Federal Implementation Plans for Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin To Reduce Interstate Transport of Ozone
In this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking (SNPR), EPA is providing an opportunity for public comment on our conclusion that emissions from Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin significantly contribute to downwind nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 1997 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in other states. EPA is also proposing Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to address (a) the emissions identified as significantly contributing to nonattainment and interference with maintenance and (b) the transport requirements with respect to the relevant NAAQS. EPA is proposing to implement the ozone season NOX program in the Transport Rule (Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone in 27 States; Correction of SIP Approvals for 22 States) as the FIPs for Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin to address the emissions identified as significantly contributing to nonattainment or interfering with maintenance with respect to the 1997 ozone NAAQS. In addition, this notice identifies the budgets, associated variability limits, and allowance allocations that would be used for each state if EPA finalizes the FIPs proposed here.
Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD)
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District (SJVUAPCD) portion of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP).

We are approving a local rule that regulates these emission sources under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with a final action.

Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone Off Alaska; Scallops
The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) announces that the North Pacific Fishery Management Council (Council) has submitted Amendment 13 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Scallop fishery off Alaska (FMP) for review by the Secretary of Commerce (Secretary). If approved, Amendment 13 would implement an annual catch limit (ACL) and accountability measures (AMs) to prevent overfishing in the target fishery for weathervane scallops. Implementing these measures would require revising the maximum sustainable yield (MSY) and the optimum yield (OY) for weathervane scallops to account for total catch. Amendment 13 would also clarify that, in the absence of a statewide estimate of spawning biomass for weathervane scallops, the overfishing level (OFL) is specified as the MSY. Under Amendment 13, scallop species not targeted in the fishery would be classified as Ecosystem Component (EC) species. Amendment 13 is intended to promote the goals and objectives of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), the FMP, and other applicable laws.

Paperwork Reduction Act: Updated List of Approved Information Collections and Removal of a Redundant Reporting Requirement
This rule makes several technical amendments to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). This rule corrects one omission of a publication date in the authority citation paragraph of part 730 of the Export Administration Regulations.

Additionally, this rule updates the table of authorized information collection control numbers in Supplement No. 1 to part 730 of the EAR to reflect consolidation of several authorizations relating to license exceptions and exclusions into a single authorization with a single control number. Finally, this rule removes a requirement to report to BIS certain exports of oil transported from the North Slope of Alaska over Federal rights-of-way granted pursuant to section 203 of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act because BIS can now obtain this information from the Automated Export System (AES).

Methyl Parathion; Rescission of Previously Issued Cancellation Orders and Issuance of Revised Cancellation Orders for Certain Pesticide Registrations
This notice announces EPA's rescission of two previously issued cancellation orders, and the issuance of a revised cancellation order, pursuant to a voluntary request by the registrant and accepted by the Agency, of products containing methyl parathion, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. Specifically, this notice rescinds two previously issued Cancellation Orders, a February 25, 2011 Federal Register Notice and a March 23, 2011 Federal Register Notice to the extent they are applicable to methyl parathion products because the orders did not correctly reflect the terms and conditions of the registrant's 6(f)(1) voluntary cancellation request with respect to the effective date as well as conditions governing the disposition of existing stocks for the affected methyl parathion products. This revised order correctly identifies the effective date of cancellation for the affected product registrations as well as the corrected dates associated with the disposition of existing stocks. These are the last products containing methyl parathion registered for use in the United States. The rescission and revised order only applies to methyl parathion registrations. All other product registrations for all other chemicals that were included in the above mentioned cancellation orders and are not rescinded or otherwise affected by this action.
