11804 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

provided by the Center pending the 

changes to the organization of the 

Department’s TA activities. For these 

reasons, the Secretary proposes to waive 

the requirements in 34 CFR 75.250, 

which prohibit project periods 

exceeding five years, and waive the 

requirements in 34 CFR 75.261(a) and 

(c)(2), which limit the extension of a 

project period if the extension involves 

the obligation of additional Federal 

funds. The waiver would allow the 

Department to issue a continuation 

award in the amount of $665,000 to 

Clemson University for an additional 

12-month period, which should ensure 

that the Center’s TA, training, and 

dissemination of information to 

families, SEAs, LEAs, and other State 

agencies will not be interrupted. 

Any activities to be carried out during 

the year of the continuation award 

would have to be consistent with, or be 

a logical extension of, the scope, goals, 

and objectives of the grantee’s 

application as approved in the 2008 

National Dropout Prevention Center for 

Students with Disabilities competition. 

If the proposed waiver and extension 

of the project period are announced in 

a final notice in the Federal Register, 

the requirements applicable to 

continuation awards for this 

competition, set forth in the June 23, 

2008, notice inviting applications, and 

the requirements in 34 CFR 75.253 

would apply to any continuation awards 

sought by the current National Dropout 

Prevention Center for Students with 

Disabilities grantee. If we announce the 

waiver and extension as final, we will 

base our decisions regarding a 

continuation award on the program 

narrative, budget, budget narrative, and 

program performance report submitted 

by the current grantee, and the 

requirements in 34 CFR 75.253. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification 

The Department certifies that the 

proposed waiver and extension of the 

project period would not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

The only entity that would be affected 

by the proposed waiver and extension of 

the project period is the current grantee. 

The Secretary certifies that the 

proposed waiver and extension would 

not have a significant economic impact 

on this entity because the extension of 

an existing project imposes minimal 

compliance costs, and the activities 

required to support the additional year 

of funding would not impose additional 

regulatory burdens or require 

unnecessary Federal supervision. 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

This notice of proposed waiver and 

extension of the project period does not 

contain any information collection 

requirements. 

Intergovernmental Review 

This program is subject to Executive 

Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 

CFR part 79. One of the objectives of the 

Executive order is to foster an 

intergovernmental partnership and a 

strengthened federalism. The Executive 

order relies on processes developed by 

State and local governments for 

coordination and review of proposed 

Federal financial assistance. This 

document provides early notification of 

our specific plans and actions for this 

program.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submitted by the State of Kansas on July 

27, 2010, to add two new rules which 

implement restrictions on the idling of 

heavy duty diesel vehicles and reduce 

nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions at 

stationary sources in the Kansas portion 

of the Kansas City Maintenance Area for 

ozone. EPA is approving this revision 

because the standards and requirements 

set by the rules will strengthen the 

Kansas SIP. EPA’s approval of this SIP 

revision is being done in accordance 

with the requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). 

DATES: Written comments should be 

received on or before March 22, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Proposed Rules 11805 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant 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 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment.

direct final rule which is located in the

state adopt and submit a SIP for the 

implementation, maintenance, and 

enforcement of each NAAQS

is proposing to approve the submissions 

for Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, 

Mississippi, North Carolina, South 

Carolina and Tennessee that relate to 

the infrastructure SIP requirement to 

protect visibility in another state. All 

other applicable infrastructure 

requirements for the 1997 annual and
