[EPA-R04-RCRA-2019-0673; FRL-10008-85-Region 4]

Florida: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final authorization.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting Florida
final authorization for changes to its hazardous waste program under
the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Agency published
a Proposed Rule on February 25, 2020, and provided for public comment.
No comments were received during the comment period on this Proposed
Rule. No further opportunity for comment will be provided.

DATES: This final authorization is effective June 1, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R04-RCRA-2019-0673. All documents in the docket are
listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available electronically through http://www.regulations.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. What changes to Florida's hazardous waste program is EPA authorizing
with this action?

    Florida submitted a complete program revision application, dated
September 16, 2019, seeking authorization of changes to its hazardous
waste program in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21. EPA now makes a final
decision that Florida's hazardous waste program revisions that are
being authorized are equivalent to, consistent with, and no less
stringent than the Federal program, and therefore satisfy all of the
requirements necessary to qualify for final authorization. For a list
of State rules being authorized with this final authorization, please
see the Proposed Rule published in the February 25, 2020, Federal
Register at 85 FR 10643.

B. What is codification and is EPA codifying Florida's hazardous waste
program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing citations and references to
the State's statutes and regulations that comprise the State's
authorized hazardous waste program into the Code of Federal
Regulations. EPA does this by adding those citations and references to
the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. EPA is not codifying the
authorization of Florida's revisions at this time. However, EPA
reserves the ability to amend 40 CFR part 272, subpart K, for the
authorization of Florida's program changes at a later date.

C. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final authorization revises Florida's authorized hazardous
waste management program pursuant to Section 3006 of RCRA and imposes
no requirements other than those currently imposed by State law. For
further information on how this authorization complies with applicable
executive orders and statutory provisions, please see the Proposed Rule
published in the February 25, 2020, Federal Register at 85 FR 10643.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this document and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect
until 60 days after it is

published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). This final action will be effective June
1, 2020.

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 271

    Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure,
Confidential business information, Hazardous waste, Hazardous waste
transportation, Indian lands, Intergovernmental relations, Penalties,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

    Authority:  This action is issued under the authority of
sections 2002(a), 3006, and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and 6974(b).

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-1998; Directorate Identifier 2014-SW-035-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; MD Helicopters Inc.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for MD
Helicopters Inc. (MDHI) Model 500N and 600N helicopters with certain
rotating cone assemblies installed. This proposed AD would require
establishing a life limit of 10,000 hours time-in-service (TIS) on
these rotating cone assemblies. This proposed AD is prompted by the
determination that MDHI created rotating cone assemblies with new dash
numbers but incorrectly failed to identify them as life-limited parts.
The proposed actions are intended to prevent operation of rotating cone
assemblies past their life limits, failure of the rotating cone
assemblies, loss of directional control, and subsequent loss of control
of the helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by August 10, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for sending your
comments electronically.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
     Mail: Send comments to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to participate in this rulemaking by submitting
written comments, data, or views. We also invite comments relating to
the economic, environmental, energy, or federalism impacts that might
result from adopting the proposals in this document. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any

recommended change, and include supporting data. To ensure the docket
does not contain duplicate comments, commenters should send only one
copy of written comments, or if comments are filed electronically,
commenters should submit only one time.
    We will file in the docket all comments that we receive, as well as
a report summarizing each substantive public contact with FAA personnel
concerning this proposed rulemaking. Before acting on this proposal, we
will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing date for
comments. We will consider comments filed after the comment period has
closed if it is possible to do so without incurring expense or delay.
We may change this proposal in light of the comments we receive.

Discussion

    We propose to adopt a new AD for MDHI Model 500N helicopters with a
rotating cone assembly part number (P/N) 500N3740-81 installed and
Model 600N helicopters with a rotating cone assembly P/N 500N3740-71
installed. This proposed AD would require establishing a new life limit
for these part-numbered rotating cone assemblies. This proposed AD is
prompted by the determination that MDHI created rotating cone
assemblies with new dash numbers and did not identify them as life-
limited parts. Although these parts have a life limit of 10,000 hours
TIS, they were incorrectly omitted from the Airworthiness Limitation
Section of the Rotorcraft Flight Manual. MDHI reports that some of the
affected parts were sold as spares while others were installed on new
helicopters in production.
    The proposed actions are intended to prevent a rotating cone
assembly remaining in service beyond its fatigue life. This condition
could result in failure of the rotating cone assembly and subsequent
loss of control of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known relevant
information and determined that an unsafe condition exists and is
likely to exist or develop on other products of these same type
designs.

Related Service Information

    MDHI issued Service Bulletin SB500N-046 and SB600N-054 (SB) as a
single bulletin on July 9, 2012. The SB calls for a one-time inspection
within 100 flight hours to determine the rotating cone assembly's part
number on MDHI Model 500N and 600N helicopters. The SB then states to
correct the component record for certain rotating cone assemblies.
    The SB also specifies determining the rotating cone assembly's
total service time since new and recording this on the component
record. MDHI reports that failure to comply with the SB may result in
an aircraft exceeding the life limit of the rotating cone assembly and
that this could lead to component failure and loss of directional
control of the helicopter.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require within 1 year or at the next annual
inspection, whichever comes later:
     Creating a component history card or equivalent record for
the rotating cone assembly, P/N 500N3740-81 or P/N 500N3740-71,
whichever applies to your helicopter, and recording a life limit of
10,000 hours TIS.
     Revising the Airworthiness Limitations section of the
applicable maintenance manual or the Instruction for Continued
Airworthiness by establishing a new retirement life of 10,000 hours TIS
for each rotating cone assembly. Accomplish this requirement by making
pen-and-ink changes or inserting a copy of this AD into the applicable
maintenance manual or the Instruction for Continued Airworthiness.
     Removing from service any rotating cone assembly, P/N
500N3740-81 or P/N 500N3740-71, that has 10,000 or more hours TIS.
Installing rotating cone assembly, P/N 500N3740-81 or P/N 500N3740-71,
is prohibited unless you have complied with the previous requirements
of this AD.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The SB calls for inspecting the rotating cone assembly to determine
its P/N. We make no requirement about how to determine the P/N. The
compliance time for the SB is within 100 flight hours, while this
proposed AD would require compliance within 1 year or by the next
annual inspection, whichever comes later.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 8 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 a work hour. Based on
these estimates, we expect creating a component history card and
revising the appropriate records would take 1 work-hour. No parts would
be needed for a total cost of $85 per helicopter and $680 for the U.S.
fleet.

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 proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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, I certify this proposed regulation:
    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 to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

[Project No. 15088-000]

Daybreak Power, Inc.; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On January 19, 2021, Daybreak Power, Inc., filed an application for
a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), to study the feasibility of the Halverson Canyon Pumped Storage
Project to be located near Lake Roosevelt in Lincoln County,
Washington. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if issued, is to
grant the permit holder priority to file a license application during
the permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others without the owners' express
permission.
    The proposed pumped storage project would use the Bureau of
Reclamation's Lake Roosevelt as the lower reservoir and consist of the
following new facilities: (1) A 399-foot-high, rockfill concrete face
upper reservoir with an estimated usable volume of approximately 29,000
acre-feet, at a maximum operating elevation of 2,400 feet mean sea
level (msl); (2) a 10,015-foot long water conveyance system connecting
the upper and lower reservoirs composed of three 35-feet diameter
headrace tunnels, nine 13-feet diameter penstocks, and nine 15-feet
diameter draft tubes; (3) a 754-foot-long, 82-foot-wide, 128-foot-high
powerhouse containing nine 295-MW fixed-speed pump turbine/generation
units for a combined capacity of approximately 2,650 megawatts; (4) a
5-mile-long 765 kilovolts (kV) transmission line connecting the
powerhouse with Bonneville Powers Creston substation; and (5)
appurtenant facilities. The project intake would be on federal land.

the extent necessary to permit such purchases and redemptions. The
requested order would amend a prior order issued to the Applicants by
the Commission under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act for exemptions from
sections 12(d)(1)(A), (B) and (C) of the Act and sections 6(c) and
17(b) of the Act exempting certain transactions from section 17(a) of
the Act (``Prior Order'').\1\

Summary of the Application

    1. Applicants request an order under section 12(d)(1)(J) of the Act
granting an exemption from section 12(d)(1)(A) and (C) of the Act. The
order would permit a Fund \4\ (each a ``Fund of Funds'') to

invest in any BDC (``Underlying BDC'') that may or may not be part of
the ``same group of investment companies'' as the Fund of Funds. The
order would amend the Prior Order, which permits the Funds of Funds to
acquire shares of certain registered open-end management investment
companies, registered closed-end management investment companies, and
registered unit investment trusts that are within or outside the same
group of investment companies as the acquiring investment companies
(``Prior Underlying Funds'', and together with the Underlying BDCs, the
``Underlying Funds'') in excess of the limits in sections 12(d)(1)(A),
(B) and (C) of the Act.\5\ Applicants also request an order of
exemption under sections 6(c) and 17(b) of the Act from the prohibition
on certain affiliated transactions in section 17(a) of the Act to the
extent necessary to permit the Underlying BDCs to sell their shares to,
and redeem their shares from, the Funds of Funds. Applicants state that
such transactions will be consistent with the policies of each Fund of
Funds and each Underlying Fund and with the general purposes of the Act
and will generally be based on the net asset values of the Underlying
Funds.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Applicants request that the order apply to each existing and
future series of the Trusts and to each existing and future
registered open-end investment company or series thereof that is
advised by the Adviser or by any entity controlling, controlled by
or under common control with the Adviser and is part of the same
``group of investment companies'' as the Trusts (each, a ``Fund'').
For purposes of the requested order, the same ``group of investment
companies'' means any two or more registered investment companies
(including closed-end investment companies) or BDCs that hold
themselves out to investors as related companies for purposes of
investment and investor services.
    \5\ The Prior Order also exempts these transactions from section
17(a) to the extent necessary to permit such purchases and
redemptions by the Funds of Funds of shares of the Prior Underlying
Funds and to permit sales and redemptions by the Prior Underlying
Funds of their shares in transactions with each Fund of Funds.
    \6\ With regard to purchases of underlying closed-end investment
companies, the only sales transaction requiring relief from section
17(a) (a follow-on offering) generally must be priced at net asset
value (plus the cost of any distributing commission or discount)
unless the offering fits within a narrow range of exceptions that
are designed to limit overreaching by the selling fund. For this
reason, Applicants state that they do not believe that section 17(a)
relief to permit sales of shares by underlying closed-end investment
companies presents any different concerns or considerations than are
presented in connection with section 17(a) relief to permit sales of
shares by a BDC to a Fund of Funds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Applicants agree that any order granting the requested relief
will be subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prior Order,
as amended by the Application. Such terms and conditions are designed
to, among other things, help prevent any potential (i) undue influence
over an Underlying Fund that is not in the same ``group of investment
companies'' as the Fund of Funds through control or voting power, or in
connection with certain services, transactions, and underwritings, (ii)
excessive layering of fees, and (iii) overly complex fund structures,
which are the concerns underlying the limits in sections 12(d)(1)(A),
(B), and (C) of the Act. The Applicants do not believe that investments
in BDCs present any particular considerations or concerns that may be
different from those presented by investments in registered closed-end
investment companies. Moreover, Applicants believe that the terms and
conditions of the Prior Order that were designed to address the
concerns underlying section 12(d)(1) with regard to investments in
closed-end investment companies are sufficient to address those same
concerns with respect to investment in underlying BDCs.
    3. 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. Section 17(b) of the Act authorizes the
Commission to grant an order permitting a transaction otherwise
prohibited by section 17(a) if it finds that (a) the terms of the
proposed transaction are reasonable and fair and do not involve
overreaching on the part of any person concerned; (b) the proposed
transaction is consistent with the policies of each registered
investment company involved; and (c) the proposed transaction is
consistent with the general purposes of the Act. Section 6(c) of the
Act permits the Commission to exempt any persons or transactions from
any provision of the Act if 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.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Investment Management,
pursuant to delegated authority.
 Robert W. Errett,
 Deputy Secretary.
