[EPA–R03–OAR–2011–0714; FRL–9620–4] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Delaware, New Jersey, and 

Pennsylvania; Determinations of 

Attainment of the 1997 Annual Fine 

Particulate Standard for the 

Philadelphia-Wilmington 

Nonattainment Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to make two 

determinations regarding the 

Philadelphia-Wilmington fine particle 

(PM2.5) nonattainment area (the 

Philadelphia Area). EPA is proposing to 

make a determination that the 

Philadelphia Area has attained the 1997 

annual PM2.5 national ambient air 

quality standard (NAAQS) by its 

attainment date of April 5, 2010. EPA is 

also proposing to make a clean data 

determination, finding that the 

Philadelphia Area has attained the 1997 

PM2.5 NAAQS, based on ambient air 

monitoring data for the 2007–2009 and 

2008–2010 monitoring periods. In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is making these 

determinations as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

action and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule and in the Technical Support 

Document (TSD) prepared in support of 

this rulemaking action. A copy of the 

TSD is available, upon request, from the 

EPA Regional Office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. If 

no adverse comments are received in 

response to this action, 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will be withdrawn and all public 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. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by February 22, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through ww.regulations.gov, your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket

National Emissions Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants: Mineral 

Wool Production and Wool Fiberglass 

Manufacturing 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; Notice of 

extension of public comment period. 

SUMMARY: The EPA published in the 

Federal Register on November 25, 2011, 

the proposed rules, ‘‘National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: 

Mineral Wool Production and Wool 

Fiberglass Manufacturing.’’ The EPA 

was asked to hold a public hearing only 

on the wool fiberglass manufacturing 

proposed rule, and on December 20, 

2011, published a notice announcing 

the hearing and extending the comment 

period for only the wool fiberglass 

manufacturing proposed rule (76 FR 

78872). The comment period for the 

mineral wool production proposed rule 

was not extended because no public 

hearing was requested and no requests

3224 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 14 / Monday, January 23, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

for an extension of the comment period 

were received. It has come to our 

attention that confusion arose from the 

result of having two different comment 

periods for the two proposed rules in 

the same action. Therefore, the EPA is 

extending the public comment period 

for the mineral wool production 

proposed rule for 10 days from January 

24, 2012 to February 3, 2012, so that 

comments on both rules in this action 

are due on the same date. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

February 3, 2012.

Technology Review,’’ under No. EPA–

New Mexico: Incorporation by 

Reference of State Hazardous Waste 

Management Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to codify 

in the regulations entitled ‘‘Approved 

State Hazardous Waste Management 

Programs,’’ New Mexico’s authorized 

hazardous waste program. The EPA will 

incorporate by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR) those 

provisions of the State regulations that 

are authorized and that the EPA will 

enforce under the Solid Waste Disposal 

Act, commonly referred to as the 

Resource Conversation and Recovery 

Act (RCRA). In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, the EPA is codifying and 

incorporating by reference the State’s 

hazardous waste program as an 

immediate final rule. The EPA did not 

make a proposal prior to the immediate 

final rule because we believe these 

actions are not controversial and do not 

expect comments that oppose them. We 

have explained the reasons for this 

codification and incorporation by 

reference in the preamble to the 

immediate final rule. Unless we get 

written comments which oppose this 

incorporation by reference during the 

comment period, the immediate final 

rule will become effective on the date it 

establishes, and we will not take further 

action on this proposal. If we get 

comments that oppose these actions, we 

will withdraw the immediate 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.

Shrimp Fisheries of the Gulf of Mexico 

and South Atlantic; Revisions of 

Bycatch Reduction Device (BRD) 

Testing Protocols; Correction 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: This document contains a 

correction to a proposed rule that 

published on January 9, 2012, regarding 

proposed changes to shrimp regulations. 

The proposed rule stated that the 

‘‘Expanded Mesh BRD’’ would be 

decertified for use by the Gulf of Mexico 

shrimp fishery after May 24, 2012. That 

information was not correct. The 

‘‘Extended Funnel BRD’’ is the BRD 

design that will no longer be 

provisionally certified for use in the 

Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery after May 

24, 2012. This rule corrects that mistake. 

Both the Expanded Mesh and Extended 

Funnel BRDs remain certified for use in 

the South Atlantic shrimp fishery. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before February 8, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
