Download as PDF 16670 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 63 / Friday, April 2, 2010 / Rules and Regulations wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with RULES_PART 1 on the economy of $100 million or more, or adversely affect a sector of the economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public health or safety, or State, local or Tribal governments or communities in a material way (also referred to as an ‘‘economically significant’’ rule); (2) create serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an action taken or planned by another agency; (3) materially alter the budgetary impacts of entitlement grants, user fees, or local programs or the rights and obligations of recipients thereof; or (4) raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal mandates, the President’s priorities, or the principles set forth in the Executive order. The Secretary has determined that this regulatory action is significant under section 3(f) of the Executive order. Potential Costs and Benefits Under Executive Order 12866, we have assessed the potential costs and benefits of this regulatory action and have determined that this rule will not impose additional costs to State applicants, grantees, or the Federal government. The Department is regulating only to incorporate mandatory budget ranges into the final Race to the Top requirements. It may take a State applicant time to create or revise its Race to the Top budget so that it conforms to the required budget range contained in this regulatory action if the State had intended to request more than the maximum in the range. We believe, however, that the benefits of this action outweigh any potential burden that it may cause. Additionally, the Department has determined that this regulatory action does not unduly interfere with State, local, and Tribal governments in the exercise of their governmental functions. Regulatory Flexibility Act Certification: The Secretary certifies that these interim final requirements will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The Secretary makes this certification because the only entities eligible to apply for grants are States, and States are not small entities. Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995: The interim final requirements contain information collection requirements that are subject to review by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). The Department had received previously emergency approval for the information collections in the final Race to the Top Fund requirements published on November 18, 2009, under OMB Control Number 1810–0697. The Department will submit to OMB a VerDate Nov<24>2008 12:54 Apr 01, 2010 Jkt 220001 Paperwork Reduction Act Change Worksheet for this collection that will include the changes described in this notice. Intergovernmental Review: This program is subject to Executive Order 12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR 79. One of the objectives of the Executive Order is to foster an intergovernmental partnership and a strengthened federalism. The Executive Order relies on processes developed by State and local governments for coordination and review of proposed Federal financial assistance. This document provides notification of our specific plans regarding budget requirements for this program.

ACTION: Direct final rule. SUMMARY: EPA is taking a direct final action to approve severable portions of a submittal from the State of Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), on September 25, 2003, to revise the Texas Major and Minor New Source Review (NSR) State Implementation Plan (SIP). EPA is approving the State’s repeal of a paragraph of the SIP rule pertaining to Texas Major and Minor NSR SIP and to approve the consequent renumbering of PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 16671 the SIP rule’s paragraphs. We also are approving the new replacement rule as meeting the Minor and Major NSR SIP requirements for voiding of permits. We are approving the portion of the revision that addresses the recodification of the provision relating to the granting of one 18-month extension of a permit as meeting the Minor and Major NSR SIP requirement for extensions of permits. The revision imposes requirements on permitees, requiring a review of the permit’s underlying permit determinations before this SIP-approved extension can be granted. Finally, the revision provides for a second permit extension if certain conditions are met, including a health effects review. EPA is approving the new replacement rule for this second permit extension as meeting the Major and Minor NSR and NNSR SIP requirements. EPA finds that these changes to the Texas SIP comply with the Federal Clean Air Act (the Act or CAA) and EPA regulations, are consistent with EPA policies, and will improve air quality. This action is being proposed under section 110 and parts C and D of the Act. DATES: This direct final rule is effective on June 1, 2010 without further notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comment by May 3, 2010. If EPA receives such comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

SUMMARY: EPA is withdrawing a significant new use rule (SNUR) 
promulgated under section 5(a)(2) of the Toxic Substances Control Act

tetrafluoro- (CAS No. 754-12-1), which was the subject of 
premanufacture notice (PMN) P-07-601. EPA published the SNUR using 
direct final rulemaking procedures. EPA received a notice of intent to 
submit adverse comments on the rule. Therefore, the Agency is 
withdrawing the SNUR, as required under the expedited SNUR rulemaking 
process. Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, EPA is publishing 
(under separate notice and comment rulemaking procedures) a proposed 
SNUR for this substance.

DATES: This final rule is effective April 2, 2010.

II. What Rule is Being Withdrawn?

    In the Federal Register of February 1, 2010 (75 FR 4983), EPA 
issued several direct final SNURs, including a SNUR for the chemical 
substance that is the subject of this withdrawal. These direct final 
rules were issued pursuant to the procedures in 40 CFR part 721, 
subpart D. In accordance with 40 CFR 721.170(d)(4)(i), EPA is 
withdrawing the rule issued for 1-Propene, 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoro- (PMN P-
07-601; CAS No. 754-12-1) at 40 CFR 721.10182 because the Agency 
received a notice of intent to submit adverse comments. Elsewhere in 
today's Federal Register, EPA is proposing a SNUR for this chemical 
substance via notice and comment rulemaking.
    For further information regarding EPA's expedited process for 
issuing SNURs, interested parties are directed to 40 CFR part 721, 
subpart D, and the Federal Register of July 27, 1989 (54 FR 31314). The

order review requirements applicable to the direct final rule were

is a withdrawal and does not contain any new or amended requirements.

containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, 
the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the
