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 26JAR1 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.

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.

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 
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

[[Page 3866]]

compatibility category ``NRC'' for Sec.  37.43(d)(1) to read ``C''.
    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.

    Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 20th day of January 2015.

    For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
