SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

    Extension: Form 2-E under Rule 609, SEC File No. 270-222, OMB
Control No. 3235-0233.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 609 (17 CFR 230.609) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires small business investment companies and
business development companies that have engaged in offerings of
securities that are exempt from registration pursuant to Regulation E
under the Securities Act of 1933 (17 CFR 230.601 to 610a) to report
semi-annually on Form 2-E (17 CFR 239.201) the progress of the
offering. The form solicits information such as the dates an offering
has commenced and has been completed, the number of shares sold and
still being offered, amounts received in the offering, and expenses and
underwriting discounts incurred in the offering. This information
assists the staff in determining whether the issuer has stayed within
the limits of an offering exemption.
    Form 2-E must be filed semi-annually during an offering and as a
final report at the completion of the offering. Less frequent filing
would not allow the Commission to monitor the progress of the offering
in order to ensure that the issuer was not attempting to avoid the
normal registration provisions of the securities laws.
    During the calendar year 2008, there were five filings of Form 2-E
by three respondents. The Commission estimates, based on its experience
with disclosure documents generally and Form 2-E in particular, and
based on informal contacts with the investment company industry, that
the total annual burden associated with information collection and Form
2-E preparation and submission is four hours per filing or 20 hours for
all respondents.
    The estimates of average burden hours are made solely for the
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and are not derived from a
comprehensive or even representative survey or study of the cost of
Commission rules and forms.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the agency, including whether the information will
have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432
General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312; or send an e-mail to: PRA_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

Deputy Secretary.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  PHMSA has received a special permit request
from Gulfstream Natural Resources, LLC, to deviate from the federal
pipeline safety regulations in 49 CFR 192.619(a) and 192.195(a) on the
Gulfstream Natural Gas System (Gulfstream Pipeline). The proposed
special permit, if granted, would allow an increase in the maximum
allowable operating pressure (MAOP) from 2,180 pounds per square inch
gauge (psig) to 2,296 psig from Gulfstream Pipeline Mile Post 3.9 to
Mile Post 59 and the use of pressure gradient for pressure control to
maintain a MAOP of 2,180 psig downstream of Mile Post 59. The
Gulfstream Pipeline segment, where the proposed special permit would be
applicable, is from Mile Post 3.9 in Mobile County, Alabama to the
Gulfstream Pipeline west subsea tie-in valves located at Mile Post 59
in the Gulf of Mexico, Outer Continental Shelf.
    Gulfstream Pipeline is proposing a gas transmission flow volume
increase of 78,000 dekatherms per day. A Gulfstream Pipeline MAOP
increase from 2,180 psig to 2,296 psig will be required from Mile Post
0.0 to Mile Post 59. The Gulfstream 36-inch diameter piping, valves,
and components from Mile Post 0.0 to Mile Post 3.9 will be replaced and
pressure tested, where required, to meet part 192 regulations for a
2,296 psig MAOP.
    The Gulfstream Pipeline is a 36-inch diameter pipeline that spans
approximately 427 miles from southern Alabama, across the bottom of the
Gulf of Mexico, to the Tampa Bay, Florida region. The Gulfstream
Pipeline begins at Compressor Station 410, an existing natural gas
compressor station located in Mobile County near Coden, Alabama,
travels offshore into the Gulf of Mexico, and ends at Compressor
Station 420 located in Manatee County near Bartow, Florida.

    A draft environmental assessment (DEA) accompanied the special
permit request. The DEA is available at https://www.Regulations.gov, in
Docket Number PHMSA-2018-0105. We invite interested persons to
participate by reviewing the special permit request and DEA at https://www.Regulations.gov, and by submitting written comments, data, or other
views. Please include any comments on potential safety and
environmental impacts that may result if the special permit is granted.
    Before issuing a decision on the special permit request, PHMSA will
evaluate all comments received on or before the comment closing date.
Comments received after the closing date will be evaluated if it is
possible to do so without incurring additional expense or delay. PHMSA
will consider each relevant comment we receive in making our decision
to grant or deny the request.

    Issued in Washington, DC on July 8, 2019, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.

    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate 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;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.

    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    6. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    7. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to?

    Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0707.
    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
the state government agencies or departments responsible for oversight
and operation of the I/M programs (SIC91). Thirty-three states
plus the District of Columbia will be affected by I/M program
requirements.
    Title: Data Reporting Requirements for State and Local Vehicle
Emission Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) Programs.
    ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1613.03, OMB Control No. 2060-0252.
    ICR status: This ICR is scheduled to expire February 28, 2009. An
Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: To provide general oversight and support to state and
local I/M programs, the Transportation and Regional Programs Division
(TRPD), Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air and
Radiation, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, requires that state or
local program management for both basic and enhanced I/M programs
collect two varieties of reports to EPA. The first reporting
requirement is the submittal of an annual report providing general
program operating data and summary statistics, addressing the program's
current design and coverage, a summary of testing data, enforcement
program efforts, quality assurance and quality control efforts, and
other miscellaneous information allowing for an assessment of the
program's relative effectiveness; the second is a biennial report on
any changes to the program over the two-year period and the impact of
such changes, including any weaknesses discovered and corrections made
or planned.
    General program effectiveness is determined by the degree to which
a program misses, meets, or exceeds the emission reductions committed
to in the state's approved SIP, which, in turn, must meet or exceed the
minimum emission reductions expected from the relevant performance
standard, as promulgated under EPA's revisions to 40 CFR, Part 51, in
response to requirements established in section 182 of the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990 (Act). This information will be used by EPA to
determine a program's progress toward meeting requirements under 40
CFR, Part 51, as well as to assess national trends in the area of basic
and enhanced I/M programs and to provide background information in
support of periodic site visits and evaluations.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 85
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 34.
    Frequency of response: Annual and Biennial.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 85 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $4,478.

Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval?

    There is no change in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.

What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3521), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA'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 respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques, when appropriate, and other
forms of information technology.

Allegations of Regulatory Misconduct Voluntarily Submitted to the
Center for Devices and Radiological Health

OMB Control Number 0910-0769--Extension

    This information collection supports the voluntary submission of
allegations of regulatory misconduct to CDRH. An allegation of
regulatory misconduct is a claim that a medical device manufacturer or
individuals marketing medical devices or electronic products regulated
by CDRH may be doing so in a manner that violates the law. Reporting
these allegations can help make FDA aware of regulatory concerns it may
not learn of otherwise. This information can help FDA identify the
potential risks to patients and determine whether further investigation
is warranted, as well as any steps needed to address or correct a
potential violation. Anyone may file a complaint reporting an
allegation of regulatory misconduct. FDA encourages people submitting
allegations to include supporting information and contact information
in case additional information is needed for FDA to understand the
allegation and act on the report; however, you can choose to submit a
report anonymously. FDA will not share your identity or contact
information with anyone outside FDA unless required to do so by law,
regulation, or court order.
    Allegations of regulatory misconduct may include failure to
register and list a medical device, marketing uncleared or unapproved
products, failure to follow quality system requirements, or misleading
promotion.
    You can submit an allegation through the Allegations of Regulatory
Misconduct Form (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/reporting-allegations-regulatory-misconduct/allegations-regulatory-misconduct-form), by email, or by regular mail.
    Allegations of regulatory misconduct related to medical devices and
electronic products are reviewed by CDRH. CDRH prioritizes the review
of allegations based on the level of potential risks, within the
context of an overall benefit-risk profile, to patients. There are
different processes based on the type of allegation and the
completeness of the information submitted. The general steps CDRH takes
after receiving an allegation of regulatory misconduct and some
examples of the kind of allegations FDA has received are provided on
our website (https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/medical-device-safety/reporting-allegations-regulatory-misconduct).
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

[Docket Number USCG-2017-0571]

RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulation; Choptank River, Cambridge, MD

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing special local regulations for

certain waters of the Choptank River. This action is necessary to

provide for the safety of life on these navigable waters located in

Cambridge, MD, during a high-speed power boat racing event scheduled

from August 19, 2017 through August 20, 2017. This rulemaking prohibits

persons and vessels from being in the regulated area unless authorized

by the Captain of the Port Maryland-National Capital Region or Coast

Guard Patrol Commander.

DATES: This rule is effective from 8:30 a.m. on August 19, 2017, until

5:30 p.m. on August 20, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

CFR Code of Federal Regulations

COTP Captain of the Port

DHS Department of Homeland Security

FR Federal Register

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking

Sec.  Section

U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    On May 17, 2017, The Kent Narrows Racing Association of Chester, MD

notified the Coast Guard that it will be conducting power boat races

from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. on August 19, 2017 and August 20, 2017. The

high-speed power boat racing event consists of approximately 60

participants competing on a designated 1-mile oval course in the

Choptank River in a cove located between Hambrooks Bar and the

shoreline at Cambridge, MD. In response, on July 10, 2017, the Coast

Guard published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled ``Special

Local Regulation; Choptank River, Cambridge, MD'' in the Federal

Register (82 FR 31733). There we stated why we issued the NPRM, and

invited comments on our proposed regulatory action related to this

paddle race. During the comment period that ended August 9, 2017, we

received no comments. No public meeting was requested, and none was

held.

    We are issuing this rule, and under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast

Guard finds that good cause exists for making it effective less than 30

days after publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective

date of this rule would be contrary to public interest because

immediate action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards

associated with a power boat racing event. Hazards from the power boat

racing event include participants operating within and adjacent to

designated navigation channels and interfering with vessels intending

to operate within those channels, as well as operating within

approaches to local public and private marinas and other facilities.

Additionally, the public has been notified of the event by the event

sponsor via local media.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.

1233, which authorizes the Coast Guard to establish and define special

local regulations. The COTP Maryland-National Capital Region has

determined that potential hazards associated with the power boat racing

would be a safety concern for anyone intending to operate within

certain waters of the Choptank River in Cambridge, MD. The purpose of

this rulemaking is to protect event participants, spectators and

transiting vessels on certain waters of the Choptank River before,

during, and after the scheduled event.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a special local regulation, which will be

enforced from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on August 19, 2017, and from

8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on August 20, 2017. The regulated area covers

all navigable waters within Hambrooks Bay and Choptank River west and

south of a line commencing at the shoreline, at latitude 38[deg]35'00''

N., longitude 076[deg]04'43'' W., thence east to latitude

38[deg]35'00'' N., longitude 076[deg]04'23.7'' W., thence north to

latitude 38[deg]35'22.7'' N., longitude 076[deg]04'23.7'' W., thence

northwest to latitude 38[deg]35'42.2'' N., longitude 076[deg]04'51.1''

W., at Hambrooks Bar Light LLNR 24995, thence southwest to latitude

38[deg]35'34.2'' N., longitude 076[deg]05'12.3'' W., terminating at the

Hambrooks Bay breakwall as it intersects the shoreline. This rule

provides additional information about areas within the regulated area,

their definitions, and the restrictions that apply to mariners. These

areas include ``Race Area,'' ``Buffer Zone'' and ``Spectator Area''.

    The duration of the regulated area is intended to ensure the safety

of vessels and these navigable waters before, during, and after the

power boat racing event, scheduled to occur during August 19-20, 2017.

Except for participants, no vessel or person will be permitted to enter

the regulated area without obtaining permission from the COTP Maryland-

National Capital Region or Coast Guard Patrol Commander. The regulatory

text appears at the end of this document.

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. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control

regulatory costs through a budgeting process. 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), and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt

from the requirements of Executive Order 13771.

    This regulatory action determination is based on the size and

enforcement duration of the regulated area, which will impact a small

designated area of the Choptank River for 18 hours. The Coast Guard

will issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via VHF-FM marine channel 16

about the status of the regulated area. Moreover, the rule allows

vessels to seek permission to enter the regulated area, and vessel

traffic will be able to safely transit the regulated area once the

Coast Guard Patrol Commander deems it safe to do so.

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 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

regulated area 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

contact 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. If

you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,

please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section above.

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

Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 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 implementation of regulations within 33

CFR part 100 applicable to organized marine events on the navigable

waters of the United States that could negatively impact the safety of

waterway users and shore side activities in the event area lasting for

a total of 18 hours (enforcement period). It is categorically excluded

from further review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the

Commandant Instruction. A Record of Environmental Consideration (REC)

is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any

comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant

environmental impact from this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.

Protesters are asked to contact 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.

    (c) Special local regulations. (1) The Captain of the Port

Maryland-National Capital Region or the Coast Guard Patrol Commander

may forbid and control the movement of all vessels and persons,

including event participants, in the regulated area. When hailed or

signaled by an official patrol, a vessel or person in the regulated

area shall immediately comply with the directions given. Failure to do

so may result in expulsion from the area, citation for failure to

comply, or both.

    (2) The operator of any vessel in the regulated area shall:

    (i) Stop the vessel immediately when directed to do so by any

Official Patrol and then proceed only as directed.

    (ii) All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of

the Official Patrol.

    (iii) When authorized to transit the regulated area, all vessels

shall proceed at the minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course

that minimizes wake near the race course.

    (3) The Coast Guard Patrol Commander may terminate the event, or

the operation of any participant, at any time it is deemed necessary

for the protection of life or property.

    (4) The Race Area is an area described by a line bounded by

Background

    The U.S. Secretary of Transportation announced on March 7, 2006,
the five medical experts who serve on FMCSA's Medical Review Board
(MRB). Section 4116 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU, Pub. L. 109-
59) requires the Secretary of Transportation with the advice of the MRB
to ``establish, review, and revise medical standards for operators of
Commercial Motor Vehicles (CMVs) that will ensure that the physical
condition of operators is adequate to enable them to operate the
vehicles safely.'' FMCSA is planning updates to the physical
qualification regulations of CMV drivers, and the MRB will provide the
necessary science-based guidance to establish realistic and responsible
medical standards.
    The MRB operates in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee
Act (FACA) as announced in the Federal Register (70 FR 57642, October
3, 2005). The MRB is charged initially with the review of all current
FMCSA medical standards (49 CFR 391.41), as well as proposing new
science-based standards and guidelines to ensure that drivers operating
CMVs in interstate commerce, as defined in CFR 390.5, are physically
capable of doing so.

Meeting Participation

    Attendance is open to the interested public, including medical
examiners, motor carriers, drivers, and representatives of medical and
scientific associations. Written comments for this MRB meeting will
also be accepted beginning on March 14, 2008. and continuing until
April 21, 2008, and should include the docket ID that is listed in the
ADDRESSES section.
    During the MRB meeting, oral comments may be limited depending on
how many persons wish to comment; and will be accepted on a first come,
first serve basis as requestors register at the meeting. The comments
must directly address relevant medical and scientific issues on the MRB
meeting agenda. For more information, please view the following Web
site: http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/mrb.

    Issued on: March 7, 2008.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-8726-6]

California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards;
California Nonroad Compression Ignition Engines--In-Use Fleets;
Authorization Request; Opportunity for Public Hearing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of Opportunity for Public Hearing and Comment.

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

SUMMARY: The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has notified EPA
that it has adopted emission standards for fleets that operate nonroad,
diesel fueled equipment with engines 25 horsepower (hp) and greater. By
letter dated August 12, 2008, CARB submitted a request seeking EPA
authorization, pursuant to section 209(e) of the Clean Air Act (CAA),
42 U.S.C. 7543(e), of its regulation requiring such fleets to meet
fleet average emissions standards for oxides of nitrogen and
particulate matter, or, alternatively, to comply with best available
control technology requirements for the vehicles in those fleets. This
notice announces that EPA has tentatively scheduled a public hearing
concerning California's request and that EPA is accepting written
comment on the request.

DATES: EPA has tentatively scheduled a public hearing concerning CARB's
request on October 27, 2008, beginning at 10 a.m. EPA will hold a
hearing only if a party notifies EPA by October 20, 2007 expressing its
interest in presenting oral testimony. If EPA does not receive a
request for a public hearing, then EPA will not hold a hearing, and,
instead, consider CARB's request based on written submissions to the
docket. Any party may submit written comments by November 28, 2008.

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Background and Discussion: Section 209(e)(1) of the Act addresses
the permanent preemption of any State, or political subdivision
thereof, from adopting or attempting to enforce any standard or other
requirement relating to the control of emissions for certain new
nonroad engines or vehicles. Section 209(e)(2) of the Act requires the
Administrator to grant California authorization to enforce state
standards for new nonroad engines or vehicles which are not listed
under section 209(e)(1), subject to certain restrictions. On July 20,
1994, EPA promulgated a regulation that sets forth, among other things,
the criteria, as found in section 209(e)(2), by which EPA must consider
any California authorization requests for new nonroad engines or
vehicle emission standards (section 209(e) rules).\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 209(e)(1) states, in part: No State or any political
subdivision thereof shall adopt or attempt to enforce any standard
or other requirement relating to the control of emissions from
either of the following new nonroad engines or nonroad vehicles
subject to regulation under this Act--
    (A) New engines which are used in construction equipment or
vehicles or used in farm equipment or vehicles and which are smaller
than 175 horsepower.
    (B) New locomotives or new engines used in locomotives.
    EPA's regulation was published at 59 FR 36969 (July 20, 1994),
and regulations set forth therein, 40 CFR Part 85, Subpart Q,
Sec. Sec.  85.1601 et seq. A new rule, signed on September 4, 2008,
moves these provisions to 40 CFR Part 1074.

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

    Section 209(e)(2) requires the Administrator, after notice and
opportunity for public hearing, to authorize California to enforce
standards and other requirements relating to emissions control of new
engines not listed under section 209(e)(1). The section 209(e) rule and
its codified regulations \2\ formally set forth the criteria, located
in section 209(e)(2) of the Act, by which EPA must grant California
authorization to enforce its new nonroad emission standards and they
are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ See 40 CFR Part 85, Subpart Q, Sec.  85.1605. Upon
effectiveness of the new rule, these criteria will be codified at 40
CFR 1074.105.

    (a) The Administrator shall grant the authorization if
California determines that California standards will be, in the
aggregate, at least as protective of public health and welfare as
applicable Federal standards.
    (b) The authorization shall not be granted if the Administrator
finds that:
    (1) The determination of California is arbitrary and capricious;
    (2) California does not need such California standards to meet
compelling and extraordinary conditions; or
    (3) California standards and accompanying enforcement procedures
are not consistent with section 209.

    As stated in the preamble to the section 209(e) rule, EPA has
interpreted the requirement ``California standards and accompanying
enforcement procedures are not consistent with section 209'' to mean
that California standards and accompanying enforcement procedures must
be consistent with section 209(a), section 209(e)(1), and section
209(b)(1)(C), as EPA has interpreted that subsection in the context of
motor vehicle waivers.\3\ In order to be consistent with section
209(a), California's nonroad standards and enforcement procedures must
not apply to new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines. Secondly,
California's nonroad standards and enforcement procedures must be
consistent with section 209(e)(1), which identifies the categories
permanently preempted from state regulation.\4\ California's nonroad
standards and enforcement procedures would be considered inconsistent
with section 209 if they applied to the categories of engines or
vehicles identified and preempted from State regulation in section
209(e)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See 59 FR 36969, 36983 (July 20, 1994).
    \4\ Section 209(e)(1) of the Act has been codified at 40 CFR
Part 85, Subpart Q Sec. Sec.  85.1602, 85.1603. Upon effectiveness
of the new rule noted above, these permanently preempted categories
will be codified at 40 CFR 1074.10, 1074.12.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, because California's nonroad standards and enforcement
procedures must be consistent with section 209(b)(1)(C), EPA reviews
nonroad authorization requests under the same ``consistency'' criteria
that are applied to motor vehicle waiver requests. Under section
209(b)(1)(C), the Administrator shall not grant California a motor
vehicle waiver if he finds that California ``standards and accompanying
enforcement procedures are not consistent with section 202(a)'' of the
Act. Previous decisions granting waivers of Federal preemption for
motor vehicles have stated that State standards are inconsistent with
section 202(a) if there is inadequate lead time to permit the
development of the necessary technology giving appropriate
consideration to the cost of compliance within that time period or if
the Federal and State test procedures impose inconsistent certification
procedures.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ To be consistent, the California certification procedures
need not be identical to the Federal certification procedures.
California procedures would be inconsistent, however, if
manufacturers would be unable to meet both the state and the Federal
requirement with the same test vehicle in the course of the same
test. See, e.g., 43 FR 32182 (July 25, 1978).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    CARB has submitted to EPA its In-Use Off-Road Diesel-Fueled Fleets
regulation adopted at its July 26, 2007 public hearing (by Resolution
07-19) and subsequently modified after supplemental public comment by
CARB's Executive Officer by the In-Use Regulation in Executive Order R-
08-002 on April 4, 2008 (these regulations are codified at title 13,
California Code of Regulations sections 2449 through 2449.3). CARB's
regulations require fleets that operate nonroad, diesel-fueled
equipment with engines 25 hp and greater to meet fleet average emission
standards for oxides of nitrogen and particulate matter. Alternatively,
the regulations require the vehicles in those fleets to comply with
best available control technology requirements. Compliance for the
largest fleets (fleets with a total maximum power greater than 5000 hp)
is required beginning March 1, 2010, for medium-sized fleets (greater
than 2500 hp through 5000 hp) beginning March 1, 2013, and for small
fleets (up to 2500 hp) beginning March 1, 2015.
    Please provide comment whether (a) CARB's determination that its
standards, in the aggregate, are at least as protective of public
health and welfare as applicable federal standards is arbitrary and
capricious, (b) California needs separate standards to meet compelling
and extraordinary conditions, and (c) California's standards and
accompanying enforcement procedures are consistent with section 209 of
the Act.

Procedures for Public Participation

    In recognition that public hearings are designed to give interested
parties an opportunity to participate in this proceeding, there are not
adverse parties as such. Statements by participants will not be subject
to cross-examination by other participants without special approval by
the presiding officer. The presiding officer is authorized to strike
from the record statements that he or she deems irrelevant or
repetitious and to impose reasonable time limits on the duration of the
statement of any participant.
    If a hearing is held, the Agency will make a verbatim record of the
proceedings. Interested parties may arrange with the reporter at the
hearing to obtain a copy of the transcript at their own expense.
Regardless of whether a public hearing is held, EPA will keep the
record open until November 28, 2008. Following the expiration of the
comment period, the Administrator will render a decision on CARB's
request based on the record of the public hearing, if any, relevant
written submissions, and other information that he deems pertinent.
    Persons with comments containing proprietary information must
distinguish such information from other comments to the great possible
extent and label it as Confidential Business Information (CBI). If a
person making comments wants EPA to base its decision in part on a
submission labeled CBI, then a non-confidential version of the document
that summarizes the key data or information should be submitted for the
public docket. To ensure that proprietary information is not
inadvertently placed in the docket, submissions containing such
information should be sent directly to the contact person listed above
and not to the pubic docket. Information covered by a claim of
confidentiality will be disclosed by EPA only to the extent allowed and
by the procedures set forth in 40 CFR Part 2. If no claim of
confidentiality accompanies the submission when EPA receives it, EPA
will make it available to the public without further notice to the
person making comments.
