§ 680.43 Revocation of CVC and CPC QS. 

(a) Beginning July 1, 2019, the 

Regional Administrator will revoke all 

CVC QS and CPC QS held by an 

individual who has not met the 

participation requirements set forth in 

§ 680.40(m). The Regional 

Administrator will revoke an 

individual’s CVC QS or CPC QS in 

accordance with the procedures set 

forth in this section. 

(b) Notice of C Share QS Inactivity. 

The Regional Administrator will issue a 

Notice of C Share QS Inactivity to an 

individual holding CVC or CPC QS if, 

after reviewing the CVC or CPC QS 

holder’s Applications for Annual Crab 

IFQ Permit, the Regional Administrator 

determines that the CVC or CPC QS 

holder has failed to meet the 

participation requirements in 

§ 680.40(m). A CVC or CPC QS holder 

who receives such a Notice will have 60 

days to provide the Regional 

Administrator with information 

demonstrating participation as crew that 

meets the requirements of § 680.40(m). 

(c) Initial administrative 

determination (IAD). The Regional 

Administrator will prepare and send an 

IAD to the CVC or CPC QS holder 

following the expiration of the 60-day 

evidentiary period if the Regional 

Administrator determines that the 

information or evidence provided by the 

CVC or CPC QS holder fails to 

demonstrate participation as crew and is 

insufficient to rebut the information 

included in the CVC or CPC QS holder’s 

Applications for Annual Crab IFQ 

Permit, or if the additional information 

or evidence is not provided within the 

time period specified in the Notice of C 

Share QS Inactivity. The IAD will 

explain the basis for the revocation 

determination. A CVC or CPC QS holder 

who receives an IAD for revocation may 

appeal under the appeals procedures set 

forth at 15 CFR part 906. A CVC or CPC 

QS holder who avails himself or herself 

of the opportunity to appeal an IAD for 

revocation will not receive crab IFQ or 

IPQ until after the final resolution of 

that appeal in the QS holder’s favor.

Approval, Disapproval, and Limited 

Approval and Disapproval of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

California; Monterey Bay Unified Air 

Pollution Control District; Stationary 

Source Permits 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve certain revisions to the 

Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution 

Control District (MBUAPCD or District) 

portion of the applicable state 

implementation plan (SIP) for the State 

of California and to disapprove certain 

other revisions. This action was 

proposed in the Federal Register on 

October 15, 2014. These revisions 

include submittal of certain new or 

revised rules governing the issuance of 

permits for stationary sources, including 

review and permitting of minor sources, 

and major sources and major 

modifications under part C of title I of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is taking 

this action under the Clean Air Act 

obligation to take action on State 

submittals of revisions to state 

implementation plans. The intended 

effect is to update the applicable SIP 

with current MBUAPCD permitting 

rules and set the stage for remedying 

certain deficiencies in these rules. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 27, 

2015.

EPA proposed a combination of 

actions consisting of disapproval of Rule 

200 (Permits), limited approval and 

limited disapproval of Rule 207 (Review 

of New or Modified Sources), repeal of 

Rule 208 (Standards for Granting 

Permits to Operate) and approval of 

Rules 203 (Application), 204 

(Cancellation of Applications), 206 

(Standards for Granting Applications) 

and 212 (Public Availability of Emission 

Data). We noted one specific deficiency 

in Rule 200 and several deficiencies in 

Rule 207 that are the basis for the 

disapproval actions. Please see the 

proposed notice and the associated TSD 

for a list of these deficiencies. 

II. Public Comment 

EPA’s proposed action provided a 30- 

day public comment period. During this 

time we received no comments. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted to 

change our assessment of the rules as 

described in our proposed action. 

Pursuant to section 110(k) of the CAA 

and for the reasons provided in our 

proposed action and associated TSD, 

EPA is finalizing a limited approval and 

limited disapproval of Rule 207, a full 

disapproval of Rule 200, full approval of 

Rules 203, 204, 206 and 212 and the 

request to repeal Rule 208. 

Our full disapproval of Rule 200 

means the current SIP approved version 

of Rule 200—Permits Required will 

remain in effect. (64 FR 35577 July 1, 

1999). 

The limited disapproval of Rule 207 

triggers an obligation for EPA to 

promulgate a Federal Implementation 

Plan unless the State of California 

corrects the deficiencies, and EPA 

approves the related plan revisions 

within two years of the final action. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of the 

MBUAPCD rules described in the 

amendments to 40 CFR 52.220 set forth 

below. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these documents 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at the appropriate EPA office (see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble for 

more information). 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this action merely 

approves State law as meeting Federal 

requirements and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

this action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• 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 Clean Air Act; 

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). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Provisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: On February 2, 2015, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

published a direct final rule approving 

revisions to the Albuquerque/Bernalillo 

County, New Mexico State 

Implementation Plan. These revisions 

add definitions and clarifying changes 

to the general provisions and add a new 

emissions inventory regulation that 

establishes reporting requirements for 

stationary sources in Albuquerque/

Bernalillo County. The direct final rule 

was published without prior proposal 

because EPA anticipated no adverse 

comments. EPA stated in the direct final 

rule that if we received relevant, adverse 

comments by March 4, 2015, EPA 

would publish a timely withdrawal in 

the Federal Register. EPA received a 

comment on February 20, 2015 from the 

Sierra Club stating in relevant part, that 

an Acting Regional Administrator 

cannot sign approvals, disapprovals, or 

any combination of approvals or 

disapproval, in whole or in part, due to 

the fact that the authority to act on 

agency actions on state implementation 

plans is delegated only to, and therefore 

can only be signed by, the Regional 

Administrator. EPA considers this a 

relevant, adverse comment and 

accordingly we are withdrawing our 

direct final rule approval, and in a 

separate subsequent final rulemaking 

we will address the comment received. 

The withdrawal is being taken pursuant 

to section 110 of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: The direct final rule published 

on February 2, 2015 (80 FR 5471), is 

withdrawn effective March 26, 2015.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 

(‘‘CERCLA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’), as amended, 

requires that the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (‘‘NCP’’) include a list 

of national priorities among the known 

releases or threatened releases of 

hazardous substances, pollutants or 

contaminants throughout the United 

States. The National Priorities List 

(‘‘NPL’’) constitutes this list. The NPL is 

intended primarily to guide the 

Environmental Protection Agency (‘‘the 

EPA’’ or ‘‘the agency’’) in determining 

which sites warrant further 

investigation. These further 

investigations will allow the EPA to 

assess the nature and extent of public 

health and environmental risks 

associated with the site and to 

determine what CERCLA-financed 

remedial action(s), if any, may be 

appropriate. This rule adds two sites to 

the General Superfund section of the 

NPL.
