ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-10396-01-R9]

Delegations of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Air
Permitting Program to the Maricopa County Air Quality Department and
the Pima County Department of Environmental Quality

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of delegations of authority.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces that the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Region 9, has revised its delegation agreements with the
Maricopa County Air Quality Department (MCAQD) and Pima County
Department of Environmental Quality (PCDEQ) for implementation of the
federal Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
permitting program. The revised and updated delegation agreements
authorize these air pollution agencies in Arizona to continue to
conduct PSD review for proposed new and modified major stationary
sources, issue initial federal PSD permits, and revise existing federal
PSD permits, subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable
delegation agreement.

DATES: The revised PSD delegation agreements with the MCAQD and the
PCDEQ became effective on October 2, 2022, and June 5, 2018,
respectively. Pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42
U.S.C. 7607(b)(1), judicial review of these final agency actions, to
the extent it is available, may be sought by filing a petition for
review in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
within 60 days of November 30, 2022.

ADDRESSES: The revised delegation agreements are available on Region
9's website at https://www.epa.gov/caa-permitting/air-permit-delegation-and-psd-sip-approval-status-epas-pacific-southwest-region-9.
For additional information, please contact the person identified in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gerardo Rios, EPA Region 9, 75
Hawthorne Street (AIR-3-1), San Francisco, California 94105. By phone
at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 40 CFR 52.21(u), the EPA signed
revised PSD delegation agreements with the MCAQD and PCDEQ. The EPA
signed a greenhouse gas (GHG) PSD delegation agreement with the MCAQD
on October 2, 2022. The EPA also signed a PSD delegation agreement that
applies to all PSD pollutants, including both attainment/unclassifiable
pollutants and GHGs, with the PCDEQ on June 5, 2018. The delegation
agreements authorize these Arizona air pollution agencies to implement
the PSD program under sections 160-169 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and
40 CFR 52.21 for the applicable pollutants, including conducting PSD
review and the issuance and revision of PSD permits.
    The delegation agreements set forth the terms and conditions
according to which the agencies will implement the PSD regulations at
40 CFR 52.21. Under the PSD program, major stationary sources of air
pollutants must apply for and receive a permit prior to construction of
new facilities or certain modifications to existing facilities.
    While the abovementioned Arizona air pollution agencies have been
delegated the authority to implement and enforce the PSD program,
nothing in the delegation agreements prohibits the EPA from enforcing
the PSD provisions of the CAA, the PSD regulations, or the conditions
of any PSD permit issued by the air pollution agencies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-725T, Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Bulk-
Power System: TRE \1\ Reliability Standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Texas Reliability Entity.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0273.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-725T information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: TRE Reliability Standards apply to entities registered as
Generator Owners (GOs), Generator Operators (GOPs), and Balancing
Authorities (BAs) within the Texas Reliability Entity region.
    The information collection requirements entail the setting or
configuration of the Control System software, identification and
recording of events, data retention, and submitting frequency
measurable events to the compliance enforcement authority (Regional
Entity or NERC).
    Submitting frequency measurable events. The BA has to identify and
post information regarding Frequency Measurable Events (FME). Further,
the BA has to calculate and report to the Compliance Enforcement
Authority data related to Primary Frequency Response (PFR) performance
of each generating unit/generating facility.
    Data retention. The BA, GO, and GOP shall keep data or evidence to
show compliance, as identified below, unless directed by its Compliance
Enforcement Authority to retain specific evidence for a longer period
of time as part of an investigation. Compliance audits are generally
about three years apart.
     The BA shall retain a list of identified Frequency
Measurable Events and shall retain FME information since its last
compliance audit.

Applicants

    1. The Trust will be registered as an open-end management
investment company under the Act and is a statutory trust organized
under the laws of Delaware. Applicants seek relief with respect to one
Fund (as defined below, and that Fund, the ``Initial Fund''). The
portfolio positions of each Fund will consist of securities and other
assets selected and managed by its Adviser or Subadviser (as defined
below) to pursue the Fund's investment objective.
    2. The Adviser, a Delaware corporation, will be the investment
adviser to the Initial Fund. An Adviser (as defined below) will serve
as investment adviser to each Fund. The Adviser is, and any other
Adviser will be, registered as an investment adviser under the
Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (``Advisers Act''). The Adviser may
retain one or more subadvisers (each a ``Subadviser'') to manage the
portfolios of the Funds. Any Subadviser will be registered, or not
subject to registration, under the Advisers Act.
    3. The Distributor is a Delaware corporation and a broker-dealer
registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will act as
the principal underwriter of Shares of the Funds. Applicants request
that the requested relief apply to any distributor of Shares, whether
affiliated or unaffiliated with the Adviser (included in the term
``Distributor''). Any Distributor will comply with the terms and
conditions of the Order.

Applicants' Requested Exemptive Relief

    4. Applicants seek the requested Order under section 6(c) of the
Act for an exemption from sections 2(a)(32), 5(a)(1), 22(d) and 22(e)
of the Act and rule 22c-1 under the Act, under sections 6(c) and 17(b)
of the Act for an exemption from sections 17(a)(1) and 17(a)(2) of the
Act, and under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for an exemption from
sections 12(d)(1)(A) and (B) of the Act. The requested Order would
permit applicants to offer exchange-traded managed funds. Because the
relief requested is the same as the relief granted by the Commission
under the Reference Order and because the Adviser has entered into, or
anticipates entering into, a licensing agreement with Eaton Vance
Management, or an affiliate thereof in order to offer exchange-traded
managed funds,\2\ the Order would incorporate by reference the terms
and conditions of the Reference Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Eaton Vance Management has obtained patents with respect to
certain aspects of the Funds' method of operation as exchange-traded
managed funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. Applicants request that the Order apply to the Initial Fund and
to any other existing or future open-end management investment company
or series thereof that: (a) Is advised by the Adviser or any entity
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Adviser
(any such entity included in the term ``Adviser''); and (b) operates as
an exchange-traded managed fund as described in the Reference Order;
and (c) complies with the terms and conditions of the Order and of the
Reference Order, which is incorporated by reference herein (each such
company or series and Initial Fund, a ``Fund'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ All entities that currently intend to rely on the Order are
named as applicants. Any other entity that relies on the Order in
the future will comply with the terms and conditions of the Order
and of the Reference Order, which is incorporated by reference
herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    6. Section 6(c) of the Act provides that the Commission may exempt
any

person, security or transaction, or any class of persons, securities or
transactions, from any provisions of the Act, if and to the extent that
such exemption is necessary or appropriate in the public interest and
consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly
intended by the policy and provisions of the Act. Section 17(b) of the
Act authorizes the Commission to exempt a proposed transaction from
section 17(a) of the Act if evidence establishes that the terms of the
transaction, including the consideration to be paid or received, are
reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on the part of any
person concerned, and the proposed transaction is consistent with the
policies of the registered investment company and the general purposes
of the Act. Section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act provides that the Commission
may exempt any person, security, or transaction, or any class or
classes of persons, securities or transactions, from any provision of
section 12(d)(1) if the exemption is consistent with the public
interest and the protection of investors.
    7. Applicants submit that for the reasons stated in the Reference
Order: (1) With respect to the relief requested pursuant to section
6(c) of the Act, the relief is appropriate, in the public interest and
consistent with the protection of investors and the purposes fairly
intended by the policy and provisions of the Act; (2) with respect to
the relief request pursuant to section 17(b) of the Act, the proposed
transactions are reasonable and fair and do not involve overreaching on
the part of any person concerned, are consistent with the policies of
each registered investment company concerned and consistent with the
general purposes of the Act; and (3) with respect to the relief
requested pursuant to section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act, the relief is
consistent with the public interest and the protection of investors.

authority.

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Fokker
Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce
TAY 650-15 engines. This AD was prompted by reports of uncontained
engine fan blade failures in Rolls-Royce TAY 650-15 engines. This AD
requires installation of a caution placard in the flight compartment.
We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 26, 2017.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 26,
2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to Fokker Services B.V. Model
F28 Mark 0100 airplanes equipped with Rolls-Royce TAY 650-15 engines.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 1, 2016 (81 FR
75759) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by reports of uncontained
engine fan blade failures in Rolls-Royce

TAY 650-15 engines. The fan blade failures occurred due to cracking of
the fan blades, which was initiated under conditions of fan blade
flutter during engine ground operation. The NPRM proposed to require
installation of a caution placard in the flight compartment. We are
issuing this AD to prevent certain engine thrust settings during ground
operation, which can cause the fan blades to flutter and fail,
resulting in damage to the airplane and possible injury to personnel.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive Airworthiness Directive 2013-0141, dated July
12, 2013 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for Fokker Services B.V. Model F28 Mark 0100 airplanes
equipped with Rolls-Royce TAY 650-15 engines. The MCAI states:

    In the past, two F28 [Mark] 0100 aeroplanes with TAY [650-15]
engines were involved in incidents as a result of uncontained engine
fan blade failures. The fan blade failures occurred due to cracking
of the fan blades, which was initiated under conditions of fan blade
flutter. This fan blade flutter can occur during stabilized reverse
thrust operation within a specific N1 RPM-range [revolutions per
minute], known as Keep Out Zone (KOZ), which has been identified to
be between 57% and 75% N1 RPM.
    To address this potential unsafe condition [which can result in
damage to the airplane and possible injury to personnel], [Civil
Aviation Authority--The Netherlands] CAA-NL issued [Dutch] AD (BLA)
nr. 2002-119 for the aeroplane, while Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA)
Germany issued [German] AD (LTA) 2002-090 (later revised) for the
Rolls-Royce Tay [650-15] engines. More recently, LBA [German] AD
2002-090R1 was superseded by EASA AD 2013-0070.
    During stabilized forward thrust operation of an engine with the
aeroplane stationary on the ground (e.g. maintenance engine ground
running), the same type of fan blade flutter can occur. To ensure
maintenance personnel awareness of the engine speed KOZ when
performing engine ground running (in forward or reverse thrust), a
caution placard must be introduced in the flight compartment.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires the
installation of a caution placard in the flight compartment, between
the Standby Engine Indicator (SEI) and the Multi-Functional Display
Unit (MFDU).

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
9302.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-11-027, dated April 18,
2013. This service information describes procedures for the
installation of a caution placard. This service information is

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2010-10-13,
for all BAE Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146
series airplanes. AD 2010-10-13 required repetitive inspections of the
wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure for corrosion and
cracking, and repair if necessary. This new AD requires revised
inspection procedures that terminate a previously approved inspection
procedure. This AD was prompted by revised inspection procedures issued
by the Design Approval Holder (DAH). We are issuing this AD to detect
and correct corrosion and cracking of the wing fixed leading edge and
front spar structure, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2010-10-13, Amendment 39-16292 (75 FR 27419,
May 17, 2010) (``AD 2010-10-13''). AD 2010-10-13 applied to all BAE
Systems (Operations) Limited Model BAe 146 and Avro 146 series
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 20, 2016
(81 FR 23208) (``the NPRM''). The NPRM was prompted by revised
inspection procedures issued by the DAH. The NPRM proposed to continue
to require repetitive inspections of the wing fixed leading edge and
front spar structure for corrosion and cracking, and repair if
necessary. The NPRM also proposed to require revised inspection
procedures that terminate a previously approved inspection procedure.
We are issuing this AD to detect and correct corrosion and cracking of
the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure, which could
result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2014-0047; corrected February 26, 2015
(referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness
Information, or ``the MCAI''); to correct an unsafe condition. The MCAI
states:

    Corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge structure was detected
on a BAe 146 aeroplane during removal of wing removable edge for a
repair. The review of available scheduled tasks intended to detect
environmental and fatigue deteriorations of the wing revealed that
they may not have been sufficient to identify corrosion or fatigue
damage in the affected structural area.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
degradation of the structural integrity of the wing.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2009-
0014 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2010-10-13] to require repetitive
inspections of fixed wing leading edge and front spar structure [for
cracking and corrosion, and repair if necessary] in accordance with
BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd Inspection Service Bulletin (ISB)
ISB.57-072 which incorporated two possible inspection procedures,
either method 1, a combination of a detailed visual inspection (DVI)
and a visual inspection (VI) after removal of the outer fixed
leading edge only, or method 2, a DVI only, after removal of the
inner, centre and outer fixed leading edges.
    Since that [EASA] AD was issued, BAE Systems (Operations) Ltd
issued ISB.57-072 Revision 1 to correct a material reference number,
Revision 2, which removed method 1 as an available inspection
procedure to detect fatigue and environmental damage of the wing
structure and Revision 3 to delete the requirement to install
weights if the engines were removed when the leading edges were
removed.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2009-0014, which is superseded, but requires
accomplishment of the [repetitive] inspections in accordance with
updated inspection procedures, i.e. method 2 only.
    This [EASA] AD is re-published to correct a typographical error
in Table 1, restoring a compliance time as previously required by
EASA AD 2009-0014.

    The repetitive inspection interval for the detailed visual
inspection for cracking and corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge
and front spar structure is:
     12 years or 36,000 flight cycles, whichever occurs
earlier, for airplanes on which the enhanced corrosion protection has
not been accomplished.
     6 years or 36,000 flight cycles, whichever occurs earlier,
for airplanes on which the enhanced corrosion protection has been
accomplished.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for

and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-5465.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this AD as proposed except for
minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    BAE Systems (Operations) Limited has issued Service Bulletin
ISB.57-072, Revision 3, dated August 31, 2010. The service information
describes procedures for inspection and repair for cracking and
corrosion of the wing fixed leading edge and front spar structure. This
service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The actions required by AD 2010-10-13, and retained in this AD take
about 12 work-hours per product, and 1 work-hour per product for
reporting, at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on
these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that are required by
AD 2010-10-13 is $1,105 per product.
    The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
