Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Kentucky;
Stage II Requirements for Enterprise Holdings, Inc. at Cincinnati/
Northern Kentucky International Airport in Boone County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a source-specific State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted to EPA by the Commonwealth
of Kentucky, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ) on
April 25, 2013, for the purpose of exempting Enterprise Holdings, Inc.,
facility from the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) Stage II vapor control
requirements. The Enterprise Holdings, Inc., facility is currently
being constructed at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International
Airport in Boone County, Kentucky. EPA's proposed approval of this
revision to Kentucky's SIP is based on the December 12, 2006, EPA
policy memorandum from Stephen D. Page, entitled ``Removal of Stage II

II. Analysis of the Commonwealth's submittal

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    Under the CAA Amendments of 1990, EPA designated and classified
three Kentucky Counties (Boone, Campbell and Kenton) and four Ohio
Counties (Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren) as a ``moderate''
nonattainment area for the 1-hour ozone national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS) as part of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Area. See
56 FR 56694, effective January 6, 1992. The designation was based on
the Area's 1-hour ozone design value of 0.157 parts per million for the
three year period of 1988-1990.
    Pursuant to the requirements of section 182(b)(3) of the CAA, KDAQ
developed the Kentucky Administrative Regulations (KAR) 401 KAR 59:174
Stage II controls at gasoline dispensing facilities, and submitted the
rule to EPA for approval as part of Kentucky's ozone SIP. The rule was
adopted by Kentucky on January 12, 1998, and approved by EPA into the
SIP on December 8, 1998. See 63 FR 67586. Under this regulation,
gasoline dispensing facilities with a monthly throughput of 25,000
gallons or more located in a Kentucky County in which the entire County
is classified as severe, serious, or moderate nonattainment for ozone
are required to install Stage II vapor recovery systems.
    On October 29, 1999, having implemented all measures required of
Kentucky to that date for moderate ozone nonattainment areas under the
CAA, and with three years of data (1996-1998) showing compliance with
the 1-hour ozone standards, KDAQ submitted to EPA an ozone maintenance
plan and request for redesignation of the Kentucky portion of
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area to attainment status. The maintenance
plan, as required under section 175A of the CAA, showed that nitrogen
oxides and volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions in the Area would
remain below the 1990 ``attainment year's'' levels. In making these
projections KDAQ factored in the emissions benefit (primarily VOC) of
the Area's Stage II program, and did not remove this program from the
Kentucky SIP. The redesignation request and maintenance plan were
approved by EPA, effective June 19, 2000 (65 FR 37879).
    Since the Kentucky Stage II program was already in place and had
been included in the Commonwealth's October 29, 1999, redesignation
request and 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for the Area, KDAQ elected
not to remove the program from the SIP at that time. On April 6, 1994,
EPA promulgated regulations requiring the phase-in of onboard refueling
vapor recovery (ORVR) systems on new motor vehicles. Under section
202(a)(6) of the CAA, moderate ozone nonattainment areas are not
required to implement Stage II vapor recovery programs after
promulgation of ORVR standards.

II. Analysis of the Commonwealth's Submittal

    EPA's primary consideration for determining the approvability of
Kentucky's request to exempt Stage II vapor control requirements for
the Enterprise Holdings, Inc., facility

located at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in
Boone County is whether this requested action complies with section
110(l) of the CAA. Below is EPA's analysis of these considerations.

a. Federal Requirements for Stage II

    States were required to adopt Stage II rules for all areas
classified as ``moderate'' or worse under section 182(b)(3) of the CAA.
However, section 202(a)(6) of the CAA states that ``the requirements of
section 182(b)(3) (relating to Stage II gasoline vapor recovery) for
areas classified under section 181 as moderate for ozone shall not
apply after the promulgation of such [ORVR] standards.'' ORVR
regulations were promulgated by EPA on April 6, 1994. See 59 FR 16262,
and 40 CFR 86.001, .098). As a result, the CAA no longer requires
moderate areas to impose Stage II controls under section 182(b)(3), and
such areas may seek SIP revisions to remove such requirements from
their SIP, subject to section 110(l) of the Act. EPA's policy
memorandum related to ORVR, dated March 9, 1993, and June 23, 1993,
provided further guidance on an allowance for removing Stage II
requirements from certain areas. The policy memorandum dated March 9,
1993, states ``[w]hen onboard rules are promulgated, a State may
withdraw its Stage II rules for moderate areas from the SIP (or from
consideration as a SIP revisions) consistent with its obligation under
sections 182(b)(3) and 202(a)(6), so long as withdrawal will not
interfere with any other applicable requirements of the Act.'' Because
Kentucky is taking credit for Stage II in its maintenance plan, the
Commonwealth's request for a source specific exemption from the State
II vapor control requirements is subject to section 110(l) of the CAA.
    Section 110(l) of the Act provides that EPA cannot approve a SIP
revision if that revision interferes with any applicable requirement
regarding attainment, reasonable further progress (RFP) or any
requirement established in the CAA. EPA can approve a SIP revision that
removes or modifies control measures in the SIP once states make a
``noninterference'' demonstration that such a removal or modification
will not interfere with attainment of the NAAQS, RFP or any other CAA
requirement. As such, Kentucky must make a demonstration of
noninterference in order to exempt Stage II from the SIP for Enterprise
Holdings, Inc. facility located at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport in Boone County.

b. Cincinnati-Hamilton Interstate Area Air Quality Status

    With respect to ozone, on April 30, 2004, EPA designated the
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Area as nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. See 69 FR 23857. On January 29, 2010, the Commonwealth
submitted to EPA a redesignation request and maintenance plan for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. As a result the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
area was redesignated to attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS on
August 5, 2010 (75 FR 4718). EPA then designated portions of Boone,
Campbell and Kenton Counties in Kentucky as nonattainment for the 2008
8-hour ozone NAAQS as part of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
Nonattainment Area. This designation for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS
was effective July 20, 2012. See 77 FR 30088.
    With respect to PM, on July 18, 1997, EPA promulgated the first air
quality standards for PM2.5. EPA promulgated an annual
PM2.5 standard at a level of 15 micrograms per cubic meter
([mu]g/m\3\), based on a 3-year average of annual mean PM2.5
concentrations. In the same rulemaking, EPA promulgated a 24-hour
standard of 65 [mu]g/m\3\, based on a 3-year average of the 98th
percentile of 24-hour PM2.5 concentrations. On January 5,
2005, at 70 FR 944, and supplemented on April 14, 2005, at 70 FR 19844,
EPA designated Boone, Campbell, and Kenton Counties in Kentucky as part
of the Tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton Nonattainment Area for the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA subsequently clarified that the Tri-state Cincinnati-
Hamilton Area was classified unclassifiable/attainment for the 24-
hour NAAQS promulgated in 1997. See 74 FR 58688 (November 13, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 27, 2011, KDAQ submitted a request to redesignate the
Kentucky portion of the Tri-state Cincinnati-Hamilton Area
PM2.5 Nonattainment Area to attainment for the 1997 Annual
PM2.5 NAAQS based on 2007-2009 data. On December 15, 2011,
EPA published the final rulemaking redesignating the Area to attainment
for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. See 76 FR 77904.
    In 2006, EPA strengthened the primary and secondary 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS from 65 [mu]g/m\3\ to 35 [mu]g/m\3\, and
retained the current primary and secondary annual PM2.5
NAAQS at 15 [mu]g/m\3\. See 71 FR 61144, October 17, 2006. The revision
of the 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in 2006, triggered the
designation process for the NAAQS. The Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
Area was designated attainment for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. See
74 FR 58688, November 13, 2009.

c. Non-Interference Demonstration for Exemption of Stage II
Requirements.

    EPA is making the preliminary determination that Kentucky's April
25, 2013, proposed source-specific revision to the Kentucky SIP is
approvable based on the CAA and the December 12, 2006, EPA memorandum
from Stephen D. Page entitled, ``Removal of Stage II Vapor Recovery in
Situations Where Widespread use of On-board Refueling Vapor Recovery is
Demonstrated,'' which provides guidance to states concerning the
removal of Stage II gasoline vapor recovery systems where states
demonstrate to EPA that widespread use of ORVR has occurred in specific
portions of the motor vehicle fleet.
    As previously discussed, States were required to adopt Stage II
rules for such areas under section 182(b)(3) of the CAA. However,
section 202(a)(6) of the CAA provides that the requirements of section
182(b)(3) (relating to Stage II gasoline vapor recovery) for areas
classified as moderate for ozone shall not apply after the promulgation
of ORVR standards. In addition, section 202(a)(6) further provides that
the Administrator may, by rule, revise or waive the application of
requirements of section 182(b)(3) for areas classified as serious,
severe, or extreme for ozone.
    Section 202 ORVR regulations were promulgated by EPA on April 6,
1992, and the requirements of these regulations were phased in. In this
circumstance, EPA does not view section 202 as requiring a
determination of ``widespread'' use as is necessary for the source-
specific SIP revision for Stage II requirements for the Enterprise
Holdings, Inc. facility because the area is not designated as serious
or above for ozone. EPA, however, does view the widespread use analysis
as relevant toward satisfying the section 110(l) demonstration
necessary to exempt the Enterprise Holdings, Inc. facility from the
Stage II vapor control requirements.
    EPA believes the widespread use of ORVR has been sufficiently
demonstrated.\2\ EPA's December 12, 2006, memorandum states that if 95
percent of the vehicles in the fleet have ORVR, then widespread use
will likely have been demonstrated for that fleet.

The memorandum addresses the following specific fleets:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ On May 16, 2012, EPA made a determination that ORVR was in
widespread use throughout the motor vehicle fleet for purposes of
controlling motor vehicle refueling emissions. EPA estimated that
approximately 70 percent of all vehicles would be equipped with on-
board systems to capture these vapors by the end of 2012, rendering
the use of Stage II vapor recovery systems redundant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Initial fueling of new vehicles at automobile assembly
plants;
     Refueling of rental cars at rental car facilities; and
     Refueling of flexible fuel vehicles at E85 dispensing
pumps.
    Most large rental companies rent current model vehicles, that are
equipped with ORVR and vehicle models are updated to current year
models every year or two. The Commonwealth of Kentucky has confirmed
that 100 percent of the fleet will be equipped with 2006 model year
(first model year vehicles required to be equipped with ORVR) and newer
vehicles at the Enterprise Holdings, Inc., facility at the Cincinnati/
Northern Kentucky International Airport in Boone County.
    CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) prohibits facilities within the
State from emitting any air pollutants in amounts which will contribute
significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with maintenance by,
any other State with respect to any such national primary or secondary
ambient air quality standards. The only pollutant emitted by refueling
vehicles is VOC, which is a precursor of ozone, and its emissions are
mitigated by the use of vehicles equipped with ORVR. EPA has
preliminarily determined that Kentucky has adequately demonstrated that
ORVR is in widespread use and that the Stage II requirements of the
Kentucky SIP have been sufficiently supplanted by the ORVR such that
exemption of the Enterprise Holdings, Inc., facility from the Stage II
requirements would not interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned source-specific SIP
revision request from Kentucky. VOC emissions from vehicles at
Enterprise Holdings, Inc., facilities are controlled by ORVR,
therefore, EPA has preliminarily concluded that removal of Stage II
requirements at this facility would not result in an increase of VOC
emissions, and thus would not contribute to ozone formation. The
Commonwealth is seeking to remove this requirement for this facility
and EPA has preliminarily determined that Kentucky has fully satisfied
the requirements of section 110(l) of the CAA. Therefore, EPA is
proposing to approve this source-specific SIP revision, as being
consistent with section 110 of the CAA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, these
proposed actions merely approve state law as meeting federal
requirements and do not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by Commonwealth law. For that reason, these proposed actions:
     Are not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     are certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     do not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);
     do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     are not an economically significant regulatory action
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     are not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     are not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     do not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the Commonwealth, and it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

RIN 2120-AA66

Modification of Restricted Areas R-6501A and R-6501B; Underhill,
VT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies restricted areas R-6501A and R-6501B,
Underhill, VT, by amending the upper altitude limit of R-6501A and the
lower altitude limit of R-6501B. Certain military activities near
Underhill, VT, require restricted airspace that exceeds the current
4,000-foot mean sea level (MSL) upper altitude limit of R-6501A. As a
result, R-6501B must be activated, along with R-6501A, to ensure
containment of the hazardous activity. Raising the upper altitude limit
of R-6501A from 4,000 feet MSL to but not including 4,900 feet MSL and
the lower altitude limit of R-6501B from 4,000 feet MSL to 4,900 feet
MSL, will result in more efficient use of airspace by reducing the need
to activate R-6501B. This modification is fully contained within the
existing lateral and vertical limits of R-6501A and B. The activities
conducted in these restricted airspace areas are unchanged.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 29, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Rules and Regulations
Group, Office of Policy, Federal Aviation Administration, 800
Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20591; telephone: (202) 267-
8783.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority since it adjusts the upper altitude limit of R-6501A, and the
lower altitude limit of R-6501B, to enable more efficient use of
airspace.

Background

    Restricted area R-6501A, Underhill, VT, extends from the surface to
4,000 feet MSL. The time of designation for the area is: ``From 0700 to
2300 local time, Monday-Friday; 0000 Saturday to 2359 Sunday; and other
times by NOTAM issued 24 hours in advance.''
    Restricted area R-6501B directly overlies R-6501A and shares the
same lateral boundaries. R-6501B extends from 4,000 feet MSL to 13,600
feet MSL. The time of designation is: ``Intermittent by NOTAM 24 hours
in advance.''
    Currently, the altitude that separates the two areas is 4,000 feet
MSL. The issue is that the 4,000 feet MSL ceiling of R-6501A is not
sufficient to safely contain most activities being conducted. This
requires that R-6501B also be activated along with R-6501A. However,
the activation of R-6501B restricts the airspace all the way up to
13,600 feet MSL, even though the majority of R-6501B is not needed for
certain operations. Raising the upper altitude limit of R-6501A from
4,000 feet MSL to ``to but not including 4,900 feet MSL''; and the
lower altitude limit of R-6501B from 4,000 feet MSL to ``4,900 feet
MSL'' will eliminate the need to frequently activate R-6501B. This will
make more airspace available for Air Traffic Control (ATC) and general
aviation use.
    To provide for more efficient use of airspace, the FAA and the
using agency agreed to change the altitude that separates R-6501A and
R-6501B from 4,000 feet MSL to 4,900 feet MSL. The new configuration
enables activation of less restricted airspace to ensure containment of
the majority of the using agency's training needs while maintaining the
ability to activate additional restricted airspace for missions that
require higher altitudes.
    These changes will accommodate the using agency's requirements
while releasing unneeded restricted airspace for access by other
airspace users. With regard to the existing R-6501A and B, which abut,
the lateral boundaries of the restricted airspace areas, the lowest and
uppermost vertical limits of the airspace areas, and the activities
conducted within the airspace are unchanged.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 73 by changing the upper altitude
limit of R-6501A and lower altitude limit of R-6501B to adjust the
internal altitude that separates them and minimizes the need to
activate R-6501B. The time of

designation for R-6501A and R-6501B remains the same as currently
designated. The activities conducted within the restricted areas are
unchanged.
    This change enhances the efficient use of the National Airspace
System by providing for activation of the minimum amount of restricted
airspace needed for the specific mission being conducted, thereby
releasing unneeded restricted airspace for access by other users. This
reduces the burden on the flying public. Further, the modification does
not change the current lateral boundaries, overall lowest and highest
designated altitude limits, time of designation, or activities
conducted within the restricted areas. Therefore, I find that notice
and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this action only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This action of modifying restricted areas R-6501A and R-6501B, by
amending the internal altitude limits that separate them, qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and
reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D,
and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points), and paragraph 5-6.5f, which categorically excludes from
further environmental impact review, actions that increase the altitude
of special use airspace. As such, this action is not expected to result
in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The
FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental
impact study.

Airworthiness Directives; Stemme AG Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2022-01-09
for certain Stemme AG Model Stemme S 10-VT and Model Stemme S 12
gliders. AD 2022-01-09 required removing the affected freewheel clutch
from service and prohibited the installation of affected parts. Since
the FAA issued AD 2022-01-09, the European Union Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA) superseded its mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) to amend the definition of an affected part. This AD retains the
requirements of AD 2022-01-09 for removing the affected freewheel
clutch from service and continues to prohibit the installation of an
affected part, and amends the definition of an affected part and
clarifies the part installation prohibition. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2022-01-09, Amendment 39-21897 (87 FR 1666,
January 12, 2022) (AD 2022-01-09). AD 2022-01-09 applied to all Stemme
AG Model Stemme S 10-VT and Model Stemme S 12 gliders with a freewheel
clutch part number (P/N) 12AK with a serial number starting with ``12-
'' installed. AD 2022-01-09 required removing the affected freewheel
clutch from service and prohibited installing an affected part on any
glider. The FAA issued AD 2022-01-09 to address unintended slipping of
the freewheel clutch with overheating (burnishing) of the friction pads
inside of the clutch, which if not addressed, could result in a loss of
thrust and consequent loss of glider control.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on November 18, 2022 (87
FR 69220). The NPRM was prompted by EASA AD 2021-0278R1, dated August
11, 2022 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), issued by EASA,
which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European
Union. The MCAI states that the definition of affected part is amended
to exclude certain modified and re-identified freewheel clutches. You
may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under Docket
No. FAA-2022-1421.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to retain the requirements of AD
2022-01-09 for removing the affected freewheel clutch from service and
continue to prohibit the installation of an affected part, and amend
the definition of an affected part and clarify the part installation
prohibition.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from one commenter. An individual
supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data,
considered the comment received, and determined that air safety
requires adopting the AD as proposed. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products. Except for
minor editorial changes, including correcting a typographical error in
the Required Action and Compliance paragraph, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 63 gliders of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                                         hour = $340.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The new requirements of this AD add no additional economic burden
over that already required by AD 2022-01-09.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA has 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

   NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2003-15401

________________________________________________________________________
_________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Application of      Continental Airlines, Inc.     filed   6/11/03  for:

XX  Exemption under 49 U.S.C. 40109 to provide the following service:

Scheduled foreign air transportation of persons, property, and mail
between any point or points in the United States and any point or points
in Portugal, directly and via intermediate points, and beyond Portugal
to any point or points in third countries, and to integrate this
authority with its existing certificate and exemption authority.

XX  Granted  (subject to conditions, see below)

The above action with respect to Continental’s exemption authority was
effective when taken:  April 21, 2004, through    April 21, 2006

The statements of authorization granted were effective when taken:
April 21, 2004, and will remain in effect indefinitely, subject to the
conditions listed below.

Action taken by:   Paul L. Gretch, Director

		    Office of International Aviation

XX  The authority granted is consistent with the aviation agreement
between the United States and Portugal.

Except to the extent exempted or waived, this authority is subject to
the terms, conditions, and limitations indicated:  XX Continental’s
certificates of public convenience and necessity

	   XX  TAP Air Portugal foreign air carrier permit

	   XX  Standard exemption conditions (attached)

The exemption authority granted is subject to the following conditions:

The authority granted to serve intermediate and beyond points is limited
to countries with which the United States has signed open-skies
agreements and/or countries for which the carrier holds authority to
serve under certificates or exemptions issued by the Department, and for
which it holds route integration authority, by virtue of either the
present action or other action of the Department, and is subject to all
conditions attached to that authority.

The route integration authority granted is subject to the condition that
any service provided under this authority shall be consistent with the
applicable bilateral aviation agreements between the United States and
the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (a) nothing in the award
of this authority requested should be construed as conferring upon
Continental additional rights (including code-share, fifth-freedom
intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve markets where U.S. carrier
entry is limited unless Continental first notifies the Department of its
intent to serve such a market and unless and until the Department has
completed any necessary carrier selection procedures to determine which
carrier(s) should be authorized to exercise such rights; and (b) should
there be a request by any carrier to use the limited-entry route rights
that are included in Continental’s authority by virtue of the route
integration and blanket code-share authority granted here, but that are
not then being used by Continental, the holding of such authority will
not be considered as providing any preference for Continental in a
competitive carrier selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s)
should be entitled to use the authority at issue.

The statements of authorization granted are subject to the following
conditions:

(a)	The statement of authorization will remain in effect only as long as
(i) Continental and TAP continue to hold the necessary underlying
authority to operate the code-share services at issue, and (ii) the
code-share agreement providing for the code-share operations remains in
effect.

3

(b)	Continental and TAP must promptly notify the Department (Office of
International Aviation) if the code-share agreement providing for the
code-share operations is no longer effective or if the carriers decide
to cease operating all or a portion of the approved code-share services.
 Such notices should be filed in Docket OST-2002-13609.2

(c)	Continental and TAP must notify the Department no later than 30 days
before they begin any new code-share service under the code-share
services authorized here.  Such notice shall identify the market(s) to
be served, which carrier will be operating the aircraft in the
code-share market added, and the date on which the service will being.
(Such notice should be filed in this Docket.)

(d)	The code-sharing conducted under this authority must comply with
Part 257 and with any amendments to the Department’s regulations
concerning code-share arrangements that may be adopted.
Notwithstanding any provisions in the contract between the carriers, our
approval here is expressly conditioned upon the requirements that the
subject foreign air transportation be sold in the name of the carrier
holding out such service in the computer reservation systems and
elsewhere; that the carrier selling such transportation (i.e., the
carrier shown on the ticket) accept responsibility for the entirety of
the code-share journey for all obligations established in its contract
of carriage with the passenger; and that the passenger liability of the
operating carrier be unaffected.  Further, the operating carrier shall
not permit the code of its U.S. air carrier code-sharing partner to be
carried on any flights that enter, depart, or transit the airspace of
any area for whose airspace the Federal Aviation Administration has
issued a flight prohibition.

(e)	The authority to operate to third countries is subject to the
condition that any service provided under the statement of authorization
shall be consistent with all applicable agreements between the United
States and the foreign countries involved.  Furthermore, (i) nothing in
the award of these blanket statements of authorization should be
construed as conferring upon Continental additional rights (including
code-share, fifth-freedom intermediate and/or beyond rights) to serve
markets where U.S. carrier entry is limited unless Continental first
notifies the Department of its intent to serve such a market and unless
and until the Department has completed any necessary carrier selection
procedures to determine which carrier(s) should be authorized to
exercise such rights; and (ii) should there be a request by any carrier
to use the limited-entry route rights that are included in
Continental’s authority by virtue of the route integration and blanket
code-share authority granted here, but that are not then being used by
Continental, the holding of such authority will not be considered as
providing any preference for Continental in a competitive carrier
selection proceeding to determine which carrier(s) should be entitled to
use the authority at issue.

(f)	The authority granted here is specifically conditioned so that
neither Continental nor TAP shall give any force or effect to any
contractual provisions between themselves that are contrary to these
conditions.

________________________________________________________________________

On the basis of data officially noticeable under Rule 24(g) of the
Department's regulations, we found Continental qualified to provide the
exemption services authorized.

Under authority assigned by the Department in its regulations, 14 CFR
Part 385, we found that (1) our action was consistent with Department
policy; (2) grant of the authority was consistent with the public
interest; and (3) grant of the authority would not constitute a major
regulatory action under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975.
To the extent not granted, we denied all requests in the referenced
Docket.  We may amend, modify, or revoke the authority granted in this
Notice at any time without hearing at our discretion.

4

Persons entitled to petition the Department for review of the action set
forth in this Notice under the Department’s regulations, 14 CFR
§385.30, may file their petitions within seven (7) days after the date
of issuance of this Notice.  This action was effective when taken, and
the filing of a petition for review will not alter such effectiveness.

Web at:

U.S. Carrier Exemption Conditions

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the U.S. carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Hold at all times effective operating authority from the government
of each country served;

(2)  Comply with applicable requirements concerning oversales contained
in 14 CFR 250 (for scheduled operations, if authorized);

(3)  Comply with the requirements for reporting data contained in 14 CFR
241;

(4)  Comply with requirements for minimum insurance coverage, and for
certifying that coverage to the Department, contained in 14 CFR 205;

(5)  Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR 203, concerning
waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(6)  Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements
concerning security.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S.
Government requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before
commencing any new service (including charter flights) to or from a
foreign airport, contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to
advise the PSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served; and

(7)  Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department of Transportation, with all applicable orders and regulations
of other U.S. agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the
United States.

The authority granted shall be effective only during the period when the
holder is in compliance with the conditions imposed above.

8/2003

 TAP already holds the underlying route authority to operate the
proposed code-share services.  (See Notice of Action Taken dated April
5, 2002, in Docket OST-2000-7003.)

 Continental states in its application that the TAP code will also be
displayed on flights operated by Continental’s code-share partner,
ExpressJet Airlines, Inc.  ExpressJet does not require a statement of
authorization since it operates only small aircraft as defined in
section 298.2 of the Department’s regulations (Section 212.1).

2 We expect this notification to be received within 10 days of such
non-effectiveness or of such decision.

 The notice in paragraph (c) above can be used for this notification.

On February 12, 2009, EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs, Office of
Water, Office of Research and Development, and Office of General Counsel
met with Syngenta Crop Protection, Inc. to discuss the status of
implementation of the eco-monitoring portion of the atrazine DCI.
Meeting participants discussed the revisions that had been made to the
Community Aquatic Simulation Model (CASM) since the 2007 Scientific
Advisory Panel (SAP), as well as the pros and cons of using CASM for
assessing the ecological level of concern (LOC) for atrazine exposures
in freshwater systems.  The participants also discussed an
“Alternative Approach” to CASM and its potential use for LOC
development.  After discussion of the two approaches, the Environmental
Fate and Effects Division (EFED) outlined the next steps to prepare for
the May 2009 Atrazine Eco-Monitoring SAP, and requested additional data
from Syngenta.
