32 CFR Part 706

Certifications and Exemptions Under

the International Regulations for

Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972;

Amendment

AGENCY: Department of the Navy, DOD.

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Department of the Navy

is amending its certifications and

exemptions under the International

Regulations for Preventing Collisions at

Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that

the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy has

determined that USS CURTIS WILBUR

(DDG 54) is a vessel of the Navy which,

due to its special construction and

purpose, cannot comply fully with

certain provisions of the 72 COLREGS

without interfering with its special

functions as a naval ship. The intended

effect of this rule is to warn mariners in

waters where 72 COLREGS apply.

EFFECTIVE DATE: May 1, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Judge Advocate General, Navy

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.

1605, the Department of the Navy

amends 32 CFR Part 706. This

amendment provides notice that the

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) of the Navy, under

authority delegated by the Secretary of

the Navy, has certified that USS CURTIS

WILBUR (DDG 54) is a vessel of the

Navy which, due to its special

construction and purpose, cannot

comply fully with the following specific

provision of 72 COLREGS without

interfering with its special function as a

naval ship: Annex I, section 3(a)

pertaining to the location of the forward

masthead light in the forward quarter of

the vessel, and the horizontal distance

between the forward and after masthead

lights; and, Annex I, section 2(f)(i)

pertaining to placement of the masthead

light or lights above and clear of all

other lights and obstructions. The

Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate

General (Admiralty) has also certified

that the lights involved are located in

closest possible compliance with the

applicable 72 COLREGS requirements.

Moreover, it has been determined, in

accordance with 32 CFR Parts 296 and

701, that publication of this amendment

for public comment prior to adoption is

impracticable, unnecessary, and

contrary to public interest since it is

based on technical findings that the

placement of lights on this vessel in a

manner differently from that prescribed

herein will adversely affect the vessel’s

ability to perform its military functions.

[CA–64–1–6997; FRL–5202–4]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; State of California, Approval

of the Maintenance Plan for the San

Francisco Bay Area and Redesignation

of the San Francisco Bay Area to

Attainment; Approval of Emissions

Inventory; Approval of NOX Exemption

Petition

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving a

redesignation request and maintenance

plan for the San Francisco Bay Area as

a revision to California’s State

Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. In

addition, EPA is approving the 1990

base year emissions inventory and a

petition requesting an exemption from

the section 182(f) nitrogen oxides (NOX)

requirements for the area.

On April 13, 1994, EPA notified the

State of California that EPA had made

a finding of incompleteness for required

programs under the Clean Air Act (CAA

or the Act). The EPA’s redesignation of

the San Francisco Bay Area to

attainment and approval of the 1990

emissions inventory abrogates those

requirements for the area. Therefore, the

sanctions and federal implementation

plan clocks begun by those findings are

stopped at the time of this

redesignation.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This final rule will

become effective on June 21, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the documents

relevant to this action are available for

public inspection during normal

business hours at the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

A. Ozone Redesignation Request and

Maintenance Plan

The San Francisco Bay Area ozone

nonattainment area has attained the

National Ambient Air Quality Standard

(NAAQS) for ozone based on three years

of quality assured ambient air quality

data, for the period 1990–1992.

Therefore, in accordance with the CAA,

as amended in 1990, and to ensure

continued attainment of the standard for

at least 10 years, the State of California

has submitted an ozone maintenance

plan which projects continued

attainment of the ozone NAAQS in the

San Francisco Bay Area.

The maintenance plan submitted for

the San Francisco Bay Area meets all

applicable requirements of the CAA.

The San Francisco Bay Area submittal

complies with section 175A of the Act

which sets forth maintenance plan

requirements for areas seeking

redesignation from nonattainment to

attainment. The plan demonstrates

attainment of the NAAQS for at least 10

years after the area is redesignated.

Eight years after the redesignation, the

state commits to submit a revised

maintenance plan which demonstrates

attainment for the ten year period

following the initial ten year period. In

the event of a NAAQS violation, the

maintenance plan contains contingency

measures adequate to ensure prompt

correction of the air quality problem.

The state submittal being approved

today contains a redesignation request

in which the state demonstrates that the

area has fulfilled the redesignation

requirements of the CAA pursuant to

section 107(d)(3)(E), a NOX exemption

petition pursuant to section 182(f), and

a 1990 emissions inventory of ozone

precursors pursuant to section 182(a) for

the area.

On September 28, 1994 (59 FR 49361–

49370), EPA published a notice of

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the

State of California SIP. The NPRM

proposed that the San Francisco Bay

Area be redesignated from

nonattainment to attainment for ozone

and that the maintenance plan

submitted by the State of California as

a revision to the California SIP be

approved contingent upon EPA taking

final rulemaking action to approve

various SIP deficiencies for the San

Francisco Bay Area (including volatile

organic compound (VOC) reasonable

available control technology (RACT)

corrections, emission statement rule,

NSR corrections) and California’s

submittal of the ozone maintenance

plan amendments to the contingency

plan and the 1990 base year emissions

inventory. In addition, the NPRM

proposed approval of a NOX waiver

petition and 1990 base year emissions

inventory.

Since that time, the EPA has taken

final rulemaking action to approve both

the volatile organic compound (VOC)

reasonable available control technology

(RACT) rules which resolve the

deficiencies and the emission statement

rule. Below is the list of rules that the

EPA has approved since the time of

proposed rulemaking on the

redesignation. These approvals remove

one of the conditions for redesignation

of the San Francisco Bay Area.
