Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of
Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a revision to the Missouri State
Implementation Plan (SIP). This approval pertains to revisions to the
state's rule which restricts emissions from specific Missouri lead
smelter-refinery installations. The effect of this approval is to
remove duplication between two SIP-approved documents, and does not
affect the stringency of the requirements.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 12, 2006.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2006-0462 by one of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse
comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed action. EPA will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on part of this rule and if that part can be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of
the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

Limited Approval, Limited Disapproval of Arizona Air Plan
Revisions, Hayden Area; Sulfur Dioxide Control Measures--Copper
Smelters

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing a
limited approval and limited disapproval of revisions to the Arizona
State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns sulfur dioxide
(SO2) emissions from the primary copper smelter in Hayden,

I. The State's Submittal

A. What rule did the State submit?

    Table 1 lists the rule addressed by this proposal with the dates
that it was adopted and submitted by the ADEQ.

                                             Table 1--Submitted Rule
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               Rule #                        Rule title            Effective date              Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
R18-2-B1302.........................  Limits on SO2 Emissions  July 1, 2018..........  April 6, 2017.
                                       from the Hayden
                                       Smelter.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On July 17, 2017, the EPA determined that the submittal for the
rules and documents in Table 1 met the completeness criteria in 40 CFR
part 51 Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Letter dated July 17, 2017 from Elizabeth Adams, Director,
Air Division, EPA, Region IX to Timothy S. Franquist, Director, Air
Quality Division, ADEQ.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Are there other versions of this rule?

    There are no previous versions of R18-2-B1302 (``Rule B1302'') in
the SIP.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rule?

    On June 22, 2010, the EPA promulgated a new 1-hour primary sulfur
dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
of 75 parts per billion (ppb). On August 5, 2013, the EPA designated
the Hayden area within Arizona as nonattainment for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS. This designation became effective on October 4,
2013. Section 191(a) of the CAA directs states to submit SIPs for areas
designated as nonattainment for the SO2 NAAQS to the EPA
within 18 months of the effective date of the designation, i.e., by no
later than April 4, 2015, in this case. Under CAA section 192(a), these
plans are required to have measures that will help their respective
areas attain the NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable, but no later
than 5 years from the effective date of designation, which for the
Hayden SO2 NAA was October 4, 2018.
    ADEQ submitted an attainment plan for the Hayden SO2
nonattainment area on March 9, 2017 (``Hayden SO2 Plan'')
and submitted associated final rules, including Rule B1302, on April 6,
2017.\2\ Rule R18-2-B1302 establishes control requirements for
SO2 emissions from the copper smelter located in the Hayden,
AZ nonattainment area (``Hayden Smelter'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Letters dated March 8, 2017 and April 6, 2017 from Timothy
S. Franquist, Director, Air Quality Division, ADEQ, to Alexis
Strauss, Acting Regional Administrator, EPA, Region IX. Although the
cover letter for the Hayden SO2 Plan was dated March 8,
2017, the Plan was transmitted to the EPA on March 9, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rule?

    Rules in a SIP must be enforceable (see CAA section 110(a)(2)),
must not interfere with applicable requirements concerning attainment
and reasonable further progress or other CAA requirements (see CAA
section 110(l)), and must not modify certain SIP control requirements
in nonattainment areas without ensuring equivalent or greater emissions
reductions (see CAA section 193). CAA section 172(c)(1) requires that
SIPs for nonattainment areas provide for the implementation of all
reasonably available control measures (RACM), including any reasonably
available control technology (RACT), in order to provide for attainment
of the NAAQS, and CAA section 172(c)(6) requires that such SIPs
``include enforceable emission limitations, and such other control
measures means or techniques . . . as well as schedules and timetables
for compliance, as may be necessary or appropriate to provide for
attainment of such standard in such area by the applicable attainment
date . . .''
    Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability, revision and rule stringency requirements for the
applicable criteria pollutants include the following:
     ``State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the
Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,'' 57
FR

13498 (April 16, 1992); 57 FR 18070 (April 28, 1992).
     ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints,
Deficiencies, and Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook,
revised January 11, 1990).
     ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,'' EPA Region 9, August 21, 2001 (the Little Bluebook).
     ``Guidance for 1-Hour SO2 Nonattainment Area
SIP Submissions,'' EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards
(April 23, 2014).

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation criteria?

    Rule B1302 improves the SIP by establishing a more stringent
SO2 emission limit for the main stack at the Hayden smelter
than the existing requirements in state law, as well as new operational
standards and monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for
the smelter. The rule is partly consistent with CAA requirements and
relevant guidance regarding enforceability and SIP revisions. Rule
provisions that do not meet the evaluation criteria are summarized
below and discussed further in the technical support document (TSD) for
this action.

C. What are the rule deficiencies?

    These aspects of the rule do not satisfy the requirements of
section 110 and 172(c)(6) of the Act and prevent full approval of the
SIP revision:
    1. The rule does not contain any numeric emission limit(s) or
ongoing monitoring requirements corresponding to the levels of fugitive
emissions that were modeled in the Hayden SO2 Plan.\3\
Therefore, the rule does not fully satisfy CAA section 172(c)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The EPA is proposing to partially approve and partially
disapprove the Hayden SO2 Plan in a separate rulemaking
action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    2. Rule subsection (E)(4) provides an option for alternative
sampling points that could undermine the enforceability of the stack
emission limit by providing undue flexibility to change sampling points
without undergoing a SIP revision.
    3. Rule subsection (E)(6) allows for just under 10% of total
facility SO2 emissions annually to be exempt from CEMS; this
could compromise the enforceability of the main stack emission limit.
    4. The rule lacks a method for measuring or calculating emissions
from the shutdown ventilation flue; this could compromise the
enforceability of the main stack emission limit.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Rule B1302, section (F)(2) contains a procedure for
substituting emissions data for compliance demonstration purposes,
``when no valid hour or hours of data have been recorded by a
continuous monitoring system.'' In the absence of a method for
calculating hourly emissions, it is unclear when this procedure is
to be used.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    5. The rule lacks a method for calculating hourly SO2
emissions, so it is unclear what constitutes a ``valid hour'' for
purposes of allowing data substitution.

D. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rule

    In addition to detailing the rule deficiencies listed in the
previous section, the TSD includes several other recommendations for
improvement for the next time the State modifies the rule.

E. Proposed Action and Public Comment

    As authorized in sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA
is proposing a limited approval and limited disapproval of the
submitted rule. We will accept comments from the public on this
proposal until June 22, 2020. If finalized, this action would
incorporate the submitted rule into the SIP, including those provisions
identified as deficient. This approval is limited because the EPA is
simultaneously proposing a limited disapproval of the rule under
section 110(k)(3).
    Rule B1302 is relied upon by Arizona in the Hayden SO2
Attainment State Implementation Plan, which is required under CAA title
I, part D. Therefore, if finalized, this disapproval would trigger
sanctions under CAA section 179 and 40 CFR 52.31, unless the EPA
determines that a subsequent SIP revision corrects the rule
deficiencies within 18 months of the effective date of the final
action.
    Note that the submitted rule has been adopted by ADEQ, and the
EPA's final limited disapproval would not prevent the State from
enforcing it. The limited disapproval also would not prevent any
portion of the rule from being incorporated by reference into the
federally enforceable SIP.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Memorandum dated July 21, 1992 from John Calcagni,
Director Air Quality Management Division, to EPA Regional Air
Directors, Regions I-X, Subject: ``Processing of State
Implementation Plan (SIP) Submittals.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the ADEQ rules described in Table 1 of this preamble. The EPA
has made, and will continue to make, these materials available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA because this action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities beyond those
imposed by state law.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, no additional costs to
state, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, will
result from this action.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects 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.

G. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175, because the SIP 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, and will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) of the NTTAA directs the EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would
be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. The EPA
believes that this action is not subject to the requirements of section
12(d) of the NTTAA because application of those requirements would be
inconsistent with the CAA.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

    The EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental
justice in this rulemaking.

ACTION: Request for public comment on proposed collection of
information.

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

SUMMARY: Before a Federal agency can collect certain information from
the public, it must receive approval from the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Under procedures established by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995, before seeking OMB approval, Federal agencies must solicit
public comment on proposed collections of information, including
extensions and reinstatements of previously approved collections.
    This document describes the collection of information for which
NHTSA intends to seek OMB approval.

phone number is<PHONE_NUMBER> and her email address is
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995,
before an agency submits a proposed collection of information to OMB
for approval, it must publish a document in the Federal Register
providing a 60-day comment period and otherwise consult with members of
the public and affected agencies concerning each proposed collection of
information. The OMB has promulgated regulations describing what must
be included in such a document. Under OMB's regulations (at 5 CFR
1320.8(d)), an agency must ask for public comment on the following: (i)
Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the
proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether
the information will have practical utility; (ii) the accuracy of the
agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) how to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) how
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. In compliance with these requirements, NHTSA asks public
comment on the following proposed collection of information:

Mild Cognitive Impairment and Driving Performance

    Type of Request--New information collection requirement.
    OMB Clearance Number--None.
    Form Number--NHTSA Form 1240.
    Requested Expiration Date of Approval--3 years from date of
approval.
    Summary of the Collection of Information--The National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) proposes to collect information
from licensed older drivers about their driving habits in order to
determine whether they are eligible to participate in a study of the
effects of mild cognitive impairment on driving performance. Study
participation will be voluntary and solicited through driver
rehabilitation specialist (DRS) referrals of drivers suspected of
having some degree of cognitive impairment by the State of Virginia
Department of Motor Vehicle (VA DMV). A comparison group of drivers
matched on age and sex who have not been diagnosed with cognitive
impairment will also be recruited, either by contacting individuals who
participated in other studies and gave their consent to be contacted
about future research opportunities or by posting notices describing
the research opportunity at Area Agency on Aging Senior Centers. People
interested in in participating will contact a designated staff member
through a toll-free number to enroll. During a brief telephone pre-
screening, a project assistant will explain inclusion and exclusion
criteria for study participation. Candidate participants who meet these
criteria will be enrolled in the study.
    A project assistant will make appointments to visit each enrollee
to explain the study, answer questions about study participation and
obtain his/her signature on the informed consent agreement. The
remaining data for this study will be collected through both clinical
and on-road evaluations by the DRS. At the completion of each on-road
performance evaluation, an in-vehicle data collection system will be
installed in the subject's own car to obtain driving exposure
information. The in-vehicle system will include a device to collect the
vehicle's Global Positioning System coordinates and a companion device
to capture an image of the driver to confirm that the driver for each
trip is the study participant.
    The Government may decide to fund an optional task to collect
additional data. This Optional Task, if funded, would be conducted
thorough monthly telephone interviews with a subset of the same
drivers. In addition, a second set of clinical, driving exposure, and
performance data would be collected one year after the initial set was
collected, for the subset of participants in the Optional Task.
    Description of the Need for the Information and Proposed Use of the
Information--NHTSA was established to reduce the number of deaths,
injuries, and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes on
the Nation's highways. As part of this statutory mandate, NHTSA is
authorized to conduct research as a foundation for the development of
motor vehicle standards and traffic safety programs.
    Older adults comprise an increasing proportion of the (driving)
population and there is reason for concern about the consequences of
early stage dementia and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and driver
performance and safety, as these conditions become markedly more
prevalent with advancing age. The objective in this project is to
document differences in driving performance and exposure between
participants with MCI and a comparison group of drivers. Analyses of
these data will provide information about the relationship between
scores on clinical measurements of cognitive impairment and multiple
levels of driving performance and exposure among older adults. The
improved understanding of changes in driving behaviors associated with
MCI will help physicians, driving rehabilitation specialists, and
others who provide guidance to older adults regarding driving safety to
know when to recommend driving cessation. The findings from this study
also will help clinicians to identify and intervene when a client with
dementia begins to exhibit potentially risky driving behaviors. NHTSA
will use the information to inform recommendations to health care
providers and to the public regarding when the progression of a disease
or condition causing cognitive impairment results in the need to
transition from driving, with the ultimate goal of reducing injuries
and loss of life on the highway.
    Description of the Likely Respondents (Including Estimated Number,
and Proposed Frequency of Response to the Collection of Information)--
Respondents will include individuals who have been identified by the VA
DMV's medical referral and review practices as potentially cognitively
impaired, have been required to obtain a DRS evaluation to retain their
driving licenses, and have been diagnosed with mild cognitive
impairment (MCI). Control respondents will include participants matched
for age and sex who do not suffer from clinically diagnosed cognitive
impairment. It is estimated that 90 telephone conversations will be
conducted with respondents to descriptive solicitations, to yield 60
participants; this assumes that up to half of those initially
indicating interest will ultimately not meet inclusion criteria or be
uninterested in participating.
    Estimate of the Total Annual Reporting and Record Keeping Burden
Resulting from the Collection of Information--The 90 telephone
conversations will average 10 minutes in length including introduction,
qualifying questions, potential participant questions, logistical
questions, and conclusion. The total estimated annual burden will be 15
hours. Participants will incur no costs from the data collection and
participants will incur no record keeping burden and no record keeping
cost from the information collection. If the Optional Task is funded,
we assume a subset of 50% of the original sample would participate.
These participants will be contacted by phone once a month for the
period of one year. The resulting 12 contacts (approximately 10 minutes
in length) of an estimated 50% of the original sample (30 participants)
will result in a total estimated annual burden of 60 hours.

    Authority:  44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Proposed Collection; Comment Request

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

Extension:
    Rule 701; OMB Control No. 3235-0522; SEC File No. 270-306.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the collection of
information summarized below. The Commission plans to submit this
existing collection of information to the Office of Management and
Budget for extension and approval.
    Rule 701(17 CFR 230.701) under the Securities Act of 1933 (15
U.S.C. 77a et seq.) requires issuers conducting employee benefit plan
offerings in excess of $5 million in reliance on the rule to provide
the employees covered by the plan with risk and financial statement
disclosures. The purpose of Rule 701 is to ensure that a basic level of
information is available to employees and others when substantial
amounts of securities are issued in compensatory arrangements.
Approximately 300 companies annually rely on the Rule 701 exemption.
The Rule 701 disclosure takes an estimated 2 hours per response to
prepare for a total annual burden of 600 hours. We estimate that 25% of
the 2 hours per response (.5 hours) is prepared by the company for a
total annual reporting burden of 150 hours (.5 hours per response x 300
responses).
    Written comments are invited on: (a) Whether this collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the agency, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
imposed by the collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and (d)
ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use of automated collection
techniques or other forms of information technology. Consideration will
be given to comments and suggestions submitted in writing within 60
days of this publication.
    Please direct your written comments to R. Corey Booth, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, C/O
Shirley Martinson, 6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, Virginia 22312;
or send an e-mail to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
    Dated: December 4, 2007.

Deputy Secretary.
