litigation; and
(b) Meets the criteria of section 3(b)(2)
requiring that all regulations be written
in clear language and contain clear legal
standards.
Consultation With Indian Tribes
(Executive Order 13175 and Department
Policy)
The Department of the Interior strives
to strengthen its government-togovernment relationship with Indian
tribes through a commitment to
consultation with Indian tribes and
recognition of their right to selfgovernance and tribal sovereignty. We
have evaluated this rule under the
Department’s consultation policy and
under the criteria in Executive Order
13175 and have determined that it has
no substantial direct effects on federally
recognized Indian tribes and that
consultation under the Department’s
tribal consultation policy is not
required.
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)(44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.)
This rule does not contain
information collection requirements,
and a submission to the Office of
Management and Budget under the PRA
is not required.
National Environmental Policy Act
(NEPA)
This rule does not constitute a major
Federal action significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. A
detailed statement under the NEPA of
1969 is not required because we have
determined the rule is categorically
excluded under 43 CFR 46.210(i)
because it is administrative, legal, and
technical in nature. We have also
determined that the rule does not
involve any of the extraordinary
circumstances listed in 43 CFR 46.215
that would require further analysis
under the NEPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The following modifications and
corrections will update five roadless
areas due to land exchanges that
occurred after the Idaho Roadless Rule
was finalized, correct two roadless area
mapping errors associated with Forest
Plan Special Areas, and correct the list
at 36 CFR 294.29 because an area had
been inappropriately shown as only
located on the Idaho Panhandle
National Forest instead of split between
the Idaho Panhandle and Kootenai
National Forests. The Idaho Roadless
Rule authorizes administrative
corrections to the maps of lands
identified in 36 CFR 294.22(c),
including but not limited to, adjustment
that remedy clerical errors,
typographical errors, mapping errors, or
improvements in mapping technology.
Pursuant to 36 CFR 294.27(b), the Chief
of the Forest Service may issue
administrative corrections after a 30-day
public notice and opportunity to
comment. The Final Rule also
authorizes modifications that add to,
remove from, or modify the designations
and management classifications listed in
36 CFR 294.29 based on changed
circumstances or public need. The Chief
of the Forest Service may issue
modifications after a 45-day public
notice and opportunity to comment.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 112 / Wednesday, June 11, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
wreier-aviles on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with RULES
The Forest Service published a
proposed rule in the Federal Register on
April 19, 2013 (78 FR 23522) for a 45day public comment period. The Forest
Service presented the corrections and
modifications to the State of Idaho’s
Roadless Rule Advisory Commission on
April 5, 2012 and the Governor of Idaho
has recommended the Forest Service
proceed with the modifications.
Comments on the Proposal
The Forest Service received two
comments on the proposed
modifications and corrections.
The first respondent was opposed to
the expansion of the five Idaho Roadless
Areas. This respondent did not feel the
expansion would better the country,
state, counties, and cities.
Response: The modifications to the
five Idaho Roadless Areas adds 1,464
acres to the existing 9.3 million acres of
roadless areas in Idaho. The additions
are necessary because of land exchanges
that occurred since the Idaho Roadless
Rule was finalized. All the acres are
either surrounded by existing Idaho
Roadless Areas or are adjacent to an
existing Idaho Roadless Area. Adding
these lands to existing or adjacent
roadless areas will result in a consistent
management approach. The Idaho
Roadless Rule represents a compromise
that balances the nationally recognized
need for conservation of roadless areas
with being more responsive to local
communities and citizens.
The second respondent agreed with
the modifications and administrative
corrections to Big Creek, Pinchot Butte,
Roland Point, Wonderful Peak, SalmoPriest, and Upper Priest Idaho Roadless
Areas, but did not agree with two of the
five modifications to Grandmother
Mountain. Two of the parcels are
adjacent to lands classified as Wildland
Recreation and lands classified as
Backcountry/Restoration. The
respondent believes the acquired lands
should be classified as Wildland
Recreation, not Backcountry/
Restoration.
Response: The Forest Service believes
the Backcountry/Restoration is the more
appropriate management classification
for these parcels for two reasons. First,
the majority of the parcels border
existing Idaho Roadless Areas classified
as Backcountry Restoration. A smaller
portion of the parcels that border
existing Idaho Roadless Areas classified
as Wildland Recreation. Second, the
respondent is a member of the State of
Idaho’s Roadless Rule Advisory
Commission and supported the
Commission’s April 23, 2012 letter to
the Governor of Idaho supporting the
proposed modifications.
Restoration. These modifications occur
in T47N, R6E, sections 19 and 20, Boise
Meridian and were part of the Olson
Wondeful Land Exchange.
Modifications Due to Lands Acquired
Through Land Exchanges
The Forest Service is modifying the
following Idaho Roadless Areas due to
acquisition of lands through land
exchanges that occurred since the Idaho
Roadless Rule was finalized in the fall
of 2008. These modifications will
update the maps with correct ownership
and management classifications.
Big Creek Idaho Roadless Area #143.
Two parcels of land, 158 acres, are
added to the Big Creek roadless area and
are classified as Backcountry
Restoration. These modifications occur
in T46N, R2E, section 11; and T47N,
R2E, section 35, Boise Meridian and
were part of the Spooky Butte Land
Exchange.
Grandmother Mountain Idaho
Roadless Area #148. Five parcels of
land, 1,107 acres, are added to
Grandmother Mountain roadless area
and are classified as Backcountry
Restoration. These modifications occur
in T43N, R3E, section 26; and T43N,
R4E, sections 5, 7, 17, and 31, Boise
Meridian and were part of the
Grandmother Mountain Land Exchange
and an unnamed land exchange with a
single party.
Pinchot Butte Idaho Roadless Area
#149. One parcel of land, 80 acres, is
added to Pinchot Butte roadless area
and is classified as Backcountry
Restoration. Bureau of Land
Management lands surround this parcel
on three sides and are also roadless.
These modifications occur in T43N,
R4E, section 33, Boise Meridian and
were part of the Grandmother Mountain
Land Exchange.
Roland Point Idaho Roadless Area
#146. One parcel of land, 60 acres, is
added to Roland Point roadless area and
will be classified as Backcountry
Restoration. These modifications occur
in T47N, R6E, sections 29, 31, and 32,
Boise Meridian and were part of the
Lucky Swede Land Exchange.
Wonderful Peak Idaho Roadless Area
#152. One parcel of land, 59 acres, is
added to Wonderful Peak roadless area
and will be classified as Backcountry
Salmo-Priest Idaho Roadless Area
#981. The Idaho Roadless Rule is
modified to correct a mapping error. A
small portion (65 acres) of the SalmoPriest Idaho Roadless Area is changed
from a Forest Plan Special Area to Wild
Land Recreation. This change reflects
the width of the eligible Wild and
Scenic River (Hughes Fork) located in
this section. These modifications occur
in T63N, R5W, sections 5 and 6; T64N,
R5W, sections 20, 28 and 29, Boise
Meridian.
Upper Priest Idaho Roadless Area
#123. The Idaho Roadless Rule is
modified to correct a mapping error. A
small portion (112 acres) of the Upper
Priest Roadless Area is changed from
Backcountry/Restoration to a Forest
Plan Special Area. This change reflects
the width of the eligible Wild and
Scenic River (Hughes Fork) located in
this section. These proposed
modifications occur in T62N, R4W,
sections 6, 7 and 8; T62N, R5W, section
1; T63N, R5W, sections 12, 13, 16, 21,
28, 33, and 34, Boise Meridian.

I. Summary of our Final Action
The EPA is taking final action to
partially approve and partially
disapprove the Washington Regional
Haze SIP submitted on December 22,
2010. In this action, the EPA is
approving the following provisions of
the Washington SIP: The identification
of affected Class I areas and
determination of baseline conditions,
the natural conditions and uniform rate
of progress (URP) for each Class I area;
the emission inventories; the sources of
visibility impairment in Washington’s
Class I areas; the State’s monitoring
strategy; the State’s consultation with
other states and Federal Land Managers
(FLMs); the reasonable progress goals
(RPGs); the long-term strategy (LTS);
and the commitment to submit the
periodic SIP revisions and 5-year
Progress Reports.
In today’s action, we are also
approving the State’s BART
determinations for the BP Cherry Point

Refinery, the Port Townsend Paper
Company, the LaFarge North America
facility, and Weyerhaeuser’s Longview
facility, as well as portions of the BART
determinations for the Tesoro refinery
and the Intalco facility. The EPA is
disapproving Washington’s NOX BART
determination and promulgating a
BART Alternative for five emission
units at the Tesoro refinery. The EPA is
also finalizing a limited approval and
limited disapproval of the State’s SO2
BART determination for the potlines at
the Intalco facility and promulgating an
SO2 BART Alternative for the potlines,
consisting of an annual limit of 80% of
base year SO2 emissions. Finally, the
EPA is disapproving the State’s BART
exemption for the Wenatchee Works
and promulgating BART for SO2, NOX,
and PM emissions at the facility.
The resulting BART FIP for the Tesoro
refinery, the Intalco facility, and the
Wenatchee Works does not require the
purchase or installation of new air
pollution control equipment, but rather
establishes BART based on existing
control technology. Thus, the only
additional costs incurred by these
facilities will be minimal expenditures
for monitoring, reporting, and
recordkeeping. The benefit to the
environment is the prevention of
visibility degradation due to potential
future increases in emissions from
changes envisioned at the facilities.
This final action is consistent with
our proposed actions and meets the
requirements of CAA sections 169A and
169B and 40 CFR 51.308.
II. Background
In the CAA Amendments of 1977,
Congress established a program to
protect and improve visibility in
national parks and wilderness areas. See
CAA section 169A. Congress amended
the visibility provisions in the CAA in
1990 to focus attention on the problem
of regional haze. See CAA section 169B.
The EPA promulgated regulations in
1999 to implement sections 169A and
169B of the Act. These regulations
require states to develop and implement
plans to ensure reasonable progress
toward improving visibility in
mandatory Class I Federal areas 1 (Class
1 Areas designated as mandatory Class I Federal
areas consist of national parks exceeding 6,000
acres, wilderness areas and national memorial parks
exceeding 5,000 acres, and all international parks
that were in existence on August 7, 1977. 42 U.S.C.

CAA, the EPA, in consultation with the Department
of Interior, promulgated a list of 156 areas where
visibility is identified as an important value. 44 FR

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Forest Service is
modifying the boundaries for the Big Creek, Grandmother Mountain,
Pinchot Butte, Roland Point, and Wonderful Peak Idaho Roadless Areas on
the Idaho Panhandle National Forests to include lands acquired within
and/or adjacent to these roadless areas. In addition, the Forest
Service is correcting mapping errors involving Forest Plan Special
Areas in the Salmo-Priest and Upper Priest Idaho Roadless Areas. The
Forest Service is also making an administrative correction to add the
Buckhorn Ridge Idaho Roadless Area to the list under the Kootenai
National Forest. These modifications and corrections are pursuant to
Forest Service regulations.
DATES: This final rule is effective June 11, 2014.

between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, Monday through
Friday.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
The following modifications and corrections will update five
roadless areas due to land exchanges that occurred after the Idaho
Roadless Rule was finalized, correct two roadless area mapping errors
associated with Forest Plan Special Areas, and correct the list at 36
CFR 294.29 because an area had been inappropriately shown as only
located on the Idaho Panhandle National Forest instead of split between
the Idaho Panhandle and Kootenai National Forests. The Idaho Roadless
Rule authorizes administrative corrections to the maps of lands
identified in 36 CFR 294.22(c), including but not limited to,
adjustment that remedy clerical errors, typographical errors, mapping
errors, or improvements in mapping technology. Pursuant to 36 CFR
294.27(b), the Chief of the Forest Service may issue administrative
corrections after a 30-day public notice and opportunity to comment.
The Final Rule also authorizes modifications that add to, remove from,
or modify the designations and management classifications listed in 36
CFR 294.29 based on changed circumstances or public need. The Chief of
the Forest Service may issue modifications after a 45-day public notice
and opportunity to comment.
[[Page 33437]]
The Forest Service published a proposed rule in the Federal
Register on April 19, 2013 (78 FR 23522) for a 45-day public comment
period. The Forest Service presented the corrections and modifications
to the State of Idaho's Roadless Rule Advisory Commission on April 5,
2012 and the Governor of Idaho has recommended the Forest Service
proceed with the modifications.
Comments on the Proposal
The Forest Service received two comments on the proposed
modifications and corrections.
The first respondent was opposed to the expansion of the five Idaho
Roadless Areas. This respondent did not feel the expansion would better
the country, state, counties, and cities.
Response: The modifications to the five Idaho Roadless Areas adds
1,464 acres to the existing 9.3 million acres of roadless areas in
Idaho. The additions are necessary because of land exchanges that
occurred since the Idaho Roadless Rule was finalized. All the acres are
either surrounded by existing Idaho Roadless Areas or are adjacent to
an existing Idaho Roadless Area. Adding these lands to existing or
adjacent roadless areas will result in a consistent management
approach. The Idaho Roadless Rule represents a compromise that balances
the nationally recognized need for conservation of roadless areas with
being more responsive to local communities and citizens.
The second respondent agreed with the modifications and
administrative corrections to Big Creek, Pinchot Butte, Roland Point,
Wonderful Peak, Salmo-Priest, and Upper Priest Idaho Roadless Areas,
but did not agree with two of the five modifications to Grandmother
Mountain. Two of the parcels are adjacent to lands classified as
Wildland Recreation and lands classified as Backcountry/Restoration.
The respondent believes the acquired lands should be classified as
Wildland Recreation, not Backcountry/Restoration.
Response: The Forest Service believes the Backcountry/Restoration
is the more appropriate management classification for these parcels for
two reasons. First, the majority of the parcels border existing Idaho
Roadless Areas classified as Backcountry Restoration. A smaller portion
of the parcels that border existing Idaho Roadless Areas classified as
Wildland Recreation. Second, the respondent is a member of the State of
Idaho's Roadless Rule Advisory Commission and supported the
Commission's April 23, 2012 letter to the Governor of Idaho supporting
the proposed modifications.
Modifications Due to Lands Acquired Through Land Exchanges
The Forest Service is modifying the following Idaho Roadless Areas
due to acquisition of lands through land exchanges that occurred since
the Idaho Roadless Rule was finalized in the fall of 2008. These
modifications will update the maps with correct ownership and
management classifications.
Big Creek Idaho Roadless Area #143. Two parcels of land, 158 acres,
are added to the Big Creek roadless area and are classified as
Backcountry Restoration. These modifications occur in T46N, R2E,
section 11; and T47N, R2E, section 35, Boise Meridian and were part of
the Spooky Butte Land Exchange.
Grandmother Mountain Idaho Roadless Area #148. Five parcels of
land, 1,107 acres, are added to Grandmother Mountain roadless area and
are classified as Backcountry Restoration. These modifications occur in
T43N, R3E, section 26; and T43N, R4E, sections 5, 7, 17, and 31, Boise
Meridian and were part of the Grandmother Mountain Land Exchange and an
unnamed land exchange with a single party.
Pinchot Butte Idaho Roadless Area #149. One parcel of land, 80
acres, is added to Pinchot Butte roadless area and is classified as
Backcountry Restoration. Bureau of Land Management lands surround this
parcel on three sides and are also roadless. These modifications occur
in T43N, R4E, section 33, Boise Meridian and were part of the
Grandmother Mountain Land Exchange.
Roland Point Idaho Roadless Area #146. One parcel of land, 60
acres, is added to Roland Point roadless area and will be classified as
Backcountry Restoration. These modifications occur in T47N, R6E,
sections 29, 31, and 32, Boise Meridian and were part of the Lucky
Swede Land Exchange.
Wonderful Peak Idaho Roadless Area #152. One parcel of land, 59
acres, is added to Wonderful Peak roadless area and will be classified
as Backcountry Restoration. These modifications occur in T47N, R6E,
sections 19 and 20, Boise Meridian and were part of the Olson Wondeful
Land Exchange.
Technical Correction to Theme Classifications
