Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 86 / Thursday, May 3, 2001 / Proposed Rules 22141

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to remove

the conditional status of its approval of

the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision that requires all major sources

of volatile organic compounds (VOC)

and nitrogen oxides ( NOX) to

implement reasonably available control

technology (RACT). In the ‘‘Rules and

Regulations’’ section of this Federal

Register, EPA is removing the

conditional nature of its approval of the

Commonwealth’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial submittal and

anticipates no adverse comments. The

rationale for removing the conditional

status of EPA’s approval is set forth in

the direct final rule. If EPA receives no

adverse comments, EPA will not take

further action on this proposed rule. If

EPA receives adverse comments, EPA

will withdraw the direct final rule and

it will not take effect. EPA will address

all public comments in a subsequent

final rule based on this proposed rule.

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.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by June 4, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to David L. Arnold, Chief,

Air Quality Planning and Information

Services Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region III, 1650 Arch Street,

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

Copies of the documents relevant to this

action are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the Air Protection Division,

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

Region III, 1650 Arch Street,

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103, and

Clean Air Act Approval and

Promulgation of the Redesignation of

Shelby County, TN, to Attainment for

Lead

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

the State Implementation Plan

submitted on February 15, 2001, by the

Memphis and Shelby County Health

Department through the Tennessee

Department of Environment and

Conservation for the purpose of

redesignating Shelby County from

nonattainment to attainment for the lead

national ambient air quality standard. In

the Final Rules section of this Federal

Register, the EPA is approving the

State’s SIP 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 action, 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. The 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.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before June 4. 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Kimberly Bingham, at

the EPA Regional Office listed below.

The interested persons wanting to

examine these documents should make

SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and

Wildlife Service, published a proposed

rule to establish critical habitat for the

robust spineflower (Chorizanthe robusta

var. robusta) in the Federal Register on

February 15, 2001. The proposed rule

contained several errors in the map and

legal description for the Freedom

mapping unit (Unit D). This document

contains corrections to the proposed

rule to designate critical habitat for

Chorizanthe robusta var. robusta for this

proposed critical habitat unit.

DATES: We will accept comments until

the close of business on June 4, 2001.

Requests for public hearings must be

received by May 23, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Comment submission: If

you wish to comment, you may submit

Diane Noda, Field Supervisor, at the

address above (telephone 805/644–1766;

facsimile 805/644–3958).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 15, 2001, we proposed

critical habitat for the robust

spineflower (Chorizanthe robusta var.

robusta), pursuant to the Endangered

Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act)

(16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) (66 FR 10419).

A total of approximately 660 hectares

(ha) (1,635 acres (ac)) of land fall within

the boundaries of the proposed critical

habitat designation, all in Santa Cruz

County, California.

The proposed rulemaking contained

errors in the mapping and legal

description for the Freedom mapping

unit (Unit D). In the proposed rule, we

inadvertently mapped this unit to the

north and east of the correct location.

We are providing a corrected

Geographic Information System (GIS)

map and a corrected legal description of

the mapping unit. The GIS map is

provided to help the public understand

the general location of the proposed

critical habitat. A corrected version of

Table 5 is also provided; this table

provides approximate areas of proposed

critical habitat for Chorizanthe robusta

var. robusta by land ownership. The

corrected table indicates that for the

Freedom Unit, approximately 3.8 ha (9.5

ac) are on private lands and 0.2 ha (0.5

ac) are on lands under local jurisdiction.

Public Comments Solicited

We intend that any final action

resulting from this technical

clarification be as accurate as possible.

Comments and suggestions from the

public, concerned governmental

entities, private interests, or any other

interested party are solicited. Comments

are invited specifically concerning:

(1) Biological data concerning any

threat (or lack thereof) to Chorizanthe

robusta var. robusta;

(2) The location of any additional

populations of the species, and the

reasons why any habitat in should or

should not be designated as critical

habitat, as provided by section 4 of the

Act;

(3) Additional information concerning

the range, distribution, and population

size of Chorizanthe robusta var. robusta;

and

(4) Current or planned activities

within the proposed critical habitat

units and their possible impacts on the

species.

National Environmental Policy Act

We have determined that

environmental assessments and

environmental impact statements, as

defined in the National Environmental

Policy Act of 1969, need not be

prepared in connection with regulations

adopted pursuant to section 4(a) of the

Act. We published a notice outlining

our reasons for this determination in the

Federal Register on October 25, 1983

(48 FR 49244).

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain any new

collections of information other than

those already approved under the

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq., and assigned Office of

Management and Budget clearance

number 1018–0094. An agency may not

conduct or sponsor, and a person is not

required to respond to, a collection of

information unless it displays a

currently valid control number. For

additional information concerning

permit and associated requirements for

endangered species, see 50 CFR 17.62

and 17.63.

Author(s)

The primary authors of this proposed

rule is Connie Rutherford (see

ADDRESSES section), and Barbara Behan,

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 911 N.E.

11th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97232

(telephone 503/231–6131).

Authority

The authority for this action is the

Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531

et seq.)

1Approximate acres have been converted to hectares (1 ha = 2.47 ac). Based on the level of imprecision of mapping of each unit, hectares

and acres greater than 10 have been rounded to the nearest 5; hectares and acres less than or equal to 10 have been rounded to the nearest

whole number. Totals are sums of units.
