Safety Zone; Potomac River, Between Charles County, MD and King
George County, VA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
certain waters of the Potomac River. This action is necessary to
provide for the safety of persons, and the marine environment from the
potential safety hazards associated with construction operations at the
new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial
(US-301) Bridge, which will occur from 7 a.m. on January 3, 2022,
through 8 p.m. on January 15, 2022. This rule will prohibit persons and
vessels from being in the safety zone unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port, Maryland-National Capital Region or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from December 17,
2021 through January 15, 2022. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be issued from December 13, 2021 until December 17, 2021.

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On December 9, 2021, Skanska-Corman-McLean, Joint Venture, notified

the Coast Guard that the company will be setting structural steel
sections across the federal navigation channel at the new Governor
Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301)
Bridge. The bridge contractor stated the work required to set
structural steel across the channel, originally scheduled to occur in
November 2021, and rescheduled to December 2021, is now scheduled to
occur from January 3, 2022, through January 15, 2022. The work
described by the contractor requires the movement in and anchoring at
multiple points of a large crane barge within the federal navigation
channel. This crane can accommodate all of the steel to be hoisted and
placed, which will streamline the operation by avoiding multiple
reloads of steel and reducing the time in the channel by multiple days.
This operation will impede vessels requiring the use of the channel.
Note, the Coast Guard has previously issued other temporary safety
zones at this location for placement of fender ring elements in
association with construction of the new bridge (USCG-2021-0127; USCG-
2021-0650; and USCG-2021-0745).
    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because doing so would be impracticable and
contrary to the public interest. Construction operations involving
large crane heavy lifts at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator
Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge must occur within the
federal navigation channel. Immediate action is needed to respond to
the potential safety hazards associated with bridge construction.
Hazards from the construction operations include low-hanging or falling
ropes, cables, large piles and cement cast portions, dangerous
projectiles, and or other debris. We must establish this safety zone by
January 3, 2022, to guard against these hazards.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be impracticable and contrary to the public interest
because immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety
hazards associated with construction operations at the new Governor
Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge
to be conducted within the federal navigation channel.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The COTP has determined that
potential hazards associated with bridge construction starting January
3, 2022, will be a safety concern for anyone within the federal
navigation channel at the new Governor Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas
``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301) Bridge construction site. This rule
is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in
the navigable waters within the safety zone while the bridge is being
constructed.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 7 a.m. on
January 3, 2022, until 8 p.m. on January 15, 2022. The safety zone will
cover all navigable waters of the Potomac River encompassed by a line
connecting the following points beginning at 38[deg]21'50.96'' N,
076[deg]59'22.04'' W, thence south to 38[deg]21'43.08'' N,
076[deg]59'20.55'' W, thence west to 38[deg]21'41.00'' N,
076[deg]59'34.90'' W, thence north to 38[deg]21'48.90'' N,
076[deg]59'36.80'' W, and east back to the beginning point, located
between Charles County, MD and King George County, VA.
    The duration of the zone is intended to protect personnel and the
marine environment in these navigable waters while structural steel is
being set across the federal navigation channel at the new Governor
Harry W. Nice/Senator Thomas ``Mac'' Middleton Memorial (US-301)
Bridge.
    Except for marine equipment and vessels operated by Skanska-Corman-
McLean, Joint Venture, or its subcontractors, no vessel or person will
be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP Maryland-National Capital Region or a designated
representative.
    The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region will notify the public
that the safety zone will be enforced by all appropriate means to the
affected segments of the public, as practicable, in accordance with 33
CFR 165.7(a).

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on size and duration
of the safety zone. The temporary safety zone is approximately 450
yards in width and 270 yards in length. We anticipate that there will
be no vessels that are unable to conduct business. Excursion vessels
and commercial fishing vessels are not impacted by this rulemaking.
Excursion vessels do not operate in this area, and commercial fishing
vessels are not impacted because of their draft. Some towing vessels
may be impacted, but bridge project personnel have been conducting
outreach throughout the project in order to coordinate with those
vessels. Vessel traffic not required to use the navigation channel will
be able to safely transit around the safety zone. Such vessels may be
able to transit to the east or the west of the federal navigation
channel, as similar vertical clearance and water depth exist under the
next bridge span to the east and west. This safety zone will impact a
small designated area of the Potomac River for 13 days, but coincides
with the non-peak season for recreational boating.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. 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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rulemaking. The Coast Guard certifies under 5
U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    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 rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does 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.

E. 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 rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is one of
a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a
temporary safety zone lasting 13 total days that will prohibit entry
within a portion of the Potomac River. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental
Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket.
For instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so
that your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Illinois; Greif Packaging, LLC Adjusted Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve into the Illinois State
Implementation Plan (SIP) an adjusted standard for the Greif Packaging,
LLC facility located at 5 S 220 Frontenac Road in Naperville, Illinois
(Greif). On June 20, 2012, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency
submitted to EPA for approval an adjustment to the general rule,
Organic Material Emission Standards and Limitations for the Chicago
Area; Subpart TT: Other Emission Units, as it applies to emissions of
volatile organic matter (VOM) from Greif's fiber drum container
manufacturing facility. VOM, as defined by the State of Illinois, is
identical to volatile organic compound, as defined by EPA. The adjusted
standard replaces portions of the general rule for VOM emissions with
site-specific reasonably available control technology requirements for
the Greif facility.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 21, 2012.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

This proposed AD was prompted by reports of undetected water leaks from
the faucet control module (FCM) migrating below the passenger floor in
multiple lavatory locations during flight, and into the electronic
equipment bay(s). This proposed AD would require repetitive general
visual inspections of the area under all lavatory washbasins for
evidence of intermittent and active leaks at the FCM and applicable on-
condition actions. The FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by May 25,
2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposal. Send your comments to an address listed
under ADDRESSES. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2023-0657; Project Identifier
AD-2022-01351-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The most helpful
comments reference a specific portion of the proposal, explain the
reason for any recommended change, and include supporting data. The FAA
will consider all comments received by the closing date and may amend
this proposal because of those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
regulations.gov, including any personal information you provide. The
agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to
Courtney Tuck, Aerospace Engineer, Cabin Safety and Environmental
Systems Section, FAA, Seattle ACO Branch, 2200 South 216th St., Des
Moines, WA 98198; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].
Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically
designated as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this
rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA received reports of undetected water leaks from the faucet
control module (FCM) migrating below the passenger floor in multiple
lavatory locations during flight, and into the electronic equipment
bay(s), which could damage flight critical equipment. One operator
found wet carpet around the flight deck which led to an inspection of
their fleet. After inspecting their fleet, multiple airplanes had water
leaking from the FCMs.
    The FCMs are located under the sinks in each lavatory and have an
O-ring seal at the top of the FCM mixing chamber, which has been
identified as the source of the leak. When the FCM is activated and the
lavatory faucet is in use, a small amount of water can leak past the O-
ring. The leak path is out of the lavatory module and through the
airplane floor. Intermittent leakage will have a slow leak rate
(approximately 8 ounces per hour) but a long latency period because it
is difficult to detect.
    This condition, if not addressed, could result in loss of multiple
line replaceable units (LRUs) and subsequent loss of continued safe
flight and landing.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-
SB250290-00 RB, Issue 001, dated November 1, 2022. This service
information specifies procedures for a repetitive general visual
inspection of the area under all lavatory washbasins for evidence of
intermittent and active leaks at the FCM and applicable on-condition
actions. On-condition actions include replacing the affected FCM with
new or serviceable FCM at affected lavatory washbasin(s), and do a leak
test. If a leak is found, do applicable corrective action. Repeat the
leak test and make sure no leak is found.
    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 ADDRESSES.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described except for any differences
identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this proposed AD,
and except as discussed under ``Differences Between this Proposed AD
and the Service Information.'' For information on the procedures and
compliance times, see this service information at regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2023-0657.

Interim Action

    The FAA considers that this proposed AD would be an interim action.
The manufacturer is currently developing a redesigned FCM that will
address the unsafe condition identified in this AD. Once this FCM is
developed, approved, and available, the FAA might consider additional
rulemaking.

Differences Between This Proposed AD and the Service Information

    The effectivity of Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin B787-81205-
SB250290-00 RB, Issue 001, dated November 1, 2022, is limited to Model
787-8, -9, and -10 airplanes, line numbers 6 through 9996. However, the
applicability of this proposed AD includes all Boeing Model 787-8, 787-
9, and 787-10 airplanes. The FAA has determined that until the
redesigned FCM is developed, approved, and available, the interim
solution provided in this proposed AD must be required for all Model
787-8, -9, and -10 airplanes. If an airplane has a redesigned FCM
installed in production that would eliminate the need for the interim
solution, the operator may request an alternative method of compliance
(AMOC) in accordance with the procedures specified in the AD. Further,
if the FAA later obtains updated information from Boeing regarding new
production airplanes that have the redesigned FCM, the agency may
consider revising the applicability of the final rule to exclude
airplanes with the redesigned FCM.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 140 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost on U.S.
              Action                     Labor cost          Parts cost      Cost per product       operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Inspection........................  1 work-hour x $85                 $0   $85 per inspection           $11,900
                                     per hour = $85 per                     cycle.
                                     inspection cycle.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary
replacements that would be required based on the results of the
proposed inspection. The agency has no way of determining the number of
aircraft that might need these replacements:

                                               On-Condition Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per
                    Action                                Labor cost               Parts cost        product

                                                $85.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

Current Charge Questions for Local Government Advisory Committee (LGAC)

    1. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is delivering more than $50
billion to EPA to improve our nation's drinking water, wastewater, and
stormwater infrastructure. As EPA works to implement this law, the LGAC
is providing input on:
     Are there tools, resources, or technical assistance that
EPA can provide to help local governments access BIL funding to upgrade
their water and wastewater infrastructure?
     How can EPA work with the LGAC to educate, engage, and
celebrate local successes from BIL implementation?
    2. As EPA implements the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, how can we
do so in a way that supports the Administration's priorities of
tackling the climate crisis?
     Is there specific technical assistance that EPA should
offer local governments to ensure they plan for, develop and build
infrastructure that supports multiple community goals, including
improving environmental and economic outcomes, supporting equity and
environmental justice, and increasing communities' abilities to create
climate resilience?
    3. In October 2021, EPA announced a PFAS Strategic Roadmap, which
laid out a whole-of-agency approach to addressing PFAS. This Roadmap
includes several regulatory and policy actions regarding PFAS
contamination. Given that these processes can take several years, how
can EPA support local governments to address PFAS contamination in the
interim?
    4. How can EPA meet the needs and environmental priorities of
overburdened communities while also strengthening local government
capacity to provide ongoing environmental protections in partnership
with the states and EPA?

Current Charge Questions for Small Communities Advisory Subcommittee
(SCAS)

    1. As EPA works to implement the BIL, how can the Agency best:
     Support clean and sustainable air, water, and land
priorities for small and rural communities.
     Support capacity needs/advancement for small and rural
communities.
     Ensure long-lasting communication between EPA and local
officials from small and rural communities.
     Ensure small communities are positioned to benefit from
this generational investment in environmental infrastructure.
    Registration: All interested persons are invited to attend and
participate, either in person or virtually. The LGAC will hear comments
from the public from 2:15-2:30 p.m. (EDT) on June 23rd. The SCAS will
hear comments from the public 9:45-9:55 a.m. (EDT) on June 24th.
Individuals or organizations wishing to address the Committee or
Subcommittee will be allowed a maximum of five (5) minutes to present
their point of view. Also, written comments should be submitted
electronically to [email protected] for the LGAC and SCAS. Please contact
the DFO at the email listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT to
schedule a time on the agenda by June 16, 2022. Time will be allotted
on a first-come first-served basis, and the total period for comments
may be extended if the number of requests for appearances requires it.
    The agenda and other supportive meeting materials will be available
online at https://www.epa.gov/ocir/local-government-advisory-committee-lgac and can be obtained by written request to the DFO. In the event of
cancellation for unforeseen circumstances, please contact the DFO or
