ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2015-0361; FRL-9950-01-Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; Florida; Regional Haze Progress Report

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Florida
through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) on
March 10, 2015. Florida's March 10, 2015, SIP revision (Progress
Report) addresses requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) and
EPA's rules that require states to submit periodic reports describing
progress towards reasonable progress goals (RPGs) established for
regional haze and a determination of the adequacy of a state's existing
SIP addressing regional haze (regional haze plan). EPA is approving
Florida's Progress Report on the basis that it addresses the progress
report and adequacy determination requirements for the first
implementation period for regional haze.

DATES: This rule will be effective September 1, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2015-0361. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under the Regional Haze Rule,\1\ each state is required to submit a
progress

report in the form of a SIP revision every five years that evaluates
progress towards the RPGs for each mandatory Class I Federal area (also
referred to as Class I area in this rulemaking) within the state and
for each mandatory Class I Federal area outside the state which may be
affected by emissions from within the state. See 40 CFR 51.308(g). Each
state is also required to submit, at the same time as the progress
report, a determination of the adequacy of the state's existing
regional haze plan. See 40 CFR 51.308(h). The first progress report is
due five years after submittal of the initial regional haze plan. On
March 19, 2010, FDEP submitted the State's first regional haze plan in
accordance with 40 CFR 51.308(b).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Located in 40 CFR part 51, subpart P.
    \2\ On August 29, 2013, EPA fully approved Florida's regional
haze plan (as amended on August 31, 2010, and September 17, 2012).
See 78 FR 53250.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On March 10, 2015, FDEP submitted its regional haze progress
report, reporting progress made in the first implementation period
towards the RPGs for Class I Federal areas in the State and for Class I
Federal areas outside the State that are affected by emissions from
sources within Florida. This submittal also includes a negative
declaration pursuant to 40 CFR 51.308(h)(1) that the State's regional
haze plan requires no substantive revision to achieve the established
regional haze visibility improvement goals for 2018. In a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on May 24, 2016 (81 FR 32702), EPA
proposed to approve Florida's Progress Report on the basis that it
satisfies the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and (h). No comments
were received on the May 24, 2016, proposed rulemaking. The details of
Florida's submittal and the rationale for EPA's actions are further
explained in the NPRM. See 81 FR 32702 (May 24, 2016).

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving Florida's Regional Haze Progress Report SIP
revision, submitted by the State on March 10, 2015, as meeting the
applicable regional haze requirements set forth in 40 CFR 51.308(g) and
(h).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 3, 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

[Docket No. FMCSA-2017-0180]

Qualification of Drivers; Exemption Applications; Epilepsy and
Seizure Disorders

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of final disposition.

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

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its decision to grant exemptions for four
individuals from the requirement in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Regulations (FMCSRs) that interstate commercial motor vehicle (CMV)
drivers have ``no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.'' The exemptions
enable these individuals who have had one or more seizures and are
taking anti-seizure medication to continue to operate CMVs in
interstate commerce.

DATES: The exemptions were applicable on September 2, 2017. The
exemptions expire on September 2, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Christine A. Hydock, Chief,
Medical Programs Division,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>FMCSA,
Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., Room W64-224,
Washington, DC 20590-0001. Office hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
ET, Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. If you have

Management System (FDMS) at: http://www.regulations.gov.
    Docket: For access to the docket to read background documents or
comments, go to http://www.regulations.gov and/or Room W12-140 on the
ground level of the West Building, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE.,
Washington, DC, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday,

    Privacy Act: In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits
comments from the public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT
posts these comments, without edit, including any personal information
the commenter provides, to http://www.regulations.gov, as described in
the system of records notice (DOT/ALL-14 FDMS), which can be reviewed
at http://www.dot.gov/privacy.

II. Background

    On August 2, 2017, FMCSA published a notice announcing its decision
to grant exemptions for four individuals from the epilepsy and seizure
disorders prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce and requested comments from the public (82 FR
36072). The public comment period ended on September 1, 2017, and no
comments were received.
    As stated in the previous notice, FMCSA has evaluated the
eligibility of these applicants and determined that granting these
exemptions would achieve a level of safety equivalent to or greater
than the level that would be achieved by complying with the current
regulation 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8).
    The physical qualification standard for drivers regarding epilepsy
found in 49 CFR 391.41(b)(8) states that a person is physically
qualified to drive a CMV if that person:

    Has no established medical history or clinical diagnosis of
epilepsy or any other condition which is likely to cause the loss of
consciousness or any loss of ability to control a CMV.

    In addition to the regulations, FMCSA has published advisory
criteria to assist Medical Examiners in determining whether drivers
with certain medical conditions are qualified to operate a CMV in
interstate commerce. [49 CFR part 391, APPENDIX A TO PART 391--MEDICAL
ADVISORY CRITERIA, section H. Epilepsy: Sec.  391.41(b)(8), paragraphs
3, 4, and 5.]

III. Discussion of Comments

    FMCSA received no comments in this preceding.

IV. Conclusion

    Based upon its evaluation of the four exemption applications and
comments received, FMCSA announces its' decision to exempt the
following drivers from the epilepsy and seizure disorders prohibition
in 49 CFR 391.41 (b)(8):
    As of September 2, 2017, and in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e)
and 31315, the following four individuals have satisfied the conditions
for

obtaining an exemption from the epilepsy and seizure disorders
prohibition in the FMCSRs for interstate CMV drivers.

Shane A. Brackett (ID)
Peter Connors (PA)
Brian D. Krise (PA)
Daniel Maben (MI)

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31315, each exemption will be valid
for two years from the effective date unless revoked earlier by FMCSA.
The exemption will be revoked if the following occurs: (1) The person
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the exemption; (2) the
exemption has resulted in a lower level of safety than was maintained
prior to being granted; or (3) continuation of the exemption would not
be consistent with the goals and objectives of 49 U.S.C. 31136 and
31315.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document makes a correction to Airworthiness Directive
(AD) 2007-26-15, which was published in the Federal Register on January
3, 2008 (73 FR 400), and applies to all DG Flugzeugbau GmbH Model DG-
500MB gliders. AD 2007-26-15 requires that you modify the affected
parts and exchange pages in the flight, maintenance, and repair
manuals. The FAA incorrectly referenced the AD number as ``2007-26-25''
instead of ``2007-26-15.'' Current language in Sec.  39.13 [Amended] of
AD 2007-26-15 references ``AD 2007-26-25'' instead of ``2007-26-15.''
This document corrects that paragraph by replacing the reference of
``2007-26-25'' with ``2007-26-15.''

DATES: The effective date of this AD (2007-26-15) remains February 7,
2008.
