SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 3, 2012 (77 FR 60339), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The NPR
proposed approval of the 2002 base year emissions inventory portion of
the Pennsylvania SIP revision submitted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania on November 10, 2009.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The 2002 base year emissions inventory submitted by PADEP on
November 10, 2009 for the Area includes emissions estimates that cover
the general source categories of point sources, area sources, on-road
mobile sources, and non-road mobile sources. The pollutants that
comprise the inventory are PM2.5, coarse particles
(PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH3), and sulfur dioxide
(SO2). EPA has reviewed the results, procedures and
methodologies for the base year emissions inventory submitted by PADEP.
The year 2002 was selected by PADEP as the base year for the emissions
inventory per 40 CFR 51.1008(b).
    A discussion of the emissions inventory development as well as the
emissions inventory can be found in the November 10, 2009 SIP submittal
as well as in the NPR. Specific requirements of the base year emissions
inventory and the rationale for EPA's action are explained in the NPR
and will not be restated here. No public comments were received on the
NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the 2002 base year PM2.5 emissions
inventory for the Area as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct

costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 11, 2013. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action pertaining to the PM2.5 base year
emissions inventory for the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley 1997
PM2.5 nonattainment area may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

comprise the inventory are PM2.5, coarse particles
(PM10), nitrogen oxides (NOX), volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), ammonia (NH3), and sulfur dioxide
(SO2).

number:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email address<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West,
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone
number for the Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>. For additional
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61,
subpart N. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit
initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and
results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of
the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Glass manufacturing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61,
subpart N).
    Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $365,000 (per year), includes $56,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the respondent
burden hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. However, there
is an adjustment increase in the estimated labor costs from using more
updated labor rates. In addition, there is an adjustment increase in
the Agency burden due to a correction. The previous ICR underestimated
the number of uncontrolled arsenic emission rate reports reviewed by
the Agency. These reports are submitted by 15 of the 16 subject
sources. This ICR assumes the Agency reviews reports submitted by all
15 sources.

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for
Maryland

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to update a
portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations.
Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of States'
seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain consistent
with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (COA), as
mandated by the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (the Act). The
portion of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to
the requirements for OCS sources for which Maryland is the designated
COA. In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, EPA
is taking this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this action, no further activity is
contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule
will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 11, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2014-0568 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>For comments submitted at Regulations.gov,
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted,
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person

number 5 for the Sacramento Ironman Swim regulated area from 6 a.m. to
10 a.m. on October 23, 2022. This action is being taken to provide for
the safety of life on navigable waterways during this event. Our
regulation for marine events within Northern California, Sec.
100.1103, specifies the location of the regulated area for the
Sacramento Ironman Swim which encompasses portions of the American
River and Sacramento River. During the enforcement period, the
regulated area will be in effect in the navigable waters of the
American River and Sacramento River from Township 9 Park to North of
Tower Bridge.
    During the enforcement period, under the provisions of 33 CFR
100.1103(b), if you are the operator of a vessel in the regulated area
you must comply with directions from the Patrol Commander (PATCOM) or
any other Official Patrol, defined as a Federal, State, or local law
enforcement agency on scene to assist the Coast Guard in enforcing the
regulated area. During the enforcement period, if you are the operator
of a vessel that participates in the marine event within the regulated
area, you must follow the route established by the marine event
sponsor, and comply with directions from the Patrol Commander or other
Official Patrol. The PATCOM or Official Patrol may, upon request, allow
the transit of commercial vessels through regulated areas when it is
safe to do so.
    In addition to this notification of enforcement in the Federal
Register, the Coast Guard plans to provide notification of this
enforcement period via Local Notice to Mariners. If the Captain of the
Port determines that the regulated area need not be enforced for the
full duration stated in this notification, a Broadcast Notice to
Mariners may be used to grant general permission to enter the regulated
area.

    Dated: October 17, 2022.
Jordan M. Baldueza,
Captain, U.S. Coast Guard, Alternate Captain of the Port, San
Francisco.
