14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31044; Amdt. No. 3667]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes, amends, suspends, or removes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODPs) for operations at certain
airports. These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption
of new or revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the
National Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight

operations under instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective November 6, 2015. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of November 6, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:

For Examination

    1. U.S. Department of Transportation, Docket Ops-M30, 1200 New
Jersey Avenue SE., West Bldg., Ground Floor, Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    2. The FAA Air Traffic Organization Service Area in which the
affected airport is located;
    3. The office of Aeronautical Navigation Products, 6500 South
MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169 or,
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For

6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

Availability

    All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available online free
of charge. Visit the National Flight Data Center at nfdc.faa.gov to
register. Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP
copies may be obtained from the FAA Air Traffic Organization Service
Area in which the affected airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard A. Dunham III, Flight
Procedure Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs
Divisions, Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration,
Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125),
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or removes SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulatory description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part Sec.  97.20. The
applicable FAA forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A,
and 8260-15B when required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, their complex
nature, and the need for a special format make publication in the
Federal Register expensive and impractical. Further, airmen do not use
the regulatory text of the SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead
refer to their graphic depiction on charts printed by publishers of
aeronautical materials. Thus, the advantages of incorporation by
reference are realized and publication of the complete description of
each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on FAA form documents is
unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR sections and
specifies the types of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs with their
applicable effective dates. This amendment also identifies the airport
and its location, the procedure, and the amendment number.

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

    The material incorporated by reference is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section.
    The material incorporated by reference describes SIAPS, Takeoff
Minimums and/or ODPS as identified in the amendatory language for part
97 of this final rule.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as Amended in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts.
    The circumstances that created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff
Minimums and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less
than 30 days. For the remaining SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPs and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) are impracticable and contrary
to the public interest and, where applicable, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
good cause exists for making some SIAPs effective in less than 30 days.
    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore--(1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

1 MEMORANDUM DATE: June 20, 2005 SUBJECT: Hours of Operation for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal Combustion Engines FROM: Tanya Parise, Alpha Gamma Technologies, Inc.

TO: Sims Roy, EPA OAQPS ESD Combustion Group The purpose of this memorandum is to present various estimates of the average number of hours stationary compression ignition ( CI) internal combustion engines ( ICE) operate annually. These estimates will support regulatory decisions associated with the new source performance standards ( NSPS) for stationary CI ICE.

RICE NESHAP An inventory database of stationary engines was developed for the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants ( NESHAP) for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines ( RICE). 1 The RICE NESHAP database is a compilation of information from a variety of sources including the Aerometric Information Retrieval System, the Ozone Transport and Assessment Group, and State and local agencies' databases.

Information in the RICE NESHAP database indicates that stationary prime CI engines greater than 50 horsepower ( HP) operate on an average of 2,100 hours per year. Prime engines are defined as those engines not used exclusively for emergency service. Stationary prime CI engines greater than 500 HP operate on an average of 1,700 hours per year, according to the RICE NESHAP database.

1 Environmental Protection Agency  Air Toxics Website. Rule and Implementation Information for the Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants. Inventory Database for RICE. December 2, 2002. http:// www. epa. gov/ ttn/ atw/ rice/ ricepg. html. 2 CARB Prime In support of the airborne toxic control measure for stationary CI engines, the California Air Resources Board ( CARB) conducted a survey of prime diesel engines in March of 2003. The purpose of the survey was to determine how prime diesel engines are operated in California. The results of the survey were presented in CARB's Staff Report. 2 Engines in the prime diesel engines survey ranged from under 50 HP to over 2,000 HP. The majority of the engines were in the 100 174 HP, 300 599 HP, and greater than 750 HP size categories. These size categories represent 66 percent of the engines surveyed. The average size of the prime diesel engines surveyed was 556 HP. According to the survey, the average hours of operation for prime CI engines is 953 hours. Table 1 shows the average annual hours for each application for prime diesel engines.

The purpose of the survey was to determine the average number of hours that stationary emergency diesel engines operate. The results of the survey were presented in Appendix B of CARB's Staff Report. Engines in the emergency engines survey ranged from under 50 HP to over 1,000 HP, although the survey targeted engines greater than or equal to 50 HP. The survey requested hours of operation for 1999 through 2001 for maintenance and testing, interruptable service contracts, and emergencies. Table 2 shows the average annual hours for emergency diesel engines based on CARB's survey.

Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management. June 2003. 4 the eight state NESCAUM region, which includes Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Power Systems Research ( PSR) conducted a survey of diesel fired generators in New York City and Fairfield County, Connecticut, and results were presented in NESCAUM's report. The results from the survey includes information on the number of hours prime diesel engines operate in Fairfield County. No information was presented on the number of hours prime engines located in New York City operate, however, emergency diesel engines operate on average of 150 hours per year. Based on information reported in surveys distributed in Fairfield County, prime diesel engines operate on average of 3,790 hours per year. According to the report, emergency diesel engines in Fairfield County operate on average 42 hours per year.

PSR Supporting documentation for the EPA's NONROAD model includes activity estimates for nonroad diesel engines. 4 The activity estimates were obtained from a 1998 database developed by PSR, an independent research firm that conducts yearly surveys of equipment owners. Estimates of yearly operation are available for several different applications and fuel types.

Included in the NONROAD model activity estimates are average hours per year of operation for engines that are non stationary engines and also engines that are using other fuels than diesel. Table 3 presents the activity estimates for applications associated with stationary engines combusting diesel fuel. Note that the PSR information did not specifically address engines used for emergency service and the information in Table 3 may include prime and emergency diesel engines.

NC Diesel Engine Operators The EPA contacted the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ( NCDENR) to obtain information on prime diesel engines operating in North Carolina. In response to EPA's request, the NCDENR sent a list it had compiled of stationary engines that were potentially subject to the stationary RICE NESHAP. The information indicated which application each facility was and also which fuel is used. However, the information did not indicate what the engines are used for or if the engines are prime or emergency engines. The EPA briefly reviewed the Title V permits for the facilities that were using diesel fuel to determine from the facility's permit if the engines were prime or emergency. The facility permits did not consistently indicate whether the engines were prime or emergency, although, some indicated that the engines were used for emergency service. For the facilities where the permit did not mention that the engines were used for emergency service, EPA contacted these facilities directly to determine if the engines at the facilities were prime or emergency engines. In addition, EPA also asked the facilities to provide the annual hours of operation if it had prime diesel engines that were operating.

Several of the facilities contacted by EPA responded that they only operate stationary diesel engines for emergency purposes. Two facilities responded that they currently do operate prime diesel engines. The Camp Lejeune facility responded that it has a prime diesel engine 1,600 KW ( 2,144 HP) in size that is used for peak shaving purposes. The engine operated 80 hours in 2003 and 129 hours in 2002. Weyerhaeuser's Elkin plant responded that it operates a woodyard hog engine that by EPA's definition is a prime diesel engine. The diesel engine basically takes unusable wood debris and grinds it into wood fuel or wood mulch. The engine is permitted to run 2,600 hours per 7 year but typically operates on average of 250 300 hours per year, according to the facility contact. One additional facility, Grady White Boats, indicated that it has two diesel engines that are used for emergency service and peak demand shaving. The facility said that the engines operate about 250 hours per year but that it could not specify the number of hours for each use as the facility has never had a need to do so. However, the compliance manager provided an educated guess that the facility probably operates about 3 hours per year on emergency supply. The compliance manager pointed out that this would change quickly with a damaged grid system such as what is currently occurring in Florida. The facility has not been hit with that type of incident since it put the capacity in to run the entire facility. Appalachian State University operates three 1.0 megawatt ( 1,340 HP) diesel engines in a steam plant used for electrical peak shaving. The usage is controlled by New River Light and Power, which estimates average usage of about 8 10 hours per month, with some months 2 4 hours, according assistant director of the university's physical plant.

National Fire Protection Association The National Fire Protection Association ( NFPA) develops codes, standards, recommended practices, and guides for the protection of life and property, e. g., NFPA 70, is the National Electric Code. The NFPA also issues NFPA 20, which is the Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection. The NFPA requires that stationary diesel engines that are used for emergency purposes are run 30 minutes per week ( 27 hours per year) for maintenance and testing purposes to ensure that the engine will respond properly in the event of an emergency.

Conclusion Presented in Table 5 is a summary of the information presented in this memorandum on the average number of hours stationary diesel engines operate annually.

Based on information presented in this memorandum, the EPA believes that 1,000 hours per year are appropriate to represent the annual operation of stationary prime diesel engines. The 1,000 hours per year for stationary prime diesel engines are consistent with results of CARB's survey of prime diesel engines, which was based on annual usage by actual stationary prime diesel engines operating in California. The EPA believes that 37 hours per year are appropriate to represent the annual operation for stationary emergency diesel engines. A minimum of 27 hours per year of operation is required for maintenance and testing, and consistent with results of CARB's survey of emergency diesel engines, an additional 10 hours per year would be sufficient to account for operation during emergencies.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket No. USCG-2011-0396]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Independence Day Fireworks Celebration for the City
of Half Moon Bay, Half Moon Bay, CA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone in the
navigable waters of Half Moon Bay, off of Pillar Point Harbor beach,
Half Moon Bay, CA in support of the Independence Day Fireworks
Celebration for the City of Half Moon Bay. Unauthorized persons or
vessels are prohibited from entering into, transiting through, or
remaining in the safety zone without permission of the Captain of the
Port or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 11 a.m. through 9:50 p.m. on July 4,
2011.

ADDRESSES: Documents indicated in this preamble as being available in
the docket are part of docket USCG-2011-0396 and are available online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final 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 the event would occur before the
rulemaking process would be completed. Because of the dangers posed by
the pyrotechnics used in these fireworks displays, the safety zones are
necessary to provide for the safety of event participants, spectators,
spectator craft, and other vessels transiting the event area. For the
safety concerns noted, it is in the public interest to have these
regulations in effect during the event.
    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. Any delay in the effective date of
this rule would expose mariners to the dangers posed by the
pyrotechnics used in the fireworks display.

Background and Purpose

    American Legion Post 474 will sponsor the Independence Day
Fireworks Celebration for the City of Half Moon Bay on July 4, 2011, on
the navigable waters of Half Moon Bay, off of Pillar Point Harbor
beach, Half Moon Bay, CA. The fireworks display is meant for
entertainment purposes. This safety zone establishes a temporary
restricted area on the waters surrounding the fireworks launch site
during the fireworks display. This restricted area around the launch
site is necessary to protect spectators, vessels, and other property
from the hazards associated with the pyrotechnics over the water. The
Coast Guard has granted the event sponsor a marine event permit for the
fireworks display.

Discussion of Rule

    From 11 a.m. until 9:30 p.m. on July 4, 2011, the temporary safety
zone will extend 100 feet while pyrotechnics are loaded and maintained
at the Pillar Point Harbor beach at position 37[deg]30'03.02'' N,
122[deg]28'24.86'' W (NAD 83). The fireworks display will occur from
9:30 p.m. to 9:50 p.m., during which the safety zone will extend 600
feet from position 37[deg]30'03.02'' N, 122[deg]28'24.86'' W (NAD 83).
At 9:50 p.m., the safety zone shall terminate.
    The effect of the temporary safety zone will be to restrict
navigation in the vicinity of the fireworks site while the fireworks
are set up, and until the conclusion of the scheduled display. Except
for persons or vessels authorized

by the Coast Guard Patrol Commander, no person or vessel may enter or
remain in the restricted area. These regulations are needed to keep
spectators and vessels a safe distance away from the launch site to
ensure the safety of participants, spectators, and transiting vessels.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Executive Order 12866 and Executive Order 13563

    This 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, and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that Order. The Office of Management and Budget has not reviewed it
under that Order.
    Although this rule restricts access to the waters encompassed by
the safety zone, the effect of this rule will not be significant. The
entities most likely to be affected are pleasure craft engaged in
recreational activities. In addition, the rule will only restrict
access for a limited time. Finally, the Public Broadcast Notice to
Mariners will notify the users of local waterway to ensure that the
safety zone will result in minimum impact.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this rule would have a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities. 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 will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
    Although this rule may affect owners and operators of pleasure
craft engaged in recreational activities and sightseeing, it will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities for several reasons: (i) This rule will encompass only a small
portion of the waterway for a limited period of time; (ii) vessel
traffic can pass safely around the area; (iii) vessels engaged in
recreational activities and sightseeing have ample space outside of the
affected areas of Half Moon Bay, CA to engage in these activities; and
(iv) the maritime public will be advised in advance of this safety zone
via Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we offer to assist small
entities in understanding the rule so that they can better evaluate its
effects on them and participate in the rulemaking process.
    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.

Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that it does not have implications for
federalism.

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 or more in any
one year. Though this rule will not result in such an expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This rule will 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.

Civil Justice Reform

    This 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.

Protection of Children

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

Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are

technical standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance,
design, or operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related
management systems practices) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies.
    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this 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 concluded
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 is categorically excluded, under figure 2-1, paragraphs (34)(g)
and (35)(b), of the Instruction. This rule involves establishing,
disestablishing, or changing Regulated Navigation Areas and security or
safety zones. An environmental analysis checklist and a categorical
exclusion determination are available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Colorado; Revisions to Regulation Number 1

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed Rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan
revisions submitted by the State of Colorado on August 3, 2007 to
Colorado's Regulation Number 1 (revisions to the performance testing
requirements for air curtain destructors). Colorado adopted these rule
revisions on October 2, 2006. All other actions submitted by the State
of Colorado concurrent with Colorado's Regulation Number 1 revision
request will be acted on at a later date. In the ``Rules and
Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a non-controversial SIP revision and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval
is set forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives
no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed
rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct
final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 9, 2010.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:REQUESTING EXTENSION

Dear Mr. Zeller:

I am writing as an individual consumer to request an extension of the comment period for the Food and Drug Administration's ("FDA") Proposed Rule Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Family Smoking and Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (the "Proposed Rule") published at 79 Fed. Reg. 23,142 and Federal Register No. 2014-09491. I am requesting that the comment period for the Proposed Rule be extended by the FDA for an additional 105 days, from its current 75-day period, to 180 days.

The Proposed Rule raises a number of significant issues and questions that are important and relevant to me, as a consumer of products that are proposed for regulation under the Proposed Rule. The Proposed Rule asks roughly one hundred questions that intend on responding to. I want to provide my thoughts and comments on many of these issues, but the time i personally have available to research and provide feedback on these important questions is limited. I have already spent many hours researching and dissecting these issues, but they take time. It is my understanding that the FDA took many years to compile and construct the Proposed Rule, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to allow the public a mere six months to comment on it. This is our only opportunity, as consumers, to provide our feedback.

I feel very strongly about e-cigarettes as an alternative to combustible cigarettes. Quite simply, I firmly believe that they have saved my life and the lives of 3 of my family members. I wish to provide you with my personal story, as well as science- and evidence-based responses to your questions so that you can take my comment into account. I realize that the FDA has the authority under 21 CFR 10.40 to extend this time frame and that the FDA has exercised this authority on numerous occasions in the past. I would therefore ask that you do so here, so that all stakeholders have the opportunity to provide their comments on this proposed regulation.

I appreciate your consideration of my request and am happy to discuss this issue with you further.

Thank You, Eric C.

MEMORANDUM TO: Docket No. OAR 2002 0058 FROM: Jim Eddinger, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, OAQPS ( C439 01)

DATE: February 2004 SUBJECT: Statistical Analysis for Determining the Appropriate Percentile Confidence Level for Using Fuel Analysis for Compliance BACKGROUND The fuel analysis requirements in the proposed rule raised significant comments during the public comment period. The main concern was the requirements to conduct a new fuel analysis each time a facility would receive fuel from a new supplier. Commenters indicated that in the case of biomass fuel a facility may receive fuel from over a hundred ever changing suppliers and that this would result in a significant burden on many small wood/ biomass facilities.

In an effort to address these concerns, the final rule has been revised to require only an initial sampling and testing of the fuel and a statistical analysis of the test results as means of ensuring ongoing compliance. There is no longer a requirement to re test fuel from new suppliers or fuel from new sources or locations from the same supplier. There is also no general periodic testing requirement ( other than every 5 years). We have attempted to account for fuel variability by introducing statistical analysis to the initial compliance demonstration. This memorandum described the evaluation of coal data to demonstrate why the statistical analysis will ensure ongoing compliance. The analysis underlying the new approach are presented here.

Given the significant variability in the HAP content of coal, there was concerns about requiring only an initial sampling and testing of the fuel as a means of ensuring ongoing compliance. Conceptually, it seems like we could make an argument that accounting for variability would eliminate the need for frequent sampling; but only if we could show that we have adopted a statistical analysis that accounts for the variability that can possibly occur in the applicable fuel type. The variability factor in the approach outlined derives from only the variability observed in the fuel samples taken at the individual facility.

RESPONSE TO COMMENTS The final rule specifies the testing methodology and procedures and the initial and continuous compliance requirements to be used when complying with the fuel analysis options. Fuel analysis tests for total chloride, gross calorific value, mercury, metal analysis, sample collection, and sample preparation are included in the final rule.

If you elect to comply with the emission limits based on fuel analysis, the facilty is required 2 to statistically analyze, using the z test, the fuel analysis data to determine the 90th percentile confidence level. It is the 90th percentile confidence level that is required to be used to determine compliance with the applicable emission limit. The statistical approach is required to assist in ensuring continuous compliance by statistically accounting for the inherent variability in the fuel type.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS To address the concern on whether a statistical fuel analysis approach would reasonably ensures that the emission limits would be continuously achieved based on only an initial fuel sampling and analysis program, we conducted a statistical analysis on coal analysis data obtained for the proposed Utility MACT rulemaking. That is, we determined for various coal data the mercury emissions level achieved for a source based on the average and the 90th and 95th percentile using the one sided z statistics test ( i. e., the emission level which the emission point is estimated to be able to achieve 90 or 95 percent of the time).

PROCEDURE In the determination of the appropriate percentile confidence level, we used the results of the mercury fuel content results for 6 utility facilities. Monthly fuel analysis were conducted over a 12 month period on each of these units. The mercury content ( ppmw) for each ( 3 sample) fuel analysis are presented in Table 1, together with the unit average ( mean) emissions of mercury and the standard deviation of the individual test runs.

The statistical approach used was the one sided z statistics test using the equation:

confidence limit = average + z * standard deviation,

where the value of z is a function of the degrees of freedom and obtained from the statistical table listing t distribution critical values. The number of degrees of freedom for each set is 11. The z values used in determining the 90 and 95 percentile confidence limit are 1.363 and 1.796, respectively.

DATA The data consisted of fuel analysis results for mercury content ( ppmw) from 6 selected utility facilities. The data were obtained from the ICR database developed for the Utility MACT rulemaking. In general, three fuel samples were analyzed for each monthly result. The averages and the observed standard deviations for these coal analyses are listed in the table. 3 Fuel Analysis Results for Mercury Content Mercury Content ( ppmw) Average Standard Deviation 90% Confidence Limit 95% Confidence Limit Mercury Content ( ppmw) Average Standard Deviation 90% Confidence Limit 95% Confidence Limit 0.0867 0.0728 0.0450 0.0763 0.0900 0.0763 0.0767 0.0743 0.0867 0.0788 0.011658 0.0947 0.0997 0.0568 0.0733 0.0510 0.0890 0.024384 0.1222 0.0867 0.1040 0.0750 0.1160 0.0825 0.1150 0.0867 0.1150 0.0733 0.0910 0.0833 0.1198 0.0450 0.0651 0.0770 0.0723 0.0733 0.0499 0.0375 0.0713 0.0410 0.0608 0.01777 0.085 0.0926 0.0746 0.0477 0.0899 0.0784 0.012803 0.0958 0.1013 0.0817 0.0827 0.0653 0.0754 0.0323 0.0860 0.0765 0.0932 0.0795 0.0910 0.0730 0.0892 0.0783 0.0450 0.0614 0.0800 0.0787 0.0567 0.0693 0.0567 0.0707 0.0693 0.013587 0.0878 0.0937 0.0448 0.0457 0.0390 0.0631 0.02194 0.093 1.025 0.0803 0.0636 0.0585 0.0702 0.0720 0.0467 0.0898 0.0567 0.0823 0.0787 0.0450 0.1186 4 RESULTS The analysis was based on demonstrating continous compliance with a benchmark mercury level of 0.09 ppmw. For all 6 coals, the average mercury content ( of the 12 monthly samples) is below the benchmark level. Therefore, on average, all would demonstrate compliance. However, 3 coal facilities had at least 1 monthly result greater than the benchmark level which would indicate failure to comply on a continuous basis. One coal set, even though it averaged below the benchmark, had higher monthly results than the benchmark in 6 of the 12 months. Therefore, it would apparently not be reasonable or appropriate to based continous compliance on the average of an initial sampling program.

Investigating the appropriate confidence level that would assist in ensuring continuous compliance based on fuel sampling, we first considered the 95th percentile confidence limit. However, in all 6 cases, the 95th percentile confidence limit is greater that the benchmark level, even though in 2 cases all 12 samples were below the benchmark. At the 90th percentile confidence limit, these 2 coal sets were below the benchmark.

CONCLUSION Based on this statistical analysis, the appropriate percentile confidence level for ensuring continuous compliance is 90. Coal sets with all monthly values below the benchmark had their 90th percentile confidence limit also below the benchmark. For coals sets with any monthly values at or above the benchmark, the 90th percentile confidence level was above the benchmark.

[Project No. 5261-023]

Green Mountain Power Corporation; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment

    On August 27, 2021, Green Mountain Power Corporation filed an
application for a subsequent minor license for the 365-kilowatt Newbury
Hydroelectric Project (Newbury Project; FERC No. 5261). The Newbury
Project is located on the Wells River in the Town of Newbury in Orange
County, Vermont. The project does not occupy federal lands.
    In accordance with the Commission's regulations, on April 6, 2022,
Commission staff issued a notice that the project was ready for
environmental analysis (REA Notice). Based on the information in the
record, including comments filed on the REA Notice, staff does not
anticipate that licensing the project would constitute a major federal
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.
Therefore, staff intends to prepare an Environmental Assessment (EA) on
the application to relicense the Newbury Project.
    The EA will be issued and circulated for review by all interested
parties. All comments filed on the EA will be analyzed by staff and
considered in the Commission's final licensing decision.
    The application will be processed according to the following
schedule. Revisions to the schedule may be made as appropriate.
