May 20, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to make the determination that the Warren County Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) Nonattainment Area has attained the 1971 SO2 primary and secondary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This action does not constitute a redesignation to attainment. The Warren County Nonattainment Area will remain nonattainment for the 1971 primary and secondary NAAQS until EPA determines that the Area meets the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for redesignation to attainment, including an approved maintenance plan. If the EPA finalizes this rule, certain attainment planning requirements will be suspended for so long as the area remains in attainment of the NAAQS. This action is being taken under the CAA.

This document contains proposed regulations that provide rules regarding the attribution of ownership of stock or other interests for purposes of determining whether a person is a related person with respect to a controlled foreign corporation (CFC) under section 954(d)(3). In addition, the proposed regulations provide rules for determining whether a CFC is considered to derive rents in the active conduct of a trade or business for purposes of computing foreign personal holding company income (FPHCI). The regulations would affect United States persons with direct or indirect ownership interests in certain foreign corporations.

NMFS is adjusting the Atlantic bluefin tuna (BFT) General category daily retention limit from the default limit of one large medium or giant BFT to three large medium or giant BFT for June 1 through August 31, 2019. This action is based on consideration of the regulatory determination criteria regarding inseason adjustments and applies to Atlantic Tunas General category (commercial) permitted vessels and Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Charter/Headboat category permitted vessels with a commercial sale endorsement when fishing commercially for BFT.

The Coast Guard will enforce the safety zone regulations for the Tacoma Freedom Fair Air Show on Commencement Bay from noon until 4 p.m. on both July 3, 2019 and July 4, 2019. This action is necessary to ensure the safety of the public from inherent dangers associated with these annual aerial displays. During the enforcement period, no person or vessel may enter or transit this safety zone unless authorized by the Captain of the Port or her designated representative.

In this document, the International Bureau, the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau, and the Office of Engineering and Technology announce the deadline and other details for filing the certifications and information required by the Commission's, Order and Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Order), FCC 18-91. This document is consistent with the Order, which stated that the Commission would publish a document in the Federal Register announcing the deadline and other details for filing the certifications and information required by the Order.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is announcing the availability of a draft guidance for industry entitled ``The Use of an Alternate Name for Potassium Chloride in Food Labeling.'' The draft guidance, when finalized, will explain our intent to exercise enforcement discretion for the declaration of the name ``potassium chloride salt,'' as an alternative to ``potassium chloride,'' in the ingredient statement on the labels of foods that contain potassium chloride as an ingredient.

This action removes Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Morgan City, LA. This action due to the cancellation of the standard instrument approach procedures at the heliport making the airspace no longer necessary.

The Coast Guard establishes two security zones. One of the zones is a temporary fixed security zone for the receiving facility's mooring basin while the Liquefied Natural Gas Carrier (LNGC) CADIZ KNUTSEN is moored at the facility. The other zone is a moving security zone encompassing all navigable waters within a 500-yard radius around the LNGC CADIZ KNUTSEN while the vessel transits with cargo in the La Quinta Channel and Corpus Christi Ship Channel in Corpus Christi, TX. The security zones are needed to protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment from potential hazards created by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) cargo aboard the vessel. Entry of vessels or persons into these zones is prohibited unless specifically authorized by the Captain of the Port Sector Corpus Christi.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina through a letter dated July 25, 2018, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Air Quality (DAQ), primarily for the purpose of revising the model year coverage for vehicles in the 22 counties subject to North Carolina's expanded inspection and maintenance (I/M) program, which was previously approved into the SIP, in part, for use as a component of the State's Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Budget and Allowance Trading Program. The SIP revision also includes a demonstration that the requested revision to the vehicle model year coverage will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) or with any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). In addition, North Carolina's July 25, 2018, SIP revision updates the State's maintenance plan and the associated motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) used for transportation conformity, for the North Carolina portion of the Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC 2008 8-hour ozone nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Charlotte 2008 Ozone Maintenance Area'') to reflect the requested change in the vehicle model year coverage for the expanded I/M program. EPA has evaluated whether this SIP revision would interfere with the requirements of the CAA, including EPA regulations related to statewide NOX emissions budgets. EPA is proposing to determine that North Carolina's July 25, 2018, SIP revision is consistent with the applicable provisions of the CAA.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted under cover letters dated December 21, 2016, and August 25, 2017, by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Energy and Environment Cabinet (Cabinet). The proposed SIP revisions were submitted by the Cabinet on behalf of the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (LMAPCD or District) and make amendments to Jefferson County's regulations regarding definitions and the federally enforceable district origin operating permit (FEDOOP) program. EPA is proposing to approve the revisions modifying these regulations pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2018-17-01 for Bell Model 212, 412, 412CF, and 412EP helicopters. AD 2018-17-01 required replacing certain oil and fuel check valves and prohibited installing these valves on any helicopter. This AD retains the requirements of AD 2018-17-01 but expands those requirements for all model helicopters. This AD was prompted by the discovery that we omitted a helicopter model from one of the required actions. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Bell Helicopter Textron Canada Limited (Bell) Model 206A, 206B, 206L, 206L- 1, 206L-3, 206L-4, and 407 helicopters. This AD requires inspecting and cleaning the oil supply restrictor (restrictor) to the freewheel assembly. This AD was prompted by reports of a blocked oil line restrictor in the freewheel lubrication system. The actions of this AD are intended to address an unsafe condition on these products.

The control of hazardous energy is regulated under OSHA's control of hazardous energy (Lockout/Tagout) standard. The standard's purpose is to protect workers from the dangers of hazardous energy. This RFI seeks information regarding two areas where modernizing the Lockout/Tagout standard might better promote worker safety without additional burdens to employers: control circuit type devices and robotics. OSHA's Lockout/Tagout standard currently requires that all sources of energy, including energy stored in the machine itself, be controlled during servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment using an energy-isolating device (EID). Control circuit type devices are specifically excluded from OSHA's definition of an EID and are thus not a compliant method of controlling hazardous energy during service and maintenance activities. But technological advances since the standard was issued in 1989 suggest that, at least in some circumstances, control circuit type devices may be at least as safe as EIDs. OSHA requests information, data, and comments that would assist the agency in determining under what conditions control circuit type devices could safely be used for the control of hazardous energy. OSHA may also consider changes to the Lockout/Tagout standard that address hazardous energy control for new robotics technologies. Employers are increasingly using robots and robotic components in their workplaces. OSHA would like to know more about what hazards and benefits this presents with respect to control of hazardous energy, safeguards that can be used, increased efficiencies that result, and any other information related to ensuring employee safety in interfacing with robots. OSHA will use the information received in response to this RFI to determine what action, if any, it may take to reduce regulatory burdens while maintaining worker safety.

We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain International Aero Engines AG (IAE) V2500 model turbofan engines. This proposed AD was prompted by an inspection that determined that material anomalies exist in certain low-pressure turbine (LPT) stage 6 disks. This proposed AD would require removal from service of the affected LPT stage 6 disks and their replacement with a part eligible for installation. We are proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

This action proposes to remove Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Meyers-Divers' Airport and Tecumseh Products Airport, Tecumseh, MI. The FAA is proposing this action due to the cancellation of the instrument procedures; and the airspace is no longer required.

This action modifies Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at Denison Municipal Airport, Denison, IA. This action is due to the decommissioning of the Denison non- directional radio beacon (NDB). Additionally, the geographic coordinates are being updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to deny a Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) petition submitted by the state of New York on March 12, 2018. The petition requests that the EPA make a finding that emissions from a group of hundreds of identified sources in nine states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia) significantly contribute to nonattainment and interfere with maintenance of the 2008 and 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) in Chautauqua County and the New York Metropolitan Area (NYMA) in violation of the good neighbor provision. The EPA proposes to deny the petition because New York has not met its statutory burden to demonstrate, and the EPA has not independently found, that the group of identified sources emits or would emit in violation of the good neighbor provision for the 2008 or 2015 ozone NAAQS in Chautauqua County and the NYMA.
