[Project No. 13377-000]

Sonoma County Water Agency; Notice of Preliminary Permit
Application Accepted for Filing and Soliciting Comments, Motions To
Intervene, and Competing Applications

April 3, 2009.
    On February 23, 2009, Sonoma County Water Agency filed an
application for a preliminary permit, pursuant to section 4(f) of the
Federal Power Act, proposing to study the feasibility of the Sonoma
Coast Hydrokinetic Energy Project Fort Ross (South) to be located on
the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Sonoma County, California. The
project uses no dam or impoundment. The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit holder priority to file a
license application during the permit term. A preliminary permit does
not authorize the permit holder to perform any land disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners' express permission.
    The proposed project would consist of: (1) Approximately 5 to 10
oscillating water column devices and/or buoy-type wave energy
conversion devices with an estimated total power output of 2 to 5
megawatts (MW); (2) a potential expansion of the proposed project or
additional projects up to 40 to 200 MW; (3) one or more proposed
submersible armored submarine cables, including a 12-kilovolt
transmission line approximately 5 miles in length; (4) a potential sub-
station and 1-mile-long transmission line, if the proposed project is
expanded; and (5) appurtenant facilities. The project is estimated to
have an annual generation of 20 gigawatt-hours, which would be sold to
a local utility or used by the Sonoma County Water Agency to offset its
own load.
    Applicant Contact: Sonoma County Water Agency, Mr. Randy D. Poole,
General Manager/Chief Engineer, 404 Aviation Boulevard, Santa Rosa,
California 95403, phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    FERC Contact: Aaron Liberty,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Deadline for filing comments, motions to intervene, competing
applications (without notices of intent), or notices of intent to file
competing applications: 60 days from the issuance of this notice.
Comments, motions to intervene, notices of intent, and competing
applications may be filed electronically via the Internet. See 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. If unable to be filed electronically,
documents may be paper-filed. To paper-file, an original and eight
copies should be mailed to: Kimberly D. Bose, Secretary, Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426. For
more information on how to submit these types of filings, please go to

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2020-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2027]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or

regulatory floodway on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where
applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for
the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice
is to seek general information and comment regarding the preliminary
FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. 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). In
addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 30, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables 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.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2027, to
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>
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 Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. 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.

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Availability of a Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the Proposed LaGuardia Access Improvement Project at
LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, Queens County, New York

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

ACTION: Notice of availability of a Final Environmental Impact
Statement.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is issuing this notice under the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, to
announce the availability of the Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the proposed LaGuardia Airport (LGA) Access Improvement
Project and its connected actions (the Proposed Action). The Proposed
Action would provide direct access between LGA and the Metropolitan
Transportation Authority (MTA) Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Mets-
Willets Point Station and the New York City Transit (NYCT) 7 Line Mets-
Willets Point Station. FAA is the lead federal agency in the
preparation of the EIS, with cooperating agencies including National
Park Service (U.S. Department of the Interior); U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; New York State
Department of Environmental Conservation; New York State Department of
Transportation; and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation. The Final EIS was prepared to disclose the
potential environmental impacts resulting from the Proposed Action,
including real property transactions under the New York State Eminent
Domain Procedures Law. The Final EIS is available for download on the
project website at https://www.lgaaccesseis.com.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Andrew Brooks, Environmental
Program Manager, Eastern Regional Office, AEA-610, Federal Aviation
Administration, 1 Aviation Plaza, Jamaica, NY 11434. Telephone: 718-
553-2511.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice continues the EIS process
announced in the Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS) and Initiate Section 106 Consultation for the Proposed
LaGuardia Access Improvement Project at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New
York City, Queens County, New York, 84 FR 19151, May 3, 2019, follows
meetings associated with the EIS announced in the Notice of Public
Information Sessions on Alternatives Analysis for the Proposed
LaGuardia Airport Access Improvement Project at LaGuardia Airport
(LGA), New York City, Queens County, New York, 84 FR 66438, December 4,
2019, and follows release of the Draft EIS, which was made available
for agency and public review as announced in the Notice of Availability
of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Notice of Public
Workshops and Hearings for the Proposed LaGuardia Access Improvement
Project at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), New York City, Queens County, New
York 85 FR 51142, August 19, 2020.
    This EIS was prepared in response to a proposal presented by the
Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (Port Authority). The Port
Authority operates LGA under a lease agreement with the City of New
York. FAA must decide whether to approve, pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 47106
and 47107 relating to the eligibility of the Proposed Action for
federal funding under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) and/or
under 49 U.S.C. 40117, as implemented by 14 CFR 158.25, to impose and
use passenger facility charge (PFC) revenue collected for the Proposed
Action to assist with construction of potentially eligible development
items shown on the Airport Layout Plan (ALP). FAA approval of the
eligibility for federal funding under AIP or to impose and use PFCs is
a Federal action that must comply with NEPA requirements. The Port has
indicated it intends to submit an application to impose and use PFCs,
and this EIS was prepared in order to inform the environmental
determinations required as part of such an application. FAA, as lead
federal agency, invited the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers; U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency; New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation; New York State Department of
Transportation; and New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and
Historic Preservation to participate as cooperating agencies, as
described under 40 CFR 1501.6(a)(1), and the agencies accepted.
Subsequent to release of the Draft EIS, the National Park Service (U.S.
Department of the Interior) requested to become a cooperating agency,
and FAA accepted this request.
    The Final EIS presents the purpose and need for the Proposed
Action, analysis of reasonable alternatives, discussion of impacts for
each reasonable alternative, comments received on the Draft EIS,
responses to comments received on the Draft EIS, and supporting
appendices. The Proposed Action includes:
     Construction of an above ground fixed guideway automated
people mover (APM) system approximately 2.3 miles in length that
extends from the LGA Central Hall Building under construction to the
Mets-Willets Point LIRR and NYC Transit 7 Line Stations;
     construction of two on-Airport APM stations (Central Hall
APM Station and East APM Station) and one off-Airport APM station at
Willets Point (Willets Point APM Station) that provides connections to
the Mets-Willets Point LIRR and 7 Line stations;
     construction of passenger walkway systems to connect the
APM stations to the passenger terminals, parking garages, and ground
transportation facilities;
     construction of a multi-level APM operations, maintenance,
and storage facility (OMSF) that includes up to 1,000 parking spaces
(500 for airport employees, 250 for MTA employees, 50 for APM
employees, and 200 for replacement Citi Field parking);
     construction of three traction power substations to
provide power to the APM guideway: One located at the on-Airport East
Station, another at-grade

west of the proposed Willets Point Station just south of Roosevelt
Avenue, and the third at the OMSF;
     construction of a 27kV main substation located adjacent to
the OMSF structure on MTA property;
     construction of utilities infrastructure, both new and
modified, as needed, to support the Proposed Action, including a
permanent stormwater outfall into Flushing Creek and a temporary
stormwater outfall into Flushing Creek; and
     acquisition of temporary and permanent easements; no
private property would be acquired.
    The Proposed Action also includes various connected actions,
including: Utility relocation and demolition of certain existing
facilities; a temporary MTA bus storage/parking facility; relocation of
up to 200 Citi Field parking spaces; demolition and replacement of the
Passerelle Bridge; temporary walkway to maintain access between the
transit stations and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park; modifications to the
Mets-Willets Point LIRR Station, including new shuttle service on the
LIRR Port Washington Line; and the relocation of several World's Fair
Marina facilities, including a boat lift, finger piers and connected
timber floating dock, Marina office and boatyard facility, boat storage
and parking, and operations shed.
    FAA provides the following notices:
     Pursuant to 36 CFR 800.8(c) that it used the NEPA process
to notify the public of FAA's finding that the proposed undertaking
would adversely affect properties listed or eligible for listing on the
National Register of Historic Places. An executed Memorandum of
Agreement to resolve adverse effects to historic properties is included
in Appendix K.13 of the Final EIS.
     Pursuant to Section 4(f) of the DOT Act and Section 6(f)
of the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Act, FAA has prepared a
Final Section 4(f) and Section 6(f) Evaluation (see Appendix I of the
Final EIS). The Proposed Action would have a significant impact on
Section 4(f) resources and would require the conversion of
approximately 0.5 acres of LWCF-obligated property, and a temporary
non-conforming use of approximately 1.2 acres of LWCF-obligated
property. These impacts and proposed mitigation are disclosed in
Chapter 3.8 and Appendix I of the Final EIS.
     Pursuant to DOT Order 5610.2(b), DOT Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations, the Proposed Action would have a significant impact on
minority environmental justice populations. These impacts and proposed
mitigation are disclosed in Chapter 3.14 of the Final EIS.
     Pursuant to Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands,
that the Proposed Action would temporarily affect less than 1 acre of
jurisdictional wetlands in Flushing Creek and less than 1 acre of
temporary and permanent impacts in Flushing Bay. Impacts to these
aquatic resources and proposed mitigation are disclosed in Chapter 3.16
of the Final EIS.
     Pursuant to Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management
that the Proposed Action would not result in a significant encroachment
on floodplains. Impacts to floodplains are disclosed in Chapter 3.16 of
the Final EIS.
    Following a 30-day wait period, FAA may issue Record of Decision
pursuant to 40 CFR 1503.4(c) [Council of Environmental Quality
regulations] and FAA Orders 1050.1F and 5050.4B. FAA and the National
Park Service (U.S. Department of Interior) may prepare a joint Record
of Decision.

    Specifically, Southern Star proposes to abandon in place four
compressor units (Units 1 through 4), each rated at 440 horsepower, at
its Tonganoxie Compressor Station. These units, installed in 1949, were
used in routing natural gas from Southern Star's Ottawa Compressor
Station and McLouth Gas Storage field to system deliveries in the St.
Joe, Atchison, Fall City, and Tonganoxie-Fairfax areas. Southern Star
has deemed the utilization of these units to be unnecessary in serving
peak firm service, and the abandonment will save on maintenance costs
and avoid the need for future capital cost.
    Any questions regarding the applications should be directed to
David N. Roberts, Staff Analyst, Regulatory Compliance, Southern Star
Central Gas Pipeline, Inc., 4700 Highway 56, Owensboro, KY 42301, or

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0791; Project Identifier AD-2020-00676-R]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation
Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (Sikorsky) Model S-92A
helicopters. This proposed AD was prompted by the manufacturer
discovering non-conforming threads, resulting in a life limit reduction
on multiple landing gear components including threaded hinge pins and
main landing gear (MLG) and nose landing gear (NLG) actuator pins. This
proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the landing gear for
components with non-conforming threads and removal of any

nonconforming threaded hinge pin and MLG and NLG actuator pin. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 23,
2020.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0791;
Project Identifier AD-2020-00676-R'' at the beginning of your comments.
The most helpful comments reference a specific portion of the proposal,
explain the reason for any recommended change, and include supporting
data. The FAA will consider all comments received by the closing date
and may amend this NPRM because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact received about this proposal.

Confidential Business Information

    Confidential Business Information (CBI) is commercial or financial
information that is both customarily and actually treated as private by
its owner. Under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552),
CBI is exempt from public disclosure. If your comments responsive to
this NPRM contain commercial or financial information that is
customarily treated as private, that you actually treat as private, and
that is relevant or responsive to this NPRM, it is important that you
clearly designate the submitted comments as CBI. Please mark each page
of your submission containing CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat
such marked submissions as confidential under the FOIA, and they will
not be placed in the public docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing
CBI should be sent to Dorie Resnik, Aerospace Engineer, Boston ACO,
FAA, 1200 District Avenue, Burlington, MA 01803. Any commentary that
the FAA receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be
placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA proposes to adopt a new AD for Sikorsky Model S-92A
helicopters, with serial numbers (S/Ns) 920006 through 920334,
inclusive. The FAA learned of a quality escape involving the
manufacture of landing gear components, including the threaded hinge
pin and the MLG and NLG actuator pins, that were not made to
specification and have non-conforming threads that reduce the fatigue
life of the component. Failure of the threaded hinge pin or the
actuator pins on the MLG or NLG may result in collapse of the landing
gear and reduced ability of the flight crew to land the helicopter.
This proposed AD would require the removal from service of certain
serial-numbered threaded hinge pins part number (P/N) 92250-12281-101
and certain serial-numbered MLG and NLG actuator pins P/N 92250-12287-
101 and 92250-12287-103 identified in this proposed AD. This condition,
if not addressed, could result in failure of components on the MLG and
NLG, collapse of the landing gear and damage to the helicopter, and
reduced ability to control the helicopter during landing.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM because the agency evaluated all the
relevant information and determined the unsafe condition described
previously is likely to exist or develop in other products of the same
type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Alert Service
Bulletin 92-32-008, Basic Issue, dated January 21, 2020 (``the ASB'').
The ASB describes procedures for a one-time inspection and replacement
of non-conforming components on the MLG and NLG. This service
information is reasonably available because the interested parties have
access to it through their normal course of business or by the means
identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require a one-time inspection of the landing
gear and removal from service of threaded hinge pins and MLG and NLG
actuator pins with non-conforming threads.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    This proposed AD would require replacement of only affected hinge
pins and MLG and NLG actuator pins. The ASB requires replacement of
additional parts, such as the MLG and NLG crossbolt and the MLG and NLG
upper nut. The FAA has determined that the MLG and NLG crossbolt and
the MLG and NLG upper nut fail in a safe and contained manner and
therefore are not subject to this AD.
    In addition, this proposed AD would require this one-time
inspection to occur within 300 hours time in service after the
effective date of this AD and any affected hinge pins and MLG and NLG
actuator pins be removed from service before further flight. The ASB
requires that the inspection and replacement of the affected hinge pins

and MLG and NLG actuator pins occur no later than January 21, 2021.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, as proposed, would affect 85
helicopters of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.

 assembly, and NLG kit).             landing gear).                         each helicopter).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The FAA has no way of determining the number of
helicopters that might need these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per

 103.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    According to the manufacturer, some of the costs of this proposed
AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on
affected individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage for
affected individuals. As a result, The FAA has included all costs in
its cost estimate.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA has determined that this proposed AD would not have
federalism implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD
would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation: Docket No. FAA-2020-0791; Project
Identifier AD-2020-00676-R.

(a) Comments Due Date

    The FAA must receive comments by October 23, 2020.

(b) Affected ADs

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA may grant exemptions from
the FMCSRs. Pursuant to the implementing regulations, FMCSA must
publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register (49
CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public with an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305).
    The decision of the Agency must be published in the Federal
Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)). If the Agency denies the request, it must
state the reason for doing so. If the decision is to grant the
exemption, the notice must specify the person or class of persons
receiving the exemption and the regulatory provision or provisions from
which an exemption is granted. The notice must specify the effective
period of the exemption (up to 5 years) and explain the terms and
conditions of the exemption. The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR
381.315(c) and 49 CFR 381.300(b)).

CMW's Application for Exemption

    CMW has applied for an exemption from 49 CFR 393.65(d) to allow the
use of gravity or syphon fed fuel systems for auxiliary equipment
installed on or used in connection with CMVs that operate only when the
CMV is not operating on the highway. A copy of the application is
included in the docket referenced at the beginning of this notice.
    Section 393.65 of the FMCSRs prescribes certain requirements that
are applicable to all CMV fuel systems. The requirements in this
section apply to systems for containing and supplying fuel for the
operation of (1) motor vehicles or (2) auxiliary equipment installed
on, or used in connection with, motor vehicles. Section 393.65(d)
prohibits a fuel system from supplying fuel by gravity or syphon feed
directly to the carburetor or injector.
    CMW is a family of companies focused on the installation,

maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of underground pipe and
cable for the telecom, oil, electricity, gas, water, and wastewater
industries. Its family of companies includes Ditch Witch[supreg],
Subsite[supreg] Electronics, DW/TXS[supreg], HammerHead[supreg],
Radius[supreg] HDD, American Augers[supreg], Trencor[supreg] and
MTI[supreg] Equipment. CMW designs, manufactures and sells a range of
products to cover the full life-cycle of underground pipe and cable,
including horizontal directional drills, walk and ride trenchers,
utility loaders, vacuum excavators, asset locators, pipe rehabilitation
solutions and after-market tools.
    Some of the equipment designed and manufactured by CMW utilize
small, commercially available internal combustion engines to power
auxiliary equipment that is permanently mounted on a CMV. CMW states
that while auxiliary equipment that is permanently mounted to CMVs is
considered part of the CMV and subject to the requirements of 49 CFR
393.65(d), it ``has identified that currently there is uneven roadside
enforcement with regard to the use of gravity fed fuel tanks on
auxiliary equipment installed on or used in connection with commercial
motor vehicles.''
    In support of its application, CMW states:

    Most small commercially available internal combustion engines
used on auxiliary equipment are equipped from the factory with
gravity fed fuel tanks attached to the engine . . . The cost of
modifying these small internal combustion engines to remove the fuel
tank from the engine and to re-engineer the fuel delivery system to
use a fuel pump to pump fuel from the now removed fuel tank to the
internal combustion engine requires electrical wiring to be run from
the commercial motor vehicle to operate the fuel pump. Manufacturers
who have gone to this additional expense, question the reasoning of
removing the fuel tank from above the engine and placing it beside
the engine and equipping the system with a fuel pump to transfer
fuel from the tank to the engine. Since the auxiliary equipment only
operates when the CMV is not operating on the highway there does not
seem to be any legitimate safety reason for this requirement. A
review of previous Federal Register notices does not describe why
this requirement was added for fuel systems for auxiliary equipment
on commercial motor vehicles, when this equipment is not operating
while the CMV is operating on the highway.

    The exemption would permit CMW and all other CMV operators to
utilize auxiliary equipment with gravity fed fuel systems when the CMV
is not operating on the highway. CMW believes that granting the
temporary exemption will maintain a level of safety that is equivalent
to or greater than the level of safety achieved without the exemption
because the auxiliary equipment will not be operating while the CMV is
operating on the highway. CMW ``believes that because the engine on the
auxiliary equipment will not be operating while the CMV is traveling on
the highway, so the potential risk of gravity fed fuel systems leaking
on a hot or operating engine will not be possible, thereby eliminating
the possibility of fire from the auxiliary equipment.''

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315 and 31136(e), FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on CMW's application for an
exemption from the requirements of 49 CFR 393.65(d). All comments

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On March 7, 2014, Pennsylvania submitted a formal revision to its
SIP. The SIP revision consists of updated MVEBs for NOX for
the 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS. The SIP revision also includes an updated
point source inventory for NOX.
    On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38856), EPA established the 1997 8-Hour
Ozone NAAQS. On April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23858), Lehigh, Northampton, and
Carbon Counties were designated as nonattainment for the 1997 8-Hour
Ozone NAAQS as a part of the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton Nonattainment
Area. On June 26, 2007, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP) submitted a request for redesignation and a SIP
revision which consisted of a maintenance plan, a 2002 base year
inventory and MVEBs for transportation conformity purposes. On March 2,
2008 (73 FR 11557), EPA approved the SIP revision as well as the
redesignation request made by PADEP; therefore the Allentown-Bethlehem-
Easton Nonattainment Area was redesignated as an attainment area.
    The currently SIP-approved MVEBs for the Allentown Maintenance Area
were developed using the Highway Mobile Source Emission Factor Model
(MOBILE6.2). On March 2, 2010 (75 FR 9411), EPA published a notice of
availability for the Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator (MOVES2010)
model for use in developing MVEBs for SIPs and for conducting
transportation conformity analyses. EPA commenced a two year grace
period after which time the MOVES2010 model would have to be used for
transportation conformity purposes. The two year grace period was
scheduled to end on March 2, 2012. On February 27, 2012 (77 FR 11394),
EPA published a final rule extending the grace period for one more year
to March 2, 2013 to ensure adequate time for affected parties to have
the capacity to use the MOVES model to develop or update the applicable
MVEBs in SIPs and to conduct conformity analyses. On September 8, 2010,
EPA released MOVES2010a, which is a minor update to MOVES2010 and which
is used by Pennsylvania in this SIP revision.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    This SIP revision includes an update to the MVEBs for
NOX for the years 2009 (interim year) and 2018 (maintenance
year) that were produced using the MOVES2010a model. This SIP revision
also includes an update to the point source inventory for
NOX. The MVEBs, as well as the point source inventory, were
not updated for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), therefore providing
information about VOCs in the tables below is not applicable (N/A). A
comparison between the previous point source inventory and the updated
point source inventory is provided in ``Table 1, Summary of Point
Source Inventory in tpd.'' The previously approved MVEBs were produced
using the Mobile Source Emission Factor Model (MOBILE6.2). A summary of
the updated MOVES-based emissions and previously approved MOBILE6.2-
based emissions for the years 2004, 2009, and 2018 is provided in
``Table 2. Summary of Motor Vehicle Emissions in tpd.'' Even though
there is an emissions increase in the MOVES-based MVEBs, the increase
is not due to an increase in emissions from mobile sources. The
increase is due to the fact that the MOVES model provides more accurate
emissions estimates than MOBILE6.2, rather than growth that had not
been anticipated in the maintenance plan. Also, part of the update of
the MVEBs is the addition of a 2 ton per day (tpd) safety margin for
NOX. The MVEBs that will be utilized for transportation
conformity purposes and include the safety margins are presented in
``Table 3. Updated MVEBs in tpd.'' These safety margins were added
because emissions in the interim (2009) and maintenance (2018) years
are significantly less than the attainment year emissions, which is the
year that the Allentown Maintenance Area attained the standard.
Additionally, Table 3 presents the portion of the MVEBs allotted to
each metropolitan planning organization (MPO). In the case of the
Allentown Maintenance Area, there are two MPOs involved in
transportation planning for the counties that are a part of the
maintenance area. The Lehigh Valley MPO serves Lehigh and Northampton
Counties while the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA) MPO serves
Carbon County. A detailed summary of EPA's review and rationale for
proposing to approve this SIP revision may be found in the Technical
Support Documents (TSDs) prepared in support of this proposed
rulemaking action and are available on line at http://www.regulations.gov, Docket number EPA-R03-OAR-2014-0628.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving Pennsylvania's SIP revision request from March 7,
2014 to update the MVEBs for the Allentown Maintenance Area to reflect
the use of the MOVES model. EPA is also proposing to approve the update
to the point source inventory. EPA is approving this SIP revision
because it will allow the Allentown Maintenance Area to continue to be
in attainment of the 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS, and our in depth review
of the SIP revision leads EPA to conclude that the updated MVEBs meet
the adequacy requirements set forth in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4)(i)-(vi), and
the updated MVEBs have been correctly calculated to reflect the use of
the MOVES model. As a result of EPA's approval, these updated MVEBs
will be both adequate and SIP-approved for purposes of transportation
conformity. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because
EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's
Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve
as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are
filed. This rule will be effective on July 15, 2014 without further
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by June 16, 2014. If EPA
receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

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 July 15, 2014. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking action. This rulemaking action pertaining to the update of
the MVEBs and point and area source inventories for the Allentown
Maintenance Area may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce
its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
