SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand has issued New Zealand
AD DCA/FBA/4, effective December 6, 2018 (referred to after this as the
Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to
correct an unsafe condition for all Pacific Aerospace Ltd. Model FBA-
2C1, FBA-2C2, FBA-2C3, and FBA-2C4 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During a visual inspection corrosion was found in the external
surface of a push-pull rod on a FBA-2C1 aircraft in operation
overseas. Further investigation revealed severe corrosion in the
internal surface of the elevator push-pull rod. To ensure the
integrity of the elevator push-pull rod assembly DCA/FBA/4 is issued
to mandate the instructions in Pacific Aerospace Service Bulletin
(SB) PACSB/2C/001 issue 1, dated 25 September 2018.

    The unsafe condition is failure of the elevator push-pull rod due
to corrosion in the internal surface, which could result in loss of
elevator control. Although the unsafe condition was found on a Model
FBA-2C1 airplane, we have determined that the design of the push-pull
rod assembly is similar on Model FBA-2C2, FBA-2C3, and FBA-2C4
airplanes; therefore, the unsafe condition may exist on those airplane
models as well. You may examine the

MCAI on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating Docket No. FAA-2019-0047.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Pacific Aerospace Ltd. has issued Service Bulletin PACSB/2C/001,
Issue 1, dated September 25, 2018. This service information describes
the following procedures:
     A borescopic inspection for corrosion of the internal
surface of the elevator push-pull rod assembly, and replacement of any
push-pull rod assembly that has interior corrosion.
     an inspection for corrosion of the exterior of any
elevator push-pull rod assembly with no internal corrosion, and
corrective actions including removal of light corrosion and replacement
of any elevator push-pull rod assembly that has moderate to severe
corrosion.
     other applicable specified actions including application
of lubricant and corrosion-inhibiting compound.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    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 issuing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in the service
information described previously.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because failure of the elevator push-pull rod assembly in flight could
result in loss of elevator control and loss of control of the airplane.
Therefore, we find good cause that notice and opportunity for prior
public comment are impracticable. In addition, for the reasons stated
above, we find that good cause exists for making this amendment
effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2019-0047; Product
Identifier 2018-CE-062-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD based on
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 work-hour x $85 per hour = $85.............................              $0              $85             $255
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on replacement
will take 2 work-hours and require parts costing $272, for a cost of
$442 per product. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft
that might need this on-condition action.
    Since corrosion may affect the parts subject to inspection
differently, and the severity of the corrosion on the part will affect
the time necessary to correct the condition, we have no way to
determine an overall cost per product for removing the corrosion.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Director of the Policy and Innovation Division. Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;

    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2020-0069; FRL-10008-02-Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; Georgia: Air Quality Control, VOC Definition

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the
State of Georgia through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division
on October 18, 2019. This revision modifies the State's air quality
regulations as incorporated into the SIP by changing the definition of
``volatile organic compound'' (VOC) to be consistent with federal
regulations. EPA is proposing to approve this SIP revision because the
State has demonstrated that these changes are consistent with the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 1, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-
OAR-2020-0069 at www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions
for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or
removed from Regulations.gov. EPA may publish any comment received to
its public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment
policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general
guidance on making effective comments, please visit www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA is proposing to approve the change to the Georgia SIP submitted
by the State of Georgia through a letter dated October 18, 2019 \1\
that revises the definition of ``volatile organic compound'' at
subparagraph (llll) of Rule 391-3-1-.01--``Definitions'' by adding cis-
1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobut-2-ene (HFO-1336mzz-Z) to the list of organic
compounds having negligible photochemical reactivity.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA received Georgia's SIP revision on October 24, 2019.
    \2\ On October 18, 2019, Georgia submitted other SIP revisions
which will be addressed in separate actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Analysis of State Submission

    Tropospheric ozone, commonly known as smog, occurs when VOC and
nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the atmosphere in the
presence of sunlight. Because of the harmful health effects of ozone,
EPA and state governments implement rules to limit the amount of
certain VOC and NOX that can be released into the
atmosphere. VOC have different levels of reactivity; they do not react
at the same speed or form ozone to the same extent. The CAA requires
the regulation of VOC for various purposes. Section 302(s) of the CAA
specifies that EPA has the authority to define the meaning of ``VOC''
under the Act and, hence, what compounds shall be treated as VOC for
regulatory purposes.
    EPA determines whether a given carbon compound has ``negligible''
reactivity by comparing the compound's reactivity to the reactivity of
ethane. It is EPA's policy that compounds of carbon with negligible
reactivity be excluded from the regulatory definition of VOC. See 42 FR
35314 (July 8, 1977), 70 FR 54046 (September 13, 2005). EPA lists these
compounds in its regulations at 40 CFR 51.100(s) and excludes them from
the definition of VOC. The chemicals on this list are often called
``negligibly reactive.'' EPA may periodically revise the list of
negligibly reactive compounds to add or delete compounds. Georgia
submitted this SIP revision in response to EPA adding cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-
hexafluorobut-2-ene to the exclusion list at 40 CFR 51.100(s). See 83
FR 61127 (January 28, 2019). EPA proposes to find that this change to
the SIP will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any
national ambient air quality standard, reasonable further progress, or
any other applicable requirement of the CAA, consistent with CAA
section 110(l), because EPA has found this chemical to be negligibly
reactive.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference Georgia Rule 391-3-1-.01--``Definitions,'' Subparagraph
(llll)--``Volatile organic compound,'' state-effective September 26,
2019, to revise this definition by adding cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-
hexafluorobut-2-ene (HFO-1336mzz-Z) to the list of organic compounds
having negligible photochemical reactivity. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 office (please contact the
person identified in the For Further Information Contact section of
this preamble for more information).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve Georgia's October 18, 2019 SIP
submission that revises the definition of ``volatile organic compound''
at Rule 391-3-1-

.01(llll) to be consistent with federal regulations and CAA
requirements.

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 Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 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. This action merely
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, this proposed 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 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011;
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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 1955 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in the
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 CAA; 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). The SIP is not
approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or 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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC is requesting comments on the FERC-
914,\1\ ``Cogeneration and Small Power Production--Tariff Filings'',
OMB Control No. 1902-0231. The information filed in FERC-914 enables
the Commission to exercise its wholesale electric rate and electric
power transmission oversight and enforcement responsibilities in
accordance with the Federal Power Act, the Department of Energy
Organization Act (DOE Act) and EPAct 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Normally, these requirements and burden would be included in
FERC-516, ``Electric Rate Schedule Filings'' (OMB Control No.1902-
0096). However, FERC-516 is currently the subject of OMB review, so
the Commission will continue to track these requirements (and the
related burden hours) separately under FERC-914 [formerly labeled
``FERC-914(516)'']. FERC-914 covers the tariff filing requirements
under 18 CFR Part 35 for those qualifying facilities that do not
meet the exemption requirements in 18 CFR Part 292.
    In the future, FERC plans to incorporate the FERC-914 reporting
requirements and related burden into the FERC-516.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Orders 671 and 671-A,\2\ the Commission revised its regulations
that govern qualifying small power production and cogeneration
facilities. Among other things, the Commission eliminated certain
exemptions from rate regulation that were previously available to
qualifying facilities (QFs). New qualifying facilities may need to make
tariff filings if they do not meet the new exemption requirements of 18
CFR Part 292.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Revised Regulations Governing Small Power Production and
Cogeneration Facilities, Order No. 671, 71 FR 7852 (Feb. 15, 2006),
FERC Stats. & Regs. ] 31,203 (2006); and Revised Regulations
Governing Small Power Production and Cogeneration Facilities, Order
671-A, 71 FR 30585 (May 30, 2006), in Docket No. RM05-36.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 205(c) of the FPA requires that every public utility have
all of its jurisdictional rates and tariffs on file with the Commission
and make them available for public inspection, within such time and in
such form as the Commission may designate. Section 205(d) of the FPA
requires that every public utility must provide notice to FERC and the
public of any changes to its jurisdictional rates and tariffs, file
such changes with FERC, and make them available for public inspection,
in such manner as directed by the Commission. In addition, FPA section
206 requires FERC, upon complaint or its own motion, to modify existing
rates or services that are found to be unjust, unreasonable, unduly
discriminatory or preferential. FPA section 207 further requires the
Commission upon complaint by a state commission and a finding of
insufficient interstate service, to order the rendering of adequate
interstate service by public utilities, the rates for which would be
filed in accordance with FPA sections 205 and 206.
    FERC implemented the Congressional mandate of EPAct 2005 to
establish criteria for new qualifying cogeneration facilities by: (1)
Amending the exemptions available to qualifying facilities from the FPA
and from PUHCA [resulting in the burden imposed by FERC-914, the
subject of this Notice]; (2) ensuring that these facilities are using
their thermal output in a productive and beneficial manner; that the
electrical, thermal, chemical and mechanical output of new qualifying
cogeneration facilities is used fundamentally for industrial,
commercial, residential or industrial purposes; and there is a
continuing progress in the development of efficient electric energy
generating technology; (3) amending the FERC Form 556 \3\ to reflect
the criteria for new qualifying cogeneration facilities; and (4)
eliminating ownership limitations for qualifying cogeneration and small
power production facilities. FERC satisfied the statutory mandate and
its continuing obligation to review its policies encouraging
cogeneration and small power production, energy conservation, efficient
use of facilities and resources by electric utilities and equitable
rates for energy customers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The FERC-556 is cleared separately as OMB Control No. 1902-
0075 and is not a subject of this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date for the FERC-914,\1\ with no changes to the
reporting requirements.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection is
estimated at:

    The estimated total annual cost to respondents is $2,676,966.10
[43,400 hours divided by 2,080 hours \4\ per year, times $128,297 \5\
equals $2,676,966.10]. The cost per respondent is $26,769.66. The
estimated burden covers the qualifying facilities required to file
electric quarterly reports, change of status filings, and tariff
filings to comply with section 205 of the Federal Power Act (FPA).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Number of hours an employee works each year.
    \5\ Average annual salary per employee.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information;

(3) adjusting the existing ways to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements; (4) training personnel to
respond to a collection of information; (5) searching data sources; (6)
completing and reviewing the collection of information; and (7)
transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed 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 of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2012-0797; FRL-9755-1]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Allegheny County Incorporation by Reference of
Pennsylvania's Consumer Products Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The SIP
revision adds section 2105.88--Consumer Products to Allegheny County
Health Department (ACHD) Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air
Pollution Control, to incorporate by reference 25 Pa. Code sections
130.201-130.471 (Consumer Products) of PADEP's Air Pollution Control
Act to reduce emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC). In the
Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
Commonwealth's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial submittal and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule
will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by December 31, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2012-0797 by one of the following methods:
    A. www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.

be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or email. The
www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which
means EPA will not know your identity or contact information unless you
provide it in the body of your comment. If you send an email comment
directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or
in hard copy during normal business hours at the Air Protection
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch
