ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the actions of the Idaho Department of PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 Environmental Quality (IDEQ) an the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) to address the provisions of Clean Air Act section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These provisions require each state to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision that prohibits emissions that adversely affect another state’s air quality through interstate transport. EPA is proposing to approve IDEQ’s and Ecology’s SIP revisions because they adequately address the four distinct elements related to the impact of interstate transport of air pollutants for their states. These include prohibiting emissions that contribute significantly to nonattainment of the NAAQS in another state, interfere with maintenance of the NAAQS by another state, interfere with plans in another state to prevent significant deterioration of air quality, or interfere with efforts of another state to protect visibility.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 2005, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) was revised to implement the Information Technology (IT) Security provisions of the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) (Title III of the E-Government Act of 2002 (EGov Act)). (See 70 FR 57447, September 30, 2005). While the FAR provided some guidance to Government contracting officials and other members of the acquisition team, it recognized that Federal agencies would need to customize IT security policies and implementations to meet mission needs. Therefore, the FAR did not provide specific contract language for inclusion in affected contracts, but required that agencies ‘‘include the appropriate information technology security policies and requirements’’ when acquiring information technology. This proposed rule will add a new solicitation provision and contract clause to the Department of State Acquisition Regulation (DOSAR) to implement the Department’s requirements regarding security issues for information technology systems. The clause and provision will apply to contracts that include information technology resources to services in which the contractor has physical or electronic access to Department information that directly supports the mission of the Department of State. This will include contracts to acquire personal services from organizations. It does not include personal services contracts that the Department executes directly with specific individuals. Such individuals are considered to be employees of the Department and as such are under its direct supervision and control for purposes of ensuring compliance with applicable information security laws and regulations. The clause requires that the contractor be responsible for IT security, based on PO 00000 Frm 00002 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 35023 agency risk assessments, for all systems connected to a Department of State (DOS) network or operated by a contractor for DOS. It requires the development of an IT security plan and IT security certification and accreditation in accordance with NIST Special Publication 800–37, Guide for the Security Certification and Accreditation of Federal Information Technology Systems, as well as all related policies and guidance promulgated by the Office of Management and Budget under FISMA and the Privacy Act. This would include related testing and continuous monitoring, incident reporting, and DOS oversight activities. The solicitation provision requires that, as part of their bid/offer, vendors address the approach for completing the security plan, testing, reporting, and certification and accreditation requirements. Regulatory Findings Administrative Procedure Act In accordance with provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act governing rules promulgated by federal agencies that affect the public (5 U.S.C. 552), the Department is publishing this proposed rule and inviting public comment. Regulatory Flexibility Act The Department of State, in accordance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), has reviewed this regulation and, by approving it, certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995 This rule will not result in the expenditure by State, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year and it will not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. Therefore, no actions were deemed necessary under the provisions of the Unfunded Mandates Act of 1995. Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 This rule is not a major rule as defined by section 804 of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Act of 1996. This rule will not result in an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more; a major increase in costs or prices; or significant adverse effects on competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or on the ability of United States-based companies to compete with foreign based companies in domestic and import markets.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the actions of the Idaho 
Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) an the Washington State 
Department of Ecology (Ecology) to address the provisions of Clean Air 
Act section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). These provisions 
require each state to submit a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 
that prohibits emissions that adversely affect another state's air 
quality through interstate transport. EPA is proposing to approve 
IDEQ's and Ecology's SIP revisions because they adequately address the 
four distinct elements related to the impact of interstate transport of 
air pollutants for their states. These include prohibiting emissions 
that contribute significantly to nonattainment of the NAAQS in another 
state, interfere with maintenance of the NAAQS by another state, 
interfere with plans in another state to prevent significant 
deterioration of air quality, or interfere with efforts of another 
state to protect visibility.

direct final action, of the same title, which is located in the Rules 
section of this Federal Register. EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA 
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 on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if we receive 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.
