Download as PDF 85950 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 29, 2016 / Notices Procedural Requirements Environmental Compliance In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq., the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementing NEPA, 40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508, and the Integrated DOE NEPA Implementing Procedures, 10 CFR part 1021, WAPA has determined this action is categorically excluded from the preparation of an environmental assessment or an EIS. Determination Under Executive Order 12866 WAPA has an exemption from centralized regulatory review under Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no clearance of this notice by the Office of Management and Budget is required. Regulatory Flexibility Analysis The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980 (RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., requires a Federal agency to perform a regulatory flexibility analysis whenever the agency is required by law to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for any proposed rule, unless the agency can certify that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. In defining the term ‘‘rule,’’ the RFA specifies that a ‘‘rule’’ does not include ‘‘a rule of particular applicability relating to rates [and] services . . . or to valuations, costs or accounting, or practices relating to such rates [and] services . . . .’’ 5 U.S.C. 601. WAPA has determined that this action relates to rates or services offered by WAPA and, therefore, is not a rule within the purview of the RFA. Dated: November 18, 2016. Mark A.

SUMMARY: Jkt 241001 The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to review and, as appropriate, the authority to object to operating permits proposed by state permitting authorities under title V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 CFR 70.8(d) authorize any person to petition the EPA Administrator to object to a title V operating permit within 60 days after the expiration of EPA’s 45day review period if EPA has not objected on its own initiative. Petitions must be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period provided by the state, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise these issues during the comment period or the grounds for the issues arose after this period. Petitioners submitted a petition regarding the aforementioned TVA Bull Run facility, requesting that EPA object to the CAA title V operating permit (#01–0009/567519). Petitioners alleged that the permit was not consistent with the CAA because it lacks sufficient monitoring to assure compliance with the opacity limit established pursuant to Tennessee Comprehensive Rules & Regulations 1200–03–05–.01. On November 10, 2016, the Administrator issued an Order granting the petition. The Order explains EPA’s rationale for granting the petition.

70.8(d) authorize any person to petition the EPA Administrator to 
object to a title V operating permit within 60 days after the
