14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0513; Product Identifier 2019-SW-037-AD; Amendment
39-21321; AD 2020-23-05]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-08-01
for Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters. AD 2018-08-01
required inspecting the control rod attachment yokes (yoke) of certain
main rotor rotating swashplates (swashplate). This new AD retains the
inspection requirements of AD 2018-08-01, expands the applicability,
establishes a life limit, and adds a one-time inspection of stripped
yokes. This AD was prompted by the identification of additional
swashplate serial numbers affected by the unsafe condition and the
establishment of a life limit for the swashplates. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 24, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 24,
2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2018-08-01, Amendment 39-19254 (83 FR
17617, April 23, 2018) (AD 2018-08-01) and add a new AD. AD 2018-08-01
applied to Airbus Helicopters Model EC225LP helicopters with certain
serial-numbered swashplates part number (P/N) 332A31-3074-00 or P/N
332A31-3074-01 installed. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on
June 3, 2020 (85 FR 34118). The NPRM proposed to require determining
the date of manufacture of the swashplate and establishing a life limit
of 12 years since the date of manufacture. The NPRM proposed to retain
the repetitive visual inspections of AD 2018-08-01 to inspect each yoke
for a crack at intervals not to exceed 15 hours time-in-service (TIS)
for swashplates that have accumulated less than 7 years since the date
of manufacture. For a swashplate that has accumulated 7 or more years,
but less than 12 years since the date of manufacture, the NPRM proposed
to require removing the grease and stripping certain areas of the yokes
and inspecting these areas for corrosion, pitting, loss of material,
and a crack. If there are no cracks, the NPRM proposed to require
performing a dye penetrant inspection of the yoke for a crack.
Depending on the results of this inspection, the NPRM proposed to
require either repairing the surface of the swashplate or removing it
from service.
    The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD No. 2019-0074, dated March 28,
2019 (EASA AD 2019-0074) issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent
for the Member States of the European Union, to supersede EASA AD No.
2017-0191R2, dated December 15, 2017

(EASA AD 2017-0191R2). EASA AD 2019-0074 followed Airbus Helicopters
revising Emergency Alert Service Bulletin (EASB) No. 05A051, Revision
1, dated November 16, 2017, to Revision 2, dated February 26, 2019, to
establish a life limit (also called a service life limit) of 12 years
for the swashplate and add a reporting requirement if there is a crack
or corrosion in a yoke. EASA advises that additional analysis
determined that it is necessary to introduce the new life limit for the
affected swashplates. Accordingly, EASA AD 2019-0074 retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2017-0191R2 and adds a life limit and a
reporting requirement.
    Additionally, when the FAA issued AD 2018-08-01 to address the
unsafe condition of a crack in a swashplate yoke, the FAA did not
require stripping certain yokes and performing a one-time inspection
within 100 hours TIS for corrosion and a crack as specified in EASA AD
2017-0191R2, as there was sufficient time to allow for notice and
comment prior to this long-term AD requirement going into effect. The
FAA has determined that this inspection is needed to address this
unsafe condition. Accordingly, the NPRM also proposed to require,
within 100 hours TIS and for certain yokes, removing the grease and
stripping certain areas of the yokes and inspecting these areas for
corrosion, pitting, loss of material, and a crack.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this AD. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all of the known relevant information and determining that
an unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters
of the same type design and that air safety and the public interest
require adopting the AD requirements as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires performing a non-destructive inspection only
if there is doubt whether there is a crack. Instead, this AD requires a
visual inspection and if there are no cracks, requires a non-
destructive inspection. The EASA AD specifies instructions for
reporting inspection reports; this AD does not.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed one document that co-publishes two Airbus
Helicopters EASB identification numbers: EASB No. 05A051 for Model
EC225LP helicopters and EASB No. 05A046 for non-FAA type-certificated
Model EC725AP helicopters, each Revision 2 and dated February 26, 2019
(EASB 05A051 and EASB 05A046). EASB 05A051 is incorporated by reference
in this AD. EASB 05A046 is not incorporated by reference in this AD.
    This service information specifies inspections for swashplate P/N
332A31-3074-00 and P/N 332A31-3074-01. This service information
specifies procedures for a repetitive inspection of the yokes for a
crack and a one-time inspection of the stripped yokes for corrosion and
a crack. If in doubt about whether there is a crack, this service
information specifies performing a non-destructive inspection. This
service information also specifies touching up the swashplate with
varnish if there is corrosion, removing any damage within allowable
limits, and refinishing the yokes. If there is a crack in a yoke, this
service information specifies replacing the swashplate. This service
information also specifies a life limit of 12 years since the date of
manufacture for the swashplates and reporting requirements if a crack
or corrosion is discovered.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed one document that co-publishes two Airbus
Helicopters EASB identification numbers: EASB No. 05A051 for Model
EC225LP helicopters and EASB No. 05A046 for non-FAA type-certificated
Model EC725AP helicopters, each Revision 1 and dated November 16, 2017.
Revision 1 of this service information specifies the same inspections
as Revision 2 of this service information. However, Revision 2 of this
service information clarifies some of the inspection instructions and
adds a life limit and a reporting requirement.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 26 helicopters of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this AD. Labor rates are estimated at $85
per work-hour.
    Determining the date of manufacture of the swashplate takes about
0.5 work-hour for an estimated cost of $43 per helicopter and $1,118
for the U.S. fleet.
    Inspecting the yokes takes about 0.25 work-hour for an estimated
cost of $21 per helicopter and $546 for the U.S. fleet per inspection
cycle.
    Removing grease, stripping the yokes, and inspecting the stripped
yokes takes about 8 work-hours, for a total estimated cost of $680 per
helicopter.
    Dye-penetrant inspecting a yoke for a crack takes about 6 work-
hours and parts cost about $50, for an estimated cost of $560 per yoke.
    Removing any corrosion or repairing damage within the allowable
limit takes about 3 work-hours, for an estimated cost of $255 per yoke.
    Replacing the swashplate takes about 6 work-hours, and parts cost
about $85,661 for an estimated cost of $86,171 per instance.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of a Proposed Rule Change
To Amend The Nasdaq Options Market LLC (``NOM'') Pricing at Options 7

August 28, 2019.
    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 August 22, 2019, The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC

(``Nasdaq'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I and II, below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \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

    The Exchange proposes to amend The Nasdaq Options Market LLC
(``NOM'') pricing at Options 7, Section 3 titled ``Nasdaq Options
Market--Ports and Other Services.'' The amendment will describe the
pricing with respect to an upcoming technology infrastructure
migration.
    While the changes proposed herein are effective upon filing, the
Exchange has designated the amendments become operative on September 3,
2019.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com, at the principal office of
the Exchange, 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 NOM pricing at Options 7, Section 3
titled ``Nasdaq Options Market--Ports and Other Services.'' The
Exchange previously filed a fee proposal to not assess a fee for
duplicative FIX Ports,\3\ CTI Ports \4\ and FIX DROP Ports \5\ to new
FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports, during the month of August
2019, in connection with an upcoming technology infrastructure
migration.\6\ With this rule change, the Exchange proposes to not
assess a fee for duplicative FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports to
new FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports, during the month of
September 2019 to allow additional time for the Exchange to migrate its
technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Financial Information eXchange'' or '' FIX'' is an interface
that allows Participants and their Sponsored Customers to connect,
send, and receive messages related to orders to and from the
Exchange. Features include the following: (1) Execution messages;
(2) order messages; and (3) risk protection triggers and cancel
notifications. See Chapter VI, Section 21(a)(i)(A).
    \4\ Clearing Trade Interface (``CTI'') is a real-time clearing
trade update message that is sent to a Participant after an
execution has occurred and contains trade details specific to that
Participant. The information includes, among other things, the
following: (i) The Clearing Member Trade Agreement or ``CMTA'' or
The Options Clearing Corporation or ``OCC'' number; (ii) Exchange
badge or house number; (iii) the Exchange internal firm identifier;
(iv) an indicator which will distinguish electronic and non-
electronically delivered orders; (v) liquidity indicators and
transaction type for billing purposes; and (vi) capacity. See
Chapter VI, Section 19(b)(1).
    \5\ FIX DROP is a real-time order and execution update message
that is sent to a Participant after an order been received/modified
or an execution has occurred and contains trade details specific to
that Participant. The information includes, among other things, the
following: (i) Executions; (ii) cancellations; (iii) modifications
to an existing order; and (iv) busts or post-trade corrections. See
Chapter VI, Section 19(b)(3).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 86507 (July 29,
2019), 84 FR 37934 (August 2, 2019) (SR-NASDAQ-2019-056).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Description of Migration and Pricing Impact
    In connection with this migration, Participants may request new FIX
Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports during the month of September 2019,
which are duplicative of the type and quantity of their current ports,
at no additional cost to allow for testing of the new ports and allow
for continuous connection to the match engine during the transition
period.\7\ For example, a NOM Participant with 3 FIX Ports, 1 CTI Port
and 1 FIX DROP Port on September 3, 2019 could request 3 new FIX Ports,
1 CTI Port and 1 FIX DROP Port for the month of September 2019 at no
additional cost. The NOM Participant would be assessed only for the
legacy market ports, in this case 3 FIX Ports, 1 CTI Port and 1 FIX
DROP Port, for the month of September 2019 and would not be assessed
for the new ports, which are duplicative of the current ports. A
Participant may acquire any additional legacy ports during the month of
September 2019 and would be assessed the charges indicated in the
current Pricing Schedule. The migration does not require a Participant
to acquire any additional ports, rather the migration requires a new
port to replace any existing ports provided the Participant desired to
maintain the same number of ports.\8\ A Participant desiring to enter
orders into NOM is required to obtain 1 FIX Port. A Participant may
also obtain order and execution ports, such as a CTI Port and/or a FIX
DROP Port, to receive clearing and execution messages. The number of
additional FIX or order and execution ports obtained by a Participant
is dependent on the Participant's business needs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Participants would contact Market Operations to acquire new
duplicative FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports. See Options
Technical Update #2019-3.
    \8\ The migration is 1:1 and therefore would not require a
Participant to acquire new ports, nor would it reduce the number of
ports needed to connect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Applicability to and Impact on Participants \9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ On May 21, 2019, the SEC Division of Trading and Markets
(the ``Division'') issued fee filing guidance titled ``Staff
Guidance on SRO Rule Filings Relating to Fees'' (``Guidance'').
Within the Guidance, the Division noted, among other things, that
the purpose discussion should address ``how the fee may apply
differently (e.g., additional cost vs. additional discount) to
different types of market participants (e.g., market makers,
institutional brokers, retail brokers, vendors, etc.) and different
sizes of market participants.'' See Guidance (available at https://www.sec.gov/tm/staff-guidance-sro-rule-filings-fees). The Guidance
also suggests that the purpose discussion should include numerical
examples. Where possible, the Exchange is including numerical
examples. In addition, the Exchange is providing data to the
Commission in support of its arguments herein. The Guidance covers
all aspects of a fee filing, which the Exchange has addressed
throughout this filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposal is not intended to impose any additional fees on any
NOM Participants. All Participants may enter orders on NOM. As noted
above, a NOM Participant may enter all orders on NOM through one FIX
Port. The Exchange does not require a NOM Participant to obtain more
than one FIX Port, however, a Participant may obtain multiple FIX
Ports, a CTI Port or a FIX DROP Port to meet its individual business
needs. This proposal is intended to permit a NOM Participant to migrate
its current FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports at no additional
costs during the month of September 2019 to allow for continuous
connection to the Exchange. Participants would only be assessed a fee
for their current FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX DROP Ports and not be
assessed a fee for any new duplicative ports they acquire in connection
with the technology infrastructure migration. This proposal is not
intended to have a pricing impact.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal is consistent with Section
6(b)

of the Act,\10\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ in particular, in that it provides
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among members and issuers and other persons using any facility, and is
not designed to permit unfair discrimination between customers,
issuers, brokers, or dealers. The proposal is also consistent with
Section 11A of the Act relating to the establishment of the national
market system for securities. Moreover, the Exchange believes that its
proposal complies with Commission guidance on SRO fee filings that the
Commission Staff issued on May 21, 2019.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
    \12\ See Guidance, supra note 8. Although the Exchange believes
that this filing complies with the Guidance, the Exchange does not
concede that the standards set forth in the Guidance are consistent
with the Exchange Act and reserves its right to challenge those
standards through administrative and judicial review, as
appropriate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Proposal is Reasonable
    The Exchange's proposal is reasonable in several respects. As a
threshold matter, the Exchange is subject to significant competitive
forces in the market for options transaction services that constrain
its pricing determinations in that market. The fact that this market is
competitive has long been recognized by the courts. In NetCoalition v.
Securities and Exchange Commission, the D.C. Circuit stated as follows:
``[n]o one disputes that competition for order flow is `fierce.' . . .
As the SEC explained, `[i]n the U.S. national market system, buyers and
sellers of securities, and the broker-dealers that act as their order-
routing agents, have a wide range of choices of where to route orders
for execution'; [and] `no exchange can afford to take its market share
percentages for granted' because `no exchange possesses a monopoly,
regulatory or otherwise, in the execution of order flow from broker
dealers'. . . .'' \13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ NetCoalition v. SEC, 615 F.3d 525, 539 (D.C. Cir. 2010)
(quoting Securities Exchange Act Release No. 59039 (December 2,
2008), 73 FR 74770, 74782-83 (December 9, 2008) (SR-NYSEArca-2006-
21)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Numerous indicia demonstrate the competitive nature of this market.
For example, clear substitutes to the Exchange exist in the market for
options transaction services. The Exchange is one of several options
venues to which market participants may direct their order flow, and it
represents a small percentage of the overall market. The Exchange
believes its proposal is reasonable because it will not cause a pricing
impact on any NOM Participant, rather the proposal is intended to
permit NOM Participants to migrate their FIX Ports, CTI Ports and FIX
DROP Ports to new technology at no additional cost during the month of
September 2019. This proposal, which offers new duplicative ports to
Participants at no cost, will allow Participants to test and maintain
continuous connection to the Exchange during the month of September
2019.
The Proposal Represents an Equitable Allocation and is Not Unfairly
Discriminatory
    The Exchange believes its proposal allocates its fees fairly among
its market participants. The proposal is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory. All Participants may enter orders on NOM. As noted
above, a NOM Participant may enter all orders on NOM through one FIX
Port. The Exchange does not require a NOM Participant to obtain more
than one FIX Port, however, a Participant may obtain multiple FIX
Ports, a CTI Port or a FIX DROP Port to meet its individual business
needs. This proposal is not intended to have a pricing impact to any
NOM Participant.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
Inter-Market Competition
    The proposal does not impose an undue burden on inter-market
competition. This proposal does not amend pricing or functionality.
Rather, this technology migration will enable NOM Participants to
continue to connect to NOM, as is the case today, for the entry of
orders.
Intra-Market Competition
    The proposal does not impose an undue burden on intra-market
competition. All Participants may enter orders on NOM. As noted above,
a NOM Participant may enter all orders on NOM through one FIX Port. The
Exchange does not require a NOM Participant to obtain more than one FIX
Port, however, a Participant may obtain multiple FIX Ports, a CTI Port
or a FIX DROP Port to meet its individual business needs. This proposal
is not intended to have a pricing impact to any NOM Participant.

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

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

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

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) 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 should be approved or disapproved.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31500; Amdt. No. 4072]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends, suspends, or removes Standard Instrument
Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports. These
regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or revised
criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National Airspace
System, such as the commissioning of new navigational facilities,
adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements. These
changes are designed to provide for the safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective July 28, 2023. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of July 28, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE, West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001;
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Information Services, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).
    For information on the availability of this material at NARA, email
[email protected] or go to: https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center online at nfdc.faa.gov
to register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

and Airspace Group, Flight Technologies and Procedures Division, Flight
Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration. Mailing Address:
FAA Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, Flight Procedures and Airspace
Group, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., STB Annex, Bldg 26, Room 217,
Oklahoma City, OK 73099. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends 14 CFR part 97 by amending
the referenced SIAPs. The complete regulatory description of each SIAP
is listed on the appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National
Flight Data Center (NFDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is
incorporated by reference under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14
CFR 97.20. The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the
need for a special format make their verbatim publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction
on charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the
advantages of incorporation by reference are realized and publication
of the complete description of each SIAP contained on FAA form
documents is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections, and specifies the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with
their applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the
airport and its location, the procedure and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs as identified in the amendatory language for Part 97
of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as amended in the
transmittal. For safety and timeliness of change considerations, this
amendment incorporates only specific changes contained for each SIAP
and Takeoff Minimums and ODP as modified by FDC permanent NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, as modified by FDC
permanent NOTAM, and contained in this amendment are based on criteria
contained in the U.S. Standard for Terminal Instrument Procedures
(TERPS). In developing these changes to SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for these SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments require making them effective in less than
30 days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these
SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find
that notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest and, where
applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d), good cause exists for making these
SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034;

February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. For the
same reason, the FAA certifies that this amendment will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Washington, DC 20004

Dear Mr. Gulliford:

	I am writing to thank you and EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs
staff for meeting with the National Cotton Council (NCC), Mr. Bowen
Flowers from the NCC’s Environmental Task Force, and Dr. Alan York
from N.C. State University to discuss emergent issues in MSMA herbicide
use in cotton production.  We continually appreciate your Agency’s
receptiveness to submission of additional data to contribute to its risk
and benefits assessments.

	As we touched on in our meeting, NCC is pleased to accommodate a field
trip for your office, and any staff you would like to include, in order
to see first-hand what growers and extension agents alike are most
concerned about in managing herbicide resistant weeds.  Cotton is
typically planted in the Southeast as early as April, depending on
climatic and soil conditions of course.  We are happy to assist you in
planning a tour in a timely and convenient manner.

    Once again, the NCC appreciates being able to meet with you on this
important issue to cotton production. Please do not hesitate to contact
us for any additional information.

Sincerely,

Angus R. Kelly

National Cotton Council of America

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

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) has received a request for temporary 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, and the nature of the relief being requested.

Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation

[Docket Number FRA-2008-0057]

    The Northeast Illinois Regional Commuter Railroad Corporation
(Metra) has submitted a temporary waiver petition to support field
testing of its processor-based train control system, identified as
Electronic Train Management System (ETMS), pursuant to 49 CFR Sections
211.7 and 211.51.
    An informational filing, as required under 49 CFR Part 236, Subpart
H, has also been prepared and submitted in conjunction with this waiver
petition, and can be found in the same docket as this waiver petition
(FRA-2008-0057).
    ETMS is a locomotive-centric, non-vital system, designed to be
overlaid on

existing methods of operation and to provide an improved level of
railroad safety through enforcement of a train's authority limits and
both permanent and temporary speed restrictions. Metra desires to
commence field testing on or about July 1, 2008, or as soon as
practicable thereafter, contingent upon FRA's acceptance and approval
of the associated informational filing and this waiver petition. Metra
intends to test and develop ETMS on its Rock Island District between
Chicago, IL, and Joliet, IL.
    Metra is seeking regulatory relief for development testing and
demonstration purposes only. Specifically, Metra is requesting
regulatory relief from the following FRA requirements:
     49 CFR 216.13 (Special Notice for Repairs--Locomotive);
     49 CFR 217.9 (Program of Operational Tests and
Inspections--Recordkeeping);
     49 CFR 217.11 (Program of Instruction on Operating Rules--
Recordkeeping, Electronic Recordkeeping);
     49 CFR Part 218, Subpart D (Prohibition against Tampering
with Safety Devices);
     49 CFR 229.7 (Prohibited Acts);
     49 CFR 229.135 (Event Recorders);
     49 CFR 233.9 (Reports);
     49 CFR 235.5 (Changes Requiring Filing of Application);
     49 CFR 240.127 (Criteria for Examining Skill Performance);
and
     49 CFR 240.129 (Criteria for Monitoring Operational
Performance of Certified Engineers).
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. All communications
