William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan 

Program 

AGENCY: Department of Education. 

ACTION: Final regulations; correction. 

SUMMARY: On October 23, 2008, the 

Department of Education amended the 

regulations for the Federal Perkins Loan 

(Perkins Loan) Program; the Federal 

Family Education Loan (FFEL) Program; 

and the William D. Ford Federal Direct 

Loan (Direct Loan) Program, including 

the Public Service Loan Forgiveness 

(PSLF) Program offered within the 

Direct Loan Program. This document 

makes corrections to the October 23, 

2008, final regulations. 

DATES: Effective December 28, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Within the 

regulations issued on October 23, 2008, 

the Secretary included rules to 

implement the Public Service Loan 

Forgiveness benefit offered within the 

Direct Loan Program. 73 FR 63232. One 

of the matters addressed by those rules 

was the extent to which service for an 

organization engaged in religious 

activities qualifies a borrower for the 

loan forgiveness benefit. The 

Department’s intent in regulating in this 

area was to be consistent with the 

treatment of such service in 

corresponding regulations for the FFEL 

Program (34 CFR 682.210(m)), the 

Perkins Loan Program (34 CFR 

674.36(c)(4)), and the Department of 

Defense Program to Encourage Public 

and Community Service (32 CFR 

77.3(a)). However, as a result of a 

drafting error, the Department omitted 

wording from paragraph (3) of the 

definition of ‘‘public service 

organization’’ in 34 CFR 685.219(b) that 

would have corresponded with language 

in paragraph (5)(ii) of the definition and 

been consistent with language in the 

regulations for the FFEL, Perkins Loan, 

and Department of Defense programs. 

This language would have made clear 

that service for a non-profit organization 

that qualifies a borrower for the loan 

forgiveness benefit cannot be comprised 

of activities that are related to religious 

instruction, worship services, or any 

form of proselytizing. To correct the 

drafting error, the Department is 

publishing this technical correction to 

add the omitted language. This 

correction clarifies the intended 

meaning of the regulations. The 

Department also corrects a 

typographical error—the spelling of the 

word ‘‘health’’ under paragraph (5)(i) of 

the definition of ‘‘public service 

organization.’’

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R03–OAR–2012–0174; FRL–9764–4] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; West 

Virginia; Redesignation of the West 

Virginia Portion of the HuntingtonAshland, WV-KY-OH 1997 Annual Fine 

Particulate Matter Nonattainment Area 

to Attainment and Approval of the 

Associated Maintenance Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a 

redesignation request and State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the State of West Virginia. 

The West Virginia Department of 

Environmental Protection (WVDEP) 

requested that the West Virginia portion 

of the Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH 

fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 

nonattainment area (‘‘HuntingtonAshland Area’’ or ‘‘Area’’) be 

redesignated as attainment for the 1997 

annual PM2.5 national ambient air 

quality standard (NAAQS). In this 

rulemaking action, EPA is approving the 

1997 annual PM2.5 redesignation request 

for the West Virginia portion of the 

Area. EPA is also approving the 

maintenance plan SIP revision that the 

State submitted in conjunction with its 

redesignation request. The maintenance 

plan provides for continued attainment 

of the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS for 10 

years after redesignation of the West 

Virginia portion of the Area. The 

maintenance plan includes an 

insignificance determination for the 

onroad motor vehicle contribution of 

PM2.5, nitrogen oxides (NOX), and sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) for the West Virginia 

portion of the Area for purposes of 

transportation conformity. EPA is 

approving West Virginia’s insignificance 

determination for transportation 

conformity. EPA is also finding that the 

Area continues to attain the standard. 

This rulemaking action approving the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS 

redesignation request, maintenance 

plan, and insignificance determination 

for transportation conformity for the 

West Virginia portion of the Area is 

based on EPA’s determination that the 

Area has met the criteria for 

redesignation to attainment specified in 

the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

December 28, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Huntington-Ashland Area is 

composed of Cabell and Wayne 

Counties and the Graham Tax District in 

Mason County in West Virginia (West 

Virginia portion of the Area); Boyd 

County and a portion of Lawrence 

County in Kentucky; and Lawrence and 

Scioto Counties and portions of Adams 

and Gallia Counties in Ohio. On 

November 15, 2012 (77 FR 68076), EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) for the State of West 

Virginia. Pursuant to sections 107(d)(3) 

and 175A of the CAA, the NPR 

proposed approval of West Virginia’s 

redesignation request, a SIP revision 

that establishes a maintenance plan for 

the West Virginia portion of the Area 

that provides for continued attainment 

of the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS for at 

least 10 years after redesignation, and 

the insignificance determination for 

transportation conformity for the West 

Virginia portion of the Area. The formal 

SIP revision was submitted by WVDEP 

on June 30, 2011. In a separate action, 

EPA approved the base year emissions 

inventory on December 11, 2012 (77 FR 

73544) meeting the requirements of 

section 172(c)(3) of the CAA. Other 

specific details of West Virginia’s 

redesignation request, the associated 

maintenance plan SIP revision and 

insignificance determination, and the 

rationales for EPA’s proposed actions 

are explained in the NPR and will not 

be restated here. No public comments 

were received on the NPR. 

II. Final Action 

EPA is approving the redesignation 

request, maintenance plan, and 

insignificance determination for 

transportation conformity for the West 

Virginia portion of the Area that was 

submitted by WVDEP on June 30, 2011 

because the requirements for approval 

have been satisfied. EPA has evaluated 

West Virginia’s redesignation request, 

and determined that it meets the 

redesignation criteria set forth in section 

107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. Approval of 

this redesignation request will change 

the legal designation of the West 

Virginia portion of the Area from 

nonattainment to attainment for the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is 

approving the associated maintenance 

plan for the West Virginia portion of the 

Area, submitted on June 30, 2011, as a 

revision to the West Virginia SIP 

because it meets the requirements of 

section 175A of the CAA. EPA is also 

approving the transportation conformity 

insignificance determination submitted 

by West Virginia for this Area in 

conjunction with its redesignation 

request. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 

EPA finds there is good cause for this 

action to become effective immediately 

upon publication. A delayed effective 

date is unnecessary due to the nature of 

a redesignation to attainment, which 

eliminates CAA obligations that would 

otherwise apply. The immediate 

effective date for this action is 

authorized under both 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(1), which provides that 

rulemaking actions may become 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication if the rule ‘‘grants or 

recognizes an exemption or relieves a 

restriction,’’ and section 553(d)(3), 

which allows an effective date less than 

30 days after publication ‘‘as otherwise 

provided by the agency for good cause 

found and published with the rule.’’ 

The purpose of the 30-day waiting 

period prescribed in section 553(d) is to 

give affected parties a reasonable time to 

adjust their behavior and prepare before 

the final rule takes effect. Today’s rule, 

however, does not create any new 

regulatory requirements such that
