DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY

Coast Guard

[Docket No. USCG-2009-0384]

Maritime Security Directive 104-6 (Rev. 4); Guidelines for U.S.
Vessels Operating in High Risk Waters

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard announces the release of Maritime Security
(MARSEC) Directive 104-6 (Rev. 4). This Directive only applies to U.S.
flagged vessels subject to the Maritime Transportation Security Act
(MTSA) on international voyages through or in designated high risk
waters, and provides additional counter-piracy guidance and mandatory
measures for these vessels operating in these areas where acts of
piracy and armed robbery against ships are prevalent. MARSEC Directive
104-6 (Rev. 4) also includes an annex that provides specific direction
for vessels operating around the Horn of Africa. MARSEC Directives are
designated Sensitive Security Information (SSI) and are not subject to
public release.

DATES: MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 4) was made available on November
23, 2010. MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 3) is no longer valid after this
date.

ADDRESSES: The latest MARSEC Directives are available at your local
Captain of the Port (COTP) office. Phone numbers and addresses for your
local COTP office can be found in the Port Directory at http://homeport.uscg.mil.

questions on viewing material on the docket, call Renee V. Wright,
Program Manager, Docket Operations, telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Somali pirates operate along a 2,300 mile
coast and in 2.5 million square miles of ocean. Given the size and
complexity of the affected area, a combination of domestic and
international efforts is necessary to curb piratical activities. The
combination of piracy and weak rule of law in the region offers a
potential breeding ground for other transnational threats. Accordingly,
the U.S. has used existing statutory authority to develop regulations
designed to protect U.S.-flagged vessels and continues to work with
international partners to prevent piracy.
    On February 10, 2006, the Coast Guard announced the release of
MARSEC Directive 104-6 (71 FR 7054) for those owners and operators of
vessels subject to 33 CFR parts 101 and 104 to provide direction to
U.S. flagged vessels operating in high risk areas where acts of piracy
and armed robbery against ships are prevalent.
    That Directive has been superseded by four revisions updating the
Directive. MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 1) provided an updated list of
the high risk waters based on a biennial review of global piracy and
terrorism threats.
    MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 2), issued on May 11, 2009, provided
additional counter-piracy guidance to U.S. flagged vessels operating in
high risk waters where acts of piracy and armed robbery against ships
are prevalent. It also provided a listing of additional high risk
waters, updated

from the previous version of the Directive.
    MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 3) encourages the use of industry best
management practices that have proven to be successful in thwarting
pirate attacks and incorporates lessons-learned since the issuance of
Revision 2.
    MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 4), the Directive that is the subject
of this notice of availability, provides clarification for U.S. flagged
vessels berthed or anchored in high risk waters. Vessels at anchor
should operate in a manner consistent with vessels that transit through
high risk waters. Whether at anchor or underway, the vessels are
subjected to the same type of threats from attacking pirates. Vessels
berthed in high risk waters should implement enhanced security measures
as required by the MARSEC Directive. With the issuance of (Rev. 4),
MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 3) is no longer valid.
    To support the issuance of MARSEC Directive 104-6 (series), we have
developed piracy-related Port Security Advisories (PSAs) to provide
further guidance and direction to U.S. flagged vessels operating in
high risk waters to help facilitate compliance with this directive. The
PSAs can be found at http://homeport.uscg.mil/piracy, including a non-
SSI version of this MARSEC Directive.
    Procedural:
    COTPs and District Commanders can access all MARSEC Directives on
Homeport by logging in and going to Missions > Maritime Security >
Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) > Policy. Owners and
operators of U.S. flagged vessels that travel on international voyages
must contact their local COTP or cognizant District Commander to
acquire a copy of MARSEC Directive 104-6 (Rev. 4). COTPs or cognizant
District Commanders may provide this MARSEC Directive to appropriate
vessel owners and operators via mail or fax in accordance with SSI
handling procedures.
    Pursuant to 33 CFR 101.405, we consulted with the Department of
State, Office of the Secretary of Defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff,
Department of Transportation/Maritime Administration, Office of Naval
Intelligence, Department of Commerce, Department of Justice, Military
Sealift Command, Global Maritime Situational Awareness, Overseas
Security Advisory Council, United States Agency for International
Development, Naval Criminal Investigative Service, Customs and Border
Protection, Transportation Security Administration, U.S. Africa
Command, U.S. Central Command, and U.S. Transportation Command prior to
issuing these Directives.
    All MARSEC Directives issued pursuant to 33 CFR 101.405 are marked
as SSI in accordance with 49 CFR Part 1520. COTPs and District
Commanders will require individuals requesting a MARSEC Directive to
prove that they meet the standards for a ``covered person'' under 49
CFR 1520.7, have a ``need to know'' the information, as defined in 49
CFR 1520.11, and that they will safeguard the SSI in MARSEC Directive
104-6 (Rev. 4) as required in 49 CFR 1520.9.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Railroad Administration

[Docket Number FRA-2013-0080]

Petition for Waiver of Compliance

    In accordance with Part 211 of Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), this document provides the public notice that by a document
dated July 19, 2013, the Association of American Railroads (AAR), on
behalf of itself and its member railroads, has petitioned the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) for a waiver of compliance from certain
provisions of the Federal railroad safety regulations contained at 49
CFR Part 232, Brake System Safety Standards for Freight and Other Non-
Passenger Trains and Equipment; End-of-Train Devices. FRA assigned the
petition Docket Number FRA-2013-0080.
    In its petition, AAR seeks a waiver of compliance from 49 CFR
232.207, Class IA brake tests--1,000-mile inspection. Excluding 49 CFR
232.213, the current rule states that each train shall receive a Class
1A brake test performed by a qualified person, as defined in Sec.
232.5, at a location that is not more than 1,000 miles from the point
where any car in the train last received a Class 1 or 1A brake test.
AAR petitioned FRA for a 1-year limited waiver for the purpose of
demonstrating that a subsequent permanent waiver will improve safety
and eliminate unnecessary costs to the industry.
    Through a limited pilot effort AAR intends to demonstrate the
effectiveness of using wayside wheel temperature detector (WTD) data to
ensure safe braking performance. The focus of this pilot will be the
normal revenue service coal trains running on the Union Pacific
Railroad between Wyoming's Powder River Basin and an unloading facility
at White Bluff, AR, which is a round trip of approximately 2,600 miles.
The WTD that monitors the system is located at Sheep Creek, WY. Each
test train will receive a Class 1 brake test in accordance with Sec.
232.205 and a pre-departure inspection in accordance with Sec.  215.13
at North Platte, NE. The trains will leave North Platte and travel to a
coal loading facility in the Powder River Basin. On the return trip,
the trains will pass the WTD monitors at Sheep Creek for a braking
performance recording. They will continue through Van Buren, AR, and
then to an unloading facility in White Bluff, AR. The train cars will
return to the terminus at North Platte via Van Buren.
    A copy of the petition, as well as any written communications
concerning the petition, is available for review online at
www.regulations.gov and in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation's (DOT) Docket Operations Facility, 1200 New Jersey Ave.
SE., W12-140, Washington, DC 20590. The Docket Operations Facility is
open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
Holidays.
    Interested parties are invited to participate in these proceedings
by submitting written views, data, or comments. FRA does not anticipate
scheduling a public hearing in connection with these proceedings since
the facts do not appear to warrant a hearing. If any interested party
desires an opportunity for oral comment, they should notify FRA, in
writing, before the end of the comment period and specify the basis for
their request.

[EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386; FRL-9979-85--Region 7]

Approval of Nebraska Air Quality Implementation Plans; Adoption
of a New Chapter Under the Nebraska Administrative Code

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the state of Nebraska on November 14, 2011. Nebraska is
adding a new chapter titled ``Visibility Protection'' which provides
Nebraska authority to implement Federal regulations relating to
Regional Haze and Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART). The new
chapter incorporates EPA's Guidelines for BART Determinations under the
Regional Haze Rule. The revision to the SIP meets the visibility
component of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 30, 2018.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386. All documents in the docket are listed on
the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the index,
some information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. Background
II. What is being addressed in this document?
III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
IV. EPA's Response to Comments
V. What action is EPA taking?
VI. Incorporation by Reference
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    EPA received Nebraska's November 8, 2011, SIP submission. On
October 5, 2017, EPA proposed to approve the SIP submission from the
State of Nebraska. See 82 FR 46433. In conjunction with the October 5,
2017 notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR), EPA issued a direct final
rule (DFR) approving the same SIP submission. See 82 FR 46415. However,
in the DFR, EPA stated that if EPA received adverse comments by
November 6, 2017, the action would be withdrawn and not take effect.
EPA received one set of adverse comments prior to the close of the
comment period. EPA withdrew the DFR on November 27, 2017. See 82 FR
55951.
    The revision to title 129, adding chapter 43, Visibility
Protection, addressed in this action was originally proposed and
approved during the September 8, 2006, Environmental Quality Council
(ECQ) meeting. However, the revision was not approved by Attorney
General's office. On August 17, 2007, an amended package was re-
submitted to the EQC, at which time it was approved by both the EQC and
the Attorney General's office. After the Governor's signature, the
revision adding chapter 43 became effective on February 6, 2008.
Chapter 43 was submitted to the EPA, as part of a larger SIP package on
November 8, 2011. Some of the revisions submitted in November 2011,
were withdrawn by the State for various reasons. The remaining
revisions to title 129, except for

revisions adding chapter 43, were approved on October 7, 2016, (81 FR
69693). Chapter 43 is being addressed with this action.
    This final rule action will include the updated docket, address
comments received, and finalize the approval of Nebraska's SIP
submission.

II. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is taking action to approve revisions to Nebraska's SIP that
will amend title 129 of the Nebraska Administrative Code to include a
rule addressing certain requirements related to regional haze rule of
1999 \1\. This proposed revision adds a new chapter, chapter 43,
entitled ``Visibility Protection'', to title 129 which incorporates a
portion of EPA Code of Federal Regulations under title 40 part 51 of
EPA's Guidelines for BART determinations under the Regional Haze Rule.
This new chapter provides the Nebraska Department of Environmental
Quality (NDEQ) the authority to require sources to conduct BART
determinations for the purpose of issuing BART permits. This revision
to title 129 is consistent with Federal regulations related to Regional
Haze and BART, adopting by reference the definitions for the Federal
Regional Haze rule at 40 CFR 51.301 and adopting by reference, appendix
Y to 40 CFR part 51, ``Guidelines for BART Determinations under the
Regional Haze Rule.'' The revision to the SIP also meets the visibility
component of the CAA section 110(a)(2)(J). Approval of these revisions
will not impact air quality and will ensure consistency between the
State and federally approved rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Title 40 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) 51.308.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The state submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The
revised chapter was placed on public notice and a public hearing was
held by the State on July 13, 2007, where no comments were received. In
addition, the revision meets the substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and implementing regulations.

IV. EPA's Response to Comments

    The public comment period on EPA's proposed rule opened October 5,
2017 the date of its publication in the Federal Register, and closed on
November 6, 2017. During this period, EPA received one set of adverse
comments, which are addressed below.
    Comment 1: The commenter stated that the EPA has improperly titled
this action. The commenter elaborated by stating that if EPA is acting
on a Regional Haze SIP from Nebraska, then it should not be calling
this `New Chapter under Nebraska Code'. The commenter's concern was
that the title was not descriptive or transparent. Finally, the
commenter stated that the EPA's titling of this action could very well
violate the administrative procedures act (APA), or at least the spirit
of the APA.
    Response 1: By this action, EPA is not acting on a regional haze
SIP. This rule gives NDEQ the authority to issue permits for best
available retrofit technology or ``BART.'' EPA retained the title used
by the state in describing its SIP, and that title accurately describes
the action--addition of the new chapter 43.
    The Administrative Procedure Act at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(1)-(3) states
that the notification of the rule be published in the Federal Register
and that the document shall include the time, place, and nature of the
public rule making proceedings, the legal authority for the proposed
rule, and either the terms or substance of the proposed rule or a
description of the subjects and issues involved. This action meets the
procedures outlined in the APA. The proposal document was published in
the Federal Register. See 82 FR 46433. It provided a summary that
clearly described that substance of the proposed rule, explaining that
the addition of the new chapter provides Nebraska with ``authority to
implement Federal regulations relating to Regional Haze and Best
Available Retrofit Technology (BART) . . . [and] meets the visibility
component of the Clean Air Act (CAA).'' Id. In addition, the document
provided information on the process for submitting comments and
explained the general rulemaking process EPA was using (i.e., the
direct final rule with an accompany parallel proposal). That document
also clearly stated that EPA ``explained our reasons for this action in
the preamble to the direct final rule,'' id., thereby incorporating the
information provided in the accompanying direct final rule preamble,
and directing the reader where to find the document for the direct
final rule within the Federal Register. In turn, the document for the
direct final rule provided more detail on the substance of the SIP
submittal and the legal authority for both Nebraska's submission and
EPA's action on it. See 82 FR 46415 (which includes a section
describing how the state's submission met various statutory and
regulatory requirements and explaining that EPA could approve the
submission because it is consistent with Federal Regional Haze
regulations in 40 CFR part 51 and CAA section 110(a)(2)(j)).
    Comment 2: The commenter stated that EPA needs to repropose this
action. The commenter stated that multiple documents in the docket were
incomplete, specifically citing: ``1) the memo from NE that details the
regional haze changes to chapter 43 has been cutoff, see docket
document ending in 2017-0386-0012, page 4--this page ends in the middle
of a sentence and does not include important information allowing me to
evaluate and provide comment. 2) Document ending in 2017-0386-0016,
page 5 is corrupt and page 6 is nonexistant [sic].'' The commenter was
concerned that information was not able to be reviewed or commented on.
    Response 2: After review of the comments received and the EPA's
docket for this action, the EPA agrees that the pages outlined by the
commenter were missing. However, the missing pages highlighted by the
commenter were not provided by the state as part of the state's SIP
submission, was an administrative error, and were not used to support
the EPA's action. To verify this statement, the EPA has followed up
with the state of Nebraska. The state determined that the documents in
the docket were the same as what was placed on review for public
comment in Nebraska during the state's comment period. The referenced
memorandum was a request for approval. It is not evidence of the
governor's approval and therefore, is not relied upon for the approval
of the SIP action. The attachment listed in the docket as 2017-0386-
0016 is a proposed SIP revision for chapter 5 of Nebraska's SIP. EPA
took action on this portion of the submission on October 7, 2016 (see
81 FR 69693). Therefore, attachment 2017-0386-0016 of the docket for
this action is not relied upon to support this action.
    Additionally, the state's submission included additional revisions
that are not being acted upon in this action.\2\ When the EPA uploaded
the docket for this action, additional attachments were included. For
this action, the EPA relied upon the following specific pages of the
outlined attachments:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ September 12, 2016, letter in the docket.

--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0003--pages 1 through 3;

--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0004--page 1;
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0006--pages 1 through 12;
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0010--pages 5 through 6;
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0011--page 2;
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0013--page 2;
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0015--page 3; and
--EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0386-0019--pages 1 through 4.

All the documents EPA relied on were included in the docket at the time
the Federal Register document was published.
    Comment 3: The commenter stated that the EPA failed to evaluate
this action in regard to the March 27, 2017, executive order on energy
independence and economic growth. EPA's requirement for states to adopt
regional haze SIPs, and thus including chapter 43 in the SIP, will
cause a significant impact on coal EGUs and eventually closure of coal
EGUs in the state, causing economic hardship on the local communities.
Nebraska's fiscal impact statement says, ``There is a substantial cost
to BART-eligible sources for the required modeling under the BART
program. As of now, it is unknown whether and what controls any source
in Nebraska may have to install to comply with BART, but the cost of
controls would be substantial.'' The requirement to comply with chapter
43 is significant.
    Response 3: Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve
a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
actions, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. The EPA
cannot consider disapproving a SIP submission or require any changes
based on the March 27, 2017, executive order.
    Comment 4: The commenter stated that it is unclear from the action
whether EPA is approving the other chapters and revisions to other
chapters into the SIP. EPA included multiple other rules in the docket;
however, the rule making action only discusses chapter 43, which is
merely three provisions long.
    Response 4: EPA acknowledges that the state's submittal referenced
multiple additional chapters and revisions to the state's rules. Within
the proposal for this action, the EPA clearly stated that it was
proposing ``to take action to add chapter 43, `Visibility Protection.'
'' 82 FR 46433. Within the EPA's proposal, no additional chapters were
referenced for approval. This action finalizes the proposed action \3\
and does not include any additional chapters beyond chapter 43. As the
EPA stated earlier, additional portions of the state's submittal were
included in the docket for the proposed rule. As outlined in Nebraska's
September 12, 2016, letter, portions of the state's submission were
withdrawn. However, the EPA has kept the docket intact and added the
September 12, 2016, letter to provide additional clarity on which
portions of the submission that the EPA was requested to approve.
However, in response to comment number 2, the EPA has provided specific
pages of the docket on which the EPA relied for this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 82 FR 46433
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comment 5: The commenter stated that the EPA did not evaluate the
new regulation against the EPA's Regional Haze Rule nor did EPA show
that this new rule meets the regional haze requirements. EPA also did
not say whether or not approving this new rule means that Nebraska has
an approved Regional Haze SIP.
    Response 5: This action is not specifically a Regional Haze SIP.
This action is designed to show that NDEQ has the authority to
implement BART procedures. This action was not required as part of
Nebraska's Regional Haze SIP. The EPA partially approved and partially
disapproved Nebraska's Regional Haze SIP on July 6, 2012. The full
docket for that rulemaking can be found at EPA-R07-2012-0158-0051.
    Comment 6: The commenter stated that assuming this new rule is not
a Regional Haze SIP and does not meet the requirements of the Regional
Haze rule, EPA needs to require Nebraska to submit any permits issued
to address BART under this new rule as source-specific SIP revisions as
this rule is merely a generic-type rule that lays out a process by
which sources will address BART related requirements.
    Response 6: As explained above, this action is not specifically a
Regional Haze SIP, so the assumptions alleged in the comment are not
relevant. This action is designed to show that NDEQ has the authority
to implement BART procedures and it has been approved for that
purposes. This action was not required as part of Nebraska's Regional
Haze SIP, which the EPA partially approved and partially disapproved on
July 6, 2012 (see rulemaking docket EPA-R07-2012-0158-0051).
    Comment 7: The commenter stated that the new chapter 43 and the
revised chapter 1 do not include any Regional Haze related definitions
such as the definition of BART, or the types of emission limitations or
work practices which constitute BART for a given source. The commenter
also stated that there was confusion on if EPA was acting on chapter 1
as part of this action.
    Response 7: As the EPA outlined in its proposed rule and explained
above in response to comment 4, the EPA is only acting on chapter 43 in
this action. EPA is not acting on revisions to chapter 1 in this
action. Chapter 43 references the Federal BART requirements. The state
is incorporating a portion of the Federal requirements, including
definitions related to BART.

V. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is taking final action to revise the Nebraska SIP to add a new
chapter, chapter 43.

VI. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Nebraska
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 7
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
    Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion
in the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by reference
by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections
110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking
of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves 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 an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted 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 (Public Law 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
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where 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. 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 August 27, 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 requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

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 amends the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above
the surface in Bangor, ME, to support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal
Register (86 FR 38419, July 21, 2021) for Docket No. FAA-2021-0066 to
amend Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface
at Bangor, ME, by establishing airspace for Eastern Maine Medical
Center Heliport, and removing the Bangor VORTAC from the Bangor
International Airport descriptor, as it is no longer used.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005, of
FAA Order JO 7400.11F, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021, 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.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace Designations
and Reporting Points, dated August 10, 2021, and effective September
15, 2021. FAA Order JO 7400.11F is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists Class
A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and reporting
points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending 14 CFR part 71 by amending the Class E airspace
extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Bangor, ME, by
establishing controlled airspace for Eastern Maine Medical Center
Heliport to accommodate new RNAV standard instrument approach
procedures serving this heliport. Also, this action amends Class E
airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface for Bangor
International Airport, omitting the Bangor VORTAC, as well as removing
the extension to the north, reducing the radius to 8.4 miles
(previously 10 miles), and amending the extension to the southeast to a
134[deg] bearing from the airport, extending from the 8.4-mile radius
to 15.5-miles southeast of the airport (previously 136[deg] bearing
extending from the 10-mile radius to 16.7 miles southeast of the
airport). Controlled airspace is necessary for the safety and
management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations in the area.
    FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points,
is published yearly and effective on September 15.

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. 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 minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only
affects air traffic procedures an air navigation, it is certified that
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an
environmental assessment.

    Abstract: Under Title II of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (42 U.S.C. 7521
et seq.), EPA issues certificates of conformity for motor vehicle
designs and engines that comply with applicable emission standards set
under section 202(a)(1) of the CAA, such as those for CO2,
N2O, and CH4 in the final regulation. Under 49
U.S.C. 32902, NHTSA is mandated to require manufacturers comply with
fuel economy and consumption standards. Manufacturers will submit
applications to certify their products and respond to the information
collection activities detailed in the HD National Program. They will
also submit reports, conduct compliance testing, label certified
vehicles, provide final year-end-reports and retain records of
information.
    Manufacturer test results will be used by EPA to perform
confirmatory testing on a sufficient number of engines and vehicles to
confirm manufacturer-reported results. EPA's emission certification
programs and NHTSA's fuel efficiency programs are statutorily mandated.
EPA does not have discretion to cease these functions under Section
206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521).
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of Medium- and Heavy-
Duty Engines and Vehicles; owners of heavy-duty truck fleets.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (42 U.S.C. 7521) (40
CFR 1036.730 and 1037.730).
    Estimated number of respondents: 34 (total).

Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Model A330-200 and -300 Series
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding an existing airworthiness directive (AD)
that applies to the products listed above. This AD results from
mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an
aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:
* * * * *
    The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3,
which is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
    The revision 03 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 introduces more
restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations. Failure to comply with this revision constitutes an
unsafe condition.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is safety-significant latent failures that would,
in combination with one or more other specific failures or events,
result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. We are issuing
this AD to require actions to correct the unsafe condition on these
products.

DATES: This AD becomes effective August 1, 2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of August 1,
2011.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain other publication listed in this AD as of April
9, 2007 (72 FR 9658, March 5, 2007).

ADDRESSES: You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov or in person at the U.S. Department of
Transportation, Docket Operations, M-30, West Building Ground Floor,
Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a second supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) to amend 14 CFR part 39 to include an AD that would apply to the
specified products. That NPRM was published in the Federal Register on
February 7, 2011 (76 FR 6578), and proposed to supersede AD 2007-05-08,
Amendment 39-14969 (72 FR 9658, March 5, 2007). That NPRM proposed to
correct an unsafe condition for the specified products. The MCAI
states:

    The airworthiness limitations are currently distributed in the
Airbus A330 Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS).
    The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3,
which is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
    The revision 03 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 introduces more
restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations. Failure to comply with this revision constitutes an
unsafe condition.
    For the reason described above, this new AD supersedes EASA AD
2010-0048 and requires the implementation of the new or more
restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations as specified in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 revision 03.

The unsafe condition is safety-significant latent failures that would,
in combination with one or more other specific failures or events,
result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition. You may obtain
further information by examining the MCAI in the AD docket.

Comments

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

Request To Delete Requirement of No Alternative Inspection Interval

    Hawaiian Airlines (Hawaiian) requested that paragraph (j) of the
second supplemental NPRM be removed completely, or amended to delete
the requirement regarding the inspection interval. Hawaiian explained
that paragraph (j) of the second supplemental NPRM would mandate that
no alternative inspections or inspection intervals could be used unless
approved as an alternative method of compliance (AMOC). Hawaiian argued
that this proposed requirement would restrict operators from using the
long standing approved

ALS Part 3 policy for exceptional short-term extensions, as defined in
``Ref (C) ALS paragraph 9.'' Hawaiian reasoned that the proposed
requirement would also restrict operators from adjusting the interval
on two-star certification maintenance requirements (CMR**) in
accordance with the operators approved escalation practices or approved
reliability program, as allowed per ``Ref (C) paragraph 6.B.''
    We partially agree. While we do not agree to remove paragraph (j)
or delete the inspection interval in paragraph (j) of this final rule,
we agree to add the phrase, ``other than those specified in Airbus A330
ALS, Part 3--Certification Maintenance Requirements, Revision 03, dated
July 29, 2010,'' which allows operators to use alternative inspections
and alternative inspection intervals within the guidelines of Airbus
A330 ALS, Part 3--Certification Maintenance Requirements, Revision 03,
dated July 29, 2010. We have also revised paragraph (g) of this AD by
replacing the phrase ``at the times'' with the phrase ``within the
times'' to clarify all compliance times and extensions specified in
Airbus A330 ALS, Part 3--Certification Maintenance Requirements,
Revision 03, dated July 29, 2010, are acceptable.

Request for Inclusion of Appropriate AD

    Airbus requested that we revise the second supplemental NPRM to
reference the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) AD 2006-0224,
dated July 27, 2006, instead of EASA AD 2006-0225, dated July 21, 2006.
Airbus explained that EASA AD 2006-0225, dated July 21, 2006, is listed
in the Related Information paragraph (paragraph (l)) of the second
supplemental NPRM.
    We agree to revise this final rule to reference EASA AD 2006-0224,
dated July 27, 2006, in paragraph (l) of this AD. We have determined
that EASA AD 2006-0224, dated July 27, 2006, is the appropriate
corresponding EASA AD for this final rule.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the available data, including the comments received,
and determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
the 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 the AD.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have required different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow our FAA policies. Any such differences
are highlighted in a Note within the AD.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect about 55 products of U.S.
registry.
    The actions that are required by AD 2007-05-08 and retained in this
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 will take about 1 work-hour per product to
comply with the new basic requirements of this AD. The average labor
rate is $85 per work-hour. Based on these figures, we estimate the cost
of this AD to the U.S. operators to be $4,675, 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

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

Examining the AD Docket

    You may examine the AD docket on the Internet at http://www.regulations.gov; or in person at the Docket Operations office
between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal
holidays. The AD docket contains the NPRM, the regulatory evaluation,
any comments received, and other information. The street address for
the Docket Operations office (telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>) is in the
ADDRESSES section. Comments will be available in the AD docket shortly
after receipt.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

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

Adoption of the Amendment

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

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

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

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

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

0
2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by removing Amendment 39-14969 (72 FR
9658, March 5, 2007) and adding the following new AD:

2011-13-09 Airbus: Amendment 39-16732. Docket No. FAA-2009-1212;
Directorate Identifier 2008-NM-167-AD.

Effective Date

    (a) This airworthiness directive (AD) becomes effective August
1, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) This AD supersedes AD 2007-05-08, Amendment 39-14969.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to all Airbus Model A330-201, -202, -203, -
223, -223F, -243, -243F, -301, -302, -303, -321, -322, -323, -341, -
342, and -343 airplanes, certificated in any category; all serial
numbers.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 05.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:
* * * * *
    The airworthiness limitations applicable to the Certification
Maintenance Requirements (CMR) are given in Airbus A330 ALS Part 3,
which is approved by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
    The revision 03 of Airbus A330 ALS Part 3 introduces more
restrictive maintenance requirements and/or airworthiness
limitations. Failure to comply with this revision constitutes an
unsafe condition.
* * * * *
The unsafe condition is safety-significant latent failures that
would, in combination with one or more other specific failures or
events, result in a hazardous or catastrophic failure condition.

    Note 1: This AD requires revisions to certain operator
maintenance documents to include new inspections. Compliance with
these inspections is required by 14 CFR 91.403(c). For airplanes
that have been previously modified, altered, or repaired in the
areas addressed by these inspections, the operator may not be able
to accomplish the inspections described in the revisions. In this
situation, to comply with 14 CFR 91.403(c), the operator must
request approval for an alternative method of compliance according
to paragraph (k) of this AD. The request should include a
description of changes to the required inspections that will ensure
the continued damage tolerance of the affected structure. The FAA
has provided guidance for this determination in Advisory Circular
(AC) 25-1529-1A.

Restatement of Requirements of AD 2007-05-08, With Requirements for
Model A340 Airplanes Removed

Revise the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the Instructions
for Continued Airworthiness

    (f) Unless already done: Within 90 days after April 9, 2007 (the

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking

A. Regulatory Information

    On February 27, 2015, we published a notice of proposed rulemaking
entitled Safety Zone; Marine Safety Unit Savannah Safety Zone for Heavy
Weather and Other Natural Disasters, Savannah Captain of the Port Zone,
Savannah, GA. We received one public comment in support of the safety
zone. No public meeting was requested, and none was held. No other
documents were published as part of this rulemaking.

B. Basis and Purpose

    The legal basis for this rule is the Coast Guard's authority to
establish regulated navigation areas and other limited access areas: 33
U.S.C. 1231; 50 U.S.C. 191, 195; 33 CFR 1.05-1, 6.04-1, 160.5;
Department of Homeland Security Delegation No. 0170.1.
    The purpose of these regulations is to ensure the safety of life on
navigable waters of the United States through the addition of
regulations in the event of natural and other disasters.

C. Discussion of Rule

    The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone throughout
the Marine Safety Unit Savannah Captain of the Port Zone. This action
is necessary to consolidate, clarify, and otherwise modify safety and
security zone regulations within the Ports of Savannah and Brunswick.
This action would establish a safety zone in the event of a disaster
affecting navigable waterways within the Marine Safety Unit Savannah
Captain of the Port Zone.
    Only one positive comment was received in support of the
regulation. No changes were made in the rule making.

D. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
of these statutes or executive orders.

1. Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is not a significant regulatory action under section 3(f)
of Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review, and does not
require an assessment of potential costs

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that order. The Office of
Management and Budget has not reviewed it under that Order. It is not
``significant'' under the regulatory policies and procedures of the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
    The regulations that are being added are not expected to have a
significant regulatory impact due to the infrequency of use for the
safety zone.

2. Impact of Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires federal agencies to consider the potential impact
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 received no comments from the Small Business
Administration on this rule. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. This safety zone would not have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities for the
following reasons: The safety zone would be activated and subject to
enforcement only during the event of natural or other disasters.

3. Assistance for Small Entities

    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FUTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

4. Collection of Information

    This rule calls for no new collection of information under the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

5. Federalism

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on State or local
governments and would either preempt State law or impose a substantial
direct cost of compliance on them. We have analyzed this rule under
that Order and have determined that this rule does not have
implications for federalism.

6. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places or vessels.

7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions that may
result in the expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for
inflation) or more in any one year. Though this rule would not result
in such expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.

8. Taking of Private Property

    This rule will not cause a taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental
Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.

9. Civil Justice Reform

    This rule meets applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2)
of Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce burden.

10. Protection of Children

    We have analyzed this rule under Executive Order 13045, Protection
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks. This rule
is not an economically significant rule and does not create an
environmental risk to health or safety that may disproportionately
affect children.

11. Indian Tribal Governments

    This 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.

12. Energy Effects

    This action is not a ``significant energy action'' under Executive
Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use.

13. Technical Standards

    This rule does not use technical standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus standards.

14. Environment

    We analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which
guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental
Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined
that this action is one of a category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves waterway use restrictions that would be
otherwise published as a Temporary Final Rule within the Savannah
Captain of the Port Zone. This rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2-1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis checklist supporting this
determination and a Categorical Exclusion Determination are available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek any comment or
information that may lead to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from the rule.
