Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 159 / Tuesday, August 18, 2015 / Proposed Rules
processed as defined in FMVSS
571.214.
2.4. Pelvic: The pubic symphysis
force measured by the ES–2re ATD must
not exceed 1,350 lbs (6,000 N). Data
must be processed as defined in FMVSS
571.214.
2.5. Leg: Axial rotation of the upper
leg (femur) must be limited to 35
degrees in either direction from the
nominal seated position.
2.6. Neck: As measured by the ES–2re
ATD and filtered at CFC 600 as defined
in SAE J211:
2.6.1. The upper-neck tension force at
the occipital condyle (O.C.) location
must be less than 405 lb (1,800 N).
2.6.2. The upper-neck compression
force at the O.C. location must be less
than 405 lb (1,800 N).
2.6.3. The upper-neck bending torque
about the ATD x-axis at the O.C.
location must be less than 1,018 in.-lb
(115 N-m).
2.6.4. The upper-neck resultant shear
force at the O.C. location must be less
than 186 lb (825 N).
2.7. Occupant (ES–2re ATD)
retention: The pelvic restraint must
remain on the ES–2re ATD’s pelvis
during the impact and rebound phases
of the test. The upper-torso restraint
straps (if present) must remain on the
ATD’s shoulder during the impact.
2.8. Occupant (ES–2re ATD) support:
2.8.1. Pelvis excursion: The loadbearing portion of the bottom of the
ATD pelvis must not translate beyond
the edges of its seat’s bottom seatcushion supporting structure.
2.8.2. Upper-torso support: The lateral
flexion of the ATD torso must not
exceed 40 degrees from the normal
upright position during the impact.
3. For seats with an airbag system,
show that the airbag system will deploy
and provide protection under crash
conditions where it is necessary to
prevent serious injury. The means of
protection must take into consideration
a range of stature from a 2-year-old child
to 95th percentile male. The airbag
system must provide a consistent
approach to energy absorption
throughout that range of occupants.
When the seat systems include airbag
systems, the systems must be included
in each of the certification tests as they
would be installed in the airplane. In
addition, the following situations must
be considered:
3.1. The seat occupant is holding an
infant.
3.2. The seat occupant is a pregnant
woman.
4. The airbag systems must provide
adequate protection for each occupant
regardless of the number of occupants of
the seat assembly, considering that
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:36 Aug 17, 2015
Jkt 235001
unoccupied seats may have an active
airbag system.
5. The design must prevent the airbag
systems from being either incorrectly
buckled or incorrectly installed, such
that the airbag systems would not
properly deploy. Alternatively, it must
be shown that such deployment is not
hazardous to the occupant and will
provide the required injury protection.
6. It must be shown that the airbag
system is not susceptible to inadvertent
deployment as a result of wear and tear,
or inertial loads resulting from in-flight
or ground maneuvers (including gusts
and hard landings), and other operating
and environment conditions (vibrations,
moisture, etc.) likely to occur in service.
7. Deployment of the airbag system
must not introduce injury mechanisms
to the seated occupant, nor result in
injuries that could impede rapid egress.
This assessment should include an
occupant whose restraint is loosely
fastened.
8. It must be shown that inadvertent
deployment of the airbag system, during
the most critical part of the flight, will
either meet the requirement of
§ 25.1309(b) or not cause a hazard to the
airplane or its occupants.
9. It must be shown that the airbag
system will not impede rapid egress of
occupants 10 seconds after airbag
deployment.
10. The airbag systems must be
protected from lightning and highintensity radiated fields (HIRF). The
threats to the airplane specified in
existing regulations regarding lighting,
§ 25.1316, and HIRF, § 25.1317 apply to
these special conditions for the purpose
of measuring lightning and HIRF
protection.
11. The airbag system must function
properly after loss of normal airplane
electrical power, and after a transverse
separation of the fuselage at the most
critical location. A separation at the
location of the airbag systems does not
have to be considered.
12. It must be shown that the airbag
system will not release hazardous
quantities of gas or particulate matter
into the cabin.
13. The airbag system installations
must be protected from the effects of fire
such that no hazard to occupants will
result.
14. A means must be available for a
crew member to verify the integrity of
the airbag system’s activation system
prior to each flight, or it must be
demonstrated to reliably operate
between inspection intervals. The FAA
considers that the loss of the airbagsystem deployment function alone (i.e.,
independent of the conditional event
that requires the airbag-system
PO 00000

deployment) is a major-failure
condition.
15. The inflatable material may not
have an average burn rate of greater than
2.5 inches/minute when tested using the
horizontal flammability test defined in
14 CFR part 25, appendix F, part I,
paragraph (b)(5).
16. The airbag system, once deployed,
must not adversely affect the emergency
lighting system (e.g., block floor
proximity lights to the extent that the
lights no longer meet their intended
function).

AGENCY:
The Office of Workers’
Compensation Programs (OWCP)
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking and companion direct final
rule in the Federal Register on March
12, 2015, broadening the acceptable
methods by which claimants,
employers, and insurers can
communicate with OWCP and each
other regarding claims arising under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act and its extensions.
The comment period closed on May 11,
2015. OWCP did not receive significant
adverse comment and therefore the
direct final rule took effect on June 10,
2015. For these reasons, OWCP is
withdrawing the notice of proposed
rulemaking.
DATES: Effective August 18, 2015, the
notice of proposed rulemaking
published on March 12, 2015 (80 FR

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March
12, 2015, OWCP published a notice of
proposed rulemaking revising 20 CFR
parts 702 and 703 to broaden the
acceptable methods by which claimants,
employers, and insurers can
communicate with OWCP and each
other regarding claims arising under the
Longshore and Harbor Workers’
Compensation Act and its extensions.
(80 FR 12957). On the same date, OWCP
published a direct final rule containing
identical revisions because it believed
that the proposed revisions were noncontroversial and unlikely to generate
significant adverse comment. (80 FR
12917). OWCP indicated that if it did
not receive any significant adverse
comments on either rule by May 11,
2015, the direct final rule would take
effect and there would be no further
need to proceed with the notice of
proposed rulemaking. (See 80 FR 12918,
12957–58).
OWCP received two public comments
that were not significant adverse
comments. One expressed support for
the proposed rule and the other did not
substantively address the rule. Because
OWCP did not receive any significant
adverse comments within the specified
comment period, it is withdrawing the
notice of proposed rulemaking with this
notice. For the same reason, OWCP is
also confirming that the direct final rule
took effect on June 10, 2015.

I. Background
The TCCUA authorizes grants for
operating and improving tribally
controlled colleges and universities to
insure [sic] continued and expanded
educational opportunities for Indian
students and to allow for the
improvement and expansion of the
physical resources of such institutions.
See, 25 U.S.C. 1801 et seq. The TCCUA
also authorizes grants for the
encouragement of endowment funds for
the operation and improvement of
tribally controlled colleges and
universities. The NCCA authorizes
grants to the Navajo Nation to assist in
the construction, maintenance, and
´
operation of Dine College. See 25 U.S.C.
640a et seq.
In 1968, the Navajo Nation created the
first tribally controlled college, now
´
called Dine College—and other tribal
colleges quickly followed in California,
North Dakota, and South Dakota. Today,
there are 37 tribally controlled colleges
in 17 states. The tribally controlled
institutions were chartered by one or
more tribes and are locally managed.
Tribally controlled colleges generally
serve geographically isolated
populations. In a relatively brief period
of time, they have become essential to
educational opportunity for American
Indian students. Tribally controlled
colleges are unique institutions that
combine personal attention with
cultural relevance, in such a way as to
encourage American Indians—
especially those living on reservations—
to overcome barriers to higher
education.
II. Purpose of the Proposed Rule
The regulations at 25 CFR part 41
were originally published in 1979. See,
44 FR 67042 dated November 21, 1979.
