Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 54 / Thursday, March 20, 1997 / Proposed Rules 13359

Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR

2214–2225), as revised by a July 10,

1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols,

Assistant Administrator for Air and

Radiation. The Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this

regulatory action from E.O. 12866

review.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA must prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis

assessing the impact of any proposed or

final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C.603

and 604. Alternatively, EPA may certify

that the rule will not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities. Small entities include small

businesses, small not-for-profit

enterprises, and government entities

with jurisdiction over populations of

less than 50,000.

EPA’s disapproval of the State request

under Section 110 and subchapter I,

part D of the CAA does not affect any

existing requirements applicable to

small entities. Any pre-existing federal

requirements remain in place after this

disapproval. Federal disapproval of the

state submittal does not affect its stateenforceability. Moreover, EPA’s

disapproval of the submittal does not

impose any new Federal requirements.

Therefore, EPA certifies that this

disapproval action does not have a

significant impact on a substantial

number of small entities because it does

not remove existing requirements and

impose any new Federal requirements.

C. Unfunded Mandates

Under Section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(’’Unfunded Mandates Act’’), signed

into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must

undertake various actions in association

with any proposed or final rule that

includes a Federal mandate that may

result in estimated costs to state, local,

or tribal governments in the aggregate;

or to the private sector, of $100 million

or more. This Federal action approves

pre-existing requirements under state or

local law, and imposes no new

requirements. Accordingly, no

additional costs to state, local, or tribal

governments, or the private sector,

result from this action.

Clean Air Act Approval and

Promulgation of State Implementation

Plan; Colorado; Prevention of

Significant Deterioration; Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve

revisions to Colorado’s prevention of

significant deterioration (PSD)

permitting requirements in Regulation

No. 3, which were submitted as

revisions to the State Implementation

Plan (SIP) by the Governor on August 1,

1996. EPA also proposes to delete the

TSP area designation table and to revise

the PM–10 area designation table in 40

CFR part 81 for Colorado. In addition,

EPA proposes to amend the language in

40 CFR 52.343(a)(3) to clarify Colorado’s

PSD permitting authority.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the State’s SIP revision and

promulgating these amendments as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this action as

noncontroversial and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for the action is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this rule. If EPA receives

adverse comments, then the direct final

rule will be withdrawn and all public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period on this notice.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this notice should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed

action must be received in writing by

April 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Vicki

Stamper, 8P2–A, at the EPA Regional

Office listed below. Copies of the

documents relevant to this proposed

rule are available for public inspection

during normal business hours at the

following locations: Air Program,

[MM Docket No. 92–246; RM–8091]

Television Broadcasting Services;

Ridgecrest, CA

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

ACTION: Proposed rule; dismissal.

SUMMARY: This document denies an

Application for Review filed by Valley

Public Television, Inc. (Valley) and

affirms the staff’s dismissal of Valley’s

rulemaking petition. See 58 FR 58833

(November 4, 1993); 60 FR 31258 (June

14, 1995). The petition sought to

substitute Channel *41 for vacant

Channel *25 (reserved for

noncommercial use) at Ridgecrest, CA to

eliminate a short-spacing between

Valley’s application for a new

noncommercial station on Channel *39

at Bakersfield, CA and Channel *25 at

Ridgecrest. The Commission concluded

that the rulemaking petition was

properly dismissed as moot because

Valley had withdrawn its television

application and because no more

applications can be filed for Channel

*39 at Bakersfield. With this action, the

proceeding is terminated.

Magnuson-Stevens Act Provisions;

Foreign Fishing Vessels in Internal

Waters; Reporting Requirements

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA),

Commerce.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: NMFS proposes new

reporting requirements for foreign

fishing vessels (FFV) operating in the

internal waters of a state. FFV’s so

authorized by the Governor of a state

may engage in fish processing and

support of U.S. fishing vessels within

the internal waters of a state in

compliance with the terms and

conditions set by the authorizing

Governor. The Magnuson-Stevens

Fishery Conservation and Management

Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), as

amended by the Sustainable Fisheries

Act (SFA), now requires that FFV’s

report the tonnage and harvest location

of fish received from vessels of the

United States. The intent of this rule is

to implement the new statutory

requirements of the Magnuson-Stevens

Act and collect landings information for

management and conservation

purposes.

DATES: Comments must be received by

April 21, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be sent to

George H. Darcy, F/SF3, National

Marine Fisheries Service, 1315 EastWest Highway, Silver Spring, MD

20910. Comments regarding the

collection-of-information requirement

contained in this rule should be sent to

the above address and to the Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs,

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB), Washington, DC 20503

(Attention: NOAA Desk Officer).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

George H. Darcy, 301–713–2341.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 11, 1996, the President signed

into law the SFA (Public Law 104–297),

which made numerous amendments to

the Magnuson-Stevens Act (16 U.S.C.

1801 et seq.). Section 112(c) of the SFA

amended section 306(c) of the

Magnuson-Stevens Act to require that

the owner or operator of a FFV engaged

in fish processing and support of U.S.

fishing vessels within the internal

waters of a state submit reports on the

tonnage of fish received from vessels of

the United States and the locations from

which such fish were harvested, in

accordance with such procedures as the

Secretary of Commerce (Secretary), by

regulation, shall prescribe. NMFS, on

behalf of the Secretary, is proposing

revisions to § 600.508(f), which pertains

to foreign fishing operations in internal

waters, to implement the SFA

requirements.

The proposed provisions would

require that the owner or operator of

each FFV submit weekly reports to the

NMFS Regional Administrator. Owners

or operators would be required to

request the requirements regarding the

timing and method of submission of the

reports from the Regional Administrator

at least 15 days prior to the first receipt

of fish from a vessel of the United

States. Reports would require vessel

identification information; date of

receipt of fish; amount of fish received,

by species; and location(s) from which

the fish received were harvested. The
