the waterways, waterway users, and 

vessels from the hazards associated with 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

dispersal barriers performance testing. 

During any of the enforcement 

periods listed below, entry into, 

transiting, mooring, laying-up or

to life and property. Because of these 

risks, it is necessary to control vessel 

movement during the operation to 

prevent injury and property loss. 

In accordance with the general 

regulations in § 165.23 of this part, entry 

into, transiting, mooring, laying up or 

anchoring within the enforced area of

Vessels that wish to transit through 

the safety zone may request permission 

from the Captain of the Port, Lake 

Michigan. Requests must be made in 

advance and approved by the Captain of 

the Port before transits will be 

authorized. Approvals will be granted 

on a case by case basis. The Captain of 

the Port may be contacted via U.S. Coast 

Guard Sector Lake Michigan on VHF

Approval and Disapproval of Air 

Quality State Implementation Plans; 

Arizona; Regional Haze and Interstate 

Transport Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: EPA is correcting the 

preamble to the final rule that appeared 

in the Federal Register on July 30, 2013. 

This final rule partially approved and 

partially disapproved a portion of 

Arizona’s State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) to implement the regional haze 

program for the first planning period 

through 2018. The final rule preamble 

inadvertently misstated the effective 

date of the rule under the Congressional 

Review Act and the deadline for filing 

of petitions for judicial review of the 

rule under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act. This document corrects those 

errors and clarifies that the rule was 

signed by the Acting Regional 

Administrator for EPA Region 9. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

29, 2013.

I. Background Information 

On May 7, 2013, EPA published a 

proposed rule in the Federal Register in 

which we proposed approval of a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision that 

was submitted by the State of Wyoming 

on December 21, 2012. Our proposed 

rule provided an opportunity for public 

comment through June 6, 2013 (see 78 

FR 26563). The SIP submission 

addressed revisions and additions to the 

State’s general conformity requirements 

in order to align them with the current 

federal general conformity regulation 

requirements and incorporated by 

reference those sections of the Code of 

Federal Regulations that are referred to 

in the State’s general conformity 

requirements. In response to our May 7, 

2013 proposed rule, we received six 

comment letters in support of our 

proposed rule and we did not receive 

any adverse comments. 

As background, we note the intent of 

the general conformity requirement is to 

prevent the air quality impacts of 

federal actions from causing or 

contributing to a violation of a National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

or interfering with the purpose of a SIP. 

Under the Clean Air Act (CAA) as 

amended in 1990, Congress recognized 

that actions taken by federal agencies 

could affect state and local agencies’ 

abilities to attain and maintain the 

NAAQS. Section 176(c) of the CAA, as 

codified in Title 42 of the United States 

Code (42 U.S.C. 7506), requires federal 

agencies to assure that their actions 

conform to the applicable SIP for 

attaining and maintaining compliance 

with the NAAQS. General conformity is 

defined to apply to NAAQS established 

pursuant to section 109 of the CAA, 

including the NAAQS for carbon 

monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), 

ozone, particulate matter (PM), and 

sulfur dioxide (SO2). Because certain 

provisions of section 176(c) of the CAA 

apply only to highway and mass transit 

funding and approval actions, EPA 

published two sets of regulations to 

implement section 176(c) of the CAA— 

one set for transportation conformity 

and one set for general conformity. The 

federal general conformity regulations 

were published on November 30, 1993 

(58 FR 63214) and codified in the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR 

part 93 Subpart B. 

On July 17, 2006, EPA revised the 

federal general conformity regulations 

via a final rule (71 FR 40420). EPA had 

promulgated a new NAAQS on July 18, 

1997 (62 FR 38652) that established a 

separate NAAQS for fine particulate 

matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers in 

diameter (PM2.5). The prior coarse 

particulate matter NAAQS promulgated 

in 1997 pertains to particulate matter 

under 10 micrometers in diameter 

(PM10). EPA’s July 17, 2006 revision to 

the federal general conformity 

regulations (71 FR 40420) added 

requirements for PM2.5 for the first time, 

including annual emission limits of 

PM2.5 above which covered federal 

actions in NAAQS nonattainment or 

maintenance areas would be subject to 

general conformity applicability.
