The North Landing River is used by
a variety of vessels including small U.

has carefully considered the nature and
volume of vessel traffic on the waterway
in publishing this temporary deviation.
During the closure times there will be
limited opportunity for vessels able to
safely pass through the bridge in the
closed position to do so. Vessels able to
safely pass through the bridge in the
closed position may do so, after
receiving confirmation from the bridge
tender that it is safe to transit through
the bridge. The north span of the bridge
will be able to open for emergencies.
The Coast Guard will also inform the

the bridge so that vessel operators can
arrange their transit to minimize any
impact caused by the temporary
deviation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this action is to announce
that on October 26, 2015, EPA Region
10, delegated partial administrative
authority for implementation of certain
provisions of the Colville FIP to the
Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation. See 40 CFR part 49, subpart
M, sections 9951 through 9960, as
authorized by 40 CFR 49.122 of the
Federal Air Rules for Reservations
(FARR), 40 CFR part 49, subpart C.
I. Authority To Delegate
Federal regulations at 40 CFR 49.122
provide the EPA authority to delegate to
Indian Tribes partial administrative
authority to implement provisions of the
FARR, 40 CFR part 49, subpart C. Tribes
must submit a request to the Regional
Administrator that meets the
requirements of 40 CFR 49.122.
II. Request for Delegation
On May 21, 2014, Chaitna Sinha of
the Office of the Reservation Attorney of
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation submitted to the Regional
Administrator a request for delegation of
certain provision of the Colville FIP.
That request included all the
information and demonstrations
required by the FARR for delegation. A
copy of all documentation is on file at
the EPA Region 10, Seattle, Washington
office (see addresses above).
The Confederated Tribes of the
Colville Reservation requested
delegation for the following provisions:
40 CFR 49.9960(b) Rule for limiting
visible emissions, 40 CFR 49.9960(i)

III. EPA Response to the Request for
Delegation
The EPA and the Confederated Tribes
of the Colville Reservation signed a
delegation agreement that specifies the
provisions and authorities delegated.
The Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation are delegated the following
provisions; 40 CFR 49.9960(b) Rule for
limiting visible emissions, 40 CFR
49.9960(i) General rule for open
burning, and 40 CFR 49.9960(k) Rule for
air pollution episodes. In addition, the
agreement delegates to the Tribe
authority to investigate complaints and
assist the EPA in inspections. The
agreement also includes terms and
conditions applicable to the delegation.
A copy of the agreement is kept at EPA
Region 10 at the address above.
Prior to entering into the Delegation
Agreement, the EPA solicited by letter,
advice and insight on the proposed
delegation from Okanogan County,
Ferry County, City of Okanogan, Town
of Nespelem, Town of Coulee Dam,
Electric City, City of Omak, Lake
Roosevelt National Recreation Area,
Bureau of Land Management, and the
United States Forest Service. One
comment supporting delegation was
received.
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),
provides that, when an agency for good
cause finds that notice and public
procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. The
EPA has determined that there is good
cause for making today’s rule final
without prior proposal and opportunity
for comment because the EPA is merely
informing the public of partial
delegation of administrative authority to
the Confederated Tribes of the Colville
Reservation and making a technical
amendment to the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) by adding a note
announcing the partial delegation. Thus,
notice and public procedure are
unnecessary. The EPA finds that this
constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B).
Moreover, since today’s action does
not create any new regulatory
requirements, the EPA finds that good
cause exists to provide for an immediate
effective date pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3).
