DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2005-23099]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Renewals; Vision

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA previously announced its decision to renew the
exemptions from the vision requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier
Safety Regulations for 6 individuals. FMCSA has statutory authority to
exempt individuals from the vision requirement if the exemptions
granted will not compromise safety. The Agency has concluded that
granting these exemptions will provide a level of safety that will be
equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety maintained without
the exemptions for these commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Mary D. Gunnels, Director, Medical
Programs,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA, Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Room W64-224, Washington,
DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through
Friday, except Federal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The comment
period ended on April 1, 2010 (75 FR 9484).

Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

Conclusion

    The Agency has not received any adverse evidence on any of these
drivers that indicates that safety is being compromised. Based upon its
evaluation of the 6 renewal applications, FMCSA renews the Federal
vision exemptions for John R. Alger, Gene Bartlett, Jr., Marland L.
Brassfield, Billy R. Jeffries, Gary N. Wilson and William B. Wilson.

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, each renewal
exemption will be valid for 2 years unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if: (1) The person fails to comply with
the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the exemption has
resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained before it was
granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not be consistent
with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and 31315.

    Issued on: April 19, 2010.
Larry W. Minor,
Associate Administrator for Policy and Program Development.

BILLING CODE 4160-01-P


DATE:	August 09, 2016
SUBJECT:	Summary of Requirements in Major Source Foundries NESHAP
            EPA Contract No.:  EPD11084
            EPA Project No.:  4-02
            RTI Project No.:  0213199.004.002
FROM:	Sandra Pierce, RTI International
TO:	Phil Mulrine, EPA/OAQPS/SPPD/MMG

1.	Purpose
This memorandum provides a summary of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries, 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE, amended 2008.
2.	Background
Iron and steel foundries manufacture castings by pouring molten iron or steel melted in a furnace into a mold of a desired shape. The primary processing units of interest at iron and steel foundries because of their potential to generate HAP emissions are 	metal melting furnaces, scrap preheaters, pouring, cooling, and shakeout lines, and mold and core making lines.
2.1 Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP)
The HAP emitted by this source category include metal and organic compounds.
For iron and steel foundries that produce low alloy metal castings, metal HAP emitted are primarily lead and manganese with smaller amounts of cadmium, chromium, mercury and nickel. For iron and steel foundries that produce high alloy metal or stainless steel castings, metal HAP emissions of chromium and nickel can be significant.
Organic HAP emissions include acetophenone, benzene, cumene, dibenzofurans, dioxins, formaldehyde, methanol, naphthalene, phenol, pyrene, toluene, triethylamine, and xylene.  It was estimated that when fully implemented, the final rule would reduce HAP emissions from iron and steel foundries by about 820 tons per year (tpy).
2.2 Summary of Process Emissions
Metal melting furnaces include three types of furnaces used to melt scrap metal at iron and steel foundries: cupolas, electric arc furnaces, and electric induction furnaces. Cupolas are used exclusively to produce molten iron.  Electric induction furnaces are used to produce either molten iron or molten steel, and electric arc furnaces are used almost exclusively to produce molten steel.
All three furnace types (cupolas, electric arc furnaces, and electric induction furnaces) emit PM that is known to contain HAP metals, predominately manganese and lead. It was decided to establish standards for metal HAP emissions. Mercury emissions were also of significant concern, and a work practice standard to limit mercury in metal scrap was established as a result.
Source tests on cupolas have also shown the presence of small amounts of organic HAP including acetophenone, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, and pyrene.
Pouring, cooling, and shakeout (PCS) lines include three major operations:
::	pouring molten metal into molds,
::	allowing the metal to cool and solidify, and
::	removing the castings from the molds.
Molds are made primarily of sand. Pouring molten metal into sand molds produces emissions from the incomplete combustion of the organic chemicals used in chemically bonded molds and cores and also from sea coal and other organic constituents of green sand. These products of incomplete combustion are known to contain benzene, formaldehyde, and toluene. In addition, small amounts of HAP metals are emitted during pouring.  PM was used as a surrogate for metal HAP emissions from pouring.   VOC was chosen as a surrogate for organic HAP emissions from pouring, cooling, and shakeout lines.
Mold and core making lines can emit HAP including cumene, formaldehyde, methanol, naphthalene, phenol, triethylamine, and xylene. In the process of mixing sand and binder chemicals, forming the sand into molds and cores, and curing the resulting shapes, volatile constituents of the binder chemicals evaporate to some extent. Emissions vary widely between different types and formulations of chemical systems; however, for each system the HAP species emitted can be identified. It was decided to establish standards to control HAP emissions from selected types of binder systems.
The source of HAP emissions from the mold and core coating operation is the liquid component of the slurry, which may contain a HAP such as methanol. Alternative liquid formulations that contain no HAP are available. It was concluded that substitution of coating material formulations is possible, and that it is feasible to establish emissions standards in this proposal based on pollution prevention that address liquid HAP used in coating operations.
It is informative to note that emissions of organic HAP from mold and core making and PCS lines are what caused foundries to be major sources of HAP emissions. The emissions of metal HAP, on the other hand, is what caused foundries to be among the top ranked source categories in the risk-weighted urban air toxics analysis.

3.	Subpart EEEEE Emission Standards
Applies to iron and steel foundries that is (or is part of) a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.
3.1 Emission Limits
The emissions limitations in Subpart EEEE are summarized in Table 1. Operating limits are summarized in Table 2.
3.2 Work Practice Standards
3.2.1 Scrap Specifications
For each segregated scrap storage area, bin or pile, either:
 Prepare and operate at all times according to a written certification that the foundry purchases and uses only metal ingots, pig iron, slitter, or other materials that do not include post-consumer automotive body scrap, post-consumer engine blocks, post-consumer oil filters, oily turnings, lead components, mercury switches, plastics, or free organic liquids. Any post-consumer engine blocks, post-consumer oil filters, or oily turnings that are processed and/or cleaned to the extent practicable such that the materials do not include lead components, mercury switches, chlorinated plastics, or free organic liquids can be included in this certification or,

 Prepare and operate at all times according to a written plan for the selection and inspection of iron and steel scrap to minimize, to the extent practicable, the amount of organics and HAP metals in the charge materials used by the iron and steel foundry. This scrap selection and inspection plan is subject to approval by the Administrator. Each plan must include the following information:
 A materials acquisition program to limit organic contaminants [details in 63.7700 (c)(1)(i) and (ii)].

[Docket No. FAA-2021-0610; Project Identifier AD-2021-00126-R]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Brantly Helicopters Industries U.S.A.
Co., Ltd., and Brantly International, Inc., Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Brantly Helicopters Industries U.S.A. Co., Ltd., Model 305
helicopters and Brantly International, Inc., Model B-2, B-2A, and B-2B
helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by a report of a crack in
the tail rotor (T/R) hub. This proposed AD would require repetitive
inspections of the T/R hub and depending on the results, removing the
T/R hub from service. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by September
13, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-0610; Project Identifier
AD-2021-00126-R'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Marc
Belhumeur, Senior Project Engineer, Certification Section, Fort Worth
ACO Branch, Compliance & Airworthiness Division, FAA, 10101 Hillwood
Pkwy., Fort Worth, TX 76177; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA proposes to adopt a new AD for Brantly Helicopters
Industries U.S.A. Co., Ltd., Model 305 helicopters and Brantly
International, Inc., Model B-2, B-2A, and B-2B helicopters with T/R hub
part number (P/N) 161-1 or 2951 installed. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report of a crack in T/R hub P/N 2951. The crack is
considered fatigue cracking caused by corrosion pitting. T/R hub P/N
161-1 is also affected by this unsafe condition due to design
similarity. This condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of
T/R control and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed Brantly Helicopter Service Letter No. 102, dated
July 11, 1974 (SL 102). SL 102 specifies repetitively cleaning and
inspecting the areas where each T/R blade attaching arm extends from
the T/R hub for a crack. SL 102 also specifies repetitively cleaning
and dye penetrant inspecting the radius at the shoulder of each T/R hub
spindle for a crack. If there is a crack, SL 102 specifies replacing
the part and reporting any cracks to Brantly Operators, Inc.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require repetitively cleaning, and using a
10X or higher power magnifying glass, inspecting the areas where each
T/R blade attaching arm extends from the T/R hub for a crack,
corrosion, and pitting, and depending on the results, removing the T/R
hub from service. This proposed AD would also require repetitively
cleaning and dye penetrant inspecting the radius at the shoulder of
each T/R hub spindle for a crack and pitting, and depending on the
results, removing the T/R hub from service.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    SL 102 applies to all Brantly helicopters, whereas this proposed AD
would apply to helicopters with T/R hub P/N 2591 or 161-1 installed.
This proposed AD would require using a 10X or higher power magnifying
glass when inspecting the area where the T/R blade attaching arm
extends from the T/R hub for a crack, corrosion, and pitting, whereas
SL 102 does not specify using a magnifying glass and only specifies
inspecting for a crack in that area. This proposed AD would require dye
penetrant inspecting the radius at the shoulder of each T/R spindle for
a crack and pitting, whereas SL 102 only specifies dye penetrant
inspecting for a crack in those areas. SL102 specifies reporting any
cracks to Brantly Operators, Inc., whereas this proposed AD would not
require reporting any information.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 57 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. Labor rates are estimated at $85 per work-hour. Based on
these numbers, the FAA estimates that operators may incur the following
costs in order to comply with this proposed AD.
    Cleaning and inspecting the T/R hub with a magnifying glass would
take about 1 work-hour for an estimated cost of $85 per helicopter and
$4,845 for the U.S. fleet, per inspection cycle. Cleaning and dye
penetrant inspecting the T/R hub would take about 2 work-hours for an
estimated cost of $170 per helicopter and $9,690 for the U.S. fleet,
per inspection cycle. If required, replacing a T/R hub would take about
0.5 work-hour and parts would cost about $500 for an estimated cost of
$543 per replacement.

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

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

first, and thereafter at intervals not to exceed 100 hours TIS and
at each annual inspection:
    (1) Clean, and using a 10X or higher power magnifying glass,
inspect the areas where each T/R blade attaching arm extends from
the T/R hub for a crack, corrosion, and pitting. If there is a
crack, corrosion, or pitting, before further flight, remove the T/R
hub from service.
    (2) Clean and dye penetrant inspect the radius at the shoulder
of each T/R hub spindle for a crack and pitting. If there is a crack
or pitting, before further flight, remove the T/R hub from service.

(h) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Fort Worth ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority
