DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 67

[Docket ID FEMA-2008-0020; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1066]

Proposed Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on the proposed Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and proposed BFE modifications for the
communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to
seek general information and comment regarding the proposed regulatory
flood elevations for the reach described by the downstream and upstream
locations in the table below. The BFEs and modified BFEs are a part of
the floodplain management measures that the community is required
either to adopt or show evidence of having in effect in order to
qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, these elevations, once
finalized, will be used by insurance agents, and others to calculate
appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and the
contents in those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before December 7, 2009.

ADDRESSES: The corresponding preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Map
(FIRM) for the proposed BFEs for each community is available for
inspection at the community's map repository. The respective addresses
are listed in the table below.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1066, to
Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief, Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation
Directorate, Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW.,
Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin C. Long, Acting Chief,
Engineering Management Branch, Mitigation Directorate, Federal
Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street, SW., Washington, DC 20472,
(202) 646-2820, or (e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) proposes to make determinations of BFEs and modified BFEs for
each community listed below, in accordance with section 110 of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR
67.4(a).
    These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own, or pursuant to policies established
by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed
elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of
the NFIP and are also used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made
final, and for the contents in these buildings.
    Comments on any aspect of the Flood Insurance Study and FIRM, other
than the proposed BFEs, will be considered. A letter acknowledging
receipt of any comments will not be sent.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This proposed rule is
categorically excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10,
Environmental Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not
been prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review. This
proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under the criteria
of section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as amended.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This proposed rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This proposed rule
meets the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

Mirant Las Vegas, LLC; Notice of Issuance of Order

January 17, 2007.
    Mirant Las Vegas, LLC (Mirant Las Vegas) filed an application for
market-based rate authority, with an accompanying tariff. The proposed
market-based rate tariff provides for the sale of energy and ancillary
services at market-based rates. Mirant Las Vegas also requested waivers
of various Commission regulations. In particular, Mirant Las Vegas
requested that the Commission grant blanket approval under 18 CFR Part
34 of all future issuances of securities and assumptions of liability
by Mirant Las Vegas.
    On December 17, 2002, pursuant to delegated authority, the
Director, Division of Tariffs and Market Development--South, granted
the requests for blanket approval under Part 34. The Director's order
also stated that the Commission would publish a separate notice in the
Federal Register establishing a period of time for the filing of
protests. Accordingly, any person desiring to be heard or to protest
the blanket approvals of issuances of securities or assumptions of
liability by Mirant Las Vegas should file a motion to intervene or
protest with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First

of the Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure. 18 CFR 385.211,
385.214 (2004).
    Notice is hereby given that the deadline for filing motions to
intervene or protest is February 1, 2007.
    Absent a request to be heard in opposition by the deadline above,
Mirant Las Vegas is authorized to issue securities and assume
obligations or liabilities as a guarantor, indorser, surety, or
otherwise in respect of any security of another person; provided that
such issuance or assumption is for some lawful object within the
corporate purposes of Mirant Las Vegas, compatible with the public
interest, and is reasonably necessary or appropriate for such purposes.
    The Commission reserves the right to require a further showing that
neither public nor private interests will be adversely affected by
continued approvals of Mirant Las Vegas' issuance of securities or
assumptions of liability.
    Copies of the full text of the Director's Order are available from
the Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426. The Order may also be viewed on the Commission's

I. The State's Submittal

A. What rule did the State submit?

    Table 1 lists the rule addressed by this proposal with the dates
that it was amended by the BCAQMD and submitted by the California Air
Resources Board (CARB), which is the governor's designee for California
SIP submittals.

                                             Table 1--Submitted Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           Local agency                 Rule No.               Rule title             Amended        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BCAQMD...........................  432...............  Federal New Source Review         3/23/17         6/12/17
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On December 12, 2017, the submittal for the BCAQMD was deemed by
operation of law to meet the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51
Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of this rule?

    On December 22, 2016, the EPA finalized a limited approval and
limited disapproval of Rule 432. 81 FR 93820.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rule?

    Section 110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit regulations
that include a pre-construction permit program for certain new or
modified stationary sources of pollutants, including a permit program
as required by Part D of Title I of the CAA.
    The purpose of District Rule 432 is to implement a federal
preconstruction permit program for new and modified minor sources of
regulated NSR pollutants, and new and modified major sources of
regulated NSR pollutants for which the area is designated
nonattainment. BCAQMD is currently designated as a nonattainment area
for the 2008 8-hr ozone and 2006 24-hr PM2.5 NAAQS. The rule
revision further corrects a deficiency in which the EPA previously
finalized a limited disapproval of Rule 432 because we determined that
the rule does not fully satisfy 40 CFR 51.165(a)(13)'s requirements for
regulation of PM2.5 precursors as it pertains to ammonia. We
present our evaluation under the CAA and the EPA's regulations of the
revised NSR rule submitted by CARB, as identified in Table 1, and
provide our reasoning in general terms below and a more detailed
analysis in our technical support document (TSD), which is available in
the docket for the proposed rulemaking.

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rule?

    The submitted rule must meet the CAA's general requirements for
SIPs and SIP revisions in CAA sections 110(a)(2), 110(l), and 193 as
well as the applicable requirements contained in part D of title I of
the Act (sections 172 and 173) for a nonattainment NSR permit program.
In addition, the submitted rule must contain the applicable regulatory
provisions of 40 CFR 51.160-51.165 and 40 CFR 51.307.
    Among other things, section 110 of the Act requires that SIP rules
be enforceable and provides that the EPA

may not approve a SIP revision if it would interfere with any
applicable requirements concerning attainment and reasonable further
progress or any other requirement of the CAA. In addition, section
110(a)(2) and section 110(l) of the Act require that each SIP or
revision to a SIP submitted by a state must be adopted after reasonable
notice and public hearing.
    Section 110(a)(2)(c) of the Act requires each SIP to include a
permit program to regulate the modification and construction of any
stationary source within the areas covered by the SIP as necessary to
assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. The EPA's regulations
at 40 CFR 51.160-51.164 provide general programmatic requirements to
implement this statutory mandate commonly referred to as the ``minor
NSR'' or ``general NSR'' permit program. These NSR program regulations
impose requirements for SIP approval of state and local programs that
are more general in nature as compared to the specific statutory and
regulatory requirements for nonattainment NSR permitting programs under
Part D of title I of the Act.
    Part D of title I of the Act contains the general requirements for
areas designated nonattainment for a NAAQS (section 172), including
preconstruction permit requirements for new major sources and major
modifications proposing to construct in nonattainment areas (section
173).
    Additionally, 40 CFR 51.165 sets forth the EPA's regulatory
requirements for SIP-approval of a nonattainment NSR permit program.
    The protection of visibility requirements that apply to New Source
Review programs are contained in 40 CFR 51.307. This provision requires
that certain actions be taken in consultation with the local Federal
Land Manager if a new major source or major modification may have an
impact on visibility in any mandatory Class I Federal Area.
    Section 110(l) of the Act prohibits the EPA from approving any SIP
revisions that would interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (RFP) or any
other applicable requirement of the CAA. Section 193 of the Act, which
only applies in nonattainment areas, prohibits the modification of a
SIP-approved control requirement in effect before November 15, 1990, in
any manner unless the modification insures equivalent or greater
emission reductions of such air pollutant.
    The EPA has reviewed the submitted rule in accordance with the rule
evaluation criteria described above. With respect to procedures, based
on our review of the public process documentation included in the June
12, 2017 submittal, we are proposing to approve the submitted rule in
part because we have determined that the BCAQMD has provided sufficient
evidence of public notice and opportunity for comment and public
hearings prior to adoption and submittal of this rule, in accordance
with the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(2) and 110(l). The
amendment of Rule 432 now also includes ammonia as a potential
precursor to PM2.5, thus resolving the limited disapproval
issue from the December 2016 action. Our TSD, which can be found in the
docket for this rule, contains a more detailed discussion of the
approval criteria.

C. Public Comment and Proposed Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA proposes to
fully approve the submitted rule because it fulfills all relevant
requirements. We will accept comments from the public on this proposal
until April 23, 2018. If we take final action to approve the submitted
rule, our final action will incorporate this rule into the federally-
enforceable SIP.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the BCAQMD rule described in Table 1 of this preamble. The
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available
through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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 Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide 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, the 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General

of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action
and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 22, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

[Project No. 14522-000]

FFP Project 132, LLC; Notice of Preliminary Permit Application
Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To Intervene, and
Competing Applications

    On May 20, 2013, FFP Project 132, LLC filed an application for a
preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the Federal Power Act
(FPA), proposing to study the feasibility of the Allegheny Lock and Dam
7 Hydroelectric Project (Allegheny 7 Project or
project) to be located at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' (Corps)
Allegheny Lock and Dam 7 on the Allegheny River in Armstrong
County, Pennsylvania. The sole purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant

the permit holder priority to file a license application during the
permit term. A preliminary permit does not authorize the permit holder
to perform any land-disturbing activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of the following: (1) A new
forebay 160 feet wide by 160 feet long; (2) a new powerhouse 160 feet
wide by 125 feet long; (3) a new tailrace 160 feet wide by 200 feet
long; (4) new concrete retaining walls upstream of the dam spillway and
downstream of the new powerhouse; (5) three horizontal bulb turbine-
generators each rated at 5.5 megawatts; (6) a 50-megavolt-ampere, 4.16-
kilovolt (kV)/69-kV three-phase step-up transformer; (7) a new
substation 40 feet wide by 40 feet long; and (8) a new 69-kV
transmission line approximately 2.3 miles long from the new substation
to an existing substation. The estimated annual generation of the
Allegheny 7 Project would be 89 gigawatt-hours.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2001-9486]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
provides the public notice that on December 20, 2017, the Canadian
National Railway Company (CN) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain provisions
of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part
231. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2001-9486.
    Specifically, CN seeks an extension of an existing waiver granting
relief from 49 CFR 231.6(a)(3)(ii); 231.1(d)(3)(i); 231.6(c)(3)(i); and
231.6(d)(3)(i), as they pertain to the use of two 100-ton, seven-unit
articulated ramp cars numbered CN689200 and CN689201. CN has operated
the ramp cars in accordance to with the terms of the waiver, as
modified in 2007. No physical modifications have been made to the cars
that would require any further waiver of FRA's existing freight car
regulations. Additionally, no incidents of injury to any person, or
damage to any property, have been noted by CN with respect to the use
of the ramp cars. A copy of the petition, as well as any written
communications concerning the petition, is available for review online
at www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey

by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
