Ventura County is requesting the Corps 

modify the existing restricted area to 

realign subsections (designated Alpha, 

Bravo and Charlie) within the restricted 

area to better match current operational 

requirements. In addition, the proposed 

rule would correct a mapping error in 

the original rule. The perimeter and 

overall size of the existing restricted 

area would remain unchanged. San 

Nicolas Island is wholly owned by the 

United States and operated by the U.S. 

Navy as part of Naval Base Ventura 

County.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Executive Summary 

The purpose of this regulatory action 

is to amend an existing restricted area 

to realign subsections in a manner that 

better matches the U.S. Navy’s current 

operational needs. Vessels would only 

be prohibited from entering the 

restricted area during closure periods. 

The amendment would also update 

various titles and contact references to 

current command structure and names, 

and correct a mapping error in the 

original rule. 

The Corps authority to amend this 

restricted area is Section 7 of the Rivers 

and Harbors Act of 1917 (40 Stat 266; 

33 U.S.C. 1) and Chapter XIX of the 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
70006 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 226 / Friday, November 22, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

Army Appropriations Act of 1919 (40 

Stat 892; 33 U.S.C. 3). 

Background 

The restricted area around San 

Nicolas Island was established by 

regulation in 1965. The original and 

later revised regulations specifically 

allow fishing in the other two sections, 

except when closed by the Commander, 

Pacific Missile Range. The restricted 

area regulations also establish a 300 

yard no-access buffer around the island 

and specifically prohibit landing on the 

island. 

As presently designed, the restricted 

area does not match Naval Base Ventura 

County’s current operational needs. 

While the existing focus of the restricted 

area is section Alpha, current operations 

are primarily focused to the west, over 

section Bravo. The boundaries of the 

three areas also bisect the north side of 

the island and would be better defined 

by a separation at the east end between 

sections Alpha and Charlie. There is 

also an error in the current regulation, 

which incorrectly designates one point 

of section Alpha’s boundary. 

Section Alpha regulations restrict 

commercial trawl fishing and other 

‘‘fishing operations.’’ Commercial 

fishing is now common within section 

Alpha and most of the fishing at and 

around the island occurs in section 

Alpha. 

Additionally, current regulations (see 

33 CFR 334.980(d)(2) and (d)(4)), restrict 

all vessels except fishing vessels, range 

craft, and vessels cleared for entry, from 

sections Bravo or Charlie at any time, 

except in emergency. This is also not 

enforced. 

The proposed change would modify 

33 CFR 334.980 to update the 

regulations and more adequately 

support the present operational needs. 

The proposal would change the 

boundaries of the restricted area 

sections into western, eastern and 

northern areas. This change would make 

the areas more aligned with visible 

features on the island. The U.S. Navy 

could still open and close these sections 

in part or in whole depending on 

operational needs. The proposed change 

would remove references to range 

marker poles, given that the majority of 

boaters use Global Positioning Systems 

to determine location and the need for 

markers (and subsequent maintenance 

of markers) no longer exists. 

The proposal would remove 

references to fishing restrictions to 

clarify that the Navy does not regulate 

fishing, but rather closes areas to all 

access when necessary for operations. 

The proposal would update titles and 

contact references to match current 

command structure. 

Procedural Requirements 

a. Review Under Executive Order 12866 

This proposed rule is issued with 

respect to a military function of the 

Defense Department and the provisions 

of Executive Order 12866 do not apply. 

b. Review Under the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act 

This proposed rule has been reviewed 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

(Pub. L. 96–354) which requires the 

preparation of a regulatory flexibility 

analysis for any regulation that will 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities 

(i.e., small businesses and small 

governments). Unless information is 

obtained to the contrary during the 

public notice comment period, the 

Corps expects that the amendment of 

this restricted area would have 

practically no economic impact on the 

public, no anticipated navigational 

hazard, or interference with existing 

waterway traffic. This proposed rule if 

adopted, will have no significant 

economic impact on small entities. 

c. Review Under the National 

Environmental Policy Act 

Due to the administrative nature of 

this action and because there is no 

intended change in the use of the area, 

the Corps expects that this regulation, if 

adopted, will not have a significant 

impact to the quality of the human 

environment and, therefore, preparation 

of an environmental impact statement 

will not be required. An environmental 

assessment will be prepared after the 

public notice period is closed and all 

comments have been received and 

considered. After it is prepared, it may 

be reviewed at the District office listed 

at the end of the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section, above. 

d. Unfunded Mandates Act 

This proposed rule does not impose 

an enforceable duty among the private 

sector and, therefore, it is not a Federal 

private sector mandate and it is not 

subject to the requirements of either 

Section 202 or Section 205 of the 

Unfunded Mandates Act. We have also 

found under Section 203 of the Act, that 

small governments will not be 

significantly and uniquely affected by 

this rulemaking. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 334

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

two revisions to the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for Missouri 

that were submitted on September 5, 

2012. The revision to the Missouri rule 

‘‘Restriction of Emission of Sulfur 

Compounds’’ will remove redundant 

sulfur dioxide standards and outdated 

compliance dates. Due to these 

revisions, several within-rule references 

will be amended. Revisions to the 

Missouri rule ‘‘Emissions Banking and 

Trading’’ will remove all definitions, as 

they are now included in the general 

definitions rule. The reference to the 

state’s Ambient Air Quality Standards 

rule that is included in the definition of 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

will also be removed. The revisions to 

Missouri’s rules do not have an adverse 

affect on air quality. EPA’s approval of 

this SIP revision is being done in 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

December 23, 2013. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2013–0585, by mail to Amy

email at bhesania.amy@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this issue of the 

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 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant 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 action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule, and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information,
