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
PO 00000
Frm 00001
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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
E:\FR\FM\26JAR1.SGM

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.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
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

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).
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 [(https://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 https://
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.

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 security-related
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

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

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

2. In the column entitled, ``New,'' in the seventh row, add
compatibility category ``C'' for Sec. 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.
