Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0565]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; St. Johns River, Jacksonville, FL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary interim rule and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
navigable waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the St. Johns River around
the Motor Vessel (M/V) ZHENG HOU 28. The safety zone is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential
hazards created by the transit of the heavy lift vessel through the St.
John's River. Entry of vessels or persons into this zone is prohibited
unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port, Sector
Jacksonville or designated representative.

DATES: This temporary interim rule is effective without actual notice
from July 20, 2023, through 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2024. For the
purposes of enforcement, actual notice will be used from 12:01 a.m. on
July 16, 2023 July 20, 2023.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2023-0565 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this rule,
call or email Marine Science Technician First Class Anthony DeAngelo,
Waterways Management division, U.S. Coast Guard; telephone 904-714-
7631, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

COTP Captain of the Port
CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary interim rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under
section 4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C.
553(b)). This provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without
prior notice and opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause
finds that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to the public interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for not publishing a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) with respect to this temporary interim rule
because doing so would be impracticable. This safety zone must be
established by July 16,2023, in order to protect vessels and waterway
users from the potential hazards associated with the transit of a large
vessel carrying oversized gantry cranes.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary interim rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective
date of this temporary interim rule would be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is needed to ensure the protection of
vessels and waterway users in during the transit of the vessel, and
during the offload and installation of the cranes.
    We are soliciting comments on this rulemaking. If we determine that
changes to this rulemaking action are necessary, the Coast Guard will
consider comments received in a subsequent temporary interim rule or
temporary final rule.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034. The Captain of the Port Sector Jacksonville (COTP) has
determined that potential hazards associated with the transit of the
Motor Vessel (M/V) ZHENG HOU 28, and during the offloading of its
cargo, and their installation onto the port. This rule is needed to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable
waters within the safety zone while the vessel is within the St. John's
River.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 12:01 a.m. on July 16,
2023 until 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2023. A moving and fixed
temporary safety zone will be established for the vessel M/V ZHENG HOU
28. The moving safety zone will cover all navigable waters of the
Atlantic Ocean and the St. Johns River within a 100-yard diameter of
the vessel from the time the vessel passes the St. Johns River Sea
Buoy, until the vessel is moored at Blount Island. The fixed safety
zone will cover all navigable waters of the St. Johns River, within 25
yards of the vessel, while it is moored at Blount Island. The duration
of the safety zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the
marine environment in these navigable waters while the vessel is within
the limits of the St. John's River. No vessel or person will be
permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated representative.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, and duration of the safety zone. The size of the safety zone
is small, as it only covers a limited area of the St. John's River and
Atlantic Ocean, immediately surrounding the vessel. Further the zone
shrinks even further once the vessel is moored at Blount Island, FL.
The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety of vessels
through the duration of the vessel's inbound and

transit and offload. Moreover, the Coast Guard will issue a Broadcast
Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16 about the zone, and the
rule would allow vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
moving temporary safety zone within 100-yard diameter safety zone of
the vessel M/V ZHENG HOU 28 and a fixed temporary safety zone within 25
yards of the vessel, while it is moored at Blount Island. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

VI. Public Participation and Request for Comments

[EPA-R03-OAR-2007-0449; FRL-8696-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Delaware; Reasonably Available Control Technology Under the 8-Hour
Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Delaware. This SIP revision pertains to the
requirements in meeting the reasonably available control technology
(RACT) under the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS). These requirements are based on: Certification that previously
adopted RACT controls in Delaware's SIP that were approved by EPA under
the 1-hour ozone NAAQS are based on the currently available technically
and economically feasible controls, and that they continue to represent
RACT for the 8-hour implementation purposes; the adoption of new or
more stringent regulations that represent RACT control levels; and a
negative declaration that certain categories of sources do not exist in
Delaware. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is effective on August 22, 2008.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2007-0449. All documents in the docket are listed in
the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the
electronic docket, some information is not publicly available, i.e.,
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 either electronically through http://
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy for public inspection during normal
business hours at the Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the State submittal are available at the
Delaware Department of Natural Resources & Environmental Control, 89
Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401, Dover, Delaware 19903.

mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On May 30, 2008 (73 FR 31043), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Delaware. The NPR proposed approval
of the requirements of RACT under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The formal
SIP revision was submitted by Delaware on October 2, 2006. A supplement
to this SIP revision was submitted on October 5, 2006.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    Delaware's SIP revision contains the requirements of RACT set forth
by the CAA under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Delaware's SIP revision
satisfies the 8-hour RACT requirements through (1) certification that
previously adopted RACT controls in Delaware's SIP that were approved
by EPA under the 1-hour ozone NAAQS are based on the currently
available technically and economically feasible controls, and continues
to represent RACT for the 8-hour implementation purposes; (2) the
adoption of new or more stringent regulations that represent RACT
control levels; and (3) a negative declaration that certain CTG or non-
CTG major sources of VOC and NOX sources do not exist in
Delaware. Other requirements of the Delaware's 8-hour RACT and the
rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained in the NPR and will
not be restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the 8-hour RACT as a revision to the Delaware SIP.
Delaware's SIP revision contains the requirements of RACT set forth by
the CAA under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. This SIP revision was submitted
on October 2, 2006 and a supplement submittal on October 5, 2006.

IV. 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 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.

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 September 22, 2008. 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, pertaining to the Delaware's RACT provisions under the
8-hour ozone NAAQS, may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

II. What Action is the Agency Taking? EPA has received a pesticide petition as follows proposing the establishment and/ or amendment of regulations for residues of a certain pesticide chemical in or on various food commodities under section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act ( FFDCA), 21 U. S. C. 346a. EPA has determined that this petition contains data or information regarding the elements set forth in FFDCA section 408( d)( 2); however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data support granting of the petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.

List of Subjects Environmental protection, Agricultural commodities, Feed additives, Food additives, Pesticides and pests, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.

Dated: November 20, 2002. Debra Edwards, Acting Director, Registration Division, Office of Pesticide Programs.

Summary of Petition The petitioner summary of the pesticide petition is printed below as required by FFDCA section 408( d)( 3). The summary of the petition was prepared by the petitioner and represents the view of the petitioner. The petition summary announces the availability of a description of the analytical methods available to EPA for the detection and measurement of the pesticide chemical residues or an explanation of why no such method is needed.

3E6523 EPA has received a pesticide petition ( PP 3E6523) from Akzo Nobel Industrial Specialties, Inc., 15200 Almeda Road, Houston, TX 77053 proposing, pursuant to section 408( d) of the FFDCA, 21 U. S. C. 346a( d), to amend 40 CFR 180.960 to establish an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for a Hydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates, poly( oxyethylene) content is 4   12 moles. EPA has determined that the petition contains data or information VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 13: 52 Dec 05, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 06DEN1. SGM 06DEN1 72677 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2002 / Notices regarding the elements set forth in section 408( d)( 2) of the FFDCA; however, EPA has not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the submitted data at this time or whether the data supports granting of the petition. Additional data may be needed before EPA rules on the petition.

A. Residue Chemistry Analytical method. Akzo Nobel is petitioning that a hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates be exempt from the requirement of a tolerance based upon the definition of a low risk polymer under 40 CFR 723.250( e). Therefore, an analytical method to determine residues of ahydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates in raw agricultural commodities ( RACs) is not required.

B. Toxicological Profile As part of the EPA policy statement on inert ingredients, the Agency set forth a list of studies which would generally be used to evaluate the risks posed by the presence of an inert ingredient in a pesticide formulation. However, where it can be determined without the data that the inert ingredient will present minimal or no risk, the Agency generally does not require some or all of the required studies to rule on the proposed tolerance or exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for an inert ingredient. Akzo Nobel Industrial Specialties, Inc. believes that the data and the information described below are adequate to ascertain the toxicology and characterize the risk associated with the use of a hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates, poly( oxyethylene) content is 4   12 moles which represent C8 alkyl ether citrate ( CAS Registration Number: 330977   00   9), C10 C16 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   58   5) and C16 C18 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   61   0) as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations. In the case of certain chemical substances that are defined as `` polymers'' the EPA has established a set of criteria which identify categories of polymers that present low risk. These criteria ( codified in 40 CFR 723.250) identify polymers that are relatively unreactive and stable compared to other chemical substances as well as polymers that are not readily absorbed. These properties generally limit a polymer's ability to cause adverse effects. In addition, these criteria exclude polymers about which little is known. The EPA believes that polymers meeting the criteria noted below will present minimal or no risk. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates, poly( oxyethylene) content is 4   12 moles which represent C8 alkyl ether citrate ( CAS Registration Number: 330977   00   9), C10 C16 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   58   5) and C16 C18 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   61   0) conform to the definition of a polymer given in 40 CFR 723.250( b) and meet the following criteria that are used to identify low risk polymers. 1. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates are not cationic polymers, nor are they reasonably anticipated to become cationic polymers in a natural aquatic environment. 2. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates contain as an integral part of their composition the atomic elements carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. 3. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates do not contain as an integral part of their composition any elements other those listed in 40 CFR 723.250( d)( 2)( ii). 4. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates are not designed, nor are they reasonably anticipated to substantially degrade, decompose, or depolymerize. 5. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates are not manufactured or imported from monomers and/ or other reactants that are not already included on the Toxic Substances Control Act ( TSCA) Chemical Substance Inventory or manufactured under an applicable TSCA section 5 exemption. 6. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates are not water absorbing polymers. 7. a Hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates do not contain any group as reactive functional groups. 8. The minimum number average molecular weights of polymers represented by a hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates are listed as shown below:

  C8 alkyl ether citrate ( CAS Registration Number: 330977   00   9) 1,300 daltons   C10 C16 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   58   5) 1,100 daltons   C16 C18 alkyl ether citrates ( CAS Registration Number: 330985   61   0) 1,300 daltons Substances with molecular weights greater than 400 generally are not absorbed through the intact skin, and substances with molecular weights greater than 1,000 generally are not absorbed through the intact gastrointestinal ( GI) tract. Chemicals not absorbed through the skin or GI tract generally are incapable of eliciting a toxic response. 9. The polymers represented by ahydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates have numberaverage molecular weights greater than 1,100 and contain less than 10% oligomeric material below molecular weight of 500 and less than 25% oligomeric material below 1,000 molecular weight. In addition, the monomers/ reactants that are used for the production of polymers represented by a hydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates have prior clearances by the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA) under 21 CFR for food contact applications, and by the Environmental Protection Agency under 40 CFR for use in pesticide formulations applied to raw agricultural commodities ( RAC). 1. Citric acid ( CAS Registration Number: 77   92   9) was affirmed by FDA as generally recognized as safe ( GRAS) under 21 CFR 184.1033 for use in food for human consumption. 2. Citric acid ( CAS Registration Number: 77   92   9) is cleared under 40 CFR 180.1001( c) and ( e) as an inert ingredient in pesticide formulations applied to RAC. It is included in Inerts  List 4A. 3. Fatty alcohols are widely present in oils, fats and waxes which are used in human food. Some waxes ( bees wax, candelilla wax and carnauba wax) are GRAS substances ( 21 CFR Part 184). Bees wax and carnauba wax are in Inerts  List 4B. 4. C8 C18 Alcohols are List 3 inerts. Ethoxylated C10 C16 alcohols ( CAS Registration Number: 68002   97   1) and ethoxylated C16 C18 alcohols ( CAS Registration Number: 68439   49   6) are included in Inerts  List 3. Ethoxylated C9 C16 alcohols ( CAS Registration Number: 97043   91   9) are in Inerts  List 4B.

C. Aggregate Exposure Although exposure to three polymers represented by a hydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates may occur through dietary sources, the chemical characteristics of these polymers lead to the conclusion that there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from aggregate exposure to these polymers.

VerDate 0ct< 31> 2002 13: 52 Dec 05, 2002 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 06DEN1. SGM 06DEN1 72678 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2002 / Notices The Agency has maintained that polymers meeting the polymer exemption criteria will present minimal risk to human health when used as inert ingredients in pesticide products applied to food crops. EPA has also established exemptions from tolerance for polymeric materials used as pesticide inert ingredients that it considers to be intrinsically safe based on the fact that they are listed on the TSCA Inventory or meet the requirements of the amended TSCA polymer exemption and are thereby not subject to the requirements of the premanufacturing notification. Any exposure resulting from the approval of three polymers represented by a hydro   hydroxypoly oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates in pesticide formulations for use on growing crops or to RAC after harvest is not warranted.

D. Cumulative Effects At this time there is no information to indicate that any toxic effects produced by three polymers represented by ahydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates having a number average molecular weight of at least 1,100 would be cumulative with those of any other chemical substance( s). Given the categorization of these polymers as a `` low risk polymer'' ( 40 CFR 723.250) and their proposed use as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations, there is no reasonable expectation of increased risk due to cumulative exposure.

E. Safety Determination 1. U. S. population. As a matter of policy, EPA has in the past established exemptions from tolerance for polymeric substances used as pesticide inert ingredients that it considers to be intrinsically safe based on the fact that they are listed on the TSCA Inventory or meet the requirements of the amended TSCA polymer exemption and are thereby not subject to the requirements of premanufacture notice ( PMN). The Agency has maintained that polymers meeting the polymer exemption criteria will present minimal risk to human health when used as inert ingredients in pesticide formulations. 2. Infants and children. FFDCA section 408 provides that EPA shall supply an additional tenfold margin of safety for infants and children in the case of threshold effects where prenatal and/ or postnatal toxicity are found or there is incompleteness of the database, unless EPA concludes that a different margin of safety will be safe for infants and children. Margins of safety are incorporated into EPA risk assessments either directly through the use of margin of exposure ( MOE) analysis or through using uncertainty ( safety) factors in calculating a dose level that poses no appreciable risk to humans. Due to the low expected toxicity of these three polymers represented by ahydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates, a safety factor analysis is not required for assessing the risk. For the same reasons the additional safety factor is unnecessary.

F. International Tolerances Akzo Nobel Industrial Specialties, Inc. is not aware of any country requiring a tolerance for the three polymers represented by a hydro   hydroxy poly( oxyethylene) C8 C18 alkyl ether citrates having a number average molecular weights of at least 1,100. Nor have there been any CODEX Maximum Residue Levels ( MRLs) established for any food crops at this time.

RIN 2120-AA66

Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Mount Vernon, IL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend the Class E surface area and
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at
Mount Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon, IL. The FAA is proposing this
action as the result of an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Mount Vernon VHF omnidirectional range (VOR)
navigation aid, which provided navigation information for the
instrument procedures at this airport, as part of the VOR Minimum
Operational Network (MON) Program. The geographic coordinates and name
of the airport would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database. Airspace redesign is necessary for the safety
and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at this
airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 15, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, West Building Ground Floor, Room

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend Class E surface area and Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Mount Vernon Airport, Mount
Vernon, IL, to support IFR operations at this airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing
reasoned regulatory decisions on the proposal. Comments are
specifically invited on the overall regulatory, aeronautical, economic,
environmental, and energy-related aspects of the proposal.
Communications should identify both docket numbers and be submitted in
triplicate to the address listed above. Commenters wishing the FAA to
acknowledge receipt of their comments on this notice must submit with
those comments a self-addressed, stamped postcard on which the
following statement is made: ``Comments to Docket No. FAA-2019-0041;
Airspace Docket No. 19-AGL-6.'' The postcard will be date/time stamped

holidays. An informal docket may also be examined during normal
business hours at the Federal Aviation Administration, Air Traffic
Organization, Central Service Center, Operations Support Group, 10101
Hillwood Parkway, Fort Worth, TX 76177.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by:
    Amending the Class E surface area to within a 4.1-mile radius
(reduced from a 4.2-mile radius) at Mount Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon,
IL, and removing the Mount Vernon VOR/DME and the associate extension
from the airspace legal description;
    And amending the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Mount Vernon Airport, Mount Vernon, IL, by
removing the Mount Vernon VOR/DME and the associated extension from the
airspace legal description; and by updating the name of the airport
(formerly Mount Vernon/Outland Airport) and the geographic coordinates
of the airport to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Mount Vernon VOR, which provided navigation
information for the instrument

procedures at these airports, as part of the VOR MON Program.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6002 and
6005 of FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1.
The Class E airspace designation listed in this document will be
published subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC Form 580, (Interrogatory on Fuel and Energy Purchase
Practices Pursuant to Section 205 of the Federal Power Act).
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0137.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC Form 580 with no
substantive changes to the current reporting requirements.
Administrative changes to update the form are being made, as described
below.
    Abstract: The Commission collects FERC Form 580 information every
other year as required under Section 205(f)(2) of the FPA,\1\ which
provides that the Commission must review,``not less frequently than
every 2 years,'' practices under automatic adjustment clauses
(AACs).\2\ As required by FPA section

205(f)(2), the Commission uses the information collected through the
FERC Form 580 interrogatory to review utility purchase and cost
recovery practices under AACs in order to ensure efficient use of
resources.\3\ The Commission uses the information to evaluate costs in
individual rate filings and to supplement periodic utility audits. The
public also uses the information in this manner. Without the FERC Form
580 interrogatory, the Commission would not have the requisite
information available to conduct the necessary review the FPA mandates.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 16 U.S.C. 824d.
    \2\ An automatic adjustment clause is a provision of a rate
schedule which provides for increases or decreases (or both),
without prior hearing, in rates reflecting increases or decreases
(or both) in costs incurred by an electric utility.
    For additional information on AACs, see the Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs) and Desk Reference for FERC Form 580 on the
Commission's website.
    \3\ By using the data in FERC Form 580, the Commission is able
to review utility purchase and cost recovery practices and ensure
the resources are in compliance with Commission regulations in 18
CFR 35.14.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondents: The filing must be submitted by all FERC-
jurisdictional utilities owning and/or operating at least one steam-
electric generating station of 50 MW or greater capacity or having a
majority ownership interest in a jointly-owned steam-electric
generating station of at least 50 MW. A jurisdictional utility without
a cost-based tariff on file with the Commission is not required to file
the form.
    Administrative Updates to the FERC Form 580: Continuing on from the
data collection request from October 2020, the Commission will be
issuing a request for a second request for similar data that was
authorized in the last renewal for FERC Form 580.\4\ The request will
solicit the same information as the previous request, except that the
years will be changed from 2018-2019 to 2020-2021. In this case, the
updated year designations will appear in questions 2 through 8 of FERC
Form 580, as well as in question 5 of the Privileged Addendum to the
FERC Form 580.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The current OMB approval (ICR<PHONE_NUMBER>-015) was issued on
April 23, 2020 and expires January 31, 2023. While that approval
includes the timeframe for the Commission's next required use of
FERC-580 in 2022, we are submitting this request in order to update
(administrative updates) FERC Form 580 for the data collection in
2022, and to request renewal of FERC-580 for another 3 years.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Estimate of Annual Burden.\5\ The Commission estimates the annual
\6\ public reporting burden and cost \7\ for the information collection
as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Burden is defined as the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a federal agency. See 5
CFR 1320 for additional information on the definition of information
collection burden.
    \6\ The FERC Form 580 interrogatory is conducted every two
years.
    \7\ Commission staff estimates that the industry's average
hourly cost for this information collection is approximated by the
FERC's average hourly cost (for wages and benefits) for 2021, or
$87.00/hour.

                                                                                FERC Form 580
