NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis

    Under Title 33 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 109.05,
U.S. Coast Guard District Commanders are delegated the authority to
establish anchorage grounds by the Commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard establishes anchorage grounds under Section 7 of the
Act of March 4, 1915, as amended (38 Stat. 1053; 46 U.S.C. 70006) and
places these regulations in Title 33 CFR part 110, subpart B. The Coast
Guard is proposing the rulemaking to establish a Rice Island anchorage
ground in the Columbia River.
    In the last several years, the Columbia River Marine Transportation
System has seen an increase in commercial traffic and vessel size, thus
creating a concern for anchorage capacity within the river system. The
Columbia River Steamship Operators Association and the Columbia River
Pilots have formally requested the Coast Guard review and evaluate the
establishment of this new anchorage ground to address the safety and
navigation concerns with the expanding vessel traffic in the Lower
Columbia River.
    The purpose of this rulemaking is to establish a Federal anchorage
ground in the Lower Columbia River that will be maintained and used by
commercial vessels. The Coast Guard is proposing this rulemaking under
authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034.

III. Discussion of Proposed Rule

    The Coast Guard is proposing to establish a new anchorage ground in
the vicinity of Rice Island, in the Lower Columbia River. The
anticipated users of the proposed anchorage ground are commercial
vessels and their attending tug, tow, or push boats. The approximate
depth of this proposed anchorage ground would be 43 feet to align with
the federal channel depth and would accommodate a variety of vessel
types and configurations. An illustration showing the location of the

proposed anchorage ground is available in the docket.
    When the Columbia River Federal channel was deepened in 2010, the
size and draft of commercial vessels was increased, but the anchorage
capacity within the river system was not. The vessels transiting in the
Columbia River system now are longer and have a deeper draft than
before the channel was deepened. Having larger vessels and increased
transit frequency causes concern for safe navigation and emergency
situations with limited anchorage capacity. The proposed Rice Island
anchorage ground would double the anchorage capacity in Astoria, OR,
for larger vessels, and allow the pilots to spread out distances
between ships during storms or high wind events. The increased
anchorage capacity in the Columbia River would also alleviate concern
for anchorage availability for vessels experiencing emergencies or
needing a harbor of safe refuge. The regulatory text we are proposing
appears at the end of this document.

IV. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this proposed 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.

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 NPRM has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094 (Modernizing Regulatory Review).
Accordingly, the NPRM has not been reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB).
    This regulatory action determination is based on the location and
size of the proposed anchorage ground, as well as the vessel traffic
and anchoring data provided by the Coast Guard Navigation Center. The
regulation would ensure approximately 1.745 square miles of anchorage
grounds are designated to provide necessary commercial deep draft
anchorages and enhance the navigational safety of commercial vessels
transiting to, from, and within the Columbia River. The impact on
routine navigation is expected to be minimal because the proposed
anchorage ground is located outside the federal channel and is
consistent with current anchorage habits. When not occupied, vessels
would be able to maneuver in, around, and through the anchorages.

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
proposed rule would not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to use the
anchorage ground may be small entities, for reasons stated in section
IV.A above, this proposed rule would not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    If you think that your business, organization, or governmental
jurisdiction qualifies as a small entity and that this proposed rule
would have a significant economic impact on it, please submit a comment
(see ADDRESSES) explaining why you think it qualifies and how and to
what degree this rule would economically affect it.
    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 proposed rule. If the proposed 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. The Coast Guard will not
retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this
proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This proposed rule would 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 proposed 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 proposed rule does not have tribal implications under
Executive Order 13175 (Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments) because it would 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. If
you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or
Indian tribes, please call or email the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

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 proposed rule would not
result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the potential effects of
this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this proposed 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 made
a preliminary determination 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 proposed rule involves
establishing an anchorage ground, Rice Island Anchorage, in an area
traditionally used by commercial ships for anchoring in the Lower
Columbia River system; and increasing the anchorage capacity of the
river system. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph L59(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS
Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A preliminary 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. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this proposed rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. 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. 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 would amend Class E airspace extending upward from 1,200 feet
above the surface at Kaltag Airport, AK, King Salmon Airport, AK,
Kodiak Airport, AK, Manokotak Airport, AK, Middleton Island Airport,
AK, and Hooper Bay Airport, AK, to support IFR operations in standard
instrument approach and departure procedures at these airports.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document proposes to amend FAA Order 7400.11C, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, dated August 13, 2018, and effective
September 15, 2018. FAA Order 7400.11C is publicly available as listed
in the ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11C lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by modifying Class E airspace extending
upward from 1,200 feet above the surface at Hooper Bay Airport, AK;
Kaltag Airport, AK; King Salmon Airport, AK; Kodiak Airport, AK;
Manokotak Airport, AK; and Middleton Island Airport, AK. This action
would add language to the legal descriptions of these airports that
reads ``excluding that airspace that extends beyond 12 miles from the
shoreline.''
    Class E airspace designations are published in paragraph 6005 of
FAA Order 7400.11C, dated August 13, 2018, and effective September 15,
2018, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E
airspace designations listed in this document will be published
subsequently in the Order.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current,
and is non-controversial and unlikely to result in adverse or negative
comments. It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action''
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since
this is a routine matter that will only affect air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
would not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

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

STD, -100 LR, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200
LR, and -200 IGW airplanes. The existing AD currently requires revising
the maintenance program to incorporate modifications in the
Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) of the Embraer S.A. ERJ 190
Maintenance Review Board Report (MRBR). Since we issued that AD, new
inspection tasks and their respective thresholds and intervals have
been issued. This proposed AD would require revising the maintenance
program to incorporate modifications in the Airworthiness Limitation
Section (ALS) of the Embraer S.A. ERJ 190 Maintenance Review Board
Report (MRBR) to include new inspection tasks and their respective
thresholds and intervals. We are proposing this AD since failure to
inspect these structural components according to the new ALS tasks,
thresholds, and intervals could prevent a timely detection of fatigue
cracking, which if not properly addressed, could result in reduced
structural integrity of the airplane.

Discussion

    On May 13, 2010, we issued AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR
30277, June 1, 2010). That AD required actions intended to address an
unsafe condition on the products listed above.
    Since we issued AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR 30277,
June 1, 2010), the Ag[ecirc]ncia Nacional de Avia[ccedil][atilde]o
Civil (ANAC), which is the airworthiness authority for Brazil, has
issued Brazilian Airworthiness Directives 2010-08-03, dated September
20, 2010, and 2011-05-04, dated June 16, 2011 (referred to after this
as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    During the airplane full scale fatigue test, cracks were found
in some structural components of the airplane. Analysis of these
cracks resulted in modifications on the Airworthiness Limitation
Section (ALS) of Embraer ERJ 190 Maintenance Review Board Report
(MRBR), to include new inspections tasks and its respective
thresholds and intervals.
    Failure to inspect these structural components, according to the
new tasks, thresholds and intervals, could prevent a timely
detection of fatigue cracking. These cracks, if not properly
addressed, could adversely affect the structural integrity of the
airplane.
    Since this condition may occur in other airplanes of the same
type and affects flight safety, a corrective action is required.
Thus, sufficient reason exists to request compliance with this
[ANAC] AD in the indicated time limit.

The required action is revising the maintenance program to incorporate
new structural inspection requirements. You may obtain further
information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Embraer S.A. has issued Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, of Appendix A, Airworthiness Limitations
(AL), of the EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928,
Revision 5, dated November 11, 2010; and Temporary Revision (TR) 5-1,
dated February 11, 2011, to Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, of Appendix A, Airworthiness Limitations
(AL), of the EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review Board Report, MRB-1928,
Revision 5, dated November 11, 2010. The actions described in this
service information are intended to correct the unsafe condition
identified in the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this AD because we
evaluated all pertinent information and determined an unsafe condition
exists and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same
type design.

Correction To Restate Table 1 of AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75
FR 30277, June 1, 2010)

    Table 1 of AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1,
2010), contains a reference to EMBRAER Temporary Revision (TR) 2-6,
dated December 12, 2008, to Part 2--Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, of Appendix A, Airworthiness Limitations
(AL), of the EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review

Board Report, MRB-1928. We have determined that the correct date for
that TR should be February 12, 2008. That information is reflected in
table 1 of this proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 88 products of U.S. registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319
(75 FR 30277, June 1, 2010), and retained in this proposed AD take
about 1 work-hour per product, at an average labor rate of $85 per work
hour. Based on these figures, the estimated cost of the currently
required actions is $85 per product.
    We estimate that it would take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this proposed AD. The average
labor rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate
the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be $7,480, or $85 per
product.

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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

The Proposed Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing airworthiness directive
(AD) 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 2010), and
adding the following new AD:

Embraer S.A.: Docket No. FAA-2012-0590; Directorate Identifier 2011-
NM-112-AD.

(a) Comments Due Date

    We must receive comments by July 23, 2012.

(b) Affected ADs

    This AD supersedes AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR
30277, June 1, 2010).

(c) Applicability

    (1) This AD applies to Embraer S.A. Model ERJ 190-100 STD, -100
LR, and -100 IGW airplanes; and Model ERJ 190-200 STD, -200 LR, and
-200 IGW airplanes; certificated in any category; all serial
numbers.
    (2) This 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 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 of an alternative method of compliance (AMOC)
according to paragraph (j)(1) of this AD. The request should include
a description of changes to the required actions that will ensure
the continued operational safety of the airplane.

(d) Subject

    Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 52, Doors; 53,
Fuselage; 54, Nacelles/Pylons; 55, Stabilizers; 57, Wings; 71,
Powerplant; and 78, Engine Exhaust.

(e) Reason

    This AD was prompted by reports of cracks in some of the
structural components of the airplane. We are issuing this AD since
failure to inspect these structural components according to the new
ALS tasks, thresholds, and intervals could prevent a timely
detection of fatigue cracking, which if not properly addressed,
could result in reduced structural integrity of the airplane.

(f) Compliance

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

(g) Restated Actions and Compliance

    This paragraph restates the actions required by paragraph (f) of
AD 2010-11-14, Amendment 39 16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 2010).
    (1) Within 90 days after July 6, 2010 (the effective date of AD
2010-11-14, Amendment 39-16319 (75 FR 30277, June 1, 2010)), revise
the Airworthiness Limitation Section (ALS) of the Instructions for
Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to include the tasks specified in
table 1 of this AD. These tasks are identified in EMBRAER Temporary
Revision (TR) 2-5, dated December 6, 2007; and EMBRAER TR 2-6, dated
February 12, 2008; to Appendix A, Part 2, Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, of the EMBRAER 190 Maintenance Review
Board Report (MRBR), MRB-1928.

    Note 1 to paragraph (g)(1) of this AD:  The actions required by
paragraph (g)(1) of this AD may be done by inserting a copy of
EMBRAER TR 2-5 and TR 2-6 into the ALS of the EMBRAER 190 MRBR, MRB-
1928. When these TRs have been included in general revisions of the
EMBRAER 190 MRBR, MRB-1928, the general revisions may be inserted,
provided the relevant information in the general revision is
identical to that in EMBRAER TR 2-5 and TR 2-6, and these TRs may be
removed.

    (2) The initial compliance times for the tasks specified in
EMBRAER TR 2-5, dated December 6, 2007; and EMBRAER TR 2-6, dated
February 12, 2008; to Appendix A, Part 2, Airworthiness Limitation
Inspections (ALI)--Structures, of the EMBRAER 190 MRBR, MRB-1928;
start at the later of the times specified in paragraphs (g)(2)(i)
and (g)(2)(ii) of this AD. For certain tasks, the compliance times
depend on the pre-modification and post-modification condition of
the associated service bulletin, as specified in the
``Applicability'' column of these TRs.
    (i) Within the applicable threshold times specified in the TRs
specified in table 1 of this AD.
    (ii) At the applicable compliance time specified in table 1 of
this AD.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2016-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-1664]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, DHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Comments are requested on proposed flood hazard
determinations, which may include additions or modifications of any
Base Flood Elevation (BFE), base flood depth, Special Flood Hazard Area
(SFHA) boundary or zone designation, or regulatory floodway on the
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), and where applicable, in the
supporting Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports for the communities
listed in the table below. The purpose of this notice is to seek
general information and comment regarding the preliminary FIRM, and
where applicable, the FIS report that the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) has provided to the affected communities. The FIRM and
FIS report are the basis of the floodplain management measures that the
community is required either to adopt or to show evidence of having in
effect in order to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In addition, the FIRM and FIS
report, once effective, will be used by insurance agents and others to
calculate appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings
and the contents of those buildings.

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before April 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location and the respective Community Map Repository address listed in
the tables below. Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS
report for each community are accessible online through the FEMA Map
Service Center at www.msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-1664, to
Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering Services Branch, Federal Insurance
and Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rick Sacbibit, Chief, Engineering
Services Branch, Federal Insurance and

Mitigation Administration, FEMA, 400 C Street SW., Washington, DC
20472,<PHONE_NUMBER>, or (email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or
visit the FEMA Map Information eXchange (FMIX) online at
www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

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

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.

Good Laboratory Practice Regulations for Nonclinical Studies--21 CFR
Part 58

OMB Control Number 0910-0119--Extension

    Sections 409, 505, 512, and 515 of the Federal Food, Drug, and
Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 348, 355, 360b, and 360e) and related statutes
require manufacturers of food additives, human drugs and biological
products, animal drugs, and medical devices to demonstrate the safety
and utility of their product by submitting applications to FDA for
research or marketing permits. Such applications contain, among other
important items, full reports of all studies done to demonstrate
product safety in man and/or other animals. In order to ensure adequate
quality control for these studies and to provide an adequate degree of
consumer protection, the Agency issued GLP regulations for nonclinical
laboratory studies in part 58 (21 CFR part 58). The regulations specify
minimum standards for the proper conduct of safety testing and contain
sections on facilities, personnel, equipment, standard operating
procedures (SOPs), test and control articles, quality assurance,
protocol and conduct of a safety study, records and reports, and
laboratory disqualification.
    Part 58 requires testing facilities engaged in conducting
toxicological studies to retain, and make available to regulatory
officials, records regarding compliance with GLPs. Records are
maintained on file at each testing facility and examined there
periodically by FDA inspectors. The GLP regulations require that, for
each nonclinical laboratory study, a final report be prepared that
documents the results of quality assurance unit inspections, test and
control article characterization, testing of mixtures of test and
control articles with carriers, and an overall interpretation of
nonclinical laboratory studies. The GLP regulations also require
written records pertaining to: (1) Personnel job descriptions and
summaries of training and experience; (2) master schedules, protocols
and amendments thereto, inspection reports, and SOPs; (3) equipment
inspection, maintenance, calibration, and testing records; (4)
documentation of feed and water analyses, and animal treatments; (5)
test article accountability records; and (6) study documentation and
raw data.
    Recordkeeping is necessary to document the conduct of nonclinical
laboratory studies of FDA-regulated products to ensure the quality and
integrity of the resulting final study report on which a regulatory
decision may be based. Written SOPs and records of actions taken are
essential for testing facilities to implement GLP's effectively.
Further, they are essential for FDA to be able to determine a testing
facility's compliance with the GLP regulations in part 58.
    In a notice of proposed rulemaking published in the Federal
Register of August 24, 2016 (81 FR 58342), we proposed changes in our
GLP regulations, including some of those listed in tables 1 and 2 of
this document. The document included revised burden estimates for the
proposed changes and solicited public comment. In response to requests,
the comment period was extended to January 21, 2017 (81 FR 75351,
October 31, 2016). In the interim, FDA is seeking an extension of OMB
approval for the current regulations so that we can continue to collect
information while the proposal is pending.
    Description of Respondents: The likely respondents collecting this
information are contract laboratories, sponsors of FDA-regulated
products, universities, or government agencies.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as
follows:

Stormwater Management in Response to Climate Change Impacts:
Lessons From the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes Regions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public comment period and letter peer review.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a 30-
day public comment period for the draft document titled, ``Stormwater
Management in Response to Climate Change Impacts: Lessons from the
Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes Regions'' (EPA/600/R-15/087). EPA is
also announcing that Versar, Inc., an EPA contractor for external
scientific peer review, will select three independent experts from a
pool of six to conduct a letter peer review of the same draft document.
The document was prepared by the National Center for Environmental
Assessment within EPA's Office of Research and Development. This
document describes insights gained from a series of EPA and National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) sponsored workshops with
communities in the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes regions to address
climate change in stormwater adaptation efforts.
    EPA intends to forward the public comments that are submitted in
accordance with this document to the external peer reviewers for their
consideration during the letter peer review. When finalizing the draft
documents, EPA intends to consider any public comments received in
response to this notice. EPA is releasing this draft document for the
purposes of public comment and peer review. This draft document is not
final as described in EPA's information quality guidelines and does not
represent and should not be construed to represent Agency policy or
views.
    The draft document is available via the Internet on EPA's Risk Web
page under the Recent Additions at http://www.epa.gov/risk.

DATES: The 30-day public comment period begins October 7, 2015, and
ends

November 6, 2015. Technical comments should be in writing and must be
received by EPA by November 6, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The draft document, ``Stormwater Management in Response to
Climate Change Impacts: Lessons from the Chesapeake Bay and Great Lakes
Regions,'' is available primarily via the Internet on the EPA's Risk

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Information About the Project/Document

    Water resources in the United States are affected by a number of
climate stressors, including increasing temperatures, changing
precipitation patterns, and extreme events. These changing conditions
have implications for stormwater management as local decision makers
look to improve existing infrastructure and build new stormwater
systems. EPA and NOAA have conducted a number of workshops and other
community efforts in cities and counties within the Chesapeake Bay and
Great Lakes regions to initiate conversations about how projected land
use and climate change could impact local water conditions and how
adaptation (resiliency) planning can fit into decision-making processes
to help meet existing goals. These conversations provided insights into
the kinds of information that enable and facilitate communities'
incorporation of climate change into local planning and decision making
for stormwater management. The report reviews lessons learned from
these adaptation planning experiences, including locally identified
barriers to addressing climate change, methods to overcome barriers in
the short term, and long term information needs to further assist
communities in their stormwater adaptation efforts.
