Download as PDF 59878 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 190 / Monday, October 1, 2012 / Proposed Rules that may disproportionately affect children. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS Executive Order 12630 (Taking of Private Property) The FHWA and the FTA do not anticipate that this action would affect a taking of private property or otherwise have taking implications under Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights. National Environmental Policy Act Agencies are required to adopt implementing procedures for NEPA that establish specific criteria for, and identification of, three classes of actions: Those that normally require preparation of an environmental impact statement; those that normally require preparation of an environmental assessment; and those that are categorically excluded from further NEPA review (40 CFR 1507.3(b)). The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations do not direct agencies to prepare a NEPA analysis or document before establishing agency procedures (such as this regulation) that supplement the CEQ regulations for implementing NEPA. The CEs are one part of those agency procedures, and therefore establishing CEs does not require preparation of a NEPA analysis or document. Agency NEPA procedures are generally procedural guidance to assist agencies in the fulfillment of agency responsibilities under NEPA, but are not the agency’s final determination of what level of NEPA analysis is required for a particular proposed action. The requirements for establishing agency NEPA procedures are set forth at 40 CFR 1505.1 and 1507.3. The determination that establishing CEs does not require NEPA analysis and documentation was upheld in Heartwood, Inc. v. U.S. Forest Service, 73 F. Supp. 2d 962, 972–73 (S.D. Ill. 1999), aff’d, 230 F.3d 947, 954– 55 (7th Cir. 2000). Finally, this action is intended to streamline the environmental process for reviewing proposed highway and transit projects, including projects that will be environmentally beneficial. It is consistent with, and promotes the purposes of, Executive Order 13604 (Improving Performance of Federal Permitting and Review of Infrastructure Projects). Regulation Identification Number A RIN is assigned to each regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. The Regulatory Information Service Center publishes VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:39 Sep 28, 2012 Jkt 226001 the Unified Agenda in April and October of each year. The RIN contained in the heading of this document can be used to cross reference this action with the Unified Agenda. List of Subjects 49 CFR Part 622 Environmental impact statements, Energy conservation, Grant programs— transportation, Public transit, Recreation areas, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. 23 CFR Part 771 Environmental impact statements, Environmental protection, Grant programs—transportation, Highways and roads, Historic preservation, Public lands, Recreation areas, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. In consideration of the foregoing, the FHWA and the FTA propose to amend title 49, Code of Federal Regulations part 622 and title 23, Code of Federal Regulations part 771 as follows: (A) In the same location with the same capacity, dimensions, and design as the original road, highway, or bridge as before the declaration, and (B) Commenced within a 2-year period beginning on the date of the declaration. * * * * * Issued on: September 21, 2012.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA is proposing to approve six Permit-by-Rule provisions, a Permit to Install and Operate program, two permanent exemptions from the Permit to Install requirement and a general permit program as additions to Ohio’s State Implementation Plan under the Clean Air Act. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency has requested these rule revisions to make its air pollution permit program more efficient. Approving these additions will make the Permits by Rule, Permits to Install and Operate and general permits federally enforceable. Because these rule revisions will make Ohio’s air permit program more efficient while continuing to protect human health and the environment, EPA is taking direct final action to approve the revisions. DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 31, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State’s SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
