Air Plan Approval; Alabama: Volatile 

Organic Compounds 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

revision to the Alabama State 

Implementation Plan submitted by the 

Alabama Department of Environmental 

Management on October 26, 2015. The 

revision modifies the definition of 

‘‘volatile organic compounds’’ (VOC). 

Specifically, the revision adds three 

compounds to the list of those excluded 

from the VOC definition on the basis 

that these compounds make a negligible 

contribution to tropospheric ozone 

formation. This action is being taken 

pursuant to the Clean Air Act. 

DATES: Written comments must be

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

State’s implementation plan revision 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 rule, 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withdrawn and all public comments 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 on this 

document. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this document should 

do so at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. A detailed 

technical support document (TSD) is 

included in this rulemaking docket to 

address the following: A description of 

Clean Air Act section 110(a)(1) and (2) 

infrastructure SIPs; the applicable 

elements under sections 110(a)(1) and 

(2); EPA’s approach to the review of 

infrastructure SIP submissions, and 

EPA’s evaluation of how Iowa addressed 

the relevant elements of sections 

110(a)(1) and (2). This section provides 

additional information by addressing 

the following questions: 

I. What is being addressed in this document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

The EPA is proposing to partially 

approve and partially disapprove the 

infrastructure SIP submission from the 

State of Iowa received on January 17, 

2013. Specifically, EPA proposes to 

approve the following elements of 

section 110(a)(2): (A), (B), (C), (D)(i)(II)— 

prong 3 only, (E) through (H), and (J) 

through (M). EPA proposes to 

disapprove element (D)(i)(II)—prong 4. 

EPA will not be acting on sections 

(D)(i)(I)—prongs 1 and 2, and (I). 

A Technical Support Document (TSD) 

is included as part of the docket to 

discuss the details of this proposal, 

including analysis of how the SIP meets 

the applicable 110 requirements for 

infrastructure SIPs. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. In addition, as 

explained above and in more detail in 

the TSD which is part of this document, 

the revision meets the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110 and implementing 

regulations. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

The EPA is proposing to partially 

approve and partially disapprove the 

January 17, 2013 infrastructure SIP 

submission from the State of Iowa, 

which addresses the requirements of 

CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as 

applicable to the 2008 ozone NAAQS. 

As stated above, EPA proposes to 

approve the following elements of 

section 110(a)(2): (A), (B), (C), (D)(i)(II)— 

prong 3 only, (E) through (H), and (J) 

through (M). EPA proposes to 

disapprove element (D)(i)(II)—prong 4. 

Details of the submission are addressed 

in a TSD as part of the docket to discuss 

the proposal. 

We are processing this as a proposed 

action because we are soliciting 

comments on this proposed action. 

Final rulemaking will occur after 

consideration of any comments. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Review 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves 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 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). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where 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).

Onshore Oil and Gas Operations; 

Federal and Indian Oil and Gas Leases; 

Onshore Oil and Gas Order Number 1, 

Approval of Operations 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed order. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is proposing to 

amend its existing Onshore Oil and Gas 

Order Number 1 (Onshore Order 1) to 

require the electronic filing (or e-filing) 

of all Applications for Permit to Drill 

(APD) and Notices of Staking (NOS). 

Currently, Onshore Order 1 states that 

an ‘‘operator must file an APD or any 

other required documents in the BLM 

Field Office having jurisdiction over the 

lands described in the application,’’ but 

allows for e-filing of such documents in 

the alternative. This proposal would 

change that structure to make e-filing 

the required method of submission, 

subject to limited exceptions. The BLM 

is making this change to improve the 

efficiency and transparency of the APD 

and NOS processes. 

DATES: Send your comments on this 

proposal to the BLM on or before 

August 29, 2016. The BLM need not 

consider, nor include in the 

administrative record for the final order, 

comments received after this date. If you 

wish to comment on the information 

collection requirements in this proposed 

order, please note that the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) is 

required to make a decision concerning 

the collection of information contained 

in this proposed order between 30 and 

60 days after publication of this 

document in the Federal Register. 

Therefore, a comment to OMB is best 

assured of having its full effect if OMB 

receives it by August 29, 2016.
