40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2012-0448; FRL-9732-2]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Georgia;
Control Techniques Guidelines and Reasonably Available Control
Technology

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving four final State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the State of Georgia, through the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD), to EPA on November 13,
1992, October 21, 2009 (three separate submittals on this day), and
March 19, 2012. Additionally, EPA is approving a SIP revision that GA
EPD submitted on July 19, 2012, for parallel processing. GA EPD
submitted the final submission related to the July 19, 2012, draft SIP
revision on September 7, 2012. Together, these revisions establish
reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for the
major sources located in the Atlanta, Georgia 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Atlanta Area'') that
either emit volatile organic compounds (VOC), nitrogen oxides
(NOX), or both. Georgia's SIP revisions include certain VOC
source categories for which EPA has issued Control Techniques
Guidelines (CTG). EPA has evaluated the revisions to Georgia's SIP, and
has made the determination that they are consistent with the Clean Air
Act (CAA or Act), statutory and regulatory requirements and EPA
guidance.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule will be effective October 29, 2012.

I. Background

    On April 30, 2004, EPA designated the Atlanta Area as a marginal
nonattainment area with respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). See 69 FR 23858. The Atlanta
Area includes the following 20 counties: Barrow, Bartow, Carroll,
Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth,
Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding and
Walton.\1\ For background purposes, portions of the Atlanta Area were
designated as a severe nonattainment area for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS.
The Area was subsequently redesignated to attainment for the 1-hour
ozone NAAQS with a maintenance plan. The original Atlanta 1-hour severe
ozone nonattainment area consisted of 13 counties including Cherokee,
Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, Fulton,
Gwinnett, Henry, Paulding and Rockdale. See 56 FR 56694 (November 6,
1991). As such, major sources in the 13-county 1-hour ozone
nonattainment area were defined as those sources that emit 25 tons per
year (tpy) or more of VOC or NOX. Therefore, the
applicability of some of the rules being approved in today's action is
for 25 tpy and above for sources in the 13 county area that was severe
for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS and moderate for the 1997 8-hour ozone
NAAQS; and 100 tpy and above in the remaining 7 counties that have only
been classified as moderate for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Effective July 20, 2012, EPA designated 15 counties in the
Atlanta metropolitan area as a marginal nonattainment area for the
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Today's final action regarding RACT is not
related to requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 6, 2008, EPA reclassified the Atlanta Area from a marginal
ozone nonattainment area to a moderate ozone nonattainment area. As a
result of this designation and subsequent reclassification to moderate,
Georgia was required to amend its SIP for the Atlanta Area to satisfy
the requirements for a moderate area under CAA section 182. Section
182(b)(2) of the CAA requires states to adopt RACT rules for all areas
designated nonattainment for ozone and classified as moderate or above.
The three parts of the section 182(b)(2) RACT requirements are: (1)
RACT for sources covered by an existing CTG (i.e., a CTG issued prior
to enactment of the 1990 amendments to the CAA); (2) RACT for sources
covered by a post-enactment CTG; and (3) all major sources not covered
by a CTG (i.e., non-CTG sources). Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.165, a major
source for a moderate ozone area is a source that emits 100 tpy or more
of VOC or NOX. For more information regarding the RACT
requirements, including requirements and schedules for sources covered
by CTGs, please see the proposed approval of this action. See 77 FR
45307, July 31, 2012.

II. This Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve several final SIP revisions
submitted by the State of Georgia, through the GA EPD, to EPA on
November 13, 1992, October 21, 2009,\2\ March 19, 2012,\3\ and
September 7, 2012. The September 7, 2012, SIP revision was initially
submitted to EPA for parallel processing on July 19, 2012, and the
final version was submitted to EPA on September 7, 2012, consistent
with applicable requirements.\4\ The purpose of these revisions is to
ensure that certain VOC and NOX sources are controlled to
levels that meet RACT requirements for major sources located in the
Atlanta Area and meet RACT requirements for certain VOC source
categories for which EPA has issued CTG. EPA has evaluated the
revisions to Georgia's SIP, and has made the determination that they
are consistent with statutory and regulatory requirements and EPA
guidance.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Three separate submittals were submitted to EPA from GA EPD
on October 21, 2009. These are Submittals A, B and C referenced in
the July 31, 2012, proposed approval. See 77 FR 45307.
    \3\ Georgia submitted a SIP revision on September 15, 2008, that
addressed four RACT rule changes that are described in EPA's July
31, 2012, proposed rulemaking. Specifically, these rules are Rules
391-1-.02(2)(y) Metal Furniture, (ff) Solvent Metal Cleaning, (ii)
Miscellaneous Metal Coating and (kkk) Aerospace Coatings. EPA notes
that Georgia submitted a subsequent SIP revision to make additional
changes to these aforementioned rules. While EPA's July 31, 2012,
proposed rulemaking does not specifically reference Georgia's
September 15, 2008, SIP revisions, EPA's proposal does account for
the comprehensive changes to Rules 391-1-.02(2)(y), (ii) and (kkk)
from Georgia's September 15, 2008, SIP revision as supplemented with
subsequent SIP revisions and EPA's proposal does account for
appropriate applicability for Rule 391-1-.02(2)(ff). The version of
the Rule 391-1-.02(2)(ff) already in the federally approved SIP,
along with the applicability change found in EPA's proposal, meet
the RACT requirements. Georgia's September 15, 2008, SIP revision
also included revisions to seven additional rules which were not
addressed in EPA's July 31, 2012, proposed rulemaking and are not
being finalized in today's action. These seven additional rules are
unrelated to RACT.
    \4\ On July 31, 2012, EPA proposed approval of GA EPD's July 19,
2012, SIP revision contingent upon Georgia providing EPA a final SIP
revision that was not changed significantly from the July 19, 2012,
SIP revision. Georgia provided its final SIP revision on September
7, 2012. There were no changes made to the final submittal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The purpose of today's action is to approve the referenced SIP
revisions as meeting the VOC and NOX RACT requirements of
section 182(b)(2) of the CAA for the Atlanta Area. On July 31, 2012,
EPA published a proposed rulemaking to approve, and in the alternative
conditionally approve, the referenced SIP revisions. See 77 FR 45307.
EPA did not receive any public comments on its proposal. Since EPA
received Georgia's final SIP revision on September 7, 2012, and the
final submittal remained unchanged from the State's draft July 19,
2012, SIP revision, EPA is finalizing today's action as a full approval
and does not need to conditionally approve any portion of Georgia's SIP
revisions as meeting the VOC and NOX RACT requirements.

III. Final Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve four SIP revisions submitted
by the State of Georgia to address the CTG and RACT requirements for
the Atlanta Area. Specifically, EPA is taking final action to approve
final SIP revisions submitted to EPA from GA EPD on November 13, 1992,
October 21, 2009 (three separate submittals on this day), March 19,
2012, and September 7, 2012. EPA is approving these SIP revisions
because they are consistent with the CAA and requirements related to
VOC and NOX RACT.

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, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 27, 2012. 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 Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0759; Directorate Identifier 2008-NE-02-AD;
Amendment 39-15824; AD 2009-04-18]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney (PW) JT9D-7 Series
Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for PW
models JT9D-7, -7A, -7AH, -7H, -7F, and -7J turbofan engines. This AD
requires initial and repetitive borescope inspections of the 2nd stage
high-pressure turbine (HPT) rotor and stator assembly. This AD results
from an uncontained failure of a 2nd stage HPT rotor disk that caused
the engine to separate from the airplane. We are issuing this AD to
prevent failure of the 2nd stage HPT rotor disk, which could result in
uncontained engine failure, damage to the airplane, and the engine
separating from the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective May 5, 2009. The Director of the
Federal Register approved the incorporation by reference of certain
publications listed in the regulations as of May 5, 2009.

ADDRESSES: You can get the service information identified in this AD
from Pratt & Whitney, 400 Main St., East Hartford, CT 06108; telephone
(860) 565-8770; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    The Docket Operations office is located at Docket Management
Facility, U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue,
SE., West Building Ground Floor, Room W12-140, Washington, DC 20590-
0001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Dickert, Aerospace Engineer,
Engine Certification Office, FAA, Engine and Propeller Directorate, 12
New England Executive Park, Burlington, MA 01803; e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA proposed to amend 14 CFR part 39
with a proposed AD. The proposed AD applies to PW models JT9D-7, -7A, -
7AH, -7H, -7F, and -7J turbofan engines. We published the proposed AD
in the Federal Register on July 10, 2008 (73 FR 39627). That action
proposed to require an initial and repetitive borescope inspection of
the 2nd stage HPT vane assembly.

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 this AD, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is provided in
the ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket
shortly after receipt.
    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comment received.
    One commenter asks us to change the compliance time from ``cycles-
since-overhaul'' to ``cycles-since-last installation of the second
stage HPT vanes.'' The commenter states that second stage HPT vanes
might be removed and replaced at times other than module overhaul, such
as for module repair.
    We agree. We changed paragraph (f) of the proposed AD from ``Within
100 cycles-in-service (CIS) after the effective date of this AD, or
within 1,000 CIS after the last HPT module overhaul * * *'' to ``Within
100 cycles-in-service (CIS) after the effective date of this AD, or
within 1,000 CIS after the last installation of the second stage HPT
vanes * * *''

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comment received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD with the changes described previously.
We have determined that these changes will neither increase the
economic burden on any operator nor increase the scope of the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 240 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 5
work-hours per engine to perform the proposed actions, that each engine
might require two inspections, and that the average labor rate is $80
per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the total cost of
the AD to U.S. operators to be $192,000.

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 have 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 DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979); and
    (3) 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 summary of the costs to comply with this AD and
placed it in the AD Docket. You may get a copy of this summary at the
address listed under ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations for a 2-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.'' FMCSA can renew exemptions at the end
of each 2-year period. The 17 individuals listed in this Notice have
each requested such an exemption from the vision requirement in 49 CFR
391.41(b)(10), which applies to drivers of CMVs in interstate commerce.
Accordingly, the Agency will evaluate the qualifications of each
applicant to determine whether granting an

exemption will achieve the required level of safety mandated by
statute.

[FRL-10001-82-Region 10]

Reissuance of NPDES General Permits for Aquaculture Facilities in
Idaho Excluding Facilities Discharging into the Upper Snake-Rock
Subbasin (IDG131000) and Aquaculture Facilities Located in Indian
Country in Idaho (IDG133000)

AGENCY: Region 10, Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Reissuance of NPDES General Permits.

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

SUMMARY: The Director of the Water Division, EPA Region 10, is
reissuing two National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
General Permits for: (1) Aquaculture Facilities in Idaho Excluding
Facilities Discharging into the Upper Snake-Rock Subbasin, and (2)
Aquaculture Facilities Located in Indian Country in Idaho. The General
Permits will authorize discharges of wastewater from cold and warm
water Concentrated Aquatic Animal Production facilities, (also referred
to as CAAPs or ``hatcheries''). The permits will largely replace and
combine IDG131000, the NPDES General Permit for Cold Water Aquaculture
Facilities in Idaho (not subject to Wasteload Allocations) and
IDG130000, the NPDES General Permit for Aquaculture Facilities in Idaho
(subject to Wasteload Allocations). Facilities covered under IDG130000
that are not within the Upper Snake-Rock Subbasin will be

terminated once coverage under IDG131000 or IDG133000 is available.
Facilities covered under IDG130000 that discharge within the Upper
Snake-Rock Subbasin are not affected by this action and will remain
covered under IDG130000. By separating out discharges from aquaculture
facilities located in Indian County in Idaho, where the EPA is the
permitting authority, under a separate General Permit (IDG133000), this
action will facilitate the transfer of IDG131000 to the State of Idaho
in 2020 as part of the phased implementation of Idaho's administration
of the NPDES Program.

DATES: The issuance date of the General Permit is October 31, 2019, the
date of publication of this notice. The General Permits will be
effective December 1, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the general permits, Fact Sheet, and Response to
Comments are available upon request. Written requests may be submitted
to: Water Division; USEPA Region 10; 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 155,
WD19-C04, Seattle, WA 98101-3188. Electronic requests may be sent to:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For requests by phone, call Audrey
Washington at<PHONE_NUMBER>. These documents can also be accessed
online on the EPA Region 10 website at: www.epa.gov/npdes-permits/draft-npdes-general-permits-aquaculture-facilities-idaho.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

    There are approximately 25 facilities eligible for coverage under
the two General Permits. Aquaculture facilities may use one of several
types of production systems, including ponds, flow-through systems, and
recirculating systems. Most of the facilities eligible for coverage
under the General Permits use flow-through systems. Most facilities
have a quiescent zone at the bottom of their raceways to allow solids
and debris to settle out (where they can be vacuumed and removed) and
use a full-flow settling basin or offline settling basin to remove
sediment and associated pollutants prior to discharge.
    The General Permits include numeric effluent limits for total
phosphorus and total suspended solids for all facilities and
temperature limits for some facilities, as well as prohibitions on
certain discharges and practices. Numeric limitations for facilities
may differ depending on applicable Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL)
Wasteload Allocations. The Permit includes reporting requirements for
usage of drugs and chemicals and the development of a Best Management
Practices Plan. Major changes from the 2007 General Permit include:
Removal of the percent total suspended solids removal requirement for
offline settling basins; prohibition on copper usage; the addition of
continuous temperature monitoring for some facilities; and
miscellaneous monitoring revisions.
    Facilities will receive a written notification from the EPA whether
permit coverage and authorization to discharge under one of the General
Permits is approved.
    The EPA received 30 comments from 5 entities during the public
comment period which extended from June 6, 2019 through July 22, 2019.
The EPA also received tribal and state CWA 401 certifications, which
can be found in Appendix D of the Fact Sheet. A Response to Comments
document was prepared, which explains any changes made to Permit
between proposal and final issuance.
    The EPA has completed a Biological Evaluation for these Permit
actions. Consultation under the Endangered Species Act between the EPA
and the National Marine Fisheries Service and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service has been completed. The Services concurred on the
EPA's determination that the Permit actions are not likely to adversely
affect species listed under the Endangered Species Act or designated
critical habitat.

II. Other Legal Requirements

    This action was submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for review under Executive Orders 12866, Regulatory Planning and
Review, and 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review, and was
determined to be not significant.
    Compliance with Endangered Species Act, Essential Fish Habitat,
Paperwork Reduction Act, and other requirements are discussed in the
Fact Sheet to the permits.
    Appeal of Permit: Any interested person may appeal the final permit
action within 120 days of October 31, 2019 (i.e., the issuance date of
this permit) in the Federal Court of Appeals in accordance with Section
509(b)(1) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. 1369(b)(1).

    Dated: October 23, 2019.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

  Sun Sports and Entertainment, Inc.; Order of Suspension of

Trading

October 21, 2009.

    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is

a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of

Sun Sports and Entertainment, Inc. (``Sun Sports'') because of

questions regarding the accuracy of statements by Sun Sports in press

releases and statements to investors concerning, among other things,

the company's business prospects and financial viability.

    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the

protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the

securities of Sun Sports.

    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the

Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the

securities of the above-listed company is suspended for the period from

9:30 a.m. EDT October 21, 2009 through 11:59 p.m. EST, on November 3,

2009.

    By the Commission.
