Department of the Interior May 23, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

BOEM is extending the public comment period to submit comments on the proposed rule entitled ``Air Quality Control, Reporting, and Compliance,'' which was published in the Federal Register on April 5, 2016. The original public comment period to submit comments on this rulemaking would have ended on June 6, 2016. However, BOEM has received public comments requesting an extension of the comment period. BOEM has reviewed the extension requests and has determined that a 14-day comment period extension to June 20, 2016, is appropriate. The proposed rule specified a separate, shorter period to submit comments to the Office of Management and Budget on the information collection (IC) burden in this rulemaking. That comment period ended on May 5, 2016, and will not be extended.

The boundary of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park is modified to include four tracts containing 25.55 acres of land, more or less, located in Orange County and Spotsylvania County, Virginia, immediately adjoining the boundary of Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park. Subsequent to the proposed boundary revision, the National Park Service will acquire one tract by donation from the Civil War Trust and two tracts by purchase from the Central Virginia Battlefields Trust. The fourth tract, already owned by the United States and acquired as an uneconomic remnant, will be brought into the boundary so that it can be administered as part of the park.
