interested persons. A report that

summarizes each FAA-public contact

concerned with the substance of this

action will be filed in the Rules Docket.

Commenters wishing the FAA to

acknowledge receipt of their comments

Agency Findings

The regulations adopted herein will

not have a substantial direct effect on

the States, on the relationship between

the national Government and the States,

or on the distribution of power and

responsibilities among the various

levels of government. Therefore, it is

determined that this final rule does not

have federalism implications under

Executive Order 13132.

The FAA has determined that this

regulation is noncontroversial and

unlikely to result in adverse or negative

comments. For the reasons discussed in

the preamble, I certify that this

regulation (1) is not a ‘‘significant

regulatory action’’ under Executive

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant

rule’’ under Department of

Transportation (DOT) Regulatory

Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034,

February 26, 1979); and (3) if

promulgated, will not have a significant

economic impact, positive or negative,

on a substantial number of small entities

under the criteria of the Regulatory

Flexibility Act.

Correction

ACTION: Correcting amendment.

SUMMARY: This document contains a

correcting amendment to the temporary

regulations, which were published in

the Federal Register on December 22,

1999, (64 FR 71947). The temporary

regulations relate to implementing

certain provisions of the Balanced

Budget Act of 1997 that set forth

requirements that, beginning January 1,

2000, importers of tobacco products

must qualify for a permit to conduct that

activity.

DATES: This rule is effective October 24,

2000.

Firearms, 650 Massachusetts Avenue

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The temporary regulations that are the

subject of this correction implemented

some of the provisions of the Balanced

Budget Act of 1997, (Pub. L. 105–33)

and made clarifying changes to part 275.

The temporary regulations were

published in the Federal Register on

December 22, 1999, (T.D. ATF–422, 64

FR 71947), and two corrections to the

temporary rules were published on

March 21, 2000, (T.D. ATF–422a, 65 FR

15058) and on July 24, 2000, (T.D. ATF–

422b, 65 FR 45523). The temporary

regulations require that, beginning

January 1, 2000, importers of tobacco

products must qualify for a permit to

conduct that activity.

Need for Correction

As published, the temporary

regulations contain an omission in the

meaning of term ‘‘appropriate ATF

officer.’’ The meaning of this term

should also refer to ATF O 1130.15,

Delegation Order—Delegation of Certain

of the Director’s Authorities in 27 CFR

parts 270, 275 and 296. This document

corrects this omission.

Act (CAA) section 187(a)(5) requirement

for 1996 Periodic Emission Inventories

(PEI), for Carbon Monoxide (CO)

nonattainment areas, for Denver,

Colorado and Fort Collins, Colorado. On

June 14, 1999, the Governor of Utah

submitted a SIP revision for the 1996

CO PEI requirement for Utah County,

Utah. In this action, the EPA is

Colorado, Fort Collins, Colorado, and

Utah County, Utah.

DATES: This direct final rule is effective

on December 26, 2000 without further

notice, unless EPA receives adverse

I. Background Information

A. What Is the Purpose of This Action?

In this action, we are approving the

1996 CO PEIs for Denver, Colorado, Fort

Collins, Colorado, and Utah County,

Utah.

On November 15, 1990, the Clean Air

Act Amendments of 1990 were enacted

(Public Law 101–549, 104 Stat. 2399,

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q).

Under section 187(a)(5) of the CAA,

States have the responsibility to

inventory emissions contributing to

NAAQS nonattainment, to track these

emissions over time, and to ensure that

control strategies are being implemented

that reduce emissions and move areas

toward attainment. The CAA required

States with moderate or serious CO

nonattainment areas to initially submit

a base year CO inventory that

represented actual emissions during the

peak CO season by November 15, 1992.

This base year inventory was for

calendar year 1990. Moderate and

serious CO nonattainment areas were

also required to submit a revised

emissions inventory periodically. The

1990 base year inventory was to serve as

the primary inventory from which the

periodic inventories were to be derived.

As per CAA section 187(a)(5), the

submittal of the first periodic emissions

inventory, as a revision to the SIP, was

required no later than September 30,

1995, and every three years thereafter

until the area is redesignated to

attainment. EPA approved the 1993

periodic CO emission inventories for

Denver and Fort Collins on July 15,

1998 (see 63 FR 38087) and for Utah

County on April 14, 1998 (see 63 FR

1812). As these three areas have not

been redesignated to attainment, the

CAA section 187(a)(5) requirement

continues to apply to Denver, Fort

Collins, and Utah County. Further

information on these inventories and

their purpose can be found in the

document ‘‘Emission Inventory

Requirements for Carbon Monoxide

State Implementation Plans,’’ USEPA,

Office of Air Quality Planning and

Standards, EPA–450/4–91–011, March

1991, the September 30, 1994, guidance

memorandum entitled ‘‘1993 Periodic

Emission Inventory Guidance,’’ signed

by J. David Mobley, Chief of the

Emission Inventory Branch (hereafter,

the Mobley Memorandum), the June 30,

1997, guidance memorandum

distributing the document ‘‘Preparation

of the 1996 Emission Inventory,’’ from

David Misenheimer, Acting Group

Leader, Emission Factor and Inventory

Group, and the document ‘‘Reporting

Guidance for 1996 Periodic Emissions

Inventories and National Emissions

Trends (NET) Inventories,’’ EPA–454/R–

97–005, June 1997.

The periodic inventories were to be

prepared in similar detail as was done

with the 1990 base year inventories and

were to address actual CO emissions for

the area during the peak CO season. The

peak CO season should reflect the

months when peak CO concentrations

occur. As winter is the peak CO season

for Denver, Fort Collins, and Utah

County, the 1996 periodic inventories

included the period November through

January. The periodic inventories are to

address emissions from stationary point,

area, on-road mobile, and non-road

mobile sources.

B. What Is the State’s Process To Submit

These Materials to the EPA?

Section 110(k) of the CAA addresses

our actions on submissions of revisions

to a SIP. The CAA also requires States

to observe certain procedural

requirements in developing SIP

revisions for submittal to us. Section

110(a)(2) of the CAA requires that each

SIP revision be adopted after reasonable

notice and public hearing (including

emission inventories) 1. This must occur

before the State submits the revision to

us.

The State of Colorado held a public

hearing for the Denver 1996 PEI on

April 15, 1999, directly after which the

inventory was adopted by the Air

Quality Control Commission (AQCC).

The State of Colorado held a public

hearing for the Fort Collins 1996 PEI on
