FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
February 16, 2016, the Coast Guard
published the proposed rule ‘‘Safety
Zone, Block Island Wind Farm’’ in the
Federal Register (81 FR 7718). The
Coast Guard proposes to establish a 500yard safety zone around each of five
locations where the Block Island Wind
Farm (BIWF) wind turbine generator
(WTG) towers, nacelles, blades and
subsea cables will be installed in the
navigable waters of the Rhode Island
Sound, RI, from April 1 to October 31,
2016. These safety zones are intended to
safeguard mariners from the hazards
associated with construction of the
BIWF. Vessels would be prohibited from
entering into, transiting through,
mooring, or anchoring within these
safety zones while construction vessels
and associated equipment are present at
any of the BIWF WTG sites, unless
authorized by the Captain of the Port
(COTP), Southeastern New England or
the COTP’s designated representative.
The original deadline to submit
comments was March 17, 2016. This
action extends the deadline for 30 days.
Written comments must now be
received by April 17, 2016.

On April
8, 2015, we published in the Federal
Register a proposal to establish a FIP for
the State of Arkansas addressing
regional haze and visibility transport (80
FR 18944). The proposed FIP includes
emission limits for sources in Arkansas.
Comments on the proposed rule were
required to be received by May 16, 2015.
On May 1, 2015, we extended the
comment period to July 15, 2015 (80 FR
24872). On July 23, 2015, we reopened
the comment period until August 7,
2015 (80 FR 43661), in response to a
request we received for an extension of
the comment period.
We are announcing the availability in
the docket of supplemental information
we relied on in our Arkansas FIP
proposal, but which was inadvertently
omitted from the docket at the time we
proposed the FIP. In our proposed rule
published on April 8, 2015, we
proposed revised RPGs for the 20%
worst days for Arkansas’ Class I areas,
the Caney Creek and Upper Buffalo
Wilderness Areas (80 FR at 18998). Our
revised RPGs and our methodology for
calculating the revised RPGs were
discussed in detail in our proposal and
in our technical support
documentation,1 which was made
available in the docket when the
proposed rule was published on April 8,
2015. However, a spreadsheet
containing the actual calculations of our
revised RPGs was inadvertently omitted
from the docket. Therefore, the
reopening of the comment period is
strictly limited to our calculations of the
revised RPGs, as presented in the
spreadsheet we are making available at
this time in the docket. The reopening
of the comment period does not apply
to our general methodology for
calculating the revised RPGs, to the
numerical values of the revised RPGs, or
to any other aspects or portions of our
proposed rule, for which we have
previously provided opportunity for
public comment. This action will allow
interested persons time to prepare and
submit comments on our calculations of
the revised RPGs, as presented in the

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
portions of the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the
Commonwealth of Kentucky, Energy
and Environment Cabinet, Department
for Environmental Protection, through
the Kentucky Division for Air Quality
(KDAQ), on April 26, 2013, to
demonstrate that the Commonwealth
meets the infrastructure requirements of
the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the
2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2)
national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS). The CAA requires that each
state adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance and
enforcement of each NAAQS
promulgated by EPA, which is
commonly referred to as an
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. KDAQ certified
that the Kentucky SIP contains
provisions that ensure the 2010 1-hour
SO2 NAAQS is implemented, enforced,
and maintained in Kentucky. EPA is
proposing to determine that Kentucky’s
infrastructure submission, submitted on
April 26, 2013, addresses certain
infrastructure elements for the 2010 1hour SO2 NAAQS.

In our proposed rule published on April 8, 2015, we proposed revised
