Modification of Class D and E Airspace, Removal of Class E Airspace; Aguadilla, PR
This action modifies Class D Airspace, modifies Class E airspace designated as an extension to Class D surface area and removes Class E airspace designated as surface area for an airport at Aguadilla, PR. The Rafael Hernandez Airport Air Traffic Control Tower will now operate on a full-time basis, thus the associated controlled airspace is being modified and removed to reflect the change. This action enhances the National Airspace System by providing controlled airspace in the vicinity of Aguadilla, PR.
Proposed Establishment of Class E Airspace; Kona, HI
This action proposes to establish Class E airspace at Kona International Airport at Keahole, Kona, HI. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate aircraft utilizing the Kona International Airport at Keahole when the Air Traffic Control Tower is non operational. The FAA is proposing this action to enhance the safety and management of aircraft operations at Kona International Airport at Keahole, Kona, HI.
Proposed Amendment of Class E Airspace; Waverly, OH
This action proposes to amend Class E airspace at Waverly, OH. Additional controlled airspace is necessary to accommodate new Standard Instrument Approach Procedures (SIAPs) at Pike County Airport, Waverly, OH, and would update the geographic coordinates for the airport.

Hazardous Waste Management System; Identification and Listing of Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is granting a petition submitted by Bayer Material Science in Baytown, Texas to exclude (or delist) the toluene diisocyanate (TDI) residues generated from its facility located in Baytown, Texas from the lists of hazardous wastes. This final rule responds to the petition submitted by Bayer Material Science to delist K027 TDI residues generated from the facility's distillation units. After careful analysis and use of the Delisting Risk Assessment Software (DRAS), EPA has concluded the petitioned waste is not hazardous waste. This exclusion applies to 9,780 cubic yards per year of the K027 residues. Accordingly, this final rule excludes the petitioned waste from the requirements of hazardous waste regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) when it is disposed in a Subtitle D Landfill.

Seaway Regulations and Rules: Periodic Update, Various Categories
The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under international agreement, jointly publish and presently administer the St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations and Rules (Practices and Procedures in Canada) in their respective jurisdictions. Under agreement with the SLSMC, the SLSDC is amending the joint regulations by updating the Seaway Regulations and Rules in various categories. The proposed changes will update the following sections of the Regulations and Rules: Condition of Vessels; Seaway Navigation, Toll Assessment and Payment; Information and Reports; and Navigation Closing Procedures. These proposed amendments are necessary to take account of updated procedures and will enhance the safety of transits through the Seaway. Several of the proposed amendments are merely editorial or for clarification of existing requirements.
Tariff of Tolls
The Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation (SLSDC) and the St. Lawrence Seaway Management Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under international agreement, jointly publish and presently administer the St. Lawrence Seaway Tariff of Tolls in their respective jurisdictions. The Tariff sets forth the level of tolls assessed on all commodities and vessels transiting the facilities operated by the SLSDC and the SLSMC. The SLSDC is revising its regulations to reflect the fees and charges levied by the SLSMC in Canada. The Tariff of Tolls became effective in Canada in 2008. For consistency, because these are, under international agreement, joint regulations, and to avoid confusion among users of the Seaway, the SLSDC finds that there is good cause to make this U.S. version of the amendments effective upon publication. (See Supplementary Information.)
