10860 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 31 / Thursday, February 16, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

(a) Effective Date 

This airworthiness directive (AD) is 

effective February 9, 2017. 

(b) Affected ADs 

This AD replaces AD 2014–22–01, 39– 

18005 (79 FR 67343, November 13, 2014). 

(c) Applicability 

This AD applies to PILATUS AIRCRAFT 

LTD. Models PC–12, PC–12/45, PC–12/47, 

and PC–12/47E airplanes, all manufacturer 

serial numbers (MSNs), certificated in any 

category. 

(d) Subject 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) Code 5: Time Limits. 

(e) Reason 

This AD was prompted by mandatory 

continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) 

originated by an aviation authority of another 

country to identify and correct an unsafe 

condition on an aviation product. The MCAI 

describes the unsafe condition as a need to 

incorporate new revisions into the 

Limitations section, Chapter 4, of the FAAapproved maintenance program (e.g., 

maintenance manual). The limitations were 

revised to include repetitive inspections of 

the main landing gear (MLG) attachment 

bolts. These actions are required to ensure 

the continued operational safety of the 

affected airplanes. 

(f) Actions and Compliance 

Unless already done, do the actions in 

paragraphs (f)(1) through (6) of this AD: 

(1) Before further flight after February 9, 

2017 (the effective date of this AD), insert the 

following revisions into the Limitations 

section of the FAA-approved maintenance 

program (e.g., maintenance manual). 

Compliance with an electronic version of the 

Limitations section is acceptable provided 

the specifically referenced sections are 

followed even though there may be 

differences with the pagination:

deck air relief system (FDARS) 

components. 

Need for the Correction 

As published, certain service 

information citations in the preamble 

and regulatory text were incorrect. The 

incorrectly specified citation in the 

preamble and regulatory text was 

Boeing Service Bulletin 767–27–0244, 

Revision 1, dated March 8, 2010 (‘‘SB 

767–27–0244, R1’’); the correct citation 

is Boeing Service Bulletin 767–21–0244, 

Revision 1, dated March 8, 2010 (‘‘SB 

767–21–0244, R1’’).

Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767– 

21A0247, Revision 1, dated April 9, 

2013 (‘‘ASB 767–21A0247, R1’’). The 

service information describes 

procedures for changing (modifying) the 

3-way valve control logic and main 

cargo air distribution system (MCADS), 

and installing an FDARS. These 

documents are distinct since they apply 

to different airplane models. 

• Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767– 

21A0253, dated October 12, 2012. The 

service information describes 

procedures for replacing the existing

logic, and installing a new altitude 

switch and pitot tube. 

• Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767– 

21A0254, dated June 7, 2013. The 

service information describes 

procedures for replacing the duct with 

a new duct; installing an FDARS 

(including the installation of mounting 

brackets, ducts, orifice, outlet valve, and 

screen); and activating the 3-way valve 

logic (including modification of the 

associated wiring and related actions). 

• Boeing Service Bulletin 767–31– 

0073, dated October 12, 1995. The

data selection system for the engine 

indication and crew alerting system. 

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. 

Correction of Publication 

This document corrects errors in the 

citation of certain service information 

and correctly adds the AD as an 

amendment to 14 CFR 39.13. Although 

no other part of the preamble or 

regulatory information has been 

corrected, we are publishing the entire 

rule in the Federal Register. 

The effective date of this AD remains 

February 21, 2017. 

Since this action only corrects errors 

in the citation of certain service 

information, it has no adverse economic 

impact and imposes no additional 

burden on any person. Therefore, we 

have determined that notice and public 

procedures are unnecessary.

EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY 

COMMISSION 

29 CFR Part 1614 

RIN 3046–AA94 

Affirmative Action for Individuals With 

Disabilities in Federal Employment 

AGENCY: Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

Presidential directive in the 

memorandum from the Assistant to the 

President and Chief of Staff, dated 

January 20, 2017, and entitled 

‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,’’ 

the U.S. Equal Employment 

Opportunity Commission (‘‘EEOC’’) is 

delaying the effective date of a final rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 3, 2017. 

DATES: The effective date of the EEOC 

final rule published on January 3, 2017, 

at 82 FR 654, is delayed from March 6, 

2017, to March 21, 2017. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Christopher Kuczynski, Assistant Legal 

Counsel, (202) 663–4665, or Aaron 

Konopasky, Senior Attorney-Advisor, 

(202) 663–4127 (voice), or (202) 663– 

7026 (TTY), Office of Legal Counsel, 

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity 

Commission. (These are not toll free 

numbers.) Requests for this document in 

an alternative format should be made to 

the Office of Communications and 

Legislative Affairs at (202) 663–4191 

(voice) or (202) 663–4494 (TTY). (These 

are not toll free numbers.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 3, 2017, the EEOC published a 

final rule amending 29 CFR 1614.203 to 

clarify the affirmative action obligations 

that Section 501 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, 29 U.S.C. 791, imposes on 

federal agencies as employers. As 

clarified in a correction published on 

January 11, 2017, at 32 FR 3170, the rule 

was to become effective on March 6, 

2017. On January 20, 2017, the White 

House issued a memorandum 

instructing Federal agencies to postpone 

until 60 days after January 20, 2017, the 

effective dates of any regulations that 

had been published in the Federal 

Register but had not yet taken effect, for 

the purpose of ‘‘reviewing questions of 

fact, law, and policy they raise.’’ The 

EEOC is, therefore, delaying the 

effective date of its final rule published 

on January 3, 2017, at 82 FR 654, until 

March 21, 2017. 

For the Commission. 

Dated: February 10, 2017.

42 CFR Part 2 

[SAMHSA–4162–20] 

RIN 0930–AA21 

Confidentiality of Substance Use 

Disorder Patient Records; Delay of 

Effective Date 

AGENCY: Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration, HHS. 

ACTION: Final rule; delay of effective 

date. 

SUMMARY: On January 18, 2017, the 

Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration (SAMHSA) 

published a final rule on Confidentiality 

of Substance Use Disorder Patient 

Records. That rule is scheduled to take 

effect on February 17, 2017. In 

accordance with the memorandum of 

January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to 

the President and Chief of Staff, entitled 

‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review,’’ 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 24, 2017 (82 FR 8346), this 

action delays for 60 days from the date 

of the memorandum the effective date of 

the rule entitled ‘‘Confidentiality of 

Substance Use Disorder Patient 

Records’’ published in the Federal 

Register on January 18, 2017 (82 FR 

6052). 

DATES: The effective date of the 

Confidentiality of Substance Use 

Disorder Patient Records final rule, 

published in the Federal Register on 

January 18, 2017 (82 FR 6052) is 

delayed from February 17, 2017, to a 

new effective date of March 21, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Confidentiality of Substance Use 

Disorder Patient Records Final Rule 

updates and modernizes the 

Confidentiality of Alcohol and Drug 

Abuse Patient Records regulations (42 

CFR part 2) to facilitate integration of 

care and new health care delivery 

models while protecting the privacy of 

patients diagnosed, treated, or referred 

for treatment for a substance use 

disorder. To the extent that 5 U.S.C. 553 

applies to this action to delay the rule’s 

effective date, it is exempt from notice 

and comment because it constitutes a 

rule of procedure under 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(A). Alternatively, the 

Department’s implementation of this 

rule without opportunity for public 

comment, effective immediately upon 

publication today in the Federal 

Register, is based on the good cause 

exception in 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) in that 

seeking public comment is 

impracticable, unnecessary and contrary 

to the public interest. The 60-day delay 

in effective date is necessary to give 

Department officials the opportunity for 

further review and consideration of new 

regulations, consistent with the 

Assistant to the President’s 

memorandum of January 20, 2017. This 

memorandum instructed federal 

agencies to delay the effective date of 

rules published in the Federal Register, 

but which have not yet taken effect, for 

a period of 60-days from the date of the 

memorandum. Given the imminence of 

the effective date, seeking prior public
