Amendment of Restricted Areas R-3704A and R-3704B; Fort Knox, KY

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

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

SUMMARY: This action makes several editorial corrections to the
descriptions of restricted areas R-3704A and R-3704B, Fort Knox, KY.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, April 5, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    A review of the descriptions of restricted areas R-3704A and R-
3704B at Fort Knox, KY identified the need for several editorial
corrections. The description for R-3704A requires the following
corrections. In the ``designated altitudes,'' the existing words ``and
including'' are unnecessary. As stated in 14 CFR 73.3, the word ``to''
(an altitude or flight level) means ``to and including'' (that altitude
or flight level); therefore, the wording of R-3704A is being amended to
read ``Surface to 10,000 feet MSL.'' In addition, the current time of
designation for R-3704A states ``EST'' (for eastern standard time).
This is incorrect since the restricted area is used year-round during
both standard and daylight time periods. Because the State of Kentucky
lies within both the eastern and central time zones, it is appropriate
that the time of designation signify which time zone is being used for
activation of the restricted area. Therefore, the R-3704A time of
designation is being amended by

removing ``EST'' and replacing it with the words ``eastern time.''
Lastly, the name of the R-3704A using agency is amended to reflect the
correct U.S. Army organization responsible for the airspace.
    The description of R-3704B also requires several editorial
corrections. The controlling agency for both R-3704A and R-3708B is
currently listed as ``FAA, Standiford Control Tower, Louisville, KY.''
The altitude dividing line between the two areas is 10,000 feet mean
sea level (MSL). Due to Air Traffic Control facility airspace
delegations, the airspace above 10,000 feet MSL in that area is
assigned to the Indianapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC).
Therefore, the controlling agency for R-3704B is being changed to read
``FAA, Indianapolis ARTCC.'' Further, the designated altitudes for R-
3704B are being changed from ``10,000 feet MSL to 20,000 feet MSL,'' to
``10,001 feet MSL to 20,000 feet MSL.'' This will preclude overlapping
airspace jurisdiction between the two FAA facilities. As described
above for R-3704A, the using agency name for R-3704B is also being
changed to reflect the correct U.S. Army organization responsible for
the airspace.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 73 by making several editorial corrections to the descriptions of
restricted areas R-3704A and R-3704B, Fort Knox, KY. For R-3704A, the
designated altitudes are amended by removing the words ``Surface to and
including 10,000 feet MSL'' and inserting the words ``Surface to 10,000
feet MSL.'' The time of designation is amended by removing the words
``0600 to 2400 EST; other times by NOTAM 24 hours in advance,'' and
inserting the words ``0600 to 2400 eastern time; other times by NOTAM
24 hours in advance''. The using agency is amended by removing the
words ``Commanding General, U.S. Army Armor Center, Fort Knox, KY'' and
inserting the words ``Commanding General, Human Resources Center of
Excellence, Fort Knox, KY.'' The description of R-3704B is amended as
follows. The designated altitudes are amended by removing the words
``10,000 feet MSL to 20,000 feet MSL'' and inserting the words ``10,001
feet MSL to 20,000 feet MSL.'' The controlling agency is amended by
removing the words ``FAA, Standiford Control Tower, Louisville, KY''
and inserting the words ``FAA, Indianapolis ARTCC.'' The using agency
is amended by removing the words ``Commanding General, U.S. Army Armor
Center, Fort Knox, KY'' and inserting the words ``Commanding General,
Human Resources Center of Excellence, Fort Knox, KY.''
    This is an administrative change to update the title of the using
agency and make editorial corrections. It does not affect the
boundaries, overall designated altitudes, or activities conducted
within the restricted area; therefore, notice and public procedures
under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are unnecessary.
    Section 73.37 of Title 14, CFR part 73 was republished in FAA Order
7400.8T, effective February 16, 2011.
    The FAA has determined that this action 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 will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this 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.
    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 amends the description of Restricted Areas R-3704A and R-3704B, Fort
Knox, KY.

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 311d. This airspace action is an editorial change to the
descriptions of the affected restricted areas to update the using
agency names and make editorial corrections to the time of designation
and designated altitudes. It does not alter the actual altitudes or
times of designation of the restricted airspace at Fort Knox, KY;
therefore, it is not expected to cause any potentially significant
environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exist that
warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

Method 16C for the Determination of Total Reduced Sulfur
Emissions From Stationary Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes a method for measuring total reduced
sulfur (TRS) emissions from stationary sources. The EPA is making this
method available for general use as requested by a number of source
testing companies since it has been allowed for use in the past on a
case-by-case basis for kraft pulp mills and refineries. This proposed
method would offer advantages over

current methods in that real-time data are acquired and testers are
allowed to use analyzers and procedures for measuring TRS that are
commonly used to measure sulfur dioxide (SO2). The proposed
method would offer an alternative to methods that are currently
required.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 1, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does this action apply to me?

    Method 16C applies to the measurement of TRS at kraft pulp mills
subject to Subpart BB of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS).
Currently, Methods 16, 16A, and 16B are allowed at these facilities.
Method 16C would offer an additional alternative. The methods required
under Subpart BB are sometimes used in special cases under the
petroleum refineries NSPS (Subpart J). Method 16C may be applicable to
other sources regulated by State and local regulations that specify the
use of Methods 16, 16A, or 16B if desired. The entities that are
potentially affected by this proposal are included in the following

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

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark any 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:
     Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
     Follow directions--The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
     Explain why you agree or disagree, suggest alternatives,
and substitute language for your requested changes.
     Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
     If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how
you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.
     Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and
suggest alternatives.
     Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the
use of profanity or personal threats.
     Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background and Summary of Method 16C

    The EPA is making Method 16C available for general use as requested
by a number of source testing companies since it has been allowed on a
case-by-case basis in the past. The proposed method would offer an
alternative to methods that are currently required.
    Method 16C uses the sampling procedures of Method 16A and the
analytical procedures of Method 6C to measure TRS. Total reduced sulfur
is defined as hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, dimethyl sulfide, and
dimethyl disulfide. As described in Method 16A, the sample is collected
from the source through a heated probe and immediately conditioned in a
citrate buffer scrubber. The conditioned sample is oxidized in a tube
furnace to convert TRS to sulfur dioxide (SO2). The oxidized
sample is then analyzed for SO2 using a real-time
SO2 analyzer as prescribed in Method 6C. In this method, we
are combining the proven combustion process of Method 16A with the
analytical techniques currently used for SO2 to form a new,
improved method for measuring TRS.
    This method would become available as an option for use in
connection with the New Source Performance Standards for kraft pulp
mills and possibly petroleum refineries. We have allowed its use in
approximately four tests over the past 10 years on a case-by-case basis
and, based on our experience, it is a good alternative. Method 16C
offers advantages over currently required methods by supplying real-
time data in the field using analyzers and procedures that are
currently used for other pollutants. Performance checks are contained
in the method to ensure that bias and calibration precision are
periodically checked and maintained.
    This rule will not require the use of Method 16C but will allow it
as an alternative method at the discretion of the user. This method
does not impact testing stringency; data are collected under the same
conditions and time intervals as the current methods.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order (EO)12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to review under the EO.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). The method being proposed in this
action does not add information collection requirements but makes an
additional optional procedure available for use by affected parties.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations, and small governmental jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as (1) A small business as defined by
the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13 CFR
121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of
a city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's proposed rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This
rulemaking does not impose emission measurement requirements beyond
those specified in the current regulations, nor does it change any
emission standard. As such, it will not present a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small businesses.
    We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of the
proposed rule on small entities and welcome comments on issues related
to such impacts.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This action contains no Federal mandates under the provisions of
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C.
1531-1538 for State, local, or tribal governments or the private
sector. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any State, local or
tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this action is not
subject to the requirements of sections 202 or 205 of the UMRA. This
action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203 of UMRA
because it contains no regulatory requirements that might significantly
or uniquely affect small governments. This action makes available a new
optional method for measuring pollutants but adds no new requirements.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects 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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. This action simply makes an
optional test method

available for affected sources who desire to use it. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to this action. In the spirit of Executive
Order 13132, and consistent with EPA policy to promote communications
between EPA and State and local governments, EPA specifically solicits
comment on this proposed rule from State and local officials.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action
makes available a new optional method for measuring pollutants but adds
no new requirements. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action. EPA specifically solicits additional comment on this proposed
action from tribal officials.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets EO 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as applying
only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks,
such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of the EO has the
potential to influence the regulation. This action is not subject to EO
13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended
to mitigate health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113 (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to provide
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not to use
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards. This proposed
rulemaking does not involve technical standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order (EO) 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes
Federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States.
    EPA has determined that this proposed rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. This rule adds an optional test method and does not cause
emission increases from regulated sources.

METHOD 16C--DETERMINATION OF TOTAL REDUCED SULFUR EMISSIONS FROM
STATIONARY SOURCES

1.0 Scope and Application

What is method 16C?

    Method 16C is a procedure for measuring total reduced sulfur
(TRS) in stationary source emissions using a continuous instrumental
analyzer. Quality assurance and quality control requirements are
included to assure that you, the tester, collect data of known
quality. You must document your adherence to these specific
requirements for equipment, supplies, sample collection and
analysis, calculations, and data analysis. This method does not
completely describe all equipment, supplies, and sampling and
analytical procedures you will need but refers to other methods for
some of the details. Therefore, to obtain reliable results, you
should also have a thorough knowledge of these additional test
methods which are found in appendix A to this part:
    (a) Method 6C--Determination of Sulfur Dioxide Emissions from
Stationary Sources (Instrumental Analyzer Procedure)
    (b) Method 7E--Determination of Nitrogen Oxides Emissions from

    1.2 Applicability. This method is applicable for determining TRS
emissions from recovery furnaces (boilers), lime kilns, and smelt
dissolving tanks at kraft pulp mills, and from other sources when
specified in an applicable subpart of the regulations.

    1.3 Data Quality Objectives. Adherence to the requirements
described in Method 16C will enhance the quality of the data
obtained from air pollutant sampling methods.

2.0 Summary of Method

    2.1 An integrated gas sample is extracted from the stack. The
SO2 is removed selectively from the sample using a citrate buffer
solution. The TRS compounds are then thermally oxidized to SO2 and
determined as SO2 by an instrumental analyzer. This method is a
combination of the sampling procedures of Method 16A and the
analytical procedures of Method 6C (referenced in Method 7E), with
minor modifications to facilitate their use together.

3.0 Definitions

    Analyzer calibration error, Calibration curve, Calibration gas,
Low-level gas, Mid-level gas, High-level gas, Calibration drift,
Calibration span, Data recorder, Direct calibration mode, Gas
analyzer, Interference check, Measurement system, Response time,
Run, System calibration mode, System performance check, and Test are
the same as used in Methods 16A and 6C.

4.0 Interferences

    4.1 Reduced sulfur compounds other than those regulated by the
emission standards, if present, may be measured by this method.
Compounds like carbonyl sulfide, which is partially oxidized to
SO2 and may be present in a lime kiln exit stack, would
be a positive interferent. Interferences may vary among instruments,
and instrument-specific interferences must be evaluated through the
interference check.
    4.2 Particulate matter from the lime kiln stack gas (primarily
calcium carbonate) can cause a negative bias if it is allowed to
enter the citrate scrubber; the particulate matter will cause the pH
to rise and H2S to be absorbed before oxidation. Proper
use of the particulate filter, described in Section 6.1.3 of Method
16A, will eliminate this interference.

5.0 Safety

    5.1 Disclaimer. This method may involve hazardous materials,
operations, and equipment. This test method may not address all of
the safety problems associated with its use. It is the
responsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety and
health practices before performing this test method.
    5.2 Hydrogen Sulfide. Hydrogen sulfide is a flammable, poisonous
gas with the odor of rotten eggs. Hydrogen sulfide is extremely
hazardous and can cause collapse, coma, and death within a few
seconds of one or two inhalations at sufficient concentrations. Low
concentrations irritate the mucous membranes and may cause nausea,
dizziness, and headache after exposure. It is the responsibility of
the user of this test method to establish appropriate safety and
health practices.

6.0 Equipment and Supplies

    What do I need for the measurement system? The measurement
system is similar to those applicable components in Methods 16A and
6C. An example measurement system is shown in Figure 16C-1 and
component parts are discussed below. Modifications to the apparatus
are accepted provided the performance criteria in Section 13.0 are
met.
    6.1 Probe. Teflon tubing, 6.4-mm (\1/4\-in.) diameter,
sequentially wrapped with heat-resistant fiber strips, a rubberized
heat tape (plug at one end), and heat-resistant adhesive tape. A
flexible thermocouple or other suitable temperature measuring device
must be placed between the Teflon tubing and the fiber strips so
that the temperature can be monitored to prevent softening of the
probe. The probe must be sheathed in stainless steel to provide in-
stack rigidity. A series of bored-out stainless steel fittings
placed at the front of the sheath will prevent moisture and
particulate from entering between the probe and sheath. A 6.4-mm
(\1/4\-in.) Teflon elbow (bored out) must be attached to the inlet
of the probe, and a 2.54 cm (1 in.) piece of Teflon tubing must be
attached at the open end of the elbow to permit the opening of the
probe to be turned away from the particulate stream; this will
reduce the amount of particulate drawn into the sampling train. The
probe is depicted in Figure 16A-2 of Method 16A.
    6.2 Probe Brush. Nylon bristle brush with handle inserted into a
3.2-mm (\1/8\-in.) Teflon tubing. The Teflon tubing should be long
enough to pass the brush through the length of the probe.
    6.3 Particulate Filter. 50-mm Teflon filter holder and a 1- to
2-[mu]m porosity, Teflon filter (may be available through Savillex
Corporation, 5325 Highway 101, Minnetonka, Minnesota 55343, or other
suppliers of filters). The filter holder must be maintained in a hot
box at a temperature sufficient to prevent moisture condensation. A
temperature of 121 [deg]C (250 [deg]F) was found to be sufficient
when testing a lime kiln under sub-freezing ambient conditions.
    6.4 SO2 Scrubber. Three 300-ml Teflon segmented
impingers connected in series with flexible, thick-walled, Teflon
tubing. (Impinger parts and tubing may be available through Savillex
or other suppliers.) The first two impingers contain 100 ml of
citrate buffer, and the third impinger is initially dry. The tip of
the tube inserted into the solution should be constricted to less
than 3 mm (\1/8\-in.) ID and should be immersed to a depth of at
least 5 cm (2 in.).
    6.5 Combustion Tube. Quartz glass tubing with an expanded
combustion chamber 2.54 cm (1 in.) in diameter and at least 30.5 cm
(12 in.) long. The tube ends should have an outside diameter of 0.6
cm (\1/4\-in.) and be at least 15.3 cm (6 in.) long. This length is
necessary to maintain the quartz-glass connector near ambient
temperature and thereby avoid leaks. Alternative combustion tubes
are acceptable provided they are shown to combust TRS at
concentrations encountered during tests.
    6.6 Furnace. A furnace of sufficient size to enclose the
combustion chamber of the combustion tube with a temperature
regulator capable of maintaining the temperature at 800
100 [deg]C (1472  180 [deg]F). The furnace operating
temperature should be checked with a thermocouple to ensure
accuracy.
    6.7 Sampling Pump. A leak-free pump is required to pull the
sample gas through the system at a flow rate sufficient to minimize
the response time of the measurement system and constructed of
material that is non-reactive to the gas it contacts. For dilution-
type measurement systems, an eductor pump may be used to create a
vacuum that draws the sample through a critical orifice at a
constant rate.
    6.8 Calibration Gas Manifold. The calibration gas manifold must
allow the introduction of calibration gases either directly to the
gas analyzer in direct calibration mode or into the measurement
system, at the probe, in system calibration mode, or both, depending
upon the type of system used. In system calibration mode, the system
must be able to flood the sampling probe and vent excess gas.
Alternatively, calibration gases may be introduced at the
calibration valve following the probe. Maintain a constant pressure
in the gas manifold. For in-stack dilution-type systems, a gas
dilution subsystem is required to transport large volumes of
purified air to the sample probe and a probe controller is needed to
maintain the proper dilution ratio.
    6.9 Sample Gas Manifold. The sample gas manifold diverts a
portion of the sample to the analyzer, delivering the remainder to
the by-pass discharge vent. The manifold should also be able to
introduce calibration gases directly to the analyzer. The manifold
must be made of material that is non-reactive to SO2 and
be configured to safely discharge the bypass gas.
    6.10 SO2 Analyzer. You must use an instrument that
uses an ultraviolet, non-dispersive infrared, fluorescence, or other
detection principle to continuously measure SO2 in the
gas stream provided it meets the performance specifications in
Section 13.0.
    6.11 Data Recording. A strip chart recorder, computerized data
acquisition system, digital recorder, or data logger for recording
measurement data must be used.

7.0 Reagents and Standards

    Note: Unless otherwise indicated, all reagents must conform to
the specifications established by the Committee on Analytical
Reagents of the American Chemical Society. When such specifications
are not available, the best available grade must be used.

    7.1 Water. Deionized distilled water must conform to ASTM
Specification D 1193-77 or 91 Type 3 (incorporated by reference--see
Sec.  60.17). The KMnO4 test for oxidizable organic
matter may be omitted when high concentrations of organic matter are
not expected to be present.
    7.2 Citrate Buffer. Dissolve 300 g of potassium citrate (or 284
g of sodium citrate) and 41 g of anhydrous citric acid in 1 liter of
water (200 ml is needed per test). Adjust the pH to between 5.4 and
5.6 with potassium citrate or citric acid, as required.
    7.3 Calibration Gas. Refer to Section 7.1 of Method 7E (as
applicable) for the calibration gas requirements. Example
calibration gas mixtures are listed below.
    (a) SO2 in nitrogen (N2).
    (b) SO2 in air.
    (c) SO2 and CO2 in N2.
    (d) SO2 and O2 in N2.
    (e) SO2/CO2/O2 gas mixture in
N2.
    (f) CO2/NOX gas mixture in N2.

    (g) CO2/SO2/NOX gas mixture in
N2.

For fluorescence-based analyzers, the O2 and
CO2 concentrations of the calibration gases as introduced
to the analyzer must be within 1 percent (absolute) O2
and 1 percent (absolute) CO2 of the O2 and
CO2 concentrations of the effluent samples as introduced
to the analyzer. Alternatively, for fluorescence-based analyzers,
use calibration blends of SO2 in air and the nomographs
provided by the vendor to determine the quenching correction factor
(the effluent O2 and CO2 concentrations must
be known). This requirement does not apply to ambient-level
fluorescence analyers that are used in conjunction with sample
dilution systems.
    7.4 System Performance Check Gas. You must use hydrogen sulfide
(100 ppmv or less) in nitrogen, stored in aluminum cylinders with
concentration certified by the manufacturer.

    Note: Alternatively, hydrogen sulfide recovery gas generated
from a permeation device gravimetrically calibrated and certified at
some convenient operating temperature may be used. The permeation
rate of the device must be such that at the appropriate dilution gas
flow rate, an H2S concentration can be generated in the
range of the stack gas or within 20 percent of the emission
standard.

    7.5 Interference Check. Examples of test gases for the
interference check are listed in Table 7E-3 of Method 7E.

8.0 Sample Collection, Preservation, Storage, and Transport

    8.1 Pre-sampling Tests. Before measuring emissions, perform the
following procedures:
    (a) Calibration gas verification,
    (b) Calibration error test,
    (c) System performance check,
    (d) Verification that the interference check has been satisfied.
    8.1.1 Calibration Gas Verification. Obtain a certificate from
the gas manufacturer documenting the quality of the gas. Confirm
that the manufacturer certification is complete and current. Ensure
that your calibration gas certifications have not expired. This
documentation should be available on-site for inspection. To the
extent practicable, select a high-level gas concentration that will
result in the measured emissions being between 20 and 100 percent of
the calibration span.
    8.1.2 Analyzer Calibration Error Test. After you have assembled,
prepared, and calibrated your sampling system and analyzer, you must
conduct a 3-point analyzer calibration error test before the first
run and again after any failed system performance check or failed
drift test to ensure the calibration is acceptable. Introduce the
low-, mid-, and high-level calibration gases sequentially to the
analyzer in direct calibration mode. For each calibration gas,
calculate the analyzer calibration error using Equation 16C-1 in
Section 12.2. The calibration error for the low-, mid-, and high-
level gases must not exceed 5 percent or 0.5 ppmv. If the
calibration error specification is not met, take corrective action
and repeat the test until an acceptable 3-point calibration is
achieved.
    8.1.3 System Performance Check. Same as in Method 16A, Section
8.5, except samples need not be 30 minutes in duration, and the TRS
sample concentration measured between system performance checks is
corrected by the average of the two system performance samples.
System performance checks are conducted before sampling begins
(optional) and after each sample run (mandatory).
    8.1.4 Interference Check. Same as in Method 7E, Section 8.2.7.
    8.2 Measurement System Preparation.
    8.2.1 For the SO2 scrubber, measure 100 ml of citrate
buffer into the first and second impingers; leave the third impinger
empty. Immerse the impingers in an ice bath, and locate them as
close as possible to the filter heat box. The connecting tubing
should be free of loops. Maintain the probe and filter temperatures
sufficiently high to prevent moisture condensation, and monitor with
a suitable temperature sensor. Prepare the oxidation furnace and
maintain at 800  100 [deg]C (1472  180
[deg]F).
    8.2.2 Citrate Scrubber Conditioning Procedure. Condition the
citrate buffer scrubbing solution by pulling stack gas through the
Teflon impingers as described in Section 8.4.1.
    8.3 Pretest Procedures. After the complete measurement system
has been set up at the site and deemed to be operational, the
following procedures must be completed before sampling is initiated.
    8.3.1 Leak-Check. Appropriate leak-check procedures must be
employed to verify the integrity of all components, sample lines,
and connections. For components upstream of the sample pump, attach
the probe end of the sample line to a manometer or vacuum gauge,
start the pump and pull a vacuum greater than 50 mm (2 in.) Hg,
close off the pump outlet, and then stop the pump and ascertain that
there is no leak for 1 minute. For components after the pump, apply
a slight positive pressure and check for leaks by applying a liquid
(detergent in water, for example) at each joint. Bubbling indicates
the presence of a leak. As an alternative to the initial leak-test,
the system performance check in Section 8.3.2 may be performed to
verify the integrity of components.
    8.3.2 Initial System Performance Check. A system performance
check using the test gas (Section 7.4) is required prior to testing
to validate the sampling train components and procedure.
    8.4 Sample Collection and Analysis
    8.4.1 After performing the required pretest procedures described
in Section 8.1, insert the sampling probe into the test port
ensuring that no dilution air enters the stack through the port.
Condition the sampling system and citrate buffer solution for a
minimum of 15 minutes before beginning analysis. (This
preconditioning may not be necessary if the initial system
performance check is performed.) Begin the sampling and analysis.
Determine the concentration of SO2 for the prescribed
sample or run time. Method 16 defines a test run as sampling over a
period of not less than 3 hours or more than 6 hours when testing
kraft pulp mills. For Method 16C to be consistent with Method 16, a
run may be obtained by: (1) sampling for three 60-minute intervals
or (2) sampling for a 3-hour interval. (Three runs constitute a
test.)
    8.5 Post-Run Evaluations
    8.5.1 System Performance Check. Perform a post-run system
performance check (Section 8.5 of Method 16A) before replacing the
citrate buffer solution and particulate filter and before the probe
is cleaned. The check results must not exceed the 100
20 percent limit set forth in Section 13.3. If this limit is
exceeded, the intervening run or runs are considered invalid.
However, if the recovery efficiency is not in the 100
20 percent range, but the results do not affect the compliance or
noncompliance status of the affected facility, the Administrator may
decide to accept the results of the compliance test.
    8.5.2 Calibration Drift. After a run or series of runs, not to
exceed a 24-hour period after initial calibration, perform a
calibration drift test using a calibration gas (preferably the level
that best approximates the sample concentration) in direct
calibration mode. This drift must not differ from the manufacturer
certified concentration of the gas by more than 3 percent or 0.5
ppm. If the drift exceeds this limit, the intervening run or runs
are considered valid, but a new analyzer calibration test must be
performed and passed before continuing sampling.

10.0 Calibration

    10.1 Calibrate the system using the gases described in Section
7.3. The initial 3-point calibration error test as described in
Section 8.1.2 is required and must meet the specifications in
Section 13 before you start the test. We recommend you conduct an
initial system performance test described in Section 8.1.4 as well
before the test to validate the sampling components and procedures
before sampling. After the test commences, a system performance
check is required after each run. You must include a copy of the
manufacturer's certification of the calibration gases used in the
testing as part of the test report. This certification must include
the 13 documentation requirements in the EPA Traceability Protocol
for Assay and Certification of Gaseous Calibration Standards,
September 1997, as amended August 25, 1999.

11.0 Analytical Procedure

    Because sample collection and analysis are performed together
(see Section 8.0), additional discussion of the analytical procedure
is not necessary.

12.0 Calculations and Data Analysis

    12.1 Nomenclature

ACE = Analyzer calibration error, percent of calibration span.
BWO = Fraction of volume of water vapor in the gas
stream.

mid, or high) when introduced in direct calibration mode, ppmv.
CH2S = Concentration of the system performance check gas,
ppmv H2S.
CS = Measured concentration of the system performance gas
when introduced in system calibration mode, ppmv H2S.
CV = Manufacturer certified concentration of a
calibration gas (low, mid, or high), ppmv SO2.
CSO2 = Sample SO2 concentration, ppmv.
CTRS = Total reduced sulfur concentration corrected for
system performance and adjusted to dry conditions, ppmv.

    12.3 System Performance. Use Equation 16C-2 to calculate the
system performance.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP02SE10.009

    12.4 Calibration Drift. Use Equation 16C-3 to calculate the
calibration drift at a single concentration level after a run or
series of runs (not to exceed a 24-hr period) from initial
calibration. Compare the calibration gas response to the original
response obtained for the gas in the initial analyzer calibration
test (ACEi).
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP02SE10.010

    12.5 TRS Concentration as SO2. For each sample or
test run, calculate the arithmetic average of SO2
concentration values (e.g., 1-minute averages). Then calculate the
sample TRS concentration using Equation 16C-4.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP02SE10.011

13.0 Method Performance

    13.1 Analyzer Calibration Error. At each calibration gas level
(low, mid, and high), the calibration error must either not exceed
5.0 percent of the calibration gas concentration or
[bond]Cs-Cv[bond] must be <= 0.5 ppmv.
    13.2 System Performance. The system performance check result
must be within 20 percent of the system performance gas
concentration. Alternatively, the results are acceptable if
[bond]Cs-Cdir[bond] is <= 0.5 ppmv .
    13.3 Calibration Drift. The calibration drift at the end of any
run or series of runs within a 24-hour period must not differ by
more than 3 percent from the original ACE at that level or
[bond]ACEi-ACEn[bond] must not exceed 0.5 ppmv.
    13.4 Interference Check. For the analyzer, the total
interference response (i.e., the sum of the interference responses
of all tested gaseous components) must not be greater than 2.50
percent of the calibration span. The results are also acceptable if
the sum of the responses does not exceed 0.5 ppmv for a calibration
span of 5 to 10 ppmv, or 0.2 ppmv for a calibration span < 5 ppmv.

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0197; Airspace Docket No. 14-AGL-5]

Proposed Amendment of Class E5 Airspace; Michigan

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: This action proposes to amend Class E5 airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface within the boundary of the
state of Michigan. With the increased use of GPS/GNSS navigation
systems, pilots routinely file and fly flight plans using point-to-
point routes instead of published airways. Often, these point-to-point
routes take aircraft through uncontrolled airspace (Class G). With this
proposal, Minneapolis Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) would
provide more expeditious service and increased efficiency within the
National Airspace System (NAS).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 20, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Send comments on this proposal to the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., West

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from
1,200 feet above the surface within the state of Michigan. This action
would enable Minneapolis ARTCC to have greater latitude to use radar
vectors and/or altitude changes that would provide a more efficient use
of airspace within the NAS.
    Class E airspace designations areas are published in Paragraph 6005
of FAA Order 7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and effective September 15,
2013, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document would be published
subsequently in the Order.
    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 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 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.
    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 would amend Class E5 airspace within the state of Michigan.

Environmental Review

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

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The
Boeing Company Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracks found in the main
landing gear (MLG) beam forward support fitting. This AD requires
repetitive inspections for cracking of the MLG beam forward support
fitting, and applicable on-condition actions. We are issuing this AD to
address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective June 4, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of June 4,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to all The Boeing Company
Model 737-100, -200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes. The
NPRM published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2018 (83 FR
2375). The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracks found in the MLG beam
forward support fitting. The NPRM proposed to require repetitive
inspections for cracking of the MLG beam forward support fitting, and
applicable on-condition actions.
    We are issuing this AD to address cracking of the MLG beam forward
support fitting on the inboard side of the wing buttock line (WBL) 157
rib. Undetected cracks could lead to a fuel leak, the inability of a
principal structural element to carry limit load, or an MLG collapse
that could prevent continued safe flight and landing.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. The following presents the comments received on the
NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment. The Boeing

Company had no objections to the NPRM.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    We concur with the commenter. We have redesignated paragraph (c) of
the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and added paragraph
(c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC ST01219SE does not
affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by this AD.
Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is installed, a
``change in product'' alternative method of compliance (AMOC) approval
request is not necessary to comply with the requirements of 14 CFR
39.17.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the change described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1334, dated
September 26, 2017. The service information describes procedures for
repetitive high frequency eddy current (HFEC) inspections for cracking
of the MLG beam forward support fitting around the fastener locations
common to the rear spar web, below the upper chord on the inboard side
of the WBL 157 rib, and applicable on-condition actions (e.g., repair).
This service information is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 160 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
             Action                   Labor cost         Parts cost      Cost per product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HFEC inspections...............  Up to 81 work-hours               $0  Up to $6,885 per      Up to $1,101,600
                                  x $85 per hour = Up                   inspection cycle.     per inspection
                                  to $6,885 per                                               cycle.
                                  inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD.
Because the number of work-hours can vary widely, depending on the
inspection findings, these figures were not included in the service
information.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):

2018-09-01 The Boeing Company: Amendment 39-19257; Docket No. FAA-
2017-1248; Product Identifier 2017-NM-162-AD.

(a) Effective Date

    This AD is effective June 4, 2018.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to all The Boeing Company Model 737-100, -
200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 series airplanes, certificated in
any category.
    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01219SE (http://rgl.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/
rgstc.nsf/0/ebd1cec7b301293e86257cb30045557a/$FILE/ST01219SE.pdf)
does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions required by
this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 57, Wings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by the report of a crack indication in the
main landing gear (MLG) beam forward support fitting on the inboard
side of the wing buttock line (WBL) 157 rib, and multiple reports of
similar crack findings on other airplanes. We are issuing this AD to
address cracking of the MLG beam forward support fitting on the
inboard side of the WBL 157 rib. Undetected cracks could lead to a
fuel leak, the inability of a principal structural element to carry
limit load, or an MLG collapse that could prevent continued safe
flight and landing.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    (1) For Group 1 airplanes identified in Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1334, dated September 26, 2017: Within 120 days

737-57A1334, dated September 26, 2017, do all applicable actions
identified as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in, and in accordance
with, the Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Service
Bulletin 737-57A1334, dated September 26, 2017.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information Specifications

    (1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements
of this AD: Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1334, dated
September 26, 2017, uses the phrase ``the original issue date of
this service bulletin,'' this AD requires using ``the effective date
of this AD.''
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 737-57A1334, dated
September 26, 2017, specifies contacting Boeing, and specifies that
action as RC: This AD requires repair using a method approved in
accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph (i) of this
AD.

 (i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority
to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures

District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to
the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j) of this AD. Information may
be emailed to: [email protected].
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by the Boeing Commercial Airplanes Organization
Designation Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the
Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, to make those findings. To be
approved, the repair method, modification deviation, or alteration
deviation must meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the
approval must specifically refer to this AD.
    (4) Except as required by paragraph (h)(2) of this AD: For
service information that contains steps that are labeled as RC, the
provisions of paragraphs (i)(4)(i) and (i)(4)(ii) of this AD apply.
    (i) The steps labeled as RC, including substeps under an RC step
and any figures identified in an RC step, must be done to comply
with the AD. If a step or substep is labeled ``RC Exempt,'' then the
RC requirement is removed from that step or substep. An AMOC is
required for any deviations to RC steps, including substeps and
identified figures.
    (ii) Steps not labeled as RC may be deviated from using accepted
methods in accordance with the operator's maintenance or inspection
program without obtaining approval of an AMOC, provided the RC
steps, including substeps and identified figures, can still be done
as specified, and the airplane can be put back in an airworthy
condition.

    FDA intends to make background material available to the public no
later than 2 business days before the meeting. If FDA is unable to post
the background material on its website prior to the meeting, the
background material will be made publicly available on FDA's website at
the time of the advisory committee meeting. Background material and the
link to the online teleconference meeting room will be available at
https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/Calendar/default.htm. Scroll
down to the appropriate advisory committee meeting link. The meeting
will include slide presentations with audio components to allow the
presentation of materials in a manner that most closely resembles an
in-person advisory committee meeting.
    Procedure: Interested persons may present data, information, or
views, orally or in writing, on issues pending before the committee.
All electronic and written submissions submitted to the Docket (see
ADDRESSES) on or before October 14, 2022, will be provided to the
committee. Oral presentations from the public will be scheduled between
approximately 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time. Those individuals
interested in making formal oral presentations should notify the
contact person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of
the evidence or arguments they wish to present, the names and addresses
of proposed participants, and an indication of the approximate time
requested to make their presentation on or before October 5, 2022. Time
allotted for each presentation may be limited. If the number of
registrants requesting to speak is greater than can be reasonably
accommodated during the scheduled open public hearing session, FDA may
conduct a lottery to determine the speakers for the scheduled open
public hearing session. The contact person will notify interested
persons regarding their request to speak by October 6, 2022.
    For press inquiries, please contact the Office of Media Affairs at
[email protected] or<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    FDA welcomes the attendance of the public at its advisory committee
meetings and will make every effort to accommodate persons with
disabilities. If you require accommodations due to a disability, please
contact Philip Bautista (see FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT) at least
7 days in advance of the meeting.
    FDA is committed to the orderly conduct of its advisory committee
meetings. Please visit our website at https://www.fda.gov/AdvisoryCommittees/AboutAdvisoryCommittees/ucm111462.htm for procedures
