[Docket ID FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1409]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard

determination information may be changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR Part 65.
    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).
    These 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. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

21 CFR Part 556

[Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0003]

Tolerances for Residues of New Animal Drugs in Food; Progesterone

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to update the allowable incremental increase for
residues of progesterone in edible tissues of cattle and sheep based on
the 1994 revised daily consumption values. This action is being taken
to improve the accuracy of the regulations.

DATES: This rule is effective September 19, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Gaido, Center for Veterinary
Medicine (HFV-153), Food and Drug Administration, 7500 Standish Pl.,
Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 512(i) of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360b(i)) (21 CFR 514.105(a)) directs FDA to
establish tolerances by regulation, as necessary, when a new animal
drug is approved for use in food-producing animals. Progesterone is
approved for use in subcutaneous implants used for increased rate of
weight gain in suckling beef calves and steers (21 CFR 522.1940) and in
vaginal inserts used for management of the estrous cycle in female
cattle and ewes (21 CFR 529.1940).
    FDA has noticed the animal drug tolerance regulations do not
reflect levels for progesterone using the daily consumption values in
the current guidance document, ``Guideline for Establishing a Safe
Concentration'' (59 FR 37499, July 22, 1994). At this time, FDA is
amending 21 CFR 556.540 to reflect the revised daily consumption values
as applied to edible tissues of cattle. Sheep are considered a minor
species for human food safety assessment, and the updated allowable
incremental increase limits for cattle tissues based on the revised
daily consumption values are applicable to sheep. This action is being
taken to improve the accuracy of the regulations.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

List of Subjects in 21 CFR Part 556

    Animal drugs, Foods.

    Therefore, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and under
authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs and
redelegated to the Center for Veterinary Medicine, 21 CFR part 556 is
amended as follows:

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

    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 123D relating to when a DMM may
reopen a security electronically. The proposed rule change is available
on the Exchange's Web site at www.nyse.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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 self-regulatory organization
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 those 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 parts of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 123D relating to when a DMM may
reopen a security electronically. The proposed rule changes would
provide greater specificity regarding the applicable reference price
for determining when a DMM may effect a reopening transaction
electronically.
Background
    The Exchange recently amended Rule 123D to specify when DMMs may
effect an opening of a security electronically.\4\ Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)
provides that openings may be effectuated manually or electronically
(as provided for in Rule 104(b)(ii)) and that Exchange systems will not
permit a DMM to open a security electronically if a DMM has manually
entered Floor interest. Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(i) further provides that,
except under the conditions set forth in paragraph (a)(1)(B)(ii) of
Rule 123D, a DMM may not effect an opening electronically if the
opening transaction will be at a price more than 4% away from the
Official Closing Price, as defined in Rule 123C(1)(e), or the matched
volume will be more than: (a) 150,000 shares for securities with an
average opening volume of 100,000 shares or fewer in the previous
calendar quarter; or (b) 500,000 shares for securities with an average
opening volume of over 100,000 shares in the previous calendar quarter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 78228 (July 5,
2016), 81 FR 44907(July 11, 2016) (SR-NYSE-2016-24) (Approval Order)
and 77491 (March 31, 2016), 81 FR 20030 (April 6, 2016) (SR-NYSE-
2016-24) (Notice of Filing) (``Opening Filing'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(ii) provides that if as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern
Time, the E-mini S&P 500 Futures are  2% from the prior
day's closing price of the E-mini S&P

500 Futures, or if the Exchange determines that it is necessary or
appropriate for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market, a DMM may
effect an opening electronically if the opening transaction will be at
a price of up to 8% away from the Official Closing Price, as defined in
Rule 123C(1)(e), without any volume limitations. The current rule is
silent on the reference price for when a DMM may effect a reopening of
a security electronically.
Proposed Rule Change
    The Exchange proposes to amend Rule 123D(a)(1) to provide for how
the Exchange would determine when a DMM may effect a reopening of a
security electronically. First, because Rule 123D(a)(1) is applicable
to reopenings, the Exchange proposes to add to Rule 123D(a) that unless
otherwise specified, references to an open or opening in Rule 123D(a)
also mean a reopening following a trading halt or pause in a security.
This proposed rule text is based on the last sentence of Rule
123D(a)(2).\5\ As proposed, this text would be applicable to Rules
123D(a)(1) and (a)(2) in addition to Rules 123D(a)(3)-(6), as currently
provided for in Rule 123D(a)(2). The Exchange proposes to delete the
last sentence of Rule 123D(a)(2) as duplicative of the proposed new
rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Rule 123D(a)(2) (``Unless otherwise specified,
references to an open or opening in paragraphs (a)(3)-(a)(6) of this
Rule also mean a reopening following a trading halt or pause.'').
See also Supplementary Material .10 to Rule 15 (``Unless otherwise
specified in this Rule, references to an opening transaction include
a reopening transaction following a trading halt or pause in a
security.'')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, because Rule 123D has always governed the reopening
process, in addition to the opening process, the Exchange proposes to
add language to paragraph (1) of Rule 123D(a) to provide for DMM
responsibilities regarding the reopening process. As proposed, Rule
123D(a)(1) would explicitly state that it is the responsibility of each
DMM to ensure that registered securities open as close to the end of a
halt or pause, while at the same time not unduly hasty, particularly
when at a price disparity from the last price on the Exchange.
    Third, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(i) to
provide for the reference price that the Exchange would use to
determine whether a DMM may effect a reopening electronically. As
proposed, a DMM may not effect a reopening electronically if the
reopening transaction would be at a price more than 4% away from the
last price on the Exchange, rather than 4% away from the Official
Closing Price. The Exchange also proposes to specify that the Official
Closing Price would be used as the reference price for openings, but
not reopenings.
    The Exchange believes that when reopening a security, the Official
Closing Price from the prior day would no longer be a relevant
reference price because the security has already opened for trading.
Rather, because the security has been subject to a halt or pause before
reopening, the Exchange believes that using the last sale price on the
Exchange would be more representative of the most recent price of a
security. A reopening price that would be more than 4% away from the
last Exchange sale price demonstrates a level of price movement in a
security during the halt or pause that warrants the manual price
discovery process for the reopening. If the reopening price were to be
within 4% away from the last Exchange sale price, that security likely
has not experienced as much price movement, and therefore an electronic
reopening may be more appropriate.
    To effect this proposed rule change, the Exchange proposes to break
current Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(i) into subsections in order to specify the
applicable parameters for determining whether to open or reopen a
security electronically. The proposed amended rule text would provide
(new text underlined, deletions bracketed):
    (i) Except under the conditions set forth in paragraphs
(a)(1)(B)(ii) and (iii) of this Rule, a DMM may not effect an opening
electronically if:
    (a) the opening (but not reopening) transaction will be at a price
more than 4% away from the Official Closing Price, as defined in Rule
123C(1)(e),
    (b) the reopening transaction will be at a price more than 4% away
from the last price on the Exchange, or
    (c) the matched volume for the opening transaction will be more
than:
    [(a)](1) 150,000 shares for securities with an average opening
volume of 100,000 shares or fewer in the previous calendar quarter; or
    [(b)](2) 500,000 shares for securities with an average opening
volume of over 100,000 shares in the previous calendar quarter.
    Fourth, the Exchange proposes to amend Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(ii) to
similarly provide that the reference price that the Exchange would use
to determine whether a DMM may effect a reopening electronically on
more volatile trading days would be based on the last sale price on the
Exchange.\6\ The proposed amended rule text would provide (new text
underlined):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The first clause of Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(ii) specifically
governs assessing volatility before the opening of trading i.e.,
assessing volatility based on the E-mini S&P 500 Futures before 9:00
a.m. Eastern Time to determine whether to widen the opening
parameters. Based on the proposed changes to Rule 123D(a), discussed
above, to specify that reference to the opening also refers to a
reopening, the second clause of the current rule, i.e., that the
Exchange may widen the opening parameters if it determines that it
is necessary or appropriate for the maintenance of a fair and
orderly market, would also apply to reopenings. For example, during
a market-wide halt under Rule 80B, the futures markets may also halt
trading in related securities. However, because of the market-wide
volatility that triggered such halt, the Exchange may determine that
it is appropriate to widen the parameters for when a DMM may effect
a reopening electronically, even in the absence of a benchmark index
to measure volatility.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (ii) If as of 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time, the E-mini S&P 500 Futures
are +/-2% from the prior day's closing price of the E-mini S&P 500
Futures, or if the Exchange determines that it is necessary or
appropriate for the maintenance of a fair and orderly market, a DMM may
effect an opening electronically if the opening transaction will be at
a price of up to 8% away from the Official Closing Price, as defined in
Rule 123C(1)(e), (for openings, but not reopenings) or the last sale
price on the Exchange (for reopenings), without any volume
limitations.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange proposes a non-substantive, technical amendment
to change the phrase ``fair and order market'' to provide instead
``fair and orderly market'' in Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to add new Rule 123D(a)(1)(B)(iii)
to specify the reference price that the Exchange would use when
reopening a security following a trading pause under Rule 80C or a
market-wide halt under Rule 80B and a pre-opening indication has been
published in a security under Rule 15. As proposed, under such
circumstances, a DMM may not reopen such security electronically if the
reopening transaction would be at a price outside of the last-published
pre-opening indication. The Exchange believes that because price
volatility was likely the cause of such trading pause or halt, if the
DMM publishes a pre-opening indication in a security for a reopening
following such trading pause or halt, the reopening price should be
within such pre-opening indication price range, regardless of whether
the security is reopened manually or electronically. If the price moves
away from the last pre-opening indication, the DMM should publish a new
pre-opening indication to provide notice of the new price range.\8\
Because the DMM would need to reopen a security within such price
indication

range, the Exchange believes it is appropriate to prohibit a DMM from
reopening electronically if the reopening price were to be outside of
the last-published pre-opening indication. The proposed new rule text
would provide (new text underlined):
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Rule 15(e)(2) (a pre-opening indication must be updated
if the opening transaction would be at a price outside of a
published pre-opening indication).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (iii) When reopening a security following a trading pause under
Rule 80C or a market-wide halt under Rule 80B, if a pre-opening
indication has been published in a security under Rule 15, a DMM may
not reopen such security electronically if the reopening transaction
will be at a price outside of the last-published pre-opening
indication.
* * * * *
    Because of the technology changes associated with the proposed rule
change, the Exchange will announce by Trader Update the implementation
date of the changes.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Act,\9\ in general, and furthers the
objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\10\ in particular, because it
is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices,
promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and protect investors and the public interest. The
Exchange believes that amending Rule 123D(a) to specify that unless
otherwise provided, all of Rule 123D(a) is applicable to both openings
and reopenings would remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of
a free and open market and a national market system because it would
promote transparency regarding the scope of the rule. The proposed
change is also consistent with current Rule 123D(a)(2) and
Supplementary Material .10 to Rule 15, which similarly provide that
references to an opening also refers to a reopening, unless otherwise
specified.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange further believes that amending Rule 123D to specify
when a DMM may effect a reopening electronically would remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system by promoting transparency in Exchange rules
regarding under what circumstances a DMM may effect a reopening
electronically. The Exchange believes that using the last Exchange sale
price as a reference price would promote just and equitable principles
of trade and remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free
and open market and a national market system because using the last
sale price on the Exchange would be more representative of the most
recent price of a security from before the halt or pause. In addition,
the Exchange believes that if a security were to reopen more than 4%
(or 8% on a more volatile trading day) from that reference price, such
reopening would likely benefit from the manual price discovery process.
The Exchange further believes that it would remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market to double the
parameters for when a DMM may reopen a security electronically if the
Exchange believes that it is necessary or appropriate for the
maintenance of a fair and orderly reopening of a security.
    The Exchange also believes that it would remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market to provide that a DMM
may reopen a security electronically if the reopening transaction would
be at a price outside of the last-published pre-opening indication when
reopening a security following a trading pause under Rule 80C or a
market-wide halt under Rule 80B and a pre-opening indication has been
published under Rule 15. Finally, the Exchange believes that the
proposal would advance the efficiency and transparency of the reopening
process, thereby fostering accurate price discovery at the reopen of
trading. For the same reasons, the proposal is also designed to protect
investors as well as the public interest.

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed rule change is
not intended to address competitive issues but rather promote greater
efficiency and transparency at the reopen of trading on the Exchange.

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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \13\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, pursuant to Rule 19b4(f)(6)(iii),\14\ the Commission
may designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Exchange notes that
waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that waiver
will provide clarification to its updated Disaster Recovery Plan, which
has been filed with the Commission. The Commission hereby waives the
30-day operative delay and designates the proposal operative upon
filing.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \16\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0977; Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-190-AD;
Amendment 39-17795; AD 2014-05-22]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 717-200 airplanes. This AD was prompted by
multiple reports of cracking in the overwing frames. This AD requires
repetitive inspections for cracking in the overwing frames, and
corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct such cracking, which could result in a severed frame and might
increase the loading of adjacent frames, resulting in damage to the
adjacent structure and consequent loss of structural integrity of the
airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective April 15, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 15,
2014.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

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 all The Boeing Company
Model 717-200 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
December 4, 2013 (78 FR 72836). The NPRM was prompted by multiple
reports of cracking in the overwing frames. The NPRM proposed to
require repetitive inspections for cracking in the overwing frames, and
corrective actions if necessary. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct such cracking, which could result in a severed frame and might
increase the loading of adjacent frames, resulting in damage to the
adjacent structure and consequent loss of structural integrity of the
airplane.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We have considered the comment received. Boeing stated that it
supports the NPRM (78 FR 72836, December 4, 2013).

Change to This Final Rule

    We revised paragraph (g)(2)(i) of this final rule to clarify that
an operator that has already accomplished the inspections specified in
Boeing Multi Operator Message (MOM) MOM-MOM-13-0375-01B, dated May 9,
2013, has a compliance time of within 9,300 flight cycles after those
inspections were accomplished to do the actions required by paragraph
(g) of this final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the change described previously and minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 72836, December 4, 2013) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 72836, December 4, 2013).

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 129 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.

                                    cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements
that would be required based on the results of any inspection. We have
no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need this
replacement:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                 Labor cost               Parts cost        product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement of a frame station................  126 work-hours x $85 per hour =          $83,060         $93,770
                                                 $10,710.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, for the on-condition repairs specified in this AD, we
have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide cost
estimates.

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.

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 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.

issue date of this service bulletin,'' this AD requires compliance
within the specified compliance time after the effective date of
this AD.
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 717-53A0036, dated
August 12, 2013, specifies to contact Boeing for the compliance time
of an inspection repetitive interval, this AD requires a compliance
time approved by the FAA in accordance with the procedures specified
in paragraph (j) of this AD.
    (3) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 717-53A0036, dated

local Flight Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending
information directly to the manager of the ACO, send it to the
attention of the person identified in paragraph (k) of this AD.
Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair required by this AD if it is approved by the
Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization
(ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Los Angeles ACO, to
make those findings. For a repair method to be approved, the repair
must meet the certification basis of the airplane and 14 CFR 25.571,
Amendment 45, and the approval must specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) If the service information contains steps that are labeled
as RC (Required for Compliance), those steps must be done to comply
