energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves establishment of a 

temporary safety zone. This rule is 

categorically excluded from further 

review under paragraph 34(g) of Figure 

2–1 of the Commandant Instruction. A 

preliminary environmental analysis 

checklist supporting this determination 

and is available in the docket where 

indicated under ADDRESSES. We seek 

any comments or information that may 

lead to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Maryland; Permit to Construct 

Exemptions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Maryland pertaining to sources which 

are exempt from preconstruction 

permitting requirements under 

Maryland’s New Source Review (NSR) 

program. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by July 12, 2012.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R04–OAR–2012–0402; FRL–9686–1] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Mississippi; 

110(a)(1) and (2) Infrastructure 

Requirements for the 1997 and 2006 

Fine Particulate Matter National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP), 

submitted by the State of Mississippi, 

through the Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality (DEQ), as 

meeting certain requirements of sections 

110(a)(1) and (2) of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or the Act) for the 1997 annual 

and 2006 24-hour fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5) national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS). Section 110(a) of 

the CAA requires that each state adopt 

and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each NAAQS 

promulgated by the EPA, which is 

commonly referred to as an 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. Mississippi 

certified that the Mississippi SIP 

contains provisions that ensure that the 

1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and 

maintained in Mississippi (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘infrastructure 

submission’’). EPA is proposing to 

determine that Mississippi’s 

infrastructure submissions, provided to 

EPA on December 7, 2007, and on 

October 6, 2009, addressed all the 

required infrastructure elements for the 

1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS with the exception of sections 

110(a)(2)(E)(ii) and 110(a)(2)(G), both of 

which will be addressed in a separate 

action.

received on or before July 12, 2012.
