B. Has Indiana submitted an approvable
ozone maintenance plan and
approvable motor vehicle emission
budget?
To be approvable, an ozone
maintenance plan, in part, must
demonstrate that the ozone standard
will be maintained in the ozone
nonattainment area for at least 10 years
after EPA approves the state’s ozone
redesignation request. A critical
component of ozone maintenance plans
is an ozone attainment emissions
inventory documenting the VOC and
NOX emissions inventory for the period
in which the area has attained the ozone
standard. The ozone maintenance
demonstration usually involves the
demonstration that future (during the 10
years after redesignation) VOC and NOX
emissions will be at or below the
attainment emissions. Indiana’s ozone
redesignation request contains such an
ozone maintenance demonstration.
Since the Chicago ozone
nonattainment area continues to violate
the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard, we
cannot conclude that Indiana has
developed an acceptable attainment
year emissions inventory. This means
that the ozone maintenance
demonstration portion of the ozone
maintenance plan is unacceptable.
Since the estimation of the VOC and
NOX MVEBs depends on the
determination of mobile source
emissions that, along with other
emissions in the nonattainment area,
provide for attainment of the ozone
standard, and since the Chicago
nonattainment area continues to violate
the 2008 eight-hour ozone standard, we
conclude that Indiana’s estimates of the
VOC and NOX MVEBs are also not
acceptable.
We are not proposing action on
Indiana’s ozone maintenance
demonstration and plan and MVEBs at
this time. However, we note that, if we
were to propose actions on these ozone
redesignation request elements, we
would find it necessary to propose
disapproval.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
and, therefore, is not subject to review
by the Office of Management and
Budget.
Paperwork Reduction Act
This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:59 Jun 27, 2014
Jkt 232001
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Regulatory Flexibility Act
This action merely disapproves state
law as not meeting Federal requirements
and imposes no additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies
that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.).
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Because this rule disapproves preexisting requirements under state law
and does not impose any additional
enforceable duty beyond that required
by state law, it does not contain any
unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as
described in the Unfunded Mandate
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4).
Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action also does not have
Federalism implications because it does
not have substantial direct effects 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, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely
disapproves a state rule, and does not
alter the relationship or the distribution
of power and responsibilities
established in the CAA.
Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This rule also does not have tribal
implications because it will not have a
substantial 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,
as specified by Executive Order 13175
(59 FR 22951, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it disapproves
a state rule.

Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, Or Use
Because it is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866 or a ‘‘significant energy action,’’
this action is also not subject to
Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001).
National Technology Transfer
Advancement Act
In reviewing state submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. In this context, in the absence
of a prior existing requirement for the
state to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a state submission for
failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA, when it reviews a state
submission, to use VCS in place of a
state submission that otherwise satisfies
the provisions of the CAA. Thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply.

ACTION:
Proposed rule; notice of intent.
EPA Region 5 is issuing a
Notice of Intent to Delete Operable Unit
2 (OU2) of the Naval Industrial Reserve
Ordnance Plant (NIROP) Superfund Site
(Site), located in Fridley, Minnesota,
from the National Priorities List (NPL)
and requests public comments on this
proposed action. The NPL, promulgated
pursuant to section 105 of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is
an appendix of the National Oil and
Hazardous Substances Pollution
Contingency Plan (NCP). EPA with the
concurrence of the State of Minnesota,
through the Minnesota Pollution
Control Agency (MPCA), has
determined that all appropriate
response actions under CERCLA at the
OU, identified herein, other than
operation, maintenance, and five-year
reviews, have been completed.
However, this partial deletion does not
preclude future actions under
Superfund.
EPA divided the NIROP Site into
three portions, known as OUs, for ease
of addressing its contaminant issues.
This partial deletion pertains to the OU2
portion of NIROP, which includes all
the unsaturated soils within the legal
boundaries of the NIROP Superfund Site
exclusive of unsaturated soils
underlying the former Plating Shop
Area (see Site Map in the SEMS ID
446572 document listed in the Deletion
Docket for OU2). The following areas
will remain on the NPL and are not
being considered for deletion as part of
this action: OU1 and OU3. OU1
includes the contaminated groundwater
within and originating from the NIROP
Superfund Site. OU3 includes all the
unsaturated soils underlying the former
Plating Shop Area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On October 2, 2013, we published a
proposed rule to list the northern longeared bat as an endangered species (78
FR 61046) under the Endangered
Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act;
16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.). That proposal
had a 60-day comment period, ending
December 2, 2013. On December 2,
2013, we extended the proposal’s
comment period for an additional 30
days, ending January 2, 2014 (78 FR
72058). For a description of previous
Federal actions concerning the northern
long-eared bat, please refer to the
October 2, 2013, proposed listing rule.
We also solicited and received
independent scientific review of the
information contained in the proposed
rule from peer reviewers with expertise
in the northern long-eared bat or similar
species biology, in accordance with our
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
July 1, 1994, peer review policy (59 FR
34270).
Section 4(b)(6) of the Act and its
implementing regulations at 50 CFR
424.17(a) require that we take one of
three actions within 1 year of a
proposed listing and concurrent
proposed designation of critical habitat:
(1) Finalize the proposed rule; (2)
withdraw the proposed rule; or (3)
extend the final determination by not
more than 6 months, if there is
substantial disagreement regarding the
sufficiency or accuracy of the available
data relevant to the determination.
Since the publication of the October
2, 2013, proposed listing rule, there has
been substantial disagreement regarding
the best available science as it relates to
the northern long-eared bat’s current
and predicted population trends and
threats. Differing interpretations of the
accuracy and sufficiency of the existing
information on white-nose syndrome,
which has been identified as the
primary threat to the species, have led
to disagreement regarding the current
status of the species. In particular, some
commenters raised questions regarding
the certainty of scientific information
used in the proposed listing rule. For
example, some raised questions about:
The probability and likely rate of whitenose syndrome spreading to currently
unaffected areas; how or whether the
disease will impact the northern longeared bat in currently unaffected or
recently affected areas within its range;
or how existing scientific models
predict such factors. Some commenters
stated that some portions of the species’
range where white-nose syndrome has
been present in hibernacula for several
years have yet to see declines in the
species’ numbers similar to what was
observed in the Northeast.
There is substantial scientific
uncertainty and disagreement about the
Service’s analysis or interpretation of
the data, specifically in how and to
what extent white-nose syndrome will
spread and affect the northern-long
eared bat across its range, which has a
bearing on our listing determination. As
a result of these comments, we find that
there is substantial disagreement
regarding the sufficiency or accuracy of
the available data relevant to our listing
determination. Therefore, in
consideration of these disagreements,
we have determined that a 6-month
extension of the final determination for
this rulemaking is necessary, and we are
hereby extending the final
determination for 6 months in order to
solicit and consider information that
will help to clarify these issues and to
fully analyze information regarding
available data that are relevant to our

noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comment. We have
explained our reasons for this deletion in the preamble to the direct
final Notice of Partial Deletion, and those reasons are incorporated
herein. If we receive no adverse comment(s) on this partial deletion
action, we will not take further action on this Notice of Intent for
Partial Deletion. If we receive adverse comment(s), we will withdraw
the direct final Notice of Partial Deletion, and it will not take
effect. We will, as appropriate, address all public comments in a
subsequent final Notice of Partial Deletion based on this Notice of
Intent for Partial Deletion. We will not institute a second comment
period on this Notice of Intent for Partial Deletion. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time.
