71169 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2002 / Notices One facet of EPA's overall approach to resolving the remaining water quality problems is the continued implementation of the national effluent guidelines program to address water quality problems associated with industrial dischargers. As EPA moves forward to address the remaining water quality problems, EPA invites comment on whether it should devote the same, less, or greater resources to the effluent guidelines program as it has in the past.

VI. Public Meeting An important first step in the planning process is to consult with authorized States and Tribes, pretreatment control authorities, and professional associations to obtain their recommendations on revising existing effluent guidelines and identifying industries for new guidelines. These stakeholders can help identify water quality concerns related to industrial categories as well as changes in industries which affect the administration and effectiveness of existing regulations. EPA recognizes that there are other stakeholders who also may have concerns or data indicating the need for new or revised regulations, or revisions to EPA's draft Strategy. Therefore, the Agency will hold a public meeting on Wednesday, January 15 from 9 a. m. to noon, to discuss the goals and the elements of the draft Strategy. This informational meeting will be held in the EPA East Building, Room 1153, 1201 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. No registration is required for this meeting. If you need special accommodations at this meeting, please contact Pat Harrigan at ( 202) 566   1666 or harrigan. patricia@ epa. gov at least five business days before the meeting so that appropriate arrangements can be made. For security reasons, we request that you bring photo identification with you to the meeting. Also, if you let us know in advance of your plans to attend, it will expedite the process of signing in. Seating will be provided on a first come, first served basis. Please note that parking is very limited in downtown Washington, and use of public transit is recommended. The EPA Headquarters complex is located near the Federal Triangle Metro station. Upon exiting the Metro station, walk east to 12th Street. On 12th Street, walk south to Constitution Avenue. At the corner, turn right onto Constitution Avenue and proceed to the EPA East Building entrance. During the meeting, EPA will present an overview of the draft Strategy, including the factors the Agency expects to consider and the cycle of steps involved in its application. EPA will also allow time for questions and answers during these sessions. The Agency also encourages participants to identify and provide supporting data and/ or rationales on existing effluent guidelines that EPA should consider revising, or on any industrial categories for which the Agency should consider developing new effluent guidelines. This meeting is not a public hearing for the purpose of obtaining comment on the draft Strategy. EPA will not generate a transcript of the meeting. The public may submit written comments as described in the `` How to Submit Comments'' section above.

VII. Industrial Wastewater and Best Available Treatment Technologies Conference EPA has established effluent limitation guidelines and pretreatment standards for more than 50 industries. ( A list of the currently regulated industries is provided in the draft Strategy at appendix 1, which can be found on EPA's Web site at http:// www. epa. gov/ guide/ strategy.) Over the last 30 years, these industries have accumulated much expertise and experience in wastewater treatment process design and operation to comply with these regulations. Vanderbilt University and the U. S. EPA are cosponsoring a technical conference to provide a forum to share experiences with process design and regulatory compliance. Representatives of academia, government, and industry are invited to convene to examine and discuss industry trends and technology advances as they affect regulatory compliance and sustainable growth. Participants will have the opportunity to both provide and obtain information on state of the art techniques for addressing their water pollution control activities. These may include improvements to traditional wastewater treatment processes as well as process changes and best management practices that lead to reductions in pollutant generation. The BAT conference will be held from February 26 through February 28, 2003 at the Nashville Marriott at Vanderbilt University, located at 2555 West End Avenue, Nashville, Tennessee, 37203. Registration is required. More information, including registration and specific topics, is available at http:// frontweb. vuse. vanderbilt. edu/ bat/, or contact Jan Matuszko at ( 202) 566   1035 or e mail her at matuszko. jan@ epa. gov.

II. Summary The draft guidance ( Evaluating the Vapor Intrusion to Indoor Air Pathway From Groundwater and Soils) examines a single exposure pathway   the `` vapor intrusion pathway.'' It is intended to be a screening tool to aid users in determining whether a vapor intrusion pathway is complete and, if so, whether the completed pathway poses an unacceptable risk to human health. A complete pathway means that humans are exposed to vapors originating from site contamination. The draft guidance begins with simple and generally reasonable conservative screening approaches and gradually progresses toward a more complex assessment involving increasingly greater use of site specific data. For those sites determined to have an incomplete vapor intrusion pathway, further consideration of the current site situation generally should not be needed. For those sites determined to have a complete pathway, guidance is provided to evaluate whether the pathway does or does not pose a potential significant risk to human health. This draft guidance is not intended to provide recommendations to delineate the extent of risk or eliminate the risk. Its sole purpose is to determine if there is a potential for an unacceptable risk. EPA generally recommends reevaluation of those sites that are screened out if site conditions or land use changes in a way that might alter a decision to screen out, or other new information suggests greater conservatism is appropriate in assessing the vapor intrusion pathway. Because this is a draft guidance document, not a regulation, it is not subject to the notice and comment requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act. Nonetheless, EPA is choosing, in its discretion, to solicit comments on the document in the interest of developing the most accurate, useful guidance document.

III. At What Sites Are We Currently Suggesting You Use This Guidance? EPA suggests that you use this draft guidance at RCRA Corrective Action, CERCLA ( National Priorities List and Superfund Alternative Sites), and Brownfields sites, but, at this time, we do not recommended it for use at Subtitle I Underground Storage Tank ( UST) sites. We recommend that State and Regional UST corrective action programs continue to use a risk based decision making approach as described in OSWER Directive 9610.17: Use of Risk Based Decision Making in UST Corrective Action Program to address this pathway at UST sites.

IV. Data Evaluation Vapor intrusion is a rapidly developing field of science and policy and this draft guidance is intended to aid in evaluating the potential for human exposure from this pathway given the state of the science at this time. EPA will continue to explore this area in efforts to improve the state ofthe science of this complex exposure pathway. A workgroup of EPA and State representatives is currently being organized to evaluate this pathway over the next several years. As the state ofthe science improves, this guidance will be revised as appropriate. EPA and State site managers are encouraged to contact EPA's Office of Solid Waste ( OSW) to join the workgroup and/ or provide the workgroup with relevant site information that can be added to the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response ( OSWER) database to facilitate these efforts.

V. Will This Draft Guidance Supersede Existing Guidance? This draft guidance supersedes the draft RCRA EI Supplemental Guidance for Evaluating the Vapor Intrusion to VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 17: 29 Nov 27, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 29NON1. SGM 29NON1 71172 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 230 / Friday, November 29, 2002 / Notices Indoor Air Pathway ( December 2001). It does not supersede State guidance. However, EPA believes that States will find this guidance useful and anticipates that States will consider this draft guidance when evaluating the vapor intrusion pathway. Additionally, the lead regulatory authority for a site may determine that criteria other than those recommended in this draft guidance are more appropriate for the specific site or area. For example, sitespecific indoor air criteria may differ from the generic indoor air criteria generally recommended in this guidance and, consequently, the corresponding soil gas or groundwater screening levels may differ. Also, the site specific relationship between indoor air concentrations and subsurface soil gas or groundwater concentrations may differ from that assumed in developing this guidance. Therefore, we suggest that the first step generally should be to consult with the lead regulatory authority to identify the most appropriate approach for evaluation of any potential vapor intrusion to indoor air pathway.

VI. When Do We Recommend You Start Using This Draft Guidance?

EPA recommends that you consider the use of this draft guidance now. Although the document is still in draft and EPA is requesting comment on it, it has gone through extensive internal and inter agency review, and we believe it is a technically sound product. While we hope to receive useful comments that will result in improvements when the draft is finalized, we believe the document in its current state provides the best guidance and information currently available on these issues. Please recognize that this is a guidance document, not a regulation. This document presents current technical and policy recommendations of the Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response, based EPA's current understanding of the subsurface vapor intrusion. EPA personnel ( and of course, states) are free to use and accept other technically sound approaches, either on their own initiative, or at the suggestion of responsible parties or other interested parties. In addition, personnel who use this guidance document are free to modify the approach recommended in this guidance. This guidance document does not impose any requirements or obligations on EPA, states, or the regulated community. Rather, the sources of authority and requirements for addressing subsurface vapor intrusion are the relevant statutes and regulations ( e. g., RCRA, CERCLA and the NCP).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This rulemaking is

promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it would modify
Class E airspace extending up to and including 700 feet above the
surface area at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field, Wayne, NE, in
support of the instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at the
airport. The geographic coordinates of the airport also will be updated
to be in concert with the FAA's aeronautical database.

History

    The FAA published in the Federal Register (82 FR 22924, May 19,
2017) Docket No. FAA-2017-0287 a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to modify Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field (formally the Wayne
Municipal Airport), Wayne, NE. Subsequent to the publication of the
NPRM, the FAA found that the airport name had a name change to Wayne
Municipal/Stan Morris Field from the Wayne Municipal Airport.
Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11B, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11B, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2017, and effective September 15,
2017. FAA Order 7400.11B is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 6.5-mile radius (reduced from a 7.5-mile radius)
of Wayne Municipal/Stan Morris Field, Wayne, NE. Airspace redesign of
standard instrument approach procedures is necessary for IFR operations
at the airport due to the decommissioning of the Wayne NDB, and
cancellation of the NDB approach. The name and geographic coordinates
of the airport also are updated to be in concert with the FAA's
aeronautical database. This action enhances the safety and management
of the standard instrument approach procedures for IFR operations at
the airport.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (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); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
