E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety
zone lasting less than 20 days that will
prohibit entry in all navigable waters of
the Bayou Teche from Jeanerette, LA to
Linwood, LA. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

1. The authority citation for part 165
continues to read as follows:
■
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such expenditure, we
do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 65 / Tuesday, April 5, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
I. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public
in general. This action may, however, be
of interest to those persons who are
concerned about OMB approval for
information collections required by EPA
regulations. Since other entities may
also be interested, the Agency has not
attempted to describe all the specific
entities that may be affected by this
action.
This action only amends the table at 40
CFR 9.1 to update the list of OMB
control numbers listed there. Due to the
technical nature of the table, EPA finds
that further notice and comment about
amending the table is unnecessary. As a
result, EPA finds that there is ‘‘good
cause’’ under section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)), to amend this table
without further notice and comment.
II. Background
C. What specific changes are being
made?
On January 8, 2016, OMB approved
the consolidation of three existing,
approved OMB control numbers into a
single, new OMB control number.
Specifically, OMB control numbers
2070–0155, 2070–0158, and 2070–0181
were consolidated into a single
information collection approved under
OMB control number 2070–0195. This
consolidated OMB control number
covers the information collection
activities imposed on entities
conducting lead-based paint related
activities. The previous OMB control
numbers for these information
collection activities will be
discontinued.
Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
A. Why is this technical amendment
being issued?
This document updates the OMB
control numbers listed in 40 CFR part 9
for various regulations promulgated
under the Toxic Substances Control Act
(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601), the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide
Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136), and the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act
(FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 408). Under PRA
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may
not conduct or sponsor, and a person is
not required to respond to an
information collection request unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. The OMB control numbers for
EPA’s regulations are codified in title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
preamble of the final rule. These
numbers are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
displayed in a subsequent publication
in the Federal Register, or displayed by
other appropriate means, such as on a
related collection instrument or form, or
as part of the instructions to
respondents. The display of OMB
control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9. In addition to displaying the
applicable OMB control number in the
final rule and on the applicable
collection instruments, the Office of
Chemical Safety and Pollution
Prevention (OCSPP) has also typically
listed the OMB control number in the
table at 40 CFR 9.1 for regulations it has
issued under TSCA, FIFRA, and
FFDCA. With this technical
amendment, OCSPP is updating the
table in 40 CFR 9.1 to list the new OMB
control number that replaces the two
OMB control numbers that have been
consolidated under the new OMB
control number.
B. Why is this technical amendment
issued as a final rule?
The information collection activities
referenced in this document were
previously subject to public notice and
comment as part of the rulemaking
process, and this action does not in any
way affect the referenced information
collection activities or rulemakings.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action implements technical
amendments to 40 CFR part 9 to reflect
changes to OMB approvals under PRA.
It does not otherwise impose or amend
any requirements. As such, this action
does not require review by OMB under
Executive Order 12866, entitled
‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’ (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.), or Executive Order 13045,
entitled ‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997).
Nor does it impose any enforceable
duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or
impose any significant or unique impact
on small governments as described in
the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
This action will not have substantial
direct effects on State or tribal
governments, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
States or Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and States or Indian tribes.
As such, it will not have any
‘‘federalism implications’’ as described
by Executive Order 13132, entitled
‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999) or ‘‘tribal implications’’ as
described by Executive Order 13175,
entitled ‘‘Consultation and Coordination
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
19491
with Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). Nor does it
involve any technical standards that
would require Agency consideration of
voluntary consensus standards pursuant
to section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (15 U.S.C. 272 note), environmental
justice-related issues that would require
consideration under Executive Order
12898, entitled ‘‘Federal Actions to
Address Environmental Justice in
Minority Populations and Low-Income
Populations’’ (59 FR 7629, February 16,
1994), or otherwise involve anything
that would have any adverse effect on
the supply, distribution, or use of
energy that would require consideration
under Executive Order 13211, entitled
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations that
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001).
In addition, since this action is not
subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the APA or any
other statute, it is not subject to the
regulatory flexibility provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601
et seq.).
IV. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., EPA will
submit a report containing this rule and
other required information to the U.S.
Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to
publication of the rule in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ‘‘major
rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

I. Proposed Action

III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Proposed Action
On January 15, 2016 (81 FR 2140), the
EPA proposed, under section 110(k)(3)
of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ‘‘Act’’), to
approve a revision to the California state
implementation plan (SIP) submitted by
the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) on December 20, 2013. The SIP
submittal consists of the San Joaquin
Valley’s ‘‘2013 Plan for the Revoked 1Hour Ozone Standard’’ (‘‘2013 Ozone
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
Plan’’) and related documentation.1
More specifically, we proposed to
approve all of the elements contained in
the 2013 Ozone Plan, with the exception
of the attainment contingency
provisions for which the EPA is
deferring action, based on the
documentation contained in or
submitted with the plan itself and
supplemental documentation provided
by CARB on June 19, 2014 related to the
vehicle-miles-traveled (VMT) emissions
offset requirement in CAA section
182(d)(1)(A).
As explained in more detail in our
proposed rule, the 2013 Ozone Plan was
prepared by the San Joaquin Valley
Unified Air Pollution Control District
(SJVUACPD or ‘‘District’’) and CARB in
response to the EPA’s regulatory
responses to two specific court
decisions issued by the Ninth Circuit
Court of Appeals (‘‘Ninth Circuit’’),2 one
of which remanded to the EPA the
approval of the previous San Joaquin
Valley 1-hour ozone plan. Although the
1-hour ozone national ambient air
quality standard has been revoked,
certain SIP requirements that had
applied to 1-hour ozone nonattainment
areas, such as the San Joaquin Valley, at
the time of revocation continue to apply
under ‘‘anti-backsliding’’ regulations
that the EPA promulgated to govern the
transition from the 1-hour ozone
standard to the 8-hour ozone standard.
In our proposed rule, we also
discussed the implications on our action
on the 2013 Ozone Plan of a third Ninth
Circuit decision, Committee for a Better
Arvin v. EPA, 786 F.3d 1169 (9th Cir.
2015)(‘‘Committee for a Better Arvin’’),
and indicated that, in response to the
decision in Committee for a Better
Arvin, the EPA had proposed in a
separate rulemaking (i.e., 80 FR 69915
(November 12, 2015)) to approve (as a
revision to the California SIP) a number
of CARB mobile source regulations for
which the EPA has issued waivers or
authorizations under CAA section 209
(referred to herein as ‘‘waiver
measures.’’) See our January 15, 2016
proposed rule at 81 FR 2141–2144.
1 Ground-level ozone is formed when oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic compounds
(VOC) react in the presence of sunlight. The 1-hour
ozone national ambient air quality standard is 0.12
parts per million (ppm) averaged over a 1-hour
period (‘‘1-hour ozone standard’’). See 40 CFR 50.9.
2 The two cases are Sierra Club v. EPA, 671 F.3d
955 (9th Cir. 2012)(Remand of the EPA’s approval
of previous San Joaquin Valley 1-hour ozone
plan)(‘‘Sierra Club’’); and Association of Irritated
Residents v. EPA, 632 F.3d. 584, at 596–597 (9th
Cir. 2011), reprinted as amended on January 27,
2012, 686 F.3d 668, further amended February 13,
2012 (Remand of the EPA’s approval of the state’s
VMT emissions offset demonstration for the South
Coast)(‘‘Association of Irritated Residents’’).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 19491]]
I. Does this action apply to me?
This action is directed to the public in general. This action may,
however, be of interest to those persons who are concerned about OMB
approval for information collections required by EPA regulations. Since
other entities may also be interested, the Agency has not attempted to
describe all the specific entities that may be affected by this action.
II. Background
A. Why is this technical amendment being issued?
This document updates the OMB control numbers listed in 40 CFR part
9 for various regulations promulgated under the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2601), the Federal Insecticide,
Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136), and the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 408). Under PRA (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a
person is not required to respond to an information collection request
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB
control numbers for EPA's regulations are codified in title 40 of the
CFR, after appearing in the preamble of the final rule. These numbers
are listed in 40 CFR part 9, displayed in a subsequent publication in
the Federal Register, or displayed by other appropriate means, such as
on a related collection instrument or form, or as part of the
instructions to respondents. The display of OMB control numbers in
certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. In addition
to displaying the applicable OMB control number in the final rule and
on the applicable collection instruments, the Office of Chemical Safety
and Pollution Prevention (OCSPP) has also typically listed the OMB
control number in the table at 40 CFR 9.1 for regulations it has issued
under TSCA, FIFRA, and FFDCA. With this technical amendment, OCSPP is
updating the table in 40 CFR 9.1 to list the new OMB control number
that replaces the two OMB control numbers that have been consolidated
under the new OMB control number.
B. Why is this technical amendment issued as a final rule?
The information collection activities referenced in this document
were previously subject to public notice and comment as part of the
rulemaking process, and this action does not in any way affect the
referenced information collection activities or rulemakings. This
action only amends the table at 40 CFR 9.1 to update the list of OMB
control numbers listed there. Due to the technical nature of the table,
EPA finds that further notice and comment about amending the table is
unnecessary. As a result, EPA finds that there is ``good cause'' under
section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B)), to amend this table without further notice and
comment.
C. What specific changes are being made?
On January 8, 2016, OMB approved the consolidation of three
existing, approved OMB control numbers into a single, new OMB control
number. Specifically, OMB control numbers 2070-0155, 2070-0158, and
2070-0181 were consolidated into a single information collection
approved under OMB control number 2070-0195. This consolidated OMB
control number covers the information collection activities imposed on
entities conducting lead-based paint related activities. The previous
OMB control numbers for these information collection activities will be
discontinued.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
This action implements technical amendments to 40 CFR part 9 to
reflect changes to OMB approvals under PRA. It does not otherwise
impose or amend any requirements. As such, this action does not require
review by OMB under Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory
Planning and Review'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), or Executive Order 13045,
entitled ``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and
Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997). Nor does it impose any
enforceable duty, contain any unfunded mandate, or impose any
significant or unique impact on small governments as described in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) (2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.).
This action will not have substantial direct effects on State or
tribal governments, on the relationship between the Federal Government
and States or Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and States or Indian
tribes. As such, it will not have any ``federalism implications'' as
described by Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR
43255, August 10, 1999) or ``tribal implications'' as described by
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Nor does
it involve any technical standards that would require Agency
consideration of voluntary consensus standards pursuant to section
12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (15
U.S.C. 272 note), environmental justice-related issues that would
require consideration under Executive Order 12898, entitled ``Federal
Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations'' (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994), or otherwise
involve anything that would have any adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy that would require consideration under
Executive Order 13211, entitled ``Actions Concerning Regulations that
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001).
In addition, since this action is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the APA or any other statute, it is not subject to
the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
IV. Congressional Review Act
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., EPA
will submit a report containing this rule and other required
information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of
the rule in the Federal Register. This action is not a ``major rule''
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
