Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Proposed Rules
not exceed 720 hours in any 12-month
period. Kentucky’s October 2007 sourcespecific SIP revision therefore proposes
SO2 limits for the Paradise facility that
are more stringent than the SIPapproved KAR. Kentucky’s SIP
submittal includes technical support
information comparing the limits
required by KAR with the current
proposed source-specific revision. This
information is available in the Docket
for this proposed action. The new limits
will be included in a CAA title V
operating permit.
Consistent with Section 110 of the
CAA, EPA is proposing to approve this
revision to the Kentucky SIP. The
revision would supersede the 1989
source-specific SIP revision for the TVA
Paradise facility and subject the facility
to the specific SO2 emission limits
discussed above.

III. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing to approve a sourcespecific SIP revision submitted by
KDAQ in October 2007 regarding the
SO2 emission limits for the three units
at the TVA Paradise Facility. This
proposal would supersede the 1989
source-specific SIP revision and subject
TVA Paradise to emission limits of 1.2
lbs/mmBTU at Units 1, 2, and 3, except
that Unit 3 may meet the limit of 3.1
lbs/mmBTU that is established in 401
KAR 61:015 during the limited times
when the Unit 3 scrubber is bypassed
for maintenance. Now that TVA has
installed the control technology
necessary to achieve the KAR limit of
3.1 lbs/mmBTU at all three units of the
Paradise facility, the previous
redistribution is no longer necessary.
This proposed revision is consistent
with Section 110 of the CAA because it
will continue to provide for attainment
and maintenance of the SO2 NAAQS.
IV. 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 proposed
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 approves Kentucky law as
meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies
that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:29 Feb 04, 2008
Jkt 214001
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.). Because this rule proposes to
approve pre-existing requirements
under Kentucky law and does not
impose any additional enforceable duty
beyond that required by Kentucky 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 (Pub. L. 104–4).
This 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
proposed 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 Kentucky rule
implementing a Federal standard, and
does not alter the relationship or the
distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the CAA.
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 CAA. In this context, in the absence
of a prior existing requirement for the
Commonwealth 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 CAA.
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.).

ACTION: Notice of intent to delete the

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing a
notice of intent to delete the Industrial
Waste Control Superfund Site located in
Fort Smith, Arkansas from the National
Priorities List (NPL) and requests public
comments on this notice of intent. The
NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section
105 of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act
(CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is found
at Appendix B of 40 CFR part 300,
which is the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and
the State of Arkansas, through the
Arkansas Department of Environmental
Quality (ADEQ), have determined that
all appropriate response actions under
CERCLA, other than operation and
maintenance and five-year reviews,
have been completed. However, this
deletion does not preclude future
actions under Superfund.
In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’
Section of this Federal Register, we are
publishing a direct final notice of
deletion of the Industrial Waste Control
Superfund Site without prior notice of
intent to delete because we view this as
a noncontroversial revision and
anticipate no adverse comment. We
have explained our reasons for this
deletion in the direct final deletion. If
we receive no adverse comment(s) on
the direct final notice of deletion, we
will not take further action on this
notice of intent to delete. If we receive
adverse comment(s), we will withdraw

Endangered and Threatened Wildlife

Petition To List the Gunnison’s Prairie
Dog as Threatened or Endangered
Fish and Wildlife Service,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of a 12-month petition
finding.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: We, the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service (Service), announce our
12-month finding on a petition to list
the Gunnison’s prairie dog (Cynomys
gunnisoni) as an endangered or
threatened species under the
Endangered Species Act of 1973, as
amended (Act). After a thorough review
of all available scientific and
commercial information, we find that
the species is not threatened or
endangered throughout all of its range,
but that the portion of the current range
of the species located in central and
south-central Colorado and northcentral New Mexico (the northeastern
portion of the range) represents a
significant portion of the range where
the Gunnison’s prairie dog is warranted
for listing under the Act. Currently,
listing is precluded by higher priority
actions to amend the Lists of
Endangered and Threatened Wildlife
and Plants. We have assigned a listing
priority number (LPN) of 2 to this
species, because threats have a high
magnitude, and are imminent. We will
develop a proposed rule to list the
Gunnison’s prairie dog in the
northeastern (montane) portion of its
range as our priorities allow.
DATES: This finding was made on
February 5, 2008.
ADDRESSES: This finding is available on
the Internet at https://
www.regulations.gov and https://
www.fws.gov/mountain-prairie/species/

prepare this finding is available for
