Airworthiness Directives; DASSAULT AVIATION Model FALCON 900EX
and MYSTERE-FALCON 900 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects a typographical error that appeared in
airworthiness directive (AD) 2002-23-20 that was published in the
Federal Register on November 29, 2002 (67 FR 71098). The typographical
error resulted in an incorrect part number. This AD is applicable to
Model FALCON 900EX and MYSTERE-FALCON 900 airplanes. This AD requires
repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry detection system to
verify proper functioning, and repair if necessary; repetitive
replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new or reconditioned
jackscrews; and repetitive measurement of the screw/nut play of the
jackscrews on the inboard and outboard flaps to detect discrepancies,
and corrective action if necessary. This AD also requires revision of
the Airplane Flight Manual.

DATES: This correction is effective May 4, 2010. The effective date of
AD 2002-23-20 remains January 3, 2003.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: AD 2002-23-20, amendment 39-12964,
applicable to Model FALCON 900EX and MYSTERE-FALCON 900 airplanes, was
published in the Federal Register on November 29, 2002 (67 FR 71098).
That AD requires repetitive operational tests of the flap asymmetry
detection system to verify proper functioning, and repair if necessary;
repetitive replacement of the inboard flap jackscrews with new or
reconditioned jackscrews; and repetitive measurement of the screw/nut
play of the jackscrews on the inboard and outboard flaps to detect
discrepancies, and corrective action if necessary. That AD also
requires revision of the Airplane Flight Manual.
    As published, paragraph (e)(1) of the AD specifies in error
jackscrew part number 5818-1 Amdt A. P/N 5818-1 Amdt A. does not exist.
The correct part number is 5318-1 Amdt A.
    Since no other part of the regulatory information has been changed,
the final rule is not being republished in the Federal Register.
    The effective date of this AD remains January 3, 2003.

     FERC-538, Gas Pipeline Certificate: Section 7(a) Mandatory
Initial Service, contained in 18 CFR Part 156; OMB Control No. 1902-
0061;
     FERC-539, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Import/Export
Related, contained in 18 CFR Parts 153 and 157; OMB Control No. 1902-

conditions of 18 CFR 157.206(b); OMB Control No. 1902-0128;
     FERC-606, Notification of Request for Federal
Authorization and Requests for Further Information, contained in 18 CFR
Part 385; OMB Control No. 1902-0241; and
     FERC-607, Report on Decision or Action on Request for
Federal Authorization, contained in 18 CFR Part 385; OMB Control No.
1902-0240.
    The associated regulations, information collections, burdens, and
OMB clearance numbers will continue to remain separate and distinct.
    FERC-538. Under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (Public Law 75-688) (15
U.S.C. 717-717w), upon application by a local distribution company or
municipality, a natural gas pipeline company may be ordered by the
Commission to extend or improve transportation facilities, to establish
physical connections to serve, and to sell natural gas to the
applicant. Filings pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(a) of the
NGA are to contain all information necessary to advise the Commission
fully concerning the service which the applicant has requested the
Commission to direct the natural gas pipeline company to render (such
as a request to direct a natural gas company to extend or improve its
transportation facilities, and to sell natural gas to the municipality
or person and, for such purpose, to extend its transportation
facilities to communities immediately adjacent to such facilities or to
territories served by the natural gas pipeline company).
    FERC-539. Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) (Public Law 75-
688) (15 U.S.C. 717-717w) provides, in part, that ``* * * no person
shall export any natural gas from the United States to a foreign
country or import any natural gas from a foreign country without first
having secured an order from the Commission authorizing it to do so.''
The 1992 amendments to Section 3 of the NGA concern importation or
exportation from/to a nation which has a free trade agreement with the
United States, and requires that such importation or exportation: (1)
Shall be deemed to be a ``first sale'', i.e., not a sale for a resale,
and (2) Shall be deemed to be consistent with the public interest, and
applications for such importation or exportation shall be granted
without modification or delay.
    With the ratification of the North American Free Trade Agreement
and the Canadian Free Trade Agreement, the Federal regulatory focus on
construction, operation, and siting of import and export facilities
increased significantly.
    FERC-577. Section 102(2)(c) of the of the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (Pub. L. 91-190) requires that all Federal
agencies must include in every recommendation or report on proposals
for legislation and other major federal actions significantly affecting
the quality of the human environment, a detailed statement on: the
environmental impact on the proposed actions; any adverse environmental
effects which cannot be avoided should the proposal be implemented;
alternatives to the proposed action; the relationship between local
short-term uses of man's environment and the maintenance and
enhancement of long-term productivity; and any irreversible and
irretrievable commitment of resources which would be involved in the
proposed action should it be implemented.
    FERC-606 and FERC-607. Section 313 of EPAct 2005 directs the
Commission: (1) To establish a schedule for state and federal agencies
and officers to act on

requests for federal authorizations required for NGA section 3 and 7
gas projects, and (2) to maintain a complete consolidated record of all
decisions or actions by the Commission and other agencies and officers
with respect to federal authorizations.
    FERC-606 requires agencies and officials responsible for issuing,
conditioning, or denying requests for federal authorizations necessary
for a proposed natural gas project to report to FERC regarding the
status of an authorization request. This reporting requirement is
intended to allow agencies to assist the FERC to make better informed
determinations in establishing due dates for agencies' decisions.
    FERC-607 requires agencies or officials to submit to FERC a copy of
a decision or action on a request for federal authorization and an
accompanying index to the documents and materials relied on in reaching
a conclusion.
    If the collections of data for FERC-538, FERC-539, FERC-577, FERC-
606, and FERC-607 in general were not conducted, the Commission would
not be able to meet its statutory responsibilities, would not be able
to authorize and monitor certain energy projects to ensure that the
construction of natural gas pipeline projects and LNG terminals are
economically viable, and at the same time, protect the environment.
    Action: The Commission is requesting three-year extensions of the
current expiration dates for the FERC-538, FERC-539, FERC-577, FERC-
606, and FERC-607, with no change to the reporting requirements.
    Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burdens and
the associated public costs follow.

\1\ These figures may not be exact, due to rounding and/or truncating.
\2\ Using 2,080 hours/year, the estimated cost for 1 full-time employee is $137,874/year. The estimated hourly
  cost is $66.29 (or $137,874/2,080).

    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the Commission, including whether the information will have
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the
burden of the proposed collections of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance
the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the collections of information
on those who are to respond, including 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.

Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1305]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105,

and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42
U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR Part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OLEM-2018-0691; FRL-9985-80-OLEM]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Proposed Collection;
Comment Request; Standardized Permit for RCRA Hazardous Waste
Management Facilities (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to
submit the information collection request (ICR), Standardized Permit
for RCRA Hazardous Waste Management Facilities (EPA ICR No. 1935.05,
OMB Control No. 2050-0182) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, the EPA is soliciting
public comments on specific aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below. This is a proposed extension of the ICR,
which is currently approved through March 31, 2019. An Agency may not
conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a
collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before December 28, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OLEM-2018-0691, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA Docket
Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jeff Gaines, Office of Resource
Conservation and Recovery, (5303P), Environmental Protection Agency,
1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone number: 703-
308-8655; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address: [email protected].

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,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://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 notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010
of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA
revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a
``standardized permit.'' The standardized permit is available to
facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste
on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment
buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to
facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a
generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then
store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks,
or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two
components: A uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a
supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency includes
at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and
conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is
established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her
discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case
basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and
conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute
corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or
otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners
and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the
supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are business or other for-profit.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275).
    Estimated number of respondents: 86.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 13,948 hours. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,242,205 (per year), includes $662,478 in
annualized labor and $579,727 in annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: The burden hours are likely to stay
substantially the same.

[EPA-R06-OAR-2007-0659; FRL-8727-2]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Louisiana; Approval of Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plans for the 1997
8-Hour Ozone Standard for the Parishes of Calcasieu and St. James

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Louisiana State
Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning maintenance plans addressing the
1997 8-hour ozone standard for the parishes of Calcasieu and St. James.
On July 20, 2007, and August 24, 2007, the State of Louisiana submitted
separate SIP revisions containing maintenance plans for the 1997 ozone
standard for Calcasieu and St. James Parishes, respectively. These
plans ensure the continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) through the year 2014. On March
12, 2008, EPA issued a revised ozone standard. Today's action, however,
is being taken to address requirements under the 1997 ozone standard.
Requirements for these areas under the 2008 standard will be addressed
in future actions. These maintenance plans meet the statutory and
regulatory requirements, and are consistent with EPA's guidance. EPA is
approving the revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Federal Clean
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on December 8, 2008 without further
notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comment by November 10,
2008. If EPA receives such comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule
will not take effect.

Outline

III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    Under section 107 of the 1977 CAA, Louisiana's Calcasieu and St.
James Parishes were designated as nonattainment areas because they did
not meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for 1-hour
ozone (40 CFR 81.319). Under the 1990 CAA Amendments, the Calcasieu and
St. James Parish nonattainment areas continued to be designated
nonattainment for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS by operation of law since
Louisiana had not yet collected the required three years of data
necessary to petition for redesignation to attainment.
    In two separate submittals in the mid-1990's, Louisiana submitted
requests to redesignate Calcasieu Parish and St. James Parish to
attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard. As part of each submittal,
the State provided the required ozone monitoring data and maintenance
plan for each parish (each area includes only the one Parish) to ensure
the areas would remain in attainment for 1-hour ozone for a period of
10 years. EPA approved Louisiana's requests to redesignate these
Parishes to attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard and approved the
maintenance plan on May 2, 1997 (62 FR 24036), with an effective date
of June 2, 1997.
    On April 30, 2004, EPA designated and classified areas for the 1997
8-hour ozone NAAQS (69 FR 23858), and published the final Phase 1 rule
for implementation of the 1997 ozone NAAQS (69 FR 23951). Calcasieu and
St. James Parishes were designated as unclassifiable/attainment for the
1997 ozone standard, effective June 15, 2004. Consequently, both of
these attainment areas were required to submit a 10-year maintenance
plan under section 110(a)(1) of the CAA and the Phase 1 rule. On May
20, 2005, EPA issued guidance providing information regarding how a
state might fulfill the maintenance plan obligation established by the
Act and the Phase 1 rule (Memorandum from Lydia N. Wegman to Air
Division Directors, Maintenance Plan Guidance Document for Certain 8-
hour Ozone Areas Under Section 110(a)(1) of Clean Air Act, May 20,
2005). This SIP revision satisfies the section 110(a)(1) CAA
requirements for a plan that provides for implementation, maintenance,
and enforcement of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the Calcasieu and St.
James Parish unclassifiable/attainment areas.
    On December 22, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion that vacated EPA's Phase
1 Implementation Rule for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone Standard. (South Coast
Air Quality Management District. v. EPA, 472 F.3d 882 (D.C. Cir. 2006).
Petitions for rehearing were filed with the Court, and on June 8, 2007,
the Court modified the scope of the vacatur of the Phase 1 rule. See
489 F.3d 1245 (D.C. Cir. 2007), cert. denied, 128 S.Ct. 1065 (2008).
The Court vacated those portions of the Rule that provide for
regulation of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas under
Subpart 1 in lieu of Subpart 2 and that allow backsliding with respect
to new source review, penalties, milestones, contingency plans, and
motor vehicle emission budgets. Consequently, the Court's modified
ruling does not alter any requirements under the Phase 1 implementation
rule for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for maintenance plans.

II. Analysis of the State's Submittals

    On July 20, 2007, and August 24, 2007, the State of Louisiana
submitted separate SIP revisions containing maintenance plans for the
1997 ozone NAAQS for Calcasieu and St. James Parishes. These July and
August revisions provide 1997 ozone NAAQS maintenance plans for the two
parishes named above, as required by section 110(a)(1) of the CAA and
the provisions of EPA's Phase 1 Implementation Rule (see 40 CFR
51.905(a)(4)). The purpose of these plans is to ensure continued
attainment and maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS in Calcasieu and St.
James Parishes.
    In this action, EPA is approving the State's maintenance plans for
the 1997 ozone NAAQS for the areas of Calcasieu and St. James Parishes
because EPA finds that the LDEQ submittal meets the requirements of
section 110(a)(1) of the CAA, EPA's rule, and is consistent with EPA's
guidance. As required, these plans provide for continued attainment and
maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS in the area for 10 years from the
effective date of the area's designation as unclassifiable/attainment
for the 1997 ozone NAAQS, and include components illustrating how each
Parish will continue in attainment of the 1997 ozone NAAQS and
contingency measures. Each of the section 110(a)(1) plan components is
discussed below.
    (a) Attainment Inventory. The LDEQ developed comprehensive
inventories of VOC and NOX emissions from area, stationary,
and mobile sources using 2002 as the base year to demonstrate
maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS for Calcasieu and St. James
Parishes. The year 2002 is an appropriate year for the LDEQ to base
attainment level emissions because States may select any one of the
three years on which the 8-hour attainment designation for the 1997
ozone NAAQS was based (2001, 2002, and 2003). The State's submittals
contain the detailed inventory data and summaries by source category.
The 2002 base year inventory is a good choice. Using the 2002 inventory
as a base year reflects one of the years used for calculating the air
quality design values on which the 8-hour ozone designation decisions
were based. It also is one of the years in the 2002-2004 period used to
establish baseline visibility levels for the regional haze program.
    A practical reason for selecting 2002 as the base year emission
inventory is that Section 110(a)(2)(B) of the CAA and the Consolidated
Emissions Reporting Rule (67 FR 39602, June 10, 2002)

require States to submit emissions inventories for all criteria
pollutants and their precursors every three years, on a schedule that
includes the emissions year 2002. The due date for the 2002 emissions
inventory is established in the rule as June 2004. In accordance with
these requirements, the State of Louisiana compiles a statewide EI for
point sources on an annual basis. For stationary point sources, for
Calcasieu and St. James Parishes, the LDEQ provided estimates for each
commercial or industrial operation that emits 100 tons or more per year
of VOC or NOX in Appendix A of each maintenance plan.
Stationary non-point source data was provided by E.H. Pechan &
Associates, Inc., through the Central Regional Air Planning Association
(CENRAP) using the methodology in ``Consolidation of Emissions
Inventories'', section C, page 26. On-road mobile emissions of VOC and
NOX were estimated using EPA's MOBILE6.2 motor vehicle
emissions factor computer model. Non-road mobile emissions data were
derived from the ``Emission Inventory Development For Mobile Sources
and Agricultural Dust Sources for the Central States'' produced by
Sonoma Technology, Inc. for CENRAP in October 2004 using EPA's NONROAD
2004 non-road mobile emissions computer model. EPA finds that the LDEQ
prepared the 2002 base year emissions inventories for the two Parishes
consistent with EPA's long-established guidance memoranda.
    In projecting data for the attainment year 2014 inventory, LDEQ
used several methods to project data from the base year 2002 to the
years 2008, 2011, and 2014. These projected inventories were developed
using EPA-approved technologies and methodologies. Point source and
non-point source projections were derived from the Emissions Growth
Analysis System version 4.0 (EGAS 4.0). Non-road mobile projections
were derived from EGAS 4.0, as well as from the National Mobile
Inventory Model.
    The following tables provide VOC and NOX emissions data
for the 2002 base attainment year inventory, as well as projected VOC
and NOX emission inventory data for the years 2008, 2011,
and 2014. Please see the Technical Support Document (TSD) for
additional emissions inventory data including projections by source
category for each parish.

Total VOC...................................................        49.59        48.40        48.56        48.93
Total NOX...................................................       133.35       133.18       135.99       138.94
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As shown in the Table, total VOC and total NOX emissions
for Calcasieu Parish are projected to decrease slightly, and increase
slightly, respectively, over the 10-year period of the maintenance
plan. While emission projections for VOC indicate a downward trend
through 2014, NOX emission projections through 2014 show an
increase of 5.59 tons per day, or approximately 4 percent (from 133.35
to 138.94 tpd). This projected increase is relatively small considering
that it occurs over a period of approximately twelve (as from the 2002
baseline) years. The slightly upward trend in NOX emissions
results from projected increases in emissions for the point and non-
point source categories. The EGAS system for projecting emissions tends
to overstate future emissions since the system relies principally on
economic growth for the projections. Specifically, the projected future
emissions from NOX point sources is overstated because the
projections do not include reductions from regulatory or permit
controls, or account for reductions from consent decrees. The control
measures contained in rules for point and non-point stationary sources,
which were not included in the EGAS program, which was used to project
emissions for Calcasieu Parish, are expected to fully offset the slight
increase in NOX in Calcasieu Parish which was projected
without the controls. Emissions of NOX from non-road mobile
and on-road mobile sources are projected to decrease.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total VOC...................................................         7.81         7.90         8.09         8.28
Total NOX...................................................        38.83        40.74        42.02        42.98
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As shown in the table above, total VOC and total NOX
emissions for St. James Parish are both projected to increase slightly
over the 10-year period of the maintenance plan. Emission projections
for VOC indicate an increase of 0.47 tons through 2014, which is an
increase of approximately 6 percent (from 7.81 to 8.28 tpd). The
slightly upward trend in VOC emissions results primarily from the point
source category, although there is also projected to be a very small
increase from the nonpoint source category. VOC emissions from nonroad
mobile and onroad mobile sources are projected to decrease. For
NOX, emission projections through 2014 show an increase of
4.15 tons per day, or approximately 10 percent (from 38.83 to 42.98
tpd). These projected increases are relatively small considering that
they occur over a period of approximately twelve (as from the 2002
baseline) years. The slightly upward trend in NOX emissions
results from projected increases in emissions for the point and non-
road mobile source categories. One will note that the absolute number
of tons per day for both VOC and NOX is very small, making
any change (either an increase or a decrease) appear more pronounced
when it is calculated as a percentage. In absolute terms, these are de
minimis increases. Additionally, Louisiana's projections for the total
NOX emissions in 2014 did not

take into account regulatory controls which will reduce actual VOC and
NOX emissions from point and stationary non-point (area)
sources, as well as non-road mobile sources. National rules which were
not included in the growth estimates include EPA's rules for VOC
emission standards for Consumer and Commercial Products and EPA's
Locomotive and Marine Compression-Ignition Engines rule. Also, a
consent decree which includes a large refinery in the area that was not
accounted for in the projections is expected to further reduce actual
VOC and NOX emissions.
    EPA is aware that a company has applied for a permit with the LDEQ
to construct a large facility in St. James. We do not want to prejudge
whether the permit will be issued, but the proposed emissions in the
company's permit application for this facility: (1) Are large relative
to this rural area's emissions (as noted above, the absolute number of
tons per day for both VOC and NOX is very small in this
area), (2) ordinarily would not be accounted for using the EPA's
methodologies for growth estimates in a maintenance plan, and (3) could
potentially impact the Baton Rouge ozone nonattainment area. The
company, however, will have to satisfy the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) SIP permitting requirements by demonstrating that
this facility will not interfere with maintenance in St. James and will
not contribute to nonattainment in the Baton Rouge area. With this
safeguard, we believe continued maintenance in the St. James Parish
will be protected.
    Please see the TSD for more information on EPA's analysis and
review of the State's methodologies, modeling data and performance,
etc. for developing the base and attainment year inventories for the
two areas. As shown in the tables and discussion above, the State has
demonstrated that the future year ozone precursor emissions will be
less than or similar to the 2002 base attainment year's emissions. The
attainment inventories submitted by the LDEQ for these areas are
consistent with the criteria as discussed in the EPA Maintenance Plan
Guidance memo dated May 20, 2005 and in other guidance documents
(please see the docket for additional information). Considering
emissions projections together with reductions from measures not
accounted for in the state's projections, EPA finds that the future
emissions levels in 2008, 2011 and 2014 are expected to be less than or
similar to emissions levels in 2002.
    (b) Maintenance Demonstration. The primary purpose of a maintenance
plan is to demonstrate how an area will continue to remain in
compliance with the 1997 ozone standard for the 10-year period
following the effective date of designation as unclassifiable/
attainment. The end projection year is 10 years from the effective date
of the attainment designation for the 1997 ozone NAAQS, which for
Calcasieu and St. James Parishes was June 15, 2004. Therefore, these
plans must demonstrate attainment through 2014. As discussed in section
(a) Attainment Inventory above, Louisiana has identified the level of
ozone-forming emissions in Calcasieu and St. James Parishes that were
consistent with attainment of the NAAQS for ozone in 2002. Louisiana
has projected VOC and NOX emissions for the years 2008,
2011, and 2014 in Calcasieu and St. James Parishes and EPA finds that
the future emissions levels in those years are expected to be similar
to or below the emissions levels in 2002. Please see the TSD for more
information on EPA's review and evaluation of the State's 2008, 2011,
and 2014 projected emissions inventories.
    Louisiana relies on several air quality measures that will provide
for additional 8-hour ozone emissions reductions in Calcasieu and St.
James Parishes. These measures include the following, among others: (1)
Implementation of EPA's National Rules for VOC Emission Standards: For
Automobile Refinish Coatings (63 FR 48806), for Consumer Products (63
FR 48819), and Architectural Coatings (63 FR 48848), for Consumer and
Commercial Products Group II (Flexible Packaging Printing Materials,
Lithographic Printing Materials, Letterpress Printing Materials) (71 FR
58745), for Consumer and Commercial Products Group III (Paper, Film,
and Foil Coatings, Metal Furniture Coatings, and Large Appliance
Coatings) (72 FR 57215), and for Consumer and Commercial Products Group
IV (to be published in the fall of 2008); (2) enacting of specific
requirements from EPA's Tier 2 Motor Vehicle Emission Standards (65 FR
6697), EPA's Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Standards and Highway Diesel
Fuel Sulfur Control Requirements (66 FR 5001), as well as EPA's Tier 2
Motor Vehicle Emissions Standards and Gasoline Sulfur Control
requirements (65 FR 6697); (3) EPA's required control of emissions from
Non-road Diesel Engines and Fuels (69 FR 38958); and (4) EPA's
Locomotive and Marine Compression-Ignition Engines rule (73 FR 16435).
The purpose of these control measures is to reduce levels of 8-hour
ozone, including the areas of Calcasieu and St. James Parishes.
    (c) Ambient Air Quality Monitoring. The State of Louisiana has
committed in its maintenance plans for Calcasieu and St. James Parishes
to provide operation of an appropriate ozone monitoring network and to
work with EPA in compliance with 40 CFR part 58 with regard to the
continued adequacy of such a network.
    The Convent monitoring site in St. James Parish has monitored
attainment with the 1997 ozone standard from 2002 through 2007. The
1997 ozone NAAQS is 0.08 parts per million based on the three-year
average of the fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone
concentration measured at each monitor within an area. The 1997 ozone
standard is considered to be attained at 84 parts per billion (ppb). At
the time the maintenance plan was submitted by LDEQ, the three most
recent 8-hour ozone design values for the Convent site in St. James
Parish are 73 ppb for 2003, 73 ppb for 2004, and 76 ppb for 2005. Also,
the design value for St. James Parish for 2006 is 76 ppb, and the
design value for 2007 is 77 ppb.
    In Calcasieu Parish there are three monitoring sites, each of which
has monitored attainment with the 1997 ozone standard from 2002 through
2005. At the time the maintenance plan was submitted by LDEQ, the three
most recent 8-hour ozone design values for Calcasieu Parish are 78 ppb
for 2003, 80 ppb for 2004, and 83 ppb for 2005. Also, the design value
for Calcasieu Parish for 2006 is 82 ppb, and the design value for 2007
is 81 ppb.
    (d) Contingency Plan. The section 110(a)(1) maintenance plans
include contingency provisions to correct promptly any violation of the
1997 ozone NAAQS that occurs. The contingency indicator for the
Calcasieu and St. James Parish maintenance plans is based upon
monitoring data. The triggering mechanism for activation of contingency
measures is a monitoring violation of the 1997 ozone standard. In these
maintenance plans, if contingency measures are triggered, LDEQ is
committing to implement the measures as expeditiously as practicable,
but no longer than 24 months following the trigger.
    The following contingency measures are identified for
implementation: (1) Lowering VOC RACT applicability thresholds for
Stage 1 gasoline controls, (2) NOX controls on major sources
(100 tpy and greater), (3) Emission offsets for permits (1.10 ratio for
VOC and NOX), and (4) Other measures deemed appropriate at
the time as a result of advances in control technologies. These
contingency measures and schedules for implementation satisfy EPA's
long-standing guidance on the requirements of section 110(a)(1) of
continued

attainment. Continued attainment of the 1997 ozone NAAQS in the areas
of Calcasieu and St. James Parishes will depend, in part, on the air
quality measures discussed previously (see II.(b) above). In addition,
Louisiana commits to verify the 8-hour ozone status in each maintenance
plan through appropriate ambient air quality monitoring, and to quality
assure air quality monitoring data according to federal requirements.

III. Final Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the Act, EPA is approving the 1997 8-
hour ozone maintenance plans for Calcasieu and St. James Parishes,
which were submitted by LDEQ on July 20, 2007 and August 24, 2007,
respectively, which ensure continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS through the year 2014. We have evaluated the State's
submittals and have determined that they meet the applicable
requirements of the Clean Air Act and EPA regulations, and is
consistent with EPA policy.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we view
this as a non-controversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if relevant adverse
comments are received. This rule will be effective on December 8, 2008
without further notice unless we receive adverse comment by November
10, 2008. If we receive adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect. We will address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute
a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so now. Please note that if we receive adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, we may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    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 8, 2008. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

3. Section 52.975, entitled, ``Redesignations and maintenance plans;
ozone'', is amended by adding a new paragraph (j) as follows:

Sec.  52.975  Redesignations and maintenance plans; ozone.

* * * * *
    (j) Approval. The Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality
(LDEQ) submitted 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS maintenance plans for the
areas of Calcasieu and St. James Parishes on July 20, 2007, and August
24, 2007, respectively. The two areas are designated unclassifiable/
attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. EPA determined these
requests for Calcasieu and St. James Parishes were complete on October
5, 2007, and October 16, 2007, respectively. The maintenance plans meet
the requirements of section 110(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, and are
consistent with EPA's maintenance plan guidance document dated May 20,
2005. The EPA therefore approved the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS
maintenance plans for the areas of Calcasieu and St. James Parishes on
October 9, 2008.
