Download as PDF 21516 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 69 / Tuesday, April 10, 2012 / Proposed Rules ozone maintenance plan that Utah submitted in 1999. tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS IV. Proposed Action For the reasons described above, we are proposing the following actions concerning Utah’s revisions to the 1hour ozone maintenance plan for Salt Lake and Davis Counties that Utah submitted on February 22, 1999:3 • We are proposing to ratify our 2003 approval of Utah’s revisions to Section IX.D.2.b(4)(a), ‘‘NOX RACT.’’ • We are proposing to approve Utah’s revisions to Section IX.D.2.f(3), ‘‘Safety Margin,’’ and Utah’s addition of Table 9, ‘‘Safety Margin.’’ • We are proposing to approve Utah’s revisions to Section IX.D.2.f, Table 8. • We are proposing to disapprove Utah’s revisions to Section IX.D.2.h(2), ‘‘Determination of Contingency Action Level.’’ • We are proposing to ratify our 2003 approval of Utah’s revisions to subsection IX.D.2.j(1)(b) of Section IX.D.2.j(1), ‘‘Tracking System for Verification of Emission Inventory.’’ • We are proposing to ratify our 2003 approval of Utah’s removal of some references to CO in the plan and to approve Utah’s removal of all other references to CO in the plan. EPA is soliciting public comments on its proposed rulemaking as discussed in this document. EPA will consider these comments before taking final action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure by submitting written comments to EPA as discussed in this notice. V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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 proposed action merely approves some state law as meeting Federal requirements and disapproves other state law because it does not meet Federal requirements; this proposed action does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed 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 State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annualchance) Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C. 4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a). These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements. They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain management requirements. The community may at any time enact Flooding source(s) stricter requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final, and for the contents in those buildings. Corrections In the proposed rule published at 72 FR 68769, in the December 6, 2007, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Washington County, Oregon, and Incorporated Areas,’’ addressed the flooding sources Beal Creek, Beaverton Creek, Bethany Creek, Bronson Creek, Butternut Creek, Cedar Creek, Cedar Mill Creek, Cedar Mill Creek—North Overflow, Cedar Mill Creek—South Overflow, Cedar Mill Creek—Upper North Overflow, Celebrity Creek, Chicken Creek, Chicken Creek—West Tributary, Council Creek, Dairy Creek, Dawson Creek, Deer Creek, Erickson Creek, Glencoe Swale, Golf Creek, Gordon Creek, Hall Center Creek, Hall Creek, Hall Creek—106th Tributary, Hall Creek—South Fork, Hedges Creek, Holcomb Creek, McKay Creek, North Johnson Creek, North Johnson Creek— East Tributary, North Johnson Creek— North Tributary, Rock Creek North, Rock Creek South, South Johnson Creek, Storey Creek, Storey Creek—East Tributary, Storey Creek—Middle Tributary, Tualatin River, Tualatin River Overflow to Nyberg Slough, Turner Creek, Waible Gulch, Waible Gulch— North Tributary, Waible Gulch—South Tributary, and Willow Creek. In the proposed rule published at 73 FR 26060, in the May 8, 2008, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ‘‘Washington County, Oregon, and Incorporated Areas’’ addressed the flooding sources Dairy Creek and West Fork Dairy Creek. Both tables contained inaccurate information as to the location of referenced elevation, effective and modified elevation in feet, and/or communities affected for those flooding sources. In addition, they did not include the following flooding sources: Fanno Creek, Tualatin River—Golf Overflow, and Tualatin River—LaFollett Overflow. In this notice, FEMA is publishing a table containing the accurate information, to address these prior errors.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA) publishes proposed determinations of Base (1% annual-chance)
Flood Elevations (BFEs) and modified BFEs for communities participating
in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), in accordance with
section 110 of the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 42 U.S.C.
4104, and 44 CFR 67.4(a).
These proposed BFEs and modified BFEs, together with the floodplain
management criteria required by 44 CFR 60.3, are minimum requirements.
They should not be construed to mean that the community must change any
existing ordinances that are more stringent in their floodplain
management requirements. The community may at any time enact stricter
requirements of its own or pursuant to policies established by other
Federal, State, or regional entities. These proposed elevations are
used to meet the floodplain management requirements of the NFIP and
also are used to calculate the appropriate flood insurance premium
rates for new buildings built after these elevations are made final,
and for the contents in those buildings.

Corrections

In the proposed rule published at 72 FR 68769, in the December 6,
2007, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Washington County,
Oregon, and Incorporated Areas,'' addressed the flooding sources Beal
Creek, Beaverton Creek, Bethany Creek, Bronson Creek, Butternut Creek,
Cedar Creek, Cedar Mill Creek, Cedar Mill Creek--North Overflow, Cedar
Mill Creek--South Overflow, Cedar Mill Creek--Upper North Overflow,
Celebrity Creek, Chicken Creek, Chicken Creek--West Tributary, Council
Creek, Dairy Creek, Dawson Creek, Deer Creek, Erickson Creek, Glencoe
Swale, Golf Creek, Gordon Creek, Hall Center Creek, Hall Creek, Hall
Creek--106th Tributary, Hall Creek--South Fork, Hedges Creek, Holcomb
Creek, McKay Creek, North Johnson Creek, North Johnson Creek--East
Tributary, North Johnson Creek--North Tributary, Rock Creek North, Rock
Creek South, South Johnson Creek, Storey Creek, Storey Creek--East
Tributary, Storey Creek--Middle Tributary, Tualatin River, Tualatin
River Overflow to Nyberg Slough, Turner Creek, Waible Gulch, Waible
Gulch--North Tributary, Waible Gulch--South Tributary, and Willow
Creek. In the proposed rule published at 73 FR 26060, in the May 8,
2008, issue of the Federal Register, FEMA published a table under the
authority of 44 CFR 67.4. The table, entitled ``Washington County,
Oregon, and Incorporated Areas'' addressed the flooding sources Dairy
Creek and West Fork Dairy Creek. Both tables contained inaccurate
information as to the location of referenced elevation, effective and
modified elevation in feet, and/or communities affected for those
flooding sources. In addition, they did not include the following
flooding sources: Fanno Creek, Tualatin River--Golf Overflow, and
Tualatin River--LaFollett Overflow. In this notice, FEMA is publishing
a table containing the accurate information, to address these prior
errors. The information provided below should be used in lieu of that
previously published for Washington County, Oregon, and Incorporated
Areas.
