Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report that certain fasteners attaching the fuselage skin
to a certain stringer may be missing. This AD requires inspecting for
missing fasteners and

damage, including cracking, of the affected area, and repair or
installation of fasteners if necessary. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 3, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 3,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model BD-700-2A12 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on November 25, 2022 (87 FR 72419). The NPRM was prompted by
AD CF-2022-17, dated April 13, 2022, issued by Transport Canada, which
is the aviation authority for Canada (referred to after this as the
MCAI). The MCAI states that certain fasteners attaching the fuselage
skin to stringer 19 between fuselage station (FS) FS945.75 and FS961.45
may be missing. The affected area of the fuselage is a build-up of
skin, stringers, and frames, and is identified as a principal
structural element for which missing fasteners could significantly
reduce safety margins.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require inspecting for missing
fasteners and damage, including cracking, of the affected area, and
repair or installation of fasteners if necessary. The FAA is issuing
this AD to address missing fasteners, which may subject the skin to
inter-rivet buckling under compressive load. The unsafe condition, if
not addressed, could create a hazard of permanent deformation and/or
cracking of the skin.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1485.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Additional Changes Made to This AD

    The FAA has revised paragraph (g) of this AD to clarify that, if
any damage or missing fasteners are found, the damage must be repaired
or the fasteners installed before further flight. In the NPRM, the FAA
inadvertently left out the compliance time for this action. However, as
stated in the NPRM, the affected area is identified as a principal
structural element for which missing fasteners could significantly
reduce safety margins. Further, missing fasteners may create a hazard
of permanent deformation and/or cracking of the skin. Therefore, damage
needs to be repaired and missing fasteners need to be installed before
further flight to address the identified unsafe condition.

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product.
Except for minor editorial changes, and any other changes described
previously, this AD is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the
changes will increase the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Bombardier Service Bulletin 700-53-7547, dated
July 21, 2021. This service information specifies procedures for
inspecting the affected area of the fuselage skin attached to stringer
19 between FS945.75 and FS961.45 for missing fasteners and associated
damage, and for installing missing fasteners and repairing any damage.
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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 11 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 work-hours x $85 per hour = $425...........................              $0             $425           $4,675
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary on-
condition actions that would be required based on the results of any
required actions. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these on-condition actions:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Actions
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
27 work-hours x $85 per hour = $2,295.          $5,792           $8,087
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact
on affected operators.

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

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

NOTE SUBJECT 	Summary of August 21, 2012, meeting with DuPont  TO 		EPA-HQ-OPPT-2012-0258 FROM 	Katherine Sleasman 	DuPont met with EPA to discuss the recycling of carpet fibers. They provided a description of the process and asked EPA if this type of recycling would be considered as a significant new use under the proposed Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) definition of processing. The SNUR requires companies to report 90 days in advance of all new uses of long-chain perfluoroalkyl carboxylic (LCPFAC) chemicals as part of carpets or to treat carpets, including the import of new carpet containing LCPFACs. EPA responded by stating that we will consider all comments and that we believe processing including recycling is excluded from the SNUR and that it is not to be considered a significant new use. DuPont also asked about the timing for the second Significant New Use Rule related to chemicals in the 2010/15 PFOA Stewardship. EPA said we plan to look at the 2012 Chemical Data Reporting rule (CDR) data to inform the second SNUR. A copy of the attendance list and meeting materials are attached to this note.

identified through the scoping process.

Meeting Objectives

    At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Initiate scoping of the
issues; (2) review and discuss existing conditions and resource
management objectives; (3) review and discuss existing information and
identify preliminary information and study needs; (4) review and
discuss the process plan and schedule for pre-filing activity that
incorporates the time frames provided for in Part 5 of the Commission's
regulations and, to the extent possible, maximizes coordination of
federal, state, and tribal permitting and certification processes; and
(5) discuss the appropriateness of any federal or state agency or
Indian tribe acting as a cooperating agency for development of an
environmental document.
    Meeting participants should come prepared to discuss their issues
and/or concerns. Please review the PADs for both projects in
preparation for the scoping meetings. Directions on how to obtain a

SF-83 SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

RECORDKEEPING REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCERS OF PESTICIDES

40 CFR PART 169

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

Recordkeeping Requirements for Producers of Pesticides under section 8
of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act as amended
(FIFRA). ICR Number 0143.10

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

FIFRA section 8 states that the Administrator of the Environmental
Protection Agency may prescribe regulations requiring pesticide
producers, registrants and applicants for registration to maintain such
records with respect to their operations and the effective enforcement
of this Act and to make such records available for inspection and
copying as specified in the statute. The regulations at 40 CFR Part 169
(Books and Records of Pesticide Production and Distribution) specify the
following records that producers must keep and the disposition of those
records.

Producers must maintain records on production data for pesticides,
devices, or active ingredients (including pesticides produced pursuant
to an experimental use permit); receipt by the producer of pesticides,
devices, or active ingredients used in producing pesticides; delivery,
moving, or holding of pesticides; inventory; domestic advertising for
restricted use pesticides; guarantees; exports; disposal; human testing;
and tolerance petitions. Additionally, section 8 gives the Agency
inspectional authority to monitor the validity of research data
(including raw data), developed in accordance with Good Laboratory
Practice Standards, and used to support pesticide registration. These
records generally consist of the material produced during the course of
ordinary business activity, and are maintained in the location, manner,
and duration as is generally prudent for such records in the course of
ordinary business activity.

Respondents are required to maintain records of receipt, production,
shipping, and inventory for two years. Records regarding testing of
registered pesticides must be maintained for the life of the pesticide
registration, as such data are necessary to support the regulatory
decision.

Approximately 13,400 respondents are currently subject to this
requirement, and it is estimated that no additional respondents per year
will become subject to this requirement in the next three years. The
cost of this ICR to the respondents is estimated to be $1,107,524.00.
The estimate of number of respondents is based on the number of
pesticide producers who have responded to the latest mandatory annual
reporting response under FIFRA section 7, which defines the entire
universe of legal producers of pesticides for sale or distribution in
the United States. The estimated change is based on extrapolation from
trends in the number of reported producers over the last three years.
The estimated cost per producer has been estimated to consist entirely
of the cost of preparing records for inspection, as the recordkeeping
itself consists of activities that are considered to be customary
business practices.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

FIFRA section 8(a) states that the Administrator may prescribe
regulations requiring producers, registrants, and applicants for
registration to maintain such records with respect to their operations
and the pesticides and devices produced as the Administrator determines
are necessary for the effective enforcement of  FIFRA and to make such
records available for inspection and copying.

FIFRA section 1 2(a)(2)(B)(i) provides that it is unlawful for any
person to refuse to prepare, maintain, or submit any records required by
or under section 8 of the Act.

2(b) PRACTICAL UTILITY/USERS OF THE DATA

EPA must be able to examine and copy records at pesticide producers
demonstrating the identity, production, receipt, shipment, inventory,
advertisement, and guarantees with respect to all domestically sold or
distributed pesticides. This is necessary to determine that such
products are in compliance with FIFRA and to support enforcement action
against the products producers if they are not. EPA must be able to
examine and copy records with respect to exported pesticides in order to
determine that products that have been exported are in compliance with
labeling and foreign purchaser specification and acknowledgment
requirements, and to take support enforcement action against exporters
who do not comply with FIFRA requirements. EPA must be able to examine
records of pesticide disposal in order to protect public health and the
environment should it be necessary to locate such disposal sites. EPA
must be able to access records regarding testing on humans to protect
the health and safety of such testing subjects should potential adverse
effects become known. EPA must be able to access records regarding
testing of registered pesticides to determine the integrity of such
information, and the subsequent validity of regulatory decisions based
on such information that allow the continued sale and distribution of
specific pesticide products.

These data may be used by enforcement and compliance officers at the
federal and state level, and by regulatory officials at the federal and
state level.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

3(a) Nonduplication

The records required to be maintained are normal business records and as
such are only created upon the occurrence of a discrete activity. These
records may be reproduced at the time of an inspection but EPA does not
require a producer to submit these records to the Agency. Since it
applies to the original records, no duplication exists.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to 0MB

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR
was published in the Federal Register on August 20, 2007, Volume 72 page
46462.

3(c) Consultations

EPA received one comment which addressed the length of time the records
should be kept, suggesting records should be kept for 30 years.  This
ICR addresses requirements established in regulations (at 40 CFR Part
169) and cannot change those requirements.  When EPA established the
current regulations, it considered appropriate duration of recordkeeping
depending on the nature of the activities for which records were being
kept.  As a result, disposal records and records of tests involving
human subjects must be kept for 20 years, and data records in support of
registrations must be kept for the life of the registration.

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Each record required relates to a separate, discrete business activity.
Each record is generated only once in the course of each activity. It
would not be possible to reduce the collection frequency without
removing certain activities from compliance altogether.

3(e) General Guidelines

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contained in 40 CFR
Part 169 or otherwise pertinent to this request violate any of the
regulations established by 0MB in 5 CFR 1320.6.

3(f) Confidentiality

The required information consists of emissions data and other
information that have been

determined not to be private. However, any 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 40000, September 8,
1978; 43 FR 42251,

September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g) Sensitive Questions

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contained in 40 CFR
Part 169 or otherwise pertinent to this request contain sensitive
questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes

The three-digit Standard Industrial Classification codes assigned to
pesticide producers are 286 and 287.

4(b) INFORMATION REQUESTED

(i) Data Items

All data in this ICR that is recorded is required by 40 CFR Part 169.
Under this requirement producers of pesticides must maintain:

In a current status:

 Inventory records with respect to types and amounts of pesticides and
active ingredients or quantities of devices in stock. These records may
be discarded when updated with more current records. (169.2(e))

For one (1) year:

 copies of all guarantees given pursuant to section 1 2(a)(2)(C) of the
Act. (169.2(g))

 For two (2) years:

Records showing the product name, EPA registration number, experimental
use permit number, amounts per batch and batch identification numbers of
pesticides produced.

Records showing the brand names and quantities of pesticides produced.
(169.2(b))

Records showing the following information regarding receipt by the
producer of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients: brand name of
pesticide or device or common/chemical name of active ingredient; name
and address of shipper; name of delivering carrier; date received; and
quantities received. (169.2(c))

Records showing the following information regarding shipment by the
producer of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients: brand name of
pesticide or device or common/chemical name of active ingredient; name
and address of consignee; in the case of pesticides produced pursuant to
sections 5, 18, or 24 of the Act, the information required under these
sections and any regulations promulgated thereto regarding the
distribution of such pesticides; name of originating carrier; date
shipped or delivered for shipment; and quantities shipped or delivered
for shipment. (169.2(d))

Copies of all domestic advertising of the restricted uses of any
restricted use pesticide that the producer caused to have prepared.
(169.2(f))

 In the case of pesticides, devices, and active ingredients used in
producing pesticides intended solely for export: copies of
specifications or directions of the foreign purchaser for production of
such pesticides, devices, and active ingredients; copies of labels or
labeling required to comply with section 1 7(a)( 1) of the Act; and for
any pesticide not registered under section 3 or sold under section 6(a)(
1) of the Act, a copy of the statement from the foreign purchaser
acknowledging that the foreign purchaser is aware that the product is
not registered in the United States and cannot be sold for use in the
United States. (169.2(h))

(D) For twenty (20) years, or forwarded after three (3) years to EPA for
maintenance:

-

Records of the method of disposal, data or dates of disposal, location
of disposal sites, and types and amounts of pesticides or pesticide
active ingredients disposed of by the producer or contractor, deviations
from normal practice, and records on disposal of pesticides, active
ingredients, or containers specified pursuant to section 19 of the Act
or regulations promulgated thereto. (169.2(i))

Records of any tests conducted on human beings whether conducted by or
paid for by the producer, including: the names and addresses of subjects
tested, dates and types of tests; written consent of subjects to test;
instructions to subjects regarding purpose, nature, foreseeable health
consequences of the tests; and any records of adverse effects either
before or after the tests. (169.2(j))

For as long as a registration is valid and the producer is in business:

Records containing research data relating to registered pesticides
including data submitted to the EPA in support of a registration or
tolerance petition, and all underlying raw data. (169.2(k))

This period of retention is necessary to allow the agency to evaluate
the validity of data used to support pesticide registrations at any time
during the period that the product is registered. Without these data the
Agency would not be able to support its regulatory decision allowing the
product to be registered.

(ii) Respondent Activities

Read instructions- 40 CFR Part 169 regulations.

Plan activities- CBP

Gather information- CBP

Plan and review information for accuracy- CBP

 Store, file, and maintain the information- CBP

CBP- “Customary and Usual Business Practice”

During the course of normal and prudent business operations, a producer
would plan his and his staffs information collection activities, arrange
for the collection, review himself or have staff review the information
for accuracy, and arrange to maintain or store the information detailed
under 3(b). The information required to be kept is generally information
that prudent businesses would maintain. The Agency does not specify in
the regulation how the data to be gathered must be organized. Therefore,
producers can continue to gather the required data in a manner
consistent with their customary and usual business practices.

5. The Information Collected -- Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

5(a) Agency Activities

        In this collection the Agency will: 1) answer producers’
questions; 2) may audit or review data collected; 3) provide appropriate
protection of confidential business information; and 4) store long-term
data, if requested.

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Producers determine how best to comply with the requirements for
recordkeeping under FIFRA section 8. They may collect and store the
required data electronically. The Agency, through State, headquarters or
EPA Regional inspectors, may periodically audit or review the data at
sites chosen by individual producers. Other than review during periodic
inspections, those records will generally not be submitted to the Agency
unless the Agency requests them for a specific reason, such as a need to
review research data supporting a registration or in the preparation of
an enforcement case.

Those records pertaining to disposal of pesticide and human testing,
which are required to be retained for 20 years, may be turned over to
the Agency for storage after 3 years. The Agency then stores those
records in the form in which they are submitted. If a producer submits
section 8 records to the Agency, that portion of the records which are
not classified as Confidential Business Information (CBI) could be
accessed by the public through the Freedom of Information Act.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

The information collected under ICR # 0143 does not negatively impact
small businesses, since the records required to be maintained are those
which qualify as “customary and usual business activity.” To the
extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their
burden, the overall burden will be reduced. However, even though the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for small and
larger businesses, the Agency considers these requirements the minimum
needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further
for small businesses.

5(d) Collection Schedule

There is no specified collection schedule. Production of records for
Agency review occurs at the time of routine inspection, which occurs
approximately every two to three years, or when a specific need arises
to evaluate the compliance of a producer. For the purposes of
estimation, this is assumed to be annual, which overstates the actual
collection burden.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

The records that must be maintained for purposes of FIFRA section 8 are
generally those that a responsible company would maintain as good
business practice. It is estimated that the burden for a producer to
prepare for the possibility of an on- site EPA inspection of those
records, is two hours per year. The burden is due, therefore, less to
the actual recordkeeping requirement itself than to the burden placed
upon the record keeper in locating and presenting these records to an
inspector. While the actual burden that falls upon a company undergoing
an inspection may be greater than the estimated two hours, a given
company will undergo an inspection no more often than once every two to
three years, if that frequently. EPA estimates that approximately one
hour is spent by management employees in the planning and reviewing of
the records for presentation to an EPA inspector and one hour by a
clerical employee in the planning, gathering, and maintenance of the
information.

Table 2 documents the computation of individual burdens for each of the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. The
individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to
be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction
Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been
identified.

Responses to this information collection are mandatory, as required at
FIFRA sections 8 and 12(a)(2)(B). The 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 0MB control number.

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from
these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated at two (2)
person-hours. These hours are based on Agency knowledge and experience
with the pesticides program, the previously approved ICR, and any
comments received about time to prepare reports.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses labor rates of Executive, Administrative, and Managerial
($62.52, based on $29.77 per hour + 110% overhead) and Clerical ($29.11,
based on $13.86 per hour + 110% overhead). These rates were from the
United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Labor Statistics, May
2005, Table 2: Employment Costs for Civilian Workers by Occupational and
Industry Group.  Costs are determined to be equally divided between
managerial and clerical.

(ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs

The only type of industry costs associated with the information
collection activity in the standards are labor costs.

(iii) Capital/Start-up vs. Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

This is not applicable as there are no capital/start-up costs.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

As part of an existing and ongoing program, the developmental costs for
this information collection activity are minimal, and includes only the
preparation of a written justification, narrative, and description for
the clearance request, and the preparation of and description for the
clearance request, and the preparation of the SF 83. The EPA estimates
such costs at a GS-13 (step 1) salary level for two work weeks. Since
these activities occur only in the three-year clearance period, their
cost on a pro-rated annual basis is one-third of the total one-time
cost. The estimated cost is $2191.20 (hourly rate of $38.04, with an
additional benefits multiplication factor of 1.16, multiplied by 80
hours, and that number divided by 3). As a recordkeeping requirement,
rather than a reporting requirement, there are no additional Federal
costs directly associated with this information collection activity.
Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 1: Agency
Burden.

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

The number of existing respondents subject to 40 CFR Part 169 is 13,400.
The number of new respondents subject to 40 CFR Part 169 from the
previous ICR is 447, which is an adjustment reflecting fluctuations in
the numbers of respondents. The total annual labor costs are
$1,227,976.00 and total annual capital and O&M costs to the regulated
entity are $0 dollars. Details upon which this estimate is based appear
in Table 2: Industry Burden

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

The increase in burden of 893 hours annually is an adjustment due to a
change in the number of respondents since the last ICR..

6(g) Burden Statement

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 col1ection of
information unless it displays a currently valid 0MB control number. The
0MB control numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9
and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency’s need for this information, the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing
respondent burden, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR

I. Background

    On May 21, 2021, EPA published a final rule in the Federal Register
at 86 FR 27756 \1\ for Federal Plan Requirements for Municipal Solid
Waste (MSW) Landfills That Commenced Construction On or Before July 17,
2014, and Have Not Been Modified or Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014,
pursuant to section 111(d) of the CAA. This Federal Plan implements the
2016 Emission Guidelines, 40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX, Standards of
Performance for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced
Construction, Reconstruction, or Modification After July 17, 2014, in
areas without an approved state plan by requiring existing MSW
landfills that reach a landfill gas emissions threshold of 34 metric
tons of nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC) or more per year to install
a system to collect and control landfill gas. Other requirements for
applicable sources include emission limits, compliance schedules,
testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping. The final rule
established how a state can receive delegation of the MSW Landfills
Federal Plan for implementation and enforcement authority on behalf of
EPA. This procedure requires the state to submit a letter to EPA that
(1) demonstrates that the State has adequate resources, as well as the
legal and enforcement authority, to administer and enforce the program;
(2) includes an inventory of designated MSW landfills, which includes
those that have ceased operation, but have not been dismantled or
rendered inoperable, and an inventory of the designated units' air
emissions; (3) certifies that a public hearing was held on the state
delegation request; and (4) includes an MoA between the State and the
EPA that sets forth the terms and conditions of the delegation, the
effective date of the agreement, and the mechanism to transfer
authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-05-21/pdf/2021-10109.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of EPA's rulemaking, in July 2021 NHDES Air Resources
Division staff expressed interest in acquiring delegation of authority
to implement and enforce the Federal Plan for MSW landfills located in
New Hampshire, in accordance with CAA section 112(l) and 40 CFR 63.91.
On December 14, 2021 NHDES submitted to EPA Region 1 Air and Radiation
Division staff a preliminary draft of an MoA between the State and EPA
concerning this delegation. EPA and NHDES staff coordinated final edits
to the document until an agreement was met between the parties. NHDES
incorporated 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO (Subpart OOO) Federal Plan
Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced
Construction On or Before July 17, 2014 and Have Not Been Modified or
Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014 into the New Hampshire Code of
Administrative Rules, Chapter Env-A 500, Standards Applicable to
Certain New or Modified Facilities and Sources of Hazardous Air
Pollutants; State Plan for Designated Facilities and Pollutants, Part
Env-A 506, State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants. NHDES
held a public hearing regarding the proposed rulemaking in accordance
with 40 CFR 51.102 on February 22, 2022 in Concord, New Hampshire as
well as virtually through WebEx software. The comment period lasted
until March 4, 2022. That amendment became effective on May 25, 2022.
    On February 6, 2023 NHDES submitted to EPA a formal written request
for delegation of authority to implement and enforce the Federal Plan
for MSW landfills located in New Hampshire. The letter attached the
following documents, Attachment 1: State Resources, Legal and
Enforcement Authority, Attachment 2: Inventory of Designated MSW
Landfills and Emission Summary, Attachment 3: Public Hearing
Certification, Attachment 4: Public Hearing Certification, Attachment
4: MoA between EPA and NHDES, and Attachment 5: Env-A 500, Standards
Applicable to Certain New or Modified Facilities and Sources of
Hazardous Air Pollutants; State Plans for Designated Facilities and
Pollutants.
    After consideration of these materials, EPA determined that the
request letter and attached documents adequately fulfilled the state
delegation criteria provided in the final rulemaking notice. NHDES
demonstrated that its air agency has the requisite authority and
resources to administer and enforce the Federal Plan, via New
Hampshire's Revised Statutes Annotated (RSA) 125-C:6 Powers and Duties
of the Commissioner, 125-C:12 RSA Administrative Requirements, and RSA
125-C:15 Enforcement. According to the submitted inventory, the State
of New Hampshire currently has four active MSW landfills that are
subject to Subpart OOO: Mount Carberry Secure Landfill (Success), Four
Hills Solid Waste Landfill (Nashua), City of Lebanon Solid Waste
Facility (Lebanon), and Lower Mount Washington Valley Secure Solid
Waste Facility (Conway). NHDES provided a table of the reported NMOC
annual emissions from these landfills from 2015 through 2021. The
Certification of Public Process document, signed by Commissioner Scott
on February 6, 2023, confirms the public hearing was held on February
22, 2022 for ``Revision to Env-A 500, Standards Applicable to Certain
New or Modified Facilities and Sources of Hazardous Air Pollutants;
State Plans

for Designated Facilities and Pollutants and request for delegation of
the following standards: 40 CFR part 62 Subpart OOO, Federal Plan
Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced
Construction On or Before July 17, 2014 and Have Not Been Modified or
Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014.''
    The Memorandum of Agreement Concerning the Delegation of Authority
of the Federal Plan for Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills to the
New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency includes the delegation conditions
established, the authorities which NHDES assumes and EPA retains, a
policy statement defining the responsibilities of both parties, program
implementation procedures, reporting and transmittal of information
requirements, and contact information. It states that the MoA is
effective upon authorized signature by both NHDES and EPA and shall
have an effective date of the last date on which it is signed. The
mechanism to transfer authority is explicitly identified to be upon
signature of both parties. Subsequently, EPA will publish a Federal
Register action delegating NHDES the authority to implement and enforce
the Federal Plan.
    The MoA was signed by the NHDES Commissioner on February 6, 2023
and became effective upon signature of the EPA Region 1 Deputy Regional
Administrator on June 27, 2023. The Federal Plan is codified at Title
40 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 62, Subpart OOO. The text of EPA's
and NHDES's MoA, effective June 27, 2023, is incorporated by reference
in this docket.

II. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to amend regulatory text at 40 CFR part 62,
subpart EE--New Hampshire to promulgate the approved delegation of
authority to the NHDES for implementing and enforcing the Federal Plan
Requirements for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills That Commenced
Construction On or Before July 17, 2014 and Have Not Been Modified or
Reconstructed Since July 17, 2014 at 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO. The
proposed regulatory text is included in this proposed rule.
    EPA is soliciting public comments on the proposed regulatory text
or on other relevant matters. These comments will be considered before
taking final action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal
rulemaking procedure by submitting written comments to this proposed
action by following the instructions listed in the ADDRESSES section of
this Federal Register.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a State
Plan submittal that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. CAA sections 111(d) and 129(b); 40 CFR
part 60, subparts Ba and Cf; and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A; and 40 CFR
62.04. Thus, in reviewing state plan submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided they meet the criteria of the CAA.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 proposed 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); and
     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.
     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 State Plan 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.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-72452; File No. SR-ISE-2014-23]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Order Granting Approval of Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment No. 2, Regarding the Short-Term Option Series Program

June 24, 2014.

I. Introduction

    On April 22, 2014, the International Securities Exchange, LLC (the
``Exchange'' or ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) \1\ of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act''),\2\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\3\ a proposed rule change to amend its rules governing the
Short Term Option Series Program to introduce finer strike price
intervals for standard expiration contracts in option classes that also
have short term options listed on them (``related non-short term
options''), and to remove obsolete rule text concerning the listing of
new short term option series during the week of expiration. On May 1,
2014, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to the proposal.\4\ The
proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2, was published for
comment in the Federal Register on May 12, 2014.\5\ The Commission
received no comments on the proposal. This order approves the proposed
rule change, as modified by Amendment No. 2.

79 FR 27006 (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    On any Thursday or Friday that is a business day, the Exchange
currently may list short term options that expire at the close of
business on each of the next five Fridays that are business days and
are not Fridays in which monthly or quarterly options expire.\6\ These
short term options may be listed in strike price intervals of $0.50,
$1, or $2.50.\7\ The Exchange may also list standard expiration
contracts, which are listed in accordance with the regular monthly
expiration cycle, in wider strike price intervals of $2.50, $5, or
$10.\8\ During the week prior to expiration only, the Exchange is
permitted to list related non-short term option contracts in the
narrower strike price intervals available for short term option
series.\9\ Since this exception to the standard strike price intervals
is available only during the week prior to expiration, however,
standard expiration contracts regularly trade at significantly wider
intervals than their weekly counterparts.\10\ As a result, the Exchange
proposes to amend Supplementary Material .02(e) to Rule 504 and
Supplementary Material .01(e) to Rule 2009 to permit the listing of
related non-short term options in the same strike price intervals as
allowed for short term option series at any time during the month prior
to expiration, which begins on the first trading day after the prior
month's expiration date, subject to the provisions of Rule 504(f).\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Supplementary Material .02 to Rule 504; Supplementary
Material .01 to Rule 2009.
    \7\ See Supplementary Material .12 to Rule 504; Supplementary
Material .05 to Rule 2009. Specifically, the Exchange may list short
term options in $0.50 intervals for strike prices less than $75, or
for option classes that trade in one dollar increments in the
related non-short term option, $1 intervals for strike prices that
are between $75 and $150, and $2.50 intervals for strike prices
above $150. See id.
    \8\ See Rule 504(d). In general, the Exchange must list standard
expiration contracts in $2.50 intervals for strike prices of $25 or
less, $5 intervals for strike prices greater than $25, and $10
intervals for strike prices greater than $200. See id.
    \9\ See Supplementary Material .02(e) to Rule 504; Supplementary
Material .01(e) to Rule 2009.
    \10\ See Notice, supra note 5, at 27007.
    \11\ For example, since the April 2014 monthly option expired on
Saturday, April 19, the proposed rule change would allow the
Exchange to list the May 2014 monthly option in short term option
intervals starting Monday, April 21. See Notice, supra note 5, at
27007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange noted that it recently adopted rule text
that states that, notwithstanding any language to the contrary, short
term options may be added up to and including on the expiration
date.\12\ Accordingly, the Exchange proposes to delete rule text that
prohibits the opening of additional series listed pursuant to
Supplementary Material .12 to Rule 504 and Supplementary Material .05
to Rule 2009 during the week of expiration.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 71033 (December 11,
2013), 78 FR 76375 (December 17, 2013) (SR-ISE-2013-68).
    \13\ See Notice, supra note 5, at 27007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also stated that is has analyzed its capacity, and
represented that it and the Options Price Reporting Authority
(``OPRA'') have the necessary systems capacity to handle any potential
additional traffic associated with this proposed rule change.\14\ In
addition, the Exchange stated that it believes that its members will
not have a capacity issue as a result of this proposal.\15\
Furthermore, the Exchange stated that it does not believe the proposed
rule change will cause fragmentation of liquidity.\16\

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\17\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed

rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\18\ which
requires, among other things, that the rules of a national securities
exchange be designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade,
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, and, in general, to protect investors and the public
interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered its impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed change may provide the
investing public and other market participants more flexibility to
closely tailor their investment and hedging decisions, thus allowing
them to better manage their risk exposure. As the Exchange notes,
standard expiration contracts currently trade in wider strike price
intervals than their weekly counterparts, except during the week prior
to expiration.\19\ The Exchange further states that this creates a
situation where contracts on the same option class that expire both
several weeks before and several weeks after the standard expiration
are eligible to trade in strike price intervals that the standard
expiration contract is not.\20\ According to the Exchange, the proposed
rule change will increase market efficiency by harmonizing strike price
intervals for contracts that are close to expiration, whether those
contracts are listed pursuant to weekly or monthly expiration
cycles.\21\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See Notice, supra note 5, at 27007.
    \20\ See Notice, supra note 5, at 27007-8.
    \21\ See Notice, supra note 5, at 27008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposed rule change to remove
obsolete rule next concerning the listing of new short term option
during the week of expiration is consistent with the Act because it
protects investors and the public interest by eliminating any confusion
about the opening of additional series during the week of expiration.
    Finally, in approving this proposal, the Commission notes that the
Exchange has represented that it and OPRA have the necessary systems
capacity to handle the potential additional traffic associated with
this proposed rule change.\22\ The Exchange further stated that it
believes its members will not have a capacity issue as a result of the
proposal and that it does not believe this expansion will cause
fragmentation of liquidity. \23\

    \23\ Id.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the Act
\24\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ISE-2014-23), as modified by
Amendment No. 2, be, and hereby is, approved.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On June 6, 2019, PHMSA published a notice announcing the
availability of a draft environmental assessment for public review.
Specifically, PHMSA received a request for a special permit from Energy
Transport Solutions, LLC seeking authorization to transport ``Methane,
Refrigerated Liquid'' (UN1972), commonly known and liquefied natural
gas (LNG), in a rail tank car. The request is to authorize shipment of
LNG in a DOT specification 113C120W tank car subject to certain
operational conditions. We invited interested persons to review and
provide comment on the ``draft environmental assessment'' for this
special permit request; and to include relevant information on
potential safety, environmental, and any additional impacts that should
be considered. PHMSA has also included the draft special permit in the
docket for this notice as further reference material. The notice, draft
environmental assessment, and draft special permit are available for
review at http://www.regulations.gov under Docket number PHMSA-2019-
0100.
