Background

    Transport Canada, which is the aviation authority for Canada, has
issued AD CF-2023-07, dated February 10, 2023 (Transport Canada AD CF-
2023-07) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition
on certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-1A11 (600), CL-600-2A12
(601), and CL-600-2B16 (601-3A, 601-3R, and 604 Variants) airplanes.
The MCAI states a Model CL-600-2B16 airplane experienced an uncommanded
flap extension from 0 to 45 degrees, accompanied by a flaps fail
caution message during climb. The airplane returned to the departure
airport without further incident. The investigations found that the
flap control system failed to arrest the uncommanded movement due to a
failed retract relay. The failed retract relay also caused the flap
control system to operate at half speed, which was undetected during
previous flights. The root cause of the uncommanded flap extension
remains under investigation. Transport Canada considers its AD to be an
interim action, and further AD action may follow. See Transport Canada
AD CF-2023-07 for additional background information.
    The FAA is proposing this AD to address the failure of the flap
control system to arrest the uncommanded flap extension. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could lead to the loss of control of the
airplane.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1052.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed the following service information, which specifies
procedures for performing initial and repetitive operational tests of
the inboard and outboard flaps to verify the functionality of the
retract relays. The service information also specifies contacting the
manufacturer for corrective action for any anomaly found during an
operational test. These documents are distinct since they apply to
different airplane models.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 600-0780, dated December 29,
2022.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 601-1112, Revision 01, dated
February 23, 2023.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 604-27-040, dated December 29,
2022.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 605-27-011, dated December 29,
2022.
     Bombardier Service Bulletin 650-27-004, dated December 29,
2022.
    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.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country, and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI and service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing
this NPRM after determining that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD would be an interim action. If
final action is later identified, the FAA might consider further
rulemaking then.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 1,124 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the
following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    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.

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

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2019-0565]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Charleston Harbor, Charleston, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a temporary moving
safety zone around the USS LA JOLLA as the vessel is towed to Joint
Base Charleston, Charleston, SC. This action is necessary to provide
for the safety of life on these navigable waters in Charleston Harbor,
Charleston, SC on September 3, 2019. This proposed rulemaking would
prohibit persons and vessels from being in the safety zone unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated
representative. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before August 26, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2019-0565 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Chad Ray, Sector
Charleston Office of Waterways Management, Coast Guard; telephone (843)
740-3184, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On May 1, 2019, the United States Navy (USN) notified the Coast
Guard that it would be towing the USS LA JOLLA into Charleston Harbor,
to the vessel's new berth at Joint Base Charleston, as a Moored
Training Ship for the USN's Nuclear Power Training Unit on September 3,
2019. The Captain of the Port Charleston (COTP) has determined a 200-
yard safety zone is required for the safe transit of the towing vessel
and USS LA JOLLA.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
and the navigable waters within a 200-yard radius of the towing vessel
and USS LA JOLLA during their transit to Joint Base Charleston on the
Cooper River. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231).

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP is proposing to establish a temporary moving safety zone
around the USS LA JOLLA on September 3, 2019 from 6:00 a.m. until 6:00
p.m. The safety zone would cover all navigable waters within 200 yards
of the USS LA JOLLA and towing vessel. The duration of the zone is
intended to ensure the safety of the towing vessel and the USS LA JOLLA
during their transit to Joint Base Charleston on the Cooper River. No
vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The
regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a

budgeting process. This NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, the NPRM
has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and
pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from the requirements of
Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Vessel traffic
would be able to safely transit around this safety zone or wait for the
USS LA JOLLA to pass. Because this is a moving safety zone, it would
impact a small designated area of the Charleston Harbor for a short
period of time. Moreover, the Coast Guard would issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132
(Federalism), if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1
(series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a moving
safety zone lasting approximately 12 hours that would prohibit entry
within 200 yards of the USS LA JOLLA. Normally such actions are
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) in
Table 3-1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing
Procedures 5090.1. We seek any comments or information that may lead to
the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
