[EPA-R09-OAR-2021-0368; FRL-8716-02-R9]

Air Plan Approval; Nevada; Revisions to Clark County Ozone
Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a revision to the State of Nevada's state
implementation plan (SIP) for Clark County. The revision consists of an
update to certain elements of the maintenance plan for the Clark County
air quality planning area for the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS or ``standards''), including certain
emissions inventories and motor vehicle emissions budgets. The EPA is
approving the SIP revision because the Clark County ozone maintenance
plan, as revised, continues to provide for maintenance of the 1997
ozone NAAQS and will not interfere with attainment or reasonable
further progress of the other NAAQS, and the motor vehicle emissions
budgets meet the applicable transportation conformity requirements.

DATES: This rule will be effective on November 29, 2021.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket No. EPA-R09-OAR-2021-0368. All documents in the docket are

I. Summary of the Proposed Action

    On August 9, 2021 (86 FR 43461), under section 110(k) of the Clean
Air Act (``Act'' or CAA), the EPA proposed to approve a SIP revision
titled ``Revision to Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the 1997 Ozone
NAAQS, Clark County, Nevada'' (August 2020) (herein referred to as the
``2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision''), submitted by the Nevada
Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) on September 30, 2020.\1\
The 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision updates certain elements of
the maintenance plan for Clark County for the 1997 ozone NAAQS,
including certain emissions inventories and the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (``budgets'' or MVEBs). The 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision was prepared in response to the EPA's conditional approval of
the ``Revision to Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in Ozone
Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan: Clark County, Nevada''
(October 2018) (herein referred to as the ``2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision'').\2\ The

2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision revises certain budgets from the
2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision to prevent interference with
reasonable further progress or attainment of the 2008 and 2015 ozone
NAAQS.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ NDEP submitted the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision
electronically on September 30, 2020, as an attachment to a
transmittal letter dated September 25, 2020.
    \2\ 84 FR 44699 (August 27, 2019).
    \3\ The 2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision includes revisions
to the attainment inventory, the maintenance demonstration, and
budgets in the ``Ozone Redesignation Request and Maintenance Plan,
Clark County, Nevada (March 2011)'' (herein referred to as the
``2011 Ozone Maintenance Plan'') to reflect updated emissions
models, vehicle mix and speed data, and transportation activity
projections.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As noted above, the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision includes
certain updated emissions inventories. In our August 9, 2021 proposed
rule, we describe our evaluation of the updated inventories and
conclude that, based on our review of the methods, assumptions, and
data sources, the Clark County Department of Environment and
Sustainability's estimates for 2017 and 2022 for the various source
categories are based on the best available emissions models and data
sources, and thus provide a reasonable basis upon which to evaluate
whether the area will continue to maintain the 1997 ozone NAAQS through
2022 and whether the revised budgets for 2022 in the 2020 Ozone
Maintenance Plan Revision would interfere with reasonable further
progress (RFP) or attainment of the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 86 FR 43464-43466 (August 9, 2021 proposed rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our August 9, 2021 proposed rule, we also describe our review of
the revised budgets for year 2022 in the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision and conclude that they are consistent with the revised
maintenance demonstration from the 2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision; are based on control measures that have already been adopted
and implemented; and meet all other applicable statutory and regulatory
requirements including the adequacy criteria in 40 CFR 93.1118(e)(4)
and (5).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See 86 FR 43466-43467 (August 9, 2021 proposed rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Lastly, in our August 9, 2021 proposed rule, we describe our review
the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision for possible interference with
RFP or attainment with respect to the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS in
Clark County. In short, because the updated emissions inventories of
ozone precursor emissions for 2022, including the revised budgets and
related safety margins, would be less than the corresponding emissions
inventories for year 2017, we conclude in our proposed rule that the
2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision would not interfere with RFP or
attainment for the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS in Clark County and thus
would be consistent with the requirements for SIP revisions under CAA
section 110(l).\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See 86 FR 43467-43468 (August 9, 2021 proposed rule).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For more information on the background for this action, including a
description of the ozone NAAQS, the ozone area designations for Clark
County, the 2011 Ozone Maintenance Plan and 2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision, and the rationale for approval of the 2020 Ozone Maintenance
Plan Revision, please see our August 9, 2021 proposed rule.

II. Public Comments

    The public comment period for the EPA's August 9, 2021 proposed
rule closed on September 8, 2021. The EPA did not receive any public
comments.

III. Final Action

    For the reasons discussed in our August 9, 2021 proposed rule and
summarized herein, the EPA is taking final action under CAA section
110(k)(3) to approve the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision submitted
by NDEP on September 30, 2020, as a revision to the Clark County
portion of the Nevada SIP. We are approving the 2020 Ozone Maintenance
Plan Revision because we find that the 2011 Ozone Maintenance Plan, as
revised by the 2018 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision, and as further
revised by the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision, continues to
provide for maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS and will not interfere
with RFP or attainment of the other NAAQS in Clark County.
    In approving the 2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision, the EPA is
also finding adequate and approving the updated budgets for oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC) for 2022
for the 1997 ozone NAAQS (shown in Table 1) based on our conclusion
that the updated budgets meet the applicable transportation conformity
and other CAA requirements.

    The revised budgets in Table 1 replace Clark County's existing
budgets for the plan horizon year (2022) for the 1997 ozone NAAQS from

Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada and U.S. Department of
Transportation must use the revised budgets for future transportation
conformity determinations for the 2015 ozone NAAQS until motor vehicle
emissions budgets for that ozone NAAQS are found adequate or are
approved.\8\

removing the conditional approval regulatory text found at 40 CFR
52.1475(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. 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 action merely approves a state plan as meeting
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this 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);
     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; and
     Does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    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. The Las Vegas Tribe of
Paiute Indians of the Las Vegas Indian Colony has areas of Indian
country geographically located within the Clark County 1997 ozone
maintenance area. In those areas of Indian country, the action 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).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 27, 2021. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry
entitled ``Controlled Correspondence Related to Generic Drug
Development.'' This guidance provides information regarding the process
by which generic drug manufacturers and related industry can submit to
FDA controlled correspondence requesting information related to generic
drug development and the Agency's process for providing communications
related to such correspondence. This guidance also describes the
process by which generic drug manufacturers and related industry can
submit requests to clarify ambiguities in FDA's controlled
correspondence response and the Agency's process for responding to
those requests. In accordance with the Generic Drug User Fee Amendments
(GDUFA) Reauthorization Performance Goals and Program Enhancements
Fiscal Years 2018-2022 (GDUFA II Goals Letter or GDUFA II Commitment
Letter), FDA agreed to certain review goals and procedures for the
review of controlled correspondence received both before, and on or
after October 1, 2017.
    The GDUFA II Commitment Letter defines standard controlled
correspondence and complex controlled correspondence, and the draft
guidance provides additional details and recommendations concerning
what inquiries FDA considers controlled correspondence for the purposes
of meeting the Agency's GDUFA II commitment. In addition, this guidance
provides details and recommendations concerning what information
requestors should include in a controlled correspondence to facilitate
FDA's consideration of and response to a controlled correspondence and
what information FDA will provide in its communications to requestors
that have submitted controlled correspondence. The GDUFA II Commitment
Letter also states that FDA will review and respond to requests to
clarify ambiguities in the controlled correspondence response, and the
guidance provides information on how requestors may submit these
requests and the Agency's process for responding to them.
    This guidance revises the guidance for industry ``Controlled
Correspondence Related to Generic Drug Development'' issued in
September 2015 available at: https://www.fda.gov/downloads/drugs/guidances/ucm411478.pdf. When finalized, this guidance will replace the
September 2015 final guidance. Changes from the 2015 version include:
Recommendations on requests concerning postapproval submission
requirements and complex controlled correspondence, and information on
how requestors can submit requests to clarify ambiguities in FDA's
controlled correspondence response and the Agency's process for
responding to those requests.
    This draft guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft guidance, when
finalized, will represent the current thinking of FDA on controlled
correspondence related to generic drug development. It does not
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations. This guidance
is not subject to Executive Order 12866.

II. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This draft guidance contains information collection provisions that
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520). The
title and description of the information collection are given under
this section, with an estimate of the reporting burden. Included in the
estimate is the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing
and reviewing the collection of information.

    We invite comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
FDA's functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.
    Title: Controlled Correspondence Related to Generic Drug
Development--OMB Control Number 0910-0797--Revision.
    Description: FDA has agreed to specific program enhancements and
performance goals specified in the GDUFA II Commitment Letter. One of
the performance goals applies to controlled correspondence related to
generic drug development. The GDUFA II Commitment Letter includes
details on FDA's commitment to respond to questions submitted as
controlled correspondence within certain time frames. To facilitate
FDA's prompt consideration of the controlled correspondence and to
assist in meeting the prescribed time frames, FDA recommends including
the following information in the inquiry: (1) Name, title, address,
phone number, and entity of the person submitting the inquiry; (2) a
letter of authorization, if applicable; (3) the FDA-assigned control
number and submission date of any previous, related controlled
correspondence that was accepted for substantial review and response,
if any, as well as a copy of that previous controlled correspondence
and FDA's response, if any; (4) the relevant reference listed drug(s),
as applicable, including the application number, proprietary (brand)
name, manufacturer, active ingredient, dosage form, and strength(s);
(5) a statement that the controlled correspondence is related to a
potential abbreviated new drug application (ANDA) submission to the
Office of Generic Drugs, and the ANDA number, if applicable; (6) a
concise statement of the inquiry; (7) a recommendation of the
appropriate FDA review discipline; and (8) relevant prior research and
supporting materials.
    The GDUFA II Commitment Letter also includes details on FDA's
commitment to respond to requests to clarify ambiguities in FDA's
controlled correspondence response within certain time frames. To
facilitate FDA's prompt consideration of the request, and to assist in
meeting the prescribed time frames, FDA recommends including the
following information in the inquiry: (1) Name, title, address, phone
number, and entity of the person submitting the inquiry; (2) a letter
of authorization, if applicable; (3) the FDA-assigned control number,
submission date of the controlled correspondence on which the requestor
is seeking clarification, a copy of that previous controlled
correspondence, and FDA's response to the controlled correspondence;
and (4) the clarifying questions and the corresponding section(s) of
FDA's controlled correspondence response on which the requestor is
seeking clarification.
    The following information is based on inquiries considered
controlled correspondence and submitted to FDA for fiscal years 2014,
2015, and 2016. FDA estimates approximately 390 generic drug
manufacturers and related industry (e.g., contract research
organizations conducting bioanalytical or bioequivalence clinical
trials) or their representatives would each submit an average of 3.8
inquiries annually for a total of 1,496 inquiries [1,496 / 390 = 3.8].
Information submitted with each inquiry varies widely in content,
depending on the complexity of the request. Inquiries that are defined
as controlled correspondence may range from a simple inquiry on generic
drug labeling to a more complex inquiry for a formulation assessment
for a specific proposed generic drug product. As a result, these
inquiries can vary between 1 to 10 burden hours, respectively.
    Because the content of inquiries considered controlled
correspondence is widely varied, we are providing an average burden
hour for each inquiry. We estimate that it will take an average of 5
hours per inquiry for industry to gather necessary information, prepare
the request, and submit the request to FDA. As a result, we estimate
that it will take an average of 7,480 total hours annually for industry
to prepare and submit inquiries considered controlled correspondence.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2014-0102]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Hearing

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

ACTION: Notice of renewal of exemptions; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to renew the exemption for one

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed

I. Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for two years if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a level
of safety that is equivalent to or greater than the level that would be
achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the Agency to
renew exemptions at the end of the two-year period.
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding hearing
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person:

    First perceives a forced whispered voice in the better ear at
not less than 5 feet with or without the use of a hearing aid or, if
tested by use of an audiometric device, does not have an average
hearing loss in the better ear greater than 40 decibels at 500 Hz,
1,000 Hz, and 2,000 Hz with or without a hearing aid when the
audiometric device is calibrated to American National Standard
(formerly ASA Standard) Z24.5-1951.

    49 CFR 391.41(b)(11) was adopted in 1970, with a revision in 1971
to allow drivers to be qualified under this standard while wearing a
hearing aid, 35 FR 6458, 6463 (April 22, 1970) and 36 FR 12857 (July 3,
1971).
    The individual listed in this notice has requested a renewal of his
exemption from the hearing standard in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), in
accordance with FMCSA procedures. Accordingly, FMCSA has evaluated this
application for renewal on its merits and decided to extend each
exemption for a renewable two-year period.

II. Request for Comments

    Interested parties or organizations possessing information that
would otherwise show that any, or all, of these drivers are not
currently achieving the statutory level of safety should immediately
notify FMCSA. The Agency will evaluate any adverse evidence submitted
and, if safety is being compromised or if continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA will take immediate steps to revoke the
exemption of a driver.

III. Basis for Renewing Exemptions

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31315(b)(1), an exemption may be granted for no
longer than two years from its approval date and may be renewed upon
application. In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, this
applicant has satisfied the renewal conditions for obtaining an
exemption from the hearing requirement (80 FR 22768). In addition, for
Commercial Driver's License (CDL) holders, the Commercial Driver's

License Information System (CDLIS) and the Motor Carrier Management
Information System (MCMIS) are searched for crash and violation data.
For non-CDL holders, the Agency reviews the driving records from the
State Driver's Licensing Agency (SDLA). These factors provide an
adequate basis for predicting each driver's ability to continue to
safely operate a CMV in interstate commerce.
    The driver in this notice remains in good standing with the Agency
and has not exhibited any medical issues that would compromise his
ability to safely operate a CMV during the previous two-year exemption
period. FMCSA has concluded that renewing the exemption for this
applicant is likely to achieve a level of safety equal to that existing
without the exemption. Therefore, FMCSA has decided to renew each
exemption in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315 for a two-
year period.
    As of May 21, 2016, Timothy Gallagher (PA) has satisfied the
renewal conditions for obtaining an exemption from the hearing
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11), from driving CMVs in interstate
commerce. This driver was included in FMCSA-2014-0102. This exemption
was effective on May 21, 2016, and will expire on May 21, 2018.

IV. Conditions and Requirements

    The exemptions are extended subject to the following conditions:
(1) Each driver must report any crashes or accidents as defined in 49
CFR 390.5; and (2) report all citations and convictions for
disqualifying offenses under 49 CFR part 383 and 49 CFR 391 to FMCSA.
In addition, the driver must also have a copy of the exemption when
driving, for presentation to a duly authorized Federal, State, or local
enforcement official. The driver is prohibited from operating a
motorcoach or bus with passengers in interstate commerce. The exemption
does not exempt the individual from meeting the applicable CDL testing
requirements. Each exemption will be valid for two years unless
rescinded earlier by FMCSA. The exemption will be rescinded if: (1) The
person fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption;
(2) the exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was
maintained before it was granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption
would not be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of this exemption application, FMCSA
renews the exemption of the aforementioned driver from the hearing
requirement in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(11). In accordance with 49 U.S.C.
31136(e) and 31315, the exemption will be valid for two years unless
revoked earlier by FMCSA.

[Docket No. NHTSA-2022-0028]

Agency Information Collection Activities; Notice and Request for
Comment; Evaluation of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria Program

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice and request for comments on a request for approval of a
new information collection.

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

SUMMARY: The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
invites public comments about our intention to request approval from
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a new information
collection. Before a Federal agency can collect certain information
from the public, it must receive approval from OMB. Under procedures
established by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, before seeking OMB
approval, Federal agencies must solicit public comment on proposed
collections of information, including extensions and reinstatement of
previously approved collections. This document describes a collection
of information for which NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval on an
evaluation of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria (MMUCC) program.

Statistics and Analysis (NSA-221),<PHONE_NUMBER>, National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration, W55-233, U.S. Department of
Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), before an agency submits a proposed
collection of information to OMB for approval, it must first publish a
document in the Federal Register providing a 60-day comment period and
otherwise consult with members of the public and affected agencies
concerning each proposed collection of information. The OMB has
promulgated regulations describing what must be included in such a
document. Under OMB's regulation (at 5 CFR 1320.8(d)), an agency must
ask for public comment on the following: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) how to enhance
the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected;
and (d) how to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA
asks for public comments on the following proposed

collection of information for which the agency is seeking approval from
OMB.
    Title: Evaluation of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria
(MMUCC) Program.
    OMB Control Number: NEW.
    Form Number(s): NHTSA Form 1635 and NHTSA Form 1636.
    Type of Request: New information collection.
    Type of Review Requested: Regular.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval: 3 years from date of
approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information: NHTSA is authorized by 49
U.S.C. 30182 and 23 U.S.C. 403 to collect data on motor vehicle traffic
crashes to aid in the identification of issues and the development,
implementation, and evaluation of motor vehicle and highway safety
countermeasures
    The MMUCC guideline identifies a minimum set of motor vehicle crash
data variables and their attributes that States should consider
collecting and including in their State crash data systems. MMUCC is a
voluntary, minimum set of standardized data variables for describing
motor vehicle traffic crashes. MMUCC promotes data uniformity within
the highway safety community by creating a foundation for State crash
data systems to provide the information necessary to improve highway
safety. The crash data is used to identify issues, determine highway
safety messages and strategic communication campaigns, optimize the
location of selective law enforcement, inform decision-makers of needed
highway safety legislation, and evaluate the impact of highway safety
countermeasures. NHTSA developed MMUCC with the Governors Highway
Safety Association in 1998 and have regularly updated the guidelines
together, with the most recent fifth edition published in 2017.
    NHTSA is seeking approval to conduct a national survey of active
law enforcement officers. The purpose of the survey would be to solicit
officers' judgement about collecting the crash data variables described
in the current fifth edition of the Model Minimum Uniform Crash
Criteria (MMUCC) Guideline (DOT HS 812 433, July 2017) as well as to
test officers' abilities to accurately collect both existing MMUCC
variables and proposed new or modified variables.
    First, NHTSA will hire a contractor to contact police chiefs within
the 397 sampling units used by NHTSA's Crash Reporting Sampling System
(CRSS) to request the nomination of four law enforcement officers in
their department who collect crash data to participate in the study.
Specifically, NHTSA is requesting the police chiefs to provide
personally identifiable information (PII) about the nominated law
enforcement officers, including names and contact information (email,
phone, and address) so that NHTSA can contact these officers to
administer a survey on MMUCC data elements and arrange payment of an
honorarium.
    Second, NHTSA will send the officers who were nominated to
participate in this study a unique link to one of two online surveys,
which will examine the feasibility of collecting the MMUCC crash data.
The surveys will collect limited information about each respondent
including the State where they work as a law enforcement officer, the
extent of their training for collecting crash data, and the number of
years the respondents have completed crash reports. The surveys will
collect information about respondents' beliefs and abilities to
accurately collect crash data according to the MMUCC guidelines. The
surveys will ask respondents to rate the difficulty of accurately
collecting specific MMUCC data elements, assess respondents ability to
collect information using MMUCC data elements for fictitious crash
scenarios, and ask for suggestions on how MMUCC data elements can be
improved.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information: States' adoption of MMUCC variables has been slow and
inconsistent. Currently the variables collected on State's police crash
reports alignment to MMUCC variables is less than 50 percent, NHTSA
intends to conduct this information collection to learn why the
alignment rate is so low. Before embarking on the sixth edition of
MMUCC, NHTSA seeks to assess the feasibility of collecting the data
variables in MMUCC and to identify problematic data variables and other
factors that impede States from adopting the MMUCC variables.
    To assess the ability of law enforcement officers to accurately
collect MMUCC crash data variables, NHTSA will conduct an electronic
survey of a national sample of law enforcement officers who complete
crash reports. The survey will ask respondents to review fictitious
crash scenarios and collect the MMUCC data variables. In addition, law
enforcement officers will be asked about their confidence to accurately
collect MMUCC data variables and to provide suggestions for improving
each data variable as needed. Examples of the types of crash data
variables in MMUCC that law enforcement will be asked about include
Direction of Travel, Sequence of Events, Type of Intersection, and
Restraint System Use. The information collected will allow NHTSA to
identify data variables in MMUCC that officers might interpret
differently. The results will inform deliberations about the content of
the next edition of MMUCC. A summary of this research will be published
as an appendix to the next edition of MMUCC.
    Affected Public: Law enforcement.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: NHTSA will send a short letter to
397 chief police officers to request they identify four police officers
within their department to participate in the MMUCC survey. The total
sample is 1,985 (397 police chiefs + 1,588 police officers).
    Frequency: NHTSA plans to conduct this data collection once to
prepare for the sixth edition of MMUCC.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: To calculate the hour burden
and labor cost associated with submitting the Evaluation of the Model
Minimum Uniform Crash Criteria, NHTSA looked at wage estimates for
Front Line Supervisors of Police and Detectives and Police and
Sheriff's Patrol Officers who complete crash forms. NHTSA estimates the
total opportunity costs associated with these burden hours by looking
at the average wage for (1) Front line Supervisors of Police and
Detectives and (2) Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers. The Bureau of
Labor Statistics (BLS) estimates that the average hourly wage for Front
line Supervisors of Police and Detectives (BLS Occupation Code 33-1012)
\1\ is $46.72 and Police and Sheriff's Patrol Officers (BLS Occupation
code 33-3051) is $33.66.\2\ The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates
that wages represent 62.2 percent of total compensation for State and
local government workers, on average.\3\ Therefore, NHTSA estimates the
hourly labor costs to be $75.11($46.72/.622) for Supervisors of Police
and Sheriff's Patrol Officers and $54.12 ($33.66/622) for Police and
Sheriff's Patrol Officers. NHTSA estimates that it will take about 10
minutes (0.17 of an hour) for the police

chiefs to nominate four law enforcement officers who investigate motor
vehicle crashes, resulting in 67.49 (0.17 x 397) hours for 397 police
chiefs. From pilot testing the survey instruments with six former law
enforcement officers who work at NHTSA, the agency estimates that it
will take the law enforcement officers one hour to complete the survey.
Therefore, 1,588 hours for 1,588 law enforcement officers. NHTSA
estimates the total hourly compensation cost for police chiefs to be
$5,069.17 ($75.11 x 67.49 hours). NHTSA estimates the total hourly
compensation cost for law enforcement officers to be $85,942.56 ($54.12
x 1,588 hours). Table 1 provides a summary of the estimated burden
hours and labor costs associated with those respondents.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) is announcing a meeting that will be held in
Washington, DC on February 2nd, 2016 to announce a new initiative and
accept comments from the public about the development of voluntary
evidence-based guidelines (EBGs) for fatigue risk management tailored
to the EMS occupation. This initiative (http://www.ems.gov/pdf/nemsac/2013/NEMSAC-AdvisoryFatigueJan2013.pdf) was started at the behest of
the National Emergency Medical Services Advisory Committee (NEMSAC), a
congressionally authorized Federal Advisory Committee; sponsored by
NHTSA; and the work performed by the National Association of State EMS
Officials (NASEMSO). The fatigue risk management guidelines for the EMS
community will be developed by an interdisciplinary team of sleep and
fatigue scientists, Evidence Based Guideline (EBG) development
specialists, and experts in emergency medicine and EMS. Final results
and dissemination are expected within the next two years. The evidence
based fatigue risk management guidelines will be widely disseminated
across the EMS community through publications, presentations, and at
national stakeholder meetings.
    The meeting will be attended by members of the project team, the
EBG panel, members of the public, and members of the EMS community. The
meeting will begin with short presentations by NHTSA staff and the
project team discussing the dangers of drowsy and fatigued driving and
work, a summary of the project goals and methods for coming to
consensus on the guidelines, the eventual dissemination of the
guidelines, and additional project related activities. A majority of
the time in the meeting will be set aside to accept questions and
comments from the registered attendees after the brief initial
presentations. This is to ensure that the voluntary fatigue risk
management guidelines will address the needs of the entire and diverse

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2019-0022; Product Identifier 2018-NM-162-AD; Amendment
39-19675; AD 2019-13-02]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain The Boeing Company Model 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500
airplanes. This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the lower
lobe skin panel assemblies of the fuselage and an evaluation by the
design approval holder (DAH) indicating that these assemblies are
subject to widespread fatigue damage (WFD). This AD requires
replacement of lower lobe skin panel assemblies, detailed inspections
for scribe lines, and applicable on-

condition actions. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective August 23, 2019.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 23,
2019.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this final rule,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14
CFR part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain The Boeing
Company Model 737-200, -200C, -300, -400, and -500 airplanes. The NPRM
published in the Federal Register on February 22, 2019 (84 FR 5614).
The NPRM was prompted by reports of cracking in the lower lobe skin
panel assemblies of the fuselage. The NPRM proposed to require
replacement of lower lobe skin panel assemblies, detailed inspections
for scribe lines, and applicable on-condition actions.
    The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possibility of skin crack
growth and multiple adjacent cracks at chem-milled steps in the
fuselage skin linking up with each other, which could lead to
decompression or loss of structural integrity of the airplane.

Comments

    The FAA gave the public the opportunity to participate in
developing this final rule. The following presents the comments
received on the NPRM and the FAA's response to each comment.

Effect of Winglets on Accomplishment of the Proposed Actions

    Aviation Partners Boeing stated that accomplishing the Supplemental
Type Certificate (STC) ST01219SE does not affect the actions specified
in the NPRM.
    The FAA concurs with the commenter. The FAA has redesignated
paragraph (c) of the proposed AD as paragraph (c)(1) of this AD and
added paragraph (c)(2) to this AD to state that installation of STC
ST01219SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions
required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE is
installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with the
requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

Request To Revise What Prompted the NPRM

    Boeing requested that the FAA change the SUMMARY section of the
NPRM and paragraph (e) of the proposed AD to indicate that the proposed
AD was prompted by the DAH indication that the lower skin panel
assemblies of the fuselage are subject to WFD. Boeing asserted that
this kind of language was used to address a similar issue in a previous
AD and in the associated service information.
    The FAA partially agrees that this AD was prompted by the DAH
evaluation of WFD in this area, because the DAH did perform the
evaluation. However, the FAA disagrees that this is the only reason for
the creation of the proposed AD. The FAA has revised the SUMMARY
section in this final rule and paragraph (e) of this AD to state that
the AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the lower lobe skin panel
assemblies and by a DAH evaluation that lower lobe skin panel
assemblies of the fuselage are subject to WFD.

Request To Change Organization Designation Authorization (ODA) Name

    Boeing requested that the FAA change ``the Boeing Commercial
Airplanes Organization Designation Authorization (ODA)'' to ``The
Boeing Company Organization Designation Authorization (ODA),'' because
the name of the ODA has changed.
    The FAA agrees with the request. The FAA has made the requested
change in this AD.

Conclusion

    The FAA reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments
received, and determined that air safety and the public interest
require adopting this final rule with the changes described previously
and minor editorial changes. The FAA has determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    The FAA also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB,
dated September 4, 2018. The service information describes procedures
for replacement of lower lobe skin panel assemblies, detailed
inspections for scribe lines, and applicable on-condition actions.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 171 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Parts cost unavailable.

    The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable the
agency to provide cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified
in this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    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 that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, 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.

-300, -400, and -500 airplanes, certificated in any category, as
identified in Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB,
dated September 4, 2018.
    (2) Installation of Supplemental Type Certificate (STC)
ST01219SE does not affect the ability to accomplish the actions
required by this AD. Therefore, for airplanes on which STC ST01219SE
is installed, a ``change in product'' alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) approval request is not necessary to comply with
the requirements of 14 CFR 39.17.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 53, Fuselage.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracking in the lower lobe
skin panel assemblies of the fuselage and an evaluation by the
design approval holder (DAH) indicating that the lower lobe skin
panel assemblies of the fuselage are subject to widespread fatigue
damage (WFD). The FAA is issuing this AD to address the possibility
of skin crack growth and multiple adjacent cracks at chem-milled
steps in the fuselage skin linking up with each other, which could
lead to decompression or loss of structural integrity of the
airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Required Actions

    Except as specified by paragraph (h) of this AD: At the
applicable times specified in the ``Compliance'' paragraph of Boeing
Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB, dated September 4, 2018,
do all applicable actions identified in, and in accordance with, the
Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin
737-53A1379 RB, dated September 4, 2018.

    Note 1 to paragraph (g): Guidance for accomplishing the actions
required by this AD can be found in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin
737-53A1379, dated September 4, 2018, which is referred to in Boeing
Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB, dated September 4, 2018.

(h) Exceptions to Service Information Specifications

    (1) For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements
of this AD: Where Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB,
dated September 4, 2018, uses the phrase ``the original issue date
of Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB,'' this AD requires using
``the effective date of this AD.''
    (2) Where Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 737-53A1379 RB,
dated September 4, 2018, specifies contacting Boeing for work
instructions or for scribe line repair and skin panel replacement
instructions: This AD requires doing the work and the scribe line
repair and skin panel replacement before further flight using a
method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (i) of this AD.

(i) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, has the authority
to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures
found in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your
request to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards
District Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to
the manager of the certification office, send it to the attention of
the person identified in paragraph (j) of this

AD. Information may be emailed to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding
district office.
    (3) An AMOC that provides an acceptable level of safety may be
used for any repair, modification, or alteration required by this AD
if it is approved by The Boeing Company Organization Designation
Authorization (ODA) that has been authorized by the Manager, Los
Angeles ACO Branch, FAA, to make those findings. To be approved, the
repair method, modification deviation, or alteration deviation must
meet the certification basis of the airplane, and the approval must
specifically refer to this AD.
