DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration

[Docket No. DOT-NHTSA-2023-0002]

Request for Comment; Draft Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
(MMUCC) Guideline, Sixth Edition

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Request for public comment: 60-Day notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) provides
States a guideline for describing crashes involving motor vehicles in-
transport to generate the information necessary to improve traffic
safety. The primary benefit of using MMUCC is increased crash data
uniformity so traffic safety insights can be developed more quickly.
Since its inception in 1998, MMUCC has been a voluntary guideline for
States; however, standardization of crash data is essential to NHTSA
and its safety stakeholders. The crash data that NHTSA obtains from the
States supports several of NHTSA's efforts such as the Fatality
Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Crash Report Sampling System
(CRSS), which are essential to NHTSA's traffic safety activities as
well other Federal, State, and local agencies. Therefore, it is
critical that the recommended MMUCC data elements be designed with
clarity, purpose, and feasibility. NHTSA is revising the Model Minimum
Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) 5th Edition and requests comments on the
draft MMUCC Guideline, Sixth Edition available at Regulations.gov, to
inform appropriate improvements and identify stakeholder concerns. For
example, crash data collectors may wish to comment on the feasibility
of collecting data elements and attributes from the scene of a crash.
Crash database administrators, managers, and technicians may wish to
comment on the challenges and concerns with implementation and data

governance. Crash data users may wish to comment on the utility of the
draft MMUCC Guideline, Sixth Edition data elements as well as other
guidance and suggest additional changes. Feedback will be reviewed by
NHTSA and the Chartered MMUCC Committee to inform updates to the
forthcoming Sixth Edition of the MMUCC guideline, anticipated in 2024.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. On behalf of myself, I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks about a hundred different questions I might want to respond to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but my time to devote to researching and providing thoughtful comments on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. I know that the FDA took many years to even come up with the Proposed Rule, so I do not think it is at all unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about “e-cigarettes” as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they saved my husband’s life and the health of my 4 children and myself.  Please print my entire letter, since it is 13,850 characters over the limit to be listed here and keep it in mind when making your decisions. I hope the voices of my family will be reflected in your choice.

Sincerely, Sarah Sallin


April 29, 2010

Conference call with Donald Elliott and Brett Cohen, Willkie Farr &
Gallagher LLP

Margaret Sheppard and Yaidi Cancel, EPA/Stratospheric Protection
Division

Donald Elliott is representing Arkema.  He mentioned that Honeywell has
patents on HFO-1234yf.  Mr. Elliott stated that there are concerns about
the sufficiency of supply of HFO-1234yf.  He suggested that his client
may provide EPA information for the public record concerning the cost
and availability of HFO-1234yf.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 300

[EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0007; FRL-9912-80-Region 5]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of the Naval Industrial
Reserve Ordnance Plant (NIROP) Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent.

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

SUMMARY: EPA Region 5 is issuing a Notice of Intent to Delete Operable
Unit 2 (OU2) of the Naval Industrial Reserve Ordnance Plant (NIROP)
Superfund Site (Site), located in Fridley, Minnesota, from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed
action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA with the
concurrence of the State of Minnesota, through the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA), has determined that all appropriate response
actions under CERCLA at the OU, identified herein, other than
operation, maintenance, and five-year reviews, have been completed.
However, this partial deletion does not preclude future actions under
Superfund.
    EPA divided the NIROP Site into three portions, known as OUs, for
ease of addressing its contaminant issues. This partial deletion
pertains to the OU2 portion of NIROP, which includes all the
unsaturated soils within the legal boundaries of the NIROP Superfund
Site exclusive of unsaturated soils underlying the former Plating Shop
Area (see Site Map in the SEMS ID 446572 document listed in the
Deletion Docket for OU2). The following areas will remain on the NPL
and are not being considered for deletion as part of this action: OU1
and OU3. OU1 includes the contaminated groundwater within and
originating from the NIROP Superfund Site. OU3 includes all the
unsaturated soils underlying the former Plating Shop Area.

DATES: Comments must be received by July 30, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID no. EPA-HQ-
SFUND-1989-0007, by one of the following methods:

in the public docket without change and may be made available online at
http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or email. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of
your comment. If you send an email comment directly to EPA without
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your email address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sheila Desai, Remedial Project
Manager, Environmental Protection Agency (SR-6J), 77 West Jackson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
today's Federal Register, we are publishing a direct final Notice of
Partial Deletion for OU2 of the NIROP Superfund Site without prior
Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion because EPA views this as a
noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct
final Notice of Partial Deletion, and those reasons are incorporated
herein. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on this partial deletion
action, we will not take further action on this Notice of Intent for
Partial Deletion. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw
the direct final Notice of Partial Deletion, and it will not take
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final Notice of Partial Deletion based on this Notice of
Intent for Partial Deletion. We will not institute a second comment
period on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final Notice of Partial
Deletion which is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register.

    m. Scoping Process
    The Commission intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA)
on the project in accordance with the National Environmental Policy
Act. The EA will consider both site-specific and cumulative
environmental impacts and reasonable alternatives to the proposed
action.

Scoping Meetings

    FERC staff will conduct one agency scoping meeting and one public
meeting. The agency scoping meeting will focus on resource agency and
non-governmental organization concerns, while the public scoping
meeting is primarily for public input. All interested individuals,
organizations, and agencies are invited to attend one or both of the
meetings, and to assist the staff in identifying the scope of the
environmental issues that should be analyzed in the EA. The times and
locations of these meetings are as follows:

Daytime Scoping Meeting

    Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014.
    Time: 9:00 a.m. (MDT).
    Place: Red Lion Colonial Hotel.
    Address: 2301 Colonial Drive, Helena, Montana.

Evening Scoping Meeting

    Date: Wednesday, June 25, 2014.
    Time: 6:00 p.m. (MDT).
    Place: Martinsdale Community Center.
    Address: 110 Main Street, Martinsdale, Montana.
    Copies of the Scoping Document (SD1) outlining the subject areas to
be addressed in the EA were distributed to the parties on the
Commission's mailing list. Copies of the SD1 will be available at the
scoping meeting or may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov
using the ``eLibrary'' link (see item l above).

Environmental Site Review

    The Applicant and FERC staff will conduct a project Environmental
Site Review beginning at 2:00 p.m. (MDT) on Wednesday, June 25, 2014.
All interested individuals, organizations, and agencies are invited to
attend. All participants should meet at the Martinsdale Community
Center, 110 Main Street, Martinsdale, Montana. All participants are
responsible for their own transportation to the site. The Environmental
Site Review will include a trip up to the top of the butte where the
proposed upper reservoir would be located. This area also provides a
view of the drop down to the site of the proposed lower reservoir.
Anyone with questions about the Environmental Site Review should
contact Mr. Carl Borgquist of Absaroka Energy LLC at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Objectives

    At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Summarize the
environmental issues tentatively identified for analysis in the EA; (2)
solicit from the meeting participants all available information,
especially quantifiable data, on the resources at issue; (3) encourage
statements from experts and the public on issues that should be
analyzed in the EA, including viewpoints in opposition to, or in
support of, staff's preliminary views; (4) determine the resource
issues to be addressed in the EA; and (5) identify those issues that
require a detailed analysis, as well as those issues that do not
require a detailed analysis.

Procedures

    The meetings will be recorded by a stenographer and become part of
the formal record of the Commission proceeding on the project.
    Individuals, organizations, and agencies with environmental
expertise and concerns are encouraged to attend the meeting and to
assist the staff in defining and clarifying the issues to be addressed
in the EA.
