14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2023-0664; Project Identifier MCAI-2022-01527-E]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. (Type
Certificate Previously Held by WALTER Engines a.s., Walter a.s., and
MOTORLET a.s.) Turboprop Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all GE Aviation Czech s.r.o. (GEAC) M601E-11AS, M601E[hyphen]11S,
H75-100, H80-100, and H85-100 model turboprop engines. This proposed AD
was prompted by reports of multiple failures of the needle bearing
installed in propeller governors having part numbers (P/Ns) P-W11-1 or
P-W11-2, caused by self-generated debris from the needle bearing, which
led to oil contamination. This proposed AD would require replacement of
the affected propeller governors with a redesigned propeller governor,
and would prohibit installation of the affected propeller governors, as
specified in a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which
is proposed for incorporation by reference (IBR). The FAA is proposing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 22,
2023.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2022-0234, dated December 1, 2022
(EASA AD 2022-0234) (also referred to as the MCAI), to address an
unsafe condition for all GEAC M601E-11AS, M601E-11S, M601FS, H75-100,
H80-100 and H85-100 model turboprop engines. Model M601FS turboprop
engines do not have an FAA type certificate, therefore this proposed AD
does not include those engines in the applicability. The MCAI states
that there have been reports of multiple needle bearing failures that
affect propeller governors having P/Ns P-W11-1 and P-W11-2. Further
investigation revealed that those failures were caused by self-
generated debris from the needle bearing, which led to oil
contamination. In response to the unsafe condition, the manufacturer
developed a redesigned propeller governor to replace propeller
governors having P/Ns P-W11-1 and P-W11-2.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-0664.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2022-0234, which specifies procedures for
the replacement of propeller governors having P/Ns P-W11-1 and P-W11-2
with a redesigned propeller governor.
    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 ADDRESSES.

FAA's Determination

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with the State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI described above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM after
determining that the unsafe condition described previously is likely to
exist or develop in other products of these same type designs.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in EASA AD 2022-0234, described previously, except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA developed a process to use some civil aviation
authority (CAA) ADs as the primary source of information for compliance
with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has since
coordinated with other manufacturers and CAAs to use this process. As a
result, the FAA proposes to incorporate by reference EASA AD 2022-0234
in the FAA final rule. This proposed AD would, therefore, require
compliance with EASA AD 2022-0234 in its entirety through that
incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions in
the regulatory text of this proposed AD. Using common terms that are
the same as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not
mean that operators need comply only with that section. For example,
where the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and
compliance times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited
to the section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in
EASA AD 2022-0234. Service information required by the EASA AD for
compliance will be available at regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2023-0664 after the FAA final rule is
published.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect seven engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost           Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Remove and replace propeller          3 work-hours x $85 per           $7,000           $7,255          $50,785
 governor.                             hour = $255.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed 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

    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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

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

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange 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. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant parts of such
statements.

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

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to offer Users \6\ an
additional tool to manage risk and exercise additional control over
their quotations in equity securities (i.e., ``Purge Ports'').
Specifically, the Exchange proposes to: (1) Establish Purge Ports for
equities trading and amend the Interpretations and Policies to Rule
11.10, Order Execution, to reflect the proposed Purge Ports, and (2)
modify the EDGA fee schedule to identify and to set fees for Purge
Ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ A ``User'' is any Member or Sponsored Participant who is
authorized to obtain access to the System pursuant to Rule 11.3. See
Rule 1.5(ee).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Purge Ports are already available on the Exchange's affiliated
options markets--i.e., the options trading platform of Cboe BZX
Exchange, Inc. (``BZX Options''), the options trading platform of Cboe
EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX Options''), and Cboe C2 Exchange, Inc.
(``C2'').\7\ Based on the successful experience with Purge Ports for
options, and in response to demand for similar functionality for
equities trading, the Exchange has determined to offer Purge Ports on
EDGA. The Exchange believes that the proposed Purge Port functionality
will provide an effective tool for Users to manage their risk
associated with equities trading.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 79956 (February 3,
2017), 82 FR 10102 (February 9, 2017) (SR-BatsBZX-2017-05); 79957
(February 3, 2017), 82 FR 10070 (February 9, 2017) (SR-BatsEDGX-
2017-07); 83201 (May 9, 2018), 83 FR 22546 (May 15, 2018) (SR-C2-
2018-006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Background
    A logical port represents a port established by the Exchange within
the Exchange's system for trading and billing purposes. Each logical
port established is specific to a Member or non-Member and grants that
Member or non-Member the ability to accomplish a specific function,
such as order entry, order cancellation, or data receipt. In addition,
logical ports enable Users to access information such as execution
reports, execution report messages, auction notifications, and
administrative data through a single feed.
Purge Ports
    The Exchange now proposes to amend the Interpretations and Policies
to Rule 11.10, Order Execution, to identify Purge Ports, a new type of
logical port that would enable Users to cancel all open orders, or a
subset thereof, across multiple logical ports through a single cancel
message. The Exchange also proposes to amend the EDGA fee schedule to
adopt fees for Purge Ports.
    The proposed ports are designed to assist Users, including Market
Makers,\8\ in the management of, and risk control over, their quotes,
particularly if the firm is quoting a large number of securities. For
example, if a Market Maker detects market indications that may
influence the direction or bias of his or her quotes, the Market Maker
may use the proposed Purge Port(s) to reduce uncertainty and to manage
risk by purging all quotes in a number of securities. This would allow
the firm to seamlessly avoid unintended executions, while continuing to
evaluate the direction of the market. While Purge Ports will be
available to all Users, the Exchange anticipates they will be used
primarily by Market Makers or firms that conduct similar business
activity and are therefore exposed to a large amount of risk across a
number securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ A ``Market Maker'' is a Member that acts as a Market Maker
pursuant to Chapter XI. See Rule 1.5(l).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Users may currently cancel orders through their existing logical
ports. In addition, the Exchange offers risk functionality pursuant to
Interpretation and Policies .01 to Rule 11.10 that permits Users to
block new orders from being submitted, to cancel all open orders, or to
both block new orders and cancel all open orders. In addition to the
current risk functionality, which is being retained, the Exchange now
proposes to expand the ability of Users to cancel orders through the
proposed Purge Ports, which would enable them to cancel all open
orders, or a subset thereof, across multiple logical ports through a
single cancel message. The mass cancel request may be limited to a
subset of orders by identifying the range of orders to be purged. Users
may also request via a Purge Port that the Exchange block all or a
subset of new orders submitted, and the block will remain in effect
until the User requests that the Exchange remove the block.
    The Exchange proposes to amend the Interpretations and Policies to
Rule 11.10, Order Execution, to reflect the proposed Purge Port
functionality. As described above, Interpretation and Policies .01 to
Rule 11.10 currently states that the Exchange offers risk functionality
that permits Users to block new orders submitted, to cancel all open
orders, or to both block new orders and cancel all open orders. The
Exchange proposes to move this language to Interpretations and Policies
.02(a) to Rule 11.10,\9\ and add additional language to describe the
flexibility provided using the proposed Purge Ports. Specifically, as
proposed, Interpretations and Policies .02(b) to Rule 11.10 will state
that a ``Purge Port'' is a dedicated port that permits a User to
simultaneously cancel all or a subset of its orders in one or more
symbols across multiple logical ports by requesting the Exchange to
effect such cancellation. The proposed rule will also provide that a
User initiating such a request may also request that the Exchange block
all or a subset of its new inbound orders in one or more symbols

across multiple logical ports. The block will remain in effect until
the User requests the Exchange remove the block.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ The Exchange also proposes to make a non-substantive change
that deletes the introductory clause of this sentence.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the Exchange proposes to modify the Logical Port Fees
section of the EDGA fee schedule to adopt a fee for Purge Ports of $650
per port/per month, which would compensate the Exchange for the
investment that it has made in making Purge Ports available to firms
that believe they would benefit from a dedicated purge mechanism. Only
firms that request Purge Ports would be subject to the proposed fees,
and other firms can continue to operate in exactly the same manner as
they do today without dedicated Purge Ports.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder that are applicable to a national securities exchange, and,
in particular, with the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act.\10\
Specifically, the proposed rule change is consistent with Sections
6(b)(4) and 6(b)(5) of the Act,\11\ because it is designed to provide
for the equitable allocation of reasonable dues, fees and other charges
among its members and other persons using its facilities, and is
designed to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4) and (5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change would promote
just and equitable principles of trade and remove impediments to and
perfect the mechanism of a free and open market because offering Users,
including Market Makers, designated Purge Ports would enhance their
ability to manage quotes, quote traffic, and their quoting
obligations,\12\ which would, in turn, improve their risk controls to
the benefit of all market participants. The Exchange believes that the
Purge Ports would foster cooperation and coordination with persons
engaged in facilitating transactions in securities because designating
Purge Ports for purge messages (including blocking subsequent order
entry) may encourage better use of such dedicated ports. This may,
concurrent with the logical ports that carry quote and other
information necessary for market making activities, enable more
efficient, as well as fair and reasonable, use of Market Makers'
resources. Although dedicated Purge Ports are a new innovation for
equities exchanges, similar connectivity and functionality is offered
by options exchanges, including the Exchange's own affiliated options
exchanges.\13\ The Exchange believes that proper risk management,
including the ability to efficiently cancel multiple orders at once, is
similarly important to firms that trade in the equities market,
including Market Makers that have heightened quoting obligations that
are not applicable to other market participants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ See Rule 11.20(d).
    \13\ See supra note 8. See also e.g. Nasdaq ISE, LLC, Schedule
of Fees, V. Connectivity Fees, C. Ports and Other Services, SQF

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

    The proposed rule change will not relieve Market Makers of their
continuous quoting obligations under Rule 11.20(d) or firm quote
obligations under Regulation NMS Rule 602.\14\ Specifically, any
interest that is executable against a User's or Market Maker's quotes
and orders that is received by the Exchange prior to the time of the
removal of quotes request will automatically execute at that price, up
to the quote's size. Market Makers that purge their quotes will not be
relieved of the obligation to provide continuous two-sided quotes on a
daily basis, nor will it prohibit the Exchange from taking disciplinary
action against a Market Maker for failing to meet their continuous
quoting obligation each trading day.

    \14\ 17 CFR 242.602.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Dedicated Purge Ports, which were originally introduced for options
trading, are a new feature in the equities market, and the Exchange is
the first equities exchange to offer this functionality to Users. The
Exchange has incurred additional infrastructure and technology costs in
offering the proposed Purge Ports, including costs associated with the
purchase of new hardware to support these dedicated ports, and software
development, testing, and certification work associated with the risk
management functionality made available through such ports. The
Exchange also has continuing costs associated with maintenance and
monitoring of the proposed ports. The Exchange believes that its
proposed fees should facilitate the ability of the Exchange to recoup
some costs associated with Purge Ports as well as provide, maintain,
and improve Purge Ports.\15\ The proposed fees therefore directly
support the introduction of new and innovative risk management features
to the market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Purge Ports will be fee liable on a monthly basis (and not
only when such ports are active), which will help the Exchange to
recoup the cost of these ports.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed fee for Purge Ports is equitable
and reasonable. The Exchange currently charges $550 per port/per month
for logical ports.\16\ The Exchange believes it is equitable and
reasonable to charge $650 per month for the proposed Purge Ports as
such ports were specially developed to allow for the sending of a
single message to cancel multiple orders, thereby assisting firms in
effectively managing risk. In addition, Purge Port requests may cancel
orders submitted over numerous ports and contain added functionality to
purge only a subset of these orders. Effective risk management is
important both for individual market participants that choose to
utilize risk features provided by the Exchange, as well as for the
market in general. As a result, the Exchange believes that it is
appropriate to charge fees that compensate for the development of such
functionality as doing so aids in the maintenance of a fair and orderly
market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The fee for Multicast PITCH Spin Server ports provides
access to a set of primary ports (A or C feed) and the fee for
Multicast PITCH GRP Ports provides access to a primary port (A or C
feed).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also believes that offering such functionality at the
Exchange level promotes robust risk management across the industry, and
thereby facilitates investor protection. Some market participants, and,
in particular, the larger firms could build similar risk functionality
on their trading systems that permit the flexible cancellation of
orders entered on the Exchange. Offering Exchange level protections
ensures that such functionality is widely available to all firms,
including smaller firms that may otherwise not be willing to incur the
costs and development work necessary to support their own customized
mass cancel functionality.
    Although the Exchange is the first exchange to develop and offer
dedicated Purge Ports for equities trading, the proposed rate is lower
than that charged by options exchanges for similar functionality,
including the fees charged by the Exchange's affiliated options
exchanges for Options Purge Ports, which are billed at a rate of $750
per month, and fees charged by unaffiliated options exchanges, such as
ISE, which charges a fee of $1,100 per month for SQF Purge Ports. The
Exchange operates in a highly competitive market in which exchanges
offer connectivity and related services as a means to facilitate the

trading activities of Members and other participants. As the proposed
Purge Ports provide voluntary risk management functionality, excessive
fees would simply serve to reduce demand for this optional product.
    The Exchange also believes that the proposed amendments to its fee
schedule are not unfairly discriminatory because they will apply
uniformly to all Members that choose to use dedicated Purge Ports. The
proposed Purge Ports are completely voluntary and, as they relate
solely to optional risk management functionality, no Member is required
or under any regulatory obligation to utilize them. The Exchange
believes that adopting separate fees for these ports ensures that the
associated costs are borne exclusively by Members that determine to use
them based on their business needs, including Market Makers or
similarly situated market participants that enter orders simultaneously
in a number of securities. All Members that voluntarily select this
service option will be charged the same amount for the same services.
All Members have the option to select any connectivity option, and
there is no differentiation among Members with regard to the fees
charged for the services offered by the Exchange.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. To the contrary, the
Exchange believes the proposed rule change will enhance competition
because it will enable the Exchange to innovate and offer similar
equities Purge Port functionality to that offered on options markets
today, at a competitive price.\17\ The proposed Purge Ports are
completely voluntary and will be made available to all Members on an
equal basis. While the Exchange believes that the proposed Purge Ports
provide a valuable service, Members can choose to purchase, or not
purchase, these ports based on their business needs. No Member is
required or under any regulatory obligation to utilize Purge Ports.
Furthermore, fees for Purge Ports, and connectivity in general, are
constrained by the robust competition for order flow among exchanges
and non-exchange markets. Members may opt to disfavor the Exchange's
pricing if they believe that alternatives offer them better value. As a
result, excessive fees for connectivity, including Purge Port fees,
would serve to impair the Exchange's ability to compete for order flow
rather than burdening competition. Accordingly, the Exchange believes
that the proposed rule change is designed to offer appropriate risk
management functionality to firms that trade on the Exchange without
imposing an unnecessary or inappropriate burden on competition.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No comments were solicited or received on the proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \18\ and
subparagraph (f)(6) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \19\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \20\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \21\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become effective and operative immediately upon filing.
The Exchange noted that its affiliated options exchanges provide Purge
Ports and that they have been successful for options. The Exchange
noted that there is a demand for Purge Ports for equities and that it
believes that the Purge Ports will provide an effective risk management
tool for Users trading equities. The Commission believes that Purge
Ports may be a helpful tool for managing the risk associated with
trading equities, and notes that this can be important both for
individual market participants and the market in general. Accordingly,
the Commission believes that permitting this feature to be operative
upon filing is consistent with the protection of investors and the
public interest. Therefore, the Commission hereby waives the 30-day
operative delay and designates the proposed rule change as operative
upon filing.\22\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \21\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \22\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0901; FRL-10005-26-OAR]

Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request;
Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source
Review (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit an information collection request (ICR), ``Prevention of
Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review'' (EPA
ICR No. 1230.33, OMB Control No. 2060-0003) to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting
public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below. This is a proposed renewal of the ICR,
which is currently approved through October 31, 2020. 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 April 14, 2020.

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

address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC The
telephone number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For
additional information about the EPA's public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, 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 document to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB
and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation
of the EPA's New Source Review (NSR) program, for the time period
between November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2023, and renews the previous
ICR. Title I, part C of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)--
``Prevention of Significant Deterioration,'' and part D--``Plan
Requirements for Nonattainment Areas,'' require all states to adopt
preconstruction review programs for new or modified stationary sources
of air pollution. In addition, the provisions of section 110 of the Act
include a requirement for states to have a preconstruction review
program to manage the emissions from the construction and modification
of any stationary source of air pollution to assure that the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards are achieved and maintained. Tribes may
choose to develop implementation plans to address these requirements.
    Implementing regulations for these three programs are promulgated
at 40 CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR 49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR
51.160 through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51, Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.24. In order to receive a construction permit for a major new source
or major modification, the applicant must conduct the necessary
research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit
application with documentation to demonstrate that their project meets
all applicable statutory and regulatory NSR requirements. Specific
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the ICR.
    State, local, tribal, or federal reviewing authorities review
permit applications and provide for public review of proposed projects
and issue permits based on their consideration of all technical factors
and public input. The EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of the
total applications and audits the state and local programs for their
effectiveness. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by
sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal,
state, and local environmental agencies to adequately review the permit
applications and thereby properly administer and manage the NSR
programs.
    Information that is collected is handled according to EPA's
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
    Form numbers: 5900-246, 5900-247, 5900-248, 5900-340, 5900-341,
5900-342, 5900-343, 5900-344, 5900-367, 5900-368, 5900-369, 5900-370,
5900-371, 5900-372, 5900-390, and 5900-391.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those which must apply for and obtain a preconstruction
permit under part C or D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the Act.
In addition, state, local, and tribal reviewing authorities that must
review permit applications and issue permits are affected entities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 49,
subpart C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part 52, subpart A; 40 CFR
part 124, subparts A and C).
    Estimated number of respondents: 73,516 (total); 73,393 industrial
facilities and 123 state, local, and tribal reviewing authorities.
    Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary.
    Total estimated burden: 5,516,675 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $455,409,456 (per year). This includes
$3,847,266 annually in outsourced start-up costs for preconstruction
monitoring.
    Changes in estimates: There is no change in the hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB because the estimated number of permits of each type has not
changed. There is a slight increase in estimated costs as labor costs
have been updated from 2016 to 2019 labor rates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes as
necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within
the National Airspace System (NAS).

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2022-1558 in the Federal Register (87 FR 76594; December 15, 2022),
amending VOR Federal airways V-169, V-170, and V-430, and RNAV route T-
331; and establishing RNAV route T-475 due to the planned
decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME
NAVAID. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal. No
comments were received.

Differences From the NPRM

    Subsequent to the NPRM, the FAA published a rule for Docket No.
FAA-2023-0501 in the Federal Register (88 FR 30896; May 15, 2023),
amending RNAV route T-331 by updating the Squaw Valley, CA, VOR/DME
route point with its new name, the Palisades, CA, VOR/DME. That
editorial amendment, effective August 10, 2023, does not affect the
route alignment or structure and is included in this rule.

Incorporation by Reference

    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) and United
States Area Navigation Routes (T-routes) are published in paragraph
6011 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual
basis. This document amends the current version of that order, FAA
Order JO 7400.11G, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15,
2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will be

published in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending VOR Federal airways
V-169, V-170, and V-430, and RNAV route T-331; and establishing RNAV
route T-475 due to the planned decommissioning of the Devils Lake, ND,
VOR. The ATS route actions are described below.
    V-169: V-169 currently extends between the Tobe, CO, VOR/DME and
the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME. The route segment between the Bismarck,
ND, VOR/DME and the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME is removed. As amended,
the airway extends between the Tobe VOR/DME and the Bismarck VOR/DME.
    V-170: V-170 currently extends between the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME
and the Sioux Falls, SD, VOR/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC); between
the Rochester, MN, VOR/DME and the Salem, MI, VORTAC; and between the
Slate Run, PA, VORTAC and the intersection of the Andrews, MD, VORTAC
060[deg] and Baltimore, MD, VORTAC 165[deg] radials (POLLA Fix). The
airspace within R-5802 is excluded when active. The airway segment
between the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME and the Jamestown, SD, VOR/DME is
removed. As amended, the airway extends between the Jamestown VOR/DME
and the Sioux Falls VORTAC; between the Rochester VOR/DME and the Salem
VORTAC, and between the Slate Run VORTAC and the POLLA Fix. The R-5802
exclusion language remains unchanged.
    V-430: V-430 currently extends between the Cut Bank, MT, VOR/DME
and the Escanaba, MI, VOR/DME. The airway segment between the Minot,
ND, VOR/DME and the Grand Forks, ND, VOR/DME is removed. As amended,
the airway extends between the Cut Bank VOR/DME and the Minot VOR/DME,
and between the Grand Forks VOR/DME and the Escanaba VOR/DME.
    T-331: T-331 currently extends between the FRAME, CA, Fix and the
FONIA, ND, Fix. The route is extended eastward from the FONIA Fix to
the MECNU, MN, Fix located near the western shore of Lake Superior and
the United States/Canada border. The T-331 extension overlies the
current V-430 airway between the FIONA Fix and the Duluth, MN, VORTAC
to provide an RNAV route alternative for the V-430 airway segment
removed as noted previously. From the Duluth VORTAC, T-331 overlies VOR
Federal airway V-13 to the MECNU Fix. The full route description is
listed in the amendments to part 71 as set forth below.
    T-475: T-475 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Bismarck,
ND, VOR/DME and the GICHI, ND, waypoint (WP) located near the Devils
Lake, ND, VOR/DME. The new route overlies the current V-169 airway and
serves as a RNAV route alternative for the V-169 airway segment removed
as noted previously. The full route description is listed in the
amendments to part 71 as set forth below.
    The NAVAID radials listed in the VOR Federal airway descriptions
below are unchanged and stated in degrees True north.

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.
It, therefore: (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of amending VOR Federal
airways V-169, V-170, and V-430, and RNAV route T-331; and establishing
RNAV route T-475 due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion
of the Devils Lake, ND, VOR/DME NAVAID, qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321
et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 1500, and in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes from further
environmental impact review rulemaking actions that designate or modify
classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and reporting points (see
14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas;
Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting Points); paragraph 5-6.5b,
which categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
actions regarding establishment of jet routes and Federal airways (see
14 CFR 71.15, Designation of jet routes and VOR Federal airways);
operation of civil aircraft in a defense area, or to, within, or out of
the United States through a designated Air Defense Identification Zone
(ADIZ) (14 CFR part 99, Security Control of Air Traffic);
authorizations for operation of moored balloons, moored kites, amateur
rockets, and unmanned free balloons (see 14 CFR part 101, Moored
Balloons, Kites, Amateur Rockets and Unmanned Free Balloons); and,
authorizations of parachute jumping and inspection of parachute
equipment (see 14 CFR part 105, Parachute Operations); paragraph 5-
6.5i, which categorically excludes from further environment impact
review the establishment of new or revised air traffic control
procedures conducted at 3,000 feet or more above ground level (AGL);
procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do not cause traffic to
be routinely routed over noise sensitive areas; modifications to
currently approved procedures conducted below 3,000 feet AGL that do
not significantly increase noise over noise sensitive areas; and
increases in minimum altitudes and landing minima. For modifications to
air traffic procedures at or above 3,000 feet AGL, the Noise Screening
Tool (NST) or other FAA-approved environmental screening methodology
should be applied; and paragraph 5-6.5k, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review the publication of existing
air traffic control procedures that do not essentially change existing
tracks, create new tracks, change altitude, or change concentration of
aircraft on these tracks. As such, this action is not expected to
result in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding
Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for
factors and circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded
action may have a significant environmental impact requiring further
analysis. The FAA has determined that no extraordinary circumstances
exist that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment or
environmental impact study.

    Title: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement Information
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0107.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0096.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2008. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in Title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR Part 9.
    Abstract: Source Compliance and State Action Reporting is an
activity whereby State, District, Local, and Commonwealth governments
make air compliance and enforcement information available to the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on a cyclic basis
via input to the Air Facility System (AFS). The information provided to
EPA includes compliance activities and determinations, and enforcement
activities. EPA uses this information to assess progress toward meeting
emission requirements developed under the authority of the Clean Air
Act (CAA or the Act) to protect and maintain the atmospheric
environment and the public health. The EPA and many of the state and
local agencies access the data in AFS to assist them in the management
of their air pollution control programs.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 131
hours per response. 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: State and Local Agencies.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 93.
    Frequency of Response: 6 times per year.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 73,073.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,504,531.00, inclusive of labor
costs, and $00.00 for both annualized capital and O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 25,110 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to: Reduction in the major
source universe, increase in the use of the Universal Interface
software program, significant differences in the level of effort
provided by different agencies in the maintenance and oversight of
data, and the reduction of startup costs from the previous ICR.
