SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-55385; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2007-018]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of Proposed
Rule Change to Trade iShares Silver Trust Pursuant to Unlisted Trading
Privileges

March 2, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

(``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on March 1, 2007, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'') filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed
rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items have been
substantially prepared by Nasdaq. This order provides notice of the
proposed rule change and approves it on an accelerated basis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

    Nasdaq is proposing to trade shares (``Shares'') of the iShares
Silver Trust (``Trust'') pursuant to unlisted trading privileges
(``UTP''). The text of the proposed rule change is available from
Nasdaq's Web site at http://www.nasdaq.complinet.com, at Nasdaq's

principal office, 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, Nasdaq included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item III below. Nasdaq 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
    Nasdaq proposes to trade the Shares on a UTP basis. Nasdaq is
submitting this filing because its current listing standards do not
extend to the Shares. However, systems operated by Nasdaq and its
affiliates currently trade the Shares on an over-the-counter basis as
facilities of NASD. This filing will allow Nasdaq to trade the Shares
as an exchange.
    The Shares represent beneficial ownership interests in the net
assets of the Trust, consisting primarily of silver bullion. The
investment objective of the Trust is for the Shares to reflect the
performance of the price of silver, less the Trust's expenses. The
Trust is not an investment company under the Investment Company Act of
1940.
    The Commission previously approved the listing and trading of the
Shares on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').\3\ Nasdaq deems
the Shares to be equity securities, thus rendering trading in the
Shares subject to Nasdaq's existing rules governing the trading of
equity securities, including Nasdaq Rule 4630.\4\ The primary trading
hours for the Shares on Nasdaq would be 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53521 (March 20,
2006), 71 FR 14967 (March 24, 2006) (SR-AMEX-2005-072) (``Amex
Order'').
    \4\ On November 16, 2006, the Commission approved a filing by
Nasdaq to adopt Rule 4630, which governs the trading of and
surveillance procedures applicable to Commodity-Based Trust Shares.
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 54765 (November 16, 2006), 71 FR
67668 (November 22, 2006) (SR-NASDAQ-2006-009). Because silver is
included within the rule's definition of a commodity, Rule 4630 is
applicable to the Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Issuances of Shares will be made only in baskets of 50,000 Shares
or multiples thereof (``Baskets'' or ``Basket Aggregations''). The
Trust issues and redeems the Shares on a continuous basis, by or
through participants that have entered into participant agreements
(each, an ``Authorized Participant'').\5\ Baskets are issued as an in-
kind exchange for a corresponding amount of silver. The basket amount
of silver, measured in ounces (the ``Basket Silver Amount'') is
determined on each business day by Bank of New York, as trustee for the
Trust (``Trustee'').\6\ Authorized Participants are the only persons
that may place orders to create and redeem Baskets. An Authorized
Participant purchasing a Basket is able to separate it into individual
Shares for resale.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ An ``Authorized Participant'' is a person, who at the time
of submitting to the trustee of the Trust an order to create or
redeem one or more Baskets: (a) Is a registered broker-dealer; (b)
is a Depository Trust Company Participant or Indirect Participant;
and (c) has in effect a valid Authorized Participant Agreement.
    \6\ On each business day, the Trustee makes available,
immediately prior to the opening of trading on Amex, the Indicative
Basket Silver Amount for the creation of a Basket. The sponsor of
the Trust also makes the next day's Indicative Basket Silver Amount
available on the Trust's Web site at http://www.iShares.com shortly

after 4 p.m. ET each business day.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    When calculating the net asset value (``NAV'') per Share, the
Trustee values the silver held by the Trust on the basis of the day's
announced London silver fix price. The calculation methodology for the
NAV is described in more detail in the Amex Order. After the NAV is
determined, at or about 4 p.m. ET each business day, the Trustee then
determines the Basket Silver Amount for orders placed by Authorized
Participants received before 4 p.m. ET that day. The Trustee at the
same time determines an ``Indicative Basket Silver Amount'' that
Authorized Participants can use as an indicative amount of silver to be
deposited for issuance of the Shares on the next business day. Thus,
although Authorized Participants place orders to purchase Shares
throughout the trading day, the actual Basket Silver Amount is
determined at 4 p.m. ET or shortly thereafter.
    After 4 p.m. ET each business day, the Trustee and the sponsor of
the Trust disseminate the NAV for the Shares, the Basket Silver Amount
(for orders properly placed by 4 p.m. ET during the day), and the next
day's Indicative Basket Silver Amount. The Basket Silver Amount, the
Indicative Basket Silver Amount, and the NAV are communicated by the
Trustee to all Authorized Participants via facsimile or electronic mail
and on the Trust's Web Site at http://www.iShares.com (to which Nasdaq will link from its Web site at http://www.nasdaq.com).

    Quotations for and last sale information regarding the Shares are
disseminated through the Consolidated Tape System. The Web site for the
Trust, which is publicly accessible at no charge, contains the
following information: (a) The prior business day's NAV and the
reported closing price; (b) the mid-point of the bid-ask price in
relation to the NAV as of the time the NAV is calculated (the ``Bid-Ask
Price''); (c) calculation of the premium or discount of such price
against such NAV; (d) data in chart form displaying the frequency
distribution of discounts and premiums of the Bid-Ask Price against the
NAV, within appropriate ranges for each of the four previous calendar
quarters; (e) the Basket Silver Amount; (f) the Indicative Basket
Silver Amount; (g) the Prospectus; and (h) other applicable
quantitative information, such as expense ratios, trading volumes, and
the total returns of the Shares.
    The Trust's Web site also provides at no charge continuously
updated bids and offers indicative of the spot price of silver.\7\
Complete real-time data for silver futures contracts and options prices
traded on the COMEX, a division of the New York Mercantile Exchange,
Inc. (``NYMEX''), is available by subscription from Reuters and
Bloomberg and also on a delayed basis free of charge on the NYMEX Web
site at http://www.nymex.com The London silver fix price is readily available from the LBMA at http://www.lbma.org.uk., automated quotation

systems, published or other public sources, or online

information services such as Bloomberg or Reuters.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Trust's Web site's silver spot price is provided by The
Bullion Desk (http://thebulliondesk.com), which is not affiliated

with Amex, the Trust, the Trustee, or the sponsor of the Trust.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the Amex Order, Amex also disseminates for the Trust
on a daily basis by means of CTA/CQ High Speed Lines information with
respect to the Indicative Trust Value (``ITV'') for the Trust. The ITV
is disseminated on a per-Share basis at least every 15 seconds from
9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. ET. The ITV is calculated based on the amount of
silver required for creations and redemptions and a price of silver
derived from updated bids and offers indicative of the spot price of
silver.
    Nasdaq will halt trading in the Shares under the conditions
specified in Nasdaq Rules 4120 and 4121. The conditions for a halt
include a regulatory halt by the listing market. UTP trading in the
Shares will also be governed by provisions of Nasdaq Rule 4120(b)
relating to temporary interruptions in the calculation or wide
dissemination of the Indicative Trust Value (which is comparable to the
IIV or IOPV of an ETF) or the value of the spot price of silver.
Additionally, Nasdaq may cease trading the Shares if other unusual
conditions or circumstances exist which, in the opinion of Nasdaq, make
further dealings on Nasdaq detrimental to the maintenance of a fair and
orderly market. Nasdaq will also follow any procedures with respect to
trading halts as set forth in Nasdaq Rule 4120(c). Finally, Nasdaq will
stop trading the Shares if the listing market delists them.
    Nasdaq believes that its surveillance procedures are adequate to
address any concerns about the trading of the Shares on Nasdaq. Trading
of the Shares through NASD facilities operated by Nasdaq is currently
subject to NASD's surveillance procedures for equity securities in
general and ETFs in particular. After Nasdaq begins to trade the Shares
as an exchange, NASD, on behalf of Nasdaq, will continue to surveil
Nasdaq trading, including Nasdaq trading of the Shares. Nasdaq's
transition to exchange status will not result in any change in the
surveillance process with respect to the Shares.\8\ In addition, Nasdaq
has entered into an information sharing agreement with NYMEX for the
purpose of providing information in connection with trading in or
related to COMEX silver futures contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Surveillance of all trading on NASD facilities operated by
Nasdaq, including the trading of the Shares, is currently being
conducted by NASD. After Nasdaq begins to trade the Shares as an
exchange, NASD will continue to surveil trading pursuant to a
regulatory services agreement. Nasdaq is responsible for NASD's
performance under this regulatory services agreement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In connection with the trading of the Shares, Nasdaq will inform
its members in an Information Circular of the special characteristics
and risks associated with trading the Shares. Specifically, the
Information Circular will discuss the following: (a) The procedures for
purchases and redemptions of Shares in Baskets (including noting that
Shares are not individually redeemable); (b) Nasdaq Rule 2310, which
imposes suitability obligations on Nasdaq members with respect to
recommending transactions in the Shares to customers; (c) how
information regarding the ITV is disseminated; (d) the requirement that
members deliver a prospectus to investors purchasing the Shares prior
to or concurrently with the confirmation of a transaction; and (e)
trading information. Nasdaq notes that investors purchasing Shares
directly from the Trust (by delivery of the Basket Silver Amount) will
receive a prospectus. Members purchasing Shares from the Trust for
resale to investors will deliver a prospectus to such investors.
    In addition, the Information Circular will reference that the Trust
is subject to various fees and expenses described in the Registration
Statement and that the number of ounces of silver required to create a
Basket or to be delivered upon redemption of a Basket will gradually
decrease over time because the Shares comprising a Basket will
represent a decreasing amount of silver due to the sale of the Trust's
silver to pay Trust expenses. The Information Circular will also
reference the fact that there is no regulated source of last-sale
information regarding physical silver, that the Commission has no
jurisdiction over the trading of silver as a physical commodity, and
that the CFTC has regulatory jurisdiction over the trading of silver
futures contracts and options on silver futures contracts. The
Information Circular will also discuss any relief granted by the
Commission or the staff from any rules under the Act.
2. Statutory Basis
    Nasdaq believes that the proposal is consistent with Section 6(b)
of the Act \9\ in general and Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in
particular in that in that it is designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, remove impediments to a free and open market and a
national market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. In addition, Nasdaq believes that the proposal is
consistent with Rule 12f-5 under the Act \11\ because it deems the
Shares to be equity securities, thus rendering trading in the Shares
subject to Nasdaq's existing rules governing the trading of equity
securities.

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

    Nasdaq 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.

IV. Commission's Findings and Order Granting Accelerated Approval of
Proposed Rule Change

    The Commission finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\12\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\13\ which
requires that an exchange have rules designed, among other things, to
promote just and equitable principles of trade, 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. The Commission believes that this proposal should benefit
investors by increasing competition among markets that trade the
Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ In approving this rule change, the Commission notes that it
has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Commission finds that the proposal is consistent
with Section 12(f) of the Act,\14\ which permits an exchange to trade,
pursuant to UTP, a security that is listed and registered on another
exchange.\15\ The Commission notes that it previously approved the
listing and trading of the Shares on Amex.\16\ The Commission also
finds that the proposal is consistent with Rule 12f-5 under the
Act,\17\ which provides that an exchange shall not extend UTP to a
security unless the exchange has in effect a rule or rules providing
for transactions in the class or type of security to which the exchange
extends UTP. Nasdaq has represented that it meets this requirement
because it deems the Shares to be equity securities, thus rendering
trading in the Shares subject to Nasdaq's existing rules governing the
trading of equity securities, including Nasdaq Rule 4630 which governs
the trading of and surveillance procedures applicable to Commodity-
based trust shares such as the Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(f).
    \15\ Section 12(a) of the Act, 15 U.S.C. 78l(a), generally
prohibits a broker-dealer from trading a security on a national
securities exchange unless the security is registered on that
exchange pursuant to Section 12 of the Act. Section 12(f) of the Act
excludes from this restriction trading in any security to which an
exchange ``extends UTP.'' When an exchange extends UTP to a
security, it allows its members to trade the security as if it were
listed and registered on the exchange even though it is not so
listed and registered.
    \16\ See supra note 3.
    \17\ 17 CFR 240.12f-5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission further believes that the proposal is consistent
with Section 11A(a)(1)(C)(iii) of the Act,\18\ which sets forth
Congress' finding that it is in the public interest and appropriate for
the protection of investors and the maintenance of fair and orderly
markets to assure the availability to brokers, dealers, and investors
of information with respect to quotations for and transactions in
securities. Quotations for and last sale information regarding the
Shares are disseminated through the Consolidated Tape System.
Furthermore, an ITV for each Trust on a per-Share basis is disseminated
by Amex through the CTA/CQ High Speed Lines at least every 15-seconds
during Nasdaq's regular trading hours. In addition, the Trustee
disseminates the Basket Silver Amount, the Indicative Basket Silver
Amount, and the NAV to all Authorized Participants via facsimile or e-
mail. This information--as well as additional trading data such as the
prior business day's NAV and reported closing price, the Bid-Ask Price
and updated bids and offers indicative of the spot price of silver--is
also available on the Trust's Web site to which Nasdaq's Web site will
link. Furthermore, complete real-time data for silver future contracts
and option prices traded on COMEX is available by subscription from
Bloomberg and Reuters and also on a delayed basis free of charge on
NYMEX's Web site. The London silver fix price is readily available from
the LBMA Web site, automated quotation systems, published or other
public sources, or on-line information services. If the listing market
halts trading in the Shares, or if the ITV or the value of the spot
price of silver is not being calculated or disseminated, Nasdaq would
halt trading in the Shares.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(1)(C)(iii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission notes that, if the Shares should be delisted by the
listing exchange, Nasdaq would no longer have authority to trade the
Shares pursuant to this order.
    In support of this proposal, Nasdaq has made the following
representations:
    (1) Nasdaq's surveillance procedures are adequate to address any
concerns associated with the trading of the Shares on Nasdaq.
    (2) Nasdaq has entered into an Information Sharing Agreement with
NYMEX for the purpose of providing information in connection with
trading in or related to COMEX silver futures contracts.
    (3) Nasdaq would inform its members in an Information Circular of
the special characteristics and risks associated with trading the
Shares, including procedures for purchases and redemptions of Shares,
suitability recommendation requirements, dissemination of the ITV, and
trading information.
    (4) Nasdaq would require its members to deliver a prospectus to
investors purchasing Shares prior to or concurrently with a transaction
in such Shares and will note this prospectus delivery requirement in
the Information Circular.
    This approval order is conditioned on Nasdaq's adherence to these
representations.
    The Commission finds good cause for approving this proposal before
the thirtieth day after the publication of notice thereof in the
Federal Register. As noted above, the Commission previously found that
the listing and trading of the Shares on Amex is consistent with the
Act. The Commission presently is not aware of any regulatory issue that
should cause it to revisit that finding or would preclude the trading
of the Shares on Nasdaq pursuant to UTP. Furthermore, accelerated
approval of this proposal will facilitate Nasdaq's ability to continue
trading these securities as Nasdaq becomes an exchange with respect to
non-Nasdaq-listed securities, where there appears to be no regulatory
concerns about such trading. Therefore, accelerating approval of this
proposal should benefit investors by creating, without undue delay,
additional competition in the market for such Shares.

V. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Exchange Act,\19\ that the proposed rule change (SR-NASDAQ-2007-018),
be, and it hereby is, approved on an accelerated basis.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of dual flight
management system (FMS) resets with the loss of flight plan (F-PLN)
data. This proposed AD would require revising the airplane flight
manual (AFM) to prohibit Required Navigation Performance--Authorization
Required (RNP-AR) operations using Flight Management Guidance Envelope
Computer (FMGEC) standard P5H3. This proposed AD would also require
modifying the FMS software of airplanes equipped with FMGEC standard
P5H3. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 4,
2018.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2017-0233, dated November 23, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A330-200, Model A330-
200 Freighter, and Model A330-300 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Operators of [Airbus] A330 aeroplanes fitted with a Flight
Management Guidance Envelope Computer (FMGEC) standard P5H3 have
reported some occurrences of dual Flight Management System (FMS)
reset with the loss of Flight Plan (F-PLN) data. These events have
been identified in all flight phases, including Take-Off transition.
    This condition, if not corrected, particularly in the context of
Required Navigation Performance--Authorization Required (RNP-AR)
operations of the aeroplane, could lead to a large reduction in
safety margins due to terrain and/or surrounded traffic proximity
[below acceptable safety margins], and out of the context of RNP-AR
operations could lead to an increased pilot workload.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Airbus issued
Aircraft Flight Manual (AFM) Temporary Revision (TR) 774 issue 1
[approved October 13, 2017, to the Airbus A330/A340 Airplane Flight
Manual] to provide instructions to prohibit RNP-AR operations. In
addition, Airbus developed modification (mod) 207362 to allow FMS
software downgrading from P5 to P4A standard, and issued [Airbus]
Alert Operator Transmission (AOT) A22L002-17 [dated October 20,
2017] providing instructions to implement that mod on in-service
aeroplanes. As a long term action, Airbus intends to publish
[Airbus] Service Bulletin (SB) A330-22-3264 [dated March 14, 2018],
which will supersede [Alert Operators Transmission] AOT A22L002-17
[dated October 20, 2017], to provide the same instructions for FMS
software downgrade.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
amendment of the applicable AFM and operating the aeroplane
accordingly, and requires FMS software downgrading of aeroplanes
with FMGEC standard P5H3.

    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-
0584.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Temporary Revision TR774, RNP-AR Operations

Forbidden with FMGEC Standard P5H3, Issue 1, approved October 13, 2017,
to the Airbus A330/A340 Airplane Flight Manual. The service information
describes the operational restrictions for Required Navigation
Performance--Authorization Required (RNP-AR) on Airbus A330 airplanes
equipped with FMGEC standard P5H3.
    Airbus has issued Airbus Service Bulletin A330-22-3264, dated March
14, 2018. The service information describes procedures to downgrade the
FMS from P5 to P4A operational software on P5H3 FMGEC standard, by
embodying Modification 207362S34542 on the affected airplanes.
    The 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.

Other Related Service Information

    The Airbus A330/A340 Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) for the aircraft
affected by this AD is required to be furnished with the aircraft, per
14 CFR 25.1581. Further, operators of the aircraft affected by this AD
must operate in accordance with the limitations specified in the AFM,
per 14 CFR 91.9.

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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours x $85 per hour = $255...........................              $0             $255             $765
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some or all of the costs of this
proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost
impact on affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, we have included all known costs in
our cost estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2018-0584; Product Identifier 2017-NM-173-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by September 4, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to Airbus Model A330-201, A330-202, A330-203,
A330-223, A330-223F, A330-243, A330-243F, A330-301, A330-302, A330-
303, A330-321, A330-322, A330-323, A330-341, A330-342, and A330-343
airplanes, certificated in any category, all manufacturer serial
numbers.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 22, Auto flight.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of dual flight management system
(FMS) resets with the loss of flight plan (F-PLN) data. We are
issuing this AD to address dual FMS reset and loss of F-PLN data,
which in the context of Required Navigation Performance--
Authorization Required (RNP-AR) operations of the airplane could
result in significantly reduced situational awareness of proximity
to terrain and/or other aircraft to below

acceptable safety margins, and out of the context of RNP-AR
operations could lead to an unusually high pilot workload.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Definitions

    For the purposes of this AD, the definitions in paragraphs
(g)(1) through (g)(3) of this AD apply.
    (1) Group 1 airplanes are those that have Flight Management
Guidance Envelope Computer (FMGEC) standard P5H3 (Airbus
Modification 204758 Part Number (P/N) FMGEC C13226HA07 with P/N FMS
operational SW PS4087700-906) embodied in production, or embodied in
service as specified in Airbus Service Bulletin A330-22-3209; or
Airbus Service Bulletin A330-22-3225; or Airbus Service Bulletin
A330-22-3244; or Airbus Service Bulletin A330-22-3247; or Airbus
Service Bulletin A330-22-3262, except those that have RNP-AR.
    (2) Group 2 airplanes have the same configuration as those in
Group 1, but in addition have RNP-AR (Airbus Modification 203441, or
Airbus Modification 203442, or Airbus Modification 200624) embodied
in production or Airbus Service Bulletin A330-34-3262; or Airbus
Service Bulletin A330-34-3308; or Airbus Service Bulletin A330-34-
3345, embodied in service.
    (3) Group 3 airplanes are those in any configuration other than
that identified in paragraph (g)(1) or (g)(2) of this AD.

(h) Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) Revision

    For Group 2 airplanes: Within 30 days after the effective date
of this AD, revise the Limitations section of the Airbus A330/A340
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) to include the information in Temporary
Revision TR774, RNP-AR Operations Forbidden with FMGEC Standard
P5H3, Issue 1, approved October 13, 2017 (``TR774''), and inform all
flight crews, and, thereafter, operate the airplane accordingly, as
specified in the TR. TR774 prohibits the RNP-AR operation on Airbus
A330 airplanes equipped with FMGEC standard P5H3. Revising the AFM
to include TR774 may be done by inserting a copy of TR774 in the
AFM. When this TR has been included in general revisions of the AFM,
the general revisions may be inserted in the AFM, provided the
relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in
TR774, and the TR may be removed.

(i) FMS Software Modification

    (1) For Group 1 and Group 2 airplanes: Within 60 days after the
effective date of this AD, modify the airplane by installing FMS
software P4A (P/N FMS operational SW PS4087700-905) on FMGEC
standard P5H3 (P/N FMGEC C13226HA07 with P/N FMS operational SW
PS4087700-906) in accordance with the instructions of Airbus Service
Bulletin A330-22-3264, dated March 14, 2018.
    (2) For Group 2 airplanes: After modification of an airplane as
required by paragraph (i)(1) of this AD, the AFM revision required
by paragraph (h) of this AD may be removed from the AFM of that
airplane.

(j) Optional Modification

    For Group 3 airplanes: From the effective date of this AD, it is
allowed to modify any airplane into a Group 1 or Group 2
configuration, provided that, concurrently, that airplane is
modified in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Airbus Service Bulletin A330-22-3264, dated March 14, 2018.

(k) Credit for Previous Actions

    This paragraph provides credit for the actions required by
paragraph (i) of this AD and optional actions specified in paragraph
(j) of this AD, if those actions were performed before the effective
date of this AD using Airbus Alert Operators Transmission--AOT
A22L002-17, dated October 20, 2017.

(l) 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 (m)(2) of this AD. Information
may be emailed to: [email protected]. 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.
    (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

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R01-OAR-2016-0166; FRL-10414-01-R1]

Air Plan Approval; Connecticut; Plan Submittals for the 2008
Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard; Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting a
final rule that was published in the Federal Register on October 1,
2018, which became effective on October 31, 2018. The final rule
approved State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the
State of Connecticut to address SIP revisions submitted to meet
moderate area nonattainment requirements for the 2008 ozone standard.
The SIP revisions are for the Greater Connecticut and the Connecticut
portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT
moderate ozone nonattainment areas, and include these areas 2011 base
year emissions inventories, an emissions statement certification,
reasonable further progress (RFP) demonstrations, reasonably available
control measures (RACM) analyses, motor vehicle emissions budgets, and
contingency measures. This correction does not change any final action
taken by EPA on October 1, 2018; today's action merely corrects the
Clean Air Act (CAA) citation for moderate area contingency measures. We
have determined that there is good cause for making today's rule final
without prior proposal and opportunity for comment because we are
merely correcting an incorrect citation in a previous action. Thus,
notice and public procedure are unnecessary.

DATES: This rule became effective on October 31, 2018.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R01-OAR-2016-0166. All documents in the docket
are listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed
in the index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We find that this constitutes good cause
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).
    In FR doc. 2018-21150 appearing on page 49297 at 83 FR 49297 in the
Federal Register of October 1, 2018, the following correction to the
regulatory text is made:

Sec.  52.377  [Corrected]

    On page 49298, in the second column, in Sec.  52.377, in amendment
2, correct paragraph (t) Approval, to read as follows:
    (t) Approval. Revisions to the State Implementation Plan submitted
by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection on
January 17, 2017, September 5, 2017, and August 8, 2017, to meet, in
part, requirements of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. These revisions satisfy the
rate of progress requirement of section 182(b) through 2017, the
contingency measure requirements of section 172(c)(9), the emission
statement requirements of section 182(a)(3)(B), and the reasonably
available control measure requirement of section 172(c)(1) for the
Connecticut portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island,
NY-NJ-CT area, and the Greater Connecticut moderate ozone nonattainment
