33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-1021]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone for Fireworks Display; Spa Creek, Annapolis, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a temporary safety zone
for certain waters of Spa Creek. This action is necessary to provide
for the safety of life on these navigable waters of Spa Creek at
Annapolis, MD, during a fireworks display on December 31, 2018. This
proposed rulemaking would prohibit persons and vessels from being in
the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Maryland-
National Capital Region or a designated representative. We invite your
comments on this proposed rulemaking.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before December 12, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-1021 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Mr. Ron Houck, Sector Maryland-
National Capital Region Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast
Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On October 17, 2018, Pyrotecnico, Inc., of New Castle, PA, notified
the Coast Guard that it will be conducting a fireworks display from
11:55 p.m. on December 31, 2018 to 12:30 a.m. on January 1, 2019,
sponsored by the City of Annapolis, MD. The fireworks are to be
launched from a barge in Spa Creek, in Annapolis, MD. Additional
details were received on November 5, 2018. Hazards from the fireworks
display include accidental discharge of fireworks, dangerous
projectiles, and falling hot embers or other debris. The Captain of the
Port Maryland-National Capital Region (COTP) has determined that
potential hazards associated with the fireworks to be used in this
display would be a safety concern for anyone within 400 feet of the
fireworks barge.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to ensure the safety of vessels
on the navigable waters within 400 feet of the fireworks barge on Spa
Creek before, during, and after the scheduled event. The Coast Guard
proposes this rulemaking under authority in 33 U.S.C. 1231.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a temporary safety zone in Spa Creek
from 11 p.m. on December 31, 2018 through 1 a.m. on January 1, 2019.
The safety zone would cover all navigable waters within 400 feet of the
fireworks barge in Spa Creek within 400 feet of the fireworks barge in
approximate position latitude 38[deg]58'32.48'' N, longitude
076[deg]28'57.55'' W, located at Annapolis, MD. The duration of the
safety zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels and these
navigable waters before, during, and after the scheduled fireworks
display. No vessel or person would be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. The regulatory text we are proposing appears at the end
of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and

Executive orders and we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. Although vessel traffic
will not be able to safely transit around this safety zone, the impact
would be for 2 hours during the evening when vessel traffic in Spa
Creek is normally low. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a safety
zone lasting two hours that would prohibit entry within a portion of
Spa Creek. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A preliminary Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it expands the availability of area navigation routes in
the northeastern United States to enhance the efficient flow of air
traffic.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective
September 15, 2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this proposed rule. FAA Order 7400.11A
lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service
routes, and reporting points.

Background

    The Atlantic Coast Route Project (ACRP) is the first phase of FAA's
plan to implement a PBN route structure across the U.S. It would
consist primarily of North/South oriented, high-altitude RNAV routes (Q
routes) extending from New England to Southern Florida and linking to
the Caribbean. The eastern seaboard is an

area containing heavily traveled and constricted airspace.
    ACRP aims to couple the stakeholder desire for route flexibility
with the route structure needed to support higher air traffic demand
levels. As a continuation of FAA's commitment to streamline the
National Airspace System (NAS) and realize the benefits of PBN
advancements, ARCP seeks to establish a framework for the effective
transition away from the less efficient jet route system that is
constricted by the current ground-based navigation infrastructure.
    The ACRP, itself, would be implemented in two phases. The first
phase would establish routes primarily in airspace in the northeastern
U.S. that is controlled by Boston Air Route Traffic Control Center
(ARTCC) and New York ARTCC. Phase 2 would implement new routes from
south of New York ARTCC's airspace to the Caribbean area through
separate rulemaking action.
    Key guidelines driving the scope of the ACRP effort include:
    Reduce the overall route structure;
    Reduce ATC facility sector complexity and controller workload;
    Reduce flying miles; and
    Maintain or improve ATC facility sector throughput.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 12 new Q-routes along the
Atlantic Coast, in the northeastern U.S. The new routes, designated Q-
75, Q-97, Q-167, Q-220, Q-411, Q-419, Q-430, Q-437, Q-439, Q-445, Q-450
and Q-479, would improve NAS efficiency and facilitate the transition
from the current jet route system along the Atlantic Coast of the U.S.
The proposed routes' end points are listed below. Full route
descriptions are in ``The Proposed Amendment'' section of this notice.
    Q-75: The route would extend between Greensboro, NC, and the
Boston, MA, area.
    Q-97: The route would extend between the HEADI, NJ WP, and the
Qubis Canada WP just north of the Maine border.
    Q-167: The route would extend between the YAZUU fix (off the coast
of New Jersey) and the SSOXS fix south of Boston, MA.
    Q-220: The route would extend between the RIFLE fix (south of Long
Island, NY) and the LARIE WP over Cape Cod, MA.
    Q-411: The route would extend between the Robbinsville, NJ, VORTAC
and the FOXWD WP, CT.
    Q-419: The route would extend between the Robbinsville, NJ, VORTAC
and the Deer Park, NY VOR/DME.
    Q-430: The route would extend between the COPES, PA, fix and the
Nantucket, MA, VOR/DME.
    Q-437: The route would extend between the VILLS, NJ, fix and the
KOSPE, VT, fix.
    Q-439: The route would extend between the BRIGS, NJ, fix and the
Presque Isle, ME, VOR/DME.
    Q-445: The route would extend between the BRIGS, NJ, fix and the
KYSKY, NY, fix (south of Long Island, NY).
    Q-450: The route would extend between the HNNAH, NJ, fix and the
Deer Park, NY, VOR/DME.
    Q-479: The route would extend between the LEEAH, NJ, fix and the
PONCT, NY, WP.
    In addition to adding the 12 new Q-Routes, the FAA proposes to
amend existing route Q-480 by adding two new waypoints (WP), KYLOH, NH
and BEEKN, ME, along the current route between the Barnes, MA, VORTAC
and the Kennebunk, ME, VOR/DME. This would provide connectivity and
facilitate transitions between Q-480 and the new routes Q-97 and Q-439.
    RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order 7400.11A
dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes listed in
this document will be subsequently published in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

    Title: Carriage of Bulk Solids Requiring Special Handling--46 CFR
part 148.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-0025.
    Summary: As specified in 46 CFR part 148, the petition for a

carriage for unlisted materials. The information required by Dangerous
Cargo Manifests and Shipping Papers permit vessel crews and emergency
personnel to properly and safely respond to accidents involving
hazardous substances. See 46 CFR 148 Subpart B and 148.60 and 148.70.
    Need: The Coast Guard administers and enforces statutes and rules
for the safe transport and stowage of hazardous materials, including
solids.
    Forms: None.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of vessels that carry certain
bulk solids.
    Frequency: On occasion.
    Hour Burden Estimate: The estimated burden has decreased from 955
hours to 850 hours a year due to a decrease in the estimated annual
number of responses for Special Permits.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C.
Chapter 35, as amended.

    Dated: July 18, 2017.

[Docket No. 2015-0124]

Potential Benefits and Feasibility of Voluntary Compliance;
Public Listening Sessions

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of public listening sessions.

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

SUMMARY: The FMCSA announces that it will hold two public listening
sessions, on January 12 and 31, 2016, to solicit information on the
potential benefits and feasibility of voluntary compliance and ways to
credit carriers and drivers who initiate and establish programs that
promote safety beyond the standards established in FMCSA regulations.
The recently enacted Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act
mandates that the FMCSA Administrator allow recognition for a motor
carrier that installs advanced safety equipment, enhanced driver
fitness measures, fleet safety management tools, technologies, and
programs and other standards for use by motor carriers to receive
recognition, including credit or an improved Safety Measurement System
(SMS) percentile. FMCSA is soliciting comment to develop a process for
identifying and reviewing these opportunities to provide credit to
those carriers and drivers who go above and beyond the regulatory
requirements. The listening sessions are intended to provide interested
parties with an opportunity to share their views on this topic with
Agency representatives, along with any data or analysis they may have.
All comments will be transcribed and placed in the docket referenced
above for FMCSA's consideration. The entire proceedings of both
meetings will be webcast.

DATES: The listening sessions will be held on Tuesday, January 12,
2016, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., Local
Time, and on Sunday, January 31, 2016, from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.,
Local Time. If all interested parties have had the opportunity to
comment, the sessions may conclude early.

ADDRESSES: The January 12 listening session will be held at the
Kentucky International Convention Center, Room 108, 221 Fourth St.,
Louisville, KY 40202. The January 31 session will be held at the
Georgia World Congress Center, Building C, 285 Andrew Young
International Blvd. NW., Atlanta, GA. In addition to attending the
session in person, the Agency offers several ways to provide comments,

I. Background

    The trucking and bus industries and the U.S. Department of
Transportation have invested in the research, development, and testing
of strategies and technologies to reduce truck and bus crashes. In
September 2014, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) submitted
a request to FMCSA to consider initiating a pilot program to
investigate the benefits and feasibility of a voluntary compliance
program. Citing research that has been underway for several years, the
Agency established an Alternative Compliance team in December 2014, the
goal of which was to analyze the concept and gather data to support how
it might be developed and implemented.
    On March 30-31, 2015, the Agency's Motor Carrier Safety Advisory
Committee (MCSAC) deliberated on the potential benefits and feasibility
of a voluntary compliance program and ways to credit carriers and
drivers who initiate and establish programs that promote safety beyond
FMCSA's regulations. The MCSAC completed its deliberations during its
June 15-16, 2015, meeting and subsequently submitted its final report
on Task 15-1 to the Agency on September 21, 2015. A copy of the report
is posted at the MCSAC's Web site, http://mcsac.fmcsa.dot.gov/meeting.htm.
    On April 23, 2015 (80 FR 22770), the Agency published a notice
requesting responses to specific questions and any supporting data the
Agency should consider in the potential development of a Beyond
Compliance program.\1\ The notice indicated that Beyond Compliance
would include voluntary programs implemented by motor carriers that
exceed regulatory requirements and improve the safety of commercial
motor vehicles and drivers operating on the Nations' roadways by
reducing the number and severity of crashes. Beyond Compliance would
not result in regulatory relief.

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

    Section 5222 of the recently enacted the Fixing America's Surface
Transportation Act (Pub. L. 114-94, Dec. 4, 2015, 129 Stat. 1312)
(FAST) mandates that the FMCSA Administrator allow recognition for a
motor carrier that installs advanced safety equipment, enhanced driver
fitness measures, fleet safety management tools, technologies, and
programs and other standards for use by motor carriers to receive
recognition, including credit or an improved SMS percentile. This
provision requires the Administrator, after providing notice and
comment, to develop a process for identifying and reviewing these
opportunities to provide credit to those carriers and drivers who go
above and beyond the regulatory requirements.
    The January 12, 2016, session will be held at the American Bus
Association's (ABA) Marketplace conference in Louisville, Kentucky. The
January 31, 2016, session will be held at the United Motorcoach
Association (UMA) Expo 2016 conference in Atlanta, Georgia.
    All comments will be transcribed and placed in the docket
referenced above for FMCSA's consideration. The entire proceedings of
both meetings will be webcast.

II. Meeting Participation and Information FMCSA Seeks From the Public

    The listening session is open to the public. Speakers should try to
limit their remarks to 3-5 minutes. No preregistration is required.
Attendees may submit material to the FMCSA staff at the session for
inclusion in the pubic

docket referenced at the beginning of this notice.
    FMCSA would like to know the views of the public on the concept,
with any data or analysis to support it, with regard to 3 basic areas:
    (1) What voluntary technologies or safety program best practices
would be appropriate for beyond compliance; (2) what type of incentives
would encourage motor carriers to invest in technologies and best
practices programs; and (3) how FMCSA would verify that the voluntary
technologies or safety programs are being implemented.
    FMCSA will docket the transcripts of the webcast and a separate
transcription of each listening session will be prepared by an official
court reporter.

[EPA-R09-OAR-2017-0537; FRL-9979-18--Region 9]

Air Plan Approval; Douglas, Arizona; Second 10-Year Sulfur
Dioxide Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
rulemaking action to approve, as part of the State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for the State of Arizona, the second 10-year maintenance plan for
the Douglas maintenance area for the 1971 National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (``standards'') for sulfur dioxide (SO2).

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 9, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2017-0537. All documents in the docket are

I. Proposed Action
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
III. EPA Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Proposed Action

    On February 16, 2018 (83 FR 6996), the EPA proposed to approve the
second 10-year maintenance plan for the Douglas, Arizona SO2
maintenance area. Submitted by the Arizona Department of Environmental
Quality on December 14, 2016, the Douglas second 10-year SO2
maintenance plan (``plan'') demonstrates maintenance of the 1971
SO2 standards through 2030.
    We proposed to approve the plan because we determined that it
complied with the relevant Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act'') requirements.
Our proposed action contains more information on the plan and our
evaluation (83 FR 6996, February 16, 2018).

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided for a 30-day public comment
period. The EPA received eleven anonymous comment letters in response
to the proposed action. All eleven comments concerned issues that are
outside the scope of our proposed approval of the Douglas second 10-
year SO2 maintenance plan. The issues raised in those
comments include, but are not limited to, air quality in China and
India, natural gas, mining, electric vehicles, wind farms, and wind
turbines.

III. EPA Action

    The EPA is taking final rulemaking action to approve the Douglas
second 10-year SO2 maintenance plan under sections 110 and
175A of the CAA. As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA
is approving the submitted SIP revision because it fulfills all
relevant requirements.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable federal regulations. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting 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 Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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 the 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    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. The 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 publishes 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 August 7, 2018. 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 approving the revision to the State of Arizona's
SIP may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

14 CFR Part 234

[Docket No. DOT-OST-2007-0022]
RIN No. 2105-AE02

Posting of Flight Delay Data on Web Sites

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary (OST), Department of Transportation
(DOT).

ACTION: Direct Final Rule, request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This direct final rule amends the time period for uploading
flight

performance information to an air carrier's Web site from anytime
between the 20th and 23rd day of the month to the fourth Saturday of
the month. The intended effect of this rule is to provide regulatory
relief to industry by allowing carriers to follow standard industry
practice of updating flight information such as schedule changes on
Saturday. This action is necessary to address difficulties concerning
implementation and compliance with the requirement to post flight delay
data on carriers' Web sites. Moreover, this change would further the
Department's goal of having all carriers upload flight information at
the same time, thus ensuring passengers are comparing flight
performance data from the same time period. The amendment contained in
this rule is a minor substantive change, in the public interest, and
unlikely to result in adverse comment.

DATES: This final rule is effective July 21, 2010, unless an adverse
comment or notice to file an adverse comment is received by July 6,
2010. OST will publish in the Federal Register a timely document
confirming the effective date of this final rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Transportation requires that certificated air
carriers that account for at least 1 percent of domestic scheduled
passenger revenues (reporting carriers) provide certain flight delay
data on their Web sites. Under that provision, a reporting carrier must
display on its Web site between the 20th and 23rd day of the month the
prior month's flight delay information for each flight it operates and
for each flight its U.S. code-share partners operate for which schedule
information is available. More specifically, the provision requires
that reporting carriers provide on their Web sites the following on-
time performance information: (1) The percentage of arrivals that were
on time--i.e., within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time; (2) the
percentage of arrivals that were more than 30 minutes late (including
special highlighting if the flight was more than 30 minutes late more
than 50 percent of the time); and (3) the percentage of flight
cancellations if 5 percent or more of the flight's operations were
canceled in the month covered. The first time carriers must load the
flight delay information onto their Web sites is between July 20 and
23, 2010, for June data.
    On May 7, 2010, the Air Transport Association of America (ATA), the
Regional Airline Association (RAA) and the Air Carrier Association of
America (ACAA) submitted a joint petition to the Department requesting
a change of the date to upload flight data from the 20th to the 23rd of
the month, which sometimes does not fall on a Saturday, to a set
Saturday, as this would allow carriers to follow standard industry
practice of updating flight information such as schedule changes on
Saturdays. In addition, the carrier associations requested that the
specific date for uploading flight performance information on Web sites
be the fourth Saturday of the month to avoid a conflict with the
requirement to file other flight performance information with the
Department's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) on the 15th day
of the month, which at times falls on the third Saturday of the month.
The carrier associations explain that carriers use the same technical
personnel and resources for both activities and having the carriers
file required BTS data and upload flight performance information to a
carrier's Web site on the same day would increase their cost burdens.
ATA, RAA, and ACAA are also concerned that if DOT were to require that
Web sites be updated on the third Saturday of the month there would be
certain months where the reporting carriers would be required to upload
information on their Web sites before submitting the flight data to
BTS. ATA, RAA, and ACAA represent all but one of the carriers covered
by the requirement to post flight delay data. The only reporting
carrier that is not represented by these associations is Mesa, and the
carrier associations have indicated in their petition that Mesa
supports their request.
    In addition, this change in the rule would be beneficial to
consumers as it would require carriers to load data for the previous
month on a particular day instead of allowing carriers to load
information on their Web site over several days, thereby ensuring
passengers are better able to compare flight performance data. It is
also worth noting that when we requested comment in the NPRM on the
proposal that carriers load data for the previous month between the
20th and 23rd day of the current month, we received no comments. See 73
FR 74586 (December 8, 2008).

The Direct Final Rule Procedure

    On January 30, 2004, OST published a final rule adopting direct
final rulemaking procedures intended to expedite the rulemaking process
for noncontroversial rules (69 FR 4455). By using direct final
rulemaking, OST can reduce the time necessary to develop, review, clear
and publish a rule to which no adverse public comment is anticipated by
eliminating the need to publish separate proposed and final rules.
    OST anticipates that this amendment will not result in adverse or
negative comment and, therefore, is issuing it as a direct final rule.
Unless a written adverse or negative comment, or a written notice of
intent to submit an adverse or negative comment is received within the
comment period, the

regulation will become effective on the date specified above. In that
event, after the close of the comment period OST will publish a
document in the Federal Register indicating that no adverse or negative
comments were received and confirming the date on which the final rule
will become effective. If OST does receive, within the comment period,
an adverse or negative comment, or written notice of intent to submit
such a comment, a document withdrawing the direct final rule will be
published in the Federal Register, and a notice of proposed rulemaking
may be published with a new comment period.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this rulemaking by
submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as they may desire.
Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the views and
suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing reasoned
regulatory decisions on the proposal.

Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and Review) and DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866 and the Department of Transportation's Regulatory
Policies and Procedures. Accordingly, this final rule has not been
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Pursuant to section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5
U.S.C. 605(b), as amended by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
and Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA), DOT certifies that this final rule
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. The final rule does not impose any duties or
obligations on small entities.

C. Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)

    This Final Rule does 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, and therefore does not have federalism
implications.

D. Executive Order 13084

    This Final Rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because the rule does
not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of the Indian
tribal governments or impose substantial direct compliance costs on
them, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order
13084 do not apply.

E. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
requires that DOT consider the impact of paperwork and other
information collection burdens imposed on the public and, under the
provisions of PRA section 3507(d), obtain approval from the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of information it
conducts, sponsors, or requires through regulations. DOT has determined
that there is no new information collection requirements associated
with this final rule.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Department has determined that the requirements of Title II of
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 do not apply to this Final
Rule.

    Issued June 16, 2010, in Washington, DC.

Secretary of Transportation.
