NESHAP for Source Categories: Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

      1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Source Categories: Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1983.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0489.

      1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

      The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards, involving production for: Carbon Black (CB), Cyanide (CY), Ethylene (ET), and Spandex (SP) (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY) were promulgated on July 12, 2002 (67 FR 46258) and amended on April 13, 2005 (70 FR 19266).  These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that would be subject to the major source provisions specified under the Generic MACT (GMACT) NESHAP.   This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart YY.

      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.

      Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records.  All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority.   In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

      Over the next three years, an average of 72 respondents per year will be subject to the standard, and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard.  This consists of: 18 existing facilities for the CB production source category, 14 facilities for the CY production source category, 37 facilities for the ET production source category and 3 facilities in the SP production source category.

      The active ICR had the following Terms of Clearance (TOC):

      When this ICR is renewed, EPA should review the respondent
 		burden, universe, response number, labor rates, and capital
      costs and ensure these estimates have been updated.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA has addressed each item in the TOC by consulting with industry representatives.  See section 3(c) of this ICR for more details.  EPA has also updated the labor rates using the most recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      All 72 carbon black, ethylene, cyanide, and spandex facilities in the United States are owned and operated by the carbon black, ethylene, cyanide, and spandex industry (the "Affected Public").  All of these facilities are privately-owned, for-profit businesses; none of them are owned by either state, local, tribal or the Federal government.  The burden to the "Affected Public" may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).      The burden to the "Federal Government" is attributed entirely to work performed by federal employees or government contractors; this burden may be found below in Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  Need for and Use of the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants.  These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; (C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonably require.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from CB production, CY chemicals manufacturing, ET production, and SP production source categories cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.  Therefore,  the NESHAP was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart YY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensures compliance      with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility's initial capability to comply with the emission standard(s). Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard(s) at all times.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations.  The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated and/or leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard is being  met.  The performance test may also be observed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart YY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(a)  Non-duplication
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office.  Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated state or local agency.  If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards.  Therefore, no duplication exists.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(b)  Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register (76 FR 26900) on May 9, 2011.  No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      3(c)  Consultations
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

      The Agency's industry experts have been consulted, and the Agency's internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered.

      Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed.  In developing this ICR, we contacted the Continental Carbon Company at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the Syngenta Corporation at<PHONE_NUMBER>.  In this case, one comment was received indicating the estimate of the affected number of sources subject to the standard and information on the expected growth rate of the industry had not changed.

      It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received.

      3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

      Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards.  Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met.  If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

      3(e)  General Guidelines

      These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

      These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years.  This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards.  EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program is based.  The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five years.  In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records.

      3(f)  Confidentiality

      Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

      3(g)  Sensitive Questions

      The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.

Electronic Reporting

      Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data.  Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site.

      Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However, electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

                          (ii)  Respondent Activities
Read instructions.
Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CPMS for the appropriate control device
Perform initial performance test and repeat performance tests if necessary.
Write the notifications and reports listed above.
Enter information required to be recorded above.
Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information.
Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 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.
Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

5.  The Information Collected:  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

      5(a)  Agency Activities

      EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

                               Agency Activities
Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.
Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.
Audit facility records.
Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS).

      5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

      Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated.  Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard.  Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.  The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

      Information contained in the reports is entered into the OTIS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

 	The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five years.

      5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      The majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses).  However,          the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation.  Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities.  The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities.  To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden,   the overall burden will be reduced.

      5(d)  Collection Schedule

      The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).

6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

      Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the GMACT included in this ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified.  Responses to this information collection are mandatory.

      The 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.

      6(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden

      The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 13,524 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1).  These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

      6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

            (i)  Estimating Labor Costs

      This ICR uses the following labor rates:

            Managerial	$121.42 ($57.82 + 110%)
            Technical	$99.14 ($47.21 + 110%)
            Clerical	$49.81 ($23.72 + 110%)

      These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011, "Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group."  The rates are from column 1, "Total compensation."  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

            (ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

      The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the subject standard(s) are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring.  The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation.  The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

            (iii)  Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

         Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

                                   $359,031

      The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are zero.  This is the total of column D in the above table.

      The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs consists of photocopying, and postage are $359,031.  This is the total of column G.

      The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $359,031.

      6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

      The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information.  EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information.

      The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $183,686.

      This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

		Managerial	$62.27 (GS-13, Step 5, $38.92 + 60%)
		Technical	$46.21 (GS-12, Step 1, $28.88 + 60%)
		Clerical	$25.01 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.63 + 60%)

      These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2011 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees.  Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY) (Renewal).

      6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

      Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately 72 existing respondents will be subject to the standard.  It is estimated that no additional respondents per year will become subject.  The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 72 per year.

[1] New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and modified affected facilities.
      Column D is subtracted to avoid double-counting respondents.  As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is 72.

      The total annual labor costs are $1,295,805.  Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).

      The number of Total Annual Responses is 151.  The annual response per year is calculated using Table 1 below.

      6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

      The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below.

            (i) Respondent Tally

      The total annual labor hours are 13,524.  Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).

      Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90 hours per response.

      The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $359,031.

            (ii) The Agency Tally

      The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 4,076 labor hours at a cost of $183,686.  See below Table 2: Annual Agency Burden and Cost - NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) (Renewal).

      6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

      The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to adjustments.  The adjustment increase in burden costs for both the respondents and the Agency is due to an update in labor rates.  Despite the increase in burden costs, there is a decrease in the respondent labor hours (9 hours) in this ICR compared to the previous ICR due to a mathematical error in determining the person hours per respondent.

      6(g)  Burden Statement

      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90 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 valid OMB Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 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 Number EPA - HQ - OECA - 2011 - 0235.

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1938.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0505.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2009.
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, and 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills were
proposed on November 7, 2000, and promulgated on January 16, 2003.
These standards apply to each existing and new municipal solid waste
(MSW) landfills. This subpart applies to: An MSW landfill that has
accepted waste since November 8, 1987, or has additional capacity for
waste deposition; a major source, collocated with a major source; and
an area source landfill with a design capacity equal to or greater than
2.5 million megagrams (Mg) and 2.5 million cubic meters (m\3\) and has
estimated uncontrolled emissions equal to or greater than 50 megagrams
per year (Mg/yr) of nonmethane organic compounds (NMOC); or an MSW
landfill that has additional capacity for waste deposition, that
includes a bioreactor and is not permanently closed as of January 16,
2003.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities would be required to
submit semiannual compliance reports for control device operating
parameters, prepare a startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan,
and prepare semiannual SSM reports.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average five
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and provide information either 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. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently
changed; 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: Owners and operators of each
municipal solid waste landfill.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,121.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, annually and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,234.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,489,039, which includes $1,472,039
in labor costs, $17,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs, and
no capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. It should be noted that there is a change in the labor cost
compared to the previous ICR. The change is due to a minor calculation
error. This ICR reflects the correction and updates the labor cost
figure.
    The capital/startup costs are not included because this NESHAP does
not require MSW landfills to purchase or operate additional control
equipment or monitoring devices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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
modifies the air traffic service route structure in the northwest
United States to maintain the efficient flow of air traffic.

History

    In 1990, the FAA published in the Federal Register a rule that
established J-576 in 14 CFR 75, from the Glasgow, MT, VOR navigation
aid (NAVAID) to the Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada, VOR NAVAID (55 FR
42364, October 19, 1990, FR Doc. 90-24786). This was corrected to J-477
(55 FR 46940, November 8, 1990, FR Doc. 90-26388) and finally, in 1991,
part 75 was transferred to subpart M of 14 CFR 71 (56 FR 65638,
December 17, 1991, FR Doc. 91-29869). The route, extending through a
small portion of airspace over the northwestern United States, was
established in response to a request from the Canadian Department of
Transportation to support airway changes in the Canadian airspace
structure.
    On September 30, 2015, the FAA was notified that Canada was
decommissioning the Medicine Hat VOR and removing the portion of J-477
within Canada. Since the basis for which J-477 was originally
established no longer exists, the FAA is removing the route.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004 of FAA Order 7400.9Z
dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15, 2015, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route listed in this
document will be subsequently removed in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2015, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) part 71 by removing jet route J-477. This action reflects and
accommodates the route changes made in Canadian airspace due to the
decommissioning of the Medicine Hat VOR. Therefore, notice and public
procedures under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    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
Department of Transportation (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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures,
paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any
potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary
circumstances exists that warrant preparation of an environmental
assessment.

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30592; Amdt. No. 3255]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule amends Standard Instrument Approach Procedures
(SIAPs) for operations at certain airports. These regulatory actions
are needed because of changes in the National Airspace System, such as
the commissioning of new navigational facilities, adding of 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 February 6, 2008. The compliance date for
each SIAP 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 February 6, 2008.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matter 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;

Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082 Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97) by amending the referenced SIAPs.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP is listed on the
appropriate FAA Form 8260, as modified by the National Flight Data
Center (FDC)/Permanent Notice to Airmen (P-NOTAM), and is incorporated
by reference in the amendment under 5 U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and
Sec.  97.20 of Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
    The large number of SIAPs, their complex nature, and the need for a
special format make their verbatim publication in the Federal Register
expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use the regulatory
text of the SIAPs, but refer to their graphic depiction on charts
printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP contained in FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAP and the corresponding effective dates. 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 as amended in the transmittal. For safety and
timeliness of change considerations, this amendment incorporates only
specific changes contained for each SIAP as modified by FDC/P-NOTAMs.
    The SIAPs, as modified by FDC P-NOTAM, and contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these changes to
SIAPs, the TERPS criteria were applied only to specific conditions
existing at the affected airports. All SIAP amendments in this rule
have been previously issued by the FAA in a FDC NOTAM as an emergency
action of immediate flight safety relating directly to published
aeronautical charts. The circumstances which created the need for all
these SIAP amendments requires making them effective in less than 30
days.
    Because of the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs
and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and public procedure
before adopting these SIAPs are impracticable and contrary to the
public interest and, where applicable, that good cause exists for
making these 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.
