I. Background

    On October 26, 2015, EPA promulgated a revised 8-hour ozone NAAQS
of 0.070 parts per million (ppm). See 80 FR 65292. Upon promulgation of
a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires EPA to designate as
nonattainment any area that is violating the NAAQS based on the three
most recent years of ambient air quality data. This action relates to
nonattainment areas in Michigan that were designated nonattainment for
the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS on June 4, 2018.
    On December 6, 2018, EPA issued a final rule entitled,
``Implementation of the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
Ozone: Nonattainment Area State Implementation Plan Requirements,''
which established the requirements and deadlines that state, tribal,
and local air quality management agencies must meet as they develop
implementation plans for areas where ozone concentrations exceed the
2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Based on its initial nonattainment designation
for the 2015 8-hour ozone standards, Michigan was required to make a
SIP revision addressing NNSR program requirements. This requirement may
be met by submitting a SIP revision consisting of a new or revised NNSR
permit program, or an analysis demonstrating that the existing SIP-
approved NNSR permit program meets the applicable 2015 ozone
requirements and a letter certifying the analysis.

II. Michigan's Submittal

    On January 24, 2023, Michigan submitted a SIP revision requesting
that EPA approve Michigan's certification that its existing SIP-
approved NNSR regulations fully satisfy the NNSR requirements set forth
in 40 CFR 51.165 for all areas not attaining the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
Michigan has certified that specific sections of its NNSR rules in Part
19, New Source Review for Major Sources Impacting Nonattainment Areas,
continue to meet the NNSR requirements for ozone nonattainment areas
under the 2015 ozone NAAQS. Table 1 below provides the sections of
Michigan's NNSR rule corresponding to the relevant requirements at 40
CFR 51.165. The Michigan rules were previously approved on May 12, 2021
(86 FR 25954). Each requirement identified in Michigan's certification
has not been revised since EPA last approved it. Table 1 lists the
specific

provisions of Michigan's NNSR rules that address the required elements
of the Federal NNSR rules:

III. Analysis of Nonattainment New Source Review Requirements

    NNSR is a preconstruction review permit program that applies to new
major stationary sources or major modifications at existing sources
within a nonattainment area and is required under CAA sections
172(c)(5) and 173.
    As mentioned in Section I of this preamble, NNSR permit program
requirements were adopted for the 2015 ozone NAAQS at 40 CFR 51.1314 as
part of the 2015 SIP Requirements Rule. The minimum SIP requirements
for NNSR permitting programs for the 2015 ozone NAAQS are contained in
40 CFR 51.165. The SIP for each ozone nonattainment area must contain
NNSR provisions that: (1) set major source thresholds for nitrogen
oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) pursuant to 40 CFR
51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(1)(i) through (iv) and (a)(1)(iv)(A)(2); (2)
classify physical changes as a major source if the change would
constitute a major source by itself pursuant to 40 CFR
51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(3); (3) consider any significant net emissions
increase of NOX as a significant net emissions increase for ozone
pursuant to 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(E); (4) consider any increase of VOC
emissions in Extreme ozone nonattainment areas as a significant net
emissions increase and a major modification for ozone pursuant to 40
CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(F); (5) set significant emissions rates for VOC and
NOX as ozone precursors pursuant to 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(x)(A) through
(C) and (E); (6) contain provisions for emissions reductions credits
pursuant to 40 CFR 51.165(a)(3)(ii)(C)(1) and (2); (7) provide that the
requirements applicable to VOC also apply to NOX pursuant to 40 CFR
51.165(a)(8); (8) set offset ratios for VOC and NOX pursuant to 40 CFR
51.165(a)(9)(ii) through (iv); and (9) require public participation
procedures compliant with 40 CFR 51.165(i).
    Michigan's SIP-approved NNSR program, established in Part 19, ``New
Source Review for Major Sources Impacting Nonattainment Areas,'' of the
state's Air Pollution and Control rules, applies to the construction
and modification of stationary sources, including major stationary
sources in nonattainment areas under its jurisdiction. Michigan's
submitted SIP revision includes a compliance demonstration, consisting
of a table listing each of the 2015 ozone NAAQS NNSR SIP requirements
from 40 CFR 51.165 and a citation to the specific provision of the rule
satisfying the requirement. The submittal also includes a certification
by the state that the cited rules meet the Federal NNSR requirements
for the applicable ozone nonattainment designation. EPA has reviewed
the demonstration and cited program elements intended to meet the
Federal NNSR requirements and is approving the state's submittal
because the current SIP-approved NNSR program satisfies all the 2015
ozone NAAQS SIP Requirements Rule NNSR program requirements applicable
to the Michigan ozone nonattainment areas.

IV. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving Michigan's January 24, 2023, SIP revision
addressing the NNSR requirements of the 2015 ozone NAAQS. EPA has
concluded that Michigan's submission fulfills the 40 CFR 51.1314
revision requirement, meets the requirements of CAA sections 110 and
172 and the minimum SIP requirements of 40 CFR 51.165. We are
publishing this action without prior proposal because we view this as a
noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comments. However,
in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register publication, we
are publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the state plan if relevant adverse written comments are filed.
This rule will be effective August 8, 2023 without further notice
unless we receive relevant adverse written comments by July 10, 2023.
If we receive such comments, we will withdraw this action before the
effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will withdraw
the final action. All public comments received will then be addressed
in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed action. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA
receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this
rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the
rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not
the subject of an adverse comment. If we do not receive any comments,
this action will be effective August 8, 2023.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of

the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    EGLE did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as part
of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations
neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an
EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due to the nature
of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a
neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there
is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of
E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-
income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 8, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2018-P-4851]

Determination That LUPRON (Leuprolide Acetate) Injection, 1
Milligram/0.2 Milliliter, Was Not Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of
Safety or Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has
determined that LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1 milligram
(mg)/0.2 milliliter (mL), was not withdrawn from sale for reasons of
safety or effectiveness. This determination means that FDA will not
begin procedures to withdraw approval of abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) that refer to this drug product, and it will allow
FDA to continue to approve ANDAs that refer to the product as long as
they meet relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Meadow Platt, Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New
Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 51, Rm. 6224, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002, 301-
796-1830<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417)
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate
versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants
must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are
seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same
strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of
the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is known generally as the ``Orange
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for
reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed
drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21
CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that
does not refer to a listed drug.
    LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1 mg/0.2 mL, is the subject
of NDA 019010, held by Abbvie Endocrine, Inc., and initially approved
on April 9, 1985. LUPRON is indicated for palliative treatment of
advanced prostatic cancer. LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1 mg/
0.2 mL, is currently listed in the ``Discontinued Drug Product List''
section of the Orange Book.
    Hetero Labs Limited submitted a citizen petition dated December 20,
2018 (Docket No. FDA-2018-P-4851), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting that
the Agency determine whether LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1
mg/0.2 mL, was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or
effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1 mg/
0.2 mL, was not withdrawn for reasons of safety or effectiveness. The
petitioner has identified no data or other information suggesting that
LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1 mg/0.2 mL, was withdrawn for
reasons of safety or effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our
files for records

concerning the withdrawal of LUPRON (leuprolide acetate) injection, 1
mg/0.2 mL, from sale. We have also independently evaluated relevant
literature and data for possible postmarketing adverse events. We have
found no information that would indicate that this drug product was
withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list LUPRON (leuprolide
acetate) injection, 1 mg/0.2 mL, in the ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' section of the Orange Book. The ``Discontinued Drug Product
List'' delineates, among other items, drug products that have been
discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or
effectiveness. FDA will not begin procedures to withdraw approval of
approved ANDAs that refer to this drug product. Additional ANDAs for
this drug product may also be approved by the Agency as long as they
meet all other legal and regulatory requirements for the approval of
ANDAs. If FDA determines that labeling for this drug product should be
revised to meet current standards, the Agency will advise ANDA
applicants to submit such labeling.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2000-17-
03 that applies to all Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0100
airplanes. AD 2000-17-03 currently requires a one-time visual
inspection and repetitive eddy current and dye penetrant inspections of
the nose landing gear (NLG) main fitting to detect cracking of the NLG
main fitting subassembly, and corrective actions if necessary. Since we
issued AD 2000-17-03, we were advised that replacement of certain nose
landing gear (NLG) units eliminates the need for repetitive
inspections. This proposed AD would retain existing requirements,
require installation a new part number NLG unit that would terminate
the repetitive inspections, and add airplanes to the applicability. We
are proposing this AD to prevent cracking of the NLG main fitting,
which could lead to collapse of the NLG during takeoff and landing, and
possible injury to the flight crew and passengers.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by April 14, 2014.

Discussion

    On August 17, 2000, we issued AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65
FR 52298, August 29, 2000). AD 2000-17-03 requires actions intended to
address an unsafe condition on Fokker Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark
0100 airplanes.
    Since we issued AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298,
August 29, 2000), we received a report of a NLG main fitting failure.
The European Aviation Safety Agency

(EASA), which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Community, has issued EASA Airworthiness Directive 2012-
0002R1, dated March 30, 2012 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI states:

    In 1997, a report was received concerning a Fokker 100 (F28 Mark
0100) aeroplane, where during landing following nose wheel touch-
down, the nose landing gear (NLG) broke off just below the pintle
pins. Subsequent inspection by the affected operator of other
aeroplanes in the fleet identified three more suspect NLG main
fittings. Eddy current (EC) and/or dye penetrant inspections of
these units later confirmed that cracks were present on the inner
side of the downlock plunger support web. The total number of flight
cycles (FC) accumulated by the cracked NLG main fittings at the time
of detection were between 9,300 FC and 17,600 FC.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could result in
further incidents of NLG collapse, possibly resulting in damage to
the aeroplane and/or injury to the occupants. To address this
potential unsafe condition, (Civil Aviation Authority --Netherlands]
CAA-NL issued AD (BLA) 1997-116 (currently at issue 2) to require
repetitive inspections of the NLG main fitting and, depending on
findings, rework or replacement of the NLG main fitting.
    Since AD (BLA) 1997-116/2 was issued, it was determined that
replacement of a Messier-Dowty (M-D, formerly Dowty Rotol) Part
Number (P/N) 201071001 or P/N 201071002 NLG with, respectively, a P/
N 201071003 or P/N 201071004 (which have a so-called `heavy weight'
main fitting installed) or, respectively, with a P/N 201456001 or P/
N 201461001 (which are so-called `heavy weight' NLG units) cancels
the need for repetitive inspection and/or rework. The `heavy weight'
main fitting was originally developed for an increased weight
version (101,000 lbs. maximum take-off weight) of the Fokker 100, as
well as for the Fokker 70 (F28 Mark 0070), and introduced on the
production line.
    M-D issued Service Bulletin (SB) F100-32-94 and Fokker Services
issued SBF100-32-119, which provide instructions to install the P/N
201071003 or P/N 201071004 NLG on aeroplanes in service. In
addition, Fokker Services issued optional SBF100-32-149 to introduce
the P/N 201456001 or P/N 201461001 NLG units on aeroplanes in
service.
    In January 2010, a second NLG main fitting failure occurred. The
results of the investigation showed that the fracture started from
small fatigue cracks in the affected area. Prompted by this new
occurrence, combined with the NLG certification methodology (safe
life principle), EASA has decided that the existing terminating
action, installation of a P/N 201071003 or P/N 201071004 NLG should
be made mandatory. Alternatively, a P/N 201456001 or P/N 201461001
NLG can be installed, which meets the same requirement.
    For the reasons described above, EASA issued AD 2012-0002,
retaining the requirements of CAA-NL AD (BLA) 1997-116/2, which was
superseded, and to require the replacement of all P/N 201071001 and
P/N 201071002 NLG units with, respectively, P/N 201071003 and P/N
201071004 NLG units, or alternatively with, respectively, P/N
201456001 or P/N 201461001 NLG units.
    Replacement of a NLG main fitting or of a NLG unit on an
aeroplane constitutes terminating action for the repetitive
inspections for that aeroplane.
    EASA AD 2012-0002 also prohibits, after modification of an
aeroplane, installation of a P/N 201071001 or P/N 201071002 NLG unit
on that aeroplane.

This proposed AD expands the applicability to include all Fokker
Services B.V. Model F.28 Mark 0100 airplanes. You may examine the MCAI
in the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-2014-0062.

Relevant Service Information

    Fokker Services B.V. has issued the following service bulletins:
     Fokker Services B.V. Service Bulletin SBF 100-32-119,
Revision 1, dated November 15, 2011, which refers to Messier-Dowty
Service Bulletin F100-32-92, Revision 1, dated October 8, 1999, as an
additional source of service information for accomplishing the
inspections and rework of the NLG main fitting subassembly.
     Fokker Services B.V. Service Bulletin Change Notification
SBF 100-32-119/1, dated January 31, 2000.
     Fokker Services B.V. Proforma Service Bulletin SBF 100-32-

December 12, 2006.
     Fokker Services B.V. Service Bulletin SBF 100-53-074,
dated November 1, 1999.
    The actions described in this service information are intended to
correct the unsafe condition identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.
    In many FAA transport ADs, when the service information specifies
to contact the manufacturer for further instructions if certain
discrepancies are found, we typically include in the AD a requirement
to accomplish the action using a method approved by either the FAA or
the State of Design Authority (or its delegated agent).
    We have recently been notified that certain laws in other countries
do not allow such delegation of authority, but some countries do
recognize design approval organizations. In addition, we have become
aware that some U.S. operators have used repair instructions that were
previously approved by a State of Design Authority or a Design Approval
Holder (DAH) as a method of compliance with this provision in FAA ADs.
Frequently, in these cases, the previously approved repair instructions
come from the airplane structural repair manual or the DAH repair
approval statements that were not specifically developed to address the
unsafe condition corrected by the AD. Using repair instructions that
were not specifically approved for a particular AD creates the
potential for doing repairs that were not developed to address the
unsafe condition identified by the MCAI AD, the FAA AD, or the
applicable service information, which could result in the unsafe
condition not being fully corrected.
    To prevent the use of repairs that were not specifically developed
to correct the unsafe condition, certain requirements of this proposed
AD specify that the repair approval specifically refer to the FAA AD.
This change is intended to clarify the method of compliance and to
provide operators with better visibility of repairs that are
specifically developed and approved to correct the unsafe condition. In
addition, we use the phrase ``its delegated agent, or the DAH with
State of Design Authority design organization approval, as applicable''
in this proposed AD to refer to a DAH authorized to approve certain
required repairs for this proposed AD.

Explanation of Changes Made to the Existing AD

    On July 10, 2002, the FAA issued a new version of 14 CFR part 39
(67 FR 47997, July 22, 2002), which governs the FAA's airworthiness
directives system. The regulation now includes material that relates to
altered products, special flight permits, and alternative methods of
compliance (AMOCs). Because we have now included this material in 14
CFR part 39, only the office authorized

to approve AMOCs is identified in each individual AD. Therefore, Notes
1 and 5 of AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298, August 29,
2000), are not included in this NPRM. We have also revised Note 2 of AD
2000-17-03 to lettered paragraph (h) in this NPRM (this change does not
affect the intent of that Note) and removed Note 3 of that AD because
that information does not apply to the new actions specified in this
NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 4 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876
(65 FR 52298, August 29, 2000), and retained in this proposed AD take
about 2 work-hours per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per
work-hour. Required parts cost about $0 per product. Based on these
figures, the estimated cost of the actions that were required by AD
2000-17-03 is $170 per product.
    We also estimate that it would take about 8 work-hours per product
to comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The
average labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Required parts would cost
about $525,000 per product. Where the service information lists
required parts costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed
there will be no charge for these parts. As we do not control warranty
coverage for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this
proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $2,102,720, or $526,680 per
product.
    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
a cost estimate for the on-condition actions specified in this proposed
AD.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    A federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, nor shall a person be subject to penalty for
failure to comply with a collection of information subject to the
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act unless that collection of
information displays a current valid OMB control number. The control
number for the collection of information required by this AD is 2120-
0056. The paperwork cost associated with this AD has been detailed in
the Costs of Compliance section of this document and includes time for
reviewing instructions, as well as completing and reviewing the
collection of information. Therefore, all reporting associated with
this AD is mandatory. Comments concerning the accuracy of this burden
and suggestions for reducing the burden should be directed to the FAA
at 800 Independence Ave. SW., Washington, DC 20591, ATTN: Information
Collection Clearance Officer, AES-200.

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 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 this 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);
    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.

(g) Retained One-Time Visual Inspection

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (a) of
AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298, August 29, 2000).
For airplanes equipped with Messier-Dowty nose landing gear (NLG)
having part number (P/N) 201071001 or 201071002, on which a main
fitting subassembly (MFSA) having P/N 201071200, 201071228,
201071248, or 201071249 is installed: Prior to the accumulation of
7,500 total flight cycles or within 50 flight cycles after October
3, 2000 (the effective date of AD 2000-17-03), whichever occurs
later, perform a one-time detailed visual inspection of the NLG main
fitting subassembly to detect cracking, in accordance with Part 1 of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-
32-118, dated October 8, 1999.
    (1) If no cracking is detected, no further action is required by
this paragraph.
    (2) If any cracking is detected, prior to further flight,
accomplish the actions required by paragraph (i) of this AD.

(h) Definition of a Detailed Visual Inspection

    For the purposes of this AD, a detailed visual inspection is
defined as: An intensive visual examination of a specific structural
area, system, installation, or assembly to detect damage, failure,
or irregularity. Available lighting is normally supplemented with a
direct source of good lighting at intensity deemed appropriate by
the inspector. Inspection aids such as mirrors, magnifying lenses,
etc., may be used. Surface cleaning and elaborate access procedures
may be required.

(i) Retained Repetitive Eddy Current and/or Dye Penetrant Inspections

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (b) of
AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298, August 29, 2000),
with a new exception. For airplanes equipped with Messier-Dowty nose
landing gear (NLG) having part number (P/N) 201071001 or 201071002,
on which a main fitting subassembly (MFSA) having P/N 201071200,
201071228, 201071248, or 201071249 is installed: Except as required
by paragraph (g)(2) of this AD, prior to the accumulation of 7,875
total flight cycles, or within 375 flight cycles after October 3,
2000 (the effective date of AD 2000-17-03), whichever occurs later,
perform an eddy current or dye penetrant inspection of the NLG main
fitting subassembly to detect cracking, in accordance with Part 2 of
the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-
32-118, dated October 8, 1999 (which is incorporated by reference in
AD 2000-17-03). Such inspection within the compliance time required
by paragraph (g) of this AD terminates the requirements of paragraph
(g) of this AD. Repeat the inspection thereafter, using an eddy
current or dye penetrant technique, at intervals not to exceed 750
flight cycles, except as required by paragraph (m)(1) of this AD.
Repeat the inspection until the replacement specified in paragraph
(l) of this AD is done, or the installation specified in paragraph
(n) of this AD is done.

(j) Retained Rework of Main Fitting

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (c) of
AD 2000-17-03, Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298, August 29, 2000),
with revised repair methods. If any cracking is detected during any
inspection required by paragraph (g) or (i) of this AD: Prior to
further flight, rework the main fitting of the NLG, in accordance
with Part 3 of the Accomplishment Instructions of Fokker Service
Bulletin SBF100-32-118, dated October 8, 1999 (which is incorporated
by reference in AD 2000-17-03). If, after rework, any cracking
remains that exceeds the limits specified in Fokker Service Bulletin
SBF100-32-118, dated October 8, 1999, prior to further flight,
accomplish the actions specified by either paragraph (j)(1) or
(j)(2) of this AD.
    (1) Replace the NLG in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Fokker Service Bulletin SBF100-32-118, dated October
8, 1999 (which is incorporated by reference in AD 2000-17-03); and
within 7,875 flight cycles after such replacement, perform the
inspection as specified in paragraph (i) of this AD, and repeat the
inspection thereafter at intervals not to exceed 750 flight cycles.
    (2) Repair in accordance with a method approved by the Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA;
or the Rijksluchtvaartdienst (RLD) (or its delegated agent); or the
European Aviation Safety Agency (or its delegated agent, or the
Design Approval Holder with EASA's design organization approval, as
applicable). For a repair method to be approved by the Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, as required by this paragraph, the
Manager's approval letter must specifically reference AD 2000-17-03,
Amendment 39-11876 (65 FR 52298, August 29, 2000). For a repair
method to be approved as of the effective date of this AD, the
repair approval must specifically refer to this AD.

    Note 1 to paragraph (j) of this AD: Fokker Service Bulletin
SBF100-32-118, dated October 8, 1999 (which is incorporated by
reference in AD 2000-17-03), references Messier-Dowty Service
Bulletin F100-32-92, Revision 1, dated October 8, 1999, as an
additional source of service information for accomplishing the
inspections and rework of the NLG main fitting subassembly.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: FERC-511, Transfer of Hydropower License.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The title is being updated to Transfer of Hydropower License
(rather than Transfer of Electric License).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OMB Control No.: 1902-0069.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-511 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting and
recordkeeping requirements.
    Abstract: The purpose of FERC-511 is to implement the information
collections pursuant to section 8 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) under title 18 CFR part 9 (Transfer
of License) sections 9.1 through 9.3 and section 131.20 of the 18 CFR.
Section 8 of the FPA stipulates that no voluntary transfer of any
license, or the rights thereunder granted, shall be made without the
written approval of the Commission. Sections 9.1 through 9.3 of the 18
CFR states that any licensee (transferor) desiring to transfer a
license and the person, association, corporation, State, or
municipality (transferee) desiring to acquire the same must jointly
file an application for Commission's approval of such transfer.
    The application must show that the transfer is in the public
interest and provide the qualifications of the transferee to hold such
license and to operate the property under the license. Approval of the
transfer is contingent upon the transfer of title to the properties
under the license, transfer of all project files including all dam
safety related documents, and delivery of all license instruments. The
application for approval of transfer of license must conform to the
requirements of sections 131.20 of the 18 CFR, which must include the
following: application statement by all parties; verification
statement; proof of citizenship; evidence of compliance by the
transferor with all applicable state laws or how the transferee
proposes to comply; and qualifications of the transferee to hold the
license and operate the project.
    The Commission uses the information collected under the
requirements of FERC-511 to implement the statutory provisions of
sections 8 of the Federal Power Act (FPA) and 18 CFR part 9 and 18 CFR
131.20 of the Commission's regulations. The information filed with the
Commission is in the format of a written application for transfer of
license, executed jointly by the parties of the proposed transfer. The
Commission uses the information collected to determine the
qualifications of the proposed transferee to hold the license and to
prepare the transfer of the license order to make its determination.
    Type of Respondent: Existing Hydropower Project Licensees and those
entities wishing to have a Hydropower Project License transferred to
them.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \2\ The Commission estimates the annual
burden and cost \3\ for the information collection as follows.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Burden is defined as 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. See 5
CFR 1320 for additional information on the definition of information
collection burden.
    \3\ The FERC 2022 average salary plus benefits for one FERC
full-time equivalent (FTE) is $188,922/year (or $91.00/hour).
Commission staff estimates that the industry's skill set (wages and
benefits) for completing and filing FERC-511 is comparable to the
Commission's skill set.

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The number of respondents has been reduced from 46 to 13 for
this renewal; this is based on the average number of filings made in
the past three years.
    \5\ The cost per respondent has not actually increased between
this renewal and the previous renewal, but a mathematical error has
been corrected. We estimate the cost per response to be the same:
$3,640.

Through FOSTTA, the Chemical Information and Management Project ( CIMP) focuses on EPA's chemical program and works to develop a more coordinated effort involving federal, state, and tribal agencies. The Pollution Prevention Project ( P2) promotes the prevention ethic across society, helping companies incorporate P2 approaches and techniques and integrating P2 into mainstream environmental activities at both the federal level and among the states and tribes. The Tribal Affairs Project ( TAP) concentrates on chemical and prevention issues that are most relevant to the tribes, including lead control and abatement, Tribal traditional/ subsistence lifeways, and hazard communications and outreach. FOSTTA's vision is to focus on major policy level issues of importance to states and tribes, recruit more senior state and tribal leaders, increase outreach to all 50 states and some 560 federally recognized tribes, and vigorously seek ways to engage the states and tribes in ongoing substantive discussions on complex and oftentimes controversial environmental issues.

In January 2002, the Environmental Council of the States ( ECOS), in cooperation with the National Tribal Environmental Council ( NTEC), was awarded the new FOSTTA cooperative agreement. ECOS, NTEC, and EPA's Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics ( OPPT) are cosponsoring the meetings. As part of a cooperative agreement, ECOS facilitates ongoing efforts of the state and tribal leaders and OPPT to increase understanding and improve collaboration on toxic chemicals and pollution prevention issues, and to continue a dialogue on how federal environmental programs can best be implemented among the states, tribes, and EPA.

At the discretion of the chair, an effort will be made to accommodate participation by observers attending the proceedings. The FOSTTA representatives and EPA will collaborate on environmental protection and pollution prevention issues. The tentative agenda items identified by the states and the tribes follow: 1. Federal Budget Process ( TAP) 2. Pollution Prevention Activities ( TAP) 3. Discussion HPV Challenge Data Base and demonstration ( CIMP) 4. Joint Session with TAP/ CIMP to increase state and tribal involvement ( CIMP) 5. Connecting P2 with measurable results ( P2) 6. P2 in schools ( P2)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
TFR Temporary Final Rule

A. Regulatory History and Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing an NPRM with respect to this rule
because doing so would be impracticable. The final details for this
event were not known to the Coast Guard until there was insufficient
time remaining before the event to publish an NPRM. Thus, delaying the
effective date of this rule to wait for a comment period to run would
be impracticable because it would inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to
protect spectators and vessels from the hazards associated with a
maritime fireworks display and ski show, which are discussed further
below.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), The Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this temporary rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the same reasons discussed in
the preceding paragraph, waiting for a 30 day notice period to run
would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33
CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5; Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    During the afternoon of August 31, 2013, the Village of Sister Bay
will sponsor a ski show involving 5 power-boats on the waters of Sister
Bay near Sister Bay, Wisconsin. This ski show is scheduled to take
place in the vicinity of the Sister Bay Marina. The Coast Guard
anticipates a large number of spectator vessels, as well as Marina
traffic, during the time of the ski show.
    During the evening of August 31, 2013, the Sister Bay Advancement
Association will sponsor a fireworks display on the waters of Sister
Bay near Sister Bay, Wisconsin. The Coast Guard anticipates a large
number of spectators to congregate around the launch position during
the display.
    The Captain of the Port, Lake Michigan, has determined that the ski
show and fireworks display will pose a significant risk to public
safety and property. Such hazards include falling debris, flaming
debris, and collisions among spectator vessels and vessels involved in
the ski show.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    With the aforementioned hazards in mind, the Captain of the Port,
Lake Michigan, has determined that this temporary safety zone is
necessary to ensure the safety of spectators and vessels during the
fireworks display and ski show within Sister Bay. This zone will be
effective and enforced from 1 p.m. until 3:15 p.m. and from 8:15 p.m.
until 10 p.m. on August 31, 2013. This zone will encompass all waters
of Sister Bay within a 1000-foot radius of a position at
45[deg]11'33.0'' N, 87[deg]7'23.0'' W (NAD 83).
    Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port, Lake Michigan,
or his designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the Port or
his designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF Channel
16.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. It is not
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security.
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
small and enforced for only one day in August. Under certain
conditions, moreover, vessels may still transit through the safety zone
when permitted by the Captain of the Port.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this rule on small entities. The Coast Guard
certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
This rule will affect the following entities, some of which might be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
or anchor in a portion of Sister Bay on August 31, 2013.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, we would issue local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners so vessel owners and operators can plan accordingly.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to

the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman and
the Regional Small Business Regulatory Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman
evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency's responsiveness
to small business. If you wish to comment on actions by employees of
the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR (1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard
will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain
about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the establishment of a safety zone and,
therefore it is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are available in the docket where
indicated under ADDRESSES.

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision
Approval, State of Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of the State of
Minnesota's request to revise its National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations Implementation EPA-authorized program to allow electronic
reporting.

DATES: EPA's approval is effective July 14, 2017 for the State of
Minnesota's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation
program, if no timely request for a public hearing is received and
accepted by the Agency.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Information, Mail Stop
2823T, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 566-
1175<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR.
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On March 27, 2017, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH)
submitted an amended application titled ``Compliance Monitoring Data
Portal'' for revision to its EPA-approved drinking water program under
title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed MDH's
request to revise its EPA-authorized program and, based on this review,
EPA determined that the application met the standards for approval of
authorized program revision set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's decision to
approve Minnesota's request to revise its Part 142--National Primary
Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program to allow electronic
reporting under 40 CFR part 141 is being published in the Federal
Register.
    MDH was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program listed above.
    Also, in today's notice, EPA is informing interested persons that
they may request a public hearing on EPA's action to approve the State
of Minnesota's request to revise its authorized public water system
program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f).
Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of
publication of today's Federal Register notice. Such requests should
include the following information: (1) The name, address and telephone
number of the individual, organization or other entity requesting a
hearing; (2) A brief statement of the requesting person's interest in
EPA's determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a
hearing, and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA
to consider when determining whether to grant the request; (3) The
signature of the individual making the request, or, if the request is
made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the signature of a
responsible official of the organization or other entity.
    In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide
notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days
prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public
hearing, EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order
either affirming today's determination or rescinding such
determination. If no timely request for a hearing is received and
granted, EPA's approval of the State of Minnesota's request to revise
its part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation program to allow electronic reporting will become
effective 30 days after today's notice is published, pursuant to
CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).
