ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0714; FRL-8816-3]

Cloquintocet-mexyl; Pesticide Tolerances

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is amending 40 CFR 180.560 to add a reference to the

II. Petition for Tolerance

    EPA has received a petition from Arysta LifeScience North America,
LLC, 15401 Weston Parkway, Cary, NC 27513, requesting an amendment to
the existing tolerances for the inert ingredient (safener) (acetic acid
[(5-chloro-8-quinolinyl) oxy]-, 1-methylhexyl ester; CAS Reg. No.
99607-70-2) and its acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-quinolinoxyacetic
acid). For ease of reading this document, acetic acid [(5-chloro-8-
quinolinyl) oxy]-, 1-methylhexyl ester will be referred to as
cloquintocet-mexyl. EPA published two final rules to establish
tolerances for the safener under 40 CFR 180.560 in the Federal Register
of June 22, 2000 (65 FR 38757) (FRL-6592-4) and the Federal Register of
December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74679) (FRL-7753-4). These tolerances
establish tolerances for cloquintocet-mexyl when used as an inert
ingredient (safener) in pesticide formulations containing the active
ingredients pinoxaden (wheat or barley) or clodinafop-propargyl (wheat
only). In addition, a final rule that established tolerances for this
safener was published in the Federal Register of March 5, 2008 (73 FR
11816) (FRL-8350-8). That final rule amended 40 CFR 180.560 by adding a
reference to the active ingredient pyroxsulam (wheat only), and
increased the existing tolerances for residues of cloquintocet-mexyl in
or on wheat, forage and wheat, hay, and removed the specification of a
1:4 ratio inert ingredient safener to active ingredient from the
tolerance expression.
    In the Federal Register of October 7, 2009 (74 FR 51597) (FRL-8792-
7), EPA issued a notice pursuant to section 408(d)(3) of FFDCA, 21
U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), announcing the filing of the above-referenced
pesticide petition (PP 9E7592) by Arysta LifeScience North America,
LLC. The petition requested that 40 CFR 180.560 be amended by expanding
the tolerance to cover cloquintocet-mexyl residues when used in
formulation with the active ingredient flucarbazone-sodium on wheat. No
numerical change to the tolerances for the specific wheat commodities
was sought. That notice referenced a summary of the petition prepared
by Arysta LifeScience North America, LLC, the registrant, which is
available to the public in the docket, http://www.regulations.gov.
There were no comments received in response to the notice of filing.

III. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(b)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish a
tolerance (the legal limit for a pesticide chemical residue in or on a
food) only if EPA determines that the tolerance is ``safe.'' Section
408(b)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines ``safe'' to mean that ``there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure
to the pesticide chemical residue, including all anticipated dietary
exposures and all other exposures for which there is reliable
information.'' This includes exposure through drinking water and in
residential settings, but does not include occupational exposure.
Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA requires EPA to give special
consideration to exposure of infants and children to the pesticide
chemical residue in establishing a tolerance and to ``ensure that there
is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to infants and
children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue. . .
.''
    Consistent with section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, and the factors
specified in section 408(b)(2)(D) of FFDCA, EPA has reviewed the
available scientific data and other relevant information in support of
this action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to
make a determination on aggregate exposure for the chemical. The
Agency's decision document for this action is available on EPA's
Electronic Docket at http://www.regulations.gov/ under docket ID number
EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0714. For the full toxicity data and information on
which this risk assessment is based, the reader is referred to the
final rules establishing tolerances for cloquintocet-mexyl that
published in in the Federal Register of March 5, 2008, December 16,
2005, and June 22, 2000.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered its
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and
children. Specific information on the studies received and the nature
of the adverse effects caused by cloquintocet-mexyl as well as the no-
observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-observed-adverse-
effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies are discussed in the
final rules published on March 5, 2008, December 16, 2005, and June 22,
2000. In these final rules, the Agency reviewed the available
information on cloquintocet-mexyl submitted by the petitioners as well
as additional information available to EPA. The toxicity database is
sufficient for cloquintocet-mexyl and has not changed since the time of
those publications. Therefore, only a brief summary is provided here.
    Cloquintocet-mexyl has a low order of acute oral, dermal, and
inhalation toxicity. It is slightly irritating to the eyes and non-
irritating to the skin. Cloquintocet-mexyl is a skin sensitizer. The
chemical is not genotoxic and is not a reproductive and developmental
toxicant. There is no evidence of neurotoxicity in the available
studies. Cloquintocet-mexyl is classified as ``not likely to be a human
carcinogen.'' The main metabolite for cloquintocet-mexyl is 5-chloro-8-
quin-linoxyacetic acid, and testing on the metabolite is part of the
toxicology database for cloquintocet-mexyl. For additional information
on the human health toxicity data for cloquintocet-mexyl and its
metabolite, see EPA's Electronic Docket at http://www regulations.gov
and the Federal Register of March 5, 2008, December 16, 2005, and June
22, 2000.

B. Exposure Assessment

    In examining aggregate exposure, the FFDCA section 408 directs EPA
to consider available information concerning exposures from the
pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures,
including drinking water from ground water or surface water and
exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings
(residential and other indoor

uses). In the 2008 rulemaking, EPA assessed human exposure to
cloquintocet-mexyl from use on wheat and barley. EPA assumed that 100%
of the wheat and barley crops were treated with cloquintocet-mexyl and
that residues on all wheat and barley commodities were at the tolerance
level. The Agency has determined that this assessment is sufficient for
the current amendment to the cloquintocet-mexyl tolerance expression
because no new crops are being added and the label requirements limit
the total number of applications from all of the various cloquintocet-
mexyl safener products to one application from this group of pesticides
on a crop per growing season. For additional information on the
exposure assessment for cloquintocet-mexyl, see the docket and the
Federal Register of March 5, 2008.

C. Cumulative Effects From Substances With a Common Mechanism of
Toxicity

    Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering
whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency
consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative effects of
a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances that have a
common mechanism of toxicity.''
    EPA has not found cloquintocet-mexyl to share a common mechanism of
toxicity with any other substances, and cloquintocet-mexyl does not
appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For
the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, EPA has assumed that
cloquintocet-mexyl does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with
other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine
which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the
cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's website at http://
www.epa.gov/pesticides/cumulative.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    1. In general. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA
shall apply an additional tenfold (10X) margin of safety for infants
and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal
and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the database on toxicity
and exposure unless EPA determines based on reliable data that a
different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. This
additional margin of safety is commonly referred to as the FQPA SF. In
applying this provision, EPA either retains the default value of 10X,
or uses a different additional safety factor when reliable data
available to EPA support the choice of a different factor.
    2. Prenatal and postnatal sensitivity. There was no evidence of
increased susceptibility of in utero or post-natal exposure to rats or
rabbits in the prenatal developmental studies or in rats in the 2-
generation reproduction study. NOAELs for maternal/parental toxicity
were either less than or equal to the NOAELs for fetal or reproductive
toxicity.
     3. Conclusion. EPA has determined that reliable data show that the
safety of infants and children would be adequately protected if the
FQPA SF were reduced to 1X. That decision is based on the following
findings:
    i. The toxicity database for cloquintocet-mexyl is complete, except
for immunotoxicity and neurotoxicity studies. EPA began requiring these
studies on December 26, 2009. In the absence of specific immunotoxicity
studies, EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data for
cloquintocet-mexyl and determined that an additional database
uncertainty factor is not needed to account for potential
immunotoxicity. EPA's determination is based on the following
considerations.
    There was some indication of possible immunotoxicity in the form of
lymphoid hyperplasia of the thymus in male rats (without any
histopathology changes in the study) at the LOAEL of 73.5 milligrams/
kilogram/day (mg/kg/day) in the combined chronic/oncogenicity study in
rats (with a NOAEL of 36.4 mg/kg/day). This effect was observed only in
males. No blood parameters were affected. In addition, cloquintocet-
mexyl does not belong to a class of chemicals that would be expected to
be immunotoxic. A clear NOAEL was established for these effects (36.4
mg/kg/day), and the regulatory endpoint of 4.3 mg/kg/day (the NOAEL
from the combined chronic/oncogenicity study) is nearly 10X below the
NOAEL for the possible immunotoxic effect. Therefore, based on the
considerations in this unit, EPA does not believe that conducting
immunotoxicity testing will result in a NOAEL significantly less than
the NOAEL of 4.3 mg/kg/day already established for cloquintocet-mexyl,
and an additional factor (UFDB) for database uncertainties is not
needed to account for potential immunotoxicity. A confirmatory
immunotoxicity study will be required as a condition of the
registration.
    No acute and subchronic neurotoxicity studies are available,
however, there is no evidence of neurotoxicity in the toxicology
database on cloquintocet-mexyl. Therefore, based on the considerations
in this unit, the Agency does not believe that conducting acute and
subchronic neurotixicty studies will result in a NOAEL less than the
NOAEL of 4.3 mg/kg/day. Therefore, there is no need for additional
uncertainty factors (UF). Confirmatory acute and subchronic
neurotoxicity studies will be required as a condition of registration.
     ii. There is no indication of quantitative or qualitative
increased susceptibility of rats or rabbits to in utero and/or
postnatal exposure to cloquintocet-mexyl in the available toxicity
database.
     iii. There is no indication that cloquinocet-mexyl is a neurotoxic
chemical and thus there is no need for a developmental neurotoxicity
study or additional UFs to account for neurotoxicity.
     iv. The dietary (food and drinking water) exposure assessments
will not underestimate the potential exposures for infants and children
from the use of cloquintocet-mexyl (currently there are no proposed
residential uses and therefore non-occupational exposure is not
expected).
    For additional information on the Safety Factor determination for
infants and children for cloquintocet-mexyl, see the docket and the
Federal Register of March 5, 2008.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    EPA determines whether acute and chronic pesticide exposures are
safe by comparing aggregate exposure estimates to the acute population
adjusted dose (aPAD) and chronic population adjusted dose (cPAD). The
aPAD and cPAD represent the highest safe exposures, taking into account
all appropriate safty factors (SFs). EPA calculates the aPAD and cPAD
by dividing the point of departure (POD) by all applicable UFs. For
linear cancer risks, EPA calculates the probability of additional
cancer cases given the estimated aggregate exposure. Short-term,
intermediate-term, and chronic-term risks are evaluated by comparing
the estimated aggregate food, water, and residential exposure to the
POD to ensure that the margin of exposure (MOE) called for by the
product of all applicable UFs is not exceeded.
    In the 2005 and 2008 rulemakings for cloquintocet-mexyl, EPA
concluded that aggregate risks from exposure to cloquintocet-mexyl did
not exceed 1% of the aPAD or cPAD for the most exposed population
groups. (73 FR 11819); (70 FR 74685). These findings are applicable to
this tolerance amendment.

    Based on these risk assessments, EPA concludes that there is a
reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general
population, or to infants and children from aggregate exposure to
cloquintocet-mexyl and its acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-
quinolinoxyacetic acid).

IV. Other Considerations

A. Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    Adequate enforcement methodology is available to enforce the
tolerance expression. The method may be requested from: Chief,
Analytical Chemistry Branch, Enviromental Science Center, 701 Mapes
Rd., Ft. Meade, MD 20755-5350; e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
For the complete description of Analytical Methods for cloquintocet-
mexyl, see the docket and the Federal Register of December 16, 2005.

B. International Residue Limits

    There are no Codex tolerances for cloquintocet-mexyl.

V. Conclusions

    Therefore, 40 CFR 180.560 is amended by establishing a tolerance
for the combined residues of cloquintocet-mexyl (acetic acid [(5-
chloro-8-quinolinyl) oxy]-, 1-methylhexyl ester; CAS Reg. No. 99607-70-
2) and its acid metabolite (5-chloro-8-quinlinoxyacetic acid) when used
as an inert ingredient (safener) in pesticide formulations containing
the active ingredients flucarbazone-sodium (wheat only), pinoxaden
(wheat or barley), clodinafop-propargyl (wheat only), or pyroxsulum
(wheat only) in or on barley, grain at 0.1 ppm; barley, hay at 0.1 ppm;
barley, straw at 0.1 ppm; wheat, forage at 0.2 ppm; wheat, grain at 0.1
ppm; wheat, hay at 0.5 ppm; and wheat, straw at 0.1 ppm.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule establishes tolerances under section 408(d) of
FFDCA in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled Regulatory Planning and
Review (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this final rule has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this final rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045, entitled
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). This final rule does not contain any
information collections subject to OMB approval under the Paperwork
Reduction Act (PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., nor does it require any
special considerations under Executive Order 12898, entitled Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under section 408(d) of FFDCA, such as the tolerance in
this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed rule, the
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5 U.S.C. 601 et
seq.) do not apply.
    This final rule directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of section 408(n)(4) of FFDCA. As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the national government
and the States or tribal governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled Federalism (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this final rule. In addition,
this final rule does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any
unfunded mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Public Law 104-4).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule 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 this final rule in the Federal
Register. This final rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an airworthiness directive (AD) 2013-22-20
for Embraer S.A. Model EMB-505 airplanes. 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 cracks beyond acceptable limits in the carbon discs of the
left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) brake assemblies. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 22, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of October 22,
2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to add an AD that would apply to Embraer S.A. Model EMB-505
airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on June 19,
2014 (79 FR 35099), and proposed to supersede AD 2013-22-20, Amendment
39-17652 (78 FR 67018, November 8, 2013).
    The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products and was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country. The MCAI states that:

    This AD was prompted by reports that identified additional
locations where inspections and corrective actions on the Left Hand
(LH) and Right Hand (RH) brake assemblies are needed. We are issuing
this AD to detect cracks beyond acceptable limit in the carbon discs
of the brake assembly, which may result in reduced brake capability
and loss of brake parts in the runway.
    Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same
type and affects flight safety, a corrective action is required.
Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this AD in
the indicated time limit without prior notice.

The MCAI requires an inspection to determine if the airplane has the
affected part number brake assembly installed and an inspection for
cracks of the affected brake assembly with repair or replacement as
necessary. The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at:
http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-0;2014-0390-0001.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 35099, June 19, 2014) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 117 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with Part 1 of the inspection and 3 work-hours per product to
comply with Part 2 of the inspection requirements of this AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we
estimate the cost of this AD on U.S. operators to be $19,890, or $170
per product for Part 1 of the inspection, and $29,835, or $255 per
product for Part 2 of the inspection.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take 1.5 work-hours and require parts costing $2,405, for a cost of
$2,532.50 per product per side for repair or 3 work-hours and require
parts costing $26,177, for a cost of $26,432 per product per side for
replacement.
    We have no way of determining the number of products that may need
these actions.
    According to the manufacturer, all of the costs of this 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 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),
    (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.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-
0390; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9 a.m. and
5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD docket
contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation, any comments received,
and other information. The street address for the Docket Office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

     Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-17652 (78 FR
67018; November 8, 2013) and adding the following new AD:

2014-19-01 Embraer S.A.: Amendment 39-17969; Docket No. FAA-2014-
0390; Directorate Identifier 2014-CE-013-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective October 22,
2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2013-22-20, Amendment 39-17652 (78 FR
67018, November 8, 2013).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Models EMB-505 airplanes, all
serial numbers, that are:
    (1) Equipped with a part number (P/N) DAP00097-01 or P/N
DAP00097-02 brake assembly; and
    (2) certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 32: Landing
Gear.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated 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 cracks beyond
acceptable limits in the carbon discs of the left hand (LH) and
right hand (RH) brake assemblies. We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct cracking of the stator pressure plate and possible loss
of brake parts on the runway, which could result in reduced brake
capability and a possible runway excursion.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions in paragraphs
(f)(1) through (f)(14) of this AD, including all subparagraphs.
    (1) If the number of flight cycles is unknown, calculate the
compliance times for flight cycles in this AD by multiplying the
number of hours time-in-service (TIS) on the brake assembly by .71
to come up with the number of cycles. For the purposes of this AD,
some examples are below:
    (i) 500 hours TIS equates to 355 flight cycles; and
    (ii) 12 hours equates to 9 flight cycles.
    (2) Do a general visual inspection (GVI) for cracks in the
stator pressure plate on both the LH and RH brake assemblies
following Part 1 of the Accomplishment Instructions in Embraer
Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March
31, 2014. Use the compliance times in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) and
(f)(2)(ii) of this AD:
    (i) For brake assemblies with 300 flight cycles or less since
new or since the last overhaul: Before or upon accumulating 150
flight cycles after October 22, 2014 (the effective date of this AD)
or within the next 30 flight cycles after October 22, 2014 (the
effective date of this AD), whichever occurs later, and repetitively
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 60 flight cycles or the next
tire change, whichever occurs first.
    (ii) For brake assemblies with more than 300 flight cycles since
new or since the last overhaul: Within the next 10 flight cycles
after October 22, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), and
repetitively thereafter at intervals not to exceed 60 flight cycles
or the next tire change, whichever occurs first.
    (3) If no cracks are found during any of the inspections
required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD, continue the repetitive
inspection intervals required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD,
including all subparagraphs.
    (4) If any crack is found in the stator pressure plate during
any of the inspections required in paragraph (f)(2) of this AD,
before further flight, do a detailed inspection (DET) following Part
1 of the Accomplishment Instructions in Embraer Phenom Service
Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2014.
    (5) If no cracks beyond the acceptable limits are found during
the DET required in paragraph (f)(4) of this AD, continue the
repetitive inspection intervals required in paragraph (f)(2) of this
AD, including all subparagraphs.
    (6) If cracks that exceed the acceptable limits are found during
the DET required in paragraph (f)(4) of this AD, before further
flight, repair the brake assembly following Appendix 2 of Embraer
Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March
31, 2014; or replace the brake assembly with a brake assembly that
has been inspected and found free of cracks that exceed the
acceptable limits following the Accomplishment Instructions of
Embraer Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated
March 31, 2014.

    Note 1 to paragraph (f)(6) of this AD: Appendix 2 of Embraer
Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March
31, 2014, consists of Meggitt Aircraft Braking System Service
Bulletin No. SB-32-1625, Revision A, dated October 17, 2013. This
service bulletin is incorporated as pages 27 through 40 of Embraer
Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March
31, 2014.

    (7) At the next tire change or 30 days after October 22, 2014
(the effective date of this AD), whichever occurs later, do a DET
for cracks on the external visible surface of the thrust stator,
double stator, and rotors following Part 2 of the Accomplishment
Instructions in Embraer Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011,
Revision 01, dated March 31, 2014.
    (8) If no crack is detected or if any crack within the
acceptable limits shown in Figure 4 Detail G of Embraer Phenom
Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011, Revision 01, dated March 31, 2014,
is detected in the inspection required in paragraph (f)(7) of this
AD, repeat the inspection required by paragraph (f)(7) of this AD at
each tire change or at each maintenance action that requires wheel
removal, whichever occurs first.
    (9) If any crack within the acceptable limits shown in Figure 4
Detail H of Embraer Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011,
Revision 01, dated March 31, 2014, is detected in the inspection
required in paragraph (f)(7) of this AD, the affected brake assembly
must be replaced within 40 flight cycles.
    (10) If any crack beyond the acceptable limits shown in Figure 4
Detail H of Embraer Phenom Service Bulletin No. 505-32-0011,
Revision 01, dated March 31, 2014, is detected, the affected brake
assembly must be replaced before the next flight.
    (11) After any repair or replacement of the brake assembly, the
brake assembly P/N DAP00097-01 or P/N DAP00097-02 is subject to the
inspections required in

paragraphs (f)(2) through (f)(10), including all subparagraphs as
applicable, of this AD.
    (12) For the purposes of this AD, a GVI is a visual examination
of an interior or exterior area, installation or assembly, to detect
obvious damage, failure, or irregularity. This level of inspection
is made from within touching distance, unless otherwise specified. A
mirror may be necessary to enhance visual access to all exposed
surfaces in the inspection area. This level of inspection is made
under normally available lighting conditions such as daylight,
hangar lighting, flashlight, or drop-light. It may require removal
or opening of access panels or doors. Stands, ladders, or platforms
may be required to gain proximity to the area being checked.
    (13) For the purposes of this AD, a DET is an intensive
examination of a specific item, installation or assembly, to detect
damage, failure, or irregularity. Available lighting is normally
supplemented with a direct source of good lighting at an intensity
deemed appropriate. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying
lenses, etc., may be necessary. Surface cleaning and elaborate
access procedures may be required.
    (14) As of November 8, 2013 (the effective the date of AD 2013-
22-20) and to October 22, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), do
not install on any airplane a brake assembly P/N DAP00097-01 or P/N
DAP00097-02 unless it is inspected per the requirements of AD 2013-
22-20 and continues to be crack free or the cracks do not exceed the
allowable limits; and as of October 22, 2014 (the effective date of
this AD), do not install on any airplane a brake assembly P/N
DAP00097-01 or P/N DAP00097-02 unless it is inspected per the
requirements of this AD and continues to be crack free or the cracks
do not exceed the allowable limits.

(g) Credit for Actions Done Following Previous Service Information

    This AD provides credit for the inspections required in
paragraphs (f)(2) and (f)(6) of this AD, if those actions were
performed before October 22, 2014 (the effective date of this AD),
using Embraer Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) 505-32-A011, original
issue, dated September 13, 2013; Embraer Alert Service Bulletin
(ASB) 505-32-A011, Revision 01, dated November 01, 2013; Embraer

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter France Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
Eurocopter France (Eurocopter) Model SA-365N, SA-365N1, AS-365N2, AS
365 N3, and SA-366G1 helicopters. This AD requires an initial and
recurring inspection of the 9-degree frame for a crack, and repair of
the frame if there is a crack. This AD was prompted by the discovery of
a crack in the 9-degree frame of a Eurocopter Model AS-365N2
helicopter, and these cracks could develop on the other specified model
helicopters because they contain the same 9-degree frame. The actions
specified by this AD are intended to detect a crack in the 9-degree
frame to prevent loss of structural integrity and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.

DATES: This AD is effective June 5, 2013.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain documents listed in this AD as of June 5, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On January 18, 2011 at 76 FR 2842, the Federal Register published
our notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM), which proposed to amend 14
CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to Eurocopter Model SA-
365N, SA-365N1, AS-365N2, AS 365 N3, and SA-366G1 helicopters. That
NPRM proposed to require an initial and recurring inspections of the
inner angles and flanges of the 9-degree frame on the right-hand (RH)
and left-hand (LH) sides for a crack. If a crack was found, the NPRM
proposed to require, before further flight, repairing the frame. The
proposed requirements were intended to detect a crack in the 9-degree
frame to prevent loss of structural integrity and subsequent loss of
control of the helicopter.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, issued EASA
Emergency AD No. 2010-0064-E, dated April 1, 2010, which supersedes
EASA Emergency AD No. 2009-0125-E, dated June 12, 2009 (with a
correction dated June 15, 2009), to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified model helicopters. EASA advises that during a major
inspection a crack was found in the 9-degree frame of an AS 365 N2
helicopter, which had logged a total of 10,786 flight hours. The crack
was located 230 millimeters above the cabin floor and had grown over a
large section of the 9-degree frame on the RH side. EASA states that
analysis shows that the time required for initiation of a crack in this
area varies according to the weight and balance data of the different
aircraft versions.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD, but we did not receive any comments on the NPRM (76 FR 2842,
January 18, 2011).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
France and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
our bilateral agreement with France, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all
information provided by the EASA and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of these
same type designs and that air safety and the public interest require
adopting the AD requirements as proposed, except we are incorporating
figures by reference instead of including them in our AD to meet
current publication requirements. This change is consistent with the
intent of the proposals in the NPRM (76 FR 2842, January 18, 2011) and
will not increase the economic burden on any operator nor increase the
scope of the AD.

Related Service Information

    Eurocopter has issued Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (EASB),
Revision 1, dated March 31, 2010, containing the following three
numbers: No. 05.00.57 for FAA type-certificated Model SA-365N and N1,
and AS-365N2 and N3 helicopters and for military, not FAA type-
certificated, Model AS365F, Fs, Fi, and K helicopters; No. 05.00.25 for
military, not FAA type-certificated, Model AS565AA, MA, MB, SA, SB, and
UB helicopters; and No. 05.39 for FAA type-certificated Model SA-366G1
helicopters and for military, not FAA type-certificated, Model SA366GA
helicopters. This EASB specifies checking at regular intervals for a
crack in the areas of the inner angles and flanges of the 9[deg] frame
on the RH and LH sides, near the splice. This EASB also states that
Eurocopter is currently studying an improvement (reinforcement) of the
frame, which will cancel the checks specified by the EASB. EASA
classified this EASB as mandatory and issued AD No. 2010-0064-E, dated
April 1, 2010, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these
helicopters.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    We refer to ``flight hours'' as ``hours time-in-service.'' We do
not refer to the EASB for accomplishment instructions. We do not
require contacting the manufacturer for approved repair instructions.
We do not allow flight with a known crack. Therefore, we do not revise
our required action based on the length and specific location of the
crack on the 9-degree frame. We refer to the 9-degree frame rather than
the No. 9 frame.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 19 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. We also estimate that it will take about 3 work hours for
about 12 inspections a year per helicopter. It will take about 24 hours
to repair a helicopter frame. The average labor rate is $85 per work-
hour. Required parts will cost about $3,350. Based on these figures, we
estimate the total cost impact of this AD on U.S. operators to be
$68,920 for the fleet, assuming 2 helicopters require repair each year.

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 helicopters identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866;
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska 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.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
The Boeing Company Model 777-200 and -300ER series airplanes. This AD
requires replacing the low-pressure oxygen flex hoses with new non-
conductive low-pressure oxygen flex hoses in the gaseous passenger
oxygen system in airplanes equipped with therapeutic oxygen. This AD
was prompted by a determination that the low-pressure oxygen flex hoses
in the gaseous passenger oxygen system can potentially be conductive.
We are issuing this AD to prevent electrical current from passing
through the low-pressure oxygen flex hoses in the gaseous passenger
oxygen system, which can cause the flex hoses to melt or burn, and a
consequent oxygen-fed fire in the passenger cabin.

DATES: This AD is effective September 15, 2016.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of September
15, 2016].
    We must receive comments on this AD by October 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    This AD was prompted by a determination that the low-pressure
oxygen flex hoses in the gaseous passenger oxygen system can
potentially be conductive. Conductive oxygen hoses in the flight
compartment were addressed previously in AD 2012-13-05, Amendment 39-
17107 (77 FR 41045, July 12, 2012).
    The gaseous passenger oxygen system equipped with therapeutic
oxygen is not continuously pressurized and must be activated by the
flightcrew. Exposure to electrical faults, such as unintended short
circuits, can result in localized electrical heating of the low-
pressure oxygen flex hoses. This condition, if not corrected, could
result in electrical current passing through the low-pressure oxygen
flex hoses, which can cause flex hoses to melt or burn, and a
consequent oxygen-fed fire in the passenger cabin.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-35-0041,
dated April 8, 2016. The service information describes procedures for
replacing the low-pressure oxygen flex hoses with new non-conductive
low-pressure oxygen flex hoses in the gaseous passenger oxygen system
in airplanes equipped with therapeutic oxygen. 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 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 the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in Boeing
Special Attention Service Bulletin 777-35-0041, dated April 8, 2016.
For information on the procedures, see this service information at
http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2016-9047.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    There are currently no domestic operators of this product.
Therefore, we find that notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are unnecessary and that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2016-9047 and
Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-092-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 we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Currently, there are no affected U.S.-registered airplanes. If an
affected airplane is imported and placed on the U.S. Register in the
future, we provide the following cost estimates to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                Labor cost               Parts cost        product
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replacement..................................  33 work-hours x $85 per hour =          $15,173          $17,978
                                                $2,805.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this 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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget the request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form CB (17 CFR 239.800) is a tender offer statement filed in
connection with a tender offer for a foreign private issuer. This form
is used to report an issuer tender offer conducted in compliance with
Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(h)(8) (17 CFR 240.13e-4(h)(8)) and a third-
party tender offer conducted in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14d-
1(c) (17 CFR 240.14d-1(c)). Form CB is also used by a subject company
pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 14e-2(d) (17 CFR 240.14e-2(d)). This
information is made available to the public. Information provided on
Form CB is mandatory. Form CB takes approximately .5 hours per response
to prepare and is filed by 200 issuers annually. We estimate that 25%
of the .5 hours per response (.125 hours) is prepared by issuer for an
annual reporting burden of 25 hours (.125 hours per response x 200
responses).
    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 control number.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed
