19030
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 12, 2005 / Proposed Rules
have determined that it does not have
implications for federalism.
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 or more in any one year.
Though this proposed rule will not
result in such an expenditure, we do
discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere
in this preamble.
Taking of Private Property
This proposed rule will not affect a
taking of private property or otherwise
have taking implications under
Executive Order 12630, Government
Actions and Interference with
Constitutionally Protected Property
Rights.
Civil Justice Reform
This proposed rule meets applicable
standards in section 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform, to minimize litigation,
eliminate ambiguity, and reduce
burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13045,
Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks. This rule is not an economically
significant rule and would not create an
environmental risk to health or risk to
safety that might disproportionately
affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This proposed rule does not have
tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have
a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this proposed rule
under Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not

likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.
Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.
This proposed rule does not use
technical standards. Therefore, we did
not consider the use of voluntary
consensus standards.

BILLING CODE 4910–15–P
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Commandant Instruction M16475.1D,
which guides the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded that there are no factors
in this case that would limit the use of
a categorical exclusion under section
2.B.2 of the Instruction. Therefore, this
rule is categorically excluded, under
figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e) of the
Instruction, from further environmental
documentation. Paragraph 32(e)
excludes the promulgation of operating
regulations or procedures for
drawbridges from the environmental
documentation requirements of the
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA). Since this proposed regulation
would alter the normal operating
conditions of the drawbridges, it falls
within this exclusion. A ‘‘Categorical
Exclusion Determination’’ is available in
the docket for inspection or copying
where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Approval and Promulgation of

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to take
direct final action on revisions to the
Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP).
This rulemaking covers eight Agreed
Orders with six companies in the
Beaumont/Port Arthur (B/PA) ozone
nonattainment area. We are approving
the eight Agreed Orders between the
State of Texas and the six companies in
Southeast Texas as a strengthening of
the Texas SIP. These Agreed Orders will
contribute to the improvement in air
quality in the B/PA nonattainment area
and will continue to contribute to the
maintenance of the ozone standard in
the southeastern portion of the State of
Texas. The EPA is proposing to approve
this SIP in accordance with the
requirements of the Federal Clean Air
Act (the Act), sections 110 and 116.
In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’
section of this Federal Register, EPA is
approving the State’s SIP Revision as a
direct final rule without prior proposal
because the EPA views this as a
noncontroversial revision and
anticipates no adverse comment. The
EPA has explained its reasons for this
approval in the preamble to the direct
final rule. If EPA receives no relevant
adverse comments, the EPA will not
take further action on this proposed
rule. If the EPA receives relevant
adverse comment, EPA will withdraw
the direct final rule and it will not take
effect. The EPA will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based upon this proposed rule. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if we receive
significant adverse comments on an
amendment, paragraph or section of this
rule and if that provision is independent
of the remainder of the rule, we may
adopt as final those provisions of the
rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before May 12, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to
Mr. Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air Planning
Section (6PD–L), Environmental
Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue,

Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/
courier by following the detailed
instructions in the Addresses section of
the direct final rule located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

In the
final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
SIP submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal 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 action rule,
no further activity is contemplated. If
EPA receives significant 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. EPA will not institute a
second comment period. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. Please note
that if EPA receives significant adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision is independent of the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment.
