ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2015-0104 FRL-9926-48-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Kansas; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.

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

SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the
materials submitted by Kansas that are incorporated by reference (IBR)
into the state implementation plan (SIP). EPA is also notifying the
public of the correction of certain typographical errors within the IBR
table. The regulations affected by this update have been previously
submitted by the state agency and approved by EPA. This update affects
the SIP materials that are available for public inspection at the
National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Regional
Office.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 8, 2015.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40
CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations:
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219; or at http://www.epa.gov/region07/air/rules/fedapprv.htm; and the National Archives and Records Administration. For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call (202)
741-6030, or go to: www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The SIP is a living document which the state revises as necessary
to address the unique air pollution problems in the state. Therefore,
EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new
and/or revised regulations to make them part of the SIP. On May 22,
1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by
reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between
EPA and the Office of Federal Register. The description of the revised
SIP document, IBR procedures and ``Identification of plan'' format are
discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997, Federal Register
document.
    On February 12, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal
Register (64 FR 7091) beginning the new IBR procedure for Kansas. On
November 14, 2003 (68 FR 64532), and on April 8, 2009 (74 FR 15856),
EPA published an update to the IBR material for Kansas.
    In this document, EPA is publishing an updated set of tables
listing the regulatory (i.e., IBR) materials in the Kansas SIP taking
into account the additions, deletions, and revisions to those materials
previously submitted by the state agency and approved by EPA. We are
removing the EPA Headquarters Library from paragraph (b)(3), as IBR
materials are no longer available at this location. In addition, EPA
has found errors in certain entries listed in 40 CFR 52.870(c) and (e),
as amended in the published IBR update actions listed above, and is
correcting them in this document. Table (c) revisions include:
     Updating state effective date, Federal Register citation
and removing outdated text in explanation column for 28-19-200
     removing outdated text in explanation column for 28-19-201
     adding text in EPA approval date column and removing
outdated text in explanation column for 28-19-650
    Table (e) is being revised by:
     Adding text in the explanation column for (7)-(39).

II. EPA Action

    In this action, EPA is doing the following:
    A. Announcing the update to the IBR material as of December 31,
2014;
    B. Revising the entry in paragraph 52.870(b) to reflect the update
and corrections;
    C. Revising certain entries in paragraphs 52.870(c) and (e) as
described above;
    D. Correcting the date format in the ``State effective date'' or
``State submittal date'' and ``EPA approval date'' columns in
paragraphs 52.870(c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical month/day/year
without additional zeros;
    E. Modifying the Federal Register citation in paragraphs 52.870(c),
(d) and (e) to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to
the page number of the regulatory text.
    EPA has determined that this rule falls under the ``good cause''
exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act
(APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to
dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3), which allows
an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the
30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). This
rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter
of law in Federal and approved State programs. Under section 553 of the
APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are ``impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Public comment is
``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' since the
codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR
benefits the public by providing notice of the updated Kansas SIP
compilation.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Kansas
regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).
    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, 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'' under the terms
of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of
the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable
to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual
component of the Kansas SIP compilations previously afforded interested
parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the
United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60
days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this action
to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for judicial
review for this ``Identification of plan'' reorganization update action
for the State of Kansas.

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This document is directed to the public in general. However, you
may be potentially affected by this action if you perform renovations,
repairs, or painting activities on the exterior or interior of P&CBs.
The following list of North American Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may include:
     Building construction (NAICS code 236).
     Specialty trade contractors (NAICS code 238).
     Real estate (NAICS code 531).
     Other general governmental support (NAICS code 921).
    Full descriptions of these NAICS codes and related establishments
are maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau online at https://www.census.gov/eos/www/naics/index.html. If you have any questions
regarding the applicability of this action to a particular entity,
consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Authority

    Title IV of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2681
et seq., was enacted to assist the Federal Government in reducing lead
exposures, particularly those resulting from lead-based paint. Section
403 of TSCA directs EPA to identify lead-based paint hazards, lead-
contaminated dust, and lead-contaminated soil. ``Lead-based paint
hazard'' is defined at TSCA section 401(10).
    Section 402(c)(3) of TCSA directs EPA to revise its lead-based
paint activities regulations (commonly referred to as lead abatement
activities), promulgated under TSCA section 402(a), to apply the
regulations to renovation or remodeling activities in target housing,
public buildings constructed before 1978, and commercial buildings that
create lead-based paint hazards.

III. Overview of the Framework

    The Framework (Ref. 1) describes an approach for identifying and
evaluating hazards created by renovations of P&CBs. The Framework also
describes how the analyses under this approach would be performed, and
presents results of some preliminary analyses that evaluated the impact
of different variables on exposure estimates for young children.
    The Framework also reviews the approach used in 2008 to identify
and evaluate hazards in residences and in child-occupied facilities
(COFs)--a subset of P&CBs, such as day care centers. This approach is
predicated upon defining a hazard as a condition of paint (e.g.,
peeling, cracking, chipping, or otherwise damaged), or a lead level in
dust, soil, paint, etc., that EPA would consider to be a hazard. In the
2008 final Renovation, Repair, and

Painting (RRP) rule (Ref. 2) EPA compared the observed dust-lead levels
from the renovations tested in the Revised Final Report on
Characterization of Dust Lead Levels After Renovation, Repair, and
Painting Activities (Ref. 3) to the dust-lead hazard standards
promulgated in 2001 (Ref. 4). This approach formed the basis for EPA's
determination that all renovation activities that disturb lead-based
paint in target housing and COFs--a subset of P&CBs, such as day care
centers--create lead-based paint hazards.
    Under the approach being considered for the P&CB analysis, however,
hazards would be identified as exposures created by P&CB renovations
that result in adverse health effects. EPA would model specific
interior and exterior P&CB renovation scenarios that represent the
broad range of exposure that can occur in P&CBs in order to evaluate
whether adverse health effects could occur. These scenarios would take
into account the variability in exposure times as well as in building
sizes and configurations when evaluating hazards. For children, EPA
would likely evaluate Intelligence Quotient (IQ) decrements. For
adults, EPA would consider appropriate health effects and their
associated concentration-response functions, such as renal effects,
cardiovascular effects and others. EPA is reviewing currently available
scientific literature to determine if appropriate adverse health
effects for adults can be selected and analyzed.
    The Framework discusses possible considerations of using the
approach for evaluating risk inside P&CBs from renovation activities,
including: Ability to target risks associated with renovations,
quantification of adult health effects and applicability of modeling
results.
    Additionally, the Framework describes how the full analyses might
be done if this approach were to be selected, and presents the results
of preliminary analyses that EPA performed to determine the impact of
different variables on predictions of IQ and blood lead level changes
for young children. The preliminary analysis was deterministic while
any full analysis conducted for the approach would be probabilistic.
Thus, preliminary analysis results are not representative of all
scenarios that could be analyzed. EPA will determine whether these
preliminary results are reproducible once more robust analyses are
performed. Therefore, the preliminary findings reported in the
Framework should not be construed as final and may change.
    Because EPA is providing the information contained in the Framework
and an opportunity for public comment prior to issuing any proposed
rule, the information contained in the Framework is limited. For
instance, the document does not provide significant detail regarding
modeling inputs and results, how EPA might apply the results of any
analyses, or a discussion regarding what magnitude of deleterious
health effect would be considered to be adverse. Further details and
the results of such analyses would be provided for review and comment
in any future proposal. In addition, EPA plans to make public, and
provide for peer review of any such analyses.

IV. Request for Comment

    EPA is requesting public review and comment on all aspects of the
Framework, and particularly related to the following:
     The utility of the approach discussed in the Framework to
assessing risk to human health inside P&CBs as a result of P&CB
renovations.
     Making a hazard finding inside nearby homes and COFs as a
result of P&CB renovations.
     The overview of an analysis approach outlined in the
Framework.

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to add an AD that would apply to GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd Model
GA8-TC320 airplanes. The NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
April 17, 2015 (74 FR 21193), and proposed to revise AD 2015-06-02,
Amendment 39-18120 (80 FR 14810; March 20, 2015).
    The NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products and was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness
information originated by an airworthiness authority of another
country. The MCAI states that:

    A recent review of the engine mount installation on the GA8-TC
320 aircraft has highlighted the omission of engine mount fire seal
washers during the assembly process.
    The current engine mount configuration does not meet the
certification basis for the aircraft, specifically regulation 23.865
of the Federal Aviation Regulations of the United States of America,
where engine mounts located in designated fire zones are required to
be suitably shielded so that they are capable of withstanding the
effects of a fire.
    The Gippsland Aeronautics GA8-TC 320 aircraft require the
installation of an approved steel washer at each of the engine mount
locations to address a potential risk of reduced engine retention
capability in the event of a fire.
    This AD, AD/GA8/8 Amdt 1, amends the applicability statement to
be inclusive of the affected aircraft serial number range.
    The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2014-1123-0007.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM (74 FR 21193, April 17,
2015) or on the determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD 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 (74 FR 21193, April 17, 2015) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (74 FR 21193, April 17, 2015).

Relative Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2014-115,
Issue 1, dated October 6, 2014. The service bulletin describes
procedures for inspecting the orientation of the engine isolator mounts
to verify proper installation, re-installing if necessary, and
installing steel washers on the forward side of each side of the engine
isolator mounts. 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
of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 13 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 5 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost about $10 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

    We determined that 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 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA amends 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 removing Amendment 39-18120 (80 FR
14810, March 20, 2015), and adding the following new AD:

2015-06-02 R1 GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd: Amendment 39-18209; Docket No.
FAA-2014-1123; Directorate Identifier 2014-CE-037-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective August 20,
2015.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD revises AD 2015-06-02, Amendment 39-18120 (80 FR 14810;
March 20, 2015).

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to GA 8 Airvan (Pty) Ltd GA8-TC320 airplanes,
all serial numbers up to and including GA8-TC 320-14-205,
certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 71: Power Plant.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as missing required
engine mount fire seal washers, which could reduce the engine
retention capability in the event of a fire. We are issuing this AD
to revise the applicable airplane serial numbers and to detect and
correct the omission of steel washers at each isolator mount
location, which, if not corrected, could result in reduced engine
retention capability in the event of a fire.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, comply with this AD within the compliance
times specified in paragraphs (f)(1) through (f)(3) of this AD:
    (1) Within the next 300 hours time-in-service after April 24,
2015 (the effective date retained from AD 2015-22-14) or within the
next 12 months after April 24, 2015 (the effective date retained
from AD 2015-22-14), whichever occurs first, inspect the orientation
of the engine isolator mounts to verify that the mounts have been
installed properly following the Accomplishment Instructions in
GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin SB-GA8-2014-115, Issue 1, dated
October 6, 2014.
    (2) Before reinstalling the engine isolator mounts following the
inspection required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further
flight, install a part number J-2218-61 steel washer on the forward
side of each of the four engine isolator mounts, following the
Accomplishment Instructions in GippsAero Mandatory Service Bulletin
