44754 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 26, 2017 / Proposed Rules 

submitted for parallel processing to 

address regional haze requirements for 

Entergy Nelson (82 FR 32294). In the 

July 13, 2017 action, we proposed to 

approve an SO2 emissions limit of 0.6 

pounds per million British Thermal 

Units (lbs/MMBtu) at Entergy Nelson 

Unit 6. The compliance date we 

proposed to approve was no later than 

the effective date of our approval of a 

final SIP. On August 24, 2017, Louisiana 

submitted a letter explaining its intent 

to revise the compliance date in its SIP 

for Entergy Nelson Unit 6 based on a 

public comment received during the 

State’s comment period. On June 21, 

2017, Entergy, the owner and operator 

of Nelson, submitted a comment to 

LDEQ on the proposed SIP. The 

comment letter requests a three-year 

period for the transition to the proposed 

SO2 limit for Nelson Unit 6. Entergy’s 

letter explains that coal contracts are in 

place for the next three years. Entergy 

requests this longer compliance time to 

allow the company’s fuel procurement 

to transition to new mines with lower 

sulfur coal. As a result, Louisiana’s 

revised compliance date for Entergy 

Nelson Unit 6 to meet the SO2 emissions 

limit is three years from the effective 

date of our approval of the SIP revision. 

II. The EPA’s Evaluation 

We sent clarifying questions via email 

to Entergy regarding their need for three 

years to comply with the emission limit 

of 0.6 lbs/MMBtu. The questions and 

Entergy’s response are included in the 

docket. A compliance date of three years 

from the effective date of our approval 

of the SIP revision allows time for 

Entergy Nelson to ensure that Unit 6 is 

able to continuously meet a SO2

emissions limit of 0.6 lbs/MMBtu once 

the emission limit becomes enforceable. 

We believe this is a reasonable basis to 

allow three years for Nelson Unit 6 to 

comply with this limit, and this change 

meets the requirement that BART be 

installed and operational ‘‘as 

expeditiously as practicable, but in no 

event later than five years after approval 

of the [SIP].’’ 40 CFR 51.308(e)(1)(v). As 

a result, we propose to approve this SIP 

revision when it is submitted to EPA. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA amends our proposal to approve 

a Louisiana regional haze SIP revision 

submitted on August 24, 2017 to allow 

a compliance date three years from the 

effective date of the final EPA approval 

of the SIP revision for Unit 6 of the 

Entergy Nelson EGU to meet a SO2

emissions limit of 0.6 lbs/MMBtu. 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this action, we are proposing to 

include in a final rule regulatory text 

that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with the 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

revisions to the Louisiana regulations as 

described in the Proposed Action 

section above. We have made, and will 

continue to make, these documents 

generally available electronically 

through www.regulations.gov and/or in 

hard copy at the EPA Region 6 office. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993), 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011) and 13771 (82 FR 

9339, February 2, 2017); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

this action does not involve technical 

standards; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved to 

apply on any Indian reservation land or 

in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the proposed rule does 

not have tribal implications and will not 

impose substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

[EB Docket No. 17–245; FCC 17–115] 

Procedural Rules Governing Formal 

Complaint Proceedings NPRM 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: In this document, a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) proposes 

a uniform set of procedural rules for 

formal complaint proceedings delegated 

to the Enforcement Bureau and 

currently handled by its Market 

Disputes Resolution Division and 

Telecommunications Consumers 

Division. Specifically, the NPRM 

proposes to streamline and consolidate 

the procedural rules governing formal 

complaints filed under Section 208 of 

the Communications Act of 1934, as 

amended (Act); pole attachment 

complaints filed under Section 224 of 

the Act; and formal advanced 

communications services and 

equipment complaints filed under 

Sections 255, 716, and 718 of the Act. 

These separate sets of procedural rules 

are not congruent, and the 

inconsistencies have led to needless 

confusion. 

DATES: Interested persons are invited to 

submit comments on or before October 

26, 2017. Reply comments are due on or 

before November 13, 2017.
