DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS 

AFFAIRS 

38 CFR Part 38 

RIN 2900–AP75 

Authority To Solicit Gifts and 

Donations 

AGENCY: Department of Veterans Affairs. 

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of 

effective date. 

SUMMARY: On July 11, 2016, the 

Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 

published a direct final rule amending 

its regulation that governs soliciting 

contributions from the public by 

officials and employees of NCA, or 

authorizing the use of officials’ or 

employees’ names, name of the 

Secretary, or the name of VA for the 

purpose of making a gift or donation to 

VA. VA received two supportive 

comments and no adverse comments 

concerning the direct final rule and its 

companion substantially identical 

proposed rule published in the Federal 

Register on the same date. This 

document confirms that the direct final 

rule became effective on September 9, 

2016. In a companion document in this 

issue of the Federal Register, we are 

withdrawing as unnecessary the 

proposed rule. 

DATES: The effective date of September 

9, 2016, for the direct final rule 

published July 11, 2016, 81 FR 44792, 

is confirmed. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Thomas Howard, Chief of Staff, National 

Cemetery Administration (NCA), 

Department of Veterans Affairs, (40A), 

810 Vermont Avenue NW., Washington, 

DC 20420, (202) 461–6215. (This is not 

a toll-free number.) 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a direct 

final rule published in the Federal 

Register on July 11, 2016, at 81 FR 

44792, VA amended 38 Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) 38.603(b), giving the 

Under Secretary of Memorial Affairs 

(USMA), or his designee, authority to 

solicit gifts and donations, or approve 

the solicitation of gifts and donations 

from the public. VA published a 

companion substantially-identical 

proposed rule on the same date, at 81 

FR 44827, to serve as a proposal for the 

revisions in the direct final rule in case 

adverse comments were received. The 

direct final rule and proposed rule each 

provided a 30-day comment period that 

ended on August 10, 2016. No adverse 

comments were received. Two 

comments that supported the 

rulemaking were received from the 

general public. VA is not making any 

changes to this rulemaking based on the 

comments. 

Under the direct final rule procedures 

that were described in 81 FR 44827 and 

81 FR 44792, the direct final rule 

became effective on September 9, 2016, 

because no adverse comments were 

received within the comment period. In 

a companion document in this issue of 

the Federal Register, VA is withdrawing 

the proposed rulemaking, RIN 2900– 

AP74, published at 81 FR 44827, as 

unnecessary. 

Signing Authority 

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or 

designee, approved this document and 

authorized the undersigned to sign and 

submit the document to the Office of the 

Federal Register for publication 

electronically as an official document of 

the Department of Veterans Affairs. Gina 

S. Farrisee, Deputy Chief of Staff, 

Department of Veterans Affairs, 

approved this document on September 

16, 2016, for publication. 

Dated: September 19, 2016.

state adopt and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each NAAQS 

promulgated by EPA, commonly 

referred to as an ‘‘infrastructure SIP.’’ 

Specifically, EPA is approving North 

Carolina’s March 24, 2016, SIP 

submission and the portions of 

Alabama’s December 9, 2015, SIP 

submission addressing interstate 

transport requirements for the 2010 NO2

NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

By statute, SIPs meeting the 

requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and 

(2) of the CAA are to be submitted by 

states within three years after 

promulgation of a new or revised 

NAAQS to provide for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of the new or revised 

NAAQS. EPA has historically referred to 

these SIP submissions made for the 

purpose of satisfying the requirements 

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

‘‘infrastructure SIP’’ submissions. 

Sections 110(a)(1) and (2) require states 

to address basic SIP elements such as 

requirements for monitoring, basic 

program requirements, and legal 

authority that are designed to assure 

attainment and maintenance of the 

newly established or revised NAAQS. 

More specifically, section 110(a)(1) 

provides the procedural and timing 

requirements for infrastructure SIPs. 

Section 110(a)(2) lists specific elements 

that states must meet for the 

infrastructure SIP requirements related 

to a newly established or revised 

NAAQS. The contents of an 

infrastructure SIP submission may vary 

depending upon the data and analytical 

tools available to the state, as well as the 

provisions already contained in the 

state’s implementation plan at the time 

in which the state develops and submits 

the submission for a new or revised 

NAAQS. 

Section 110(a)(2)(D) has two 

components: 110(a)(2)(D)(i) and 

110(a)(2)(D)(ii). Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) 

includes four distinct components, 

commonly referred to as ‘‘prongs,’’ that 

must be addressed in infrastructure SIP 

submissions. The first two prongs, 

which are codified in section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), are provisions that 

prohibit any source or other type of 

emissions activity in one state from 

contributing significantly to 

nonattainment of the NAAQS in another 

state (prong 1) and from interfering with 

maintenance of the NAAQS in another 

state (prong 2). EPA sometimes refers to 

these two prongs conjointly as the 

‘‘good neighbor’’ provision of the CAA. 

The third and fourth prongs, which are 

codified in section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II), are 

provisions that prohibit emissions 

activity in one state from interfering 

with measures required to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality in 

another state (prong 3) and from 

interfering with measures to protect 

visibility in another state (prong 4). 

Section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) requires SIPs to 

include provisions ensuring compliance 

with sections 115 and 126 of the Act, 

relating to interstate and international 

pollution abatement. 

In a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) published on August 1, 2016 

(81 FR 50409), EPA proposed to approve 

North Carolina’s March 24, 2016, SIP 

submission and the portions of 

Alabama’s December 9, 2015, SIP 

submission addressing interstate 

transport requirements for the 2010 NO2

NAAQS. The NPRM provides additional 

detail regarding the rationale for EPA’s 

actions, including further discussion of 

the requirements for prongs 1 and 2. 

Comments on the proposed rulemaking 

were due on or before August 31, 2016. 

EPA received no adverse comments on 

the proposed actions. All other 

applicable infrastructure SIP 

requirements for Alabama and North 

Carolina for the 2010 1-hour NO2

NAAQS have been or will be addressed 

in separate rulemakings. 

II. Final Actions 

As described previously, EPA is 

approving North Carolina’s March 24, 

2016, SIP revision and the portions of 

Alabama’s December 9, 2015, SIP 

revision addressing prongs 1 and 2 of 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 2010 

1-hour NO2 NAAQS. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable federal regulations. 

See 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, these actions 

merely approve state law as meeting 

federal requirements and do not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

these actions: 

• Are not ‘‘significant regulatory 

actions’’ 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); 

• do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• are 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.); 

• do not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 


ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
65288 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 184 / Thursday, September 22, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• are not economically significant 

regulatory actions based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• are not significant regulatory 

actions subject to Executive Order 

13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• are 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 

• do 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 SIPs are 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 rules do not have tribal 

implications as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will they impose substantial 

direct costs on tribal governments or 

preempt tribal law. 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing these actions and 

other required information to the U.S. 

Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives, and the Comptroller 

General of the United States prior to 

publication of the rule in the Federal 

Register. A major rule cannot take effect 

until 60 days after it is published in the 

Federal Register. These actions are not 

a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of these 

actions must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by November 21, 

2016. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of these actions for the purposes of 

judicial review nor does it extend the 

time within which a petition for judicial 

review may be filed, and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. These actions may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. See section 

307(b)(2).

Thiabendazole; Pesticide Tolerances 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes 

tolerances for residues of thiabendazole 

in or on the legume vegetable group 6 

and foliage of legume vegetable group 7. 

Syngenta Crop Protection requested 

these tolerances under the Federal Food, 

Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). This 

regulation also assigns an expiration 

date to existing tolerances for bean, dry, 

seed at 0.1 part per million (ppm) and 

soybean at 0.1 ppm as well as removes 

a threshold of regulation determination 

for seed treatment use of thiabendazole 

on dry pea (including field pea, pigeon 

pea, chickpea or lentil). Lastly, this 

regulation establishes a time-limited 

tolerance on sweet potato. The timelimited tolerance is in response to EPA’s 

granting of an emergency exemption 

under the Federal Insecticide, 

Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act 

(FIFRA). The time-limited tolerance will 

expire and be revoked on December 31, 

2019. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

September 22, 2016. Objections and 

requests for hearings must be received 

on or before November 21, 2016, and 

must be filed in accordance with the 

instructions provided in 40 CFR part 

178 (see also Unit I.C. of the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION).
