Amendment 39-17810; AD 2014-06-06]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; SOCATA Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for SOCATA
Model TBM 700 airplanes. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as landing
gear actuator rod and piston becoming unscrewed during operation and
the landing gear actuator ball joint becoming uncrimped. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD is effective May 2, 2014.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of May 2, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to add an AD that would apply to SOCATA Model TBM 700
airplanes. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on December
4, 2013 (78 FR 72834). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe
condition for the specified products and was based on mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country. The MCAI states:

    During maintenance check, possible unscrewing of rod and piston
during operation was detected on a landing gear actuator.
Investigation showed that this was likely caused by maintenance
operation not conforming with the procedure described in the SOCATA
maintenance manual.
    Moreover, following in-service landing gear collapse, uncrimping
of a right hand main landing gear (MLG) actuator ball joint was
detected. Investigation revealed a manufacturing non-conformity of
some actuator rod end assemblies.
    These conditions, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
MLG or nose landing gear (NLG) failure during landing or roll-out
and consequent damage to the aeroplane and injury to occupants.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, SOCATA issued
Service Bulletin (SB) 70-197-32 to require a one-time inspection of
the landing gear actuator piston/rod and SB 70-206-32 to require a
one-time inspection of the landing gear actuator ball joint
centering and, depending on findings, accomplishment of corrective
actions.
    SOCATA also developed modification 70-0334-32, embodied in
production to secure rod/piston assembly through addition of a pin
and to reduce retraction/extension indication failure through
improvement of switch kinematics. These modified actuators have a
new part number (P/N).
    For the reasons described above, this AD requires a one-time
inspection of the landing gear actuators piston/rod and ball joint
centering and, depending on findings, accomplishment of applicable
corrective actions.

    The MCAI can be found in the AD docket on the Internet at: http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=FAA-2013-1019-0002.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comment

received on the proposal and the FAA's response to the comment.

Reference Correction Within the Actions and Compliance Section

    Catherine Herau of DAHER-SOCATA requested we change the service
information references in paragraph (f) of this AD in the Actions and
Compliance section to clarify the AD.
    We agree with the commenter and changed our final rule AD action to
reference the Accomplishment Instructions section of the service
information rather than the specific paragraph.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 495 products of U.S. registry.
We also estimate that it would take about 2 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $85 per work-hour.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $84,150, or $170 per product.
    In addition, we estimate that any necessary follow-on actions would
take about 3 work-hours for each main landing gear and 3 work-hours for
the nose landing gear, and require parts costing $100 for each rod and
assembly. We have no way of determining the number of products that may
need these actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating it in Docket No. FAA-
2013-1019; or in person at the Docket Management Facility between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. The AD
docket contains the NPRM (78 FR 72834, December 4, 2013), the
regulatory evaluation, any comments received, and other information.

NLG and LH and RH MLG actuators and measure the ball joint mismatch
following the Accomplishment Instructions in DAHER-SOCATA Mandatory
Service Bulletin SB 70-206, dated April 2013.
    (3) If any discrepancy is found during any inspection required
in paragraphs (f)(1) or (f)(2) of this AD, before further flight,
replace the affected actuator or rod end assembly if applicable with
an airworthy part following the applicable Accomplishment
Instructions in DAHER-SOCATA Mandatory Service Bulletin SB 70-197,
dated April 2013; and/or DAHER-SOCATA Mandatory Service Bulletin SB
70-206, dated April 2013.
    (4) As of May 2, 2014 (the effective date of this AD), do not
install on any airplane a landing gear actuator P/N T700A3230050000,
P/N T700A323005000000, or P/N T700A323005300000, unless it is found
to be in compliance with the inspection requirements of paragraphs
(f)(1) and (f)(2) of this AD. The landing gear actuator must be
installed when doing these inspections.

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Nasdaq BX, Inc.; Notice of Filing
and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Extend the
Current Pilot Program Related to BX Rule 11890

October 18, 2019.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 15, 2019, Nasdaq BX, Inc. (``BX'' or ``Exchange'') filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the
proposed rule change as described in Items I and II below, which Items
have been prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this
notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to extend the current pilot program related
to BX Rule 11890, Clearly Erroneous Transactions six months, to the
close of business on April 20, 2020.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
website at http://nasdaqbx.cchwallstreet.com/, at the principal office
of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to extend the current
pilot program related to Rule 11890, Clearly Erroneous Transactions, to
the close of business on April 20, 2020. This change is being proposed
to allow the Exchange to further consider a permanent proposal for
clearly erroneous execution reviews.
    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, on a pilot basis,
changes to Rule 11890 that, among other things: (i) Provided for
uniform treatment of clearly erroneous[thinsp]execution reviews in
multi-stock events involving twenty or more securities; and (ii)
reduced the ability of the Exchange to deviate from the objective
standards set forth in the rule.\3\ In 2013, the Exchange adopted a
provision designed to address the operation of the Plan.\4\ Finally, in
2014, the Exchange adopted two additional provisions providing that:
(i) A series of transactions in a particular security on one or more
trading days may be viewed as one event if all such transactions were
effected based on the same fundamentally incorrect or grossly
misinterpreted issuance information resulting in a severe valuation
error for all such transactions; and (ii) in the event of any
disruption or malfunction in the operation of the electronic
communications and trading facilities of an Exchange, another SRO, or
responsible single plan processor in connection with the transmittal or
receipt of a trading halt, an Officer, acting on his or her own motion,
shall nullify any transaction that occurs after a trading halt has been
declared by the primary listing market for a security and before such
trading halt has officially ended according to the primary listing
market.\5\ These changes are currently scheduled to operate for a pilot
period that concludes on October 18, 2019.\6\

    If the pilot period is not either extended, replaced or approved as
permanent, the prior versions of paragraphs (a)(2)(C), (c)(1), (b)(i),
and (b)(ii) shall be in effect, and the

provisions of paragraphs (g) through (i) shall be null and void.\7\ In
such an event, the remaining sections of Rule 11890 would continue to
apply to all transactions executed on the Exchange. The Exchange
understands that the other national securities exchanges and Financial
Industry Regulatory Authority (``FINRA'') will also file similar
proposals to extend their respective clearly erroneous execution pilot
programs, the substance of which are identical to Rule 11890.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See notes 3--6, supra. The prior versions of paragraphs
(a)(2)(C), (c)(1), (b)(i), and (b)(ii) generally provided greater
discretion to the Exchange with respect to breaking erroneous
trades.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange does not propose any additional changes to Rule 11890.
The Exchange believes the benefits to market participants from the more
objective clearly erroneous executions rule should continue on a
limited six month pilot basis after the current expiration date to
allow the Exchange to continue to assess whether additional changes
should also be made to the operation of the clearly erroneous execution
rules. Extending the effectiveness of Rule 11890 for an additional six
months should provide the Exchange, other national securities exchanges
and FINRA additional time to consider further amendments to the clearly
erroneous execution rules.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of Section 6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it is designed to remove
impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market and
a national market system, to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest
and not to permit unfair discrimination between customers, issuers,
brokers, or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change promotes just
and equitable principles of trade in that it promotes transparency and
uniformity across markets concerning review of transactions as clearly
erroneous. The Exchange believes that extending the clearly erroneous
execution pilot under Rule 11890 for an additional six months would
help assure that the determination of whether a clearly erroneous trade
has occurred will be based on clear and objective criteria, and that
the resolution of the incident will occur promptly through a
transparent process. The proposed rule change would also help assure
consistent results in handling erroneous trades across the U.S.
equities markets, thus furthering fair and orderly markets, the
protection of investors and the public interest. Based on the
foregoing, the Exchange believes the amended Clearly Erroneous
Transactions rule should continue to be in effect on a pilot basis
while the Exchange, other national securities exchanges and FINRA
consider a permanent proposal for clearly erroneous execution reviews.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change would
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposal would ensure
the continued, uninterrupted operation of harmonized clearly erroneous
execution rules across the U.S. equities markets while the Exchange,
other national securities exchanges and FINRA consider further
amendments to these rules. The Exchange understands that the other
national securities exchanges and FINRA will also file similar
proposals to extend their respective clearly erroneous execution pilot
programs. Thus, the proposed rule change will help to ensure
consistency across market centers without implicating any competitive
issues.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change does not: (i)
Significantly affect the protection of investors or the public
interest; (ii) impose any significant burden on competition; and (iii)
become operative for 30 days from the date on which it was filed, or
such shorter time as the Commission may designate, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along
with a brief description and text of the proposed rule change, at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    A proposed rule change filed under Rule 19b-4(f)(6) \12\ normally
does not become operative prior to 30 days after the date of the
filing. However, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii) \13\ permits the Commission to
designate a shorter time if such action is consistent with the
protection of investors and the public interest. The Exchange has asked
the Commission to waive the 30-day operative delay so that the proposed
rule change may become effective and operative immediately upon filing.
The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay is
consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest, as
it will allow the current clearly erroneous execution pilot program to
continue uninterrupted, without any changes, while the Exchange and the
other national securities exchanges consider a permanent proposal for
clearly erroneous execution reviews. For this reason, the Commission
hereby waives the 30-day operative delay and designates the proposed
rule change as operative upon filing.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii).
    \14\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule change should be approved or
disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Transportation conformity is required under Clean Air Act
section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) to ensure that federally supported
transportation activities are consistent with (``conform to'') the
purpose of the state air quality implementation plan (SIP).
Transportation activities include transportation plans, transportation
improvement programs (TIPs), and federally funded or approved highway
or transit projects. Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means that
transportation activities will not cause or contribute to new air
quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely
attainment of the relevant national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS or ``standards'') or interim milestones.
    Transportation conformity applies under EPA's conformity
regulations at 40 CFR parts 51 and 93, subpart A, to areas that are
designated nonattainment, and those redesignated to attainment after
1990 (``maintenance areas'' with plans developed under Clean Air Act
section 175A) for the following transportation-related criteria
pollutants: Ozone, particulate matter (PM2.5 and
PM10), carbon monoxide (CO), and nitrogen dioxide
(NO2). EPA published the original transportation conformity
rule on November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62188), and subsequently published
several revisions. EPA develops the conformity regulations in
coordination with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal
Transit Administration (FTA).
    Transportation conformity determinations are required before
federal approval or funding is given to certain types of transportation
planning documents as well as non-exempt highway and transit
projects.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Some projects are exempt from all or certain conformity
requirements; see 40 CFR 93.126, 93.127, and 93.128.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA considered the following in renewing the existing ICR:
     Burden estimates for transportation conformity
determinations (including both regional and project-level) in current
nonattainment and maintenance areas for the ozone, PM2.5,
PM10, and CO NAAQS;
     Federal burden associated with EPA's adequacy review
process for submitted SIP motor vehicle emissions budgets that are to
be used in conformity determinations;
     Efficiencies in areas making conformity determinations for
multiple NAAQS;
     Differences in conformity resource needs in large and
small metropolitan areas and isolated rural areas;
     Reduced burden from areas no longer determining conformity
for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS due to revocation; \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 81 FR 58010 (published on August 24, 2016 and effective
October 24, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Reduced burden from areas completing 20 years of
maintenance for PM10, NO2 and CO NAAQS, at which
time transportation conformity is no longer required; and,
     Increased burden due to areas being designated as
nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 83 FR 25776 (effective August 3, 2018) and 83 FR 35136
(effective September 24, 2018) for San Antonio, Texas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This ICR does not include burden associated with the general
development of transportation planning

and air quality planning documents for meeting other federal
requirements.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), state
departments of transportation, local transit agencies, and state and
local air quality agencies. Federal agencies potentially affected by
this action include FHWA, FTA, and EPA.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory pursuant to Clean Air
Act section 176(c) (42 U.S.C. 7506(c)) and 40 CFR parts 51 and 93.
    Estimated number of respondents: EPA estimates that 109 MPOs will
be subject to transportation conformity requirements during the period
covered by this ICR and that EPA Regional Offices, the FHWA, and FTA
will be involved in interagency consultation, and review of
transportation-related conformity determinations performed by MPOs
during this process. EPA also estimates that similar consultation will
occur for projects in isolated rural areas.
    Frequency of response: The information collections described in
this ICR must be completed before a transportation plan, TIP, or
project conformity determination is made. The Clean Air Act requires
conformity to be determined for transportation plans and TIPs every
four years. Conformity determinations on projects in metropolitan and
isolated rural areas are required on an as-needed basis.
    Total estimated burden: 35,344 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,247,525 (per year), includes zero
annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 15,214 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to less burden associated with
decreased conformity analyses for PM10, CO, 1997
PM2.5, and NO2 NAAQS and a decrease in burden
over the previous ICR for reduced emissions model transition and
training burden.

suggest alternatives.
    vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of
profanity or personal threats.
    viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

II. Background

A. What Action is the Agency Taking?

    Under section 4 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA is reevaluating existing pesticides to
ensure that they meet current scientific and regulatory standards.
Using a modified, streamlined version of its public participation
process, EPA has completed a RED and an Amendment for the low-risk
naphthalene acetate pesticides under section 4(g)(2)(A) of FIFRA. The
naphthalene acetates are plant growth regulators that mimic the
function of the naturally occurring plant growth hormone, auxin. They
are mainly used on apple and pear trees but also have minor uses on
crops such as olives and cherries. They are also used on a wide variety
of ornamental plants, trees, and shrubs. In its various forms, NAA can
stimulate root growth, thin excess fruit, and prevent premature fruit
drop. EPA has determined that the database to support reregistration is
substantially complete and that products containing naphthalene acetic
acid, its salts, ester, and acetamide will be eligible for
reregistration provided the risks are mitigated either in the manner
described in the RED Amendment or by another means that achieves
equivalent risk reduction. Upon submission of any required product
specific data under section 4(g)(2)(B) of FIFRA and any necessary
changes to the registration and labeling (either to address any
concerns identified in the RED Amendment or as a result of product
specific data), EPA will make a final reregistration decision under
section 4(g)(2)(C) of FIFRA for products containing naphthalene
acetates.
    With the May 26, 2004 RED signature, EPA concluded that the use of
the naphthalene acetates would have no effect on any endangered or
threatened species or their critical habitat from the uses currently
registered based on its screening-level assessment. However, the Agency
was informed that one very minor use, on olive trees as a chemical
thinning agent, has an approved application rate higher than assessed
in the RED. Based on screening-level ecological and occupational
assessments of the higher use rate, calculated risk quotients (RQs) for
NAA use on olive trees then exceeded the level of concern for
endangered species and one worker exposure scenario exceeds the
occupational level of concern. The Agency performed a refined risk
assessment with additional data, which allowed EPA to characterize the
risks and determine that risks were at an acceptable level. The Agency
is issuing an Amended RED for NAA, which reflects the refined
occupational and ecological assessments.
    In addition, certain components of the document, which did not
affect the final regulatory decision, were undergoing final editing at
the time of the RED's signature. These components, including the list
of additional generic data requirements, summary of labeling changes,
appendices, and other relevant information, have been added to the
naphthalene acetic acid, its salts, ester, and acetamide RED Amendment
document. Subsequent to signature, EPA identified some minor errors and
ambiguities in the original RED. Therefore, for the sake of accuracy,
the Agency also has included the appropriate error corrections and
clarifications to the RED Amendment. None of these additions or changes
impacts the decisions described in the NAA RED or its Amendment. These
changes are described in the preamble to the naphthalene acetic acid,
its salts, ester, and acetamide RED Amendment.
    EPA is applying the principles of public participation to all
pesticides undergoing reregistration and tolerance reassessment. The
Agency's Pesticide Tolerance Reassessment and Reregistration; Public
Participation Process, published in the Federal Register on May 14,
2004, (69 FR 26819) (FRL-7357-9) explains that in conducting these
programs, the Agency is tailoring its public participation process to
be commensurate with the level of risk, extent of use, complexity of
issues, and degree of public concern associated with each pesticide.
EPA can expeditiously reach decisions for pesticides like the
naphthalene acetates, which pose few risk concerns, and require little
risk mitigation. Once EPA assesses uses and risks for such low risk
pesticides, the Agency may go directly to a decision and prepare a
document summarizing its findings, such as the naphthalene acetic acid,
its salts, ester, and acetamide RED and its Amendment.
    The reregistration program is being conducted under congressionally
mandated timeframes, and EPA recognizes the need both to make timely
decisions and to involve the public in finding ways to effectively
mitigate pesticide risks. NAA, however, poses few risks that require
mitigation. The Agency therefore is issuing the naphthalene acetic
acid, its salts, ester, and acetamide RED and Amendment, its risk
assessments, and related support materials simultaneously for public
comment. The comment period is intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for initiating any additional amendments
to the RED. All comments should be submitted using the methods in
ADDRESSES, and must be received by EPA on or before the closing date.
These comments will become part of the Agency Docket for naphthalene
acetic acid, its salts, ester, and acetamide. Comments received after
the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not
required to consider these late comments.
    EPA will carefully consider all comments received by the closing
date and will provide a Response to Comments Memorandum in the Docket
and regulations.gov. If any comment significantly affects the document,
EPA also will publish an amendment to the RED in the Federal Register.
In the absence of substantive comments requiring changes, the
naphthalene acetic acid, its salts, ester, and acetamide RED as amended
will be implemented as it is now presented.

B. What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

    Section 4(g)(2) of FIFRA, as amended, directs that, after
submission of all data concerning a pesticide active ingredient, ``the
Administrator shall determine whether pesticides containing such active
ingredient are eligible for reregistration,'' before calling in product
specific data on individual end-use products and either reregistering

products or taking other ``appropriate regulatory action.''

MEMORANDUM

TO:		Board of Environmental Protection

FROM:	Jeffrey S. Crawford, Bureau of Air Quality

DATE:	November 14, 2007

RE:	State Implementation Plan (SIP) Submittals- Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)
Plans.

************************************************************************
******

Statutory and Regulatory Reference:

	A.	Statutory authority.

38 MRSA Section 585-A provides that the Board of Environmental
Protection "may establish and amend regulations to implement ambient air
quality standards and emission standards.  These regulations shall be
designed to achieve and maintain ambient air quality standards and
emission standards within any region and prevent air pollution."

 Section 107(a) of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAA) provides that
“Each State shall have the primary responsibility for assuring air
quality within the entire geographic area comprising such State by
submitting an implementation plan for such State which will specify the
manner in which national ambient primary and secondary ambient air
quality standards will be achieved and maintained within each air
quality control region in such State."

Section 110 of the CAA provides that each state shall, after reasonable
notice and public hearing, adopt and submit a plan which provides for
the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of national ambient air
quality standards.  This plan, known as a State Implementation Plan
(SIP) consists of the regulations and planning documents a state has
developed to meet these air quality standards.  As the rulemaking body
of the Department of Environmental Protection, the Board may hold public
hearings, and has traditionally been responsible for approving
non-regulatory SIP submittals.

	B.	Specific legal mandates requiring adoption.

Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA requires each state to adopt a SIP
within three years after promulgation of a national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) containing adequate provisions:

Prohibiting, consistent with the provisions of this title, any source or
other type of emissions activity within the State from emitting any air
pollutant in amounts which will

contribute significantly to nonattainment in, or interfere with
maintenance by, any other State with respect to any such national
ambient air quality standard, or

interfere with measures required to be included in the applicable
implementation plan for any other State under part C to prevent
significant deterioration of air quality or to protect visibility.

Location/Applicability:

The proposed SIP amendments apply statewide.

Description:

On July 16, 1997, EPA issued updated final air quality standards for
8-hour ozone and PM2.5.    Due to litigation, there were significant
delays in the implementation of the new standards and associated
planning efforts by both EPA and the states, including section
110(a)(2)(D)(i) submittals.  On April 25, 2005, EPA published a finding
that States had failed to make the required section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) SIP
submissions pertaining to the interstate transport of ozone and PM2.5.
The finding of failure to submit action requires EPA to issue a final
Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) to meet the requirements of section
100(a)(2)(D)(i) for both the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 standards unless EPA
approves a state SIP submission to meet those requirements.

Using air quality data analysis techniques and air quality modeling
conducted by EPA in support of the Clean Air Interstate Rule, this SIP
revision demonstrates that emissions from Maine do not contribute
significantly to other state’s nonattainment or interfere with
maintenance of the 8-hour ozone or PM2.5 NAAQS, or otherwise interfere
with visibility protection or other state’s efforts to prevent
significant deterioration of air quality.

Environmental Issues:

Ground level ozone is responsible for exacerbating a variety of
respiratory ailments, such as asthma.  Although children, the elderly
and those with respiratory problems are most at risk, even healthy
individuals may experience increased respiratory ailments and other
symptoms when they are exposed to ambient ozone while engaged in
activity that involves physical exertion.  Though these symptoms are
often temporary, repeated exposure could result in permanent lung
damage.

Fine particulates, or PM2.5,  also pose a significant public health
threat, with health effects including premature death and increased
hospital admissions and emergency room visits (primarily the elderly and
individuals with cardiopulmonary disease); increased respiratory
symptoms and disease (children and individuals with cardiopulmonary
disease such as asthma); decreased lung function (particularly in
children and individuals with asthma); and alterations in lung tissue
and structure and in respiratory tract defense mechanisms.

Departmental Recommendation:

The Department recommends that the Board post the proposed SIP
amendments to a 30-day public comment period with opportunity to request
a public hearing.

Estimated Time of Presentation:

15 minutes.

 Particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 microns.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2012-0032]

Commercial Driver's License Standards: Application for Exemption;
Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler)

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of application for exemption renewal; request for
comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces that Daimler Trucks North America (Daimler)
has requested a renewal of an exemption for one commercial motor
vehicle (CMV) driver from the Federal requirement to hold a U.S.
commercial driver's license (CDL). Daimler requests a five-year
exemption for Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard, head of the Daimler Trucks and Bus
Division, who will test drive CMVs for Daimler within the United
States. Dr. Bernhard holds a valid German commercial license and wants
to test drive Daimler vehicles on U.S. roads to better understand
product requirements in ``real world'' environments, and verify
results. Daimler believes the requirements for a German commercial
license ensure that operation under the exemption will likely achieve a
level of safety equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
obtained in the absence of the exemption.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 27, 2016.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments bearing the Federal Docket
Management System (FDMS) Docket ID FMCSA-2012-0032 using any of the

or envelope. FMCSA will consider all comments and material received
during the comment period and may grant or not grant this application
based on your comments.

II. Legal Basis

    FMCSA has authority under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 to grant
exemptions from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations. FMCSA
must publish a notice of each exemption request in the Federal Register
(49 CFR 381.315(a)). The Agency must provide the public an opportunity
to inspect the information relevant to the application, including any
safety analyses that have been conducted. The Agency must also provide
an opportunity for public comment on the request.
    The Agency reviews the safety analyses and the public comments, and
determines whether granting the exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety equivalent to, or greater than, the level that would be
achieved by the current regulation (49 CFR 381.305). The decision of
the Agency must be published in the Federal Register (49 CFR
381.315(b)) with the reason for the grant or denial, and, if granted,
the specific person or class of persons receiving the exemption, and
the regulatory provision or provisions from which exemption is granted.
The notice must also specify the effective period of the exemption (up
to 5 years), and explain the terms and conditions of the exemption. The
exemption may be renewed (49 CFR 381.300(b)).
    Section 5206(a)(2) of the ``Fixing America's Surface Transportation
Act,'' (FAST Act), effective October 1, 2015, permits exemptions for no
longer than five years from their dates of inception, instead of the
current two years. This statutory provision will be codified in 49 CFR
part 381 in a forthcoming rulemaking.

III. Request for Exemption

    Daimler requests a renewal of its exemption from 49 CFR 383.23,
which prescribes licensing requirements for drivers operating CMVs in
interstate or intrastate commerce, for the next five years for the
chief executive of its Truck and Bus Division. Section 5206(a)(2) of
the ``Fixing America's Surface Transportation Act,'' (FAST Act),
effective October 1, 2015, permits exemptions for no longer than five
years

from their dates of inception. This driver, Dr. Wolfgang Bernhard,
holds a valid German commercial license but is unable to obtain a CDL
in any of the U.S. States due to residency requirements. A copy of the
request for renewal, dated February 22 and 23, 2016, is in the docket
identified at the beginning of this notice.
    FMCSA initially granted an exemption to Dr. Bernhard on August 29,
2014 (79 FR 51641). This exemption was effective August 29, 2014, and
expires August 29, 2016. Detailed information about the qualifications
and experience of Dr. Bernhard was provided by Daimler in its original
application, a copy of which is in the docket. Renewal of the exemption
will enable Dr. Bernhard to operate CMVs in interstate or intrastate
commerce to support Daimler field tests designed to meet future vehicle
safety and environmental requirements and to promote technological
advancements in vehicle safety systems and emissions reductions. Dr.
Bernhard needs to drive Daimler vehicles on public roads to better
understand ``real world'' environments in the U.S. market. According to
Daimler, Dr. Bernhard will typically drive for no more than 6 hours per
day for 2 consecutive days, and that 10 percent of the test driving
will be on two-lane state highways, while 90 percent will be on
interstate highways. The driving will consist of no more than 200 miles
per day, for a total of 400 miles during a two-day period on a
quarterly basis. He will in all cases be accompanied by a holder of a
U.S. CDL who is familiar with the routes to be traveled.
    Daimler has explained in prior exemption requests that the German
knowledge and skills tests and training program ensure that Daimler's
drivers operating under the exemption will achieve a level of safety
that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level of safety obtained by
complying with the U.S. requirement for a CDL. Furthermore, according
to Daimler, Dr. Bernhard is familiar with the operation of CMVs
worldwide.

IV. Method To Ensure an Equivalent or Greater Level of Safety

    FMCSA has previously determined that the process for obtaining a
German commercial license is comparable to, or as effective as, the
requirements of part 383, and adequately assesses the driver's ability
to operate CMVs in the U.S. Since 2012, FMCSA has granted Daimler
drivers similar exemptions [May 25, 2012 (77 FR 31422); July 22, 2014
(79 FR 42626); March 27, 2015 (80 FR 16511); October 5, 2015 (80 FR
60220); December 7, 2015 (80 FR 76059); December 21, 2015 (80 FR
79410)].
