SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving the regional 

haze State implementation plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by Connecticut on 

January 5, 2022, as satisfying applicable 

requirements under the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) and EPA’s Regional Haze Rule for 

the program’s second implementation 

period. Connecticut’s SIP submission 

addresses the requirement that States 

must periodically revise their long-term 

strategies for making reasonable 

progress towards the national goal of 

preventing any future, and remedying 

any existing, anthropogenic impairment 

of visibility, including regional haze, in 

mandatory Class I Federal areas. The 

SIP submission also addresses other 

applicable requirements for the second 

implementation period of the regional 

haze program. The EPA is taking this 

action pursuant to sections 110 and 

169A of the Clean Air Act. 

DATES: This rule is effective on October 

17, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket

I. Background and Purpose 

On January 5, 2022, the Connecticut 

Department of Energy and 

Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) 

submitted a revision to its SIP to 

address regional haze for the second 

implementation period. CT DEEP made 

this SIP submission to satisfy the 

requirements of the CAA’s regional haze 

program pursuant to CAA sections 169A 

and 169B and 40 CFR 51.308. On July 

19, 2024, EPA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in which 

EPA proposed to approve Connecticut’s 

January 5, 2022, SIP submission as 

satisfying the regional haze 

requirements for the second 

implementation period contained in the 

CAA and 40 CFR 51.308 (89 FR 58663). 

EPA is now finalizing its proposed 

determination that the Connecticut 

regional haze SIP submission for the 

second implementation period meets 

the applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements and is thus approving 

New Hampshire’s submission into its 

SIP. 

Other specific requirements of the 

Connecticut submittal and the rationale 

for EPA’s proposed action are explained 

in the NPRM and will not be restated 

here. 

II. Response to Comments 

EPA received five comments during 

the comment period. Four supported the 

EPA’s proposed action. The fifth 

comment discusses subjects outside the 

scope of this SIP action and fails to 

assert (and explain how) EPA approval 

of Connecticut’s Regional Haze SIP 

submission is erroneous or otherwise 

inconsistent with the CAA, applicable 

regulations, or other authorities. As 

such, the comment does not require 

further response to finalize the action as 

proposed. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving Connecticut’s 

January 5, 2022, SIP submission as 

satisfying the regional haze 

requirements for the second 

implementation period contained in 40 

CFR 51.308(f), (g), and (i), and 

incorporating the submission into the 

State’s SIP. 

IV. 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 

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 (Pub. 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); and 

• 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. 

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). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies 

to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on communities with 

environmental justice (EJ) concerns to 

the greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law. EPA defines EJ as 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 180 / Tuesday, September 17, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 75975 

‘‘the fair treatment and meaningful 

involvement of all people regardless of 

race, color, national origin, or income 

with respect to the development, 

implementation, and enforcement of 

environmental laws, regulations, and 

policies.’’ EPA further defines the term 

fair treatment to mean that ‘‘no group of 

people should bear a disproportionate 

burden of environmental harms and 

risks, including those resulting from the 

negative environmental consequences of 

industrial, governmental, and 

commercial operations or programs and 

policies.’’ 

The Connecticut Department of 

Energy and Environmental Protection 

did not evaluate environmental justice 

considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and 

did not consider EJ in this action. Due 

to the nature of the action being taken 

here, this action is expected to have a 

neutral to positive impact on the air 

quality of the affected area. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of 

achieving environmental justice for 

communities with EJ concerns. 

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 18, 

2024. 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).)

Television Broadcasting Services Cape

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Video Division, Media 

Bureau (Bureau), has before it a Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking issued in 

response to a Petition for Rulemaking 

filed by Gray Television Licensee, LLC 

(Gray), the licensee of KFVS–TV 

(Station or KFVS–TV), Cape Girardeau, 

Missouri (Cape Girardeau). Gray 

requests amendment of the Table of TV 

Allotments to substitute channel 11 for 

channel 32. Gray filed comments in 

support of the Petition, as required by 

the Commission’s rules (rules), 

reaffirming its interest in the proposed 

channel substitution and that it will 

promptly file an application seeking 

authorization on channel 11. 

DATES: Effective October 17, 2024. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Joyce Bernstein, Media Bureau, at (202) 

418–1647 or Joyce.Bernstein@fcc.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule was published at 89 FR 

56250 on July 9, 2024. Gray filed 

comments in support of the petition 

reaffirming its commitment to apply for 

channel 11. No other comments were 

received. 

The Bureau believes the public 

interest would be served by substituting 

channel 11 for channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau. On May 17, 2021, the Bureau 

granted a petition for rulemaking 

submitted by Gray to substitute channel 

32 for channel 11 at Cape Girardeau for 

KFVS–TV. Gray was also granted a 

construction permit to construct a 

facility on channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau, but was unable to complete 

construction of the channel facility by 

the expiration date—June 23, 2024. 

Thus, Gray requests amendment of the 

Table of TV Allotments to allow it to 

continue to operate pursuant to the 

parameters of its current license on 

channel 11. The substitution of channel 

11 for channel 32 in the TV Table of 

Allotments will allow the Station to 

remain on the air and continue to 

provide service to viewers within its 

service area. Gray proposes to utilize its 

currently licensed parameters, and as 

such we find that channel 11 can be 

substituted for channel 32 at Cape 

Girardeau as proposed, in compliance 

with the principal community coverage 

requirements of § 73.618(a) of the rules, 

at coordinates 37–25′–44.7′′ N and 089– 

30′–14.2′′ W. In addition, we find that 

this channel substitution meets the 

technical requirements set forth in 

§ 73.622(a) of the rules. 

This is a synopsis of the 

Commission’s Report and Order, MB
