Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 178 / Tuesday, September 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules 55279 

8. Taking of Private Property 

This proposed rule would not cause a 

taking of private property or otherwise 

have taking implications under 

Executive Order 12630, Governmental 

Actions and Interference with 

Constitutionally Protected Property 

Rights. 

9. Civil Justice Reform 

This proposed rule meets applicable 

standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform, to minimize litigation, 

eliminate ambiguity, and reduce 

burden. 

10. Protection of Children From 

Environmental Health Risks 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Executive Order 13045, 

Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks. This rule is not an economically 

significant rule and would not create an 

environmental risk to health or risk to 

safety that might disproportionately 

affect children. 

11. Indian Tribal Governments 

This proposed rule does not have 

tribal implications under Executive 

Order 13175, Consultation and 

Coordination with Indian Tribal 

Governments, because it would not have 

a substantial direct effect on one or 

more Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes. 

12. Energy Effects 

This proposed rule is not a 

‘‘significant energy action’’ under 

Executive Order 13211, Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use because it is not a 

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under 

Executive Order 12866 and is not likely 

to have a significant adverse effect on 

the supply, distribution, or use of 

energy. The Administrator of the Office 

of Information and Regulatory Affairs 

has not designated it as a significant 

energy action. Therefore, it does not 

require a Statement of Energy Effects 

under Executive Order 13211. 

13. Technical Standards 

This proposed rule does not use 

technical standards. Therefore, we did 

not consider the use of voluntary 

consensus standards. 

14. Environment 

We have analyzed this proposed rule 

under Department of Homeland 

Security Management Directive 023–01 

and Commandant Instruction 

M16475.lD, which guide the Coast 

Guard in complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have made a preliminary determination 

that this action is one of a category of 

actions that do not individually or 

cumulatively have a significant effect on 

the human environment. This proposed 

rule involves the Captain of the Port 

Ohio Valley establishing a special local 

regulation for all waters of the 

Tennessee River beginning at mile 

marker 255.0 and ending at mile marker 

256.5 to provide safety for the 

participants of the ‘‘Shoals Dragon Boat 

Festival.’’ This rule is categorically 

excluded from further review under 

paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the 

Commandant Instruction. A preliminary 

environmental analysis checklist 

supporting this determination and a 

Categorical Exclusion Determination are 

available in the docket where indicated 

under ADDRESSES. We seek any 

comments or information that may lead 

to the discovery of a significant 

environmental impact from this 

proposed rule.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; State of 

Nebraska; Cross-State Air Pollution 

Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of 

Nebraska in a letter dated March 30, 

2015. This SIP revision provides 

Nebraska’s state-determined allowance 

allocations for existing electric 

generating units (EGUs) in the State for 

the 2016 control periods and replaces 

the allowance allocations for the 2016 

control periods established by EPA 

under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule 

(CSAPR). The CSAPR addresses the 

‘‘good neighbor’’ provision of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA or Act) that requires states 

to reduce the transport of pollution that 

significantly affects downwind air 

quality. In this action EPA is proposing 

approval of Nebraska’s SIP revision, 

incorporating the state-determined 

allocations for the 2016 control periods 

into the SIP, and amending the 

regulatory text of the CSAPR Federal 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

55280 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 178 / Tuesday, September 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

Implementation Plan (FIP) to reflect this 

approval and inclusion of the statedetermined allocations. EPA is 

proposing to approve Nebraska’s SIP 

revision because it meets the 

requirements of the CAA and the 

CSAPR requirements to replace EPA’s 

allowance allocations for the 2016 

control periods. This action is being 

proposed pursuant to the CAA and its 

implementing regulations. EPA’s 

allocations of CSAPR trading program 

allowances for Nebraska for control 

periods in 2017 and beyond remain in 

place until the State submits and EPA 

approves state-determined allocations 

for those control periods through 

another SIP. The CSAPR FIPs for 

Nebraska remain in place until such 

time as the State decides to replace the 

FIPs with a SIP revision. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

October 15, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this 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 

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 action. 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. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.

Region 10] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Washington: 

Additional Regulations for the Benton 

Clean Air Agency Jurisdiction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Washington State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) that were 

submitted by the Department of Ecology 

(Ecology) in coordination with Benton 

Clean Air Agency (BCAA) on August 25, 

2015. In the fall of 2014 and spring of 

2015, the EPA approved numerous 

revisions to Ecology’s general air quality 

regulations. However, our approval of 

the updated Ecology regulations applied 

only to geographic areas where Ecology, 

and not a local air authority, has 

jurisdiction, and statewide to source 

categories over which Ecology has sole 

jurisdiction. Under the Washington 

Clean Air Act local clean air agencies, 

such as BCAA, have the option of 

adopting equally stringent or more 

stringent standards or requirements in 

lieu of Ecology’s general air quality 

regulations, if they so choose. Therefore, 

the EPA stated that we would evaluate 

the general air quality regulations as 

they apply to local jurisdictions in 

separate, future actions. If finalized, this 

proposed action would allow BCAA to 

rely primarily on Ecology’s general air 

quality regulations for sources within 

BCAA’s jurisdiction, including 

implementation of the minor new 

source review and nonattainment new 

source review permitting programs. This 

action also proposes approval of a small 

set of BCAA regulatory provisions that 

replace or supplement parts of Ecology’s 

general air quality regulations.
