 BILLING CODE 9111-19-P


elapsed from the initiation of the prioritization process for the
chemical substance.
    (d) Hazard assessment. (1) The hazard information relevant to the
chemical substance will be evaluated using endpoints identified in the
final scope document published pursuant to paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this
section, for the identified exposure scenarios, including any
identified potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation(s).
    (2) The hazard assessment process will identify the types of
hazards to health or the environment posed by the chemical substance.
This process includes the identification, evaluation, and synthesis of
information to describe the potential health effects of the chemical
substance.
    (3) Based on the final scope document published pursuant to
paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this section, potential human and environmental
hazard endpoints will be evaluated, including, as appropriate; acute,
subchronic, and chronic effects during various stages of reproduction
or life stage.
    (4) The relationship between the dose of the chemical substance and
the occurrence of human and environmental health effects or outcomes
will be evaluated.
    (5) Studies evaluated may include, but would not be limited to:
Human epidemiological studies, in vivo and/or in vitro laboratory
studies, mechanistic or kinetic studies in a variety of test systems,
including but not limited to toxicokinetics and toxicodynamics,
computational toxicology, data from structure-activity relationships,
high-throughput assays, genomic response assays, and ecological field
data.
    (6) Hazard identification will include an evaluation of the
strengths and limitations of the reasonably available information.
    (7) Human health hazard assessment. The hazard assessment will
consider all potentially exposed and susceptible subpopulation(s)
determined to be relevant, as identified in the final scope document
published pursuant to paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this section. Reasonably
available information used to characterize risk to susceptible
subpopulation(s) may include, but may not be limited to:
    (i) Population-based epidemiology studies that identify risk
factors and susceptible subpopulations;
    (ii) Information related to geographic location of subpopulations;
    (iii) Models that represent health effects of relevant
subpopulations; and
    (iv) Any other relevant, scientifically valid information,
methodology, or extrapolation.
    (8) Environmental health hazard assessment. The relationship
between the chemical substance and the occurrence of an ecological
hazard elicited will be evaluated using reasonably available
information including but not limited to: Field or laboratory
measurements, modeling strategies, extrapolations or incident data.
    (e) Exposure assessment. (1) Where relevant, the likely duration,
intensity, frequency, and number of exposures under the conditions of
use will be considered.
    (2) For the conditions of use, exposures will be evaluated using
reasonably available information.
    (3) Chemical-specific factors including, but not limited to:
Physical- chemical properties and environmental fate parameters will be
examined.
    (4) Human health exposure assessment. The exposure assessment will
consider all potentially exposed and susceptible subpopulation(s)
determined to be relevant, as identified in the final scope document
published pursuant to paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this section. Reasonably
available information used to characterize exposure to susceptible
subpopulation(s) may include:
    (i) Population-based epidemiology studies that identify risk
factors and susceptible subpopulations;
    (ii) Information related to geographic location of subpopulations;
    (iii) Models that represent exposure or health effects of relevant
subpopulations; and
    (iv) Any other relevant, scientifically valid information or
methodology.
    (5) Environmental health exposure assessment. (i) The environmental
health exposure assessment will characterize and evaluate the
interaction of the chemical substance with the ecological
characteristics identified in the final scope document published
pursuant to paragraph (c)(6)(iv) of this section.
    (ii) Exposures considered will include individuals as well as
communities, depending on the chemical substance and the ecological
characteristic involved.

Sec.  702.41   Risk characterization and peer review procedures.

    (a) Risk Characterization Considerations. EPA will: (1) Integrate
the hazard and exposure assessments into quantitative and/or
qualitative estimates of risk for the identified populations (including
any potentially exposed or susceptible subpopulation(s) identified in
the final scope document published pursuant to 40 CFR 703.39(c)(6)(iv)
and ecological characteristics for the conditions of use; and
    (2) Describe whether aggregate or sentinel exposures under the
conditions of use were considered and the basis for that consideration.
    (b) The Risk Characterization will summarize, as applicable, the
considerations addressed throughout the evaluation components, in
carrying out the obligations under 15 U.S.C. 2625(h). This summary will
include, as appropriate, a discussion of:
    (1) Considerations regarding uncertainty and variability.
Information about uncertainty and variability in each step of the risk
evaluation (e.g., use of default assumptions, scenarios, choice of
models and information used for quantitative analysis) will be
integrated into an overall characterization and/or analysis of the
impact of the uncertainty and variability on estimated risks. EPA may
describe the uncertainty using a qualitative assessment of the overall
strength and limitations of the data used in the assessment.
    (2) Considerations of data quality. A discussion of issues
associated with data quality (e.g., reliability, relevance, and whether
methods employed to generate the information are reasonable for and
consistent with the intended use of the information), as well as
assumptions used, will be included to the extent necessary. EPA also
expects to include a discussion of the extent of independent
verification or peer review of the information or of the procedures,
measures, methods, protocols, methodologies, or models used in the risk
evaluation.
    (3) Considerations of alternative interpretations. If appropriate
and

relevant, a discussion of alternative interpretations of the data and
analyses will be included.
    (4) Considerations for environmental risk evaluations. For
environmental risk evaluations, it may be necessary to discuss the
nature and magnitude of the effects, the spatial and temporal patterns
of the effects, implications at the individual, species, and community
level, and the likelihood of recovery subsequent to exposure to the
chemical substance.
    (c) Peer Review. The EPA Peer Review Handbook (2015), the Office of
Management and Budget Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer
Review (OMB Bulletin), or other available, relevant and applicable
methods consistent with 15 U.S.C. 2625, will serve as the guidance for
peer review activities. Peer review will be conducted on the risk
evaluations for the chemical substances identified pursuant to 15
U.S.C. 2605(b)(4)(A).

Sec.  702.43   Unreasonable risk determination.

    The EPA will determine whether the chemical substance presents an
unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment under the
conditions of use as identified in the final scope document published
pursuant to 40 CFR 702.39(c)(6)(iv).

Sec.  702.45   Risk evaluation timeframes and actions.

    (a) Draft risk evaluation timeframe. The EPA will publish a draft
risk evaluation in the Federal Register and provide no less than a 30-
day comment period, during which time the public may submit comment on
EPA's draft risk evaluation.
    (1) EPA will open a docket to facilitate receipt of public comment.
    (2) All comments that could be raised on the matters addressed and
issues presented in the draft risk evaluation must be presented during
this comment period. Any issues not raised at this time will be
considered to have been waived, and may not form the basis for an
objection or challenge in any subsequent administrative or judicial
proceeding.
    (b) Final risk evaluation. (1) EPA will complete a risk evaluation
for the chemical substance as soon as practicable, but not later than 3
years after the date on which the Agency initiates the risk evaluation.
    (2) The Agency may extend the deadline for a risk evaluation for
not more than 6 months.
    (3) EPA will publish the final risk evaluation in the Federal
Register.
    (c) Final determination of unreasonable risk. Upon determination by
the EPA that a chemical substance does present an unreasonable risk of
injury to health or the environment, the Agency will initiate action as
required pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 2605(a).
    (d) Final determination of no unreasonable risk. A determination by
the EPA that the chemical substance does not present an unreasonable
risk of injury to health or the environment will be issued by order and
considered to be a final EPA action, effective on the date of issuance
of the order.
    (c) Reassessment. EPA may reassess an unreasonable risk
determination based on a review of available information.

Sec.  702.47   Publically available information.

    For each risk evaluation, EPA will maintain a public docket at
http://www.regulations.gov to provide public access to the following
information, as applicable for that risk evaluation:
    (1) The draft scope, final scope, draft risk evaluation, and final
risk evaluation;
    (2) All notices, determinations, findings, consent agreements, and
orders;
    (3) Any information required to be provided to the Agency under 15
U.S.C. 2603;
    (4) A nontechnical summary of the risk evaluation;
    (5) A list of the studies, with the results of the studies,
considered in carrying out each risk evaluation;
    (6) The final peer review report, including the response to peer
review comments; and
    (7) Response documents to the public comments on the draft risk
evaluation.

    Title: NSPS for Stationary Source Combustion Turbines (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2177.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0582.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Stationary Source Combustion Turbines were proposed on February 18,
2005, and promulgated on July 6, 2006. The standards apply to
stationary combustion turbines with a heat input at peak load equal to
or greater than 10.7 gigajoules (10 MMMBtu) per hour, based on the
higher heating value of the fuel, which commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after February 18, 2005. The pollutants
regulated by this subpart are nitrogen oxide (NOX) and
sulfur dioxide (SO2).
    Owners or operators of stationary source combustion turbines are
required to submit an initial notification of compliance report. In
addition, owners or operators are required to submit stack tests,
continuous emission monitoring, performance tests and periodic reports.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. Semiannual reports are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least two years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
    All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKKK, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and 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. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently
changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of stationary
source combustion turbines.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 307.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 32,075.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,983,850 in labor costs and no
capital/startup or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase of 16,066
hours in the total estimated labor hour burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens because the standard is
now fully implemented. The increase is not due to any program changes.
The previous ICR covered the initial phase of the standard
implementation, which occurred over a three-year period. Hence, the
average number of respondents during the initial phase is less than the
number of respondents when the standard is fully implemented. This ICR
shows the labor hour and cost burden after full implementation.

    Dated: October 20, 2009.

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On January 7, 2021, FMCSA published a notice announcing its
decision to renew exemptions for 66 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) to operate a CMV in interstate
commerce and requested comments from the public (86 FR 697). The public
comment period ended on February 5, 2021, and one comment was received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that renewing these exemptions would achieve a level of
safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved
by complying with the current regulation Sec.  391.41(b)(10).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding vision
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(10) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has distant visual acuity of at
least 20/40 (Snellen) in each eye without corrective lenses or visual
acuity separately corrected to 20/40 (Snellen) or better with
corrective lenses, distant binocular acuity of a least 20/40 (Snellen)

Registration Review; Draft Human Health and Ecological Risk
Assessment; Notice of Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the availability of EPA's draft human
health and ecological risk assessments for the registration review for
2-(decylthio) ethanamine hydrochloride (DTEA-HCl), flumetsulam,
paclobutrazol, and trinexapac-ethyl, and opens a public comment period
on these documents. Registration review is EPA's periodic review of
pesticide registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to
satisfy the statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide
can

perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
human health or the environment. As part of the registration review
process, the Agency has completed comprehensive draft risk assessments
for each of the subject chemicals and is making them available for
public comment. After reviewing comments received during the public
comment period, EPA will issue revised risk assessments, if
appropriate, explain any changes to the draft risk assessments, and
respond to comments and may request public input on risk mitigation
before completing a proposed registration review decision for each of
the subject chemicals. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

 A. Does this action apply to me?

    This action is directed to the public in general, and may be of
interest to a wide range of stakeholders including environmental, human
health, farm worker, and agricultural advocates; the chemical industry;
pesticide users; and members of the public interested in the sale,
distribution, or use of pesticides. Since others also may be
interested, the Agency has not attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this action. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the Chemical Review Manager listed in Table 1 in Unit III.A.
for the pesticide of interest.

 B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI in a disk or CD-ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version
of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the
comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be
submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticides discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the pesticides
identified in this document pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5). When used in accordance with widespread and commonly
recognized practice, the pesticide product must perform its intended
function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment; that
is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the environment, or a human
dietary risk from residues that result from the use of a pesticide in
or on food.

III. Registration Reviews

 A. What action is the agency taking?

    As directed by FIFRA section 3(g), EPA is reviewing the pesticide
registrations for 2-(decylthio) ethanamine hydrochloride (DTEA-HCl),
flumetsulam, paclobutrazol, and trinexapac-ethyl to ensure they
continue to satisfy the FIFRA standard for registration--that is, that
these pesticides can still be used without unreasonable adverse effects
on human health or the environment.
    At this stage in the registration review process, consistent with
the changes to the registration review process

announced on March 27, 2013, jointly developed with the U.S. Department
of Agriculture, the National Marine Fisheries Service, and the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service (``the Services'') to enhance opportunities
for stakeholder input during pesticide registration reviews and
endangered species consultations, draft environmental risk assessments
include an evaluation of the potential risks to federally listed
endangered and threatened species (hereafter referred to as ``listed
species''). EPA intends to complete refined assessments of potential
risks to individual listed species, as needed. The refined listed
species assessments will be based on the recommendations of the
National Research Council (NRC), which has been tasked with providing
advice on ecological risk assessment tools and scientific approaches in
developing listed species risk assessments that are compliant with both
FIFRA and the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The NRC report, issued
April 30, 2013, provides recommendations to ensure scientific soundness
and maximize the utility of risk assessment refinements for listed
species. Additional information can be found at the following Web site:
http://www8.nationalacademies.org/cp/projectview.aspx?key=49396.
    Revisions to risk assessments will likely reflect Agency review of
the report and any associated methodology and science policy based on
the report's recommendations. Refinements to the listed species
assessments may include, but not be limited to, the following:
     More detailed, species-specific ecological and biological
data.
     More detailed and accurate information on chemical use
patterns.
     Sub-county level spatial proximity data depicting the co-
occurrence of potential effects areas and listed species and any
designated critical habitat.

In the event that a draft risk assessment shows risks of concern to
human health or the environment for a specific chemical, EPA reserves
the right to initiate mitigation at this stage of registration review.
This effort to mitigate a chemical's risks early in the registration
review process is consistent with the Agency's approach for
registration review. Where risks are identified early in the
registration review process and opportunities for early mitigation
exist, the Agency may pursue those opportunities as they arise, rather
then waiting for completion of a chemical's registration review in
order to mitigate risks. The public comment period for the draft risk
assessments allows members of the public to provide comments and
suggestions for revising the draft risk assessments and for reducing
risks.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.53(c), EPA is providing an opportunity,
through this notice of availability, for interested parties to provide
comments and input concerning the Agency's draft human health and
ecological risk assessments for 2-(decylthio) ethanamine hydrochloride
(DTEA-HCl), flumetsulam, paclobutrazol, and trinexapac-ethyl. Such
comments and input could address, among other things, the Agency's risk
assessment methodologies and assumptions, as applied in these draft
risk assessments. The Agency will consider all comments received during
the public comment period and make changes, as appropriate, to the
draft human health and ecological risk assessments. EPA will then issue
revised risk assessments, if appropriate, explain any changes to the
draft risk assessment, and respond to comments. In the Federal Register
notice announcing the availability of the revised risk assessments, if
the revised risk assessments indicate risks of concern, the Agency may
provide a comment period for the public to submit suggestions for
mitigating the risks identified in those revised risk assessments
before developing proposed registration review decisions on
flumetsulam, paclobutrazol, and 2-(decylthio) ethanamine hydrochloride
(DTEA-HCI) trinexapac-ethyl. At present, EPA is releasing registration
review draft risk assessments for the pesticide cases identified in the
following table and further described in this unit.

     2-(decylthio) ethanamine hydrochloride (DTEA-
HCl). The registration review docket for 2-(decylthio) ethanamine
hydrochloride (DTEA-HCl) (EPA-HQ-OPP-2009-0336) opened in the Federal
Register issue of June 24, 2009 (74 FR 30070) (FRL-8421-8). DTEA-HCl is
registered for use in recirculating cooling water systems to control
bacterial, fungal and algal slimes. Examples of DTEA-HCl use sites
include evaporative condenser water systems, heat exchange water
systems, commercial and industrial cooling towers, influent systems
such as flow-through filters and lagoons, industrial scrubbing systems,
and brewery pasteurizer water systems. The Agency has conducted a
qualitative human health risk assessment for the dietary (food and
drinking water) pathway. The residential and occupational exposure
pathways were not assessed because these exposures are not expected to
occur. The Agency has conducted a quantitative ecological risk
assessment, which includes a screening-level listed species assessment.
EPA acknowledges that further refinements to the listed species
assessment will be completed in future revisions and requests public
comment on specific areas that will reduce the uncertainties associated
with the characterization of risk to listed species identified in the
current assessment.

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0973]

Random Drug Testing Rate for Covered Crewmembers

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of minimum random drug testing rate.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has set the calendar year 2012 minimum random
drug testing rate at 50 percent of covered crewmembers.

DATES: The minimum random drug testing rate is effective January 1,
2012 through December 31, 2012. Marine employers must submit their 2011
Management Information System (MIS) reports no later than March 15,
2012.

ADDRESSES: Annual MIS reports may be submitted to Commandant (CG-545),
U.S. Coast Guard Headquarters, 2100 Second Street SW., STOP 7561,
Washington, DC 20593-7581 or by electronic submission to the following
Internet address: http://homeport.uscg.mil/Drugtestreports.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For questions about this notice,
please contact Mr. Robert C. Schoening, Drug and Alcohol Program
Manager, Office of Investigations and Casualty Analysis (CG-545), U.S.
Coast Guard Headquarters, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you have
questions on viewing or submitting material to the docket, call Renee
V. Wright, Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone (202) 366-
9826.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard requires marine employers to
establish random drug testing programs for covered crewmembers on
inspected and uninspected vessels in accordance with 46 CFR 16.230.
Every marine employer is required by 46 CFR 16.500 to collect and
maintain a record of drug testing program data for each calendar year,
and submit this data by 15 March of the following year to the Coast
Guard in an annual MIS report.
    Each year, the Coast Guard will publish a notice reporting the
results of random drug testing for the previous calendar year's MIS
data and the minimum annual percentage rate for random drug testing for
the next calendar year. The purpose of setting a minimum random drug
testing rate is to assist the Coast Guard in analyzing its current
approach for deterring and detecting illegal drug abuse in the maritime
industry.
    The Coast Guard announces that the minimum random drug testing rate
for calendar year 2012 is 50 percent. The Coast Guard may lower this
rate if, for two consecutive years, the drug test positive rate is less
than 1.0 percent, in accordance with 46 CFR part 16.230(f)(2). MIS data
for 2010 indicates that the positive rate is less than one percent
industry-wide (0.740 percent). This is the first year ever that the
positive rate has been below 1% for the marine transportation industry.
In accordance with Sec.  46 CFR part 16.230(f), the positive rate must
be lower than 1% for two consecutive years before the random rate is
eligible to be reduced to 25%. For 2012, the minimum random drug
testing rate will continue at 50 percent of covered employees for the
period of January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012 in accordance with
46 CFR 16.230(e).

    Dated: December 14, 2011.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2007-0337; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-111-AD;
Amendment 39-15392; AD 2008-04-20]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321
Series Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    During planned maintenance visit on two aircraft, corrosion was
found on the upper surface of the wing lower skin panel N[deg]1,
inside the Right Hand (RH) inboard dry bay.
    It was discovered that [certain] access panels * * * had been
omitted from the access requirements of the associated AMM (airplane
maintenance manual) task (AMM 05-25-40) until the August 2001
revision.
    The result is that some * * * inspections may have not been
fully accomplished due to non-removal of [certain] panels * * *.
    If the area has not been inspected with the correct access, and
if AIRBUS Service Bulletin (SB) A320-57-1121 has not been performed,
then some aircraft could remain insufficiently inspected until the
next scheduled inspection. This may result in a high risk of
corrosion findings greater than level 1.

Corrosion findings greater than level 1 in the wing could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane. We are issuing this AD to
require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective April 3, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 3,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December 17, 2007
(72 FR 71284). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for
the specified products. The MCAI states:

    During planned maintenance visit on two aircraft, corrosion was
found on the upper surface of the wing lower skin panel N[deg]1,
inside the Right Hand (RH) inboard dry bay.
    It was discovered that access panels 540CZ, 540DZ, 640CZ and
640DZ had been omitted from the access requirements of the
associated AMM (airplane maintenance manual) task (AMM 05-25-40)
until the August 2001 revision.
    The result is that some ZL-540-02-1 or ZL-540-02 (or ZL-540-02
and ZL-640-02) inspections may have not been fully accomplished due
to non-removal of panels 540CZ, 540DZ, 640CZ and 640DZ.
    If the area has not been inspected with the correct access, and
if AIRBUS Service Bulletin (SB) A320-57-1121 has not been performed,
then some aircraft could remain insufficiently inspected until the
next scheduled inspection. This may result in a high risk of
corrosion findings greater than level 1.

Corrosion findings greater than level 1 in the wing could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane. The corrective actions
include an inspection for corrosion in the wing tank dry bay, and
repair if necessary. You may obtain further information by examining
the MCAI in the AD docket.

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 the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 103 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 4 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $32,960, or $320 per
product.

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 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); and
    3. 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.

    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective April 3,
2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Airbus Model A319, A320, and A321 series
airplanes, certificated in any category, all certified models, all
serial numbers, on which Airbus A318/A319/A320/A321 Maintenance
Review Board Report (MRBR) zonal tasks ZL-540-02 and ZL-640-02 (for
MRBR up to Revision 7) or MRBR zonal task ZL-540-02-1 or ZL-540-02-2
(for MRBR since Revision 8) have already been performed before the
effective date of this AD, and for which it cannot be substantiated

540-02 covered Zone 540 and ZL-640-02 covered Zone 640. Since Airbus
A318/A319/A320/A321 MRBR Revision 8, ZL-540-02-1 or ZL-540-02-2 also
cover the corresponding RH wing zone (Zone 640).

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57: Wings.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    During planned maintenance visit on two aircraft, corrosion was
found on the upper surface of the wing lower skin panel N[deg]1,
inside the Right Hand (RH) inboard dry bay.
    It was discovered that access panels 540CZ, 540DZ, 640CZ and
640DZ had been omitted from the access requirements of the
associated AMM task (AMM 05-25-40) until the August 2001 revision.
    The result is that some ZL-540-02-1 or ZL-540-02-2 (or ZL-540-02
and ZL-640-02) inspections may have not been fully accomplished due
to non-removal of panels 540CZ, 540DZ, 640CZ and 640DZ.
    If the area has not been inspected with the correct access, and
if AIRBUS Service Bulletin (SB) A320-57-1121 has not been performed,
then some aircraft could remain insufficiently inspected until the
next scheduled inspection. This may result in a high risk of
corrosion findings greater than level 1.

Corrosion findings greater than level 1 in the wing could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane. The corrective actions
include an inspection for corrosion in the wing tank dry bay, and
repair if necessary.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions. Within 14
months after the effective date of this AD, perform a detailed
visual inspection of the wing tank dry bay to detect corrosion and
if any corrosion is found, before further flight, contact Airbus for
repair instructions and repair. Do all applicable actions in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service
Bulletin A320-57-1121, dated October 9, 2002. Another approved
method for doing the detailed inspection and applicable corrective
actions is the accomplishment of one of the following Airbus A318/
A319/A320/A321 ALI/MRBR tasks: 572004-01-X, 572004-03-X; 572020-01-
X, 572020-02-X; 572027-01-X, 572027-03-X; 572053-01-X, 572053-02-X;
572060-02-X; or 572061-02-X; and ZL-540-02-X if panels 540CZ, 540DZ,
640CZ, and 640DZ have been removed; where X represents the task
applicability index.

33 CFR Part 167

[USCG-2011-0351]

Port Access Route Study: The Atlantic Coast From Maine to Florida

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces the availability of the final report
issued by the Atlantic Coast Port Access Route Study (ACPARS)
workgroup. The Coast Guard welcomes comments on the report.

DATES: Comments and related material must reach the Docket Management
Facility on or before April 13, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2011-0351 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this notice
of study contact Patrick Wycko, ACPARS Project Manager, telephone 757-
398-6355, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background and Purpose. The Atlantic Coast Port Access Route Study
workgroup (WG) was chartered on May 11, 2011 and was given three
objectives to complete within the limits of available resources: (1)
Determine whether the Coast Guard should initiate actions to modify or
create safety fairways, Traffic Separation Schemes or other routing
measures; (2) Provide data, tools and/or methodology to assist in
future determinations of waterways suitability for proposed projects;
and (3) Develop, in the near term, Automatic Identification System
(AIS) products and provide other support as necessary to assist
Districts with all emerging coastal and offshore energy projects. The
Coast Guard published the WG's Interim Report in the Federal Register
(77 FR 55781; Sep. 11, 2012), with the status of efforts up to that
date. The Interim Report concluded that modeling and analysis tools, as
described in the Phase 3 section of the report, were critical to
determine if routing measures are appropriate and to evaluate the
changes in navigational safety risk resulting from different siting and
routing scenarios. The charter for the WG was extended pending
completion of the modeling and analysis. The modeling and analysis
efforts concluded in the fall of 2014, but did not produce a model
capable of accurately predicting changes in vessel routes and
determining the resultant change in the risk to navigation safety.
During this period, the WG continued gathering data and conducting
stakeholder outreach. The availability and usability of processed AIS
data has greatly improved, as has the ability to analyze the AIS data.
The Coast Guard contracted the services of a Geographic Information
System analyst to support efforts to better characterize vessel traffic
and further explore creating initial proposals for routing measures

independent of the Phase 3 modeling and analysis. This enabled the
Coast Guard to improve its understanding of vessel routes, beyond the
understanding gleaned through generic heat maps. Based on comments by
the shipping industry and more recent literature on addressing shipping
during marine spatial planning, the WG conducted additional research
into the necessary sea space for vessels to maneuver in compliance with
the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea. This
research led to the development of recommended marine planning
guidelines. In addition, an effort focused on determining the
appropriate width of a navigation route was undertaken for alongshore
towing operations. These efforts enabled the WG to identify navigation
safety corridors along the Atlantic Coast that combine the width
necessary for navigation and additional buffer areas based on the
planning guidelines. The WG has also identified deep draft routes that
it recommends be given priority consideration to navigation over other
uses, to comply with the United Nations Convention of the Law of the
Sea. The final report will be available on the Federal Register docket
and also on the ACPARS Web site at www.uscg.mil/lantarea/acpars.
    This notice is issued under authority of 33 U.S.C. 1223(c) and 5
U.S.C. 552.
