7. Title National Health Protection Survey of Beaches 8. Agency form number( s) ( If applicable) EPA ICR No. 1814.03 9. Keywords Public Health, Water Pollution Control 10. Abstract This ICR is a renewal of an existing ICR ( 1814.02) for the National Health Protection Survey of Beaches (" Beach Survey"). EPA believes there is a need to improve the overall quality and availability of public information about health protection activities at beaches, which include, but are not limited to, water quality standards, monitoring and assessment activities, and beach closures. Many organizations share responsibility for these activities. Consequently, EPA's Office of Water will conduct an annual " beach" survey. The survey will be sent to environmental health officials from State, tribal, county, and city agencies, as well as representatives from various interest groups. The survey will obtain and verify information on the location and condition of swimming beaches and the agencies and persons responsible for maintaining and issuing advisories or closings for those beaches at inland sites around the Nation. Responses to the questionnaire ( either on paper or electronically via the Internet) are required to gather information about water quality standards, to assess public health risks, and to determine what steps EPA should take next, if any. Completion of the questionnaire is voluntary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program and Request for Review

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces that it is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program that was submitted for
Buckeye Municipal Airport under the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et
seq. (the Aviation Safety and Noise Abatement Act, hereinafter referred
to as ``the Act'') and 14 CFR part 150 by Town of Buckeye. This program
was submitted subsequent to a determination by FAA that associated
noise exposure maps submitted under 14 CFR Part 150 for Buckeye
Municipal Airport were in compliance with applicable requirements,
effective September 22, 2008 and Federal Register published February
25, 2009. The proposed noise compatibility program will be approved or
disapproved on or before June 1, 2010.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of the start of FAA's review
of the noise compatibility program is December 4, 2009. The public
comment period ends February 1, 2010.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Roxana Hernandez, Los Angeles Airports
District Office, Room 3000, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, CA
90261 and<PHONE_NUMBER>. Comments on the proposed noise compatibility
program should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA is
reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program for Buckeye Municipal
Airport, which will be approved or disapproved on or before June 1,
2010. This notice also announces the availability of this program for
public review and comment.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of Federal
Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act,
may submit a noise compatibility program for FAA approval which sets
forth the measures the operator has taken or proposes to reduce
existing non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional
non-compatible uses.

    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
Buckeye Municipal Airport, effective on December 4, 2009. The airport
operator has requested that the FAA review this material and that the
noise mitigation measures, to be implemented jointly by the airport and
surrounding communities, be approved as a noise compatibility program
under section 47504 of the Act. Preliminary review of the submitted
material indicates that it conforms to FAR Part 150 requirements for
the submittal of noise compatibility programs, but that further review
will be necessary prior to approval or disapproval of the program. The
formal review period, limited by law to a maximum of 180 days, will be
completed on or before June 1, 2010.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of 14 CFR part 150, section 150.33. The primary
considerations in the evaluation process are whether the proposed
measures may reduce the level of aviation safety or create an undue
burden on interstate or foreign commerce, and whether they are
reasonably consistent with obtaining the goal of reducing existing non-
compatible land uses and preventing the introduction of additional non-
compatible land uses.
    Interested persons are invited to comment on the proposed program
with specific reference to these factors. All comments relating to
these factors, other than those properly addressed to local land use
authorities, will be considered by the FAA to the extent practicable.
Copies of the noise exposure maps and the proposed noise compatibility
program are available for examination at the following locations:

Federal Aviation Administration, Los Angeles Airports District Office,
Room 3000, 15000 Aviation Boulevard, Lawndale, CA 90261.
Mr. Kimm Flatt, Airport Manager, Buckeye Municipal Airport, 3000 South
Palo Verde Road, Buckeye, AZ 85326.

    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Hawthorne, California, on December 4, 2009.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP08-8-000]

Leaf River Energy Center LLC; Notice of Availability of the
Environmental Assessment for the Proposed Leaf River Storage Project

April 30, 2008.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) on the
natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Leaf River Energy Center
LLC (Leaf River) in the above-referenced docket.
    The EA was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the National
Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that approval of the
proposed project, with appropriate mitigating measures, would not
constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality
of the human environment.
    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is a federal cooperating agency
for the development of this EA. A federal cooperating agency has
jurisdiction by law or special expertise with respect to the proposed
action and participates in the NEPA analysis.
    The EA assesses the potential environmental effects of the
construction and operation of Leaf River's proposed Leaf River Storage
(LRS) Project. The LRS Project would involve construction of the
following facilities in Smith, Jasper, and Clarke Counties,
Mississippi:
     Four storage wells and caverns with a total working gas
capacity of 32 billion cubic feet (Bcf);
     Seven 4,800-horsepower gas driven reciprocating compressor
units at its proposed compressor station/gas handling facility along
with gas dehydration equipment;
     Four water supply wells and four deep saltwater disposal
wells, and construct a 16-inch-diameter water supply pipeline and a 16-
inch-diameter saltwater disposal pipeline to these wells;
     6.6 miles of dual bi-directional 24-inch-diameter natural
gas pipelines called the Dome Lateral;
     The West-East Lateral which consists of a single 6.9 mile
24-inch-diameter natural gas pipeline to the west of the junction with
the Dome Lateral and 30.2 miles of dual 24-inch-diameter natural gas
pipelines to the east of the junction which would follow the corridor
to be occupied by Gulf South Pipeline Company, LP's Southeast Expansion
Project currently under construction;
     A fiber optic cable communication system from the gas
handling facility along the header system to the interconnect locations
to the cavern wells to transmit communications to operate the storage
facility;
     A fiber optic cable from the gas handling facility to the
water supply wells and salt water disposal wells and to the cavern
wells to transmit communications to develop the cavern wells; and
     Four meter and regulator stations and five interstate gas
transmission pipeline interconnections.
    The purpose of the project is to provide high-deliverability,
multi-cycle natural gas storage services to multiple interstate gas
transmission systems.
    The EA has been placed in the public files of the FERC. A limited
number of copies of the EA are available for distribution and public
inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Public Reference
Room, 888 First Street, NE., Room 2A, Washington, DC 20426, (202) 502-
8371.
    Copies of the EA have been mailed to federal, state, and local
agencies, public

interest groups, interested individuals, newspapers, and libraries in
the project area, and parties to this proceeding. Any person wishing to
comment on the EA may do so. To ensure consideration prior to a
Commission decision on the proposal, it is important that we receive
your comments before the date specified below.

    Background: The licensed drivers in the United States deserve
reasonable assurances that their fellow motorists are properly
qualified to drive the vehicles they operate. Before the Commercial
Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986 (CMVSA or the Act) (Pub. L. 99-570,
Title XII, 100 Stat. 3207-170, codified at 49 U.S.C. chapter 313) was
signed by the President on October 27, 1986, 18 States and the District
of Columbia authorized any person licensed to drive an automobile to
also legally drive a large truck or bus. No special training or special
license was required to drive these vehicles, even though it was widely
recognized that operation of certain types of vehicles called for
special skills, knowledge, and training. Even in the 32 States that had
a classified driver licensing system in place, only 12 of these States
required an applicant to take a skills test in a representative
vehicle. Equally serious was the problem of drivers possessing multiple
driver licenses. By spreading their convictions among several States,
commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers could avoid punishment for their
infringements and stay behind the wheel.
    The CMVSA addressed these problems by requiring the Federal
government to act and place minimum standards on all jurisdictions,
including the District of Columbia. Section 12002 of the Act made it
illegal for a CMV operator to have more than one driver's license.
Section 12003 required the CMV driver conducting operations in commerce
to notify both the designated State of licensure official and the
driver's employer of any convictions of State or local laws relating to
traffic control (except parking tickets). This section also required
the promulgation of regulations to ensure each person who applies for
employment as a CMV operator to notify prospective employers of all
previous employment as a CMV operator for at least the previous 10
years. In section 12005 of the Act, the Secretary of Transportation
(Secretary) is required to develop minimum Federal standards for
testing and licensing of operators of CMVs. Section 12007 of the Act
also directed the Secretary, in cooperation with the States, to develop
a clearinghouse to aid the States in implementing the one driver, one
license, and one driving record requirement. This clearinghouse is
known as the Commercial Driver's License Information System (CDLIS).
The CMVSA further required each person who has their CDL suspended,
revoked or canceled by a State, or who is disqualified from operating a
CMV for any period, to notify his or her employer of such actions.
Drivers of CMVs must notify their employers within 1 business day of
being notified of the license suspension, revocation, and cancellation,
or of the lost right to operate or disqualification. These requirements
are reflected in 49 CFR part 383, titled ``Commercial Driver's License
Standards; Requirements and Penalties.'' Specifically, section 383.21
prohibits a person from having more than one license; section 383.31
requires notification of convictions for driver violations; section
383.33 requires notification of driver's license suspensions; section
383.35 requires notification of previous employment; and section 383.37
outlines employer responsibilities. Section 383.111

requires the passing of a knowledge test by the driver and section
383.113 requires the passing of a skills test by the driver. Section
383.115 contains the requirement for the double/triple trailer
endorsement; section 383.117 contains the requirement for the passenger
endorsement; section 383.119 contains the requirement for the tank
vehicle endorsement; and section 383.121 contains the requirement for
the hazardous materials endorsement. The 10-year employment history
information supplied by the CDL holder to the employer upon application
for employment (49 CFR 383.35) is used to assist the employer in
meeting his/her responsibilities to ensure that the applicant does not
have a history of high safety risk behavior. State officials use the
information collected on the license application form (49 CFR 383.71),
the medical certificate information that is posted to the driving
record, and the conviction and disqualification data posted to the
driving record (49 CFR 383.73) to prevent unqualified and/or
disqualified CDL holders from operating CMVs on the nation's highways.
State officials are required to adopt and administer an FMCSA approved
program for testing and ensuring the fitness of persons to operate CMVs
(49 CFR 384.201). State officials are also required to administer
knowledge and skills tests to CDL driver applicants (49 CFR 384.202).
The driver applicant is required to correctly answer at least 80
percent of the questions on each knowledge test to achieve a passing
score on that test. To achieve a passing score on the skills test, the
driver applicant must demonstrate that he/she can successfully perform
all the skills listed in the regulations. During State CDL program
reviews, FMCSA officials review this information to ensure that the
provisions of the regulations are being carried out. Without the
aforementioned requirements, there would be no uniform control over
driver licensing practices to prevent unqualified and/or disqualified
drivers from being issued a CDL and to prevent unsafe drivers from
spreading their convictions among several licenses in several States
and remaining behind the wheel of a CMV. Failure to collect this
information would render the regulations unenforceable.
    The 60-day Federal Register notice (86 FR 49595) was published on
September 3, 2021 and announced FMCSA's intent to submit the Commercial
Driver Licensing and Test Standards clearance process to OMB for
approval and requested comments from the public for 60 days. The FMCSA
received one comment recommending FMCSA: (1) Add a minimum number of
behind-the-wheel training hours to the entry level driver training
regulations, (2) implement the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st
Century (Pub. L. 112-141, MAP-21) mandate for a written proficiency
exam for new motor carriers, and (3) include additional data collection
elements based on those additions. The comment was filed jointly by the
Truck Safety Coalition (TSC), Citizens for Reliable and Safe Highways
(CRASH), Parents Against Tired Truckers (PATT), and their volunteers.
This comment proposes changes to regulatory requirements, and not to
the revision of the collection of information.
    FMCSA contacted the commenters and notified them that their request
is denied for two reasons. First, FMCSA noted that it will not be
adding a minimum number of behind-the-wheel training hours to the entry
level driver training regulations because there is no evidence that a
certain amount of behind-the-wheel training has an impact on the safety
performance of new drivers. FMCSA explained this in the Minimum
Training Requirements for Entry-Level Commercial Motor Vehicle
Operators (81 FR 88732) Federal Register notice. Second, the MAP-21
mandate referenced does not pertain to CDLs and is not applicable to
this information collection request.
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) Whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information.

[Docket No. 121025585-3248-01]
RIN 0694-AF73

Amendment to the Export Administration Regulations: List of Items
Classified Under Export Control Classification 0Y521 Series--Biosensor
Systems

AGENCY: Bureau of Industry and Security, Commerce.

ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In this interim final rule, the Bureau of Industry and
Security (BIS) amends the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to
make certain items subject to the EAR and to impose on those items a
license requirement for export and reexport to all destinations, except
Canada. Specifically, this rule classifies specified biosensor systems,
``software'' and ``technology'' under Export Control Classification
Numbers (ECCNs) 0A521, 0D521 and 0E521, respectively, on the Commerce
Control List (CCL). As described in the final rule that established the
0Y521 series and that was published in the Federal Register on April
13, 2012 (77 FR 22191), items are added to the 0Y521 series upon a
determination by the Department of Commerce, with the concurrence of
the Departments of Defense and State, that the items should

be controlled for export because the items provide at least a
significant military or intelligence advantage to the United States or
foreign policy reasons justify control. The items identified in this
rule are controlled for regional stability (RS) Column 1 reasons. The
only license exception available for these items is for official use by
personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government.

DATES: This rule is effective March 28, 2013. Comments must be received
by May 28, 2013.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments by any of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    BIS established the ECCN 0Y521 series to identify items that
warrant control on the CCL but are not yet identified in an existing
ECCN. Items are added to the ECCN 0Y521 series by the Department of
Commerce, with the concurrence of the Departments of Defense and State,
upon a determination that an item should be controlled because it
provides at least a significant military or intelligence advantage to
the United States or because foreign policy reasons justify such
control. The ECCN 0Y521 series is a temporary holding classification
equivalent to United States Munitions List (USML) Category XXI
(Miscellaneous Articles) in part 121 of the International Traffic in
Arms Regulations, but with a limitation that while an item is
temporarily classified under ECCN 0Y521, the U.S. Government works to
adopt a control through the relevant multilateral regime(s), to
determine an appropriate longer-term control over the item, or that the
item does not warrant control on the CCL.
    Items classified under ECCN 0Y521, including the items identified
in this interim final rule as 0A521, 0D521 and 0E521 items, remain so-
classified for one year from the date a final rule identifying the item
is published in the Federal Register amending the EAR, unless the item
is re-classified under a different ECCN, under an EAR99 designation, or
the 0Y521 classification is extended. During this time, the U.S.
Government determines whether it is appropriate to submit a proposed
control to the applicable export control regime (e.g., the Australia
Group) for potential multilateral control, with the understanding that
multilateral controls are preferable when practical. An item's ECCN
0Y521 classification may be extended for two one-year periods to
provide time for the U.S. Government and multilateral regime(s) to
reach agreement on controls for the item, and provided that the U.S.
Government has submitted a proposal to obtain multilateral controls
over the item. Further extension beyond three years may occur only if
the Under Secretary for Industry and Security makes a determination
that such extension is in the national security or foreign policy
interests of the United States. An extension or re-extension, including
a determination by the Under Secretary for Industry and Security, will
be published in the Federal Register.

License Requirements, Policies and Exceptions

    The license requirements and policies for the ECCNs 0Y521 series
appear in Sec.  742.6(a)(7) of the EAR. ECCN 0Y521 items are subject to
a nearly worldwide license requirement (i.e., for every country except
Canada) with a case-by-case license review policy, through regional
stability (RS Column 1) controls. The description and status of ECCN
0Y521 items appear in Supplement No. 5 to part 774 of the EAR, along
with any item-specific license exceptions, where applicable. Unless
otherwise indicated, License Exception GOV is applicable to all ECCN
0Y521 series items, including those items identified in this notice, if
the item is within the scope of Sec.  740.11(b)(2)(ii) (Items for
official use by personnel and agencies of the U.S. Government), as
provided in Sec.  740.2(a)(14). License Exception GOV is the only
license exception that can be used for the items identified in this
interim final rule.

Addition of ECCN 0A521, 0D521 and 0E521 Items

    In this rule, BIS amends the EAR to make specified biosensor
systems, and related ``software,'' and ``technology'' subject to the
EAR and impose license requirements on these items. These items are
being added to the 0Y521 series pursuant to a determination by the
Department of Commerce, with the concurrence of the Departments of
State and Defense, that these items should be controlled because they
provide a significant military or intelligence advantage to the United
States or because foreign policy reasons justify such controls. The
specified biosensor systems, ``software,'' and ``technology'' are
classified under ECCNs 0A521, 0D521 and 0E521, respectively. A brief
description of each of these items and ECCNs follows.
    ECCN 0A521 covers biosensor systems and dedicated detecting
components capable of detecting certain aerosolized bioagents and
having the following characteristics: capable of showing results in
three minutes or less; containing an integrated bioaerosol collector
and identifier; containing antibodies to the bioagents listed in the
entry; and utilizing bioluminescence as a process. This entry also
includes a Related Controls paragraph that differentiates ECCNs 1A004.c
detection systems and 2B351 toxic gas monitoring systems and their
dedicated detecting components controls on the CCL from 0A521 Biosensor
Systems. That paragraph also refers exporters to USML Category
XIV(f)(2) for equipment for the detection, identification, warning or
monitoring of biological agents that is subject to the licensing
jurisdiction of the Department of State, Directorate of Defense Trade
Controls. Finally, two Technical Notes are provided for this entry
defining the term `dedicated' and clarifying that the entry does not
control biosensor systems that detect foodborne pathogens.
    0D521 is ``Software'' for the function of biosensor systems
controlled by ECCN 0A521.
    0E521 is ``Technology'' for the ``development'' or ``production''
of biosensor systems controlled by ECCN 0A521.
    The technical descriptions and the status of the specified items
appear in the table found in Supplement No. 5 to part 774 of the EAR.

License Applications for the New ECCN 0A521, 0D521 and 0E521 Items

    License applications for these items may be submitted through SNAP-
R in accordance with Sec.  748.6 of the EAR. Exporters are directed to
include detailed descriptions and technical specifications with the
license application, and identify the hardware as ECCN 0A521, the
``software'' as ECCN 0D521, and the ``technology'' as ECCN 0E521.

    This rule is being issued in interim final form because while the
Government believes that it is in the national security interests of
the United States to immediately implement these controls, it also
wants to provide the interested public with an opportunity to comment
to the Government on the ultimate nature of export controls on these
items.
    Although the Export Administration Act expired on August 20, 2001,
the President, through Executive Order 13222 of August 17, 2001, 3 CFR,
2001 Comp., p. 783 (2002), as extended by the Notice of August 15,
2012, 77 FR 49699 (August 16, 2012), has continued the Export
Administration Regulations in effect under the International Emergency
Economic Powers Act. BIS continues to carry out the provisions of the
Export Administration Act, as appropriate and to the extent permitted
by law, pursuant to Executive Order 13222.

Rulemaking Requirements

    1. Executive Orders 13563 and 12866 direct agencies to assess all
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits (including potential economic, environmental, public
health and safety effects, distribute impacts, and equity). Executive
Order 13563 emphasizes the importance of quantifying both costs and
benefits, of reducing costs, of harmonizing rules, and of promoting
flexibility. This rule has been determined to be not significant for
purposes of Executive Order 12866.
    2. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person is
required to respond to, nor is subject to a penalty for failure to
comply with, a collection of information, subject to the requirements
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) (PRA),
unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB
control number. This rule affects two approved collections: (1) The
Simplified Network Application Processing + System (control number
0694-0088), which carries a burden hour estimate of 43.8 minutes,
including the time necessary to submit license applications, among
other things, as well as miscellaneous and other recordkeeping
activities that account for 12 minutes per submission; and (2) License
Exceptions and Exclusions (0694-0137). With these initial 0Y521 series
items, BIS does not believe that this rule will materially increase the
number of submissions under these collections.
    3. This rule does not contain policies with Federalism implications
as that term is defined under E.O. 13132.
    4. The provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553) requiring prior notice, the opportunity for public comment and a
delay in effective date are inapplicable because this regulation
involves a military or foreign affairs function of the United States
(See 5 U.S.C. 553(a)(1)). BIS, with the concurrence of the U.S.
Departments of Defense and State, is implementing this rule because the
items identified for the ECCN 0Y521 series in this rule provide a
significant military or intelligence advantage to the United States.
Immediate imposition of a license requirement is necessary to effect
the national security and foreign policy goals of this rule. Immediate
implementation will allow BIS to prevent exports of these items to
users and for uses that pose a national security threat to the United
States or its allies. If BIS delayed this rule to allow for prior
notice and opportunity for public comment, the resulting delay in
implementation would afford an opportunity for the export of these
items to users and uses that pose such a national security threat,
thereby undermining the purpose of the rule. In addition, if parties
receive notice of the U.S. Government's intention to control these
items under 0Y521 once a final rule was published, they might have an
incentive to either accelerate orders of these items or attempt to have
the items exported prior to the imposition of the control.
    Further, BIS finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in
effectiveness under 5 USC 553(d)(3). Immediate implementation will
allow BIS to prevent exports of these items to users and for uses that
pose a national security threat to the United States or its allies. If
BIS delayed this rule to allow for a 30-day delay in effectiveness, the
resulting delay in implementation would afford an opportunity for the
export of these items to users and uses that pose such a national
security threat, thereby undermining the purpose of the rule.
    Because a notice of proposed rulemaking and an opportunity for
public comment are not required to be given for this rule by 5 U.S.C.
553, or by any other law, the analytical requirements of the Regulatory
Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601 et seq., are not applicable. Although
notice and opportunity for comment are not required, BIS is issuing
this rule as an interim final rule with a request for comments. All
comments must be in writing and submitted via one or more of the
methods listed under the ADDRESSES caption to this notice. All comments
(including any personal identifiable information) will be available for
public inspection and copying. Those wishing to comment anonymously may
do so by submitting their comment via regulations.gov and leaving the
fields for identifying information blank.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 97

[Docket No. 30727; Amdt. No. 3376]

Standard Instrument Approach Procedures, and Takeoff Minimums and
Obstacle Departure Procedures; Miscellaneous Amendments

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This establishes, amends, suspends, or revokes Standard
Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) and associated Takeoff Minimums
and Obstacle Departure Procedures for operations at certain airports.
These regulatory actions are needed because of the adoption of new or
revised criteria, or because of changes occurring in the National
Airspace System, such as the commissioning of new navigational
facilities, adding new obstacles, or changing air traffic requirements.
These changes are designed to provide safe and efficient use of the
navigable airspace and to promote safe flight operations under
instrument flight rules at the affected airports.

DATES: This rule is effective June 9, 2010. The compliance date for
each SIAP, associated Takeoff Minimums, and ODP is specified in the
amendatory provisions.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in
the regulations is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as
of June 9, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Availability of matters incorporated by reference in the
amendment is as follows:
    For Examination--
    1. FAA Rules Docket, FAA Headquarters Building, 800 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located;
    3. The National Flight Procedures Office, 6500 South MacArthur
Blvd., Oklahoma City, OK 73169; or
    4. The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For
information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-
6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_
federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
    Availability--All SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPs are available
online free of charge. Visit http://www.nfdc.faa.gov to register.
Additionally, individual SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and ODP copies may
be obtained from:
    1. FAA Public Inquiry Center (APA-200), FAA Headquarters Building,
800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591; or
    2. The FAA Regional Office of the region in which the affected
airport is located.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Harry J. Hodges, Flight Procedure
Standards Branch (AFS-420), Flight Technologies and Programs Divisions,
Flight Standards Service, Federal Aviation Administration, Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Center, 6500 South MacArthur Blvd., Oklahoma
City, OK 73169 (Mail Address: P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma City, OK 73125)
Telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This rule amends Title 14 of the Code of
Federal Regulations, Part 97 (14 CFR part 97), by establishing,
amending, suspending, or revoking SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and/or ODPS.
The complete regulators description of each SIAP and its associated
Takeoff Minimums or ODP for an identified airport is listed on FAA form
documents which are incorporated by reference in this amendment under 5
U.S.C. 552(a), 1 CFR part 51, and 14 CFR part 97.20. The applicable FAA
Forms are FAA Forms 8260-3, 8260-4, 8260-5, 8260-15A, and 8260-15B when
required by an entry on 8260-15A.
    The large number of SIAPs, Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, in addition
to their complex nature and the need for a special format make
publication in the Federal Register expensive and impractical.
Furthermore, airmen do not use the regulatory text of the SIAPs,
Takeoff Minimums or ODPs, but instead refer to their depiction on
charts printed by publishers of aeronautical materials. The advantages
of incorporation by reference are realized and publication of the
complete description of each SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP listed on
FAA forms is unnecessary. This amendment provides the affected CFR
sections and specifies the types of SIAPs and the effective dates of
the, associated Takeoff Minimums and ODPs. This amendment also
identifies the airport and its location, the procedure, and the
amendment number.

The Rule

    This amendment to 14 CFR part 97 is effective upon publication of
each separate SIAP, Takeoff Minimums and ODP as contained in the
transmittal. Some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums and textual ODP amendments
may have been issued previously by the FAA in a Flight Data Center
(FDC) Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) as an emergency action of immediate
flight safety relating directly to published aeronautical charts. The
circumstances which created the need for some SIAP and Takeoff Minimums
and ODP amendments may require making them effective in less than 30
days. For the remaining SIAPS and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS, an
effective date at least 30 days after publication is provided.
    Further, the SIAPs and Takeoff Minimums and ODPS contained in this
amendment are based on the criteria contained in the U.S. Standard for
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS). In developing these SIAPS and
Takeoff Minimums and ODPs, the TERPS criteria were applied to the
conditions existing or anticipated at the affected airports. Because of
the close and immediate relationship between these SIAPs, Takeoff
Minimums and ODPs, and safety in air commerce, I find that notice and
public procedures before adopting these SIAPS, Takeoff Minimums and
ODPs are impracticable and contrary to the public interest and,

where applicable, that good cause exists for making some SIAPs
effective in less than 30 days.

Conclusion

    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.
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. For the same reason, the FAA
certifies that this amendment will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP19-501-000]

Texas Eastern Transmission, LP; Notice of Request for Extension
of Time

    Take notice that on February 7, 2022, Texas Eastern Transmission,
LP. (Texas Eastern), requested that the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (Commission) grant an extension of time, until March 24,
2023, to complete construction of the Bailey East Mine Panel 11J
Project (Project) and make the Project available for service, as
authorized in the March 24, 2020 Order Issuing Certificates
(Certificate Order).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Texas Eastern Transmission, LP, 170 FERC ] 62,167
(2020)(Certificate Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Texas Eastern was granted authorization to excavate, elevate, and
replace certain segments of four different natural gas transmission
pipelines and appurtenant facilities, and to monitor potential strains
on the pipeline sections due to anticipated longwall mining activities
planned by CONSOL Energy, Inc. (CONSOL) in Marshall County, West
Virginia. The Certificate Order required Texas Eastern to complete
construction of the Project facilities and make them available for
service by March 24, 2022.\2\ Texas Eastern has completed the
reinstallation of Lines 15 and 30 below ground and placed those lines
back into service in December 2021. Due to delays in the reinstallation
and hydrostatic testing of Lines 10 and 25, Texas Eastern now request
an additional year, until March 24, 2023, to complete construction of
the Project and place it into service.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Certificate Order, 170 FERC ] 62,167 at ordering para. (D).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice establishes a 15-calendar day intervention and comment
period deadline. Any person wishing to comment on Texas Eastern's
request for an extension of time may do so. No reply comments or
answers will be considered. If you wish to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this request, you should, on or
before the comment date stated below, file a motion to intervene in
accordance with the requirements of the Commission's Rules of Practice
and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or 385.211) and the Regulations under the
Natural Gas Act (18 CFR 157.10).
    As a matter of practice, the Commission itself generally acts on
requests for extensions of time to complete construction for Natural
Gas Act facilities when such requests are contested before order
issuance. For those extension requests that are contested,\3\ the
Commission will aim to issue an order acting on the request within 45
days.\4\ The Commission will address all arguments relating to whether
the applicant has demonstrated there is good cause to grant the
extension.\5\ The Commission will not consider arguments that re-
litigate the issuance of the certificate order, including whether the
Commission properly found the project to be in the public convenience
and necessity and whether the Commission's environmental analysis for
the certificate complied with the National Environmental Policy Act.\6\
At the time a pipeline requests an extension of time, orders on
certificates of public convenience and necessity are final and the
Commission will not re-litigate their issuance.\7\ The OEP Director, or
his or her designee, will act on all of those extension requests that
are uncontested.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Contested proceedings are those where an intervenor disputes
any material issue of the filing. 18 CFR 385.2201(c)(1) (2019).

    \6\ Similarly, the Commission will not re-litigate the issuance
of an NGA section 3 authorization, including whether a proposed
project is not inconsistent with the public interest and whether the
Commission's environmental analysis for the permit order complied
with NEPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Notice of the Application for Expansion

    The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is providing
notice that MET Laboratories, Inc. (MET), is applying for expansion of
its current recognition as an NRTL. MET requests the addition of one
test standard to its NRTL scope of recognition.
    OSHA recognition of an NRTL signifies that the organization meets
the requirements specified in 29 CFR 1910.7. Recognition is an
acknowledgment that the organization can perform independent safety
testing and certification of the specific products covered within its
scope of recognition. Each NRTL's scope of recognition includes the
type of products the NRTL may test, with each type specified by its
applicable test standard; and the recognized site(s) that has/have the
technical capability to perform the product-testing and product-
certification activities for test standards within the NRTL's scope.
Recognition is not a delegation or grant of government authority;
however, recognition enables employers to use products approved by the
NRTL to meet OSHA standards that require product testing and
certification.
    The Agency processes applications by an NRTL for initial
recognition, and for an expansion or renewal of this recognition,
following requirements in Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. This appendix
requires that the Agency publish two notices in the Federal Register in
processing an application. In the first notice, OSHA announces the
application and provides its preliminary finding. In the second notice,
the Agency provides its final decision on the application. These
notices set forth the NRTL's scope of recognition or modifications of
that scope. OSHA maintains an informational Web page for each NRTL,
including MET, which details the NRTL's scope of recognition. These
pages are available from the OSHA Web site at http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/index.html.

    MET currently has one facility (site) recognized by OSHA for
product testing and certification, with its headquarters located at:
MET Laboratories, Inc., 914 West Patapsco Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland
21230. A complete list of MET's scope of recognition is available at
http://www.osha.gov/dts/otpca/nrtl/met.html.

II. General Background on the Application and Request

    MET submitted an application, dated March 7, 2014 (OSHA-2006-0028-
0014), to expand its recognition to include one additional test
standard. OSHA staff performed a comparability analysis and reviewed
other pertinent information. OSHA did not perform any on-site reviews
in relation to this application.
    Table 1 below lists the appropriate test standard found in MET's
application for expansion for testing and certification of products
under the NRTL Program.

ANSI/AAMI ES60601-1:2005/      Medical electrical equipment, Part 1:
 (R)2012.                       General requirements for basic safety
                                and essential performance (with
                                amendments)
------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Preliminary Findings on the Application

    MET submitted an acceptable application for expansion of its scope
of recognition. OSHA's review of the application file and the
comparability analysis indicates that MET can meet the requirements
prescribed by 29 CFR 1910.7 for expanding its recognition to include
the addition of this one test standard for NRTL testing and
certification listed above. This preliminary finding does not
constitute an interim or temporary approval of MET's application.
    OSHA welcomes public comment as to whether MET meets the
requirements of 29 CFR 1910.7 for expansion of its recognition as an
NRTL. Comments should consist of pertinent written documents and
exhibits. Commenters needing more time to comment must submit a request
in writing, stating the reasons for the request. Commenters must submit
the written request for an extension by the due date for comments. OSHA
will limit any extension to 10 days unless the requester justifies a
longer period. OSHA may deny a request for an extension if it is not
adequately justified. To obtain or review copies of the publicly
available information in MET's application, including pertinent
documents and all submitted comments, contact the Docket Office, Room
N-2625, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor, at the above address; these materials also are available
online at http://www.regulations.gov under Docket No. OSHA-2006-0028.
    OSHA staff will review all comments to the docket submitted in a
timely manner and, after addressing the issues raised by these
comments, will recommend to the Assistant Secretary for Occupational
Safety and Health whether to grant MET's application for expansion of
its scope of recognition. The Assistant Secretary will make the final
decision on granting the application. In making this decision, the
Assistant Secretary may undertake other proceedings prescribed in
Appendix A to 29 CFR 1910.7. OSHA will publish a public notice of this
final decision in the Federal Register.
