comment period for the proposed rule published in the Federal Register
of October 18, 2016 (81 FR 71661), is extended. Written comments must
be received on or before December 19, 2016.

ADDRESSES: The public hearing will be held on November 17, 2016, at the
Hartman Community Center, 9311 East Avenue P, Houston, Texas 77012. The
hearing will convene at 2:00 p.m. (Central Time) and will conclude at
8:00 p.m. (Central Time). The EPA will make every effort to accommodate
all speakers. The EPA's Web site for the rulemaking, which includes the

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62695; File No. SR-EDGX-2010-11]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; EDGX Exchange, Inc.; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change To Amend
EDGX Rule 3.13

August 11, 2010.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(the ``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given
that, on August 3, 2010, EDGX Exchange, Inc. (``EDGX'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and II
below, which Items have been prepared by the self-regulatory
organization. The Commission is publishing this notice to solicit
comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend EDGX Rule 3.13 to conform it with
FINRA Rule 5230 in order (i) for FINRA

to effectively examine for the rule pursuant to a Rule 17d-2 agreement
that the Exchange has entered into with FINRA; and (ii) to modernize
its terms and clarify its scope. The text of the proposed rule change
is available on the Exchange's Web site at http://www.directedge.com,
on the Commission's Web site at http://www.sec.gov, at the principal
office of the Exchange, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    EDGX Exchange, Inc. has entered into a Rule 17d-2 \3\ agreement
with FINRA pursuant to which FINRA surveils violations of rules in
common between FINRA and EDGX. This agreement covers common members of
EDGX and FINRA and allocates to FINRA regulatory responsibility, with
respect to common members, for the following: (i) Examination of common
members of EDGX and FINRA for compliance with Federal securities laws,
rules and regulations and rules of the Exchange that the Exchange has
certified as identical or substantially similar to FINRA rules; (ii)
investigation of common members of EDGX and FINRA for violations of
Federal securities laws, rules or regulations, or Exchange rules that
the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially identical to a
FINRA rule; and (iii) enforcement of compliance by common members with
the Federal securities laws, rules and regulations, and the rules of
EDGX that the Exchange has certified as identical or substantially
similar to FINRA rules.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 17 CFR 240.17d-2.
    \4\ See Securities and Exchange Release No. 61698 (March 12,
2010), 75 FR 13151 (March 18, 2010) (approving File No. 10-196).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGX Rule 3.13 is identical to NASD Rule 3330, which was
subsequently re-numbered and amended to be FINRA Rule 5230.\5\ FINRA,
however, recently incorporated additional exceptions to this rule in
order to ``modernize its terms and clarify its scope.'' \6\ After a
consideration of the merits of such rule change, including the benefits
of ensuring that Rule 3.13 would continue to be a common rule covered
under the Exchange's Rule 17d-2 agreement with FINRA, EDGX is proposing
to amend its Rule 3.13 to comport it with FINRA Rule 5230.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities and Exchange Release No. 60648 (September 10,
2009), 74 FR 47837 (September 17, 2009) (SR-FINRA-2009-048).
    \6\ See Securities and Exchange Release No. 60648 (September 10,
2009), 74 FR 47837 (September 17, 2009) (SR-FINRA-2009-048).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGX Rule 3.13 currently provides that no member may, ``directly or
indirectly, give, permit to be given, or offer to give, anything of
value to any person for the purpose of influencing or rewarding the
action of such person in connection with the publication or circulation
in any newspaper, investment service, or similar publication, of any
matter which has, or is intended to have, an effect upon the market
price of any security. * * * '' The rule includes an exception for any
matter that is ``clearly distinguishable as paid advertising.''
    EDGX agrees with FINRA's reasoning for proposing changes to its
Rule 5230. Therefore, EDGX is proposing two changes to EDGX Rule 3.13
to modernize its terms and clarify its scope.\7\ First, the proposed
rule change updates the list of media to which the rule refers since
Rule 3.13 refers only to matters published or circulated in any
``newspaper, investment service, or similar publication.'' The proposed
rule change updates this language to include electronic and other types
of media, including magazines, Web sites, and television programs.
Second, the proposed rule change expands the exceptions in the rule
beyond paid advertising to also include compensation paid in connection
with research reports and communications published in reliance on
Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933.\8\ EDGX is proposing these
changes to clarify that the prohibitions in the rule are not intended
to cover compensation paid for publications that are explicitly
permitted pursuant to other rules. For example, Rule 3.13 could be read
to prohibit a member from paying for a third-party research report if
the report affected the market price of a security. However, EDGX does
not believe that the rule should be read to prohibit compensation paid
in connection with the publication of information that is specifically
permitted pursuant to Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933,
provided the required disclosures are made.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ The proposed rule changes also changes the title of the rule
to ``Payments Involving Publications that Influence the Market Price
of a Security.''
    \8\ Section 17(b) of the Securities Act of 1933 provides that no
person may ``publish, give publicity to, or circulate any * * *
communication which, though not purporting to offer a security for
sale, describes such security for a consideration received or to be
received, directly or indirectly, from an issuer, underwriter, or
dealer, without fully disclosing the receipt, whether past or
prospective, of such consideration and the amount thereof.'' 15
U.S.C. 77q(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with the provisions of Section 6 of the Act,\9\ in general, and with
Section 6(b)(5) of the Act \10\ in particular, which requires, among
other things, that Exchange rules must be designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and
equitable principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors
and the public interest. EDGX believes that the proposed rule change
will clarify the scope of the rule as well as allow FINRA to be able to
examine for it under a Rule 17d-2 agreement since it will be identical
to FINRA Rule 5230, as proposed to be amended.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f.
    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The proposed rule change does not impose any burden on competition
that is not necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of
the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any unsolicited written comments from members or other interested
parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \11\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\12\
Because the foregoing proposed rule change: (i) Does not significantly
affect the protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) does
not impose any significant burden on

competition; and (iii) by its terms, does not become operative for 30
days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as the
Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, it has become effective pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \13\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
thereunder.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \14\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)(iii)
requires the self-regulatory organization to submit to the
Commission written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule
change, along with a brief description and text of the proposed rule
change, at least five business days prior to the date of filing of
the proposed rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the
Commission. The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2020-P-2304]

Determination That Sodium Chloride 14.6% Solution for Injection,
50 Milliequivalent/20 Milliliters, in Plastic Containers, Was Not
Withdrawn From Sale for Reasons of Safety or Effectiveness

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) has
determined that Sodium Chloride 14.6% solution for injection, 50
milliequivalent (mEq)/20 milliliters (mL), in plastic containers, was
not withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This
determination will allow FDA to approve abbreviated new drug
applications (ANDAs) for sodium chloride 14.6% solution for injection,
50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, if all other legal and regulatory
requirements are met.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ayako Sato, Center for Drug Evaluation
and Research, Food and Drug Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave.,
Bldg. 51, Rm. 6206, Silver Spring, MD 20993-0002,<PHONE_NUMBER>,
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1984, Congress enacted the Drug Price
Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98-417)
(the 1984 amendments), which authorized the approval of duplicate
versions of drug products under an ANDA procedure. ANDA applicants
must, with certain exceptions, show that the drug for which they are
seeking approval contains the same active ingredient in the same
strength and dosage form as the ``listed drug,'' which is a version of
the drug that was previously approved. ANDA applicants do not have to
repeat the extensive clinical testing otherwise necessary to gain
approval of a new drug application (NDA).
    The 1984 amendments include what is now section 505(j)(7) of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(j)(7)), which
requires FDA to publish a list of all approved drugs. FDA publishes
this list as part of the ``Approved Drug Products With Therapeutic
Equivalence Evaluations,'' which is known generally as the ``Orange
Book.'' Under FDA regulations, drugs are removed from the list if the
Agency withdraws or suspends approval of the drug's NDA or ANDA for
reasons of safety or effectiveness or if FDA determines that the listed
drug was withdrawn from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness (21
CFR 314.162).
    A person may petition the Agency to determine, or the Agency may
determine on its own initiative, whether a listed drug was withdrawn
from sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness. This determination
may be made at any time after the drug has been withdrawn from sale,
but must be made prior to approving an ANDA that refers to the listed
drug (Sec.  314.161 (21 CFR 314.161)). FDA may not approve an ANDA that
does not refer to a listed drug.
    Sodium chloride 14.6% solution for injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in
plastic containers, is the subject of NDA 18897, held by Hospira Inc.,
and initially approved on July 20, 1984. Sodium chloride 14.6% solution
for injection is indicated for use as an electrolyte replenisher in
parenteral fluid therapy.
    In a communication dated September 6, 2019, Hospira Inc. notified
FDA that sodium chloride 14.6% solution for injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in
plastic containers, was being discontinued, and FDA moved the drug
product to the ``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange
Book.
    Fresenius Kabi USA, LLC submitted a citizen petition dated December
16, 2020 (Docket No. FDA-2020-P-2304), under 21 CFR 10.30, requesting
that the Agency determine whether sodium chloride 14.6% solution for
injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, was withdrawn from sale
for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    After considering the citizen petition and reviewing Agency records
and based on the information we have at this time, FDA has determined
under Sec.  314.161 that sodium chloride 14.6% solution for injection,
50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, was not withdrawn for reasons of
safety or effectiveness. The petitioner has identified no data or other
information suggesting that sodium chloride 14.6% solution for
injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, was withdrawn for
reasons of safety or effectiveness. We have carefully reviewed our
files for records concerning the withdrawal of sodium chloride 14.6%
solution for injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, from sale.
We have also independently evaluated relevant literature and data for
possible postmarketing adverse events. We have reviewed the available
evidence and determined that this drug product was not withdrawn from
sale for reasons of safety or effectiveness.
    Accordingly, the Agency will continue to list sodium chloride 14.6%
solution for injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, in the
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' section of the Orange Book. The
``Discontinued Drug Product List'' delineates, among other items, drug
products that have been

discontinued from marketing for reasons other than safety or
effectiveness. ANDAs that refer to sodium chloride 14.6% solution for
injection, 50 mEq/20 mL, in plastic containers, may be approved by the
Agency as long as they meet all other legal and regulatory requirements
for the approval of ANDAs. If FDA determines that labeling for this
drug product should be revised to meet current standards, the Agency
will advise ANDA applicants to submit such labeling.

    Dated: April 20, 2021.

Acting Principal Associate Commissioner for Policy.

RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700,
-700C, -800, -900, and -900ER Series Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Model 737-600, -700, -700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series
airplanes. This proposed AD would require inspecting to determine the
clearance and any wire bundle damage between wire bundle W443 and the
left forward rudder quadrant, followed by adjusting the minimum
clearance between the wire bundle and the left forward rudder quadrant,
and repairing any wire bundle damage. This proposed AD results from
reports of contact between wire bundle W443 and the left forward rudder
quadrant. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct contact
between the wire bundle and the left forward rudder quadrant. Damage to
the wire bundle could result in uncommanded stabilizer trim and
autopilot disconnects due to shorted wires from contact between the
wire bundle and the left forward rudder quadrant, potentially affecting
the capability of the flight crew during high work load and
consequently reducing control of the airplane. Restricted free movement
of the rudder quadrant at full right rudder travel would reduce
controllability of the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by March 4, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Comments Invited

    We invite you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this proposed AD. Send your comments to an address
listed under the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2010-1313;
Directorate Identifier 2010-NM-158-AD'' at the beginning of your

Discussion

    We have received reports of interference between the left forward
rudder quadrant and wire bundle W443 during full right rudder travel.
This condition was found on an airplane during a pre-flight check when
a pilot reported interference during full-right rudder travel. Twenty
airplanes out of 32 that were inspected were found to have non-
conforming installations for wire bundle W443, which increase the
likelihood for interference during full right rudder movement.
Investigation showed that while the interference condition was not
present on the 20 airplanes, the wire bundle was installed with too
much slack between clamps. Restricted control surface movement can
occur from insufficient clearance between the wire bundle and the left
forward rudder quadrant, and if the wire bundle is damaged, uncommanded
stabilizer or autopilot disconnects could occur due to shorted wires
from contact between the wire bundle and the left forward rudder
quadrant, potentially affecting the capability of the flight crew
during high work load and consequently reducing control of the
airplane. Restricted free movement of the rudder quadrant at full right
rudder travel, if not corrected, would reduce controllability of the
airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-27-
1282, Revision 1, dated June 14, 2010. The service bulletin describes
procedures for a detailed inspection of wire bundle W443 for damage and
repairing any damage, and measuring and adjusting the minimum clearance

between the wire bundle and the left forward rudder quadrant.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.
This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified in
the service information described previously

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 870 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this proposed AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866,
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

    1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

The Boeing Company: Docket No. FAA-2010-1313; Directorate Identifier
2010-NM-158-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by March 4, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to The Boeing Company Model 737-600, -700, -
700C, -800, -900, and -900ER series airplanes, certificated in any
category, as identified in Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin
737-27-1282, Revision 1, dated June 14, 2010.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 27: Flight
controls.

Unsafe Condition

    (e) This AD results from reports of contact between wire bundle
W443 and the left forward rudder quadrant. We are proposing this AD
to detect and correct contact between the wire bundle and the left
forward rudder quadrant. Damage to the wire bundle could result in
uncommanded stabilizer trim and autopilot disconnects due to shorted
wires from contact between the wire bundle and the left forward
rudder quadrant, potentially affecting the capability of the flight
crew during high work load and consequently reducing control of the
airplane. Restricted free movement of the rudder quadrant at full
right rudder travel would reduce controllability of the airplane.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Wire Bundle W443 Inspection and Clearance Measurement

    (g) Within 60 months after the effective date of this AD: Do a
detailed inspection of wire bundle W443 for damage and measure for
sufficient clearance in accordance with Part 1 of the Work
Instructions of Boeing Special Attention Service Bulletin 737-27-
1282, Revision 1, dated June 14, 2010. If the wire bundle is
undamaged, and sufficient clearance exists, no further action is
required by this AD.

Wire Bundle W443 Undamaged: Clearance Adjustment

    (h) If the clearance of wire bundle W443 in the inspection
required by paragraph (g) of this AD is found to be insufficient,
before further flight adjust the wire bundle clearance in accordance
with Part 2 of the Work Instructions of Boeing Special Attention
Service Bulletin 737-27-1282, Revision 1, dated June 14, 2010.

Wire Bundle W443 Damaged: Repair, and Clearance Adjustment

    (i) If wire bundle W443 is found to be damaged in the inspection
required by paragraph (g) of this AD, before further flight repair
the damaged wire bundle and adjust the wire bundle clearance in
accordance with Part 3 of the Work Instructions of Boeing Special
Attention Service Bulletin 737-27-1282, Revision 1, dated June 14,
2010.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
District of Columbia; Emissions Statement Certification for the 2015
Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision formally submitted
by the District of Columbia Department of Energy and the Environment
(DOEE). Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), a state's SIP must include an
emission statement

regulation that requires stationary sources in ozone nonattainment
areas classified as marginal or above to report annual emissions of
nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
This SIP revision provides the District's certification that its
existing emissions statement program satisfies the emissions statement
requirements of the CAA for the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). EPA is proposing to approve the District's emissions
statement program certification for the 2015 ozone NAAQS as a SIP
revision in accordance with the requirements of the CAA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Under the CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for criteria pollutants in
order to protect human health and the environment. In response to
scientific evidence linking ozone exposure to adverse health effects,
EPA promulgated the first ozone NAAQS, the 0.12 part per million (ppm)
1-hour ozone NAAQS, in 1979. See 44 FR 8202 (February 8, 1979). The CAA
requires EPA to review and reevaluate the NAAQS every five years in
order to consider updated information regarding the effects of the
criteria pollutants on human health and the environment. On July 18,
1997, EPA promulgated a revised ozone NAAQS, referred to as the 1997
ozone NAAQS, of 0.08 ppm averaged over eight hours. 62 FR 38856. This
8-hour ozone NAAQS was determined to be more protective of public
health than the previous 1979 1-hour ozone NAAQS. In 2008, EPA
strengthened the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.08 to 0.075 ppm. See 73 FR
16436 (March 27, 2008). In 2015, EPA further lowered the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS from 0.075 ppm to 0.070 ppm. The 0.070 ppm standard is referred
to as the 2015 ozone NAAQS. See 80 FR 65452 (October 26, 2015).
    On June 4, 2018 and July 25, 2018, EPA designated nonattainment
areas for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. 83 FR 25776 and 83 FR 35136. Effective
August 3, 2018 (83 FR 25776, June 4, 2018), the Washington, DC-MD-VA
area was designated as marginal nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
See 40 CFR 81.309. Section 182 of the CAA identifies plan submissions
and requirements for ozone nonattainment areas. Specifically, CAA
section 182(a)(3)(B) requires that states develop and submit, as a
revision to their SIP, rules which establish annual emission reporting
requirements for certain stationary sources. Sources that are within
ozone nonattainment areas must annually report the actual emissions of
NOX and VOC to the state. However, states may waive this
requirement for sources that emit under 25 tons per year (tpy) of
NOX or VOC if the state provides an inventory of emissions
from such class or category of sources as required by CAA sections 172
and 182. See CAA section 182(a)(3)(B)(ii).
    EPA published guidance on source emissions statements in a July
1992 memorandum titled, ``Guidance on the Implementation of an Emission
Statement Program'' \1\ and in a March 14, 2006 memorandum titled,
``Emission Statement Requirements Under 8-hour Ozone NAAQS
Implementation'' (2006 memorandum).\2\ In addition, on December 6,
2018, EPA issued a final rule addressing a range of nonattainment area
SIP requirements for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, including the emission
statement requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) (2018 final rule).
83 FR 62998, codified at 40 CFR part 51, subpart CC. The 2006
memorandum clarified that the emissions statement requirement of CAA
section 182(a)(3)(B) was applicable to all areas designated
nonattainment for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and classified as marginal or
above under subpart 2, part D, title I of the CAA. Per EPA's 2018 final
rule, the emissions statement requirement also applies to all areas
designated nonattainment for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. 83 FR 62998, 63023
(December 6, 2018).

    \1\ July 1992 memorandum titled, ``Guidance on the
Implementation of an Emission Statement Program is available online

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

    According to the preamble to EPA's 2018 final rule, most areas that
are required to have an emissions statement program for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS already have one in place due to a nonattainment designation for
an earlier ozone NAAQS. 83 FR 62998, 63001 (December 6, 2018). EPA's
2018 final rule states that, ``Many air agencies already have
regulations in place to address certain nonattainment area planning
requirements due to nonattainment designations for a prior ozone NAAQS.
Air agencies should review any existing regulation that was previously
approved by the EPA to determine whether it is sufficient to fulfill
obligations triggered by the revised ozone NAAQS.'' Id. In cases where
an existing emissions statement rule is still adequate to meet the
emissions statement requirement under the 2015 ozone NAAQS, states may
provide the rationale for that determination to EPA in a written
statement for approval into the SIP to meet the requirements of CAA
section 182(a)(3)(B). 83 FR 62998, 63002 (December 6, 2018). In this
statement, states should identify how the emissions statement
requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) are met by their existing
emissions statement rule. Id. In summary, the District can submit, as a
formal revision to its SIP, a statement certifying that the District's
existing emissions statement program

satisfies the requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) and covers the
District's portion of the Washington, DC-MD-VA nonattainment area for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS.
    As additional background, on July 12, 2019, EPA approved a revision
to the District's SIP which corrected the citation to the District of
Columbia Municipal Regulations (DCMR) where the requirement for
stationary sources to submit emissions statements for NOX
and VOC are found. 84 FR 27202 (June 12, 2019). The District's emission
statement regulation is currently found at 20 DCMR section 500.9.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    On June 4, 2020, the District, through DOEE, submitted as a formal
SIP revision, a statement certifying that the District's existing SIP-
approved emissions statement program covers the District's portion of
the Washington, DC-MD-VA nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone NAAQS
and is at least as stringent as the requirements of CAA section
182(a)(3)(B). In its submittal, the District states that 20 DCMR
section 500.9 contains emissions reporting requirements consistent with
CAA section 182(a)(3)(B)(i), and that 20 DCMR section 500.9 is approved
into the District's SIP. See 40 CFR 52.2420(c). EPA first approved the
District's emissions statements requirements, now found at 20 DCMR
section 500.9, into the District's SIP on May 26, 1995 (60 FR
27944).\3\ See also 40 CFR 52.470.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 20 DCMR sections 500.4 through 500.6 were also approved into
the District's SIP on January 26, 1995 (60 FR 5134) and October 27,
1999 (64 FR 57777), respectively. These provisions concern reporting
requirements related to the transfer of gasoline products.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA's review of the District's submittal finds that the District's
existing, SIP-approved emissions statement program at 20 DCMR section
500.9 satisfies the emission statement requirements of CAA section
182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The District's regulation
requires the owner of any stationary source located in the District
that emits 25 tpy or more of VOC or NOX to submit an
emissions statement to the Mayor by April 15 of each year for the
emissions discharged during the previous calendar year. Emissions
statements are required to be prepared and submitted in accordance with
20 DCMR section 500.9.
    These emissions statements are required to be submitted annually
for the previous calendar year and, at a minimum, must contain the
following: (1) Certification that the information in the statement is
accurate to the best knowledge of the individual certifying the
statement as well as the certifying individual's name and contact
information; (2) source identification information including name,
physical location, mailing address of the facility, latitude and
longitude, and standard industrial classification code(s); (3)
operating information including percentage annual throughput by season,
days per week on the normal operating schedule, hours per day during
the normal operating schedule, and hours per year during the normal
operating schedule; (4) process rate data including annual process rate
and peak ozone season daily process rate; (5) control equipment
information; and (6) emissions information including, but not limited
to, estimated actual emissions of NOX and VOC in tpy and
pounds per typical ozone season day. These reporting requirements in 20
DCMR section 500.9 meet the requirements of CAA section
182(a)(3)(B)(i).
    As allowed by CAA section 182(a)(3)(B)(ii), the District has waived
the emissions reporting requirement for stationary sources emitting
less than 25 tpy of NOX or VOCs because the District
includes these emissions in reports to EPA. CAA section
182(a)(3)(B)(ii) allows the State to waive the application of clause
(i) to any class or category of stationary sources which emit less than
25 tons per year of VOC or NOX if the State, in its
submissions under subparagraphs (1) or (3)(A), provides an inventory of
emissions from such class or category of sources, based on the use of
the emission factors established by the Administrator or other methods
acceptable to the Administrator.
    As noted in the District's June 4, 2020 submittal, pursuant to the
Air Emissions Reporting Requirements rule at 40 CFR part 51, the
District is required to submit emissions inventories for criteria
pollutants to EPA's Emissions Inventory System (EIS), and that sources
emitting less than 25 tpy of NOX or VOC are included in
these inventories as area sources. The submission also notes that
emissions from these sources are calculated using emission factors
approved by the Administrator. These small stationary sources are
therefore addressed in accordance with CAA section 182(a)(3)(B)(ii).
    Therefore, EPA has determined that the District's existing
emissions statement program, as set forth at 20 DCMR section 500.9,
which is currently in the District's SIP, and the District's reporting
for sources emitting less than 25 tpy of NOX or VOC, meet
the emissions statement requirements in CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS. EPA is proposing to approve, as a SIP revision,
the District's June 4, 2020 emissions statement program certification
as meeting the requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015
ozone NAAQS.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the District's SIP revision submitted
on June 4, 2020, which certifies that District's existing SIP-approved
emissions statement program under 20 DCMR section 500.9 satisfies the
requirements of CAA section 182(a)(3)(B) for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. EPA
is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document.
These comments will be considered before taking final action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the EPA 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 proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' 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);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because it is not a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866.
     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 proposed rulemaking, in which EPA is proposing
approval of the District's certification that its existing emission
statement program satisfies the emission statement requirements of the
CAA for the 2015 ozone NAAQS, 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.

[Docket No. FAA-2021-1020; Project Identifier AD-2021-00864-T]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; The Boeing Company Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD)
for certain The Boeing Company Model 777 airplanes. This proposed AD
was prompted by a report of the loss of the nuts at all four fastener
locations common to the outboard flap inboard support rear spar
attachment fittings, which affects the retention feature of the
fasteners and leaves the fasteners susceptible to migrating out of the
joint. This proposed AD would require repetitive detailed inspections
for discrepancies of the fasteners and shim of the wing rear spar at
certain outboard flap supports, a detailed inspection for damage of the
shim, flap support mechanism, and wing lower skin; installing new
fasteners and shims; and repair or replacement of damaged parts. The
FAA is proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by February
11, 2022.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR

    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments received, without change, to
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The agency will also post a report summarizing each
substantive verbal contact received about this NPRM.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and

actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Luis
Cortez, Aerospace Engineer, Airframe Section, FAA, Seattle ACO Branch,
2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198; phone and fax: (206) 231-
3958; email: [email protected]. Any commentary that the FAA
receives which is not specifically designated as CBI will be placed in
the public docket for this rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA has received a report of the loss of the nuts at all four
fastener locations common to the outboard flap inboard support rear
spar attachment fittings, which affects the retention feature of the
fasteners and leaves the fasteners susceptible to migrating out of the
joint. These conditions, if not addressed, could result in the
inability of the outboard flap support to sustain limit load, and
potential loss of the outboard flap. Loss of the fastener retention
feature in the rear spar attachment may lead to a severed joint at the
forward attachment point, leading to separation of the support fitting.
Contact with the airplane from a departed outboard flap or support
fitting could cause damage and consequent reduced controllability and
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Boeing Alert Requirements Bulletin 777-57A0123 RB,
dated July 8, 2021. This service information specifies procedures for
repetitive detailed inspections for discrepancies (missing nuts, loose
nuts, thread protrusion, shim migration, and gapping between the shim
and wing lower skin or between the shim and flap support fitting) of
the fasteners and shim of the wing rear spar at outboard flap support
numbers 1, 2, 7, and 8, a detailed inspection for damage of the shim,
flap support mechanism, and wing lower skin; installing new fasteners
and shims; and repair or replacement of damaged parts. Installation of
the new fasteners and shim would eliminate the need for the repetitive
inspections. This service information is reasonably available because
the interested parties have access to it through their normal course of
business or by the means identified in ADDRESSES.

Proposed AD Requirements in this NPRM

    This proposed AD would require accomplishing the actions specified
in the service information already described, except for any
differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of this
proposed AD. For information on the procedures and compliance times,
see this service information at https://www.regulations.gov by
searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2021-1020.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 280 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated costs

 parts.                             Up to $3,145.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data on which to base the cost
estimates for the on-condition repairs specified in this proposed AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General requirements.
Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with promoting safe flight
of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing regulations for
practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator finds necessary
for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority because it addresses an unsafe condition that is likely to
exist or develop on products identified in this rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have 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.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2021-0019]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that on January 26,
2021, Norfolk Southern Corporation (NS), petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49
CFR part 236, Rules, Standards, and Instructions Governing the
Installation, Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of Signal and Train
Control Systems, Devices, and Appliances. FRA assigned the petition
Docket Number FRA-2021-0019.
    Specifically, NS requests relief from 49 CFR 236.566, Locomotive of
each train operating in train stop, train control or cab signal
territory; equipped. The relief is requested for the Fort Wayne Line in
the Keystone Division, from milepost (MP) PC 0.0 to MP PC 28.1. NS
seeks to operate positive train control (PTC) equipped locomotives,
that are not equipped with cab signal system equipment, in cab signal
system territory.
    NS states that PTC-equipped locomotives are to be used in
switching, transfer service, with or without cars, manifest trains,
work trains, wreck trains, ballast cleaners to and from work, and
engines and rail diesel cars moving to and from shops with all
movements made at timetable speed. If a PTC-equipped locomotive
experiences an en route failure, then 49 CFR 236.1029, PTC system use
and failures, would apply.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at http://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.
    All communications concerning these proceedings should identify the
appropriate docket number and may be submitted by any of the following
methods:
     Website: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments.

by the Coast Guard patrol commander (PATCOM). The PATCOM may restrict
vessel operation within the regulated area to vessels having particular
operating characteristics.
    Vessels permitted to enter this regulated area must operate at a
no-wake speed and in a manner that will not endanger race participants
or any other craft.
    The PATCOM may direct the anchoring, mooring, or movement of any
vessel within this regulated area. A succession of sharp, short signals
by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under the direction
of the PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels so signaled
shall stop and shall comply with the orders of the PATCOM. Failure to
do so may result in expulsion from the area, a Notice of Violation for
failure to comply, or both.
    If it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property,
the PATCOM may terminate the marine event or the operation of any
vessel within the regulated area.
    In accordance with the general regulations in Sec.  100.35 of this

given by the Coast Guard's on-scene representative or by event
representatives during the event.
    The ``on-scene representative'' of the Captain of the Port Detroit
is any Coast Guard commissioned, warrant, or petty officer who has been
designated by the Captain of the Port Detroit to act on his behalf. The
on-scene representative of the Captain of the Port Detroit will be
aboard either a Coast Guard or Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel. The
Captain of the Port Detroit or his designated on scene representative
may be contacted via VHF Channel 16.
    The rules in this section shall not apply to vessels participating
in the event or to government vessels patrolling the regulated area in
the performance of their assigned duties.
    This document is issued under authority of 33 CFR 100.35 and 5
