ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9658-7]

Notification of Two Public Teleconferences of the Science
Advisory Board Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science
Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office announces two public teleconferences
of the SAB Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel to discuss the Panel's draft
report on EPA's draft Accounting Framework for Biogenic CO2 Emissions
from Stationary Sources (September 2011).

DATES: The public teleconferences will be held on May 23, 2012 from 1
p.m. to 4 p.m. and May 29, 2012 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Daylight
Time).

ADDRESSES: The public teleconferences will take place by phone only.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Any member of the public wishing further
information regarding these public teleconferences may contact Dr.
Holly Stallworth, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office,
by telephone/voice mail at<PHONE_NUMBER> or via email at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>General information concerning the EPA
Science Advisory Board can be found at the EPA SAB Web site at http://www.epa.gov/sab.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background: The SAB was established pursuant to the Environmental
Research, Development, and Demonstration Authorization Act (ERDAA)
codified at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide independent scientific and
technical peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations to the
EPA Administrator on the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal
Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the
Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related
regulations. Pursuant to FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby given
that the SAB Biogenic Carbon Emissions Panel will hold two public
teleconferences to discuss the Panel's draft report on EPA's draft
Accounting Framework for Biogenic CO2 Emissions from Stationary Sources
(September 2011). The SAB will comply with the provisions of FACA and
all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies.
    EPA's Office of Atmospheric Programs (OAP) in EPA's Office of Air
and Radiation requested SAB review of EPA's draft accounting framework.
As noticed in 76 FR 61100-61101, the SAB Biogenic Carbon Emissions
Panel held a public meeting on October 25-27, 2011 to review and
discuss its advice on EPA's draft Accounting Framework for Biogenic CO2
Emissions from Stationary Sources (September 2011). As noticed in 76 FR
80368-80369, the Panel discussed its draft reports by teleconferences
on January 27, 2012 and March 20, 2012. The Panel will continue its
discussion of a revised draft report during the teleconferences on May
23, 2012 and May 29, 2012.
    Availability of the Meeting Materials: An agenda and draft report
will be posted on the SAB Web site http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activities/Accounting%20for%20biogenic%20CO2?OpenDocument prior to the May 23,
2012 teleconference. EPA's review document, charge to the Panel and
other background materials are also available at the URL above. For
questions concerning EPA's draft Accounting Framework for Biogenic CO2
Emissions from Stationary Sources (September 2011), please contact Dr.
Jennifer Jenkins, Climate Change Division, at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<PHONE_NUMBER> or Sara Ohrel at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Procedures for Providing Public Input: Public comment for
consideration by EPA's federal advisory committees and panels has a
different purpose from public comment provided to EPA program offices.
Therefore, the process for submitting comments to a federal advisory
committee is different from the process used to submit comments to an
EPA program office. Federal advisory committees and panels, including
scientific advisory committees, provide independent advice to EPA.
Members of the public can submit relevant comments for a federal
advisory committee to consider pertaining to charge to the panel, EPA
review documents, or this advisory activity. Input from the public to
the SAB will have the most impact if it consists of comments that
provide specific scientific or technical information or analysis for
the SAB panel to consider or if it relates to the clarity or accuracy
of the technical information.
    Oral Statements: In general, individuals or groups requesting an
oral presentation at these teleconferences will be limited to three
minutes per speaker. Interested parties should contact Dr. Holly
Stallworth, DFO, in writing (preferably via email), at the contact
information noted above, by May 18, 2012 to be placed on the list of
public speakers for the May 23, 2012 teleconference and by May 25, 2012
to be placed on the list of speakers for the May 29, 2012
teleconference. Written Statements: Written statements should be
received in the SAB Staff Office by May 18, 2012 to be considered for
the May 23, 2012 teleconference and by May 25, 2012 to be considered
for the May 29, 2012 teleconference. Written statements should be
supplied to the DFO in electronic format via email (acceptable file
formats: Adobe Acrobat PDF, WordPerfect, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, or
Rich Text files in IBM-PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format). It is the SAB
Staff Office general policy to post written comments on the Web page
for the advisory meeting or teleconference. Submitters are requested to
provide an unsigned version of each document because the SAB Staff
Office does not publish documents with signatures on its Web sites.
Members of the public should be aware that their personal contact
information, if included in any written comments, may be posted to the
SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will not be posted without explicit
permission of the copyright holder.
    Accessibility: For information on access or services for
individuals with disabilities, please contact Dr. Holly Stallworth at
the phone number or email address noted above, preferably at least ten
days prior to the meeting, to give EPA as much time as possible to
process your request.

    Dated: April 4, 2012.
Thomas H. Brennan,
Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board Staff Office.

    Title: NESHAP for the Printing and Publishing Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1739.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0335.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (NESHAP) for
the Printing and Publishing Industry were promulgated on May 30, 1996
(61 FR 27131). These standards apply to the following facilities in 40
CFR part 63, subpart KK: publication rotogravure, product and packaging
rotogravure, and wide-web flexographic printing presses at major
sources. The effective date was May 30, 1999, for sources existing on
May 30, 1996. For new sources or reconstructed sources after May 30,
1996, the effective date of startup is May 30, 1996, whichever is
later.
    These standards of performance for this category of major sources
and area sources of hazardous air pollutants are required by section
112 of the Clean Air Act. Facilities may meet the standards by
materials substitution, by installing control devices, or by a
combination of both. The information that is required to be submitted
to the Agency or kept at the facility is needed to insure compliance
with the regulation. These include initial one time notifications,
performance test plans and reports and records of maintenance and
shutdown, startup, and malfunctions. The required notifications are
used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes
subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the
source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed
and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard is
being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the
Agency's records of a source's initial capability to comply with the
emission standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions
under which compliance was achieved. For facilities that install
continuous monitoring systems (CMS) there are performance test and
maintenance reports. Excess emissions reports are submitted
semiannually. Responses to the information collection are mandatory
under Clean Air Act section 112 and 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK. The
responses are not anticipated to be kept confidential due to the nature
of the information collected; however, any information submitted to the
Agency for which claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded
according to the Agency policy set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 100
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of publication
rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web
flexographic printing presses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 352.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 50,796.
    Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Annual
Costs: $412,000, which includes $7,000 annualized capital/startup costs
and $405,000 annual O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in
the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden
to industry.

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request: Extension: Form 1-SA

Upon Written Request Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget this request for extension of the previously approved
collection of information discussed below.
    Form 1-SA (17 CFR 239.92) is used to file semiannual reports by
Tier 2 issuers under Regulation A, an exemption from registration under
the Securities Act of 1933 (15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.). Tier 2 issuers
under Regulation A conducting offerings of up to $50 million within a
12-month period are required to file Form 1-SA. Form 1-SA provides
semiannual, interim financial statements and information about the
issuer's liquidity, capital resources and operations after the issuer's
second fiscal quarter. The purpose of the Form 1-SA is to better inform
the public about companies that have conducted Tier 2 offerings under
Regulation A. We estimate that approximately 55 issuers file Form 1-SA
annually. We estimate that Form 1-SA takes approximately 188.0427 hours
to prepare. We estimate that 85% of the 188.0427 hours per response
(159.8363 hours) is prepared by the company for a total annual burden
of 8,791 hours (159.8363 hours per response x 55 responses).
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following website: www.reginfo.gov. Find this
particular information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day
Review--Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-53419; File No. SR-ISE-2005-50]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
Inc.; Order Approving Proposed Rule Change, and Amendment No. 1
Thereto, To Amend ISE Rule 803 To Provide for a Back-Up Primary Market
Maker

March 6, 2006.

I. Introduction

    On October 14, 2005, the International Securities Exchange, Inc.
(``Exchange'' or ``ISE'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend ISE Rule 803 to provide
for a Back-Up Market Maker. On January 12, 2006, the Exchange filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\3\ The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on January 30,
2006.\4\ The Commission received no comment letters regarding the
proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change, as amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 1, which replaced the original filing in its
entirety, made technical and clarifying changes to the proposed rule
change.
    \4\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 53164 (January 20,
2006), 71 FR 4949 (January 30, 2006) (``Notice'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of Proposed Rule

    The Exchange proposes to amend ISE Rule 803 to provide for a Back-
Up Primary Market Maker and to correct an inconsistency in the
Exchange's Rules. Specifically, the Exchange proposes to enhance the
ISE System to allow Competitive Market Makers that are also Primary
Market Makers on the Exchange to voluntarily act as Back-Up Primary
Market Makers when the appointed Primary Market Maker experiences
technical difficulties that interrupt its participation in the market.
Under the proposal, only Competitive Market Makers that are also
Primary Market Makers on the Exchange would be eligible to be
designated as a Back-Up Primary Market Maker because, according to the
Exchange, these members are readily able to assume all of the
responsibilities of a Primary Market Maker on the Exchange, such as
handling customer orders when an away market has a better price.

    Under the proposed rule change, the ISE System would automatically
switch a Competitive Market Maker quoting in the affected options
series to an active Back-Up Primary Market Maker if the appointed
Primary Market Maker stops quoting as a result of technical
difficulties.\5\ The ISE System would automatically switch back to the
appointed Primary Market Maker when it re-establishes its quotes in the
series, but the Back-Up Primary Market Maker would continue to be
responsible for any outstanding unexecuted orders it is handling.
During the period that the services of the Back-Up Primary Market Maker
are required, it would assume most of the responsibilities and
privileges of a Primary Market Maker under the ISE Rules with respect
to any series in which the appointed Primary Market Maker fails to have
a quote in the ISE System.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ If there is more than one eligible member quoting in the
series, the ISE System would automatically switch to the member with
the largest offer in the series.
    \6\ A Competitive Market Maker would not become subject to the
requirement in ISE Rule 804(e)(1) to enter continuous quotations in
all of the series of all of the options classes to which it is
appointed, as opposed to only 60% of the options classes under ISE
Rule 804(e)(2), by acting as a Back-Up Primary Market Maker.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to correct an inconsistency in its
rules. In April 2004, the Exchange received Commission approval of a
proposed rule change that allowed it to disseminate a quotation for
less than ten contracts.\7\ Because the options intermarket linkage
plan and the Exchange's rules continued to require the Exchange to
guarantee that the Firm Customer Quote Size (``FCQS'') and Firm
Principal Quote Size (``FPQS'') would be at least 10 contracts, ISE
Rule 803(c)(1) was amended to provide that the Primary Market Maker had
the obligation to buy or sell the number of contracts necessary to
provide an execution of at least 10 contracts to incoming linkage
orders when the Exchange's disseminated market quotation was for less
than 10 contracts.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See Exchange Act Release No. 49602 (April 22, 2004), 69 FR
23841 (April 30, 2004) (the ``Real Size Filing'').
    \8\ See id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In August 2004, the intermarket linkage plan was amended to provide
that the 10 contract minimum FCQS and FPQS does not apply when the
Exchange is disseminating a quotation of fewer than 10 contracts.\9\ In
October 2004, the Exchange, and all of the other options exchanges,
received approval for changes to their linkage rules to implement this
change to the intermarket linkage plan.\10\ Accordingly, the Primary
Market Maker no longer is required to guarantee a minimum of 10
contracts to an incoming linkage order when the Exchange's disseminated
market quotation is for less than 10 contracts. However, the Exchange
neglected to remove the language in ISE Rule 803(c)(1) at the time the
changes to the linkage rules were approved, thereby creating an
inconsistency in the ISE Rules. The Exchange now proposes to delete the
language in ISE Rule 803(c)(1) as a purely non-substantive clean-up of
the ISE Rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See Exchange Act Release No. 50211 (August 18, 2004), 69 FR
52050 (August 24, 2004).
    \10\ See Exchange Act Release Nos. 50562 (October 19, 2004), 69
FR 62925 (October 28, 2004) and 50587 (October 25, 2004), 69 FR
63417 (November 1, 2004).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion

    After careful review, the Commission finds that the proposed rule
change, as amended, is consistent with the requirements of the Act and
the rules and regulations thereunder applicable to a national
securities exchange.\11\ In particular, the Commission finds that the
proposal is consistent with the requirements of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act,\12\ which requires, among other things, that the rules of a
national securities exchange be designed to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism
of a free and open market and a national market system, and to protect
investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission has
considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition,
and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \12\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the proposal should help to ensure
that the functions of the Primary Market Maker are performed in an
uninterrupted fashion even when a Primary Market Maker experiences
difficulties that cause it to remove its quotes from the market. In
particular, the Commission believes that the proposed rule change
should help to ensure that the Back-Up Primary Market Makers would
provide continuous quotations in all of the series of the options
classes in a manner consistent with the obligations of the Primary
Market Maker, set forth in ISE Rule 803. Further, this proposed rule
change should reduce the number of non-firm quotes or ``fast market''
states disseminated by the ISE.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ The Commission notes that the Exchange represents that most
interruptions in Primary Market Maker quoting are very brief in
duration. Telephone conversation between Katherine Simmons, Deputy
General Counsel, ISE, Marc F. McKayle, Special Counsel, Division of
Market Regulation (``Division''), Commission and Johnna B. Dumler,
Attorney, Division, Commission on November 2, 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The ISE proposal to indicate that a Primary Market Maker is not
required to guarantee a minimum of 10 contracts to an incoming linkage
order when the Exchange's disseminated market quotation is less than 10
contracts is of a clarifying and technical nature. Accordingly, based
on the foregoing the Commission believes that the proposal is
consistent with the requirements of the Act and the rules and
regulations thereunder.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\14\ that the proposed rule change (SR-ISE-2005-50) is approved, as
amended.

Michigan; SO2 Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
request by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
submitted on February 14, 2014, and supplemented on October 27, 2014,
to revise the Michigan state implementation plan (SIP) to incorporate
sulfur dioxide (SO2) limits found in Michigan's Air
Pollution Control Rules at Chapter 336, Part 4, ``Emissions Limitations
and Prohibitions--Sulfur Bearing Compounds.'' EPA will take no action
on the provisions pertaining to the Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) SO2 trading program because CAIR is no longer in
effect.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective June 16, 2015, unless
EPA receives adverse comments by May 18, 2015. If adverse comments are
received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not
take effect.

I. What is the background for this action?
II. What did Michigan submit?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Orders Reviews

I. What is the background for this action?

    On February 14, 2014, and October 27, 2014, MDEQ submitted a
request to incorporate revisions to the Part 4 rule in Michigan's
SO2 SIP. Specifically, the revisions to the Part 4 rule
includes the removal of obsolete rule language, added definitions, and
the consolidation of certain provisions for sources located in Wayne
County.
    MDEQ published a Notice of Public Information in several newspapers
and provided a 30-day public comment period on September 30, 2012,
October

1, 2012, and December 2, 2013, respectively. No public comments were
received.
    On May 31, 1972 (37 FR 10873), EPA approved the Part 4 sulfur
limits into the Michigan SIP. The sulfur limits apply statewide, and
reduce emissions of SO2 from the following sources: (1) Fuel
burning equipment at power plants, (2) fuel burning equipment at a
stationary source other than power plants, (3) oil and natural gas
producing or transportation facilities and natural gas processing
facilities, and (4) sulfuric acid plants. In the same action, EPA
approved the Wayne County Air Quality Management Division (WCAQMD)
Ordinance--Air Pollution Control (APC) regulation for SO2,
``Article VI, Section 6.3, Emissions Limitations and Prohibitions--
Sulfur Bearing Compounds'' rule, thereby incorporating additional
sulfur limits for Wayne County sources into the Michigan SIP. The
WCAQMD APC regulation is more stringent than the state's Part 4 rule
because it includes requirements to control sulfur bearing compound
emissions from sulfuric acid plants, sulfur recovery plants, and
hydrogen sulfide facilities. This rule became effective in Wayne County
on July 23, 1965.
    On May 6, 1980 (45 FR 29790), EPA approved specific portions of the
state of Michigan's April 25, 1979, SIP submittal, to satisfy the
requirements of part D of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for SO2.
In the same action, EPA approved minor revisions to the SO2
regulations in the WCAQMD Ordinance (1969) to adjust sulfur limits for
burning fuel oil.
    In September 2001, the Wayne County Department of Public Health
closed the WCAQMD and ended its air pollution program. As a result of
this action, Wayne County's air pollution control ordinance was
repealed. Although WCAQMD no longer operates as the air pollution
control agency for Wayne County, the SO2 regulations
established for sources located in Wayne County remained part of the
Federally-approved SIP for Michigan.

II. What did Michigan submit?

    MDEQ made revisions to the Part 4 rule with the intent to improve
rule clarity. MDEQ has requested that we act on the following revisions
to Part 4:

R336.1401a (Rule 401a), Definitions

    MDEQ determined that adding definitions for three terms would
clarify the language in Part 4. Rule 401a includes definitions for the
following terms: (a) Power plant, (b) sulfur recovery plant, and (c)
used oil.
    The term ``power plant'' means a single structure devoted to steam
or electric generation, or both, and may contain multiple boilers.
    A ``sulfur recovery plant'' is any plant that recovers elemental
sulfur from any gas stream.
    The term ``used oil'' means any fuel that is produced from used
oil, as defined in R 299.9109(p). To allow incorporation by reference
of the definition contained in R 299.9109(p) into the new definition of
``used oil,'' MDEQ requested in an October 27, 2014, supplement to its
submission that EPA approve R 299.9109(p) into the Michigan SIP. Rule R
299.9109(p), in the Hazardous Waste Management regulations of
Michigan's Administrative Code, states, ``used oil means any oil which
has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, which has been
used and which as a result of the use, is contaminated by physical or
chemical impurities.'' EPA finds that inclusion of the definition of
used oil at R 299.9109(p) is consistent with the Federal used oil
regulation in 40 CFR part 279 (subpart A, Definitions). Rule
299.9109(p) became effective in Michigan on September 11, 2000.
    EPA finds these revisions acceptable for approval into the Michigan
SIP.

R336.1401 (Rule 401); ``Emission Sulfur Dioxide From Power Plants''

    The existing rule 401 addressed SO2 emissions from power
plants. Table 41 and Table 42, respectively, contain percent sulfur-in-
fuel and equivalent SO2 concentration limits. To streamline
the structure of rule 401, MDEQ combined the equivalent SO2
concentration limits in Table 42 with the percent sulfur-in-fuel limits
in Table 41, and thus, developed a ``new'' Table 41--``Fuel and
SO2 Emission Limitations for Power Plants.'' This change did
not revise the existing emission limits for SO2.
    Subsections (1a) and (2) through (7) of the existing rule 401
included interim requirements which allowed existing sources an
extension of time, until January 1, 1980, for compliance. The state has
requested removal of the obsolete rule language.
    To improve clarity, MDEQ added a ``new'' Table 42 into rule 401
applicable to power plants located in Wayne County. MDEQ did not revise
any of the sulfur limits applicable to sources in Wayne County in this
SIP revision. Lastly, the revisions to rule 401 add requirements for
power plants in Wayne County that burn used oil. The requirements for
burning used oil at power plants provide a percent sulfur-in-fuel and
equivalent SO2 concentration limits. Rule 401 limits the
maximum sulfur content for burning used oil to one percent, and the
equivalent SO2 concentration limit is 300 parts per million
by volume (ppmv). The SO2 concentration limit of 300 ppmv,
by comparison, is more stringent than the existing SIP limit of 400
ppmv for power plants in Wayne County burning crude and heavy fuel
oils.
    EPA finds the revisions acceptable for approval into Michigan's
SIP.

R336.1402 (Rule 402), Emissions Limitation of SO2 From Fuel-
burning Equipment at Stationary Sources Other Than Power Plants

    The existing SIP contains emission limitations and prohibitions on
emitting SO2 from fuel-burning equipment at stationary
sources other than power plants. MDEQ's submission will move the fuel
and SO2 concentration limitations applicable only to fuel-
burning equipment at stationary sources located in Wayne County, other
than power plants, into rule 402. MDEQ also amended rule 402, adding
sub-rules 402(3)--402(5). These sub-rules address the applicability
determination, sulfur-in-fuel content and equivalent SO2
concentration limitations, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements
for fuel-burning equipment at Wayne County stationary sources other
than power plants.
    MDEQ did not revise any of the requirements that apply to fuel-
burning equipment at stationary sources located in Wayne County, other
than power plants, in this SIP revision. EPA finds these revisions
acceptable for approval into Michigan's SIP.

R336.1404 (rule 404), Emission Limitation of SO2 and
Sulfuric Acid Mist From Sulfuric Acid Plants

    The existing SIP addresses emission of sulfur bearing compounds
from sulfuric acid plants.
    Similar to rules 401 and 402, MDEQ amended rule 404 by
incorporating the sulfur limit applicable to sulfuric acid plants
located in Wayne County into rule 404. Thus, any sulfuric acid plants
located in Wayne County must continue to comply with the SO2
concentration emission limitation of 6.5 pounds of acid produced.
    MDEQ did not revise any of the requirements that apply to sulfuric
acid plants located in Wayne County in this SIP revision. EPA finds
these revisions acceptable for approval into Michigan's SIP.

R336.1405 (Rule 405), R336.1406 (Rule 406), and R336.1407 (Rule 407)

    MDEQ amended Part 4 by adding rules 405, 406, and 407 to address
emission of sulfur compounds from certain types of facilities or
operations at a stationary source located within Wayne County. Rule 405
specifies various sulfur compound emission limits applicable sulfur
recovery plants. Rule 406 contains prohibitions on hydrogen sulfide
emissions from sources located in Wayne County. Rule 407 contains
sulfur compound limits that apply to any process and fuel burning
equipment at Wayne County stationary sources not otherwise addressed in
Part 4.
    MDEQ did not revise any of the sulfur limits that apply to plants
located in Wayne County. The revisions to Part 4 centrally locates all
the sulfur limits approved in the Michigan SIP in one place. The
revisions also expand the applicability of the rule to restrict the
emission of SO2 from fuel-burning equipment.
    EPA is approving Michigan's Part 4 SIP revision as it relates to
Rule 401a, Rule 401, Rule 402, Rule 404, Rule 405, Rule 406, and Rule
407. However, EPA is taking no action, at this time, on MDEQ's revision
to R 336.1420 (Rule 420), pertaining to the Federal CAIR SO2
trading program which is no longer in effect. The portion of the SIP
revision submission that relates to CAIR is severable, and does not
affect the stringency of the remainder of the SIP submission which EPA
is approving into the Michigan SIP.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving Michigan's February 14, 2014, and October 27,
2014, requests to revise Michigan's SIP revision to incorporate
SO2 limits found in Michigan's Air Pollution Control Rules
at Chapter 336, Part 4, ``Emissions Limitations and Prohibitions--
Sulfur Bearing Compounds.'' EPA is approving this rule for
administrative and SIP strengthening purposes. EPA will take no action
on the provisions pertaining to the Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) SO2 trading program because CAIR is no longer in
effect. EPA is also approving Michigan rule 299.9109, which defines the
term ``used oil'' into Michigan's SIP.
    The revision provides clarity to the Part 4 rule by adding
definitions, removing obsolete language, and streamlining the structure
of the rule by consolidating into Part 4 provisions relating to sources
located in Wayne County. EPA also is approving MDEQ's SIP revision that
removes obsolete language referring to the WCAQMD Ordinance (1969) from
the Michigan SIP.
    It should be noted that EPA is not taking action in this document
to address compliance with the 2010 national ambient air quality
standard for SO2. SIPs addressing current nonattainment
areas in the state for the 2010 SO2 standard are due April
4, 2015, and will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan in part if relevant
adverse written comments are filed. This rule will be effective June
16, 2015 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse
written comments by May 18, 2015. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. We then will
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at
this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision can
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective June
16, 2015.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    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 Michigan
regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The 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).

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).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take
effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report,
which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this action and other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General
of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal
Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is
published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 16, 2015. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

Airworthiness Directives; GROB Aircraft AG Gliders

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
GROB Aircraft AG Models GROB G 109 and GROB G 109B gliders. This
proposed AD results from 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 broken pivots of the tail wheel
mounting bracket resulting from corrosion and damage due to wear. We
are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 6, 2017.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.
     Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2017-0019;
Directorate Identifier 2016-CE-038-AD'' at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposed AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Community, has issued EASA
AD No.: 2016-0228, dated November 14, 2016 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Occurrences were reported of broken pivots of the tail wheel
mounting bracket. Subsequent investigation attributed these events
to corrosion and damage due to wear.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
loss of rudder control, resulting in reduced control of the powered
sailplane.
    To address this potentially unsafe condition, Grob Aircraft AG
issued Mandatory Service Bulletin (MSB) 817-70 (hereafter referred
to as `the MSB' in this AD) to provide inspection and repair
instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires repetitive
inspections of the tail wheel mounting bracket and, depending on
findings, accomplishment of applicable corrective action(s).

    You may examine the MCAI on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2017-
0019.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    GROB Aircraft AG has issued Service Bulletin No. MSB817-70, dated
September 28, 2016, and GROB Aircraft AG Repair Instruction RI 817-015,
dated September 16, 2016. In combination, this service information
describes procedures for inspection of the tail mounting bracket and
instructions for any necessary repair. 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 NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the 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 this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 57 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 3 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $50 per product.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $17,385, or $305 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 5 work-hours and require parts costing $100, for a cost of
$525 per product. We have no way of determining the number of products
that may need these actions.

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.

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 AD:

GROB Aircraft AG: Docket No. FAA-2017-0019; Directorate Identifier
2016-CE-038-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by March 6, 2017.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to GROB Aircraft AG Models GROB G 109 and GROB G
109B gliders, all serial numbers, certificated in any category.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 32: Landing
Gear.

(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 broken pivots of
the tail wheel mounting bracket resulting from corrosion and damage
due to wear. We are issuing this proposed AD to detect and correct
if necessary any corrosion or damage to the tail wheel mounting
bracket, which could cause loss of rudder control and result in
reduced control.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    Unless already done, do the following actions:
    (1) Within the next 3 months after the effective date of this AD
or 100 hours time-in-service (TIS) after the effective date of this
AD, whichever occurs first, and repetitively thereafter at intervals
not to exceed every 100 hours TIS or 12 months, whichever occurs
first, inspect the tail wheel mounting bracket following the
Accomplishment Instructions in section 1.8 of GROB Aircraft AG
Service Bulletin (SB) No. MSB817-70, dated September 28, 2016.
    (2) If any damage is found during any inspection required in
paragraph (f)(1) of this AD, before further flight, repair following
GROB Aircraft AG Repair Instruction RI 817-015, dated September 16,
2016.

    Note 1 to paragraph (f)(2) of this AD: The bolt in Figure 1,
Pos. 10 of GROB Aircraft AG Repair Instruction RI 817-015, dated
September 16, 2016, is welded into place onto the steel base plate.
Therefore, in order to facilitate the removal of the bolt, the
welding seams may be carefully ground off using caution to not
damage the steel base plate, instead of completely cutting off the
bolt head.

    (3) Repairs made as required by paragraph (f)(2) of this AD do
not qualify as terminating action for the repetitive inspections
required in paragraph (f)(1) of this AD.

(g) Other FAA AD Provisions

    The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
Standards Office, FAA, has the authority to approve AMOCs for this
AD, if requested using the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send
information to ATTN: Jim Rutherford, Aerospace Engineer, FAA, Small
Airplane Directorate, 901 Locust, Room 301, Kansas City, Missouri
64106; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Before using any approved AMOC on any
airplane to which the AMOC applies, notify your appropriate
principal inspector (PI) in the FAA Flight Standards District Office
(FSDO), or lacking a PI, your local FSDO.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
