Airworthiness Directives; Various Aircraft Equipped With BRP-
Rotax GmbH & Co KG 912 A Series Engine

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for various
aircraft equipped with a BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG (formerly BRP-
Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-
Rotax GmbH) 912 A series engine. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and address an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as defective valve push-rod assemblies manufactured from June
8, 2016, through October 2, 2017. We are issuing this AD to require
actions to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective March 20, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 20,
2018.

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 various aircraft equipped
with a BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG (formerly BRP-Powertrain GmbH & Co. KG;
Bombardier-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG; Bombardier-Rotax GmbH) 912 A series
engine. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on November 22,
2017 (82 FR 55527). The NPRM proposed to address an unsafe condition
for the specified products and was based on mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country.
    The MCAI states:

    Power loss and engine RPM drop have been reported on Rotax 912/
914 engines in service. It has been determined that, due to a
quality control deficiency in the manufacturing process of certain
valve push-rod assemblies, manufactured between 08 June 2016 and 02
October 2017 inclusive, partial wear on the rocker arm ball socket
may occur, which may lead to malfunction of the valve train.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, may lead to rough
engine operation and loss of power, possibly resulting in a forced
landing, with consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to
occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, BRP-Rotax issued
Service Bulletin (SB) SB-912 i-008/SB-912-070/SB-914-052 (single
document), providing applicable instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection and, depending on findings, replacement of affected
parts. This [EASA] AD also prohibits installation of affected parts
on an engine].

    The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=FAA-2017-1078-0002.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
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.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG Rotax Aircraft Engines BRP
Service Bulletin SB-912 i-008 R1/SB-912-070 R1/SB-914-052 R1 (co-
published as one document), Revision 1, dated October 12, 2017. The
service information describes procedures for inspecting and, if
necessary, replacing the valve push-rod assembly on the left and/or
right rocker arms. 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
of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 63 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic inspection requirement of this AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $70 per
product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $9,765, or $155 per product.

    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 2 work-hours to replace all 8 valve push-rod assemblies and
associated parts on all 4 cylinders and require parts costing $3,093,
for a cost of $3,263 per product. We have no way of determining the
number of products that may need these actions.

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.
    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 small airplanes, gliders,
balloons, airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and
associated appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation
Division.

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 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.

Proposed Amendment of Class D Airspace and Class E Airspace;
Biloxi, MS, and Gulfport, MS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class D airspace, Class E
surface airspace, Class E airspace designated as an extension (by
removing NOTAM part-time status), and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Keesler Air Force Base (AFB),
Biloxi, MS, and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, (formerly
Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport), Gulfport, MS. The geographic
coordinates for these airports and the Keesler TACAN navigation aid
would be adjusted in the associated Class D and E airspace to match the
FAA's aeronautical database. Also, an editorial change would be made to
the Class E extension airspace legal descriptions replacing ``Airport/
Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart Supplement'' for these
airports. This action would enhance the safety and management of
instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at these airports.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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 amend Class D and Class E airspace at Keesler AFB, Biloxi,
MS, and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, Gulfport, MS, to support
IFR operations at these airports.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by amending Class D airspace and Class E
airspace designated as an extension, at Keesler AFB, Biloxi, MS, and
Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport (formerly Gulfport-Biloxi
Regional Airport, Gulfport, MS), by removing the part-time Notice to
Airmen (NOTAM) status of each airport.
    This proposal also would amend the geographic coordinates of these
airports and the Keesler TACAN navigation aid to be in concert with the
FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action also notes the airport name change of Gulfport-Biloxi
International Airport from Gulfport-Biloxi Regional Airport.
    Finally, this action would replace the term ``Airport/Facility
Directory'' with the term `Chart Supplement'' in the legal descriptions
for Keesler AFB, and Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport, in Class D
and Class E surface airspace.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraphs
5000, 6002, 6004 and 6005, respectively of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated
August 3, 2017, and effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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 proposed 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.

Environmental Review

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are or may be required to
conduct testing of chemical substances under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). Since other entities may also be interested,
the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific entities that
may be affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help

address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks
information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a
result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may
have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human health
impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide
discussed in this document, compared to the general population.

II. What action is the agency taking?

    Under section 5 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow
manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers
are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses
of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of water.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of regional and national significance,

    Summary of Request: The applicant proposes release of male Aedes
polynesienis mosquitoes infected with Wolbachia pipientis in American
Samoa. The male mosquitoes will mate with indigenous female Aedes
polynesienis, causing conditional sterility and resulting in mosquito
population suppression. Adult and egg collection data from treated
areas will be compared to those in the control site to examine for the
effect of the released product on the indigenous population.
    A copy of the application and any information submitted is
available for public review in the docket established for this EUP
application as described under ADDRESSES.
    Following the review of the application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to
issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under
which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced
in the Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81995; File No. SR-FINRA-2017-033]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change To Establish Fees for the New TRACE Security
Activity Report and End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File

November 1, 2017.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 24, 2017, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I,
II, and III below, which Items have been prepared by FINRA. FINRA has
designated the proposed rule change as ``establishing or changing a
due, fee or other charge'' under Section 19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act \3\
and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal
effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission. The Commission
is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule
change from interested persons.

    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to amend Rule 7730 to establish fees for the new
TRACE Security Activity Report and End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    FINRA's TRACE data product offerings, set forth in Rule 7730 (Trade
Reporting and Compliance Engine (TRACE)), include both real-time as
well as historic data for most TRACE-eligible securities.\5\ The SEC
recently approved a new (i) TRACE Security Activity Report and (ii)
End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File.\6\ The new TRACE Security Activity
Report is a monthly report that provides aggregated statistics by
security for TRACE-Eligible Securities that are Corporate and Agency
Bonds (``CA Bonds''). The report will contain basic descriptive
security elements, aggregate par value volume information, number of
transactions, number of unique market participant identifiers
(``MPIDs''), and top 5 statistics for disseminated transactions in CA
Bonds. The new End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File is a daily file
available after the TRACE system closes that includes all transaction
data disseminated as part of Real-Time TRACE transaction data on that
day and is separately available for each data set for which Real-Time
TRACE transaction data is available (i.e., the Corporate Bond Data Set,
Agency Data Set, SP Data Set, and Rule 144A Data Set).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Rule 6710 (Definitions) provides that a ``TRACE-Eligible
Security'' is a debt security that is United States (``U.S.'')
dollar-denominated and issued by a U.S. or foreign private issuer,
and, if a ``restricted security'' as defined in Securities Act Rule
144(a)(3), sold pursuant to Securities Act Rule 144A; or is a debt
security that is U.S. dollar-denominated and issued or guaranteed by
an Agency as defined in paragraph (k) or a Government-Sponsored
Enterprise as defined in paragraph (n); or a U.S. Treasury Security
as defined in paragraph (p). ``TRACE-Eligible Security'' does not
include a debt security that is issued by a foreign sovereign or a
Money Market Instrument as defined in paragraph (o).
    \6\ Id. [sic]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is now proposing to amend Rule 7730 to establish fees for the
TRACE Security Activity Report and the End-of-Day TRACE Transaction
File. FINRA is proposing to establish a fee of $750 per month for
receipt of the TRACE Security Activity Report, unless the subscriber is
a qualifying tax-exempt organization, in which case FINRA would charge
$250 per month. FINRA also is proposing to establish a fee of $750 per
month per data set for receipt of the End-of-Day TRACE Transaction
File, unless the subscriber is a qualifying tax-exempt organization, in
which case FINRA would charge $250 per month per data set. However,
subscribers to the Vendor Real-Time Data Feed will not be charged a fee
to receive the End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File for the Vendor Real-
Time data set(s) to which they have subscribed. FINRA believes that
these fees are reasonable, and notes that subscribing to each product
is optional for members and others.
    FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate
effectiveness. The effective date of the proposed rule change will be
the date of effectiveness of the TRACE Security Activity Report and
End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81318 (August 4,
2017), 82 FR 37484 (August 10, 2017) (Order Approving File No. SR-
FINRA-2017-021); see also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 81114
(July 11, 2017), 82 FR 32728 (July 17, 2017) (Order Approving File
No. SR-FINRA-2017-015). FINRA will announce the effective date of
each data product in a Regulatory Notice. The effective date will be
no later than 365 days following Commission approval of each
respective data product.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers and
other persons using any facility or system that FINRA operates or
controls.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the proposal, FINRA will establish fees for (i) the
TRACE Security Activity Report that will provide interested parties
with a means for receiving aggregated statistics by security for CA
Bonds, and (ii) the End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File that will provide
interested parties with an alternative means of receiving the
transaction information disseminated each trading day as part of the
Real-Time TRACE transaction data product. The TRACE Security Activity
Report will be made available to subscribers for a fee of $750 per
month, or $250 per month for qualifying tax-exempt organizations. FINRA
believes that the proposed fees are reasonable.
    The TRACE Security Activity Report is an entirely new report and is
not comparable to any current FINRA TRACE data product offering. FINRA
cannot at this time estimate the number of persons that may subscribe
to the product. However, as indicated by the comment letters received
by the Commission on the proposal to adopt

the TRACE Security Activity Report,\9\ FINRA believes that there will
be some interest in the report, including in connection with compliance
efforts with respect to regulatory obligations under the Investment
Company Act of 1940.\10\ FINRA believes that the fee of $750 per month
is reasonable given the costs to be incurred by FINRA in developing the
report and providing ongoing administrative, functional and technical
support to subscribers, while still being priced at an amount that
should allow it to be accessible to interested parties. FINRA also
notes that, for a qualifying tax-exempt organization, the fee for the
TRACE Security Activity Report will be $250 per month. Where feasible,
FINRA generally endeavors to provide TRACE data products to qualifying
tax-exempt organizations at a reduced subscription fee to encourage
access to TRACE data to facilitate bond market research.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See letter to Brent J. Fields, Secretary, Commission, from
Bennett Golub, Chief Risk Officer, and Alexis Rosenblum, Director,
BlackRock, Inc., dated July 20, 2017; and letter to Robert W.
Errett, Deputy Secretary, Commission, from Sean Davy, Managing
Director, Capital Markets Division, Securities Industry and
Financial Markets Association, dated July 20, 2017.
    \10\ 17 CFR 270.22e-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File will be made available to
subscribers for a fee of $750 per month per data set, $250 per month
per data set for qualifying tax-exempt organizations, or at no cost to
subscribers to the Vendor Real-Time Data Feed for the Vendor Real-Time
data set(s) to which they have subscribed. FINRA believes that the
proposed fees are reasonable. FINRA currently charges $1,500 per month
per data set for the Vendor Real-Time Data Feed. The End-of-Day TRACE
Transaction File will provide access to all of the transactions that
were disseminated via the Real-Time Data Feed throughout the trading
day, but in a single file only available at the end of the trading day.
This option not only provides a lower-priced alternative to the Vendor
Real-Time Data Feed, it also requires less technological infrastructure
from subscribers. Given the current fees established for this somewhat
related product, FINRA believes that the proposed fee of $750 per month
per data set is reasonable, which is half of the cost of the Vendor
Real-Time Data Feed. FINRA also believes this fee is reasonable given
the costs to be incurred by FINRA in developing the report and
providing ongoing administrative, functional and technical support to
subscribers. FINRA also notes that any current subscribers to Vendor
Real-Time Data will not be charged a fee for receipt of the End-of-Day
TRACE Transaction File for the Vendor Real-Time data set(s) to which
they have subscribed. FINRA cannot at this time estimate the number of
persons that may subscribe to the product; however, as stated in the
Notice, some market participants have indicated that a simpler
alternative that allows them to receive transaction information once a
day in an end-of-day file would be useful.\11\ As is the case with the
TRACE Security Activity Report, FINRA will make the End-of-Day TRACE
Transaction File available to qualifying tax-exempt organizations at a
reduced subscription fee (of $250 per month per data set) to encourage
access to TRACE data to facilitate bond market research.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80805 (May 30,
2017), 82 FR 25862 (June 5, 2017) (Notice of Filing of File No. SR-
FINRA-2017-015) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA believes that the proposed fees are reasonable, and notes
that the fees will be applied equally to all similarly situated
interested parties that choose to subscribe to either data product.
Thus, FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Act.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal to establish fees
in connection with the new TRACE Security Activity Report and End-of-
Day TRACE Transaction File applies only to members that choose to
subscribe to these data products, and the proposed fees for each data
product will apply equally to all similarly situated subscribers.
Subscribers to the Vendor Real-Time Data Feed will not be charged a fee
to receive the End-of-Day TRACE Transaction File for the Vendor Real-
Time data set(s) to which they have subscribed.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)
    of the Act \12\ and paragraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\13\
At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule change,
the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such
action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether
the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

information on this meeting. A notice in the Federal Register about
last minute modifications that impact a previously announced advisory
committee meeting cannot always be published quickly enough to provide
timely notice. Therefore, you should always check the Agency's Web site
and call the appropriate advisory committee hot line/phone line to
learn about possible modifications before coming to the meeting.
    Agenda: On February 11, 2011, the subcommittee will receive
presentations and discuss the timelines and structure of the Tobacco
Products Scientific Advisory Committee's required report to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services regarding the impact of use of
menthol in cigarettes on the public health.
    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its Web site prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available at the location of
the advisory committee meeting, and the background material will be
posted on FDA's Web site after the meeting. Background material is
available at http://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll down to the appropriate advisory committee link.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
Written submissions may be made to the contact person on or before
January 28, 2011. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled
between approximately 11 a.m. and 12 noon on February 11, 2011. Those
individuals interested in making formal oral presentations should
notify the contact person and submit a brief statement of the general
nature of the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and
addresses of proposed participants, and an indication of the
approximate time requested to make their presentation on or before
January 20, 2011. Time allotted for each presentation may be limited.
If the number of registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be
reasonably accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing
session, FDA may conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the
scheduled open public hearing session. The contact person will notify
interested persons regarding their request to speak by January 21,
2011.

that the Agency is not responsible for providing access to electrical
