SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Basis and Purpose

    Section 102 of the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) of
2002 (Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064) added section 70112 of Title 46
of the U.S. Code and authorized the Secretary of the Department in
which the Coast Guard is operating to establish Area Maritime Security
Advisory Committees for any port area of the United States. (See 33
U.S.C. 1226; 46 U.S.C. 70112; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.01; DHS Delegation No.
00170.1(II)(71), Revision No. 01.3. The MTSA includes a provision
exempting these AMSCs from the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA),
Public Law 92-436, 86 Stat. 470 (5 U.S.C. App. 2).\1\ The AMSCs shall
assist the Federal Maritime Security Coordinator in the

development, review, update, and exercising of the Area Maritime
Security Plan for their area of responsibility. Such matters may
include, but are not limited to, the following:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 117-286, section 3 placed FACA provisions in 5
U.S.C. chapter 10, and section. 7 repealed FACA ``except with
respect to rights and duties that matured, penalties that were
incurred, or proceedings that were begun before the date of
enactment of'' Public Law 117-286.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) Identifying critical port infrastructure and operations;
Identifying risks (threats, vulnerabilities, and consequences).
    (2) Determining mitigation strategies and implementation methods.
    (3) Developing strategies to facilitate the recovery of the MTS
after a Transportation Security Incident.
    (4) Developing and describing the process to continually evaluate
overall port security by considering consequences and vulnerabilities,
how they may change over time, and what additional mitigation
strategies can be applied; and
    (5) Providing advice to and assisting the Federal Maritime Security
Coordinator in developing and maintaining the Area Maritime Security
Plan.

II. AMSC Membership

    Members of the AMSC should have at least five years of experience
related to maritime or port security operations. The Sector Columbia
River AMSC has 20 members, and we are seeking to fill additional
vacancies with this solicitation.
    Applicants may be required to pass an appropriate security
background check prior to appointment to the committee. Applicants must
register with and remain active as a Coast Guard Homeport user if
appointed. Terms of office will be for five years; however, a member is
eligible to serve additional terms of office. Members will not receive
any salary or other compensation for their service on an AMSC. In
accordance with 33 CFR 103, members may be selected from Federal,
Territorial, or Tribal governments; State government and political
subdivisions of the State; local public safety, crisis management, and
emergency response agencies; law enforcement and security
organizations; maritime industry, including labor; other port
stakeholders having a special competence in maritime security; and port
stakeholders affected by security practices and policies.
    The Coast Guard does not discriminate in selecting committee
members on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin,
political affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, marital
status, disability, genetic information, age, membership in an employee
organization, or any other non-merit factor. The Coast Guard strives to
achieve a widely diverse candidate pool for all its recruitment
actions.

III. Request for Applications

    Those seeking membership are not required to submit formal
applications to the local Captain of the Port, however, because we do
have an obligation to ensure that a specific number of members have the
prerequisite maritime security experience, we encourage the submission
of resumes highlighting experience in the maritime and security
industries.

    Dated: August 29, 2023.
Justin W. Noggle,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Captain of the Port Sector Columbia River
and Federal Maritime Security Coordinator Sector Columbia River.

DIETARY EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT OF ZINC 	 NAPHTHENATE  FOR REREGISTRATION
ELEIGIBILITY DECISION(Case # 3099)

Executive Summary

In order to conduct the dietary exposure  assessment Antimicrobials does
the label database search and all those applications that involve the
indirect food contact with the pesticidal use of the specific chemical
is assessed for any dietary concerns from indirect migration of the
pesticide into foods, fruits and vegetables. In our foregoing REDs on
antimicrobials we have used with modifications Food and Drug
Administration  (FDA) methodologies.

Label searches for zinc naphthenate (Case # 3099) has resulted in the
following use sites:  1) Zinc naphthenate is used as a wood preservative
 when applied  through surface and pressure treatments. It is used as a
surface wrap, for above and below ground contacts  for poles, posts,
pilings, wood seals,  to treat termites, wood eating insects. Surface
treatment is through spray and or brush.

2) Wood boats, shingles, doors, windows, frames, stairs, sills, porches.
For treatments against carpenter ants, rot, fungi, mildew.

3) It is also used for marine pilings.

All the use sites listed are not likely to result in any indirect food
migration of zinc naphthenate into food, fruits or vegetable in
residential scenarios.   No estimated Daily intake (EDI) is likely to
result. AD, therefore has not conducted any dietary exposure assessment
for zinc napththenate.

AD has no dietary concerns with the use patterns of zinc napththenate
used primarily as a wood preservative.

    Title: NSPS for Small Municipal Waste Combustors (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1900.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0423.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2009.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: These regulations apply to small municipal waste
combustors (MWCs) commencing construction after

August 30, 1999, and small MWC units commencing reconstruction or
modification after June 6, 2001, that combust greater than 35 tons per
day (tpd) but less than 250 tpd of municipal solid waste. This
information collection is required as a result of the implementation of
the New Source Performance Standards developed under the authority of
sections 111 and 129 of the Clean Air Act. The regulations require
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners
or operators also are required to maintain records of the occurrence
and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation
of an affected facility or any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. Owners and operators of small MWCs are required
to measure, record, and report emission rates and operating parameters,
follow good combustion practices, and submit a siting analysis. Owners
or operators subject to these regulations are required to maintain
records of measurements and reports for at least five years.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,108
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Small Municipal Waste Combustors.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually, annually, and on
occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,975.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,087,204, which includes $938,068 in
labor costs, $66,000 in capital/start-up costs, and operation and
maintenance costs of $83,136.
    Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR is an adjustment due to a decrease in
the number of respondents, from three to two.

    Dated: September 26, 2009.

    Title: Cargo Tank Specification Requirements.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0014.
    Summary: This information collection consolidates and describes the
information collection provisions in parts 107, 178, and 180 of the HMR

involving the manufacture, qualification, maintenance, and use of all
specification cargo tank motor vehicles. It also includes the
information collection and recordkeeping requirements for persons who
are engaged in the manufacture, assembly, requalification, and
maintenance of DOT specification cargo tank motor vehicles. The types
of information collected include:
    (1) Registration Statements: Cargo tank manufacturers and
repairers, as well as cargo tank motor vehicle assemblers, are required

ensure they possess the knowledge and skills necessary to perform the
required functions and that they are performing the specified functions
in accordance with the applicable regulations.
    (2) Requalification and Maintenance Reports: These reports are
prepared by persons who requalify or maintain cargo tanks. This
information is used by cargo tank owners, operators and users, and DOT
compliance personnel to verify that the cargo tanks are requalified,
maintained, and in proper condition for the transportation of hazardous
materials.
    (3) Manufacturers' Data Reports, Certificates, and Related Papers:

Management Division for copies of the proposed collection of
information at email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and
Emergency Assistance Act (Pub. L. 93-288) (the Stafford Act), as
amended, is the legal basis for FEMA to provide financial assistance
and services to individuals who apply for disaster assistance benefits
in the event of a federally-declared disaster. Regulations in Title 44
of the Code of Federal Regulations, Subpart D, ``Federal Assistance to
Individuals and Households,'' implement the policy and procedures set
forth in section 408 of the Stafford Act. This program provides
financial assistance and, if necessary, direct assistance to eligible
individuals

and households who, as a direct result of a major disaster, have
necessary expenses and serious needs that are unable to be met through
other means. Individuals and households may apply for assistance
(Registration Intake) under the Individuals and Households Program
(IHP) in person, via telephone, or internet. FEMA provides financial
assistance under the Other Needs Assistance provision of the IHP to
individuals or households affected by a major disaster to meet
disaster-related funeral expenses under Section 408(e)(1) of the Robert
T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford
Act), Public Law 93-288, as amended.
    Historically, the agency has utilized a combination of public and
commercial validation of ownership and or occupancy, which impacts
eligibility for Housing Assistance and some forms of Other Needs
Assistance. This update applies to the proposed expansion of the
acceptable documentation applicants can submit to FEMA to verify the
occupancy and/or ownership of their primary residence and establish
eligibility for disaster assistance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection 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 collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Postmarketing Adverse Drug and Biological Product Experience Reporting
and Recordkeeping

OMB Control Number 0910-0230--Extension

    Sections 201, 502, 505, and 701 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 352, 355, and 371) require that marketed
drugs be safe and effective. To monitor the safety and efficacy of
drugs that are on the market, FDA must be promptly informed of adverse
experiences associated with the use of marketed drugs. FDA issued
regulations at Sec. Sec.  310.305 and 314.80 (21 CFR 310.305 and
314.80) to implement reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the
drug industry that would enable FDA to take the action necessary to
protect the public health from adverse drug experiences.
    All applicants who have received marketing approval of drug
products are required to report to FDA serious, unexpected adverse drug
experiences (15-day ``Alert reports''), as well as followup reports
(Sec.  314.80(c)(1)). This includes reports of all foreign or domestic
adverse experiences as well as those based on information from
applicable scientific literature and certain reports from postmarketing
studies. Section 314.80(c)(1)(iii) pertains to such reports submitted
by nonapplicants.
    Under Sec.  314.80(c)(2), applicants must provide periodic reports
of adverse drug experiences. A periodic report includes, for the
reporting interval, reports of serious, expected adverse drug
experiences and all nonserious adverse drug experiences and an index of
these reports, a narrative summary and analysis of adverse drug
experiences, an analysis of the 15-day Alert reports submitted during
the reporting interval, and a history of actions taken because of
adverse drug experiences. Under Sec.  314.80(j), applicants must keep
for 10 years records of all adverse drug experience reports known to
the applicant.
    For marketed prescription drug products without approved new drug
applications or abbreviated new drug applications, manufacturers,
packers, and distributors are required to report to FDA serious,
unexpected adverse drug experiences as well as followup reports (Sec.
310.305(c)). Section 310.305(c)(5) pertains to the submission of
followup reports to reports forwarded to the manufacturers, packers,
and distributors by FDA. Under Sec.  310.305(g), each manufacturer,
packer, and distributor shall maintain for 10 years records of all
adverse drug experiences required to be reported.
    The primary purpose of FDA's adverse drug experience reporting
system is to enable identification of signals for potentially serious
safety problems with marketed drugs. Although premarket testing
discloses a general safety profile of a new drug's comparatively common
adverse effects, the larger and more diverse patient populations
exposed to the marketed drug provide the opportunity to collect
information on rare, latent, and long-term effects. Signals are
obtained from a variety of sources, including reports from patients,
treating physicians, foreign regulatory agencies, and clinical
investigators. Information derived from the adverse drug experience
reporting system contributes directly to increased

public health protection because the information enables FDA to make
important changes to the product's labeling (such as adding a new
warning), to make decisions about risk evaluation and mitigation
strategies or the need for postmarketing studies or clinical trials,
and when necessary, to initiate removal of a drug from the market.
    Respondents to this collection of information are manufacturers,
packers, distributors, and applicants. The following estimates are
based on FDA's knowledge of adverse drug experience reporting,
including the time needed to prepare the reports and the number of
reports submitted to the Agency.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

\2\ There are maintenance costs of approximately $22,000 annually.

    The burden associated with table 2 has increased due to the
electronic Safety Reporting Rule that mandated sponsors to submit ALL
reports electronically by September 2016. Prior to this date, FDA did
not enter all individual report data in document tracking systems or
count some types of paper-based nonexpedited reports (i.e., those
describing adverse events that are both nonserious and previously
labeled). With required electronic reporting of all reports and each
report counted separately, the total number of records and required
recordkeeping also increased.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0729; Project Identifier AD-2020-00620-E]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; CFM International, S.A. Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain CFM International, S.A. (CFM) LEAP-1A23, LEAP-1A24, LEAP-
1A24E1, LEAP-1A26, LEAP-1A26CJ, LEAP-1A26E1, LEAP-1A29, LEAP-1A29CJ,
LEAP-1A30, LEAP-1A32, LEAP-1A33, LEAP-1A33B2, LEAP-1A35A model turbofan
engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an investigation by CFM that
showed a subsurface anomaly in a part manufactured using the same
material as the LEAP-1A high-pressure turbine (HPT) stage 2 disk. This
proposed AD would require an ultrasonic inspection (UI) of the HPT
stage 2 disk and replacement of any HPT stage 2 disk that fails the UI
with a part eligible for installation. The FAA is proposing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
8, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0729;
Project Identifier AD-2020-00620-E'' at the beginning of your comments.
The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal,
explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting
data. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date
and may amend this NPRM because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information as described in the
following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact received about this proposal.

Confidential Business Information

    Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will
not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing
CBI should be sent to Christopher McGuire, Aerospace Engineer, ECO
Branch, FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA, 01803. Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA learned that during a broad investigation by CFM into melt-
related material anomalies, a subsurface anomaly was found in a part
manufactured from the same material used to manufacture the LEAP-1A HPT
stage 2 disk. This condition, if not addressed, could result in failure
of the HPT stage 2 disk, uncontained release of the HPT stage 2 disk,
damage to the engine, and damage to the airplane.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM because the agency has determined that
the unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop
in other products of the same type design.

Service Information Incorporated by Reference Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed CFM Service Bulletin (SB) LEAP-1A-72-00-0405-01A-
930A-D, Issue 001, dated March 5, 2020. The SB describes procedures for
performing an ultrasonic inspection of the HPT stage 2 disk. 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.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require a UI of the HPT stage 2 disk and
replacement of any HPT stage 2 disk that fails the inspection with a
part eligible for installation.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, as proposed, would affect 148
engines installed on airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per      Cost on U.S.
               Action                         Labor cost            Parts cost        product        operators

UI of HPT stage 2 disk.............  8 work-hours x $85 per hour              $0            $680        $100,640
                                      = $680.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per

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

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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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