[EPA-R05-RCRA-2015-0555; FRL-9958-05-Region 5]

Illinois: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is granting the State of Illinois Final Authorization of
the changes to its hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). The Agency published a proposed
rule on March 18, 2016, and provided for public comment. EPA received
no comments. No further opportunity for comment will be provided. EPA
has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to
qualify for final authorization.

DATES: The final authorization will be effective on March 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R05-RCRA-2015-0555. All documents in the docket
are listed in the www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the
index, some of the information is not publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure
is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, will be publicly available only in hard copy. Publicly
available docket materials are available either electronically at
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy. You may view and copy Illinois'
application from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the following addresses:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Why are revisions to state programs necessary?

    States which have received final authorization from EPA under RCRA
Section 3006(b) of RCRA, 42 U.S.C. 6926(b), must maintain a hazardous
waste program that is equivalent to, consistent with, and no less
stringent than the federal program. As the federal program changes,
states must change their programs and request EPA to authorize the
changes. Changes to state programs may be necessary when federal or
state statutory or regulatory authority is modified or when certain
other changes occur. Most commonly, states must change their programs
because of changes to EPA's regulations in 40 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) parts 124, 260 through 266, 268, 270, 273 and 279.

B. What decisions have we made in this rule?

    We conclude that Illinois' application to revise its authorized
program meets all of the statutory and regulatory requirements
established by RCRA. Therefore, we are granting Illinois final
authorization to operate its hazardous waste program with the changes
described in the authorization application. Illinois will have
responsibility for permitting treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities (TSDFs) within its borders (except in Indian Country) and
for carrying out the aspects of the RCRA program described in its
revised program application, subject to the limitations of the
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA). New federal
requirements and prohibitions imposed by federal regulations that EPA

promulgates under the authority of HSWA take effect in authorized
states before they are authorized for the requirements. Thus, EPA will
implement those requirements and prohibitions in Illinois, including
issuing permits, until the state is granted authorization to do so.

C. What is the effect of this final rule?

    This final rule requires all facilities in Illinois that are
subject to RCRA to comply with the newly-authorized state requirements
instead of the equivalent Federal requirements in order to comply with
RCRA. Illinois has enforcement responsibilities under its state
hazardous waste program for RCRA violations, but EPA retains its
authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013, and 7003, which include
among others, authorize EPA to:
    1. Do inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses, or
reports;
    2. enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits; and
    3. take enforcement actions regardless of whether the state has
taken its own actions.
    This action will not impose additional requirements on the
regulated community because the regulations that EPA is authorizing in
this action are already in effect, and will not be changed by this
action.

D. Proposed Rule

    On March 18, 2016 (81 FR 14808), EPA proposed to authorize changes
to Illinois' hazardous waste program and opened the decision to public
comment. The Agency received no comments on this proposal. EPA found
Illinois RCRA program to be satisfactory.

E. What RCRA authorization has EPA previously granted Illinois to
implement?

    Illinois initially received final authorization effective January
31, 1986 (51 FR 3778, January 30, 1986) to implement the RCRA hazardous
waste management program. Subsequently the EPA granted authorization
for changes to the Illinois program effective March 5, 1988 (53 FR 126,
January 5, 1988); April 30, 1990 (55 FR 7320, March 1, 1990); June 3,
1991 (56 FR 13595, April 3, 1991); August 15, 1994 (59 FR 30525, June
14, 1994); May 14, 1996, (61 FR 10684, March 15, 1996); and October 4,
1996 (61 FR 40520, August 5, 1996).

F. What changes are we proposing with this action?

    On October 19, 2015, Illinois submitted a final program revision
application, seeking authorization of changes in accordance with 40 CFR
271.21. We have determined that Illinois' hazardous waste program
revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for
Final Authorization. Therefore we are granting Illinois Final
Authorization for the following program changes (a table with the
complete state analogues is provided in the March 18, 2016 proposed
rule):

G. Which revised State rules are different from the Federal rules?

    Illinois has not applied for the federal requirements at 40 CFR
260.21, 264.149, 264.150, 265.149, 265.150, 268.5, 268.6, 268.42(b),
268.44, and 270.3. EPA will continue to implement those requirements.

More Stringent Rules

    In 35 IAC 722.122 and 722.123(a)(4), Illinois requires more
manifest copies than the Federal rules. In 35 IAC 724.213(d)(3)
Illinois adds requirements to the contingent corrective measures plan
found in 40 CFR 264.113(e)(4)(i). In 35 IAC 722.141, 724.175 and
725.175, Illinois requires an annual report instead of the biennial
report required in 40 CFR 262.22, 264.75 and 265.75. Illinois has added
35 IAC 724.156(i) to facilitate State notification. In 35 IAC 725.245,
Illinois does not allow the extension of time to submit the financial
test and corporate guarantee documents to the agency as federally
allowed in 40 CFR 265.145(e)(4). In 35 IAC 725.414, Illinois prohibits
all liquids in landfills; the federal rules allow for exceptions in 40
CFR 265.314(f)(1) and (2). Illinois' 35 IAC Part 729 prohibits disposal
of certain hazardous wastes in landfills. This part has no direct
equivalent Federal part, but is a counterpart of the land ban
regulations at 40 CFR part 268 and the landfill requirements at 40 CFR
parts 264 and 265. In 35 IAC 728.106(e) Illinois requires at least a 90
day notice when a facility wants to make changes to unit design; EPA in
40 CFR 268.6(e) only requires a 30 day notice. In 35 IAC 703.271(e)
Illinois adds some additional cases where a permit must be modified.

Broader in Scope Rules

    In 35 IAC 721.103(g), Illinois does not allow the exemption allowed
in the federal rules at 40 CFR 261.3(g)(4). In 35 IAC 739.146, Illinois
adds subsection (a)(6) which covers special waste (35 IAC Part 808).
This special waste is not regulated in the RCRA subtitle C program. 35
IAC 739.146(a)(6) adds information requirements. The same requirements
are also added in 35 IAC 739.156, 739.165, and 739.174.

Universal Waste Lamps Rules Not Authorized

    Illinois allows Lamp Crushing under its current version of the
Universal Waste Rule (35 IAC 733.105, 733.113(d), 733.133(d), and
733.134(e)), and has not applied for authorization of the Universal
Waste Lamps Rule. In the future, EPA will determine whether to prohibit
crushing of lamps, or decide under what conditions lamp crushing may be
permitted. Until the issue is resolved, no state that allows crushing
may be authorized for the Universal Waste Lamps rule and the Illinois
version of the Universal Waste Lamps Rule is not part of the Illinois
authorized program.

H. Who handles permits after the final authorization takes effect?

    Illinois will issue permits for all the provisions for which it is
authorized and will administer the permits it issues. EPA will continue
to administer any RCRA hazardous waste permits or portions of permits
which EPA issues prior to the effective date of the proposed
authorization until they expire or are terminated. We will not issue
any more new permits or new portions of permits for the provisions
listed in Section F above after the effective date of this
authorization. EPA will continue to implement and issue permits for
HSWA requirements for which Illinois is not yet authorized.

I. How does this action affect Indian country (18 U.S.C. 1151) in
Illinois?

    Illinois is not authorized to carry out its hazardous waste program
in ``Indian Country,'' as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Indian Country
includes:
    1. All lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian Reservations
within or abutting the State of Illinois;
    2. Any land held in trust by the U.S. for an Indian tribe; and
    3. Any other land, whether on or off an Indian reservation that
qualifies as Indian Country.
    Therefore, this action has no effect on Indian Country. EPA retains
the authority to implement and administer the RCRA program on these
lands.

J. How does proportionate share liability affect Illinois' RCRA
program?

    Illinois' RCRA authorities are not impacted by the proportionate
share liability (PSL) provision of the Illinois Environmental
Protection Act, 415 ILCS 5/58.9(a)(1). Section 58.9(a)(1) provides, in
pertinent part:
    ``Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act to the contrary,
. . . in no event may the Agency, the State of Illinois, or any person
bring an action pursuant to this Act or the Groundwater Protection Act
to require any person to conduct remedial action or to seek recovery of
costs for remedial activity conducted by the State of Illinois or any
person beyond the remediation of releases of regulated substances that
may be attributed to being proximately caused by such person's act of
omission or beyond such person's proportionate degree of responsibility
for costs of the remedial action of releases of regulated substances
that were proximately caused or contributed to by 2 or more persons.''
    Section 58.9 is part of Title XVII (Site Remediation Program) of
the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. Title XVII does not apply to
a particular site if `` . . . (ii) the site is a treatment, storage, or
disposal site for which a permit has been issued, or that is subject to
closure requirements under federal or state solid or hazardous waste
laws'' (415 ILCS 5/58.1(a)(2)(ii)). Hazardous waste treatment, storage,
and disposal facilities under Subtitle C of RCRA fall within the
exclusion at Section 58.1(a)(2)(ii). These facilities are subject to
closure and post-closure care requirements under the Act (415 ILCS 5/
22.17) and Illinois program rules that are identical in substance to
federal rules at 40 CFR part 264 (35 Ill. Adm. Code 724). The Illinois
Appellate Court has held that the PSL does not apply to sites that are
outside the scope of Title XVII. People of the State of Illinois v.
State Oil, 822 NE. 2d 876 (Ill. App. 2004). Therefore the exclusion at
Section 58.1(a)(2)(ii) renders Title XVII, including Section 58.9,
inapplicable to sites upon which RCRA regulated facilities are located.
Based on this exclusion, and as indicated by the Illinois Attorney
General in the Attorney General Statement included in the State's
October 19, 2015 final program revision application, the PSL provision
does not impact the adequacy of Illinois' RCRA authorities.

K. What is codification and is EPA codifying Illinois' hazardous waste
program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing the state's statutes and
regulations that comprise the state's authorized hazardous waste
program into the Code of Federal Regulations. We do this by referencing
the authorized state rules in 40 CFR part 272. Illinois' authorized
rules, up to and including those revised June 3, 1991, have previously
been codified through the incorporation-by-reference effective March
31, 1992 (57 FR 3722, January 31, 1992). EPA is not codifying the
authorization of Illinois' changes at this time. We reserve the
amendment of 40 CFR part 272, subpart O, for the codification of
Illinois' program changes until a later date.

L. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This rule only authorizes hazardous waste requirements pursuant to
RCRA 3006 and imposes no requirements other than those imposed by state
law (see Supplementary Information, Section A. Why are Revisions to
State Programs Necessary?). Therefore, this rule complies with
applicable executive orders and statutory provisions as follows:

1. Executive Order 18266: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulations and Regulatory Review

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this rule from its
review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
Executive Order 13563 (76 FR 3821 January 21, 2011).

2. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.).

3. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This rule authorizes state requirements for the purpose of RCRA
3006 and imposes no additional requirements beyond those required by
state law. Accordingly, I certify that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).

4. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state
law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that
required by state law, it 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).

5. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) does not apply
to this rule because it will not have federalism implications (i.e.,
substantial direct effects 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).

6. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000) does not
apply to this rule because it will not have tribal implications (i.e.,
substantial direct effects on one or more Indian tribes, or 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).

7. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant as defined
in Executive Order 12866 and because the EPA does not have reason to
believe the environmental health or safety risks addressed by this
action present a disproportionate risk to children.

8. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001), because it is not a significant regulatory action as defined
in Executive Order 12866.

9. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    EPA approves state programs as long as they meet criteria required
by RCRA, so it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, in
its review of a state program, to require the use of any particular
voluntary consensus standard in place of another standard that meets
the requirements of RCRA. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of
the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply to this rule.

10. Executive Order 12988

    As required by Section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,
February 7, 1996), in issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary
steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential
litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct.

11. Executive Order 12630: Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of
Unanticipated Takings

    EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 18,
1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance
with the Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation
of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings issued under the
executive order.

12. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low Income Populations

    Because this rule proposes authorization of pre-existing state
rules and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by
state law and there are no anticipated significant adverse human health
or environmental effects, the rule is not subject to Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

13. Congressional Review Act

    EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other information
required by the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.) to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to publication in the Federal
Register. A major rule cannot take effect until sixty (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). This final authorization will be
effective March 10, 2017.

    This notice announces that the FAA is considering the release of
the subject airport property at the Willoughby Lost Nation Municipal
Airport, Willoughby, Ohio from federal land covenants, subject to a
reservation for continuing right of flight as well as restrictions on
the released property as required in FAA Order 5190.6B section 22.16.

Page 1 of 13 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES August 29, 2005 MEMORANDUM:

SUBJECT: Dicofol. Refined Post Application Exposure Estimates ( Apples/ Pears, Beans, Cotton, Cucurbits, Grapes, Sod/ Turf Revised).

FROM: Robert Travaglini, Chemist Reregistration Branch 3 Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

THRU: Steven Weiss, Senior Scientist Reregistration Branch 3 Health Effects Division ( 7509C)

TO: Mika Hunter, Chemical Review Manager Reregistration Branch 3 Special Review and Reregistration Division ( 7508C)

DP Barcode: D 321186 PC Code: 010501 This memorandum addresses the error correction response dated August 17, 2005 from Dow Agrosciences pertaining to the HED document of February 2, 2005 ( D 312593) which concerned post application exposures and risk estimates for the insecticide/ miticide dicofol on apples/ pears, beans, cotton, cucurbits, grapes, sod/ turf farms and tomatoes/ peppers. A memorandum which addresses the Dow Agrosciences comments is attached.

This document reflects current HED policy. This memorandum addresses post application exposures and risk estimates for the insecticide/ miticide dicofol, in continuation of the reregistration ( RED) process for this pesticide. Attachments for this document are the appendices for the short and intermediate term postapplication re entry interval ( REI) calculations, which include data inputs and tables.

Background In recent previous registration documents concerning occupational exposure dated July 29, 2004 ( D305650) and December 9, 2004 ( D305651), HED re assessed Re Entry Interval ( REIs) for the following crops and/ or crop groups: citrus, stone fruit and tree nut including pecans based on Special Review and Reregistration Division ( SRRD) request.

Subsequently, SRRD on January 26, 2005 requested HED to evaluate post application REIs for the remaining crops listed on the dicofol label which were not re evaluated in the preceding refined post application assessments at the maximum label application rate and at ½ the maximum label application rate. These crops and/ or crop groups are: apples/ pears; beans; dry & string; beans; cotton; cucurbrits ( cucumbers, eegplants, watermelons etc); grapes; " nonresidential lawns & ornamentals; and tomatoes/ peppers. HED conducted REI calculations for the requested crops and the results are presented in this memorandum.

Note that where HED possessed chemical specific dislodgeable foliar residue ( DFR) data for the various crops, as in the case of cotton and cucurbits, this data was used. However, in the remaining crops, HED relied on default REI calculations ( apples, beans, grapes, turf & tomatoes/ peppers). Additionally, please note that HED does not assess post application exposures for " non residential" lawns or ornamentals but did conduct post application exposures from dicofol use on sod farms.

In November, 1999 HED issued a revised Occupational Exposure Assessment for the miticide dicofol ( D260940). A short term NOAEL of 75 mg/ kg/ day and intermediate term NOAEL of 3 mg/ kg/ day were used as the endpoints in the assessment. Since these endpoints were taken from dermal studies, a dermal absorption factor of 100% was utilized. The submitted DFR studies were deemed in compliance with Agency guidelines, scientifically valid and were utilized in assessing post application exposures. The target MOE for dermal exposures is 100.

The short and intermediate term MOE estimates are listed by crop and/ or crop group and include the data inputs ( i. e. transfer coefficients, application rates etc.). Note that crop groupings and transfer coefficients are from the Science Advisory Council for Exposure: Policy Memo # 003.1 ' Agricultural Transfer Coefficients', August 17, 2000.

Additionally, these estimates employed an adult body weight of 70 kg and standard DFR defaults of: Initial Percent of Application Rate as DFR (%) = 20; Dissipation Rate per day (%) = 10; Initial Percent of Rate as TTR (%) = 5.

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2023-0717]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Find Your Way Home Swim; Detroit River,
Grosse Ile, MI

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation for
certain waters of the Detroit River, Grosse Ile, MI. This action is
necessary to protect safety of life on navigable waters immediately
prior to, during, and after the Find Your Way Home Swim. Entry of
vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited unless specifically
authorized by the Captain of the Port Detroit or a designated
representative.

DATES: This temporary final rule is effective from 5 a.m. through 3:30
p.m. on September 23, 2023.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2023-0717 in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open
Docket Folder on the line associated with this rule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary rule, call or email Tracy Girard, Prevention Department,
Sector Detroit, Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, or email

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

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

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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 because doing so would be impracticable. The
Coast Guard did not receive the final details of this swim event until
there was insufficient time remaining before the event to publish an
NPRM. Thus, delaying the effective date of this rule to wait for a
comment period to run would be impracticable because it would inhibit
the Coast Guard's ability to protect participants, mariners and vessels
from the hazards associated with this event.
    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
this rule would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect
participants, mariners and vessels from the hazards associated with
this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70041(a). The Captain of the Port Detroit (COTP) has determined that
the likely combination of recreation vessels, commercial vessels, and
an unknown number of spectators in close proximity to the swim along
the water poses extra and unusual hazards to public safety and
property. Therefore, the COTP is establishing a special local
regulation around the event location to help minimize risks to safety
of life and property during this event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary special local regulation from 5
a.m. through 3:30 p.m. on September 23, 2023. In light of the
aforementioned hazards, the COTP has determined that a special local
regulation is necessary to protect spectators, vessels, and
participants. The special local regulation will encompass the following
waterway: all waters of the Detroit River encompassed within the
following six points: from 42[deg]05.376' N, 083[deg]09.027' W; a line
drawn south to point 42[deg]02.459' N, 083[deg]08.989' W; a line drawn
south east to point 42[deg]00.039' N, 083[deg]08.417' W; a line drawn
west to point 42[deg]00.024' N, 083[deg]08.501' W; a line drawn north
west to point 42[deg]02.43' N, 083[deg]09.308' W; a line drawn north to
point 42[deg]05.374' N, 083[deg]09.085' W.
    An on-scene representative of the COTP may permit vessels to
transit the area when no swim activity is occurring. The on-scene
representative may be present on any Coast Guard, state, or local law
enforcement vessel assigned to patrol the event. Vessel operators
desiring to transit through the regulated area must contact the Coast
Guard Patrol Commander to obtain permission to do so. The COTP or his
designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel 16
or via telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    The COTP or his designated on-scene representative will notify the
public of the enforcement of this rule by all appropriate means,
including a Broadcast Notice to Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners.

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 protestors.

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, this rule 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 size,
location, duration, and time-of-year of the special local regulation.
Vessel traffic will be able to safely transit around this special local
regulation zone which will impact a small designated area of the
Detroit River from 5 a.m. through 3:30 p.m. on September 23, 2023.
Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue Broadcast Notice to Mariners via
VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the special local

regulation and the rule allows vessels to seek permission to enter the
area.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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
special local regulation may be small entities, for the reasons stated
in section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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
section.
    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 will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(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 a
special local regulation lasting almost eleven hours that will prohibit
entry into a designated area. It is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph L61 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction
Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.

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.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus Model A300 B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; Model A300 B4-
605R and A300 B4-622R airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F
airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by an in-service detection of
cracks in the fuselage skin lap joints. This proposed AD would require
an ultrasonic inspection of certain skin lap joints, and repair if
necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct cracks in
certain skin lap joints. Such cracking could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 14,
2016.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2016-0557, dated March 18, 2016 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Airbus Model A300
B4-603, B4-620, and B4-622 airplanes; Model A300 B4-605R and A300 B4-
622R airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. The MCAI
states:

    Prompted by in-service detection on Airbus A300-600 aeroplanes
of cracks in certain fuselage skin lap joints, several studies were
launched to understand the phenomenon and provide the corrective
actions. More recently, new analyses were performed and the results
identified that a new area has to be inspected at the skin lap joint
below Stringer (STR) 28 at Frame (FR) 72 to FR 76.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in
reduced structure integrity of the aeroplane.
    To address this unsafe condition, Airbus published Service
Bulletin (SB) A300-53-6184 [dated November 12, 2015] to introduce
inspections and applicable corrective actions for the affected
areas.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive Special Detail Inspections (SDI) of the affected skin lap
joint and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable
corrective action(s) [repairs].

    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-2016-
9051.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6184, November 12,
2015. The service information describes procedures for an ultrasonic
inspection of the skin lap joint below stringer 28 at FR 72 to FR 76,
and repair if necessary. 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of these
same type designs.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 29 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Action                        Labor cost            Cost per product      Cost on U.S. operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ultrasonic inspection................  6 work-hours x $85 per   $510 per inspection      $14,790 per inspection
                                        hour = $510 per          cycle.                   cycle.
                                        inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have no way to determine the costs to do any necessary repairs
that would be required based on the results of the proposed inspection.
We have no way of determining the number of airplanes that might need
these repairs.

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

    We 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. 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13   [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2016-9051; Directorate Identifier 2016-NM-
035-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by October 14, 2016.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all Airbus Model A300 B4-603, B4-620, and B4-
622 airplanes; Model A300 B4-605R and A300 B4-622R airplanes; and
Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes, certificated in any
category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by an in-service detection of cracks in the
fuselage skin lap joints. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct cracks in the skin lap joint below stringer 28 at frame (FR)

integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Repetitive Inspections

    Before 29,500 flight cycles since the first flight of the
airplane or within 2,000 flight cycles after the effective date of
this AD, whichever occurs later, do an ultrasonic inspection for
cracks of the skin lap joint below stringer 28 at FR 72 to FR 76 and
do all applicable repairs before further flight, in accordance with
the Accomplishment Instruction of Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-
6184, November 12, 2015, except as required by paragraph (h) of this
AD. Repeat the ultrasonic inspection thereafter at intervals not to
exceed 5,400 flight cycles.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information Specified Paragraph (g) of This
AD

    Where Airbus Service Bulletin A300-53-6184, November 12, 2015,
specifies to contact Airbus for repair instructions, and specifies
that action as ``RC'' (Required for Compliance), this AD requires
repair before further flight using a method approved in accordance
