after the effective date of this AD, whichever 

occurs first: Do a general visual inspection 

for sealant at the interface of the upper spar 

fittings, strut side skins, and the fittings of 

the thrust reverser strut fairing on the engine 

struts, in accordance with the 

Accomplishment Instructions of Boeing 

Special Attention Service Bulletin 737–54–

1040, dated November 14, 2002; or Revision 

1, dated August 14, 2003. 

(1) If the injection seal is found to properly 

seal the entire gap, no further action is 

required by this AD. 

(2) If the injection seal is not found to 

properly seal the entire gap or if the injection 

seal is found to be missing, before further 

flight, apply an injection seal or silicone 

sponge rubber with fillet seal in accordance 

with the Accomplishment Instructions of the 

service bulletin. 

Alternative Methods of Compliance 

(AMOCs) 

(g) The Manager, Seattle Aircraft 

Certification Office (ACO), FAA, has the 

authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if 

requested in accordance with the procedures 

found in 14 CFR 39.19.

Issued in Renton, Washington, on

North Carolina: Final Authorization of 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: North Carolina has applied to 

EPA for Final authorization of the 

changes to its hazardous waste program 

under the Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to 

grant final authorization to North 

Carolina. In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is authorizing the changes 

by an immediate final rule. EPA did not 

make a proposal prior to the immediate 

final rule because we believe this action 

is not controversial and do not expect 

comments that oppose it. We have 

explained the reasons for this 

authorization in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. Unless we get 

written comments which oppose this 

authorization during the comment 

period, the immediate final rule will 

become effective on the date it 

establishes, and we will not take further 

action on this proposal. If we get 

comments that oppose this action, we 

will withdraw the immediate final rule 

and it will not take effect. We will then 

respond to public comments in a later 

final rule based on this proposal. You 

may not have another opportunity for 

comment. If you want to comment on 

this action, you must do so at this time.

DATES: Send your written comments by 

January 13, 2005.

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the 

York County Solid Waste and Refuse 

Authority Superfund Site from the 

National Priorities List (NPL). 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region III is issuing a 

notice of intent to delete the York 

County Solid Waste and Refuse 

Authority Superfund Site (Site) located 

in Hopewell Township, York County, 

Pennsylvania from the National 

Priorities List (NPL) and requests public 

comment on this notice of intent. The 

NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 

105 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, Compensation 

and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as 

amended, is found at appendix B of 40 

CFR part 300 of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 

through the Pennsylvania Department of 

Environmental Protection (PADEP), 

have determined that all appropriate 

response actions under CERCLA, other 

than operation and maintenance and 

five year reviews, have been completed. 

However, this deletion does not 

preclude future actions under 

Superfund. In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of today’s Federal 

Register, we are publishing a direct final 

notice of deletion of the York County 

74468 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 239 / Tuesday, December 14, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

Solid Waste and Refuse Authority 

Superfund Site without prior notice of 

intent to delete because we view this as 

a noncontroversial revision and 

anticipate no adverse comment. We 

have explained our reasons for this 

deletion in the preamble to the direct 

final deletion. If we receive no adverse 

comment(s) on this notice of intent to 

delete or the direct final notice of 

deletion, we will not take further action 

on this notice of intent to delete. If we 

receive adverse comment(s), we will 

withdraw the direct final notice of 

deletion and it will not take effect. We 

will, as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final deletion 

notice based on this notice of intent to 

delete. We will not institute a second 

comment period on this notice of intent 

to delete. Any parties interested on 

commenting must do so at this time. For 

additional information, see the direct 

final notice of deletion which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.

and Plants; Proposed Designation of 

Critical Habitat for Astragalus 

lentiginosus var. coachellae (Coachella 

Valley milk-vetch)

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, 

Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and 

Wildlife Service (Service), propose to 

designate critical habitat for Astragalus 

lentiginosus var. coachellae (Coachella 

Valley milk-vetch) pursuant to the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (Act). We are proposing to 

designate approximately 3,583 acres (ac) 

(1,450 hectares (ha)) of critical habitat in 

three units in Riverside and San 

Bernardino counties, California. Habitat 

essential to the conservation of the 

species in Riverside and San Bernardino 

counties is being excluded from critical 

habitat under section 4(b)(2) of the Act.

DATES: We will accept comments from 

all interested parties until February 14, 

2005. We must receive requests for 

public hearings, in writing, at the 

address shown in the ADDRESSES section 

by January 28, 2005.

ADDRESSES: If you wish to comment, 

you may submit your comments and 

materials concerning this proposal by 

any one of several methods: 

1. You may submit written comments 

and information to Jim Bartel, Field 

Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife 

Service, Carlsbad Fish and Wildlife 

Office, 6010 Hidden Valley Road, 

Carlsbad, California, 92009. 

2. You may hand-deliver written 

comments to our Office, at the address 

given above. 

3. You may send comments by

Office at the address given above (760) 

431–9440).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Field Supervisor, Carlsbad Fish and 

Wildlife Office (see ADDRESSES section).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Public Comments Solicited 

We intend that any final action 

resulting from this proposal will be as 

accurate and as effective as possible. 

Therefore, comments or suggestions 

from the public, other concerned 

governmental agencies, the scientific 

community, industry, or any other 

interested party concerning this 

proposed rule are hereby solicited. In 

particular, we are seeking comments 

concerning: 

(1) The reasons any habitat should or 

should not be determined to be critical 

habitat as provided by section 4 of the 

Act, including whether the benefit of 

designation will outweigh any threats to 

the species due to designation; 

(2) Specific information on the 

amount and distribution of habitat, and 

what habitat is essential to the 

conservation of the species and why; 

(3) Whether unoccupied habitat 

identified as such and which serves as 

a source of sand for the areas proposed 

as critical habitat should be included in 

the designation; 

(4) Land use designations and current 

or planned activities in the subject areas 

and their possible impacts on proposed 

critical habitat; 

(5) Any foreseeable economic, 

national security, or other potential 

impacts resulting from the proposed 

designation and, in particular, any 

impacts on small entities; 

(6) Whether our approach to 

designating critical habitat could be 

improved or modified in any way to 

provide for greater public participation 

and understanding, or to assist us in 

accommodating public concerns and 

comments;

(7) The exclusion of Federal lands 

(e.g., Bureau of Land Management and 

the U.S. Forest Service) from critical 

habitat based on their participation in 

and contribution to the conservation of 

Astragalus lentiginosus var. coachellae

under the proposed Coachella Valley 

Multiple Species Habitat Conservation 

Plan. 

If you wish to comment, you may 

submit your comments and materials
