Executive Order 13132 encourages
independent regulatory agencies to
consider the impact of their actions on
state and local interests. NCUA, an
independent regulatory agency as
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily
complies with the executive order to
adhere to fundamental federalism
principles. This rule would not have a
substantial direct effect on the states, on
the relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. NCUA has
determined that this rule does not
constitute a policy that has federalism
implications for purposes of the
executive order.

Certifications and Exemptions Under

Department of the Navy, DoD.
Final rule.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Department of the Navy
(DoN) is amending its certifications and
exemptions under the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at
Sea, 1972 (72 COLREGS), to reflect that
the Deputy Assistant Judge Advocate
General (DAJAG) (Admiralty and
Maritime Law) has determined that USS
CORONADO (LCS 4) is a vessel of the
Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with certain provisions of the 72
COLREGS without interfering with its
special function as a naval ship. The
intended effect of this rule is to warn
mariners in waters where 72 COLREGS
apply.
DATES: This rule is effective December
13, 2012 and is applicable beginning
December 4, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to the authority granted in 33 U.S.C.
1605, the DoN amends 32 CFR Part 706.
This amendment provides notice that
the DAJAG (Admiralty and Maritime
Law), under authority delegated by the
Secretary of the Navy, has certified that
USS CORONADO (LCS 4) is a vessel of
the Navy which, due to its special
construction and purpose, cannot fully
comply with the following specific

paragraph 3(a), pertaining to the
location of the forward masthead light
in the forward quarter of the ship, and
the horizontal distance between the
forward and after masthead lights;
Annex I, paragraph 2(f)(i), pertaining to
the placement of the masthead light or
lights above and clear of all other lights
and obstructions; Annex I, paragraph
3(c), pertaining to the task light’s
horizontal distance from the fore and aft
centerline of the vessel in the
athwartship direction; and Rule 21(a),
pertaining to the arc of visibility of the
aft masthead light. The DAJAG
(Admiralty and Maritime Law) has also
certified that the lights involved are
located in closest possible compliance
with the applicable 72 COLREGS
requirements.
Moreover, it has been determined, in
accordance with 32 CFR Parts 296 and
701, that publication of this amendment
for public comment prior to adoption is
impracticable, unnecessary, and
contrary to public interest since it is
based on technical findings that the
placement of lights on this vessel in a
manner differently from that prescribed
herein will adversely affect the vessel’s
ability to perform its military functions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 3, 2012 (77 FR 60339),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
NPR proposed approval of the 2002 base
year emissions inventory portion of the
Pennsylvania SIP revision submitted by
the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on
November 10, 2009.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
EPA is approving the fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) 2002 base year
emissions inventory portion of the
Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revision submitted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,
through the Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (PADEP), on
November 10, 2009. The emissions
inventory is part of the November 10,
2009 SIP revision that was submitted to
meet nonattainment requirements
related to the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley
nonattainment area (hereafter referred to
as the Area) for the 1997 PM2.5 National
Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS). EPA is approving the 2002
base year PM2.5 emissions inventory in
accordance with the requirements of the
Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This final rule is effective on
January 14, 2013.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA–R03–OAR–2010–0601. All
documents in the docket are listed in
the www.regulations.gov Web site.
Although listed in the electronic docket,
some information is not publicly
available, i.e., confidential business
information (CBI) or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on
the Internet and will be publicly
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are
available either electronically through
www.regulations.gov or in hard copy for
public inspection during normal
business hours at the Air Protection
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
Copies of the State submittal are
available at the Pennsylvania
Department of Environmental
Protection, Bureau of Air Quality
Control, P.O. Box 8468, 400 Market
Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105.
The 2002 base year emissions
inventory submitted by PADEP on
November 10, 2009 for the Area
includes emissions estimates that cover
the general source categories of point
sources, area sources, on-road mobile
sources, and non-road mobile sources.
The pollutants that comprise the
inventory are PM2.5, coarse particles
(PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), ammonia
(NH3), and sulfur dioxide (SO2). EPA
has reviewed the results, procedures
and methodologies for the base year
emissions inventory submitted by
PADEP. The year 2002 was selected by
PADEP as the base year for the
emissions inventory per 40 CFR
51.1008(b).
A discussion of the emissions
inventory development as well as the
emissions inventory can be found in the
November 10, 2009 SIP submittal as
well as in the NPR. Specific
requirements of the base year emissions
inventory and the rationale for EPA’s
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 the 2002 base year
PM2.5 emissions inventory for the Area
as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP.

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
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 state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
