ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2007-0526; FRL-9130-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Texas; Revision to Control Volatile Organic Compound Emissions in the
Houston/Galveston/Brazoria 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve
a revision to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision
adds additional requirements to control volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions from storage tanks, transport vessels and marine vessels in
the Houston/Galveston/Brazoria (HGB) 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment
area, which consists of Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston,
Harris, Liberty,

Montgomery and Waller counties. Specifically, this revision subjects
owners or operators of VOC storage tanks, transport vessels, and marine
vessels located in the HGB 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area to more
stringent control, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements. EPA
proposes to approve the SIP revision because it will help lower ozone
levels in the HGB area by reducing VOC emissions. EPA proposes to
approve the revision pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Clean
Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 28, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Mr. Guy Donaldson, Chief, Air
Planning Section (6PD-L), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross
Avenue, Suite 1200, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. Comments may also be
submitted electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following
the detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final
rule located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Young, Air Planning Section (6PD-
L), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite
700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax number 214-
665-7263; e-mail address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-8773-4; EPA-HQ-OW-2008-0055]

Notice Regarding National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) General Permit for Discharges Incidental to the Normal
Operation of a Vessel

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: EPA previously announced the final NPDES general permit for
discharges incidental to the normal operation of vessels, also referred
to as the Vessel General Permit (VGP), in the Federal Register on
December 29, 2008 (73 FR 79493). The permit was signed on December 18,
2008 and became effective on December 19, 2008. EPA subsequently
noticed final issuance of the VGP for the states of Hawaii and Alaska,
after receipt of a certification pursuant to section 401 of the Clean
Water Act (CWA) from Hawaii and a final response on the national
consistency determination required by section 307(c)(1) of the Coastal
Zone Management Act (CZMA) from Alaska, which was signed on February 2,
2009, with an effective date of February 6, 2009. Today's notice of
availability provides notice of EPA's deletion of specific State
section 401 certification conditions from Part 6 of the VGP for the
States of New Jersey, Illinois, and California.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information on the final
vessel NPDES general permit, contact Ryan Albert at EPA Headquarters,
Office of Water, Office of Wastewater Management, Mail Code 4203M, 1200

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. General Information

    Pursuant to Clean Water Act section 401(a) and EPA's implementing
regulations, EPA may not issue a NPDES permit (including the VGP) until
the appropriate State certifications have been granted or waived. 40
CFR 124.53(a). Through the certification process, States were given the
opportunity, before the VGP was issued, to add conditions to the permit
they believe are necessary to ensure that the permit complies with the
Clean Water Act and other appropriate requirements of State law,
including State water quality standards.
    New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection issued its
section 401 certification for the VGP on September 24, 2008, and
modified its certification on February 2, 2009. This modification
deleted certification conditions 1 and 2. Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency issued its section 401 certification
for the VGP on November 21, 2008, and modified its certification on
February 4, 2009. This modification deleted certification condition
9. California State Water Resources Control Board issued its
section 401 certification for the VGP on December 17, 2008, and
modified its certification on February 4, 2009. This modification
deleted certification conditions 1, 2, 5,
7, 8, 9, 10, 13,
14, 15, and 7.1 and 7.2 from certification condition
16 and Attachments 4, 5, and 6 from certification condition
17. Pursuant to EPA's implementing regulations at 40 CFR
124.55(b), EPA may, at the request of a permittee, modify the VGP based
on a modified certification received after final agency action on the
permit ``only to the extent necessary to delete any conditions based on
a condition in a certification invalidated by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by an appropriate State board or agency.'' 40 CFR
124.55(b). In accordance with this provision, EPA has removed these
deleted certification conditions from the VGP.\1\ EPA's letters
notifying the requesting permittees that their requests to delete the
permit conditions were granted, and a copy of the VGP reflecting those
deletions, can be found in the docket for the VGP (Docket ID No. EPA-
HQ-OW-2008-0055).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In addition, the regulations at 40 CFR 124.55(b) also
require that EPA receive a request from a permittee for the deleted
certification conditions to be removed from the permit. EPA received
such requests to remove deleted conditions from Express Marine Inc.
on February 3, 2009 in New Jersey, Canal Barge Company Inc. on
February 4, 2009 in Illinois and from Foss Maritime Company on
February 5, 2009 in California.
    \2\ In addition, the permit may be found at http://www.epa.gov/
npdes/vessels.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On November 29, 2010, and July 25, 2014, GA EPD submitted revisions
to EPA for review and approval into the Georgia SIP that contain
changes to a number of Georgia's air quality rules in Rule 391-3-1. The
changes that EPA is approving into the SIP modify Rule 391-3-1-.01,
``Definitions,'' and Rule 391-3-1-.02, ``Provisions.'' The changes
requested by Georgia in these proposed SIP revisions are discussed
below.
    The November 29, 2010, submittal includes a change to Rule 391-3-
1-.01(nnnn), ``Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of Air
Pollutants.'' EPA approved this change on January 5, 2017 (82 FR 1206).
EPA is not acting on changes to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(sss),
``Multipollutant Control for Electric Utility Steam Generating Units''
and Rule 391-3-1-.14--``General Conformity'' included in the November
29, 2010, submittal because the rules are not part of the SIP and the
State's prior request to incorporate the rule into the SIP was
withdrawn from EPA consideration by the State in a letter dated
December 1, 2016.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The December 1, 2016 letter is included in the docket for
this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The July 25, 2014, submittal includes several changes that are not
part of this action. Rule 391-3-1-.01(llll), ``Volatile organic
compound,'' was approved on October 5, 2016, (81 FR 68936) and Rule
391-3-1-.01(nnnn), ``Procedures for Testing and Monitoring Sources of
Air Pollutants,'' was approved on January 5, 2017, (82 FR 1206). With
respect to GA EPD's submission related to Rule 391-3-1-.02(4),
``Ambient Air Standards,'' and Rule 391-3-1-.03(8), ``Permit
Requirements,'' EPA will act on these changes in a separate action.

II. Analysis of State's Submittal

A. November 29, 2010 Submittal

    Georgia's November 29, 2010, submittal makes only one
administrative edit to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(ss), ``Gasoline Transport
Vehicles and Vapor Collection Systems.'' Specifically, the submittal
fixes a numbering error at Rule 391-3-

1.02(2)(ss)(5) by revising the citation for a provision defining the
term ``Vapor Control System'' from ``iv'' to ``vi.'' EPA is approving
this administrative change to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(ss) into the SIP.
This change became state effective on October 6, 2010.

B. July 25, 2014 Submittal

    Georgia's July 25, 2014, submission makes multiple changes to Rule
391-3-1-.02.
    GA EPD revises two sections in Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(a), ``General
Provisions.'' The first change adds a subparagraph at Rule 391-3-
1-.02(2)(a)6.(i)(VI), which clarifies applicability requirements for
certain volatile organic compound (VOC) emission standards. This change
clarifies that, when calculating emissions for purposes of an
applicability determination for each standard, the source should only
include emissions from units belonging to the source category to which
the standard would apply.
    The second change removes a paragraph at Rule 391-3-1.02(2)(a)9.,
titled Kraft Pulp Mill Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) Compliance Schedules.
Kraft Pulp Mill sources were required to comply with the TRS Compliance
Schedule no later than 43 months after the September 1, 1988,
notification date. New sources after April 1, 1992, have to be in
compliance upon start-up. The July 25, 2014, SIP submittal deletes
paragraph 9 because sources have met the TRS compliance schedule, so
the provision is obsolete. Additionally, Georgia makes an
administrative change to Rule 391-3-1-.02 (2)(gg), ``Kraft Pulp
Mills,'' by removing reference to the approval of the TRS Compliance
Schedule in subparagraph 2(i)(V).
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(e), ``Particulate Emission from Manufacturing
Processes,'' establishes allowable particulate matter emission limits
for sources that are not subject to another rule or permit condition.
The rule currently provides equations to calculate allowable emission
rates based on process input weight rate for new and existing
equipment. In addition, two tables, Ia and Ib, also provide the
allowable emissions rates. Georgia is removing these two tables since
the equations in the rule serve the same purpose, and as such this
change is administrative in nature.
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(l), ``Conical Burners.'' This rule was first
incorporated in the SIP to address the use of conical burners for wood
waste burning. These burners gradually went out of service and are no
longer in operation in Georgia. The July 25, 2014, SIP submittal
removes the regulation for conical burners as it is no longer
applicable and is obsolete. Moreover, if a source were to begin
operating in Georgia in the future, it would be subject to new source
review, as well as the new source performance standards and emission
guidelines for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units
in 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 60 Subparts CCCC and DDDD,
thus ensuring that the source would not interfere with any applicable
requirement under the CAA.
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(o), ``Cupola Furnaces for Metallurgical
Melting.'' This rule was first incorporated in the SIP to address
particulate emissions from foundries. These sources are no longer
operating in Georgia. This change removes the regulation for cupola
furnaces for metallurgical melting as it is no longer applicable and is
obsolete. Moreover, if a source were to begin operating in the future,
it would be subject to new source review, as well as 40 CFR part 63
Subpart EEEEE or ZZZZZ, thus ensuring that the source would not
interfere with any applicable requirement under the CAA.
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(p), ``Particulate Emissions from Kaolin and
Fuller's Earth Processes.'' This rule was first incorporated in the SIP
to establish allowable particulate emission limits from clay processing
operations. The rule currently provides equations to calculate
allowable emission rates based on process input weight rate for new and
existing equipment. In addition, two tables, IIa and IIb, also provide
the allowable emissions rates. Georgia is removing these two tables
since the equations in the rule serve the same purpose, and as such
this change is administrative in nature.
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(q), ``Particulate Emissions from Cotton Gins.''
This rule was first incorporated in the SIP to address particulate
emissions from cotton ginning operations. The rule currently provides
an equation to calculate allowable emission rates based on number of
standard bales per hour. In addition, table IIIa also provides the
allowable emissions rates. Georgia is removing this table since the
equation in the rule serves the same purpose, and as such this change
is administrative in nature.
    Rule 391-3-1-.02(6)(a), ``Specific Monitoring and Reporting
Requirements for Particular Sources.'' This rule was first incorporated
in the SIP on September 18, 1979 (44 FR 54047), to address sources
subject to any of the Standards of Performance for New Stationary
Sources of or pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 7411, as amended, or National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants of or pursuant to 42
U.S.C. 7412. Sources subject to the rule were required to install
monitoring equipment and begin monitoring within 18 months of the 1979
rulemaking. After the implementation period, new sources must be in
compliance with monitoring requirements upon startup. Georgia is
removing subparagraph 391-3-1-.02(6)(a)(2)(x), as the implementation
period has passed and is now obsolete.
    EPA is approving the aforementioned changes from the July 25, 2014,
submittal into the SIP because the rules are consistent with CAA
section 110. These changes became state effective on August 1, 2013.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, 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 Georgia Rule
391-3-1-.02(2)(ss), ``Gasoline Transport Vehicles and Vapor Collection
Systems,'' effective October 6, 2010, and Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(a),
``General Provisions,'' Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(e), ``Particulate Emission
from Cotton Gins,'' Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(p), ``Particulate Emissions
from Kaolin and Fuller's Earth Processes,'' Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(q),
``Particulate Emissions from Cotton Gins,'' Rule 391-3-1-.02 (2)(gg),
``Kraft Pulp Mills, '' and Rule 391-3-1-.02(6) ''Specific Monitoring,''
effective August 1, 2013. Therefore, these materials have been approved
by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by
EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference by the Director
of the Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\2\
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally
available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 4 Office
(please contact the person identified in the For Further Information
Contact section of this preamble for more information).

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

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving the aforementioned changes to the SIP because they
are consistent with the CFR and the CAA. EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments.
However, in the proposed

rules section of this Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a
separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP
revision should adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective
September 26, 2017 without further notice unless the Agency receives
adverse comments by August 28, 2017.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public
is advised that this rule will be effective on September 26, 2017 and
no further action will be taken on the proposed rule. Please note that
if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 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, these
actions merely approve state law as meeting federal requirements and do
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, these actions:
     Are not significant regulatory actions subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     are 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.);
     do 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);
     do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     are not economically significant regulatory actions based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     are 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
     do 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 26, 2017. 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-56113; File No. SR-NSX-2007-05]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; National Stock Exchange, Inc.;
Order Approving Proposed Rule Change to Modify Chapter VII of the
Exchange's Rules Regarding Suspensions of an ETP Holder by Certain
Exchange Officers

July 20, 2007.

I. Introduction

    On May 9, 2007, the National Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NSX'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') a proposed rule change, pursuant to section 19(b)(1)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder \2\ to modify Chapter VII of the Exchange's rules to provide
that the Chairman of the Exchange's Board of Directors (``Chairman'')
or the Exchange's Chief Regulatory Officer, or their respective
designees, would have the authority to summarily suspend or place
limitations or conditions on an ETP Holder or summarily suspend a
person from access to Exchange services in certain circumstances.
Notice of the proposed rule change was published for comment in the
Federal Register on June 18, 2007.\3\ The Commission received no
comments on the proposal. This order approves the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55893 (June 11,
2007), 72 FR 33551.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    NSX Rule 7.1 currently authorizes the Chairman of the NSX Board of
Directors (``Chairman'') or NSX's President (``President'') to
summarily suspend an ETP Holder, or impose such conditions and
restrictions upon an ETP Holder as are reasonably necessary for the
protection of investors, the Exchange, the creditors, and the customers
of such ETP Holder, if such ETP Holder, among other things, has failed
to perform its contracts, is insolvent, or is in such financial or
operational condition or operating its business in such a manner that
it cannot be permitted to continue in business with safety to its
customers, creditors, and other ETP Holders of the Exchange.\4\ The
Chairman or President may also lift such a suspension without further
proceedings, if appropriate.\5\ NSX Rule 7.6 currently permits the
Chairman or President to, under certain circumstances, summary limit or
prohibit, persons from access to services offered by the Exchange.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See NSX Rule 7.1(a).
    \5\ See NSX Rule 7.1(c).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    NSX proposes to amend Rules 7.1 and 7.6 to authorize the Chairman
or NSX's Chief Regulatory Officer (``CRO''), or their respective
designees, to impose and lift suspensions as described above. NSX's
President would no longer have such authority. The Exchange represents
that the designee for the Chairman would be the Chairman of the
Exchange's Regulatory Oversight Committee (``ROC''), a member of the
ROC, or another independent member of the Exchange's Board of
Directors,\6\ in that order of priority. The designee for the CRO would
be an officer in the Exchange's Regulatory Services Division. The
proposal does not otherwise modify NSX's rules regarding suspension,
including its provisions for review of summary actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ NSX By-Law Section 1.1(I)(1) defines ``Independent
Director'' as a member of the Board that the Board has determined to
have no material relationship with the Exchange or any affiliate of
the Exchange, or any ETP Holder or any affiliate of any ETP Holder,
other than as a member of the Board.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission has reviewed the proposed rule change and finds that
it is consistent with the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to a national securities exchange.\7\ Specifically, the
Commission finds that the proposed rule change furthers the objectives
of section 6(b)(1) \8\ of the Act, which requires the Exchange to be so
organized and have the capacity to be able to carry out the purposes of
the Act and to comply, and to enforce compliance by its members, with
the Act and the rules of the Exchange. In addition, the Commission
finds that the proposed rule change, as amended, is consistent with
section 6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ which requires, among other things, that
the rules of a national securities exchange be designed to promote just
and equitable principles of trade, to remove impediments to and perfect
the mechanism of a free and open market and a national market system,
and, in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ In approving this proposed rule change, the Commission notes
that it has considered the proposed rule's impact on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation. See 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(1).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that the reallocation of authority under
NSX Rules 7.1 and 7.6 from the Chairman and President to the Chairman
and CRO, or their respective designees, is consistent with the Act. The
Commission also believes that the reallocation is designed to provide
for continuity in the event that the Chairman or CRO is unavailable.
The Commission notes that the Exchange's rules governing the review of
suspensions remain unchanged.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\10\ that the proposed rule change (File No. SR-NSX-2007-05) be,
and hereby is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
    \11\ 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12).

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation,
pursuant to delegated authority.\11\

Deputy Secretary.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2021-0014]

Notice of Application for Approval of Discontinuance or
Modification of a Railroad Signal System

    Under part 235 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and 49
U.S.C. 20502(a), this document provides the public notice that on
January 19, 2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS) petitioned the
Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) seeking approval to discontinue
or modify a signal system. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-
2021-0014.
    Applicant: Norfolk Southern Corporation, Tommy A. Phillips, Senior
Director--C&S Operations, 1200 Peachtree Street NE, Atlanta, GA 30309.
    Specifically, NS requests permission to discontinue a traffic
control system (TCS) on the Dry Fork Branch of the Blue Ridge Division,
from milepost (MP) 10.3 to MP 144.4. This segment includes control
points (CPs) Kelly, Mile Branch, Garland, Lester, Atwell, Yukon, Lomax,
Rift, Jacobs Fork, Alpha, Dawson, Beech Fork, Asbury, and ten automatic
signals. The main track between MP 10.3 and MP 144.4 will be converted
to NS Rule 171 operation. Operable approach signals will be placed at
MP 112.4 and MP142.8 in approach to CPs Auville and Dry Fork Branch.
The signaled sidings within the application limits will be made non-
controlled, other than main track. All slide fences within the
application limits will be retired.
    NS states the reason for the proposed discontinuance is that
operations no longer require TCS.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested parties
desire an opportunity for oral comment and a public hearing, they
should notify FRA, in writing, before the end of the comment period and
specify the basis for their request.

Administrative Code (TAC), Chapter 115, Control of Air Pollution from
Volatile Organic Compounds. The State submitted these revisions on
March 4, 2010. These revisions remove the Texas Portable Fuel Container
rule as an ozone control strategy from the Texas SIP for the Control of
Ozone Air Pollution. In the submittal, Texas demonstrates that federal
portable fuel container standards promulgated by EPA in 2007 are
expected to provide equal to or greater emissions reductions than those
resulting from the state regulations. The EPA is proposing to approve
this SIP revision because it is expected that reliance on the more
stringent federal portable fuel container standards will ensure that
emission reductions equivalent to or greater than those in the repealed
Texas portable fuel container regulations will continue to be achieved
in the State of Texas. Accordingly, it is expected that this SIP
revision will not have a negative impact neither on the emission
reductions claimed in the Texas SIP, nor in Texas' attainment of the
NAAQS for ozone. This SIP revision eliminates the redundancy that has
been created with the adoption by EPA of the federal portable fuel
container regulations in 2007. The EPA is proposing to approve these
revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 28, 2011.

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

14 CFR Part 71

[Docket No. FAA-2008-0187; Airspace Docket No. 07-ASO-27]

Modification of Area Navigation Route Q-110 and Jet Route J-73;
Florida

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action extends the length of Area Navigation (RNAV) route
Q-110 and makes a minor realignment of jet route J-73 in Florida. These
modifications support the Florida West Coast Airspace Redesign project.
The extension of Q-110 provides an RNAV route for use by aircraft
transitioning between Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center (ARTCC)
and Jacksonville ARTCC airspace. The extension also assists aircraft in
circumnavigating military airspace associated with the Avon Park Air
Force Range. The realignment of J-73 provides space for the Q-110
extension. The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safe and the
efficient use of the navigable airspace in the western Florida area.

DATES: Effective Date: 0901 UTC, September 25, 2008. The Director of
the Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action
under 1 CFR part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9
and publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paul Gallant, Airspace and Rules
Group, Office of System Operations Airspace and AIM, Federal Aviation
Administration, 800 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20591;
telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On April 17, 2008, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to modify Q-110 and J-73 in
western Florida (73 FR 20844) Airspace Docket No. FAA-

2008-0187. Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on this proposal to
the FAA. No comments were received in response to the proposal.
    In the notice of proposed rulemaking, the FAA indicated its intent
to make an administrative change to the order of the points listed in
the route description of Q-110. However, to be consistent with flight
inspection documentation for Q-110, other than adding the three new
points for the route extension, the order of the listing of points will
not be changed. This has no effect on the alignment or charting of Q-
110.
    Jet routes are published in paragraph 2004, and high altitude RNAV
routes are published in paragraph 2006, of FAA Order 7400.9R signed
August 15, 2007, and effective September 15, 2007, which is
incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The jet route and RNAV route
listed in this document will be published subsequently in the Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by extending the length of RNAV route Q-110 and realigning jet
route J-73 in western Florida. RNAV route Q-110 is extended
southeastward from KPASA, FL (located near Lakeland, FL) to the THNDR,
FL, intersection (located about midway between Fort Myers and West Palm
Beach, FL), adding approximately 115 nautical miles (NM) to the length
of the route. The Q-110 extension provides an RNAV route for use by
aircraft transitioning between Miami ARTCC and Jacksonville ARTCC
airspace and assists aircraft in circumnavigating military airspace
associated with the Avon Park Air Force Range.
    Additionally, the segment of jet route J-73 between the LaBelle,
FL, very high frequency omnidirectional range/tactical navigation aid
(VORTAC) and the Lakeland, FL, VORTAC is realigned by inserting an
intermediate point formed by the intersection of the LaBelle 314 [deg]
True (T) radial and the Lakeland 162 [deg] T radial. Shifting J-73 in
this manner provides airspace to accommodate the Q-110 extension.
    The FAA is taking this action to enhance the safe and the efficient
use of the navigable airspace in the western Florida area. With the
exception of order of points listed in the Q-110 route description,
this amendment is the same as that proposed in the NPRM.
    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.
Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory
action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule''
under Department of Transportation (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 that this rule,
when promulgated, will 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 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 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 modifies an RNAV route and jet route in Florida.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 311a, 311b, and 311k. 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.

through FERC's homepage using the eLibrary link. For user assistance,
contact<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll-free at<PHONE_NUMBER> or
for TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Miller may be reached by
telephone at<PHONE_NUMBER>, by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>, and by e-mail at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The information collected under the
requirements of FERC-538 ``Gas Pipeline Certificates: Initial Service
(OMB No. 1902-0061) is used by the Commission to implement the
statutory provisions of sections 7(a), 10(a) and 16 of the Natural Gas
Act (NGA) (Pub. L. 75-688) (15 U.S.C. 717-717w). The reporting
requirements contained in this collection of information are used by
the Commission to determine whether a distributor applicant can
economically construct and manage its facilities. Requests are made to
the Commission by individuals or entities to have the Commission, by
order, direct a natural gas pipeline to extend or improve its
transportation facilities, and sell gas to an individual, entity or
municipality for the specific purpose indicated in the order, and to
extend the pipeline's transportation facilities to communities
immediately adjacent to the municipality's facilities or to territories
served by the natural gas company. In addition, the Commission reviews
the supply data to determine if the pipeline company can provide the
service without curtailing certain of its existing customers. The flow
data and market data are also used to evaluate existing and future
customer requirements on the system to find if sufficient capacity will
be available. Likewise, the cost of facilities and the rate data are
used to evaluate the financial impact of the cost of the project to
both the pipeline company and its customers. The Commission implements
these filing requirements in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
under 18 CFR part 156.
    Action: The Commission is requesting a three-year extension of the
current expiration date, with no changes to the existing collection of
data.
    Burden Statement: Public reporting burden for this collection is
estimated as:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Number of          Number of       Average burden
   respondents       responses per        hours per       Total annual
     annually          respondent         response        burden hours
(1)                            (2)                (3)       (1)x(2)x(3)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
              1                  1                240               240
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The estimated total cost to respondents is $13,537 (240 hours
divided by 2,080 hours per employee per year times $117,321 per year
average salary (including overhead) per employee = $13,537 (rounded
off)).
    The reporting burden includes the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended to generate, maintain, retain, disclose, or provide
the information including: (1) Reviewing instructions; (2) developing,
acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the
purposes of collecting, validating, verifying, processing, maintaining,
disclosing and providing information; (3) adjusting the existing ways
to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
(4) training personnel to respond to a collection of information; (5)
searching data sources; (6) completing and reviewing the collection of
information; and (7) transmitting or otherwise disclosing the
information.
    The estimate of cost for respondents is based upon salaries for
professional and clerical support, as well as direct and indirect
overhead costs. Direct costs include all costs directly attributable to
providing this information, such as administrative costs and the cost
for information technology. Indirect or overhead costs are costs
incurred by an organization in support of its mission. These costs
apply to activities which benefit the whole organization rather than
any one particular function or activity.
    Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the proposed 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 of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses.

Louisiana: Final Authorization of State-Initiated Changes and
Incorporation by Reference of State Hazardous Waste Management Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: During a review of Louisiana's regulations, EPA identified a
variety of State-initiated changes to Louisiana's hazardous waste
program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended
(RCRA), for which the State had not previously sought authorization.
EPA proposes to authorize the State for the program changes. In
addition, the EPA proposes to codify in the regulations entitled
``Approved State Hazardous Waste Management Programs'', Louisiana's
authorized hazardous waste program. The EPA will incorporate by
reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) those provisions
of the State regulations that are authorized and that EPA will enforce
under RCRA.

DATES: Send written comments by September 7, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to Alima Patterson, Region 6, Regional
Authorization Coordinator, or Julia Banks, Codification Coordinator
(6PD-O), Multimedia Planning and Permitting Division at the address
shown below. You can examine copies of the materials that form the
basis for this authorization and incorporation by reference during
normal business hours at the following location: EPA Region 6, 1445

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alima Patterson or Julia Banks at
(214) 665-8533 or<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of
this Federal Register, the EPA is authorizing the changes to the
Louisiana program, and codifying and incorporating by reference the
State's hazardous waste program as a direct final rule. The EPA did not
make a proposal prior to the immediate final rule because we believe
these actions are not controversial and do not expect comments that
oppose them. We have explained the reasons for this authorization and
incorporation by reference in the preamble to the direct final rule.
Unless we get written comments which oppose this authorization and
incorporation by reference during the comment period, the direct final
rule will become effective on the date it establishes, and we will not
take further action on this proposal. If we get comments that oppose
these actions, we will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not
take effect. We will then respond to public comments in a later final
rule based on this proposal. You may not have another opportunity for
comment. If you want to comment on this action, you must do so at this
time. For additional information, please see the direct final rule
published in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal
Register.

    Authority:  This action is issued under the authority of
sections 2002(a), 3006, and 7004(b) of the Solid Waste Disposal Act,
as amended, 42 U.S.C. 6912(a), 6926, and 6974(b).
