SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On August 14, 2008, AGDUFA (Public Law 110-316) was enacted. AGDUFA
amends the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) and
requires FDA to assess and collect user fees for certain applications,
products, and sponsors. It also requires the agency to grant a waiver
from or a reduction of fees in certain circumstances. Under section
741(d) of the FD&C Act, when certain conditions are met, FDA will waive
or reduce fees for generic new animal drugs intended solely to provide
for a minor use or minor species indication.
    The purpose of the guidance document is to provide guidance on the
types of fees FDA is authorized to collect under AGDUFA and how to
request waivers and reductions of these fees. It describes the types of
fees, the type of fee waiver or reduction

available, what information FDA recommends you submit in support of a
request for a fee waiver or reduction, how to submit such a request,
and FDA's process for reviewing requests.
    FDA is issuing this level 1 final guidance document for immediate
implementation consistent with FDA's GGPs regulation (21 CFR 10.115).
Prior public participation is not feasible because the guidance
concerns statutory requirements that FDA must implement immediately.
AGDUFA's user fee provisions are already in effect, and it is essential
for the agency to provide guidance on how to request fee waivers and
reductions as quickly as possible. If FDA receives comments on this
final guidance, it will review the comments and revise the guidance if
appropriate.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This level 1 guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's GGPs
regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the agency's
current thinking on the fee waiver provisions of AGDUFA. It does not
create or confer any rights for or on any person and will not operate
to bind FDA or the public. Alternative methods may be used as long as
they satisfy the requirements of the applicable statutes and
regulations.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    FDA concludes that there are no collections of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.

IV. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments regarding this guidance.
Submit a single copy of electronic comments or two paper copies of any
mailed comments, except that individuals may submit one paper copy.
Comments are to be identified with the docket number found in brackets
in the heading of this document. A copy of the guidance and received
comments are available for public examination in the Division of
Dockets Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.

V. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at
either http://www.fda.gov/cvm or http://www.regulations.gov.

    Dated: May 7, 2009.

[Docket No. FAA-2006-26107; Project Identifier 2004-SW-30-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Carson Helicopters, Inc.; Croman
Corporation; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation; and Siller Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM); reopening
of comment period.

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

receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in
the public docket for this rulemaking.

Discussion

    The FAA issued an NPRM to amend 14 CFR part 39 by adding an AD that
would apply to all Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-61 A, D, E,
and V helicopters; Croman Corporation Model SH-3H helicopters, Carson
Helicopters, Inc. Model S-61L helicopters; and Siller Helicopters Model
CH-3E and SH-3A helicopters. The NPRM published in the Federal Register
on October 30, 2006 (71 FR 63272). The NPRM proposed to require
creating a component history card or equivalent record and recording
the hours time-in-service (TIS) and the external lift cycles (lift
cycles) for each affected main gearbox input left and right freewheel
unit (IFWU) assembly. The NPRM also proposed to require determining if
the IFWU assembly is a repetitive external lift (REL) or non-REL IFWU
assembly. The determination includes calculating a moving average of
lift cycles per hour TIS at specified intervals on each IFWU assembly.
For REL IFWU assemblies, the NPRM proposed to require repetitive
inspections, which include visual and dimensional inspections, of the
IFWU assembly for wear, surface distress, and endplay, recording
certain information, and replacing affected parts with an airworthy
part. In addition, the NPRM proposed to require permanently marking the
REL IFWU camshafts and gear housings with the letters ``REL'' on the
surface of these parts.
    The NPRM was prompted by an accident in which the left and right
IFWU assembly on a helicopter slipped or disengaged, resulting in both
engines overspeeding, engine shutdowns, and loss of engine power to the
transmissions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address slipping of the
main gearbox IFWU assembly, loss of engine power, and subsequent loss
of control of the helicopter.

Actions Since the NPRM Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued the NPRM, the FAA determined that additional
camshaft and gear housing part numbers need to be marked and the
applicability and certain compliance times need clarification.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this proposed AD. The FAA has considered the comments
received.

Request To Fix Typographical Errors

    Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) requested that the FAA fix
two typographical errors. Sikorsky stated that in the third paragraph
of the Discussion section in the NPRM, the citation for the alert
service bulletin should read ``. . . 61B35-67B . . .'' (not ``61835-
67B''), and the citation for the all operators letter should read ``. .
. CCS-61-AOL-04-0005'' (not ``CCS-61AOL-04-0005'').
    The FAA agrees with the request. The FAA has revised the citations
accordingly.

Request To Revise Etching Language

    Sikorsky requested that the etching language in paragraph (d) of
the proposed AD (in the NPRM) (referred to as paragraph (j) of this
proposed AD (in the SNPRM)) be revised from ``After etching neutralize
the etched surface with oil to prevent corrosion'' to the following:
``After etching, neutralize the etched surface and oil to prevent
corrosion.''
    The FAA agrees with the request. The FAA has also clarified the
compliance time by specifying ``Before further flight and after
etching, neutralize the etched surface and oil to prevent corrosion''
in paragraph (j) of this proposed AD.

Request To Add Camshaft and Gear Housing Part Numbers

    Sikorsky requested that the FAA add camshaft and gear housing part
numbers to the ``Compliance'' section of the proposed AD. Sikorsky
stated that additional IFWU camshaft part numbers 61350-24052 and
61350-24072 have been delivered in military versions of the S-61 and
should be included on the assumption that some of these aircraft have
been or may become certificated. Sikorsky also stated that additional
IFWU gear housing part numbers 61350-24051 and 61350-24068 have been
delivered in military versions of the S-61 and should be included on
the assumption that some of these aircraft have been or may become
certificated.
    The FAA agrees. Paragraph (j) of this proposed AD has been revised
accordingly.

Request To Require Installation of Redesigned IFWUs

    Croman Corporation stated a redesigned #2 IFWU could be installed
in the commercial gear box with minimal modifications, mostly to the
oil system. The FAA infers that the commenter is requesting that the
proposed AD require installing redesigned #2 IFWUs in lieu of
accomplishing the proposed actions (i.e., creating a component history
card or equivalent record and recording the hours TIS and the lift
cycles for each affected main gearbox IFWU assembly; determining if the
IFWU assembly is a REL or non-REL assembly; for REL IFWU assemblies,
repetitive inspections of the IFWU assembly for wear, surface distress,
and endplay, recording certain information, and replacing affected
parts; and permanently marking the REL IFWU camshafts and gear
housings).
    The FAA does not concur. The FAA has determined that the proposed
actions adequately address the identified unsafe condition. However,
the FAA might consider additional rulemaking if sufficient data is
submitted to substantiate requiring the replacement of the IFWUs in
lieu of doing the proposed actions.

Clarification of the Model Designations

    The applicability of the proposed AD (in the NPRM) refers to Model
S-61 A, D, E, V, SH-3H, S-61L; CH-3E, and SH-3A helicopters. The FAA
has revised the applicability of this proposed AD (in the SNPRM) to
refer to the model designations as specified in the most recent U.S.
type certificate data sheet: Carson Helicopters, Inc., Model S-61L
helicopters; Carson Helicopters, Inc., Model SH-3H helicopters; Croman
Corporation Model SH-3H helicopters; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Model S-61A, S-61D, S-61E, and S-61V helicopters; Siller Helicopters
Model CH-3E helicopters; and Siller Helicopters Model SH-3A
helicopters.

Clarification of Certain Compliance Times

    The FAA has clarified the compliance times specified in paragraphs
(g), (h)(1), (i)(1), and (j) of this proposed AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service
Bulletin 61B35-67B, Revision B, dated August 11, 2003. This service
information describes, among other actions, procedures for inspections,
which includes visual and dimensional inspections, of the IFWU assembly
for wear, surface distress, and endplay, and for recording certain
information. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation All Operators
Letter (AOL) CCS-61-AOL-04-0005, dated May 18, 2004. This service
information provides an example and additional information about
tracking cycles and the moving average procedure.
    The FAA also reviewed Sikorsky Aircraft S-61L/N Overhaul Manual,
SA4045-83, Revision 20, dated August 15, 2003, as revised by Temporary
Revisions 65-193, -194, -195, and -196, which contains the overhaul
procedures for the IFWU assembly.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is proposing this AD because the agency evaluated all the
relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design. Certain changes described above expand the scope of the
NPRM. As a result, the FAA has determined that it is necessary to
reopen the comment period to provide additional opportunity for the
public to comment on this SNPRM.

Proposed Requirements of This SNPRM

    This SNPRM would require creating a component history card or
equivalent record and recording the hours TIS and the lift cycles for
each affected main gearbox IFWU assembly; determining if the IFWU
assembly is a REL or non-REL assembly; for REL IFWU assemblies,
repetitive inspections of the IFWU assembly for wear, surface distress,
and endplay, recording certain information, and replacing affected
parts; and permanently marking the REL IFWU camshafts and gear
housings.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The effectivity of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service
Bulletin 61B35-67B, Revision B, dated August 11, 2003, includes Model
S-61 L, N, NM, and R helicopters. However, for those helicopters, the
unsafe condition is addressed in AD 2007-01-05, Amendment 39-14876 (72
FR 1139, January 10, 2007). Therefore, those helicopters are not
included in the applicability of this proposed AD.
    Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service Bulletin 61B35-67B,
Revision B, dated August 11, 2003, specifies contacting Sikorsky and
providing information to Sikorsky. This proposed AD does not require
you to contact Sikorsky or provide information to Sikorsky.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD affects 55 helicopters of
U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with
this proposed AD:

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

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 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 above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Carson Helicopters, Inc.; Croman Corporation; Sikorsky Aircraft
Corporation; and Siller Helicopters: Docket No. FAA-2006-26107;
Project Identifier 2004-SW-30-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by April 29, 2021.

(b) Affected Airworthiness Directives (ADs)

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all helicopters identified in paragraphs
(c)(1) through (6) of this AD, certificated in any category
including restricted.
    (1) Carson Helicopters, Inc., Model S-61L helicopters.
    (2) Carson Helicopters, Inc., Model SH-3H helicopters.
    (3) Croman Corporation Model SH-3H helicopters.
    (4) Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-61A, S-61D, S-61E, and
S-61V helicopters.
    (5) Siller Helicopters Model CH-3E helicopters.
    (6) Siller Helicopters Model SH-3A helicopters.

 (d) Subject

    Joint Aircraft System Component (JASC) Code 6310, Engine/
Transmission Coupling.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by an accident in which the left and right
input freewheel unit (IFWU) assembly on a helicopter slipped or
disengaged, resulting in both engines overspeeding, engine
shutdowns, and loss of engine power to the transmissions. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address slipping of the main gearbox IFWU
assembly, loss of engine power, and subsequent loss of control of
the helicopter.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Creation of History Card or Equivalent and Daily Actions

    Within 10 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date
of this AD, do the actions specified in paragraphs (g)(1) and (2) of
this AD.
    (1) Create an external lift component history card or equivalent
record for each IFWU assembly, part number (P/N) 61074-35000-041
through 61074-35000-063 inclusive.
    (2) Count and, at the end of each day's operations, record the
number of external lift cycles (lift cycles) performed and the hours
TIS for each IFWU assembly, P/N 61074-35000-041 through 61074-35000-
063 inclusive. A ``lift cycle'' is defined as the lifting of an
external load and subsequent release of the load. Record the lift
cycles and hours TIS on the external lift component history card or
equivalent record.

(h) Determination of IFWU Assembly Type and Calculations

    (1) Upon reaching 250 hours TIS after the effective date of this
AD on each IFWU assembly, P/N 61074-35000-041 through 61074-35000-
063 inclusive, determine whether the IFWU assembly is a repetitive
external lift (REL) or non-REL IFWU assembly by using a 250-hour TIS
moving average. To perform the calculation, divide the total number
of lift cycles performed during the first 250 hours TIS by 250. The
result will be the first moving average calculation of lift cycles
per hour TIS.
    (i) If the calculation specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD
results in more than 6 lift cycles per hour TIS, the IFWU assembly
is an REL IFWU assembly.
    (ii) If the calculation specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD
results in 6 or less lift cycles per hour TIS, the IFWU assembly is
a Non-REL IFWU assembly.
    (2) For each IFWU assembly determined to be a Non-REL IFWU
assembly based on the first calculation of the 250-hour TIS moving
average for lift cycles specified in paragraph (h)(1) of this AD:
Within 50 hours TIS after the determination, and thereafter at
intervals of 50 hours TIS, recalculate the average lift cycles per
hour TIS to determine whether the IFWU assembly is an REL or non-REL
IFWU assembly. To perform the calculation, subtract the total number
of lift cycles performed during the first 50-hour TIS interval used
in the previous moving average calculation from the total number of
lift cycles performed on the IFWU assembly during the previous 300
hours TIS. Divide this result by 250. The result will be the next or
subsequent moving average calculation of lift cycles per hour TIS.
    (i) If any calculation specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD
results in more than 6 lift cycles per hour TIS, the IFWU assembly
is an REL IFWU assembly.
    (ii) If any calculation specified in paragraph (h)(2) of this AD
results in 6 or less lift cycles per hour TIS, the IFWU assembly is
a Non-REL IFWU assembly.

    Note 1 to paragraph (h)(2): Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation All
Operators Letter (AOL) CCS-61-AOL-04-0005, dated May 18, 2004,
provides an example and additional information about tracking cycles
and the moving average procedure.

    Note 2 to paragraph (h)(2):  The following is a sample
calculation for subsequent 50 hour TIS intervals. Assume the total
number of lift cycles for the first 50 hour TIS interval used in the
previous moving average calculation = 450 lift cycles and the total
number of lift cycles for the previous 300 hours TIS = 2,700 lift
cycles. The subsequent moving average of lift cycles per hour TIS =
(2,700-450) divided by 250 = 9 lift cycles per hour TIS.

    (3) Once an IFWU assembly is determined to be an REL IFWU
assembly, it remains an REL IFWU assembly for the rest of its
service life and is subject to the inspection for REL IFWU
assemblies required by paragraph (i) of this AD.
    (4) Once an IFWU assembly is determined to be an REL IFWU
assembly, you no longer need to perform the 250-hour TIS moving

average calculation required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD, but you
must continue to count and record the lift cycles as required by
paragraph (g)(2) of this AD.

(i) Repetitive Inspections of REL IFWU Assemblies and Replacement

    For each REL IFWU assembly, as determined by paragraph (h)(1) or
(2) of this AD:
    (1) Within 500 hours TIS or 7,500 lift cycles, whichever occurs
first since the assembly was determined to be a REL IFWU assembly,
and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 500 hours TIS or 7,500
lift cycles, whichever occurs first, inspect for wear, surface
distress, and endplay by following paragraphs B.(1) through B.(6) of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Alert Service Bulletin 61B35-67B, Revision B, dated August 11, 2003.
Record all the information specified in Figures 1 through 3 of the
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service Bulletin 61B35-67B,

 40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2015-0773; FRL-9944-73-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Attainment Plan and Base Year Inventory for the North
Reading Area for the 2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state
implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (Pennsylvania). The revision demonstrates attainment of
the 2008 lead national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) in the
North Reading 2008 lead nonattainment area (North Reading Area or
Area). The attainment plan includes the base year emissions inventory,
an analysis of reasonably available control technology (RACT),
reasonably available control measures (RACM), and reasonable further
progress (RFP), modeling demonstration of lead attainment, and
contingency measures for the Area. EPA is approving Pennsylvania's lead
attainment plan with the base year emissions inventory for the North
Reading Area as a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on May 9, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On January 11, 2016 (81 FR 1136), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the
NPR, EPA proposed approval of a revision to Pennsylvania's SIP for the
purpose of demonstrating attainment of the 2008 lead NAAQS in the North
Reading Area. The formal SIP revision was submitted by Pennsylvania on
August 12, 2015.
    On November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964), EPA revised the lead NAAQS,
lowering the level from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\) to
0.15 [mu]g/m\3\ calculated over a three-month rolling average.
Following promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, EPA is required by
the CAA to designate areas throughout the United States as attaining or
not attaining the NAAQS; this designation process is described in
section 107(d)(1) of the CAA.
    On November 22, 2010, EPA designated Alsace and Muhlenberg
Townships and the Laureldale Borough, all of which are located in Berks
County, Pennsylvania, as the North Reading Area for its nonattainment
status with the 2008 lead NAAQS. 76 FR 72097. The designation of the
North Reading Area as nonattainment for the 2008 lead NAAQS triggered
requirements under section 191(a) of the CAA, requiring Pennsylvania to
submit a SIP revision with a plan for how the Area will attain the 2008
lead NAAQS, as expeditiously as practicable, but no later than December
31, 2015.
    Section 179(a)(1) of the CAA establishes specific consequences if
EPA finds that a state has failed to submit a SIP or, with regard to a
submitted SIP, if EPA determines it is incomplete or if EPA disapproves
it. Additionally, any of these findings also triggers an obligation for
EPA to promulgate a federal implementation plan (FIP) if the state has
not submitted, and EPA has not approved, the required SIP within 2
years of the finding pursuant to section 110(c) of the CAA. On February
25, 2014, the EPA issued a finding that Pennsylvania failed to make the
required nonattainment SIP submission for the North Reading Area. 79 FR
10391. With this final approval by EPA of Pennsylvania's North Reading
attainment plan SIP in accordance with section 172(c) of the CAA, the
Agency no longer has any obligation to issue a FIP for the North
Reading Area in accordance with section 110(c) of the CAA.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On August 12, 2015, Pennsylvania through the Department of
Environmental Protection (PADEP) submitted an attainment plan for the
North Reading Area as a SIP revision which includes a base year
emissions inventory, an attainment demonstration, an analysis of RACM
and RACT, provisions for RFP, and contingency measures.
    The SIP revision also includes paragraph 3 of a consent order and
agreement (COA), dated June 15, 2015, between Exide Technologies
(Exide) and PADEP and paragraphs 5 and 22 of a COA, dated June 12,
2015, between Yuasa Battery, Inc (Yuasa) and PADEP. EPA's analysis of
the submitted attainment plan includes a review of these elements for
the North Reading Area.
    EPA's approval of the attainment plan is based on the Agency's
finding that the Area meets all lead NAAQS attainment plan requirements
under CAA sections 172, 191, and 192. Due to monitored ambient air
quality violations in early 2013, before a major source of lead began
idling, the Area did not attain the NAAQS, over 36 consecutive three-
month periods, by December 2015, the attainment date. However, as a
result of implementation of PADEP's August 12, 2015 SIP revision, EPA
and PADEP expect the North Reading Area will attain the 2008 lead NAAQS
on the basis of 2014-2016 ambient air quality data. EPA is approving
the base year emissions inventory submitted with the plan, as well as
the RACM/RACT and RFP analyses, the attainment demonstration including
modeling, and the contingency measures for the North Reading Area.
    Other specific requirements of the SIP submittal attainment plan
for the North Reading Area and the rationale for EPA's proposed action
are explained in the NPR and its accompanying Technical Support
Documents (TSDs) and will not be restated here.\1\ No public comments
were received on the NPR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the Control Strategies, Reasonable Further Progress, and
Contingency Measures TSD that accompanied EPA's NPR, published in
the Federal Register on January 11, 2016 (81 FR 1136), EPA
inadvertently made a misstatement when summarizing a small portion
of a COA between PADEP and Yuasa Battery, Inc. The statement made in
the TSD was ``Yuasa shall conduct stack testing on all the stacks
listed above in 2020, and thereafter in any year that is divisible,
with remainder, by five'' when it should have stated ``Yuasa shall
conduct stack testing on all the stacks listed above in 2020, and
thereafter in any year that is divisible, without remainder, by
five.'' This error was inadvertent and in no way alters EPA's
conclusion or analysis regarding reasonableness of Pennsylvania's
RACM for the North Reading Area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the lead attainment plan for the North Reading
Area and paragraph 3 of the COA between PADEP and Exide and paragraphs
5 and 22 of the COA between PADEP and Yuasa, as submitted on August 12,
2015 as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. EPA has determined that the
SIP meets the applicable requirements of the CAA. Specifically, EPA is
taking final action to approve Pennsylvania's August 12, 2015 SIP
submission which includes the attainment demonstration, base year
emissions inventory, RACM/RACT and RFP analyses, and contingency
measures.
    With the EPA's final approval of Pennsylvania's North Reading
attainment plan submittal, EPA no longer has any obligation to
promulgate a FIP for the North Reading Area pursuant to sections 110(c)
or 172(c) of the CAA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is 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.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is 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
     does 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 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 state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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 action 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 of the rule 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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 7, 2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action approving Pennsylvania's SIP revision containing
the attainment plan and base year inventory for the 2008 lead NAAQS in
the North Reading Area may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of September 1, 2009
(74 FR 45219), FDA requested emergency processing of this proposed
collection of information under section

3507(j) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3507(j)
and 5 CFR 1320.13). On June 22, 2009, the President signed FSPTCA into
law (Public Law 111-31). Section 101 of FSPTCA amends the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) by adding, among other things, new
sections 904 (21 U.S.C. 394) and 905 (21 U.S.C. 395).
    FDA originally identified its plan to collect the information
submission requirements of sections 905, 904(a)(1), and 904(a)(4)
through a single electronic portal. In addition to the electronic
portal, FDA also plans to provide a paper based form to collect this
information for those individuals who choose not to use the electronic
portal. FDA originally planned to launch the electronic portal for the
collection of this information on October 1, 2009. FDA now plans to
launch the electronic portal for the collection of this information on
November 2, 2009. If FDA were to use the normal PRA clearance
procedures, the availability of the electronic portal and the

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0565]

Lifejacket Approval Harmonization

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is finalizing the policy harmonizing personal
flotation device (PFD) standards between the United States and Canada
by accepting a new standard for approval of PFDs. As a result, PFD
manufacturers can meet a single North American standard instead of
separate standards for the United States and Canada. The standard is
outlined in a policy letter with a supporting deregulatory savings
analysis. This policy letter is intended to promote the Coast Guard's
maritime safety and stewardship missions. This policy does not affect
existing PFD approvals and does not require any action on the part of
boaters or mariners who have approved PFDs on board.

ADDRESSES: Documents mentioned in this notice, and all public comments,
are available in our online docket at http://www.regulations.gov, and
can be viewed by following that website's instructions.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information about this document
call or email Jacqueline Yurkovich, Coast Guard; telephone 202-372-
1389, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 17, 2018, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) published
a Notice of Availability and Request for Comments (83 FR 41095)
announcing that it was harmonizing PFD standards between the United
States and Canada by accepting a new standard for approval of PFDs. The
Coast Guard outlined the new standard in a draft policy letter with a
supporting deregulatory savings analysis and made those documents
available for public comment. The Coast Guard received input from six
commenters.

Discussion of Policy and Comments

    The Notice of Availability (83 FR 41095) summarizes the background
of the policy letter.
    During the notice of availability comment period, the Coast Guard
received input from six commenters, including mariners, the Life Jacket
Association, the National Marine Manufacturers Association, and the
Boat Owners Association of the United States. Below are summaries of,
and our responses to, those comments.
    Four commenters supported the efforts to harmonize the PFD
standards with ISO 12402. One commenter also stated that they supported
and appreciated the policy language stating that lifejackets already
approved would remain in compliance with the new policy. Some
commenters also suggested that the Coast Guard should broaden the
categories of buoyancy to specifically allow Level 50 and youth
inflatable PFDs in appropriate conditions. While the Coast Guard will
not include additional categories in this policy letter, we will take
the suggestions of the commenters under consideration in a future
rulemaking.
    One commenter stated that the Coast Guard should address potential
confusion in the recreational boating community with regard to the new
[policy] that ``Adult devices that cannot meet the requirements of
Level 70 with inherent buoyancy alone must be marked `Approval
conditions state that this device must be worn to be counted as
equipment required by vessels meeting Transport Canada or USCG
regulations.' '' \1\ As the Coast Guard accepts alternatives to the
markings of inflatable PFDs, the commenter urged that consideration
should also be given to adding markings that users need to test or
inflate the devices regularly in order to be approved for use. The
commenter stated that adding markings requiring inflatable PFD testing
would be in keeping with current Coast Guard practices, such as those
for PFD lights where alkaline batteries must be changed annually for
devices to maintain their approval. The commenter concluded that, to
this end, the USCG and Transport Canada should consider requiring
inflatable PFD manufacturers to add inspection tags, similar to fire
extinguisher inspection tags, to their PFDs where owners can record and
be reminded of their periodic inspections and tests. Additionally, the
commenter stated that the inflatable PFD age requirement of 16 should
be lowered to age 13 to close the gap between the age requirement for
wearing a PFD, located in 33 CFR 175.15 and the age range for an
inflatable PFD because PFD options are more limited in the 13-16 age
range. The Coast Guard acknowledges these concerns and suggestions and
aims to address any potential confusion about the subject policy in
this notice. With regard to adding new requirements that are not
discussed in the new standard being accepted, such as for additional
marking, testing, and inspection tags, these measures are outside of
the scope of the policy letter that is the subject of this notice.
These other measures may, however, be considered in future rulemaking.
Similarly, the Coast Guard may consider the appropriateness of
inflatable PFDs for wearers under 16 years of age in a future
rulemaking.

www.Regulations.gov under docket number USCG-2018-0565.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Coast Guard also received comments about the deregulatory
savings analysis. Specifically, one commenter said that the cost
savings analysis projects various hypothetical savings for the
manufacturing sector and the U.S. Government without regard for the end
users of the equipment (e.g., boaters, their families, insurance
companies, and community). The commenter also stated that deregulation
proposed to benefit the manufacturers may overlook the intended purpose
of life saving equipment and result in more costs to the boating
public, the U.S. taxpayers, and the U.S. government. The commenter also
suggested other modifications to law and policy that might increase
benefits in terms of lives saved--such as improving the rate of wear,
improving visibility of PFDs at nighttime, and considering user size
and weight.
    The Coast Guard acknowledges that this policy letter pertains to
producers of lifejackets primarily. Some portion of the cost savings
may be passed onto consumers by lowering the final purchase price of
lifejackets for consumers; however, the Coast Guard has no data to
indicate what share of the cost savings would be passed onto consumers.
Additionally, the Coast Guard has no evidence that this policy would
harm the boating public. The Coast Guard determined that the PFDs
permitted by this policy letter provide equivalent performance to a PFD
that meets the requirements of 46 CFR 160.064, 160.076, or 160.077-15.
Further, were any share of the cost savings estimated here to be passed
onto consumers, the safety of the boating public would be increased as
lifejackets would be cheaper. However, the stated goal of the policy
letter is harmonization via a single standard for manufacturers to
meet. The Coast Guard will consider this commenter's other suggestions
for possible future action.
    The commenter also said that the international agreement should
factor in tariffs, exchange rates, trade agreements, and currency
valuations. It is not clear how such secondary impacts would affect
harmonizing PFD standards between the United States and Canada and the
commenter did not describe how such secondary impacts were relevant to
this particular harmonization. Consequently, the Coast Guard does not
believe these secondary impacts are relevant to this issue.
    The same commenter said that the lifejackets used in the United
States and Canada are used in various water conditions and weather
conditions impacting their effectiveness, and that the length of time
that a boater has been in the water and the body of water the boater is
rescued from all have different characteristics impacting the
effectiveness of lifejackets.
    The commenter argued the maximum cost savings could be realized by
ensuring that each and every boater who is on the water is properly
equipped with the correct lifejackets because historically most
drownings involve boaters without lifejackets. The Coast Guard
considers such additional requirements to be outside the scope of this
policy letter.

Cost Savings Analysis

    Since the affected population and projected cost-savings estimates
have

remained the same from when we published the deregulatory savings
analysis in August 2018, we have retained the projected cost-saving
estimates for this notice, which we present below. As stated in the
aforementioned economic analysis, which is available in the public
docket, we estimate the annual net cost savings to the U.S. industry to
be $660,965 in 2016 dollars using a 7-percent discount rate over a 10-
year period of analysis. We estimate the total discounted net cost
savings to U.S. industry over a 10-year period of analysis to be
between $4.6 million and $5.7 million at 7- and 3-percent discount
rates, respectively.
    We estimate the annual net cost savings to the U.S. government to
be $8,571 per year over a 10-year period of analysis at a 7-percent
discount rate. We estimate the total discounted net cost savings to the
U.S. government to be between $60,000 and $73,000 at 7- and 3-percent
discount rates, respectively.
    We also estimate an annual net cost savings to foreign
manufacturers of $406,758 in 2016 dollars using a 7-percent discount
rate over a 10-year period of analysis. We estimate the total
discounted net cost savings to foreign industry over a 10-year period
of analysis to be between $2.9 million and $3.5 million at 7- and 3-
percent discount rates, respectively.
    We estimate the costs to industry from this policy letter as a one-
time switching cost between $40,000 and $41,000 at 7- and 3-percent
discount rates, respectively.
    Under a perpetual period of analysis, we estimate the total
annualized cost savings of our policy letter to the U.S. economy to be
$546,065 in 2016 dollars, using a 7-percent discount rate, and
discounted back to 2016.
    This notice is issued under authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace and Amendment of Class
E Airspace; Ephrata, WA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to establish Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface, and modify Class E surface area
airspace at Ephrata Municipal Airport, Ephrata, WA. This action also
proposes to update the geographic coordinates of the airport in the
associated Class E airspace areas to match the FAA's aeronautical
database. These changes are necessary to accommodate airspace redesign
for the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR)
operations within the National Airspace System. Also, an editorial
change would be made to the Class E surface airspace legal description
replacing ``Airport/Facility Directory'' with the term ``Chart
Supplement''.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 26, 2018.

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 would establish and amend Class E airspace at Ephrata Municipal
Airport, Ephrata, WA, to support standard instrument approach
procedures for IFR operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,

environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Persons wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2017-1031;
Airspace Docket No. 17-ANM-21''. The postcard will be date/time stamped
and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received before the specified closing date for
comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed rule.
The proposal contained in this notice may be changed in light of the
comments received. A report summarizing each substantive public contact
with FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective
September 15, 2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface and modifying Class E surface
area airspace at Ephrata Municipal Airport, Ephrata, WA.
    Class E surface area airspace would be modified to a 4.2-mile
radius of the airport (from a 4.4-mile radius of the Ephrata Municipal
Airport and within 2.7 miles each side of the Ephrata VORTAC 043[deg]
and 233[deg] radials extending from the 4.4-mile radius to 7 miles
northeast of the VORTAC). The exclusionary language noting Moses Lake,
WA, Class D airspace would be removed as it is not needed to define the
boundary.
    Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet would be
established within 4.2 miles northwest and 6.6 miles southeast of the
043[deg] and 223[deg] bearings from the airport extending from the
airport reference point to 11.1 miles northeast and 6.3 miles southwest
of the airport, respectively.
    Additionally, this action proposes to update the geographic
coordinates for the associated Class E airspace areas to match the
FAA's aeronautical database. Also, an editorial change would be made to
the Class E airspace legal descriptions replacing Airport/Facility
Directory with the term Chart Supplement.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and
effective September 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in the Order.

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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
