Federal Aviation Administration

Noise Exposure Map Notice, Southwest Florida International
Airport, Fort Myers, FL

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announces its
determination that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted by the Lee County
Port Authority for the Southwest Florida International Airport under
the provisions of 49 U.S.C. 47501 et. Seq (Aviation Safety and Noise
Abatement Act) and 14 CFR Part 150 are in compliance with applicable
requirements.

DATES: This notice is effective February 8, 2013, and is applicable
beginning January 30, 2013.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Allan Nagy, Federal Aviation
Administration, Orlando Airports District Office, 5950 Hazeltine
National Drive Citadel International Building, Suite 400, Orlando, FL
32822,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice announces that the FAA finds
that the Noise Exposure Maps submitted for Southwest Florida
International Airport are in compliance with applicable requirements of
Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 150, effective November
15, 2012. Under 49 U.S.C. section 47503 of the Aviation Safety and
Noise Abatement Act (the Act), an airport operator may submit to the
FAA Noise Exposure Maps which meet applicable regulations and which
depict non-compatible land uses as of the date of submission of such
maps, a description of projected aircraft operations, and the ways in
which such operations will affect such maps. The Act requires such maps
to be developed in consultation with interested and affected parties in
the local community, government agencies, and persons using the
airport. An airport operator who has submitted Noise Exposure Maps that
are found by FAA to be in compliance with the requirements of 14 CFR
Part 150, promulgated pursuant to the Act, may submit a Noise
Compatibility Program for FAA approval which sets forth the measures
the airport operator has taken or proposes to take to reduce existing
non-compatible uses and prevent the introduction of additional non-
compatible uses.
    The FAA has completed its review of the Noise Exposure Maps and

accompanying documentation submitted by the Lee County Port Authority.
The documentation that constitutes the ``Noise Exposure Maps'' as
defined in Section 150.7 of 14 CFR Part 150 includes: Table 4.1, RSW
Noise Measurement Locations; Table 7.1, 2011 Annual Operations; Table
7.2, 2011 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix (Itinerant Operations); Table
7.3, 2011 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix (Local Operations); Table 7.4,
2017 Annual Operations; Table 7.5, 2017 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix
(Itinerant Operations); Table 7.6, 2017 Annual-Average Day Fleet Mix
(Local Operations); Table 7.7, 2011 and 2017 Air Carrier Aircraft Stage
Length Percentages; Table 7.8, 2011 Runway Use Percentages; Table 7.9,
2011 and 2017 Departure Flight Track Use Percentages; Table 7.10, 2011
and 2017 Arrival Flight Track Use Percentages; Table 7.11, 2011 and
2017 Local (Touch and Go) Flight Track Use Percentages; Table 8.1, 2012
DNL Contour Surface Areas; Table 8.2, 2017 DNL Contour Surface Areas;
Table 8.3, 14 CFR Part 150 Land Use Compatibility Guidelines; Table
8.4, Lee County Airport Noise Zones; Figure 1.2, Airport Location Map;
Figure 1.3, Existing Land Uses; Figure 2.1, Airport Diagram; Figure 2-
2, U.S. National Airspace System; Figure 2.3, Southwest Florida
International Airspace; Figure 2-7, RSW Published Arrivals and
Departures; Figure 5.1, RSW RNAV Departures Established Since the 2006
14 CFR Part 150 Study; Figure 5-2, RSW RNAV Arrivals Established Since
the 2006 14 CFR Part 150 Study; Figure 5-3, Monthly Operations; Figure
7.1, Modeled Flight Tracks--Northeast Flow; Figure 7.2, Modeled Flight
Tracks--Southwest Flow; Figure 7.3, Modeled Flight Tracks--Touch and
Go; Figure 8.1, 2012 DNL Noise Contours; Figure 8.2, 2017 DNL Noise
Contours; Figure 8.3, Future Land Use; Figure 8.4, Airport Noise Zones;
Appendix C, RSW Published IFR Procedures; Appendix L, Map ``A'' 2012
NEM and Map ``B'', 2017; NEM Chapter 9, Page 9-1, Airport Sponsor's
Noise Exposure Map Certification; November 1, 2012 Airport Sponsor NEM
Submittal Letter.
    The FAA has determined that these Noise Exposure Maps and
accompanying documentation are in compliance with applicable
requirements. This determination is effective on January 30, 2013.
    FAA's determination on the airport operator's Noise Exposure Maps
is limited to a finding that the maps were developed in accordance with
the procedures contained in Appendix A of 14 CFR Part 150. Such
determination does not constitute approval of the airport operator's
data, information or plans, or a commitment to approve a Noise
Compatibility Program or to fund the implementation of that Program. If
questions arise concerning the precise relationship of specific
properties to noise exposure contours depicted on a Noise Exposure Map
submitted under Section 47503 of the Act, it should be noted that the
FAA is not involved in any way in determining the relative locations of
specific properties with regard to the depicted noise exposure
contours, or in interpreting the Noise Exposure Maps to resolve
questions concerning, for example, which properties should be covered
by the provisions of Section 47506 of the Act. These functions are
inseparable from the ultimate land use control and planning
responsibilities of local government. These local responsibilities are
not changed in any way under 14 CFR Part 150 or through FAA's review of
Noise Exposure Maps. Therefore, the responsibility for the detailed
overlaying of noise exposure contours onto the map depicting properties
on the surface rests exclusively with the airport operator that
submitted those maps, or with those public agencies and planning
agencies with which consultation is required under Section 47503 of the
Act. The FAA has relied on the certification by the airport operator,
under Section 150.21 of 14 CFR Part 150, that the statutorily required
consultation has been accomplished.
    Copies of the full Noise Exposure Maps documentation and of the
FAA's evaluation of the maps are available for examination at the
following locations: Federal Aviation Administration, Orlando Airports
District Office, 5950 Hazeltine National Drive, Citadel International
Building, Suite 400, Orlando, FL 32822.
    Questions may be directed to the individual named above under the
heading, FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Issued in Orlando, FL, on January 30, 2013.

Administration.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

Background

    On February 6, 2006 the Agency published a final rule for
protection of human subjects of research (71 FR 24 6138) that called
for creating a new, independent human studies review board (i.e. HSRB).
The HSRB is a Federal advisory committee operating in accordance with
the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 5 U.S.C. App. 2 Sec.  9. The
HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to EPA on issues
related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research.
The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and
recommendations on: (1) Research proposals and protocols; (2) reports
of completed research with human subjects; and (3) how to strengthen

EPA's programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB
reports to the EPA Administrator through EPA's Science Advisor.
    This notice solicits nominations of individuals with expertise in
bioethics, biostatistics, human health risk assessment and/or human
toxicology to fill anticipated vacancies on the Board. General
information concerning the HSRB, including its charter, current
membership, and activities can be found on the EPA Web site at http://
www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/.

Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations

    Any interested person or organization may nominate someone to be
considered as prospective nominees for the HSRB. Additional avenues and
resources may be utilized in the solicitation of nominees to encourage
a broad pool of expertise. Nominees should be experts who have
sufficient professional qualifications, by training and experience, to
provide expert comment on the ethical and scientific issues that may
come before the HSRB. Responsibilities of HSRB members include
reviewing extensive background materials between meetings of the Board,
preparing draft responses to Agency charge questions, attending Board
meetings, participating in the discussion and deliberations at these
meetings, drafting assigned sections of meeting reports, and reviewing
and helping to finalize Board reports.
    EPA seeks nominees who are nationally recognized experts in one or
more of the following areas:
     Bioethics: Expertise in the ethics of research with human
subjects.
     Biostatistics: Expertise in statistical design and
analysis of research with human subjects, especially research with
small sample sizes.
     Human health risk assessment: Expertise in epidemiology,
exposure analysis, public health or human research regulations.
     Human toxicology: Expertise in toxicity of environmental
substances, mechanisms of toxicity and/or clinical studies.
    All nominations should include: (1) A current curriculum vitae
(C.V.) providing the nominee's educational background, qualifications,
leadership positions in national associations or professional
societies, relevant research experience and publications; and (2) a
summary of the above in a one-page biographical sketch.
    The qualifications of nominees for membership on the HSRB will be
assessed in terms of the specific expertise sought for the HSRB.
Qualified nominees who agree to be considered further will be included
in a smaller ``Short List''. The Short List of nominees' names and
biographical sketches will be posted for 14 calendar days for public
comment on the EPA Web site at http://www.epa.gov/osa/index.htm. The
public will be encouraged to provide additional information about the
nominees that EPA should consider. At the completion of this comment
period, EPA will select new Board members from the Short List.
Candidates not selected for HSRB membership at this time may be
considered for HSRB membership as vacancies arise in the future, or for
service as consultants to the HSRB. The Agency estimates that the names
of Short List candidates will be posted in February, 2009. However,
please be advised that this is an approximate time frame and the date
could change. Thus, if you have any questions concerning posting of
Short List candidates on the OSA Web site, please consult the person
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
    Interested candidates who are employees of a federal department or
agency (other than EPA) or are members of another federal advisory
committee are eligible to serve on the HSRB, and their nominations are
welcome. Other factors that will be considered include: Availability to
participate in the Board's scheduled meetings, absence of any conflicts
of interest and absence of an appearance of a lack of impartiality, and
independence with respect to the matters likely to come under HSRB
review. Though financial conflicts of interest or the appearance of a
lack of impartiality, lack of independence, or bias may lead to
nonselection, the absence of such concerns does not ensure that a
candidate will be selected to serve on the HSRB. Numerous qualified
candidates are likely to be identified. Selection decisions will
involve careful weighing of many factors, including, but not limited
to, the candidates' areas of expertise and professional qualifications,
and responses to the Short List in achieving the overall balance of
different perspectives and areas of expertise on the Board.
    Members of the HSRB are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part
2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by the EPA
in 5 CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, each nominee
will be asked to submit confidential financial information which shall
fully disclose, among other financial interests, the candidate's
employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research
support. The information provided is confidential and will not be
disclosed to the public. Before a candidate is considered further for
service on the HSRB, EPA will evaluate each candidate to assess whether
there is any conflict of financial interest, appearance of a lack of
impartiality, or prior involvement with matters likely to be reviewed
by the Board.
    Nominations should be submitted by one of the methods listed under
ADDRESSEES. The Agency will consider all nominations received on or
before November 10, 2008. Final selection of members is a discretionary
function of the Agency and will be announced on the EPA Web site at
http://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb as soon as they are made.

Cross-Media Electronic Reporting: Authorized Program Revision
Approval, State of North Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA's approval of the State of North
Carolina's request to revise its National Primary Drinking Water
Regulations Implementation EPA-authorized program to allow electronic
reporting.

DATES: EPA's approval is effective August 7, 2017 for the State of
North Carolina's National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation program, if no timely request for a public hearing is
received and accepted by the Agency.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karen Seeh, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Office of Environmental Information, Mail Stop
2823T, 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 566-
1175<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal
Register

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR
establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving,
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3,
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the option
of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On June 13, 2017, the North Carolina Department of Environmental
Quality (NC DEQ) submitted an application titled ``Compliance
Monitoring Data Portal for revision to its EPA-approved drinking water
program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA
reviewed NC DEQ's request to revise its EPA-authorized program and,
based on this review, EPA determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized program revision set out in 40 CFR
part 3, subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of
EPA's decision to approve North Carolina's request to revise its Part
142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation program
to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR part 141 is being published
in the Federal Register.
    NC DEQ was notified of EPA's determination to approve its
application with respect to the authorized program listed above.
    Also, in today's notice, EPA is informing interested persons that
they may request a public hearing on EPA's action to approve the State
of North Carolina's request to revise its authorized public water
system program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR
3.1000(f). Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30
days of publication of today's Federal Register notice. Such requests
should include the following information:
    (1) The name, address and telephone number of the individual,
organization or other entity requesting a hearing;
    (2) A brief statement of the requesting person's interest in EPA's
determination, a brief explanation as to why EPA should hold a hearing,
and any other information that the requesting person wants EPA to
consider when determining whether to grant the request;
    (3) The signature of the individual making the request, or, if the
request is made on behalf of an organization or other entity, the
signature of a responsible official of the organization or other
entity.
    In the event a hearing is requested and granted, EPA will provide
notice of the hearing in the Federal Register not less than 15 days
prior to the scheduled hearing date. Frivolous or insubstantial
requests for hearing may be denied by EPA. Following such a public
hearing, EPA will review the record of the hearing and issue an order
either affirming today's determination or rescinding such
determination. If no timely request for a hearing is received and
granted, EPA's approval of the State of North Carolina's request to
revise its part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations
Implementation program to allow electronic reporting will become
effective 30 days after today's notice is published, pursuant to
CROMERR section 3.1000(f)(4).

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2017-1117; Product Identifier 94-ANE-39-AD; Amendment
39-19112; AD 2017-24-08]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Rolls-Royce plc Turbofan Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding airworthiness directive (AD) 2014-24-08 for
all Rolls-Royce plc (RR) RB211-535E4-37, RB211-535E4-B-37, and RB211-
535E4-C-37 turbofan engines with certain low-pressure (LP) fuel filter-
to-high-pressure (HP) fuel pump tube assemblies, or HP fuel pump-to-
fuel flow governor (FFG) or FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill return tube
assemblies and flanged adaptor, installed. AD 2014-24-08 required
replacing certain LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube assemblies. This
AD retains the requirement in AD 2014-24-08 to remove the LP fuel
filter-to-HP fuel pump tube, adds new compliance thresholds, and
requires installation of new HP fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump
inlet overspill return tube assemblies and flanged adaptor. This AD was
prompted by fuel leaks that have occurred at the flanged joints of the
HP fuel pump-to-FFG tube assembly and FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill
return tube assembly. We are issuing this AD to correct the unsafe
condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective January 16, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2014-24-08, Amendment 39-18041 (79 FR 71308,
December 2, 2014), ``AD 2014-24-08,'' for all RB211-535E4-37, RB211-
535E4-B-37, and RB211-535E4-C-37 turbofan engines. AD 2014-24-08
applied to the specified products. The NPRM published in the Federal
Register on May 26, 2017 (82 FR 24262). The NPRM proposed to continue
to require replacing certain LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube
assemblies. That NPRM also proposed to require installation of new HP
fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill return tube
assemblies and flanged adaptor.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this AD. We considered the comments received.

Request To Change Installation Prohibition

    American Airlines (AAL) and FedEx Express stated the proposed AD
would prohibit reinstallation of earlier HP fuel pump to FFG and FFG to
HP pump inlet overspill return tube assemblies. AAL and FedEx Express
request clarification that the HP fuel tube does not require
replacement if removed simply to gain access to other components.
    FedEx is concerned that the current wording would result in
serviceable tube assemblies having to be replaced in a line environment
when components such as the FFG or fuel pump are replaced as part of
fuel system troubleshooting. AAL didn't justify their request.
    We agree. This AD requires replacement of the affected parts before
they exceed 4,750 engine flight cycles (FC) or 15,000 flight hours
(FH), or at a shop visit, whichever occurs first. To address this
comment, we deleted the Installations Prohibition paragraph and
integrated the previous restrictions into paragraph (h), Definitions,
adding the statement that ``The reinstallation of affected parts,
removed to facilitate on-wing/in-service maintenance of adjacent
components, is acceptable within the limits prescribed by paragraphs
(g)(1) and (2) of this AD.''

Request To Change Applicability

    AAL and UPS requested clarification of shop visit. They would like
to clarify the shop visit definition as, ``For the purpose of this AD,
a shop visit is defined as the separation of major mating module
flanges to perform maintenance or overhaul, excluding the removal or
replacement of the high speed gearbox, or for the sole purpose of
transporting the engine without performing subsequent maintenance or
overhaul.'' They gave no justification for the requested change.

    We disagree. The shop visit definition is intended to require the
replacement of parts when the engine is in a shop for maintenance or
overhaul with no exceptions, consistent with the associated service
bulletin. We did not change this AD.

Request To Add Credit for Previous Actions

    UPS stated the proposed AD requires incorporation of Service
Bulletins (SBs) RB.211-73-H131, Revision 1 and RB.211-73-G230, Revision
3. UPS requests this AD give credit for previous incorporation of any
prior revision of these two service bulletins.
    We agree. Corrective action done prior to the effective date of
this AD using earlier revisions of the cited service bulletins is
acceptable. We added a new section Credit for Previous Actions after
paragraph (h) of this AD.

Request To Change Required Actions

    UPS requested that the pre-SB RB.211-73-H131 part numbers be listed
in paragraph (g)(1) of this AD, to clarify only pre-SB RB.73-H131
engines are affected.
    We agree. We revised paragraph (g)(1) of this AD.

Request To Change Compliance Time

    UPS stated the proposed AD section (g)(1) requires incorporation of
SB RB.211-73-H131 before the LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube
exceeds 4,750 FC or 15,000 FH. These time and cycle limits appear to
have originated with SB RB.211-73-E355, which UPS has previously
interpreted as ``soft limits'' rather than ``hard limits'' due to the
verbiage used in the SB. UPS requests the final rule include a drawdown
period of 400 cycles/800 hours to allow time for operators to
incorporate these modifications on those engines which already exceed
the stated thresholds. UPS justified the request to prevent operational
disruptions. RR has reviewed the original technical justification for
introducing the life limits and modifications. Given the lives of the
UPS fleet, a 400 flight cycle extension does not have an appreciable
effect on engine safety. The dual engine in-flight shut down rate
remains below the continued airworthiness threshold.
    We agree. A RR review supports the requested drawdown plan. We
revised paragraph (g)(1) of this AD.

Request To Define Engine Hours/Cycles Since New

    UPS requests that the compliance thresholds be listed as (engine or
part) hours/cycles since new or since last accomplishment of SB RB.211-
73-E355, whichever is sooner. They state that SB RB.211-73-E355
installs a new LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube.
    We partially agree. We agree that time since accomplishing SB
RB.211-73-E355 is equivalent to time since new for the replaced part.
We disagree that the compliance thresholds need to be changed as this
AD already specifies compliance before ``the part exceeds 4,750 engine
flight cycles (FC) or 15,000 flight hours (FH), since new''. We did not
change this AD.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this AD with the changes described previously. We determined that these
changes will not increase the economic burden on any operator or
increase the scope of this AD.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Rolls-Royce plc has issued SB RB.211-73-G230, Revision 3, dated
April 8, 2016. The SB describes a modification (mod 73-G230) and
introduces new HP fuel pump-to-FFG and FFG-to-HP pump inlet overspill
return tube assemblies with a larger O-ring groove on the end adaptor
sealing face. RR has also issued SB RB.211-73-H131, Revision 1, dated
September 2, 2014. The SB introduces a new LP fuel filter-to-HP fuel
pump tube assembly. This service information is reasonably available
because the interested parties have access to it through their normal
course of business or by the means identified in the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 100 engines installed on airplanes
of U.S. registry.
    We estimate the following costs to comply with this 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.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to engines, propellers, and
associated appliances to the Manager, Engine and Propeller Standards
Branch, Policy and Innovation Division.

Regulatory Findings

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

    (3) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.

N/A--Not applicable.
\1\ Monitoring path for open path analyzers is applicable only to middle or neighborhood scale CO monitoring, middle, neighborhood, urban, and regional
  scale NO2 monitoring, and all applicable scales for monitoring SO2,O3, and O3 precursors.
\2\ When probe is located on a rooftop, this separation distance is in reference to walls, parapets, or penthouses located on roof.
\3\ Should be greater than 20 meters from the dripline of tree(s) and must be 10 meters from the dripline when the tree(s) act as an obstruction.
\4\ Distance from sampler, probe, or 90 percent of monitoring path to obstacle, such as a building, must be at least twice the height the obstacle
  protrudes above the sampler, probe, or monitoring path. Sites not meeting this criterion may be classified as middle scale (see text).
\5\ Must have unrestricted airflow 270 degrees around the probe or sampler; 180 degrees if the probe is on the side of a building or a wall.
\6\ The probe, sampler, or monitoring path should be away from minor sources, such as furnace or incineration flues. The separation distance is
  dependent on the height of the minor source's emission point (such as a flue), the type of fuel or waste burned, and the quality of the fuel (sulfur,
  ash, or lead content). This criterion is designed to avoid undue influences from minor sources.
\7\ For micro-scale CO monitoring sites, the probe must be >10 meters from a street intersection and preferably at a midblock location.

\8\ Collocated monitors must be within 4 meters of each other and at least 2 meters apart for flow rates greater than 200 liters/min or at least 1 meter
  apart for samplers having flow rates less than 200 liters/min to preclude airflow interference, unless a waiver is in place as approved by the
  Regional Administrator.

    26. Appendix G to Part 58 is amended:
    a. By revising sections 9 and 10.
    b. By revising paragraph 12.i.a and table 2 in 12.i.d.
    c. By revising section 13.
    The revisions read as follows:

Appendix G to Part 58--Uniform Air Quality Index (AQI) and Daily
Reporting

* * * * *

9. How does the AQI relate to air pollution levels?

    For each pollutant, the AQI transforms ambient concentrations to
a scale from 0 to 500. The AQI is keyed as appropriate to the
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for each pollutant.
In most cases, the index value of 100 is associated with the
numerical level of the short-term standard (i.e., averaging time of
24 hours or less) for each pollutant. The index value of 50 is
associated with the numerical level of the annual standard for a
pollutant, if there is one, at one-half the level of the short-term
standard for the pollutant, or at the level at which it is
appropriate to begin to provide guidance on cautionary language.
Higher categories of the index are based on increasingly serious
health effects and increasing proportions of the population that are
likely to be affected. The index is related to other air pollution
concentrations through linear interpolation based on these levels.
The AQI is equal to the highest of the numbers corresponding to each
pollutant. For the purposes of reporting the AQI, the sub-indexes
for PM10 and PM2.5 are to be considered
separately. The pollutant responsible for the highest index value
(the reported AQI) is called the ``critical'' pollutant.

10. What monitors should I use to get the pollutant concentrations for
calculating the AQI?

    You must use concentration data from State/Local Air Monitoring
Station (SLAMS) or parts of the SLAMS required by 40 CFR 58.10 for
each pollutant except PM. For PM, calculate and report the AQI on
days for which you have measured air quality data (e.g., from
continuous PM2.5 monitors required in Appendix D to this
part). You may use PM measurements from monitors that are not
reference or equivalent methods (for example, continuous
PM10 or PM2.5 monitors). Detailed guidance for
relating non-approved measurements to approved methods by
statistical linear regression is referenced in section 13 of this
appendix.
* * * * *
    12. * * *
    i. * * *
    a. Identify the highest concentration among all of the monitors
within each reporting area and truncate as follows:

(1) Ozone--truncate to 3 decimal places
PM2.5--truncate to 1 decimal place
PM10--truncate to integer
CO--truncate to 1 decimal place
SO2--truncate to integer
NO2--truncate to integer

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Areas are generally required to report the AQI based on 8-hour ozone values. However, there are a small number of areas where an AQI based on 1-hour
  ozone values would be more precautionary. In these cases, in addition to calculating the 8-hour ozone index value, the 1-hour ozone index value may be
  calculated, and the maximum of the two values reported.
\2\ 8-hour O3 values do not define higher AQI values (>= 301). AQI values of 301 or greater are calculated with 1-hour O3 concentrations.

13. What additional information should I know?

    The EPA has developed a computer program to calculate the AQI
for you. The program prompts for inputs, and it displays all the
pertinent information for the AQI (the index value, color, category,
sensitive group, health effects, and cautionary language). The EPA
has also prepared a brochure on the AQI that explains the index in
detail (The Air Quality Index), Reporting Guidance (Technical
Assistance Document for the Reporting of Daily Air Quality-the Air
Quality Index (AQI)) that provides associated health effects and
cautionary statements, and Forecasting Guidance (Guideline for
Developing an Ozone Forecasting Program) that explains the steps
necessary to start an air pollution forecasting program. You can
download the program and the guidance documents at www.airnow.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA may grant an exemption
for a 2-year period if it finds ``such exemption would likely achieve a
level of safety that is equivalent to, or greater than, the level that
would be achieved absent such exemption.'' The statute also allows the
Agency to renew exemptions at the end of the 2-year period. The 27
individuals listed in this notice have recently requested an exemption
from the diabetes prohibition in 49 CFR 391.41(b) (3), which applies to
drivers of CMV in interstate commerce. Accordingly, the Agency will
evaluate the qualifications of each applicant to determine whether
granting the exemption will achieve the required level of safety
mandated by the statutes.

Request for Comments

    In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315, FMCSA requests
public comment from all interested persons on the exemption petitions
described in this notice. We will consider all comments received before
the close of business on the closing DATES indicated in the DATES
section of the Notice.
    FMCSA notes that Section 4129 of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible
and Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-
LU) requires the Secretary to revise its diabetes exemption program
established on September 3, 2003 (68 FR 52441).\1\ The revision must
provide for individual assessment of drivers with diabetes mellitus,
and be consistent with the criteria described in section 4018 of the
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (49 U.S.C. 31305).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Section 4129(a) refers to the 2003 Notice as a ``final
rule.'' However, the 2003 Notice did not issue a ``final rule'' but
did establish the procedures and standards for issuing exemptions
for drivers with ITDM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 4129 requires: (1) The elimination of the requirement for
three years of experience operating CMVs while being treated with
insulin; and (2) the establishment of a specified minimum period of
insulin use to demonstrate stable control of diabetes before being
allowed to operate a CMV.
    In response to section 4129, FMCSA made immediate revisions to the
diabetes exemption program established by the September 3, 2003 Notice.
FMCSA discontinued use of the 3-year driving experience and fulfilled
the requirements of section 4129 while continuing to ensure that
operation of CMVs by drivers with ITDM will achieve the requisite level
of safety required of all exemptions granted under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e).
    Section 4129(d) also directed FMCSA to ensure that drivers of CMVs
with ITDM are not held to a higher standard than other drivers, with
the exception of limited operating, monitoring and medical requirements
that are deemed medically necessary. FMCSA concluded that all of the
operating, monitoring and medical requirements set out in the September
3, 2003 Notice, except as modified, were in compliance with section
4129(d). Therefore, all of the requirements set out in the September 3,
2003 Notice, except as modified by the Notice in the Federal Register
on November 8, 2005 (70 FR 67777), remain in effect.

    Issued on: March 19, 2010.
