 Checklist 241  -  Management Standards for Hazardous Waste Pharmaceuticals and Amendment to the P075 Listing for Nicotine was published as final in the South Carolina State Register on November 27, 2020.

 Checklist 242  -  Increased Recycling: Adding Aerosol Cans to the Universal Waste Regulations was published as final in the South Carolina State Register on May 28, 2021.

 Checklist 243  -  Modernizing Ignitable Liquids Determinations was published as final in the South Carolina State Register on May 27, 2022.

Attachment A includes the completed Checklists for the rules noted above.
Attachment B includes Notices of Final Regulation for each Checklist. The Notices of Final Regulation contain underline/strikethrough language for each rule in order to facilitate EPA's review of the authorization package.

Partial Authorization
EPA granted partial authorization of several Checklists included in the previous authorization package submitted by the Department on April 8, 2020. The Checklists for which partial authorization was granted include:
 207  -  Modification of the Hazardous Waste Manifest System

 233B - Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste - Legitimacy-related Provisions, Including Prohibition of Sham Recycling, Definition of Legitimacy, Definition of Contained. Corrections were needed at R.61-79.261.2(a)(2)(ii).

 233D2 - Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste - 2008 DSW Exclusions and Non-Waste Determinations, Including Revisions From 2015 DSW Final Rule. Corrections were needed at R.61-79.261.2(c)(4) Table 1 and R.61-79.270.42 Entries 9 and 10 Section A (Appendix 1).

 233E - Revisions to the Definition of Solid Waste - Remanufacturing Exclusion. Corrections were needed at R.61-79.261.2(c)(4) Table 1.

 237 - Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule. Corrections were needed at R.61-79.261.420(g), R.61-79.262.14(a)(5)(iii), and R.61-79.262.41(b).
In addition to the corrections noted above, as noted in the footnotes on page 56205 of the Federal Register, Vol. 85, No. 177, dated September 11, 2020, the Department has corrected the table found at R.61-79.266.80(a), the address listed in R.61-79.261.42(a)(2), and the reference to R.61-79.260.2(d)(1).
Because corrections have been made to the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, the Department is requesting full authorization for the Checklists 207, 233B, 233D2, 233E and 237.
Please note the Department requested authorization in the previous authorization package for Checklist 212 - National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP): Final Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Phase I Final Replacement Standards and Phase II) and Checklist 217 - NESHAP: Final Standards for Hazardous Waste Combustors (Phase I Final Replacement Standards and Phase II) Amendments; however, because the Department had previously chosen not to seek authorization to permit Boilers and Industrial Furnaces, this request was made in error. Please see Footnote 3 in the Federal Register notice published at Volume 85, Number 177, page 56201, dated September 11, 2020. Therefore, the Department is not requesting authorization for Checklists 212 and 217 in this package.
Included as Attachment C to this authorization package is a PDF version of the May 2022 South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations. In addition, there are two online versions of the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations, one in Microsoft Word and the other in PDF. Both versions may be found at this link: https://www.scstatehouse.gov/coderegs/statmast.php  Please see Chapter 61-79 Parts 1 and 2. Please note the online versions of the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations may not reflect the most recent revisions.
Specific Attorney General certification is not required since the Department of Health and Environmental Control has been authorized to implement the hazardous waste program in lieu of the EPA and follows all procedures as prescribed in the most recent South Carolina  -  EPA Memorandum of Agreement, RCRA Hazardous Waste Program, dated September 10, 2015. A copy of this Memorandum of Agreement is included as Attachment D.

Administrative Procedures Act
In 2006 and 2010, revisions of the administrative process regarding appeals were made (Act 387 of 2006, Act 278 of 2010 and codified at South Carolina Code Ann. Section 44-1-60). The following appeal process became a permanent part of the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Regulations (R.61-79) on June 27, 2008, and reads as follows:
      124.19(a) A Department decision involving the issuance, denial, renewal, modification, suspension, or revocation of a permit, license, certificate or certification may be appealed by an affected person with standing pursuant to applicable law, including S.C. Code Title 44, Chapter 1; Title 1, Chapter 23; and Title 40, Chapter 61.
      (b) Any person to whom an order is issued may appeal it pursuant to applicable law, including S.C. Code Title 44, Chapter 1; Title 1, Chapter 23; and Title 40, Chapter 61.

SECTION II.  STATE AGENCY ORGANIZATION
A.  Organization and Structure of the Hazardous Waste Program
Under South Carolina legislation, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control has the authority to regulate the State's hazardous waste management program. The management of hazardous waste in South Carolina is administered solely by the Department of Health and Environmental Control. No other State agency shares these responsibilities.
South Carolina's comprehensive statewide hazardous waste management program is equivalent to the federal program for EPA-authorized provisions except for the variances noted above. The Department's Bureau of Land and Waste Management is charged with the daily administration of the State Hazardous Waste Management Program under RCRA. A copy of the most recent Bureau of Land and Waste Management organizational chart is included as Attachment E.
Within this framework, responsibilities include the permitting of all facilities that transport, treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste; inspection and regulation of generators, transporters, as well as treatment, storage, and disposal facilities; overseeing the cleanup of hazardous waste and/or constituents; and a program that includes legal, health, public participation, and lab technical support assistance. The regulatory function of the program consists of enforcement of State legislation and regulations adopted by the Department related to the management of hazardous waste and the enforcement of standards for hazardous waste treatment and disposal facilities.
The Department has also been charged with the establishment and maintenance of a fund for contingencies arising from hazardous waste spills or accidents at permitted facilities or at pre-existing abandoned sites. Additional responsibilities include the recovery of punitive damages.

B. Statutory Authority
South Carolina's hazardous waste program bases its statutory authority on the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Act, South Carolina Code Ann. Sections 44-56-10 et seq., as amended.
Under the state enabling legislation, the South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control has authority to adopt rules regulating hazardous waste. Hazardous waste regulations [R.61-79] were adopted effective March 31, 1980, and have been amended and become effective on the following dates: May 22, 1980; January 29, 1981; June 22, 1984; January 24, 1986; March 19, 1987; January 1988; March 17, 1988; October 28, 1988; June 23, 1989; November 1990; December 25, 1992; May 28, 1993; December 24, 1993; December 23, 1994; June 23, 1995; May 24, 1996; December 27, 1996; September 25, 1998; November 26, 1999; and August 25, 2000, October 26, 2001, June 28, 2002, June 27, 2003, June 25, 2004, June 23, 2005, June 23, 2006, February 23, 2007, June 22, 2007, June 27, 2008, June 26, 2009, May 28, 2010, March 23, 2012, June 26, 2015, May 27, 2016, December 28, 2018, May 24, 2019,  November 22, 2019, June 26, 2020, November 27, 2020, May 28, 2021, and May 27, 2022.
Additional authorities have been assigned to the Department through the South Carolina Pollution Control Act [South Carolina Code Ann. Sections 48-1-10 et seq.], which provides authority for provisions which may supplement or exceed federal requirements. Procedural guidelines and restrictions have been prescribed by the State Administrative Procedures Act in South Carolina Code Ann. Sections 1-23-10 et seq., and as well as Rules of Procedure of the South Carolina Administrative Law Court Division.

SECTION III. STAFFING AND FUNDING RESOURCES
A.  Description of Staffing of Agency
1. Office of General Counsel
The Department works with the Office of General Counsel in the enforcement of statutes and regulations. Attorneys are assigned to the Department by the South Carolina Attorney General to assist with environmental issues. In addition, several State-funded criminal investigators have been provided to the Department's Environmental Affairs (EA) deputy area.
Counsel are charged with assuring compliance by the Department with the provisions of federal and state law, advising staff on interpretation and implementation of laws and regulations, and answering inquiries from members of the public involving laws and programs administered by the Department.

2. Department of Health and Environmental Control
The Department is charged with the responsibility to implement the South Carolina Hazardous Waste Management Act. The Department is authorized by the South Carolina Board of Health and Environmental Control and the State Director to act on behalf of the Board. The Department was created in 1973 by the South Carolina General Assembly to unite the State Board of Health and the Pollution Control Authority.
The Board consists of seven members, one from each of the state's Congressional districts, and one member at large, all of whom are appointed by the Governor of South Carolina upon the advice and consent of the South Carolina Senate. The Board is empowered to make, adopt, promulgate, and enforce reasonable rules and regulations for the promotion of the public health and the abatement, control, and prevention of pollution.

3. Bureau of Land and Waste Management
The regulatory function of the program consists of State legislation and regulations adopted by the Department related to the management of hazardous waste and the enforcement of standards for hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities.
The Department's Bureau of Land and Waste Management is responsible for the full range of hazardous waste activities including program administration, regulation promulgation, permitting, public participation, compliance and surveillance, enforcement, field inspections and investigations, emergency response to spills and releases, and cleanup activities at uncontrolled sites. Staff who implement the hazardous waste program are located primarily in the Bureau's Division of Compliance and Enforcement and the Division of Waste Management. Staff are also located in Regional Offices and assist in implementing the program.

request a copy of Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking Distribution System, which describes the application
procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR), Part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending upward from
700 feet above the surface for standard instrument approach procedures
at Burnet Municipal Airport--Kate Craddock Field, Burnet, TX. Airspace
reconfiguration to within a 6.7-mile radius of the airport, with
segments extending from the 6.7-mile radius to 10.2 miles north and
10.3 miles south of the airport, is necessary due to the
decommissioning of the Burnet NDB and the cancellation of the NDB
approach. Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9X, dated August 7, 2013 and effective September 15, 2013, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently in
the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore, (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, Section 106 describes
the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation
Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's authority.
This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This proposed regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it would amend controlled airspace at Burnet Municipal
Airport--Kate Craddock Field, Burnet, TX.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984
(Pub. L. 98-417) and the Generic Animal Drug and Patent Term
Restoration Act (Pub. L. 100-670) generally provide that a patent may
be extended for a period of up to 5 years so long as the patented item
(human drug product, animal drug product, medical device, food
additive, or color additive) was subject to regulatory review by FDA
before the item was marketed. Under these acts, a product's regulatory
review period forms the basis for determining the amount of extension
an applicant may receive.
    A regulatory review period consists of two periods of time: A
testing phase and an approval phase. For human biological products, the
testing phase begins when the exemption to permit the clinical
investigations of the biological product becomes effective and runs
until the approval phase begins. The approval phase starts with the
initial submission of an application to market the human biological
product and continues until FDA grants permission to market the
biological product. Although only a portion of a regulatory review
period may count toward the actual amount of extension that the
Director of USPTO may award (for example, half the testing phase must
be subtracted as well as any time that may have occurred before the
patent was issued), FDA's determination of the length of a regulatory
review period for a human biological product will include all of the
testing phase and approval phase as specified in 35 U.S.C.
156(g)(1)(B).
    FDA has approved for marketing the human biologic product BRINEURA
(cerliponase alfa). BRINEURA is indicated to slow the loss of
ambulation in symptomatic pediatric patients 3 years of age and older
with late infantile neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis type 2, also known
as tripeptidyl peptidase 1 deficiency. Subsequent to this approval, the
USPTO received a patent term restoration application for BRINEURA (U.S.
Patent No. 8,029,781) from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey,
and the USPTO requested FDA's assistance in determining this patent's
eligibility for patent term restoration. In a letter dated February 2,
2018, FDA advised the USPTO that this human biological product had
undergone a regulatory review period and that the approval of BRINEURA
represented the first permitted commercial marketing or use of the
product. Thereafter, the USPTO requested that FDA determine the
product's regulatory review period.

II. Determination of Regulatory Review Period

    FDA has determined that the applicable regulatory review period for
BRINEURA is 995 days. Of this time, 659 days occurred during the
testing phase of the regulatory review period, while 336 days occurred
during the approval phase. These periods of time were derived from the
following dates:
    1. The date an exemption under section 505(i) of the Federal Food,
Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 355(i)) became effective: August 8,
2014. FDA has verified the applicant's claim that the date the
investigational new drug application became effective was on August 8,
2014.
    2. The date the application was initially submitted with respect to
the human biological product under section 351 of the Public Health
Service Act (42 U.S.C. 262): May 27, 2016. FDA has verified the
applicant's claim that the biologics license application (BLA) for
BRINEURA (BLA 761052) was initially submitted on May 27, 2016.
    3. The date the application was approved: April 27, 2017. FDA has
verified the applicant's claim that BLA 761052 was approved on April
27, 2017.
    This determination of the regulatory review period establishes the
maximum potential length of a patent extension. However, the USPTO
applies several statutory limitations in its calculations of the actual
period for patent extension. In its application for patent extension,
this applicant seeks 666 days of patent term extension.

III. Petitions

    Anyone with knowledge that any of the dates as published are
incorrect may submit either electronic or written comments and, under
21 CFR 60.24, ask for a redetermination (see DATES). Furthermore, as
specified in Sec.  60.30 (21 CFR 60.30), any interested person may
petition FDA for a determination regarding whether the applicant for
extension acted with due diligence during the regulatory review period.
To meet its burden, the petition must comply with all the requirements
of Sec.  60.30, including but not limited to: Must be timely (see
DATES), must be filed in accordance with Sec.  10.20, must contain
sufficient facts to merit an FDA investigation, and must certify that a
true and complete copy of the petition has been served upon the patent
applicant. (See H. Rept. 857, part 1, 98th Cong., 2d sess., pp. 41-42,
1984.) Petitions should be in the format specified in 21 CFR 10.30.
    Submit petitions electronically to https://www.regulations.gov at
Docket No. FDA-2013-S-0610. Submit written petitions (two copies are
required) to the Dockets Management Staff (HFA-305), Food and Drug
Administration, 5630 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2007-28454]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    Under part 211 of title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), this
document provides the public notice that on February 23, 2021, Union
Pacific Railroad Company (UPRR) petitioned the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA) for an extension and expansion of a waiver of
compliance from certain provisions of the Federal railroad safety
regulations contained at 49 CFR part 232, Brake System Safety Standards
for Freight and Other Non-Passenger Trains and Equipment; End-Of-Train
Devices. FRA assigned the petition Docket Number FRA-2007-28454.
    UPRR's current waiver provides conditional relief from the
requirements for performing the single car air brake test (SCABT) as
prescribed in 49 CFR 232.305(b)(2), Single car air brake tests. The
relief allows UPRR to replace non-FRA condemnable wheelsets on railcars
as part of an in-train wheelset replacement program at North Platte,
Nebraska, without the need to also perform the SCABT as required, if
the car has not received a SCABT within the previous 12 months.
    In this petition, UPRR requests to expand the scope of conditions
one and two of FRA's decision letter, dated September 6, 2018. In
condition one, UPRR requests to extend the relief of in-train wheel
replacement beyond the North Platte, Nebraska, facility to also include
the Roseville, California, facility. In condition two, UPRR requests to
expand the applicability of the waiver beyond empty coal cars in unit
train service to also include covered hopper cars in unit train
service. UPRR additionally requests that the relief be extended.
    UPRR states that the original waiver and subsequent extensions have
had no adverse effect on safety, and that UPRR has operated under the
guidelines set forth in the waiver.
    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

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary final rule without prior
notice and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section
4(a) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because it is impracticable, as the Coast
Guard did not receive details for the maintenance event until January
20, 2022. There was insufficient time to undergo a full rulemaking
process, including providing a reasonable comment period and
considering those comments because the bridge is scheduled to start
repairs on February 13, 2022. Delaying repairs would negatively impact
public safety.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making it effective in less than 30 days after publication
in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date would be contrary
to the public interest, as the public interest in initiating repairs to
the bridge on time outweighs the potential burden the closure will
place on waterway users. Most vessels that require an opening only need
one leaf of the bridge to open to safely pass. Further, as necessary,
vessels can detour through the Calumet River and arrive at the same
destination.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority 33 U.S.C. 499.
    The Dearborn Street Bridge, mile 1.13, spans the Main Branch of the
Chicago River at Chicago, Illinois. The Dearborn Street Bridge, mile
1.13, over the Main Branch of the Chicago River provides a horizontal
clearance of 200 feet and a vertical clearance of 22 feet above LWD.
The bridges of Chicago are historic and all of them are over 100 years
old and require frequent maintenance and repairs that occur with little
warning. Typically, these repairs must be attended to immediately to
protect the health and welfare of pedestrians crossing the bridges each
day. The current bridge regulations for the Chicago River are contained
in 33 CFR 117.391 and allows the bridges to open on signal if a 12-hour
advance notice is provided by commercial vessels and a 20-hour advance
notice by recreational vessel during posted times. The Chicago River
bridges operate infrequently as almost all vessels can pass through the
bridges without an opening. The exceptions are recreational sailing
vessels that pass the bridge in City of Chicago sponsored flotillas
twice a year that can pass safely with one leaf open. Commercial
vessels transits that require both bridge leafs to open are rare,
occurring less than once a month on average. All vessels have the
opportunity to detour through the Calumet River.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary change to the operation of the
Dearborn Street Bridge, mile 1.13, over the Main Branch of the Chicago
River at Chicago, Illinois. During the period from February 13, 2022
through November 1, 2022, the Dearborn Street Bridge, mile 1.13, need
only operate one leaf for the passage of vessels, while the other leaf
is secured to masted navigation for maintenance. The effect of not
performing the maintenance would be to deny the bridge to an estimated
10,000 persons commuting to work daily if repairs and required
maintenance are not started in a timely manner.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive Orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive Orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protesters.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, it has
not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the ability that
vessels can

still transit the bridge through one leaf and that most vessels can
pass under the bridge without an opening.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
bridge may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section V.A
above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in
such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01, Rev.1, associated implementing
instructions, and Environmental Planning Policy COMDTINST 5090.1
(series) which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f). The
Coast Guard has determined that this action is one of a category of
actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. This rule promulgates the operating
regulations or procedures for drawbridges and is categorically excluded
from further review, under paragraph L49, of Chapter 3, Table3-1 of the
U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementation Procedures.
    Neither a Record of Environmental Consideration nor a Memorandum
for the Record are required for this rule.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

D. How Should I Submit CBI To the Agency?

Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e mail. You may claim information that you submit to EPA as CBI by marking any part or all of that information as CBI ( if you submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the specific information that is CBI). Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

E. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA? You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your comments: 1. Explain your views as clearly as possible. 2. Describe any assumptions that you used. 3. Provide copies of any technical information and/ or data you used that support your views. 4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you arrived at the estimate that you provide. 5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns. 6. Offer alternative ways to improve the notice or collection activity. 7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline in this document. 8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action and the specific PMN number you are commenting on in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation.

II. Why is EPA Taking this Action? Section 5 of TSCA requires any person who intends to manufacture ( defined by statute to include import) a new chemical ( i. e., a chemical not on the TSCA Inventory to notify EPA and comply with the statutory provisions pertaining to the manufacture of new chemicals. Under sections 5( d)( 2) and 5( d)( 3) of TSCA, EPA is required to publish a notice of receipt of a PMN or an application for a TME and to publish periodic status reports on the chemicals under review and the receipt of notices of commencement to manufacture those chemicals. This status report, which covers the period from January 11, 2003 to January 28, 2003, consists of the PMNs pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period.

III. Receipt and Status Report for PMNs This status report identifies the PMNs, both pending or expired, and the notices of commencement to manufacture a new chemical that the Agency has received under TSCA section 5 during this time period. If you are interested in information that is not included in the following tables, you may contact EPA as described in Unit II. to access additional non CBI information that may be available. In Table I of this unit, EPA provides the following information ( to the extent that such information is not claimed as CBI) on the PMNs received by EPA during this period: the EPA case number assigned to the PMN; the date the PMN was received by EPA; the projected end date for EPA's review of the PMN; the submitting manufacturer; the potential uses identified by the manufacturer in the PMN; and the chemical identity.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Abstract Executive Order 13212, signed by the President in Washington, DC, on May 18, 2001, Actions to Expedite Energy Related Projects, established a Federal interagency task force, chaired by the Chairman, CEQ, to work with and monitor Federal Agencies in their efforts to expedite their review of permits or similar actions, as necessary, to accelerate the completion of energy related projects, increase energy production and conservation, and improve transmission of energy. In addition, the Task Force would monitor and assist Agencies in setting up appropriate mechanisms to coordinate Federal, State, tribal, and local permitting in geographic areas where increased permitting activity is expected. The Task Force worked during the first year to address ongoing permit application issues for a wide variety of energy projects that were submitted in response to the Federal Register notice published on August 20, 2001 ( 66 FR 43586), requesting comments from the public. By working through an operational approach that facilitated interagency coordination and addressed impediments to Federal Agencies' finalization of decisions on energyrelated projects, the Task Force helped manage the Federal Agency decision making process by setting priorities, scheduling activities in accordance with those priorities, identifying staffing and resource needs, facilitating issue resolution, and measuring the achievements of federal agencies in implementing Executive Order 13212. The experience gained by the Task Force while helping to streamline decisions about energy related projects and working to resolve coordination issues   made it apparent that to identify and implement processes that address systemic improvements and, where appropriate, regulatory or legislative changes, the Task Force needed to be involved as early in the permit process as possible. This would allow the Task Force to identify impediments, to resolve interagency priority conflicts, to help incorporate and resolve environmental issues, and to develop more streamlined processes at an earlier stage in the permit application decision process. To that end, the Council on Environmental Quality requests suggestions of energy related projects that have either recently been submitted for permit approvals or will be submitted within nine ( 9) months of this notice and which meet the Administration's goal of providing for the environmentally sound production and transmission of energy to all VerDate Jan< 31> 2003 14: 33 Feb 21, 2003 Jkt 200001 PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\ FR\ FM\ 24FEN1.
