Title: Airworthiness Directives; Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. Model
214B, 214B-1, and 214ST Helicopters
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This amendment supersedes an existing airworthiness directive
(AD), applicable to Bell Helicopter Textron, Inc. (BHTI) Model 214B,
214B-1, and 214ST helicopters, that currently establishes a retirement
life of 60,000 high-power events for the main rotor trunnion
(trunnion). This amendment requires changing the method of calculating
the retirement life for the trunnion from high-power events to a
maximum accumulated Retirement Index Number (RIN). This amendment is
prompted by fatigue analyses and tests that show certain trunnions fail
sooner than originally anticipated because of the unanticipated higher
number of lifts or takeoffs (torque events) performed with those
trunnions. The actions specified by this AD are intended to prevent
fatigue failure of the trunnion, which could result in loss of the main
rotor and subsequent loss of control of the helicopter.
Action: Final rule.
Effective-Date: September 29, 1998.

Summary: This document corrects the amendment number in airworthiness
directive (AD) 97-19-06 that was incorrectly published in the Federal
Register on September 19, 1997 (62 FR 49132). This AD is applicable to
Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation Model S-61A, D, E, L, N, NM, R, and V
helicopters and requires, before further flight, inspecting certain
main rotor blades to determine the anodizing date for certain pocket
assemblies installed on the blade, and if a blade has a pocket assembly
that was anodized by Poly-Metal Company during the period of October 1,
1996, through December 31, 1996, replacing it with an airworthy blade.

Summary: This regulation establishes time-limited tolerances for
residues of phosphine resulting from the use of the rodenticide zinc
phosphide in or on timothy (seed, forage, hay), alfalfa (forage, hay),
and clover (forage, hay). This action is in response to EPA's granting
of an emergency exemption under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act authorizing use of the pesticide on
timothy or timothy-alfalfa, clover stands in Washington. This
regulation establishes a maximum permissible level for residues of
phosphine in these food commodities pursuant to section 408(l)(6) of
the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended by the Food
Quality Protection Act of 1996. The tolerances will expire and are
revoked on February 1, 2000.

Title: Schedule of Fees Authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30141
CFR: 49 CFR Part 594
Summary: This document adopts fees for Fiscal Year 1999 and until
further notice, as authorized by 49 U.S.C. 30141, relating to the
registration of importers and the importation of motor vehicles not
certified as conforming to the Federal motor vehicle safety standards
(FMVSS).
NHTSA is reducing the fee for the registration of a new importer
from $501 to $491, and increasing the fee for annual renewal of
registration from $332 to $350. These fees include the costs of
maintaining the registered importer program. The fee required to
reimburse the U.S. Customs Service for bond processing costs is
increased by $0.25, from $5.15 to $5.40 per bond.
The fee payable for a petition seeking a determination that a
nonconforming vehicle is capable of conversion to meet the FMVSS
remains at $199 if the petition claims that the nonconforming vehicle
is substantially similar to conforming vehicles. With respect to
vehicles that have no substantially similar counterpart, the petition
fee remains at $721. In addition, the fee payable by the importer of
each vehicle that benefits from an eligibility determination is reduced
from $134 to $125, regardless of whether the determination is made
pursuant to a petition or by NHTSA on its own initiative (this does not
apply to vehicles imported from Canada admitted under VSA 80-83).

Action: Final rule.
Date-Time: The effective date of the final rule is October 1, 1998.

Title: Airworthiness Directives; Raytheon Aircraft Company Models B300
and B300C Airplanes
CFR: 14 CFR Part 39
Summary: This document proposes to adopt a new airworthiness directive
(AD) that would apply to Raytheon Aircraft Company (Raytheon) Models
B300 and B300C airplanes (commonly referred to as Beech Models B300 and
B300C airplanes). The proposed action would require modifying the
elevator trim tab actuators by incorporating a new elevator trim tab
actuator assembly kit, replacing the elevator trim tab pushrod
assembly, or modifying the elevator spar opening, whichever is
applicable. Reports from operators of ice forming on the elevator trim
tab actuators and jamming the trim tab control prompted the proposed
action. The actions specified by the proposed AD are intended to
prevent jamming of the elevator trim tab actuator caused by ice
formations, which could result in loss of control of the airplane.
Action: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

significant, material, and adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule published elsewhere
in todays Federal Register. If no significant, material, and adverse
comments are received no further activity is contemplated in relation
to this proposed rule. 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 action.

significantly for required Class A accounting thus allowing mid-sized
carriers currently required to use Class A accounts to use the more
streamlined Class B accounts. In addition, the Commission proposes to
establish less burdensome cost allocation manual (``CAM'') procedures
for the mid-sized incumbent local exchange carriers (``LECs'') and to
reduce the frequency with which independent audits of the cost
allocations based upon the CAMs are required. Finally, the Commission
propose several changes to the Uniform System of Accounts (``USOA'') to
reduce accounting requirements and to eliminate or consolidate
accounts.

Title: Uniform National Discharge Standards for Vessels of the Armed
Forces
CFR: 40 CFR Chapter VII and Part 1700
Summary: This proposed rule describes the types of discharges generated
incidental to the normal operation of Armed Forces vessels and
identifies which of these discharges the Armed Forces will be required
to control, and which vessel discharges will not require pollution
controls.
Today's proposal also addresses; the mechanism by which States can
petition EPA and DOD to review whether or not a discharge should
require control by a marine pollution control device (MPCD), or to
review a Federal performance standard for a MPCD; the effect on State
regulation of vessel discharges; and the processes to be followed by
EPA and States when establishing no-discharge zones (where any release
of a specified discharge is prohibited).
This is the first phase of a three-phased process to set uniform
national discharge standards (UNDS) for Armed Forces vessels. Phase I
will establish which types of discharges warrant control and which do
not, based on consideration of the anticipated environmental effects of
the discharge and other factors listed at section 312(n) of the Clean
Water Act. Phase II will promulgate MPCD performance standards, and
Phase III will specify requirements for the design, construction,
installation, and use of MPCDs.
Uniform national discharge standards will result in enhanced
...
Action: Proposed rule.
Date-Time: Comments on the proposed rule must be received or postmarked by
October 9, 1998. For information on submitting comments on the draft
information collection request that was prepared for the proposed rule,

Title: Upper Charley Subwatershed Ecosystem Restoration Projects
Umatilla National Forest, Garfield County, Washington
Summary: The USDA Forest Service will prepare an environmental impact
statement (EIS) on a proposed action to implement ecosystem restoration
projects, designed to promote healthy watershed conditions, within the
Upper Charley subwatershed. The project area is located on the Pomeroy
Ranger District approximately 10 air miles southeast of Pomeroy,
Washington.
Proposed project activities consist of in-channel fish habitat
projects, hydrologic stability projects (road obliteration, road re-
alignment/reconstruction), wildlife enhancement projects, range
improvements, noxious weed treatments, recreation opportunities,
landscape prescribed fire, and restoration of forest stand structure/
composition using a variety of silvicultural treatments including
commercial timber harvest. The proposed action is designed to reduce
risks to ecosystem sustainability, prevent further degradation of
forest health, reduce risks of catastrophic wildfire, improve or
maintain aquatic and terrestrial habitat, manage access to protect
wildlife, and provide some economic return to local economies.
The EIS will tier to the 1990 Land and Resource Management Plan
FEIS for the Umatilla National Forest, which provides overall guidance
for forest management of the area.
Action: Notice of intent to prepare an environmental impact statement.
Date-Time: Written comments concerning the scope of the analysis should be

Title: Financial Assistance for a National Ocean Service Intern Program
Summary: The National Ocean Service announces the availability of
Federal Assistance to conduct an intern program. The need for wise
stewardship of the coastal environment is increasing and with it a need
to enlarge the pool of skilled environmental scientists and managers
and at the same time increase the diversity of this pool. The National
Ocean Service (NOS) recognizes that there is a shortage of skilled
environmental scientists and managers who are aware of and utilize the
techniques and technologies required by NOAA's stewardship programs and
is trying to remedy the situation through an Intern program. The
programmatic objective of this intern program is to provide unique
opportunities for cooperative study, research, and development that
would be of major benefit in advancing the number and diversity of
skilled engineers, scientists, and managers in the environmental arena
who are familiar with the techniques and technologies used by NOS. This
solicitation is to find a partner to assist NOAA in cooperatively
managing this intern program. This partner would be responsible for
locating candidate Interns, assistance in their selection, and
administration of the awards to the Interns. NOAA would identify the
intern opportunities, assist in the final selection of the candidate
interns, and provide space, technical guidance and training to the
Interns during their period of internship at government facilities.

Title: Proposed National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System General
Permit and Reporting Requirements for the Final Beneficial Reuse or
Disposal of Municipal Sewage Sludge (ARG650000)
Summary: Section 305(f)(1) of the CWA provides all permits issued under
section 402 to a POTW or any other TWTDS must include requirements for
the use and disposal of sludge that implement the regulations
established pursuant to section 405(d) of the CWA (see 40 CFR Part 503
and Part 258).
The State of Arkansas was authorized to implement the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program on November 1,
1986. It is not applying for authorization to implement the sewage
sludge program. The Arkansas Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
permits issued to wastewater treatment facilities will not provide
permit coverage for disposal of sewage sludge. EPA is proposing this
permit to assure sewage sludge is beneficially reused or disposed in
accordance with regulations to protect human health and the
environment. The 40 CFR Part 503 Standards consist of general
requirements, pollutant limits, management practices, and operational
standards, for the final use or disposal of sewage sludge generated
during the treatment of domestic sewage in a treatment works. Reuse or
disposal methods addressed in the general permit include sewage sludge
applied to the land, placed on a surface disposal site, and disposed in
a municipal solid waste landfill. This notice requests comments on the
general permit.
Action: Pursuant to section 405(f)(1) of the Clean Water Act (CWA) EPA
is proposing a General Permit to treatment works treating domestic
sewage (TWTDS), including publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), in
the State of Arkansas. Notice is for the draft general permit for the
land application, surface disposal, and disposal in a municipal solid
waste landfill (MSWLF) of sewage sludge generated during the treatment
of domestic sewage in a treatment works.
Date-Time: Comments on the proposed permit must be received on or before
October 26, 1998. See HEARINGS for information on hearing dates.

Summary: This notice announces receipt by the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a petition for a decision that 1993-
1998 Porsche 928 passenger cars that were not originally manufactured
to comply with all applicable Federal motor vehicle safety standards

certified by their manufacturer as complying with the safety standards,

standards.

Title: Nassau County, New York, Ordinance on Transportation of Liquefied
Petroleum Gases
Summary: Federal hazardous material transportation law preempts the
requirement in Section 6.8 of Nassau County, New York Ordinance No.
344-1979 for a certificate of fitness, insofar as that requirement is
applied to a motor vehicle driver who sells or delivers liquefied
petroleum gas (LPG), because Section 6.8 imposes on drivers of motor
vehicles used to deliver LPG more stringent training requirements than
provided in the HMR. This requirement is not preempted with respect to
persons who sell or transfer LPG but do not drive the motor vehicle
from which (or to which) the LPG is transferred.
There is insufficient information to find that Federal hazardous
materials law preempts the requirement in Sections 6.7(A) and (B) of
Ordinance No. 344-1979 for a permit to pick up or deliver LPG within
Nassau County. The application and comments submitted in this
proceeding fail to show that this requirement, as applied and enforced,
creates an obstacle to accomplishing and carrying out Federal hazardous
material transportation law or the HMR. The record does not support
findings that the requirement for a permit causes an unnecessary delay
in the transportation of hazardous materials; that the permit fee is
unfair or used for purposes other than relating to transporting
hazardous materials; or that the permit sticker is a labeling or
marking of hazardous material (within the meaning and intent of the
...

Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety.
