DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

Safety Advisory 2008-01

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Safety Advisory; damage to intermediate air hose
elbow connection on certain freight cars equipped with end-of-car
cushion devices.

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

SUMMARY: FRA's Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance Motive Power
and Equipment (MP&E) Division has been notified that certain freight
cars equipped with end-of-car cushioning (EOCC) devices may have damage
to a 90-degree elbow connected to the trainline angle cock.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Blankenship, Mechanical Engineer,
MP&E Division (RRS-14); FRA Office of Safety Assurance and Compliance,
1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590, telephone: (202)
493-6446.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On newly constructed freight cars, the air
brake trainline must pass the Association of American Railroads (AAR)
Standard S-471, Brake Pipe Restriction Test. This requirement is used
to verify the clear and open path of air to adequately operate the
train air brake system. The Brake Pipe Restriction Test requires that a
1-inch round nylon ball be transmitted through the trainline under air
pressure of 80 psi.
    The intermediate air hose arrangement, as shown in Rule 4, Figure
22 of the Field Manual of the AAR Interchange Rules, shows a 90-degree
swivel elbow connected to the angle cock. The intermediate air hose
(located between the angle cock and the standard air brake hose) has
this 90-degree elbow attached to the air hose end of the angle cock.
When cars are uncoupled while charged with air, the glad hand on the
standard air brake hose can (if not properly restrained) whip back and
strike the 90-degree elbow. The violent impact of the glad hand
striking this elbow causes the elbow to bend or flatten and
subsequently restrict the air flow. This bending or flattening of the
90-degree elbow, if uncorrected, can cause sticking brakes, wheel tread
buildup, and diminished capacity of the train air brake system. Freight
cars with bent or flattened 90-degree elbows are in violation of Title
49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) section 232.205(c)(3), which
states in part, ``air hoses shall be properly coupled and shall not
kink, bind, or foul or be in any other condition that restricts air
flow.''
    FRA has found damage to the intermediate air hose arrangement 90-
degree elbow on ATSF 621000-, ATSF 622000-, and BNSF 534000-series cars
owned by BNSF Railway (BNSF). BNSF has implemented an aggressive
program to address this issue on cars in their ownership by fleet
inspection and repair of cars found with damage to the 90-degree elbow.
    Additional cars that have been observed with this type of defect
include LW 42000-series box cars and TBOX 660000-series box cars.
    Recommended Action: Recognizing the need to ensure safety, FRA
recommends that railroads and car owners that operate freight cars
equipped with EOCC devices having intermediate air hoses with 90-degree
elbows subject to the damage described above initiate an inspection and
repair program to ensure cars are maintained in accordance with AAR
Interchange Rule 4, Figure 22, and that the trainline is not obstructed
or restricted.
    FRA may modify this Safety Advisory 2008-01, issue additional
safety advisories, or take other appropriate action necessary to ensure
the highest level of safety on the Nation's railroads.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on April 9, 2008.

Associate Administrator for Safety.

Methodology Used to Develop MOVES Inputs

MOVES inputs were developed in accordance with guidance provided in EPA document 420b12028, titled "Using MOVES to prepare EIs for SIP and Conformity". Discussions on these inputs are presented below.

Meteorology data used for this analysis was based on local information obtained from NOAA data at the Memphis International Airport (MIA) and was adapted for MOVES using the EPA conversion tool.

Temperature  -  The minimum and maximum daily temperature estimates of 73F and 97F, respectively, were derived from temperatures recorded over a three year period on the ten highest ozone exceedance days. These values have been relied upon in previous state implementation plans and were determined to be appropriate for use in the ozone season through the interagency consultation group (IAC) process.

Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)  -  7.8 pounds per square inch (psi) was used  as 40 CFR 80.270, titled "Controls and Prohibitions on Gasoline Volatility", indicates it is the ozone season regulatory maximum RVP  for Shelby County, Tennessee. This value has been relied upon in previous state implementation plans and was determined to be appropriate for use in ozone season through the interagency consultation group (IAC) process.

Humidity  -  In a pre-analysis consensus IAC discussion and as recorded in a May 17, 2013 memorandum (the document is located in Attachment II  -  Intergovernmental Consultation) of the plan revision), TDEC provided three-year average data from the MIA for the month of July, including hourly temperatures and relative humidity (see the table below). The consensus assumed the meteorological MIA data could be applied throughout the entire modeled area of Shelby County. Later, it was requested by the Department that the MPO use meteorological data (to include absolute humidity) in the 2014-2017 TIP and 2040 LRTP Conformity Demonstration, that had been used in the 2010 Shelby County Maintenance Plan for Ozone. However, the data introduced in the pre-analysis consensus was used to demonstrate conformity, which was acceptable, as the data was locally generated and therefore more representative than the MOVES default data.

Source Type Population: MOVES default was used as a starting point for all source types. The MOVES Technical Guidance offers guidance on how to leverage default population and VMT data alongside local VMT data to arrive at an estimate of the local population. This guidance suggests comparing the ratio of default source type population to default VMT to the local VMT to arrive at an estimate of local source type population. This methodology was applied for all analysis years. A growth rate was not applied, since growth is inherently built in through this methodology.

 Age Distribution: Used Shelby County, TN-specific data obtained from the UTK paper "Tennessee Traffic Data for Estimating Air Pollution Emissions in 2002"  and an EPA converter to change MOBILE6-formatted information to MOVES format.

Vehicle Type VMT and VMT Fractions: This data importer asks the user for the VMT in the study area by HPMS vehicle class type, hourly VMT distributions, daily VMT distributions, and monthly VMT distributions. The HPMS vehicle class VMT is asked for on an annual basis. To determine this information, data was pulled from available travel demand models or from regional HPMS data.

HPMS Vehicle Class VMT  -  The HPMS vehicle class VMT was determined using the pre-processor developed within the travel demand model. The travel demand model classifies vehicles into automobiles, single unit trucks, and combination unit trucks. The three vehicle classes in the model were divided into the six HPMS vehicle class types through the pre-processor. Since the travel demand model produces daily weekday volumes, the EPA conversion tool was used to convert these daily VMT numbers to annual values.

Daily VMT Fraction  -  The University of Tennessee developed county-specific daily VMT fractions, which were applied in this analysis. This information was provided in a format appropriate for use in MOVES.

Monthly VMT Fraction  -  The University of Tennessee developed county-specific monthly VMT fractions, which were applied in this analysis. This information was provided in a format appropriate for use in MOVES.

Hourly VMT Fraction  -  The hourly VMT fraction was determined using the pre-processor developed within the travel demand model. To produce the information needed for the MOVES input file, the three vehicle classes in the model were expanded to the 13 MOVES vehicle source types. In addition, the four time of day periods in the model were expanded to represent each hour of the day. The default mix of off-network hourly distribution percentages was used for all vehicle classes.

The following table displays the Shelby County annual VMT produced by the MOVES VMT converter by source type and by year.

Average Speed Distribution: The average speed distribution was determined using the pre-processor developed within the travel demand model. The vehicle classes in the model were expanded to the 13 MOVES vehicle source types, and the hourly distribution was expanded from the four time periods in the model to each hour of the day.

Road Type Distribution: The road type distribution was determined using the pre-processor developed within the travel demand model. The vehicle classes in the model were expanded to the 13 MOVES vehicle source types

Ramp Fraction: The ramp fractions were determined using the pre-processor developed within the travel demand model.

Fuel Supply and Fuel Formulation: MOVES default data for Shelby County (obtained from the MOVES program) was used for analysis year 2006. The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation developed fuel supply and fuel formulation data for Shelby County for all analysis years 2012 and newer.

Fueltype and Technologies/Alternative Fuel Vehicle Types: If no information is entered for AVFT, MOVES assumes a default mix of alternative fuels. The MOVES default mix assumes a small percentage of compressed natural gas (CNG) transit buses. Since there are no CNG buses in the transit fleet for Shelby County, the default value for this file was modified to reflect only diesel and gasoline fuel types.

Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Programs: The compliance factors in these files were adjusted to reflect not only participation within the City of Memphis, but also Shelby County as a whole. As stated in the EPA MOVES Technical guidance, this methodology can be used to avoid conducting two sets of runs that are then interpolated outside of MOVES.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report that bleed and air conditioning systems were
contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and an investigation revealed that
hydraulic fluid contaminations caused the failure of check valves
installed on the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization system. This
proposed AD would require repetitive functional tests of the hydraulic
reservoir air pressurization lines and repair or replacement, if
necessary, as specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) AD, which will be incorporated by reference. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019-0190, dated July 31, 2019
(``EASA AD 2019-0190'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A300 series airplanes.
    This proposed AD was prompted by a report that bleed and air
conditioning systems on an Airbus SAS Model A300-600 series airplane
were contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and an investigation revealed
that hydraulic fluid contaminations caused the failure of check valves
installed on the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization system. The
bleed and air conditioning systems on Model A300 series airplanes are
similar in design to the model on which the event occurred. Therefore,
Model A300 series airplanes are subject to the same unsafe condition.
The FAA is proposing this AD to address this condition, which, if not
detected and corrected, could lead to leakage of pressurization check
valves, and, in case of pressurization line rupture, to loss of a
hydraulic system, possibly resulting in reduced control of the
airplane. See the MCAI for additional background information.
    EASA also issued AD 2019-0188, dated July 31, 2019, to address the
identified unsafe condition for Airbus SAS Model A300-600 series
airplane. The FAA is considering further rulemaking to correspond with
EASA 2019-0188, dated July 31, 2019.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2019-0190 describes procedures for repetitive functional
tests of the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization lines and repair or
replacement, if necessary.
    This material 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.

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, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD because the agency
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2019-0190 described previously, as incorporated by
reference, except for any differences identified as exceptions in the
regulatory text of this AD. This proposed AD also would require sending
the inspection results to Airbus.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2019-0190
will be incorporated by reference in the FAA final rule. This proposed
AD would therefore require compliance with EASA AD 2019-0190 in its
entirety, through that incorporation, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.
Using common terms that are the same as the heading of a particular
section in the EASA AD does not mean that operators need comply only
with that section. For example, where the AD requirement refers to
``all required actions and compliance times,'' compliance with this AD
requirement is not limited to the section titled ``Required Action(s)
and Compliance Time(s)'' in the EASA AD. Service information specified
in EASA AD 2019-0190 that is required for compliance with EASA AD 2019-
0190 will be available on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0722 after the FAA final
rule is published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 1 airplane of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this
proposed AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hours x $85 per hour = $170...........................              $0             $170             $170
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting.

    The FAA estimates that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the proposed reporting requirement in this proposed AD.
The average labor rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, the FAA
estimates the cost of reporting the inspection results on U.S.
operators to be $85.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours x $85 per hour = $255....         $10,000          $10,255
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this NPRM is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this NPRM has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this NPRM is mandatory. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or
any other aspect of this collection of information, including
suggestions for reducing this burden to: Information Collection
Clearance Officer, Federal Aviation Administration, 10101 Hillwood
Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177-1524.

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.
    The FAA is 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 proposed 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 and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

systems were contaminated by hydraulic fluid, and an investigation
revealed that hydraulic fluid contaminations caused the failure of
check valves installed on the hydraulic reservoir air pressurization
system. The FAA is issuing this AD to address this condition, which,
if not detected and corrected, could lead to leakage of the
pressurization check valves, and, in case of pressurization line
rupture, to loss of a hydraulic system, possibly resulting in
reduced control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,

(g) Requirements

    Except as specified in paragraph (h) of this AD: Comply with all
required actions and compliance times specified in, and in
accordance with, European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD
2019-0190, dated July 31, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0190'').

(h) Exceptions to EASA AD 2019-0190

    For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of
this AD:
    (1) Where EASA AD 2019-0190 refers to its effective date, this
AD requires using the effective date of this AD.
    (2) The ``Remarks'' section of EASA AD 2019-0190 does not apply
to this AD.
    (3) Paragraph (4) of EASA AD 2019-0190 specifies to report
accomplishment of each test and any repair or replacement to Airbus
within a certain compliance time. For this AD, report that action at
the applicable time specified in paragraph (h)(3)(i) or (ii) of this
AD.
    (i) If the action was done on or after the effective date of
this AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the inspection.
    (ii) If the action was done before the effective date of this
AD: Submit the report within 30 days after the effective date of
this AD.

(i) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA,

has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR
39.19, send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any

approval must include the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): For any service information
referenced in EASA AD 2019-0190 that contains RC procedures and
tests: Except as required by paragraph (i)(2) of this AD, RC
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any
procedures or tests that are not identified as RC are recommended.
Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.
    (4) Paperwork Reduction Act Burden Statement: A federal agency
may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond
to, nor shall a person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply
with a collection of information subject to the requirements of the
Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of information
displays a current valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number
for this information collection is 2120-0056. Public reporting for
this collection of information is estimated to be approximately 1
hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions,
completing and reviewing the collection of information. All
responses to this collection of information are mandatory. Send

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Y, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective
September 15, 2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y 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 to amend Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at Greenville Downtown Airport,
Greenville, SC. Airspace reconfiguration to within a 9.3-mile radius of
the airport is necessary to support new Standard Instrument Approach
Procedures developed at Greenville Downtown Airport, and for continued
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic
coordinates of the airport would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs
aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Y, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It,

therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.
    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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would amend Class E airspace at Greenville
Downtown Airport, Greenville, SC.
    This proposal would be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-81406; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2017-081]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Implementation
Date for Certain Changes to the Rule 5700 Series and Rule 5810

August 16, 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 August 7, 2017, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend the date on which certain changes
concerning the continued listing requirements for exchange-traded
products (``ETPs'') in the Nasdaq Rule 5700 Series, as well as a
related amendment to Nasdaq Rule 5810 (Notification of Deficiency by
the Listing Qualifications Department), are implemented.
    The Exchange proposes to delay the implementation date of these
changes until July 1, 2018. Given the scope of the proposed rule
changes, the Exchange believes that this will ensure that ETP issuers
have adequate time to develop and put into operation the new processes
and systems necessitated by them.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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. The Exchange 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
    On September 30, 2016, the Exchange filed a proposed rule change,
as subsequently amended by Amendments No. 1 and 2 thereto, and as
supplemented by two clean-up filings \3\ (as amended and supplemented,
collectively, the ``Proposed Rule Change''), to adopt certain changes
to the Nasdaq Rule 5700 Series, as well as a related amendment to
Nasdaq Rule 5810 (Notification of Deficiency by the Listing
Qualifications Department), to add additional continued listing
standards for ETPs, as well as clarify the procedures that the Exchange
will undertake when an ETP is noncompliant with applicable rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 79081 (Oct. 11,
2016), 81 FR 71548 (Oct. 17, 2016) (SR-NASDAQ-2016-135); see also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80708 (May 17, 2017), 82 FR
23690 (May 23, 2017) (SR-NASDAQ-2017-040); see also Securities
Exchange Act Release No. 80810 (May 30, 2017), 82 FR 26205 (June 6,
2017) (SR-NASDAQ-2017-052).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On May 3, 2017, the Exchange filed to extend the implementation
date from August 1, 2017 until October 1, 2017.\4\ The Exchange now
proposes to extend the implementation date of the amendments specified
in the Proposed Rule Change to July 1, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 80708 (May 17,
2017), 82 FR 23690 (May 23, 2017) (SR-NASDAQ-2017-040).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the Proposed Rule Change was approved, the Exchange has
engaged in extensive conversations with issuers of listed ETPs,
industry advocacy groups and index providers to discuss the new rule
requirements and offer guidance on rule interpretation and
application.\5\ As a result of these conversations, ETP issuers have
expressed concern about their ability to have in place systems and
procedures to ensure compliance by the current October 1, 2017
implementation date. In particular, listed ETP issuers, and industry
advocacy groups on their behalf, have explained that issuers will
require time to design and test new compliance systems as well as
engage in discussions with third-party providers to source and track
new data elements required for rule compliance.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In addition to submitting the index components to the
Exchange on a quarterly basis, the Exchange believes that it would
be appropriate for issuers to review the index components for
compliance with the continued listing requirements in connection
with index rebalances, reconstitutions, or other material changes to
the index components.
    \6\ See, for example, Letter, dated July 11, 2017, from Dorothy
Donohue, Acting General Counsel, Investment Company Institute to
Brent J. Fields, Secretary, Securities and Exchange Commission,
available at https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-nasdaq-2016-135/nasdaq2016135-1846208-155175.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes it is appropriate to extend the
implementation date of the Proposed Rule Change to July 1, 2018 to
provide listed ETP issuers with the time needed to develop and test
their compliance procedures. In support of its proposal, the Exchange
notes that the Proposed Rule Change imposes significant new compliance
requirements on issuers that they have not been subject to previously.
To meet these new compliance requirements, issuers must develop
internal systems as well as coordinate with third-party service
providers, such as index providers, to develop procedures by which they
can obtain essential data. Listed issuers have informed the Exchange
that they are unable to complete this extensive project by the pending
October 1, 2017 implementation date. The Exchange believes that it is
critical for listed ETP issuers to have the appropriate procedures and
systems in place to monitor and evidence ETP compliance with the new
continued listing rules before such rules are implemented. Therefore,
the Exchange proposes to extend the implementation date for the
Proposed Rule Change until July 1, 2018.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b) of the Act,\7\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\8\ in particular, in that it is designed to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the protection of investors because it will enable listed issuers
to have the systems and procedures needed to monitor and evidence
compliance with the Proposed Rule Change prior to such rule being
implemented. Providing

listed issuers with additional time to ensure that they have adequate
compliance systems in place furthers the protection of investors and
the public interest because it will enhance investor confidence that
listed issuers are complying with Exchange rules.
    For these reasons, Nasdaq believes the proposed rule change is
consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The Exchange
believes that the proposed rule change will facilitate listed issuer
ability to monitor and evidence compliance with approved continued
listing rules by providing issuers with additional time to develop and
test their internal systems and procedures prior to the implementation
date.

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

    The Exchange received a copy of a letter from the Investment
Company Institute, on behalf of listed ETP issuers, to the SEC.\9\ As
described in Item 3 [sic], above, the Investment Company Institute
detailed challenges that listed ETP issuers are facing in developing
compliance systems to address the amendments contained in the Proposed
Rule Change and have requested that the implementation date for such
amendments be extended to July 1, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Footnote 6, infra. [sic]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    Within 45 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period up to 90 days (i) as the
Commission may designate if it finds such longer period to be

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is revising airworthiness directive (AD) 2014-07-04
that published in the Federal Register to correct certain errors. AD
2014-07-04 applied to certain Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters. The
range of serial numbers in the Applicability section and a reference to
the service information in the Required Actions section of the
regulatory text are incorrect. This document corrects those errors. In
all other respects, the original document remains the same.

DATES: This final rule is effective September 30, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain document listed in this AD as of May 1, 2014 (79
FR 21385, April 16, 2014).
    We must receive comments on this AD by November 14, 2014.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    AD 2014-07-04, Amendment 39-17818 (79 FR 21385, April 16, 2014),
applied to certain Sikorsky Model S-92A helicopters and required, in
part, repetitively inspecting each clamp for correct installation. Due
to typographical errors when the AD was published, an incorrect serial
number and an incorrect reference to the service information appeared
in the text of the rule.
    Specifically, AD 2014-07-04 included the following under paragraph
(a) in the Applicability section: ``This AD applies to Model S-92A
helicopters, serial numbers 92006 through 920084, certificated in any
category.'' As published, the reference to serial number ``92006'' is
incorrect and should be serial number ``920006.''
    AD 2014-07-04 also included the following under paragraph (e)(2) in
the Required Actions section: ``(2) Within 5 hours TIS, inspect each
clamp for correct installation as shown in Figures 1 through 14 of
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service Bulletin No. 92-20-001,
dated October 27, 2005 (ASB). If clamps are incorrectly installed or
missing, before further flight, install clamps by following the
Accomplishment Instructions, paragraphs 3.A.(4) through 3.A.(17) of the
ASB.'' As published, the reference to ``Figures 1 through 14'' is
incorrect because there are only 13 figures in the service information.
    The FAA has determined that it is appropriate to take action to
revise AD 2014-07-04 to correct the serial numbers and figure
reference. This revision ensures that this AD only applies to those
aircraft subject to the unsafe condition and that it is possible for
operators to comply with the AD by referencing the correct portions of
the service information.
    No other part of the preamble or regulatory information has been
changed. The final rule is being reprinted in its entirety for the
convenience of affected operators.

Impact of the Correction

    Since this action reduces the number of helicopters to which the AD
is applicable and corrects an obvious error in referencing the service
information, it has no adverse economic impact and imposes no
additional burden on any person. Therefore, we find that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC 725X (Mandatory Reliability Standards: Voltage and
Reactive (VAR) Standards).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0278.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725X information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: Pursuant to Section 215 of the Federal Power Act
(FPA),\1\ North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC)
established the Voltage and Reactive (``VAR'') group of Reliability
Standards, which consists of two continent-wide Reliability Standards,
VAR-001-5 and VAR-002-4.1. NERC conducts periodic reviews of
Reliability Standards in accordance with Section 317 of the NERC Rules
of Procedure and Section 13 of the NERC Standard Processes Manual. In
accordance with these authorities and the NERC Reliability Standards
Development Plan: 2017-2019, NERC recently completed Project 2016-EPR-
02 Enhanced Periodic Review of Voltage and Reactive Reliability
Standards. This project conducted a periodic review of mandatory and
enforceable Reliability Standards VAR-001-4.1 (Voltage and Reactive
Control) \2\ and VAR-002-4 (Generator Operation for Maintaining Network
Schedules).\3\ These two standards were designed to maintain voltage
stability on the Bulk-Power System, protect transmission, generation,
distribution, and customer equipment, and support the reliable
operation of the Bulk-Power System. Voltage stability is the ability of
a power system to maintain acceptable voltage levels throughout the
system under normal operating conditions and following a disturbance.
Failure to maintain acceptable voltage levels (i.e., voltage levels
become too high or too low) may cause violations of System Operating
Limits (``SOLs'') and Interconnection Reliability Operating Limits
(``IROLs''), result in damage to Bulk-Power System equipment, and
thereby threaten the reliable operation of the Bulk-Power System.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824o (2012).
    \2\ The Commission approved Reliability Standard VAR-001-4
(Voltage and Reactive Control) on August 1, 2014. See North American
Electric Reliability Corp., Docket No. RD14-11-000 (Aug. 1, 2014)
(delegated letter order). The Commission approved errata version
VAR-001-4.1 on November 13, 2015. See North American Electric
Reliability Corp., Docket No. RD15-6-000 (Nov. 13, 2015) (delegated
letter order).
    \3\ The Commission approved Reliability Standard VAR-002-4,
which clarified the applicability of the VAR-002 standard to
dispersed generation resources, on May 29, 2015. See North American
Electric Reliability Corp, 151 FERC ] 61,186 (May 29, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reliability Standard VAR-001-5

    This Reliability Standard requires Transmission Operators to:
     Specify a system-wide voltage schedule (which is either a
range or a target value with an associated tolerance band) as part of
its plan to operate within SOLs and IROLs, and to provide the voltage
schedule to its Reliability Coordinator and adjacent Transmission
Operators upon request (Requirement R1);
     Schedule sufficient reactive resources to regulate voltage
levels (Requirement R2);
     Operate or direct the operation of devices to regulate
transmission voltage and reactive flows (Requirement R3);
     Develop a set of criteria to exempt generators from
certain requirements under Reliability Standard VAR-002-4.1 related to
voltage or Reactive Power schedules, automatic voltage regulations, and
notification (Requirement R4);
     Specify a voltage or Reactive Power schedule (which is
either a range or a target value with an associated tolerance band) for
generators at either the high or low voltage side of the generator
step-up transformer, provide the schedule to the associated Generator
Operator, direct the Generator Operator to comply with that schedule in
automatic voltage control mode, provide the Generator Operator the
notification requirements for deviating from the schedule, and, if
requested, provide the Generator Operator the criteria used to develop
the schedule (Requirement R5); and
     Communicate step-up transformer tap changes, the time
frame for completion, and the justification for these changes to
Generator Owners (Requirement R6).

Reliability Standard VAR-002-4.1

    This Reliability Standard includes an information collection
activity for ``Requirement R1'' and a separate information collection
activity for ``Requirements R2 through R6.''
    This Reliability Standard requires Generator Operators to:
     Operate each of its generators connected to the
interconnected transmission system in automatic voltage control mode or
in a different control mode as instructed by the Transmission Operator,
unless the Generator Operator (1) is exempted pursuant to the criteria
developed under VAR-001-5, Requirement R4, or (2) makes certain
notifications to the Transmission Operator specifying the

reasons it cannot so operate (Requirement R1);
     Maintain the Transmission Operator's generator voltage or
Reactive Power schedule, unless the Generator Operator (1) is exempted
pursuant to the criteria developed under VAR-001-5, Requirement R4, or
(2) complies with the notification requirements for deviations as
established by the Transmission Owner pursuant to VAR-001-5,
Requirement R5 (Requirement R2);
     Notify the Transmission Operator of a change in status of
its voltage controlling device within 30 minutes, unless the status is
restored within that time period (Requirement R3); and
     Notify the Transmission Operator of a change in reactive
capability due to factors other than those described in VAR-002-4.1,
Requirement R3 within 30 minutes unless the capability has been
restored during that time period (Requirement R4).
     Provide information on its step-up transformers and
auxiliary transformers within 30 days of a request from the
Transmission Operator or Transmission Planner (Requirement R5); and
     Comply with the Transmission Operator's step-up
transformer tap change directives unless compliance would violate
safety, an equipment rating, or applicable laws, rules or regulations
(Requirement R6).
    The 60-day notice was published to the Federal Register on March
31, 2021 and received no comments.
    Type of Respondents: Generator operators and Transmission
Operators.
