DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. NHTSA-2019-0005]

Decision That Certain Nonconforming Motor Vehicles Are Eligible
for Importation

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Grant of petitions.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces decisions by NHTSA that certain motor
vehicles not originally manufactured to comply with all applicable
Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) are eligible for
importation into the United States because they are substantially
similar to vehicles originally manufactured for sale in the United
States and certified by their manufacturers as complying with the
safety standards, and are capable of being readily altered to conform
to the standards.

DATES: These decisions became applicable on the dates specified in
Annex A.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Neil Thurgood, Office of Vehicle
Safety Compliance, NHTSA<PHONE_NUMBER>).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), a motor vehicle that was not
originally manufactured to conform to all applicable FMVSS shall be
refused admission into the United States unless NHTSA has decided that
the motor vehicle is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
originally manufactured for importation into and/or sale in the United
States, certified under 49 U.S.C. 30115, and of the same model year as
the model of the motor vehicle to be compared, and is capable of being
readily altered to conform to all applicable FMVSS.
    Where there is no substantially similar U.S.-certified motor
vehicle, 49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(B) permits a nonconforming motor vehicle
to be admitted into the United States if its safety features comply
with, or are capable of being altered to comply with, all applicable
FMVSS based on destructive test data or such other evidence as NHTSA
decides to be adequate.
    Petitions for eligibility decisions may be submitted by either
manufacturers or importers who have registered with NHTSA pursuant to
49 CFR part 592. As specified in 49 CFR part 593.7, NHTSA publishes
notice in the Federal Register of each petition that it receives, and
affords interested persons an opportunity to comment on the petition.
At the close of the comment period, NHTSA decides, on the basis of the
petition and any comments that it has received, whether the vehicle is
eligible for importation. The agency then notifies the petitioner of
its decision by letter and publishes public notification of the
decision in the Federal Register.
    NHTSA received petitions from registered importers (RIs) to decide
whether the vehicles listed in Annex A to this notice are eligible for
importation into the United States. To afford an opportunity for public
comment, NHTSA published notice of these petitions as specified in
Annex A. The reader is referred to those notices for a thorough
description of the petitions.
    Comments: No substantive comments were received in response to the
petitions identified in Annex A.
    NHTSA Decision: Accordingly, on the basis of the foregoing, NHTSA
hereby decides that each motor vehicle listed in Annex A to this
notice, which was not originally manufactured to comply with all
applicable FMVSS, is substantially similar to a motor vehicle
manufactured for importation into and/or sale in the United States and
certified by its manufacturer under 49 U.S.C. 30115, as specified in
Annex A, and is capable of being readily altered to conform to all
applicable FMVSS.
    NHTSA has also concluded that each RI who imports and modifies a
vehicle under one of the subject vehicle eligibility numbers for the
first time must include in the statement of conformity and associated
documents (``conformity package'') it submits to the NHTSA under 49 CFR
part 592.6(d) explicit proof to confirm that the vehicle was, where
applicable, originally manufactured to conform to, or was successfully
altered to conform to, FMVSS No. 101, Controls and Displays, FMVSS No.
138, Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems, FMVSS No. 208, Occupant Crash
Protection, and FMVSS No. 301, Fuel System Integrity. This proof must
include detailed descriptions of all modifications made, including a
detailed description of systems in place (if any) on the vehicle as
delivered to the RI, and a similarly detailed description of
alterations made to the vehicle and said systems, including photographs
of all required labeling. The descriptions must also include parts
assembly diagrams and associated part numbers for all components that
were removed from or installed in the vehicle, an accounting of any
computer programming modifications undertaken, and a description of how
compliance was verified after alteration of the vehicle.
    Vehicle Eligibility Number for Subject Vehicles: In order to import
a vehicle made admissible under any final decision, the importer must
indicate to U.S. Customs and Border Protection that the vehicle has
been determined eligible for importation. This is done by indicating
the eligibility number, published under that final decision, on DOT
declaration form HS-7. Vehicle eligibility numbers assigned to vehicles
admissible under this decision are specified in Annex A.

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 30141(a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B) and (b)(1); 49
CFR 593.7; delegations of authority at 49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8.

[Docket No. FDA-2012-N-0002]

New Animal Drugs; Ceftiofur Crystalline Free Acid; Gamithromycin;
Tylosin

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect approval actions for new animal drug
applications (NADAs) and abbreviated new animal drug applications
(ANADAs) during February 2012. FDA is also informing the public of the
availability of summaries of the basis of approval and of environmental
review documents, where applicable.

DATES: This rule is effective May 3, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George K. Haibel, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-6), Food and Drug Administration, 7519
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine is
adopting the use of a monthly Federal Register document to codify
approval actions for NADAs and ANADAs. CVM will no longer publish a
separate rule for each action. This approach will allow a more
efficient use of available resources.
    In this document, FDA is amending the animal drug regulations to
reflect the original and supplemental approval actions during February
2012, as listed in table 1 of this document. FDA is also informing the
public of the availability of summaries of the basis of approval (FOI
Summaries) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and of
environmental review documents required under the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), where applicable.

  effect on the human environment.

    The basis of approval of actions requiring review of safety or
effectiveness data is discussed in an FOI Summary that may be seen in
the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852,

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2013-0022]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of applications for exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces receipt of applications from 21 individuals
for exemption from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations. They are unable to meet the vision requirement in
one eye for various reasons. The exemptions will enable these
individuals to operate commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in interstate

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-year period
if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption.'' FMCSA can renew exemptions at the end of each
2-year period. The 21 individuals listed in this notice have each
requested such an exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The hearings will provide interested parties
the opportunity to present data, views or arguments concerning the
proposed actions. The EPA will make every effort to accommodate all
speakers who arrive and register. Because these hearings are being held
at U.S. government facilities, individuals planning to attend the
hearing should be prepared to show valid picture identification to the
security staff in order to gain access to the meeting room. Please note
that the REAL ID Act, passed by Congress in 2005, established new
requirements for entering federal facilities. These requirements will
take effect July 21, 2014. If your driver's license is issued by
Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine,
Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New York, Oklahoma or the state of
Washington, you must present an additional form of identification to
enter the federal buildings where the public hearings will be held.
Acceptable alternative forms of identification include: Federal
employee badges, passports, enhanced driver's licenses and military
identification cards. We will list any additional acceptable forms of
identification at: http://www.epa.gov/

cleanpowerplan. In addition, you will need to obtain a property pass
for any personal belongings you bring with you. Upon leaving the
building, you will be required to return this property pass to the
security desk. No large signs will be allowed in the building, cameras
may only be used outside of the building and demonstrations will not be
allowed on federal property for security reasons.
    The EPA may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations,
but will not respond to the presentations. Written statements and
supporting information submitted during the comment period will be
considered with the same weight as oral comments and supporting
information presented at the public hearing. Commenters should notify

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 certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model DHC-8-102, -103, -106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 18,
2014 (79 FR 48703).
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2007-32R2, dated June 27, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition on certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-102, -103, -
106, -201, -202, -301, -311, and -315 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier Aerospace has completed a system safety review of the
aeroplanes fuel system against fuel tank safety standards * * *. The
identified non-compliances were then assessed * * *, to determine if
mandatory corrective action is required.
    The assessment showed that supplemental maintenance tasks are
required to prevent potential ignition sources within the fuel
system, which could result in a fuel tank explosion. Revisions have
been made to Part 2 ``Airworthiness Limitations List'' of the DHC-8
Maintenance Program Manuals to introduce the required maintenance
tasks.
    Revision 1 of this [Canadian] AD was issued to clarify the
phase-in schedule for tasks FSL-02 and FSL-17.
    Revision 2 of this [Canadian] AD is issued to correct the
effective date of [Canadian] AD CF-2013-07 [http://www.casa.gov.au/scripts/nc.dll?WCMS:OLDASSET::svPath=/ADFiles/over/dhc-8/,svFileName=CF-2013-07.pdf] referenced in Part III of the Corrective
Actions and to clarify the revised phase-in schedules in Part II and
Part III of the Corrective Actions.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-0570-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18,
2014) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Changes to This Final Rule

    Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) was published, the
information in Bombardier Temporary Revision (TR) AWL-110, dated August
31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, Product
Support Manual PSM 1-8-7, has been merged in Subject 5-FSL of Section
5, ``Fuel System Limitations,'' of the ``Airworthiness Limitations
List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual,
PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated February 23, 2012. We have removed
paragraph (g)(1) of the proposed AD that referred to Bombardier TR AWL-
110, dated August 31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations
List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual,
Product Support Manual PSM 1-8-7, and we have redesignated paragraph
(g)(2) of the proposed AD as paragraph (g)(1) of this AD. We have also
added new paragraph (g)(5) of this AD to refer to Subject 5-FSL of
Section 5, ``Fuel System Limitations,'' of the ``Airworthiness
Limitations List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance
Program Manual, PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated February 23, 2012.
    We have included a new paragraph (j) in this AD to provide credit
for accomplishing the revision to the maintenance or inspection
program, as

applicable, to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank systems before
the effective date of this AD using Bombardier TR AWL-110, dated August
31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, Product
Support Manual PSM 1-8-7. The subsequent paragraphs have been
redesignated accordingly.
    Since the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) was published, we
also received Bombardier TR AWL 2-47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part
2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7, which supersedes Bombardier TR
AWL 2-43, dated August 31, 2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness
Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200 Maintenance Program
Manual, PSM 1-82-7. We have added paragraph (g)(2) of this AD to refer
to Bombardier TR AWL 2-47, dated February 16, 2011, to Part 2,
``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8 Series 200
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7, as an appropriate source of
service information to accomplish the revision required by paragraph
(g) of this AD.
    Furthermore, we also received Bombardier TR AWL 3-117, dated
February 16, 2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the
Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7,
which supersedes Bombardier TR AWL 3-109, dated August 31, 2007, to
Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of Bombardier Dash 8 Series 300
Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7. We have added paragraph (g)(4)
of this AD to refer to Bombardier TR AWL 3-117, dated February 16,
2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7, as an appropriate
source of service information to accomplish the revision required by
paragraph (g) of this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD with the changes described
previously and minor editorial changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014) for correcting the unsafe
condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 48703, August 18, 2014).

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued the following service information:
     Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 2-43, dated August 31,
2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 200 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7.
     Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 2-47, dated February 16,
2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 200 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-82-7.
     Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 3-109, dated August 31,
2007, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier Dash
8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7.
     Bombardier Temporary Revision AWL 3-117, dated February
16, 2011, to Part 2, ``Airworthiness Limitations,'' of the Bombardier
Dash 8 Series 300 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-83-7.
     Subject 5-FSL of Section 5, ``Fuel System Limitations,''
of the ``Airworthiness Limitations List,'' of the Bombardier Dash 8
Series 100 Maintenance Program Manual, PSM 1-8-7, Revision 18, dated
February 23, 2012.
    The service information describes revising the maintenance or
inspection program to incorporate new limitations for fuel tank
systems. 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 of this
AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 122 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD on U.S. operators to be $10,370, or $85 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this 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.
