SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Since publication of the 2011 ``Identifying CDER's Science and
Research Needs'' report, FDA has been engaged in efforts to further
assess and prioritize the needs articulated therein. As part of these
efforts, CDER's Safety Research Interest Group (SRIG), a subcommittee
of the Science Prioritization and Review Committee, assessed CDER's
overall drug safety-related regulatory science needs in view of FDA's
ongoing research efforts and highlighted areas that would benefit from
additional resources and collaboration.
    The SRIG identified the following seven overall needs for drug
safety-related regulatory science:
    1. Improve access to postmarket data sources and explore the
feasibility of their use in safety signal analyses
    2. Improve risk assessment and management strategies to reinforce
the safe use of drugs
    3. Evaluate the effectiveness of risk communications of drug safety
information to health care providers and the public
    4. Improve product quality and design, manufacturing processes, and
product performance relating to safety
    5. Develop and improve predictive models of safety in humans,
including nonclinical biomarkers
    6. Improve clinical trial statistical analyses for safety,
including benefit-risk assessment
    7. Investigate clinical biomarkers of safety, including standards
for qualification.
    Particular priorities within the seven overall needs requiring
further resources and outside participation were also identified. FDA
seeks to stimulate collaborations with external partners and
stakeholders to address these needs by asking them to: (1) Submit
descriptions of their ongoing research and initiatives related to the
seven overall needs, especially the identified priorities, and (2)
indicate their interest in working with FDA to address these needs.
Outside parties are being asked to submit comments to the docket and

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-23-
13, for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes.
AD 2015-23-13 currently requires modification of the pin programming of
the flight warning computer (FWC) to activate the stop rudder input
warning (SRIW) logic; and an inspection to determine the part numbers
of the FWC and the flight augmentation computer (FAC), and replacement
of the FWC and FAC if necessary. Since we issued AD 2015-23-13, we have
determined that, for certain airplanes, additional modification
instructions must be accomplished to allow installation of the minimum
FWC and FAC configuration compatible with SRIW activation. This
proposed AD would, for certain airplanes, also require accomplishment
of additional modification instructions to install the minimum FWC and
FAC configuration compatible with SRIW activation. We are proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 3, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2016-9573;
Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-149-AD'' at the beginning of your

economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD based on 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 proposed AD.

Discussion

    On November 9, 2015, we issued AD 2015-23-13, Amendment 39-18330
(80 FR 73099, November 24, 2015) (``AD 2015-23-13''), for all Airbus
Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series airplanes. AD 2015-23-13 was
prompted by a determination that, in specific flight conditions, the
allowable load limits on the vertical tail plane could be reached and
possibly exceeded. Exceeding allowable load limits could result in
detachment of the vertical tail plane. AD 2015-23-13 requires
modification of the pin programming of the FWC to activate the SRIW
logic; an inspection to determine the part numbers of the FWC and the
FAC, and replacement of the FWC and FAC if necessary. We issued AD
2015-23-13 to prevent detachment of the vertical tail plane and
consequent loss of control of the airplane.
    Since we issued AD 2015-23-13, we have determined that, for certain
airplanes, additional modification instructions must be accomplished to
allow installation of the minimum FWC and FAC configuration compatible
with SRIW activation.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0132, dated July 5, 2016; corrected July
20, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus Model A318, A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During design reviews that were conducted following safety
recommendations related to in-service incidents and one accident on
another aircraft type, it has been determined that, in specific
flight conditions, the allowable load limits on the vertical tail

plane could be reached and possibly exceeded.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to in-flight
detachment of the vertical tail plane, possibly resulting in loss of
control of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, Airbus developed modifications
within the flight augmentation computer (FAC) to reduce the vertical
tail plane stress and to activate a conditional aural warning within
the flight warning computer (FWC) to further protect against pilot
induced rudder doublets.
    Consequently, EASA issued AD 2014-0217 (later revised) [which
corresponds to FAA AD 2015-23-13] to require installation and
activation of the stop rudder input warning (SRIW) logic. In
addition, that [EASA] AD required upgrades of the FAC and FWC, to
introduce the SRIW logic and SRIW aural capability, respectively.
After modification, the [EASA] AD prohibited (re)installation of
certain Part Number (P/N) FWC and FAC.
    Since EASA AD 2014-0217R1 was issued, Airbus made available
additional modification instructions that, for certain aeroplanes,
must be accomplished to allow installation of the minimum FWC and
FAC configuration compatible with SRIW activation.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2014-0217R1, which is superseded, and
includes reference to modification instructions, which must be
accomplished on certain aeroplanes.
    This [EASA] AD is republished to remove a typographical error in
Appendix 1 [of the EASA AD].

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 these
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,032 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2015-23-13, and retained in this
proposed AD take about 3 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the actions that are required by AD 2015-23-13 is $255 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $263,160, or $255
per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 6 work-hours (3 work-hours for an FWC and 3 work-hours for
an FAC), and require parts costing $88,000 (FAC), for a cost of $88,510
per product. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that
might 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.

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.

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:

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 e-mail. 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. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    EPA is printing a summary of a pesticide petition received under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21
U.S.C. 346a, proposing the establishment or amendment of regulations in
40 CFR part 180 for residues of pesticide chemicals in or on various
food commodities. EPA has determined that this pesticide petition
contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency
of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting
of the pesticide petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA
rules on this pesticide petition.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a summary of the petition included in
this notice, prepared by the petitioner along with a description of the
analytical method available for the detection and measurement of the
pesticide chemical residues is available on EPA's Electronic Docket at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and sale in the United
States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same MY as the
model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR 593.7, NHTSA publishes notice
of each petition that it receives in the Federal Register, and affords
interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition. At the
close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then publishes this decision in
the Federal Register.
    Skytop Rover Co., Inc., (Registered Importer R-6-343), of
Philadelphia, Pensylvania has petitioned NHTSA to decide whether
nonconforming MY 2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide motorcycles are
eligible for importation into the United States. The vehicles which
Skytop Rover Co., Inc. believes are substantially similar are MY 2018
Harley Davidson Tri Glide motorcycles sold in the United States and
certified by their manufacturer as conforming to all applicable FMVSS
and are capable of being readily altered to conform to all applicable
FMVSS.
    Skytop Rover Co., Inc. submitted information with its petition
intended to demonstrate that non-U.S. certified MY 2018 Harley Davidson
Tri Glide motorcycles, as originally manufactured, conform to many
applicable FMVSS, or are capable of being readily altered to conform to
those standards. Specifically, the petitioner claims that the non-U.S.
certified MY 2018 Harley Davidson Tri Glide motorcycles, as originally
manufactured, conform to: FMVSS Nos. 106, Brake Hoses, 111, Rear
Visibility, 116, Motor Vehicle Brake Fluids, 119, New Pneumatic Tires
for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of More Than 4,536 kilograms (10,000
pounds) and Motorcycles, 122, Motorcycle Brake Systems, 123, Motorcycle
Controls and Displays, 205, Glazing Materials, and the requirements of
49 CFR part 565, Vehicle Identification Requirements.
    The petitioner also contends that the subject non-U.S. certified
vehicles are capable of being readily altered to meet the following
FMVSS, in the manner indicated:
    FMVSS No. 108, Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment:
Rear lamps, headlight, side and rear reflectors, and turn signal lenses
will need to be replaced. FMVSS No. 120, Tire Selection and Rims and
Motor Home/Recreation Vehicle Trailer Load Carrying Capacity
Information for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of More Than 4,536 kilograms
(10,000 pounds): A tire placard will be added.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), and (b)(1); 49
CFR 593.7; delegation of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.
