October Update: Triad Air Quality News News from the Triad Air Quality Early Action Compact ( EAC).

News Brief: Final Results of DAQ Air Quality Modeling EAC Background Information Public Meetings Next EAC Stakeholder Meeting News Brief: Final Results of DAQ Air Quality Modeling for the Region Back to top At the October 6, 2003 EAC meeting, Sheila Holman, Chief of the Planning Section, NC Division of Air Quality, presented the final results of air quality modeling that forecasts probable ozone reductions for the Triad region through December 2007. Four weather related ozone episodes totaling 16 days were used in the model. Final results show that all but one of the Triad region's nine Ozone Monitors will be attaining by 2007. The Coolemee monitor in southeast Davie County is the only monitor projected to be in non attainment in 2007. While air quality at this monitoring site is affected by Charlotte region emissions, the model shows that for at least 6 of the 16 days, emissions sources originated in the Piedmont Triad. Monitors at Hattie Avenue and Union Cross measure just below the threshold for non attainment.

With three monitors so near the threshold for attainment, additional local efforts are needed to ensure that all monitoring sites will be in compliance by 2007.

DAQ final modeling results confirm that Triad ozone reduction strategies should focus on mobile source emissions ( i. e., on and offroad vehicles) to bring all air quality monitors into compliance with EPA s 8 hour ozone standard before December, 2007.

Since the 1970' s there had been great gains in emissions reductions through vehicular emissions controls, more fuel efficient vehicles and inspection and maintenance programs. However, past gains have been offset by continued population growth, urban sprawl, increased vehicle miles traveled, increased commuting patterns across counties, and the increase of motor vehicles on the road.

North Carolina will experience tremendous reductions in the ozone precursor emission nitrous oxide ( NoX) through 2007 that will not likely be experienced again. Our ability to maintain ozone attainment as the Triad continues to grow and develop will depend on how the region chooses to grow overtime. The Triad must seek to aggressively change its growth patterns and be strategic in planning and development Click here to view more information on the Triad Air Quality EAC: PTCOG EAC News and NWPCOG EAC web page Background: Back to top Piedmont Triad Region Exceeds EPA s 8 hour Standard for Ozone Levels The NC Division of Air Quality has recommended to EPA that the counties of Alamance, Guilford, Forsyth, and Davidson, and portions of Davie, Randolph, Caswell and Rockingham counties be designated as areas exceeding EPA's eight hour standard for ozone levels. However, EPA guidance is for whole county designations ( i. e., any county with a violating ozone monitor and nearby contributing areas need to be designated as non attainment)

The Triad Early Action Compact represents commitments by local governments in this region, in partnership with the state and EPA, to adopt local air quality strategies to achieve clean air earlier than the schedule imposed by the federal Clean Air Act. EAC resolutions were adopted by county boards of commissioners in Alamance, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Forsyth, Guilford, Randolph, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry and Yadkin counties and major municipalities in December 2002. Through participation in the EAC the eleven county Piedmont Triad region will defer the effective date of non attainment designation from December 31, 2004 to December 31, 2007.

Designation as a non attainment area will have substantial negative impacts on economic development Lengthy permitting requirements for industry in non attainment areas could influence their decision whether to locate new operations or expand existing operations in non attainment areas.

Industrial recruitment difficult.

New industries are subject to review and limits on their emissions Non attainment means significant loss of federal transportation funding Upcoming Public Meetings: Back to top Below is a list of upcoming briefings and public input sessions sponsored by the Piedmont Triad ( North Carolina) Early Action Compact on strategies being developed to help this region attain EPA's 8 hour ozone standard.

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2017-0474]
RIN 1625-AA09

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River, Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary interim rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that
governs the Morrison Bridge across the Willamette River, mile 12.8, at
Portland, Oregon. The temporary interim rule is necessary to
accommodate Multnomah County's (bridge owner) unexpected extension of
time required to replace the bridge decking. This temporary rule is
necessary due to the amount of days requested by the bridge owner. The
active deviation expires at the 180th day, and the Coast Guard does not
approve back-to-back deviations.

DATES: This temporary interim rule is effective from 7 p.m. on
September 27, 2017, through 7 p.m. on November 12, 2017.
    Comments and related material must reach the Coast Guard on or
before October 26, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments or view documents mentioned in this
preamble as being available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-2017-0474 in the ``SEARCH'' box and
click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line associated
with this rulemaking.
    See the ``Public Participation and Request for Comments'' portion
of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below for instructions on
submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this interim
rule, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge Administrator,
Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
OMB Office of Management and Budget
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On June 23, 2016, we published a temporary deviation entitled
Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River, Portland, OR, in the
Federal Register (81 FR 40813), where we did not request comments.
However, we conducted a public outreach in May 2016 and did not receive
any objections. No complaints have been submitted

during the current temporary deviation's operation.
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim 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), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is
impracticable. We must modify the operation schedule of the bridge by
September 27, 2017 to allow Multnomah County to replace the bridge
decking, but we lack sufficient time to provide a reasonable comment
period and then consider those comments before issuing the
modification.
    We are issuing this rule and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), and for the
reasons stated above, the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for
making it effective in less than 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 33 U.S.C. 499.
The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that governs the
Morrison Bridge across the Willamette River, mile 12.8, at Portland,
Oregon. The Morrison Bridge is a double bascule bridge. When the
bascule span is in the closed-to-navigation position, the bridge
provides 69 feet of vertical clearance, and in the open position
provides unlimited vertical clearance. The normal operating schedule
for the Morrison Bridge is in accordance with 33 CFR 117.897(c)(3)(iv).
Multnomah County, the bridge owner, contacted us requesting additional
time to deviate from the operating rule due to delays in receiving
replacement parts, and needing to fabricate parts on site.
    Multnomah County requested that the Morrison Bridge be allowed to
only open half the span, 92 feet, as opposed to a full opening, 185
feet, to accommodate extra time to replace bridge decking. The County
has also requested to reduce the vertical clearance of the non-opening
side of the span with scaffolding erected 10 feet below the lower
bridge cord for a containment system, and to require at least a two
hour advance notice for an opening. Waterway usage on this part of the
Willamette River includes vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge
to small pleasure craft. Vessels able to pass through the Morrison
Bridge in the closed position may do so at anytime. A tug will be on
site to assist vessels through the single leaf span opening upon
request. The bridge will be able to open half the span for emergencies
with a two hour notice, and there is no immediate alternate route for
vessels to pass.

IV. Discussion of the Temporary Interim Rule

    The Coast Guard has issued a temporary interim rule from the
operating schedule that governs the Morrison Bridge across the
Willamette River, mile 12.8, at Portland, Oregon. The rule is necessary
to accommodate Multnomah County's replacement of the bridge decking.
This rule allows the bridge to only open half of the span, single leaf,
to allow for the replacement of bridge decking. The rule also allows
the vertical clearance to be reduced due to the project's containment
system.

V. Regulatory Analyses

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

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771. This regulatory action
determination is based on the ability that vessels can still transit
under the bridge, or give advanced notice for a half opening.

B. 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 term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section IV.A
above, this interim rule would not have a significant economic impact
on any vessel owner or operator. Multnomah County has taken precaution
to provide a tug to assist vessels, if needed, so businesses will not
suffer any impacts. Furthermore, half the span can be opened to vessels
that require an opening.
    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.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    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 have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism

principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, 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.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have made a
determination that this action is one of a category of actions which do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or
procedures for drawbridges. This action is categorically excluded from
further review, under figure 2-1, paragraph (32)(e), of the
Instruction.
    We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery
of a significant environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

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

VI. Public Participation and Request for Comments

    We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking,
and will consider all comments and material received during the comment
period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking. If
you submit a comment, please include the docket number for this
rulemaking, indicate the specific section of this document to which
each comment applies, and provide a reason for each suggestion or
recommendation.
    We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking
Portal at http://www.regulations.gov. If your material cannot be
submitted using http://www.regulations.gov, contact the person in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this document for alternate
instructions.
    We accept anonymous comments. All comments received will be posted
without change to http://www.regulations.gov and will include any
personal information you have provided. For more about privacy and the
docket, visit http://www.regulations.gov/privacyNotice.
    Documents mentioned in this Temporary Interim Rule as being

39-19452; AD 2018-20-18]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report of uncommanded deployment of the ground spoilers
when the power levers were advanced for takeoff, which was caused by
faulty switches in the power lever module. This AD requires revising
the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable. We are issuing
this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 20, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 20,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.,
Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on May 25, 2108 (83 FR 24248). The NPRM was prompted by a
report of uncommanded deployment of the ground spoilers when the power
levers were advanced for takeoff, which was caused by faulty switches
in the power lever module. The NPRM proposed to require revising the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable.
    We are issuing this AD to address faulty switches in the power
lever module, which could result in uncommanded deployment of the
ground spoilers and a possible runway excursion.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD

CF-2017-35, dated November 29, 2017 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-
400 series airplanes. The MCAI states:

    There has been an incident of uncommanded deployment of the
ground spoilers when the power levers were advanced for take-off.
The warning horn sounded and the pilot rejected the take-off. The
subsequent investigation determined the root cause of the spoiler
deployment was faulty switches in the power lever module. An
uncommanded deployment of the ground spoilers may lead to a runway
excursion.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the incorporation of a new
Certification Maintenance Requirement (CMR) task to check the ground
spoiler switches in the power lever module.

    Required actions include revising the maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on
the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2018-0449.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comment received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response.

Request To Revise Requirements Related to Temporary Revision (TR)

    Horizon Air requested that paragraph (g) of the proposed AD be
revised to refer to Bombardier Certification Maintenance Requirements
(CMR) Task 276000-110 of Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) TR ALI-0185, dated
March 19, 2018. Horizon Air noted that TR ALI-0185, replaced TR ALI-
0173, dated March 14, 2017, which was specified in the proposed AD.
    Horizon Air also requested that we include a statement that, ``When
this temporary revision has been included in general revisions of the
PSM [product support manual], the general revisions may be inserted in
the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, provided the
relevant information in the general revision is identical to that in
[Q400 Dash 8] (Bombardier) TR ALI-0185 [, dated March 19, 2018].''
    We agree to clarify. Paragraph (g) of this AD requires operators to
incorporate ``the information specified in'' CMR Task 276000-110 of
Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) TR ALI-0173, dated March 14, 2017. Task 27600-
110 is the same in both TR ALI-0173, dated March 14, 2017; and TR ALI-
0185, dated March 19, 2018. Therefore, if operators incorporate TR ALI-
0185, dated March 19, 2018, into the maintenance or inspection program,
as applicable, they are in compliance with paragraph (g) of this AD
(i.e., since the information specified in TR ALI-0185, dated March 19,
2018, contains the same information as TR ALI-0173, dated March 14,
2017, by incorporating TR ALI-0185, dated March 19, 2018, the operator
is complying with the requirement to incorporate the information
specified in TR ALI-0173, dated March 14, 2017). Similarly, if
operators incorporate the PSM into the maintenance or inspection
program, as applicable, they are in compliance with paragraph (g) of
this AD. We have not changed this AD in this regard.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule as proposed, except for minor editorial changes. We
have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier has issued Q400 Dash 8 (Bombardier) Temporary Revision
ALI-0173, dated March 14, 2017. This service information describes CMR
Task 276000-110, ``Operational Check of the Ground Spoiler Switches in
the Power Lever Module.'' 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

    We estimate that this AD affects 86 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:
    We have determined that revising the maintenance or inspection
program takes an average of 90 work-hours per operator, although we
recognize that this number may vary from operator to operator. In the
past, we have estimated that this action takes 1 work-hour per
airplane. Since operators incorporate maintenance or inspection program
changes for their affected fleet(s), we have determined that a per-
operator estimate is more accurate than a per-airplane estimate.
Therefore, we estimate the total cost per operator to be $7,650 (90
work-hours x $85 per work-hour).

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.

[EPA-R05-OAR-2022-0728; FRL-10255-01-R5]

Air Plan Approval; Michigan; Part 4 Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to Michigan's State Implementation Plan (SIP). On
August 17, 2022, The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes,
and Energy (EGLE) submitted changes to Michigan's Air Pollution Control
Rules, Emissions Limitations and Prohibitions--Sulfur Bearing
Compounds. The revision includes administrative changes to existing
rules, updates material adopted by reference, and removes a definition.

19.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

I. What did Michigan submit?

    On August 17, 2022, Michigan EGLE submitted revisions to Michigan's
Air Pollution Control Rules in Part 4. Specifically, the state
requested EPA to act on the following revisions to Part 4: R336.1401a
(Rule 401a)--``Definitions''; R336.1401 (Rule 401)--``Emission of
sulfur dioxide from power plants''; R336.1402 (Rule 402)--``Emission of
SO2 from fuel-burning equipment at a stationary source other
than power plants''; and R336.1404 (Rule 404)--``Emission of
SO2 and sulfuric acid mist from sulfuric acid plants''.
    Michigan EGLE provided the public an opportunity to comment on Part
4 revisions during a 30-day public comment period beginning on June 15,
2019, and at a public hearing held on July 1, 2019. No comments were
received.

II. What is EPA's analysis of Michigan's submission?

    In existing rules 401, 402, and 404, there are three citations to
the American Society for Testing and Material standards (ASTM) and
compliance test methods in 40 CFR part 60, adopted by reference in
R336.1802a and R336.2004(1)(l), respectively. To achieve consistency
between the SIP and Michigan's rules, Michigan EGLE has consolidated
all adoption by reference material in Michigan's Air Pollution Control
Rule in Chapter 336, Part 9, R336.1902, ``Adoption of

standards by reference''. Thus, for rules 401, 402, and 404, EGLE
revised the location of material adopted by reference to be addressed
in R336.1902.
    The existing rule 401a currently includes a definition for the term
``used oil'' that was approved by EPA in 2015. (80 FR 21183, April 17,
2015). However, Michigan EGLE later revised Michigan's Air Pollution
Control Rule in Chapter 336, Part 1, ``Definitions'' to more
appropriately include the definition of used oil in the general air
provisions rule at R336.1121(c) to reference ``used oil'' for all the
air rules. (84 FR 8809, April 11, 2019). Michigan EGLE eliminated the
redundant ``used oil'' definition by removing the definition from Part
4.
    Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 110(l) prohibits EPA from approving a
SIP revision if it would interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment, reasonable further progress, or any other CAA
requirement. EPA concurs with Michigan EGLE's 110(l) analysis that the
revisions to the Part 4 rules improve its clarity and do not interfere
with any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA. Further, the revision will not
increase any emissions to the atmosphere because they do not impact the
applicability of any source or emission limits.
    EPA finds the revision to Part 4 acceptable and thus, proposes
approval into the Michigan SIP.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to Michigan's Part 4 rule
into the Michigan SIP, as submitted on August 17, 2022. The
administrative changes to Part 4 will not increase any emissions to the
atmosphere because they do not impact the applicability of any source
or any emission limits.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, 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, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference Michigan rules R336.1401a, R336.1401, R336.1402, and
R336.1404, effective October 24, 2019, as discussed in Section I of
this preamble. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 5
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide 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).

Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is considering an amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR Part 71), which would revise the Class E airspace
at the McGrath Airport, in McGrath, AK. The intended effect of this
proposal is to revise Class E airspace upward, from 700 ft. and 1,200
ft. above the surface, to contain Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at McGrath Airport, AK.
    The FAA Instrument Flight Procedures Production and Maintenance
Branch has amended five SIAPs and a DP, and developed one new SIAP for
the McGrath Airport. The amended approaches are (1) the High Very High
Frequency Omni-directional Range (VOR)/Distance Measuring Equipment
(DME) or Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) Runway (RWY) 16, Amendment
(Amdt) 1, (2) the VOR/DME or TACAN RWY 16, Amdt 1, (3) the VOR A, Amdt
8, (4) the VOR/DME C, Amdt 1 and (5) the Localizer (LOC)/DME RWY 16,
Amdt 3. The new approach is the Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) RWY 16, Original (Orig). Textual DP's are
unnamed and are published in the front of the U.S. Terminal Procedures
for Alaska. Class E controlled airspace extending upward, from 700 ft.
and 1,200 ft. above the surface, in the McGrath Airport area would be
revised by this action. The proposed airspace is sufficient in size to
contain aircraft executing the instrument procedures at the McGrath
Airport, McGrath, AK.
    The area would be depicted on aeronautical charts for pilot
reference. The coordinates for this airspace docket are based on North
American Datum 83. The Class E airspace areas designated as surface
areas are published in paragraph 6002 in FAA Order 7400.9R, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace areas designated as 700/1200 foot
transition areas are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9R,
Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 15, 2007, and
effective September 15, 2007, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace designations listed in this document
would be published subsequently in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it proposes to create Class E airspace sufficient in size to contain
aircraft executing instrument procedures at McGrath Airport and
represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and efficiently use
the navigable airspace.

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0669; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-350-AD;
Amendment 39-16166; AD 2010-01-08]

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700,
and -800 Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes. This AD requires an
inspection of the free flange, vertical web, and radius between the
free flange and vertical web of the lower stringers of the wing center
section for drill starts, and applicable related investigative and
corrective actions. This AD results from drill starts being found on
the free flange of the lower stringers of the wing center section
during a quality assurance inspection at the final assembly plant. We
are issuing this AD to prevent cracks from propagating from drill
starts in the free flange, vertical web, and radius between the free
flange and vertical web of the lower stringers of the wing center
section lower stringers, which could cause a loss of structural
integrity of the wing center section and may result in a fuel leak.

DATES: This AD is effective February 16, 2010.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of February 16,
2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to
amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that
would apply to certain Model 737-600, -700, and -800 series airplanes.
That supplemental NPRM was published in the Federal Register on March
6, 2009 (74 FR 9776). That supplemental NPRM proposed to require an
inspection of the free flange, vertical web, and radius between the
free flange and vertical web of the lower stringers of the wing center
section for drill starts, and applicable related investigative and
corrective actions.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received from the commenters.

Support for the Supplemental NPRM

    Air Transport Association (ATA), on behalf of its member,
Continental Airlines (CAL), expresses support for the compliance time.

Request To Align NPRMs Affecting Areas Under Enhanced Airworthiness
Program for Airplane Systems (EAPAS) Regulations or Maintenance
Planning Documents

    ATA, on behalf of its member CAL, notes that Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 73-57A1294, dated April 23, 2007, was issued before
airworthiness limitations (AWLs) 28-AWL-11 and 28-AWL-12 were
published. CAL points out that the service bulletin states to contact
Boeing for repair instructions for crack findings to comply with the
requirements of the supplemental NPRM. However, CAL states the
supplemental NPRM and the service bulletin do not address how to comply
with AWLs 28-AWL-11 and 28-AWL-12 of Section 9 of the Boeing 737-600/
700/800/900 MPD Document D626A001-CMR if the repair instructions
require installing fasteners into the fuel tank. CAL notes that FAA
approval of the MPD AWLs can only be granted by the Manager, Seattle
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.
    We infer that CAL is asking that we revise the supplemental NPRM to
clarify whether the corrective actions are compliant with EAPAS
regulations or MPD AWLs. We partially agree with CAL's request. We
agree that operators benefit from notification that certain repairs
covered by this AD are also potentially subject to compliance with the
requirements of AD 2008-10-10, Amendment 39-15516 (73 FR 25986, May 8,
2008). AD 2008-10-10 mandates AWLs 28-AWL-11 and 28-AWL-12 and requires
that any new penetration into the fuel tank be approved for lightning
considerations by the FAA, Seattle ACO.
    We disagree that a change to the supplemental NPRM is necessary. On
April 15, 2009, Boeing issued MultiOperator Message (MOM) MOM-09-0178-
01B, applicable to the following ADs:
     AD 2008-04-11, Amendment 39-15383 (73 FR 9666, February
22, 2008)
     AD 2008-04-10, Amendment 39-15382 (73 FR 9668, February
22, 2008)
     AD 2008-10-09, Amendment 39-15515 (73 FR 25970, May 8,
2008)
     AD 2008-10-10, Amendment 39-15516 (73 FR 25986, May 8,
2008)
     AD 2008-10-07, Amendment 39-15513 (73 FR 25977, May 8,
2008)
     AD 2008-10-06, Amendment 39-15512 (73 FR 25990, May 8,
2008)
     AD 2008-10-11, Amendment 39-15517 (73 FR 25974, May 8,
2008)
     AD 2008-11-01, Amendment 39-15523 (73 FR 29414, May 21,
2008)
     AD 2008-11-13, Amendment 39-15536 (73 FR 30737, May 29,
2008)

This MOM notifies operators that the FAA issued an alternative method
of compliance (AMOC) to the same ADs. This AMOC states:

    Any alteration, design change, or repair involving new
penetrations of the fuel tanks (such as a repair with fasteners,
adding a bracket, bulkhead fitting or equipment) or change to the
design features of the existing equipment penetrations (such as fuel
measuring sticks, sump drain valves, fueling manifold, fuel
temperature sensor, and motor operated fuel shutoff valve adapter
plate) requires approval by the FAA Seattle ACO or an Authorized
Representative (AR) of the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Delegated
Compliance Organization (BDCO).
    However, any alteration, design change or repair involving new
penetrations of the fuel tanks, accomplished in accordance with an
FAA-approved Boeing Structural Repair Manual (SRM) or Boeing Service
Bulletin is not subject to this requirement for additional approval.

    We consider that this AMOC and the subsequent MOM supplied by
Boeing is sufficient notification and clarification

because the MOM states that certain Boeing service bulletins do not
require additional approval in accordance with AD 2008-10-10. We have
not changed the AD in regard to this issue.

Request To Allow ARs To Approve Repairs

    ATA, on behalf of its member CAL, requests that we revise the
supplemental NPRM to grant delegated authority to Boeing to approve
repairs mandated by this AD and AWLs 28-AWL-11 and 28-AWL-12 of Section
9 of the Boeing 737-600/700/800/900 MPD Document D626A001-CMR provided
that only the fuel tank structure is affected, while the structural
repair does not disrupt the fuel tank system. CAL states that it is
concerned with complying with the MPD since Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1294, dated April 23, 2007, was written before AWLs 28-
AWL-11 and 28-AWL-12. CAL notes that the service bulletin states to
contact Boeing for repair instruction for crack findings. However, CAL
notes that this AD and the service bulletin do not reference the AWLs
in the event that Boeing repair instructions require fastener
installation into the fuel tank. CAL points out that FAA approval to
reference the MPD AWLs can be granted only by the Manager, Seattle ACO.
    We disagree with the request. We have approved an AMOC that allows
designated ARs of the BDCO to approve fuel tank penetration for
lightning considerations for several EAPAS rules. That AMOC is written
against the specific AD requiring lightning approvals, which is not
part of this AD. We have not changed the final rule in regard to this
issue.

Explanation of Change Made to This AD

    We have revised this AD to identify the correct legal name of the
manufacturer as published in the most recent type certificate data
sheet for the affected airplane models.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the AD with the changes described previously. We also determined that
these changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 17 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it would take 7 work-hours per product to comply
with this AD. The average labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on
these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to
be $9,520, or $560 per product.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 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.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

    (g) Before the accumulation of 18,000 total flight cycles, or
within 90 days after the effective date of this AD, whichever occurs
later, do a detailed inspection of the free flange, vertical web,
and radius between the free flange and vertical web of the lower
stringers of the wing center section for any drill start, and do all
applicable related investigative and corrective actions, by
accomplishing all the applicable actions specified in paragraphs
3.B.2 and 3.B.4 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert
Service Bulletin 737-57A1294, dated April 23, 2007; except as
provided in paragraph (h) of this AD. The applicable related
investigative and corrective actions must be done before further
flight.
    (h) If any crack is found during any inspection required by
paragraph (g) of this AD, and Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-
57A1294, dated April 23, 2007, specifies to

contact Boeing for appropriate action: Before further flight, repair
the crack using a method approved in accordance with the procedures
specified in paragraph (i) of this AD.
