SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2021-0130R1, dated June 10, 2021
(EASA AD 2021-0130R1) (also referred to as the MCAI), to correct an
unsafe condition for all Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all Airbus SAS Model
A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on September 23, 2021 (86 FR 52848). The NPRM was prompted by
reports of slat transmission jams caused by frozen SGRAs at slat 5
track 12. Further investigation showed that the jams occur when water
in the SGRA freezes due to low temperature during cruise and
insufficient water drainage. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive
water drainage and plug cleaning of the left- and right-hand SGRAs
having a certain part number installed on slat 5 track 12 with certain
functional item numbers, as specified in EASA AD 2021-0130R1.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address SGRA jams, which could result
in reduced control of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received a comment from The Air Line Pilots Association,
International (ALPA) who supported the NPRM without change.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment
received, and determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as
proposed. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as
proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic
burden on any operator. Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2021-0130R1 describes procedures for repetitive water
drainage and plug cleaning of the left- and right-hand SGRAs having
part number 4775A0000-02 installed on slat 5 track 12 with functional
item number (FIN) 5045CW and FIN 5145CW (including reinstalling
incorrectly installed drain plug assemblies and replacing any damaged

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

 Spring Regulatory Sciences (SRS) on behalf of Colorants Solutions USA LLC
IN-11612

EPA has received a pesticide petition (IN-11612) from Spring Regulatory Sciences on behalf of Colorants Solutions USA LLC, 4000 Monroe Road, Charlotte, NC 28205 requesting, pursuant to section 408(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d), to amend 40 CFR part 180 to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether (CAS Number: 1812871-29-6), consisting of a minimum number average molecular weight of 11000 daltons, <2% of its oligomeric material weighing below 500 daltons and <5% of its oligomeric material weighing less than 1,000 daltons in or on the raw agricultural commodity growing crops pre or post-harvest under 40 CFR 180.960 when used as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations. EPA has determined that the petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in section 408 (d)(2) of FDDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.

In the case of certain chemical substances that are defined as polymers, the Agency has established a set of criteria to identify categories of polymers expected to present minimal or no risk. The definition of a polymer is given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and the exclusion criteria for identifying these low-risk polymers are described in 40 CFR 723.250(d). 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether conforms to the definition of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250(b) and meets the following criteria that are used to identify low-risk polymers.

1. The polymer is not a cationic polymer nor is it reasonably anticipated to become a cationic polymer in a natural aquatic environment.
2. The polymer contains as an integral part of its composition at least two of the atomic elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, silicon, and sulfur.
3. The polymer does not contain as an integral part of its composition, except as impurities, any element other than those listed in 40 CFR 723.250(d)(2)(ii).
4. The polymer has not been designed to be unstable, decompose, or depolymerize.
5. The polymer is manufactured or imported from monomers and/or reactants that are already included on the TSCA Chemical Substance Inventory.
6. The polymer is not a water absorbing polymer with a number average molecular weight (MW) greater than or equal to 10,000 daltons.
7. The polymer does not contain, as an integral part of its composition, one or more of the following perfluoroalkyl moieties consisting of a CF3- or longer chain length:
a. Perfluoroalkyl sulfonates (PFAS),
b. Perfluoroalkyl carboxylates (PFAC),
c. Fluorotelomers,
d. Perfluoroalkyl moieties that are covalently bound to either a carbon or sulfur atom where the carbon or sulfur atom is an integral part of the polymer molecule.
8. The polymer meets option 2 of the exemption criteria specified in 40 CFR 723.250(e): The polymer's number average molecular weight is greater than or equal to 10000 daltons (11000 daltons), the polymer contains less than 2% oligomeric material below MW 500 (0%) and less than 5% oligomeric material below MW 1,000 (0%) Thus, the polymer meets the criteria for a polymer to be considered low risk under 40 CFR 723.250. Based on its conformance to the criteria in this unit, no mammalian toxicity is anticipated from dietary, inhalation, or dermal exposure to polymers.

 Residue Chemistry

        Plant metabolism. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Analytical method. An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance without any numerical limitation.
          Magnitude of residues. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption

  Toxicological Profile
          Acute toxicity. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Genotoxicty. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Reproductive and developmental toxicity. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Subchronic toxicity. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Chronic toxicity. [There is no evidence that 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2- aminopropyl Me ether is carcinogenic. Therefore, a cancer dietary exposure assessment is not necessary to assess cancer risk.
          Animal metabolism. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption
          Metabolite toxicology. NA-Remove: Polymer exemption

          Endocrine disruption. FQPA requires EPA to develop a screening program to determine whether certain substances, including all pesticide chemicals (both inert and active ingredients), ``may have an effect in humans that is similar to an effect produced by a naturally occurring estrogen, or such other endocrine effect.'' EPA has been working with interested stakeholders to develop a screening and testing program as well as a priority setting scheme. As the Agency proceeds with implementation of this program, further testing of products containing 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether for endocrine effects may be required. This class of chemistry does not belong to a class of chemicals known or suspected of having adverse effects on the estrogen receptor or endocrine system.

  Aggregate Exposure
        Dietary exposure. In examining aggregate exposure, section 408 of the FFDCA directs EPA to consider available information concerning exposures from the pesticide residue in food and all other non-occupational exposures, including drinking water from ground water or surface water and exposure through pesticide use in gardens, lawns, or buildings (residential and other indoor uses).
          EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only in those cases where it can be demonstrated that the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably foreseeable circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human health. In order to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to pesticide inert ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the inert in conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert ingredient through food, drinking water, and through other exposures that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA is able to determine that a finite tolerance is not necessary to ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance may be established.

  Cumulative Effects

      Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when considering whether to
establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the Agency consider "available information" concerning the cumulative effects of a particular pesticide's residues and "other substances that have a common mechanism of toxicity".

Spring Regulatory Sciences has not found 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene,
octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether to share a common mechanism of toxicity with any other substances, and 2,5-Furandione,
polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether does not appear to produce a toxic metabolite produced by other substances. For the purposes of this tolerance action, therefore, SRS has assumed that
2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene- polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether does not have a common mechanism of toxicity with other substances. For information regarding EPA's efforts to determine which chemicals have a common mechanism of toxicity and to evaluate the cumulative effects of such chemicals, see EPA's Web site at http://www.epa.gov/pesticides/
cumulative.

 Safety Determination

1. U.S. population. Based on the conformance to the criteria used to identify a
low-risk polymer, SRS concludes that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm to the
U.S. population, including infants and children, from aggregate exposure to residues of 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene- polypropylene glycol 2-aminopropyl Me ether.

2. Infants and children. Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA provides that EPA shall apply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects to account for prenatal and postnatal toxicity and the completeness of the data base unless EPA concludes that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Due to the expected low toxicity of 2,5-Furandione, polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol 2- aminopropyl Me ether, SRS has not used a safety factor analysis to assess the risk. For
the same reasons the additional tenfold safety factor is unnecessary.

 International Tolerances
SRS is not aware of any country requiring a tolerance for the 2,5-Furandione,
polymer with ethenylbenzene, octyl imide, imide with polyethylene-polypropylene glycol
2-aminopropyl Me ether nor have any CODEX Maximum Residue Levels been
established for any food crops at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release approximately 2.21 acres of airport property, Lot
6, at the Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) under the provisions
of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On January 2, 2013, the Airport Manager at
the Ottumwa Regional Airport requested from the FAA that approximately
2.21 acres of property, Lot 6, be released for sale to Al-Jon
for use as a light manufacturing operation. On July 16, 2013, the FAA
determined that the request to release property at the Ottumwa Regional
Airport (OTM) submitted by the Sponsor meets the procedural
requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration and the release of
the property does not and will not impact future aviation needs at the
airport. The FAA may approve the request, in whole or in part, no
sooner than thirty days after the publication of this Notice.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    Ottumwa Regional Airport (OTM) is proposing the release of one
parcel, Lot 6, containing 2.21 acres, more or less. The
release of land is necessary to comply with Federal Aviation
Administration Grant Assurances that do not allow federally acquired
airport property to be used for non-aviation purposes. The sale of the
subject property will result in the land at the Ottumwa Regional
Airport (OTM) being

changed from aeronautical to non-aeronautical use and release the lands
from the conditions of the Airport Improvement Program Grant Agreement
Grant Assurances. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 47107(c)(2)(B)(i) and
(iii), the airport will receive fair market value for the property,
which will be subsequently reinvested in another eligible airport
improvement project for general aviation facilities at the Ottumwa
Regional Airport.
    Any person may inspect, by appointment, the request in person at
the FAA office listed above under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. In
addition, any person may, upon appointment and request, inspect the
application, notice and other documents determined by the FAA to be
related to the application in person at the Ottumwa Regional Airport.

    Issued in Kansas City, MO on July 26, 2013.

Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)

Date: June 5, 2009

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?

Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active
ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.

Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then
merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not
proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.

What does it contain?

Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.

Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used
on.

Available pesticide usage information from U.S. states that produce 80%
or more of a crop, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases,
depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.

Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural
crop.

Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural
crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).

What assumptions can I make about the reported data?

Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by
merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all
observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than
500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 &
<1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of
1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)

Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data
sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, &
rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is
less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.

Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value
reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the
nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5,
then the value is labeled <2.5.

What are the data sources used?

USDA-NASS (United States Department of Agriculture’s National
Agricultural Statistics Service) – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

Private pesticide market research – pesticide usage data from 2001 to
2007.

NPUD 2002 (National Pesticide Use Database) pesticide usage data from
NPUD 02 of the CropLife Foundation are used only if data are not
available from the other sources.

California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use
Reporting (PUR) data for 2000 to 2005 when 95% or more of a crop is
grown California.

What are the limitations to the data?

Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the
available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).

Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply
zero usage.

Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not
quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the
SLUA.

Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control,
etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to
receive these estimates.

Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This
usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to
Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection
errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 13318-002]

Swan Lake North Hydro, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted For Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions to
Intervene, and Competing Applications

    On April 3, 2012, Swan Lake North Hydro, LLC, filed an application
for a successive preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act (FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Swan
Lake North Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (project) to be located
near Klamath Falls in Klamath County, Oregon and Newell in Modoc
County, California. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does not
authorize the permit holder to perform any land-disturbing activities
or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others without the
owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following new facilities:
(1) Two 111-foot-high, 6,560-foot-long (east) and 5.990-foot-long
(west) rockfill dams enclosing an upper reservoir; (2) an upper
reservoir with a surface area of 215 acres and a storage capacity of
10,622 acre-feet at a maximum surface elevation of 5,491 feet above
mean sea level (msl); (3) a 100-foot-high, 5,245-foot-long rockfill
main dam and a 9-foot-high, 360-foot-long rockfill saddle dam enclosing
a lower reservoir; (4) a lower reservoir with a surface area of 193
acres and a storage capacity of 11,583 acre-feet at a maximum surface
elevation of 4,275 feet msl; (5) a 30-foot-diameter, 2,570-foot-long
horizontal power tunnel; (6) a 30-foot-diameter, 1,200-foot-long
vertical shaft; (7) a 30-foot-diameter, 1,000-foot-long high pressure
steel-lined penstock branching into four 12.25-foot-diameter, 640-foot-
long steel-lined penstocks going into the underground powerhouse: (8)
an underground powerhouse with four 250-megawatt (MW) reversible pump-
turbine units with a total installed capacity of 1,000 MW; (9) four
12.5-foot-diameter manifold branches that will combine into a single
26-foot-diameter, 5,000-foot-long, partially steel-lined and partially
concrete-lined tailrace tunnel; (10) a tailrace inlet/outlet structure
consisting of a concrete-lined approach channel, trash racks, and two
vertically controlled slide gates; (11) a 30-foot-diameter, 3,600-foot-
long access tunnel; (12) a permanent 24-foot-wide, 3.5-mile-long haul
road; (13) approximately 33 miles of 500-kilovolt (kV) transmission
line connecting to a terminal switchyard to be constructed adjacent to
the existing California Oregon Transmission Project 500-kV line in
California; and (14) appurtenant facilities. The project would be a
closed-loop system using groundwater and would not use any existing
surface body of water. The estimated annual generation of the project
would be 2,630 gigawatt-hours.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0697; Product Identifier 2019-NM-110-AD; Amendment
39-19796; AD 2019-23-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directives (AD) 2017-19-
14 and AD 2014-16-27, which apply to certain Dassault Aviation Model
FALCON 900EX airplanes. Those ADs require revising the existing
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or
more restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations. Since the FAA issued AD 2017-19-14 and AD 2014-16-27, the
FAA determined that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This AD requires revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 13, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of January 13,
2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of
October 24, 2017 (82 FR 43674, September 19, 2017).

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2019-0134, dated June 11, 2019 (``EASA AD 2019-0134'') (also
referred to as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Dassault
Aviation Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. You may examine the MCAI in the
AD docket on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching
for and locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0697.
    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2017-19-14, Amendment 39-19044 (82 FR
43674, September 19, 2017) (``AD 2017-19-14''); and AD 2014-16-27,
Amendment 39-17951 (79 FR 51071, August 27, 2014) (``AD 2014-16-27'').
AD 2017-19-14 and AD 2014-16-27 applied to certain Dassault Aviation
Model FALCON 900EX airplanes. Further, AD 2014-16-27 terminates
paragraph (g)(1) of AD 2010-26-05, Amendment 39-16544 (75 FR 79952,
December 21, 2010), for certain Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 900EX
airplanes, and this terminating provision is included in this AD. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on September 13, 2019 (84 FR
48310). The NPRM was prompted by the FAA's determination that new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations are necessary. The NPRM
proposed to require revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive
airworthiness limitations. The FAA is issuing this AD to address, among
other things, fatigue cracking and damage in principal structural
elements; such fatigue cracking and damage could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or
on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety
and the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. The FAA determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Dassault Aviation has issued Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness
Limitations, Revision 11, dated September 2018, of the Dassault Falcon
900EX EASy, Falcon 900LX, and Falcon 900DX Maintenance Manual. This
service information describes procedures, maintenance tasks, and
airworthiness limitations specified in the Airworthiness Limitations
section of the airplane maintenance manual.
    This AD also requires Chapter 5-40, Airworthiness Limitations,
Revision 9, dated November 2015, of the Dassault Falcon 900EX EASy,
Falcon 900LX, and Falcon 900DX Maintenance Manual, which the Director
of the Federal Register approved for incorporation by reference as of
October 24, 2017 (82 FR 43674, September 19, 2017).
    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.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 79 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2017-19-14 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. In the past, the FAA has estimated that this action takes
1 work-hour per airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or
inspection program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has
determined that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-
airplane estimate. The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for
the new actions to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs

applicable to transport category airplanes and associated appliances to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA 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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [ EPA R06 OAR 2004 TX 0014; FRL______________________]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Texas; Rules for the Control of Highly Reactive Volatile Organic Compounds in the Houston/ Galveston/ Brazoria Ozone Nonattainment Area AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is approving rules adopted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality ( TCEQ) for the control of highly reactive Volatile Organic Compounds ( HRVOCs) in the Houston/ Galveston/ Brazoria ( HGB) ozone nonattainment area. These rules for the control of HRVOCs supplement Texas' existing rules for controlling volatile organic compounds ( VOC) by providing more extensive requirements for certain equipment in HRVOC service. These additional controls of HRVOC emissions will help to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards ( NAAQS) for ozone in HGB.

DATES: This rule is effective on [ Insert date 30 days from date of publication in the Federal Register]. 2 ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA R06

OAR 2004 TX 0014. All documents in the docket are listed on the www. regulations. gov web site.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Throughout this document wherever " we", " us", or " our" are used, we mean the EPA.

What Action is EPA Taking?

We are approving portions of revisions to the SIP submitted by the State of Texas in letters dated January 23, 2003, November 7, 2003, March 26, 2004 and December 17, 2004. We are approving the portions of these revisions that pertain to the control of HRVOCs. These rules,

which are codified at 30 TAC Chapter 115, Subchapter H, apply to facilities in the HGB ozone nonattainment area. We are also approving the associated revisions to the definitions section of 30 Texas Administrative Code ( TAC) 115.10. The revisions are approved pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Federal Clean Air Act ( the Act).

What is the Background for this Action?

These rules to control HRVOCs were adopted by TCEQ based on recent findings that certain highly reactive chemicals ( ethylene, propylene, 1,3 butadiene and butenes) contribute disproportionately to the ozone problem in the HGB area. EPA issued a proposed approval of these rule revisions on April 7, 2005 ( 70 FR 17640). In EPA's proposed approval, we explained the rationale for our approval and solicited comments for 30 days.

What Comments were Received on the Proposed Approval?

Only one comment letter was received regarding the proposed approval and it was supportive of the proposed action.

What does Federal approval of a State regulation mean to me? 4 Enforcement of the State regulation before and after it is incorporated into the federally approved SIP is primarily a state function. However, once the regulation is federally approved,

the EPA and the public may take enforcement action against violators of these regulations if the state fails to do so. In addition, only regulations that have been federally approved can be credited toward an area's attainment or rate of progress plan. EPA has proposed approval of the ozone attainment plan for the HGB area. The measures to control HRVOCs in this approval are part of the control strategy to demonstrate attainment of the ozone standard.

What General Requirements do the Rules Establish?

The rules establish improved monitoring requirements for flares, cooling towers, process vents and pressure relief valves. The rules establish a 1200 lb/ hour site wide short term limit on HRVOCs for sources in Harris County. In addition, the improved source monitoring provides the information necessary for sources to demonstrate compliance with an annual cap and trade program controlling emissions of HRVOCs from cooling tower, process vents, pressure relief devices and flares contained in 30 TAC Chapter 101. EPA proposed approval of the HRVOC cap and trade program on October 5, 2005 ( 70 FR 58112). Also, to better control fugitive emissions of HRVOCs, the rules being approved here establish more stringent leak detection and repair work practice requirements.

Why are We Approving these Rules?

The addition of these rules for the control of HRVOCs will supplement Texas' existing rules controlling volatile organic compounds ( VOC) and provide improvements to the Texas SIP's VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology ( RACT) rules. These additional controls of HRVOC emissions will help to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards 5 ( NAAQS) for ozone in HGB. Today's action's makes the revised regulations Federally enforceable.

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 merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 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 approves pre existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 ( Public Law 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 6 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). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, 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, A Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ( 62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards ( VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA,

when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, 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.

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.).

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U. S. C. section 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. 7 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. 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.

section 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 [ FEDERAL REGISTER OFFICE: insert date 60 days from date of publication of this document in the Federal Register]. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements.
