SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background and Purpose We published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register on February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10313), entitled ‘‘Anchorages; Captain of the Port Puget Sound Zone, WA.’’ In it we stated that this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. 82 FR 10314. We received letters from two tribes requesting additional time to comment and have concluded, notwithstanding the Coast Guard’s position that this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, that a formal government to government consultation would aid this rulemaking. The Coast Guard greatly values the government to government relationship it has with the tribes, and desires to continue a meaningful dialogue on shared interests. Therefore, we are publishing this notification so that the tribes can identify and communicate to the Coast Guard which treaty rights are impacted and how the Coast Guard should consider these rights in its rulemaking analysis. In the NPRM, we proposed the creation of several new anchorages, PO 00000 Frm 00001 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 holding areas, and a non-anchorage area as well as the expansion of one existing general anchorage in the Puget Sound area, as detailed in the proposed regulatory text. The proposed anchorages and areas have been used for many years informally, however, they are not included on nautical charts, referenced in the Coast Pilot, or subject to anchorage regulations. This rulemaking also proposes new and updated regulations governing anchorages and areas in the Puget Sound area, as detailed in the proposed regulatory text. The codification of these anchorages and areas, along with the new and updated regulations, would improve the safety of all Puget Sound waterway users by having the anchorages and areas included on nautical charts, referenced in the Coast Pilot, subject to appropriate regulations, and available to Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) Puget Sound whenever necessary to manage vessel traffic. You may view the NPRM in our online docket, in addition to supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard—e.g., environmental checklist, and comments submitted thus far, by going to https://www.regulations.gov. Once there, insert ‘‘USCG–2016–0916’’ in the ‘‘Keyword’’ box and click ‘‘Search.’’ We encourage all interested tribes to participate in this formal consultation by responding orally at the consultation or in writing. If you bring written comments to the formal consultation, you may submit them to Coast Guard personnel specified at the meeting to receive written comments. These comments will be submitted to our online public docket. All comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov and will include any personal information you have provided. Comments submitted after the meeting must reach the Coast Guard on or before August 9, 2017. We encourage you to submit comments through the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https:// www.regulations.gov.

Additionally, the EPA is proposing to conditionally approve Reasonable Further Progress (RFP), Quantitative Milestones (QMs), and revised MVEBs for the Idaho portion of the nonattainment area, based on Idaho’s commitment to adopt and submit updates to these attainment plan elements within one year of the effective date of our final action.

Statutory and Executive Orders Review I. Background On October 17, 2006, the EPA strengthened the 24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) by lowering the numerical level of the NAAQS to 35 mg/m3 (71 FR 61144). Following promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA is required by the CAA to promulgate designations for areas throughout the United States in accordance with section 107(d) of the CAA. On November 13, 2009, the EPA designated a portion of Franklin County, Idaho as part of the cross-boundary Logan UT-ID area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. This designation requires Idaho to prepare and submit an attainment plan for the Idaho portion of the nonattainment area meeting applicable statutory and regulatory requirements and providing for attainment of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS in the Logan UTID area (74 FR 58688). On December 14, 2012, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality (IDEQ) submitted an attainment plan SIP submission developed to address attainment planning requirements for the Idaho portion of the Logan UT-ID area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. On December 24, 2014, the IDEQ submitted a supplement to the 2012 SIP submission that included revised attainment demonstration modeling intended to show that the area would meet the December 31, 2015 attainment date specified in subpart 4, part D of title I of the CAA. The 2012 SIP submittal and 2014 amendment are hereinafter referred to as the Idaho attainment plan. In a proposed rulemaking published October 27, 2016, the EPA proposed a partial approval and partial disapproval of the Idaho attainment plan with regard to specific requirements for attainment plans for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Specifically, the EPA proposed to approve Idaho’s woodstove E:\FR\FM\01JNP1.SGM 01JNP1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background and Purpose

    We published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal 
Register on February 10, 2017 (82 FR 10313), entitled ``Anchorages; 
Captain of the Port Puget Sound Zone, WA.'' In it we stated that this 
proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 
13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, 
because it would not have a substantial direct effect on one or more 
Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and 
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. 82 FR 10314. We 
received letters from two tribes requesting additional time to comment 
and have concluded, notwithstanding the Coast Guard's position that 
this proposed rule does not have tribal implications under Executive 
Order 13175, that a formal government to government consultation would 
aid this rulemaking. The Coast Guard greatly values the government to 
government relationship it has with the tribes, and desires to continue 
a meaningful dialogue on shared interests. Therefore, we are publishing 
this notification so that the tribes can identify and communicate to 
the Coast Guard which treaty rights are impacted and how the Coast 
Guard should consider these rights in its rulemaking analysis.
    In the NPRM, we proposed the creation of several new anchorages, 
holding areas, and a non-anchorage area as well as the expansion of one 
existing general anchorage in the Puget Sound area, as detailed in the 
proposed regulatory text. The proposed anchorages and areas have been 
used for many years informally, however, they are not included on 
nautical charts, referenced in the Coast Pilot, or subject to anchorage 
regulations. This rulemaking also proposes new and updated regulations 
governing anchorages and areas in the Puget Sound area, as detailed in 
the proposed regulatory text. The codification of these anchorages and 
areas, along with the new and updated regulations, would improve the 
safety of all Puget Sound waterway users by having the anchorages and 
areas included on nautical charts, referenced in the Coast Pilot, 
subject to appropriate regulations, and available to Vessel Traffic 
Service (VTS) Puget Sound whenever necessary to manage vessel traffic.
    You may view the NPRM in our online docket, in addition to 
supporting documents prepared by the Coast Guard--e.g., environmental 
checklist, and comments submitted thus far, by going to https://www.regulations.gov. Once there, insert ``USCG-2016-0916'' in the 
``Keyword'' box and click ``Search.''
    We encourage all interested tribes to participate in this formal 
consultation by responding orally at the consultation or in writing. If 
you bring written comments to the formal consultation, you may submit 
them to Coast Guard personnel specified at the meeting to receive 
written comments. These comments will be submitted to our online public 
docket. All comments received will be posted without change to https://www.regulations.gov and will include any personal information you have 
provided.
    Comments submitted after the meeting must reach the Coast Guard on 
or before August 9, 2017. We encourage you to submit comments through 
the Federal eRulemaking Portal at https://www.regulations.gov. If your
