Add § 39.22 to read as follows: Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; The Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan Areas; Determination of Attainment of the 1997 8-hour Ozone Standard Information sharing. Each derivatives clearing organization shall enter into, and abide by the terms of, each appropriate and applicable domestic and international informationsharing agreement, and shall use relevant information obtained from each such agreement in carrying out the risk management program of the derivatives clearing organization. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:20 Dec 14, 2010 Jkt 223001 Appendices to Information Management Requirements for Derivatives Clearing Organizations— Commission Voting Summary and Statements of Commissioners Note: The following appendices will not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations Appendix 1—Commission Voting Summary On this matter, Chairman Gensler and Commissioners Dunn, Sommers, Chilton and O’Malia voted in the affirmative. No Commissioner voted in the negative. Appendix 2—Statement of Chairman Gary Gensler I support the proposed rulemaking concerning information management, recordkeeping and reporting requirements for derivatives clearing organizations. The requirements would enable the Commission to conduct financial risk surveillance more efficiently and effectively. Further, they would promote transparency to the regulators, enhancing the Commission’s ability to detect and resolve potential concerns before they escalate into major problems. The rule also fulfills Congress’s direction that clearinghouses be required to make settlement prices and open interest public in all their contracts on a daily basis. The proposed reporting rules apply uniform standards to all DCOs, thereby helping to avoid inconsistency in DCO reporting. The recordkeeping requirements are rooted in sound business practices, and the public information requirements serve the public interest by promoting transparency and disclosure. By codifying the information-sharing core principle into the Commission’s regulations, the Commission would reaffirm its commitment to promoting cooperation among industry participants in carrying out risk management functions.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 78197 EPA is proposing to determine under the Clean Air Act (CAA) that the Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan, Wisconsin areas have attained the 1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). The Milwaukee-Racine area includes Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, Washington, Waukesha, and Kenosha Counties. The Sheboygan area includes Sheboygan County. The proposed determinations are based on complete, quality-assured and certified ambient air monitoring data that show that the areas have monitored attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone standard for the 2006– 2008 and 2007–2009 monitoring periods. Preliminary data available for 2010 indicate that the areas continue to monitor attainment. If EPA finalizes this action, as a result of these determinations, the requirements for these areas to submit attainment demonstrations and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), reasonable further progress plans (RFP), contingency measures, and other State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to attainment of the standard would be suspended for as long as the areas continue to attain the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. These determinations would also suspend the requirement for EPA to promulgate attainment demonstration, RFP, and any other attainment-related Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) for these areas.

AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:20 Dec 14, 2010 Jkt 223001 Notice of document for public comment. ACTION: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a 60-day public comment period for the proposed Final EPA Policy on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes (Policy). The Policy complies with the Presidential Memorandum on Tribal Consultation issued November 5, 2009, directing agencies to develop a plan to implement fully Executive Order 13175 (Executive Order). The Executive Order specifies that each Agency must have a process that is accountable to establish regular and meaningful consultation and coordination with tribal officials in the development of policies that have tribal implications. The goals of the Policy are to: Establish clear EPA standards for the consultation process, including defining the what, when, and how of consultation; designate specific EPA personnel responsible for serving as consultation points of contact in order to promote consistency in, and coordination of, the consultation process; and establish a management oversight and reporting structure that will ensure accountability and transparency. The proposed final Policy sets a broad standard for when EPA should consider consulting with federally-recognized tribal governments. Notably, the scope of EPA’s proposed consultation policy is intended to be broader than that found in Executive Order 13175. The Policy reflects the principles expressed in the 1984 EPA Policy for the Administration of Environmental Programs on Indian Reservations (1984 Policy) for interacting with tribes. The 1984 Policy remains the cornerstone for EPA’s Indian program and assure[s] that tribal concerns and interests are considered whenever EPA’s actions and/or decisions may affect tribes. EPA is requesting comment on the policy described in this document. DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 16, 2011.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to determine under the Clean Air Act (CAA)

The Milwaukee-Racine area includes Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Racine, 
Washington, Waukesha, and Kenosha Counties. The Sheboygan area includes 
Sheboygan County. The proposed determinations are based on complete, 
quality-assured and certified ambient air monitoring data that show 
that the areas have monitored attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 
standard for the 2006-2008 and 2007-2009 monitoring periods. 
Preliminary data available for 2010 indicate that the areas continue to 
monitor attainment. If EPA finalizes this action, as a result of these 
determinations, the requirements for these areas to submit attainment 
demonstrations and associated reasonably available control measures 
(RACM), reasonable further progress plans (RFP), contingency measures, 
and other State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions related to 
attainment of the standard would be suspended for as long as the areas 
continue to attain the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. These determinations 
would also suspend the requirement for EPA to promulgate attainment 
demonstration, RFP, and any other attainment-related Federal 
Implementation Plans (FIPs) for these areas.
