This proposed AD would require a further revision of the AFM to specify conditions for minimum fuel weight requirements and procedures for ground transfer of fuel for certain airplanes, repetitive inspections to detect discrepancies of the center tank override/jettison fuel pumps, and replacement of any discrepant pump with a new or serviceable pump. This proposal would also require that any override/jettison pump that incorporates a configuration without a diffuser be restored to a configuration that incorporates a diffuser. This proposed AD would also require installation of a new configuration center tank fuel pump, which would terminate the AFM revisions regarding fuel system operating procedures and repetitive inspection requirements. This proposal is prompted by reports of cracks detected in the override/jettison fuel pump inlet diffuser.

The FPA is a voluntary agreement developed collaboratively by the U.S. EPA, potential sponsors, and interested stakeholders. Project XL, announced in the Federal Register on May 23, 1995 (60 FR 27282), gives regulated entities the flexibility to develop alternative strategies that will replace or modify specific regulatory or procedural requirements on the condition that they produce greater environmental benefits. Through the Labs21 XL Project, EPA is planning to offer laboratories regulatory or policy flexibility through a customized XL review process as a means to enable laboratories to maximize environmental performance under Labs21. Labs21 is a voluntary initiative being developed by EPA to improve laboratory environmental performance through gains in energy and water efficiencies. EPA envisions developing the Labs21 XL project in two stages. The first stage is the completion and signing of the FPA that is the subject of this Federal Register Notice. In signing this FPA, the relevant EPA offices will commit to working internally within the EPA and with laboratories to determine how to harmonize Labs21 and XL application and review processes with the goal of making it possible for EPA to utilize information compiled on facilities under Labs21 as the core data for the XL review. The second stage of the Labs21 XL project will be to develop and issue case-specific agreements for testing innovative ways to maximize environmental performance at laboratories. EPA will negotiate these case-specific agreements through the existing XL process, and the agreements will consequently need to meet XL criteria for sponsors and for the project as a whole. 65 FR 50200 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2000-08-17/00-20969 00-20969 fr17au00-72 6560-50-M FRL-6853-4 http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/granule/FR-2000-08-17/00-20969/content-detail.html http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-08-17/html/00-20969.htm http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-08-17/pdf/00-20969.pdf 1 p. 50200 50200 65 FR 50200 Regulatory Reinvention (XL) Pilot Projects; Federal Register Vol. 65, Issue NOTICE 00-20969 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 2000-08-31 FRL-6853-4 6560-50-M 00-20969 Notice of availability of the Project XL Draft Final Project Agreement for the Labs21 Project.

Several issues have been brought to EPA's attention as a result of recent controversies involving State permitting agencies, utilities, and turbine manufacturers over appropriate best available control technology (BACT) controls for NO<INF>X</INF> at natural gas combined cycle turbines for electric power generation. Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) has been considered BACT for limiting NO<INF>X</INF> emissions on many natural gas combined cycle turbines in attainment areas. These issues have to do with the impact of requiring selective catalytic reduction on dry low NO<INF>X</INF> natural gas combined cycle turbines for electric generation. The BACT is required for new or modified major sources in order to prevent significant deterioration of air quality in attainment areas. The Clean Air Act allows permitting authorities to weigh environmental, energy, and economic concerns against the proven environmental benefits of technologies such as SCR in making BACT determinations in order to determine whether a less effective technology for NO<INF>X</INF> control is warranted in specific cases. In the case of dry low NO<INF>X</INF> natural gas combined cycle turbines, the NO<INF>X</INF> reduction that SCR achieves is sufficiently small that other considerations may become relatively important to consider in determining BACT. The guidance and supporting background information review those considerations. A draft of EPA's guidance is available for public review and comment. The EPA does not intend to respond to individual comments, but rather to consider the comments from the public in the preparation of the final guidance.

It is an instrumentality of the States, providing informational services to State legislators, allowing them to make policy decisions based on reliable, objective and comprehensive analyses. In addition to providing research, publications, and consultative services, NCSL provides policymakers with the opportunity to exchange ideas and communicate with each other on the most pressing problems States face, as well as solutions that work. NCSL plans to accomplish these goals through special briefings, publications, delivering on-site technical assistance, holding special sessions at regular NCSL meetings, and the tracking of State child welfare legislation. Following our review of the proposal submitted by the NCSL for these activities, this award is made noncompetitively. The NCSL proposal presents a unique opportunity to establish a continuing dialogue with State legislatures across the country. 2.

These restrictions strengthen and encompass those initiated last week on BLM lands and are in response to the regions's increasing fire potentials, the current level of fire activity, and the current scarcity of fire suppression resources. The Level 4 fire restrictions apply to BLM lands in: Lincoln, Sanders, Flathead, Lake, Glacier, Toole, Pondera, Teton, east Lewis and Clark, Cascade, Meagher, Broadwater, Jefferson, Beaverhead, Madison, Gallatin, Park, Sweetgrass, Stillwater, and Carbon counties. With Level 4 fire restrictions, the following activities are prohibited on BLM managed lands: Building, maintaining, attending, or using a campfire or any open fire is prohibited (43 CFR 9212.1(h)). Petroleum fueled stoves and lanterns or heating devices are not considered fires, provided such devices meet Fire Underwriters' specifications for safety. Smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building; at an improved place of habitation; at a developed, designated recreation site or campground; or while stopped in an area at least 3 feet in diameter that is cleared of all flammable material, is prohibited (43 CFR 9212.1(h)). Use of chainsaws or other equipment with internal combustion engines for felling, bucking, skidding/wood cutting, road-building, and other high fire risk operations is prohibited. Exceptions are helicopter yarding and earth moving on areas of cleared and bare soil. Sawing incidental to loading operations on cleared landings is not necessarily restricted (43 CFR 9212.1(h)). Welding, blasting (except seismic operations confined by ten or more feet of soil, sand or cuttings), and other activities with a high potential for causing wildland fires are prohibited (43 CFR 9212.1(h)). A patrol is required for a period of one hour following the cessation of all work activity. The patrolperson's responsibilities include checking for compliance with required fire precautions. Possessing or using motorized vehicles such as, but not limited to cars, trucks, trail bikes, motorcycles and all terrain vehicles off of cleared roads is prohibited except for persons engaged in a trade, business or occupation in the area. Cleared roads are defined as roads at least 12' wide and cleared of vegetation shoulder to shoulder (43 CFR 9212.1(h)). These restrictions are in addition to the following area closures which became effective August 5, 2000. Specific closures include: Departure Point Campground at Holter Lake T 14 N, R 3 W, Sec 23, NE\1/ 4\; Sleeping Giant Area including BLM lands along the west shore of Holter Lake from Jackson Peak to the southern boundary across from Mann Gulch and east to I-15; Galena Gulch T6N, R5W, Sec 23, SE\1/4\ and Crow Creek Campgrounds T6N, R1W, Sec 25, N\1/2\; and Spokane Hills including BLM lands on the west side of Canyon Ferry Reservoir from Canyon Ferry Dam south to the White Earth Recreation site and west to Highway 287. Exemptions to the above prohibitions are allowed only for any Federal, State, or local officer, or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force in the performance of an official duty, or persons with a permit or written authorization allowing the otherwise prohibited act or omission. Authority for these prohibitions is pursuant to the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.), Sections 302(b) and 301(a); and Title 43 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 9210 (Fire Management), Subpart 9212 (Wildfire Prevention). These restrictions will become effective at 1 a.m., Mountain Daylight Time, Tuesday, August 15, 2000, and will remain in effect until rescinded or revoked.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing this rule to implement a project under its Project XL (which stands for eXcellence and Leadership) program that would provide regulatory flexibility under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, for the US Filter Recovery Services (USFRS) facility located at 2430 Rose Place, Roseville, Minnesota, 55113 and approved Minnesota generators and transporters of wastes to encourage the use of waste water treatment ion exchange resins.
