[Docket No. FDA-2020-N-0008]

Advisory Committee; Vaccines and Related Biological Products
Advisory Committee; Renewal

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice; renewal of advisory committee.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
renewal of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory
Committee by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner). The
Commissioner has determined that it is in the public interest to renew
the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee for an

additional 2 years beyond the charter expiration date. The new charter
will be in effect until December 31, 2021.

DATES: Authority for the Vaccines and Related Biological Products
Advisory Committee will expire on December 31, 2021, unless the
Commissioner formally determines that renewal is in the public
interest.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Prabhakara Atreya, Division of
Scientific Advisors and Consultants, Food and Drug Administration,

0002,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to 41 CFR 102-3, FDA is announcing
the renewal of the Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory
Committee (the Committee). The Committee is a discretionary Federal
advisory committee established to provide advice to the Commissioner.
The Committee advises the Commissioner or designee in discharging
responsibilities as they relate to helping to ensure safe and effective
vaccines and related biological products for human use and, as
required, any other product for which FDA has regulatory
responsibility.
    The Committee reviews and evaluates data concerning the safety,
effectiveness, and appropriate use of vaccines and related biological
products that are intended for use in the prevention, treatment, or
diagnosis of human diseases and, as required, any other products for
which FDA has regulatory responsibility. The Committee also considers
the quality and relevance of FDA's research program, which provides
scientific support for the regulation of these products and makes
appropriate recommendations to the Commissioner.
    Pursuant to its Charter, the Committee shall consist of a core of
15 voting members, including the Chairperson (the Chair). Members and
the Chair are selected by the Commissioner or designee from among
authorities knowledgeable in the fields of immunology, molecular
biology, rDNA, virology, bacteriology, epidemiology or biostatistics,
vaccine policy, vaccine safety science, Federal immunization
activities, vaccine development including translational and clinical
evaluation programs, allergy, preventive medicine, infectious diseases,
pediatrics, microbiology, and biochemistry. Members will be invited to
serve for overlapping terms of up to 4 years. Almost all non-Federal
members of this Committee serve as Special Government Employees. Ex
Officio voting members, one each from the Department of Health and
Human Services, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the
National Institutes of Health, may be included. The core of voting
members may include one technically qualified member, selected by the
Commissioner or designee, who is identified with consumer interests and
is recommended by either a consortium of consumer-oriented
organizations or other interested persons. In addition to the voting
members, the Committee may include one non-voting member who is
identified with industry interests. There may also be an alternate
industry representative.
    The Commissioner or designee shall have the authority to select
members of other scientific and technical FDA advisory committees
(normally not to exceed 10 members) to serve temporarily as voting
members and to designate consultants to serve temporarily as voting
members when: (1) Expertise is required that is not available among
current voting standing members of the Committee (when additional
voting members are added to the Committee to provide needed expertise,
a quorum will be based on the combined total of regular and added
members) or (2) to comprise a quorum when, because of unforeseen
circumstances, a quorum is or will be lacking. Because of the size of
the Committee and the variety in the types of issues that it will
consider, FDA may, in connection with a particular Committee meeting,
specify a quorum that is less than a majority of the current voting
members. The Agency's regulations (21 CFR 14.22(d)) authorize a
Committee charter to specify quorum requirements.
    If functioning as a medical device panel, a non-voting
representative of consumer interests and a non-voting representative of
industry interests will be included in addition to the voting members.

information can be found at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/CommitteesMeetingMaterials/BloodVaccinesandOtherBiologics/VaccinesandRelatedBiologicalProductsAdvisoryCommittee/ucm129571.htm or
by contacting the Designated Federal Officer (see FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT). In light of the fact that no change has been made
to the Committee name or description of duties, no amendment will be
made to 21 CFR 14.100.
    This document is issued under the Federal Advisory Committee Act (5
U.S.C. app.). For general information related to FDA advisory

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket Nos. PF15-18-000 and PF15-19-000]

Port Arthur LNG, LLC and Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC; Notice of
Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Planned
Port Arthur Liquefaction Project and Port Arthur Pipeline Project,
Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Scoping Meetings

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) that
will discuss the environmental impacts of the Port Arthur Liquefaction
Project and Port Arthur Pipeline Project (projects) involving
construction and operation of facilities by Port Arthur LNG, LLC
(PALNG) and Port Arthur Pipeline, LLC (PAPL), respectively, in
Jefferson and Orange Counties, Texas, and Cameron Parish, Louisiana.
The Commission will use this EIS in its decision-making process to
determine whether the projects are in the public interest and public
convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the projects. You can make a difference by providing us
with your specific comments or concerns about the projects. Your
comments should focus on the potential environmental effects,
reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental
impacts. Your input will help the Commission staff determine what
issues they need to evaluate in the EIS. To ensure that your comments
are timely and properly recorded, please send your comments so that the
Commission receives them in Washington, DC on or before July 24, 2015.
    If you sent comments on these projects to the Commission before the
opening of these dockets on March 31, 2015, you will need to file those
comments in Docket Nos. PF15-18-000 and PF15-19-000 to ensure they are
considered as part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for these projects. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of these planned
projects and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the Port Arthur Pipeline Project, that approval
conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are four methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission will provide equal
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form
or provided verbally. The Commission encourages electronic filing of
comments and has expert staff available to assist you at<PHONE_NUMBER>
or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Please carefully follow these instructions so that
your comments are properly recorded.
    (1) You can file your comments electronically using the eComment
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. This is an easy method for submitting brief,
text-only comments on a project;
    (2) You can file your comments electronically by using the eFiling
feature on the Commission's Web site (www.ferc.gov) under the link to
Documents and Filings. With eFiling, you can provide comments in a
variety of formats by attaching them as a file with your submission.
New eFiling users must first create an account by clicking on
``eRegister.'' If you are filing a comment on a particular project,
please select ``Comment on a Filing'' as the filing type; or
    (3) You can file a paper copy of your comments by mailing them to
the following address. Be sure to reference the projects' docket
numbers (PF15-18-000 for the Port Arthur Liquefaction Project; PF15-19-
000 for the Port Arthur Pipeline Project) with your submission:
Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888
First Street NE., Room 1A, Washington, DC 20426.
    (4) In lieu of sending written or electronic comments, the
Commission invites you to attend one of the public scoping meetings its
staff will conduct in the projects' area, scheduled as follows.

FERC Public Scoping Meetings--Port Arthur Liquefaction Project and Port
Arthur Pipeline Project

Holiday Inn Port Arthur-Park Central, 2929 Jimmy Johnson Blvd., Port
Arthur, Texas 77642

Monday, July 13, 2015
Midday Meeting--11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Evening Meeting--5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.

    You may attend at any time during either session, as the primary
goal of a scoping meeting is for us to have your environmental concerns
documented. There will not be a formal presentation, but you will have
the opportunity to learn, in an open-house setting, about the FERC
Process in addition to presenting your comments. Representatives of
PAPL and PALNG will also be present to answer questions about their
projects.
    A court reporter will be available to take verbal comments. Those
comments will be transcribed and then placed into the dockets for the
projects and be available for public viewing on FERC's eLibrary system
in the respective dockets. We believe it is important to note that
verbal comments hold the same weight as written or electronically
submitted comments. If a significant number of people are interested in
providing verbal comments, a time limit of 3 to 5 minutes may be
implemented for each commenter to ensure all those wishing to comment
have the opportunity to do so within the designated meeting times. Time
limits will be strictly enforced if they are implemented.
    Please note this is not your only public input opportunity; please
refer to the review process flow chart in appendix 1.\1\

Summary of the Planned Project

    PALNG, an affiliate of Sempra LNG, and PAPL, a subsidiary of Sempra
U.S. Gas and Power, LLC, are planning to construct and operate
interrelated liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal and natural gas
infrastructure projects. The Port Arthur Liquefaction Project would
involve the construction of an LNG export terminal and a marine
facility to accommodate LNG vessels along the Sabine-Neches ship
channel in Jefferson County, Texas, with a total production capacity of
up to 1.38 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d) of natural gas. The Port
Arthur Pipeline Project would involve the construction of about 35
miles of new pipeline and would provide approximately 1.6 bcf/d of feed
natural gas supply to the LNG facilities. The projects would also
require the relocation of a portion of State Highway 87 and up to five
existing third-party pipelines to accommodate a marine terminal berth
for ship docking and loading.
    The Port Arthur Liquefaction Project and Port Arthur Pipeline
Project would consist of the following facilities:

 An export liquefaction terminal that includes:
    [cir] Two liquefaction trains;
    [cir] a natural gas liquids (NGL) and refrigerant storage area;
    [cir] a marine facility, including two LNG berths, each with three
liquid loading arms, one vapor loading arm, and one spare hybrid
loading arm;
    [cir] an NGL and refrigerant truck loading/unloading facility;
    [cir] a construction dock; and
    [cir] three full containment LNG storage tanks;
 an approximately 28-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter pipeline
extending northerly from the LNG facility to Orange County, Texas;
 an approximately 7-mile-long, 42-inch-diameter pipeline
extending southerly to Cameron Parish, Louisiana;
 two compressor stations;
 one delivery point and six receipt point meter stations;
 mainline and block valves;
 pig launchers and receiver facilities; \2\ and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

 other pipeline-related facilities (e.g., access roads,
contractor and pipe yards).

    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
2.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned Port Arthur Liquefaction Project would
occur on a portion of a 2,900-acre property owned by an affiliate of
PALNG. The LNG ship berth would be approximately 1,350 feet in width
and 1,900 feet in length and dredged to a nominal depth of minus 40
feet mean lower low water. Construction of the marine facilities would
require dredging of approximately 4.9 million cubic yards (yd\3\) of
material and construction of the turning basin would require the
dredging of approximately 1.4 million yd\3\, for a total of 6.3 million
yd\3\.
    Construction of the planned Port Arthur Pipeline Project would
disturb about 580 acres of land for the pipeline and aboveground
facilities. Following construction, PAPL would maintain about 217 acres
for permanent operation of the pipeline project; the remaining acreage
would be restored and revert to former uses.

The EIS Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the authorization of LNG
facilities under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act and the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\3\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EIS on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EIS. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EIS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EIS we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned projects under these
general headings:

 Geology and soils;
 land use;
 water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
 cultural resources;
 vegetation and wildlife;
 air quality and noise;
 endangered and threatened species;
 socioeconomics;
 public safety; and
 cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned projects
or portions of the projects, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal applications have been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EIS.
    The EIS will present our independent analysis of the issues. We
will publish and distribute the draft EIS for public comment. After the
comment period, we will consider all timely comments and revise the
document, as necessary, before issuing a final EIS. To ensure we have
the opportunity to consider and address your comments, please carefully
follow the instructions in the Public Participation section, beginning
on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to these projects to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EIS.\4\ Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice. Currently, the U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Department of
Transportation have expressed their intention to participate as a
cooperating agency in the preparation of the EIS to satisfy their NEPA
responsibilities related to these projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, part 1501.6.

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the projects' potential effects on

historic properties.\5\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPOs as the projects
develop. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EIS for these projects will document
our findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the
status of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified two specific issues that we think
deserve attention based on a preliminary review of the planned
facilities and the environmental information provided by PAPL and
PALNG. This preliminary list of issues may change based on your
comments and our analysis.

 Impacts on wetlands; and
 Impacts on Texas Parks and Wildlife Department land.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the projects. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned projects.
    Copies of the completed draft EIS will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to
receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD version or would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the
attached Information Request (appendix 3).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once PAPL and PALNG file their applications with the Commission,
you may want to become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to
the Commission's proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the
process and are able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard
by the courts if they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling.
An intervenor formally participates in the proceeding by filing a
request to intervene. Instructions for becoming an intervenor are in
the User's Guide under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web
site. Please note that the Commission will not accept requests for
intervenor status at this time. You must wait until the Commission
receives formal applications for the projects.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the projects is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket number,
excluding the last three digits in the Docket Number field (i.e., PF15-

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for TTY,
contact<PHONE_NUMBER>. The eLibrary link also provides access to the
texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
    Finally, public meetings or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain M7 Aerospace LLC
Models SA226-T, SA226-AT, SA226-T(B), SA226-TC, SA227-AC (C-26A),
SA227-AT, SA227-BC (C-26A), SA227-CC, SA227-DC (C-26B), and SA227-TT
airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on December 28,
2016 (81 FR 95528). The NPRM was prompted by reports of the airplane
power lever linkage detaching from the TPE331 engine propeller pitch
control (PPC) shaft. In flight operations, detachment may result in
fuel flow to the engine remaining constant regardless of the power
lever movement by the pilot. The orientation of the engine on certain
M7 Aerospace airplanes increases the vulnerability of detachment. The
PPC lever is an airplane part and its detachment from

the TPE311 has been the subject of previous ADs on other airplane type
designs. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive inspections of the PPC
lever with corrective action as necessary until required replacement or
rework of the PPC assembly to have a threaded hole in the splined end
of the shouldered shaft and installation of a secondary retention
feature for the airplane control linkage interface is done. We are
issuing this AD to correct the unsafe condition on these products.

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 this AD as proposed. We have
determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for correcting the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed M7 Aerospace LLC SA226 Series Service Bulletin 226-76-
012, dated March 17, 2015; M7 Aerospace LLC SA227 Series Service

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.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[U.S. DOT Docket No. NHTSA-2015-0112]

Reports, Forms, and Record Keeping Requirements; 60 Day Federal
Register Notice

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Request for public comment on proposed collection of
information.

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

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from
the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit
public comment on proposed collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatements of previously approved collections.
    This document describes one collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before January 8, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments identified by DOT Docket ID Number
NHTSA- 2015-0112 using any of the following methods:
    Electronic submissions: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow
the online instructions for submitting comments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mary T. Byrd, Contracting Officer's
Representative, Office of Behavioral Safety Research (NTI-132),
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue
SE., W46-466, Washington, DC 20590. Mary T. Byrd's phone number is 202-
366-5595 and her email address is<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the

validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) how to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses.
    In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public comment on
the following proposed collection of information:
    Title: Evaluation of Community-Oriented Enforcement Demonstrations.
    Type of Request: New information collection requirement.
    OMB Clearance Number: None.
    Form Number: NHTSA Forms 1321, 1322, 1325.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years from date of
approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information--The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to conduct public
awareness surveys to help evaluate two traffic safety demonstration
projects: Building Community Support for (1) Seat Belt Enforcement and
(2) Impaired Driving Enforcement. If clearance is granted, the public
awareness surveys would be administered in-person at Department of
Motor Vehicles Offices pre-, mid-, and post-program in the two program
locations and the two comparison locations. Over the total data
collection effort, 9,600 people would be surveyed, 4,800 for each
program. Estimated administration length would be approximately 5
minutes for the recruitment questionnaire and 10 minutes for the
awareness survey questionnaire. For the recruitment questionnaire,
information on licensure status and age would be collected. For the
awareness survey questionnaire, information on attitudes, awareness,
knowledge, and behavior would be collected.
    A Spanish-language translation of the awareness survey
questionnaire would be used to minimize language barriers to
participation. Additionally, participation in the proposed data
collection would be anonymous; the questionnaires would not collect any
personal information that would allow anyone to identify respondents.
Participant names would not be collected.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information--The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
was established by the Highway Safety Act of 1970 (23 U.S.C. 101) to
carry out a Congressional mandate to reduce the mounting number of
deaths, injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle
crashes on the Nation's highways. As part of this statutory mandate,
NHTSA is authorized to conduct research as a foundation for the
development of motor vehicle standards and traffic safety programs.
    In 2013, there were 10,076 fatalities in crashes involving a driver
with a BAC of .08 or higher, which is 31% of total traffic fatalities
in 2013.\1\ In the same year, 49% of passenger vehicle occupants killed
in crashes were unrestrained.\2\ These data point to the continued need
for countermeasure development to decrease impaired driving and
increase seat belt use. The purpose of the proposed data collection is
to evaluate the effectiveness of two programs designed to increase seat
belt use and reduce alcohol-impaired and unrestrained crashes,
injuries, and fatalities. The programs are designed to accomplish these
goals by using increased enforcement activity driven by law enforcement
and community partnerships that maximize community support for impaired
driving and seat belt enforcement. The proposed data collection would
survey licensed drivers eighteen years and older visiting Department of
Motor Vehicles Offices residing in the program and comparison locations
to find out about public support for enforcement, awareness of
enforcement activity, exposure to community partner activities, and
self-reported impaired driving and seat belt use. The collected
responses would inform how well the program created community support
and influenced safe driving behavior. An essential part of the proposed
data collection would be to compare pre-, mid-, and post-program
measures to determine how the program contributed to changes in
participant responses; therefore, multiple measurements would be
required.

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

    The findings from this proposed information collection would
support NHTSA, the States, localities, and law enforcement agencies by
providing evidence as to the effectiveness of the community-oriented
enforcement approach under examination. The findings could be used to
refocus existing impaired driving and seat belt programs in order to
enhance their effect or to guide the development of new programs.
    Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number,
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information)--
Under this proposed effort, the potential respondent universe would be
licensed drivers eighteen years and older visiting Department of Motor
Vehicles Offices residing in the locations where the impaired driving
and seat belt programs would be conducted, and in the two selected
comparison locations. As of the time of this Notice, the program and
comparison locations have not been selected. Over the total data
collection effort, a total of 9,600 licensed drivers eighteen years and
older would be surveyed, including 4,800 for each program. Based upon
precision estimates, the target sample for the awareness survey
questionnaire is 4,800, with 2,400 in each location. However, because
NHTSA has estimated a 50% response rate based upon previously conducted
data collections of a similar nature, NHTSA is estimating that a total
of 9,600 potential participants would need to be administered a
recruitment questionnaire in order to find 4,800 eligible volunteers to
completed the target number of awareness survey questionnaires. NHTSA
estimates that each recruitment questionnaire would take 5 minutes and
that each awareness survey questionnaire would take an additional 10
minutes to complete.
    Throughout the data collection, the privacy of all participants
would be protected. Names, addresses, phone numbers, and email
addresses would not be collected. The only information that would be
collected would be participant zip code and demographic
characteristics, such as age, gender, race, and ethnicity. Zip code
would need to be collected to match the participant with either the
program or comparison location to ensure that the measured change in
public awareness could be associated with the program activity.
Demographic information would need to be collected to conduct post-
stratification weighting of the sample to U.S Census data to reduce
sample bias. All collected data would be stored in restricted folders
on secure password protected servers that are only accessible to
research personnel with needed access to such information. In addition,
all data collected from participants would be reported in aggregate,
and individual participants

would not be independently reported on in any reports resulting from
this project.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of Information--NHTSA estimates that the
total time for each respondent to participate in the data collection
effort would either be 5 minutes or 15 minutes depending on eligibility
and desire to participate. NHTSA estimates a 50% response rate, in
which case 9,600 potential participants would to be administered the
recruitment questionnaire in order to find 4,800 eligible volunteers to
complete the awareness survey questionnaire. The total burden for the
participants that would only complete the recruitment questionnaire
would be 400 hours (i.e., 5 minutes x 4,800). The total burden for the
participants that would complete the recruitment questionnaire and the
awareness survey questionnaire would be 1,200 hours (i.e., 15 minutes x
4,800). The total burden for all participants would be 1,600 hours
(i.e., 400 + 1,200). Because participants would be sampled from
Department of Motor Vehicles Offices while they are waiting for
service, participation would not include any participant reporting
cost, record keeping cost, or record keeping burden.
    Comments are invited on the following:
    (i) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for
the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed information collection;
    (iii) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
    (iv) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.

II. Prior Diazinon Tolerance Rulemaking

    On May 21, 2008 (73 FR 29456) (FRL-8362-1), EPA proposed the
revocation of the tolerance for residues of diazinon, (O, O-diethyl O-
(6-methyl-2-(1-methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl]- phosphorothioate; CAS Reg.
No. 333-41-5) in/on the food commodity mushroom at 0.75 parts per
million (ppm) in 40 CFR 180.153(a) because a previous registration for
the use of diazinon in mushroom houses had been canceled due in part to
worker risk concerns.
    The preamble of the proposed rule stated the following:
    This proposed rule provides a comment period of 60 days for any
person to state an interest in retaining a tolerance proposed for
revocation. If EPA receives a comment within the 60-day period to
that effect, EPA will not proceed to revoke the tolerance
immediately.

    Within the 60-day comment period, the American Mushroom Institute
(AMI) submitted a comment in response to the proposed rule requesting
the Agency retain the diazinon tolerance on mushrooms stating that AMI
is working to submit a new registration reinstating the use of diazinon
in mushroom houses. AMI also stated that diazinon remains a valuable
and unique pest management tool in mushroom production facilities, and
indicated that an application would be filed to reinstate the canceled
mushroom house use.
    On September 10, 2008 (73 FR 52607) (FRL-8379-9), EPA issued a
final rule revoking the tolerance for residues of diazinon on mushrooms
at 0.75 ppm (among others), effective immediately. The Agency
acknowledged AMI's comment, nonetheless declining to maintain the
tolerance because AMI had not stated an immediate need for the
tolerance, stating that ``there are no current or pending uses of
diazinon in mushroom houses and no resolution of the exposure risk to
workers during application at this time.''

III. AMI Objection

    On November 4, 2008, AMI filed an objection to the tolerance
rulemaking pursuant to 21 U.S.C. 346a(g)(2)(A), objecting to the
revocation of the mushroom tolerance. AMI's basis for the objection is
the statement in Unit I.C. of the proposed rule that EPA would not
proceed to immediately revoke a tolerance where someone indicates an
interest in retaining the tolerance.

IV. Order on Objection

    The basis for AMI's objection is sound. Given EPA's commitment in
the proposed rule not to immediately

revoke the tolerance if a comment was filed requesting that the
tolerance be retained, EPA erred by immediately revoking the mushroom
tolerance for diazinon notwithstanding AMI's comment expressing an
interest in retaining the tolerance. However, EPA did not commit in the
proposed rule to an indefinite retention of the tolerance. Accordingly,
EPA, by this final rule, and pursuant to FFDCA section 408(g)(2)(C), is
amending the diazinon tolerance in 40 CFR 180.153(a) to reflect that
the tolerance for mushrooms at 0.75 ppm is reinstated and will remain
in effect until September 10, 2010. This will allow a reasonable period
of time for either a person to successfully apply for a registration to
bring back the use in mushroom houses, or for some existing registrant
to obtain an amendment to an existing registration to bring back this
use. If EPA approves an application reinstating the mushroom house use
before the expiration date of September 10, 2010, EPA will either amend
the tolerance to remove the expiration date or promulgate a new
tolerance as appropriate. If no such registration action has occurred
prior to that date, the revocation of the tolerance on mushrooms will
become effective on September 10, 2010.

V. Conclusion

    Therefore, pursuant to FFDCA section 408(g)(2)(C), the tolerance
for the residues of diazinon, (O, O-diethyl O-(6-methyl-2-(1-
methylethyl)-4-pyrimidinyl]- phosphorothioate; CAS Reg. No. 333-41-5),
in or on the food commodity mushroom at 0.75 ppm is reinstated until
September 10, 2010.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    EPA included the required statutory discussion in the September 10,
2008 final rule (72 FR 52607).

VII. Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the Agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and
the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report
containing this rule 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.
This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want and probably will respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my life and lives of members of my family. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

II. Background

    On April 27, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to renew exemptions for 3 individuals from the hearing standard in 49
CFR 391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV in interstate commerce and requested
comments from the public (83 FR 18623). The public comment period ended
on May 29, 2018, and no comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that renewing these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to driver a CMV if that person first perceives a forced
whispered voice in the better ear at not less than 5 feet with or
without the use of a hearing aid or, if tested by use of an audiometric
device, does not have an average hearing loss in the better ear greater
than 40 decibels at 500 Hz, 1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a
hearing aid when the audiometric device is calibrated to American
National Standard (formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5--1951.
    49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in 1970, with a revision in 1971
to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a
hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3,
1971).

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 3 renewal exemption applications,
FMCSA announces its' decision to exempt the following drivers from the
hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11):
    As of March 27, 2018, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and
31315, the following 3 individuals have satisfied the renewal
conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing requirement in
the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers (FR 83 18623).
    Marquarius Boyd, (MS); Keith Craig Drown, (ID); and James Gooch,
(KS).
    The drivers were included in docket number FMCSA-2013-0124 and
FMCSA 2013-0125.
    Their exemptions are applicable as of March 27, 2018, and will
expire on March 27, 2020.
    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315, each exemption will be valid
for two years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.
