**FAA-Approved Portable Oxygen Concentrators; Technical Amendment** 

**AGENCY :**  Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

**ACTION :**  Final rule; technical amendment.

**SUMMARY :**  The FAA is amending regulations relating to operating rules for FAA approved portable oxygen concentrators (POC) onboard aircraft. This document updates the names of two manufacturers of approved POCs listed in the Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR).

**DATES :**  Effective January 27, 2012.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  For technical questions concerning this action, contact DK Deaderick, Air Transportation Division, AFS–200, Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267–7480; email: DK.Deaderick@faa.gov.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  Background

On July 12, 2005, the FAA published SFAR 106, ‘‘Use of Certain Portable Oxygen Concentrator Devices Onboard Aircraft’’ (70 FR 40156). SFAR 106 permits passengers to carry on and use certain small portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) on board aircraft if the operator ensures compliance with conditions specified in the SFAR. Some of the devices determined acceptable for use in SFAR 106 are Delphi Medical Systems’ RS–00400 (added to the SFAR in 74 FR 2351) and International Biophysics Corporation’s LifeChoice (added to the SFAR in 75 FR 739).

As a result of business changes that took place after SFAR 106 was published, the LifeChoice POC is now manufactured by Inova Labs, Inc. and not by the International Biophysics Corporation. Similarly, the RS–00400 POC is now manufactured by Oxus, Inc. and not by Delphi Medical Systems.

The two companies currently manufacturing these POCs have petitioned the FAA to amend SFAR 106, Section 2 and section 3(a), of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR). This amendment would update section 2 and section 3(a) of SFAR 106 with the names of the current manufacturers of the LifeChoice and RS–00400 POCs.

Technical Amendment

LifeChoice and RS–00400 are still the same products that were originally approved in SFAR 106—only the names of their manufacturers have changed. As such, this technical amendment makes two revisions to the final rule. First, the language in SFAR 106 section 2 and section 3(a) is revised to refer to LifeChoice as being manufactured by Inova Labs. Second, the reference to the RS–00400 POC is revised to refer to this device as being manufactured by Oxus, Inc.

Because the changes in this technical amendment result in no substantive change, we find good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to make the amendment effective in less than 30 days. List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 121

Air carriers, Aircraft, Airmen, Aviation safety, Charter flights, Safety, Transportation, Air taxis.

The Amendment

In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation Administration amends chapter 1 of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations as follows:

138 FERC ¶ 61,033 Before Commissioners: Jon Wellinghoff, Chairman; Philip D. Moeller, John R. Norris, and Cheryl A. LaFleur. (Issued January 19, 2012) 1. In this Final Rule, the Commission adopts the proposal in the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in this docket. 1 Effective March 27, 2012, the Commission eliminates its semi-annual storage reporting requirements for (1) interstate natural gas companies subject to the Commission’s jurisdiction under the Natural Gas Act (NGA), as codified in 18 CFR 284.13(e); (2) intrastate pipelines providing interstate services pursuant to section 311 of the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), 2 as codified in 18 CFR 284.126(c); and (3) Hinshaw 3 pipelines providing interstate services subject to the Commission’s NGA jurisdiction pursuant to blanket certificates issued under section 284.224 of the Commission’s regulations, as also codified in 18 CFR 284.126(c). All of the parties who filed comments in response to the NOPR stated that they support this course of action. The Commission found in the NOPR that these particular reporting requirements are largely duplicative with other reporting requirements.
I. Background
A. Current Reporting Requirements

2. Currently, section 284.13(e) of the Commission’s regulations requires interstate pipelines to file semi-annual storage reports at the end of each complete storage injection and withdrawal season. Section 284.126(c) requires similar semi-annual reports by section 311 and Hinshaw pipelines providing interstate storage service. Pipelines must file these reports within 30 days of the end of each complete storage injection and withdrawal season, and the reports must be signed under oath by a senior official. The reports by the two sets of pipelines must include:

(1) the identity of each customer injecting gas into storage and/or withdrawing gas from storage (including, for interstate pipelines, any affiliate relationship),

(2) the rate schedule (for interstate pipelines) or docket number (for intrastate pipelines) authorizing the storage injection or withdrawal service,
