11808 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

EPA has preliminarily determined 

that this proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

determination does not have 

‘‘substantial direct effects’’ on an Indian 

Tribe as a result of this action. With 

respect to today’s proposed action as it 

relates to South Carolina, EPA notes that 

the Catawba Indian Nation Reservation 

is located within the South Carolina and 

pursuant to the Catawba Indian Claims 

Settlement Act, S.C. Code Ann. 27–16– 

120, ‘‘all state and local environmental 

laws and regulations apply to the 

Catawba Indian Nation and Reservation 

and are fully enforceable by all relevant 

state and local agencies and 

authorities.’’ Thus, the South Carolina 

SIP applies to the Catawba Reservation, 

however, because today’s proposed 

action is not approving any specific rule 

into the South Carolina SIP, but rather 

proposing that the State’s already 

approved SIP meets certain CAA 

requirements, EPA has preliminarily 

determined that there are no substantial 

direct effects on the Catawba Indian 

Nation. EPA has also preliminarily 

determined that these revisions will not 

impose any substantial direct costs on 

tribal governments or preempt tribal 

law.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 

Approve Knox County Supplemental 

Motor Vehicle Emissions Budget 

Update 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the Tennessee State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted to 

EPA on December 13, 2012, by the State 

of Tennessee, through the Tennessee 

Department of Environment and 

Conservation. Tennessee’s December 13, 

2012, SIP revision includes changes to 

the maintenance plan for the Knox 

County 1-hour ozone area submitted on 

August 26, 1992, and approved by EPA 

on September 27, 1993, and a 

subsequent SIP revision approved by 

EPA on August 5, 1997. The Knox 

County 1-hour ozone area was 

comprised of Knox County in its 

entirety. The December 13, 2012, SIP 

revision proposes to increase the safety 

margin allocated to motor vehicle 

emissions budgets for nitrogen oxides 

and volatile organic compounds for 

Knox County to account for changes in 

the emissions model and vehicle miles 

traveled projection model. EPA is 

approving this SIP revision because the 

State has demonstrated that it is 

consistent with the Clean Air Act.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 18, 2012, EPA proposed to 

approve, through parallel processing, a 

draft revision to the Tennessee SIP. EPA 

explained in that notice that if the 

State’s final submission was changed, 

EPA will evaluate those changes and if 

necessary and appropriate, issue 

another notice of proposed rulemaking. 

Tennessee’s final submittal was 

different from its draft submittal and as 

a result, EPA is now taking direct final 

action and this proposed action to 

approve Tennessee’s final submittal 

dated December 13, 2012. Today’s 

actions replace and supercede EPA’s 

previous December 18, 2012, proposal 

action. 

Additionally, on March 12, 2008, EPA 

issued a revised ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). See 73 FR 16436. The current 

action, however, is being taken to 

address requirements under the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. 

For additional information regarding 

today’s action see the direct final rule 

which is published in the Rules Section 

of this Federal Register. Through that 

direct final rule, EPA is approving the 

State’s implementation plan revision 

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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the state of 

Missouri on March 17, 2011. This 

revision proposes to amend the rule 

restricting emissions of particulate 

matter from industrial sources by 

providing an alternative compliance 

method for wet corn milling drying 

operations. The revision to Missouri’s 

rule does not have an adverse affect on 

air quality. EPA’s approval of this SIP 

revision is being done in accordance 

with the requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

March 22, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2012–0758, by mail to Amy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant 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 action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.
