SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of November 12, 2020
(85 FR 71920), we published a notice of availability for a draft
guidance entitled

``Voluntary Disclosure of Sesame as an Allergen: Draft Guidance for
Industry; Availability; Agency Information Collection Activities;
Proposed Collection; Comment Request.'' This action opened a docket
with a 60-day comment period to receive comments related to the
voluntary disclosure of sesame as an allergen.
    We have received a request for a 60-day extension of the comment
period for the draft guidance. The request conveyed concern that the
current 60-day comment period does not allow sufficient time to develop
a meaningful response to the draft guidance. In the interest of
balancing the public health importance of sesame allergen labeling and
granting additional time to submit comments before we finalize the
draft guidance, we have concluded that it is reasonable to extend the
comment period for 45 days, until February 25, 2021. We believe that
this extension allows adequate time for interested persons to submit
comments.

    Dated: December 18, 2020.
Lauren K. Roth,
Acting Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Distribution Pipelines

AGENCY: Office of Pipeline Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice; public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
(PHMSA) and the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives
(NAPSR) are jointly sponsoring a public meeting on Implementing
Integrity Management of Gas Distribution Pipelines. The meeting will be
held on June 27, 2012, in Fort Worth, Texas. At the meeting, PHMSA/
NAPSR will discuss observations from initial inspections of operators'
implementation of integrity management requirements for gas
distribution pipelines and current regulatory topics affecting
distribution pipeline operators. The meeting will also include panel
and breakout session discussions involving gas distribution pipeline
industry representatives on topics relating to their experiences
implementing the distribution integrity management regulation.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on Wednesday, June 27, 2012,
from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CDT. Name badge pickup and onsite registration
will be available starting at 7:30 a.m. Refer to the meeting Web site

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Chris Mclaren, Office of Pipeline
Safety at<PHONE_NUMBER> or email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>regarding the
subject matter of this notice.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A final rule establishing requirements for
assuring the continued integrity of gas distribution pipelines (DIMP)
was published on December 4, 2009, (74 FR 63906). The rule required
that operators of gas distribution pipelines develop and implement
integrity management plans for their pipeline systems by August 2,
2011. PHMSA and states have conducted a number of inspections of gas
distribution pipeline operator integrity management programs. Many more
inspections will follow. This public meeting is intended to allow
PHMSA, NAPSR, and industry representatives to share observations
resulting from these initial inspections.
    The public meeting is designed to enhance pipeline safety through
improved integrity management of natural gas distribution pipeline
systems and will consist of presentations and panel discussions
provided by a variety of stakeholders. Panel participants will
represent industry, PHMSA, and NAPSR. Panels will present information
on PHMSA and NAPSR's expectations of implemented distribution integrity
management programs (DIMP) and observations from DIMP Inspections
conducted by PHMSA and NAPSR. PHMSA and NAPSR will promote compliance
with regulations by providing an overview of the rule, including
expectations of regulatory definitions (such as identification of
threats, methodologies for segmentation of assets for evaluation of
risk, risk ranking, measures designed to reduce risk, and measuring and
monitoring performance) and discussing methodologies that industry is
employing to meet the requirements of the rule. Inspection findings
from DIMP inspections conducted by PHMSA and state programs and issue
areas and areas of concern will be discussed.
    Participants of the public meeting will benefit from (1) hearing
their peers explain methods of implementation for certain provisions of
the rule and associated questions experienced during program
development and implementation; (2) listening to PHMSA, NAPSR, and
industry experience on implementing the specific elements of the rule;
(3) discussing rule compliance concerns; developing a clearer
understanding of the DIMP rule provisions, and (4) participating in the
development of additional guidance if deemed necessary through
stakeholder feedback.
    Interested persons may obtain more information on DIMP by accessing
the DIMP Web site through the PHMSA Pipeline Safety Community page at
http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline by selecting ``Integrity Management
Program (IMP)'' and then ``Integrity Management--Distribution.''

Preliminary Agenda

     Discuss Implementation of the DIMP Regulation and
Regulatory Developments affecting Distribution Operators.
     Regulators' (NAPSR and PHMSA) Perspective on
Implementation of the DIMP Regulation.
     Breakout Sessions to discuss various topics regarding the
implementation of distribution IM Programs and meeting the requirements
of the DIMP rule.
     Presentations from representatives of the breakout
sessions, NAPSR, and industry.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on June 5, 2012.

Hello,

Thank you again for your submission.

In the submission for Haverhill [SunCoke ICR Haverhill Enclosure 1 Parts A-I thru A-III and A-IX Responses Non-Confidential.xlsx] in the `Part A.IX. SS' tab, the file "HCC SSMP - Rev. 2017-05-26 Final.pdf" is referenced.

We are not seeing that file in your email submission on 12/9/22.

We see a "HHO-PMO_Plan Rev 2017-05-26 Final.pdf" file was attached.
Is that the same file, just names slightly different?

Can you please confirm or submit the "HCC SSMP - Rev. 2017-05-26 Final.pdf" file please.

Thank you!

filed the proposal as a ``non-controversial'' proposed rule change

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

    Cboe BZX Exchange, Inc. (the ``Exchange'' or ``BZX Options'')
proposes to amend Rule 19.6.05 to allow Monday and Wednesday
expirations for options listed pursuant to the Short Term Option Series
Program on the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (``IWM''). The text of the
proposed rule change is provided in Exhibit 5.
    The text of the proposed rule change is also available on the
Exchange's website (http://markets.cboe.com/us/equities/regulation/rule_filings/bzx/), at the Exchange's Office of the Secretary, and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the 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 Rule 19.6.05 to allow Monday and
Wednesday expirations for options listed pursuant to the Short Term
Option Series Program on IWM. The Exchange notes that this proposed
rule change is substantively identical to a rule change recently
adopted by Nasdaq Phlx LLC. (``Phlx'') \5\ and approved by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'').\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Release No. 92655 (August 12, 2021),
86 FR 46304 (August 18, 2021) (SR-Phlx-2021-43) (Notice of Filing of
Proposed Rule Change To Permit Monday and Wednesday Expirations for
Options Listed Pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program on
the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (``IWM'')).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Release No. 93157 (September 28,
2021) (SR-Phlx-2021-43) (Order Approving a Proposed Rule Change to
Permit Monday and Wednesday Expirations for Options Listed Pursuant
to the Short Term Options Program on the iShares Russell 2000 ETF
(IWM)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 19.6.05 \7\ currently governs the Exchange's Short Term Option
Series Program. The term ``Short Term Option Series'' means a series in
an option class that is approved for listing and trading on the
Exchange in which the series is opened for trading on any Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday that is a business day and that
expires on the Monday, Wednesday or Friday of the next business week,
or, in the case of a series that is listed on a Friday and expires on a
Monday, is listed one business week and one business day prior to that
expiration. If a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday is not a
business day, the series may be opened (or shall expire) on the first
business day immediately prior to that Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or
Friday, respectively. For a series listed pursuant to this section for
Monday

expiration, if a Monday is not a business day, the series shall expire
on the first business day immediately following that Monday.\8\ Rule
19.6.05(h) provides that the Exchange may open weekly series for
options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (``SPY'') and the Invesco QQQ
Trust (``QQQ'') with Monday and Wednesday expirations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The proposed rule change corrects an incorrect cross-
reference in Rule 19.05 [sic].
    \8\ See Rule 16.1, definition of ``Short Term Option Series''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed rule change amends Rule 19.6.05(h) to also allow
Monday and Wednesday expirations for options on IWM. Specifically, the
proposed rule change amends Rule 19.6.05(h) to provide that the
Exchange may open for trading on any Friday or Monday that is a
business day series of options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (``SPY''),
the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (``IWM'') and \9\ the Invesco QQQ Trust
(``QQQ'') to expire on any Monday of the month that is a business day
and is not a Monday on which Quarterly Options Series expire (``Monday
SPY Expirations'', ``Monday IWM Expirations'' and ``Monday QQQ
Expirations''), provided that any Friday on which the Exchange opens
for trading a Monday SPY, IWM and QQQ Expiration is one business week
and one business day prior to expiration. The Exchange may also open
for trading on any Tuesday or Wednesday that is a business day series
of SPY options, IWM options and QQQ options to expire on any Wednesday
of the month that is a business day and is not a Wednesday on which
Quarterly Options Series expire (``Wednesday SPY Expirations'',
``Wednesday IWM Expirations'' and ``Wednesday QQQ Expirations''). The
Exchange may list up to five consecutive series of each Monday SPY, IWM
and QQQ Expirations and up to five consecutive series of each Wednesday
SPY, IWM and QQQ Expirations at one time; the Exchange may have no more
than a total of five of each Monday SPY, IWM and QQQ Expirations and no
more than a total of five of each Wednesday SPY, IWM and QQQ
Expirations. Monday and Wednesday SPY, IWM and QQQ Expirations will be
subject to the provisions of this Rule.\10\ Additionally, the proposed
rule change amends Rule 19.6.05(b), which currently excepts Monday and
Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations from the prohibition on Short Term
Option Series expiring in the same week in which monthly option series
on the same class expire, to provide that, with the exception of Monday
and Wednesday SPY, IWM and QQQ Expirations, no Short Term Option Series
may expire in the same week in which monthly option series on the same
class expire.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The proposed rule change makes a nonsubstantive change in
order to simplify the rule language.
    \10\ The proposed rule change also updates a reference to
``Monday or Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations'' in Rule 19.6.05 to
refer to ``Monday or Wednesday SPY, IWM and QQQ Expirations''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similar to SPY and QQQ, the Exchange believes that the introduction
of IWM Monday and Wednesday Expirations will expand hedging tools
available to market participants and continue to assist in reducing the
premium cost of buying protection. By offering Monday and Wednesday IWM
Expirations, the proposed rule change will allow market participants to
purchase IWM based on their timing needs and allow them to more
effectively tailor their investment and hedging strategies.
    The Exchange notes that, pursuant to the definition of Short Term
Option Series,\11\ if the Exchange is not open for business on a
Wednesday, then a Wednesday IWM Expiration will expire on the first
business day immediately prior to that Wednesday (e.g., Tuesday of that
week). However, regarding Monday IWM Expirations, if the Exchange is
not open for business on a Monday, then a Monday IWM Expiration will
expire on the first business day following that Monday (e.g., Tuesday
of that week). This is the same expiration process currently in place
for Monday and Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations. The Exchange believes
that it is appropriate to require Monday expiration series to expire on
the Tuesday of that week, rather than the previous business day (e.g.,
the previous Friday), when expiration Monday does not fall on a
business day because the immediately following Tuesday is closer in
time to the scheduled expiration date of the series than the previous
Friday. Therefore, the following business day in this case may be more
representative of anticipated market conditions than the previous
business day. The Exchange notes that, not only are Monday SPY and QQQ
Expirations treated in the same manner today, but the same applies to
weekly index options listed pursuant to the Nonstandard Expiration
Program.\12\ The Exchange also notes that permitting Monday and
Wednesday IWM Expirations to expire in the same week as monthly options
series on the same class, like that of Monday and Wednesday SPY and QQQ
Expirations, is appropriate because Monday and Wednesday IWM
Expirations and standard monthly options will not expire on the same
trading day, as standard monthly options expire on Fridays.
Additionally, the Exchange believes that listing Monday and Wednesday
IWM Expirations each week of the month will provide consistency for
investors and mitigate any potential confusion regarding weekly
listings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See supra note 8.
    \12\ See Rule 29.11(j)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange notes that the interval between strike prices for the
proposed Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations are the same as those for
the Monday and Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations and the Short Term
Option Series with Wednesday and Friday expirations.\13\ Specifically,
the proposed Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations have a $0.50 strike
interval minimum.\14\ As is the case with other equity options series
listed pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program, Monday and
Wednesday IWM Expirations are P.M.-settled. Also, pursuant to Rule
19.6.05(a), the Exchange may open up to 30 Short Term Option Series for
each expiration date in each option class eligible for participation in
the Short Term Option Series Program. This includes Monday and
Wednesday IWM Expirations for IWM options. In addition to the 30 series
per class, the Exchange may open Short Term Option Series, including
Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations, that are opened by other
securities exchanges in option classes selected by such exchanges under
their respective short term option rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See Rule 19.6.05(e).
    \14\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that listing series of P.M.-settled
Monday and Wednesday expirations for options on IWM will have any
adverse impact on fair and orderly markets as the Exchange already
lists weekly series with the same settlement and expirations for
options on SPY and QQQ, as well as for weekly index options pursuant to
the Nonstandard Pilot Program,\15\ and has not experienced any issues
regarding adverse market impact in connection with the listing of these
series. The Exchange represents that it has the necessary capacity and
surveillance programs in place to support and properly monitor trading
in the proposed Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations. The Exchange
currently deploys such surveillance programs to monitor Monday and
Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations and has not experienced any issues
with capacity in connection with listing Monday and Wednesday SPY and
QQQ Expirations. The Exchange intends to begin

implementation of the proposed rule change on October 5, 2021, as Phlx,
as well as its affiliated options exchanges, intend to begin listing
weekly Monday IWM Expirations on this date.\16\ The Exchange will issue
a notice of the planned implementation date to its Members in advance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See supra note 12.
    \16\ See Options Trader Alert #2021--54, Nasdaq Introduces
Monday and Wednesday Weekly Expirations For IWM Options (September
22, 2021) available at: http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/MicroNews.aspx?id=OTA2021-54. Phlx, BX, NOM, ISE, GEMX, and MRX
anticipate listing weekly Wednesday IWM Expirations on October 5,
2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act'') and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to the Exchange and, in particular,
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\17\ Specifically, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \18\ requirements that the rules of an exchange be
designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation
and coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing,
settling, processing information with respect to, and facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. Additionally,
the Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
Section 6(b)(5) \19\ requirement that the rules of an exchange not be
designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
    \19\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In particular, the Exchange believes the Short Term Option Series
Program has been successful to date and that listing Monday and
Wednesday IWM Expirations, like Monday and Wednesday SPY and QQQ
Expirations already listed for trading, will expand the ability of
investors to effectively hedge risk against market movements stemming
from economic releases or market events that occur throughout the
month. The Exchange believes that offering Monday and Wednesday IWM
Expirations will create greater trading and hedging opportunities and
flexibility for investors, allowing them to use IWM options listed
pursuant to the Short Term Option Series Program in a manner more
effectively tailored their investment and hedging objectives. As
already noted, the Exchange currently offers series with the same
settlement (P.M.) and expirations (Monday and Wednesday) for options on
SPY and QQQ and for weekly index options pursuant to the Nonstandard
Pilot Program.\20\ The Exchange again notes that the proposed rule
change is substantively identical to a rule recently adopted by Phlx
and approved by the Commission.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See supra note 12.
    \21\ See supra notes 5 and 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The manner in which Monday IWM Expirations will expire when
expiration Monday lands on a holiday is consistent with the manner in
which Monday SPY and QQQ Expirations currently expire under the same
circumstances. The Exchange believes that allowing Monday IWM
Expirations that expire on a holiday to fall on the following business
day, as opposed to the prior business day (as applicable to Wednesday
and Friday expirations that expire on a holiday), removes impediments
to and perfects the mechanism of a free and open market and national by
permitting such Monday expirations to occur closer in time to the
scheduled expiration date of the series, which may be more
representative of anticipated market conditions. Additionally, the
proposed rule change to except Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations
from the prohibition on Short Term Option Series expiring in the same
week in which monthly option series on the same class expire is
consistent with the same exception that currently applies to Monday and
Wednesday SPY and QQQ Expirations.\22\ The proposed rule change is
designed to provide consistency for investors and mitigate any
potential confusion regarding weekly listings each week of the month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ As stated herein, because monthly options expire on
Fridays, Monday and Wednesday weekly options will not land on the
same day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not believe that listing series of P.M.-settled
Monday and Wednesday expirations for options on IWM will have any
adverse impact on fair and orderly markets as the Exchange already
lists series with the same settlement and expirations for options on
SPY and QQQ, as well as for weekly index options pursuant to the
Nonstandard Pilot Program,\23\ and has not observed any adverse market
impact in connection with the listing of these series. The Exchange
represents that it already has an adequate surveillance program in
place to detect and deter any manipulative trading in Monday and
Wednesday expirations, including Monday and Wednesday IWM Expirations,
and that it has the necessary systems capacity to support the listing
and trading of the new series.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ See supra note 12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The Exchange does not
believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intramarket competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act as Monday and Wednesday IWM
Expirations will be available for quoting and trading on the Exchange
for all market participants. Therefore, all market participants will
equally be able to transact in IWM series listed with Monday and
Wednesday expirations for trading on the Exchange.
    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on intermarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act as it only
impacts the permissible expirations for an option series listed on the
Exchange. As stated, another options exchange has recently implemented
a substantively identical rule to permit Monday and Wednesday IWM
expirations on its exchange.\24\ As such, this proposal is a
competitive response that will permit the Exchange to list the same
expirations for series in a multiply-listed option as another options
exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ See supra notes 5 and 6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The Exchange neither solicited nor received comments on the
proposed rule change.

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

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section

19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \25\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \26\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6) under the
Act normally does not become operative for 30 days after the date of
its filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \27\ permits the Commission
to designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has
requested that the Commission waive the 30-day operative delay so that
the proposal may become operative immediately upon filing. The
Commission notes that it recently approved Phlx's substantially similar
proposal to list and trade Monday IWM Expirations and Wednesday IWM
Expirations.\28\ The Exchange has stated that waiver of the 30-day
operative delay will allow the Exchange to implement the proposal as a
competitive response, permitting the Exchange to list the same
expirations for series in a multiply-listed option as another options
exchange, at the same time that such options exchange intends to list
such series. For these reasons, the Commission believes that the
proposed rule change presents no novel issues and that waiver of the
30-day operative delay is consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, and will allow the Exchange to remain
competitive with other exchanges. Accordingly, the Commission hereby
waives the operative delay and designates the proposed rule change
operative upon filing.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \28\ See supra note 6.
    \29\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

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

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes. This AD was
prompted by an evaluation by the design approval holder (DAH)
indicating that certain wing fuel tank access panels are subject to
widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This AD requires replacement of
affected access panels and modification of the coamings of the
associated access holes. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 23, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of August 23,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Fokker Services B.V.
Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on November 17, 2016 (81 FR 81018) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM
was prompted by an evaluation by the DAH indicating that certain wing
fuel tank access panels are subject to WFD. The NPRM proposed to
require replacement of affected access panels and modification of the
coamings of the associated access holes. We are issuing this AD to
prevent fatigue cracking in the wing structure, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2014-0158, dated July 7, 2014 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100
series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Based on findings on test articles, fatigue-induced cracks may
develop in the coamings of certain wing fuel tank access panels Part
Number (P/N) D12395-403 and P/N D12450-403, installed on Fokker F28
Mark 0100 aeroplanes.
    To ensure the continued structural integrity with respect to
fatigue, repetitive inspections were included in the Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued
Airworthiness. Fokker Services also developed precautionary measures
to reduce stress loads in the affected areas by replacement of the
affected access panels with new panels, P/N D19701-401 and P/N
D19701-403, having thinner skin, and a modification by introducing
internal patches to the coamings of the affected access holes.
    These precautionary measures were introduced with Service
Bulletins (SB) SBF100-57-027 and SBF100-57-028. As part of the
Widespread Fatigue Damage re-evaluation, it was concluded that
repetitive inspections through the ALS do not provide a sufficient
level of protection against the fatigue-induced cracks.
    This condition, if not corrected, would affect the structural
integrity of the lower wing skins of both outer wings in the areas
surrounding the affected fuel tank access panels.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of the affected access panels and modification of the
coamings of these access holes.
    Post-modification inspection requirements depend on the actual
number of flight cycles accumulated at the moment of modification.
Related detailed information is provided in SBF100-57-027 and
SBF100-57-028, as well as in Fokker Services ALS Report SE-623 Issue
12.
    Fokker Services All Operators Message AOF100.178#05 provides
additional information concerning the subject addressed by this
[EASA] AD.

    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-2016-
9389. In the NPRM, we incorrectly cited EASA AD 2016-0125, dated June
21, 2016. We do not address EASA AD 2016-0125 or its contents in this
AD.

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 this 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 for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued the following service information:
     Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-57-027, Revision 2, dated
December 11, 2013, which provides instructions to replace certain fuel
tank access panels.
     Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-57-028, Revision 2, dated
December 11, 2013, which provides instructions to modify the coamings
of certain fuel tank access holes.
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 15 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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 that 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.

Federal Railroad Administration

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), notice is hereby given that the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA) received a request for a waiver of compliance with certain
requirements of its safety standards. The individual petition is
described below; including the party seeking relief, the regulatory
provisions involved, the nature of the relief being requested, and the
petitioner's arguments in favor of relief.

Riverport Railroad, LLC

(Waiver Petition Docket Number FRA-2008-0028)

    The Riverport Railroad, LLC (RVPR), a Class III railroad, seeks a
waiver of compliance from the requirements of Part 223--Safety Glazing
Standards 49 CFR 223.11 Requirements for existing

locomotives. Specifically, RVPR has petitioned FRA for a waiver for
three (3) 60-ton 500 horsepower diesel electric locomotives numbered
4029, 1251, and 1273. These locomotives were built for the Department
of Defense (DoD) by Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton in 1953-54, and
remanufactured by DoD circa 1987-90. RVPR operates these locomotives on
a terminal/switching railroad at the former Savanna [IL] Army Ordnance
Depot, presently controlled by the Jo Daviess/Carroll County Local
Redevelopment Authority. RVPR operates at speeds of 10 miles per hour
(or less) storing cars for customers, and servicing a railcar repair
facility.
    RVPR states that all adjoining land to the railroad is controlled
by itself, or privately owned and access controlled. All trackage is
enclosed, and there are no overhead structures or bridges from where
objects could be thrown. Interchange to the general system is
accomplished with BNSF Railway on five interchange tracks at Robinson
Spur, Illinois.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in

 Original Message From: Kissell. Mary@ epamail. epa. gov [ mailto: Kissell. Mary@ epamail. epa. gov] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2003 3: 10 PM To: Edmond_ Toy@ omb. eop. gov Cc: thrift. mike@ epamail. epa. gov; Chamberlin. Johnb@ epamail. epa. gov; Throwe. Scott@ epamail. epa. gov; Craig. Jeneva@ epamail. epa. gov; Pagano. Dennis@ epamail. epa. gov; Durkee. Stan@ epamail. epa. gov Subject: Re: follow up Edmond,

You had asked some questions and here are our responses. Hope these are helpful to you and cover all the follow up we had from our two meetings and one telephone conversation. Mary Tom, ( 919) 541 4516 1. RTO and RCO. Regenerative thermal oxidizers ( RTO) combust gas and recover some energy. RTOs incorporate ceramic beds at the inlet and outlet of the combustion chamber for up to 95 percent energy recovery. The primary difference between catalytic oxidation systems and thermal oxidation systems is that catalytic systems use a catalyst to increase the rate of the combustion reaction by allowing oxidation to occur at lower operating temperatures.

2. Cost savings in an emissions averaging standard that requires add on controls to generate emission credits. Emissions averaging ( EA) in the PCWP MACT has real cost saving opportunities. There are four ways EA can be used to reduce costs( 1) control only a portion of a regulated unit with MACT controls ( e. g., with onsite incineration or with a smaller RTO/ RCO/ BIO); ( 2) control a lower flow, more concentrated unregulated process unit ( e. g., blender, former, atmospheric refiner); ( 3) control an unregulated process unit that is easier to control ( lower moisture, lower particulate); and, ( 4) use a non MACT control device ( e. g., the AAT adsorption/ recovery device) that achieves less than 90 percent control. The first two options save money because you are controlling a lower flow rate stream and lower flow rate means the facility can use a smaller ( and presumably less costly) add on control. Or the facility may be able to route the lower flow stream to an onsite combustion unit ( which are usually limited in the volume of emissions they can treat). The third option saves money because lower flow is not the only factor affecting control costs; for example, it's cheaper to control a stream with low or no particulate than it is to control one that has a lot of particulate ( e. g., direct fired OSB dryer) since you may only need the HAP control device ( e. g., RTO) and not the up front particulate controls ( e. g. WESP). The same is true regarding moisture content a lower moisture content stream is more cost effective to incinerate. Also, EA would allow sources to use a less effective control device and some of these device may be cheaper.

3. Production based compliance option ( PBCO) and generating emissions credits. We had discussed whether a process unit that meets a PBCO limit and is under the limit could generate credits and use those credits to achieve the PBCO for another process unit. Allowing a facility to apply the unused portion of a PBCO from one process unit to a second process unit, so that the second process unit also achieve PBCO is less than MACT. I do not recommend this. Below is an example.

Press PBCO: 0.30 lb/ MSF 3/ 4" Example press processes 100,000 MSF 3/ 4" per year and emits 0.25 lb/ MSF 3/ 4" Difference in press PBCO and emissions is 0.30  0.25 = 0.05 lb/ MSF 3/ 4" Difference x throughput ( PBCO credit) is 100,000 x 0.05 = 5,000 lb/ yr Strand dryer PBCO: 0.18 lb/ ODT Example strand dryer processes 65,000 ODT/ yr and emits 0.20 lb/ ODT Uncontrolled strand dryer emissions: 65,000 x 0.20 = 13,000 lb/ yr Emissions allowed under PBCO: 65,000 x 0.18 = 11,700 lb/ yr Reduction to get under PBCO: 13,000  11,700 = 1,300 lb/ yr Reduction by 90% as required by MACT: 0.9 x 13,000 = 11,700 lb/ yr The 1,300 lb/ yr PBCO debit generated by the strand dryer could be offset by the 5,000 lb/ yr press PBCO credit; however, MACT would have required 11,700 lb/ yr reduction for the strand dryer emissions instead of 1,300 lb/ yr reduction.

4. Model plant parameters used in EPA risk assessments. Attached are two memos documenting how we estimated baseline organic HAP emissions and stack parameters for PCWP facilities. These estimates were used as inputs to EPA's rough risk analysis. In short, the baseline emissions were based on emission factors ( lb HAP/ production rate) developed from emission test data. Emission factors were developed for each HAP and for different process unit types. The emission factors were multiplied by process unit production rate to estimate emissions for each process unit. Facility emissions were determined by summing emissions estimated for each process unit at the facility. Information of the numbers and types of process units and their respective production rates was collected through our 1998 survey. We were not conservative with our baseline emission estimates; we simply performed the calculations using what the data showed.

The stack parameters were based on far less information than the baseline emission estimates and incorporate engineering judgement. We did not collect data on stack parameters or distance to the fenceline in our survey because we never envisioned needing this information. Typical process unit stack heights, diameters, and exit gas velocities were compiled from several title V permits and emission test reports. If data were not available for one type of process unit, data were used either from a similar process unit or from an average of similar process units retrieved from title V permits or emission test reports. The result was different stack parameters for different types of process units. For the risk analysis, we assumed two stacks with one stack representing one third of the emissions from the facility and having stack parameters similar to PCWP press stack parameters. The other stack was assigned two thirds of the facility emissions and " dryer" stack parameters. The model " dryer" parameters do not consider whether the dryer is an OSB rotary dryer, MDF tube dryer, or veneer dryer. The two stack assumption for the rough risk analysis may be very different from reality. In reality, PCWP plants have more than two stacks and the stack parameters can vary from stack to stack. For example, veneer dryers have multiple stacks per dryer, with multiple veneer dryers per facility in addition to the press. We did not attempt to make conservative assumptions with regard to stack parameters as inputs for the rough risk analysis. We used the typical stack parameters. These stack parameter assumptions used to create the model plant are good enough for generating impacts, but are too rough to be the basis of a facility specific low risk determination.

Also, in looking into this information for you, we realized that we had an input error for the stack diameters. The model was run with a stack diameter of 2.5 feet and should have been 5 ft for presses and 6 ft for dryers. We're uncertain how this will affect the impacts. We are re running the model to see how it changes the results. There was also a minor discrepancy with temperature ( 10o Kelvin difference), which we don't think will change the results.

5. HAP in EPA risk assessments. See attached table for comparison. ( See attached file: Baseline. wpd)( See attached file: Stack Parameter Documentation. wpd)( See attached file: PCWP HAPs 110303. wpd)

Edmond_ Toy@ omb. eo p. gov To: Mary Kissell/ RTP/ USEPA/ US@ EPA cc: 10/ 29/ 03 04: 20 PM Subject: follow up Hi Mary,

From our conversation on Monday, there were two items still outstanding. First, you mentioned that you would check into the various parameters used in the risk assessment, eg, do the assumed stack heights represent the average? median? Second, a write up that describes the emissions data ( from where, how often are different data sources used, are they measured levels, how representative, etc).

Also, could you list the HAP that were included in the updated risk assessment ( the ones not included in the analysis at proposal)?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

amendments relate to fees assessed against clearing members. The
revisions would streamline Rule 850 by deleting current text and
including new language that specifies that current information
concerning applicable fees and transaction surcharges would be set
forth in the CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins available
on CME's Web site. Fee schedules and Fee Policy Bulletins are updated
on CME's Web site as a regular practice, as applicable, when fee
changes become effective.
    The proposed changes will become effective immediately, however,
CME plans operationalize the proposed changes on October 9, 2014. CME
has also certified the proposed rule change that is the subject of this
filing to the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (``CFTC'') in CFTC
Submission 14-102.
    CME believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the
requirements of the Exchange Act including Section 17A of the Exchange
Act.\5\ The proposed changes would streamline Rule 850 by deleting
current text and specifying that current information concerning
applicable fees and transaction surcharges would be set forth in the
CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins available on CME's Web
site, which are updated as a regular practice, as applicable, when fee
changes become effective. As such, the proposed rule change would not
add new membership or fee requirements but rather would streamline
existing rule text to refer to the already existing CME fee schedule
and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins, as applicable. Because the proposed
rule change would remove content that is separately covered by existing
CME Fee Schedule and applicable Fee Policy Bulletins currently
available on CME's Web site, the proposed administrative changes would
simply streamline the language in CME Rule 850 without having the
effect of making any substantive changes to existing rules. The
proposed changes should therefore be seen to promote the prompt and
accurate clearance and settlement of securities transactions and, to
the extent applicable, derivatives agreements, contracts, and
transactions, to assure the safeguarding of securities and funds which
are in the custody or control of CME or for which it is responsible,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest in a way
that is consistent with Section 17A(b)(3)(F) of the Exchange Act.\6\
Because these proposed changes simply streamline the language in CME
Rule 850 without making any substantive changes to existing
requirements, the proposed changes are consistent with the requirements
of Section 17A of the Exchange Act \7\ and are properly filed under
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \9\ thereunder.

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

    CME does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact, or impose any burden, on competition. The revisions do not
impact current fee levels but rather simply streamline current CME Rule
850 by deleting text and replacing it with new language that makes
clear applicable fees and transaction surcharges will be set forth in
the CME fee schedule and/or CME Fee Policy Bulletins available on CME's
Web site.

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

    CME has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit, comments
regarding this proposed rule change. CME has not received any
unsolicited written comments from interested parties.

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) \10\ of the Act and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) \11\
thereunder. At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend 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.
