C. Executive Order 13609, International Cooperation

    Executive Order 13609, ``Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation,'' promotes international regulatory cooperation to meet
shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues and to reduce, eliminate, or prevent
unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements. The FAA has
analyzed this action under the policies and agency responsibilities of
Executive Order 13609, and has determined that this action would have
no effect on international regulatory cooperation.

D. Executive Order 13771, Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    Executive Order 13771 titled ``Reducing Regulation and Controlling
Regulatory Costs,'' directs that, unless prohibited by law, whenever an
executive department or agency publicly proposes for notice and comment
or otherwise promulgates a new regulation, it shall identify at least
two existing regulations to be repealed. In addition, any new
incremental costs associated with new regulations shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be offset by the elimination of existing costs. Only
those rules deemed significant under section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' are subject to these
requirements.
    As determined in section IV.A, above, this is not a significant
rule under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this rule is not subject
to the requirements of Executive Order 13771.

3. Revise Sec.  25.853 to read as follows:

Sec.  25.853  Interior parts and components fire protection.

    (a) General. Each airplane part, component, and assembly must
protect the airplane and its occupants from in-flight and post-crash
fire threats. For the purposes of this section an airplane part,
component, or assembly is one that is located within, and including,
the fuselage.
    (b) Testing. Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section,
an applicant must conduct tests to show compliance with paragraphs (c)
and (d) of this section. Except as provided in paragraph (c)(1)(ii) of
this section, for any tests used to show compliance, the applicant must
use a minimum of three specimen sets.
    (c) In-flight requirements. During an in-flight fire, the
flammability characteristics of each part, component, and assembly must
not present a hazard to the occupants and must not prevent the
continued safe flight and landing of the airplane.
    (1) Accessible areas. (i) Each part, component, and assembly that
is accessible to the flightcrew during flight must be self-
extinguishing when exposed to a small flame.
    (ii) Each receptacle used for the disposal of flammable waste
material must be fully enclosed, constructed of materials that resist
penetration from a small ignition source, and must contain fires likely
to occur in it under normal use. At least one test must show the
capability of the receptacle to contain those fires under all probable
conditions of wear, misalignment, and ventilation expected in service.
    (iii) Each ceiling and sidewall liner of a Class B cargo
compartment must resist penetration by a small flame.
    (2) Inaccessible areas. (i) Each extensively used airplane part,
component, and assembly that is not accessible to the flightcrew during
flight but that could be subjected to an in-flight fire must not
propagate the largest fire that, by itself, would not be a hazard to
the airplane.
    (ii) Each ceiling and sidewall liner of a Class F cargo
compartment, if installed to meet the requirements of Sec.
25.855(b)(2), and of a Class C cargo compartment must resist
penetration by a fire within that compartment and must protect the
airplane's structure and

critical systems from the effects of that fire.
    (iii) Each ceiling and sidewall liner of a Class E cargo
compartment must resist penetration by a fire within that compartment
and must protect the airplane's structure and critical systems from the
effects of that fire, unless the design provides a means other than a
liner that protects the airplane's structure and critical systems from
the effects of that fire.
    (iv) The floor liner of any class of cargo compartment, and any
ceiling and sidewall liner of a Class E cargo compartment, must resist
penetration by a small flame.
    (v) All other parts, components, and assemblies that are not
accessible by the flightcrew during flight must be self-extinguishing
when exposed to a small flame or electrical arc.
    (d) Post-crash requirements. During a post-crash fuel fire, the
flammability characteristics of each part, component, and assembly must
maintain survivable cabin conditions for enough time to allow
evacuation.
    (1) For airplanes with a passenger capacity of 19 or less, each
large surface in the passenger cabin must be self-extinguishing when
exposed to a small flame for at least 60 seconds.
    (2) For airplanes with a passenger capacity of 20 or more, each
large surface in the passenger cabin must resist involvement in a post-
crash fuel fire that has entered the fuselage, except:
    (i) A large surface, no part of which is more than 15'' above the
floor, need not comply with paragraph (d)(2) of this section if it is
located in such a manner that it would not be directly exposed to the
effects of a post-crash fuel fire.
    (ii) A large surface in the interior of a compartment other than a
cargo or baggage compartment need not comply with paragraph (d)(2) of
this section if the interior of the compartment is isolated from the
main passenger cabin by doors or equivalent means that would normally
be closed during taxi, takeoff, and landing.
    (3) Each cushion used to support the occupant of a seat or berth
must resist involvement in a post-crash fuel fire that has entered the
airplane, and must not propagate that fire.
    (4) In addition to resisting involvement in a post-crash fuel fire
that has entered the airplane, each flammable metal must be readily
extinguishable.
    (5) The design must ensure the continued function of all escape
systems when those systems are exposed to the effects of radiant heat
from a post-crash fuel fire.
    (e) Exceptions. A part, component, and assembly does not require
testing to meet the requirements specified in paragraph (c) or (d) of
this section if it meets the criteria of at least one of the following
classes:
    (1) Class 1. Parts, components, and assemblies that would each fit
within a cube measuring two inches on each side and are sufficiently
separated from the same type of part, component, or assembly such that
collectively they will not propagate a fire.
    (2) Class 2. Parts, components, and assemblies that are not
extensively used, are made from materials that are self-extinguishing,
do not individually exceed a volume of 113 cubic inches, have an
exposed surface area not exceeding 200 square inches, and do not
propagate a flame vertically.
    (3) Class 3. Parts, components, and assemblies that applicants can
show, through a method acceptable to the Administrator, are a size,
construction, or location that their flammability characteristics do
not threaten the airplane or its occupants.
    (4) Class 4. Parts, components, and assemblies that are essential
to the safety of the airplane, its occupants, or the functionality of
the airplane and cannot reasonably be constructed of a less flammable
material without compromising the integrity or functionality of that
part, component, or assembly.
    (5) Class 5. Parts, components, and assemblies that have
successfully met one or more of the alternate requirements, including
any applicable conditions, set forth in appendix F to part 25.
    (f) Smoking. (1) Smoking is not allowed in lavatories. If smoking
is allowed in any area occupied by the crew or passengers, an adequate
number of self-contained, removable ashtrays must be provided in
designated smoking sections for all seated occupants.
    (2) Regardless of whether smoking is allowed in any other part of
the airplane, lavatories must have self-contained, removable ashtrays
located conspicuously on or near the entry side of each lavatory door,
except that one ashtray may serve more than one lavatory door if the
ashtray can be seen readily from the cabin side of each lavatory
served.

inaccessible areas of the fuselage must comply with Sec.
25.853(c)(2)(i) unless it qualifies for one of the exceptions in Sec.
25.853(e).
    (b) For airplanes with a passenger capacity of 20 or more, all
thermal/acoustic insulation materials installed in the lower half of
the airplane fuselage must resist penetration of a post-crash fuel fire
and provide a minimum of 5 minutes survivability in the occupied
portions of the airplane, unless the applicant provides an equivalent
means of post-crash fire penetration protection. This requirement does
not apply to thermal/acoustic insulation installations that the
Administrator finds would not contribute to fire penetration
resistance. For the purposes of this paragraph, thermal/acoustic
insulation materials include the means of fastening the materials to
the fuselage.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Department of Labor, as part of the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e., employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing collection of
information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal,
collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of
the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety
and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)

authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries,
illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible, unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
    The following sections describe who uses the information collected
under each requirement, as well as how they use it. The purpose of
these requirements is to reduce employees' risk of death or serious
injury by ensuring that forging machines used by them are in safe
operating condition, and that employees are able to clearly and
properly identify manually operated valves and switches.
    Inspection of Forging Machines, Guards, and Point-of-Operation
Protection Devices (paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (a)(2)(ii)). Paragraph
(a)(2)(i) requires employers to establish periodic and regular
maintenance safety checks, and to develop and maintain a certification
record of each inspection. The certification record must include the
date of inspection, the signature of the person who performed the
inspection, and the serial number (or other identifier) of the forging
machine inspected. Under paragraph (a)(2)(ii), employers are to
schedule regular and frequent inspections of guards and point-of-
operation protection devices, and prepare a certification record of
each inspection that contains the date of the inspection, the signature
of the person who performed the inspection, and the serial number (or
other identifier) of the equipment inspected. These inspection
certification records provide assurance to employers, employees, and
OSHA compliance officers that forging machines, guards, and point-of-
operation protection devices have been inspected, and will operate
properly and safely, to prevent impact injury and death to employees
during forging operations. These records also provide the most
efficient means for the compliance officers to determine that an
employer is complying with the Standard.
    Identification of Manually Controlled Valves and Switches
(paragraphs (c), (h)(3), (i)(1) and (i)(2)). These paragraphs require
proper and clear identification of manually operated valves and
switches on presses, upsetters, boltheading equipment, and rivet-making
machines, respectively. Marking valves and switches provide information
to employees to ensure that they operate the forging machines correctly
and safely. The agency determined that it is usual and customary for
manufacturers to mark (for example, ``On'' and ``Off,'' and ``Open''
and ``Close,'' etc.) all manually controlled valves and switches to
meet the requirements of the American National Standards Institute's
(ANSI) standards. Therefore, OSHA is taking no burden hours or cost for
these paperwork requirements.
    Disclosure of Records. OSHA determined that employers disclosing
information to OSHA during an inspection is outside the scope of the
PRA because OSHA would only review records in the context of an open
investigation of a particular employer to determine compliance with the
Standard. See 5 CFR 1320.4(a)(2).

II. Special Issues for Comment

    OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues:
     Whether the proposed information collection requirements
are necessary for the proper performance of the agency's functions,
including whether the information is useful;
     The accuracy of OSHA's estimate of the burden (time and
costs) of the information collection requirements, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     The quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and
     Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply;
for example, by using automated or other technological information
collection and transmission techniques.

III. Proposed Actions

    OSHA is requesting that OMB extend the approval of the information
collection requirements contained in the Forging Machines Standard (29
CFR 1910.218). The agency is requesting an adjustment increase in the
number of burden hours from 192,053 hours to 384,106.67 hours, a total
increase of 192,953.67 burden hours. The increase is primarily due to a
review of the previously approved ICR showing an error in burden
calculations.
    The agency will summarize any comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this summary in the request to OMB to
extend the approval of the information collection requirements
contained in the Standard.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Title: Forging Machines (29 CFR 1910.218).
    OMB Number: 1218-0228.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profits.
    Number of Respondents: 27,700.
    Total Responses: 1,440,400.
    Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
    Average Time per Response: Varies.
    Estimated Total Burden Hours: 384,106.67.
    Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance): $0.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Carlita Ballard, Office of
International Policy, Fuel Economy and Consumer Programs, NHTSA, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590. Ms. Ballard's telephone
number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. Her fax number is<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NHTSA administers a program for reducing
motor vehicle theft. The central feature of this program is the Federal
Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, 49 CFR part 541. The standard
specifies performance requirements for inscribing or affixing vehicle
identification numbers (VINs) onto certain major original equipment and
replacement parts of high-theft lines of passenger motor vehicles.
    NHTSA obtains, from the most reliable source, accurate and timely
theft data, and publishes the data for review and comment in accordance
with 49 U.S.C. 33104(b)(4). This document reports the preliminary theft
data for CY 2013 the most recent calendar year for which data are
available.
    In calculating the 2013 theft rates, NHTSA followed the same
procedures it has used since publication of the 1983/1984 theft rate
data (50 FR 46669, November 12, 1985). The 2013 theft rate for each
vehicle line was calculated by dividing the number of reported thefts
of MY 2013 vehicles of that line stolen during calendar year 2013 by
the total number of vehicles in that line manufactured for MY 2013, as
reported to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As in all
previous reports, NHTSA's data were based on information provided to
NHTSA by the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation. The NCIC is a government system that receives
vehicle theft information from approximately 23,000 criminal justice
agencies and other law enforcement authorities throughout the United
States. The NCIC data also include reported thefts of self-insured and
uninsured vehicles, not all of which are reported to other data
sources.
    The preliminary 2013 theft data show an increase in the vehicle
theft rate when compared to the theft rate experienced in CY/MY 2012
(For 2012 theft data, see 79 FR 70115, November 25, 2014). The
preliminary theft rate for MY 2013 passenger vehicles stolen in
calendar year 2013 increased to 1.1562 thefts per thousand vehicles
produced, an increase of 2.37 percent from the rate of 1.1294 thefts
per thousand vehicles experienced by MY 2012 vehicles in CY 2012. For
MY 2013 vehicles, out of a total of 211 vehicle lines, ten lines had a
theft rate higher than 3.5826 per thousand vehicles, the established
median theft rate for MYs 1990/1991 (See 59 FR 12400, March 16, 1994).
Of the ten vehicle lines with a theft rate higher than 3.5826, nine are
passenger car lines, one is a multipurpose passenger vehicle line, and
none are light-duty truck lines.
    The data presented in this publication reflect an increase in the
overall vehicle theft rate for CY/MY 2013, which is slightly
inconsistent with the general theft rate trend over the past several
years. Historically, the data have shown an overall decreasing trend,
with periods of increase from one year to the next (Figure 1). While
the theft rate data show only a slight increase in the overall theft
rate for CY/MY 2013, the agency welcomes any comments on the increase
in the overall theft rate for this period.

[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP06AU15.011

    In Table 1, NHTSA has tentatively ranked each of the MY 2013
vehicle lines in descending order of theft rate. Public comment is
sought on the accuracy of the data, including the data for the
production volumes of individual vehicle lines.
    Comments must not exceed 15 pages in length (49 CFR 553.21).
Attachments may be appended to these submissions without regard to the
15 page limit. This limitation is intended to encourage commenters to
detail their primary arguments in a concise fashion.
    If a commenter wishes to submit certain information under a claim
of confidentiality, three copies of the complete submission, including
purportedly confidential business information, should be submitted to
the Chief Counsel, NHTSA, at the street address given in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, and two copies from which the
purportedly confidential information has been deleted should be
submitted to the docket. A request for confidentiality should be
accompanied by a cover letter setting forth the information specified
in the agency's confidential business information regulation. 49 CFR
part 512.
    All comments received before the close of business on the comment
closing date indicated above for this document will be considered, and
will be available for examination in the docket at the above address
both before and after that date. To the extent possible, comments filed
after the closing date will also be considered. Comments on this
document will be available for inspection in the docket. NHTSA will
continue to file relevant information as it becomes available for
inspection in the docket after the closing date, and it is recommended
that interested persons continue to examine the docket for new
material.
    Those persons desiring to be notified upon receipt of their
comments in the rules docket should enclose a self-addressed, stamped
postcard in the envelope with their comments. Upon receiving the
comments, the docket supervisor will return the postcard by mail.
    Privacy Act: Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all
comments received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comment (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's

II. Background

    The purpose of this notice is to solicit public comments on EPA's
recently posted guidance titled, ``PSD and Title V Permitting Guidance
for Greenhouse Gases.'' This document has been determined to be an EPA
Significant Guidance Document per the OMB Bulletin definition and is
included on the EPA list of significant guidance documents. It is
available online at http://www.epa.gov/regulations/guidance/byoffice-oar.html or within the associated docket.
    The guidance document is intended to assist permit writers and
permit applicants in addressing the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) and title V permitting requirements for greenhouse
gases (GHGs) that begin to apply on January 2, 2011, to certain
sources.\1\ The document: (1) Describes, in general terms and through
examples, the requirements of the PSD and title V permit regulations
and how these requirements apply to GHGs; (2) reiterates and emphasizes
relevant past EPA guidance on the PSD and title V review processes for
other regulated air pollutants; and (3) provides additional
recommendations and suggested methods for meeting the permitting
requirements for GHGs. We believe this guidance provides the basic
information that permitting agencies and applicants need to address GHG
emissions in permits. In addition, EPA will continue to work closely
with all stakeholders to ensure a smooth transition to the permitting
of GHGs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA established PSD and title V applicability thresholds for
GHG under the GHG Tailoring Rule at 75 FR 31514 (June 3, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA invites public comment on all aspects of its guidance document
during the 14-day comment period. The guidance is not a regulation and
does not establish binding requirements on EPA or any state, local, or
tribal agency that is authorized to issue PSD or title V permits to
satisfy requirements of the Clean Air Act; however, this guidance is
hereby in effect and, consequently, EPA and other agencies may apply
this guidance without, and regardless of, any additional action by EPA
specific to this guidance. Although EPA has established a docket and is
requesting public comment on the guidance, this procedure does not
alter the nature or effect of the guidance and does not constitute a
formal rulemaking process or require EPA to respond to public comments
on the guidance before EPA or other agencies may apply the guidance in
any permitting decision. After considering public comments, EPA retains
the discretion to revise its guidance, issue additional guidance,
propose regulations as appropriate, and to utilize information
submitted in public comments to inform proposed permit decisions. An
additional opportunity for public comment is required for any proposed
