Download as PDF 56920 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 188 / Thursday, September 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules property under NARA’s control. It specifically provides that all people who arrive, work at, or visit NARAcontrolled facilities are subject to the inspection of their personal property. The General Services Administration’s (GSA) regulations at 41 CFR 102–74 provide for the inspection of personal property in the possession of all people who arrive, work at, or visit NARA facilities controlled by GSA, but NARA’s regulations at 36 CFR 1280.8 specifically provide, at the current time, only for the inspection of personal property of visitors on NARA-controlled property. NARA controlled properties are those listed in 36 CFR 1280.2. We have identified in 36 CFR 1280.2 three additional NARA-controlled properties that have come into the NARA system since this part was last updated. The regulations at 41 CFR part 102– 74 will continue to provide the authority to inspect all packages, briefcases, and other containers in the possession of all persons on property under the control of GSA. This proposed rule is not a significant regulatory action for the purposes of Executive Order 12866 and has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. As required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act, I certify that this rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities because this proposed rule affects NARA contractors, employees, student interns, visitors, volunteers and other persons on NARA controlled property. This regulation does not have any federalism implications. List of Subjects in 36 CFR Part 1280 Archives and records. For the reasons set forth in the preamble, NARA proposes to amend part 1280 of title 36, Code of Federal Regulations as follows: PART 1280—USE OF NARA FACILITIES 1. The authority citation for part 1280 continues to read as follows: Authority: 44 U.S.C. 2104(a). cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS 2. Revise the heading for part 1280 to read as set forth above: 3.

The National Archives Southeast Region in Morrow, Georgia as specified in 36 CFR 1253.7 (e). VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:43 Sep 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 (e) The Federal Records Centers. The Federal Records Centers in Ellenwood, Georgia, and Riverside, California, as specified in 36 CFR 1253.6 (d) and (l), respectively. (f) Additional Facilities. As other properties come under the control of the Archivist of the United States, they will be listed in these regulations as soon as practicable. §§ 1280.4, 1280.6 and 1280.8 [Redesignated as §§ 1280.6, 1280.8 and 1280.4] 4. In Subpart A, redesignate §§ 1280.4, 1280.6 and 1280.8 as §§ 1280.6, 1280.8 and 1280.4, respectively. 5. Revise newly designated § 1280.4 to read as follows: § 1280.4 What items are subject to inspection by NARA? NARA may, at its discretion, inspect the personal property in the possession of any NARA contractor, employee, student intern, visitor, volunteer, or other person arriving on, working at, visiting, or departing from NARA property.

The revisions add additional controls on VOC emissions from industrial wastewater systems in the Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso, and Houston/Galveston areas.

ACTION: Proposed rule. cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with PROPOSALS AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA proposes to convert a conditional approval in the West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) to a full approval. The SIP revision pertains to nitrogen oxides (NOX) emission reductions required in West Virginia to meet Phase II of the NOX SIP Call (Phase II). In order to meet the Phase II submission due date, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) adopted its Phase II requirements under its emergency rule procedures. EPA granted conditional approval of the emergency rule contingent upon the WVDEP adopting a permanent rule with an effective date no later than the June 2, 2006 sunset date of its emergency rule and submitting the permanent rule as a formal SIP revision to EPA by July 1, 2006. West Virginia has met all the terms of the conditional approval by adopting its permanent rule with an effective date of May 1, 2006, and submitting the permanent rule to EPA before July 1, 2006. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is converting the conditional approval of the State’s SIP revision to a full approval 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, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:43 Sep 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 receives 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.

Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort Worth, and Houston/Galveston

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Texas State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions. The revisions pertain to regulations to control 
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from facilities in El Paso, 
Gregg, Nueces, and Victoria Counties; the 8-hour ozone standard 
nonattainment areas of Beaumont/Port Arthur and Houston/Galveston; and 
portions of the Dallas/Fort Worth 8-hour ozone standard nonattainment 
area. The revisions add additional controls on VOC emissions from 
industrial wastewater systems in the Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort 
Worth, El Paso, and Houston/Galveston areas. The revisions also amend 
requirements to identify and correct emissions from VOC leaks from 
facilities that refine petroleum or process natural gas, gasoline or 
petrochemicals in the Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort Worth, El Paso, 
and Houston/Galveston areas, and from petroleum refineries in Gregg, 
Nueces, and Victoria Counties. We are proposing to approve the 
revisions pursuant to section 110 and part D of the Federal Clean Air 
Act. The control of VOC emissions will help to attain and maintain the 
8-hour national ambient air quality standard for ozone in Texas. 
Approval will make the revised regulations Federally enforceable.

direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in 
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA
