Dear Secretary Huffman:

On August 7, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency received a
revision to the West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) from the
Department of Environmental Protection.  This SIP revision requests
redesignation of the Martinsburg-Hagerstown, WV-MD 1997 annual fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) nonattainment area to attainment and approval
of the Area’s maintenance plan.  EPA has determined that the submittal
is administratively and technically complete, and is reviewing it to
prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Ms.
Rose Quinto, Office of Air Program Planning at<PHONE_NUMBER> or at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS> She is the principal contact for this rulemaking.

	     Sincerely,

        /s/

Diana Esher, Director

USDA Comments on the Draft Allocation Rule 1) Penalties: While we appreciate EPA's efforts to lower the potential maximum penalty by basing violations on a " per 50 kg" basis rather a " per 1 kg" basis, the proposed maximum is still excessive for most, if not all, agricultural operations. We believe that an effective deterrent to misapplication can be achieved with a much lower maximum penalty that would also avoid creating a negative reaction within the agricultural community. A maximum penalty of $ 195,000/ acre as outlined in the draft will almost certainly draw the ire of many methyl bromide users and it is not at all clear that additional animosity will help achieve EPA's goals. This seems especially the case given that non CUE users can, in the short term, purchase and use MeBr from existing stocks with no limitations or potential penalty.

2) Available Stocks: Because of the CBI nature of the data that drive the calculation, we cannot comment on the data and assumptions used in the algorithm. Given likely uncertainties in the data, we encourage EPA to factor uncertainty into the calculation and present a range. The policy choice of a single cap number within that range should then be made clear.

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-2B16 (CL-604 Variant) airplanes. This AD
was prompted by multiple reports of short circuit events during pre-
delivery inspections and test flights, one of which resulted in smoke
in the cockpit. This AD requires replacing or relocating of certain
circuit breaker panel (CBP) bus bars on certain airplanes, inspecting
for any loose or improperly crimped lugs in certain electrical panel
locations and replacement if necessary, and inspection for foreign
object damage in certain areas and removal if necessary. We are issuing
this AD to prevent arcing, damage to adjacent structure, smoke in the
cockpit, or loss of system redundancies.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 29, 2012.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of May 29, 2012.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on October 26, 2011 (76
FR 66203). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    During pre-delivery inspections and test flights, several short
circuit events were reported, one of which resulted in smoke in the
cockpit. There were no in-service incidents.
    Investigations have identified three conditions affecting the
wiring of Circuit Breaker Panels 1, 2, 3 and 4 (CBP-1, CBP-2, CBP-3,
and CBP-4) and Junction Boxes 17 and 18 (JB17 and JB18), which would
lead to short circuiting:
    1. In CBP-1, there may be low clearance between specific bus
bars and the circuit breaker panel structure.
    2. Some nickel-plated terminal lugs, size number 22-20 with a
green insulating sleeve, may not have been manufactured to
applicable standards. These terminal lugs may have been installed in
CBP-1, CBP-2, CBP-3, CBP-4, JB17 and JB18. This manufacturing defect
affects the mechanical hold of the wire in the crimped lug barrel.
    3. In JB17, JB18 and the above-mentioned CBPs, foreign object
debris (FOD) may be found.
    If not corrected, these conditions could result in arcing,
damage to adjacent structure, smoke in the cockpit, or loss of
system redundancies.
    This TCCA directive is issued to mandate the replacement or
relocation of the specific CBP-1 bus bars, the [detailed]
inspection, and rework if necessary, of any loose or improperly
crimped lugs in CBP-1, CBP-2, CBP-3, CBP-4, JB17 and JB18, and to
ensure there is no FOD in the affected areas [via a general visual
inspection for FOD, and removal if necessary].

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comment received.

Request To Change Applicability

    Bombardier, Inc. requested the applicability be revised to remove
the CL-601-3A and CL-601-3R Variant airplanes, since only the CL-604
Variant is affected.
    We agree because only the CL-604 Variant is affected. We have
changed the preamble and paragraph (c) of this final rule to specify
only the CL-604 Variant.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comment received, and

determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting the
AD with the change described previously and minor editorial changes to
the paragraph identifier format. We determined that these changes will
not increase the economic burden on any operator or increase the scope
of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 69 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it will take about 6 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $347 per product.
Where the service information lists required parts costs that are
covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge
for these parts. As we do not control warranty coverage for affected
parties, some parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based
on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators
to be $59,133, or $857 per product.

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 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 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM (76 FR 66203, October 26,
2011), the regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other
information. The street address for the Docket Operations office
(telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES section. Comments will
be available in the AD docket shortly after receipt.

[Docket No. USCG-2022-0805]

Safety Zones in Reentry Sites; Jacksonville, Daytona, Cape
Canaveral, Florida

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notification of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is activating three safety zones for the
SpaceX Commercial Crew-4 mission, reentry vehicle splashdown, and
recovery operations. These operations will occur in the U.S. Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ). Our regulation for safety zones in reentry sites
within the Seventh Coast Guard District identifies the regulated areas
for this event. No U.S.-flagged

vessel may enter the safety zones unless authorized by the Captain of
the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative. Foreign-flagged
vessels are encouraged to remain outside the safety zones.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.T07-0289 will be enforced for the
safety zones identified in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section below
for the dates and times specified.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email MST2 Shawn Keeman, Waterways Management Division, U.S.
Coast Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: With this document, the Coast Guard Captain
of the Port (COTP) Jacksonville is activating three safety zones as
listed in 33 CFR 165.T07-0289(a)(1) through (3), on October 13, 2022,
through October 17, 2022, for the SpaceX Commercial Crew-4 mission
(Crew-4), reentry vehicle splashdown, and the associated recovery
operations in the U.S. EEZ. These three safety zones are located within
the COTP Jacksonville Area of Responsibility (AOR) offshore of
Jacksonville, Daytona, and Cape Canaveral, Florida. The COTP
Jacksonville is activating these safety zones in order to protect
vessels and waterway users from the potential hazards created by
reentry vehicle splashdowns and recovery operations. In accordance with
the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165, subpart C, no U.S.-flagged
vessel may enter the safety zones unless authorized by the COTP
Jacksonville or a designated representative except as provided in Sec.
165.T07-0289(d)(3). All foreign-flagged vessels are encouraged to
remain outside the safety zones.
    There are two other safety zones listed in Sec.  165.T07-0289(a)(4)
through (5), which are located within the COTP St. Petersburg AOR, that
are being simultaneously activated through a separate notification of
enforcement of the regulation document issued under Docket Number USCG-
2022-0807.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This notification of enforcement of the regulation can be
found at: https://regulations.gov by searching for docket number
USCG-2022-0807.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Twenty-four hours prior to the Crew-4 recovery operations scheduled
on October 13, 2022, the COTP Jacksonville or COTP St. Petersburg, or
designated representative will inform the public whether any of the
five safety zones described in Sec.  165.T07-0289(a) will remain
activated (subject to enforcement). If one of the safety zones
described in Sec.  165.T07-0289(a) remains activated, it will be
enforced for four hours prior to the Crew-4 splashdown and remain
activated until announced by Broadcast Notice to Mariners on VHF-FM
channel 16, and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletin (as appropriate)
that the safety zone is no longer subject to enforcement. After the
Crew-4 reentry vehicle splashdown, the COTP or a designated
representative will grant general permission to come no closer than 3
nautical miles of any reentry vehicle or space support vessel engaged
in the recovery operations, within the activated safety zone described
in Sec.  165.T07-0289(a). Once the reentry vehicle, and any personnel
involved in reentry service, are removed from the water and secured
onboard a space support vessel, the COTP or designated representative
will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners on VHF-FM channel 16
announcing the activated safety zone is no longer subject to
enforcement. The recovery operations are expected to last approximately
one hour.
    The Coast Guard may be assisted by other Federal, State, or local
law enforcement agencies in enforcing this regulation.

    Dated: October 7, 2022.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 25

[Docket No. FAA-2018-0469; Special Conditions No. 25-727-SC]

Special Conditions: Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-2A12 and Model
BD-700-2A13 Airplanes; Autobrake System Structural Loads

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final special conditions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: These special conditions are issued for the Bombardier Inc.
Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes. This airplane will
have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of
technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport
category airplanes. This design feature is an autobrake system that
allows earlier braking at landing without pedal input from the pilot.
The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special
conditions contain the additional safety standards that the
Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety
equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

DATES: This action is effective on Bombardier on May 30, 2018. Send
comments on or before July 16, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified by Docket No. FAA-2018-0469 using
any of the following methods:

Innovation Division, Aircraft Certification Service, Federal Aviation
Administration, 2200 South 216th Street, Des Moines, Washington 98198;
telephone and fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for prior public comment on, these special conditions is
impracticable because these procedures would significantly delay
issuance of the design approval and thus delivery of the affected
airplanes.
    In addition, the substance of these special conditions has been
published in the Federal Register for public comment in several prior
instances with no substantive comments received. The FAA, therefore,
finds it unnecessary to delay the effective date and finds that good
cause exists for making these special conditions effective upon
publication in the Federal Register.

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive by the closing date for
comments. We may change these special conditions based on the comments
we receive.

Background

    On May 30, 2012, Bombardier Inc. (Bombardier) applied for an
amendment to Type Certificate No. T00003NY to include new Model BD-700-
2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes. These airplanes, which are
derivatives of the BD-700 series airplanes currently approved under
Type Certificate No. T00003NY, are marketed as the Bombardier Global
7000 and Global 8000, respectively. These airplanes are twin engine,
transport category, executive interior business jets with a maximum
certified passenger capacity of 19. The maximum takeoff weight for the
Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 is 106,250 pounds and 104,800
pounds, respectively.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Bombardier must show that the Model BD-700-2A12 and Model
BD-700-2A13 airplanes meet the applicable provisions of the regulations
listed in Type Certificate No. T00003NY, or the applicable regulations
in effect on the date of application for the change, except for earlier
amendments as agreed upon by the FAA.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and
Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes because of a novel or unusual design
feature, special conditions are prescribed under the provisions of
Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same novel or
unusual design feature, or should any other model already included on
the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would also apply to
the other model under Sec.  21.101.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13
airplanes must comply with the fuel vent and exhaust emission
requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and the noise certification requirements
of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes
will incorporate the following novel or unusual design feature:
    The autobrake system on the Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and Model
BD-700-2A13 airplanes is a pilot-selectable function that allows
earlier braking at landing without pedal input from the pilot. When the
pilot arms the autobrake system before landing, the system
automatically commands braking when the main wheels touch down. This
might cause a high nose gear sink rate, and potentially higher gear and
airframe loads than would occur with a traditional braking system.

Discussion

    These special conditions define a landing pitchover condition that
accounts for the effects of the autobrake system. The special
conditions define the airplane configuration, speeds, and other
parameters necessary to develop airframe and nose gear loads for this
condition. The special conditions require that the airplane be designed
to support the resulting limit and ultimate loads as defined in Sec.
25.305, ``Strength and deformation.''
    These special conditions contain the additional safety standards
that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of
safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness
standards.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Bombardier Inc. Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes.
Should Bombardier apply at a later date for a change to the type
certificate to include another model incorporating the same novel or
unusual design feature, these special conditions would apply to that
model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only a certain novel or unusual design feature
on Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and Model BD-700-2A13 airplanes. It is
not a rule of general applicability.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

Authority Citation

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(f), 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the

Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for Bombardier Model BD-700-2A12 and Model
BD-700-2A13 airplanes.

Autobraking System Structural Loads

    A landing pitchover condition must be addressed that takes into
account the effect of the autobrake system. The airplane is assumed to
be at the design maximum landing weight, or at the maximum weight
allowed with the autobrake system on. The airplane is assumed to land
in a tail-down attitude at the speeds defined by Sec.  25.481.
Following main gear contact, the airplane is assumed to rotate about
the main gear wheels at the highest pitch rate generated by the
autobrake system. This is considered a limit load condition from which
ultimate loads must also be determined. Loads must be determined for a
critical fuel and payload distribution and centers of gravity. Nose
gear loads, as well as airframe loads, must be determined. The airplane
must support these loads as described in Sec.  25.305.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Benefit-Risk Assessment for New Drug and Biological
Products.'' This guidance articulates important considerations that
factor into the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research and the Center
for Biologics Evaluation and Research's benefit-risk assessments for
drug products, including how patient experience data may be used to
inform benefit-risk assessment. It discusses how sponsors can inform
FDA's benefit-risk assessment through the design and conduct of the
development program, as well as how they may present benefit and risk
information in the marketing application. It also discusses
opportunities for interaction between FDA and sponsors to discuss
benefit-risk considerations in connection with the development of a BLA
or NDA. The guidance concludes with additional considerations on
benefit-risk assessments that inform regulatory decision making that
occurs in the postmarket setting.
    Industry stakeholders have indicated having a clearer understanding
of FDA's decision making context, and benefit-risk considerations can
help inform sponsors' decisions about their drug development programs
and the evidence they generate in support of their NDA or BLA. Patients
and other stakeholders may gain further insight into the key issues
that inform FDA's assessment of benefit and risk, and a clearer
understanding of how these issues fit into the regulatory framework of
drug development and evaluation.
    In May 2019, FDA participated in a public meeting conducted by Duke
University's Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy (Duke-
Margolis) on ``Characterizing FDA's Approach to Benefit-Risk Assessment
Throughout the Medical Product Life Cycle'' (84 FR 17176, April 24,
2019). Materials from this meeting are available here: https://healthpolicy.duke.edu/events/public-meeting-characterizing-fdas-approach-benefit-risk-assessment-throughout-medical. This meeting was
intended to gather industry, patient, researcher, and other stakeholder
input on applying FDA's benefit-risk framework throughout the human
drug lifecycle and best approaches to communicating FDA's benefit-risk
assessment. This meeting was intended to meet an FDA commitment
included in the sixth authorization of the PDUFA VI. Input from this
meeting supported development of this draft guidance for industry.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on ``Benefit-Risk
Assessment for New Drug and Biological Products.'' It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Additional Information

    Section 3002 of Title III, Subtitle A of the Cures Act (Pub. L.
114-255), directs FDA to develop patient-focused drug development
guidance to address a number of areas, including under section
3002(c)(8) of the Cures Act how the Secretary, if appropriate,
anticipates using relevant patient experience data and related
information, including with respect to the structured risk-benefit
assessment framework described in section 505(d) of the FD&C Act (21
U.S.C. 355(d)), to inform regulatory decision making.
    In addition, FDA committed to meet certain performance goals under
the sixth authorization of PDUFA. These goal commitments were developed
in consultation with patient and consumer advocates, healthcare
professionals, and other public stakeholders, as part of negotiations
with regulated industry. Section I.J.2. of the commitment letter,
``Enhancing Benefit-Risk Assessment in Regulatory Decision-Making''
(available at https://www.fda.gov/media/99140/download), outlines work,
including the

development of a draft guidance on benefit-risk assessments for new
drugs and biologics, to further the Agency's implementation of
structured benefit-risk assessment, including the incorporation of the
patient's voice in drug development and decision making, in the human
drug review program.

III. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    While this guidance contains no collection of information, it does
refer to previously approved FDA collections of information. Therefore,
clearance by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521) is not
required for this guidance. The previously approved collections of
information are subject to review by OMB under the PRA. The collections
of information in 21 CFR part 314 have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0001 as follows: (1) The content and format of
investigational new drugs applications, (2) expanded access uses and
treatment of patients with immediately life-threatening conditions or
serious diseases or conditions, (3) regulatory requirements pertaining
to postmarketing study commitments, and (4) risk evaluation and
mitigation strategies pertaining to benefit-risk assessments. The
collections of information in 21 CFR part 312 have been approved under
OMB control number 0910-0014 as follows: (1) The content and format of
NDAs, (2) the submission of the patient population, (3) the submission
of clinical trial data, and (4) benefit-risk planning, including early
consultations with FDA meetings in end-of-phase 2 and pre-NDA meetings.
The collections of information for good laboratory practices for
nonclinical laboratory studies have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0119. The collections of information for the submission of
postmarketing adverse drug experience reporting have been approved
under OMB control number 0910-0230. The collections of information in
21 CFR 201.56 and 201.57 for the content and format requirements for
labeling of drugs and biologics have been approved under OMB control
number 0910-0572. The collections of information in the guidance for
industry entitled ``Expedited Programs for Serious Conditions--Drugs
and Biologics'' have been approved under OMB control number 0910-0765.
The collections of information in the guidance for industry entitled
``Providing Postmarket Periodic Safety Reports in the International
Conference on Harmonisation E2C(R2) Format (Periodic Benefit-Risk
Evaluation Report)'' have been approved under OMB control number 0910-
0771.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2018-0136]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Hearing

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt 30 individuals from the
hearing requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) to operate a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate
commerce. The exemptions enable these hard of hearing and deaf
individuals to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on December 16, 2018. The
exemptions expire on December 16, 2020.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,

of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On November 14, 2018, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt
of applications from 30 individuals requesting an exemption from the
hearing requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (83 FR
56897). The public comment period ended on December 14, 2018, and two
comments were received.
    FMCSA has evaluated the eligibility of these applicants and
determined that granting exemptions to these individuals 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 drive 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 two comments in this preceeding. An anonymous
commenter noted that he does not see an issue in allowing the
applicants an exemption, since previous applicants have been granted
exemptions. Billy Gann of Plymouth, Indiana noted that he has a hearing
exemption and medical certificate.
Basis for Exemption Determination
    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
for up to five years from the hearing standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11)
if the exemption is likely to achieve an equivalent or greater level of
safety than would be achieved without the exemption. The exemption
allows the applicants to operate CMVs in interstate commerce. FMCSA
grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a two-year period to align with
the maximum duration of a driver's medical certification.
    The Agency's decision regarding these exemption applications is
based on current medical information and literature, and the 2008
Evidence Report, ``Executive Summary on Hearing, Vestibular Function
and Commercial Motor Driving Safety.'' The evidence report reached two
conclusions regarding the matter of hearing loss and CMV driver safety:
(1) No studies that examined the relationship between hearing loss and
crash risk exclusively among CMV drivers were identified; and (2)
evidence from studies of the private driver's license holder population
does not support the contention that individuals with hearing
impairment are at an increased risk for a crash. In addition, the
Agency reviewed each applicant's driving record found in the Commercial
Driver's License Information System (CDLIS), for commercial driver's
license (CDL) holders, and inspections recorded in the Motor Carrier
Management Information System (MCMIS). For non-CDL holders, the Agency
reviewed the driving records from the State Driver's Licensing Agency
(SDLA). Each applicant's record demonstrated a safe driving history.
Based on an individual assessment of each applicant that focused on
whether an equal or greater level of safety is likely to be achieved by
permitting each of these drivers to drive in interstate commerce as
opposed to restricting him or her to driving in intrastate commerce,
the Agency believes the drivers granted this exemption have
demonstrated that they do not pose a risk to public safety.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the hearing standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) is likely
to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing without the
exemption.

IV. Conditions and Requirements

    The terms and conditions of the exemption are provided to the
applicants in the exemption document and includes the following: (1)
Each driver must report any crashes or accidents as defined in 49 CFR
390.5; (2) each driver must report all citations and convictions for
disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR part 383 and 49 CFR 391 to FMCSA;
and (3) each driver is prohibited from operating a motorcoach or bus
with passengers in interstate commerce. The driver must also have a
copy of the exemption when driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local

enforcement official. In addition, the exemption does not exempt the
individual from meeting the applicable CDL testing requirements.

V. Preemption

    During the period the exemption is in effect, no State shall
enforce any law or regulation that conflicts with this exemption with
respect to a person operating under the exemption.

VI. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the 30 exemption applications, FMCSA
exempts the following drivers from the hearing standard, 49 CFR
391.41(b)(11), subject to the requirements cited above.

    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.

Completeness Finding
Determination of Completeness letter:  April 17, 2017

BACKGROUND  -  The Feather River Air Quality Management District (FRAQMD or "District") is a bi-county agency that administers local, state, and federal air quality management programs for Yuba and Sutter Counties. Portions of the District have been designated as Severe nonattainment for failure to meet the federal 8-hour ground-level ozone national ambient air quality standard. See 40 CFR 81.305.  The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the District to implement measures to reduce ozone precursors.  The District has committed as part of the 2009 Sacramento Regional 8-Hour Ozone Attainment and Reasonable Further Progress Plan ("Sacramento Regional 2009 Ozone Plan") to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the use and application of automotive coatings.

RULE  SUMMARY  -   Rule 3.14, Surface Preparation and Clean-Up (SP&CU) limits volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from operations associated with surface preparation, clean-up-and disposal of the materials used in SP&CU by using aqueous technologies, solutions using either compliant solvents and cleaning process techniques that limit VOC emissions.

The FRAQMD revised Rule 3.14 to strengthen the SIP by incorporating the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Suggested Control Measure (SCM) for Automotive Coatings and Components.  The SCM adopted by CARB on October 20, 2005, combined coating categories and established lower VOC limits. The SCM recommended lowering the VOC limit to 25 from 50 grams per liter for solvents used in surface preparation, cleanup and cleaning of application equipment.  Not only do the solvents have to be compliant with the District limits, but recordkeeping and application requirements have to be satisfied.

RULE REVISION  -  The following revisions were made to the SIP-approved rule:
1.  Lower the VOC limit to 25 grams per liter for solvents used in surface preparation and cleanup. (A.3.a.)
2.  Removes the 20 gallons or less use per calendar year exemption.
3.  Adds Prohibition of Possession and Prohibition of Sale or Manufacturer. (D.1. and D.2. respectively).
4.  Adds active and passive solvent losses. (B.1, B. 31, and F.9)

EVALUATION CRITERIA  -  The following criteria were used to evaluate the submitted rule:

1.  Enforceability  -  The Bluebook (Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations, EPA, May 25, 1988) and the Little Bluebook (Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule Deficiencies, EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001) were used to help evaluate compliance with the CAA §110(a)(2)(A) requirement for enforceability.

2.  Stringency  -  SIPs must require RACT for each category of sources covered by a Control Technique Guideline (CTG) document as well as each major source of NOx or VOCs in ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above (see sections 182(b)(2) and 182(f)).  Rule 3.14 was partially evaluated against EPA's Control Technique Guidelines (CTGs) titled, "Control of Volatile Organic Emissions from Solvent Metal Cleaning" (EPA-450/2-77-022, November 1977), "Control Techniques Guidelines for Industrial Cleaning Solvents" (EPA-453/R-06-001 September 2006), "Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions from Coating Operations at Aerospace manufacturing and Rework Operations" (EEPA-453/R-97-004), CARB's RACT/BARCT guidance titled, "Organic Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing Operations" (July 18, 1991), and other state and local rules for this category to help evaluate stringency.

3.  SIP Revisions  -  CAA §110(l) prohibits EPA from approving any SIP revision that would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (RFP) or any other applicable requirement of the CAA. In addition, CAA §193 prohibits the modification of any SIP-approved control requirement in effect before November 15, 1990, in a nonattainment area, unless the modification ensures equivalent or greater emission reductions of the relevant pollutant(s).

EPA EVALUATION  - A summary of our evaluation of the three criteria follows.
1.   Enforceability  -  Rule 3.14 requirements and applicability are clear, and the monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting and other provisions sufficiently ensure that affected sources and regulators can consistently evaluate and determine compliance with the rule.

2.   Stringency  -  The submitted rule lowers the VOC content limits to 25 grams per liter for solvents used in surface preparation and cleanup, removes the 20 gallons or less use per calendar year exemption, and prohibits the possession, manufacture, or sell of noncompliant products, making it more stringent than the SIP-approved rule.  As a result, we propose to determine that this rule fulfills RACT requirements.

3.   SIP Revisions  -  We propose to determine that our approval of the submittal would comply with CAA §§110(l) and 193 because (1) the proposed SIP revision would not interfere with any CAA requirements, including requirements for RFP and attainment of the NAAQS, and (2) the emission limits in the submitted rule are more stringent than the existing SIP-approved control requirements that they would replace.

RULE DEFICIENCIES  -  We have identified no deficiencies with Rule 3.14 sufficient for EPA to propose less than full approval.

EPA RECOMMENDATION
The following revision is not currently the basis for rule disapproval but is recommended for the next time the rule is amended:
      1.  Lower the VOC content limit for Aerospace Component product cleaning in paragraph C.1, Table 1, from 900 grams/liter (g/l) to 200 g/l or <= 45 mm Hg consistent with South Coast AQMD Rule 1171.

EPA ACTION
Rule 3.14 strengthens the SIP because Product Cleaning and Product Cleaning of Application Equipment VOC content limit was lowered from 50 g/l to 25 g/l. making it more stringent than the SIP-approved rule regulating surface preparation and clean-up with solvents.  The FRAQMD projects that Rule 3.14 will result in a reduction of 1.5 tons of VOC per year in the Sacramento Federal Nonattainment Area (SFNA) portion of the district.  The remaining northern portion of FRAQMD is projected to achieve a 28 ton per year VOC reduction.  The rule satisfies relevant CAA §110 and part D requirements. EPA staff recommends full approval into the SIP.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 22, 2015, EPA proposed revisions
to a Federal implementation plan (FIP) addressing the requirement for
best available retrofit technology (BART) for taconite plants in
Minnesota and Michigan. In response to petitions for reconsideration,
we proposed to revise the nitrogen oxides (NOX) limits for
taconite furnaces at facilities owned and operated by Cliffs Natural
Resources (Cliffs) and ArcelorMittal USA LLC (ArcelorMittal). We also
proposed to revise the sulfur dioxide (SO2) requirements at
two of Cliffs' facilities. We proposed these changes because new
information had come to light that was not available when we originally
promulgated the FIP on February 6, 2013.

350-2550, and e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to Section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and State agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 14 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 14 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    This filing is accessible on-line at http://www.ferc.gov, using the
``eLibrary'' link and is available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an ``eSubscription''
