aspiration or bone marrow biopsy, but not
peripheral blood smears alone. Examples of
these disorders are myelodysplastic
syndromes, aplastic anemia,
granulocytopenia, and myelofibrosis.
Acquired disorders of bone marrow failure
may result from viral infections, chemical
exposure, or immunologic disorders.
2. The hospitalizations in 107.10A do not
all have to be for the same complication of
bone marrow failure. They may be for three
different complications of the disorder.
Examples of complications that may result in
hospitalization include uncontrolled
bleeding, anemia, and systemic bacterial,
viral, or fungal infections.
3. For 107.10B, the requirement of life-long
RBC transfusions to maintain life in
myelodysplastic syndromes or aplastic
anemias has the same meaning as it does for
beta thalassemia major. (See 107.00C4.)

F. How do we evaluate bone marrow or stem
cell transplantation under 107.17?
We will consider you to be disabled for 12
months from the date of bone marrow or stem
cell transplantation, or we may consider you
to be disabled for a longer period if you are
experiencing any serious post-transplantation
complications, such as graft-versus-host
(GVH) disease, frequent infections after
immunosuppressive therapy, or significant
deterioration of organ systems. We do not
restrict our determination of the onset of
disability to the date of the transplantation in
107.17. We may establish an earlier onset of
disability due to your transplantation if
evidence in your case record supports such
a finding.
G. How do we consider your symptoms,
including your pain, severe fatigue, and
malaise?
Your symptoms, including pain, severe
fatigue, and malaise, may be important
factors in our determination whether your
hematological disorder meets or medically
equals a listing, or in our determination
whether you otherwise have marked and
severe functional limitations. We cannot
consider your symptoms unless you have
medical signs or laboratory findings showing
the existence of a medically determinable
impairment(s) that could reasonably be
expected to produce the symptoms. If you
have such an impairment(s), we will evaluate
the intensity, persistence, and functional
effects of your symptoms using the rules
throughout 107.00 and in our other
regulations. (See sections 416.928 and
416.929 of this chapter.) Additionally, when
we assess the credibility of your complaints
about your symptoms and their functional
effects, we will not draw any inferences from
the fact that you do not receive treatment or
that you are not following treatment without
considering all of the relevant evidence in
your case record, including any explanations
you provide on why you are not receiving or
following treatment.
H. How do we evaluate episodic events in
hematological disorders?
Some of the listings in this body system
require a specific number of events within a
consecutive 12-month period. (See 107.05,
107.08, and 107.10A.) When we use such
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
criteria, a consecutive 12-month period
means a period of 12 consecutive months, all
or part of which must occur within the
period we are considering in connection with
your application or continuing disability
review. These events must occur at least 30
days apart to ensure that we are evaluating
separate events.
I. How do we evaluate hematological
disorders that do not meet one of these
listings?
1. These listings are only common
examples of hematological disorders that we
consider severe enough to result in marked
and severe functional limitations. If your
disorder does not meet the criteria of any of
these listings, we must consider whether you
have a disorder that satisfies the criteria of
a listing in another body system. For
example, we will evaluate hemophilic joint
deformity under 101.00; polycythemia vera
under 103.00, 104.00, or 111.00; chronic iron
overload resulting from repeated RBC
transfusion (transfusion hemosiderosis)
under 103.00, 104.00, or 105.00; and the
effects of intracranial bleeding or stroke
under 111.00 or 112.00.
2. If you have a severe medically
determinable impairment(s) that does not
meet a listing, we will determine whether
your impairment(s) medically equals a
listing. (See section 416.926 of this chapter.)
Hematological disorders may be associated
with disorders in other body systems, and we
consider the combined effects of multiple
impairments when we determine whether
they medically equal a listing. If your
impairment(s) does not medically equal a
listing, we will also consider whether it
functionally equals the listings. (See section
416.926a of this chapter.) We use the rules
in § 416.994a of this chapter when we decide
whether you continue to be disabled.

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the State of
Alabama’s November 14, 2014, State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision,
submitted through the Alabama
Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM), in support of the
State’s request that EPA change the
Federal Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP)
requirements for Jefferson and Shelby
Counties (hereinafter referred to as the
‘‘Birmingham Area’’ or ‘‘Area’’).
Alabama’s November 14, 2014, SIP
revision evaluates whether changing the
Federal RVP requirements in this Area
would interfere with the Area’s ability
to meet the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act). Specifically,
Alabama’s SIP revision concludes that
relaxing the Federal RVP requirement

from 7.8 pounds per square inch (psi) to
9.0 psi for gasoline sold between June 1
and September 15 of each year in the
Area would not interfere with
attainment or maintenance of the
national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) or with any other CAA
requirement. EPA has determined that
Alabama’s November 14, 2014, SIP
revision is consistent with the CAA.
DATES: This rule will be effective April
17, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What is the background for this final
action?
The Birmingham Area was originally
designated as a 1-hour ozone
nonattainment area by EPA on March 3,
1978 (43 FR 8962). A 7.8 psi Federal
RVP requirement was first applied to
the Area during the high ozone season
given its status as a marginal
nonattainment area for the 1-hour ozone
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700

standard. Subsequently, in order to
comply with the 1-hour ozone NAAQS,
Alabama opted to implement a state
RVP requirement of 7.0 psi for gasoline
sold in the Birmingham Area during the
high ozone season. EPA incorporated
the state RVP requirement of 7.0 psi for
gasoline sold in the Birmingham Area
into the Alabama SIP on November 7,
2001. See 66 FR 56218. The Area
attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS and
was redesignated to attainment for the
1-hour ozone on March 12, 2004, based
on 2001–2003 ambient air quality
monitoring data. See 69 FR 11798.
Alabama’s 1-hour ozone redesignation
request did not include a request to
remove the 7.0 psi state RVP
requirement for the Birmingham Area
from the SIP nor a request to relax the
7.8 psi Federal RVP standard.
On April 30, 2004, EPA designated
and classified areas for the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS that was promulgated on July
18, 1997, as unclassifiable/attainment or
nonattainment for the new 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. See 69 FR 23857. The
Birmingham Area was designated as
nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS with a design value of
0.087 parts per million (ppm). The Area
was redesignated to attainment for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in a final
rulemaking on May 12, 2006. See 71 FR
27631. Alabama’s 1997 8-hour ozone
redesignation request did not include a
request for the removal of the 7.8 psi
Federal RVP standard, nor did it include
a request to change the 7.0 psi state RVP
requirement for the Birmingham Area.
However, to support its request for
redesignation to attainment for the 1997
8-hour ozone NAAQS, Alabama took a
conservative approach and estimated
emissions using a 9.0 psi RVP in its
modeling supporting the State’s
maintenance demonstration.
On March 2, 2012, Alabama
submitted a SIP revision requesting that
EPA remove the State’s 7.0 psi RVP
requirement for the Area from the SIP.
EPA approved Alabama’s March 2,
2012, SIP revision on April 20, 2012.
See 77 FR 23619. In EPA’s final
rulemaking to remove the State RVP
requirement, EPA noted that the action
did not remove the 7.8 psi Federal RVP
requirement for the Birmingham Area.
Effective July 20, 2012, EPA designated
the Birmingham Area as unclassifiable/
attainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. See 77 FR 30088 (April 30,
2012). Although the Birmingham Area is
designated as attainment, the federal 7.8
psi RVP requirement remains in place.
Alabama is now requesting that EPA
remove the federal 7.8 psi RVP
requirement for the Birmingham Area,
and it submitted a SIP revision on
