SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Rule
amending the geographic coordinates of
the Grand Forks International Airport
ILS Localizer from ‘‘(lat. 47°53′43″ N.,
long. 97°10′52″ W.)’’ to ‘‘(lat. 47°57′43″
N., long. 97°10′52″ W.)’’, to coincide
with the FAA’s Aeronautical database.
Since this is an administrative change
and does not affect the boundaries,
altitudes, or operating requirements of
the airspace, I find that notice and
public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)
is impracticable and contrary to the
public interest.
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. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not
a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44
FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3)
does not warrant preparation of a
regulatory evaluation as the anticipated
impact is so minimal. Since this is a
routine matter that only affects air traffic
procedures and 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.
The FAA’s authority to issue rules
regarding aviation safety is found in
Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1,
Section 106, describes the authority of
the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more
detail the scope of the agency’s
authority. This rulemaking is
promulgated under the authority
described in Subtitle VII, Part A,
Subpart 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
controlled airspace in the Grand Forks,
ND area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Delaware River Basin Commission is a
federal-state regional agency charged
with managing the water resources of
the Delaware River Basin without regard
to political boundaries. Its members are
the governors of the four basin states—
Delaware, New Jersey, New York and
Pennsylvania—and the North Atlantic
Division Commander of the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers, representing the
federal government.
Notice of the proposed amendments
appeared in the Federal Register (78 FR
47241) on August 5, 2013 as well as in
the Delaware Register of Regulations (17
DE Reg. 143) on August 1, 2013, the
New Jersey Register (45 N.J.R. 1907) on
August 5, 2013, the New York State
Register (page 3) on August 14, 2013
and the Pennsylvania Bulletin (43 Pa.B.
4740) on August 17, 2013. Notice of the
proposed changes also was published
on the Commission’s Web site on
August 2, 2013. A public hearing was
held on September 10, 2013 and written
comments were accepted through
September 20, 2013.
The uniform water quality criterion of
16 picograms per liter for
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the
Delaware Estuary and Bay for the
protection of human health from
carcinogenic effects is the product of
more than a decade of data-gathering,
assessment, debate and consensusbuilding involving dischargers,
regulators, scientists, policy-makers and
other stakeholders from across the
region. The criterion is the product of a
rigorous application of the most current
available data and methodology,
including site-specific data on fish

consumption, site-specific
bioaccumulation factors, and the current
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) methodology for the development
of human health criteria for toxic
pollutants (see EPA–822–B–00–004,
October 2000). The criterion will
replace the Commission’s current PCB
criteria for the Estuary and Bay, which
are inconsistent with the current EPA
methodology and pre-date the collection
of site-specific data that are relevant to
the development of human health water
quality criteria. The current data also
vary by water quality zone, adding
undue complexity to application of the
criteria in these tidal waters.
In addition to proposing the criterion,
the Commission’s notice of proposed
rulemaking in August 2013 invited
comment on a draft strategy for
implementing the criterion for both
point and non-point sources. Developed
by the DRBC in partnership with the
environmental agencies of the states of
Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania,
EPA regions II and III and EPA
Headquarters (collectively, ‘‘the coregulators’’), the draft strategy sets forth
detailed approaches for reducing PCB
loadings from point and non-point
sources over the coming decades. A key
objective of the strategy is to provide
uniformity and a degree of certainty to
NPDES permits that will be issued by
the states bordering the Estuary and
Bay. Notably, no Commission action on
the draft implementation strategy was or
is proposed. As DRBC’s Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking indicated, new
total maximum daily loads (‘‘Stage 2
TMDLs’’) for PCBs in the Delaware
Estuary and Bay will be established by
EPA on behalf of the Estuary states and
at their request following publication of
this Final Rule. The strategy document
will be included as an Appendix to the
Stage 2 TMDL report when issued. Until
Stage 2 TMDLs based upon the new
criterion are established the coregulators will apply the existing
NPDES permit approach, which was
published as an appendix to the 2003
(Stage 1) TMDLs for PCBs in the
Delaware Estuary.

public hearing was held on October 24,
2013 and written comments were
accepted through November 21, 2013.
No written or oral comments were
received.
The Commission’s current criteria for
pH in interstate streams were adopted in
1967. Today, these criteria are
inconsistent with scientists’ increased
understanding of natural fluctuations in
freshwater and saltwater pH levels and
with modern applications of pH criteria.
The amendments approved by the
Commission on December 4, 2013 will
minimize regulatory inconsistencies and
better address natural pH cycles in the
main stem Delaware River. First, they
will increase from 6.0 to 6.5 the lower
threshold of the range of acceptable pH
conditions in non-tidal zones of the
main stem—DRBC Water Quality Zones
1A through 1E. Second, they will add a
clause to the pH criteria for all interstate
tidal and non-tidal water quality zones,
recognizing natural deviations outside
the 6.5 to 8.5 pH range. In accordance
with these changes, the pH criteria for
Water Quality Zones 1A through IE (the
non-tidal main stem) and 2 through 6
(the tidal main stem and tidal portions
of tributaries) will read, ‘‘Between 6.5
and 8.5 inclusive, unless outside this
range due to natural conditions.’’
The affected sections of the
commission’s Water Code and Water
Quality Regulations consist of
subsection C.3 of each of sections 3.20.2
through 3.20.6, respectively, for Water
Quality Zones 1A through 1E (non-tidal
main stem); and sections 3.30.2 through
3.30.6, respectively, for Water Quality
Zones 2 through 6 (tidal main stem and
tidal portions of tributaries). (The
affected sections relating to Water
Quality Zones 1A through 1E were
incorrectly identified as sections 2.20.2
and 2.20.6 in the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking. Sections 2.20.2 through
2.20.6 of the Water Code are part of an
unrelated article; no sections numbered
2.20.2 through 2.20.6 exist in the Water
Quality Regulations.)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Delaware River Basin Commission is a
federal-state regional agency charged with managing the water resources
of the Delaware River Basin without regard to political boundaries. Its
members are the governors of the four basin states--Delaware, New
Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania--and the North Atlantic Division
Commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, representing the federal
government.
Notice of the proposed amendments appeared in the Federal Register
(78 FR 47241) on August 5, 2013 as well as in the Delaware Register of
Regulations (17 DE Reg. 143) on August 1, 2013, the New Jersey Register

the Commission's Web site on August 2, 2013. A public hearing was held
on September 10, 2013 and written comments were accepted through
September 20, 2013.
The uniform water quality criterion of 16 picograms per liter for
polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the Delaware Estuary and Bay for
the protection of human health from carcinogenic effects is the product
of more than a decade of data-gathering, assessment, debate and
consensus-building involving dischargers, regulators, scientists,
policy-makers and other stakeholders from across the region. The
criterion is the product of a rigorous application of the most current
available data and methodology, including site-specific data on fish
consumption, site-specific bioaccumulation factors, and the current
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) methodology for the
development of human health criteria for toxic pollutants (see EPA-822-
B-00-004, October 2000). The criterion will replace the Commission's
current PCB criteria for the Estuary and Bay, which are inconsistent
with the current EPA methodology and pre-date the collection of site-
specific data that are relevant to the development of human health
water quality criteria. The current data also vary by water quality
zone, adding undue complexity to application of the criteria in these
tidal waters.
In addition to proposing the criterion, the Commission's notice of
