Airworthiness Directives; Embraer S.A. Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Embraer S.A. (Embraer) Model EMB-505 airplanes. This AD was
prompted by occurrences of an uncommanded change in the setting of the
barometric pressure in both primary flight displays (PFDs). This AD
requires installing a new version of the airplane avionics system
software, as specified in an Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de
Avia[ccedil][atilde]o Civil (ANAC) AD, which is incorporated by
reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective December 11, 2023.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of December 11,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Embraer Model
EMB-505 airplanes. The NPRM published in the Federal Register on August
14, 2023 (88 FR 54941). The NPRM was prompted by AD 2023-04-01,
effective April 4, 2023, issued by ANAC, which is the aviation
authority for Brazil (ANAC AD 2023-04-01) (also referred to as the
MCAI), to correct an unsafe condition for Embraer Model EMB-505
airplanes equipped with the Garmin G3000 avionics system. The MCAI
states that there have been occurrences of uncommanded change in the
setting of the barometric pressure in both PFDs resulting in erroneous
altitude information. Erroneous altitude information on both PFDs could
result in altitude mismanagement or spatial disorientation of the
flight crew.
    In the NPRM, the FAA proposed to require installing a new version
of the airplane avionics system software, as specified in ANAC AD 2023-
04-01. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the uncommanded change in
the setting of the barometric pressure in both PFDs, which could
consequently lead to a deviation from the intended altitude and loss of
control of the airplane, risk of air collision due to inadequate air
traffic separation, or risk of controlled flight into terrain.
    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at regulations.gov under
Docket No. FAA-2023-1708.

Discussion of Final Airworthiness Directive

Comments

    The FAA received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the costs.

Conclusion

    These products have been approved by the aviation authority of
another country and are approved for operation in the United States.
Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design
Authority, it has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in
the MCAI referenced above. The FAA reviewed the relevant data and
determined that air safety requires adopting this AD as proposed.
Accordingly, the FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products. Except for minor editorial changes, this AD is
adopted as proposed in the NPRM.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    ANAC AD 2023-04-01 specifies procedures for installing Garmin G3000
avionics system software updates.
    This material is reasonably available because the interested
parties have access to it through their normal course of business or by
the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI

    ANAC AD 2023-04-01 requires installing the software update in
accordance with the service information specified in ANAC AD 2023-04-
01, and this AD does not require using that service information to
install the software update.
    Paragraph (c) of ANAC AD 2023-04-01 provides credit for performing
previous actions using previous revisions of the service information
specified in ANAC AD 2023-04-01. Paragraph (d) of ANAC AD 2023-04-01
provides procedures for obtaining an alternative method of compliance.
Paragraph (e) of ANAC AD 2023-04-01 requires using the service
information specified in ANAC AD 2023-04-01, or future revisions
approved by ANAC, to do the software update. This AD does not require
compliance with paragraphs (c) through (e) of ANAC AD 2023-04-01.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 183 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
               Action                        Labor cost           Parts cost        product         operators

                                       hour = $680.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, all of the costs associated
with the software update may be covered under warranty.

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

    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) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) 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.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP11-524-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on July 29, 2011, Texas Eastern Transmission, LP
(Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056-5310,
filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) an
application under section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) for
authorization to abandon in place four reciprocating compressor units
with a total of 4,400 horsepower and related appurtenances at Station
No. 21-A of its Uniontown Compressor Station located in Fayette County,
Pennsylvania. Texas Eastern states that there will be no termination or
reduction in service to any existing customers of Texas Eastern as a
result of the proposed abandonment of these facilities, all as more
fully set forth in the application which is on file with the Commission
and open to public inspection. This filing is available for review at
the Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or
TTY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Lisa
A. Connolly, General Manager, Rates & Certificates, Texas Eastern
Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251-1642, or
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, or fax<PHONE_NUMBER> or by e-mail
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding; or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other

milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule for
Environmental Review will serve to notify Federal and state agencies of
the timing for the completion of all necessary reviews, and the
subsequent need to complete all Federal authorizations within 90 days
of the date of issuance of the Commission staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit seven copies of filings made in the proceeding with the
Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant and to every other
party. Only parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of
Commission orders in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commentors will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commentors will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commentors will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and seven copies of the protest or intervention to
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE.,
Washington, DC 20426.
    Comment Date: August 26, 2011.

    Dated: August 5, 2011.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

44 CFR Part 65

[Docket ID FEMA-2012-0003]

Changes in Flood Elevation Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: Modified Base (1% annual-chance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) are
finalized for the communities listed below. These modified BFEs will be
used to calculate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings and
their contents.

DATES: The effective dates for these modified BFEs are indicated on the
following table and revise the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) in
effect for the listed communities prior to this date.

ADDRESSES: The modified BFEs for each community are available for
inspection at the office of the Chief Executive Officer of each
community. The respective addresses are listed in the table below.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Luis Rodriguez, Chief, Engineering
Management Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration,
Federal Emergency Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) makes the final determinations listed below of the modified BFEs
for each community listed. These modified BFEs have 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 BFEs are not listed for each community in this notice.
However, this final rule includes the

address of the Chief Executive Officer of the community where the
modified BFE determinations are available for inspection.
    The modified BFEs 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 modified BFEs 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 qualify or to remain
qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP).
    These modified BFEs, 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 modified BFEs 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 these
elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. The
changes in BFEs are in accordance with 44 CFR 65.4.
    National Environmental Policy Act. This final rule is categorically
excluded from the requirements of 44 CFR part 10, Environmental
Consideration. An environmental impact assessment has not been
prepared.
    Regulatory Flexibility Act. As flood elevation determinations are
not within the scope of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601-
612, a regulatory flexibility analysis is not required.
    Regulatory Classification. This final rule is not a significant
regulatory action under the criteria of section 3(f) of Executive Order
12866 of September 30, 1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 58 FR
51735.
    Executive Order 13132, Federalism. This final rule involves no
policies that have federalism implications under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism.
    Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform. This final rule meets
the applicable standards of Executive Order 12988.

Delegation of Authority to the State of Maryland To Implement and
Enforce Additional or Revised National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants and New Source Performance Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of delegation of authority.

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

SUMMARY: On April 16, 2012, EPA sent the State of Maryland (Maryland) a
letter acknowledging that Maryland's delegation of authority to
implement and enforce National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) had
been updated, as provided for under previously approved delegation
mechanisms. To inform regulated facilities and the public of Maryland's
updated delegation of authority to implement and enforce NESHAP and
NSPS, EPA is making available a copy of EPA's letter to Maryland
through this notice.

DATES: On April 16, 2012, EPA sent Maryland a letter acknowledging that
Maryland's delegation of authority to implement and enforce NESHAP and
NSPS had been updated.

ADDRESSES: Copies of documents pertaining to this action are available
for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III,
1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103-2029. Copies of
Maryland's submittal are also available at the Maryland Department of
the Environment, 1800 Washington Boulevard, Suite 705, Baltimore,
Maryland 21230. Copies of Maryland's notice to EPA that Maryland has
updated its incorporation by reference of Federal NESHAP and NSPS, and
of EPA's response, may also be found posted on EPA Region III's Web
site at: http://www.epa.gov/reg3artd/airregulations/delegate/mddelegation.htm.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ray Chalmers,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 7, 2012, Maryland notified EPA that
Maryland has updated its incorporation by reference of Federal NESHAP
under 40 CFR part 63 and NSPS under 40 CFR part 60 to include all
current and future standards. On April 16, 2012, EPA sent

Maryland a letter acknowledging that Maryland now has the authority to
implement and enforce the NESHAP and NSPS as specified by Maryland in
its notice to EPA, as provided for under previously approved automatic
delegation mechanisms. All notifications, applications, reports and
other correspondence required pursuant to the delegated NESHAP and NSPS
must be submitted to both the US EPA Region III and to the Maryland
Department of Environment. A copy of EPA's letter to Maryland follows:

``Mr. George S. Aburn, Jr.
Director, Air and Radiation Management Administration
Maryland Department of the Environment
1800 Washington Boulevard
Baltimore, Maryland 21230

Dear Mr. Aburn:

    Thank you for your letter of March 7, 2012 informing the United
States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that the State of Maryland
(Maryland) has acted to obtain updates of its existing delegations of
authority to implement and enforce federal National Emissions Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) and New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS).
    As you know, EPA's previous delegations to Maryland of the
authority to implement and enforce various NESHAP found at 40 CFR parts
61 and 63 and of various NSPS found at 40 CFR part 60 provide that
Maryland may obtain automatic delegation of authority to implement and
enforce updated or additional NESHAP and NSPS.\1\ For Maryland to
obtain automatic delegation of additional standards, the primary
requirement is that Maryland must have included the updated or
additional standards by reference into Maryland's regulations. In some
cases Maryland must also have provided notice to EPA and/or committed
to enforcing the standards in accordance with the provisions of the
applicable previous EPA delegation(s) of authority to Maryland.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA has posted copies of these delegation actions at: http://www.epa.gov/reg3artd/airregulations/delegate/mddelegation.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In your letter you notify EPA that Maryland has ``acted to obtain
updates to its delegations of authority to implement and enforce NESHAP
and NSPS to include all current and future:
     NESHAP under 40 CFR Part 63; and
     NSPS under 40 CFR Part 60.''
    You note that the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) specifies
Maryland's requirements pertaining to control of NESHAP and NSPS
sources. You state that ``[i]n accordance with COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>,
NESHAP sources in Maryland may not be constructed, modified, or
operated in any way which will result in violation of any provisions of
40 CFR Part 63.'' You also note that ``[i]n accordance with COMAR
<IP_ADDRESS>, NSPS sources in Maryland may not be constructed, modified,
or operated in any way which will result in violation of any provisions
of 40 CFR Part 60.''
    You explain that Maryland has updated the COMAR to specify that
Maryland has adopted all current and future NESHAP found at 40 CFR part
63 and NSPS found at 40 CFR part 60 by reference. You further explain
that Maryland accomplished this by updating its definitions of a NESHAP
source, found at COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(21), and its definition of a NSPS
source, found at COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(23). You state that Maryland
intends to implement all delegated current and future NESHAP found at
40 CFR part 63 and NSPS found at 40 CFR part 60 in conformance with the
terms of the applicable previous EPA delegations of authority to
Maryland.
    You provided EPA with copies of notices Maryland published in the
Maryland Register proposing and finalizing the revised COMAR
definitions of a NESHAP source and of a NSPS source.
    EPA notes that the final action notice which Maryland provided,
dated February 24, 2012, confirms Maryland's revision of Title 26,
Department of the Environment, Subtitle 11, Air Quality to adopt the
revised definitions. The notice states that:
    ``On February 9, 2012, the Secretary of the Environment adopted
amendments to:
    (1) Regulation .01 under COMAR 26.11.01--General Administrative
Provisions; and
    (2) Regulation .12 under COMAR 26.11.06--General Emission
Standards, Prohibitions, and Restrictions.
    This action, which was proposed for adoption in 38:25 Md. R. 1647-
1648 (December 2, 2011) has been adopted as proposed.
    Effective Date: March 5, 2012.''
    EPA further notes that the proposed action notice which Maryland
provided, dated December 2, 2011, specifies Maryland's proposed updates
to the NESHAP source and NSPS source definitions.
    Maryland states in the proposed action notice that it is proposing
to revise Regulation .01 under COMAR 26.11.01--General Administrative
Provisions, as follows:
    ``.01 Definitions
    A. (text unchanged)
    B. Terms Defined
    (1)-(20-1) (text unchanged)
    (21) -- `National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
source (NESHAP source)' means any:
    (a) Source of asbestos, beryllium, mercury, vinyl chloride,
benzene, or inorganic arsenic which is subject to the provisions of 40
CFR Part 61 (excluding Subparts B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W), as
amended; or
    (b) [One of the sources listed in Sec.  D of this regulation] \2\
Source which is subject to the provisions of 40 CFR Part 63, as
amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Maryland uses brackets to indicate text to be deleted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (22) Reserved
    (23) `New Source Performance Standard source (NSPS source)' [(see
Sec.  C of this regulation)] means any source which is subject to 40
CFR part 60, as amended.
    (24)-(53) (text unchanged)
    [C.]-[D.] (proposed for repeal)''
    The notice also proposes a change to a reference in COMAR to the
NSPS definition. That reference is found at Regulation .12 under COMAR
26.11.06--General Emission Standards, Prohibitions, and Restrictions.
Maryland proposed this change in the citation because Maryland had also
proposed to change the COMAR identification of the NSPS source
definition to identify it as definition number 23.
    In response to your submittal, EPA acknowledges that Maryland now
has the delegated authority to implement and enforce the current and
future NESHAP as found in 40 CFR part 63, and the current and future
NSPS found in 40 CFR part 60, except for those standards which EPA
explicitly excluded from its delegations to Maryland in EPA's initial
delegation actions, as discussed below. EPA also acknowledges that
Maryland has the delegated authority to implement and enforce any
future amendments to delegated standards. EPA would also like to note
that Maryland continues to be delegated the authority to implement and
enforce the NESHAP standards at 40 CFR part 61, in accordance with
EPA's previous delegation action related to these standards, except for
those subparts in 40 CFR part 61 which Maryland has not adopted by
reference as Maryland indicates by its exclusion of them in its
definition of NESHAP source.
    Please note that when EPA initially delegated to Maryland the
authority to implement and enforce various NESHAP and NSPS, EPA
specified various standards or provisions that it

was specifically excluding from its designation, including any
standards under 40 CFR part 63 that control radionuclides, or any
provisions pertaining to an accidental release prevention program.
These exclusions remain in effect. EPA also specified various
requirements, limitations and restrictions. All of these remain in
effect.
    Please also note that on December 19, 2008, in Sierra Club v.
EPA,\3\ the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit vacated certain provisions of the General Provisions of 40 CFR
Part 63 relating to exemptions for startup, shutdown, and malfunction
(SSM). On October 16, 2009, the Court issued a mandate vacating these
SSM exemption provisions, which are found at 40 CFR Sec.  63.6(f)(1)
and (h)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Sierra Club v. EPA, 551 F.3rd 1019 (D.C. Cir. 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, EPA no longer allows sources the SSM exemption as
provided for in the vacated provisions at 40 CFR Sec.  63.6(f)(1) and
(h)(1), even though EPA has not yet formally removed these SSM
exemption provisions from the General Provisions of 40 CFR Part 63.
Because Maryland incorporated 40 CFR Part 63 by reference, Maryland

BILLING CODE 6560-50-P


Class Determination x-xx , Confidentiality of Business Information Submitted in Compliance Documents for 2014 and Subsequent Model Year Vehicles, Engines and Equipment U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations issued under the authority of the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA" or "the Act"), 5 U.S.C. § 552, prescribe procedures for determining whether business information submitted to the Agency and claimed as confidential by third parties should be released to the public when disclosure is requested under the Act.  40 C.F.R. § 2.207 of the regulations provides that a determination that information is or is not entitled to confidential treatment for reasons of business confidentiality may be made on a class basis if one or more characteristics common to all items of such information necessarily will result in identical treatment under the regulations for each such item of information.  In accordance with the regulation, the Assistant General Counsel for the General Law Office, as the General Counsel's designee, herein makes the requisite determination that information submitted by vehicle, engine, and equipment manufacturers for the purpose of assessing compliance with Clean Air Act regulatory requirements will be treated identically and should be the subject of a class determination.  This class determination will apply prospectively for 2014 and subsequent model year vehicles, engines and equipment regulated by the Office of Transportation and Air Quality and covers information that is submitted by manufacturers to satisfy post-certification compliance reporting requirements  as required by applicable regulations.   EPA intends to treat this information in a manner largely consistent with previously applicable class determinations for the same type of information. In accordance with 40 C.F.R. § 2.207, I find that:       1) EPA will possess large numbers of compliance reports and other information for vehicles, engines and equipment for model year 2014 and beyond, which contain information claimed to be entitled to confidential treatment for reasons of business confidentiality.  The Agency requires the submission of such documents to assure compliance with Clean Air Act requirements and will continue to require such documents in the future.         2) Certain categories of information contained in documents submitted to the Agency by manufacturers of vehicles, engines, and equipment share common characteristics that necessarily will result in identical treatment with respect to claims of business confidentiality. It is therefore appropriate to treat such information on a class basis for purposes of determining whether information is entitled to confidential treatment.       3) A class determination that such information is or is not entitled to confidential treatment would streamline the Agency's response to requests for information under the Act and would further the purposes of the Act by assuring the American public timely access to requested information, consistent with the rights of affected businesses to be protected from improper disclosure of confidential treatment. It will also serve a useful purpose in that it will remove the necessity of clearing all of the information in each application prior to its being made available to the public. EPA may withhold information from disclosure under the FOIA if the information falls within one of the exemptions of the Act.  One of these exemptions is for the "trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential" (5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).  The information contained in the compliance reports is clearly commercial or financial information.  The real issue is whether the information is exempt from disclosure as "trade secrets" or is otherwise "confidential" within the meaning of 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4). Before EPA may conclude that information in compliance reports is exempt from disclosure as trade secret or confidential information, the Agency must find that the information is in fact maintained in confidence by the business and is not publically available.  If it is not maintained in confidence or is publically available, it is not entitled to confidential treatment, and EPA must disclose the information. Information that has not been obtained voluntarily, has been kept confidential and has not been made public in any way may be entitled to confidential treatment under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4) if it meets  one of the tests set out in National Parks & Conservation Association v. Morton, 498 F.2d  765 (D.C. Cir. 1974). See also Critical Mass Energy Project v. NRC, 975 F.2d 871, 880 (D.C. Cir. 1992).  Under Morton, commercial or financial information may only be withheld from disclosure if disclosure by EPA would be likely: (1) to impair the ability of the Government to obtain necessary information in the future or (2) to cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the person who submitted it to the Government. The first test is not applicable to the information in compliance reports because release of the information is unlikely to result in a diminution of the reliability or quality of what is submitted as the submission is required by statute (or regulation) in order for EPA to assess compliance with applicable Clean Air regulatory requirements.  The second test is applicable if disclosure of specific information would cause substantial harm to the competitive position of the manufacturer submitting compliance reports. Consistent with previous class determinations, I have determined that the information in the compliance reports submitted to EPA for vehicles, engines, and equipment for model year 2014 and beyond will be treated as outlined below.  The regulated industries covered by this document are: 	Light-duty and medium duty passenger vehicles (LD) 	Nonroad Spark-ignition (marine, small, and large) engines (NRSI) 	Nonroad evaporative components and equipment (Nonroad Evap) 	Locomotives (Loco) 	Nonroad Compression-ignition engines and equipment (NRCI) 	Motorcycles, All-terrain Vehicles, and Snowmobiles (MC-ATV-Snow) 	Heavy-duty On-highway vehicles and engines (HD On-highway) 	Marine Compression-ignition engines (Marine CI) 	HD Vocational Vehicles and Tractors

The tables below provide broad categories of the information collected in various post-certification compliance reports by EPA to assess compliance with EPA regulations.  Not all reports are required for all industries and there are some instances that cause certain reports to become required (e.g. defect reports). This information is either collected via the Verify Document Module in the form of documents (e.g., Adobe PDF, Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, or Microsoft Word documents), directly via web screens and stored in Verify or in electronic file as well as paper formats.  When a document is submitted, some industry sectors provide to EPA two versions of each document type.  One version contains the complete compliance document, including all CBI.  The second version is the "FOIA" version which has been redacted by the manufacturer of any CBI and is readily releasable by EPA when a FOIA request is received.   In order to facilitate the timely release of information, EPA encourages all manufacturers to submit a "FOIA" version of all of their compliance documents using the tables below as a guideline for what EPA considers to be releasable information.                  Information Not Entitled to Confidential Treatment

I have determined that any emissions data contained in reports collected from vehicle, engine, or equipment models that is collected by EPA for post-certification compliance assessments and determinations is not entitled to confidential treatment (see Table 1 below). Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542), "emission data" is not entitled to confidential treatment and must be released at any time.  Section 2.301 of the regulations defines "emission data" and further clarifies that emission data, standards or limitations, and any other information provided under section 208 of the Clean Air Act which is determined under this subpart not to be entitled to confidential treatment, shall be available to the public.  While Section 2.301 does allow confidential treatment for information concerning any product, method, device, or installation prior to its introduction into commerce, this allowance does not apply to the extent that such information is "necessary to allow EPA to disclose that a source is (or is not) in compliance with an applicable standard or limitation, or to allow EPA to demonstrate the feasibility, practicality, or attainability (or lack thereof) of an existing or proposed standard or limitation." Emissions test results from vehicle, engine or equipment models ("emissions test data") are necessary for such purposes, and so are never entitled to confidential treatment.  Emissions test results data includes, for example, test results of measured pollutants such as CO, CO2, NOx, etc, as applicable.  Therefore, any claim for confidential business treatment of "emission test results data," as described above, will be denied.

                                    Table 1 Manufacturer Compliance Information Never Considered to be CBI (Either before or after Completion of the Model Year)   LD NRSI Nonroad Evap  Loco NRCI MC-ATV-Snow HD On-highway Marine CI HD Tractors and Vocational Vehicles Emissions Test Results Data (includes criteria pollutants and greenhouse gas constituents) X X X X X X X X X X -  Information applicable to this industry category  Information Entitled to Confidential Treatment until a Model Year is Complete I have determined that the information set forth below in table 2 should be entitled to confidential business treatment until the date on which the model year of the vehicle, engine, or equipment model is complete.  The definition of a complete model year varies by industry sector and compliance reporting deadlines are specified in the applicable regulations. The model year will be considered complete with the final reporting deadlines as specified in the applicable regulations. This information will only be given confidential treatment if the manufacturer (1) asserts that the information is entitled to confidential treatment, and (2) has not waived or withdrawn that assertion.  Inherent in assertion (1) are the following representations by the manufacturer: (a) the manufacturer has maintained the information in confidence, (b) the information cannot be readily obtained by others by legitimate means, and (c) disclosure of the information to the public prior to the completion of the model year would be likely to cause substantial harm to the manufacturer's competitive position.  Upon request by EPA, the manufacturer is expected to substantiate these representations to EPA's satisfaction.

                                    Table 2 Manufacturer Compliance Information Not Considered to be CBI after Completion of the Model Year   LD NRSI Nonroad Evap  Loco NRCI MC-ATV-Snow HD On-highway Marine CI HD Tractors and Vocational Vehicles Vehicle/Engine/Evaporative Family Information X X X X X X X X X Emission Control System Information  X X X X X X X X X Contacts/Importers/Agents of Service/Ports X X X X X X X X X Emission Standards, FELs, and DFs X X X X X X X X X Test Parameters and Information (test cycles, locations, sample sizes, etc) X X X X X X X X X Final Sales/Production Information  (subfamily, subconfiguration, engine models, annual production reports, product information reports, final CAFE and GHG reports including unique footprint /fuel economy , etc)

X  -  Information applicable to this industry category n/a  -  Information not applicable to this industry category Note: Compliance correspondence that relates directly to the categories in this table will be afforded the same protection as the underlying information. 	 These compliance reports contain information that is gathered by the manufacturer throughout the course of a given model year.  EPA does not collect the information prior to the completion of the model year because the information is not complete and is required to be submitted by reporting deadlines that are established by regulation (e.g. Final Averaging, Banking and Trading (ABT) reports are due 270 days after the completion of the model year). For this reason, if a manufacturer makes the representations set out above, I have determined that the information is entitled to confidential business treatment until the completion of the model year, unless EPA becomes aware that the particular information has become generally available to the manufacturer's competitors or requests the manufacturer to substantiate these representations to EPA's satisfaction. The class determination for the information in Table 2 provides for confidential treatment on a class-wide basis only until the model year in question is complete. Manufacturers, however, are not precluded from requesting confidential treatment for the information in Table 2 for compliance reports for which the model year is already complete. Such requests will not be addressed under this class determination, but rather will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis using the substantial-competitive harm standard applicable generally to requests for confidential treatment under FOIA Exemption 4.  In the situation where a manufacturer wishes to assert that information covered under this section is entitled to confidential treatment, the manufacturer must state clearly that it is claiming specific information listed in Table 2 (and state what the information is) as confidential beyond the completion date of the model year and provide reason why the material is appropriately listed as CBI. Failure to do so constitutes a waiver of any further claim.                   Information Entitled to Confidential Treatment Certain types of information in compliance reports may be entitled to confidential treatment beyond the date after which the model year has been completed.  I have determined that the information in Table 3 below may be entitled to confidential treatment indefinitely, both before and after the model year has been completed. In accordance with EPA regulations at 40 C.F.R. sections 2.204 and 2.205, this information will be entitled to confidential treatment if the manufacturer (1) asserts that the information is entitled to confidential treatment, and (2) has not waived or withdrawn that assertion.  Inherent in assertion (1) are the following representations by the manufacturer:  (a) they have maintained the information in confidence, (b) the information cannot be readily obtained by other legitimate means, and (c) disclosure of the information to the public both before and after model introduction would be likely to cause substantial harm to the manufacturer's competitive position.  Upon request by EPA, the manufacturer would be expected to substantiate these representations to EPA's satisfaction.  As noted above, if a manufacturer is unable to show harm to its competitive position after model introduction into commerce but can show harm prior to model introduction into commerce, the information will be entitled to confidential treatment prior to introduction into U.S. commerce.

                                    Table 3         Manufacturer Compliance Information Always Considered to be CBI   LD NRSI Nonroad Evap  Loco NRCI MC-ATV-Snow HD On-highway Marine CI HD Tractors and Vocational Vehicles Pre-Production Information (e.g. volumes, start and end dates, etc) X X X X X X X X X Aftertreatment Device Details X X X X X X X X X Auxiliary Emission Control Devices (AECDs)* X X X X X X X X X Technical Description Information / Test Group or Engine Family Comments/Notes/Explanations, etc.  X X X X X X X X X Premodel Year Reports X X X X X X X X X

*The technical description provided by a manufacturer about how the AECD is used is always considered to be CBI.  However, the effect of the AECD on emissions is considered emissions data and is therefore never considered to be CBI. n/a  -  Information not applicable to this industry category  X  -  Information Applicable to this industry Note: Compliance correspondence that relates directly to the categories in this table will be afforded the same protection as the underlying information.

The types of information in Table 3 may be confidential both before and after the completion of the model year.  For example, pre-model year reports provided to EPA are manufacturer estimates of product plans and the public release of such information would give insight into a manufacturer's competitive strategies. Therefore, release of such information could be harmful to the manufacturer. Given this circumstance, this information is also entitled to confidential treatment both before and after the end of the model year.  If EPA receives a request for this information, the agency will request that the manufacturer substantiate its confidentiality claims, consistent with the regulations at 40 C.F.R. Part 2.  The agency expects that information in the substantiation might reveal other confidential information.      Other Manufacturer Information Not Entitled to Confidential Treatment There are several categories of information that are provided by manufacturers to EPA on an "as needed" basis as outlined in the regulations as compared to the information in the tables above which is required to be reported to EPA at regular intervals as outlined in the applicable regulations (e.g. 90 days after the end of the model year).    One major category of information is related to recall and defect reporting.  For defect reporting, manufacturers are required to report emission-related defects to EPA when certain defect thresholds are met, as outlined in the applicable regulations.  In the past, EPA has made available full defect reports we have received but only for the light-duty industry sector because they were most frequently requested.  The existence of a defect report and the general information required to describe it will not be considered CBI. Manufacturers should submit to EPA both a FOIA version and a non-FOIA version of a defect report to address any requests for more detailed information.  For recall reporting, manufacturers issue a recall when a defect is identified that causes noncompliance with emission standards.  These recalls are mostly conducted voluntarily by the manufacturer, but EPA can also mandate recalls. All recall reports must be submitted to EPA.  Recall reports are widely available to the general public and do not contain any CBI.

Other such information that is provided to EPA as needed by manufacturers that is not tied to a regular reporting schedule is the voluntary Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM).  TPEM is a unique  regulatory flexibility that allows NRCI equipment manu - facturers to continue using engines that comply with the previous set of emission standards ("non - compliant engines") for up to seven years after the new regulations first apply.  This program was also available to NRSI manufacturers for model years 2011-2014.  Manufacturers who voluntarily participate in the program must notify EPA of their intent to participate and provide a final report to EPA with information regarding the engines that were covered under the program. The fact that a manufacturer has notified EPA of their intent to participate in the TPEM program, as well as the subsequent reports collected by EPA, are not confidential information. Table 4 outlines the programs and the industry sectors to which these programs apply.

                                    Table 4      Other Manufacturer Compliance Information Not Considered to be CBI *   LD NRSI Nonroad Evap  Loco NRCI MC-ATV-Snow HD On-highway Marine CI HD Tractors and Vocational Vehicles Investigation report, defect report, voluntary emission recall report, remedial plan, and quarterly reports  x x x x x x x x x Transition Program for Equipment Manufacturers (TPEM) notifications and engine and equipment manufacturers' annual reports  n/a x n/a n/a x n/a n/a n/a n/a

* this compliance information is provided by manufacturers to EPA on an "as needed" basis as outlined in the regulations as compared to the information in the tables above which is required to be reported to EPA at  regular intervals as outlined in the applicable regulations (e.g. 90 days after the end of the model year) to demonstrate compliance

** The TPEM program was available for the NRSI industry for model years 2011-2014.  Although this determination is prospective for 2014 and later model years, TPEM information submitted by the NRSI industry for model years 2011-2013 are also covered by this determination.

Consistent with the substantiation process of 40 C.F.R. § 2.205, if EPA determines that the disclosure of compliance reports would likely result in substantial competitive harm to a manufacturer, we will determine that the information is exempt from disclosure under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)).  EPA policy requires that any information that is exempt under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(4)) must be maintained subject to any modification that might arise under 40 CFR  § 2.205(h) or any other requirement of 40 C.F.R. Part 2.

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0168]

Interim Guidance for Nontank Vessel Response Plans

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of cancellation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces the cancellation of Navigation and
Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) No. 01-05, Change (CH)-1, ``Interim
Guidance for the Development and Review of Response Plans for Nontank
Vessels.'' NVIC 01-05, CH-1 is replaced by the ``Nontank Vessel
Response Plans and Other Response Plan Requirements'' final rule
promulgated on September 30, 2013.

DATES: NVIC No. 01-05, CH-1 is cancelled effective January 31, 2014.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on the
cancellation of NVIC 01-05, CH-1, call Lieutenant Commander John
Peterson, Vessel Response Plan Program, Office of Commercial Vessel
Compliance, at telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you have questions on
reviewing material in the docket, call Cheryl Collins, Program Manager,
Docket Operations, at telephone number<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 9, 2004, the President signed the Coast Guard and
Maritime Transportation Act of 2004 (Pub. L. 108-293; the ``2004
Act''). Section 701 of the 2004 Act required any self-propelled nontank
vessel of 400 gross tons or greater on U.S. navigable waters to prepare
and submit an oil response plan by August 8, 2005.
    On February 23, 2006, Change 1 to NVIC 01-05, ``Interim Guidance
for the Development and Review of Response Plans for Nontank Vessels,''
was issued to augment previous guidance for nontank vessels preparing
and submitting response plans to the U.S. Coast Guard. The NVIC was
intended only to provide non-binding voluntary guidance to industry for
preparing response plans.
    Existing plans developed in accordance with NVIC 01-05, CH-1, may
not comply with the newly issued nontank vessel response plan
regulations, and may require the vessel owner or operator to revise a
plan in accordance with the ``Nontank Vessel Response Plans and Other
Response Plan Requirements'' final rule, RIN 1625-AB27, promulgated on
September 30, 2013 (78 FR 60100). The final rule may be viewed online
at http://Regulations.gov under docket number USCG-2008-1070. If you do
not have internet access, you can obtain a copy of the final rule by
contacting the VRP Program staff at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or your local U.S.
Coast Guard Sector Command. This notice is issued under the authority
of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

    Dated: March 31, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 3, 2010, NHTSA published a
request for comment on one collection of information for which it
intends to seek OMB approval (75 FR 54217). That notice explained that
to further NHTSA's development of a national tire fuel efficiency
consumer information program required under the Energy Independence and
Security Act of 2007,\1\ NHTSA is proposing a multi-phased consumer
research project and is currently requesting comment on the first phase
of that research, which will consist of qualitative focus group market
research and tire retailer interviews. On September 27, 2010, NHTSA
published an amended request for comment with regards to focus group
location, testing for the impact of basing a tire fuel efficiency
rating on rolling resistance coefficient (RRC) vs. rolling resistance
force (RRF), and testing for the recognition of existing labeling. (75
FR 59319)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Public Law 110-140, 121 Stat. 1492 (Dec. 18, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NHTSA has recently placed in the docket for this notice draft
documents that may assist commenters in elaborating on NHTSA's proposed
plan. These documents include a summary of the focus group methodology,
screening criteria of focus group participants, the draft focus group
discussion guide, the proposed labels that will be shown and discussed,
and the tire retailer interview discussion guide.
    NHTSA notes that comments have already been sought on and a public
meeting has already been held on a draft research plan for the consumer
research that is the subject of this collection of information.\2\ The
relevance and poignancy of stakeholders' comments may be enhanced by
reviewing that draft research plan and comments received in response to
the draft research plan and public meeting, as well as comments already
received in response to the original request for comments.

[Docket No. USCG-2019-0432]

Security Zone; Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week Moving Vessels, 2019,
Puget Sound, WA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of enforcement of regulation.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard will enforce Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week
Moving Vessels security zones from 10 a.m. on July 29, 2019, through 6
p.m. on August 4, 2019. These security zones are necessary to help
ensure the security of the vessels from sabotage or other subversive
acts during Seafair Fleet Week Parade of Ships. The designated
participating vessels are: HMCS NANAIMO (MM 702), HMCS EDMONTON (MM
703), and USCGC ACTIVE (WMEC 618). During the enforcement period, no
person or vessel may enter or remain in the security zones without the
permission of the Captain of the Port (COTP), Puget Sound or her
designated representative. The COTP has granted general permission for
vessels to enter the outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as
those vessels within the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate
at the minimum speed necessary to maintain course unless required to
maintain speed by the navigation rules.

DATES: The regulations in 33 CFR 165.1333 will be enforced from 10 a.m.
July 29, 2019, through 6 p.m. on August 4, 2019, unless cancelled
sooner by the Captain of the Port Puget Sound or her designated
representative.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this
notice of enforcement, call or email Lieutenant Ellie Wu, Sector Puget
Sound Waterways Management Division, Coast Guard; telephone 206-217-
6051, email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast Guard will enforce the security
zones for Seattle's Seafair Fleet Week Moving Vessels in 33 CFR
165.1333 from 10 a.m. on July 29, 2019, through 6 p.m. on August 4,
2019.
    In accordance with the general regulations in 33 CFR part 165,
subpart D, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the security
zones without the permission of the Captain of the Port, Puget Sound or
her designated representative. For 2019, the following areas are Sec.
165.1333 security zones: All navigable waters within 500 yards of HMCS
NANAIMO (MM 702), HMCS EDMONTON (MM 703), and USCGC ACTIVE (WMEC 618)
while each such vessel is in the Sector Puget Sound COTP Zone.
    The COTP has granted general permission for vessels to enter the
outer 400 yards of the security zones as long as those vessels within
the outer 400 yards of the security zones operate at the minimum speed
necessary to maintain course unless required to maintain speed by the
navigation rules. The COTP may be assisted by other federal, state or
local agencies with the enforcement of the security zones.
    All vessel operators who desire to enter the inner 100 yards of the
security zones or transit the outer 400 yards at greater than minimum
speed necessary to maintain course must obtain permission from the COTP
or her

designated representative by contacting the on-scene patrol craft on
VHF Ch 13 or Ch 16. Requests must include the reason why movement
within this area is necessary. Vessel operators granted permission to
enter the security zones will be escorted by the on-scene patrol craft
until they are outside of the security zones.
    In addition to this notice of enforcement, the Coast Guard will
provide the maritime community with advanced notification of the
security zones via the Local Notice to Mariners and marine information
broadcasts on the day of the event. In the event that there are changes
to the participating vessels, due to operational requirements, the
Coast Guard will provide actual notice for any additional designated
participating vessels not covered in this notice.
    In addition, members of the public may contact Sector Puget Sound
COTP at<PHONE_NUMBER> for an up-to-date list of designated participating
vessels. If the COTP determines that the security zones need not be
enforced for the full duration stated in this notice of enforcement, a
Broadcast Notice to Mariners may be used to grant general permission to
enter all portions of the regulated areas.
