NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST-2004-19714

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  Volga-Dnepr J.S. Cargo Airline					Date Filed:  November 18,
2004

Relief requested:

(1)  Exemption from the foreign air carrier permit and exemption
conditions of Order 98-2-5; and

(2)  Statement of authorization under 14 CFR Part 212 of the Departments
rules to the extent necessary to permit Volga-Dnepr to operate one
one-way fifth-freedom cargo charter flight with AN-124 aircraft,
transporting outsized cargo from Huntsville, Alabama, to Khartoum,
Sudan, on behalf of ASB-Air Ltd.  The purpose of the flight is to
transport trucks and trailers to Sudan for use by the Department of
State.  The flight is scheduled to depart Huntsville November 20, 2004.

In support of its request, Volga-Dnepr states that Order 98-2-5, issued
by the Department pursuant to Executive Order 13067 (published at 62
Fed. Reg. 59987-59990, November 5, 1997), strictly prohibits virtually
all transactions involving transportation of cargo to/from Sudan and
does not address exceptions in the Executive Order.  In that regard,
Volga-Dnepr notes that Section 3(a) of the Executive Order states that
nothing in the order shall prohibit “transactions for the conduct of
the official business of the Federal Government.”  Volga-Dnepr states
that it is Volga-Dnepr’s understanding that the shipment qualifies as
“official business of the Federal Government” and requests an
exemption from the conditions imposed in Order 98-2-5 to permit it to
transport the material to Sudan.

In addition, by letter dated November 18, 2004 and filed as part of
Volga-Dnepr’s exemption application, the Department of State has
represented to the Sudanese Civil Aviation Authority that the shipment
of vehicles and trailers is urgently needed in Sudan as part of the
State Department’s program for Humanitarian Assistance and
Reconstruction with the African Union Mission in Sudan.  The Department
of State has confirmed its support of our action here.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks<PHONE_NUMBER>

DOT Analyst:  Gordon H, Bingham<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  None filed (Volga-Dnepr served its application on
those U.S. carriers operating large all-cargo aircraft).

DISPOSITION

Action:  Approved									Action date:  November 19, 2004

(We acted on this application without awaiting expiration of the 15-day
answer period with the consent of all parties served.)

Effective dates of authority granted:  November 19, 2004-November 24,
2004

Basis for approval:  Based on the record before us, we found that the
authority requested by Volga-Dnepr and the grant of Volga-Dnepr’s
request for an exemption was in the public interest.  In addition, we
also found that grant of Volga-Dnepr’s request for a statement of
authorization under 14 CFR Part 212 was in the public interest.  We also
found that reciprocity with the Russian Federation warranted approval of
its request to operate the subject flight.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that Volga-Dnepr
comply with an FAA-approved flight routing for the authorized flight.

We may amend, modify or revoke this authority at any time and without
hearing.

In the conduct of the operations authorized, the foreign carrier
applicant(s) shall:

(1)  Not conduct any operations unless it holds a currently effective
authorization from its homeland for such operations, and it has filed a
copy of such authorization with the Department;

(2)  Comply with all applicable requirements of the Federal Aviation
Administration, including, but not limited to, 14 CFR Parts 129, 91, and
36, and with all applicable U.S. Government requirements concerning
security, including, but not limited to, 49 CFR Part 1546 or 1550, as
applicable.  To assure compliance with all applicable U.S. Government
requirements concerning security, the holder shall, before commencing
any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its International Principal Security Inspector (IPSI) to advise
the IPSI of its plans and to find out whether the Transportation
Security Administration has determined that security is adequate to
allow such airport(s) to be served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation
Administration’s Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards
Service (any changes to, or termination of, insurance also shall be
filed with that office);

(4)  Not operate aircraft under this authority unless it complies with
operational safety requirements at least equivalent to Annex 6 of the
Chicago Convention;

(5)  Conform to the airworthiness and airman competency requirements of
its Government for international air services;

(6)  Except as specifically exempted or otherwise provided for in a
Department Order, comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 203,
concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(7)  Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: (a)  based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

(9)  Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

(10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department's rules
governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

(11) Comply with such other reasonable terms, conditions, and
limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department, with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S.
agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

This authority shall not be effective during any period when the holder
is not in compliance with the conditions imposed above.  Moreover, this
authority cannot be sold or otherwise transferred without explicit
Department approval under Title 49 of the U.S. Code.

[a]
The total number of respondents estimated over the next three years is based on approximately 177 existing units at 153 facilities that are subject to the standard, with one new unit per year over the same period. The overall average number of respondents submitting reports in each year is calculated as one-third of the total respondents and is 60 respondents per year.

[b]
Labor cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $64.80 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $40.50 x 1.6), $48.08 for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $30.05 x 1.6) and $26.02 Clerical (GS-6, Step 3, $16.26 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2017 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.

[c]
It is estimated that of the sources reporting annually with ESPs or IWSs, 90% will request to use operating parameter limits instead of continuous particulate detectors.
d
Assumes all HWCs have already developed and implemented feedstream analysis plans under current RCRA requirements (referred to as the waste analysis plan). There is no incremental burden for this requirement.

[e]
It is estimated that 10% of sources will submit a one-time request for a compliance extension due to the installation of controls, and that another 10% will submit a one-time request for a compliance extension for waste minimization purposes.

[f]
Assumes 20% of all facilities operating an HWC will apply for an extension each year.

g
It is estimated that 50% of the sources reporting annually will be making design, operation, and maintenance changes to comply with the MACT rule.

[h]
It is anticipated that 39 sources (among all HWC) will conduct PM CEMS correlation testing over the 3-year period of this ICR and request a waiver of PM and opacity standards during the testing.
i
Assumes 10% of respondents will submit a petition for an alternative particulate matter standard for liquid fuel boilers with low feedrates.

j
Assumes 1 new respondent and 10% of existing respondents reporting annually will develop or revise the SSM plan and resubmit the plan for approval.
[k]
Assumes 10% of respondents will submit AWFCO excessive exceedance reports.

[l]
It is estimated that 50% of hazardous waste incinerators reporting annually have ESVs, and will develop an ESV operating plan.  On average, each unit will have 3 ESV openings per year.
[m]
It is estimated that respondents will request approval for 50% of all sources for use of an alternative means to provide control of combustion system leaks (control through a positively sealed combustion chamber).
n
It is estimated that 10% of all sources reporting annually will submit a request to use previous emissions test data to serve as documentation of compliance with emission standards.
o
Assumes 60% of respondents must conduct a comprehensive performance test every 3 years and 60% of respondents must conduct a confirmatory performance every 5 years.
p
All facilities will submit a Notification of Compliance. It is estimated that 10% of facilities conducting the comprehensive performance test will apply for a waiver or time extension.
[q]
It is estimated that 10% of all facilities will apply for and receive approval to use alternative monitoring requirements to document compliance with the emission standards of Subpart EEE other than CO or HC which are monitored with a CEMS. It is estimated that no facilities will make a request to use alternative operating parameters or methods to CEMS or CEMS in lieu of operating parameters.
[r]
It is estimated that no existing sources will chose to use a CEMS for compliance monitoring and that 10% of sources will make a request to set feedrate limits with extrapolation.
[s]
It is estimated that EPA will request additional relevant information for the site-specific CMS performance test plan from 10% of the sources performing the test.
t
As part of the comprehensive performance test, HWCs will submit a CMS quality control program, notification of performance evaluation and additional notification requirements; we estimate that 50% of sources have submitted a CMS quality control program at this time.
u
HWCs are also required to submit performance evaluation test plan, and conduct a CMS performance test.  We estimate 60% of sources would submit test plans and conduct performance testing along with their comprehensive performance testing.
v
Assumes one respondent will prepare a draft NIC, notify the public about a NIC meeting, conduct the NIC meeting, prepare a final NIC with meeting comments, submit the NIC to EPA, and complete the progress report for one new HWC.
w
Assumes one respondent will submit initial notifications for a new HWC.

[x]
We estimate that 25% of all facilities will submit a request for an adjustment to a time period or postmark deadline.

y
It is estimated that 10% of facilities will submit a request to reduce frequency of excess emissions and continuous system performance reports from a quarterly (or more frequent basis).
z
It is estimated that 1% of all facilities reporting annually will submit a waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements.

[aa]
It is anticipated that 25% of facilities will take actions during a startup, shutdown, or malfunction that are consistent with the procedures specified in the facility's startup, shutdown, or malfunction plan. These facilities are required to submit a periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction report. Another 10% of facilities will take actions that are not consistent with procedures specified in their plans. These facilities acquired to submit an immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction report.
[bb]
It is anticipated that all facilities will submit an excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance report and summary report.
[cc]
It is estimated that 25% of facilities will submit a request for approval to use data compression techniques.

[dd]
Burden for performance evaluations is included in the notification of performance test and CMS performance evaluations.

[ee]
It is estimated that no source will submit requests to use an alternative CEMS span.

[ff]
It is estimated that 25% of facilities will request to comply with the alternative risk based chlorine standards.

[gg]
Assumes 5% of all respondents will document in the operating record compliance with alternative applicable Clean Air Act requirements and standards.
[hh]
Assumes one respondent will document the hazardous waste residence time in the operating record for a new HWC.

[ii]
Assumes 10% of respondents will update or develop the operator training and certification program each year.

[jj]
Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
