40 CFR Part 180

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0591; FRL-10011-33]

Long Chain Alcohols; Exemption From the Requirement of a
Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of long chain alcohols when used as inert
ingredients (carrier/adjuvant and coating agent/binder) in pesticide
products applied to/on all growing crops and raw agricultural
commodities after harvest, and to/on animals, and in certain
antimicrobial formulations. Spring Trading Company on behalf of Sasol
Chemicals (USA) LLC., submitted a petition to EPA under the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an establishment of an
exemption from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation
eliminates the need to establish a maximum permissible level for
residues of certain long chain alcohols when used in accordance with
these exemptions.

DATES: This regulation is effective July 31, 2020. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before September 29, 2020,
and must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40
CFR part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

II. Petition for Exemption

    In the Federal Register of February 11, 2020 (85 FR 7708) (FRL-
10005-02), EPA issued a document pursuant to FFDCA section 408, 21
U.S.C. 346a, announcing the filing of a pesticide petition (IN-11284)
by Spring Trading Company (203 Dogwood Trail, Magnolia, TX 77354) on
behalf of Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC (12120 Wickchester Lane, Houston,
TX 77224). The petition requested that 40 CFR be amended by
establishing an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance for
residues of certain long chain alcohols (CAS Reg. Nos.: 112-42-5, 112-
72-1, 112-92-5, 629-96-9, 661-19-8, 68603-17-8, 1190630-03-5, 1430895-
61-6, and 1430895-62-7) when used as inert ingredients (carrier/
adjuvant and coating agent/binder) in pesticide formulations applied
to/on all growing crops and raw agricultural commodities after harvest
under 40 CFR 180.910, to/on animals under 180.930, and in certain
antimicrobial formulations under 180.940(a). That document referenced a
summary of the petition prepared by Spring Trading Company on behalf of
Sasol Chemicals (USA) LLC, the petitioner, which is available in the
docket, http://www.regulations.gov. There were no comments received in
response to the notice of filing.

III. Inert Ingredient Definition

    Inert ingredients are all ingredients that are not active
ingredients as defined in 40 CFR 153.125 and include, but are not
limited to, the following types of ingredients (except when they have a
pesticidal efficacy of their own): Solvents such as alcohols and
hydrocarbons; surfactants such as polyoxyethylene polymers and fatty
acids; carriers such as clay and diatomaceous earth; thickeners such as
carrageenan and modified cellulose; wetting, spreading, and dispersing
agents; propellants in aerosol dispensers; microencapsulating agents;
and emulsifiers. The term ``inert'' is not intended to imply
nontoxicity; the ingredient may or may not be chemically active.
Generally, EPA has exempted inert ingredients from the requirement of a
tolerance based on the low toxicity of the individual inert
ingredients.

IV. Aggregate Risk Assessment and Determination of Safety

    Section 408(c)(2)(A)(i) of FFDCA allows EPA to establish an
exemption from the requirement for a tolerance (the legal limit for a
pesticide chemical residue in or on a food) only if EPA determines that
the exemption is ``safe.'' Section 408(c)(2)(A)(ii) of FFDCA defines
``safe'' to mean that ``there is a reasonable certainty that no harm
will result from aggregate exposure to the pesticide chemical residue,
including all anticipated dietary exposures and all other exposures for
which there is reliable information.'' This includes exposure through
drinking water and in residential settings but does not include
occupational exposure. Under FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA must take
into account, among other considerations, the factors in subparagraphs
(C) and (D) of subsection (b)(2). Section 408(b)(2)(C) of FFDCA
requires EPA to give special consideration to exposure of infants and
children to the pesticide chemical residue in establishing a tolerance
and to ``ensure that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will
result to infants and children from aggregate exposure to the pesticide
chemical residue . . . .''
    EPA establishes exemptions from the requirement of a tolerance only
in those cases where it can be clearly demonstrated that the risks from
aggregate exposure to pesticide chemical residues under reasonably
foreseeable circumstances will pose no appreciable risks to human
health. In order to determine the risks from aggregate exposure to
pesticide inert ingredients, the Agency considers the toxicity of the
inert in conjunction with possible exposure to residues of the inert
ingredient through food, drinking water, and through other exposures
that occur as a result of pesticide use in residential settings. If EPA
is able to determine that a tolerance is not necessary to ensure that
there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result from aggregate
exposure to the inert ingredient, an exemption from the requirement of
a tolerance may be established.
    Consistent with FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(A), and the factors
specified in FFDCA section 408(c)(2)(B), EPA has reviewed the available
scientific data and other relevant information in support of this
action. EPA has sufficient data to assess the hazards of and to make a
determination on aggregate exposure for certain long chain alcohols
including exposure resulting from the exemption established by this
action. EPA's assessment of exposures and risks associated with certain
long chain alcohols follows.

A. Toxicological Profile

    EPA has evaluated the available toxicity data and considered their
validity, completeness, and reliability as well as the relationship of
the results of the studies to human risk. EPA has also considered
available information concerning the variability of the sensitivities
of major identifiable subgroups of consumers, including infants and
children. Specific information on the studies received and the nature
of the adverse effects caused by the relevant long chain alcohols as
well as the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) and the lowest-
observed-adverse-effect-level (LOAEL) from the toxicity studies can be
found at http://www.regulations.gov in the document Long Chain
Alcohols; Human Health Risk Assessment and Ecological Effects
Assessment to Support Proposed Exemption from the Requirement of a
Tolerance When Used as an Inert Ingredient in Pesticide Formulations in
docket ID number EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0591.
    Toxicological data for several long chain alcohols (C12-
C34) are used as surrogate data for the proposed long chain
alcohols since long chain alcohols are structurally similar, differing
only in carbon chain length so toxicity is expected to be similar.
    The acute oral, dermal, and inhalation toxicities are low in rats
treated with long chain alcohols. They are mildly to non-irritating to
the rabbit eye and moderately to non-irritating to rabbit skin. Long
chain alcohols are not skin sensitizers.
    No toxicity is observed in repeated dose studies conducted with
long chain alcohols administered via diet and gavage to rats, mice,
dogs and rabbits.
    Mutagenicity is not expected with long chain alcohols since
negative results are observed in mutagenicity studies.
    Neurotoxicity and immunotoxicity studies are not available for
review. However, no evidence of neurotoxicity or immunotoxicity is
observed in any of the available studies on long chain alcohols.

B. Toxicological Points of Departure/Levels of Concern

    The available toxicity studies indicate that long chain alcohols
have very low overall toxicity. Acute oral toxicity studies show
LD50s above 2,000 mg/kg in rats. Repeated dose studies show
no toxicity at doses as high as 2,000 mg/kg/day, twice the limit dose
of 1,000 mg/kg/day. Since no toxicity is observed, an endpoint of
concern for risk assessment purposes was not identified. EPA assessed
dietary and other non-occupational exposures qualitatively.

C. Exposure Assessment

    1. Dietary exposure from drinking water, food and feed uses. In
evaluating dietary exposure to long chain alcohols, EPA considered
exposure under the proposed exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance. EPA assessed dietary exposures from long chain alcohols in
food as follows:
    Dietary exposure (food and drinking water) to long chain alcohols
may occur following ingestion of foods with residues from their use in
accordance with this exemption. Dietary exposure may also occur from
direct and indirect food contact uses under the Food and Drug
Administration Code of Federal Regulations Title 21. However, a
quantitative dietary exposure assessment was not conducted since a
toxicological endpoint for risk assessment was not identified.
    2. From non-dietary exposure. The term ``residential exposure'' is
used in this document to refer to non-occupational, non-dietary
exposure (e.g., textiles (clothing and diapers), carpets, swimming
pools, and hard surface disinfection on walls, floors, tables).
    Long chain alcohols may be used in pesticide products and non-
pesticide products that may be used in and around the home. Based on
the discussion above regarding the toxicity of the long chain alcohols,
a quantitative residential exposure assessment for long chain alcohols
was not conducted.
    3. Cumulative effects from substances with a common mechanism of
toxicity. Section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) of FFDCA requires that, when
considering whether to establish, modify, or revoke a tolerance, the
Agency consider ``available information'' concerning the cumulative
effects of a particular pesticide's residues and ``other substances
that have a common mechanism of toxicity.''
    Based on the available data, long chain alcohols do not have a
toxic mechanism; therefore, section 408(b)(2)(D)(v) does not apply.

D. Safety Factor for Infants and Children

    Based on the lack of threshold effects, EPA has not identified any
toxicological endpoints of concern and is conducting a qualitative
assessment of long chain alcohols. The qualitative assessment does not
use safety factors for assessing risk, and no additional safety factor
is needed for assessing risk to infants and children. Based on an
assessment of long chain alcohols, EPA has concluded that there are no
toxicological endpoints of concern for the U.S. population, including
infants and children.

E. Aggregate Risks and Determination of Safety

    Because no toxicological endpoints of concern were identified, EPA
concludes that there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result
to the general population, or to infants and children from aggregate
exposure to long chain alcohols residues.

V. Other Considerations

Analytical Enforcement Methodology

    An analytical method is not required for enforcement purposes since
the Agency is establishing an exemption from the requirement of a
tolerance without any numerical limitation.

VI. Conclusions

    Therefore, an exemption from the requirement of a tolerance is
established for residues of long chain alcohols: 1-undecanol (CAS Reg.
No. 112-42-5), 1-tetradecanol (CAS Reg. No. 112-72-1), 1-octadecanol
(CAS Reg. No. 112-92-5), 1-eicosanol (CAS Reg. No. 629-96-9), 1-
docosanol (CAS Reg. No. 661-19-8), alcohols, C16-18, distn.
residues (CAS Reg. No. 68603-17-8 & CAS Reg. No. 1190630-03-5),
alkenes, C18-22, mixed with polyethylene, oxidized,
hydrolyzed, distn. residues from C16-18 alcs. manuf. (CAS
Reg. No. 1430895-61-6), alkenes, C18-22, mixed with
polyethylene, oxidized, hydrolyzed, distn. residues from
C20-22 alcs. manuf. (CAS Reg. No. 1430895-62-7) when used as
inert ingredients (carrier/adjuvant and coating agent/binder) in
pesticide formulations applied to/on all growing crops and raw
agricultural commodities after harvest under 40 CFR 180.910, to/on
animals under 180.930, and in certain antimicrobial formulations under
180.940(a).

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This action establishes a tolerance exemption under FFDCA section
408(d) in response to a petition submitted to the Agency. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted these types of actions from
review under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and
Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). Because this action has been
exempted from review under Executive Order 12866, this action is not
subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) or Executive Order 13045,

entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), nor is it considered a
regulatory action under Executive Order 13771, entitled ``Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory Costs'' (82 FR 9339, February 3,
2017). This action does not contain any information collections subject
to OMB approval under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), nor does it require any special considerations under
Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    Since tolerances and exemptions that are established on the basis
of a petition under FFDCA section 408(d), such as the tolerance
exemption in this final rule, do not require the issuance of a proposed
rule, the requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.), do not apply.
    This action directly regulates growers, food processors, food
handlers, and food retailers, not States or Tribes, nor does this
action alter the relationships or distribution of power and
responsibilities established by Congress in the preemption provisions
of FFDCA section 408(n)(4). As such, the Agency has determined that
this action will not have a substantial direct effect on States or
Tribal Governments, on the relationship between the National Government
and the States or Tribal Governments, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government or between
the Federal Government and Indian Tribes. Thus, the Agency has
determined that Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) and Executive Order 13175, entitled
``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000) do not apply to this action. In addition, this
action does not impose any enforceable duty or contain any unfunded
mandate as described under Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
    This action does not involve any technical standards that would
require Agency consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) (15 U.S.C. 272 note).

VIII. Congressional Review Act

    Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.),
EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

[Docket No. FAA-2022-0288; Project Identifier MCAI-2021-00913-G]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co.
Segelflugzeugbau Gliders

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for all Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau Model ASW-15
gliders. This proposed AD was prompted by mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI identifies the unsafe condition as wing root
damage. This proposed AD would require repetitively inspecting the wing
root ribs for cracks, looseness, and damage and replacing any root rib
with a crack, a loose rib or lift pin bushing, or any damage. The FAA
is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 9,
2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2022-0288; Project Identifier
MCAI-2021-00913-G'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Jim
Rutherford, Aviation Safety Engineer, General Aviation & Rotorcraft
Section, International Validation Branch, FAA, 901 Locust, Room 301,
Kansas City, MO 64106. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is
not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket
for this rulemaking.

Background

    The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the
Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued
EASA AD 2021-0187, dated August 9, 2021 (referred to after this as
``the MCAI''), to address an unsafe condition on certain Alexander
Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau Model ASW 15 gliders. The MCAI
states:

    Occurrences were reported of finding wing root rib damage.
Investigation is ongoing to determine the root cause of the damage.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could reduce the
structural integrity of the wing assembly of the sailplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, Schleicher issued
the TN [technical note] to provide inspection instructions.
    For the reasons described above, this [EASA] AD requires
repetitive inspections of each affected part and, depending on
findings, replacement. This [EASA] AD also introduces restrictions
for installation of an affected part.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2022-
0288.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co. Segelflugzeugbau
ASW 15 Technical Note No. 29, dated June 28, 2021. This service
information specifies inspecting the root ribs at the wings.
    The FAA also reviewed Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co.
Segelflugzeugbau ASW 15 Repair instruction exchange of wing root ribs
according to TN 29, dated June 28, 2021. This service information
specifies procedures for replacing the root ribs.
    In addition, the FAA reviewed Alexander Schleicher GmbH & Co.
Segelflugzeugbau ASW 15 Maintenance Instruction G, Issue 1, dated June
28, 2021. This service information specifies procedures for inspecting
the root ribs at the wings for damage.
    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 ADDRESSES.

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
the FAA's bilateral agreement with this State of Design Authority, it
has notified the FAA of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and
service information referenced above. The FAA is issuing this NPRM
after determining the unsafe condition described previously is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 20 gliders of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

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

                                     hour = $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of
gliders that might need these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Replace all four root ribs....................  8 work-hours x $85 per hour =             $1,000          $1,680
                                                 $680.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

RE: Analysis of Coke Oven Gas for BTEX

Hi Katie: Sorry for the delay, but we wanted to make sure we provided all the information that was needed.

In response to the points made in the SunCoke letter of 8/31/22, we would like to point out that the Clean Air Act (CAA) provides EPA with authority to request information for the development of any emission standard under CAA section 112 of the Act. As such, EPA's authority to request information from SunCoke is not limited by the scope of the action to be taken to satisfy the court's order in Citizen's for Pennsylvania's Future, et al., v. Wheeler, Case No. 3:19-cv-02004 (N.D. Cal.). The EPA also may at any time list additional categories and subcategories of source of hazardous air pollutants.

We carefully considered SunCoke letter of 8/31/22 and email of 9/6/22. In this regard, we are continuing with our plan for the CAA section 114 information request to SunCoke, but with the following modifications:

We accept SunCoke's offer to use the upcoming bypass event at Haverhill due to flue gas desulfurization maintenance to meet some of SunCoke's CAA section 114 testing obligations of bypass stacks. We agree that three valid runs for each pollutant is sufficient. However, in order to accept the bypass stack testing at Haverhill scheduled for late September, the volume collected will need to meet the specification of the CAA section 114 request, as follows: 3 dscm for particulate matter (PM), metals, and acid gas testing, as opposed to the approximate test volumes of 2 dscm, 1.3 dscm and 1 dscm, respectively, that were mentioned in Attachment 1 of SunCoke's 8/31/22 letter. The PM may be collected separate from or simultaneously with either the EPA method 29 metals sampling or the EPA method 26A sampling train. Since the contractor is currently performing continuous emissions monitoring testing (EPA methods 6C and 7E for SO2 and NOx, and possibly method 3A for O2 and CO2), we request that the carbon monoxide (CO) testing by EPA method 10 also be performed at the same time, since CO gases are readily available, and the addition of the CO monitoring will not require any additional personnel or any additional time beyond calibration of the analyzer. This testing then would meet all of the testing obligations for SO2, NOx, and CO, as required in the CAA section 114 request. Additional testing, minimally, for PM, metals, formaldehyde, acid gases (HCL and HF), and HCN are still necessary. Therefore, we strongly recommend that SunCoke also test for these pollutants in September 2022 at the Haverhill facility to obtain a minimum of 3 valid test runs for each pollutant. We recommend more runs, if possible, in order to obtain a more robust data set, but understand that may not be possible. The required testing for the bypass stack can be added to the upcoming Haverhill testing (in lieu of testing at the Jewell facility described in our June 28, 2022 CAA section 114 request) at the sample volumes required by Enclosure 2 of the CAA section 114 request. The testing for dioxin/furans and VOHAP are lower priority and can be completed at a later date at the Jewell Coke facility, if necessary.

Per SunCoke's request for alternative sampling and analysis of the Enclosure 2 Table 3 coke oven gas sampling, if it is not feasible to test prior to the HRSG, the Enclosure 2 Table 3 tests are no longer required. If the coke oven gas can be sampled prior to the HRSG, EPA method TO-15 is not an applicable solution because it is an ambient air method. The methods in Table 3 should be used. The use of a passivated evacuated canister is appropriate for sampling the coke oven gas, although the EPA recommends that, in order to prevent condensation in the canister, the canister not be filled completely, and a partial vacuum maintained on the canister.
We also considered the previous fugitive data obtained from Haverhill over the period 2004-2014, as SunCoke requested. However, because of the age of the data and how these (and other) measurement approaches (e.g., method 325A/B) are being applied in this sector now as part of EPA's section 114 request efforts, we must request current fugitive sampling, as follows:

o        Testing should include EPA methods 325A&B, and TO-13A and 15, as described in the original CAA section 114 request (dated June 28, 2022).
o        No interior fugitive tests are required.
o        The fugitive monitoring plan is due to EPA 30 days from the date of this email.
o        Fugitive monitoring must begin within 40 days of the date EPA approves the monitoring plan (typically less than a 2-week EPA turn around).
o        Nine (9) weeks of fugitive monitoring must be performed and the resulting data submitted within 110 days from the date that EPA approves the monitoring plan. The EPA is permitting the reduced fenceline monitoring requirements in recognition of the previous monitoring efforts at/near the facility.

::        We accept SunCoke's proposed schedule for Enclosure 1 information from the SunCoke August 31, 2022, letter for submitting the information from Jewel (Vansant) and Haverhill (Franklin Furnace).

Let me know if you have any further questions. We greatly appreciate your help with our test request.

Katie,
Table 3 in Enclosure 2 requires collection of three gas-phase mercury samples and three BTEX samples from the HRSG inlet or outlet.  Because of the high temperature of the gas stream at the HRSG inlet, it will be most practical to collect these samples from the HRSG outlet.  Table 3 specifies GPA Standard 2286 (2014) for BTEX analysis; however this method is specifically intended for compositional analysis of natural gas samples by GC.  The gas stream downstream of the HRSG is essentially flue gas (not like natural gas at all).  Table 3 of Enclosure 2 also does not specify a BTEX sample collection method.  AECOM suggests that samples for BTEX at the HRSG outlet be collected in evacuated canisters and analyzed using EPA Compendium Method TO15, this approach and GC analytical method being more suitable for the overall composition of the exhaust gas.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing
Manufacturing apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that
manufacture asphalt roofing products or oxidized asphalt that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are collocated at major
sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (November 21,
2001). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLLLL.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Asphalt processing and asphalt
roofing manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart LLLLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $472,000 (per year), which includes $20,000
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
change in the burden and cost estimates is due to more accurate
estimates of existing sources based on EPA's recent re-evaluation of
the source category inventory, which indicated that several facilities
have shut down since the last ICR renewal period. These changes result
in an overall decrease in the labor hours and O&M costs.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2013-0345; Airspace Docket No. 13-AEA-6]

Amendment of Class E Airspace; Factoryville, PA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E Airspace at Factoryville, PA, as
the Lake Henry VORTAC has been decommissioned and new standard
instrument approach procedures developed for Instrument Flight Rules
(IFR) operations at Seamans Field Airport. This enhances the safety and
management of aircraft operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, October 17, 2013. 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 7400.9 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On May 29, 2013, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class E airspace at Seamans
Field Airport, Factoryville, PA, (78 FR, 32212). 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 7400.9W dated August 8, 2012, and effective September 15,
2012, 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.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within an 11 mile radius of Seamans Field Airport,
Factoryville, PA. Airspace reconfiguration is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Lake Henry VORTAC and cancellation of the VOR
approach, and for continued safety and management of IFR operations at
the airport.
    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.
    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 controlled airspace at Seamans Field Airport,
Factoryville, PA.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. 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.
