1. 	IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

	1(a)	Title:	Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives:
			Requirements for Manufacturers (Renewal) (40 CFR Part 79)
			EPA ICR Number 0309.15, OMB Control Number 2060-0150
			Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0894
	1(b)	Abstract

	In accordance with the regulations at 40 CFR Part 79, Subparts A, B, C, D and F, Registration of Fuels and Fuel Additives, manufacturers of (1) motor vehicle gasoline, (2) motor vehicle diesel fuel, and (3) additives for those fuels, are required to have their products registered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) prior to their introduction into commerce. Registration involves providing (1) a chemical description of the fuel or additive, (2) certain technical and marketing information, and (3) any health-effects information in company files. (The portion of Subpart F requiring the development of health-effects data is covered by a separate information collection, EPA ICR No. 1696.08, OMB Control No. 2060-0297.)  Manufacturers are also required to submit periodic reports on production and related information. The program is run by the Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and Radiation. The information is used to (1) identify products whose evaporative or exhaust emissions may pose a particular threat to public health, thus meriting further investigation and/or regulation, (2) ensure that EPA compositional requirements are met before a product is registered and introduced into commerce, and (3) maintain a comprehensive data base of motor vehicle fuel and additive composition. Most of the compositional information has been claimed by the manufacturers as confidential business information (CBI). Lists of registered fuels and additives are available at: www.epa.gov/otaq. The information is collected and stored in hard copy, with most entered into a computer data base. There are approximately 600 fuel manufacturers, 1,250 additive manufacturers, 800 registered fuels, and 8,500 registered additives. These numbers change daily. The annual cost to industry is estimated at $2 million. The annual cost to the government is estimated at $0.5 million.

	This program also serves as a vehicle for the administration of the program for the certification of deposit control/detergent gasoline additives at 40 CFR 80, Subpart G. By using this existing registration program EPA avoided having to establish an additional registration program for gasoline detergent additives. The reporting and recordkeeping requirements unique to this certification program are covered by a separate information collection (EPA ICR No. 1655.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0275).

	In addition, per 30 CFR 75.1901(c), only registered diesel fuel additives may be used in diesel-powered equipment for underground coal mining. Thus the Mine Safety and Health Administration of the Department of Labor is able to utilize this program.

2.	NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

	2(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection

	Motor vehicles comprise the major source of air pollution in most urban areas, and account for about half the toxic air emissions in the United States. Congress demonstrated its strong concern for the protection of public health by providing broad legislative authority to monitor and regulate fuels, fuel additives, and their emissions. This registration program was established by the Air Quality Act of 1967, carried forward into the Clean Air Act (Act) of 1970, and strengthened in the Act's 1977 and 1990 reauthorizations.

	Section 211(a) of the Act provides EPA with the authority to designate any mobile source fuel or additive for registration. Any fuel or additive with the potential for a significant emissions impact on the public would be an appropriate candidate. Once designated, it may not be introduced into commerce until it has been registered by EPA. Section 211(b) requires, for the purpose of registration, that the manufacturer provide certain compositional and related information, and available health-effects data. Section 211(b) also provides EPA with the authority to require health-effects testing. The original regulations were promulgated by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare in 1970, and transferred to the EPA shortly thereafter. They ultimately resided at 40 CFR Part 79 (available at: www.regulations.gov) and were revised in 1975, 1976, 1978 and 2014. Due to their broad public emissions exposure, motor vehicle gasolines and diesel fuels, and their additives, were designated. Section 211(e) (1977 amendments) directs EPA to establish health-effects testing requirements, and those regulations were promulgated in 1994 as Subpart F of 40 CFR Part 79. (Changes to the regulations have reduced the burdens, particularly for small businesses.)  They are structured into three tiers of requirements for specific fuel/additive categories. Tier 1, due in May 1997, required an emissions characterization and a literature search for health-effects information on those emissions. Tier 2, due in May 2000, required short-term inhalation exposures of laboratory animals to emissions to screen for adverse health effects. The regulations also allow for alternative Tier 2 testing if more appropriate. The major gasoline oxygenates and a manganese additive for gasoline have undergone such alternative testing. Follow-up studies, if required, would occur under Tier 3. (The reporting and recordkeeping requirements of these tiers are covered by a separate information collection.)  The objective of the program is to determine if there are any fuels and/or additives whose evaporative emissions or products of combustion may pose a particular danger to public health or welfare. Section 211(c) of the Act provides EPA with the authority to regulate such fuels and additives. For example, the use of lead additives in gasoline, gasoline volatility, the benzene content of gasoline, and the sulfur content of gasoline and diesel fuel, have been regulated. In order to assist EPA in assessing the extent of public exposure to a given fuel or additive, the regulations require additive manufacturers to submit annual reports on production. Fuel manufacturers are required to submit quarterly production reports. The manufacturers are also required to report annually on any new health effects data they may have acquired.

	Another objective of the program is the review of an additive's composition for compliance with EPA restrictions. In order to protect catalytic converters and other emission control devices, there are compositional limitations. On a number of occasions the EPA has informed a manufacturer that its additive could not be registered until the formulation was modified to comply with those requirements.

	An added benefit of the program has been the development of a comprehensive data base of gasoline and diesel fuel/additive composition. These data have proven useful for certain fuels issues, such as the identification of additives with a high sulfur content.

	2(b)	Practical Utility/Users of the Data

	The lists of registered fuels and additives are available to the public at www.epa.gov/otaq. The fuel, additive, and motor vehicle industries are well aware that gasolines, diesel fuels, and their additives, must be registered before they may be introduced into commerce for use in motor vehicles. A separate list of registered gasoline detergent additives is also available. These lists are frequently reviewed by consumers and the manufacturers in order to maintain an awareness of competing products. In accordance with regulations promulgated by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, only registered diesel additives may be used in diesel-powered equipment for underground coal mining.

	Most of the data have been claimed as business confidential by the manufacturers. Thus access is restricted to authorized EPA personnel and contractors. The data have been valuable in EPA's evaluation of certain fuels issues. Notably, the compositional data required since the program's inception were instrumental in establishing the fuel/additive testing categories in the 1994 health-effects testing rules (40 CFR Part 79, Subpart F). If these data indicate a particular threat to public health from the evaporative or exhaust emissions of a fuel or additive, they will be used to support regulatory action under section 211(c) of the Act.

	Section 211(f) of the Act prohibits the introduction into commerce of fuels and additives which are not "substantially similar" to those used by the vehicle manufacturers in emissions certification (unless a waiver is granted). The objective is to protect emission controls from potentially damaging fuels and additives. The term "substantially similar" for unleaded gasoline has been defined via interpretive rule. Elemental composition is restricted to carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. On a number of occasions additive manufacturers have attempted to register additives for unleaded gasoline which did not meet these requirements. Thus, the registration program has been instrumental in enforcing requirements that were established independently of the registration regulations at 40 CFR Part 79.

	The fuel/additive data base has proven useful in the analysis of other fuels issues. For example, the data have been used to assess the development and use of gasoline detergent additives.

3.	NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

	3(a)	Nonduplication

	To our knowledge, this is the only program which requires additive manufacturers to report the composition of their additives, and gasoline and diesel fuel manufacturers to report the usage of additives in their fuels. It is the only program under which these manufacturers must develop information on the emissions health effects of their products. Production volumes for additives are not reported elsewhere. Nowhere else are the production volumes for gasoline and diesel fuels reported in conjunction with additive usage in those fuels. Such data are necessary in order to gauge the extent of public exposure to the emissions of a fuel, additive, or particular fuel/additive combinations.

	3(b)	Public Notice

	A  Federal Register notice requesting public comment on this ICR was published on May 23, 2016 (81FR 32326).  No comments were received.

	3(c)	Consultations

	The Agency has routinely consulted with the manufacturers on the effort to comply with the reporting requirements. Below are consultations with respondents for this renewal.

May Thomas/Afton Chemical Corporation/(804) 788-5246
Kevin Barrett/Innospec Fuel Specialties/(302) 451-1362
Shannon Sullivan/Lubrizol Corporation/(440) 347-6052

	The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), U. S. Department of Labor, views this program as beneficial in that it will provide information on the diesel emissions to which underground coal miners are exposed. MSHA regulations limit the diesel additives used in underground coal mining to those that have been registered by EPA.

	3(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection

	Registration of a designated fuel or additive is required only once, although the manufacturer is required to notify EPA if changes occur in the information provided. The quarterly and annual reports for fuel manufacturers, and annual reports for additive manufacturers, are appropriate in order to monitor patterns of fuel and additive usage in a timely manner. Should the health-effects data indicate that certain fuel/additive combinations are of concern, their history of usage would be necessary in order to assess the extent of public exposure. If these fuel/additive combinations were to experience a significant increase in usage, it would be important to know that on a quarterly basis.

	With refiners and importers reporting their usage of additives quarterly, the annual production report from the additive manufacturers remains adequate. If an additive were to experience a dramatic increase in production, it would be important to have that reported on at least an annual basis.

	3(e)	General Guidelines

	All Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidelines are met.

	3(f)	Confidentiality

	The availability to the public of information submitted for this program is governed by the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) regulations for EPA at 40 CFR Part 2, with the exception that all health test data and other information concerning health and welfare effects, submitted pursuant to Subpart F, shall be public. Lists of the registered fuels and additives are publicly available.

	The majority of the manufacturers consider, for competitive reasons, the compositional information for their fuels and additives to be confidential.  Because most of the information has been claimed to be confidential, this program is housed in a separate office protected by a multi-sensor alarm system with 24-hour monitoring. Access is via a chip identification card for authorized personnel only. Paper files are secured in combination lock, fireproof cabinets with each cabinet requiring its own unique sequence to be unlocked. Data processing is performed solely on computers in the secure area. High-level security is employed.

	Contractor personnel handle routine administrative tasks, data input, and data analysis.
EPA personnel work closely with contractor personnel and handle the technical review of the data and questions involving regulatory interpretation.

	3(g)	Sensitive Questions

	There are no sensitive questions.

4.	THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION COLLECTED

	4(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes

	The fuel and fuel additive manufacturers are related to the following major group North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes:

325193 - Ethyl Alcohol Manufacturing

325199 - All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing

	4(b)	Information Requested

	(i)       	Data Items

	The following definitions at 40 CFR 79.2 are important to the understanding of the reporting requirements:

	"Fuel manufacturer" means any person who, for sale or introduction into commerce, produces, manufacturers, or imports a fuel or causes or directs the alteration of the chemical composition of a bulk fuel, or the mixture of chemical compounds in a bulk fuel, by adding to it an additive, except:
	(1)  A party (other than a fuel refiner or importer) who adds a quantity of additive(s) amounting to less than 1.0 percent by volume of the resultant additive(s)/fuel mixture is not thereby considered a fuel manufacturer.
	(2) A party (other than a fuel refiner or importer) who adds an oxygenate compound to fuel in any otherwise allowable amount is not thereby considered a fuel manufacturer.

	"Additive" means any substance, other than one composed solely of carbon and/or hydrogen, that is intentionally added to a fuel named in the designation (including any added to a motor vehicle's fuel system) and that is not intentionally removed prior to sale or use.

	"Additive manufacturer" means any person who produces, manufacturers, or imports an additive for use as an additive and/or sells or imports for sale such additive under the person's own name.

	Motor vehicle gasolines, motor vehicle diesel fuels, and additives to those fuels, have been designated at 40 CFR Part 79. For the purpose of registration, the following is required to be submitted by each manufacturer of a designated fuel (40 CFR 79.11): (See EPA Form 3520-12, Fuel Manufacturer Notification for Motor Vehicle Fuel, and instructions, www.epa.gov/otaq.

  	Note that in item 21 above, the EPA would be notified in writing if certain information, listed in the regulations, were to change. This is accomplished by a brief letter, and involves minor issues such as an additional name under which the additive will be sold. This will be referred to later in this ICR as an "additive notification update."

 	Additive manufacturers are also required to report annually the following information for each registered additive (40 CFR Part 79.5(b)): (See EPA Form 3520-13A, Fuel Additive Manufacturer Annual Report, and instructions, and, if reporting for more than 16 additives, EPA Form 3520-13B, Supplemental Additive Manufacturer Annual Report.)

 7.	Indication of which portions of the form are confidential;
 8.	Signature, date, printed name, title, phone, fax, e-mail;
 9. 	Indication if a supplemental report is attached.

 	Additive manufacturers who are merely relabeling a registered additive or blend of registered additives are not required to submit an annual report, since the information would be covered by the original manufacturer(s).

 	Fuel manufacturers are also required to report quarterly the following information for each registered gasoline and diesel fuel (40 CFR 79.5(a)(1)): (See EPA Form 3520-12Q, Fuel Manufacturer Quarterly Report for Motor Vehicle Gasoline or Diesel Fuel, and instructions.)

 There are no recordkeeping requirements.

 	 (ii)	Respondent Activities

 	The following activities are required:

 1.	Read or hear the regulations at 40 CFR Part 79 and the instructions for each of the applicable forms;
 2.	Gather information from company files;
 3.	Review the information;
 4.	Enter information onto the forms and sign;
 5.	If indicated on the forms that additional information is attached, copy such information;
 6.	Transmit the information.

 5.	THE INFORMATION COLLECTED--AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION 	METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

 	5(a)	Agency Activities

 	The following activities are required:

 1.	Respond to inquiries on the reporting requirements;
 2.	Mail copies of the forms/instructions, regulations, list of all registered additives, list of 	registered gasoline detergent additives, list of registered diesel additives, and/or list of 	registered fuels upon request;
 3.	Review the forms and other submitted data;
 4.	Contact the manufacturer when the information has not been submitted in accordance  	with the regulations and discuss how the problem can be resolved;
 5.	Store the information in hard copy;
 6.	Enter the data submitted on the forms into the database.
 7.	Issue a letter to the manufacturer for each fuel and additive that is registered;
 8.	Administer a contract for the day-to-day operation of the registration program;
 9.	Maintain rigorous security for the protection of confidential business information;
 10.	Maintain a record of all confidential business information provided to the contractor;
 11.	Maintain computer hardware and software;
 12.	Provide general program oversight.

 	5(b)	Collection Methodology and Management

 	The manufacturers are completing forms which are very straightforward and whose basic structure dates back to 1975. We have not had complaints on the design of the forms.
 Much of the information is maintained in the normal course of business, such as the chemical composition of an additive and its annual production. For information which may not normally be maintained, such as mechanisms of reaction, the manufacturer is not required to search beyond its company files. EPA and its contractor review the forms and in some cases the manufacturer must be contacted for clarification or additional information. Since most of the information is claimed as CBI, the data are handled in a secure environment. Data are input and reports generated on workstations located entirely within the locked facility and connected to the network through direct connections. EPA personnel routinely compare the data that have been entered into the database with hard copy. The facility is protected by an advanced security system.

 	All of the forms and instructions are available for downloading at: www.epa.gov/otaq. Manufacturers may also submit the quarterly and annual reports in the format of their choice, including on diskette, if they prefer not to use the forms.

 	5(c)	Small Entity Flexibility

 	The reporting requirements have been kept as simple as possible to minimize the burden on all manufacturers. EPA is not aware of any simpler format to provide the chemical descriptions and related information. Changes to the regulations in 1997 removed many small businesses from the program, by excluding those who only add oxygenates or small amounts of additives to fuels, from the definition of a fuel manufacturer. For manufacturers who merely relabel additives, which are usually small businesses, the one-time notification is very simple, and there are no periodic reporting requirements.

 	5(d)	Collection Schedule

 	For the manufacturer of a fuel, there is a one-time registration for the fuel, and an on-occasion requirement to inform the Agency if the information provided for registration were to change. There are also quarterly and annual reports that a fuel manufacturer is required to submit for the registered fuel.

 	For the manufacturer of a fuel additive, there is a one-time registration for the additive, and an on-occasion requirement to inform the Agency if the information provided for registration were to change. There is also an annual report that the additive manufacturer is required to submit for the registered additive.

 6.	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND THE COST OF THE COLLECTION

 	6(a) and (b)	Estimating Respondent Burden and Costs

 	Estimating the burden is straightforward. For the most part, the manufacturer is collecting and reporting information that is available in the normal conduct of business, such as product composition and production volume. Other information, such as health-effects data, only have to be reported if they reside in the company files. No searching beyond company files is required. There are no recordkeeping requirements. There are no third party activities. Thus, there are no capital/start-up costs. The only operating and maintenance (O&M) cost is for copying and postage for each submission. Instead of including this in each burden table, a cost of $5.00 per submission will be included in the total burden estimate.

 	In discussions with fewer than 10 fuel and fuel additive manufacturers, four labor categories were identified as having involvement: managerial, legal, professional/technical (prof/tech), and clerical. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, May 2014 National Occupational Employment and Wage Estimates, mean wages were:

 Wages
 Managerial 	$62.80 per hour
 Legal		$64.17 per hour
 Prof/Tech	$46.321 per hour
 Clerical	$17.08 per hour

 	Doubling for company overhead and employing a 2% annual inflation factor to bring the rates to the year 2016, and, for convenience, rounding up to the nearest dollar, gives the follow rates that will be used in this ICR:

 Total Employer Cost
 Managerial	$130 per hour
 Legal		$134 per hour
 Prof/Tech	$ 96 per hour
 Clerical	$ 36 per hour

 	The labor mix for the activities above will be about the same for each. It is assumed that for each hour of activity the mix will be about 0.05 hour managerial, 0.05 hour legal, 0.7 hour professional/technical, and 0.2 hour clerical. This gives an average labor cost of about $90 per hour, which will be used in this ICR. The burden estimates for each activity are the same as for the previous ICR. That is, a fuel manufacturer notification will require eight hours on average to complete. Likewise, the fuel additive manufacturer notification will require eight hours to complete. The additive update, fuel update, and additive annual report each require one hour on average to complete. The fuel annual and fuel quarterly reports each require three hours on average to complete.

 Cost per Report

 Fuel Manufacturer Notification - 8 hours @ $90 = $720

 Fuel Notification Update - 1 hour @ $90 = $90

 Fuel Additive Manufacturer Notification - 8 hours @ $90 = $720

 Additive Notification Update - 1 hour @ $90 = $90

 Additive Manufacturer Annual Report - 1 hour @ $90 = $90

 Fuel Manufacturer Quarterly Report - 3 hours @ $90 = $270

 Fuel Manufacturer Annual Report - 3 hours @ $90 = $270

       6(c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

 	The Agency activities listed in section 5(a) are handled primarily by contractor personnel for about $250,000 per year. A part time Senior Environmental Employee (SEE) is employed at $15,000 per year for data entry. Portions of the following EPA personnel are involved (with a 1.6 factor to include overhead):
 	GS -14 Environmental Engineer (EE), $120K x 1.6=$192K
 	GS-13 Chemical Engineer (CE), $100K x 1.6=$160K
 	GS-13 Program Analyst (PA), $100K x 1.6=$160K
 	GS-13 Computer Specialist (CS), $100K x 1.6=$160K

 	6(d) and (e)	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs, and 				Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs

 	The following worksheet is based on an inventory of 800 registered fuels (up from 760 in the previous ICR) and 8,500 registered additives (up from 7,700 the previous ICR). Of the additives, about 3,500 are relabels or mixtures of registered additives, so only 8,500-3,500 = 5,000 additives will require annual reports. Recent data indicate that EPA is receiving approximately 50 new fuel notifications, 100 fuel notification updates, 400 new additive notifications, and 300 additive notification updates annually. For the previous ICR these values were 75, 200, 500, and 200 respectively.

 Fuel Annual		800			3.0/$270			2400/$216,000

 Fuel Quarterly		3200			3.0/$270			9600/$864,000

 Totals			9,850							21,000/$1,890,000

 	Thus, the net burden to industry is 21,000 hours and $1,890,000, plus 9,850 submissions (responses) x $5.00 each for copying and postage, or $49,250+$1,890,000=$1,939,250. (The net burden for the previous ICR was $1,898,875.)  The burden is gauged per form. Some manufacturers have hundreds of products, some have only one or two. Per section 6(c), the annual burden to the government is 2808 hours and $497,000. It is recommended that the above costs be increased 2% annually for inflation.

 	6(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden

 	Although there has been a decrease in the rate of requests for new registrations, the total number of registered fuels and additives continues to increase, resulting in an increase in the number of required periodic reports. This has resulted in a small increase in the cost and hour burdens. The following worksheet summarizes the changes in burden hours:

 Worksheet 11: Changes in Burden - Hours

 Form		Previous 	Requested	Change	Reason
 additive
 notification	4000		3200		-800		adjustment

 additive
 update		200		300		+100		adjustment

 additive
 annual		4200		5000		+800		adjustment

 fuel
 notification	600		400		-200		adjustment

 fuel
 annual		2280		2400		+120		adjustment

 fuel
 quarterly	9120		9600		+480		adjustment

 fuel
 update		200		100		-100		adjustment

 totals		20,600		21,000		+400

 	There is an increase of 400 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB.  This increase is due to an increase in the number of registered fuels and fuel additives for which peroidic reports are required. The number of respondents stayed the same with an estimate of 2,975 respondents. The number of responses increased by 875 to a total of 9,850 responses. The number of hours increased by 400 to a total of 21,000. The O&M Costs increased by $4,375 to a total of $49,250.

 	6(g)	Burden Statements

 	Burden Statement:  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about 2 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; 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. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

 	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0894, which is available for public viewing at the Office of Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2019-0528; FRL-10007-00-Region 9]

Air Plan Approval; California; Northern Sierra Air Quality
Management District; Reasonably Available Control Technology;
Correcting Amendment

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

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

SUMMARY: On January 15, 2020, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
published in the Federal Register a final rule entitled ``Air Plan
Approval; California; Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District;
Reasonably Available Control Technology.'' That publication
inadvertently listed in the regulatory text the wrong document number
for a document entitled ``Control Techniques Guidelines for the Oil and
Natural Gas Industry.'' This document corrects this error in the
regulatory text.

DATES: This document is effective on April 3, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stanley Tong, Rules Office (Air 3-2),
EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105. By phone:
(415) 947-4122 or by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 15, 2020 (85 FR 2313), the EPA
published a final rule entitled ``Air Plan Approval; California;
Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District; Reasonably Available
Control Technology''. This rule approved a revision to the California
State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act consisting of the
Northern Sierra Air Quality Management District's demonstration that
its rules satisfied applicable requirements regarding reasonably
available control technology. Due to a typographical error, the EPA's
final rule published on January 15, 2020, inadvertently listed the
wrong document number for a document entitled ``Control Techniques
Guidelines for the Oil and Natural Gas Industry,'' which could make it
difficult for members of the public to locate the document. The correct
document number and title are: EPA-453/B-16-001 Oil and Natural Gas
Industry. This action corrects the erroneous document number in Table 1
of 40 CFR 52.222(a)(9)(iv).
    The EPA has determined that this action falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes
agencies to dispense with public participation where public notice and
comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest. Public notice and comment for this action is
unnecessary because the underlying rule for which this correcting
amendment has been prepared was already subject to a 30-day comment
period, and this action is merely correcting a minor typographical
error in the rule text. Further, this action is consistent with the
purpose and rationale of the final rule, which is corrected herein.
Because this action does not change the EPA's analyses or overall
actions, no purpose would be served by additional public notice and
comment. Consequently, additional public notice and comment are
unnecessary.
    The EPA also finds that there is good cause under APA section
553(d)(3) for this correction to become effective on the date of
publication of this action. Section 553(d)(3) of the APA allows an
effective date of less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise
provided by the agency for good cause found and published with the
rule.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The purpose of the 30-day waiting period
prescribed in APA section 553(d)(3) is to give affected parties a
reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare before the final
rule takes effect. This rule does not create any new regulatory
requirements such that affected parties would need time to prepare
before the rule takes effect. This action merely corrects a
typographical error in a previous rulemaking. For these reasons, the
EPA finds good cause under APA section 553(d)(3) for this correction to
become effective on the date of publication of this action.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993),
this action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore
not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to E.O. 13211, ``Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action is not
an E.O. 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory action because
this action is not significant under E.O. 12866. Because the agency has
made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not subject to
notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act
or any other statute as indicated in the Supplementary Information
section above, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility
provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or
to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly
or uniquely affect small governments or impose a significant
intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of
UMRA. In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose

substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by E.O. 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This rule will
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 governments,
as specified by E.O. 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This rule
also is not subject to E.O. 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
because it is not economically significant. This typographical
correction action does not involve technical standards; 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. The rule
also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice
related issues as required by E.O. 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994). In issuing this rule, the EPA has taken the necessary steps to
eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation,
and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by
section 3 of E.O. 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). The EPA has
complied with E.O. 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the
takings implications of the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney
General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and
Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the executive order.
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to
make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the
agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. This
determination must be supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 808(2).
As stated previously, the EPA had made such a good cause finding,
including the reasons therefore, and established an effective date
April 3, 2020. The 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 correction to
40 CFR part 52 for California is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP15-148-000]

Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Availability of
the Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Susquehanna West Project

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for the
Susquehanna West Project, proposed by Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company,
L.L.C. (TGP) in the above-referenced docket. TGP requests authorization
to construct and operate certain natural gas facilities in Tioga and
Bradford Counties, Pennsylvania.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the Susquehanna West Project in
accordance with the requirements of the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA). The FERC staff concludes that approval of the proposed
project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not constitute a
major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human
environment.
    TGP's proposed Project involves construction of approximately 8.1
miles of 36-inch-diameter looping pipeline in two segments and
modifications at three existing compressor stations, two of which would
include increased compression at the station.
    The FERC staff mailed copies of the EA to federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes;
potentially affected landowners and other interested individuals and
groups; newspapers and libraries in the project area; and parties to
this proceeding.
    In addition, the EA is available for public viewing on the FERC's
Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. A limited number of
copies of the EA are available for distribution and public inspection
at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888
First Street NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any person wishing to comment on the EA may do so. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
The more specific your comments, the more useful they will be. To
ensure that the Commission has the opportunity to consider your
comments prior to making its decision on this project, it is important
that we receive your comments in Washington, DC on or before April 18,
2016.
    For your convenience, there are three methods you can use to file
your comments to the Commission. In all instances, please reference the
project docket number (CP15-148-000) with your submission. The
Commission encourages electronic filing of comments and has expert

motion to intervene pursuant to Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedures (18 CFR 385.214).\1\ Only intervenors have the
right to seek rehearing of the Commission's decision. The Commission
grants affected landowners and others with environmental concerns
intervenor status upon showing good cause by stating that they have a
clear and direct interest in this proceeding which no other party can
adequately represent. Simply filing environmental comments will not
give you intervenor status, but you do not need intervenor status to
have your comments considered.

Airworthiness Directives; International Aero Engines AG Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500 model turbofan
engines. This AD was prompted by an inspection that determined that
material anomalies exist in certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 6
disks. This AD requires removal from service of the affected LPT stage
6 disks and their replacement with a part eligible for installation.
The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective October 15, 2019.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain IAE V2500 model
turbofan engines. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on May 20,
2019 (84 FR 22743). The NPRM was prompted by an inspection that
determined that material anomalies exist in certain LPT stage 6 disks.
The NPRM proposed to require removal from service of the affected LPT
stage 6 disks and their replacement with a part eligible for
installation. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The FAA has considered the comments
received. The Air Line Pilots Association supported the NPRM. The
Boeing Company offered no comment on the NPRM.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule as proposed--except for minor
editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed IAE Alert Service Bulletin (ASB) V2500-ENG-72-
A0697, Revision No. 1, dated November 27, 2018. The ASB describes
procedures for removal of the affected LPT stage 6 disks.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1 engine installed on an
airplane of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                         hour = $11,050.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    The FAA is 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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30866 ; Amdt. No. 3501]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective November 6, 2012. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of November 6, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20591;

    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Divisions, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,

City, OK. 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before

adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are impracticable and
contrary to the public interest and, where applicable, that good cause
exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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 so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

[Docket No. FDA-2010-N-0002]

New Animal Drugs for Use in Animal Feeds; Chlortetracycline

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect approval of a supplemental new animal drug
application (NADA) filed by ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc. The
supplemental NADA provides for use of a higher concentration
chlortetracycline Type A medicated article for the manufacture of
medicated feeds for livestock and poultry.

DATES:  This rule is effective March 2, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Cindy L. Burnsteel, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-130), Food and Drug Administration, 7500
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: ADM Alliance Nutrition, Inc., 1000 North
30th St., Quincy, IL 62305-3115, filed a supplement to NADA 48-480 that
provides for the use of CHLORATET 50 (chlortetracycline), a Type A
medicated article containing 50 grams of chlortetracycline per pound,
for the manufacture of medicated feeds for livestock and poultry. The
supplement provides for use of Type A medicated articles containing 90
or 100 grams of chlortetracycline per pound. The supplemental NADA is
approved as of January 7, 2010, and the regulations are amended in 21
CFR 558.128 to reflect the approval.
    Approval of this supplemental NADA did not require review of
additional safety or effectiveness data or information. Therefore, a
freedom of information summary is not required.
    FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.33 that this action is of a type
that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on
the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental assessment
nor an environmental impact statement is required.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

List of Subject in 21 CFR Part 558

    Animal drugs, animal feeds.
