[EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0008; FRL-9991-99-Region 8]

National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List: Partial Deletion of OU2 of the Libby Asbestos
Superfund Site

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 8 announces
the deletion of the Operable Unit 2 (OU2), Former Screening Plant, of
the Libby Asbestos Superfund Site (Site) located in Libby, Montana from
the National Priorities List (NPL). The NPL, promulgated pursuant to
section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation,
and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the
National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP).
This partial deletion pertains to all of OU2. Operable Unit 1 (OU1),
Former Export Plant; Operable Unit 3 (OU3), Former Vermiculite Mine;
Operable Unit 4 and Operable Unit 7 (OU4/OU7), Residential/Commercial
Properties of Libby and Troy; Operable Unit 5 (OU5), Former Stimson
Lumber Mill; Operable Unit 6 (OU6), BNSF Rail Corridor; and Operable
Unit 8 (OU8), Highways and Roadways, are not being considered for
deletion as part of this action and will remain on the NPL. The EPA and
the State of Montana, through the Department of Environmental Quality
(DEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance, and five-year reviews,
have been completed. However, the deletion of these parcels does not
preclude future actions under Superfund.

DATES:  This action is effective April 10, 2019.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0008. All documents in the docket
are listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed
in the index, some information is not publicly available, i.e.,
Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure
is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are
available electronically in https://www.regulations.gov; by calling EPA
Region 8 at<PHONE_NUMBER> and leaving a message; and at the EPA Info
Center, 108 E 9th Street, Libby, MT 59923,<PHONE_NUMBER>, Monday
through Thursday from 8:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dania Zinner, Remedial Project
Manager, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 8, Mailcode EPR-
SR, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver, CO 80202-1129,<PHONE_NUMBER>, email
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The portion of the site to be deleted from
the NPL is: OU2 of the Libby Asbestos Superfund Site in Libby, Montana.
A Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion for this Site was published in
the Federal Register (84 FR 2122-2125) on February 6, 2019.
    The closing date for comments on the Notice of Intent for Partial
Deletion was March 8, 2019. One set of public comments was received.
The commenter does not object to the delisting; however, the commenter
would like the Operations and Maintenance plan to be reviewed and
updated. EPA commits to revising and updating the Operation and
Maintenance plan for OU2 when new information necessitates an update.
EPA activities completed at the site satisfy the NCP deletion criteria.
EPA believes the partial deletion of OU2 of the Libby Asbestos
Superfund Site from the NPL is appropriate. A responsiveness summary
was prepared and placed in both the docket, EPA-HQ-SFUND-2002-0008, on
www.regulations.gov, and in the local repositories listed above.
    EPA maintains the NPL as the list of sites that appear to present a
significant risk to public health, welfare, or the environment.
Deletion of a site from the NPL does not preclude further remedial
action. Whenever there is a significant release from a site deleted
from the NPL, the deleted site may be restored to the NPL without
application of the hazard ranking system. Deletion of portions of a
site from the NPL does not affect responsible party liability, in the
unlikely event that future conditions warrant further actions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Entity List provides notice to the public that certain exports,
reexports, and transfers (in-country) to parties identified on the
Entity List require a license from the Bureau of Industry and Security
(BIS) and that availability of license exceptions in such transactions
is limited. Persons are placed on the Entity List on the basis of
certain sections of part 744 (Control Policy: End-User and End-Use
Based) of the EAR.
    The End-User Review Committee (ERC), composed of representatives of
the Departments of Commerce (Chair), State, Defense, Energy and, where
appropriate, the Treasury, makes all decisions regarding additions to,
removals from or changes to the Entity List. The ERC makes all
decisions to add an entry to the Entity List by majority vote and all
decisions to remove or modify an entry by unanimous vote.

ERC Entity List Decisions

    The ERC made a determination to add fifteen persons under sixteen
entries to the Entity List on the basis of Sec.  744.11 (License
Requirements that Apply to Entities Acting Contrary to the National
Security or Foreign Policy Interests of the United States) of the EAR.
The sixteenth entry is to account for one person who has addresses in
both China and Hong Kong. The sixteen entries added to the Entity List
consist of one person in Armenia, two persons in China, seven persons
in Hong Kong, four persons in Malaysia and two persons in Singapore.
    The ERC reviewed Sec.  744.11(b) (Criteria for revising the Entity
List) in making the determination to add these persons to the Entity
List. Under that paragraph, entities for which there is reasonable
cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that the
entity has been involved, is involved, or poses a significant risk of
being or becoming involved in activities that are contrary to the
national security or foreign policy interests of the United States and
those acting on behalf of such entities may be added to the Entity List
pursuant to Sec.  744.11.
    Paragraph (b) of Sec.  744.11 includes an illustrative list of
activities that could be contrary to the national security or foreign
policy interests of the United States. This illustrative list of
activities of concern is described under paragraphs (b)(1)-(b)(5). The
persons being added to the Entity List under this rule have been
determined by the ERC to be involved in activities that could be
contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the
United States.

Additions to the Entity List

    This rule implements the decision of the ERC to add fifteen persons
under sixteen entries to the Entity List on the basis of Sec.  744.11
of the EAR. For all of the fifteen persons added to the Entity List,
the ERC specifies a license requirement for all items subject to the
EAR and establishes a license application review policy of a
presumption of denial. The license requirement applies to any
transaction in which items are to be exported, reexported or
transferred (in-country) to such persons or in which such persons act
as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user.
In addition, no license exceptions are available for shipments to those
persons being added to the Entity List.
    Specifically, this rule adds the following fifteen persons under
sixteen entries to the Entity List:

end-user of the items. This listing of these persons also prohibits the
use of License Exceptions (see part 740 of the EAR) for exports,
reexports and transfers (in-country) of items subject to the EAR
involving such persons.

Amendment to the Entity List

    This rule also amends one Iranian entry currently on the Entity
List by adding an additional address for the person listed, as follows:
Iran
    (1) Arash Dadgar, No. 10, 64th St., Yousafabad, Tehran, Iran,
14638, and Unit 11, No. 35 South Iranshahr St, Tehran, Iran.

Savings Clause

    Shipments of items removed from eligibility for a License Exception
or export or reexport without a license (NLR) as a result of this
regulatory action that were on dock for loading, on lighter, laden
aboard an exporting or reexporting carrier, or en route aboard a
carrier to a port of export or reexport, on January 13, 2010, pursuant
to actual orders for export or reexport to a foreign destination, may
proceed to that destination under the previous eligibility for a
License Exception or export or reexport without a license (NLR) so long
as they are exported or reexported before February 12, 2010. Any such
items not actually exported or reexported before midnight, on February
12, 2010, require a license in accordance with this rule.
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 13,
2009, 74 FR 41325 (August 14, 2009), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. This rule has been determined to be not significant for purposes
of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to nor be subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with a collection of information, subject to the requirements of
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number. This regulation involves
collections previously approved by the OMB under control numbers 0694-
0088, ``Multi-Purpose Application,'' which carries a burden hour
estimate of 58 minutes to prepare and submit form BIS-748.
Miscellaneous and recordkeeping activities account for 12 minutes per
submission. Total burden hours associated with the Paperwork Reduction
Act and Office and Management and Budget control number 0694-0088 are
expected to increase slightly as a result of this rule.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined in Executive Order 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring notice of proposed rulemaking, the opportunity for
public participation, and a delay in effective date, are inapplicable
because this regulation involves a military or foreign affairs function
of the United States. (See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). Further, no other law
requires that a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment be given for this rule. Because a notice of proposed
rulemaking and an opportunity for public comment are not required to be
given for this rule by 5 U.S.C. 553, or by any other law, the
analytical requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601
et. seq., are not applicable.

Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operations; Speed
Limiting Devices

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

ACTION: Advance notice of supplemental proposed rulemaking.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its intent to proceed with a speed limiter
rulemaking by preparing a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(SNPRM) to follow up on the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's (NHTSA) and FMCSA's jointly issued September 7, 2016
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on this subject. The SNPRM will
propose that motor carriers operating commercial motor vehicles

(CMVs) in interstate commerce with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR)
or gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 11,794 kilograms or more (26,001
pounds or more), whichever is greater, that are equipped with an
electronic engine control unit (ECU) capable of governing the maximum
speed be required to limit the CMV to a speed to be determined by the
rulemaking and to maintain that ECU setting for the service life of the
vehicle. With this notice of intent, FMCSA requests public comments and
data regarding the adjustment or reprogramming of ECUs.

I. Background

    NHTSA and FMCSA jointly published in the Federal Register on
September 7, 2016, at (81 FR 61942) proposed regulations that would
require vehicles with a GVWR of more than 11,793.4 kilograms (26,000
pounds) to be equipped with a speed limiting device set to a maximum
speed to be specified in a final rule and would require motor carriers
operating such vehicles in interstate commerce to maintain functional
devices set to that speed for the service life of the vehicle (81 FR
61942).
    Specifically, NHTSA proposed to establish a new Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) requiring each vehicle with a GVWR of
more than 11,793.4 kilograms (26,000 pounds), as manufactured and sold,
to have its device set to a speed not greater than a specified speed
and to be equipped with means of reading the vehicle's current speed
setting and the two previous speed settings (including the time and
date the settings were changed) through its on-board diagnostic
connection.
    FMCSA proposed a complementary Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulation (FMCSR) requiring each multipurpose passenger vehicle,
truck, and bus and school bus with a GVWR of more than 11,793.4
kilograms (26,000 pounds) \1\ to be equipped with a speed limiting
device meeting the requirements of the proposed FMVSS applicable to the
vehicle at the time of manufacture, including the requirement that the
device be set to a speed not greater than a specified speed. Motor
carriers operating such vehicles in interstate commerce would be
required to maintain the speed limiting devices for the service life of
the vehicle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The jurisdictional definitions of GVW and GVWR applicable to
NHTSA regulations are slightly different from the FMCSA definitions
applicable to the SNPRM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At the time the 2016 NPRM was published, NHTSA and FMCSA stated
that all vehicles with electronic engine control units (ECUs) are
generally electronically speed governed to prevent engine or other
damage to the vehicle. This is because the ECU monitors an engine's RPM
(from which vehicle speed can be calculated) and also controls the
supply of fuel to the engine.

The NPRM stated that the information NHTSA analyzed indicated that ECUs
have been installed in most heavy trucks since 1999, although the
Agency was aware that some manufacturers were still installing
mechanical controls through 2003 (81 FR 61947). Based on this
background, it is likely the required means of achieving compliance
with a speed limiter requirement would be to use the ECU to govern the
speed of the vehicle rather than installing a mechanical means of doing
so.
    The Fall 2021 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory
Actions,\2\ published December 10, 2021, lists both speed limiter
rules, from NHTSA (Regulation Identification Number 2127-AK92) and
FMCSA (Regulation Identification Number 2126-AB63), as long-term
actions. This notice informs the public that FMCSA intends to move
forward with a separate motor carrier-based speed limiter rulemaking.
FMCSA believes that placing the requirement on motor carriers will
ensure compliance with the rule, and potentially avoid confusion on who
is responsible. FMCSA believes the requirements can be met by the motor
carriers but asks questions below to validate that approach. FMCSA will
continue to consult with NHTSA during the development of this rule. If
necessary, NHTSA will evaluate the need for additional regulatory
actions concerning CMV manufacturer requirements to address issues
raised during implementation that are beyond the scope of FMCSA's
authority.

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

FMCSA Intention

    FMCSA intends to issue an SNPRM that would, if adopted, impose
speed limitations on certain CMVs subject to the FMCSRs. The rulemaking
would propose that motor carriers operating certain commercial motor
vehicles, as defined in 49 CFR 390.5, in interstate commerce that are
equipped with an ECU capable of setting speed limits be required to
limit the CMV to a speed to be determined by the rulemaking and to
maintain that limit for the service life of the vehicle. The agency is
considering making the rule only applicable to CMVs manufactured after
a certain date, such as 2003, because this is the population of
vehicles for which ECUs were routinely installed and may potentially be
used to govern the speed of the vehicles. FMCSA seeks data below, to
determine if that approach should be revised in the forthcoming SNPRM.
The agency is considering whether a retrofit requirement would be
necessary and requests information below.
    FMCSA is not yet proposing regulatory language to amend the FMCSRs
in this notice. FMCSA does, however, solicit comments on the questions
listed in Section II. REQUEST FOR PUBLIC COMMENTS, which will assist in
the development of the SNPRM.

II. Request for Public Comments

    FMCSA requests comments on the programming or adjustment of ECUs
that could be made to impose speed limits on CMVs, including responses
to the questions below.

General Questions: Setting and Maintaining ECUs

    1. What percentage of the CMV fleet currently uses speed limiting
devices?
    2. If in use, at what maximum speed are the devices generally set?
    3. What skill sets or training are needed for motor carriers'
maintenance personnel to adjust or program ECUs to set speed limits?
    4. What tools or equipment are needed to adjust or program ECUs?
    5. How long would adjustment or reprogramming of an ECU take?
    6. Where can the adjustment or reprogramming of an ECU be
completed?
    6.a. Can the adjustment or reprogramming of an ECU be made on-site
where the vehicle is ordinarily housed or garaged, or would it have to
be completed at a dealership?
    7. Do responses to questions 3 through 6 change based on the model
year of the power unit?
    8. Since publication of the NPRM, how has standard practice or
technology changed as it relates to the ability to set speed limits
using ECUs?
    9. Are there any challenges or burdens associated with FMCSA
publishing a rule without NHTSA updating the FMVSS?
    10. Should FMCSA revisit using the 2003 model year as the baseline
requirement for the rule?
    11. Should FMCSA consider a retrofit requirement in the rule and,
if so, should it be based on model year or other criteria, and what
would the cost of such a requirement be?
    12. Should FMCSA include Classes 3-6 (i.e., 10,001-26,001 lbs.
GVWR) in the SNPRM?

Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) will conduct the
International Oil Spill Conference On-Water and Aerial Technical
Demonstration on the Savannah River, near the Westin Resort, located in
Savannah, Georgia.
    The proposed rule would establish a fixed safety zone for all
waters extending 1500 yards to either side of the vessels in the
display area, near the Westin Resort in Savannah, Georgia. The
International Oil Spill Conference On-Water and Aerial Technical
Demonstration will take place in the area of the Westin Resort, at
approximate position 32 4' 54.9'' N/081 5' 9.1'' W. All coordinates are
North American Datum 1983. The safety zone will be enforced on
Wednesday, May 7, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m. All persons and
vessels, except those persons and vessels participating in the
operation, are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring
in, or remaining within the safety zone. Persons and vessels may
request authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain
within the safety zone by contacting the Captain of the Port Savannah
by telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or a designated representative via VHF
radio on channel 16. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the designated area is granted by the Captain of
the Port Savannah or a designated representative, all persons and
vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions
of the Captain of the Port Savannah or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated area by Local Notice
to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners,

and on-scene designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on a number of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) The safety zone will only be enforced for a
total of three and one-half hours; (2) vessel traffic in the area is
expected to be minimal during the enforcement period; (3) although
persons and vessels will not be able to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the safety zone without authorization from the
Captain of the Port Savannah or a designated representative, they may
operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement period; (4)
persons and vessels may still enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the safety zone if authorized by the Captain of the Port
Savannah or a designated representative; and (5) the Coast Guard will
provide advance notification of the safety zone to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this
proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This proposed rule may affect the following entities, some of which
may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within that portion of the
Savannah River, Savannah, Georgia encompassed within the safety zone
during the International Oil Spill Conference On-Water and Aerial
Technical Demonstration on Wednesday, May 7, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. until
6:30 p.m. For the reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and
Review section above, this proposed rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this rule would have
a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment (see
ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to what
degree this rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the proposed rule
would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule will not call for a new collection of
information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-
3520.).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not cause a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This proposed rule is not an economically significant rule and
would not create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that
might disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This proposed rule is not a ``significant energy action'' under
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed
rule involves establishing a temporary safety zone that will be
enforced on Wednesday, May 7, 2014, from 3:00 p.m. until 6:30 p.m..
This proposed rule is categorically excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant environmental impact from this proposed rule.
