Notice of deviation from
drawbridge regulation.
AGENCY:
ACTION:
The Coast Guard has issued a
temporary deviation from the operating
schedule that governs the operation of
the Hillsborough Bridge across the
Hillsborough River, Tampa, Florida.
This deviation is necessary to allow the
bridge owner, Florida Department of
Transportation to repair the
Hillsborough Bridge. Due to the type of
repairs this bridge will be required to
remain closed to navigation until all
components can be removed and
replaced.
DATES: This deviation is effective from
7 a.m. on May 10, 2017, until 7 p.m. on
June 21, 2017.

Department of Transportation advised
‘‘the work is not an emergency but is
needed now as the original
counterweight cables from 1939 are at
the end of their service life. It is not
possible to remove the counterweight
cables and keep the bridge in operation
at the same time’’; the Coast Guard has
taken this into consideration prior to
allowing this closure. This temporary
deviation will impact navigation since
no vessel with a height greater than 10
feet will be able to pass during this
closure period. Not allowing the
necessary bridge repairs will also have
an impact to navigation. The current
operating regulation is under 33 CFR
117.291.
Vessels able to pass through the
bridge in the closed position may do so
at any time The bridge will not be able
to open for emergencies and there is no
immediate alternate route for vessels to
pass through the bridge in closed
positions. The Coast Guard will also
inform the users of the waterways
through Local and Broadcast Notices to
Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessel
operators can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the
temporary deviation.
In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e),
the drawbridge must return to its regular
operating schedule immediately at the
end of the effective period of this
temporary deviation. This deviation
from the operating regulations is
authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

ACTION:
Final rule.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a revised
section 111(d)/129 plan submitted by
the State of Maryland for existing
hospital/medical/infectious waste
incineration (HMIWI) units. The section
111(d)/129 plan contains revisions to a
previously-approved State plan for
existing HMIWI units that was
submitted as a result of the October 6,
2009 promulgation of federal new
source performance standards (NSPS)
and emission guidelines for HMIWI
units, which were subsequently
amended on April 4, 2011. This action
is being taken under sections 111(d) and
129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This final rule is effective on
May 30, 2017.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA–R03–OAR–2016–0053. All

On November 28, 2016 (81 FR 85457),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Maryland. In the NPR, EPA proposed
approval of Maryland’s revised CAA
section 111(d)/129 State plan for
existing HMIWI units. The formal State
plan revision (MD Submittal #12–11)
was submitted by Maryland on January
10, 2013.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
EPA has reviewed the revised
Maryland section 111(d)/129 plan
submittal in the context of the
E:\FR\FM\28APR1.SGM
28APR1
19614
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 81 / Friday, April 28, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
requirements of 40 CFR part 60,
subparts B, Ec and Ce, and part 62,
subpart A. EPA has determined that the
submitted revised section 111(d)/129
plan meets the above-cited requirements
for State plans for existing units covered
by the emission guidelines for that
source category. Thus, EPA is approving
Maryland’s State plan in this action. A
detailed explanation of the rationale
behind this approval is available in the
July 22, 2016 technical support
document (TSD) and in the NPR and
will not be restated here. No comments
were received on the proposed rule.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the revised
Maryland section 111(d)/129 plan for
HMIWI units submitted pursuant to 40
CFR part 60, subpart Ce because the
plan is at least as stringent as
requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subpart
Ce for existing HMIWI units. Therefore,
EPA is amending 40 CFR part 62,
subpart V to reflect this approval action.
The scope of the approval of the section
111(d)/129 plan is limited to the
provisions of 40 CFR parts 60 and 62 for
existing HMIWI units, as referenced in
the emission guidelines at 40 CFR part
60, subpart Ce.
As discussed in the NPR, the EPA
Administrator continues to retain
authority for several tasks affecting the
regulation of HMIWI units, as stipulated
in 40 CFR 60.32e(k) and 60.50c(i). This
retention of authority includes the
granting of waivers for performance
tests.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
In reviewing section 111(d)/129 plan
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the CAA. 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• 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

Jkt 241001
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 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 CAA; 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, this final rule for existing
HMIWI units within the State of
Maryland does not have tribal
implications as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), because the section 111(d)/129
plan is not approved to apply in Indian
country located in the State, and EPA
notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by June 27, 2017. Filing a

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations implemented under the
authority of the Atlantic Tunas
Convention Act (ATCA; 16 U.S.C. 971 et
seq.) and the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act; 16 U.S.C. 1801
et seq.) governing the harvest of BFT by
persons and vessels subject to U.S.
jurisdiction are found at 50 CFR part
635. Section 635.27 subdivides the U.S.
BFT quota recommended by the
International Commission for the
Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
among the various domestic fishing
categories, per the allocations
established in the 2006 Consolidated
Highly Migratory Species Fishery
Management Plan (2006 Consolidated
HMS FMP) (71 FR 58058, October 2,
2006) and amendments, and in
accordance with implementing
regulations. NMFS is required under
ATCA and the Magnuson-Stevens Act to
provide U.S. fishing vessels with a
reasonable opportunity to harvest the
ICCAT-recommended quota.
As a method for limiting fishing
mortality on juvenile BFT, ICCAT
recommends a tolerance limit on the
annual harvest of BFT measuring less
than 115 cm (straight fork length) to no
more than 10 percent by weight of a
Contracting Party’s total BFT quota. Any
overharvest of such tolerance limit from
one year must be subtracted from the
tolerance limit applicable in the next
year or the year after that. The United
States implements this provision by
limiting the harvest of school BFT
(measuring 27 to less than 47 inches) as
appropriate to not exceed the 10-percent
limit.
The currently codified baseline U.S.
quota is 1,058.9 mt (not including the 25
mt ICCAT allocated to the United States
to account for bycatch of BFT in pelagic
longline fisheries in the Northeast
Distant Gear Restricted Area). See
§ 635.27(a). The currently codified
Angling category quota is 195.2 mt
(108.4 mt for school BFT, 82.3 mt for
large school/small medium BFT, and 4.5
mt for large medium/giant BFT).

proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maryland. In the NPR, EPA
proposed approval of Maryland's revised CAA section 111(d)/129 State
plan for existing HMIWI units. The formal State plan revision (MD
Submittal #12-11) was submitted by Maryland on January 10, 2013.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
EPA has reviewed the revised Maryland section 111(d)/129 plan
submittal in the context of the
[[Page 19614]]
requirements of 40 CFR part 60, subparts B, Ec and Ce, and part 62,
subpart A. EPA has determined that the submitted revised section
111(d)/129 plan meets the above-cited requirements for State plans for
existing units covered by the emission guidelines for that source
category. Thus, EPA is approving Maryland's State plan in this action.
A detailed explanation of the rationale behind this approval is
available in the July 22, 2016 technical support document (TSD) and in

proposed rule.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the revised Maryland section 111(d)/129 plan for
HMIWI units submitted pursuant to 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce because
the plan is at least as stringent as requirements in 40 CFR part 60,

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 (Pub. L. 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 CAA; 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, this final rule for existing HMIWI units within the
State of Maryland does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
section 111(d)/129 plan is not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 27, 2017. 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 approving Maryland's CAA Section 111(d)/129 state
plan for existing HMIWI units may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
