DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Notice of Release From Federal Surplus Property and Grant
Assurance Obligations at Ocotillo Airport, Ocotillo Wells, California

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Request to Release Airport Land.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) proposes to rule and
invites public comment on the

application for a release of approximately 0.25 acres of airport
property and granting of an access easement at the Ocotillo Airport
(Airport), Ocotillo Wells, California from all conditions contained in
the Surplus Property Deed and Grant Assurances because the parcel of
land is not needed for airport purposes. The land requested to be
released is located at the eastern perimeter of the airport. The
proposed access easement is through one of the Airport's Runway
Protection Zones (RPZ). Both the subject parcel and easement areas are
currently used as open space buffer zones. The subject parcel abuts
state park land which is intended to be used for primary access of the
subject parcel. The access easement will only be provided if state
parks changes the land use surrounding the Airport.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before December 26, 2017.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Comments on the request may be mailed
or delivered to the FAA at the following address: Lemuel del Castillo,
Federal Aviation Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office,
Federal Register Comment, 15000 Aviation Boulevard Room 3000, Lawndale,
CA 90261. In addition, one copy of the comment submitted to the FAA
must be mailed or delivered to Mr. Peter Drinkwater, Director of
Airports, County of San Diego--DPW, 1960 Joe Crosson Dr., El Cajon, CA
92020

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the Wendell H. Ford
Aviation Investment and Reform Act for the 21st Century (AIR 21),
Public Law 106-181 (Apr. 5, 2000; 114 Stat. 61), this notice must be
published in the Federal Register 30 days before the Secretary may
waive any condition imposed on a federally obligated airport by surplus
property conveyance deeds or grant agreements.
    The following is a brief overview of the request:
    The County of San Diego, Department of Public Works, requested a
release from Federal surplus property and grant assurance obligations
for approximately 0.25 acres of airport land to allow for its sale and
granting of an access easement. The property was originally acquired
pursuant to the Surplus Property Act of 1944 and was deeded to the
County of San Diego on August 17, 1956. The property is located in the
rural community of Ocotillo Wells, in San Diego County, California,
approximately 90 miles outside of downtown San Diego. The subject
parcel and access easement are unimproved and located outside a berm
surrounding the dry lake bed in which the airport's two runways are
located. The access easement would provide an entrance to the subject
parcel. This area is located along the eastern perimeter of the
Airport, through one of the Airport's Runway Protection Zones (RPZ).
Both areas are currently used as open space buffer zones, with a
portion of the Access Easement used as RPZ. The future use and highest
and best use would be expected to be the same as the current use. There
are no basic utilities available in the area. The subject parcel abuts
state park land which is intended to be used for primary access to the
subject parcel. The access easement will only be provided if state
parks changes the land use and access to the surrounding the Airport.
    The sale price of the parcel will be based on an appraisal at fair
market value. The sales proceeds that the County of San Diego will
receive will provide improvements at the Airport, including a transient
aircraft parking ramp and an informational kiosk. The sale of the
property will not interfere with the airport or its operation, thereby
serving the interests of civil aviation.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California, on November 16, 2017.

[Docket Number USCG-2020-0120]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, St.
Petersburg, Florida

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
the navigable waters of Tampa Bay, in the vicinity of the St.
Petersburg Municipal Yacht Basin, St. Petersburg, Florida during the
Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. The temporary safety zone is
needed to protect the safety of race participants, spectators, and
vessels on the surrounding waterway during the race. Persons and
vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in,
or remaining within the regulated area unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective daily from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. on
March 13, 2020 through March 15, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. The Coast Guard
received information regarding the need for a safety zone on February
6, 2020. Insufficient time remains to publish an NPRM and to receive
public comments, as the event will occur before the rulemaking process
would be completed. Because of the potential safety hazards associated
with the race, the regulations is necessary to provide for the safety
of race participants, spectators, and other vessels navigating the
surrounding waterways. For those reasons, it would be impracticable to
publish an NPRM.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. For the reasons discussed above,
the Coast Guard finds that good cause exists.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under the authority in 46
U.S.C. 70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port St.
Petersburg has determined that potential hazards associated with the
race, will be a safety concern for race participants, spectators, and
vessels. This rule is needed to ensure the safety of life for vessels
and persons within the navigable waters of the safety zone during the
Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Florida.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 6:00 a.m. on March 13,
2020 through 10:00 p.m. on March 15, 2020. The safety zone will cover
all navigable waters within a specified area of Tampa Bay, St.
Petersburg. The duration of the zone is intended to ensure the safety
of the public and designated navigable waters during the race event. No
vessel or person will be permitted to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative.
    Persons and vessels may request authorization to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated area by contacting
the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg 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 regulated area is granted by the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg
or a designated representative, all persons and vessels receiving such
authorization must comply with the instructions of the Captain of the
Port St. Petersburg or a designated representative. The Coast Guard
will provide notice of the safety zone by Local Notice to Mariners,
Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and/or on-scene designated
representatives.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, this rule has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt
from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration and available exceptions to the enforcement of the
safety zone. The safety zone will be enforced for a limited period of
time over the course of three days and is thus limited in duration. The
safety zone is limited to only those areas in which race events will be
occurring for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, Florida race
event and is thus limited in size. Although persons and vessels are
prohibited to enter, transit through,

anchor in, or remain within the regulated area without authorization
from the Captain of the Port St. Petersburg or a designated
representative, they may operate in the surrounding area during the
enforcement period. The rule allows for vessels to seek permission to
enter the safety zone. The Coast Guard will provide advance
notification of the safety zone to the local maritime community by
Local Notice to Mariners and/or Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    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 rule. If the 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.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

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

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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 rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does 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. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.

E. 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 rule would not result
in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series),
which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety zone lasting only 5 hours that
will prohibit entry within 700 feet wide by 2600 feet in length on the
waters of the Beaufort River in Beaufort, SC. It is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) in Table 3-1 of
U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1.
A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination
is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. 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.

107(d) of the CAA, the EPA must designate an area ``nonattainment'' if
it is violating the NAAQS or if it is contributing to a violation of
the NAAQS in a nearby area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 80 FR 65292 (October 26, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA designated 21 areas in California as nonattainment for the
2015 ozone NAAQS, effective August 3, 2018.\2\ Amador County, Calaveras
County, Butte County, Imperial County, Mariposa County, San Francisco
Bay Area, San Luis Obispo (Eastern part), Sutter Buttes, Tuolumne
County, and Tuscan Buttes nonattainment areas (NAAs) were classified as
Marginal nonattainment. Kern County (Eastern Kern), Nevada County
(Western part), Sacramento Metro, and San Diego County NAAs were
classified as Moderate nonattainment. The EPA classified the Ventura
County NAA as Serious nonattainment. The EPA classified the Los
Angeles-San Bernardino Counties (West Mojave Desert) and Riverside
County (Coachella Valley) NAAs as Severe-15 nonattainment. The EPA
classified both the San Joaquin Valley and the Los Angeles-South Coast
Air Basin (``South Coast'') NAAs as Extreme nonattainment. The EPA
designated the lands of the Pechanga Band of Luise[ntilde]o Mission
Indians of the Pechanga Reservation and the Morongo Band of Mission
Indians as separate NAAs and classified them as Marginal and Serious
nonattainment, respectively. The State of California does not have
regulatory authority on any Indian reservation land or in any other
area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 83 FR 25776 (June 4, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 182(e)(3) of the CAA provides that SIPs for Extreme ozone
nonattainment areas such as the San Joaquin Valley and South Coast
require each new, modified, and existing electric utility and
industrial and commercial boiler that emits more than 25 tons per year
(tpy) of NOX to either burn as its primary fuel natural gas,
methanol, or ethanol (or a comparably low-polluting fuel), or use
advanced control technology, such as catalytic control technologies or
other comparably effective control methods. Section 182(e)(3) also
requires submittal of a plan revision addressing this requirement to
the EPA within three years of the effective date of nonattainment
designation.
    On August 3, 2021, the California Air Resources Board (CARB)
submitted SIP revisions to the EPA for multiple nonattainment areas to
fulfill requirements under section 173 of the CAA for new source review
programs (NSR) and for section 182(e)(3) of the CAA requiring clean
fuels for boilers for Extreme NAAs.\3\ In this action, we are
evaluating and proposing action on the portion of the submittal related
to clean fuels for boilers for the San Joaquin Valley and South Coast
Extreme NAAs (``2021 Clean Fuels Submittal'').\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Letter dated August 3, 2021, from Richard W. Corey,
Executive Officer, CARB, to Deborah Jordan, Acting Regional
Administrator, EPA Region IX (submitted electronically August 3,
2021).
    \4\ CARB's submittal included NSR certifications for various
nonattainment areas in California. The EPA proposed action on the
NSR certifications in a separate rulemaking. See 87 FR 22163 (April
14, 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Statutory and Regulatory Requirements

A. Procedural Requirements for Adoption and Submittal of SIP Revisions

    CAA sections 110(a)(1) and 110(l) and 40 CFR 51.102 require states
to provide reasonable notice and an opportunity for a public hearing
prior to adoption of SIP revisions. Section 110(k)(1)(B) requires the
EPA to determine whether a SIP submittal is complete within 60 days of
receipt. Any plan that the EPA does not affirmatively determine to be
complete or incomplete will become complete six months after the day of
submittal by operation of law. A finding of completeness does not
approve the submittal as part of the SIP, nor does it indicate that the
submittal is approvable. It does start a 12-month clock for the EPA to
act on the SIP submittal (see CAA section 110(k)(2)).

B. Requirements for Clean Fuels or Advanced Control Technology for
Boilers

    As described in Section I of this document, CAA section 182(e)(3)
provides that SIPs for Extreme nonattainment areas require each new,
modified, and existing electric utility and industrial and commercial
boiler that emits more than 25 tpy of NOX to either burn as
its primary fuel natural gas, methanol, or ethanol (or a comparably
low-polluting fuel), or use advanced control technology, such as
catalytic control technologies or other comparably effective control
methods.
    The EPA provided additional guidance regarding the applicability of
this requirement in a Federal Register action titled ``General Preamble
for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990'' (``General Preamble'').\5\ According to the General Preamble, a
boiler should generally be considered as any combustion equipment used
to produce steam and generally does not include a process heater that
transfers heat from combustion gases to process streams.\6\ In
addition, boilers with rated heat inputs less than 15 million British
Thermal Units (MMBtu) per hour that are oil- or gas-fired may generally
be considered de minimis and exempt from these requirements because it
is unlikely that they will exceed the 25 tpy NOX emission
threshold.\7\

    In the 2021 San Joaquin Valley Certification, the SJVUAPCD states
that SJVUAPCD Rules 4305, 4306, 4320, and 4352 address NOX
emissions limits for boilers and that these rules meet the requirements
of the CAA. Specifically, the SJVUAPCD indicates that most of the
boilers under SJVUAPCD Rules 4305 and 4306 are fired on natural gas
and, as such, meet the requirements of CAA section 182(e)(3)(A) for
those boilers subject to those rules. The SJVUAPCD also indicates that
SJVUAPCD Rule 4320 establishes more stringent NOX emissions
limits for units in this source category through the use of advanced
technology, while also providing advanced emissions reduction options,
therefore satisfying the requirements of CAA section 182(e)(3)(A) and
(B). Liquid fuel-fired boilers are also addressed by SJVUAPCD Rules
4305, 4306, and 4320, and the SJVUAPCD concludes that the applicable
NOX emissions in the rules necessitate use of advanced
technology, therefore meeting the requirements of CAA section
182(e)(3)(B). The SJVUAPCD concludes likewise for solid fuel-fired
boilers addressed by SJVUAPCD Rule 4352. Table 2 of this document
provides the list of the relevant rules and information on the SIP-
approved version of the rules.

Board Meeting Held on: June 4, 2021, Meeting Summary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The 2021 South Coast Certification includes a discussion regarding
compliance with the requirements of CAA section 182(e)(3) by reference
to SCAQMD Rules 2002, 2004, 1146, and 1303. Information regarding these
rules, including dates of adoption and EPA approval, is listed in Table
3 of this document.
    With respect to sources subject to the SCAQMD's Regulation XX
(``Regional Clean Air Incentives Market'' or ``RECLAIM''), compliance
with CAA section 182(e)(3) is provided through SCAQMD Rule 2004
(``Requirements''), which requires each new, modified, and existing
electric utility and industrial and commercial boiler emitting more
than 25 tpy of NOX to burn clean fuel or use advanced
control technology. SCAQMD Rule 2002 establishes the methodology for
calculating facility allocations and adjustments to RECLAIM Trading
Credits holdings for NOX.
    SCAQMD Rule 1146 regulates large boilers not covered in the RECLAIM
program. Rule 1146 requires that Group I boilers, using natural gas
equal to or greater than 75 MMBtu per hour, have a NOX limit
of 5 ppm. Group II boilers, using natural gas equal to or greater than
20 MMBtu per hour but lower than 75 MMBtu per hour, are required to
have a NOX limit of 9 ppm depending on compliance schedule.
Group III boilers, using natural gas equal to or greater than 5 MMBtu
per hour but lower than 20 MMBtu per hour, are required to meet a
NOX limit of 9 ppm. Rule 1146 also allows for combustion of
fuel that may not necessarily be natural gas, methanol, ethanol, or
other comparably low polluting fuel. The emissions limits for these
other fuels, including units fired on digester or landfill gas, are 15
ppm and 25 ppm, respectively. The SCAQMD indicates that according to
the most recent Annual Emissions Reports, aside from the refinery
boilers currently regulated under the RECLAIM program, there was only
one unit emitting more than 25 tpy of NOX using other fuels:
the Los Angeles County Sanitation District Landfill in Puente Hills.
This facility is currently subject to the 25 ppm NOX
emissions limits in Rule 1146, and the boiler at this facility combusts
recovered landfill gas as the primary fuel and is equipped with flue
gas recirculation. The certification notes that a Best Available
Retrofit Control Technology (BARCT) assessment was conducted that
showed that the emissions limit of 25 ppm reflects BARCT for boilers
using landfill gas in the South Coast Air Basin.\18\ The certification
also indicates that this emissions limit is consistent with Rule
1146.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \18\ See Final Staff Report for Proposed Rule 1150.3--Emissions
of Oxides of Nitrogen from Combustion Equipment at Landfills,
February 2021, included in the docket for this rulemaking action.
    \19\ Further, the certification also states that a lower
NOX limit of 9 ppm was established in SCAQMD Rule 1150.3
(Emissions of Oxides of Nitrogen from Combustion Equipment at
Landfills) after a cost-effectiveness analysis, which will apply to
this facility with a compliance date of January 1, 2031. CARB has
submitted SCAQMD Rule 1150.3 for inclusion in the SIP, but it is not
currently SIP-approved. The EPA will take action on SCAQMD Rule
1150.3 in a separate rulemaking action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, the SCAQMD also notes in the certification that under
SCAQMD Rule 1303, a new or modified boiler emitting at least 10 tpy of
NOX or VOC is required to employ best available control
technology (BACT), which, under the SCAQMD's rule, must be at least as
stringent as the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) as defined in
CAA section 171(3).

IV. The EPA's Evaluation of the State's Submittal

A. Evaluation of Procedural Requirements

    Based on the documentation included in CARB's submittal, the EPA
finds that the submittal satisfies the procedural requirements of
sections 110(a)(1) and 110(l) of the Act requiring states to provide
reasonable notice and an opportunity for public hearing prior to
adoption of SIP revisions. CARB's submittal became complete by
operation of law on February 3, 2022, pursuant to section 110(k)(1)(B)
of the Act.

B. Evaluation of Requirements for Clean Fuels or Advanced Control
Technology for Boilers

1. 2021 San Joaquin Valley Certification
    SJVUAPCD Rules 4305, 4306, and 4320 apply to any gaseous fuel- or
liquid fuel-fired boiler, steam generator, or process heater with a
rated heat input greater than 5 MMBtu per hour. SJVUAPCD Rule 4305, as
amended on August 21, 2003, was approved by the EPA in 2004, and
SJVUAPCD Rules 4306 and 4320, as revised on October 16, 2008, were
approved by the EPA in 2010 and 2011, respectively.\20\ SJVUAPCD Rule
4305 limits emissions of NOX from boilers, steam generators,
and process heaters. SJVUAPCD Rule 4306 applies to the same units
listed

under Rule 4305 but establishes requirements that are more stringent.
The emissions limits in SJVUAPCD Rule 4306 (5 ppm to 30 ppm for gaseous
fuels and 40 ppm for liquid fuels) cannot be achieved without the use
of advanced control technologies.\21\ All units subject to SJVUAPCD
Rule 4306 were required to comply with the limits in the rule no later
than December 1, 2008. SJVUAPCD Rule 4320 is a complementary rule to
SJVUAPCD Rule 4306 and establishes more stringent NOX limits
for units in this source category.

(September 16, 2011) and 77 FR 12652, 12670 (March 1, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SJVUAPCD Rule 4352 was last approved by the EPA on November 6,
2012.\22\ SJVUAPCD Rule 4352 applies to any boiler, steam generator, or
process heater fired on solid fuel at a source that has the potential
to emit more than 10 tpy of NOX or VOC. All units subject to
SJVUAPCD Rule 4352 were required to comply with the rule's most
stringent limits no later than January 1, 2013. In an EPA action on an
earlier version of SJVUAPCD Rule 4352, we determined that all of the
NOX emissions limits in SJVUAPCD Rule 4352 effectively
require operation of selective noncatalytic reduction control
technology, which, for the affected sources, is comparably effective to
selective catalytic reduction, and comparable to the combustion of
clean fuels at these types of boilers. Therefore, we concluded that
SJVUAPCD Rule 4352 satisfied the requirements of section 182(e)(3) for
solid fuel-fired boilers in the San Joaquin Valley.\23\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \22\ 77 FR 66548 (November 6, 2012).
    \23\ 74 FR 65042 (December 9, 2009) (proposed limited approval
and limited disapproval of Rule 4352) and 75 FR 60623 (October 1,
2010) (final limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 4352).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, though not mentioned in the certification, new and
modified boilers that will emit or have the potential to emit 25 tpy or
more of NOX are subject to the SJVUAPCD's new source
permitting rule, SJVUAPCD Rule 2201, titled ``New and Modified
Stationary Source Review.'' This rule requires new and modified sources
to install and operate LAER technology. The EPA last approved SJVUAPCD
Rule 2201 in 2014.\24\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 79 FR 55637 (September 17, 2014). The EPA also recently
proposed a limited approval and limited disapproval of an amended
version of Rule 2201. 87 FR 45730 (July 29, 2022). The portion of
the amended rule that we proposed to disapprove does not affect the
clean fuels for boilers certification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, in a previous action to approve SIP revisions submitted by
CARB to meet CAA requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the
San Joaquin Valley ozone nonattainment area, the EPA reviewed the
SJVUAPCD rules, and concluded that the rules satisfy the requirements
for clean fuel or advanced control technology for boilers in CAA
section 182(e)(3).\25\ Based on our analysis, we find that the
emissions limitations in the SJVUAPCD's rules continue to meet the
clean fuel or advanced control technology for boilers requirement in
CAA section 182(e)(3), and thus, we propose to approve the 2021 San
Joaquin Valley Certification portion of CARB's 2021 Clean Fuels
Submittal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \25\ 84 FR 11198 (March 25, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. 2021 South Coast Certification
    Currently, within the South Coast, boilers that are subject to the
requirements of CAA section 182(e)(3) fall into two broad categories:
(1) boilers that are subject to the SCAQMD's RECLAIM regulation, and
(2) boilers that are not subject to RECLAIM. Boilers that are subject
to RECLAIM must comply with SCAQMD Rule 2004, paragraph (h), that sets
forth requirements that essentially mirror those set forth in CAA
section 182(e)(3). Thus, we agree with the SCAQMD that SCAQMD Rule
2004(h) satisfies the SIP requirement in CAA section 182(e)(3) with
respect to boilers included in the RECLAIM program. We most recently
approved SCAQMD Rule 2004 into the SIP on July 3, 2008.\26\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 73 FR 38122.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As to boilers that are not subject to RECLAIM, for the following
reasons, we agree with the SCAQMD that the requirements are met through
implementation of SCAQMD Rule 1146 for existing boilers and through
implementation of SCAQMD Regulation XIII (``New Source Review''),
specifically, SCAQMD Rule 1303, for new and modified boilers. We
approved SCAQMD Rules 1146 and 1303 into the SIP on September 25, 2014,
and December 4, 1996, respectively.\27\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \27\ 79 FR 57442; 61 FR 64291.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    First, we have reviewed SCAQMD Rule 1146 and find that it applies
to boilers of equal to or greater than 5 MMBtu per hour heat rate input
capacity used in all industrial, institutional, and commercial
operations with the exception of RECLAIM facilities.\28\ That is, it
regulates large boilers in the South Coast not participating in the
RECLAIM program. SCAQMD Rule 1146 requires compliance with specified
numeric limits that are based on the type of unit, and it allows for
combustion of fuel that may not necessarily be natural gas, methanol,
ethanol, or other comparably low polluting fuel. The emissions limits
for these other fuels, including digester or landfill gas, are 15 ppm
by volume and 25 ppm by volume, respectively. According to the SCAQMD's
analysis, the only unit firing these fuels that also must comply with
the requirements of CAA section 182(e)(3) is the Los Angeles County
Sanitation District Landfill in Puente Hills, which combusts recovered
landfill gas. Because the Los Angeles County Sanitation District
Landfill must achieve the limits for landfill gas-fired units as
required in SCAQMD Rule 1146, we find that the relevant requirements in
CAA section 182(e)(3) are met.\29\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \28\ We note that the applicability section of SCAQMD Rule 1146
lists certain categories of sources that are not subject to its
requirements in addition to RECLAIM facilities, such as boilers used
by electric utilities to generate electricity and large boilers used
in petroleum refineries. However, the types of boilers that are
categorically exempted by SCAQMD Rule 1146 are in fact included in
the RECLAIM program in the South Coast and thus are subject to
SCAQMD Rule 2004(h), which provides for compliance with CAA section
182(e)(3).
    \29\ We also acknowledge that though the boiler at the landfill
boiler already meets the relevant CAA requirements, the SCAQMD is
further establishing more stringent limits for this facility in
SCAQMD Rule 1150.3.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Second, we have reviewed SCAQMD Rule 1303 and find that it provides
for denial of a permit to construct for any new or modified source that
results in an emissions increase of any nonattainment pollutants unless
BACT is employed for the new or modified source.\30\ The SCAQMD defines
BACT in essentially the same way as the CAA section 171(3) defines
LAER.\31\ SCAQMD Rule 1303 thus ensures that new or modified boilers in
the South Coast that are not subject to RECLAIM comply with the
requirements in CAA section 182(e)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \30\ SCAQMD Rule 1303(a).
    \31\ SCAQMD Rule 1302 (``Definitions''), paragraph (f) (``Best
Available Control Technology'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EPA's previous action on the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the
EPA reviewed the SCAQMD rules, and concluded that the rules satisfy the
requirements for clean fuel or advanced control technology for boilers
in CAA section 182(e)(3).\32\ Based on our analysis, we find that the
emissions limitations in the SCAQMD's rules continue to meet the clean
fuel or advanced control technology for boilers requirement in CAA
section 182(e)(3), and thus, we propose to approve the

2021 South Coast Certification portion of CARB's 2021 Clean Fuels
Submittal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \32\ 84 FR 52005 (October 1, 2019).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Proposed Action

    For the reasons discussed in Section IV of this document, under CAA
section 110(k)(3), the EPA is proposing to approve as a revision to the
California SIP the 2021 Clean Fuels Submittal, which contains the 2021
San Joaquin Valley Certification and the 2021 South Coast
Certification. Specifically, the elements we are proposing to approve
are:
     Provisions in the San Joaquin Valley for clean fuels or
advanced control technology for boilers as meeting the requirements of
CAA section 182(e)(3) and 40 CFR 51.1302 based on the 2021 San Joaquin
Valley Certification; and
     Provisions in the South Coast for clean fuels or advanced
control technology for boilers as meeting the requirements of CAA
section 182(e)(3) and 40 CFR 51.1302 based on the 2021 South Coast
Certification.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed action merely proposes to approve state law
as meeting federal requirements and does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this
proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act.
    The State did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal. There is no information in the record
inconsistent with the stated goals of Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994) of achieving environmental justice for people
of color, low-income populations, and indigenous peoples.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).

Airworthiness Directives; Empresa Brasileira de Aeronautica S.A.
(EMBRAER) Model ERJ 170 and ERJ 190 Airplanes

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from 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 describes the unsafe condition as:

    It has been found cases where the pressure equalization valve
was not installed in the left-hand bulkhead blowout panel, on the
forward and/or aft cargo compartments, thus affecting the
effectiveness of fire detection, containment and suppression.

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 14, 2008.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of October 14,
2008.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on May 20, 2008 (73 FR
29085). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for the
specified products. The MCAI states:

    It has been found cases where the pressure equalization valve
was not installed in the left-hand bulkhead blowout panel, on the
forward and/or aft cargo compartments, thus affecting the
effectiveness of fire detection, containment and suppression.

Corrective actions include inspecting for the presence of pressure
equalization valves and, if necessary, installing pressure equalization
valves. You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the
AD docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a NOTE within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 101 products of U.S.
registry. We also estimate that it will take about 1 work-hour per
product to comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average
labor rate is $80 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $8,080, or $80 per
product.

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); and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    It has been found cases where the pressure equalization valve
was not installed in the left-hand bulkhead blowout panel, on the
forward and/or aft cargo compartments, thus affecting the
effectiveness of fire detection, containment and suppression.

Corrective actions include inspecting for the presence of pressure
equalization valves and, if necessary, installing pressure
equalization valves.

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions.
    (1) Within 500 flight hours after the effective date of this AD,
perform a general visual inspection on the left-hand bulkhead
blowout panel of both the forward and aft cargo compartments to
determine whether the pressure equalization valves, part number (P/
N) 120-48865-003, are installed. If both pressure equalization
valves are installed in their respective blowout panels, no
additional action is required by this AD.
    (2) If any valve is not installed, within 700 flight hours after
the effective date of this AD, install valve P/N 120-48865-003, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of EMBRAER Service
Bulletin 170-21-0032 or 190-21-0019, both dated August 10, 2007; as
applicable.

    Note 1: For the purpose of this AD, a general visual inspection
(GVI) is: ``A visual examination of an interior or exterior area,
installation or assembly to detect obvious damage, failure or
irregularity. This level of inspection is made from within touching

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP22-33-001]

Northern Natural Gas Company; Notice of Request for Extension of
Time

    Take notice that on April 13, 2023, Northern Natural Gas Company
(Northern) requested that Federal

Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time,
until May 31, 2025, for the Redfield Broderick Well Replacement Project
(Project), to allow sufficient time to complete construction of the
Project. Northern received a prior notice authorization for the Project
on March 7, 2022, which authorized: Northern to replace the existing
Broderick No. 9 well with a new well, the Broderick No. 16 well, along
with associated surface facilities at Northern's existing Redfield
storage field located in Dallas County, Iowa. The Commission's prior
notice regulations require Northern to complete the construction of the
Project and make it available for service within one year from
issuance, or by March 7, 2023.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 18 CFR 157.206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In Northern's request for an extension of time, Northern stated
that it did not anticipate downhole issues within the Broderick No. 16
well and fully anticipated the drill would be completed within the one-
year construction timeframe. Northern has completed the abandonment of
the Broderick No. 9 well; however, the Broderick No. 16 well
installation has not been completed. Northern reported in the weekly
environmental inspector reports that Northern was experiencing downhole
cement integrity issues at the Broderick No. 16 well resulting from
poor cement bond quality in the production casing. To attempt to
remediate the integrity concerns, Northern's contractor conducted two
cement squeeze remediations August 2022. Northern's drilling contractor
also ran a cement bond log tool, which indicated that the cement
squeeze remediations were insufficient. On September 13, 2022, the
drill rig was removed from Broderick No. 16 well lot, and Northern
continues to work with industry consultants for remedial options. Due
to the extenuating circumstances Northern requests an extension of time
which to complete the Project from the one-year date of March 7, 2023,
to the new projected completion date of May 31, 2025.
    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Northern's request
for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or answers will
be considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by becoming a party
to the proceedings for this request, you should, on or before the
comment date stated below, file a motion to intervene in accordance
with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice and
Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Only motions to intervene from entities that were party to
the underlying proceeding will be accepted. Algonquin Gas
Transmission, LLC, 170 FERC ] 61,144, at P 39 (2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\3\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\4\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\5\ The Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the Certificate Order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\6\
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\7\ The OEP Director, or
his or her designee, will act on those extension requests that are
uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1).

    \5\ Id. P 40.
    \6\ Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate the issuance
of an NGA section 3 authorization, including whether a proposed
project is not inconsistent with the public interest and whether the
Commission's environmental analysis for the permit order complied
with NEPA.
