62792 Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 1995 / Proposed Rules

showing the maximum peak particle

velocity in blasting operations.

III. Public Comment Procedures

In accordance with the provisions of

30 CFR 732.17(h), OSM is seeking

comments on whether the proposed

amendment satisfies the applicable

program approval criteria of 30 CFR

732.15. If the amendment is deemed

adequate, it will become part of the

Colorado program.

1. Written Comments

Written comments should be specific,

pertain only to the issues proposed in

this rulemaking, and include

explanations in support of the

commenter’s recommendations.

Comments received after the time

indicated under DATES or at locations

other than the Denver Field Division

will not necessarily be considered in the

final rulemaking or included in the

administrative record.

2. Public Hearing

Persons wishing to testify at the

public hearing should contact the

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT by 4:00 p.m.,

m.s.t., on December 22, 1995. Any

disabled individual who has need for a

special accommodation to attend a

public hearing should contact the

individual listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. The location and

time of the hearing will be arranged

with those persons requesting the

hearing. If no one requests an

opportunity to testify at the public

hearing, the hearing will not be held.

Filing of a written statement at the

time of the hearing is requested as it

will greatly assist the transcriber.

Submission of written statements in

advance of the hearing will allow OSM

officials to prepare adequate responses

and appropriate questions.

The public hearing will continue on

the specified date until all persons

scheduled to testify have been heard.

Persons in the audience who have not

been scheduled to testify, and who wish

to do so, will be heard following those

who have been scheduled. The hearing

will end after all persons scheduled to

testify and persons present in the

audience who wish to testify have been

heard.

3. Public Meeting

If only one person requests an

opportunity to testify at a hearing, a

public meeting, rather than a public

hearing, may be held. Persons wishing

to meet with OSM representative to

discuss the proposed amendment may

request a meeting by contacting the

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. All such meetings

will be open to the public and, if

possible, notices of meetings will be

posted at the locations listed under

ADDRESSES. A written summary of each

meeting will be made a part of the

administrative record.

IV. Procedural Determinations

1. Executive Order 12866

This rule is exempted from review by

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) under Executive Order 12866

(Regulatory Planning and Review).

2. Executive Order 12778

The Department of the interior has

conducted the reviews required by

section 2 of Executive Order 12778

(Civil Justice Reform) and has

determined that this rule meets the

applicable standards of subsections (a)

and (b) of that section. However, these

standards are not applicable to the

actual language of State regulatory

programs and program amendments

since each such program is drafted and

promulgated by a specific State, not by

OSM. Under sections 503 and 505 of

SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1253 and 1255) and

the Federal regulations at 30 CFR

730.11, 732.15, and 732.17(h)(10),

decisions on proposed State regulatory

programs and program amendments

submitted by the States must be based

solely on a determination of whether the

submittal is consistent with SMCRA and

its implementing Federal regulations

and whether the other requirements of

30 CFR Parts 730, 731, and 732 have

been met.

3. National Environmental Policy Act

No environmental impact statement is

required for this rule since section

702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1292(d))

provides that agency decisions on

proposed State regulatory program

provisions do not constitute major

Federal actions within the meaning of

section 102(2)(C) of the National

Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)).

4. Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain

information collection requirements that

require approval by OMB under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507 et seq.).

5. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of the Interior has

determined that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The State submittal

that is the subject of this rule is based

upon counterpart Federal regulations for

which an economic analysis was

prepared and certification made that

such regulations would not have a

significant economic effect upon a

substantial number of small entities.

Accordingly, this rule will ensure that

existing requirements previously

promulgated by OSM will be

implemented by the State. In making the

determination as to whether this rule

would have a significant economic

impact, the Department relied upon the

data and assumptions for the

counterpart Federal regulations.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; State of New Jersey;

Revised Policy Regarding Applicability

of Oxygenated Fuels Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

a request made by the New Jersey

Department of Environmental Protection

(NJDEP) to redesignate Camden County

and nine not-classified areas, which

includes the City of Atlantic City, the

City of Burlington, the Borough of

Freehold, the City of Morristown, the

Borough of Penns Grove (part), the City

of Perth Amboy, the Borough of

Somerville, the City of Toms River, and

the City of Trenton, from nonattainment

to attainment for carbon monoxide (CO).

EPA’s determination to approve New

Jersey’s request is based on the fact that

New Jersey demonstrates compliance

with the requirements of section

107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act (CAA)

for redesignation. EPA is also proposing

to approve the Camden County and the

nine not-classified CO maintenance

plans submitted by NJDEP because EPA
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 235 / Thursday, December 7, 1995 / Proposed Rules 62793

finds that New Jersey’s submittal meets

the requirements of section 175(A) of

the CAA. In addition, EPA is proposing

approval of New Jersey’s 1990 base year

CO emissions inventory for Camden

County and the nine not-classified

areas. In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving New

Jersey’s redesignation request,

maintenance plan, and emission

inventory as identified therein, as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision 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 that direct final rule no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed rule. 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 proposed rule. Any

parties interested in commenting on this

action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing on or before January 8, 1996.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be

addressed to: William S. Baker, Chief,

Air Programs Branch, Environmental

Protection Agency, Region II Office, 290

Broadway, 20th Floor, New York, New

York, 10007–1866.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning

Purposes; State of Florida

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of

Florida for the purpose of redesignating

the Tampa Florida ozone O3

nonattainment area to attainment. 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

revision amendment 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 that direct final

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this proposed rule. 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: To be considered, comments

must be received by January 8, 1996.

Clean Air Act Proposed Interim

Approval of Operating Permits

Program; Mariposa Air Pollution

Control District, California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes interim

approval of the title V operating permits

program submitted by the Mariposa Air

Pollution Control District (Mariposa or

District) for the purpose of complying

with federal requirements that mandate

that states develop, and submit to EPA,

programs for issuing operating permits

to all major stationary sources and to

certain other sources. Today’s action

also proposes approval of Mariposa’s

mechanism for receiving delegation of

section 112 standards as promulgated.

In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, EPA is promulgating

interim approval of Mariposa’s title V

program as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because EPA views this

submittal as noncontroversial and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for this approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse comments are received in

response to this proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this rulemaking. If EPA

receives adverse comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all
