B. Background 

The original Chelsea Street Bridge 

was a bascule-type bridge owned by the 

City of Boston and constructed in 1939. 

It spanned the Chelsea River providing 

a means for vehicles to travel between 

Chelsea, MA and East Boston, MA. 

Several petroleum-product transfer 

facilities are located on the Chelsea 

River, upstream and downstream of the 

Chelsea Street Bridge. Transit of tank 

vessels through the bridge is necessary 

to access the petroleum facilities 

upstream of the bridge. The narrow, 

ninety-six foot horizontal span created a 

narrow passage through the bridge for 

larger vessels. Adding to the difficulty is 

the close proximity of neighboring shore 

structures and, at times, vessels moored 

at the Sunoco Logistics facility 

downstream of the bridge on the East 

Boston side. These factors led to the 

establishment of the present safety zone 

regulation which restricts certain vessel 

passage through the Chelsea Street 

Bridge based on vessel dimensional 

criteria, assist tug support, and daylight 

restrictions. 

Since the implementation of the 

regulations, physical changes have 

occurred within the confines of the 

safety zone. A new vertical lift span 

bridge with a 175 foot vertical clearance 

and a 175 foot horizontal navigable 

channel span has been constructed in 

place of the old Chelsea Street Bridge. 

The federal navigational channel has 

been expanded to a width of 175 feet. 

Six new permanent fixed lighted aids to 

navigation structures have been 

installed in the immediate area of the 

bridge to best mark the new channel. 

While the current regulations have 

provided an acceptable level of safety, it 

may be desirable to amend or 

disestablish the current regulation in 

light of the new bridge and navigational 

channel improvements within the area 

of the existing safety zone. 

C. Information requested 

The Coast Guard is seeking comments 

pertaining to the existing safety zone in 

the vicinity of the Chelsea Street Bridge 

in light of the modified waterway. In 

particular, comments addressing the 

need and or relevancy of regulations 

governing vessel dimensional 

restrictions, assist tug requirements, and 

transits between sunset and sunrise are 

requested. 

Additionally, the Coast Guard 

welcomes input and possible solutions 

regarding any other navigational and 

waterway safety issue on the Chelsea 

River that is not currently addressed in 

the existing safety zone regulation.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Minnesota; Flint Hills Resources Pine 

Bend 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

an August 29, 2011, request for revision 

to the Minnesota sulfur dioxide State 

Implementation Plan for Flint Hills 

Resources Pine Bend, LLC, in Dakota 

County. This oil refinery is shutting 

down an incinerator, rerouting process 

gases, planning for a new boiler, and 

making other emission limit reductions. 

This revision addresses an important 

safety issue with the current off-gas 

incinerator. Because the revision will 

result in a decrease in sulfur dioxide 

emissions, EPA proposes to approve the 

revision. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 4, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal 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. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the Rules section of this Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: PCAPCD Rule 102 Definitions, 

PCAPCD Rule 301 Nonagricultural 

Burning Smoke Management, PCAPCD 

Rule 302 Agricultural Burning Smoke 

Management, PCAPCD Rule 303 

Prescribed Burning Smoke Management, 

PCAPCD Rule 304 Land Development 

Smoke Management, PCAPCD Rule 305 

Residential Allowable Burning, and 

PCAPCD Rule 306 Open Burning of 

Nonindustrial Wood Waste at 

Designated Disposal Sites. 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 are not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the

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
