Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Flint Hills Resources, LLC Pine Bend
Refinery (FHR) as submitted on February 8, 2017. The SIP revision
pertains to the installation and removal of certain equipment at the
refinery and amendments to certain emission limits, resulting in an
overall decrease of SO2 emissions from FHR.

DATES: This final rule is effective on August 17, 2018.

IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is being addressed by this document?

    On February 8, 2017, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)
submitted a request for EPA to approve into the Minnesota SIP the
conditions cited as ``Title I Condition: 40 CFR 50.4(SO2
SIP); Title I Condition: 40 CFR 51; Title I Condition: 40 CFR pt. 52,
subp. Y'' in FHR's revised joint Title I/Title V document, Permit No.
03700011-101 (joint document 101). On April 26, 2018 (83 FR 18255), EPA
proposed to approve MPCA's February 8, 2017 submittal.
    MPCA's submittal demonstrated that joint document 101 contains
amended SIP conditions that, when combined, provide FHR with the
ability to more efficiently upgrade hydrocarbons that are distilled
from FHR's crude units into transportation fuels, primarily diesel. The
amended SIP conditions allow FHR to increase fuel production and
operate more efficiently and closer to the facility's overall
distillation capacity. MPCA's submittal demonstrated that the amended
SIP revisions reduce allowable SIP-based SO2 emissions by
95.402 pounds per hour or 249.169 tons per year. After review, EPA
proposed to approve MPCA's request to revise Minnesota's SO2
SIP for FHR, reflected in conditions labeled ``Title I Condition: 40
CFR 50.4(SO2 SIP); Title I Condition: 40 CFR 51; Title I
Condition: 40 CFR pt. 52, subp. Y'' in joint document 101.

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed action?

    Our April 26, 2018 proposed rule provided a 30-day review and
comment period. The comment period closed on May 29, 2018. EPA received
one comment that was not relevant to the proposed action.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving a revision to Minnesota's SO2 SIP for
FHR, as submitted by MPCA on February 8, 2017, and reflected in
conditions labeled ``Title I Condition: 40 CFR 50.4(SO2
SIP); Title I Condition: 40 CFR 51; Title I Condition: 40 CFR pt. 52,
subp. Y'' in joint document 101.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Minnesota
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 5
Office (please contact the person identified in the ``For Further
Information Contact'' section of this preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in
the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by
EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110
and 113 of the Clean Air Act as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Clean Air Act
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where 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 Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    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 17, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action 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).)

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2006-25756]

Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Standards; Volvo Trucks North
America, Inc.'s Exemption Application

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; granting of application for
exemption.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to grant Volvo Trucks North
America, Inc.'s (Volvo) application for an exemption for two Volvo
drivers to drive commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) in the United States
without possessing the requisite CDL issued by one of the States.
Magnus Ericsson and Conny Harlin are part of a team of Volvo engineers
and technicians test-driving Volvo prototype CMVs in U.S. environments.
Each of these drivers holds a valid Swedish CDL but lacks the U.S.
residency necessary to obtain a CDL issued by one of the States of the
U.S. FMCSA believes the rigorous training and testing that drivers must
undergo to obtain a Swedish CDL, and the excellent safety record of
both of these drivers, ensure that these drivers will likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of
safety that would be obtained in the absence of the exemption.

DATES: This exemption is effective April 16, 2010 and expires on April
16, 2012.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Schultz, Driver and Carrier
Operations Division, Office of Bus and Truck Standards and Operations,
MC-PSD, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590. Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>. E-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) (49 CFR
part 350 et seq.) for up to 2 years. The Agency must find that the
exemption will allow the applicant to implement more effective or
efficient operations and ``would likely achieve a level of safety that
is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved
absent such exemption'' (49 CFR 381.305(a)). Exemptions are renewable.
    The FMCSA has granted comparable exemptions for Volvo drivers in
the past. The most recent Agency notice of final disposition was
published on May 5, 2009, granting exemption for the same purpose to
seven Volvo drivers with Swedish CDLs (74 FR 20778).

Volvo Application for Exemption

    Volvo applied for exemption for drivers Magnus Ericsson and Conny
Harlin from 49 CFR 383.23 of the CDL rules, requiring drivers operating
CMVs to have a CDL issued by one of the States. A copy of the request
for exemption is in the docket identified at the beginning of this
notice. This exemption is necessary for these drivers to be qualified
to drive CMVs in the United States. The Volvo CMVs in question are
assembled, sold or primarily used in the United States, and must be
subjected to various field tests in this country before being placed on
the U.S. market. The tests are conducted by Volvo engineers and
technicians at Volvo's U.S. test site and on public roads in the
vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. The vehicle safety and performance data
drawn from the test-driving is a critical component of the overall
evaluation of a prototype.
    Section 383.21 requires drivers of CMVs in the United States to
have a CDL issued by a State. Ericsson and Harlin are citizens and
residents of Sweden. Only residents of a State can apply for a CDL,\1\
so Ericsson and Harlin cannot apply for a CDL in this country. Without
the exemption, Ericsson and Harlin would not be able to test-drive
Volvo prototype CMVs on U.S. roads.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Although 49 CFR 383.23 indicates that these drivers could
obtain a Nonresident CDL, few States--if any--are currently issuing
Nonresident CDLs.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Ericsson and Harlin hold Swedish CDLs and are experienced operators
of CMVs. In addition, Volvo submitted documentation showing that the
Swedish driving records of both Ericsson and Harlin are free of
violations.

Method To Ensure an Equivalent or Greater Level of Safety

    According to Volvo, drivers applying for a Swedish-issued CDL must
undergo a training program and must pass knowledge and skills tests.
Volvo believes that the rigor of this process ensures that this
exemption will likely provide a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level of safety obtained by complying with the
U.S. requirement for a CDL. FMCSA has previously determined that the
process for obtaining a CDL in Sweden adequately assesses the driver's
ability to operate CMVs in the U.S., and is comparable to, or as
effective as, the process for obtaining a CDL issued by a State.

Comments

    No comments were received in response to an FMCSA notice of this
application and request for comments, published on January 19, 2010 (75
FR 2921).

FMCSA Decision

    Based upon the merits of this application, including the extensive
driving experience and unblemished safety records of Magnus Ericsson
and Conny Harlin, and the rigorous training and testing each
successfully completed to obtain a Swedish CDL, FMCSA concluded that
the exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent
to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption, in accordance with 381.305(a). On April 16, 2010, FMCSA
granted an exemption from 49 CFR

383.23 to Volvo drivers Magnus Ericsson and Conny Harlin for the period
from April 16, 2010 through April 16, 2012.

Terms and Conditions for the Exemption

    FMCSA granted Volvo an exemption from the Federal CDL requirement
in 49 CFR 383.23 to allow Ericsson and Harlin to drive CMVs in the
U.S., subject to the following terms and conditions:
    (1) That the drivers are subject to drug and alcohol regulations,
including testing, as provided in 49 CFR part 382, (2) that the drivers
are subject to the same driver disqualification rules under 49 CFR
parts 383 and 391 that apply to other CMV drivers in the U.S., (3) that
the drivers keep a copy of the exemption on the vehicle at all times,
(4) that Volvo notify FMCSA in writing of any accident, as defined in
49 CFR 390.5, involving one or both of these drivers, and (5) that
Volvo notify FMCSA in writing if either driver is convicted of a
disqualifying offense under section 383.51 or section 391.15 of the
FMCSRs.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), the exemption will
be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by the FMCSA. The exemption
will be revoked if: (1) An exempted driver fails to comply with the
terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption results in a
lower level of safety than was maintained before it was granted; or (3)
continuation of the exemption would be inconsistent with the goals and
objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136.

    Title: Notice of Intent for Stormwater Discharges Associated with
Construction Activity Under a NPDES General Permit.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1842.05, OMB Control No. 2040-0188.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: EPA's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Permitting Program, as authorized by the Clean Water Act (CWA),
establishes regulations for the discharge of pollutants or combinations
of pollutants to waters of the United States, including discharges of
stormwater from construction activities disturbing five acres or more.
The primary permitting mechanism for construction site operators is the
Construction General Permit (CGP), issued by EPA or a state authorized
to administer the NPDES Program. To obtain coverage under the CGP, a
construction site operator must

submit a Notice of Intent (NOI) to the permitting authority and develop
a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). The information
collection and reporting activities covered in this ICR include only
those activities related to completing and submitting an NOI form,
developing a SWPPP, and conducting routine inspections. This ICR only
covers the burden on construction sites of five or more acres, as small
construction activities are addressed in the Stormwater Phase II ICR
(OMB Control Number 2040-0188, EPA ICR Number 1842.05).
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 51.3
hours per respondent in NPDES-authorized states and 53.5 hours per
respondent in states and territories where EPA is the permitting
authority. 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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are those which have storm water discharges associated with
large construction activity (40 CFR 122.25(b)(14)(x)) to waters of the
U.S.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 157,546.
    Frequency of Response: Once initially, prior to commencement of
construction.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8,247,638 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $375,329,979, includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The estimated increase in burden is
327,393 hours compared to the total estimated burden hours currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burden. The increase in
applicant respondent and NPDES-authorized state burden is primarily the
result of one change, that being the addition of routine site
inspection burden for existing large construction sites (previously not
addressed in any ICR). A portion of the burden is reduced based on
EPA's estimate of the number of entities affected by this information
collection.

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA withdraws a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) that
proposed a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain The Boeing
Company Model 767 airplanes equipped with General Electric Model CF6-
80C2 engines. The NPRM proposed to require modifying a relay
installation and associated wiring of the engine cowl anti-ice system
and performing a functional test of the thrust reverser system. The
NPRM also proposed to require replacing the operational program
software of certain indicating/recording systems. Since we issued the
NPRM, we have received new data that indicate the unsafe condition
would not be adequately addressed by the proposed action. The
manufacturer has issued new service information to address the unsafe
condition. Consequently, we issued new rulemaking action that
positively addresses the unsafe condition identified in the NPRM, and
eliminates the need for the actions proposed in the NPRM. Accordingly,
the NPRM is withdrawn.

DATES: As of October 23, 2013, the proposed rule, which was published
in the Federal Register on May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28489), is withdrawn.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains this AD action, the regulatory

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We proposed to amend part 39 of the Federal Aviation Regulations
(14 CFR part 39) with a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for a new
AD for certain Model 767 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28489). The NPRM proposed to
require modifying a relay installation and associated wiring of the
engine cowl anti-ice system and performing a functional test of the
thrust reverser system. The NPRM also proposed to require replacing the
operational program software of certain indicating/recording systems.
The NPRM was prompted by numerous operator reports of failures of the
lock flexshaft of the thrust reverser actuation system (TRAS) between
the upper actuator and the TRAS lock. We had proposed the AD to prevent
high power in-flight deployment of a thrust reverser, which could cause
high roll force and consequent departure from controlled flight.

Actions Since NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005) Was Issued

    Since we issued the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005), we have
received new data that indicate the unsafe condition would not be
adequately addressed by the proposed action. Consequently, we issued a
new NPRM (78 FR 3363, January 16, 2013) that positively addresses the
unsafe condition identified in the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005) and
eliminates the need for the actions proposed in that NPRM (70 FR 28489,
May 18, 2005).

FAA's Conclusions

    We have determined that the unsafe condition identified in the NPRM
(70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005) still exists. However, the unsafe condition
is addressed in the new NPRM (78 FR 3363, January 16, 2013).
Accordingly, the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005) is withdrawn.
    Withdrawal of the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18, 2005) does not
preclude the FAA from issuing the related actions or commit the FAA to
any course of action in the future.

Regulatory Impact

    Since this action only withdraws the NPRM (70 FR 28489, May 18,
2005), it is neither a proposed nor a final rule and therefore is not
covered under Executive Order 12866, the Regulatory Flexibility Act, or
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26,
1979).

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Withdrawal

    Accordingly, we withdraw the NPRM, Docket No. FAA-2005-21236,
Directorate Identifier 2005-NM-011-AD, which published in the Federal
Register on May 18, 2005 (70 FR 28489).

                          Bispyribac-sodium (078906)
                     Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)
                                Date: 04/25/18

What is a Screening Level Usage Analysis (SLUA)?
 Available estimates of pesticide usage data for a particular active ingredient that is used on agricultural crops in the United States.
 Pesticide usage data obtained from various sources.  The data are then merged, averaged, and rounded so that the presented information is not proprietary, business confidential, or trade secret.
What does it contain?
 Pesticide usage data for a single active ingredient only.
 Agricultural use sites (crops) that the pesticide is reported to be used on.
 Available pesticide usage information from states that produce 80% of crop acres planted in the United States, in most cases, or less than 80%, in rare cases, depending on the scope of the survey and available resources.
 Annual percent of crop treated (average & maximum) for each agricultural crop.
 Average annual pounds of the pesticide applied for each agricultural crop (i.e., for the states surveyed, not for the entire United States).
What assumptions can I make about the reported data?
 Average pounds of active ingredient applied - Values are calculated by merging pesticide usage data sources together; averaging across all observations, then rounding.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 500, then that value is labeled <500.  Estimated values between 500 & <1,000,000 are rounded to 1 significant digit.  Estimated values of 1,000,000 or greater are rounded to 2 significant digits.)
 Average percent of crop treated - Values are calculated by merging data sources together; averaging by year, averaging across all years, & rounding to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.  If the estimated value is less than 1, then the value is labeled <1.
 Maximum percent of crop treated - Value is the single maximum value reported across all data sources, across all years, & rounded up to the nearest multiple of 5.  Note:  If the estimated value is less than 2.5, then the value is labeled <2.5.
What are the data sources used?
 United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS)  -  pesticide usage data from 2006 to 2015.  NASS data are based on surveys that focus on the top-producing states that together account for the majority of U.S. acres or production of the surveyed commodity.  NASS aims to cover at a minimum 80 percent of the targeted fruit, vegetable, and field crop acres planted in the United States. Farm level data are combined during summary and, pending compliance with disclosure rules, published at the state and national levels.  NASS collects agricultural usage data for various crops on a rotating schedule.
 Market Research data (MRD)  -  pesticide usage data from 2006 to 2015.  This is data from surveys which cover pesticide usage on agricultural crops.  The survey data accounts for at least 80 percent of US acres/production of the surveyed commodities.  Surveys are conducted annually.
 California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) Pesticide Use Reporting (PUR) data for 2006 to 2015. The PUR database contains detailed records and summaries of agricultural applications of pesticides on crops that are obtained from a census and published annually.
What are the limitations to the data?
 Additional registered uses may exist but are not included because the available surveys do not report usage (e.g., small acreage crops).
 Lack of reported usage data for the pesticide on a crop does not imply zero usage.
 Usage data on a particular site may be noted in data sources, but not quantified.  In these instances, the site would not be reported in the SLUA.
 Non-agricultural use sites (e.g., turf, post-harvest, mosquito control, etc.) are not reported in the SLUA.  A separate request must be made to receive these estimates.
 Some sites show some use, even though they are not on the label.  This usage could be due to various factors, including, but not limited to Section 18 requests, existing stocks of the chemical, data collection errors, and experimental use permits (EUPs).
