SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Overview: Ride the Ducks International, LLC (RTDI), has
determined that certain model year (MY) 1996-2014 Ride the Ducks
International Stretch Amphibious passenger vehicles (APVs) do not fully

comply with paragraph S4.2 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
(FMVSS) No. 113, Hood Latch System, and paragraph S2 of Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 302, Flammability of Interior
Materials. RTDI filed a noncompliance information report dated March
15, 2017, pursuant to 49 CFR 573, Defect and Noncompliance
Responsibility and Reports. RTDI also petitioned NHTSA on April 12,
2017, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h) and 49 CFR part 556,
for an exemption from the notification and remedy requirements of 49
U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this noncompliance is
inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety.
    This notice of receipt of RTDI's petition is published under 49
U.S.C. 30118 and 30120 and does not represent any agency decision or
other exercise of judgment concerning the merits of the petition.
    II. Vehicles Involved: Approximately 105 MY 1996-2014 Ride the
Ducks International Stretch APVs, manufactured between January 1, 1996,
and December 31, 2014, are potentially involved.
    III. Noncompliance: RTDI explained that the noncompliance is that
the subject vehicles were not equipped with a secondary hood latch
system, as required by paragraph S4.2 of FMVSS No. 113 and that there
are interior components and materials that do not conform to the burn
rate requirements of paragraph S2 of FMVSS No. 302.
    IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S4.2 of FMVSS No. 113 states in pertinent
part:

    S4.2 A front opening hood which, in any open position, partially
or completely obstructs a driver's forward view through the
windshield must be provided with a second latch position on the hood
latch system or with a second hood latch system.

    Paragraph S2 of FMVSS No. 302 states in pertinent part:

    S2 Purpose. The purpose of this standard is to reduce the deaths
and injuries to motor vehicle occupants caused by vehicle fires,
especially those originating in the interior of the vehicle from
sources such as matches or cigarettes.

    V. Summary of RTDI's Petition: As background, in 1996, RTDI began
to produce APVs. The original Amphibious Passenger vehicles (APVs) are
based on military vehicles that were capable of operation over both
land and water. The ``Stretch'' APVs were refurbished by RTDI in
accordance with state and U.S. Coast Guard rules and regulations. These
vehicles have renewed hulls that are ``stretched'' over the original
chassis frame and original vehicle components that were replaced with
modern equipment. RTDI manufactured the stretch APVs until 2005, when
RTDI introduced its ``Truck'' APVs. The truck APVs are based on
military cargo vehicles. RTDI has not manufactured any vehicles since
2014.
    RTDI described the subject noncompliance and stated its belief that
the noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle
safety.
    In support of its petition, RTDI submitted the following reasoning:
    1. FMVSS No. 113 specifies, ``a front opening hood which, in any
open position, partially or completely obstructs a driver's forward
view through the windshield must be provided with a second latch
position on the hood latch system or with a second hood latch system.''
49 CFR Sec.  571.113, S4.2. The purpose of FMVSS No. 113 is to
establish requirements for vehicle hood latch systems so that the hood
remains secure while the vehicle is operated.
    2. FMVSS 302 sets out the burn resistance requirements for
materials used in certain parameters within the occupant compartments
of vehicles. The stated purpose of FMVSS No. 302 is ``to reduce the
deaths and injuries to motor vehicle occupants caused by vehicle fires,
especially those originating in the interior of the vehicle from
sources such as matches or cigarettes.'' 49 CFR 571.302, S2.
    3. The fire risks that exist in traditional motor vehicles are not
the same concerns that present themselves in the APVs. Mitigating the
risks of a fire occurring on board an APV are centered around the
operation and safeguarding of the engine compartment and passenger
egress conditions. The USCG has adopted specific design and operational
requirements for APVs.\1\ Pursuant to the USCG regulations, while an
APV is operating, the hood is to remain in an ``open'' position. See 46
CFR 182.460 (``a space containing machinery powered by, or fuel tanks
for, gasoline must have a ventilation system that complies with this
section''), 46 CFR 182.465 (``a space containing diesel machinery must
be fitted with adequate means . . . to provide sufficient air for
proper operation of main engines and auxiliary engines.'') This
requirement is intended to permit a sufficient amount of air flow
around the engine compartment which reduces the potential for the
engine to overheat and potentially cause a fire.\2\ During operation,
the hood of the APV is opened or elevated by approximately four inches.
Although the hood of the APV is slightly raised, it has vertical arms
which rest on manually operated drop latches. The hood does not pose a
risk of opening unexpectedly during operation, even without a secondary
hood latch system. The hoods of the APVs are substantially heavier than
the hoods of traditional motor vehicles. As a practical matter, it is
highly unlikely that the force of the wind against the vehicle could
move the hood of the APV. In its more than 30 years of operation, RTDI
has never received a report or allegation involving the opening of a
vehicle's hood while operating either on the public roads or in the
public waterways.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Under the USCG rubric, APVs are classified as ``T-Boats''
which are small passenger vessels weighing less than 100 gross tons.
    \2\ USCG regulations also require that while operating in the
water, the engine compartment has the ability to be fully closed. In
the event of a fire in the engine compartment, the operator will
deploy the hood latch, dropping the hood and closing off the
compartment. This feature is designed to contain the fire by
preventing the flow of oxygen around the engine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    4. The APVs also have installed a series of systems designed to
protect passengers and allow for ease of egress from the occupant
compartment in the event of a fire. The RTDI vehicles have an open-air
design with multiple areas of passenger egress. Additionally, and per
USCG requirements, all of the vehicles have a fire suppression system
installed throughout the vehicle. The fire suppression systems include
vent closures, heat detection devices, vapor detection systems and fire
extinguishing systems. In the event of a fire in the APV, the operator
will activate the fire suppression system which releases the carbon
dioxide fire extinguishing agent. The vehicles are also equipped with
two portable fire extinguishers and all vehicle operators receive
emergency evacuation training on no less than a quarterly basis, per
Coast Guard requirements, and often more regularly.
    5. By contrast, FMVSS No. 302 is primarily concerned with
protecting passengers against vehicle fires that occur due to flames or
sparks inside the vehicle. In addition to the safety features described
above, the vehicles have implemented other measures that provide an
equivalent measure of safety to vehicle occupants. Smoking is expressly
prohibited in the APVs. Passengers are advised of this requirement
prior to the start of the tour. On board each vehicle there is a
``narrator'' or second crew member present. The narrator sits rearward,
facing into the occupant compartment and is in continuous view of the
passenger's activities at all times while the APV is in operation. The
narrator is physically located so that he/she would

be able to see and stop a passenger attempting to light a match, flame
or smoke on board.
    6. In recognizing that APVs have a unique design and may encounter
specialized hazard conditions, the USCG employs a ``systems approach''
to certification for APVs. To meet the USCG requirements, the APVs must
have ``a level of safety equivalent to that required for a vessel of
similar size and service.'' See Navigation and Vessel Inspection
Circular (NVIC) No. 1-01. These requirements are met, ``in part through
a combination of design requirements and operational restrictions'' and
by considering ``the entire vehicle and its equipment as a complete
safety system.'' Id. The RTDI APVs are certified to meet the USCG's
fire safety requirements for T-boats.
    7. From its inception, the Safety Act has included a provision
recognizing that some noncompliances may pose little or no actual
safety risk. The Safety Act exempts manufacturers from their statutory
obligation to provide notice and remedy upon a determination by NHTSA
that a noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety. See 49
U.S.C. 30118(d). In applying this recognition to particular fact
situations, the agency considers whether the noncompliance gives rise
to ``a significantly greater risk than . . . in a compliant vehicle.''
69 FR 19897, 19900 (April 14, 2000). The design and construction of the
APVs addresses the potential risks to passenger safety arising from
fire-related concerns particular to these vehicles. The safety features
present on the APVs provide a level of protection that is, at a
minimum, equivalent to the vehicle safety standards so that granting
the company's petition would be appropriate.
    RTDI concluded by expressing the belief that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential as it relates to motor vehicle safety,
and that its petition to be exempted from providing notification of the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118, and a remedy for the
noncompliance, as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120, should be granted.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, any decision on
this petition only applies to the subject vehicles that RTDI no longer
controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed.
However, any decision on this petition does not relieve vehicle
distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant vehicles under their control after RTDI
notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8)

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. CP06-354-000; CP06-401-000; CP06-423-000]

Rockies Express Pipeline, LLC; TransColorado Gas Transmission
Company; Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice of Availability of
the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Rockies Western Phase
Project

March 16, 2007.

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared a final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the construction and operation of the natural gas pipeline
facilities proposed by Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (Rockies Express),
TransColorado Gas Transmission Company (TransColorado), and Questar
Overthrust Pipeline Company (Overthrust) in the above-referenced
dockets. These individual project sponsors have submitted separate and
distinct proposals to the Commission; however, the FERC views the
proposed facilities as interconnected projects that are necessary
components of a larger, combined natural gas transportation system. As
such, all three project proposals have been included in the final EIS,
and are collectively referred to as the Rockies Western Phase Project
(or the Project). The Project facilities would be located in Colorado,
Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, and New Mexico.
    The final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and the Federal Land
Management and Policy Act. The U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) are federal land management
agencies with lands affected by this proposal and are cooperating
agencies for the development of the EIS. A cooperating agency has
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to potential
environmental impacts associated with the proposal, and is involved in
the NEPA analysis. The Project would cross federal land under the
jurisdiction of the BLM Rawlins, Kemmerer, and Rock Springs Field
Offices. Lands administered by the FWS would also be crossed by the
Project. Under section 185(f) of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the
BLM has the authority to issue Right-of-Way Grants for all affected
federal lands.
    The FERC staff has concluded that if the Project is constructed and
operated in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and each
project sponsor's proposed mitigation, and the staffs' additional
mitigation recommendations, it would have limited adverse environmental
impact and would be an environmentally acceptable action.
    As currently proposed, the Rockies Western Phase Project would
consist of the construction and operation of approximately 795.6 miles
of natural gas pipeline and a total of 237,320 horsepower of new
compression. Following completion of the proposed facilities, the
Project would transport up to 1.5 billion cubic feet of natural gas per
day. Specifically, the final EIS addresses the potential environmental
effects of the construction and operation of the following natural gas
pipeline facilities proposed by Rockies Express, TransColorado, and
Overthrust:

Rockies Express (REX-West Project)

     712.7 miles of 42-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline in
Wyoming, Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri;
     5.3 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline (Echo Springs
Lateral) in Sweetwater and Carbon Counties, Wyoming;
     Five new compressor stations (Cheyenne Compressor Station
in Weld County, Colorado; Julesburg Compressor Station in Sedgwick
County, Colorado; Echo Springs Compressor Station in Sweetwater County,
Wyoming; the Steele City Compressor Station in Gage County, Nebraska;
and Turney Compressor Station in Clinton County, Missouri);
     Four new compressor units at two previously certificated
compressor stations (Meeker Compressor Station in Rio Blanco County,
Colorado and Wamsutter Compressor Station in Sweetwater County,
Wyoming); and
     8 new meter stations, 41 mainline valves, and associated
facilities.

TransColorado (Blanco to Meeker Project)

     392 feet of discharge line and 478 feet of suction line,
1,300 feet of 24-inch-diameter pipeline, and 60 feet of 16-inch-
diameter pipeline in San Juan County, New Mexico;
     Two new compressor stations (Blanco Compression Station in
San Juan County, New Mexico and the Conn Creek Compressor Station in
Garfield County, Colorado);
     Modifications at four existing compressor stations (Mancos
Compressor Station in Montezuma County, Colorado; Redvale Compressor
Station in Montrose County, Colorado; Whitewater Compressor Station in
Mesa County, Colorado, and the Greasewood Compressor Station in Rio
Blanco County, Colorado); and
     One new meter station, one mainline valve, and associated
facilities.

Overthrust (Wamsutter Expansion Project)

     77.2 miles of 36-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline in
Sweetwater County, Wyoming;
     0.1 mile of 20-inch-diameter pipeline (TL-90 Tie-in);
     Two new compressor stations in Wyoming (Roberson
Compressor Station in Lincoln County and Rock Springs Compressor
Station in Sweetwater County); and
     Two new meter stations, three mainline valves, and
associated facilities.
    The final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and
is available for distribution and public inspection at: Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    CD-ROM copies of the final EIS have been mailed to federal, state,
and local agencies; public interest groups; individuals and affected
landowners who requested a copy of the final EIS or provided comments
during scoping; libraries and newspapers in the Project area; and
parties to this proceeding. Hard copy versions of the final EIS were
mailed to those specifically requesting them. A limited number of hard
copies and CD-ROMs are available from the Public Reference Room
identified above.
    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on the

[Docket Number USCG-2015-0777]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Kaskaskia River MM 28 to 29; New Athens, IL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
all waters of the Kaskaskia River, surface to bottom, between mile 28
and 29. This temporary safety zone is necessary to protect persons and
property from potential damage and safety hazards during the New Athens
Drag Boat Race. During the period of enforcement, entry into this
safety zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain
of the Port (COTP) Upper Mississippi River or other designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on
September 19, 2015 and September 20, 2015. This rule will be enforced
with actual notice from 8:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. on September 19, 2015

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule. Providing a full notice period is contrary
to the public interest as it would delay the effectiveness of the
temporary safety zone until after the planned event. Immediate action
is needed to protect vessels and the public from the safety hazards
associated with this high speed race event on the Kaskaskia River in
New Athens, IL. Completing the full NPRM process is unnecessary due to
the fact that there is minimal commercial traffic in the area and that
notices will be made using Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local
Notice to Mariners. Mariners will have the ability to request entrance
into the zone by contacting the COTP during the closure period. These
requests will be handled on a case by case basis. Additionally, a delay
to the effective date for this safety zone would be contrary to public
interest because it would interfere with the planned race and the
contractual obligations related to this event, and it would put the
safety of the spectators and participants of the event at risk.
    For the same reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard
finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective less than
30 days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the
effective date of the rule is contrary to the public interest as it
would delay the effectiveness of the temporary safety zone until after
the planned event.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis and authorities for this rule are found in 33
U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, and 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation no. 0170.1, which
collectively authorize the Coast Guard to establish and define safety
zones.
    The Kentucky Drag Boat Association's annual New Athens Drag Boat
Race is scheduled for September 19 and 20, 2015. The event is listed in
Table 2 of 33 CFR 100.801 number seven for the second weekend in
September; however, the event is being held on the third weekend of
September this year. The race will feature inboard, outboard, and jet-
propelled vessels competing on a closed course on the Kaskaskia River
between miles 28 and 29. The Coast Guard determined that a safety zone
is necessary to keep persons and property clear of any potential
hazards associated with the race.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone from 8:00
a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on September 19, 2015 and September 20, 2015, for the
New Athens Drag Boat Race. The event will take place on the Kaskaskia
River and the safety zone will include all waters of the Kaskaskia
River between miles 28 and 29. The Coast Guard will enforce the
temporary safety zone and may be assisted by other federal, state and
local agencies and the Coast Guard Auxiliary. During the periods of
enforcement, no vessels may transit into, through, or remain within
this Coast Guard safety zone closure area. Deviation from this safety
zone may be requested by contacting the COTP Upper Mississippi River or
other designated representative. They may be contacted on VHF-FM
Channel 16, or through Coast Guard Sector Upper Mississippi at 314-269-
2332. Deviations will be considered on a case-by case basis.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and

executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. This temporary final
rule establishes a safety zone that will be enforced for a limited time
period. During the enforcement period, vessels are prohibited from
entering into or remaining within the safety zone unless specifically
authorized by the COTP Upper Mississippi River or other designated
representative. Based on the location, limited safety zone size, and
short duration of the enforcement period, the impacts on routine
navigation are expected to be minimal. Additionally, notice of this
safety zone or any changes in the planned schedule will be made via
Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local Notices to Mariners. Deviation
from this rule may be requested from the COTP Upper Mississippi River
and will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    This rule will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the Kaskaskia River between mile markers 28 and 29 from 8:00 a.m. to
6:00 p.m. on September 19, 2015 and September 20, 2015.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reason: this
rule will be enforced for a short amount of time each day and
commercial traffic is minimal in this area.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    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 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,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    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 rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
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 rule involves establishment of a temporary safety
zone to protect persons and property from potential hazards associated
with the scheduled New Athens Drag Boat Race taking place on the
Kaskaskia River. This rule is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are 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 rule.

Recent Postings of Broadly Applicable Alternative Test Methods

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces the broadly applicable alternative test
method approval decisions the EPA has made under and in support of New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and the National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) in 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: An electronic copy of each alternative
test method approval document is available on EPA's Web site at http://
www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html. For questions about this notice,
contact Jason M. DeWees, Air Quality Assessment Division, Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards (E143-02), Environmental Protection
Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; telephone number: 919-541-
9724; fax number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
For technical questions about individual alternative test method
decisions, refer to the contact person identified in the individual
approval documents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this Notice Apply to Me?

    This notice will be of interest to entities regulated under 40 CFR
parts 60, 61, and 63, and State, local, Tribal agencies, and EPA
Regional Offices responsible for implementation and enforcement of
regulations under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63.

B. How Can I Get Copies Of this Information?

    You may access copies of the broadly applicable alternative test
method approval documents from the EPA's Web site at http://
www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html.

II. Background

    This notice identifies EPA's broadly applicable alternative test
method approval decisions issued between February 1, 2007, and December
31, 2007, under the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS), 40 part
60, and the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP), 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 (see Table 1). Source owners and
operators may voluntarily use these broadly applicable alternative test
methods. Use of these broadly applicable alternative test methods does
not change the applicable emission standards.
    As explained in a previous Federal Register notice published at 72
FR 4257, 1/30/07, the EPA Administrator has the authority to approve
the use of alternative test methods to comply with requirements under
40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 63. This authority is found in sections
60.8(b)(3), 61.13(h)(1)(ii), and 63.7(e)(2)(ii). Over the years, we
have performed thorough technical reviews of numerous requests for
alternatives and modifications to test methods and procedures. Based on
these experiences, we have found that often these changes or
alternatives would be equally valid and appropriate to apply to other
sources within a particular class, category, or subcategory.
Consequently, we have concluded that where a method modification or a
change or alternative is clearly broadly applicable to a class,
category, or subcategory of sources, it is both more equitable and
efficient to approve its use for all appropriate sources and situations
at the same time. It is important to clarify that alternative methods
are not mandatory but permissive. Sources are not required to employ
such a method but may choose to do so in appropriate cases. By electing
to use an alternative method, the source owner or operator consents to
thereafter demonstrating compliance with applicable requirements based
on the results of the alternative method until approved to do so
otherwise. The criteria for approval and procedures for submission and
review of broadly applicable alternative test methods are outlined at
72 FR 4257, 1/30/07. EPA will continue to announce approvals for
broadly applicable alternative test methods on the EPA's Web site
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html and intends to publish a
notice annually that summarizes approvals for broadly applicable
alternative test methods.
    This notice comprises a summary of six such approval documents
added to our technology transfer network from February 1, 2007, through
December 31, 2007. The alternative test number, the reference method
affected, sources affected, and modification or alternative method
allowed are listed in Table 1 of this notice. Complete copies of these
approval documents can be obtained from the EPA's Web site at http://
www.epa.gov/ttn/emc/approalt.html. If you are aware of reasons why a
particular alternative test method approval that we issue should not be
broadly applicable, we request that you make us aware of the reasons
within 60

days of the Federal Register notice announcing the broad approval, and
we will revisit the broad approval. Any objection to a broadly
applicable alternative test method as well as the resolution of that
objection will be announced on the EPA's Web site http://www.epa.gov/
ttn/emc/approalt.html and in the subsequent Federal Register notice. If
we should decide to retract a broadly applicable test method, we would
continue to grant case-by-case approvals, as appropriate, and would (as
States, local and Tribal agencies and EPA Regional Offices should)
consider the need for an appropriate transition period for users either
to request case-by-case approval or to transition to an approved
method.
