14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0611; Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-11]

Proposed Amendment of Class D Airspace; Santa Monica, CA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This SNPRM would further modify the Class D airspace area at
Santa Monica Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA. In a NPRM published
in the Federal Register of October, 27, 2011, the FAA proposed to
create additional Class D airspace at Santa Monica Municipal Airport.
The FAA has reassessed the proposal and finds that further enlargement
of the airspace area is necessary for the safety and management of
Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in the Santa Monica, CA, area.
The geographic coordinates of the airport also would be adjusted.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 9, 2013.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590;
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>. You must identify FAA Docket No. FAA-2011-
0611; Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-11, at the beginning of your comments.
You may also submit comments through the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov.

Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 27, 2011, the FAA published a NPRM to modify Class D
airspace, at Santa Monica Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA (76 FR
66662). The comment period closed December 12, 2011. No comments were
received. Subsequent to publication, the Los Angeles Visual Flight
Rules (VFR) Airspace Task Force identified airspace in the areas
adjacent to Los Angeles International Airport as highly congested with
participating and non-participating VFR aircraft. This action would
increase the level of safety for aircraft in the Santa Monica, CA,
airspace area. The FAA seeks comments on this SNPRM.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
    Communications should identify both docket numbers (FAA Docket No.
FAA 2011-0611 and Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-11) and be submitted in
triplicate to the Docket Management System (see ADDRESSES section for
address and phone number). You may also submit comments through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov.
    Commenters wishing the FAA to acknowledge receipt of their comments
on this action must submit with those comments a self-addressed stamped
postcard on which the following statement is made: ``Comments to FAA
Docket No. FAA-2011-0611 and Airspace Docket No. 11-AWP-11''. The
postcard will be date/time stamped and returned to the commenter.
    All communications received on or before the specified closing date
for comments will be considered before taking action on the proposed
rule. The proposal contained in this action may be changed in light of
comments received. All comments submitted will be available for
examination in the public docket both before and after the closing date
for comments. A report summarizing each substantive public contact with
FAA personnel concerned with this rulemaking will be filed in the
docket.

Availability of NPRM's

    An electronic copy of this document may be downloaded through the
Internet at http://www.regulations.gov. Recently published rulemaking
documents can also be accessed through the FAA's Web page at http://www.faa.gov/airports_airtraffic/air_traffic/publications/airspace_amendments/.
    You may review the public docket containing the proposal, any
comments received, and any final disposition in person in the Dockets
Office (see the ADDRESSES section for the address and phone number)
between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except federal
holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Northwest Mountain Regional Office of the Federal
Aviation Administration, Air Traffic Organization, Western Service
Center, Operations Support Group, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA
98057.
    Persons interested in being placed on a mailing list for future
NPRM's should contact the FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
for a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Supplemental Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by further modifying the size of the Class
D airspace area at Santa Monica Municipal Airport, Santa Monica, CA, to
accommodate IFR aircraft departing and arriving at the airport. The
airspace would be increased from a 2.7-mile radius to a 4-mile radius
of the airport, leaving the extension to the northeast the same as the
NPRM. The geographic coordinates of the airport would also be updated
to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database. Expanding the current
Santa Monica Municipal Airport Class D airspace would reduce those
areas that pose a high collision risk to low level commercial, general
aviation, military and helicopter operations.
    Class D airspace designations are published in paragraph 5000, of
FAA Order 7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15,
2012, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation; (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. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would modify controlled airspace at Santa Monica Municipal
Airport, Santa Monica, CA.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    FMCSA encourages you to participate by submitting comments and
related materials.

Submitting Comments

    If you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
notice (FMCSA-2012-0032), indicate the specific section of this
document to which the comment applies, and provide a reason for
suggestions or recommendations. You may submit your comments and
material online or by fax, mail, or hand delivery, but please use only
one of these means. FMCSA recommends that you include your name and a
mailing address, an email address, or a phone number in the body of
your document so the Agency can contact you if it has questions
regarding your submission.
    To submit your comment online, go to www.regulations.gov and put
the docket number (``FMCSA-2012-0032'') in the keyword box, and click
``Search.'' Next, sort the results by ``Posted (Newer-Older),'' choose
the first notice listed, click the ``Comment'' button, and type your
comment into the text box on the following screen. Choose whether you
are submitting your comment as an individual or on behalf of a third
party and then submit. If you submit your comments by mail or hand
delivery, submit them in an unbound format, no larger than 8\1/2\ by 11
inches, suitable for copying and electronic filing. If you submit
comments by mail and would like to know that they reached the facility,
please enclose a stamped, self-addressed postcard or envelope. FMCSA
will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs).
FMCSA must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an
opportunity to inspect the information relevant to the application,
including any safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must
provide an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews safety analyses and public comments submitted
and determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The Agency must
publish its decision in the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)) with
the reasons for denying or granting the application and, if granted,
the name of the person or class of persons receiving the exemption and
the regulatory provision from which the exemption is granted. The
notice must specify the effective period and explain the terms and
conditions of the exemption. The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.300(b)).

III. Applicant's Request

    Daimler has applied for an exemption for Dr. Andreas Gorbach from
49 CFR 383.23, which prescribes licensing requirements for drivers
operating CMVs in interstate or intrastate commerce. Dr. Gorbach is
unable to obtain a CDL due to his lack of residency in the United
States. The exemption would enable Dr. Andreas Gorbach to operate CMVs
in interstate or intrastate commerce to support Daimler field tests
designed to meet future vehicle safety and environmental requirements.
Dr. Gorbach holds a valid German commercial license, and Daimler
believes the requirements for that license ensure that the same level
of safety will be met or exceeded. According to Daimler, Dr. Gorbach
will be accompanied at all times by an experienced Daimler CDL holder
who is familiar with the routes to be traveled in

case of any unforeseen circumstance. Daimler requests that the
exemption cover the maximum allowable duration of five years.
    A copy of Daimler's application for exemption is available for
review in the docket for this notice.

IV. Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b), FMCSA requests public
comment from all interested persons on Daimler's application for an
exemption from the requirement in 49 CFR 383. All comments received
before the close of business on the comment closing date indicated at
the beginning of this notice will be considered and will be available
for examination in the docket at the location listed under the
Addresses section of this notice. Comments received after the comment
closing date will be filed in the public docket and will be considered
to the extent practicable.
    In addition to late comments, FMCSA will also continue to file, in
the public docket, relevant information that becomes available after
the comment closing date. Interested persons should continue to examine
the public docket for new material.

Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy.

Recommended Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criterion for
Selenium in Freshwater

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the
release of a final updated Clean Water Act (CWA) section 304(a)
recommended national chronic aquatic life criterion for the pollutant
selenium in fresh water. The final criterion supersedes EPA's 1999 CWA
section 304(a) recommended national acute and chronic aquatic life
criteria for selenium. The 2016 recommended criterion reflects the
latest scientific information, which indicates that selenium toxicity
to aquatic life is primarily based on organisms consuming selenium-
contaminated food rather than direct exposure to selenium dissolved in
water. Draft versions of the criterion underwent public review in 2014
and 2015 and external peer review in 2015. EPA considered all public
comments and peer reviewer comments in the development of the 2016
final selenium criterion document. EPA's water quality criterion for
selenium provides recommendations to states and tribes authorized to
establish water quality standards under the CWA.

Register'' listings FDSys (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collection.action?collectionCode=FR).

II. What are EPA's recommended water quality criteria?

    EPA's recommended water quality criteria are scientifically derived
numeric values that protect aquatic life or human health from the
deleterious effects of pollutants in ambient water. Section 304(a)(1)
of the CWA directs EPA to develop and publish and, from time to time,
revise criteria for protection of aquatic life and human health that
accurately reflect the latest scientific knowledge. Water quality
criteria developed under section 304(a) are based on data and the
latest scientific knowledge on the relationship between pollutant
concentrations and environmental and human health effects. Section
304(a) criteria do not reflect consideration of economic impacts or the
technological feasibility of meeting pollutant concentrations in
ambient water.
    EPA's section 304(a) recommended criteria provide technical
information to states and authorized tribes in adopting water quality
standards (WQS) that ultimately provide a basis for assessing water
body health and controlling discharges or releases of pollutants. Under
the CWA and its implementing regulations, states and authorized tribes
are to adopt water quality criteria to protect designated uses (e.g.,
public water supply, aquatic life, recreational use, or industrial
use). EPA's recommended water quality criteria do not substitute for
the CWA or regulations, nor are they regulations themselves. EPA's
recommended criteria do not impose legally binding requirements. States
and authorized tribes have the discretion to adopt, where appropriate,
other scientifically defensible water quality criteria that differ from
these recommendations.

III. What is selenium and why is EPA concerned about it?

    Selenium is a naturally occurring element that can be released into
water resources by natural sources via weathering and by anthropogenic
sources, such as surface mining, coal-fired power plants, and irrigated
agriculture. Selenium is nutritionally essential for animals in small
amounts, but toxic at higher concentrations. Selenium bioaccumulates in
the aquatic food chain, and toxicity in fish occurs primarily through
maternal transfer to the eggs. Chronic maternal exposure in fish and
aquatic invertebrates can cause reproductive impairments (e.g., larval
deformity or mortality); other aquatic effects include impacts on
juvenile growth and mortality.

IV. Information on the Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criterion

    EPA has updated the aquatic life criterion document for selenium
based on the latest scientific knowledge and current EPA policies and
methods, including EPA's Guidelines for Deriving Numerical National
Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic Organisms and
Their Uses (1985) (EPA/R-85-100) and Guidelines for Ecological Risk
Assessment (1998) (EPA/630/R-95/002F). Toxicity data and other
information on the effects of selenium were subjected to both internal
and external peer review. In 2004, EPA published the first draft of the
updated recommended selenium criterion using fish-tissue
concentrations. In 2009, EPA helped organize an international expert
workshop on selenium and initiated collaboration with the U.S.
Geological Survey to develop a selenium bioaccumulation model. EPA then
revised the 2004 draft criterion to include fish tissue and water
column concentrations. In 2014, EPA released the draft recommended
criterion for public comment and external peer review. EPA revised the
draft recommended criterion accordingly and in 2015 released the draft
for a second round of public comment. EPA has considered all public
comments and peer reviewer comments in the development of the 2016
final selenium criterion document.
    The 2016 selenium criterion document recommends that states and
authorized tribes adopt a multi-media criterion into their water
quality standards. The criterion has four elements, and EPA recommends
that states include all four elements in their standards. Because
adverse reproductive effects are most closely linked to selenium
concentrations in fish tissue, the 2016 chronic criterion is based
primarily on concentrations in fish egg-ovary tissues and is translated
into whole body, muscle, and water column concentrations for lakes/
reservoirs and rivers/streams to create the four elements of the
chronic criterion (two fish tissue and two water column). EPA
recommends that when implementing the criterion, the fish tissue
elements take precedence over the water column elements, except in
certain circumstances. For example, water column values are the
applicable criterion element in the absence of fish tissue
measurements, such as waters where fish have been extirpated or where
physical habitat and/or flow regime cannot sustain fish populations, or
in waters with new discharges of selenium where steady state has not
been achieved between water and fish tissue at the site. The previous
1999 acute and chronic recommended criteria were water column
concentrations only. The table below compares the 2016 criterion with
the 1999 criteria.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ A note on hierarchy of table: when fish egg/ovary concentrations are measured, the values supersede any whole-body, muscle, or water column elements
  except in certain situations. Whole body or muscle measurements supersede any water column element when both fish tissue and water concentrations are
  measured, except in certain situations (see examples in text above). Water column values are derived from fish tissue concentrations.

    The criterion document does not include an acute criterion (based
on water-only exposure) because selenium is bioaccumulative and
toxicity primarily occurs through dietary exposure. EPA derived an
intermittent exposure criterion element from the 30-day average water
column criterion element for situations where elevated inputs of
selenium could result in bioaccumulation in the ecosystem and potential
chronic effects in fish (e.g., new discharges).

V. What is the relationship between the water quality criterion and
your state or tribal water quality standards?

    As part of the WQS triennial review process defined in section
303(c)(1) of the CWA, the states and authorized tribes are responsible
for maintaining and revising WQS. Standards consist of designated uses,
water quality criteria to protect those uses, a policy for
antidegradation, and may include general policies for application and
implementation. Section 303(c)(1) requires states and authorized tribes
to review and modify, if appropriate, their WQS at least once every
three years.
    States and authorized tribes must adopt water quality criteria that
protect designated uses. Consistent with EPA's regulations at 40 CFR
131.11(a), protective criteria must be based on a sound scientific
rationale and contain sufficient parameters or constituents to protect
the designated uses. Criteria may be expressed in either narrative or
numeric form. States and authorized tribes have four options when
adopting water quality criteria for which EPA has published section
304(a) criteria. They may:
    (1) Establish numerical values based on recommended section 304(a)
criteria;
    (2) Adopt section 304(a) criteria modified to reflect site-specific
conditions;
    (3) Adopt criteria derived using other scientifically defensible
methods; or
    (4) Establish narrative criteria where numeric criteria cannot be
established or to supplement numerical criteria (40 CFR 131.11(b)).
    EPA's regulation at 40 CFR 131.20(a) provides that if a state does
not adopt new or revised criteria parameters for which EPA has
published new or updated recommendations, then the state shall provide
an explanation when it submits the results of its triennial review to
the Regional Administrator consistent with CWA section 303(c)(1). The
updated section 304(a) selenium criteria supersede EPA's previous
304(a) recommended criteria for selenium. Consistent with 40 CFR
131.21, new or revised water quality criteria adopted into law or
regulation by states and authorized tribes on or after May 30, 2000 are
applicable water quality standards for CWA purposes only after EPA
approval.

VI. Additional Information

    EPA is developing a set of technical support documents to assist
states. These materials will include fish tissue monitoring guidance as
well as FAQs and fact sheets addressing flexibilities for states and
authorized tribes in implementing the criteria, assessing and listing
water body impairments, and wastewater permitting.
