14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2015-0932; Directorate Identifier 2014-NM-205-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 747-8 series airplanes. This proposed
AD was prompted by a report of improperly installed outboard stowage
bin modules in the passenger compartment found during maintenance.
Further investigation revealed that certain attachment bracket bushings
were missing or had moved out of the holes. This proposed AD would
require installing a spacer on the end of each quick-release pin that
attaches the outboard stowage bin module to the lateral support tie
rods of the main deck passenger compartment. We are proposing this AD
to prevent detachment of the quick-release pin, which could result in
separation of the lateral support tie rod and subsequent detachment of
the module and consequent injuries to passengers or flightcrew.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 15, 2015.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    We have received a report of improperly installed outboard stowage
bin modules in the passenger compartment found during maintenance.
Further investigation revealed that certain attachment bracket bushings
of the outboard stowage bin module were missing or had moved out of the
holes, and pins were installed incorrectly. These bushings were
designed to prevent disengagement of the quick release pins; however,
migration of the bushings deters this. It was determined that the
interference fit of the bushings in the attachment brackets was
incorrect. Subsequently, installation of the quick release pins during
production has caused bushings to migrate or detach. This condition, if
not corrected, could result in separation of the lateral support tie
rod, detachment of the outboard stowage bin module, and consequent
injuries to passengers or flightcrew.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 747-25-3649,
dated July 24, 2014. The service information describes procedures for
installing a spacer on the end of each quick-release pin that attaches
the outboard stowage bin module to the lateral support tie rods of the
main deck passenger compartment. Refer to this service information for
information on the procedures and compliance times. This service
information is reasonably available; see ADDRESSES for ways to access
this service information.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information identified previously.

Explanation of ``RC'' Steps in Service Information

    The FAA worked in conjunction with industry, under the
Airworthiness Directives Implementation Aviation Rulemaking Committee,
to enhance the AD system. One enhancement was a

new process for annotating which steps in the service information are
required for compliance with an AD. Differentiating these steps from
other tasks in the service information is expected to improve an
owner's/operator's understanding of crucial AD requirements and help
provide consistent judgment in AD compliance. The actions specified in
the service information described previously include steps that are
labeled as RC (required for compliance) because these steps have a
direct effect on detecting, preventing, resolving, or eliminating an
identified unsafe condition.
    Steps that are identified as RC in any service information must be
done to comply with the proposed AD. However, steps that are not
identified as RC are recommended. Those steps that are not identified
as RC may be deviated from using accepted methods in accordance with
the operator's maintenance or inspection program without obtaining
approval of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC), provided the
steps identified as RC can be done and the airplane can be put back in
a serviceable condition. Any substitutions or changes to steps
identified as RC will require approval of an AMOC.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 2 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs

                              to $1,020.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal)

EPA ICR Number 1054.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0022

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Petroleum Refineries,
published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart J were proposed on June 11, 1973,
promulgated on March 8, 1974, and amended October 2, 1990.  These
regulations apply to the following affected facilities in petroleum
refineries: fluid catalytic cracking unit catalyst regenerators; fuel
gas combustion devices; and Claus sulfur recovery plants of more than 20
long tons per day commencing construction, modification, or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.  This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart J.

In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities.  They are also required to maintain record 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 NSPS.  Reporting frequency was changed
from quarterly to semiannual on February12, 1999 (64 FR 7465).  Also, it
is estimated that 5 percent of respondents to this Information
Collection Request (ICR) will undergo construction or reconstruction.
These changes are being reflected for the Agency for the first time for
this ICR.

Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain
a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two 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.

Approximately 150 respondents are currently subject to the regulation,
and it is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject
to the regulation in the next three years.  This information was
confirmed with the rule lead addressing this source category of the
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS).

In the United States, there are approximately 150 petroleum refineries
that are publicly owned and operated by the petroleum refinery industry.
 None of these facilities are owned by either state, local, tribal or
the Federal government.  They are all owned and operated solely by
privately owned for-profit businesses.  The burden to the “Affected
Public” is listed in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost – NSPS
for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).  The
Federal government burden does not include work performed by Federal
employees only work performed by contractors, and which could be found
listed below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden – NSPS for
Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).

In the development of the ICR, we addressed the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) “Terms of Clearance (TOC)” on the active ICR.  The TOC
are as follows:

This collection of information is approved for 3 years.  Before
resubmission of this ICR, the Agency should update wage estimates,
continuing to refer to most recently available data from Bureau of Labor
Statistics.  In addition, the agency should verify the number of
respondent entities.

EPA has addressed each item of concern in the TOC.  The updated labor
rates and the number of respondents have been thoroughly checked, and
all estimates have been updated.

2.  Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as
amended, to establish standards of performance for new stationary
sources that reflect:

. . . application of the best technological system of continuous
emissions reduction which (taking into consideration the cost of
achieving such emissions reduction, or any non-air quality health and
environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator
determines has been adequately demonstrated.  Section 111(a)(l).

The Agency refers to this charge as selecting the best demonstrated
technology (BDT).  Section 111 also requires that the Administrator
review and, if appropriate, revise such standards every four years.

In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require
any owner or 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, particulate matter, carbon monoxide,
and sulfur oxides cause or contribute to air pollution that may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
Therefore, the NSPS was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR
part 60, subpart J.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure
compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.  In addition, the collected
information is 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.
Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the
standard at all times.  During the performance tests, a record of the
operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded
and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission
monitor.

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 ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and
operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the
standards are being met.  The performance test may also be observed.

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

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

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part
60, subpart J.

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 their 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.  The primary source of information as
reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting
provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System
(OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.
 OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval
of all compliance data.  The growth rate for the industry is based on
our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts.

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 consulted with the
EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Refining and Chemicals
Group.  We also consulted the American Petroleum Industry at (202)
682-8209, and the National Association of Manufacturers at (202)
682-8114.

After a thorough review, it is our policy to respond to comments
received since the last ICR renewal as well as to those submitted in
response to the first Federal Register notice.

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 that 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 the 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 the 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 the 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.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
owners and operators of petroleum refineries.  The United States
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for the respondents
affected by the standards is 2911, which corresponds to the North
American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 324110 for petroleum
refineries.

4(b)  Information Requested

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the
regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

maintenance performed on these systems or devices.	60.7(f)

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 not widely used.  At this time, it is
estimated that approximately 70 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate continuous monitoring systems
(CMS) for opacity, CO, SO2, and oxygen dioxide (O2).

Perform performance test, using the procedures listed in 40 CFR 60.106,
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.

Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information.

Transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

	Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides
parameter data in an automated way (e.g., continuous parameter
monitoring system).  Although personnel at the source still need to
evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly
reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.

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,
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 operational.  Performance test reports are used
by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with
the emission standard, and to note the operating conditions under which
compliance was achieved.  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 OTIS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  OTIS is the
EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of
compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and
government-owned facilities.  EPA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution
compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA
regional offices, and EPA headquarters.  EPA delegated Authorities can
edit, store, retrieve, and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or
operator for two 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 Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NSPS for
Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (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 subpart 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 15,784
(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 NSPS 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	$119.36 ($56.84 + 110%)

Technical	$99.18 ($47.23 + 110%)

Clerical	$49.35 ($23.50 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, March 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 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 and
other costs, such as photocopying and postage.

1 Each respondent is assumed to have at least one monitor for each
parameter requiring monitoring under the standards.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $0.  This is the total
of column D in the above table.

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are
$719,100.  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 $719,100.

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 $22,076.

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 in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NSPS for Petroleum
Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (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 150 existing respondents will be subject to the
standard.  It is estimated that no additional respondents per year will
become subject to the standard.  The overall average number of
respondents, as shown in the table below, is 150 per year.

	The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents

Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents 1	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit

Average	0	150	0	0	150

1 New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed, and
modified affected facilities.

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted.  As shown
above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of
this ICR is 150.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the
following table:

Semiannual report	150	2	0	300

The number of Total Annual Responses is 300.

The total annual labor costs are $1,510,886.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost –
NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours 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 15,784.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:
NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).

Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 53 hours per
response.

The total annual capital/startup and operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs to the regulated entity are $719,100.

(ii)  The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over the next three years is
estimated to be 497 labor hours at a cost of $22,076.  See Table 2:
Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NSPS for Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR
Part 60, Subpart J) (Renewal).

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is
due to a more accurate estimate of existing sources.  After consulting
with the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) and trade
associations, the data indicates that there are approximately 150
sources subject to the rule, as compared with the active ICR that shows
132 sources.  There are no new facilities expected to be constructed
over the next three years of this ICR.  There is also an increase in the
estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
approved Burdens.  The increase is not due to any program changes.  The
change in burden cost is due to the use of the most updated labor rates.

Because there are no new sources with reporting requirements, no
capital/startup costs are incurred.  The only cost that is incurred is
for the O&M of the monitoring equipment.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 53 hours per response.  Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, 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’s 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,

related pipeline segments, and metering facilities, with appurtenances,
to be located in Adams, Morgan, and Weld Counties, Colorado. As part of
the project, CIG is seeking authorization to implement new services and
rates, and gas quality control rates and fuel charges. When completed,
the pipeline facilities will transport and deliver up to 899,000 Dth
per day of natural gas, all as more fully set forth in the application
which is on file with the Commission and open for public inspection.
This filing is available for review at the Commission in the Public
Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov
 using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number

excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to access
the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,

contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this Application should be directed to
Richard Derryberry, Director, Regulatory Affairs, Colorado Interstate
Gas Company, P. O. Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80944 at (719)
520-3788 or by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER> or Craig V. Richardson, Vice
President and General Counsel, Colorado Interstate Gas Company, P. O.
Box 1087, Colorado Springs, Colorado, 80944 at<PHONE_NUMBER> or by fax
at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    On October 6, 2006, the Commission staff granted CIG's request to
utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-Filing Process
and assigned Docket No. PF06-36-000 to staff activities involving the
CIG's expansion project. Now, as of the filing of CIG's application on
April 27, 2007, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process for this project has ended.
From this time forward, CIG's proceeding will be conducted in Docket
No. CP07-207-000, as noted in the caption of this Notice.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC. 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed

documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the Internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.

[EPA-R04-RCRA-2021-0229; FRL-10021-98-Region 4]

Georgia: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
authorize changes to Georgia's hazardous waste program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). These changes were
outlined in an application to the EPA and correspond to certain Federal
rules promulgated between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2020. The EPA
reviewed Georgia's application and has determined that these changes
satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization.
Therefore, in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register, we are authorizing Georgia for these changes as a direct
final rule without a prior proposed rule. If we receive no adverse
comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 27, 2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
RCRA-2021-0229, at https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from www.regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically 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. The 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document proposes to take action on
Georgia's changes to its hazardous waste management program under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended. We have
published a direct final rule authorizing these changes in the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register because we view this
as a noncontroversial action and anticipate no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this action in the preamble to the direct
final rule.
    If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action
on this proposed rule. If we receive adverse comment, we will withdraw
the direct final rule and it will not take effect. We would then
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule and base any
further decision on the authorization of the State program changes
after considering all comments received during the comment period.
    We do not intend to institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
For further information, please see the information provided in the
ADDRESSES section of this document.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP16-17-000; PF-15-23-000]

Millennium Pipeline Company, L.L.C.; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on November 13, 2015, Millennium Pipeline Company,
L.L.C. (Millennium) One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York 10965,
filed in Docket No. CP16-17-000, an application pursuant to section
7(c) of the Natural Gas Act and Part 157 of the Commission's
regulations, for a certificate of public convenience and necessity to
construct and operate its Valley Lateral Project to provide
approximately 130,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of firm transportation
service to CPV Valley, LLC to serve a new natural gas combined-cycle
electric generator in the Town of Wawayanda, New York (CPV Valley
Energy Center). Specifically, Millennium seeks to construct an
approximately 7.8-mile, 16-inch diameter lateral pipeline from
Millennium's existing mainline in Orange County, New York to the CPV
Valley Energy Center, all as more fully set forth in the application,
which is on file with the Commission and open to public inspection. The
filing may also be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using the
``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-
free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to Gary
A. Kruse, One Blue Hill Plaza, Pearl River, New York 10965, phone:
(845) 620-1300, or email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    On April 30, 2015, the Commission staff granted Millennium's
request to utilize the Pre-Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF15-
23-000 to staff activities involved in the Valley Lateral Project. Now,
as of the November 13, 2015 application, the Pre-Filing Process for
this project has ended. From this time forward, this proceeding will be
conducted in Docket No. CP16-17-000, as noted in the caption of this
Notice.
    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice, the Commission staff will issue a Notice
of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) for this proposal. The
issuance of a Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 7 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to

the party or parties directly involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 5 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    There is an ``eSubscription'' link on the Web site that enables
subscribers to receive email notification when a document is added to a
subscribed docket(s). For assistance with any FERC Online service,
please email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call<PHONE_NUMBER> (toll
free). For TTY, call<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry
entitled ``Good ANDA Submission Practices.'' This guidance is intended
to assist applicants preparing to submit ANDAs to FDA. It highlights
common, recurring deficiencies that may lead to a delay in the approval
of an ANDA. This guidance also makes recommendations to applicants on
how to avoid these deficiencies so that applicants can submit ANDAs
that may be approved in the first review cycle. This guidance has been
developed as part of FDA's ``Drug Competition Action Plan'' (https://www.fda.gov/drugs/guidance-compliance-regulatory-information/fda-drug-competition-action-plan), which, in coordination with the Generic Drug
User Fee Amendments (GDUFA I and II) (Pub. L. 112-144 and Pub. L. 115-
52, respectively) and other FDA activities, is expected to increase
competition in the market for drugs, facilitate entry of high-quality
and affordable generic drugs, and improve public health.
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance of the same title issued
on January 4, 2018 (83 FR 532). FDA considered comments received on the
draft guidance as the guidance was finalized and made minor edits and
other editorial changes to improve clarity. Revisions include
clarification of the recommendations pertaining to patent and
exclusivity deficiencies, as well as those pertaining to product
quality deficiencies relating to the drug substance. We have also
clarified the recommendations relating to ANDAs that propose to use
bioequivalence methods that differ from recommendations in a relevant
product-specific guidance.
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the
current thinking of FDA on ``Good ANDA Submission Practices.'' It does
not establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or
the public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does
refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. Therefore,
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) is not
required for this guidance. The previously approved collections of
information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections
of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0001.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the internet may obtain the guidance at
either https://www.fda.gov/drugs/guidance-compliance-regulatory-information/guidances-drugs, https://www.fda.gov/regulatory-information/search-fda-guidance-documents, or https://www.regulations.gov.
