regarding your submission.
    To submit your comments online, go to https://www.regulations.gov/document/FMCSA-2021-0048, click ``Comment,'' and type your comment into
the text box on the following screen.
    If you submit your comments by mail or hand delivery, submit them
in an unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11 inches, suitable for
copying and electronic filing. If you submit comments by mail and would
like to know that they reached the facility, please enclose a stamped,
self-addressed postcard or envelope.
    FMCSA will consider all comments and material received during the
comment period.

II. Legal Basis

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

III. Intellistop's Application for Exemption

    The FMCSRs require all exterior lamps (both required lamps and any
additional lamps) to be steady-burning,

except for turn signal lamps, hazard warning signal lamps, school bus
warning lamps, amber warning lamps or flashing warning lamps on tow
trucks and CMVs transporting oversized loads, and warning lamps on
emergency and service vehicles authorized by State or local
authorities. Intellistop has applied for an exemption from 49 CFR
393.25(e) to allow motor carriers to operate all CMVs, including
flatbed trailers and straight trucks, equipped with Intellistop's
module which pulses the rear clearance, identification and brake lamps
from a lower level lighting intensity to a higher-level lighting
intensity 4 times in 2 seconds. A copy of the application is included
in the docket referenced at the beginning of this notice.

IV. Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(6), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on Intellistop's application for an
exemption from 49 CFR 393.25(e). All comments received before the close
of business on the comment closing date indicated at the beginning of
this notice will be considered and will be available for examination in
the docket at the location listed under the ADDRESSES section of this
notice. Comments received after the comment closing date will be filed
in the public docket and will be considered to the extent practicable.
In addition to late comments, FMCSA will also continue to file, in the
public docket, relevant information that becomes available after the
comment closing date. Interested persons should continue to examine the
public docket for new material.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

[Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0079]

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
State and local governments and EPA Regional offices. There are other
entities that may be indirectly affected, as they may comment on the
draft submissions before they are forwarded to EPA's Regional Offices.
These include potentially regulated entities, representatives of
special interest groups, and individuals.
    Title: 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard
Implementation Rule.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2236.02, OMB Control No. 2060-0594.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on April 30,
2007. 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, 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 for certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Paperwork Reduction Act requires the information
found in this Information Collection Request (ICR) number 2236.02, to
assess the burden (in hours and dollars) of the 8-hour Ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard Implementation (NAAQS) Rule as well as the
periodic reporting and record keeping necessary to maintain the rule.
The rule was proposed June 2, 2003 (68 FR 32802) and promulgated in two
Phases: Phase 1 published April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23951) and Phase 2
published November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71612). The preamble to the proposed
and final regulation addressed the administrative burden in general
terms. The preamble to the final Phase 2 rule stated that an ICR would
be prepared (70 FR at 71692).

The rule includes requirements that involve collecting information from
States with areas that have been designated nonattainment for the 8-
hour ozone NAAQS.
    The time period covered in this ICR is a three year period from May
1, 2007 through April 30, 2010. The information collection milestones
include State submission of an attainment demonstration State
Implementation Plan (SIP), a Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) SIP
submission, and a Reasonable Available Control Technology (RACT) SIP.
However, not all of the milestones and associated burden and
administrative cost estimates apply to every designated nonattainment
area. Areas with cleaner air quality have fewer requirements.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 9,511
hours per response. 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: 30.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
30.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 285,333 hours.
    Estimated total average annual costs per respondent: $316,720. This
includes an estimated burden cost of $316,720 and an estimated cost of
$0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Additional Background on Burden Estimation Method

    The methodology and draft estimates of incremental administrative
burden for this ICR are documented in a separate supporting statement
in the docket. They were submitted to EPA's Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards Implementation Workgroup for their review and
comment. This workgroup is comprised of representatives from EPA
Regional Offices 1 through 9 as well as EPA's Offices of General
Counsel, Policy-Economics and Innovation, and Air and Radiation
(including the Offices of Transportation and Air Quality, Air Quality
Planning and Standards, and Policy Analysis and Review).
    The workgroup provided constructive criticism on earlier drafts
which resulted in clarifications to the methodology section, revisions
to the categorization of non-attainment areas by regional office, and
changes to the temporal allocation of regional office administrative
burden. The workgroup reviewed the June 2006 ICR supporting statement
which was forwarded to OMB's Office of Information and Regulatory
Affairs. The workgroup believed there would be differences between the
realized incremental administrative burden of the states and regional
offices versus what was in the supporting statement. However, the
estimates in the ICR supporting statement were judged to be appropriate
(e.g. in the right ballpark).

Past Estimates of Burden and Comments Received

    In 1997, the Agency prepared a Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) for
the 8-hour Ozone Standard promulgation. The RIA's estimated total
incremental administrative burden for the states was 22,000 to 25,000
hours.\1\ The incremental burden hour estimate developed in this ICR
supporting statement is more than 800,000 hours. Differences between
the estimates are the result of variations in the data inputs and
presumed implementation framework. Here are some examples:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA's Regulatory Impact Analysis for the Revised Ozone and
PM NAAQS and the Proposed Regional Haze Rule (http://www.epa.gov/ttn/oarpg/naaqsfin/ria.html
) page 10-17, Table 10.6.

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

     The Subpart 1 approach to implementation was envisioned
for all 8-hour non-attainment areas when the 1997 RIA was prepared. The
envisioned Subpart 1 approach was less prescriptive and would result in
a lower administrative burden than the promulgated Phase I and Phase II
implementation rules. Under those promulgated implementation rules, the
more prescriptive Subpart 2 requirements apply to areas with the worst
ozone problems.
     The burden estimates in the 1997 RIA presumed that the SIP
activities being performed in areas that were in non-attainment with
the 1-hour standard would also apply to the 8-hour standard. Hence, for
these areas there would be a lower incremental burden associated with
the 8-hour standard. The current supporting statement for this ICR
presumes that, although the 1-hour SIP activities are helpful, they are
not as relevant as previously assumed for developing a SIP for an 8-
hour standard. This is because SIP development efforts for the 8-hour
standard require different emissions inventories, compliance and
attainment timing, and regulatory baselines.
    The Agency (EPA) presented the 1997 RIA burden estimate ($1.1
million) in the preamble to the proposed implementation rule (June 2,
2003 (68 FR 32802)). Three comments were received during the public
comment period regarding the dollar estimates of incremental burden.\2\
Two local air pollution control agencies in California representing
subpart 2 non-attainment areas for the 8-hour standard commented that
the $1.1 million dollar estimate as a total for all non-attainment
areas was low. One local agency was in a subpart 2-marginal area for
the 8-hour ozone standard. That local agency comment noted that their
burden in developing the 1-hour SIP was more than $2 million. The other
local agency was in a subpart 2-serious area for the 8-hour standard.
That local agency noted that the cost of developing their 1-hour ozone
SIP was more than $1 million. In this ICR supporting statement, EPA
estimates that the average incremental burden for implementing the 8-
hour standard in the California Subpart 2 non-attainment areas is $1.1
million in each area over the 3 year reporting period. See Table 5 and
section 6(b). The EPA's estimates recognize that, although the
environmental progress already realized in California is substantial,
California's ozone non-attainment problems are generally more
challenging than elsewhere in the United States.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2003-0079-0140, EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0079-0239, and EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0079-
0260.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The third public comment on the 1997 RIA burden estimate came from
the state of Texas. The commenter noted that the total burden for three
8-hour ozone nonattainment areas (that include Houston, Dallas, and
Beaumont) associated with developing and fulfilling outstanding 1-hour
as well as 8-hour ozone SIP obligations could exceed $2.5 million. The
EPA's estimate for two subpart 2 8-hour non-attainment areas in Texas
in this ICR supporting

statement is $2.3 million over the 3 year reporting period. See Table 5
and Section 6(b).
    The estimated incremental burden cost provided in this ICR is more
consistent with the dollar burden estimates provided in the 3
commenters than the previous estimates in the 1997 RIA.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    The EPA will consider the comments received under this notice and
amend the ICR as appropriate. 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.

Room 1061
Rockville, MD 20852

Request for Extension of Comment Period: Docket No. FDA-2014-N-0189

The Utah Vapers Association have conducted preliminary review of your lengthy proposed regulations and respectfully request that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extend the comment period for the proposed rule entitled “Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Regulations on the Sale and Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for Tobacco Products.”

The Utah Vapers Association is a volunteer run consumer advocacy and trade association employing fewer than 350 people. We represent 42 retail and liquid manufacturing small businesses in the state of Utah who individually employ 10 or less employees each.

As explained further below, the initial 75-day comment period does not provide enough time for our organisation to adequately analyze the entire proposal and provide substantive comments on the many questions posed by the agency. We need more time to address this 240-page document whose contents will deal a devastating economic blow to the businesses we represent and to the wider Utah economy.

The preamble to the proposed rule identifies approximately 70 topics and issues the agency has requested comments on. Many of these issues are complex and difficult and relate to an extremely diverse array of products. Clearly, the lengthy time period that the Agency required to propose these regulations is evidence that the issues addressed in the proposal are multi-faceted and challenging. The FDA cannot expect any interested party, and in particular, any manufacturer, to conduct a meaningful review and analysis of these issues and provide detailed and thoughtful comment in a 75-day period.

Therefore, the Utah Vapers Association again respectfully requests that FDA extend the comment period by 105 days and agree to accept comments filed to the docket on or before October 22, 2014.

This will help ensure that the final rule is based on an adequate and meaningful administrative record. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request.

Sincerely,
Aaron Frazier, Director

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 14834-000]

Merchant Hydro Developers, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On January 18, 2017, Merchant Hydro Developers, LLC, filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the
Stony Creek Pumped Storage Hydro Project to be located near the town of
Somerset in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a
preliminary permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority
to file a license application during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit holder to perform any land-
disturbing activities or

otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new
upper reservoir having a surface area of 100 acres and a storage
capacity of 1,500 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately
2,540 feet above mean sea level (msl) created through construction of
new roller-compacted concrete or rock-filled dams; (2) a new lower
reservoir having a surface area of 40 acres and a storage capacity of
1,800 acre-feet at a surface elevation of approximately 1,800 feet msl
created through construction of new roller-compacted concrete or rock-
filled dams; (3) a new 2,560-foot-long, 48-inch-diameter penstock
connecting the upper and lower reservoirs; (4) a new 150-foot-long, 50-
foot-wide powerhouse containing two turbine-generator units with a

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This
proposed AD was prompted by reports of chafing of the fuel lines due to
contact with the surrounding structures in the fuel tank. This proposed
AD would require replacing and modifying fuel lines, revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to include critical
design configuration control limitations (CDCCL) and airworthiness
limitation (AWL) items, and, for certain airplanes removing certain
clamps and mounting hardware. We are proposing this AD to prevent
chafing of the fuel lines in the fuel tank, which could result in
potential ignition sources in the fuel tank in the event of a lightning
strike and consequent fire or explosion.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2013-09R1, dated May 28, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    Reports from operators have revealed a number of instances of
chafing of the fuel lines due to contact with the surrounding
structures in the fuel tank. An internal audit conducted by
Bombardier revealed a number of locations in the fuel tank where low
clearances were noted between fuel lines and the surrounding
structure. Low clearances between fuel lines and the surrounding
structures may result in ignition sources in the fuel tank in the
event of a lightning strike, creating an unacceptable level of
safety.
    Bombardier had issued Service Bulletin (SB) 84-28-09 to
introduce new fuel line assemblies that include new fuel lines and
Teflon protective sleeves, and SBs 84-28-10 and 84-28-13 to remove
unnecessary hardware in the wing fuel tanks, in order to eliminate
potential fouling conditions on the affected fuel lines.
    Upon an operator's incorporation of SB 84-28-09, an additional
fouling condition was identified on the post-modification fuel
lines. In order to address this concern on the aeroplane, Bombardier
has issued SBs 84-28-14 and 84-28-15, along with ModSum IS4Q2800012
to rectify this problem.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the replacement of fuel lines and
the installation of fuel line Teflon protective sleeves. In
addition, the fuel line Teflon protective sleeves have been added to
the Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCL) along
with the introduction of associated Fuel System Limitations tasks,
to ensure integrity of the new assembly.
    Since the original issue of this [Canadian] AD, it was found
that there were editorial errors in Parts IB and II A of this
[Canadian] AD. In addition, the Temporary Revisions (TR)
Airworthiness Limitation Items (ALI)-111/-112 referenced in Parts
III and IV of this AD had been superseded by later revisions. This
[Canadian] AD is revised to correct the editorial errors and accept
the later TR approved by Transport Canada.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2014-
0583.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier has issued the following service information:
     Service Bulletin 84-28-09, Revision D, dated December 21,
2012;
     Service Bulletin 84-28-10, Revision B, dated March 19,
2013;
     Service Bulletin 84-28-13, dated August 17, 2012;
     Service Bulletin 84-28-14, dated August 15, 2012;
     Service Bulletin 84-28-15, dated August 15, 2012;
     Temporary Revision ALI-111, dated January 11, 2011, to
Section 4-1, ``Fuel System Limitations,'' of Part 2, ``Airworthiness
Limitation Items,'' of the Airworthiness Limitation Items section of
Bombardier Q400 Dash 8 Maintenance Requirements Manual PSM 1-84-7; and
     Temporary Revision ALI-112, dated January 11, 2011, to
Section 5-1,

``Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations,'' of Part 2,
``Airworthiness Limitation Items,'' of the Airworthiness Limitation
Items section of Bombardier Q400 Dash 8 Maintenance Requirements Manual
PSM 1-84-7.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Compliance With the Required Actions and Sections of Maintenance
Documents

    This proposed AD would require revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections) and
Critical Design Configuration Control Limitations (CDCCLs). Compliance
with these actions and CDCCLs is required by section 91.403(c) of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 91.403(c)). For airplanes that
have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas
addressed by these inspections, an operator might not be able to
accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request
approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) in accordance
with the provisions of paragraph (o)(1) of this proposed AD. The
request should include a description of changes to the required
inspections that will ensure the continued operational safety of the
airplane.

``Contacting the Manufacturer'' Paragraph in This Proposed AD

    Since late 2006, we have included a standard paragraph titled
``Airworthy Product'' in all MCAI ADs in which the FAA develops an AD
based on a foreign authority's AD.
    The MCAI or referenced service information in an FAA AD often
directs the owner/operator to contact the manufacturer for corrective
actions, such as a repair. Briefly, the Airworthy Product paragraph
allowed owners/operators to use corrective actions provided by the
manufacturer if those actions were FAA-approved. In addition, the
paragraph stated that any actions approved by the State of Design
Authority (or its delegated agent) are considered to be FAA-approved.
    In an NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-101-AD (78 FR
78285, December 26, 2013), we proposed to prevent the use of repairs
that were not specifically developed to correct the unsafe condition,
by requiring that the repair approval provided by the State of Design
Authority or its delegated agent specifically refer to the FAA AD. This
change was intended to clarify the method of compliance and to provide
operators with better visibility of repairs that are specifically
developed and approved to correct the unsafe condition. In addition, we
proposed to change the phrase ``its delegated agent'' to include a
design approval holder (DAH) with State of Design Authority design
organization approval (DOA), as applicable, to refer to a DAH
authorized to approve required repairs for the proposed AD.
    One commenter to the NPRM having Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-
101-AD (78 FR 78285, December 26, 2013) stated the following: ``The
proposed wording, being specific to repairs, eliminates the
interpretation that Airbus messages are acceptable for approving minor
deviations (corrective actions) needed during accomplishment of an AD
mandated Airbus service bulletin.''
    This comment has made the FAA aware that some operators have
misunderstood or misinterpreted the Airworthy Product paragraph to
allow the owner/operator to use messages provided by the manufacturer
as approval of deviations during the accomplishment of an AD-mandated
action. The Airworthy Product paragraph does not approve messages or
other information provided by the manufacturer for deviations to the
requirements of the AD-mandated actions. The Airworthy Product
paragraph only addresses the requirement to contact the manufacturer
for corrective actions for the identified unsafe condition and does not
cover deviations from other AD requirements. However, deviations to AD-
required actions are addressed in 14 CFR 39.17, and anyone may request
the approval for an alternative method of compliance to the AD-required
actions using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19.
    To address this misunderstanding and misinterpretation of the
Airworthy Product paragraph, we have changed the paragraph and retitled
it ``Contacting the Manufacturer.'' This paragraph now clarifies that
for any requirement in this proposed AD to obtain corrective actions
from a manufacturer, the actions must be accomplished using a method
approved by the FAA, TCCA, or Bombardier, Inc.'s TCCA Design Approval
Organization (DAO).
    The Contacting the Manufacturer paragraph also clarifies that, if
approved by the DAO, the approval must include the DAO-authorized
signature. The DAO signature indicates that the data and information
contained in the document are TCCA-approved, which is also FAA-
approved. Messages and other information provided by the manufacturer
that do not contain the DAO-authorized signature approval are not TCCA-
approved, unless TCCA directly approves the manufacturer's message or
other information.
    This clarification does not remove flexibility previously afforded
by the Airworthy Product paragraph. Consistent with long-standing FAA
policy, such flexibility was never intended for required actions. This
is also consistent with the recommendation of the Airworthiness
Directive Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee to increase
flexibility in complying with ADs by identifying those actions in
manufacturers' service instructions that are ``Required for
Compliance'' with ADs. We continue to work with manufacturers to
implement this recommendation. But once we determine that an action is
required, any deviation from the requirement must be approved as an
alternative method of compliance.
    We also have decided not to include a generic reference to either
the ``delegated agent'' or ``design approval holder (DAH) with State of
Design Authority design organization approval,'' but instead we have
provided the specific delegation approval granted by the State of
Design Authority for the DAH throughout this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 72 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 80 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost up to $2,845
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be up to $694,440, or $9,645 per
product.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. 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.
