  From: Ben Stavis<EMAIL_ADDRESS> To: Michael Samulski/AA/USEPA/US@EPA  Date: 11/08/2010 08:19 PM  Subject: Re: Comment to Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0270

Dear Mr. Samulski,

Thank you for calling me today and helping me understand the many issues involved in fuel tanks and containers.

You are correct that my views relate only to small portable gasoline cans that have spouts that are used to pour fuel into the small integral tanks of small gasoline engines, such as small outboard motors, lawn mowers, etc.

My comments do not refer to portable marine fuel tanks that transfer fuel to engines by way of plug-in hoses.  I do not use such equipment and have no special insights about them.

I apologize that I did not understand the important distinction between a "portable gas can" (with a spout) and a "portable marine fuel tank" (with a hose).

So you are correct that my comments are outside the scope of your discussions concerning rules for portable marine fuel tanks.

I have redirected my comments to Lamar Mitchell, who is associated with the California Air Resources Board, which I think is the regulatory agency that is impacting the manufacture of the small gasoline cans.

Most Sincerely,

Ben Stavis

It was good to speak with you today regarding your comments to Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0270.  I very much appreciate the time you took to so clearly share your thoughts.

It is my understanding that the concerns expressed in your letter are related to fill spouts and other aspects of new portable gas can designs.  These portable gas cans are used to transfer fuel and to refuel gas tanks on marine engines, boats, and other equipment.

As we discussed today, while this is an important issue, portable gas cans are outside the scope of the recent Direct Final Rule regarding portable marine fuel tanks.  Although there are some similarities in these products, the type of fuel tanks specifically addressed in the Direct Final Rule do not have fill spouts and are designed to be connected with a hose directly to an outboard marine engine.

I am sending this email simply to clarify that your comments are outside the scope of the Direct Final Rule for portable marine fuel tanks and were not intended to be adverse comments on the portable marine fuel tanks rule.

Thank you,

Mike

[Docket No. FMCSA-2008-0355; FMCSA-2014-0381; FMCSA-2014-0382]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew exemptions for five
individuals from the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions
enable these individuals who have had one or more seizures and are
taking anti-seizure medication to continue to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.

DATES: The renewed exemptions were applicable on July 12, 2017. The
renewed exemptions will expire on July 12, 2019. Comments must be
received on or before September 21, 2017.

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for two years if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the Agency to
renew exemptions at the end of the two-year period.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person:

    Has no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause the loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.

    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria to assist Medical Examiners in determining whether drivers
with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce. [49 CFR part 391, APPENDIX A TO PART 391--MEDICAL
ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8), paragraphs
3, 4, and 5.]
    The five individuals listed in this notice have requested renewal
of their exemptions from the Epilepsy and Seizure Disorders prohibition
in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8), in accordance with FMCSA procedures.
Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated these applications for renewal on
their merits and decided to extend each exemption for a renewable two-
year period.

II. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each of
the five applicants has satisfied the conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the Epilepsy and Seizure Disorder requirements and were
published in the Federal Register 78 FR 41979, 80 FR 55164, 80 FR
57034. In addition, for Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders, the
Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS) and the Motor
Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) are searched for crash
and violation data. For non-CDL holders, the Agency reviews the driving
records from the State Driver's Licensing Agency (SDLA). These factors
provide an adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to
continue to safely operate a CMV in interstate commerce.
    The five drivers in this notice remain in good standing with the
Agency, have maintained their medical monitoring and have not exhibited
any medical issues that would compromise their ability to safely
operate a CMV during the previous two-year exemption period. FMCSA has
concluded that renewing the exemptions for each of these applicants is
likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption. Therefore, FMCSA has decided to renew each exemption for a
two-year period for the following applicants:

Prince Austin, Jr. (OH)
Frank Cekovic (PA)
Martin L. Ford (MS)
Roger Green (PA)
Michael R. Weymouth (NH)

IV. Conditions and Requirements

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) Each driver must remain seizure-free and maintain a stable
treatment during the two-year exemption period; (2) each driver must
submit annual reports from their treating physicians attesting to the
stability of treatment and that the driver has remained seizure-free;
(3) each driver must undergo an annual medical examination by a
certified Medical Examiner, as defined by 49 CFR 390.5; and (4) each
driver must provide a copy of the annual medical certification to the
employer for retention in the driver's qualification file, or keep a
copy of his/her driver's qualification file if he/she is self-employed.
The driver must also have a copy of the exemption when driving, for
presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement
official. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The person fails to
comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315.

V. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VI. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the five exemption applications, FMCSA
renews the exemptions of the aforementioned drivers from the Epilepsy
and Seizure Disorders requirement in 49 CFR 391.41 (b)(8). In
accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each exemption will be
valid for two years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.

resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. See 5
CFR 1320 for additional information on the definition of information
collection burden.
    \2\ The Commission staff estimates that industry is similarly
situated in terms of hourly cost (for wages plus benefits). Based on
the Commission's FY (Fiscal Year) 2022 average cost (for wages plus
benefits), $91.00/hour is used.
    \3\ Requirements are found in 18 CFR parts 2, 157, and 380.
    \4\ Requirements are found in 18 CFR 157(d), 157(f), 2.55(a),
2.55(b), 284.11, and 380.15.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 64

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0005; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-8641]

Suspension of Community Eligibility

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule identifies communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under the National Flood Insurance
Program (NFIP) that are scheduled for suspension on the effective dates
listed within this rule because of noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this rule, the suspension will not
occur and a notice of this will be provided by publication in the
Federal Register on a subsequent date. Also, information identifying
the current participation status of a community can be obtained from
FEMA's Community Status Book (CSB). The CSB is available at https://www.fema.gov/national-flood-insurance-program-community-status-book.

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective date of each community's
scheduled suspension is the third date (``Susp.'') listed in the third
column of the following tables.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended on the suspension date or for
further information, contact Adrienne L. Sheldon, PE, CFM, Federal
Insurance and Mitigation Administration, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities agree to adopt and administer
local floodplain management measures aimed at protecting lives and new
construction from future flooding. Section 1315 of the National Flood
Insurance Act of 1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits the sale
of NFIP flood insurance unless an appropriate public body adopts
adequate floodplain management measures with effective enforcement
measures. The communities listed in this document no longer meet that
statutory requirement for compliance with program regulations, 44 CFR
part 59. Accordingly, the communities will be suspended on the
effective date in the third column. As of that date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the community. We recognize that some of
these communities may adopt and submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue to be eligible for the sale of
NFIP flood insurance. A notice withdrawing the suspension of such
communities will be published in the Federal Register.
    In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been published, is indicated in the
fourth column of the table. No direct Federal financial assistance
(except assistance pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act not in connection with a flood) may be
provided for construction or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not participating in the NFIP and identified for
more than a year on FEMA's initial FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the Flood Disaster Protection Act
of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This prohibition against
certain types of Federal assistance becomes effective for the
communities listed on the date shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and unnecessary because communities
listed in this final rule have been adequately notified.
    Each community receives 6-month, 90-day, and 30-day notification
letters addressed to the Chief Executive Officer stating that the
community will be suspended unless the required floodplain management
measures are met prior to the effective suspension date. Since these
notifications were

made, this final rule may take effect within less than 30 days.
    National Environmental Policy Act. FEMA has determined that the
community suspension(s) included in this rule is a non-discretionary
action and therefore the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) does not apply.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. The Administrator has determined that
this rule is exempt from the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act because the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended,
Section 1315, 42 U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance coverage unless
an appropriate public body adopts adequate floodplain management
measures with effective enforcement measures. The communities listed no
longer comply with the statutory requirements, and after the effective
date, flood insurance will no longer be available in the communities
unless remedial action takes place.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This rule involves no policies
that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This rule meets the
applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.
    Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule does not involve any collection
of information for purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Emergency Canadian Airworthiness
Directive CF-2013-11, dated April 17, 2013 (referred to after this as
the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''),
to correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    While performing modifications on a CL-215-1A10 aeroplane, an
operator discovered that the wing lower rear spar cap and
reinforcing strap were fractured at Wing Stations (WS) 49.5 and 50
respectively and the rear spar web and wing lower skin were also
cracked. It is suspected that a crack initiated at the wing lower
spar cap, leading to its failure, the subsequent failure of the
reinforcing strap and cracking of the spar web and wing lower skin.
The damage was outside of the area addressed by the repetitive
ultrasonic inspections required by AD CF-1992-26R2 [which
corresponds to FAA AD 2012-11-04, Amendment 39-17067 (77 FR 32892,
June 4, 2012)] and was found 95 hours air time after the last
ultrasonic inspection.
    Failure and cracking of the above-noted wing structure, if not
detected, could result in failure of the wing. In order to mitigate
the unsafe condition, this [Canadian] AD mandates a repetitive
[detailed] visual inspection [for cracking] of the wing lower skin
until an eddy current inspection [for cracking] of the [LH and RH
wing lower front and rear] spar cap[s] is performed or a [detailed]
visual inspection [for cracking] of the wing structures [i.e., the
LH and RH wing lower skin, front and rear spar caps, front and rear
spar webs, and reinforcing straps] is performed by removing the fuel
bladder[, and repair if any cracking is found during any
inspection]. Transport Canada may mandate additional corrective
actions pending the outcome of the failure investigation and fleet
findings. The requirements of AD CF-1992-26R2 remain applicable.

The terminating action is doing either a detailed inspection for
cracking of the LH and RH wing lower skin, front and rear spar caps,
front and rear spar webs,

and reinforcing straps or an optional eddy-current inspection for
cracking of the LH and RH wing lower front and rear spar caps and
repair if necessary. You may obtain further information by examining
the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued Alert Service Bulletin 215-A558, dated
April 5, 2013. The actions described in this service information are
intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This 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 issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Differences Between the AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    The service information specifies to contact the manufacturer for
instructions on how to repair certain conditions, but this AD requires
repairing those conditions using a method approved by the FAA or TCCA
(or its delegated agent).

Interim Action

    We considered this AD interim action. The inspection reports that
are required by this AD will enable us to obtain better insight into
the nature, cause, and extent of the cracking, and eventually to
develop final action to address the unsafe condition. Once final action
has been identified, we might consider further rulemaking.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because an
operator discovered that the wing lower rear spar cap and reinforcing
strap were fractured at WS 49.5 and 50 respectively, and that the rear
spar web and wing lower skin were also cracked. Failure and cracking of
the wing structure, if not detected, could result in failure of the
wing. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public
comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause
exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0426; Directorate
Identifier 2013-NM-084-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 5 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take up to 20 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this AD to the U.S. operators to be $8,500, or $1,700 per product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.
