OCS regulations generally, the reader may refer to 

the Proposed Rulemaking, December 5, 1991 (56 FR 

63774), and the final rule promulgated September 

4, 1992 (57 FR 40792). 

2Each COA which has been delegated the 

authority to implement and enforce part 55 will use 

its administrative and procedural rules as onshore. 

However, in those instances where EPA has not 

delegated authority to implement and enforce part 

55, as is the case in New Jersey, EPA will use its 

own administrative and procedural requirements to 

implement the substantive requirements. See 40 

CFR 55.14(c)(4). 

particular State home would likely be 

beneficial to the veteran. This clinical 

determination must consider whether 

receiving domiciliary care in the State 

home would significantly enhance the 

veteran’s ability to live safely, would 

support the veteran’s potential progress 

in rehabilitation, if such potential exists, 

and would create an environment that 

supports the health and well-being of 

the veteran. In granting a waiver of 

paragraph (b)(1) of this section, the 

Chief of Staff of the VA medical center 

of jurisdiction, or designee, must make 

a finding that the State home has the 

capability to provide the domiciliary 

care that the veteran needs.

Outer Continental Shelf Air 

Regulations Update To Include New 

Jersey State Requirements 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is finalizing an update of 

a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf 

(OCS) air regulations proposed in the 

Federal Register on July 16, 2024. 

Requirements applying to OCS sources 

located within 25 miles of States’ 

seaward boundaries must be updated 

periodically to remain consistent with 

the requirements of the corresponding 

onshore area (COA), as mandated by the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion of the 

OCS air regulations that is being 

updated here pertains to the 

requirements for OCS sources for which 

the State of New Jersey is the COA. The 

intended effect of approving the OCS 

requirements for the State of New Jersey 

is to regulate emissions from OCS 

sources in accordance with the 

requirements onshore. The requirements 

discussed below are proposed to be 

incorporated by reference into the Code 

of Federal Regulations and listed in the 

appendix to the OCS air regulations. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

November 29, 2024. The incorporation 

by reference of a certain publication 

listed in this rule is approved by the 

Director of the Federal Register as of 

November 29, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

Number EPA–R02–OAR–2024–0277. All 

documents in the docket are available at 

www.regulations.gov.

to EPA’s proposed action?

VI. Judicial Review 

I. What is the background for this 

action? 

On July 16, 2024, EPA proposed to 

incorporate by reference into the OCS 

air regulations at 40 CFR part 55 (‘‘Part 

55’’) 1 updated requirements pertaining 

to the State of New Jersey. See 89 FR 

57828. The action that EPA is taking 

today in this rule is to finalize those 

proposed updates. 

Section 328(a) of the CAA requires 

that for such OCS sources located 

within 25 miles of a State’s seaward 

boundary, the requirements shall be the 

same as would be applicable if the 

sources were located in the 

corresponding onshore area (COA). 

Because the OCS requirements are based 

on onshore requirements, and onshore 

requirements may change, CAA section 

328(a)(1) requires that EPA update the 

OCS requirements as necessary to 

maintain consistency with onshore 

requirements. To comply with this 

statutory mandate, EPA must 

incorporate by reference into part 55 all 

relevant State rules in effect for onshore 

sources, so they can be applied to OCS 

sources located offshore. This limits 

EPA’s flexibility in deciding which 

requirements will be incorporated into 

40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from 

making substantive changes to the 

requirements it incorporates. As a 

result, EPA may be incorporating rules 

into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform 

to all of EPA’s State implementation 

plan (SIP) guidance or certain 

requirements of the CAA. Inclusion in 

the OCS rule does not imply that a rule 

meets the requirements of the CAA for 

SIP approval, nor does it imply that the 

rule will be approved by EPA for 

inclusion in the SIP. 40 CFR 55.12 

specifies certain times at which part 

55’s incorporation by reference of a 

State’s rules must be updated. One time 

such a ‘‘consistency update’’ must occur 

is when any OCS source applicant 

submits a Notice of Intent (NOI) under 

40 CFR 55.4 for a new or a modified 

OCS source. 40 CFR 55.4(a) requires that 

any OCS source applicant must submit 

to EPA an NOI before performing any 

physical change or change in method of 

operation that results in an increase in 

emissions if the OCS source is located 

within 25 miles of a State’s seaward 

boundaries. EPA must conduct any 

necessary consistency update when it 

receives an NOI, and prior to receiving 

any application for a preconstruction 

permit from the OCS source applicant. 

40 CFR 55.6(b)(2) and 55.12(f). On May 

10, 2024, EPA received a NOI from 

Atlantic Shores Offshore Wind Project 

3, LLC to submit an OCS permit 

application for the construction of a 

new OCS source (a wind energy project) 

about 7.3 nautical miles offshore New 

Jersey. 

EPA reviewed the New Jersey State 

Department of Environmental Protection 

(‘‘NJDEP’’) air rules currently in effect, 

to ensure that they are rationally related 

to the attainment or maintenance of 

Federal and State ambient air quality 

standards (AAQS) or part C of title I of 

the CAA, that they are not designed 

expressly to prevent exploration and 

development of the OCS, and that they 

are applicable to OCS sources. See 40 

CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated the 

rules to ensure they are not arbitrary 

and capricious. See 40 CFR 55.12(e). 

EPA has excluded New Jersey’s 

administrative or procedural rules,2 and 

requirements that regulate toxics which 

are not related to the attainment and 

maintenance of Federal and State 

AAQS. 

II. What comments were received in 

response to EPA’s proposed action? 

EPA’s proposed action provided a 30- 

day public comment period, which 

closed on August 15, 2024. During this

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 86251 

3The comment received reads as follows: ‘‘This 

is in regard to Docket number: EPA_FR DOC_0001, 

regarding the outer continental shelf air regulations 

update, to include New Jersey State requirements. 

A part of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air 

Regulations needs to be updated, in accordance to 

the proposal made by the Environment Protection 

Agency (EPA). The Clean Air Act (CAA) mandates 

that requirements for OCS sources located within 

25 miles of a State’s seaward boundary be updated 

on a regular basis to ensure compliance with the 

standards of the corresponding onshore region 

(COA). Emissions from OCS sources will be 

regulated in line with onshore regulations as a 

result of the State of New Jersey’s OCS requirements 

being approved. Air pollution has been an 

increasing problem in recent times. The atmosphere 

has been massively impacted by air pollution, 

leading to changes in the climate. This proposed 

rule would allow more control over air pollution 

from OCS sources, maintaining Federal and State 

ambient air quality standards (AAQS). As we look 

to find solutions for air pollution in our 

environment, we need to work with OCS to make 

sure their regulations are up to standards with the 

Federal program.’’ 

period, we received one comment 3 that 

supports and acknowledges the 

importance of EPA’s proposed action to 

update a portion of part 55 that pertains 

to the requirements for OCS sources for 

which the State of New Jersey is the 

COA, so that those requirements could 

then be applied to the respective OCS 

sources. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking final action to 

incorporate by reference relevant New 

Jersey air pollution control rules that are 

currently in effect into 40 CFR 55.14 

and to update the ‘‘New Jersey’’ section 

of appendix A to 40 CFR part 55, which 

lists those rules. EPA is approving this 

action under section 328(a) of the CAA, 

42 U.S.C. 7627(a). Section 328(a) of the 

CAA requires that EPA establish 

requirements to control air pollution 

from OCS sources located within 25 

miles of a States’ seaward boundaries 

that are the same as onshore 

requirements. To comply with this 

statutory mandate, EPA must 

incorporate applicable onshore rules 

into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist 

onshore. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference as described 

in sections I and II of this preamble. In 

accordance with the requirements of 1 

CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of ‘‘State of 

New Jersey Requirements Applicable to 

OCS Sources’’, which provides the New 

Jersey air rules in effect as of June 6, 

2024, that would apply to OCS sources. 

EPA has made, and will continue to 

make, this material available through 

www.regulations.gov and at EPA Region 

2 Office (please contact the person 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to establish 

requirements to control air pollution 

from OCS sources located within 25 

miles of States’ seaward boundaries that 

are the same as onshore air control 

requirements. To comply with this 

statutory mandate, EPA must 

incorporate applicable onshore rules 

into part 55 as they exist onshore. 42 

U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, 

in promulgating OCS consistency 

updates, EPA’s role is to maintain 

consistency between OCS regulations 

and the regulations of onshore areas, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this 

action simply updates the existing OCS 

requirements to make them consistent 

with requirements onshore, without the 

exercise of any policy discretion by 

EPA. 

a. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory 

Planning and Review 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under the terms of 

Executive Orders (E.O.) 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 

FR 3821, January 21, 2011) and is 

therefore not subject to review under the 

E.O. 

b. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose any new 

information collection burden under 

PRA because this action only updates 

the State rules that are incorporated by 

reference into 40 CFR part 55, appendix 

A. OMB has previously approved the 

information collection activities 

contained in the existing regulations at 

40 CFR part 55 and, by extension, this 

update to 40 CFR part 55, and has 

assigned OMB control number 2060– 

0249. This action does not impose a 

new information burden under PRA 

because this action only updates the 

State rules that are incorporated by 

reference into 40 CFR part 55, appendix 

A. 

c. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the RFA. 

This proposed rule does not impose any 

requirements or create impacts on small 

entities. This proposed consistency 

update under CAA section 328 will not 

create any new requirements but simply 

proposes to update the State 

requirements incorporated by reference 

into 40 CFR part 55 to match the current 

State requirements. 

d. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain any 

unfunded mandate or significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments as 

described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538. The action imposes no 

enforceable duty on any State, local or 

Tribal governments. 

e. Executive Order 13132, Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial 

direct effects 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. 

f. Executive Order 13175, Coordination 

With Indian Tribal Governments 

This action does not have Tribal 

implications, as specified in Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), because it does 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, 

nor does it impose substantial direct 

costs on Tribal governments, nor 

preempt Tribal law. It merely proposes 

to update the State law incorporated by 

reference into 40 CFR part 55 to match 

current State requirements. 

g. Executive Order 13045, Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 

as applying only to those regulatory 

actions that concern health or safety 

risks that EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it is not an economically 

significant regulatory action based on 

health or safety risks subject to 

Executive Order 13045 and simply 

proposes to update the State 

requirements incorporated by reference 

into 40 CFR part 55 to match the current 

State requirements. 

h. Executive Order 13211, Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use 

This proposed rule is not subject to 

Executive Order 13211 because it is not 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
86252 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 210 / Wednesday, October 30, 2024 / Rules and Regulations 

a significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

i. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act 

This rulemaking 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. 

j. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Population 

EPA believes that this action is not 

subject to Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 

7629, February 16, 1994) because it does 

not provide EPA with the discretionary 

authority to address, as appropriate, 

disproportionate human health, or 

environmental effects, using practicable 

and legally permissible methods. 

k. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 

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). 

VI. Judicial Review 

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 December 30, 

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 CAA 

section 307(b)(2).

[Notice-MA–2025–02; Docket No. 2024– 

0002; Sequence No. 51] 

Federal Travel Regulation (FTR); 

Relocation Allowances—Waiver of 

Certain Provisions for Official 

Relocation Travel to Locations in 

Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North 

Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, 

and Virginia Impacted by Hurricane/ 

Tropical Storm/Post-Tropical Cyclone 

Helene, Hurricane Milton, or Both 

AGENCY: Office of Government-wide 

Policy (OGP), General Services 

Administration (GSA). 

ACTION: Notification of GSA Bulletin 

FTR 25–02. 

SUMMARY: GSA Bulletin FTR 25–02 

informs Federal agencies that certain 

provisions of the FTR governing official 

relocation travel are temporarily waived 

for Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North 

Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, 

and Virginia locations impacted by 

Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Post-tropical 

Cyclone Helene, Hurricane Milton, or 

both. As a result of the storm damage 

caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm/ 

Post-tropical Cyclone Helene and 

Hurricane Milton, agencies should 

consider delaying all non-essential 

relocations to the affected areas for a 

period of at least 30 days because the 

ability to secure lodgings may have been 

compromised due to the storm. In 

addition, the statutory 120-day 

maximum for payment of temporary 

quarters subsistence expenses (TQSE) 

remains in effect. Due to the lasting 

effects of the storm damage to these 

affected areas, finding a permanent 

residence may be difficult, which might 

also affect household goods temporary 

storage time requirements, along with 

the completion of all aspects of 

relocation within one year of reporting 

to the new duty station. 

DATES: The waivers in the FTR Bulletin 

are retroactively effective for official 

relocation travel that is/was performed 

in designated areas on or after the 

respective incident period start dates for 

the declarations listed in the Bulletin, 

and will expire 180 days from the 

respective disaster declaration dates. 

The Bulletin will expire upon the 

expiration of the last 180 day period, 

unless extended or rescinded by OGP.
