    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Steam Generating Units (40 CFR part
60, subpart Db) were proposed on June 19, 1986, promulgated on December
16, 1987, and most-recently amended on February 27, 2014. The amendment
of 2014 promulgated technical and editorial corrections for source-
testing of emission operations. The revisions did not result in any
changes to either the reporting or recordkeeping requirements. These
regulations apply to industrial/commercial/institutional steam
generating units (boilers) that commenced either construction, or
modification, or reconstruction after June 19, 1984, and have a heat
input capacity from fuels combusted in the unit of greater than 29
megawatts (MW) (100 million British thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr)).
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 60, subpart Db.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of industrial/
commercial/institutional steam generating units (boilers) that
commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after June 19,
1984, and have a heat input capacity from fuels combusted in the unit
of greater than 29 megawatts (MW) (100 million British thermal units
per hour (MMBtu/hr)).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Db).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,957 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,790,000 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $243,000,000 (per year), which includes
$36,200,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is based
on an increase in the number of sources subject to the

NSPS due to continued growth in the industry.

Airworthiness Directives; Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for Leonardo S.p.a. (Leonardo) Model A109S and AW109SP helicopters with
a certain part-numbered vertical fin vibration absorber installation
installed. This proposed AD would require repetitive inspections of the
vertical fin vibration absorber installation and the surrounding
structure and depending on

the inspection results, removing certain parts from service. This
proposed AD would also prohibit installing certain part-numbered
vertical fin vibration absorber installations. This proposed AD was
prompted by a report of cracks and damage detected on the vertical fin
absorber installation and surrounding structure during scheduled
inspections. The actions of this proposed AD are intended to address an
unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by June 28,
2021.

Background

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, issued EASA AD 2014-0150, dated June 18, 2014 (EASA AD
2014-0150), to correct an unsafe condition for certain AgustaWestland
S.p.A. (now Leonardo S.p.a. Helicopters) (formerly Agusta S.p.A.) Model
A109S and AW109SP helicopters, with absorber part number (P/N) 109-
B810-79-101installed. EASA advises that during a scheduled inspection
on Model A109S and AW109SP helicopters, cracks and damage were detected
on the vertical fin vibration absorber installation and the surrounding
structure. EASA states investigation results determined the cracks and
damage were likely related to the design of the vertical fin vibration
absorber installation and incorrect installation. Accordingly, EASA AD
2014-0150 required repetitive inspections and removal of the affected
part.
    After EASA AD 2014-0150 was issued, EASA determined certain
helicopters were not included in the applicability and may also be
subject to the unsafe condition. Accordingly, EASA issued EASA AD 2019-
0294, dated December 4, 2019 (EASA AD 2019-0294), which supersedes EASA
AD 2014-0150. EASA AD 2019-0294 retains the requirements of EASA AD
2014-0150, and expands the applicability, prohibits vertical fin
vibration absorber installation P/N 109-B810-79-101 from being
installed on any helicopter, and considers removal of the affected part
to constitute terminating action for the repetitive inspections. EASA
states this condition if not detected and corrected could affect the
structural integrity of the helicopter.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA about the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is proposing this AD
after evaluating all known relevant information and determining that an
unsafe condition is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters of
the same type designs.

Related Service Information

    The FAA reviewed AgustaWestland S.p.A. Bollettino Technico (BT) No.
109S-58 for Model A109S helicopters, and AgustaWestland S.p.A BT No.
109SP-074 for Model AW109SP helicopters, each dated May 7, 2014. This
service information specifies instructions for removing the vertical
fin vibration absorber installation, inspecting the rib assembly and
vertical fin vibration absorber installation and depending on the
inspection results, removing certain parts from service.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require within 30 hours time-in-service
(TIS) after the effective date of this AD, and thereafter every 100
hours TIS, removing the vertical fin vibration absorber installation P/
N 109-B810-79-101, and using a mirror and light source, inspecting the
rib assembly and depending on the inspection results, removing certain
parts from service. This proposed AD would also require inspecting the
vertical fin vibration absorber installation P/N 109-B810-79-101 for
hole elongation; for fretting between the plate and the masses, and in-
between the masses; for fretting on the doubler; and the bolts for
scratches and corrosion. Depending on the inspection results, this
proposed AD would require removing the vertical fin vibration absorber
installation P/N 109-B810-79-101 from service. This proposed AD would
also require, within 12 months TIS after the effective date of this AD,
unless already accomplished, removing the vertical fin vibration
absorber installation P/N 109-B810-79-101 from service. This proposed
AD would also prohibit installing an affected part on any helicopter,
and would provide a terminating action for the 100 hour TIS repetitive
inspections.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    EASA AD 2019-0294 applies to certain serial-numbered Model A109S
and AW109SP helicopters, whereas this proposed AD would apply to all
serial-numbered Model A109S and AW109SP helicopters with a certain
part-numbered vertical fin vibration absorber installation installed.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this proposed AD would affect 96 helicopters
of U.S. Registry. The FAA estimates that operators may incur the
following costs in order to comply with this proposed AD. Labor costs
are estimated at $85 per work-hour.
    Removing and inspecting the vertical fin vibration absorber
installation and surrounding structure would take about 8 work-hours
for an estimated cost of $680 per helicopter per inspection cycle and
$65,280 for the U.S. fleet per inspection cycle.
    Replacing the rib assembly, shim, doubler, and bracket would take
about 16 work-hours and parts would cost about $10,000 for an estimated
cost of $11,360 per helicopter.
    According to Leonardo some of the costs of this proposed AD may be
covered under warranty, thereby reducing the cost impact on affected
individuals. The FAA does not control warranty coverage by Leonardo.
Accordingly, all costs are included in this cost estimate.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA 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, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866,
    2. Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    3. Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
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 establish Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface at Chase Field Industrial Airport, Beeville-Chase
Field, TX, in support of IFR operations at the airport.

Comments Invited

    Interested parties are invited to participate in this proposed
rulemaking by submitting such written data, views, or arguments, as
they may desire. Comments that provide the factual basis supporting the
views and suggestions presented are particularly helpful in developing

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.7-mile radius of
Chase Field Industrial Airport, Beeville-Chase Field, TX, to
accommodate new standard instrument approach procedures. This action
would enhance safety and the management of IFR operations at the
airport.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

frequent and routine amendments are necessary to keep them
operationally current, is non-controversial and unlikely to result in
adverse or negative comments. 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,
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0721; FRL-9727-5]

Finding of Substantial Inadequacy of Implementation Plan; Call
for California State Implementation Plan Revision; South Coast

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In response to a remand by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,
and pursuant to the Clean Air Act, EPA is proposing to find that the
California State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Los Angeles-South
Coast Air Basin (South Coast) is substantially inadequate to comply
with the obligation to adopt and implement a plan providing for
attainment of the 1-hour ozone standard. If EPA finalizes this proposed
finding of substantial inadequacy, California would be required to
revise its SIP to correct these deficiencies within 12 months of the
effective date of our final rule. If EPA finds that California has
failed to submit a complete SIP revision as required by a final rule or
if EPA disapproves such a revision, such finding or disapproval would
trigger clocks for mandatory sanctions and an obligation for EPA to
impose a Federal Implementation Plan. EPA is also proposing that if EPA
makes such a finding or disapproval, sanctions would apply consistent
with our regulations, such that the offset sanction would apply 18
months after such finding or disapproval and highway funding
restrictions would apply six months later unless EPA first takes action
to stay the imposition of the sanctions or to stop the sanctions clock
based on the State curing the SIP deficiencies.

I. Background

A. Regulatory Context

    The Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) requires EPA to establish national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS or ``standards'') for certain
widespread pollutants that cause or contribute to air pollution that is
reasonably anticipated to endanger public health or welfare (see
sections 108 and 109 of the CAA).
    In 1979, under section 109 of the CAA, EPA established a primary
health-based NAAQS for ozone \1\ at 0.12 parts per million (ppm)
averaged over a 1-hour period. See 44 FR 8202 (February 8, 1979). The
Act, as amended in 1990, required EPA to designate as nonattainment any
area that had been designated as nonattainment before the 1990
Amendments [section 107(d)(1)(C) of the Act; 56 FR 56694; (November 6,
1991)]. The Act further classified these areas, based on the severity
of their

nonattainment problem, as Marginal, Moderate, Serious, Severe, or
Extreme.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Ground-level ozone or smog is formed when oxides of nitrogen
(NOX), volatile organic compounds (VOC), and oxygen react
in the presence of sunlight, generally at elevated temperatures.
Strategies for reducing smog typically require reductions in both
VOC and NOX emissions. Ozone causes serious health
problems by damaging lung tissue and sensitizing the lungs to other
irritants. When inhaled, even at very low levels, ozone can cause
acute respiratory problems, aggravate asthma, temporary decreases in
lung capacity of 15 to 20 percent in healthy adults, inflammation of
lung tissue, lead to hospital admissions and emergency room visits,
and impair the body's immune system defenses, making people more
susceptible to respiratory illnesses, including bronchitis and
pneumonia.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The control requirements and date by which attainment of the 1-hour
ozone standard was to be achieved varied with an area's classification.
Marginal areas were subject to the fewest mandated control requirements
and had the earliest attainment date, November 15, 1993, while Extreme
areas were subject to the most stringent planning requirements and were
provided the most time to attain the standard, until November 15, 2010.
The various ozone planning requirements to which Extreme ozone
nonattainment areas are subject are set forth in section 172(c) and
section 182(a)-(e) of the CAA.
    In 1997, EPA replaced the 1-hour ozone standard with an 8-hour
ozone standard of 0.08 ppm. See 62 FR 38856 (July 18, 1997).\2\ We
promulgated final rules to implement the 1997 8-hour ozone standard in
two phases. The ``Phase 1'' rule, which was issued on April 30, 2004
(69 FR 23951) establishes, among other things, the classification
structure and corresponding attainment deadlines, as well as the anti-
backsliding principles for the transition from the 1-hour ozone
standard to the 8-hour ozone standard. For an area that was designated
nonattainment for the 1-hour ozone standard at the time EPA designated
it as nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard as part of the
initial 8-hour ozone designations, most of the requirements that had
applied by virtue of the area's classification for the 1-hour ozone
standard continue to apply even after revocation of the 1-hour ozone
standard (which occurred in June 2005 for most areas). See 40 CFR
51.905(a)(1) and 40 CFR 51.900(f). Thus, for example, an area that was
designated nonattainment and classified as Extreme for the 1-hour ozone
standard at the time of an initial designation of nonattainment for the
1997 8-hour standard remains subject to the requirement to have a
fully-approved attainment demonstration meeting Extreme area
requirements for the 1-hour ozone standard or an alternative as
provided under 40 CFR 51.905(a)(1)(ii). See 40 CFR 51.905(a)(1) and 40
CFR 51.900(f)(13).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ In 2008, EPA tightened the 8-hour ozone NAAQS to 0.075 ppm,
see 73 FR 16436 (March 27, 2008). Today's proposed action relates
only to SIP requirements arising from the classifications and
designations of the South Coast with respect to the 1-hour ozone and
1997 8-hour ozone standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Phase 2 rule, which was issued on November 29, 2005 (70 FR
71612), addresses the SIP obligations for the 1997 8-hour ozone
standard. Under the Phase 2 rule, an area that is designated as
nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, and classified under
subpart 2 (of part D of title I of the CAA), is subject to the
requirements of subpart 2 that apply for that classification. See 40
CFR 51.902(a).

B. South Coast Ozone Designations and Classifications and Related SIP
Revisions

    As noted above, the CAA, as amended in 1990, required EPA to
designate as nonattainment any area that was violating the 1-hour ozone
standard. The CAA also required EPA to classify nonattainment areas as
Marginal, Moderate, Serious, Severe, or Extreme depending upon the
design value of the area. On November 6, 1991, EPA designated the Los
Angeles-South Coast Air Basin Area (``South Coast'') \3\ as
nonattainment and classified it as Extreme for the 1-hour ozone
standard; thus the area had an attainment date no later than November
15, 2010 (56 FR 56694).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The South Coast includes Orange County, the southwestern
two-thirds of Los Angeles County, southwestern San Bernardino
County, and western Riverside County (see 40 CFR 81.305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has submitted a number of
SIP revisions over the years for the South Coast to address 1-hour
ozone SIP planning requirements. Specifically, in 1994, CARB submitted
a 1-hour ozone SIP that, among other things, included for the South
Coast an attainment demonstration, a ``rate of progress'' (ROP)
demonstration, and transportation control measures (TCMs). In 1997, EPA
approved the 1994 South Coast Ozone SIP as it applied to the South
Coast for the 1-hour standard. See 62 FR 1150 (January 8, 1997).
    In 1997 and 1999, CARB submitted revisions to the 1994 South Coast
1-Hour Ozone SIP, including a revised ROP demonstration and a revised
attainment demonstration (``1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP''),
which EPA approved in 2000. See 65 FR 18903 (April 10, 2000). In 2004,
CARB submitted revisions to the 1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP
(``2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP'') intended to update and replace
the State's control measure commitments in the 1997/1999 South Coast 1-
Hour Ozone SIP. See 73 FR 63408, 63410 (October 24, 2008). The revised
attainment demonstration submitted as part of the 2003 South Coast 1-
Hour Ozone SIP included updated emissions inventories showing higher
mobile source emissions than the State had previously projected and
updated modeling that indicated a lower ``carrying capacity'' in the
South Coast air basin, as well as additional commitments by CARB to
achieve specified amounts of VOC and NOX emission reductions
needed for attainment by the applicable attainment date (November 15,
2010) in light of these updated analyses. Id. at 73 FR 63410, 63416
(October 24, 2009). In 2008, however, CARB withdrew key components of
the emission reduction commitments in the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone
SIP. See 73 FR at 63410-12 (citing letter from James Goldstene,
Executive Officer, CARB, dated February 13, 2008).
    In 2009, EPA approved certain elements of the 2003 South Coast 1-
Hour Ozone SIP \4\ but disapproved the revised ROP demonstrations and
attainment demonstration in the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP, in
large part because CARB's 2008 withdrawal of key components of the
emission reduction commitments submitted in 2004 rendered the plan
insufficient to demonstrate attainment and to meet ROP milestones. 74
FR 10176, 10181 (March 10, 2009). More specifically as to the
attainment demonstration, EPA concluded that the 2003 South Coast 1-
Hour Ozone SIP did not meet the CAA section 182(c)(2)(A) requirement
for a demonstration of attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS by the
applicable attainment date because the modeled attainment demonstration
``relies upon emission reductions from [CARB's] control strategy as set
forth in the 2003 State Strategy, most of which was withdrawn by [CARB]
on February 13, 2008.'' 73 FR 63408, 63416; (October 24, 2008). EPA
also concluded that the disapproval of the attainment demonstration did
not trigger sanctions clocks or a Federal implementation plan (FIP)
obligation because the approved SIP already contained an approved 1-
hour ozone attainment demonstration meeting CAA requirements. See 74 FR
at 10177, 10181.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Among the elements EPA approved in 2009 were control
measures adopted by the California Air Resources Board, including a
control measure, referred to as ``PEST-1'' that carried forward the
existing Pesticide Element from the 1994 California 1-Hour Ozone SIP
that EPA approved in 1997, and a demonstration submitted by the
South Coast Air Quality Management District addressing the first
element of CAA section 182(d)(1)(A), referred to herein as the ``VMT
emissions offset demonstration.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, EPA initially
designated the South Coast as nonattainment and classified it as
``Severe-17,'' but later approved a request by California to reclassify
the area to ``Extreme.'' See 69 FR 23858 (April 30, 2004) and 75 FR
24409 (May 5, 2010). In 2007, CARB

submitted a SIP revision to address the Extreme 8-hour ozone SIP
planning requirements for the South Coast (``2007 South Coast 8-hour
Ozone SIP''), which EPA fully approved in March 2012. See 77 FR 12674
(March 1, 2012).

C. Litigation on EPA's 2009 Final Action on the South Coast 2003 1-Hour
Ozone SIP

    On May 8, 2009, several environmental and community groups filed a
petition for review in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
challenging EPA's March 2009 partial approval and partial disapproval
of the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP. Association of Irritated
Residents et al. v. EPA, Case Nos. 09-71383 and 09-71404. The case
centered on three main issues: (1) The consequences of EPA's final
disapproval of the attainment demonstration; (2) the necessity for
substantive review of the previously-approved 1994 Pesticide Element
brought forward in the 2003 State Strategy; and (3) EPA's
interpretation of CAA section 182(d)(1)(A), which requires SIPs for
``Severe'' or ``Extreme'' ozone nonattainment areas to include specific
transportation control strategies and transportation control measures
(TCMs) to offset any growth in emissions from growth in vehicle miles
traveled (``VMT emissions offset requirement''), and EPA's approval of
the State's demonstration of compliance with this SIP requirement.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ EPA is addressing issues 2 and 3 in
separate rulemakings. With respect to issue 2 (the
continuation of the 1994 Pesticide Element, also known as ``PEST-
1''), the EPA Region IX Regional Administrator signed a final rule
on August 14, 2012 approving certain State fumigant regulations and
a revised Pesticide Element commitment for San Joaquin Valley,
thereby responding to the remand in the Association of Irritated
Residents case. See, also, 77 FR 24441; (April 24, 2012) (proposed
rule on fumigant regulations and revised Pesticide Element for San
Joaquin Valley). With respect to issue 3 (VMT emissions
offset requirement), EPA is proposing action in a separate document
in today's Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On February 2, 2011, the Ninth Circuit ruled in favor of the
petitioners on all three issues and remanded EPA's 2009 final action on
the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP. Association of Irritated
Residents v. EPA, 632 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2011). In so doing, the court
held that EPA must promulgate a FIP under CAA section 110(c) or issue a
SIP call where EPA disapproves a new attainment demonstration unless
the Agency determines that the SIP as approved remains sufficient to
demonstrate attainment of the NAAQS. Specifically, the court rejected
EPA's argument that there is no FIP duty where the EPA had already
approved into the SIP the required plan element and the submission
disapproved was voluntarily submitted by the State to replace the
existing approved SIP element. The court briefly referenced its
analysis of the FIP provisions to conclude that the disapproval also
triggered mandatory sanctions. Id. at 591-594.
    As to the 1994 Pesticide Element, the court held that EPA had an
affirmative duty to review the substance of the element anew in light
of subsequent litigation over the Pesticide Element that revealed
approvability issues not accounted for in EPA's previous review and
approval of the element. Id. at 594-595. EPA is addressing this portion
of the court's decision in a separate rulemaking. See footnote
5 of this document.
    Finally, the court disagreed with EPA's interpretation of the VMT
emissions offset requirement and found that the plain language of the
Act requires SIPs subject to CAA section 182(d)(1)(A) to include
additional transportation control strategies and measures whenever
vehicle emissions are projected to be higher, due to growth in VMT,
than they would have been had VMT not increased, even when aggregate
vehicle emissions are actually decreasing. Id. at 595-597. EPA is
addressing this portion of the court's decision in a separate
rulemaking. See footnote 5 of this document.
    On May 5, 2011, EPA filed a petition for panel rehearing requesting
the court to reconsider its decision on the issue of whether CAA
section 179 sanctions are triggered by disapproval of a revision to an
already-approved SIP element, and on the court's interpretation of CAA
section 182(d)(1)(A).\6\ On January 27, 2012, the Ninth Circuit denied
EPA's petition for rehearing but issued an amended opinion deleting
references to the imposition of sanctions following disapproval of the
South Coast plan. The mandate in the case issued on February 13, 2012.
See Association of Irritated Residents v. EPA, 632 F.3d 584 (9th Cir.
2011), reprinted as amended on January 27, 2012, 686 F.3d 668, further
amended February 13, 2012 (``AIR v. EPA''). The decision, as amended,
states inter alia that ``EPA should have ordered California to submit a
revised attainment plan for the South Coast after it disapproved the
2003 Attainment Plan'' and remands EPA's action ``for further
proceedings consistent with [the] opinion.'' Id. at 681.

Entry 41-1, Petition for Panel Rehearing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

D. Determination of South Coast's Failure to Attain 1-Hour Ozone
Standard

    On December 30, 2011, EPA determined that the South Coast extreme
ozone nonattainment area had failed to attain the 1-hour ozone standard
by its applicable attainment date of November 15, 2010. 76 FR 82133;
(December 30, 2011). This determination was based on quality-assured
and certified ambient air quality monitoring data from 2008-2010, the
three-year period preceding the applicable attainment date. Id. EPA
made this determination pursuant to its obligation and authority under
CAA section 301(a) and the relevant portion of section 181(b)(2) to
ensure implementation of 1-hour ozone anti-backsliding contingency
measures and section 185 fee program requirements. Id. at 82145.

II. Rationale for Proposed SIP Call

    The Ninth Circuit concluded in AIR v. EPA that EPA must promulgate
a FIP under CAA section 110(c) or issue a SIP call where EPA
disapproves an attainment demonstration submitted to replace an
already-approved attainment demonstration in the SIP, unless the Agency
determines that the SIP as approved remains sufficient to demonstrate
attainment of the NAAQS. AIR v. EPA, 632 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2011), as
amended at 686 F.3d 668. Consistent with this directive and in response
to the court's conclusion that ``EPA should have ordered California to
submit a revised attainment plan for the South Coast after it
disapproved the 2003 Attainment Plan,'' id. at 681, EPA is proposing to
issue a SIP call under CAA section 110(k)(5) to require California to
submit a new attainment demonstration for the 1-hour ozone standard in
the South Coast.
    Section 110(k)(5) of the CAA states, in relevant part, as follows:

Whenever the Administrator finds that the applicable implementation
plan for an area is substantially inadequate to attain or maintain
the relevant national ambient air quality standard, * * * or to
otherwise comply with any requirement of [the Act], the
Administrator shall require the State to revise the plan as
necessary to correct such inadequacies, and may establish reasonable
deadlines (not to exceed 18 months after the date of such notice)
for the submission of such plan revisions. Such findings and notice
shall be public. Any finding under this paragraph shall, to the
extent the Administrator deems appropriate, subject the State to the
requirements of this chapter to which the State was subject when it
developed and submitted the plan for which such finding was made,
except that the Administrator may adjust any dates

applicable under such requirements as appropriate (except that the
Administrator may not adjust any attainment date prescribed under
part D of this subchapter, unless such date has elapsed).

    Our proposed SIP call is based on the evidence submitted by
California in the form of the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone Plan that
the approved 1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP was substantially
inadequate to provide for attainment of the 1-hour ozone standard by
the applicable attainment date of November 15, 2010. Two major
developments that occurred after EPA approval of the 1997/1999 South
Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP led the State of California to reconsider the
adequacy of the control strategy for attaining the 1-hour ozone
standard in the South Coast by the applicable attainment date (2010).
    First, CARB released a significant update to California's mobile
source emissions model (EMFAC2002) that resulted in significantly
higher motor vehicle emissions estimates than previously calculated,
and second, South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD)
updated its ozone modeling and concluded that the carrying capacity of
the South Coast Air Basin was significantly lower than previously
calculated. See, generally, appendix III (``Base and Future Year
Emission Inventories'') and appendix V (``Modeling and Attainment
Demonstrations'') of the SCAQMD's 2003 South Coast Air Quality
Management Plan (AQMP), August 2003.
    Together, these technical considerations prompted CARB and SCAQMD
to conclude that more control measures would be necessary than
contained in the 1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP to attain the
1-hour ozone standard by 2010. In reference to the 1997/1999 South
Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP, the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP states:
``The Plan is consistent with and builds upon the approaches taken in
the 1997 AQMP and the 1999 Amendments to the Ozone SIP for the South
Coast Air Basin for the attainment of the federal ozone air quality
standard. However, this revision points to the urgent need for
additional emission reductions (beyond those incorporated in the 1997/
99 Plan) to offset increased emission estimates from mobile sources and
meet all federal criteria pollutant standards within the time frames
allowed under the federal Clean Air Act.'' See SCAQMD, 2003 Air Quality
Management Plan,'' August 2003, pages ES-1 and ES-2.
    In 2003, EPA approved the use of EMFAC2002 for SIP development
purposes, and in 2004, EPA found the 1-hour ozone motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP to
be adequate for transportation conformity purposes. See 68 FR 15720;
(April 1, 2003) and 69 FR 15325; (March 25, 2004). Adequacy findings
for transportation conformity purposes are generally based on cursory
reviews of submitted plans, but EPA's approval of EMFAC2002 and finding
of adequacy of the MVEBs in 2003 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP show
general agreement by EPA with the technical foundation for the 2003
South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP, which highlights the inadequacy of the
attainment demonstration in the 1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone
Plan.
    In addition, in 2011, EPA determined, based on quality-assured and
certified ambient air quality monitoring data, that the South Coast
area has failed to attain the 1-hour ozone NAAQS by the applicable
attainment date of November 15, 2010. 76 FR 82133; (December 30, 2011).
EPA's 2011 determination of failure to attain the standard by the
applicable attainment date provides further support for our proposed
action because it establishes, as a factual matter, that the 1997/1999
South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP failed to achieve its stated purpose of
bringing the South Coast area into attainment of the 1-hour ozone NAAQS
by the applicable attainment date.
    In light of the evidence discussed above, we propose to find that
the approved 1997/1999 South Coast 1-Hour Ozone SIP is substantially
inadequate to provide for attainment of the 1-hour ozone standard and
is therefore substantially inadequate to comply with EPA's ``anti-
backsliding'' requirement at 40 CFR 51.905(a)(1)(i) to adopt and
implement such a plan for the South Coast.

III. Consequences of Proposed SIP Call

    EPA is proposing to require the State of California to submit,
within 12 months, a SIP revision meeting the requirements of CAA
section 182(c)(2)(A) \7\ and demonstrating attainment of the 1-hour
ozone standard in the South Coast as expeditiously as practicable but
no later than five years from the effective date of a final SIP call
unless the State can justify a later date, not to exceed 10 years
beyond the effective date of the final SIP call, by considering the
severity of the remaining nonattainment problem in the South Coast and
the availability and feasibility of pollution control measures. See CAA
section 172(a)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ Under CAA section 182(c)(2)(A), the State must submit a
revision to the SIP that includes a demonstration that the plan, as
revised, will provide for attainment of the ozone NAAQS. The
attainment demonstration must be based on photochemical grid
modeling or any other analytical method determined by the EPA to be
at least as effective.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The SIP call provisions of CAA section 110(k)(5) direct EPA, ``to
the extent [EPA] deems appropriate,'' to ``subject the State to the
requirements of this chapter to which the State was subject when it
developed and submitted the plan for which such finding was made,
except that the Administrator may adjust any dates applicable under
such requirements as appropriate (except that the Administrator may not
adjust any attainment date prescribed under part D of this subchapter,
unless such date has elapsed).'' By relying on section 172(a)(2) as the
basis for the applicable attainment date for the South Coast, we are
subjecting the State to the same CAA requirement that applied at the
time that the State developed and submitted the 1997/1999 South Coast
1-Hour Ozone SIP, because, at that time, the area was an extreme ozone
area with an attainment date of 2010 and subject to the potential for a
finding of failure to attain by the applicable attainment date under
CAA section 179(c) that would trigger a requirement under CAA section
179(d) to submit a new plan meeting the requirements of section 172.
    The 12-month deadline for submittal of a revised attainment
demonstration plan is appropriate in light of the time that has elapsed
since the AIR decision was published and the significant planning
effort that the SCAQMD has already undertaken to develop a new 1-hour
ozone attainment plan but also recognizing the potential need to
develop additional control measures, beyond those already adopted for
the purposes of the South Coast 8-hour Ozone SIP, given the geographic
extent and frequency of exceedances of the 1-hour ozone standard. See,
e.g., the 1-hour ozone summary data for 2008-2010 published at 76 FR
56694, at 56697; (September 14, 2011).
    If EPA subsequently finds that California has failed to submit a
complete SIP revision that responds to a final SIP call, CAA section
179(a) provides for EPA to issue a finding of State failure. Such a
finding starts mandatory 18-month and 24-month sanctions clocks and a
24-month clock for promulgation of a FIP by EPA. The two sanctions that
apply under CAA section 179(b) are the 2-to-1 emission offset
requirement for all new and modified major sources subject to the
nonattainment new source review program and restrictions on highway

funding. However, section 179 leaves it up to the Administrator to
decide the order in which these sanctions apply. EPA issued an order of
sanctions rule in 1994 (59 FR 39832, August 4, 1994, codified at 40 CFR
52.31) but did not specify the order of sanctions where a state fails
to submit or submits a deficient SIP in response to a SIP call.
However, the order of sanctions specified in that rule (40 CFR 52.31)
should apply here for the same reasons discussed in the preamble to
that rule.
    Thus, if EPA issues a final SIP call and California fails to submit
the required SIP revision, or submits a revision that EPA determines is
incomplete or that EPA disapproves, EPA proposes that the 2-to-1
emission offset requirement will apply for all new sources subject to
the nonattainment new source review program 18 months following such
finding or disapproval unless the State corrects the deficiency before
that date. EPA proposes that the highway funding restrictions sanction
will also apply 24 months following such finding or disapproval unless
the State corrects the deficiency before that date. EPA is also
proposing that the provisions in 40 CFR 52.31 regarding staying the
sanctions clock and deferring the imposition of sanctions would apply.
    In addition, CAA section 110(c) obligates EPA to promulgate a FIP
addressing the deficiency that is the basis for a finding of failure to
submit or a disapproval within two years after the effective date of
such finding or disapproval, unless EPA has approved a revised SIP
correcting the deficiency before that date.

IV. Proposed Action and Request for Public Comment

    EPA is proposing to find, pursuant to section 110(k)(5) of the CAA,
that the California SIP is substantially inadequate to comply with the
obligation to adopt and implement a plan providing for attainment of
the one-hour ozone NAAQS in the South Coast. If EPA finalizes this
proposal, California will be required to submit a SIP revision
correcting the deficiency within 12 months of the effective date of
EPA's final rule.
    We will accept comments on this proposal for 30 days following
publication of this proposed rule in the Federal Register. We will
consider all submitted comments in our final rulemaking.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, a finding of substantial inadequacy and
subsequent obligation for a State to revise its SIP arise out of
section 110(a) and 110(k)(5). The finding and State obligation do not
directly impose any new regulatory requirements. In addition, the State
obligation is not legally enforceable by a court of law. EPA would
review its intended action on any SIP submittal in response to the
finding in light of applicable statutory and Executive Order
requirements, in subsequent rulemaking acting on such SIP submittal.
For those reasons, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have Tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
finding of SIP inadequacy would not apply in Indian country located in
the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002]

Changes in Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final Notice.

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

SUMMARY: New or modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations
(BFEs), base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) boundaries
or zone designations, and/or the regulatory floodway (hereinafter
referred to as flood hazard determinations) as shown on the indicated
Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) for each of the communities listed in the
table below are finalized. Each LOMR revises the Flood Insurance Rate
Maps (FIRMs), and in some cases the Flood Insurance Study (FIS)
reports, currently in effect for the listed communities. The flood
hazard determinations modified by each LOMR will be used to calculate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and their contents.

DATES: The effective date for each LOMR is indicated in the table
below.

ADDRESSES: Each LOMR is available for inspection at both the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the table below and online
through the FEMA Map Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
FEMA, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or
(email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final flood hazard determinations as shown in the
LOMRs for each community listed in the table below. Notice of these
modified flood hazard determinations has been published in newspapers
of local circulation and ninety (90) days have elapsed since that
publication. The Deputy Associate Administrator for Mitigation has
resolved any appeals resulting from this notification.
    The modified flood hazard determinations are made pursuant to
section 206 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4105, and are in accordance with the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq., and with 44 CFR part 65.
    For rating purposes, the currently effective community number is
shown and must be used for all new policies and renewals.
    The new or modified flood hazard determinations are the basis for
the

floodplain management measures that the community is required either to
adopt or to show evidence of being already in effect in order to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These new or modified flood hazard determinations, together with
the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the
minimum that are required. They should not be construed to mean that
the community must change any existing ordinances that are more
stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community
may at any time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to
policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities.
    These new or modified flood hazard determinations are used to meet
the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to
calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new
buildings, and for the contents in those buildings. The changes in
flood hazard determinations are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    Interested lessees and owners of real property are encouraged to
review the final flood hazard information available at the address
cited below for each community or online through the FEMA Map Service
Center at www.msc.fema.gov.
