BACKGROUND

The OPP Incident Data System (IDS) was consulted for poisoning incident
data on the active ingredient pronamide.  The purpose of the database
search is to identify potential patterns on the extent and severity of
the health effects attributed to pronamide exposure.  The IDS includes
reports of incidents from various sources, including mandatory Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 6 (a) (2)
reports from registrants, other federal and state health and
environmental agencies and individual consumers.  The following
databases were not searched for poisoning incident data:  the American
Association of Poison Control Centers Toxic Exposure Surveillance System
(TESS), the California Pesticide Illness Surveillance Program, and the
National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health’s Sentinel Event
Notification System for Occupational Risks (NIOSH SENSOR).  The EPA is
supplying the following incident report to fulfill our requirement to
docket summaries of incident data that were reported to the Agency.
This report represents 0 incidents occurring in the United States from
2002 to the present for the single chemical only.

The OPP Incident Data System (IDS) is a database that includes reports
of incidents from various sources, including mandatory Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) Section 6(a) (2)
reports from registrants, other federal and state health and
environmental agencies and individual consumers.  The IDS has been in
existence since 1992.  Reports submitted to the Incident Data System
represent anecdotal reports or allegations only, unless otherwise stated
in this report.  Typically, OPP does not draw conclusions implicating
the pesticide as a cause of any of the reported health effects.
Nevertheless, sometime with enough cases and/or documentation, patterns
and risk mitigation measures may be suggested.

Incident information is mainly self-reported and therefore, generally
speaking, neither exposure to a pesticide or reported symptom (or the
connection between the two) is validated.  However, incident information
is an important feedback loop to the Agency – incidents of severe
outcome, or other clear patterns or trends can signal the Agency to
further investigate a particular chemical or product.

The evaluation of incident data for pronamide chemicals has reported
only 0 incidents. At this time, the current IDS incident data alone do
not support additional risk mitigation actions.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A319-131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-232 and -
233 airplanes; and Model A321-131, -231, and -232 airplanes. This AD
was prompted by reports of forward engine mount attachment pins that
were manufactured from discrepant raw material. This AD requires
identification and replacement of affected forward engine mount
attachment pins. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a forward
engine mount attachment pin, possible loss of an engine in-flight, and
consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 22, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 22,
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus Model A319-131,
-132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-232 and -233 airplanes; and Model
A321-131, -231, and -232 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on July 30, 2015 (80 FR 45462) (``the NPRM'').
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0004, dated January 13, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model
A319-131, -132, and -133 airplanes; Model A320-232 and -233 airplanes;
and Model A321-131, -231, and -232 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    A number of forward engine mount pins, Part Number (P/N) 740-
2022-501, intended for IAE V2500 series engines, have been reported
as non-compliant with the current certification requirements, due to
a quality issue during manufacturing of the raw material. It was
also determined that a batch of 88 affected pins are installed on
in-service aeroplanes fitted with forward engine mount P/N 745-2010-
503 and the serial numbers (s/n) of the affected pins and the
[manufacturer serial number] MSN of the related aeroplanes have been
identified.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to forward engine
mount pin failure, possibly resulting in in-flight loss of an engine
and consequent reduced control of the aeroplane.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
identification of the affected forward engine mount pins and removal
from service [replacement] of those pins.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2015-
2963.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Clarify Which Attachment Pin Part Numbers May Be Installed

    United Airlines (UAL) requested that paragraph (h) of the proposed
AD be re-written to clarify which attachment pin part numbers can be
used as replacement parts.
    We partially agree with the commenter's request. We agree to
provide clarification but we do not agree to revise paragraph (h) of
this AD. Paragraph (h) of this AD states to replace with a serviceable
part having a part number other than part number (P/N) 740-2022-501,
and having a serial number that is not identified in figure 1 to
paragraphs (h) and (j) of this AD. In other words, the replacement part
cannot have a combination of P/N 740-2022-501 and any serial number
that is

included in figure 1 to paragraphs (h) and (j) of this AD. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Clarify Which Airplanes Are Not Affected by the Requirements
Proposed in the NPRM

    JetBlue requested clarification of the intent of paragraph (i) of
the proposed AD. JetBlue asserted that the way this paragraph is
written it contradicts the requirements in EASA AD 2015-0004, dated
January 13, 2015, and the intent of the inspection in paragraph (h) of
the proposed AD.
    We agree with the commenter's request to clarify the intent of
paragraph (i) of this AD. Airplanes with manufacturer serial numbers
not identified in figure 2 to paragraph (i) of this AD that have not
had an engine replaced after March 1, 2011, are not required to do the
actions mandated by paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD, which
corresponds to paragraph (2) of the MCAI AD. In paragraph (i) of the
proposed AD we inadvertently specified ``airplanes with manufacturer
serial numbers identified in figure 2 to paragraph (i) of this AD.'' We
have changed paragraph (i) of this AD to specify ``airplanes with
manufacturer serial numbers not identified in figure 2 to paragraph (i)
of this AD.''

Request To Extend the Compliance Time

    UAL requested that the compliance times in paragraph (g) of the
proposed AD be extended. UAL stated that this would keep costs down and
``make engine removal the most likely time the inspection would
occur.'' UAL also asserted that the safety concern is overstated based
on information in the Goodrich Aerostructures service information. The
``Background'' paragraph of the Goodrich Aerostructures service
information states that ``a minor metallurgical discontinuity'' was
found on some forward engine mount crossbeam to main beam attach pins
(P/N 740-2022-501). UAL stated that a minor metallurgical issue should
not drive a significant safety concern.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request to extend the
compliance time. Even a ``minor metallurgical discontinuity'' can
result in a safety concern. Forward engine mount attachment pins that
were manufactured from discrepant raw material can lead to the failure
of a forward engine mount attachment pin; this condition could result
in possible loss of an engine in-flight and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.
    After considering all of the available information, we have
determined that the compliance time, as proposed, represents an
appropriate interval of time in which the required actions can be
performed in a timely manner with the affected fleet, while still
maintaining an adequate level of safety. In developing an appropriate
compliance time, we considered the safety implications, parts
availability, and normal maintenance schedules for timely
accomplishment of the replacement. However, under the provisions of
paragraph (m)(1) of this AD, we may approve requests for adjustments to
the compliance time if data are submitted to substantiate that such an
adjustment would provide an acceptable level of safety. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.

Request To Revise the Estimated Costs of Compliance

    UAL requested that the estimated costs of compliance in the NPRM be
increased from $156,740 to $313,480. UAL also requested that the costs
for opening and closing the reversers be mentioned as costs that cannot
be calculated. Furthermore, UAL stated that based on the proposed
compliance times in paragraph (g) of the proposed AD and the size of
the UAL fleet, the proposed requirements would have to be scheduled
independently from its maintenance schedule.
    We agree with the commenter's request to increase the estimated
costs for compliance with the requirements of this AD. We note that
these are only estimated costs and may vary based on an airplane's
configuration. We also acknowledge that the costs for opening and
closing the reversers are not known and are not included in the ``Costs
of Compliance'' paragraph of this AD. However, as specified in the
service information, the inspection takes approximately 4 work-hours,
with an estimated cost of $313,480 for U.S. operators. We have changed
the ``Costs of Compliance'' paragraph of this AD accordingly.

Request To Refer to Current Service Information

    JetBlue Airways (JetBlue) requested that the NPRM be revised to
refer to Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1064, Revision 01, dated April
1, 2015; and Goodrich Aerostructures Service Bulletin V2500-NAC-71-
0323, Revision 01, dated January 28, 2015. JetBlue noted that the
service information for both Airbus and Goodrich Aerostructures had
been revised since the NPRM was published.
    We agree with the commenter's request and have revised the
``Related Service Information under 1 CFR part 51'' section and
paragraphs (g) and (h) of this AD to refer to Airbus Service Bulletin
A320-71-1064, Revision 01, dated April 1, 2015; and Goodrich
Aerostructures Service Bulletin V2500-NAC-71-0323, Revision 01, dated
January 28, 2015. We have also added new paragraph (l) to this AD to
give credit for actions done using Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-
1064, dated November 5, 2014; and Goodrich Aerostructures Service
Bulletin V2500-NAC-71-0323, dated September 18, 2014. We redesignated
subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Request To Allow Use of Airbus or Goodrich Aerostructures Service
Information To Accomplish Required Actions

    JetBlue requested that paragraph (g) of the proposed AD be revised
to allow operators to use either the Airbus service information or the
Goodrich Aerostructures service information to do the actions required
by that paragraph. JetBlue stated that if the engine is being inspected
at the shop, the actions in the Airbus service information would not be
accomplished because the Airbus service information addresses
inspections of the wing. JetBlue also stated this revision would
correspond with the requirements in corresponding EASA AD 2015-0004,
dated January 13, 2015.
    We do not agree with the commenter's request to allow operators to
have the option of doing the actions required by paragraph (g) of this
AD in accordance with either the Accomplishment Instructions of the
Airbus service information or the Goodrich Aerostructures service
information. The Airbus service information includes steps that are
considered ``required for compliance'' (RC) and those steps are not
included in the Goodrich Aerostructures service information. In
addition, Goodrich Aerostructures Service Bulletin V2500-NAC-71-0323,
Revision 01, dated January 28, 2015, does not distinguish between
``RC'' and non-``RC'' steps and refers to the Airbus service bulletin
for incorporation of several steps. Therefore, regardless of whether
the AD requirements are accomplished ``on wing'' or ``in shop,''
operators must use a combination of Airbus and Goodrich Aerostructures
service information for accomplishing the AD requirements. We have not
changed this AD regarding this issue.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A320-71-1064, Revision 01, dated
April 1, 2015; and Goodrich Aerostructures has issued Service Bulletin
V2500-NAC-71-0323, Revision 01, dated January 28, 2015. The service
information describes procedures for an inspection to determine the
serial number of the attachment pins for the forward engine mount
crossbeam to main beam for each engine, and replacement of affected
pins. This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 922 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 4 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $0 per
product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on
U.S. operators to be $313,480, or $340 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 4 work-hours and require parts costing $1,724, for a cost of
$2,064 per attachment pin replacement. We have no way of determining
the number of aircraft that might need this action.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

category, identified in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of
this AD, all manufacturer serial numbers.
    (1) Model A319-131, -132, and -133 airplanes.
    (2) Model A320-232 and -233 airplanes.
    (3) Model A321-131, -231, and -232 airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 71, Power Plant.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of forward engine mount
attachment pins that were manufactured from discrepant raw material.
We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of a forward engine mount
attachment pin, possible loss of an engine in-flight, and consequent
reduced controllability of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Identification of Part Numbers for Forward Engine Mount and
Attachment Pins

    Except as provided by paragraph (i) of this AD, at the earliest
of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this
AD: For each engine, identify the part number of the forward engine
mount, and the part number and serial number of the attachment pin
for that forward engine mount, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1064, Revision 01,
dated April 1, 2015; and Goodrich Aerostructures Service Bulletin
V2500-NAC-71-0323, Revision 01, dated January 28, 2015. A review of
airplane maintenance records is acceptable in lieu of this
identification if the part number of the forward engine mount, and
the part number and serial number of the attachment pin for that
forward engine mount, can be conclusively determined from that
review. If any part number of the forward engine mount, or part
number or serial number of the attachment pins for the forward
engine mount, cannot be identified: At the earliest of the times
specified in paragraphs (g)(1) through (g)(4) of this AD, contact
the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA; or the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA); or
Airbus's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA), for identification
information.
    (1) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD.
    (2) At the next engine removal after the effective date of this
AD.
    (3) Within 7,500 flight hours after the effective date of this
AD.
    (4) Within 5,000 flight cycles after the effective date of this
AD.

(h) Corrective Actions

    If, during any identification required by paragraph (g) of this
AD, a forward engine mount having part number (P/N) 745-2010-503 is
found, and the attachment pin has P/N 740-2022-501 with any serial
number that is included in figure 1 to paragraphs (h) and (j) of
this AD: At the earliest of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(1)
through (g)(4) of this AD, replace the affected attachment pin with
a serviceable part having a part number other than P/N 740-2022-501,
and having a serial number that is not identified in figure 1 to
paragraphs (h) and (j) of this AD, in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-71-1064,
Revision 01, dated April 1, 2015; and Goodrich Aerostructures
Service Bulletin V2500-NAC-71-0323, Revision 01, dated January 28,
2015.

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (82 FR 48836, October 20, 2017)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). That Notice elicited two comments
that were unrelated to the 60-day Notice. Accordingly, no changes have
been made to the Collections.

Information Collection Request

    Title: U.S. Coast Guard Non-appropriated Fund Employment
Application.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0120.
    Summary: The USCG Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application form
is used to collect applicant qualification information associated with
vacancy announcements. The form allows individuals to apply for
employment opportunities with the Coast Guard Non-appropriated Fund
(NAF) workforce and fills the gap created by the cancellation of the
Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, OMB No. 3206-
0219.
    Need: The U.S. Coast Guard rates applicants under the authority of
Title 5 of U.S. Code, Sections 301, 1104, 1302, 3301, and 3304. The
Optional Application for Federal Employment, Form OF-612, was cancelled
and the information is now collected in USA Jobs. The NAF personnel
system does not utilize USA Jobs because of the high cost and high
turnover rate and thus relied heavily on form OF-612 for applicants.
    Forms: CG-1227B, Non-Appropriated Fund Employment Application.
    Respondents: Public applying for positions with the USCG Non-
appropriated Fund Workforce.
    Frequency: Per vacancy announcements.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 8,400
hours to 3,837 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual
number of respondents.

    Authority:  The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: January 25, 2018.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No.FAA-2014-0240; Notice No. 25-558-SC]

Special Conditions: Embraer S.A.; Model EMB-550 Airplane; Stowage
Compartment Fire Protection

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Embraer S.A. Model
EMB-550 airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design
feature when compared to the state of technology and design envisioned
in the airworthiness standards for transport category airplanes. This
design feature is the installation of a stowage compartment in the
lavatory. The isolation of this stowage compartment from the main cabin
could hinder the ability of the flight crew to detect a fire. The
applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special
conditions contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: Effective Date: August 15, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert C. Jones, FAA, Propulsion and
Mechanical Systems Branch, ANM-112, Transport Airplane Directorate,
Aircraft Certification Service, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; facsimile (425) 227-
1149.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On May 14, 2009, Embraer S.A. applied for a type certificate for
its new Model EMB-550 airplane. The Model EMB-550 airplane is the first
of a new family of jet airplanes designed for corporate flight,
fractional, charter, and private owner operations. The airplane has a
configuration with low wing and T-tail empennage. The primary structure
is metal with composite empennage and control surfaces. The Model EMB-
550 airplane is designed for 8 passengers, with a maximum of 12
passengers. It is equipped with two Honeywell AS907-3-1E medium bypass
ratio turbofan engines mounted on aft fuselage pylons. Each engine
produces approximately 6,540 pounds of thrust for normal takeoff.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, Embraer S.A. must show that
the Model EMB-550 meets the applicable provisions of part 25, as
amended by Amendments 25-1 through 25-127.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Model EMB-550 because of a novel
or unusual design feature, special conditions are prescribed under the
provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Model EMB-550 must comply with the fuel vent and
exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise
certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36, and the FAA must issue a
finding of regulatory adequacy under Sec.  611 of Public Law 92-574,
the ``Noise Control Act of 1972.''
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type-
certification basis under Sec.  21.17(a)(2).

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model EMB-550 will incorporate the following novel or unusual
design features: A stowage compartment, designed to store passenger
belongings, located in the lavatory. The stowage compartment may be
isolated from the main passenger cabin by two doors (lavatory and
stowage compartment doors), which could hinder the ability to detect
smoke or fire. The installation of a stowage compartment in the
lavatory is a novel and unusual design feature for which the applicable
airworthiness

regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards.

Discussion

    Embraer did not classify the EMB-550 stowage compartment in the aft
part of the pressurized area as a Class B cargo compartment due to its
relatively small volume of 37 cubic feet. The compartment has a door
that is intended to be closed in all phases of flight but can be opened
to allow passenger access during flight. The lavatory door must be kept
open for takeoff and landing but will likely be kept closed in all
other phases of flight.
    Due to the facts that the stowage compartment is not classified as
a Class B cargo compartment and may be isolated from the main cabin by
two doors during flight, and considering that it will be used to store
passenger belongings, existing requirements for stowage compartments
are not adequate to address fire protection concerns. The isolation
characteristics and the possibility of storing items that may start a
fire create the potential for an undetected fire event.
    Additional safety precautions are required to avoid a situation
where a fire condition remains undetected in an isolated stowage
compartment. These special conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.

Discussion of the Comments

    Notice of proposed special conditions No. 25-14-02-SC for the
Embraer Model EMB-550 airplane was published in the Federal Register on
April 15, 2014 (79 FR 20818). One commenter suggested changes to two
paragraphs in the proposed special conditions. The commenter believes
the changes would provide more specificity and clarification.
    The commenter suggested we include both ``smoke'' and ``fire'' in
paragraph 1a of the special conditions, as both terms are used in the
referenced regulation. We agree and have incorporated the proposed
changes accordingly. We historically have used smoke and fire
synonymously and believe that it remains appropriate.
    The commenter also suggested the special conditions include the
amendment level for Sec.  25.858. We agree and have incorporated this
comment.
    The commenter suggested that the special condition only require the
annunciation be provided to the flight crew, in order to be consistent
with Sec.  25.858. We agree that the requirement should be consistent
with Sec.  25.858, and have removed the flight deck indication text and
simply required the system meet Sec.  25.858.
    The commenter also recommended that the special conditions require
the indication to the flight deck be provided within one minute, in
order to be consistent with Sec.  25.858. In discussions with the
applicant all parties agreed to the need to detect a fire within 60
seconds per the current Sec.  25.858 as referenced. With the change to
simply require the system meet Sec.  25.858 noted above, it would be
redundant to include the 60-second detection time in the special
conditions.
    In the second comment, the commenter suggested text changes to
remove any ambiguity over whether protective breathing equipment would
be required. We agree that the proposed text is clearer and have
incorporated the proposed changes accordingly.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Embraer Model EMB-550. Should Embraer S.A. apply at a later date for a
change to the type certificate to include another model incorporating
the same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would
apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on one model of airplanes. It is not a rule of general applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-550.
    1. Stowage Compartment Fire Protection.
    a. A means for smoke or fire detection that meets the provisions of
Sec.  25.858 at Amendment 25.93 is required regardless of the fact that
the compartment is not classified as a cargo compartment per Sec.
25.857 (only a ``stowage'' compartment).
    b. In addition to the requirements of Sec.  25.851, at least one
hand-held or manually-activated compartment fire extinguisher
appropriate to the kinds of fires likely to occur must be provided for
the lavatory. If a hand-held fire extinguisher is provided, then
protective breathing equipment must be provided with the extinguisher.
    c. Sufficient access must be provided to enable a crew member to
effectively reach any part of the stowage compartment with the content
of a hand-held fire extinguisher.
    d. When the access provisions are being used, no hazardous quantity
of smoke, flames, or extinguishing agent will enter any compartment

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Effective Date of the Trading Pause
Pilot

April 5, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on March 30, 2011, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change
from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to amend FINRA Rule 6121 (Trading Halts Due to
Extraordinary Market Volatility) to extend the effective date of the
single stock circuit breaker pilot program until the earlier of August
11, 2011 or the date on which a limit up/down mechanism to address
extraordinary market volatility, if adopted, applies to the pilot
securities.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA proposes to amend FINRA Rule 6121.01 to extend the effective
date of the pilot by which such rule operates, which is currently
scheduled to expire on April 11, 2011, until the earlier of August 11,
2011 or the date on which a limit up/down mechanism to address
extraordinary market volatility, if adopted, applies to the pilot
securities.
    FINRA Rule 6121.01 provides that if a primary listing market has
issued an individual stock trading pause under its rules, FINRA will
halt trading otherwise than on an exchange in that security until
trading has resumed on the primary listing market. The pilot was
developed and implemented as a market-wide initiative by FINRA and
other self-regulatory organizations (``SROs'') in consultation with
Commission staff, and is currently applicable to the S&P 500[supreg]
Index,\3\ the Russell 1000[supreg] Index and a pilot list of Exchange
Traded Products,\4\ together, the ``pilot securities.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62251 (June 10,
2010), 75 FR 34183 (June 16, 2010) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2010-025).
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62883 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56608 (September 16, 2010) (Order Approving File No.
SR-FINRA-2010-033).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The extension proposed herein would allow the pilot to continue to
operate without interruption while FINRA and the other SROs further
assess the effect of the pilot on the marketplace and whether other
initiatives should be adopted in lieu of the current pilot.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness and has requested that the SEC waive the requirement that
the proposed rule change not become operative for 30 days after the
date of the filing, such that the pilot can continue to operate without
interruption for the benefit of the marketplace and the investing
public.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\5\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change meets
these requirements in that it promotes uniformity across markets
concerning decisions to pause trading in a security when there are
significant price movements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Additionally, extension of the pilot until the earlier of August
11, 2011 or the date on which a limit up/down mechanism to address
extraordinary market volatility, if adopted, applies to the pilot
securities, would allow the pilot to continue to operate without
interruption while FINRA and the other SROs further assess the effect
of the pilot on the marketplace and whether other initiatives should be
adopted in lieu of the current pilot.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate if consistent with
the protection of investors and the public interest, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \6\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \7\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). When filing a proposed rule change
pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the Act, an exchange is required
to give the Commission written notice of its intent to file the
proposed rule change, along with a brief description and text of the
proposed rule change, at least five business days prior to the date
of filing of the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as
designated by the Commission. The Commission notes that the Exchange
has satisfied this requirement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) normally may
not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.\8\
However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ permits the Commission to designate a
shorter time if such action is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange has requested that the
Commission waive the 30-day operative delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission has considered the Exchange's request to waive the
30-day operative delay. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day
operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest, as it will allow the pilot program to continue
uninterrupted, thereby avoiding the investor confusion that could
result from a temporary interruption in the pilot program.\10\ For this
reason, the Commission designates the proposed rule change to be
operative upon filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ For the purposes only of waiving the operative delay of
this proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's
impact on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15
U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.
