Coast Guard

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2018-0504]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Lake Michigan, North Avenue Beach, Chicago, IL

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone on
Lake Michigan near North Avenue Beach in Chicago, IL. This temporary
safety zone is necessary to protect spectators, participants, and
vessels from potential hazards associated with a jetpack demonstration.
Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety zone is
prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan
or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 5 p.m. on July 19, 2018 through
12:50 p.m. on July 20, 2018.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2018-0504 in the ``SEARCH'' box and click ``SEARCH.'' Click on Open
Docket Folder on the line associated with this rule.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions about this rule,
call or email LT John Ramos, Marine Safety Unit Chicago, U.S. Coast
Guard; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>, or email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
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

    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. The
Coast Guard did not receive the final details of this jetpack
demonstration in time to publish an NPRM. As such, it is impracticable
to publish an NPRM because we lack sufficient time to provide a
reasonable comment period and then consider those comments before
issuing the rule.
    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 inhibit the Coast Guard's ability to protect
participants, mariners and vessels from the hazards associated with
this event.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. A jetpack demonstration will be conducted at North Avenue Beach
in Chicago, IL on July 19 from 5 p.m. through 6:15 p.m. on July 19,
2018; with a rain date of July 20, 2018 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:50 p.m.
The COTP has determined that the potential hazards associated with the
jetpack demonstration pose a significant risk to public safety and
property. Specifically, hazards include potential for collision with
spectators, fires and/or explosions from mechanical malfunctions. This
rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in the navigable waters within the safety zone while the
jetpack demonstration takes place.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone from 5 p.m. through 6:15 p.m.
on July 19, 2018; with a rain date of July 20, 2018 from 11:45 a.m.
through 12:50 p.m. The safety zone will encompass all navigable waters
of Lake Michigan near North Avenue Beach, bounded by a line drawn from
the shore at 41[deg]55.008 N, 087[deg]37.564 W, then northeast to
41[deg]55.068 N, 087[deg]37.480 W, then southeast to 41[deg]54.899 N,
087[deg]37.151 W, then southwest back to the shore at 41[deg]54.826 N,
087[deg]37.214 W. The duration of the zone is intended to protect
personnel and vessels in these navigable waters during the jet pack
demonstration. Entry into, transiting, or anchoring within the safety
zone is prohibited unless authorized by the Captain of the Port Lake
Michigan, or a designated on-scene representative. The Captain of the
Port or a designated on-scene representative may be contacted via VHF
Channel 16 or at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

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.
    We conclude that this rule is not a significant regulatory action
because we anticipate that it will have minimal impact on the economy,
will not interfere with other agencies, will not adversely alter the
budget of any grant or loan recipients, and will not raise any novel
legal or policy issues. The safety zone created by this rule will be
relatively small and enforced on one day from 5 p.m. through 6:15 p.m.
on July 19, 2018; with a rain date of July 20, 2018 from 11:45 a.m.
through 12:50 p.m. Under certain conditions, moreover, vessels may
still transit through the safety zone when permitted by the Captain of
the Port Lake Michigan.

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.
    This safety zone will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the reasons cited in the
Regulatory Planning and Review section. Additionally, before the
enforcement of the zone, we will issue local Broadcast Notice to
Mariners and Local Notice to Mariners so vessel owners and operators
can plan accordingly.
    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
Directive 023-01, which guides 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 establishment of a safety zone on
Lake Michigan near North Avenue Beach in Chicago, IL that will last
between one and two hours and will prohibit entry into a designated
area. 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. 01. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this
determination is available in the docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES.

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.

enter or operate in the safety zone must comply with all directions
given to them by the Captain of the Port Lake Michigan, or an on-scene
representative.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-267, OMB Control No. 3235-0272]

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

Extension:
    Rule 11a-2

    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'') has submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget a request for extension of the previously
approved collection of information discussed below.
    Rule 11a-2 (17 CFR 270.11a-2) under the Investment Company Act of
1940 (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) permits certain registered insurance
company separate accounts, subject to certain conditions, to make
exchange offers without prior approval by the Commission of the terms
of those offers. Rule 11a-2 requires disclosure, in certain
registration statements filed pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933
(15 U.S.C. 77a et seq.) of any administrative fee or sales load imposed
in connection with an exchange offer.
    There are currently 673 registrants governed by Rule 11a-2. The

Commission includes the estimated burden of complying with the
information collection required by Rule 11a-2 in the total number of
burden hours estimated for completing the relevant registration
statements and reports the burden of Rule 11a-2 in the separate
Paperwork Reduction Act (``PRA'') submissions for those registration
statements (see the separate PRA submissions for Form N-3 (17 CFR
274.11b), Form N-4 (17 CFR 274.11c) and Form N-6 (17 CFR 274.11d). The
Commission is requesting a burden of one hour for Rule 11a-2 for
administrative purposes.
    The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for the
purposes of the PRA, and is not derived from a comprehensive or even a
representative survey or study of the costs of Commission rules or
forms. With regard to Rule 11a-2, the Commission includes the estimate
of burden hours in the total number of burden hours estimated for
completing the relevant registration statements and reported on the
separate PRA submissions for those statements (see the separate PRA
submissions for Form N-3, Form N-4 and Form N-6).
    The information collection requirements imposed by Rule 11a-2 are
mandatory. Responses to the collection of information will not be kept
confidential. 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 control number.
    The public may view the background documentation for this
information collection at the following website, www.reginfo.gov.
Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an email to:

Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi

to: [email protected]. Comments must be submitted to OMB within 30
days of this notice.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP21-2-000]

Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.; Notice of Schedule for
the Preparation of an Environmental Assessment for the Lines DT and DS
Replacement Project Amendment

    On October 2, 2020, Southern Star Central Gas Pipeline, Inc.
(Southern Star) filed an application in Docket No. CP21-2-000
requesting an amendment to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's
(Commission or FERC) authorization pursuant to Section 7(b) of the
Natural Gas Act issued on December 19, 2019, in Docket No. CP19-31-000.
The proposed project is known as the Lines DT and DS Replacement
Project Amendment (Project). The purpose of this Project is to modify
the previous authorization (CP19-31-000) to grant Southern Star's
proposed abandonment of certain natural gas pipeline facilities in-
place rather than by removal, as previously proposed.
    On October 7, 2020, the Commission issued its Notice of Application
for the Project. Among other things, that notice alerted agencies
issuing federal authorizations of the requirement to complete all
necessary reviews and to reach a final decision on a request for a
federal authorization within 90 days of the date of issuance of the
Commission staff's environmental document for the Project.
    This notice identifies Commission staff's intention to prepare an
environmental assessment (EA) for the Project and the planned schedule
for the completion of the environmental review.\1\

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of EA: December 28, 2020
90-day Federal Authorization Decision Deadline: March 28, 2021

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, additional notice will be
provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
Project's progress.

Project Description

    The Project would involve the abandonment in-place of the 31.8-
mile-long, 26-inch-diameter Line DT and the 31.4-mile-long, 20-inch-
diameter Line DS, rather than abandonment by removal, which was
authorized in Docket No. CP19-31-000. The Project is located in
Anderson and Franklin Counties, Kansas.

Background

    On October 27, 2020, the Commission issued a Notice of Scoping
Period Requesting Comments on Environmental Issues for the Proposed
Lines DT and DS Replacement Project Amendment and Notice of Public
Scoping Session. The Notice of Scoping was sent to affected landowners;
federal, state, and local government agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. In response to
the Notice of Scoping, the Commission received a comment from a
landowner who requested that Southern Star abandon the pipeline by
removal on his land, as originally proposed. All substantive comments
will be addressed in the EA.

33 CFR Part 100

[Docket No. USCG-2013-0081]
RIN 1625-AA08

Special Local Regulations; Charleston Race Week, Charleston
Harbor; Charleston, SC

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a special local regulation on
the waters of Charleston Harbor in Charleston, South Carolina during
Charleston Race Week, a series of sailboat races. From Thursday, April
18, 2013, until Sunday, April 21, 2013, approximately 300 sailboats are
anticipated to participate in these races, and approximately 15
spectator vessels are expected to watch the event. A special local
regulation is necessary to provide for the safety of life on the
navigable waters of the United States during the races. This special
local regulation consists of three race areas. Except for those persons
and vessels participating in the sailboat races, persons and vessels
are prohibited from entering, transiting through, anchoring in, or
remaining within any of the race areas unless authorized by the Captain
of the Port Charleston or a designated representative.

DATES: This rule is effective from 7:30 a.m. on April 18, 2013, until 5
p.m. on April 21, 2013. This rule will be enforced daily from 7:30 a.m.
until 5:30

p.m. on April 18, 2013, through April 21, 2013.

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory Information

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final 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. The
Coast Guard did not receive necessary information about the event until
February 11, 2013. As a result, the Coast Guard did not have sufficient
time to publish an NPRM and to receive public comments prior to the
event. Immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the
race participants, participant vessels, spectators and the general
public.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), for the same reasons mentioned above, the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists for making this rule effective
less than 30 days after publication in the Federal Register because
immediate action is needed to minimize potential danger to the race
participants, participant vessels, spectators and the general public.

B. Basis and Purpose

    From April 18, 2013, until April 21, 2013, Charleston Ocean Racing
Association will host three sailboat races on Charleston Harbor in
Charleston, South Carolina during Charleston Race Week. Approximately
300 sailboats will be participating in the three races. It is
anticipated that at least 15 spectator vessels will be present during
the races.
    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish special local regulations: 33 U.S.C. 1233. The purpose of the
rule is to ensure safety of life on navigable waters of the United
States during three Charleston Race Week sailboat races.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The rule establishes a special local regulation on certain waters
of Charleston Harbor in Charleston, South Carolina. The special local
regulation will be enforced daily from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m. on
April 18, 2013, through April 21, 2013. The special local regulation
consists of the following three race areas.
    1. Race Area #1. All waters encompassed within an 800 yard radius
of position 32[deg]46'39'' N, 79[deg]55'10'' W.
    2. Race Area #2. All waters encompassed within a 900 yard radius of
position 32[deg]45'48'' N, 79[deg]54'46'' W.
    3. Race Area #3. All waters encompassed within a 900 yard radius of
position 32[deg]45'44'' N, 79[deg]53'32'' W.
    Except for those persons and vessels participating in the sailboat
races, persons and vessels are prohibited from entering, transiting
through, anchoring in, or remaining within any of the race areas unless
specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a
designated representative. Persons and vessels desiring to enter,
transit through, anchor in, or remain within any of the race areas may
contact the Captain of the Port Charleston by telephone at (843) 740-
7050, or a designated representative via VHF radio on channel 16, to
request authorization. If authorization to enter, transit through,
anchor in, or remain within the race areas is granted by the Captain of
the Port Charleston or a designated representative, all persons and
vessels receiving such authorization must comply with the instructions
of the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated representative.
The Coast Guard will provide notice of the regulated areas by Local
Notice to Mariners, Broadcast Notice to Mariners, and on-scene
designated representatives.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders.
    The economic impact of this rule is not significant for the
following reasons: (1) Although persons and vessels will not be able to
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated areas
without authorization from the Captain of the Port Charleston or a
designated representative, they may operate in the surrounding area
during the enforcement periods; (2) persons and vessels may still
enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the regulated areas
if authorized by the Captain of the Port Charleston or a designated
representative; and (3) the Coast Guard will provide advance
notification of the special local regulation to the local maritime
community by Local Notice to Mariners and Broadcast Notice to Mariners.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 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. This rule may affect the following entities, some of
which may be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels
intending to enter, transit through, anchor in, or remain within the

waters of Charleston Harbor encompassed within the three regulated
areas between 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., from April 18, 2013, until April
21, 2013. For the reasons discussed in the Regulatory Planning and
Review section above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    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,
above.
    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.

4. 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).

5. Federalism

    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 determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. 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.

7. 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.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. 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 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have concluded
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 special local regulation issued in conjunction with a
regatta or marine parade. This rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2-1, paragraph (34)(h), of the Commandant Instruction. We seek
any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a
significant.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice; Receipt of Noise Compatibility Program
and Request for Review; Kansas City International Airport, Kansas City,
MO

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the noise exposure maps submitted by the Kansas City
Aviation Department for the Kansas City International Airport under the
provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et seq. (Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act, herein after referred to as ``the Act'') and 14 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 150 (hereinafter referred to as ``Part
150'') are in compliance with applicable requirements. The FAA also
announces that it is reviewing a proposed noise compatibility program
that was submitted for the Kansas City International Airport under Part
150 in conjunction with the noise exposure map, and that this program
will be approved or disapproved on or before September 16, 2009.

DATES: The effective date of the FAA's determination on the noise
exposure maps and of the start of its review of the associated noise
compatibility program is March 20, 2009. The public comment period ends
May 19, 2009.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: FAA, Todd Madison, ACE-61 1 F, 901
Locust, Room 335, Kansas City, Missouri 64106-2325,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>816-329-2640. Comments on the proposed noise
compatibility program should also be submitted to the above office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces the FAA finds that the
noise exposure maps submitted for the Kansas City International Airport
are in compliance with applicable requirements of Part 150, effective
March 20, 2009. Further, FAA is reviewing a proposed noise
compatibility program for that airport which will be approved or
disapproved on or before September 16, 2009. This notice also announces
the availability of this program for public review and comment.
    Under 49 U.S.C., section 47503 of the Act, an airport operator may
submit to the FAA noise exposure maps which meet applicable regulations
and which depict non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission
of such maps, a description of projected aircraft operations, and the
ways in which such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires
such maps to be developed in consultation with interested and affected
parties in the local community, government agencies, and persons using
the airport.
    An airport operator who has submitted noise exposure maps that are
found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 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 take to reduce existing non-compatible uses and
prevent the introduction of additional non-compatible uses.
    The Kansas City Aviation Department submitted to the FAA on March
6, 2009, noise exposure maps, descriptions and other documentation that
were produced during the ``2008 Update to 14 CFR Part 150 Noise
Exposure Maps and

Noise Compatibility Program.'' It was requested that the FAA review
this material as the noise exposure maps, as described in section 47503
of the Act, 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.
    The FAA has completed its review of the noise exposure maps and
related descriptions submitted by the Kansas City Aviation Department.
The specific documentation determined to constitute the noise exposure
maps includes: Current Noise Exposure Map (2008) as shown on Exhibit
NEM-1, Future Noise Exposure Map/Noise Compatibility Program Map (2013)
as shown on Exhibit NEM-2, and the associated supporting report, ``2008
Update to 14 CFR Part 150 Noise Exposure Maps and Noise Compatibility
Program'', which contains all other narrative, graphic, or tabular
representations of the data as required by section Al 50.101 of Part
150, and sections 47503 and 47506 of the Act. The FAA has determined
that these maps for the Kansas City International Airport are in
compliance with applicable requirements. This determination is
effective on March 20, 2009. FAA's determination on an airport
operator's noise exposure maps is limited to a finding that the maps
were developed in accordance with the procedures contained in appendix
A of FAR part 150. Such determination does not constitute approval of
the applicant's data, information or plans, or constitute a commitment
to approve a noise compatibility program or to fund the implementation
of that program.
    If questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a noise exposure map
submitted under section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise contours, or in
interpreting the noise exposure maps to resolve questions concerning,
for example, which properties should be covered by the provisions of
section 47506 of the Act. These functions are inseparable from the
ultimate land use control and planning responsibilities of local
government. These local responsibilities are not changed in any way
under Part 150 or through FAA's review of noise exposure maps.
Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed overlaying of noise
exposure contours onto the map depicting properties on the surface
rests exclusively with the airport operator that submitted those maps,
or with those public agencies and planning agencies with which
consultation is required under section 47503 of the Act. The FAA has
relied on the certification by the airport operator, under section
150.21 of Part 150, that the statutorily required consultation has been
accomplished.
    The FAA has formally received the noise compatibility program for
the Kansas City International Airport, also effective on March 20,
2009. Preliminary review of the submitted material indicates that it
conforms to the 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 September 16,
2009.
    The FAA's detailed evaluation will be conducted under the
provisions of section 150.33 of Part 150. The primary considerations in
the evaluation process are whether the proposed measures may reduce the
level of aviation safety, create an undue burden on interstate or
foreign commerce, or be 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 relevant comments, 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, the FAA's evaluation of the maps, and the proposed noise
compatibility program are available for examination at the following
locations:
    Federal Aviation Administration, Central Region Airports Division,
Room 335, 901 Locust, Kansas City, Missouri 64106-2325, from 7:30 a.m.

A.  BACKGROUND

Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC) has identified large stationary combustion turbines (“CTs”)
as significant contributors to the release of nitrogen oxides (NOx),
which is a precursor to the formation of ground-level ozone.  Ozone
poses a significant threat to human health especially to the young, the
elderly or anyone with impaired ability to breathe, as ozone harms the
lungs.

CTs normally operate at peak times for the demand for electricity.  In
Delaware, peak times are in the summer and coincide with hot and humid
weather conditions that are conducive to the formation of ozone.  By
reducing NOx emissions from CTs during the ozone season, the likelihood
that Delaware’s air quality will exceed the federal standards for
ozone is reduced.  This regulation will affect six existing CTs in
Delaware, each with an installed capacity of 1 megawatt, none of which
currently operate with any NOx pollution control equipment.

These six CTs emitted 2.21 tons of NOx per day in 2002, which is the
most recent year for Delaware’s emissions inventory.  DNREC has
determined that use of water injection technology would reduce NOx
emissions by approximately 40 percent, or by 0.88 tons per day.  Water
injection reduces the combustion temperature and consequently reduces
NOx emissions.

On October 6, 2005, DNREC opened the proposed rulemaking proceeding in
Start Action Notice 2005-10 to regulate and reduce the air emission of
NOx from certain CTs used for electric generation.  DNREC published the
proposed regulation, “Control of Stationary Turbine Electric
Generating Unit Emissions,” on April 1, 2007 in the Delaware Register
of Regulations and held a public hearing on April 26, 2007.  The public
comment period for participants at the public hearing was extended until
May 9, 2007.  The Hearing Officer’s Report, dated June 15, 2007
responds to the comments received.  Minor changes to the proposed
regulatory language were made in response to comments received.

Secretary’s Order No. 2007-A-0023, dated June 19, 2007, approves Final
Regulation, 7 DE Admin. Code 1148, “Control of Stationary Combustion
Turbine Electric Generating Unit Emissions” in Delaware.  The
effective date is July 11, 2007.

B.  EPA REQUIREMENTS

	Delaware is part of the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City ozone
nonattainment area and it must take regulatory actions to improve air
quality to meet the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS) by 2010.  This regulation is one of many regulatory actions the
Department has undertaken in recent years as part of its State
Implementation Plan (SIP) which is a federal requirement to show that
Delaware’s air quality will attain compliance with NAAQS by 2010.  No
inconsistencies or inadequacies regarding EPA policy and the Clean Air
Act have been identified.

C.  SUMMARY OF SIP REVISION:

This regulation requires that an owner or operator of an existing
stationary combustion turbine electric generating unit located in
Delaware with a base-load nameplate capacity of 1 MW or greater must, by
May 1, 2009, either demonstrate that the existing stationary combustion
turbine generating unit meets the emission limits listed below or must
install NOx emission controls designed to meet these limits:

▫	For CTs that burn gaseous fuel – 42 parts per million volume,
corrected to 15 percent O2 dry basis (ppmv) NOx

▫	For CTs that burn liquid fuel – 88 ppmv NOx.

Design of these limits was based on anticipated NOx emissions if water
injection pollution control equipment were installed.

The six CTs affected by this regulation operate without any NOx
pollution control equipment, although they are subject to regulations
designed to control NOx emissions.  DNREC determined that the six
sources could achieve significant reductions in their NOx emissions
through the use of water injection equipment.  EPA has previously
recognized this equipment and technology as reasonably available control
technology (RACT).  Water injection is a proven, feasible technology
that has been used in other states to reduce NOx emissions.

Owners or operators of covered units installing NOx emission reduction
controls are required to submit an emissions control plan which details
all actions to be taken to comply with the NOx emission limits set forth
in this regulation.  These plans are due to DNREC for approval no later
than April 11, 2008.  Compliance testing also is required for all units
covered by this regulation.  Finally the owners or operators of covered
units must submit for approval a monitoring plan, maintain an operating
log during the ozone season, and submit required monitoring information
to DNREC on an annual basis.  These requirements ensure that the NOx
limits may be enforced.

EVALUATION OF STATE SUBMITTAL

	DNREC calculates that the above emission limits would reduce NOx
emissions from CTs by 40 percent, or by 0.88 tons per day to
approximately 1.33 tons per day.  Such a reduction would significantly
improve air quality, particularly on days when CTs normally operate,
i.e., hot humid days and when weather conditions are conducive to
forming ground-level ozone.  Such an improvement is one of the many
regulatory steps taken to meet the NAAQS.  DNREC maintains that this
regulation will allow DNREC to fulfill Delaware’s federal regulatory
responsibility to attain the NAAQS by 2010.

	On September 11, 2007, Delaware submitted a letter notifying EPA of its
revision to the SIP for Ozone by adopting Regulation No 1148 – Control
of Stationary Combustion Turbine Electric Generating Unit Emissions.
The submittal included a certification that a public hearing was held in
accordance with notice required by 40 CFR 51.102, affidavit of
publication of the announcement of the public meeting for the proposed
regulations in The News Journal and The Delaware State News, the Hearing
Officer’s Report on the proposed regulation and public comments
received, DNREC’s Response Document to Comments Submitted on the
Proposed Adoption of Regulation No 1148, a copy of the final
regulations, and a copy of the Secretary’s Order No. 2007-A-0023 which
approves the final regulations.  EPA believes the state’s supporting
materials are technically adequate.  As discussed above, under this
revised SIP, six CTs are expected to install water injection technology
by May 1, 2009.

ng units which might otherwise impact potential growth.  Also, because
CTs generally are expensive to operate, these units are not expected to
operate more frequently than during peak periods of demand for
electricity.

The regulation is expected to result in reduced NOx emissions from
significant sources of such emissions which have not installed emission
controls under other air quality regulations.

E.  CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDED AGENCY ACTION:

The SIP revision strengthens the Delaware SIP and is recommended for
approval.
