14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2010-1095; Directorate Identifier 2009-NE-40-AD;
Amendment 39-16742; AD 2011-14-07]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney (PW) Models PW4074 and
PW4077 Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD requires removing the 15th stage HPC
disk within 12,000 cycles since new (CSN) or, for any disks that exceed
12,000 CSN after the effective date of this AD using a drawdown plan
that includes a borescope inspection (BSI) or eddy current inspection
(ECI) of the rim for cracks. This AD was prompted by multiple shop
findings of cracked 15th stage HPC disks. We are issuing this AD to
prevent cracks from propagating into the disk bolt holes, which could
result in a failure of the 15th stage HPC disk, uncontained engine
failure, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 8, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in the AD as of September 8,
2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an airworthiness directive (AD) that would apply to
the specified products. That NPRM published in the Federal Register on
November 2, 2010, (75 FR 67253). That NPRM proposed to require removing
the 15th stage HPC disk before 12,000 CSN, or for any disks that exceed
12,000 CSN after the effective date of this AD, using a drawdown plan
that includes a BSI or ECI of the rim for cracks.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM 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.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 44 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. Prorated parts life will cost about $66,000
per 15th stage HPC disk. Based on these figures, we estimate the total
cost of the AD to U.S. operators to be $2,904,000.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

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

40 CFR Part 97

[FRL-9928-49-OAR]

Availability of Data on Allocations of Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule Allowances From New Unit Set-Asides for the 2015 Compliance Year

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of data availability (NODA).

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing notice
of the availability of preliminary calculations of emission allowance
allocations to certain units under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
(CSAPR). Under the CSAPR federal implementation plans (FIPs), portions
of each covered state's annual emissions budgets for each of the four
CSAPR emissions trading programs are reserved for allocation to
electricity generating units that commenced commercial operation on or
after January 1, 2010 (new units) and certain other units not otherwise
obtaining allowance allocations under the FIPs. The quantities of
allowances allocated to eligible units from each new unit set-aside
(NUSA) under the FIPs are calculated in an annual one- or two-round
allocation process. EPA has completed preliminary calculations for the
first round of NUSA allowance allocations for the 2015 compliance year
and has posted spreadsheets containing the calculations on EPA's Web
site. EPA will consider timely objections to the preliminary
calculations (including objections concerning the identification of
units eligible for allocations) and will promulgate a notice responding
to any such objections no later than August 1, 2015, the deadline for
recording the first-round allocations in sources' Allowance Management
System accounts. This notice may concern CSAPR-affected units in the
following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New

York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

DATES: Objections to the information referenced in this notice must be
received on or before July 1, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your objections via email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
Include ``2015 NUSA allocations'' in the email subject line and include
your name, title, affiliation, address, phone number, and email address
in the body of the email.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions concerning this action
should be addressed to Robert Miller at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or Kenon Smith at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the CSAPR FIPs, the mechanisms by
which initial allocations of emission allowances are determined differ
for ``existing'' and ``new'' units. For ``existing'' units--that is,
units commencing commercial operation before January 1, 2010--the
specific amounts of CSAPR FIP allowance allocations for all compliance
years have been established through rulemaking. EPA has announced the
availability of spreadsheets showing the CSAPR FIP allowance
allocations to existing units in previous notices.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The latest spreadsheet of CSAPR FIP allowance allocations to
existing units, updated in 2014 to reflect changes to CSAPR's
implementation schedule but with allocation amounts unchanged since
June 2012, is available at http://www.epa.gov/crossstaterule/actions.html. See Availability of Data on Allocations of Cross-State
Air Pollution Rule Allowances to Existing Electricity Generating
Units, 79 FR 71674 (December 3, 2014).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ``New'' units--that is, units commencing commercial operation on or
after January 1, 2010--as well as certain older units that would not
otherwise obtain FIP allowance allocations do not have pre-established
allowance allocations. Instead, the CSAPR FIPs reserve a portion of
each state's total annual emissions budget for each CSAPR emissions
trading program as a new unit set-aside (NUSA) \2\ and establish an
annual process for allocating NUSA allowances to eligible units. States
with Indian country within their borders have separate Indian country
NUSAs. The annual process for allocating allowances from the NUSAs and
Indian country NUSAs to eligible units is set forth in the CSAPR
regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b) and 97.412 (NOX Annual
Trading Program), 97.511(b) and 97.512 (NOX Ozone Season
Trading Program), 97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1 Trading
Program), and 97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2 Trading
Program). Each NUSA allowance allocation process involves up to two
rounds of allocations to new units followed by the allocation to
existing units of any allowances not allocated to new units. EPA
provides public notice at certain points in the process. This notice
concerns preliminary calculations for the first round of NUSA allowance
allocations for the 2015 compliance year.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The NUSA amounts range from two percent to eight percent of
the respective state budgets. The variation in percentages reflects
differences among states in the quantities of emission allowances
projected to be required by known new units at the time the budgets
were set or amended.
    \3\ At this time, EPA is not aware of any unit eligible for a
first-round allocation from any Indian country NUSA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The units eligible to receive first-round NUSA allocations are
defined in Sec. Sec.  97.412(a)(1), 97.512(a)(1), 97.612(a)(1), and
97.712(a)(1). Generally, eligible units include any CSAPR-affected unit
that has not been allocated allowances as an existing unit as well as
certain units that have been allocated allowances as existing units but
whose allocations have been deducted or not recorded because of
corrections or multi-year breaks in operations. EPA notes that a valid
allowance allocation may consist of zero allowances; thus, an existing
unit specifically allocated zero allowances in the spreadsheet of CSAPR
FIP allowance allocations to existing units is generally ineligible to
receive a NUSA allowance allocation.
    The quantity of allowances to be allocated through the 2015 NUSA
allowance allocation process for each state and emissions trading
program is generally the state's 2015 emissions budget less the sum of
(1) the total of the 2015 CSAPR FIP allowance allocations to existing
units and (2) the amount of the 2015 Indian country NUSA, if any.\4\
The amounts of NUSA allowances may be increased in certain
circumstances as set forth in Sec. Sec.  97.412(a)(2), 97.512(a)(2),
97.612(a)(2), and 97.712(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The quantities of allowances to be allocated through the
NUSA allowance allocation process may differ slightly from the NUSA
amounts set forth in Sec. Sec.  97.410(a), 97.510(a), 97.610(a), and
97.710(a) because of rounding in the spreadsheet of CSAPR FIP
allowance allocations to existing units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The amounts of first-round allocations to eligible units from each
NUSA are calculated according to the procedures set forth in Sec. Sec.
97.412(a)(3)-(7) and (12), 97.512(a)(3)-(7) and (12), 97.612(a)(3)-(7)
and (12), and 97.712(a)(3)-(7) and (12). Generally, the procedures call
for each eligible unit to receive a first-round 2015 NUSA allocation
equal to its 2014 emissions as reported under 40 CFR part 75 unless the
total of such allocations to all eligible units would exceed the amount
of allowances in the NUSA, in which case the allocations are reduced on
a pro-rata basis.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Subsequent allocations of any allowances remaining in any
2015 NUSA after first-round allocations will be addressed in future
notices. Any such allocations will be made according to the
procedures set forth in Sec. Sec.  97.412(a)(9)-(10) and (12),
97.512(a)(9)-(10) and (12), 97.612(a)(9)-(10) and (12), and
97.712(a)(9)-(10) and (12). Generally, new units that commenced
commercial operations in 2014 or 2015 will receive second-round 2015
NUSA allocations sufficient to bring the totals of their first- and
second-round allocations up to their 2015 emissions as reported
under 40 CFR part 75 unless the total of such second-round
allocations for all eligible units would exceed the remaining amount
of allowances in the NUSA, in which case the second-round
allocations will be reduced on a pro-rata basis. Any allowances
remaining in any NUSA after second-round allocations to new units--
along with any allowances remaining in any corresponding Indian
country NUSA--will be allocated to the state's existing units in
proportion to their respective 2015 CSAPR FIP allocations of non-
NUSA allowances.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA notes that an allocation or lack of allocation of allowances to
a given EGU does not constitute a determination that CSAPR does or does
not apply to the EGU. EPA also notes that allocations are subject to
potential correction.
    The detailed unit-by-unit data and preliminary allowance allocation
calculations are set forth in Excel spreadsheets titled
``CSAPR_NUSA_2015_NOX_Annual_1st_Round_Prelim_Data'',
``CSAPR_NUSA_2015_NOX_OS_1st_Round_Prelim_Data'', and
``CSAPR_NUSA_2015_SO2_1st_Round_Prelim_Data,'' available on
EPA's Web site at http://www.epa.gov/crossstaterule/actions.html. The
three spreadsheets show EPA's initial determinations of 2015 NUSA
allocations for new units subject to the CSAPR NOX Annual,
NOX Ozone Season, and SO2 (Group 1 and Group 2)
trading programs, respectively. Each of the spreadsheets contains a
separate worksheet for each state covered by that program showing, for
each unit identified as eligible for a first-round NUSA allocation, (1)
the unit's emissions in the 2014 control period (annual or ozone season
as applicable), (2) the maximum first-round 2015 NUSA allowance
allocation for which the unit is eligible (typically the unit's
emissions in the 2014 control period), (3) various adjustments to the
unit's maximum allocation, many of which are necessary only if the NUSA
pool is oversubscribed, and (4) the preliminary calculation of the
unit's first-round 2015 NUSA allowance allocation.
    Each state worksheet also contains a summary showing (1) the
quantity of allowances initially available in that state's 2015 NUSA,
(2) the sum of the

first-round 2015 NUSA allowance allocations that will be made to new
units in that state, assuming there are no corrections to the data, and
(3) the quantity of allowances that would remain in the 2015 NUSA for
use in second-round allocations to new units (or ultimately for
allocation to existing units), again assuming there are no corrections
to the data.
    Objections should be strictly limited to the data and calculations
upon which the NUSA allowance allocations are based and should be
emailed to the address identified in ADDRESSES. Objections must
include: (1) Precise identification of the specific data and/or
calculations the commenter believes are inaccurate, (2) new proposed
data and/or calculations upon which the commenter believes EPA should
rely instead to determine allowance allocations, and (3) the reasons
why EPA should rely on the commenter's proposed data and/or
calculations and not the data referenced in this notice.

Page 1 UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY WASHINGTON, D. C. 20460 OFFICE OF PREVENTION, PESTICIDES AND TOXIC SUBSTANCES MEMORANDUM Date: June 26, 2002 SUBJECT: Revised Estimates of the Number of Acres Treated per Day for Lindane Seed Treatment Use on Field Corn FROM: David W. Brassard, Senior Entomologist Herbicide and Insecticide Branch Biological and Economic Analysis Division (7503C)

THRU: Arnet Jones, Chief Herbicide and Insecticide Branch Biological and Economic Analysis Division (7503C)

TO: Mark Howard, Chemical Review Manager Reregistration Branch III Special Review and Reregistration Division (7508C)

Peer Review Date: June 26, 2002 SUMMARY On June 6, 2002, BEAD met with representatives from the lindane registrants, Gustafson and Uniroyal, to reconcile differences in the assumptions used in the derivation of estimates of the number of field corn acres planted with lindane treated seed per day. BEAD's original assumptions produced estimates of 200 acres treated daily whereas the registrant's assumptions produced estimates of 80 acres treated daily. Based on farm size information obtained from pesticide usage data and the USDA Agricultural Census, BEAD refuted the registrants' assumption that lindane treated seed is only used on small and medium size farms with 8 row planters. BEAD believes that some growers planting 500 or more acres of corn use 20 row planters to apply lindane treated seed. BEAD agreed with the registrant's assumption of longer hopper refill times (than those experienced by applicators of granular pesticides) for pouring and mixing the seed with a lindane seed treatment product. Based on the revised assumptions provided by the registrant, BEAD is revising its previous estimate of 200 acres of field corn treated with lindane seed treatment per day downward to 180 acres treated per day. Page 2 BACKGROUND In response to a request from SRRD, BEAD reviewed the "Handler Exposure Assessment for Lindane Use as a Seed Treatment in the United States" submitted by Uniroyal Chemical Company. In a memo dated May 15, 2002, BEAD disagreed with Uniroyal's estimate of 80 acres planted per day for corn (Brassard, 2002). Based on the Science Advisory Council for Exposure Policy Number: 9.1 (Sandvig, 2001), BEAD estimated that 200 acres planted per day was a more reasonable upper end estimate. The EPA policy estimates were based (in part) on an analysis by Brassard and Ng (1993) which assumed the use of 20 row planters for application of granular insecticides and an eight hour work day.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BEAD AND REGISTRANT SEED TREATMENT ASSUMPTIONS On June 6, 2002, BEAD met with representatives from the lindane registrants, Gustafson and Uniroyal, to discuss the assumptions used in the derivation of these exposure estimates. The registrants indicated that they assumed that on farm products are typically used by small to medium sized farm operations who generally use 8 row planters. When queried, the registrants indicated that they had no factual basis for this assumption. BEAD explained that its use information sources indicated that the average field size for lindane treated field corn was 145 acres which is close to the national average of 162 acres (USDA, 1997a). Nationally, 37% of all field corn acreage occurs on, and 7% of all field corn growers harvest, over 500 acres of field corn (Table 1, USDA, 1997b). BEAD believes that many growers planting more than 500 acres of corn would be using 20 row planters.

The registrants also assumed that it would take at least 30 minutes to pour and mix the seed and lindane seed treatment product for an 8 row planter (which is equivalent to about 3. 75 minutes per hopper) and that an 8 row planter traveling at 5 miles per hour can treat an acre in about 5 minutes (assuming a 30 inch row spacing) or about 84 acres in an 8 hour day.

8 hours = 480 minutes 30 minutes to refill hoppers x 2 refills = 60 minutes 480  60 minutes = 420 minutes planting time remaining in 8 hour day 420 minutes ÷ 5 minutes/ acre = 84 acres treated in an 8 hour day BEAD agrees with the registrant's assumption of longer hopper refill times (than those experienced by applicators of granular pesticides) necessary to pour and mix the seed and lindane seed treatment product. Using the registrant's assumptions regarding refill times, planter speed, and row spacing, BEAD calculated that a grower using a 20 row planter could treat 180 acres in an eight hour day 8 hours = 480 minutes 75 minutes to refill hoppers x 1. 5 refills = 112.5 minutes 480  112.5 minutes = 367.5 minutes planting time remaining in 8 hour day a 20 row planter traveling at 5 miles per hour can treat an acre in about 2 minutes 1 Each hopper usually takes 2 bags of seed which is enough to treat 6 acres; 20 hoppers x 6 acres x 1. 5 refills = 180 acres.

Page 3 367.5 minutes ÷ 2 minutes/ acre = 183.75 acres treated in an 8 hour day However since 1. 5 refills of a 20 row planter only provides enough seed to treat 180 acres 1 , BEAD believes that this is a more realistic estimate for exposure assessment purposes. BEAD believes that halving the refill time for the half refill is practical since a full refill requires that 2 bags of seed be added per hopper and treated and thus adding only 1 bag of seed per hopper could be accomplished in roughly half the time.

CONCLUSION BEAD believes that the registrant estimate of 84 acres treated per day represents a reasonable central value exposure scenario. BEAD's estimate of 180 acres treated per day should be considered as reasonable upper end estimate for an 8 hour work day. However, BEAD is aware of situations in which growers working long hours on 24 row planters have planted 300 to 400 acres of field corn in a day (Muggeridge, 1997).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NJTRO railroad bridge across Cheesequake
Creek, mile 0.2, at Morgan, New Jersey, has a vertical clearance in the
closed position of 3 feet at mean high water and 8 feet at mean low
water. The existing bridge operating regulations are found at 33 CFR
117.709(b).
    The waterway is transited by recreational and commercial vessels of
various sizes.
    The bridge owner, New Jersey Transit Rail Operations, requested a
temporary deviation from the normal operating schedule to facilitate
structural repairs at the bridge.
    Under this temporary deviation the NJTRO railroad bridge shall
operate on Saturday, November 8, 2014, Sunday, November 9, 2014,
Saturday, November 15, 2014, and Sunday, November 16, 2014 as follows:
Between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. the draw shall open at 7 a.m., 10 a.m., 1
p.m., and 4 p.m. The draw shall maintain its normal operating schedule
at all other times.
    In the event of inclement weather the rain dates are Saturday,
November 22, 2014 and Sunday, November 23, 2014.
    There are no alternate routes for vessel traffic; however, vessels
that can pass under the closed draws during this closure may do so at
all times. The bridge may be opened in the event of an emergency.
    The Coast Guard will inform the users of the waterways through our
Local and Broadcast Notice to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridges so that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating
regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: October 9, 2014.
