14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0213; Airspace Docket No. 11-ACE-4]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; El Dorado, KS

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E airspace for El Dorado, KS.

Decommissioning of the El Dorado non-directional beacon (NDB) at

Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado Airport, El Dorado, KS, has made this

action necessary to enhance the safety and management of Instrument

Flight Rule (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, October 20, 2011. The Director of the

Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under

1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and

publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,

Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest

Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone (817) 321-

7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 19, 2011, the FAA published in the Federal Register a

notice of proposed rulemaking to amend Class E airspace for El Dorado,

KS, reconfiguring controlled airspace at Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado

Airport (76 FR 21827) Docket No. FAA-2011-0213. Interested parties were

invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written

comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received. Class E

airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of FAA Order

7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15, 2010, which

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace

designations listed in this document will be published subsequently in

the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)

part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet

above the surface for the El Dorado, KS area. Decommissioning of the El

Dorado NDB and cancellation of the NDB approach at Captain Jack Thomas/

El Dorado Airport has made reconfiguration of the airspace necessary

for the safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.

Geographic coordinates are also being updated to coincide with the

FAA's aeronautical database.

    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.

Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory

action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''

under 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.

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is

found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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

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 amends controlled airspace at Captain Jack Thomas/El Dorado

Airport, El Dorado, KS.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation

Administration amends 14 CFR Part 71 as follows:

TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    As it relates to any qualifying facility filings, the notices of
self-certification [or self-recertification] listed above, do not
institute a proceeding regarding qualifying facility status. A notice
of self-certification [or self-recertification] simply provides
notification that the entity making the filing has determined the
facility named in the notice meets the applicable criteria to be a
qualifying facility. Intervention and/or protest do not lie in dockets
that are qualifying facility self-certifications or self-
recertifications. Any person seeking to challenge such qualifying
facility status may do so by filing a motion pursuant to 18 CFR
292.207(d)(iii). Intervention and protests may be filed in response to
notices of qualifying facility dockets other than self-certifications
and self-recertifications.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://
www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.
    The filings in the above proceedings are accessible in the
Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
on the Web site that enables subscribers to receive e-mail notification
when a document is added to a subscribed docket(s). For assistance with

Re: EPA questions: U. S. Steel Clairton Works - Coke Oven ICR Questions

Thanks for contacting me for clarification. I have some comments and questions.

1. Yes, of course.
2. What do you see as the a potential problem with what you plan to do?
3. Why do you not want to use the required water sampling methods? Do you mean you would want to substitute just the sampling parts or also the analysis parts of the other methods listed?

Subject: U. S. Steel Clairton Works - Coke Oven ICR Questions

Dr. Jones,

Please see the following questions regarding the ICR testing at U. S. Steel - Clairton Works for 7A Quench Tower:

1.  EPA Method 315.  Clarification.  "Toluene to be used instead of methylene chloride as solvent for extraction."  It will be assumed EPA intended toluene to replace methylene chloride for sample collection and extraction.

2.  H2S by EPA Method 15 or 16.  Language in ICR page 11 of 40 for hydrogen sulfide is unclear regarding duration of test runs.  "Perform all tests over a period of at least 3 clock hours."    A single quench sample period for one rail car of coke will last approximately 2 minutes and ~ 4 quenches per hour are expected.  U. S. Steel proposes to complete the sampling at the Quench Tower in three clock hours collecting approximately 16 quench events for this method.

3.  For water sampling specifically, can the following methods replace the required methods in Enclosure 2?

        Pollutant                Required Method        Proposed Method
        Mercury                EPA 200.7(2)                EPA 245.1 (3) [method is mercury specific]

Findings of Failure To Submit a Complete State Implementation
Plan for Section 110(a) Pertaining to the 2006 Fine Particulate Matter
(PM2.5) NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is making a finding that certain states, the District
of Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico have not submitted a
complete State Implementation Plan (SIP) that addresses basic program
elements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) necessary to implement,
maintain, and enforce the 2006 24-hour Fine Particulate Matter
(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The
EPA refers to these SIP submissions as ``infrastructure'' SIPs, because
they address basic structural requirements specified in section
110(a)(1) and (2) that states must establish that they meet following
the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS. Specifically, the EPA is
evaluating whether these states, the District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico made complete infrastructure SIP
submissions to address the applicable requirements of section
110(a)(2)(A) through (M) necessary to implement the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS, with the exception of section 110(a)(2)(I),
portions of section 110(a)(2)(C) pertaining to nonattainment area
requirements and section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). By this action, the EPA is
identifying those states, the District of Columbia, and the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico that have failed to make a complete
submission for some or all of these specific requirements. The finding
of failure to submit for some or all of these specific elements
establishes a 24-month deadline for the EPA to promulgate a Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) to address each state's outstanding
infrastructure SIP elements unless, prior to that time, the state
submits, and the EPA approves, a submission that meets the required
elements, or unless the state is already subject to an existing FIP
that addresses the SIP deficiency.

DATES: The effective date of this rule is October 11, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 553 of the Administrative Procedures
Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), provides that, when an agency for good cause
finds that notice and public procedure are impracticable, unnecessary
or contrary to the public interest, the agency may issue a rule without
providing notice and an opportunity for public comment. The EPA has
determined that there is good cause for making this rule final without
prior proposal and opportunity for comment because no significant EPA
judgment is involved in making a finding of failure to submit SIPs, or
elements of SIPs, required by the CAA, where states have made no
submissions, or incomplete submissions, to meet the requirement by the
statutory date. Thus, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. The
EPA finds that this constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

Columbia, and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, please contact the

I. Background

    On September 21, 2006, the EPA promulgated a final rule revising
the existing 1997 24-hour NAAQS for PM2.5 from 65 micrograms
per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\) to 35 [mu]g/m\3\. In that action, the EPA
set the revised 2006 24-hour PM2.5 primary standard at 35
[mu]g/m\3\.
    CAA section 110(a) requires states to submit SIPs that provide for
the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of a new or revised
NAAQS within 3 years following the promulgation of such NAAQS, or
within such shorter period as the EPA may prescribe. These SIPs were
due on September 21, 2009. The EPA refers to these specific submissions
as ``infrastructure'' SIPs because they are intended to address basic
structural requirements for SIPs for a new or revised NAAQS. Section
110(a) imposes the obligation upon states to make a SIP submission to
the EPA for a new or revised NAAQS, but the contents of that submission
may vary depending upon the facts and circumstances. In particular, the
data and analytical tools available at the time the state develops and
submits the SIP for a new or revised NAAQS necessarily affects the
content of the submission. The contents of such SIP submissions may
also vary depending upon what provisions the state's existing SIP
already contains.
    Section 110(a)(2) lists specific elements that states must meet, as
applicable, in the general infrastructure SIP submissions. The
requirements include basic SIP infrastructure elements such as SIP
provisions to provide for monitoring, enforcement, and general legal
authority, which are designed to assure attainment and maintenance of
the NAAQS. In the case of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i), the provisions are
intended to assure that the SIP of the state in question contains
provisions necessary to prevent certain prohibited impacts on air
quality in other states. In a September 25, 2009, memorandum titled
``Guidance on SIP Elements Required Under Section 110(a)(1) and (2) for
the 2006 24-Hour Fine Particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS),'' the EPA identified the requirements that
are the subject of this action, as applicable, and provided additional
recommendations concerning the requirements. Most states submitted SIPs
addressing section 110(a)(2). For various reasons, some of the
submissions did not address all infrastructure SIP elements.
    Two elements identified in section 110(a)(2) are not governed by
the 3-year submission deadline of section 110(a)(1) because SIPs
incorporating necessary local nonattainment area controls are not due
within 3 years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, but rather
are due at the time the nonattainment area plan requirements are due
pursuant to section 172. These requirements are: (1) submissions
required by section 110(a)(2)(C) to the extent that subsection refers
to a permit program as required in part D Title I of the CAA; and (2)
submissions required by section 110(a)(2)(I) which pertain to the
nonattainment planning requirements of part D, Title I of the CAA.
Therefore, this action does not cover these specific section 110(a)(2)
elements. However, this action does pertain to the requirements in
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD). On June 9, 2010, in a separate final rulemaking (75 FR 32763),
the EPA found that 29 states and territories had not made a SIP
submittal that addressed the section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements
related to interstate transport.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ That notice included, among others, the states of Alaska,
Iowa, Montana, and the District of Columbia and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico, some of which are also subject of this action. We are
not superseding or otherwise affecting that limited finding with
respect to those states which the finding remains in effect.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 12, 2011, WildEarth Guardians and Sierra Club filed a
complaint against the EPA alleging that the agency had failed to take
final action on infrastructure SIPs submitted by some states for the
2006 PM2.5 NAAQS and that the agency had failed to make
findings of failure to submit for other states that had failed to make
such infrastructure SIP submissions.

II. This Action

    This action reflects the EPA's determinations with respect to the
section 110(a)(2) requirements for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS only. These are based upon the failure of states to submit
infrastructure SIPs to address the requisite requirements, or failure
to certify that they have already met the requisite requirements, or
both. For those states that have not yet made a submittal and for those
states that made a submittal that was not complete with respect to each
element of section 110(a)(2), as applicable, the EPA is making a
finding of failure to submit a complete SIP.
    For those states that did not make any submittal, except as noted
above with respect to the June 9, 2010, finding, the EPA is making a
finding of failure to submit a complete SIP with respect to all of the
section 110(a)(2) SIP elements. In the same manner, for those states
that did not make a submittal that addressed all of the section
110(a)(2) elements, as applicable, the EPA is making a finding of
failure to submit only with respect to those specific elements for
which the

state did not make a complete submission. These findings establish a
24-month deadline for the promulgation by the EPA of a FIP, in
accordance with section 110(c)(1), unless prior to that time the state
submits, and EPA approves, a submission from the state to address the
elements for which the finding of failure to submit applies. These
findings of failure to submit do not impose sanctions, and do not set
deadlines for imposing sanctions as described in section 179, because
these findings do not pertain to the elements of a Title I part D plan
for nonattainment areas as required under section 110(a)(2)(I), and
because this action is not a SIP call pursuant to section 110(k)(5).
The EPA will work with these states and provide assistance as necessary
to help them develop approvable submittals in a timely manner.
    This action will be effective on October 11, 2011.

Findings of Failure To Submit for States That Failed To Make an
Infrastructure SIP Submittal in Whole or in Part for the 2006 24 Hour
PM2.5 NAAQS

Region II
    Puerto Rico failed to submit a SIP to satisfy the requirements of
section 110(a)(2)(A)-(C), (D)(i)(II) (PSD prong only), (E)-(H) and (J)-
(M).
Region III
    District of Columbia failed to submit a SIP to satisfy the
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (PSD prong only). Regarding
this finding, section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (PSD prong only) is already
addressed for the District of Columbia through an existing FIP that
remains in place. Therefore, this action will not trigger any
additional FIP obligation with respect to these requirements.
Region VII
    Iowa failed to submit a SIP to satisfy the requirements of section
110(a)(2)(A)-(C), (D)(i)(II) (PSD prong only), (E)-(H) and (J)-(M).
Region VIII
    Montana failed to submit for section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (PSD prong
only).
Region IX
    Arizona failed to submit for section 110(a)(2)(G).
    Hawaii failed to submit for section 110(a)(2)(A)-(C), (D)(i)(II)
(PSD prong only), (E)-(H) and (J)-(M).
Region X
    Alaska failed to submit for section 110(a)(2)(A)-(C), (E)-(H) and
(J)-(M).
    Washington failed to submit for section 110(a)(2)(A)-(C),
(D)(i)(II) (PSD prong only), (E)-(H) and (J)-(M).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden. This
rule relates to the requirement in the CAA for states to submit SIPs
under section 110(a) to satisfy certain infrastructure and general
authority-related elements required under section 110(a)(2) of the CAA
for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA
requires that states submit SIPs that implement, maintain, and enforce
a new or revised NAAQS which satisfies the requirements of section
110(a)(2) within 3 years of promulgation of such standard, or shorter
period as the EPA may provide. The final rule does not establish any
new information collection requirement apart from that already required
by law. The OMB control numbers for the EPA's regulations in the CFR
are listed in 40 CFR Part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any action subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that
the action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For the purpose of assessing the impacts of this final action on
small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business that
is a small industry entity as defined in the U.S. Small Business
Administration size standards (See 13 CFR 121); (2) a small
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a population of less than
50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which independently owned and operated is not dominate in
its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of this final action on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action
relates to the requirement in the CAA for states to submit SIPs under
section 110(a) to satisfy certain infrastructure and general authority-
related elements required under section 110(a)(2) of the CAA for the
2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA requires that
states submit SIPs that implement, maintain, and enforce a new or
revised NAAQS which satisfies the requirements of section 110(a)(2)
within 3 years of promulgation of such standard, or shorter period as
the EPA may provide.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA)

    This action contains no federal mandate under the provisions of
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531-
1538 for state, local, and tribal governments and the private sector.
The action does not impose any new enforceable duty on any state, local
or private sector. Therefore, this action is not subject to the
requirements of section 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
    This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203
of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action relates
to the requirement in the CAA for states to submit SIPs under section
110(a) to satisfy certain infrastructure and general authority-related
elements required under section 110(a)(2) of the CAA for the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS. Section 110(a)(1) of the CAA requires that
states submit SIPs that implement, maintain, and enforce a new or
revised NAAQS which satisfies the requirements of section 110(a)(2)
within 3 years of promulgation of such standard, or shorter period as
the EPA may provide.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will 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. The CAA establishes the scheme
whereby states take the lead in developing plans to meet the NAAQS.
This action will not

modify the relationship of the states and the EPA for purposes of
developing programs to implement the NAAQS. Thus, Executive Order 13132
does not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249). It does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, because no Tribe has
implemented an air quality management program related to the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS. Furthermore, this action does not affect the
relationship or distribution of power and responsibilities between the
federal government and Indian Tribes. The CAA and the Tribal Air Rule
establish the relationship of the federal government and Tribes in
developing plans to attain the NAAQS, and this rule does nothing to
modify that relationship. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to
this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997) as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health
or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of
the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it is making
findings concerning whether or not each state has submitted a complete
SIP that provides the basic program elements specified in CAA section
110(a)(2) necessary to implement the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. The
findings of failure to submit for all or a portion of states' SIP
establish a 24-month deadline for the EPA to promulgate FIPs to address
the outstanding SIP elements unless, prior to that time, the affected
states submit, and the EPA approves, the required SIPs.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' as defined in
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001), because it is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy. At the time of proposal of the
implementation rule for the 1997 PM2.5 standard, information
on the methodology and data regarding the assessment of potential
energy impacts regarding implementation of the 2006 PM2.5
standard was not addressed because the PM2.5 NAAQS is not a
significant energy action. This is based on the fact that no impacts
are specifically ascribed to the standard only. Potential energy
impacts are ascribed during the implementation phase by the states. An
energy impact analysis, as part of a regulatory impact analysis or
other assessment for the PM2.5 NAAQS rule, was prepared by
the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Research Triangle
Park, NC, April 24, 2003. [October 17, 2006 (71 FR 60853)]

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer Advancement Act
of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impracticable. VCS are technical standards
(e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and
business practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS bodies. The
NTTAA directs the EPA to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations
when the agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, the
EPA did not consider the use of any VCS.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
    The EPA has determined that this final action will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
directly affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. This notice is making a finding concerning whether each
state has submitted or failed to submit a complete SIP that provides
the basic program elements of section 110(a)(2) necessary to implement
the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.

K. Congressional Review Act

    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. The EPA will submit a report containing this action 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 action 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). This action will be effective October 11, 2011.

L. Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia Circuit Court within 60 days from the date the
final action is published in the Federal Register. Filing a petition
for review by the Administrator of this final action does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
must be final, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such action.
    Thus, any petitions for review of this action related to findings
of failure to submit related to the requirements of section 110(a) to
satisfy certain elements required under section 110(a)(2) of the CAA
for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS must be filed in the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the
date final action is published in the Federal Register.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-84959; File No. SR-MRX-2018-41]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq MRX, LLC; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Extend the Penny
Pilot Program

December 26, 2018.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on December 21, 2018, Nasdaq MRX, LLC (``MRX'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'')
the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which
Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing
this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from
interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules to extend a pilot program
to quote and to trade certain options classes in penny increments
(``Penny Pilot Program'' or ``Penny Pilot'').
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqmrx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office
of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Under the Penny Pilot Program, the minimum price variation for all
participating options classes, except for the Nasdaq-100 Index Tracking
Stock (``QQQQ''), the SPDR S&P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (``SPY'') and
the iShares Russell 2000 Index Fund (``IWM''), is $0.01 for all
quotations in options series that are quoted at less than $3 per
contract and $0.05 for all quotations in options series that are quoted
at $3 per contract or greater. QQQQ, SPY and IWM are quoted in $0.01
increments for all options series. The Penny Pilot Program is currently
scheduled to expire on December 31, 2018.\3\ The Exchange proposes to
extend the Penny Pilot Program through June 30, 2019, and to provide a
revised date for adding replacement issues to the Penny Pilot Program.
The Exchange proposes that any Penny Pilot Program issues that have
been delisted may be replaced on the second trading day following
January 1, 2019. The replacement issues will be selected based on
trading activity for the most recent six month period excluding the
month immediately preceding the replacement (i.e., beginning June 1,
2018, and ending November 30, 2018). This filing does not propose any
substantive changes to the Penny Pilot Program: All classes currently
participating will remain the same and all minimum increments will
remain unchanged. The Exchange believes the benefits to public
customers and other market participants who will be able to express
their true prices to buy and sell options have been demonstrated to
outweigh any increase in quote traffic.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Exchange Act Release No. 83534 (June 28, 2018), 83 FR
31213 (July 3, 2018) (SR-MRX-2018-22).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, the Exchange proposes a non-substantive change in
Supplementary Material .01 to Rule 710 to update ``Market Information
Circulars'' to ``Options Trader Alerts'' to reflect current
practice.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Today, the Exchange specifies which options trade in the
Penny Pilot Program, and in what increments, in Options Trader
Alerts distributed to Members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\5\
Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\6\ because it is designed to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanisms of a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest. In
particular, the proposed rule change, which extends the Penny Pilot
Program for an additional six months, will enable public customers and
other market participants to express their true prices to buy and sell
options to the benefit of all market participants. Furthermore, the
Exchange's proposal to update ``Market Information Circulars'' to
``Options Trader Alerts'' in Supplementary Material .01 to Rule 710
will bring greater transparency to the Exchange's Rulebook to the
benefit of all market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).

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

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    In accordance with Section 6(b)(8) of the Act,\7\ the Exchange does
not believe that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on
intermarket or intramarket competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. Specifically,
the Exchange believes that, by extending the expiration of the Penny
Pilot Program, the proposed rule change will allow for further analysis
of the Penny Pilot Program and a determination of how the Penny Pilot
Program should be structured in the future. In doing so, the proposed
rule change will also serve to promote regulatory clarity and
consistency, thereby reducing burdens on the marketplace and
facilitating investor protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(8).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \9\ thereunder. Because
the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days after the date of the filing, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
\11\ thereunder.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of filing.
However, pursuant to Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii),\13\ the Commission may
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposal
may become operative immediately upon filing. The Commission believes
that waiving the 30-day operative delay is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest because doing so will
allow the Pilot Program to continue without interruption in a manner
that is consistent with the Commission's prior approval of the
extension and expansion of the Pilot Program.\14\ Accordingly, the
Commission designates the proposed rule change as operative upon filing
with the Commission.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ See Securities Exchange Release No. 61061 (November 24,
2009), 74 FR 62857 (December 1, 2009) (SR-NYSEArca-2009-44).
    \15\ For purposes only of waiving the operative delay for this
proposal, the Commission has considered the proposed rule's impact
on efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP12-494-000]

Gas Transmission Northwest LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Carty Lateral Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the Carty
Lateral Project, proposed by Gas Transmission Northwest LLC (GTN) in
the above-referenced docket. GTN requests authorization to construct
pipeline facilities in Morrow County, Oregon to provide up to 175,000
dekatherms per day of new natural gas delivery capacity to the planned
Carty Generating Station.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Carty Lateral Project in accordance
with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA).
GTN's proposed Carty Lateral Project involves the construction of
approximately 24.3 miles of 20-inch-diameter pipeline, one new meter
station, and other appurtenant facilities. The FERC staff concludes
that approval of the proposed project, with appropriate mitigating
measures, would not constitute a major federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Morrow County Planning
Department participated as cooperating agencies in the preparation of
the EA. Cooperating agencies have jurisdiction by law or special
expertise with respect to resources potentially affected by the
proposal and participate in the NEPA analysis.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to
this proceeding. In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on
the FERC's Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before January
16, 2013.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (CP12-494-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert
staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can also file your comments electronically using the
eFiling feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the
link to Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments
in a variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your
submission. New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking
on ``eRegister.'' You must select the type of filing you are making. If
you are filing a comment on a particular project, please select
``Comment on a Filing''; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC
20426.
    Any person seeking to become a party to the proceeding must file a
motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214). \1\ Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not
give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to
have your comments considered.

comments.

Oregon; Major Disaster and Related Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This is a notice of the Presidential declaration of a major
disaster for the State of Oregon (FEMA-4055-DR), dated March 2, 2012,
and related determinations.

DATES: Effective Date: March 2, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Peggy Miller, Office of Response and
Recovery, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Notice is hereby given that, in a letter
dated March 2, 2012, the President issued a major disaster declaration
under the authority of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''), as follows:

    I have determined that the damage in certain areas of the State
of Oregon resulting from a severe winter storm, flooding,
landslides, and mudslides during the period of January 17-21, 2012,
is of sufficient severity and magnitude to warrant a major disaster
declaration under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act, 42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq. (the ``Stafford
Act''). Therefore, I declare that such a major disaster exists in
the State of Oregon.
    In order to provide Federal assistance, you are hereby
authorized to allocate from funds available for these purposes such
amounts as you find necessary for Federal disaster assistance and
administrative expenses.
    You are authorized to provide Public Assistance in the
designated areas and Hazard Mitigation throughout the State.
Consistent with the requirement that Federal assistance is
supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) hereby gives notice
that pursuant to the authority vested in the Administrator, under
Executive Order 12148, as amended, Dolph A. Diemont, of FEMA is
appointed to act as the Federal Coordinating Officer for this major
disaster.
    The following areas of the State of Oregon have been designated as
