SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Confirmation of Effective Date 

On September 30, 2014 (79 FR 58664), 

the NRC published a direct final rule 

amending its regulations in parts 30, 37, 

73, and 150 of Title 10 of the Code of 

Federal Regulations (10 CFR) by 

removing the SGI–M designation of the 

security-related information for large 

irradiators, manufacturer and 

distributors, and for transport of 

category 1 quantities of radioactive 

material. The direct final rule also 

removed the SGI–M designation of the 

security-related information for the 

transportation of irradiated reactor fuel 

that weighs 100 grams or less in net 

weight of irradiated fuel. The securityrelated information for these facilities 

and the transportation of certain 

materials will no longer be designated 

as SGI–M and will be protected under 

the information protection requirements 

that apply to other materials licensees 

that possess category 1 and category 2 

quantities of radioactive material. 

In the direct final rule, the NRC stated 

that if no significant adverse comments 

were received, the direct final rule 

would become effective on January 28, 

2015. The NRC received one public 

comment from an anonymous 

commenter (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML14302A494) on the companion 

proposed rule. The commenter stated 

that the rule should be amended 

because it will require an additional 

information protection requirement on 

the product. The commenter also stated 

that the additional requirement would 

be needed so that the information 

relating to the product ‘‘would not get 

leaked.’’ The NRC staff reviewed this 

comment and concluded that this 

comment is not a significant adverse 

comment as defined in NUREG–BR– 

0053, Revision 6, ‘‘United States 

Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Regulations Handbook’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML052720461), because 

the comment does not present a reason 

or issue that warrants a substantive 

response. The comment does not aid the 

NRC’s understanding of any concern 

with the NRC’s decision to remove the 

SGI–M designations from some 

categories of information. Information 

that merits protection now falls within 

the information protection provisions of 

10 CFR part 37. Therefore, this direct 

final rule will become effective as 

scheduled. 

II. Availability of Guidance 

The NRC is issuing revised NUREG– 

2155 (Rev 1), ‘‘Implementation 

Guidance of 10 CFR part 37, ‘Physical 

Protection of Category 1 and Category 2 

Quantities of Radioactive Material,’ ’’ to 

conform the guidance to the direct final 

rule by removing references to the SGI– 

M designation and to make minor 

editorial changes and updates. The 

guidance is available in ADAMS under 

Accession No. ML15016A172. 

III. Direct Final Rule; Correction 

In the Federal Register (FR) on 

September 30, 2014, in FR Doc. 2014– 

23256, on page 58669, the following 

corrections are made to the table 

entitled, ‘‘Compatibility Table for Direct 

Final Rule:’’ 

1. In the column entitled, ‘‘Existing,’’ 

in the seventh row, correct the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
3866 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 16 / Monday, January 26, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

compatibility category ‘‘NRC’’ for 

§ 37.43(d)(1) to read ‘‘C’’. 

2. In the column entitled, ‘‘New,’’ in 

the seventh row, add compatibility 

category ‘‘C’’ for § 37.43(d)(1). 

These minor and administrative 

changes correct an error in the original 

document and do not change the 

substantive responsibilities of any 

person or entity regulated by the NRC.

of January 2015.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: We are superseding 

Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2011–13– 

09 for all Airbus Model A330–200, 

–200F, and –300 series airplanes. AD 

2011–13–09 required revising the 

maintenance program to incorporate 

new limitations and maintenance tasks 

for certain certification management 

requirements (CMRs). This new AD 

requires revising the maintenance or 

inspection program to incorporate new 

maintenance requirements and 

airworthiness limitations. This AD was 

prompted by a determination that more 

restrictive maintenance requirements 

and airworthiness limitations are 

necessary. We are issuing this AD to 

prevent safety-significant latent failures 

that would, in combination with one or 

more other specific failures or events, 

result in a hazardous or catastrophic 

failure condition. 

DATES: This AD becomes effective 

March 2, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain publication listed in this AD 

as of March 2, 2015. 

The Director of the Federal Register 

approved the incorporation by reference 

of a certain other publication listed in 

this AD as of August 1, 2011 (76 FR 

37255, June 27, 2011).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Discussion 

We issued a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR 

part 39 to supersede AD 2011–13–09, 

Amendment 39–16732 (76 FR 37255, 

June 27, 2011). AD 2011–13–09 applied 

to all Airbus Model A330–200, –200F, 

and –300 series airplanes. The NPRM 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 26, 2014 (79 FR 50869). 

The European Aviation Safety Agency 

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent 

for the Member States of the European 

Community, has issued EASA 

Airworthiness Directive 2013–0245, 

dated October 2, 2013 (referred to after 

this as the Mandatory Continuing 

Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the 

MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition 

for all Airbus Model A330–200, –200F, 

and –300 series airplanes. The MCAI 

states: 

The airworthiness limitations are currently 

distributed in the Airbus A330 Airworthiness 

Limitations Section (ALS). 

The mandatory instructions and 

airworthiness limitations applicable to the 

Certification Maintenance Requirements 

(CMR) are specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3, which is approved by the European 

Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). 

The revision 04 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 

3 introduces more restrictive maintenance 

requirements and/or airworthiness 

limitations. Failure to comply with this 

revision constitutes an unsafe condition. 

For the reason described above, this new 

AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 

2010–0264 [(http://ad.easa.europa.eu/blob/

easa_ad_2010_0264.pdf)], which is 

superseded, and requires the implementation 

of the maintenance requirements as specified 

in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 revision 04. 

You may examine the MCAI in the 

AD docket on the Internet at http://

www.regulations.gov/#!document

Detail;D=FAA-2014-0587-0002. 

Comments 

We gave the public the opportunity to 

participate in developing this AD. We 

received no comments on the NPRM (79 

FR 50869, August 26, 2014) or on the 

determination of the cost to the public. 

Conclusion 

We reviewed the relevant data and 

determined that air safety and the 

public interest require adopting this AD 

as proposed, with minor editorial 

changes. We have determined that these 

minor changes: 

• Are consistent with the intent that 

was proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 

50869, August 26, 2014) for correcting 

the unsafe condition; and 

• Do not add any additional burden 

upon the public than was already 

proposed in the NPRM (79 FR 50869, 

August 26, 2014). 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this AD affects 76 

airplanes of U.S. registry. 

The actions required by AD 2011–13– 

09, Amendment 39–16732 (76 FR 

37255, June 27, 2011), and retained in 

this AD take about 1 work-hour per 

product, at an average labor rate of $85 

per work-hour. Based on these figures, 

the estimated cost of the actions that 

were required by AD 2011–13–09 is $85 

per product. 

We also estimate that it will take 

about 1 work-hour per product to 

comply with the new basic 

requirements of this AD. The average 

labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based 

on these figures, we estimate the cost of 

this AD on U.S. operators to be $6,460, 

or $85 per product. 

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.
