information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act, EPA has regulations
establishing emission standards and other requirements for various
classes of vehicles, engines, and evaporative emissions. These
regulations require that compliance be demonstrated prior to EPA
granting a ``Certificate of Conformity.'' EPA charges fees for
administering this certification program. In 2004 the fees program was
expanded to include non-road categories of vehicles and engines, such
as several categories of marine engines, locomotives, non-road
recreational vehicles, and many non-road compression-ignition and
spark-ignition engines. Manufacturers and importers of covered
vehicles, engines and components are required to pay the applicable
certification fees prior to their certification applications being
reviewed. Under section 208 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7542(c))
all

information, other than trade secret processes or methods, must be
publicly available. Information about fee payments is treated as
confidential information prior to certification.
    Form Numbers: 3520-29.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers or importers of motor
vehicles and engines.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Required to obtain or retain a
benefit (40 CFR part 1027).
    Estimated number of respondents: 597 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 927 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $59,683 (per year), includes $9,965
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 586 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to an increase in the number of
online fee forms from manufacturers.

Courtney Kerwin,
Director, Regulatory Support Division.

[Docket No. CP06-423-000]

Questar Overthrust Pipeline Company; Notice of Application

July 27, 2006
    Take notice that on July 19, 2006, Questar Overthrust Pipeline
Company (Overthrust), 180 East 100 South, Salt Lake City, Utah 84111,
filed an application under section 7 of the Natural Gas Act seeking
authority to construct and operate the Wamsutter Expansion Project
consisting of: (i) 77.2 miles of 36-inch diameter pipeline and related
facilities extending from the eastern terminus of its transmission
system located at Questar Pipeline Company's Kanda-Nightingale-Coleman
Compressor Complex and terminating at the proposed interconnect with
Rockies Express Pipeline LLC (REX) near Wamsutter, Wyoming (Wamsutter)
in Sweetwater County; (ii) 700 feet of 20-inch diameter main-line
connector pipeline and related facilities extending from the Rendezvous
Tap Valve \1\ to a tie-in point with Tie Line (TL) 90 in Lincoln
County, Wyoming; (iii) the new Roberson compressor station, totaling
30,000 horsepower (Hp), in Lincoln County, Wyoming; (iv) the new Rock
Springs compressor station, totaling 15,000 Hp, in Sweetwater County,
Wyoming; (v) three new receipt points; and (vi) one new delivery point,
with the project components located within Lincoln, Uinta and
Sweetwater Counties, Wyoming, all as more fully set forth in the
application which is on file with the Commission and open for public
inspection. These filings are available for review at the Commission in
the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site
at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket

number excluding the last three digits in the docket number field to
access the document. For assistance, please contact FERC Online Support
at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or for
TTY, contact<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Any questions regarding this application should be directed to
Lenard G. Wright, Manager, Federal Regulatory Affairs, Questar Pipeline
Company, 180 East 100 South, P.O. Box 45360, Salt Lake City, Utah
84145-0360 at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by fax at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    The proposed Wamsutter Expansion project will enable Overthrust to
transport an additional 750,000 Dth/d of natural gas from the proposed
new receipt points on Overthrust's interstate transmission system to an
existing interconnect with Wyoming Interstate Company, Ltd. (WIC), and
625,000 Dth/d to the proposed delivery point with REX near Wamsutter,
Wyoming. It is further explained that Overthrust has negotiated a long-
term capacity lease with REX, initially for 625,000 Dth/d of
incremental transportation capacity and a firm precedent agreement with
WIC for 125,000 Dth/d that supports construction of the proposed
project. Overthrust estimates the total cost for the Wamsutter
Expansion to be $202.3 million and requests the Commission issue an
order by March 31, 2007.
    On March 29, 2006, the Commission staff granted Overthrust's
request to utilize the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) Pre-
Filing Process and assigned Docket No. PF06-19-000 to staff activities
involving the Overthrust's expansion project. Now, as of the filing of
Overthrust's application on July 19, 2006, the NEPA Pre-Filing Process
for this project has ended. From this time forward, Overthrust's
proceeding will be conducted in Docket No. CP06-423-000, as noted in
the caption of this Notice. Additionally, the Commission will review
the project as a part of the Environmental Impact Statement being
prepared for the REX Project in Docket No. CP06-354-000.
    There are two ways to become involved in the Commission's review of
this project. First, any person wishing to obtain legal status by
becoming a party to the proceedings for this project should, on or
before the below listed comment date, file with the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First Street, NE., Washington, DC 20426, a
motion to intervene in accordance with the requirements of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.214 or
385.211) and the Regulations under the NGA (18 CFR 157.10). A person
obtaining party status will be placed on the service list maintained by
the Secretary of the

Commission and will receive copies of all documents filed by the
applicant and by all other parties. A party must submit 14 copies of
filings made with the Commission and must mail a copy to the applicant
and to every other party in the proceeding. Only parties to the
proceeding can ask for court review of Commission orders in the
proceeding.
    However, a person does not have to intervene in order to have
comments considered. The second way to participate is by filing with
the Secretary of the Commission, as soon as possible, an original and
two copies of comments in support of or in opposition to this project.
The Commission will consider these comments in determining the
appropriate action to be taken, but the filing of a comment alone will
not serve to make the filer a party to the proceeding. The Commission's
rules require that persons filing comments in opposition to the project
provide copies of their protests only to the party or parties directly
involved in the protest.
    Persons who wish to comment only on the environmental review of
this project should submit an original and two copies of their comments
to the Secretary of the Commission. Environmental commenters will be
placed on the Commission's environmental mailing list, will receive
copies of the environmental documents, and will be notified of meetings
associated with the Commission's environmental review process.
Environmental commenters will not be required to serve copies of filed
documents on all other parties. However, the non-party commenters will
not receive copies of all documents filed by other parties or issued by
the Commission (except for the mailing of environmental documents
issued by the Commission) and will not have the right to seek court
review of the Commission's final order.
    Motions to intervene, protests and comments may be filed
electronically via the internet in lieu of paper; see, 18 CFR
385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's Web site
under the ``e-Filing'' link. The Commission strongly encourages
electronic filings.
    Comment Date: August 17, 2006.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 607; SEC File No. 270-561; OMB Control No. 3235-0634.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the
collection of information summarized below. The Commission plans to
submit this existing collection of information to the Office of
Management and Budget for extension and approval.
    Regulation E (17 CFR 230.601 to 610a) allows the exemption of
securities issued by a small business investment company (``SBIC'')
which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940
(``Investment Company Act'') (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.) or a closed-end
investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business
development company (``BDC'') under the Investment Company Act from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (``Securities Act'') (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.), so long as the aggregate offering price of all
securities of the issuer that may be sold within a 12-month period does
not exceed $5,000,000 and certain other conditions are met. Rule 607
under Regulation E (17 CFR 230.607) entitled, ``Sales material to be
filed,'' requires sales material used in connection with securities
offerings under Regulation E to be filed with the Commission at least
five days (excluding weekends and holidays) prior to its use.\1\
Commission staff reviews sales material filed under rule 607 for
materially misleading statements and omissions. The requirements of
rule 607 are designed for investor protection.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Sales material includes advertisements, articles or other
communications to be published in newspapers, magazines, or other
periodicals; radio and television scripts; and letters, circulars or
other written communications proposed to be sent given or otherwise
communicated to more than ten persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Respondents to this collection of information include SBICs and
BDCs making an offering of securities under Regulation E. Each
respondent's reporting burden under rule 607 relates to the burden
associated with filing its sales material electronically. The burden of
filing electronically, however, is negligible and there have been no
filings made under this rule, so this collection of information does
not impose any burden on the industry. However, we are requesting one
annual response and an annual burden of one hour for administrative
purposes. The estimate of average burden hours is made solely for
purposes of the Paperwork Reduction Act and is not derived from a
quantitative, comprehensive, or even representative survey or study of
the burdens associated with Commission rules and forms.
    The requirements of this collection of information are mandatory.
Responses will not be kept confidential. 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 control number.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) 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; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of
the burden of the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to Charles Boucher, Director/
CIO, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O Shirley Martinson, 6432

 [File No. 500-1]

In the Matter of Sintec Co. Ltd.: Order of Suspension of Trading

June 1, 2010.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Sintec Co. Ltd. because it has not filed any periodic reports since the
period ended December 31, 2001.

    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of the above-listed company. Therefore, it is ordered,
pursuant to Section 12(k) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that
trading in the securities of the above-listed company is suspended for
the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT on June 1, 2010, through 11:59 p.m. EDT
on June 14, 2010.

    By the Commission.

            2014 Compliance Recertification Application (CRA-2014)
       Compliance Application Review Document (CARD for Section 194.45)
                  Consideration of the Presence of Resources

45.0 Background

	Section 194.45 implements the assurance requirement that the disposal system be sited so that the benefits of natural barriers will compensate for any increased probability of disruptions to the disposal system performance resulting from exploration and development of existing natural resources (61 FR 5232).

      To comply with the requirements of the Section 194.45, a clear demonstration of the uniqueness of the site, characteristics of the resources present, and their extractability for profit must be considered.  A brief description of each of these aspects is presented below.

	Site characterization  -  contains information relative to geology, hydrology, geomechanical, and mining conditions.  Each category has several factors that are important in establishing the advantages of the repository site.

	Resource characterization  -  all naturally occurring resources must be properly documented with illustrations.  This includes characteristics, location, extent and estimate of the resource and/or reserve.

	Extractability  -  identifies the resources that are currently being exploited in the area.  This information should also contain details on the reserve potential for future exploitation.

45.1 Requirements

	"Any compliance application shall include information that demonstrates that the favorable characteristics of the disposal system compensate for the presence of resources in the vicinity of the disposal system and the likelihood of the disposal system being disturbed as a result of the presence of those resources.  If performance assessments predict that the disposal system meets the containment requirements of §191.13 of this chapter, then the Agency will assume that the requirements of this section and §191.14(e) of this chapter have been fulfilled."

45.2 1998 Certification Decision

      To meet the requirements for Section 194.45, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) expected the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to demonstrate that any performance assessment (PA) had fully and appropriately incorporated the potential effects of human intrusion on Waste Isolation Pilot Plant's (WIPP) containment of waste.  As described in the Compliance Application Guidance (CAG-EPA 1996c), EPA expected the Compliance Certification Application (CCA) to document:  (1) that the effects of mining and drilling over the regulatory time frame are included in the performance assessment (PA); (2) that the effects of any activities that occur in the vicinity of the disposal system, or are expected to occur in the vicinity of the disposal system soon after disposal, are incorporated in the PA; and (3) that the results of the PA demonstrate compliance with the containment requirements of EPA's radioactive waste disposal regulations (Section 191.13).  The CCA was required to provide specific cross-references to detailed information on incorporation of human intrusion into PA (EPA 1996c, CAG, p. 65).

	DOE described the measures it took to comply with the requirements of Section 194.45 in Chapter 7.5 of the CCA.  Chapter 7.5 stated that the results of the PA, taking into account the potential for resource exploration, met EPA's containment requirements as dictated by the disposal regulations and compliance criteria (p. 7-96).  DOE concluded that the WIPP's favorable characteristics compensate for any possible disturbance (p. 7-98).  DOE also provided cross-references for the following information in Chapter 7 of the CCA (p. 7-97 to 7-98):

	EPA found that the information contained Chapter 7.5, portions of the CCA cross-referenced in Chapter 7.5, and other relevant documentation demonstrated that DOE took into account the potential for resource exploration and met the Agency's requirements based on the results of the PA.  Furthermore, DOE's Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the WIPP indicated that resource considerations were taken into account during the disposal system's site selection process.  Based on these factors, EPA concluded that DOE complied with the requirements of Section 194.45.

	A complete description of EPA's 1998 Certification Decision for Section 194.45 can be obtained from EPA Air Docket, A-93-02, Items V-A-1 and V-B-2.

45.3 Changes in the 2004 Compliance Recertification Application (2004 CRA)

	DOE did not report any significant changes to the information on which EPA based the 1998 Certification Decision.  Chapter 7.5 of the 2004 Compliance Recertification Application (2004 CRA) (pp.7-87 to 7-89) contained all the changes related to resource considerations since 1998.  However, DOE did initiate some minor changes relative to features, events, and processes (FEPs) at WIPP, which were included in the 2004 CRA but did not affect the outcome or the PA process.  These changes are mentioned below. In addition, minor clarifying language has been added to show where resource-related information can be found (e.g., 2004 CRA Chapter 6.5, CCA Appendices GCR, IRD, and DEL).

 Enhanced oil and gas production (H28)  -  Screening decision was changed SO-R to SO-C.
 Hydrocarbon storage (H29)  -  Screening decision was changed SO-R to SO-C
 Liquid waste disposal (H27)  -  Screening decision was changed SO-R to SO-C
 Solution mining for potash (H58)  -  New FEP for CRA  SO-R
 Solution mining for other resources (H59) New FEP for CRA SO-C
   (SO-R, Screened Out  -  Regulatory, SO-C, Screened Out  -  Consequences)

      DOE's discussion of these changes indicated that "FEPs screening for the 2004 CRA is not significantly different than the CCA, but now reflects the most recent information available."

45.3.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2004 Recertification

	Based on EPA's review of the activities and conditions in and around the WIPP site, EPA did not identify any significant changes related to the presence of resources since the 1998 Certification Decision.

	The 2004 CRA discusses the purpose of this assurance requirement.  In doing so, DOE summarized EPA's 40 CFR Part 194 guidance, stating that they:

 documented that the effects of mining and drilling over the regulatory time frame have been incorporated into PAs according to the requirements of Sections 194.32, 194.33, and 194.43;
 documented that PAs incorporate the effects on the disposal system of any activities that occur in the vicinity of the disposal system or are expected to occur in the vicinity of the disposal system soon after disposal according to the requirements of Section 194.32; and
 documented whether the results of PAs demonstrate compliance with the containment requirements of Section 194.13.

      The results of the recertification performance assessments were documented in Chapter 6.5 of the 2004 CRA and in supplemental information on the 2004 Performance Assessment Baseline Calculation (2004 PABC).  In addition, the impacts of resource development outside the controlled area were considered in the development of the WIPP's conceptual models, as well as in the site selection process (as previously discussed).

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the consideration of the presence of resources requirements of Section 194.45.

45.3.2 2004 Recertification Decision

	Based on a review and evaluation of the 2004 CRA, supplemental information in appendices GRC, IRL, DEL provided by DOE (FDMS Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0025, Air Docket A-98-49) and an assessment of changes since 1998, EPA determined that DOE continues to comply with the requirements for Section 194.45.

45.4 Changes in the 2009 Compliance Recertification Application (2009 CRA)
	In each recertification application, DOE submits any new information that could impact or generate inconsistencies in the screening arguments and decisions presented during the prior certification or recertification (2004 CRA).  Changes to the WIPP baseline since the 2004 CRA have been identified and evaluated to determine their impact upon the WIPP FEPs baseline.  This reevaluation process is very similar to the process used for the 2004 CRA.  The FEPs baseline process is managed according to Sandia National Laboratories Activity/Project Specific Procedure 9-4, Performing FEPS Baseline Impact Assessments for Planned and Unplanned Changes (Revision 1) (Kirkes 2006).  The current FEPs baseline is presented in the 2009 CRA, Appendix SCR-2009.  Table 32-1 lists the 2009 CRA FEPs and their screening decisions, and summarizes any changes to related information since the 2004 CRA.  For the 2009 CRA, a reassessment of FEPs conducted by DOE led to the conclusion that out of 235 FEPs considered for the 2004 CRA, 188 have not been changed, 35 have been updated with new information, 10 have been split into 20 similar FEPs, 1 screening argument has been changed to correct errors discovered during the evaluation, and 1 has had its screening decision changed.  The total number of FEPs changed in the 2009 CRA was 245.  DOE determined "that none of these new or updated FEPs require changes to PA models or codes; existing models represent these FEPs in their current configurations".
      Section 194.32, "Scope of Performance Assessment" requires the identification, selection, screening, and incorporation of all significant processes and events into PA.  DOE has taken a comprehensive approach in meeting the requirements of the section as documented here and in Appendix SCR-2009 of this CRA.  The process used is consistent with evaluations of WIPP FEPs in past compliance applications.  Any new information that relates to WIPP features, events, and processes is identified and incorporated into PA as appropriate.
      Section 45 of the 2009 Compliance Recertification Application (2009 CRA) contains all changes related to resource considerations since 1998 and 2004.  DOE did, however, update the drilling rate LAMBDAD (see 2009 CRA Appendix DATA-2009 and Appendix PA-2009 Section PA-2.1.1), and changed the duration of direct brine releases expressed by PA parameter MAXFLOW (2009 CRA Appendix PA-2009 Section PA-2.1.1).  These changes do not significantly affect PA calculations, but serve to incorporate the most recent information available related to resource exploitation in the vicinity of the WIPP site.

45.4.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2009 Recertification

	Based on EPA's review of the activities and conditions in and around the WIPP site, EPA did not identify any significant changes related to the presence of resources since the 1998 Certification or 2004 Recertification decisions.

	The results of the recertification performance assessments are documented in the 2009 CRA (Appendix PA-2009, Sections PA-7.0, PA-8.0, and PA-9.0) and in supplemental information (see Clayton et al.2009) on the 2009 Performance Assessment Baseline Calculation (2009 PABC).  PA calculations continue to predict releases within the regulatory limit. Therefore, favorable characteristics continue to outweigh risks associated with the presence of resources at the site.  In addition, the impacts of resource development outside the controlled area were considered in the development of the WIPP's conceptual models, as well as in the site selection process (as previously discussed).

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the consideration of the presence of resources requirements of Section 194.45.

45.4.2 2009 Recertification Decision

	Based on a review and evaluation of the 2009 CRA, supplemental information in appendices SCR-2009, DATA-2009, and PA-2009 provided by DOE (FDMS Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0330, Air Docket A-98-49) and an assessment of changes since 2004, EPA determines that DOE continues to comply with the requirements for Section 194.45.

45.5 Changes in the 2014 Compliance Recertification Application (2014 CRA)

	New information that could impact or generate inconsistencies in the screening arguments and decisions since the 2009 recertification (2009 CRA) was identified and evaluated by DOE in preparing the 2014 CRA FEPs baseline. The evaluation process was similar to that used in previous CRAs. The process was managed according to Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) Specific Procedure SP 9-4, Performing FEPs Baseline Impact Assessments for Planned and Unplanned Changes, Revision 3 (Kirkes 2013a). All 245 FEPs in the 2009 CRA baseline were reviewed for the 2014 CRA. SNL's review concluded that the FEPs in the 2009 baseline adequately addressed the types of features, events, and processes relevant to the 2014 CRA. Although some screening arguments were updated and the screening classification for one FEP was changed due to a repository design change, no FEPs in the 2009 baseline needed to be deleted and none needed to be added. The current FEP baseline therefore consists of the same 245 FEPs as in the aforementioned 2009 CRA baseline. The current baseline is described in the 2014 CRA, Appendix SCR-2014 (DOE 2014), and the changes are summarized in Kirkes (2013b). Of the 245 FEPs in the baseline for the 2014 CRA, 184 FEPs were unchanged from the 2009 CRA and 61 FEPs were updated with new information (DOE 2014, Appendix SCR-2014, p. SCR-1).

      Of the 61 FEPs that were updated with new information, the 6 FEPs listed in Table 45-1 addressed changes related to the presence of resources. The WIPP site lies within the Delaware Basin and the resources of concern to repository performance are generally those within that basin. Two of the 6 FEPs concerned drilling for oil and gas exploration and exploitation, and were updated with new drilling rate and borehole plugging pattern information. Two additional FEPs concerned groundwater resources and were updated with the most recent monitoring information on water level trends. One FEP identified renewed activity at the previously abandoned workings of the Eddy Potash mine but the solution activity lies just outside the Delaware Basin boundary. The last FEP was updated to identify two new brine wells put into service in the Delaware Basin since 2009 CRA and another two brine wells taken out of service, plugged, and abandoned. These changes do not significantly affect PA calculations but serve to incorporate the most recent information available related to resource exploitation in the vicinity of the WIPP site.

45.5.1 Evaluation of Compliance for 2014 Recertification

	Based on EPA's review of the activities and conditions in and around the WIPP site, EPA did not identify any significant changes related to the presence of resources since the 2009 Recertification decision.

	The results of the recertification performance assessments are documented in the 2014 CRA (DOE 2014, Appendix PA-2014, Sections PA-7.0, PA-8.0, and PA-9.0) and in supplemental information (see Camphouse et al. 2013).  PA calculations continue to predict releases within the regulatory limit. Therefore, favorable characteristics continue to outweigh risks associated with the presence of resources at the site.  In addition, the impacts of resource development outside the controlled area were considered in the development of the WIPP's conceptual models as well as in the site selection process, as previously discussed.

	EPA did not receive any public comments on DOE's continued compliance with the consideration of the presence of resources requirements of Section 194.45.

45.5.2 2014 Recertification Decision

      Based on a review and evaluation of the 2014 CRA, supplemental information in appendices SCR-2014, DATA-2014, and PA-2014 provided by DOE (Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0609), and an assessment of changes since 2009 CRA, EPA determines that DOE continues to comply with the requirements for Section 194.45.

[Docket No. FAA-2013-1073; Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-039-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Airplanes Originally Manufactured by
Lockheed for the Military as P-3A and P3A Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for
certain airplanes, originally manufactured by Lockheed Martin

proposed AD was prompted by a determination that the existing
maintenance program must be revised to address fatigue cracking of the
airplane. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance or
inspection program, as applicable, to incorporate certain limitations.
We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking, which
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

Discussion

    We reviewed accident investigation reports involving other
restricted category firefighting airplanes, specifically Model C-130
and P2V airplanes. Previous accident investigations for these other
firefighting airplanes revealed that the existing maintenance programs
for airplanes operating under restricted category type certificate data
sheets (TCDS) are not adequate to maintain the aircraft for continued
safe operation. Therefore, we have determined that it is necessary to
incorporate an airworthiness limitation section based on damage
tolerance into the Model P-3A airplane maintenance

program to ensure continue safe operation in a restricted category. The
adverse loading spectrum for the restricted category firefighting
airplanes could result in fatigue cracking, which could result in
reduced structural integrity of the airplane.
    The initial Model P-3A inspection program was based on the navy
usage (or baseline usage) as defined by the U.S. Navy. The new
airworthiness limitations addressed in this proposed AD are separated
into baseline usage and usage that includes aerial dispensing of
liquids. For airplanes with combined baseline and aerial dispersion
usage accumulated, the operator must determine the total remaining life
and the total remaining hours or flights until inspection is due for
the principle structural element (PSE) inspection requirements by
combining the fatigue damage accumulated during the baseline and the
aerial dispersion of liquids usage.

Relevant Service Information

    We reviewed Avenger Aircraft and Services P3A Airworthiness
Limitations Section--FAA TCDS A32NM & TCDS T00006LA, Forest and
Wildlife Conservation Usage (Includes Aerial Dispensing of Liquids),
AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D, dated August 2, 2010, which describes
airworthiness limitations that include structural inspection
requirements.

FAA's Determination

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

Proposed AD Requirements

    For Model P3A and P-3A airplanes, this proposed AD would require
revising the maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, to
incorporate airworthiness limitations of Avenger Aircraft and Services
P3A Airworthiness Limitations Section--FAA TCDS A32NM & TCDS T00006LA,
Forest and Wildlife Conservation Usage (Includes Aerial Dispensing of
Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D, dated August 2, 2010.
    This proposed AD requires revisions to certain operator maintenance
documents to include new actions (e.g., inspections). Compliance with
these actions is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes that have
been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the areas addressed
by this proposed AD, the operator may not be able to accomplish the
actions described in the revisions. In this situation, to comply with
14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must request approval for an alternative
method of compliance according to the requirements of paragraph (j) of
this proposed AD. The request should include a description of changes
to the required actions that will ensure the continued damage tolerance
of the affected structure.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD affects 8 airplanes of U.S.
registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this proposed AD:

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

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would not
have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship
between the national Government and the States, or on the distribution
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify this proposed
regulation:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866,
    (2) Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979),
    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (4) 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new airworthiness
directive (AD):
Lockheed (Original Manufacturer): Docket No. FAA-2013-1073;
Directorate Identifier 2012-NM-039-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by March 7, 2014.

(b) Affected ADs

    None.

(c) Applicability

    This AD applies to all P-3A or P3A airplanes, originally
manufactured by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company for the
military, identified in paragraphs (c)(1) and (c)(2) of this AD,
certificated in any category:

    (1) Aero Union Corporation Model P3A airplanes; and
    (2) USDA Forest Service Model P-3A airplanes.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 55, Stabilizers;
57, Wings.

(e) Unsafe Condition

    This AD was prompted by a determination that the existing
maintenance or inspection program must be revised to address fatigue
cracking of the airplane. We are issuing this AD to detect and
correct fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural
integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

    Comply with this AD within the compliance times specified,
unless already done.

(g) Maintenance Program Revision

    Within 12 months after the effective date of this AD, revise the
maintenance or inspection program, as applicable, by incorporating
airworthiness limitations specified in Avenger Aircraft and Services
P3A Airworthiness Limitations Section--FAA TCDS A32NM & TCDS
T00006LA, Forest and Wildlife Conservation Usage (Includes Aerial
Dispensing of Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D, dated August 2,
2010.

(h) Compliance Times for Modifications, Replacements, and Inspections

    For the tasks specified in Part-I, Sections B. through E., of

of Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D, dated August 2, 2010, the
compliance times are specified in paragraphs (h)(i) through (h)(iv)
of this AD. For airplanes with combined baseline and aerial
dispensing usage accumulated, the total remaining life and the total
remaining hours or flights until inspection is due for the principle
structural element (PSE) inspection requirements is determined by
combining the fatigue damage accumulated during the baseline and the
aerial dispensing of liquids usage. The usage must be combined in
accordance with a method approved by the Manager, Los Angeles
Aircraft Certification Office (ACO), FAA.
    (i) For the baseline life limits, the compliance time is: At the
applicable ``flight hours'' or ``flights,'' whichever occurs first,
specified in Part-I, Section B, ``Life Limitations Baseline Usage,''
of Procedure 01-00-005, of Avenger Aircraft and Services P3A
Airworthiness Limitations Section--FAA TCDS A32NM & TCDS T00006LA,

(Includes Aerial Dispensing of Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D,
dated August 2, 2010; or within 12 months after the effective date
of this AD; whichever occurs later. Where compliance times are
specified as ``threshold interval hours,'' those compliance times
are total flight hours. Where the compliance times are specified as
``threshold interval flights,'' those compliance times are total
flight cycles.
    (iii) For the aerial dispensing of liquids life limits, the
compliance time is: At the applicable ``flight hours'' or
``flights,'' whichever occurs first, specified in Part-I, Section D,
``Life Limitations--Aerial Dispensing of Liquids Usage'' of
Procedure 01-00-005, of Avenger Aircraft and Services P3A
Airworthiness Limitations Section--FAA TCDS A32NM & TCDS T00006LA,
Forest and Wildlife Conservation Usage (Includes Aerial Dispensing
of Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D, dated August 2, 2010; or
within 12 months after the effective date of this AD; whichever
occurs later.
    (iv) For the aerial dispensing of liquids PSE inspection
requirements, the compliance time is: At the applicable ``threshold
interval hours'' or threshold interval flights,'' whichever occurs
first, as specified in Tables E.1, E2, and E.3, of Part-I, Section
E, ``Principle Structural Element Inspection Requirements--Aerial
Dispensing of Liquids Usage,'' of Procedure 01-00-005, of Avenger
Aircraft and Services P3A Airworthiness Limitations Section--FAA
TCDS A32NM & TCDS T00006LA, Forest and Wildlife Conservation Usage
(Includes Aerial Dispensing of Liquids), AAS-ALS-07-001, Revision D,
dated August 2, 2010; or within 12 months after the effective date
of this AD; whichever occurs later.

(i) No Alternative Actions, Intervals, and/or Critical Design
Configuration Control Limitations

    After accomplishing the revision required by paragraph (g) of
this AD, no alternative actions (e.g., inspections), and/or
intervals may be used unless the actions, and intervals are approved
as an AMOC in accordance with the procedures specified in paragraph
(j) of this AD.

(j) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs)

    (1) The Manager, Los Angeles ACO, FAA, has the authority to
approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using the procedures found
in 14 CFR 39.19. In accordance with 14 CFR 39.19, send your request
to your principal inspector or local Flight Standards District
Office, as appropriate. If sending information directly to the
manager of the ACO, send it to the attention of the person
identified in paragraph (k) of this AD.
    (2) Before using any approved AMOC, notify your appropriate
principal inspector, or lacking a principal inspector, the manager
of the local flight standards district office/certificate holding

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal
Agencies must obtain approval from the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) for each collection of information they conduct or sponsor.
``Collection of information'' is defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(3) and 5 CFR
1320.3(c) and includes Agency requests or requirements that members of
the public submit reports, keep records, or provide information to a
third party. Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A))
requires Federal Agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal
Register concerning each proposed collection of information, including
each proposed extension of an existing collection of information,
before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To comply with
this requirement, FDA is publishing notice of the proposed collection
of information set forth in this document.
    With respect to the following collection of information, FDA
invites comments on these topics: (1) Whether the proposed collection
of information is necessary for the proper performance of FDA's
functions, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of FDA's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (4) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques, when
appropriate, and other forms of information technology.

Mammography Quality Standards Act Requirements--21 CFR Part 900

OMB Control Number 0910-0309--Extension

    The Mammography Quality Standards Act (Pub. L. 102-539) requires
the establishment of a Federal certification and inspection program for
mammography facilities; regulations and standards for accreditation and
certification bodies for mammography facilities; and standards for
mammography equipment, personnel, and practices, including quality
assurance. The intent of these regulations is to assure safe, reliable,
and accurate mammography on a nationwide level. Under the regulations,
as a first step in becoming certified, mammography facilities must
become accredited by an FDA-approved accreditation body (AB). This
requires undergoing a review of their clinical images and providing the
AB with information showing that they meet the equipment, personnel,
quality assurance, and quality control standards, and have a medical
reporting and recordkeeping program, a medical outcomes audit program,
and a consumer complaint mechanism. On the basis of this accreditation,
facilities are then certified by FDA or an FDA-approved State
certification agency and must prominently display their certificate.
These actions are taken to ensure safe, accurate, and reliable
mammography on a nationwide basis.
    The following sections of Title 21 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) are not included in the burden tables because they
are considered usual and customary practice and were part of the
standard of care prior to the implementation of the regulations,
therefore, they resulted in no additional burden: 21 CFR 900.12(c)(1)
and (3) and 900.3(f)(1). 21 CFR 900.24(c) was also not included in the
burden tables because if a certifying State had its approval withdrawn,
FDA would take over certifying authority for the affected facilities.
Because FDA already has all the certifying State's electronic records,
there wouldn't be an additional reporting burden.
    We have rounded numbers in the ``Total Hours'' column in all three
burden tables. (Where the number was a portion of 1 hour, it has been
rounded to 1 hour. All other ``Total Hours'' have been rounded to the
nearest whole number.)
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

    FDA has adjusted the number of respondents for Sec.  900.3(c) ``AB
renewal of approval'' to one. This adjustment resulted in a 14-hour
increase to the hour-burden estimate. Additionally, we updated the
capital costs and operating and maintenance costs by adjusting them for
inflation since the last update to those estimates. This adjustment
resulted in a $1,893,071 increase to the estimated capital and
operating and maintenance costs ($24,410,106 previously; $26,303,177
current extension request).

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. CP07-207-000]

Colorado Interstate Gas Company; Notice of Availability of the
Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Proposed High Plains
Expansion Project

December 28, 2007.
    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) has prepared this Final Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) for the natural gas pipeline facilities proposed by Colorado
Interstate Gas Company (CIG) under the above-referenced docket. CIG's
High Plains Expansion Project (Project) would be located in Weld,
Morgan, and Adams Counties, Colorado.
    The Final EIS was prepared to satisfy the requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act. The FERC staff concludes that the
proposed Project, with the appropriate mitigation measures as
recommended, would have limited adverse environmental impact.
    The purpose of the Project is to expand CIG's existing pipeline
system along Colorado's Front Range in order to provide additional
transportation services to this rapidly growing market. CIG is
proposing to construct about 163.7 miles of 24-inch and 30-inch-
diameter pipeline in four separate pipeline segments and associated
ancillary facilities.
    The Final EIS addresses the potential environmental impacts
resulting from the construction and operation of the following
facilities:
     Line 250A: 64.5 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline and
20.3 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline that would extend from CIG's
existing Cheyenne Compressor Station to an interconnect point on the
proposed Line 251A in northeast Adams County;
     Line 251A: 57.9 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline between
CIG's existing Watkins and Fort Morgan Compressor Stations;
     Line 252A: 14.9 miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline
extending westward from a point on the proposed Line 250A about one
mile north of the existing Hudson Power Plant in the Town of Hudson,
Colorado, to a new interconnect with Public Service Company of
Colorado's existing Tri-Town facilities in Weld County, Colorado;
     Line 253A: 6.1 miles of 24-inch-diameter pipeline
extending westward from the Watkins Compressor Station to CIG's
existing East Denver measurement facility in Adams County, Colorado;
     Ten new meter stations and 19 new block valves; and
     Twelve pig launcher/receivers.
    The entire project would be capable of transporting about 899,000
decatherms of gas per day. CIG proposes to begin construction in
January 2008. It would put each pipeline segment into service as it is
completed, and the entire Project would be in service by October 2008.
    The Final EIS has been placed in the public files of the FERC and
is available for public inspection at: Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission, Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE., Room 2A,
Washington, DC 20426,<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    A limited number of copies of the Final EIS are available from the
Public Reference Room identified above. In addition, CD copies of the
Final EIS have been mailed to affected landowners; various federal,
state, and local government agencies; elected officials; environmental
and public interest groups; Native American tribes; local libraries and
newspapers; intervenors; and other individuals that expressed an
interest in the proposed Project. Hard-copies of the Final EIS have
also been mailed to those who requested that format during the scoping
and comment periods for the proposed Project.
    Additional information about the proposed Project is available from
the Commission's Office of External Affairs, at 1-866-208-FERC or on
the FERC Internet Web site (http://www.ferc.gov).
