and TPE331-11 Series Turboprop Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD was prompted by a report of an
uncontained failure of a first stage turbine disk that had a
metallurgical defect. This AD requires inspecting certain serial number
(S/N) first stage turbine disks, part number (P/N) 3101520-1 and P/N

3107079-1. We are issuing this AD to prevent uncontained failure of the
first stage turbine disk and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective March 15, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of March 15,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 9, 2011 (76 FR
48749). That NPRM proposed to require inspecting certain S/N first
stage turbine disks, P/N 3101520-1 and P/N 3107079-1.

Comments

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

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 90 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 20 work-
hours per engine to perform these actions, and that the average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts cost about $19,000 per
engine. We estimate that one disk will fail the initial inspection and
that repetitive inspections will be performed on 89 engines. We
estimate that one engine will fail the repetitive inspections and that
further repetitive inspections will be performed on 88 engines. We
estimate that an additional one disk will fail those repetitive
inspections before retirement. Based on these figures, we estimate the
total cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $511,155.

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.

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0121; Directorate Identifier 2008-NE-36-AD;
Amendment 39-15958; AD 2009-14-08]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company (GE) CF6-
80C2B5F Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for GE
CF6-80C2B5F turbofan engines. This AD requires removing certain part
number (P/N) high-pressure compressor rotor (HPCR) stages 11-14 spool/
shafts before they exceed a new, reduced life limit. This AD results
from an internal GE audit that compared the life limited parts
certification documentation to the airworthiness limitations section
(ALS) of the instructions for continuing airworthiness (ICA). We are
issuing this AD to prevent HPCR stages 11-14 spool/shaft fatigue cracks
caused by exceeding the life limit, which could result in a possible
uncontained failure of the HPCR spool/shaft and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 5, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-
0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Green, Aerospace Engineer,
Engine Certification Office, FAA, Engine & Propeller Directorate, 12
New England Executive Part, Burlington, MA 01803; e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to GE CF6-80C2B5F turbofan
engines. We published the proposed AD in the Federal Register on
February 20, 2009 (74 FR 7831). That action proposed to require
removing certain P/N HPCR stages 11-14 spool/shafts before they exceed
a new, reduced life limit.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is provided in
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after receipt.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment received. The
commenter supports the proposal.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect one engine installed on an
airplane of U.S. registry. We also estimate that the actions would
require no work-hours per engine. No parts are required. Based on these
figures, we estimate there is no cost of this AD to U.S. operators.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this 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); and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53980; File No. SR-OCC-2006-04]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Options Clearing Corporation;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Relating to a Back-Up Communication Channel to Internet Access for
Clearing Members

June 14, 2006.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on April 27, 2006, The
Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by OCC. OCC filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder \3\ so
that the proposal was effective upon filing with the Commission. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested parties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i).
    \3\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The proposed rule change adopts a policy statement that requires
each clearing member that uses the Internet as its primary means to
access OCC information and data systems through a secure website to
maintain a secure backup to Internet access in order to provide for
business continuance should there be an Internet outage.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, OCC 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. OCC has
prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A), (B), and (C) below, of
the most significant aspects of these statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by OCC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    In 1997, OCC introduced a system called ECMI (Enhanced Clearing
Member Interface) for clearing members to access C/MACS, OCC's post-
trade and collateral processing system. At the time, all clearing
members were required to use ECMI either as their primary means of
access or as a back-up to a dedicated T1 line. In 2002, with the
deployment of ENCORE for positions processing, clearing members were
able to access ENCORE for processing position-related post-trade
transactions anytime from anywhere through OCC's secure website by
using the Internet. With the deployment of ENCORE Release 4.5
(Collateral), all post-trade transactions, including collateral
transactions, could be accomplished using an Internet connection to the
secure Web site. Most clearing members have now adopted the Internet as
their primary means of accessing the secure website, and although some
clearing members continue to use ECMI as a back-up communication
channel, the current ECMI dial-up access does not provide the high
speed and performance level necessary for daily ENCORE activity.
    With so many clearing members relying on the Internet as their
primary means of accessing OCC information and data systems, OCC has
determined to adopt a policy statement that requires such clearing
members to maintain (i) separate service agreements with two
independent internet service providers and (ii) a back-up to Internet
access through an approved communication channel. OCC will determine if
a clearing member's selected back-up communication channel is
applicable to that clearing member by reference to guidelines, set
forth in the following chart, incorporated within the policy statement.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Business profile                                  Back-up communication channel
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                   Category A
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Ranks in the top 25 Clearing Members    T1 Line.
 with the highest cleared volume during a
 calendar year.
 Clears more than one account type as
 defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules.
 Clears two or more product types.
 Conducts Clearing Member Trade
 Assignment (``CMTA'') business.
 High volume of daily post-trade input.
 Generally utilizes multiple forms of
 collateral.
 Utilizes most ancillary services
 offered by OCC.
 Currently uses Lease Line for data
 transmissions.

 Clears only one or more account types
 as defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules.
 Clears one or more product types.
 Moderate to small volume of post-trade
 input.

 collateral.

 transmissions.

                                                   Category C
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Has low-level volume..................  ISDN, OCC office 1 or fax input.
 Clears no more than one account type
 as defined in OCC's By-Laws and Rules.
 Clears no more than one product type.
 Generally utilizes one or two forms of
 collateral.
 Minimal post-trade input.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Smaller firms that rely solely on the Internet can utilize OCC equipment if the clearing member is located
  in or near a city where OCC maintains operational centers.

    OCC's purpose in adopting this policy statement is to ensure that
clearing members maintain secure back-ups to Internet access in order
to be able to perform critical business activities in a timely manner
even in the event of an Internet outage \5\ The Policy Statement, which
became effective on May 1, 2006, was not incorporated into OCC's Rules
but was implemented as a stand-alone document \6\ Clearing members have
already been notified about the adoption of this policy statement and
its effective date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ In File No. SR-OCC-2006-03, OCC reduced the fixed monthly
ancillary services fees charged to Tier I, II, and III clearing
members to reflect the termination of the ECMI Interface and to
partially offset the additional cost of establishing a back-up
communication channel. This fee reduction became effective in April,
2006.
    \6\ Conforming changes are also being made to the Supplement to
Agreement for OCC Services for Internet Access (``Supplement'') to
incorporate the Policy Statement into the terms of the Supplement.
Copies of Amendment No. 1 to the Supplement to be executed by
existing clearing members, as well as the Amended and Restated
Supplement for new clearing members are attached to the proposed
rule filing. Language proposed to be added to the Amended and
Restated Supplement is underlined. Language proposed to be deleted
is in brackets. See also Securities Exchange Act Release No. 46152
(July 1, 2002) 67 FR 45166 (July 8, 2002) [File No. SR-OCC-2001-09]
for the text of the original Supplement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    OCC does not believe that the proposed rule change would impose any
burden on competition.

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

    Written comments were not and are not intended to be solicited with
respect to the proposed rule change, and none have been received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective upon filing pursuant
to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \8\
thereunder because it constitutes a stated policy, practice, or
interpretation with respect to the meaning, administration, or
enforcement of an existing rule. At any time within sixty days of the
filing of such rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such
rule change if it appears to the Commission that such action is
necessary or appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of
investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(i).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(1).

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
