Amendment of Class E Airspace; 

Grand Forks, ND 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Final rule, technical 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: This action amends Class E 

airspace within the Grand Forks, ND, 

area by amending the geographic 

coordinates of the Grand Forks 

International Airport ILS Localizer. The 

boundaries and operating requirements 

of the airspace remain the same. 

DATES: Effective date: 0901 UTC, June 9, 

2014. The Director of the Federal 

Register approves this incorporation by 

reference action under 1 CFR Part 51, 

subject to the annual revision of FAA 

Order 7400.9 and publication of 

conforming amendments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Rule 

This action amends Title 14 Code of 

Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 by 

amending the geographic coordinates of 

the Grand Forks International Airport 

ILS Localizer from ‘‘(lat. 47°53′43′′ N., 

long. 97°10′52′′ W.)’’ to ‘‘(lat. 47°57′43′′ 

N., long. 97°10′52′′ W.)’’, to coincide 

with the FAA’s Aeronautical database. 

Since this is an administrative change 

and does not affect the boundaries, 

altitudes, or operating requirements of 

the airspace, I find that notice and 

public procedure under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) 

is impracticable and contrary to the 

public interest. 

The FAA has determined that this 

regulation only involves an established 

body of technical regulations for which 

frequent and routine amendments are 

necessary to keep them operationally 

current. Therefore, this regulation: (1) Is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ 

under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not 

a ‘‘significant rule’’ under DOT 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 

FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) 

does not warrant preparation of a 

regulatory evaluation as the anticipated 

impact is so minimal. Since this is a 

routine matter that only affects air traffic 

procedures and air navigation, it is 

certified that this rule, when 

promulgated, does not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

The FAA’s authority to issue rules 

regarding aviation safety is found in 

Title 49 of the U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the agency’s 

authority. This rulemaking is 

promulgated under the authority 

described in Subtitle VII, Part A, 

Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that 

section, the FAA is charged with 

prescribing regulations to assign the use 

of airspace necessary to ensure the 

safety of aircraft and the efficient use of 

airspace. This regulation is within the 

scope of that authority as it amends 

controlled airspace in the Grand Forks, 

ND area.

SUMMARY: By Resolution No. 2013–8 on 

December 4, 2013, the Delaware River 

Basin Commission (‘‘DRBC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) approved amendments 

to the Commission’s Water Quality 

Regulations, Water Code and 

Comprehensive Plan to establish a 

uniform water quality criterion of 16 

picograms per liter for polychlorinated 

biphenyls (PCBs) in the Delaware 

Estuary and Bay, DRBC Water Quality 

Management Zones 2 through 6, for the 

protection of human health from 

carcinogenic effects. 

DATES: This regulation is effective June 

9, 2014. The incorporation by reference 

of the publications listed in this rule is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register of Regulations as of June 9, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Delaware River Basin Commission is a 

federal-state regional agency charged 

with managing the water resources of 

the Delaware River Basin without regard 

to political boundaries. Its members are 

the governors of the four basin states— 

Delaware, New Jersey, New York and 

Pennsylvania—and the North Atlantic 

Division Commander of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, representing the 

federal government. 

Notice of the proposed amendments 

appeared in the Federal Register (78 FR 

47241) on August 5, 2013 as well as in 

the Delaware Register of Regulations (17 

DE Reg. 143) on August 1, 2013, the 

New Jersey Register (45 N.J.R. 1907) on 

August 5, 2013, the New York State 

Register (page 3) on August 14, 2013 

and the Pennsylvania Bulletin (43 Pa.B. 

4740) on August 17, 2013. Notice of the 

proposed changes also was published 

on the Commission’s Web site on 

August 2, 2013. A public hearing was 

held on September 10, 2013 and written 

comments were accepted through 

September 20, 2013. 

The uniform water quality criterion of 

16 picograms per liter for 

polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in the 

Delaware Estuary and Bay for the 

protection of human health from 

carcinogenic effects is the product of 

more than a decade of data-gathering, 

assessment, debate and consensusbuilding involving dischargers, 

regulators, scientists, policy-makers and 

other stakeholders from across the 

region. The criterion is the product of a 

rigorous application of the most current 

available data and methodology, 

including site-specific data on fish 

consumption, site-specific 

bioaccumulation factors, and the current 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) methodology for the development 

of human health criteria for toxic 

pollutants (see EPA–822–B–00–004, 

October 2000). The criterion will 

replace the Commission’s current PCB 

criteria for the Estuary and Bay, which 

are inconsistent with the current EPA 

methodology and pre-date the collection 

of site-specific data that are relevant to 

the development of human health water 

quality criteria. The current data also 

vary by water quality zone, adding 

undue complexity to application of the 

criteria in these tidal waters. 

In addition to proposing the criterion, 

the Commission’s notice of proposed 

rulemaking in August 2013 invited 

comment on a draft strategy for 

implementing the criterion for both 

point and non-point sources. Developed 

by the DRBC in partnership with the 

environmental agencies of the states of 

Delaware, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, 

EPA regions II and III and EPA 

Headquarters (collectively, ‘‘the coregulators’’), the draft strategy sets forth 

detailed approaches for reducing PCB 

loadings from point and non-point 

sources over the coming decades. A key 

objective of the strategy is to provide 

uniformity and a degree of certainty to 

NPDES permits that will be issued by 

the states bordering the Estuary and 

Bay. Notably, no Commission action on 

the draft implementation strategy was or 

is proposed. As DRBC’s Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking indicated, new 

total maximum daily loads (‘‘Stage 2 

TMDLs’’) for PCBs in the Delaware 

Estuary and Bay will be established by 

EPA on behalf of the Estuary states and 

at their request following publication of 

this Final Rule. The strategy document 

will be included as an Appendix to the 

Stage 2 TMDL report when issued. Until 

Stage 2 TMDLs based upon the new 

criterion are established the coregulators will apply the existing 

NPDES permit approach, which was 

published as an appendix to the 2003 

(Stage 1) TMDLs for PCBs in the 

Delaware Estuary.

2013–8, the Water Code, the

18 CFR Part 410 

Notice of Final Rulemaking; 

Amendments to the Water Quality 

Regulations, Water Code and

Quality Criteria for pH 

AGENCY: Delaware River Basin 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: By Resolution No. 2013–9 on 

December 4, 2013, the Delaware River 

Basin Commission (‘‘DRBC’’ or 

‘‘Commission’’) approved amendments 

to the Commission’s Water Quality 

Regulations, Water Code and 

Comprehensive Plan to update the 

Commission’s stream quality objectives 

for pH in interstate tidal and non-tidal 

reaches of the main stem Delaware 

River. 

DATES: This regulation is effective June 

9, 2014. The incorporation by reference 

of the publications listed in this rule is 

approved by the Director of the Federal 

Register of Regulations as of June 9, 

2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Delaware River Basin Commission is a 

federal-state regional agency charged 

with managing the water resources of 

the Delaware River Basin without regard 

to political boundaries. Its members are 

the governors of the four basin states— 

Delaware, New Jersey, New York and 

Pennsylvania—and the North Atlantic 

Division Commander of the U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers, representing the 

federal government. 

Notice of the proposed amendments 

appeared in the Federal Register (78 FR 

58985) on September 25, 2013 as well 

as in the Delaware Register of 

Regulations (17 DE Reg. 365) on October 

1, 2013, the New Jersey Register (45 

N.J.R. 2201) on October 7, 2013, the 

New York State Register (page 13) on 

October 9, 2013 and the Pennsylvania 

Bulletin (43 Pa.B. 5995) on October 12, 

2013. Notice of the proposed changes 

also was published on the Commission’s 

Web site on September 20, 2013. A 

public hearing was held on October 24, 

2013 and written comments were 

accepted through November 21, 2013. 

No written or oral comments were 

received. 

The Commission’s current criteria for 

pH in interstate streams were adopted in 

1967. Today, these criteria are 

inconsistent with scientists’ increased 

understanding of natural fluctuations in 

freshwater and saltwater pH levels and 

with modern applications of pH criteria. 

The amendments approved by the 

Commission on December 4, 2013 will 

minimize regulatory inconsistencies and 

better address natural pH cycles in the 

main stem Delaware River. First, they 

will increase from 6.0 to 6.5 the lower 

threshold of the range of acceptable pH 

conditions in non-tidal zones of the 

main stem—DRBC Water Quality Zones 

1A through 1E. Second, they will add a 

clause to the pH criteria for all interstate 

tidal and non-tidal water quality zones, 

recognizing natural deviations outside 

the 6.5 to 8.5 pH range. In accordance 

with these changes, the pH criteria for 

Water Quality Zones 1A through IE (the 

non-tidal main stem) and 2 through 6 

(the tidal main stem and tidal portions 

of tributaries) will read, ‘‘Between 6.5 

and 8.5 inclusive, unless outside this 

range due to natural conditions.’’ 

The affected sections of the 

commission’s Water Code and Water 

Quality Regulations consist of 

subsection C.3 of each of sections 3.20.2 

through 3.20.6, respectively, for Water 

Quality Zones 1A through 1E (non-tidal 

main stem); and sections 3.30.2 through 

3.30.6, respectively, for Water Quality 

Zones 2 through 6 (tidal main stem and 

tidal portions of tributaries). (The 

affected sections relating to Water 

Quality Zones 1A through 1E were 

incorrectly identified as sections 2.20.2 

and 2.20.6 in the Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking. Sections 2.20.2 through 

2.20.6 of the Water Code are part of an 

unrelated article; no sections numbered 

2.20.2 through 2.20.6 exist in the Water 

Quality Regulations.)

2013–9, the Water Code, the 

Administrative Manual Part III—Water 

Quality Regulations, a basis and 

background document setting forth the 

technical basis for the amendments, and 

additional documents concerning pH 

criteria for interstate non-tidal and tidal
