May 9, 2014 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

On June 10, 2013, EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register entitled ``Formaldehyde Emissions Standards for Composite Wood Products.'' On April 8, 2014, EPA published a notice in the Federal Register announcing a public meeting and reopening the comment period for 30 days for comments related to the treatment of laminated products under the proposed rule. Based on requests from the public, EPA extended the public comment period. On May 6, 2014, EPA posted a memorandum in the docket for this proposed rule. That memorandum ensured that the docket would remain open until the announcement of the extension of the public comment period, which was set to end on May 8, 2014, could be published in the Federal Register. On May 6, 2014, an Agency-compiled list of stakeholders was notified of the extension of the comment period via email. This document announces the extension of the comment period until May 26, 2014.

This document announces an open teleconference/webinar of the Commercial and Industrial Pumps Working Group (Pumps Working Group). The purpose of the Pumps Working Group is to discuss and, if possible, reach consensus on a proposed rule for the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial pumps, as authorized by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended.

The Department of State is seeking Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval for the information collection described below. In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are requesting comments on this collection from all interested individuals and organizations. The purpose of this notice is to allow 60 days for public comment preceding submission of the collection to OMB.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing a confirmatory order to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA or Licensee), the holder of License Nos. DPR-33, DPR-52, DPR-68, authorizing the operation of Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant, Units 1, 2, and 3. The facility is located on the Licensee's site in Athens, Alabama. The order was a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution between the NRC and TVA, and required TVA to complete a number of corrective actions to address the submittal of information to the NRC that was not complete and accurate in all material respects, and to address TVA's change to a license condition without submitting an amendment request. The order is related to control room staffing levels that were not sufficient to implement certain fire response procedures and achieve safe shutdown on the three-unit site during a postulated fire event.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is issuing final revisions to the following sections in Chapter 3 of NUREG-0800, ``Standard Review Plan for the Review of Safety Analysis Reports for Nuclear Power Plants: LWR Edition,'' Section 3.9.3, ``ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 Components and Component Supports, and Core Support Structures,'' and Section 3.12, ``ASME Code Class 1, 2, and 3 Piping Systems, Piping Components and their Associated Supports.''

NMFS proposes management measures for the 2014 summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass recreational fisheries. The implementing regulations for these fisheries require NMFS to publish recreational measures for the fishing year and to provide an opportunity for public comment. The intent of these measures is to prevent overfishing of the summer flounder, scup, and black sea bass resources.

The Department of Commerce (the Department) preliminarily determines that grain-oriented electrical steel (GOES) from the Czech Republic is being, or is likely to be, sold in the United States at less than fair value (LTFV), as provided in section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). The period of investigation (POI) is July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. The estimated weighted- average dumping margins of sales at LTFV are listed in the ``Preliminary Determination'' section of this notice. Interested parties are invited to comment on this preliminary determination.

On November 25, 2013, the Department of Commerce (``the Department'') published its Preliminary Results of the 2011-2012 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood flooring (``MLWF'') from the People's Republic of China (``the PRC'').\1\ This review covers 76 companies. The mandatory respondents in this review are: (1) Armstrong Wood Products (Kunshan) Co., Ltd. (``Armstrong''); (2) Fine Furniture (Shanghai) Limited (``Fine Furniture''); and (3) Nanjing Minglin Wooden Industry Co. Ltd. (``Minglin''). The period of review (``POR'') is May 26, 2011, through November 30, 2012. We invited interested parties to comment on our Preliminary Results. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made changes to the margin calculations for these final results of the antidumping duty administrative review. The final dumping margins are listed below in the ``Final Results'' section of this notice.

The Environmental Protection Agency uses computer modeling to estimate human exposure to pesticides in drinking water. An input parameter for these exposure models is the percentage of a water supply's watershed area to which pesticides may be applied, a metric which EPA refers to as the ``percent cropped area'' (PCA). Recently, EPA has developed delineations of watersheds for surface water intakes of community water systems throughout the continental United States and has used this dataset to develop a corresponding dataset of watershed- specific PCAs. Development of this Community-Water SystemDrinking Water Intake dataset is described in a draft white paper, which has been updated based on peer review comments. EPA is making this updated version available for public review and comment.

In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (``CAA''), notice is hereby given of a proposed partial consent decree to address lawsuits filed by the States of New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Vermont; the Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and Puget Sound Clean Air Agency (collectively ``State Plaintiffs''); the American Lung Association, Environmental Defense Fund, Clean Air Council and Environment and Human Health, Inc. (collectively ``Environmental Plaintiffs''); and interveners the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association (``Association Plaintiff'') in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia: State of New York, et al. v. McCarthy, No. 13-1553 and consolidated case No. 13-1555 (D. D.C). Plaintiffs each filed a complaint alleging that EPA failed to perform a nondiscretionary duty to review, and, if necessary, revise the new performance standards for new residential wood heaters, at least every eight years. The consent decree would require EPA to sign a notice to take final action by February 3, 2015.

This notice announces a meeting of the Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee (ASRAC). The Federal Advisory Committee Act, Public Law 92-463, 86 Stat. 770, requires that agencies publish notice of an advisory committee meeting in the Federal Register.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is announcing plans to request renewed clearance of this collection. The primary purpose of this revision is to implement 2 CFR part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). NSF has requested and received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approval to implement the Uniform Guidance through NSF's longstanding practice of implementing these requirements via use of a policy rather than regulation. In conjunction with the terms and conditions of the award, the Proposal and Award Policies and Procedures Guide (PAPPG), and its predecessors, have served as NSF's implementation vehicle for OMB Circular A-110 since its initial issuance in 1976. The draft NSF PAPPG is now available for your review and consideration on the NSF Web site at https://www.nsf.gov/bfa/dias/ policy/. To facilitate review, text has been highlighted in yellow throughout the document that implements the Uniform Guidance. Inclusion of this highlighting appears in the following cases: Use of specific references to the Uniform Guidance; Direct replication of text from the Uniform Guidance; and NSF's implementation of requirements from the Uniform Guidance that are imposed on agencies. NSF is formally requesting deviations from OMB from the Uniform Guidance in only two areas: Limitation to two months salary compensation for faculty; and Alternative to the Federal Financial Report. Also highlighted throughout are policy changes that are being made independent of the Foundation's implementation of the Uniform Guidance. These changes are highlighted in blue. In accordance with the requirement of Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, we are providing opportunity for public comment on the PAPPG. NSF is particularly interested in public comment on NSF's implementation of 2 CFR part 200, as well as the policy changes that are identified in the PAPPG. Comments regarding the content of 2 CFR part 200 should not be submitted, as the Uniform Guidance was formally issued by OMB as final guidance on December 26, 2013 (see https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013- 30465.pdf). After obtaining and considering public comment, NSF will prepare the submission requesting OMB clearance of this collection for no longer than 3 years. In addition to the type of comments identified above, comments also are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the information shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information on respondents, including through the use of automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology; 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.

We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2006- 0707, for certain A300 B4-600, B4-600R, and F4-600R series airplanes, and Model C4-605R variant F airplanes (collectively called A300-600 series airplanes). AD 2006-0707 requires modifying nine bolt holes in the vertical flange of the center spar sealing angles. Since we issued AD 2006-0707, we have received reports that fatigue and damage tolerance analyses show that the inspection threshold and interval must be reduced to allow timely detection of cracks. This proposed AD would continue to require modification of bolt holes in the vertical flange of the center spar sealing angles, and any applicable related investigative and corrective actions. This proposed AD would also require inspections for cracks, a modification by cold expansion of the center spar sealing angles, replacement of both sealing angles and cold expansion of the attachment holes if necessary, and post-repair repetitive inspections and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to prevent crack formation in the sealing angles, which could rupture the sealing angle and lead to subsequent crack formation in the bottom skin of the wing, and result in reduced structural integrity of the center spar section of the wing.
