DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2051]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before December 15, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2051, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://

www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

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 Airbus SAS Model
A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2018 (83 FR 39377).
The NPRM was prompted by a report that during removal of LH gear rib 5,
four failed fasteners were discovered. The NPRM proposed to require a
one-time ultrasonic inspection of the LH and RH wing rib 5-to-rear spar
attachments for cracked or failed fasteners, and if necessary, a
detailed inspection of the gear rib 5 and spar web for cracks and
damage; a rotating probe test of the gear rib and spar web bolt holes
for cracks and damage; reaming the gear rib and the spar web bolt
holes; and replacement of cracked or failed fasteners.
    We are issuing this AD to address cracked or failed (broken)
fasteners (bolts) of the rib 5-to-rear spar attachment, which could
lead to reduced structural integrity of the wing.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2018-0102, dated April 27, 2018 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A321-111, -
112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, and -232 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During removal of the left hand (LH) rib 5, two of the fasteners
(bolts) attaching the rib to the wing inner rear spar were found to
have failed and two more failed during their removal. Two of the
bolts were found separated from the bolt shanks when the overcoat
sealant was being removed, and the other two bolt heads broke away
during removal.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce the
structural integrity of the wing.
    To address this possible unsafe condition, Airbus issued
[Service Bulletin] SB A320-57-1167 to provide inspection
instructions. After that SB was issued, a potential manufacturing
issue was identified on early production A321 [airplanes] concerning
reports of fasteners ``jamming'' during installation on spar
assemblies. A process change was introduced in production line, and
SB A320-57-1167 was revised, changing the affected population to
include all A321 aeroplanes delivered before the introduction of
that process change.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time special detailed [ultrasonic] inspection (SDI) of the wing rib
5-to-rear spar attachments, both LH and right hand (RH) wings, [and
if necessary, a detailed inspection of the gear rib 5 and spar web
for cracks and damage (cracks along the length of the bolt or broken
bolt), a rotating probe test of the gear rib and spar web bolt holes
for cracks and damage (cracks in the bolt holes), reaming the gear
rib and the spar web bolt holes] and, depending on findings,
accomplishment of a repair [replacement of cracked or failed
(broken) fasteners (bolts)]. This [EASA] AD also requires the
reporting of findings.

    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-2018-
0705.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule.

The following presents the comment received on the NPRM and the FAA's
response to each comment.

Request To Include Revised Service Information

    American Airlines (AAL) requested that we include Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-57-1167, Revision 02, dated August 14, 2018, as the
required source of service information for the proposed AD. AAL pointed
out that the revised service information was issued to add defueling/
access procedures in case of findings during the inspection. AAL also
mentioned that including the later revised service information would
reduce the number of future alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
approval requests.
    We agree with the commenter's request. We have included Airbus
Service Bulletin A320-57-1167, Revision 02, dated August 14, 2018, in
this AD. We have determined that no additional work is required for
compliance (RC) for airplanes that have accomplished the actions
specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A320-57-1167, Revision 01, dated
January 16, 2018. We have added paragraph (j) to this AD to provide
credit for actions done before the effective date of this AD in
accordance with Revision 01 of the referenced service information. We
have also redesignated subsequent paragraphs accordingly.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:

     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than
was already proposed in the NPRM.

    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus SAS has issued Service Bulletin A320-57-1167, Revision 02,
dated August 14, 2018. This service information describes procedures
for a one-time special detailed (ultrasonic) inspection of the LH and
RH wing rib 5-to-rear spar attachments for cracked or failed (broken)
fasteners (bolts), and if necessary, a detailed inspection of the gear-
rib-5 and spar web for cracks and damage (cracks along the length of
the bolt or broken bolt); a rotating probe test of the gear rib and
spar web bolt holes for cracks and damage (cracks in the bolt holes);
reaming the gear rib and the spar web bolt holes; and replacement of
the cracked or damaged (broken) fasteners (bolts).
    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 29 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                     Estimated Costs for Required Actions *
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,360........................              $0           $1,360          $39,440
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Table does not include estimated costs for reporting/revising the maintenance or inspection program.

    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the reporting requirement in this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of

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 AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD 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 AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Advisory committees provide independent, expert advice to FDA on a
range of issues affecting the public health. To protect the credibility
and integrity of advisory committee advice, FDA screens advisory
committee members carefully for two categories of potentially
disqualifying interests or relationships: (1) Current financial
interests that may create a recusal obligation under Federal conflict
of interest laws (18 U.S.C. 208) and (2) other interests and
relationships that do not create a recusal obligation under financial
conflict of interest laws but may create the appearance that the member
lacks impartiality (5 CFR 2635.502). This draft guidance addresses
FDA's process for evaluating whether an advisory committee member has
potentially disqualifying interests or relationships that fall into the
second category of interests, which are known as appearance issues,
under 5 CFR 2635.502. It also describes FDA's process for determining
whether to authorize a member with an appearance issue to participate
in an advisory committee meeting under 5 CFR 2635.502.
    In addition, FDA is seeking comment regarding public disclosure of
such authorizations. Under Federal laws protecting the confidentiality
of information, FDA may not itself disclose confidential information
provided by advisory committee members related to appearance issues.
FDA is soliciting comment on whether the agency should ask members with
appearance issues who are authorized to participate in an advisory
committee meeting to voluntarily publicly disclose authorization. The
Agency will consider these comments in developing the final guidance
document.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the Agency's current thinking on the
processes for evaluating appearance issues and granting an
authorization. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any
person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative
approach may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statute and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the draft guidance may do
so by downloading an electronic copy from the Internet at either http://www.fda.gov/RegulatoryInformation/Guidances/ucm122044.htm or http://www.regulations.gov.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The National Securities Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change To Modify Rule 52 (Mutual Fund Services) and Addendum A
(NSCC's Fee Structure)

November 5, 2012.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on October 22, 2012, the
National Securities Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
prepared primarily by NSCC. NSCC filed the proposal pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \2\ of the Act, Rule 19b-4(f)(2),\3\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(4)(i) \4\ thereunder so that the proposal was effective upon
filing with the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the rule change from interested parties.

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

    The proposed rule change modifies Rule 52 (Mutual Fund Services)
and Addendum A (NSCC's Fee Structure) of NSCC's Rules.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, NSCC 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. NSCC has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by NSCC.

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

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

    Pursuant to the rule change proposal, NSCC will (i) rename the
``Mutual Fund Commission Settlement'' service under Rule 52 (the
``Service'') as the ``DTCC Payment aXis'' service in order to better
align the name of the Service with the various commission and other fee
data transmission and payment settlement functionalities available
through the Service (i.e., not solely commission settlement), (ii) make
clear that the Service permits for the transmission of commission and
other fee related data, and the settlement of such payments, among
users of the Service without regard to whether the flow of funds is
from the fund company (``Fund'') to the retail broker-dealer
(``Distributor''), from the Distributor to the Fund, from a Distributor
to another Distributor, or otherwise, (iii) specify that commission and
other fee data transmission, and the settlement of such payments, with
regard to investor accounts held on an omnibus account basis at the
Fund (``Omnibus'') may be made through the Service, (iv) specify the
process for the payment of 12b-1 fees \6\ with regard to investor
accounts held in Omnibus, and (v) establish the fees that NSCC will
charge users of the Service with regard to investor accounts held in
Omnibus.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ This is a category of fees paid out by the Fund out of Fund
assets to cover distribution expenses and sometimes shareholder
service expenses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Background. The Service was initially approved by the Commission on
December 9, 1992 (``1992 Rule Filing'').\7\ In the 1992 Rule Filing,
NSCC described that the new service would provide for the automation of
payments of commissions owed in respect of mutual fund transactions,
explaining that under the new service, Funds would be able to transmit
commission debit data to NSCC on a daily basis. NSCC's role in this new
commission service would be to transmit data between the Funds (i.e.,
the payers of commission payments) and the Distributors (i.e., the
receivers of commission payments). In 2005 (``2005 Rule Filing''),\8\
NSCC expanded the scope of the Service to permit Distributors to submit
fee data through NSCC to other Distributors and to settle the fee
payments in respect thereof through NSCC, expanding the Service to
allow for more than the exchange of commission-related information from
the Funds to Distributors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-31579 (December 9,
1992), 57 FR 60018 (December 17, 1992).
    \8\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-52458 (September 16,
2005), 70 FR 56200 (September 26, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Proposed Rule Changes. There has been a growing trend in the
mutual fund industry toward omnibus processing, a practice pursuant to
which Distributors maintain a single account at a Fund, which account
represents multiple investor positions of that Distributor in that
Fund's securities. Where multiple investor positions are held in
Omnibus, the Distributor maintains the individual investor account
records on the Distributor's books and records. The trend toward
omnibus processing is anticipated to continue growing into the
foreseeable future; however, invoicing for the fees related to these
investor accounts is not standardized. The current state of fee
invoicing with regard to such investor accounts is manually intensive,
involving the exchange of reports and spreadsheets via fax, email, and
regular mail, and the settlement of payments thereof generally occurs
by check or wire. Due to the lack of standardization and automation,
the industry has sought NSCC's assistance to create a standardized file
for omnibus invoicing. As a result, NSCC has enhanced the Service's
functionality to permit for fee data transmission and settlement of
payments with regard to investor accounts held in Omnibus. By this
proposed rule change, NSCC seeks to do the following:
    a. Rename Service: The Service will be renamed ``DTCC Payment
aXis'' to better represent the broadened functionality of fee data
exchange and settlement capabilities offered by the Service today, as
opposed to its capabilities at initial implementation in 1992.
    b. Clarify Scope of Commission and other Fee Data Transmission and
Flow of Funds: Although the Service, as described in Rule 52, does not
specify from whom and to whom the transmission of commission and fee
related data, and settlement of such payments, may be made, the
previous rule filing descriptions do identify a specific flow. In the
1992 Rule Filing, the type of fee payment and the flow of data and
payments were specified to be commission data and settlements by the
Fund to the Distributors. The 2005 Rule Filing expanded the scope to
permit the transmission of other fee payment data and settlement
thereof by one Distributor to another Distributor. In the current rule
filing, NSCC seeks to make clear that the Service permits for the
transmission of commission and other fee related data, and the
settlement of such payments, among users of the Service without regard
to whether the flow of funds is from the Fund to the Distributor, from
the Distributor to the Fund, from a Distributor to another Distributor,
or otherwise.
    c. Specify Omnibus Invoicing within the Service: NSCC proposes to
specify in Rule 52 that the transmission of commission and other fee
data with regard to investor accounts held in Omnibus, and the
settlement of payments thereof, shall be included within the suite of
functionalities offered by the Service. In all events, the Fund or
Distributor being debited will either be the initiator of the
commission or other fee payment transaction, or will otherwise confirm
the debit that will be charged against its account.
    d. Specify 12b-1 Fee Payment Process with regard to Omnibus
Invoicing: NSCC will specify in Rule 52 the process for 12b-1 fee
payments with regard to investor accounts held in Omnibus. Unlike the
process applicable to all other commission and other fee payments
within the Service, 12b-1 fee payment instructions with regard to
investor accounts held in Omnibus in all events must be initiated by
the Distributor. When NSCC receives the 12b-1 fee payment instruction
with regard to these accounts, NSCC will transmit such instruction to
the contra-side Fund. The contra-side Fund will then either (i) confirm
or reject the payment instruction, or (ii) release settlement (either
with or without a confirmation). If NSCC receives a confirmation or
rejection instruction, NSCC will transmit such confirmation or
rejection to the initiating Distributor.
    e. Establish Fees to be charged by NSCC: NSCC proposes to update
Addendum A of its Rules and Procedures to incorporate the fees
associated with omnibus invoicing. The NSCC fees for omnibus invoicing
will be as follows:
    a. From 1 to 500,000 records $0.10 per 1 record.
    b. From 500,001 to 1,000,000 records $0.08 per 1 record.
    c. More than 1,000,000 records $0.06 per 1 record.
    d. Monthly Fee $500.
    As with all of NSCC's Mutual Fund Services, the Service is a non-
guaranteed service of NSCC and shall remain so after the effectiveness
of this proposed rule change.
    The proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act and the rules and regulations issued thereunder applicable to NSCC
because it will promote processing efficiencies between Funds and
Distributors, thereby facilitating the prompt and accurate processing
of commission and other fee related payment data

transmissions and settlement with respect to such payments.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NSCC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition.

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

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not been
solicited or received. NSCC will notify the Commission of any written
comments received by NSCC.

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

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) \9\ of the Act, Rule 19b-
4(f)(2),\10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4)(i) \11\ thereunder because it effects
changes in an existing service of NSCC that do not adversely affect the
safeguarding of securities or funds in the custody or control of NSCC
or for which NSCC is responsible and do not significantly affect the
respective rights or obligations of NSCC or persons using the service.
NSCC's Mutual Fund Services are non-guaranteed services, and therefore,
the funds in NSCC's control are not adversely affected by the proposed
rule change. Further, the proposed rule change does not provide any
greater or lesser rights to or obligations on either NSCC or the users
of the Service in comparison to the current rights and obligations of
the respective parties with regard to the Service as it is currently
offered. In addition, the proposed rule change establishes fees charged
by NSCC applicable only to members. The implementation date for the
proposals in this proposed rule change filing other than the change in
the Service's name will be December 1, 2012.

change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
