NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
§ Section
U.S.C. United States Code
II. Background Information and
Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this
temporary rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment pursuant to
authority under section 4(a) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule
without prior notice and opportunity to
comment when the agency for good
cause finds that those procedures are
‘‘impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest.’’ Under 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because
publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable. It is impracticable to
publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by August 20,
2022 and lack sufficient time to provide
a reasonable comment period and then
consider those comments before issuing
the rule.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast
Guard finds that good cause exists for
making this rule effective less than 30
days after publication in the Federal
Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public
interest because immediate action is
needed to respond to the potential
safety hazards associated with the
Nashville CVC–ASAE Fireworks event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule
under authority in 46 U.S.C. 70034
(previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The
Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley
(COTP) has determined that potential
hazards associated with the Nashville
CVC—ASAE Fireworks starting August
20, 2022, will be a safety concern for
anyone within mile marker 190 to 192.
on the Cumberland River. This rule is
needed to protect personnel, vessels,

and the marine environment in the
navigable waters within the safety zone
during the firework display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary
safety zone from 9 p.m. until 9:30 p.m.
on August 20, 2022. The safety zone
will cover all navigable waters between
MM 190 to 192 on the Cumberland
River, extending the entire width of the
river. The duration of the zone is
intended to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in these
navigable waters while the fireworks
display is occuring. No vessel or person
will be permitted to enter the safety
zone without obtaining permission from
the COTP or a designated
representative. A designated
representative is a commissioned,
warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.
Coast Guard assigned to units under the
operational control of USCG Sector
Ohio Valley.
Vessels requiring entry into this safety
zone must request permission from the
COTP or a designated representative. To
seek entry into the safety zone, contact
the COTP or the COTP’s representative
by telephone at 502–779–5422 or on
VHF–FM channel 16.
Persons and vessels permitted to enter
this safety zone must transit at their
slowest safe speed and comply with all
lawful directions issued by the COTP or
the designated representative.
The COTP or a designated
representative will inform the public
through Broadcast Notices to Mariners
(BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners
(LNMs), and Marine Safety Information
Bulletins (MSIBs) about this safety zone,
enforcement period, as well as any
changes in the dates and times of
enforcement.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after
considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking.
Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and
Executive orders, and we discuss First
Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, if regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits.
This rule has not been designated a
‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ under
Executive Order 12866. Accordingly,
this rule has not been reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).

khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of
1980, 5 U.S.C. 601–612, as amended,
requires Federal agencies to consider
the potential impact of regulations on
small entities during rulemaking. The
term ‘‘small entities’’ comprises small
businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and
operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations of less than 50,000.
The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C.
605(b) that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
While some owners or operators of
vessels intending to transit the safety
zone may be small entities, for the
reasons stated in section V.A above, this
rule will not have a significant
economic impact on any vessel owner
or operator.
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 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 call or email the
person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section.
Small businesses may send comments
on the actions of Federal employees
who enforce, or otherwise determine
compliance with, Federal regulations to
the Small Business and Agriculture
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.
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, Rev. 1, associated
implementing instructions, 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 30 minutes that will
prohibit entry between MM 190 to 192
on the Cumberland River for the
fireworks display. It is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table
1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023–01–
001–01, Rev. 1. A Record of

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is revising its prior action
that erroneously fully approved a state

submitted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania (PA), through the
Pennsylvania Department of
Environmental Protection (PADEP), to
EPA on October 11, 2017, and
supplemented on February 5, 2020. The
SIP revision provided a plan for
attainment of the 2010 sulfur dioxide
(SO2) primary national ambient air
quality standard (NAAQS) in the
Indiana, Pennsylvania SO2
nonattainment area (hereafter referred to
as the ‘‘Indiana, PA NAA’’ or ‘‘Indiana
Area’’). The attainment plan submission
included a base year emissions
inventory, an analysis of the reasonably
available control technology (RACT)
and reasonably available control
measure (RACM) requirements,
enforceable emission limitations and
control measures, a reasonable further
progress (RFP) plan, a modeling
demonstration of SO2 attainment, and
contingency measures for the Indiana
Area. EPA is revising its prior action
and is partially approving and partially
disapproving the SIP. This action is
being taken under the Clean Air Act
(CAA).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On March 17, 2022 (87 FR 15166),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the
NPRM, EPA provided notice to the
Commonwealth and the public and
described the basis for its determination
that it had erroneously fully approved
the Indiana, PA SO2 Attainment Plan,
and proposed to revise its formal
approval of the Plan to a partial
disapproval and partial approval. See
CAA section 110(k)(6). The formal SIP
revision was originally submitted by
Pennsylvania on October 11, 2017, and
later supplemented on February 5, 2020.
EPA took final action approving this
attainment plan on October 19, 2020 (85
FR 66240).
On December 18, 2020, the Sierra
Club, Clean Air Council, and
PennFuture filed a petition for judicial
review with the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the Third Circuit, challenging that
final approval.1 On April 5, 2021, EPA
filed a motion for voluntary remand

Indiana, PA SO2 attainment plan. On
August 17, 2021, the U.S. Court of

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA
Analysis
In accordance with section 172(c) of
the CAA, the Pennsylvania attainment
plan for the Indiana Area includes an
emissions inventory for SO2 for the
plan’s base year (2011) and an
attainment demonstration. The
attainment demonstration includes the
following: (1) analyses that locate,
identify, and quantify sources of
emissions contributing to violations of
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS; (2) a
determination that the control strategy
for the primary SO2 sources within the
nonattainment areas constitutes RACM/
RACT; (3) a dispersion modeling
analysis of an emissions control strategy
for the primary SO2 sources contributing
to SO2 concentrations in the Area
(Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City, and
Seward) purporting to show attainment
of the SO2 NAAQS by the October 4,
2018, attainment date; (4) requirements
for RFP toward attaining the SO2
NAAQS in the Area; (5) contingency
measures; (6) the assertion that
Pennsylvania’s existing SIP-approved
new source review (NSR) program meets
the applicable requirements for SO2;
and (7) the request that emission
limitations and compliance parameters
for Keystone, Conemaugh, Homer City,
and Seward be incorporated into the
SIP.
On February 5, 2020, in response to
comments submitting during the
proposal’s public comment period,
PADEP submitted supplemental
information in support of the attainment
plan. The February 5, 2020 submittal
included: (1) a supplemental air
dispersion modeling report; (2)
supplemental air dispersion modeling
data; (3) a supplemental air dispersion
modeling protocol; (4) a meteorological
monitoring plan; (5) meteorological
monitoring data; (6) meteorological
monitoring quality assurance, quality
control, and audit reports; (7) Clean Air
Markets Division (CAMD) emissions
data for 2010–2018; and (8) Continuous
Emissions Monitoring (CEM) data for
2010 through the third quarter of 2019.
The supplemental air dispersion
modeling used a more refined model
receptor grid than that in the original
submittal, meteorological data collected
near the controlling modeled source
(Seward), and more recent (2016–18)
background concentrations from the
South Fayette SO2 monitor (the monitor
used to determine background
concentrations in the original modeling
analysis). In order to allow for public

II. Background Information and Regulatory History
The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This
provision authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), the Coast Guard finds that good
cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
with respect to this rule because publishing an NPRM would be
impracticable. It is impracticable to publish an NPRM because we must
establish this safety zone by August 20, 2022 and lack sufficient time
to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those comments
before issuing the rule.
Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making this rule effective less than 30 days after
publication in the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of
this rule would be contrary to the public interest because immediate
action is needed to respond to the potential safety hazards associated
with the Nashville CVC-ASAE Fireworks event.
III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule
The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 46 U.S.C.
70034 (previously 33 U.S.C. 1231). The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio
Valley (COTP) has determined that potential hazards associated with the
Nashville CVC--ASAE Fireworks starting August 20, 2022, will be a
safety concern for anyone within mile marker 190 to 192. on the
Cumberland River. This rule is needed to protect personnel, vessels,
and the marine environment in the navigable waters within the safety
zone during the firework display.
IV. Discussion of the Rule
This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from 9 p.m. until
9:30 p.m. on August 20, 2022. The safety zone will cover all navigable
waters between MM 190 to 192 on the Cumberland River, extending the
entire width of the river. The duration of the zone is intended to
protect personnel, vessels, and the marine environment in these
navigable waters while the fireworks display is occuring. No vessel or
person will be permitted to enter the safety zone without obtaining
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. A designated
representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer of the U.S.
Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control of USCG
Sector Ohio Valley.
Vessels requiring entry into this safety zone must request
permission from the COTP or a designated representative. To seek entry
into the safety zone, contact the COTP or the COTP's representative by
telephone at 502-779-5422 or on VHF-FM channel 16.
Persons and vessels permitted to enter this safety zone must
transit at their slowest safe speed and comply with all lawful
directions issued by the COTP or the designated representative.
The COTP or a designated representative will inform the public
through Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to Mariners
(LNMs), and Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs) about this
safety zone, enforcement period, as well as any changes in the dates
and times of enforcement.
V. Regulatory Analyses
We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.
A. Regulatory Planning and Review
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. This rule has not been designated a ``significant
regulatory action,'' under Executive Order 12866. Accordingly, this
rule has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget
(OMB).
[[Page 50777]]
This regulatory action determination is based on the fireworks show
being held for 30 minutes during the evening hours and only impacting 2
miles of the Cumberland River.
B. Impact on Small Entities
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in section
V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic impact on any
vessel owner or operator.
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 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
call or email the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture 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.
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, Rev. 1, associated implementing instructions, 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 30 minutes that will prohibit entry between MM
190 to 192 on the Cumberland River for the fireworks display. It is
categorically excluded from further review under paragraph L60(a) of
Appendix A, Table 1 of DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 1. A
Record of Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is
available in the docket. For instructions on locating the docket, see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble.
G. Protest Activities
The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to call or email 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.
