2014, through the Tennessee 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation on behalf of the Knox 

County Department of Air Quality 

Management (Knox County) to address 

changes to a Knox County regulation 

regarding permits. EPA is proposing to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Rules and Regulations section of this 

issue of the Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the State’s implementation 

plan revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this document. Any parties 

interested in commenting on this 

document should do so at this time.

[LLWO210000.16X.L16100000.PN0000] 

RIN 1004–AE39 

Resource Management Planning 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of 

public comment period. 

SUMMARY: On February 25, 2016, the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 

published in the Federal Register a 

proposed rule to amend existing 

regulations that establish the procedures 

used to prepare, revise, or amend land 

use plans pursuant to the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act (FLPMA). 

The proposed rule would enable the 

BLM to more readily address landscapescale resource issues, such as wildfire, 

habitat connectivity, or the demand for 

renewable and non-renewable energy 

sources and to respond more effectively 

to environmental and social changes. 

The proposed rule would further 

emphasize the role of science in the 

planning process and the importance of 

evaluating the resource, environmental, 

ecological, social, and economic 

conditions at the onset of planning. The 

proposed rule would affirm the 

important role of other Federal agencies, 

State and local governments, Indian 

tribes, and the public during the 

planning process, and would enhance 

opportunities for public involvement 

and transparency during the preparation 

of resource management plans. Finally, 

the proposed rule would make revisions 

to clarify existing text and use plain 

language to improve the readability of 

the planning regulations. This notice 

extends the public comment period for 

30 days beyond the initial commentperiod deadline. 

DATES: Send your comments on this 

proposed rule to the BLM on or before 

May 25, 2016. The BLM need not 

consider, or include in the 

administrative record for the final rule, 

comments that the BLM receives after 

the close of the comment period or 

comments delivered to an address other 

than those listed below (see ADDRESSES).
