**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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.

**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.

**FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT :**  Questions concerning the November 25, 2011, proposed rule should be addressed to Susan Fairchild, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Sector Policies and Programs Division (D 243–04), Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina 27711; telephone number: (919) 541–5167; facsimile number: (919) 541–3207; email address: Fairchild.susan@epa.gov.

The proposal for the Mineral Wool Production and Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing NESHAP was published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2011, and is available at: http:// www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html and also in the docket identified below.
How can I get copies of this document and other related information?

The EPA has established dockets for the proposed rules, ‘‘National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Mineral Wool Production Risk and Technology Review,’’ under No. EPA– HQ–OAR–2010–1041; and ‘‘National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing Risk and Technology Review,’’ under No. EPA–HQ–OAR– 2010–1042. Both dockets are available at www.regulations.gov.

**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.

**DATES :**  Send written comments by February 22, 2012.

**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.
