Proposed Reissuance of the NPDES General Permits for Oil and Gas Exploration Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf and Contiguous State Waters in the Beaufort Sea and on the Outer Continental Shelf in the Chukchi Sea
Document Number: 2012-2031
Type: Notice
Date: 2012-01-31
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA Region 10 proposes to reissue the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permits for Oil and Gas Exploration Facilities on the Outer Continental Shelf and Contiguous State Waters in the Beaufort Sea (Permit No. AKG-28-2100) and on the Outer Continental Shelf in the Chukchi Sea (Permit No. AKG-28-8100). As proposed, the Beaufort and Chukchi general permits would authorize thirteen types of discharges from facilities engaged in field exploration and drilling activities under the Offshore Subcategory of the Oil and Gas Extraction Point Source Category (40 CFR Part 425, Subpart A), as authorized by Section 402 of the Clean Water Act (CWA or ``the Act''), 33 U.S.C. 1342. State Certification of Beaufort General Permit: Section 401 of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341, requires EPA to seek a certification from the State of Alaska that the conditions of the Beaufort general permit are stringent enough to comply with State water quality standards. EPA obtained a draft certification from the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) on January 10, 2012. EPA intends to seek a final certification from DEC prior to issuing the final Beaufort general permit. When the State issues a final certification, it may impose more stringent conditions than what is proposed in the Beaufort general permit to ensure compliance with State water quality standards. EPA would then be required to include the more stringent conditions from the State certification in the permit pursuant to Section 401(d) of the Act, 33 U.S.C. 1341(d). This is also notice of the draft CWA Section 401 certification provided by the State of Alaska.

Type: Notice
Date: 2012-01-31
Agency: Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation
This notice announces the availability of funding and requests proposals for the Department of Transportation's National Infrastructure Investments.

The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2012 (Pub. L. 112-055, Nov. 18, 2011) (``FY 2012 Appropriations Act'') appropriated $500 million to be awarded by the Department of Transportation (``DOT'') for National Infrastructure Investments.

Because of the similarity in program structure, DOT will continue to refer to the program as ``TIGER Discretionary Grants.''

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes
Document Number: 2012-1993
Type: Rule
Date: 2012-01-31
Agency: Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Transportation
We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400, -401, and -402 airplanes. This AD requires an inspection of a certain alternating current (AC) power wire bundle for damage, and repair if necessary. Additionally, this AD requires segregating the wire bundle into two wire bundles and installing Teflon tubing. This AD was prompted by multiple reports of the loss of certain AC systems caused by a burnt AC power wire bundle. We are issuing this AD to prevent the loss of ice protection systems for the angle of attack vanes, pitot probes, engine inlets, and windshields, and consequent loss of or misleading airspeed indication and increased workload for the flight crew, which could lead to loss of control of the airplane.
