accordance with section 1.4.3 of NFPA
101 (incorporated by reference, see
§ 17.1), and must be approved in writing
by the appropriate Veterans Health
Administration, Veterans Integrated
Service Network (VISN) Director. A
veteran living in a medical foster home
when the equivalency is granted or who
is placed there after it is granted must
be notified in writing of the

The notice must describe the exact
nature of the equivalency, the
requirements of this section with which
the medical foster home is unable to
comply, and explain why the VISN
Director deemed the equivalency
necessary. Only equivalencies that the
VISN Director determines do not pose a
risk to the health or safety of the veteran
may be granted. Also, equivalencies
may only be granted when technical
requirements of this section cannot be
complied with absent undue expense,
there is no other nearby home which
can serve as an adequate alternative,
and the equivalency is in the best
interest of the veteran.
(t) Cost of medical foster homes.
(1) Payment for the charges to veterans

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
BILLING CODE 8320–01–P
AGENCY:
ACTION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA. On November 16, 2011 (76 FR
70929), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the
District of Columbia. The NPR proposed
approval of the District of Columbia’s
regional haze plan for the first
implementation period, through 2018.
EPA proposed to approve this revision
since it assures reasonable progress
toward the national goal of achieving
natural visibility conditions in Class I
areas for the first implementation
period. This revision also meets the
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
5191
infrastructure requirements of
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110 (a)(2)(J),
relating to visibility protection for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and the
1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
The revision includes a long term
strategy with enforceable measures
ensuring reasonable progress towards
meeting the reasonable progress goals
for the first planning period, through
2018. The District of Columbia’s
Regional Haze Plan contains the
emission reductions needed to achieve
the District of Columbia’s share of
emission reductions agreed upon
through the regional planning process.
Other specific requirements of the CAA
and EPA’s Regional Haze Rule and the
rationale for EPA’s proposed action are
explained in the NPR and will not be
restated here. No public comments were
received on the NPR.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving a revision to the
District of Columbia State
Implementation Plan submitted by the
District of Columbia, through the
District Department of the Environment
(DDOE), on October 27, 2011, that
addresses regional haze for the first
implementation period. EPA is making
a determination that the District of
Columbia Regional Haze SIP contains
the emission reductions needed to
achieve the District of Columbia’s share
of emission reductions agreed upon
through the regional planning process.
Furthermore, the District of Columbia’s
Regional Haze Plan ensures that
emissions from the District will not
interfere with the reasonable progress
goals for neighboring states’ Class I
areas. In addition, EPA is approving this
revision because it meets the applicable
visibility related requirements of the
CAA section 110(a)(2) including, but not
limited to 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and
110(a)(2)(J), relating to visibility
protection for the 1997 8-hour ozone
NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5
NAAQS.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
E:\FR\FM\02FER1.SGM
02FER1
5192
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 22 / Thursday, February 2, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• 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);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the District, and EPA notes
that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
for reconsideration by the Administrator
of this final rule does not affect the
finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the
time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. This action pertaining to the
District of Columbia’s Regional Haze
Plan for the first implementation period,
through 2018 may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Regulations

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
In accordance with Executive
Order 13563, ‘‘Improving Regulation
and Regulatory Review,’’ the Maritime
Administration (MarAd) is evaluating
the continued validity of its rules and
determining whether they effectively
address current issues. As part of this
review, MarAd has decided to remove
parts of its regulations. The Maritime
Security Act of 1996, established the
Maritime Security Program, which
replaced the Operating-Differential
Subsidy (ODS) Program. Therefore, the
regulations pertaining to the ODS
Program and the ConstructionDifferential (CDS) Program are no longer
in use. In addition, the disuse of
regulations pertaining to the CDS
program, have rendered these
regulations obsolete. This rulemaking,
deleting these obsolete regulations, will
have no substantive effect on the
regulated public.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
February 2, 2012.
ADDRESSES: This final rule is available
for inspection and copying between 9
a.m. and 5 p.m., ET, Monday through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 18, 2011, President
Obama issued Executive Order 13563,
which outlined a plan to improve
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:06 Feb 01, 2012
Jkt 226001
regulation and regulatory review (76 FR
3821, 1/21/11). Executive Order 13563
reaffirms and builds upon governing
principles of contemporary regulatory
review, including Executive Order
12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and
Review,’’ (58 FR 51735, 10/4/1993), by
requiring Federal agencies to design
cost-effective, evidence-based
regulations that are compatible with
economic growth, job creation, and
competitiveness. The President’s plan
recognizes that these principles should
not only guide the Federal government’s
approach to new regulations, but to
existing ones as well. To that end,
Executive Order 13563 requires agencies
to review existing significant rules to
determine if they are outmoded,
ineffective, insufficient, or excessively
burdensome.
Accordingly, the Maritime
Administration (MarAd) is deleting
regulations 46 CFR parts 251, 252, 276,
280, 281,282, and 283. The regulations
related to the ODS Program are no
longer needed because they have been
superseded by the Maritime Security
Program established in the Maritime
Security Act of 1996, Public Law 104–
239. Section 3 of the Maritime Security
Act of 1996 prohibits the Secretary of
Transportation from entering into any
new ODS contracts. Additionally, all
previously awarded ODS contracts have
expired and no further payments will be
made. Therefore, the existing
regulations do not serve any useful
purpose.
The regulations governing the CDS
Program are being deleted because the
program has not been funded for
approximately thirty years and, as a
practical matter of disuse, the existing
regulations are outdated. If funds were
to be appropriated for CDS in the future,
contracts will be awarded under new
regulations or under existing or
modified policies and procedures for
awarding grants.
Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory
Planning and Review), Executive Order
13563 (Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review) and Department of
Transportation (DOT) Regulatory
Policies and Procedures; Public Law
104–121
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), supplemented
by E.O. 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 18,
2011) and DOT policies and procedures,
MarAd must determine whether a
regulatory action is ‘‘significant,’’ and
therefore subject to OMB review and the
requirements of the E.O. The Order
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
5193
defines ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
as one likely to result in a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy, a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal government or
communities.
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another Agency.
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impact of entitlements, grants, user fees,
or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof.
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in the E.O.
MarAd has determined that this final
rule is not considered a significant
regulatory action under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866 and, therefore,
was not reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget. This final rule
will not result in an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more. It also
is not considered a major rule for
purposes of Congressional review under
Public Law 104–121. This final rule is
also not significant under the Regulatory
Policies and Procedures of the
Department of Transportation (44 FR
11034, February 26, 1979). The costs
and overall economic impact of this
rulemaking are so minimal that no
further analysis is necessary.
Administrative Procedure Act
The Administrative Procedure Act (5
U.S.C. 553) provides an exception to
notice and comment procedures when
they are unnecessary or contrary to the
public interest. MarAd finds that under
5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B) good cause exists
for not providing notice and comment
since this final rule deletes regulations
that no longer serve the public interest
as a result of having been superseded or
as a matter of disuse. Under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3), MarAd finds that, for the
same reasons, good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register.
Executive Order 13132 (Federalism)
We analyzed this rulemaking in
accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in E.O. 13132
(‘‘Federalism’’) and have determined
that it does not have sufficient
Federalism implications to warrant the
preparation of a Federalism summary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Throughout this document, whenever ``we,'' ``us,'' or ``our'' is
used, we mean EPA. On November 16, 2011 (76 FR 70929), EPA published a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the District of Columbia. The
NPR proposed approval of the District of Columbia's regional haze plan
for the first implementation period, through 2018. EPA proposed to
approve this revision since it assures reasonable progress toward the
national goal of achieving natural visibility conditions in Class I
areas for the first implementation period. This revision also meets the
infrastructure requirements of 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and 110 (a)(2)(J),
relating to visibility protection for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and
the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
The revision includes a long term strategy with enforceable
measures ensuring reasonable progress towards meeting the reasonable
progress goals for the first planning period, through 2018. The
District of Columbia's Regional Haze Plan contains the emission
reductions needed to achieve the District of Columbia's share of
emission reductions agreed upon through the regional planning process.
Other specific requirements of the CAA and EPA's Regional Haze Rule and
the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained in the NPR and
will not be restated here. No public comments were received on the NPR.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving a revision to the District of Columbia State
Implementation Plan submitted by the District of Columbia, through the
District Department of the Environment (DDOE), on October 27, 2011,
that addresses regional haze for the first implementation period. EPA
is making a determination that the District of Columbia Regional Haze
SIP contains the emission reductions needed to achieve the District of
Columbia's share of emission reductions agreed upon through the
regional planning process. Furthermore, the District of Columbia's
Regional Haze Plan ensures that emissions from the District will not
interfere with the reasonable progress goals for neighboring states'
Class I areas. In addition, EPA is approving this revision because it
meets the applicable visibility related requirements of the CAA section
110(a)(2) including, but not limited to 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) and
110(a)(2)(J), relating to visibility protection for the 1997 8-hour
ozone NAAQS and the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting
[[Page 5192]]
Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
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);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the District, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by April 2, 2012. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
