Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0328; Directorate Identifier 2011-NM-259-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B19 (Regional Jet Series 100 &
440) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of jamming/
malfunctioning of the left-hand engine thrust control mechanism. This
proposed AD would require modifying the left-hand engine upper core-
cowl. We are proposing this AD to prevent jamming/malfunctioning of the
left-hand engine thrust control mechanism, which could lead to loss of
control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 21, 2012.

Discussion

    The Transport Canada Civil Aviation, which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2011-38, dated October 19, 2011 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The
MCAI states:

    There have been several reported incidents of jamming/
malfunctioning of the left hand (L/H) engine thrust control
mechanism on the affected aeroplanes. The investigation has shown
that an improperly stowed or dislodged upper core-cowl-door Hold
Open Rod, can impede a Fuel Control Unit (FCU) function by
obstructing the movement of the FCU actuating lever arm, hence
rendering the L/H engine thrust control inoperable.
    Due to the engine's orientation, the subject FCU fouling is
limited only to the L/H engine installation on the affected twin
engine powered aeroplanes; however the potential hazard of any in-
flight engine shut down caused by jammed engine fuel control lever
is a safety concern that warrants mitigating action.
    In order to help alleviate the possibility of an in-flight
engine shut down due to the subject fouling of the FCU lever by the
core-cowl-door Hold Open Rod, Bombardier has issued a Service
Bulletin (SB) to install a new bracket at the L/H engine upper core-
cowl-door location. This [Canadian] directive is issued to mandate
the incorporation of the SB 601R-71-033 on the affected aeroplanes.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 601R-71-033, dated
August 24, 2011. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 601 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 2 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $54 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these parts.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $134,624, or $224 per product.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81386; File No. SR-ICC-2017-010]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; ICE Clear Credit LLC; Order

Approving Proposed Rule Change To Revise the ICC Clearing Rules and the

ICC Treasury Operations Policies and Procedures

August 14, 2017.

I. Introduction

    On June 16, 2017, ICE Clear Credit LLC (``ICC'') filed with the

Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to

Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\

and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change (SR-ICC-2017-010)

to make changes to the ICC Clearing Rules (the ``ICC Rules'') and ICC

Treasury Operations Policies and Procedures (``Treasury Policy'') to

remove eligibility of Japanese yen (``JPY''), Great British pounds

(``GBP''), and Canadian dollars (``CAD'') to meet Initial Margin

(``IM'') and Guaranty Fund (``GF'') requirements. The proposed rule

change was published for comment in the Federal Register on July 5,

2017.\3\ The Commission received no comment letters regarding the

proposed change. For the reasons discussed below, the Commission is

approving the proposed rule change.

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

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-81037 (June 28,

2017), 82 FR 31121 (July 5, 2017) (SR-ICC-2017-010) (``Notice'').

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

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    ICC has proposed changes to Schedule 401 of the ICC Rules and to

its Treasury Policy. The proposed changes would remove JPY, GBP, and

CAD from eligibility to meet IM and GF requirements. Currently, a

Clearing Participant may meet the final 35% of their IM and GF

requirements with JPY, GBP, or CAD, in aggregate. Under the proposed

revisions, Clearing Participants would continue to be able to meet

their IM and GF requirements using Euro cash, U.S. cash, and/or U.S.

Treasuries, in accordance with the applicable collateral thresholds.

    Specifically, with respect to Schedule 401 of the ICC Rules, ICC

proposed removing references to G7 cash (which includes U.S. cash, Euro

cash, JPY, GBP, and CAD) and defining ``All Eligible Collateral'' for

both Non-Client IM and GF Liquidity Requirements and Client-Related IM

Liquidity Requirements to be US cash, Euro cash, and/or U.S.

Treasuries. Under the proposed changes, U.S. cash, Euro cash, and/or

U.S. Treasuries would be eligible for meeting the final 35% of IM and

GF requirements for all Non-Client IM and GF Liquidity Requirements and

Client-Related U.S. dollar (``USD'') denominated IM Requirements; and

U.S. cash, Euro cash, and/or U.S. Treasuries would be eligible for

meeting a maximum of 100% of IM requirements for Client-Related Euro-

Denominated Product Requirements.

    In addition, ICC proposed to update its Treasury Policy to remove

references to JPY, GBP, and CAD as eligible collateral. Under the

proposed changes, ICC would remove references to JPY, GBP, and CAD in

the ``Collateral Liquidation Assumptions'' tables (for both Euro and

USD denominated requirements). ICC would also update the ``Eligible

Client Collateral'' section of the Treasury Policy to note that its

eligible collateral for client IM includes U.S. cash, Euro cash, and

U.S. government securities in line with current eligible collateral for

House exposures (i.e., U.S. Treasuries). ICC also would revise the

``Client-Related

IM Liquidity Requirements'' section of the Treasury Policy to reflect

the proposed liquidity requirement changes, namely USD-denominated

product requirements of 65% cash and/or U.S. Treasuries, and 35%

remainder eligible U.S. cash, U.S. Treasuries, and/or Euro cash; and

Euro-denominated product requirements of 100% U.S. cash, Euro cash,

and/or U.S. Treasuries. The proposed changes also include removing

reference to G7 cash and including U.S. Treasury securities, U.S. cash,

and Euro cash as eligible collateral from the House IM and GF Liquidity

Requirements (for Non-Client USD and Euro-denominated requirements)

chart, the list of acceptable forms of collateral for IM, and the list

of acceptable forms of collateral for the GF).

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    Section 19(b)(2)(C) of the Act \4\ directs the Commission to

approve a proposed rule change of a self-regulatory organization if it

finds that such proposed rule change is consistent with the

requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder

applicable to such organization. Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act \5\

requires, among other things, that the rules of a registered clearing

agency be designed to promote the prompt and accurate clearance and

settlement of securities transactions and, to the extent applicable,

derivative agreements, contracts, and transactions, to assure the

safeguarding of securities and funds which are in the custody or

control of the clearing agency or for which it is responsible and, in

general, to protect investors and the public interest. Rule 17Ad-

22(d)(3) \6\ requires that a registered clearing agency shall

establish, implement, maintain and enforce written policies and

procedures reasonably designed to hold assets in a manner that

minimizes risk of loss or of delay in its access to them.

    \6\ 17 CFR 240.17Ad-22(d)(3).

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

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, which removes

JPY, GBP, and CAD from eligibility to meet IM and GF requirements, is

consistent with Section 17A of the Act and Rule 17Ad-22 thereunder.

According to ICC, ICC would need to convert JPY, GBP, and CAD into

another currency in order to use them to satisfy obligations arising

from the products that ICC clears, which are denominated only in USD or

Euros. Therefore, from ICC's perspective, JPY, GBP, and CAD are not as

liquid as USD or Euros for purposes of ICC's business activities.

Moreover, ICC has noted that JPY has a significant timing issue related

to conversion. ICC also expressed the view that, from a practical

standpoint, these changes should have minimal impact on ICC's financial

resource composition because such currencies have been utilized rarely

by Clearing Participants to meet IM and GF requirements. The Commission

believes that, by removing JPY, GBP, and CAD as eligible forms of

collateral that may be posted to ICC, ICC reduces the risk that ICC

would not be able to meet its settlement or other liquidity obligations

timely because of the need to convert one currency to another. The

Commission therefore finds that the proposed revisions to the ICC Rules

and Treasury Policy are designed to promote the prompt and accurate

settlement of securities transactions, derivatives agreements,

contracts, and transactions for which ICC is responsible, consistent

with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act. Similarly the proposed

changes are designed to allow ICC to hold collateral in forms that

minimize the risk of loss or delay in accessing them by reducing the

need for ICC to conduct currency conversions. The Commission therefore

finds that the proposed revisions also are consistent with the

requirements of Rule 17Ad-22(d)(3).

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act

that the proposed rule change (SR-ICC-2017-010) be, and hereby is,

approved.\7\

    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRMs should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking<PHONE_NUMBER>, to
request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface within a 7-mile radius of Steele
Municipal Airport, Steele, MO, to accommodate new standard instrument
approach procedures. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and effective September 15, 2013, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed 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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would establish controlled airspace at Steele Municipal Airport,
Steele, MO.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Airworthiness Directives; BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes, and
Model Avro 146-RJ series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a
report of a pressurization problem on an airplane during climb-out; a
subsequent investigation showed a crack in the fuselage skin. This
proposed AD would require repetitive external eddy current inspections
on the aft skin lap joints of the rear fuselage for cracking,
corrosion, and other defects, and repair if necessary. We are proposing
this AD to detect and correct cracking, corrosion, and other defects,
which could affect the structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 20,
2014.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2013-0207, dated September 9, 2013 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all BAE Systems
(Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 series airplanes, and Model Avro
146-RJ series airplanes. The MCAI states:

In 2012, a pressurisation problem occurred on an AVRO 146-RJ100
aeroplane during climb-out. Subsequent investigation results
identified a 42.87 inch (1089 mm) long crack in the fuselage skin in
the rear fuselage drum, near the rear passenger door. The skin crack
had initiated in the step of the skin land adjacent to a lap joint.
In addition to the skin crack, cracks were found in Frames 41X and
42.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
degradation of the structural integrity of the aeroplane.
    Prompted by this finding, BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd issued
Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB) 53-239, providing instructions to
inspect the internal area of the rear fuselage drum for cracks,
corrosion and any other defects and EASA issued AD 2012-0178 [http:/
/ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/
easaad20120178Superseded.pdf/
AD2012-01781] which required accomplishment of a
one-time inspection of the affected fuselage area and, depending on
findings, repair of cracked structural items. Following the issuance
of that [EASA] AD, some new information on additional damage found
on the aeroplane that had the pressurisation problem resulted in a
further review of the cracking event. This review concluded that the
event was more serious than previously considered and that the
compliance time must be reduced in order to mitigate the risk of
cracking on other aeroplanes. As a result, EASA issued AD 2012-0184
[http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/
easaad20120184superseded.pdf/
AD2012-01841] which superseded EASA AD 2012-0178.
    After analysing the responses to EASA AD 2012-0184, which
covered the initial inspection of stringer 30, left hand (LH) and
right hand (RH), BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd also assessed the
similar design features at other skin lands in the rear fuselage
drum, namely at stringer 2 right and stringers 11 and 18, LH and RH.
As a result, they determined that inspections at the other stringers
would be required and also that repeat inspections of all these
stringers would be necessary. Consequently, BAE Systems (Operations)
Ltd ISB.53-239 Revision 1 and 2 were issued to include these new
inspections.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2012-0184, which is superseded, and requires
accomplishment of additional inspections of the affected fuselage
area, including repetitive inspections, and depending on findings,
repair of cracked structural items.

The required actions include repetitive external eddy current
inspections on the aft skin lap joints of the rear fuselage for
cracking, corrosion, and other defects, and repair if necessary. 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-2014-
0621.

Relevant Service Information

    BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has issued Inspection Service
Bulletin

53-239, Revision 2, dated July 15, 2013. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    EASA AD 2013-0207, dated September 9, 2013, specifies that, if any
cracking, corrosion, or any other irregularity is detected during any
inspection required by paragraph (1) of the EASA AD, owners/operators
must contact BAE Systems (Operations) Limited before further flight for
approved repair instructions, and within the compliance time specified
in those instructions, must accomplish the repair accordingly. This AD
requires that if any cracking, corrosion, or any other irregularity is
found during any inspection, owners/operators must repair before
further flight using a method approved by the Manager, International
Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA; or EASA; or BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited's EASA Design Organization Approval (DOA).
This difference has been coordinated with EASA.

``Contacting the Manufacturer'' Paragraph in This Proposed AD

    Since late 2006, we have included a standard paragraph titled
``Airworthy Product'' in all MCAI ADs in which the FAA develops an AD
based on a foreign authority's AD.
    The MCAI or referenced service information in an FAA AD often
directs the owner/operator to contact the manufacturer for corrective
actions, such as a repair. Briefly, the Airworthy Product paragraph
allowed owners/operators to use corrective actions provided by the
manufacturer if those actions were FAA-approved. In addition, the
paragraph stated that any actions approved by the State of Design
Authority (or its delegated agent) are considered to be FAA-approved.
    In an NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-101-AD (78 FR
78285, December 26, 2013), we proposed to prevent the use of repairs
that were not specifically developed to correct the unsafe condition,
by requiring that the repair approval provided by the State of Design
Authority or its delegated agent specifically refer to the FAA AD. This
change was intended to clarify the method of compliance and to provide
operators with better visibility of repairs that are specifically
developed and approved to correct the unsafe condition. In addition, we
proposed to change the phrase ``its delegated agent'' to include a
design approval holder (DAH) with State of Design Authority design
organization approval (DOA), as applicable, to refer to a DAH
authorized to approve required repairs for the proposed AD.
    One commenter to the NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-
101-AD (78 FR 78285, December 26, 2013) stated the following: ``The
proposed wording, being specific to repairs, eliminates the
interpretation that Airbus messages are acceptable for approving minor
deviations (corrective actions) needed during accomplishment of an AD
mandated Airbus service bulletin.''
    This comment has made the FAA aware that some operators have
misunderstood or misinterpreted the Airworthy Product paragraph to
allow the owner/operator to use messages provided by the manufacturer
as approval of deviations during the accomplishment of an AD-mandated
action. The Airworthy Product paragraph does not approve messages or
other information provided by the manufacturer for deviations to the
requirements of the AD-mandated actions. The Airworthy Product
paragraph only addresses the requirement to contact the manufacturer
for corrective actions for the identified unsafe condition and does not
cover deviations from other AD requirements. However, deviations to AD-
required actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, and anyone may request
the approval for an alternative method of compliance to the AD-required
actions using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    To address this misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the
Airworthy Product paragraph, we have changed the paragraph and retitled
it ``Contacting the Manufacturer.'' This paragraph now clarifies that
for any requirement in this proposed AD to obtain corrective actions
from a manufacturer, the actions must be accomplished using a method
approved by the FAA, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), or BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited's EASA DOA.
    The Contacting the Manufacturer paragraph also clarifies that, if
approved by the DOA, the approval must include the DOA-authorized
signature. The DOA signature indicates that the data and information
contained in the document are EASA-approved, which is also FAA-
approved. Messages and other information provided by the manufacturer
that do not contain the DOA-authorized signature approval are not EASA-
approved unless EASA directly approves the manufacturer's message or
other information.
    This clarification does not remove flexibility previously afforded
by the Airworthy Product paragraph. Consistent with long-standing FAA
policy, such flexibility was never intended for required actions. This
is also consistent with the recommendation of the Airworthiness
Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee to increase
flexibility in complying with ADs by identifying those actions in
manufacturers' service instructions that are ``Required for
Compliance'' with ADs. We continue to work with manufacturers to
implement this recommendation. But once we determine that an action is
required, any deviation from the requirement must be approved as an
alternative method of compliance.
    We also have decided not to include a generic reference to either
the ``delegated agent'' or ``design approval holder (DAH) with State of
Design Authority design organization approval,'' but instead we have
provided the specific delegation approval granted by the State of
Design Authority for the DAH throughout this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1 airplane of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                   cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
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 proposed 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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. 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.

an airplane during climb-out; a subsequent investigation showed a
crack in the fuselage skin. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct cracking, corrosion, and other defects, which could affect
the structural integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Repetitive Inspections

    (1) Within the compliance times specified in paragraphs
(g)(1)(i) and (g)(1)(ii) of this AD, as applicable: Do an external
eddy current inspection on the aft skin lap joints of the rear
fuselage for cracking, corrosion, and other defects (i.e. surface
damage and spot displacement), in accordance with paragraph 2.C. of
the Accomplishment Instructions of BAE Systems (Operations) Limited
Inspection Service Bulletin 53-239, Revision 2, dated July 15, 2013.
    (i) For any airplane which has accumulated 9,000 flight cycles
or more since the airplane's first flight as of the effective date
of this AD: Do the inspection within 1,000 flight cycles or 6 months
after of the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs first.
    (ii) For any airplane which has accumulated less than 9,000
flight cycles since the airplane's first flight as the effective
date of this AD: Do the inspection before accumulating 10,000 flight
cycles since the airplane's first flight.
    (2) Repeat the inspection required by paragraph (g)(1) of this
AD thereafter at intervals not to exceed the times specified in
paragraphs (g)(2)(i) and (g)(2)(ii) of this AD, as applicable to the
airplane's modification status.
    (i) For Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ
series airplanes post modification HCM50070E, or post modification
HCM50070F, or post modification HCM50259A, repeat the inspection at
intervals not to exceed 4,000 flight cycles.
    (ii) For Model BAe 146 series airplanes and Model Avro 146-RJ
series airplanes pre-modification HCM50070E, and pre-modification
HCM50070F, and pre-modification HCM50259A, repeat the inspection at
intervals not to exceed 7,500 flight cycles.

(h) Corrective Action

    If any cracking, corrosion, or other defect is found during any
inspection required by this AD: Before further flight, repair using
a method approved by the Manager, International Branch, ANM-116,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On June 22, 2009, President Obama signed into law the Family
Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111-31) (Tobacco
Control Act). The Tobacco Control Act amends the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) by adding chapter IX (21 U.S.C. 387 et
seq.) and grants FDA authority to regulate the manufacture, marketing,
and distribution of tobacco products to protect public health generally
and to reduce tobacco use by minors.
    FDA expects that tobacco product manufacturers will undertake
tobacco product research as part of activities regulated under the
Tobacco Control Act, including submission of applications for marketing
orders under sections 910 and 911 of the FD&C Act. Section 911 of the
FD&C Act requires FDA to issue regulations or guidance (or any
combination thereof) on the scientific evidence required for assessment
and ongoing review of modified risk tobacco products (MRTPs). Section
911(l)(2) requires that such regulations or guidance be developed in
consultation with the Institute of Medicine (IOM), among others, on the
design and conduct of such studies and surveillance. Pursuant to this
requirement, the IOM convened a multidisciplinary committee and
published a report in December 2011. In the report, entitled
``Scientific Standards for Studies on Modified Risk Tobacco Products''
(http://www.iom.edu/Reports/2011/Scientific-Standards-for-Studies-on-Modified-Risk-Tobacco-Products.aspx), the IOM notes that ``governance
of research is critical to the production of credible and reliable
evidence.''
    Specifically, the IOM report states ``[t]here is profound distrust
of the tobacco industry and of research supported by the tobacco
industry. This distrust is the direct result of the tobacco industry's
history of improperly influencing or manipulating scientific findings
and messaging about the health

effects of tobacco. This history and the lack of trust may prevent
independent experts from participating in research on tobacco products
and therefore may impede the production of data on MRTPs necessary to
assess public health impact.'' The IOM also notes that ``the tobacco
industry currently lacks the infrastructure and expertise to
independently produce the necessary evidence to support an application
to market an MRTP.''
    As a result of these findings, the IOM recommends in its report
that ``MRTP sponsors should consider use of independent third parties
to undertake one or more key functions, including the design and
conduct of research, the oversight of specific studies, and the
distribution of sponsor funds for research. Such independent third
parties should be approved by the FDA in advance of the research.''
    The IOM report focuses on research to support MRTP applications,
but FDA is also interested in information on third-party governance as
it relates more generally to industry-sponsored tobacco research. FDA
is interested in receiving information on whether some form of third-
party governance should be considered for other types of industry-
sponsored tobacco product research, including research to support
premarket tobacco product applications and other submissions to FDA, as
well as research designed to contribute to general knowledge regarding
tobacco products.

II. Request for Comments and Information

    As FDA considers how and whether to implement third-party
governance of industry-sponsored tobacco product research, we are
requesting comments on the IOM's recommendation. We encourage you to
submit any available research or evidence to support your comments. FDA
specifically requests comments on:
    1. What are some potential models of third-party governance of
industry-sponsored tobacco product research? What are the strengths and
weaknesses of these models?
    2. What criteria could FDA use to evaluate any potential model of
third-party governance of industry-sponsored tobacco product research?
    3. What role would various interested parties (e.g., individual
researchers, academic institutions, for-profit and not-for-profit
research organizations) play in a third-party governance model of
tobacco product research?
    4. Who would participate in a third-party governance model? How
could a governance model be structured to reduce conflict of interest
and bias in industry-sponsored tobacco product research?
    5. What barriers, if any, would have to be overcome to encourage
the broader scientific community to participate in a third-party
governance model?
    6. Are there unique research challenges faced by small
manufacturers and how should they be addressed in a third-party
governance model?
    7. What kinds of tobacco product research could be subject to
third-party governance? For example, could it be applied to:
     Product testing?
     Nonclinical studies?
     Studies in human subjects? (e.g., health effects research,
behavioral research, abuse liability studies, consumer perception
research)
     Computational modeling?
     Postmarket surveillance?
    8. What aspects of tobacco product research could be subject to
third-party governance? For example, should both the design and conduct
of research studies be subject to third-party governance?
    9. Are there governance models or other steps FDA can take that are
more effective for overseeing research to produce generalizable
knowledge, such as establishing better testing/research methods and
standards, compared to specific product research?

III. Submission of Comments

    Interested persons may submit either electronic comments regarding
this document to http://www.regulations.gov or written comments to the
Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES). It is only necessary to
send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
