Airworthiness Directives; General Electric Company Turbofan
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
General Electric Company (GE) model GEnx-2B67B turbofan engines with
booster anti-ice (BAI) air duct, part number (P/N) 2469M32G01, and
support bracket, P/N 2469M46G01, installed. This AD was prompted by
reports of cracks in the BAI air duct. This AD requires initial and
repetitive visual inspections of the BAI air duct, removal from service
of the BAI air duct if it fails inspection and, as a mandatory
terminating action, the installation of new BAI air duct support
brackets. We are issuing this AD to prevent failure of the BAI air
duct, resulting in an in-flight shutdown of one or more engines, loss
of thrust control, and damage to the airplane.

DATES: This AD is effective September 23, 2013.

ADDRESSES: For service information identified in this AD, contact

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
The NPRM published in the Federal Register on April 11, 2013 (78 FR
21578). The NPRM proposed to require initial and repetitive visual
inspections of the BAI air duct, removal from service of the BAI air
duct if it fails inspection and, as a mandatory terminating action, the
installation of new BAI air duct support brackets.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. The following presents the comments received on the proposal
and the FAA's response to each comment.

Request To Revise Applicability

    The Boeing Company and GE asked that the GEnx-2B67 turbofan engine
be removed from the Applicability section of this AD. The commenters
noted that this engine does not have BAI hardware, therefore,
inspection and modification of the BAI does not apply.
    We agree. We revised this AD by removing the GEnx-2B67 engine from
the Applicability section.

Request To Update Service Information

    GE requested that we include a reference in the AD to GE Service
Bulletin (SB) GEnx-2B S/B 75-0008, Revision 2, dated May 30, 2013. This
SB was published after the NPRM (78 FR 21578, April 11, 2013) was
issued.
    We agree. We revised this AD by adding a reference to GE SB GEnx-2B
S/B 75-0008, Revision 2, dated May 30, 2013, in the Related Information
section.

Request To Allow Repetitive Replacement of BAI Air Duct

    Cathay Pacific Airways requested that we allow removal of the
affected BAI air duct every 400 engine flight cycles and its
replacement with a new spare duct as an alternative method of
compliance to the AD.
    We disagree. Replacement of the affected BAI air duct is not
sufficient to meet the requirements of this AD. Per the Mandatory
Terminating Action section of this AD, operators must install new BAI
air duct support brackets and replace the BAI air duct with a part that
is eligible for installation. We did not change the AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously. We have determined that
these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM (78 FR 21578, April 11, 2013) for correcting the unsafe condition;
and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM (78 FR 21578, April 11, 2013).
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 16 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it will take about 4 hours per
engine to comply with this AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour.
Required parts cost about $11,000 per engine. Based on these figures,
we estimate the cost of this AD to U.S. operators to be $181,440.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    This AD will not have federalism implications under Executive Order
13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct effect on the States,
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various
levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (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.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2016-0127; FRL-9945-44-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland; State Board Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve revisions to the Maryland State Implementation
Plan (SIP). The SIP revision removes the current SIP approved state
board requirements and replaces them with an updated version of the
requirements. The new provisions continue to address state board
requirements for all the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). The revision is being done because the Maryland legislature
revised Maryland's statutory requirements related to state boards and
the State wants the most recent version in its SIP. EPA is approving
these revisions to state board requirements in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on July 1, 2016 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse written comment by June 1, 2016. If EPA
receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that
the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2016-0127 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person
identified in the ``For Further Information Contact'' section. For the
full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 128 of the CAA requires SIPs to comply with requirements
for state boards. Section 128(a) requires SIPs to contain provisions
that: (1) Any board or body which approves permits or enforcement
orders under the CAA shall have at least a majority of its members
represent the public interest and not derive any significant portion of
their income from persons subject to permits or enforcement orders
under the CAA; and (2) any potential conflict of interest by members of
such board or body or the head of an executive agency with similar
powers be adequately disclosed. The requirements of section 128(a)(1)
are not applicable to Maryland because it does not have any board or
body which approves air quality permits or enforcement orders. The
requirements of section 128(a)(2), however, are applicable because the
heads of the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE) and the
Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) or their designees approve
permits or enforcement orders.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On February 17, 2016, the State of Maryland submitted a formal
revision (#16-03) to its SIP. The SIP revision submittal requests EPA
to remove the currently approved state board statutory provisions and
replace them in the Maryland SIP with the updated statutory provisions
so that the SIP includes the most recent state statutes that are
applicable to the section 128 CAA requirements pertaining to state
boards.
    On December 6, 2013 (78 FR 73442), EPA approved a Maryland SIP
revision which addressed the requirements of section 128 of the CAA.
The 2013 revision incorporated portions of the Annotated Code of
Maryland Title 15 (Public Ethics) into the Maryland SIP. Subsequently,
Maryland made revisions to its Annotated Code which included relocating
the ethics provisions from Title 15 to Title 5, as well as minor
wording changes. Maryland is requesting that EPA remove the previously
approved portions of Title 15 from its SIP and replace those provisions
with the most recent portions of the Annotated Code of Maryland Title 5
(Maryland Public Ethics Laws) which address CAA section 128
requirements. The Secretary of MDE and the state employees subordinate
to that position, as well as state employees at the PSC are subject to
the requirements of Title 5.
    EPA is removing the previously approved portions of Title 15,
including these portions of: Subtitle 1, sections 15-102 and 15-103;
and subtitle 6, sections 15-601, 15-602, 15-607, and 15-608. In order
to continue to meet the requirements of CAA section 128, EPA is
incorporating as requested by Maryland the relevant ethics provisions
of Title 5 (Maryland Public Ethics Laws) including portions of:
Subtitle 1, sections 5-101, 5-103; Subtitle 2, section 5-208; Subtitle
5, section 5-501; and Subtitle 6, sections 5-601, 5-602, 5-606, 5-607,
and 5-608. The State effective date for all these provisions in Title 5
of the Maryland Annotated Code subsections is October 1, 2014.

III. EPA's Analysis of Maryland's SIP Revision

    Section 128(a)(2) requires that each state SIP demonstrate that the
head of all boards, bodies or heads of executive agencies which approve
CAA permits or enforcement orders disclose any potential conflicts of
interest. The Secretary of MDE or his/her designee approves all CAA
permits or enforcement orders in Maryland with the exception of pre-
construction permits for electric generating stations that receive a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) from the PSC.
MDE is an executive agency that acts through its Secretary or a
delegated subordinate employee. The PSC also acts through its
Commissioners or delegated subordinates to approve permits. In the
February 17, 2016 SIP revision submittal, Maryland requested removal of
outdated provisions of Title 15 of the Annotated Code which address
disclosure of conflicts of interest as required by section 128 of the
CAA and submitted recently revised provisions of Title 5 of the
Annotated Code of Maryland for inclusion into the SIP as required to
continue to address

requirements in section 128 of the CAA. Title 5 of the Annotated Code
of Maryland applies to state employees including the head of the
Maryland executive agencies or their delegatees who approve CAA permits
or enforcement orders and requires the disclosure of relevant financial
information including the disclosure of any potential conflicts of
interest. The February 17, 2016 SIP revision submittal reflects
existing Maryland law and demonstrates that Maryland complies with the
requirements of section 128 of the CAA through the Maryland Title 5
requirements for adequate disclosure of potential conflicts of
interest. The revisions made only minor wording changes to the Maryland
disclosure of conflict of interest provisions and moved these
disclosure provisions from Title 15 to Title 5 of the Annotated Code.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving Maryland's SIP revision that removes outdated
state board provisions addressing disclosure of conflicts of interest
by persons or entities within Maryland who approve permits and
enforcement orders with recently revised and currently effective
similar statutory provisions also addressing state board requirements
for section 128 of the CAA including disclosure of conflicts of
interest. EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because
EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's
Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve
as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are
filed. This rule will be effective on July 1, 2016 without further
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by June 1, 2016. If EPA
receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rulemaking action, 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 relevant portions of Title 5 of the Annotated Code of
Maryland as 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 electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
may be viewed at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble for more information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this 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 EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 July 1, 2016. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the

comment in the proposed rulemaking action. This action updating the
Maryland SIP provisions to address state board requirements in section
128 of the CAA for all the NAAQS may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

How can I access the docket and/or submit comments?

    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under docket ID
number EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0073. The docket is available for online viewing
at http://www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the EPA Docket
Center, Public Reading Room, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The Public Reading Room is open from 8
a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The
telephone number for the Public Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the
telephone number for the Air Docket is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Use http://www.regulations.gov to obtain a copy of the draft
collection of information, submit or view public comments, access the
index listing of the contents of the docket, and to access those
documents in the public docket that are available electronically. Once
in the system, select ``search,'' then key in the docket ID number
identified in this document.

What information is EPA particularly interested in?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act
(PRA), EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) or examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What should I consider when I prepare my comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

To what information collection activity or ICR does this apply?

    Affected entities: Owners or operators who construct or reconstruct
a major source of HAP emissions must comply with any applicable MACT
standard. Where no MACT standard exists, a case-by-case determination
of MACT (case-by-case MACT) under CAA section 112(g) must be made. The
owner or operator is responsible for obtaining such a case-by-case MACT
determination.
    State, local, and Tribal agencies with operating permit programs
that have been approved by EPA will review information submitted by
sources under the CAA section 112(g) provisions. These permitting
agencies must determine the level of control that will be necessary to
meet case-by-case MACT requirements for new sources. Finally, EPA will
review a percentage of the determinations in order to provide oversight
of the various State, local, and Tribal permitting authorities.
    Title: Information Collection Request for 40 CFR Part 63
Regulations Governing Constructed and Reconstructed Major Sources.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1658.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0373.
    ICR status: EPA ICR No. 1658.04 expires on January 31, 2010. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulation is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 112(g)(2)(B) of the Clean Air Act as amended in
1990 (CAA) requires that maximum achievable control technology (MACT)
standards be met by constructed or reconstructed major sources of
hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Where no applicable emission limit has
been set, the MACT determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis.
The source owner or operator must submit certain information to allow
the permitting authority to perform a case-by-case MACT determination
(40 CFR 63.43(e)) Permitting agencies, either State, local, Tribal or
Federal, review information submitted and make case-by-case MACT
determinations. Specific activities and requirements are listed and
described in the Supporting Statement for the ICR.
    Burden Statement: Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information. The reporting and recordkeeping burden was estimated as
follows:
    Estimated Number of Industry Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
One title V permit application or amendment, or a notification of MACT
approval.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 529.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $37,871.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    Primarily, the decrease in burden is due to finalizing the MACT
standards for new and existing industrial, commercial, and
institutional boilers and process heaters at major source facilities.
Therefore our revised estimate of burden is smaller than that estimated
in the last ICR.

What is the next step in the process for this ICR?

    EPA will consider any comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
