Background and Purpose

    On July 20, 2010, Kaneohe Bay Air Show 2010 coordinators informed
the U.S. Coast Guard of a State of Hawaii approved Air Show plan that
includes an aerial performance ``show box'' extending beyond the
Kane'ohe Bay Naval Defensive Sea Area as established by Executive Order
No. 8681 of February 14, 1941. Within this ``show box'', the U.S. Navy
Blue Angels Squadron will conduct aerobatic performances, exhibiting
their aircraft's maximum performance capabilities, over Kaneohe Bay,
Oahu, Hawaii during a 3-day period. Taking into account the hazards
associated within this ``show box'' during the Squadron's high-powered
multiple jet aircraft performances, and that Kaneohe Bay normally
experiences heavy waterway traffic during the weekends, two safety
zones for the portions of the ``show box'' that extend beyond the
Kane'ohe Bay Naval Defensive Sea was determined to be appropriate by
the Captain of the Port so as to ensure the safety of all watercraft
and the general public during the Blue Angels' performances.

Discussion of Proposed Rule

    In order to protect watercraft and the general public from hazards
associated with the U.S. Navy Blue Angels aircraft low-flying, high-
powered jet aerobatics over open waters, the Coast Guard is proposing
to establish two temporary safety zones.
    The first safety zone would extend approximately 100 yards
southwest of the Kane'ohe Bay Naval Defensive Sea Area, bound by the
following points: 21[deg]28.00 N, 157[deg]46.29 W; 21[deg]28.00 N,
157[deg]44.09 W; 21[deg]27.05 N, 157[deg]44.02 W; 21[deg]27.10 N,
157[deg]46.06 W thence along to the beginning point. The second safety
zone would extend 300 yards northeast of the Sea Area, bounded by the
following points: 21[deg]26.31 N, 157[deg] 46.47; 21[deg]26.10 N,
157[deg]47.07 W; and 21[deg] 26.18 N, 157[deg]47.28 W thence along to
the beginning point. Both of these zones would extend from the surface
of the water to the ocean floor.
    The Coast Guard is proposing that this temporary regulation would
be effective from 9 a.m. on September 24, 2010 through 7 p.m. local
(HST) time during September 26, 2010. The actual enforcement of the
zones would be done on a daily basis from 9 a.m. local (HST) time
through 7 p.m. local (HST) time September 24-26, 2010.
    During the times the safety zones would be enforced, vessel traffic
would be prohibited from transiting the areas included in the safety
zones. Vessels desiring to transit through the zones could request
permission by contacting the Honolulu Captain of the Port at telephone
number<PHONE_NUMBER>.

Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed rule after considering numerous statutes
and executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our
analyses based on 13 of these statutes or executive orders.

Regulatory Planning and Review

    This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review,
and does not require an assessment of potential costs and benefits
under section 6(a)(3) of that Order. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under that Order.
    This rule would not be significant as vessels could safely transit
around the safety zone. Furthermore, vessels would be able to transit
in the temporary safety zones with permission from the Honolulu Captain
of the Port.

Small Entities

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601-612), we have
considered whether this proposed rule would have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the Kaneohe Bay, Oahu, Hawaii, from 9 a.m. on September 24, 2010
through 7 p.m. September 26, 2010. This rule will not have a
significant effect on a substantial number of small entities for the
following reasons: (1) This rule will only be in effect for a limited
period of time; (2) Vessels will be able to transit around the proposed
safety zones; and (3) Before the effective period, we would issue
maritime advisories widely available to the Oahu maritime and tourist
communities. Furthermore, vessels will be allowed to transit in and
around the temporary safety zones in Kaneohe Bay if permission to enter
is granted.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.

Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this proposed rule so that they can better
evaluate its effects on them and participate in the rulemaking. If the
rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or
options for compliance, please contact Lieutenant Commander Marcella
Granquist, Waterways Management Division, U.S. Coast Guard Sector
Honolulu, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question
or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the
Coast Guard.

Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this proposed rule
under that Order and have determined that it does not have implications
for federalism.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or

more in any one year. Though this proposed rule would not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

Taking of Private Property

    This proposed rule would not effect a taking of private property or
otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630,
Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected
Property Rights.

Civil Justice Reform

    This proposed rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and
3(b)(2) of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize
litigation, eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically significant rule and would not
create an environmental risk to health or risk to safety that might
disproportionately affect children.

Indian Tribal Governments

    This proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

Energy Effects

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Executive Order 13211,
Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have determined that it is not a ``significant
energy action'' under that order because it is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866 and is not likely to
have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use
of energy. The Administrator of the Office of Information and
Regulatory Affairs has not designated it as a significant energy
action. Therefore, it does not require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use voluntary consensus standards
in their regulatory activities unless the agency provides Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, with an explanation of why
using these standards would be inconsistent with applicable law or
otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., specifications of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
    This proposed rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we
did not consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland
Security Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction
M16475.lD, which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and
have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a
category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. A preliminary
environmental analysis checklist supporting this determination is
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. This proposed
rule involves the establishment of a safety zone. We seek any comments
or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

Discussion

    EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD No. 2018-0092-E, dated April 20,
2018, to correct an unsafe condition for Wytw[oacute]rnia Sprz[eogon]tu
Komunikacyjnego ``PZL-[Sacute]widnik'' Sp[oacute][lstrok]ka Akcyjna
(WSK ``PZL-[Sacute]WIDNIK'' S.A.) Model PZL W-3A and PZL W-3AS
helicopters with a serial number up to 3X.10.12 inclusive. EASA advises
of an occurrence reported of finding cracks on the Main XMSN case
housing. EASA further advises investigation results indicate the
cracking mode has features of fatigue deterioration, but the root cause
has not been determined. Accordingly, the EASA AD requires repetitive
inspections of the Main XMSN case and, based on the inspection results,
replacing certain parts. EASA also requires reporting the inspection
results to PZL-[Sacute]widnik S.A. EASA considers its AD an interim
action and further AD action may follow. EASA states this condition, if
not detected and corrected, could lead to structural failure and loss
of load carrying capabilities of the Main XSMN, possibly resulting in
loss of helicopter control.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by EASA and are approved for
operation in the United States. Pursuant to the FAA's bilateral
agreement with the European Union, EASA has notified the FAA of the
unsafe condition described in its AD. The FAA is issuing this AD after
evaluating all information provided by EASA and determining the unsafe
condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other helicopters
of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed WYTW[Oacute]RNIA SPRZ[Eogon]TU KOMUNIKACYJNEGO
``PZL-[Sacute]widnik'' Sp[oacute]lka Akcyjna Mandatory Bulletin No. BO-
37-18-294, dated April 12, 2018, which specifies using a light source
and mirror to inspect the Main XSMN case for indications of possible
cracks, such as paint coat chipping, surface scratches, and oil leaks.
This service information also specifies reporting certain information
to PZL-[Sacute]widnik S.A., performing more in-depth inspections by
performing a ground run test and checking for chalk mark discoloration,
and if a crack exists, replacing the Main XSMN case before further
flight.
    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.

AD Requirements

    The AD requires within 5 hours time-in-service (TIS), and
thereafter at intervals not to exceed 25 hours TIS, for all PZL Model
PZL W-3A helicopters serial number up to and including 3X.10.12 with
Main XMSN case part number (P/N) 64.21.0105 or P/N 64.22.0161 installed
on WR-3 Main XMSN P/N 64.21.3000 or P/N 64.21.4000, visually inspecting
the Main XMSN case for a crack, a surface scratch, any paint coat
chipping, and any oil leak and removing the Main XMSN from service
before further flight if any of those conditions exist.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to Model PZL W-3AS helicopters, whereas this AD
does not because that model is not FAA type-certificated. The EASA AD
requires reporting certain information to PZL-[Sacute]widnik S.A.,
whereas this AD does not.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers this proposed AD to be an interim action. If
final action is later identified, the FAA might consider further
rulemaking then.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The requirements of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (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

    There are no costs of compliance associated with this AD because
there are no helicopters with this type certificate on the U.S.
Registry.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.)
authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and comment procedures for
rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds that those procedures
are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Under this section, an agency, upon finding good cause, may issue a
final rule without seeking comment prior to the rulemaking.
    There are no helicopters with this type certificate on the U.S.
Registry. Therefore, the FAA finds good cause that notice and
opportunity for prior public comment are unnecessary pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). In addition, for the reasons stated above, the FAA
finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for making
this amendment effective in less than 30 days.

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

    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.

report on the study to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and
Urban Affairs and the House of Representatives Committee on Financial
Services no later than two years after enactment of the Dodd-Frank Act,
that is, by July 21, 2012.
    The study mandated by Section 917 includes a number of specific
components, including that the study identify: the existing level of
financial literacy among retail investors; methods to improve the
timing, content, and format of disclosures to investors with respect to
financial intermediaries, investment products, and investment services;
and methods to increase the transparency of expenses and conflicts of
interest in transactions involving investment services and products. In
addition, Section 917(a)(5) requires the study to identify ``the most
effective existing private and public efforts to educate investors.''
The Office of Investor Education and Advocacy (``OIEA'') is currently
reviewing existing private and public investor education efforts of
which it is aware. The Commission is soliciting public comment to help
ensure that the study includes all relevant programs, as well as to
better understand the details and effectiveness of these programs.

    (2) What do you consider the most important characteristics of an
effective investor education program?
    (3) What programs do you view as most effective?
    (4) Has your organization or an independent third party evaluated
any of your organization's programs? If yes, please describe the
findings of the evaluation, including any statistical evidence of how
your program effectively changed one or more investor behaviors among
participants.
    (5) Are any of your organization's programs national in scope? If
not, could any of these programs be replicated or expanded to reach a
national audience?
    (6) What types of investor behaviors or other topics do you think
investor education programs should focus on? Why?
    (7) Which best describes you or your organization?

a. Public, Federal government
b. Public, State or local government

40 CFR Part 271

[EPA-R06-RCRA-2017-0324; FRL-9990-04-Region 6]

Oklahoma: Final Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: On October 3, 2018, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to approve a revision
to the State of Oklahoma hazardous waste program under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) and provided for a thirty-day
public comment period. The public comment period closed on November 2,
2018 and EPA received five comments. Two of the comments were
irrelevant to the proposed rulemaking. EPA received written adverse
comments from three sources not to grant the State of Oklahoma the
authorized program. The EPA has reviewed and analyzed the concerns
raised by the commenters, and now issues this final rule. After
consideration of these concerns, EPA is confirming that the program
revisions to the State of Oklahoma hazardous waste program satisfy all
requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. No further
opportunity for comment will be provided.

DATES: This final authorization is effective March 13, 2019.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R06-RCRA-2017-0324. All documents in the docket are listed in
www.regulation.gov index. Although listed in the index, some of the
information is not publicly available. e.g., Confidential Business
Information or other information whose disclosure is restricted by
statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted material, will be
publicly available only in hard copy. Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically through
www.regulation.gov or in hard copy. You can view and copy Oklahoma's
application and associated publicly available materials from 8:30 a.m.
to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at the following locations:
Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, 707 North Robinson,
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101-1677,<PHONE_NUMBER> and EPA, Region 6,

(214) 665-8533.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What revisions is EPA authorizing with this action?

    On March 31, 2017, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality
(ODEQ) submitted a final complete program revision application seeking
authorization of its program revision in accordance with 40 CFR 271.21.
EPA now makes a final decision that ODEQ's hazardous waste program
revisions satisfy all of the requirements necessary to qualify for
final authorization. EPA will continue to implement and enforce
Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984 (HSWA) provisions for
which the State is not authorized. For a list of rules that become
effective with this Final Rule, please see the NPRM published in the
Federal Register at 83 FR 49900, October 3, 2018.

II. What were the comments and responses to EPA's proposal?

    EPA received comments from five individuals regarding EPA's
proposal to authorize revisions to Oklahoma's hazardous waste
regulations. In accordance with 40 CFR part 271, EPA provides the
following responses to comments regarding authorization of Oklahoma's
requested RCRA subtitle C program revision:
    Two commenters raised issues that are completely unrelated to this
rulemaking and will not be addressed. An additional two commenters
raised issues about a separate rulemaking involving a RCRA subtitle D
program that is separate from this rulemaking and was addressed in our
rulemaking approving Oklahoma's Coal Combustion Residual State program.
See, 83 FR 30356; June 28, 2018. See also, Disposal of Coal Combustion
Residuals from Electric Utilities 80 FR 21302; April 17, 2015. Those
issues are outside the scope of this rulemaking. In addition, one of
the commenters stated that EPA should vacate approval of the Oklahoma
program because Oklahoma has a significant budget crisis and does not
have adequate funds, staff or expertise to take on the task. While it
seems that this question is about Oklahoma's Coal Ash program
referenced above, and not this revision to Oklahoma's RCRA subtitle C
program, we speak to this concern. We believe Oklahoma has the
resources and staff expertise to adequately implement the RCRA subtitle
C program. This is supported by EPA's oversight and the end-of-year
review conducted on September 26, 2018. Oklahoma's overall progress,
accomplishment of Performance Partnership Grant (PPG) workplan
commitments, and achievement of Government Performance and Results Act
(GPRA) goals were discussed and evaluated by EPA. See the FY 18 RCRA
Hazardous Waste Program End-of-Year Report, dated October 24, 2018.
    One commenter indicated that states should not be allowed to have
regulations that are more stringent or broader in scope than those of
the national government--that the rules should be uniform across the
country. RCRA directly addresses this issue, under RCRA section 3009
and 40 CFR 271.1(i), states are not precluded from having requirements
that are broader in scope or requirements that are more stringent. In
this rule, we are not making any broader in scope or more stringent
determinations. See, Section G of the October 3, 2018 proposed rule,
there are no state requirements that are more stringent or broader in
scope than the federal requirements for which Oklahoma is seeking
authorization. This same commenter stated that the proposed rule would
allow Oklahoma officials to administer and regulate Subtitle C in
Indian Country and that Native American land is considered sovereign
land and should absolutely not be under the jurisdiction of state
governments. EPA responds to this comment as follows: Nothing in this
rulemaking authorizes Oklahoma to administer RCRA subtitle C programs
in Indian country. This commenter also raised concerns about Oklahoma's
proposed change that classifies fossil fuels as nonhazardous waste and
that this waste needs to be properly disposed of to slow climate
change. Our response is as follows: We believe the commenter is
referring to a clarification to 40 CFR 261.4(b)(4) that wastes from the
combustion of fossil fuels are not hazardous waste. Oklahoma is
required to revise their State RCRA subtitle C program to conform to
the Federal rule change. This change has nothing to do with disposal of
fossil fuel residual, as noted above this is regulated by a separate
RCRA subtitle D program and is beyond the scope of this rulemaking.

III. Final Action

    Based on the proposal, administrative record and EPA's responses to
the comments received regarding the

proposed authorization of the State of Oklahoma hazardous waste
management program, EPA is granting final authorization of the state's
program. EPA retains its authority under RCRA sections 3007, 3008, 3013
and 7003 which include, among others, authority to: (1) Take
enforcement actions regardless of whether the state has taken its own
action, (2) enforce RCRA requirements and suspend or revoke permits;
and (3) perform inspections, and require monitoring, tests, analyses or
reports.

IV. What is codification and is the EPA codifying Oklahoma's hazardous
waste program as authorized in this rule?

    Codification is the process of placing the State's statutes and
regulations that comprise the State's authorized hazardous waste
program into the Code of Federal Regulation (CFR). We do this by
referencing the authorized State rules in 40 CFR part 272. We reserve
the amendment of 40 CFR part 272 subpart LL for this authorization of
Oklahoma's program changes until a later date. In this authorization
application, the EPA is not codifying the rules documented in this
Federal Register action.

V. Administrative Requirements

    This final authorization revises Oklahoma's authorized hazardous
waste management program pursuant to RCRA section 3006 and imposes no
requirements other than those currently imposed by state law. For
further information on how this authorization complies with applicable
executive orders and statutory provisions, please see the proposed
rulemaking published in the Federal Register (83 FR 49900, October 3,
2018).
