direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.
12. Energy Effects
This action is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under Executive Order
13211, Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use.
13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
14. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety
zone of limited size and duration. This
rule is categorically excluded from
further review under paragraph 34(g)
and 35(b) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

Removal of 30-Day Residency
Requirement for Per Diem Payments
Department of Veterans Affairs.
Final rule; confirmation of
effective date.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
SUMMARY: The Department of Veterans
Affairs (VA) published a direct final rule
amending its regulations concerning per
diem payments to State homes for the
provision of nursing home care to
veterans. Specifically, this rule removes
the requirement that a veteran must
have resided in a State home for 30
consecutive days before VA will pay per
diem for that veteran when there is no
overnight stay. VA received no
significant adverse comments
concerning this rule or its companion
substantially identical proposed rule
published on the same date. This
document confirms that the direct final
rule became effective on November 26,
2012. In a companion document in this
issue of the Federal Register, we are
withdrawing as unnecessary the
proposed rule.
DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is
effective November 26, 2012.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a direct
final rule published in the Federal
Register on September 27, 2012, 77 FR
59318, VA amended 38 CFR 51.43 to
eliminate a requirement that a veteran
must have resided in a State home for
30 consecutive days before VA will pay
per diem for that veteran when there is
no overnight stay. VA published a
companion substantially identical
proposed rule at 77 FR 59354 on the
same date to serve as a proposal for the
provisions in the direct final rule in case
adverse comments were received. The
direct final rule and proposed rule each
provided a 30-day comment period that
ended on October 29, 2012. No
significant adverse comments were
received. Members of the general public
submitted two comments supporting the
rulemaking.
Under the direct final rule procedures
that were described in 77 FR 59318 and
E:\FR\FM\26MRR1.SGM
26MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 58 / Tuesday, March 26, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
77 FR 59354, the direct final rule
became effective on November 26, 2012,
because no significant adverse
comments were received within the
comment period. In a companion
document in this issue of the Federal
Register, VA is withdrawing the
proposed rulemaking, RIN 2900–AO37,
published at 77 FR 59354, as
unnecessary.

The Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or
designee, approved this document and
authorized the undersigned to sign and
submit the document to the Office of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
EPA is
withdrawing the January 31, 2013 (78
FR 6733), direct final rule approving a
revision to the the Minnesota sulfur
dioxide SIP for Flint Hills Resources
Pine Bend, LLC, in Dakota County. In
the direct final rule, EPA stated that if
adverse comments were received by
March 4, 2013, the rule would be
withdrawn and not take effect. On
February 5, 2013, EPA received a
comment, which it interprets as adverse
and, therefore, EPA is withdrawing the
direct final rule. EPA will address the
comment in a subsequent final action
based upon the proposed rulemaking
action, also published on January 31,
2013 (78 FR 6783). EPA will not
institute a second comment period on
this action.
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) infrastructure SIPs. The CAA
requires that each state adopt and
submit a SIP for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of each
NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is
commonly referred to as an
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. EPA is
conditionally approving the
submissions for Kentucky, North
Carolina and Tennessee that relate to
adequate provisions prohibiting
emissions that interfere with any other
state’s required measures to prevent
significant deterioration of its air
quality. All other applicable
infrastructure requirements for the 1997
annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS
associated with these States have been
addressed in separate rulemakings.
