PART 62—SUPPORTIVE SERVICES 

FOR VETERAN FAMILIES PROGRAM 

■ 1. The authority citation for part 62 

continues to read as follows: 

Authority: 38 U.S.C. 501, 2044, and as 

noted in specific sections. 

■ 2. Amend § 62.25 by adding paragraph 

(d) to read as follows: 

§ 62.25 Selecting grantees for renewal of 

supportive services grants. 

* * * * * 

(d) At its discretion, VA may award 

any non-renewed funds to an applicant 

or existing grantee. If VA chooses to 

award non-renewed funds to an 

applicant or existing grantee, funds will 

be awarded as follows: 

(1) VA will first offer to award the 

non-renewed funds to the applicant or 

grantee with the highest grant score 

under the relevant Notice of Fund 

Availability that applies for, or is 

awarded a renewal grant in, the same 

community as, or a proximate 

community to, the affected community. 

Such applicant or grantee must have the 

capacity and agree to provide prompt 

services to the affected community. 

Under this § 62.25, the relevant Notice 

of Fund Availability is the most recently 

published Notice of Fund Availability 

which covers the geographic area that 

includes the affected community, or for 

multi-year grant awards, the Notice of 

Fund Availability for which the grantee, 

who is offered the additional funds, 

received the multi-year award. 

(2) If the first such applicant or 

grantee offered the non-renewed funds 

refuses the funds, VA will offer to award 

the funds to the next highest-ranked 

such applicant or grantee, per the 

criteria in paragraph (d)(1) of this 

section, and continue on in rank order 

until the non-renewed funds are 

awarded. 

* * * * * 

■ 3. Amend § 62.36 by revising 

paragraph (c)(2) to read as follows: 

§ 62.36 General operation requirements. 

* * * * * 

(c) * * * 

(2) The grantee must provide each 

participant with a satisfaction survey, 

which the participant can submit 

directly to VA, within 30 days of such 

participant’s pending exit from the 

grantee’s program. 

* * * * * 

■ 4. Amend § 62.80 by revising 

paragraph (d)(2) to read as follows: 

§ 62.80 Withholding, suspension, 

deobligation, termination, and recovery of 

funds by VA. 

* * * * * 

(d) * * * 

(2) At its discretion, VA may readvertise in a Notice of Fund 

Availability the availability of funds 

that have been deobligated under this 

section or award deobligated funds to an 

applicant or existing grantee. If VA 

chooses to award deobligated funds to 

an applicant or existing grantee, funds 

will be awarded as follows: 

(i) VA will first offer to award the 

deobligated funds to the applicant or 

grantee with the highest grant score 

under the relevant Notice of Fund 

Availability that applied for or was 

awarded funds in the same community 

as, or proximate community to, the 

affected community. Such applicant or 

grantee must have the capacity and 

agree to provide prompt services to the 

affected community. Under this section 

the relevant Notice of Fund Availability 

is the most recently published Notice of 

Fund Availability which covers the 

geographic area that includes the 

affected community, or for multi-year 

grant awards, the most recently 

published Notice of Fund Availability 

which covers the geographic area that 

includes the affected community for 

which the grantee, who is offered the 

additional funds, received the multiyear award. 

(ii) If the first such applicant or 

grantee offered the deobligated funds 

refuses the funds, VA will offer to award 

funds to the next highest-ranked such 

applicant or grantee, per to the criteria

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; 

Redesignation of the Indiana Portion of 

the Cincinnati-Hamilton, OH-IN-KY 

Area to Attainment of the 1997 Annual 

Standard for Fine Particulate Matter 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is redesignating the 

Indiana portion of the CincinnatiHamilton, OH-IN-KY, nonattainment 

area (hereafter, ‘‘the CincinnatiHamilton area’’) to attainment for the 

1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 

annual national ambient air quality 

standard (NAAQS or standard). The 

Indiana portion of the CincinnatiHamilton area includes Lawrenceburg 

Township within Dearborn County. 

Because EPA has determined that the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area is attaining 

this annual PM2.5 standard, EPA is 

redesignating the area to attainment and 

also approving several additional 

related actions. First, EPA is approving 

an update to the Indiana State 

implementation plan (SIP) by updating 

the state’s approved plan for 

maintaining the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS through 2027. In addition, EPA 

previously approved the base year 

emissions inventory for the CincinnatiHamilton area, and is approving 

Indiana’s updated emissions inventory 

which includes emissions inventories 

for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 

and ammonia. Indiana’s approved 

maintenance plan submission also 

includes a budget for the mobile source 

contribution of PM2.5 and nitrogen 

oxides (NOX) to the CincinnatiHamilton area for transportation 

conformity purposes, which EPA is 

approving. EPA is taking these actions 

in accordance with the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) and EPA’s implementation rule 

regarding the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

September 1, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R05–OAR–2016–0513. All 

documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This supplementary information 

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Background 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On August 19, 2016, Indiana 

submitted a request to EPA to 

redesignate the Cincinnati-Hamilton 

area to attainment for the 1997 PM2.5

annual standard, and to approve 

updates to the maintenance plan for the 

area. In an action published on June 22, 

2017 (82 FR 28435), EPA proposed to 

redesignate the area and approve several 

actions related to the redesignation (82 

FR 28435). Additional background and 

details regarding this final action can be 

found in the June 22, 2017, proposed 

rule. The comment period for this 

proposed rulemaking closed on July 24, 

2017. No comments were received for 

this proposed rule. 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking several actions related 

to redesignation of the CincinnatiHamilton area to attainment for the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. 

EPA has previously approved 

Indiana’s PM2.5 maintenance plan and 

motor vehicle emissions budgets for the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton area. EPA has 

determined that this plan and budgets 

are still applicable. 

EPA has previously approved the 

2005 primary PM2.5, NOX, and sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) base year emissions 

inventory. EPA is approving Indiana’s 

updated emissions inventory which 

includes emissions inventories for VOCs 

and ammonia from 2007. EPA has 

determined that Indiana meets the 

emissions inventory requirement under 

section 107(d)(3)(E)(iii). 

In The Fine Particulate Matter 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards: State Implementation Plan 

Requirements final rule (final PM2.5 SIP 

requirements rule), EPA revoked the 

1997 primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS in 

areas that had always been attainment 

for that NAAQS, and in areas that had 

been designated as nonattainment but 

that were redesignated to attainment 

before October 24, 2016, the rule’s 

effective date. See 81 FR 58010, August 

24, 2016. EPA also finalized a provision 

that revokes the 1997 primary annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS in areas that are 

redesignated to attainment for that 

NAAQS after October 24, 2016, effective 

on the effective date of the redesignation 

of the area to attainment for that 

NAAQS. See 40 CFR 50.13(d). 

EPA is redesignating the Indiana 

portion of the Cincinnati-Hamilton area 

to attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS and approving the CAA section 

175A maintenance plan for the 1997 

primary annual PM2.5 NAAQS for the 

reasons described elsewhere in the 

January 4, 2017, proposed action.1 The
