FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If you have questions on this test deviation, call or email: Mr. Lee D. Soule, Bridge Management Specialist, Ninth Coast Guard District; telephone 216–902–6085, email Lee.D.Soule@ uscg.mil. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This portion of the Fox River at Oshkosh flows from Lake Butte Des Mortts to Lake Winnebago, passing through five bridges. The first four bridges are highway bridges: Main Street Bridge, mile 55.97, the Jackson Street Bridge, mile 56.22, the Wisconsin Street Bridge, mile 56.72, the Congress Avenue Bridge, mile 58.01, and the fifth bridge is a single leaf bascule bridge that has been operating remotely successfully for over one year. Because of the success at the railroad bridge, we are considering allowing the other four bridges to operate remotely. During the summer, one hundred recreational vessels pass through these bridges on a daily average. I. Background, Purpose and Legal Basis The Main Street Bridge, mile 55.97, provides a horizontal clearance of 89 feet and a vertical clearance 11 feet in the closed position, the Jackson Street Bridge, mile 56.22, provides a horizontal clearance of 97 feet and a vertical clearance 11 feet in the closed position, the Wisconsin Street Bridge, mile 56.72, provides a horizontal clearance of 75 feet and a vertical clearance 12 feet in the closed position, and the Congress Avenue Bridge, mile 58.01, provides a horizontal clearance of 75 feet and a vertical clearance 13 feet in the closed position. All of these bridges are over the Fox River and provide an unlimited clearance in the open position, and are governed by the regulations found in 33 CFR 117.1087. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has requested to test the capabilities of the remote operating system with live operators in the bridges and allow the public to comment on the bridge operations before any changes are made. This deviation will not change the operation of the bridges. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation will provide weekly bridge opening data and approximate vehicle and pedestrian crossings at the end of the test deviation. Each bridge will have the ability to communicate by visual or audio means including enough cameras VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:11 Jul 02, 2021 Jkt 253001 to see above and below the bridge, including night vision cameras to monitor approaching river traffic in adverse weather conditions. The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through our Local Notice to Mariners when the comment period opens and how to leave comments. II.

ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Utah. The revision fulfills the base year inventory requirement for the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for the Uinta Basin, Northern Wasatch Front, and Southern Wasatch Front nonattainment areas (NAAs). Utah submitted the base year emissions inventories to meet, in part, the nonattainment requirements for Marginal ozone NAAs under the 2015 8hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is taking this action pursuant to sections 110, 172, and 182 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). DATES: This rule is effective on August 5, 2021. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA–R08–OAR–2020–0646. All documents in the docket are listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website.

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 April 1, 2021 proposal.1 We proposed to approve the 2017 base year inventories for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Uinta Basin, Northern Wasatch Front, and Southern Wasatch Front Marginal NAAs because the State prepared the inventories in accordance with the requirements in sections 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1) 2 of the CAA and its implementing regulations, including those at 40 CFR 51.1315. EPA is finalizing its proposed approval of Utah’s 2017 base year inventories for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Uinta Basin, Northern Wasatch Front, and Southern Wasatch Front Marginal NAAs. With this final rulemaking Utah will have met one of three requirements stemming from the Marginal nonattainment designation of the Uinta Basin, Northern Wasatch Front, and Southern Wasatch Front areas. II. Response to Comments EPA held a 30-day comment period on the proposed rulemaking beginning on April 1, 2021 and closing on May 3, 2021. We received one supportive comment letter from the Utah Petroleum Association (UPA), which focused on the Uinta Basin NAA. Our response to UPA’s comment letter is below. Comment summary: UPA states that it supports EPA’s approval of the base year inventory, specifically supports the choice of 2017 as the base year, and supports use of an emissions inventory from a National Emissions Inventory 1 Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Utah; 2017 Base Year Inventories for the 2015 8-hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard for the Uinta Basin, Northern Wasatch Front and Southern Wasatch Front Nonattainment Areas, 86 FR 17106 (April 1, 2021). 2 42 U.S.C. 7502(c)(3), 7511a(a)(1). PO 00000 Frm 00018 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 year. UPA also commends the Utah Division of Air Quality for its decision to include a separate oil and gas source category in the base year, which UPA says improves transparency of critical information needed to understand ozone formation in the Uinta Basin. UPA also raises two areas of concern: (1) The lack of an opportunity to comment on the base year inventory for tribal lands within the Uinta Basin NAA; and (2) the need to be able to adjust the base year inventory based on evolving research and calculation methods. UPA explains that Utah’s base year inventory includes only Statecontrolled lands, but tribal lands in the Uinta Basin include significant emissions sources, and UPA is not aware of any opportunity to comment on a base year inventory for the tribal lands. Further, UPA states that studies relevant to the emissions inventory are ongoing and recommends that EPA allow updates to the base year inventory to account for this evolving research. In particular, UPA states that such an update is important for determining the adequacy of future Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) emission reductions as well as for photochemical modeling. Response: We thank UPA for the supportive comment letter and we agree with UPA that Utah’s SIP revision included the appropriate base year and was otherwise based on the most current and accurate information available to the State at the time the inventories were developed. With respect to UPA’s concern regarding a lack of opportunity to comment on an inventory for sources on tribal land, we note that an inventory of emissions from Indian country sources is outside of the scope of this rulemaking. As explained in EPA’s proposed rule, and repeated above, EPA is approving Utah’s SIP submission because the base year inventories therein accord with the requirements in sections 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1) of the CAA and its implementing regulations, including those at 40 CFR 51.1315. Similarly, we thank UPA for informing us of ongoing studies related to emissions in the Uinta Basin NAA. The inventories submitted by the State of Utah were based on the most current and accurate information available to the State at the time that the inventories were developed. If, at any point in the future, Utah believes that a revision to the base year inventory is necessary, EPA is open to discussing that issue with the State.3 At this time, however, 3 EPA generally acknowledges that in certain circumstances, updating an already-approved base year inventory may be appropriate.
