 Background

Mercury ( Hg) Sources and Health Impacts

Regulatory Alternatives  ORD/ NRMRL Role and Key Accomplishments  Control of Hg Emissions from Power Plants ( White Paper) Status of Issue: Mercury ( Hg)

Control From Power Plants

Hg known to bioaccumulate in human and animal tissue in most toxic form: methyl mercury

Human exposure associated with serious neurological and developmental effects

EPA regulated municipal waste combustors ( MWCs) and medical waste incinerators in 1990s; controlled more than 40 tons

Coal fired power plants now major source; 48 tons ( 1999)

On January 30, 2004 EPA proposed regulations for power plant Hg control; presently in comment/ review phase

Hg " white paper," part of regulatory docket, summarizes current and projected state of the art technologies for key coal/ control configurations M   Currently 44 states have issue fish consumption advisories for some or all of their waters due to contamination from mercury.*

1,150 of which are > 25 megawatt.

  Coal plants generate the vast majority of power sector emissions:

 100% of Hg  95% of SO 2  90% of NO X Mercury Emissions from Power Plants Cause Human Exposure to Mercury Wet and Dry Deposition Emissions Reductions Reduce Atmospheric Transport and Deposition Reduce Ecosystem Transport and Methylation Reduce Human and Wildlife Exposure Reduce Health Impacts Fishing ° commercial ° recreational ° subsistence Mercury transforms into methylmercury in soils and water, then can bioaccumulate in fish Atmospheric deposition Lake methylation Ocean methylation Impacts ° Best documented impacts on the developing fetus:

° Methodology: Engineering judgment applied to critically review available information. Extensive review by senior Agency management ( ORD and OAR) and OMB.

° Update Process Schedule: By late 2004/ early 2005,

update the paper using most recent information available. Major Findings  Hg can be reduced with existing technology for NOX,

SO2, and PM, but effectiveness varies significantly.

 By 2010, activated carbon injection ( ACI) can potentially control 70 90% Hg for all coal/ technology configurations.*

 By 2015, 90 95% Hg control is potentially achievable for all coals by enhancing existing NOX/ SO2 technologies.*

 Once demo is completed, additional time will be required to install/ modify technology to implement regulation.

Mercuric chloride ( HgCl2) is water soluble and can absorb in the aqueous slurry of a wet FGD system resulting in formation of mercuric sulfide ( HgS), which precipitates as sludge.

Mercury capture is dependent on the relative amount of HgCl2 in the inlet flue gas and on the PM control technology used.

ICR data: average mercury captures ranged from 29% for one PC fired ESP plus FGD unit burning subbituminous coal to 98% in a PC fired FF plus FGD unit burning bituminous coal.

SCR systems can enhance capture in wet FGD on bituminous coal fired boilers. Need for Further Evaluation  For ACI, longer term testing with broader array of power plants firing various coals under a variety of operating conditions.

 More difficult to control Hg from low rank coal fired boilers.

 Hg control ( 70 90%) using ACI for all coals is potentially achievable by 2010.

 By 2015, large numbers of SCR and FGD systems are expected to be installed to control NOx and SO2, 90 95% Hg control is projected. Summary & Conclusions ( continued)

 Cost effective Hg removal expected to add no more than about 3 mills/ kWh to the annualized cost of power production. Tweaking option could potentially reduced this cost substantially.

 The date in previous table represents when the demonstration for the most difficult case ( e. g.,

lignite) will be completed.

 Time to fully deploy such technologies will depend on various factors ( regulatory mandates, vendor capabilities, and time for design and construction).

procedure.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to modify Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet above the surface at Pueblo Memorial Airport,
Pueblo, CO, to accommodate en route IFR aircraft at Pueblo Memorial
Airport. The southern boundary of the 13,700 foot mean sea level
section has a small gap of airspace associated with V-83-210 leaving
over a .5 nautical mile gap of unprotected airspace in that area. This
action would add the additional controlled airspace area necessary for
the safety and management of aircraft operations at Pueblo Memorial
Airport, Pueblo, CO.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order 7400.9U, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designation listed in this document will be published
subsequently in this Order.
    The FAA has determined this proposed regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified this proposed rule, when
promulgated, would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, section 106, describes
the authority for the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
subtitle VII, part A, subpart I, section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of the
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it amends controlled airspace at Pueblo Memorial Airport, Pueblo,
CO.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, pursuant to the authority delegated to me, the Federal
Aviation Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

    1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as

Sec.  71.1  [Amended]

    2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1 of the
Federal Aviation Administration Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 18, 2010, and effective September

    S10.2 Vehicle test attitude. When the vehicle is in its ``as
delivered,''

``fully loaded'' and ``as tested'' condition, locate the vehicle on a
flat, horizontal surface to determine the vehicle attitude. Use the
same level surface or reference plane and the same standard points on
the test vehicle when determining the ``as delivered,'' ``fully
loaded'' and ``as tested'' conditions. Measure the angles relative to a
horizontal plane, front-to-rear and from left-to-right for the ``as
delivered,'' ``fully loaded,'' and ``as tested'' conditions. The front-
to-rear angle (pitch) is measured along a fixed reference on the left
and right front occupant's door sills. Mark where the angles are taken
on the door sills. The left to right angle (roll) is measured along a
fixed reference point at the front and rear of the vehicle at the
vehicle longitudinal center plane. Mark where the angles are measured.
The ``as delivered'' condition is the vehicle as received at the test
site, with 100 percent of all fluid capacities and all tires inflated
to the manufacturer's specifications listed on the vehicle's tire
placard. When the vehicle is in its ``fully loaded'' condition, measure
the angle between the left front occupant's door sill and the
horizontal, at the same place the ``as delivered'' angle was measured.
The ``fully loaded condition'' is the test vehicle loaded in accordance
with S8.1 of this standard (49 CFR 571.214). The load placed in the
cargo area is centered over the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle.
The vehicle ``as tested'' pitch and roll angles are between the ``as
delivered'' and ``fully loaded'' condition, inclusive.
* * * * *
    S10.3.1 Driver and front outboard passenger seat set-up for 50th
percentile male dummy. The driver and front outboard passenger seats
are set up as specified in S8.3.1 of this standard, 49 CFR 571.214.
    S10.3.2. Driver and front outboard passenger seat set-up for 49 CFR
part 572 Subpart V 5th percentile female dummy.
* * * * *
    S<IP_ADDRESS> Seat position adjustment. If the driver and any front
outboard passenger seats do not adjust independently of each other, the
struck side seat shall control the final position of the non-struck
side seat. If the driver and any front outboard passenger seats adjust
independently of each other, adjust both the struck and non-struck side
seats in the manner specified in S10.3.2.
* * * * *
    S10.5 Adjustable steering controls. Adjustable steering controls
are adjusted so that the steering control hub is at the geometric
center of the locus it describes when it is moved through its full
range of driving positions. If there is no setting detent in the mid-
position, lower the steering control to the detent just below the mid-
position. If the steering column is telescoping, place the steering
column in the mid-position. If there is no mid-position, move the
steering control rearward one position from the mid-position.
* * * * *
    S12.1.1 Positioning a Part 572 Subpart F (SID) dummy in the
driver's seating position.
    (a) * * *
    (1) For a bench seat. The upper torso of the test dummy rests
against the seat back. The midsagittal plane of the test dummy is
vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline, and
passes through the center of the steering control.
* * * * *
    S12.1.2 Positioning a Part 572 Subpart F (SID) dummy in any front
outboard passenger seating position.
    (a) * * *
    (1) For a bench seat. The upper torso of the test dummy rests
against the seat back. The midsagittal plane of the test dummy is
vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline. For
vehicles with manually operated driving controls the midsagittal plane
of the test dummy is the same distance from the vehicle's longitudinal
centerline as would be the midsagittal plane of a test dummy positioned
in the driver's seating position under S12.1.1(a)(1). For vehicles
without manually operated driving controls the midsagittal plane of the
test dummy shall be vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal
centerline, and passes through any front outboard passenger seat's
SgRP.
* * * * *
    S12.1.3 * * *
    (a) * * *
    (1) For a bench seat. The upper torso of the test dummy rests
against the seat back. The midsagittal plane of the test dummy is
vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline, and, if
possible, the same distance from the vehicle's longitudinal centerline
as the midsagittal plane of a test dummy positioned in the driver's
seating position under S12.1.1(a)(1) or left front passenger seating
positioned under S12.1.2(a)(1) in vehicles without manually operated
driving controls. If it is not possible to position the test dummy so
that its midsagittal plane is parallel to the vehicle longitudinal
centerline and is at this distance from the vehicle's longitudinal
centerline, the test dummy is positioned so that some portion of the
test dummy just touches, at or above the seat level, the side surface
of the vehicle, such as the upper quarter panel, an armrest, or any
interior trim (i.e., either the broad trim panel surface or a smaller,
localized trim feature).
* * * * *
    S12.2.1 * * *
    (c) Arms. Place the dummy's upper arms such that the angle between
the projection of the arm centerline on the mid-sagittal plane of the
dummy and the torso reference line is 40[deg] 5[deg]. The
torso reference line is defined as the thoracic spine centerline. The
shoulder-arm joint allows for discrete arm positions at 0, 40, and 90
degree settings forward of the spine.
* * * * *
    S12.3.1 * * *
    (d) Driver and any front outboard passenger dummy manual belt
adjustment. Use all available belt systems. Place adjustable belt
anchorages at the nominal position for a 5th percentile adult female
suggested by the vehicle manufacturer.
* * * * *
    S12.3.2 * * *
    (a) * * *
    (4) Bench seats. Position the midsagittal plane of the dummy
vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline and
aligned within 10 mm (0.4 in) of the center of
the steering control rim.
* * * * *
    (8) If needed, extend the legs slightly so that the feet are not in
contact with the floor pan. Let the thighs rest on the seat cushion to
the extent permitted by the foot movement. Keeping the leg and the
thigh in a vertical plane, place the foot in the vertical longitudinal
plane that passes through the centerline of the accelerator pedal.
Rotate the left thigh outboard about the hip until the center of the
knee is the same distance from the midsagittal plane of the dummy as
the right knee 5 mm (0.2 in). Using only the
control that moves the seat fore and aft, attempt to return the seat to
the full forward position. If either of the dummy's legs first contacts
the steering control, then adjust the steering control, if adjustable,
upward until contact with the steering control is avoided. If the
steering control is not adjustable, separate the knees enough to avoid
steering control contact. Proceed with moving the seat forward until
either the leg contacts the vehicle interior or the seat reaches the
full forward position. (The right foot may contact and depress the
accelerator and/or change the angle of the foot with respect to the leg
during seat movement.) If necessary to avoid

contact with the vehicle's brake or clutch pedal, rotate the test
dummy's left foot about the leg. If there is still interference, rotate
the left thigh outboard about the hip the minimum distance necessary to
avoid pedal interference. If a dummy leg contacts the vehicle interior
before the full forward position is attained, position the seat at the
next detent where there is no contact. If the seat is a power seat,
move the seat fore and aft to avoid contact while assuring that there
is a maximum of 5 mm (0.2 in) distance between the vehicle interior and
the point on the dummy that would first contact the vehicle interior.
If the steering control was moved, return it to the position described
in S10.5. If the steering control contacts the dummy's leg(s) prior to
attaining this position, adjust it to the next higher detent, or if
infinitely adjustable, until there is 5 mm (0.2 in) clearance between
the control and the dummy's leg(s).
    (9) * * *
    (ii) Vehicles with adjustable seat backs. While holding the thighs
in place, rotate the seat back forward until the transverse
instrumentation platform angle of the head is level to within 0.5 degrees, making sure that the pelvis does not interfere with
the seat bight. (If the torso contacts the steering control, use
S12.3.2(a)(10) before proceeding with the remaining portion of this
paragraph.) If it is not possible to level the transverse
instrumentation platform to within 0.5 degrees, select the
seat back adjustment position that minimizes the difference between the
transverse instrumentation platform angle and level, then adjust the
neck bracket to level the transverse instrumentation platform angle to
within 0.5 degrees if possible. If it is still not possible
to level the transverse instrumentation platform to within 0.5 degrees, select the neck bracket angle position that
minimizes the difference between the transverse instrumentation
platform angle and level.
    (10) If the torso contacts the steering control, adjust the
steering control in the following order until there is no contact:
Telescoping adjustment, lowering adjustment, raising adjustment. If the
vehicle has no adjustments or contact with the steering control cannot
be eliminated by adjustment, position the seat at the next detent where
there is no contact with the steering control as adjusted in S10.5. If
the seat is a power seat, position the seat to avoid contact while
assuring that there is a maximum of 5 mm (0.2 in) distance between the
steering control as adjusted in S10.5 and the point of contact on the
dummy.
* * * * *
    S12.3.3 * * *
    (a) * * *
    (2) Fully recline the seat back, if adjustable. Place the dummy
into any passenger seat, such that when the legs are positioned 120
degrees to the thighs, the calves of the legs are not touching the seat
cushion.
* * * * *
    (4) Bench seats. Position the midsagittal plane of the dummy
vertical and parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline and the
same distance from the vehicle's longitudinal centerline, within 10 mm (0.4 in), as the midsagittal plane of the
driver dummy, if there is a driver's seating position. Otherwise, the
midsagittal plane of any front outboard passenger dummy shall be
vertical, parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal centerline, and pass,
within 10 mm (0.4 in), through the seating
reference point of the seating that it occupies.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: FERC-592, Standards of Conduct for
Transmission Providers; and Marketing Affiliates of Interstate
Pipelines.
    OMB Control No.: 1 902-0157.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-592 information
collection requirements with no changes to the current reporting
requirements.
    Abstract: The Commission uses the information maintained and posted
by the respondents to monitor the pipeline's transportation, sales, and
storage activities for its marketing affiliate to deter undue
discrimination by pipeline companies in favor of their marketing
affiliates. Non-affiliated shippers and other entities (e.g. state
commissions) also use information to determine whether they have been
harmed by affiliate preference and to prepare evidence for proceedings
following the filing of a complaint.

18 CFR Part 358 (Standards of Conduct)

    Respondents maintain and provide the information required by Part
358 on their Internet Web sites. When the Commission requires a
pipeline to post information on its Web site following a disclosure of
non-public information to its marketing affiliate, non-affiliated
shippers obtain comparable access to the non-public transportation
information, which allows them to compete with marketing affiliates on
a more equal basis.

18 CFR 250.16, and the FERC-592 Log/Format

    This form (log/format) provides the electronic formats for
maintaining information on discounted transportation transactions and
capacity allocation to support monitoring of activities of interstate
pipeline marketing affiliates. Commission staff considers discounts
given to shippers in litigated rate cases.
    Without this information collection:
     The Commission would be unable to effectively monitor
whether pipelines are giving discriminatory preference to their
marketing affiliates; and
     Non-affiliated shippers and state commissions and others
would be unable to determine if they have been harmed by affiliate
preference or prepare evidence for proceedings following the filing of
a complaint.
    Type of Respondents: Natural gas pipelines.

    Estimate of Annual Burden \1\: The Commission estimates the total
Public Reporting Burden for this information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Burden is defined as 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. For

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
