SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would
apply to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model
CL–600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700,
701, & 702) airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on
May 10, 2016 (81 FR 28768) (‘‘the
NPRM’’). The NPRM was prompted by
two in-service incidents of a loss of all
air data information in the flight deck.
The NPRM proposed to require a
revision of the AFM emergency
procedures section to provide
procedures to guide the crew on how to
stabilize the airplane airspeed and
attitude for continued safe flight when
a loss of all air data information has
occurred in the flight deck. We are
issuing this AD to prevent loss of
control when a loss of all air data
information has occurred in the flight
deck.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation
(TCCA), which is the aviation authority
for Canada, has issued Canadian
Airworthiness Directive CF–2015–20,
dated July 21, 2015 (referred to after this
as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the
MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition
for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL–
600–2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701,
& 702) airplanes. The MCAI states:
Two in-service incidents have been
reported on CL–600–2C10 aeroplanes
regarding a loss of all air data information in
the cockpit. The air data information was
recovered as the aeroplane descended to
lower altitudes. An investigation determined
that the root cause in both events was high
altitude icing (ice crystal contamination). If
PO 00000
Frm 00017
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

not addressed, this condition may affect
continued safe flight.
Due to similarities in the air data systems,
such events could happen on all Bombardier
CRJ models, CL–600–2B19, CL–600–2C10,
CL–600–2D15, CL–600–2D24 and CL–600–
2E25. Therefore, the corrective actions for
these models will be mandated once their
respective Airplane Flight Manual (AFM)
revisions become available.
This [Canadian] AD mandates the
incorporation of AFM procedures to guide
the crew to stabilize the aeroplane’s airspeed
and attitude for continued safe flight.
You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket on the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov by searching for
and locating Docket No. FAA–2016–
6415.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. We
received no comments on the NPRM 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 except for minor editorial
changes. We have determined that these
minor changes:
• Are consistent with the intent that
was proposed in the NPRM for
correcting the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1
CFR Part 51
Bombardier, Inc. has issued Section
03–19, ‘‘Unreliable Airspeed,’’ of
Chapter 3, ‘‘Emergency Procedures,’’ in
the Bombardier CRJ Series Regional Jet
Model CL–600–2C10 Airplane Flight
Manual CSP B–012, Revision 16A, dated
November 6, 2015. The service
information describes procedures to
guide the crew to stabilize the airplane’s
airspeed and attitude for continued safe
flight when a loss of all air data
information has occurred in the flight
deck. This service information is
reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business
or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

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.
We are issuing this rulemaking under
the authority described in ‘‘Subtitle VII,
Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701:
General requirements.’’ Under that
section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in
air commerce by prescribing regulations
for practices, methods, and procedures
the Administrator finds necessary for
safety in air commerce. This regulation
is within the scope of that authority
because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on
products identified in this rulemaking
action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this AD will not
have federalism implications under
Executive Order 13132. This AD will
not have a substantial direct effect on
the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I
certify that this AD:
1. Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ under Executive Order 12866;
2. Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under the
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in
Alaska; and
4. Will not have a significant
economic impact, positive or negative,
on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act.

Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Federal Trade
Commission (the ‘‘Commission’’ or
‘‘FTC’’) is amending its Telemarketing
Sales Rule (‘‘TSR’’) by updating the fees
charged to entities accessing the
National Do Not Call Registry (the
‘‘Registry’’) as required by the Do-NotCall Registry Fee Extension Act of 2007.
DATES: The revised fees will become
effective October 1, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Copies of this document are
available on the Internet at the
Commission’s Web site: https://
www.ftc.gov.

Joy Dziekan, (202) 326–2648, BCP,
Federal Trade Commission, 600
Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Room CC–
9225, Washington, DC 20580.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: To comply
with the Do-Not-Call Registry Fee
Extension Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110–188,
122 Stat. 635) (‘‘Act’’), the Commission
is amending the TSR by updating the
fees entities are charged for accessing
the Registry as follows: The revised rule
increases the annual fee for access to the
Registry for each area code of data from
$60 to $61 per area code; increases the
maximum amount that will be charged
to any single entity for accessing area
codes of data from $16,482 to $16,714;
and the fee per area code of data during
the second six months of an entity’s
annual subscription period remains $30.
These increases are in accordance
with the Act, which specifies that
beginning after fiscal year 2009, the
dollar amounts charged shall be
increased by an amount equal to the
amounts specified in the Act, multiplied
by the percentage (if any) by which the
average of the monthly consumer price
index (for all urban consumers
published by the Department of Labor)
(‘‘CPI’’) for the most recently ended 12month period ending on June 30
exceeds the CPI for the 12-month period
ending June 30, 2008. The Act also
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:15 Aug 30, 2016
Jkt 238001
states that any increase shall be rounded
to the nearest dollar and that there shall
be no increase in the dollar amounts if
the change in the CPI is less than one
percent. For fiscal year 2009, the Act
specified that the original annual fee for
access to the Registry for each area code
of data was $54 per area code, or $27
per area code of data during the second
six months of an entity’s annual
subscription period, and that the
maximum amount that would be
charged to any single entity for
accessing area codes of data would be
$14,850.
The determination whether a fee
change is required and the amount of
the fee change involves a two-step
process. First, to determine whether a
fee change is required, we measure the
change in the CPI from the time of the
previous increase in fees. The last fees
increase was for fiscal year 2015.
Accordingly, we calculated the change
in the CPI since fiscal year 2015, and the
increase was 1.41 percent. Because this
change is over the one percent
threshold, the fees will change for fiscal
year 2017.
Second, to determine how much the
fees should increase this fiscal year, we
use the calculation specified by the Act
set forth above, the percentage change in
the baseline CPI applied to the original
fees for fiscal year 2009. The average
value of the CPI for July 1, 2007 to June
30, 2008 was 211.702; the average value
for July 1, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was
238.276, an increase of 12.55 percent.
Applying the 12.55 percent increase to
the base amount from fiscal year 2009,
leads to an increase from $60 to $61 in
the fee from last year for access to a
single area code of data for a full year
for fiscal year 2017. The actual amount
is $60.78, but when rounded, pursuant
to the Act, the amount is $61. The fee
for accessing an additional area code for
a half year remains $30 (rounded from
$30.39). The maximum amount charged
increases to $16,714 (rounded from
$16,713.68).
Administrative Procedure Act;
Regulatory Flexibility Act; Paperwork
Reduction Act. The revisions to the Fee
Rule are technical in nature and merely
incorporate statutory changes to the
TSR. These statutory changes have been
adopted without change or
interpretation, making public comment
unnecessary. Therefore, the Commission
has determined that the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 553(b). For this
reason, the requirements of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act also do not
apply. See 5 U.S.C. 603, 604.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.
Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 10, 2016 (81 FR 28768)
(``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by two in-service incidents of a
loss of all air data information in the flight deck. The NPRM proposed
to require a revision of the AFM emergency procedures section to
provide procedures to guide the crew on how to stabilize the airplane
airspeed and attitude for continued safe flight when a loss of all air
data information has occurred in the flight deck. We are issuing this
AD to prevent loss of control when a loss of all air data information
has occurred in the flight deck.
Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-20, dated July 21, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes. The MCAI states:
Two in-service incidents have been reported on CL-600-2C10
aeroplanes regarding a loss of all air data information in the
cockpit. The air data information was recovered as the aeroplane
descended to lower altitudes. An investigation determined that the
root cause in both events was high altitude icing (ice crystal
contamination). If not addressed, this condition may affect
continued safe flight.
Due to similarities in the air data systems, such events could
happen on all Bombardier CRJ models, CL-600-2B19, CL-600-2C10, CL-
600-2D15, CL-600-2D24 and CL-600-2E25. Therefore, the corrective
actions for these models will be mandated once their respective
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) revisions become available.
This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of AFM procedures
to guide the crew to stabilize the aeroplane's airspeed and attitude
for continued safe flight.

Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM 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 except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51
Bombardier, Inc. has issued Section 03-19, ``Unreliable Airspeed,''
of Chapter 3, ``Emergency Procedures,'' in the Bombardier CRJ Series
Regional Jet Model CL-600-2C10 Airplane Flight Manual CSP B-012,
Revision 16A, dated November 6, 2015. The service information describes
procedures to guide the crew to stabilize the airplane's airspeed and
attitude for continued safe flight when a loss of all air data
information has occurred in the flight deck. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section.
Costs of Compliance
We estimate that this AD affects 269 airplanes of U.S. registry.
We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

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.
We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
Regulatory Findings
We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
