Exercise of trust powers.
(a) Scope. This section contains the
procedures to be followed by a State
nonmember bank or State savings
association that seeks to obtain the
FDIC’s prior written consent to exercise
trust powers. The FDIC’s prior written
consent to exercise trust powers is not
required in the following circumstances:
(1) Where a State nonmember bank or
State savings association received
authority to exercise trust powers from
its chartering authority prior to
December 1, 1950; or
(2) Where the institution continues to
conduct trust activities pursuant to
authority granted by its chartering
authority subsequent to a charter
conversion or withdrawal from
membership in the Federal Reserve
System.
(b) Where to file. Applicants shall
submit to the appropriate FDIC office a
completed form, ‘‘Application for
Consent to Exercise Trust Powers.’’ This
form may be obtained from any FDIC
regional director.
(c) Content of filing. The filing shall
consist of the completed trust
application form.
(d) Additional information. The FDIC
may request additional information at
any time during processing of the filing.
(e) Expedited processing for eligible
depository institutions. An application
filed under this section by an eligible
depository institution as defined in
§ 303.2(r) will be acknowledged in
writing by the FDIC and will receive
expedited processing, unless the
applicant is notified in writing to the
contrary and provided with the basis for
that decision. The FDIC may remove an
application from expedited processing
for any of the reasons set forth in
§ 303.11(c)(2.). Absent such removal, an
application processed under expedited
procedures will be deemed approved 30
days after the FDIC’s receipt of a
substantially complete application.
(f) Standard processing. For those
applications that are not processed
pursuant to the expedited procedures,
the FDIC will provide the applicant
with written notification of the final
action when the decision is rendered.

ACTION: Final rule; removal.
AGENCY:
We are removing
Airworthiness Directive (AD) 93–14–19,
which applied to certain The Boeing
Company Model 767–200 and –300
series airplanes. AD 93–14–19 required
inspections for disbonding of the
trailing edge wedge of the leading edge
slat; and repair, if necessary. We issued
AD 93–14–19 to prevent the loss of a
trailing edge wedge, which could result
in reduced maneuver margins, reduced
speed margins to stall, and unexpected
roll before stall warning, all of which
would adversely affect the
controllability of the airplane. Since we
issued AD 93–14–19, an updated
stability and control analysis showed
that the worst-case scenario of a trailing
edge wedge disbond in-flight would not
adversely affect the controllability of the
airplane. Accordingly, AD 93–14–19 is
removed.
DATES: This AD becomes effective
November 26, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by removing AD 93–14–19,
Amendment 39–8644 (58 FR 41177,
August 3, 1993) (‘‘AD 93–14–19’’). AD
93–14–19 applied to certain The Boeing
Company Model 767–200 and –300
series airplanes. The NPRM published
in the Federal Register on July 17, 2018
(83 FR 33162) (‘‘the NPRM’’). The
NPRM was prompted by an updated
stability and control analysis that
showed the worst-case scenario of a
trailing edge wedge disbond in-flight
would not adversely affect the
controllability of the airplane. The
NPRM proposed to remove AD 93–14–
19. We are issuing this AD to remove
AD 93–14–19.
wedge is insufficient to be considered
an airplane-level safety item. The
updated data shows that there is
sufficient lateral control up to stick
shaker to counter any rolling moment
caused by a missing or damaged slat
wedge. Therefore, we have not changed
this AD in this regard.
Request to Rescind Similar AD on
another Airplane Model
DAL asked if AD 2017–22–12,
Amendment 39–19092 (82 FR 55027,
November 20, 2017) (‘‘AD 2017–22–
12’’), would also be considered for
rescission. DAL reasoned that AD 2017–
22–12 required, among other things,
inspection of the same structure (the
trailing edge slat wedge of the leading
edge slats) on The Boeing Company
Model 757 series airplanes for the same
reason (disbonding of slats) as AD 93–
14–19.
We agree to clarify. We do not find it
appropriate to rescind AD 2017–22–12
at this time. The flight characteristics of
The Boeing Company Model 757 series
airplanes are different than the flight
characteristics of The Boeing Company
Model 767 series airplanes, and the
stability and control analysis of the one
model does not transfer to the other
model. However, if new data indicates
that the identified unsafe condition no
longer exists on Model 757 airplanes,
we might consider additional
rulemaking at that time. We have not
changed this AD in this regard.
Request to Withdraw the NPRM
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comments received, 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
addressing the unsafe condition; and
• Do not add any additional burden
upon the public than was already
proposed in the NPRM.
Airline Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) stated that it
opposes the rescission of AD 93–14–19
because the FAA continues to issue
similar ADs effective to other airplanes.
ALPA also noted that the required
actions of AD 93–14–19 are relatively
low cost.
From these statements, we infer that
ALPA was requesting that we withdraw
the NPRM. We do not agree with the
commenter’s request. Updated stability
and control data for the affected
airplanes shows that damage and
disbonding of the leading edge slat
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
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to
participate in developing this AD. The
following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA’s
response to each comment.
Support for the NPRM
Boeing and Delta Air Lines (DAL)
stated their support for the proposed
AD. United Airlines stated that it has no
objection to the proposed rule.

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.
This AD is issued in accordance with
authority delegated by the Executive
Director, Aircraft Certification Service,
as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C.
In accordance with that order, issuance
of ADs is normally a function of the
Compliance and Airworthiness
Division, but during this transition
period, the Executive Director has
delegated the authority to issue ADs
applicable to transport category
airplanes and associated appliances to
the Director of the System Oversight
Division.
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.

We issued AD 93-14-19 to prevent the loss of a trailing edge wedge,
which could result in reduced maneuver margins, reduced speed margins
to stall, and unexpected roll before stall warning, all of which would
adversely affect the controllability of the airplane. Since we issued

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Discussion
We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by removing AD 93-14-19, Amendment 39-8644 (58 FR 41177, August
3, 1993) (``AD 93-14-19''). AD 93-14-19 applied to certain The Boeing
Company Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on July 17, 2018 (83 FR 33162) (``the NPRM''). The
NPRM was prompted by an updated stability and control analysis that
showed the worst-case scenario of a trailing edge wedge disbond in-
flight would not adversely affect the controllability of the airplane.
The NPRM proposed to remove AD 93-14-19. We are issuing this AD to
remove AD 93-14-19.
Comments
We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the NPRM and
the FAA's response to each comment.
Support for the NPRM
Boeing and Delta Air Lines (DAL) stated their support for the
proposed AD. United Airlines stated that it has no objection to the
proposed rule.
Request to Withdraw the NPRM
Airline Pilots Association, International (ALPA) stated that it
opposes the rescission of AD 93-14-19 because the FAA continues to
issue similar ADs effective to other airplanes. ALPA also noted that
the required actions of AD 93-14-19 are relatively low cost.
From these statements, we infer that ALPA was requesting that we
withdraw the NPRM. We do not agree with the commenter's request.
Updated stability and control data for the affected airplanes shows
that damage and disbonding of the leading edge slat wedge is
insufficient to be considered an airplane-level safety item. The
updated data shows that there is sufficient lateral control up to stick
shaker to counter any rolling moment caused by a missing or damaged
slat wedge. Therefore, we have not changed this AD in this regard.
Request to Rescind Similar AD on another Airplane Model
DAL asked if AD 2017-22-12, Amendment 39-19092 (82 FR 55027,
November 20, 2017) (``AD 2017-22-12''), would also be considered for
rescission. DAL reasoned that AD 2017-22-12 required, among other
things, inspection of the same structure (the trailing edge slat wedge
of the leading edge slats) on The Boeing Company Model 757 series
airplanes for the same reason (disbonding of slats) as AD 93-14-19.
We agree to clarify. We do not find it appropriate to rescind AD
2017-22-12 at this time. The flight characteristics of The Boeing
Company Model 757 series airplanes are different than the flight
characteristics of The Boeing Company Model 767 series airplanes, and
the stability and control analysis of the one model does not transfer
to the other model. However, if new data indicates that the identified
unsafe condition no longer exists on Model 757 airplanes, we might
consider additional rulemaking at that time. We have not changed this
AD in this regard.
Conclusion
We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
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 addressing the unsafe condition; and
Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
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.
This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.
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.
