SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The bridge

deviation from the requirement to open
on signal as required by 33 CFR 117.5

construction work requires 24-hour
periods where the bridge will be unable
to open to navigation. However, once a
week, the bridge will be able to open to
navigation for a period not to exceed
two hours. Due to the nature of the work
and the time necessary to dismantle the
equipment, a definitive schedule of
openings could not be created. The date
and time of the weekly opening will be
announced through a Coast Guard
Broadcast Notice to Mariners at least 48
hours before the opening. The opening
duration and frequency were
established through coordination
meetings with the local waterway users
during August 2014. The vertical
clearance of the swing bridge in the
closed-to-navigation position is 12 feet
at mean high water. Vessels able to pass
through the bridge in the closed
position may do so at any time and are
advised to proceed with caution. During
this temporary deviation, the southern
approach to Gwynn’s Island by Sandy
Point, VA can be used as an alternate
route for vessels able to transit in water
depths of two feet. The bridge will not
be able to open for emergencies during
the closure periods.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.
Dated: September 3, 2014.

Approval and Promulgation of
Implementation Plans; Alaska
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve revisions to the Alaska State
Implementation Plan (SIP). The State of
Alaska (State) submitted these revisions
on February 13, 2008, December 11,
2009, April 14, 2010, November 29,
2010, October 21, 2011, December 10,
2012, and January 28, 2013, to meet
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements.
These revisions update the Alaska SIP
to reflect changes to the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS), area designations, and
Federal permitting requirements under
section 110 of the CAA. In addition, the
submitted changes revise and clarify
Alaska permitting rules, and remove
provisions that are duplicated in other
regulations. Although the EPA is
approving most of the submitted
revisions, the EPA is not approving
certain provisions which are
inappropriate for SIP approval. The EPA
is also correcting the SIP to remove
specific provisions that were previously
approved into the SIP in error. The
corrections remove provisions that
implement other requirements of the
CAA, are not required by section 110 of
the CAA, and were not relied on by the
State to demonstrate attainment or
maintenance of the NAAQS or to meet
other specific requirements of section
110 of the CAA. Finally, the EPA is
deferring action on certain portions of
the submissions, including those that
adopt by reference updates to the
Federal nonattainment major new
source review requirements, because
those revisions will be addressed in
separate actions.
This final rule is effective on
October 20, 2014.
