Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 164 / Wednesday, August 24, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 57761 

there is no misunderstanding that 

§ 25.863 also applies to these batteries. 

AmSafe recommended revising 

proposed special condition no. 5 to 

prohibit damage to surrounding 

structure or adjacent systems, 

equipment, or electrical wiring from 

corrosive fluids or gases that may escape 

‘‘in such a way as to cause a hazardous 

or catastrophic failure condition.’’ AIA 

also recommended this revision. The 

FAA intends for special condition no. 5 

to be consistent with § 25.1309. So, we 

added the words ‘‘. . . in such a way as 

to cause a major or more-severe failure 

condition.’’ The revised special 

condition now reads, ‘‘. . . each nonrechargeable lithium battery installation 

must not damage surrounding structure 

or adjacent systems, equipment, or 

electrical wiring from corrosive fluids or 

gases that may escape in such a way as 

to cause a major or more-severe failure 

condition.’’ The FAA does not concur 

with excluding major failure conditions. 

AmSafe concurred with proposed 

special condition no. 6. 

AmSafe concurred with proposed 

special condition no. 7 and 

recommended revising proposed special 

condition no. 8. However, the FAA 

deleted these proposed special 

conditions as explained in our response 

to AIA’s comments in special conditions 

no. 25–612–SC. 

AmSafe recommended revising ‘‘safe 

operation of the airplane’’ in proposed 

special condition nos. 9 and 10 to 

‘‘continued safe operation of the 

airplane.’’ The phrase ‘‘continued safe 

operation of the airplane’’ is used to 

refer to safe operation of the airplane 

after a failure has occurred. The phrase 

‘‘safe operation of the airplane’’ is more 

general and appropriate for these special 

conditions. We did not incorporate 

AmSafe’s proposed revision into these 

special conditions. 

The FAA has determined that 

‘‘uncontrolled’’ in special condition no. 

2 should be ‘‘uncontrollable’’ to more 

accurately describe the concern. This 

revision does not change the intended 

meaning of this special condition. 

Except as discussed above, the special 

conditions are adopted as proposed. 

Applicability 

As discussed above, these special 

conditions are applicable to the Model 

767–2C airplane. Should the applicant 

apply at a later date for a change to the 

type certificate to include another 

model incorporating the same novel or 

unusual design feature, or should any 

other model already included on the 

same type certificate be modified to 

incorporate the same novel or unusual 

design feature, these special conditions 

would apply to that model as well. 

These special conditions are only 

applicable to design changes applied for 

after their effective date. The existing 

airplane fleet and follow-on deliveries 

of airplanes with previously certified 

non-rechargeable lithium battery 

installations are not affected. 

These special conditions are not 

applicable to previously certified nonrechargeable lithium battery 

installations where the only change is 

either cosmetic or relocating the 

installation to improve the safety of the 

airplane and occupants. The FAA 

determined that this exclusion is in the 

public interest because the need to meet 

all of the special conditions might 

otherwise deter such design changes 

that involve relocating batteries. A 

cosmetic change is a change in 

appearance only, and does not change 

any function or safety characteristic of 

the battery installation. 

Conclusion 

This action affects only certain novel 

or unusual design features on one model 

of airplane. It is not a rule of general 

applicability.

The authority citation for these 

special conditions is as follows: 

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

44702, 44704. 

The Special Conditions 

Accordingly, the following special 

conditions are part of the type 

certification basis for the Boeing Model 

767–2C airplane. 

Non-Rechargeable Lithium Battery 

Installations 

In lieu of § 25.1353(b)(1) through 

(b)(4) at Amendment 25–123, each nonrechargeable lithium battery installation 

must: 

1. Maintain safe cell temperatures and 

pressures under all foreseeable 

operating conditions to prevent fire and 

explosion. 

2. Prevent the occurrence of selfsustaining, uncontrollable increases in 

temperature or pressure. 

3. Not emit explosive or toxic gases, 

either in normal operation or as a result 

of its failure, that may accumulate in 

hazardous quantities within the 

airplane. 

4. Meet the requirements of § 25.863. 

5. Not damage surrounding structure 

or adjacent systems, equipment, or 

electrical wiring from corrosive fluids or 

gases that may escape in such a way as 

to cause a major or more-severe failure 

condition. 

6. Have provisions to prevent any 

hazardous effect on airplane structure or 

systems caused by the maximum 

amount of heat it can generate due to 

any failure of it or its individual cells. 

7. Have a failure sensing and warning 

system to alert the flightcrew if its 

failure affects safe operation of the 

airplane. 

8. Have a means for the flightcrew or 

maintenance personnel to determine the 

battery charge state if the battery’s 

function is required for safe operation of 

the airplane. 

Note: A battery system consists of the 

battery and any protective, monitoring, 

and alerting circuitry or hardware inside 

or outside of the battery. It also includes 

vents (where necessary) and packaging. 

For the purpose of these special 

conditions, a ‘‘battery’’ and ‘‘battery 

system’’ are referred to as a battery.

IFR Altitudes; Miscellaneous 

Amendments 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule 

SUMMARY: This amendment adopts 

miscellaneous amendments to the 

required IFR (instrument flight rules) 

altitudes and changeover points for 

certain Federal airways, jet routes, or 

direct routes for which a minimum or 

maximum en route authorized IFR 

altitude is prescribed. This regulatory 

action is needed because of changes 

occurring in the National Airspace 

System. These changes are designed to 

provide for the safe and efficient use of 

the navigable airspace under instrument 

conditions in the affected areas.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

amendment to part 95 of the Federal 

Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 95) 

amends, suspends, or revokes IFR 

altitudes governing the operation of all 

aircraft in flight over a specified route 

or any portion of that route, as well as 

the changeover points (COPs) for 

Federal airways, jet routes, or direct 

routes as prescribed in part 95. 

The Rule 

The specified IFR altitudes, when 

used in conjunction with the prescribed 

changeover points for those routes, 

ensure navigation aid coverage that is 

adequate for safe flight operations and 

free of frequency interference. The 

reasons and circumstances that create 

the need for this amendment involve 

matters of flight safety and operational 

efficiency in the National Airspace 

System, are related to published 

aeronautical charts that are essential to 

the user, and provide for the safe and 

efficient use of the navigable airspace. 

In addition, those various reasons or 

circumstances require making this 

amendment effective before the next 

scheduled charting and publication date 

of the flight information to assure its 

timely availability to the user. The 

effective date of this amendment reflects 

those considerations. In view of the 

close and immediate relationship 

between these regulatory changes and 

safety in air commerce, I find that notice 

and public procedure before adopting 

this amendment are impracticable and 

contrary to the public interest and that 

good cause exists for making the 

amendment effective in less than 30 

days. 

Conclusion 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. It, therefore—(1) is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a 

‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. For the same 

reason, the FAA certifies that this 

amendment will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

I. Purpose of the Regulatory Action 

a. ETA issues this final rule to 

implement statutory amendments to the 

EB program, which pays extra weeks of 

unemployment compensation during 

periods of high unemployment in a 

State. Specifically, this final rule 

codifies a methodology for computing 

the TUR indicator, which is an optional 

indicator used to measure 

unemployment in a State. Also, the final 

rule makes technical corrections to the 

current regulations and corrects minor 

mistakes. 

b. The Unemployment Compensation 

Amendments of 1992, Public Law 102– 

318, added Section 203(f), EUCA, to 

provide for an optional alternative 

indicator that States may use to trigger 

‘‘on’’ EB based on the TUR. That 

indicator requires that, for the most 

recent 3 months for which data for all 

States is published, the average TUR in 

the State (seasonally adjusted) for the 

most recent 3-month period equals or 

exceeds 6.5 percent and the average 

TUR in the State (seasonally adjusted) 

equals or exceeds 110 percent of the 

average TUR for either or both of the 

corresponding 3-month periods in the 2 

preceding calendar years (look-back). 

The 1992 amendments also provided for 

a calculation of a ‘‘high unemployment 

period’’ when the TUR in a State equals 

or exceeds 8 percent and meets the 110- 

percent look-back described above, 

permitting the payment of additional 

weeks of EB. Section 203(f)(3), EUCA, 

provides that ‘‘determinations of the 

rate of total unemployment in any State 

for any period . . . shall be made by the 

Secretary.’’ An EB period ends when the 

State no longer meets any of the ‘‘on’’ 

triggers provided for in State law.
