III. Deletion Procedures
IV. Basis for Partial Site Deletion

I. Introduction

    EPA Region 5 announces its intent to delete OU1--Landfill Cap Area
of the Douglas Road Site from the NPL and requests public comment on
this proposed action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part
300, which is the NCP. EPA promulgated the NCP pursuant to Section 105
of CERCLA of 1980, as amended. EPA maintains the NPL as the list of
sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health,
welfare, or the environment. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund).
As described in 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the
NPL remain eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions if future
conditions warrant such actions. The Operable Unit 2 (OU2)--the
groundwater portion of the Site will remain on the NPL and is not being
considered for deletion as part of this action.
    EPA will accept comments on the proposal to delete OU1 of the
Douglas Road Site for thirty (30) days after publication of this
document in the Federal Register.
    Section II of this document explains the criteria for deleting
sites from the NPL. Section III discusses the procedures that EPA is
using for this action. Section IV discusses where to access and review
information that demonstrates how the deletion criteria have been met
at OU1 of the Douglas Road Site.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

    The NCP establishes the criteria that EPA uses to delete sites from
the NPL. In accordance with 40 CFR 300.425(e), sites, or portions
thereof, may be deleted from the NPL where no further response is
appropriate. In making such a determination pursuant to 40 CFR
300.425(e), EPA will consider, in consultation with the State, whether
any of the following criteria have been met:
    i. Responsible parties or other persons have implemented all
appropriate response actions required;
    ii. All appropriate Fund-financed response under CERCLA has been
implemented, and no further response action by responsible parties is
appropriate; or
    iii. The remedial investigation has shown that the release poses no
significant threat to public health or the environment and, therefore,
the taking of remedial measures is not appropriate.
    Pursuant to CERCLA Section 121(c) and the NCP, EPA conducts five-
year reviews to ensure the continued protectiveness of remedial actions
where hazardous substances, pollutants, or contaminants remain at a
site above levels that allow for unlimited use and unrestricted
exposure. EPA conducts such five-year reviews even if a site is deleted
from the NPL. EPA may initiate further action to ensure continued
protectiveness at a deleted site if new information becomes available
that indicates it is appropriate. Whenever there is a significant
release from a site deleted from the NPL, the deleted site may be
restored to the NPL without application of the hazard ranking system.

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures apply to deletion of OU1--Landfill Cap
Area of the Douglas Road Site from the NPL:
    (1) EPA consulted with the State of Indiana prior to developing
this Notification of Intent for Partial Deletion.
    (2) EPA has provided the State thirty (30) working days for review
of this document prior to publication of it today.
    (3) In accordance with the criteria discussed above, EPA has
determined that no further response is appropriate for OU1--Landfill
Cap Area of the Site.
    (4) The State of Indiana, through the IDEM, concurred with deletion
of OU1--Landfill Cap Area of the Douglas Road Site from the NPL on May
12, 2020.
    (5) Concurrently with the publication of this Notification of
Intent for Partial Deletion in the Federal Register, an announcement of
the availability of the Notification of Intent for Partial Deletion is
being published in a major local newspaper, the South Bend Tribune. The
newspaper notice announces the 30-day public comment period concerning
the Notification of Intent for Partial Deletion of the Douglas Road
Site from the NPL.
    (6) EPA placed copies of documents supporting the proposed partial
deletion in the deletion docket and made these items available for
public inspection and copying at https://www.regulations.gov, Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-SFUND-1989-0008 and on the EPA's Douglas Road Site web page
at https://cumulis.epa.gov/supercpad/SiteProfiles/index.cfm?fuseaction=second.docdata&id=0501696.
    If comments are received within the 30-day public comment period on
this document, EPA will evaluate and respond appropriately to the
comments before making a final decision to delete OU1--Landfill Cap
Area of the Douglas Road Site from the NPL. If necessary, EPA will
prepare a Responsiveness Summary to address any significant public
comments received. After the public comment period, if EPA determines
it is still appropriate to delete OU1 of the Douglas Road Site from the
NPL, the EPA will publish a final Notification of Partial Deletion in
the Federal Register. Public notices, public submissions, and copies of
the Responsiveness Summary, if prepared, will be made available to
interested parties and in the docket listed above.

    Deletion of a portion of a site from the NPL does not itself
create, alter, or revoke any individual's rights or obligations.
Deletion of a portion of a site from the NPL does not in any way alter
EPA's right to take enforcement actions, as appropriate. The NPL is
designed primarily for informational purposes and to assist EPA
management. Section 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that the deletion
of a site or a portion of a site from the NPL does not preclude
eligibility for future response actions, should future conditions
warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Partial Site Deletion

    The EPA placed copies of a Site-Specific Justification for the
Partial Deletion from the NPL of Operable Unit 1--Landfill Cap Area of
the Douglas Road/Uniroyal, Inc. Landfill Superfund Site and other
documents supporting the proposed partial deletion in the deletion
docket. The material provides explanation of EPA's rationale for the
partial deletion and demonstrates how OU1--Landfill Cap Area of the
Douglas Road Site meets the NPL deletion criteria. This information is
made available for public inspection in the docket identified above.

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2018-0187, dated August 29, 2018 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for all Saab AB, Saab
Aeronautics Model SAAB 2000 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Occurrences were reported that certain fuel probes, installed on
SAAB 2000 aeroplanes, indicated misleading fuel quantities on the
engine indicating and crew alerting system (EICAS). The
investigation results suggest that this may be an ageing phenomenon,
leading to deteriorated capacity of the fuel probes.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
incorrect fuel reading, possibly resulting in fuel starvation and
uncommanded engine in-flight shut-down, with consequent reduced
control of the aeroplane.
    To address this potential unsafe condition, SAAB issued the SB
[service bulletin] to provide instructions for a functional check.
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time functional check of the fuel quantity system and the fuel low
level EICAS warnings to determine whether any affected parts are out
of tolerance and, depending on findings, replacement of those
affected parts.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0964.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Saab AB, Saab Aeronautics has issued Service Bulletin 2000-28-028,
dated April 19, 2018. This service information describes procedures for
a functional check of the fuel indicator gauging accuracy and the low
level warning, and for replacing the affected part with a serviceable
part if necessary. 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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all the relevant information and determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Proposed Requirements of This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information described previously.

Difference Between MCAI and Proposed AD

    The MCAI requires corrective actions if a functional check reveals
that any fuel indicator value is out of tolerance, according to the
limits and conditions specified in the Master Minimum Equipment List
(MMEL). This proposed AD does not refer to the MMEL because operators
are required by 14 CFR part 91 to have a Minimum Equipment List (MEL)
to operate with inoperable equipment, and the acceptable limits and
conditions for the fuel indicator values cannot be in an MEL without

first being part of the MMEL. Paragraph (i) of this proposed AD
therefore states that the corrective actions that would be required
based on the results of the functional check would depend on the limits
and conditions specified in the operator's MEL.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S.
registry. We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed
AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8 work-hours x $85 per hour = $680...........................              $0             $680           $5,440
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We estimate the following costs to do any necessary on-condition
action that would be required based on the results of any required
actions. We have no way of determining the number of aircraft that
might need this on-condition action:

                 Estimated Costs of On-Condition Action
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                             Cost per
              Labor cost                   Parts cost        product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 work-hour x $85 per hour = $170.....          $6,295           $6,465
------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
    This proposed 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 to the Director of the System Oversight
Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

9095B  1 Revision 2 August 2002 METHOD 9095B PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST 1.0 SCOPE AND APPLICATION 1.1 This method is used to determine the presence of free liquids in a representative sample of waste.

1.2 The method is used to determine compliance with 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.

2.0 SUMMARY OF METHOD 2.1 A predetermined amount of material is placed in a paint filter. If any portion of the material passes through and drops from the filter within the 5 min test period, the material is deemed to contain free liquids.

3.0 INTERFERENCES 3.1 Filter media were observed to separate from the filter cone on exposure to alkaline materials. This development causes no problem if the sample is not disturbed.

3.2 Temperature can affect the test results if the test is performed below the freezing point of any liquid in the sample. Tests must be performed above the freezing point and can, but are not required to, exceed room temperature of 25 oC.

4.0 APPARATUS AND MATERIALS 4.1 Conical paint filter: Mesh number 60 +/ 5% ( fine meshed size). Available at local paint stores such as Sherwin Williams and Glidden.

4.2 Glass funnel: If the paint filter, with the waste, cannot sustain its weight on the ring stand, then a fluted glass funnel or glass funnel with a mouth large enough to allow at least 1 in. of the filter mesh to protrude should be used to support the filter. The funnel should be fluted or have a large open mouth in order to support the paint filter yet not interfere with the movement, to the graduated cylinder, of the liquid that passes through the filter mesh.

4.3 Ring stand and ring, or tripod.

4.4 Graduated cylinder or beaker: 100 mL.

5.0 REAGENTS 5.1 None. 9095B  2 Revision 2 August 2002 6.0 SAMPLE COLLECTION, PRESERVATION, AND HANDLING A 100 mL or 100 g representative sample is required for the test. If it is not possible to obtain a sample of 100 mL or 100 g that is sufficiently representative of the waste, the analyst may use larger size samples in multiples of 100 mL or 100 g, i. e., 200, 300, 400 mL or g. However, when larger samples are used, analysts shall divide the sample into 100 mL or 100 g portions and test each portion separately. If any portion contains free liquids, the entire sample is considered to have free liquids. If the sample is measured volumetrically, then it should lack major air spaces or voids.

7.0 PROCEDURE 7.1 Assemble test apparatus as shown in Figure 1.

7.2 Place sample in the filter. A funnel may be used to provide support for the paint filter. If the sample is of such light bulk density that it overflow the filter, then the sides of the filter can be extended upward by taping filter paper to the inside of the filter and above the mesh. Settling the sample into the paint filter may be facilitated by lightly tapping the side of the filter as it is being filled.

7.3 In order to assure uniformity and standardization of the test, material such as sorbent pads or pillows which do not conform to the shape of the paint filter, should be cut into small pieces and poured into the filter. Sample size reduction may be accomplished by cutting the sorbent material with scissors, shears, knife, or other such device so as to preserve as much of the original integrity of the sorbent fabric as possible. Sorbents enclosed in a fabric should be mixed with the resultant fabric pieces. The particles to be tested should be reduced smaller than 1 cm ( i. e., should be capable of passing through a 9.5 mm ( 0.375 inch) standard sieve). Grinding sorbent materials should be avoided as this may destroy the integrity of the sorbent and produce many " fine particles" which would normally not be present.

7.4 For brittle materials larger than 1 cm that do not conform to the filter, light crushing to reduce oversize particles is acceptable if it is not practical to cut the material. Materials such as clay, silica gel, and some polymers may fall into this category.

7.5 Allow sample to drain for 5 min into the graduated cylinder.

7.6 If any portion of the test material collects in the graduated cylinder in the 5 min period, then the material is deemed to contain free liquids for purposes of 40 CFR 264.314 and 265.314.

8.0 QUALITY CONTROL 8.1 Duplicate samples should be analyzed on a routine basis.

9.0 METHOD PERFORMANCE 9.1 No data provided.

10.0 REFERENCES 10.1 None provided. 9095B  3 Revision 2 August 2002 FIGURE 1. PAINT FILTER TEST APPARATUS. 9095B  4 Revision 2 August 2002 METHOD 9095B PAINT FILTER LIQUIDS TEST

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0729; Airspace Docket No. 14-ASO-10]

Establishment of Class E Airspace; Key Largo, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action establishes Class E Airspace at Key Largo, FL, to
accommodate new Area Navigation (RNAV) Global Positioning System (GPS)
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) serving Ocean Reef Club
Airport. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and management
of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, June 25, 2015. The Director of the Federal
Register approves this incorporation by reference action under title 1,
Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual revision of
FAA Order

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On November 26, 2014, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to establish Class E airspace at
Ocean Reef Club Airport, Key Largo, FL, (79 FR 70478). Interested
parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by
submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments
were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9Y dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.9Y, airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2014, and effective September 15,
2014. FAA Order 7400.9Y is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this final rule. FAA Order 7400.9Y lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 establishes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet
above the surface within a 7-mile radius of Ocean Reef Club Airport,
Key Largo, FL. Controlled airspace is required to support the new RNAV
(GPS) standard instrument approach procedures for Ocean Reef Club
Airport.
    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, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. 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. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. This
rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle
VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is
charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace
necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority as it
establishes controlled airspace at Ocean Reef Club Airport, Key Largo,
FL.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 15c2-11; SEC File No. 270-196, OMB Control No. 3235-0202.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (``PRA''), the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
existing collection of information provided for in Rule 15c2-11, (17
CFR 240.15c2-11), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C.
78a et seq.) (``Exchange Act''). The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget (``OMB'') for extension and approval.
    Rule 15c2-11 under the Securities Exchange Act regulates the
initiation or resumption of quotations in a quotation medium by a
broker-dealer for over-the-counter (``OTC'') securities. The Rule was
designed primarily to prevent certain manipulative and fraudulent
trading schemes that had arisen in connection with the distribution and
trading of unregistered securities issued by shell companies or other
companies having outstanding but infrequently traded securities.
Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule prohibits broker-dealers from
publishing a quotation for a security, or submitting a quotation for
publication, in a quotation medium unless they have reviewed specified
information concerning the security and the issuer.
    Based on information provided by Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc. (``FINRA''), in the 2013 calendar year, FINRA received
approximately 1,009 applications from broker-dealers to initiate or
resume publication of quotations of covered OTC securities on the OTC
Bulletin Board and/or OTC Link or other quotation mediums. We estimate
that (i) 31% of the covered OTC securities were issued by reporting
issuers, while the other 69% were issued by non-reporting issuers, and
(ii) it will take a broker-dealer about 4 hours to review, record and
retain the information pertaining to a reporting issuer, and about 8
hours to review, record and retain the information pertaining to a non-
reporting issuer.
    We therefore estimate that broker-dealers who initiate or resume
publication of quotations for covered OTC securities of reporting
issuers will require 1,236 hours (1,009 x 31% x 4) to review, record
and retain the information required by the Rule. We estimate that
broker-dealers who initiate or resume publication of quotations for
covered OTC securities of non-reporting issuers will require 5,600
hours (1,009 x 69% x 8) to review, record and retain the information
required by the Rule. Thus, we estimate the total annual burden hours
for broker-dealers to initiate or resume publication of quotations of
covered OTC securities to be 6,836 hours (1,236 + 5,600). The
Commission believes that these 6,836 hours would be borne by internal
staff working at a rate of $53 per hour.\1\

    Subject to certain exceptions, the Rule prohibits broker-dealers
from publishing a quotation for a security, or submitting a quotation
for publication, in a quotation medium unless they have reviewed
specified information concerning the security and the issuer. The
broker-dealer must also make the information reasonably available upon
request to any person expressing an interest in a proposed transaction
in the security with such broker or dealer. The collection of
information that is submitted to FINRA for review and approval is
currently not available to the public from FINRA.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to

enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected;
and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi
