SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NRC 

received a petition for rulemaking dated 

February 18, 2014, submitted by Diane 

Curran, Harmon, Curran, Spielberg & 

Eisenberg, L.L.P., and Mindy Goldstein, 

Turner Environmental Law Clinic, 

Emory Law School, on behalf of 34 

Environmental Organizations (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML14071A382). The 

petition was docketed as PRM–51–31. 

The NRC published a notice of receipt 

of PRM–51–31 in the Federal Register 

on May 1, 2014 (79 FR 24595). On June 

26, 2014, the petitioner submitted to the 

NRC a document characterized as an 

‘‘amended petition’’ for rulemaking 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML14177A660). 

The petitioner requests the NRC to ‘‘add 

to the record of the February 18, 2014 

Petition the observations made by 

Chairman Macfarlane in her dissenting 

comments’’ on the NRC staff document 

designated COMSECY–13–0030—‘‘Staff 

Evaluation and Recommendation for 

Japan Lessons-Learned Tier 3 Issue on 

Expedited Transfer of Spent Fuel.’’ 1

In its February 18, 2014, petition 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML14071A382), 

the petitioner asserted that COMSECY– 

13–0030 constituted new and significant 

information under the National 

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). On 

this basis, the petitioner requested that 

the NRC take the following actions, 

which the petitioner asserts is necessary 

to ensure the NRC’s compliance with 

NEPA: 

• Republish for public comment the 

2013 Revised License Renewal Generic 

Environmental Impact Statement, the 

Environmental Impact Statements for all 

new reactors; and the Environmental 

Assessments for all new certifications of 

standardized reactor designs; 

• Duly modify the NRC’s regulations 

that make or rely on findings regarding 

the environmental impacts of spent fuel 

storage during reactor operation, 

including Table B–1 in subpart A of 

appendix B in part 51 of Title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR) 

and all regulations approving 

standardized reactor designs. 

The NRC does not consider the June 

26, 2014, document to be an amendment 

to the February 18, 2014, petition as the 

petitioner does not request that the NRC 

take any rulemaking actions that were 

not otherwise requested in the February 

18, 2014, petition. Therefore, the NRC 

will consider the June 26, 2014, 

document to be a supplement to PRM– 

51–31, and accordingly, will include it 

in the docket for PRM–51–31 (NRC– 

2014–0055). The NRC is publishing this 

notice for information only and is not 

requesting public comment. 

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 17th day 

of July 2014. 

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM). 

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede 

airworthiness directive (AD) 98–07–07, 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
42990 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 142 / Thursday, July 24, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

which applies to all Rolls-Royce plc 

(RR) RB211–535E4 and RB211–535E4–B 

turbofan engines. AD 98–07–07 requires 

removing certain part number (P/N) 

low-pressure (LP) fuel filter-to-highpressure (HP) fuel pump tube 

assemblies and installing flexible LP 

fuel filter-to-HP fuel pump tube 

assemblies. Since we issued AD 98–07– 

07, we received additional reports of 

fuel leaks that have resulted in a 

number of engine in-flight shutdowns. 

This proposed AD would expand the 

applicability of AD 98–07–07 to include 

the RB211–535E4–C–37 turbofan 

engine. We are proposing this AD to 

prevent loss of fuel supply to the 

engine, which could lead to an in-flight 

shutdown of one or more engines, loss 

of thrust control, and damage to the 

airplane. 

DATES: We must receive comments on 

this proposed AD by September 22, 

2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

using the procedures found in 14 CFR 

11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following

substantive verbal contact we receive 

about this proposed AD. 

Discussion 

On April 2, 1998, we issued AD 98– 

07–07, Amendment 39–10426 (63 FR 

18119, April 14, 1998), for all RR 

RB211–535E4 and RB211–535E4–B 

turbofan engines. AD 98–07–07 

superseded AD 96–13–04 and required 

removing LP fuel system tube 

assemblies, P/N UL16692 and 

AE709623–1, and installing LP fuel 

system tube assembly, P/N 163521538. 

AD 98–07–07 resulted from reports of 

fuel line rupture on one of the flexible 

fuel tube assemblies installed in 

accordance with AD 96–13–04. We 

issued AD 98–07–07 to prevent high 

volume fuel leaks and reported fuel 

collection inside the engine nacelle, 

which could result in an uncontrolled 

engine fire. 

Actions Since AD 98–07–07 Was Issued 

Since we issued AD 98–07–07, 

Amendment 39–10426 (63 FR 18119, 

April 14, 1998), additional fuel leaks 

have occurred in LP fuel system tube 

assemblies resulting in engine in-flight 

shutdowns. Also since we issued AD 

98–07–07, the European Aviation Safety 

Agency has issued AD 2014–0123, dated 

May 15, 2014, which requires replacing 

affected fuel tube assemblies. 

Relevant Service Information 

We reviewed RR Service Bulletin No. 

RB.211–73–H131, with Supplement, 

dated May 10, 2013 and RR NonModification Service Bulletin No. 

RB.211–73–E355, Revision 3, May 10, 

2013. The service information describes 

procedures for removing and installing 

LP fuel system tube assemblies. 

FAA’s Determination 

We are proposing this AD because we 

evaluated all the relevant information 

and determined the unsafe condition 

described previously is likely to exist or 

develop in other products of the same 

type design. 

Proposed AD Requirements 

This proposed AD would require 

removing LP fuel tube assemblies, P/N 

UL16692, AE709623–1, 163521538, and 

163521545 from service. 

Costs of Compliance 

We estimate that this proposed AD 

affects 500 engines installed on 

airplanes of U.S. registry. We also 

estimate that it would take about 7.33 

hours per engine to comply with this 

proposed AD. The average labor rate is 

$85 per hour. Required parts cost about 

$10,000 per engine. Based on these 

figures, we estimate the cost of this 

proposed AD on U.S. operators to be 

$5,311,525. 

Authority for This Rulemaking 

Title 49 of the United States Code 

specifies the FAA’s authority to issue 

rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, 

Section 106, describes the authority of 

the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 

Aviation Programs, describes in more 

detail the scope of the Agency’s 

authority. 

We are issuing this rulemaking under 

the authority described in Subtitle VII, 

Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701, 

‘‘General requirements.’’ Under that 

section, Congress charges the FAA with 

promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in 

air commerce by prescribing regulations 

for practices, methods, and procedures 

the Administrator finds necessary for 

safety in air commerce. This proposed 

regulation is within the scope of that 

authority because it addresses an unsafe 

condition that is likely to exist or 

develop on products identified in this 

rulemaking action. 

Regulatory Findings 

We have determined that this 

proposed AD would not have federalism 


pmangrum on DSK3VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 142 / Thursday, July 24, 2014 / Proposed Rules 42991 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This proposed AD would not 

have a substantial direct effect on the 

States, on the relationship between the 

national Government and the States, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that the proposed regulation: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

the DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 

1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska to the extent that it justifies 

making a regulatory distinction, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Missouri; 2013 Missouri State 

Implementation Plan for the 2008 Lead 

Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to grant full 

approval of Missouri’s attainment 

demonstration State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) for the lead National Ambient 

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

nonattainment area of Herculaneum, 

Missouri submitted on April 18, 2013. 

The applicable standard addressed in 

this action is the lead NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA in 2008. EPA 

believes that the SIP submitted by the 

state satisfies the applicable 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) 

identified in EPA’s 2008 Final Rule and 

will bring the area into attainment of the 

0.15 microgram per cubic meter (ug/m3) 

lead NAAQS in the Herculaneum, 

Missouri area. 

In this action, EPA also proposes 

approval of a revision to the Missouri 

SIP related to the 2007 Consent 

Judgment which was previously 

approved into the Missouri SIP as part 

of an attainment demonstration for the 

1978 lead NAAQS. This revision was 

submitted to EPA on November 21, 

2011.
