14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2012-0078; Airspace Docket No. 12-AAL-1]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Brevig Mission, AK

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Brevig Mission
Airport, Brevig Mission, AK. Controlled airspace is necessary to
accommodate aircraft using the new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global
Positioning System (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures at the
airport. This action enhances the safety and management of aircraft
operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, May 29, 2014. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Roberts, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue SW., Renton, WA, 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On October 31, 2013, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
published in the Federal Register a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) to establish controlled airspace at Brevig Mission Airport,
Brevig Mission, AK (78 FR 65239). 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 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15,
2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Brevig Mission Airport, Brevig Mission, AK.
Controlled airspace extending 2 miles north, 6 miles south, 8 miles
southeast and 11 miles northwest of the airport is necessary to
accommodate the new RNAV (GPS) standard instrument approach procedures
at the airport, and enhances the safety and management of aircraft
operations.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (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
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The FAA's authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code.
Subtitle 1, Section 106 discusses 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 establishes
controlled airspace at Brevig Mission Airport, Brevig Mission, AK.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist to warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

Adoption of the Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the FAA amends 14 CFR part 71 as

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 117

[Docket No. USCG-2018-0701]

Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Willamette River at Portland, OR

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of deviation from drawbridge regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has issued a temporary deviation from the
operating schedule that governs two Multnomah County bridges: Morrison
Bridge, mile 12.8, and Hawthorne Bridge, mile 13.1 crossing the
Willamette River at Portland, OR. This deviation is necessary to
accommodate the annual Providence Bridge Pedal event. The deviation
allows the bridges to remain in the closed-to-navigation position.

DATES: This deviation is effective from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. on August 12,
2018.

ADDRESSES: The docket for this deviation, USCG-2018-0701 is available
at http://www.regulations.gov. Type the docket number in the ``SEARCH''
box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open Docket Folder on the line
associated with this deviation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this
temporary deviation, call or email Mr. Steven Fischer, Bridge
Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>,
email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Multnomah County, the bridge owner, has
requested a temporary deviation from the operating schedule for the
Morrison Bridge, mile 12.8, and Hawthorne Bridge, mile 13.1, both
crossing the Willamette River at Portland, OR. The requested deviation
will accommodate the Providence Bridge Pedal event, an annual cycling
and walking event across several Willamette River crossings. The
vertical clearances for theses bridges in the closed-to-navigation
position are 69 feet for the Morrison Bridge and 49 feet for the
Hawthorne Bridge respectively, as measured against the vertical
clearance above Columbia River Datum 0.0. The normal operating schedule
for the subject bridges is 33 CFR 117.897. This deviation allows the
Morrison Bridge and Hawthorne Bridge to remain in the closed-to-
navigation position, from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m. on August 12, 2018.
    Waterway usage on this part of the Willamette River includes
vessels ranging from commercial tug and barge to small pleasure craft.
Vessels able to pass through the subject bridges in the closed-to-
navigation position may do so at any time. The bridges will be able to
open for emergencies, and there is no immediate alternate route for
vessels to pass. The Coast Guard has conducted public outreach
regarding this temporary deviation to known mariners that transit this
part of the river. The Coast Guard has not received any objections to
this temporary deviation from the operating schedule. The Coast Guard
will inform the users of the waterway, through our Local and Broadcast
Notices to Mariners, of the change in operating schedule for the
bridges so that vessels can arrange their transits to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridges must return to
their regular operating schedules immediately at the end of the
effective period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the
operating regulations is authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

    Dated: July 23, 2018.

Bridge Administrator, Thirteenth Coast Guard District.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0055; FRL-9980-12--Region 8]

Interstate Transport Prongs 1 and 2 for the 2012 Fine Particulate
Matter (PM2.5) Standard for Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Wyoming

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
portions of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from Colorado,
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming addressing the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act) interstate transport SIP requirements for the 2012
annual Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). These submissions address the requirement
that each SIP contain adequate provisions prohibiting air emissions
that will have certain adverse air quality effects in other states. The
EPA is approving portions of these infrastructure SIPs for the
aforementioned states as containing adequate provisions to ensure that
air emissions in the states will not significantly contribute to
nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2012 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS in any other state.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 6, 2018.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID Number EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0055. All documents in the docket are
listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
confidential business information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available through http://www.regulations.gov, or please
contact the person identified in the For Further Information Contact
section for additional availability information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Clark, Air Program, U.S. EPA
Region 8, Mailcode 8P-AR, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-
1129,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.

I. Background

    On May 9, 2018, the EPA proposed to approve submittals from
Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming as meeting
the interstate transport requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS (83 FR 21226). An explanation of
the CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the states' submittals,
and the EPA's rationale for approval of each submittal were all
provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking and associated technical
support documents, and will not be restated here. The public comment
period for this proposed rule ended on June 8, 2018. The EPA received
four anonymous comments on the proposal.

II. Response to Comments

    After reviewing the comments received, the EPA has determined that
the comments fall outside the scope of our proposed action or fail to
identify any material issue necessitating a response.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is approving the following submittals as meeting the
interstate transport requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for
the 2012 PM2.5

NAAQS: Colorado's December 1, 2015 submittal; Montana's December 17,
2015 submittal; North Dakota's August 23, 2015 submittal; South
Dakota's January 25, 2016 submittal; and Wyoming's June 24, 2016
submittal. This action is being taken under section 110 of the CAA.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the 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 do
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 Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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, 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, these SIPs are not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    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
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 4, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[FMCSA Docket No. FMCSA-2021-0024]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

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

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to exempt three individuals from
the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations
(FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers have
``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or
any other condition which is likely to cause loss of consciousness or
any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions enable these
individuals who have had one or more seizures and are taking anti-
seizure medication to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on July 5, 2021. The exemptions
expire on July 5, 2023.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
DOT, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Room W64-224, Washington, DC 20590-

B. Privacy Act

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to www.regulations.gov, as described in the system
of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at
www.transportation.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On May 26, 2021, FMCSA published a notice announcing receipt of
applications from three individuals requesting an exemption from the
epilepsy and seizure disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) and
requested comments from the public (86 FR 28432). The public comment
period ended on June 25, 2021, and no 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 Sec.  391.41(b)(8).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in Sec.  391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of epilepsy or any other condition which
is likely to cause the loss of consciousness or any loss of ability to
control a CMV.
    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria \1\ to assist medical examiners (MEs) in determining whether
drivers with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV
in interstate commerce.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ These criteria may be found in APPENDIX A TO PART 391--
MEDICAL ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8),
paragraphs 3, 4, and 5, which is available on the internet at
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2015-title49-vol5/pdf/CFR-2015-title49-vol5-part391-appA.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this proceeding.

IV. Basis for Exemption Determination

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b), FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for no longer than a 5-year period if it finds such
exemption would likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent to,
or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption. The statute also allows the Agency to renew exemptions at
the end of the 5-year period. FMCSA grants medical exemptions from the
FMCSRs for a 2-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 the 2007 recommendations of the Agency's Medical Expert Panel.
The Agency conducted an individualized assessment of each applicant's
medical information, including the root cause of the respective
seizure(s) and medical information about the applicant's seizure
history, the length of time that has elapsed since the individual's
last seizure, the stability of each individual's treatment regimen and
the duration of time on or off of anti-seizure medication. In addition,
the Agency reviewed the treating clinician's medical opinion related to
the ability of the driver to safely operate a CMV with a history of
seizure and each applicant's driving record found in the Commercial
Driver's License Information System for commercial driver's license
(CDL) holders, and interstate and intrastate inspections recorded in
the Motor Carrier Management Information System. For non-CDL holders,
the Agency reviewed the driving records from the State Driver's
Licensing Agency. A summary of each applicant's seizure history was
discussed in the May 26, 2021, Federal Register notice (86 FR 28432)
and will not be repeated in this notice.
    These three applicants have been seizure-free over a range of 17
years while taking anti-seizure medication and maintained a stable
medication treatment regimen for the last 2 years. In each case, the
applicant's treating physician verified his or her seizure history and
supports the ability to drive commercially.
    The Agency acknowledges the potential consequences of a driver
experiencing a seizure while operating a CMV. However, the Agency
believes the drivers granted this exemption have demonstrated that they
are unlikely to have a seizure and their medical condition does not
pose a risk to public safety.
    Consequently, FMCSA finds that in each case exempting these
applicants from the epilepsy and seizure disorder prohibition in Sec.
391.41(b)(8) is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that
existing without the exemption.

V. 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 remain seizure-free and maintain a stable treatment
during the 2-year exemption period; (2) each driver must submit annual
reports from their treating physicians attesting to the stability of
treatment and that the driver has remained seizure-free; (3) each
driver must undergo an annual medical examination by a certified ME, as
defined by Sec.  390.5; and (4) each driver must provide a copy of the
annual medical certification to the employer for retention in the
driver's qualification file, or keep a copy of his/her driver's
qualification file if he/she is self-employed. The driver must also
have a copy of the exemption when driving, for presentation to a duly
authorized Federal, State, or local enforcement official.

VI. 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.

VII. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the three exemption applications,
FMCSA exempts the following drivers from the epilepsy and seizure
disorder prohibition, Sec.  391.41(b)(8), subject to the requirements
cited above:

Angela Camarco (CT); Wesley Campbell (CA); and Thomas Frederick (PA)

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315(b), each exemption will be valid
for 2 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(e) and
31315(b).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 60

[EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505; FRL-9950-34-OAR]

Reconsideration of the Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New Source
Performance Standards; Final Action

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Denial of petitions for reconsideration.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is providing
notice that it has responded to 11 petitions for reconsideration of the
final rule titled ``Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New Source Performance
Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
Reviews,'' published in the Federal Register on August 16, 2012, and
seven petitions for reconsideration of subsequent amendments published
in the Federal Register on September 23, 2013, and December 31, 2014.
The agency previously granted reconsideration of several discrete
issues and took final action on reconsideration through documents
published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2013, December 31,
2014, August 12, 2015, and June 3, 2016. The Administrator denied the
remaining requests for reconsideration in separate letters to the
petitioners. The basis for the EPA's action is set out fully in a
separate document available in the rulemaking docket.

DATES: Effective August 10, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lisa Thompson, Sector Policies and
Programs Division (E143-05), Office of Air Quality Planning and
Standards, Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park,
North Carolina 27711; telephone number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number:
(919) 541-3470; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Where can I get a copy of this document and other related
information?

    A copy of this Federal Register notice, the petitions for
reconsideration, and the separate document describing the full basis
for this action are available in the docket the EPA established under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0505. In addition, following signature,
an electronic copy of this final action and the document will be
available on the World Wide Web (WWW) at the following address: https://www3.epa.gov/airquality/oilandgas/actions.html.

II. Judicial Review

    Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) specifies which
Federal Courts of Appeal have venue over petitions for review of final
EPA actions. This section provides, in part, that ``a petition for
review of action of the Administrator in promulgating . . . any
standard of performance or requirement under section [111] of [the
CAA],'' or any other ``nationally applicable'' final action, ``may be
filed only in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia.''
    The EPA has determined that its action denying the petitions for
reconsideration is nationally applicable for purposes of CAA section
307(b)(1) because the action directly affects the Oil and Natural Gas
Sector: New Source Performance Standards and National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews, which are nationally
applicable CAA section 111 standards. Thus, any petitions for review of
the EPA's decision to deny petitioners' requests for reconsideration
must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit by October 11, 2016.

III. Description of Action

    On August 16, 2012, pursuant to CAA section 111(b) of the CAA, the
EPA published the final rule titled ``Oil and Natural Gas Sector: New
Source Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants Reviews.'' 77 FR 49490. The EPA published
subsequent amendments to the rule on September 23, 2013 (78 FR 58416),
and December 31, 2014 (79 FR 79018). Following publication of these
final rules, the Administrator received petitions for reconsideration
of certain provisions of the final rules pursuant to CAA section
307(d)(7)(B).
    CAA section 307(d)(7)(B) requires the EPA to convene a proceeding
for reconsideration of a rule if a party raising an objection to the
rule ``can demonstrate to the Administrator that it was impracticable
to raise such objection within [the public comment period] or if the
grounds for such objection arose after the period for public comment
(but within the time specified for judicial review) and if such
objection is of central relevance to the outcome of the rule.'' The
requirement to convene a proceeding to reconsider a rule is, thus,
based on the petitioner demonstrating to the EPA both: (1) That it was
impracticable to raise the objection during the comment period, or that
the grounds for such objection arose after the comment period, but
within the time specified for judicial review (i.e., within 60 days
after publication of the final rulemaking notice in the Federal
Register, see CAA section 307(b)(1)); and (2) that the objection is of
central relevance to the outcome of the rule.
    The EPA received 18 petitions for reconsideration of the new source
performance standards and subsequent amendments from the following 13
organizations or groups of organizations:

     America's Natural Gas Alliance and the American
Exploration and Production Council (ANGA & AXPC)
     American Petroleum Institute (API) (3 petitions)
     California Communities Against Toxics, California Safe
Schools, Clean Air Council, Coalition For A Safe Environment, Desert
Citizens Against Pollution, Natural Resources Defense Council, and
the Sierra Club (Earthjustice)
     Clean Air Council, Clean Air Task Force, Environmental
Defense Fund, Group Against Smog and Pollution, the Natural
Resources Defense Council, and the Sierra Club
     Gas Processors Association (GPA) (2 petitions)
     Independent Petroleum Association of America,
Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia, Inc., Kentucky
Oil & Gas Association, Inc., Indiana Oil and Gas Association,
Pennsylvania Independent Oil & Gas Association, Ohio Oil and Gas
Association, Illinois Oil & Gas Association
     Interstate Natural Gas Association of America
     M-Squared Products & Services, Inc. (M-Squared)
     REM Technology Inc.
     Texas Commission On Environmental Quality (TCEQ)
     Texas Oil & Gas Association (TXOGA) (2 petitions)
     Texas Pipeline Association
     Western Energy Alliance (WEA) (2 petitions)

    The EPA previously granted reconsideration of all issues in seven
of the petitions and on several discrete issues contained in some of
the other petitions it received and took final action on
reconsideration through documents published in the Federal Register on
September 23, 2013, December 31, 2014, August 12, 2015, and June 3,
2016. The EPA has now denied the issues in the remaining 11 petitions
as not satisfying one or both of the statutory conditions for compelled

reconsideration. We discuss each of the petitions we are denying and
the basis for those denials in a separate document titled ``Denial of
Petitions for Reconsideration of Certain Issues: Oil and Natural Gas
New Source Performance Standards (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOO).'' For
reasons set out in the document, the remaining issues raised in
petitions for review from ANGA & AXPC, API, Earthjustice, GPA, M-
Squared, TCEQ, TXOGA, and WEA are denied.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Administrator is also sending an individual letter to
each of the petitioners announcing her decision on their petitions.

    Dated: July 29, 2016.
Gina McCarthy,
Administrator.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2015]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice lists communities where the addition or
modification of Base Flood Elevations (BFEs), base flood depths,
Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries or zone designations, or
the regulatory floodway (hereinafter referred to as flood hazard
determinations), as shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and
where applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, prepared by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for
each community, is appropriate because of new scientific or technical
data. The FIRM, and where applicable, portions of the FIS report, have
been revised to reflect these flood hazard determinations through
issuance of a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), in accordance with Federal
Regulations. The LOMR will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings. For rating purposes, the currently
effective community number is shown in the table below and must be used
for all new policies and renewals.

DATES: These flood hazard determinations will be finalized on the dates
listed in the table below and revise the FIRM panels and FIS report in
effect prior to this determination for the listed communities.
    From the date of the second publication of notification of these
changes in a newspaper of local circulation, any person has 90 days in
which to request through the community that the Deputy Associate
Administrator for Insurance and Mitigation reconsider the changes. The
flood hazard determination information may be changed during the 90-day
period.

ADDRESSES: The affected communities are listed in the table below.
Revised flood hazard information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.
    Submit comments and/or appeals to the Chief Executive Officer of
the community as listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The specific flood hazard determinations are
not described for each community in this notice. However, the online
location and local community map repository address where the flood
hazard determination information is available for inspection is
provided.
    Any request for reconsideration of flood hazard determinations must
be submitted to the Chief Executive Officer of the community as listed
in the table below.
    The modifications are made pursuant to section 201 of the Flood
Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4105, and are in accordance
with the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq.,
and with 44 CFR part 65.
    The FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management
measures that the community is required either to adopt or to show
evidence of having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified
for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
    These flood hazard determinations, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum that are
required. They should not be construed to mean that the community must
change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their
floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact
stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by
other Federal, State, or regional entities. The flood hazard
determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    The affected communities are listed in the following table. Flood
hazard determination information for each community is available for
inspection at both the online location and the respective community map
repository address listed in the table below. Additionally, the current
effective FIRM and FIS report for each community are accessible online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for
comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The EPA is taking final action pertaining to SIP revisions that
stem from a June 10, 2013, Montana Board of Environmental Review Order
(Board Order) which removes a stipulated condition in an August 4, 1995
Board Order. The condition limited the allowable concentration of lead
in raw feed material at the American Chemet Corporation's East Helena
facility. Specifically, American Chemet requested a change to the 1995
Board Order which would eliminate Exhibit A, Section 3, Subsection B.
This subsection reads:

    ``Feed Material into the plant shall have a quarterly average
lead content of less than 0.15%, and an average annual lead content
of less than 0.10%.''

    All other East Helena Lead SIP provisions, including direct
numerical limits on lead emissions from American Chemet Corporation's
East Helena facility, would remain unchanged.
    On January 12, 2018, the EPA published a proposed rulemaking for
this action (83 FR 1602). The proposed rulemaking discussed the history
of the East Helena lead SIP, including the lead in feed limits that
were created in the 1995 Board Order in order to address the area's
nonattainment status for the 1978 lead National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). The principal target for curtailing lead emissions
was the American Smelting and Refining Company (ASARCO) facility, which
was a lead smelter located adjacent to American Chemet's East Helena
facility. In addition to shutting down its operations in 2001, ASARCO
demolished its stacks in 2009. The EPA subsequently promulgated a new,
more stringent, lead NAAQS standard (0.15 ug/m\3\). The final lead
NAAQS rulemaking was published on November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964) and
effective December 31, 2011. The entire state of Montana, including the
East Helena area, was designated as ``Unclassifiable/Attainment'' for
the 2008 lead NAAQS.
    In response to the DEQ's request for the EPA's guidance concerning
modifying the 1995 Board order to eliminate Exhibit A, Section 3,
Subsection B, the EPA sent a letter dated December 18, 2009 (see
docket) which outlined conditions which the state of Montana must meet
in order for Exhibit A, Section 3, Subsection B to be removed from the
East Helena lead SIP and, as outlined in 83 FR 1602, those conditions
have been met. For details, please see the January 12, 2018 notice
proposing approval of the revision.

II. Response to Comments

    The EPA received two public comments on our proposed action to
approve Montana's September 11, 2013 SIP submittal. One comment was
submitted by Neal Blossom, Director of Global Environmental and
Regulatory Affairs for American Chemet Corporation. The other comment
was submitted anonymously. Below is a summary of the comments and the
EPA's responses.
    Comment: American Chemet Corporation supports the EPA's approval of
the SIP revisions submitted

by the state of Montana on September 11, 2013, because the air quality
in the area will remain in compliance with the NAAQS standard, as
demonstrated by the modeling analysis submitted.
    Response: The EPA agrees that final approval of the revisions
submitted by the state of Montana on September 11, 2013, will maintain
compliance with the lead NAAQS standard, as demonstrated by the
modeling analysis submitted.
    Comment: The anonymous commenter made various statements about the
Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and
cost-benefit analysis in general. The commenter also alleged
unspecified impacts of unspecified regulations.
    Response: After reviewing the comments, the EPA has determined that
the comments are outside the scope of our proposed action or fail to
identify any material issue necessitating a response.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is taking final action to approve the revisions to
Montana's 1995 Board Order to remove Exhibit A, Section 3, Subsection
B.
    Section 110(l) of the CAA prohibits the 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. For the reasons explained in
our January 12, 2018 proposed rulemaking notice, the removal of Exhibit
A, Section 3, Subsection B satisfies the conditions set forth in
section 110(l).
    Section 193 of the CAA, which only applies to nonattainment areas,
prohibits the modification of a SIP-approved control requirement in
effect before November 15, 1990, unless the modification insures
equivalent or greater emissions reductions of such air pollutant. CAA
section 193 does not apply to this revision because the American Chemet
limits were approved into the SIP after November 15, 1990.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of a revised
State of Montana Board Order as described in section III of this
preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through and at the EPA Region 8 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the state
implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA
into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and
113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference by the Director
of the Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

    \1\ 62 Fed. Reg. 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state actions,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves some state law provisions as meeting federal
requirements; this action 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 Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771 regulatory
action because this action is not significant under Executive Order
12866;
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the 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, the SIP does not apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    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. The 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
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by May 29, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See CAA section 307(b)(2).)
