Grant@ piperrudnick. com, sallen@ gwec. com, JRobinson@ AMREF. com, ddoane@ ilta. org, EGustafson@ epamail. epa. gov cc: Subject: RE: Latest thinking on definition of Northeast exclusion area ( re the NR heating oil marker issue)

Jeff First, it seems like the exclusions anticipated would cover most of the heating oil states, and I suspect sharply reduce the costs of the marker requirement. Unfortunately, some areas will still have to ensure they have injection systems for the new fuel.

I know when the red dye was first imposed, that many of the smaller terminals used splash dying as an alternative. You might want to consider a situation whereby if an area does not receive the product for a period of time, six months or a year, then the requirement goes away and there is no need for the additional dye. In this way we would be providing some flexibility in the border regions that have been raised. However, if the flexibility is not used, we could slip the annual costs in the future.

Thanks John Gentlefolk, Following is my latest draft concept re how we might balance terminal operator concerns re limiting the need to install additional injection equipment to add a marker to heating oil ( as well as concerns regarding limiting the volume of heating oil that must be marked) and our desire to maintain the intended small refiner flexibilities under EPA's upcoming non highway diesel ( nonroad, loco, and # 2 marine) rule:

Under the current draft, the areas that would be excluded from the marker requirement and thus in which the sale of fuel manufactured under the credit and hardship provision of today's rule would be prohibited are: North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Washington D. C., New York ( except for the counties of Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, and Allegany), and Pennsylvania ( except for the counties of Erie, Warren, Mc Kean, Potter, Cameron, Elk, Jefferson, Clarion, Forest, Venango, Mercer, and Crawford).

The area in which the heating oil marker would be required to be added at terminals ( and at refinery racks), and consequently in which 2 small refiner and credit fuel could be sold is the unshaded area in the attached map. I would appreciate any input that you might have on this draft concept.

There is two specific issues that I would appreciate input on >>> If it is unlikely that refiners would market small refiner or credit fuel in South Carolina, I would like to designate SC as an exclusion area State. The current draft has SC outside of the exclusion area because heating oil use drops off significantly as you move South from North Carolina to South Carolina. However, there is still a sizeable ( albeit relatively much smaller) volume of heating oil used in South Carolina. Also, would it be more appropriate to assign the Eastern most ~ 8 counties in the " handle" of Western Virginia to the exclusion area.

Please let me know if there is anyone else that you think it would be good to have input from on this issue.

Thanks for your consideration Draft Northeast Heating Oil Marker and Small Refiner/ Credit NRLM Exclusion Area ( Embedded image moved to file: pic18060. jpg)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

[Docket No: FAA-2019-0195]

Deadline for Notification of Intent To Use the Airport
Improvement Program Primary, Cargo, and Nonprimary Entitlement Funds
Available to Date for Fiscal Year 2019

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces May 1,
2019, as the deadline for each airport sponsor to notify the FAA
whether or not it will use its fiscal year 2019 entitlement funds (also
referred to as apportioned funds) to accomplish Airport Improvement
Program (AIP) eligible projects that the airport sponsor previously
identified through the Airports Capital Improvement Plan process during
the preceding year.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James A. Johnson, Acting Director,
Office of Airport Planning and Programming, APP-1, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 49 U.S.C. 47105(f) provides that the
sponsor of an airport for which entitlement funds are apportioned shall
notify the Secretary, by such time and in a form as prescribed by the
Secretary, of the airport sponsor's intent to submit a grant
application for its available entitlement funds. Therefore, the FAA is
hereby notifying such airport sponsors of the steps required to ensure
that the FAA has sufficient time to carry over and convert remaining
entitlement funds. In accordance with legislation enacted as of the
date of this notice, the AIP has approximately $2.4 billion of
entitlement funds available through September 30, 2019.
    The airport sponsor's notification must address all entitlement
funds available to date for fiscal year 2019, as well as any
entitlement funds not obligated from prior years. On Monday, July 1,
2019, the FAA will carry over any currently available entitlement funds
for which the airport sponsor has not notified the FAA of its intention
to use, and these funds will not be available again until at least the
beginning of fiscal year 2020. Under 49 U.S.C. 47114(d)(3)(C), airports
having an unclassified status in the most recent National Plan of
Integrate Airport Systems that accrue entitlement funds in fiscal year
2019, will only have these

funds available in the same fiscal year and may not transfer the
entitlements.
    This notice applies to airports that have entitlement funds
apportioned to them, except nonprimary airports located in designated
Block Grant States. Airport sponsors intending to apply for any of
their available entitlement funds, including those unused from prior
years, shall make their intent known by 12:00 p.m. prevailing local
time on Wednesday, May 1, 2019, consistent with prior practice.
    This notice must address all entitlement funds available to date
for fiscal year 2019, including those entitlement funds not obligated
from prior years. A written indication stating the airport sponsor's
intent to submit a grant application must be provided no later than
close of business Friday, May 31, 2019. These notifications are
critical to ensure efficient planning and administration of the AIP.
The final grant application deadline is Friday, June 28, 2019.
    All notifications and grant applications must be provided to the
designated FAA Airports District Office (or Regional Office in regions
without Airports District Offices). Absent notification of the intent
to use entitlement funds, notification of the intent to submit a grant
application, or submission of a grant application by the relevant
deadlines noted above, the FAA will proceed on Monday, July 1, 2019 to
carry-over the remainder of available entitlement funds. These funds
will not be available again until at least the beginning of fiscal year
2020. Under 49 U.S.C. 47114(d)(3)(C), airports having an unclassified
status in the most recent National Plan of Integrate Airport Systems
that accrue entitlement funds in fiscal year 2019, will only have these
funds available in the same fiscal year and may not transfer the
entitlements.
    Dates are subject to possible adjustment based on future
legislation. As of the publication of this notice, appropriations for
the FAA expire on September 30, 2019 and authorization legislation for
the FAA expires on September 30, 2023. This notice is promulgated to
expedite and facilitate the grant-making process.
    The AIP grant program is operating under the requirements of Public
Law 115-254, the ``FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018,'' enacted on
October 5, 2018, which authorizes the FAA through September 30, 2023
and Public Law 116-6, the ``Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019,''
which appropriates fiscal year 2019 funds for the AIP through September
30, 2019.

    Issued in Washington, DC on March 13, 2019.

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


SUPPORTING STATEMENT NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR COKE OVEN BATTERIES: FINAL AMENDMENTS PART A 1.0 Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

" National Emission Standards for Coke Oven Batteries ( Final Rule)." This is a revision to the existing approved information collection request ( ICR). The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) has previously approved the information collection requirements in the existing rule ( 40 CFR part 63, subpart L) under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U. S. C. 3501 et seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2060 0253. The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) tracking number for this request is ICR number 1362.07.

( b) Short Characterization.

Potential respondents are owners or operators of coke oven batteries subject to the maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) standards for charging, doors, and topside leaks in the existing rule ( MACT track batteries). The final amendments will establish more stringent visible emission limitations for doors and topside leaks on existing by product coke oven batteries to address health risk remaining after implementation of the 1993 rule. Based on our 8

year review requirements under section 112( d)( 6) of the CAA, we are also promulgating emission limits and work practice requirements for the improved control of charging emissions from new or reconstructed non recovery batteries. These requirements will include an opacity limit for charging operations, emission and opacity limits for the charging emission control device, and work practice standards. Other final amendments will establish work practice requirements 2 designed for improved door leak control; these requirements will apply to all non recovery batteries on the MACT track.

No new or revised information collection requirements are included for existing byproduct coke oven batteries because the existing rule already includes appropriate monitoring,

recordkeeping, and reporting provisions. Respondents that own or operate any new non recovery battery on the MACT track will be required to develop a site specific test plan and conduct performance tests; make opacity observations; add information to the startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan; submit one time notifications and semi annual compliance reports; and maintain records of specific information to ensure that the final requirements are being achieved. These requirements are listed in Attachment 1.

2. Need For and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection.

Section 112 of the CAA establishes a two stage regulatory process to address emissions of hazardous air pollutants ( HAP) from stationary sources. In the first stage, EPA must establish MACT standards for new or existing major or area sources according to the requirements in section 112( d). Under section 112( d)( 6), EPA must review these technology based standards,

and, if appropriate, to revise them every 8 years. In the second stage, section 112( f) requires EPA to determine whether the MACT standards protect the public health with an ample margin of safety.

Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to: ( 1) confirm the compliance status of major sources, identify any non major sources not subject to the standards,

and identify new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards; and ( 2) ensure that the MACT 3 ( and residual risk ) standards are being achieved on a continuous basis. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the Clean Air Act ( 42 U. S. C.

7414) and set out in the General Provisions for national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants ( NESHAP) in 40 CFR part 63, subpart A..

( b) Use/ Users of the Data.

The additional information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to ensure that the emission limitations are being achieved. Based on review of the recorded information at the site and the reported information, EPA can identify facilities that may not be in compliance and decide which plants, records, or processes should be inspected.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication.

A computer search of the Federal Information Locator System indicated that, with the exception of the existing rule, there are no similar information requests being carried out by the Federal government. A similar search of EPA's ongoing ICR's revealed no duplication of information gathering efforts. Certain reports required by State or local agencies may duplicate information required by the proposed amendments. In such cases, a copy of the report submitted to the State or local agency can be provided to the Administrator in lieu of the information that would be required in the semi annual compliance report.

( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.

This section is not applicable because this is a rule related ICR. 4 ( c) Consultations.

These final amendments were developed in consultation with State and local agencies,

EPA Regional Office experts, individual coke plants, and their trade associations. For example,

several meetings and telephone consultations were held with representatives from the affected plants, their trade associations, and the American Iron and Steel ( AISI)/ American Coke and Coal Chemicals Institute ( ACCCI) Coke Oven Environmental Task Force ( COETF). In addition,

discussions were held with the non recovery plant ( Indiana Harbor Coke). The non EPA persons consulted on the information collection activities are identified in Table 1.

TABLE 1. PERSONS CONSULTED ON THE INFORMATION COLLECTION ACTIVITIES Contact Organization Telephone Number George Bradley, Jr. Indiana Harbor Coke Co. ( 219) 397 2180 David Ailor ACCCI ( 202) 452 1140 ( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

If the relevant information were collected less frequently, EPA would not be reasonably assured that a plant is in compliance with the standards.

( e) General Guidelines.

None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

( f) Confidentiality.

All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976;

amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

( g) Sensitive Questions.

This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature. 5 4. The Respondents and the Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ NAIC Codes.

In the existing rule, respondents are owners or operators of new or existing byproduct or non recovery coke oven batteries. Potential respondents under the final amendments are owners or operators of non recovery batteries that are on the MACT track. We estimate that one nonrecovery coke oven facility ( four batteries) will be subject to the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; no new non recovery batteries are expected during the 3 year clearance period for this ICR. Owners or operators of by product coke oven batteries are not potential respondents under the amendments because they are currently meeting the monitoring,

recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the existing rule. The NAICS codes for this industry are 331111, " Iron and Steel Mills", and 324199, " All Other Petroleum and Coal Products Manufacturing" ( i. e., coke ovens not integrated with steel mills).

( b) Information Requested.

( i) Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements. Attachment 1, Source Data and Information Requirements, summarizes the final recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

( ii) Respondent Activities. The respondent activities required by the final amendments are identified in Table 2 and introduced in section 6( a).

5. The Information Collected   Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities.

A list of Agency activities is provided in Table 3 and introduced in section 6( c).

( b) Collection Methodology and Management.

This is not relevant to this information collection request.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility.

A small entity for this industry is defined by the Small Business Administration as a firm having no more than 1,000 employees. Of the three companies that will be subject to the final amendments, one company ( operating a total of three batteries) is considered a small entity.

However, the final amendments will not impose any significant additional regulatory costs on that small entity because it is already meeting the stricter emission limitations for existing by product 6 coke oven batteries included in the final amendments, as well as the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. Although the final amendments will not have a significant economic impact on this small entity, we nonetheless tried to reduce the impact of the final amendments on small facilities. We held several meetings with industry trade associations and company representatives to discuss the amendments and have included provisions to address their concerns.

( d) Collection Schedule.

As discussed in the ICR for the existing rule, information contained in the periodic reports submitted to the EPA will be entered into the Aerometric Information Retrieval System ( AIRS)

database which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards.

Information contained in the one time only reports will be entered into the National Compliance Data System operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

Data obtained during periodic visits by Agency personnel from records maintained by the respondents will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use in enforcement and compliance programs. A schedule for collection of information and publication of data is not applicable because reports are triggered by actions of the respondents.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden.

The annual burden estimates for the additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the final amendments are shown in Table 2. These numbers were derived from estimates based on EPA's experience with other standards.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs.

The information collection activities for the final amendments are presented in Table 2.

Because much of the data are already collected by respondents or required by existing law, minimal respondent development costs are associated with the information collection activities for the final amendments.

( i) Estimating Labor Costs. Labor rates and associated costs are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS) data. Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates for private industry workers were taken from the March 2003 Employment Cost Trends ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t10. htm). Wages for white collar occupations are used as 7 the basis for the labor rates with a total compensation of $ 30.54/ hour for technical, $ 44.33/ hour for managerial, and $ 18.88/ hour for clerical. These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits and do not include the cost of overhead. An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs. The fully burdened wage rates used to represent respondent labor costs are: technical at $ 64.13, management at $ 93.09, and clerical at $ 39.64.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs. As shown in Table 2, no ( zero) capital/ startup or O& M costs are associated with the final amendments over the 3 year period of this ICR. No ( zero) capital/ startup or O& M costs to the industry are associated with the existing rule.

( iii) Capital/ Startup vs. O& M Costs. The estimate of capital/ startup costs vs. O& M costs is shown in Table 2. No ( zero) O& M costs are associated with the final amendments over the 3 year period of this ICR. No ( zero) O& M costs are associated with the existing rule.

( iv) Annualizing Capital Costs. As shown in Table 2, no ( zero) annualized costs are associated with the final amendments during the 3 year period of this ICR. No ( zero) annualized costs are associated with the existing rule.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under the NESHAP General Provisions, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal Government. Publication and distribution of the information are part of the Compliance Data System, with the result that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR.

Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program,

and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR. The only costs that the Federal government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported information, as presented in Table 3.

The Agency labor rates are from the Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) 2003 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay. These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2003 GS available on the OPM website, http:// www. opm. gov oca 03tables/ pdf/ gs h. pdf. The 8 government employee labor rates are $ 13.91/ hour for clerical ( GS 7, Step 1), $ 29.35 for technical ( GS 13, Step 1), and $ 40.80/ hr for management ( GS 15, Step 1). These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits and do not include the cost of overhead. An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs. The fully burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor costs are: clerical at $ 29.21; technical at $ 61.64, and management at $ 85.68.

( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.

The EPA estimates that five plants ( nine batteries) will be subject to the final amendments.

However, new monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements will apply only to one nonrecovery facility with four batteries because existing by product batteries remain subject to the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the existing rule. No new respondents are anticipated during the next 3 years. Therefore, the average annual number of respondents is 0.33. Details on the number of respondents affected by each individual burden item are provided in the footnotes of Table 2.

The total annual responses for the existing rule is 57.5. The number of increased responses for the final amendments is 3. This number is calculated from the number of respondents subject to notification requirements ( 1) multiplied by the number of initial reports ( 1), plus the number of respondents ( 1) multiplied by the semiannual compliance certifications ( 2). Thus, the total number of responses for the rule is 60.5.

( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

( i) Respondent tally. The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs, presented in Table 2, are calculated by adding person hours per year down each column for technical,

managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column. The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the existing rule is 104,659 person hours with an annual average cost of $ 5,644,998 with no annual capital and O& M costs. The increased average annual burden for the final amendments is 448 person hours with an annual average cost of $ 28,338 for technical, management, and clerical hours with no annual capital and O& M costs. The total annual average burden for the rule, including the final amendments will be 105,107 person hours with an annual average cost of $ 5,673,336. 9 ( ii) The Agency tally. The average annual Federal Government cost for the existing rule is $ 56,697 for 1,634.4 total annual hours. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs for the final amendments, presented in Table 3, are calculated by adding person hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column. In this case, total cost is the sum of this total salary cost and total travel expenses for tests attended. The increased total annual hours are 3.4. The increased total annual cost is $ 182. The total average annual cost of the rule, including the final amendments, is $ 56,879 for 1,637.8 hours.

( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line. This section does not apply since no significant variation is anticipated.

( f) Reasons for Change in Burden.

The increase in burden is primarily due to the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting costs for the final amendments. It is also due to the use of more current labor rates for calculating the industry and Agency burden.

( g) Burden Statement The increased average annual respondent burden for one facility is estimated at 448 hours.

Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate,

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;

and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR part 63 are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggestions for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket 10 ID No. OAR 2003 0051, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B 102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8: 30 a. m. to 4: 30 p. m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is ( 202) 566 1744, and the telephone number for the Air Docket is ( 202) 566 1742. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets ( EDOCKET) at http:// www. epa. gov/ docket. Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments,

and to access the index listing of the contents of the public docket that are available electronically.

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0356; Airspace Docket No. 20-ASO-14]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of the Class E Airspace; Hazard, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, KY. This
action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Hazard VHF omnidirectional range (VOR)
navigation aid as part of the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON)
Program. The geographic coordinates of the airport are also being
updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, September 10, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

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
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, KY, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 27189; May 7, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0356 to
amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, KY. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius (increased from a 6.6-
mile radius) of Wendell H. Ford Airport, Hazard, KY; adds an extension
2 miles each side of the 139[deg] bearing from the airport extending
from the 6.7-mile radius of the airport to 11.1 miles south of the
airport; and updates the geographic coordinates of the airport

to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Hazard VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR MON Program.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

RE: Coke - EPA responses to Model Shell File Review and emissions files

Gabrielle,

Per your question regarding the Process ID/Emission Unit Description, below is our response:

Our comments on doors simply referred to the terminology used in the spreadsheet.  The spreadsheet referred to doors as "coal side" and "coke side."  For the coke byproducts recovery industry, coal charging is conducted through open lids on charging ports on top of the battery and not through doors on the battery sides, as is the case for the nonrecovery coke industry.  The correct terminology for byproducts industry doors is "push side" and "coke side."  The push side is the side of the battery where the pusher machine ram contacts the coke and pushes the coke out of the oven.  The coke side is the side where the coke exits the oven.  We wanted to make this clarification because, for emissions calculating purposes, byproducts recovery battery "coal side" and "coke side" doors are treated the same, while for nonrecovery batteries they are not.

I hope this clarifies any questions you may have.  Feel free to contact us with any other questions.

Best regards,

COETF Comment: Per Al Dittenhoefer's e-mail earlier this afternoon, we've noted where some sources/emissions are already accounted for in the byproducts plant emissions.
EPA Response:
ABC Coke, will delete rows from NONCATEGORY file.
Bluestone, will delete rows from NONCATEGORY file.
USS Clairton, will delete rows from NONCATEGORY file.
COETF Comment: We had one additional comment concerning emergency engines with highly intermittent emissions.
Emissions for Bluestone Coke in rows 760-769 are for diesel-powered emergency generators and are highly intermittent sources.  If these sources will be modeled, what release parameters will be used as they are all missing?
EPA Response:
Will delete rows from the NONCATEGORY file due to intermittent operation.

vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for
7 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to exempt individuals from
the vision requirement if the exemptions granted will not compromise
safety. The Agency has concluded that granting these exemption renewals
will provide a level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than,
the level of safety maintained without the exemptions for these
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may renew an exemption
from the vision requirements in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), which applies to
drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce, for a two-year period if it
finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is
equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent
such exemption.'' The procedures for requesting an exemption (including
renewals) are set out in 49 CFR part 381.

Exemption Decision

    This notice addresses 7 individuals who have requested a renewal of
their exemption in accordance with FMCSA procedures. FMCSA has
evaluated these 7 applications for renewal on their merits and decided
to extend each

exemption for a renewable two-year period. They are:

James S. Ayers
Curtis F. Caddy, III
Vernon J. Dohrn
Steven R. Felks
Douglas J. Mauton
Dennis L. Maxcy
Dean B. Ponte

    These exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) That each individual have a physical examination every year (a) by
an ophthalmologist or optometrist who attests that the vision in the
better eye continues to meet the standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10), and
(b) by a medical examiner who attests that the individual is otherwise
physically qualified under 49 CFR 391.41; (2) that each individual
provide a copy of the ophthalmologist's or optometrist's report to the
medical examiner at the time of the annual medical examination; and (3)
that each individual provide a copy of the annual medical certification
to the employer for retention in the driver's qualification file and
retain a copy of the certification on his/her person while driving for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless rescinded
earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315.

Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application for additional two year periods. In accordance with 49
U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of the 7 applicants has satisfied the
entry conditions for obtaining an exemption from the vision
requirements (66 FR 53826; 66 FR 66966; 68 FR 69434; 71 FR 6825; 70 FR
48797; 70 FR 61493; 70 FR 57353; 70 FR 72689; 70 FR 71884; 71 FR 4632).
Each of these 7 applicants has requested renewal of the exemption and
has submitted evidence showing that the vision in the better eye
continues to meet the standard specified at 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10) and
that the vision impairment is stable. In addition, a review of each
record of safety while driving with the respective vision deficiencies
over the past two years indicates each applicant continues to meet the
vision exemption standards. These factors provide an adequate basis for
predicting each driver's ability to continue to drive safely in
interstate commerce. Therefore, FMCSA concludes that extending the
exemption for each renewal applicant for a period of two years is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

Request for Comments

    FMCSA will review comments received at any time concerning a
particular driver's safety record and determine if the continuation of
the exemption is consistent with the requirements at 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315. However, FMCSA requests that interested parties with
specific data concerning the safety records of these drivers submit
comments by March 3, 2008.
    FMCSA believes that the requirements for a renewal of an exemption
under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 can be satisfied by initially
granting the renewal and then requesting and evaluating, if needed,
subsequent comments submitted by interested parties. As indicated
above, the Agency previously published notices of final disposition
announcing its decision to exempt these 7 individuals from the vision
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(10). The final decision to grant an
exemption to each of these individuals was based on the merits of each
case and only after careful consideration of the comments received to
its notices of applications. The notices of applications stated in
detail the qualifications, experience, and medical condition of each
applicant for an exemption from the vision requirements. That
information is available by consulting the above cited Federal Register
publications.
    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all of these drivers, are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.
