Background 

On February 27, 2014, the FAA issued 

Notice No. 14–10, ‘‘Changes to 

Production Certificates and Approvals’’ 

(79 FR 11004). In addition to the NPRM, 

the FAA proposed revisions to three 

advisory circulars (ACs): 

(1) AC No. 21–43A, Production Under 

14 CFR Part 21, subparts F, G, K, and 

O, provides information about Title 14 

of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 

CFR) part 21, Certification Procedures 

for Products and Parts. This AC 

addresses the manufacturing and 

production requirements of part 21, 

subpart F, Production Under Type 

Certificate; subpart G, Production 

Certificates; subpart K, Parts 

Manufacturer Approvals; and subpart O, 

Technical Standard Order Approvals. 

This AC provides guidance on how a 

production approval applicant or 

production approval holder should 

develop and maintain its quality system. 

In addition, the AC provides guidance 

on how to meet the production-related 

requirements of subparts F, G, K, and O. 

(2) AC No. 21–44A, Issuance of 

Export Airworthiness Approvals Under 

14 CFR Part 21 Subpart L, provides 

guidance for an acceptable means, but 

not the only means, to comply with 

requirements in Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 21, 

Certification Procedures for Products, 

Articles, and Parts, subpart L, Export 

Airworthiness Approvals. 

(3) AC No. 45–2E, Identification and 

Registration Marking, provides 

information about Title 14, Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR), part 45, 

Identification and Registration Marking. 

This AC describes an acceptable means, 

but not the only means, to comply with 

the requirements for marking aircraft 

and aircraft engines with identification 

plates, marking of propellers, and 

marking aircraft with nationality and 

registration marks. 

Copies of these revised ACs were 

included in the docket along with the 

NPRM, and the FAA requested that 

members of the public submit any 

comments on or before May 28, 2014. 

However, due to erroneous information 

in the docket, commenters on the ACs 

were led to believe they could not file 

their comments on the ACs during the 

comment period. Therefore, to ensure 

that the public has the opportunity to 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 245 / Monday, December 22, 2014 / Proposed Rules 76249 

provide comments specifically on the 

ACs posted in the docket (FAA–2013– 

0933), the FAA is opening a 30-day 

comment period to allow for comments 

on the referenced ACs only. The FAA 

will not accept or address comments on 

the NPRM because the comment period 

for the NPRM closed on May 28, 2014. 

Additional Information 

A. Comments Invited 

The FAA invites interested persons to 

participate in this request for comment 

by submitting written comments, data, 

or views. The most helpful comments 

should reference a specific portion of 

the AC, explain the reason for any 

recommended change, and include 

supporting data. To ensure the docket 

does not contain duplicate comments, 

commenters should send only one copy 

of written comments, or if comments are 

filed electronically, commenters should 

submit them only one time. All 

comments received on or before the 

closing date for comments will be 

considered by the FAA before we issue 

the final ACs. 

Proprietary or Confidential Business 

Information: Do not file proprietary or 

confidential business information in the 

docket. Such information must be sent 

or delivered directly to the person 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

document, and marked as proprietary or 

confidential. If submitting information 

on a disk or CD–ROM, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD–ROM, and identify 

electronically within the disk or CD– 

ROM the specific information that is 

proprietary or confidential. 

Under 14 CFR 11.35(b), if the FAA is 

aware of proprietary information filed 

with a comment, the agency does not 

place it in the docket. It is held in a 

separate file to which the public does 

not have access, and the FAA places a 

note in the docket that it has received 

it. If the FAA receives a request to 

examine or copy this information, it 

treats it as any other request under the 

Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 

552). The FAA processes such a request 

under the DOT procedures found in 49 

CFR part 7.

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Coquille River, Coos Bay, OR 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to 

change the operating schedule that 

governs the U.S. 101 highway 

drawbridge also known as Bullard’s 

Drawbridge, near Coos Bay, Oregon. The 

proposed change would allow the 

drawbridge to permanently remain in 

the closed position, no longer opening 

for vessel traffic. While there is vessel 

traffic on this waterway, no one has 

requested a drawbridge opening since 

1998. Oregon Department of 

Transportation (ODOT) owns the bridge 

and requested to update the operating 

schedule accordingly. 

DATES: Comments and related material 

must reach the Coast Guard on or before 

February 20, 2015. Requests for public 

meetings must be received by the Coast 

Guard on or before January 21, 2015.
