RIN 2120-AA66

Establishment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Routes T-301 and T-305;
Northcentral United States

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes area navigation (RNAV) routes T-301
and T-305 in the northcentral United States. The new RNAV routes expand
the availability of RNAV routing in support of transitioning the
National Airspace System (NAS) from ground-based to satellite-based
navigation. Additionally, a portion of the new RNAV routes provide
enroute structure where VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway
segments were removed due to the Cape Girardeau, MO, VOR being
decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network
(MON) program.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, December 31, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

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 route structure as necessary to preserve
the safe and efficient flow of air traffic within the National Airspace
System.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2020-0512 in the Federal Register (85 FR 36172; June 15, 2020),
establishing T-301 and T-305 to expand the availability of RNAV routing
in support of transitioning the NAS from ground-based to satellite-
based navigation. Additionally, portions of the new RNAV routes provide
enroute structure where VHF Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal airway
segments were removed due to the Cape

Girardeau, MO, VOR being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR
Minimum Operational Network (MON) program. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal. No substantive comments were received.
    United States RNAV T-routes are published in paragraph 6011 of FAA
Order 7400.11E dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15, 2020,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV T-routes
listed in this document will be subsequently published in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11E 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 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 to establish RNAV routes T-301 and T-305. The new T-routes are
described below.
    T-301: T-301 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Cape
Girardeau, MO, DME and the Peoria, IL, VORTAC. This T-route provides
enroute routing in place of the recently removed V-313 airway segment
between the Cape Girardeau, MO, DME and the Centralia, IL, VORTAC;
routing adjacent to VOR Federal airway V-67 between the Centralia, IL,
VORTAC and the Spinner, IL, VORTAC; and routing over VOR Federal airway
V-129 between the Spinner, IL, VORTAC and the Peoria, IL, VORTAC.
    T-305: T-305 is a new RNAV route that extends between the Cape
Girardeau, MO, DME and the JIBKA, IN, waypoint. This T-route provides
enroute routing adjacent to and slightly beyond the recently removed
VOR Federal airway V-125 between the Cape Girardeau, MO, DME and the
NIKEL fix; routing to transition northeastward to the TYMME, IL,
waypoint (new) located near the Vandalia, IL, VORTAC; and routing
adjacent to VOR Federal airway V-14 between the Vandalia, IL, VORTAC
and the Terra Haute, IN, VORTAC to the JIBKA, IN, waypoint located
approximately one nautical mile northwest of the Terra Haute VORTAC.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

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 of establishing RNAV routes
T-301 and T305, to expand the availability of RNAV routing in support
of transitioning the NAS from ground-based to satellite-based
navigation, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the National
Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR
part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental
Impacts: Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically
excludes from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions
that designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes,
and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C,
D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points). As such, this action is not expected to result in any
potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA
Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the
FAA has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2011-0621; Airspace Docket No. 11-ASO-28]

Proposed Amendment of Class D and E Airspace; Tri-Cities, TN;
Revocation of Class E Airspace; Tri-City, TN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking would rename
the city designator listed under the title in the preamble and
regulatory text for Tri-Cities Regional Airport, and establish Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Hawkins
County Airport, Rogersville, TN, and Virginia Highlands Airport,
Abington, VA. The Tri-Cities Class D airspace description would be
amended to better describe the controlled airspace area. In an NPRM
published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2012, the FAA proposed
to amend existing controlled airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Tri-Cities Airport, Blountville, TN, that included
the airports mentioned above. The FAA has reassessed the proposal and
finds that separation of existing Class E airspace surrounding Virginia
Highlands Airport, Abingdon, VA, and Hawkins County Airport,
Rogersville, TN, from the Class E airspace area of Tri-Cities Regional
Airport, Tri-Cities, TN, is necessary to further the safety and
management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations in the Tri-
Cities, TN area.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 13, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this rule to: U. S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 28, 2012, the FAA published a NPRM to amend Class D and
Class E airspace, Blountville, TN, and revoke Class E airspace at Tri-
City, TN, (77 FR, 21505). The comment period closed May 25, 2012. No
comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA reassessed
the proposal to show the separation of Hawkins County Airport, and
Virginia Highlands Airport, from the Tri-Cities Regional Airport, by
establishing each airport with their own respective city designator.
The Tri-Cities Class D airspace description would be amended to better
describe the controlled airspace area. The city designator for Tri-
Cities Regional Airport was changed to Blountville, TN, in error, and
would be noted correctly as Tri-Cities, TN, in this action. The FAA
seeks comments on this SNPRM.

The Supplemental Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) Part 71 by renaming the city designator listed in
the preamble under title, and regulatory text from Blountville, TN, to
Tri-Cities, TN. This action also would establish Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Hawkins County
Airport, Rogersville, TN, and Virginia Highlands Airport, Abingdon, VA,
and would amend existing Class E airspace and Class D airspace to
accommodate standard instrument approach procedures developed at Tri-
Cities Regional Airport (formerly Tri-City Regional Airport), Tri-
Cities, TN/VA. The Class E surface area airspace designated as an
extension would be removed. The Tri-Cities Class D airspace description
would be amended to better describe the controlled airspace area. The
geographic coordinates of the airport would be adjusted to be in
concert with the FAAs aeronautical database.
    Class D and E airspace designations are published in Paragraph
5000, 6002, 6004, and 6005, respectively of FAA order 7400.9W, dated
August 8, 2012, and effective September 15, 2012, which is incorporated
by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and E airspace designations
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the 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 proposed 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 proposed regulation is within the scope
of that authority as it would amend controlled airspace in the Tri-
Cities, TN, area.
    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0163]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Carolina Boat Bash, Little River Inlet,
Little River, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard proposes to establish a special local
regulation for the Carolina Boat Bash in Little River Inlet, SC. This
action is necessary to ensure safety of life on navigable waters during
the Carolina Boat Bash. During the enforcement period, no person or
vessel may enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the
designated area unless authorized by Sector Charleston COTP or a
designated representative.

DATES: Comments and related material must be received by the Coast
Guard on or before August 9, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by docket number USCG-
2018-0163 using the Federal eRulemaking Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. See the ``Public Participation and Request for
Comments'' portion of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for further
instructions on submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
proposed rulemaking, call or email Lieutenant Justin Heck, Sector
Charleston Waterways Management Division, Coast

Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Pub. L. Public Law
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code
COTP Captain of the Port

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    On February 23, 2018, the Coast Guard was notified by the Freedom
Boat Club/DBC about the Carolina Boat Bash, which will be held on
August 18, 2018, and will impact waters of the Little River Inlet,
Little River, South Carolina. The legal basis for the proposed rule is
the Coast Guard's authority to establish special local regulations is
33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the rule is to ensure safety of life on
navigable waters of the United States during the Carolina Boat Bash.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The COTP proposes to establish a special local regulation from 11
a.m. to 6 p.m. on August 18, 2018. The event will consist of live music
from two 40' by 20' spud barges. This is expected to be a heavily
attended event with an estimated 1200-1400 recreational boats possibly
transiting the area.
    The proposed special local regulation is necessary to ensure the
safety of participants, spectators, and vessels from the hazards
associated with the event. The duration of the special local regulation
is intended to ensure the safety of event participants, the general
public, vessels and navigable waters during the event scheduled time
frame. Approximately 1400 vessels are anticipated to transit through
the event area during that time frame. No vessel or person would be
permitted to enter the marked regulated area without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. The regulatory
text we are proposing appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders and
we discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This NPRM has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) Non-participant persons and vessels may
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement periods if authorized by the COTP or a
designated representative; (2) vessels not authorized to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area may operate in
the surrounding areas during the enforcement period; and (3) the Coast
Guard will provide advance notification of the special local regulation
to the local maritime community by Local Notice to Mariners and
Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    We have considered the impact of this proposed rule on small
entities. This rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owner or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area
during the enforcement period. For the reasons stated in section IV.A.
above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect
your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you
have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that
question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action
of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or

more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made
a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This proposed rule involves a special
local regulation on one day lasting from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
prohibiting traffic from approaching the barges. Normally such actions
are categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L 63(b)
of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev.
01. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed
rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

V. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0929; Directorate Identifier 2013-CE-031-AD;
Amendment 39-17646; AD 2013-22-14]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for any DG
Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000T glider equipped with a Solo
Kleinmotoren Model 2350 C engine. This AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by the aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment.
We are issuing this AD to require actions to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 25, 2013.
    We must receive comments on this AD by December 19, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued AD
No.: 2013-0217-E, dated September 16, 2013 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence of Solo 2350 C engine shaft failure and consequent
propeller detachment was reported. The preliminary investigation
revealed that the failed shaft was earlier modified in accordance
with an approved method.
    This condition, if not corrected, could lead to additional cases
of release of the propeller from the engine, possibly resulting in
damage to the sailplane, or injury to persons on the ground.
    For the reasons described above, this AD prohibits operation of
the engine.
    This AD is considered to be a temporary measure and further AD
action will follow.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket No.
FAA-2013-0929.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
evaluated all information provided by the State of Design Authority and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other products of the same type design.
    We will work with the type certificate holder and EASA to evaluate
information and to develop an engine modification. Based on this, we
may initiate further rulemaking action to address the unsafe condition
identified in this AD.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because
engine shaft failure and consequent propeller detachment could cause
damage to the glider and could cause injury to persons on the ground.
Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity for public comment
before issuing this AD are impracticable and that good cause exists for
making this amendment effective in fewer than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2013-0929; Directorate
Identifier 2013-CE-031-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,

environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD because of
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 2 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about .5 work-hour per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $85, or $42.50 per product.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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

    (1) As of November 25, 2013 (the effective date of this AD), do
not operate the engine unless the engine is modified following
instructions that are approved by the FAA specifically for this AD.
Contact the FAA office identified in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD to
get more information about obtaining such instructions.
    (2) As of November 25, 2013 (the effective date of this AD),
place a copy of this AD into the limitations section of the aircraft
flight manual (AFM).
    (3) Modifying the engine following instructions approved by the
FAA specifically for this AD removes the prohibited engine operation
required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD and removes the requirement
to incorporate this AD into the limitations section of the AFM.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Klamath Falls,
Oregon Nonattainment Area; Fine Particulate Matter Emissions Inventory
and SIP Strengthening Measures

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ)
submitted a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), dated
December 14, 2012, to address Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)
requirements for the Klamath Falls, Oregon nonattainment area for the
2006 24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5) national
ambient air quality standard (NAAQS). The EPA proposes to approve the
emissions inventory contained in the ODEQ's submittal as meeting the
requirement to submit a comprehensive, accurate, and current inventory
of direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursor emissions in
Klamath Falls, Oregon. The EPA also proposes to approve
PM2.5 control measures contained in the December 2012
submittal because incorporation of these measures will strengthen the
Oregon SIP and reduce sources of PM2.5 emissions in the
Klamath Falls, Oregon nonattainment area (Klamath Falls NAA) that
contribute to violations of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 29, 2015.

I. Background

A. PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards

    Under section 109 of the CAA, the EPA establishes NAAQS for certain
pervasive air pollutants (referred to as ``criteria pollutants'') and
conducts periodic reviews of the NAAQS to determine whether they should
be revised or whether new NAAQS should be established. After a new
NAAQS is established or an existing NAAQS is revised, all areas across
the country are evaluated to determine whether they meet the new or
revised standard, and

area designations are promulgated based on that evaluation.
    On July 18, 1997, the EPA revised the NAAQS for particulate matter
to add new standards for fine particles, using PM2.5
(particles less than or equal to 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic
diameter) as the indicator for the pollutant. The EPA established
primary and secondary \1\ annual and 24-hour standards for
PM2.5 (62 FR 38652). The annual standard was set at 15.0
micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\), based on a 3-year average of
the annual mean PM2.5 concentrations, and the 24-hour
standard was set at 65 [mu]g/m\3\, based on the 3-year average of the
98th percentile of 24-hour PM2.5 concentrations. On October
17, 2006, the EPA revised the level of the 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS to 35 [mu]g/m\3\, based on a 3-year average of the 98th
percentile of 24-hour concentrations (71 FR 61144). On December 14,
2012, the EPA revised the primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS to
provide increased protection of public health and welfare from fine
particle pollution (78 FR 3086, January 15, 2013). In that action, the
EPA revised the primary annual PM2.5 standard, strengthening
it from 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\) to 12.0 [mu]g/
m\3\, which is attained when the 3-year average of the annual
arithmetic means does not exceed 12.0 [mu]g/m\3\.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For a given air pollutant, ``primary'' national ambient air
quality standards are those determined by the EPA as requisite to
protect the public health, and ``secondary'' standards are those
determined by the EPA as requisite to protect the public welfare
from any known or anticipated adverse effects associated with the
presence of such air pollutant in the ambient air. See CAA section
109(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Designation of PM2.5 Nonattainment Areas

    Effective December 14, 2009, the EPA established the initial air
quality designations for most areas in the United States for the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS (74 FR 58688, November 13, 2009). The
Klamath Falls area was designated nonattainment for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. The boundaries for this area are described in
40 CFR 81.338.

C. Submittal Requirements for PM2.5 Nonattainment Areas

    In March 2012, the EPA issued guidance to states for implementation
of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS (March 2012 Implementation
Guidance).\2\ The guidance recommended that states make submissions for
the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS consistent with the substantive
requirements developed for implementation of the 1997 PM2.5
NAAQS at 40 CFR part 51, subpart Z (Provisions for Implementation of
PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards, 40 CFR
51.1000, et seq.). In December 2012, based on the March 2012
Implementation Guidance, the ODEQ submitted a SIP revision intended to
address the nonattainment planning requirements for the Klamath Falls
NAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Memorandum from Stephen D. Page, Implementation Guidance for
the 2006 24-Hour Fine Particulate (PM2.5) National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (Mar. 2, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 4, 2013, the Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia remanded to the EPA the Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation
Rule (72 FR 20586, Apr. 25, 2007) (hereafter referred to as the
``PM2.5 implementation rule'') which formed the basis of the
40 CFR part 51, subpart Z nonattainment planning requirements. Natural
Resources Defense Council v. EPA, 706 F.3d 428 (D.C. Cir. 2013). The
Court concluded that the EPA had improperly based the PM2.5
implementation rule solely upon the requirements of part D, subpart 1
of the CAA, and had failed to address the requirements of part D,
subpart 4. As a result of the Court's remand of the PM2.5
implementation rule, the EPA withdrew its March 2012 Implementation
Guidance because it was based largely on the remanded rule promulgated
to implement the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.\3\ The EPA is currently
engaged in rulemaking to address the Court's remand of the
PM2.5 implementation rule. In the interim, however, the EPA
continues to take action on SIP submissions from states intended to
address nonattainment planning requirements for the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS, consistent with the CAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Memorandum from Stephen D. Page, Withdrawal of
Implementation Guidance for the 2006 24-Hour Fine Particle
(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (Jun. 6,
2013).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This action is limited to proposing approval of the emissions
inventory of direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors
submitted by the ODEQ for the Klamath Falls NAA as required under
section 172(c)(3) of the CAA, and the approval of specific control
measures that are expected to strengthen the SIP. These control
measures independently meet requirements for control measures in
attainment plans and the emissions reductions they achieve will
contribute to attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS in the
Klamath Falls NAA.

II. Analysis of the State's Submittal

A. Emissions Inventory

    The EPA promulgated emissions inventory requirements for the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS as part of the PM2.5 implementation
rule at 40 CFR 51.1008. The decision in NRDC v. EPA remanded the
PM2.5 implementation rule because it did not incorporate the
specific particulate matter requirements of subpart 4, part D, title I.
The emission inventory requirements set forth in the PM2.5
implementation rule were based on the CAA section 172(c)(3)
requirements in subpart 1. Subpart 4 contains no specific provision
governing emissions inventories for PM10 or PM2.5
nonattainment areas that supersedes the general emissions inventory
requirement for all nonattainment areas in section 172(c)(3). See
``State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the Implementation
of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,'' (57 FR 13498,
13539, April 16, 1992) (hereinafter ``General Preamble''). Accordingly,
the EPA is evaluating the ODEQ's emissions inventory for the Klamath
Falls NAA pursuant to the CAA requirements in section 172(c)(3).
    Section 172(c)(3) of the CAA requires a state with an area
designated as nonattainment to submit to the EPA for approval a
comprehensive, accurate, and current inventory of actual emissions of
the pollutant at issue, including emissions of any precursor of that
pollutant, for the nonattainment area. These inventories provide a
detailed accounting of all emissions and emissions sources by pollutant
and precursor pollutant within the nonattainment area. In addition,
inventories are used to model air quality to demonstrate attainment of
the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable. The
EPA reviewed, in accordance with the August 2005 EPA guidance,
``Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and
Particulate Matter NAAQS and Regional Haze Regulations,'' the
procedures and methodologies used by the ODEQ to develop the emission
inventory for the 2008 base year emissions inventory for the Klamath
Falls NAA. In accordance with section 172(c)(3) and consistent with EPA
guidance, Oregon's attainment plan as described below includes a
comprehensive, accurate, and current inventory of emissions of all
direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors in the Klamath
Falls NAA.
    To develop an emissions inventory that matches the conditions under
which the design value concentration are measured, the ODEQ emissions
inventory addresses annual emissions, typical season day emissions, and
worst case day emissions. Annual emissions, measured in tons per year
(``tpy''), are the total amount of emissions over the course of a
calendar year. The typical season day and worst-case day

emissions are measured in pounds (lbs) per day and are calculated for
the PM season, which is the four-month period between November and
February when ambient PM concentrations from anthropogenic sources are
generally the highest. Typical season day emissions are the average
emissions over the four-month PM season, and worst case day emissions
are the amount emitted on winter days with a diurnal temperature range
representative of PM2.5 exceedances. Most source categories
are modeled using the typical season day emissions. Worst-case day
emissions are better suited for select sources, such as residential
wood combustion and motor vehicles, with emissions highly dependent on
temperature. At colder temperatures there is a behavioral increase in
home heating using woodstoves, and vehicle emissions associated with
start-up emissions are higher on colder days.
    The year 2008 was selected by ODEQ as the base year for the
emissions inventory because it was the most recent year that Oregon
completed the NEI data submittal prior to the designation of the
Klamath Falls NAA in 2009. The selection of 2008 as the baseline year
for the emissions inventory is consistent with the emissions inventory
requirement in section 172(c)(3) because it provides an inventory of
emissions for one of the years relied upon for the nonattainment
designation. The ODEQ's 2008 base year emissions inventory includes
emissions of direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors
that cover the general source categories of stationary point sources,
stationary nonpoint sources (area sources), non-road mobile sources,
and on-road mobile sources. The main sources of emissions in the
Klamath Falls NAA are residential wood combustion, mobile and non-road
sources, and point sources. The pollutants that comprise the 2008 base
year inventory include direct PM2.5 and the precursors to
the formation of PM2.5 which are nitrogen oxide
(NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia
(NH3), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).
    The point source inventory provides facility-specific data for
point source emissions from Klamath Falls' permitted stationary
sources. Permitted point sources include industrial sources, non-
industrial sources, gas stations, crematories, and portable sources.
The emissions inventory includes actual point source emissions for both
the annual and the seasonal inventory. For purposes of the worst-case
day emission inventory, the emissions for permitted point sources are
reported at 80% of the permitted operating capacity because such
specific daily actual emissions are not available for permitted point
sources in the same manner as annual and typical season emissions. The
EPA agrees that 80% of permitted emissions is a conservative estimate
for worst-case day actual emissions and, given that permitted point
sources were not found to be significantly contributing to the
monitored violations. This will be further discussed in a future notice
when the EPA acts on the ODEQ's control strategy for the Klamath Falls
NAA.
    The complete inventory, located in the docket for this rulemaking,
also includes a description of minor non-permitted point sources. Area
sources for the Klamath Falls NAA are divided into six groups: Waste
disposal, treatment and recovery; small stationary fossil fuel
combustion; residential wood combustion; fugitive dust; evaporative/
off-gassing emissions sources; and miscellaneous area sources. The on-
road mobile source emissions inventory includes all sources of mobile
exhaust, brake, and tire emissions generated by passenger vehicles,
trucks, miscellaneous vehicles, and re-entrained road dust. Non-road
mobile sources inventoried include aircraft, gasoline and diesel-
powered vehicles and equipment, recreational marine vessels, and
trains.
    The ODEQ compiled the emissions inventory relying on information
from a variety of sources. Permitted point source emissions data were
taken from the ODEQ Tracking Reporting and Administration of Air
Contaminant Sources (TRAACS) database which is submitted to the EPA
National Emissions Inventory System. Many area source emissions were
taken from the 2008 EPA National Emissions Inventory (NEI) v.1.5. The
ODEQ Area Mobile Emissions Estimates (AMEE) database was also a source
of emissions data for mobile emissions. Additional emissions
information was taken from a 2007/2008 residential wood combustion
survey and from use of the EPA Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator
(MOVES). All remaining emissions were modeled or inventoried
specifically for this attainment plan. The full emissions inventory
submitted by the ODEQ and a detailed description of the methodology
used to compile the inventory is presented in Attachment 3.3l of the
SIP submittal included in the docket for this action.
    Table 1 summarizes the annual emissions for Klamath Falls in 2008
and Table 2 summarizes the worst-case day emissions for Klamath Falls
in 2008. Typical season day emissions information can be found in
Attachment 3.3l of the SIP submittal included in the docket for this
action.

    The EPA reviewed the results, procedures and methodologies for the
2008 base year emissions inventory in accordance with the EPA's current
guidance, ``Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone
and Particulate Matter NAAQS and Regional Haze Regulations'' (August
2005). The ODEQ used standard procedures to develop the emissions
inventory and appropriately used seasonal and worst-case day emissions
inventories to represent episodic meteorological conditions when
PM2.5 levels are of the greatest concern. For this reason,
the EPA is proposing approval of Klamath Falls' 2008 base year
emissions inventory as meeting the requirements of section 172(c)(3) of
the CAA.

B. Description of the Klamath County PM2.5 Control Measures

    On December 12, 2012, the ODEQ submitted to the EPA for approval
revisions to a number of rules related to the Klamath Falls NAA. These
revisions consist of updates to identify the Klamath Falls NAA and to
adopt local and state measures to ensure permanent and enforceable
control strategies intended to bring the area back into attainment
through control of PM2.5 and its precursors. Specifically,
the ODEQ revised rules in Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR) Chapter
340, Divisions 200, 204, 225, 240, 262, and 264. These revisions, and
the EPA's proposed actions on them, are described below.
Division 204: Designation of Air Quality Areas
    The ODEQ revised OAR Chapter 340, Division 204 to include a
description of the Klamath Falls PM2.5 NAA boundary. The EPA
proposes to approve and incorporate by reference (IBR) this revision
into the SIP because the area description is essential for delineating
the nonattainment area, and we believe the area description is
consistent with the EPA description in the designation for the area.
Division 225: Air Quality Analysis Requirements
    The ODEQ revised OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, in conjunction with promulgating
OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, as encouragement for direct PM10 and
PM2.5 emissions reductions from residential wood-fired
devices as a means to offset, in an equal or greater amount, emissions
increases from new major sources or major modifications to major
sources located in the Klamath Falls NAA, provided such sources do not
cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS. The revisions to OAR
340-225-0090 exempt a source which proposes to use qualifying woodstove
offsets from the need to conduct an air dispersion modeling analysis to
demonstrate a net air quality benefit as would otherwise be required.
Woodstove emissions are the primary source of PM2.5
emissions contributing to NAAQS violations in the NAA and reductions in
woodstove emissions would presumptively result in a net air quality
benefit when used to offset new emissions from a stationary source
located within the NAA. A source proposing to use other sources of
emission offsets, or woodstove offsets that don't meet the requirements
of OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, would still need to conduct a dispersion modeling
analysis to demonstrate a net air quality benefit. The revisions are
designed to maintain and promote continued air quality improvement
while allowing for economic growth that does not negatively affect the
airshed.
    In a letter dated September 15, 2014, Oregon withdrew the submitted
SIP revision for OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>(2)(a)(C). Accordingly, the EPA is not
acting on the revisions to OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>(2)(a)(C) which establish
inter-pollutant offset ratios. Oregon may submit a revision in the
future establishing inter-pollutant offset ratios supported by an
appropriate demonstration, or alternatively revise these ratios in
accordance with the July 21, 2011, EPA memorandum that addresses the
Federal inter-pollutant offset policy (76 FR 80747). The EPA proposes
to approve and IBR the revisions to OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, except for OAR
340-225-0090(2)(a)(C), and the revision to<PHONE_NUMBER>(2)(a)(B) based
on the PM2.5 inter-pollutant offset ratio, as it provides
equivalent protection of the NAAQS and encourages improved air quality
by reducing direct PM emissions from wood fired devices in the Klamath
Falls NAA.
Division 240: Rules for Areas With Unique Air Quality Needs
    Revisions to OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>, 340-240-
0510,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>,<PHONE_NUMBER>, 340-240-
0560, describe and allow for the implementation of multiple control
measures associated with emissions of PM2.5 in the Klamath
Falls NAA. The ODEQ updated the rule definitions to include necessary
cross-references to applicable rules and to add new definitions needed
for implementation of the control measures. Control measures include
opacity standards, fugitive emissions control, operation and
maintenance plan requirements, industrial source compliance schedules,
and residential wood fuel-fired device offset requirements for new
sources, and PM2.5 and PM10 offsets.
    The 20% opacity standard and fugitive emissions control rules limit
emissions being emitted into the Klamath Falls NAA from stationary
sources including industrial facilities. The operation and maintenance
plan requirements and the industrial source compliance schedule (a
schedule to develop and implement a plan for compliance with the
opacity standards, fugitive emissions requirements, and operations and
maintenance plans listed in OAR<PHONE_NUMBER> through -0540), support
reduced particulate matter emissions through enhanced management of
source operation. The offsets rules in OAR<PHONE_NUMBER>, in
coordination with the rule revisions in OAR Chapter 340, Division 225,
allow for offsets to be obtained within the Klamath Falls NAA from
residential wood combustion at a ratio of one ton of PM2.5
emissions to one ton of woodstove emissions reductions while ensuring
that the increased emissions from new or modified sources will not
cause or contribute to a violation of the NAAQS. The EPA proposes to
approve these rules as they are permanent and enforceable SIP
strengthening measures that contribute to progress toward attainment of
the 2006 PM2.5 24-hr NAAQS in this area.

Division 264: Rules for Open Burning
    The revisions to OAR Chapter 340, Division 264 enhance the open
burning rule in Oregon and the Klamath Falls NAA. Specifically, the
revised rule includes language aligning open burning with ideal
dispersion conditions; provides a description and map of the Klamath
Basin Open Burning Control Area; and provides rules specific to the
Klamath Falls NAA prohibiting open burning from industrial, commercial,
construction and demolition operations. The rule revisions will reduce
emissions through the prohibition of open burning within the Klamath
Falls NAA. The EPA proposes to approve and IBR these rule revisions
because they are permanent and enforceable measures that support
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS by reducing the amount of
particulate matter in the area.
Klamath County Clean Air Ordinances
    In its December 12, 2012 submittal, the ODEQ included as control
measures the 2007 and 2012 Klamath County Clean Air Ordinances. These
two ordinances establish permanent and enforceable control measures on
sources that account for the majority of PM2.5 emissions in
the Klamath Falls NAA. The 2007 Klamath County Clean Air Ordinance is
more specifically identified as Chapter 406, Ordinance No. 63.05,
enacted August 7, 2007 (2007 Ordinance). The 2012 Klamath County Clean
Air Ordinance is more specifically identified as Chapter 406, Ordinance
No. 63.06, enacted December 31, 2012 (2012 Ordinance).
    The 2007 and 2012 Ordinances were enacted to control emissions from
home heating devices for the purpose of meeting the 2006
PM2.5 24-hr NAAQS. The 2007 ordinance provides for lower
thresholds for yellow and red air quality advisory days which require
the curtailment of wood burning and therefore reduce emissions of
PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors. With these lower
thresholds, wood burning restrictions would be in place on days that
most likely contribute to a 24-hour NAAQS violation. This provision, in
conjunction with increased enforcement at the County level, is expected
to be a core part of the area's attainment plan. The 2007 ordinance has
provisions identical to the state wide Heat Smart Program that require
removal of uncertified stoves upon sale of a home, and also provisions
that reduce the number of available residential open burning days and
prohibit the use of burn barrels. The 2012 ordinance required new and
retrofit fireplaces to meet lower emissions standards.
    The EPA proposes to approve and IBR the 2007 and 2012 Klamath Falls
Clean Air Ordinances because they support attainment and maintenance of
the NAAQS in the Klamath Falls NAA.

III. Proposed Action

    The EPA proposes to approve the PM2.5 and
PM2.5 precursor emissions inventory for the Klamath Falls
NAA, submitted by ODEQ on December 12, 2012, as meeting the emissions
inventory requirements of section 172(c)(3) of the CAA for 2006
PM2.5 24-hr NAAQS nonattainment area planning. The EPA also
proposes to approve and incorporate into the SIP the specific control
measures submitted by the ODEQ on December 12, 2012, to the extent set
forth in this notice. These control measures are described in this
action and are included in the docket for this proposed action. If
approved, these specific control measures would become part of the
Oregon SIP. The EPA is not taking action on certain aspects of the
revisions submitted by the ODEQ. The EPA expects to take action on the
remaining SIP revisions and any additional revisions that may be
submitted by the ODEQ in the future.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
