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

    The Exchange is filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change to amend the Fee Schedule to
amend the Fee Schedule [sic] on the BOX Market LLC (``BOX'') options
facility. While changes to the fee schedule pursuant to this proposal
will be effective upon filing, the changes will become operative on
October 1, 2016. The text of the proposed rule change is available from
the principal office of the Exchange, at the Commission's Public
Reference Room and also on the Exchange's Internet Web site at http://boxexchange.com.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these

statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV below.
The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in Sections A, B, and C
below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule for trading on BOX.
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to revise certain qualification
thresholds and fees in Section I.B.2 of the BOX Fee Schedule, the BOX
Volume Rebate (``BVR'').
    Under the current BVR, the Exchange offers a tiered per contract
rebate for all Public Customer PIP Orders and COPIP orders of 100
contracts and under that do not trade solely with their contra order.
Percentage thresholds are calculated on a monthly basis by totaling the
Participant's PIP and COPIP volume submitted to BOX, relative to the
total national Customer volume in multiply-listed options classes.
    The current per contract rebate for Participants in PIP and COPIP
Transactions under the BVR is:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                    Percentage thresholds of         Per contract rebate (all
                                                   national customer volume in            account types)
                     Tier                        multiply-listed options classes -------------------------------
                                                            (monthly)                   PIP            COPIP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.............................................  0.000% to 0.159%................         ($0.00)         ($0.00)
2.............................................  0.160% to 0.339%................          (0.02)          (0.02)
3.............................................  0.340% to 0.999%................          (0.04)          (0.04)
4.............................................  1.000% to 1.249%................          (0.07)          (0.06)
5.............................................  1.250% and Above................          (0.12)          (0.06)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange proposes to adjust certain BVR percentage thresholds
and fees within the BVR. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to
eliminate Tier 4 and adjust the percentage thresholds in Tier 5 to
``1.000% and Above.'' The Exchange then proposes to renumber Tier 5 to
Tier 4. The quantity submitted will continue to be calculated on a
monthly basis by totaling the Participant's PIP and COPIP volume
submitted to BOX, relative to the total national Customer volume in
multiply-listed options classes. Additionally, the Exchange proposes to
decrease the fee [sic] in the revised Tier 4 for PIP transactions to
$0.11 from $0.12.
    The new BVR set forth in Section I.B.2 of the BOX Fee Schedule will
be as follows:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                    Percentage thresholds of         Per contract rebate (all
                                                   national customer volume in            account types)
                     Tier                        multiply-listed options classes -------------------------------
                                                            (monthly)                   PIP            COPIP
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.............................................  0.000% to 0.159%................         ($0.00)         ($0.00)
2.............................................  0.160% to 0.339%................          (0.02)          (0.02)
3.............................................  0.340% to 0.999%................          (0.04)          (0.04)
4.............................................  1.000% and Above................          (0.11)          (0.06)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposal is consistent with the
requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act, in general, and Section
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5)of the Act,\5\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other
charges among BOX Participants and other persons using its facilities
and does not unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers
or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed amendments to the BVR in Section
I.B.2 of the BOX Fee Schedule are reasonable, equitable and non-
discriminatory. The BVR was adopted to attract Public Customer order
flow to the Exchange by offering these Participants incentives to
submit their PIP and COPIP Orders to the Exchange and the Exchange
believes it is appropriate to now amend the BVR. The Exchange believes
it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to amend the BVR, as
all Participants have the ability to qualify for a rebate, and rebates
are provided equally to qualifying Participants. Finally, the Exchange
believes it is reasonable and appropriate to continue to provide
incentives for Public Customers, which will result in greater liquidity
and ultimately benefit all Participants trading on the Exchange.
    BOX believes it is reasonable, equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to adjust the monthly Percentage Thresholds of National
Customer Volume in Multiply-Listed Options Classes and their applicable
rebates. The volume thresholds and rebates are meant to incentivize
Participants to direct order flow to the Exchange to obtain the benefit
of the rebate, which will in turn benefit all market participants by
increasing liquidity on the Exchange. Other exchanges employ similar
incentive programs; \6\ and the Exchange believes that the proposed
changes to the volume thresholds and rebates are reasonable and
competitive when compared to incentive structures at other exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Section B of the PHLX Pricing Schedule entitled
``Customer Rebate Program;'' ISE Gemini's Qualifying Tier Thresholds
(page 6 of the ISE Gemini Fee Schedule); and CBOE's Volume Incentive
Program (VIP).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange is simply
proposing to revise certain qualification thresholds and fees in
Section I.B. of the BOX Fee Schedule. The Exchange believes that the
volume

based rebates and fees increase intermarket and intramarket competition
by incenting Participants to direct their order flow to the exchange,
which benefits all participants by providing more trading opportunities
and improves competition on the Exchange.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Exchange Act \7\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(2)
thereunder,\8\ because it establishes or changes a due, or fee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
    \8\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend the rule
change if it appears to the Commission that the action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
would otherwise further the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Electronic Comments

[Docket No. FAA-2016-8557; Airspace Docket No. 16-AGL-17]

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace for the Following
Wisconsin Towns; Antigo, WI; Ashland, WI; Black River Falls, WI; Cable
Union, WI; Cumberland, WI; Eagle River, WI; Hayward, WI; and Wausau,
WI, and Proposed Revocation of Class E Airspace; Wausau, WI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to modify Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Langlade County Airport,
Antigo, WI; John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI; Black River
Falls Area Airport, Black River Falls, WI; Cable Union Airport, Cable
Union, WI; Cumberland Municipal Airport, Cumberland, WI; Eagle River

of area navigation (RNAV) procedures have made this action necessary
for the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at the above airports. This action also proposes to remove
Class E surface area airspace at Wausau Municipal Airport (Wausau
Downtown Airport), Wausau, WI, as a review has determined that the
airport no longer meets the requirements for this airspace.
Additionally, the geographic coordinates at Langlade County Airport,
John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport, Cumberland Municipal Airport, Eagle
River Union Airport, and Wausau Downtown Airport (formerly Wausau
Municipal Airport) would be adjusted to coincide with the FAAs
aeronautical database.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI; John F. Kennedy
Memorial Airport, Ashland, WI; Black River Falls Area Airport, Black
River Falls, WI; Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI; Cumberland
Municipal Airport, Cumberland, WI; Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle
River, WI; Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI; and Wausau Downtown
Airport, Wausau, WI; and remove Class E surface area airspace at Wausau
Downtown Airport (formerly Wausau Municipal Airport), Wausau, WI.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2016-8557/

and returned to the commenter.

Availability of NPRMs

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.regulations.gov.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX, 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents Proposed for Incorporation by
Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective
September 15, 2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface:
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Langlade County Airport, Antigo, WI,
and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 7.0-mile radius of John F. Kennedy Memorial Airport,
Ashland, WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the 7.0-
mile radius to 8.2 miles, and updating the geographic coordinates of
the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 7.1-mile radius of Black River Falls Area Airport, Black
River Falls, WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the
7.1-mile radius to 11.7 miles, with an extension northeast of the
airport from the 7.1-mile radius to 11.4 miles;
    Within a 6.9-mile radius of Cable Union Airport, Cable Union, WI;
    Within a 6.4-mile radius of Cumberland Municipal Airport,
Cumberland, WI, with extensions from the 6.4-mile radius to 10.2 miles
west and east; and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.5-mile radius of Eagle River Union Airport, Eagle River,
WI, with an extension southwest of the airport from the 6.5-mile radius
to 9.2 miles, and updating the geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database;
    Within a 6.6-mile radius of Sawyer County Airport, Hayward, WI,
with an extension northeast of the airport from the 6.6-mile radius to
8.5 miles;
    And within a 6.8-mile radius of Wausau Downtown Airport, Wausau,
WI, and updating the name and geographic coordinates of the airport to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    The Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Wausau
Municipal Airport, Wausau, WI, would be removed as the airport no
longer meets the requirements for this airspace.
    Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the decommissioning of
NDBs, cancellation of NDB approaches, and implementation of RNAV
procedures at the above airports. Controlled airspace is necessary for
the safety and management of the standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airports.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2015, and
effective September 15, 2015, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,

``Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures'' prior to any FAA
final regulatory action.

The Proposed Amendment

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening
of comment period.

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

SUMMARY: We are revising an earlier proposal, which would have applied
to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model A319 series
airplanes; Model A320 series airplanes; and Model A321-111, -112, -131,
-211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -253N, and -271N airplanes. This
action revises the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) by including
revised restrictive requirements and adding airplanes to the
applicability. We are proposing this airworthiness directive (AD) to
address the unsafe condition on these products. Since these actions
impose an additional burden over those proposed in the NPRM, we are
reopening the comment period to allow the public the chance to comment
on these proposed changes.

Discussion

    We issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series airplanes; Model
A319 series airplanes; Model A320 series airplanes; and Model A321-111,
-112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -253N, and -271N
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on July 17, 2018
(83 FR 33159). The NPRM was prompted by a revision of an airworthiness
limitation item (ALI) document, which requires more restrictive
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. The NPRM
proposed to require revising the maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new maintenance requirements and
airworthiness limitations.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM, we have determined that new or more
restrictive requirements in revised service information are necessary,
and that the identified unsafe condition also exists or may develop on
Airbus SAS Model A321-251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, -272N, and
-272NX airplanes.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2018-0180, dated August 27, 2018 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus SAS Model A318 series
airplanes; Model A319 series airplanes; Model A320 series airplanes;
and Model A321 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    The airworthiness limitations for the Airbus A320 family
aeroplanes, which are approved by EASA, are currently defined and
published in the A318/A319/A320/A321 ALS [Airworthiness Limitations
Section] document(s). The airworthiness limitations applicable to
the Certification Maintenance Requirements (CMR), which are approved
by EASA, are published in ALS Part 3.
    Failure to accomplish these instructions could result in an
unsafe condition.
    Previously, EASA issued AD 2017-0168 to require accomplishment
of all maintenance tasks as described in ALS Part 3 at Revision 05.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Airbus published the ALS,
including new and/or more restrictive requirements, and new A321
models were certified and added to the Applicability of the ALS.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0168, which is superseded, expands the
Applicability and requires accomplishment of the actions specified
in the ALS.

    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-2018-
0554.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus SAS has issued Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3, Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMR), Revision 06, dated June 13, 2018. The service
information describes maintenance instructions and airworthiness
limitations, including updated inspections and intervals, to be
incorporated into the maintenance or inspection program. 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.

Request To Revise Language Regarding Previously Approved Alternative
Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    Delta Air Lines (DAL) contended that the language used in paragraph
(j)(ii) of the proposed AD is inaccurate. DAL pointed out that the
phrase ``that require incorporation'' in paragraph (j)(ii) of the
proposed AD should be revised to ``that allow incorporation,'' on the
basis that AMOCs do not require alternative actions, but instead allow
them.
    We agree with the commenter's request based on the reasons stated.
We have revised paragraph (j)(ii) of this AD to use the word ``allow''
instead of ``require.''

Request To Use Later Revisions of Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3, Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR)

    DAL proposed revising paragraph (j)(ii) of the proposed AD to add a
provision that allows the use of corresponding later approved EASA
revisions and variations of the Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3, Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR).
    We disagree with the commenters' requests. We cannot use the
phrase, ``or later approved revisions,'' in an AD when referring to the
service information because doing so violates Office of the Federal
Register (OFR) regulations for approval of materials ``incorporated by
reference'' in rules. In general terms, we are required by these OFR
regulations to either publish the service document contents as part of
the actual AD language; or submit the service document to the OFR for
approval as ``referenced'' material, in which case we may only refer to
such material in the text of an AD. The AD may refer to the service
document only

if the OFR approved it for ``incorporation by reference.'' To allow
operators to use later revisions of the referenced document (issued
after publication of the AD), either we must revise the AD to reference
specific later revisions, or operators must request approval to use
later revisions as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC) with this
AD under the provisions of paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.

FAA's Determination and Proposed Requirements of This SNPRM

    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.
    This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate new or revised airworthiness
limitation requirements, as specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321
Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3, Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR), Revision 06, dated June 13, 2018. The
applicability of this proposed AD would also include Airbus SAS Model
A321-251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253NX, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes.
    Certain changes described above expand the scope of the NPRM. As a
result, we have determined that it is necessary to reopen the comment
period to provide additional opportunity for the public to comment on
this SNPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 1,250 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:
    We have determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although we
recognize that this number may vary from operator to operator. In the
past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per
airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program
changes for their affected fleet(s), we have determined that a per-
operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate.
Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

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.
    This proposed AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated
by the Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as
authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order,
issuance of ADs is normally a function of the Compliance and
Airworthiness Division, but during this transition period, the
Executive Director has delegated the authority to issue ADs applicable
to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to the
Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05, Time Limits/
Maintenance Checks.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by a revision of an airworthiness
limitation item (ALI) document, which requires more restrictive
maintenance requirements and airworthiness limitations. We are
issuing this AD to address a safety-significant latent failure (that
is not annunciated), which, in combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, could result in a hazardous or
catastrophic failure condition.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Revision of Maintenance or Inspection Program

    Within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate the
information specified in Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) Part 3, Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMR), Revision 06, dated June 13, 2018 (``ALS Part 3,
CMR, R6''). The initial compliance time for accomplishing the tasks
specified in ALS Part 3, CMR, R6, is at the applicable time
specified in ALS Part 3, CMR, R6, or within 90 days after the
effective date of this AD, whichever occurs later.

(h) Terminating Actions for AD 2017-25-04

    Accomplishing the actions required by paragraph (g) of this AD
terminates all of the requirements of AD 2017-25-04.

(i) No Alternative Actions or Intervals

    After the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, has
been revised as required by paragraph (g) of this AD, no alternative
actions (e.g., inspections) or intervals may be used unless the
actions or intervals are approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (j)(1) of this AD.

(j) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, has the
authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the
procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19,
send your request to your principal inspector or local Flight
Standards District Office, as appropriate. If sending information
directly to the International Section, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (k)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to: [email protected].
    (i) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (ii) AMOCs approved previously for AD 2017-25-04, or AD 2014-22-
08, Amendment 39-18013 (79 FR 67042, November 12, 2014), that allow
incorporation of ALS Part 3, CMR, R6, are considered approved as
AMOCs for the corresponding provisions of this AD.
    (2) Contacting the Manufacturer: For any requirement in this AD
to obtain corrective actions from a manufacturer, the action must be
accomplished using a method approved by the Manager, International
Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA; or the European Aviation
Safety Agency (EASA); or Airbus SAS's EASA Design Organization
Approval (DOA). If approved by the DOA, the approval must include
the DOA-authorized signature.
    (3) Required for Compliance (RC): If any service information
contains procedures or tests that are identified as RC, those
procedures and tests must be done to comply with this AD; any
procedures or tests that are not identified as RC are recommended.
Those procedures and tests that are not identified as RC may be
deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with the
operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an AMOC, provided the procedures and tests identified as
RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition. Any substitutions or changes to procedures or tests
identified as RC require approval of an AMOC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Reedley Municipal Airport, Reedley, CA, to support new
area navigation (RNAV) procedures at the airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (82 FR 16258; April 16, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2017-1200 to
establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Reedley Municipal Airport, Reedley, CA. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within 2 miles east and 4 miles west of the 168[deg]
and 348[deg] bearings from the airport extending to 6.1 miles south and
6.5 miles north of the airport, respectively, to accommodate new RNAV
standard instrument approach procedures for instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at Reedley Municipal Airport, Reedley, CA.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
