SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the FMCSRs for a five-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
five-year period. FMCSA grants exemptions from the FMCSRs for a two-
year period to align with the maximum duration of a driver's medical
certification.
    The 51 individuals listed in this notice have requested an
exemption from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3).
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting the exemption will achieve the
required level of safety mandated by statute.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding diabetes
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(3) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person has no established medical
history or clinical diagnosis of diabetes mellitus currently requiring
insulin for control. The Agency established the current requirement for
diabetes in 1970 because several risk studies indicated that drivers
with diabetes had a higher rate of crash involvement than the general
population.
    FMCSA established its diabetes exemption program, based on the
Agency's July 2000 study entitled ``A Report to Congress on the
Feasibility of a Program to Qualify Individuals with Insulin-Treated
Diabetes Mellitus to Operate in Interstate Commerce as Directed by the
Transportation Act for the 21st Century.'' The report concluded that a
safe and practicable protocol to allow some drivers with ITDM to
operate CMVs is feasible. The September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441), Federal
Register notice in conjunction with the November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777),
Federal Register notice provides the current protocol for allowing such
drivers to operate CMVs in interstate commerce.
    FMCSA notes that section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users requires
the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program established on
September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441). The revision must provide for
individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus, and be
consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
Section 4129 requires: (1) Elimination of the requirement for three
years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with insulin;
and (2) establishment of a specified minimum period of insulin use to
demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being allowed to operate
a CMV.
    In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the three-year driving experience and
fulfilled the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure
that operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite
level of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 U.S.C.
31136(e). Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of
CMVs with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers,
with the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical
requirements that are deemed medically necessary. The FMCSA concluded
that all of the operating, monitoring and medical requirements set out
in the September 3, 2003, notice, except as modified, were in
compliance with section 4129(d). Therefore, all of the requirements set
out in the September 3, 2003, notice, except as modified by the notice
in the Federal Register on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), remain in
effect.

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0006; Airspace Docket No. 09-AGL-30]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of VOR Federal Airway V-422 in the Vicinity of Wolf
Lake, IN

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends the legal description of the VHF
Omnidirectional Range (VOR) Federal Airway V-422 in the vicinity of
Wolf Lake, IN. The FAA is taking this action because the Wolf Lake VOR,
included as part of the V-422 route structure, is being renamed the
Webster Lake VOR.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, June 3, 2010. 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.

Group, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by amending the legal description of VOR Federal Airway V-422
in the vicinity of Wolf Lake, IN. Currently, V-422 has Wolf Lake, IN,
[VOR] included as part of its route structure. The Wolf Lake VOR and
the Wolf Lake Airport share the same name, but are not co-located and
are greater than 5 nautical miles apart. To eliminate the possibility
of confusion, and a potential flight safety issue, the Wolf Lake VOR
will be renamed the Webster Lake VOR, however it will retain the
current facility identifier (OLK). Airways with Wolf Lake, IN, [VOR]
included in their legal descriptions will be amended to reflect the
name change. The name change of the VOR will coincide with the
effective date of this rulemaking action.
    Since this action merely involves editorial changes in the legal
description of a VOR Federal Airway, and does not involve a change in
the dimensions or operating requirements of that airspace, notice and
public comment under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    Domestic VOR Federal Airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of
FAA Order 7400.9T, signed August 27, 2009, and effective September 15,
2009, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The domestic
VOR Federal Airway listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.
    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.
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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will 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 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 the
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 amends the legal description of a VOR Federal Airway in the
vicinity of Wolf Lake, IN.

Environmental Review

    There are no changes to the lateral limits. Therefore, the FAA has
determined that this action is not subject to environmental assessments
and procedures in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, Policies and
Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts, and the National
Environmental Policy Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background and Purpose

    We published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal
Register on December 16, 2008 (73 FR 76295), entitled ``Vessel
Requirements for Notices of Arrival and Departure, and Automatic
Identification System.'' In it we stated our intention to hold a public
meeting, and to publish a notice to announce the location and date of
the public meeting. 73 FR 76296. In this notice, we announce an
additional public meeting, to the one previously announced for March 5,
2009, in Washington, DC (74 FR 7534), to receive comments on this
proposed rule.
    In the NPRM, we proposed to expand the applicability of Notice of
Arrival and Departure (NOAD) and Automatic Identification System (AIS)
requirements to more commercial vessels, modify NOAD reporting
requirements, establish a mandatory method for electronic data
submission and establish a separate requirement for certain vessels to
submit notices of departure. The proposed rulemaking would also clarify
existing AIS requirements and extend the applicability of AIS
requirements to additional vessels and beyond Vessel Traffic Service
areas to all U.S. navigable waters.
    You may view the NPRM in our online docket, in addition to
supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard (Regulatory Analysis &
Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, Valuing Mortality Risk
Reductions in Homeland Security Regulatory Analyses--Final Report June
2008, and an Environmental Checklist), and comments submitted thus far

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On August 17, 2022 (87 FR 50593), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of West Virginia. In the NPRM,
EPA proposed approval of a formal SIP revision submitted on May 11,
2021. The formal SIP revision updates West Virginia's incorporation by
reference of the NAAQS promulgated by EPA and found at 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 50 and ambient air monitoring reference
methods and equivalent methods promulgated by EPA found at 40 CFR part
53 into West Virginia's legislative rules.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) has
historically chosen to incorporate by reference the Federal NAAQS,
found at 40 CFR part 50, and the associated Federal ambient air
monitoring reference methods and equivalent methods for these NAAQS
found at 40 CFR part 53. When incorporating by reference these Federal
regulations, WVDEP has specified that it is incorporating by reference
these regulations as they existed on a certain date. The incorporation
by reference of the NAAQS that is currently approved in the West
Virginia SIP incorporates by reference 40 CFR parts 50 and 53 as they
existed on June 1, 2019. West Virginia's May 11, 2021 SIP revision
updates the State's incorporation by reference of the primary and
secondary NAAQS and the ambient air monitoring reference and equivalent
methods, found in 40 CFR parts 50 and 53, respectively, as of June 1,
2020. Since the last West Virginia

incorporation by reference of June 1, 2019, EPA: (1) designated one new
equivalent method for measuring concentrations of ozone in ambient air;
(2) designated one new reference method for measuring concentrations of
nitrogen dioxide; (3) amended an existing reference method for
measuring particulate matter (PM10) in ambient air; (4)
designated on new reference method for measuring concentrations of
sulfur dioxide in ambient air; (5) designated one new equivalent method
for measuring concentrations of nitrogen dioxide in ambient air. See 84
FR 44299 (August 23, 2019), 84 FR 50833 (September 26, 2019), 85 FR
5958 (February 2, 2020), 85 FR 27221 (May 7, 2020).
    The amendments to the legislative rule include changes to section
45-8-1 (General), 45-8-2 (Definitions), and 45-8-3 (Adoption of
Standards). The amendments update West Virginia's incorporation by
reference of the primary and secondary NAAQS and the ambient air
monitoring reference and equivalent methods from June 1, 2019, to June
1, 2020. West Virginia is incorporating the Federal rules in 40 CFR
parts 50 and 53 as they existed on June 1, 2020 into 45-8-1 and 45-8-3.
The amendment to section 45-8-2 changes the wording of the definition
of both the CAA and ``Secretary.''
    No comments were received on the August 17, 2022 NPRM.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the West Virginia SIP revision of May 11, 2021,
updating the incorporation by reference of EPA's NAAQS and associated
ambient air monitoring reference methods and equivalent methods.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of 45CSR8--
Ambient Air Quality Standards, as effective June 1, 2021, as discussed
in Section II. of this preamble. EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III 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 EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by 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 EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 January 9, 2023. 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, approving the West Virginia SIP revision updating its
incorporation by reference of EPA's NAAQS and associated ambient air
monitoring reference methods and equivalent methods, may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
