[Docket No. FAA-2008-0561; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-223-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 757-200 and -200PF Series
Airplanes, and Model 767-200 and -300 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Boeing Model 757-200 and -200PF series airplanes; and Model
767-200 and -300 series airplanes. This proposed AD would require doing
an inspection to determine the part number and serial number of the hub
assembly of the ram air turbine (RAT), and replacing the hub assembly
of the RAT with a new, serviceable, or reworked and re-identified hub
assembly if necessary. This proposed AD results from reports indicating
that the counterweights in some hub assemblies of the RATs could be
under strength and fracture when they are extended in flight. We are
proposing this AD to prevent a fractured counterweight on the hub
assembly of the RAT, which will cause an overspeed condition, and
consequent turbine blade separation, possible injury to passengers,
possible airplane structural damage, and an inoperative RAT. An
inoperative RAT will cause the loss of hydraulic power to the primary
flight controls in cases where both engines are shut down in flight,
resulting in subsequent loss of control of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 7, 2008.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://
www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

Discussion

    We have received reports indicating that the counterweights in some
hub assemblies of the ram air turbine (RAT) could be under strength and
fracture when they are extended in flight, on certain Boeing Model 757-
200 and -200PF series airplanes and Model 767-200 and -300 series
airplanes. The cause of the fractures has been attributed to a
manufacturing process error. A fractured counterweight on the hub
assembly of the RAT, if not corrected, will cause an overspeed
condition, and consequent turbine blade separation, possible injury to
passengers, possible airplane structural damage, and an inoperative
RAT. An inoperative RAT will cause the loss of hydraulic power to the
primary flight controls in cases where both engines are shut down in
flight, resulting in subsequent loss of control of the airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-29A0066, dated
January 2, 2007 (for Model 757-200 and -200PF series airplanes); and
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0110, dated January 2, 2007 (for
Model 767-200 and -300 series airplanes). The service bulletins
describe procedures for doing an inspection to determine the part
number and serial number on the hub assembly of the RAT, replacing the
hub assembly of the RAT with a new, serviceable, or reworked and re-
identified hub assembly if necessary, and submitting a report to the
manufacturer. Accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information is intended to adequately address the unsafe condition.
    Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 757-29A0066, refers to the Hamilton
Sundstrand Service Bulletin 730814-29-12, dated November 30, 2005; and
Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 767-29A0110, refers to the Hamilton
Sundstrand Service Bulletin 729548-29-15, dated November 30, 2005; as
additional sources of service information for accomplishing the
inspection and replacement of the hub assembly of the RAT.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    We have evaluated all pertinent information and identified an
unsafe condition that is likely to exist or develop on other airplanes
of this same type design. For this reason, we are proposing this AD,
which would require accomplishing the actions specified in the Boeing
service information described previously, except as discussed under
``Difference between the Proposed Rule and Referenced Service
Bulletin.''

Difference Between Proposed Rule and Referenced Service Bulletin

    Operators should note that, although the Accomplishment
Instructions of the referenced Boeing service bulletins describe
procedures for submitting a feedback form related to the service
bulletins, this proposed AD would not require those actions.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 60 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. This proposed AD would affect about 43 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The proposed inspection would take about 1 work hour per
airplane, at an average labor rate of $80 per work hour. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the proposed AD for U.S. operators is
$3,440, or $80 per airplane.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, Section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that the proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by
adding the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

Boeing: Docket No. FAA-2008-0561; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-
223-AD.

Air Plan Approval; North Carolina; Mecklenburg Volatile Organic
Compounds

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision to the Mecklenburg
County portion of the North Carolina SIP, hereinafter referred to as
the Mecklenburg Local Implementation Plan (LIP). The revision was
submitted by the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina
Division of Air Quality (NCDAQ), on behalf of Mecklenburg County Air
Quality (MCAQ) via a letter dated April 24, 2020, and was received by
EPA on June 19, 2020. The revision updates several Mecklenburg County
Air Pollution Control Ordinance (MCAPCO) rules incorporated into the
LIP, removes several rules, and adds several rules. The rules addressed
in this proposal relate to volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
and include several VOC Reasonably Available Control Techniques (RACT)
rules. EPA is proposing to approve these changes pursuant to the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 17, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2021-0055 at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Overview

    The Mecklenburg County LIP was submitted to EPA on June 14, 1990,
and EPA approved the plan on May 2, 1991. See 56 FR 20140. Mecklenburg
County is now requesting that EPA approve changes to the LIP for, among
other things, general consistency with the North Carolina SIP.\1\
Mecklenburg County prepared three submittals in order to update the LIP
and reflect regulatory and administrative changes that NCDAQ made to
the North Carolina SIP since EPA's 1991 LIP approval.\2\ The three
submittals were submitted as follows: NCDAQ transmitted the October 25,
2017, submittal to EPA but later withdrew it from review through a
letter dated February 15, 2019. On April 24, 2020, NCDAQ resubmitted
the October 25, 2017, update to EPA and also submitted the January 21,
2016, and January 14, 2019, updates. Due to an inconsistency with
public notices at the local level, these submittals were withdrawn from
EPA through a letter dated February 15, 2019. Mecklenburg County
corrected this error, and NCDAQ submitted the updates to EPA in a
submittal dated April 24, 2020.\3\ This proposed rule proposes to
modify the LIP by revising, adding, and removing several rules related
to the control of VOCs, including several VOC RACT rules, located in
MCAPCO Article 2.0000, Air Pollution and Control Regulations and
Procedures, Section 2.0900, Volatile Organic Compounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Hereinafter, the terms ``North Carolina SIP'' and ``SIP''
refer to the North Carolina regulatory portion of the North Carolina
SIP (i.e., the portion that contains SIP-approved North Carolina
regulations).
    \2\ The Mecklenburg County, North Carolina revision that is
dated April 24, 2020, and received by EPA on June 19, 2020, is
comprised of three previous submittals--one dated January 21, 2016;
one dated October 25, 2017; and one dated January 14, 2019.
    \3\ EPA notes that the April 24, 2020, submittal was received by
EPA on June 19, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 30, 2004, EPA designated the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill,
NC-SC

area (hereinafter referred to as the ``bi-state Charlotte Area'') as a
moderate nonattainment area with respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). See 69 FR 23858. The
bi-state Charlotte Area includes six full counties and one partial
county in North Carolina and one partial county in South Carolina.\4\
The North Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area consists of
Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, and Union Counties and a
portion of Iredell County which includes Davidson and Coddle Creek
Townships.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The South Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area
consists of the portion of York County, South Carolina that falls
within the Rock Hill-Fort Mill Area Transportation Study
Metropolitan Planning Organization Area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of this designation, North Carolina and South Carolina
were required to amend their SIPs for their respective portions of the
bi-state Charlotte Area to satisfy the relevant requirements of section
182 of the CAA. On July 25, 2013, EPA approved the RACT requirements
for the North Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area.\5\ See
78 FR 44890. Section 182(b)(2) of the CAA requires states to adopt RACT
rules for all areas designated nonattainment for ozone and classified
as moderate or above. The three parts of CAA section 182(b)(2) RACT
requirements are: (1) RACT for sources covered by an existing Control
Technique Guideline (CTG) (i.e., a CTG issued prior to enactment of the
1990 amendments to the CAA); (2) RACT for sources covered by a post CAA
1990 amendments enactment CTG; and (3) RACT for all major sources not
covered by a CTG (i.e., non-CTG sources).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ EPA approved the RACT requirements for the South Carolina
portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area on November 28, 2011, at 76
FR 72844.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.165, a major source for a moderate ozone
nonattainment area is a source that emits 100 tons per year or more of
VOC or nitrogen oxides (NOX). On May 9, 2013, EPA took final
action to approve the North Carolina SIP revisions addressing
NOX RACT, VOC RACT, and CTG requirements. See 78 FR 27065.
Together, these SIP revisions established the RACT requirements for the
major sources located in the North Carolina portion of the bi-state
Charlotte Area. NCDAQ submitted a SIP revision on May 1, 2013, to
address deficiencies with the State's VOC RACT rules as identified in
EPA's May 9, 2013, conditional approval of North Carolina's VOC RACT
rules.\6\ See 78 FR 27065.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ The bi-state Charlotte Area was redesignated to attainment
for the 1997 ozone NAAQS on December 2, 2013, and December 26, 2012,
for North Carolina and South Carolina, respectively. The Charlotte-
Rock Hill, North Carolina--South Carolina Area was designated as a
marginal nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS on May 21,
2012, and redesignated to attainment for that NAAQS on July 28, 2015
and December 11, 2015, for North Carolina and South Carolina,
respectively. That area was designated attainment for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS on November 6, 2017. The Charlotte area is currently attaining
all ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. What action is EPA proposing to take?

    The April 24, 2020, submittal updates several MCAPCO rules
incorporated into the LIP, removes several rules, and adds several
rules to more closely align the LIP with the SIP. The January 21, 2016,
changes include updates to MCAPCO Rules 2.0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants;
2.0927, Bulk Gasoline Terminals; 2.0928, Gasoline Service Stations
Stage 1; and 2.0958, Work Practice for Sources of Volatile Organic
Compounds. The submittal also seeks to remove MCAPCO Rules 2.0910,
Alternative Compliance Schedules and 2.0929, Petroleum Refinery
Sources; and add MCAPCO Rules 2.0947, Manufacture of Synthesized
Pharmaceutical Products; 2.0948, VOC Emissions from Transfer
Operations; and 2.0949, Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile Organic
Compounds.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ EPA notes that the Agency received revisions to several
rules updating the Mecklenburg County portion of the North Carolina
SIP transmitted with the same April 24, 2020, cover letter. EPA will
be considering these other SIP revisions, including certain Section
2.2600 and Section 2.0900 rules in separate rulemakings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The January 21, 2016 submittal also asks EPA to reincorporate the
following rules with no changes or very few minor grammatical edits
into the LIP with a new effective date: MCAPCO Rules 2.0906,
Circumvention; 2.0918, Can Coating; 2.0919, Coil Coating; 2.0924,
Magnet Wire Coating; 2.0925, Petroleum Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof
Tanks; 2.0930, Solvent Metal Cleaning; 2.0931, Cutback Asphalt; 2.0933,
Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks; 2.0937,
Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires; and 2.0944, Manufacture of
Polyethylene: Polypropylene and Polystyrene.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Hereinafter, the MCAPCO Rules will be identified by ``Rule''
and the accompanying number, e.g., Rule 2.0901.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. EPA's Analysis of North Carolina's Submittal

    The April 24, 2020, SIP revision updates, removes, and adds rules
in Section 2.0900, Volatile Organic Compounds. EPA is proposing to
approve these changes to the LIP because they are consistent with the
CAA and more closely align the LIP with the SIP.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ This section does not analyze Rules 2.0906, Circumvention;
2.0918, Can Coating; 2.0919, Coil Coating; 2.0924, Magnet Wire
Coating; 2.0925, Petroleum Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks;
2.0930, Solvent Metal Cleaning; 2.0931, Cutback Asphalt; 2.0933,
Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks; 2.0937,
Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires; and 2.0944, Manufacture of
Polyethylene: Polypropylene and Polystyrene because there are no
changes or very few minor grammatical edits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Rule 2.0910, Alternative Compliance Schedules

    The April 24, 2020, revision removes Rule 2.0910, Alternative
Compliance Schedules, from the LIP because the alternative compliance
schedules became obsolete. They are obsolete because Rule 2.0910 only
allows alternative compliance schedules if they are submitted before
January 1, 1980.
    Rule 2.0910 was first adopted into the MCAPCO in 1979, was approved
by EPA into the LIP on May 2, 1991 (56 FR 20140), and established
requirements for alternative compliance schedules for VOC sources. The
proposed removal of Rule 2.0910 from the LIP is consistent with the
removal of the corresponding state rule, 15A NCAC 02D .0910,
Alternative Compliance Schedules, from the SIP on October 15, 1999. See
64 FR 55831. EPA approved North Carolina's March 19, 1997, SIP
submittal seeking removal of Rule 02D .0910 because the alternative
compliance schedules had become obsolete.
    EPA is proposing to approve the removal of Rule 2.0910 because the
alternate compliance schedules are obsolete, it better aligns the LIP
with the SIP, and it will not interfere with any applicable CAA
requirements.

B. Rule 2.0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 2.0926, Bulk Gasoline
Plants, by adding a definition for ``Average daily throughput;'' adding
``Incoming vapor balance system,'' and ``Outgoing vapor balance
system'' to replace and clarify the definition for ``Vapor balance
system;'' removing paragraph (c) and redistributing its components into
paragraphs (b) and (d); clarifying language in a new paragraph (c);
adding language to require outgoing vapor balance systems on certain
receiving truck tanks and trailers at certain bulk gasoline plants and
in nonattainment areas; making a few grammatical edits including
renumbering and changing ``immediately'' to ``automatically and
immediately'' in paragraph (i); requiring that gasoline storage tanks
be painted white or silver; requiring pressure relief valves on
stationary storage tanks to be

set at 0.5 psi for storage tanks placed in service on or after November
1, 1992, and 0.25 psi for storage tanks existing before November 1,
1992; requiring transfer of gasoline to be discontinued if liquid or
vapor leaks are observed; and requiring truck tank and trailers to be
certified leak tight in accordance with Rule 2.0932. The changes more
closely align the rule with the corresponding SIP-approved state rule
at 15A NCAC 02D .0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants, which reflects EPA's Bulk
Gasoline Plants CTG.
    Rule 2.0926 was first approved by EPA into the LIP on May 2, 1991
(56 FR 20140), was revised on June 23, 1994 (59 FR 32362), and
established requirements to meet the 1977 CTG for controlling VOC
emissions from bulk gasoline plants. EPA most recently approved
amendments to the state rule in North Carolina's SIP, including updates
that correspond to those proposed for incorporation into the LIP-
approved version of Rule 2.0926, on August 1, 1997. See 62 FR 41277.
    EPA is proposing to approve the changes to Rule 2.0926 because they
add and clarify necessary definitions, require outgoing vapor balance
systems, set required pressures for pressure relief valves and address
leaks to be consistent with EPA's CTG, better align the LIP with the
SIP, and will not interfere with any applicable CAA requirements.

C. Rule 2.0927, Bulk Gasoline Terminals

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 2.0927, Bulk Gasoline
Terminals, by adding definitions for ``Degassing,'' ``Leak,'' ``Liquid
balancing,'' and ``Liquid displacement;'' making a few grammatical
edits including renumbering; and adding requirements for collecting,
controlling, inspecting for leaks and documenting emissions from
external and internal floating roof tanks at a bulk gasoline terminal,
citing Rule 2.0903. The changes more closely align the rule with the
corresponding SIP-approved state rule at 15A NCAC 02D .0927, Bulk
Gasoline Terminals, which reflects EPA's Tank Truck Gasoline Loading
Terminals CTG.
    Rule 2.0927 was first approved by EPA into the LIP on May 2, 1991
(56 FR 20140), and established requirements to meet the 1977 CTG for
controlling VOC emissions from bulk gasoline terminals. EPA most
recently approved amendments to the state rule in North Carolina's SIP,
including updates that correspond to those proposed for incorporation
into the LIP-approved version of Rule 2.0927, on October 31, 2007. See
72 FR 61531.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ EPA's action at 78 FR 27065, identified in the entry for
Rule 02D .0927 at 40 CFR 52.1770(c), did not modify the rule text.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA is proposing to approve the changes to Rule 2.0927 because they
add details on leak inspection, recordkeeping, and requirements for
leak repair; standardize procedures used at bulk gasoline terminals to
locate, repair and document leaks of VOC; require routine inspections;
make it easier for MCAQ to determine compliance; better align the LIP
with the SIP; and will not interfere with any applicable CAA
requirements.

D. Rule 2.0928, Gasoline Service Station Stage 1

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 2.0928, Gasoline Service
Station Stage 1, by adding definitions for ``Coaxial system,'' ``Dual
point system,'' ``Line,'' ``Poppeted vapor recovery adaptor,''
``Stationary storage tank,'' and ``Throughput;'' amending the
definition for ``Submerged fill pipe'' to clarify the distance above
the bottom of the tank depending on if there is a vapor recovery
adaptor or not and measurement depending on whether the pipe is cut at
a slant; adding applicability to delivery vessels delivering gasoline
to a gasoline dispensing facility or gasoline service station; changing
an exemption for certain transfers; adding clarifying language related
to submerged fill pipes; adding an exemption for certain stationary
storage tanks with a capacity of not more than 2,000 gallons of
gasoline and for any tanks used exclusively to test the fuel dispensing
meters except for those in ozone nonattainment areas; clarifying that
vapor control systems must have a vapor tight connection and delivery
vessels and vapor collections systems must comply with rule 2.0932 in
order for gasoline to be transferred from any delivery vessel into any
stationary storage tank; clarifying requirements for the vapor control
system depending on whether it is a coaxial or dual point vapor
recovery system and adding additional paragraphs to further explain
these clarifications; removing allowance for alternative vapor control
system requirements; requiring that vent lines on tanks with Stage 1
controls shall have pressure release valves or restrictors; changing
the requirement that refilled vapor-laden delivery vessels that are
refilled in nonattainment areas shall be refilled only at plants
meeting Rules 2.096 or 2.0927 to requiring that refilled vapor-laden
delivery vessels that are refilled in North Carolina shall be refilled
only at plants meeting Rules 2.096 or 2.0927; and making a few
grammatical edits including renumbering. The changes more closely align
the rule with the corresponding SIP-approved state rule at 15A NCAC 02D
.0928, Gasoline Service Stations Stage 1, which reflects EPA's Stage 1
Vapor Control Systems CTG.
    Rule 2.0928 was first approved by EPA into the LIP on May 2, 1991
(56 FR 20140) and last revised on June 23, 1994 (59 FR 32362). The rule
established requirements to meet the 1975 CTG for controlling VOC
emissions from gasoline service stations through the Stage 1 Vapor
Recovery systems. EPA most recently approved amendments to the state
rule in North Carolina's SIP, including updates that correspond to
those proposed for incorporation into the LIP-approved version of Rule
2.0928, on August 1, 1997. See 62 FR 41277.
    EPA is proposing to approve the changes to Rule 2.0928 because they
clarify Stage 1 vapor recovery requirements, better align the LIP with
the SIP, and will not interfere with any applicable CAA requirements.

E. Rule 2.0929, Petroleum Refinery Sources

    The April 24, 2020, revision removes Rule 2.0929 from the LIP
because there are no sources in Mecklenburg County for which the
Petroleum Refinery Leaks CTG category applies.
    Rule 2.0929 was first adopted into the MCAPCO in 1979, was approved
by EPA into the LIP on May 2, 1991 (56 FR 20140), and was revised in
the LIP on June 23, 1994 (59 FR 32362). Rule 2.0929 established
requirements to meet the 1978 Petroleum Refinery Leaks CTG for
controlling VOC emissions from petroleum refinery equipment. The
proposed removal of Rule 2.0929 from the LIP is consistent with the
removal of the corresponding state rule 15A NCAC 02D .0929, Petroleum
Refinery Sources, from the SIP on August 1, 1997. See 62 FR 41277.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In an April 6, 2010, SIP revision, North Carolina made a
negative declaration for the Petroleum Refinery Sources CTG source
category stating that there are no applicable sources in the North
Carolina portion of the bi-state Charlotte Area, including
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. EPA approved that SIP revision
on May 9, 2013 (78 FR 27065). On October 18, 2021, Mecklenburg
County confirmed there are currently no petroleum refineries in
Mecklenburg County. See email from Leslie Rhodes, Air Quality
Director, Mecklenburg County Air Quality to Lynorae Benjamin, Branch
Chief, Air Planning and Implementation Branch, EPA Region 4 found in
the docket for this proposed action.

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

    EPA is proposing to approve the removal of Rule 2.0929 because
there are no petroleum refineries in Mecklenburg County, it better
aligns the LIP with the SIP, and will not interfere with any applicable
CAA requirements.

F. Rule 2.0947, Manufacture of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products

    The April 24, 2020, revision adds Rule 2.0947, Manufacture of
Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products, to Section 2.0900. Mecklenburg
adopted Rule 2.0947 on July 1, 1994, and it contains requirements to
meet the 1978 CTG for controlling VOC emissions from the manufacture of
synthesized pharmaceutical products. Rule 2.0947 includes definitions
for ``Production equipment exhaust system'' and ``Synthesized
pharmaceutical manufacturing;'' applicability and emission control
requirements for reactors, distillation operations, crystallizers,
centrifuges, vacuum dryers, air dryers, production equipment exhaust
systems, storage tanks and centrifuges, rotary vacuum filters, and
other filters related to VOC and in-process tanks; requirements for
leak repairs; and required temperatures for condenser outlets.
    Approving the April 24, 2020 SIP revision would add these CTG
requirements to the LIP and more closely align the LIP with the SIP
which contains a state rule analog at 15A NCAC 02D .0947, Manufacture
of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products. North Carolina adopted Rule 02D
.0947 in 1994, and EPA approved it into the SIP on January 26, 1995.
See 60 FR 5136.
    EPA is proposing to incorporate Rule 2.0947 into the LIP to add the
aforementioned CTG requirements and better align the LIP with the SIP.
Adding this rule to the LIP will not interfere with any applicable CAA
requirements.

G. Rule 2.0948, VOC Emissions From Transfer Operations

    The April 24, 2020, revision adds Rule 2.0948, VOC Emissions From
Transfer Operations, to Section 2.0900. Mecklenburg adopted Rule 2.0948
on July 1, 1994. Rule 2.0948 applies to operations that transfer VOC
from a storage tank to truck-tanks, trailers, or railroad tank cars
that are not covered by Rule 2.0929, Bulk Gasoline Plants, 2.0927, Bulk
Gasoline Terminals, or 2.0928, Gasoline Stations Stage I, and provides
requirements for loading VOCs into a truck-tank, trailer, or railroad
tank car from storage tanks regulated by Rule 2.0948.
    Approving the April 24, 2020 SIP revision would add these VOC
emissions requirements to the LIP and more closely align the LIP with
the SIP which contains a state rule analog at 15A NCAC 02D .0948, VOC
Emissions From Transfer Operations. North Carolina adopted Rule 02D
.0948 in 1994, and EPA approved it into the SIP on January 26, 1995.
See 60 FR 5136. EPA most recently approved amendments to the state rule
in North Carolina's SIP on August 27, 2001, to make minor
administrative changes and clarifications. See 66 FR 34117.
    EPA is proposing to incorporate Rule 2.0948 into the LIP to add the
aforementioned VOC emissions requirements and better align the LIP with
the SIP. Adding this rule to the LIP will not interfere with any
applicable CAA requirements.

H. Rule 2.0949, Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile Organic Compounds

    The April 24, 2020, revision adds Rule 2.0949, Storage of
Miscellaneous Volatile Organic Compounds, to Section 2.0900.
Mecklenburg adopted Rule 2.0949 on July 1, 1994. Rule 2.0949 applies to
the storage of VOCs in stationary tanks, reservoirs, or other
containers with a capacity greater than 50,000 gallons that are not
covered by Rule 2.0925, Petroleum Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks,
or Rule 2.0933, Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof
Tanks, and provides requirements for VOC storage at sources to which
Rule 2.0949 applies.
    Approving the April 24, 2020 SIP revision would add these VOC
emissions requirements to the LIP and more closely align the LIP with
the SIP which contains a state rule analog at 15A NCAC 02D .0949,
Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile Organic Compounds. North Carolina
adopted Rule 02D .0949 in 1994, and EPA approved it into the SIP on
January 26, 1995. See 60 FR 5136. EPA most recently approved amendments
to Rule 02D .0949 on August 27, 2001, to remove the requirement of
having the director approve the vapor recovery system or any other
means of air pollution. See 66 FR 34117.
    EPA is proposing to incorporate Rule 2.0949 into the LIP to add the
aforementioned VOC emissions requirements and better align the LIP with
the SIP. Adding this rule to the LIP will not interfere with any
applicable CAA requirements.

I. Rule 2.0958, Work Practice for Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds

    The April 24, 2020, revision modifies Rule 2.0958, Work Practice
for Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds, by adding an exemption for
sources subject to 40 CFR part 63 Subpart JJ (National Emissions
Standards For Wood Furniture Manufacturing); \12\ amending the
requirement from cleaning up spills within 30 minutes to cleaning them
up as soon as possible following proper safety procedures; changing
``painting'' to ``coating'' to clarify that solvents from the cleaning
of all coating equipment must be contained properly; removing the
requirement to minimize over application and over spray of all material
containing VOCs; and changing ``all reasonable precautions'' to
``precautions'' when reducing the pooling of solvent on and in the
parts and making minor edits. These changes more closely align Rule
2.0958 with the corresponding SIP-approved state rule at 15A NCAC 02D
.0958, Work Practice for Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 40 CFR part 63 Subpart JJ contains work practice standards
at 40 CFR 63.803.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Rule 2.0958 was approved by EPA into the LIP on October 22, 2002
(67 FR 64999). The rule established general work practices for VOC
sources for controlling VOCs. EPA most recently approved amendments to
the state rule in North Carolina's SIP on July 25, 2013. See 78 FR
44890.
    EPA is proposing to approve this revision to make the
aforementioned revisions and to better align the LIP with the SIP. EPA
has preliminarily determined that this is consistent with federal
regulations.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference MCAPCO Rules 2.0906, Circumvention; 2.0918, Can Coating;
2.0919, Coil Coating; 2.0924, Magnet Wire Coating; 2.0925, Petroleum
Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks; 2.0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants;
2.0927, Bulk Gasoline Terminals; 2.0928, Gasoline Service Stations
Stage I; 2.0930, Solvent Metal Cleaning; 2.0931, Cutback Asphalt;
2.0933, Petroleum Liquid Storage in External Floating Roof Tanks;
2.0937, Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires; 2.0944, Manufacture of
Polyethylene: Polypropylene and Polystyrene; 2.0947, Manufacture of
Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products; 2.0948, VOC Emissions from
Transfer Operations; 2.0949, Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile Organic
Compounds; and 2.0958, Work Practice for Sources of Volatile Organic
Compounds, all of

which have an effective date of December 15, 2015, into the Mecklenburg
County portion of the North Carolina SIP to update the rules to more
closely align with their analog North Carolina rules in the SIP. Also
in this document, EPA is proposing to remove MCAPCO Rules 2.0910,
Alternative Compliance Schedules and 2.0929, Petroleum Refinery Sources
from the Mecklenburg County portion of the North Carolina SIP, which is
incorporated by reference in accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR
part 51. EPA has made, and will continue to make, the SIP generally
available at the EPA Region 4 office (please contact the person
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).

V. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned revisions to the
Mecklenburg LIP. Specifically, EPA is proposing to approve revisions to
MCAPCO Rules 2.0926, Bulk Gasoline Plants; 2.0927, Bulk Gasoline
Terminals; 2.0928, Gasoline Service Stations Stage 1; and 2.0958, Work
Practice for Sources of Volatile Organic Compounds. EPA is also
proposing to remove Rules 2.0910, Alternative Compliance Schedules and
2.0929, Petroleum Refinery Sources and to add Rules 2.0947, Manufacture
of Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products; 2.0948, VOC Emissions from
Transfer Operations; and 2.0949, Storage of Miscellaneous Volatile
Organic Compounds. EPA is proposing to approve these changes to the LIP
because they are consistent with the CAA.
    EPA is also proposing to reincorporate the following rules with no
changes or very few minor grammatical edits with a new effective date
into the LIP: MCAPCO Rules 2.0906, Circumvention; 2.0918, Can Coating;
2.0919, Coil Coating; 2.0924, Magnet Wire Coating; 2.0925, Petroleum
Liquid Storage in Fixed Roof Tanks; 2.0930, Solvent Metal Cleaning;
2.0931, Cutback Asphalt; 2.0933, Petroleum Liquid Storage in External
Floating Roof Tanks; 2.0937, Manufacture of Pneumatic Rubber Tires; and
2.0944, Manufacture of Polyethylene: Polypropylene and Polystyrene.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, 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, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided they meet the criteria of the CAA. This proposed action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed 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);
     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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a

Commission staff to conduct a technical conference in the above-

for January 12, 2016, at the Commission's headquarters at 888 First
Street NE., Washington, DC 20426 between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time).
    In an order dated November 24, 2015,\1\ the Commission found that
the assignment of cost allocation for the projects in the filings and
complaints listed in the caption using PJM's solution-based
distribution factor (DFAX) cost allocation method had not been shown to
be just and reasonable and may be unjust, unreasonable, or unduly
discriminatory or preferential. The Commission directed its staff to
establish a technical conference to explore both whether there is a
definable category of reliability projects within PJM for which the
solution-based DFAX cost allocation method may not be just and
reasonable, such as projects addressing reliability violations that are
not related to flow on the planned transmission facility, and whether
an alternative just and reasonable ex ante cost allocation method could
be established for any such category of projects.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that Curtis-Strauss LLC (CSL), is applying for expansion of its
current recognition as an NRTL. CSL requests the addition of sixteen
(16) test standards to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes (1) the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; and (2) the recognized site(s) that has/have
the technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition,
following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix
requires that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the Agency provides its final decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of
that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page for each NRTL,
including CSL, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.
    CSL currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
Curtis-Strauss LCC, One Distribution Center Circle, Suite #1,
Littleton, MA 01460. A complete list of CSL's scope of recognition is
available at https://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/csl.html.

II. General Background on the Application

    CSL submitted four applications, each dated December 29, 2015
(OSHA-2009-0026-0065; OSHA-2009-0026-0066; OSHA-2009-0026-0069; OSHA-
2009-0026-0068), to expand its recognition to include 16 additional
test standards. OSHA staff performed a detailed analysis of the
application packets and reviewed other pertinent information. OSHA did
not perform any on-site reviews in relation to these applications.
    Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standards found in CSL's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    CSL submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file, and pertinent
documentation, indicate that CSL can meet the requirements prescribed
by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include the addition
of these 16 test standards for NRTL testing and certification listed
above. This preliminary finding does not constitute an interim or
temporary approval of CSL's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether CSL meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request
in writing, stating the reasons for the request. Commenters must submit
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if the request
is not adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the exhibits
identified in this notice, as well as comments submitted to the docket,
contact the Docket Office, Room N-2625, Occupational Safety and Health
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, at the above address. These
materials also are available online at http://www.regulations.gov under
Docket No. OSHA-2009-0026.
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health whether to grant CSL's application for expansion of
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
decision on granting the application. In making this decision, the
Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7.
    OSHA will publish a public notice of its final decision in the
Federal Register.
