39-19811; AD 2019-23-17]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX and Model FALCON 2000EX
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of iced angle-of-attack
(AoA) probes after take-off, with associated misleading airspeed
indication and/or misleading stall warning. This AD requires revising
the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) to provide the flightcrew
with updated procedures related to manually activating heating of the
AoA probes during line up, as specified in a European Union Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective December 27, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 27,
2019.
    We must receive comments on this AD by January 27, 2020.

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:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0273, dated November 4, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0273'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Model FALCON 900EX and FALCON 2000EX airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by reports of iced AoA probes after take-off,
with associated misleading airspeed indication and/or misleading stall
warning. A slow or late positioning of thrust levers into the take-off
position in certain conditions can lead to probes being heated too late
during the take-off run, which increases the risk of icing on probes
after take-off. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition,
which could lead to blocked AoA probes, possibly resulting in reduced
control of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional background
information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0273 describes procedures for revising the existing
AFM to provide the flightcrew with updated normal procedures related to
manually activating AoA probe heating during line up. This material 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 a bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2019-0273 described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2019-0273
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This AD,
therefore, requires compliance with EASA AD 2019-0273 in its entirety,
through that incorporation, except for any differences identified as
exceptions in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that
are the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does
not mean that operators need comply only with that section. For
example, where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
the EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2019-0273 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2019-0273 will be available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2019-0973 after the FAA final rule is published.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because these airplanes are subject to reduced efficiency of the AoA
protections that may result in iced AoA probes after take-off, with
associated misleading airspeed indication and/or misleading stall
warning. A slow or late positioning of thrust levers into the take-off
position in certain conditions can lead to probes being heated too late
during the take-off run, which increases the risk of icing on probes
after take-off. This condition could result in blocked AoA probes,
which could possibly result in reduced control of the airplane.
Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior
public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated
above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and the FAA did not precede it by notice and opportunity for
public comment. The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data,
views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2019-0973;
Product Identifier 2019-NM-187-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall

regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. The
FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this AD based on those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide.
The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this AD.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 146 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

    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:

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 (AD):

2019-23-17 Dassault Aviation: Amendment 39-19811; Docket No. FAA-
2019-0973; Product Identifier 2019-NM-187-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD becomes effective December 27, 2019.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX and
Model FALCON 2000EX airplanes, certificated in any category, as
identified in European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2019-
0273, dated November 4, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0273'').

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27, Flight
controls.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of iced angle-of-attack (AoA)
probes after take-off, with associated misleading airspeed
indication and/or misleading stall warning. A slow or late
positioning of thrust levers into the take-off position in certain
conditions can lead to probes being heated too late during the take-
off run, which increases the risk of icing on probes after take-off.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which could
result in blocked AoA probes, possibly resulting in reduced control
of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, EASA AD 2019-0273.

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0273

    (1) Where EASA AD 2019-0273 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0273 does not apply
to this AD.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the

                             Pyriproxyfen (129032)
                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                           Date: November 30, 2010

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
      * Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.
      * Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
      * Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.
      * Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used on.
      * Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80% or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases, depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.
      * Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural crop.
      * Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).
What assumptions can I make about the reported data?
      * Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)
      * Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.
      * Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
      * USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service)  -  pesticide usage data from 2001 to 2008.
      * Private pesticide market research  -  pesticide usage data from 2001 to 2008.
      * NPUD 2002 (National Pesticide Use Database) pesticide usage data from the CropLife America Foundation are used only if data are not available from the other sources.
      * California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2000 to 2008.
What are the limitations to the data?
      * Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).
      * Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage.
      * Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the SLUA.
      * Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
      * Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as a personal freedom issue. Quite simply, I firmly believe that the use of such items is my decision, and my decision only. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

to the 2010 sulfur dioxide (SO2) national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS). This action approves Connecticut's
demonstration that the State is meeting its obligations regarding the
transport of SO2 emissions into other states. This action is
being taken under the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on September 7, 2017.

I. Background and Purpose

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    On May 30, 2013, the Connecticut Department of Energy and
Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) submitted a revision to its SIP,
certifying that its SIP meets the requirements of section 110(a)(2) of
the CAA with respect to the 2010 SO2 NAAQS (infrastructure
SIP). On June 3, 2016 (81 FR 35636), EPA took final action on CT DEEP's
certification that its SIP was adequate to meet the program elements
required by section 110(a)(2) of the CAA with respect to the 2010
SO2 NAAQS. However, at that time, EPA did not take action on
CT DEEP's certification that its SIP met the requirements of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), the good neighbor provision.
    On May 8, 2017 (82 FR 21351), EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Connecticut 2010 SO2 NAAQS
infrastructure SIP as it pertains to section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the
CAA. The specific requirements of this infrastructure SIP element and
the rationale for EPA's proposed action on the State's submittal is
explained in the NPR and will not be restated here. No public comments
were received on the NPR.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving the remainder of the May 30, 2013 SIP submission
from Connecticut certifying that the State's current SIP is sufficient
to meet the required infrastructure elements under section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by October 10, 2017. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2016-0063]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under Part 211 of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this provides the public notice that on May 20, 2016, the
Strasburg Railroad Company (SRC) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR 222.21.
FRA assigned the petition docket number FRA-2016-0063.
    Specifically, SRC seeks a waiver from 49 CFR 222.21, When must a
locomotive horn be used? so that the locomotive horn is not sounded
when approaching a public highway-rail grade crossing while passing
livestock near the train if the crossing is observed to be clear and
the crossing protection is activated. SRC's historic, excursion, and
switching operations are conducted on Class 2 main track located in
Amish farmland where horse and mule teams are used for farming and
transportation. SRC's main track has four public highway crossings, all
protected by gates and flashers. All crossings are two lane roads that
are not heavily trafficked by motor vehicles.
    SRC requests this relief to avoid causing incidents and injuries
involving Amish animal teams, equipment, and people as the animals may
be startled by the train whistle or bell. Most of the Amish animals are
accustomed to the steam locomotives and railroad equipment; but animals
are unpredictable and may be spooked by the train, particularly the
sounding of the whistle and bell. SRC has observed incidents with
animal teams because the animals were startled by the whistle and/or
bell of the locomotive, resulting in damage and injury to the animals,
occupants of the carriages, the carriages, and crossing gate
mechanisms.
    Since 1958, it has been common practice for SRC crews to refrain
from blowing the whistle or ringing the bell when they see a team
nearby, including when the train is occupying highway-rail grade
crossings. Determination of the status of the crossing protection,
location of the team, and status of motor vehicles are all considered
by an SRC crew when deciding whether to occupy a crossing without using
the bell or whistle. There have been no incidents at crossings as a
result of not blowing the whistle or ringing the bell.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the Department of Transportation's
Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE., W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is open from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays.
    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 parties
desire 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 and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Web site: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Docket Operations Facility, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., W12-140, Washington, DC
20590.
     Hand Delivery: 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W12-140,
Washington, DC 20590, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,
except Federal holidays.
    Communications received by September 25, 2017 will be considered by
FRA before final action is taken. Comments received after that date
will be considered as far as practicable.
    Anyone can search the electronic form of any written communications
and comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the
individual submitting the comment (or signing the document, if
submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor union, etc.). In
accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the public
to better inform its processes. DOT posts these comments, without edit,
including any personal information the commenter provides, to

About the Emissions Inventory

EPA develops an annual report called the Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas
Emissions and Sinks (Inventory). This report tracks total annual U.S. emissions
and removals by source, economic sector, and greenhouse gas going back to 1990.
EPA uses national energy data, data on national agricultural activities, and
other national statistics to provide a comprehensive accounting of total
greenhouse gas emissions for all man-made sources in the United States. EPA also
collects greenhouse gas emissions data from individual facilities and suppliers
of certain fossil fuels and industrial gases through the Greenhouse Gas Reporting
Program.

The national greenhouse gas inventory is submitted to the United Nations in
accordance with the Framework Convention on
Climate Change .
In preparing the annual emissions inventory report, EPA collaborates with
hundreds of experts representing more than a dozen U.S. government agencies,
academic institutions, industry associations, consultants and environmental
organizations.

Overview of Greenhouse Gases and Sources of
Emissions

Key findings from the 1990-2014 U.S. Inventory include:

In 2014, U.S. greenhouse gas emissions totaled 6,870 million metric tons
  of carbon dioxide equivalents.

U.S. emissions increased by 1.0 percent from 2013 to 2014. Recent trends
  can be attributed to multiple factors driving increased fuel use including
  year-to-year changes in the prevailing weather and an increase in miles
  traveled by on-road vehicles.

Greenhouse gas emissions in 2014 were 9 percent below 2005 levels.

The graphs below provide an overview of greenhouse gas emission in the United
States based on information from the Inventory. Click the links above each chart
to learn more about each of these topics. See our Fast
Facts Fact Sheet (PDF, 3 pp., 7 MB) for an
overview of the GHG emissions data from the report.
