Incorporated; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed
Rule Change Related to the Extension of a CBSX Clearly Erroneous Policy
Pilot Program

April 7, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that on March 31, 2011, the Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated (``Exchange'' or ``CBOE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Exchange has designated the proposal as a ``non-
controversial'' proposed rule change pursuant to Section

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

    The Exchange proposes to extend a clearly erroneous policy pilot
program pertaining to the CBOE Stock Exchange (``CBSX'', the CBOE's
stock trading facility). This rule change simply seeks to extend the
pilot. No other changes to the pilot are being proposed. The text of
the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site
(http://www.cboe.org/Legal), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary
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 Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of 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
    Certain amendments to Rule 52.4, Clearly Erroneous Policy, were
approved by the Commission on September 10, 2010 on a pilot basis. The
pilot is currently set to expire on April 11, 2011.\5\ The clearly
erroneous policy changes were developed in consultation with other
markets and the Commission staff to provide for uniform treatment: (i)
Of clearly erroneous execution reviews in Multi-Stock Events involving
twenty or more securities; and (ii) in the event transactions occur
that result in the issuance of an individual stock trading pause by the
primary market and subsequent transactions that occur before the
trading pause is in effect on the Exchange. Additional changes were
also made to Rule 52.4 that reduce the ability of the Exchange to
deviate from the objective standards set forth in the Rule. As the
duration of the pilot expires on April 11, 2011, the Exchange is
proposing to extend the effectiveness of the clearly erroneous policy
changes to Rule 52.4 through the earlier of August 11, 2011 or the date
on which a limit up-limit down mechanism to address extraordinary
market volatility, if adopted, applies to the Circuit Breaker Stocks as
defined in Rule 6.3C, Individual Stock Trading Pause Due to
Extraordinary Market Volatility.\6\

    \5\ Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010) (SR-CBOE-2010-056) (approval
order establishing pilot through December 10, 2010) and 63485
(December 9, 2010), 75 FR 78278 (December 15, 2010) (SR-CBOE-2010-
113) (extension of pilot through April 11, 2011).
    \6\ ``Circuit Breaker Stocks'' means the stocks included in the
S&P 500 Index, the Russell 1000 Index, as well as a pilot list of
Exchange Traded Products. See Interpretation and Policy .03 to Rule
6.3C.

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

2. Statutory Basis
    Extension of the pilot period will allow the Exchange to continue
to operate the pilot on an uninterrupted basis. Accordingly, CBOE
believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the Act \7\ and
the rules and regulations under the Act applicable to a national
securities exchange and, in particular, the requirements of Section
6(b) of the Act.\8\ Specifically, the Exchange believes the proposed
rule change is consistent with the Section 6(b)(5) \9\ requirements
that the rules of an exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.

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

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

    CBOE 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.

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposal.

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

    Because the foregoing 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 for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\11\ The Exchange has asked the Commission to
waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal may become
operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes that waiving
the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest because such waiver will allow the
pilot program to continue uninterrupted and help ensure uniformity
among the national securities exchanges and FINRA with respect to the
treatment of clearly erroneous transactions.\12\ Accordingly, the
Commission waives the 30-day operative delay requirement and designates
the proposed rule change as operative upon filing with the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) requires that a self-regulatory organization submit to
the Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed
rule change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed
rule change, at least five business days prior to the filing of the
proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Commission notes that the Exchange has satisfied
this requirement.
    \12\ 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 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2006-24825; Directorate Identifier 2006-NE-17-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce Deutschland Ltd & Co KG
(RRD) Dart 528, 529, 532, 535, 542, and 552 Series Turboprop Engines

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) for (RRD) Dart 528, 529, 532, 535, 542, and 552 Series
turboprop engines. That AD currently requires a dimensional inspection
of the intermediate pressure turbine (IPT) disk or an ultrasonic
inspection of the seal arm contact between the high pressure turbine
(HPT) and the IPT disk seal arm and reworking or replacing the IPT disk
if worn beyond acceptable limits. This proposed AD would continue to
require those actions. This proposed AD results from us including an
incorrect engine model and omitting an engine model from the
applicability of the existing AD. We are proposing this AD to prevent
HPT disk failure, which can result in an uncontained engine failure and
damage to the airplane.

DATES: We must receive any comments on this proposed AD by January 8,
2008.

ADDRESSES: Use one of the following addresses to comment on this
proposed AD.

Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

Discussion

    On January 12, 2007, the FAA issued AD 2007-02-07, Amendment 39-
14894 (72 FR 2610, January 12, 2007). That AD requires a dimensional
inspection of the IPT disk or an ultrasonic inspection of the seal arm
contact between the HPT and the IPT disk seal arm and reworking or
replacing the IPT disk if worn beyond acceptable limits. That AD was
the result of reports of a number of HPT disk failures, some of which
resulted in released portions of the HPT disk. That condition, if not
corrected, could result in HPT disk failure, which can result in an
uncontained engine failure and damage to the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2007-02-07 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2007-02-07, we found that we listed Dart 555
series turboprop engines, which don't exist, and we omitted Dart 552
series engines from the AD. We are proposing this AD to delete Dart 555
series engines from the applicability paragraph of this proposed AD and
to list Dart 552 series turboprop engines in the applicability
paragraph of this proposed AD.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed and approved the technical contents of RRD DART
Service Bulletin (SB) Da72-536, Revision 1, dated August 25, 2003, and
SB Da72-538, dated June 10, 2005. SB Da72-536 describes procedures for
conducting an ultrasonic inspection to determine if a gap exists
between the HPT and IPT disk seal arms. SB Da72-538 describes
procedures for a dimensional inspection of the IPT disk and rework or
replacement of the IPT disk if wear outside acceptable limits is found.
The LBA classified this SB as mandatory and issued airworthiness
directive D-2005-197, dated June 30, 2005, in order to ensure the
airworthiness of these engines in Germany.

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Because the service information was developed before the proposed
AD, the compliance times permitted to conduct the inspections differ.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other products
of this same type design. For that reason, we are proposing this AD,
which would require a dimensional inspection of the IPT disk or an
ultrasonic inspection of seal arm contact between the HPT and the IPT
disk seal arm, and rework or replacement of the IPT disk, if wear
outside acceptable limits is found. The proposed AD would require you
to use the service information described previously to perform these
actions.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 30 RRD Dart 528,
529, 532, 535, 542, and 552 series turbofan engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would take about
50 work-hours per engine to perform the proposed actions, and that the
average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $50,000 per IPT disk. We estimate that 25 percent, or eight
engines, would require IPT disk replacement. Based on these figures, we
estimate the total cost of the proposed AD to U.S. operators to be
$500,000.

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

    We have 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 that the proposed AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD. See the ADDRESSES section for a location
to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On July 1, 2019 (84 FR 31278), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of West Virginia. In the NPRM, EPA
proposed approval of a Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d) plan
submitted by the WVDEP. The formal State Plan was submitted by West
Virginia on September 13, 2018.

II. Summary of State Plan and EPA Analysis

    EPA has reviewed the West Virginia section 111(d) plan submittal in
the context of the requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subparts B and Cf,
and part 62, subpart A. In this action, EPA is determining that the
submitted section 111(d) plan meets the above-cited requirements.
Included within the section 111(d) plan are regulations under the West
Virginia Code, specifically, West Virginia legislative rule 45 C.S.R.
23, entitled ``Control of Air Pollution from Municipal Solid Waste
Landfills.'' A detailed explanation of the rationale behind this
proposed approval is available in the Technical Support Document (TSD).
    Other specific requirements of West Virginia's State Plan for MSW
landfills and the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained in
the NPRM and will not be restated here. No public comments were
received on the NPRM.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the West Virginia section 111(d) plan for MSW
landfills submitted pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf. Therefore,
EPA is amending 40 CFR part 62, subpart XX to reflect this action. The
scope of the approval of the section 111(d) plan is limited to the
provisions of 40 CFR parts 60 and 62 for existing MSW landfills, as
referenced in the emission guidelines, subpart Cf. The EPA
Administrator continues to retain authority for approval of alternative
methods to determine the nonmethane organic compound concentration or a
site-specific methane generation rate constant (k), as stipulated in 40
CFR[thinsp]60.30f(c), as well as section 4.8.b, ``Implementation of
Emission Guidelines for Existing MSW Landfills,'' of West Virginia's
111(d) plan submittal.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is
finalizing regulatory text that includes the incorporation by reference
of West Virginia Code, specifically, West Virginia legislative rule 45
C.S.R. 23, effective June 1, 2018, entitled ``Control of Air Pollution
from Municipal Solid Waste Landfills,'' which is part of the CAA
section 111(d) plan applicable to existing MSW landfills in West
Virginia as discussed in section II of this preamble. The regulatory
provisions of 45 C.S.R. 23 establish emission standards and compliance
times for the control of methane and other organic compounds from
certain existing MSW landfills located in West Virginia that commenced
construction, modification, or reconstruction on or before July 17,
2014. These provisions set forth requirements meeting criteria
promulgated by EPA at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf. EPA has made, and
will continue to make, 45 C.S.R. 23, as well as the entire West
Virginia plan, generally available through

www.regulations.gov, Docket No. EPA-R03-OAR-2019-0187, and at the EPA
Region III Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). This incorporation by reference has been approved by the
Office of the Federal Register and the Plans are federally enforceable
under the CAA as of the effective date of this final rulemaking.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve
section 111(d) state plan submissions that comply with the provisions
of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7411(d); 40
CFR part 60, subparts B and Cf; and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A. Thus, in
reviewing CAA section 111(d) state plan submissions, the EPA's role is
to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the
Act and implementing regulations. Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the State Plan is not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 21, 2020. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action approving West Virginia's State Plan for existing
MSW landfills may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Availability of the Draft Environmental Impact
Statement (Draft EIS) for the Replacement of Runway 10R/28L,
Development of a New Passenger Terminal, and Other Associated Airport
Projects at Port Columbus International Airport (CMH) and Notice of
Public Hearing

AGENCY: The lead Federal agency is the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA), Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice of availability, notice of public comment period, notice
of public information meeting and public hearing.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this Notice of Availability to advise the
public that a Draft EIS will be available for public review beginning
May 16, 2008. The document was prepared pursuant to major environmental
directives to comply with NEPA: Section 102(2)(c) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-190); Section 106
consultation for impacts to historic structures, as identified in 36
CFR 800.8, Coordination with the National Environmental Policy Act;
U.S. Department of Transportation Section 303(c) consultation; and
other applicable Federal and State environmental laws, regulations, and
Executive Orders.
    The Draft EIS was prepared in response to a proposal presented to
the FAA by the Columbus Regional Airport Authority (CRAA), the owner
and operator of CMH and identified in the Draft EIS as the Airport
Sponsor, for environmental review.
    The FAA prepared this Draft EIS to analyze and disclose potential
environmental impacts related to possible Federal actions at CMH.
Numerous Federal actions would be necessary if airfield development
were to be implemented. Proposed improvements include replacement of
Runway 10R/28L, Development of a New Passenger Terminal, and other
airfield projects (see below).
    The Draft EIS presents the purpose and need for the proposed
Federal action, analysis of reasonable alternatives, including the No
Action alternative, discussion of impacts for each reasonable
alternative, and supporting appendices. The FAA will consider all
information contained in this Draft EIS and additional information that
may be provided during the public comment period before issuing a Final
EIS and Agency decision regarding the possible alternatives and Federal
actions.
    The Airport Sponsor proposes to replace Runway 10R/28L at CMH,
approximately 700 feet south of the existing Runway 10R/28L; develop
new terminal facilities in the midfield area; provide ancillary
facilities in support of the replacement runway and midfield terminal;
and implement noise abatement air traffic procedures developed for the
replacement runway.
    The replacement runway would be 10,113 feet long. This length would
maintain CMH's ability to accommodate current and projected airport
operations. Existing Runway 10R/28L would be decommissioned as a runway
and converted into a taxiway upon commissioning of the replacement
runway. In addition, a south taxiway and north parallel taxiways to
proposed Runway 10R/28L would be constructed.
    To meet future aircraft parking and passenger processing
requirements, new midfield terminal facilities are needed. The Draft
EIS assesses a development envelope that is defined as an area large
enough to encompass Phase I and II of the CRAA terminal development
program. The Draft EIS discusses the number of gates, approximate
square footage, approximate curb frontage, and the number of passengers
that the terminal would accommodate.
    Ancillary facilities in support of the replacement runway and
midfield terminal would be constructed. The facilities include roadway
relocations and construction; parking improvements; property
acquisition; and relocation of residences, as necessary.

    The CRAA has prepared a 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Study
Update (Part 150 Update) to address the current and future noise
conditions. The Part 150 Update includes an analysis of the potential
noise and land use impacts resulting from the proposed development of
relocating Runway 10R/28L to the south, as well as possible mitigation
options. The noise abatement air traffic options recommended through
the Part 150 Update are included in the EIS as part of the proposed
project. In addition, the land use mitigation that is recommended in
the Part 150 Update is included in the EIS as mitigation for impacts
resulting from the proposed project.
    Public Comment and Information Workshop/Public Hearing: The public
comment period on the Draft EIS will start May 16, 2008 and will end on
July 11, 2008. Two Public Information Workshops and Public Hearings
will be held on June 11 and 12, 2008 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the
following locations:

June 11,2008, Oakland Park at Brentnell Elementary School, 1270
Brentnell Avenue, Columbus, OH 43219;
June 12, 2008, Whitehall Community Park, Activities Center, 402 North
Hamilton Road, Whitehall, OH 43213.

    The Public Hearings will conclude when the last registered speaker
presents their oral comments for the record. In the event that it
becomes necessary, time limits may be imposed.
    Comments can only be accepted with the full name and address of the
individual commenting. Mailed and faxed comments are to be submitted to
Ms. Katherine Jones of the FAA, at the address shown in FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT. E-mailed comments should be sent to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA encourages all interested parties to
provide comments concerning the scope and content of the Draft EIS.
Comments should be as specific as possible. Comments should address the
contents of the Draft EIS, such as the analysis of potential
environmental impacts, the adequacy of the proposed action to meet the
stated need, or the merits of the various alternatives. Reviewers
should organize their participation to make it meaningful and effective
in making the FAA aware of the reviewer's interests and concerns.
Reviewers should use quotations, page references, and other specific
citations to the text of the Draft EIS and related documents. This
commenting procedure is intended to ensure that substantive comments
and concerns are made available to the FAA in a timely and effective
manner, so that the FAA has an opportunity to address them.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Kalaupapa Airport, Kalaupapa,
HI. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft using the
new RNAV (GPS) SIAP at Kalaupapa Airport and would enhance the safety
and management of aircraft operations.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action''

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes controlled airspace at Kalaupapa Airport.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc. (RR) RB211 Trent 900
Series Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    Evidence from development testing and flight test Trent 900
engines has identified cracking on some HP Turbine Nozzle Guide

Vane (NGV) Convex Surfaces. Analysis of test data and review of the
manufacturing process has revealed compounding effects that may
contribute to a shortfall in component life and an increased
likelihood of premature cracking in this region. Excessive cracking
on the Convex Surface may lead to the release of NGV material or the
blockage of Turbine gas flow. This results in a risk of fracture to
the HP Turbine Blade.

    We are issuing this AD to prevent the release of a high-pressure
(HP) turbine blade, which could result in an engine power loss or in-
flight shut down of one or more engines, resulting in an inability to
continue safe flight.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 14, 2009.
    We must receive comments on this AD by October 9, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of RR Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) RB.211-72-AF995, Revision
2, dated February 9, 2009, listed in the AD as of September 24, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2009-0051, dated March 5, 2009 (referred to
after this as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    Evidence from development testing and flight test Trent 900
engines has identified cracking on some HP Turbine Nozzle Guide Vane
(NGV) Convex Surfaces. Analysis of test data and review of the
manufacturing process has revealed compounding effects that may
contribute to a shortfall in component life and an increased
likelihood of premature cracking in this region. Excessive cracking
on the Convex Surface may lead to the release of NGV material or the
blockage of Turbine gas flow. This results in a risk of fracture to
the HP Turbine Blade.
    Not all NGV assemblies are affected. It is believed that the
problem, if it exists, will manifest itself below 1000 cycles.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Rolls-Royce plc. has issued Alert Service Bulletin RB.211-72-AF995,
Revision 2, dated February 9, 2009. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of the
United Kingdom, and is approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the United Kingdom, they have
notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by EASA and determined the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of
the same type design.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    Since no domestic operators use this product, notice and
opportunity for public comment before issuing this AD are unnecessary.
Therefore, we are adopting this regulation immediately.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2009-0771; Directorate
Identifier 2009-NE-14-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact
with FAA personnel concerning this AD. Using the search function of the
Web site, anyone can find and read the comments in any of our dockets,
including, if provided, the name of the individual who sent the comment
(or signed the comment on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review the DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement
in the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477-78).

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

    We 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 this AD:

    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

[Docket No. FMCSA-2018-0347]

Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption;
Navistar, Inc. (Navistar)

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) has requested
an exemption for one commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver from the
Federal requirement to hold a U.S. commercial driver's license (CDL).
Navistar requests an exemption for Mr. Jerome Douay, a Product Engineer
Senior Manager with MAN Truck & Bus AG (MAN) in Munich, Germany, who
holds a valid German commercial license. MAN is

partnering with Navistar to help develop technology advancements in
fuel economy and emissions reductions. Mr. Douay wants to test drive
Navistar vehicles on U.S. roads to better understand product
requirements in ``real world'' environments, and verify results.
Navistar believes the requirements for a German commercial license
ensure that operation under the exemption will likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
obtained in the absence of the exemption. FMCSA requests public
comments on Navistar's application for exemption.

    If you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
notice (FMCSA-2018-0347), indicate the specific section of this
document to which the comment applies, and provide a reason for
suggestions or recommendations. You may submit your comments and
material online or by fax, mail, or hand delivery, but please use only
one of these means. FMCSA recommends that you include your name and a
mailing address, an email address, or a phone number in the body of
your document so the Agency can contact you if it has questions
regarding your submission.
    To submit your comment online, go to www.regulations.gov and put
the docket number, ``FMCSA-2018-0347'' in the ``Keyword'' box, and
click ``Search.'' When the new screen appears, click on ``Comment
Now!'' button and type your comment into the text box in the following
screen. Choose whether you are submitting your comment as an individual
or on behalf of a third party and then submit. If you submit your
comments by mail or hand delivery, submit them in an unbound format, no
larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for copying and electronic
filing. If you submit comments by mail and would like to know that they
reached the facility, please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard
or envelope. FMCSA will consider all comments and material received
during the comment period and may grant or not grant this application
based on your comments.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register
(49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for the grant or denial, and, if granted,
the specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the effective period of the exemption (up
to 5 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

III. Request for Exemption

    Navistar has applied for an exemption for Jerome Douay from 49 CFR
383.23, which prescribes licensing requirements for drivers operating
CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce. Mr. Douay is unable to
obtain a CDL in any of the U.S. States due to his lack of residency in
the United States. A copy of the application is in Docket No. FMCSA-
2018-0347.
    The exemption would allow Mr. Douay to operate CMVs in interstate
or intrastate commerce to support Navistar field tests designed to meet
future vehicle safety and environmental requirements and to promote
technological advancements in vehicle safety systems and emissions
reductions. Mr. Douay needs to drive Navistar vehicles on public roads
to better understand ``real world'' environments in the U.S. market.
According to Navistar, Mr. Douay will typically drive for no more than
6 hours per day for 2 consecutive days, and that 50 percent of the test
driving will be on two-lane State highways, while 50 percent will be on
Interstate highways. The driving will consist of no more than 250 miles
per day, for a total of 500 miles during a two-day period on a
quarterly basis. He will in all cases be accompanied by a holder of a
U.S. CDL who is familiar with the routes to be traveled.
    Mr. Douay holds a valid German commercial license, and as explained
by Navistar in its exemption request, the requirements for that license
ensure that, operating under the exemption, he would likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation. Furthermore, according to Navistar,
Mr. Douay is familiar with the operation of CMVs worldwide. Navistar

requests that the exemption cover the maximum allowable duration of 5
years.
    A copy of Navistar's application for exemption is available for
review in the docket for this notice.
