SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This supplementary information is organized
as follows:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This proposed rulemaking would apply to concentrated animal feeding
operations (CAFOs) as defined in the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) regulations at 40 CFR 122.23(b)(2), pursuant
to section 502(14) of the Clean Water Act (``CWA''). An animal feeding
operation (AFO) is a CAFO if it meets the regulatory definition of a
Large or Medium CAFO (40 CFR 122.23(b)(4) or (6)) or has been
designated as a CAFO (40 CFR 122.23(c)) by the NPDES permitting
authority or by EPA. The following table provides the size thresholds
for Large, Medium and Small CAFOs in each animal sector.

                            Table 1--Summary of CAFO Size Thresholds for All Sectors
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Sector                        Large                Medium \1\                 Small \2\

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes:
\1\ May be designated or must meet one of the following two criteria to be defined as a medium CAFO: (A)
  Discharges pollutants through a man-made device; or (B) directly discharges pollutants into waters of the
  United States which pass over, across, or through the facility or otherwise come into direct contact with the
  confined animals. 40 CFR 122.23(b)(6).
\2\ Not a CAFO by regulatory definition, but may be designated as a CAFO on a case-by-case basis. 40 CFR
  122.23(b)(9).

    That table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by this
proposed rulemaking. The table lists the types of entities that EPA is
currently aware of that could be regulated by this action. Other types
of entities not listed in the table could also be CAFOs. The owners or
operators of AFOs that have not been designated and that do not confine
the required number of animals to meet the definition of a Large or
Medium CAFO are not required to submit information.
    To determine whether your operation is a CAFO, you should carefully
examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 122.23. If you have
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the person listed in the preceding FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

    3. Submitting Confidential Business Information.
    Do not submit CBI information to EPA through www.regulations.gov or
email. Clearly mark the part of or all the information that you claim
to be CBI. For CBI information on a disk or CD ROM that you mail to
EPA, 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 claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes 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. Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part
2.

II. Extension of Comment Period for the NPDES CAFO Reporting Rule

A. Proposed NPDES CAFO Reporting Rule

    On October 21, EPA published in the Federal Register the proposed
NPDES CAFO Reporting Rule for public comment. EPA is requesting public
comment on the proposed rule options for gathering the information
identified in the proposal and the alternative approaches to achieve
water quality protection. Copies of the proposal are available on EPA's
Web site at http://www.epa.gov/npdes/regulations/cafo_fr_proposed_reporting_rule.pdf. More information regarding the NPDES permitting
program for CAFOs can be found at http://cfpub.epa.gov/npdes/home.cfm?program_id=7.

B. Extension of Comment Period

    EPA is extending the deadline for submitting comments on the
proposed NPDES CAFO Reporting Rule to January 19, 2012. The original
deadline for comments, based on a 60-day comment period, was December
20, 2012. EPA's decision responds to a request from several
organizations to extend the comment deadline in order to provide a
longer period of time in which to provide comments. EPA believes that
this 30-day extension will assist in providing an adequate amount of
additional time for these organizations as well as other members of the
public to review the proposal and to provide written comments.

Airworthiness Directives; Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (ECD) Model BO-105A, BO-105C, and
BO-105S helicopters. This proposed AD is prompted by initial findings
from an accident investigation of an ECD Model BO 105 helicopter which
indicated deterioration of the main gearbox (MGB) caused by a
contaminated oil supply. The proposed actions are intended to detect
oil contamination in the MGB, which if not detected, could result in
MGB deterioration, MGB failure, and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 10, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued AD No.:
2011-0091, dated May 18, 2011 (AD 2011-0091), which supersedes EASA AD
No.: 2010-0223, dated October 26, 2010 (AD 2010-0223), to correct an
unsafe condition for all ECD BO105 A, BO105 C, BO105 D, and BO105 S
helicopters. EASA advises that in 2010, an accident occurred with a
BO105 helicopter and the initial findings indicated that ``the event
was linked with'' a deterioration of the MGB due to a contaminated oil
supply. EASA states this condition, if not detected, could lead to MGB
failure and consequent loss of control of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
the EASA AD. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known
relevant information and determined that an unsafe condition is likely
to exist or develop on other helicopters of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    ECD issued Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) BO105-10-125, dated
September 2, 2010 (BO105-10-125), which specifies a one-time inspection
of the MGB magnetic plug/chip detector (magnetic plug) and oil filter,
and revised criteria for the corrective action to be taken as a result
of the inspection. EASA issued AD 2010-0223, mandating the requirements
of BO105-10-125 and applying the revised criteria to future MGB
magnetic plug inspections.
    Since that AD was issued, it was determined that repetitive
inspections of the magnetic plug and oil filter are necessary. ECD
revised the ASB and issued ASB BO105-10-125, Revision 1, dated April 4,
2001 (BO105-10-125R1), which retains the requirements of BO105-10-125
and requires an inspection of the magnetic plug every 10 flight hours
and an inspection of the oil filter every 100 flight hours. EASA
classified this ASB as mandatory and issued AD 2011-0091, which
supersedes AD 2010-0223.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require inspecting the MGB oil filter and
MGB magnetic plug. If the MGB oil filter or MGB magnetic plug contains
metallic fuzz, depending on the amount of metallic fuzz, this proposed
AD would require cleaning the magnetic plug, flushing the main
transmission, changing the oil, and performing a ground run. If the MGB
oil filter or MGB magnetic plug contains a chip, this proposed AD would
require replacing the main transmission with an airworthy main
transmission, and cleaning the oil cooler and oil lines. This proposed
AD would also require repeating the MGB magnetic plug inspection every
10 hours time-in-service (TIS), and repeating the MGB oil filter
inspection every 100 hours TIS.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Model BO105 D helicopters; the proposed AD
does not as this model is not type certificated in the U.S.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 97 helicopters of
U.S. Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs
in order to comply with this AD. Inspecting and cleaning the magnetic
plug and oil filter would require approximately 2 work-hours at an
average labor rate of $85 per hour, for a total cost per inspection
cycle of $170 per helicopter and a total cost to the U.S. operator
fleet of $16,490. Flushing the main transmission, performing a ground
run, and re-inspecting the MGB oil filter and magnetic plug would
require approximately 4 work-hours at an average labor rate of $85 per
hour, for a cost per helicopter of $340. Replacing the main
transmission would require approximately 40 work-hours at an average
labor rate of $85 per hour, and required parts would cost $225,000, for
a total cost per helicopter of $228,400.

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.
    We are 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

    We 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, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. 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.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new
Airworthiness Directive (AD):

Eurocopter Deutschland GMBH: Docket No. FAA-2012-0503; Directorate
Identifier 2011-SW-032-AD.

(a) Applicability

    This AD applies to Model BO-105A, BO-105C, and BO-105S
helicopters, certificated in any category.

(b) Unsafe Condition

    This AD defines the unsafe condition as deterioration of the
main gearbox (MGB) caused by oil contamination. This condition could
result in MGB failure and subsequent loss of control of the
helicopter.

(c) Compliance

    You are responsible for performing each action required by this
AD within the specified compliance time unless it has already been
accomplished prior to that time.

(d) Required Actions

    (1) Within 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) or 3 months, or at
the next scheduled MGB magnetic plug/chip detector (magnetic plug)
inspection, whichever occurs first, and thereafter at intervals not
to exceed 100 hours TIS, inspect the MGB oil filter for chips and
the MGB magnetic plug for fine particles (magnetic fuzz) or chips. A
``chip'' is a solid piece of metal but not metallic fuzz.
    (i) If there are no chips on the MGB oil filter or on the
magnetic plug, and the metallic fuzz covers less than 25% of the
magnetic plug, clean the magnetic plug.
    (ii) If there are no chips on the MGB oil filter or on the
magnetic plug, but the metallic fuzz covers 25% or more of the
magnetic plug, flush the main transmission, change the oil, perform
a ground run for 15 minutes at the flight-idle power setting, and
then re-inspect the MGB oil filter and magnetic plug for a chip and
the quantity of metallic fuzz on the metallic plug.
    (iii) If there is a chip on the MGB oil filter or on the
magnetic plug, or, after complying with paragraph (d)(1)(ii) of this
AD, metallic fuzz covers 25% or more of the magnetic plug, replace
the main transmission with an airworthy main transmission and clean
the oil cooler and oil lines.
    (2) At intervals not to exceed 10 hours TIS, inspect the
magnetic plug for a chip or metallic fuzz in accordance with the
requirements of paragraph (d)(1) of this AD.

(e) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOC)

    (1) The Manager, Safety Management Group, FAA, may approve AMOCs
for this AD. Send your proposal to: Rao Edupuganti, Aerospace
Engineer, FAA, Rotorcraft Directorate, Regulations and Policy Group,
2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, Texas 76137, telephone (817) 222-

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2018-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1800]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before April 24, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1800, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email) [email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
[email protected]; or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found

online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
