SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56516; File No. PCAOB-2007-03]

Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; Notice of Filing and
Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Adjusting
Implementation Schedule of Rule 3523, Tax Services for Persons in
Financial Reporting Oversight Roles

September 25, 2007.
    Pursuant to Section 107(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the
``Act''), notice is hereby given that on July 24, 2007, the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (the ``Board'' or the ``PCAOB'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the ``SEC'' or
``Commission'') the proposed rule change described in Items I and II
below, which items have been prepared by the Board. The PCAOB has
designated the proposed rule change as ``constituting a stated policy,
practice, or interpretation with respect to the meaning,
administration, or enforcement of an existing rule'' under Section
19(b)(3)(A)(i) of the Securities

Exchange Act of 1934 (as incorporated, by reference, into Section
107(b)(4) of the Act) and Rule 19b-4(f)(1) thereunder, which renders
the proposal effective upon receipt of this filing by the Commission.
The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule from interested persons.

I. Board's Statement of the Terms of Substance of the Proposed Rule

    The PCAOB is filing with the SEC an adjustment of the
implementation schedule for Rule 3523, Tax Services for Persons in
Financial Reporting Oversight Roles. Specifically the Board will not
apply Rule 3523 to tax services provided on or before April 30, 2008,
when those services are provided during the audit period and are
completed before the professional engagement period begins. The PCAOB
is not proposing any textual changes to the Rules of the PCAOB by this
filing.

II. Board's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule

    In its filing with the Commission, the Board included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule. The text of
these statements may be examined at the places specified in Item IV
below. The Board has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A, B,
and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Board's Statement of the Purpose of, and Statutory Basis for, the
Proposed Rule

(a) Purpose
    On July 26, 2005, the Board adopted certain rules related to
registered public accounting firms' provision of tax services to public
company audit clients. As part of this rulemaking, the Board adopted
Rule 3523, which provides that a registered firm, subject to certain
exceptions, is not independent of an audit client if the firm, or an
affiliate of the firm, provides tax services during the audit and
professional engagement period to a person in, or an immediate family
member of a person in, a financial reporting oversight role at an audit
client. This rule was intended to address concerns related to auditor
independence when auditors provide personal tax services to individuals
who play a direct role in preparing the financial statements of public
company audit clients. Rule 3523 was approved by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') on April 19, 2006.
    Consistent with the SEC's independence rules,\1\ the phrase ``audit
and professional engagement period'' is defined to include two discrete
periods of time. The ``audit period'' is the period covered by any
financial statements being audited or reviewed.\2\ The ``professional
engagement period'' is the period beginning when the firm either signs
the initial engagement letter or begins audit procedures, whichever is
earlier, and ends when either the company or the firm notifies the SEC
that the company is no longer that firm's audit client.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 17 CFR 210.2-01(f)(5).
    \2\ Rule 3501(a)(iii)(1).
    \3\ Rule 3501(a)(iii)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 3, 2007, the Board issued a concept release to solicit
comment about the possible effect on a firm's independence of providing
tax services to a person covered by Rule 3523 during the portion of the
audit period that precedes the beginning of the professional engagement
period and other practical consequences of applying the restrictions
imposed by Rule 3523 to that portion of the audit period.\4\ The Board
also adjusted the implementation schedule for Rule 3523, as it applies
to tax services provided during the period subject to audit but before
the professional engagement period.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See PCAOB Release No. 2007-002 (April 3, 2007).
    \5\ See id., at 7. Specifically, the Board stated that Rule 3523
will not apply to tax services provided on or before July 31, 2007,
when those services are provided during the audit period and are
completed before the professional engagement period begins.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Board received 13 comment letters on the concept release.
Commenters included auditors, state certified public accountant
societies, and one investor. The majority of the commenters recommended
that the Board amend Rule 3523 to exclude the portion of the audit
period that precedes the beginning of the professional engagement
period. On July 24, 2007, the Board proposed an amendment to Rule 3523
to exclude the portion of the audit period that precedes the beginning
of the professional engagement period, as well as a new ethics and
independence rule regarding communication with audit committees.
    The Board has determined to further adjust the implementation
schedule for Rule 3523 to allow sufficient time for consideration of
commenters' views. Specifically, the Board will not apply Rule 3523 to
tax services provided on or before April 30, 2008, when those services
are provided during the audit period and are completed before the
professional engagement period begins.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ This will apply regardless of whether there is an engagement
in process on July 31, 2007.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Title I of the
Act.

B. Board's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Board does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Board's Statement on Comments on the Proposed Rule Received From
Members, Participants or Others

    The Board did not solicit or receive written comments on the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as incorporated, by
reference, into Section 107(b)(4) of the Act) and paragraph (f) of Rule
19b-4 thereunder because of its designation by the PCAOB as
``constituting a stated policy, practice, or interpretation with
respect to the meaning, administration, or enforcement of an existing
rule.'' At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if it
appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or appropriate
in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or otherwise
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
is consistent with the requirements of Title I of the Act. Comments may
be submitted by any of the following methods:

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboshaft
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 all Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW210A and PW210S model
turboshaft engines. This proposed AD was prompted by a report from the
manufacturer that the Automated Damage Tracking System (ADTS) may
under-count the number of cycles accrued by the impeller and the high-
pressure compressor (HPC) rotor. The impeller and HPC rotor are both
life-limited components and exceeding their published life limits could
result in the failure of these components. This proposed AD would
require the use of the manual low-cycle fatigue (LCF) counting method
in place of the ADTS counting method to determine the number of cycles
accrued by the impeller and HPC rotor. 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 April 12,
2021.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

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 ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0103; Project Identifier
MCAI-2020-00604-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 proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) 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 agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact we receive about this NPRM.

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
Barbara Caufield, Aviation Safety 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

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (Transport Canada), which is the
aviation authority for Canada, has issued Transport Canada AD CF-2020-
13, dated April 28, 2020 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI''), to
address the unsafe condition on these products. The MCAI states:

    The engine manufacturer has discovered that the Automated Damage
Tracking System (ADTS) may under-count the number of cycles accrued
by the impeller and the High Pressure (HP) compressor rotor. The
impeller and HP compressor rotor are both life limited components
and exceeding their published life limits could result in the
failure of these components.
    Failure of the impeller or HP compressor rotor could result in
the uncontained release of the impeller or the HP compressor rotor,
and subsequently could result in damage to the engine, damage to the
helicopter, and loss of control of the helicopter.
    This [Transport Canada] AD mandates the use of the Manual Low
Cycle Fatigue (LCF) Counting method to ensure that the impeller and
HP compressor rotor do not exceed their published life limits.

    You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2021-0103.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of Canada
and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to our
bilateral agreement with Canada, Transport Canada has notified the FAA
of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service information.
The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency evaluated all the
relevant information provided by Transport Canada and determined the
unsafe condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in
other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Alert Service
Bulletin (ASB) No. PW210-72-A57142, Revision No. 1, dated March 26,
2020 (ASB No. PW210-72-A57142); and Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. ASB
No. PW210-72-A57143, Revision No. 1, dated March 26, 2020 (ASB No.
PW210-72-A57143). ASB No. PW210-72-A57142 specifies procedures for
calculating the correct, current LCF cycle count for the impeller and
HPC rotor on PW210A model turboshaft engines. ASB No. PW210-72-A57143
specifies procedures for calculating the correct, current LCF cycle
count for the impeller and HPC rotor installed on PW210S model
turboshaft engines.
    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.

Other Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-801
and Task 00-00-00-860-803 of Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Engine
Maintenance Manual (EMM), Manual Part No. 30L2392, Airworthiness
Limitations Section (ALS), both at Revision 13, dated September 28,
2020.
    Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-801 of Pratt &
Whitney Canada Corp. EMM, Manual Part No. 30L2392, identifies the LCF
life limits for the impeller and HPC rotor. Pratt & Whitney Canada
Corp. Task 00-00-00-860-803 of Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. EMM, Manual
Part No. 30L2392, specifies procedures for manually calculating the
correct, current LCF cycle count for the impeller and HPC rotor and
provides the formula for manually calculating the accumulated total
cycles for the impeller and HPC rotor.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require the use of the manual LCF counting
method in place of the ADTS counting method to determine the number of
cycles accrued by the impeller and HPC rotor.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this proposed AD would be an interim action.
If final action is later identified, the FAA might consider additional
rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 66 engines installed on helicopters of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
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.
    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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would 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

D. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency? Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e mail. You may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part or all of that information as CBI ( if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

E. What Should I Consider when I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible. 2.

If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity. 7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline in this notice. 8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation.

F. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested in?

Pursuant to section 3506( c)( 2)( A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility. 2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens of the proposed collections of information. 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected. 4. Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information technology, e. g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

II. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Action Apply to?

EPA is seeking comments on the following ICR: Title: Pre Manufacture Review Reporting and Exemption Requirements for New Chemical Substances and Significant New Use Reporting Requirements for Chemical Substances. ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0574.12, OMB Control No. 2070   0012. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 2004. 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,

VerDate jul< 14> 2003 18: 15 Dec 12, 2003 Jkt 203001 PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 15DEN1. SGM 15DEN1 69680 Federal Register / Vol. 68, No. 240 / Monday, December 15, 2003 / Notices after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. Abstract: Section 5 of the Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA) requires manufacturers and importers of new chemical substances to submit to EPA notice of intent to manufacture or import a new chemical substance 90 days before manufacture or import begins. EPA reviews the information contained in the notice to evaluate the health and environmental effects of the new chemical substance. On the basis of the review, EPA may take further regulatory action under TSCA, if warranted. If EPA takes no action within 90 days, the submitter is free to manufacture or import the new chemical substance without restriction. TSCA section 5 also authorizes EPA to issue Significant New Use Rules ( SNURs). EPA uses this authority to take follow up action on new or existing chemicals that may present an unreasonable risk to human health or the environment if used in a manner that may result in different and/ or higher exposures of a chemical to humans or the environment. Once a use is determined to be a significant new use, persons must submit a notice to EPA 90 days before beginning manufacture, processing, or importation of a chemical substance for that use. Such a notice allows EPA to receive and review information on such a use and, if necessary, regulate the use before it occurs. Finally, TSCA section 5 also permits applications for exemption from section 5 review under certain circumstances. An applicant must provide information sufficient for EPA to make a determination that the circumstances in question qualify for an exemption. In granting an exemption, EPA may impose appropriate restrictions. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory ( see 40 CFR parts 700, 720, 721, 723, and 725). Respondents may claim all or part of a document confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.

III. What are EPA's Burden and Cost Estimates for this ICR? Under PRA, `` 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. For this collection it 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; 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized in this notice. The annual public burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 102.1 hours per response and to require 3.4 hours of recordkeeping per response. The following is a summary of the estimates taken from the ICR: Respondents/ affected entities: 443. Estimated total number of potential respondents: Unknown. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated average number of responses for each respondent: 3. Estimated total annual burden hours: 163,791 hours. Estimated total annual burden costs: $ 34,348,733.

IV. Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?

This request reflects a decrease of 62,756 hours ( from 226,547 hours to 163,791 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease represents an adjustment in the number of annual submissions to reflect EPA's experiences since the most recent ICR. The decrease in the number of submissions per year is largely associated with the polymer and other exemptions implemented under the 1995 amendments.

V. What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5( a)( 1)( iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    The request to release property may be reviewed, by appointment, in
person at this same location.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA invites public comment on the
request to release approximately 330.78 acres consisting of
6 parcels of airport property at the Oskaloosa Municipal Airport (OOA)
under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47107(h)(2). On June 5, 2019, the
City Manager of the City of Oskaloosa requested from the FAA that
approximately 6 parcels of land totaling 330.78 acres of
property be released for sale in order to purchase land for a new
centrally located airport. On July 1, 2019, the FAA determined that the
request to release property at the Oskaloosa Municipal Airport (OOA)
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:
    The Oskaloosa Municipal Airport (OOA) is proposing the release of
airport property totaling 6 parcels totaling 330.78 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 Oskaloosa
Municipal Airport (OOA) 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 order

[Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0102 (HM-145O)]
RIN 2137-AE74

Hazardous Materials: Revision to the List of Hazardous Substances
and Reportable Quantities

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: PHMSA amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations by removing
saccharin and its salts from the list of hazardous substances and
reportable quantities. The Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act, requires PHMSA to list and regulate all
hazardous substances designated by statute or by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA). EPA recently removed saccharin and its salts
from their list of hazardous substances through notice and comment
rulemaking. This final rule simply harmonizes the lists to better
enable shippers and carriers to identify the affected hazardous
substances, comply with all applicable regulatory requirements, and
make required notifications if the release of a hazardous substance
occurs.

DATES: Effective Date: June 27, 2011.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dirk Der Kinderen<PHONE_NUMBER>,
Standards and Rulemaking Division, PHMSA, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE,
East Building, Washington, DC 20590-0001. Questions about hazardous
substance designations or reportable quantities should be directed to
the Office of Resource Conservation and Recovery, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Statutory Background

    Section 306(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA; 42 U.S.C. 9601-9675),
as amended by section 202 of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA; 42 U.S.C 11011 et seq.), requires
the Secretary of Transportation to regulate hazardous substances listed
or designated under Section 101(14) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601(14), as
hazardous materials under the Federal hazardous materials
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5128). PHMSA carries out the
rulemaking responsibilities of the Secretary of Transportation under
the Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 CFR 1.53(b).
This final rule is necessary to comply with 42 U.S.C. 9656(a), as
amended by Section 202 of SARA.
    In carrying out the statutory mandate, PHMSA has no discretion to
determine what is or is not a hazardous substance or the appropriate
reportable quantity (RQ) for materials designated as hazardous
substances. This authority is vested in EPA. In accordance with CERCLA
requirements, EPA must issue final rules amending the list of CERCLA
hazardous substances, including removing entries, before PHMSA can
amend the list of hazardous substances in the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). PHMSA periodically revises the
list of hazardous substances and RQs in the HMR as adjustments are made
by EPA.

II. Regulatory Actions

EPA Rulemaking

    EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for public
comment on April 22, 2010 (75 FR 20942) and a final rule December 17,
2010 (75 FR 78918) removing saccharin and its salts from the List of
Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities in 40 CFR 302.4 (Table
302.4) in response to a petition submitted to EPA. EPA received two
comments in response to the NPRM, one supportive of removing saccharin
and its salts from the list and one beyond the scope of the rulemaking.
The amendment includes the removal of both the product name (saccharin)
and the chemical name (1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one,1,1-dioxide). EPA
based its decision on a review of evaluations conducted by key public
health agencies concerning the carcinogenic and other potential
toxicological effects of saccharin and its salts, as well as their own
assessment of the waste generation and management information for
saccharin and its salts. This review/assessment demonstrated that
saccharin and its salts do not meet the criteria in their hazardous
waste regulations for remaining on EPA's lists of hazardous
constituents, hazardous wastes, and hazardous substances. Specifically,
EPA's listing of saccharin and its salts as a hazardous substance was
based solely upon the material being listed as hazardous wastes under
the Resource Conversation and Recovery Act (RCRA) (see 40 CFR
261.33(f)). Thus, by no longer being listed hazardous wastes, there was
no basis for retaining saccharin and its salts in Table 302.4.

PHMSA Rulemaking

    This final rule revises the ``List of Hazardous Substances and
Reportable Quantities'' that appears in Table 1 to Appendix A of Sec.
172.101 by removing the entry for saccharin and its salts (including
the chemical name and salts). This revision is being made for
consistency with EPA's December 17, 2010 final rule removing saccharin
and its salts from the List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable
Quantities in Table 302.4. This final rule will enable shippers and
carriers to properly identify CERCLA hazardous substances subject to
HMR and EPA requirements, and subsequent notifications if a release of
a hazardous substance occurs. In addition to the reporting requirements
of the HMR found in Sec. Sec.  171.15 and 171.16, a release of a
hazardous substance is subject to EPA notification requirements under
40 CFR 302.6 and may be subject to the reporting requirements of the
U.S. Coast Guard under 33 CFR 153.203.
    PHMSA is publishing this final rule without notice and public
procedure with good cause. As discussed in the ``EPA Action'' section
above, EPA revised the list of hazardous substances through notice and
public procedure. EPA has ultimate discretion when determining what is
or is not a hazardous substance. PHMSA is statutorily mandated to list
and regulate in the 49 CFR EPA's list of hazardous substances. Thus, it
is unnecessary for PHMSA to again provide notice and public procedure
to incorporate into the HMR the changes made by EPA.

III. Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking

    This rulemaking is issued under authority of the Federal hazardous
materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.), which authorizes
the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe
transportation, including security, of hazardous materials in
interstate, intrastate, and foreign commerce. This rulemaking is also
issued under Section 306(a) of the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA; 42 U.S.C.
9601-9675), as amended by section 202 of the Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA; 42 U.S.C 11011 et seq.), which
requires the Secretary of Transportation to regulate hazardous
substances listed or designated under Section 101(14) of

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9601(14), as hazardous materials under the Federal
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5128).

B. Executive Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, and DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not a significant rulemaking action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not reviewed
by the Office of Management and Budget. The rule is not considered
significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the
Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). This rulemaking conforms to
the intent of Executive Order 13563. This rulemaking relieves
regulatory burdens placed on shippers or carriers of saccharin and on
its salts that may be subject to regulation under the 49 CFR based on
being defined as a hazardous substance, and subsequent regulation as a
hazardous material by removing saccharin and its salts from the list of
hazardous substances found in Table 1 of Appendix A to 49 CFR 172.101.

C. Executive Order 13132

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This
final rule preempts State, local and Indian tribe requirements but does
not adopt any regulation that has substantial direct effects on the
States, the relationship between the national government and the
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, the consultation and funding
requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
    The Federal hazardous material transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101-
5128, contains an express preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) that
preempts State, local, and Indian tribe requirements on certain covered
subjects. Covered subjects are:
    (1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous
material;
    (2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and
placarding of hazardous material;
    (3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents
related to hazardous materials and requirements related to the number,
contents, and placement of those documents;
    (4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or
    (5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, inspection, marking,
maintenance, reconditioning, repair, or testing of a packaging or
container represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use
in transporting hazardous material.
    This final rule addresses covered subject items (1), (2), and (3)
above and would preempt State, local, and Indian tribe requirements not
meeting the ``substantively the same'' standard. This rule is required
by statute. Federal hazardous materials transportation law provides at
Sec. 5125(b)(2) that, if PHMSA issues a regulation concerning any of
the covered subjects, PHMSA must determine and publish in the Federal
Register the effective date of Federal preemption. The effective date
may not be earlier than the 90th day following the date of issuance of
the final rule and not later than two years after the date of issuance.
The effective date of Federal preemption for these requirements is
September 26, 2011.

D. Executive Order 13175

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule
does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial direct
compliance costs, and is required by statute, the funding and
consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
requires a Federal agency to assess the impact of a regulatory action
on small entities unless the agency determines that a rule is not
expected to have a significant impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The Regulatory Flexibility Act applies only to final rules
that are preceded by notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Because
this rule was not preceded by an NPRM, no assessment is required. EPA
addressed the Regulatory Flexibility Act when it made the hazardous
substances designation reflected in this rule.

F. Executive Order 13272 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule has been developed in accordance with Executive
Order 13272 (``Proper Consideration of Small Entities in Agency
Rulemaking'') and DOT's procedures and policies to promote compliance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure consideration of the
potential impact of a rulemaking on small entities.

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final rule does not impose any new information collection
burdens under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

H. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)

    A regulation identifier number (RIN) is assigned to each regulatory
action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. The
Regulatory Information Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in
April and October of each year. The RIN contained in the heading of
this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the
Unified Agenda.

I. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This final rule imposes no unfunded mandates under the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $140.8
million or more to either State, local or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector.

J. Privacy Act

    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments
received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's
complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on
April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477 through 19478) or you may visit http://www.dot.gov.

I. Environmental Assessment

    The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4347), requires a Federal agency to consider the
consequences of a major Federal action and prepare a detailed statement
on actions significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment. The revision made to the ``List of Hazardous Substances
and Reportable Quantities'' found in Table 1 of Appendix A to Sec.
172.101 in this final rule is not a major Federal action significantly
affecting the quality of the human environment.
    Releases of hazardous substances have the potential to cause
damages to the human environment. Releases can occur during any stage
of transportation (i.e., loading, transport, unloading, etc.). When a
release occurs, it may result in increased risk to public health and
the environment such as increased human exposure to carcinogens or
adverse impacts vegetation and wildlife surrounding the location of the
release. EPA believes that saccharin and its salts, based on the
results of reviews of available scientific information performed by
National Toxicology Program and the International Agency

for Research on Cancer, do not pose a present or potential risk of
causing toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic or teratogenic effects on humans
or other life forms. EPA believes the results, of these reviews as well
as their own assessment of waste generation and management information
for saccharin and its salts, indicate that saccharin and its salts do
not meet the criteria for listing as hazardous wastes under 40 CFR
261.11. EPA's listing of saccharin and its salts as a hazardous
substance under CERCLA (40 CFR 302.4) was based solely upon being
listed as hazardous wastes under RCRA (40 CFR 261.33(f)). Thus, we
conclude there is no significant environmental impact associated with
removing saccharin and its salts for the ``List of Hazardous Substances
and Reportable Quantities'' found in Table 1 to Appendix A of 49 CFR
172.101 in this final rule.
