I. Background and Purpose

    On August 3, 2018 (83 FR 38102), the EPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of New Hampshire. The NPRM
proposed approval of New Hampshire's amended regulation for the New
Hampshire motor vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. The
formal SIP revision was submitted by New Hampshire on June 7, 2016. The
rationale for the EPA's proposed action is explained in the NPRM and
will not be restated here.

II. Response to Comments

    The EPA received one comment during the comment period, which
discussed subjects outside the scope of this SIP action, does not
explain (or provide a legal basis for) how the proposed action should
differ in any way, and makes no specific mention of the proposed
action. As such, the comment is not germane and does not require
further response to finalize the action as proposed.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is approving New Hampshire's amended I/M regulation as a
revision to the New Hampshire SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
amended New Hampshire Code of Administrative Rules Chapter Saf-C 3200
entitled, ``Official Motor Vehicle Inspection Requirements,'' described
in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these documents generally available through
https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 1 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State
implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA
into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and
113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.\1\

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. 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, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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 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);
     This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory
action because this action is not significant 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 (Public Law 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 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    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. 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 November 26, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action 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).)

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP17-6-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Application

    Take notice that on October 28, 2016, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP (Texas Eastern), 5400 Westheimer Court, Houston, Texas 77056, filed
an application pursuant to section 7(b) of the Natural Gas Act (NGA)
and Part 157 of the Commission's Regulations requesting authority to
abandon a total of approximately 165 miles of its Line 1 pipeline that
has been previously removed from active gas service, along with other
associated facilities, in Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania. Texas
Eastern states that the facilities proposed for abandonment are not
required to meet current firm service obligations and that their
abandonment will eliminate the need for future operating and
maintenance expenditures.
    The filing may be viewed on the web at http://www.ferc.gov using
the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For
assistance, contact FERC at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-
free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions concerning this application should be directed to
Lisa A. Connolly, General Manager, Rates and Certificates, Texas
Eastern Transmission, LP, P.O. Box 1642, Houston, Texas 77251, phone:
(713) 627-4102, Fax:<PHONE_NUMBER> or email:
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>    Pursuant to section 157.9 of the Commission's rules, 18 CFR 157.9,
within 90 days of this Notice the Commission staff will either:
Complete its environmental assessment (EA) and place it into the
Commission's public record (eLibrary) for this proceeding, or issue a
Notice of Schedule for Environmental Review. If a Notice of Schedule
for Environmental Review is issued, it will indicate, among other
milestones, the anticipated date for the Commission staff's issuance of
the final environmental impact statement (FEIS) or EA for this
proposal. The filing of the EA in the Commission's public record for
this proceeding or the issuance of a Notice of Schedule will serve to
notify federal and state agencies of the timing for the completion of
all necessary reviews, and the subsequent need to complete all federal
authorizations within 90 days of the date of issuance of the Commission
staff's FEIS or EA.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the Commission and will receive copies of all
documents filed by the applicant and by all other parties. A party must
submit 5 copies of filings made with the Commission and must mail a
copy to the applicant and to every other party in the proceeding. Only
parties to the proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders
in the proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings of comments,
protests and interventions in lieu of paper using the ``eFiling'' link
at http://www.ferc.gov. Persons unable to file electronically should
submit an original and 7 copies of the protest or intervention to the
Federal Energy regulatory Commission, 888 First Street NE., Washington,
DC 20426.
    Comment Date: 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on November 30, 2016.

    Dated: November 9, 2016.

forward servicing compartment, which is un-pressurized, and not
accessible in flight. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not
contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design
feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety
standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a
level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing
airworthiness standards.

DATES: The effective date of these special conditions is June 6, 2014.
We must receive your comments by July 7, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Send comments identified by docket number FAA-2014-0239
using any of the following methods:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Stephen Happenny, FAA, Propulsion and
Mechanical Systems Branch, ANM-112, Transport Airplane Directorate,
Aircraft Certification Service, 1601 Lind Avenue SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; facsimile<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA has determined that notice of, and
opportunity for prior public comment on, these special conditions are
impracticable because these procedures would significantly delay
issuance of the design approval and thus delivery of the affected
aircraft. The FAA therefore finds that good cause exists for making
these special conditions effective upon publication in the Federal
Register.

Comments Invited

    We invite interested people to take part in this rulemaking by
sending written comments, data, or views. The most helpful comments
reference a specific portion of the special conditions, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data.
    We will consider all comments we receive on or before the closing
date for comments. We may change these special conditions based on the
comments we receive.

Background

    On November 30, 2011, Dassault Aviation applied for a change to
Type Certificate No. A50NM for the installation of removable storage
lockers of two possible sizes (approximately 6.9 and 8.1 cubic feet in
volume) in the forward servicing compartment (FSC) of the Falcon 2000/
2000EX series airplanes. The Falcon 2000/2000EX are business-class
airplanes powered by two turbofan engines, designed for a maximum of 21
occupants, with a maximum takeoff weight of 36,500 pounds for the
Falcon 2000 and 42,800 pounds for the Falcon 2000EX.
    The FSC is an un-pressurized compartment that is not accessible in
flight. It is accessible on the ground from a lockable external door
located in the lower aft fuselage. The removable storage lockers (fire
containment containers) that will be installed in the FSC will be used
mainly for stowage of items to support airplane operations such as the
tow bar, ladder, fly-away kit/Electronic Control Unit cover, tool box,
and limited passenger items (i.e., golf clubs/golf bags, skis/ski
bags). The existing regulations do not adequately address small,
inaccessible cargo compartments of this type and function. These
special conditions are necessary to ensure a level of safety equivalent
to that provided by existing regulations.

Type Certification Basis

    Under the provisions of Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR) 21.101, Dassault Aviation must show that the Falcon 2000/2000EX
series airplanes, as changed, continue to meet the applicable
provisions of the regulations incorporated by reference in Type
Certificate No. A50NM or the applicable regulations in effect on the
date of application for the change. The regulations incorporated by
reference in the type certificate are commonly referred to as the
``original type certification basis.'' The regulations incorporated by
reference in Type

Certification No. A50NM are as follows: 14 CFR part 25, as amended by
Amendments 25-1 through 25-69 for the Falcon 2000 and 25-1 through 25-
98 for the Falcon 2000EX, and 14 CFR part 26, as amended by Amendments
26-1 through 26-6. Dassault Aviation also elects to comply with
Sec. Sec.  25.855, 25.857, and 25.601 through Amendment 25-123,
effective December 10, 2007.
    If the Administrator finds that the applicable airworthiness
regulations (i.e., 14 CFR part 25) do not contain adequate or
appropriate safety standards for the Falcon 2000/2000EX series
airplanes because of a novel or unusual design feature, special
conditions are prescribed under the provisions of Sec.  21.16.
    Special conditions are initially applicable to the model for which
they are issued. Should the type certificate for that model be amended
later to include any other model that incorporates the same or similar
novel or unusual design feature, or should any other model already
included on the same type certificate be modified to incorporate the
same novel or unusual design feature, the special conditions would also
apply to the other model.
    In addition to the applicable airworthiness regulations and special
conditions, the Falcon 2000/2000EX series airplanes must comply with
the fuel vent and exhaust emission requirements of 14 CFR part 34 and
the noise certification requirements of 14 CFR part 36.
    The FAA issues special conditions, as defined in 14 CFR 11.19, in
accordance with Sec.  11.38, and they become part of the type
certification basis under Sec.  21.101.

Novel or Unusual Design Features

    The Falcon 2000/2000EX series airplanes will incorporate the
following novel or unusual design feature: Removable storage lockers
(fire containment containers) installed in the forward servicing
compartment (FSC). The FSC is un-pressurized and not accessible in
flight; it is accessible on the ground from a lockable, external door
located in the lower aft fuselage. The FSC area is designed to host
several critical systems; therefore, considering past experience on
cargo loading, appropriate design and procedures must be in place to
ensure safe installation.

Discussion

    Sections 25.855 provides the design and test requirements for cargo
compartments, and Sec.  25.857 describes cargo compartment
classifications. The removable storage lockers to be installed in the
Falcon 2000/2000EX do not meet any of the existing FAA cargo
compartment classifications of cargo compartments and, therefore, would
not meet all of the requirements of Sec. Sec.  25.855 and 25.857.
    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) determined that the
installation of removable storage lockers in the FSC, except the tow
bar and the maintenance ladder stowage, is not compliant with their
corresponding Joint Aviation Regulations (JAR) 25.855 and 25.857.
EASA's position is that the proposed design and configuration
corresponds most closely to, but does not fully meet, a Class F cargo
compartment classification defined in their Certification
Specifications (CS) 25.857(f) at Amendment 11 in the Fire Containment
Container (FCC) option. Class F cargo compartments are further detailed
in their Acceptable Means of Compliance (AMC) to CS 25.857(f). FAA is
in the rulemaking process of incorporating similar regulations into 14
CFR part 25, and we concur with EASA findings.
    EASA proposed special conditions for the approval of these
installations. The FAA reviewed the proposed special conditions and
determined that they are functionally equivalent to what we would have
issued, and that they provide an acceptable level of safety as related
to fire containment containers and the requirements of Sec. Sec.
25.601, 25.855, and 25.857. The FAA finding was based in part on
consideration that the proposed containers are not intended to be used
for ``cargo for hire'' or carriage of oxygen or oxygen producing
equipment; the container is not intended to be used for carriage of
flammable fluids; and, the container is not intended to be used for
carriage of more typical passenger/crew baggage, only for the carriage
of passenger ski and golf equipment.

Applicability

    As discussed above, these special conditions are applicable to the
Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000/2000EX series airplanes. Should Dassault
Aviation apply at a later date for a change to the type certificate to
include another model incorporating the same novel or unusual design
feature, the special conditions would apply to that model as well.

Conclusion

    This action affects only certain novel or unusual design features
on two model series of airplanes. It is not a rule of general
applicability.
    Under standard practice, the effective date of final special
conditions would be 30 days after the date of publication in the
Federal Register; however, as the certification date for the Dassault
Falcon 2000/2000EX series airplanes is imminent, the FAA finds that
good cause exists to make these special conditions effective upon
publication in the Federal Register.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 25

    Aircraft, Aviation safety, Reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.

    The authority citation for these special conditions is as follows:

    Authority:  49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701, 44702, 44704.

The Special Conditions

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the following special conditions are issued as part of
the type certification basis for the Dassault Aviation Falcon 2000/
2000EX series airplanes.

Fire Containment Containers

    1. In order to be acceptable, a container to be placed in the aft
unpressurized compartment must comply with the following:
    a. The container must be constructed of materials compliant with 14
CFR part 25, appendix F, part III and be sufficiently durable to
withstand in-service conditions.
    b. It must be demonstrated by test that the container is capable of
containing a wide range of internal fire threats, for any period of
time, while ensuring that adjacent systems, structure, and occupied
areas are protected from the effects of smoke, flames, extinguishing
agent, heat, or any other adverse effect. It must also be demonstrated
that damage to the airplane's systems or structure cannot be caused by
the use of the container.
    c. The Operating Limitations section of the Airplane Flight Manual
must contain a content limitation, approved by the FAA and justified on
the base of operational need and demonstrated low-fire risk. The
content limitation must:
     Require that any fire containment container be clearly
identified with placards on the container and in the compartment
hosting the container;
     Be reflected on any weight and balance or other document
used to load the airplane; and
     Include easy-to-follow procedures for loading,
installation, and de-installation of the container, e.g., airplane
flight crew verification of content before every flight, installation/
de-installation only by qualified personnel, etc.
