SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Ocean dumping--the transportation of any material for the
purpose of dumping in ocean waters--cannot occur unless a permit is
issued under the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act
(MPRSA). EPA is responsible for issuing ocean dumping permits for all
materials except dredged material. EPA collects or sponsors the
collection of information for the purposes of permit issuance,
reporting of emergency dumping to safety of life at sea, compliance
with permit requirements, including specifically general permits for
burial at sea and for transportation and disposal of vessels.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Respondents/affected entities may
include any private person or entity, or State, local or foreign
governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit, specifically permit authorization and/or compliance with
permits required under MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C. 1402 &
1404, and implementing regulations at 40 CFR parts 220-229.
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,767 respondents per year.
    Frequency of response: The frequency of response varies for
application and reporting requirements for different permits. Other
than the general permit for transportation and disposal of vessels,
response is required once for each permit application, whether a single
notification to EPA or a permit application. Depending on the type of
MPRSA permit, a permit application would be required prior to
expiration if the permittee seeks re-issuance: general permit (once
every seven years); special permit (once every three years), and
research permit (once every 18 months).
    Total estimated burden: 3,207 hours per year. Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $349,157, which includes $195,857 for capital
or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: EPA estimates an increase in the number of
respondents from 21 to 2,767 with a corresponding decrease in total
estimated burden from 27,004 to 3,207 hours as compared to the most
recently approved ICR, which expired January 31, 1992. The estimated
increase in the number of respondents is due to the significant
increase in the number of entities using the burial at sea and vessel
general permits, which were not widely used at the time of the earlier
ICR. The estimated decrease in the total estimated burden is due to the
implementation of the Ocean Dumping Ban Act of 1988, which led to the
cessation of the dumping of sewage sludge and industrial wastes. The
respondent burden for these special permits was high due the
potentially significant impacts from dumping these wastes, and the data
required from the respondents to ensure permit compliance.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-70529; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2013-127]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change to
the Clearly Erroneous Rule

September 26, 2013.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on September 26, 2013, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``NASDAQ'' or
``Exchange''), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been prepared by the Exchange. The
Commission is publishing this notice to solicit comments on the
proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to extend the pilot period of recent
amendments to Rule 11890, concerning clearly erroneous transactions, so
that the pilot will now expire on April 8, 2014. The Exchange also
proposes to remove certain references to individual stock trading
pauses contained in Rule 11890(a)(2)(C)(4).
    The text of the proposed rule change is available from NASDAQ's Web
site at http://nasdaq.cchwallstreet.com/Filings/, at NASDAQ's principal
office, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On September 10, 2010, the Commission approved, for a pilot period
to end December 10, 2010, a proposed rule change submitted by the
Exchange, together with related rule changes of the BATS Exchange,
Inc., NASDAQ OMX BX, Inc., Chicago Board Options Exchange,
Incorporated, Chicago Stock Exchange, Inc., EDGA Exchange, Inc., EDGX
Exchange, Inc., International Securities Exchange LLC, New York Stock
Exchange LLC, NYSE MKT LLC (formerly, NYSE Amex LLC), NYSE Arca, Inc.,
and National Stock Exchange, Inc., to amend certain of their respective
rules to set forth clearer standards and curtail discretion with
respect to breaking erroneous trades.\3\ The changes were adopted to
address concerns that the lack of clear guidelines for dealing with
clearly erroneous transactions may have added to the confusion and
uncertainty faced by investors on May 6, 2010. The pilot program was
extended several times since its adoption and is currently set to
expire on September 30, 2013.\4\ In its rule change that extended the
pilot program to September 30, 2013,\5\ the Exchange also adopted a
provision designed to address the operation of the National Market
System Plan to Address Extraordinary Market Volatility \6\ (the ``Limit
Up-Limit Down Plan''). The Exchange believes the benefits to market
participants from the more objective clearly erroneous executions rule
should continue on a pilot basis through April 8, 2014, which is one
year following commencement of operations of the Limit Up-Limit Down
Plan. The Exchange believes that continuing the pilot during this time
will protect against any unanticipated consequences. Thus, the Exchange
believes that the protections of the Clearly Erroneous Rule should
continue while the industry gains further experience operating the
Limit Up-Limit Down Plan.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 62886 (September 10,
2010), 75 FR 56613 (September 16, 2010).
    \4\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 68819 (February 1,
2013), 78 FR 9438 (February 8, 2013) (SR-NASDAQ-2013-022).
    \5\ Id.
    \6\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 67091 (May 31, 2012), 77
FR 33498 (June 6, 2012); see also Rule 11890(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to eliminate all references in Rule
11890 to individual stock trading pauses issued by a primary listing
market. Specifically, Rule 11890(a)(2)(C)(4) provides specific rules to
follow with respect to review of an execution as potentially clearly
erroneous when there was an individual stock trading pause issued for
that security and the security is included in the S&P 500 Index, the
Russell 1000 Index, or a pilot list of Exchange Traded Products
(``Subject Securities''). The stock trading pauses described in Rule
11890(a)(2)(C)(4) are being phased out as securities become subject to
the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan pursuant to a phased implementation
schedule. The Limit Up-Limit Down Plan is already operational with
respect to all Subject Securities, and thus, the Exchange believes that
all references to individual stock trading pauses should be removed,
including all cross-references to Rule 11890(a)(2)(C)(4) contained in
other portions of Rule 11890.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The Exchange notes that certain Exchange Traded Products
(``ETPs'') are not yet subject to the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan.
Because such ETPs are not on the pilot list of securities, such ETPs
are not subject to Rule 11890(a)(2)(C)(4). Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 65104 (August 11, 2011), 76 FR 51076 (August 17, 2011)
(SR-NASDAQ-2011-116) (notice of filing and immediate effectiveness
to amend the clearly erroneous rule to specify that Rule
11890(a)(2)(C)(4) applies only to the current securities of the
Individual Stock Trading Pause pilot). Accordingly, the proposed
rule change does not change the status quo with respect to such
ETPs. As amended, all securities, including ETPs not subject to the
Limit Up-Limit Down Plan, will continue to be subject to Rule
11890(a)(2)(C)(1)-(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is also making technical amendments to certain
citations within Rule 11890 to make them more accurate.
2. Statutory Basis
    The statutory basis for the proposed rule change is Section 6(b)(5)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\8\ which requires
the rules of an exchange to promote just and equitable principles of
trade, to remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market system and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that the pilot
program promotes just and equitable principals of trade in that it
promotes transparency and uniformity across markets concerning review
of transactions as clearly erroneous. More specifically, the Exchange
believes that the extension of the pilot would help assure that the
determination of whether a clearly erroneous trade has occurred will be
based on clear and objective criteria, and that the resolution of the
incident will occur promptly through a

transparent process. The proposed rule change would also help assure
consistent results in handling erroneous trades across the U.S.
markets, thus furthering fair and orderly markets, the protection of
investors and the public interest. Although the Limit Up-Limit Down
Plan will become fully operational during the same time period as the
proposed extended pilot, the Exchange believes that maintaining the
pilot will help to protect against unanticipated consequences. To that
end, the extension will allow the Exchange to determine whether Rule
11890 is necessary once the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan is fully
operational and, if so, whether improvements can be made. Finally, the
elimination of references to individual stock trading pauses will help
to avoid confusion amongst market participants, which is consistent
with the Act. As described above, individual stock trading pauses have
been replaced by the Limit Up-Limit Down Plan with respect to all
Subject Securities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
result in any burden on competition that is not necessary or
appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act, as amended. To
the contrary, the Exchange believes that the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority and other national securities exchanges are also
filing similar proposals, and thus, that the proposal will help to
ensure consistency across market centers.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the proposed rule change does not (i) significantly affect
the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate if consistent with the protection of investors
and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become effective
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \9\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \10\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). As required under Rule 19b-
4(f)(6)(iii), the Exchange provided the Commission with written
notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change, along with a
brief description and the text of the proposed rule change, at least
five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed rule
change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange has asked the Commission to waive the 30-day operative
delay so that the proposal may become operative immediately upon
filing. The Commission believes that waiving the 30-day operative delay
is consistent with the protection of investors and the public interest,
as it will allow the pilot program to continue uninterrupted, thereby
avoiding investor confusion that could result from a temporary
interruption in the pilot program. For this reason, the Commission
designates the proposed rule change to be operative upon filing.\11\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ For purposes only of waiving the 30-day operative delay,
the Commission has also considered the proposed rule's impact on
efficiency, competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C.
78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposal is
consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of the
following methods:

    In accordance with Sec.  100.901, entry into, transiting, or
anchoring within these regulated areas is prohibited unless authorized
by the Coast Guard patrol commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may restrict
vessel operation within the regulated area to vessels having particular
operating characteristics.
    Vessels permitted to enter this regulated area must operate at a
no-wake speed and in a manner that will not endanger race participants
or any other craft.
    The PATCOM may direct the anchoring, mooring, or movement of any
vessel within this regulated area. A succession of sharp, short signals
by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under the direction
of the PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels so signaled
shall stop and shall comply with the orders of the PATCOM. Failure to
do so may result in expulsion from the area, a Notice of Violation for
failure to comply, or both.
    If it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property,
the PATCOM may terminate the marine event or the operation of any
vessel within the regulated area.
    In accordance with the general regulations in Sec.  100.35 of this
part, the Coast Guard will patrol the regatta area under the direction
of a designated Coast Guard Patrol Commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may
be contacted on Channel 16 (156.8 MHz) by the call sign ``Coast Guard
Patrol Commander.''
    Under the provisions of 33 CFR 100.928, vessels transiting within
the regulated area shall travel at a no-wake speed and remain vigilant
for event participants and safety craft. Additionally, vessels shall
yield right-of-way for event participants and event safety craft and
shall follow directions given by the Coast Guard's on-scene
representative or by event representatives during the event.
    The ``on-scene representative'' of the Captain of the Port Detroit
is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been
designated by the Captain of the Port Detroit to act on his behalf. The
on-scene representative of the Captain of the Port Detroit will be
aboard either a Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel. The
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated on scene representative
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
    The rules in this section shall not apply to vessels participating
in the event or to government vessels patrolling the regulated area in
the performance of their assigned duties.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.35 and 5
U.S.C. 552(a). If the Captain of the Port determines that any of these
special local regulations need not be enforced for the full duration
stated in this document, he may suspend such enforcement and notify the
public of the suspension via a Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

    Dated: April 1, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for this Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface at Clinton Regional Airport, Clinton, MO, to support
instrument flight rule operations at this airport.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (85 FR 36174; June 15, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0514 to
amend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface at Clinton Regional Airport, Clinton, MO. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020, and effective September 15,
2020. FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this

document. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace
areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 71 amends the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface to within a 6.6-mile
(increased from 6.4-mile) radius of Clinton Regional Airport, Clinton,
MO; removes the Golden Valley NDB and associated extensions from the
airspace legal description; and updates the name and the geographic
coordinates of the airport (previously Clinton Memorial Airport) to
coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.
    This action is due to an airspace review due to the decommissioning
of the Golden Valley NDB which provided navigation information to the
instrument procedures at this airport.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current, is
non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26,
1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation
as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter
that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5.a. This airspace action is not expected
to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
(Previously Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH)

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 97-26-03
for Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 A-1, MBB-BK 117 A-3,
MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1
helicopters. AD 97-26-03 requires visual inspections for cracks in the
ribbed area of the main rotor (M/R) mast flange (flange). Since we
issued AD 97-26-03, we have determined that a certain reinforced M/R
mast is not affected by the unsafe condition. This proposed AD would
retain the requirements of AD 97-26-03 and would remove a certain M/R
mast from the applicability. The actions of this proposed AD are
intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 13,
2018.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments by any of the following methods:
     Federal eRulemaking Docket: Go to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for sending your

Discussion

    We issued AD 97-26-03, Amendment 39-10246 (62 FR 65750, December
16, 1997) (AD 97-26-03) for Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (now Airbus
Helicopters Deutschland GmbH) Model MBB-BK 117 A-1, MBB-BK 117 A-3,
MBB-BK 117 A-4, MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1
helicopters. AD 97-26-03 requires visual inspections for cracks in the
ribbed area of the M/R flange and replacing the M/R mast if a crack is
found. AD 97-26-03 was prompted by AD 97-276, effective September 25,
1997, issued by Luftfahrt-Bundesamt (LBA), which is the airworthiness
authority for Germany, to correct an unsafe condition for Eurocopter
Deutschland GmbH Model MBB-BK 117 A-1, MBB-BK 117 A-3, MBB-BK 117 A-4,
MBB-BK 117 B-1, MBB-BK 117 B-2, and MBB-BK 117 C-1 helicopters. The LBA
AD required immediate and repetitive inspections for a crack in the
flange area after an M/R mast was found to have cracks ``of critical
magnitude.'' When LBA AD 97-276 was issued, the cause of the cracks was
under investigation. The actions of AD 97-26-03 are intended to detect
cracks in the flange, which could result in failure of the flange and
subsequent loss of helicopter control.

Actions Since AD 97-26-03 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 97-26-03, EASA, which is the Technical Agent for
the Member States of the European Union, issued EASA AD No. 2017-0193,
dated September 29, 2017, to supersede the LBA AD. EASA advises that
reinforced M/R mast part number (P/N) 4639 305 095, which is part of M/
R mast assembly P/N 4639 205 016, is not affected by the unsafe
condition. The EASA AD retains the repetitive inspection requirements
but only for helicopters with M/R mast P/N 4639 305 002.
    Also, since we issued AD 97-26-03, Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH
Helicopters changed its name to Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH.
This proposed AD reflects that change and updates the contact
information to obtain service documentation.
    Additionally, the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service has changed
its

organizational structure. The new structure replaces product
directorates with functional divisions. We have revised some of the
office titles and nomenclature throughout this proposed AD to reflect
the new organizational changes. Additional information about the new
structure can be found in the Notice published on July 25, 2017 (82 FR
34564).

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authority of
Germany and are approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with Germany, EASA, its technical
representative, has notified us of the unsafe condition described in
its AD. We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all known
relevant information and determined that an unsafe condition is likely
to exist or develop on other products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed Airbus Helicopters Alert Service Bulletin No. ASB MBB-
BK117-10-114, Revision 1, dated July 28, 2017. This service information
specifies visually inspecting the area of the holes on the underside of
the flange for cracks, especially in the ribbed area between the holes,
and if cracks are found, contacting Airbus Helicopters Deutschland GmbH
before further flight for advice on how to proceed. This service
information applies to helicopters with M/R mast assembly P/N
4639205011.
    This service information is reasonably available because the
interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Other Related Service Information

    We also reviewed Eurocopter Alert Service Bulletin No. ASB MBB-
BK117-10-114, dated August 27, 1997, which specifies visually
inspecting the area of the holes on the underside of the flange for
cracks, especially in the ribbed area between the holes, and if cracks
are found, contacting Eurocopter Helicopter Deutschland GmbH before
further flight for advice on how to proceed. This service information
applies to helicopters with M/R mast assembly P/N<PHONE_NUMBER> or
4639205016.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require before further flight and thereafter
at intervals not to exceed 100 hours time-in-service, visually
inspecting the flange in the ribbed area for a crack using a 5-power or
higher magnifying glass. If a crack exists, this proposed AD would
require removing the M/R mast before further flight and replacing it
with an airworthy M/R mast.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD requires contacting Airbus Helicopters if a crack is
found on the flange for applicable instructions, whereas this proposed
AD would require replacing the M/R mast with an airworthy M/R mast
before further flight.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 62 helicopters of
U.S. Registry and that labor costs average $85 per work-hour. Based on
these estimates, we expect the following costs:
     Visually inspecting the flange for a crack would require
.25 work-hour and no parts for a cost of about $21 per helicopter and
$1,302 for the U.S. fleet per inspection cycle.
     Replacing the M/R mast would require 10 work-hours and
parts would cost $50,000 for a cost of $50,850 per helicopter.

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

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify this proposed regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

I. Introduction

    The EPA announces its intent to delete the Davis Timber Company
Superfund Site from the NPL and requests public comment on this
proposed action. The NPL constitutes Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300
which is the NCP, which the EPA promulgated pursuant to section 105 of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended. The EPA maintains the NPL as the list
of sites that appear to present a significant risk to public health,
welfare, or the environment. Sites on the NPL may be the subject of
remedial actions financed by the Hazardous Substance Superfund (Fund).
As described in 40 CFR 300.425(e)(3) of the NCP, sites deleted from the
NPL remain eligible for Fund-financed remedial actions if future
conditions warrant such actions.
    The EPA will accept comments on the proposal to delete this site
for thirty (30) days after publication of this document in the Federal
Register.
    Section II of this document explains the criteria for deleting
sites from the NPL. Section III discusses procedures that the EPA is
using for this action. Section IV discusses the Davis Timber Superfund
Site and demonstrates how it meets the deletion criteria.

II. NPL Deletion Criteria

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

III. Deletion Procedures

    The following procedures apply to deletion of the Site:
    (1) The EPA consulted with the State before developing this Notice
of Intent to Delete.
    (2) The EPA has provided the State 30 working days for review of
this notice prior to publication of it today.
    (3) In accordance with the criteria discussed above, the EPA has
determined that no further response is appropriate.
    (4) The State, through the MDEQ, has concurred with deletion of the
Site from the NPL.
    (5) Concurrently with the publication of this Notice of Intent to
Delete in the Federal Register, a notice is being published in a major
local newspaper, Hattiesburg American. The newspaper notice announces
the 30-day public comment period concerning the Notice of Intent to
Delete the site from the NPL.
    (6) The EPA placed copies of documents supporting the proposed
deletion in the deletion docket and made these items available for
public inspection and copying at the Site information repositories
identified above.
    If comments are received within the 30-day public comment period on
this document, the EPA will evaluate and respond appropriately to the
comments before making a final decision to delete. If necessary, the
EPA will prepare a responsiveness summary to address any significant
public comments received. After the public comment period, if the EPA
determines it is still appropriate to delete the Site, the Regional
Administrator will publish a final Notice of Deletion in the Federal
Register. Public notices, public submissions and copies of the
responsiveness summary, if prepared, will be made available to
interested parties and in the site's information repositories listed
above.
    Deletion of a site from the NPL does not itself create, alter, or
revoke any individual's rights or obligations. Deletion of a site from
the NPL does not in any way alter the EPA's right to take enforcement
actions, as appropriate. The NPL is designed primarily for
informational purposes and to assist the EPA management. Section
300.425(e)(3) of the NCP states that the deletion of a site from the
NPL does not preclude eligibility for future response actions, should
future conditions warrant such actions.

IV. Basis for Site Deletion

    The following information provides the EPA's rationale for deleting
the Site from the NPL.

Site Background and History

    The Davis Timber Company Site is located at 107 Jackson Road,
approximately 6 miles northwest of Hattiesburg, in Lamar County,
Mississippi. The Davis Timber Company produced treated pine poles,
pilings, and timber at the Site from 1972 to 1987. Operations at the
Site included bark removal, treatment of wood with pentachlorophenol
(PCP), and product storage. The Site is approximately 30 acres and was
comprised of a scragg mill, debarker, pole peeler, office and shop,
treatment cylinder, cooling pond, oil storage tank, two aboveground
PCP-solution storage tanks, a storage yard, and a large former PCP and
waste bark Impoundment (Impoundment).
    Surface soil on the Site consists of a very thin layer of sandy
clay, which overlies a very thick clay unit, the Hattiesburg formation,
that inhibits

vertical migration of precipitation. Surface water runoff from the
property flows into two intermittent tributaries of Mineral Creek: East
Mineral Creek and West Mineral Creek. Mineral Creek flows northeast
into Country Club Estates Lake, a 66-acre lake located approximately
1.25 miles downstream of the Site. Country Club Estates Lake is a
recreational fishery and designated recreation area. Wastewater from
Site operations containing PCP, dioxin and furan compounds, was
discharged into the Impoundment. In 1980, the Impoundment was
backfilled and capped by the property owner with approximately 6 to 8
inches of clay.
    Between December 1974 and January 1987, the MDEQ documented six
fish kills in Country Club Estates Lake. Several of the fish kills were
attributed to documented releases of PCP from the Impoundment. In 1987,
MDEQ ordered Davis Timber Company to discontinue wood preserving
operations. According to MDEQ, Davis Timber Company subsequently
declared bankruptcy in 1990. Since 1987, Mississippi officials
collected fish from Country Club Estates Lake seven times and analyzed
the fish tissue for dioxin compounds. In 1989, after obtaining the
first set of fish tissue data, MDEQ issued an advisory against both
commercial fishing and consumption of fish caught in Country Club
Estates Lake due to the high levels of dioxin compounds in the fish
tissue. In 1989, the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
(ATSDR) was petitioned by the MDEQ to conduct a public health
assessment at Country Club Estates Lake on behalf of the residents of
Country Club Estates. In that public health assessment, released in
January 1993, ATSDR classified Country Club Estates Lake as a public
health hazard because of concentrations of PCP and chlorinated
dibenzodioxins (dioxins) and dibenzofurans (furans) detected in the
Lake. In July 2000, MDEQ collected fish from Country Club Estates Lake.
According to these sampling results, dioxin levels in fish from Country
Club Estates Lake declined below 5 pg/g, which is Mississippi's lower
limit for issuing consumption advisories for dioxin. In June 2001,
Mississippi officials lifted the ban on consumption of fish caught near
the Site because dioxin levels in fish showed a significant decrease
over a 10-year period.
    The Site was proposed as a NPL Site on May 11, 2000 (65 FR 30489).
It was finalized as a NPL Site in July 2000 (65 FR 46096). The EPA's
Identification Number is MSD046497012.

Remedial Investigation and Feasibility Study (RI/FS)

    The Remedial Investigation (RI) was conducted by the EPA Region 4
Science and Ecosystem Support Division (SESD) between May 2000 and
September 2001. During this period, SESD collected 30 subsurface soil
samples, 6 groundwater samples, 51 sediment samples, 11 surface water
samples, 27 surface soil samples, and multiple fish tissue samples
(individual and composite). The Site was divided into 49 grids
measuring 200-ft by 200-ft except in the central-northern portion of
the Site, which was divided into 100-ft by 100-ft grids. A 3 to 5-point
composite surface sample was collected from each grid and a subsurface
sample was collected from the center of each grid at a depth of 18 to
24 inches.
    Contamination was delineated based on those constituents detected
at concentrations exceeding the EPA Region 9 Preliminary Remediation
Goals (PRGs) and/or Federal Maximum Contaminant Levels (MCLs) for
surface water and groundwater; or human health risk-based Region 4 PRGs
(e.g., for dioxins/furans in soil and sediment). Risk-based remediation
goals derived from Site-specific data are identified by the Human
Health Risk Assessment (HHRA) for residential, industrial and
recreational receptors and the ecological risk assessment. Arsenic,
aluminum, thallium, and iron are identified in soil as chemicals of
potential concern (COPCs) assuming residential use of the property in
the RI; however, they were not Chemicals of Concern (COCs) when
considering the property will likely be utilized for a recreational
future land use, not residential purposes. As a result, COCs for the
Site are limited to PCP and dioxin/furans.
    Appreciable quantities of groundwater have not been observed at the
Site. Of the four permanent monitoring wells installed outside the
Impoundment area, only one produced an adequate quantity of water to
collect a groundwater sample. No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs),
PCP, or Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected in the
groundwater sample collected from this well outside the Impoundment
area. Temporary monitoring wells were installed and sampled in the
initial field investigation. After evaluation of historical aerial
photographs, it is believed these temporary monitoring wells were
installed within the footprint of the Impoundment and the fluid sampled
was not groundwater but fluid remaining within the Impoundment. The
four permanent monitoring wells have been properly abandoned. The
groundwater was not a pathway of contaminant migration, and a
groundwater response action was not required.

Selected Remedy

    The site is comprised of one Operable Unit (OU). The Record of
Decision (ROD) for the Davis Timber Site was signed on September 24,
2009 following consideration of public comment on the proposed plan.
The Site's ROD identified the following Remedial Action Objectives
(RAOs):
    i. Reduce or eliminate human exposure to contaminated surface and
subsurface soil;
    ii. Reduce human exposure to contaminated surface water; and
    iii. Reduce exposure of ecological receptors to contaminated
surface soil and sediment.
    The remedial action specified for this site has been deemed
necessary by the EPA to protect public health, welfare, and the
environment from actual or threatened releases of hazardous substances
from this site into the environment. The remedial actions chosen for
the Site are summarized as follows:
    (1) Extract the liquid from the closed Impoundment, and treat the
liquid to remove the dissolved contamination and discharge the clean
water to West Mineral Creek;
    (2) Move a 500 to 1,000-foot portion of West Mineral Creek
(immediately adjacent to the Impoundment area) approximately 200 feet
west of its current location;
    (3) Construct an earthen retaining wall or berm structure along the
western boundary of the Impoundment between it and the relocated
portion of West Mineral Creek;
    (4) Excavate and move contaminated soil into the Impoundment area;
    (5) Dredge contaminated sediment from the creeks, ponds, and
wetlands, and remove excess water and move into the Impoundment area;
    (6) Construct a cap over the Impoundment area (designed with a
stabilizing sub-cap);
    (7) Backfill excavated and dredged locations with clean borrow
material;
    (8) Implement land-use/deed restrictions to limit construction over
the capped Impoundment and contaminated soil areas;
    (9) Grade and prepare the site for optimal storm water drainage
control; and
    (10) Establish and implement a long-term monitoring program to
assess the effectiveness of the remedial action.

Response Actions

    Remedial action physical construction activities began during
October 2011 following receipt of remedial action funding through the
President's Jobs Initiative Program. Remedial action construction
services were procured through the existing Region 4 Emergency Response
and Removal Services (ERRS) contract.
    Construction activities were completed in August 2012, and included
the following:
    (1) Site clearing and demolition of on-site structures;
    (2) Installation of the Impoundment liquid extraction and treatment
system (this system treated approximately 539,000 gallons of liquid);
    (3) West Mineral Creek Relocation (relocated approximately 1,046
linear feet of creek approximately 200 feet west of its current
location);
    (4) Impoundment berm construction;
    (5) Cooling pond and areas of surface soil contamination excavation
(excavated approximately 3,060 cubic yards);
    (6) East Mineral Creek Excavation (approximately 525 linear feet
and 101 cubic yards of soil);
    (7) Impoundment cap construction; and
    (8) Final grading and vegetation.
    The selected remedy required Institutional Controls (land use or
deed restrictions) to control and limit on-site activities to preserve
the integrity of the capped Impoundment and all components of the
engineered containment system. Site use is restricted to activities
compatible with the future anticipated recreational land use.
    The Site parcel has an environmental covenant which does not allow
residential use and restricts excavation before meeting notification
requirements of Mississippi's One Call law.

Cleanup Levels

    The RA successfully achieved compliance with the defined
performance standards documented in the ROD and the RD.
Impoundment Water Extraction and Treatment
    The water extraction and treatment system removed and treated
539,454 gallons of contaminated water from the closed Impoundment.
Approximately 77 percent of the water was removed from the Impoundment.
The remedial design established performance standards for the treatment
system discharge to West Mineral Creek as the Mississippi Water Quality
Criteria for Intrastate, Interstate and Coastal Waters. These standards
comply with the requirements of a Mississippi National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit. Operation of the treatment
system continued until May 30, 2012, when diminishing recovery volumes
and water levels indicated the practical limit of dewatering had been
reached.
Soil
    The remedial design specified excavation of contaminated soil from
two areas of the Site:
    (1) Within the footprint of the former cooling pond; and
    (2) Within the delineated area of surface soil contamination
surrounding the former cooling pond and process area.
    Two additional areas of contaminated soil were discovered during
the remedial action and were also excavated:
    (1) Beneath the former maintenance building; and
    (2) Beneath the location of the former treatment cylinder.
    Contaminated soil in these additional soil areas were excavated and
disposed of in the Impoundment area until the visible extent of
contamination was removed and vapor screening indicated total organic
vapors of less than 10 parts per million.
    Post-excavation subsurface soil samples collected from the base of
the cooling pond excavation and the surface soil excavation were
analyzed for dioxins, furans and PCP. The 2013 Remedial Action Report
summarized the sampling results as follows:
    (1) Three composite subsurface soil samples were collected from the
base of the cooling pond excavation and compared to the dioxin Toxic
Equivalency Quotient (TEQ) cleanup level of 5 [micro]g/kg. All three
sample results were below the cleanup level, ranging from 0.088 to 0.40
[micro]g/kg.
    (2) Five composite subsurface soil samples and one duplicate sample
were collected from the bottom of the surface soil excavation area. All
of the sample results were below the dioxin TEQ cleanup goal of 5
[micro] g/kg.
Sediment
    Prior to excavation, the EPA contractor collected additional
sediment samples from East Mineral Creek and analyzed for dioxins and
furans. All results were below the cleanup goal for dioxin TEQs.
Contaminated sediment was excavated from three areas of East Mineral
Creek that had shown the highest concentrations during the RI. A total
of 101 cubic yards of sediment was removed and disposed of in the
closed Impoundment area. Three post-excavation sediment samples and one
duplicate sample were collected from the creek to confirm that cleanup
goals were achieved. Dioxin TEQ results were below the ROD cleanup
level of 1.9 [micro]g/kg for all samples, with values ranging from 0.21
to 0.73 [micro]g/kg. All samples collected during the RI were below the
sediment cleanup goal for PCP except for one (8,200 [micro]g/kg,
performance standard 7,600 [micro]g/kg).
Groundwater
    No appreciable quantities of groundwater have been observed at the
Site. Of the four permanent monitoring wells installed outside the
Impoundment area, only one produced an adequate quantity of water to
collect a groundwater sample. No volatile organic compounds (VOCs),
PCP, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected in the
groundwater sample collected from this well outside the Impoundment
area.
    Post-excavation soil sampling performed by Onedia Total Integrated
Enterprise (OTIE) confirmed that soil and sediment cleanup levels were
achieved. All work performed by WRS Compass (WRSC) during the RA was
conducted in accordance with the RD specifications, unless otherwise
documented and approved by the EPA Remedial Project Manager (RPM). The
EPA had a representative on-site for much of the RA construction who,
in conjunction with the OTIE representative, ensured that the remedy
was constructed in accordance with the RD specifications and that the
construction quality control requirements of the specifications were
strictly adhered to.

Operations and Maintenance

    The responsibility for operations and maintenance (O&M) was
transferred to the State on October 20, 2014. Future O&M activities at
the site are expected to be limited to mowing, inspections, and FYRs.
Periodic inspections will need to be implemented to ensure the
Impoundment cap and berm retain their integrity, and to ensure that
stormwater and sediment controls, the West Mineral Creek channel, and
revegetated areas operate as intended.

Five-Year Review

    The purpose of a the FYR is to evaluate the implementation and
performance of a remedy to determine if the remedy is and will continue
to be protective of human health and the environment. In addition, FYR
reports identify issues found during the review,

if any, and document recommendations to address them. The first FYR was
conducted in December 2016.
    The FYR was conducted pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) section 121,
consistent with the NCP (40 CFR 300.430(f)(4)(ii)), and considering the
EPA policy. The triggering action for this statutory review is the on-
site construction start date of the remedial action. The FYR has been
prepared because hazardous substances, pollutants or contaminants
remain at the Site above levels that allow for unlimited use and
unrestricted exposure (UU/UE).
    The Site consists of one operable unit (OU1), and OU1 consisted of
all contaminated media, which includes soil and sediment, associated
with the Site.
    The FYR concluded that the remedy at OU1 currently protects human
health and the environment because there are no completed exposure
pathways; contaminated soil and sediment were excavated and capped, and
Impoundment water was treated and discharged. The FYR had no issues or
recommendations. The next FYR will be conducted in 2021.

Community Involvement

    Throughout the removal and remedial process, the EPA has kept the
public informed of the activities being conducted at the Site by way of
public meetings, progress fact sheets, and the announcement through
local newspaper advertisement on the availability of documents related
to the site and FYRs.
    The notice of the availability of the Administrative Record and an
announcement of the Proposed Plan for a public meeting was published in
the Hattiesburg American newspaper on July 15, 2009. A public comment
period was held from July 15, 2009, to August 14, 2009. The Proposed
Plan was presented to the community during a public meeting on August
10 at the Breland Community Center, 79 Jackson Road, Hattiesburg, MS
39402. At this meeting, representatives from the EPA and MDEQ answered
questions from the community concerning the proposed remedy and the
remedial alternatives that were evaluated. The Administrative Record
file was available to the public and was placed in the information
repository maintained at the EPA Region 4 Superfund Record Center and
at the Oak Grove Public Library (in the Reference Section) 4958 Old
Highway 11, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, 39402.
    Public participation activities have been satisfied as required in
CERCLA section 113(k), 42 U.S.C. 9613(k) and CERCLA section 117, 42
U.S.C. 9617. Documents in the deletion docket, which the EPA relied on
for recommendation of the deletion from the NPL, are available to the
public in the information repositories identified above.

Determination That the Site Meets the Criteria for Deletion in the NCP

    The EPA has followed the procedures required by 40 CFR 300.425(e)
as mentioned above and the implemented remedy achieves the degree of
cleanup specified in the ROD for all pathways of exposure.
Specifically, post-excavation soil sampling performed by OTIE confirmed
that soil and sediment cleanup levels were achieved. These results
verify that the Site has achieved the ROD cleanup standards, and that
all cleanup actions specified in the ROD have been implemented. All
selected remedial and removal action objectives and associated cleanup
levels are consistent with agency policy and guidance. This Site meets
all the site completion requirements as specified in Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response (OSWER) Directive 9320.22, Close-Out
Procedures for National Priorities List Sites. No further Superfund
response is needed to protect human health and the environment.
    The EPA, with concurrence of the State through MDEQ, has determined
that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA have been completed.
Therefore, the EPA is proposing to delete the Site from the NPL.
