Determination of Regulatory Review Period for Purposes of Patent
Extension; PROLIA

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the
regulatory review period for PROLIA and is publishing this notice of
that determination as required by law. FDA has made the determination
because of the submission of applications to the Director of Patents
and Trademarks, Department of Commerce, for the extension of a patent
which claims that human biological product.

ADDRESSES: Submit electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov.
Submit written petitions along with three copies and written comments
to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beverly Friedman, Office of Regulatory
Policy, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg.
51, rm. 6284, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug
and Patent Term Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide
that a patent may be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as
the patented item (human drug product, animal drug product, medical
device, food additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory
review by FDA before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a
product's regulatory review period forms the basis for determining the
amount of extension an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human biological products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the biological becomes effective and runs until the
approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the initial
submission of an application to market the human biological product and
continues until FDA grants permission to market the biological product.
Although only a portion of a regulatory review period may count toward
the actual amount of extension that the Director of Patents and
Trademarks may award (for example, half the testing phase must be
subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the patent
was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory review
period for a human biological product will include all of the testing
phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C. 156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA recently approved for marketing the human biological product
PROLIA (denosumab). PROLIA is indicated for treatment of postmenopausal
women with osteoporosis at high risk for fracture. Subsequent to this
approval, the Patent and Trademark Office received patent term
restoration applications for PROLIA (U.S. Patent Nos. 6,740,522;
7,097,834; and 7,411,050) from Amgen, Inc., and the Patent and
Trademark Office requested FDA's assistance in determining the patents'
eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated April 27,
2011, FDA advised the Patent and Trademark Office that this human
biological product had undergone a regulatory review period and that
the approval of PROLIA represented the first permitted commercial
marketing or use of the product. Thereafter, the Patent and Trademark
Office requested that FDA determine the product's regulatory review
period.
    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
PROLIA is 3,269 days. Of this time, 2,739 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 530 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective: June 21,
2001. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date the
investigational new drug application became effective was on June 21,
2001.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human biological product under section 351 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262): December 19, 2008. FDA has verified the
applicant's claim that the biologics license application (BLA) for
PROLIA (BLA125320) was submitted on December 19, 2008.
    3. The date the application was approved: June 1, 2010. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that BLA125320 was approved on June 1,
2010.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office applies several statutory limitations in
its calculations of the actual period for patent extension. In its
applications for patent extension, this applicant seeks 1,365 days; 952
days; and 595 days of patent term extension.
    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit to the Division of Dockets Management (see
ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments and ask for a
redetermination by July 6, 2012. Furthermore, any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period
by November 5, 2012. To meet its burden, the petition must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation. (See H. Rept. 857, part
1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42, 1984.) Petitions should be in the
format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) electronic or written comments and written petitions.
It is only necessary to send one set of comments. However, if you
submit a written petition, you must submit three copies of the
petition. Identify comments with the docket numbers found in brackets
in the heading of this document.
    Comments and petitions that have not been made publicly available
on http://www.regulations.gov may be viewed in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011-07-10 for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes.
AD 2011-07-10 required revising the Airworthiness Limitations section
of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness; doing detailed visual
inspections; removing discrepant material; cleaning the surfaces of the
valves, the plug of the sensing port, and the cabin pressure-sensing
port plug; securing the insulation; installing a new safety valve, and
replacing certain cabin pressure-sensing port plugs. This new AD
retains all requirements of AD 2011-07-10, and requires a detailed
visual inspection of both safety valves and the surrounding area for
foreign material, room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone,
contamination, foam on the bulkhead structure, tape or insulation, and
loose material; and corrective actions if necessary. This AD was
prompted by reports of in-flight loss of cabin pressurization that was
attributed to partial blockage of a safety valve cabin pressure-sensing
port in conjunction with a failed safety valve manometric capsule. We
are issuing this AD to detect and correct blockage of a safety valve
cabin pressure-sensing port, which could result in loss of cabin
pressure.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 2, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of February 2,
2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain other publications listed in this AD as of May 5,
2011 (76 FR 17758, March 31, 2011).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2011-07-10, Amendment 39-16647 (76 FR 17758,
March 31, 2011). AD 2011-07-10 applied to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on April 15, 2015 (80 FR 20181) (``the NPRM'').
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2010-06R1, dated August 8, 2013 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model BD-100-
1A10 (Challenger 300) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Investigation of a high altitude loss of cabin pressurization on
a BD-100-1A10 aeroplane determined that it was caused by a partial
blockage of a safety valve cabin pressure-sensing port, in
conjunction with a dormant failure/leakage of the safety valve
manometric capsule. The blockage, caused by accumulation of lint/
dust on the grid of the port plug, did not allow sufficient airflow
through the cabin pressure-sensing port to compensate for the rate
of leakage from the manometric capsule, resulting in the opening of
the safety valve. It was also determined that failure of the
manometric capsule alone would not result in the opening of the
safety valve.
    The original issue of this [Canadian] AD mandated a revision of
the maintenance schedule, the cleaning of the safety valves, the
removal of material from the area surrounding the safety valves and
the modification of the safety valves with a gridless cabin
pressure-sensing port plug.
    Since the original issue of this [Canadian] AD, there have been
two additional reported events of in-flight loss of cabin
pressurization that were attributed to partial blockage of a safety
valve cabin pressure-sensing port in conjunction with a failed
safety valve manometric capsule.
    Bombardier Aerospace has determined that aeroplanes with a
particular interior installation require improved instructions to

clean the safety valves and their surrounding area. In addition,
Aircraft Maintenance Manual tasks have been updated to ensure that
inspection of the safety valves and their surrounding is carried out
after any maintenance action.
    Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate inspection
and cleaning of the safety valves and their surrounding area on the
affected aeroplanes.

You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2015-1199-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Revised Docket Number

    We have changed the docket number specified in the NPRM from
``Docket No. FAA-2015-0827'' to ``Docket No. FAA-2015-1199'' in this
final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD with the change 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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 100-25-21, Revision 02,
dated July 25, 2013. The service information describes procedures for a
detailed visual inspection of both safety valves and the surrounding
area for foreign material, RTV silicone, contamination, foam on the
bulkhead structure, tape or insulation, and loose material, and
applicable corrective actions. 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 67 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2011-07-10, Amendment 39-16647 (76 FR
17758, March 31, 2011), and retained in this AD take about 10 work-
hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour.
Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these figures, the
estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD 2011-07-10 is
$850 per product.
    We also estimate that it will take about 4 work-hours per product
to comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD on U.S. operators to be $22,780, or $340 per product.
    According to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=FAA-2015-1199; 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 this AD, the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information.

Since the pretreatment standards for 40 CFR 423 were promulgated, there have been changes in the Steam Electric Power Generating industry which warrant revision to the applicability section of this regulation. When they were promulgated, refuse derived fuel ( RDF) facilities were not in existence and therefore were not considered under the rule. These facilities generate large quantities of ash with the same and/ or greater pollutant loads than conventional systems presently covered. Office of General Counsel has informed us that Part 423 does not presently apply to RDF facilities as they read the present regulation. Since RDF facilities may be owned by the same municipality that has pretreatment Control Authority, there are internal politics that often prevent self policing. Updating Part 423 so it will apply to these facilities is paramount if POTW pass through and interference is going to protected from these operations.

6. Please provide any information that you have which describes the universe and geographic distribution of affected facilities. Also, please identify relevant EPA and Page 2 of 3 external data sources ( e. g. permit numbers).

In Region 4, we have at least one massive RDF facility that has caused problems for its pretreatment Control Authority with ash interference, to the point monitoring samples can not be taken and the flow monitor is rendered inoperable. EPA issues the NPDES permit for Miami Dade County ( FL0024805). The name of the RDF facility they permit is Dade County Resources Recovery. It has four boilers which power two turbines used to generate electricity. The boilers are fueled by a combination of yard waste and solid waste that has been separated from other recyclable components. The facility has the largest capacity of its type in the world ( according to the contract operators, Montenay Power Corp.), processing more than 1.2 million tons of waste annually, about 4,200 tons per day. The power facility generates up to 76 Megawatts, enough to power itself and 45,000 homes.

7. Do you have suggestions on how to address the issue/ industry which you have identified? Do you think an effluent guidelines rulemaking is warranted?

Revise the applicability section of Part 423 to include operations which generate electricity from processes using refuse derived fuel.

8. Have EPA or the States dealt with this issue/ industry in the past ( other than through an effluent guidelines)? If so, do you know what prompted that activity and can you describe the results?

Not to my knowledge. I know that Part 423 has been on the Effluent Guidelines Development Plan list for regulations subject to revision.

9. Potential Partners/ Leveraging Opportunities. Are there others in EPA or outside organizations ( States, trade organizations, non profits, etc.) that may have an interest in joining an effort to address this problem/ industry?

EPA Regional Pretreatment Coordinators Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution Control Administrators ( ASIWPCA)

10. Do you want to be involved or be kept informed on how we are addressing the issue/ industry which you have identified?

You can keep me informed.

11. Do you know of any experts or other people knowledgeable on this issue/ industry that we should contact? ( If so please provide names, contact information, and area of knowledge/ expertise). Page 3 of 3 I know the pretreatment coordinator for Miami Dade, Mr. Fernando Bestard ( 305 372 6510). He is familiar with the Dade Co. Resources Recovery facility and the history of problems it has caused. The pretreatment inspector for that facility, whom he supervises, is Mr. Erlando Javellana ( 305 372 6530).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On April 15, 2015, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted a draft
SIP revision to EPA for parallel processing seeking to include the
specific sections of 401 Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR)
52.020--Title V permits, 401 KAR 52:030--Federally-enforceable permits
for non-major sources, 401 KAR 52:040--State-Origin Permits, and 401
KAR 52:070--Registration of designated sources identified on pages 8
and 9 of its April 15, 2015 submittal into the SIP to meet the
emissions statements requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B).\1\ In a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) published on September 22, 2015,
EPA preliminarily determined that the specific regulatory sections
identified on pages 8 and 9 of the draft SIP submission, collectively,
meet the emissions statements requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B)
because they require sources that emit 25 tons per year or more of
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or nitrogen oxides (NOX)
within the Kentucky portion of the Area to submit annual certified
statements showing actual VOC and NOX emissions. The
specific regulatory sections that EPA is approving into the SIP through
today's action are identified in Section II, below. Although the
Commonwealth identified portions of 401 KAR 52:030 for inclusion in the
SIP, EPA notes that the Agency approved those sections into Kentucky's
SIP on September 6, 2006. See 71 FR 52460.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires each state with
ozone nonattainment areas to submit a SIP revision requiring annual
emissions statements to be submitted to the state by the owner or
operator of each NOX or VOC stationary source located
within a nonattainment area showing the actual emissions of
NOX and VOC from that source. The first statement is due
three years from the area's nonattainment designation, and
subsequent statements are due at least annually thereafter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The details of Kentucky's submittal and the rationale for EPA's
actions are explained in the NPR. Comments on the proposed rulemaking
were due on or before October 22, 2015. No comments were received. On
November 18, 2015, Kentucky submitted a final SIP revision that did not
contain any substantive changes regarding emissions statements from the
draft version submitted on April 15, 2015. EPA is now taking final
action to approve the November 18, 2015, SIP revision as meeting the
requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporate by reference of 401 KAR
52.020--Title V permits, Section 22 entitled ``Annual Emissions
Certification'', first sentence only and Section 23 entitled
``Certification by Responsible Official'', introductory paragraph text
and subsection (4) only; 401 KAR 52:040--State-Origin Permits, Section
3 entitled ``General Provisions'', subsection (2) introductory text,
subsection (2)(c), and subsection (3) only; Section 20 entitled
``Annual Emissions Certification for Specified Sources'', subsection
(1) only; and Section 21 entitled ``Certification by Responsible
Official'', introductory text and subsection (4) only; and 401 KAR
52:070--Registration of designated sources, Section 3 entitled
``General Provisions'', subsection (2) introductory text, subsection
(2)(a)(1), and subsection (2)(a)(2) first sentence only. EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these documents generally available
electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the
Region 4 EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for
more information).

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the SIP revision submitted by Kentucky on November
18, 2015, as meeting the section 182(a)(3)(B) emissions statements
requirement for the Kentucky portion of the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN Area,
and EPA is incorporating the regulatory text identified in Section II,
above, into Kentucky's SIP. EPA has concluded that the Commonwealth's
submission meets the requirements of the CAA.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 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 CAA. 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 CAA; 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 as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
    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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by March 28, 2016. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 11 individuals who have requested renewal of
their exemptions in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 11 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

Lee A. Burke (WI)
Barton C. Caldara (WI)
Allan Darley (UT)
Richard Hailey, Jr. (DC)

Robert V. Hodges (IL)
George R. Knavel (UT)
John R. Knott, III (MD)
Timothy S. Miller (AZ)
Edward D. Pickle (GA)
Robert L. Thies (IN)
James T. Wortham, Jr. (GA)

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual has a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10),
and (b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is
otherwise physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each
individual provides a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's
report to the medical examiner at the time of the annual medical
examination; and (3) that each individual provide a copy of the annual
medical certification to the employer for retention in the driver's
qualification file and retains a copy of the certification on his/her
person while driving for presentation to a duly authorized Federal,
State, or local enforcement official. Each exemption will be valid for
two years unless rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be
rescinded if: (1) The person fails to comply with the terms and
conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has resulted in a lower
level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would not be consistent with the goals
and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 11 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (68 FR 74699; 69 FR 10503; 69 FR 12536; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR
72689; 71 FR 6829; 72 FR 39879; 72 FR 52419; 72 FR 62897; 73 FR 8392;
74 FR 64124; 75 FR 8184; 77 FR 10604; 77 FR 7233). Each of these 11
applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and has submitted
evidence showing that the vision in the better eye continues to meet
the requirement specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and that the vision
impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each record of safety
while driving with the respective vision deficiencies over the past two
years indicates each applicant continues to meet the vision exemption
requirements.
    These factors provide an adequate basis for predicting each
driver's ability to continue to drive safely in interstate commerce.
Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the exemption for each
renewal applicant for a period of two years is likely to achieve a
level of safety equal to that existing without the exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by March 27, 2014.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 11 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was made on the merits of each
case and made only after careful consideration of the comments received
to its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The substance of these special conditions
has been subject to the public comment process in several prior
instances with no substantive comments received. The FAA therefore
finds that good cause exists for making these special conditions
effective upon publication in the Federal Register.

Comments Invited

    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 by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.

Background

    On June 13, 2012, Bombardier Inc. applied for an amended type
certificate for their new Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes.
These airplanes are derivatives of the Model BD-700 series of
airplanes, and are marketed as the Bombardier Global 7000 and Global
8000, respectively. These airplanes are ultra-long-range, executive-
interior business jets.
    The Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes have a maximum
certified passenger capacity of 19, and include new high-speed
transonic wings with improved aerodynamic efficiency and a pressurized
cabin for luxury interiors.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Bombardier Inc. must show that the Model BD-700-2A12 and
BD-700-2A13 airplanes meet the applicable provisions of part 25 as
amended by Amendments 25-1 through 25-137.
    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 BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13
airplanes 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 novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these 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 BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes 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.
    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.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes will incorporate
the following novel or unusual design feature: A digital-systems
network architecture composed of several connected networks. This
network architecture and network configuration will have the capability
to allow access to or by external network sources, and may be used for
or interfaced with a diverse set of functions, including:
     Flight-safety-related control, communication, and
navigation systems (airplane-control domain);
     Operator business and administrative support (operator-
information domain); and
     Passenger information and entertainment systems
(passenger-entertainment domain).

Discussion

    The Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes' digital-systems
network architecture is novel or unusual for commercial transport
airplanes as it allows connection to airplane electronic systems and
networks, and access from sources external to the airplane (e.g.,
operator networks, wireless devices, Internet connectivity, service-
provider satellite communications, electronic flight bags, etc.) to the
previously isolated airplane electronic assets. Airplane electronic
assets include electronic equipment and systems, instruments, networks,
servers, software and electronic components, field-loadable software
and hardware applications, databases, etc. This proposed design may
result in network security vulnerabilities from intentional or
unintentional corruption of data and systems required for the safety,
operation, and maintenance of the airplane.
    The existing regulations and guidance material did not anticipate
these types of digital-system network architectures, nor access to
airplane systems. Furthermore, 14 CFR part 25 regulations, and current
system-safety assessment policy and techniques, do not address
potential security vulnerabilities by unauthorized access to airplane
data busses and servers. Therefore, these special conditions are issued
to ensure that the security, integrity, and availability of airplane
systems are not compromised by certain wired or wireless electronic
connections between airplane data busses and networks.
    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.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Model BD-700-2A12 and BD-700-2A13 airplanes. Should Bombardier Inc.
apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to include
another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design feature,
these special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on one model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.
    The substance of these special conditions has been subjected to the
notice and comment period in several prior instances and has been
derived without substantive change from those previously issued. It is
unlikely that prior public comment would result in a significant change
from the substance contained herein. Therefore, the FAA has determined
that prior public notice and comment are unnecessary and impracticable,
and good cause exists for adopting these special conditions upon
issuance. The FAA is requesting comments to allow interested persons to
submit views that may not have been submitted in response to the prior
opportunities for comment described above.

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 electronic system-security protection
from unauthorized external access on Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-2A12
and BD-700-2A13 airplanes.
    1. The applicant must ensure that the airplane electronic systems
are protected from access by unauthorized sources external to the
airplane, including those possibly caused by maintenance activity.
    2. The applicant must ensure that electronic system-security
threats are identified and assessed, and that effective electronic
system-security protection strategies are implemented to protect the
airplane from all adverse impacts on safety, functionality, and
continued airworthiness.
    3. The applicant must establish appropriate procedures to allow the
operator to ensure that continued airworthiness of the airplane is
maintained, including all post-type-certification modifications that
may have an impact on the approved electronic system-security
safeguards.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31340; Amdt. No. 3930]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective November 13, 2020. The compliance date
for each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of November 13, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
    For information on the availability of this material at NARA, email

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Thomas J. Nichols, Flight Procedures
and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Registry Bldg 29 Room 104, Oklahoma
City, OK 73169. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form documents is
unnecessary.
    This amendment provides the affected CFR sections, and specifies
the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their applicable effective
dates. This

amendment also identifies the airport and its location, the procedure
and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on the
criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument
Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific
conditions existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in
this rule have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an
emergency action of immediate flight safety relating directly to
published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
