efficiency of vessel traffic in the study 

area. When vessels follow predictable 

and charted routing measures, 

congestion may be reduced, and 

mariners may be better able to predict 

where vessel interactions may occur and 

act accordingly. 

Fourteen letters and six studies were 

received in response to the published 

notice of study. The Eleventh Coast 

Guard District also held public meetings 

in Oxnard and San Pedro California to 

allow for comments in person. These 

meetings were announced in the 

Federal Register and conducted at the 

Port Hueneme Harbor District office on 

October 13, 2010 and the Port of Los 

Angeles Administration Building, on 

October 14, 2010. 

The recommendations of the PARS 

are based in large part on the comments 

received to the docket, public outreach, 

and consultation with other government 

agencies. 

Study Recommendations 

The PARS evaluated 4 major concerns 

and 5 separate options for modification 

to the current vessel routing system 

before reaching a recommendation. We 

considered information presented in 

various studies and data collected by 

the U.S. Coast Guard and by other 

stakeholder organizations on vessel 

traffic patterns, density, and risks. The 

actual PARS should be consulted for a 

detailed explanation of the final 

recommendation. It can be accessed as 

described in the ADDRESSES section of 

this notice. 

Conclusion 

Based upon the results of the PARS, 

we found unbounded vessel traffic 

transiting the waters south of the 

Channel Islands to be a safety concern. 

With increased vessel traffic, the risk of 

collision needed to be addressed. The 

Coast Guard recommends creating 

traffic lanes south of the Channel 

Islands to increase predictability by 

providing a defined route for vessel 

traffic transiting south of the islands. 

The Coast Guard also recommends 

decreasing the width of the separation 

scheme in the Santa Barbara Channel to 

help in preserving the marine 

environment. The current separation 

scheme would be reduced from 4nm to 

3nm, moving the southern inbound lane 

1nm toward the northern lane, and 

reducing the separation zone between 

the lanes from 2nm to 1nm. The 

northern outbound lane would remain 

in place. Decreasing the width of the 

separation zone and shifting the 

southern lane 1nm to the north, will 

move vessel traffic away from the 

Channel Islands National Marine 

Sanctuary. 

The PARS contains recommendations 

which would require the approval of the 

International Maritime Organization for 

implementation. The Coast Guard will 

follow the Federal rulemaking process 

for implementation of any of the 

proposed changes to the traffic 

separation scheme. This process will 

also include consultations with the 

National Marine Fisheries Service in 

accordance with the Endangered 

Species Act. This will provide ample 

opportunity for additional comments on 

proposed changes to the existing vessel 

routing system through a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published 

in the Federal Register.

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Placer County Air 

Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) and 

Sacramento Metro Air Quality 

Management District (SMAQMD) 

portions of the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX) emissions from industrial, 

institutional and commercial boilers, 

stationary internal combustion engines 

and water heaters. We are proposing to 

approve local rules to regulate these 

emission sources under the Clean Air 

Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 

Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by December 1, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments,

unless you provide it in the body of 

your comment. If you send email 

directly to EPA, your email address will 

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the public comment. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This

Generator and Process Heaters, Rule 

242, Stationary Internal Combustion 

Engines, Rule 246, Natural Gas-Fired 

Water Heaters, and Rule 414, Water

Rated Less Than 1,000,000 BTU per 

hour. In the Rules and Regulations 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

approving these local rules in a direct 

final action without prior proposal 

because we believe these SIP revisions 


emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 1, 2011 / Proposed Rules 67397 

are not controversial. If we receive 

adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In this document, the 

Commission proposes to continue 

utilizing the factors used for the ‘‘undue 

burden’’ exemption standard when 

evaluating future petitions seeking 

individual exemptions under the new 

economically burdensome standard 

contained in the CVAA. In addition, the 

Commission proposes to replace all 

current references to ‘‘undue burden’’ in 

the Commission’s closed captioning 

rules with the term ‘‘economically 

burdensome’’ to correspond with the 

new language reflected in the TwentyFirst Century Communications and 

Video Accessibility Act of 2010 (CVAA). 

The intended effect of this action is to 

ensure that the Commission’s rules 

conform to section 202 of the CVAA.
