II. Discussion On July 22, 2019, the NRC solicited comments on a draft regulatory basis ‘‘Regulatory Basis for the Disposal of Greater-than-Class C (GTCC) Waste,’’ to support the development of a rulemaking for the disposal of certain types of greater-than-Class-C waste in a low-level radioactive waste land disposal facility. The draft regulatory basis evaluates which GTCC waste streams could be safely disposed in a near-surface disposal facility and what type of regulatory changes would need to be considered to permit such action. In addition, the draft regulatory basis evaluates whether disposal of GTCC waste presents a hazard such that the NRC should retain authority over its disposal and not allow any Agreement State licensing over such a disposal. The public comment period was originally scheduled to close on September 20, 2019. In response to multiple requests, the NRC is extending the public comment period on this document until November 19, 2019, to allow more time for members of the public to submit their comments.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). AGENCY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017–19–14 and AD 2014–16–27, which apply to certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. Those ADs require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2017–19–14 and AD 2014–16–27, the FAA determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. This proposed AD would require revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 28, 2019. ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR 11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to https://www.regulations.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tom Rodriguez, Aerospace Engineer, International Section, Transport Standards Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; telephone and fax 206–231–3226. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Comments Invited The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ‘‘Docket No. FAA–2019–0697; Product Identifier 2019–NM–110–AD’’ at the beginning of your comments. The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed AD based on those comments. The FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https:// www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact received about this proposed AD. Discussion The FAA issued AD 2017–19–14, Amendment 39–19044 (82 FR 43674, September 19, 2017) (‘‘AD 2017–19– 14’’), for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. AD 2017–19–14 requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations. AD 2017–19–14 resulted from a determination that new or more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness limitations are necessary. AD 2017–19–14 specifies that accomplishing the actions required by that AD would terminate the requirements of AD 2014–16–27, Amendment 39–17951 (79 FR 51071, August 27, 2014) (‘‘AD 2014–16–27’’) but it did not supersede AD 2014–16– 27. In addition, AD 2014–16–27 specifies that accomplishing paragraph (g) of that AD would terminate the requirements of paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2010–26–05, Amendment 39–16544 (75 FR 79952, December 21, 2010), for Dassault Aviation Model 900EX airplanes, serial number (S/N) 97 and S/ N 120 and higher. This terminating provision of certain requirements of AD 2010–26–05 is part of this proposed AD. This AD proposes to supersede AD 2017–19–14 and AD 2014–16–27 but does not propose to supersede AD 2010–26–05. Actions Since AD 2017–19–14 and AD 2014–16–27 Were Issued Since the FAA issued AD 2017–19–14 and AD 2014–16–27, the FAA has determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD 2019–0134, dated June 11, 2019 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ‘‘the MCAI’’), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. The MCAI states: The airworthiness limitations for certain Falcon 900EX aeroplanes, which are approved by EASA, are currently defined and published in Dassault Falcon 900EX Easy/ 900LX/900DX AMM [Airplane Maintenance Manual], Chapter 5–40. These instructions have been identified as mandatory for continued airworthiness. Failure to accomplish these instructions could result in an unsafe condition. EASA previously issued AD 2016–0129 (which corresponds to FAA AD 2017–19–14), requiring the actions described in Dassault Falcon 900EX Easy/900LX/900DX AMM Chapter 5–40 (DGT113875) at Revision 9. Since that [EASA] AD was issued, Dassault published Revisions 10 and 11 of Dassault Falcon 900EX Easy/900LX/900DX AMM Chapter 5–40 (DGT113875). Revision 11 contains new and/or more restrictive maintenance tasks. For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD retains the requirements of EASA AD 2016–0129, which is superseded, and E:\FR\FM\13SEP1.SGM 13SEP1
