Regulatory Enforcement Ombudsman
and the Regional Small Business
Regulatory Fairness Boards. The
Ombudsman evaluates these actions
annually and rates each agency’s
responsiveness to small business. If you
wish to comment on actions by
employees of the Coast Guard, call 1–
888–REG–FAIR (1–888–734–3247). 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.

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.

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. 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.

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 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. 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
jspears on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
DATES:
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.

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. On

Federal approval of its revised RD&D
requirements per the procedures in

comments and either affirm or revise
EPA’s initial decision. Comments on

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

6, 2019, because relevant adverse comments were received. The rule

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and

Section 114.86 (the LIRAP for Participating Early Action Compact (EAC)

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

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.
