SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Tropospheric ozone, commonly known as smog, is formed when VOCs and
nitrogen oxides react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight.
Because of the harmful health effects of ozone, EPA and state
governments limit the amount of VOCs that can be released into the
atmosphere. VOCs have different levels of reactivity, that is, some
VOCs react slowly or form less ozone, and therefore, changes in their
emissions have limited effects on local or regional ozone pollution
episodes. It has been EPA's policy that VOCs with a negligible level of
reactivity should be excluded from the regulatory definition of VOC
contained at 40 CFR 51.100(s) so as to focus control efforts on
compounds that do significantly increase ozone concentrations. This is
accomplished by adding the substance to a list of compounds not
considered to be VOCs, and thus, excluded from the definition of VOC.
EPA believes that exempting such compounds creates an incentive for
industry to use negligibly reactive compounds in place of more highly
reactive compounds that are regulated as VOCs. On August 28, 2013 (78
FR 53029) and October 22, 2013 (78 FR 62451), EPA revised the
definition of VOC contained in 40 CFR 51.100 to exclude two substances
from the definition of VOC. The compounds excluded from the definition
of VOC are trans 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (also known as
Solstice\TM\ 1233zd(E)) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (also known as
HFO-1234yf).

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    On May 7, 2015, the Commonwealth of Virginia submitted a formal
revision to its SIP which consists of adding two additional compounds
to the list of substances that are not considered VOCs found at 9VAC5-
10-20. These compounds are trans 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene
(also known as Solstice\TM\ 1233zd(E)) and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene
(also known as HFO-1234yf). The May 7, 2015 SIP revision will allow the
Virginia SIP to mirror the Federal definition of VOC. EPA believes that
by excluding these negligibly reactive compounds from the definition of
VOC an incentive is created for industry to use negligibly reactive
compounds in place of more highly reactive compounds; therefore, the
air quality in Virginia will not be negatively affected by the approval
of these SIP revisions particularly as EPA has found these compounds
negligibly reactive for ozone formation.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the SIP revision to the definition of VOC
submitted by Virginia on May 7, 2015. EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial
amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the
``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register, EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will
be effective on September 14, 2015 without further

notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by August 17, 2015. If EPA
receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so
at this time.

IV. General Information Pertaining to SIP Submittals From the
Commonwealth of Virginia

    In 1995, Virginia adopted legislation that provides, subject to
certain conditions, for an environmental assessment (audit)
``privilege'' for voluntary compliance evaluations performed by a
regulated entity. The legislation further addresses the relative burden
of proof for parties either asserting the privilege or seeking
disclosure of documents for which the privilege is claimed. Virginia's
legislation also provides, subject to certain conditions, for a penalty
waiver for violations of environmental laws when a regulated entity
discovers such violations pursuant to a voluntary compliance evaluation
and voluntarily discloses such violations to the Commonwealth and takes
prompt and appropriate measures to remedy the violations. Virginia's
Voluntary Environmental Assessment Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-
1198, provides a privilege that protects from disclosure documents and
information about the content of those documents that are the product
of a voluntary environmental assessment. The Privilege Law does not
extend to documents or information that: (1) Are generated or developed
before the commencement of a voluntary environmental assessment; (2)
are prepared independently of the assessment process; (3) demonstrate a
clear, imminent and substantial danger to the public health or
environment; or (4) are required by law.
    On January 12, 1998, the Commonwealth of Virginia Office of the
Attorney General provided a legal opinion that states that the
Privilege Law, Va. Code Sec.  10.1-1198, precludes granting a privilege
to documents and information ``required by law,'' including documents
and information ``required by Federal law to maintain program
delegation, authorization or approval,'' since Virginia must ``enforce
Federally authorized environmental programs in a manner that is no less
stringent than their Federal counterparts . . .'' The opinion concludes
that ``[r]egarding Sec.  10.1-1198, therefore, documents or other
information needed for civil or criminal enforcement under one of these
programs could not be privileged because such documents and information
are essential to pursuing enforcement in a manner required by Federal
law to maintain program delegation, authorization or approval.''
Virginia's Immunity law, Va. Code Sec. 10.1-1199, provides that ``[t]o
the extent consistent with requirements imposed by Federal law,'' any
person making a voluntary disclosure of information to a state agency
regarding a violation of an environmental statute, regulation, permit,
or administrative order is granted immunity from administrative or
civil penalty. The Attorney General's January 12, 1998 opinion states
that the quoted language renders this statute inapplicable to
enforcement of any Federally authorized programs, since ``no immunity
could be afforded from administrative, civil, or criminal penalties
because granting such immunity would not be consistent with Federal
law, which is one of the criteria for immunity.''
    Therefore, EPA has determined that Virginia's Privilege and
Immunity statutes will not preclude the Commonwealth from enforcing its
program consistent with the Federal requirements. In any event, because
EPA has also determined that a state audit privilege and immunity law
can affect only state enforcement and cannot have any impact on Federal
enforcement authorities, EPA may at any time invoke its authority under
the CAA, including, for example, sections 113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to
enforce the requirements or prohibitions of the state plan,
independently of any state enforcement effort. In addition, citizen
enforcement under section 304 of the CAA is likewise unaffected by
this, or any, state audit privilege or immunity law.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rulemaking action, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
definition of VOCs as described in section II of this rulemaking
action. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble for more information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct

costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 14, 2015. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking action.
    This action, revising the definition of VOCs, may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On June 13, 2012 a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) was
published in 77 FR 35321. We received no comments on the proposed rule.
No public meeting was requested, and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    On September 29, 2012 from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., Without Limits
Coaching will sponsor ``Swim Harbor Island'' on the waters adjacent to
and surrounding Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina.
The swim event will consist of up to 200 swimmers swimming a 3.5 mile
course around Harbor Island in Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. To
provide for the safety of participants, spectators and other transiting
vessels, the Coast Guard will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in
the event area during this event.

C. Discussion of the Final Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a safety zone on the navigable
waters of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway 550 yards north and south
of the U.S. 74/76 Bascule Bridge, mile 283.1, latitude 34[deg]13'06''
North, longitude 077[deg]48'44'' West, at Wrightsville Beach, North
Carolina. Participants will enter the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway at
the Dockside Marina on the west bank of the Atlantic Intracoastal
Waterway south of the U.S. 74/76 Bascule Bridge at Wrightsville Beach,
North Carolina, and swim north and clockwise around Harbor Island
returning to the Dockside Marina. To provide for the safety of
participants, spectators and other transiting vessels, the Coast Guard
will temporarily restrict vessel traffic in the event area during this
event.
    In an effort to enhance safety of event participants, the area
within the proposed safety zone, will remain closed during the event on
September 29, 2012 from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. In the interest of
participant safety, general navigation within the safety zone will be
restricted during the specified date and times. Except for participants
and vessels authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port or his
representative, no person or vessel may enter or remain in the
regulated area.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on 13 of these statutes or 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 Although this regulation
will restrict access to the area, the effect of this rule will not be
significant because the regulated area will be in effect for a limited
time, from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., on September 29, 2012. The Coast Guard
will provide advance notification via maritime advisories so mariners
can adjust their plans accordingly. The regulated area will apply only
to the section of Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in the immediate
vicinity of U.S. 74/76 Bascule Bridge at Wrightsville Beach, North
Carolina. Coast Guard vessels enforcing this regulated area can be
contacted on marine band radio VHF-FM channel 16 (156.8 MHz).

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 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 will affect the following entities, some of which may be
small entities: The owners or operators of vessels intending to transit
the specified portion of Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway from 7 a.m. to
11 a.m. on September 29, 2012.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
proposed rule will only be in effect for four hours from 7 a.m. to 11
a.m. The regulated area applies only to the section of Atlantic
Intracoastal Waterway in the vicinity of the U.S. 74/76 Bascule Bridge
at Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina. Vessel traffic may be allowed to
pass through the regulated area with the permission of the Coast Guard
Patrol Commander. In the case where the Patrol Commander authorizes
passage through the regulated area, vessels shall proceed at the
minimum speed necessary to maintain a safe course that minimizes wake
near the swim course. The Patrol Commander will allow non-participating
vessels to transit the event area once all swimmers are safely clear of
navigation channels and vessel traffic areas. Before the enforcement
period, we will issue maritime advisories so mariners can adjust their
plans accordingly.

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 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 that apply to organized marine events on the navigable
waters of the United States that may have potential for negative impact
on the safety or other interest of waterway users and shore side
activities in the event area. This special local regulation is
necessary to provide for the safety of the general public and event
participants from potential hazards associated with movement of vessels
near the event area. This rule is categorically excluded from further
review under paragraph 34(h) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are 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.

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0281]

Agency Information Collection Activities: Requests for Comments;
Clearance of a Renewed Approval of Information Collection:
Certification of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14, CFR

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice and request for comments.

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, FAA
invites public comments about our intention to request the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) approval to renew an information
collection. The information collection is required to receive the
benefit of obtaining an FAA Air Agency Certificate, known as a
certificated repair station. The collection involves the applicant
entering information onto and submitting the FAA Form 8310-3.
Application for Repair Station Certificate/and or Rating to the
appropriate FAA field office. Persons requesting to obtain an initial
Air Agency Certificate to operate as an FAA certificated repair station
or request changes to an existing repair station (air agency)
certificate do so by submitting the request through the submission of
the FAA Form 8310-3. This form is available to the applicant/respondent
via www.faa.gov, email, in person, or by mail.
    The FAA Form 8310-3, Application for Repair Station Certificate
and/or Ratings captures information such as, but not limited to;
official name of repair station, location where business is conducted,
official mailing address, any doing business as name, changes in
ratings, or if initial certification, ratings sought, changes in
location or housing and facilities, change in name or ownership, or any
other purpose for which the applicant requests, including a request for
approval to contract maintenance functions to outside entities.
    The FAA has identified an inaccuracy in how burden calculations are
determined associated with initial repair station certifications and
subsequent changes to an existing repair station certificate. The FAA
has identified that the information collected through the FAA Form
8310-3 does not capture the entire repair station certification
activities or changes to an existing certificate. OMB Control Number
2120-0682 is not only authorizing the Agency to receive information
collected on the FAA Form 8310-3, but should also encapsulate the
entire calculation burden associated with repair station certification
and subsequent changes to an existing certificate.
    Once burden calculations associated with repair station
certification activities are properly assessed, the FAA will publish a
new notice to the Federal Register capturing the entire burden
calculation for repair station certification and subsequent changes to
an existing certificate.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The agency will summarize and/or include
your comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this information
collection.
    OMB Control Number: 2120-0682.
    Title: Certification of Repair Stations, Part 145 of Title 14, CFR.
    Form Numbers: FAA Form 8310-3.
    Type of Review: Clearance of a renewal of an information
collection.
    Background: The FAA's authority to issue rules on aviation safety
is found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, section
106, describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. Rulemaking was promulgated under the authority described in
title 49, subtitle VII, part A, subpart III, section 44701, General
requirements, and section 44707, Examining and rating air agencies.
Under section 44701, the FAA may prescribe regulations and standards in
the interest of safety for inspecting, servicing, and overhauling
aircraft, aircraft engines, propellers, and appliances. The FAA may
also prescribe equipment and facilities for, and the timing and manner
of, inspecting, servicing, and overhauling these items. Under section
44707, the FAA may examine and rate repair stations. 14 Part 145 is
within the scope of section 44707.
    14 CFR part 145 prescribes the requirements for the issuance of
repair station certificates. The FAA Form 8310-3, Application for
Repair Station Certificate and/or Rating is available to the applicant
who wishes to obtain initial repair station certification or submit
changes to an existing air agency certificate. The applicant
voluntarily submits the application to the appropriate FAA office by
mail or email for review and acceptance. The applicant enters the
information required for certification or changes to the existing
certificate, which consists of; official name of repair station,
location where business is conducted, official mailing address, any
doing business as name, changes in ratings, or if initial
certification, ratings sought, changes in location or housing and
facilities, change in name or ownership, or any other purpose for which
the applicant requests, including a request

for approval to contract maintenance functions to outside entities.
Once the FAA reviews the submitted application and finds the applicant
has the ability to comply with the 14 CFR part 145 requirements for
certification, an air agency certificate and ratings is issued. The FAA
retains a copy of the application in the FAA office that issued the
certificate for an indefinite time or a time-period specified by the
Agency's Records Management Order 1350.14B, mandated by the Federal
Records Act of 1950, as amended. The applicant is not required to
retain a copy of the form. The FAA does not provide other persons or
entities with information contained in the form.
    Respondents: There were a total of 129 applications submitted to
the FAA in fiscal year (FY) 2019. Out of the 129 applications, 64
applications were for submitted for initial certification.
    Frequency: Information is collected on occasion. One time for
initial certification and when or if an existing certificated repair
station request changes to their certificate.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 15 minutes.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 32.25 hours annual burden for
FY2019. There is no requirement for a respondent to submit this form
annually.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on March 17, 2020.

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

    On April 9, 2014, EPA determined that the submittal for ICAPCD
Rules 400.3 and 400.4 met the completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51
Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of these rules?

    There are no previous versions of Rules 400.3 and 400.4.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rules?

    NOX helps produce ground-level ozone, smog and
particulate matter, which harm human health and the environment.
Section 110(a) of the CAA requires States to submit regulations that
control NOX emissions. Rule 400.3 regulates emissions of
NOX from internal combustion engines with a brake horsepower
greater than 50. Rule 400.4 regulates emissions of NOX from
kilns with a heat input rating of MMBtu/hour or larger that operate at
wallboard production facilities. EPA's technical support documents
(TSD) have more information about these rules.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating the rules?

    Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the
Act), must require Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for
each category of sources covered by a Control Techniques Guidelines
(CTG) document as well as each NOX or VOC major source in
ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above (see sections
182(b)(2) and 182(f)), and must not relax existing requirements (see
sections 110(l) and 193). The ICAPCD regulates an ozone nonattainment
area classified as moderate for the 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see 40 CFR
81.305), so Rule 400.3 and 400.4 must fulfill RACT if the District has
major sources in these categories.
    Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability and RACT requirements consistently include the
following:

    1. ``State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the
Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,''
57 FR 13498 (April 16, 1992); 57 FR 18070 (April 28, 1992).
    2. ``State Implementation Plans; Nitrogen Oxides Supplement to
the General Preamble; Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
Implementation of Title I; Proposed Rule,'' (the NOX
Supplement), 57 FR 55620, November 25, 1992.
    3. ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies,
and Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook).

    4. ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,'' EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001 (the Little Bluebook).
    5. ``Alternative Control Techniques Document--NOX
Emissions from Stationary Reciprocating Internal Combustion
Engines,'' U.S. EPA, July 1993.
    6. ``Determination of Reasonably Available Control Technology
and Best Available Retrofit Control Technology for Stationary Spark-
Ignited Internal Combustion Engines,'' CARB, November 2001.

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?

    We believe these rules are consistent with the relevant policy and
guidance regarding enforceability, RACT, and SIP relaxations. Since
there are no major sources subject to Rule 400.3 that are required to
meet RACT, Rule 400.3 is not required to implement RACT requirements
and at this time we are not making a determination of its ability to
implement RACT. The TSDs have more information on our evaluation. Rule
400.4 implements RACT.

C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rules

    The TSDs describe additional rule revisions that we recommend for
the next time the local agency modifies the rules.

D. Public Comment and Final Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully
approving the submitted rules because we believe they fulfill all
relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in advance.
However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, we are
simultaneously proposing approval of the same submitted rules. If we
receive adverse comments by November 5, 2014, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the direct
final approval will not take effect and we will address the comments in
a subsequent final action based on the proposal. If we do not receive
timely adverse comments, the direct final approval will be effective
without further notice on December 5, 2014. This will incorporate these
rules into the federally enforceable SIP.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves State law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
     does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 5, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the Proposed
Rules section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of Cubed, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

July 17, 2014.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') that there is a lack of current and accurate
information concerning the securities of Cubed, Inc. (``Cubed''),
particularly with respect to the company's current financial condition.

located in Las Vegas, Nevada. Its stock is quoted on OTC Link, operated
by OTC Markets Group Inc., under the ticker: CRPT. The Commission is of
the opinion that the public interest and the protection of investors
require a suspension of trading in the securities of Cubed.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on
July 17, 2014, through 11:59 p.m. EDT on July 30, 2014.

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and
Approval; Comment Request; Oil Pollution Prevention; Spill Prevention,
Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an
information collection request (ICR), Spill Prevention, Control, and
Countermeasure (SPCC) Plans (EPA ICR Number 0328.18, OMB Control Number
2050-0021) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through May
31, 2020. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal
Register on September 11, 2019, during a 60-day comment period. This
notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden
and cost to the public. 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.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 7, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OPA-
2007-0584, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred

information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The authority for EPA's oil pollution prevention
requirements is derived from section 311(j)(1)(C) of the Clean Water
Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. EPA's regulation is
codified at 40 CFR part 112. An SPCC Plan will help an owner or
operator identify the necessary procedures, equipment, and resources to
prevent an oil spill and to respond to an oil spill in a timely manner.
If implemented effectively, the SPCC Plan is expected to prevent and
reduce the impact and severity, of oil spills. Although the owner or
operator is the primary data user, EPA may also require the owner or
operator to submit data to the Agency in certain situations to ensure
facilities comply with the SPCC regulation and to help allocate
response resources. The data, which are not generally available
elsewhere, can assist State and local governments in several ways,
including when information on certain oil discharges must be sent to
relevant State and local agencies (section 112.4(a)), and with local
emergency preparedness planning efforts. EPA does not require an owner
or operator to submit their SPCC Plan but may request the SPCC Plan
during a facility inspection or an oil spill incident for review. The
SPCC regulation requires the owner or operator to maintain a complete
copy of the Plan at the facility if the facility is normally attended
at least four hours per day or at the nearest field office if the
facility is not so attended. The rule also requires that the Plan be
available to the Regional Administrator for on-site review during
normal working hours (40 CFR 112.3(e)).
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of facilities
that are required to have a SPCC Plan under the Oil Pollution
Prevention regulation (40 CFR part 112).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, pursuant to 40 CFR
112.3(e).
    Estimated number of respondents: 549,785 (total).
    Frequency of response: Facilities must prepare and implement an
SPCC Plan before beginning operations, and review, evaluate and update
the SPCC Plan every five years.
    Total estimated burden: 6,309,523 hours (per year). Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $857,835,543 (per year), includes
$201,002,128 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: The burden hour estimate presented in this
ICR renewal has increased by approximately 130,000 hours from the ICR
currently approved by OMB. This increase is attributable to the net
change in the universe of regulated facilities after accounting for
changes in the numbers of existing and newly regulated facilities in
the ICR renewal period.
    Annual O&M costs are estimated to increase by approximately
$17,841,833 compared to the costs currently approved by OMB. These
increases are due to the combination of the higher

number of regulated facilities projected between 2019 through 2021
compared to the number of facilities between 2016 through 2018
estimated from the ICR currently approved by OMB, as well as higher
capital and O&M unit costs due to inflation.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 [File No. 500-1]

Uniontown Energy, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

June 1, 2011.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Uniontown Energy, Inc. because of questions regarding the accuracy of
assertions by the company, and by others, including in press releases
to investors concerning, among other things: the acquisition and
exploration of oil properties.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT, on

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2014-0726; Airspace Docket No. 14-ASO-9]

Amendment of Class D and E Airspace, and Revocation of Class E
Airspace; Troy, AL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends Class D and E airspace, and removes Class E
airspace designated as an extension at Troy Municipal Airport at N.
Kenneth Campbell Field (formerly Troy Municipal Airport), Troy, AL. The
Troy VHF Omnidirectional Radio Range (VOR) has been decommissioned,
therefore Class E extension airspace is no longer needed, and new
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed, requiring
adjustments in Class D airspace and Class E airspace extending upward
from 700 feet above the surface at the airport. This action enhances
the safety and airspace management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)
operations at the airport. This action also updates the geographic
coordinates of the airport and recognizes the name change of the
airport.

DATES: Effective 0901 UTC, November 10, 2016. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
title 1, Code of Federal Regulations, part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. 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 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 Class D and Class E airspace at Troy Municipal
Airport at N. Kenneth Campbell Field, Troy, AL.

History

    On June 21, 2016, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend Class D and Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Troy
Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth Campbell Field, formerly Troy Municipal
Airport, Troy, AL, (81 FR 40213) Docket No. FAA-2014-0726, as new
Standard Instrument Approach Procedures have been developed requiring
airspace redesign. Additionally, Class E airspace designated as an
extension to Class D surface area would be removed due to the
decommissioning of the Troy VOR and cancellation of the VOR approaches.
The geographic coordinates of the airport would be amended to coincide
with the FAA's aeronautical database. Interested parties were invited
to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting written comments
on the proposal to the FAA. No comments were received.
    Class D and Class E airspace designations are published in
paragraphs 5000, 6004 and 6005, respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11A
dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15, 2016, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class D and Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11A, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 3, 2016, and effective September 15,
2016. FAA Order 7400.11A is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11A lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 amends Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface within a 7.6-mile radius of Troy Municipal Airport at N.
Kenneth Campbell Field and within 2-miles each side of a 070[deg]
bearing from the airport to 11.5-miles northeast of the airport, and
within 2-miles each side of a 253[deg] bearing from the airport to
11.3-miles southwest of the airport. Additionally, Class E airspace
designated as an extension to Class D surface area is removed due to
the decommissioning of the Troy VOR and cancellation of the VOR
approaches. The geographic coordinates of the airport are amended to
coincide with the FAAs aeronautical database. Also, this action
recognizes the name change of Troy Municipal Airport at N. Kenneth
Campbell Field (formerly Troy Municipal Airport).

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified
that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.
