State implementation plan (SIP). The 

regulations affected by this update have 

been previously submitted by the 

Delaware Department of Natural 

Resources and Environmental Control 

(DNREC) and approved by EPA. This 

update affects the SIP materials that are 

available for public inspection at the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA), the Air and 

Radiation Docket and Information 

Center located at EPA Headquarters in 

Washington, D.C., and the Regional 

Office.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is 

a living document which the State 

revises as necessary to address the 

unique air pollution problems. 

Therefore, EPA from time to time must 

take action on SIP revisions containing 

new and/or revised regulations to make 

them part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 

(62 FR 27968), EPA revised the 

procedures for incorporating by 

reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a 

result of consultations between EPA and 

the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). 

The description of the revised SIP 

document, IBR procedures and 

‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997 Federal Register document. On 

December 7, 1998 (63 FR 67407), EPA 

published a document in the Federal 

Register beginning the new IBR 

procedure for Delaware. On June 21, 

2004 (69 FR 34285), EPA published an 

update to the IBR material for Delaware. 

In this document, EPA is doing the 

following: 

1. Announcing the update to the IBR 

material as of February 15, 2007. 

2. Making corrections to the following 

entries listed in the paragraph 52.420(c) 

chart, as described below: 

a. Revising the title of Regulation 

1102 (formerly Regulation 2) so that it 

restores the text of the revised title as 

published in the December 7, 2006 

Federal Register (71 FR 70883 at 

70885). 

b. Adding an entry for Regulation 

1102, Appendix A with a State effective 

date of June 1, 1997. EPA had approved 

the addition of this appendix as a SIP 

revision on January 13, 2000 (65 FR 

2005), but had inadvertently omitted a 

corresponding entry as an addition to 40 

CFR 52.420(c) at the time of EPA’s 

approval action. 

c. For the entries Regulation 1102, 

Sections 1, 6, 11, and 12, adding text in 

the ‘‘Additional explanation’’ column to 

indicate the SIP effective date. 

d. For the entry Regulation 24, 

Section 10, removing the text from the 

‘‘Additional explanation’’ column. 

e. For the entry Regulation 31, 

Appendix 6(a)(9), correcting a 

typographical error in the ‘‘Title/ 

subject’’ column. 

3. Making corrections to the following 

entries listed in the paragraph 52.420(d) 

chart, as described below: 

a. Renaming the title of the second 

column from ‘‘Title/subject’’ to ‘‘Permit 

number.’’

b. Entry for Phoenix Steel Co.—

Electric Arc Furnaces Charging & 

Tapping #2—Correcting a typographical 

error in the ‘‘Permit number’’ column. 

EPA has determined that today’s rule 

falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ exemption 

in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedures Act (APA), 

which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’

authorizes agencies to dispense with 

public participation, and section 

553(d)(3), which allows an agency to 

make a rule effective immediately 

(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed 

effective date otherwise provided for in 

the APA). Today’s rule simply codifies 

provisions which are already in effect as 

a matter of law in Federal and approved 

State programs. Under section 553 of the 

APA, an agency may find good cause 

where procedures are ‘‘impractical, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Public comment is 

‘‘unnecessary’’ and contrary to the 

‘‘public interest’’ since the codification 

only reflects existing law. Immediate 

notice in the CFR benefits the public by 

removing outdated citations and 

incorrect chart entries. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by State law, it 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). This rule also does not 

have tribal implications because it will 

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, as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
15840 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 63 / Tuesday, April 3, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

Federal standard, and does not alter the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established in the 

Clean Air Act. This rule also is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

‘‘Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), 

because it approves a state rule 

implementing a Federal standard. In 

reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role 

is to approve state choices, provided 

that they meet the criteria of the Clean 

Air Act. In this context, in the absence 

of a prior existing requirement for the 

State to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a SIP submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, 

to use VCS in place of a SIP submission 

that otherwise satisfies the provisions of 

the Clean Air Act. Thus, the 

requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This rule does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

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

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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 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. This rule is not a 

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

804(2). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

EPA has also determined that the 

provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the 

Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for 

judicial review are not applicable to this 

action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for 

each individual component of the 

Delaware SIP compilations had 

previously afforded interested parties 

the opportunity to file a petition for 

judicial review in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit within 60 days of such 

rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no 

need in this action to reopen the 60-day 

period for filing such petitions for 

judicial review for this ‘‘Identification of 

plan’’ reorganization update action for 

Delaware.

[Docket No. 070213033–7033–01; I.D. 

032807A] 

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic 

Zone Off Alaska; Pacific Cod by 

Catcher Vessels Less Than 60 ft (18.3 

m) LOA Using Pot or Hook-and-Line 

Gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands Management Area 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure. 

SUMMARY: NMFS is prohibiting directed 

fishing for Pacific cod by catcher vessels 

less than 60 ft (18.3 meters (m)) length 

overall (LOA) using pot or hook-andline gear in the Bering Sea and Aleutian 

Islands management area (BSAI). This 

action is necessary to prevent exceeding 

the 2007 Pacific cod total allowable 

catch (TAC) allocated to catcher vessels 

less than 60 ft (18.3 m) LOA using pot 

or hook-and-line gear in the BSAI. 

DATES: Effective 1200 hrs, Alaska local 

time (A.l.t.), March 30, 2007, through 

2400 hrs, A.l.t., December 31, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Jennifer Hogan, 907–586–7228. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: NMFS 

manages the groundfish fishery in the 

BSAI according to the Fishery 

Management Plan for Groundfish of the 

Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands 

Management Area (FMP) prepared by 

the North Pacific Fishery Management 

Council under authority of the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act. 

Regulations governing fishing by U.S. 

vessels in accordance with the FMP 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 

and 50 CFR part 679. 

The 2007 and 2008 final harvest 

specification for groundfish in the BSAI 

(72 FR 9451, March 2, 2007), and the 

reallocation on March 5, 2007 (72 FR 

10428, March 8, 2007) allocated a 

directed fishing allowance for Pacific 

cod of 2,321 metric tons to catcher 

vessels less than 60 ft (18.3 m) LOA 

using pot or hook-and-line gear in the 

BSAI. See § 679.20(c)(3)(iii) and (c)(5), 

and (a)(7)(i)(C). 

In accordance with § 679.20(d)(1)(iii), 

the Regional Administrator finds that 

the 2007 Pacific cod directed fishing 

allowance allocated to catcher vessels 

less than 60 ft (18.3 m) LOA using pot 

or hook-and-line gear in the BSAI has 

been reached. Consequently, NMFS is 

prohibiting directed fishing for Pacific 

cod by catcher vessels less than 60 ft 

(18.3 m) LOA using pot or hook-andline gear in the BSAI. 

After the effective date of this closure 

the maximum retainable amounts at 

§ 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time 

during a trip. 

Classification 

This action responds to the best 

available information recently obtained 

from the fishery. The Assistant 

Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA 

(AA), finds good cause to waive the 

requirement to provide prior notice and 

opportunity for public comment
