Notice of meeting.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The United States Coast
Guard will meet to discuss the
comments received relating to the
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
for Kenner Bend Anchorage as
published in the Federal Register on
Wednesday April 27, 2005.
DATES: The meeting will be held on
Tuesday, September 13, 2005, from 9
a.m. to 12 p.m. This meeting may
adjourn early if all business is finished.
ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held in
the Basement Conference Room at the
Hale Boggs Federal Building, 500
Poydras Street, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Background
Runway 1–19 at the Louis Armstrong
New Orleans International Airport is
positioned in a north-south line running
parallel to the Airport Access Road.
Aircraft approaching the runway from
the south or departing the runway from
the north pass over the Lower Kenner
Bend Anchorage. Due to the close
proximity of Runway 1–19 to Kenner
Bend, aircraft occasionally descend and
ascend directly over vessels anchored in
the Lower Kenner Bend Anchorage,
creating a potentially dangerous
situation that is of particular concern
during periods of reduced visibility.
Aircraft approaching the runway from
the south follow a descending glide
slope path with a minimum height of
311 feet above mean sea level over the
Kenner Bend Anchorage. Certain vessels
with cargo handling equipment such as
cranes and boom are capable of
extending equipment to a height
upwards of 300 feet above the waterline.

Jkt 205001
This amendment to the anchorage
regulations for the Mississippi River
below Baton Rouge, LA, including
South and Southwest Passes is proposed
to prohibit vessels that are anchored in
the Lower Kenner Bend Anchorage from
engaging in cargo transfer operations or
exercising any shipboard equipment
such as cranes and booms while at
anchor. This proposed revision is
needed to increase safety at Kenner
Bend by reducing the potential for
collision between aircraft and vessels
anchored in the Lower Kenner Bend
Anchorage.
Discussion of Issues
The Coast Guard received three
negative comments to the NPRM for
Kenner Bend Anchorage from the
Maritime Navigation Safety Association
(MNSA), the Steamship Association of
Louisiana (SALA), and the New Orleans
and Baton Rouge Port (NOBRA) Pilots.
All three organizations contend that the
complete prohibition against using
cargo-handling equipment is excessive,
and argue that some operations should
be allowed while at anchor. To better
express their concerns, all parties
requested a public meeting be held. This
meeting is open to the public. Please
note that the meeting may close early if
all business is finished.

Clean Air Act Approval and

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to take
direct final action approving certain
revisions to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) as submitted by the Governor
of North Dakota with a letter dated April
11, 2003. The revisions affect certain
portions of air pollution control rules
regarding permitting and prevention of
significant deterioration. 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
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
SIP revision and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the preamble to
the direct final rule. If EPA receives no
adverse comments, EPA will not take
further action on this proposed rule. If
EPA receives adverse comments, EPA
will withdraw the direct final rule and
it will not take effect. EPA will address
all public comments in a subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule.
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
EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
EPA 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 September 7,
2005.

Performance Specification 16 for
Predictive Emission Monitoring
Systems and Amendments to Testing
and Monitoring Provisions
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency is proposing performance
specifications (PS) that evaluate the
acceptability of predictive emission
monitoring systems (PEMS) when used
on stationary sources. This PS is needed
to provide sources and regulatory
agencies with performance criteria for
evaluating this new technology. The
intended effect of this action is to
establish standardized performance
requirements that will be used to
evaluate candidate PEMS uniformly.
The affected industries and their
Standard Industrial Classification codes
are listed under SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION. In addition, we are
proposing to make minor amendments
to various testing provisions in the New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories (MACT) to correct
inadvertent errors, make needed
updates, and add flexibility.
DATES: Comments: Submit comments on
or before October 7, 2005.
Public Hearing: If anyone contacts us
requesting to speak at a public hearing
by August 23, 2005, we will hold a
public hearing on September 7, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments. Comments may
be submitted electronically, by mail, by
facsimile, or through hand delivery/
courier. Follow the detailed instructions
as provided in Unit IB of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section.
Public Hearing. If a public hearing is
held, it will be held at 10 a.m. in the
EPA Auditorium, Research Triangle
Park, North Carolina, or at an alternate
site nearby.
Docket. Docket No. OAR–2003–0074,
contains information relevant to this
rule. You can read and copy it between
8:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., Monday

holidays), at the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, EPA Docket Center,
EPA West, Room 108, 1301 Constitution

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General Information
A. Affected Entities
Predictive emission monitoring
systems are not currently required in
any Federal rule. However, they may be
used under the NSPS to predict nitrogen
oxides emissions from small industrial,
commercial, and institutional steam
generating units. In some cases, PEMS
have been approved as alternatives to
CEMS for the initial 30-day compliance
test at these facilities. Various State and
Local regulations are incorporating
PEMS as an emission monitoring tool.
The major entities that are potentially
affected by Proposed Performance
Specification 16 and amendments to the
subparts are included in the following
