Airworthiness Directives; NZSkydive Limited (Type Certificate
Previously Held by Pacific Aerospace Ltd.) Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
NZSkydive Limited (type certificate previously held by Pacific
Aerospace Ltd.) Model FBA-2C1, FBA-2C2, FBA-2C3, and FBA-2C4 airplanes.
This AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as a batch of aileron control
chain sprockets being manufactured with a non-metallic sleeve insert in
the sprocket bore, which can cause cracks to develop and affect the
integrity of the aileron control chain sprockets. This AD requires
inspecting the sprockets to determine if they have a non-metallic
sleeve in the sprocket bore and replacing any sprocket found with a
non-metallic sleeve in the sprocket bore with one with a metallic
sleeve, and prohibits installation of aileron control chain sprockets
with non-metallic sleeves in the sprocket bore. The FAA is issuing this
AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 9, 2022.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by December 9, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Background

    The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of New Zealand, which is the
aviation authority for New Zealand, has issued CAA of New Zealand AD
DCA/FBA/5, dated September 23, 2022 (referred to after this as ``the
MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on Pacific Aerospace (the type
certificate holder on the FAA type certificate data sheet is NZSkydive
Limited) Model FBA-2C1, FBA-2C2, FBA-2C3, and FBA-2C4 airplanes
delivered after November 2012, fitted with an aileron control chain
sprocket part number (P/N) C446 received and installed after November
2012, and sprockets with P/N C446 received after November 2012 as spare
parts for all serial numbers. The MCAI states that it was prompted by
reports of cracks found at the roll pin holes in an affected batch of
sprockets having P/N C446 that were manufactured with non-metallic
sleeve inserts in the sprocket bore. These cracks can affect the
integrity of the aileron control chain sprockets and have the potential
to produce binding of the aileron flight controls. The unsafe
condition, if not addressed, could lead to loss of integrity of the
aileron control chain sprockets with consequent loss of control of the
airplane.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1310.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service Bulletin
PACSB/2C/002, Issue 1, dated September 20, 2022, which specifies
inspecting the aileron control chain sprockets to determine if they
have a non-metallic sleeve in the sprocket bore and replacing any
aileron control chain sprocket found with a non-metallic sleeve in the
sprocket bore with one with a metallic sleeve.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI and service information described above. The FAA is issuing
this AD after determining that the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires inspecting the aileron control chain sprockets to
determine if they have a non-metallic sleeve in the sprocket bore and
replacing any sprocket found with a non-metallic sleeve in the sprocket
bore with one with a metallic sleeve. This AD also prohibits the
installation of aileron control chain sprockets with non-metallic
sleeves in the sprocket bore.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    The MCAI refers to the design approval holder as Pacific Aerospace,
and this AD refers to the design approval holder as NZSkydive Limited
because that is the name on the FAA type certificate.
    The MCAI references dates of delivery for the aileron control chain
sprockets (when the non-metallic sleeves were used) and this AD
requires an inspection to determine if non-metallic sleeves in the
sprocket bore are installed on all airplanes.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies foregoing notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because aileron control chain sprockets with a non-metallic sleeve
insert in the sprocket bore can develop cracks and affect the integrity
of the aileron control chain sprockets. Because this condition can
develop quickly and without advance warning and lead to loss of control
of the airplane, immediate action must be done before further flight.
Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment are
impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause to forego notice and
comment.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because the FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without prior notice and
comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates 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.
    The FAA is 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

    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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive:

2022-22-05 NZSkydive Limited (type certificate previously held by
Pacific Aerospace Ltd.): Amendment 39-22220; Docket No. FAA-2022-
1310; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-01261-A.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) is effective November 9, 2022.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    All NZSkydive Limited (type certificate previously held by
Pacific Aerospace Ltd.) Model FBA-2C1, FBA-2C2, FBA-2C3, and FBA-2C4
airplanes, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 2710, Aileron
Control System.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as a batch of
aileron control chain sprockets being manufactured with a non-
metallic sleeve insert in the sprocket bore, which can cause cracks
to develop and affect the integrity of the aileron control chain
sprockets. The FAA is issuing this AD to prevent cracks from forming
in the aileron control chain sprockets due to non-metallic sleeves
in the sprocket bore. These cracks can affect the integrity of the
aileron control chain sprockets and have the potential to produce
binding of the aileron flight controls. The unsafe condition, if not
addressed, could lead to loss of integrity of the aileron control
chain sprockets with consequent loss of control of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Action

    (1) Before further flight after the effective date of this AD,
remove the four aileron control chain sprockets in the control arm
and yoke assembly and inspect the sprockets to determine if a non-
metallic sleeve is fitted in the sprocket bore.
    (2) If a non-metallic sleeve is found fitted in any aileron
control chain sprocket bore, before further flight, replace the
affected aileron control chain sprocket with a part that does not
have a non-metallic sleeve.
    (3) As of the effective date of this AD, do not install an
aileron control chain sprocket part number C446, unless it has been
inspected by following paragraph (g)(1) of this AD and found to have
a metallic sleeve fitted in the sprocket bore.
    Note to paragraph (g): Pacific Aerospace Mandatory Service
Bulletin PACSB/2C/002, Issue 1, dated September 20, 2022, contains
information related to this subject.

    On August 22, 2008, the submittal of July 18, 2008 was found to
meet the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51, appendix V, which
must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of these rules?

    We approved the Rules 410 and 420 versions of NCUAQMD Rules 104.2
and 104.3 into the SIP on October 31, 1980 (45 FR 72147). We approved
the Rules 430 and 482 versions of NCUAQMD Rules 104.5 and 104.10 into
the SIP on August 2, 1978 (43 FR 33912).
    We approved the Rules 2-100, 2-200, 2-300, 2-400, 2-500, versions
of NCUAQMD Rules 200 through 208 into the SIP on January 29, 1985 (50
FR 3907). The Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C to the SIP rules
were approved on April 18, 1982 (47 FR 15784).

C. What are the purposes of the rule revisions?

    Section 110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit regulations
that control volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen,
particulate matter, and other air pollutants which harm human health
and the environment. These rules were developed as part of the local
agency's program to control these pollutants.
    The purpose of the amendment to NCUAQMD Rule 104.2 is as follows:
     104.2.3: A section is added to the rule to prohibit a
Kraft recovery furnace from discharging into the atmosphere gases with
greater than 20% opacity, except that this does not apply during
periods of start-up, shutdown, or breakdown of a Kraft recovery
furnace.
    The purposes of amendments to NCUAQMD Rule 104.3 are as follows:
     <IP_ADDRESS>.2: A provision is added to the rule to prohibit
the emissions of particulate matter from exceeding 0.025 grains per
standard cubic foot of exhaust gas from a new or modified Kraft
recovery furnace.
     <IP_ADDRESS>.1: A provision is added to the rule to prohibit
the emissions of particulate matter from exceeding 0.5 pounds per ton
of Kraft pulp mill production from any Kraft smelt dissolving tank.
     <IP_ADDRESS>.2: A provision is added to the rule to prohibit
the emissions of particulate matter from exceeding 0.2 pounds per ton
of black liquor solids from a new or modified Kraft smelt dissolving
tank.
     104.3.6: A formula is added to the rule to calculate
limits for particulate emissions from geothermal wells.
    The purpose of the amendment to NCUAQMD Rule 104.4 is as follows:
     104.4.1: The language of the prohibition on handling
materials with unnecessary emission of particulates was revised without
any change in meaning.
    The purposes of the amendments to NCUAQMD Rule 104.10 are as
follows:
     482.c.1 (SIP rule): The exemption for stationary tanks
installed prior to December 31, 1970 is removed.
     104.10.1: The reference to Federal New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS) for all tanks in excess of 40,000 gallons is changed
to Rule 104.11, ``Federal New Source Performance Standards.''
    The purposes of the amendments to SIP NCUAQMD Rules 2-100, 2-200,
2-300, 2-400, 2-500, Appendix A, Appendix B, and Appendix C are as
follows:
     These rules are completely revised in numbering, content,
and format to become NCUAQMD Rules 200 through 208.
     102.2.01 (SIP): The exemption for an imminent fire hazard
is removed.
     102.5 (SIP): The exemption for fires conducted in a
mechanized burner is removed.
     200.2.0: Sixteen new definitions were added to clarify new
features in the rule.
     200.2.9: A limited exemption is added for fire hazard
reduction by burning at multi-unit residential facilities and
commercial entities.
     200.2.9: An exemption is added for ceremonial fires.
     201: Provisions are added to base a Permissive-Burn Day
decision on meteorological conditions that will not cause a violation
of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards or cause excessive
transport of pollutants. A provision is added to the rules for a No-
Burn Day for burn barrels if the risk of a fire hazard is too great.
     202: Revisions to burn hours and the requirement to
provide notice of ignition are added.
     203: Prohibitions on the use of burn barrels are added in
certain portions of the District. Revisions to the rules include drying
requirements and the arrangement of burnable waste.
     204: Waste ignition requirements are added to the rule.
     205: Included is a revised requirement for a certificate
from the California Fish and Game stating that

agricultural burning for the sole purpose of habitat improvement is
proper.
     206: A prohibition is added for burning rubbish or garbage
at disposal sites. An allowance is added for the APCO to approve
burning of natural vegetation at disposal sites.
     207: An expanded section for Wildland Vegetation
Management Burning is provided that includes (a) a burn plan, (b) an
acreage limit per day, and (c) an advance permissive-burn notice.
     208: A Burn Registration Program is added for agricultural
or prescribed burning projects that includes (a) an annual registration
with the District of planned burn projects, (b) a daily burn
authorization system operated by the District, and (c) smoke management
planning that considers possible remedial actions on various burning
contingencies listed in the rule.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating the rules?

    Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the
CAA), and must not relax existing requirements (see sections 110(l) and
193). NCUAQMD is an attainment area for PM-10 and for 8-hr ozone
ambient air quality standards.
    Evaluation of the rules follows:
     NCUAQMD Rule 104.2: The rule improves the SIP, because the
rule stringency is increased by adding an opacity standard for
emissions from a Kraft recovery furnace. The rule is enforceable and
should be given full approval.
     NCUAQMD Rule 104.3: The rule improves the SIP, because
four provisions to limit particulate matter emissions from Kraft
process units and recovery wells are added to the rule to increase
stringency. The rule is enforceable and should be given full approval.
     NCUAQMD Rule 104.4: The rule improves the SIP by revising
language to improve clarity of requirements. The rule is enforceable
and should be given full approval.
     NCUAQMD Rule 104.10: The rule improves the SIP by removing
the exemption for tanks in excess of 40,000 gallons installed before
December 31, 1970. The rule enforceability by EPA may be limited,
because federal NSPS standards are referenced by NCUAQMD Rule 104.11,
``Federal NSPS,'' which is not in the SIP. References to rule
requirements should be in the SIP or in publications available to the
public. This enforceablility issue also existed in the current SIP rule
approved by EPA. Therefore, we will make a recommendation for
correction of the enforceability issue in a future revision of the
rule, which should be given full approval.
     NCUAQMD Rule 200-208: The rules improve the SIP by adding
various requirements to increase the stringency of the rules and by
improving clarity. The rules are enforceable and should be given full
approval.
    Guidance and policy documents that we used to help evaluate
specific enforceability requirements consistently include the
following:
    1. Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations, EPA (May 25, 1988). [The Bluebook]
    2. Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies, EPA Region 9 (August 21, 2001). [The Little Bluebook]

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?

    We believe that NCUAQMD Rules 104.2, 104.3, 104.4, 104.10, and 200
through 208 are consistent with the relevant policy and guidance
regarding enforceability and SIP relaxations and should be given full
approval.
    The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. EPA Recommendation to Further Improve Rules

    A recommendation is made in the TSD to improve NCUAQMD Rules 104.2
and 104.10 at the next rule revision without affecting the current
approvability.

D. Public Comment and Final Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the CAA, EPA is fully
approving NCUAQMD Rules 104.2, 104.3, 104.4, 104.10, and 200 through
208 because we believe they fulfill all relevant requirements. We do
not think anyone will object to this approval, so we are finalizing it
without proposing it in advance. However, in the Proposed Rules section
of this Federal Register, we are simultaneously proposing approval of
the same submitted rules. If we receive adverse comments by June 5,
2009, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to
notify the public that the direct final approval will not take effect
and we will address the comments in a subsequent final action based on
the proposal. If we do not receive timely adverse comments, the direct
final approval will be effective without further notice on July 6,
2009. This will incorporate these rules into the federally enforceable
SIP.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.

    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 6, 2009. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Commissioner's Orders for A.B. Brown
and Clifty Creek

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)
to EPA on January 27, 2016, and February 5, 2016, for parallel
processing. The submittal consists of orders issued by the Commissioner
of IDEM that require more stringent sulfur dioxide (SO2)
emissions limits than those currently contained in the SIP for
Vectren's A. B. Brown Generating Station (``A.B. Brown'') and Indiana-
Kentucky Electric Corporation's Clifty Creek Generating Station
(``Clifty Creek''). IDEM submitted these limits to enable the areas
near these generating stations to qualify for being designated
``attainment'' of the 2010 primary SO2 National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS), a matter that will be addressed in a
separate future rulemaking. EPA's approval of these revisions to the
Indiana SIP would make the Commissioner's orders' SO2
emissions limits federally enforceable.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 28, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Nos. EPA-R05-
OAR-2016-0075 for A.B. Brown or EPA-R05-OAR-2016-0090 for Clifty Creek
at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either manner of
submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket.
Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio,
video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written
comment is considered the official comment and should include
discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will generally not
consider comments or comment contents located outside of the primary
submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing system). For
additional submission methods, please contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full EPA public

Orders?

V. Incorporation by Reference
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Why did IDEM issue these Commissioner's Orders?

    On January 27, 2016, and February 5, 2016, IDEM submitted for
parallel processing draft revisions to its SIP consisting of orders
issued by IDEM's Commissioner that establish more stringent
SO2 emissions limits than those currently contained in the
SIP for A.B. Brown and Clifty Creek. IDEM established these
SO2 emissions limits to enable the areas near A.B. Brown and
Clifty Creek to qualify in the future for being designated
``attainment'' of the 2010 primary SO2 NAAQS. Under a

Federal consent decree, EPA is required to designate, under the 2010
SO2 NAAQS, certain areas in the United States including the
areas near A.B. Brown and Clifty Creek by July 2, 2016. The history of
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and the consent decree is explained below
in order to provide a more detailed explanation of the context for
IDEM's request for EPA approval of these SO2 limits into the
SIP.
    On June 3, 2010, pursuant to section 109 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), EPA revised the primary (health-based) SO2 NAAQS by
establishing a new one-hour standard codified at 40 CFR 50.17 (75 FR
35520). Pursuant to section 107(d) of the CAA, EPA must designate areas
as either ``unclassifiable,'' ``attainment,'' or ``nonattainment'' for
the 2010 one-hour SO2 primary NAAQS. Under Section 107(d) of
the CAA, a nonattainment area is any area that does not meet the NAAQS
or that contributes to a violation in a nearby area. An attainment area
is any area, other than a nonattainment area, that meets the NAAQS.
Unclassifiable areas are those that cannot be classified on the basis
of available information as meeting or not meeting the NAAQS.
    On August 5, 2013, EPA published a final rule establishing air
quality designations for 29 areas in the United States for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS, based on recorded air quality monitoring data
from 2009-2011 that showed violations of the NAAQS (78 FR 47191). In
that rulemaking, EPA committed to address, in separate future actions,
the designations for all other areas for which EPA was not yet prepared
to issue designations.
    Following the initial August 5, 2013, designations, three lawsuits
were filed against EPA in different U.S. District Courts, alleging EPA
had failed to perform a nondiscretionary duty under the CAA by not
designating all portions of the country by the June 2013 deadline. In
an effort intended to resolve the litigation in one of those cases,
plaintiffs Sierra Club and the Natural Resources Defense Council and
EPA filed a proposed consent decree with the U.S. District Court for
the Northern District of California. On March 2, 2015, the court
entered the consent decree and issued an enforceable order for EPA to
complete the area designations according to the court-ordered
schedule.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Sierra Club et al. v. EPA, No. 3:13-cv-3953-SI (N.D.Cal.)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    By no later than July 2, 2016, (16 months from the court's order),
EPA must designate two groups of areas: (1) Areas that have newly
monitored violations of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and (2) areas
that contain any stationary sources that had not been announced as of
March 2, 2015, for retirement and that according to the EPA's Air
Markets Database emitted in 2012 either (i) more than 16,000 tons of
SO2 or (ii) more than 2,600 tons of SO2 with an
annual average emission rate of at least 0.45 pounds (lbs) of
SO2 per million British thermal units (MMBTU). In the
consent decree, ``announced for retirement'' means any stationary
source with a coal-fired unit that as of January 1, 2010, had a
capacity of over 5 megawatts and otherwise meets the emissions criteria
is excluded from the July 2, 2016, deadline if it had announced through
a company public announcement, public utilities commission filing,
consent decree, public legal settlement, final state or federal permit
filing, or other similar means of communication, by March 2, 2015, that
it will cease burning coal at that unit.
    A.B. Brown and Clifty Creek each meet the second criterion for the
July 2, 2016, deadline. That is, neither has been ``announced for
retirement'' and both emitted in 2012 either (i) more than 16,000 tons
of SO2 or (ii) more than 2,600 tons of SO2 with
an annual average emission rate of at least 0.45 lbs of SO2
per MMBTU. Specifically, A.B. Brown emitted 7,091 tons of
SO2 in 2012 and had an emissions rate of 0.521 lbs
SO2/MMBTU in 2012. Clifty Creek emitted 52,839 tons of
SO2 in 2012 and had an emissions rate of 1.767 lbs
SO2/MMBTU in 2012. In absence of new SO2
emissions limits, A.B. Brown and Clifty Creek cannot demonstrate
modeled attainment of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS in accordance with
EPA's Draft SO2 NAAQS Designations Modeling Technical Assistance
Document.\2\ Therefore, IDEM conducted air dispersion modeling using
the American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency
Regulatory Model (AERMOD) version 15181 in accordance with appendix W
of part 51 of chapter 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to
determine new, more stringent SO2 emissions limits for A.B.
Brown and Clifty Creek that should result in the areas near these
generating stations showing modeled attainment of the 2010
SO2 NAAQS.

Document. December 2013. http://www3.epa.gov/airquality/sulfurdioxide/pdfs/SO2ModelingTAD.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    IDEM has requested that EPA approve Commissioner's Order 2016-01
for A.B. Brown and Commissioner's Order 2016-02 for Clifty Creek into
Indiana's SIP. EPA's approval of the new SO2 emissions
limits contained in these orders into Indiana's SIP would make these
SO2 emissions limits federally enforceable. Once these
SO2 emissions limits have become federally enforceable, IDEM
intends to use them to demonstrate AERMOD-modeled attainment for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS for the areas near A.B. Brown and Clifty
Creek. To be clear, the purpose of this rulemaking is to take action on
IDEM's request to approve these SO2 emissions limits into
the Indiana SIP and thereby make them federally enforceable. The
purpose of this rulemaking is not to take action on whether these
SO2 emissions limits are adequate for EPA to designate
attainment of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS for the areas near A.B.
Brown and Clifty Creek. EPA intends to designate the areas near the
sources that meet the criteria for the first phase of the consent
decree designations, including the areas near A.B. Brown and Clifty
Creek, under a separate rulemaking.
    EPA cannot take final action to approve the orders into Indiana's
SIP until the state completes its public comment process and submits
the final orders to EPA as SIP revision requests. In the meantime,
Indiana requested that EPA ``parallel process'' the SIP revision to
expedite action on the Commissioner's orders. Under this procedure, the
state submitted a copy of the proposed revisions to EPA before
completing its public comment process. EPA is publishing this proposed
rulemaking in the Federal Register and is soliciting public comment in
approximately the same timeframe during which the state is soliciting
public comment. After Indiana submits the final SIP revision request,
EPA will prepare a final rulemaking for the SIP revision. If changes
are made to the SIP revision after EPA's proposed rulemaking, such
changes must be acknowledged in EPA's final rulemaking. If the changes
are significant, then EPA may need to repropose the rulemaking.

II. What are the SO2 limits in these Commissioner's Orders?

    For A.B. Brown, Indiana issued Commissioner's Order 2016-01 on
January 11, 2016, with a compliance date of April 19, 2016. This order
established two new limits for A.B. Brown: One limit for Unit 1 when
running alone and one limit for Units 1 and 2 when running
simultaneously. The emissions limits are 0.855 lbs of SO2
per MMBTU for coal-fired boiler Unit 1 operating alone and 0.426 lbs of
SO2 per MMBTU for Units 1 and 2 operating simultaneously.
These limits supplement a limit contained in a

February 22, 1979, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit
of 0.69 pounds per MMBTU for coal-fired boiler Unit 2. Note that the
limit on Unit 1 emissions alone (0.855 lbs per MMBTU) is higher (less
restrictive) than the limit on combined emissions from Units 1 and 2
(0.426 lbs per MMBTU). Because Unit 2 has more impact per pound of
emissions than Unit 1 due to dispersion characteristics, the plant can
emit more and still not cause violations of the 2010 SO2
NAAQS when only Unit 1 is operating than when both Units 1 and 2 are
operating.
    For Clifty Creek, Indiana issued Commissioner's Order 2016-02 on
February 1, 2016, with a compliance date of April 19, 2016. This order
established a combined emission limit for the six coal-fired boilers
(Units No. 1 through No. 6) located at Clifty Creek of 2,624.5 lbs of
SO2 per hour as a 720 operating hour rolling average when
any of Units No.1 through No. 6, or any combination thereof, is
operating.

III. By what criteria is EPA reviewing this SIP revision?

    EPA is evaluating this revision on the basis of whether it
strengthens Indiana's SIP. Prior to Commissioner's Order 2016-01, A.B.
Brown had an SO2 emissions limit in its operating permit of
6.0 lbs SO2 per MMBTU for coal-fired boiler Unit 1. Prior to
Commissioner's Order 2016-02 Clifty Creek had an SO2
emissions limit in its operating permit for Units 1 through 6 not to
exceed 7.52 lbs of SO2 per MMBTU on a thirty (30) day
rolling weighted average. The new SO2 emissions limits
established by IDEM in Commissioner's Order 2016-01 and Commissioner's
Order 2016-02 for A.B. Brown and Clifty Creek, respectively, are more
stringent than the previous limits and will therefore strengthen
Indiana's SIP.
    The adequacy of these limits for providing for attainment is not a
prerequisite for approval of these limits. Nevertheless, the purpose of
these limits is to provide for attainment, and EPA is working with
Indiana to assure a proper analysis of the adequacy of these limits for
this purpose. If these limits become SIP-approved and thereby federally
enforceable in a timely fashion, formal evaluation of the adequacy of
these limits to provide for attainment will be conducted as part of the
process of rulemaking on the 2010 SO2 NAAQS designation for
these areas.

IV. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is proposing to approve the SO2 emissions limits in
Commissioner's Order 2016-01 and Commissioner's Order 2016-02 into the
Indiana SIP. EPA confirms that the SO2 emissions limits for
A. B. Brown (Commissioner's Order 2016-01) and Clifty Creek
(Commissioner's Order 2016-02) are more stringent than the previous
SO2 emissions limits for these sources. By approving these
Commissioner's orders into the Indiana SIP, these SO2
emissions limits will become federally enforceable and strengthen the
Indiana SIP.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference Commissioner's Order No. 2016-01 issued to Vectren's A. B.
Brown Generating Station, effective January 11, 2016, and
Commissioner's Order No. 2016-02 issued to Indiana-Kentucky Electric
Corporation's Clifty Creek Generating Station, effective February 1,
2016. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble for more information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System (NAS).

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for Docket
No. FAA-2022-0301 in the Federal Register (87 FR 19413; April 4, 2022),
revoking Colored Federal airway G-7 due to the planned decommissioning
of the Fort Davis, AK, NDB in the vicinity of Nome, AK. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting comments on the proposal. One comment was received.
    Green Federal airways are published in paragraph 6009(a) of FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15,
2022, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Colored
Federal airway listed in this document will be published subsequently
in FAA Order JO 7400.11.

Discussion of Comments

    In the comment received, the commenter recognized the improved
efficiency of the NAS provided by global positioning system (GPS)
navigation, but was critical of the cost of installing the equipment
into aircraft. The FAA appreciates the comment addressing the improved
efficiency GPS provides the NAS and understands the pilot's frustration
with the cost of avionics.
    Although avionic equipment is costly, the FAA notes that GPS
equipment costs have decreased in recent years; whereas the costs of
automatic direction finder (ADF) equipment used to navigate via NDB-
based Colored Federal airways have continued to increase. The higher
ADF equipment costs and associated higher maintenance costs, especially
in remote areas of Alaska, support the move away from NDB-based
navigation.
    The FAA also offers that the revocation of G-7 between the Gambell,
AK, NDB and the Norton Bay, AK, NDB does not require GPS equipage as
the revocation of G-7 is mitigated by two adjacent VHF Omnidirectional
Range (VOR) Federal airways, V-414 and V-452, that extend between the
Gambell, AK, NDB and the Norton Bay, AK, NDB. Additionally, the FAA
accomplished a traffic study of the G-7 Colored Federal airway between
the Gambell NDB and the Fort Davis, AK, NDB that showed no usage of G-7
in recent years. Instead, pilots used V-452 to navigate overwater
between Gambell, AK, and Nome, AK; further demonstrating pilots will
not require additional GPS equipage to mitigate the revocation of G-7.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September
15, 2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by revoking Colored Federal
airway G-7 due to the planned decommissioning of the Fort Davis, AK,
NDB in the vicinity of Nome, AK. The amendment is described below.
    G-7: G-7 extends between the Gambell, AK, NDB and the Norton Bay,
AK, NDB. The airway is removed in its entirety.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under

Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when
promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this airspace action of revoking
Colored Federal airway G-7, due to the planned decommissioning of the
Fort Davis, AK, NDB, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its
implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with
FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points), and paragraph 5-
6.5k, which categorically excludes from further environmental review
the publication of existing air traffic control procedures that do not
essentially change existing tracks, create new tracks, change altitude,
or change concentration of aircraft on these tracks. As such, this
action is not expected to result in any potentially significant
environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph
5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this
action for factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically
excluded action may have a significant environmental impact requiring
further analysis. Accordingly, the FAA has determined that no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment or environmental impact study.
