Drawbridge Operation Regulation; 

Hood Canal, Port Gamble, WA 

AGENCY: Coast Guard, DHS. 

ACTION: Notice of deviation from 

drawbridge regulation; extension and 

modification. 

SUMMARY: The Coast Guard has 

extended and modified a temporary 

deviation from the operating schedule 

that governs the Hood Canal Floating 

Drawbridge across Hood Canal 

(Admiralty Inlet), mile 5.0, near Port 

Gamble, WA. The temporary deviation 

is now effective until 7 p.m. on October 

19, 2015 and allows the bridge to open 

the draw span half-way, 300 feet; as 

opposed to all the way, which is 600 

feet, with at least one hour’s notice and 

only at or near slack tide. 

DATES: The temporary deviation 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 21, 2015 (80 FR 50768), and as 

modified herein, is effective from 

September 25, 2015, until 7 p.m. on 

October 19, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The docket for this 

deviation, [USCG–2015–0767] is

deviation, call or email Mr. Steven 

Fischer, Bridge Administrator, 

Thirteenth Coast Guard District; 

telephone 206–220–7282, email d13-pfd13bridges@uscg.mil. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 

21, 2015 the Coast Guard published a 

notice of temporary deviation at 80 FR 

50768 from the operating schedule that 

governs the Hood Canal Floating 

Drawbridge across Hood Canal 

(Admiralty Inlet), mile 5.0, near Port 

Gamble, WA allowing the bridge to 

open the draw span half-way, 300 feet; 

as opposed to all the way, which is 600 

feet. The Coast Guard is extending the 

end date of the previously published 

temporary deviation until 7 p.m. on 

October 19, 2015 as additional time is 

necessary for the Washington State 

Department of Transportation to 

complete the replacement of the bridge’s 

draw span anchors. The temporary 

deviation is also modified to require 

opening with at least one hour’s notice 

and only at or near slack tide. The 

former clarifies that the requirement for 

at least one hour’s notice from the 

normal operating schedule is still in 

place during the temporary deviation 

and the latter is necessary to ensure the 

bridge does not move when opened 

during draw span anchor replacement. 

All other information provided in the 

temporary deviation published on 

August 21, 2015 at 80 FR 50768 

continues to apply. 

Dated: September 22, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

Organization of this document. The 

following outline is provided to aid in 

locating information in this preamble. 

I. Background and Purpose 

II. What action is EPA approving in this 

document? 

III. Final Action 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On January 21, 2015 (80 FR 2860), 

EPA published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of New 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 57723 

Hampshire. The NPR proposed to 

approve a November 15, 2012 SIP 

submittal revising the state’s PSD 

program under PART Env-A 619, 

‘‘Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration.’’ The NPR also proposed 

to approve a July 21, 2003 SIP submittal 

revising the following definitions under 

PART Env-A 101, ‘‘Definitions;’’ (1) 

‘‘minor permit amendment,’’ and (2) 

‘‘state permit to operate.’’ 

On April 24, 2015 EPA (80 FR 22956), 

EPA published a separate NPR for the 

state of New Hampshire. The NPR 

proposed to approve a separate portion 

of the November 15, 2012 SIP submittal 

revising the state’s NNSR program 

under PART Env-A 618, 

‘‘Nonattainment New Source Review’’ 

The NPR also reaffirmed EPA’s January 

21, 2015 proposed approval of the 

November 15, 2012 SIP submittal 

revising PART Env-A 619, ‘‘Prevention 

of Significant Deterioration’’ and the 

July 21, 2003 SIP submittal revising 

PART Env-A 101, ‘‘Definitions.’’ 

In addition, the April 24, 2015 NPR 

proposed to conditionally approve the 

New Hampshire Department of 

Environmental Services’ (NHDES) 

commitment to submit revised 

regulations addressing the following 

three provisions of the federal NNSR 

and PSD programs: 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(5)(i) 

that state approval to construct shall not 

relieve any owner or operator of the 

responsibility to comply fully with 

applicable provisions of the plan and 

any other requirements under local, 

State or Federal law; 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(6) 

and (a)(7) that meet the federal 

regulations applicable to projects at 

major stationary sources that are not 

major modifications based on the actualto-projected actual test but have a 

‘‘reasonable possibility’’ of resulting in 

a significant emission increase; and 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 

51.166(q)(2)(iv) requiring notice of a 

draft PSD permit to state air agencies 

whose lands may be affected by 

emissions from the permitted source. 

The specific requirements for the two 

SIP submittals and the rationale for 

EPA’s proposed actions are explained in 

the January 21, 2015 and April 24, 2015 

NPRs and will not be restated here. EPA 

did not receive any public comments on 

the April 24, 2015 NPR. 

II. What action is EPA approving in this 

document? 

EPA is approving and incorporating 

into the SIP, PART Env-A 618, 

‘‘Nonattainment New Source Review’’ 

and PART Env-A 619, ‘‘Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration’’ that New 

Hampshire submitted on November 15, 

2012. EPA is approving New 

Hampshire’s definitions of ‘‘minor 

permit amendment,’’ and ‘‘state permit 

to operate’’ under PART Env-A 101, 

‘‘Definitions’’ into the SIP. 

Additionally, EPA is approving the 

commitment letter submitted by the 

NHDES on March 20, 2015, in which 

the NHDES committed to adopt revised 

NNSR and PSD regulations to address 

three provisions required by the federal 

NNSR and PSD program regulations. In 

that letter, NHDES committed to adopt 

these revisions no later than one year 

from the date of EPA’s conditional 

approval, and to submit them to EPA for 

approval into the SIP. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving New Hampshire’s 

July 23, 2003 SIP submittal amending 

the definitions of ‘‘minor permit 

amendment,’’ and ‘‘state permit to 

operate’’ under PART Env-A 101, 

‘‘Definitions.’’ 

EPA is approving New Hampshire’s 

November 15, 2012 SIP submittal 

amending PART Env-A 618, 

‘‘Nonattainment New Source Review’’ 

and PART Env-A 619, ‘‘Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration.’’ With this 

action, PART Env-A 618 and PART EnvA 619 will supersede all other NNSR 

and PSD Program regulations currently 

approved in New Hampshire’s SIP. 

EPA is conditionally approving 

NHDES’s commitment to adopt and 

submit to EPA by September 26, 2016 

revised NNSR and PSD regulations 

which address the following provisions 

of the federal NNSR and PSD program 

regulations: 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(5)(i), 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 51.165(a)(6) 

and (a)(7), and 

• Provisions at 40 CFR 

51.166(q)(2)(iv). 

If the State fails to do so, the State’s 

commitment to address these three 

provisions will become a disapproval on 

that date. EPA will notify the State by 

letter that this action has occurred. At 

that time, this commitment will no 

longer be a part of the approved New 

Hampshire SIP. EPA subsequently will 

publish a document in the Federal 

Register notifying the public that the 

conditional approval automatically 

converted to disapproval. If the State 

meets its commitment, within the 

applicable time frame, the conditionally 

approved submission will remain a part 

of the SIP until EPA takes final action 

approving or disapproving the State’s 

SIP submittal of the revised NNSR and 

PSD regulations which address the three 

provisions. If EPA approves the 

submittal, the three provisions will be 

fully approved in their entirety and will 

replace the conditional approval in the 

SIP. 

If the conditional approval is 

converted to a disapproval, such action 

will trigger EPA’s authority to impose 

sanctions under section 110(m) of the 

CAA at the time EPA issues the final 

disapproval or on the date the State fails 

to meet its commitment. In the latter 

case, EPA will notify the State by letter 

that the conditional approval has been 

converted to a disapproval and that 

EPA’s sanctions authority has been 

triggered. In addition, the final 

disapproval triggers the Federal 

implementation plan (FIP) requirement 

under section 110(c). 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of PART 

Env-A 618, ‘‘Nonattainment New Source 

Review;’’ PART Env-A 619, ‘‘Prevention 

of Significant Deterioration;’’ and PART 

Env-A 101, ‘‘Definitions’’ described in 

the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set 

forth below. The EPA has made, and 

will continue to make, these documents 

generally available electronically 

through www.regulations.gov and/or in 

hard copy at the appropriate EPA office 

(see the ADDRESSES section of this 

preamble for more information). 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this action merely 

approves state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

this action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

57724 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Publ. L. 104–4); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by November 24, 

2015. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of this action for the purposes of judicial 

review nor does it extend the time 

within which a petition for judicial 

review may be filed, and shall not 

postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. This action may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

rules? 

Section 110(a) of the CAA requires 

States to submit regulations that control 

VOCs, oxides of nitrogen, particulate

MBUAPCD Rule 1002 is designed to 

limit emissions of VOCs from the 

transfer of gasoline into vehicle fuel
