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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Placer County Air 

Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) 

portion of the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern volatile organic 

compound (VOC), oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX), and particulate matter (PM) 

emissions from open burning. We are 

proposing to approve local rules to 

regulate this emission source under the 

Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by March 4, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number EPA–R09–

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

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 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment 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: 

Public Comments 

We will accept written comments and

comment period on our proposed rule 

that was published in the Federal 

Register on June 11, 2012 (77 FR 34464), 

our draft economic analysis of the 

proposed critical habitat designation, 

and the amended required 

determinations section provided in this 

document. 

On June 11, 2012, we published a 

proposal (77 FR 34464) to list 38 species 

as endangered, reaffirm the listing of 2 

endemic Hawaiian plants currently 

listed as endangered, and designate 

critical habitat for 39 of these 40 plant 

and animal species on the Hawaiian 

Islands of Molokai, Lanai, and Maui; 

designate critical habitat for 11 plant 

and animal species that are already 

listed as endangered, and revise critical 

habitat for 85 plant species that are 

already listed as endangered or 

threatened on the Hawaiian Islands of 

Molokai, Lanai, Maui, and Kahoolawe. 

Later this year, we will publish two 

separate final rules: One concerning the 

listing determinations described above, 

and the other concerning the critical 

habitat determinations described above. 

The final listing rule will publish under 

the existing Docket No. FWS–R1–ES– 

2011–0098, and the final critical habitat 

designation will publish under Docket 

No. FWS–R1–ES–2013–0003. 

We request that you provide 

comments specifically on our listing 

determination under Docket No. FWS– 

R1–ES–2011–0098. We will consider 

information and recommendations from 

all interested parties. We are 

particularly interested in comments 

concerning: 

(1) Biological, commercial trade, or 

other relevant data concerning threats 

(or the lack thereof) to the 40 species 

proposed or reevaluated for listing, and 

regulations that may be addressing those 

threats. 

(2) Additional information concerning 

the range, distribution, and population 

sizes of each of the 40 species proposed 

or reevaluated for listing, including the 

locations of any additional populations 

of these species. 

(3) Any information on the biological 

or ecological requirements of the 40 

species proposed or reevaluated for 

listing. 

(4) Comments on our proposal to 

revise taxonomic classification with
