The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and rates each agency’s responsiveness to small business.

The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or action of the Coast Guard. C. Collection of Information This rule will not call for a new collection of information under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501–3520). D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments 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 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 rule does not have tribal implications under Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments, because it does 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 rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes, please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section above. jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES 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 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 rule will not result in such an expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this preamble. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:22 Aug 12, 2019 Jkt 247001 F. Environment We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security Directive 023–01 and Environmental Planning COMDTINST 5090.1 (series), which guide the Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have determined that this action is one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule involves a safety zone lasting only 45 minutes that will prohibit entry within 250 foot radius of where the fireworks display will be conducted. It is categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L[60](a) in Table 3–1 of U.S. Coast Guard Environmental Planning Implementing Procedures 5090.1. A Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES. G.

The revisions remove 30 TAC 114, Subchapter B (the Motor Vehicle Antitampering Requirements) in its entirety; and 30 TAC 114, Section 114.86 (the LIRAP for Participating Early Action Compact (EAC) Counties) from the SIP (see 84 FR 26349, June 6, 2019). The direct final rule was published without prior proposal because we anticipated no adverse comments. We stated in the direct final rule that if we received relevant adverse comments by July 8, 2019, we would publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We received relevant adverse comments on the portion of the direct final rule regarding our approval of revisions to the Texas SIP to remove rules from the Texas SIP that address the LIRAP for Participating EAC Counties at 30 TAC 114, Section 114.86 and accordingly are withdrawing that portion of the direct final rule on which adverse comments were received.

ACTION: Notification of approval. AGENCY: SUMMARY: On May 10, 2016, EPA revised the maximum permit term for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (MSWLF) units operating under Research, Development and Demonstration (RD&D) permits. The revision allows states to increase the number of RD&D permit renewals issued to six, 3-year permit renewals, for a total permit term of up to 21 years.

Subject to public review and comment, this document approves Wisconsin’s revised RD&D permit requirements. DATES: This determination of adequacy of the RD&D permit program for Wisconsin are effective October 15, 2019 unless adverse comments are received. If adverse comments are received, EPA will review those comments and publish another Federal Register document responding to those comments and either affirm or revise EPA’s initial decision.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A. Background On March 22, 2004, EPA issued a final rule amending the MSWLF criteria in 40 CFR 258 to allow for RD&D permits (69 FR 13242). This rule allows for variances from specified criteria for a limited period of time, to be implemented through state-issued RD&D permits. RD&D permits are available only in states with approved MSWLF permit programs that have been modified to incorporate RD&D permit authority. On May 10, 2016, EPA revised the maximum permit term for MSWLF units operating under RD&D permits (81 FR 28720). The revision allows states to increase the number of RD&D permit renewals issued to six, 3year permit renewals, for a total permit term of up to 21 years (40 CFR 258.4). While states are not required to incorporate this new provision, those states interested in providing RD&D permits must seek approval from EPA before issuing such permits. On January 10, 2006, Wisconsin received EPA approval of its RD&D permit program (71 FR 3293). On May 6, 2019, WDNR submitted a notification to EPA Region 5 seeking Federal approval of its revised RD&D requirements per the procedures in 40 CFR 239.12. Wisconsin’s revised RD&D provisions can be found in E:\FR\FM\13AUR1.SGM 13AUR1

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a 
portion of a direct final rule published on June

[[Page 39977]]

6, 2019, because relevant adverse comments were received. The rule 
pertained to EPA approval of revisions to the Texas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the Texas Commission on 
Environmental Quality. The revisions remove rules from the Texas SIP 
that address motor vehicle anti-tampering requirements and the Low 
Income Repair Assistance Program (LIRAP) for certain participating 
counties. In a separate subsequent final rulemaking, EPA will address 
the portion of the direct final rule on which relevant adverse comments 
were received.

DATES: Effective August 13, 2019, the EPA withdraws amendatory 
instruction 2 from the direct final rule published on June 6, 2019, at 
84 FR 26349.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carrie Paige, EPA Region 6 Office,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and 
``our'' means the EPA. On June 6, 2019, we published a direct final 
rule to approve revisions to the Texas SIP to remove two rules from the 
Texas SIP. The revisions remove 30 TAC 114, Subchapter B (the Motor 
Vehicle Anti-tampering Requirements) in its entirety; and 30 TAC 114, 
Section 114.86 (the LIRAP for Participating Early Action Compact (EAC) 
Counties) from the SIP (see 84 FR 26349, June 6, 2019). The direct 
final rule was published without prior proposal because we anticipated 
no adverse comments. We stated in the direct final rule that if we 
received relevant adverse comments by July 8, 2019, we would publish a 
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register. We received relevant adverse 
comments on the portion of the direct final rule regarding our approval 
of revisions to the Texas SIP to remove rules from the Texas SIP that 
address the LIRAP for Participating EAC Counties at 30 TAC 114, Section 
114.86 and accordingly are withdrawing that portion of the direct final 
rule on which adverse comments were received. In a separate subsequent 
final rulemaking, we will address the comments received. The portion of 
the direct final rule approving revisions to remove 30 TAC 114, 
Subchapter B (the Motor Vehicle Anti-tampering Requirements) \1\ in its 
entirety from the Texas SIP received only supportive comments and will 
be effective on September 4, 2019, as provided in the direct final 
action at 84 FR 26349.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Due to an apparent oversight, 30 TAC 114 Subchapter B (Motor 
Vehicle Anti-Tampering Requirements) was not included in Table (c) 
``EPA Approved Regulations in the Texas SIP'' at 40 CFR 52.2270, so 
there is no amendatory instruction in the direct final rule to 
remove those provisions.

was to become effective on September 4, 2019, is withdrawn.
