ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OGC-2023-0243; FRL-10914-01-OGC]

Proposed Settlement Agreement, Clean Water Act and Administrative
Procedure Act Claims

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement agreement; request for public
comment.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the EPA Administrator's March 18, 2022,
memorandum regarding ``Consent Decrees and Settlement Agreements to
resolve Environmental Claims Against the Agency,'' notice is hereby
given of a proposed settlement agreement that would resolve Chesapeake
Bay Foundation, Inc. et al. v. U.S. EPA et al., No. 1:20-cv-2529
(D.D.C.). On September 10, 2020, four states--Maryland, Virginia,
Delaware, and the District of Columbia--and a number of non-state
plaintiffs including the Chesapeake Bay Foundation (``CBF'') and Anne
Arundel County (``Plaintiffs'') filed complaints in the U.S. District
Court for the District of Columbia. The Plaintiffs asserted that EPA
has a mandatory duty under the Clean Water Act (``CWA'') to ensure that
the goals of the Chesapeake Bay Agreement are met, and that EPA failed
to perform that duty. Plaintiffs also asserted that EPA's evaluation of
Pennsylvania's 2019 plan for implementing the Chesapeake Bay TMDL was
arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure
Act (``APA''). EPA seeks public input on a proposed settlement
agreement prior to its final decision-making with regard to potential
settlement of the litigation.

DATES: Written comments on the proposed settlement agreement must be
received by May 22, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OGC-2023-0243 online at https://www.regulations.gov (EPA's preferred
method). Follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
    Instructions: All submissions received must include the Docket ID
number for this action. Comments received may be posted without change
to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided. For detailed instructions on sending comments, see the
``Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement
Agreement'' heading under the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this
document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    The Chesapeake Bay Program (CBP) partnership collaborates to
restore the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay, primarily through a
series of Chesapeake Bay Agreements. The CBP partnership includes the
states in the Chesapeake Bay watershed--Delaware, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, and the District of
Columbia--the Federal government led by EPA, and numerous other
stakeholders. The CBP partnership agreed upon a goal of having all
practices and controls installed by 2025 to achieve the Bay's dissolved
oxygen, water clarity/submerged aquatic vegetation and chlorophyll-a
water quality standards (2025 Goal). The 2025 Goal is reflected in the
latest Chesapeake Bay Agreement. In 2010, in collaboration with the Bay
states, EPA established a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for the
entire Chesapeake Bay watershed for nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment
to address the aquatic life use impairments of tidal Bay waters and
tidal tributaries. In 2019, the Bay states submitted their latest plans
for implementing the Bay TMDL to EPA for evaluation. EPA's evaluation
of Pennsylvania's plan concluded that, while the state plan would meet
its numeric planning target for phosphorus, it would not meet its
target for nitrogen by 2025. In 2022, Pennsylvania submitted an amended
plan to EPA for evaluation, which EPA found still did not meet the
state's nutrient goals.
    On September 10, 2020, the Plaintiffs filed complaints, later
consolidated, against EPA in the U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia. The parties have negotiated this proposed settlement
agreement. EPA would agree in the proposed settlement agreement to take
a number of steps regarding EPA oversight and funding of Pennsylvania's
efforts under its CWA programs to reduce nutrient and sediment
discharges within Pennsylvania's portion of the Bay watershed. EPA
would also agree to evaluate by the end of 2026 how each Bay state
fared in meeting the 2025 Goal.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, EPA will accept written comments relating to the
proposed settlement agreement from persons who are not parties to the
litigation. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold
consent to the proposed settlement agreement if the comments received
disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is
inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Clean Water Act or Administrative Procedure Act.

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Hillsdale, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface at Hillsdale Municipal Airport, Hillsdale,

information for the instrument procedures at this airport, as part of
the VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) Program. The geographic
coordinates of this airport are also updated to coincide with the FAA's
aeronautical database.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, February 28, 2019. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Hillsdale Municipal Airport, Hillsdale, MI, to support
instrument flight rules operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (83 FR 31708; July 9, 2018) for Docket No. FAA-2018-0500 to
amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Hillsdale Municipal Airport, Hillsdale, MI. Interested parties were
invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written
comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    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 designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends 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 Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface to within a 6.5-mile radius (increased from a 6.4-
mile radius) at Hillsdale Municipal Airport, Hillsdale, MI. The
geographic coordinates of the airport are also updated to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review caused by the
decommissioning of the Jackson and Litchfield VORs, which provided
navigation information for the instrument procedures at this airport,
as part of the VOR MON Program.

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 only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2005-21613]

Petition for Extension of Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on April 8, 2021, the
Association of American Railroads (AAR), on behalf of itself and its
member railroads, petitioned the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
for an extension of a waiver of compliance from certain provisions of
the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49 CFR part 229,
Railroad Locomotive Safety Standards. The relevant FRA Docket Number is
FRA-2005-21613.
    Specifically, AAR requests an extension of the relief granted from
49 CFR 229.29, Air brake system calibration, maintenance, and testing,
applicable to New York Air Brake CCB-1, CCB-2, and CCB-26; Wabtec
Railway Electronics EPIC-3102D2 and EPIC-2; and FastBrake electronic
air brake systems, for the extension of time intervals for level two
and level three locomotive air brake system maintenance. AAR states
that throughout the history of this waiver, several test committees,
made up of representatives from industry, labor, and FRA, were formed
to study air brake systems. AAR notes that FRA may propose codifying
provisions of this waiver in the future. Additionally, AAR requests
that FRA grant a unified extension to all AAR member railroads that are
currently participating in this waiver.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
