standard for VOM granted to Royal 

Fiberglass Pools, Inc. (Royal), for the 

facility located in Dix, Illinois. EPA 

approved the adjusted standard for 

Royal on June 27, 2011. Due to a change 

in ownership, the facility is now owned 

by Latham Pool Products, Inc., d/b/a 

Viking Pools. The revision amends the 

adjusted standard for VOM currently 

approved in the SIP for the facility to 

reflect the change in ownership. This 

revision does not change any of the 

VOM control requirements and will not 

result in an increase in VOM emissions 

at the facility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules section of this Federal Register, 

EPA is approving the State’s SIP 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because EPA 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withdrawn and all public comments 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.

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Placer County 

Air Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) 

and South Coast Air Quality 

Management District (SCAQMD) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Placer County Air 

Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) and 

South Coast Air Quality Management 

District (SCAQMD) portions of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern volatile 

organic compound (VOC) emissions 

from the manufacture of medium 

density fiberboard, melamine and 

phenol resins used in plasticizing paper 

and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions 

from stationary internal combustion 

engines. We are proposing to rescind 

local rules that regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by August 13, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number EPA–R09– 

OAR–2014–0323, by one of the 

following methods:

Instructions: All comments will be 

included in the public docket without 

change and may be made available 

online at www.regulations.gov, 

including any personal information 

provided, unless the comment includes 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information that 

you consider CBI or otherwise protected 

should be clearly identified as such and 

should not be submitted through 

www.regulations.gov or email. 

www.regulations.gov is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, and EPA will not know 

your identity or contact information 

unless you provide it in the body of 

your comment. If you send email 

directly to EPA, your email address will 

be automatically captured and included 

as part of the public comment. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

Docket: Generally, documents in the 

docket for this action are available 

electronically at www.regulations.gov 

and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, 

California 94105–3901. While all 

documents in the docket are listed at

Manufacturing;’’ PCAPCD Rule 230, 

‘‘Plastic Products and Materials—Paper 

Treating Operations;’’ and SCAQMD 

Rule 1110, ‘‘Emissions From Stationary 

Internal Combustion Engines 

(Demonstration).’’ In the Rules and 

Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are rescinding these local

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 134 / Monday, July 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules 40703 

rules in a direct final action without

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 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comments on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

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 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register document of May 19, 2014. In 

that document, the Agency requests 

comment on the information that should 

be reported or disclosed for hydraulic 

fracturing chemical substances and 

mixtures and the mechanism for 

obtaining this information. This 

mechanism could be regulatory (under 

the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) section 8(a) and/or section 8(d)), 

voluntary, or a combination of both and 

could include best management 

practices, third-party certification and 

collection, and incentives for disclosure 

of this information. In addition, the 

Agency is seeking comment on ways of 

minimizing reporting burdens and costs 

and of avoiding the duplication of State 

and other Federal agency information 

collections, while at the same time 

maximizing data available for EPA risk 

characterization, external transparency, 

and public understanding. Also, EPA is 

soliciting comments on incentives and 

recognition programs that could be used 

to support the development and use of 

safer chemical substances and mixture 

in hydraulic fracturing. EPA is hereby 

extending the comment period, which 

was set to end on August 18, 2014, to 

September 18, 2014.

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions; 

Environmental Review Process for 

Fishery Management Actions 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. 

SUMMARY: NMFS withdraws a proposed 

rule that would have established new 

regulations pertaining to compliance 

with the National Environmental Policy 

Act (NEPA) in the context of fishery 

management actions developed 

pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens 

Fishery Conservation and Management 

Act (MSA). Instead of going forward 

with a final rule directly resulting from 

the 2008 proposed rule, NMFS issued 

an internal policy on February 19, 2013. 

This policy, entitled ‘‘National 

Environmental Policy Act Compliance 

for Council-Initiated Fishery 

Management Actions under the 

Magnuson-Stevens Act’’ clarifies roles 

and responsibilities of NMFS and the 

Regional Fishery Management Councils 

(Councils), explains timing and 

procedural linkages, provides guidance 

on documentation needs, and fosters 

partnerships and cooperation between 

NMFS and Councils on NEPA 

compliance. 

NMFS consulted with the Councils 

and with the Council on Environmental 

Quality (CEQ) on proposed revisions to 

the 2013 NMFS NEPA policy directive, 

and based on those consultations NMFS 

now proposes to use this policy as a 

basis for issuing revised and updated 

NEPA procedures for MSA actions in 

the form of a line-office supplement to 

NOAA Administrative Order (NAO) 

216–6. On June 30, 2014, NMFS 

published a Federal Register notice of 

availability of the draft revised and 

updated NEPA procedures for MSA 

actions and requested public comments, 

with a 90-day public comment period.
