Airplanes); and Model A310 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede an existing airworthiness
directive (AD) that applies to all of the airplanes identified above.
The existing AD currently requires revising the FAA-approved
maintenance program to include a new airplane maintenance manual task
that specifies a detailed inspection after each ram air turbine (RAT)
retraction. That existing AD also currently requires, for certain
airplanes, a one-time inspection to detect breaks in the bottom flange
fitting of the RAT and corrective actions, if necessary; for certain
airplanes, an adjustment of the ejection jack; and, for certain other
airplanes, replacement of the aluminum part with an improved steel
part. This proposed AD also would continue to require certain actions
for additional airplanes and would revise the FAA-approved maintenance
program to include procedures for replacing the RAT swivel coupling
fork fitting with a new steel part only. This proposed AD results from
a report that an additional swivel coupling of the RAT yoke fitting was
found cracked while accomplishing the requirements of the existing AD.
We are proposing this AD to prevent misrigging of the ejection jack of
the RAT and to ensure removal of any RAT yoke fitting made from
aluminum material. Such conditions could result in a broken or cracked
swivel coupling and consequent failure of the RAT yoke fitting, which
could result in the loss of RAT function and possible loss of critical
flight control systems in the event of certain emergency situations.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 10,
2008.

Discussion

    On January 24, 2007, we issued AD 2007-03-09, amendment 39-14920
(72 FR 5157, February 5, 2007), for all Airbus Model A300 airplanes;
Model A300 B4-601, B4-603, B4-620, B4-622, B4-605R, B4-622R, F4-605R,
F4-622R, and C4-605R variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600
series airplanes); and Model A310 airplanes. That AD requires revising
the FAA-approved maintenance program to include a new airplane
maintenance manual task that specifies a detailed inspection after each
ram air turbine (RAT) retraction. That AD also requires, for certain
airplanes, a one-time inspection to detect breaks in the bottom flange
fitting of the RAT and corrective actions, if necessary; for certain
airplanes, an adjustment of the ejection jack; and, for certain other
airplanes, replacement of the aluminum part with an improved steel
part. That AD resulted from a report indicating that the swivel
coupling of the RAT yoke fitting was found broken (due to a static
overload as a result of the ejection jack of the RAT being misrigged).
We issued that AD to prevent failure of the RAT yoke fitting, which
could result in the loss of RAT function and possible loss of critical
flight control systems in the event of certain emergency situations.

Actions Since Existing AD Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2007-03-09, European Aviation Safety Agency
(EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Community, informed us that an additional swivel coupling of
the RAT yoke fitting was found cracked while accomplishing the
requirements of that AD. Investigation revealed that the crack was
initiated by a stress-corrosion phenomenon on the aluminum material.
    Misrigging of the ejection jack of the RAT or a RAT yoke fitting
that is made from aluminum material, if not corrected, could result in
a broken or cracked swivel coupling and consequent failure of the RAT
yoke fitting. This condition could result in the loss of RAT function
and possible loss of critical flight control systems in the event of
certain emergency situations.
    EASA has also informed us that certain Model A310 and A300-600
series airplanes equipped with Hamilton Sundstrand RATs have a RAT yoke
fitting made from aluminum material. Therefore, those airplanes are now
subject to the same replacement requirements of AD 2007-03-09 as those
airplanes equipped with Dowty Rotol RATs.

Relevant Service Information

    Airbus has issued Service Bulletin A310-57-2086, Revision 01, dated
September 3, 2007 (for Model A310 series airplanes); and Service
Bulletin A300-57-6099, Revision 01, dated September 3, 2007 (for Model
A300-600 series airplanes). (AD 2007-03-09 refers to Airbus Service
Bulletins A310-57-2086, dated March 1, 2005, and A300-57-6099, dated
February 23, 2005; as applicable; as appropriate sources of service
information for accomplishing the required replacement.) The
replacement procedures specified in Revision 01 of the service
bulletins are identical to that in the original issues of the service
bulletins. No additional work is recommended for airplanes modified by
the original issues of the service bulletins.
    Accomplishing the actions specified in the service information is
intended to adequately address the unsafe condition. EASA mandated the
service information and issued airworthiness directive 2007-0273, dated
October 23, 2007, to ensure the continued airworthiness of these
airplanes in the European Union.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of the Proposed AD

    These airplanes are manufactured in France and are type
certificated for operation in the United States under the provisions of
section 21.29 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 21.29) and
the applicable bilateral airworthiness agreement. As described in FAA
Order 8100.14A, ``Interim Procedures for Working with the European
Community on Airworthiness Certification and Continued Airworthiness,''
dated August 12, 2005, EASA has kept the FAA informed of the situation
described above. We have examined EASA's findings, evaluated all
pertinent information, and determined that AD action is necessary for
airplanes of this type design that are certificated for operation in
the United States.
    This proposed AD would supersede AD 2007-03-09. This proposed AD
would continue to require replacing the aluminum yoke fitting of the
swivel coupling of the RAT with a new steel yoke fitting and revising
the FAA-approved maintenance program to include a new airplane
maintenance manual task that specifies a detailed inspection after each
RAT retraction. This proposed AD also would require those actions for
additional airplanes and would revise the FAA-approved maintenance
program to include procedures for replacing the RAT swivel coupling
fork fitting with a new steel part only (the existing procedures allow
replacement with either an aluminum or steel part).

Difference Between This AD and EASA Airworthiness Directive

    EASA airworthiness directive 2007-0273 applies to the following
U.S.-registered airplanes: Airbus Model A310 and A300-600 series
airplanes, except for airplanes on which Airbus Modification 12986 or
19578 has been done in production or on which Airbus Service Bulletin
A310-57-2086 or A300-57-6099 has been done. This proposed AD, as did AD
2007-03-09, would affect all Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series
airplanes. AD 2007-03-09 combined two French airworthiness directives
(i.e., F-2005-089, dated June 8, 2005, and F-2005-090 R1, dated July 6,
2005), which affect additional airplanes not identified in EASA
airworthiness directive 2007-0273.
    Unlike EASA airworthiness directive 2007-0273, this proposed AD
would require revising the FAA-approved maintenance program to specify
an inspection for breaks of the bottom flange of the RAT swivel
coupling yoke fitting after each RAT retraction; and replacement of the
RAT swivel coupling yoke fitting with a new steel part. This action is
necessary to ensure that only steel yoke fittings are installed.

Change to Existing AD

    This proposed AD would retain certain requirements of AD 2007-03-
09. Since AD 2007-03-09 was issued, the AD format has been revised, and
certain paragraphs have been rearranged. As a result, the corresponding
paragraph identifiers have changed in this proposed AD, as listed in
the following table:

                      Revised Paragraph Identifiers

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

    In consideration of the compliance time and effective date for
accomplishing the replacement and revision of the FAA-approved
maintenance program required by AD 2007-03-09 (retained in paragraphs
(f) and (g) of this proposed AD), we assume that operators of the
affected airplanes have already initiated the required actions. The
proposed AD would add no new costs associated with those airplanes.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    We have 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 that the 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); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the
ADDRESSES section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    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]

    2. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) amends Sec.  39.13 by
removing amendment 39-14920 (72 FR 5157, February 5, 2007) and adding
the following new airworthiness directive (AD):

Airbus: Docket No. FAA-2008-1082; Directorate Identifier 2007-NM-
337-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) The FAA must receive comments on this AD action by November
10, 2008.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-03-09.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Model A300 airplanes; Model A300 B4-
601, B4-603, B4-620, B4-622, B4-605R, B4-622R, F4-605R, F4-622R, and
C4-605R Variant F airplanes; and Model A310 airplanes, certificated
in any category.

Unsafe Condition

    (d) This AD results from a report that an additional swivel
coupling of the RAT yoke fitting was found cracked while
accomplishing the requirements of the existing AD. We are issuing
this AD to prevent misrigging of the ejection jack of the ram air
turbine (RAT) and to ensure removal of any RAT yoke fitting made
from aluminum material. Such conditions could result in a broken or
cracked swivel coupling and consequent failure of the RAT yoke
fitting, which could result in the loss of RAT function and possible
loss of critical flight control systems in the event of certain
emergency situations.

Compliance

    (e) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Certain Requirements of AD 2007-03-09:

Replacement

    (f) For Model A300 airplanes, Model A300-600 series airplanes,
and Model A310 airplanes equipped with Dowty Rotol RATs, except
airplanes on which Airbus Modification 12986 has been done: Within
12 months after March 12, 2007 (the effective date of AD 2007-03-
09), replace the RAT swivel coupling fork fitting with a new steel
fitting, in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of
Airbus Service Bulletin A300-57-0244, dated March 4, 2005 (for Model
A300 airplanes); A300-57-6099, dated February 23, 2005 (for Model
A300-600 series airplanes); or A310-57-2086, dated March 1, 2005
(for Model A310 airplanes); as applicable; except as provided by
paragraph (h) of this AD.

Revisions of FAA-Approved Maintenance Program

    (g) For all airplanes: Within 3 months after March 12, 2007,
incorporate the information in the applicable aircraft maintenance
manual (AMM) specified in paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of
this AD, into the FAA-approved maintenance program to specify an
inspection for breaks of the bottom flange of the RAT swivel
coupling yoke fitting after each RAT retraction; and replacement of
the RAT swivel coupling yoke fitting with a new aluminum or steel
part as applicable; in accordance with a method approved by the
Manager, International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane
Directorate, FAA; or the Direction G[eacute]n[eacute]rale de
l'Aviation Civile (or its delegated agent); or European Aviation
Safety Agency (or its delegated agent). The page blocks specified in
paragraphs (g)(1), (g)(2), and (g)(3) of this AD, as applicable, are
one approved method for the actions required by paragraph (g) of
this AD. Thereafter, except as provided by paragraph (l) of this AD,
no alternative inspection intervals may be approved for the bottom
flange of the RAT swivel coupling yoke fitting.

    (3) Airbus A300 AMM Chapter 29-25-00, Page Block 301, dated
March 1, 2006.

    Note 1: After revising the maintenance program to include the
required periodic inspections according to paragraph (g) or (k) of
this AD, operators do not need to make a maintenance log entry to
show compliance with this AD every time those inspections are
accomplished thereafter.

    Note 2: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (l) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued damage tolerance of the affected structure. The FAA
has provided guidance for this determination in Advisory Circular
(AC) 25-1529-1.

New Requirements of This AD

Revised Service Bulletins

    (h) As of the effective date of this AD, use only the
Accomplishment Instructions of Airbus Service Bulletin A310-57-2086,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    This document is directed to the public in general. However, you
may be potentially affected by this action if you perform renovations,
repairs, or painting activities on the exterior or interior of public
buildings or commercial buildings. The following list of North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be
exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine

B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments,
remember to:
    i. Identify this document by docket ID number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    ii. Follow directions. Follow the detailed instructions as provided
under ADDRESSES. Respond to specific questions posed by the Agency.
    iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives.
    iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
    v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced by the Agency and others.
    vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified in this document.

II. Background

    Title IV of TSCA, 15 U.S.C. 2681 et seq., was enacted to assist the
Federal Government in reducing lead exposures, particularly those
resulting from lead-based paint. Section 402(c)(3) of TSCA specifically
requires EPA to revise its Lead-based Paint Activities Regulations
(Ref. 1), promulgated under TSCA section 402(a), to apply to those
renovation and remodeling activities in target housing, public
buildings constructed before 1978, or commercial buildings that create
lead-based paint hazards. In April 2008, EPA issued the final Lead
Renovation, Repair, and Painting (RRP) Rule under TSCA section
402(c)(3) (Ref. 2). The RRP Rule covers renovation, repair, and
painting activities in target housing, which is most pre-1978 housing,
and child-occupied facilities, defined in the rule as a subset of
public and commercial buildings in which young children spend a
significant amount of time.
    Shortly after the RRP Rule was published, several lawsuits were
filed challenging the rule, asserting, among other things, that EPA
violated TSCA section 402(c)(3) by failing to address renovation
activities in public and commercial buildings. These lawsuits (brought
by environmental and children's health advocacy groups as well as a
homebuilders association) were consolidated in the Circuit Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. EPA engaged in collective
settlement negotiations with all the parties and on August 24, 2009,
EPA entered into an agreement with environmental and children's health
advocacy groups in settlement of their lawsuits (Ref. 3). Shortly
thereafter, the homebuilders association voluntarily dismissed its
challenge to the rule. As part of this settlement agreement, EPA agreed
to commence rulemaking to address renovations in public and commercial
buildings, other than child-occupied facilities, to the extent such
renovations create lead-based paint hazards. As an initial step, EPA
issued an ANPRM in the Federal Register on renovations in public and
commercial buildings on May 6, 2010 (Ref. 4).
    The settlement agreement has been amended and modified several
times primarily to extend deadlines, with the most recent amendment
having been entered into by the parties on September 7, 2012. Under the
terms of the amended settlement agreement, the date by which EPA has
agreed to either sign a proposed rule covering renovation, repair, and
painting activities in public and commercial buildings, or determine
that these activities do not create lead-based paint hazards, is July
1, 2015. If EPA publishes a proposed rule in the Federal Register, EPA
agrees to take final action on or before the date 18 months after the
proposed rule has published.
    In addition, EPA agreed to hold a public meeting on or before July
31, 2013, and offer an opportunity for stakeholders and other
interested members of the public to provide data and other information
that EPA may use in making its regulatory determinations. With this
document, EPA is providing advance notice that it plans to hold the
public meeting on June 26, 2013, and will provide more information
about the public meeting in a subsequent document it intends to publish
in the Federal Register in the spring of 2013.
    EPA also agreed to offer an opportunity for stakeholders and other
interested members of the public to provide data and other information
that EPA may use in making its regulatory determinations. This
document, therefore, opens a comment period to allow the public to
submit additional information and data pertaining to renovation,
repair, and painting activities in and on public or commercial
buildings. EPA plans to issue a discussion guide no later than 2 weeks
before the public meeting. EPA expects the discussion guide to describe
the information received during this comment period. Of particular
interest to EPA for developing a proposed rule is information
concerning:
    1. The manufacture, sale, and uses of lead-based paint after 1978.
    2. The use of lead-based paint in and on public and commercial
buildings.
    3. The frequency and extent of renovations on public and commercial
buildings.
    4. Work practices used in renovation of public and commercial
buildings.
    5. Dust generation and transportation from exterior and interior
renovations of public and commercial buildings.
    These topical descriptions offer only a short characterization of
the information that EPA is interested in. The 2010 ANPRM contains a
comprehensive history of this rulemaking and the lead program in
general, a review of some of the relevant information EPA has already
gathered and reviewed, and more detail on the information sought for
the public meeting (Ref. 4).
    EPA is seeking information from all sources and regarding all types
of potentially affected businesses and other stakeholders, including
small businesses. Information regarding work practices typically used
by small businesses, as well as information on costs and other
potential regulatory impacts on small businesses, particularly those
that would uniquely affect small businesses, would be useful to EPA in
developing any proposed rule for renovation, repair, and painting
activities in and on public or commercial buildings.

failures that resulted in release of flammable electrolytes, heat
damage, and smoke. We are issuing this AD to correct damage to critical
systems and structures, and the potential for fire in the electrical
compartment.

DATES: This AD is effective February 22, 2013 to all persons except
those persons to whom it was made immediately effective by Emergency AD
2013-02-51, issued on January 16, 2013, which contained the
requirements of this amendment.
    We must receive comments on this AD by April 8, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    On January 16, 2013, we issued Emergency AD 2013-02-51, which
requires modification of the battery system, or other actions. This
emergency AD was sent previously to all known U.S. owners and operators
of these airplanes. This action was prompted by recent incidents
involving lithium ion battery failures that resulted in release of
flammable electrolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two Model 787-8
airplanes. The cause of these failures is currently under
investigation. These conditions, if not corrected, could result in
damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for fire
in the electrical compartment.

FAA's Determination

    We are issuing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires modification of the battery system, or other
actions, in accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Seattle
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD interim action. As the investigation
progresses, we might determine that additional action is necessary.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
recent incidents involving lithium ion battery failures that resulted
in release of flammable electrolytes, heat damage, and smoke on two
Model 787-8 airplanes. These conditions, if not corrected, could result
in damage to critical systems and structures, and the potential for
fire in the electrical compartment. Therefore, we find that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety and was not preceded by notice and an opportunity for public
comment. However, we invite you to send any written data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include the docket number FAA-2013-0091; and
Directorate Identifier 2013-NM-016-AD at the beginning of your
comments. We specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 6 airplanes of U.S. registry.
    Currently, we have received no definitive data that would enable us
to provide cost estimates for the actions required by this AD. As
indicated earlier in this preamble, we specifically invite the
submission of comments and other data regarding the costs of this AD.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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),
    (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.

[Docket No. NHTSA-2014-0001; Notice 2]

Cooper Tire & Rubber Company, Grant of Petition for Decision of
Inconsequential Noncompliance

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

ACTION: Grant of Petition.

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

SUMMARY: Cooper Tire & Rubber Company (Cooper), has determined that
certain Cooper light truck tires do not fully comply with paragraph
S6.4 of Federal Motor Tire Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 119, New
Pneumatic Tires for Motor Vehicles with a GVWR of more than 4,536
kilograms (10,000 pounds) and Motorcycles. Cooper has filed an
appropriate report dated December 6, 2013 pursuant to 49 CFR part 573,
Defect and Noncompliance Responsibility and Reports.

ADDRESSES: For further information on this decision contact Abraham
Diaz, Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance, the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA), telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, facsimile
(202) 366-7002.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    I. Cooper's Petition: Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and 30120(h)
and the rule implementing those provisions at 49 CFR part 556, Cooper
has petitioned for an exemption from the notification and remedy
requirements of 49 U.S.C. Chapter 301 on the basis that this
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
    Notice of receipt of the petition was published, with a 30-day
public comment period, on May 22, 2014 in the Federal Register (79 FR
29502). No comments were received. To view the petition, and all
supporting documents log onto the Federal Docket Management System
(FDMS) Web site at: http://www.regulations.gov/. Then follow the online
search instructions to locate docket number ``NHTSA-2014-0001.''
    II. Tires Involved: Affected are approximately 83,343 Mickey
Thompson Baja MTZ brand LT315/70R17 Load Range D Tubeless tires
manufactured from January 28, 2006 through October 31, 2013.
    III. Noncompliance: Cooper explains that the noncompliance is that,
due to a molding error, the subject tires were manufactured with only
five of the six treadwear indicators required by paragraph S6.4 of
FMVSS No. 119.
    IV. Rule Text: Paragraph S6.4 of FMVSS No. 119 requires in
pertinent part:

    S6.4 Treadwear Indicators. Except as specified in this
paragraph, each tire shall have at least six treadwear indicators
spaced approximately equally around the circumference of the tire
that enable a person inspecting the tire to determine visually
whether the tire has worn to a tread depth of 1.6 mm (one-sixteenth
of an inch). . . .

    V. Summary of Cooper's Analyses: Cooper believes that the subject
noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety because the
absence of a single treadwear indicator has no practical effect on
motor vehicle safety. Cooper supported this belief by stating that the
presence of five of the six treadwear indicators provides ample
coverage over the surface of the tire because consumers or technicians
who attempt to inspect tread depth by relying on the treadwear
indicators can easily see several of the indicators. In fact, when the
vehicle is parked, only a small portion of the tread surface is not
visible.
    Therefore, Cooper believes that five treadwear indicators have an
equivalent functionality of six indicators whether the tire is mounted
on a vehicle or not.
    Cooper also points out that NHTSA has previously granted other
petitions that Cooper believes were similar to the subject petition.
    Cooper has informed NHTSA that it has corrected the noncompliance
so that all future production of these tires will comply with FMVSS No.
119.
    In summation, Cooper believes that the described noncompliance of
the subject tires is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety, and that
its petition, to exempt Cooper from providing recall notification of
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30118 and remedying the recall
noncompliance as required by 49 U.S.C. 30120 should be granted.
    NHTSA Decision:
    NHTSA Analysis: The purpose for tire treadwear indicators is to
serve as a means for a person to visually inspect a tire's tread depth
and readily determine if a tire has worn to the extent that tread depth
is 1.6 mm (one-sixteenth of an inch) or less.
    Cooper stated that while the subject tires were molded with only
five treadwear indicators that it believes that those indicators still
provide ample coverage over the surface of the tire.
    NHTSA agrees with Cooper that in this case the subject
noncompliance will have no significant effect on the safety of the
vehicles on which the subject tires are mounted. The subject tires have
five indicators; 4 indicators spaced at 60 degrees and one indicator
spaced at 120 degrees. NHTSA believes that in this case the absence of
a single indicator does not significantly affect a person's ability to
visually inspect a tire and readily recognize when a significant
portion of the tire's tread is warn to the point that a tire should be
replaced.
    NHTSA Decision: In consideration of the foregoing, NHTSA has
decided that Cooper has met its burden of persuasion that the Cooper
FMVSS No. 119 noncompliance is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Accordingly, Cooper's petition is hereby granted and Cooper is exempted
from the obligation of providing notification of, and a remedy for,
that noncompliance under 49 U.S.C. 30118 and 30120.
    NHTSA notes that the statutory provisions (49 U.S.C. 30118(d) and
30120(h)) that permit manufacturers to file petitions for a
determination of inconsequentiality allow NHTSA to exempt manufacturers
only from the duties found in sections 30118 and 30120, respectively,
to notify owners, purchasers, and dealers of a defect or noncompliance
and to remedy the defect or noncompliance. Therefore, this decision
only applies to the subject noncompliant tires that Cooper no longer
controlled at the time it determined that the noncompliance existed.
However, the granting of this petition does not relieve vehicle
distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on the sale, offer for
sale, or introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate
commerce of the noncompliant tires under their control after Cooper
notified them that the subject noncompliance existed.

    Authority: (49 U.S.C. 30118, 30120: delegations of authority at
49 CFR 1.95 and 501.8)

    Title: NESHAP for Friction Materials Manufacturing (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2025.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0481.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on November 30, 2011.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Friction Materials Manufacturing were proposed
on October 4, 2001 (66 FR 50768), and promulgated on October 18, 2002
(67 FR 64498).
    These standards apply to any new, reconstructed, or existing
solvent mixers located at any friction materials manufacturing facility
engaged in the manufacture of friction materials such as brake and
clutch linings. A friction materials manufacturing facility is a major
source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) if it emits or has the
potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons)
or more per year, or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68
megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.
    Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon the
construction or reconstruction of any friction materials manufacturing
facility. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the
emission limitation has exceeded (or reports certifying that no
exceedances have occurred) also are required. Affected entities must
retain reports and records for a total of five years: two years at the
site, and the remaining three years at an off-site location.
    Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority
when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority
may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control
devices are properly installed and that the operating standard is being
met. The information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements described in this ICR are used by the Agency to
ensure that facilities that are affected by the standard continue to
operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with
the regulation.
    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 162
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Friction materials manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Response: Annually, semiannually, initially, and
occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,296.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $123,461, which includes $122,373 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,088 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative,
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. There is, however, an increase in the estimated burden cost as
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden cost
is due to the use of the most updated labor rates.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9963-99-Region 6]

Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program; Petitions for Objection
to State Operating Permit for Bunge North America, Inc. Destrehan Grain
Elevator, Destrehan, St. Charles Parish, Louisiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final action.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA Administrator
signed an Order, dated June 7, 2017, denying a petition asking EPA to
object to the operating permit issued by the Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ) to Bunge North America, Inc. (Bunge) for
its Destrehan Grain Elevator. Title V operating permit number 2520-
00048-V5 was issued on December 18, 2015 by the LDEQ to Bunge for
modifications to the Destrehan Grain Elevator located in St. Charles
Parish, Louisiana. EPA's June 7, 2017 Order responds to a petition
submitted on January 24, 2016 by the Tulane Environmental Law Clinic on
behalf of Petitioners Ms. Cynthia Portera and Ms. Toni Offerman.
Sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the Act provide that a petitioner may
ask for judicial review of those portions of the Orders that deny
objections raised in the petitions in the appropriate United States
Court of Appeals. Any petition for review shall be filed within 60 days
from the date this notice appears in the Federal Register, pursuant to
section 307(b) of the Act.

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of the final Order, the petition, and
other supporting information at EPA Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas,
Texas 75202-2733.
    EPA requests that if at all possible, you contact the individual
listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to view copies of
the final Order, petition, and other supporting information. You may
view the hard copies Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00
p.m., excluding Federal holidays. If you wish to examine these
documents, you should make an appointment at least 24 hours before the
visiting day. Additionally, the final June 7, 2017 Order is available
electronically at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2017-06/documents/bunge_response2016.pdf.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brad Toups at<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or the above EPA, Region 6 address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to
review, and object, as appropriate, to a title V operating permit
proposed by a state permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA
and 40 CFR 70.8(d) authorizes any person to petition the EPA
Administrator, within 60 days after the expiration of this review
period, to object to a title V operating permit if EPA has not done so.
Petitions must be based only on objections to the permit that were
raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period
provided by the state, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was
impracticable to raise these issues during the comment period or unless
the grounds for the issue arose after this period.
    EPA received the petition from the Petitioners on January 24, 2016
for the operating permit issued on December 18, 2015 to Bunge North
America, Inc. Destrehan Grain Elevator, Destrehan, St. Charles Parish,
Louisiana.
    The Petitioner requests that the Administrator object to the
proposed operating permit issued by the LDEQ to Bunge based on two
claims. The claims are described in detail in Section IV of the Order.
In summary, the issues raised are that: (1) The permit fails to comply
with the Act's requirements for inclusion of a compliance plan and
schedule in an issued permit; and, (2) the permit should have addressed
the state `Environmental Assessment' as mandated under Louisiana
Revised Statute R.S. 30:2018(C) for any source undergoing a
`substantial modification.' The Order issued on June 7, 2017 responds
to the Petition and explains the basis for EPA's decision.

    Dated: June 29, 2017.
Samuel Coleman,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 6.
