to amend 33 CFR part 165 as follows: 

PART 165—REGULATED NAVIGATION 

AREAS AND LIMITED ACCESS AREAS 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 165 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 46 U.S.C. 70034, 70051, 70124; 

33 CFR 1.05–1, 6.04–1, 6.04–6, and 160.5; 

Department of Homeland Security Delegation 

No. 00170.1, Revision No. 01.3. 

■ 2. Add § 165.T05–1093 to read as 

follows: 

§ 165.T05–1093 Safety Zone; Cable Laying 

Corridor, Atlantic Ocean, Virginia Beach, 

Virginia. 

(a) Location. The following area is a 

moving safety zone: Any navigable 

waters located within 1000 yards in all 

directions from the Cable Laying Barge 

(CLB) ULISSE while operating off the 

coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia while 

it conducts work within 12 nm of the 

shore. The CLB operations will occur 

within a perimeter enclosed by 

positions: 36°49′4.8′′ N, 75°57′43.2′′ W; 

36°49′13.9′′ N, 75°42′39.8′′ W; 36°47′′ 

11.7′′ N, 75°41′′ 50.8′′ W and 36°48′′ 

28.8′′ N, 75°57′′ 43.2′′ W. 

(b) Definitions. As used in this 

section, designated representative 

means a Coast Guard Patrol 

Commander, including a Coast Guard 

coxswain, petty officer, or other officer 

operating a Coast Guard vessel and a 

Federal, State, and local officer 

designated by or assisting the Captain of 

the Port Sector Virginia (COTP) in the 

enforcement of the safety zone. The 

term also includes the master of a U.S.- 

flagged vessel supporting the CLB 

ULISSE for the sole purpose of 

designating and establishing safe transit 

corridors, to permit passage into or 

through this safety zones, or to notify 

vessels and individuals of the actual 

hazards present if they have entered the 

safety zone and inform them of the safe 

direction to which they should depart. 

(c) Regulations. 

(1) Under the general safety zone 

regulations in subpart C of this part, no 

vessel or person may enter or remain in 

any safety zone described in paragraph 

(a) of this section unless authorized by 

the COTP, or designated representative. 

If a vessel or person is notified by the 

COTP, or designated representative that 

they have entered one of these safety 

zones without permission, they are 

required to immediately depart in a safe 

manner following the directions given. 

(2) Mariners requesting to transit this 

safety zone must first contact the 

designated representative who will be 

monitoring VHF–FM channels 13 and 

16 while work is ongoing. If permission 

is granted, mariners must proceed at 

their own risk and strictly observe any 

and all instructions provided by the 

COTP, or designated representative to 

the mariner regarding the conditions of 

entry to and exit from any location 

within the moving safety zone. 

(d) Enforcement. The Sector Virginia 

COTP may enforce the regulations in 

this section and may be assisted by any 

Federal, state, county, or municipal law 

enforcement agency. 

(e) Enforcement period. This section 

will be subject to enforcement from 

January 25, 2025, until January 25, 2026. 

If cable laying work is completed before 

January 25, 2026, or for a different 

reason the COTP determines the zone 

need no longer be enforced, they will 

issue a general permission to enter. 

Dated: December 26, 2024.

II. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

The EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Kansas SIP and the 

Operating Permits Program received on 

February 20, 2023. 

The revisions incorporate recent 

changes to Kansas Administrative 

Regulations (K.A.R.). The following 

regulations are amended: 

• K.A.R. 28–19–517. Class I operating 

permits; annual emission inventory and 

fees. 

• K.A.R. 28–19–546. Class II 

operating permits; annual emission 

inventory and fees. and 

• K.A.R. 28–19–564. Class II 

operating permits; permits-by-rule; 

sources with actual emissions less than 

50 percent of major source thresholds. 

The revisions restructure and update 

the Kansas Class I Operating Permit 

Program fee schedule for calendar year 

2025 and beyond to bring in adequate 

revenue to support the Class I Operating 

Permit Program and establish a fee 

schedule for the Class II Federally 

Enforceable State Operating Permit 

(FESOP) Program. EPA proposes to find 

that these revisions meet the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act, do 

not impact the stringency of the SIP, 

and do not adversely impact air quality. 

The full text of these changes can be 

found in the State’s submission, which 

is included in the docket for this action. 

On November 26, 2024, Kansas 

requested that EPA exclude the term 

‘‘electronically’’ from two places in the 

February 20, 2023, submittal because 

KDHE’s State and Local Emissions 

Inventory System (SLEIS) is not 

currently approved by the EPA to meet 

the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting 

Rule (CROMERR) at 40 CFR part 3. 

III. What operating permit plan 

revisions are being proposed by EPA? 

The EPA is proposing to approve the 

following revision to the Operating 

Permit Program: 

K.A.R. 28–19–517. Class I operating 

permits; annual emission inventory and 

fees. The State amended K.A.R. 28–19– 

517(b) annual emission fee language to 

maintain the existing fee schedule of 

$1,000 base fee or $53 per ton criteria 

emissions fee for calendar year 2022, 

2023 and 2024 and to establish a new 

fee schedule for calendar year 2025 and 

each subsequent year to be the sum of 

the facility fee, the hazardous air 

pollutant (HAP) emissions fee, and the 

criteria emissions fee. The revisions to 

K.A.R. 28–19–517(b)(2)(A) maintains 

the minimum $1,000 facility fee, but 

applies it in addition to the revised 

criteria emissions fee and new 

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) fee; all 

applied in calendar year 2025 and 

beyond. The revision to K.A.R. 28–19– 

517(b)(2)(B) establishes an annual 

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) fee of 

$80.00 per ton of total HAP emissions 

for calendar year 2025 and beyond. The 

revisions to K.A.R. 28–19–517(b)(2)(C) 

amends the existing criteria emissions 

fee from $53.00 (effective through 

calendar year 2024) to $56.00 per ton of 

criteria emissions for calendar year 2025 

and beyond. 

EPA finds these changes meet the 

requirements of 40 CFR part 70 and do 

not negatively impact the stringency of 

the Operating Permit Program. 

IV. What SIP revisions are being 

proposed by EPA? 

The EPA is proposing the following 

revisions to the Kansas SIP: 

K.A.R. 28–19–546. Class II operating 

permits; annual emission inventory and 

fees: The State amended K.A.R. 28–19– 

546 by adding new paragraphs (a) 

through (d) to align with the Class I 

annual emissions inventory and fee 

regulation K.A.R. 28–19–517. New 

paragraph (b) establishes annual 

emission fees beginning in calendar year 

2025 of $56 per ton of criteria emissions 

and $80 per ton of HAP emissions. New 

paragraph (c) describes the submittal 

requirements for both inventory and 

fees and new paragraph (d) adds late fee 

and refund language. EPA finds this 

change meets the requirements of CAA 

section 110 and does not negatively 

impact the stringency of the SIP. 

K.A.R. 28–19–564. Class II operating 

permits; permits-by-rule; sources with 

actual emissions less than 50 percent of 

major source thresholds: The State 

amended K.A.R. 28–19–564 paragraph 

(e) to require all permits-by-rule Class II 

sources and those with actual emissions 

less than 50 percent of major source 

thresholds to submit annual emissions 

inventory and fees by April 1 of each 

year (currently February 15) as required 

by the proposed K.A.R. 28–19–546. EPA 

finds this change meets the 

requirements of CAA section 110 and 

does not negatively impact the 

stringency of the SIP. 

V. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP and the operating permit plan 

revisions been met? 

The State submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. The State provided 

public notice on this SIP revision from 

August 25, 2022, to November 3, 2022, 

and received four comments. Kansas did 

not revise the rule based on public 

comment prior to submitting to EPA, as 

noted in the State submission included 

in the docket for this action. In addition, 

as explained above the revision meets 

the substantive SIP requirements of the 

CAA, including section 110 and 

implementing regulations. 

VI. What action is the EPA taking? 

We are processing this as a proposed 

action because we are soliciting 

comments on this proposed action. 

Final rulemaking will occur after 

consideration of any comments. 

VII. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, the EPA is 

proposing to include regulatory text in 

an EPA final rule that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of K.A.R. 28– 

19–546 and K.A.R. 28–19–564 as 

discussed in sections II and IV of this 

preamble and set forth below in the 

proposed amendments to 40 CFR part 

52. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these materials 

generally available through 

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 7 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act and 

applicable Federal regulations. 42 

U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, 

in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve State choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this 

action merely approves 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 

21879, April 11, 2023); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 9 / Wednesday, January 15, 2025 / Proposed Rules 3733 

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 subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

because it approves a State program; 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); and 

• 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 Clean Air Act. 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a 

Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

Tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on Tribal 

governments or preempt Tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies 

to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on communities with 

environmental justice (EJ) concerns to 

the greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law. Executive Order 

(E.O.) 14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s 

Commitment to Environmental Justice 

for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) 

builds on and supplements E.O. 12898 

and defines EJ as, among other things, 

the just treatment and meaningful 

involvement of all people, regardless of 

income, race, color, national origin, or 

Tribal affiliation, or disability in agency 

decision-making and other Federal 

activities that affect human health and 

the environment. 

The Kansas Department of Health and 

Environment (KDHE) did not evaluate 

EJ considerations as part of its SIP 

submittal; the CAA and applicable 

implementing regulations neither 

prohibit nor require such an evaluation. 

EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and 

did not consider EJ in this action. Due 

to the nature of the action being taken 

here, this action is expected to have a 

neutral to positive impact on the air 

quality of the affected area. 

Consideration of EJ is not required as 

part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898/14096 

of achieving EJ for communities with EJ 

concerns.

Reconsideration of Standards of 

Performance for New, Reconstructed, 

and Modified Sources and Emissions 

Guidelines for Existing Sources: Oil 

and Natural Gas Sector Climate Review 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments 

to the New Source Performance 

Standards and Emission Guidelines for 

Existing Sources for the Crude Oil and 

Natural Gas Source Category in response 

to petitions for reconsideration. 

Specifically, this action proposes 

discrete technical changes to two 

different aspects of the rules. First, this 

action proposes discrete technical 

changes to the temporary flaring 

provisions for associated gas in certain 

situations. Second, this action proposes 

discrete technical changes to the vent 

gas net heating value (NHV) continuous 

monitoring requirements and alternative 

performance test (sampling 

demonstration) option for flares and 

enclosed combustion devices. In a letter 

dated May 6, 2024, the EPA notified 

petitioners and the public that the 

Agency granted reconsideration on 

these two aspects of the March 8, 2024 

(89 FR 16820) final rule. These 

amendments neither propose changes to 

any other aspect of the final rule, nor 

propose to alter the substance of any 

emission standards within the final rule. 

Also, in this action, the EPA proposes 

to make formatting changes to the 

regulatory text to meet the required 

formatting standards of the Office of the 

Federal Register.

contact the public hearing team at (888) 

372–8699 or by email at 

SPPDpublichearing@epa.gov. The last 

day to pre-register to speak at the 

hearing will be January 27, 2025. Prior 

to the hearing, the EPA will post a 

general agenda that will list preregistered speakers at: https://

www.epa.gov/controlling-air-pollutionoil-and-natural-gas-operations. 

The EPA will make every effort to 

follow the schedule as closely as 

possible on the day of the hearing; 

however, please plan for the hearings to 

run either ahead of schedule or behind 

schedule. Each commenter will have 4 

minutes to provide oral testimony. The 

EPA encourages commenters to submit 

a copy of their oral testimony as written 

comments to the rulemaking docket. 

The EPA may ask clarifying questions 

during the oral presentations but will 

not respond to the presentations at that 

time. Written statements and supporting 

information submitted during the 

comment period will be considered 

with the same weight as oral testimony 

and supporting information presented at 

the public hearing. 

Please note that any updates made to 

any aspect of the hearing will be posted 

online at https://www.epa.gov/ 

controlling-air-pollution-oil-andnatural-gas-operations. While the EPA 

expects the hearing to go forward as set 

forth above, please monitor these 

websites or contact the public hearing 

team at (888) 372–8699 or by email at
