supplemental, any Federal funds provided under the Stafford Act for
Hazard Mitigation and Other Needs Assistance will be limited to 75
percent of the total eligible costs.
    Further, you are authorized to make changes to this declaration
for the approved assistance to the extent allowable under the
Stafford Act.

    The time period prescribed for the implementation of section
310(a), Priority to Certain Applications for Public Facility and Public
Housing Assistance, 42 U.S.C. 5153, shall be for a period not to exceed

NOTICE OF ACTION TAKEN -- DOCKET OST 2003-16078

________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________

This serves as notice to the public of the action described below, taken
by the Department official indicated (no additional confirming order
will be issued in this matter).

Applicant:  VOLGA-DNEPR J.S. CARGO AIRLINE
                Date Filed:  September 2, 2003

Relief requested:  Exemption from 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) to permit
the applicant to operate one, one-way cargo charter flight from North
Island NAS, California, to Denver, Colorado, on or about September 10,
2003, using its AN-124-100 aircraft, to carry Lockheed Martin
Astronautics Centaur IIAS Launch Vehicle Tanks and associated equipment,
on behalf of Lockheed Martin.  The applicant stated that Lockheed Martin
needs prompt shipment of this cargo to Denver to complete an aggressive
final-assembly schedule, that the cargo is too large for transportation
on U.S.-carrier aircraft; and that surface transportation is not
feasible because of the delicate nature and high value of the cargo, and
conditions unsuitable to maintaining system-integrity compliance.

Applicant representative:  Glenn P. Wicks,<PHONE_NUMBER>         DOT
analyst:  Allen F. Brown,<PHONE_NUMBER>

Responsive pleadings:  Volga-Dnepr served its application on those U.S.
carriers operating large all-cargo aircraft.  Each carrier indicated
that it did not have aircraft available to conduct the proposed
operations and that it had no comment or did not oppose grant of the
requested authority.

Statutory Standards:  Under 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g), we may authorize
a foreign air carrier to carry commercial traffic between U.S. points
(i.e., cabotage traffic) under limited circumstances.  Specifically, we
must find that the authority is required in the public interest; that
because of an emergency created by unusual circumstances not arising in
the normal course of business the traffic cannot be accommodated by U.S.
carriers holding certificates under 49 U.S.C. section 41102; that all
possible efforts have been made to place the traffic on U.S. carriers;
and that the transportation is necessary to avoid unreasonable hardship
to the traffic involved (an additional required finding, concerning
emergency transportation during labor disputes, was not relevant here).

        DISPOSITION

Action: Approved
                                             Action date:  September 9,
2003

Effective dates of authority granted:  September 9, 2003, through
September 12, 2003

Basis for approval:  We are granting Volga-Dnepr’s request to operate
its proposed one-way flight from North Island NAS to Denver, through
September 12, 2003.  We found that its request met all the relevant
criteria of 49 U.S.C. section 40109(g) for the grant of an exemption of
this type and that the grant was required in the public interest.
Specifically, we were persuaded that the need to move the cargo promptly
in order to meet the urgent final-assembly schedule, the fact that the
cargo could not be transported by surface transportation because of its
delicate nature and high value, the potential negative impact of
delivery delay; and the unique, outsized nature of the cargo,
constituted an emergency not arising in the normal course of business.
Moreover, based on the representations of the U.S. carriers, we
concluded that no U.S. carrier had aircraft available that could be used
to conduct the operations at issue here.  We also found that grant of
this authority would prevent unreasonable hardship to Lockheed Martin
Space Systems.  Finally, we found that the applicant was qualified to
perform its proposed operation.

Except to the extent exempted/waived, this authority is subject to our
standard exemption conditions and to the condition that the applicant
must comply with an FAA-approved flight routing for the authorized
operation.

Action taken by:      Michael W. Reynolds

                                  Acting Assistant Secretary for

                                     Aviation and International Affairs

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On January 31, 2006 (71 FR 5035), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The NPR
proposed approval of a new rule, 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40, Consumer Products
(9 VAC 5-40-7240 through 9 VAC 5-40-7360); and the amendments to 9 VAC
5-20-21 that incorporate by reference test methods and procedures
needed for 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40. The formal SIP revision was submitted by
the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ) on October 25,
2005.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The Virginia consumer products rule, 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40, applies
only to sources in the Northern Virginia VOC emissions control area
designated in 9 VAC 5-20-206. The rule applies to a person who sells,
supplies, offers for sale, or manufactures consumer products on or
after July 1, 2005. Also included in the rule are definitions, the VOC
content limits, standards and exemptions, innovative products,
requirements for waiver requests, administrative requirements for
labeling and reporting, test methods for demonstrating compliance,
compliance schedules, an alternative control plan, monitoring, and
reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
    Amendments to 9 VAC 5-20-21 incorporate by reference additional
test methods and procedures needed for 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40.
    Other specific requirements of 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40, amendments to 9
VAC 5-20-21, and the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained
in the NPR and will not be restated here. On February 2, 2006, EPA
received a single comment on its January 31, 2006 NPR. A summary of the
comment submitted and EPA's response is provided in Section III of this
document.

III. Summary of Public Comments and EPA Responses

    Comment: A commenter pointed out that one of its test methods
referenced in the State regulation had been revised and renumbered.
    Response: The commenter merely points out that one test method that
the rule incorporates has been revised and renumbered. The commenter
does not request that EPA disapprove the rule, nor allege that the
current regulation incorporating the earlier version of the test method
is in any way adequate. Therefore, EPA concludes that the information
provided by the commenter does not change EPA's proposal to approve the
SIP revision.

IV. General Information Pertaining to SIP Submittals From the
Commonwealth of Virginia

    In 1995, Virginia adopted legislation that provides, subject to
certain conditions, for an environmental assessment (audit)
``privilege'' for voluntary compliance evaluations performed by a
regulated entity. The legislation further addresses the relative burden
of proof for parties either asserting the privilege or seeking
disclosure of documents for which the privilege is claimed. Virginia's
legislation also provides, subject to certain conditions, for a penalty
waiver for violations of environmental laws when a regulated entity
discovers such violations pursuant to a voluntary compliance evaluation
and voluntarily discloses such violations to the Commonwealth and takes
prompt and appropriate measures to remedy the violations. Virginia's
Voluntary Environmental Assessment Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-
1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and
information about the content of those documents that are the product
of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not
extend to documents or information (1) That are generated or developed
before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2)
that are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) that
demonstrate a clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public
health or environment; or (4) that are required by law.
    On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the

Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the
Privilege law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1198, precludes granting a privilege
to documents and information ``required by law,'' including documents
and information ``required by Federal law to maintain program
delegation, authorization or approval,'' since Virginia must ``enforce
Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less
stringent than their Federal counterparts. * * * '' The opinion
concludes that ``[r]egarding (Sec.  10.1-1198, therefore, documents or
other information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of
these programs could not be privileged because such documents and
information are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required
by Federal law to maintain program delegation, authorization or
approval.''
    Virginia's Immunity law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1199, provides that
``[t]o the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal
law,'' any person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a
State agency regarding a violation of an environmental statute,
regulation, permit, or administrative order is granted immunity from
administrative or civil penalty. The Attorney General's January 12,
1998 opinion states that the quoted language renders this statute
inapplicable to enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since
``no immunity could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal
penalties because granting such immunity would not be consistent with
Federal law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.''
    Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia's Privilege and
Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its
program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because
EPA has also determined that a State audit privilege and immunity law
can affect only State enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal
enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under
the Clean Air Act, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211
or 213, to enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the State plan,
independently of any State enforcement effort. In addition, citizen
enforcement under section 304 of the Clean Air Act is likewise
unaffected by this, or any, State audit privilege or immunity law.

V. Final Action

    EPA is approving the Virginia SIP revision submitted on October 25,
2005 for the new regulation, 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40--Consumer Products, and
the amendments to 9 VAC 5-20-21 that incorporates by reference test
methods and procedures needed for 9 VAC 5 Chapter 40.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under State law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
State law, it 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). This rule also does not
have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct
effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes,
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does
not have substantial direct effects 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
This action merely approves a State rule implementing a Federal
requirement, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule
also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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 rule 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. This rule 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by April 2, 2007. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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 pertaining to the Virginia consumer products rule, may
not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements.
(See section 307(b)(2).)

[Docket No. FAA-2016-6415; Directorate Identifier 2015-NM-178-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700,
701, & 702) airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by two in-service
incidents of a loss of all air data information in the flight deck.
This proposed AD would require a revision of the airplane flight manual
(AFM) emergency procedures section to provide procedures to guide the
crew on how to stabilize the airplane airspeed and attitude for
continued safe flight when a loss of all air data information has
occurred in the flight deck. We are proposing this AD to prevent loss
of control when a loss of all air data information has occurred in the
flight deck.

Discussion

    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2015-20, dated July 21, 2015 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2C10
(Regional Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Two in-service incidents have been reported on CL-600-2C10
aeroplanes regarding a loss of all air data information in the
cockpit. The air data information was recovered as the aeroplane
descended to lower altitudes. An investigation determined that the
root cause in both events was high altitude icing (ice crystal
contamination). If not addressed, this condition may affect
continued safe flight.
    Due to similarities in the air data systems, such events could
happen on all Bombardier CRJ models, CL-600-2B19, CL-600-2C10, CL-
600-2D15, CL-600-2D24 and CL-600-2E25. Therefore, the corrective
actions for these models will be mandated once their respective
Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) revisions become available.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of AFM procedures
to guide the crew to stabilize the aeroplane's airspeed and attitude
for continued safe flight.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2016-
6415.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Section 03-19, Unreliable Airspeed, Revision 15, dated
March 16, 2015, of Chapter 3, Emergency Procedures, in the Bombardier
CRJ Series Regional Jet Model CL-600-2C10 Airplane Flight Manual CSP B-
012, Revision 16A, dated November 6, 2015. The service information
describes procedures to guide the crew to stabilize the airplane's
airspeed and attitude for continued safe flight when a loss of all air
data information has occurred in the flight deck. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 269 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We also estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $22,865, or $85
per product.

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 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 this 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);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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