49992 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 159 / Friday, August 16, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

merely proposes to approve 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• 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); 

• 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 CAA; and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposal does not 

have tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the State, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Antelope Valley Air 

Quality Management District 

(AVAQMD) and Ventura County Air 

Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) 

portions of the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern sulfur oxide 

emissions from lead smelters and 

volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

emissions from the data storage and 

vacuum producing device industries. 

We are proposing to rescind local rules 

that regulate emission sources under the 

Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA 

or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments must arrive by 

September 16, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: AVAQMD Rule 1101, ‘‘Secondary 

Lead Smelters/Sulfur Oxides;’’ VCAPCD 

Rule 37, ‘‘Project XL;’’ and VCAPCD 

Rule 67, ‘‘Vacuum Producing Devices.’’ 

In the Rules and Regulations section of 

this Federal Register, we are approving 

rescission of these local rules in a direct 

final action without prior proposal 

because we believe these SIP revisions 

are not controversial. If we receive 

adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comments on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information please 

see the direct final action.

National Oil and Hazardous 

Substances Pollution Contingency 

Plan; National Priorities List: Partial 

Deletion of the Torch Lake Superfund 

Site 

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; notice of intent. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency Region 5 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete the Quincy 

Smelter and Calumet Lake parcels of 

OU3 of the Torch Lake Superfund Site 

(Site), located in Houghton County, 

Michigan, from the National Priorities 

List (NPL) and requests public 

comments on this proposed action. The 

NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 

105 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act 

(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is an 

appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA with the 

concurrence of the State of Michigan, 

through the Michigan Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ), has 

determined that all appropriate 

response actions under CERCLA, other 

than operation, maintenance, and five 

year reviews, at these identified parcels 

have been completed. However, this 

deletion does not preclude future 

actions under Superfund. 

This partial deletion pertains to the 

surface tailings and slag deposits of the 

Quincy Smelter and Calumet Lake 

parcels of OU3. The following parcels or 

areas will remain on the NPL and are 

not being considered for deletion as part 

of this action: Dollar Bay, Point Mills, 

Boston Pond, and North Entry.

September 16, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of 

today’s Federal Register, we are 

publishing a direct final Notice of 

Partial Deletion for the Quincy Smelter 

and Calumet Lake parcels of OU3 of the 

Torch Lake Superfund Site without 

prior Notice of Intent for Partial 

Deletion because EPA views this as a 

noncontroversial revision and 

anticipates no adverse comment. We 

have explained our reasons for this 

deletion in the preamble to the direct 

final Notice for Partial Deletion, and 

those reasons are incorporated herein. If 

we receive no adverse comment(s) on 

this partial deletion action, we will not 

take further action on this Notice of 

Intent for Partial Deletion. If we receive 

adverse comment(s), we will withdraw 

the direct final Notice for Partial 

Deletion, and it will not take effect. We 

will, as appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Partial Deletion based on this Notice
