Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions
Guidelines for Existing Sources: Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste
Incinerators

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; amendments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 6, 2009, EPA promulgated its response to the remand
of the new source performance standards and emissions guidelines for
hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and satisfied the Clean
Air Act section 129(a)(5) requirement to conduct
a review of the standards every 5 years. This action promulgates
amendments to the new source performance standards and emissions
guidelines, correcting inadvertent drafting errors in the nitrogen
oxides and sulfur dioxide emissions limits for large hospital/medical/
infectious waste incinerators in the new source performance standards,
which did not correspond to our description of our standard-setting
process, correcting erroneous cross-references in the reporting and
recordkeeping requirements in the new source performance standards,
clarifying that compliance with the emission guidelines must be
expeditious if a compliance extension is granted, correcting the
inadvertent omission of delegation of authority provisions in the
emission guidelines, correcting errors in the units' description for
several emissions limits in the emission guidelines and new source
performance standards, and removing extraneous text from the hydrogen
chloride emissions limit for large hospital/medical/infectious waste
incinerators in the emission guidelines.

DATES: This rule is effective as of May 4, 2011.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0534 and Legacy Docket ID Number A-91-61. All

Subject: ENERGY/Efficiency - PR. DOE. Energy Efficiency Program for Certain Commercial and Industrial Equipment: Test Procedures for Automatic Commercial Ice Makers
 
[Federal Register Volume 76, Number 64 (Monday, April 4, 2011)]
[Proposed Rules]
[Pages 18428-18445]

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

10 CFR Part 431

[Docket No. EERE-2010-BT-TP-0036]
RIN 1904-AC38

Energy Efficiency Program for Certain Commercial and Industrial
Equipment: Test Procedures for Automatic Commercial Ice Makers

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to revise its
test procedure for automatic commercial ice makers (ACIM) established
under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. This notice of proposed
rulemaking (NOPR) proposes to update the incorporation by reference of
industry test procedures to the most current published versions. The
current DOE test procedure applies to automatic commercial ice makers
that produce cube type ice. This NOPR proposes to expand coverage of
the test procedure to all batch type and continuous type ice makers
with capacities between 50 and 4,000 pounds of ice per 24 hours. A
batch type ice maker is defined as an ice maker with alternate freezing
and harvesting periods, including machines that produce cube type ice,
tube type ice, and fragmented ice. A continuous type ice maker is
defined as an ice maker that continually freezes and harvests ice at
the same time. Continuous type ice makers primarily produce flake or
nugget ice. DOE also proposes amendments to standardize test results
based on ice quality for continuous type ice makers, clarify the test
methods and reporting requirements for automatic ice makers designed to
be connected to a remote compressor rack, and provide test methods for
modulating capacity ice makers. Furthermore, DOE proposes to
discontinue the use of a clarified energy use equation.
    The test procedure applies to automatic commercial ice makers as
defined in section 136 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Use of any
amended test procedures will be required on the compliance date of any
standards developed in the associated energy conservation standard
rulemaking. This notice announces a public meeting to discuss and
receive comments on the proposed test procedure amendments.

DATES: DOE will hold a public meeting in Washington, DC on April 29,
2011 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Additionally, DOE plans to make the public
meeting available via webinar. See section V, ``Public Participation,''
of this NOPR for webinar registration information, participant
instructions, and information about the capabilities available to
webinar participants.
    DOE will accept comments, data, and other information regarding
this NOPR before or after the public meeting, but no later than June 3,
2011. See section V, ``Public Participation,'' for details.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

10 CFR Part 430

[Docket No. EERE-2011-BT-NOA-0013]

Energy Conservation Program: Data Collection and Comparison With
Forecasted Unit Sales of Five Lamp Types

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Notice of data availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is informing the public of
its collection of shipment data and creation of spreadsheet models to
provide comparisons between actual and benchmark estimate unit sales of
five lamp types (i.e., rough service lamps, vibration service lamps, 3-
way incandescent lamps, 2,601-3,300 lumen general service incandescent
lamps, and shatter-resistant lamps), which are currently exempt from
energy conservation standards. As the actual sales do not exceed the
forecasted estimate by 100 percent for any lamp type (i.e., the
threshold triggering rulemaking for an energy conservation standard for
that lamp type has not been exceeded), DOE has determined that no
regulatory action is necessary at this time. However, DOE will continue
to track sales data for these exempted lamps. Relating to this
activity, DOE has prepared and is making available on its Web site a
spreadsheet showing the comparisons of anticipated versus actual sales,
as well as the model used to generate the original sales estimates. The
spreadsheet is available at: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/residential/five_lamp_types.html.

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test
Procedures for Residential Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.

ACTION: Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) proposes
amendments to those it proposed to the DOE test procedures for
residential central air conditioners and heat pumps released in a June
2010 notice of proposed rulemaking (June 2010 NOPR). The proposed
amendments in this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR)
would change the off-mode laboratory test steps and calculation
algorithm to determine off-mode power consumption for residential
central air conditioners and heat pumps, as well as change the
requirements for selection and metering of the low-voltage transformer
used when testing coil-only residential central air conditioners and
heat pumps. Additionally, the amendments proposed today provide a
method of calculation to determine the energy efficiency ratio (EER)
during cooling mode steady-state tests for use as a regional metric.
Finally, today's notice proposes amendments that would combine the two
seasonal off-mode ratings of P1 and P2 for residential central air
conditioners and heat pumps, as set forth in the June 2010 NOPR, to
yield a single overall rating, PWOFF.

DATES: DOE will accept comments, data, and other information regarding
this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) no later than
May 2, 2011. See section 0, ``Public Participation,'' of this SNOPR for
details.

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Aviation Administration

Public Notice for Waiver of Aeronautical Land-Use Assurance;
Capital Region International Airport, Lansing, MI

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration, DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent of waiver with respect to land.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is considering a
proposal to change a portion of the airport from aeronautical use to
non-aeronautical use and to authorize the sale of the airport property.
The proposal consists of remnants from 8 parcels of land, totaling
approximately 7.33 acres. Current use and present condition is
undeveloped land compatible with local commercial/industrial zoning
classification. The land was acquired under the FAA Project Numbers 3-
26-0055-3906, 3-26-0055-4107, and 3-26-0055-44208. The remnants left
from construction activities during airport development are not usable
to the airport due to shape and size. There are no impacts to the
airport by allowing the airport to dispose of the property, since the
land is no longer needed for aeronautical use. Subject land may provide
good commercial/industrial development opportunities for the community
and are well outside airport perimeter fence limits. Approval does not
constitute a commitment by the FAA to financially assist in the
disposal of the subject airport property nor a determination of
eligibility for grant-in-aid funding from the FAA. The disposition of
proceeds from the sale of the airport property will be in accordance
FAA's Policy and Procedures Concerning the Use of Airport Revenue,
published in the Federal Register on February 16, 1999. In accordance
with section 47107(h) of title 49, United States Code, this notice is
required to be published in the Federal Register 30 days before
modifying the land-use assurance that requires the property to be used
for an aeronautical purpose.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 2, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Documents reflecting this FAA action may be reviewed at the
Detroit Airports District Office.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marlon Pena, Program Manager, Detroit
Airports District Office, Federal Aviation Administration, 11677 South
Wayne Road, Romulus, Michigan 48174. Telephone Number (734) 229-2909
FAX Number (734) 229-2950. Documents reflecting this FAA action may be
reviewed at this same location or at Capital Region International
Airport, Lansing, Michigan.

[EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0097; FRL-8867-7]

Sodium Ferric Ethylenediaminetetraacetate; Exemption From the
Requirement of a Tolerance

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an exemption from the requirement
of a tolerance for residues of sodium ferric
ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) in or on all food commodities when
applied as a molluscicide and used in accordance with good agricultural
practices. W. Neudorff GmbH KG submitted a petition to EPA under the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting an exemption
from the requirement of a tolerance. This regulation eliminates the need to
establish a maximum permissible level for residues of sodium ferric
EDTA under the FFDCA.

DATES: This regulation is effective March 30, 2011. Objections and
requests for hearings must be received on or before May 31, 2011, and
must be filed in accordance with the instructions provided in 40 CFR
part 178 (see also Unit I.C. of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under docket
identification (ID) number EPA-HQ-OPP-2010-0097. All documents in the
docket are listed in the docket index available at http://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
Internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available in the electronic
docket at http://www.regulations.gov, or, if only available in hard

Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive
Emissions; Interim Rule; Stay and Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Interim rule; stay and revisions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is taking an interim action to effectuate and extend a
stay of the final rule entitled ``Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR):
Reconsideration of Inclusion of Fugitive Emissions'' (``Fugitive
Emissions Rule'') published in the Federal Register on December 19,
2008. The Fugitive Emissions Rule under the Federal NSR program
required that fugitive emissions be included in determining whether a
physical or operational change results in a major modification only for
sources in designated industries. EPA issued a stay of the Fugitive
Emissions Rule on March 31, 2010, that was effective for 18 months
through October 3, 2011. This action supersedes the stay and thereby
corrects potential confusion caused by that stay. To effectuate a stay
of the Fugitive Emissions Rule, this action clarifies the stay and the
revisions of specific paragraphs in the NSR regulations that were
affected by the Fugitive Emissions Rule. This action also extends the
stay until EPA completes its reconsideration of the Fugitive Emissions
Rule.

DATES: Effective date: This interim rule is effective March 30, 2011.
    The administrative stay of provisions in 40 CFR 51.165, 51.166,
Appendix S to part 51, and 40 CFR 52.21 published on March 31, 2010 (75
FR 16012) is lifted; and
    The following Code of Federal Regulations sections are stayed
indefinitely: 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(G) and (a)(1)(vi)(C)(3);
51.166(b)(2)(v) and (b)(3)(iii)(d); Appendix S to Part 51, Paragraph
II.A.5(vii); and 52.21(b)(2)(v) and (b)(3)(iii)(c). The EPA will
publish a document in the Federal Register lifting this stay.
    Comment date: Comments must be received on or before April 29,
2011.
