Background 

The primary goal of this proposed AC 

revision is to clarify FAA policy, 

facilitate achievement of an ASAP’s 

safety goals, and encourage wider 

participation in the program. The 

objective of an ASAP is to encourage 

employees of certificate holders or other 

operators to voluntarily report safety 

information that may be critical to 

identifying potential precursors to 

accidents. The FAA has determined that 

identifying these precursors is essential 

to further reducing the already low 

accident rate. The ASAP provides for 

the collection, analysis, and retention of 

the safety data that is obtained through 

the reporting process. ASAP 

participants use ASAP safety data, 

much of which would otherwise be 

unobtainable, to develop corrective 

actions for identified safety concerns, 

and to educate the appropriate parties to 

prevent a recurrence of the same type of 

safety event. 

The agency will consider all 

comments received by November 4, 

2014. Comments received after that date 

may be considered if consideration will 

not delay agency action on the review. 

A copy of the advisory circular is 

available for review at http:// 

www.faa.gov/aircraft/draft_docs/afs_ 

ac/.

Notice of Final Action on Petition From 

Sierra Club To Redesignate Newly 

Violating Ozone Areas as 

Nonattainment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Action Denying 

Petition. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is providing 

notice that it has responded to a petition 

from the Sierra Club that requests the 

EPA to redesignate as nonattainment 57 

areas with 2012 design values violating 

the 2008 national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) for ozone. The 

petition also requests that the EPA set 

specific boundaries for the areas. The 

EPA Administrator denied the petition 

in letters to the signatories of the 

petition dated August 14, 2014. The 

letters explain the EPA’s reasons for the 

denial and are available in the 

rulemaking docket. 

DATES: The EPA’s response to this 

petition was signed on August 15, 2014. 

Any petitions for review of the final 

letters denying the petition to 

redesignate 57 areas to nonattainment 

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS must be 

filed in the Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit on or before 

November 4, 2014.

II. Judicial Review 

Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act 

indicates which Federal Courts of 

Appeal have venue for petitions of 

review of final actions by the EPA. This 

section provides, in part, that petitions 

for review must be filed in the Court of 

Appeals for the District of Columbia 

Circuit: (i) when the agency action 

consists of ‘‘nationally applicable 

regulations promulgated, or final actions 

taken, by the Administrator,’’ or (ii) 

when such action is locally or regionally 

applicable, if ‘‘such action is based on 

a determination of nationwide scope or 

effect and if in taking such action the 

Administrator finds and publishes that 

such action is based on such a 

determination.’’ 

The EPA has determined that its 

action denying the petition to 

redesignate 57 areas to nonattainment 

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS is of 

nationwide scope and effect because 

this action addresses areas across the 

country. This is particularly appropriate 

because, in the report on the 1977 

Amendments that revised section 

307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress noted 

that the Administrator’s determination 

that an action is of ‘‘nationwide scope 

or effect’’ would be appropriate for any 

action that has a scope or effect beyond 

a single judicial circuit. H.R. Rep. No. 

95–294 at 323, 324, reprinted in 1977 

U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402–03. Here, the scope 

and effect of this final action extends to 

numerous judicial circuits across the 

country. In these circumstances, section 

307(b)(1) and its legislative history calls 

for the Administrator to find the rule to 

be of ‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ and 

for venue to be in the DC Circuit. 

Thus, any petitions for review of the 

final letters denying the petition to 

redesignate 57 areas to nonattainment 

for the 2008 ozone NAAQS must be 

filed in the Court of Appeals for the 

District of Columbia Circuit on or before 

November 4, 2014. 

Dated: August 15, 2014.

Acting Assistant Administrator, Office of Air 

and Radiation.
