Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 97 / Friday, May 20, 2005 / Proposed Rules
172(c)(9) and 189(a) and 57 FR 13543–
13544.
Idaho has presented an adequate
demonstration that it has met the
requirements applicable to the area
under section 110 and Part D. The Part
D NSR rules for PM–10 nonattainment
areas in Idaho were approved by EPA on
July 23, 1993 (58 FR 39445) and
amended provisions were approved by
EPA on January 16, 2003 (68 FR 2217).
The Clean Air Act requires that
contingency measures take effect if the
area fails to meet reasonable further
progress requirements or fails to attain
the NAAQS by the applicable
attainment date. The Portneuf Valley
PM–10 nonattainment area attained the
NAAQS for PM–10 by the applicable
attainment date of December 31, 1996.
Therefore, contingency measures no
longer are required under section
172(c)(9) of the Act. Contingency
measures are also required for
maintenance plans under section
175A(d). Idaho has provided
contingency measures in the
maintenance plan for the Portneuf
Valley PM–10 nonattainment area. The
contingency measures in the
maintenance plan are discussed in
section III above.
B. What Do We Conclude About the
Request for Redesignation?
Based on our review of the
nonattainment area plan, the
maintenance plan, and the request for
redesignation request submitted for the
Portneuf Valley PM–10 nonattainment
area on June 30, 2004, we conclude that
all the requirements for redesignation in
section 107(d)(3)(E) have been met.
Therefore, we are proposing to
redesignate the Portneuf Valley PM–10
nonattainment area to attainment.
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this proposed
action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ and therefore is not subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget. For this reason, this action is
also not subject to Executive Order
13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This proposed action merely
proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies
that this proposed rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
VerDate jul<14>2003
15:24 May 19, 2005
Jkt 205001
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule
proposes to approve pre-existing
requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable
duty beyond that required by state law,
it does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Public Law 104–4).
This proposed rule also does not have
tribal implications because it will 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,
as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This
action also does not have federalism
implications because it does not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely
proposes to approve a state rule
implementing a Federal standard, and
does not alter the relationship or the
distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This proposed rule also is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the
absence of a prior existing requirement
for the State to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission,
to use VCS in place of a SIP submission
that otherwise satisfies the provisions of
the Clean Air Act. Thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply. This proposed
rule does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Petition To List the Pygmy Rabbit as
Threatened or Endangered
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of 90-day petition
finding.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce a
90-day finding on a petition to list the
pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus idahoensis)
as threatened or endangered under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended. We find the petition does not
provide substantial information
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
indicating that listing the pygmy rabbit
may be warranted. Therefore, we will
not be initiating a further status review
in response to this petition. We ask the
public to submit to us any new
information that becomes available
concerning the status of the species or
threats to it.
DATES: The finding announced in this
document was made May 20, 2005. You
may submit new information
concerning this species for our
consideration at any time.
ADDRESSES: The complete file for this
finding is available for public
inspection, by appointment, during
normal business hours at the Nevada
Fish and Wildlife Office, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 1340 Financial
Boulevard, Suite 234, Reno, NV 89502.
Submit new information, materials,
comments, or questions concerning this
species to us at the above address.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Robert D. Williams, Field Supervisor,
Nevada Fish and Wildlife Office (see
ADDRESSES) (telephone 775/861–6300;
facsimile 775/861–6301).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
Section 4(b)(3)(A) of the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (16
U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), requires that we
make a finding on whether a petition to
list, delist, or reclassify a species
presents substantial scientific or
commercial information to indicate that
the petitioned action may be warranted.
We are to base this finding on
information provided in the petition. To
the maximum extent practicable, we are
to make this finding within 90 days of
our receipt of the petition, and publish
our notice of this finding promptly in
the Federal Register.
Our standard for substantial
information within the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) with regard to a 90day petition finding is ‘‘that amount of
information that would lead a
reasonable person to believe that the
measure proposed in the petition may
be warranted’’ (50 CFR 424.14(b)). If we
find that substantial information was
presented, we are required to promptly
commence a review of the status of the
species, if one has not already been
initiated under our internal candidate
assessment process.
In making this finding, we relied on
information provided by the petitioners
and evaluated that information in
accordance with 50 CFR 424.14(b). Our
process of coming to a 90-day finding
under section 4(b)(3)(A) of the Act and
section 424.14(b) of our regulations is
limited to a determination of whether
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
29253
the information in the petition meets the
‘‘substantial information’’ threshold.
On April 21, 2003, we received a
formal petition, dated April 1, 2003,
from the Committee for the High Desert,
Western Watersheds Project, American
Lands Alliance, Oregon Natural Desert
Association, Biodiversity Conservation
Alliance, Center for Native Ecosystems,
and Mr. Craig Criddle, requesting that
the pygmy rabbit (Brachylagus
idahoensis) found in California, Idaho,
Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and
Wyoming be listed as threatened or
endangered in accordance with section
4 of the Act.
Action on this petition was precluded
by court orders and settlement
agreements for other listing actions that
required nearly all of our listing funds
for fiscal year 2003. On May 3, 2004, we
received a 60-day notice of intent to sue,
and on September 1, 2004, we received
a complaint regarding our failure to
carry out the 90-day and 12-month
findings on the status of the pygmy
rabbit. On March 2, 2005, we reached an
agreement with the plaintiffs to submit
to the Federal Register a completed 90day finding by May 16, 2005, and to
complete, if applicable, a 12-month
finding by February 15, 2006 (Western
Watersheds Project et al. v. U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (CV–04–0440–N–
BLW)).
This finding does not address our
prior listing of the Columbia Basin
distinct population segment (DPS) of the
pygmy rabbit. On November 30, 2001,
we published an emergency listing and
concurrent proposed rule to list this
DPS of the pygmy rabbit as endangered
(66 FR 59734 and 66 FR 59769,
respectively). We listed the Columbia
Basin DPS of the pygmy rabbit as
endangered in our final rule dated
March 5, 2003 (68 FR 10388).
Species Information
The pygmy rabbit is a member of the
family Leporidae, which includes
rabbits and hares. This species has been
placed in various genera since its type
specimen was described in 1891 by
Merriam (1891), who classified the
‘‘Idaho pygmy rabbit’’ as Lepus
idahoensis. Currently, the pygmy rabbit
is generally placed within the
monotypic genus Brachylagus and
classified as B. idahoensis (Green and
Flinders 1980a; WDFW 1995); this is the
taxonomy accepted by the Service. The
analysis of blood proteins (Johnson
1968, cited in Washington Department
of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) 1995)
suggests that the pygmy rabbit differs
greatly from species within both the
Lepus or Sylvilagus genera. Halanych
and Robinson (1997) supported the
