The following is the ecotoxicity assessment for phosphoric acid salts in support of the Registration Review Scoping Document.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS

Executive Summary

Based on the available information for phosphoric acid salts the Agency does not foresee the need for additional ecotoxicity data for a new risk assessment and has waived all hazard and exposure data on these chemicals. These active ingredients are naturally occurring, have a non-toxic mode of action, and are of low toxicity.  There is reasonable certainty of no harm to the non-target species from exposure to these chemicals in pesticide products when they are used according to label instructions.  Environmental hazard and fate data requirements for the Registration Review of Phosphoric Acid Salts have been fully satisfied for this Scoping document. An evaluation of risk to endangered/ threatened species will be completed for the final registration review.

Background

Phosphoric Acid Salts

Iron (ferric) phosphate (034903) is used in controlling snails and slugs on food crops and ornamentals at outdoor and indoor sites. Iron phosphate is a common chemical with a variety of uses, including as a human nutritional supplement and as an ingredient in fertilizer. It is applied to soil as part of a pellet that also contains bait to attract snails and slugs. When the pests eat the pellets, the iron phosphate interferes with calcium metabolism in their gut, causing the snails and slugs to stop eating almost immediately resulting in death three to six days later (Iron Phosphate Fact Sheet, 2001).  Iron (ferric) phosphate was first registered by the Agency in 1997. There are currently four registered products containing the active ingredient. All four products are end-use products (EPs). Iron phosphate is the sole active ingredient in three of the products. Spinosad is an additional active ingredient for one of the products. There are no currently approved uses for this chemical as an inert ingredient in pesticide products. The maximum application rate is 0.5  -  1.0 lbs ai/1000 sq ft.

Potassium phosphate (076413) is used as a fungicide against powdery mildew on food crops. It does have a toxic mode of action, so is therefore not classified as a biochemical. However, it is eligible for reduced data requirements because of its simple structure and natural occurrence (Potassium Phosphate Fact Sheet, 2009). Potassium phosphate was first registered by the Agency in 1998.  There are currently four registered products containing the active ingredient. All four products are EPs. Potassium phosphate is not the sole active ingredient in these products. Mono- and di- potassium salts of phosphorous acid or sulfur are additional active ingredient for the products.

Dipotassium phosphate (176407) is also used as a fungicide against a broad spectrum of diseases including powdery mildew, leaf spot, root dot, downy mildew, etc. on turf, ornamentals, and non-bearing fruit and nut tree crops. It appears to have a mixed mode of action involving direct toxicity to the pathogen, aided by a boosting of the plant's defense mechanisms due to the fertilizing properties of the compound (Dipotassium Phosphate Fact Sheet, 2002).  Dipotassium phosphate was first registered by the Agency in 2002.  There is currently one registered product containing the active ingredient. This product is an EP. Dipotassium phosphate is not the sole active ingredient in this product. Mono- and di- potassium salts of phosphorous acid are the additional active ingredients for the product. There are no currently approved uses for this chemical as an inert ingredient in pesticide products.

Ecological Effects

Iron (ferric) phosphate

As a pesticide active ingredient, iron phosphate is used in controlling snails and slugs on food crops and ornamentals at outdoor and indoor sites. Iron phosphate is a common chemical with a variety of uses, including as a human nutritional supplement and as an ingredient in fertilizer. The substance is not harmful to humans, to other non-target organisms, or to the environment. It is an alternative to a more toxic chemical that has been used for controlling snails and slugs.

Iron phosphate is applied to the soli as granular bait (0.5  -  1 lb ai/1000 sq ft; 2.4 - 4.9 g/ m[2]). Use sites include food crops, ornamentals, lawns and gardens, and greenhouses.

Assessing Risks to the Environment Snails and slugs are more sensitive to the effects of iron phosphate than are other organisms. No toxicity was seen in mammals (LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg), birds, or fish. For several other organisms, including earthworms and certain ground beetles, no harmful effects are expected if users follow the application rates and use directions on the label. A study (Kuhner, 1996) conducted on ground beetles (Poecilus cupreus L) found that tested application rate of 10 g/m[2] iron phosphate showed no effect under field conditions. A reproduction study conducted on Rove Beetles (Aleocharu bilineata Gyll) also found no effects after iron phosphate exposure of 10 g/m[2] for 14 days (Almond 1996).  Wachter (1996), tested earthworms (Eisenia fetida) using artificial soil and found LC50 >1,000 mg/kg after exposure to iron phosphate. The exposure of non-target insects and earthworms to iron phosphate use as snail bait will not result in toxic risk. The tested application rate of 10 g/m[2] showed no effect and is twice the level of the registered maximum application rate (4.9 g/m[2]) (Risk Quotient = 0.0).

Endangered Species Environmental hazard and fate data requirements for the Registration Review of Phosphoric Acid Salts have been fully satisfied for this Scoping document. An evaluation of risk to endangered/ threatened species will be completed for the final registration review.

Potassium Phosphate

Potassium phosphate is naturally occurring, has had widespread use with no adverse effects, but has a toxic mode of action on fungi. This compound does not share any common mechanisms of toxicity with other pesticide active ingredients and is used as an agricultural fertilizer and a buffering agent in pesticide formulations. There are no reported adverse effects from these uses and toxicology studies submitted indicated low mammalian toxicity (rat LD50 > 5,000 mg/kg). Therefore, no impact on the potential for toxic effects from the pesticidal use is expected when added to the other uses of potassium phosphate.

Data waivers for ecological effects studies were requested and supported based on the current use as a pesticide inert ingredient and fertilizer, and low acute mammalian toxicity. In addition, potassium phosphate is ubiquitous in nature, and no adverse effects have been reported on nontarget species with current uses. Risk to nontarget species is minimal due to the use pattern, application methods, and mitigation of nontarget aquatic organism toxicity with appropriate precautionary label statements under "Environmental Hazards."

Endangered Species Environmental hazard and fate data requirements for the Registration Review of Phosphoric Acid Salts have been fully satisfied for this Scoping document. An evaluation of risk to endangered/ threatened species will be completed for the final registration review.

Dipotassium Phosphate

Dipotassium phosphate is commonly used as a foliar fertilizer. There have been no adverse ecological effects noted from its usage as a fertilizer. As a result, the data requirements for nontarget organisms were waived. According to the Mineral Acids Red (dated December, 1993), phosphoric acid (and its salts) generally dissociates and releases hydrogen ions in the environment. As a result, risk to nontarget organisms is expected to be minimal. BPPD believes that the use of dipotassium phosphate according to label use directions should result in no significant adverse effects to wildlife.

Endangered Species Environmental hazard and fate data requirements for the Registration Review of Phosphoric Acid Salts have been fully satisfied for this Scoping document. An evaluation of risk to endangered/ threatened species will be completed for the final registration review.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Office of the Secretary

[OST Docket No. DOT-OST-2010-0140]

Notice of Submission of Proposed Information Collection to OMB

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, as
amended, this notice announces the Department of Transportation's
(Department) intention to reinstate an Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) control number for the collection and posting of certain aviation

consumer protection-related information from U.S. carriers and foreign
carriers. On April 25, 2011, the DOT issued a final rule that, among
other things, extended existing consumer protection requirements that
previously applied only to U.S. carriers to foreign carriers and
required that certain U.S. and foreign air carriers report tarmac delay
information to the DOT for passenger operations that experience a
tarmac delay time of 3 hours or more at a U.S. airport (See, DOT-OST-
2010-0140). This request seeks to reinstate the control number that is
associated with the information collection requirements in that rule,
OMB Control Number 2105-0561.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: Submission of Miscellaneous Information Collection Systems
as Required by the Department's Rules to Enhance Airline Passenger
Protections.
    OMB Control Number: 2105-0561.
    On April 25, 2011, the Department issued a rule to enhance airline
passenger protections that, among other things, extended to foreign
carriers the requirement to post tarmac delay plans, customer service
plans, and contracts of carriage on their Web sites. This requirement
had previously only applied to U.S. carriers. Airlines are also
required to adopt a Customer Service Plan, audit adherence to the plan
annually, and retain the results for two years. In addition, a prior
rule issued on December 30, 2009, required that each reporting air
carrier (i.e., currently U.S. carriers that account for at least 1
percent of domestic scheduled passenger revenues) display on its Web
site information on each listed flights' on-time performance for the
previous month for both the carrier's flights and those of its non-
reporting code-share carriers. The rules also require that U.S. air
carriers that operate passenger service and foreign air carriers that
operate scheduled passenger service to or from the U.S. retain for two
years certain information about any ground delay that lasts at least
three hours.
    The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) and its implementing
regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to issue two
notices seeking public comment on information collection activities
before OMB may approve paperwork packages. 44 U.S.C. 3506, 3507; 5 CFR
1320.5, 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.12. On May 22, 2017, OST published a 60-day
notice in the Federal Register soliciting comment on ICRs for which the
agency was seeking OMB approval (82 FR 97 at 23486). OST received one
comment after issuing this notice. The commenter, Airport Council
International (ACI) strongly supported the renewal of this control
number. Accordingly, the Department announces that these information
collection activities have been re-evaluated and certified under 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and forwarded to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5
CFR 1320.12(c).
    Before OMB decides whether to approve these proposed collections of
information, it must provide 30 days for public comment. 44 U.S.C.
3507(b); 5 CFR 1320.12(d). Federal law requires OMB to approve or
disapprove paperwork packages between 30 and 60 days after the 30-day
notice is published. 44 U.S.C. 3507(b)-(c); 5 CFR 1320.12(d); see also
60 FR 44978, 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). The 30-day notice informs the
regulated community to file relevant comments to OMB and affords the
agency adequate time to digest public comments before it renders a
decision. 60 FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995). Therefore, respondents should
submit their respective comments to OMB within 30 days of publication
to best ensure their full consideration. 5 CFR 1320.12(c); see also 60
FR 44983 (Aug. 29, 1995).
    This notice addresses five information collection requirements
concerning information collection requirements set forth in the
Department's airline passenger protection rules. The reinstated OMB
control number will be applicable to all information collection systems
set forth in this notice. For each of these information collections,
the title, a description of the respondents, and an estimate of the
annual recordkeeping and periodic reporting burden (rounded to the
nearest hour) are set forth below:
    1. Requirement to post customer service plans and contracts of
carriage on a carrier's Web site. (259.2 and 259.6).
    Title: Posting of Customer Service Plan and Contract of Carriage on
Web site.
    Respondents: U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger or
public charter service and foreign air carriers operating scheduled
passenger or public charter service to or from the United States, using
any aircraft with a designed seating capacity of 30 or more seats.
Applicable to U.S. carriers that have a Web site and foreign carriers
that have a Web site marketed toward U.S. consumers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 45 U.S. airlines and 65 foreign
carriers.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: 15 minutes per year for
each U.S. carrier and foreign carrier. The estimate was calculated by
multiplying the estimated time (15 min) to post an updated copy of the
carrier's customer service and/or contract of carriage on its Web site
per year (if changes are made) by the number of updates per carrier in
each year (1) for U.S and foreign carriers.
    Estimated Total Burden on Respondents: 28 hours (1,680 minutes,
average of 15 minutes per U.S. carrier to post plans and contracts of
carriage on Web site).
    Frequency: One time per respondent.

    2. Requirement to retain for two years information about any tarmac
delay that lasts at least three hours. (259.2 and 259.4).
    Title: Retaining Ground Delay Information.
    Respondents: U.S. carriers that operate or market scheduled or
public charter passenger service using any aircraft with a designed
seating capacity of 30 or more seats, and foreign air carriers that
operate or market scheduled or public charter passenger service to and
from the United States using any aircraft with a designed seating
capacity of 30 or more seats. To be covered, the tarmac delay must have
occurred at a U.S. large hub, medium hub, small hub or non-hub airport.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61 U.S. and 93 foreign carriers.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: A maximum of 88 hours
(5,280 minutes) for a U.S. respondent and a maximum of 32 hours (1,920
minutes) for a foreign respondent. The estimate was calculated
multiplying the estimated time to retain information about one ground
delay (2 hours) by the total number of ground delay incidents lasting
at least three hours per U.S. respondent (a maximum of 44 incidents,
derived from analysis of tarmac delays for CY2016). For foreign
respondents, the estimate was similarly calculated by multiplying the
estimated time to retain information about one ground delay (4 hours)
by the total number of ground delay incidents lasting at least three
hours for CY2016 (a maximum of 8 incidents).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: A maximum of 680 hours (40,800
minutes) for all respondents. For U.S. carriers, the subtotal was
determined by multiplying the sum of the total per report time (2
hours) for U.S. carriers by the total number of CY2016 ground delay
incidents lasting at least three hours for all U.S. carriers (84 total
incidents). For foreign carriers the subtotal was determined by
multiplying the per report time (4 hours) for foreign carriers
multiplied by the total number of ground delay incidents lasting at
least three hours for the foreign carriers (168 total incidents). The
estimate was calculated by adding the sum of the two subtotals for all
CY2016 tarmac delays lasting at least three hours (168 hours for U.S.
carriers plus 512 hours for foreign carriers).
    Frequency: A maximum of 44 ground delay information sets to retain
per year for a single respondent. (N.b. Some air carriers may not
experience any ground delay incidents of at least three hours in each
year, while one air carrier experienced 44 three-hour plus delays in
CY2016 per data reported to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics).
    3. Requirement that certain U.S. and foreign air carriers retain
for two years the results of its annual self-audit of its compliance
with its Customer Service Plan. (259.2 and 259.5)
    Title: Retaining Self-audit of Customer Service Plan.
    Respondents: U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger service
using any aircraft with a designed seating capacity of 30 or more
seats, and foreign air carriers that operate scheduled passenger
service to and from the United States using any aircraft with a
designed seating capacity of 30 or more seats. Applicable to U.S.
carriers that have a Web site and foreign carriers that have a Web site
marketed toward U.S. consumers.
    Number of Respondents: 45 U.S. and 65 foreign carriers.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: 15 minutes per year for
each respondent. The estimate was calculated by multiplying the
estimated time to retain a copy of the carrier's self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service Plan by the number of audits per
carrier in a given year (1).
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: A maximum of 28 (1,680 minutes) for
all respondents. The estimate was calculated by multiplying the time in
a given year for each carrier to retain a copy of its self-audit of its
compliance with its Customer Service Plan (15 minutes) by the total
number of covered carriers (115 carriers).
    Frequency: One information set to retain per year for each
respondent.
    4. Requires that each large U.S. carrier display on its Web site,
at a point before the consumer selects a flight for purchase, the
following information for each listed flight regarding its on-time
performance during the last reported month: The percentage of arrivals
that were on time (within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival time), the
percentage of arrivals that were more than 30 minutes late (with
special highlighting if the flight was more than 30 minutes late more
than 50 percent of the time), and the percentage of flight
cancellations if the flight is cancelled more than 5% of the time. In
addition, a marketing/reporting carrier display delay data for its non-
reporting code-share carrier(s). (234.11)
    Title: Displaying On-time performance Information on Carrier Web
site.
    Respondents: Currently every U.S. carrier that accounts for at
least one percent of scheduled passenger revenue and maintains a Web
site. For travel on or after January 1, 2018, every U.S. carrier that
accounts for at least 0.5 percent and less than 1.0 percent of domestic
scheduled passenger revenue and that market flights directly to
consumers via a Web site.
    Number of Respondents: 10 carriers presently; 11 carriers beginning
January 1, 2018.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: 2 hours per month (24
hours) to cover both updates of a carrier's own delay data and updates
of code-share delay data.
    Estimated total annual burden: No more than 264 hours (15,840
minutes) a year for all respondents. The estimate was calculated by
multiplying the total number of hours per carrier per year for
management of data links (24) by the number of currently covered
carriers (11). For the first year, the annual burden will also include
the 4,673 (280,380) hours for one newly reporting carrier.
    Frequency: Updating information for each flight listed on Web site
12 times per year (1 time per month) for each respondent (for both own
carrier delay data and code-share delay data).
    5. Requirement that certain carriers report tarmac delay data for
tarmac delays exceeding 3 hours to the Department monthly. (244.2)
    Title: Reporting Tarmac Delay Data for Tarmac Delays Exceeding 3
Hours (to the extent such information is not reported by U.S. carriers
under 14 CFR part 234).
    Respondents: U.S. carriers that operate scheduled passenger service
or public charter service using any aircraft with a designed seating
capacity of 30 or more seats, and foreign air carriers that operate
scheduled passenger service to and from the United States using any
aircraft with a designed seating capacity of 30 or more seats. To be
covered, the tarmac delay must have occurred at a U.S. large hub,
medium hub, small hub or non-hub airport.
    Number of Respondents: 61 U.S. and 70 foreign carriers.
    Estimated Annual Burden on Respondents: 0.0 to 22.0 hours per U.S.
respondent (the latter if 44 three-hour plus tarmac delays must be
reported) and 0.0 to 4 hours per foreign respondent (the latter if 8
three-hour plus tarmac delays must be reported). This is estimating
that each report takes 30 minutes to submit.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 106 hours (6,360 minutes) for all
respondents.
    Frequency: One information set to submit per incident for each
respondent that experiences a tarmac delay of 3 hours or more (212
three-hour plus tarmac delay reports total were

submitted in CY16 to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics).
    We invite comments on (a) whether the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the Department's estimate of the burden of
the proposed information collection; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of
information technology. All comments will also become a matter of
public record on the docket.

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 60380; November 26, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0940
to amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Dimmit County Airport, Carrizo Springs, TX. Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraphs 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 designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends 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 Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within 6.5 mile radius (formerly 7.5 mile radius) of
Dimmit County Airport, Carrizo Springs, TX. The geographic coordinates
of the airport are also being updated to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.
    This action is necessary due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Dimmit NDB and cancellation of the associated
instrument procedures.

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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by Amendment
No. 1

    FINRA is proposing revisions to the margin requirements for Covered
Agency Transactions in FINRA Rule 4210 as approved pursuant to SR-
FINRA-2015-036.\8\ Broadly, the Proposed Rule Change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1 would: (1) Eliminate the two percent maintenance margin
requirement that applies to non-exempt accounts under FINRA Rule 4210;
(2) subject to specified conditions and limitations, permit FINRA
members to take a capital charge in lieu of collecting margin for
excess net mark to market losses on Covered Agency Transactions; and
(3) make revisions designed to streamline, consolidate and clarify the
Covered Agency Transaction rule language.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ See Exchange Act Release No. 78081 (June 15, 2016), 81 FR
40364 (June 21, 2016) (Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 3 and Order
Granting Accelerated Approval to a Proposed Rule Change to Amend
FINRA Rule 4210 (Margin Requirements) to Establish Margin
Requirements for the TBA Market, as Modified by Amendment Nos. 1, 2,
and 3; File No. SR-FINRA-2015-036). FINRA has extended the
implementation date of the margin requirements (other than the risk
limit determination requirements that became effective on December
15, 2016) pursuant to SR-FINRA-2015-036 on several occasions, most
recently to October 26, 2021. See Notice, 86 FR at 28162.
    \9\ See Notice, 86 FR at 28163.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Amendment No. 1 would make the following changes to the Proposed
Rule Change: (1) Modify the definition of ``non-margin counterparty''
to exclude small cash counterparties and other exempted counterparties;
and (2) define a FINRA member's ``specified net capital deductions'' as
the net capital deductions required by paragraph (e)(2)(H)(ii)d.1 of
FINRA Rule 4210 with respect to all unmargined excess net mark to
market losses of its counterparties, except to the extent that the
member, in good faith, expects such excess net mark to market losses to
be margined by the close of business on the fifth business day after
they arose.\10\ In addition, Amendment No. 1 states that, if the
Commission approves the Proposed Rule Change, as modified by Amendment
No. 1, FINRA will announce the effective date of the Proposed Rule
Change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, in a Regulatory Notice to be
published no later than 60 days following Commission approval. The
effective date would be between nine and ten months following the
Commission's approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ Amendment No. 1 also contains some conforming changes to
paragraph numbering to accommodate the proposed modifications to the
rule text. See Exhibit 4 to Amendment No. 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Proceedings To Determine Whether To Approve or Disapprove SR-
FINRA-2021-010 and Grounds for Disapproval Under Consideration

    The Commission is instituting proceedings pursuant to Section
19(b)(2)(B) of the Exchange Act to determine whether the Proposed Rule
Change, as modified by Amendment No. 1, should be approved or
disapproved.\11\ Institution of proceedings is appropriate at this time
in view of the legal and policy issues raised by the Proposed Rule
Change, as modified by Amendment No. 1. Institution of proceedings does
not indicate that the Commission has reached any conclusions with
respect to the Proposed Rule Change, as modified by Amendment No. 1.

[Docket No. FAA-2018-0093; Product Identifier 2017-CE-047-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Gliders

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2017-11-
03 for DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-500MB gliders that are equipped
with a Solo 2625 02 engine modified with a fuel injection system
following the instructions of Solo Kleinmoteren GmbH Technische
Mitteilung (TM)/Service Bulletin (SB) 4600-3 ``Fuel Injection System''
and identified as Solo 2625 02i. This proposed AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as failure of the connecting rod bearing resulting from too
much load on the rod bearings from the engine control unit. This
proposed AD adds DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000M gliders equipped
with Solo 2625 02i engines to the applicability. We are issuing this
proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 29, 2018.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the instructions for submitting comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2018-0093;
Product Identifier 2017-CE-047-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this proposed AD. We will consider
all comments received by the closing date and may amend this proposed
AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this proposed AD.

Discussion

    We issued AD 2017-11-03, Amendment 39-18902 (82 FR 24015; May 25,
2017) (``AD 2017-11-03''). That AD required actions intended to address
an unsafe condition on DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-500MB gliders and
was based on mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
originated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Community. That
MCAI is EASA AD No.: 2016-0254, dated December 15, 2016, correction
dated January 4, 2017 (referred to after this as ``the MCAI'').
    Since we issued AD 2017-11-03, the FAA has now type certificated
the DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000M glider and that glider model is
equipped with a Solo 2625 02i engine. Since this model has the same
engine, it is subject to the same unsafe condition in AD 2017-11-03.
    You may examine the MCAI on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0093.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH has issued Technische Mitteilung (English
translation: Service Bulletin) Nr. 4600-6, Ausgabe 1 (English
translation: Issue 1), dated November 16, 2016, approved for
incorporation by reference on June 29, 2017 (82 FR 24015; May 25,
2017). The service information describes procedures for a software
update that provides new settings to the engine control unit (ECU) to
lower the load on the bearings of the crankshaft. 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 of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, they
have notified us of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because
we evaluated all information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD will affect 6 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it would take about 2 work-hours per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour.

    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on
U.S. operators to be $1,020, or $170 per product.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to small airplanes, gliders,
balloons, airships, domestic business jet transport airplanes, and
associated appliances to the Director of the Policy and Innovation
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.

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 removing Amendment 39-18902 (82 FR
24015; May 25, 2017), and adding the following new AD:

DG Flugzeugbau GmbH: Docket No. FAA-2018-0093; Product Identifier
2017-CE-047-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by March 29, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD replaces AD 2017-11-03, Amendment 39-18902 (82 FR 24015;
May 25, 2017) (``AD 2017-11-03'').

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to DG Flugzeugbau GmbH DG-500MB and DG-1000M
gliders, all serial numbers, certificated in any category, that are
equipped with Solo 2625 02 engines modified with a fuel injection
system following the instructions of Solo Kleinmotoren GmbH Service
Bulletin (SB)/Technische Mitteilung (TM) 4600-3 ``Fuel Injection
System'' and re-identified as Solo 2625 02i, or equipped with a Solo
2625 02i engine at manufacture, and have engine serial numbers (S/N)
through 369/207, except engine S/N's 354/194, 356/196, 357/197, 358/
198, 361/201, 362/202, 363/203, 364/204, and 368/206.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 73: Engine fuel
and control.

(e) Reason

    This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness
information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another
country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation
product. AD 2017-11-03 resulted from failure of the connecting rod
bearing because of too much load on the rod bearings from the engine
control unit. This AD results from the need to add an airplane model
to the applicability. We are issuing this AD to prevent such failure
that could lead to the potential of an in-flight shut-down and
engine fire and result in loss of control and to include FAA type
certificated DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-1000M gliders with Solo
2625 02i engines.

(f) Actions and Compliance

    (1) For DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-500MB gliders: Unless
already done, within the next 60 days after June 29, 2017 (the
effective date of AD 2017-11-03), modify the engine by installing a
software update for the engine control unit (ECU) following the

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0315; FRL-9947-39-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Removal of Gasoline Vapor Recovery
Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving, as a
revision to the Indiana state implementation plan (SIP), submittals
from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) dated
April 27, and September 10, 2015. The submittal concerns the state's
Stage II vapor recovery (Stage II) program for the Indiana portion of
the Chicago (Lake and Porter counties) and the Louisville, Kentucky
(Clark and Floyd counties) ozone nonattainment areas. The submittal
removes Stage II requirements from both nonattainment areas, as a
component of the Indiana ozone SIP. The submittal also includes a
demonstration under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that addresses emission
impacts associated with the removal of the Stage II program. EPA
proposed to approve the state's submittal on February 25, 2016, and
received no comments.

DATES:  This final rule is effective on July 11, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0315. All documents in the docket are listed in
the http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

I. What is being addressed by this document?

    On February 25, 2016, at 81 FR 9391, EPA proposed to approve
amendments to 326 IAC 8-4-6 and 326 IAC 8-4-1 of the Indiana
Administrative Code, removing Stage II requirements from the Indiana's
Federally-approved ozone SIP. The revision included copies of 326 IAC
8-4-1 and 326 IAC 8-4-6, as published in the Indiana Register on March
4, 2015 (Document ID Number: 20150304-IR-326120636FRA); a summary of
state-specific calculations based on EPA guidance used to calculate
program benefits and demonstrate widespread use of onboard refueling
vapor recovery (ORVR) in Indiana; and a section 110(l) demonstration
that includes offset emission documentation that addresses the 2013-
2015 period, when Stage II requirements were waived in Indiana but
widespread use of ORVR had not yet occurred.

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed SIP revision?

    EPA provided a 30-day review and comment period on the proposed
action. The comment period closed on March 28, 2016. EPA received no
comments.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving revisions to the Indiana ozone SIP submitted dated

April 27, and September 10, 2015, concerning the state's Stage II
program in Indiana. EPA finds that the revisions will not interfere
with any applicable requirement concerning attainment, reasonable
further progress or any other applicable CAA requirement.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Indiana
Regulations described in the proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated by reference by the Director of the
Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\ EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available
through www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 5 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information).

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

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 8, 2016. 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 ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[ FERC Docket Nos. CP06-61-000, -001, -002 and CP01-23-003; CA State
Clearinghouse No.<PHONE_NUMBER>; BLM Reference No. CACA-42662]

The California State Lands Commission, and the Bureau of Land
Management; North Baja Pipeline, LLC; Notice of Availability/Completion
of the Final Environmental Impact Statement/Report and Proposed Land
Use Plan Amendment for the Proposed North Baja Pipeline Expansion
Project

June 8, 2007.
    The environmental staffs of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC or Commission), the California State Lands Commission
(CSLC), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) (collectively referred
to as the Agency Staffs) have prepared the final environmental impact
statement/environmental impact report and proposed land use plan
amendment (final EIS/EIR/plan amendment) to address North Baja
Pipeline, LLC's (North Baja) proposed expansion of its natural gas
pipeline system.
    The final EIS/EIR/plan amendment was prepared as required by the
National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), the California Environmental
Quality Act, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. The
purpose of the document is to inform the public and the permitting
agencies about the potential adverse and beneficial environmental
impacts of the proposed North Baja Pipeline Expansion Project (Project
or proposed Project) and its alternatives, and recommend mitigation
measures that would reduce the significant adverse impacts to the
maximum extent possible, and, where feasible, to a less than
significant level. The Agency Staffs have concluded that if the Project
is constructed and operated in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, North Baja's proposed mitigation, and the Agency Staffs'
additional mitigation measures, it would be an environmentally
acceptable action.
    The FERC is the lead Federal agency and will use the document to
consider the environmental impacts that could result if it issues North
Baja a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity and a
Presidential Permit amendment under sections 7 and 3, respectively, of
the Natural Gas Act. The CSLC is the lead State agency and will use the
document to consider North Baja's application to amend its existing
right-

of-way lease across the State's Sovereign and School Lands in
conjunction with the environmental impacts that could result from any
part of the Project in California.
    The BLM is participating as a cooperating agency in the preparation
of the document because the Project would cross Federal land under the
jurisdiction of the Palm Springs-South Coast, El Centro, and Yuma Field
Offices. The Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) is also a cooperating agency
in the preparation of the document because lands administered by the
BOR would be crossed by the Project. Under section 185(f) of the
Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, the BLM has the authority to issue Right-
of-Way Grants for all affected Federal lands. The final EIS/EIR/plan
amendment will be used by the BLM to consider whether to amend North
Baja's existing Right-of-Way Grant and issue Temporary Use Permits for
the installation of approximately 67.4 miles of pipeline and ancillary
facilities across Federal lands managed by the BLM, the BOR, and the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS). The final EIS/EIR/plan amendment
will also be used by the BLM to consider amending the California Desert
Conservation Area Plan (as amended), which would be necessary for
pipeline construction outside of designated utility corridors, as well
as amending the Yuma District Resource Management Plan, which would be
necessary for pipeline construction across the Milpitas Wash Special
Management Area.
    The BLM proposes to adopt the final EIS/EIR/plan amendment per
Title 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Sec.  1506.3 to meet its
responsibilities under NEPA and its planning regulations per Title 43
CFR Part 1610. The BLM will present separate Records of Decision for
the Right-of-Way Grant and the plan amendments for the North Baja
Pipeline Expansion Project after the issuance of the final EIS/EIR/plan
amendment. The concurrence or non-concurrence of the BOR and the FWS
would be considered in the BLM's decision.
    The existing North Baja system is currently certificated by the
FERC to transport 512,500 dekatherms per day (Dthd) (500 million
standard cubic feet per day [MMscfd]) of natural gas in a southbound
direction. Once completed, the expanded system would be capable of
transporting up to 2,932,000 Dthd (2,753 MMscfd) of natural gas from
planned liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage and vaporization terminals
located on the Baja California coast in Mexico in a northbound
direction for delivery to customers in California and Arizona. In
addition to the new volumes from the LNG terminals, North Baja would
continue to offer southbound gas transportation service for several
existing shippers.
    The final EIS/EIR/plan amendment addresses the potential
environmental effects of the construction and operation of the
following facilities proposed by North Baja:
     Up to 79.8 miles of pipeline loop \1\ (B-Line) adjacent to
North Baja's existing pipeline (A-Line) consisting of 11.7 miles of 42-
inch-diameter pipeline extending from the existing Ehrenberg Compressor
Station at milepost (MP) 0.0 in La Paz County, Arizona to the existing
Rannells Trap at MP 11.7 in Riverside County, California, and 68.1
miles of 48-inch-diameter pipeline extending from Rannells Trap to an
interconnection at the U.S.-Mexico border at MP 79.8 in Imperial
County, California;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ A loop is a segment of pipeline that is usually installed
adjacent to an existing pipeline and connected to it at both ends.
The loop allows more gas to be moved through the system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     2.1 miles of 36-inch-diameter pipeline lateral \2\
(Arrowhead Extension) extending from the proposed B-Line at MP 7.4 to
Southern California Gas Company's (SoCalGas) existing Blythe Compressor
Station in Riverside County;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A lateral pipeline typically takes gas from the main system
to deliver it to a customer, local distribution system, or another
interstate transmission system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     45.7 miles of 16-inch-diameter pipeline lateral (Imperial
Irrigation District [IID] Lateral) extending from MP 74.5 of the B-Line
near the existing Ogilby Meter Station to the existing IID El Centro
Generating Station in Imperial County;
     Modifications at the existing Ehrenberg Compressor Station
in LaPaz County and the existing Ogilby Meter Station in Imperial
County to allow northbound flow of natural gas;
     Metering modifications inside the existing El Paso Natural
Gas Company (El Paso) Meter Station at the Ehrenberg Compressor Station
site to allow LNG-source gas to be delivered into the El Paso system;
     One meter station (Blythe-Arrowhead Meter Station) at
SoCalGas' existing Blythe Compressor Station in Riverside County to
measure gas delivery from the North Baja system to SoCalGas;
     One meter station (El Centro Meter Station) at the IID's
existing El Centro Generating Station in Imperial County to measure gas
delivery from the North Baja system to the IID;
     Two taps and crossover piping where the Arrowhead
Extension would connect with the existing A-Line and proposed B-Line in
Riverside County;
     One tap where the IID Lateral would connect with the
proposed B-Line in Imperial County;
     Four pig \3\ launchers;
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A pig is an internal tool that can be used to clean and dry
a pipeline and/or to inspect it for damage or corrosion.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Five pig receivers;
     Nine remote manual valves with automatic shutdown
capability on the B-Line, adjacent to the existing A-Line valve sites;
and
     Four remote manual valves with automatic shutdown
capability on the IID Lateral.
