Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 165 / Thursday, August 25, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 58397 

Small businesses may send comments 

on the actions of Federal employees 

who enforce, or otherwise determine 

compliance with, Federal regulations to 

the Small Business and Agriculture 

Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman 

and the Regional Small Business 

Regulatory Fairness Boards. The 

Ombudsman evaluates these actions 

annually and rates each agency’s 

responsiveness to small business. If you 

wish to comment on actions by 

employees of the Coast Guard, call 1– 

888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). The 

Coast Guard will not retaliate against 

small entities that question or complain 

about this rule or any policy or action 

of the Coast Guard. 

C. Collection of Information 

This rule will not call for a new 

collection of information under the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501–3520). 

D. Federalism 

A rule has implications for federalism 

under Executive Order 13132, 

Federalism, if it has a substantial direct 

effect on the States, on the relationship 

between the national government and 

the States, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government. We have 

analyzed this rule under that Order and 

determined that it is consistent with the 

fundamental federalism principles and 

preemption requirements described in 

E.O. 13132. 

Also, this rule does not have tribal 

implications under Executive Order 

13175, Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments, 

because it does not have a substantial 

direct effect on one or more Indian 

tribes, on the relationship between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

or on the distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes. If you 

believe this rule has implications for 

federalism or Indian tribes, please 

contact the person listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section 

above. 

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires 

Federal agencies to assess the effects of 

their discretionary regulatory actions. In 

particular, the Act addresses actions 

that may result in the expenditure by a 

State, local, or tribal government, in the 

aggregate, or by the private sector of 

$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or 

more in any one year. Though this rule 

will not result in such expenditure, we 

do discuss the effects of this rule 

elsewhere in this preamble. 

F. Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 

U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have 

determined that this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule involves 

establishment of a security zone lasting 

only 3 hours on the navigable waters of 

San Diego Bay. It is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. An 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this rule. 

G. Protest Activities 

The Coast Guard respects the First 

Amendment rights of protesters. 

Protesters are asked to contact the 

person listed in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

coordinate protest activities so that your 

message can be received without 

jeopardizing the safety or security of 

people, places or vessels.

Incorporation by Reference 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
58398 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 165 / Thursday, August 25, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

submitted by the State of Wyoming on 

July 1, 2014. The submittal requests SIP 

revisions to the State’s Incorporation by 

reference section as well as an

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is the EPA using a direct final 

rule? 

The EPA is publishing this rule 

without a prior proposed rule because 

we view this as a noncontroversial 

action and anticipate no adverse 

comment. However, in the ‘‘Proposed 

Rules’’ section of today’s Federal 

Register, we are publishing a separate 

document that will serve as the 

proposed rule to approve the SIP 

revisions if adverse comments are 

received on this direct final rule. We 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. For further information about 

commenting on this rule, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

If the EPA receives adverse comment, 

we will publish a timely withdrawal in 

the Federal Register informing the 

public that this direct final rule will not 

take effect. We anticipate that we would 

address all public comments in any 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. The EPA will consider 

all comments received, if any, and take 

appropriate action in accordance with 

such comments. 

II. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for the EPA? 

A. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to the EPA through 

www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly 

mark the part or all of the information 

that you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD ROM that 

you mail to the EPA, mark the outside 

of the disk or CD ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD ROM the specific information that is 

claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

III. Analysis of the State Submittal 

In a July 1, 2014 submittal, Wyoming 

requested revisions affecting the SIP 

involving Chapter 8, Nonattainment 

Area Regulations, Section 5, Ozone 

nonattainment emission inventory rule, 

and Section 10, Incorporation by 

reference. Chapter 8, Section 5 of 

Wyoming’s SIP was previously the 

Incorporation by reference section due 

to the fact that on August 15, 2013 the 

EPA approved a revision that 

reorganized Chapter 8, and added 

Section 5 (78 FR 49685). In response to 

the July 1, 2014 submittal, the EPA is 

now approving a change that will make 

Section 10 the Incorporation by 

reference section instead of Section 5. In 

addition to this administrative change of 

the Wyoming Incorporation by reference 

section, the State is seeking to update 

the language by changing the date of the 

citation in this Incorporation by 

reference section from 2011 to 2012. 

The EPA approves these revisions. 

Moreover, since Chapter 8, Section 5 

is now vacant, Wyoming is seeking to 

amend its SIP by adding a new emission 

inventory provision to Section 5. The 

Ozone Nonattainment Emission 

Inventory Rule is a new rule to establish 

requirements for the submittal of 

emissions inventories from facilities or 

sources located in an ozone 

nonattainment area pursuant to the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), Section 182. The EPA approves 

this revision. 

IV. What action is the EPA taking 

today? 

The EPA is taking direct final action 

to approve the SIP revisions submitted 

by the State of Wyoming on July 1, 

2014. The EPA is approving the 

proposed SIP revisions as a direct final 

action without prior proposal because 

the agency views the revisions as 

noncontroversial and anticipates no 

adverse comments. However, in the 

Proposed Rules section of today’s 

Federal Register publication, the EPA is 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

SIP revisions if adverse comments are 

filed. This rule will be effective October 

24, 2016 without further notice unless 

the Agency receives adverse comments 

by September 26, 2016. If the EPA 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 165 / Thursday, August 25, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 58399 

1 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

receives adverse comments, the EPA 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect. The 

EPA will address all public comments 

in a subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. The EPA will not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. 

Please note that if the 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, the EPA may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of the 

Wyoming rules described in the 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

later. Therefore, these materials have 

been approved by the EPA for inclusion 

in the State Implementation Plan, have 

been incorporated by reference by the 

EPA into that plan, are fully federally 

enforceable under Sections 110 and 113 

of the CAA as of the effective date of the 

final rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and 

will be incorporated by reference by the 

Director of the Federal Register in the 

next update to the SIP compilation.1

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these materials generally 

available through www.regulations.gov 

and/or at the EPA Region 8 Office 

(please contact the person identified in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this preamble for more 

information). 

VI. Statutory and Executive Orders 

Review 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

federal regulations 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 

CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state actions, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. Accordingly, this direct final action 

merely approves a state law as meeting 

federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

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

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact in a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide the 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 SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where the EPA or an Indian 

tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. Section 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. The EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule 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. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. Section 804(2). 

Under Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by October 24, 2016. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this action 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. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of today’s Federal Register, rather than 

file an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

the EPA can withdraw this direct final 

rule and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See Section 

307(b)(2).)

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the State of North Carolina 

through the North Carolina Division of 

Air Quality (NC DAQ) on May 31, 2013. 

North Carolina’s May 31, 2013, SIP 

revision (Progress Report) addresses 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or Act) and EPA’s rules that require 

each state to submit periodic reports 

describing progress towards reasonable 

progress goals (RPGs) established for 

regional haze and a determination of the 

adequacy of the state’s existing SIP 

addressing regional haze (regional haze 

plan). EPA is approving North 

Carolina’s Progress Report on the basis 

that it addresses the progress report and 

adequacy determination requirements 

for the first implementation period for 

regional haze. 

DATES: This rule will be effective 

September 26, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under the Regional Haze Rule,1 each 

state was required to submit its first 

implementation plan addressing 

regional haze visibility impairment to 

EPA no later than December 17, 2007. 

See 40 CFR 51.308(b). North Carolina 

submitted its regional haze plan on that 

date, and like many other states subject 

to the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), 

relied on CAIR to satisfy best available 

retrofit technology (BART) requirements 

for emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) 

and nitrogen oxides (NOX) from electric 

generating units (EGUs) in the State. On 

June 7, 2012, EPA finalized a limited 

disapproval of North Carolina’s 

December 17, 2007, regional haze plan 

submission because of deficiencies 

arising from the State’s reliance on CAIR 

to satisfy certain regional haze 

requirements. See 77 FR 33642. In a 

separate action taken on June 27, 2012, 

EPA finalized a limited approval of 

North Carolina’s December 17, 2007, 

regional haze plan submission, as 

meeting some of the applicable regional 

haze requirements as set forth in 

sections 169A and 169B of the CAA and 

in 40 CFR 51.300–308. See 77 FR 38185. 

On October 31, 2014, the State 

submitted a regional haze plan revision 

to correct the deficiencies identified in 

the June 27, 2012, limited disapproval 

by replacing reliance on CAIR with 

reliance on the State’s Clean 

Smokestacks Act (CSA) as an alternative
