or restrict the requirements for take for
nonsubsistence uses, if necessary to
ensure the continued viability of a fish
or wildlife population, to continue
subsistence uses of fish or wildlife, or
for public safety reasons. The Board
may also reopen public lands to
nonsubsistence uses if new information
or changed conditions indicate that the
closure is no longer warranted.
(1) If the timing of a regularly
scheduled meeting of the affected
Regional Council so permits without
incurring undue delay, the Board may
seek Council recommendations on the
proposed emergency special action.
Such a Council recommendation, if any,
will be subject to the requirements of §
___.18.
(2) The emergency action will be
effective when directed by the Board,
may not exceed 60 days, and may not
be extended unless the procedures for
adoption of a temporary special action,
as set forth in paragraph (b) of this
section, have been followed.
(b) Temporary special actions. After
adequate notice and public hearing, the
Board may temporarily close or open
public lands for the taking of fish and
wildlife for subsistence uses or modify
the requirements for subsistence take, or
temporarily close public lands for the
taking of fish and wildlife for
nonsubsistence uses or restrict take for
nonsubsistence uses. The Board may
make such temporary changes only after
it determines that the proposed
temporary change will not interfere with
the conservation of healthy fish and
wildlife populations, will not be
detrimental to the long-term subsistence
use of fish or wildlife resources, and is
not an unnecessary restriction on
nonsubsistence users.
(1) Prior to implementing a temporary
special action, the Board will consult
with the State of Alaska and the Chairs
of the Regional Councils of the affected
regions.
(2) If the timing of a regularly
scheduled meeting of the affected
Regional Council so permits without
incurring undue delay, the Board will
seek Council recommendations on the
proposed temporary special action.
Such Council recommendations, if any,
will be subject to the requirements of §
___.18.
(3) The length of any temporary action
will be confined to the minimum time
period or harvest limit determined by
the Board to be necessary under the
circumstances. In any event, a
temporary opening or closure will not
extend longer than the end of the
current regulatory cycle.
(c) The Board may reject a request for
either an emergency or a temporary

special action if the Board concludes
that there are no time-sensitive
circumstances necessitating a regulatory
change before the next regular proposal
cycle. However, a special action request
that has been rejected for this reason
may be deferred, if appropriate and after
consultation with the proponent, for
consideration during the next regular
proposal cycle. The Board will consider
changes to customary and traditional
use determinations in subpart C of this
part only during the regular proposal
cycle.
(d) The Board will provide notice of
all regulatory changes adopted via
special action by posting the change on
the Office of Subsistence Management
website (https://alaska.fws.gov/asm/
osm.cfml). When appropriate, notice
may also include distribution of press
releases to newspapers, local radio
stations, and local contacts, as well as
direct notification to the proponent and
interested parties. The Board will
publish notice and reasons justifying the
special action in the Federal Register as
soon as practicable.
(e) The decision of the Board on any
proposed special action will constitute
its final administrative action.
(f) Regulations authorizing any
individual agency to implement
closures or restrictions on public lands
managed by the agency remain
unaffected by the regulations in this
part.
(g) You may not take fish and wildlife
in violation of any restriction, closure,
or change authorized by the Board.

turbines, process heaters and internal
combustion engines. We are proposing
to approve local rules to regulate these
emission sources under the Clean Air
Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the
Act).
DATES: Any comments on this proposal
must arrive by November 13, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
proposal addresses the following local

Fuel Burning Equipment from
Industrial/Commercial/Institutional

Internal Combustion (IC) Engines. In the
Rules and Regulations section of this

these local rules in a direct final action
without prior proposal because we
believe these SIP revisions are not
controversial. If we receive adverse
comments, however, we will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final
rule and address the comments in
subsequent action based on this
proposed rule. 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,
we may adopt as final those provisions

Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans;
Tennessee; Clean Air Interstate Rule
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to the Tennessee State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of Tennessee through the
Tennessee Department of Environment
and Conservation on July 13, 2009. This
revision incorporates provisions related
to the implementation of EPA’s Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated
on May 12, 2005, subsequently revised
on April 28, 2006, and December 13,
2006, and the CAIR Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP) concerning
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), Nitrogen Oxides
(NOX) annual, and NOX ozone season
emissions for the State of Tennessee,
promulgated on April 28, 2006, and
subsequently revised December 13,
2006. Although the District of Columbia
Circuit Court found CAIR to be flawed,
the rule was remanded without vacatur
and thus remains in place. EPA is
continuing to approve CAIR provisions
into SIPs as appropriate. EPA previously
approved an ‘‘abbreviated SIP’’ for
Tennessee, primarily consisting of rules
governing allocation of allowances to
electric generating units (EGUs) for use
in the trading programs established
pursuant to CAIR and providing for
voluntary opt-in to these programs on
August 20, 2007 (72 FR 46388), effective
on October 19, 2007. Tennessee has now
requested, in a revised submittal dated
September 21, 2009, and a clarification
letter dated September 24, 2009, that
EPA act on a portion of the July 13,
2009, submittal as an abbreviated SIP.
