8030 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 30 / Friday, February 13, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

and the burners performed as expected. 

This discussion, titled ‘‘Process control 

system overview-multipoint ground 

flare system,’’ is in the docket for this 

action. At this time, we are not 

considering any requirements for 

additional process control or ignition 

testing. However, we believe it would be 

important to require that cameras are 

installed and operated such that 

operators have a visual indication of 

flames from the flare at all times that the 

MPGF is operating and that this footage 

be available for inspection by the 

permitting agency, along with 

operational records of the waste gas 

flowrate, pressure in header and stages, 

pilot and waste gas composition. 

Because these flares are located at 

ground level, it is possible that ambient 

concentrations of pollutants could be 

higher than they would be under an 

alternative scenario where waste gases 

would be flared in an elevated flare, 

enabling greater dispersion and 

potentially lessening the impact to 

neighboring communities. To that end, 

we are soliciting comment on whether 

additional ambient monitoring is 

warranted to provide for immediate 

notification to emergency planning 

officials and the community during 

significant events and malfunctions of 

the system. 

III. AMEL for Pressure-Assisted MPGF 

Considering the above requests from 

both Dow and ExxonMobil, we are 

seeking the public’s input on the 

operating requirements for the proposed 

pressure-assisted MPGFs that would be 

used by both companies which would 

establish an AMEL that will achieve a 

reduction in emissions at least 

equivalent to the reduction in emissions 

being controlled by a steam-assisted, airassisted or non-assisted flare complying 

with the requirements of either 40 CFR 

63.11(b) or 40 CFR 60.18(b). Information 

provided in the AMEL requests and the 

available emissions test data from the 

test reports described above indicate 

that the following list of operating 

requirements for pressure-assisted 

MPGF result in destruction efficiencies 

at least equivalent to destruction 

efficiencies expected from complying 

with the requirements of 40 CFR 

63.11(b) and 40 CFR 60.18(b) for the 

pressure-assisted MPGF being proposed 

for use by both Dow and ExxonMobil: 

1. The flare system must be designed 

and operated such that the net heating 

value of the combustion zone gas 

(NHVcz) for the pressure assisted flare 

burners meets a minimum heating value 

of 800 BTU/scf or a lower flammability 

limit of the combustion zone gas (LFLcz) 

of less than or equal to 6.5 percent by 

volume under all conditions. We would 

expect owners or operators to calculate 

NHVcz and LFLcz in a manner similar to 

those in the currently proposed 

requirements of 79 FR 36980–40 CFR 

63.670(l)–(m). 

2. The flare system must be operated 

with a flame present at all times when 

in use. Each row of flare burners must 

have at least one pilot with a constant 

pilot flame. The pilot flame(s) must be 

continuously monitored by a 

thermocouple. The time, date and 

duration of any loss of pilot flame must 

be recorded. Each monitoring device 

must be maintained or replaced at a 

frequency in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s specifications. 

3. The flare system must be operated 

with no visible emissions except for 

periods not to exceed a total of 5 

minutes during any 2 consecutive 

hours. A video camera can be used in 

order to conduct visible emission 

observations since operating personnel 

cannot enter the fenced area while the 

MPGF is operating. 

4. The operator must install and 

operate an on-line vent gas flow meter 

and an on-line gas chromatograph to 

measure the flow and composition of 

the vent gas to each flare. We would 

expect the operator to comply with 

similar monitoring and testing 

requirements and recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements for these 

monitoring systems as currently 

proposed in 79 FR 36980–40 CFR 

63.670(i)–(j) and (l)–(m). 

5. The operator should install and 

operate pressure and/or flow monitors 

on each stage of the flare. We would 

expect the operator to comply with 

similar applicable monitoring and 

testing requirements and recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements for these 

monitoring systems as currently 

proposed in 79 FR 36980–40 CFR 

63.670(i). 

IV. Request for Comments 

We solicit comments on all aspects of 

these requests for an AMEL. We 

specifically seek comment regarding 

whether or not the potential alternative 

operating requirements listed in section 

III above would be adequate for 

ensuring that the MPGF will achieve 

good combustion at all times and enable 

the facilities to meet their applicable 

emission standards. Additionally, 

several other entities have indicated to 

us that they intend to make similar 

requests for the ability to operate 

pressure-assisted MPGFs. We are also 

soliciting comment on whether the 

requirements listed above, if followed 

by these other entities, could enable 

these other facilities to receive approval 

of their own AMELs. As noted in 

section II.B above, we also solicit 

comment and data on other pressureassisted flare burner types. Commenters 

should include data or specific 

examples in support of their comments.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HHS 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) on Clinical Trials 

Registration and Results Submission in 

the Federal Register on November 21, 

2014 (79 FR 69566). The NPRM 

proposes requirements for submitting 

registration and summary results 

information, including adverse event 

information, for specified clinical trials 

of drugs (including biological products) 

and devices and for pediatric 

postmarket surveillances of a device to 

ClinicalTrials.gov, the clinical trial 

registry and results data bank operated 

by the National Library of Medicine. 

The proposed rule provides for the 

expanded registry and results data bank 

specified in Title VIII of the Food and 

Drug Administration Amendments Act 

of 2007 (FDAAA) to enhance patient 

enrollment, provide a mechanism to 

track subsequent progress of clinical 

trials, provide more complete results 

information, and enhance patient access 

to and understanding of the results of 

clinical trials. The deadline for written 

comments was originally established as 

February 19, 2015. Since the NPRM was 

published, the Department has received 

requests to extend the period for the 

public submission of comments. 

Effective with this notice, we are 

extending the comment period with a 

deadline of 5 p.m. EST on March 23, 

2015. 

NIH published a related request for 

public comments on a draft NIH Policy 

on Dissemination of NIH-Funded 

Clinical Trial Information in the NIH 

Guide for Contracts and Grants (NOT– 

OD–15–019) on November 19, 2014. See 

http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/

notice-files/NOT-OD-15-019.html. The 

draft NIH Policy aims to promote broad 

and responsible dissemination of 

information on clinical trials funded by 

the NIH through registration and 

submission of summary results 

information to ClinicalTrials.gov. The 

original deadline for written comments 

on the draft NIH Policy was February 

19, 2015, but the deadline is also being 

extended until 5 p.m. EST on March 23, 

2015.

47 CFR Parts 25, 73, and 76 

[MB Docket No. 14–127; FCC 14–209] 

Expansion of Online Public File 

Obligations to Cable and Satellite TV 

Operators and Broadcast and Satellite 

Radio Licensees 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission proposes to expand to 

cable operators, satellite TV providers, 

broadcast radio licensees, and satellite 

radio licensees the requirement that 

public inspection files be posted to the 

FCC’s online database. In 2012, the 

Commission adopted online public file 

rules for broadcast television stations 

that required them to post public file 

documents to a central, FCC-hosted 

online database rather than maintaining 

the files locally at their main studios. 

Now that television broadcasters have 

completed their transition to the online 

file, the Commission believes it is 

appropriate to commence the process of 

expanding the online file to other media 

entities to extend the benefits of 

improved public access to public 

inspection files and, ultimately, reduce 

the burden of maintaining these files. 

DATES: Comments may be filed on or 

before March 16, 2015, and reply 

comments may be filed April 14, 2015. 

Written comments on the proposed 

information collection requirements, 

subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) of 1995, Pub. L. 104–13, should 

be submitted on or before April 14, 

2015. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

identified by MB Docket No. 14–127, by 

any of the following methods: 

• Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments. 

• Federal Communications 

Commission’s Web site: http://

fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs2/. Follow the
