NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
COTP Captain of the Port

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this final rule after publication of
NPRM USCG-2015-0563 (80 FR 42072; Jul. 16, 2015) which received no
comments.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of this safety zone is to protect mariners and
spectators from the hazards associated with the fireworks display, such
as accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous projectiles, and
falling hot embers or other debris.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Captain of the Port, Delaware Bay, is establishing a safety
zone on specified waters that will encompass all waters of Indian River
Bay, within a 200 foot radius of the fireworks barge in approximate
position 38-36.58 N., 075-09.00 W., adjacent to Millsboro, Delaware.
The safety zone will be effective from 8:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on
August 22 and September 26, 2015, unless cancelled earlier by the
Captain of the Port. Should inclement weather require cancellation of
the fireworks display on the above scheduled dates, the safety zone
will be effective from 8:45 p.m. to 10:15 p.m. on August 23 and
September 27, 2015, respectively.
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Delaware Bay,
or his designated representative. The Captain of the Port, Delaware
Bay, or his representative may be contacted via VHF channel 16 or at
215-271-4807.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. Although this regulation
will restrict access to the regulated area, the effect of this rule
will not be significant because: (i) The Coast Guard will make
extensive notification of the Safety Zone to the maritime public via
maritime advisories so mariners can alter their plans accordingly; (ii)
vessels may still be permitted to transit through the safety zone with
the permission of the Captain of the Port on a case-by-case basis; and
(iii) the size and duration of the zone are relatively limited in
scope.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule would affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: The owners or

operators of vessels intending to anchor or transit along Indian River
Bay, adjacent to Millsboro, Delaware, on August 22 and September 26,
2015, from 8:45 p.m. until 10:15 p.m., unless cancelled earlier by the
Captain of the Port.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reason: vessel
traffic will be allowed to pass through the zone with permission of the
Coast Guard Captain of the Port, Delaware Bay, or his designated
representative and the safety zone is limited in size and duration. The
Coast Guard will issue maritime advisories widely available to users of
Indian River Bay.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    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.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. 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 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in
this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 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
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves
implementation of regulations within 33 CFR part 165, applicable to
safety zones on the navigable waterways. This zone will temporarily
restrict vessel traffic from anchoring or transiting a portion of
Indian River Bay near Millsboro, Delaware, in order to protect the
safety of life and property on the waters while a fireworks display is
conducted. This rule is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. A
preliminary environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and 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 an NPRM with respect to this rule
because publishing an NPRM would be impracticable and contrary to the
public interest. Because of the emergency nature of the incident that
created the need for this safety zone, there is insufficient time for
the Coast Guard to seek public comments. Publishing an NPRM and
delaying the effective date of this rule to await public comments would
inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to fulfill its statutory missions to
protect ports, waterways, and the maritime public.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, delaying the effective date of this rule would
be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this temporary rule is 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46
U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1,
6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to define regulatory safety
zones.
    On September 15, 2014 the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound
was contacted by personnel from Connecticut Department of Energy and
Environmental Response (CT DEEP). The CT DEEP personnel were overseeing
an environmental response at English Station, a decommissioned
electrical power plant located in New Haven, CT. While on site, the CT
DEEP personnel discovered a storm drain on the property that was
contaminated with oil. The English Station site is contaminated with
Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PBC) which may have contaminated the
petroleum products. After Coast Guard personnel examined the site it
was determined by the COTP, Sector Long Island Sound, that Coast Guard
emergency response was necessary to protect the public and environment
from the imminent and substantial threat of oil discharge from the main
building and potential hazardous substance release.
    On September 24, 2014 the U.S. Coast Guard Sector Long Island Sound
deployed boom surrounding the English Station site to contain any oil
discharges and hazardous substances releases into the Mill River. The
COTP has determined that a safety zone is necessary to protect the
public from the safety hazards created by this emergency and preserve
the function of the boom deployed around this site.

C. Discussion of the Temporary Final Rule

    For the reasons discussed above, the COTP is establishing a
temporary safety zone on the Mill River in the vicinity of English
Station in New Haven, CT. This safety zone will be bound inside of an
area that starts at a point on land at position 41[deg]18'30.46'' N,
072[deg]54'22.80'' W and then south along the shoreline to a point on
land at position 41[deg]18'20.21'' N, 072[deg]54'22.14'' W and then
west along the shoreline to a point on land at position
41[deg]18'21.08'' N, 072[deg]54'26.84'' W and then north along the
shoreline to a point on land at position 41[deg]18'30.12'' N,
072[deg]54'27.59'' W and then east across land back to point of origin.
Containment boom used in this emergency environmental response will
mark the bounds of this safety zone. The containment boom is anchored
onsite and marked with amber flashing lights for nighttime visibility.
    No vessel may enter, transit, moor, or anchor within safety zone
during the period of enforcement unless authorized by the COTP or
designated representative.
    The COTP will cause public notifications to be made by all
appropriate means including but not limited to Broadcast Notice to
Mariners.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The Coast Guard determined that this rule is not a significant
regulatory action for the following reasons: The safety zone will be of
relatively short in duration and covers only a small portion of the
navigable waterways. Furthermore, vessels may transit the navigable
waterway outside of the safety zone. Moreover, vessels desiring entry
into the safety zone may be authorized to do so by the COTP or
designated representative. Advanced public notifications will also be
made to the local maritime community by Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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 will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: owners and operators of vessels intending to transit or
anchor in the Mill River in the vicinity of English Station. The
temporary safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for all the reasons discussed in
the REGULATORY PLANNING AND REVIEW section above.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity

and that this rule would have a significant economic impact on it,
please submit a comment (see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it
qualifies and how and to what degree this rule would economically
affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    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.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INTFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

 7. 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 (adjusted for
inflation) 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.

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. 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.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    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.

11. 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 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 determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the establishment of a safety zone.
This rule is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph
34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An environmental
analysis checklist supporting this determination and a Categorical
Exclusion Determination will be available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

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

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain EMBRAER Model EMB-135 airplanes; and Model EMB-145, -145ER, -
145MR, -145LR, -145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes. This AD requires
inspections to detect discrepancies of the components of the elevator
control system, repetitive movements of the control column to observe
the normal response of the elevators, repetitive inspections to detect
discrepancies of the skin of the elevators, and applicable related
investigative actions and corrective actions. This AD also provides for
optional terminating actions for the inspections and measurements. This
AD results from a report indicating that a Model EMB-145 airplane did
not rotate in response to the command from the yoke during take-off,
which resulted in a rejected take-off. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct discrepancies of the elevator control system, which could
result in reduced control of the elevators and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective February 14, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 14,
2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On December 13, 2005, we issued AD 2005-26-15, amendment 39-14436
(70 FR 77303, December 30, 2005). That AD applies to certain EMBRAER
Model EMB-135 airplanes; and Model EMB-145, -145ER, -145MR, -145LR, -
145XR, -145MP, and -145EP airplanes. That AD requires performing
repetitive inspections for cracks, ruptures, or bends in certain
components of the elevator control system; replacing discrepant
components; and, for certain airplanes, installing a new spring
cartridge and implementing new logic for the electromechanical gust
lock system. That AD also requires eventual modification of the
elevator gust lock system to replace the mechanical system with an
electromechanical system, which will terminate the repetitive
inspections. That AD resulted from reports that cracks have been found
in certain components of the elevator control system in the horizontal
stabilizer area of several airplanes equipped with a mechanical gust
lock system. These cracks have been attributed to damage from strong
wind gusts on the ground. The actions specified in that AD are intended
to prevent discrepancies in the elevator control system, which could
result in reduced control of the elevator and consequent reduced
controllability of the airplane.
    Since we issued that AD, we received a report indicating that an
EMBRAER Model EMB-145 airplane did not rotate in response to the
command from the yoke as expected during take-off, and the flightcrew
had to perform a rejected take-off. The elevator control system did not
respond to elevator inputs from the flightcrew. Investigation revealed
that both elevator control rods were broken, and skin damage was found
to the elevator control surface. Preliminary investigation reports
reveal that the control rods broke under compression load. The reports
also reveal that strong, windy conditions prevailed before the
incident. The airplane's mechanical elevator gust lock system had not
yet been modified into an electromechanical elevator gust lock

system as required in AD 2005-26-15. Discrepancies of the elevator
control system, if not corrected, could result in reduced control of
the elevators and consequent reduced controllability of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    EMBRAER has issued Alert Service Bulletin 145-27-A106, Revision 02,
dated December 28, 2007. The alert service bulletin describes
procedures for:
     Doing a one-time detailed visual inspection to detect
discrepancies (i.e., cracks, rupture and/or bends) of the components of
the elevator control system, doing a one-time movement of the control
column to observe the normal response of the elevators, doing a one-
time general visual inspection within touching distance to detect
discrepancies (i.e., overtravel at the hinge area) of the lower skins
of the elevators, and doing applicable related investigative actions
(Part I). The related investigative actions include detailed visual and
general visual inspections and measurements to detect discrepancies of
components of the elevator control system.
     Repetitively moving the control column to observe the
normal response of the elevators, repetitively doing the general visual
inspection from the ground, and doing applicable related investigative
actions, as described previously (Part II).
     Repetitively moving the control column to observe the
normal response of the elevators, repetitively doing the general visual
inspection to detect discrepancies (i.e., overtravel at the hinge
areas) of the lower and upper skins of the elevators, doing applicable
related investigative actions described previously, and doing
applicable detailed visual and general visual inspections and
measurements to detect discrepancies of components of the elevator
control system (Part III).
    EMBRAER Alert Service Bulletin 145-27-A106 refers to Task 05-50-26-
200-802-A, ``On-Ground Gale-Force Winds,'' dated March 28, 2006, of
Chapter 5-50-26 of EMBRAER EMB145 Aircraft Maintenance Manual, as an
additional source of service information for accomplishing the related
investigative actions and for accomplishing detailed visual and general
visual inspections and measurements to detect discrepancies of
components of the elevator control system.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    These airplanes are manufactured in Brazil and are type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
section 21.29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and
the applicable bilateral airworthiness agreement.
    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
    Therefore, we are issuing this AD to detect and correct
discrepancies of the elevator control system, which could result in
reduced control of the elevators and consequent reduced controllability
of the airplane. This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified
in the EMBRAER alert service bulletin described previously, except as
discussed under ``Difference Between the AD and the Referenced Service
Bulletin.'' This AD also requires repair and inspection reports of any
discrepancy found, and provides for optional terminating actions. The
required inspection reports will help determine the extent of the
discrepancies in the affected fleet.
    Paragraph (l) of this AD provides operators with an option to
modify the elevator mechanical gust locks in accordance with paragraphs
(c)(1) and (c)(2) of AD 2005-26-15 to end repetitive inspection
requirements of this AD. We are currently considering superseding AD
2005-26-15 to reduce the compliance time for that modification and we
might use the results of the inspection reports in our considerations.

Difference Between the AD and the Referenced Service Bulletin

    The alert service bulletin does not specify instructions on how to
repair certain conditions. This AD requires repairing those conditions
using a method approved by the FAA or the Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de
Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) (or its delegated agent). In light
of the type of repair that is required to address the unsafe condition,
and consistent with existing bilateral airworthiness agreements, we
have determined that, for this AD, a repair approved by the FAA or the
ANAC is acceptable for compliance with this AD.
    The Accomplishment Instructions of the alert service bulletin first
defines the term ``detailed inspection,'' but thereafter inadvertently
uses the term ``detailed visual inspection.'' This AD refers to all
such inspections as ``detailed inspection.''
    Paragraph 3.C.(1)(a) of the alert service bulletin specifies that
the general visual inspection is performed by a checker. This AD
requires that the inspection be done by certified maintenance
personnel.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    We have determined that interim repetitive inspections are
necessary to ensure long-term continued operational safety, in this
case, to detect any discrepancy before it represents a hazard to the
airplane. Because of our requirement to promote safe flight of civil
aircraft and thus, the critical need to assure the proper functioning
of the elevator control system and the short compliance time involved
with this action, this AD must be issued immediately.
    Because an unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate
adoption of this AD, we find that notice and opportunity for prior
public comment hereon are impracticable and 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 we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send
your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include
``Docket No. FAA-2008-0051; Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-001-AD'' at
the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this
AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov
, including any personal information you provide. We

will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about 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.
    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 have 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 the regulation:
    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); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

    You can also get a copy by sending a request to the Federal
Aviation Administration, Office of Rulemaking,

ARM-1, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591, or by

notice number of this proposal.

Background

    On November 5, 2010 the FAA published a Notice of Proposed Policy,
entitled Policy Clarifying Definition of ``Actively Engaged'' for the
Purpose of Inspector Authorization. (75 FR 68249, Docket No. FAA-2010-
1060.) Comments to that document were to be received on or before
December 6, 2010.
    By letter dated November 16, 2010, the Experimental Aircraft
Association (EAA) requested an extension of the comment period to
January 17, 2011. By letter dated November 22, 2010, the Aircraft
Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) requested a 60-day extension of
the comment period. Both petitioners stated the additional time is
necessary to fully investigate the proposal's potential negative impact
on the industry and because of the impact of upcoming holidays on their
opportunity to provide meaningful comments.

Extension of Comment Period

    In accordance with Sec.  11.47(c) of Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, the FAA has reviewed the petitions for extension by EAA
and AOPA. The FAA agrees with the petitioners that an opportunity for
meaningful comment is in the public interest. However, the FAA does not
support extending the comment period by 60 days. This proposed policy
does not constitute a significant change from current FAA policy
regarding inspector authorization but is merely a clarification of that
policy as stated in the Notice of Proposed Policy.
    The FAA supports an extension to January 17, 2011 to allow
additional time to investigate and develop meaningful comments in light
of the holiday schedule. The FAA has determined that an extension of
the comment period is consistent with the public interest, and that
good cause exists for taking this action.
    Accordingly, the comment period for this Notice of Proposed Policy
is extended until January 17, 2011. Absent unusual circumstances, the
FAA does not anticipate any further extension of the comment period.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on December 2, 2010.

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, invites
the general public to take this opportunity to comment on a revision of
a currently approved information collection. In accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this notice seeks comments concerning
this annual requirement for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), FEMA to identify current capability levels for all States,
Tribes, territories, and urban areas receiving non-disaster
preparedness grant funds administered by DHS.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 15, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments at www.regulations.gov under Docket ID FEMA-
2021-0020. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This package is a revision to the collection
titled the Threat and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment
(THIRA)--Stakeholder Preparedness Review (SPR) Unified Reporting Tool
under OMB Control Number 1660-0131. The Post-Katrina Emergency
Management Reform Act of 2006 (PKEMRA) (Pub. L. 109-295), as amended by
the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act of 2007
(Pub. L. 110-53), established an annual requirement for the 56 states
and territories to submit a State Preparedness Report. Because this
reporting now includes States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas,
FEMA has revised the name of the collection as the Stakeholder
Preparedness Review (SPR). States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas
receiving non-disaster preparedness grant funds administered by DHS
submit the SPR annually, and this encompasses the requirements of the
previous State Preparedness Report, while reflecting the updated
methodology reporting needs. The legislation requires a report on
current capability levels and a description of targeted capability
levels from all States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas receiving
non-disaster preparedness grant funds administered by DHS. Each

report must also include a discussion of the extent to which target
capabilities identified in the applicable state homeland security plan
and other applicable plans are unmet, and an assessment of resources
needed to meet the preparedness priorities established under PKEMRA
Section 646(e), including: (i) An estimate of the amount of
expenditures required to attain the preparedness priorities; and (ii)
the extent to which the use of Federal assistance during the preceding
fiscal year achieved the preparedness priorities. To meet this
requirement, States, Tribes, territories, and urban areas first
identify capability targets through THIRA and then assess against these
targets in the SPR. Through the SPR, these jurisdictions estimate their
current capabilities, identify and describe gaps between current
capabilities and targets, indicate their intended approach for
addressing gaps in the future, and report on the impact of Federal
grant dollars in building and sustaining capabilities. It is also
important to note that completing the THIRA and SPR are allowable
expenses under the grant awards.
