    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What information collection activity or ICR does this apply to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
the State Small Business Stationary Source Technical and Environmental
Compliance Assistance Programs (SBTCP).
    Title: State Small Business Stationary Source Technical and
Environmental Compliance Assistance Programs (SBTCP) Annual Reporting
Form.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1748.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0337.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on April 30,
2012. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: As part of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, the U.S.
Congress included, as part of Section 507, the requirement that each
state establish a Small Business Stationary Source Technical and
Environmental Compliance Assistance Program to assist small businesses
in complying with the Act. These programs are generally known as Small
Business Environmental Assistance Programs (SBEAPs). EPA must provide
the Congress with period reports from the EPA Small Business Ombudsman
(SBO) on these programs, including their effectiveness, difficulties
encountered, and other relevant information. Each state assistance
program will submit requested information to EPA for compilation and
summarization. This collection of information is mandatory under
Section 507(a), (d), and (e) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990,
Public Law 101-549, November 15, 1990. This Act directs EPA to monitor
the SBTCPs and to provide a report to Congress. This responsibility has
been delegated to the EPA SBO. Response to the collection is not
required to obtain or retain a benefit. Information in the annual
report to Congress is aggregated and is not of a confidential nature.
None of the information collected by this action results in/or requests
sensitive information of any nature from the states.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 80
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 53.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
One per year.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 2,120.
    Estimated total annual costs: $96,312. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $96.312 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is no in increase of the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
This reflects EPA's and the SBEAP's desire to make useful data
available to the public. The trend among government agencies is toward
outcome measures; in the past the data collected through this ICR was
of limited use in providing measures of this type. Therefore, the EPA,
in consultation with representatives from the state programs, has
decided that an increase in the hours would not provide improved data
quality and usefulness.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

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
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 amends Class D airspace and Class E surface airspace and
establishes Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D
surface area for Hudson Valley Regional Airport, Poughkeepsie, NY, to
support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA 2023-0090 in the Federal Register (88 FR 14514; March 9, 2023),
proposing to amend Class D and Class E surface airspace, as well as
proposing to establish Class E airspace designated as an extension to a
Class D surface area at Hudson Valley Regional Airport, Poughkeepsie,
NY. Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.

Incorporation by Reference

    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
Paragraphs 5000, 6002, and 6004 of FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, which is incorporated by reference
in 14 CFR 71.1 on an annual basis. This document amends the current
version of that order, FAA Order JO 7400.11G, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 19, 2022, and effective September 15,
2022. FAA Order JO 7400.11G is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. These amendments will be published
in the next update to FAA Order JO 7400.11.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11G lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by amending Class D airspace and
Class E surface airspace by increasing the radius to 4.4 miles
(previously 4.0 miles). Also, this action establishes Class E airspace
designated as an extension to a Class D surface area of 6.5 miles to
the northeast and the southwest of Hudson Valley Regional Airport. An
airspace evaluation determined this update is necessary for the safety
and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this 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 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a.
    This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances
warrant the preparation of an environmental assessment.

The Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration

proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

meeting today @ 1 on baseline controls

Heidi, I chatted with my technical staff this am.  I wanted to give you a heads up on our position prior to the meeting this afternoon as a point of departure.  Here are the basics:

- We have already analyzed the costs for implementing the current standard in a separate regualtory package on ozone implementation a few years ago so we do not plan to present costs for meeting the current standard in the O3 RIA.  Let me know if you need a copy of the analysis.

- That previous analysis was for a different analytical year (2010) and based on different inventories, modeling etc.  Thus, it was necessary for us to prepare an updated scenario for meeting the current standard to provide a baseline for the alternative standard analysis.

- In the Chapter 5 Appendix for the O3 RIA, we are including technical information for the engineering costs for the controls used in the baseline, or references to cost information for these controls.  For example, we will present the cost data on the 3 mobile source controls (e.g. plug-in hybrids) which we were discussing yesterday in this appendix.

I hope this helps frame the discussion.  Talk to you @ 1:00

revised version of an approved Product Safety Plan (PSP) submitted
pursuant to 49 CFR Part 236, subpart H. The individual petition is
described below, including the party seeking approval, the requisite
docket number and a brief summary of the petition.

BNSF Railway Company

Docket Number FRA-2006-23687

    The BNSF Railway Company (BNSF) submitted a petition for approval
of a revised version (version 3.0) of their already approved PSP for
the Electronic Train Management System (ETMS). BNSF asserts that the
revised PSP demonstrates that ETMS has been designed to incrementally
scale out functionality and applicability to different railroad
territory type configurations. Consequently, ETMS and the PSP has
evolved over time as new functionality was added to the system and
tested on different operational scenarios that exist on the BNSF rail
network. BNSF also believes the revised PSP supports the requirements
as described in 49 CFR Part 236, subpart H regarding the ``Standards
for Development and Use of Processor-Based Signal and Train Control
Systems'' to receive approval for implementation of the ETMS II, ETMS
IV and ETMS VI configuration types. The revised PSP provides
descriptions of: The ETMS itself, ETMS safety process and analyses,
validation and verification processes used during development of ETMS,
and operational and support requirements and procedures.
