Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104–121), we want to assist small entities in understanding this proposed rule. If the rule would affect your small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, above. The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this proposed rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. amozie on DSK9F9SC42PROD with PROPOSALS C. Collection of Information This proposed rule would call for no new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520.). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Government A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132, Federalism, if it has a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. We have analyzed this proposed rule under that Order and have determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order 13132. Also, 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. If you believe this proposed rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary regulatory actions. In particular, the Act addresses actions VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Mar 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 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 proposed rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this proposed rule elsewhere in this preamble. F. Environment We have analyzed this proposed rule under Department of Homeland Security Management Directive 023–01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.lD, which guides the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have made a preliminary determination that this action is one of a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This proposed rule simply promulgates the operating regulations or procedures for drawbridges. Normally such actions are categorically excluded from further review, under figure 2–1, paragraph (32)(e), of the Instruction. A preliminary Record of Environmental Consideration and a Memorandum for the Record are not required for this proposed rule. We seek any comments or information that may lead to the discovery of a significant environmental impact from this proposed 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. V. Public Participation and Request for Comments We view public participation as essential to effective rulemaking, and will consider all comments and material received during the comment period. Your comment can help shape the outcome of this rulemaking.

Background and Analysis North Carolina has a SIP-approved construction and operating permit program at 15 North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02Q.0300—Construction and Operation VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:48 Mar 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 Permits.1 These regulations set forth the State’s process for issuing combined construction and operating permits. They do not apply to Title V permits issued by NCDAQ. See 15A NCAC 02Q.0301(a). On January 12, 2018, NCDAQ submitted a SIP revision to 15 NCAC 02Q.0308—Final Action on Permit Applications, which was state effective on January 1, 2015.2 The January 12, 2018, submittal requests minor typographical/administrative edits to 15 NCAC 02Q.0308. For example, the submittal fixes a grammar error in 15 NCAC 02Q.0308(b) by replacing the word ‘‘which’’ with the word ‘‘that’’ in the first sentence. In addition, the submittal changes the permit term (duration) for combined construction and operating permits from five years, or less as determined reasonable by the Director, to eight years. This permit term in Section .0308 affects only minor sources because sources subject to Title V (i.e., major sources) are subject to the separate operating permit term provisions of North Carolina’s Title V program. II. EPA’s Action In this action, EPA is proposing to approve changes to 02Q Section .0308, Final Action on Permit Applications, included in the January 12, 2018, submittal. EPA has preliminarily concluded that the minor typographical/ administrative edits are approvable because they do not alter the meaning of the rule, and that the revision to the permit term is approvable because it is not inconsistent with the Act, including the Agency’s preconstruction review requirements at 40 CFR 51.160–164. EPA notes that the revision merely changes the duration of the permit from five years to eight years and does not affect any emission limits or other permit conditions. Thus, EPA does not believe the revision will interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress, or any other applicable requirement of the Act. EPA is accordingly proposing to approve the changes included in the January 12, 2018, submittal. III. Incorporation by Reference In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with 1 In the table of North Carolina regulations federally approved into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.1770(c), 15A NCAC 02Q is referred to as ‘‘Subchapter 2Q—Air Quality Permits.’’ 2 EPA received this SIP revision on February 2, 2018. PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference under Subchapter 02Q, Air Quality Permits of the North Carolina SIP, Section .0308, titled Final Action of Permit Applications, state effective January 1, 2015, which revises the permit renewal period for non-title V permits to eight years, and makes other administrative/typographical edits. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). IV. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision submitted by the NCDAQ on January 12, 2018, consisting of changes to 15 NCAC 02Q.0308, state effective January 1, 2015. These changes modify the permit term for non-title V combined construction and operating permits and make other typographical/ administrative edits. V. 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. See 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 CAA. This action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed 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 (Pub. L. 104–4); E:\FR\FM\28MRP1.SGM 28MRP1 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2019 / Proposed Rules • 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). 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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

The Regional Haze Program Regional haze is visibility impairment that occurs over a wide geographic area primarily from the pollution of fine particles (PM2.5) emitted into the air.1 Fine particles causing haze consist of sulfates (SO42 ¥), nitrates (NO3¥), organics, elemental carbon (EC), and soil dust.2 Airborne PM2.5 can scatter 1 Fine particles are less than or equal to 2.5 microns (mm) in diameter and usually form secondary in nature indirectly from other sources. Particles less than or equal to 10 mm in diameter are referred to as PM10. Particles greater than PM2.5 but less than PM10 are referred to as coarse mass. Coarse mass can contribute to light extinction as well and is made up of primary particles directly emitted into the air. Fine particles tend to be manmade, while coarse particles tend to have a natural origin. Coarse mass settles out from the air more rapidly than fine particles and usually will be found relatively close to emission sources. Fine particles can be transported long distances by wind and can be found in the air thousands of miles from where they were formed. 2 Organic carbon (OC) can be emitted directly as particles or formed through reactions involving gaseous emissions. Elemental carbon, in contrast to organic carbon, is exclusively of primary origin and emitted by the incomplete combustion of carbonbased fuels. Elemental carbon particles are E:\FR\FM\28MRP1.SGM Continued 28MRP1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Analysis

    North Carolina has a SIP-approved construction and operating permit 
program at 15 North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02Q.0300--
Construction and Operation Permits.\1\ These regulations set forth the 
State's process for issuing combined construction and operating 
permits. They do not apply to Title V permits issued by NCDAQ. See 15A 
NCAC 02Q.0301(a).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In the table of North Carolina regulations federally 
approved into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.1770(c), 15A NCAC 02Q is referred 
to as ``Subchapter 2Q--Air Quality Permits.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On January 12, 2018, NCDAQ submitted a SIP revision to 15 NCAC 
02Q.0308--Final Action on Permit Applications, which was state 
effective on January 1, 2015.\2\ The January 12, 2018, submittal 
requests minor typographical/administrative edits to 15 NCAC 02Q.0308. 
For example, the submittal fixes a grammar error in 15 NCAC 02Q.0308(b) 
by replacing the word ``which'' with the word ``that'' in the first 
sentence. In addition, the submittal changes the permit term (duration) 
for combined construction and operating permits from five years, or 
less as determined reasonable by the Director, to eight years. This 
permit term in Section .0308 affects only minor sources because sources 
subject to Title V (i.e., major sources) are subject to the separate 
operating permit term provisions of North Carolina's Title V program.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ EPA received this SIP revision on February 2, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. EPA's Action

    In this action, EPA is proposing to approve changes to 02Q Section 
.0308, Final Action on Permit Applications, included in the January 12, 
2018, submittal. EPA has preliminarily concluded that the minor 
typographical/administrative edits are approvable because they do not 
alter the meaning of the rule, and that the revision to the permit term 
is approvable because it is not inconsistent with the Act, including 
the Agency's preconstruction review requirements at 40 CFR 51.160-164. 
EPA notes that the revision merely changes the duration of the permit 
from five years to eight years and does not affect any emission limits 
or other permit conditions. Thus, EPA does not believe the revision 
will interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment 
and reasonable further progress, or any other applicable requirement of 
the Act. EPA is accordingly proposing to approve the changes included 
in the January 12, 2018, submittal.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule 
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance 
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference under Subchapter 02Q, Air Quality Permits of the North 
Carolina SIP, Section .0308, titled Final Action of Permit 
Applications, state effective January 1, 2015, which revises the permit 
renewal period for non-title V permits to eight years, and makes other 
administrative/typographical edits. EPA has made, and will continue to 
make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov 
and at the EPA Region 4 office (please contact the person identified in 
the For Further Information Contact section of this preamble for more 
information).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision submitted by the NCDAQ 
on January 12, 2018, consisting of changes to 15 NCAC 02Q.0308, state 
effective January 1, 2015. These changes modify the permit term for 
non-title V combined construction and operating permits and make other 
typographical/administrative edits.

V. 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. See 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 CAA. This action merely 
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does 
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
For that reason, this proposed 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 (Pub. L. 104-4);

[[Page 11697]]

     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).
    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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct 
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
