What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    (1) Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    (2) Describe any assumptions that you used.
    (3) Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you
used that support your views.
    (4) If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    (5) Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    (6) Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    (7) To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those private companies and municipalities that own or operate
landfills; manufacturers and suppliers of equipment/knowledge to
capture and utilize landfill gas; utility companies; end users of
energy from landfills; developers of landfill gas energy projects;
State agencies; and other landfill gas energy stakeholders.
    Title: Reporting Under EPA's Landfill Methane Outreach Program.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1849.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0446.
    ICR Status: This ICR will expire on 4/30/12. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a
collection of information, unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in Title
40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved,
are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of
OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40
CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Landfill Methane Outreach Program (LMOP), created by
EPA as part of the Climate Change Action Plan, is a voluntary program
designed to encourage and facilitate the development of environmentally
and economically sound landfill gas (LFG) energy projects across the
United States in order to reduce methane emissions from landfills. LMOP
does this by educating local governments and communities about the
benefits of LFG recovery and use; building partnerships between state
agencies, industry, energy service providers, local communities, and
other stakeholders interested in developing this valuable resource in
their community; and providing tools to evaluate LFG energy potential.
LMOP signs voluntary Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with these
organizations to enlist their support in promoting cost-effective LFG
utilization. The information collection includes completion and
submission of the MOU, and annual completion and submission of
information forms that include basic information on landfill methane
projects with which the organizations are involved as an effort to
update the LMOP Landfill and Landfill Gas Energy Project Database. The
information collection is to be utilized to maintain up-to-date data
and information about LMOP Partners and landfill methane projects with
which they are involved. The data will also be used by the public to
assess LFG energy project development opportunities in the United
States. In addition, the information collection will assist LMOP in
evaluating the reduction of methane emissions from landfills. Responses
to the information collection are voluntary.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 3.2
hours for each respondent. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
     Estimated total number of potential respondents: An
average of 1,220 existing Partners and an additional 113 new Partners
per year.
     Frequency of response: On occasion.
     Estimated total average number of responses for each
respondent: 1.8 responses per new respondent and 0.8 responses per
existing respondent.
     Estimated total annual burden hours: 4,215 hours.
     Estimated total annual costs: $334,298 per year. This
includes an estimated burden cost of $333,959 and an estimated cost of
$339 for maintenance and operational costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 1,670 hours in the total estimated annual
respondent burden and a decrease in average annual burden per
respondent of 1.5 hours compared with the burdens identified in the
existing ICR approved by OMB. The existing approved ICR included a one-
time, large-scale outreach to 1,000 additional landfill owners and
operators. This activity and group of entities are not included in the
scope of this ICR renewal, resulting in the overall decreases in total
hours and hours per respondent. This change is the result of a program
change. However, in the last approved ICR, Energy Partners were not
requested to update landfill gas energy project data, and under this
renewal, Energy Partners will be requested to provide updates on their
involvement in these projects. Also, there has been growth in the
number of overall Partners since the last renewal. There were 675
Partners as of July 2007, whereas there are 994 Partners as of
September 2011, a 47 percent increase in four years. These changes
offset the magnitude of the overall burden decrease. There have been no
major changes in how the information forms or MOU are dispersed or
collected since the last renewal. LMOP has previously implemented
simplifications and other changes to increase the efficiency of its ICR
process.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be
included in the public docket without change and may be made available
on line at http://www.regulations.gov. EPA's responses to any comments
received will also be included in the public docket, as part of the
supporting statement document. The final ICR package will then be
submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At
that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5
CFR

1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Dated: January 19, 2012.

Acting Director, Climate Change Division.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-73276; File No. SR-ISE-2014-41]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule
Change To Amend the Schedule of Fees

October 1, 2014.
    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 September 17, 2014, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(the ``Exchange'' or the ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I and II below, which Items have been prepared by
the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The ISE is proposing to amend the Schedule of Fees. The text of the
proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's Web site (http://www.ise.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 these statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The self-regulatory organization
has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the
most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    On June 6, 2013 the ISE implemented a temporary Managed Data Access
Service program that established a new pricing and distribution model
for the sale of a number of real-time market data products.\3\ On
December 20, 2013, the Exchange extended this program until May 30,
2014, and the program lapsed on that date.\4\ The Exchange now proposes
to institute another temporary Managed Data Access Service program on
the same terms, for an additional one year period ending August 31,
2015, so that the Exchange can continue to provide this alternative
delivery option for ISE data feeds.\5\ Managed Data Access Service is a
pricing and administrative option whereby the ISE assesses fees to
Managed Data Access Distributors,\6\ who redistribute market data to
Managed Data Access Recipients.\7\ Managed Data Access Distributors are
required to monitor the delivery of the data retransmitted to their
clients, and must agree to reformat, redisplay and/or alter the data
feeds prior to retransmission without affecting the integrity of the
data feeds and without rendering any of the feeds inaccurate, unfair,
uninformative, fictitious, misleading, or discriminatory.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 69806 (June 20,
2013), 78 FR 38424 (June 26, 2013) (ISE-2013-39). The Exchange also
offers a similar Managed Data Access Service program for its Implied
Volatility and Greeks Feed. See Securities Exchange Act Release No.
65678 (November 3, 2011), 76 FR 70178 (November 10, 2011) (ISE-2011-
67). This filing does not apply to the Managed Data Access Service
program for the Implied Volatility and Greeks Feed, which is a
permanent program.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71230 (January 2,
2014), 79 FR 1405 (January 8, 2014) (ISE-2013-74).
    \5\ The Managed Data Access Service program provides an
alternative delivery option for the Real-time Depth of Market Raw
Data Feed (``Depth Feed''), the Order Feed, the Top Quote Feed, and
the Spread Feed.
    \6\ A Managed Data Access Distributor redistributes ISE data
feeds and permits access to the information in those data feeds
through a controlled device. A Managed Data Access Distributor can
also redistribute a data feed solution to specific IP addresses,
including an Application Programming Interface (``API'') or similar
automated delivery solutions, with only limited entitlement controls
(e.g., usernames and/or passwords) to a recipient of the
information.
    \7\ A Managed Data Access Recipient is a subscriber to the
Managed Data Access Distributor who receives a reformatted data feed
in a controlled device or at a specific IP address. Market Data
Access Recipients may be Professional or Non-Professional users.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed fees for the Managed Data Access Service are as
follows:
    The Exchange proposes to charge a fee to each Managed Data Access
Distributor of $2,500 per month for the Depth Feed, $1,500 for each of
the Top Quote Feed and Spread Feed, and $1,000 per month for the Order
Feed. The Exchange also proposes to charge a fee for each IP address at
Managed Data Access Recipients that receive market data redistributed
by a Managed Data Access Distributor, which is $750 per month for the
Depth Feed, $500 per month for each of the Top Quote Feed and Spread
Feed, and $350 per month for the Order Feed.\8\ In addition, the
Exchange proposes to charge a controlled device fee for each controlled
device permitted to access market data redistributed by a Managed Data
Access Distributor to a Market Data Access Recipient that is a
Professional user,\9\ which is $50 per month for the Depth Feed, $20
per month for the Top Quote Feed, $25 per month for the Spread Feed,
and $10 per month for the Order Feed.\10\ Finally, the Exchange
proposes to charge a controlled device fee of $5 per month for each
controlled device permitted to access information in the Depth Feed
redistributed by a Managed Data Access Distributor to a Market Data
Access Recipient that is a Non-Professional user.\11\ For each of the
above ISE data feeds, Market Data Access Distributors are subject to a
minimum fee, which is $5,000 per month for the Depth Feed, $3,000 per
month for each of the Top Quote Feed and Spread Feed, and $2,000 per
month for the Order Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ This fee is charged per IP address, which covers both
primary and back-up IP addresses at a Managed Data Access Recipient.
    \9\ A ``Professional user'' is an authorized end-user of the ISE
data feeds that has not qualified as a Non-Professional user.
    \10\ A controlled device is any device that a distributor of an
ISE data feed permits to access the information in that data feed.
    \11\ There is no controlled device fee for Non-Professional
users of the Top Quote Feed, Spread Feed, or Order Feed. A ``Non-
Professional user'' is an authorized end-user of the ISE data feeds
who is a natural person and who is neither: (a) Registered or
qualified with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission, any state securities agency,
any securities exchange or association, or any commodities or
futures contract market or association; (b) engaged as an
``investment advisor'' as that term is defined Section 202(a)(11) of
the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (whether or not registered or
qualified under that act); nor (c) employed by a bank or other
organization exempt from registration under Federal and/or state
securities laws to perform functions that would require him/her to
be so registered or qualified if he/she were to perform such
functions for an organization not so exempt.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    These fees are the same as fees previously charged under the lapsed
the Managed Data Access Service program.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act,\12\ and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange,
including the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\13\ In
particular,

the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\14\ because
is designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanisms of a free and open market and
a national market system and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The Exchange also believes that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the provisions Section 6(b)(4) of the Act
\15\ in that it is designed to provide for the equitable allocation of
reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its members and other
persons using its facilities. The Exchange believes that the proposed
program is consistent with the protection of investors and the public
interest as the terms of the program are substantially similar to
managed data programs offered by other options exchanges,\16\ and will
provide a competitive fee model for subscribers to ISE market data. The
Exchange initially established a managed data program for a six month
period, later extended to a year, in order gauge the level of interest
in this new pricing and distribution model, and now wishes to institute
another temporary program so that it may continue to offer an
attractive pricing program that competes with programs offered by other
options exchanges. The Managed Data Access Service promotes broader
distribution of controlled data, while offering a pricing option that
should result in lower fees for subscribers. The Exchange continues to
believe that the fees for this program are fair and equitable as they
are consistent with fees previously charged under this program, and as
explained above are intended to offer a pricing model that should
result in lower fees for ISE market data subscribers. The Exchange is
constrained in pricing the Managed Data Access Service as these
services are entirely optional, and firms may choose whether or not to
purchase proprietary ISE market data products or to utilize any
specific pricing alternative. Moreover, the program is not unfairly
discriminatory because it provides an opportunity for all distributors
and subscribers, both Professional and Non-Professional, to access the
ISE data feeds at a potentially lower cost.

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
    \16\ A number of other exchanges have adopted managed data
access services to distribute their proprietary market data. See
e.g. Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 63276 (November 8, 2010),
75 FR 69717 (November 15, 2010) (SR-NASDAQ-2010-138); and 69182
(March 19, 2013), 78 FR 18378 (March 26, 2013) (SR-PHLX-2013-28).
ISE also currently offers managed data access service on a permanent
basis for the ISE Implied Volatility and Greeks Feed. See supra note
3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\17\ the Exchange
does not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden
on intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary,
the Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will promote
competition as it allows the ISE to continue to offer a temporary
program that provides an attractive alternative pricing model for ISE
market data that is similar to pricing programs in place on other
options exchanges. The vigor of competition for market data is
significant and the Exchange believes that this proposal clearly
evidences such competition. ISE proposes to offer this optional Managed
Access Data Service pricing model in order to keep pace with changes in
the industry and evolving customer needs.

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

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

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 \18\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\19\

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. RM06-7-000]

Proposed Amendments to Blanket Construction Certificates; Notice
of Petition for Rulemaking

December 5, 2005.
    On November 22, 2005, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America and the Natural Gas Supply Association filed a petition under
Sec.  385.2087(a) of the Commission's regulations seeking a rulemaking
to make certain regulatory and policy changes that they contend will
improve the ability of the natural industry to ensure the adequacy of
the interstate pipeline infrastructure.
    Specifically, the petition seeks a rulemaking to eliminate the
exclusion of mainline expansions, underground storage enhancements, and
LNG take-away facilities from blanket eligibility under Sec.
157.202(b)(2)(ii)(C) and (D) of the Commission's regulations. They also
request that the Commission revise the blanket dollar limits under
Sec.  157.208(d) of the Commission's regulations to reflect updated
project development and construction costs. Finally, they ask that the
Commission issue a policy statement or rule to clarify that it would
not constitute undue discrimination for a project's ``foundation
shippers'' to receive favorable rate treatment compared with other
shippers in the same project.
    The Commission has not yet determined whether the public interest
would be served by conducting the rulemaking proposed by the
petitioners and, in its discretion, brings this petition to the
attention of the public. This notice is not a notice of proposed
rulemaking, but merely provides the public with an opportunity to
comment in writing on the question of whether the Commission should
take further action on the petition. Any person desiring to be heard
with reference to the petition should file comments on or before
January 17, 2006.
    The petition is on file with the Commission and open to public
inspection at the Commission's Public Reference Room or may be viewed
on the Commission's Web site at http:/www.ferc.gov using the

``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number field to access the
document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I am 67 years old and smoked cigarettes since I was 20 years old. That's a lot of years. All I had to show for it was damaged lungs, COPD and a cough that was very irritating. My son introduced me to vaping about six months ago. My lungs are clear and no cough. Vaping helped me regain some of health back. As far as I'm concerned, vaping did save my life and I haven't smoked a cigarette since.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2016-0445]

Limited Purpose Cooperative Research and Development Agreement--
UAS Research With the University of Massachusetts Amherst

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of intent; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces its intent to enter into a
cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with several
companies to evaluate small unmanned aircraft systems (SUAS) and their
airborne sensors, to determine their potential for use in a maritime
environment by a first responder and DHS operational components. The
Coast Guard will conduct flight testing and evaluation of SUAS under a
wide variety of simulated but realistic and relevant real-world
maritime operational scenarios, such as law enforcement, search and
rescue, and maritime environmental response. While the Coast Guard is
currently considering partnering with the University of Massachusetts
Amherst, it 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 be submitted to the online docket via http://www.regulations.gov, or reach the Docket Management Facility, on or

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 other types of
agreements such as procurement contracts, grants, and cooperative
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
evaluate SUAS and their airborne sensors to determine their potential
for use in a maritime environment by a first responder and DHS
operational components.
    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) The R&D Center will define the objectives of the evaluation to
be conducted during this CRADA in a series of Assessment Plans that
will guide the execution of simulated but realistic and relevant real-
world maritime operational scenarios that will determine the sUAS'
ability to contribute to USCGC's mission effectiveness in the areas of:
(A) Counter GPS Jamming/Spoofing for sUAS; (B) Sense & Avoid Systems
for UAS; (C) UAS Traffic Monitoring Systems; and (D) NUSTAR standards
for airworthiness certifications;
    (2) Provide the SUAS test range, test range support, facilities,
and all approvals required for a 5 day demonstration under the CRADA;
    (3) Conduct the privacy threshold analysis required for the
demonstration;
    (4) Conduct the privacy impact assessment required for the
demonstration;
    (5) Coordinate any required spectrum approval for the SUAS;
    (6) Coordinate and receive any required interim flight clearance
for the demonstration;
    (7) Provide any required airspace coordination and de-confliction
for the demonstration test plan;
    (8) Collect and analyze demonstration test plan data; and
    (9) Develop a demonstration 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 the faculty, students, and professional researchers
with the required competencies, skill sets, and laboratory facilities
to collaborate on these topic areas;
    (2) Provide technically mature, flight proven sUAS, their fully-
integrated sensors, and sUAS operators. Those operators shall operate
the sUAS;
    (3) Supply access to wind tunnels, engineering/manufacturing
laboratories, and modeling and simulation software to meet evaluation
objectives in determining sUAS mission effectiveness; and
    (4) Provide personnel to collect data, analyze the data, and then
compile the results in a series of collaborative reports.
    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 the University of
Massachusetts Amherst for participation in this CRADA, because the
University of Massachusetts Amherst has demonstrated the ability to
operate

SUAS in a maritime environment. However, we do not wish to exclude
other viable participants from this or future similar CRADAs.
    This is a technology demonstration effort. The goal of this CRADA
is to identify and investigate the potential of the SUAS and their
airborne sensors to determine their potential use in a maritime
environment by the first responder and the DHS operational components.
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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments prior to it becoming effective. However, we
invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting written
comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to the
economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that resulted
from adopting this AD. The most helpful comments reference a specific
portion of the AD, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. To ensure the docket does not contain
duplicate comments, commenters should send only one copy of written
comments, or if comments are filed electronically, commenters should
submit them only one time. We will file in the docket all comments that
we receive, as well as a report summarizing each substantive public
contact with FAA personnel concerning this rulemaking during the
comment period. We will consider all the comments we receive and may
conduct additional rulemaking based on those comments.

Discussion

    In June 2017, we received a report of an incident involving an
Airbus Helicopters Model AS350B3 helicopter fitted with an IBF. The
helicopter took off in heavy rain and experienced an engine flameout as
the pilot increased power. The helicopter was less than 10 feet off the
ground when the pilot was forced to land immediately. An inspection
showed that violent water ingestion damaged six axial compressor
blades. During our investigation, the FAA received additional reports
of previous incidents of helicopters equipped with IBFs or induction
filter installations experiencing abnormal engine operations during
heavy precipitation.
    The FAA issued Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin SW-17-30,
dated October 13, 2017 \1\ (SAIB), to warn operators that persistent or
heavy rains may result in the inlet barrier filter media collecting and
retaining water. The SAIB recommended the following to affected owners
and operators:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ SAIB SW-17-30, dated October 13, 2017, may be viewed online
at http://rgl/faa/gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Use IBF covers when the rotorcraft is parked or towed
outside, particularly when precipitation is reported in the area;
     During the helicopter preflight inspection, visually
inspect the inlet and filter to verify that the inlet and filter medium
are dry and free of accumulated moisture;
     If the filter medium has moisture during the preflight
inspection, or if the rotorcraft is operating in heavy precipitation,
open the bypass doors if equipped; and
     When operating in precipitation, sudden and rapid power
transients should be avoided whenever practical.

Action Since the SAIB Was Issued

    After the SAIB was issued, we continued to investigate this issue
and determined that AD action was necessary for certain Pall
Corporation IBF dry-media filter elements. Filters that have a
hydrophobic coating resist water accumulation, while the dry-media
filters that are the subject of this AD accumulate water. The risk of
engine failure caused by the ingestion of an excessive amount of water
through the IBF element results in an unsafe condition that requires AD
action.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing 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 these same type
designs.

Related Service Information

    We reviewed Pall Corporation Service Information Letter
CE01301F2SINFOL, Revision A, dated July 15, 2015, which recommends
covering the engine inlet if the helicopter is outside while not
operating. The letter also recommends conducting pre-flight inspections
to ensure the engine inlet is clear of water.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires, within 30 days, revising the rotorcraft flight
manual supplement by inserting Appendix A of this AD into the
limitations section.

Differences Between This AD and the Service Information

    The service information allows for removing water and reinstalling
the IBF element if there is standing water on the engine inlet. This AD
prohibits operation unless the IBF element is dry.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action. The design approval
holder is currently developing a modification that will address the
unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this modification is
developed, approved, and available, we might consider additional
rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 81 helicopters of U.S.
Registry and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour. Based on these
estimates, we expect the following costs:
     Incorporating Appendix A of this AD into the rotorcraft
flight manual requires 1 work-hour and no parts for a cost of $85 per
helicopter and $6,885 for the U.S. fleet.
     Replacing the inlet barrier filter, if required, requires
2 work-hours and parts cost $3,995 for a cost of $4,165 per filter
replacement.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the unsafe condition requires corrective action within 30 days.
Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior
public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reason stated
above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

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, 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 to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

XX  Granted exemption request in part (see below)

XX  Balance Dismissed (i.e., for longer-term exemption authority)

The exemption authority granted was effective when taken:  May 17, 2004,
through  May 17, 2005

The statements of authorization granted were effective when taken: May
17, 2004, and will remain in effect indefinitely, subject to the
conditions listed below:

Action taken by:  Paul L. Gretch, Director

		  Office of International Aviation

XX  Authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreements between
the United States and Japan and between the United States and Thailand.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:

	XX Holder’s Foreign Air Carrier Permit (Thai)

	XX Standard Exemption Conditions (attached)

________________________________________________________________________
___________________

Remarks:  We note that Thai sought authority for a two-year period.
However, as is our usual practice in conferring exemption authority in
the circumstances presented, we are limiting the term of authority to
one year.  Thai may, of course, seek renewal of this authority.

Conditions:

The statements of authorization granted here to United Air Lines and
Thai are is subject to the following conditions:

(a)	The statements of authorization will remain in effect as long as (i)
United Air Lines and Thai continue to hold the necessary underlying
authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the
code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations remains in
effect.

(b)	United Air Lines and/or Thai must promptly notify the Department
(Office of International Aviation) if the code-share agreement providing
for the code-share operations is no longer effective or if the carriers
decide to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share
services.  Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2004-17624.

(c) 	The code-sharing operations conducted under this authority must
comply with 14 CFR Part 257 and with any amendments to the
Department’s regulations concerning code-share arrangements that may
be adopted.  Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the
carriers, our approval here is expressly conditioned upon the
requirements that the subject foreign air transportation be sold in the
name of the carrier holding out such service in computer reservation
systems and elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation
(i.e. the carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the
entirety of the code-share journey for all obligations established in
its contract of carriage with the passengers; and that the passenger
liability of the operating carrier be unaffected.  Further, the
operating carrier shall not permit the code of its U.S. air carrier
code-sharing partner to be carried on any flights that enter, depart, or
transit the airspace of any area for whose airspace the Federal Aviation
Administration has issued a flight prohibition.

(d)	The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither United Air Lines nor Thai shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

________________________________________________________________________
____________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(n) of the
Department’s regulations, we found the applicants qualified to provide
the services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation
Administration’s Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards

sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: (a) based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;
