SUBJECT:	Technical Support Document for Delaware’s Revision of
Regulation No. 1141 – Limiting Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds
from Consumer and Commercial Products, Section 3.0 – Portable Fuel
Containers

A.  BACKGROUND:

Regulation No.1141 – Limiting Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds
from Consumer and Commercial Products, Section 3.0 – Portable Fuel
Containers is concerned specifically with the use of portable fuel
containers and reducing refueling emissions from equipment and engines
that are predominantly refueled with portable containers.  On November
22, 2002 (67 FR 57776), EPA approved the previous version of Section
3.0.

Effective January 1, 2009, the EPA began to regulate emissions from
portable fuel containers (72 FR 8428).  The federal rule provides more
stringent emission control of portable fuel containers, and thereby
achieves greater VOC emission reductions than the current Delaware
regulation.  Delaware, therefore, revised Regulation No. 1141 such that
it does not apply to portable fuel containers manufactured on and after
January 1, 2009, and that Delaware would instead rely on the federal
rule to control emissions from this source.

B.  STATE SUBMITTAL:

On April 1, 2010, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and
Environmental Control (DNREC) submitted a revision to the Delaware State
Implementation Plan (SIP) that consists of Delaware’s regulation for
reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from portable fuel containers
(i.e. gas cans) in Delaware (Regulation No. 1141 – Limiting Emissions
of Volatile Organic Compounds from Consumer and Commercial Products,
Section 3.0 – Portable Fuel Containers).  The revision to Regulation
No. 1141 amends existing Section 3.0 – Portable Fuel Containers.   The
effective date of this regulation was April 11, 2010.

In Delaware’s April 1, 2010 submission, an error was made in the
citation of the federal rule.  It was accidentally referenced as 37 FR
8428 when it should have read 72 FR 8428.  On September 3, 2010,
Delaware submitted a supplement to this SIP revision correcting the
typo.  The supplement consisted of a letter describing the error and
Regulation 1141 with the correct citation for the federal rule.

Regulation No. 1141, Section 3.0 is revised to apply to any portable
fuel container or spout or both portable fuel container and spout
manufactured between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2008.  It
eliminates the applicability of Section 3.0 to portable fuel containers
manufactured on and after January 1, 2009, and instead these portable
fuel containers are regulated by federal regulation 72 FR 8428.

C.  EPA EVALUATION:

The State of Delaware is relying on the federal rule to control
emissions from portable fuel containers manufactured on and after
January 1, 2009.  This revision will continue to help Delaware reduce
VOC emissions and, therefore, attain and maintain NAAQS for ozone.

D.  CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED AGENCY ACTION:

Delaware’s adoption of the federal rule for portable fuel containers
(72 FR 8428) will result in greater VOC emission reductions from
portable fuel containers.  EPA approval of the SIP revision is
recommended.

  The subject of the letter in the SIP revision supplement erroneously
reads as “Delaware Implementation of the Greenhouse Tailoring Rule.”
 The body of the letter, however, describes the error in the citation in
the Portable Fuel Containers SIP submitted to EPA on April 1, 2010.

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain
Airbus Model A320-214, -251N, and -271N airplanes. This AD requires an
inspection for any damaged bolt and nut in each cargo fire
extinguishing bottle installation, and replacement of any damaged bolt
and nut. This AD was prompted by a report that a dynamometric key,
previously used for installing the cargo fire extinguishing bottle
system, was out of tolerance. As a result, an incorrect torque value
may have been applied to the bolts maintaining the fire extinguishing
bottles in place. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective March 26, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of March 26,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is the Technical
Agent for the Member States of the European Union, has issued EASA
Airworthiness Directive 2018-0038, dated February 7, 2018 (referred to
after this as the Mandatory Continuing Airworthiness Information, or
``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for certain Airbus Model
A320-214, -251N, and -271N airplanes. The MCAI states:

    During a periodic check on the final assembly line, a
dynamometric key, previously used for installing the cargo fire
extinguishing bottle system, was found out of tolerance. As a
consequence, an incorrect torque value may have been applied to the
screws maintaining the fire extinguishing bottle in place. Vibration
during normal operation of the aeroplane could further loosen these
screws.
    This condition, if not detected and corrected, could lead to
disconnection of a cargo fire extinguishing bottle, possibly
resulting in loss of the fire protection system in the lower deck
cargo compartment.
    Prompted by this finding, Airbus issued [Alert Operators
Transmission] AOT A26N003-16 (later revised) to provide

instructions to apply the correct torque value(s).
    For the reason described above, this [EASA] AD requires a one-
time inspection of the screws of each cargo fire extinguishing
bottle installation and, depending on findings, replacement of
screws and re-installation of the system.

    You may examine the MCAI on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0164.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Airbus has issued Alert Operators Transmission A26N003-16, Revision
01, dated June 12, 2017. The service information describes procedures
for a general visual inspection for any damaged bolt and nut in each
cargo fire extinguishing bottle installation, and replacement of all
damaged bolts and nuts. 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.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This AD

    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, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are issuing this AD because we
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.

FAA's Determination of the Effective Date

    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public justifies
waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule because of
the possibility of loss of the fire protection system in the lower deck
cargo compartment. Therefore, we determined that notice and opportunity
for public comment before issuing this AD are impracticable and that
good cause exists for making this amendment effective in fewer than 30
days.

Comments Invited

    This AD is a final rule that involves requirements affecting flight
safety, and we did not precede it by notice and opportunity for public
comment. We invite 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-2018-0164; Product
Identifier 2018-NM-026-AD'' at the beginning of your comments. We
specifically invite comments on the overall regulatory, economic,
environmental, and energy aspects of this AD. We will consider all
comments received by the closing date and may amend this AD based on
those comments.
    We will post all comments we receive, without change, to http://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. We
will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal contact we
receive about this AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 2 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in 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.
    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 to
the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We 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;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Background on Today's Action

    In this action, the EPA is providing notice that it is extending
the comment period on the proposed rule titled ``Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Program: Proposed Amendments and Confidentiality
Determinations for Subpart I'' which was published on October 16, 2012.
The previous deadline for submitting public comment on that rule was
December 17, 2012. The EPA is extending that deadline to January 16,
2013. This extension will provide the general public additional time
for participation and comments.
    In addition, the EPA is notifying the public that additional
documentation related to this proposed rule was entered into the docket
on November 8, 2012 and is available for public review. This
documentation summarizes a call between the Semiconductor Industry
Association and the EPA held on October 24, 2012 and provides
additional information in response to questions raised on that call,
including additional information regarding the calculation of the
``Tier 2a'' emission factors that appear in Tables I-11 and I-12 of the
proposed rule and regarding the identification of an error in those
calculations. The two new documents added to the docket to provide this
information are ``EPA SIA Call Summary from October 24 2012'' and
``Tier 2a NF3 and C2F6 Emission Factor Calculations''. The EPA
encourages the public to review these documents when considering
comments on this proposed rule.
