SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Overview

    Forest River, Inc. (Forest River), has determined that certain
model year (MY) 2008-2016 Glaval, 2012-2016 Starcraft, and 2014-2016
StarTrans buses do not fully comply with paragraph S5.5.1 of Federal
Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 217, Bus emergency exits and
window retention and release. Forest River filed reports dated April
14, 2016, and subsequently revised those reports on June 7, 2016,
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility
and Reports. Forest River then petitioned NHTSA under 49 CFR part 556,
pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and their implementing
regulations at 49 CFR part 556, for an exemption from the notification
and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
    This notice of receipt of Forest River's petition is published
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency
decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.

II. Buses Involved

    Affected are approximately 476 MY 2014-2016 StarTrans Bus Senator
2, Senator HD, Candidate 2, President, and PS 2 model buses
manufactured between May 16, 2014 and April 6, 2016; approximately
7,716 MY 2012-2016 Starcraft Bus Xpress, Starquest, Starlite, Allstar,
Allstar XL, MVP, Ultrastar, and XLT model buses manufactured between
January 1, 2012 and April 6, 2016; and approximately 1,860 MY 2008-2016
Forest River, Inc. Glaval Bus Apollo, Concorde II, Entourage, Legacy,
Primetime, Sport, Titan, Titan II and Titan II Low Floor model buses
manufactured between August 1, 2008 and March 6, 2016.

III. Noncompliance

    Forest River explains that the noncompliance results from the
misplacement of the emergency egress labels on the emergency exit doors
of the subject buses. Specifically, the emergency egress labels on the
affected buses were centered on the window and are located within 25
centimeters of each of the release mechanisms, and not within 16
centimeters, as required by paragraph S5.5.1 of FMVSS No. 217. The
labels are approximately 11 centimeters (or 4 inches) from where they
are required to be on the exit doors.

IV. Rule Text

    Paragraph S5.5.1 of FMVSS No. 217 requires in pertinent part:

    S5.5.1 In buses other than school buses, and except for windows
serving as emergency exits in accordance with S<IP_ADDRESS>(b) and doors
in buses with a GVWR of 10,000 pounds or less, each emergency exit
door shall have the designation ``Emergency Door'' or ``Emergency
Exit,'' and every other emergency exit shall have the designation
``Emergency Exit'' followed by concise operating instructions
describing each motion necessary to unlatch and open the exit,
located within 16 centimeters of the release mechanism. . . .

V. Summary of Forest River's Petition

    Forest River described the subject noncompliance and stated its
belief that the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor
vehicle safety.
    In support of its petition, Forest River submitted the following
reasoning:
    (a) Since the promulgation of the FMVSS No. 217 original final
rule, the primary purpose in requiring the emergency exit markings to
be located within a set distance from the release mechanism has been to
ensure that they are: (1) Located near the point of release and (2) are
visible to passengers. See 37 FR 9394, 9395 (May 10, 1972, final rule).
Both of these safety objectives are still met in the affected Forest
River vehicles.
    (b) All of the emergency egress windows are located on the rear
wall of the affected buses. The markings are readable and the
instructions on how to operate the release mechanism are concise and
understandable as currently installed. The release mechanism is painted
red, and contrasts with the black window frame and hardware. Centered
in the window, the emergency exit marking is unobstructed by any other
part of the window or the vehicle and should be readily apparent to
passengers. Consequently, the location of the emergency egress
designation labels in relation to the release mechanism do not
compromise safety with regard to a passenger's ability to identify an
emergency egress location or easily operate the release mechanism.
    (c) The affected vehicles are transit buses, generally operated by
private companies and would typically have trained drivers operating
the vehicles and present to assist passengers exiting the vehicle in
the event of an emergency. With a trained professional driver present,
an emergency exit marking that is located approximately 4 inches
further than allowed from the release mechanism is unlikely to have any
tangible impact on passenger safety.
    (d) The agency has previously granted petitions for inconsequential
noncompliance under FMVSS No. 217 for conditions with the potential for
a more direct and serious impact on safety. See NHTSA Docket No. 98-
3791, New Flyer of America, Inc. (granting petition for inconsequential
noncompliance where buses were manufactured with only one emergency
exit instead of two); NHTSA Docket No. 2005-20545, IC Corporation,
(granting petition for inconsequential noncompliance where school buses
were manufactured with two emergency doors under the same post and roof
bow panel space).
    (e) Forest River is not aware of any complaints, warranty claims,
accidents, injuries, or other field incidents related to the emergency
egress markings not meeting the requirements of the standard. Forest
River has corrected the

noncompliance on all of the remaining windows in its possession. Forest
River is also advised that Lippert Components, Inc. (LCI), the
manufacturer of the windows and emergency exit marking labels, has
corrected the noncompliance in its own production beginning on April 7,
2016.
    Forest River's complete petition and all supporting documents are
available by logging onto the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS)
Web site at: https://www.regulations.gov/ and following the online
search instructions to locate the docket number listed in the title of
this notice.
    In summation, Forest River believes that the described
noncompliance in the subject buses is inconsequential as it relates to
motor vehicle safety, and that its petition to exempt Forest River from
providing notification of the noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C.
30118, and remedying the noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120,
should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject buses that Forest River no
longer controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance
existed. However, any decision on this petition does not relieve
vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer
for sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant buses under their control after Forest
River notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: Delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP23-22-000]

Great Lakes Gas Transmission Limited Partnership; Notice of
Application and Establishing Intervention Deadline

    Take notice that on December 8, 2022, Great Lakes Gas Transmission
Limited Partnership (Great Lakes), 700 Louisiana Street, Suite 1300,
Houston, Texas 77002-2700, filed in the above referenced docket, an
application under section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA), and Part
157 of the Commission's regulations requesting authorization to
temporarily abandon a portion of its certificated horsepower at its
Compressor Station No. 1 located near St. Vincent, Minnesota, and to
temporarily abandon the associated system design capacity from Great
Lakes' point of receipt at Emerson in Kittson County, Minnesota, to its
point of delivery at Fortune Lake in Iron County, Michigan.
    More specifically, Great Lakes requests to temporarily abandon, for
up to 36 months, the certificated horsepower of Station No. 1 from
32,330 HP to 15,830 HP and reduce the associated design capacity from
2,049 MDth/d to 1,905 MDth/d in the summer (144 MDth/d) and from 2,132
MDth/d to 1,947 MDth/d in the winter (185 MDth/d) from Great Lakes'
point of receipt at Emerson in Kittson County, Minnesota, to its point
of delivery at Fortune Lake in Iron County, Michigan, all as more fully
set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission and
open to public inspection.
    In its application, Great Lakes states that the temporary
abandonments will have no impact on service to Great Lakes' shippers
because the capacity being abandoned is unsubscribed and the HP being
abandoned has not been used by Great Lakes for deliverability since
2018-2019. Great Lakes also states that these temporary abandonments
will allow Great Lakes time for an analysis of long-term needs for this
capacity versus the cost of repair or replacement of certain compressor
units on its system.
    In addition to publishing the full text of this document in the
Federal Register, the Commission provides all interested persons an
opportunity to view and/or print the contents of this document via the
internet through the Commission's Home Page (http://www.ferc.gov) using

Plan if it satisfies the

requirements of Section I(c) of the Plan. Specifically, an SRO may
become a party to the Symbology Plan if: (i) It maintains a market for
the listing or trading of Plan Securities,\5\ in accordance with rules
approved by the Commission, which securities are identified by one,
two, or three character symbols, on the one hand, or four or five
character symbols, on the other hand, in each case prior to any suffix
or special conditional identifier; (ii) it signs a current copy of the
Plan; and (iii) it pays to the other parties a proportionate share of
the aggregate development costs, based upon the number of symbols
reserved by the new party during the first twelve (12) months of such
party's membership.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On November 18, 2008, ISE filed with the Commission an
amendment to the Plan to add ISE as a member to the Plan. See
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59024 (November 26, 2008), 73 FR
74538 (December 8, 2008) (File No. 4-533).

securities that: (i) Are NMS securities as currently defined in Rule
600(a)(46) under the Act; and (ii) any other equity securities
quoted, traded and/or trade reported through an SRO facility.
    \6\ Sections I(c) and IV(a) of the Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The NYSE Group Exchanges and CBOE have submitted a signed copy of
the Symbology Plan to the Commission in accordance with the requirement
set forth in the Symbology Plan regarding new parties to the plan.

II. Effectiveness of the Proposed Symbology Plan Amendment

    The foregoing proposed Symbology Plan amendments have become
effective pursuant to Rule 608(b)(3)(iii) \7\ because it involves
solely technical or ministerial matters. At any time within sixty days
of the filing of these amendments, the Commission may summarily
abrogate the amendment and require that it be refiled pursuant to
paragraph (b)(1) of Rule 608,\8\ if it appears to the Commission that
such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the
protection of investors or the maintenance of fair and orderly markets,
to remove impediments to, and perfect the mechanisms of, a national
market system or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2022-0105]

Cooperative Research and Development Agreement--Evaluation of
Teledyne FLIR SF280HDEP

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces its intent to enter into a

with electro-optical/infra-red (E.O./IR) systems. The Coast Guard is
currently considering partnering with Teledyne FLIR, Inc. and solicits
public comment on the possible participation of other parties in the
proposed CRADA, and the nature of that participation. The Coast Guard
also invites other potential non-Federal participants, who have the
interest and capability to bring similar contributions to this type of
research, to consider submitting proposals for consideration in similar
CRADAs.

DATES: Comments must reach the Coast Guard on or before March 24, 2022.
Synopses of proposals regarding future CRADAs must also reach the Coast
Guard on or before March 24, 2022

ADDRESSES: Submit comments online at http://www.regulations.gov
following website instructions. Submit synopses of proposals regarding
future CRADAs to Mr. Jay Carey at his address listed in the FOR FURTHER

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We request public comments on this notice. Although we do not plan
to publish responses to comments in the Federal Register, we will
respond directly to commenters and may modify our proposal in light of
comments.
    Comments should be marked with docket number USCG-2022-0105 and
should provide a reason for each suggestion or recommendation. You
should provide personal contact information so that we can contact you
if we have questions regarding your comments; but please note that all
comments will be posted to the online docket without change and that
any personal information you include can be searchable online. For more
about privacy and the docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice. We do accept anonymous comments.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal Portal at
http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be submitted using
http://www.regulations.gov, contact the Coast Guard (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT). Documents mentioned in this notice and all public
comments, will be in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov
and can be viewed by following that website's instructions.
Additionally, if you go to the online docket and sign up for email
alerts, you will be notified when comments are posted.
    Do not submit detailed proposals for future CRADAs to http://www.regulations.gov. Instead, submit them directly to the Coast Guard
(see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT).

Discussion

    CRADAs are authorized under 15 U.S.C. 3710(a).\1\ A CRADA promotes
the transfer of technology to the private sector for commercial use, as
well as specified research or development efforts that are consistent
with the mission of the Federal parties to the CRADA. The Federal party
or parties agree with one or more non-Federal parties to share research
resources, but the Federal party does not contribute funding.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The statute confers this authority on the head of each
Federal agency. The Secretary of DHS's authority is delegated to the
Coast Guard and other DHS organizational elements by DHS Delegation
No. 0160.1, para. II.B.34.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have
a specific purpose and should not be confused with procurement
contracts, grants, and other type of agreements.
    Under the proposed CRADA, the Coast Guard's Research and
Development Center (R&DC) will collaborate with one or more non-Federal
participants. Together, the R&DC and the non-Federal participants will
identify the capabilities, benefits, risks, and technical limitations
of enhancing the SF280HD-EP to operate in support of USCG missions.
    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) In conjunction with the non-Federal participant(s), assist in
developing the evaluation test plan to be executed under the CRADA;
    (2) Provide the small unmanned aircraft system (SUAS) test range,
test range support, facilities, and all approvals required for SUAS
operation under the CRADA;
    (3) Provide airborne targets, operators, and associated equipment
necessary to conduct the evaluation test plan;
    (4) Coordinate and receive any Unmanned Flight Clearance (UFC) for
the evaluations to be executed under this CRADA, as required, to
include: Privacy Threshold Analysis, Privacy Impact Assessment,
Spectrum Approval with the Office of Information Assurance and Spectrum
Policy (CG-65), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the
National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) Local
Range

spectrum de-confliction/authorization entities
    (5) Collaboratively collect and analyze evaluation test plan data;
and
    (6) Collaboratively develop a final report documenting the
methodologies, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of this CRADA
work.
    We anticipate that the non-Federal participants' contributions
under the proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide SF280HDEP system and all other equipment to conduct the
evaluation described in test plan;
    (2) Provide all required operators and technicians to conduct the
evaluation;
    (3) Provide shipment and delivery of all equipment required for the
evaluation; and
    (4) Provide own travel, personnel, and other expenses as required.
    (5) Collaboratively collect and analyze evaluation test plan data;
and
    (6) Collaboratively develop a final report documenting the
methodologies, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of this CRADA
work.
    The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants
all, some, or no proposals submitted for this CRADA. The Coast Guard
will provide no funding for reimbursement of proposal development
costs. Proposals and any other material submitted in response to this
notice will not be returned. Proposals submitted are expected to be
unclassified and have no more than five single-sided pages (excluding
cover page, DD 1494, JF-12, etc.). The Coast Guard will select
proposals at its sole discretion on the basis of:
    (1) How well they communicate an understanding of, and ability to
meet, the proposed CRADA's goal; and
    (2) How well they address the following criteria:
    (a) Technical capability to support the non-Federal party
contributions described; and
    (b) Resources available for supporting the non-Federal party
contributions described.
    Currently, the Coast Guard is considering Teledyne FLIR, Inc. for
participation in this CRADA, because they have a solution in place for
providing E.O./IR target auto classification. However, we do not wish
to exclude other viable participants from this or future similar
CRADAs.
    The goal of this CRADA is to evaluate the potential of modifying
E.O./IR target auto classification technology. Special consideration
will be given to small business firms/consortia, and preference will be
given to business units located in the U.S.
    This notice is issued under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 15
U.S.C. 3710(a).

    Dated: February 16, 2022.

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0388; Project Identifier MCAI-2020-01604-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; MHI RJ Aviation ULC (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Bombardier, Inc.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series
700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series 550), CL-600-2D15
(Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900), and
CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. This proposed AD was
prompted by reports of the failure of certain primary ejector fuel feed
flexible hoses, which may have a thinner liner than specified by design
requirements, and are therefore more susceptible to cracking. This
proposed AD would require replacing the hoses. The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Background

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued TCCA AD CF-2020-03, dated March 5,
2020 (TCCA AD CF-2020-03) (also referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain MHI RJ Aviation ULC Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701 & 702), CL-600-2C11 (Regional Jet Series
550), CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705), CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet
Series 900), and CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. You
may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-0388.
    This proposed AD was prompted by reports of the failure of primary
ejector fuel feed flexible hoses with more than 30,000 flight hours,
installed in accordance with Bombardier Service Bulletin 670BA-28-008C,
dated January 23, 2003. In four of the events, the fuel was leaking
inside the center fuel tank from the cracked inner liner of the hose,
and caused a lateral fuel imbalance condition on the airplane. These
events resulted in an emergency descent or air turn back (ATB).
Subsequent investigation determined that hoses with part numbers (P/N)
CC670-62022-3 and CC670-62022-4, and serial numbers 001 through 2470
inclusive, may have a thinner Teflon[supreg] liner than specified by
the design requirements, and therefore are more susceptible to
cracking. Analysis also indicates that, depending on the size of the
crack and the resultant amount of fuel leakage, a fuel supply
disruption to the engines could be significant enough to cause an
inflight engine shutdown (IFSD). The FAA is proposing this AD to
address a possible fuel hose leak, which could cause a lateral
imbalance with an adverse effect on the airplane's controllability, or
could result in a dual IFSD. See the MCAI for additional background
information.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Service Bulletin 670BA-28-040, dated
September 30, 2019. This service information describes procedures for,
among other actions, replacing any primary ejector fuel feed flexible
hose, (P/N) CC670-62022-3 and CC670-62022-4, having serial numbers 001
through 2470 inclusive. 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

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority,
the FAA has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
and service information referenced above. The FAA is proposing this AD
because the FAA evaluated all the relevant information and determined
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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 457 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0698; Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-047-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-02-
03, which applies to certain The Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300,
and -400ER series airplanes. AD 2017-02-03 requires inspection of the
plastic potable water coupling, and corrective actions if necessary;
installation of new spray shrouds; and inspection of previously
installed spray shields, and related investigative and corrective
actions if necessary. Since we issued AD 2017-02-03, we have determined
that it is necessary to modify a hose assembly installation for certain
airplanes, and add airplanes to the applicability. This proposed AD
would add airplanes to the applicability and, for certain airplanes,
require hose assembly removals and installations. We are proposing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 5,
2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2017-0698;
Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-047-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed 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 we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    On January 11, 2017, we issued AD 2017-02-03, Amendment 39-18782
(82 FR 10541, February 14, 2017) (``AD 2017-02-03''), for certain The
Boeing Company Model 767-200, -300, and -400ER series airplanes. AD
2017-02-03 requires inspection of the plastic potable water couplings,
corrective actions if necessary, and installation of new spray shrouds.
It also requires inspection of the prior installed spray shield to
determine it has two slits and is installed correctly, and related
investigative and corrective actions if necessary. AD 2017-02-03
resulted from a report of a malfunction of the engine indication and
crew alerting system (EICAS) during flight. We issued AD 2017-02-03 to
prevent an uncontrolled water leak from a defective potable water
system coupling, which could cause the main equipment center (MEC) line
replaceable units (LRUs) to become wet, resulting in an electrical
short and potential loss of several functions essential for safe
flight.

Actions Since AD 2017-02-03 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2017-02-03, we have determined that additional
airplanes are subject to the unsafe condition and therefore it is
necessary to add airplanes to the applicability. We have also
determined that the service information specified in AD 2017-02-03 does
not adequately address the identified unsafe condition for certain
airplanes; therefore, we find it necessary to require, for certain
airplanes, removing three hose assemblies and installing four new hose
assemblies.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0073, Revision 3,

dated September 8, 2016 (``Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0073,
R3''). The service information describes procedures for, among other
actions, removing three hose assemblies and installing four new hose
assemblies. 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

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2017-02-
03. Although this proposed AD does not explicitly restate the actions
in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0073, Revision 2, dated August
10, 2015, that are part of the requirements of AD 2017-02-03, this
proposed AD would retain certain requirements. Those requirements are
referenced in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0073, R3, which, in
turn, is referenced in paragraph (g) of this proposed AD. Paragraph (g)
of this proposed AD would require accomplishment of the actions
identified as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in the Accomplishment
Instructions of Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-38A0073, R3. This
proposed AD would also add airplanes to the applicability. For
information on the procedures and compliance times, see this service
information at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2017-0698.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 139 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
                Action                         Labor cost           Parts cost        product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspections (retained actions from AD   Up to 10 work[dash]hours              $0            $850        $109,650
 2017[dash]02[dash]03) (129 airplanes).  x $85 per hour = $850.
Installation (retained actions from AD  3 work[dash]hours x $85              330             585          75,465
 2017[dash]02[dash]03) (129 airplanes).  per hour = $255.
Inspections (new proposed action) (10   Up to 10 work[dash]hours               0             850           8,500
 airplanes).                             x $85 per hour = $850.
Installation (new proposed actions)     3 work[dash]hours x $85              330             585           8,775
 (15 airplanes).                         per hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

                 Estimated Cost for On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Labor cost              Parts cost        Cost per product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 4 work[dash]hours x $85             $53   Up to $393.
 per hour = $340.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2007-28734; Notice 2]

DaimlerChrysler Corporation, Grant of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance

    DaimlerChrysler Corporation (DCC) \1\ has determined that certain
model year (MY) 2007 motor vehicles do not comply with paragraph
S4.3(d) of 49 CFR 571.110, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 110, Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles With a GVWR
of 4,536 Kilograms (10,000 pounds) or Less. DCC filed an appropriate
report pursuant to 49 CFR Part 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports identifying approximately 3,037 MY 2007
Dodge Dakota (Dakota) pickup trucks produced between May 8, 2006 and
March 16, 2007 that do not comply with the paragraph of FMVSS No. 110
cited above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Now known as Chrysler, LLC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and the rule
implementing those provisions at 49 CFR Part 556, DCC has petitioned
for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49
U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Notice of receipt of the
petition was published, with a 30-day public comment period, on October
4, 2007 in the Federal Register (72 FR 56824). No comments were
received. To view the petition and all supporting documents, log on to
the Federal Docket Management System (FDMS) Web site at: http://
www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online search instructions to
locate docket number ``NHTSA-2007-28734.''
    For further information on this decision, contact Mr. John
Finneran, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Paragraph S4.3(d) of FMVSS No. 110 requires in pertinent part that:

    S4.3 Placard. Each vehicle, except for a trailer or incomplete
vehicle, shall show the information specified in S4.3 (a) through
(g), * * *
    (d) Tire size designation, indicated by the headings ``size'' or
``original tire size'' or ``original size,'' and ``spare tire'' or
``spare,'' for the tires installed at the time of the first purchase
for purposes other than resale. For full size spare tires, the
statement ``see above'' may, at the manufacturer's option replace
the tire size designation. If no spare tire is provided, the word
``none'' must replace the tire size designation; * * *

    By way of background, DCC explains that MY 2006 Dakotas were
equipped with five P265/65R17 tires--the four tires installed on the
vehicle at time of sale and the spare tire. The vehicle placard on the
MY 2006 Dakota accurately reflected the sizes of the tires. DCC further
explained that they decided to equip the subsequent MY 2007 Dakota with
P265/60R18 tires. However, prior to the actual launch of the MY 2007
vehicles, DCC discovered that a P265/60R18 tire would not fit properly
in the spare tire location on the vehicle. Therefore, DCC decided to
retain the P265/65R17 tire as the spare tire, while going forward with
the decision to use P265/60R18 tires as in-service original equipment.
Unfortunately, the vehicle placards affixed to the subject MY 2007
Dakotas were not revised to reflect the decision to use the P265/65R17
spare tire; therefore, the vehicles do not comply with S4.3(d).
    DCC argues that the noncompliance, the erroneous designation of the
size of the spare tire on the vehicle placard, does not have any
adverse safety impact. In DCC's estimation, the P265/60R18 tire and the
P265/65R17 tire are equivalent. It supports this estimation by stating
that the recommended cold tire inflation pressure specified on the
vehicle placard--240 kPa (35 psi)--is appropriate for either P265/60R18
or P265/65R17 tires when mounted for service on the Dakota, and that
the Tire & Rim Association Handbook confirms that the P265/65R17 spare
tire supplied with the vehicles can carry more weight at 35 psi (2,124
pounds) than the P265/60R18 tire referred to on the erroneous vehicle
placard (2,064 pounds).
    DCC states that all other information provided on the 2007 Dakota
vehicle placard is correct.
    In summation, DCC states that it has corrected the problem that
caused these errors so that they will not be repeated in future
production and that it believes that because the noncompliance is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety that no corrective action is
warranted.

NHTSA Decision

    NHTSA agrees with DCC that the erroneous designation of the size of
the spare tire on the placard affixed to the subject vehicles does not
have any adverse safety implications. The intent of FMVSS No. 110 is to
ensure that vehicles are equipped with tires appropriate to handle
maximum vehicle loads and prevent overloading. The subject 2007 Dodge
Dakota pickup trucks are equipped with four P265/60R18 tires that have
a load rating of 2,064 pounds (de-rated by 1.1 when inflated to the
recommended inflation pressure of 35 psi listed on the vehicle placard
required by FMVSS No. 110). As required by FMVSS No. 110, these tires
are appropriate for the vehicle's stated front and rear gross axle
weight ratings. The same P265/60R18 tire size is listed on the placard
for the spare tire. The actual spare tire provided with the vehicle is
a P265/65R17. This tire has more load carrying capability, 2,124 pounds
(de-rated by 1.1 at 35 psi), than the P265/60R18 tires. Both the actual
provided spare tire and the spare tire indicated on the vehicle placard
meet the FMVSS No. 110 loading requirements at the recommended cold
inflation pressure of 35 psi. DCC is not aware of any customer
complaints or field reports relating to this issue and stated that it
has corrected the problem that caused these errors so that they will
not be repeated in future production.
    In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has decided that DCC has
met its burden of persuasion that the labeling noncompliances described
are inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. Accordingly, DCC's
petition is granted and the petitioner is exempted from the obligation
of providing notification of, and a remedy for, the noncompliances
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120; delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.50 and 501.8.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance entitled
``Investigational New Drug Applications for Positron Emission
Tomography (PET) Drugs.'' The guidance summarizes the IND process for
PET drugs, makes recommendations for how to submit an IND, provides
advice on expanded access options for investigational PET drugs, and
describes the process for requesting permission to charge for an
investigational PET drug.
    A draft guidance of the same title was announced in the Federal
Register on February 14, 2012 (77 FR 8262), and Docket No. FDA-2012-D-
0081 was open for comments until May 14, 2012. We received comments
from industry and professional societies. We have carefully considered,
and where appropriate, we have made corrections, added information, or
clarified the information in this guidance in response to the comments
or on our own initiative.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
Agency's current thinking on the submission of INDs for PET drugs. It
does not create or confer any rights for or on any person and does not
operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternative approach may be used
if such approach satisfies the requirements of the applicable statutes
and regulations.

II. Comments

    Interested persons may submit either written comments regarding
this document to the Division of Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) or
electronic comments to http://www.regulations.gov. It is only necessary
to send one set of comments. Identify comments with the docket number
found in brackets in the heading of this document. Received comments
may be seen in the Division of Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4
p.m., Monday through Friday, and will be posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). INDs
and requests to charge for a drug under an IND are submitted to FDA
under part 312 (21 CFR part 312). New drug applications and abbreviated
new drug applications are submitted to FDA under Sec. Sec.  314.50 and
314.94 (21 CFR 314.50 and 314.94). The collections of information in
part 312 and in Sec. Sec.  314.50 and 314.94 have been approved under
OMB control numbers 0910-0014 and 0910-0001.
