July 1, 2019 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 1 is publishing a Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion of the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) Buoy Depot, the South Weymouth Naval Air Station (NAS) Superfund Site (the Site) (MA2170022022) in Weymouth, Massachusetts, from the National Priorities List (NPL) and requests public comments on this proposed action. The NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 105 of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an appendix of the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). This partial deletion is being published by EPA with the concurrence of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), because EPA has determined that all appropriate response actions at the identified parcel under CERCLA have been completed. However, this partial deletion does not preclude future actions under Superfund. This partial deletion pertains to the USCG Buoy Depot, Operable Unit 10, located at 65 Trotter Road, South Weymouth, Massachusetts. The remaining Operable Units of the South Weymouth NAS will remain on the NPL and are not being considered for deletion as part of this action.

The Coast Guard is establishing a temporary safety zone for certain navigable waters of Corpus Christi Bay, Corpus Christi, TX.

These special conditions are issued for the Dassault Aviation (Dassault) Model Falcon 7X airplane. This airplane will have a novel or unusual design feature when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness standards for transport-category airplanes. This design feature is the installation of large, non- structural glass panels in the passenger compartment. The applicable airworthiness regulations do not contain adequate or appropriate safety standards for this design feature. These special conditions contain the additional safety standards that the Administrator considers necessary to establish a level of safety equivalent to that established by the existing airworthiness standards.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) invites the general public to comment on updated data collection forms for DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate's Project 25 (P25) Compliance Assessment Program (CAP): Supplier's Declaration of Compliance (SDoC) (DHS Form 10044 (6/08)) and an accompanying Summary Test Report (STR) (DHS Form 10056 (9/08)). The collections are posted on the dhs.gov website (https://www.dhs.gov/science-and-technology/p25-cap). The attacks of September 11, 2001, and the destruction of Hurricane Katrina made apparent the need for emergency response radio systems that can interoperate, regardless of which organization manufactured the equipment. Per congressional direction, DHS and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) developed the P25 CAP to improve the emergency response community's confidence in purchasing land mobile radio (LMR) equipment built to P25 LMR standards. Equipment suppliers provide the information to publicly attest to their products' compliance with a specific set of P25 standards. The SDoC, and its STR, which substantiates the declaration, constitutes a company's formal, public attestation of compliance with the standards for the equipment. In turn, first responders at local, tribal, state, and federal levels across multiple disciplines including law enforcement, fire, and emergency medical services personnel, will use this information to identify P25 compliant communications system products. The P25 CAP Program Manager performs a simple administrative review to ensure the documentation is complete and accurate in accordance with the current P25 CAP processes.

The Coast Guard will enforce established safety zones for maritime events starting in July, 2019 to provide for the safety of life on navigable waterways.

The FAA proposes to rule and invites public comment on the application for a land release of 4.09 acres of federally obligated airport property at North Central West Virginia Airport (CKB), Clarksburg, WV, from the conditions, reservations and restrictions contained in Airport Improvement Program grants that restrict the use of said land to aeronautical purposes. This acreage was originally purchased with federal financial assistance through the Airport Improvement Program. The release will allow the airport to generate revenue through the lease of a logistics and storage park that is proposed for construction. The proposed use of land after the release will not interfere with the airport or its operation.

EPA issued a notice in the Federal Register of May 16, 2019, opening a 45-day comment period for a draft revised method for conducting national level threatened and endangered species biological evaluations for pesticides. The May 16, 2019 Notice also announced a June 10, 2019 public meeting for EPA to present the draft revised method and provide an additional opportunity for the public to provide feedback. This document extends the comment period for 45 days, from July 1, 2019 to August 15, 2019. EPA is extending the comment period after receipt and consideration of seven extension requests, to date, citing the following reasons for the requests: The complex and highly technical nature of the revised draft; the need to engage experts familiar with the subject matter; the potential wide-ranging impacts of the revisions and the importance of soliciting feedback from stakeholders who may be affected; and the additional time needed to develop constructive comments. In addition, stakeholders may want to review the recording of the June 10, 2019 public meeting that is now available in the revised method docket (EPA-HQ-OPP-2019-0185). EPA responded to a number of clarifying questions about the draft revised method at that public meeting. Therefore, EPA believes that additional time for the public to consider the clarifying information provided at that meeting will further ensure meaningful stakeholder involvement in this process. This extension will facilitate the submission of high quality, useful comments during the public comment period.

The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden, conducts a pre-clearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This program helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is soliciting comments on the information collection for Cleanup Program for Accumulations of Coal and Float Coal Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other Combustibles.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a final guidance for industry entitled ``Epidermolysis Bullosa: Developing Drugs for Treatment of Cutaneous Manifestations.'' The purpose of this guidance is to assist sponsors with the development of drugs for treatment or prevention of the serious cutaneous manifestations of the heterogeneous group of disorders collectively known as epidermolysis bullosa (EB). This guidance focuses on drug development and trial design issues specific to the treatment of EB, including FDA's current thinking on clinical trial endpoint considerations. There is not yet sufficient clinical trial experience to establish definitive endpoints. This guidance incorporates the comments received for and finalizes the draft guidance of the same name issued on June 18, 2018.

The data derived from these surveys, most of which have been conducted for many years, are not publicly available from nongovernmental or other governmental sources.
