    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group IV Polymers and Resins (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJ) were proposed on March 29, 1995; promulgated on September
12, 1996; and most-recently amended on March 27, 2014. These
regulations apply to each new and existing thermoplastic product
process units (TPPU) and associated equipment that produce the subset
of polymers and resins known as ``Group IV Polymers and Resins'' that
is a major source of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Group IV
polymers and resins include the following source categories:
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Methyl Methacrylate
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (MABS), Methyl Methacrylate Butadiene
Styrene (MABS), Nitrile Resin, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET),
Polystyrene (PS), and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). The following
processes are excluded from this rule: Research and development
facilities; polymerization processes occurring in a mold; processes
which manufacture binder systems containing thermoplastic product for
paints, coatings, or adhesives; finishing processes including equipment
such as compounding units, spinning units, drawing units, extruding
units, and other finishing steps; and solid state polymerization
processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal and meets the new source
definitions at Sec.  63.1310(i). This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJ.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Each new and existing thermoplastic
product process unit (TPPU) and associated equipment that produces the
subset of polymers and resins known as ``Group IV Polymers and Resins''
that is a major source of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 24 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
quarterly.
    Total estimated burden: 141,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $23,700,000 (per year), which includes
$7,430,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes.
The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of
respondents. This decrease was determined based on data collected as
part of other recent EPA rulemakings, including a review of chemical
manufacturing facilities identified as subject to Subpart JJJ through
review of facility air permits and EPA's ECHO and ICIS databases. Due
to the decrease in the number of identified facilities, we assume there
is zero or negative industry growth over the next three years.
Therefore, the total respondent labor burden and operation

and maintenance (O&M) costs have decreased in this ICR.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company 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 The Boeing Company Model 737-300, 737-400, 737-500, and 757-200
series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of damage
caused by electrical arcing to the wires that connect seat electronics
boxes (SEBs). This proposed AD would require installing a new relay and
doing certain wiring changes of the entertainment control switch if
necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent power from being
supplied to passenger seats when the entertainment control switch is in
the OFF position, which could cause an electrical shock hazard
resulting in serious or fatal injury to maintenance personnel.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 5,
2012.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2012-0987;
Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-130-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We received a report of an electrical arcing from a seat track
cover. An investigation found that there was damage to the wires that
connect SEBs caused by electrical arcing at a terminator. The airplane
manufacturer found that the entertainment control switch has no effect
on removing electrical power from the SEBs. This condition, if not
corrected, could supply power when the entertainment control switch is
in the OFF position, which could cause an electrical shock hazard
resulting in serious or fatal injury to maintenance personnel.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-23-1302,
dated August 24, 2009 (for Model 737-300, -400, -500 series airplanes);
and Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 757-23-0107, Revision 1,
dated May 16, 2012 (for Model 757-200 series airplanes). The service
information describes procedures for installing a new relay and doing
certain wiring changes of the entertainment control switch if
necessary.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of these same type
designs.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously, except as discussed
under ``Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service
Information.''

Differences Between the Proposed AD and the Service Information

    Note 1 in Paragraph 3.A. of the Accomplishment Instructions of
Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-23-1302, dated August 24,
2009, allows the sequence of steps to be changed. This proposed AD
would not allow the step sequence to be changed.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 28 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated costs

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

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.
