service-connected disability, the 

Director of the Compensation Service or 

his or her delegatee, upon field station 

submission, is authorized to approve on 

the basis of the criteria set forth in this 

paragraph (b), an extra-schedular 

evaluation commensurate with the 

actual impairment of earning capacity 

due exclusively to the referred 

disability. The governing norm in these 

exceptional cases is a finding by the 

Director of the Compensation Service or 

delegatee that application of the regular 

schedular standards is impractical 

because the referred disability is so 

exceptional or unusual due to such 

related factors as marked interference 

with employment or frequent periods of 

hospitalization.

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 action 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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.

Procedure Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of 

portions of ten revisions to the 

Louisiana New Source Review (NSR) 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submitted by the Louisiana Department 

of Environmental Quality (LDEQ). These 

revisions to the Louisiana SIP provide 

updates to the minor NSR and 

nonattainment new source review 

(NNSR) permit programs in Louisiana 

contained within the Chapter 5 Permit 

Procedures and Chapter 6 Regulations 

on Control of Emissions through the Use 

of Emission Reduction Credits (ERC) 

Banking rules as initially submitted on 

November 15, 1993, and the subsequent 

rule amendments for Air Permit 

Procedure revisions submitted through 

November 3, 2014. The EPA’s final 

action will incorporate these rules into 

the federally approved SIP. The rules 

generally enhance the SIP and were 

evaluated in accordance with CAA 

guidelines for the EPA action on SIP 

submittals and general rulemaking 

authority. This proposed action is 

consistent with the requirements of 

section 110 of the CAA.
