Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2020-15-
20, which applied to certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041
airplanes. AD 2020-15-20 required revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations. This AD was prompted by a
determination that new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations
are necessary. This AD continues to require the actions in AD 2020-15-
20 and requires revising the existing maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or more
restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in a European Union
Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by reference.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective April 10, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of April 10,
2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of
October 2, 2020 (85 FR 53156, August 28, 2020).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 to supersede AD 2020-15-20, Amendment 39-21183 (85 FR
53156, August 28, 2020) (AD 2020-15-20). AD 2020-15-20 applied to
certain Airbus SAS Model A350-941 and -1041 airplanes. AD 2020-15-20
required revising the existing maintenance or inspection program, as
applicable, to incorporate new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations. The FAA issued AD 2020-15-20 to address safety-significant
latent failures that would, in combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic
failure condition.
    The NPRM published in the Federal Register on December 9, 2022 (87
FR 75525). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2022-0126, dated June 28, 2022,
issued by EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of
the European Union (EASA AD 2022-0126) (referred to after this as the
MCAI). The MCAI states that new or more restrictive airworthiness
limitations have been developed.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2022-1575.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to continue to require the actions in
AD 2020-15-20 and to require revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate additional new or
more restrictive airworthiness limitations, as specified in EASA AD
2022-0126. The FAA is issuing this AD to address safety-significant
latent failures that would, in combination with one or more other
specific failures or events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic
failure condition.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

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

Conclusion

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and determined
that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed. Accordingly, the
FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on this product.
Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is adopted as proposed in
the NPRM. None of the changes will increase the economic burden on any
operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EASA AD 2022-0126. This service information
specifies new or more restrictive airworthiness limitations for
certification maintenance requirements.
    This AD also requires EASA AD 2019-0288, dated November 28, 2019,
which the Director of the Federal Register approved for incorporation
by reference as of October 2, 2020 (85 FR 53156, August 28, 2020).
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 30 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the retained
actions from AD 2020-15-20 to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-
hour).
    The FAA has determined that revising the existing maintenance or
inspection program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator,
although the agency recognizes that this number may vary from operator
to operator. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection
program changes for their affected fleet(s), the FAA has determined
that a per-operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane
estimate.
    The FAA estimates the total cost per operator for the new actions
to be $7,650 (90 work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60687; File No. SR-Phlx-2009-59]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc.; Order
Approving Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2
Thereto, Relating to the Exchange's By-Laws, Regulatory Oversight
Committee and Referee Program

September 18, 2009.
    On July 27, 2009, NASDAQ OMX PHLX, Inc. (``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'')
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'')
pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to
modify its governance structure. On July 30, 2009, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change
was published for comment in the Federal Register on August 11,
2009.\3\ On September 9, 2009, the Exchange filed Amendment No. 2 to
the proposed rule change.\4\ The Commission received no comments
regarding the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change,
as modified by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 60431 (August 4,
2009), 74 FR 40265 (``Notice'').
    \4\ Amendment No. 2 is a technical amendment that reflects
approval of portions of the proposed rule change by the Exchange's
Board of Governors (``Board'') and therefore is not required to be
published for comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange seeks to conform several aspects of its governance
structure more closely to the governance structure of certain of its
affiliates, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (the ``NASDAQ Exchange'') and
NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc. (``BX''). Specifically, Phlx proposes to amend its
By-Laws to allow for the elimination of its audit and management
compensation committees. Phlx's audit committee is primarily charged
with: (1) Overseeing Phlx's financial reporting process; (2) overseeing
the systems of internal controls established by management and the
Exchange's Board, as well as the legal and compliance process; (3)
selection and evaluation of independent auditors; and (4) direction and
oversight of the internal audit function. Currently, the NASDAQ OMX
audit committee also performs these functions.\5\ Phlx proposes that
the responsibilities of its audit committee be performed by the NASDAQ
OMX audit committee \6\ and a new regulatory oversight committee to be
established by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Exchange states that the NASDAQ OMX audit committee has
broad authority to review the financial information that will be
provided to shareholders and others, systems of internal controls,
and audit, financial reporting and legal and compliance processes
and, because NASDAQ OMX's financial statements are prepared on a
consolidated basis that includes the financial results of NASDAQ
OMX's subsidiaries, including Phlx, the NASDAQ OMX audit committee's
purview necessarily includes these subsidiaries. In addition, the
Exchange states that the NASDAQ OMX audit committee currently is
charged with providing oversight of financial reporting and
independent auditor selection for NASDAQ OMX and all of its
subsidiaries, including Phlx, and the NASDAQ OMX audit committee has
general responsibility for oversight of internal controls and
direction and oversight of the internal audit function for NASDAQ
OMX and all of its subsidiaries. See Notice, 74 FR at 40266-67.
    \6\ According to the Exchange, the NASDAQ OMX audit committee is
composed of four or five directors, all of whom must be independent
under the standards established by Section 10A(m) of the Act and the
listing rules of The NASDAQ Exchange. See NASDAQ OMX Bylaws, Section
4.13(i); NASDAQ Exchange Rules, IM-5605-3. All committee members
must be able to read and understand financial statements, and at
least one member must have past employment experience in finance or
accounting, requisite professional certification in accounting, or
any other comparable experience or background that results in the
individual's financial sophistication. See NASDAQ Exchange Rules,
IM-5603-3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx also proposes to eliminate its compensation committee, and to
prescribe that its duties be performed by the NASDAQ OMX compensation
committee, or the full Phlx board when required. The NASDAQ OMX
compensation committee considers and recommends compensation policies,
programs, and practices for employees of NASDAQ OMX. According to Phlx,
some employees performing work for Phlx are also employees of NASDAQ
OMX, and certain senior officers of Phlx are also officers of NASDAQ
OMX and other NASDAQ OMX subsidiaries because their responsibilities
relate to multiple entities within the NASDAQ OMX corporate structure.
As a result, NASDAQ OMX establishes compensation and compensation
policy for these employees. To the extent that policies, programs, and
practices must be established for any Phlx officers or employees who
are not also NASDAQ OMX officers or employees, Phlx states that the
Phlx Board will perform such actions without the use of a compensation
committee, subject to recusal by the chief executive officer and the
Stockholder Governor.
    The Exchange also proposes to create a regulatory oversight
committee (``ROC'') composed of three members, each of whom would be an
Independent Governor.\7\ The Exchange's ROC would carry out regulatory
oversight tasks formerly performed by the audit committee. More
specifically, the ROC would oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of
Phlx's regulatory and self-regulatory organization responsibilities;
assess Phlx's regulatory performance; and assist the Board and its
standing committees in reviewing the regulatory plan and the overall
effectiveness of Phlx's regulatory functions. Its duties would include
reviewing Phlx's regulatory budget and inquiring into the adequacy of
resources available in the budget for regulatory activities; meeting
regularly with Phlx's chief regulatory officer in executive session;
and being informed about the compensation and promotion or termination
of the chief regulatory officer and the corresponding justifications
for such actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Phlx Bylaws, Article I(p) for the definition of
``Independent Governor.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, Phlx stated that, like the NASDAQ Exchange's
regulatory oversight committee, the proposed ROC will have broad
authority to oversee the adequacy and effectiveness of Phlx's
regulatory and self-regulatory organization responsibilities, and will
therefore be able to maintain oversight over controls in tandem with
the NASDAQ OMX audit committee's responsibilities.\8\ In this regard,
Phlx noted that it is already the practice of NASDAQ OMX's Internal
Audit Department, which performs internal audit functions for all
NASDAQ OMX subsidiaries, to report to the Phlx Board on all internal
audit matters relating to Phlx, and that this practice would be
formally reflected in the Department's written procedures.\9\ Phlx also
represented that, to ensure that the Phlx board retains authority to
direct the Department's activities with respect to Phlx, the
Department's written procedures will be amended to stipulate that the
ROC may, at any time, direct the Department to conduct an audit of a
matter of concern to it and report the results of the audit both to the
ROC and the NASDAQ OMX audit committee.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Notice, 74 FR at 40266.
    \9\ See id.
    \10\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Phlx also proposes to codify in its By-Laws a description of the
position of chief regulatory officer. Article V, Section 5-6 of the By-
Laws would provide that the chief regulatory officer will have general
supervision of Phlx's regulatory operations, including the
responsibility for overseeing its surveillance, examination, and
enforcement functions and for

administering any regulatory services agreements with another self-
regulatory organization to which the Exchange is a party. The revised
By-Laws would require the chief regulatory officer to meet with the
regulatory oversight committee in executive session at regularly
scheduled meetings, and at any time upon request of the chief
regulatory officer or any member of the committee.
    Finally, Phlx proposes to replace its Referee with an Options Trade
Review Committee, and, as more fully described in the Notice, make
conforming changes to the Exchange's rules and one of its Options Floor
Procedure Advices. Currently, the Exchange's By-Laws and rules provide
that the Referee is an Exchange employee (or independent contractor),
supervised by the audit committee, who reviews Options Exchange
Official rulings concerning the nullification and/or adjustment of
transactions. In addition, the Referee can act in the capacity of an
Options Exchange Official respecting initial rulings concerning
requests for relief from the requirements of certain Exchange rules,
Equity Floor Procedure Advices and Option Floor Procedure Advices. The
proposed new Options Trade Review Committee would review Options
Exchange Official rulings, but would not act in the capacity of an
Options Exchange Official, even though the Referee was able to do so.
In light of the time sensitivity of rendering trading decisions, the
Exchange would allow the Options Trade Review Committee to act through
a panel with a minimum of three committee members, of which no more
than 50% may be engaged in market making activity or employed by an
Exchange Member Organization whose revenues from market making activity
exceed 10% of its total revenues. When needed, a panel would be
selected by Exchange regulatory staff from the Committee members on a
rotating basis, taking into consideration availability and prompt
response as well as frequency of service, and the importance of
assembling a panel quickly. Appeals of Options Exchange Official
decisions would be presented to the panel on an anonymous basis to
reduce the risk of conflict or bias. Committee decisions, like Referee
decisions, would not be appealable.
    The Options Trade Review Committee would be appointed by the
Exchange's Board pursuant to new By-Law Article X, Section 10-10 as a
standing committee of the Board and would include a number of Member
Representative members equal to at least 20% of the total number of
members of the Committee. No more than 50% of committee members can be
engaged in market making activity or employed by an Exchange Member
Organization whose revenues from market making activity exceed 10% of
its total revenues.

II. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change is consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder applicable to a national securities
exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the proposed
rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(1) of the Act,\12\ which
requires a national securities exchange to be so organized and have the
capacity to carry out the purposes of the Act and to comply, and to
enforce compliance by its members and persons associated with its
members, with the provisions of the Act. The Commission also finds that
the proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\13\ in that it is designed, among other things, to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the
mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system, and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission
notes that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78(b)(1).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds that the proposed elimination of the Phlx's
audit and management compensation committees is consistent with the
Act. The Commission previously approved a structure in which certain
committees of the board of directors of NYSE Euronext, including the
audit and compensation committees, were authorized to perform functions
for various subsidiaries, including the New York Stock Exchange, LLC
(``NYSE'').\14\ More recently, the Commission approved proposals by the
NASDAQ Exchange and BX to eliminate their respective audit and
compensation committees.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55293 (February 14,
2007), 72 FR 8033 (February 22, 2007) (SR-NYSE-2006-120).
    \15\ See Securities Exchange Act Release Nos. 60276 (July 9,
2009), 74 FR 34840 (July 17, 2009) (SR-NASDAQ-2009-042) and 60247
(July 17, 2009), 74 FR 33495 (July 13, 2009) (SR-BX-2009-021).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission further finds that the elimination of the Referee
position and its replacement with the Options Trade Review Committee is
consistent with the Act. The compositional requirements for the
Committee and committee panels, the rotating service of panel members,
and the anonymous presentation of appeals of Options Exchange Official
decisions to a panel of the Committee are designed to assure impartial
review of those decisions.
    Finally, the Commission finds that the proposals relating to
codifying the position of chief regulatory officer and creating a
regulatory oversight committee to oversee all regulatory initiatives
are designed to allow the Exchange to carry out its regulatory
obligations and are consistent with the Act.

III. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\16\ that the proposed rule change (SR-Phlx-2009-59), as modified
by Amendment Nos. 1 and 2, be, and it hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets,
pursuant to delegated authority.\17\

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP07-367-000]

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Application

May 16, 2007.
    Take notice that on May 3, 2007, Columbia Gas Transmission
Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle Avenue, SE., Charleston, West
Virginia 25314, filed an application in Docket No. CP07-367-000,
pursuant to sections 7(b) and 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act for a
certificate of public convenience and necessity authorizing it to
construct and operate facilities located in Ohio, West Virginia, and
Virginia, for its Eastern Market Expansion (EME) Project. This filing
is available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room
or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov

using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last
three digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,

contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    As part of the EME project, Columbia is seeking authorization to
construct approximately 15.26 miles of pipeline, drill 9 new wells and
recondition 14 existing wells at the Crawford, Coco A, and Coco C
storage fields, install 12,280 horsepower at the Lanham, Lost River,
and Seneca compressor stations, and upgrade various existing delivery
points. When completed, the facilities will allow Columbia to provide
up to 97,050 Dth per day of firm storage service, all as more fully set
forth in the

application which is on file with the Commission and open for public
inspection. Columbia, also, proposes to accelerate replacement and
reliability facility construction originally scheduled to occur within
5 years at the three compressor sites. This construction will involve
replacing 22,460 horsepower of existing compressor facilities, and be
done at the same time as the EME units are installed.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to
Fredric K. George, Lead Counsel, Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation,
P.O. Box 1273, Charleston, West Virginia 25325-1273 at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On September 25, 2006, the Commission staff granted Columbia's
request to utilize the Commission's Pre-Filing Process and assigned
Docket No. PF06-35-000 to staff activities involving Columbia's EME
project. Now, as of the filing of Columbia's application on May 3,
2007, the Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended. From this time
forward, Columbia's proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP07-
367-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: June 6, 2007.

Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
(rat)
46904504 (2006)
Acceptable/guideline
2 or 100 mg/kg bw (single)
2 mg/kg bw (repeat)
Absorption:  89-98% after 48 hrs (no significant differences among low dose, high dose, and repeated dose tests).
Distribution:  AUC0-infinity (measure of systemic exposure) slightly higher for males than females; <0.2% of administered dose detected in body 48 hrs after sacrifice; highest equivalent concentrations detected in liver and kidney.
Metabolism:  parent compound undetected in urine and feces of all tests; main metabolic reaction was cleavage of the ester group which resulted in formation of the primary metabolite BYI 08330-enol (53-87% of administered dose); all other identified metabolites could be derived from enol; male rats exhibited much higher rates of demethylation of BYI 08330-enol to BYI 08330-desmethyl-enol (25-37%) vs. females rats (5-10%).
Excretion:  88-95% of administered dose eliminated via urine and 2-11% via feces within 48 hrs.
870.7485

Metabolism and pharmacokinetics
(rat)
46904561 (2006)
Acceptable/guideline
2 or 1000 mg/kg bw (single)
At 1000 mg/kg bw:  Absorption and excretion less than low dose, with 27% of dose excreted in urine after 24 hours (18% in feces); plasma radioactivity slightly higher than in liver and kidney; these results are consistent with saturation of cellular transport mechanisms.  Tissue radioactivity decreased from 1 to 24 hours post dose.  Metabolism profile qualitatively similar to that of the low-dose group; BYI 08330-enol was most prominent metabolite; similar to low-dose group, BYI 08330-desmethyl-enol levels greater in urine than in plasma and organs.

MEMORANDUM

To:		Docket EPA - HQ - OAR - 2016 - 0490

From: 	Karen Marsh, U.S. EPA, OAQPS, Sector Policies and Programs Division

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subject:	Discussion of Proposed POTW NESHAP with NYC Department of Environmental Protection (NYC-DEP)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 	January 4, 2017
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On January 4, 2017, Karen Marsh had a telephone discussion with Wayne Kuang of New York City Department of Environmental Protection (NYC-DEP) to discuss NYC-DEP's comments on the proposed revisions to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). NYC-DEP owns and operates 2 POTW that are subject to the 1999 NESHAP. These include the Coney Island (Group 2) and North River (Group 2) treatment plants. Below is a summary of the topics discussed during the telephone conversation.

Mr. Kuang stated that both POTW conduct annual monitoring and ToxChem emissions modeling as required in their operating permit issued by the DEP. He indicated that the monthly sampling requirement that was proposed would be an additional burden that EPA had not accounted for in the cost estimated for the proposed rule. Mr. Kuang also stated that most of the HAP listed in Table 1 of 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD are only found in concentrations below the detection limit of these pollutants. Mr. Kuang stated there is no technical merit for treating any of these pollutants at such low concentrations.

Mr. Kuang also indicated that the reason both POTW are subject to the rule is because they have engines that have potential emissions of formaldehyde above 10 tons per year (tpy). These engines utilize digester gas from the digesters onsite for energy and are exempt from emission standards in 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZ. He indicated that it was overly burdensome to require additional standards on wastewater units when the only reason they are subject to the rule is because of their engines that do not actually have any control requirements. Mr. Kuang indicated they are evaluating their operating practices with the engines and could potentially take a permit limit to maintain the formaldehyde emissions below 10 tpy. He asked if taking this limit would remove them from being subject to the POTW NESHAP. EPA indicated they would examine this question in detail to determine how "once in always in" might apply in this situation. EPA further requested that Mr. Kuang include these comments in his formal submission to the docket.

    Abstract: EPA created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help
businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior
energy efficiency. The program focuses on reducing utility-generated
emissions by reducing the demand for energy. In 1991, EPA launched the
Green Lights Program to encourage corporations, state and local
governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to
adopt energy-efficient lighting as a profitable means of preventing
pollution and improving lighting quality. Since then, EPA has rolled
Green Lights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass
organization-wide energy performance improvement, such as building
technology upgrades, product purchasing initiatives, and employee
training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting
requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for
improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program).
    To join ENERGY STAR, organizations are asked to complete a
Partnership Letter or Agreement that establishes their commitment to
energy efficiency. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as
measuring, tracking, and benchmarking their organization's energy
performance by using tools such as those offered by ENERGY STAR;
developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in
their facilities and operations by adopting a strategy provided by
ENERGY STAR; and educating staff and the public about their Partnership
with ENERGY STAR, and highlighting achievements with the ENERGY STAR,
where available. In addition, Partners and any other interested party
can evaluate the efficiency of their buildings using EPA's online tools
(e.g., Portfolio Manager) and apply for recognition.

    Respondents/affected entities: Entities affected by this action are
participants in EPA's ENERGY STAR Program in the Commercial and
Industrial Sectors.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 51,515 (total).
    Frequency of response: One-time, annually, or on occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 254,084 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b)
    Total estimated cost: $21,784,161 (per year), includes $10,827,727
in annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 59,575 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to program growth.
