Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 12, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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. 4321–4370(f), 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 that would prohibit entry to
unauthorized vessels. 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.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First
Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to
coordinate protest activities so that your
message can be received without
jeopardizing the safety or security of
people, places or vessels.

Organization of this document. The
following outline is provided to aid in
locating information in this preamble.
I. Background.
II. Final Action.
III. Incorporation by Reference.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.
I. Background
States are required to submit a
progress report in the form of a SIP
revision every five years that evaluates
progress towards the RPGs for each
mandatory Class I Federal area within
the state and in each mandatory Class I
Federal area outside the state which
E:\FR\FM\12OCR1.SGM
12OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 197 / Wednesday, October 12, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
may be affected by emissions from
within the state. See 40 CFR 51.308(g).
In addition, the provisions under 40
CFR 51.308(h) require States to submit,
at the same time as the 40 CFR 51.308(g)
progress report, a determination of the
adequacy of the state’s existing regional
haze SIP. The first progress report SIP
is due five years after submittal of the
initial regional haze SIP.
On July 19, 2016 (81 FR 46866), EPA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) proposing approval of
New Hampshire’s December 16, 2014
Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report
SIP revision on the basis that it satisfies
the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g)
and (h). The NPR also proposed to
approve, and incorporate into the New
Hampshire SIP, New Hampshire’s
revised section Env-A 2302.02 Emission
Standards Applicable to TangentialFiring, Dry Bottom Boilers which had
been revised to include more stringent
particulate matter emission limits.
The specific details of New
Hampshire’s December 16, 2014 SIP
revision and the rationale for EPA’s
approval are discussed in the NPR and
will not be restated here. No public
comments were received on the NPR.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving New Hampshire’s
December 16, 2014 Regional Haze 5Year Progress Report as meeting the
requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and
(h). In addition, EPA is approving, and
incorporating into the New Hampshire
SIP, New Hampshire’s revised section
Env-A 2302.02 Emission Standards
Applicable to Tangential-Firing, Dry
Bottom Boilers.

III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of New
Hampshire’s regulation described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:05 Oct 11, 2016
Jkt 241001
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Public Law 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action 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. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by December 12,
2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of
this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time
within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. This action may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of New
Hampshire on December 16, 2014. New Hampshire's SIP revision addresses
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and EPA's rules that require
States to submit periodic reports describing progress toward reasonable
progress goals (RPGs) established for regional haze and a determination
of the adequacy of the state's existing Regional Haze SIP. In addition,
the December 16, 2014 submittal includes a revised regulation that
reduces the total suspended particulate (TSP) emission limit for the
state's sole Tangential-Firing, Dry-Bottom Boiler.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

Organization of this document. The following outline is provided to
aid in locating information in this preamble.
I. Background.
II. Final Action.
III. Incorporation by Reference.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews.
I. Background
States are required to submit a progress report in the form of a
SIP revision every five years that evaluates progress towards the RPGs
for each mandatory Class I Federal area within the state and in each
mandatory Class I Federal area outside the state which
[[Page 70361]]
may be affected by emissions from within the state. See 40 CFR
51.308(g). In addition, the provisions under 40 CFR 51.308(h) require
States to submit, at the same time as the 40 CFR 51.308(g) progress
report, a determination of the adequacy of the state's existing
regional haze SIP. The first progress report SIP is due five years
after submittal of the initial regional haze SIP.
On July 19, 2016 (81 FR 46866), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) proposing approval of New Hampshire's December 16,
2014 Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report SIP revision on the basis
that it satisfies the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and (h). The NPR
also proposed to approve, and incorporate into the New Hampshire SIP,
New Hampshire's revised section Env-A 2302.02 Emission Standards
Applicable to Tangential-Firing, Dry Bottom Boilers which had been
revised to include more stringent particulate matter emission limits.
The specific details of New Hampshire's December 16, 2014 SIP
revision and the rationale for EPA's approval are discussed in the NPR
and will not be restated here. No public comments were received on the
NPR.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving New Hampshire's December 16, 2014 Regional Haze 5-
Year Progress Report as meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g)
and (h). In addition, EPA is approving, and incorporating into the New
Hampshire SIP, New Hampshire's revised section Env-A 2302.02 Emission
Standards Applicable to Tangential-Firing, Dry Bottom Boilers.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of New
Hampshire's regulation described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52
set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action 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. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 12, 2016. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
