Adequacy Status of the Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets for
Metropolitan Washington DC Area (DC-MD-VA) 1997 8-Hour Ozone Non-
Attainment Area's 2009 Attainment Plan and 2010 Contingency Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy.

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

SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that the Motor
Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
and nitrogen oxides (NOX) in the 2009 Attainment Plan and
2010 Contingency Plan submitted as a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision on June 4, 2007 by the Maryland Department of the Environment
(MDE) and June 12, 2007 by both the Virginia Department of
Environmental Quality (VADEQ) and the District of Columbia Department
of Health (DCDOH) are adequate for transportation conformity purposes.
As a result of EPA's finding, the Washington DC-MD-VA Nonattainment
Area for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(the Metropolitan Washington Area) must use the MVEBs from the June 4,
2007 and June 12, 2007 Attainment Plan and Contingency Plan for future
conformity determinations for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.

DATES: The adequacy finding for MVEBs for VOCs and NOX is
effective February 22, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Martin Kotsch, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19103 at<PHONE_NUMBER> or by email at:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The finding is available at EPA's conformity Web
site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/currsips.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The word ``budgets'' refers to the motor
vehicle emission budgets for VOCs and NOX. The word ``SIP''
in this document refers to the Attainment Plan and Contingency Plan for
the Metropolitan Washington Area, 1997 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area
submitted to EPA as a SIP revision on June 4, 2007 by MDE and June 12,
2007 by VADEQ and DCDOH.
    Today's notice is simply an announcement of a finding that EPA has
already made. In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have
found that the MVEBs in the 2009 Attainment Plan and 2010 Contingency
Plan, submitted on June 4, 2007 by MDE and June 12, 2007 by VADEQ and
DCDOH, are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result
of EPA's finding, the Metropolitan Washington Area must use the MVEBs
from the 2009 Attainment Plan and 2010 Contingency Plan for future
conformity determinations for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. This
finding has also been announced on EPA's conformity Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/pastsips.htm. The adequate
MVEBs are shown in the following table:

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

    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990. EPA's conformity rule requires that
transportation plans, programs and projects conform to state air
quality implementation plans and establishes the criteria and
procedures for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP
means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality
violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of
the national ambient air quality standards. The criteria by which EPA
determines whether a SIP's MVEBs are adequate for conformity purposes
are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). EPA has described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in 40 CFR 93.118(f)
and has followed this rule in making its adequacy determination.

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants;
Delegation of Authority to Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On February 24, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) published a direct final rule approving the updated delegation of
EPA authority for implementation and enforcement of National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for all sources (both
part 70 and non-part 70 sources) to the Oklahoma Department of
Environmental Quality (ODEQ). The direct final rule was published
without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse comments. EPA
stated in the direct final rule that if EPA received relevant, adverse
comments by March 26, 2015, EPA would publish a timely withdrawal in
the Federal Register. EPA received a relevant, adverse comment on March
25, 2015, and accordingly is withdrawing the direct final rule, and in
a separate subsequent final rulemaking will address the comment
received.

DATES: Effective April 21, 2015, the direct final rule published at 80
FR 9622 on February 24, 2015, is withdrawn.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 24, 2015, EPA published a direct
final rule approving the updated delegation of EPA authority for
implementation and enforcement of NESHAPs for all sources (both part 70
and non-part 70 sources) to the ODEQ. The direct final rule was
published without prior proposal because EPA anticipated no adverse
comments. EPA stated in the direct final rule that if relevant, adverse
comments were received by March 26, 2015, EPA would publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register. EPA received a comment on March 25,
2015, from the ODEQ stating in relevant part, that EPA reconsider the
limitation on ODEQ's authority over NESHAPs and remove the language in
the final rule requiring ODEQ to make a demonstration of jurisdiction
over non-reservation Indian country. ODEQ cited various wording from
two court cases where both generally stated that a state has regulatory
jurisdiction under the CAA over all the land within its territory and
outside the boundaries of an Indian reservation, and that regulatory
jurisdiction under the CAA must lie initially with either a tribe or a
state. EPA considers this a relevant, adverse comment and accordingly
is withdrawing the direct final rule. In a separate subsequent final
rulemaking EPA will address the comment received. The withdrawal is
being taken pursuant to section 112 of the CAA.

Public Water System Supervision Program Approval for the State of
Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the EPA has tentatively approved
three revisions to the State of Indiana's public water system
supervision program. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management
(IDEM) has revised several of its rules to comply with the National
Primary Drinking Water Regulations, including the Interim Enhanced
Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR), the Stage 1 Disinfectants and
Disinfection Byproducts Rule (Stage 1 DDBPR), and the Filter Backwash
Recycling Rule (FBRR). EPA has determined that Indiana's revised rules
are no less stringent than the corresponding federal regulations.
Therefore, EPA intends to approve these revisions to the State of
Indiana's public water system supervision program, thereby giving IDEM
primary enforcement responsibility for these regulations. IDEM adopted
the IESWTR, Stage 1 DDBPR, and the FBRR on December 1, 2002.
    Any interested party may request a public hearing. A request for a
public hearing must be submitted by April 8, 2013, to the Regional
Administrator at the EPA Region 5 address shown below. The Regional
Administrator may deny frivolous or insubstantial requests for a
hearing. However, if a substantial request for a public hearing is made
by April 8, 2013, EPA Region 5 will hold a public hearing, and a notice
of such hearing will be given in the Federal Register and a newspaper
of general circulation. If EPA Region 5 does not receive a timely and
appropriate request for a hearing and the Regional Administrator does
not elect to hold a hearing on her own motion, this determination shall
become final and effective on April 8, 2013. Any request for a public
hearing shall include the following information: the name, address, and
telephone number of the individual, organization, or other entity
requesting a hearing; a brief statement of the requesting person's
interest in the Regional Administrator's determination and a brief
statement of the information that the requesting person intends to
submit at such hearing; and the signature of the individual making the
request, or, if the request is made on behalf of an organization or
other entity, the signature of a responsible official of the
organization or other entity.

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-06-
08, which applied to certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100
STD, -100 SE, and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU,
and -200 STD airplanes. AD 2017-06-08 required revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD continues to require
that revision; adds a new requirement for revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations; and adds airplanes to the
applicability. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-06-08, the agency
determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are
necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective February 10, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of February 10,
2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of May
11, 2017 (82 FR 16725, April 6, 2017).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The Ag[ecirc]encia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC),
which is the aviation authority for Brazil, has issued Brazilian AD
2019-05-01, effective May 2, 2019; corrected July 1, 2019 (``Brazilian
AD 2019-05-01'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''); to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170 airplanes. You may
examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-
0499.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-06-08, Amendment 39-18832 (82 FR
16725, April 6, 2017) (``AD 2017-06-08''). AD 2017-06-08 applied to
certain Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -100 SE, and -100
SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, and -200 STD
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 1, 2019
(84 FR 31246). The NPRM was prompted by a determination that new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM
proposed to continue to require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The NPRM also proposed to
require a new revision of the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, and to add airplanes to the
applicability. The FAA is issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking
of various principal structural elements (PSEs); such cracking could
result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane. The FAA is also
issuing this AD to prevent safety significant latent failures; such
failures, in combination with one or more other specified failures or
events, could result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition
of avionics, hydraulic systems, fire detection systems, fuel systems,
or other critical systems. Furthermore, the FAA is issuing this AD to
address potential ignition sources inside fuel tanks caused by latent
failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions; such failures,
in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in fuel tank
explosions and consequent loss of the airplane. See the MCAI for
additional background information.

Action Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since the NPRM was issued ANAC published a correction to Brazilian
AD 2019-05-01 to clarify that the initial compliance times identified
as ``Threshold'' or ``T'' in EMBRAER 170/175 Maintenance Review Board
Report (MRBR), MRB-1621, Revision 14, dated September 27, 2018
(``EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14''), are expressed in total
flight cycles and total flight hours. The FAA has revised paragraph
(i)(1) of this AD to state ``For the purposes of this AD, the initial
compliance times (identified as `Threshold' or `T' in EMBRAER 170/175
MRB-1621, Revision 14) are expressed in `total flight cycles' or `total
flight hours,' as applicable.''

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise/Remove Initial Compliance Time for New Maintenance
Tasks

    Republic Airways, Inc., (Republic) requested that the compliance
time specified in paragraph (i)(1) of the proposed AD be revised to
more closely reflect the requirements of Brazilian AD 2019-05-01. The
commenter also requested that the 90-day initial compliance time
specified in paragraph (i)(2) of the proposed AD be removed. The
commenter noted that Brazilian AD 2019-05-01 does not include a
calendar day compliance time. The commenter asserted that a 90-day
compliance time could require accomplishment of the tasks before they
are required to be included in the maintenance program.
    The FAA agrees to clarify the compliance times specified in this
AD. The compliance time in paragraph (a)(1) of Brazilian AD 2019-05-01
requires operators to revise the maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, within three months after the effective date of that
Brazilian AD. Paragraph (i) of this AD requires revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, within 90 days after
the effective date of this AD. The FAA typically specifies AD
compliance times for revisions to the maintenance or inspection program
as 90 days. Therefore, the FAA has not revised this AD regarding this
issue.
    Regarding the initial compliance time for doing the new tasks,
paragraph (a)(3) of Brazilian AD 2019-05-01 states that the initial
compliance time is at the applicable times specified in the revised
maintenance program or within 600 flight cycles after the effective
date of Brazilian AD 2019-05-01. Paragraph (i) of this AD states that
the operator may choose to use the later of the compliance times
specified in paragraphs (i)(1) and (2) of this AD. Paragraph (i)(1) of
this AD states the initial compliance time is ``within the applicable
times specified in EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14.'' Paragraph
(i)(2) of this AD states the initial compliance time is ``within 90
days or 600 flight cycles after the effective date of this AD,
whichever occurs later.'' The compliance time specified in paragraph
(i)(2) of this AD matches the compliance time in paragraph (a)(3) of
Brazilian AD 2019-05-01, along with an additional 90-day compliance
time for operators who may reach the 600 flight cycles early (i.e.,
before reaching 90 days). The 90-day compliance time is intended to
provide relief for this scenario. Therefore, the FAA has not revised
this AD regarding this issue.

Request To Allow Alternative Actions/Intervals in Subsequent Service
Information

    Horizon Air requested that paragraph (j) of the proposed AD be
revised to allow for alternative actions and intervals provided in
subsequent revisions of the identified service information. The
commenter explained that paragraph (b) of Brazilian AD 2019-05-01
allows for alternative actions and intervals if the alternative action
or interval is published in a subsequent

revision of EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621 and approved by ANAC. The
commenter noted that Revision 15 to EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621 was issued
June 28, 2019, and that there is no current temporary revision to this
manual.
    The FAA agrees with the commenter's observation that EMBRAER 170/
175 MRB-1621, Revision 15, dated June 28, 2019 (``EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-
1621, Revision 15''), was approved by ANAC. Changes in EMBRAER 170/175
MRB-1621, Revision 15, include incorporation of the life-limited item
provided in EMBRAER Temporary Revision (TR) 14-1, dated November 13,
2018 (``EMBRAER TR 14-1''). Therefore, the same level of safety is
maintained by incorporating the information in EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-
1621, Revision 15, as incorporating the information in Part 1--
Certification Maintenance Requirements, Part 2--Airworthiness
Limitation Inspections (ALI)-Structures, Part 3--Fuel System Limitation
Items, and Part 4--Life Limited Items; and EMBRAER TR 14-1 to Part 4--
Life Limited Item; of Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations of EMBRAER
170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14.
    Once the information in EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14, has
been included in the general revisions of the EMBRAER 170/175
Maintenance Review Board Report, and the general revisions have been
inserted into the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, the
requirement in paragraph (i)(1) of this AD is satisfied. Since EMBRAER
170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 15, contains the same information relative
to this issue that is specified in both EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621,
Revision 14, and EMBRAER TR 14-1, a request for an AMOC is not
necessary. The FAA has not revised this AD regarding this issue.

Requests for Credit for Previously Accomplished Actions

    Embraer and Republic Airways requested that operators be allowed to
substitute the last accomplishment of tasks 53-23-014-0001 and 53-23-
016-0001 for performing the initial accomplishment of tasks 53-23-014-
005 and 53-23-016-0005. Republic Airways justified its request by
explaining that tasks 53-23-014-0005 and 53-23-016-0005 were introduced
in EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14, splitting existing tasks from
previous EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621 revisions in order to increase the
interval for some parts of the inspection reducing the frequency of
access in areas that are difficult to access. Republic Airways noted
that tasks 53-23-014-0001 and 53-23-016-0001 in EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-
1621, Revision 13, dated May 10, 2017, and earlier revisions, included
the same inspections as tasks 53-23-014-0005 and 53-23-016-0005. The
commenters pointed out that ANAC granted an AMOC to Brazilian AD 2019-
05-01 to provide credit for previously accomplished inspections,
provided that the inspections included the area under the scuff plates.
    The FAA agrees with the commenters' requests for the reasons
provided. The FAA has included Brazilian AMOC No. 632/2019/GCPR/GGCP/
SAR-ANAC, dated June 13, 2019, in paragraph (k)(1)(ii) of this AD as an
approved AMOC for the corresponding provision of this AD. The FAA finds
that inclusion of this superseding AMOC addresses the commenters'
requests.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA 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.
    The FAA 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

    Embraer has issued Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations, to
EMBRAER 170/175 MRB-1621, Revision 14, dated September 27, 2018. This
service information describes airworthiness limitations.
    Embraer has also issued EMBRAER TR 14-1, to Part 4--Life-Limited
Items, of Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations, of the EMBRAER 170/175
MRB-1621, Revision 14, dated September 27, 2018. This service
information describes, in Table 1 of the life-limited items, a new part
number associated with main landing gear (MLG) life-limited components.
    This AD also requires Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations, of the
EMBRAER 170/175 MRBR, MRB-1621, Revision 10, dated February 23, 2015,
which the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation
by reference on May 11, 2017 (82 FR 16725, April 6, 2017).
    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

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 540 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD.
    The actions that are required by AD 2017-06-08 and retained in this
AD take about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85
per work hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD
2017-06-08 is $85 per product.
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past the FAA has estimated that this action takes 1
work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. Therefore, the FAA estimates the total cost per
operator to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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 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 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) 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.

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2017-06-08, Amendment 39-18832 (82 FR 16725, April 6, 2017), and adding
the following new AD:

2019-25-16 Embraer S.A.: Amendment 39-21015; Docket No. FAA-2019-
0499; Product Identifier 2019-NM-088-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective February 10, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2017-06-08, Amendment 39-18832 (82 FR 16725,
April 6, 2017) (``AD 2017-06-08'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD,
-100 SE, and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU, -
200 STD, and -200 LL airplanes; certificated in any category;
manufacturer serial numbers 17000002, 17000004 through 17000013
inclusive, and 17000015 through 17000761 inclusive.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Codes 27, Flight
controls; 28, Fuel; 52, Doors; 53, Fuselage; 54, Nacelles/pylons;
55, Stabilizers; 57, Wings; 71, Powerplant; and 78, Exhaust.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a determination that new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address fatigue cracking of various principal
structural elements (PSEs); such cracking could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane. The FAA is also issuing this
AD to prevent safety significant latent failures; such failures, in
combination with one or more other specified failures or events,
could result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition of
avionics, hydraulic systems, fire detection systems, fuel systems,
or other critical systems. Furthermore, the FAA is issuing this AD
to address potential ignition sources inside fuel tanks caused by
latent failures, alterations, repairs, or maintenance actions; such
failures, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result in
fuel tank explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Retained Revision of Maintenance or Inspection Program, With No
Changes

    This paragraph restates the requirements of paragraph (i) of AD
2017-06-08, with no changes. For Model ERJ 170-100 LR, -100 STD, -
100 SE, and -100 SU airplanes; and Model ERJ 170-200 LR, -200 SU,
and -200 STD airplanes; manufacturer serial numbers 17000002,
17000004 through 17000013 inclusive, and 17000015 through 17000453
inclusive: Within 12 months after May 11, 2017 (the effective date
of AD 2017-06-08), revise the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate the airworthiness limitations
specified in Part 1--Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR);
Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation Inspections (ALI)-Structures; Part
3--Fuel System Limitation Items (FSL); and Part 4--Life Limited
Items (LLI); of Appendix A--Airworthiness Limitations; of the
EMBRAER 170/175 Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR), MRB-1621,
Revision 10, dated February 23, 2015. The initial compliance times
and repetitive intervals are specified in the applicable part of the
EMBRAER 170/175 MRBR, MRB-1621, Revision 10, dated February 23,
2015.

(h) Retained No Alternative Actions Intervals, and/or Critical Design
Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs), With New Exception

    This paragraph restates the action required by paragraph (j) of
AD 2017-06-08, with a new exception. Except as required by paragraph
(i) of this AD, after accomplishing the revisions required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative actions (e.g.,
inspections), intervals, or CDCCLs may be used unless the actions,
intervals, and CDCCLs are approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (k)(1) of this AD.

(i) New Existing Maintenance or Inspection Program Revision

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57391; File No. SR-NSCC-2007-15]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Securities Clearing
Corporation; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change Relating to the
Admission of Foreign Entities

February 27, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on November 16, 2007,
National Securities Clearing Corporation (``NSCC'') filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule
change as described in Items I, II, and III below, which items have
been prepared primarily by NSCC. 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change would establish a policy statement
regarding the admission of entities that are organized in a foreign
country and are not subject to U.S. federal or state regulation
(``foreign entities'') as members of NSCC.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') has filed a similar
proposed rule change that would permit DTC to adopt a similar policy
statement with respect to the admission of foreign entities as
participants. Securities Exchange Act Release No. 57392 (February
27, 2008) (File No. SR-DTC-2007-16).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 such
statements.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Commission has modified parts of these statements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    NSCC Rule 2 and Addendum B to NSCC's Rules address the admission of
applicants as NSCC members. NSCC's Rules provide that admission as a
member is subject to an applicant's demonstration that it meets NSCC's
standards of financial responsibility, operational capability, and
character. Additionally, each member must continue to be in a position
to demonstrate to NSCC that it meets these standards. The purpose of
the proposed rule change is to establish admission criteria that will
permit a well-qualified foreign entity to become an NSCC member and
thereby obtain direct access to NSCC's services while assuring that the
unique risks associated with the admission of foreign entities are
adequately addressed.
    The admission of foreign entities as members raises a number of
unique risks and issues, including that (1) the entity is not subject
to U.S. federal or state regulation, (2) the operation of the laws of
the entity's home country and time zone differences \4\ may impede the
successful exercise of NSCC's rights and remedies particularly in the
event of the entity's failure to settle, and (3) financial information
about the foreign entity made available to NSCC for monitoring purposes
may be less adequate than information about U.S.-based entities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Time zone differences could complicate communications
between the foreign member and its U.S. Settling Bank with respect
to the timely payment of the member's net debit to NSCC, including
intraday demands for payment. These differences could also delay
NSCC's receipt of information available in the member's home country
to others (including its other creditors) about the member's
financial condition on the basis of which NSCC would have taken
steps to protect the interests of NSCC and its members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change would add a new Policy Statement \5\ to
NSCC's Rules that in addition to requiring execution of the standard
NSCC Membership Agreement would require a foreign entity to enter into
a series of undertakings and agreements that are designed to address
jurisdictional concerns and to assure that NSCC is provided with
audited financial information that is acceptable to NSCC.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ NSCC's proposed ``Policy Statement on the Admission of Non-
U.S. Entities as Direct Clearing Corporation Members'' is attached
as Exhibit 5 to its filing, which can be found at http://
www.dtcc.com/downloads/legal/rule_filings/2007/nscc/2007-15.pdf.
    \6\ In the Policy Statement, NSCC has reserved the right to
waive certain of the criteria where such criteria are inappropriate
to a particular applicant or class of applicants (e.g., a foreign
government or international securities clearing corporation).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The new Policy Statement would also require that a foreign entity
(1) be subject to regulation in its home country and (2) be in good
standing with its home country regulator.
    The proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Act. The proposed rule change does not
unfairly discriminate against foreign entities seeking admission as
members because it appropriately takes into account the unique risks to
NSCC raised by their admission.

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

    NSCC perceives no impact on competition by reason of the proposed
rule change.

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

    Written comments from NSCC Participants or others have not been
solicited or received on the proposed rule change.

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

    Within thirty-five days of the date of publication of this notice
in the Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the
Commission may designate up to ninety days of such date if it finds
such longer period to be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so
finding or (ii) as to which the self-regulatory organization consents,
the Commission will:
    (A) By order approve the proposed rule change or
    (B) institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-74831; File No. SR-DTC-2015-004]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to a DTC Custody Service Fee Change

April 29, 2015.
    Pursuant to section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (``Act'') and Rule 19b-4 \2\ thereunder, notice is hereby given
that on April 17, 2015, The Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I, II and III below, which
Items have been prepared by DTC. DTC filed the proposed rule change
pursuant to section 19(b)(3)(A) \3\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(2) \4\
thereunder. The proposed rule change was effective upon filing with the
Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.

    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the
Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change consists of a change to DTC's Fee Schedule
(``Fee Schedule'') with respect to the DTC Custody Service.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Each term not otherwise defined herein has its respective
meaning as set forth in the DTC Rules (the ``Rules''), available at
http://www.dtcc.com/legal/rules-and-procedures.aspx.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC 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. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

(A) Clearing Agency's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis
for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The proposed rule change would revise the Fee Schedule with respect
to a fee charged to Participants that use the Custody Service, as
described below.
    The Custody Service provides safe keeping and physical transaction
processing for securities certificates and other items (collectively,
``certificates''), including certificates for securities and other
assets not eligible for deposit in DTC's core depository services.\6\
In utilizing the Custody Service, Participants are able to leverage
DTC's vault facility to outsource the safe

keeping and subsequent physical transaction processing for
certificates. DTC charges each Participant a monthly fee (currently
described in the Fee Schedule as a ``Long Position'' Fee) of $0.70 per
certificate, per month (``Current Fee'') for safe keeping in the
Custody Service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Please see the DTC Custody Service Guide at p. 5, available
at http://www.dtcc.com/~/media/Files/Downloads/legal/service-guides/
Custody.pdf for an overview on Custody Service eligibility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to the proposed rule change, in order to better align fees
with the cost of offering the Custody Service, DTC would revise the Fee
Schedule to replace the Current Fee with a reduced fee to be named the
``Custody Certificate Position'' Fee (``New Fee''). The New Fee would
be a monthly fee calculated in accordance with a ``tiered'' fee
structure taking into account the quantity of certificates held in the
Custody Service for the Participant on a per account basis as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Amount ($)                           Conditions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.61.......................  Monthly fee per certificate, per account;
                              fee applied for each certificate on
                              deposit counted up to an aggregate
                              quantity of 50,000 certificates for the
                              account (i.e., certificates counted as 1-
                              50,000).
0.20.......................  Monthly fee per certificate, per account;
                              fee applied for each certificate on
                              deposit counted in excess of an aggregate
                              quantity of 50,000 up to an aggregate
                              quantity of 100,000 certificates for the
                              account (i.e., certificates counted as
                              50,001-100,000).
0.10.......................  Monthly fee per certificate, per account;
                              fee applied for each certificate on
                              deposit counted in excess of an aggregate
                              quantity of 100,000 certificates for the
                              account (i.e., certificates counted as
                              100,001 and above).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For example, a Participant with 200,000 certificates held in the
Custody Service as of a month-end for one of its accounts would be
charged New Fees for the month as follows for that account:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                       Fee amount per
   Certificates counted by tier          certificate        Fee totals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
First 50,000 certificates counted.  $0.61...............      $30,500.00
Second 50,000 certificates counted  0.20................       10,000.00
Remaining 100,000 certificates....  0.10................       10,000.00
                                                         ---------------
                                    Total New Fees for         50,500.00
                                     Account.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Since the New Fee would be charged on a per account basis, a
Participant with multiple accounts would be charged a New Fee amount
for each account, as applicable. The amount would be calculated based
upon the quantity of certificates held for that account only (i.e.,
excluding certificates held for the other accounts of the
Participant).\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Using the example above, a Participant with two accounts,
each with a deposit of 200,000 certificates, would be charged a New
Fee amount of $50,500.00 per account, or total New Fees of
$101,000.00.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Implementation Date
    The proposed fee change would take effect on May 1, 2015.
2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change would better align DTC's fees with its
costs of providing safe keeping for certificates in the Custody
Service, and the proposed fee would apply equally in accordance with
Participants' use of the Custody Service. Therefore, DTC believes the
proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to DTC, in particular
section 17A(b)(3)(D) \8\ of the Act, which requires that DTC's Rules
provide for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and
other charges among its Participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78q-1(b)(3)(D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(B) Clearing Agency's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change would have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition.

(C) Clearing Agency'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 yet
been solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by DTC.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to section
19(b)(3)(A) \9\ of the Act and paragraph (f) of Rule 19b-4 \10\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
