and wilderness designation. There were

very few comments received concerning

aircraft use.

This rule was not subject to Office of

Management and Budget (OMB) review

under Executive Order 12866. The

Department of the Interior determined

that this document will not have a

significant economic effect on a

substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The economic effect

of this rulemaking are local in nature

and negligible in scope.

In accordance with the procedural

requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and

by Departmental guidelines in 516 DM

6 (49 FR 21438), an Environmental

Assessment (EA) which included

consultation with the U. S. Fish and

Wildlife Service and a Finding of No

Significant Impact (FONSI) have been

prepared. These documents can be

obtained by contacting the address

noted at the beginning of this

rulemaking.

[FRL–5406–4]

Protection of Stratospheric Ozone

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed extension of stay.

SUMMARY: In the Rules Section of today’s

Federal Register, EPA is announcing a

three-month administrative stay and

reconsideration of a certain reporting

requirement in the petition process for

the import of used class I controlled

substances promulgated under sections

604 and 606 of the Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990. 40 CFR

82.13(g)(2)(viii) requires the importer to

certify that the purchaser of the

controlled substance is liable for the tax.

This document proposes, pursuant to

Clean Air Act section 301(a)(1), to stay

temporarily the effectiveness of this

provision, and applicable compliance

dates, beyond the three-month

administrative stay, but only to the

extent necessary to complete

reconsideration (including any

appropriate regulatory action) of the

rule in question.

DATES: Written comments on this

proposal must be received by March 1,

1996. Requests for a hearing should be

submitted to Tom Land by February 12,

1996. Interested persons may contact

the Stratospheric Ozone Hotline at the

phone number given below to see if a

hearing will be held and the date and

location of any hearing. Any hearing

will be strictly limited to the subject

matter of this proposal, the scope of

which is discussed below.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

proposed action should be addressed to

Public Docket No. A–92–13, Waterside

Mall (Ground Floor) Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20460 in room M–1500.

All supporting materials are contained

in Docket A–92–13. Dockets may be

inspected from 8 a.m. until 5:30 p.m.,

Monday through Friday. A reasonable

fee may be charged for copying docket

materials.

Land, Stratospheric Protection Division,

Office of Air and Radiation, U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency

(6205–J), 401 M Street, SW.,

Washington, DC 20460, (202)-233–9185.

The Stratospheric Ozone Information

Hotline at 1–800–296–1996 can also be

contacted for further information.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the

rules Section of today’s Federal

Register, EPA announces that pursuant

to Clean Air Act section 307(d)(7)(B), 42

U.S.C. 7607(d)(7)(B), it is convening a

proceeding for reconsideration of 40

CFR 82.13(g)(2)(viii), which requires an

importer petitioning to import used

class I controlled substances to certify

that the purchaser of the controlled

substance is liable for the tax. Readers

should refer to that rule for a complete

discussion of the background and rules

affected. In that rule EPA also

announces a three-month stay of that

provision during reconsideration.

However, if EPA cannot complete

reconsideration (including appropriate

regulatory action) within the threemonth period expressly provided by

Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990

§ 307(d)(7)(B), then it may be

appropriate to extend the stay of this

provision until EPA completes

reconsideration. By this action, EPA

proposes a temporary extension of the

stay beyond the three-month

administrative stay to the extent

necessary to complete reconsideration

of the rule in question. If EPA takes final

action to impose this proposed stay, the

stay will extend until the effective date

of EPA’s final action following

reconsideration of this rule.

By this notice EPA hereby proposes,

pursuant to Clean Air Act sections

301(a)(1), 42 U.S.C. 7601(a)(1), a

temporary stay of the effectiveness of 40

CFR 82.13(g)(2)(viii) promulgated as a

final federal rule (60 FR 24970, May 10,

1995). Please refer to the notice of stay

and reconsideration in the Rules section

of today’s Federal Register for EPA’s

statement of its reasons for staying and

reconsidering this provision. Pursuant

to the rulemaking procedures set forth

in section 307(d) of the Clean Air Act,

EPA hereby requests comment on such

a proposed stay.

EPA is proposing this temporary stay

of the rule and associated compliance

date in order to complete

reconsideration of this rule, and,
3362 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 21 / Wednesday, January 31, 1996 / Proposed Rules

following the notice and comment

procedures of section 307(d) of the

Clean Air Act, take appropriate action.

If, after reconsideration of these

provisions, EPA determines that it is

appropriate to impose new requirements

that are stricter than the existing rules,

EPA will propose an adequate

compliance period from the date of final

action on reconsideration. EPA will seek

to ensure that the affected parties are

not unduly prejudiced by the Agency’s

reconsideration. EPA expects that any

EPA proposal regarding changes to the

tax liability certification requirement for

a petition for the import of used class I

controlled substances would be subject

to the notice and comment procedures

of Clean Air Act section 307(d).

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Tennessee:

Approval of Revisions To Process

Emission Standards for New and

Existing Cotton Gins

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

Tennessee for the purpose of revising

the current regulations for process

emission standards for new and existing

cotton gins. These revisions also

provide an optional method of using

selected controls to demonstrate

compliance with the emission

standards. 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 this proposed 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 March 1, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to Karen

Borel, at the EPA Regional Office listed

below. Copies of the documents relative

to this action are available for public

inspection during normal business

Approval of Maintenance Plan and

Designation of Areas for Air Quality

Planning Purposes; Ohio

AGENCY: United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to

approve the redesignation to attainment

requests and maintenance plans

submitted by the State of Ohio for the

Canton (Stark County), and Youngstown

(Mahoning and Trumbull Counties),

marginal ozone nonattainment areas as

revisions to Ohio’s State

Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. In

the final rules section of this Federal

Register, USEPA 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. The ‘‘direct final’’ approval

shall be effective on April 1, 1996,

unless USEPA receives adverse or

critical comments by March 1, 1996. If

USEPA receives comments adverse to or

critical of the approval discussed above,

USEPA will withdraw this approval

before its effective date by publishing a

subsequent Federal Register document

which withdraws this final action. All

public comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent rulemaking

document. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time. If no such comments are

received, USEPA hereby advises the

public that this action will be effective

on April 1, 1996. The USEPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this document.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received on or before March 1,

1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: Jay Bortzer, Chief,
