The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Grain Elevators (EPA ICR Number 1130.13, OMB Control Number 2060-0082), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved November 30, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on April 8, 2022 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to correct the erroneous incorporation of several rules and related definitions into the Florida State Implementation Plan (SIP). The rules being proposed for removal from the SIP, which are identified by Florida in letters to EPA dated March 16, 2021, and July 2, 2021, regulate odor, fluoride, and total reduced sulfur (TRS) emissions. EPA is proposing to remove these rules and definitions from the Florida SIP because they are not related to implementation, maintenance, or enforcement of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) or otherwise required to be included in the SIP.

This temporary rule amends the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) regulations to implement certain changes made to the Internal Revenue Code by the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2020 (Tax Relief Act), which amended the Craft Beverage Modernization Act (CBMA) provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The Tax Relief Act transfers responsibility for administering CBMA provisions regarding reduced tax rates and tax credits on imported alcohol from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to the U.S. Department of the Treasury, effective January 1, 2023. Beginning on that date, importers will pay the full tax rate at entry and subsequently submit refund claims to TTB to receive the lower rates. This rule establishes procedures for industry members to take advantage of reduced tax rates and tax credits that may be applied to specified limits of imported alcohol products that are entered for consumption in the United States beginning on January 1, 2023. These regulations establish the procedures by which foreign producers may assign the reduced tax rates and tax credits to importers and the procedures by which such importers may receive the assignments and submit refund claims to TTB. TTB is soliciting comments from all interested parties on these amendments through a notice of proposed rulemaking published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register.

Additionally, the rule implements SBA's statutory and regulatory changes that eliminated SBA approval of joint venture agreements for competitive 8(a) awards.

In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission or FCC) adopts several rule updates to otherwise outdated rules for low power television and TV translator stations following the July 13, 2021, transition from analog to digital operations. This final rule deletes or revises rules that no longer have any practical effect given the completion of the low power television (LPTV)/translator digital transition, or that are otherwise obsolete or irrelevant. In addition, this final rule makes certain ministerial changes, for example, to delete analog rules, and to add definitions and other information previously adopted in rulemaking proceedings but inadvertently omitted from the rules.

FMCSA announces its decision to grant an exemption from the commercial driver's license (CDL) requirements to Navistar, Inc. (Navistar) for a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) driver, Mr. Anders Bj[ouml]rkman, employed as an engineer by Navistar's business partner Scania AB (Scania).
