Airworthiness Directives; Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics (Formerly
Known as Saab AB, Saab Aerosystems) Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) airplanes. This AD
was prompted by the discovery of circuit breakers of unsuitable
strength that fail to protect the system from an overcurrent. This AD
requires replacing certain circuit breakers. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 2, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of October 2,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on May 22, 2017 (82 FR 23158) (``the NPRM'').
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0234, dated November 24, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model 340A (SAAB/SF340A) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Circuit breakers of an unsuitable strength have been found
installed on SAAB SF340A aeroplanes, failing in protecting the
system from an overcurrent.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to the overheating
of wires, possibly resulting in smoke or fire on the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Saab issued [service
bulletin] SB 340-33-058 (later revised) to provide instructions for
replacement of circuit breakers.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of circuit

breakers of unsuitable strength in the passenger reading light
system.

    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-2017-
0479.

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 correcting 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 Saab Service Bulletin 340-33-058, Revision 01, dated
October 21, 2016. The service information describes procedures for
replacing any circuit breaker having part number (P/N) MS3320-10
installed at position 2LJ (L25) and position 4LJ (L26) with a circuit
breaker having P/N MS3320-7-5. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 19 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with 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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes to
the Director of the System Oversight 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 that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

PART 211--[AMENDED]

Accordingly, Part 211 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations is
amended by adding Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112 to the table found
in Subpart B.

Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 112

    This staff accounting bulletin amends or rescinds portions of the
interpretive guidance included in the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series
in order to make the relevant interpretive guidance consistent with
current authoritative accounting and auditing guidance and Securities
and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') rules and regulations.
Specifically, the staff is updating the Series in order to bring
existing guidance into conformity with recent pronouncements by the
Financial Accounting Standards Board (``FASB''), namely, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2007), Business
Combinations (``Statement 141(R)''), and Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements (``Statement 160'').
    The following describes the changes made to the Staff Accounting
Bulletin Series that are presented at the end of this release:

1. Topic 2: Business Combinations

    a. Topic 2.A is retitled. It previously referred to the ``purchase
method,'' which is a term rendered obsolete by Statement 141(R). That
accounting method is now referred to as the ``Acquisition Method.''
    b. Topic 2.A.5 is removed. This topic provided guidance on
assigning acquisition cost to loans receivable acquired in a business
combination. In a business combination, Statement 141(R) requires an
entity to measure acquired receivables, including loans, at their
acquisition-date fair value. Paragraph A57 of Statement 141(R) provides
new guidance that precludes an acquirer from recognizing a separate
valuation allowance as of the acquisition date for assets acquired in a
business combination that are measured at their acquisition-date fair
values because the effects of uncertainty about future cash flows are
included in the fair value measure.
    c. Topic 2.A.6 is amended to conform to the requirement in
paragraph 59 of Statement 141(R) that acquisition-related costs be
accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred
and services are received, except for costs incurred to issue debt or
equity securities which are recognized in accordance with other
applicable generally accepted accounting principles (``GAAP'').
    d. Topic 2.A.7 is removed. This topic provided guidance on how an
acquirer should account for and disclose contingent liabilities that
have been assumed in a business combination. Statement 141(R), as
amended by FASB Staff Position 141(R)-1 (``FSP 141(R)-1''), provides
guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of assets and
liabilities arising from contingencies.
    e. Topic 2.A.8 is amended to remove the reference to Emerging
Issues Task Force (``EITF'') Issue No. 88-16, Basis in Leveraged Buyout
Transactions, which was superseded by Statement 141(R).
    f. Topic 2.A.9 is removed. This topic provided guidance on cash
flow estimates used to determine the fair value of a contingent
liability assumed in a business combination and referenced the need for
disclosures in Management's Discussion and Analysis (``MD&A'') for any
adjustments made to the historical financial statements of the acquired
entity. This guidance is no longer necessary because: Statement 141(R),
as amended by FSP 141(R)-1, provides guidance on the recognition,
measurement and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from
contingencies; Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (``Statement 157''), provides guidance on fair
value measurements; Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.154,
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, provides guidance on error
correction and disclosure; and Item 303 of Regulation S-K provides
guidance on MD&A disclosures.
    g. Topic 2.D is amended to remove the guidance on determining the
basis of properties in ``exchange offers'' (also referred to as ``roll-
ups'' or ``put-togethers''). This guidance is no longer necessary since
Statement 141(R) provides measurement guidance for business
combinations.

2. Topic 5: Miscellaneous Accounting

    a. Topic 5.E is amended to reflect the issuance of FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure
Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of
Indebtedness of Others (``FIN 45''), Statement 157, and Statement 160.
Topic 5.E (as modified) expresses the views of the staff regarding the
accounting for the divestiture of a subsidiary or other business
operation.
    b. Topic 5.H is removed. This topic provided guidance on the
accounting for the direct sale of unissued shares by a consolidated
subsidiary that resulted in a decrease in the parent's ownership
percentage without resulting in deconsolidation of the subsidiary.
Under this guidance, when an offering

takes the form of a subsidiary's direct sale of its unissued shares,
the parent could adopt an accounting policy whereby the amount in
excess of the parent's carrying value received may be reflected as a
gain in the parent's consolidated financial statements. Paragraphs 32
and 33 of Accounting Research Bulletin (``ARB'') 51, as amended by
Statement 160, provide new guidance on the accounting for a change in a
parent's ownership interest when the parent retains its controlling
financial interest. That guidance requires that changes in a parent's
ownership interest that do not result in deconsolidation shall be
accounted for as equity transactions. Therefore, no gain or loss shall
be recognized on the direct sale of unissued shares by a consolidated
subsidiary if the parent does not deconsolidate the subsidiary.
    c. Topic 5.J is amended, in response to Statement 160, to clarify
the basis of accounting for purchased assets and liabilities that
should be used to establish a new accounting basis when a substantially
wholly-owned subsidiary presents separate financial statements.
    d. Topic 5.U is removed. This topic provided guidance on the
recognition of gains in certain exchanges in which the seller received
non-cash proceeds, such as securities issued by the buyer, as
consideration for the assets transferred. This guidance is no longer
necessary due to the issuance of FIN 45, Statement 157, and Statement
160.

3. Topic 6: Interpretations of Accounting Series Releases and Financial
Reporting Releases

    Topic 6.G.1.a and 2.a is amended to conform terminology to the
Technical Amendments to Rules, Forms, Schedules and Codification of
Financial Reporting Policies [Release Nos. 33-9026; 34-59775; FR-79
(April 15, 2009)] that the Commission adopted to conform to Statement
141(R) and Statement 160.
    Accordingly, the staff hereby amends the Staff Accounting Bulletin
Series as follows:

    Note: The text of SAB 112 will not appear in the Code of Federal
Regulations.

Topic 2: Business Combinations

A. Acquisition Method

* * * * *
5. Removed by SAB 112
6. Debt Issue Costs
    Facts: Company A is to acquire the net assets of Company B in a
transaction to be accounted for as a business combination. In
connection with the transaction, Company A has retained an investment
banker to provide advisory services in structuring the acquisition and
to provide the necessary financing. It is expected that the acquisition
will be financed on an interim basis using ``bridge financing''
provided by the investment banker. Permanent financing will be arranged
at a later date through a debt offering, which will be underwritten by
the investment banker. Fees will be paid to the investment banker for
the advisory services, the bridge financing, and the underwriting of
the permanent financing. These services may be billed separately or as
a single amount.
    Question 1: Should total fees paid to the investment banker for
acquisition-related services and the issuance of debt securities be
allocated between the services received?
     Interpretive Response: Yes. Fees paid to an investment banker in
connection with a business combination or asset acquisition, when the
investment banker is also providing interim financing or underwriting
services, must be allocated between acquisition related services and
debt issue costs.
    When an investment banker provides services in connection with a
business combination or asset acquisition and also provides
underwriting services associated with the issuance of debt or equity
securities, the total fees incurred by an entity should be allocated
between the services received on a relative fair value basis. The
objective of the allocation is to ascribe the total fees incurred to
the actual services provided by the investment banker.
    Statement 141(R) provides guidance for the portion of the costs
that represent acquisition-related services. The portion of the costs
pertaining to the issuance of debt or equity securities should be
accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP.
     Question 2: May the debt issue costs of the interim ``bridge
financing'' be amortized over the anticipated combined life of the
bridge and permanent financings?
    Interpretive Response: No. Debt issue costs should be amortized by
the interest method over the life of the debt to which they relate.
Debt issue costs related to the bridge financing should be recognized
as interest cost during the estimated interim period preceding the
placement of the permanent financing with any unamortized amounts
charged to expense if the bridge loan is repaid prior to the expiration
of the estimated period. Where the bridged financing consists of
increasing rate debt, the consensus reached in EITF Issue 86-15,
Increasing Rate Debt, should be followed.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ As noted in the ``Status'' section of the Abstract to Issue
86-15, the term-extending provisions of the debt instrument should
be analyzed to determine whether they constitute an embedded
derivative requiring separate accounting in accordance with
Statement 133 (as amended).

8. Business Combinations Prior to an Initial Public Offering
    Facts: Two or more businesses combine in a single combination just
prior to or contemporaneously with an initial public offering.
    Question: Does the guidance in SAB Topic 5.G apply to business
combinations entered into just prior to or contemporaneously with an
initial public offering?
    Interpretive Response: No. The guidance in SAB Topic 5.G is
intended to address the transfer, just prior to or contemporaneously
with an initial public offering, of nonmonetary assets in exchange for
a company's stock. The guidance in SAB Topic 5.G is not intended to
modify the requirements of Statement 141(R). Accordingly, the staff
believes that the combination of two or more businesses should be
accounted for in accordance with Statement 141(R).

D. Financial Statements of Oil and Gas Exchange Offers

    Facts: The oil and gas industry has experienced periods of time
where there have been a significant number of ``exchange offers'' (also
referred to as ``roll-ups'' or ``put-togethers'') to form a publicly
held company, take an existing private company public, or increase the
size of an existing publicly held company. An exchange offer
transaction involves a swap of shares in a corporation for interests in
properties, typically limited partnership interests. Such interests
could include direct interests such as working interests and royalties
related to developed or undeveloped properties and indirect interests
such as limited partnership interests or shares of existing oil and gas
companies. Generally, such transactions are structured to be tax-free
to the individual or entity trading the property interest for shares of
the corporation. Under certain circumstances, however, part or all of
the transaction may be taxable. For purposes of the discussion in this
Topic, in each of these situations, the entity (or entities) or
property (or properties) are deemed to constitute a business.

    One financial reporting issue in exchange transactions involves
deciding which prior financial results of the entities should be
reported.
    Question 1: In Form 10-K filings with the Commission, the staff has
permitted limited partnerships to omit certain of the oil and gas
reserve value information and the supplemental summary of oil and gas
activities disclosures required by Statement 69 in some circumstances.
Is it permissible to omit these disclosures from the financial
statements included in an exchange offering?
    Interpretive Response: No. Normally full disclosures of reserve
data and related information are required. The exemptions previously
allowed relate only to partnerships where value-oriented data are
otherwise available to the limited partners pursuant to the partnership
agreement. The staff has previously stated that it will require all of
the required disclosures for partnerships which are the subject of
exchange offers.\13\ These disclosures may, however, be presented on a
combined basis if the entities are under common control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See SAB 40, Topic 12.A.3.c.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The staff believes that the financial statements in an exchange
offer registration statement should provide sufficient historical
reserve quantity and value-based disclosures to enable offerees and
secondary market public investors to evaluate the effect of the
exchange proposal. Accordingly, in all cases, it will be necessary to
present information as of the latest year-end on reserve quantities and
the future net revenues associated with such quantities. In certain
circumstances, where the exchange is accounted for using the
acquisition method of accounting, the staff will consider, on a case-
by-case basis, granting exemptions from (i) the disclosure requirements
for year-to-year reconciliations of reserve quantities, and (ii) the
requirements for a summary of oil and gas producing activities and a
summary of changes in the net present value of reserves. For instance,
the staff may consider requests for exemptions in cases where the
properties acquired in the exchange transaction are fully explored and
developed, particularly if the management of the emerging company has
not been involved in the exploration and development of such
properties.
    Question 2: If the exchange company will use the full cost method
of accounting, does the full cost ceiling limitation apply as of the
date of the financial statements reflecting the exchange?
    Interpretive Response: Yes. The full cost ceiling limitation on
costs capitalized does apply. However, as discussed under Topic 12.D.3,
the Commission has stated that in unusual circumstances, registrants
may request an exemption if as a result of a major purchase, a write-
down would be required even though it can be demonstrated that the fair
value of the properties clearly exceeds the unamortized costs.
    Question 3: How should ``common control accounting'' be applied to
the specific assets and liabilities of the new exchange company?
    Interpretive Response: Consistent with SAB Topic 12.C.2, under
``common control accounting'' the various accounting methods followed
by the offeree entities should be conformed to the methods adopted by
the new exchange company. It is not appropriate to combine assets and
liabilities accounted for on different bases. Accordingly, all of the
oil and gas properties of the new entity must be accounted for on the
same basis (either full cost or successful efforts) applied
retrospectively.
    Question 4: What pro forma financial information is required in an
exchange offer filing?
    Interpretive Response: The requirements for pro forma financial
information in exchange offer filings are the same as in any other
filings with the Commission and are detailed in Article 11 of
Regulation S-X.\14\ Rule 11-02(b) specifies the presentation
requirements, including periods presented and types of adjustments to
be made. The general criteria of Rule 11-02(b)(6) are that pro forma
adjustments should give effect to events that are (i) directly
attributable to the transaction, (ii) expected to have a continuing
impact on the registrant, and (iii) factually supportable. In the case
of an exchange offer, such adjustments typically are made to:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ As announced in Financial Reporting Release No. 2 (July 9,
1982).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) Show varying levels of acceptance of the offer.
    (2) Conform the accounting methods used in the historical financial
statements to those to be applied by the new entity.
    (3) Recompute the depreciation, depletion and amortization charges,
in cases where the new entity will use full-cost accounting, on a
combined basis. If this computation is not practicable, and the
exchange offer is accounted for as a transaction among entities under
common control, historical depreciation, depletion and amortization
provisions may be aggregated, with appropriate disclosure.
    (4) Reflect the acquisition in the pro forma statements where the
exchange offer is accounted for using the acquisition method of
accounting, including depreciation, depletion and amortization based on
the measurement guidance in Statement 141(R).
    (5) Provide pro forma reserve information comparable to the
disclosures required by paragraphs 10 through 17 and 30 through 34 of
SFAS 69.
    (6) Reflect significant changes, if any, in levels of operations
(revenues or costs), or in income tax status and to reflect debt
incurred in connection with the transaction.
    In addition, the depreciation, depletion and amortization rate
which will apply for the initial period subsequent to consummation of
the exchange offer should be disclosed.
    Question 5: Are there conditions under which the presentation of
other than full historical financial statements would be acceptable?
    Interpretive Response: Generally, full historical financial
statements as specified in Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X are
considered necessary to enable offerees and secondary market investors
to evaluate the transaction. Where securities are being registered to
offer to the security holders (including limited partners and other
ownership interests) of the businesses to be acquired, such financial
statements are normally required pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-
X, either individually for each entity or, where appropriate,
separately for the offeror and on a combined basis for other entities,
generally excluding corporations. However, certain exceptions may apply
as explained in the outline below:

A. Acquisition Method Accounting

    1. If the registrant can demonstrate that full historical financial
statements of the offeree businesses are not reasonably available, the
staff may permit presentation of audited Statements of Combined Gross
Revenues and Direct Lease Operating Expenses for all years for which an
income statement would otherwise be required. In these circumstances,
the registrant should also disclose in an unaudited footnote the
amounts of total exploration and development costs, and general and
administrative expenses along with the reasons why presentation of full
historical financial statements is not practicable.
    2. The staff will consider requests to waive the requirement for
prior year

financial statements of the offerees and instead allow presentation of
only the latest fiscal year and interim period, if the registrant can
demonstrate that the prior years' data would not be meaningful because
the offerees had no material quantity of production.

B. Common Control Accounting

    The staff would expect that the full historical financial
statements as specified in Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X would
be included in the registration statement for exchange offers accounted
for as transactions among entities under common control, including all
required supplemental reserve information. The presentation of
individual or combined financial statements would depend on the
circumstances of the particular exchange offer.
    Registrants are also reminded that wherever historical results are
presented, it may be appropriate to explain the reasons why historical
costs are not necessarily indicative of future expenditures.

E. Accounting for Divestiture of a Subsidiary or Other Business
Operation

    Facts: Company X transferred certain operations (including several
subsidiaries) to a group of former employees who had been responsible
for managing those operations. Assets and liabilities with a net book
value of approximately $8 million were transferred to a newly formed
entity--Company Y--wholly owned by the former employees. The
consideration received consisted of $1,000 in cash and interest bearing
promissory notes for $10 million, payable in equal annual installments
of $1 million each, plus interest, beginning two years from the date of
the transaction. The former employees possessed insufficient assets to
pay the notes and Company X expected the funds for payments to come
exclusively from future operations of the transferred business. Company
X remained contingently liable for performance on existing contracts
transferred and agreed to guarantee, at its discretion, performance on
future contracts entered into by the newly formed entity. Company X
also acted as guarantor under a line of credit established by Company
Y.
    The nature of Company Y's business was such that Company X's
guarantees were considered a necessary predicate to obtaining future
contracts until such time as Company Y achieved profitable operations
and substantial financial independence from Company X.
    Question: If deconsolidation of the subsidiaries and business
operations is appropriate, can Company X recognize a gain?
    Interpretive Response: Before recognizing any gain, Company X
should identify all of the elements of the divesture arrangement and
allocate the consideration exchanged to each of those elements. In this
regard, we believe that Company X would recognize the guarantees at
fair value in accordance with FIN 45, Guarantor's Accounting and
Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees
of the Indebtedness of Others; the contingent liability for performance
on existing contracts in accordance with Statement 5, Accounting for
Contingencies; and the promissory notes in accordance with APB 21,
Interest on Receivables and Payables, and Statements 114, Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and 118, Accounting by Creditors
for Impairment of a Loan--Income Recognition and Disclosures.

J. New Basis of Accounting Required in Certain Circumstances

    Facts: Company A (or Company A and related persons) acquired
substantially all of the common stock of Company B in one or a series
of purchase transactions.
    Question 1: Must Company B's financial statements presented in
either its own or Company A's subsequent filings with the Commission
reflect the new basis of accounting arising from Company A's
acquisition of Company B when Company B's separate corporate entity is
retained?
    Interpretive Response: Yes. The staff believes that purchase
transactions that result in an entity becoming substantially wholly
owned (as defined in Rule 1-02(aa) of Regulation S-X) establish a new
basis of accounting for the purchased assets and liabilities.
    When the form of ownership is within the control of the parent, the
basis of accounting for purchased assets and liabilities should be the
same regardless of whether the entity continues to exist or is merged
into the parent's operations. Therefore, Company B's separate financial
statements should reflect the new basis of accounting recorded by
Company A upon acquisition (i.e., ``pushed down'' basis).
    Question 2: What is the staff's position if Company A acquired less
than substantially all of the common stock of Company B or Company B
had publicly held debt or preferred stock at the time Company B became
wholly owned?
    Interpretive Response: The staff recognizes that the existence of
outstanding public debt, preferred stock or a significant
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary might impact the parent's
ability to control the form of ownership. Although encouraging its use,
the staff generally does not insist on the application of push down
accounting in these circumstances.
    Question 3: Company A borrows funds to acquire substantially all of
the common stock of Company B. Company B subsequently files a
registration statement in connection with a public offering of its
stock or debt.\6\ Should Company B's new basis (``push down'')
financial statements include Company A's debt related to its purchase
of Company B?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The guidance in this SAB should also be considered for
Company B's separate financial statements included in its public
offering following Company B's spin-off or carve-out from Company A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Interpretive Response: The staff believes that Company A's debt,\7\
related interest expense, and allocable debt issue costs should be
reflected in Company B's financial statements included in the public
offering (or an initial registration under the Exchange Act) if: (1)
Company B is to assume the debt of Company A, either presently or in a
planned transaction in the future; (2) the proceeds of a debt or equity
offering of Company B will be used to retire all or a part of Company
A's debt; or (3) Company B guarantees or pledges its assets as
collateral for Company A's debt. Other relationships may exist between
Company A and Company B, such as the pledge of Company B's stock as
collateral for Company A's debt.\8\ While in this latter situation, it
may be clear that Company B's cash flows will service all or part of
Company A's debt, the staff does not insist that the debt be reflected
in Company B's financial statements providing there is full and
prominent disclosure of the relationship between Companies A and B and
the actual or potential cash flow commitment. In this regard, the staff

believes that Statements 5 and 57 as well as Interpretation 45 require
sufficient disclosure to allow users of Company B's financial
statements to fully understand the impact of the relationship on
Company B's present and future cash flows. Rule 4-08(e) of Regulation
S-X also requires disclosure of restrictions which limit the payment of
dividends.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The guidance in this SAB should also be considered where
Company A has financed the acquisition of Company B through the
issuance of mandatory redeemable preferred stock.
    \8\ The staff does not believe Company B's financial statements
must reflect the debt in this situation because in the event of
default on the debt by Company A, the debt holder(s) would only be
entitled to Company B's stock held by Company A. Other equity or
debt holders of Company B would retain their priority with respect
to the net assets of Company B.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Therefore, the staff believes that the equity section of Company
B's balance sheet and any pro forma financial information and
capitalization tables should clearly disclose that this arrangement
exists.\9\ Regardless of whether the debt is reflected in Company B's
financial statements, the notes to Company B's financial statements
should generally disclose, at a minimum: (1) The relationship between
Company A and Company B; (2) a description of any arrangements that
result in Company B's guarantee, pledge of assets \10\ or stock, etc.
that provides security for Company A's debt; (3) the extent (in the
aggregate and for each of the five years subsequent to the date of the
latest balance sheet presented) to which Company A is dependent on
Company B's cash flows to service its debt and the method by which this
will occur; and (4) the impact of such cash flows on Company B's
ability to pay dividends or other amounts to holders of its securities.
Additionally, the staff believes Company B's Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should
discuss any material impact of its servicing of Company A's debt on its
own liquidity pursuant to Item 303(a)(1) of Regulation S-K.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For example, the staff has noted that certain registrants
have indicated on the face of such financial statements (as part of
the stockholder's equity section) the actual or potential financing
arrangement and the registrant's intent to pay dividends to satisfy
its parent's debt service requirements. The staff believes such
disclosures are useful to highlight the existence of arrangements
that could result in the use of Company B's cash to service Company
A's debt.
    \10\ A material asset pledge should be clearly indicated on the
face of the balance sheet. For example, if all or substantially all
of the assets are pledged, the ``assets'' and ``total assets''
captions should include parenthetically: ``pledged for parent
company debt--See Note X.''

Financial Reporting.

1. Selected Quarterly Financial Data (Item 302(a) of Regulation S-K)
a. Disclosure of Selected Quarterly Financial Data
    Facts: Item 302(a)(1) of Regulation S-K requires disclosure of net
sales, gross profit, income before extraordinary items and cumulative
effect of a change in accounting, per share data based upon such income
(loss), net income (loss), and net income (loss) attributable to the
registrant for each full quarter within the two most recent fiscal
years and any subsequent interim period for which financial statements
are included. Item 302(a)(3) requires the registrant to describe the
effect of any disposals of components of an entity \11\ and
extraordinary, unusual or infrequently occurring items recognized in
each quarter, as well as the aggregate effect and the nature of year-
end or other adjustments which are material to the results of that
quarter. Furthermore, Item 302(a)(2) requires a reconciliation of
amounts previously reported on Form 10-Q to the quarterly data
presented if the amounts differ.

components of an entity as used in Item 302(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

* * * * *
2. Amendments to Form 10-Q
a. Form of Condensed Financial Statements
    Facts: Rules 10-01(a)(2) and (3) of Regulation S-X provide that
interim balance sheets and statements of income shall include only
major captions (i.e., numbered captions) set forth in Regulation S-X,
with the exception of inventories where data as to raw materials, work
in process and finished goods shall be included, if applicable, either
on the face of the balance sheet or in notes thereto. Where any major
balance sheet caption is less than 10% of total assets and the amount
in the caption has not increased or decreased by more than 25% since
the end of the preceding fiscal year, the caption may be combined with
others. When any major income statement caption is less than 15% of
average net income attributable to the registrant for the most recent
three fiscal years and the amount in the caption has not increased or
decreased by more than 20% as compared to the corresponding interim
period of the preceding fiscal year, the caption may be combined with
others. Similarly, the statement of cash flows may be abbreviated,
starting with a single figure of cash flows provided by operations and
showing other changes individually only when they exceed 10% of the
average of cash flows provided by operations for the most recent three
years.
    Question 1: If a company previously combined captions in a Form 10-
Q but is required to present such captions separately in the Form 10-Q
for the current quarter, must it retroactively reclassify amounts
included in the prior-year financial statements presented for
comparative purposes to conform with the captions presented for the
current-year quarter?
    Interpretive Response: Yes.
    Question 2: If a company uses the gross profit method or some other
method to determine cost of goods sold for interim periods, will it be
acceptable to state only that it is not practicable to determine
components of inventory at interim periods?
    Interpretive Response: The staff believes disclosure of inventory
components is important to investors. In reaching this decision, the
staff recognizes that registrants may not take inventories during
interim periods and that managements, therefore, will have to estimate
the inventory components. However, the staff believes that management
will be able to make reasonable estimates of inventory components based
upon their knowledge of the company's production cycle, the costs
(labor and overhead) associated with this cycle as well as the relative
sales and purchasing volume of the company.
    Question 3: If a company has years during which operations resulted
in a net outflow of cash and cash equivalents, should it exclude such
years from the computation of cash and cash equivalents provided by
operations for the three most recent years in determining what sources
and applications must be shown separately?
    Interpretive Response: Yes. Similar to the determination of average
net income, if operations resulted in a net outflow of cash and cash
equivalents during any year, such amount should be excluded in making
the computation of cash flow provided by operations for the three most
recent years unless operations resulted in a net outflow of cash and
cash equivalents in all three years, in which case the average of the

net outflow of cash and cash equivalents should be used for the test.

[Docket No. FAA-2016-9119; Airspace Docket No. 16-ANM-15]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Cedar City, UT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule, technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal descriptions for Class E surface
airspace and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface to
correct the airport name for Cedar City Regional Airport (formerly
Cedar City Municipal Airport), Cedar City, UT, and amends the airport
reference point (ARP) geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database. This action also changes the name of the VHF
Omnidirectional Range Distance Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) noted in
the Class E surface area airspace legal description to the Enoch VOR/
DME (formerly Cedar City VOR/DME). These changes do not affect the
charted boundaries or operating requirements of the airspace.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, March 2, 2017. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 amends Class E airspace descriptions at Cedar City Regional
Airport, Cedar City, UT.

History

    The FAA identified that Cedar City Regional Airport and the
geographic coordinates of the airport's ARP listed in the Class E
airspace legal descriptions above are not coincidental with the FAA's
aeronautical database. Also, in accordance with FAA policy, the FAA has
changed the Cedar City VOR/DME name to the Enoch VOR/DME, to avoid any
potential confusion resulting from an off-airport navigation aid with
the same name as the associated airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005,

respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part
71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A dated August 3, 2016, and
effective September 15, 2016, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in
the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends the legal descriptions for Class E surface area
airspace and Class E airspace upward from 700 feet above the surface to
correct the airport name to Cedar City Regional Airport, Cedar City,
UT, (formerly Cedar City Municipal Airport), and geographic coordinates
from (lat. 37[deg]42'06'' N., long. 113[deg]05'53'' W.) to (lat.
37[deg]42'03'' N., long. 113[deg]05'56'' W.) to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database. This action also corrects the navigation aid
noted in the Class E surface area airspace legal description from the
Cedar City VOR/DME to the Enoch VOR/DME. This is an administrative
change and does not affect the boundaries, altitudes, or operating
requirements of the airspace, therefore, notice and public procedure
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exists that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14518-000]

New England Hydropower Company, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 29, 2013, the New England Hydropower Company, LLC filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Lensdale Pond Dam Hydroelectric Project (Lensdale Dam Project or
project) to be located on Quinebaug River, near Southbridge, Worcester
County, Massachusetts. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) An
existing 21-foot-high, 433-foot-long earth embankment dam with a 154-
foot-long stone masonry spillway and 3.5-foot-high wooden flashboards;
(2) an existing 10.9-acre impoundment (Lensdale Pond) with an operating
elevation of about 416.7 feet above mean sea level; (3) an existing 31-
foot-long, 12.9-foot-wide, and 10-foot-deep head box and intake
channel; (4) a new 12-foot-high, 11-foot-wide hydraulically-powered
sluice gate equipped with a new 12-foot-high, 12-foot-wide trashrack
with 6-inch bar spacing; (5) a new 41-foot-long, 11.55-foot wide
Archimedes screw generator unit with an installed capacity of 185
kilowatts in a new 65-foot-long, 14.75-foot-wide concrete housing
structure; (6) a new 10-foot-high, 24-foot-long, 30-foot-wide concrete
powerhouse containing a new gearbox and electrical controls; (7) an
existing 850-foot-long, 30-foot-wide, and 4-foot-deep tailrace; (8) a
new above-ground 365-foot-long, 35-kilovolt transmission line
connecting the powerhouse to the Southbridge Power & Thermal's
distribution system; and (9) appurtenant facilities. The estimated
annual generation of the proposed Lensdale Dam Project would be about
870 megawatt-hours. The existing Lensdale Pond Dam is equipped with a
12-foot-high, 11-foot-wide flood gate that is controlled by the U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers. The existing Lensdale Pond Dam and appurtenant
works, including an existing powerhouse foundation and intake
structures, are owned by Southbridge Associates Limited Partnership.

    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB. This includes
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic
reports and results, and maintaining records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system
is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance
with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Rubber tire manufacturing plants
that commenced construction or modification after January 20, 1983.

at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

    Total estimated cost: $1,850,000 (per year), which includes $16,400
in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden and cost as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program
changes. The change in the respondent labor hour estimates occurred
because of a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing
respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements
each year.
