II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    NASDAQ is proposing to amend NASDAQ Rules 7015(b) and (g) to modify
the monthly fee it charges for ports used to enter orders in the NASDAQ
Market Center for the trading of equities, in connection with the use
of FIX and other trading telecommunication protocols.\3\ NASDAQ
recently increased fees for FIX Ports under Rule 7015(b) and for ports
with certain other protocols under Rule 7015(g).\4\ NASDAQ increased
the fees to offset costs associated with upgrading these ports with new
field-programmable gate array (``FPGA'') technology, which is a
hardware-delivery mechanism that provides improved performance in terms
of predictability.\5\ The Exchange implemented the new FPGA hardware
and increased the related port fees on August 3, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Under Rule 7015(g), the Exchange assesses certain port fees
that apply in connection with the use of other trading
telecommunication protocols. NASDAQ charges a $575 per month, per
port pair fee for OUCH and RASH protocol ports, $1,000 per month,
per port pair for software-based TotalView-ITCH, $2,500 per month,
per port pair for combined software- and hardware-based TotalView-
ITCH, and $750 per month, per port pair for TCP ITCH data feed
pairs. Under the rule, the Exchange also assesses an additional $200
per month for each port used for entering orders or quotes over the
Internet and an additional $600 per month for each port used for
market data delivery over the Internet.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 75557 (July 30,
2015), 80 FR 46640 (August 5, 2015) (SR-NASDAQ-2015-086).
    \5\ FPGA hardware is able to process more data packets during
peak market conditions without the introduction of variable queuing
latency, which improves the predictability of telecommunications
ports over non-FPGA hardware and thereby adds value to the user.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NASDAQ recently completed internal testing of future functionality
related to the trading systems and through this testing identified a
potential unforeseen risk, which could cause a disruption to trading
with the FPGA updated ports. As a consequence, the Exchange has
determined that the risk associated with keeping the FPGA technology in
terms of potential disruption to trading outweighs the benefit provided
in terms of increased performance. Additionally, NASDAQ would like to
conduct additional testing and further review of the implementation
before reintroducing the offering. Accordingly, the Exchange is
reverting the affected ports back to the hardware used prior to the
FPGA hardware as a precautionary measure and concurrently reducing the
monthly fees for those ports to their pre-upgrade levels.
2. Statutory Basis
    NASDAQ believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\6\ in general, and with Section
6(b)(5) of the Act \7\ in particular, in that the proposal is designed
to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote
just and equitable principles of trade, to foster cooperation and
coordination with persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling,
processing information with respect to, and facilitating transactions
in securities, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a
free and open market and a national market system, and, in general, to
protect investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that
removing the FPGA hardware and reverting back to the hardware used
prior to the FPGA upgrade will further perfect the NASDAQ market and
serve to protect investors because the change is designed to minimize a
newly-identified risk of a market disruption caused by a technical
issue within the Exchange's control to eliminate. The Exchange
determined that the risk, while unlikely to occur, would be disruptive
to trading and consequently outweighs the benefit it provided.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section

6(b)(4) of the Act \8\ in that it provides for the equitable allocation
of reasonable dues, fees and other charges among members and issuers
and other persons using any facility or system which the Exchange
operates or controls, and it does not unfairly discriminate between
customers, issuers, brokers or dealers. The Exchange believes that the
proposed reduction in port fees under Rules 7015(b) and (g) to their
pre-FPGA upgrade levels is reasonable because NASDAQ is removing the
upgraded hardware from the ports, the cost of which was the basis for
increasing the fees. In addition, applying the lower fees will allow
NASDAQ to keep the fee in line with its realized capital and operating
expenditures, which will be lower going forward based on the operation
of the ports with the pre-upgrade hardware. The Exchange believes that
the proposed reduction of the fees to their prior levels is both
equitably allocated and not unfairly discriminatory because it will
apply uniformly to all market participants that subscribe to FIX Ports
under Rule 7015(b), and OUCH and RASH Ports under Rule 7015(g) based on
the number of such ports subscribed. Accordingly, market participants
will be assessed the fees in place prior to the increase and will have
the same hardware supported by those fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    NASDAQ does not believe that the proposed rule change will result
in any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. The Exchange
believes that the proposal is irrelevant to competition because it is
not driven by, and will have no impact on, competition. Specifically,
the Exchange is reverting fees to their prior, lower levels in light of
the Exchange removing upgraded hardware that was the basis for the fee
increase. Reverting the fees to their lower levels will keep the fees
assessed in line with the Exchange's expenditures at this juncture
associated with offering the ports. As such, the Exchange does not
believe the proposed change will have any impact on competition, as
market participants will be assessed the same fee for their ports with
the same hardware that was in place prior to the fee increase.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(ii).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is: (i)
Necessary or appropriate in the public interest; (ii) for the
protection of investors; or (iii) otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

Airworthiness Directives; Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. (Pilatus) Model PC-12/47E airplanes. This
AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness information
(MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to
identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The
MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as a batch of incorrectly sized
fuel transfer ejector nozzles that were installed on Model PC-12/47E
airplanes during production. This AD requires removing the affected
fuel transfer ejectors from service and prohibits installation of the
affected fuel transfer ejectors. The FAA is issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 24, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 24,
2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain serial-numbered
Pilatus Model PC-12/47E airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on February 10, 2022 (87 FR 7774). The NPRM was prompted by
MCAI from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is
the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued AD 2020-0229, dated October 20, 2020 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition on Pilatus Model PC-12/
47E airplanes with serial number 2001 and larger. The MCAI states:

    An occurrence was reported where, on the production line, a
batch of fuel transfer ejectors with an incorrect (too small) nozzle
diameter were installed on some PC-12/47E aeroplanes. Such fuel
transfer ejectors are not in compliance with the latest approved
design data.
    This condition, if not corrected, could result in a restriction
of the motive fuel flow due to ice accumulation, possibly resulting
in a reduction of safety margins in the fuel system.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Pilatus issued the
SB [Service Bulletin] to provide replacement instructions.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
replacement of the affected parts with serviceable parts, as defined
in the [EASA] AD. This [EASA] AD also prohibits (re-)installation of
affected parts.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-
0092.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require removing the affected fuel
transfer ejectors from service and proposed to prohibit installation of
an affected fuel transfer ejector. The FAA is issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received comments from Pilatus and the Airline Pilots
Association, International (ALPA). The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.
    ALPA supported the NPRM without change.
    Pilatus requested the FAA clarify the unsafe condition statement in
paragraph (e) of the proposed AD. Pilatus disagreed with the conclusion
that reduction in safety margins in the fuel system could result in
loss of control of the airplane. Pilatus explained that a reduction in
safety margins would not lead to loss of control of the airplane; in
the event the engine is starved of fuel, it will shut down but not
necessarily lead to a loss of control because the airplane could glide
controllably for a period of time.
    The FAA agrees and has revised paragraph (e) of this AD to state
that the unsafe condition could lead to ``loss of engine power or
engine shutdown.''

Conclusion

    This model has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant to
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the
comments received, and determined that, except for the changes
described previously, air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on this product. Except for any changes described previously, this AD
is adopted as proposed in the NPRM. None of the changes will increase
the economic burden on any operator.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Pilatus PC-12 Service Bulletin No. 28-014, dated
August 12, 2020. This service information contains the serial numbers
of the affected fuel transfer ejectors and specifies procedures for
replacing the affected fuel transfer ejectors. This service information
is reasonably available because the interested parties have access to
it through their normal course of business or by the means identified
in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 10 airplanes of U.S.
Registry. Although there are 54 affected fuel transfer ejectors
worldwide, the FAA has no way of knowing how many affected parts may be
installed on airplanes of U.S. Registry. The estimated cost on U.S.
operators reflects the maximum possible cost based on the 10 airplanes
of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                         hour = $467.50.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    The FAA is 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

    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 this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Action Apply to Me?

    This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are interested in
agricultural biotechnology or may be required to conduct testing of
pesticidal substances under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) or the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act
(FIFRA). Since other entities may also be interested, the Agency has
not attempted to describe all the specific entities that may be
affected by this action. If you have any questions regarding the
applicability of this action to a particular entity, consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
    3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental
justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group,
including minority and/or low income populations, in the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the
Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population
who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or disproportionately high and adverse human
health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the
pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general
population.

II. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 5 of FIFRA, 7 U.S.C. 136c, EPA can allow
manufacturers to field test pesticides under development. Manufacturers
are required to obtain an EUP before testing new pesticides or new uses
of pesticides if they conduct experimental field tests on 10 acres or
more of land or one acre or more of water.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 172.11(a), the Agency has determined that the
following EUP application may be of regional and national significance,
and therefore is seeking public comment on the EUP application:
    Submitter: Bayer CropScience, (264-EUP-140).
    Pesticide Chemical: Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ab protein and the
genetic material necessary for its production in event T303-3 and T304-
40 cotton plants.
    Summary of Request: Bayer CropScience has requested an amendment
and extension of EUP 264-EUP-140, which was first granted by EPA on
February 7, 2006 (71 FR 41020; July 19, 2006; FRL-8060-6) and was
amended on March 8, 2007 (72 FR 34009; June 20, 2007; FRL-8133-5) and
on August 28, 2008 (a separate document is published elsewhere in this

Federal Register). Under the existing EUP, plantings are permitted
through January 31, 2009. Bayer CropScience is now proposing to amend
the experimental program by conducting testing on 152 acres (out of
1,602 total acres) planted to Cry1Ab-containing cotton, with up to 0.03
pound of Cry1Ab protein and the genetic material necessary for its
production in events T303-3 and T304-40; and to extend the amended
program to run from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010. The Cry1Ab
protein is effective in controlling lepidopteran larvae such as
bollworm (Helicoverpa zea) and tobacco budworm (Heliothis virescens),
which are common pests of cotton. The proposed program will be carried
out in the States of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida,
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, and in Puerto Rico. The proposed experimental program
includes trials to evaluate insect and herbicide efficacy and agronomic
performance. Also proposed is the production of sample material for
regulatory studies and seed production for future experimental field
trial plantings.
    A copy of the application and any information submitted is
available for public review in the docket established for this EUP
application as described under ADDRESSES.
    Following the review of the application and any comments and data
received in response to this solicitation, EPA will decide whether to
issue or deny the EUP request, and if issued, the conditions under
which it is to be conducted. Any issuance of an EUP will be announced
in the Federal Register.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9726-9]

Ambient Air Monitoring Reference and Equivalent Methods:
Designation of a New Equivalent Method

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of the designation of a new equivalent method for
monitoring ambient air quality.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) has designated, in accordance with 40 CFR part 53, a new
equivalent method for measuring concentrations of PM2.5 in
the ambient air.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Vanderpool, Human Exposure and
Atmospheric Sciences Division (MD-D205-03), National Exposure Research
Laboratory, U.S. EPA, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
Email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with regulations at 40 CFR
part 53, the EPA evaluates various methods for monitoring the
concentrations of those ambient air pollutants for which EPA has
established National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQSs) as set
forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring methods that are determined to meet
specific requirements for adequacy are designated by the EPA as either
reference methods or equivalent methods (as applicable), thereby
permitting their use under 40 CFR part 58 by States and other agencies
for determining compliance with the NAAQSs.
    The EPA hereby announces the designation of a new equivalent method
for measuring pollutant concentrations of PM2.5 in the
ambient air. This designation is made under the provisions of 40 CFR
part 53, as

amended on August 31, 2011 (76 FR 54326-54341).
    The new equivalent method for PM2.5 is an automated
monitoring method utilizing a measurement principle based on sample
collection by filtration and analysis by beta-ray attenuation. The
newly designated equivalent method is identified as follows:
    EQPM-0812-203, ``OPSIS SM200- Dust Monitor'' configured for
PM2.5 with the US EPA PM10 inlet specified in 40
CFR part 50 Appendix L, followed by a BGI Inc. Very Sharp Cut Cyclone
(VSCC\TM\) particle size separator, operated for a 24-hour continuous
sample period at a total actual flow rate of 16.67 L/min. using 47mm
PTFE membrane filters, a TS200 temperature stabilizer and software
version 1.04.16 or later, in accordance with the OPSIS SM200 Dust
Monitor Operation and Instruction Guide.''
    The application for equivalent method determination for the
PM2.5 method was received by the Office of Research and
Development on June 21, 2011. This monitor is commercially available
from the applicant OPSIS Inc., 150 N. Michigan Ave., Suite 1950,
Chicago, IL 60601.
    Test monitors representative of this method have been tested in
accordance with the applicable test procedures specified in 40 CFR part
53, as amended on August 31, 2011. After reviewing the results of those
tests and other information submitted in the application, EPA has
determined, in accordance with Part 53, that this method should be
designated as an equivalent method. The information in the application
will be kept on file, either at EPA's National Exposure Research
Laboratory, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711 or in an
approved archive storage facility, and will be available for inspection
(with advance notice) to the extent consistent with 40 CFR part 2
(EPA's regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act).
    As a designated equivalent method, this method is acceptable for
use by states and other air monitoring agencies under the requirements
of 40 CFR part 58, Ambient Air Quality Surveillance. For such purposes,
the method must be used in strict accordance with the operation or
instruction manual associated with the method and subject to any
specifications and limitations (e.g., configuration or operational
settings) specified in the applicable designated method description
(see the identification of the method above).
    Use of the method also should be in general accordance with the
guidance and recommendations of applicable sections of the ``Quality
Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution Measurement Systems, Volume I,''
EPA/600/R-94/038a and ``Quality Assurance Handbook for Air Pollution
Measurement Systems, Volume II, Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Program'' EPA-454/B-08-003, December, 2008. Provisions concerning
modification of such methods by users are specified under Section 2.8
(Modifications of Methods by Users) of Appendix C to 40 CFR part 58.
    Consistent or repeated noncompliance should be reported to:
Director, Human Exposure and Atmospheric Sciences Division (MD-E205-
01), National Exposure Research Laboratory, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711.
    Designation of this new equivalent method is intended to assist the
States in establishing and operating their air quality surveillance
systems under 40 CFR part 58. Questions concerning the commercial
availability or technical aspects of the method should be directed to
the applicant.

Jennifer Orme-Zavaleta,
Director, National Exposure Research Laboratory.

any new service (including charter flights) from a foreign airport that
would be the holder’s last point of departure for the United States,
contact its Principal Security Inspector (PSI) to advise the PSI of its
plans and to find out whether the Transportation Security Administration
has determined that security is adequate to allow such airport(s) to be
served;

(3)  Comply with the requirements for minimum insurance coverage
contained in 14 CFR Part 205, and, prior to the commencement of any
operations under this authority, file evidence of such coverage, in the
form of a completed OST Form 6411, with the Federal Aviation
Administration’s Program Management Branch (AFS-260), Flight Standards

concerning waiver of Warsaw Convention liability limits and defenses;

(7)  Agree that operations under this authority constitute a waiver of
sovereign immunity, for the purposes of 28 U.S.C. 1605(a), but only with
respect to those actions or proceedings instituted against it in any
court or other tribunal in the United States that are: (a)  based on its
operations in international air transportation that, according to the
contract of carriage, include a point in the United States as a point of
origin, point of destination, or agreed stopping place, or for which the
contract of carriage was purchased in the United States; or (b)  based
on a claim under any international agreement or treaty cognizable in any
court or other tribunal of the United States.  In this condition, the
term "international air transportation" means "international
transportation" as defined by the Warsaw Convention, except that all
States shall be considered to be High Contracting Parties for the
purpose of this definition;

(8)  Except as specifically authorized by the Department, originate or
terminate all flights to/from the United States in its homeland;

(9)  Comply with the requirements of 14 CFR Part 217, concerning the
reporting of scheduled, nonscheduled, and charter data;

(10) If charter operations are authorized, except as otherwise provided
in the applicable aviation agreement, comply with the Department's rules
governing charters (including 14 CFR Parts 212 and 380); and

limitations required by the public interest as may be prescribed by the
Department, with all applicable orders or regulations of other U.S.
agencies and courts, and with all applicable laws of the United States.

Esteban Mujica Cotto, Esq.

President

Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board

P.O. Box 11488

San Juan, Puerto Rico  00910-1488

Dear Mr. Mujica:

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has completed its review
of the revisions to the Puerto Rico Water Quality Standards Regulation
(PRWQSR) dated March 2003. These revisions were adopted by the Puerto
Rico Environmental Quality Board (PREQB), and submitted to EPA, on March
28, 2003.  They became effective on June 5, 2003.  By letter dated May
28, 2003, and received by EPA on June 11, 2003, Puerto Rico(s Secretary
of Justice certified that the 2003 revisions had been adopted in
accordance with the law of the Ccommonwealth. In taking this action, EPA
considered the following documents submitted in connection with the
revised PRWQSR:

the letter from the Commonwealth(s Secretary of Justice, Ms. Anabelle
Rodriguez (Attorney General), certifying that the standards were duly
adopted pursuant to Commonwealth law (dated May 28, 2003);

the applicable notices from the El Vocero, and the San Juan Star (both
dated February 6, 2002);

PREQB(s Resolution and Notification R-03-5 regarding the amendments to
the PRWQSR (dated March 31, 2003); and,

The Responsiveness Summary (Hearing Examiner(s report) on the comments
received during the public comment period and at the public hearing held
on March 6, 2002  (dated March 25, 2003).

Under Section 303(c) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. ( 1313(c),
states are required to conduct a triennial review of their water quality
standards and submit any new or revised standards to EPA for review.
Federal regulations at 40 C.F.R. (( 131.20-131.22 implement these
requirements.  Puerto Rico(s previous review and revision of its water
quality

standards regulations were adopted on July 20, 1990, and became
effective on October 27, 1990.  As part of the review process on the
2003 revisions, PREQB held a public hearing on March 6, 2002 to receive
public input and comment on the proposed revisions to the PRWQSR.  EPA
considers the adoption of the 2003 revisions to the PRWQSR, along with
the public review and comment process, to constitute the Commonwealth(s
triennial review of water quality standards.  Based on our review,
PREQB(s procedures are consistent with, and satisfy the procedural
requirements of 40 C.F.R. ( 131.20.

The following constitute the revisions which are being addressed under
this action.  These revisions enhance the PRWQSR, and represent
improvements in the PRWQSR.

revisions to the Puerto Rico antidegradation policy, to include the
protection of threatened and endangered species, which are approved as
being consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R. ( 131.12;

the adoption of several new and revised definitions (Article 1),
including the definitions of (acute effect, existing uses, natural
background concentration, pollutant, primary contact, and sewage,( as
well as the deletion of (pollute,( which are approved as being
consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R.     ( 131.3;

the reclassification of 10 bays/estuaries, which were previously
classified as  Class SC waters to Class SB (Article 2.1.3), which are
approved as being consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R. (
131.10(a) - (e);

the inclusion of the term (wetlands( in the introductory paragraph
regarding      the applicability of the Commonwealth(s general water
quality standards to the waters of Puerto Rico (Article 3), which is
approved as being consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R. (
122.2;

the adoption of numerous chemical-specific numeric criteria for toxic
pollutants of concern in the Commonwealth (Article 3.1.9 (A) - (E)), as
required by Section 303(c)(2)(B) of the CWA, which are approved as being
consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R. (131.11.

the inclusion of the protection of threatened or endangered species as a
designated use for Class SB, SC and SD waters (Articles 3.2.2 -  3.2.4),
which is approved as being consistent with the requirements under 40
C.F.R. ( 131.10(a);

the revision of the fecal coliform criteria for Class SD waters
(freshwaters) from 2000/100ml (geometric mean) to 200/100ml, and
4000/100ml (not to exceed) to  400/100ml, which are approved as being
consistent with the requirements under 40 C.F.R. ( 131.6(c) and, 40
C.F.R. ( 131.11(a);

revisions which further clarify the Commonwealth(s policy on the
requirements for point sources to discharge to intermittent streams
(Article 4.3.L and 4.5.1.B), which are approved as being consistent with
the requirements under 40 C.F.R. ( 131.13;

a revision to the mixing zone policy stating that mixing zones shall not
be located  areas which are habitat for threatened or endangered species
(Articles 5.4.11), which is approved as being consistent with the
requirements under 40 C.F.R. ( 131.13;

revisions to the provisions for the granting of  temporary exemptions
(variances) to specify that any approval by the Commonwealth of a
temporary exemption will comply with the following terms and conditions:
(1) the application must contain a justification for the requested
variance consistent with 40 C.F.R. ( 131.10(g)(6), that the costs
necessary to comply with the relevant water quality standard(s) would
result in substantial economic and social impacts; (2) the variance
shall be adopted only after completion of a public participation
process, in conformity with Puerto Rican law and/or regulation, as would
apply to any revision to the PRWQSR; (3) the variance shall be submitted
for  EPA review and approval as a change to water quality standards
before it may take effect (40 C.F.R. 131.21); and (4) if approved, the
variance shall be published in the PRWQSR. (Article 9).   These
revisions are approved as being consistent with the requirements under
40 C.F.R. ( 131.13; and,

inclusion of applicable technical, administrative, and/or editorial
corrections or clarifications to existing provisions throughout the
PRWQSR, which are approved as being consistent with the requirements
under 40 C.F.R. ( 131.3.

By this letter, I am pleased to approve the above revisions to the
PRWQSR pursuant to Section 303(c) of the CWA.  Based upon EPA's review,
it has been determined that all of the new and revised human health and
aquatic life criteria adopted by PREQB in Article 3.1.9 (a) - (e) meet
the requirements of the National Toxics Rule (NTR).  Therefore, these
water quality criteria are approved as consistent with 40 C.F.R. (
131.11.  EPA will begin the process of withdrawing Puerto Rico from the
NTR for all such water quality criteria.

EPA initiated consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the National Marine Fisheries Service (Services) on July 17, 2002, under
Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act.  Section 7(a)(2) requires
that federal agencies, in consultation with the Services, insure that
their actions are not likely to jeopardize the existence of federally
listed species or result in the adverse modification of designated
critical habitat of such species.  In a letters dated  May 27, 2003 and
December 5, 2002, respectively, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and
the National Marine Fisheries Service provided written concurrence that
the revisions to the PRWQSR are not likely to adversely affect
threatened/endangered species (Enclosures 1 and 2).

EPA Region II looks forward to continuing to work with PREQB to further
improve the  PRWQSR.  If you have any questions, please call me at (212)
637-3725 or have your staff contact Mr. Mario Del Vicario, Chief,
Community and Ecosystem Protection Branch at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2016-0181]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North Landing River, Chesapeake,
VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of temporary deviation from drawbridge regulations;
modification.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has modified a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs the S165 (North Landing Road) Bridge
across the North Landing River, mile 20.2, at Chesapeake, VA. This
modified deviation is necessary to perform emergency bridge repairs and
provide for safe navigation. This modified

deviation allows the bridge to remain in the closed-to-navigation
position.

DATES: This modified deviation is effective without actual notice from
April 8, 2016 through 6 p.m. on June 30, 2016. For the purposes of
enforcement, actual notice will be used from April 4, 2016, until April
8, 2016.

at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH''. Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this modified
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Hal R. Pitts, Bridge
Administration Branch Fifth District, Coast Guard, telephone 757-398-
6222, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 11, 2016, the Coast Guard published
a temporary deviation entitled ``Drawbridge Operation Regulation; North
Landing River, Chesapeake, VA'' in the Federal Register (81 FR 12824).
Under that temporary deviation, the north span of the bridge opened-to-
navigation on the hour and half hour, upon request, from 6 a.m. to 7
p.m., and on demand from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. Additionally under that
deviation, the north and south spans of the bridge would open to
navigation concurrently, with the south span only opening partially due
to damage, upon request, for scheduled openings at 10 a.m., noon and 2
p.m., Monday through Friday.
    The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District Office,
who owns and operates the S165 (North Landing Road) Bridge, has
requested a modified temporary deviation from the currently published
deviation to perform additional repairs to the south swing span of the
bridge due to damage sustained as a result of a vessel allision with
the bridge.
    Under this modified temporary deviation, the north span of the
bridge will open-to-navigation on the hour and half hour, upon request,
from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., and on demand from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. The north
and south spans of the bridge will open to navigation concurrently,
with the south span only opening partially due to damage, upon request,
for: (1) Scheduled openings at 9:30 a.m. for vessels transiting
southeast, (2) 10:30 a.m. for vessels transiting northwest, and (3) at
noon and 2 p.m. for two-way vessel traffic through the bridge, Monday
through Friday. The horizontal clearance of the bridge with the south
span closed-to-navigation is 38 feet and the horizontal clearance of
the bridge with the south span partially open-to-navigation is 70 feet.
The modified temporary deviation is necessary to relieve vessel
congestion and provide for safe navigation on the waterway. The bridge
is a double swing draw bridge and has a vertical clearance in the
closed position of 6 feet above mean high water.
    The North Landing River is used by a variety of vessels including
small U.S. government and public vessels, small commercial vessels, tug
and barge, and recreational vessels. The Coast Guard has carefully
considered the nature and volume of vessel traffic on the waterway in
publishing this temporary deviation.
    During the closure times there will be limited opportunity for
vessels which are able to safely pass through the bridge in the closed
position to do so. Vessels able to safely pass through the bridge in
the closed position may do so, after receiving confirmation from the
bridge tender that it is safe to transit through the bridge. The north
span of the bridge will be able to open for emergencies. The Coast
Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our Local and
Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating schedule for
the bridge so that vessel operators can arrange their transit to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: April 4, 2016.
Hal R. Pitts,
Bridge Program Manager, Fifth Coast Guard District.
