The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a portion of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Florida through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department or FL DEP) on April 1, 2022. The portion of the SIP revision proposed for approval seeks to modify a stationary source emission standard applicable to certain fossil fuel steam generators by making several changes to provisions that regulate emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), and visible emissions, and by removing certain emission limits that are either obsolete or otherwise regulated by more stringent federally enforceable conditions elsewhere. The portion of the SIP revision also seeks to modify requirements for major stationary sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and NOX by removing unnecessary language and certain emission limits that are obsolete. EPA is proposing to approve these changes pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia. This revision updates West Virginia's incorporation by reference (IBR) of EPA's national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the associated monitoring reference and equivalent methods.

We are approving these revisions under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act''), which establishes clean fuels or advanced control technology for boilers requirements for ``Extreme'' ozone nonattainment areas.

This action amends Class D airspace for Cape Cod Gateway Airport, Hyannis, MA, by updating the airport name and geographic coordinates to coincide with the FAA's database. This action also updates verbiage in the airport's description. This action does not change the airspace boundaries or operating requirements.

This action proposes to amend Class E surface airspace and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Greenville, NC, as new instrument approach procedures have been designed for ECU Health Medical Center Heliport, Greenville, NC, and evaluations of existing Class E airspace determined modification were needed. The Class E airspaces for Pitt-Greenville Airport will have increases in the radii as well as establishing an extension to the northeast. Also, this action would establish Class E airspace for ECU Health Medical Center Heliport. In addition, this action would make the editorial chance replacing the term Notice to Airmen with Notice to Air Missions in the legal description.

This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace at Wabash, IN. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review due to the decommissioning of the Kokomo very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The geographic coordinates of the airport would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

This action proposes to amend the Class D and Class E airspace and remove Class E airspace at Kalamazoo, MI. The FAA is proposing this action as the result of an airspace review due to the decommissioning of the Kalamazoo very high frequency omnidirectional range (VOR) as part of the VOR Minimum Operating Network (MON) Program. The geographic coordinates of Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport and the name of the Borgess Medical Center Helipad would also be updated to coincide with the FAA's aeronautical database.

This action proposes to amend Jet Route J-84, United States Area Navigation (RNAV) route Q-42, and Very High Frequency (VHF) Omni- directional Range (VOR) Federal airways V-171 and V-251, and establish RNAV route T-478. The FAA is proposing this action due to the planned decommissioning of the VOR portion of the Danville, IL (DNV), VOR/ Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigational aid (NAVAID). The Danville VOR is being decommissioned in support of the FAA's VOR Minimum Operational Network (MON) program.

This action proposes to amend the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class C surface area and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface in Nashville, TN, as the result of a Class C Airspace modification and a biennial evaluation. This action would reduce the Class E airspace designated as an extension to the Nashville International Airport Class C airspace. This action would also extend the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface surrounding Music City Executive Airport, and reduce the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface surrounding Lebanon Municipal Airport, Murfreesboro Municipal Airport, and John C. Tune Airport.

NMFS announces the availability of the scoping document for Amendment 16 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (Amendment 16) and its intent to prepare an EIS under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Based on the mechanism used in establishing shark quotas and related management measures from Amendment 14 to the 2006 Consolidated HMS FMP (Amendment 14), Amendment 16 would modify the acceptable biological catch (ABC) and annual catch limits (ACLs) for Atlantic sharks and the process used to account for carryover of underharvests of quotas. In the scoping document, NMFS considers changes to commercial and recreational shark management measures related to commercial and recreational quotas, management groups, retention limits, and size limits. NMFS expects to consider the comments received on the scoping document when developing Amendment 16.

This document announces the availability of a draft Policy Statement PS-AIR-600-39-01, Demonstration of Radio Altimeter Tolerant Aircraft. The FAA invites public comment on PS-AIR-600-39-01.

On January 31, 2023, the Federal Communications Commission (Commission) revised the Commission's rules. That document had two clerical errors in the fee amounts for two types of Commercial AM Radio Stations applications: Minor Modification, Construction Permit and New License. This document is submitted to correct the final regulations.

NMFS proposes to revise its Antarctic Marine Living Resources Convention Act regulations, including those that implement the trade- monitoring program for frozen and fresh Dissostichus species, commonly marketed or referred to as Chilean seabass or Patagonian toothfish. Specifically, this action would: revise regulations that specify the circumstances under which NMFS would deny issuance of a preapproval certificate that is required to legally import frozen Dissostichus species; add regulations that specify the circumstances under which NMFS would deny issuance of a re-export or export document that is required to legally re-export or export both frozen and fresh Dissostichus species; clarify that the applicable authorization must be received prior to re-export or export; and remove the prohibition on the importation of toothfish harvested from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Statistical Areas 51 and 57. NMFS also proposes other non-substantive technical and procedural updates.

This action modifies the Class D and Class E surface airspace at Lemoore Naval Air Station, Reeves Field. It removes the Class E airspace designated as an extension to a Class D or Class E surface area, removes the Class E airspace extending from 1,200 feet above the surface, modifies the Class E airspace extending from 700 feet above the surface of the earth, and it makes several administrative changes to update the airport's legal descriptions. These actions will support the safety and management of instrument flight rule (IFR) and visual flight rule (VFR) operations at the airport.

This proposed rule would implement Draft Amendment 15 to the 2006 Consolidated Atlantic Highly Migratory Species (HMS) Fishery Management Plan (FMP) (Amendment 15). NMFS is proposing changes to Atlantic HMS fishery management measures regarding four commercial longline spatial management areas and the administration and funding of the HMS pelagic longline electronic monitoring (EM) program. Specifically, NMFS proposes to modify the timing and boundaries of the Mid-Atlantic shark, Charleston Bump, East Florida Coast, and DeSoto Canyon closed areas to create low- and/or high-bycatch risk areas. Lastly, NMFS proposes to implement a cost allocation program to transition electronic monitoring sampling costs to the industry, while NMFS remains responsible for administrative costs. These proposed changes would directly impact bottom and pelagic longline fishermen who hold Atlantic HMS fishing permits, and HMS commercial fishermen who use other gear types and HMS recreational fishermen may also be indirectly impacted given the proposed changes to the existing closed areas.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission'') is reopening the comment period for its proposal (``Proposed Rules'') to amend the rule under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Exchange Act'') that defines certain terms used in the statutory definition of ``exchange.'' The reopening provides supplemental information and economic analysis regarding trading systems that trade crypto asset securities that would be newly included in the definition of ``exchange'' under the Proposed Rules. The Commission is requesting further information and public comment on certain aspects of the Proposed Rules as applicable to all securities and the compliance dates and other alternatives for the Proposed Rules. The Proposed Rules were set forth in Release No. 34-94062 (``Proposing Release''), and the related comment period, which was reopened in Release No. 34-94868 on May 9, 2022, ended on June 13, 2022. The reopening of this comment period is intended to allow interested persons further opportunity to analyze and comment on the Proposed Rules in light of the supplemental information provided herein (``Reopening Release'').

The Coast Guard proposes to require Coast Guard-approved training providers to electronically submit student course completion data to the Coast Guard within 5 business days of completing a Coast Guard-approved course. The National Maritime Center would use this information to validate mariner course completion as part of an application for a Merchant Mariner Credential. In addition, the Coast Guard proposes to replace gendered titles for certain officer and rating endorsements in keeping with Coast Guard policy of using gender- neutral language. We expect these proposed changes to lessen the probability of credentials being issued to mariners who have not met the professional requirements for their endorsements and to appropriately conform terms that should be gender-neutral.

This action modifies the Class E airspace designated as a surface area at Visalia Municipal Airport, CA. Additionally, this action modifies the Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface at the airport. Furthermore, several administrative modifications were made to update the airport's legal descriptions. These actions will support the safety and management of instrument flight rules (IFR) operations at the airport.

The Coast Guard proposes to modify the operating regulations of the Monroe Street Highway Bridge, mile 0.4 and the Norfolk Southern Railroad Bridge, mile 1.5, over the Portage River at Port Clinton, Ohio. We invite your comments on this proposed rulemaking.

The Coast Guard is modifying the operating schedule that governs the Amtrak Railroad Bridge, mil 0.9, across Trail Creek, in Michigan City, Indiana, to allow it to operate remotely. The bridge has operated remotely since 2003 without inclusion in the CFR. During that period, the Coast Guard has not received any reports of incident or public complaint.
