[Project No. 485-063--Georgia and Alabama]

Georgia Power Company; Bartletts Ferry Hydroelectric Project;
Notice of Revised Restricted Service List for a Programmatic Agreement

    Rule 2010 of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's
(Commission) Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18 CFR 385.2010, provides
that, to eliminate unnecessary expense or improve administrative
efficiency, the Secretary may establish a restricted service list for a
particular phase or issue in a proceeding. The restricted service list
should contain the names of persons on the service list who, in the
judgment of the decisional authority establishing the list, are active
participants with respect to the phase or issue in the proceeding for
which the list is established.
    The Commission staff is consulting with the Georgia State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO), the Alabama SHPO, and the Advisory Council
on Historic Preservation (Advisory Council) pursuant to the Advisory
Council's regulations, 36 CFR part 800, implementing section 106 of the
National Historic Preservation Act, as amended, (16 U.S.C. section
470f), to prepare a programmatic agreement for managing properties
included in, or eligible for inclusion in, the National Register of
Historic Places that could be affected by issuance of a new license for
the Bartletts Ferry Hydroelectric Project No. 485.
    The programmatic agreement, when executed by the Commission, the
Georgia SHPO, the Alabama SHPO, and the Advisory Council would satisfy
the Commission's section 106 responsibilities for all individual
undertakings carried out in accordance with the license until the
license expires or is terminated (36 CFR section 800.13(e)).
    On April 28, 2011, the Commission staff established a restricted
service list for the Bartletts Ferry Hydroelectric Project. On June 14,
2012, the Kialegee Tribal Town requested a revision to the restricted
service list. The revision is:
    ``Henry Harjo'' is replaced with ``Kelly Davis or Representative.''
    On June 14 and June 19, 2012, the Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town and
the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma,
respectively, requested to be added to the restricted service list. The
restricted service list is supplemented to include:
    ``Augustine Asbury or Representative, Alabama-Quassarte Tribal
Town, P.O. Box 187, Wetumka, OK 74883;''
    ``Lisa LaRue-Baker, Acting THPO, or Representative, United
Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma, P.O. Box 748,
Tahlequah, OK 74465.''

    Dated: June 25, 2012.

Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is promulgating a site-specific rule
that approves an alternative final cover for Phase 2 of the City of
Wolf Point landfill, a municipal solid waste landfill (MSWLF) owned and
operated by the City of Wolf Point, Montana, on the Assiniboine and
Sioux Tribes' Fort Peck Reservation in Montana, as a direct final rule.
The EPA did not make a proposal prior to the direct final rule because
we believe these actions are not controversial and do not expect
relevant adverse comments. We have explained the reasons for this
approval in the preamble to the direct final rule.
    Unless the EPA receives relevant adverse comments that oppose the
site-specific rule during the comment period, the direct final rule
will become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not take
further action on this proposal. If we get relevant adverse comments
that oppose the site-specific rule, we will withdraw the direct final
rule and it will not take immediate effect. We will then respond to
public comments in a later final rule based on this proposal. You may
not have another opportunity for comment. If you want to comment on
this action, you must do so at this time

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2023-0051]

Hours of Service of Drivers: John Olier; Application for
Exemption

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; denial of application for
exemption.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to deny the application from John
Olier requesting an exemption from certain hours of service (HOS)
regulations including the 11-, 14-, and 70-hour rules with all
``mandatory break'' periods which would include the 10-hour and 30-
minute break requirements. The applicant requests a

permanent exemption for himself and believes that his safe driving
record and experience demonstrate an equivalent level of safety. FMCSA
analyzed the application and public comments and determined that the
exemption would not likely achieve a level of safety that is equivalent
to, or greater than, the level that would be achieved absent such
exemption.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b) to grant
exemptions from certain Federal Motor Carrier Safety 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 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 safety analyses and public comments submitted
and determines whether granting the exemption would likely maintain a
level of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305(a)). The Agency must
publish its decision in the Federal Register (49 CFR 381.315(b)). If
granted, the notice will identify the regulatory provision from which
the applicant will be exempt, the effective period, and all terms and
conditions of the exemption (49 CFR 381.315(c)). If the exemption is
denied, the notice will explain the reasons for the denial (49 CFR
381.315(c)(2)). The exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).

III. Background

Current Regulatory Requirements

    To reduce the possibility of driver fatigue, FMCSA's HOS
regulations in 49 CFR part 395 limit the time drivers of commercial
motor vehicles (CMVs) may drive and require certain off-duty periods to
ensure that individuals stay awake and alert while driving. The HOS
regulations in 49 CFR 395.3(a)(1) prohibit an individual from
continuing to drive after 11 hours driving. Further, under 49 CFR
395.3(a)(2) drivers may not drive after having been on duty for a
period of 14 consecutive hours until they have been off duty for a
minimum of 10 consecutive hours, or the equivalent of at least 10
consecutive hours off duty. Section 395.3(a)(3)(ii) mandates that
drivers take a 30-minute break after driving for a period of 8
cumulative hours without at least a 30-minute interruption. The break
may be satisfied by any non-driving period of 30 consecutive minutes
(i.e., on-duty not driving, off duty, sleeper berth, or any combination
of these taken consecutively). Section 395.3(b)(1) prohibits drivers
for a motor carrier that does not operate CMVs every day of the week
from driving a CMV after being on duty for 60 hours during any 7
consecutive days, and section 395.3(b)(2) prohibits drivers for a motor
carrier that operates CMVs every day of the week from driving a CMV
after being on duty for 70 hours in any 8 consecutive days.

IV. Applicant's Request

    The applicant requests a permanent exemption from 49 CFR
395.3(a)(1), section 395.3(a)(2), section 395.3(a)(3), section
395.3(a)(3)(ii), and section 395.3(b)(2). The proposed exemption is
solely for the applicant. He states that the current regulatory
requirements which include limitations on driving time and on-duty time
and require certain rest periods, force him to drive outside of his
body's healthy circadian rhythm. The applicant asserts that the HOS
rules create unsafe driving conditions for him, other drivers, and the
public.

V. Method To Ensure an Equivalent or Greater Level of Safety

    The applicant states that he has never had an accident or incident
involving safety. He asserts that his prior military experience, which
trained him to work with little or no sleep periods enables him to
recognize the warning signs of fatigue and respond appropriately. He
implies that this training combined with his extensive driving
experience enable him to safely operate a CMV without complying with
the HOS regulations. He further asserts that operating under various
exemptions, such as the exemption for agricultural commodities, for
more than 75% of his driving time has resulted in less stress, fewer
disruptions to his schedule, improved health, and improved
productivity.

VI. Public Comments

    On March 3, 2023, FMCSA published Mr. Olier's application for
exemption and requested public comment (88 FR 13492). The Agency
received 113 comments. Although 13 comments focused more on eliminating
or relaxing the HOS rules than the exemption application, 83 comments
supported the exemption.
    For example, Richard Fuller wrote, ``As a former US Air Force
Member myself I think he does deserve the permanent exemption but i
also think anyone who meets the record with a career as a professional
driver with a clean slate such as myself since 1990 33 years clean and
still going deserves this opportunity to work freely in a messed up
world!'' Jeff Pack wrote, ``As another special operations veteran, we
have to be in sync with what our body is telling us. Please grant his
hos application.'' An anonymous individual said, ``You do for one you
better do all but yeah, I agree with him, your body, you should know
how your body operate.''
    Seventeen commenters opposed the exemption. An anonymous
individual, for example, wrote: ``Granting an individual person a
waiver opens up an area for everyone to seek deregulations of hours of
service. The rules are in place for a reason and should be enforced
uniformly.'' Maxwell McManus wrote, ``I implore FMCSA to consider that
Mr. [Olier] has failed to provide sufficient evidence that his
operations exempted from the hours of service rules are safer in nature
or provide a higher level of safety to himself, the general public, and
the trucking industry as a whole.''
    Joint comments were filed by the Truck Safety Coalition (TSC),
Citizens

for Reliable and Safe Highways, and Parents Against Tired Truckers. In
the joint comment TSC ``strongly requests this inadequately justified
exemption to HOS requirements be denied in full. Large truck crash
fatalities continue to increase at an alarming pace, and it is
incumbent on the Department of Transportation and FMCSA to take every
measure possible to reverse this trend and affirm life safety as its
top priority by denying the request in full.''

VII. FMCSA Safety Analysis and Decision

    FMCSA evaluated Mr. Olier's application and public comments. FMCSA
denies the exemption request. Mr. Olier failed to establish that he
would likely maintain a level of safety equivalent to, or greater than,
the level achieved without the exemption. The Agency established and
enforces the HOS regulations to keep fatigued drivers off the public
roadways and reduce the risk of crashes. Research studies demonstrate
that long work hours reduce sleep and harm driver health, and that
crash risk increases with work hours. The HOS regulations impose limits
on when and how long an individual may drive, to ensure that drivers
stay awake and alert, and to reduce the possibility of cumulative
fatigue. The Agency concurs with commenters that if it exempts one
individual from the HOS regulations, it could open the door for a huge
number of similar exemption requests. Such a result would be
inconsistent with a primary goal of the HOS regulations, which is to
prevent crashes arising out of fatigued driving.
    For the above reasons, John Olier's exemption application is
denied.

Minutes of the March 20, 2023 Conference Call with the American Iron and Steel Institute
NESHAP for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing

I.	Introduction
A conference call between the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) was held on March 20, 2023. The purpose of the meeting was to present the anticipated work practice and emissions standards for the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the integrated iron and steel (II&S) manufacturing industry. This memorandum summarizes the major topics discussed during the meeting.

III.	Discussion
For blast furnace casthouse fugitives, a 5 percent opacity limit based on 6-minute-averages is anticipated based on 2022 and 2011 opacity data. This limit was based on maximum averages for the best performing facilities. Opacity testing is anticipated to be required twice monthly during a cast. AISI expressed concern that this limit may not be achievable and that the limit was calculated based on limited data. EPA indicated that industry may send in additional data if the data used for a facility was not representative data.
For basic oxygen process furnace shop fugitives, a 5 percent opacity limit based on 6-minute averages is anticipated, as well as work practice standards. Opacity testing is anticipated to be required twice monthly during a furnace cycle. AISI expressed concerns that the anticipated work practice requirements may not be applicable to every facility.
For planned bleeder valves openings, an 8 percent opacity limit based on 6-minute averages is anticipated. This limit was calculated by averaging the opacity values for the top 5 performing facilities. AISI expressed concern that planned bleeder events vary in length and it may not be possible to get a reader for opacity testing. AISI also recommended opacity testing requirements for a representative sample instead of requiring opacity testing for every event.
For unplanned bleeder valves openings, several work practice requirements are anticipated, including installing stockline monitors at 3 different locations with an alarm, installing instruments to monitor the temperature and pressure, raw material screening, and submitting a slip avoidance plan. AISI noted that stockline monitors only show when a slip has already happened and are not helpful in reducing slips. AISI suggested that monitoring temperature and pressure should be adequate, and that slip avoidance plans could include stockline monitor data if a monitor is already installed in a furnace.
For beaching, full or partial enclosure or the use carbon dioxide to suppress fumes are anticipated requirements, as well as minimizing the height and slope of beaching.
For large bell leaks, visible emission tests are anticipated to be required, as well as opacity testing if visible emissions are positive. If opacity exceeds the 10 percent anticipated limit based on 3-minute averages, facilities are anticipated to be required to replace or repair the large bell seal within 4 months. For the small bell, facilities are anticipated to be required to repair or replace the seal every 8 weeks or at a frequency or throughput that has been proven to achieve zero opacity. AISI expressed concern that the throughput value that would denote a bell seal change would be too variable.
For slag handling and storage, the maximum achievable control technology (MACT) opacity limit would be 9 percent based on an average of the opacities of the top 5 performing facilities. The beyond-the-floor opacity limit would be 5 percent.
EPA presented the anticipated MACT emission limits for points sources. Emissions testing for point sources is anticipated to be required once every 5 years.
EPA is reconsidering the oil content limit for sinter plants and is now considering dioxin/furan and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon limits in place of an oil content limit. Emissions testing for these compounds would be required once every 5 years if limits are set in place.
