SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Coast

Guard published a notice of intent

(notice) to form a negotiated rulemaking

committee on April 10, 1995 (60 FR

18061). The notice discussed the Coast

Guard’s intention to proceed in

accordance with the Negotiated

Rulemaking Act of 1990 (Pub. L. 101–

648) and establish the Chicago

Drawbridge Negotiated Rulemaking

Committee (committee) to develop

regulations that provide a permanent

and acceptable resolution to the issues

involved in drawbridge openings for

recreational vessels on the Chicago

River. Regulations governing the

operation of the drawbridges are located

at 33 CFR 117.391 and are issued under

the authority of 33 U.S.C. 499. The

notice also identified interests that

would be affected by amendments to the

current regulations. The Coast Guard

solicited comments on the issues raised

in the notice and nominations for

membership on the committee. The

closing date for comments and

nominations was May 8, 1995.

No comments were received on the

issues to be considered by the

committee. Several nominations for

membership were received. Separate

discussions were held by the neutral

facilitator engaged by the Coast Guard

with each of the interests identified in

the notice and with others identified

during the comment period. As a result,

the Coast Guard is establishing the

committee and beginning the

negotiation process. As required by the

Federal Advisory Committee Act (5

U.S.C. App.) (FACA), the committee

charter has been approved by the

Secretary of Transportation and

submitted to the General Services

Administration. The following interests

are represented on the committee: the

City of Chicago, boatyard owners,

boaters, commercial interests in

Chicago, and the Coast Guard.

The first meeting of the committee

will be held in Chicago on June 5, 1995

at the time and location indicated at the

beginning of this notice. The purpose of

the first meeting is to: (1) Discuss the

charter, goals, and mission of the

committee; (2) present the issues to be

considered by the committee; and (3)

approve the organizational protocols by

which the committee will operate. At

the first session, there will be discussion

of the negotiation and rulemaking

process and an explanation of the

statutory basis for the Coast Guard’s

drawbridge regulations.

The schedule of additional meetings

provided earlier in this notice will be

considered by the committee at its first

meeting. In order for new regulations to

be effective for the Fall 1995 close of the

boating season, committee meetings

must be concluded by 12 July 1995.

Therefore, this schedule may be

changed and additional meetings may

be held on short notice. Announcements

of these meetings will be published in

the Federal Register if time for

meaningful advance notice is available.

Information on all meetings of the

committee will be available by calling

(216) 522–3993 or from the contact

person indicated at the beginning of this

notice.

Attendance at committee meetings is

open to the public, subject to space

availability. Persons wishing to present

oral statements at a meeting should

notify the contact person no later than

the day before the meeting. Any member

of the public may submit written

statements to the committee at any time,

also through the contact person.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

EPA announced its intent to amend

the I/M Program Requirements in

December 1994 and held stakeholders’

meetings on January 24, 1995 and

January 31, 1995. The proposal creates

a second, less stringent enhanced I/M

performance standard that could be
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 96 / Thursday, May 18, 1995 / Proposed Rules 26711

used in areas that can demonstrate an

ability to meet the 1990 Clean Air Act

deadlines for Reasonable Further

Progress and attainment while

implementing an I/M program that falls

below the originally promulgated

enhanced I/M performance standard.

The proposed action would also revise

the high enhanced I/M performance

standard to include a visual inspection

of the positive crankcase ventilation

(PCV) valve on all light-duty vehicles

and light-duty trucks from model years

1968 to 1971, inclusive, and of the

exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve on

all light-duty vehicles and light-duty

trucks from model years 1972 through

1983, inclusive. The proposal also

solicits public comment on whether or

not EPA should include revised

regulatory language in its final

rulemaking which change the

population cutoff for basic I/M from

50,000 persons to 200,000 persons.

Lastly, the proposal would make

clarifying amendments to the I/M

requirements for areas undergoing

redesignation.
