voluntary consensus standards in their 

regulatory activities unless the agency 

provides Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, with an 

explanation of why using these 

standards would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise impractical. 

Voluntary consensus standards are 

technical standards (e.g., specifications 

of materials, performance, design, or 

operation; test methods; sampling 

procedures; and related management 

systems practices) that are developed or 

adopted by voluntary consensus 

standards bodies. 

This rule does not use technical 

standards. Therefore, we did not 

consider the use of voluntary consensus 

standards. 

Environment 

We have analyzed this rule under 

Department of Homeland Security 

Management Directive 023–01 and 

Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, 

which guide the Coast Guard in 

complying with the National 

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 

(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and 

have concluded this action is one of a 

category of actions that do not 

individually or cumulatively have a 

significant effect on the human 

environment. This rule is categorically 

excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph 

(34)(h), of the Instruction. This rule 

finalizes the establishment of a special 

local regulation that was published as 

an Interim Rule with an invitation to 

comment on July 8, 2009. No comments 

were received that would affect the 

assessment of environmental impacts 

from this action. An environmental 

analysis checklist and a categorical 

exclusion determination are available in 

the docket where indicated under 

ADDRESSES.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. What is transportation conformity? 

Transportation conformity is required 

under Section 176(c) of the Clean Air 

Act to ensure that Federally supported 

highway, transit projects, and other 

activities are consistent with (conform 

to) the purpose of the SIP. Conformity 

currently applies to areas that are 

designated nonattainment, and those 

redesignated to attainment after 1990 

(maintenance areas), with plans 

developed under section 175A of the 

Clean Air Act for the following 

transportation related criteria 

pollutants: ozone, particulate matter 

(PM2.5 and PM10), carbon monoxide 

(CO), and nitrogen dioxide (NO2). 

Conformity to the purpose of the SIP 

means that transportation activities will 

not cause new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the relevant
