SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part, A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it modifies Class D airspace at Grissom ARB, Peru, IN.

History

    On June 6, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a notice
of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Class D Airspace to allow for a
lower Circling Minimum Descent Altitude at Grissom Air Reserve Base
(ARB), IN (81 FR 36214) FAA-2016-6006. Interested parties were invited
to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2016, and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document modifies FAA Order 7400.9Z, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 6, 2016, and effective September 15,
2015. FAA Order 7400.9Z is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.9Z lists Class A, B,
C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    This action modifies Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14
CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class D airspace at Grissom ARB, IN, to
within a 5.8-mile radius of the airport. This increase will allow for a
lower Circling Minimum Descent Altitude, where Instrument Flight Rules
Category E circling procedures are being used. Also, this action adds
Peru, Grissom Air Reserve Base, IN, to the subtitle of the airspace
designation. Controlled airspace is needed for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class D airspace areas are published in paragraph 5000 of FAA Order
7400.9Z, dated August 6, 2016, and effective September 15, 2015, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document will be published subsequently in
the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

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

Environmental Review

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

1.57	Introduction: State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision for Purposes of the Emissions Statement and Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi.

      The purpose of this State Implementation Plan (SIP) Revision is to implement Sections 182(a)(1) and 182(a)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended (42 United States Code (U.S.C.) 7401 et seq.), with respect to the requirements for an Emissions Statement and an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi.

      Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the CAA requires Marginal and above areas to submit an emissions statement within 2 years of designation as nonattainment.  Specifically it provides that the emissions statement must: "...require that the owner or operator of each stationary source of oxides of nitrogen or volatile organic compounds provide the state with a statement, in such form as the Administrator may prescribe (or an equivalent alternative developed by the state), for classes or categories of sources, showing the actual emissions of oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds from that source.  The first such statement shall be submitted within 3 years after the date of the enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990. Subsequent statements shall be submitted at least every year thereafter."  Appendix U contains new state regulations which will implement the Emissions Statement requirement for any areas designated as nonattainment for the National Air Quality Standard for ground-level ozone.  The new regulations are 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Nonattainment Areas.  The regulations are applicable to sources in DeSoto County, Mississippi as well as any other areas that might be designated nonattainment in the future.

      CAA section 182(a)(1) requires that Marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas submit a base year emissions inventory for the nonattainment area 2 years after designation as nonattainment.  The emissions are reported as tons/average summer day of pollutant.  In accordance with the requirements of EPA's Emissions Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations, November 2005, the only pollutants reported are Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and emissions are summed as tons/average summer day for the year 2011.  Appendix V contains the Emission Inventory for DeSoto County, Mississippi.

1.58	Notification of Public Comment Period for the SIP Revision.

      Public participation for the above referenced SIP Revision was achieved by a 30-day public comment period and with a public hearing held on October 2, 2014 in the city of Jackson, Mississippi.  The comment period began on September 2, 2014 and ended on October 2, 2014.  The public notice was published consistent with procedures approved by EPA.

      The notice of public comment period was published on September 2, September 9, and September 16, 2014 in daily newspapers in the cities of Gulfport, Hernando, Jackson, and Tupelo in the State of Mississippi.  The notice of public hearing, and the draft SIP Revision was made available for public review in the main branches of the public libraries in Gulfport, Hernando, and Tupelo, Mississippi and at the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality in Jackson, Mississippi and was also available on the Department's website http://www.deq.state.ms.us.

                MISSISSIPPI COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
                           NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

                  PUBLIC NOTICE START DATE: SEPTEMBER 2, 2014
                    DEADLINE FOR COMMENTS: OCTOBER 2, 2014

PLEASE TAKE NOTE that the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality ("Commission") is considering adopting a State Implementation Plan Revision for Purposes of an Emissions Inventory for the Ozone Nonattainment Area of DeSoto County, Mississippi and  adopting new air pollution control regulations for areas in Mississippi designated as Nonattainment for Federal National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  The new proposed regulations will be entitled 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, "Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Nonattainment Areas" and will be applicable statewide.

I.	Substance of the proposed action:

On July 22, 2012, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) designated a portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi to be included as a part of the Memphis, Tennessee  -  Mississippi  -  Arkansas (TN-MS-AR) Marginal Ozone Nonattainment Area.  Therefore, the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ) is required by the Clean Air Act (CAA) to implement requirements for certain air emission sources in Nonattainment Areas to submit an Emissions Statement annually.  The Department is also required to submit an Emissions Inventory of sources in the nonattainment portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi.  Section 182(a)(3)(B) of the (CAA) requires that within two (2) years of enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990, states submit to EPA a SIP submittal requiring sources in their marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas to submit annual emissions statements.  CAA section 182(a)(1) requires that marginal and above ozone nonattainment areas submit a base year emission inventory of ozone precursors for the nonattainment area two(2) years after designation.

The Department is proposing to adopt a State Implementation Plan Revision (SIP Revision) which includes adoption of new air pollution control regulations specifically for the purposes of implementing federal requirements for areas designated as nonattainment for National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).  The proposed new air pollution control regulations are entitled 11 Mississippi Administrative Code, Part 2, Chapter 11, "Regulations for Ambient Air Quality Nonattainment Areas".  The regulations will be applicable to sources in DeSoto County, Mississippi as well as any other areas in Mississippi that may be designated nonattainment for air quality in the future.  The proposed SIP Revision also includes the required emissions inventory for DeSoto County, Mississippi.

2011 POINT SOURCE INVENTORY
The development of the point source inventory by the Department began with the collection of actual 2011 process data and emission estimates from all Title V stationary sources that are required to submit inventory data according to the Air Emissions Reporting Rule (AERR).  Each 2011 inventory received was reviewed by the Department's staff to ensure that correct procedures were followed and appropriate emission factors, such as stack testing or AP-42 emission factors, were used in developing the inventory.  The Department submitted the 2011 point data to the EPA as part of the 2011 NEI effort.  The EPA did make some amendments to the Department's data, but primarily to "gap fill" pollutants or sources not provided by agencies.

To estimate the average summer day emissions for industrial point sources, the MDEQ used monthly throughput percentages provided by the facilities.  The airport point source inventory was developed from data provided by the EPA.  It was assumed that these sources operated at a constant rate throughout all months of the year (8.333% activity for each month).  If each month of the year contributed 8.333% of the activity, the percent of activity for the 5 ozone season months would be 41.66%. Since there are 153 days in the 2011 ozone season, the 41.66% can be divided by 153 to get an estimate of activity for an average ozone season day.  This gives a result of 0.272% activity for each day.  The estimated ratio of 0.00272 was multiplied by the annual emissions to estimate the average summer day emissions.  The data was reviewed by the Department's staff and updated as necessary.

2011 NONPOINT EMISSION INVENTORY

Nonpoint sources include emissions estimates from sources that are either too small or too numerous to be considered point sources which are calculated and recorded on the county-level.  Major categories for nonpoint sources include: Solvent use such as small surface coating operations, light industrial/commercial sources such as commercial bakeries, product storage and transport distribution such as gasoline, stationary source fuel combustion such as residential fuel combustion, waste management such as landfills, agriculture such as feedlots and crop burning, and miscellaneous area sources such as unpaved roads.

Emissions from nonpoint sources are calculated using established emissions factors provided by EPA.  Activity data adjustments are made to address some issues when estimating emissions.  These issues include coal data, nonroad mobile source consumption, non-fuel use, and point source adjustment.  These adjustments are made to prevent emissions from being double counted.  Average summer day emissions were calculated by summing the monthly emissions for the five summer months (May, June, July, August and September) and dividing the sum by the number of 2011 summer days (153 days).

2011 NONROAD MOBILE SOURCE EMISSIONS

Non-road sources are vehicles that normally operate off-road/off-highway and not on-road/on-highway.  Non-road emissions source category include: agricultural equipment, construction and mining equipment, lawn and garden equipment, off-road recreational equipment, and drilling rigs.  The nonroad mobile emissions are derived from the 2011 National Emissions Inventory (NEI).

Aircraft engine emissions occurring during landing & takeoff operations and the ground support equipment & auxiliary power units (APU) associated with the aircraft are included in the point source category at individual airports.  In-flight aircraft emissions, locomotive emissions outside of the rail yards, and commercial marine vessel emissions (both underway and port emissions) are included in the Non-Point source category.

The NEI Onroad and Nonroad source categories contain mobile sources which are estimated by EPA for the 2011 NEI by the MOVES2010b and NONROAD models, respectively.  NONROAD model was run within the National Mobile Inventory Model (NMIM).  Locomotives and commercial marine vessels are estimated for the 2011 NEI by the NONROAD model even though the emission sources are not included in the Non-road source category.  Average summer day emissions were calculated by summing the monthly emissions for the five summer months (May, June, July, August and September) and dividing the sum by the number of 2011 summer days (153 days).

2011 ONROAD MOBILE EMISSIONS

The following section contains onroad mobile inventory documentation for the portion of DeSoto County that is within Memphis Ozone Nonattainment Area.  The inventory data is for calendar year 2011.  The DeSoto County emissions inventory was developed by the Memphis Urban Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), with input from MDEQ and others, as part of the 2040 Desoto County Nonattainment Area Moves Air Quality Conformity Demonstration (March 2013).  To calculate the average summer day emissions, the MPO modeled weekday emissions in July.

Onroad mobile sources are sources of pollution caused by vehicles transporting goods or people on public roadways.  This includes passenger cars, motorcycles, minivans, sport-utility vehicles, light-duty trucks, heavy-duty trucks, and buses. The sectors include emissions from parking areas as well as emissions while the vehicles are moving.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FERC-912 (``Cogeneration and Small Power
Production, PURPA Section 210(m) Regulations for Termination or
Reinstatement of Obligation to Purchase or Sell,'' OMB Control No.
1902-0237) \1\ covers the reporting requirements in 18 CFR Part 292.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ During its history, ``FERC-912'' has been known by various
`names' and OMB control numbers. Originally, FERC had wanted to
include FERC-912 requirements in the FERC-556 `umbrella' of
requirements. Because FERC-556 (``Cogeneration and Small Power
Production;'' OMB Control No. 1902-0075) was pending OMB review of
another rulemaking (in Docket No. RM05-36-000) prior to the issuance
of the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) in RM06-10, the
Commission used a temporary identifier of ``FERC-912''.
    ``FERC-912'' was originally assigned the OMB Control No. 1902-
0219 at the NOPR stage. However, prior to issuance of the final rule
in Docket RM06-10, OMB Control No. 1902-0219 was eliminated from
OMB's inventory.
    FERC-556 (OMB Control No. 1902-0075) was then approved in RM05-
36, so FERC used the ``FERC-912(556)'' identifier in the Final Rule
in RM06-10. The Commission planned to transfer the hours associated
with ``FERC-912(556)'' in RM06-10 to FERC-556. Page two of the OMB
approval (dated 2/23/2007) for ICR Reference Number<PHONE_NUMBER>-003
listed OMB Control No. 1902-0237 as FERC-556.
    Currently FERC-556 (OMB Control No. 1902-0075) is pending OMB
review, so this collection is being called ``FERC-912'' and is being
submitted separately. FERC-556 is not a subject of this Notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 8, 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005, Pub.
L. 109-58, 119 Stat. 594 (2005)) was signed into law. Section 1253(a)
of EPAct 2005 amends section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory
Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA) by adding subsection (m), that provides
for the termination and reinstatement of an electric utility's
obligation to purchase and sell energy and capacity. The implementing
regulations in 18 CFR part 292 (18 CFR 292.309-292.313) provide
procedures for:
     An electric utility to file an application for the
termination of its obligation to purchase energy from a Qualifying
Facility (QF) (18 CFR 292.310);
     An affected entity or person to apply to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to purchase
energy from a QF (18 CFR 292.311);
     An electric utility to file an application for the
termination of its obligation to sell energy and capacity to QFs (18
CFR 292.312);
     An affected entity or person to apply to the Commission
for an order reinstating the electric utility's obligation to sell
energy and capacity to QFs (18 CFR 292.313).
    Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current FERC-912 reporting requirements, with no change.
    Burden Statement: The estimated annual public reporting burden for
FERC-912 follows.

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

    The total estimated annual cost burden to respondents is $5,304.58
[(86 hours/2,080 hours \2\ per year) x $128,297 \3\ per year].
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Number of hours an employee works each year.
    \3\ Estimated mean annual salary of a lawyer.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting, or otherwise disclosing the
information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed collection of
information

is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) 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; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
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.
