management services project. Such
entities include, but are not limited to,
shelters, transitional housing, Public
Housing Authorities, health care or
social service providers, providers
funded through Federal initiatives, local
planning coalitions or provider
associations, or other program providers
relevant to the needs of formerly
homeless veterans in the local
community. Applicants are required to
demonstrate that they have coordinated
with the VA medical facility of
jurisdiction or VA regional office of
jurisdiction in their area. VA will award
up to 50 points of the 200 points based
on the extent to which commitments to
provide supportive services are
documented at the time of application.
Up to 150 points of the 200 points will
be given to the extent applicants
demonstrate that:
(1) They are part of an ongoing
community-wide planning process
within the framework described in this
section, which is designed to share
information on available resources and
reduce duplication among programs that
serve homeless veterans (e.g.
Continuum of Care);
(2) They have consulted directly with
the closest VA medical facility and
other providers within the framework
described in this section regarding
coordination of services for project
participants; and
(3) They have coordinated with the
closest VA medical facility their plan to
assure access to health care, case
management, and other care services.

§ 61.94 Grant for case management
services—selection of grantees.
(a) Award priority. Grants for case
management services will be awarded in
order of priority as follows:
(1) VA will give extra priority to
grants for case management services to
applications from operational Grant and
Per Diem funded organizations that
have given up per diem or special need
funding and converted their transitional
housing to permanent housing. In order
to obtain this extra priority,
organizations must provide
documentation showing that their
permanent housing meets the quality
housing standards established under
section 8(o)(8)(B) of the United States
Housing Act of 1937 (42 U.S.C.
1437f(o)(8)(B)).
(2) VA will give priority to
applications from organizations that
demonstrate a capability to provide case
management services, particularly
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
organizations that are successfully
providing or have successfully provided
transitional housing services using
grants provided by VA under 38 U.S.C.
2012 and 2061.
(3) Applications from other
organizations without a Grant and Per
Diem grant that seek to provide time
limited case management to formerly
homeless veterans who have exited VA
transitional housing or other VA
homeless residential treatment services
to permanent housing.
(b) Higher award priority. Within each
of the three priorities in paragraph (a) of
this section, an application with more
points using the rating criteria in
§ 61.92(b) will be given a higher priority
for a grant award.
§ 61.96 Grant for case management
services—awards.
(a) Funding. Grants for case
management services will be offered
from the current Grant and Per Diem
Program budget and will be limited
annually by VA’s funding availability
and commitments to existing programs.
(b) Use of grant funds for
administrative costs. Grant funds may
be used for the following administrative
purposes
(1) Case management staff;
(2) Transportation for the case
manager;
(3) Cell phones and computers to
facilitate home visits and other case
management activities associated with
the grant; and
(4) Office furniture for the use of the
case management staff.
(c) Awards. VA will execute an
agreement and make payments to the
grantee in accordance with the award
and funding actions applicable to the
Grant and Per Diem Program as
described in § 61.61.
§ 61.98 Grant for case management
services—requirements and oversight.
VA will oversee grants for case
management services to ensure that
each grantee operates its program in
accordance with §§ 61.90 through 61.98.
VA’s oversight responsibilities include
reviewing and responding to requests
from grantees for extensions to the
otherwise applicable maximum 6-month
time limit. Grantees must also comply
with the requirements of 38 CFR 61.65;
61.67(d) and 61.67(e); and 61.80(c), (g),
(h), (i), (n), (o), (p), and (q). VA may
disapprove of case management services
provided by the grantee if VA
determines that they are of unacceptable
quality in which case grant funds may
not be used to pay for them.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA.
SUMMARY:
I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our March 22,
2018 proposal (83 FR 12522). In that
document we proposed to approve the
December 1, 2015 i-SIP submittal from
Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality (TCEQ) pertaining to the
implementation, maintenance and
enforcement of the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS
in Texas and three of the four of the
interstate transport requirements.
E:\FR\FM\05JNR1.SGM
05JNR1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 108 / Tuesday, June 5, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
We received two comments in
support of our proposal, one from the
TCEQ and one that was anonymously
submitted. We also received seventeen
comments that are not relevant to the
action we proposed. All comments can
be found in the docket for this action.
•
II. Response to Comments
•
Comment: TCEQ commented that
while they are in support of our
proposed approval that Texas meets its
infrastructure and transport obligation
for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, they believe
that Texas is meeting all four subelement requirements of Section
110(a)(2)(D)(i). TCEQ noted that EPA
did not provide an explanation as to
why no action was taken on the
interference with visibility provision for
CAA Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II).
Response: We acknowledge TCEQ’s
support of our proposed action. We note
that we did not propose to take any
action on the portion of the SIP
submittal that was submitted to address
the interference with visibility provision
found in CAA Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II),
therefore the comment related to this
provision is outside the scope of this
action. EPA believes the visibility
transport provision is closely related to
the Act’s Regional Haze requirements
and therefore, intends to address this
provision separately in a future action.
•
•
•
•
•
•
II. Final Action
We are finalizing this rule as
proposed, therefore approving the
portions of the December 1, 2015 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS i-SIP submittal pertaining
to implementation, maintenance and
enforcement including transport except
for sub-element four pertaining to
interference with visibility protection in
other states.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, 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, the
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:50 Jun 04, 2018
Jkt 244001
•
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR
3821, January 21, 2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted under Executive Order
12866;
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 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, 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
PO 00000

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 August 6, 2018.
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).)

Air Plan Approval; New Hampshire;
Nonattainment Plan for the Central

Nonattainment Area
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision that
the State of New Hampshire submitted
to EPA on January 31, 2017, for
attaining the 1-hour sulfur dioxide (SO2)
primary national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) for the Central New
Hampshire Nonattainment Area. This
plan (herein called a ‘‘nonattainment
plan’’) includes New Hampshire’s
attainment demonstration and other
elements required under the Clean Air
Act (CAA). In addition to an attainment
demonstration, the nonattainment plan
addresses the requirements for meeting
reasonable further progress (RFP)
toward attainment of the NAAQS,
implementation of reasonably available
control measures and reasonably
available control technology (RACM/
RACT), base-year and projection-year
emission inventories, enforceable
emissions limitations and control
measures, and contingency measures.
EPA concludes that New Hampshire has
appropriately demonstrated that the
nonattainment plan provisions provide
for attainment of the 2010 1-hour
primary SO2 NAAQS in the Central New
Hampshire Nonattainment Area by the
applicable attainment date and that the
nonattainment plan meets the other
applicable requirements under the CAA.

I. Background and Purpose
On June 22, 2010, EPA promulgated a
new 1-hour primary SO2 NAAQS of 75
parts per billion (ppb), which is met at
an ambient air quality monitoring site
when the 3-year average of the annual
99th percentile of daily maximum 1hour concentrations does not exceed 75
ppb, as determined in accordance with
appendix T of 40 CFR part 50. See 75
FR 35520, codified at 40 CFR 50.17(a)
and (b). On August 5, 2013, EPA
designated a first set of 29 areas of the
country as nonattainment for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS, including the Central New
Hampshire Nonattainment Area within
the State of New Hampshire. See 78 FR
47191, codified at 40 CFR part 81,
subpart C. These ‘‘round one’’ area
designations were effective October 4,
2013. Section 191(a) of the CAA directs
states to submit SIPs for areas
designated as nonattainment for the SO2
NAAQS to EPA within 18 months of the
effective date of the designation, i.e., by
no later than April 4, 2015 in this case.
These SIPs are required to demonstrate
that their respective areas will attain the
NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable,
but no later than 5 years from the
effective date of designation, which is
October 4, 2018, in accordance with
CAA sections 191–192.
Section 192(a) requires that such
plans shall provide for NAAQS
attainment as expeditiously as
practicable, but no later than 5 years
from the effective date of the
nonattainment designation. Section
172(c) of part D of the CAA lists the
required components of a
nonattainment plan submittal. The base
year emissions inventory (section
172(c)(3)) is required to show a
‘‘comprehensive, accurate, current
inventory’’ of all relevant pollutants in
the nonattainment area. The
nonattainment plan must identify and
quantify any expected emissions from
the construction of new sources to
account for emissions in the area that
might affect reasonable further progress
(RFP) toward attainment, or that might
interfere with attainment and

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving elements of the
Texas Infrastructure State Implementation Plan (i-SIP) submittal
addressing how the existing SIP provides for implementation,
maintenance and enforcement of the 2012 fine particulate matter

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our March
22, 2018 proposal (83 FR 12522). In that document we proposed to
approve the December 1, 2015 i-SIP submittal from Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) pertaining to the implementation,
maintenance and enforcement of the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS in Texas
and three of the four of the interstate transport requirements.
[[Page 25921]]
We received two comments in support of our proposal, one from the
TCEQ and one that was anonymously submitted. We also received seventeen
comments that are not relevant to the action we proposed. All comments
can be found in the docket for this action.
II. Response to Comments
Comment: TCEQ commented that while they are in support of our
proposed approval that Texas meets its infrastructure and transport
obligation for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, they believe that Texas
is meeting all four sub-element requirements of Section
110(a)(2)(D)(i). TCEQ noted that EPA did not provide an explanation as
to why no action was taken on the interference with visibility
provision for CAA Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II).
Response: We acknowledge TCEQ's support of our proposed action. We
note that we did not propose to take any action on the portion of the
SIP submittal that was submitted to address the interference with
visibility provision found in CAA Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II),
therefore the comment related to this provision is outside the scope of
this action. EPA believes the visibility transport provision is closely
related to the Act's Regional Haze requirements and therefore, intends
to address this provision separately in a future action.
II. Final Action
We are finalizing this rule as proposed, therefore approving the
portions of the December 1, 2015 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS i-SIP
submittal pertaining to implementation, maintenance and enforcement
including transport except for sub-element four pertaining to
interference with visibility protection in other states.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, 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, the 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 Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 2017)
regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under Executive
Order 12866;
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 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, 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 August 6, 2018. 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).)
