BILLING CODE 4910-EX-P


Memorandum
To:  Clean Power Plan Docket
Subject:  MATS Supreme Court Decision has Little Impact on the Clean Power Plan
Date: August 3, 2015
     On June 29, 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a portion of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (D.C. Circuit) decision upholding the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS).  Specifically, the Court reversed the D.C. Circuit's conclusion that EPA was not required to consider cost when determining whether regulation of EGUs was "appropriate and necessary" pursuant to section 112(n)(1) of the Clean Air Act.
     This decision does not affect the analyses done to develop the Clean Power Plan (CPP) goals and will have little, if any, impact on its implementation.  EPA has explicitly taken cost considerations into account in developing the CPP.  In addition, the approach EPA used to set state goals under the CPP relies on power sector data from 2012  -  data that is unaffected by MATS which has a 2015 compliance deadline.  Moreover, many units affected by MATS are already in compliance with that standard and the actions the industry has taken or announced in response to MATS are not actions that can be easily reversed.
      Most investments for MATS compliance have been made: More than half of the units that are subject to MATS came into compliance in April 2015.  The rest, over 400 units, received one-year extensions for compliance from their states and are planning to come into compliance or retire by April 16 of next year or sooner.  Based on numerous conversations that EPA staff has had with the industry and with the grid operators, EPA is informed that those that are planning on coming into compliance are well on the way to completing MATS related retrofits.  In addition, some controls that units are currently running are needed to comply with other requirements, such as the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, state control requirements, consent decrees, regional haze or state permit requirements.  Decisions to discontinue using controls, while having potentially serious adverse effects on public health locally or regionally, would have little impact in terms of CPP compliance.  The operation of pollution controls requires a small amount of energy from the power plant itself (sometimes referred to as an "energy penalty"), such that when controls are turned off, the economics of the facility might be altered in a way that could result in changes in CO2 emissions.  The cost to operate these units may also decrease, and thus electricity generated from these plants might be slightly more competitive. However, these factors are likely to result in very small differences for power plant operators, and are not likely to have a substantial impact on expectations of future CO2 emissions and the cost of compliance with the CPP.
Coal and Oil Plant Retirements: In the past decade, there have been significant changes in both the mix of generating capacity and in the share of electricity generation supplied by different types of generation.  As EPA stated in the Regulatory Impact Analysis for the CPP, these result from multiple changes taking place in the power sector, including normal replacements of older generating units with new units, changes in the electricity intensity of the US economy, economic growth and regional changes in the US population, technological improvements in electricity generation from both existing and new units, changes in the prices and availability of different fuels, and substantial growth in electricity generation by renewable and distributed generation (to name a few). The evolving economics of the power sector, in particular the increased natural gas supply and relatively low natural gas prices, have resulted in more gas being used as base load energy in addition to supplying electricity during peak load. Thus it is not surprising that since MATS was promulgated there have been a number of coal retirements.  SNL reports that from January 2012 through July 9, 2015, 198 units totaling 33 GW of coal capacity have retired.  In the changed environment of the power sector, these units are no longer economic to run. It would be a mistake to assume that these retirements were all, or even mostly, the result of MATS.  In EPA's economic analysis of MATS, the agency estimated that less than 5 GW of capacity would retire as a result of MATS.  Moreover, most plant retirements are permanent. Plants that have retired are often torn down, coal contracts are given up, waste cleanup and remediation begins, and access to transmission service is terminated.  In many cases, new cleaner replacement capacity has come on line with new transmission lines and other infrastructure or transmission upgrades have been made so that the plant is no longer needed.  These changes are reflected in EPA's projections for CPP compliance.
	There are an additional 12 GW of coal and oil capacity that are projected to retire by April, 2016 according to the Energy Information Administration.  As previously stated, there are many reasons that the operators of these plants choose to retire them, and many of those reasons are unrelated to MATS.  Many large power generators have already said that they would not alter their plans to retire plants because of the Supreme Court decision.  Moreover, even if some units did decide to delay their retirement plans, it would not alter the CPP emission guidelines, performance rates, and state goals since the methods and approach used by EPA uses the historical 2012 adjusted baseline for purposes of applying its "best system of emission reduction."

Airworthiness Directives; ATR--GIE Avions de Transport
R[eacute]gional Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2015-23-
12, for all ATR--GIE Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42
and ATR72 airplanes. AD 2015-23-12 currently requires identifying the
serial number and part number of the main landing gear (MLG) rear hinge
pins, and replacing pins or the MLG if necessary. Since we issued AD
2015-23-12, we have received a new report of a certain cracked MLG
hinge pin on a Model ATR42 airplane. We have determined that certain
additional MLG hinge pins must be replaced, and certain compliance
times must be reduced. This proposed AD would require identifying the
serial number and part number of the MLG rear hinge pins, and replacing
pins if necessary. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by July 17, 2017.

Discussion

    On November 12, 2015, we issued AD 2015-23-12, Amendment 39-18329
(80 FR 73096, November 24, 2015) (``AD 2015-23-12''), for all ATR--GIE
Avions de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. AD
2015-23-12 was prompted by new occurrences of certain cracked MLG rear
hinge pins. AD 2015-23-12 requires identifying the serial number and
part number of the MLG rear hinge pins, and replacing pins or the MLG
if necessary. We issued AD 2015-23-12 to detect and correct cracked
rear hinge pins, which could lead to MLG structural failure, possibly
resulting in collapse of the MLG and consequent injury to the occupants
of the airplane.
    Since we issued AD 2015-23-12, we have received a new report of a
cracked MLG hinge pin having P/N D62055 on a Model ATR42 airplane. We
have determined that certain additional MLG hinge pins must be
replaced, and certain compliance times must be reduced.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0135, dated July 8, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all ATR--GIE Avions
de Transport R[eacute]gional Model ATR42 and ATR72 airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    Prompted by cases of rupture of main landing gear (MLG) rear
hinge pin part number (P/N) D61000 encountered in service in 1994
and 1996, DGAC [Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de l'Aviation
Civile] France issued AD 96-131-064 (B) for ATR42 aeroplanes and AD
96-096-029 (B) for ATR72 aeroplanes to

require inspection and, depending on findings, corrective action.
Since those [French] ADs were issued, new occurrences of cracked
rear hinge pin P/N [part number] D61000 were reported on ATR72 MLG.
The result of subsequent investigation revealed that the affected
pins were subjected to a non-detected thermal abuse done in
production during grinding process. Analysis also showed that other
MLG pin P/N's could be affected by the same production issue.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
structural failure and consequent collapse of the MLG, possibly
resulting in damage to the aeroplane and injury to the occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, EASA issued AD 2014-
0074 [which corresponds to FAA AD 2015-23-12] to require inspection
and, depending on findings, replacement of affected pins.
    After EASA AD 2014-0074 was issued, a new occurrence was
reported of a cracked MLG hinge pin P/N D62055 installed on the MLG
Side Brace of an ATR42 aeroplane. This new occurrence was also
identified as related to a non-detected thermal abuse done in
production during grinding process.
    Prompted by this new occurrence, Messier Bugatti Dowty (MBD)
updated the list of MLG hinge pins affected by this unsafe condition
by adding serial numbers (S/N), which were previously not considered
by EASA AD 2014-0074. In addition, it was determined that the
compliance time for replacement of pins with P/N D62055 must be
reduced. The six affected MBD Service Bulletins (SB) were revised
accordingly, and six new ones were also published to address this
issue.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD retains the
requirements of EASA AD 2014-0074, which is superseded, but
addresses an expanded MLG hinge pin population with appropriate
compliance time(s).

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-2017-
0516.

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.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the MCAI or Service
Information

    In MCAI table 1 and table 2, the MCAI specifies the compliance time
terminology, ``whichever occurs later,'' between compliance time A and
B. However, this proposed AD specifies the phrase, ``whichever occurs
first,'' instead of ``whichever occurs later.'' This difference has
been coordinated with EASA and ATR--GIE Avions de Transport
R[eacute]gional.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 63 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2015-23-12, and retained in this
proposed AD take about 8 work-hours per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $16,000 per
product. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the actions that
are required by AD 2015-23-12 is $16,680 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 8 work-hours per product
to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about
$16,000 per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of
this proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $1,050,840, or $16,680 per
product.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Public Participation and Request for Comments

    This notice relies on the authority of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., chapter 35, as amended. An ICR is an
application to OIRA seeking the approval, extension, or renewal of a
Coast Guard collection of information (Collection). The ICR contains
information describing the Collection's purpose, the Collection's
likely burden on the affected public, an explanation of the necessity
of the Collection, and other important information describing the
Collection. There is one ICR for each Collection.
    The Coast Guard invites comments on whether this ICR should be
granted based on the Collection being necessary for the proper
performance of Departmental functions. In particular, the Coast Guard
would appreciate comments addressing: (1) The practical utility of the
Collection; (2) the accuracy of the estimated burden of the Collection;
(3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of information
subject to the Collection; and (4) ways to minimize the burden of the
Collection on respondents, including the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. These comments
will help OIRA determine whether to approve the ICR referred to in this
Notice.
    We encourage you to respond to this request by submitting comments
and related materials. Comments to Coast Guard or OIRA must contain the
OMB Control Number of the ICR. They must also contain the docket number
of this request, [USCG-2014-0713], and must be received by December 22,
2021.

Submitting Comments

    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using https://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the

Previous Request for Comments

    This request provides a 30-day comment period required by OIRA. The
Coast Guard published the 60-day notice (86 FR 40604, July 28, 2021)
required by 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2). The U.S. Coast Guard Office of
Auxiliary and Boating Safety received one comment in response to our
60-day notice. The commenter expressed their support for the collection
of information stating that the USCG should be allowed to collect the
necessary information. The commenter also stated this rule is likely to
result in a reduced reporting burden for the states; this, however, is
in comparison to the form(s) the states have been using for the annual
summary and submission of recreational vessel registration data to the
Coast Guard, and not with regard to the substantial data collection and
capture requirements that were imposed by the final rule. The commenter
continued by stating they strongly encourage the expeditious, formal
approval of this information collection request and authorization of
the accompanying Form CGHQ-3923 to alleviate uncertainties among the
states as to how and to what level of detail these data should be
reported to the Coast Guard; and, they strongly encourage the Coast
Guard's development and adoption of instructions for the states' use in
completing both the Application for Certificate of Number (33 CFR
174.17) and the Form CGHQ-3923, for the sake of data consistency.
Accordingly, no changes have been made to the Collection.

Information Collection Request

    Title: State Registration Data.
    OMB Control Number: 1625-NEW.
    Summary: This Notice provides information on the collection of
registration data from the State reporting authorities.
    Need: Title 46 U.S.C. 12302 and 33 CFR 174.123 authorizes the
collection of this information.
    Forms: CG-3923, State Registration Data.
    Respondents: 56 State reporting authorities respond.
    Frequency: Annually.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0105; FRL-9947-69-Region 9]

Limited Approval, Limited Disapproval of California Air Plan
Revisions, Eastern Kern Air Pollution Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing a

Kern Air Pollution Control District (EKAPCD) portion of the California
State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile
organic compounds (VOC) emitted from motor vehicle and mobile equipment
refinishing operations. Under the authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or the Act), this action simultaneously approves a local rule that
regulates these emission sources and directs California to correct rule
deficiencies.

DATES: This rule will be effective on August 24, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2016-0105 for
this action. Generally, documents in the docket for this action are
available electronically at http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy
at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105-

I. Proposed Action

    On April 15, 2016 (81 FR 22204), the EPA proposed a limited
approval and limited disapproval of the following rule that was
submitted for incorporation into the California SIP.

                                             Table 1--Submitted Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Local agency                 Rule No.             Rule title             Amended         Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EKAPCD............................          410.4A   Motor Vehicle and Mobile         03/13/14         07/25/14
                                                      Equipment Refinishing
                                                      Operations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We proposed a limited approval because we determined that this rule
improves the SIP and is largely consistent with the relevant CAA
requirements. We simultaneously proposed a limited disapproval because
some rule provisions conflict with section 110 and part D of the Act.
These provisions include the following:
     Paragraph VI(A), ``VOC Content Limits,'' provides VOC
limits for cavity wax, deadener, gasket/gasket sealing material,
lubricating wax/compounds and trunk interior coatings. However, in
conflict with long-standing guidance on enforceability such as
discussed in the Bluebook, these terms are not defined in the rule.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints,
Deficiencies, and Deviations,'' (a.k.a., Bluebook) EPA OAQPS, May
25, 1988. P2-7.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Our proposed action contains more information on the basis for this
rulemaking and on our evaluation of the submittal.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period we received no comments.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA is finalizing a
limited approval of the submitted rule. This action incorporates the
submitted rule into the California SIP, including those provisions
identified as deficient. As authorized under section 110(k)(3) and
301(a), the EPA is simultaneously finalizing a limited disapproval of
the rule.
    This final limited disapproval does not trigger sanctions or a
federal implementation plan (FIP) clock. Sanctions will not be imposed
under CAA 179(b) because the submittal of Rule 410.4A is discretionary
(i.e., not required to be included in the SIP), and EPA will not
promulgate a FIP in this instance under CAA 110(c)(1) because the
disapproval does not reveal a deficiency in the SIP for the area that
such a FIP must correct. Specifically, there is no EPA control
techniques guidelines (CTG) for Motor Vehicle and Mobile Equipment
Refinishing Operations and, according to CARB's Facility Search Engine,
there are no facilities that emit VOC in the EKAPCD for this category
for the most recent

database year of 2013. Accordingly, the failure of the EKAPCD to adopt
revisions to Rule 410.4A would not adversely affect the SIP's
compliance with the CAA's requirements, such as the requirements for
section 182 ozone reasonably available control technology (RACT),
reasonable further progress, and attainment demonstrations. Note that
the submitted rule has been adopted by the EKAPCD and the EPA's final
limited disapproval does not prevent the local agency from enforcing
it. The limited disapproval also does not prevent any portion of the
rule from being incorporated by reference into the federally
enforceable SIP as discussed in a July 9, 1992 EPA memo found at:
http://www.epa.gov/nsr/ttnnsr01/gen/pdf/memo-s.pdf.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
EKAPCD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available electronically through www.regulations.gov and in hard copy
at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA because this action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities beyond those
imposed by state law.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, no additional costs to
State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, will
result from this action.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It 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 government.

F. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175, because 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, and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) of the NTTAA directs the EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would
be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. The EPA
believes that this action is not subject to the requirements of section
12(d) of the NTTAA because application of those requirements would be
inconsistent with the CAA.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

    The EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental
justice in this rulemaking.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

L. 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 September 23, 2016. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52

    Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Incorporation by
reference, Intergovernmental relations, Ozone, Particulate matter,
Reporting and recordkeeping requirements, Volatile organic compounds.
