| 2013-30845 | Definitions and Reporting Requirements for Shareholders of Passive Foreign Investment Companies | Proposed Rule | In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) are issuing temporary regulations that provide guidance on determining the ownership of a passive foreign investment company (PFIC), the annual filing requirements for shareholders of PFICs, and an exclusion from certain filing requirement for shareholders that constructively own interests in certain foreign corporations. The temporary regulations primarily affect shareholders of PFICs that do not currently file Form 8621, "Information Return by a Shareholder of a Passive Foreign Investment Company or Qualified Electing Fund", with respect to their PFIC interests. The temporary regulations also affect certain shareholders that rely on a constructive ownership exception to the requirement to file Form 5471, "Information Return of U.S. Persons with Respect to Certain Foreign Corporations." The text of those temporary regulations published in this issue of the Federal Register also serves as the text of these proposed regulations. | 2013-12-31 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/31/2013-30845/definitions-and-reporting-requirements-for-shareholders-of-passive-foreign-investment-companies | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-31/pdf/2013-30845.pdf | Treasury Department; Internal Revenue Service | 497,254 | In the Rules and Regulations section of this issue of the Federal Register, the IRS and the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Department) are issuing temporary regulations that provide guidance on determining the ownership of a passive foreign... |
| 2013-31125 | Vermont: Proposed Authorization of State Hazardous Waste Management Program Revisions | Proposed Rule | EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the State of Vermont for changes to its hazardous waste program. In the "Rules and Regulations" section of this Federal Register we are authorizing the changes to the Vermont hazardous waste program under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) as a direct final rule without prior proposed rule. EPA has determined that these changes satisfy all requirements needed to qualify for final authorization. If we receive no adverse comment, we will not take further action on this proposed rule. | 2013-12-31 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/31/2013-31125/vermont-proposed-authorization-of-state-hazardous-waste-management-program-revisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-31/pdf/2013-31125.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA proposes to grant final authorization to the State of Vermont for changes to its hazardous waste program.

| 2013-31144 | Importation of Fresh Blueberry Fruit From Morocco Into the Continental United States | Proposed Rule | We are proposing to amend the regulations concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of fresh blueberry fruit from Morocco into the continental United States. As a condition of entry, the blueberries would have to be produced under a systems approach employing a combination of mitigation measures for two quarantine pests, Ceratitis capitata and Monilinia fructigena, and would have to be inspected prior to exportation from Morocco and found free of these pests. The blueberries would have to be imported in commercial consignments only and would have to be treated with one of two approved postharvest treatments to mitigate the risk of C. capitata. The blueberries would also have to be accompanied by a phytosanitary certificate with an additional declaration stating that the conditions for importation have been met. This action would allow the importation of blueberries from Morocco while continuing to protect against the introduction of plant pests into the United States. | 2013-12-31 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/31/2013-31144/importation-of-fresh-blueberry-fruit-from-morocco-into-the-continental-united-states | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-31/pdf/2013-31144.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are proposing to amend the regulations concerning the importation of fruits and vegetables to allow the importation of fresh blueberry fruit from Morocco into the continental United States.

| 2013-31146 | Restructuring of Regulations on the Importation of Plants for Planting | Proposed Rule | We are reopening the comment period for our proposed rule that would restructure the regulations governing the importation of plants for planting. We are requesting comments on our proposed framework for integrated pest risk management measures for plants for planting. We are especially interested in: The differences commenters perceive between International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 36 and the North American Plant Protection Organization's Regional Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 24, and reasons to prefer one over the other as a basis for such measures; and how to address the risk posed when plant brokers purchase and move plants for planting after they leave their place of production and before they are exported to the United States. This action will allow interested persons additional time to prepare and submit comments on these topics. | 2013-12-31 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/31/2013-31146/restructuring-of-regulations-on-the-importation-of-plants-for-planting | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-31/pdf/2013-31146.pdf | Agriculture Department; Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service | 12,22 | We are reopening the comment period for our proposed rule that would restructure the regulations governing the importation of plants for planting.

| 2013-30894 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Washington; Regional Haze State Implementation Plan; Federal Implementation Plan for Best Available Retrofit Technology for Alcoa Wenatchee | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially disapprove a Washington Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (RH SIP) element submitted by the State of Washington (the State) on December 22, 2010, that exempted Alcoa's Wenatchee Works aluminum smelting facility (Alcoa Wenatchee facility or Wenatchee facility), located near Wenatchee, Washington, from the Clean Air Act's Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements. On December 26, 2012, the EPA proposed to approve, along with proposed action on other SIP elements, the State's determination that the Alcoa Wenatchee facility is exempt from BART requirements. The EPA received adverse comments regarding the dispersion modeling used for this determination. After further review, the EPA now proposes to disapprove the State's determination that the facility is not subject to BART and proposes to find that the Wenatchee facility is subject to BART. The EPA is also proposing a BART determination for the facility through a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). This Federal Register document also announces the availability of new information regarding Alcoa's ability to afford limestone slurry forced oxidation (LSFO) sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) control technology at the Intalco Aluminum Corporation facility in Ferndale, Washington (Intalco). Also available for public review is new air quality dispersion modeling regarding the visibility improvement assessment for the BART Alternative for the Tesoro Refining and Marketing refinery in Anacortes, Washington (Tesoro). | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-30894/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-state-of-washington-regional-haze-state | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-30894.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially disapprove a Washington Regional Haze State Implementation Plan (RH SIP) element submitted by the State of Washington (the State) on December 22, 2010, that exempted Alcoa's Wenatchee... |

| 2013-31046 | Hazardous Materials: Adoption of ASME Code Section XII and the National Board Inspection Code | Proposed Rule | PHMSA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to the design, construction, certification, recertification and maintenance of cargo tank motor vehicles, cryogenic portable tanks and multi-unit tank car tanks (ton tanks) in response to petitions for rulemaking from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors (National Board), and the Pressure Vessel Manufacturers Association (PVMA). Specifically, this NPRM proposes to allow the use of the 2013 edition of the ASME's Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XII (Section XII) for the design, construction, and certification of cargo tank motor vehicles, cryogenic portable tanks and ton tanks. PHMSA also proposes to authorize the use of the 2013 edition of the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors' National Board Inspection Code (NBIC), as it applies to the continuing qualification and maintenance of ASME constructed cargo tank motor vehicles, cryogenic portable tanks, and ton tanks constructed to standards in ASME's Section XII, and existing cargo tank motor vehicles and portable tanks constructed to Section VIII, Division 1. If adopted, these amendments will allow for regulatory flexibility, without compromising safety. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31046/hazardous-materials-adoption-of-asme-code-section-xii-and-the-national-board-inspection-code | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31046.pdf | Transportation Department; Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration | 492,408 | PHMSA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to the design, construction, certification, recertification and maintenance of cargo tank motor vehicles, cryogenic portable tanks and multi-unit tank car tanks (ton tanks) in... |
| 2013-31107 | Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Texas; Stage II Vapor Recovery Program and Control of Air Pollution From Volatile Organic Compounds | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to regulations that control emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at gasoline dispensing facilities (GDFs) in Texas. The revisions address the maintenance and removal of Stage II vapor recovery equipment at GDFs. The EPA is also proposing to approve related revisions to the Stage II SIP narrative that pertain to the maintenance and removal of Stage II vapor recovery equipment and demonstrate that the absence of Stage II equipment in the Beaumont-Port Arthur (BPA), Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Houston- Galveston Brazoria (HGB) areas, and in El Paso County would not interfere with attainment of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone, reasonable further progress (RFP) or any other requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). The EPA is proposing to approve these revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Act and the EPA's regulations and consistent with the EPA's guidance. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31107/approval-and-promulgation-of-air-quality-implementation-plans-texas-stage-ii-vapor-recovery-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31107.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).

| 2013-31185 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model CL-600-1A11 (CL- 600), CL-600-2A12 (CL-601), and CL-600-2B16 (CL-601-3A, CL-601-3R, and CL-604 Variants) airplanes. The existing AD currently requires operators to assign serial numbers or part numbers to certain landing gear parts; and to establish the number of landings on the parts, if necessary. The existing AD also requires operators to revise the Airworthiness Limitations Section (ALS) of the Instructions for Continued Airworthiness (ICA) to reflect the new life limits of the landing gear parts. Since we issued that AD, additional landing gear parts have been identified that need serialization. This proposed AD would add airplanes to the applicability; require operators to assign serial numbers or part numbers to certain additional landing gear parts, to establish the number of landings on the parts, if necessary; and record in all required airplane technical records and manuals the new part numbers, serial numbers, and landings assigned to these parts. We are proposing this AD to prevent life-limited landing gear parts from being used beyond their safe-life limits, which could lead to collapse of the landing gear. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31185/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31185.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede an existing airworthiness directive (AD) that applies to certain Bombardier, Inc.

| 2013-31186 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-12- 12, for certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes. AD 2000-12-12 currently requires inspecting to detect cracks in the lower spar axis of the nacelle pylon between ribs 9 and 10, and repair if necessary. AD 2000-12-12 also provides for optional modification of the pylon, which terminates the inspections for Model A300 series airplanes. Since we issued AD 2000-12-12, we have received reports of cracking of the lower pylon spar after accomplishing the existing modification and have determined that shorter initial and repetitive inspection compliance times are necessary to address the identified unsafe condition. This proposed AD would reduce the initial and repetitive inspection compliance times. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the lower spar of the nacelle pylon. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31186/airworthiness-directives-airbus-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31186.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2000-12- 12, for certain Airbus Model A300, A300-600, and A310 series airplanes.

| 2013-31188 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by reports of missing clamps that are required to provide positive separation between the alternating current (AC) feeder cables and the hydraulic line of the landing gear alternate extension. This proposed AD would require inspecting for missing clamps, and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct chafing of the AC feeder cable. A chafed and arcing AC feeder cable could puncture the adjacent hydraulic line, which, in combination with the use of the alternate extension system, could result in an in-flight fire. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31188/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31188.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Bombardier, Inc.

| 2013-31195 | Western Pacific Pelagic Fisheries; Catch and Effort Limits for the U.S. Participating Territories | Proposed Rule | NMFS announces that the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council proposes to amend the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region. If approved, Amendment 7 would establish a management framework and process for specifying fishing catch and effort limits and accountability measures for pelagic fisheries in the U.S. Pacific territories (American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands). The framework would authorize the government of each territory to allocate a portion of its specified catch or effort limit to a U.S. fishing vessel or vessels through a specified fishing agreement, and establish criteria, which a specified fishing agreement must satisfy. The framework also includes measures to ensure accountability for adhering to fishing catch and effort limits. | 2013-12-30 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/30/2013-31195/western-pacific-pelagic-fisheries-catch-and-effort-limits-for-the-us-participating-territories | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-30/pdf/2013-31195.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS announces that the Western Pacific Fishery Management Council proposes to amend the Fishery Ecosystem Plan for Pelagic Fisheries of the Western Pacific Region.

| 2013-29439 | CCC Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) Program and Facility Guarantee Program (FGP) | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would revise and amend the regulations that administer the Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) Program. Changes in this proposed rule incorporate program operational changes and information from press releases and notices to participants that have been implemented since the publication of the current rule, and include other administrative revisions to enhance clarity and program integrity. This proposed rule also incorporates certain changes as suggested in comments received in response to the initial publication of the proposed rule on July 27, 2011. These changes should increase program availability to all program participants and enhance access and encourage sales for smaller U.S. exporters. Changes are also intended to improve CCC's financial management of the program. The proposed rule would eliminate provisions for the Intermediate Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-103) Program, consistent with the repeal of authority to operate this program in the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (2008 Act). | 2013-12-27 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/27/2013-29439/ccc-export-credit-guarantee-gsm-102-program-and-facility-guarantee-program-fgp | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-27/pdf/2013-29439.pdf | Agriculture Department; Commodity Credit Corporation | 12,76 | This proposed rule would revise and amend the regulations that administer the Export Credit Guarantee (GSM-102) Program.

As a condition of receiving a grant of funds under the Migrant Education Program (MEP), each State educational agency (SEA) would be required to collect, maintain, and submit minimum health and educational information to MSIX within established time frames. The proposed regulations would facilitate timely school enrollment, placement, and accrual of secondary course credits for migratory children and help the Department determine accurate migratory child counts and meet other MEP reporting requirements. | 2013-12-27 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/27/2013-30260/title-i-improving-the-academic-achievement-of-the-disadvantaged-migrant-education-program | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-27/pdf/2013-30260.pdf | Education Department | 126 | The Secretary proposes regulations to implement the Migrant Student Information Exchange (MSIX), a nationwide, electronic records exchange mechanism mandated under title I, part C, of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, as amended... |

| 2013-30724 | Medicare and Medicaid Programs; Emergency Preparedness Requirements for Medicare and Medicaid Participating Providers and Suppliers | Proposed Rule | This proposed rule would establish national emergency preparedness requirements for Medicare- and Medicaid-participating providers and suppliers to ensure that they adequately plan for both natural and man-made disasters, and coordinate with federal, state, tribal, regional, and local emergency preparedness systems. It would also ensure that these providers and suppliers are adequately prepared to meet the needs of patients, residents, clients, and participants during disasters and emergency situations. We are proposing emergency preparedness requirements that 17 provider and supplier types must meet to participate in the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Since existing Medicare and Medicaid requirements vary across the types of providers and suppliers, we are also proposing variations in these requirements. These variations are based on existing statutory and regulatory policies and differing needs of each provider or supplier type and the individuals to whom they provide health care services. Despite these variations, our proposed regulations would provide generally consistent emergency preparedness requirements, enhance patient safety during emergencies for persons served by Medicare- and Medicaid-participating facilities, and establish a more coordinated and defined response to natural and man- made disasters. | 2013-12-27 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/27/2013-30724/medicare-and-medicaid-programs-emergency-preparedness-requirements-for-medicare-and-medicaid | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-27/pdf/2013-30724.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This proposed rule would establish national emergency preparedness requirements for Medicare- and Medicaid-participating providers and suppliers to ensure that they adequately plan for both natural and man-made disasters, and coordinate with federal,... |
| 2013-30812 | Nondiscrimination in Programs or Activities Conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture | Proposed Rule | The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA or Department) proposes to amend its regulation on nondiscrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department. The changes are proposed to clarify the roles and responsibilities of USDA's Office of the Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights (OASCR) and USDA agencies in enforcing nondiscrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department and to strengthen USDA's civil rights compliance and complaint processing activities to better protect the rights of USDA customers. OASCR's compliance activities are detailed, and a requirement is included that each agency shall, for civil rights compliance purposes, collect, maintain, and annually compile data on the race, ethnicity, and gender of all conducted program applicants and participants by county and State. Applicants and program participants will provide the race, ethnicity, and gender data on a voluntary basis. The proposed amendment also provides that OASCR shall offer Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services to complainants where appropriate. This amendment is intended to encourage the early resolution of customer complaints. Finally, USDA proposes to amend its regulation to add protection from discrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department with respect to two new protected bases: political beliefs and gender identity. This amendment is meant to make explicit protections against discrimination based on USDA program customers' political beliefs or gender identity. Gender identity includes USDA program customers' gender expression, including how USDA program customers act, dress, perceive themselves, or otherwise express their gender. | 2013-12-27 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/27/2013-30812/nondiscrimination-in-programs-or-activities-conducted-by-the-united-states-department-of-agriculture | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-27/pdf/2013-30812.pdf | Agriculture Department | 12 | The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA or Department) proposes to amend its regulation on nondiscrimination in programs or activities conducted by the Department.

| 2013-31110 | Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; State of Colorado; Second Ten-Year PM10 Maintenance Plan for Pagosa Springs | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to partially approve and partially disapprove State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Colorado. On March 31, 2010, the Governor of Colorado's designee submitted to EPA a revised maintenance plan for the Pagosa Springs area for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM<INF>10</INF>). The State adopted the revised maintenance plan on November 19, 2009. As required by Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A(b), this revised maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the PM<INF>10</INF> standard for a second 10-year period beyond the area's original redesignation to attainment for the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS. EPA is proposing to approve the revised maintenance plan with the exception of one aspect of the plan's contingency measures. EPA's proposed approval includes the revised maintenance plan's 2021 transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budget for PM<INF>10.</INF> In proposing to approve the revised maintenance plan, we are proposing to exclude from use in determining that Pagosa Springs continues to attain the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS, exceedances of the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS that were recorded at the Pagosa Springs PM<INF>10</INF> monitor on March 22, 2009, April 3, 2009, April 5, 2010, April 28, 2010, April 29, 2010, May 11, 2010, and May 22, 2010 because the exceedances meet the criteria for exceptional events caused by high wind natural events.

| 2013-30544 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; North Carolina; Transportation Conformity Memorandum of Agreement Update | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan submitted on July 12, 2013, through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. This submission adopts a memorandum of agreement establishing transportation conformity criteria and procedures related to interagency consultation and enforceability of certain transportation-related control measures and mitigation measures. This proposed action streamlines the conformity process to allow direct consultation among agencies at the Federal, state and local levels. This proposed action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's implementation plan revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30544/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-north-carolina-transportation-conformity | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30544.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a revision to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan submitted on July 12, 2013, through the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

| 2013-30712 | Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Pennsylvania; Update of the Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for the Lancaster 1997 8-Hour Ozone Maintenance Area | Proposed Rule | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's (Pennsylvania) State Implementation Plan (SIP). One revision consists of an update to the SIP-approved Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets (MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) SIP for Lancaster County (also referred to as the "Lancaster Maintenance Area"). The other SIP revision updates the point source inventory for NO<INF>X</INF> and VOCs. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30712/approval-and-promulgation-of-air-quality-implementation-plans-pennsylvania-update-of-the-motor | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30712.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's (Pennsylvania) State Implementation Plan (SIP).

| 2013-30853 | Airworthiness Directives; Dassault Aviation Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-13- 07 that applies to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes. AD 2011-13-07 requires revising the airplane flight manual (AFM) to include a procedure to power off a radio-altimeter or revert to the correct radio-altimeter output. Since we issued AD 2011-13-07, an analysis showed that AFM procedures could be simplified. This proposed AD would require revising the AFM to include a simpler procedure to revert to the correct radio-altimeter output. We are proposing this AD to ensure that the flightcrew has procedures in the event of a radio- altimeter lock-up, which inhibits the display of warnings along with certain abnormal conditions, during the switch into landing mode during altitude cruise. If not corrected, this could result in the flightcrew being unaware of possible system failures that require immediate action by the flightcrew, leading to possible loss of control of the airplane. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30853/airworthiness-directives-dassault-aviation-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30853.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2011-13- 07 that applies to all Dassault Aviation Model FALCON 7X airplanes.

| 2013-30857 | Revision to the Idaho State Implementation Plan; Approval of Fine Particulate Matter Control Measures; Franklin County | Proposed Rule | On December 14, 2012, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) submitted a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) to address Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for the Idaho portion (hereafter referred to as "Franklin County") of the cross border Logan, Utah-Idaho fine particulate matter (PM<INF>2.5</INF>) nonattainment area (Logan UT-ID). The EPA is proposing a limited approval of PM<INF>2.5</INF> control measures contained in the December 2012 submittal because incorporation of these measures would strengthen the Idaho SIP and reduce sources of PM<INF>2.5</INF> emissions in Franklin County that contribute to violations of the 2006 PM<INF>2.5</INF> NAAQS in the Logan UT-ID nonattainment area. Consequently, the EPA is not acting on the entire contents of the December 2012 SIP submission revision at this time. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30857/revision-to-the-idaho-state-implementation-plan-approval-of-fine-particulate-matter-control-measures | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30857.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On December 14, 2012, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) submitted a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) to address Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements for the Idaho portion (hereafter referred to as "Franklin County") of the... |

A limited maintenance plan is used to meet Clean Air Act requirements for formerly designated nonattainment areas with little risk of violating the PM<INF>10</INF> National Ambient Air Quality Standard (PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS) again. All three areas currently have monitored PM<INF>10</INF> levels that are roughly one-third of the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS, with steady declines in PM<INF>10</INF> levels since the areas were first identified as potentially violating the PM<INF>10</INF> NAAQS in 1987. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30878/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-washington-kent-seattle-and-tacoma-second-10-year | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30878.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a limited maintenance plan submitted by the State of Washington, dated November 25, 2013, for the Kent, Seattle, and Tacoma maintenance areas for particulate matter with an aerodynamic... |
| 2013-30882 | Airworthiness Directives; Dowty Propellers | Proposed Rule | We propose to revise airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-21-07 that applies to certain Dowty Propellers model R408/6-123-F/17 propellers. AD 2008-21-07 requires initial and repetitive inspections of the blade bonded metallic leading edge (L/E) guards for correct bonding until they accumulate more than 1,200 flight hours (FH) time in service. Since we issued AD 2008-21-07, Dowty Propellers has introduced updated service bulletins that identify terminating action to the requirements of AD 2008-21-07. This proposed AD would maintain the inspection and replacement requirements of AD 2008-21-07, provide an optional terminating action to those requirements, and add a new part number to the list of affected parts. We are proposing this AD to prevent the loss of the bonded metallic L/E guard of the propeller, which could result in damage to the propeller or to the airplane, or injury to personnel. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30882/airworthiness-directives-dowty-propellers | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30882.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to revise airworthiness directive (AD) 2008-21-07 that applies to certain Dowty Propellers model R408/6-123-F/17 propellers.

| 2013-30893 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2005-23- 08 that applies to certain Airbus Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes; Model A300 F4-605R airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes. AD 2005-23-08 required repetitive inspections to detect cracks of certain attachment holes, installation of new fasteners, follow-on inspections or repair if necessary, and modification of the angle fittings of fuselage frame FR47. Since we issued AD 2005-23-08, we have received reports of cracks found on the horizontal flange of the Frame 47 internal corner angle fitting while accomplishing the modification required by AD 2005-23-08. This proposed AD would add new repetitive ultrasonic inspections for cracks of the center wing box lower panel; and repair if necessary. This proposed AD also removes certain airplanes from the applicability. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct fatigue cracking of the forward fitting of fuselage frame FR47, which could result in reduced structural integrity of the frame. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30893/airworthiness-directives-airbus-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30893.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2005-23- 08 that applies to certain Airbus Model A300 B4-605R and B4-622R airplanes; Model A300 F4-605R airplanes; and Model A300 C4-605R Variant F airplanes.

| 2013-30897 | Airworthiness Directives; Airbus Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes. This proposed AD was prompted by the failure of the generator control unit-constant speed motor/generator (GCU-CSM/G) during a final assembly operational test. This proposed AD would require a detailed inspection of the connector wires for GCU-CSM/G connector 1XE-A for discrepancies (evidence of arcing or overheating damage), and related investigative and corrective actions if necessary. We are proposing this AD to detect and correct incorrect locking of contacts into connector 1XE-A of the GCU-CSM/G, which could result in a loss of contact continuity and lead to the CSM/G not operating, which, in conjunction with an emergency electrical configuration loss of the main electrical system or total engine flame out, could adversely affect the airplane's safe flight. | 2013-12-26 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/26/2013-30897/airworthiness-directives-airbus-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-26/pdf/2013-30897.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for certain Airbus Model A330-200, A330-200 Freighter, and A330-300 series airplanes; and Model A340-200, A340-300, A340-500, and A340-600 series airplanes.

| 2013-29817 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Adjustments to the Allowance System for Controlling HCFC Production, Import and Export | Proposed Rule | EPA is seeking comment on options for adjusting the allowance system controlling United States consumption and production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs). Under Title VI of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to phase out production and import of these chemicals in accordance with United States obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol). Under the Protocol and the Clean Air Act, total United States HCFC production and consumption is capped, and will be completely phased out by 2030. Beginning January 1, 2015, United States production and consumption of all HCFCs must be no more than ten percent of the established cap. Existing EPA regulations prohibit production and consumption of HCFC-22 and HCFC-142b as of January 1, 2020. At that time, all other HCFC production and consumption must not exceed 0.5 percent of the cap, and is limited to use as a refrigerant in existing air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. Given these requirements, EPA is seeking comment on how best to implement the 2015 stepdown to no more than 10 percent of the cap. Since the beginning of the HCFC phaseout program, the agency has tried to ensure a smooth transition out of HCFCs into non-ozone depleting alternatives. Essential to a smooth transition are the recycling and emissions reductions requirements mandated by section 608 of the Clean Air Act. This proposal also includes a request for comment on potential changes to regulations promulgated under that authority, found in 40 CFR part 82 subpart F. In addition to taking comment on the implementation of phaseout requirements and proposed changes to section 608 regulations, the agency is also highlighting important Clean Air Act requirements that take effect in 2015, specifically the section 611 labeling requirements and the section 605 restrictions on HCFC use and introduction into interstate commerce. | 2013-12-24 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/24/2013-29817/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-adjustments-to-the-allowance-system-for-controlling-hcfc | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-24/pdf/2013-29817.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is seeking comment on options for adjusting the allowance system controlling United States consumption and production of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs).

| 2013-30373 | Focused Mitigation Strategies To Protect Food Against Intentional Adulteration | Proposed Rule | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is proposing to require domestic and foreign food facilities that are required to register under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to address hazards that may be intentionally introduced by acts of terrorism. These food facilities would be required to identify and implement focused mitigation strategies to significantly minimize or prevent significant vulnerabilities identified at actionable process steps in a food operation. FDA is proposing these requirements as part of our implementation of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA). Further, as part of the proposal, FDA discusses an approach to addressing economically motivated intentional adulteration. We expect the proposed rule, if finalized as proposed, would help to protect food from intentional adulteration caused by acts of terrorism. | 2013-12-24 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/24/2013-30373/focused-mitigation-strategies-to-protect-food-against-intentional-adulteration | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-24/pdf/2013-30373.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or we) is proposing to require domestic and foreign food facilities that are required to register under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act) to address hazards that may be intentionally... |
| 2013-30375 | Appendix 4 to Draft Qualitative Risk Assessment of Risk of Activity/Food Combinations for Activities (Outside the Farm Definition) Conducted in a Facility Co-Located on a Farm; Availability | Proposed Rule | On January 16, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the availability of, and requested comment on, a document entitled "Draft Qualitative Risk Assessment of Risk of Activity/Food Combinations for Activities (Outside the Farm Definition) Conducted in a Facility Co-Located on a Farm" (the draft RA). FDA is now announcing the availability of, and requesting comment on, a document entitled "Appendix 4 to Draft Qualitative Risk Assessment of Risk of Activity/ Food Combinations for Activities (Outside the Farm Definition) Conducted in a Facility Co-Located on a Farm" (the draft RA Appendix). The purpose of the draft RA Appendix is to provide a science-based risk analysis of those foods whose production would be considered low risk with respect to the risk of intentional adulteration caused by acts of terrorism. The appendix supplements the science-based risk analysis already included in the draft RA, which does not consider the risk of intentional adulteration caused by acts of terrorism. FDA conducted this evaluation to satisfy requirements of the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to conduct a science-based risk analysis and to consider the results of that analysis in rulemaking that is required by FSMA. | 2013-12-24 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/24/2013-30375/appendix-4-to-draft-qualitative-risk-assessment-of-risk-of-activityfood-combinations-for-activities | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-24/pdf/2013-30375.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Food and Drug Administration | 221,199 | On January 16, 2013, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced the availability of, and requested comment on, a document entitled "Draft Qualitative Risk Assessment of Risk of Activity/Food Combinations for Activities (Outside the Farm... |
| 2013-30468 | Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc. Airplanes | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2010-13- 04, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc. Model DHC-8-400 series airplanes. AD 2010-13-04 requires modifying the nose landing gear (NLG) trailing arm. Since we issued AD 2010-13-04, we received a report of several missing or damaged pivot pin retention bolts. This proposed AD would require installing a new pivot pin retention mechanism. This proposed AD would also add airplanes to the applicability. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the pivot pin retention bolt, which could result in a loss of directional control or loss of a NLG tire during take-off or landing. | 2013-12-24 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/24/2013-30468/airworthiness-directives-bombardier-inc-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-24/pdf/2013-30468.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2010-13- 04, which applies to certain Bombardier, Inc.

| 2013-30488 | Airworthiness Directives; Turbomeca S.A. Turboshaft Engines | Proposed Rule | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007-19- 09R1 that applies to Turbomeca S.A. Arriel 2B1 turboshaft engines that do not have modification TU157 incorporated. AD 2007-19-09R1 requires replacement of the hydromechanical metering unit (HMU) with a serviceable HMU. Since we issued AD 2007-19-09R1, we received reports of ruptures on HMU constant delta pressure valves that have less than 2,000 hours in service. This proposed AD would continue to require HMU replacement; reduce the compliance interval; and include the power turbine (C2) cycle consumption rate when determining compliance times. We are proposing this AD to prevent failure of the HMU, which could lead to damage to the engine, and damage to the aircraft. | 2013-12-24 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/24/2013-30488/airworthiness-directives-turbomeca-sa-turboshaft-engines | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-24/pdf/2013-30488.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to supersede airworthiness directive (AD) 2007-19- 09R1 that applies to Turbomeca S.A.

This proposed AD results from mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe condition as chafed or damaged wiring on the flight deck overhead panels (5VE and 6VE). We are issuing this proposed AD to require actions to address the unsafe condition on these products. | 2013-12-23 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/23/2013-30491/airworthiness-directives-dornier-luftfahrt-gmbh-airplanes | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-23/pdf/2013-30491.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Aviation Administration | 492,159 | We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for Dornier Luftfahrt GmbH Models Dornier 228-100, 228-101, 228-200, 228- 201, 228-202, and 228-212 airplanes that would supersede AD 2006-11-19.

| 2013-30497 | Flood Control Regulations, Marshall Ford Dam (Mansfield Dam and Lake Travis), Colorado River, Texas | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is proposing to amend the rules regarding use and administration of Marshall Ford Dam (Mansfield Dam and Lake Travis), Colorado River, Texas. In 1997, the Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA) completed repayment of the federal government's contribution for acquisition and construction costs related to Mansfield Dam. Subsequently, the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) relinquished all rights and obligations to the project. However, the U.S. Department of the Interior and the USBR are referenced as project stakeholders in the Flood Control Regulations. Amending the referenced regulations to update project ownership will eliminate the current discrepancy between the regulations and associated project documents. The Fort Worth District of the Corps and LCRA are finalizing a revised water control plan for Lake Travis. There is no intent to publish the updated water control plan in the Federal Register. Amending the regulations to indicate that the water control plan has been superseded would eliminate the need to amend the regulations each time the water control plan is modified. | 2013-12-23 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/23/2013-30497/flood-control-regulations-marshall-ford-dam-mansfield-dam-and-lake-travis-colorado-river-texas | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-23/pdf/2013-30497.pdf | Defense Department; Engineers Corps | 103,142 | The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is proposing to amend the rules regarding use and administration of Marshall Ford Dam (Mansfield Dam and Lake Travis), Colorado River, Texas.

| 2013-30504 | Small Business Investment Companies-Investments in Passive Businesses | Proposed Rule | The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to revise the regulations for the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program concerning investments in passive businesses. SBICs are generally prohibited from investing in passive businesses under the Small Business Investment Act of 1958, as amended, as well as under SBIC program regulations. Currently these program regulations provide for exceptions that allow an SBIC to structure an investment utilizing a passive small business as a pass-through under certain limited circumstances. One such exception provides that an SBIC may make an investment in a passive small business that passes through the investment proceeds to one or more subsidiaries, each of which must be a non-passive small business. The proposed rule would modify this exception to allow an SBIC to structure an investment utilizing two passive small businesses as pass-through entities. This modification would place SBICs on an equal footing with their non-SBIC counterparts in the venture capital and private equity sectors, in which investments structured with two passive levels, are not uncommon. This proposed rule also includes several technical corrections. Specifically, the proposed rule would update the regulations by replacing obsolete Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes with their equivalents under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS); correct erroneous paragraph cross-references; and modernize the options for meeting the record preservation requirements by removing the reference to "microfilm." | 2013-12-23 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/23/2013-30504/small-business-investment-companies-investments-in-passive-businesses | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-23/pdf/2013-30504.pdf | Small Business Administration | 468 | The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) proposes to revise the regulations for the Small Business Investment Company (SBIC) program concerning investments in passive businesses.

| 2013-30512 | Fisheries Off West Coast States; Coastal Pelagic Species Fisheries; Change to Start of Pacific Sardine Fishing Year | Proposed Rule | Each year, NMFS implements regulations that set the annual quota and management measures for the Pacific sardine fishing year. NMFS proposes to change the starting date of the annual Pacific sardine fishery from January 1 to July 1. This would change the fishing season from one based on the calendar year to one based on a July 1 through the following June 30th schedule. No other changes to the annual allocation structure are being made and the existing seasonal allocation percentages will remain as specified in the FMP; as would the current quota roll-over provisions. The purpose of this change is to better align the timing of the research and science that is used in the annual stock assessments with the annual management schedule. To enable this transition in fishing years, this action also would establish a one-time interim harvest period for the 6 months from January 1, 2014, through June 30, 2014. | 2013-12-23 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/23/2013-30512/fisheries-off-west-coast-states-coastal-pelagic-species-fisheries-change-to-start-of-pacific-sardine | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-23/pdf/2013-30512.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | Each year, NMFS implements regulations that set the annual quota and management measures for the Pacific sardine fishing year.

| 2013-28088 | Accessibility of User Interfaces, and Video Programming Guides and Menus; Accessible Emergency Information, and Apparatus Requirements for Emergency Information and Video Description: Implementation of the Twenty- First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 | Proposed Rule | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on issues related to rules implementing the requirements of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 ("CVAA"). Specifically, the Commission explores whether the Commission should adopt rules to define the term "usable" for purposes of implementing the CVAA. The Commission also explores whether the phrase "accessibility features" in the Communications Act of 1934 ("the Act") includes user display settings for closed captioning and whether those sections can be interpreted to require covered entities to ensure that consumers are able to locate and control such settings. In addition, the Commission explores whether there are possible sources of authority for requiring MVPDs to ensure that video programming guides and menus that provide channel and program information include high level channel and program descriptions and titles, as well as a symbol identifying the programs with accessibility options. The Commission also explores whether to require manufacturers of apparatus covered by the CVAA to provide access to the secondary audio stream used for audible emergency information by a mechanism reasonably comparable to a button, key, or icon. Furthermore, the Commission explores whether it should impose additional notification requirements on MVPDs regarding the availability of accessible equipment and, if so, what those notification requirements should be. The Commission tentatively concludes that equipment manufacturers subject to the CVAA should be required pursuant to the CVAA to inform consumers about the availability of audibly accessible devices and accessibility solutions. | 2013-12-20 | 2013 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/12/20/2013-28088/accessibility-of-user-interfaces-and-video-programming-guides-and-menus-accessible-emergency | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-12-20/pdf/2013-28088.pdf | Federal Communications Commission | 161 | In this document, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) seeks comment on issues related to rules implementing the requirements of the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010 ("CVAA").
