DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2017-D-3101]

Abbreviated New Drug Applications: Pre-Submission of Facility
Information Related to Prioritized Generic Drug Applications (Pre-
Submission Facility Correspondence); Draft Guidance for Industry;
Availability

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing
the availability of a revised draft guidance for industry entitled
``ANDAs: Pre-Submission of Facility Information Related to Prioritized
Generic Drug Applications (Pre-Submission Facility Correspondence).''
FDA is revising the draft guidance because, after issuance of the
original draft guidance, the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the
FD&C Act) was amended by the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017, which
resulted in changes to the pre-submission of facility information. Pre-
submitting facility information enables the Agency to determine whether
inspection of a facility is necessary and, if so, to begin inspection
planning in advance of an abbreviated new drug application (ANDA)
receipt.

DATES: Submit either electronic or written comments on the draft
guidance by February 5, 2018 to ensure that the Agency considers your
comment on this draft guidance before it begins work on the final
version of the guidance. Submit either electronic or written comments
concerning the collection of information proposed in the draft guidance
by January 5, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on any guidance at any time as
follows:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a revised draft guidance for
industry entitled ``ANDAs: Pre-Submission of Facility Information
Related to Prioritized Generic Drug Applications (Pre-Submission
Facility Correspondence).'' The first draft of this document, entitled
``ANDAs: Pre-Submission Facility Correspondence Associated with
Priority Submissions,'' was issued pursuant to 21 CFR 10.115 in June
2017. The docket number has not changed since the first draft of this
document was issued, and it is not necessary to resubmit comments
already submitted to the docket. The Agency will consider comments
submitted with respect to the first draft of this document in
finalizing the revised document.
    The Agency is issuing this revised draft guidance to describe the
process through which prospective generic drug applicants submit
facility information in advance of an original ANDA, prior approval
supplement (PAS), PAS amendment, or ANDA amendment (hereafter
collectively referred to as ANDA). FDA is revising the draft guidance
because, after issuance of the original draft guidance, section
505(j)(11) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(11)) as added by section
801 of the FDA Reauthorization Act of 2017 (FDARA) resulted in changes
to the pre-submission of facility information.
    In 2016 and 2017, FDA, regulated industry, and public stakeholders
conducted negotiations concerning reauthorization of the Generic Drug
User Fee Amendments (GDUFA II). A chief product of these
congressionally mandated discussions was the ``GDUFA Reauthorization
Performance Goals and Program Enhancements, FYs 2018-2022'' (GDUFA II
Commitment Letter) available at: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustry/UserFees/GenericDrugUserFees/UCM282505.pdf. Together, the
Generic Drug User Fee Amendments of 2017 and the GDUFA II Commitment
Letter describe FDA's performance goals, as well as changes and
improvements to the user fee program.
    On August 18, 2017, FDARA, which reauthorized the Generic Drug User
Fee Amendments (Title III) as well as other provisions related to
generic drugs (Title VIII), was signed into law. In particular, section
801 of the FDARA added section 505(j)(11) to the FD&C Act to address
priority review of generic drugs. One of the enhancements specified in
both Title VIII, section 801 of FDARA, and the GDUFA II Commitment
Letter is a mechanism to enable a shorter review goal (priority review
goal) for certain priority original ANDAs, PASs, PAS amendments, and
ANDA amendments through the pre-submission of facility information,
including sections of the ANDA determined to be relevant by FDA.
Specifically, this guidance describes:
     The content and format of the facility information that
should be submitted to enable FDA's assessment of facilities listed in
the pre-submission.

     Timeframes for pre-submitting sections of the ANDA
containing complete, accurate information, and the intersection of
these timeframes with submission of the ANDA.
     The possible outcomes of the Agency's assessment of pre-
submitted ANDA sections containing facility information.
     When and how the Agency notifies an applicant about the
status of the pre-submitted ANDA sections containing facility
information.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ANDAs: Pre-
Submission of Facility Information Related to Prioritized Generic Drug
Applications (Pre-Submission Facility Correspondence). It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance
is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (the PRA) (44 U.S.C.
3501-3520), Federal Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information they
conduct or sponsor. ``Collection of information'' is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR 1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or
requirements that members of the public submit reports, keep records,
or provide information to a third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the
PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)) requires Federal Agencies to provide a
60-day notice in the Federal Register concerning each proposed
collection of information before submitting the collection to OMB for
approval. To comply with this requirement, FDA is publishing the
proposed collection of information set forth in this notice of
availability that would result from the pre-submission of facility
information.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comment on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's functions,
including whether the information will have practical utility; (2) the
accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on respondents, including through the use of
automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other forms of
information technology.
    Title: Draft Guidance for Industry on ANDAs: Pre-Submission of
Facility Information Related to Prioritized Generic Drug Applications
(Pre-Submission Facility Correspondence).
    Description: As described in the draft guidance, section 505(j)(11)
of the FD&C Act was added by section 801 of FDARA. Pre-submitting
facility information enables the Agency to determine whether inspection
of a facility is necessary and, if so, to begin inspection planning in
advance of ANDA receipt.
    This draft guidance document refers to previously approved
collections of information found in FDA regulations. These collections
of information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. Existing
regulations at 21 CFR 314.94 provide the content and format of an ANDA,
and consistent with GDUFA II, this draft guidance describes the
relevant sections of an ANDA that should be submitted as part of the
pre-submission of facility information. The information collections
associated with the submission of these ANDA sections are approved
under OMB control number 0910-0001.
    There are information collections proposed in the draft guidance
that are not already addressed under the approved control numbers
covering ANDA submissions. Section IV of the draft guidance describes
the information that should be included in the pre-submission of
facility information to enable FDA's facility assessment:
    A. The planned ANDA pre-assigned number to be submitted with the
pre-submission, which the applicant must request from FDA before
submitting the pre-submission;
    B. Cover letter accompanying the pre-submission, which includes a
statement of justification for the expedited review request, a
statement of inspection readiness, a statement identifying the
Reference Listed Drug, and the anticipated date of the applicant's ANDA
submission; and
    C. Certification statement to be submitted with the applicant's
ANDA stating either that the applicant has made no changes to the pre-
submitted facility information, or that the only change was made to
exclude a facility as described in 505(j)(11)(B) of the FD&C Act.
(Changes other than those permitted under 505(j)(11)(B) of the FD&C Act
should be identified in the ANDA cover letter. The applicant will also
need to confirm the accuracy of the information provided in the Form
FDA 356h submitted with the ANDA, and update accordingly.)
    Section VI of the draft guidance describes the format used to
submit the pre-submission of facility information, which is the
electronic Common Technical Document (eCTD) format. Further, as
explained in section V of the draft guidance, the pre-submission must
be submitted not later than 60 days prior to the planned ANDA
submission.
    We estimate that a total of approximately 220 applicants (``number
of respondents'' in table 1) will submit annually approximately 275
pre-submissions as described above and in the draft guidance (``total
annual responses'' in table 1). We estimate that preparing and
submitting the portion of each pre-submission that is not already
addressed under approved control numbers covering ANDA submissions will
take approximately 1.1 hours (``average burden per response'' in table
1). This includes time spent preparing and submitting a cover letter
accompanying the pre-submission of facility information. We estimate
that approximately 10 percent of applicants will submit statements
notifying the Agency that the applicant has decided not to submit an
ANDA, and we have incorporated the estimated time to prepare and submit
such a statement in table 1.
    We estimate that approximately 198 applicants will submit annually
approximately 248 certifications (``total annual responses'' in table
1) verifying either that the applicant has made no changes to the pre-
submitted facility information, or that the only change was made to
exclude a facility as described in 505(j)(11)(B) of the FD&C Act. We
estimate that preparing and submitting each certification will take
approximately 4 hours (``average burden per response'' in table 1).
    We base our estimates for the number of applicants and the number
of pre-submissions on information from our database of annual ANDA
submissions, on the criteria set forth in the Agency's Manual of
Policies and Procedures 5240.3, Prioritization of the Review of
Original ANDAs, Amendments, and Supplements (available at: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/AboutFDA/CentersOffices/OfficeofMedicalProductsandTobacco/CDER/ManualofPoliciesProcedures/UCM407849.pdf), and the number of ``priority'' submissions. Our
estimate of the time applicants would need to prepare and submit the
portions of each pre-submission not already addressed under approved
control numbers covering

ANDA submissions, as well as the pre-submission certification statement
(referenced in table 1), takes into consideration that much of this
content is related to information already gathered for the ANDA
submission. We invite comments on these estimates.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-381, OMB Control No. 3235-0434]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE,
Washington, DC 20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 15g-2

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information provided for in Rule 15g-2 (17 CFR 240.15g-2)
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.)
(``Exchange Act''). Rule 15g-2 (The ``Penny Stock Disclosure Rule'')
requires broker-dealers to provide their customers with a risk
disclosure document, as set forth in Schedule 15G, prior to their first
non-exempt transaction in a ``penny stock.'' As amended, the rule
requires broker-dealers to obtain written acknowledgement from the
customer that he or she has received the required risk disclosure
document. The amended rule also requires broker-dealers to maintain a
copy of the customer's written acknowledgement for at least three years
following the date on which the risk disclosure document was provided
to the customer, the first two years in an accessible place. Rule 15g-2
also requires a broker-dealer, upon request of a customer, to furnish
the customer with a copy of certain information set forth on the
Commission's website.
    The risk disclosure documents are for the benefit of the customers,
to assure that they are aware of the risks of trading in ``penny
stocks'' before they enter into a transaction. The risk disclosure
documents are maintained by the broker-dealers and may be reviewed
during the course of an examination by the Commission.
    The Commission estimates that approximately 182 broker-dealers are
engaged in penny stock transactions and that each of these firms
processes an average of three new customers for penny stocks per week.
The Commission further estimates that half of the broker-dealers send
the penny stock disclosure documents by mail, and the other half send
them through electronic means such as email. Because the Commission
estimates the copying and mailing of the penny stock disclosure
document takes two minutes, this means that there is an annual burden
of 28,392 minutes, or 473 hours, for this third-party disclosure burden
of mailing documents. Additionally, because the Commission estimates
that sending the penny stock disclosure document electronically takes
one minute, the annual burden is 14,196 minutes, or 237 hours, for this
third-party disclosure burden of emailing documents.
    Broker-dealers also incur a recordkeeping burden of approximately
two minutes per response when filing the completed penny stock
disclosure documents as required pursuant to the Rule 15g-2(c), which
means that the respondents incur an aggregate recordkeeping burden of
56,784 minutes, or 946 hours.
    Furthermore, Rule 15g-2(d) requires a broker-dealer, upon request
of a customer, to furnish the customer with a copy of certain
information set forth on the Commission's website, which takes a
respondent no more than two minutes per customer. Because the
Commission estimates that a quarter of customers who are required to
receive the Rule 15g-2 disclosure document will request that their
broker-dealer provide them with the additional microcap and penny stock
information posted on the Commission's website, the Commission
therefore estimates that each broker-dealer respondent processes
approximately 39 requests for paper copies of this information per year
or an aggregate total of 78 minutes per respondent, which amounts to an
annual burden of 14,196 minutes, or 237 hours.
    The Commission does not maintain the risk disclosure document.
Instead, it must be retained by the broker-dealer for at least three
years following the date on which the risk disclosure document was
provided to the customer, the first two years in an accessible place.
The collection of information required by the rule is mandatory. The
risk disclosure document is otherwise governed by the internal policies
of the broker-dealer regarding confidentiality, etc.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice

Action:  Approved.			   			                    Action date:  December
18, 2000

Effective dates of authority granted:  December 18, 2000, through
December 18, 2001.

Basis for approval (bilateral agreement/reciprocity):  United
States-Mexico Air Transport Services Agreement of August 15, 1960, as
amended and extended (Agreement).

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to the
terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:  Standard exemption
conditions.

Special conditions/Partial grant/Denial basis/Remarks:  We find that the
carrier is operationally and financially qualified to conduct the
operations it proposes and that it is substantially owned and
effectively controlled by citizens of Mexico.  In the conduct of these
operations, the carrier may only use aircraft capable of carrying no
more than 60 passengers and having a maximum payload capacity of no more
than 18,000 pounds (small equipment).  The above grant includes
authority to conduct Third and Fourth Freedom charter operations.  While
we have subjected, consistent with the provisions of the Agreement,
Mexican carriers conducting charter operations with large aircraft to
prior approval of their Third and Fourth Freedom charters (see Order
92-2-7 at 5), we determined that a Third/Fourth Freedom prior-approval
requirement was not necessary on public interest grounds in the case of
this carrier, since it will be conducting these operations solely with
small aircraft.  (Other charter operations to/from the United States
under this authority, however, are subject to prior approval under 14
CFR Part 212.)

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director, Office of International
Aviation

________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted/deferred/dismissed, we denied all requests in
the referenced Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority
granted in this Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within ten (10) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


(B) The ice accumulated during the transit at 2,000 feet above
the landing surface of one cloud with a horizontal extent of 17.4
nautical miles in the most critical of the icing conditions defined
in part I of this appendix and one cloud with a horizontal extent of
17.4 nautical miles in the continuous

maximum icing conditions defined in appendix C of this part.
    (ii) For an airplane certified in accordance with Sec.
25.1420(a)(1), the ice accumulated during descent from the maximum
vertical extent of the maximum continuous icing conditions defined
in part I of appendix C to 2,000 feet above the landing surface in
the cruise configuration, plus transition to the approach
configuration, plus:
    (A) Pre-detection ice, as defined by part II, paragraph (b)(5)
of this appendix; and
    (B) The ice accumulated during the transit at 2,000 feet above
the landing surface of one cloud with a horizontal extent of 17.4
nautical miles in the most critical of the icing conditions defined
in part I of this appendix and one cloud with a horizontal extent of
17.4 nautical miles in the continuous maximum icing conditions
defined in appendix C of this part.
    (4) Landing ice is the more critical of the holding ice as
defined by part II, paragraph (b)(2) of this appendix, or the ice
calculated in the applicable paragraph (b)(4)(i) or (ii) of part II
of this appendix:
    (i) For an airplane certified in accordance with Sec.
25.1420(a)(2), the ice accretion defined by part II, paragraph
(c)(5)(i) of this appendix, plus a descent from 2,000 feet above the
landing surface to a height of 200 feet above the landing surface
with a transition to the landing configuration in the icing
conditions defined in part I of this appendix, plus:
    (A) Pre-detection ice, as defined in part II, paragraph (b)(5)
of this appendix; and
    (B) The ice accumulated during an exit maneuver, beginning with
the minimum climb gradient required by Sec.  25.119, from a height
of 200 feet above the landing surface through one cloud with a
horizontal extent of 17.4 nautical miles in the most critical of the
icing conditions defined in part I of this appendix and one cloud
with a horizontal extent of 17.4 nautical miles in the continuous
maximum icing conditions defined in appendix C of this part.
    (ii) For an airplane certified in accordance with Sec.
25.1420(a)(1), the ice accumulated in the maximum continuous icing
conditions defined in appendix C of this part, during a descent from
the maximum vertical extent of the icing conditions defined in
appendix C of this part, to 2,000 feet above the landing surface in
the cruise configuration, plus transition to the approach
configuration and flying for 15 minutes at 2,000 feet above the
landing surface, plus a descent from 2,000 feet above the landing
surface to a height of 200 feet above the landing surface with a
transition to the landing configuration, plus:
    (A) Pre-detection ice, as described by part II, paragraph (b)(5)
of this appendix; and
    (B) The ice accumulated during an exit maneuver, beginning with
the minimum climb gradient required by Sec.  25.119, from a height
of 200 feet above the landing surface through one cloud with a
horizontal extent of 17.4 nautical miles in the most critical of the
icing conditions defined in part I of this appendix and one cloud
with a horizontal extent of 17.4 nautical miles in the continuous
maximum icing conditions defined in appendix C of this part.
    (5) Pre-detection ice is the ice accretion before detection of
appendix O conditions that require exiting per Sec.  25.1420(a)(1)
and (a)(2). It is the pre-existing ice accretion that may exist from
operating in icing conditions in which the airplane is approved to
operate prior to encountering the icing conditions requiring an
exit, plus the ice accumulated during the time needed to detect the
icing conditions, followed by two minutes of further ice
accumulation to take into account the time for the flight crew to
take action to exit the icing conditions, including coordination
with air traffic control.
    (i) For an airplane certified in accordance with Sec.
25.1420(a)(1), the pre-existing ice accretion must be based on the
icing conditions defined in appendix C of this part.
    (ii) For an airplane certified in accordance with Sec.
25.1420(a)(2), the pre-existing ice accretion must be based on the
more critical of the icing conditions defined in appendix C of this
part, or the icing conditions defined in part I of this appendix in
which the airplane is capable of safely operating. The pre-detection
ice accretion applies in showing compliance with Sec. Sec.
25.143(k) and 25.207(k), and as part of the ice accretion
definitions of part II, paragraph (b)(1) through (b)(4) of this
appendix.
    (c) Ice accretions for airplanes certified in accordance with
Sec. Sec.  25.1420(a)(2) or 25.1420(a)(3). For an airplane certified
in accordance with Sec.  25.1420(a)(2), only the portion of the
icing conditions of part I of this appendix in which the airplane is
capable of operating safely must be considered.
    (1) Takeoff ice is the most critical ice accretion on
unprotected surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected
surfaces appropriate to normal ice protection system operation,
occurring between liftoff and 400 feet above the takeoff surface,
assuming accretion starts at liftoff in the icing conditions defined
in part I of this appendix.
    (2) Final takeoff ice is the most critical ice accretion on
unprotected surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected
surfaces appropriate to normal ice protection system operation,
between 400 feet and either 1,500 feet above the takeoff surface, or
the height at which the transition from the takeoff to the en route
configuration is completed and VFTO is reached, whichever
is higher. Ice accretion is assumed to start at liftoff in the icing
conditions defined in part I of this appendix.
    (3) En route ice is the most critical ice accretion on the
unprotected surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected
surfaces appropriate to normal ice protection system operation,
during the en route flight phase in the icing conditions defined in
part I of this appendix.
    (4) Holding ice is the most critical ice accretion on the
unprotected surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected
surfaces appropriate to normal ice protection system operation,
resulting from 45 minutes of flight within a cloud with a 17.4
nautical miles horizontal extent in the icing conditions defined in
part I of this appendix, during the holding phase of flight.
    (5) Approach ice is the ice accretion on the unprotected
surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected surfaces
appropriate to normal ice protection system operation, resulting
from the more critical of the:
    (i) Ice accumulated in the icing conditions defined in part I of
this appendix during a descent from the maximum vertical extent of
the icing conditions defined in part I of this appendix, to 2,000
feet above the landing surface in the cruise configuration, plus
transition to the approach configuration and flying for 15 minutes
at 2,000 feet above the landing surface; or
    (ii) Holding ice as defined by part II, paragraph (c)(4) of this
appendix.
    (6) Landing ice is the ice accretion on the unprotected
surfaces, and any ice accretion on the protected surfaces
appropriate to normal ice protection system operation, resulting
from the more critical of the:
    (i) Ice accretion defined by part II, paragraph (c)(5)(i), of
this appendix, plus ice accumulated in the icing conditions defined
in part I of this appendix during a descent from 2,000 feet above
the landing surface to a height of 200 feet above the landing
surface with a transition to the landing configuration, followed by
a go-around at the minimum climb gradient required by Sec.  25.119,
from a height of 200 feet above the landing surface to 2,000 feet
above the landing surface, flying for 15 minutes at 2,000 feet above
the landing surface in the approach configuration, and a descent to
the landing surface (touchdown) in the landing configuration; or
    (ii) Holding ice as defined by part II paragraph (c)(4) of this
appendix.
    (7) For both unprotected and protected parts, the ice accretion
for the takeoff phase must be determined for the icing conditions
defined in part I of this appendix, using the following assumptions:
    (i) The airfoils, control surfaces, and, if applicable,
propellers are free from frost, snow, or ice at the start of
takeoff;
    (ii) The ice accretion begins at liftoff;
    (iii) The critical ratio of thrust/power-to-weight;
    (iv) Failure of the critical engine occurs at VEF;
and
    (v) Crew activation of the ice protection system is in
accordance with a normal operating procedure provided in the
Airplane Flight Manual, except that after beginning the takeoff
roll, it must be assumed that the crew takes no action to activate
the ice protection system until the airplane is at least 400 feet
above the takeoff surface.
    (d) The ice accretion before the ice protection system has been
activated and is performing its intended function is the critical
ice accretion formed on the unprotected and normally protected
surfaces before activation and effective operation of the ice
protection system in the icing conditions defined in part I of this
appendix. This ice accretion only applies in showing compliance to
Sec. Sec.  25.143(j) and 25.207(h).
    (e) In order to reduce the number of ice accretions to be
considered when demonstrating compliance with the requirements of
Sec.  25.21(g), any of the ice accretions defined in this appendix
may be used for any other flight phase if it is shown to be more
critical than the specific ice accretion defined for that flight
phase. Configuration differences and their effects on ice accretions
must be taken into account.
    (f) The ice accretion that has the most adverse effect on
handling qualities may be

used for airplane performance tests provided any difference in
performance is conservatively taken into account.

PART 33--AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: AIRCRAFT ENGINES

    24. The authority citation for part 33 continues to read as
follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

    25. Revise Sec.  33.68 to read as follows:

Sec.  33.68  Induction system icing.

    Each engine, with all icing protection systems operating, must:
    (a) Operate throughout its flight power range, including the
minimum descent idle rotor speeds achievable in flight, in the icing
conditions defined in appendices C and O of part 25 of this chapter,
and appendix D of this part 33, without the accumulation of ice on the
engine components that:
    (1) Adversely affects engine operation or that causes an
unacceptable permanent loss of power or thrust or unacceptable increase
in engine operating temperature; or
    (2) Results in unacceptable temporary power loss or engine damage;
or
    (3) Causes a stall, surge, or flameout or loss of engine
controllability (for example, rollback). The applicant must account for
in-flight ram effects (for example; scoop factor amplification, water
temperature, air density) in any critical point analysis or test
demonstration of these flight conditions.
    (b) Operate throughout its flight power range, including minimum
descent idle rotor speeds achievable in flight, in the icing conditions
defined in appendices C and O of part 25 of this chapter. In addition,
    (1) It must be shown through Critical Point Analysis (CPA) that the
complete ice envelope has been analyzed, and that the most critical
points must be demonstrated by engine test, analysis or a combination
of the two to operate acceptably. Extended flight in critical flight
conditions such as hold, descent, approach, climb, and cruise, must be
addressed, for the ice conditions defined in these appendices.
    (2) It must be shown by engine test, analysis or a combination of
the two that the engine can operate acceptably for the following
durations:
    (i) At engine powers that can sustain level flight: A duration that
achieves repetitive, stabilized operation in the icing conditions
defined in appendices C and O of part 25 of this chapter.
    (ii) At engine power below that which can sustain level flight:
    (A) Demonstration in altitude flight simulation test facility: A
duration of 10 minutes consistent with a simulated flight descent of
10,000 ft (3 km) in altitude while operating in Continuous Maximum
icing conditions defined in appendix C of part 25 of this chapter, plus
40 percent liquid water content margin, at the critical level of
airspeed and air temperature, or
    (B) Demonstration in ground test facility: A duration of 3 cycles
of alternating icing exposure corresponding to the liquid water content
levels and standard cloud lengths in Intermittent Maximum and
Continuous Maximum icing conditions defined in appendix C of part 25 of
this chapter, at the critical level of air temperature.
    (c) In addition to complying with Sec.  33.68(b), the following
conditions shown in Table 1 of this section unless replaced by similar
CPA test conditions that are more critical or produce an equivalent
level of severity, must be demonstrated by an engine test:

     (d) The engine should be run at ground idle speed for a minimum of
30 minutes at each of the following icing conditions shown in Table 2
of this section with the available air bleed for icing protection at
its critical condition, without adverse effect, followed by
acceleration to takeoff power or thrust. During the idle operation the
engine may be run up periodically to a moderate power or thrust setting
in a manner acceptable to the Administrator. The applicant must
document any demonstrated run ups and minimum ambient temperature
capability during the conduct of icing testing in the engine operating
manual as mandatory in icing conditions. The applicant must
demonstrate, with consideration of expected airport elevations, the
following:

     (e) The applicant must demonstrate by test, analysis, or
combination of the two, acceptable operation in ice crystals and mixed
phase icing conditions throughout part 33, appendix D, icing envelope
throughout its flight power range, including minimum descent idling
speeds.
    26. Amend Sec.  33.77 by adding paragraph (a) and by revising
paragraphs (c) introductory text, (c)(1), (d), and (e)(1) through (4)
to read as follows:

Sec.  33.77  Foreign object ingestion--ice.

    (a) Compliance with the requirements of this paragraph shall be
demonstrated by engine ice ingestion test or by validated analysis
showing equivalence of other means for demonstrating soft body damage
tolerance.
* * * * *
    (c) Ingestion of ice under the conditions of this section may not
--
    (1) Cause an immediate or ultimate unacceptable sustained power or
thrust loss; or
* * * * *
    (d) For an engine that incorporates a protection device, compliance
with this section need not be demonstrated with respect to ice formed
forward of the protection device if it is shown that--
    (1) Such ice is of a size that will not pass through the protective
device;
    (2) The protective device will withstand the impact of the ice; and
    (3) The ice stopped by the protective device will not obstruct the
flow of induction air into the engine with a resultant sustained
reduction in power or thrust greater than those values defined by
paragraph (c) of this section.
    (e) * * *
    (1) The minimum ice quantity and dimensions will be established by
the engine size as defined in Table 1 of this section.
    (2) The ingested ice dimensions are determined by linear
interpolation between table values, and are based on the actual
engine's inlet hilite area.
    (3) The ingestion velocity will simulate ice from the inlet being
sucked into the engine.
    (4) Engine operation will be at the maximum cruise power or thrust
unless lower power is more critical.

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

    27. Amend part 33 by adding appendix D to read as follows:

Appendix D to Part 33--Mixed Phase And Ice Crystal Icing Envelope (Deep
Convective Clouds)

    Ice crystal conditions associated with convective storm cloud
formations exist within the part 25, appendix C, Intermittent
Maximum Icing envelope (including the extension to -40 deg C) and
the Mil Standard 210 Hot Day envelope. This ice crystal icing
envelope is depicted in Figure D1, below.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP29JN10.058

    Within the envelope, total water content (TWC) in g/m\3\ has
been determined based upon the adiabatic lapse defined by the
convective rise of 90% relative humidity air from sea level to
higher altitudes and scaled by a factor of 0.65 to a standard cloud
length of 17.4 nautical miles. Figure D2 displays TWC for this
distance over a range of ambient temperature within the boundaries
of the ice crystal envelope specified in Figure D1.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP29JN10.059

    Ice crystal size median mass dimension (MMD) range is 50-200
microns (equivalent spherical size) based upon measurements near
convective storm cores.
    The TWC can be treated as completely glaciated (ice crystal)
except as noted in the Table 1.
