ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-9115-6; Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-0108]

Integrated Science Assessment for Lead (Pb)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice; call for information.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing that
the Office of Research and Development's National Center for
Environmental Assessment (NCEA) is preparing an Integrated Science
Assessment (ISA) as part of the review of the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Lead (Pb). This ISA is intended to update
and revise, where appropriate, the scientific assessment presented in
the Air Quality Criteria for Lead (EPA/600/R-5/144aF), published on
October 1, 2006. Interested parties are invited to assist the EPA in
developing and refining the scientific information base for the review
of the Pb NAAQS by submitting research studies that have been
published, accepted for publication, or presented at a public
scientific meeting.

DATES: All communications and information should be received by EPA by
April 30, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Information may be submitted electronically, by mail, by
facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. Please follow the detailed
instructions as provided in the section of this notice entitled
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For details on the period for
submission of research information from the public, contact the Office
of Environmental Information (OEI) Docket; telephone:<PHONE_NUMBER>;
facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>; or e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For technical
information, contact Ellen Kirrane, Ph.D., NCEA, telephone, 919-541-
1340; facsimile:<PHONE_NUMBER>; or e-mail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Project

    Section 108 (a) of the Clean Air Act directs the Administrator to
identify pollutants that meet certain criteria, including emissions
which ``may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and
welfare'' and whose presence ``in the ambient air results from numerous
or diverse mobile or stationary sources,'' and to issue air quality
criteria for them. These air quality criteria are to ``accurately
reflect the latest scientific knowledge useful in indicating the kind
and extent of all identifiable effects on public health or welfare
which may be expected from the presence of such pollutant in the
ambient air * * *.'' Welfare effects as defined in section 302(h) (42
U.S.C. 7602(h)) include, but are not limited to, ``effects on soils,
water, crops, vegetation, man-made materials, animals, wildlife,
weather, visibility and climate, damage to and deterioration of
property, and hazards to transportation, as well as effects on economic
values and on personal comfort and well-being.'' Under section 109 of
the Act, EPA is then to establish National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant for which EPA has issued criteria.
Section 109(d) of the Act subsequently requires periodic review and, if
appropriate, revision of existing air quality criteria to reflect
advances in scientific knowledge on the effects of the pollutant on
public health and welfare. EPA is also to revise the NAAQS, if
appropriate, based on the revised air quality criteria.
    Lead (Pb) is one of six ``criteria'' pollutants for which EPA has
established NAAQS. Periodically, EPA reviews the scientific basis for
these standards by preparing an Integrated Science Assessment (ISA),
formerly called an Air Quality Criteria Document (AQCD). The ISA and
its supplementary annexes are the scientific basis for the additional
technical and policy assessments that form the basis for EPA decisions
on the adequacy of current NAAQS and the appropriateness of new or
revised standards. Early steps in this process include announcing the
beginning of this periodic NAAQS review and the development of the ISA,
and EPA requesting that the public submit scientific literature that
they want to bring to the attention of the Agency as it begins this
process. The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC), an
independent science advisory committee mandated by the Clean Air Act
and part of the EPA's Science Advisory Board (SAB), is charged with
independent expert scientific review of EPA's draft ISAs. As the
process proceeds, the public will have opportunities to review and
comment on drafts of the Pb ISA. These opportunities will also be
announced in the Federal Register.
    The Agency is interested in obtaining information concerning
toxicological studies of effects of controlled exposure to Pb on
laboratory animals and in vitro systems, epidemiologic (observational)
studies of health effects associated with exposures of human
populations to Pb, and ecological effects of Pb exposure. Information
particular to air-related

pathways, including those involving deposition, are also of interest to
the Agency. EPA also seeks recent information in other areas of Pb
research such as toxicokinetic modeling, exposure assessment and
exposure assessment methodologies, sources and emissions, chemistry and
physics, analytical methodology, fate and transport in the environment,
ambient concentrations, including concentration changes in response to
changes in Pb deposition, and effects on public welfare or the
environment. This and other selected literature relevant to a review of
the NAAQS for Pb will be assessed in the forthcoming Pb ISA.
    As part of this review of the Pb NAAQS, EPA intends to sponsor a
workshop in May 2010, which will be announced in the Federal Register,
to highlight significant new and emerging Pb research, and to make
recommendations to the Agency regarding the design and scope of the
review of the air quality criteria and the primary (health-based) and
secondary (welfare-based) Pb standards to ensure that it addresses key
policy-relevant issues and considers the new science that is relevant
to informing our understanding of these issues. In addition, other
opportunities for submission of new peer-reviewed, published (or in-
press) papers will be possible as part of public comment on the draft
ISAs that will be reviewed by CASAC.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2019-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1969]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or

regulatory floodway on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where
applicable, in the supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for
the communities listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice
is to seek general information and comment regarding the preliminary
FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The
FIRM and FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures
that the community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of
having in effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for
participation in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In
addition, the FIRM and FIS report, once effective, will be used by
insurance agents and others to calculate appropriate flood insurance
premium rates for new buildings and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before January 22, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1969, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW, Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration, FEMA,
400 C Street SW, Washington, DC 20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email)
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or visit the FEMA Map Information
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: FEMA proposes to make flood hazard
determinations for each community listed below, in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
    These proposed flood hazard determinations, together with the
floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are the minimum
that are required. They should not be construed to mean that the
community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent
in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any
time enact stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies
established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These flood
hazard determinations are used to meet the floodplain management
requirements of the NFIP and are used to calculate the appropriate
flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after the FIRM
and FIS report become effective.
    The communities affected by the flood hazard determinations are
provided in the tables below. Any request for reconsideration of the
revised flood hazard information shown on the Preliminary FIRM and FIS
report that satisfies the data requirements outlined in 44 CFR 67.6(b)
is considered an appeal. Comments unrelated to the flood hazard
determinations also will be considered before the FIRM and FIS report
become effective.
    Use of a Scientific Resolution Panel (SRP) is available to
communities in support of the appeal resolution process. SRPs are
independent panels of experts in hydrology, hydraulics, and other
pertinent sciences established to review conflicting scientific and
technical data and provide recommendations for resolution. Use of the
SRP only may be exercised after FEMA and local communities have been
engaged in a collaborative consultation process for at least 60 days
without a mutually acceptable resolution of an appeal. Additional
information regarding the SRP process can be found online at https://www.floodsrp.org/pdfs/srp_overview.pdf.
    The watersheds and/or communities affected are listed in the tables
below. The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, FIS report for each
community are available for inspection at both the online location
https://www.fema.gov/preliminaryfloodhazarddata and the respective
Community Map Repository address listed in the tables. For communities
with multiple ongoing Preliminary studies, the studies can be
identified by the unique project number and Preliminary FIRM date
listed in the tables. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.

Federal Aviation Administration

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0868; Directorate Identifier 2009-CE-047-AD;
Amendment 39-16120; AD 2009-25-03]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH &
Co KG Model LZ N07-100 Airships

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This AD results from mandatory continuing
airworthiness information (MCAI) issued by an aviation authority of
another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an
aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as:

    The manufacturer has advised of receiving a report that during
start up on ground a RH propeller gear box (PGB) on the airship has
failed resulting in free rotation of the propeller. Investigation
performed by the manufacturer revealed that the bevel gear in the
propeller gearbox had cracked near the hub area.
    During an extensive metallurgical investigation of the cracked
bevel gear some different manufacturing deviations outside of the
specifications were detected. Deviations in the heat treatment, wall
thickness of the bevel gear near the hub area, and score marks
caused during the production process have been established as causal
factors for this failure.

We are issuing this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective January 8, 2010.
    On January 8, 2010, the Director of the Federal Register approved
the incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this
AD.

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov or in person at Document Management Facility, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the specified products.
That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2009
(74 FR 48019). That NPRM proposed to correct an unsafe condition for
the specified products. The MCAI states:

    The manufacturer has advised of receiving a report that during
start up on ground a RH propeller gear box (PGB) on the airship has
failed resulting in free rotation of the propeller. Investigation
performed by the manufacturer revealed that the bevel gear in the
propeller gearbox had cracked near the hub area.
    During an extensive metallurgical investigation of the cracked
bevel gear some different manufacturing deviations outside of the
specifications were detected. Deviations in the heat treatment, wall
thickness of the bevel gear near the hub area, and score marks
caused during the production process have been established as causal
factors for this failure.
    For the reasons described above, this new AD mandates the
replacement of the affected bevel gears, and limits, as a temporary
measure, their service-life to 1,000 Flight Hours (for non-
refurbished PGBs) and to 1,600 Flight Hours (for refurbished PGBs).

You may obtain further information by examining the MCAI in the AD
docket.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We received no comments on the NPRM or on the determination of
the cost to the public.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data and determined that air safety and
the public interest require adopting the AD as proposed.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 1 product of U.S. registry. We
also estimate that it will take about 18 work-hours per product to
comply with the basic requirements of this AD. The average labor rate
is $80 per work-hour. Required parts will cost about $66,488 per gear
box replacement. Where the service information lists required parts
costs that are covered under warranty, we have assumed that there will
be no charge for these costs. As we do not control warranty coverage
for affected parties, some parties may incur costs higher than
estimated here.
    Based on these figures, we estimate the cost of this AD on U.S.
operators to be $67,928 per gear box replacement.

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 AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 AD:
    (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) 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD Docket.

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://
www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Management Facility
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the ADDRESSES
section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly after

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

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association of America (ATA) Code 65: Tail
Rotor Drive.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
    The manufacturer has advised of receiving a report that during
start up on ground a RH propeller gear box (PGB) on the airship has
failed resulting in free rotation of the propeller. Investigation
performed by the manufacturer revealed that the bevel gear in the
propeller gearbox had cracked near the hub area.
    During an extensive metallurgical investigation of the cracked
bevel gear some different manufacturing deviations outside of the
specifications were detected. Deviations in the heat treatment, wall
thickness of the bevel gear near the hub area, and score marks
caused during the production process have been established as causal
factors for this failure.
    For the reasons described above, this new AD mandates the
replacement of the affected bevel gears, and limits, as a temporary
measure, their service-life to 1 000 Flight Hours (for non-
refurbished PGBs) and to 1 600 Flight Hours (for refurbished PGBs).

Actions and Compliance

    (f) Unless already done, do the following actions in accordance
with ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG Service Bulletin
S07 830 0001, Issue B-00, dated June 29, 2009:
    (1) As of January 8, 2010 (the effective date of this AD),
before the accumulation of the

applicable total hours time-in-service (TIS) as defined in the
appendix of ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG Service
Bulletin S07 830 0001, Issue B-00, dated June 29, 2009, replace the
bevel gears of the propeller gearbox.
    (2) As of January 8, 2010 (the effective date of this AD), for
airships with a propeller gear box identified in paragraph (c)(1) of
this AD that have exceeded the applicable total hours TIS as defined
in the appendix of ZLT Zeppelin Luftschifftechnik GmbH & Co KG
Service Bulletin S07 830 0001, Issue B-00, dated June 29, 2009,

Significant New Use Rule on Certain Chemical Substances;
Withdrawal of Significant New Use Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing significant new use rules (SNURs)
promulgated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) for chemical
substances which were the subject of premanufacture notices (PMNs). EPA
published these SNURs using direct final rulemaking procedures. EPA
received notices of intent to submit adverse comments on these rules.
Therefore, the Agency is withdrawing these SNURs, as required under the
expedited SNUR rulemaking process. EPA intends to publish in the near
future proposed SNURs for these eight chemical substances under
separate notice and comment procedures.

DATES: This final rule is effective January 2, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Does this action apply to me?

    A list of potentially affected entities is provided in the Federal
Register of November 2, 2012 (77 FR 66149) (FRL-9366-7). If you have
questions regarding the applicability of this action to a particular
entity, consult the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

II. What rule is being withdrawn?

    In the Federal Register of November 2, 2012 (77 FR 66149), EPA
issued several direct final SNURs, including SNURs for the chemical
substances that are the subject of this withdrawal. These direct final
rules were issued pursuant to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721,
subpart D. In accordance with Sec.  721.160(c)(3)(ii), EPA is
withdrawing the rule issued for eight chemical substances which were
the subject of PMNs P-11-327, P-11-328, P-11-329, P-11-330, P-11-331,
P-11-332, P-12-298, and P-12-299, because the Agency received notices
of intent to submit adverse comments. EPA intends to publish a proposed
SNUR for these chemical substances under separate notice and comment
procedures.
    For further information regarding EPA's expedited process for
issuing SNURs, interested parties are directed to 40 CFR part 721,
subpart D, and the Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 31314). The
record for the direct final SNURs for the chemical substances that are
being withdrawn was established at EPA-HQ-OPPT-2012-0740. That record
includes information considered by the Agency in developing these rules
and the notices of intent to submit adverse comments.

III. How do I access the docket?

technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule revokes or eliminates an existing regulatory
requirements and does not contain any new or amended requirements. As
such, the Agency has determined that this withdrawal will not have any
adverse impacts, economic or otherwise. The statutory and executive
order review requirements applicable to the direct final rules were
discussed in the Federal Register of November 2, 2012 (77 FR 66149).
Those review requirements do not apply to this action because it is a
withdrawal

and does not contain any new or amended requirements.

V. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., 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 rule 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. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Safety Zone; Alaska Marine Highway System Port Valdez Ferry
Terminal, Port Valdez; Valdez, AK

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a permanent safety zone on the
navigable waters of Port Valdez within a 200-yard radius of the Alaska
Marine Highway System (AMHS) Port Valdez Ferry Terminal. The purpose of
the safety zone is to restrict all vessels except AMHS vessels from
entering within 200-yards of the AMHS Port Valdez Ferry Terminal
whenever an AMHS ferry is underway within 200 yards of the terminal and
there is a declared Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener. This safety zone
is necessary to provide for the safety of life, property and the
environment during periods of vessel traffic congestion during a
declared Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener.

DATES: This rule is effective March 6, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Table of Acronyms

DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

A. Regulatory History and Information

    On February 1, 2013, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) in the Federal Register (78 FR 7336). We received no comments on
the proposed rule. No public meeting was requested and none was held.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for the rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish limited access areas: 33 U.S.C. 1231; 46 U.S.C. Chapter 701,
3306, 3703; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 6.04-6, 160.5;
Public Law 107-295, 116 Stat. 2064; Department of Homeland Security
Delegation No. 0170.1.
    A representative of the Alaska Marine Highway System requested that
the Coast Guard establish a safety zone in the immediate vicinity of
the AMHS Port Valdez Ferry Terminal whenever a Commercial Salmon
Fishery Opener is declared, because of previous incidents of near
collisions in the vicinity of the ferry terminal between AMHS ferry
vessels and commercial fishing vessels. During Commercial Salmon
Fishery Openers, increased vessel traffic in the vicinity of the AMHS
Port Valdez Ferry Terminal adds additional congestion to the waterways
and is a cause for navigational safety concerns, especially when the
commercial fleet is active along the shoreline adjacent to the AMHS
Port Valdez Ferry Terminal.
    The Coast Guard began issuing temporary final rules to establish
temporary safety zones during Commercial Salmon Fishery Openers in
2010. Because Commercial Salmon Fishery Openers are not announced until
the night before the opener, these temporary final rules were issued
late in the evening or at night (becoming effective the following
morning) leaving very little time to disseminate news of the safety
zone to affected waterway users.
    Given that, the Coast Guard proposed to establish a permanent
safety zone to restrict non-AMHS vessels from entering within a 200-
yard radius of the AMHS Port Valdez Ferry Terminal whenever an AMHS
ferry is underway within a 200-yard radius of the AMHS Terminal and
there is a declared Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener that includes the
navigable waters within 200 yards of the terminal.

C. Discussion of Comments, Changes and the Final Rule

    No comments were received. No changes were made to the regulatory
text as published in the NPRM.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on these statutes and executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, as
supplemented by Executive Order 13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review, and does not require an assessment of potential
costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of Executive Order 12866 or
under section 1 of Executive Order 13563. The Office of Management and
Budget has not reviewed it under those Orders. The Coast Guard
enforcement of this safety zone will be of short duration. The safety
zone will be enforced for a limited amount of time, only when there is
a declared Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener and there is an AMHS ferry
underway within 200 yards of the AMHS Port Valdez Ferry Terminal.
Vessels will be able to navigate around the safety zone. Furthermore,
vessels may be authorized to transit through the safety zone with the
permission of the COTP.

2. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The 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. The Coast Guard received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    This rule would affect the following entities, some of which might
be small entities: the owners or operators of vessels intending to
transit or anchor in a portion of the navigable waters of Port Valdez
whenever a Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener is declared and there is an
AMHS ferry underway within 200 yards of the AMHS Port Valdez Ferry
Terminal.
    This safety zone would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities for the following reasons. This
safety zone would be activated, and thus subject to enforcement, only
when there is an announced Commercial Salmon Fishery Opener and there
is an AMHS ferry underway within 200 yards of the AMHS Port Valdez
Terminal. Vessel traffic could pass safely around the safety zone.
Before the activation of the zone, we would issue maritime advisories
widely available to users of the waterway.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT,
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and determined
that this rule does not have implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

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

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves the establishment of a permanent safety
zone on the navigable waters of Port Valdez. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting
this determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

National Oil and Hazardous Substance Pollution Contingency Plan;
National Priorities List

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to Delete the Army Materials Technology
Laboratory Superfund Site from the National Priorities List.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 1 announces
its intent to delete the Army Materials Technology Laboratory Superfund
Site (Site) located in Watertown, Massachusetts, from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comment on this proposed
action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300
of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan
(NCP). The EPA and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the
Department of Environmental Protection, have determined that all
appropriate response actions under CERCLA--other than operation and
maintenance and five-year reviews--have been completed. However, this
deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of today's Federal
Register, EPA is publishing a direct final notice of deletion of the
Army Materials

Technology Laboratory Superfund Site without prior notice of intent to
delete because we view this as a non-controversial revision and
anticipate no adverse comment(s). EPA has explained our reasons for
this deletion in the preamble to the direct final deletion. If EPA
receives no adverse comment(s) on this notice of intent to delete or
the direct final notice of deletion, EPA will not take further action
on this notice of intent to delete. If EPA receives adverse comment(s),
EPA will withdraw the direct final notice of deletion and it will not
take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final
deletion notice based on this notice of intent to delete as
appropriate. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
notice of intent to delete. Any parties interested in commenting must
do so at this time. For additional information, see the direct final
notice of deletion located in the Rules section of this Federal
Register.

DATES: Comments concerning this Site must be received by October 23,
2006.

mail comment directly to EPA without going through http://www.regulations.gov,

your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available

that you include your name and other contact information in the body of
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM that you submit. If EPA cannot
read your comment because of technical difficulties and cannot contact
you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, any form
of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 767 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The FAA is adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain Boeing Model 767 airplanes. This AD requires sealing certain
fasteners and stiffeners in the fuel tank, changing certain wire bundle
clamp configurations on the fuel tank walls, inspecting certain
fasteners in the fuel tanks and to determine the method of attachment
of the vortex generators, and corrective action if necessary. This AD
results from fuel system reviews conducted by the manufacturer. We are
issuing this AD to prevent possible ignition sources in the auxiliary
fuel tank, main fuel tanks, and surge tanks caused by a wiring short or
lightning strike, which could result in fuel tank

explosions and consequent loss of the airplane.

DATES: This AD becomes effective October 1, 2009.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the AD as of October 1,
2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The FAA issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to certain
Boeing Model 767 airplanes. That supplemental NPRM was published in the
Federal Register on October 16, 2008 (73 FR 61378). That supplemental
NPRM proposed to require sealing certain fasteners and stiffeners in
the fuel tank, changing certain wire bundle clamp configurations on the
fuel tank walls, inspecting additional fasteners in the fuel tanks and
to determine the method of attachment of the vortex generators, and
corrective action if necessary.

Comments

    We provided the public the opportunity to participate in the
development of this AD. We have considered the comments received on the
supplemental NPRM.

Support for the NPRM

    Boeing concurs with the contents of the NPRM.

Request for Final Rule To Include Reference to Supplemental Type
Certificate (STC) ST01920SE

    Delta requests that the final rule include a reference to STC
ST01920SE, dated October 15, 2008, which installs winglets on certain
Boeing 767 airplanes that have similar fastener sealing requirements in
coincidental locations defined in the proposed AD. Delta states that
including the specific common areas of the referenced STC in the final
rule would simplify compliance if the STC has already been
incorporated, and also preclude de-modification if the STC is
incorporated after the AD.
    We partially agree with the commenter's statement. The requirements
for fasteners that penetrate the fuel tank are the same in both the STC
and AD. We disagree with referencing the STC in the AD because there is
insufficient information contained in the request to identify the
specific areas that are common between the STC and AD. However, the
commenter may formally request an approval for an alternative method of
compliance, as provided by paragraph (h) of this AD, if the request
includes more specific information to enable us to determine whether
the proposed method would provide an adequate level of safety.

Conclusion

    We have carefully reviewed the available data, including the
comments received, and determined that air safety and the public
interest require adopting the AD as proposed in the supplemental NPRM.

Costs of Compliance

    There are about 925 airplanes of the affected design in the
worldwide fleet. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators to comply with this AD. There are no U.S.-registered
airplanes in Group 3 of Boeing Service Bulletin 767-57A0102. The
average labor rate is $80 per work hour.

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 have determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will 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 that this AD:
    (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) 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this AD and placed it in the AD docket. See the ADDRESSES
section for a location to examine the regulatory evaluation.
