DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket No. FRA-2010-0030]

Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's Request To Amend Its
Positive Train Control System

AGENCY: Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Notice of availability and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: This document provides the public with notice that, on April
7, 2023, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA)
submitted a request for amendment (RFA) to its FRA-certified positive
train control (PTC) system in order to support the implementation of
PTC on its commuter rail network. On MBTA's North Side, the PTC System
in the area is being reconfigured and must be taken out of service
during the recommissioning of Automatic Train Control (ATC) and the
subsequent recommissioning of MBTA's Advanced Civil Speed Enforcement
System II (ACSES II). FRA is publishing this notice and inviting public
comment on the railroad's RFA to its PTC system.

DATES: FRA will consider comments received by May 11, 2023. FRA may
consider comments received after that date to the extent practicable
and without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary
modifications to a PTC system.

ADDRESSES:
    Comments: Comments may be submitted by going to https://www.regulations.gov and following the online instructions for
submitting comments.
    Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and the
applicable docket number. The relevant PTC docket number for this host
railroad is Docket No. FRA-2010-0030. For convenience, all active PTC
dockets are hyperlinked on FRA's website at https://railroads.dot.gov/research-development/program-areas/train-control/ptc/railroads-ptc-dockets. All comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov; this includes any personal information.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Gabe Neal, Staff Director, Signal,
Train Control, and Crossings Division, telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>, email:
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general, Title 49 United States Code
(U.S.C.) Section 20157(h) requires FRA to certify that a host
railroad's PTC system complies with Title 49 Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) part 236, subpart I, before the technology may be
operated in revenue service. Before making certain changes to an FRA-
certified PTC system or the associated FRA-approved PTC Safety Plan
(PTCSP), a host railroad must submit, and obtain FRA's approval of, an
RFA to its PTC system or PTCSP under 49 CFR 236.1021.
    Under 49 CFR 236.1021(e), FRA's regulations provide that FRA will
publish a notice in the Federal Register and invite public comment in
accordance with 49 CFR part 211, if an RFA includes a request for
approval of a material modification of a signal and train control
system. Accordingly, this notice informs the public that, on April 7,
2023, MBTA submitted an RFA to its ACSES II system, which seeks FRA's
approval to install Construction Zone (CZ) Transponders on MBTA's
Western Route Main Line (WRML) segment between June and December 2023.
MBTA state that the installation of the CZs is required to implement
ATC and to reconfigure and retest PTC on MBTA's WRML. The CZs will
result in the suspension of portions of the PTC system on these lines.
During this time there will be no revenue passenger operations until
the ATC system is placed into operation. Freight and non-revenue
passenger operations will be conducted under NORAC rule 241 that limits
trains to Restricted Speed. Once the ATC system is in operation, the
ATC system along with the operating rules will govern train operations
until the test and commissioning of the reconfigured ACSES system is
complete. The RFA is available in Docket No. FRA-2010-0030.
    Interested parties are invited to comment on MBTA's RFA to its PTC
system by submitting written comments or data. During FRA's review of
this railroad's RFA, FRA will consider any comments or data submitted
within the timeline specified in this notice and to the extent
practicable, without delaying implementation of valuable or necessary
modifications to a PTC system. See 49 CFR 236.1021; see also 49 CFR
236.1011(e). Under 49 CFR 236.1021, FRA maintains the authority to
approve, approve with conditions, or deny a railroad's RFA to its PTC
system at FRA's sole discretion.

Privacy Act Notice

    In accordance with 49 CFR 211.3, FRA solicits comments from the
public to better inform its decisions. DOT posts these comments,
without edit, including any personal information the commenter
provides, to https://www.regulations.gov, as described in the system of
records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at https://www.transportation.gov/privacy. See https://www.regulations.gov/privacy-notice for the privacy notice of regulations.gov. To facilitate
comment tracking, we encourage commenters to provide their name, or the
name of their organization; however, submission of names is completely
optional. If you wish to provide comments containing proprietary or
confidential information, please contact FRA for alternate submission
instructions.

    Issued in Washington, DC.

COS--Certificate Management Branch, ACE-102A, FAA, Atlanta Aircraft
Certification Office, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College Park, GA 30337;
telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 15, 2009, we issued AD 2009-15-16,
which applies to all McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-10 series airplanes,
DC-9-30 series airplanes, DC-9-81 (MD-81) airplanes, DC-9-82 (MD-82)
airplanes, DC-9-83 (MD-83) airplanes, DC-9-87 (MD-87) airplanes, MD-88
airplanes, and MD-90-30 airplanes.

Background

    We have received a report indicating that certain equipment of the
flight deck door is defective. This condition, if not corrected, could
result in failure of the equipment, which could jeopardize flight
safety.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed TIMCO Service Bulletin TSB-88-52-045, Revision E, dated
November 6, 2008. The service bulletin describes procedures for
correcting the defect in the flight deck door.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    Since the unsafe condition described is likely to exist or develop
on other airplanes of the same type design, we issued AD 2009-15-16 to
prevent failure of certain equipment of the flight deck door, which
could jeopardize flight safety. The AD requires accomplishing the
actions specified in the service information previously described.
    We have determined that notice and opportunity for prior public
comment on AD 2009-15-16 were contrary to the public interest, and good
cause existed to make the AD effective immediately by individual
notices issued on July 15, 2009, to all known U.S. owners and operators
of McDonnell Douglas Model DC-9-10 series airplanes, DC-9-30 series
airplanes, DC-9-81 (MD-81) airplanes, DC-9-82 (MD-82) airplanes, DC-9-
83 (MD-83) airplanes, DC-9-87 (MD-87) airplanes, MD-88 airplanes, and
MD-90-30 airplanes. These conditions still exist, and the AD is hereby
published in the Federal Register as an amendment to section 39.13 of
the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to make it effective to
all persons.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not provide you with notice and an opportunity to
provide your comments before it becomes effective. However, we invite
you to send any written data, views, or arguments about this AD. Send
your comments to an address listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include
``Docket No. FAA-2010-0637; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-062-AD'' at
the beginning of your comments. We specifically invite comments on the
overall regulatory, economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this
AD. We will consider all comments received by the closing date and may
amend this AD because of those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://
www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    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) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    (3) Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

Airworthiness Directives; Engine Alliance Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2019-18-08
which applied to all Engine Alliance (EA) GP7270 and GP7277 model
turbofan engines. AD 2019-18-08 required a visual inspection of the
engine fan hub assembly, initial and repetitive eddy current
inspections (ECIs) of the engine fan hub blade slot bottom and blade
slot front edge for cracks, and replacement of the engine fan hub blade
lock assembly for certain affected engines. This AD continues to
require initial and repetitive ECIs and adds an ultrasonic test (UT)
inspection. This AD also lowers the repetitive ECI threshold, and
requires an independent inspection of the engine fan hub assembly at
the next disassembly and the next reassembly of the engine fan hub
blade lock assembly and a visual inspection of the engine fan hub
assembly for damage. This AD also requires replacement of the engine
fan hub assembly with a part eligible for installation if damage is
found outside serviceable limits. This AD was prompted by an
uncontained failure of the engine fan hub. The FAA is issuing this AD
to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 12, 2022.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in this AD as of January 12,
2022.
    The FAA must receive any comments on this AD by February 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2019-18-08, Amendment 39-19735 (84 FR 49944,
September 24, 2019), (AD 2019-18-08), for all EA GP7270 and GP7277
model turbofan engines. AD 2019-18-08 required, for certain GP7270 and
GP7277 model turbofan engines, an initial and repetitive ECI of the
engine fan hub blade slot bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks.
For all GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, AD 2019-18-08 also
required an independent inspection of the engine fan hub assembly prior
to the reassembly of the engine fan hub blade lock assembly and a
visual inspection of the engine fan hub assembly for damage. For
certain serial numbered GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines, AD
2019-18-08 required replacement of the engine fan hub blade lock
assembly with a part eligible for installation. AD 2019-18-08 resulted
from the manufacturer identifying a fatigue crack originating inboard
of a blade slot after the manufacturer performed a metallurgical
examination of the engine fan hub that was recovered, related to an
uncontained engine hub failure that occurred on September 30, 2017.
After performing a risk assessment, the manufacturer determined the
need to reduce the compliance time for the initial ECI and add a
repetitive ECI. The FAA issued AD 2019-18-08 to detect defects, damage,
and cracks that could result in an uncontained failure of the engine
fan hub assembly.

Actions Since AD 2019-18-08 Was Issued

    Since the FAA issued AD 2019-18-08, EA has revised its Alert
Service Bulletin, reducing the repetitive ECI interval from 330 cycles
to 290 cycles, and adding an inner diameter UT inspection of the rim
area for cracks. EA published EA Turbojet Engine Alert Service Bulletin
(ASB) No. EAGP7-A72-389, Revision No. 7, dated October 8, 2021, to
update the repetitive inspection interval for performing the ECIs and
add UT inspections. The FAA

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

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this AD because the agency determined the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop in other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed EA Turbojet Engine ASB No. EAGP7-A72-389, Revision
No. 7, dated October 8, 2021. This ASB describes procedures for
performing an ECI of the engine fan hub blade slot bottom and blade
slot front edge, and performing a UT inspection of the fan hub rim area
for engine fan hub assemblies at the LPC module assembly level, at the
piece part level, and installed in an engine (on-wing or off-wing).
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 ADDRESSES.

from the A380 AMM, and Task 72-00-31-220-010 of the EA GP7000 Series
EM. Table 601 and Task 72-00-31-220-010 describe acceptable damage
service limits for the engine fan hub assembly.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires, for GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan engines with
engine fan hub assembly part numbers (P/Ns) 5760221, 5760321, or
5760001, initial and repetitive ECI of the engine fan hub blade slot
bottom and blade slot front edge for cracks. Additionally, this AD
lowers the repetitive ECI threshold, in conjunction with the added
repetitive UT inspection threshold. This AD also requires initial and
repetitive UT inspections of the fan hub rim area. This AD also
requires an independent inspection of the engine fan hub assembly at
the next disassembly and the next reassembly of the engine fan hub
blade lock assembly and a visual inspection of the engine fan hub
assembly for damage. This AD also requires replacement of the engine
fan hub assembly with a part eligible for installation if damage is
found outside serviceable limits.
    For certain serial-numbered GP7270 and GP7277 model turbofan
engines, this AD requires replacement of the engine fan hub blade lock
assembly with a part eligible for installation.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD to be an interim action. If final action
is later identified, the FAA might consider further rulemaking.

Justification for Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    The FAA has found the risk to the flying public justifies waiving
notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because no domestic
operators use this product. It is unlikely that the FAA will receive
any adverse comments or useful information about this AD from any U.S.
operator. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are unnecessary, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for
the foregoing reason(s), the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant
to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written data, views, or arguments
about this final rule. Send your comments to an address listed under
ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2021-1069 and Project Identifier
AD-2021-00308-E'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this final rule because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this final rule.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Stephen
Elwin, Aviation Safety Engineer, ECO Branch, FAA, 1200 District Avenue,
Burlington, MA 01803. Any commentary that the FAA receives which is not
specifically designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for
this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) do not
apply when an agency finds good cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt
a rule without prior notice and comment. Because FAA has determined
that it has good cause to

adopt this rule without prior notice and comment, RFA analysis is not
required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 0 engines installed on
airplanes of U.S. registry.
    The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with 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.

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, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 15, 2014, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania submitted, through the Department of Environmental
Protection (PADEP), a revision to its SIP to address for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS the elements of CAA section 110(a)(2) with the
exception of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). EPA approved portions of that
SIP revision on May 8, 2015. See 80 FR 26461. In that action, EPA
approved for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS all elements except for
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (relating to the protection of visibility,
also known as prong 4), for which EPA stated it would take later
separate action. Because the July 15, 2014 SIP submittal did not
address 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA
took no rulemaking action addressing whether Pennsylvania had addressed
that specific element. EPA's previous approval on that July 15, 2014
submittal is not at issue in this proposed rulemaking action and is
mentioned herein for background; EPA is not at this time taking action
on the remaining section of PADEP's July 15, 2014 submittal relating to
visibility protection for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS.
    On October 11, 2017, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, through
PADEP submitted a SIP revision addressing the infrastructure
requirements under section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of the CAA for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS.

I. Background

A. General

    Particle pollution is a complex mixture of extremely small
particles and liquid droplets in the air. When inhaled, these particles
can reach the deepest regions of the lungs. Exposure to particle
pollution is linked to a variety of significant health problems.
Particle pollution also is the main cause of visibility impairment in
the nation's cities and national parks. PM2.5 can be emitted
directly into the atmosphere, or they can form from chemical reactions
of precursor gases including sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen
dioxide (NO2), certain volatile organic compounds (VOC), and
ammonia. On January 15, 2013, EPA revised the level of the health based
(primary) annual PM2.5 standard to 12 micrograms per cubic
meter ([micro]g/m\3\). See 78 FR 3086.

B. EPA's Infrastructure Requirements

    Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are required to
submit a SIP revision to address the applicable requirements of section
110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section
110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP elements to assure
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS--such as requirements for
monitoring, basic program requirements, and legal authority. Section
110(a) imposes the obligation upon states to make a SIP submission to
EPA for a new or revised NAAQS, but the contents of that submission may
vary depending upon the facts and circumstances of each NAAQS and what
is in each state's existing SIP. In particular, the data and analytical
tools available at the time the state develops and submits the SIP
revision for a new or revised NAAQS affect the content of the
submission. The content of such SIP submission may also vary depending
upon what provisions the state's existing SIP already contains.
    Specifically, section 110(a)(1) provides the procedural and timing
requirements for SIP submissions. Section 110(a)(2) lists specific
elements that states must meet for infrastructure SIP requirements
related to a newly established or revised NAAQS such as requirements
for monitoring, basic program requirements, and legal authority that
are designed to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS.

C. Interstate Pollution Transport Requirements

    Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) of the CAA requires a state's SIP to
address any emissions activity in one state that contributes
significantly to nonattainment, or interferes with maintenance, of the
NAAQS in any downwind state. The EPA sometimes refers to these
requirements as prong 1 (significant contribution to nonattainment) and
prong 2 (interference with maintenance), or jointly as the ``good
neighbor'' provision of the CAA. Further information can be found in
the Technical Support Document (TSD) for this rulemaking action, which
is available online at www.regulations.gov, Docket number EPA-R03-OAR-
2018-0054.

II. Summary of SIP Revisions and EPA Analysis

    Pennsylvania's October 11, 2017 SIP submittal includes a summary of
statewide annual emissions of PM2.5, coarse particulate
matter (PM10), and precursors of PM2.5 including
oxides of nitrogen (NOX), SO2, ammonia, and VOCs.
Pennsylvania also included statewide SO2 and NOX
emissions specifically from the electric generating units (EGU) sector
as EGUs are the largest contributor to the point source emissions. The
emissions summary shows that, for the years 2011 through 2015,
emissions of all pollutants presented have been steadily decreasing or
remained nearly steady for sources that potentially contribute with
respect to the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS to nonattainment in, or
interfere with maintenance of, any other state. The submittal also
included annual PM2.5 design values (DVs) in Pennsylvania
for the ten most recent years of available data (2006 through 2015).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``Design value'' means the ``calculated concentration
according to the applicable appendix of [40 CFR part 50] for the
highest site in an attainment or nonattainment area.'' 40 CFR 58.1
(definitions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pennsylvania also discussed EPA's March 17, 2016 memorandum (2016
PM2.5 Memorandum) and the fact that EPA's analysis showed
that only one monitor in the eastern United States had projected
PM2.5 data above the 12.0 [micro]g/m\3\ NAAQS value
(Allegheny County, PA).\2\ Pennsylvania also generally discussed the
direction of prevailing winds as being from west to east and that, due
to the sheer distance of 2,000 to 3,000 miles, Pennsylvania should not
affect Idaho or California. Additionally, Pennsylvania described
several existing SIP-approved measures and other federally enforceable
source-specific measures, pursuant to permitting requirements under the
CAA, that apply to sources of PM2.5 and its precursors
within the Commonwealth. Pennsylvania alleges with these measures,
emissions reductions, ambient monitored PM2.5 data, and
meteorological data, the Commonwealth does not significantly contribute
to, or interfere with the maintenance of, another state for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS. A detailed summary of Pennsylvania's submittal
and EPA's review and rationale for approval of this SIP revision as
meeting CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2012 PM2.5
NAAQS may be found in the TSD for this rulemaking action, which is
available online at www.regulations.gov, Docket number EPA-R03-OAR-
2018-0054.

    \2\ ``Information on the Interstate Transport ``Good Neighbor''
Provision for the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards under Clean Air Act Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I),''
memorandum from Stephan D. Page, Director, EPA Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA used the information in the 2016 PM2.5 Memorandum
and additional information for the evaluation and came to the same
conclusion as Pennsylvania. As discussed in greater detail in the

TSD, EPA identified the potential downwind nonattainment and
maintenance receptors identified in the 2016 PM2.5
Memorandum, and then evaluated them to determine if Pennsylvania's
emissions could potentially contribute to nonattainment and maintenance
problems in 2021, the attainment year for moderate PM2.5
nonattainment areas for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. Specifically,
the EPA analysis identified the following areas as potential
nonattainment and maintenance receptors: (i) 17 potential receptors in
California; (ii) one potential receptor in Shoshone County, Idaho;
(iii) data gaps exist for the monitors in four counties in Florida; and
(iv) data gaps exist for all monitors in Illinois. For the 17 receptors
in California and one potential receptor in Idaho, based on EPA's
evaluation of distance and wind direction, EPA proposes to conclude
that Pennsylvania's emissions do not significantly impact those
receptors. For the four counties in Florida and the monitors in
Illinois with data gaps, EPA initially treats those receptors as
potential nonattainment or maintenance receptors, but it is unlikely
that they will be nonattainment or maintenance receptors in 2021
because the most recent air quality data (from 2015-2017 for Florida
and from 2015-2016 for Illinois) indicates that all monitors are likely
attaining the PM2.5 NAAQS and are therefore unlikely to be
nonattainment or maintenance concerns in 2021. Therefore, EPA proposes
to conclude that Pennsylvania emissions will not contribute to any of
those receptors. For these reasons, EPA is proposing to find that
Pennsylvania's existing SIP provisions as identified in the October 11,
2017 SIP submittal are adequate to prevent its emission sources from
significantly contributing to nonattainment or interfering with
maintenance in another state with respect to the 2012 PM2.5
NAAQS.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the Pennsylvania SIP revision
addressing the interstate transport requirements for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS in CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), which was
submitted on October 11, 2017. EPA is soliciting public comments on the
issues discussed in this document. These comments will be considered
before taking final action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     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 CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this proposed rule, regarding Pennsylvania's
interstate transport SIP for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, does not
have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the proposed rule is the Coast Guard's
authority to establish safety zones: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter
701, 3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6
160.5; Pub. L. 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.
    The purpose of the proposed rule is to ensure safety of life and
property on navigable waters of the United States during the Daytona
Beach Grand Prix of the Seas.

C. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    Powerboat P1-USA hosts the Daytona Beach Grand Prix of the Sea, a
series of high-speed personal watercraft boat races, every year on the
last weekend of April.
    The proposed rule would establish a safety zone that encompasses
certain waters of the Atlantic Ocean east of Daytona Beach, Florida.
Approximately 50 high-speed personal watercrafts are anticipated to
participate in the races, and approximately 20 spectator vessels are
expected to attend the event.
    This proposed safety zone would be enforced from 7 a.m. on Friday
until 7 p.m. on Sunday during the last weekend in April. The regulated
area would consist of the following location: (1) All waters of the
Atlantic Ocean encompassed within the following points: starting at
Point 1 in position 29[deg]14.601' N, 81[deg]00.767' W; thence south to
Point 2 in position 29[deg]13.677' N, 81[deg]00.283' W; thence east to
Point 3 in position 29[deg]13.860' N, 080[deg]59.763' W; thence north
to Point 4 in position 29[deg]14.781' N, 80[deg]59.802' W; thence west
back to origin. Persons and vessels desiring to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the regulated area may contact the Captain
of the Port Jacksonville via telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or a
designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16, to request
authorization. If authorization to enter, transit through, anchor in,
or remain in the regulated area is granted by the Captain of the Port
Jacksonville or a designated representative, all persons and vessels
receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions of the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative. The
Coast Guard will provide notice to the maritime community when this
safety zone will be in effect via Broadcast Notice to Mariners or by
on-scene designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

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

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
as supplemented

by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or under section 1 of
Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and Budget has not
reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this proposed rule is not significant for
the following reasons: (1) The safety zone would be enforced for a
total of only 36 hours over the course of three days; (2) although
persons and vessels would not be able to enter, transit through, anchor
in, or remain within the safety zone without authorization from the
Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative, they
would be able to operate in the surrounding area during the enforcement
period; (3) persons and vessels would still be able to enter, transit
through, anchor in, or remain within the safety zone if authorized by
the Captain of the Port Jacksonville or a designated representative;
and (4) the Coast Guard would provide advance notification of the
safety zone to the local maritime community via Broadcast Notice to
Mariners or by on-scene designated representative.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered the impact of this proposed rule on small entities. The
Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this proposed rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that
this proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. This proposed rule may affect the
following entities, some of which may be small entities: the owners or
operators of vessels intending to enter, transit through, anchor in, or
remain within the portion of the Atlantic Ocean encompassed within the
safety zone from 7 a.m. on Friday until 7:00 p.m. on Sunday during the
last weekend in April. For the reasons discussed in the Regulatory
Planning and Review section above, this proposed rule would not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this proposed rule would economically affect it.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

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

4. Collection of Information

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

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and
determined that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

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

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

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

9. Civil Justice Reform

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

10. Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks

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

11. Indian Tribal Governments

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

12. Energy Effects

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

13. Technical Standards

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

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA)(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have
made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category
of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on

the human environment. This proposed rule involves a safety zone issued
in conjunction with a regatta or marine parade. This rule is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of
Figure 2-1 of the Commandant Instruction. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

1234ze SNAP applications

Dear Margaret,

When we talked on the phone the other day, you mentioned that you’re putting together a compendium of approved substitutes for R-22 and 142b that will be published in the Federal Register.  You asked whether Honeywell is considering any other foam blowing uses for HFO-1234ze that we have not applied for yet.  I consulted the business and this is the response I got:

Absolutely!! Ultimately I’d like to see it approved for all foam uses, but here’s my list of priority

Integral Skin Foam – should not have significantly higher emission profile than already approved applications.

Polyolefin foam – should have same emission profile as XPS, which was approved.

Rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate laminated Boardstock – should have similar emission profile to other polyurethane foams already approved

Rigid polyurethane slabstock and other– should have similar emission profile to other polyurethane foams already approved

PS Sheet – This is likely to be 100% emissive at point of manufacture, so we may need to do some calculations.  It is unlikely that we would get any actual plant trial data any time soon.

Flexible foam - This is likely to be 100% emissive at point of manufacture, so we may need to do some calculations.  It is unlikely that we would get any actual plant trial data any time soon.

Phenolic Insulation Board– should have similar emission profile to other polyurethane foams already approved

Could you please let me know how we should proceed to get these uses added to our list?

Thank you,

Kasia

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement Agreement

    The proposed settlement agreement would resolve a lawsuit seeking
to compel action by the Administrator to make findings of failure to
submit on certain SIPs under the CAA. The proposed settlement agreement
requires EPA to sign for publication in the Federal Register no later
than May 31, 2011 findings of failure to submit such SIPs for the Las
Vegas, Nevada and the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley, Pennsylvania 1997 8-
hour ozone nonattainment areas. EPA will no longer be obligated to make
such finding for the area if prior to May 31, 2001 it takes one of the
following actions for the area: (1) EPA takes final action on its
proposed rule to classify the area under Title I, part D, subpart 2 of
the CAA; (2) EPA takes final action redesignating the area to
attainment or unclassifiable; or (3) EPA signs a final rule making a
determination that the area has attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
If EPA fulfills its obligations, Plaintiff has agreed to dismiss this
suit with prejudice.
    For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication
of this notice, the Agency will accept written comments relating to the
proposed consent decree from persons who were not named as parties or
intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of
Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed

settlement agreement if the comments disclose facts or considerations
that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate,
or inconsistent with the requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or the
Department of Justice determines, based on any comment submitted, that
consent should be withdrawn, the terms of the agreement will be
affirmed.

II. Additional Information About Commenting on the Proposed Settlement
Agreement

A. How can I get a copy of the settlement agreement?

    The official public docket for this action (identified by Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OGC-2011-0337) contains a copy of the proposed settlement
agreement. The official public docket is available for public viewing
at the Office of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA
Docket Center, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW.,
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal
holidays. The telephone number for the Public Reading Room is (202)
566-1744, and the telephone number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566-
1752.
    An electronic version of the public docket is available through
http://www.regulations.gov. You may use http://www.regulations.gov to
submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the
contents of the official public docket, and to access those documents
in the public docket that are available electronically. Once in the
system, key in the appropriate docket identification number then select
``search''.
    It is important to note that EPA's policy is that public comments,
whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available
for public viewing online at http://www.regulations.gov without change,
unless the comment contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute is not included in the official public docket or in the
electronic public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material,
including copyrighted material contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only
in printed, paper form in the official public docket. Although not all
docket materials may be available electronically, you may still access
any of the publicly available docket materials through the EPA Docket
Center.

B. How and to whom do I submit comments?

    You may submit comments as provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late
comments.
    If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name, mailing address, and an e-mail address or other
contact information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD
ROM you submit. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. Any identifying or
contact information provided in the body of a comment will be included
as part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket,
and made available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot
read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you
for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
    Use of the http://www.regulations.gov Web site to submit comments
to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving comments.
The electronic public docket system is an ``anonymous access'' system,
which means EPA will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other
contact information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's electronic mail
(e-mail) system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an
e-mail comment directly to the Docket without going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address is automatically captured and
included as part of the comment that is placed in the official public
docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public docket.

Associate General Counsel.

Food and Drug Administration

21 CFR Parts 510 and 522

[Docket No. FDA-2009-N-0665]

New Animal Drugs; Change of Sponsor; Fomepizole

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the animal
drug regulations to reflect a change of sponsor for a new animal drug
application (NADA) for fomepizole solution for injection from Jazz
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., to Paladin Labs (USA), Inc.

DATES: This rule is effective June 5, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David R. Newkirk, Center for
Veterinary Medicine (HFV-100), Food and Drug Administration, 7500
Standish Pl., Rockville, MD 20855,<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 3180 Porter Dr.,
Palo Alto, CA 94304, has informed FDA that it has transferred ownership
of, and all rights and interest in, NADA 141-075 for ANTIZOL-VET
(fomepizole) to Paladin Labs (USA), Inc., 160 Greentree Dr., suite 101,
Dover, DE 19904. Accordingly, the agency is amending the regulations in
21 CFR 522.1004 to reflect the transfer of ownership.
    Following these changes of sponsorship, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,
is no longer the sponsor of an approved application. Accordingly, 21
CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to remove the entries for this sponsor.
    In addition, Paladin Labs (USA), Inc., is not currently listed in
the animal drug regulations as a sponsor of an approved application.
Accordingly, 21 CFR 510.600(c) is being amended to add entries for this
sponsor.
    This rule does not meet the definition of ``rule'' in 5 U.S.C.
804(3)(A) because it is a rule of ``particular applicability.''
Therefore, it is not subject to the congressional review requirements
in 5 U.S.C. 801-808.

Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
