(a) What are sources required to do to address threatened or endangered species and historic properties? An owner/operator subject to the requirements contained in §§ 49.101 through 49.105 to satisfy its obligation under § 49.151(c)(1)(iii)(B) to obtain a minor NSR permit shall meet either paragraph (a)(1) or (2) of this section, as appropriate. (1) * * * (2) Screening procedures completed by the owner/operator. The owner/ operator shall submit to the EPA Regional Office (and to the relevant tribe for the area where the source is located/ locating) documentation demonstrating that it has completed the required screening procedures specified for consideration of threatened or endangered species and historic properties and received written confirmation from the EPA stating that the owner/operator has satisfactorily completed these procedures prior to beginning construction of a new true minor source or minor modification of a true minor source. The completed screening procedures may be submitted together with the source’s Part 1 Registration Form pursuant to § 49.160(c)(1)(iv). (The procedures are contained in the following document: ‘‘Procedures to Address Threatened and Endangered Species and Historic Properties for the Federal Implementation Plan for Managing Air Emissions from True Minor Sources in Indian Country in the Oil and Natural Gas Production and Natural Gas Processing Segments of the Oil and Natural Gas Sector,’’ https:// www.epa.gov/tribal-air/tribal-minornew-source-review). Review of your submittal will be conducted by the EPA Regional Office in accordance with the procedure in paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and (ii) of this section: (i) Within 30 days of receipt of your documentation, by written notification to you, the EPA Regional Office must provide one of the following determinations: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:25 Jul 12, 2019 Jkt 247001 (A) * * * (B) The documentation is not adequate, and additional information is needed. If the initial submittal is deficient, the EPA Regional Office will note any such deficiencies and may offer further direction on completing the screening procedures. Once you have addressed the noted deficiencies, you must resubmit your revised screening procedure documentation for review. An additional 15-day review notification period will be used for the EPA Regional Office to determine whether the listed species and/or historic property screening procedures have been satisfied. If the EPA Regional Office makes such a determination, they will send you written notification stating that conclusion. (ii) You must obtain written notification from the EPA Regional Office indicating that the source has adequately completed the screening procedures. The EPA Regional Office may send written notification by mail, email, or any other written means of notification. You may not begin construction under this FIP until the following two conditions are met: (1) At least 30 days has passed from the date the Part 1 Registration Form was submitted, and (2) the EPA Regional Office has provided this notification. * * * * * ■ 3. Amend § 49.160 by revising paragraph (c)(1)(iv) to read as follows: § 49.160 Federal Minor New Source Review in Indian Country. * * * * * (c) * * * (1) * * * (iv) Minor sources complying with §§ 49.101 through 49.105 for the oil and natural gas production and natural gas processing segments of the oil and natural gas sector, as defined in § 49.102, must submit the Part 1 Registration Form, at least 30 days prior to beginning construction, that contains the information in paragraph (c)(2) of this section. The Part 2 Registration Form, including emissions information, must be submitted within 60 days after the startup of production as defined in § 49.152(d). The source must determine the potential for emissions within 30 days after startup of production. The combination of the Part 1 and Part 2 Registration Forms submittals satisfies the requirements in paragraph (c)(2) of this section.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: This proposed rule would remove the regulatory text that sets forth the current required process for states to document whether Medicaid payments in fee-for-service systems are sufficient to enlist enough providers to assure beneficiary access to covered care and services consistent with the Medicaid statute. States have raised concerns over the administrative burden associated with the current regulatory requirements. While we believe the process described in the current SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00013 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 regulatory text is a valuable tool for states to use to demonstrate the sufficiency of provider payment rates, we believe mandating states to collect the specific information as described excessively constrains state freedom to administer the program in the manner that is best for the state and Medicaid beneficiaries in the state.
