SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Background

    Under section 409I of the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. 284m), the Secretary
of Health and Human Services (the Secretary), acting through the
Director of NIH, in consultation with FDA and experts in pediatric
research, must develop, prioritize, and publish a list of priority
needs in pediatric therapeutics, including drugs and indications that
require study.\1\ For drugs and indications on this list, FDA, acting
in consultation with NIH, is authorized to issue a written request,
under the Best Pharmaceuticals for Children Act, to holders of a new
drug application or an abbreviated new drug application for a drug for
which pediatric studies are needed, to provide safety and efficacy
information for pediatric labeling. If the applicants or application
holders receiving the written request decline to conduct the studies,
or if FDA does not receive a response to the written request within 30
days of the date the written request was issued, the Secretary, acting
through the Director of NIH and in consultation with FDA, must publish
a request for proposals to conduct the pediatric studies described in
the written request and award funds to an entity with appropriate
expertise for the conduct of the pediatric studies described in the
written request. Upon completion of the pediatric studies, a study
report that includes all data generated in connection with the studies
must be submitted to FDA and

NIH and placed in a public docket assigned by FDA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Prior to the 2007 reauthorization of the Best
Pharmaceuticals for Children Act (Pub. L. 107-109), the priority
list included specific drugs instead of therapeutic areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Neonates are at risk for serious bacterial infections including
meningitis, bacteremia, sepsis, and urinary tract infections. Most of
these children are admitted to a hospital, where they receive
antibiotics. Early onset of bacterial infection (less than 7 days of
life) reflects vertical transmission, usually caused by group B
streptococci (GBS), Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogenes, or
enterococcus species, and is a significant cause of illness and death
among low birth weight infants. Late onset infections suggest
nosocomial, community-acquired infections or late onset GBS; these may
be caused by gram-negative organisms as well as staphylococcal species.
The first line of antibiotic therapy is ampicillin in combination with
gentamicin or a third-generation cephalosporin.
    In the Federal Register of February 13, 2004 (71 FR 23931), NIH
published a notice announcing the addition of several drugs, including
ampicillin, to the priority list of drugs most in need of study for use
by children to ensure the drugs' safety and efficacy. A written request
for pediatric studies of ampicillin was issued on August 5, 2005, to
the holders of applications for ampicillin. FDA did not receive a
response to the written request. Accordingly, NIH issued a request for
proposals to conduct the pediatric studies described in the written
request in 2006, and awarded funds to Pediatric Trials Network in
December 2011 to complete the studies described in the written request.
Upon completion of the pediatric studies, a report of the pediatric
studies of ampicillin was submitted to NIH and FDA. As required under
section 409I of the PHS Act, FDA opened a public docket and NIH placed
in the docket the report of pediatric studies of ampicillin that was
submitted to NIH and FDA. The report includes all data generated in
connection with the study, including the written request.

II. Availability of Report for Public Comment

    FDA is announcing the 30-day open public comment period for the
report of the pediatric studies of ampicillin that were conducted in
accordance with section 409I of the PHS Act and submitted to NIH and
FDA. We invite interested parties to review the Duke Clinical Research
Institute report, which was posted to the docket on December 15, 2015,
and submit comments to the docket (see ADDRESSES).

    Dated: April 19, 2017.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A318-112 airplanes, A319-111, -112, -115, -132, and -133
airplanes, A320-214, -232, and -233 airplanes, and A321-211, -212, -
213, -231, and -232 airplanes. This AD was prompted by a quality
control review on the final assembly line, which determined that
aluminum alloy with inadequate heat treatment had been delivered and
used on several structural parts. This AD requires a one-time eddy
current conductivity measurement of certain cabin, cargo compartment,
and frame structural parts to determine if aluminum alloy with
inadequate heat treatment was used, and replacement if necessary. We
are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 17, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of April 17,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Airbus Model A318-
112 airplanes, A319-111, -112, -115, -132, and -133 airplanes, A320-
214, -232, and -233 airplanes, and A321-211, -212, -213, -231, and -232
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 11, 2016
(81 FR 29209). The NPRM was prompted by a quality control review on the
final assembly line, which determined that aluminum alloy with
inadequate heat treatment had been delivered and used on several
structural parts. The NPRM proposed to require a one-time eddy current
conductivity measurement of certain cabin, cargo compartment, and frame
structural parts to determine if aluminum alloy with inadequate heat
treatment was used, and replacement if necessary. We are issuing this
AD to detect and replace structural parts made of aluminum alloy with
inadequate heat treatment. This condition could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2015-0219, dated November 3, 2015 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A318-112 airplanes, A319-111, -112, -115, -132, and -133 airplanes,
A320-214, -232, and -233 airplanes, and A321-211, -212, -213, -231, and
-232 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Following an Airbus quality control review on the final assembly
line, it was discovered that aluminum alloy with inadequate heat
treatment were delivered by a supplier for several structural parts.
The results of the investigations highlighted that 1% of the stock
could be impacted by this wrong material.
    Structural investigations demonstrated the capability to sustain
the static limits loads, and sufficient fatigue life up to a certain
inspection threshold.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce the
aeroplane structural integrity following fatigue load.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued
Service Bulletin (SB) A320-53-1292, SB A320-53-1293, and SB A320-53-
1294 to provide inspection instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time Special Detailed Inspection (SDI) [i.e., eddy current
conductivity measurement] of certain cabin, cargo compartment and
frame parts [for material identification] and, depending on
findings, replacement with serviceable parts.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
6431.

Comments

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

Request To Include the Correction in the Technical Adaptation to
Certain Service Information

    Virgin America asked that we include the correction in Airbus
Technical Adaptation (TA) 80095365/011/2016, Issue 1, dated December 1,
2016, to Figure A-GVAAA and Figure A-GRAAA of Airbus Service Bulletin
A320-53-1293, dated July 30, 2015, in this AD. Virgin America stated
that the parts shown in Figure A-GVAAA and Figure A-GRAAA and
highlighted for inspection are the four hinge brackets identified as
having part number (P/N) ``D4918518320201, A-profile.'' However, the
correct identification is P/N ``D4918518320200, A-profile.'' Virgin
America noted that Airbus issued TA 80095365/011/2016, Issue 1, to
update Figure A-GVAAA and Figure A-GRAAA of Airbus Service Bulletin
A320-53-1293, dated July 30, 2015, to identify the correct part number.
Virgin America also stated that the TA specified that Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-53-1293 is currently under revision and the correction
will be included when the revision is issued.
    We agree with the commenter's request to include the specified
correction. We have added a new paragraph (h) to this AD to provide an
exception to Figure A-GVAAA of Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1293,
dated July 30, 2015, which is needed for compliance with paragraph (g)
of this AD. However, Figure A-GRAAA, ``Reporting Sheet,'' of Airbus
Service Bulletin A320-53-1293, dated July 30, 2015, is not needed for
compliance with this AD. We have added a note to paragraph (h) of this
AD to provide the information in Airbus Technical Adaptation (TA)
80095365/011/2016, Issue 1, dated December 1, 2016, which specifies the
corrected information for Figure A-GVAAA and Figure A-GRAAA of Airbus
Service Bulletin A320-53-1293, dated July 30, 2015. We have also added
paragraph (j) to clarify that reporting is not required by this AD;
however, reporting is recommended for research and tracking. We have
redesignated subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Conclusion

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

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed the following service information:
     Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1292, dated July 23, 2015;
including Appendixes 01 and 02, dated July 23, 2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1293, dated July 30, 2015;
including Appendixes 01 and 02, dated July 30, 2015.
     Airbus Service Bulletin A320-53-1294, dated July 23, 2015;
including Appendixes 01 and 02, dated July 23, 2015.
    The service information describes procedures for a one-time eddy
current conductivity measurement of certain cabin, cargo compartment,
and frame structural parts to determine if aluminum alloy with
inadequate heat treatment was used, and replacement of any affected
part with a serviceable part. These documents are distinct since they

apply to different parts on the airplane. 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 46 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it takes about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the 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 $23,460, or $510 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that enables us to provide cost
estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
    According to the manufacturer, some 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 available 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because the event would occur before the
rulemaking process would be completed. Because of the dangers posed by
the pyrotechnics used in these fireworks displays, the safety zones are
necessary to provide for the safety of event participants, spectators,
spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event area.
    For the same reasons, the Coast Guard also finds under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) that good cause exists for making this rule effective less
than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Any delay in
the effective date of this rule would expose members of the public to
the dangers posed by the pyrotechnics used in the fireworks display.

Background and Purpose

    Hornblower Cruises will sponsor a Fleet Week fireworks display on
October 9 and 10, 2009 on the navigable waters of San Francisco Bay,
CA. The fireworks displays are meant for entertainment purposes. This
safety zone establishes temporary restricted areas on the waters
surrounding the fireworks launch sites during loading of the
pyrotechnics and during the fireworks displays. These restricted areas
around the launch sites are necessary to protect spectators, vessels,
and other property from the hazards associated with the pyrotechnics on
the fireworks barges. The Coast Guard has granted the event sponsor a
marine event permit for the fireworks displays.

Discussion of Rule

    During the setup of the fireworks and until the start of the
fireworks displays, the temporary safety zone will be enforced within a
radius of 100 feet around the fireworks sites. From 9:30 p.m. until
9:50 p.m., the temporary safety zone will be enforced within a radius
of 1,000 feet around the fireworks launch sites.
    The effect of the temporary safety zones will be to restrict
navigation in the vicinity of the fireworks sites while the fireworks
are set up, and until the conclusion of the scheduled displays. Except
for persons or vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander,
no person or vessel may enter or remain in the restricted area. These
regulations are needed to keep spectators and vessels a safe distance
away from the fireworks barges to ensure the safety of participants,
spectators, and transiting vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs and benefits under section
6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under that Order.
    Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by
the safety zones, the effect of this rule will not be significant
because of the small size and short duration of the zone. Additionally,
local waterway users will be able to pass safely around the zone, and
will be notified via public Broadcast Notice to Mariners to ensure the
zone will result in minimum impact.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small entities''
comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations that are
independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their fields,
and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than 50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    This rule may affect the following entitites, some of which are
small entities: The owners and operators of pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities and sightseeing. This rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
for several reasons: (1) Vessel traffic can pass safely around the
area; (2) vessels engaged in recreational activities and

sightseeing have ample space outside of the affected portion of the
areas of San Francisco, CA to engage in these activities; (3) this rule
will encompass only a small portion of the waterway for a limited
period of time; and (4) the maritime public will be advised in advance
of this safety zone via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations, to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100,000,000 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not effect a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 0023.1 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually
or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment.
This rule is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction because the rule establishes a safety zone.
    An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

[Docket No. PHMSA-2012-0280; Notice No. 12-11]

Safety Advisory Notice: Safety Advisory for Shippers and Carriers
of Air Bags

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Safety Advisory Notice.

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

SUMMARY: PHMSA has been alerted by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) that counterfeit air bags have been sold as
replacement parts to consumers and repair professionals. These
counterfeit products may contain unapproved explosives and thus pose
additional transportation risks when compared to air bags manufactured
through legitimate means. Therefore, PHMSA is issuing this Safety
Advisory Notice to (1) notify shippers and carriers of problems
involving counterfeit air bags; (2) provide guidance on the proper
classification of air bags; (3) specify provisions applicable to
devices containing unapproved explosives; and (4) provide the next
steps that PHMSA will take to address this problem. Consumers or repair
professionals who suspect they have a counterfeit air bag should
contact a call center established by their auto manufacturer. A list of
these call centers and other additional information, including the list
of vehicles that may contain counterfeit air bags, can be found at
www.SaferCar.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Field Operations Division, Office of
Hazardous Materials Safety, (202) 366-

4700, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    PHMSA was recently advised by NHTSA that consumers and repair
professionals may face a potential safety risk involving the sale of
counterfeit air bags for use as replacement parts. Some of these
devices look nearly identical to legitimate products, including the
branding of certain major automakers. While NHTSA is not aware of any
fatalities or injuries that have resulted from counterfeit equipment,
their testing has shown malfunctioning ranging from non-deployment of
the air bag to the expulsion of metal shrapnel during deployment. NHTSA
estimates this problem affects a minute percent of vehicles in the U.S.
vehicle fleet. NHTSA described the risk in a press release as ``only
vehicles which have had an air bag replaced within the past three years
by a repair shop that is not part of a new car dealership may be at
risk.'' NHTSA's press release is available at the following URL: http:/
/www.nhtsa.gov/About+NHTSA/Press+Releases/2012/
Safety+Advisory:+NHTSA+Alerting+Consumers+to+Dangers+of+Counterfeit+Air+
Bags.

II. Current Regulatory Requirements

    Many air bags incorporate a pyrotechnic device, known as an
initiator or electric match, consisting of an electrical conductor
cocooned in combustible material. A current pulse heats up the
conductor, which in turn ignites the combustible material and the
reaction causes gases that fill the air bag. Air bags that deploy a
pyrotechnic device meet the definition of an explosive for which PHMSA
has regulatory authority. These air bags must be approved by PHMSA
before the air bag is authorized for transportation in commerce. An air
bag without an approval, including a counterfeit air bag, is considered
a forbidden explosive as specified in Sec.  173.54(a) of the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) and may not be
offered for transportation or transported in commerce.
    The classification and packing group requirements contained in the
HMR provide for the safe transportation of properly manufactured and
approved air bag products. In addition to classification by the
shipper, each air bag is required to acquire approval by the Associate
Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety (Sec.  173.166(b)). This
approval is a mechanism of ensuring that these products, which contain
pyrotechnic initiators, meet the appropriate safety standards.
    An approved airbag may be shipped under the description ``UN3268,
Air bag inflators, or Air bag modules, or Seat-belt pretensioners, 9,
PGIII.'' The air bag must be in rigid, outer packaging that meets the
general packaging requirements of part 173, packaging specification
requirements of part 178, and is designed and constructed to prevent
movement of the articles and inadvertent operation. Authorized
packagings are as follows: 1A2, 1B2, 1G or 1H2 drums; 3A2 or 3H2
jerricans; and 4C1, 4C2, 4D, 4F, 4G or 4H2 boxes. Shipments of Class 9
air bags are required to display a Class 9 label, according to Sec.
173.166(f). In addition, as stated in Sec.  173.166(c), when offered
for transportation, shipping papers accompanying an air bag must
contain the EX number or product code for each approved device.

III. PHMSA Guidance for Unapproved Explosives

    PHMSA recognizes the increased transportation hazards presented by
the shipping of suspected counterfeit devices and potentially
unapproved explosives. Suspected counterfeit air bags are subject to
approval by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety
as explosive devices, using the classification criteria in Sec.
173.56. In accordance with Sec.  173.54(a) a forbidden explosive is an
explosive that has not been approved as specified in Sec.  173.56.
Therefore, per Sec.  173.21(b), the offering for transportation or
transportation of an unapproved explosive is forbidden by the HMR.
    Information regarding training as well as guidance documents
regarding the requirements of the HMR can be found on PHMSA's Hazardous
Materials Safety Web site at http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat. The HMR
are also accessible through our Web site, and answers to specific
questions regarding the HMR may be obtained from the Hazardous
Materials Information Center at 1-800-467-4922 (in Washington, DC, call
202-366-4488).

IV. Next Steps

    PHMSA and NHTSA are continuing to work with our partners at the
U.S. Customs and Border Protection's Commercial Targeting and Analysis
Center to identify and target potential manufacturers and importers of
these unapproved devices in order to prevent the entry of unsafe
products into the U.S. PHMSA continues to work with the regulated
community to assess and monitor concerns related to the reverse
logistics of these devices. In an effort to further the investigation
on the sale of counterfeit air bags, if a shipper or carrier believes
they are in possession of an unapproved device, please contact the
Hazardous Materials Information Center at 1-800-467-4922 (in
Washington, DC, call<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2019-06, dated February
18, 2019 (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for
certain De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited Model DHC-8-401 and -
402 airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2019-0675.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model DHC-8-401 and -402 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 9, 2019 (84 FR 47170). The NPRM was
prompted by a report that certain fuselages were delivered with non-
conforming keel tension fittings and stringer end fittings. The NPRM
proposed to require a detailed visual inspection of stringer end
fittings and keel fittings for loose or working fasteners, signs of
wear, and corrosion, and repair if necessary; and a general visual
inspection of the keel tension fitting and stringer end fittings, as
applicable, and repairs and replacement of the keel and stringer end
fittings if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address non-
conforming keel tension fittings and stringer end fittings, which could
lead to premature cracking and corrosion in several locations and
compromise the structural integrity of the fuselage joints. See the
MCAI for additional background information.

Comments

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

Request To Update the Design Approval Holder (DAH) for the Affected
Airplanes

    Horizon Air requested that the FAA update the DAH for the affected
airplanes. Horizon Air pointed out that De Havilland Aircraft of Canada
Limited is now the DAH for the Model DHC-8-401 and -402 airplanes.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter for the reasons provided and has
updated this final rule accordingly.

Request To Include Revised Service Information and Credit for Previous
Revision

    Horizon Air requested that the FAA update the final rule to include
revised service information. Horizon Air mentioned that De Havilland
Aircraft of Canada Limited has issued Service Bulletin 84-53-75,
Revision A, dated August 2, 2019. Horizon Air also requested that the
FAA give credit for accomplishment of the required actions prior to the
effective date of this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-53-75,
dated August 29, 2018.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter for the reasons provided and has
updated this final rule to refer to De Havilland Aircraft of Canada
Limited Service Bulletin 84-53-75, Revision A, dated August 2, 2019.
The FAA has determined that no additional work is

required for airplanes on which the actions specified in Bombardier
Service Bulletin 84-53-75, dated August 29, 2018, have already been
done. The FAA has added paragraph (k) to this AD to provide credit for
accomplishment of the required actions prior to the effective date of
this AD using Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-53-75, dated August 29,
2018.

Conclusion

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

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

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:

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a report that certain fuselages were
delivered with non-conforming keel tension fittings and stringer end
fittings. The FAA is issuing this AD to address non-conforming keel
tension fittings and stringer end fittings which could lead to
premature cracking and corrosion in several locations and compromise
the structural integrity of the fuselage joints.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Detailed Visual Inspection of the Stringer End Fittings and Keel
Fittings and Repair

    Within 8,000 flight hours or 5 years after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs first: Do a detailed visual inspection of
the stringer end fittings and keel fittings at fuselage stations
X373.15 and X428.50 for loose and working fasteners, signs of wear,
