standard for VOM granted to Royal
Fiberglass Pools, Inc. (Royal), for the
facility located in Dix, Illinois. EPA
approved the adjusted standard for
Royal on June 27, 2011. Due to a change
in ownership, the facility is now owned
by Latham Pool Products, Inc., d/b/a
Viking Pools. The revision amends the
adjusted standard for VOM currently
approved in the SIP for the facility to
reflect the change in ownership. This
revision does not change any of the
VOM control requirements and will not
result in an increase in VOM emissions
at the facility.

withdrawn and all public comments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

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
revisions to the Placer County Air
Pollution Control District (PCAPCD) and
South Coast Air Quality Management
District (SCAQMD) portions of the
California State Implementation Plan
(SIP). These revisions concern volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions
from the manufacture of medium
density fiberboard, melamine and
phenol resins used in plasticizing paper
and oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions
from stationary internal combustion
engines. We are proposing to rescind
local rules that regulate these emission
sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA
or the Act).

must arrive by August 13, 2014.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments,

This
document extends the public comment
period established in the Federal
Register document of May 19, 2014. In
that document, the Agency requests
comment on the information that should
be reported or disclosed for hydraulic
fracturing chemical substances and
mixtures and the mechanism for
obtaining this information. This
mechanism could be regulatory (under
the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) section 8(a) and/or section 8(d)),
voluntary, or a combination of both and
could include best management
practices, third-party certification and
collection, and incentives for disclosure
of this information. In addition, the
Agency is seeking comment on ways of
minimizing reporting burdens and costs
and of avoiding the duplication of State
and other Federal agency information
collections, while at the same time
maximizing data available for EPA risk
characterization, external transparency,
and public understanding. Also, EPA is
soliciting comments on incentives and
recognition programs that could be used
to support the development and use of
safer chemical substances and mixture
in hydraulic fracturing. EPA is hereby
extending the comment period, which
was set to end on August 18, 2014, to
September 18, 2014.
To submit comments, or access the

ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal.
AGENCY:
NMFS withdraws a proposed
rule that would have established new
regulations pertaining to compliance
with the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA) in the context of fishery
management actions developed
pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (MSA). Instead of going forward
with a final rule directly resulting from
the 2008 proposed rule, NMFS issued
an internal policy on February 19, 2013.
This policy, entitled ‘‘National
Environmental Policy Act Compliance
for Council-Initiated Fishery
Management Actions under the
Magnuson-Stevens Act’’ clarifies roles
and responsibilities of NMFS and the
Regional Fishery Management Councils
(Councils), explains timing and
procedural linkages, provides guidance
on documentation needs, and fosters
partnerships and cooperation between
NMFS and Councils on NEPA
compliance.
NMFS consulted with the Councils
and with the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) on proposed revisions to
the 2013 NMFS NEPA policy directive,
and based on those consultations NMFS
now proposes to use this policy as a
basis for issuing revised and updated
NEPA procedures for MSA actions in
the form of a line-office supplement to
NOAA Administrative Order (NAO)
216–6. On June 30, 2014, NMFS
published a Federal Register notice of
availability of the draft revised and
updated NEPA procedures for MSA
actions and requested public comments,
with a 90-day public comment period.
