SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-60704; File No. SR-DTC-2009-15]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The Depository Trust Company;
Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change
Related to the Payment Order System for Premium Payment Orders

September 22, 2009.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ notice is hereby given that on August 28, 2009, The
Depository Trust Company (``DTC'') filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change described
in Items I, II, and III below, which items have been prepared primarily
by DTC. DTC filed the proposal pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of
the Act \2\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(4) \3\ thereunder so that the proposal
was effective upon filing with the Commission. The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the rule change from
interested parties.

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

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The proposed rule change establishes technical changes which are
non-substantive in nature and are to support the industry wide Options
Symbology Initiative.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, DTC included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. DTC has prepared summaries, set forth in sections (A),
(B), and (C) below, of the most significant aspects of these
statements.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission has modified the text of the summaries
prepared by DTC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    Today, many organizations that support trading in listed options
are restricted in their ability to identify and process exchange listed
option contracts. These organizations typically use a three to five
alpha character representation. The first one to three characters
identify the option root symbol and the remaining two alpha characters
identify the expiration month, call/put indicator, and strike price.
    In an effort to standardize option symbols and overhaul the
existing method of identifying exchange-listed options contracts, The
Options Clearing Corporation (``OCC'') is spearheading the industry-
wide adoption of the Options Symbology Initiative (``OSI''). The OSI
supports the elimination of alpha codes that are currently used to
denote expiration month, call/put code, and strike price.\5\ As a
result of the OSI, DTC has to modify its record layouts for its Payment
Order system \6\ in order to comply with the symbology defined by the
OSI. This includes the expansion of field sizes and the addition of new
fields. These changes will increase efficiency and improve the
mechanism for Participants to perform under the OSI initiative. The
proposed modifications in reference to Participant input and output
formats will include the expansion of field sizes for OCC related
fields that currently exist in the ``comments field'' and the addition
of new fields to DTC's PBS screens MQ/NDM/CF2 record layouts and ISO
message formats.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ For more information about The Options Clearing
Corporation's Options Symbology Initiative see the most recent plan
at http://www.theocc.com/initiatives/symbology/implementation_
plan.jsp.
    \6\ DTC's Payment Order service provides participants with a
method for settling amounts of money related to securities
transactions that are effected separately through DTC earlier on the
same day or on a previous day. Payment orders can be used to collect
option contract premiums and mark-to-market open contracts such as
stock loans.
    \7\ For more information regarding the record layout changes,
see DTC Important Notice B5422 which is attached to Filing
No. SR-DTC-2009-15 as Exhibit 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    OCC has requested that DTC implement these changes on October 30,
2009, so that OCC members can begin to migrate to the new formats. OCC
has mandated that OCC members be ready to use the new formats by
February 12, 2010.
    The proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of
Section 17A of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. It
will promote the prompt and accurate clearance and settlement of
securities transactions because the modification in record layouts to
conform to the new symbology series key as defined by the OSI will
increase efficiency and improve the mechanism for DTC Participants to
perform under the OSI initiative.

(B) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    DTC does not believe that the proposed rule change will have any
impact or impose any burden on competition as it merely makes changes
to the record layouts for DTC's Payment Order System.

(C) Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the
Proposed Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments relating to the proposed rule change have not yet
been solicited or received. DTC will notify the Commission of any
written comments received by DTC.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing proposed rule change has become effective upon filing
pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \8\ and Rule 19b-
4(f)(4) \9\ thereunder because the proposed rule change effects a
change in an existing service of a registered clearing agency that: (i)
Does not adversely affect the safeguarding of securities or funds in
the custody or control of the clearing agency or for which it is
responsible and (ii) does not significantly affect the respective
rights or obligations of the clearing agency or persons using the
service. At any time within sixty days of the filing of the proposed
rule change, the Commission may summarily abrogate such rule change if
it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

being placed on a mailing list for future NPRMs should contact the
FAA's Office of Rulemaking,<PHONE_NUMBER>, to request a copy of
Advisory Circular No. 11-2A, Notice of Proposed Rulemaking Distribution
System, which describes the application procedure.

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations
(14 CFR) part 71 by establishing Class E5 airspace at the Tatitlek
Airport in Tatitlek, AK, to accommodate the creation of the RNAV (GPS)
Runway 31 standard instrument approach procedure at the Tatitlek
Airport. This Class E airspace would provide adequate controlled
airspace upward from 700 feet and 1,200 feet above the surface, for the
safety and management of IFR operations at the Tatitlek Airport.
    Class E airspace designated as 700 and 1200 foot transition areas
are published in paragraph 6005 in FAA Order 7400.9U, Airspace
Designations and Reporting Points, signed August 18, 2010, and
effective September 15, 2010, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The airspaces listed in this document would be subsequently
published in that Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
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. Because this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this rule, when promulgated, will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle 1, 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 1, Section 40103, Sovereignty and use of
airspace. Under that section, the FAA is charged with prescribing
regulations to ensure the safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority because
it proposes to revise Class E airspace at the Tatitlek Airport,
Tatitlek, AK, and represents the FAA's continuing effort to safely and
efficiently use the navigable airspace.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 71

    Airspace, Incorporation by reference, Navigation (air).

The Proposed Amendment

    In consideration of the foregoing, the Federal Aviation
Administration proposes to amend 14 CFR part 71 as follows:

PART 71--DESIGNATION OF CLASS A, B, C, D, AND E AIRSPACE AREAS; AIR
TRAFFIC SERVICE ROUTES; AND REPORTING POINTS

    1. The authority citation for 14 CFR part 71 continues to read as
follows:

FR 9565, 3 CFR, 1959-1963 Comp., p. 389.

Sec.  71.1  [Amended]

    2. The incorporation by reference in 14 CFR 71.1 of Federal
Aviation Administration Order 7400.9U, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, signed August 18, 2010, and effective September 15,
2010, is to be amended as follows:

within a 6.4-mile radius of the Tatitlek Airport, AK and within 2
miles southwest and 3.4 miles northeast of the 149 radial from the
Tatitlek Airport, AK extending from the 6.4--mile radius to 11.8
miles southeast of the Tatitlek Airport, AK, and that airspace
extending upward from 1,200 feet above the surface within a 60-mile

Federal Emergency Management Agency

[Docket ID FEMA-2023-0002; Internal Agency Docket No. FEMA-B-2327]

Proposed Flood Hazard Determinations

AGENCY: Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Homeland
Security.

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).

DATES: Comments are to be submitted on or before July 11, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The Preliminary FIRM, and where applicable, the FIS report
for each community are available for inspection at both the online
location https://hazards.fema.gov/femaportal/prelimdownload and the
respective Community Map Repository address listed in the tables below.
Additionally, the current effective FIRM and FIS report for each
community are accessible online through the FEMA Map Service Center at
https://msc.fema.gov for comparison.
    You may submit comments, identified by Docket No. FEMA-B-2327, 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 protected].

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 protected]; or visit the FEMA Mapping and Insurance
eXchange (FMIX) online at https://www.floodmaps.fema.gov/fhm/fmx_main.html.

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

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-90611; File No. SR-MSRB-2020-08]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Municipal Securities Rulemaking
Board; Order Granting Approval of a Proposed Rule Change To Amend MSRB
Form G-32

December 9, 2020.

I. Introduction

    On October 13, 2020, the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the
``MSRB'' or ``Board'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the ``SEC'' or ``Commission''), pursuant to Section
19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule
19b-4 thereunder,\2\ a proposed rule change to amend MSRB Form G-32 to
clarify that brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers
(collectively, ``dealers'' and, individually, each a ``dealer'') acting
as underwriters in the primary offering of municipal securities are
obligated to manually complete three data fields (collectively, the
``Amended Data

Fields'') on Amended Form G-32 when such fields are applicable to a
primary offering (the ``proposed rule change'').\3\ The proposed rule
change was published for comment in the Federal Register on October 28,
2020.\4\ In the Notice of Filing, the MSRB requested that the proposed
rule change become effective on March 31, 2021.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.

the information required by Rule G-32 are made to the MSRB.

2020) (the ``Notice of Filing''), 85 FR 68395 (October 28, 2020).
    \5\ See Notice of Filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission did not receive any comment letters on the proposed
rule change.

II. Description of Proposed Rule Change

    In the Notice of Filing, the MSRB stated that the purpose of the
proposed rule change is to clarify a prior rule filing submitted to the
SEC on April 10, 2019 and that was subsequently approved by the SEC, as
amended, on June 27, 2019 (the ``Primary Offering Practices
Amendments'') that added new data fields to Form G-32.\6\ The proposed
rule change seeks to clarify that the description within the Primary
Offering Practices Amendments that describes the Amended Data Fields
for three specific data fields as generally being ``auto-populated'' is
incorrect and that these three data fields must be manually completed.
The proposed rule change also describes the precise method by which
underwriters must complete these new data fields.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Securities Exchange Act Release No. 34-86219 (June 27,
2019), 84 FR 31961 (July 3, 2019) (File No. SR-MSRB-2019-07). (The
Primary Offering Practices Amendments authorized updates to Form G-
32 that will add the BQ Data Field, the PAC Bond Data Field, the Put
Date Field, as well as the sixty-three other new data fields, upon
their effective date of March 31, 2021.)
    \7\ See Notice of Filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. MSRB Form G-32 Data Fields Impacted by Proposed Rule

    The MSRB stated that the proposed rule change is meant to clarify
that brokers, dealers, and municipal securities dealers acting as
underwriters in the primary offering of municipal securities are
obligated to manually complete three data fields on Amended Form G-32
when such fields are applicable to a primary offering.\8\ Further, the
MSRB stated that the proposed rule change would clarify the method of
completing Amended Form G-32 for the following three data fields:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Bank Qualified Flag (``BQ Data Field''): The proposed rule
change would clarify the ``yes/no'' flag on amended Form G-32 would,
when applicable, need to be manually completed by an underwriter to
indicate whether a bank can deduct a portion of the interest cost of
the carry for the municipal securities, in accordance with applicable
provisions of the code of the Internal Revenue Service.
     Planned Amortization Class Bond Flag (``PAC Bond Data
Field''): The proposed rule change would clarify that the ``yes/no''
flag on amended Form G-32 would, when applicable, need to be manually
completed to indicate whether the offering is an asset-backed bond
payable with a fixed sinking fund schedule.
     Put End Date Entry (``Put Date Field''): The proposed rule
change would clarify that data fields on Form G-32 relating to whether
the offering is puttable would, when applicable, need to be manually
completed to indicate when a put end date is defined at the time of
issuance.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The MSRB stated its belief that the proposed rule change is
necessary to more clearly define the compliance obligation of an
underwriter when completing one of the Amended Manual Fields on Amended
Form G-32, and, thereby, would promote greater regulatory transparency
in the municipal securities market.\10\ The MSRB noted that the
proposed rule change is intended to put market participants on notice
that, when applicable, the Amended Manual Fields will not auto-populate
on Amended Form G-32 with information input into the New Issue
Information Dissemination Service (``NIIDS''), and thus must be
manually completed.\11\

B. Overview of MSRB Form G-32 Submission Process

    The MSRB stated that pursuant to MSRB Rule G-32, an ``underwriter''
in a primary offering of municipal securities is required to
electronically submit to the MSRB certain primary offering disclosure
documents and related information, including the data elements set
forth on Form G-32.\12\ This submission is completed through the MSRB's
Electronic Municipal Market Access Dataport system (``EMMA
Dataport'').\13\ The MSRB noted that an underwriter's submission of
Form G-32 in EMMA Dataport is commonly, but not always, preceded by the
underwriter's (1) procurement of CUSIP numbers from CUSIP Global
Services, (2) registration of the municipal securities for depository
eligibility with the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation
(``DTCC''), and (3) submission of certain information about the
characteristics of the offering to NIIDS, all generally pursuant to
MSRB Rule G-34.\14\ As described in the Primary Offering Practices
Amendments and prior amendments approved in 2012, Form G-32
incorporates matching data fields relating to certain information
submitted to NIIDS and CUSIP Global Services and, thereby, facilitates
the MSRB's collection of market information utilized in various
rulemaking and transparency activities.\15\

    The MSRB discussed in the Notice of Filing how the Primary Offering
Practices Amendments described each of the New Data Fields added to
Form G-32 as falling into one of two categories: (1) Data fields that
generally would be auto-populated with information previously entered
by an underwriter in NIIDS (collectively, the ``Auto-Populated
Fields'') and (2) data fields that would be unique to Amended Form G-32
and, when applicable, would need to be completed via manual data entry
because they could not be auto-populated with matching NIIDS
information (collectively, the ``Manual Fields'').\16\ The Primary
Offering Practices Amendments identified fifty-seven Auto-Populated
Fields and nine Manual Fields.\17\ The three Amended Manual Fields that
are the subject of this proposed rule change were originally
categorized as part of the fifty-seven Auto-Populated Fields, because
the MSRB understood, at that time, that there was a corresponding data
field match in NIIDS that would allow for the PAC Bond Data Field, the
BQ Data Field, and the Put Date Field, respectively, to be auto-
populated in EMMA Dataport, when applicable.\18\ The MSRB stated that
it now understands that, although DTCC's NIIDS system may allow for an
underwriter to input information corresponding to the Amended Manual
Fields, presently, this information is not disseminated by DTCC to the
MSRB's EMMA Dataport.\19\ Consequently, under the current design of
DTCC's system, the MSRB does not receive the electronic inputs
necessary to auto-populate these three fields on Amended Form G-32.
Thus, the MSRB determined it was

appropriate and necessary to provide guidance to filers clarifying the
need to manually input information relating to the Amended Data Fields,
when applicable, on Amended Form G-32.\20\

III. Discussion and Commission Findings

    The Commission has carefully considered the proposed rule change.
The Commission finds that the proposed rule change is consistent with
the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations thereunder
applicable to the MSRB.
    In particular, the proposed rule change is consistent with Section
15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act.\21\ Section 15B(b)(2)(C) of the Act states
that the MSRB's rules shall be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, to foster cooperation and coordination with
persons engaged in regulating, clearing, settling, processing
information with respect to, and facilitating transactions in municipal
securities and municipal financial products, to remove impediments to
and perfect the mechanism of a free and open market in municipal
securities and municipal financial products, and, in general, to
protect investors, municipal entities, obligated persons, and the
public interest.\22\ The Commission believes the proposed rule change
is consistent with Section 15B(b)(2)(C) and necessary and appropriate
to ensure the MSRB receives accurate and complete primary offering
information in a timely manner. Further, the Commission notes that the
clarification that underwriters are obligated to manually complete the
three Amended Manual Fields on Amended Form G-32 applies to all
applicable filers and ensures the accurate and timely completion of
Amended Form G-32.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-4(b)(2)(C).
    \22\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes the proposed rule change would promote just
and equitable principles of trade by resolving potential regulatory
ambiguities and making clear that, when the filing of Amended Form G-32
is required in connection with a primary offering, an underwriter is
effectively required to ensure that all applicable fields are complete
and accurate, which may require manually completing these three fields
on Amended Form G-32. The clarifications made by the proposed rule
change would assist any dealer who acts, or may act, as an underwriter
of a primary offering of municipal securities in completing Form G-32
accurately.
    The Commission also believes the proposed rule change would foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in regulating and
processing information with respect to transactions in municipal
securities and municipal financial products. The Commission believes
that the benefits of the proposed rule change will not only accrue to
dealer firms, but also to regulated-entity examiners, other regulators,
and data vendors by mitigating potential ambiguity and confusion. Just
as it would be beneficial to dealer firms to have a uniform clarified
understanding of the regulatory obligations associated with Amended
Form G-32, the proposed rule change would similarly benefit these other
market participants by ensuring that the data submitted on Amended Form
G-32 is complete and accurate regardless of whether the dealer directly
interfaces with NIIDS or utilizes the interface of a third-party
vendor.
    In approving the proposed rule change, the Commission also has
considered the impact of the proposed rule change on efficiency,
competition, and capital formation.\23\ The Commission does not believe
that the proposed rule change will impose any burden on competition not
necessary or appropriate in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The
Commission understands the clarification will apply equally to all
applicable underwriters without imposing an additional burden within
the filing process. Moreover, since the proposed rule change is
intended to increase regulatory transparency regarding the obligation
of underwriters to manually complete the Amended Manual Fields, the
Commission believes the proposed change should increase the efficiency
of underwriters fulfilling their obligations under Rule G-32, as
underwriters would be on notice of the lack of auto-population for
these three fields on Amended Form G-32 and, thereby, may avoid certain
costs associated with resolving a potentially ambiguous regulatory
obligation. The Commission believes the proposed rule change will help
market participants avoid the potential for regulatory
misinterpretation and confusion, which promotes a fairer and more
efficient municipal securities market.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \23\ 15 U.S.C. 78c(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    For the reasons noted above, the Commission believes that the
proposed rule change is consistent with the Act.

IV. Conclusion

    It is therefore ordered, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of the
Act,\24\ that the proposed rule change (SR-MSRB-2020-08) be, and hereby
is, approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).

    For the Commission, pursuant to delegated authority.\25\

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[EPA-R08-OAR-2017-0552; FRL-9975-39--Region 8]

Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated
Facilities and Pollutants; Colorado; Control of Emissions From Existing
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a new
state plan (the ``plan'') submitted by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for the regulation of existing
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units within
the jurisdiction of the State of Colorado. The plan has been submitted
to the EPA for approval following the promulgation of federal new
source performance standards (NSPS) and emission guidelines (EG) for
CISWI units on March 21, 2011, and the subsequent, limited revisions to
that final rule on February 7, 2013, and June 23, 2016. This plan
approval final rulemaking action is being taken in accordance with
sections 111(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA, or the ``Act'').

DATES: This final rule is effective on April 26, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background Information

    Sections 111 and 129 of the CAA outline the EPA's statutory
authority for regulating new and existing solid waste incineration
units. Section 111(b) directs the EPA Administrator (the
``Administrator'') to publish and periodically revise a list of source
categories which significantly cause or contribute to air pollution.
This subsection also directs the Administrator to establish federal
standards of performance for new sources within these categories.
Section 111(d) grants the EPA statutory authority to require states to
submit to the agency implementation plans for establishing performance
standards applicable to existing sources belonging to those categories
established in section 111(b). Section 129 specifically addresses solid
waste combustion and requires that the EPA regulate new and existing
waste incineration units pursuant to section 111 of the Act, including
the requirement that a state in which existing designated facilities
operate, submit for approval, a state plan for each category of
regulated waste incineration units. Section 129(b)(3) requires the EPA
to promulgate a federal plan for existing waste incineration units of
any designated category located in any state which has not submitted an
approvable 111(d)/129 state plan for said category of waste
incineration units. Such federal plans remain in effect until the state
in question submits a new or revised state plan and subsequently
receives approval and promulgation of the plan under 40 CFR part 62.
    State plan submittals under CAA sections 111(d) and 129 must be
consistent with the relevant new or revised EG. Section 129(a)(1)(D) of
the Act requires the EPA to develop and periodically revise operating
standards for new and existing CISWI units. The NSPS and EG for CISWI
units were promulgated on December 1, 2000, at 40 CFR part 60, subparts
CCCC and DDDD, respectively. Revisions to the CISWI NSPS and EG were
subsequently promulgated by the EPA on March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15704),
with final actions on reconsideration of the rule published on February
7, 2013 (78 FR 9112), and June 23, 2016 (81 FR 40956). State plan
requirements specific to CISWI units, along with a model rule to ease
adoption of the EG, are found in subpart DDDD, while more general state
plan requirements are found in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B, and part 62,
subpart A. The guidelines found in subpart DDDD require that states
impose emission limits on designated facilities for those pollutants
regulated under section 129, including: Dioxins/furans, carbon
monoxide, metals (cadmium, lead and mercury), hydrogen chloride, sulfur
dioxide, oxides of nitrogen, opacity and particulate matter. The EG
also requires that state plans include essential elements pursuant to
section 129 requirements, including monitoring, operator training and
facility permitting requirements.
    On July 14, 2017, the CDPHE submitted to the EPA a new section
111(d)/129 state plan for existing CISWI units in the State of
Colorado. The current ``state plan'' is a negative declaration letter
certifying the absence of any known designated facilities regulated
under the CISWI rule. The current negative declaration was approved and
promulgated by the EPA on September 17, 2003 (68 FR 54373), at 40 CFR
part 62, subpart G. Since the revision of the CISWI rule, the State of
Colorado has identified at least one operational designated facility
which would be regulated under the revised rule, and has submitted a
new state plan, summarized in the following section, to comply with CAA
section 111/129 requirements.

II. Summary of Colorado's Section 111(d)/129 Plan for Existing CISWI
Units

    The EPA has completed a review of the new Colorado section 111(d)/
129 plan for existing CISWI units. The EPA has determined that the plan
submittal meets the requirements found in 40 CFR part 60, subparts B
and DDDD, and part 62, subpart A. Accordingly, the EPA is approving the
submitted state plan as proposed. See 83 FR 768 (Jan. 8, 2018). The
EPA's final approval action is limited to the new CISWI state plan and
the subpart DDDD ``Model Rule'' addressing CISWI units as they are
incorporated by the State of Colorado in the Code of Colorado
Regulations (CCR) at 5 CCR 1001-8, part A, subpart DDDD. A detailed
summary of the submittal's compliance with the requirements found in
the CFR is available in the technical support document (TSD) associated
with this rulemaking action. The TSD has been available in the docket
for this rulemaking action during the public comment period and may be
found at the www.regulations.gov website.

III. Response to Public Comments

    This rule will be finalized as proposed without revisions. The EPA
received a total of three anonymous public comments on the proposed
approval and promulgation of the Colorado CISWI State plan. After
reviewing the comments, the EPA has determined that the comments are
outside the scope of our proposed action or fail to identify any
material issue necessitating a response. All public comments received
on this rulemaking action are available for review by the public and
may be viewed by following the instructions for access to docket
materials as outlined in the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.

IV. Final Action

    The EPA is approving Colorado's section 111(d)/129 state plan for
existing CISWI units because the state plan requirements are at least
as stringent as the requirements for existing CISWI units found in 40
CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. Therefore, the EPA is amending 40 CFR part
62, subpart G, to reflect the withdrawal of Colorado's negative
declaration for existing CISWI units, and the approval of this plan.
The scope of the plan approval is limited to the provisions of 40 CFR
parts 60 and 62 for existing CISWI units, as found in the emission
guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. The Administrator retains
the authorities listed under 40 CFR 60.2542 and 60.2030(c).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a section
111(d)/129 plan submission that complies with the provisions of the Act
and applicable federal regulations. Thus, in reviewing section 111(d)/
129 plan submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA and are not
specifically disapproved. Accordingly, this action merely finalizes
approval of state law as meeting federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);

     Is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771 regulatory
action because this action is not significant under Executive Order
12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and,
     Is not subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) because it does not establish an environmental
health or safety standard.
    In addition, this final rule is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by May 29, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its enforce its requirements. (See CAA section 307(b)(2).)

InPipe Energy; Notice of Preliminary Determination of a
Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility and Soliciting Comments and
Motions To Intervene

    On September 22, 2020, InPipe Energy filed a notice of intent to
construct a qualifying conduit hydropower facility, pursuant to section
30 of the Federal Power Act (FPA). The proposed Piedmont Temporary
Regulator Pressure Recovery Project would have an installed capacity of
30 kilowatts (kW), and would be located along an existing municipal
water pipeline in the city of Piedmont, Alameda County, California.

[Docket No. FAA-2009-0906; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-075-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Boeing Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-
100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D,
747-400F, 747SR, and 747SP Series 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 Boeing Model 747 series airplanes. This proposed AD would
require replacing the power control relays for the main tank fuel boost
pumps and jettison pumps, and the center tank scavenge pump, as
applicable, with new relays having a ground fault interrupt (GFI)
feature. The proposed AD also would require revising the maintenance
program to incorporate Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) No. 28-AWL-23
(for Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-200C, 747-
200F, 747-300, 747SP, and 747SR series airplanes), and Nos. 28-AWL-28
and 28-AWL-29 (for Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series
airplanes). This proposed AD results from fuel system reviews conducted
by the manufacturer. We are proposing this AD to prevent damage to the
fuel pumps caused by electrical arcing that could introduce an ignition
source in the fuel tank, which, in combination with flammable fuel
vapors, could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of
the airplane.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by November 27,
2009.

Discussion

    The FAA has examined the underlying safety issues involved in fuel
tank explosions on several large transport airplanes, including the
adequacy of existing regulations, the service history of airplanes
subject to those regulations, and existing maintenance practices for
fuel tank systems. As a result of those findings, we issued a
regulation titled ``Transport Airplane Fuel Tank System Design Review,
Flammability Reduction and Maintenance and Inspection Requirements''
(66 FR 23086, May 7, 2001). In addition to new airworthiness standards
for transport airplanes and new maintenance requirements, this rule
included Special Federal Aviation Regulation No. 88 (``SFAR 88,''
Amendment 21-78, and subsequent Amendments 21-82 and 21-83).
    Among other actions, SFAR 88 requires certain type design (i.e.,
type certificate (TC) and supplemental type certificate (STC)) holders
to substantiate that their fuel tank systems can prevent ignition
sources in the fuel tanks. This requirement applies to type design
holders for large turbine-powered transport airplanes and for
subsequent modifications to those airplanes. It requires them to
perform design reviews and to develop design changes and maintenance
procedures if their designs do not meet the new fuel tank safety
standards. As explained in the preamble to the rule, we intended to
adopt airworthiness directives to mandate any changes found necessary
to address unsafe conditions identified as a result of these reviews.
    In evaluating these design reviews, we have established four
criteria intended to define the unsafe conditions associated with fuel
tank systems that require corrective actions. The percentage of
operating time during which fuel tanks are exposed to flammable
conditions is one of these criteria. The other three criteria address
the failure types under evaluation: single failures, single failures in
combination with a latent condition(s), and in-service failure
experience. For all four criteria, the evaluations included
consideration of previous actions taken that may mitigate the need for
further action.
    We have determined that the actions identified in this AD are
necessary to reduce the potential of ignition sources inside fuel
tanks, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors, could result
in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the airplane.
    As part of SFAR 88 analysis, Boeing determined that the power
control relays for the main tank fuel boost pumps and jettison pumps
and the center tank scavenge pump should be replaced with new relays
having a ground fault interrupt (GFI) feature. The relays are located
in the P414, P415, and P52 panels. The GFI feature is intended to
protect the fuel pumps from damage caused from electrical arcing by
removing electrical power from the pump if a ground fault is detected.
Electrical arcing, if not prevented, could introduce an ignition source
in the fuel tank, which, in combination with flammable fuel vapors,
could result in a fuel tank explosion and consequent loss of the
airplane.

Relevant Service Information

    We have reviewed Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-28A2261, dated
February 19, 2009. The service bulletin describes procedures for
replacing the relays for the main tank fuel boost pumps and jettison
pumps, and the center tank scavenge pump, as applicable, with new
relays having a GFI feature. The replacement also includes reworking
certain wiring and doing an operational test of the fuel boost pumps
and new relays.
    We have also reviewed the following documents, which include a
repetitive inspection (test) to verify continued functionality of the
GFI relays:
     For Model 747-400, 747-400D, and 747-400F series
airplanes: Subsection D, ``AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS--FUEL SYSTEMS,''
of Boeing 747-400 Maintenance Planning Data (MPD) Document, Document
D621U400-9, Section 9, Revision April 2008. Subsection D of Revision
April 2008 of the MPD includes new airworthiness limitations (AWLs) 28-
AWL-28 and 28-AWL-29. (These AWLs were first introduced in Revision
October 2007 of the MPD document.) Incorporating these AWLs are an
optional action in AD 2008-10-06, Amendment 39-15512 (73 FR 25990, May
8, 2008).

     For Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD, 747-200B, 747-
200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747SP, and 747SR series airplanes: Subsection
D, ``AIRWORTHINESS LIMITATIONS--SYSTEMS,'' of Boeing 747-100/200/300/SP
Airworthiness Limitations (AWLs) and Certification Maintenance
Requirements (CMRs), Document D6-13747-CMR, Revision March 2008.
Subsection D of Revision March 2008 of the AWLs includes new
airworthiness limitation AWL 28-AWL-23. (This AWL was first introduced
in Revision September 2007 of the AWLs/CMRs document.) Incorporating
this AWL is an optional action in AD 2008-10-07, Amendment 39-15513 (73
FR 25977, May 8, 2008).

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

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

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect 258 airplanes of
U.S. registry. The following table provides the estimated costs for
U.S. operators 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), and
    3. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    You can find our regulatory evaluation and the estimated costs of
compliance in the AD Docket.

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]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Boeing: Docket No. FAA-2009-0906; Directorate Identifier 2009-NM-
075-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by November 27, 2009.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Model 747-100, 747-100B, 747-100B SUD,
747-200B, 747-200C, 747-200F, 747-300, 747-400, 747-400D, 747-400F,
747SR, and 747SP series airplanes, certificated in any category; as
identified in Boeing Alert Service Bulletin 747-28A2261, dated
February 19, 2009.

    Note 1:  This AD requires a revision to a certain operator
maintenance document to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 43.16 and 91.403(c). For
airplanes that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired
in the areas addressed by these limitations, the operator may not be
able to accomplish the actions described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 43.16 and 91.403(c), the operator
must request approval for an alternative method of compliance
according to paragraph (j) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
