14 CFR Part 23 

[Docket No. FAA–2015–2903; Special 

Conditions No. 23–270–SC] 

Special Conditions: Honda Aircraft 

Company, Model HA–420, HondaJet; 

Ventilation Requirements in High 

Altitude Operations 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final special conditions; request 

for comments. 

SUMMARY: These special conditions are 

issued for the Honda Aircraft Company, 

Model HA–420 airplane. This airplane 

will have a novel or unusual design 

feature associated with high altitude 

operations above 41,000 feet. The 

applicable airworthiness regulations do 

not contain adequate or appropriate 

safety standards for this design feature. 

These special conditions contain the 

additional safety standards that the 

Administrator considers necessary to 

establish a level of safety equivalent to 

that established by the existing 

airworthiness standards. 

DATES: The effective date of these 

special conditions is August 12, 2015. 

We must receive your comments by 

September 11, 2015

Service, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas 

City, MO 64106; telephone (816) 329–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

has determined, in accordance with 5 

U.S. Code 553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d)(3), 

that notice and opportunity for prior 

public comment hereon are unnecessary 

because the substance of these special 

conditions has been subject to the 

public comment process in several prior 

instances with no substantive comments 

received. The FAA therefore finds that 

good cause exists for making these 

special conditions effective upon 

issuance.

Comments Invited 

We invite interested people to take 

part in this rulemaking by sending 

written comments, data, or views. The 

most helpful comments reference a 

specific portion of the special 

conditions, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. We ask that you send 

us two copies of written comments. 

We will consider all comments we 

receive on or before the closing date for 

comments. We will consider comments 

filed late if it is possible to do so 

without incurring expense or delay. We 

may change these special conditions 

based on the comments we receive. 

Background 

On October 11, 2006, Honda Aircraft 

Company applied for a type certificate 

for their new model HA–420. On 

October 10, 2013, Honda Aircraft 

Company requested an extension with 

an effective application date of October 

1, 2013. This extension changed the 

type certification basis to amendment 

23–62. 

The HA–420 is a four to five 

passenger (depending on configuration), 

two crew, lightweight business jet with 

a 43,000-foot service ceiling and a 

maximum takeoff weight of 9963 

pounds. The airplane is powered by two 

GE-Honda Aero Engines (GHAE) HF– 

120 turbofan engines. 

This airplane will have a novel or 

unusual design feature associated with 

high altitude operations above 41,000 

feet. During the development of the 

supersonic transport special conditions, 

it was noted that certain pressurization 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 155 / Wednesday, August 12, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 48243 

failures resulted in hot ram or bleed air 

being used to maintain pressurization. 

Such a measure can lead to cabin 

temperatures that exceed human 

tolerance limits following probable and 

improbable failures. The current part 23 

does not address this hazard. 

Type Certification Basis 

Under the provisions of 14 CFR 21.17, 

Honda Aircraft Company must show 

that the HA–420 meets the applicable 

provisions of part 23, as amended by 

amendment 23–0 through amendment 

23–62 thereto. 

If the Administrator finds that the 

applicable airworthiness regulations 

(i.e., 14 CFR part 23) do not contain 

adequate or appropriate safety standards 

for the HA–420 because of a novel or 

unusual design feature, special 

conditions are prescribed under the 

provisions of § 21.16. 

In addition to the applicable 

airworthiness regulations and special 

conditions, the HA–420, must comply 

with the fuel vent and exhaust emission 

requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the 

noise certification requirements of 14 

CFR part 36; and the FAA must issue a 

finding of regulatory adequacy under 

§ 611 of Public Law 92–574, the ‘‘Noise 

Control Act of 1972.’’ 

The FAA issues special conditions, as 

defined in § 11.19, under § 11.38 and 

they become part of the type 

certification basis under § 21.17(a)(2). 

Special conditions are initially 

applicable to the model for which they 

are issued. Should the type certificate 

for that model be amended later to 

include any other model that 

incorporates the same novel or unusual 

design feature, the special conditions 

would also apply to the other model. 

Novel or Unusual Design Features 

The HA–420 will incorporate the 

following novel or unusual design 

features: Will operate at altitudes above 

41,000 feet where the ventilation 

requirements in § 23.831, amendment 

23–62, are inadequate above that 

altitude. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to the HA– 

420. Should Honda Aircraft Company 

apply at a later date for a change to the 

type certificate to include another 

model incorporating the same novel or 

unusual design feature, the special 

conditions would apply to that model as 

well. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on one model 

of airplanes. It is not a rule of general 

applicability and affects only the 

applicant who applied to the FAA for 

approval of these features on the 

airplane. 

The substance of these special 

conditions has been subjected to the 

notice and comment period in several 

prior instances, identified above, and 

has been derived without substantive 

change from those previously issued. It 

is unlikely that prior public comment 

would result in a significant change 

from the substance contained herein. 

Therefore, notice and opportunity for 

prior public comment hereon are 

unnecessary and the FAA finds good 

cause, in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B) and 553(d)(3), making these 

special conditions effective upon 

issuance. The FAA is requesting 

comments to allow interested persons to 

submit views that may not have been 

submitted in response to the prior 

opportunities for comment described 

above.

Fisheries of the Northeastern United 

States; Atlantic Mackerel, Squid, and 

Butterfish Fisheries; Framework 

Adjustment 9 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is implementing 

regulations consistent with Framework 

Adjustment 9 to the Atlantic Mackerel, 

Squid, and Butterfish Fishery 

Management Plan. This action will 

further enhance catch monitoring and 

address discarding catch before it has 

been sampled by observers (known as 

slippage) in the Atlantic mackerel 

fishery. Framework 9 implements 

slippage consequence measures, and a 

requirement that slippage events be 

reported via the vessel monitoring 

system. For allowable slippage events, 

due to safety, mechanical failure, or 

excess catch of spiny dogfish, vessels 

must move 15 nm (27.8 km) from the 

location of the slippage event. For nonallowable slippage events, due to 

reasons other than those listed 

previously, vessels must terminate their 

fishing trip. Slippage events have the 

potential to substantially affect analysis 

or extrapolations of incidental catch, 

including river herring and shad, and 

these measures are designed to address 

this issue. 

DATES: Effective September 11, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the framework 

document, including the Environmental 

Assessment (EA) and Regulatory Impact
