ACTION: Final rule AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve in part, and disapprove in part, portions of the April 23, 2013, and December 9, 2015, of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions, submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), to demonstrate that the State meets certain infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 2010 1hour nitrogen dioxide (NO2) national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an ‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. ADEM certified that the Alabama SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Alabama. With the exception of the provisions pertaining to prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting, and visibility in other states, for which EPA is proposing no action through this notice, and the provisions respecting state boards, for which EPA is finalizing disapproval, EPA has determined portions of Alabama’s infrastructure SIP submissions, provided to EPA on April 23, 2013, and updated on December 9, 2015, satisfy certain required infrastructure elements for the 2010 1hour NO2 NAAQS.

Background and Overview On January 22, 2010 (75 FR 6474, February 9, 2010), EPA promulgated a new 1-hour primary NAAQS for NO2 at a level of 100 parts per billion (ppb), based on a 3-year average of the 98th percentile of the yearly distribution of 1hour daily maximum concentrations. Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are required to submit SIPs meeting the requirements of section 110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP elements such as requirements for monitoring, basic program requirements and legal authority that are designed to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. States were required to submit such SIPs for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS to EPA no later than January 22, 2013. In a proposed rulemaking published on July 20, 2016 (81 FR 47124), EPA proposed to approve Alabama’s 2010 1hour NO2 NAAQS infrastructure SIP submissions submitted on April 23, 2013, and December 9, 2015, with the exception of the PSD permitting requirements for major sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i), and (J) and the interstate transport requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 1, 2, and 4), and the state board requirements of section E:\FR\FM\21NOR1.SGM 21NOR1

37 CFR Part 388

[Docket No. 16-CRB-0019-RM]


Procedural Regulations for the Copyright Royalty Board: Rates and 
Terms for Statutory Licenses; Technical Amendment

AGENCY: Copyright Royalty Board, Library of Congress.

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Copyright Royalty Judges are amending their regulations to 
relocate the provisions regarding coin-operated phonorecord players 
from the section of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) that contains 
Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panel (CARP) regulations to the section 
of the CFR that contains Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) regulations so 
that the Copyright Office may remove the outdated CARP regulation.

DATES: Effective on November 21, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kimberly Whittle, Attorney Advisor, by 
telephone at (202) 707-7658 or by email at crb@loc.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 3, 2016, the Copyright Office 
published a proposed rulemaking that, in part, proposes to eliminate 
obsolete CARP regulations from the CFR. 81 FR 67940, 67942. One of the 
CARP provisions, the regulation regarding rates for the statutory 
license for jukeboxes, is not obsolete and is therefore the only 
provision that would remain.\1\ See 37 CFR 254. That provision could 
have been moved to the CRB section of the CFR earlier, but because the 
rates have remained unchanged for many years, neither the Copyright 
Office nor the CRB has moved the regulation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Copyright Office proposed rulemaking indicated that part 
256 will also remain, but the CRB recently gave notice of relocation 
of that part to part 387 and has notified the Copyright Office of 
that fact so it may now eliminate part 256 from Chapter II. Id.; 81 
FR 62812 (Sept. 13, 2016).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Copyright Royalty Judges hereby relocate that provision by 
adding it to Chapter III of title 37 of the CFR, the chapter governing 
CRB activities.
