ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0475; FRL- 9466-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia; 2002 Base Year Emission
Inventory, Reasonable Further Progress Plan, Contingency Measures,
Reasonably Available Control Measures, and Transportation Conformity
Budgets for the Washington, DC 1997 8-Hour Moderate Ozone Nonattainment
Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland, and the
Commonwealth of Virginia (the States). These revisions pertain to the
2002 base year emissions inventory, the reasonable further progress
(RFP) plan, RFP contingency measure, and reasonably available control
measure (RACM) requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the
Washington, DC-MD-VA moderate 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (the
Washington Area). EPA is also approving the 2008 transportation
conformity motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) associated with this
revision. EPA is approving the SIP revisions because they satisfy the
emission inventory, RFP, RACM, RFP contingency measures, and
transportation conformity requirements for areas classified as moderate
nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) and demonstrate further progress in reducing ozone
precursors. This action is being taken under the CAA.

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective on October 20,
2011.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0475. All documents in the docket are listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On June 30, 2011 (76 FR 38334), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the District of Columbia, the State of Maryland,
and the Commonwealth of Virginia. The NPR proposed approval of the 2002
base year emissions inventory, the RFP plan, RFP contingency measure,
and RACM analysis for the Washington, DC-MD-VA moderate 1997 8-hour
ozone

nonattainment area. These SIP elements were part of the ``Plan to
Improve Air Quality in the Washington, DC-MD-VA Region, State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for 8-Hour Ozone Standard, Moderate Area
SIP'' (the Washington Area 8-hour ozone plan), which the District of
Columbia Department of the Environment (DDOE), the Maryland Department
of the Environment (MDE), and the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality (VADEQ) developed jointly. The Washington Area 8-hour ozone
plan was formally submitted to EPA as a SIP revision by DDOE on June
12, 2007, by MDE on June 4, 2007, and by VADEQ on June 12, 2007. The
NPR also proposed approval of the transportation conformity 2008 MVEBs
associated with this revision.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The SIP revision addresses emissions inventory, RACM, RFP, and RFP
contingency measures requirements for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for
the Washington, DC-MD-VA 1997 8-hour moderate ozone nonattainment area.
The SIP revision also establishes MVEBs for 2008. Other specific
requirements of the Washington Area 8-hour ozone plan and the rationale
for EPA's proposed action are explained in the NPR and will not be
restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.

III. General Information Pertaining to SIP Submittals From the
Commonwealth of Virginia

    In 1995, Virginia adopted legislation that provides, subject to
certain conditions, for an environmental assessment (audit)
``privilege'' for voluntary compliance evaluations performed by a
regulated entity. The legislation further addresses the relative burden
of proof for parties either asserting the privilege or seeking
disclosure of documents for which the privilege is claimed. Virginia's
legislation also provides, subject to certain conditions, for a penalty
waiver for violations of environmental laws when a regulated entity
discovers such violations pursuant to a voluntary compliance evaluation
and voluntarily discloses such violations to the Commonwealth and takes
prompt and appropriate measures to remedy the violations. Virginia's
Voluntary Environmental Assessment Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-
1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and
information about the content of those documents that are the product
of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not
extend to documents or information (1) That are generated or developed
before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2)
that are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) that
demonstrate a clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public
health or environment; or (4) that are required by law.
    On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the
Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the
Privilege law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1198, precludes granting a privilege
to documents and information ``required by law,'' including documents
and information ``required by Federal law to maintain program
delegation, authorization or approval,'' since Virginia must ``enforce
Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less
stringent than their Federal counterparts.* * *'' The opinion concludes
that ``[r]egarding Sec.  10.1-1198, therefore, documents or other
information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of these
programs could not be privileged because such documents and information
are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required by Federal
law to maintain program delegation, authorization or approval.''
    Virginia's Immunity law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1199, provides that
``[t]o the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal
law,'' any person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a
State agency regarding a violation of an environmental statute,
regulation, permit, or administrative order is granted immunity from
administrative or civil penalty. The Attorney General's January 12,
1998 opinion states that the quoted language renders this statute
inapplicable to enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since
``no immunity could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal
penalties because granting such immunity would not be consistent with
Federal law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.''
    Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia's Privilege and
Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its
program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because
EPA has also determined that a state audit privilege and immunity law
can affect only state enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal
enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under
the CAA, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to
enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the state plan,
independently of any state enforcement effort. In addition, citizen
enforcement under section 304 of the CAA is likewise unaffected by
this, or any, state audit privilege or immunity law.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the 2002 base year emissions inventory; the 2008
ozone projected emission inventory; the 2008 RFP plan; RFP contingency
measures; RACM analysis; and 2008 transportation conformity budgets for
the Washington, DC-MD-VA 1997 8-hour moderate ozone nonattainment area,
and the Washington Area 8-hour ozone plan, which were submitted to EPA
as a SIP revision by DDOE on June 12, 2007, by MDE on June 4, 2007, and
by VADEQ on June 12, 2007. The SIP revision satisfies the requirements
for 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS nonattainment areas classified as moderate
and demonstrates further progress in reducing ozone precursors.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2017-0712; Directorate Identifier 2017-NM-014-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2016-13-
14, for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. AD
2016-13-14 requires an inspection to determine if certain left and
right main landing gear (MLG) retract actuator rod ends are installed
and repetitive liquid penetrant inspections (LPIs) of affected left and
right MLG retract actuator rod ends, and corrective actions if
necessary. Since we issued AD 2016-13-14, we have determined that
replacement of the left and right MLG is necessary to address the
unsafe condition. This proposed AD would retain the actions specified
in AD 2016-13-14 and add a replacement of the left and right MLG
retract actuator rod ends. We are proposing this AD to address the
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by September 11,
2017.

Discussion

    On June 22, 2016, we issued AD 2016-13-14, Amendment 39-18579 (81
FR 43481, July 5, 2016) (``AD 2016-13-14''), for certain Bombardier,
Inc., Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. AD 2016-13-14 was prompted by a
report of a cracked MLG retract actuator rod end. AD 2016-13-14
requires an inspection to determine if certain left and right MLG
retract actuator rod ends are installed and repetitive LPIs of affected
left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends, and corrective actions if
necessary. AD 2016-13-14 also provides optional terminating action for
the inspections. We issued AD 2016-13-14 to detect and correct fatigue
cracking of the left and right MLG retract actuator rod ends, which
could lead to left or right MLG collapse.
    The preamble to AD 2016-13-14 explains that we consider the
requirements ``interim action'' and were considering further
rulemaking. We now have determined that further rulemaking is indeed
necessary, and this proposed AD follows from that determination.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2016-16R1, dated June
27, 2016 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series
airplanes. The MCAI states:

    There has been a single reported case of a cracked MLG retract
actuator rod end in service. A supplier disclosure letter and
subsequent Bombardier analysis indicate that the MLG retract
actuator rod end P/N [part number] P3A2750 and P3A2750-1 may develop
fatigue cracking. This condition, if not corrected, could lead to
left hand (LH) or right hand (RH) MLG collapse.
    This [Canadian] AD mandates the inspection [to determine if
certain left and right main landing gear MLG retract actuator rod
ends are installed, repetitive LPIs of affected left and right MLG
retract actuator rod ends, and corrective actions if necessary], and
replacement of the LH and RH MLG retract actuator rod ends P/N
P3A2750 and

P3A2750-1 [which is terminating action for the repetitive LPIs].
    This [Canadian] AD was revised to clarify paragraph B. and C.
[of this Canadian AD], which specifies when the Liquid Penetrant
Inspections (LPI) should begin.

    Corrective actions includes replacing cracked MLG retract actuator
rod ends. You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the Internet at
http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No.
FAA-2017-0712.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued Bombardier Service Bulletin 84-32-142,
dated May 4, 2016. This service information describes procedures for an
inspection to determine if certain left and right MLG retract actuator
rod ends are installed, repetitive LPIs of the left and right MLG
retract actuator rod ends, and replacement of left and right MLG
retract actuator rod ends. This service information is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 52 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions required by AD 2016-13-14, and retained in this
proposed AD takes about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor
rate of $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost
of the inspection that is required by AD 2016-13-14 is $85 per product.
    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 $2,019
per product. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $118,248, or $2,274 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions will
take about 3 work-hours and require parts costing $2,019, for a cost of
$2,274 per product. We have no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these actions.
    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. We do not control warranty coverage for affected
individuals. As a result, we have included all costs in our cost
estimate.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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