AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new 

airworthiness directive (AD) for certain 

The Boeing Company Model 757–200, 

–200PF, –200CB, and –300 series 

airplanes. This AD was prompted by 

numerous reports of unintended lateral 

oscillations during final approach, just 

before landing. This AD requires, 

depending on airplane configuration, 

installing new relays and bracket 

assemblies, inspecting to ensure that the 

new relays do not contact adjacent wire 

bundles, torquing the bracket assembly 

installation nuts and ground stud nuts, 

doing bond resistance tests between the 

bracket assemblies and the terminal lugs 

on the ground studs, and related 

investigative and corrective actions if 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

reduce the chance of unintended lateral 

oscillations near touchdown, which 

could result in loss of lateral control of 

the airplane, and consequent airplane 

damage or injury to flightcrew and 

passengers. 

DATES: This AD is effective May 26, 

2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of certain publications listed in this AD 

as of May 26, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a supplemental notice of 

proposed rulemaking (SNPRM) to 

amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD 

that would apply to certain The Boeing 

Company Model 757–200, –200PF, 

–200CB, and –300 series airplanes. The 

SNPRM published in the Federal 

Register on July 1, 2014 (79 FR 37239). 

We preceded the SNPRM with a notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that 

published in the Federal Register on 

May 24, 2011 (76 FR 30043). The NPRM 

proposed to require, for certain 

airplanes, installing new relays adjacent 

to two of the spoiler control modules. 

For certain other airplanes, the NPRM 

proposed to require torquing the bracket 

assembly installation nuts and ground 

stud nuts, and doing bond resistance 

tests between the bracket assemblies 

and the terminal lugs on the ground 

studs. The NPRM was prompted by 

numerous reports of unintended lateral 

oscillations during final approach, just 

before landing. In addition to the 

actions proposed in the NPRM, the 

SNPRM proposed to require installing 

three new relays on the opposite side of 

the same relay bracket assembly; and for 

certain airplanes, doing an additional 

inspection to ensure that the three new 

relays do not contact adjacent wire 

bundles, and related investigative and 

corrective actions if necessary. We are 

issuing this AD to reduce the chance of 

unintended lateral oscillations near 

touchdown, which could result in loss 

of lateral control of the airplane, and 

consequent airplane damage or injury to 

flightcrew and passengers. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. The 

following presents the comments 

received on the SNPRM (79 FR 37239, 

July 1, 2014) and the FAA’s response to 

each comment. 

Support for the SNPRM (79 FR 37239, 

July 1, 2014) 

American Airlines (AAL) stated that it 

agrees with the intent of the SNPRM (79 

FR 37239, July 1, 2014). Boeing stated 

that it agrees with the NPRM (76 FR 

30043, May 24, 2011). We infer that 

Boeing’s comment refers to the SNPRM. 

Request To Withdraw the SNPRM (79 

FR 37239, July 1, 2014) 

United Airlines (United Engineering) 

requested data to justify the release of a 

new AD. United Engineering stated that 

it has not received any reports of pilotinduced oscillations since 

implementation of AD 2006–23–15, 

Amendment 39–14827 (71 FR 66657, 

November 16, 2006). United 

Engineering stated that AD 2006–23–15 

requires, among other actions, installing 

a control wheel damper assembly and 

vortex generators (vortilons) on the 

leading edge of the outboard main flap. 

United Engineering also stated that the 

required work is extensive and that the 

impact to operations and the cost of this 

modification is considerable. 

From these statements, we infer that 

United Engineering requested we 

withdraw the SNPRM (79 FR 37239, 

July 1, 2014). We do not agree with the 

commenter’s request to withdraw the 

SNPRM. AD 2006–23–15, Amendment 

39–14827 (71 FR 66657, November 16, 

2006), was considered interim action. 

To effectively manage the risk, the FAA 

determined an interim action needed to 

be mandated to reduce the risk, while a 

solution that fully addresses the unsafe 

condition was identified and could be 

implemented. 

The manufacturer has identified an 

additional modification that is needed 

to correct the unsafe condition 

identified in AD 2006–23–15. We have 

determined that this design change not 

only corrects the unsafe condition by 

removing excessive airplane roll 

authority during landing, but it will also 

improve safety by making the Model 

757 handling characteristics more 

consistent with the other Boeing 

airplane models. Also, even though 

there have only been 12 reports of 

unintended lateral oscillations near 

touchdown, the FAA considers it likely 

that there may have been other events 

that have been unrecognized and/or 

unreported. 

Finally, in developing the compliance 

time for this AD, we did consider not 

only the safety implications of the 

identified unsafe condition, but also the 

practical aspects of an orderly 

modification of the fleet including the 

work required and the impact on 

operations. We have determined that it 

is necessary to proceed with this AD 

action. 

Request To Delay Final Rule Pending 

Revised Service Information 

AAL requested that we delay this 

final rule until Boeing releases Boeing 

Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, Revision 

4. AAL noted that Boeing intended to 

release Boeing Service Bulletin 757– 

27A0152, Revision 4, which would 

address its concerns regarding certain 

procedures and figures in Boeing 

Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, Revision 

1, Dated June 30, 2010. 

Since the issuance of the SNPRM (79 

FR 37239, July 1, 2014), Boeing has 

issued Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, 

Revision 4, dated August 26, 2014. We 

have revised this AD to incorporate 

Boeing Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, 

Revision 4, dated August 26, 2014, as an 

appropriate source of service 

information for accomplishing the 

actions required by this AD. This 

service bulletin includes a change to a 

footnote listed in Figures 15, 16, 17, 19, 

and 21; this footnote addresses AAL’s 

concerns regarding certain procedures 

and figures in Boeing Service Bulletin 

757–27A0152, Revision 1, dated June 

30, 2010. Boeing Service Bulletin 757– 

27A0152, Revision 4, dated August 26, 

2014, states that no more work is 

necessary on airplanes changed in 

accordance with Boeing Service Bulletin 

757–27A0152, Revision 2, dated May 

25, 2012; or Boeing Service Bulletin 

757–27A0152, Revision 3, dated 

October 28, 2013. 

We have changed paragraphs (c) and 

(g) of this AD to reference Boeing 

Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, Revision 

3, dated October 28, 2013, as revised by 

Boeing Service Bulletin 757–27A0152, 

Revision 4, dated August 26, 2014. 

Effect of Winglets on AD 

Aviation Partners Boeing stated that 

the installation of winglets per

not affect the accomplishment of the 

manufacturer’s service instructions. No 

change is necessary to this AD in this 

regard. 

Related Service Information Under 1 

CFR Part 51 

We reviewed Boeing Service Bulletin 

757–27A0152, Revision 3, dated 

October 28, 2013, which describes 

procedures for installing new relays; 

inspecting to ensure that the new relays 

do not contact adjacent wire bundles, 

and related investigative and corrective 

actions if necessary; torquing the 

bracket assembly installation nuts and 

ground stud nuts; and doing bond 

resistance tests between the bracket 

assemblies and the terminal lugs on the 

ground studs. 

We have also reviewed Boeing Service 

Bulletin 757–27A0152, Revision 4, 

dated August 26, 2014, which provides 

some revised text in footnotes of certain 

figures. 

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. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data, 

considered the comments received, and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

with the changes described and minor 

editorial changes. We have determined 

that these minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the SNPRM (79 FR 

37239, July 1, 2014) for correcting the 

unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the SNPRM (79 FR 37239, 

July 1, 2014). 

We also determined that these 

changes will not increase the economic 

burden on any operator or increase the 

scope of this AD. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 676 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

We estimate the following costs to 

comply with this AD: 

ESTIMATED COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per product Cost on U.S. 

operators 

Installation Group 1, Configuration 1 (48 airplanes).36 work-hours × $85 per hour = $3,060 ...... $4,691 $7,751 ................ $372,048. 

Installation Group 2, Configuration 1 (588 

airplanes).

33 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,805 ...... 4,610 7,415 .................. 4,360,020. 

Installation Group 3, Configuration 1 (12 airplanes).33 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,805 ...... 4,619 7,424 .................. 89,088. 

Installation Group 4, Configuration 1 (24 airplanes).33 work-hours × $85 per hour = $2,805 ...... 4,610 7,415 .................. 177,960. 

Installation Group 5, Configuration 1 (4 airplanes).36 work-hours × $85 per hour = $3,060 ...... 4,701 7,761 .................. 31,044. 

Torque Bracket Assembly and Bond Tests

General Visual Inspection Groups 1–5, Configuration 3 (Up to 676 airplanes).7 work-hours × $85 per hour = $595 ........... 0 Up to $595 ......... Up to $402,220. 

We estimate the following costs to do 

any necessary repairs that would be 

required based on the results of the 

inspection. We have no way of 

determining the number of aircraft that 

might need these repairs: 

ON-CONDITION COSTS

Action Labor cost Parts cost Cost per 

product 

Adjust Wire Bundle and Install Sleeve, Group 1–5, Configuration 1 ............. 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......... $0 $85 

Inspection, Repair, and Installation Change, Group 1–5, Configuration 2 .... 1 work-hour × $85 per hour = $85 ......... 0 85 

Inspection, Repair, Installation Change, and Test, Group 1–5, Configuration 3.5 work-hours × $85 per hour = $425 ..... 0 425 

We have received no definitive data 

that would enable us to provide cost 

estimates for the parts needed for the 

on-condition actions specified in this 

AD. 

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

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer 

Manual 

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange 

Commission (the Commission) is 

adopting revisions to the Electronic Data 

Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval 

System (EDGAR) Filer Manual and 

related rules to reflect updates to the 

EDGAR system. The updates are being 

made primarily to support the 2015 US 

GAAP financial reporting and 2015 

EXCH taxonomies; add new form types 

for registration of Security-based swap 

data repositories (SDR); revise the Form 

ID Application Confirmation screen; 

remove references to the Paper Form ID; 

and revise Item 1 on submission form 

type MA–A. The EDGAR system was 

upgraded to support the new 2015 

taxonomies and revised MA–A form 

functionalities on March 9, 2015. The 

EDGAR system is scheduled to be 

upgraded to support the other 

functionalities on April 13, 2015. 

DATES: Effective April 20, 2015. The 

incorporation by reference of the 

EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the 

Director of the Federal Register as of 

April 20, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: In 

the Division of Trading and Markets, for 

questions concerning Form SDR and the 

revisions for Form MA–A, contact Kathy 

Bateman at (202) 551–4345, and in the 

Office of Information Technology, 

contact Tammy Borkowski at (202) 551– 

7208. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: We are 

adopting an updated EDGAR Filer 

Manual, Volume I and Volume II. The 

Filer Manual describes the technical 

formatting requirements for the 

preparation and submission of 

electronic filings through the EDGAR 

system.1 It also describes the 

requirements for filing using 

EDGARLink Online and the Online 

Forms/XML Web site. 

The revisions to the Filer Manual 

reflect changes within Volume I entitled 

EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume I: 

‘‘General Information,’’ Version 20 

(April 2015), and Volume II entitled 

EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: 

‘‘EDGAR Filing,’’ Version 30 (April 

2015). The updated manual will be 

incorporated by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations. 

The Filer Manual contains all the 

technical specifications for filers to 

submit filings using the EDGAR system. 

Filers must comply with the applicable 

provisions of the Filer Manual in order 

to assure the timely acceptance and 

processing of filings made in electronic 

format.2 Filers may consult the Filer 

Manual in conjunction with our rules 

governing mandated electronic filing 

when preparing documents for 

electronic submission.3

The EDGAR system will be upgraded 

to Release 15.1 on April 13, 2015 and 

will introduce the following changes: 

EDGAR will be updated to add new 

submission form types SDR, SDR/A, 

SDR–A, and SDR–W. These submission 

form types can be accessed by selecting 

the ‘‘File SDR’’ link on the EDGAR 

Filing Web site. Additionally, 

applicants may construct XML 

submissions for these submission types 

by following the ‘‘EDGAR SDR XML 

Technical Specification’’ document 

available on the SEC’s Public Web site 

(http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml). 

Submission form types SDR, SDR/A, 

SDR–A, and SDR–W will include the 

‘‘Request Confidentiality’’ check box to 

allow applicants to select which 

information to request confidential 

treatment. After a Form SDR is 

submitted, SEC staff will review the 

submission and make a determination of 

whether the information for which 

confidential treatment is requested 

should be made public. EDGAR will 

disseminate only the content and 

attached exhibits of the submission that 

the SEC staff has determined to be 

public. 

The ‘‘Form ID Application 

Confirmation’’ screen will display four 

additional labels: ‘‘Signature of 

Authorized Person,’’ ‘‘Printed Name of 

Signature,’’ ‘‘Title of Person Signing,’’ 

and ‘‘Notary Signature & Seal to be 

Placed Here.’’ This screen will also be 

updated to include a ‘‘Print Window’’ 

button to print the completed online 

Form ID application. The printed 

application can be signed and notarized 

by the filer to serve as the 

authentication document when 

applying for EDGAR access. 

All references to the Paper Form ID 

have been removed from the Filer 

Manual. Filers can print the electronic 

Form ID and use this as the 

authentication document as explained 

above. 

EDGAR was updated to support the 

2015 US GAAP financial reporting 

taxonomy and the 2015 EXCH 

taxonomy. A complete listing of 

supported standard taxonomies is 

available on http://www.sec.gov/info/

edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml. 

Item 1 ‘‘Identifying Information’’ on 

submission type MA–A was updated for 

the following question: ‘‘Changes: Are 

there any changes in this annual update 

to information provided in the 

municipal advisor’s most recent Form 

MA, other than the updated Execution 

Page?’’ If filers select ‘‘No’’ as a response 

to the question, then all fields will be 

disabled on submission type MA–A 

with the exception of ‘‘Execution’’ and 

‘‘Filer Information’’ tabs and the ‘‘Fiscal 

Year End Information’’ field on Item 1. 

Alternatively, if filers select ‘‘Yes’’ to 

the question, then they must update 

applicable items on submission type 

MA–A. 

Along with the adoption of the Filer 

Manual, we are amending Rule 301 of 

Regulation S–T to provide for the 

incorporation by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations of today’s 

revisions. This incorporation by 

reference was approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register in accordance 

with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51. 

The updated EDGAR Filer Manual 

will be available for Web site viewing 

and printing; the address for the Filer 

Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/

edgar.shtml. You may also obtain paper 

copies of the EDGAR Filer Manual from 

the following address: Public Reference 

Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange 

Commission, 100 F Street NE., 

Washington, DC 20549, on official 

business days between the hours of 

10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.

corresponding rule changes relate solely 

to agency procedures or practice,
