amendments submitted on February 13, 

2009. The revised Plan is in response to 

amended emission guidelines (EGs) and

emission limits on Small MWCs as

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

State Plan revisions 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 the direct final 

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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.

Texas: Final Authorization of State 

Hazardous Waste Management 

Program Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The State of Texas has 

applied to the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) for Final authorization of 

the changes to its hazardous waste 

program under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

EPA proposes to grant Final 

authorization to the State of Texas. In 

the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

this Federal Register, EPA is 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
52276 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 170 / Wednesday, September 3, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

authorizing the changes by direct final 

rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior 

to the direct final rule because we 

believe this action is not controversial 

and do not expect comments that 

oppose it. We have explained the 

reasons for this authorization in the 

preamble to the direct final rule. Unless 

we get written comments which oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the direct final rule will become 

effective on the date it establishes, and 

we will not take further action on this 

proposal. If we receive comments that 

oppose this action, we will withdraw 

the direct final rule and it will not take 

effect. We will then respond to public 

comments in a later final rule based on 

this proposal. You may not have another 

opportunity for comment. If you want to 

comment on this action, you must do so 

at this time.

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife; 

90-Day Finding on a Petition To List 

Seven Indo-Pacific Species of 

Pomacentrid Reef Fish as Threatened 

or Endangered Under the Endangered 

Species Act 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Department of Commerce. 

ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition 

finding, request for information. 

SUMMARY: We (NMFS) announce a 90- 

day finding on seven Indo-Pacific 

species included in a petition to list 

eight species of pomacentrid reef fish as 

threatened or endangered under the 

Endangered Species Act (ESA). These 

are the orange clownfish (Amphiprion 

percula) and six other damselfishes: The 

Hawaiian dascyllus (Dascyllus 

albisella), blue-eyed damselfish 

(Plectroglyphidodon johnstonianus), 

black-axil chromis (Chromis 

atripectoralis), blue-green damselfish 

(Chromis viridis), reticulated damselfish 

(Dascyllus reticulatus), and blackbar 

devil or Dick’s damselfish 

(Plectroglyphidodon dickii). Another of 

our regional offices is leading the 

response to the petition to list the 

yellowtail damselfish (Microspathodon 

chrysurus) and a separate 90-day finding 

will be issued later for this species. We 

find that the petition presents 

substantial information indicating that 

the petitioned action may be warranted 

for the orange clownfish (Amphiprion 

percula). We will conduct a status 

review for this species to determine if 

the petitioned action is warranted. To 

ensure that the status review is 

comprehensive, we are soliciting 

scientific and commercial information 

pertaining to Amphiprion percula from 

any interested party. We find that the 

petition fails to present substantial 

scientific or commercial information 

indicating that the petitioned action 

may be warranted for the remaining six 

petitioned Indo-Pacific species: The 

Hawaiian dascyllus (Dascyllus 

albisella), reticulated damselfish 

(Dascyllus reticulatus), blue-eyed 

damselfish (Plectroglyphidodon 

johnstonianus), black-axil chromis 

(Chromis atripectoralis), blue-green 

damselfish (Chromis viridis), and 

blackbar devil or Dick’s damselfish 

(Plectroglyphidodon dickii). 

DATES: Information and comments on 

the subject action must be received by 

November 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments, 

information, or data on this document, 

identified by the code NOAA–NMFS–
