SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    This rule amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to
make various technical corrections and clarifications to the EAR as a
result of a systematic review of the Commerce Control List (CCL) that
was conducted by the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) beginning in
2007. This rule is the first phase of the regulatory implementation of
the results of that review. This rule focuses on making needed
technical corrections and clarifications to the CCL. The BIS CCL review
benefited from input received from BIS's Technical Advisory Committees
(TACs) and public comments received in response to a BIS notice of
inquiry (July 17, 2007, 72 FR 39052).
    BIS intends to publish another rule later this year that will
implement the

second phase of the regulatory implementation of the results of that
systematic review of the CCL. That rule is tentatively titled,
``Revisions to the Export Administration Regulations based upon a
Systematic Review of the Commerce Control List'' (RIN: 0694-AE33). That
second rule will include substantive changes to the CCL.
    As a part of the implementation phase of the CCL review, the agency
is also taking other non-regulatory actions to improve the public's
understanding of the CCL. These BIS actions involve publishing certain
advisory opinions and creating new web guidance to provide greater
clarity to exporters and reexporters regarding existing provisions of
the CCL. BIS has also created a new process whereby BIS has stated its
intention to conduct similar types of systematic reviews of the CCL in
the future in order to continuously improve the CCL.
    This rule makes the following technical revision to the Export
Administration Regulations (EAR):
    In Supplement No. 1 to Part 748 (BIS-748P, BIS-748P-A; Item
Appendix, and BIS-748P-B; End-User Appendix; Multipurpose Application
Instructions), this rule amends the instructions for ``Block 6:
Documents submitted with application'', to provide guidance to
applicants who wish to include foreign availability support material
for items not controlled for national security reasons. This new
instruction guidance under Block 6 explains the procedure applicants
should follow for submitting this information. The purpose of
submitting this foreign availability information would be to make the
U.S. Government more aware of the foreign availability of items not
controlled for national security reasons.
    In addition, this rule makes the following technical revisions to
the Commerce Control List (CCL) (Supplement No. 1 to Part 774 of the
EAR):

    (1) This rule revises the ``Related Controls'' paragraphs in the
following twenty-four CCL entries: 0A018, 1A001, 1A003, 1A005,
1C004, 1C006, 1C008, 1C009, 1C011, 1C012, 1D001, 1D018, 1E002,
2A983, 2B004, 2B005, 2E101, 2E201, 3A002, 3B002, 3B992, 3D002,
4D003, and 5E002 by adding additional related controls references or
making changes for greater specificity for the related controls
references. BIS includes related controls references in CCL entries
to assist exporters in classifying items on the CCL and in some
cases provides cross-references for items that are listed on the
CCL, but are under the export control jurisdiction of other U.S.
Government agencies. Several of the public comments received by BIS,
as a part of the CCL review process, requested that BIS add these
types of additional related controls references to better assist the
public in classifying their items using the CCL.
    (2) This rule is also amending the ``Unit'' paragraph in the
following fourteen CCL entries: 1B003, 2B001, 2B003, 2B004, 4A001,
4A003, 4A004, 5B001, 6A002, 6A004, 6A005, 8A001, 9A004, and 9B009.
Several of the comments received by BIS, as a part of the CCL review
process, requested that changes be made to the ``Unit'' paragraphs
of certain CCL entries, so that the unit of measurement in the
``Unit'' paragraphs would conform to standard quantities for the
items controlled in those respective CCL entries. BIS agreed that
these technical corrections should be made to the CCL in order to
ensure that the ``Unit'' paragraphs conformed with the items
controlled in those CCL entries.
    (3) In three CCL entries, 6D003, 8D001 and 8E001, this rule
removes outdated references in the ``License Exceptions'' section of
each of these CCL entries that had incorrectly referred to License
Exception TSR non-availability for items under those CCL entries
controlled for Missile Technology (MT) reasons. None of these three
CCL entries is controlled for MT reasons, so the reference to the
restriction on the use of License Exception TSR in these CCL entries
is outdated and confusing. This rule corrects that by removing the
outdated reference to the MT restriction in each of these CCL
entries.

    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 15,
2007, 72 FR 46137 (August 16, 2007), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This final rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of E.O. 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor shall any person be subject to a penalty
for failure to comply with a collection of information, subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act, unless that collection of
information displays a currently valid Office of Management and Budget
Control Number. This rule contains a collection of information subject
to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This
collection has been approved by the Office of Management and Budget
under control number 0694-0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which
carries a burden hour estimate of 58 minutes for a manual or electronic
submission.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    4. The Department finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B) to waive the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act
requiring prior notice and the opportunity for public comment because
they are unnecessary. The changes made by this rule are not substantive
changes, but rather are updates to cross-references, conformance of
units of measure to item descriptions, and removal of outdated
references. This rule does not alter any right, obligation or
prohibition that applies to any person under the Export Administration
Regulations (EAR). Because these revisions are not substantive changes,
it is unnecessary to provide notice and opportunity for public comment.
In addition, the 30-day delay in effectiveness required by 5 U.S.C.
553(d) is not applicable because this rule is not a substantive rule.
Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for public
comment are not required to be given for this rule under the
Administrative Procedure Act or by any other law, the analytical
requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.)
are not applicable.

documentation you are required to submit with your application in
accordance with the provisions of part 748 of the EAR, and mark all
applicable Boxes with an (X).

    Mark the Box ``Foreign Availability'' with an (X) if you are
submitting an assertion of foreign availability with your license
application. See part 768 of the EAR for instructions on foreign
availability submissions.
    If you are not making a foreign availability assertion under
part 768 of the EAR, you may still mark the box ``Foreign
Availability'' with an (X), if you are submitting an assertion of
foreign availability with your license application. Foreign
availability assertions covered under part 768 are limited to items
controlled for national security reasons. However, if an applicant
intends to include foreign availability support material for items
not controlled for national security reasons, applicants are
permitted to do this as part of the license application by marking
the box ``Foreign Availability'' with an (X) and including the
foreign availability information, along with the support material
for the license application. Applicants must clearly label this
support material as ``Foreign availability information--outside the
scope of part 768''. Although this information is outside the scope
of part 768, applicants should still use Supplement No. 1 to part
768 for general guidance regarding what types of information may be
suitable for demonstrating foreign availability. The purpose of
submitting this type of foreign availability information will be to
make the U.S. Government more aware of the foreign availability of
items not controlled for national security reasons.
    Mark the ``Tech. Specs.'' box with an (X) if you are submitting
descriptive literature, brochures, technical specifications, etc.
with your application.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0538; Airspace Docket No. 12-ANM-8]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Lewistown, MT

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace at Lewistown Municipal
Airport, Lewistown, MT. Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate
aircraft using Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
standard instrument approach procedures at Lewistown Municipal Airport.
This improves the safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, November 15, 2012. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On June 27, 2012, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to modify controlled airspace at
Lewistown, MT (77 FR 38226). Interested parties were invited to
participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on
the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.9V dated August 9, 2011, and
effective September 15, 2011, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR part 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this
document will be published subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying Class E surface airspace, and Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, at Lewistown
Municipal Airport, Lewistown, MT, to accommodate IFR aircraft executing
RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at the airport. This
action is necessary for the safety and management of IFR operations.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
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 this rule, when promulgated, will 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 discusses 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 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
controlled airspace at Lewistown Municipal Airport, Lewistown, MT.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed consent decree; request for public comment.

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the
Act), notice is given of a proposed consent decree in Center for
Biological Diversity, et al. v. Regan, No. 3:22-cv-01855-WHO (N.D.
Cal.). On March 24, 2022, Plaintiffs Center for Biological Diversity,
Center for Environmental Health, Environmental Integrity Project, and
WildEarth Guardians filed a complaint in the United States District
Court for the Northern District of California. Plaintiffs alleged that
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) failed to
perform certain non-discretionary duties in accordance with the Act to
timely determine the attainment status of certain areas with respect to
the 2008 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (2008 Ozone
NAAQS). The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA
to sign notices of final action.

by August 26, 2022.

OGC-2022-0627, online at https://www.regulations.gov (EPA's preferred

II. Additional Information About the Proposed Consent Decree

    The proposed consent decree would establish deadlines for EPA to
take action pursuant to CAA sections 107(d), 179(c)(1), 181(b)(2)(A),
179(c)(2), and 181(b)(2)(B) to sign notices of final action determining
whether certain areas attained the 2008 NAAQS by the attainment date,
in this case, July 20, 2021. First, on April 13, 2022, EPA published a
proposed rulemaking that proposes to determine that Chicago-Naperville,
Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin; Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas; Houston-
Galveston-Brazoria, Texas; New York-North New Jersey-Long Island, New

York-New Jersey-Connecticut; and Denver-Boulder-Greeley-Ft. Collins-
Loveland, Colorado failed to attain the 2008 Ozone NAAQS by July 20,
2021 and that Greater Connecticut, Connecticut attained the 2008 Ozone
NAAQS by July 20, 2021; all of these areas had been classified as
Serious nonattainment for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS (87 FR 21825). The
proposed consent decree would require EPA to sign a final rule on these
areas \1\ by September 15, 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ With the exception of Chicago-Naperville, Illinois-Indiana-
Wisconsin, which EPA determined attained the 2008 Ozone NAAQS in
three separate final rules (87 FR 21027, April 11, 2022; 87 FR 30821
and 30828, May 20, 2022), rendering this claim moot.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, on July 14, 2022, EPA published a proposed rulemaking that
proposes to determine that the Nevada County (Western part) and Ventura
County areas in California, both classified as Serious for the 2008
Ozone NAAQS, attained the 2008 Ozone NAAQS by the July 20, 2021
attainment date. (87 FR 42126). The proposed consent decree would
require EPA to sign a final rule on these two California areas by
December 16, 2022.
    In accordance with section 113(g) of the CAA, for a period of
thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this document,
the Agency will accept written comments relating to the proposed
consent decree. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or
withhold consent to the proposed consent decree if the comments
disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is
inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Act.

III. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Consent
Decree

    Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2022-
0627, via https://www.regulations.gov. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from this docket. EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not submit to EPA's docket at https://www.regulations.gov any information you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must
be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered
the official comment and should include discussion of all points you
wish to make. EPA will generally not consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary submission (i.e., on the web,
cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission
methods, the full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or
multimedia submissions, and general guidance on making effective
comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets. For additional information about submitting information
identified as CBI, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document. Note that written
comments containing CBI and submitted by mail may be delayed and
deliveries or couriers will be received by scheduled appointment only.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an email address or other
contact information in the body of your comment. This ensures that you
can be identified as the submitter of the comment and allows EPA to
contact you in case EPA cannot read your comment due to technical
difficulties or needs further information on the substance of your
comment. Any identifying or contact information provided in the body of
a comment will be included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment.
    Use of the https://www.regulations.gov website to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, email address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
    Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
