DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket No. FEMA-B-7772]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Interim rule.

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

SUMMARY: This interim rule lists communities where modification of the
Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) is appropriate because
of new scientific or technical data. New flood insurance premium rates
will be calculated from the modified BFEs for new buildings and their
contents.

DATES: These modified BFEs are currently in effect on the dates listed
in the table below and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of these changes in a
newspaper of local circulation, any person has ninety (90) days in
which to request through the community that the Mitigation Assistant
Administrator of FEMA reconsider the changes. The modified BFEs may be
changed during the 90-day period.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: William R. Blanton, Jr., Engineering
Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal Emergency Management
Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The modified BFEs are not listed for each
community in this interim rule. However, the address of the Chief
Executive Officer of the community where the modified BFE
determinations are available for inspection is provided.
    Any request for reconsideration must be based on knowledge of
changed conditions or new scientific or technical data.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.

    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The modified BFEs are the basis for the floodplain management
measures that the community is required to either adopt or to show
evidence of being already in effect in order to qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, 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 the
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The changes in BFEs are in
accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This interim rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This interim rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This interim rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This interim rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

[EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0789; FRL-9925-94-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Redesignation of the Allentown Nonattainment Area to
Attainment for the 2006 24-Hour Fine Particulate Matter Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's request to redesignate to attainment the
Allentown Nonattainment Area (Allentown Area or Area) for the 2006 24-
hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS or standard). EPA has determined that the
Allentown Area attained the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS and
that it continues to attain the standard. In addition, EPA is
approving, as a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan
(SIP), the Allentown Area maintenance plan to show maintenance of the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS through 2025 for the Area. The
maintenance plan includes

the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and nitrogen oxides (NOX)
mobile vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for the Area for the 2006 24-
hour PM2.5 NAAQS, which EPA is approving for transportation
conformity purposes. Furthermore, EPA is approving the 2007 base year
emissions inventory, also included in the maintenance plan, for the
Area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. These actions are
being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 13, 2015.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0789. All documents in the docket are listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On September 5, 2014, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP), formally
submitted a request to redesignate the Allentown Area from
nonattainment to attainment for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. Concurrently, PADEP submitted a maintenance plan for the Area as
a SIP revision to ensure continued attainment throughout the Area over
the next 10 years. The maintenance plan includes the 2017 and 2025
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs for the Area for the 2006 24-
hour PM2.5 NAAQS, which EPA is approving for transportation
conformity purposes. PADEP also submitted a 2007 comprehensive
emissions inventory that was included in the maintenance plan for the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS for PM2.5,
NOX, sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic
compounds (VOC), and ammonia (NH3).
    On February 4, 2015 (80 FR 6019), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the
NPR, EPA proposed approval of Pennsylvania's September 5, 2014 request
to redesignate the Allentown Area to attainment for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA also proposed approval of the associated
maintenance plan as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP for the 2006 24-
hour PM2.5 NAAQS, which includes the 2017 and 2025 for
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, which EPA proposed to approve for purposes of
transportation conformity. In addition, EPA proposed approval of the
2007 emissions inventory to meet the emissions inventory requirement of
section 172(c)(3) of the CAA.
    The details of Pennsylvania's submittal and the rationale for EPA's
proposed actions are explained in the NPR and will not be restated
here. No adverse public comments were received on the NPR.

II. Final Actions

    EPA is taking final actions on the redesignation request and SIP
revisions submitted on September 5, 2014 by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, through PADEP for the Allentown Area for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. First, EPA finds that the monitoring data
demonstrates that the Area has attained the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, and continues to attain the standard. Approval
of this redesignation request will change the official designation of
the Allentown Area from nonattainment to attainment for the 2006 24-
hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Second, EPA is approving Pennsylvania's
redesignation request for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS,
because EPA has determined that the request meets the redesignation
criteria set forth in section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA for this
standard. Third, EPA is approving the associated maintenance plan for
the Allentown Area as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP for the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS because it meets the requirements of
section 175A of the CAA. The maintenance plan includes the 2017 and
2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs submitted by
Pennsylvania for the Allentown Area for transportation conformity
purposes. In addition, EPA is approving the 2007 emissions inventory as
meeting the requirement of section 172(c)(3) of the CAA for the
standard.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), EPA finds there is good cause
for this rulemaking action to become effective immediately upon
publication. A delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the nature
of a redesignation to attainment, which eliminates CAA obligations that
would otherwise apply. The immediate effective date for this rulemaking
action is authorized under both 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1), which provides that
rulemaking actions may become effective less than 30 days after
publication if the rule ``grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves
a restriction,'' and section 553(d)(3), which allows an effective date
less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise provided by the
agency for good cause found and published with the rule.'' The purpose
of the 30-day waiting period prescribed in section 553(d) is to give
affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare
before the final rule takes effect. Today's rulemaking action, however,
does not create any new regulatory requirements such that affected
parties would need time to prepare before the rule takes effect.
Rather, today's rulemaking action relieves the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania of the obligation to comply with nonattainment-related
planning requirements for the Area pursuant to part D of the CAA and
approves certain emissions inventories and MVEBs for the Area. For
these reasons, EPA finds good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for this
rulemaking action to become effective on the date of publication.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of the maintenance plan under CAA section
107(d)(3)(E) are actions that affect the status of a geographical area
and do not impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources
beyond those required by state law. A redesignation to attainment does
not in and of itself impose any new requirements, but rather results in
the application of requirements contained in the CAA for areas that
have been redesignated to attainment. Moreover, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions
of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40
CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to
approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA.
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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 June 12, 2015. 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 redesignation request and maintenance
plan and comprehensive emissions inventory for the Allentown Area for
the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

    h. Applicant Contact: Mr. Neil J. Wong, Pacific Gas and Electric
Company, 245 Market Street, San Francisco, California 94105, Tel: (415)
973-2109.
    i. FERC Contact: Alyssa Dorval,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    j. Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, and
protests: 15 days from the issuance date of this notice.
    All documents may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18
CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web
site http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/efiling.asp. Commenters can submit
brief comments up to 6,000 characters, without prior registration,
using the eComment system at http://www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/ecomment.asp. You must include your name and contact information at the
end of your comments. For assistance, please contact FERC Online
Support at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at 1-866-208-3676,
or for TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>. Although the Commission strongly encourages
electronic filing, documents may also be paper-filed. To paper-file,
mail an original and seven copies to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary,
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426. Please include the project number (P-1988-081) on any
documents or motions filed.
    The Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure require all
intervenors filing documents with the Commission to serve a copy of
that document on each person whose name appears on the official service
list for the project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or
documents with the Commission relating to the merits of an issue that
may affect the responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they
must also serve a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    k. Description of Request: Pursuant to Article 402 of the project
license, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is required to request
a temporary amendment of flows from the Commission, if the departure
from flows lasts for more than two weeks. PG&E is planning to construct
a reinforced shotcrete lining in the lower, unlined portion of the
Kings River Surge Shaft. This liner is being constructed to address
seepage from the slope below the surge chamber, which has increased
over the years. In order to make the repairs, PG&E will need to drain
the Kings River Tunnel in a controlled manner. This condition will
preclude the delivery of a water supply to maintain the minimum
instream flow release at KI-31. It is estimated that the period of no
release from the KI-31 could last approximately 11 weeks. The minimum
flow requirement below Balch Afterbay Dam (KI-21) of 15 cubic feet per
second (cfs) will be met at all times. PG&E will also release an
additional 20 cfs at the Balch Afterbay Dam for a total of 35 cfs at
the confluence of Dinkey Creek and the Kings River (KI-22). Additional
natural flows from Dinkey Creek will provide a combined 20-50 cfs at
KI-22.
    l. A copy of the application 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

related to this or other pending projects. For assistance, contact FERC
Online Support.
    m. Individuals desiring to be included on the Commission's mailing
list should so indicate by writing to the Secretary of the Commission.
    Anyone may submit comments, a protest, or a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, .211, .214. In determining the appropriate action to take,
the Commission will consider all protests or other comments filed, but

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Overview: Sumitomo Rubber Industries, Ltd. (SRI), on behalf of
itself and its subsidiary Sumitomo Rubber North America, Inc. (SRNA),
have determined that certain Falken truck tires do not fully comply
with paragraph S6.5(f) of FMVSS No. 119, New Pneumatic Tires for Motor
Vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536 kilograms (10,000 pounds) and
Motorcycles. SRI filed a noncompliance report dated June 20, 2017,
pursuant to 49 CFR part 573, Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility
and Reports. SRI also petitioned NHTSA on July 10, 2017, pursuant to 49
U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556, for an exemption from
the notification and remedy requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on
the basis that this noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to
motor vehicle safety.
    This notice of receipt of SRI and SRNA's petition is published
under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency
decision or other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the
petition.

    II. Tires Involved: Approximately 5,408 Falken truck tires (Model
RI151), size 225/70R19.5, manufactured between October 17, 2016, and
April 28, 2017, are potentially involved.
    III. Noncompliance: SRI explains that the noncompliance is that the
number of plies indicated on the sidewall of the subject tires do not
match the actual number of plies in the tire construction, and
therefore, do not meet all applicable requirements specified in
paragraph S6.5(f) of FMVSS No. 119. Specifically, the tires are marked
with ``TREAD 5 PLIES STEEL'' whereas the correct marking should be
``TREAD 4 PLIES STEEL.''
    IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S6.5 of FMVSS No. 119 states, in pertinent
part:

    S6.5 Tire Markings. Except as specified in this paragraph, each
tire shall be marked on each sidewall with the information specified
in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this section . . .
* * * * *
    (f) The actual number of plies and the composition of the ply
cord material in the sidewall and, if different, in the tread area.

    V. Summary of SRI's Petition: As background, On June 12, 2017, SRI
discovered that a population of 5,408 Falken brand truck tires, Model
RI151, size 225/70Rl9.5 128/126L, manufactured from October 17, 2016
through April 28, 2017 at the company's plant in Miyazaki, Japan, were
marked with the incorrect number of plies. On July 13, 2017, SRNA was
informed of the marking error, shipments of the subject tires were
halted, and the company determined that the subject tires failed to
comply with the tire labeling requirements of Federal motor vehicle
safety standard (FMVSS) No. 119, S6.5. Specifically, the subject tires
were incorrectly marked ``TREAD 5 PLIES STEEL,'' although they should
have been marked ``TREAD 4 PLIES STEEL.'' Accordingly, these tires do
not conform to the marking requirements of FMVSS No. 119, S6.5. The
subject tires comply with the performance requirements and other
marking requirements of FMVSS No. 119.
    SRI submitted a Part 573 noncompliance report on June 20, 2017.
NHTSA Recall No. l7T-012. SRI corrected the production molds. SRI began
manufacturing correct versions of these tires on June 17, 2017.
    SRI described the subject noncompliance and stated its belief that
the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle
safety.
    In support of its petition, SRI submitted the following reasoning:
    Under the Safety Act, each Federal motor vehicle safety standard
promulgated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) must be ``practicable, meet the need for motor vehicle safety,
and be stated in objective terms.'' 49 U.S.C. 3011l(a). The Safety Act
defines ``motor vehicle safety'' as:

the performance of a motor vehicle or motor vehicle equipment in a
way that protects the public against unreasonable risk of accidents
occurring because of the design, construction or performance of a
motor vehicle, and against unreasonable risk of death or injury in
an accident, and includes nonoperational safety of a motor vehicle.

    49 U.S.C. 30102(a)(8) (emphasis added).
    The Safety Act exempts manufacturers from the Safety Act's notice
and remedy requirements when the Secretary of Transportation determines
that a defect or noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to
motor vehicle safety. See 49 U.S.C. 30118(d). Section 30118(d)
demonstrates Congress's acknowledgment that there are cases where a
manufacturer has failed to comply with a safety standard, yet the
impact on motor vehicle safety is so slight that an exemption from the
notice and remedy requirements of the Safety Act is justified. NHTSA
has stated that the relevant consideration in evaluating an
inconsequentiality petition is ``whether an occupant who is affected by
the noncompliance is likely to be exposed to a significantly greater
risk than an occupant in a compliant vehicle.'' 69 FR 19897, 19900
(April 14, 2004) (emphasis added).
    In the context of tires specifically, the agency has similarly
stated that it ``believes that one measure of inconsequentiality to
motor vehicle safety is that there is no effect of the noncompliance on
the operational safety of vehicles on which the tires are mounted.
Another measure of inconsequentiality . . . is the safety of people
working in the tire retread, repair and recycling industries.'' See 72
FR 18210 (April 17, 2017) (granting petition for determination of
inconsequential noncompliance with respect to Goodyear tires marked
with the incorrect number of plies).
    We believe the labeling noncompliance at issue here is
inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. The subject Falken tires were
manufactured as designed and meet or exceed all applicable FMVSS No.
119 performance standards. Furthermore, all of the sidewall markings
related to tire service (load capacity, corresponding inflation
pressure, etc.) are correct and the tires correctly show that they
contain steel plies. SRI does not believe the mislabeling of these
tires presents a safety concern for consumers or retreading and
recycling personnel. As noted above, the affected tire mold has been
corrected and tires produced on and after June 17, 2017, are marked
with the correct number of plies.
    NHTSA has previously granted petitions involving similar
noncompliances. In the most recent of these, the agency explained:

    Although tire construction affects the strength and durability
of tires, neither the agency nor the tire industry provides
information relating tire strength and durability to the number of
plies and types of ply cord material in the tread sidewall.
Therefore, tire dealers and customers should consider the tire
construction information along with other information such as the
load capacity, maximum inflation pressure, and tread wear,
temperature, and traction ratings, to assess performance
capabilities of various tires. In the agency's judgement, the
incorrect labeling of the tire construction information will have an
inconsequential effect on motor vehicle safety because most
consumers do not base tire purchases or vehicle operation parameters
on the number of plies in a tire.

    See 72 FR 18210 (April 17,2017).
    Regarding potential safety risks to the tire service industry, the
agency concluded that a misstatement of the number of plies ``will have
no measurable effect on the safety of the tire retread, repair, and
recycling industries. The use of steel cord construction in the
sidewall and tread is the primary safety concern of these industries.
In this case, because the sidewall markings indicate that some steel
plies exist in the tire sidewall, this potential safety concern does
not exist.'' Id. As noted above, the markings on the subject tires
correctly indicate that they contain steel plies (although the number
is misstated as 5 instead of 4).
    NHTSA also granted similar petitions involving tires manufactured
by Cooper Tire and Goodyear (Dunlop). See 74 FR 10804 (March 12, 2009)
(granting petition submitted by Goodyear where tires were labeled
``Tread 3 Polyester + 2 Steel,'' whereas the correct marking should
have been ``Tread 2 Polyester + 2 Steel + 2 Polyester''); and 82 FR
17075 (April 7, 2017) (granting petition submitted by Cooper Tire &
Rubber Company where tires were marked ``TREAD 1 PLY NYLON + 2 PLY
STEEL + 2 PLY POLYESTER,'' whereas the correct marking should have been
``TREAD 1 PLY NYLON + 2 PLY STEEL + 1 PLY POLYESTER.''
    SRI is not aware of any warranty claims, field reports, customer
complaints, legal claims, or any incidents or injuries related to the
subject condition.

    SRI concluded by expressing the belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety,
and that its petition to be exempted from providing notification of the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject tires that SRI no longer
controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed.
However, any decision on this petition does not relieve equipment
distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant tires under their control after SRI
notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority:  (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8)
