RIN 2115–AE46

Special Local Regulation; Clifton River

Days, Tennessee River Mile 158 to 160,

Clifton, Tennessee

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.

ACTION: Temporary final rule.

SUMMARY: A temporary special local

regulation is being adopted for the

Clifton River Days. This event will be

held on August 24, 1997 from 9 a.m.

until 5 p.m. at the river front in Clifton,

Tennessee. This regulation is needed to

provide for the safety of life on

navigable waters during the event.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This temporary

regulation is effective from 9 a.m. until

5 p.m. on August 24, 1997.

LTJG Tom Tarrants, Marine Safety

Office, Paducah, KY, Tel: (502) 442–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Regulatory History

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553, a

notice of proposed rulemaking for this

regulation has not been published, and

good cause exists for making them

effective in less than 30 days from the

date of publication. Following normal

rulemaking procedures would have

been impracticable. The details of the

event were not finalized until July 24,

1997, and there was not sufficient time

remaining to publish a proposed rule in

advance of the event or to provide for

a delayed effective date.

Background and Purpose

The marine event requiring this

regulation includes boat drag races on

the river. The event is sponsored by the

Wayne County Jaycees. Spectators will

be able to view the event from areas

designated by the sponsor. Nonparticipating vessels will be able to

transit the area after each race has

ended.

Regulatory Evaluation

This rule is not a significant

regulatory action under section 3(f) of

Executive Order 12866 and does not

require an assessment of potential costs

and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of that

order. It has not been reviewed by the

Office of Management and Budget under

that order. It is not significant under the

regulatory policies and procedures of

the Department of Transportation (DOT)

(44 FR 11040; February 26, 1979). The

Coast Guard expects the economic

impact of this rule to be so minimal that

a full Regulatory Evaluation under

paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies

and procedures of DOT is unnecessary

because of the event’s short duration.

Small Entities

The Coast Guard finds that the impact

on small entities, if any, is not

substantial. Therefore, the Coast Guard

certifies under section 605(b) of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601

et seq.) that this temporary rule will not

have a significant economic impact on

a substantial number of small entities

because of the event’s short duration.

Collection of Information

This rule contains no information

collection requirements under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.).

Federalism Assessment

The Coast Guard has analyzed this

action in accordance with the principles

and criteria of Executive Order 12612

and has determined that this rule does

not raise sufficient federalism

implications to warrant the preparation

of a Federalism Assessment.

Environmental Assessment

The Coast Guard considered the

environmental impact of this rule and

concluded that under section 2.B.2.C. of

Commandant Instruction M16475.1B (as

revised by 61 FR 13563; March 27,

1996), this rule is categorically excluded

from further environmental

documentation.

(a) Regulated Area: Tennessee River

Mile 158 to 160.

provided vessels assigned to patrol the

event.

(1) No spectators shall anchor, block,

loiter in, or impede the through transit

of participants or official patrol vessels

in the regulated area during effective

control the movement of all vessels in

the regulated area. The Patrol

any time it is deemed necessary for the

protection of life and/or property. The

VHF–FM Channel 16 by using the call

OMB Approval Numbers Under the

Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), this

technical amendment amends the table

that lists the Office of Management and

Budget (OMB) control numbers issued

under the PRA for Environmental

Impact Assessment of Nongovernmental

Activities in Antarctica.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule is

effective August 21, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is

today amending the table of currently

approved information collection request

(ICR) control numbers issued by OMB

for various regulations. Today’s

amendment updates the table to list

those information requirements

promulgated under the PRA for

Environmental Impact Assessment of

Nongovernmental Activities in

Antarctica which appeared in the

Federal Register on April 30, 1997 (62

FR 23538–23549). The affected

regulations are codified at title 40 of the

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), part

8. EPA will continue to present OMB

control numbers in a consolidated table

format to be codified in 40 CFR part 9

of the Agency’s regulations, and in each

CFR volume containing EPA

regulations. The table lists the section

numbers with reporting and

recordkeeping requirements, and the

current OMB control numbers. This

listing of the OMB control numbers and

their subsequent codification in the CFR

satisfy the requirements of the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.) and OMB’s implementing

regulations at 5 CFR part 1320.

Because of the importance of

facilitating the prompt entry into force

of Protocol on Environmental Protection

to the Antarctic Treaty, EPA stated in its

Preamble to the final rule that it

believed it had good cause under 5

U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to find that

implementation of notice and comment

procedures for the interim final rule

would be contrary to the public interest

and unnecessary. For these reasons, the

interim final regulations were issued

without notice and an opportunity to

comment. In addition, for the same

reasons, under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the

interim final regulations took effect

immediately upon publication. As a

result, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good

cause’’ under section 553(b)(B) of the

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B)) to amend this table without

prior notice and comment. Due to the

technical nature of the table, further

notice and comment would be

unnecessary.

NOX RACT Determinations for

Individual Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision

submitted by the Commonwealth of

sources located in Pennsylvania. The

intended effect of this action is to

approve source-specific operating

permits that establish the abovementioned RACT requirements in

accordance with the Clean Air Act. This

action is being taken under section 110

of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This action is effective October

20, 1997 unless notice is received on or

before September 22, 1997 that adverse

or critical comments will be submitted.

If the effective date is delayed, timely

notice will be published in the Federal

Register.

address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 10, 1996 and September 13,

1996, the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania submitted formal

revisions to its State Implementation

Plan (SIP). Each source subject to this

rulemaking will be identified and

discussed below. Any plan approvals

and operating permits submitted

coincidentally with those being

approved in this document, and not

identified below, will be addressed in a

separate rulemaking action.

Pursuant to sections 182(b)(2) and

182(f) of the Clean Air Act (CAA),

Pennsylvania is required to implement

RACT for all major VOC and NOX

sources by no later than May 31, 1995.

The major source size is determined by

its location, the classification of that

area and whether it is located in the

ozone transport region (OTR), which is

established by the CAA. The
