Two Optional Methods for Relative Accuracy Test Audits of Mercury
Monitoring Systems Installed on Combustion Flue Gas Streams and Several
Amendments to Related Mercury Monitoring Provisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing two optional methods for relative accuracy
audits of mercury monitoring systems installed on combustion flue gas
streams and several amendments to related mercury monitoring
provisions. In specific, this action proposes two optional mercury (Hg)
emissions test methods for potential use in conjunction with an
existing regulatory requirement for Hg emissions monitoring specified
in the Federal Register on May 18, 2005, as well as several revisions
to the mercury monitoring provisions themselves. Since that Federal
Register publication, EPA has received numerous comments concerning the
desirability of EPA evaluating and allowing use of the measurement
techniques addressed in the two optional methods in lieu of the methods
identified in the cited Federal Register publication, as they can
produce equally acceptable measures of the relative accuracy achieved
by Hg monitoring systems. This action would allow use of these two
optional methods entirely at the discretion of the owner or operator of
an affected emission source in place of the two currently specified
methods. This also proposes to amend Performance Specification 12A by
adding Methods 30A and 30B to the list of reference methods acceptable
for measuring Hg concentration and to amend the Hg monitoring
provisions of May 18, 2005, to reflect technical insights since gained
by EPA which will help to facilitate their implementation including
clarification and increased regulatory flexibility for affected
sources.

DATES: Written comments must be received by October 9, 2007.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2007-0164, by mail to ``Two Optional Methods for Relative Accuracy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Why Is EPA Issuing This Proposal?

    This document proposes to take action on ``Two Optional Methods for
Relative Accuracy Test Audits of Mercury Monitoring Systems Installed
on Combustion Flue Gas Streams and Several Amendments to Related
Mercury Monitoring Provisions.'' We have published a direct final rule
to approve two optional Hg emissions test methods and to amend the Hg
monitoring provisions of May 18, 2005 for clarity and increased
regulatory flexibility because we view this as a noncontroversial
action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have explained our reasons
for this action in the preamble to the direct final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating which provisions
we are withdrawing and informing the public that those provisions will
not take effect. The provisions that are not withdrawn will become
effective on the date set out above, notwithstanding adverse comment on
any other provision. We would address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must

do so at this time. For further information, please see the information
provided in the ADDRESSES section of this document.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be affected by this
direct final rule. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this direct final rule to a particular entity, consult
either the air permit authority for the entity or your EPA regional
representative as listed in 40 CFR 63.13.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to review under the EO.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed
to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information, unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule 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 purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business whose parent
company has fewer than 100 or 1,000 employees, or fewer than 4 billion
kilowatt-hr per year of electricity usage, depending on the size
definition for the affected North American Industry Classification
System code; (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 is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This
proposed rule will not impose any requirements on small entities
because it does not impose any additional regulatory requirements, but
rather provides clarification and additional regulatory flexibilty.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Pub.
L. 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement
is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify
and consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt
the least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative
that achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205
do not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective, or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted. Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, including tribal governments, it must have developed under
section 203 of the UMRA a small government agency plan. The plan must
provide for notifying potentially affected small governments, enabling
officials of affected small governments to have meaningful and timely
input in the development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and
advising small governments on compliance with the regulatory
requirements.
    EPA has determined that this proposed rule does not contain a
Federal mandate that may result in expenditures of $100 million or more
for State, local, and tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the
private sector in any 1 year, nor does this rule significantly or
uniquely impact small governments, because it contains no requirements
that impose new obligations upon them. Thus, this direct final rule is
not subject to the

requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.''
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that 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.''
    This proposed rule 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 use of these methods is
optional on the part of the regulated entities listed. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to this direct final rule.

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

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have tribal implications.'' This direct final rule does
not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. It
will not have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, 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. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this proposed rule.

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

    Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children from Environmental
health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) applies
to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant''
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action
meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health
or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that are based on health or safety risks, such that
the analysis required under section 5-501 of the Order has the
potential to influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental
standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.

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

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law No. 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This
rulemaking involves technical standards. Consistent with the NTTAA, EPA
in a previous related rulemaking (70 FR 28606, May 18, 2005) identified
an acceptable VCS for measuring Hg emissions. The standard ASTM D6784-
02, Standard Test Method for Elemental, Oxidized, Particle-Bound and
Total Mercury Gas Generated from Coal-Fired Stationary sources (Ontario
Hydro Method) was cited in that final rule for measuring Hg emissions.
After today's action becomes effective, the Ontario Hydro Method will
remain an acceptable method for measuring Hg emissions.

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.
    EPA has determined that this direct final rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. This direct final rule does not affect or relax the
control measures on sources impacted by this rule and therefore will
not cause emissions increases from these sources.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA was notified by Quest (now Daher Aircraft Design, LLC) that
the performance section in the Kodiak 100 Series POH/AFM, revisions 8
through 21, and supplement 5, initial release and revision 01, to the
POH/AFM were published with incorrect low weight landing distances in
the ``Obstacle Landing Distance'' tables. The landing distances for
6,000 lbs., 5,000 lbs., and 4,000 lbs. were incorrectly calculated and
show values up to 520 feet shorter than actual expected performance.
However, the landing distances for 6,690 lbs. are accurate.
    Model Kodiak 100 airplanes were originally type certificated with a
gross weight of 6,690 lbs. Under an amended type certificate, serial
numbers 100-0035 and subsequent were produced with an increased gross
weight configuration of 7,255 lbs. and delivered with a POH/AFM
(revisions 8 through 21) that contained limitations and performance
data for the increased gross weight. For airplanes with serial numbers
produced before 100-0035, Quest issued Service Notice SN-025 as an
optional retrofit to increase the gross weight. Airplanes retrofitted
with SN-025 were provided a supplement 5 to the POH/AFM (revision 1
through 7) that contained the limitations and performance changes
associated with the increased gross weight.
    Quest issued revision 22 of the POH/AFM to correct the landing
distances data in the ``Obstacle Landing Distance'' table and to
correct other errors and inconsistencies throughout the document.
    If not corrected, incorrect obstacle landing distances for weights
below max gross weight could result in a runway overrun. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Table 5-19: Obstacle Landing Distance, pages 5_68
and 5_69, of Section 5, Performance, of the KODIAK 100 Series Aircraft
Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA Approved Airplane Flight Manual
(Document No: AM901.0), Revision 22, dated April 10, 2019. These pages
contain correct landing distance data in the ``Obstacle Landing
Distance'' table. 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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Quest Safety Communique, QSC-011, Revision 00,
dated April 1, 2019. This document notifies owner/operators of the
incorrect data in the ``Obstacle Landing Distance'' table and
recommends they revise their procedures until the corrected data is
available.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because it evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires revising the performance section of the POH/AFM or
supplement 5 to the POH/AFM by removing the existing ``Obstacle Landing
Distance'' table and replacing it with the ``Obstacle Landing
Distance'' table found in revision 22 of the POH/AFM. This AD specifies
that the owner/operator (pilot) may revise the AFM. Revising an AFM is
not considered a maintenance action and may be done by a pilot holding
at least a private pilot certificate. This action must be recorded in
the aircraft maintenance records to show compliance with this AD.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    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 waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because a pilot using discrepant obstacle landing distance data could
result in overrunning the runway on landing. Since the runway overrun
could occur on any landing, the FAA requires compliance with this AD
before further flight. Therefore, the FAA finds good cause that notice
and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable. In
addition, for the reason stated above, the FAA finds that good cause
exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, the FAA invites you to send any written data, views,
or arguments about this final rule. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2020-
0181 and Product Identifier 2019-CE-026-AD at the beginning of your
comments. The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall
regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this final
rule. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date
and may amend this final rule because of those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments received, without change, to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide.
The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this final rule.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 99 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
              Action                      Labor cost             Parts cost           product        operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace the ``Obstacle Landing      .5 work-hour x $85     Not applicable.......          $42.50       $4,207.50
 Distance'' table.                   per hour = $42.50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This AD allows the owner/operator (pilot) to replace the affected
table in the POH/AFM or supplement 5 to the POH/AFM required by this
AD. According to Quest, they will provide one full copy of Quest
Aircraft KODIAK 100 Series Aircraft Pilot's Operating Handbook and FAA
Approved Airplane Flight Manual (Document No: AM901.0), Revision 22,
dated April 10, 2019, to operators. However, the FAA does not control
warranty coverage for affected individuals.

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

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 FAA has determined
that it has good cause to adopt this rule without notice and comment,
RFA analysis is not required.

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.

Results of the Monte Carlo Analysis for Application of Biosolids to Agricultural Land

Fixed Sample at 1000 ppt TEQ Table 1 through Table 10 presents a summary of the risk results for the adult and child farmer receptors evaluated by the Monte Carlo analysis using the median sample concentration from the 2001 National Sewage Sludge Survey ( NSSS) scaled to be 1000 ppt. The Monte Carlo results are presented for the 50th, the 75th, the 90th, and the 95th percentiles from the distribution of risk for each pathway. For the application to agricultural land scenario the receptor of concern is a farmer who applies biosolids to his crops and pasture. The pathways considered in this scenario are the ingestion of soil, above ground produce, root vegetable, beef, milk, poultry, egg, and fish, and inhalation of ambient air and breastmilk ingestion by the infant. The risk percentiles for each pathway were selected independently and do not necessarily correspond to the same inputs ( i. e., the 90th percentile risk for the above ground vegetable ingestion may not be the risk from vegetable ingestion used to calculate the 90th percentile total risk). These tables show that the driving pathways for risk from the use of biosolids on agricultural fields are the beef and milk pathways. These pathways show risks at least an order of magnitude higher than any other pathway. The risks in these tables are calculated using the Cancer Slope Factor for TCDD of 1.56 x 105 ( mg/ kg d) 1. If a new different slope factor is used the results can be scaled accordingly.
