Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision; Bay

Area Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which

control oxides of nitrogen (NO X) from

industrial boilers, steam generators, and

process heaters; stationary internal

combustion engines; stationary gas

turbines; electric power generating

boilers; and glass melting furnaces. The

intended effect of proposing approval of

these rules is to regulate emissions of

NO X in accordance with the

requirements of the Clean Air Act, as

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The

rules are being approved into the SIP in

accordance with the area’s ozone

maintenance plan for redesignation to

attainment. In the Rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State’s SIP revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

action and anticipates no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for this

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 74 / Thursday, April 17, 1997 / Proposed Rules 18731

action, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this action.

If EPA receives adverse comments, 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this document. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by May 19,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to: Andrew

Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR–4), Air

Division, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region IX, 75 Hawthorne

Street, San Francisco, CA 94105–3901.

Copies of the rules and EPA’s

evaluation report of each rule are

available for public inspection at EPA’s

ACTION: Notice of amendments to CITES

Appendices proposed by foreign

countries and public meeting.

SUMMARY: The Convention on

International Trade in Endangered

Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES

or Convention) regulates international

trade in certain animals and plants.

Species for which trade is controlled are

listed in Appendices I, II, and III to

CITES. Any country that is a party to

CITES may propose amendments to

Appendix I or II for consideration by the

other Parties.

This notice announces the tentative

negotiating positions of the United

States on proposals submitted by Parties

other than the United States and invites

information and comments on these

proposals in order to develop

negotiating positions for the U.S.

delegation. The proposals will be

considered at the tenth regular Meeting

of the Conference of the Parties (COP10)

to be held in Harare, Zimbabwe, June 9–

20, 1997.

DATES: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife

Service (Service) will consider all

comments received through May 9,

1997, in developing negotiating

positions. In addition the public will

have opportunity for input at a public

meeting to be held on April 25, 1997

(see elsewhere in this notice). The

Service plans to publish a notice of its

negotiating positions prior to COP10.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Convention on International

Trade in Endangered Species of Wild

Fauna and Flora, hereinafter referred to

as CITES or the Convention, is an

international treaty designed to regulate

international trade in certain animal and

plant species which are or may become

threatened with extinction and are

listed in Appendices to the Convention.

Currently, 135 countries, including the

United States, are CITES Parties. CITES

calls for biennial meetings of the

Conference of the Parties, which review

its implementation, make provisions

enabling the CITES Secretariat in

Switzerland to carry out its functions for

the Parties, consider amendments to the

list of species in Appendices I and II,

consider reports presented by the

Secretariat, and make recommendations

for improving the effectiveness of the

Convention. The tenth regular meeting

of the Conference of the Parties (COP10)

will be held in Harare, Zimbabwe, June

9–20, 1997.

This notice is part of a series of

notices which, together with public

meetings, encourage the public to

participate in the development of the

U.S. positions for COP10. In a March 1,

1996 Federal Register notice (61 FR

8019), the Service requested public

recommendations or draft proposals to

amend Appendix I or II that the United

States might consider proposing at

COP10. That notice described the

provisions of CITES for listing species

in the Appendices and set forth

information requirements for proposals,

based on new listing criteria adopted by

the Parties at COP9. Federal Register

notices on August 28, 1996 (61 FR

44324) and December 20, 1996 (61 FR

67293) requested additional comments

from the public on species proposals

still being considered after review of

materials received in response to the

March 1, 1996, notice. On the basis of

a thorough review of comments

received, the Service identified those

proposals that met the listing criteria

and presented the most compelling

bases for amending the Appendices.

These proposals to amend the

Appendices were submitted to the

CITES Secretariat on January 10, 1997,

to be considered and voted upon by the

Parties at COP10. The decisions on the

various proposals and the rationale for

each will be published in another

Federal Register notice.
