I. Proposed Action

    On November 3, 2017 (82 FR 51178) the EPA proposed to approve the
following rule into the California SIP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Local agency                    Rule No.               Rule title          Adopted        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NSAQMD, City of Portola..........  Ordinance No. 344,        Wood Stove and             06/22/16        01/24/17
                                    Municipal Code Chapter    Fireplace
                                    15.10 (except             Ordinance.
                                    paragraphs
                                    15.10.060(B), 15.10.090
                                    and 15.10.100).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed to approve this rule because we determined that it
complies with the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action
contains more information on the rule and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received 18 comments. One commenter supported
the proposed rulemaking. The remaining commenters generally raised
issues that are outside of the scope of this rulemaking, including
forest management, wildfire suppression, greenhouse-gas and other
emissions from wildfires, the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, and
litigation fees. Commenters did not raise any specific issues germane
to the approvability of the rule.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving this rule into
the California SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the City
of Portola ordinance described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region
IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under 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, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the Act. 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);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or pre-empt
tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November
9, 2000).
    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. The 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).
    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 May 4, 2018. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. CP16-486-000; PF16-3-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, LLC; Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Eastern System Upgrade Project

    On July 29, 2016, Millennium Pipeline Company, LLC (Millennium)
filed an application in Docket No. CP16-486-000 requesting a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity pursuant to Section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act to construct and operate certain natural
gas pipeline facilities. The proposed project is known as the Eastern
System Upgrade Project (Project), and it would transport additional
natural gas from Millennium's existing Corning Compressor Station to an
existing interconnect with Algonquin Gas Transmission, LLC in Ramapo,
New York.
    On August 11, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
(Commission or FERC) issued its Notice of Application for the Project.
Among other things, that notice alerted agencies issuing federal
authorizations of the requirement to complete all necessary reviews and
to reach a final decision on a request for a federal authorization
within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's
Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Project. This instant notice
identifies the FERC staff's planned schedule for the completion of the
EA for the Project.

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA, April 7, 2017.
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline, July 6, 2017.

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The proposed Project includes (i) approximately 7.8-miles of 30-
and 36-inch-diameter pipeline loop in Orange County, New York; (ii) a
new 22,400 horsepower (HP) compressor station in Sullivan County, New
York (Highland Compressor Station); (iii) additional 22,400 HP at the
existing Hancock Compressor Station in Delaware County, New York; (iv)
modifications to the existing Ramapo Meter and Regulator Station in
Rockland County, New York; (v) modifications to the Wagoner
Interconnect in Orange County, New York; (vi) additional pipeline
appurtenant facilities at the existing Huguenot and Westtown Meter and
Regulator Stations in Orange County, New York; and (vii) an alternate
interconnect to the 16-inch-diameter Valley Lateral at milepost 7.6 of
the Project. The Project would allow Millennium to transport an
additional 233,000 dekatherms per day of additional natural gas
service.

Background

    On May 11, 2016, the Commission issued a Notice of Intent to
Prepare an Environmental Assessment for the Planned Eastern System
Upgrade Project and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues (NOI).
The NOI was issued during the pre-filing review of the Project in
Docket No. PF16-3-000 and was sent to affected landowners; federal,
state, and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental
and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other interested
parties; and local libraries and newspapers. In response to the NOI,
the Commission received comments from the New York State Department of
Agriculture (NYSDAM), the Delaware Tribe of Indians, the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), environmental and public
interest groups, and individual stakeholders. The primary issues raised
by commentors addressed concerns specific to the Highland Compressor
Station, including health risks associated with air and greenhouse gas
emissions, and socioeconomic impacts. Commentors also expressed
concerns regarding Project impacts on surface and groundwater;
wetlands; threatened and endangered species; cultural resources and
historic structures; soils; property values; safety, including strains
on local emergency services; pollution prevention practices; and
climate change.
    The EPA, NYSDAM, Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, and Delaware
Tribe of Indians are

participating as cooperating agencies in the preparation of this EA.

Additional Information

    In order to receive notification of the issuance of the EA and to
keep track of all formal issuances and submittals in specific dockets,

Medical Devices; Availability of Safety and Effectiveness
Summaries for Premarket Approval Applications

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is publishing a list of
premarket approval applications (PMAs) that have been approved. This
list is intended to inform the public of the availability of safety and
effectiveness summaries of approved PMAs through the Internet and the
agency's Division of Dockets Management.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for copies of summaries of safety
and effectiveness data to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305),
Food and Drug Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, rm. 1061, Rockville,
MD 20852. Please cite the appropriate docket number as listed in Table
1 of this document when submitting a written request. See the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In the Federal Register of January 30, 1998 (63 FR 4571), FDA
published a final rule that revised 21 CFR 814.44(d) and 814.45(d) to
discontinue individual publication of PMA approvals and denials in the
Federal Register. Instead, the agency now posts this information on the
Internet on FDA's home page at http://www.fda.gov. FDA believes that
this procedure expedites public notification of these actions because
announcements can be placed on the Internet more quickly than they can
be published in the Federal Register, and FDA believes that the
Internet is accessible to more people than the Federal Register.
    In accordance with section 515(d)(4) and (e)(2) of the Federal
Food, Drug, and

Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 360e(d)(4) and (e)(2)), notification
of an order approving, denying, or withdrawing approval of a PMA will
continue to include a notice of opportunity to request review of the
order under section 515(g) of the act. The 30-day period for requesting
reconsideration of an FDA action under Sec.  10.33(b) (21 CFR 10.33(b))
for notices announcing approval of a PMA begins on the day the notice
is placed on the Internet. Section 10.33(b) provides that FDA may, for
good cause, extend this 30-day period. Reconsideration of a denial or
withdrawal of approval of a PMA may be sought only by the applicant; in
these cases, the 30-day period will begin when the applicant is
notified by FDA in writing of its decision.
    The regulations provide that FDA publish a quarterly list of
available safety and effectiveness summaries of PMA approvals and
denials that were announced during that quarter. The following is a
list of approved PMAs for which summaries of safety and effectiveness
were placed on the Internet from April 1, 2008, through June 30, 2008.
There were no denial actions during this period. The list provides the
manufacturer's name, the product's generic name or the trade name, and
the approval date.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    Section 15A(g)(3) of the Act \7\ requires FINRA to prescribe
standards of training, experience, and competence for persons
associated with FINRA members. In accordance with that provision, FINRA
has developed examinations, and administers examinations developed by
other self-regulatory organizations, that are designed to establish
that persons associated with FINRA members have attained specified

    Pursuant to NASD Rule 1032(e), each associated person of a member
who is included within the definition of representative in NASD Rule
1031(b) may register with FINRA as a Limited Representative--Corporate
Securities if: (1) The individual's activities in the investment
banking and securities business of the member are limited solely to the
solicitation, purchase and sale of a ``security,'' as that term is
defined in section 3(a)(10) of the Act; (2) the individual does not
engage in any

activities relating to the following securities: Municipal securities
as defined in section 3(a)(29) of the Act; option securities as defined
in NASD Rule 2860; redeemable securities of companies registered
pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (except for money market
funds); variable contracts of insurance companies registered pursuant
to the Securities Act of 1933; and direct participation program
securities as defined in NASD Rule 1022(e); and (3) the individual
passes the Series 62 qualification examination.
    A committee of industry representatives, together with FINRA staff,
recently undertook a review of the Series 62 examination program. As a
result of this review, FINRA is proposing to make revisions to the
study outline to reflect changes to the laws, rules, and regulations
covered by the examination and to better reflect the duties and
responsibilities of a Limited Representative--Corporate Securities.
    Among other revisions, FINRA is proposing to revise the references
to the FINRA and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'') rules in the
study outline to reflect NASDAQ's separation from FINRA (then known as
NASD). In addition, FINRA is proposing to add sections on exchange-
traded funds, hedge funds, unit investment trusts, SEC Regulation M-A
(Mergers and Acquisitions), SEC Regulation S-K, SEC Regulation S-X, SEC
Regulation NMS, SEC Regulation SHO and SEC Rule 405 (Definitions of
Terms). FINRA also is proposing to add sections on NASD IM-2110-7
(Interfering With the Transfer of Customer Accounts in the Context of
Employment Disputes), IM-2440-2 (Additional Mark-Up Policy For
Transactions in Debt Securities, Except Municipal Securities) and IM-
2210-6 (Requirements for the Use of Investment Analysis Tools), as well
as on NASD Rules 2111 (Trading Ahead of Customer Market Orders), 2370
(Borrowing From or Lending to Customers) and 2441 (Net Transactions
with Customers).
    FINRA is proposing to change the title of section 1 of the study
outline from ``Characteristics of Corporate Securities'' to ``Types and
Characteristics of Securities and Investments,'' the title of section 3
from ``Valuing Corporate Securities'' to ``Evaluation of Securities and
Investments,'' and the title of section 4 from ``Handling Customer
Accounts'' to ``Handling Customer Accounts and Securities Industry
Regulations.'' Further, as a result of the revisions discussed above,
the number of questions on each section of the study outline was
modified as follows: Types and Characteristics of Securities and
Investments, decreased from 28 to 25 questions; The Market for
Corporate Securities, increased from 31 to 40 questions; Evaluation of
Securities and Investments, no changes to the number of questions
(remains at 14 questions); and Handling Customer Accounts and
Securities Industry Regulations, decreased from 42 to 36 questions.
    FINRA is proposing similar changes to the Series 62 selection
specifications and question bank. The number of questions on the Series
62 examination will remain at 115, and candidates will continue to have
2\1/2\ hours to complete the exam. Also, each question will continue to
count one point, and each candidate must correctly answer 70 percent of
the questions to receive a passing grade.
2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed revisions to the Series 62
examination program are consistent with the provisions of sections
15A(b)(6) \8\ and 15A(g)(3) of the Act,\9\ which authorize FINRA to
prescribe standards of training, experience, and competence for persons
associated with FINRA members.

Amendment 39-15618; AD 2008-15-06]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Cessna Aircraft Company Models 175 and
175A Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Cessna Aircraft Company (Cessna) Models 175 and 175A airplanes. This AD
requires you to check the airplane logbook to determine if the original
engine mounting brackets have been replaced. If the original engine
mounting brackets are still installed, this AD requires you to
repetitively inspect those brackets for cracks and replace any cracked
engine mounting bracket. After replacing all four original engine
mounting brackets, no further action will be required by this AD. This
AD was prompted by a report that the engine became detached from the
firewall during landing on one of the affected airplanes. We are
issuing this AD to detect and correct cracks in the engine mounting
brackets, which could result in failure of the engine mounting bracket.
This failure could lead to the engine detaching from the firewall.

DATES: This AD becomes effective on September 2, 2008.
    On September 2, 2008, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On March 31, 2008, we issued a proposal to amend part 39 of the
Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR part 39) to include an AD that
would apply to certain Cessna Models 175 and 175A airplanes. This
proposal was published in the Federal Register as a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) on April 8, 2008 (73 FR 19017). The NPRM proposed to
require you to check the airplane logbook to determine if the original
engine mounting brackets have been replaced. If the original engine
mounting brackets are still installed, the NPRM proposed to require you
to repetitively inspect those brackets for cracks and replace any
cracked engine mounting bracket. After replacing all four original
engine mounting brackets, no further action would be required by the
NPRM.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the proposal or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data and determined that
air safety and the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed
except for minor editorial corrections. We have determined that these
minor corrections:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 1,218 airplanes in the U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to do the inspection:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Total cost per   Total cost on
                  Labor cost                               Parts cost                airplane     U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7.5 work-hours x $80 per hour = $600..........  Not applicable..................            $600        $730,800
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary replacements:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       Total cost per
         Labor cost                Parts cost             airplane
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 work-hours per bracket x    $200 per bracket. 4   $440 per bracket.
 $80 per hour = $240 per       x $200 = $800 for     $1,760 to replace
 bracket. 4 brackets per       all 4 brackets.       all 4 brackets.
 airplane x $240 per bracket
 = $960.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106 describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this AD.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a summary of the costs to comply with this AD (and
other information as included in the Regulatory Evaluation) and placed
it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary by sending a
request to us at the address listed under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket
No. FAA-2007-29240; Directorate Identifier 2007-CE-076-AD'' in your
request.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``National Volatile
Organic Compound Emission Standards for Architectural Coatings,'' (EPA
ICR No. 1750.08, OMB Control No. 2060-0393) to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting public
comments on specific aspects of the proposed information collection as
described below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is
currently approved through April 30, 2018. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 15, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act,
the EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the validity of the methodology
and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The
EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal
Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: The EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) to regulate volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from
the use of consumer and commercial products. Pursuant to CAA section
183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products
and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Architectural and
industrial maintenance coatings are included on the list, and the
standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart D.
The information collection includes initial reports and periodic

recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with federal
standards for VOC in architectural coatings. Respondents are
manufacturers, distributors, and importers of architectural coatings.
Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart
D--National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for
Architectural Coatings. All information submitted to the EPA for which
a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the
agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B--Confidentiality
of Business Information.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action as respondents are manufacturers, distributors, or
importers of architectural and industrial maintenance coatings and
coating components for sale or distribution in the United States,
including the District of Columbia and all United States territories.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under 40 CFR part 59,
subpart D--National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for
Architectural Coatings.
    Estimated number of respondents: 500 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 14,436 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,377,634 (per year). There are no
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: This notice reflects differences in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. Specifically, the total estimated respondent burden hours have
changed from 14,661 to 14,436 and the total estimated respondent burden
cost has changed from $1,261,526 to $1,377,634, which is a reflection
of a mathematical error that was identified during the development of
this renewal. The individual elements that are compiled to reflect
total respondent burden hours and cost have not changed since the last
renewal, we're only correcting the math error for the total estimated
burden.
