toll free.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501-3520, and its
implementing regulations, 5 CFR part 1320, require Federal agencies to
provide 60-days' notice to the public to allow comment on information
collection activities before seeking OMB approval of the activities.
See 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1), 1320.10(e)(1),
1320.12(a). Specifically, FRA invites interested parties to comment on
the following summary of proposed information collection activities
regarding: (1) Whether the information collection activities are
necessary for FRA to properly execute its functions, including whether
the activities will have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of FRA's
estimates of the burden of the information collection activities,
including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used to
determine the estimates; (3) ways for FRA to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information being collected; and (4) ways
for FRA to minimize the burden of information collection activities on
the public by automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques and other forms of information technology (e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of responses). See 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(2)(A); 5 CFR 1320.8(d)(1).
    FRA believes that soliciting public comment will promote its
efforts to reduce the administrative and paperwork burdens associated
with the collection of information that Federal regulations mandate. In
summary, FRA reasons that comments received will advance three
objectives: (1) Reduce reporting burdens; (2) ensure that it organizes
information collection requirements in a ``user-friendly'' format to
improve the use of such information; and (3) accurately assess the
resources expended to retrieve and produce information requested. See
44 U.S.C. 3501.
    Below is a brief summary of information collection activities that
FRA will submit for OMB renewed or revised clearance as the PRA
requires:
    Title: Experimental Investigation of Automation-Induced Human Error
in Locomotive Cab.
    OMB Control Number: 2130-XXXX.
    Abstract: The purpose of this collection is to identify and
evaluate the potential for human error associated with the operation of
systems and automation in the locomotive cab. This research addresses
DOT's strategic goal of safety. Once the nature and risk of human error
in locomotive cab systems and automation is better understood, error
mitigating steps can be taken to provide safer systems and reduce the
risk of accidents or incidents involving these systems. FRA will use
the research's results to identify training, operational procedures, or
automation design standards that will improve the safety of automated
systems in locomotive cabs.

    Abstract: The purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a
prototype locomotive operating mode that allows an operator to
``manually'' control a train by providing a desired speed target while
the control system determines the throttle notch changes required. This
research addresses DOT's safety strategic goal. Information collected
from this research will be used by researchers and equipment designers
to evaluate the merit of a prototype display and control configuration
maximizing the use of both automation and human capabilities. The
information will also assist the Federal government in recommending
display design standards to the rail industry for future displays and
the results may help design future displays and controls for
locomotives.

Title: National Survey on Environmental Management of Asthma Abstract: Executive Order 13045, issued in 1997, directed each federal agency to identify,

assess, and address environmental health and safety risks for children. This executive order also created the Task Force on Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks in Children, co chaired by the Secretary of Health and Human Services ( HHS) and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA). In April 1998, this Task Force identified four priority areas, one of which was childhood asthma. In response, EPA launched efforts to better understand the role that environmental factors, including airborne allergens and irritants, play in the onset of asthma and the triggering of asthma symptoms. Indoor allergens include those from house dust mites, cockroaches, mold, and animal dander. In addition, exposure to environmental tobacco smoke ( ETS) has also been shown to be a major determinant of asthma symptoms.

EPA is working to integrate the management of environmental factors with the medical treatment of asthma, particularly among children and low income populations. To evaluate the effectiveness of its current outreach efforts, EPA proposes to collect data from individual U. S.

households through a telephone survey. This survey will be used to gain information regarding the number of individuals with asthma who have taken steps to improve the quality of their indoor environment as part of their approach to managing the disease, as well as any barriers they may have encountered while attempting to do so. EPA will compare the data gained from this survey 5 to a similar survey completed in 2003. These data will help the Agency determine if it has reached its goal established by the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 ( GPRA).

Specifically, EPA's goal is that 2.5 million people with asthma, including one million children and 200,000 low income adults, will have taken steps to reduce their exposure to indoor environmental asthma triggers by 2005.

EPA intends to conduct the survey once during the period for which this ICR is in effect.

EPA will conduct the survey in two phases. The first phase is intended to identify households where either an adult asthmatic or child with asthma resides. Individuals who participate in the first phase of EPA's survey will be chosen at random from U. S. households with publicly listed telephone numbers. EPA expects that 10 to 15 percent of individuals who participate in its screening survey will have asthma or live in a household with someone who does. After responding to several screening questions, adult asthmatics and parents of children with asthma will be invited to participate in a longer, more in depth telephone survey. EPA intends to oversample in communities known to have a high percentage of low income households to ensure that the Agency is able to evaluate the effectiveness of its outreach efforts to this target population.

The National Survey on Environmental Management of Asthma is voluntary. EPA does not expect to receive confidential information from the individuals who voluntarily participate in the survey. However, if a respondent does consider the information submitted to be of a proprietary nature, EPA will assure its confidentiality based on the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart B,

" Confidentiality of Business Information."

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB 6 control numbers for EPA's regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

The EPA would like to solicit comments to:

( i) evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information will have practical utility;

( ii) evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used;

( iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and ( iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond,

including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e. g.,

permitting electronic submission of responses.

Burden Statement: EPA estimates the annual public reporting burden for this collection of information to be 1,339 hours. This is a total estimated burden of 4,017 hours for completion of this one time survey. The estimated number of respondents is 52,591. The public reporting burden ranges between 3.5 minutes and 13.5 minutes per response, depending on whether or not the survey respondent has asthma or lives with someone who has asthma. This survey effort is expected to cost approximately $ 1.96 per respondent living in a non asthmatic household; $ 3.36 per respondent living in an asthmatic household, but participating only in the screening survey;

and $ 7.56 per respondent participating in both the screening survey and the survey itself.

Respondents will incur no capital, start up costs, or operation and maintenance costs as a result of this survey. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to 7 generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

[Docket No. FDA-2020-N-1602]

Revocation of Authorization of Emergency Use of an In Vitro
Diagnostic Device for Detection of Antibodies Against SARS-CoV-2, the
Virus That Causes Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing the
revocation of the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) (the Authorization)
issued to Chembio Diagnostic Systems, Inc. (``Chembio'') for the DPP
COVID-19 IgM/IgG System. FDA revoked this Authorization on June 16,
2020, under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act), in
consideration of new information from three evaluations performed since
the Authorization of the device that demonstrate its performance may be
both inconsistent and lower than that described in the request for
Authorization. The revocation, which includes an explanation of the
reasons for revocation, is reprinted in this document.

DATES: Chembio's Authorization is revoked as of June 16, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit written requests for single copies of the revocation
to the Office of Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug
Administration, 10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4338, Silver
Spring, MD 20993-0002. Send one self-addressed adhesive label to assist
that office in processing your request or include a fax number to which
the revocation may be sent. See the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section
for electronic access to the revocation.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer J. Ross, Office of
Counterterrorism and Emerging Threats, Food and Drug Administration,
10903 New Hampshire Ave., Bldg. 1, Rm. 4332, Silver Spring, MD 20993-
0002,<PHONE_NUMBER> (this is not a toll-free number).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 564 of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3) allows FDA to
strengthen the public health protections against biological, chemical,
radiological, or nuclear agent or agents. Among other things, section
564 of the FD&C Act allows FDA to authorize the use of an unapproved
medical product or an unapproved use of an approved medical product in
certain situations. On April 14, 2020, FDA issued an EUA to Chembio,
for the DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System, subject to the terms of the
Authorization. Notice of the issuance of the Authorization is
publishing elsewhere in the Federal Register with this revocation, as
required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C Act. Subsequent to the
Authorization, FDA considered new information from three additional
evaluations, including two conducted by independent entities,
demonstrating performance below the performance information submitted
in the original EUA request and reflected in the authorized labeling
for the device.

II. EUA Criteria for Issuance No Longer Met and Other Circumstances
Make Revocation Appropriate To Protect the Public Health or Safety

    Under section 564(g)(2)(B) and (C) of the FD&C Act, the Secretary
of HHS may revoke an EUA if, among other things, the criteria for
issuance are no longer met or other circumstances make such revocation
appropriate to protect the public health or safety. On June 16, 2020,
FDA revoked the EUA for Chembio's DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System because
the criteria for issuance were no longer met and other circumstances
make such revocation appropriate to protect the public health or
safety. Under section 564(c)(2) of the FD&C Act an EUA may be issued
only if FDA concludes that, based on the totality of scientific
evidence available to the Secretary, including data from adequate and
well-controlled clinical trials, if available, it is reasonable to
believe that the product may be effective in diagnosing, treating, or
preventing such disease or condition and the known and potential
benefits of the product, when used to diagnose, prevent, or treat such
disease or condition, outweigh the known and potential risks of the
product. Given the poor device performance observed in multiple
evaluations since the Authorization, FDA has concluded it is not
reasonable to believe the product may be effective in detecting
antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 or that the known and potential benefits
of the device outweigh its known and potential risks. In addition,
based on the same information and the risks to public health from false
test results, FDA has concluded under section 564(g)(2)(C) of the FD&C
Act that other circumstances make revocation appropriate to protect the
public health or safety. Accordingly, FDA has revoked EUA200179 for the
DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System, pursuant to section 564(g)(2)(B) and (C)
of the FD&C Act.

III. Electronic Access

    An electronic version of this document and the full text of the
revocation are available on the internet at https://www.regulations.gov/ and https://www.fda.gov/media/139109/download.

IV. The Revocation

    Having concluded that the criteria for revocation of the
Authorization under section 564(g) of the FD&C Act are met, FDA has
revoked the EUA for Chembio's DPP COVID-19 IgM/IgG System. The
revocation in its entirety follows and provides an explanation of the
reasons for revocation, as required by section 564(h)(1) of the FD&C
Act.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1     	SECTION I:  PART A OF THE SUPPORTING
STATEMENT

1.	IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

1(a)	TITLE OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION

	"CLEAN WATER ACT STATE REVOLVING FUND PROGRAM"

	(OMB Control Number 2040-0118, EPA ICR Number 1391.10)

1(b) SHORT CHARACTERIZATION (ABSTRACT)

The information collection activities will occur primarily at the
program level through the State "Intended Use Plan" and "Annual Report".
 The information is needed annually to implement Section 606 of the
Clean Water Act (CWA).  The Act requires the information to ensure
national accountability, adequate public comment and review, fiscal
integrity, and consistent management directed to achieve environmental
objectives.

The individual information collections are described as follows:

a. Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application/State Intended Use
Plan

The capitalization grant agreement and application is the principal
instrument by which the State commits to manage its revolving fund
program in conformity with the requirements of the CWA.  The grant
agreement contains or incorporates by reference the Intended Use Plan
IUP, application materials, payment schedule, and required
certifications.  Information on hardship grants, Disadvantaged Business
Enterprise (DBE), environmental indicators, environmental benefits, core
measurements, and funding framework can be found in the IUP.  The grant
agreement is a general instrument to legally commit the State and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to execute their responsibilities
under the Act.

b. Annual Report

The Annual Report indicates how the State has met the goals and
objectives of the previous fiscal year as stated in the IUP and grant
agreement.  The Report provides information on loan recipients, loan
amounts, loan terms, hardship grants, DBE, environmental indicators,
environmental benefits, core measurements, funding framework, project
categories of eligible costs, and similar data on other forms of
assistance, and is needed for input into the Clean Water State Revolving
Fund (CWSRF) National Information Management System.  The Report also
describes the extent to which the existing CWSRF financial operating
policies, alone or in combination with other State financial assistance
programs, will provide for the long-term fiscal health of the Fund.

c. State Annual Audit

The State annual audit report will contain opinions on the financial
statements of the CWSRF, a report on the internal controls, and whether
the CWSRF program compliance requirements have been met.  Separate
financial audits may be done in conjunction with the guidelines of the
Single Audit Act of 1996.

d. Applications for CWSRF Financing Assistance

Local communities have the responsibility for preparing and submitting
applications for CWSRF assistance to their respective State Agency which
manages the CWSRF program.  The State has sole responsibility for
reviewing the applications, entering into loan and other financing
arrangements with applicants, and otherwise managing operations of the
CWSRF.

2.	NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

2(a)	NEED/AUTHORITY FOR THE COLLECTION

	The Clean Water Act, as amended by "The Water Quality Act of 1987" (33
U.S.C. 1381-1387 et. seq.), created a Title VI which authorizes grants
to States for the establishment of State Water Pollution Control
Revolving Funds.  The information activities are pursuant to Section 606
of the Act, EPA Initial Guidance for State Revolving Funds (January
1988), and CWSRF Interim Final Rule (March 1990).

	The 1987 Act declares that water pollution control revolving loan funds
shall be administered by an instrumentality of the State subject to the
requirements of the Act.  This means that each State has a general
responsibility for administering its revolving fund, and must take on
certain specific responsibilities in carrying out its administrative
duties.

2(b)	USE/USERS OF THE DATA

	In order for a State to receive a capitalization grant for its
revolving fund, it must enter into an agreement (Capitalization Grant
Agreement) with the EPA.  State responsibilities include:

a. 	contributing 20 percent matching funds;

b. 	committing funds expeditiously;

c. 	jointly establishing a payment schedule with the federal
government;

d. 	ensuring that enforceable requirements are fulfilled before the
assistance is provided to recipients for other purposes; and

e. 	monitoring assistance recipient compliance with program requirements
and other federal cross-cutting authorities during the period of the
assistance agreement.

A State, as a federal grant recipient, must also agree to follow
generally accepted accounting principles.  A State is expected to have
an annual financial audit conducted and must assure that assistance
recipients adhere to appropriate accounting and auditing procedures.

	The information to be provided to EPA by the States includes:

a. Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application/Intended Use Plan;

		b. Annual Report; and

		c. State Annual Audit.

	Upon approval of the capitalization grant application, each State has
the responsibility to establish its CWSRF program.  Once the CWSRF is
operational, the State will receive and review applications for CWSRF
financing assistance submitted by local communities.  The State will
review the applications for conformance with the CWSRF Intended Use
Plan, environmental impact and benefits, and financial capability of the
applicant.  For those projects funded with monies directly made
available by the Federal capitalization grant, the State will also
review the proposed project for consistency with applicable Title II
requirements and other Federal cross-cutting authorities as described in
the CWSRF Initial Guidance and other CWSRF program materials.  The
specific procedures for preparation and review of application materials
will be developed by each State.  If an application is acceptable, the
State prepares the appropriate loan agreement documents.

	Although EPA oversees the general operations of the CWSRF programs as
part of its Annual Review process, the Agency does not have any
responsibility for reviewing or approving individual applications for
CWSRF financial assistance.

3.	THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

3(a)	RESPONDENTS/SIC CODES

State and local governments; local communities and tribes (SIC Code #99)

3(b)INFORMATION REQUESTED

	(i)	Data Items

In general, the information collections are required to ensure
compliance with Title VI of the Clean Water Act and to ensure that
self-sufficient CWSRF programs are established in perpetuity.  These
information elements also provide the accountability needed to detect
shall remedy situations of waste, fraud, and abuse of Federal funds.

The individual information collections are described as follows:

	a.	Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application/State
          	Intended Use Plan

The capitalization grant application is made on EPA short form No.
5700-33 (OMB No. 2030-0020).  The minimal increase in State burden
associated with use of this form is being handled separately by the
Grants Administration Division in their information collection budget
request.

The CWSRF Management Manual includes a model IUP which should improve
program efficiency and reduce the burden on States and EPA Regions.

b.	Annual Report

Section 606 (d) requires the States to submit an annual report at the
end of each fiscal year that identifies how the State has met the goals
and objectives of the previous fiscal year as stated in the IUP and
grant agreement.  The annual report provides information on loan
recipients, loan amounts, loan terms, environmental benefits, DBE,
project categories, and similar data on other forms of assistance.   The
annual report describes the extent to which the existing CWSRF financial
operating policies, alone or in combination with other State financial
assistance programs, will provide for the long term fiscal health of the
Fund and carry out other provisions specified in the grant operation
agreement.

To reduce the burden on the States, EPA developed a model annual report,
patterned after the model IUP.

This model is included in the CWSRF Management Manual.

	c.	State Annual Audit

Most States have agreed to conduct or to have conducted an independent
financial audit of its CWSRF which will provide opinions on the
financial statements, and a report on the internal controls and
compliance with program requirements.  The remaining States will be
covered by audits conducted under the requirements of the Single Audit
Act or by the EPA Office of Inspector General.

	d.	Applications for CWSRF Financing Assistance

Local communities and other eligible entities have to prepare and submit
applications for CWSRF assistance to their respective State Agency which
manages the CWSRF program.  Title VI outlines eligibilities under the
CWSRF program in terms of potential recipients, types of projects and
activities which may receive CWSRF assistance, and the types of
financial assistance which an CWSRF may provide.  The Clean Water Act
provides significant flexibility to the States regarding the development
of specific procedures for reviewing and approving applications for
CWSRF assistance and for managing the CWSRF program.

Specific reporting requirements which are statutorily based relate only
to the relationship between the State as recipient of the Federal
capitalization grant and the Agency as grantor.  Similarly, the CWSRF
Initial Guidance, the Interim Final Rule, CWSRF Management Manual, and
other CWSRF program materials do not provide guidance or direction to
the States regarding the development of application materials or
specific procedures for the processing and disposition of applications
for CWSRF assistance.

Generally, the applications for CWSRF assistance require local
communities to provide the following information:

o	Project description;

o	Project cost estimate;

o	Estimated construction schedule;

o	Projected disbursement schedule;

o	Description of environmental impacts and benefits;

o	Estimation of cost impacts on users;

o	Identification of repayment source;

o	Description of community financial capability; and

o	For certain projects, certifications and demonstrations regarding
compliance with applicable Title II requirements and other Federal
cross-cutting authorities.

(ii)	Respondent Activities

The respondents (State and local governments) prepare and submit the
Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application / Intended Use Plan when
applying for Federal financial assistance

4.	THE INFORMATION COLLECTED--AGENCY ACTIVITIES, 	COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION 	MANAGEMENT

4(a)	AGENCY ACTIVITIES

The Agency reviews the submissions from the State and local governments
and analyzes the data provided on the Capitalization Grant Agreement and
Application/Intended Use Plan in order to base its decisions for
approval.  The Agency reviews the annual reports and the annual audits
from each state to ensure that the intended financial and programmatic
objectives of the program are being met.

4(b)	COLLECTION METHODOLOGY AND MANAGEMENT

The CWSRF Management Manual includes a model agreement which draws from
the existing Construction Grant Agreement.  Use of this example is
likely to reduce the information burden on States and EPA Regions.

Section 606(c) requires the State to prepare a plan identifying the
intended uses of the funds in the CWSRF and describing how these uses
support the goals of the CWSRF.  The Intended Use Plan (IUP) must be
submitted annually, after the State has provided an opportunity for
public comment and review.  The primary purpose of the IUP is the
identification of proposed annual intended uses of the amounts available
to the CWSRF.  The secondary purpose of the IUP is the facilitation of
the negotiation process for the capitalization grant agreement and
schedule of grant payments (Section 606(b)).

	Under Section 606(c)(l), the IUP must contain a list of  publicly-owned
treatment works projects on the State's priority list that are eligible
for CWSRF construction assistance.  This IUP list includes:  the
community name; the permit number or other applicable enforceable
requirement; the type of financial assistance; and the projected amount
of eligible assistance.

Under Section 606(c)(2), the State must describe long and short term
goals and objectives of its water pollution control revolving fund.

	Under Section 606(c)(3), the IUP must include information on the types
of activities to be supported by the CWSRF.

	Section 606(c)(4) requires that assurances and specific proposals be
contained in the IUP to describe how the State intends to meet the
following requirements:

- Section 602(a)--State certification that it will conduct environmental
reviews on treatment works projects and submit the specific procedures
it will use.

- Section 602(b)(3)--State certification that it will enter into binding
commitments.  The estimated schedule for the binding commitments is a
part of the IUP.

- Section 602(b)(4) -State certification that all funds in the CWSRF
will be expended in an expeditious and timely manner.

- Section 602(b)(5)--State identification of all projects expected to be
funded with "first use" funds to meet the enforceable requirements of
the Act.  All States have certified compliance with this requirement.

Section 606(c)(5) requires that the IUP describe the criteria and
methods established for the distribution of the CWSRF funds.  The first
part describes the distribution of the various types of assistance
offered by the State (e.g., loans, guarantees, insurance, refinancing of
existing debt, leveraging).  The second part describes the process the
State will use to select Section 212 POTW construction projects from the
project priority list, and projects or programs to be funded as eligible
activities for non-point source (NPS) and estuary protection management
programs.  This section also includes how the State will provide
opportunity for public comment and review of the IUP before submitting
it in final form to EPA.

	Except for the NPS and estuarine management programs under Sections 319
and 320, the procedures for selecting projects from the State priority
list and for providing for public participation have already been
established under the existing Construction Grant Program.  Therefore,
the burden connected with this part of the IUP will also be minimal.

Payment Schedule -- Based on its projection of binding commitments in
its Intended Use Plan, the State must propose a draft payment schedule.
The payment schedule and the specific criteria establishing the
conditions under which the State may draw cash from ASAP (Automated
Standard Application for Payments system) must be jointly established by
EPA and the State.  A schedule of estimated disbursements is also
required to allow a forecast of the amount of funds to be drawn from
ASAP during the upcoming Federal fiscal year.  This forecast is
necessary to plan the outlay of Federal funds from the Treasury due to
the Title VI program.

In its Annual Report, the State verifies that it has:

- Reviewed all CWSRF funded Section 212 projects in accordance with the
approved environmental review procedures (Section 602(a));

- Deposited its matching funds on or before the date on which each EPA
quarterly grant payment was made (Section 602(b)(2));

- Made binding commitments to provide assistance equal to 120 percent of
the amount of each grant payment within one year after receiving the
grant payment (Section 602(b)(4));

- Expended all monies in the fund in an expeditious and timely manner
(Section 602(b)(4));

- First used all monies in the fund as a result of capitalization grants
to assure maintenance of progress toward compliance with the enforceable
requirements of the Act (Section 602(b)(5)); and

- Complied with the Title II requirements applicable to those eligible
treatment works funded in whole or in part before fiscal year 1995 with
an amount equivalent to the capitalization grant (Section 602(b)(6));
crosscutters still apply

Under Section 606(b), at least once a year the Administrator (through
the Office of the Inspector General) expects the State to independently
conduct or to have conducted a financial and compliance audit of its
CWSRF and operations.  The State may designate an independent auditor to
carry out the audit or may contractually procure the service.  If the
State fails to conduct the audit or if the review is unsatisfactory, the
Office of Inspector General (OIG) may arrange for an EPA audit.  The OIG
is currently developing an audit guide for CWSRFs, which should reduce
the burden on States that wish to conduct their own audits and improve
the efficiency of EPA reviews.

Title VI outlines eligibilities under the CWSRF program in terms of
potential recipients, types of projects and activities which may receive
CWSRF assistance, and the types of financial assistance which an CWSRF
may provide.  The CWA provides significant flexibility to the States
regarding the development of specific procedures for reviewing and
approving applications for CWSRF assistance and for managing the CWSRF
program.

Specific reporting requirements which are statutorily based relate only
to the relationship between the State as recipient of the Federal
capitalization grant and the Agency as grantor.  Similarly, the CWSRF
Initial Guidance,

Interim Final Rule, CWSRF Management Manual, and other CWSRF program
materials do not provide guidance or direction to the States regarding
the development of application materials or specific procedures for the
processing and disposition of applications for CWSRF assistance.

The Initial Guidance and Interim Final Rule on State Revolving Funds
impose virtually no requirements on States that go beyond those imposed
by the CWA itself.  The guidance and rule were designed to promote
flexibility for States in establishing and operating their CWSRF
programs, within the bounds of the Act.

Because the CWSRF is a dynamic State-led program, EPA has undertaken
many activities to support the Regions and States with implementation.
EPA has prepared model documents relating to intended use plans,
capitalization grant agreements, and annual reports.  EPA Regional
personnel are regularly in contact with their State counterparts and are
currently working to determine efficient ways to communicate needed
information and reduce the burden.  The information collection
activities will occur primarily at the program level through the State
Intended Use Plan and Annual Report.  The information is needed annually
to implement Section 606 of the CWA.  The Act requires the information
to ensure national accountability, adequate public comment and review,
fiscal integrity, and consistent management directed to achieve
environmental objectives.

4(c)	SMALL ENTITY FLEXIBILITY

A majority of the reporting burden (IUP, annual report, annual audit,
falls on the States.  For those communities / municipalities desiring
financial assistance from the CWSRF, they will have a smaller reporting
burden requirement (loan applications).  For those small or local
organizations requiring assistance (non-point source projects), they
will also prepare loan applications similar to the communities’ /
municipalities’ requirement for submittal to the State program office.

4(d)	COLLECTION SCHEDULE

The information collection activities will occur primarily at the
program level for use in the State Intended Use Plan and Annual Report.
The information is needed annually to implement Section 606 of the CWA.
The Act requires the information to ensure national accountability,
adequate public comment and review, fiscal integrity, and consistent
management directed to achieve environmental objectives.

 5.  NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION

CRITERIA

5(a)	NONDUPLICATION

	The information collection elements are specific to Title  VI,
established under the amendments to the CWA.  The information in the
Intended Use Plan, Annual Report, and State Audit is unique to each
State participating in the CWSRF program.  Therefore, duplication of
effort is not expected.  The information collection activities herein
are based upon program specific State sources which are not duplicated
anywhere else.

5(b)	CONSULTATIONS

The information collection requirements were developed during the
initial stages of the program, and were reviewed and commented on by the
groups that would be impacted; such as State officials, representatives
of local government, private concerns involved with municipal finance,
EPA regional and Headquarters’ offices, and the Office of Management
and Budget.  The Association of State and Interstate Water Pollution
Control Administrators (ASIWPCA) also reviewed and commented on the
requirements.  As the program progressed through the years, there were
minor changes made to the requirements, mostly due to reporting burden
increases resulting from an increase in the number of loan applicants.
These changes were reviewed and commented on by the impacted
organizations as a result of the Federal Register postings every 3 years
during the renewal process.

The burden hours did double for one year in 2009, due to the infusion of
$4 billion dollars into the SRF program from the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009.  However, these burden hours were approved by
OMB on a separate ICR developed by the EPA Grants Administration
Division; and these hours allowed have since been dropped from the
Agency’s data collection budget for the SRF program.

5(c)	EFFECTS OF LESS FREQUENT COLLECTION

The statute (Clean Water Act) requires the information to be provided at
least annually.  EPA is not requesting the information more frequently,
although a State may submit it more frequently if it wishes (e.g.
semi-annual audit instead of annual audit).

The information is indispensable for prudent administration and sound
fiscal management of the State Revolving Fund Program.  EPA will use the
information to respond to OMB and Congressional requests and
requirements for accurate analysis and projection of national budget
impacts and needs.  It will be relied upon by State managers for key
planning decisions and by EPA managers for essential program evaluation
and corrective measures.

Local communities are not required to apply for CWSRF assistance.
Preparation of an application is only necessary if the community wishes
to receive financial assistance.  In view of the limitation of funds
available from the CWSRF and the option of other sources, a limited
number of communities will likely receive assistance in a particular
year.  The impact on communities generally is quite limited.

5(d)	GENERAL GUIDELINES

The data collections covered by this ICR are in compliance with the OMB
General Guidelines for information collections.

5(e)	CONFIDENTIALITY AND SENSITIVE QUESTIONS

	(i) 	Confidentiality

No confidential data is collected.

(ii) 	Sensitive Questions

 No such information is required.

5 (f) PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIRED PRIOR TO ICR SUBMISSION TO OMB

          	 	The first Federal Register Notice soliciting public comment
on this ICR was  published July ____, 2011.  A copy of the Notice is
attached to the supporting statement.

6.	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

6(a)	ESTIMATING RESPONDENT BURDEN HOURS

The respondent burden estimates are based on the incremental effort
associated with the information collection activity.  As program
activity increases at the local and State level the preparation and
review of local community applications for CWSRF assistance will likely
increase.

The estimation of State respondents' burden for the four information
collections are shown below:

Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application /State Intended

Use Plan

We estimate that States will spend an average of 400 hours each to
prepare the Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application / State
Intended Use Plan for submission to EPA.  The information provided for
hardship grants, environmental benefits, core measurements and funding
framework is included in the burden hour estimate.   The following chart
represents the total national burden from the Capitalization Grant
Agreement and Application / State Intended Use Plan.

FY 2012: 51 States X 400 hrs = 20,400 burden hours

FY 2013: 51 States X 400 hrs = 20,400 burden hours

FY 2014: 51 States X 400 hrs = 20,400 burden hours

			Total		1,200 hrs		61,200 hrs

b. 	Annual Report

EPA estimates that over the three year period covered by this ICR the
States will spend an average of 275 hours to put together their Annual
Report on the CWSRF program.  The annual report will include information
on hardship grants, DBE, environmental benefits, core measurements,
funding framework, and input for the CWSRF National Information
Management System.

FY 2012: 51 States X 275 hrs = 14,025 burden hours

FY 2013: 51 States X 275 hrs = 14,025 burden hours

FY 2014: 51 States X 275 hrs = 14,025 burden hours

	Total		825 hrs		42,075 hrs

c. 	State Annual Audit

The estimated average burden for each State Annual Audit was 80 hours
per year.  It should be noted that all States are expected to have an
annual financial audit of their program conducted, including opinions on
the financial statements, and reports on internal controls and
compliance with program requirements.  This estimate is based on the
extra increment of effort caused by the federal requirement.  Some
States will build on the Single Audit Act audits while others will
simply have annual financial audits conducted on their program.

FY 2012: 51 States X 80 hrs = 4,080 burden hours

FY 2013: 51 States X 80 hrs = 4,080 burden hours

FY 2014: 51 States X 80 hrs = 4,080 burden hours

			Total		240 hrs		12,240 hrs

It is important to note that respondents may use CWSRF administrative
monies to pay for costs resulting from the State Annual Audit.  Section
603(d)(7) of the Act allows money in the CWSRF to be used for the
reasonable costs of administering the Fund, provided that the amount
does not exceed four percent of the Federal  grant awards received by
the State CWSRF.  If the effort required under the State Audit exceeds
the requirements under the Single Audit Act, the incremental costs
associated with the additional effort may be paid from the
administrative monies.

	d. 	CWSRF Assistance Application Preparation and Review

States have total responsibility for reviewing and approving local
applications for assistance from the CWSRF program.  We estimate that
States will spend an average of 40 hours in reviewing and approving each
assistance application.  The following chart represents the total
national State burden in processing CWSRF assistance applications.

FY 2012: 51 States X 74 Comm. appl. X 40 hrs = 150,960 hours

FY 2013: 51 States X 79 Comm. appl. X 40 hrs =  161,160 hours

FY 2014: 51 States X 84 Comm. appl. X 40 hrs = 171,360 hours

			Total 	      237 Comm. appl.	               483,480 hours

States develop specific procedures and reporting and application
materials for CWSRF assistance applicants.  We estimate that local
communities and tribes will spend an average of 60 hours in collecting
information and preparing their CWSRF assistance applications.  The
following chart represents the total national local community burden in
preparing CWSRF assistance applications.

FY 2012:   3,774 Comm. X 60 hrs = 226,440 burden hours

FY 2013:   4,029 Comm. X 60 hrs = 241,740 burden hours

FY 2014:   4,284 Comm. X 60 hrs = 257,040  burden hours

     	Total        12,087 Comm.	                725,220 hrs

6(b)	ESTIMATING RESPONDENT COSTS

a. Costs To State Respondents

The average annual State Costs for the three-year period is estimated to
be $8,725,760

It is important to note that costs to the States are CWSRF grant
eligible, and therefore, are indirect Federal costs paid out of the
CWSRF.  Under section 603(d)(7), money in the CWSRF may be used for the
reasonable costs of administering the Fund, provided that the amount
does not exceed four percent of all grant awards received by the CWSRF.
CWSRF administrative monies may be used for all reasonable costs that
would be eligible under section 205(g) for delegated program and project
management, to the extent those types of costs are incurred for
management of the CWSRF and for projects receiving financial assistance
from the .  (If actual State expenditures for administrative costs of
managing the CWSRF exceed the four percent limit, the excess costs must
be paid from other State monies.)

A small sample of State respondents were initially selected during
program implementation for interviews for assessing costs and hourly
burden.  The respondents provided estimates for the costs associated
with the information collection activity.  The estimates were averaged
for the four individual activities involving information collections
that have already been described.  The averages were multiplied to
reflect participation by all States in the CWSRF program and by the
States' reported FTE (full-time employee) direct labor costs.

	b. Costs to Local Respondents

Local communities may incur costs in identifying and evaluating their
water quality problems.  Likewise, communities may need to absorb costs
related to the development and evaluation of alternative planning and
engineering approaches for solving the water quality problems.  These
planning and design costs may be eligible for CWSRF assistance at a
State's option.  For the purpose of this information collection, only
the direct costs associated with preparation of the application for
CWSRF financial assistance are reported.

During the period of this information collection activity, the CWSRF
program will experience growth in the number of communities which
receive CWSRF financial assistance.  The number of communities in each
State will vary significantly according to the funding available, the
types of projects to be assisted, the average cost/size of projects, and
other factors.  The Agency estimates that the number of local
communities to receive CWSRF assistance during the period of this
information collection to be as follows: 2012 - 74 per State; 2013 - 79
per State; 2014 - 84 per State.

Only communities which desire financial assistance from the CWSRF will
prepare applications.  Therefore, this information collection will
pertain only to a limited number of communities.  The specific
requirements and complexity of application materials varies widely among
the States which are responsible for CWSRF program implementation and
management.  The Agency estimates that on average, communities will
spend approximately 60 hours in completing their CWSRF assistance
applications.

6(c)	ESTIMATING AGENCY BURDEN AND COST

Estimation of the direct costs to EPA to implement the CWSRF Program
covers negotiation and analysis of the Intended Use Plan (including
Capitalization Grant Agreement and Application), and assessment of State
performance and compliance through the Annual Report and State Audit.
Analysis of documents, information, and data includes receipt,
validation, verification, and evaluation.

Authorization for the CWSRF Program expired in FY 1994, however, since
future appropriations for the program are anticipated, States will
continue to submit applications for capitalization grants.  Many States
are expected to make modifications to their programs.  These changes may
include new funding approaches (e.g., leveraging funds, alternative
sources for required State matching funds), revised environmental
procedures, and alternative methods to assure 	compliance

	The average annual Federal cost of $1,766,640 over the three-year
period was estimated as follows:

6(e)	REASONS FOR CHANGE IN BURDEN

The change in the State and local respondent burden of 76,500 hours is
attributed to an increased estimate on the number of respondents
interested in receiving CWSRF loans (adjustment). The previous ICR
estimated the number of respondents to be 3,825, while this ICR
estimates the number of respondents to be 4,080.  More entities will be
applying for CWSRF loans than in previous years.

6(f)	BURDEN STATEMENT

Average annual State and local burden for this ICR is estimated to be
441,405 hours; and average annual Federal burden is estimated to be
43,605 hours.  This includes the time for reviewing instructions,
searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data
needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing

Below is a summary of the median values for the stack parameters of the top five non EGU source categories in terms of SO2 emissions. In developing " model plant" stack parameters, we used the BART eligible sources identified in the CAIR modeling platform file for each of the categories. The data, presented in the table below, are all median values and are based on sources having actual SO2 emissions greater than 250 TPY. Using SO2 as the " controlling stack" is consistent with what was done for the EGU analysis and is appropriate since particle formation is initially preferentially driven by Sulfate. Note that we did not include Nitric Acid plants since there are no SO2 emissions from those plants. Also, Chemical Process sources were not included because there were only two SO2 sources and median values from those two stacks are not meaningful. The attached spreadsheet includes the raw data.

33 CFR Part 165

[Docket Number USCG-2023-0067]
RIN 1625-AA00

Safety Zone; Upper Mississippi River Mile Marker 490.2-489.7
Davenport, IA

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for
all navigable waters in the Upper Mississippi River at Mile Marker (MM)
490.2 to MM 489.7. The safety zone is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment from all potential hazards
associated with electrical line work. Entry of vessels or persons into
this zone is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain
of the Port Sector Upper Mississippi River (COTP) or a designated
representative.

DATES: This rule is effective without actual notice from February 7,
2023 through March 6, 2023. For the purposes of enforcement, actual
notice will be used from February 6, 2023 until February 7, 2023.

ADDRESSES: To view documents mentioned in this preamble as being
available in the docket, go to https://www.regulations.gov, type USCG-
2023-0067 in the search box and click ``Search.'' Next, in the Document
Type column, select ``Supporting & Related Material.''

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Table of Abbreviations

CFR Code of Federal Regulations
COTP Captain of The Port Sector Upper Mississippi River
DHS Department of Homeland Security
FR Federal Register
NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary 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)(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. The work for
this project has already begun and the NPRM process would hinder the
progress of the ongoing work and compromise public safety. We must
establish this temporary safety zone immediately and lack sufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those
comments before issuing the rule.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying this rule would be
contrary to the public interest due to potential safety hazards
associated with the ongoing electrical line work.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sector Upper
Mississippi River (COTP) has determined that potential hazards
associated with electrical line work will be a safety concern for
anyone operating or transiting within the Upper Mississippi River from
MM 490.2 to MM 489.7. This rule is needed to protect personnel,
vessels, and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the
safety zone while electrical line work is being conducted.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a safety zone during an electric power line
installation project over the Upper Mississippi River. The safety zone
will cover all navigable waters from MM 490.2 to MM 489.7. The duration
of the zone is intended to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine
environment in these navigable waters while electrical line work is
being conducted. No vessel or person will be permitted to enter the
safety zone without obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated
representative. A designated representative is a commissioned, warrant,
or petty officer of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) assigned to units under
the operational control of USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River. To seek

permission to enter, contact the COTP or a designated representative
via VHF-FM channel 16, or through USCG Sector Upper Mississippi River
at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Persons and vessels permitted to enter the safety zone
must comply with all lawful orders or directions issued by the COTP or
designated representative. The COTP or a designated representative will
inform the public of the effective period for the safety zone as well
as any changes in the dates and times of enforcement, as well as
reductions in the size of the safety zone as conditions improve,
through Local Notice to Mariners (LNMs), Broadcast Notices to Mariners
(BNMs), and/or Safety Marine Information Broadcast (SMIB), as
appropriate.

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 the First Amendment rights of protestors.

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, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on a safety zone
located on the Upper Mississippi River MM 490.2 to MM 489.7 near
Davenport, IA . The Safety Zone will be active only while work
associated with the power line crossing is being conducted, from
February 6, 2023 until March 6, 2023.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 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 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.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone 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 because the zone will be enforced only when
work is being conducted.
    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
call or email 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 will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    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
Directive 023-01, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, and
Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast
Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(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 a
safety zone encompassing the width of the Upper Mississippi River from
MM 490.2 to MM 489.7. It is categorically excluded from further review
under paragraph L60 of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual
023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A Record of Environmental Consideration
supporting this determination is available in the docket. For
instructions on locating the docket, see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.

[Docket No. FAA-2010-0615; Airspace Docket No. 10-ANM-5]

Modification of Class E Airspace; Arco, ID

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action will amend Class E airspace at Arco, ID.
Decommissioning of the Arco-Butte County Non-Directional Beacon (NDB)
at Arco-Butte County Airport has made this action necessary for the
safety and management of Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) operations at
the airport. This action also would adjust the geographic coordinates
of the airport.

DATES: Effective date, 0901 UTC, January 13, 2011. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
1 CFR Part 51, subject to the annual revision of FAA Order 7400.9 and
publication of conforming amendments.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Eldon Taylor, Federal Aviation
Administration, Operations Support Group, Western Service Center, 1601
Lind Avenue, SW., Renton, WA 98057; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

History

    On July 19, 2010, the FAA published in the Federal Register a
notice of proposed rulemaking to amend controlled airspace at Arco, ID
(75 FR 41773). Interested parties were invited to participate in this
rulemaking effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the
FAA. No comments were received. Subsequent to publication, the FAA
found the geographic coordinates of the airport needed to be adjusted.
This action makes the adjustment. With the exception of editorial
changes, and the changes described above, this rule is the same as that
proposed in the NPRM.
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.9U dated August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR Part 71.1. The Class
E airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in that Order.

The Rule

    This action amends Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
Part 71 by amending Class E extending upward from 700 feet above the
surface, at Arco-Butte County Airport, Arco, ID. Decommissioning of the
Arco-Butte County NDB has made this action necessary for the safety and
management of IFR operations at the airport. The geographic coordinates
of the airport also will be adjusted to coincide with the FAA's
National Aeronautical Navigation Services.
    The FAA has determined this regulation only involves an established
body of technical regulations for which frequent and routine amendments
are necessary to keep them operationally current. Therefore, this
regulation: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 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 discusses the authority of the FAA
Administrator. Subtitle VII, Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency's authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the FAA is charged with
prescribing regulations to assign the use of airspace necessary to
ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient use of airspace. This
regulation is within the scope of that authority as it amends
controlled airspace at Arco-Butte County Airport, Arco, ID.
