SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information on the Draft Health Effects Documents for
Perfluorooctanoic Acid and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate

    EPA has prepared draft health effects documents for
Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) and Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS) for
purposes of public comment (scientific views) and peer review. EPA will
consider any public comments submitted in accordance with this

notice when finalizing the documents. Once the health effects documents
are finalized, they will be utilized to develop lifetime health
advisory values for each chemical. PFOA and PFOS are listed on the
third contaminant Candidate List (CCL3) \1\ and both chemicals are
currently being monitored under the third Unregulated Contaminant
Monitoring Rule (UCMR3) \2\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ CCL3 is a list of contaminants that are currently not
subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking
water regulations, that are known or anticipated to occur in public
water systems, and which may require regulation under the Safe
Drinking Water Act (SDWA). Additional information about the CCL3 can
be found at the following Web site: http://water.epa.gov/scitech/drinkingwater/dws/ccl/ccl3.cfm.
    \2\ EPA uses the Unregulated Contaminant Monitoring (UCM)
program to collect data for unregulated contaminants suspected to be
present in drinking water. Results from UCMR3 can be examined as
they become available at the following Web site: http://water.epa.gov/lawsregs/rulesregs/sdwa/ucmr/ucmr3/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. How To Submit Nominations for Peer Reviewers

    Expertise Sought: EPA is seeking candidates who are nationally and/
or internationally recognized scientific experts to serve as external
peer reviewers for the draft health effects documents for PFOA and
PFOS. Nominees should possess and demonstrate background knowledge and
experience in one or more of the following areas: (1) Epidemiology, (2)
toxicology (liver effects, immunotoxicity, neurotoxicity, developmental
and reproductive toxicology, etc.), (3) membrane transport, (4) human
health risk assessment, (5) pharmacokinetic models, and (6) mode-of-
action for cancer and noncancer effects.
    Selection Criteria: Selection criteria for individuals nominated to
serve as external peer reviewers of the draft documents include the
following: (1) Demonstrated expertise through relevant peer reviewed
publications, (2) professional accomplishments and recognition by
professional societies, (3) demonstrated ability to work constructively
and effectively in a committee setting, (4) absence of financial
conflicts of interest, (5) no actual conflicts of interest or the
appearance of lack of impartiality, (6) willingness to commit adequate
time for the thorough review of the draft health effects documents for
PFOA and PFOS commencing in June 2014 (exact date to be determined),
and (7) availability to participate in-person in a two-day peer review
meeting in the Washington, DC metro area in July or August 2014 (exact
date will be published in the Federal Register at least 30 days prior
to the external peer review meeting). Further information regarding the
external peer review meeting will be announced at a later date in the
Federal Register.
    Peer reviewer candidates must not have previously provided comments
on the draft health effects documents for PFOA and PFOS; that is,
anyone wishing to be considered as a peer reviewer must not submit
comments during the 60-day public comment period. However, candidates
not selected for the panel peer review will be given a limited
opportunity to submit public comments once the final peer reviewers are
selected by Versar, Inc., the EPA contractor managing this peer review
process.
    Required Nominee Information: To receive full consideration, the
following information should be provided on the nomination form
available at the Versar URL: (1) Contact information for the person
making the nomination; (2) contact information for the nominee; (3) the
disciplinary and specific areas of expertise of the nominee; (4) the
nominee's curriculum vita; and (4) a biographical sketch of the nominee
indicating current position, educational background, past and current
research activities, and recent service on other advisory committees,
peer review panels, editorial boards, or professional organizations,
sources of recent grant and/or contract support, and other comments on
the relevance of the nominee's expertise to this peer review topic.
Compensation of non-federal peer reviewers will be provided by EPA's
contractor.
    Selection Process: EPA's contractor, Versar, will notify candidates
of selection or non-selection. Versar may also conduct an independent
search for candidates to assemble a balanced group representing the
expertise needed to fully evaluate EPA's draft documents. Versar will
consider and screen all candidates against the criteria listed above.
Following the screening process, Versar will narrow the list of
potential reviewers to 12-15 candidates. Prior to selecting the final
peer reviewers, a second Federal Register notice will be published
(exact date to be determined) to solicit comments on the interim list
of 12-15 candidates. The public will be requested to provide relevant
information or documentation on the nominees that Versar should
consider in evaluating the candidates within 21 days of following the
announcement of the interim candidates. Once the public comments on the
interim list of candidates have been reviewed, Versar will select the
final six to seven peer reviewers who, collectively, best provide
expertise spanning the multiple areas listed above and, to the extent
feasible, best provide a balance of perspectives. Additional
information on the nomination process can be found at: http://peerreview.versar.com/epa/pfoa.

III. How to Submit Comments (Scientific Views) on the Draft Health
Effects Documents

    The draft documents ``Health Effects Document for Perfluorooctanoic
Acid'' and ``Health Effects Document for Perfluorooctane Sulfonate''
and charge questions are available electronically by the following
methods: (1) Public Docket at http://www.regulations.gov (Docket ID No.
EPA-HQ-OW-2014-0138) or (2) Versar's peer review Web site at http://peerreview.versar.com/epa/pfoa. Oral or written comments will not be
accepted during the external peer review meeting, so it is important
that all comments be submitted during the public comment period. As
stated in Section II, anyone wishing to be considered as a peer
reviewer must not submit comments during the 60-day public comment
period. No comments will be accepted after the closing of the comment
period except from those nominated as a potential peer reviewer but not
selected as a final peer reviewer.

on the first page of your request.
    1. Written comments. The Agency encourages that written comments be
submitted, using the instructions in ADDRESSES, no later than July 3,
2007, to provide FIFRA SAP the time necessary to consider and review
the written comments. However, written comments are accepted until the
date of the meeting. Persons wishing to submit written comments at the
meeting should contact the DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT and submit 30 copies. There is no limit on the extent of
written comments for consideration by FIFRA SAP.
    2. Oral comments. The Agency encourages that each individual or

meeting by interested persons who have not previously requested time.
The request should identify the name of the individual making the
presentation, the organization (if any) the individual will represent,
and any requirements for audiovisual equipment (e.g., overhead
projector, 35 mm projector, chalkboard). Oral comments before FIFRA SAP
are limited to approximately 5 minutes unless prior arrangements have
been made. In addition, each speaker should bring 30 copies of his or
her comments and presentation slides for distribution to the FIFRA SAP
at the meeting.
    3. Seating at the meeting. Seating at the meeting will be on a
first-come basis.
    4. Request for nominations to serve as ad hoc members of the FIFRA
SAP for this meeting. As part of a broader process for developing a
pool of candidates for each meeting, the FIFRA SAP staff routinely
solicits the stakeholder community for nominations of prospective
candidates for service as ad hoc members of the FIFRA SAP. Any
interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals to
be considered as prospective candidates for a specific meeting.
Individuals nominated for this meeting should have expertise in one or
more of the following areas: Microbiology, disinfectant and sporicidal
efficacy testing, cellular biology/morphology of bacterial spores and
statistics. Nominees should be scientists who have sufficient
professional qualifications, including training and experience, to be
capable of providing expert comments on the scientific issues for this
meeting. Nominees should be identified by name, occupation, position,
address, and telephone number. Nominations should be provided to the
DFO listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT on or before March 26,
2007. The Agency will consider all nominations of prospective
candidates for this meeting that are received on or before this date.
However, final selection of ad hoc members for this meeting is a
discretionary function of the Agency.
    The selection of scientists to serve on the FIFRA SAP is based on
the function of the panel and the expertise needed to address the
Agency's charge to the panel. No interested scientists shall be
ineligible to serve by reason of their membership on any other advisory
committee to a Federal department or agency or their employment by a
Federal department or agency except the EPA. Other factors considered
during the selection process include availability of the potential
panel member to fully participate in the panel's reviews, absence of
any conflicts of interest or appearance of lack of impartiality,
independence with respect to the matters under review, and lack of
bias. Though financial conflicts of interest, the appearance of lack of
impartiality, lack of independence, and bias may result in
disqualification, the absence of such concerns does not assure that a
candidate will be selected to serve on the FIFRA SAP. Numerous
qualified candidates are identified for each panel. Therefore,
selection decisions involve carefully weighing a number of factors
including the candidates' areas of expertise and professional
qualifications and achieving an overall balance of different scientific
perspectives on the panel.
    In order to have the collective breadth of experience needed to
address the Agency's charge for this meeting, the Agency anticipates
selecting approximately 10 ad hoc scientists. FIFRA SAP members are
subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch
Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. In
anticipation of this requirement, prospective candidates for service on
the FIFRA SAP will be asked to submit confidential financial disclosure
information which shall fully disclose, among other financial
interests, the candidate's employment, stocks and bonds, and, where
applicable, sources of research support. The EPA will evaluate the
candidates financial disclosure form to assess whether there are
financial conflicts of interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality
or any prior involvement with the development of the documents under
consideration (including previous scientific peer review) before the
candidate is considered further for service on the FIFRA SAP. Those who
are selected from the pool of prospective candidates will be asked to
attend the public meetings and to participate in the discussion of key
issues and assumptions at these meetings. In addition, they will be
asked to review and to help finalize the meeting minutes. The list of
FIFRA SAP members participating at this meeting will be posted on the
FIFRA SAP web site at http://epa.gov/scipoly/sap or may be obtained from the OPP Regulatory Public Docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

II. Background

A. Purpose of the FIFRA SAP

    The FIFRA SAP serves as the primary scientific peer review
mechanism of the EPA, Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic
Substances (OPPTS), and is structured to provide scientific advice,
information and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on pesticides
and pesticide-related issues as to the impact of regulatory actions on
health and the environment. The FIFRA SAP is a Federal advisory
committee established in 1975 under FIFRA that operates in accordance
with requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act. The FIFRA SAP
is composed of a permanent panel consisting of seven members who are
appointed by the EPA Administrator from nominees provided by the
National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
FIFRA, as amended by the FQPA of 1996, established a Science Review
Board consisting of at least 60 scientists who are available to the
FIFRA SAP on an ad hoc basis to assist in reviews conducted by the
Panel. As a peer review

mechanism, the FIFRA SAP provides comments, evaluations and
recommendations to improve the effectiveness and quality of analyses
made by Agency scientists. Members of the FIFRA SAP are scientists who
have sufficient professional qualifications, including training and
experience, to provide expert advice and recommendation to the Agency.

B. Public Meeting

    The FIFRA SAP will meet to consider and review guidance on test
methods for demonstrating the efficacy of antimicrobial products for
inactivating Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) spores on environmental
surfaces. EPA regulations require that product performance (efficacy)
studies be submitted to support registration of an antimicrobial
product for which public health claims, such as ``disinfect'' or
``sterilize'' (40 CFR 158.640), are made. In addition, any claim of
inactivation of a specific microorganism should be supported by valid
data that demonstrate the efficacy of the product against that
particular microorganism. At this SAP meeting, the EPA will present
draft guidance concerning efficacy testing to support a claim that an
antimicrobial product inactivates B. anthracis spores on inanimate
environmental surfaces. EPA is seeking the assistance of the FIFRA SAP
to review and comment on the scientific basis for efficacy data
requirements to support registration of products that make such claims.
Specific topics the FIFRA SAP will be asked to consider include
available qualitative and quantitative sporicidal efficacy test
methods, the use of various coupon materials to conduct tests, use of
test surrogates for B. anthracis, and the adequacy of performance
standards for quantitative sporicidal testing. Further, EPA is seeking
assistance of the SAP to review and comment on the scientific basis for
using a ``simulated use test'' for gases and vapors to support
registration of sterilants and sporicides.

C. FIFRA SAP Documents and Meeting Minutes

    EPA's background paper, related supporting materials, charge/
questions to the FIFRA SAP, FIFRA SAP composition (i.e., members and ad
hoc members for this meeting), and the meeting agenda will be available
by mid-June. In addition, the Agency may provide additional background
documents as the materials become available. You may obtain electronic
copies of these documents, and certain other related documents that
might be available electronically, at http://www.regulations.gov and the FIFRA SAP homepage at http://www.epa.gov/scipoly/sap.

Airworthiness Directives; Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd. Sailplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Slingsby Sailplanes Ltd. Models Dart T.51, Dart T.51/17, and
Dart T.51/17R sailplanes equipped with aluminum alloy spar booms. This
AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
issued by an aviation authority of another country to identify and
correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes
the unsafe condition as an incident of glue joint failure on a
starboard wing caused by water entering the area of the airbrake box
that resulted in delamination and corrosion in the area of the aluminum
alloy spar booms and the wing attach fittings. We are issuing this AD
to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 20, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of June 20,
2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of
December 14, 1998 (63 FR 58624, November 2, 1998).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March 6, 2013 (78 FR
14467), and proposed to supersede AD 98-22-15, Amendment 39-10863 (63
FR 58624, November 2, 1998).
    Since we issued AD 98-22-15, Amendment 39-10863 (63 FR 58624,
November 2, 1998), Slingsby Aviation Ltd. has revised the related
service information to remove the 5-year repetitive ``cutout''
inspection and to add a repetitive annual inspection using an
endoscope. The endoscope inspection method would be done using existing
drain holes in the lower wing skin.
    Using revised service information is mandatory within the United
Kingdom airworthiness system. It is not necessary for the Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA), which is the aviation authority for the
United Kingdom, to issue an AD to mandate the use of new service
information.
    AD action is the only way the FAA can mandate the use of new
service information; however, owners/operators may request approval
from the FAA to use an alternative method of compliance (AMOC).
    Several U.S. operators have complained that the repetitive 5-year
``cutout'' inspection in the wooden wing skin, currently required by AD
98-22-15, Amendment 39-10863 (63 FR 58624, November 2, 1998), was by
default growing larger and larger with each inspection.
    We have determined that the current 5-year repetitive ``cutout''
inspections will eventually weaken the wing structure and could result
in an unsafe condition. We concur with the change to the annual
endoscope inspection.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comments received. John Wells, Michael
Hoke, Chad Croix Wille, and one anonymous commenter support the NPRM
(78 FR 14467, March 6, 2013).

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD as proposed except for minor editorial changes. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 14467, March 6, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 14467, March 6, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 10 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 40 work-hours per product to
comply with the initial inspection requirement retained from AD 98-22-
15, Amendment 39-10863 (63 FR 58624, November 2, 1998) in this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the initial
inspection required in this AD on U.S. operators to be $34,000, or
$3,400 per product.
    We also estimate that it will take about 2 work-hours per product
to comply with the new repetitive inspection requirement in this AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the new repetitive
inspection required in this AD on U.S. operators to be $1,700, or $170
per product.
    We have no way of determining the number of repetitive inspections
an owner/operator will incur over the life of the sailplane or the
number of sailplanes that will need repairs.

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 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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (78 FR 14467, March 6, 2013),
the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Office (telephone (800)
647-5527) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in
the AD docket shortly after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-12/47E airplanes.
This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as inward vent valves
installed during production without chromate conversion coating on the
bonding surface. This proposed AD would require modifying the inward
vent valves and prohibiting installation of unmodified inward vent
valves. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on
these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by December
27, 2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0999;
Project Identifier MCAI-2021-00036-A'' at the beginning of your
comments. The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the
proposal, explain the reason for any recommended change, and include
supporting data. The FAA will consider all comments received by the
closing date and may amend this NPRM because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Doug
Rudolph, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas
City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Background

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2021-0010, dated January 11, 2021 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for Pilatus Model PC-12/
47E airplanes with serial number 1720 and serial number 2001 and
higher. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported where, on the production line, a
batch of inward vent valves without a chromate conversion coating on
the bonding surface were installed on some PC-12/47E aeroplanes.
Such inward vent valves are not in compliance with the latest
approved design data.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to corrosion,
consequent degradation of the electrical bonding to Rib 16, and in
case of lightning strike, to arcing between the ungrounded equipment
and the primary structure, possibly resulting in a fire and reduced
control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Pilatus issued the
SB [Service Bulletin] to provide modification instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
modification of each affected part, as defined in this AD. This AD
also prohibits (re-) installation of affected parts.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-
0999.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed the following service documents proposed for
compliance with this NPRM:
    Pilatus Service Bulletin No. 28-015, dated October 12, 2020, which
contains information for identifying the affected inward vent valves,
removing the affected inward vent valve, and installing a modified
inward vent valve.
    Pall Corporation Service Bulletin SB9337-01-29-01, Issue 1, dated
September 22, 2020, which contains instructions for modifying the
inward vent valve by applying corrosion protective chromate
conversation coating.
    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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority,
it has notified the agency of the unsafe condition described in the
MCAI and service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this
NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described previously
is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described. This proposed AD would
also prohibit installation of the unmodified inward vent valves on any
airplane.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 24 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Modification per airplane if both       3 work-hours x $85 per               $50            $305          $7,320
 sides affected.                         hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Would not be a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd.: Docket No. FAA-2021-0999; Project Identifier
MCAI-2021-00036-A.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments on this airworthiness directive
(AD) by December 27, 2021.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Model PC-12/47E
airplanes, serial number (S/N) 1720 and S/N 2001 and larger,
certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 2800, Aircraft Fuel
System.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as inward vent
valves installed during production without chromate conversion
coating on the bonding surface. The FAA is issuing this AD to
prevent corrosion and degradation of the electrical bonding to Rib
16. This condition, if not addressed, could lead to arcing between
the ungrounded equipment and the primary structure in the event of a
lightning strike, resulting in a fire and reduced airplane control.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Definitions

    (1) Group 1 airplanes: Airplanes with an inward vent valve part
number (P/N) 9<IP_ADDRESS>0 installed with a serial number listed in
section 1.C(1) of Pilatus Service Bulletin No. 28-015, dated October
12, 2020 (Pilatus SB 20-015).
    (2) Group 2 airplanes: Airplanes without an inward vent valve P/
N 9<IP_ADDRESS>0 installed with a serial number listed in section
1.C(1) of Pilatus SB 20-015.

(h) Modification of Inward Vent Valves

    For Group 1 airplanes, within 1,200 hours time-in-service after
the effective date of this AD or within 9 months after the effective
date of this AD, whichever occurs first, modify each inward vent
valve in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions and Rework
Instructions in Pall Corporation Service Bulletin SB9337-01-29-01,
Issue 1, dated September 22, 2020 (Pall SB9337-01-29-01, Issue 1).

(i) Prohibited Installation

    For all airplanes, as of the effective date of this AD, do not
install an inward vent valve P/N 9<IP_ADDRESS>0 that has a serial
number listed in section 1.C(1) of Pilatus SB 28-015 on any
airplane, unless it is modified in accordance with the
Accomplishment Instructions and Rework Instructions of Pall SB9337-
01-29-01, Issue 1.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, International Validation Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the manager of the certification office, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k)(1) of this AD or

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) has received a request for a waiver of compliance from certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Great Lakes Central Railroad (Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2010-
0094)

    The Great Lakes Central Railroad (GLC) seeks a waiver of compliance
from certain provisions of the Passenger Equipment Safety Standards, 49
CFR 238.103(a)(1), which requires that ``Materials used in constructing
a passenger car or a cab of a locomotive ordered on or after September
8, 2000, or placed in service for the first time on or after September
9, 2002, shall meet the test performance criteria for flammability and
smoke emission characteristics as specified in Appendix B to this
part.''
    GLC states that it is installing new seats in its Budd-built
commuter cars. The armrest cover material is made of urethane which,
when burned, emits smoke and, therefore, not complying with the
aforementioned standard. GLC states that the armrest is attached to a
metal riser, which is attached to the metal seat frame. The seat, frame
and the flooring all meet the requirement of 49 CFR 238.103(a)(1). The
armrest is separated by metal from other vehicle parts, and there are
no combustible materials within four feet of the armrest. It is
unlikely that this armrest could contribute to flame or smoke unless
there is a major fire. GLC provided a diagram and photograph of the
armrest which are included in the docket.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number (e.g., Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-
2010-0094) and may be submitted by any of the following methods:
     Web site: http:[sol][sol]www.regulations.gov. Follow the

     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,

    Communications received within 45 days of the date of this notice
will be

considered by FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after
that date will be considered as far as practicable. All written
communications concerning these proceedings are available for
examination during regular business hours (9 a.m.-5 p.m.) at the above
facility. All documents in the public docket are also available for
inspection and copying on the Internet at the docket facility's Web

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-82016; File No. SR-NYSEARCA-2017-124]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NYSE Arca, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend the NYSE
Arca Options Fees and Charges Schedule and the NYSE Arca Equities Fees
and Charges Schedule Relating to Co-Location Services To Reflect the
Name Change of a Third Party Data Feed

November 6, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the ``Act'') \2\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\3\ notice is hereby
given that, on October 25, 2017, NYSE Arca, Inc. (``Exchange'' or
``NYSE Arca'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I, II,
and III below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. 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\ 15 U.S.C. 78a.
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend the NYSE Arca Options Fees and
Charges schedule and the NYSE Arca Equities Fees and Charges schedule
(together, the ``Fee Schedules'') relating to co-location services to
reflect the name change of a third party data feed. The Exchange
proposes to implement the proposed change on November 1, 2017. The
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site at
www.nyse.com, at the principal office of the Exchange, 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, the self-regulatory organization
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 those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedules relating to co-
location \4\ services to reflect the name change of a third party data
feed. The Exchange proposes to implement the proposed change on
November 1, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Exchange initially filed rule changes relating to its
co-location services with the Commission in 2010. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 63275 (November 8, 2010), 75 FR 70048
(November 16, 2010) (SR-NYSEArca-2010-100). The Exchange operates a
data center in Mahwah, New Jersey (the ``data center'') from which
it provides co-location services to Users.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The co-location services that the Exchange offers Users \5\ include
connectivity to third party data feeds from third party markets and
other content service providers (``Third Party Data Feeds'').\6\ The
list of Third Party Data Feeds is set forth in the Fee Schedules, and
includes the NYSE Global Index.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For purposes of the Exchange's co-location services, a
``User'' means any market participant that requests to receive co-
location services directly from the Exchange. See Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 76010 (September 29, 2015), 80 FR 60197
(October 5, 2015) (SR-NYSEArca-2015-82). As specified in the Price
List, a User that incurs co-location fees for a particular co-
location service pursuant thereto would not be subject to co-
location fees for the same co-location service charged by the
Exchange's affiliates New York Stock Exchange LLC (``NYSE LLC'') and
NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American'' and, together with NYSE LLC,
the ``Affiliate SROs''). See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
70173 (August 13, 2013), 78 FR 50459 (August 19, 2013) (SR-NYSEArca-
2013-80).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80310 (March 24,
2017), 82 FR 15763 (March 30, 2017) (SR-NYSEArca-2016-89).
    \7\ The NYSE Global Index feed includes index and exchange
traded product valuations data, with data drawn from the Exchange,
the Affiliate SROS, and third party exchanges. Because it includes
third party data, the NYSE Global Index feed is considered a Third
Party Data Feed. See id., at 15771.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The name of NYSE Global Index is changing to ``ICE Data Global
Index.''

The Exchange accordingly proposes to amend the Fee Schedules to reflect
the change. The Exchange does not propose to change the applicable
monthly recurring connectivity fee. The Exchange proposes the following
changes:
     In the third sentence under ``Connectivity to Third Party
Data Feeds,'' the reference to ``NYSE Global Index'' would be changed
to ``ICE Data Global Index.''
     In the table under ``Connectivity to Third Party Data
Feeds,'' the line listing ``NYSE Global Index'' and the related $100
monthly recurring connectivity fee would be deleted, and a new line
added, as follows (additions italicized):

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Monthly recurring
                                                        connectivity fee
                Third Party Data Feed                   per Third Party
                                                           Data Feed
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Global OTC...........................................               $100
ICE Data Global Index................................                100
ICE Data Services Consolidated Feed <= 100 Mb........                200
------------------------------------------------------------------------

General
    As is the case with all Exchange co-location arrangements, (i)
neither a User nor any of the User's customers would be permitted to
submit orders directly to the Exchange unless such User or customer is
a member organization, a Sponsored Participant or an agent thereof
(e.g., a service bureau providing order entry services); (ii) use of
the co-location services proposed herein would be completely voluntary
and available to all Users on a non-discriminatory basis; \8\ and (iii)
a User would only incur one charge for the particular co-location
service described herein, regardless of whether the User connects only
to the Exchange or to the Exchange and one or both the Affiliate
SROs.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ As is currently the case, Users that receive co-location
services from the Exchange will not receive any means of access to
the Exchange's trading and execution systems that is separate from,
or superior to, that of other Users. In this regard, all orders sent
to the Exchange enter the Exchange's trading and execution systems
through the same order gateway, regardless of whether the sender is
co-located in the data center or not. In addition, co-located Users
do not receive any market data or data service product that is not
available to all Users, although Users that receive co-location
services normally would expect reduced latencies in sending orders
to, and receiving market data from, the Exchange.
    \9\ See 78 FR 50459, supra note 5, at 50459. The Affiliate SROs
have also submitted substantially the same proposed rule change to
propose the changes described herein. See SR-NYSE-2017-55 and SR-
NYSEAMER-2017-28.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed change is not otherwise intended to address any other
issues relating to co-location services and/or related fees, and the
Exchange is not aware of any problems that Users would have in
complying with the proposed change.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Sections 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, because
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating,
clearing, settling, processing information with respect to, and
facilitating transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The non-substantive change proposed is intended solely to reflect
the name change of ``NYSE Global Index'' to ``ICE Data Global Index.''
The proposed rule change, therefore would remove impediments to, and
perfect the mechanisms of, a free and open market and a national market
system and, in general, protect investors and the public interest
because it would update the Fee Schedules to reflect the name change,
increasing the clarity and transparency of the Exchange's rules.
    For the reasons above, the proposed changes would not unfairly
discriminate between or among market participants that are otherwise
capable of satisfying any applicable co-location fees, requirements,
terms and conditions established from time to time by the Exchange.
    For these reasons, the Exchange believes that the proposal is
consistent with the Act.

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\12\ the Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change will not impose any burden on
competition that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act because it is solely intended to reflect the name
change of ``NYSE Global Index'' to ``ICE Data Global Index.'' No other
change is proposed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \13\ of the Act and subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule
19b-4 \14\ thereunder, because it establishes a due, fee, or other
charge imposed by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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 under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \15\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon written request, copies available from: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension: Rule 17a-3(a)(16), SEC File No. 270-452, OMB Control No.
3235-0508.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Sec. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 17a-3(a)(16) (17 CFR 240.17a-3(a)(16)) under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78q et seq.) identifies
the records required to be made by broker-dealers that operate internal
broker-dealer systems. Those records are to be used in monitoring
compliance with the Commission's financial responsibility program and
antifraud and antimanipulative rules, as well as other rules and
regulations of the Commission and the self-regulatory organizations. It
is estimated that approximately 105 active broker-dealer respondents
registered with the Commission incur an average burden of 2,835 hours
per year (105 respondents multiplied by 27 burden hours per respondent
equals 2,385 total burden hours) to comply with this rule. The average
cost per hour is $197. Therefore the total cost of compliance for the
respondents is $558,495.
    Rule 17a-3(a)(16) does not contain record retention requirements.
Compliance with the rule is mandatory. The required records are
available only to the examination staff of the Commission and the self-
regulatory organization of which the broker-dealer is a member. An
agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to
respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to (i) Desk Officer for the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or by sending an e-mail to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) R. Corey Booth, Director/Chief

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Shirley
Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-
mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Comments must be submitted within 30
days of this notice.

    Dated: August 20, 2007.
Florence E. Harmon,
Deputy Secretary.
