Airworthiness Directives; Airbus SAS Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all
Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -151N, and -153N
airplanes; Model A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N
airplanes; and Model A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -253N,

-253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes. This AD was
prompted by a report of a non-stabilized approach followed by an
automatic go-around, which led to an airplane pitch-up attitude and
resulted in an auto-pilot disconnection. This AD requires revising the
airplane flight manual (AFM) and applicable corresponding operational
procedures to limit the use of speed brakes in certain airplane
configurations and informing all flight crews, thereafter, to operate
the airplane with limitations accordingly, as specified in a European
Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD, which is incorporated by
reference. The FAA is issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition
on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective July 24, 2020.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of July 24,
2020.
    The FAA must receive comments on this AD by August 24, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0118, dated May 22, 2020
(``EASA AD 2020-0118'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -
151N, and -153N airplanes; Model A320-251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N,
and -273N airplanes; and Model A321-251N, -251NX, -252N, -252NX, -
253N,-253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N, and -272NX airplanes.
    This AD was prompted by a report of a non-stabilized approach
followed by an automatic go-around, which led to an airplane pitch-up
attitude and resulted in an auto-pilot disconnection. The FAA is
issuing this AD to address certain airplane configurations, which could
result in auto-pilot disconnection and high angle-of-attack, and
consequent increased workload for the flightcrew during a critical
phase of flight and possible loss of control of the airplane. See the
MCAI for additional background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0118 describes procedures for revising the AFM to
limit the use of speed brakes in certain landing conditions.
    This material 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.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires revising the existing AFM and applicable
corresponding operational procedures to limit the use of speed brakes
in certain airplane configurations and informing all flight crews,
thereafter, to operate the airplane with limitations accordingly, as
specified in EASA 2020-0118 as incorporated by reference, except for
any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0118
is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore,
requires compliance with EASA AD 2020-0118 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same
as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not mean
that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where
the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the
EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0118 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0118 is available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2020-0589.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because after a go-around initiation under certain configurations,
pitch up attitude may increase followed by auto-pilot disconnection and
high angle-of-attack, which could lead to consequent increased workload
for the flightcrew during a critical phase of flight and a possible
loss of control of the airplane. Therefore, the FAA finds good cause
that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable.
In addition, for the reasons stated above, the FAA finds that good
cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and the FAA did not precede it by notice and opportunity for
public comment. The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data,
views, or arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0589;
Product Identifier 2020-NM-093-AD'' at the beginning of your comments.
The FAA specifically invites comments on the overall regulatory,
economic, environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. The FAA will
consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend this
AD based on those comments.
    The FAA will post all comments the FAA receives, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact the FAA receives about this AD.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this AD interim action. When final action is
later identified, the agency might consider further rulemaking then.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 380 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

Authority for This Rulemaking

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

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 by adding an AD that would apply to certain Bombardier, Inc.,
Model BD-700-1A10 and BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The NPRM published in the
Federal Register on September 18, 2018 (83 FR 47113). The NPRM was
prompted by reports of drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and
middle access panels being obstructed with sealant. The NPRM proposed
to require inspecting for and removing all sealant blocking the
drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and middle access panels.
    We are issuing this AD to address fluid leakage that could lead to
the accumulation of flammable fluids/vapors, beyond the design capacity
of the belly fairing venting provisions, which could ignite if an
ignition source (i.e., spark, static discharge, heat, etc.) is present.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian Airworthiness Directive CF-
2018-14, dated May 1, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory
Continuing Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an
unsafe condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model BD-700-1A10 and
BD-700-1A11 airplanes. The MCAI states:

    Bombardier Aerospace (BA) has informed Transport Canada that the
drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and middle access panels
may be obstructed with sealant. The purpose of the drainage holes is
to allow for drainage of a limited quantity of fluids due to any
leaks, should they occur. This condition, if not corrected, may
prevent the timely detection of fluid leakage that could lead to the
accumulation of flammable fluids/vapors, beyond the design capacity
of the belly fairing venting provisions [which could ignite if an
ignition source (i.e., spark, static discharge, heat, etc.) is
present].
    This [Canadian] AD is issued to mandate the removal of all
sealant blocking the drainage holes on the belly fairing forward and
middle access panels.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0796.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the
determination of the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting this final rule as proposed,
except for minor editorial changes. We have determined that these minor
changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.

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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

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,

design capacity of the belly fairing venting provisions, which could
ignite if an ignition source (i.e., spark, static discharge, heat,
etc.) is present.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Sealant Removal

    Within 375 flight hours or 12 months, whichever occurs first,

 BILLING CODE 9111-23-P


SUPPORTING STATEMENT FOR INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST Vehicle Service Information Web Site Audit EPA ICR 2181.01 February 2005 Certification and Compliance Division Office of Transportation and Air Quality Office of Air and Radiation U. S. Environmental Protection Agency 2 1. Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection Vehicle Service Information Web Site Audit ( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract Section 202( m)( 5) of the CAA directs EPA to promulgate regulations requiring vehicle manufacturers to provide to:

any person engaged in the repairing or servicing of motor vehicles or motor vehicle engines, and the Administrator for use by any such persons, * * * any and all information needed to make use of the [ vehicle's] emission control diagnostic system * * * and such other information including instructions for making emission related diagnoses and repairs.

In order to meet Congress' intent that consumers have freedom of choice in where to have their vehicles serviced, it is essential for independent technicians to have access to timely and accurate emission related service and repair information. Industry estimates indicate that independent technicians perform up to 80% of all vehicle service and repairs. Further, independent technicians perform more repairs on older vehicles ( which are more likely than newer vehicles to have higher emissions) than technicians in franchised dealerships.

EPA finalized regulations in June of 2003 ( 68 FR 38427; June 27, 2003) requiring auto manufacturers to launch full text Web sites containing all required service information for 1996 and later model years. In order to assess the effectiveness of the web site provisions of the regulations, EPA believes that input from independent technicians must be of primary consideration. As part of our broader efforts to evaluate the OEM web sites, EPA is initiating a process to gather feedback directly from the technician community on their experiences with the web sites and to communicate those findings directly to the OEMs and the service industry as a whole.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection Under Title II of the Clean Air Act, ( 42 U. S. C. 7521 et seq.), EPA is charged with requiring the manufacturers of vehicles and engines to make available emissions related repair information to aftermarket service providers. To improve timely access to this information, EPA is requiring that vehicle and engine manufacturers provide access to the required emissions related information in full text via the World Wide Web. This includes enhanced diagnostic information to equipment and tool companies and also information that will allow these companies to develop pass through reprogramming tools. To ensure compliance with these statutes, EPA would like to gather feedback directly from the independent technician community on their experiences with the web sites and to communicate those findings 3 directly to the OEMs and the service industry as a whole.

( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data EPA staff will use this data in conjunction with other internal analyses to assess the effectiveness of the service information web sites that are required by the regulations. In addition, this information will be used by the Agency to determine if manufacturer guidance or changes to the regulations are needed. Automobile manufacturers will also gain valuable feedback from end users on the usability of their web sites.

3. Non duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication EPA is not requesting information that is anyway duplicative of other information being requested the independent technicians.

( b) Public Notice Prior to Submission to OMB EPA has worked with automobile manufacturers in preparation for the project and have their full support on this project. In addition, EPA has used a variety of public avenues including presentations at industry meetings, conventions and other public forums to present our plans. EPA has also worked with a variety of aftermarket industry associations as a conduit for notifying the industry as a whole on this project. EPA believes there is wide industry support for this audit.

EPA also published a Federal Register Notice on April 27, 2005 to solicit comment from the public on this ICR. EPA received comment from the National Automobile Dealers Association ( NADA). NADA commented that EPA misidentified the NAICS Code of the potential participants of the survey. EPA had originally identified NAICS Code 8111 which is the general category for automotive repair and maintenance. NADA commented that EPA should include other NAICS codes including automobile dealers ( NAICS 4411), automotive parts, accessories and tire stores ( NAICS 4413), gasoline stations ( NAICS 4471), and other transportation and vehicle maintenance facilities covered under two digit code 48.

In response to this comment, EPA believed that NAICS code 8111 was sufficiently broad to encompass the diversity of the automotive repair industry and we did not intend to limit participation in the audit by selecting this particular NAICS code. However, in order to avoid any perception that participation will be limited, EPA believes it is reasonable to add the NAICS code as outlined in the NADA comments and has changed the supporting statement for this ICR accordingly.

NADA also commented on the labor rate used by EPA to calculate the total burden of this ICR. To calculate the total burden, EPA used $ 27/ hour. NADA commented that this seemed unreasonably low and referenced unidentified 2004 data that the average customer labor rate for new car dealers ( NAICS code 44111) is $ 75/ hour. 4 In response to this comment, the $ 27/ hour figure used by EPA comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Civilian Worker Cost Table which was most recently updated on June 16, 2005 ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t02. htm). This table estimates the costs per hour worked for employee compensation and costs as a percent of total compensation for the civilian workforce by occupational and industry group. According to this table, employee compensation for the occupational group that represents installation, maintenance, and repair workers is $ 27.59/ hour. EPA consistently uses information from the this table provided by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to estimate ICR burden and therefore believe that this figure is appropriate to use for this ICR.

( c) Consultations To ensure industry participation, EPA has developed a small steering committee comprised of industry leaders including automobile manufacturers, tool companies, independent technicians, aftermarket associations, and other industry representatives to oversee the evaluation as it moves forward. In addition, EPA has contracted the services of Perrin Quarles Associates, Inc ( PQA), an independent consulting firm, to help oversee the process. Among other things, PQQ will be developing a public web site ( www. oemaudit. com) dedicated to this process to ensure regulation communication with interested parties.

( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection To minimize burden on the respondents, EPA is limiting the time period of response to approximately a 12 week time frame. We believe this short time period will give EPA sufficient information to assess the effectiveness of the web sites while minimizing burden on the participants.

( e) General Guidelines The information collected under this action adheres to OMB's general guidelines for information collections with one exception. EPA is requesting that respondents report information to the Agency more often than quarterly. As discussed above, EPA is requesting respondents to report to the agency by filling out one questionnaire once every 2 weeks over a 12 week period. Given the hectic nature of independent repair shops, EPA believes it is necessary to establish bi weekly responses over a short period of time in order to ensure the maximum amount of responses. Otherwise, EPA is concerned that participants will not make the time or forget to respond if asked to submit information on a quarterly basis. In addition, this is a one time project for EPA and we would like to complete the audits in a time frame of approximately 1 year.

( f) Confidentiality The information proposed to collected under this ICR is not considered confidential. It is expected that the questions to be asked will be general in nature regarding technicians opinions and experience on the web sites they will evaluate. Participants will only be asked to provide their name, address, phone number and e mail. No other confidential or personal 5 information will be gathered. A final report compiling the results will be made available to the public late in 2005. The report will not contain any information about the participants or any information that would otherwise be considered confidential.

( g) Sensitive Questions No sensitive questions are asked. The collection complies with the Privacy Act and OMB Circular A 108.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ NAICS Codes The respondents are automotive repair and maintenance providers, NAICS code 8111. This industry group comprises establishments involved in providing repair and maintenance services for automotive vehicles, such as passenger cars, trucks, and vans, and all trailers. Establishments in this industry group employ mechanics with specialized technical skills to diagnose and repair the mechanical and electrical systems for automotive vehicles, repair automotive interiors, and paint or repair automotive exteriors. Respondents also include automobile dealers ( NAICS 4411), automotive parts, accessories and tire stores ( NAICS 4413), gasoline stations ( NAICS 4471), and other transportation and vehicle maintenance facilities, covered under the two digit code 48.

( b) Information Requested ( i) Data items A questionnaire has been developed in conjunction with the industry steering committee and is attached. The questionnaire is divided into 6 segments, with a approximately 70 questions. Some of the questions are of the yes/ no variety and some require ranking on a scale of 1 5. There is also a section for additional comments.

Once the questionnaires have been returned at the end of the 12 week audit period, respondents will not be requested to retain records of any kind for any period of time.

( ii) Respondent Activities The information proposed to be collected will be collected over a three month period beginning as soon as the ICR is approved. It is anticipated that volunteers who participate in the process will be asked to fill out an electronic questionnaire every two weeks and return it to the contractor electronically via the internet. It is anticipated that that participants will spend approximately 1 2 hours per week over the 12 week period filling out and returning the questionnaire. EPA expects that minimal time will be needed to review instructions nor are respondents being asked to acquire, install, or utilize any technologies other than those 6 already widely available in most independent repair facilities. There will be some time associated with searching the web sites for service information, but this activity currently occurs on a regular basis in many facilities and respondents are only being asked to fill out the questionnaires in response to their existing routine information searches.

To recruit volunteers to participate in the audit, EPA and the steering committee will use industry web sites, newsletters, conferences, and other means to get as many participants as possible. The steering committee has also developed an auditor application which will be made available on the www. oemaudit. com web site.

5. The Information Collected Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities In coordination with the contractor, the Agency will review and analyze the information collected and develop a final report. Upon completion of the final report, it will be distributed to interested parties. All of the questionnaires collected under this activity will be destroyed a short time after the final report has been issued. Depending upon the results, EPA may consider issuing manufacturer guidance or other regulatory changes in the future.

( b) Collection Methodology and Management It is expected that the questionnaire will be posted on the www. oemaudit. com web site and will be filled in electronically and returned electronically to the contractor. In turn, the contractor will compile the information and create a final report in conjunction with EPA staff that will be made available to the public upon completion.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility Small entity flexibilities are not needed for this information collection activity. Participation in the audit is voluntary based on the desire of technicians and shop owners to participate.

( d) Collection Schedule The information proposed to be collected will be collected over a three month period beginning approximately August 1 and ending on October 31. It is anticipated that volunteers who participate in the process will be asked to fill out a short electronic questionnaire every two weeks and return it to the contractor electronically via the internet. It is anticipated that that participants will spend approximately 1 2 hours per week over the 12 week period filling out and returning the questionnaire.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden 7 Respondent burden has been estimated by consulting with independent technicians and aftermarket industry associations to get sense of how much time per week they would expect to need to fill in and return the questionnaire.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Labor costs Labor rates on a per hour basis are estimated as $ 27/ hour ( rounded). This rate was taken from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Civilian Worker Cost Table which was most recently updated on June 16, 2005 ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t02. htm). This table estimates the costs per hour worked for employee compensation and costs as a percent of total compensation for the civilian workforce by occupational and industry group. According to this table, employee compensation for the occupational group that represents installation, maintenance, and repair workers is $ 27.59/ hour.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs Participation in the audit requires the availability of desk top or lap top computers in the maintenance facility or shop. In addition, internet access is needed in the facility in order to access the information on individual automobile manufacturer web sites. It is anticipated that a vast majority of vehicle repair facilities have already made these capital investments for the day to day operations of their businesses and that no additional costs will be incurred by technicians who participate in the audit.

Currently, automobile manufacturers have in place a variety of fees to access the information that is available on their web sites averaging from approximately $ 20 for 24 hour access to approximately $ 2000 for yearly access. However, the automobile manufacturers have agreed to arrange for free access to all their web sites for participants for the 3 4 month duration of the audit. Therefore, participants will not incur any additional charges or fees as a result of participating in the audit.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost EPA's Outreach and Planning Group in the Certification and Compliance Division is responsible for the implementation of the service information regulations and will oversee the audit. This group has about 14 full time employees. We project a total of 50 hours over a 1 year period of staff time ( at $ 67 per hour, loaded) to complete this project. In addition, EPA has procured the services of Perrin Quarles Associates, Inc ( PQA), an independent consulting firm, who will oversee the entire process including facilitation and participation in meetings and conference calls, development of communication tools, creation of reports and documents, and performing other support work as needed. This is a work assignment under a larger contract currently in place with PQA to assist EPA in a variety of compliance assessment activities. The web site audit work assignment is currently funded at $ 50,000 for FY2005. As a result, EPA estimates that the Agency Burden and Cost will be minimal given that a contractor is already in place in help facilitate the audit process. 8 ( d) &( e) Total Burden Hours and Cost From the above discussion the following total burden and cost estimates can be calculated. Due to the diverse nature of the vehicle service and repair industry, there is no typical or average respondent. Respondents can be the owner of a large or small shop or an employee of a large or small shop.

Table 2 INDUSTRY RESPONDENTS 250 TOTAL BURDEN HOURS 6,125 (. 5 hours to complete auditor application and 2 hours/ week over 12 weeks to conduct the audit, resulting in 24.5 hours/ response X 250 respondents, = 6,125 hours) ANNUALIZED BURDEN HOURS 2,042 TOTAL LABOR COST $ 165,375 ( technical labor @ $ 27.00/ hr) ANNUALIZED LABOR COST $ 55,125 OPERATING & MAINTENANCE COST $ 0 CAPITALIZED/ START UP COST $ 0 EPA EMPLOYEES 1 FTE HOURS 50 TOTAL LABOR COST $ 3350 ANNUALIZED LABOR COST $ 1,117 ( f) Burden Statement Section 6( d) & ( e) presents the total estimated burden for implementing the proposed information collection requirements.

The annual public reporting and record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 24.5 hours per response. 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 collection, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, 9 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. 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 number for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OAR 2004 0512, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center ( EPA/ DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW, Washington, D.

Ref: Memo to Docket, 40 CFR 51.308(g)(8), Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Montana; Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report State Implementation Plan

June 19, 2019

In preparation of this notice, EPA has concluded that the requirements at 40 CFR 51.308(g)(8), specifically the requirement for a periodic assessment of a state's smoke management plan, does not apply to the state of Montana.

The requirements at 40 CFR 51.308(g)(8) only apply if, among other factors, the state conducts a period program assessment.  But in this case, even though the Montana regional haze SIP says it will conduct such as assessment, Montana looked for and confirmed that it has not yet conducted such an assessment. Therefore, 308(g)(8) doesn't apply.

Kate Gregory (U.S. EPA, Region 8, Air Quality Planning Branch) contacted Rebecca Harbage (Montana Department of Environmental Quality) by phone Wednesday, June 12, 2019 to inquire whether or not the State had conducted a periodic review of their smoke management plan. On Monday, June 17, 2019, Rebecca Harbage responded via email (available in this docket) that both the State and the Montana/Idaho Airshed Group had not conducted a periodic assessment of their smoke management plan.

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

Interventions

    Any person has the option to file a motion to intervene in this
proceeding. Only intervenors have the right to request rehearing of
Commission orders issued in this proceeding and to subsequently
challenge the Commission's orders in the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal.
    To intervene, you must submit a motion to intervene to the
Commission in accordance with Rule 214 of the Commission's Rules of
Practice and Procedure \5\ and the regulations under the NGA \6\ by the
intervention deadline for the project, which is November 1,

2022. As described further in Rule 214, your motion to intervene must
state, to the extent known, your position regarding the proceeding, as
well as your interest in the proceeding. For an individual, this could
include your status as a landowner, ratepayer, resident of an impacted
community, or recreationist. You do not need to have property directly
impacted by the project in order to intervene. For more information

``eLibrary'' link as described above. The eLibrary link also provides
access to the texts of all formal documents issued by the Commission,
such as orders, notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. For more information and to register, go to
www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
