• 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 CAA; 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). 

In addition, this proposed rule, which 

satisfies certain infrastructure 

requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the 

CAA for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS for the 

Commonwealth of Virginia, does not 

have tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

National Oil and Hazardous

Plan; National Priorities List: Deletion 

of the Imperial Refining Company 

Superfund Site 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete the Imperial 

Refining Co. Superfund Site (Site) 

located in Ardmore, Oklahoma, from the 

National Priorities List (NPL) and 

requests public comments on this 

proposed action. The NPL, promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is 

an appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 

the State of Oklahoma, through the 

Oklahoma Department of Environmental 

Quality, have determined that all 

appropriate response actions under 

CERCLA, other than operation, 

maintenance, and five-year reviews, 

have been completed. However, this 

deletion does not preclude future 

actions under Superfund. 

DATES: Comments must be received by

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Previous Federal Actions 

We established a nonessential 

experimental population of Mexican 

wolves in 1998 (63 FR 1752, January 12, 

1998) pursuant to section 10(j) of the 

Endangered Species Act of 1973, as 

amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). 

On August 7, 2007, we published a 

notice of intent in the Federal Register 

(72 FR 44065) to initiate the planning 

process for preparation of an 

environmental impact statement (EIS), 

pursuant to the National Environmental 

Policy Act (NEPA 42 U.S.C. 4321 et 

seq.), to modify our Mexican wolf 

nonessential experimental population 

designation (63 FR 1752, January 12, 

1998). We held 12 public informational 

sessions in the communities and on the 

dates listed in our scoping report, which 

is available at http://www.fws.gov/ 

southwest/es/mexicanwolf/ 

documents.cfm and at http:// 

www.regulations.gov at Docket No. 

FWS–R2–ES–2013–0098. 

On June 13, 2013, we published a 

proposed rule to revise our existing 

Mexican wolf nonessential experimental 

population designation (78 FR 35719). 

Background 

The proposed rule (78 FR 35719, June 

12, 2013), together with the proposed 

implementation of a soon-to-be-released 

management plan for Mexican wolves in 

areas of Arizona and New Mexico that 

are outside of the experimental 

population area, form the basis of the 

proposed action of our EIS. The EIS will 

consider reasonable alternatives for 

revisions to the geographic boundaries 

and management regulations of the 

current Mexican wolf nonessential 

experimental population (63 FR 1752, 

January 12, 1998), and the 

implementation of a management plan 

for the Mexican wolf in those portions 

of Arizona and New Mexico external to 

the Mexican Wolf Experimental 

Population Area (MWEPA). The EIS will 

analyze the environmental 

consequences of a range of alternatives 

to the proposed action that include: 

revisions to the geographic boundaries 

of the MWEPA and Blue Range Wolf 

Recovery Area (BRWRA), modifications 

to the regulations for management of the 

nonessential experimental population of 

Mexican wolves, and implementation of 

a management plan for Mexican wolves 

in areas of Arizona and New Mexico 

external to the MWEPA. 

The Service will act as the Lead 

Federal Agency responsible for 

completion of the EIS (40 CFR 1508.16). 

We are requesting those Federal and 

State agencies, local governments, and 

Tribes that may have jurisdiction by law 

or special expertise to serve as 

cooperating agencies in the 

development of the EIS (40 CFR 1501.6 

and 1508.5, 1508.15, 1508.26). 

We are continuing the scoping 

process for this EIS that we began in 

2007. We will use the comments 

received during the 2007 public 

scoping, as well as comments received 

during this scoping period, in the 

preparation of our draft EIS. 

Information Requested 

We are currently seeking comments or 

suggestions from the public,
