Download as PDF 70928 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 227 / Monday, November 24, 2008 / Proposed Rules sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS limitation that specifies the maximum allowable number of start-stop stress cycles for the fan blade retention system. The life evaluation shall include the combined effects of high cycle and low cycle fatigue. If the operating limitation is less than 100,000 cycles, that limitation must be specified in Chapter 05 of the Engine Manual Airworthiness Limitation Section. The fan blade retention system includes the portion of the fan blade from the inner annulus flow path line inward to the blade dovetail, the blade retention components, and the fan disk and fan blade attachment features. (e) Substantiate that, during the service life of the engine, the total probability of the occurrence of a hazardous engine effect defined in § 33.75 due to an individual blade retention system failure resulting from all possible causes will be extremely improbable, with a cumulative calculated probability of failure of less than 10 per engine flight hour. (f) Substantiate by test or analysis acceptable to the Administrator that not only will the engine continue to meet the requirements of 33.75 following a lightning strike on the composite fan blade structure, but the lightning strike will also not cause damage to the fan blades that would prevent continued safe operation of the affected engine. (g) Account for the effects of inservice deterioration, manufacturing variations, minimum material properties, and environmental effects during the tests and analyses required by paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) of these special conditions. (h) Propose fleet leader monitoring and field sampling programs for the GEnx–2B engine fan blades that will monitor the effects of usage on fan blade and retention system integrity. The sampling program should use the experience gained on current GE90 and GEnx–1B engine model series monitoring programs, and must be approved by the FAA prior to certification of the GEnx–2B engine models.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Tennessee on October 12, 2007. The revision pertains to the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP and includes changes to Knox County Air Quality Management Regulation (Knox County Regulation) Section 25.10— Permit by Rule. Specifically, Section 25.10 was changed so that it clearly states that turbines and other internal combustion engines are excluded from the ‘‘Permit by Rule’’ provision. This revision is considered by the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC), to be as or more stringent than the State of Tennessee’s SIP requirements. This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule E:\FR\FM\24NOP1.SGM 24NOP1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Proposed Rule

    HUD published a proposed rule on August 21, 2008 (73 FR 49544) that 
submitted, for a 60-day public comment period, a comprehensive revision 
to the PHAS regulations. This proposed rule, entitled ``Changes to the 
Public Housing Assessment System and Determining and Remedying 
Substantial Default'' also proposed, among other things, revisions to 
the PHAS scoring system. The comment period for the proposed rule 
closed on October 20, by which time approximately 55 comments had been 
submitted by members of the public.

[[Page 70929]]

    As part of reopening the public comment period, HUD will be making 
available a scoring template that will enable PHAs and other interested 
members of the public to enter information to generate estimated scores 
under the proposed rule. The purpose of the scoring template is to 
facilitate understanding of the PHAS scoring system that HUD proposed 
in its August 21, 2008, proposed rule. The scoring template reflects 
how scoring would work if the proposed system were adopted at the final 
rule stage. The template allows the public to enter information to 
generate estimated scores under the proposed rule. The scoring template 
is posted on the Office of Public and Indian Housing's Web site at 
https://www.hud.gov/offices/ph/am/index.cfm.
    This tool was not available during the initial public comment 
period. Given the public interest in this rule, and the availability of 
this new information, HUD is reopening the public comment period. HUD 
hopes that this template helps clarify the proposed scoring system, and 
welcomes additional comments on the scoring system during the reopened 
public comment period. Accordingly, this notice reopens the public 
comment period for the PHAS proposed rule, published on August 21, 
2008, for an additional 45-day period.
