14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 31337 Amdt. No. 3927]

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

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

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

DATES: This rule is effective November 2, 2020. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of November 2, 2020.

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

For Examination

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

Availability

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

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

Availability and Summary of Material Incorporated by Reference

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

The Rule

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-263; OMB Control No. 3235-0275]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE., Washington, DC
20549-2736.

Extension:
    Rule 17Ad-13.

    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'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget (``OMB'') a request for approval of extension of the
previously approved collection of information provided for in Rule
17Ad-13 (17 CFR 240.17Ad-13), under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Rule 17Ad-13 requires an annual study and evaluation of internal
accounting controls under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15
U.S.C. 78a et seq.). It requires approximately 100 registered transfer
agents to obtain an annual report on the adequacy of their internal
accounting controls from an independent accountant. In addition,
transfer agents must maintain copies of any reports prepared pursuant
to Rule 17Ad-13 plus any documents prepared to notify the Commission
and appropriate regulatory agencies in the event that the transfer
agent is required to take any corrective action. These recordkeeping
requirements assist the Commission and other regulatory agencies with
monitoring transfer agents and ensuring compliance with the rule. Small
transfer agents are exempt from Rule 17Ad-13 as are transfer agents
that service only their own companies' securities.
    Approximately 100 independent, professional transfer agents must
file the independent accountant's report annually. We estimate that the
annual internal time burden for each transfer agent to comply with Rule
17Ad-13 by submitting the report prepared by the independent accountant
to the Commission is minimal. The time required for the independent
accountant to prepare the accountant's report varies with each transfer
agent depending on the size and nature of the transfer agent's
operations. The Commission estimates that, on average, each report can
be completed by the independent accountant in 120 hours, resulting in a
total of 12,000 external hours annually (120 hours x 100 reports). The
burden was estimated using Commission review of filed Rule 17Ad-13
reports. The Commission estimates that, on average, 120 hours are
needed to perform the study, prepare the report, and retain the
required records on an annual basis. Assuming an average hourly rate of
an independent accountant of $60, the average total annual cost of the
report is $7,200. The total annual cost for the approximate 100
respondents is approximately $720,000.
    The retention period for the recordkeeping requirement under Rule
17Ad-13 is three years following the date of a report prepared pursuant
to the rule. The recordkeeping requirement under Rule 17Ad-13 is
mandatory to assist the Commission and other regulatory agencies with
monitoring transfer agents and ensuring compliance with the rule. This
rule does not involve the collection of confidential information.
    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.
    The public may view background documentation for this information
collection at the following Web site, http://www.reginfo.gov. Comments
should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of
Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office Building,

Cooperative Research and Development Agreements

    Cooperative Research and Development Agreements are authorized by
the Federal Technology Transfer Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 99-502, codified
at 15 U.S.C. 3710(a)). A CRADA promotes the transfer of technology to
the private sector for commercial use as well as specified research or
development efforts that are consistent with the mission of the Federal
parties to the CRADA. The Federal party or parties agree with one or
more non-Federal parties to share research resources, but the Federal
party does not contribute funding. The Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), as an executive agency under 5 U.S.C. 105, is a Federal agency
for purposes of 15 U.S.C. 3710(a) and may enter into a CRADA. DHS
delegated its authority to the Commandant of the Coast Guard (see DHS
Delegation No. 0160.1, para. 2.B(34)), and the Commandant has delegated
his authority to the Coast Guard's Research and Development Center
(R&DC).
    CRADAs are not procurement contracts. Care is taken to ensure that
CRADAs are not used to circumvent the contracting process. CRADAs have
a specific purpose and should not be confused with other types of
agreements such as procurement contracts, grants, and cooperative
agreements.

Goal of Proposed CRADA

    Under the proposed CRADA, the Coast Guard's R&DC would collaborate
with non-Federal participants. Together, the R&DC and the non-Federal
participants would identify and investigate the advantages,
disadvantages, required technology enhancements, performance, costs,
and other issues associated with using biodiesel fuel blends within
marine inboard engines. Presently available information suggests that
biodiesel (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME)) fuel produced from renewable
sources has the potential to reduce the Coast Guard's boat forces
carbon footprint while also reducing risks to their operational
readiness. Biodiesel is widely available around the country. Several
States are phasing in requirements or incentives to provide a biodiesel
blend containing conventional diesel for retail sale. As a result, the
R&DC has concluded that biodiesel warrants further investigation as an
alternative fuel.
    The R&DC, with the non-Federal participants, will create and employ
a structured and collaborative test protocol to better understand the
potential of biodiesel fuel blends within marine inboard engines. The
non-Federal participants will investigate the use of at least one
mutually agreed upon biodiesel fuel blend in representative inboard
engines, via a sequential process that includes modifications to engine
and fuel systems components to ensure compatibility with the biodiesel
fuel, followed by controlled field tests, and finally longer-duration
operational testing on actual Coast Guard boats.

Party Contributions

    We anticipate that the Coast Guard's contributions under the
proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Obtain, transport, and provide temporary storage for the
selected biodiesel fuel blend required for the work to be accomplished
under the CRADA;
    (2) Lead the development of the test objectives and test plan for
the specific work to be accomplished under the CRADA;
    (3) Provide all required resources, and conduct the ``field
testing'' analysis of the representative inboard engines using the
selected biodiesel fuel blend, in accordance with the CRADA test plan;
    (4) Provide all required resources, and conduct the ``operational
testing'' analysis of representative inboard engines using the selected
biodiesel fuel blend, in accordance with the CRADA test plan; and
    (5) Develop the CRADA Final Report, which documents the
methodologies, findings, conclusions, and recommendations of this CRADA
work.
    We anticipate that the non-Federal participants' contributions
under the proposed CRADA will include the following:
    (1) Provide input into the Coast Guard selection of the biodiesel
fuel blend to be used during this CRADA investigation;
    (2) Provide input into the Coast Guard-developed, CRADA test
objectives and CRADA test plan;
    (3) Provide replacement components for the field and operational
testing;
    (4) Provide recommendations to the R&DC for engine and fuel system
modifications, such as fuel oil heaters and filters;
    (5) Document the modifications and recommendations in an interim
CRADA report;
    (6) Provide inboard engine operation and performance monitoring
support to the Coast Guard during the ``field testing'' analysis; and
    (7) Provide input into the Coast Guard-developed CRADA Final
Report.

Selection Criteria

    The Coast Guard reserves the right to select for CRADA participants
all, some, or none of the proposals in response to this notice. The
Coast Guard will provide no funding for reimbursement of proposal
development costs. Proposals (or any other material)

submitted in response to this notice will not be returned. Proposals
submitted are expected to be unclassified and have no more than four
single-sided pages (excluding cover page and resumes). The Coast Guard
will select proposals at its sole discretion on the basis of:
    (1) How well they communicate an understanding of, and ability to
meet, the proposed CRADA's goal; and
    (2) How well they address the following criteria:
    (a) Technical capability to support the non-Federal party
contributions described; and
    (b) Resources available for supporting the non-Federal party
contributions described.
    Currently, the Coast Guard is considering Cummins, Inc., for
participation in this CRADA. This consideration is based on the fact
that Cummins, Inc.'s engines power Coast Guard boats in the 49-foot
Buoy Utility Stern Loading (BUSL) class, which support the Short Range
Aids to Navigation Mission. By virtue of the type of mission and number
of boats in the class, the BUSL is considered the best candidate test
platform; however, the Coast Guard does not wish to exclude other
viable participants from similar CRADAs.
    This is a technology transfer/development effort. Presently, the
Coast Guard has no plan to procure inboard engines that operate on
biodiesel fuel blends. Since the goal of this CRADA is ``to identify
and investigate the advantages, disadvantages, required technology
enhancements, performance, costs, and other issues associated with
using biodiesel fuel blends in marine inboard engines, with the
overarching goal of reducing their Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (i.e.
lower carbon footprints),'' and not to set future Coast Guard
acquisition requirements for same, non-Federal CRADA partners will not
be excluded from any future Coast Guard procurements based solely on
their participation within this CRADA.
    Special consideration will be given to small business firms/
consortia, and preference will be given to business units located in
the U.S.

    Authority: This notice is issued under the authority of 15
U.S.C. 3710(a), 5 U.S.C. 552(a), and 33 CFR 1.05-1.

I. Proposed Action

    On February 22, 2021, the EPA proposed to approve the following
rules into the MCAQMD portion of the California SIP.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 86 FR 10524.

                                            Table 1--Submitted Rules
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                Rule No.                                Rule title                    Amended        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1-220..................................  New Source Review Standards (Including         4/7/2020       8/10/2020
                                          PSD Evaluations).
1-230..................................  Action on Applications.................        4/7/2020       8/10/2020
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA previously finalized a limited approval and limited
disapproval of Rule 1-220 on July 3, 2017.\2\ We listed the following
two deficiencies in our final limited approval and limited disapproval
of Rule 1-220:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 82 FR 30770.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Rule 1-220 does not contain any provisions specifying that
required air quality modeling shall be based on the applicable models,
databases, and other requirements specified in part 51 Appendix W;
therefore, the requirements of 40 CFR 51.160(f) and 51.166(l) have not
been met.
     The requirements of 40 CFR 51.166(r)(2) \3\ have not been
met because the rule does not include the necessary information about a
source's obligations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The 2017 final rule stated incorrectly that the criteria in
40 CFR 51.166(r)(1) had not been met. Our proposal notice (81 FR
95074, December 27, 2016) and Technical Support Document (TSD)
correctly noted that only the criteria in 40 CFR 41.166(r)(2) had
not been met. See e.g., Section 4.2, number 15 on Page 18 of the TSD
for the 2017 final action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The District resolved the first deficiency by adding the required
air quality modeling provisions to Rule 1-220 and addressed the second
deficiency by revising Rule 1-230 to include information about a
source's obligations under the CAA. We have determined that the amended
sections of these rules satisfy the statutory and regulatory
requirements for a PSD program as set forth in the applicable
provisions of part C of title I of the Act and in 40 CFR 51.160-51.164
and 51.166.
    Our proposed action contains more information on the rules and our
evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received one comment, which is included in the
docket for this action. We do not consider this comment to be germane
or relevant to

this action, thus this comment is not adverse to this action. Moreover,
the comment lacks the required specificity to the proposed SIP
revisions and the relevant CAA requirements, and does not address the
specific regulations or provisions in question, or recommend an action
on the SIP submission different from what the EPA proposed. Therefore,
we are finalizing our action as proposed.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rules
as described in our proposed action. We continue to find that MCAQMD
Rules 1-220 and 1-230 correct the previously identified deficiencies
and fulfill all relevant CAA requirements. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving these rules
into the MCAQMD portion of the California SIP. The April 7, 2020
versions of Rules 1-220 and 1-230 will replace the previously approved
versions of the rules in the 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
MCAQMD rules described in Table 1 of this preamble. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these materials available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the 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 action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide the 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 the 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. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by August 24, 2021. 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 CAA section 307(b)(2).)
