[Docket ID FEMA-2014-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1441]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Title
44, Part 65 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR Part 65). The
LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will become effective on the
dates listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS
report in effect prior to this determination for the listed
communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90)
days in which to request through the community that the Deputy
Associate Administrator for Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in

this notice. However, the online location and local community map
repository address where the flood hazard determination information is
available for inspection is provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR Part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

2222.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information
collection requirements in accord with the

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting
burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly
understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is
accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act)
(29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.) authorizes information collection by employers
as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The
OSH Act also requires that OSHA obtain such information with minimum
burden upon employers, especially those operating small businesses, and
to reduce to the maximum extent feasible unnecessary duplication of
efforts in obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The Cranes and Derricks standard's information collection
requirements impose a duty on employers to produce and maintain records
that implement controls and take other measures to protect workers from
hazards related to cranes and derricks used in construction.
Accordingly, construction businesses with workers who operate or work
in the vicinity of cranes and derricks must have, as applicable, the
following documents on file and available at the job site: Equipment
ratings, employee training records, written authorizations from
qualified individuals, and program qualification audits. During an
inspection, OSHA will have access to the records to determine
compliance under conditions specified by the standard. An employer's
failure to generate and disclose the information required in this
standard will affect significantly the Agency's effort to control and
reduce injuries and fatalities related to the use of cranes and
derricks in construction.

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    The Agency is requesting an adjustment decrease of 36 burden hours
(from 386,066 to 386,030 burden hours). The decrease in burden hours is
due to errors in calculations. There is also an adjustment increase in
operation and maintenance costs of $103,775 from $2,183,970 to
2,287,745. The increase is mainly due to an increase in hourly wage
rates.
    OSHA will summarize the comments submitted in response to this
notice, and will include this summary in its request to OMB to extend
the approval of the information collection requirements contained in
the Cranes and Derricks Standard.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Cranes and Derricks in Construction (29 CFR part 1926,
subpart CC).
    OMB Control Number: 1218-0261.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 209,851.
    Total Responses: 2,737,482.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies from 30 seconds (communicate
employee's location to operator) to 1.5 hours (develop and document
written assembly and disassembly procedures).
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 386,030 hours.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $2,287,745.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[EPA-R09-OAR-2010-0172; FRL-9153-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Designation of
Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of California; PM-10;
Determination of Attainment for the Coso Junction Nonattainment Area;
Determination Regarding Applicability of Certain Clean Air Act
Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing its determination that the Coso Junction
nonattainment area (CJNA) has attained the 24-hour National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM-10). This
determination is based upon quality-assured and certified air quality
monitoring data for the PM-10 NAAQS from 2006-2008. In addition,
reported data in EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) show that the CJNA
continued to attain the PM-10 NAAQS through 2009 and preliminary data
available to date for 2010 show that the CJNA continues to attain.
Also, EPA is finalizing its determination that, because the CJNA has
attained the PM-10 NAAQS, the State's obligation to make submissions to
meet certain Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) requirements is not
applicable for as long as the CJNA continues to attain the PM-10 NAAQS.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on June 18, 2010.

III. Additional Preliminary Air Quality Data Since Proposed Rule
IV. EPA's Final Action
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Summary of Proposed Actions

    On March 23, 2010, EPA proposed to determine that the CJNA has
attained the 24-hour NAAQS for PM-10 (75 FR 13710). Our proposed
determination was based on complete, quality-assured and certified data
gathered at established state and local air monitoring stations (SLAMS)
in the nonattainment area and entered into the EPA AQS database for the
period 2006-2008. In addition, EPA found that quality-assured AQS data
showed that the CJNA continued to attain through 2009 and that
preliminary data then available for 2010 showed no exceedances of the
24-hour PM-10 NAAQS. Id.
    EPA also proposed, under its Clean Data Policy, to determine that
the obligation to submit certain CAA requirements was not applicable
for as long as the CJNA continued to attain the PM-10 NAAQS.
Specifically, we proposed that the State's obligation to submit the
following CAA requirements would be suspended if EPA finalized its
rulemaking: The part D, subpart 4 obligations to provide an attainment
demonstration pursuant to section 189(a)(1)(B), the reasonably
available control measure (RACM) provisions of 189(a)(1)(C), the
reasonable further progress (RFP) provisions established by section
189(c)(1), and the attainment demonstration, RACM, RFP and contingency
measure provisions of part D, subpart 1 contained in section 172 of the
Act.
    For a more detailed discussion of our proposed action, including
background topics, such as development of the PM-10 NAAQS, the
designation, classification and air quality planning history for the
CJNA; our Clean Data Policy; and our general requirements for making
attainment determinations, please refer to our proposed rule.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    EPA provided for a 30-day public comment period on our proposed
action. This period ended on April 22, 2010. We received no comments.

III. Additional Preliminary Air Quality Data Since Proposed Rule

    Subsequent to our proposal, and after the close of the comment
period, the Great Basin Unified Air Pollution Control District
(GBUAPCD) informed EPA that preliminary data showed two exceedances of
the 24-hour PM-10 standard were recorded at the CJNA monitor in March
2010, one on March 9, 2010 (222 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/
m\3\)) and another on March 18, 2010 (157 [mu]g/m\3\). See May 4, 2010
e-mail from Duane Ono, Deputy Air Pollution Control Officer, GBUAPCD,
to Doris Lo, Environmental Protection Specialist, EPA, with
CosoJunction2010--MetAndTEOM.xlsx attachment. The preliminary air
quality data for the first quarter of 2010 (January through March),
which contain these exceedances, have not been verified through the
GBUAPCD's data validation process, nor have they been entered into
EPA's AQS database. The GBUAPCD is still in the process of reviewing
the first quarter data which does not have to be submitted into the AQS
database until June 30, 2010. See 52 FR 24634 and 40 CFR 58.16(b).
    The preliminary 24-hour concentrations for March 9 and 18, if
confirmed after quality assurance and control procedures are completed,
would exceed the 24-hour PM-10 standard of 154 [mu]g/m\3\. 40 CFR
50.6.\1\ The District has also indicated that it may flag the March 9,
2010 exceedance for possible exclusion from consideration in a
determination of attainment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ An exceedance is defined as a daily value that is above the
level of the 24-hour standard (150 [mu]g/m\3\) after rounding to the
nearest 10 [mu]g/m\3\ (i.e., values ending in 5 or greater are to be
rounded up). Thus, a recorded value of 154 [mu]g/m\3\ would not be
an exceedance since it would be rounded down to 150 [mu]g/m\3\
whereas a recorded value of 155 [mu]g/m\3\ would be an exceedance
since it would be rounded up to 160 [mu]g/m\3\. See 40 CFR part 50,
appendix K, section 1.0.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The determination of whether an area has attained the PM-10
standard is based on the most recent three consecutive calendar years
of quality-assured data. As discussed above and in our proposed rule,
the CJNA has attained the PM-10 standard based on complete, quality-
assured and certified data for the three-year period 2006-2008

and data in AQS for the period 2007-2009. 75 FR 13710, 13712. These
quality-assured data show that the CJNA monitor has an expected number
of exceedances of less than or equal to one per year, averaged over the
three-year period.
    Because 2010 has not ended, EPA cannot determine whether the area
has attained the standard based on the three-year period from 2008
through 2010. We can, however, determine with less than three years of
data whether the CJNA has failed to attain in the period from 2008 to
date. See 40 CFR part 50, appendix K, section 2.3(c).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ While it is necessary to have three years of representative
monitoring data to demonstrate that a monitor is attaining the
standard, 40 CFR part 50, appendix K, section 2.3(c) states that
there are less stringent data requirements for showing that a
monitor has failed to attain. Since the 24-hour PM-10 standard is
violated once a monitor averages more than one expected exceedance
per year (averaged over three years), a monitor with four or more
observed or expected exceedances has violated the 24-hour NAAQS even
if there are fewer than three years of data (four exceedances
divided by three years is greater than one per year).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In 2008 there were no exceedances of the PM-10 NAAQS and in 2009
there was one exceedance on December 22, 2009. 75 FR 13710. If we
include the preliminary data showing two additional exceedances in
March 2010, the expected number of exceedances at the CJNA monitor
during the period from 2008 through 2010 would be three. Thus, even
with two additional exceedances in March 2010, the CJNA continues to
attain the PM-10 NAAQS to date because the CJNA monitor has an expected
number of exceedances of less than or equal to one per year, averaged
over the three-year period from 2008 through 2010.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The status of the preliminary exceedances may change after
the data validation process is concluded and after any flagging
issues are addressed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    While to date the CJNA continues to attain, EPA will continue to
assess the attainment status of the CJNA as additional data are
received, reviewed, and entered into the AQS database.

IV. EPA's Final Action

    Based on a three-year period (2006-2008) of complete, quality-
assured and certified data meeting the requirements of 40 CFR part 50,
appendix K, EPA is finalizing its determination that the CJNA has
attained the 24-hour PM-10 NAAQS. In addition, EPA's determination is
based on reported data in EPA's AQS database for 2009 showing that the
CJNA continued to attain the PM-10 NAAQS for the period 2007-2009, and
available preliminary data to date for 2010 that are consistent with
continued attainment.
    This determination of attainment of the PM-10 NAAQS for the CJNA
does not constitute a redesignation to attainment under CAA section
107(d)(3) because we have neither approved a maintenance plan as
required under section 175(A) of the CAA, nor determined that the area
has met the other CAA requirements for redesignation. The
classification and designation status in 40 CFR part 81 remains
moderate nonattainment for the CJNA until such time as California meets
the CAA requirements for redesignation of the CJNA to attainment.
    EPA is also finalizing its determination that, because the CJNA is
attaining the NAAQS, the obligation to submit the following CAA
requirements is not applicable for so long as the area continues to
attain the PM-10 standard: The part D, subpart 4 obligations to provide
an attainment demonstration pursuant to section 189(a)(1)(B), the RACM
provisions of 189(a)(1)(C), the RFP provisions established by section
189(c)(1), and the attainment demonstration, RACM, RFP and contingency
measure provisions of part D, subpart 1 contained in section 172 of the
Act. Subsequently, if we determine after notice and comment rulemaking
in the Federal Register that the CJNA has violated the standard (prior
to a redesignation to attainment), these requirements would once again
become applicable.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final action makes a determination of attainment based on air
quality and results in the suspension of certain Federal requirements,
and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the final action does not apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 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. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by July 19, 2010. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action 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 (see section 307(b)(2)).

FERC Form 73, Oil Pipeline Service Life Data

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0019.
    Abstract: The Commission has authority over interstate oil
pipelines as stated in the Interstate Commerce Act, 49 U.S.C. 6501, et
al. As part of the information necessary for the subsequent
investigation and review of an oil pipeline company's proposed
depreciation rates, the pipeline companies are required to provide
service life data as part of their data submissions if the proposed
depreciation rates are based on the remaining physical life
calculations. This service life data is submitted on FERC Form 73,
``Oil Pipeline Service Life Data''. The FERC Form 73 is used by the
Commission to implement the statutory provisions of Sections 306 and
402 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C. 7155 and
7172, and Executive Order No. 12009, 42 FR 46277 (September 13,
1977).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For FERC Form 73 filing instructions and materials, please
see http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/forms.asp#form73.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The submitted data are used by the Commission to assist in the
selection of appropriate service lives and book depreciation rates.
Book depreciation rates are used by oil pipeline companies to compute
the depreciation portion of their operating expense which is a
component of their cost of service which in turn is used to determine
the transportation rate to assess customers. FERC staff's recommended
book depreciation rates become legally binding when issued by
Commission order. These rates remain in effect until a subsequent
review is requested and the outcome indicates that a modification is
justified. The Commission implements these filings in 18 CFR parts 347
and 357.
    Type of Respondent: Oil Pipeline companies.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Commission staff thinks that respondents to the collection
are similarly situated in terms of salary and benefits. $76.50/hour
is the average of the salary plus benefits for FERC employees for
2017.

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0180.
    Abstract: The information is used by the Commission to implement
the statutory provisions of the Federal Power Act (FPA), 16 U.S.C.
791a-825r; the Natural Gas Act (NGA), 15 U.S.C. 717-717w; the Natural
Gas Policy Act (NGPA), 15 U.S.C. 3301-3432; the Public Utility

Continental Shelf Lands Act, 43 U.S.C. 1301-1356; and the Energy Policy
Act of 2005, (Pub. L. 109-58) 119 Stat. 594.
    For the natural gas industry, section 14(a) of the NGA \3\ provides
that the Commission may permit any person to file with it a statement
in writing, under oath or otherwise, as it shall determine, as to any
or all facts and circumstances concerning a matter which may be the
subject of an investigation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 717m; accord 15 U.S.C. 717d.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For public utilities, section 307(a) of the FPA \4\ provides that
the Commission may permit any person to file with it a statement in
writing, under oath or otherwise, as it shall determine, as to any or
all facts and circumstances concerning a matter which may be the
subject of an investigation.

    Section 215(d) (5) of the FPA \5\ provides that the Commission,
upon its own motion or upon complaint, may order the Electric
Reliability Organization to submit to the Commission a proposed
reliability standard or a modification to a reliability standard that
addresses a specific matter if the Commission considers such a new or
modified reliability standard appropriate to carry out this section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ 16 U.S.C. 824o(d)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For hydropower projects, section 19 of the FPA \6\ provides that,
as a condition of a license, jurisdiction is conferred upon the
Commission, upon complaint of any person aggrieved or upon its own
initiative, to exercise such regulation and control over services,
rates, and charges until such time as the State shall have provided a
commission or other authority for such regulation and control.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

sections 1, 6 and 15 (recodified by Pub. L. 95-473 and found as an
appendix to Title 49 U.S.C.),\8\ the Commission is authorized to
investigate the rates charged by oil pipeline companies subject to its
jurisdiction. If an oil rate has been filed and allowed by the
Commission to go into effect without suspension and hearing, the
Commission can investigate the effective rate on its own motion or by
complaint filed with the Commission. Section 13 of the ICA \9\ provides
that any person can file a complaint complaining of anything done or
omitted to be done by an oil pipeline.

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

    In Order No. 602,\10\ the Commission revised its regulations
governing complaints filed with the Commission under the above
statutes. Order No. 602 was designed to encourage and support
consensual resolution of complaints, and to organize the complaint
procedures so that all complaints are handled in a timely and fair
manner. In order to achieve this result, the Commission revised Rule
206 of its Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.206) to require
that a complaint satisfy certain informational requirements, to require
that answers be filed in a shorter, 20-day time frame, and to provide
that parties may employ various types of alternative dispute resolution
procedures to resolve their disputes.

    The data in complaints filed by interested/affected parties
regarding jurisdictional oil, natural gas, electric and hydropower
operations, facilities, and services are used by the Commission in
establishing a basis to make an initial determination regarding the
merits of the complaint and whether or not to undertake further
investigation. Investigations may range from whether there is undue
discrimination in rates or services to questions regarding market power
of regulated entities to environmental concerns. In order to make an
informed determination, it is important to know the specifics
underlying any oil, gas, electric, and hydropower complaint ``up-
front'' in a timely manner and in sufficient detail to allow the
Commission to act swiftly. In addition, such complaint data helps the
Commission and interested parties to monitor, e.g., the market for
undue discrimination or exercises of market power. The information is
voluntary but submitted pursuant to prescribed filing requirements. The
Commission implements these filing requirements in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) under 18 CFR parts 343 and 385.
    Type of Respondent: Interested/affected parties regarding oil,
natural gas, electric and hydropower operations, facilities, and
services.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
