schedule that governs the Bayville 

Bridge across the Mill Neck Creek, mile 

0.1, at Oyster Bay, New York. The 

deviation is necessary to perform 

electrical and mechanical upgrades. 

This deviation allows the bridge to 

remain in the closed position for 

approximately 5 days. 

DATES: This deviation is effective from 

7:00 a.m. on January 11, 2016 to 3:30 

p.m. on January 15, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, [USCG–2015–1102] is

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you have questions on this temporary 

deviation, call or email Ms. Judy K. 

Leung-Yee, Project Officer, First Coast 

Guard District, telephone (212) 514– 

4330, email judy.k.leung-yee@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Nassau 

County Department of Public Works 

requested this temporary deviation from 

the normal operating schedule to 

perform electrical and mechanical 

upgrades. 

The Bayville Bridge, mile 0.1, across 

the Mill Neck Creek has a vertical 

clearance in the closed position of 9 feet 

at mean high water and 16 feet at mean 

low water. The existing bridge operating 

regulations are found at 33 CFR 117.800. 

The waterway is transited by one 

commercial user and recreation vessel 

traffic. 

Under this temporary deviation, the 

Bayville Bridge may remain in the 

closed position from 7:00 a.m. on 

January 11, 2016 to 3:30 p.m. on January 

15, 2016. 

Vessels able to pass through the 

bridge in the closed position may do so 

at any time. The bridge will not be able 

to open for emergencies and there is no 

immediate alternate route for vessels to 

pass. 

The Coast Guard will also inform the 

users of the waterways through our 

Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners 

of the change in operating schedule for 

the bridge so that vessels can arrange 

their transits to minimize any impact 

caused by the temporary deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35. 

Dated: December 17, 2015.

Region 8] 

Air Plan Approval; SD; Update to 

Materials Incorporated by Reference 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; administrative 

change. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is updating the materials

Dakota Department of Environment and 

Natural Resources (SD DENR) and 

approved by the EPA. In this action, the 

EPA is also notifying the public of 

corrections to typographical errors and 

minor formatting changes to the IBR 

tables. This update affects the SIP 

materials that are available for public 

inspection at the EPA Regional Office. 

DATES: This action is effective December 

23, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The SIP is a living document which 

a state revises as necessary to address its 

unique air pollution problems. 

Therefore, the EPA, from time to time, 

must take action on SIP revisions 

containing new and/or revised 

regulations as being part of the SIP. On 

May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), the EPA 

revised the procedures for incorporating 

by reference Federally-approved SIPs, as 

a result of consultation between the EPA 

and the Office of the Federal Register 

(OFR). The description of the revised 

SIP document, IBR procedures and 

‘‘Identification of Plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997, Federal Register document. 

On March 8, 2005 (70 FR 11125) the 

EPA published the revised format of the 

IBR material for South Dakota as of 

November 15, 2004. Today’s action is an 

update to the March 8, 2005 document. 

II. EPA Action 

In this action, the EPA is announcing 

the update to the IBR material as of 

October 1, 2015. The EPA is also 

correcting typographical errors, 

including omission and other minor 

errors in subsection 52.2170, paragraphs 

(c), (d), and (e). 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this action, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of the South Dakota 

regulations described in the 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

IV. Good Cause Exemption 

EPA has determined that today’s 

action falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ 

exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

which, upon a finding of ‘‘good cause’’ 

authorizes agencies to dispense with 

public participation, and section 

553(d)(3), which allows an agency to 

make a rule effective immediately 

(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed 

effective date otherwise provided for in 

the APA). Today’s action simply 

updates the codification of provisions 

which are already in effect as a matter 

of law. 

Under section 553 of the APA, an 

agency may find good cause where 

procedures are ‘‘impractical, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Public comment is 

‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the 

public interest’’ since the codification 

only reflects existing law. Likewise, 

there is no purpose served by delaying 

the effective date of this action. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

is therefore not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. This 

rule is not subject to Executive Order 

13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001) because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. Because the agency has made a 

‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action is 

not subject to notice-and-comment 

requirements under the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other statute as 

indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section, it is not subject to 

the regulatory flexibility provisions of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 

601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 

of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104–4). In 

addition, this action does not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments or impose a significant 

intergovernmental mandate, as 

described in sections 203 and 204 of 

UMRA. This rule also does not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the federal government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

federal government and Indian tribes, as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will 

it have substantial direct effects on the 

states, on the relationship between the 

national government and the states, or 

on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This rule also is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 

19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. This rule does 

not involve technical standards; thus 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. The rule also 

does not involve special consideration 

of environmental justice related issues 

as required by Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This 

rule does not impose an information 

collection burden under the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 

et seq.). EPA’s compliance with these 

statutes and Executive Orders for the 

underlying rules are discussed in 

previous actions taken on the state’s 

rules. 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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. Section 808 allows 

the issuing agency to make a rule 

effective sooner than otherwise 

provided by the CRA if the agency 

makes a good cause finding that notice 

and public procedure is impracticable, 

unnecessary or contrary to the public 

interest. This action simply codifies 

provisions which are already in effect as 

a matter of law in federal and approved 

state programs. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As 

stated previously, EPA has made such a 

good cause finding and established an 

effective date of December 23, 2015. 

EPA will submit a report containing this 

rule 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. This change to the 

identification of plan for South Dakota 

is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 246 / Wednesday, December 23, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 79697 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of the South Dakota 

regulations described in the 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

EPA has also determined that the 

provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the 

Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for 

judicial review are not applicable to this 

action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for 

each individual component of the South 

Dakota SIP compilation had previously 

afforded interested parties the 

opportunity to file a petition for judicial 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days of such rulemaking 

action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this 

action to reopen the 60-day period for 

filing such petitions for judicial review 

for this ‘‘Identification of plan’’ update 

action for South Dakota.
