SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the National Airspace System (NAS) route
structure as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air
traffic within the NAS.

Background

    The Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC), with the
Cleveland and Detroit Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON)
facilities, is currently undertaking the Cleveland/Detroit (CLE/DTW)
Metroplex Project. This project is in support of the FAA's Next
Generation (NextGen) goal to safely improve the overall efficiency of
the NAS by increasing efficiencies in metropolitan areas with multiple
airports and complex air traffic flows. More specifically, these
proposed changes would enhance the way aircraft navigate the complex
airspace, improve airport access, and make flight routes more efficient
by optimizing the airspace and procedures based on satellite-based
navigation.
    At present, the enroute airway structure within the CLE/DTW
metroplex project area is conventionally based with the Federal airways
established using ground-based navigation aids, and most of the current
procedures rely on the existing Federal airways. The CLE/DTW metroplex
project is aimed at amending the current Federal airways to assist NAS
users by providing more efficient satellite-based navigation options
for routing and integrating 100 new area navigation (RNAV) procedures
that are being designed.
    Aircraft within the airspace area controlled by the Cleveland ARTCC
often file direct to their final airport destinations, or are vectored
direct to

waypoints or VOR navigation aids further along their intended route of
flight. Cleveland ARTCC and the Cleveland and Detroit TRACONs conducted
an analysis of the Federal airways usage in Cleveland ARTCC's airspace.
According to that analysis, 57 percent of the airways in Cleveland
ARTCC's airspace were never filed or used, and the remaining 43 percent
of the airways were filed or used less than 1 percent of the total
monthly operations flown in the CLE/DTW metroplex project area.
    While the FAA proposes to amend the current Federal airway
structure in support of the CLE/DTW metroplex project, the proposal
itself does not remove any existing VORs. Unless proposed in a separate
airspace action, the VORs within the CLE/DTW metroplex project area
would remain available for flight plan filing and navigation purposes.
Additionally, as part of the CLE/DTW metroplex project, the FAA plans
to amend the current fixes contained within the project area by
converting them into RNAV waypoints that would remain in place to
assist pilots and air traffic controllers already familiar with them,
for navigation purposes.
    Lastly, the FAA plans to continue NextGen modernization efforts of
the Cleveland and Detroit TRACON assigned airspace areas, at a later
date, by working with the TRACONs and establishing new RNAV T-routes
designed to enhance the flow of traffic through their busy terminal
airspace areas. The new RNAV T-routes would be proposed in a separate
airspace action after the RNAV procedures being developed for the CLE/
DTW metroplex project are published and available for use.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify VOR Federal airways V-2, V-5, V-
6, V-8, V-10, V-11, V-14, V-26, V-30, V-38, V-43, V-45, V-47, V-59, V-
75, V-84, V-92, V-96, V-103, V-116, V-126, V-133, V-170, V-188, V-210,
V-221, V-232, V-233, V-450, V-464, V-493, and V-542. Additionally, this
action proposes to remove VOR Federal airways V-40, V-98, V-176, V-297,
V-353, V-383, V-396, V-406, V-416, V-418, V-426, V-435, V-443, V-467,

    VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a) of FAA Order
7400.11A, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways
listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and

routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic
procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this proposed rule,
when promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID: FEMA-2022-0027; OMB No. 1660-NW153]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; State, Tribe, and Territory Disaster Case
Management Federal Award

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

ACTION: 30-Day notice of new collection and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will submit the
information collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and
Budget for review and clearance in accordance with the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This notice seeks comments
concerning information collected during the request by a State, Tribal,
or territorial (STT) government for a Disaster Case Management (DCM)
Federal award following a major disaster declaration.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before May 17, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of
this notice to www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain. Find this particular
information collection by selecting ``Currently under 30-day Review--
Open for Public Comments'' or by using the search function.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Requests for additional information or
copies of the information collection should be made to Director,
Information Management Division, 500 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,
email address [email protected] or
Rebekah Kennedy, Team Lead, Community Services Section, Individual
Assistance Division, at<PHONE_NUMBER> or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant to Executive Order 12148, as
amended by Executive Order 12673 and Executive Order 13286, the
President of the United States has delegated to the Department of
Homeland Security (DHS), including FEMA, the authority to provide case
management services as stated in the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief
and Emergency Assistance Act (Stafford Act), 42 U.S.C. 5189d. Under the
Stafford Act, FEMA may provide DCM services directly to survivors
through financial assistance to STT government agencies. DCM services
include identifying and addressing disaster-caused unmet needs of
survivors through identification of, and referrals to, available
resources. A disaster-caused unmet need is an un-resourced item,
support, or assistance that has been assessed and verified as necessary
for a survivor to recover from a disaster. This may include food,
clothing, shelter, first aid, emotional and spiritual care, household
items, home repair, or rebuilding.
    When an STT applies for, requests a modification of, or appeals a
FEMA determination for DCM Federal funding, the STT will utilize the
respective forms to illustrate the need, why it is beyond the STT
capacity to provide case management services itself, and how the STT
will provide services to all populations in need. Additionally, the STT
will be required to use the OMB-approved Standard Form 424 when
applying for Federal funding.
    To supplement their request, the STT will also submit a funding
request using the budget form. The information gathered within these
forms in the collection tool is used to determine the STT's need for
DCM Federal funding and how they anticipate providing services to
survivors.
    Once awarded, the STT will use the monthly reporting collection
tool to provide aggregate data on the services provided to survivors.
The information gathered within this form helps FEMA assess the success
of the program and ensure that all survivors in need of services are
able to receive them and that the case managers are assisting survivors
in finding resources that meet their disaster-caused unmet needs.
    This proposed information collection previously published in the
Federal Register on September 19, 2022, at 87 FR 57214 with a 60 day
public comment period. Two comments were received. FEMA received two
comments related to the STT DCM Federal Award and neither of the
comments were relevant to this collection. The purpose of this notice
is to notify the public that FEMA will submit the information
collection abstracted below to the Office of Management and Budget for
review and clearance.

Collection of Information

    Title: State, Tribe, and Territory Disaster Case Management Federal
Award.
    Type of Information Collection: New information collection.
    OMB Number: 1660-NW153.
    FEMA Forms: DCM Federal Award Application, FF-104-FY-22-204; DCM
Federal Award Modification Request, FF-104-FY-22-206; DCM Federal Award
Request for Appeal, FF-104-FY-22-207; DCM Federal Award Monthly
Reporting, FF-104-FY-22-208; and DCM Federal Award Budget Workbook, FF-
104-FY-22-209.
    Abstract: This collection tool will primarily be used as a guide to
support state, tribal, and territorial governments (STTs) when
applying, requesting a modification, or appealing a FEMA determination
for Disaster Case Management Federal funding to supplement and expand
their existing capacity. In extraordinary circumstances, the STT may
request that FEMA provide an opportunity for a local government agency
or qualified private organization to apply for the DCM Federal Award
directly. Once awarded, the STT will utilize the monthly reporting form
to report aggregate data about the performance of their program. All
information collected within these forms will be submitted to FEMA by
the STT.
    When applying for the STT DCM Federal award, the STT will respond
to the questions within the application form, developing an overall
assessment that details activities that have occurred since the start
of the disaster; what resources and capabilities are currently
available or anticipated to be available; and the estimated population
to be served. The STT will also outline the implementation of their
program by detailing their service delivery and work plans.
    If the STT is awarded a STT DCM Federal award, the STT may need to
modify their initial award. In doing so, the STT will utilize the
Request for Modification collection instrument to answer questions that
will assist them in justifying the need to request additional time or
funding to further support their program implementation.
    If the STT chooses to appeal a FEMA determination, the STT will
outline the purpose for their submission and provide new, justifying
information that was not included in their initial or modification
request by using the Request to Appeal collection instrument.
    For each of the three forms mentioned above, the STT may also need
to request initial or supplemental funding by using the Budget
Workbook. This collection instrument enables the STT to outline line
items that are necessary to implement the program, including personnel,
travel, supplies, and contractual items among others. The

STT can use this workbook to detail the request at all levels in
program implementation so that it can calculate the total amount of
funding needed.
    Once awarded, the STT will report aggregate data on all aspects of
program implementation, including staffing, caseloads, survivor/client
needs, and the types of referrals being made, as well as challenges
faced during the month and best practices/lessons learned. This
information assists FEMA in confirming the effectiveness of the
program, providing technical assistance to ensure all survivors are
able to receive DCM services, and to continuously evolve programmatic
implementation through the collection of best practices/lessons
learned.
    Affected Public: State, local and Tribal governments.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 55.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 209.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 577.
    Estimated Total Annual Respondent Cost: $43,962.
    Estimated Respondents' Operation and Maintenance Costs: $0.
    Estimated Respondents' Capital and Start-Up Costs: $0.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost to the Federal Government: $132,946.

Comments

    Comments may be submitted as indicated in the ADDRESSES caption
above. Comments are solicited to (a) evaluate whether the proposed data
collection is necessary for the proper performance of the agency,
including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b)
evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0775; Airspace Docket No. 13-ASW-19]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Comanche, TX

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E airspace at Comanche, TX.
Controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate Area Navigation (RNAV)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAP) at Comanche County-City
Airport. The FAA found that SIAPs were established for the airport in
2006, but the Class E airspace area to contain it was never
established, thereby prohibiting certain aircraft from using the
procedures. This

seriously impacts the safety and management of instrument flight rules
(IFR) operations at the airport. As a result, a Notice to Airmen
(NOTAM) has been issued suspending the use of the procedures until the
Class E airspace area is established.

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, November 14, 2013. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Scott Enander, Central Service Center,
Operations Support Group, Federal Aviation Administration, Southwest
Region, 2601 Meacham Blvd., Fort Worth, TX 76137; telephone 817-321-
7716.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    In 2006, the RNAV (GPS) RWY 17 standard instrument approach
procedure was established for Comanche County-City Airport, Comanche,
TX. The FAA discovered that the Class E transitional airspace area
required by 14 CFR 71.71(c) was not established to contain the
procedure. As a result, a NOTAM has been issued to designate the SIAP
as ``Not Authorized'' due to the lack of Class E airspace, prohibiting
aircraft from using the SIAP until the required airspace can be
established.
    Because of this, aircraft are unable to land in instrument
meteorological conditions, which adversely impacts the utility and the
safe and efficient use of the airport. Business aircraft based at
Comanche County-City Airport incur added costs when diverting to
alternate airports during poor weather conditions, and recreational and
tourist flights have to be cancelled, creating negative effects on the
local economy. This also restricts lifesaving aeromedical evacuation
aircraft, which are forced to add critical flight time to their
missions to land at alternate airports during periods of low ceilings
and visibility as the nearest alternate airport with instrument
approach capability is 20 miles away.
    It is in the public interest to restore IFR operations at Comanche
County-City Airport as soon as possible to enhance the safe and
efficient use of airspace at the airport and ensure that any critical
medical evacuation operations are not delayed. Therefore, I find that
notice and public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) is impracticable and
contrary to the public interest.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within an 8.7-mile radius of Comanche County-City
Airport, Comanche, TX to contain aircraft executing standard instrument
approach procedures at the airport. Controlled airspace enhances the
safety and management of IFR operations at the airport.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (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.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106, describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it establishes controlled airspace at Comanche County-City Airport,
Comanche, TX.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP20-486-000]

Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company; Notice of Intent To Prepare
An Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Tuscarora Xpress Project
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Tuscarora Xpress Project
(Project) involving construction and operation of facilities by
Tuscarora Gas Transmission Company (Tuscarora) in Washoe County,
Nevada. The Commission will use this EA in its decision-making process
to determine whether the project is in the public convenience and
necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies about issues regarding the project. The National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) requires the Commission to take into account the
environmental impacts that could result from its action whenever it
considers the issuance of a Certificate of Public Convenience and
Necessity. NEPA also requires the Commission to discover concerns the
public may have about proposals. This process is referred to as
``scoping.'' The main goal of the scoping process is to focus the
analysis in the EA on the important environmental issues. By this
notice, the Commission requests public comments on the scope of issues
to address in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please submit your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before 5:00pm Eastern Time on
September 3, 2020. Comments may be submitted in written form. Further
details on how to submit comments are provided in the Public
Participation section of this notice.
    You can make a difference by submitting your specific comments or
concerns about the project. Your comments should focus on the potential
environmental effects, reasonable alternatives, and measures to avoid
or lessen environmental impacts. Your input will help the Commission
staff determine what issues they need to evaluate in the EA. Commission
staff will consider all written comments during the preparation of the
EA.

    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on June 24, 2020, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. CP20-486-000 to ensure they are considered as
part of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this proposed
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the proposed facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable easement agreement. You
are not required to enter into an agreement. However, if the Commission
approves the project, the Natural Gas Act conveys the right of eminent
domain to the company. Therefore, if you and the company do not reach
an easement agreement, the pipeline company could initiate condemnation
proceedings in court. In such instances, compensation would be
determined by a judge in accordance with state law.
    Tuscarora provided landowners with a fact sheet prepared by the
FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural Gas Facility On My Land? What Do
I Need To Know?'' This fact sheet addresses a number of typically asked
questions, including the use of eminent domain and how to participate
in the Commission's proceedings. This fact sheet along with other
landowner topics of interest are available for viewing on the FERC
website (www.ferc.gov) under the Natural Gas Questions or Landowner
Topics link.

Summary of the Proposed Project

    Tuscarora proposes to upgrade and replace an existing reciprocating
compressor unit (and building) and construct a new skid-mounted
compressor unit at the same location within the existing Wadsworth
Compressor Station in Washoe County, Nevada. Additionally, Tuscarora
would upgrade an existing meter, replace the existing meter bypass line
with a new meter piping run, and install a second new meter within the
existing compressor station site. According to Tuscarora, the Tuscarora
Xpress Project would provide 15,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of
incremental firm transportation capacity on Tuscarora's interstate
natural gas pipeline system from its interconnection with Gas
Transmission Northwest LLC in Malin, Oregon to its Wadsworth Compressor
Station in northern Nevada to meet the growing market demand for
natural gas in this area.
    The Tuscarora Xpress Project would consist of the following
activities:
     Demolition and replacement of one compressor facility and
foundation;
     upgrade and replacement of a reciprocating compressor unit
and foundation;
     replacement of metering facilities; and
     installation of station piping.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix

SFWMD detections of diuron, 1998   2001 Diuron detections in south Florida surface water The South Florida Water Management District ( SFWMD) has available on its website1, reports of pesticide monitoring between December 1998 to August 2001. The SFWMD monitored several locations ( see attached map) approximately once every three months for three years. Out of the twelve months in which sampling occurred, diuron was observed in six. Locations of the diuron detections have been highlighted in red on the map2. Over the three year period there were 17 detections of diuron out of 438 samples. Five of the detections showed concentrations above the limit of quantitation, with the highest value3 reported at 1.2 F g/ L. Detection and quantitation limits changed over the course of the studies. Samples taken in 1998 and 1999 had detection limits of 0.4 F g/ L and a quantitation limit of 0.8 F g/ L; samples taken in 2000 and 2001 had limits at half these values.

The approximate locations of the SFWMD samples are shown on the modified SFWMD map ( Figure 1). The hydrology of south Florida is complex because of the large number of man made canals, and it is thus difficult to determine whether locations are downstream of each other, or of agricultural areas. For example, site CR33.5T on the map, may not be downstream of the large citrus area just to its east.

Because monitoring was carried out only four times per year, there is a high likelihood of missing peak concentrations. The data cannot, therefore, be used to estimate the peak concentration of diuron in Florida waters, and probably gives only a rough estimate of average concentrations in the region. Figure 1.
