SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a document entitled
``Guidance for FDA Reviewers and Sponsors: Content and Review of
Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Control (CMC) Information for Human Gene
Therapy Investigational New Drug Applications (INDs),'' dated April
2008. The guidance document provides to sponsors of a human gene
therapy IND recommendations on the CMC information to include in an
original IND. In addition, the guidance provides instructions to FDA
reviewers about the information to record and assess as part of the IND
review. This guidance will help sponsors and FDA reviewers to assess,
given the phase of the investigation, whether sufficient information is
provided to assure the proper identification, quality, purity, and
potency of the investigational product.
    In the Federal Register of November 9, 2004 (69 FR 64958), FDA
announced

the availability of the draft guidance of the same title. FDA received
several comments on the draft guidance and FDA considered those
comments when finalizing the guidance. In addition, we revised the
guidance to clarify its applicability for sponsors. The guidance
announced in this notice finalizes the draft guidance dated November
2004.
    The guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents FDA's
current thinking on this topic. It does not create or confer any rights
for or on any person and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An
alternative approach may be used if such approach satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
collections of information in 21 CFR 211.100, 211.160, and 211.165(e)
have been approved under OMB Control No. 0910-0139; 21 CFR 312.23(a)
and (b), 312.32(c), and Form FDA 1571 have been approved under OMB
Control No. 0910-0014; and 21 CFR part 1271 has been approved under OMB
Control No. 0910-0559.

III. Comments

    Interested persons may, at any time, submit to the Division of
Dockets Management (see ADDRESSES) written or electronic comments
regarding the guidance. Submit a single copy of electronic comments or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA has developed this guidance document to assist industry in
PMAs, HDEs, IDEs, 510(k)s, and de novo requests for medical devices
that come into direct contact or indirect contact with the human body
in order to determine the potential for an unacceptable adverse
biological response resulting from contact of the component materials
of the device with the body.
    The purpose of this guidance is to provide further clarification
and updated information on the use of International Standard ISO 10993-
1, ``Biological evaluation of medical devices--Part 1: Evaluation and
testing within a risk management process'' to support applications to
FDA. This guidance supersedes ODE Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 (1995),
entitled ``Use of International Standard ISO-10993, `Biological
Evaluation of Medical Devices--Part 1: Evaluation and Testing.' ''
    The scope of this document is limited to the biological evaluation
of sterile and non-sterile medical devices that come into direct or
indirect contact with the human body and covers the following topics:
Use of risk assessments for biocompatibility evaluations for a proposed
medical device; use of ISO 10993-1 and the FDA-modified matrix to
determine the relevant biocompatibility endpoints for an evaluation;
general biocompatibility testing considerations, including test article
preparation; specific considerations for the following testing:
Cytotoxicity, sensitization, hemocompatibility, pyrogenicity,
implantation, genotoxicity, carcinogenicity, reproductive and
developmental toxicity, and degradation assessments; chemical
assessment recommendations; and considerations for labeling devices as
``-free.''
    A draft of this guidance was made available in the Federal Register
on

April 23, 2013, and the comment period closed on July 22, 2013. The
final guidance was revised in response to the comments to emphasize use
of risk assessment and leveraging of prior information within a
submission to potentially reduce the need for new biocompatibility
testing.
    Commenters also requested additional details regarding
biocompatibility testing of devices in contact with gas pathways and
color additives used in medical devices. FDA has determined that these
concepts would be appropriately addressed in separate guidance
documents and have therefore been removed from this final guidance.

II. Significance of Guidance

    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on Use of International Standard ISO 10993-1,
``Biological evaluation of medical devices--Part 1: Evaluation and
testing within a risk management process.'' It does not establish any
rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the public. You can
use an alternative approach if it satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons interested in obtaining a copy of the guidance may do so by
downloading an electronic copy from the Internet. A search capability
for all Center for Devices and Radiological Health guidance documents
is available at http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/DeviceRegulationandGuidance/GuidanceDocuments/default.htm. Guidance

C. 346a( d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 2. to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for the 1. microbial pesticide Bacillus mycoides isolate J Pursuant to section 408( d)( 2)( A)( i) of the FFDCA, as amended, Montana Microbial Products has submitted the following summary of information, data, and arguments in support of their pesticide petition. This summary was prepared by Montana Microbial Products and EPA has not fully evaluated the merits of the pesticide petition. The summary may have been edited by EPA if the terminology used was unclear, the summary contained extraneous material, or the summary unintentionally made the reader conclude that the findings reflected EPA's position and not the position of the petitioner.

I. Montana Microbial Products Petition Summary 82761 EUP R A. Product name and Proposed Use Practices Bacillus mycoides isolate J, BmJ. Microbial Pest Control Agent for control of fungal and bacterial diseases in food crops. The proposed Experimental Use Permit will evaluate BmJ for diseases control in sugar beets. 2 B. Product Identity/ Chemistry 1. Identity of the pesticide and corresponding residues. B. Mycoides isolate J, BmJ. The " J" strain was isolated from sugar beets and identified as B. mycoides by morphology, and by DNA sequence analysis. B. mycoides is a ubiquitous soil organism. Active ingredient in BmJ is spores and the formulation is applied as a spray to foliage. Residue on foliage is spores.

2. Magnitude of residue at the time of harvest and method used to determine the residue. Studies of persistence of applied BmJ spores showed a rapid decline in spore recovery from treated sugar beet foliage over a two week period. BmJ applied at 106 spores per square centimeter of sugar beet leaf surface declined to between 100 and 1000 spores per square centimeter of leaf surface at two weeks after application. These results indicate that the level of applied BmJ spores will decline rapidly after completion of the experimental program. Given the ubiquitous occurrence of B. mycoides in soil as described in MMP document 3 ( Garbeva 2003), the application of BmJ to sugar beet foliage would have little effect on the total level of naturally occurring B. mycoides.

Analytical methods employed in this study used dilution plating on selective agar with B. mycoides distinguished by its distinctive colony morphology.

3. A statement of why an analytical method for detecting and measuring the levels of the pesticide residue are not needed. MMP would not expect any residue of BmJ applied to sugar beet foliage to carry through sugar beet processing to create a residue in refined sugar for human consumption. Given the rapid decline in recoverable spores from BmJ treated foliage, BmJ application will create minimal residues on sugar beet foliage. Cattle fed sugar beet tops treated with BmJ may have an exposure to a low level of BmJ spores or vegetative cells. Given the natural occurrence of B. mycoides, MMP does not expect that exposure to applied BmJ on sugar beet tops would represent a significant increase in natural exposure of cattle to B. mycoides. MMP would also not expect any human exposure to BmJ spores in meat or milk as a result of feeding sugar beet tops with BmJ residue to cattle.

C. Mammalian Toxicological Profile An acute pulmonary toxicity pathogenicity study showed no adverse effects from acute intratracheal exposure to BmJ spores. Inhalation of spore containing spray mist represents the most likely route of human exposure to BmJ spores during the proposed experimental program. B. mycoides is not reported as a human pathogen. Because of the ubiquitous level of B. mycoides in agricultural soils, there has been a long term human exposure to B. mycoides in crops and to any residual B. mycoides cells or spores in food crops. Comprehensive searches of research and 3 medical literature did not identify any reference to toxicity or pathogenicity of B. mycoides in humans; did not identify any known metabolites of B. mycoides fermentation of toxicological significance; and did not identify references to B. mycoides as producing toxins in food stuffs or implicated in food borne toxicity.

D. Aggregate Exposure 1. Dietary exposure.

i. Food. MMP does not expect any dietary exposure to BmJ spores applied to sugar beets. Spores applied to foliage would not be expected to carry through in processing into refined sugar and would not be expected in meat or milk from livestock fed on treated sugar beet tops.

ii. Drinking water. MMP does not foresee any dietary exposure in drinking water as a result of applying to BmJ spores to sugar beets in the proposed experimental program. The proposed experimental program will not apply BmJ within ½ mile of surface water.

2. Non dietary exposure. Non dietary exposure to BmJ as a result of the proposed experimental program will be limited to personnel involved in application and monitoring of the trial program. Personal protective equipment required for will limit nondietary exposure. The proposed experimental program will not apply BmJ near human habitation, MMP will restrict public access to test sites and does not expect any exposure of the general public to BmJ.

E. Cumulative Exposure The experimental program is for a four month period during one growing season in one year. Cumulative exposure will be limited.

F. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. Based on the toxicology profile, limited use pattern and absence of food residues, BmJ poses minimal safety risk to the US population.

2. Infants and children. Based on the toxicology profile, limited use pattern and absence of food residues, BmJ poses minimal safety risk to the US population.

G. Effects on the Immune and Endocrine Systems The pulmonary toxicity pathogenicity study conducted with BmJ did not show any adverse immune response in treated animals. B. mycoides is not reported as a human pathogen and literature searches did not identify any reports of adverse effects of B. mycoides on the immune or endocrine systems.

H. Existing Tolerances There are no existing tolerances established for B. Mycoides isolate J. 4 I. International Tolerances There are no existing international tolerances established for B. Mycoides isolate J [ FR Doc. 05????? Filed ???? 05; 8: 45 am] [ BILLING CODE 6560 50 S]

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. AD06-5-000]

Office of Energy Projects (OEP); Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Effectiveness Assessment of the Natural Gas Facility Interagency
Agreement

February 28, 2006.
    In May 2002, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission), the Bureau of Land Management, the Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, the
Department of Transportation, the Army Corps of Engineers, the National
Marine Fisheries Service, the Advisory Council on Historic
Preservation, and the Department of Energy signed an agreement entitled
``Interagency Agreement on Early Coordination of Required Environmental
and Historic Preservation Reviews Conducted in Conjunction with the
Issuance of Authorizations to Construct and Operate Interstate Natural
Gas Pipelines Certificated by the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission'' (IA).
    As a result of the IA, the signatory agencies formed a working
group to coordinate each agency's implementation of the IA (Working
Group). Among its tasks, the Working Group committed to the periodic
evaluation of the effectiveness of the IA. On behalf of the Working
Group, FERC is leading the effort to initiate this assessment. To
achieve the maximum benefit, including evaluation of the Commission's
Pre-Filing Process, a series of telephone conferences and interactive
public workshops are planned. The participants will include individuals
who have participated in the Commission's National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) process since the enactment of the IA, and will cover both
pipeline and liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects in various regions of
the United States. These include individuals from Federal, state and
local agencies, regulated natural industry, Native American tribes,
affected property owners, citizens, non-government organizations and
other stakeholders.
    Since many of the signatory federal agencies have prepared internal
guidelines to more effectively implement the IA, the assessment will
also collect feedback on each agency's implementation, to determine
whether they are effective or need revision to improve the review of
future natural gas projects.

    The FERC or its contractor will be contacting individuals to
collect specific information about experiences working with the IA and/
or agency guidance. We are looking for a broad cross-section of
responses--large and small projects; involving multiple agencies or a
single agency; and projects involving the Commission's Pre-Filing
Process. The information gathered from this assessment will be compiled
and presented to the Working Group to assist in determining whether the
IA and the signatory agencies' current internal guidelines are
furthering the intended goals. The information will also be used to
gage whether agencies are fulfilling the expeditious completion of
proceedings by issuing the necessary permits or authorizations for
natural gas projects.
    At this time, we are considering the following projects for our
assessment (note this project list may change and is not final):
     ANR Pipeline Company: West Leg Project, (CP02-434-000);
     Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation: Line 1278
Replacement Project, (CP04-34-000);
     Transwestern Pipeline Company: San Juan 2005 Expansion,
(CP04-104-000);
     Golden Pass LNG: Golden Pass LNG Project, (CP04-386-000);
     Vista del Sol LNG: Vista del Sol LNG Project, (CP04-395-
000);
     Northwest Pipeline Corporation: Northwest Capacity
Replacement Project, (CP05-32-000); and
     Entrega Gas Pipeline, LLC: Entrega Pipeline Project,
(CP04-413-000).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Airbus Model A300 series airplanes; and Model A300 B4-600, B4-
600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F
airplanes (collectively called Model A300-600 series airplanes). This
proposed AD was prompted by reports of cracks initiating at the upper
radius of frame (FR) 47 and a determination that the current inspection
procedure is not reliable in detecting certain cracking of the forward
fitting of FR 47. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections
to detect cracking of the upper radius of the forward fitting of FR 47,
and related investigative actions and corrective actions if necessary.
We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA AD
2016-0150, dated July 25, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition on all. The MCAI states:

    During scheduled maintenance inspections on the fuselage, cracks
initiating at the upper radius of frame (FR) 47 have been reported
on several aeroplanes. Similar damage was also discovered on the
A300 fatigue test fuselage.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce the
structural integrity of the fuselage.
    Prompted by these findings, Airbus issued Service Bulletin (SB)
A300-53-0246, SB A300-53-6029 and SB A300-53-9014 to provide
inspection instructions and, consequently, DGAC France issued AD F-
2006-016 to require repetitive inspections and corrective action.
    Since that [French] AD was issued, further investigation led to
the conclusion that the current ultrasonic inspection performed in
accordance with Airbus SB A300-53-0246 Revision 06, or SB A300-53-
6029 Revision 08, or SB A300-53-9014 Revision 01, as applicable, was
not reliable to detect deep crack going downward.
    Consequently, to ensure the crack depth is correctly measured
whatever the crack direction, Airbus developed a new nondestructive
testing method [eddy current] for this special detailed inspection
(SDI) and revised the affected SBs accordingly.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of DGAC France AD F-2006-016, which is superseded, but
requires the accomplishment of repetitive SDI to replace the
previously required ultrasonic inspections [and related
investigative actions and corrective actions if necessary].

    Related investigative actions include an ultrasonic inspection for
cracking on the forward face of forward fitting and a detailed
inspection for cracking of the aft fitting around the fasteners.
Corrective actions include crack repairs, modification of the sealing
fittings and sealing shims. This proposed AD requires reporting of the
inspection results to Airbus. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket
on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2017-0520.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-0246, Revision
08, including Appendix 1, dated April 13, 2016 (for Model A300 series
airplanes); and Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6029, Revision 12,
including Appendix 1, dated April 13, 2016 (for Model A300-600 series
airplanes). The service information describes procedures for doing an
SDI for cracking of the FR 47 forward fitting upper radius on the left-
hand and right-hand sides of the fuselage, and related investigative
actions and corrective actions. 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type designs.
    This NPRM would not supersede AD 2007-26-14, Amendment 39-15316 (73
FR 2803, January 16, 2008). Rather, we have determined that a stand-
alone AD would be more appropriate to address the changes in the MCAI.
This NPRM would require repetitive inspections to detect cracking of
the upper radius of the forward fitting of FR 47, and related
investigative actions and corrective actions if necessary.
Accomplishment of the proposed actions would then terminate all
requirements of AD 2007-26-14 for the inspected airplane.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    Although the MCAI and service information allow further flight if
cracks are found during accomplishment of the required action, this
proposed AD requires that any cracking be repaired before further
flight.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 132 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this proposed AD
is 2120-0056. The paperwork cost associated with this proposed AD has
been detailed in the Costs of Compliance section of this document and
includes time for reviewing instructions, as well as completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Therefore, all reporting
associated with this proposed AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the
accuracy of this burden and suggestions for reducing the burden should
be directed to the FAA at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC
20591, ATTN: Information Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We 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. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

    Title: Hazardous Waste Specific Unit Requirements, and Special
Waste Processes and Types (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1572.10, OMB Control No. 2050-0050.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on March 31, 2011.
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: This ICR provides a discussion of all of the information
collection requirements associated with specific unit standards
applicable to owners and operators of facilities that treat, store, or
dispose of hazardous wastes as defined by 40 CFR part 261. It includes
a detailed description of the data items and respondent activities
associated with each requirement and with each hazardous waste
management unit at a facility. The specific units and processes
included in this ICR are: Tank systems, Surface impoundments, Waste
piles, Land treatment, Landfills, Incinerators, Thermal treatment,
Chemical, physical, and biological treatment, Miscellaneous (subpart
X), Drip pads, Process vents, Equipment leaks, Containment buildings,
Recovery/recycling.
    With each information collection covered in this ICR, EPA is aiding
the goal of complying with its statutory mandate under RCRA to develop
standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities, to protect human health and the environment. Without the
information collection, the agency cannot assure that the facilities
are designed and operated properly.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 112
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: Facilities that treat, store, or
dispose of hazardous wastes and State, Local, or Tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,452.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,032,373.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $43,154,199, which includes
$36,316,003 annualized labor costs and $6,838,196 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 405,897 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an increase in the number
of respondents from 3,326 to 5,452, as well as a change in accounting
methods.

    Dated: March 14, 2011.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Texas; Dallas/Fort Worth 1-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Determination
of Attainment of the 1-Hour Ozone Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA has determined that the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) 1-hour
ozone nonattainment area is currently attaining the 1-hour ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This determination is
based upon certified ambient air monitoring data that show the area has
monitored attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for the 2004-2006
monitoring period. In addition, quality controlled and quality assured
ozone data for 2007 and 2008 that are available in the EPA Air Quality
System database show this area continues to attain the 1-hour ozone
NAAQS. The requirements for this area to submit an attainment
demonstration or 5% Increment of Progress (IOP) plan, a reasonable
further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, and other planning
State Implementation Plans (SIPs) related to attainment of the 1-hour
ozone NAAQS are suspended for so long as the area continues to attain
the 1-hour ozone NAAQS.

DATES: This final rule is effective on November 17, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, ``we,'' ``us,''
and ``our'' means EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section is
arranged as follows:

I. What Action Is EPA Taking?
II. What Is the Effect of This Action?
III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What Action Is EPA Taking?

    We are determining that the Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) 1-hour ozone
nonattainment area is currently attaining the 1-hour ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This determination is based upon
certified ambient air monitoring data that show the area has monitored
attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for the 2004-2006 monitoring
period. In addition, quality controlled and quality assured ozone data
for 2007 and 2008 that are available in the EPA Air Quality System
databases show this area continues to attain the 1-hour ozone NAAQS.
    The rationale for our action is explained in the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) published on July 11, 2008 (73 FR 39897) and will not
be restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.

II. What Is the Effect of This Action?

    Pursuant to our determination of attainment and in accordance with
our Clean Data Policy \1\, this determination suspends the requirements
for the DFW area to submit an attainment demonstration, a RFP plan, or
in this case a 5% IOP plan, (40 CFR 51.905(a)), section 172(c)(9) and
section 182(c)(9) contingency measures, and other SIPs related to
attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for so long as the area is
attaining the standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Our Clean Data Policy is set forth in a May 10, 1995 EPA
memorandum from John S. Seitz, Director, Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards, entitled ``Reasonable Further Progress,
Attainment Demonstration, and Related Requirements for Ozone
Nonattainment Areas Meeting the Ozone Ambient Air Quality
Standard''.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    We find that the DFW 1-hour ozone nonattainment area has attained
the 1-hour ozone standard. Thus the requirements for submitting the
attainment demonstration or 5% IOP plan, RFP plan, section 172(c)(9)
and section 182(c)(9) contingency measures, and other SIPs related to
attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS are suspended for so long as the
area is attaining the standard.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
makes a determination based on air quality data, and results in the
suspension of certain Federal requirements. Accordingly, the
Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.).
    Because this rule makes a determination based on air quality data,
and results in the suspension of certain Federal requirements, it 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). This rule also does not have tribal implications
because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also
does not have Federalism implications because it does not have
substantial direct effects 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, as
specified in

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it merely
makes a determination based on air quality data and results in the
suspension of certain Federal requirements, and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of Children from Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because
it determines that air quality in the affected area is meeting Federal
standards.
    The requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply
because it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when
determining the attainment status of an area, to use voluntary
consensus standards in place of promulgated air quality standards and
monitoring procedures that otherwise satisfy the provisions of the
Clean Air Act. This rule does not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.). Under Executive Order 12898, EPA finds that this
rule involves a determination of attainment based on air quality data
and will not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on any communities in the area, including
minority and low-income communities.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 15, 2008. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. This action to reclassify the HGB area as a severe
ozone nonattainment area and to adjust applicable deadlines may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)

requirements for this area to submit an attainment demonstration or 5%
increment of progress plan, a reasonable further progress plan,
contingency measures, and other State Implementation Plans related to
attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for so long as the area continues
to attain the 1-hour ozone NAAQS.
