DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2013-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1315]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before August 14, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1315, to
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>
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: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed 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 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 built after
the FIRM and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at http://floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_fact_sheet.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location and
the respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of PRA, EPA specifically solicits
comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply
to?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are
companies that manufacture, process or import, use, distribute or
dispose of one or more specified chemical substances.
    Title: TSCA Section 4 Test Rules, Consent Orders, Test Rule
Exemptions, and Voluntary Data Submission.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1139.09, OMB Control No. 2070-0033.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January
31, 2012. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after
appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR
part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or
by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers
for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 4 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) is
designed to assure that chemicals that may pose serious risks to human
health or the environment undergo testing by manufacturers or
processors and that the results of such testing are made available to
EPA. EPA uses the information collected under the authority of TSCA
section 4 to assess risks associated with the manufacture, processing,
distribution, use or disposal of a chemical, and to support any
necessary regulatory action with respect to that chemical.
    EPA must assure that appropriate tests are performed on a chemical
if it decides: (1) That a chemical being considered under TSCA section
4(a) may pose an ``unreasonable risk'' or is produced in
``substantial'' quantities that may result in substantial or
significant human exposure or substantial environmental release of the
chemical; (2) that additional data are needed to determine or predict
the impacts of the chemical's manufacture, processing, distribution,
use or disposal; and (3) that testing is needed to develop such data.
Rules and consent orders under TSCA section 4 require that one
manufacturer or processor of a subject chemical perform the specified
testing and report the results of that testing to EPA. TSCA section 4
also allows a manufacturer or processor of a subject chemical to apply
for an exemption from the testing requirement if that testing will be
or has been performed by another party. This information collection
applies to reporting and recordkeeping activities associated with the
information that EPA requires industry to provide in response to TSCA
section 4 test rules, consent orders, test rule exemptions and other
data submissions.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40
CFR part 790). Respondents may claim all or part of a document
confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim
of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance
with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about
224 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 1.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
174.7.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 39,233 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $2,206,175. This includes an
estimated burden cost of $2,206,175 and an estimated cost of $0 for
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

IV. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 112,729 hours (from 151,962 hours to 39,233
hours) in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that
identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects
a decrease in the

estimated number of items to be received from respondents, based on the
Agency's recent experience. This change is an adjustment.

V. What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

Notice of Availability, Notice of Industry Day Meeting, and
Request for Comment on the Draft Engineering Brief 105 for Vertiport
Design

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

ACTION: Notice of availability, notice of industry day meeting, and
request for comment.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA's Office of Airports is announcing the availability of
and requesting comments on the draft Engineering Brief (EB) 105 for
Vertiport Design. This draft EB provides interim safety standards for
aviation facilities that electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL)
type aircraft utilize for take-off and landing. These types of aviation
facilities are commonly referred to as `vertiports'. Draft EB 105 is
posted on the FAA website at: https://www.faa.gov/airports/engineering/engineering_briefs/drafts/. A comment matrix is also posted at this
website for members of the public to utilize to submit written
comments.

DATES:  Comments on the draft EB 105 for Vertiport Design must be
received on or before April 18, 2022.
    The FAA will hold a virtual industry day meeting on the draft EB
105 on March 29, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. ET.

ADDRESSES: Please submit comments or questions regarding the draft EB
105 by email to the Federal Aviation Administration at
[email protected].

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Robert Bassey, Office of Airports,
Federal Aviation Administration, 800 Independence Ave. SW, Washington,
DC 20591, phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA developed draft EB 105 to provide
interim safety standards for the design and operation of aviation
facilities that electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) type
aircraft utilize for take-off and landing. These take-off and landing
facilities for eVTOL aircraft are commonly referred to as 'vertiports'.
The agency is aware of a variety of eVTOL aircraft designs currently
under development within the aviation industry. These new types of
eVTOL aircraft, as well as vertiports utilized by these aircraft, are
often referred to as components of a new and emerging sector of the
aviation system known as Advanced Air Mobility (AAM). For additional
general information on AAM, see: https://www.faa.gov/uas/advanced_operations/urban_air_mobility/ and https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_partnerships/advanced_aviation_advisory_committee/.
    The draft EB is based on research conducted by the FAA on the
performance characteristics of various aircraft designs, currently
under development, that will utilize vertiport facilities. The draft
guidance contains a discussion of a composite aircraft (or reference
aircraft), and the recommended safety standards contained in the draft
guidance are only applicable to vertiports used by this composite
aircraft or by any aircraft within the range of performance
characteristics as this composite aircraft. The draft safety standards
are not applicable for vertiport facilities that will be utilized by
other types of aircraft outside the performance characteristics of this
composite aircraft.
    The FAA will hold a virtual industry day meeting on the draft EB
105 on March 29, 2022 at 11:00 a.m. ET. During this meeting, the FAA
will provide an overview of the draft EB 105, discuss some critical
aspects of the draft currently under consideration and provide an
opportunity for attendees to ask questions about it. Interested parties
who wish to participate in the industry day meeting will need to
register and can access information on how to register on the web page
where the draft EB is posted. Requests for accommodations to a
disability must be received by March 18, 2022.
    The FAA is seeking public comments on the draft EB for Vertiport
Design to help inform the development of the final EB. The draft EB is
posted on the FAA website at: https://www.faa.gov/airports/engineering/engineering_briefs/drafts/.
    Members of the public should utilize the comments matrix provided
at the above website to submit comments on the draft EB. Completed
comment matrices should be submitted to the email address listed in the
ADDRESSES section. The FAA will not accept comments during the industry
day meeting.
    The FAA would like to publish a final EB 105 for Vertiport Design
later this year, following the adjudication of comments received during
the public comment period. The FAA may update this EB as necessary to
reflect the continuing development of eVTOL aircraft and as the agency
learns more about these new types of aircraft. Additionally, the FAA
intends to publish a new Advisory Circular (AC) on Vertiport Design in
the future to provide additional guidance in this area. The FAA
cancelled the previous Vertiport Design AC (AC 150/5390-3) in 2010 due
to a lack of compatible aircraft use. See: https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/advisory_circulars/index.cfm/go/document.information/documentID/23096.
