Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 91 / Wednesday, May 10, 2000 / Proposed Rules 30045

E.O. 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to

minimize litigation, eliminate

ambiguity, and reduce burden.

Protection of Children

We have analyzed this proposed rule

under E.O. 13045, Protection of

Children from Environmental Health

Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not

an economically significant rule and

does not concern an environmental risk

to health or risk to safety that may

disproportionately affect children.

Environment

We considered the environmental

impact of this proposed rule and

concluded that, under figure 2–1,

paragraph (32)(e), of Commandant

Instruction M16475.lC, this proposed

rule is categorically excluded from

further environmental documentation.

This proposal will change an existing

special drawbridge operating regulation

promulgated by a Coast Guard Bridge

Administration Program action. A

‘‘Categorical Exclusion Determination’’

is available in the docket where

indicated under ADDRESSES.

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 117

Bridges.

For the reasons set out in the

preamble, the Coast Guard proposes to

amend part 117 of title 33, Code of

Federal Regulations, as follows:

PART 117—DRAWBRIDGE

OPERATION REGULATIONS

1. The authority citation for part 117

continues to read as follows:

Authority: 33 U.S.C. 499; 49 CFR 1.46; 33

CFR 1.05–1(g); section 117.255 also issued

under the authority of Pub. L. 102–587, 106

Stat. 5039.

2. Section 117.436 is revised to read

as follows:

§ 117.436 Chef Menteur Pass.

The draw of the U.S. Highway 90

bridge, mile 2.8, at Lake Catherine, shall

open on signal; except that, from 5:30

a.m. to 7:30 a.m., Monday through

Friday except Federal holidays, the

draw need open only on the hour and

on the half-hour for the passage of

vessels. The draw shall open at any time

for a vessel in distress.

Dated: May 1, 2000.

Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Commander, 8th

Implementation Plans: Oregon RACT

Rule

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of

Oregon for the purpose of revising the

RACT Rule. The SIP revision was

submitted by the State to satisfy certain

Federal Clean Air Act requirements for

a SIP. In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, the 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 amendment 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 action, no further activity is

contemplated. If the 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. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period. Any

parties interested in commenting on this

action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received in writing by June 9, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Christine Lemme ́,

Environmental Protection Specialist

(OAQ–107), Office of Air Quality, at the

EPA Regional Office listed below.

Copies of the state submittal are

available at the following addresses for

inspection during normal business

hours. The interested persons wanting

to examine these documents should

make an appointment with the

West Virginia: Final Authorization of

State Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: West Virginia has applied to

EPA for Final authorization of the

changes to its hazardous waste program

under the Resource Conservation and

Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA proposes to

grant final authorization to West

Virginia. In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

authorizing the changes by an

immediate final rule. EPA did not make

a proposal prior to the immediate final

rule because we believe this action is

not controversial and do not expect

comments that oppose it. We have

explained the reasons for this

authorization in the preamble to the

immediate final rule. Unless we get

written comments which oppose this

authorization during the comment

period, the immediate final rule will

become effective on the date it

establishes, and we will not take further

action on this proposal. If we get

comments that oppose this action, we

will withdraw the immediate final rule

and it will not take effect. We will then

respond to public comments in a later

final rule based on this proposal. You

may not have another opportunity for

comment. If you want to comment on

this action, you must do so at this time.

DATES: Send your written comments by

June 9, 2000.

Hazardous Waste Management

Program Revisions for State of

Oklahoma

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule and request for

comment.

SUMMARY: The EPA (also, ‘‘the Agency’’

in this preamble) proposes to grant final

authorization to the hazardous waste

program revisions submitted by the

State of Oklahoma for its hazardous

waste program revisions, specifically,

revisions needed to meet Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)

Cluster VIII which contains Federal

rules promulgated from July 1, 1997, to

June 30, 1998. The RCRA Cluster VIII

rules are listed in the rules section of

this Federal Register (FR). In the ‘‘Rules

and Regulations’’ section of this FR,

EPA is authorizing the State’s program

revisions as an immediate final rule

without prior proposal because the EPA

views this action as noncontroversial

and anticipates no adverse comments.

The Agency has explained the reasons

for this authorization in the preamble to

the immediate final rule. If the EPA

does not receive adverse written

comments, the immediate final rule will

become effective and the Agency will

not take further action on this proposal.

If the EPA receives adverse written

comments, a second Federal Register

document will be published before the

time the immediate final rule takes

effect. The second document will

withdraw the immediate final rule or

identify the issues raised, respond to the

comments and affirm that the

immediate final rule will take effect as

scheduled. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before June 9, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to
