13516 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 9, 2021 / Proposed Rules 

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

These rules are consistent with CAA 

requirements and relevant guidance 

regarding enforceability, stringency, and 

SIP revisions. The TSDs have more 

information on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations To Further 

Improve the Rules 

The TSD for Rule 215 describes a 

suggested rule revision that we 

recommend for the next time the local 

agency modifies the rule. 

D. Public Comment and Proposed 

Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, the EPA proposes to fully 

approve the submitted rules because 

they fulfill all relevant requirements. 

We will accept comments from the 

public on this proposal until April 8, 

2021. If we take final action to approve 

the submitted rules, our final action will 

incorporate these rules into the federally 

enforceable SIP. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In these rules, the EPA is proposing 

to include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

the EDCAQMD Rule 215 and the 

SCAQMD Rule 102 described in Table 

1 of this preamble. The EPA has made, 

and will continue to make, these 

materials available through 

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region IX Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

IV. 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, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. Accordingly, this proposed action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 the EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, and legally permissible 

methods under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the 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).

[MB Docket No. 21–50; RM–11875; DA 21–

Television Broadcasting Cape 

Girardeau, Missouri 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Proposed Rule. 

SUMMARY: The Video Division has before 

it a petition for rulemaking filed 

November 27, 2020 (Petition) by Gray 

Television Licensee, LLC (Petitioner), 

the licensee of KFVS–TV (CBS), channel 

11 (KFVS or Station), Cape Girardeau, 

Missouri. The Petitioner requests the 

substitution of channel 32 for channel 

11 at Cape Girardeau, Missouri in the 

DTV Table of Allotments. In support of 

its channel substitution request, the 

Petitioner states that the Commission 

has recognized that VHF channels have 

certain propagation characteristics 

which may cause reception issues for 

some viewers, and also that the 

‘‘reception of VHF signals require larger 

antennas . . . relative to UHF 

channels.’’ According to the Petitioner, 

‘‘many of its viewers experience 

significant difficulty receiving KFVS– 

TV’s signal’’ and its channel 

substitution proposal will allow KFVS 

‘‘to deliver a more reliable over-the-air 

signal to viewers.’’ The Petitioner 

further states that operation on channel 

32 will not result in any predicted loss 

of service and would result in a 

substantial increase in signal 

receivability for KFVS viewers. We 

believe that the Petitioner’s channel 

substitution proposal warrants 

consideration. Channel 32 can be 

substituted for channel 11 at Cape 

Girardeau, Missouri as proposed, in 

compliance with the principal 

community coverage requirements of 

the Commission’s rules at coordinates 

37–27–46.0 N and 89–30–14.0 W. In 

addition, we find that this channel 

change meets the technical 

requirements set forth in our 

regulations. We believe that the 

Petitioner’s channel substitution 

proposal warrants consideration. 

Channel 32 can be substituted for 

channel 11 at Cape Girardeau, Missouri 

as proposed, in compliance with the 

principal community coverage 

requirements of the Commission’s rules 

at coordinates 37–27–46.0 N and 89–30– 

14.0 W. In addition, we find that this 

channel change meets the technical 

requirements set forth in our 

regulations.
