----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notes: Reasons for removal from the SIP of the rules in tables 2, 3, and 4 are as follows:
\1\ The rule is not required for the SIP to achieve or maintain attainment.
\2\ The rule is not appropriate for EPA to enforce.
\3\ The rule is appropriate to be in the SIP, but is not approvable according to current EPA requirements.

D. What Are the Purposes of the Rule Revisions or Rule Removals?

    Section 110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit regulations
that control volatile organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, particulate
matter, and other air pollutants which harm human health and the
environment. Permitting rules were developed as part of the local air
district's programs to control these pollutants. The overall purpose of
the present actions on NSAQMD permitting rules is to partially
consolidate the SIP rules from the original individual air districts,
NCAPCD, PCAPCD, and SCAPCD, into one set of SIP rules for the unified
NSAQMD.
    The SIP rules being removed are from three defunct individual
county air districts, NCAPCD, PCAPCD, and SCAPCD, which were unified to
form the NSAQMD. These defunct district rules are not appropriate or
required for the SIP or were replaced by currently-active NSAQMD SIP
rules. The rules listed in tables 2, 3, and 4 are being removed from
the SIP by EPA under the authority of section 110(k)(6) of the CAA. The
removal of these listed rules does not relax the SIP and does not
result in an increase in air emissions.
    The purposes of the new submitted rules are as follows:
     Rule 510: The rule clarifies that the emissions from
multiple emission points in a single source operation may not exceed
the limit that would have applied for one emission point for that
source.
     Rule 511: The rule allows multiple emission sources to be
regulated separately if the emissions are combined and if the emissions
are susceptible to reliably attributing the amount of

emissions to each individual source. Otherwise, combined multiple
emission sources must be regulated with the most stringent regulation
for a single emission source.
     Rule 512: The rule prohibits circumvention of regulations
by superficially reducing or concealing emissions that might violate
emission regulations.
     Rule 513: The rule requires recordkeeping and reporting
with a two-year retention period of those emissions required by the
APCO.
    The purposes of revisions relative to the SIP rules are as follows:
     Rule 501: The requirement that major sources subject to
title V comply with federal operating permit regulations is added.
     Rule 505: The authority of the Air Pollution Control
Officer (APCO) to grant a permit to rent or sell air pollution control
equipment is removed.
     Rule 515: The requirements for sampling and testing to
determine compliance with emission regulations are unified from the
defunct district rules.
     Rule 517: The requirements for the transfer of ownership
of an emission source are unified from the defunct district rules.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How Is EPA Evaluating the Rules?

    Generally, SIP rules regulating permitting must be enforceable (see
section 110(a) of the CAA) and must not relax existing requirements
(see sections 110(l) and 193). The revision or removal of SIP rules
must not relax existing requirements. The NSAQMD regulates an 8-hour
CAA subpart 1 ozone nonattainment area. There are no specific RACT
requirements for permitting rules.
    The following guidance documents were used for reference:
     Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of
Implementation Plans, EPA, 40 CFR part 51.
     Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies, EPA Region IX (August 21, 2001). (The Little Bluebook)

B. Do the Rule Submittals and Rule Removals Meet the Evaluation
Criteria?

    We believe the rule approvals and rule removals are consistent with
the relevant policy and guidance regarding enforceability and SIP
relaxations. The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. Public Comment and Final Action

    EPA is approving local NSAQMD Rules 501, 505, 510, 511, 512, 513,
515, and 517 into the SIP and approving the removal of eight NCAPCD,
two PCAPCD, and four SCAPCD permitting rules from the SIP. We believe
these actions fulfill all relevant requirements. We do not think anyone
will object to this, so we are finalizing the approvals and removals
without proposing them in advance. However, in the Proposed Rules
section of this Federal Register, we are simultaneously proposing
approval of the same actions. If we receive adverse comments by August
8, 2008, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to
notify the public that the direct final approval will not take effect
and we will address the comments in a subsequent final action based on
the proposal. If we do not receive timely adverse comments, the direct
final approval will be effective without further notice on September 8,
2008. This will incorporate the submitted rules in table 1 into the
federally-enforceable SIP and remove the rules in tables 2, 3, and 4
from the SIP. Superseded SIP rules for those rules in table 1 are also
removed from the SIP. There are no sanctions or FIP clocks associated
with any previous action on the rules.
    Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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 Clean Air Act.
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 Clean Air Act; 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.
    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).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United

States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 8,
2008. 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 may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section
307(b)(2)).

I. Transportation Conformity

    Transportation conformity (hereafter referred to as ``conformity'')
is required under section 176(c) of the CAA to ensure that federally
supported highway projects, transit projects, and other activities are
consistent with (conform to) the purpose of the SIP. Conformity
currently applies to areas that are designated nonattainment, and to
areas that have been redesignated to attainment after 1990 (maintenance
areas) with plans developed under section 175A of the Act, for the
following transportation related criteria pollutants: Ozone,
particulate matter (e.g., PM2.5 and PM10), carbon
monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
    Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means that transportation
activities will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing
violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant national ambient
air quality standards (NAAQS) for criteria pollutants. The
transportation conformity regulation is found in 40 CFR part 93 and
provisions related to conformity SIPs are found in 40 CFR 51.390.

II. Background for This Action

A. Federal Requirements

    EPA promulgated the federal transportation conformity criteria and
procedures (``Conformity Rule'') on November 24, 1993 (58 FR 62188).
Among other things, the rule required states to address all provisions
of the conformity rule in their SIPs, frequently referred to as
``conformity SIPs.'' Under 40 CFR 51.390, most sections of the
conformity rule were required to be copied verbatim. States were also
required to tailor all or portions of the following three sections of
the conformity rule to meet their state's individual circumstances: 40
CFR 93.105, which addresses consultation procedures; 40 CFR
93.122(a)(4)(ii), which addresses written commitments

to control measures that are not included in a metropolitan planning
organization's (MPO's) transportation plan and transportation
improvement program that must be obtained prior to a conformity
determination, and the requirement that such commitments, when they
exist, must be fulfilled; and 40 CFR 93.125(c), which addresses written
commitments to mitigation measures that must be obtained prior to a
project-level conformity determination, and the requirement that
project sponsors must comply with such commitments, when they exist.
    On August 10, 2005, the ``Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient
Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users'' (SAFETEA-LU) was signed
into law (Public Law 109-59). SAFETEA-LU revised section 176(c) of the
CAA transportation conformity provisions. One of the changes
streamlines the requirements for conformity SIPs. Under SAFETEA-LU,
states are required to address and tailor only three sections of the
rule in their conformity SIPs: 40 CFR 93.105, 40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii),
and, 40 CFR 93.125(c), described above. In general, states are no
longer required to submit conformity SIP revisions that address the
other sections of the conformity rule. These changes took effect on
August 10, 2005, when SAFETEA-LU was signed into law.

B. Tennessee State Rule

    Previously, Tennessee established a transportation conformity SIP
for the entire state. Specifically, on May 16, 2003, EPA approved a SIP
revision for the State of Tennessee which incorporated by reference 40
CFR part 93 Subpart A, and customized 40 CFR 93.105, 93.122 (a)(4)(ii),
and 93.125(c) for all of the MPOs in the entire state (68 FR 26492).
The conformity SIP revision (the subject of this rulemaking) removes
any incorporation by reference and revises the procedures for
consultation, conflict resolution and public participation to be
consistent with the SAFETEA-LU revisions to the CAA and subsequent
regulations published on January 24, 2008 (73 FR 4420).

C. Chattanooga Conformity SIP

    Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated Hamilton County in
Tennessee, Walker and Catoosa Counties in Georgia, and a portion of
Jackson County, Alabama in the tri-state Chattanooga, Tennessee-Georgia
area (hereafter referred to as the ``Chattanooga Area''), as
nonattainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. See 70 FR
944. The current designation status of the Chattanooga 1997 annual
PM2.5 area is nonattainment.
    The States of Georgia and Alabama have established transportation
conformity procedures for the counties that make up the Georgia and
Alabama portion of the Chattanooga Area in their individual conformity
SIPs. Tennessee's July 2012 SIP revision includes the transportation
conformity consultation, conflict resolution and public participation
procedures for Hamilton County as part of the 1997 annual
PM2.5 Chattanooga Area.

D. Clarksville-Hopkinsville Conformity SIP

    Effective June 15, 2004, EPA designated Christian County, Kentucky
and Montgomery County, Tennessee in the bi-state Clarksville-
Hopkinsville, Tennessee-Kentucky area (hereafter referred to as the
``Clarksville-Hopkinsville Area''), as nonattainment for the 1997 8-
hour ozone NAAQS. See 69 FR 23857. The current designation status for
the Clarksville-Hopkinsville Area is attainment and this area has an
approved maintenance plan.
    The Commonwealth of Kentucky has established conformity procedures
for Christian County that makes up the Kentucky portion of the
Clarksville-Hopkinsville Area in its individual conformity SIP.
Tennessee's July 2012 SIP revision updates the transportation
conformity consultation, conflict resolution and public participation
procedures for Montgomery County, Tennessee as part of the Clarksville-
Hopkinsville Area.

E. Knoxville Conformity SIP

    Effective June 15, 2004, EPA designated 6 whole counties and a
portion of one county in the Knoxville, Tennessee area (hereafter
referred to as the Knoxville Area), as nonattainment for the 1997 8-
hour ozone NAAQS. See 69 FR 23857. The counties include Anderson,
Blount, Jefferson, Knox, Loudon and Sevier counties and a portion of
Cocke County. The current designation status of the Knoxville 1997 8-
hour ozone area is attainment, with an approved maintenance plan.
Effective April 5, 2005, EPA designated 4 whole counties and a portion
of one county in the Knoxville Area as nonattainment for the 1997
annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The counties include Anderson, Blount,
Knox, Loudon counties and a portion of Roane County. See 70 FR 944. On
November 13, 2009, EPA designated 4 whole counties and a portion of one
county in the Knoxville Area as nonattainment for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. The counties include Anderson, Blount, Knox,
Loudon counties and a portion of Roane County. See 74 FR 58688.
Effective July 20, 2012, EPA designated 1 whole county (i.e., Knox
County) and two partial counties (i.e., Blount and Anderson counties)
in the Knoxville Area as nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
See 77 FR 30088. The current designation status of the Knoxville Area
for 1997 annual PM2.5, 2006 24-hour PM2.5, and
the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS is nonattainment.
    The Lakeway Area Metropolitan Transportation Planning Organization
(LAMTPO) \1\ and the Knoxville Regional Transportation Planning
Organization (KRTPO) \2\ are within the same maintenance area for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. KRTPO is the MPO for most of the Knoxville
2008 8-hour ozone area and is the MPO for most of the Knoxville 1997
PM2.5 area. For the purposes of implementing transportation
conformity for the 1997 annual PM2.5, 1997 8-hour ozone and
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS, KRTPO served as the lead agency for the
preparation, consultation, and distribution of the conformity
determinations. Tennessee's July 2012, SIP revision updates the
transportation conformity consultation, conflict resolution and public
participation procedures for the applicable Knoxville areas in relation
to the 1997 annual PM2.5, 1997 8-hour ozone and 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ LAMTPO is the MPO for Jefferson County.
    \2\ KRTPO's planning boundary includes Knox County, and the
urbanized areas of Blount, Loudon, and Sevier counties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

F. Memphis Conformity SIP

    Effective January 6, 1992, EPA designated Shelby County in the
Memphis, Tennessee area as nonattainment for the carbon monoxide NAAQS.
See 56 FR 56694. The current designation status of the area is
attainment with an approved maintenance plan for the carbon monoxide
NAAQS. Effective June 15, 2004, EPA designated Shelby County in
Tennessee, and Crittenden County in Arkansas as nonattainment for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. See 69 FR 23857. This entire area is known as
the bi-state Memphis, Tennessee 1997 8-hour ozone area (hereafter
referred to as the bi-state Memphis Area). The current designation
status for the bi-state Memphis Area for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS is
attainment with an approved maintenance plan. Effective July 20, 2012,
EPA designated 2 whole counties (i.e., Shelby County, Tennessee, and
Crittenden County, Arkansas) and one partial county (i.e., DeSoto
County, Mississippi) in the Memphis Area as

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. See 77 FR 30088.
    The Memphis MPO's planning boundary includes Shelby County,
Tennessee and a portion of DeSoto County, Mississippi. For the purposes
of transportation conformity requirements related to the carbon
monoxide, 1997 8-hour ozone and 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the Memphis
MPO serves as the lead agency for the preparation, consultation, and
distribution of the conformity determinations for the Tennessee and
Mississippi portions of this Area.
    The State of Arkansas has established conformity procedures for
Crittenden County which makes up the Arkansas portion of the bi-state
Memphis Area in its individual conformity SIP. Mississippi is
establishing transportation conformity procedures for the portion of
Desoto County that is included in the Memphis nonattainment area for
the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Tennessee's July 2012 SIP revision updates
the transportation conformity consultation, conflict resolution and
public participation procedures for Shelby County, Tennessee as part of
the Memphis Area.

III. State Submittal and EPA Evaluation

    On July 12, 2012, the State of Tennessee, through TDEC, submitted
updates to the State's transportation conformity and consultation rule
to EPA as a revision to the SIP. This SIP revision deleted the
incorporation by reference to 40 CFR 93 Subpart A, established
procedures for interagency consultation, conflict resolution and public
participation, and included provisions for control and mitigation
measures. This revised conformity SIP replaces the August 31, 2001,
rule amendment that was approved by EPA on May 16, 2003 (68 FR 26492).
    The State of Tennessee developed its consultation rule based on the
elements contained in 40 CFR 93.105. As a first step, the State worked
with the existing transportation planning organization's interagency
committee that included representatives from the State air quality
agency, State Department of Transportation (DOT), United States DOT
(i.e., the Federal Highway Administration--Tennessee Division, and
Federal Transit Administration), the MPOs of the maintenance and
nonattainment areas of Tennessee, and EPA. The interagency committee
met regularly and drafted the consultation rules considering elements
in 40 CFR 93.105, and integrated the local procedures and processes
into the rule. The consultation process developed in this rule is for
the areas of Tennessee described above. In addition, the conformity SIP
includes the provision for written commitment for control measures and
mitigation measures based on 40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii) and 93.125(c),
respectively. On October 20, 2009, APCD held a public hearing for the
transportation conformity rulemaking.
    EPA has evaluated this SIP and has determined that Tennessee has
met the requirements of federal transportation conformity rule as
described in 40 CFR Part 51, Subpart T and 40 CFR Part 93, Subpart A.
APCD has satisfied the public participation and comprehensive
interagency consultation requirement during development and adoption of
the State Rule at the local level. Therefore, EPA is approving the rule
as a revision to the Tennessee SIP. EPA's rule requires the states to
develop their own processes and procedures for interagency consultation
among the federal, state, and local agencies and resolution of
conflicts meeting the criteria in 40 CFR 93.105. The SIP revision must
include processes and procedures to be followed by the MPO, state DOT,
and U.S. DOT in consulting with the state and local air quality
agencies and EPA before making conformity determinations. The
transportation conformity SIP revision must also include processes and
procedures for the state and local air quality agencies and EPA to
coordinate the development of applicable SIPs with MPOs, state DOTs,
and U.S. DOT.
    EPA has reviewed the submittal to assure consistency with the CAA
as amended by SAFETEA-LU and EPA regulations (40 CFR Part 93 and 40 CFR
51.390) governing state procedures for transportation conformity and
interagency consultation and has concluded that the submittal is
approvable. Details of EPA's review are set forth in a technical
support document (TSD), which has been included in the docket for this
action. Specifically, in the TSD, EPA identifies how the submitted
procedures satisfy our requirements under 40 CFR 93.105 for interagency
consultation with respect to the development of transportation plans
and programs, SIPs, and conformity determinations, the resolution of
conflicts, and the provision of adequate public consultation, and the
requirements under 40 CFR 93.122(a)(4)(ii) and 93.125(c) for
enforceability of control measures and mitigation measures.

IV. Final Action

    For the reasons set forth above, EPA is taking action under section
110 of the Act to approve the rule implementing the conformity criteria
and consultation procedures revision to the Tennessee SIP pursuant to
the CAA, as a revision to the Tennessee SIP. As a result of this
action, Tennessee's previously SIP-approved conformity procedures for
Tennessee (68 FR 26492, May 16, 2003), will be replaced by the
procedures submitted to EPA on July 12, 2012, for approval and adopted
by State of Tennessee on January 18, 2012. This action also establishes
consultation procedures for all counties in Tennessee.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should
adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective July 16, 2013
without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by
June 17, 2013.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public
is advised that this rule will be effective on July 16, 2013 and no
further action will be taken on the proposed rule. Please note that if
EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of
the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are
not the subject of an adverse comment.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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.
    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).
    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 July 16, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).

Proposed CERCLA Administrative Settlement Agreement and Order on
Consent for the Mercury Refining Superfund Site, Towns of Guilderland
and Colonie, Albany County, New York

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; request for public comment

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

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 122(i) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as
amended (``CERCLA''), 42 U.S.C. 9622(i), notice is hereby given by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA''), Region 2, of a proposed
de minimis administrative settlement agreement and order on consent
pursuant to Section 122(g)(4)of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9622(g)(4). The
settlement agreement includes settlement of penalties under Section
104(e)(5) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9604(e)(5) under the authority of the
Attorney General of the United States to compromise and settle claims
of the United States. The settlement is between EPA and Titan Wheel
Corporation of Illinois (hereafter ``Titan'') pertaining to the Mercury
Refining Superfund Site (``Site'') located in the Towns of Guilderland
and Colonie, Albany County, New York. The settlement requires Titan to
pay $23,000 to the EPA Hazardous Substance Superfund. The settlement
amount covers Titan's fair share of cleanup costs incurred and
anticipated to be incurred in the future, plus a ``premium'' that
accounts for, among other things, uncertainties associated with the
costs of that future work at the Site plus a penalty for Titan's
failure to comply with an information request letter sent pursuant to
Section 104(e) of CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9604(e). The settlement includes a
covenant not to sue pursuant to Sections 106, 107 and 104(e)(5) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9606, 9607, and 9604(e)(5) relating to the Site,
subject to limited reservations, and protection from contribution
actions or claims as provided by Sections 113(f)(2) and 122(g)(5) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9613(f)(2) and 9622(g)(5). For thirty (30) days
following the date of publication of this notice, EPA will receive
written comments relating to the settlement. EPA will consider all
comments received and may modify or withdraw its consent to the
settlement if comments received disclose facts or considerations that
indicate that the proposed settlement is inappropriate, improper, or
inadequate. EPA's response to any comments received will be available
for public inspection at EPA Region II, 290 Broadway, New York, New
York 10007-1866.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 2, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The proposed settlement is available for public inspection
at EPA Region 2 offices at 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
Comments should be sent to the individual identified below and should
reference the Mercury Refining Superfund Site, Index No. CERCLA-02-

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[SEC File No. 270-818, OMB Control No. 3235-0774]

Proposed Collection; Comment Request; Extension: Amendments to
the National Market System Plan Governing the Consolidated Audit Trail

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of FOIA Services, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC
20549-2736

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (``PRA'') (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') is soliciting comments on the existing
collection of information provided for in connection with amendments
\1\ adopted pursuant to the statutory authority provided by the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, \2\ including sections
11A(a)(3)(B),\3\ 17(a),\4\ 19(b),\5\ and 23(a) \6\ thereof, and
pursuant to Rule 608(a)(2) and (b)(2),\7\ to a National Market System
(NMS) Plan filed with the Commission under Rule 613 (17 CFR 242.613),
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.). The
Commission plans to submit this existing collection of information to
the Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') for extension and
approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 88890 (May 15,
2020), 85 FR 31322 (May 22, 2020) (File No. S7-13-19) (``Adopting
Release'').
    \2\ See 15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.
    \3\ See 15 U.S.C. 78k-1(a)(3)(B).
    \4\ See 15 U.S.C. 78q(a).
    \5\ See 15 U.S.C. 78s(b).
    \6\ See 15 U.S.C. 78w(a).
    \7\ See 17 CFR 242.608(a)(2), (b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The amendments, as adopted, required two new collections of
information:
    a. Implementation Plan. The amendments require the Participants,
within 30 calendar days following the effective date of the amendments,
to prepare, file with the Commission, and make publicly available on a
website a complete CAT implementation plan (``Implementation Plan'')
that includes a detailed timeline for achieving various implementation
milestones.
    b. Quarterly Progress Reports. The amendments require the
Participants, within 30 calendar days after the end of each calendar
quarter, to prepare, file with the Commission, and make publicly
available on a website a complete report (the ``Quarterly Progress
Report'') that provides a detailed and up-to-date description of the
progress made by the Participants toward each of the milestones
identified in the Implementation Plan.
    The one-time information collection associated with the
Implementation Plan was completed by the Participants, so there will be
no further burdens associated with the Implementation Plan. The
Quarterly Progress Report information collection continues.
    There are currently 25 Participants who must complete four
Quarterly Progress Reports per year. The Commission staff estimates
that, on the average, most Quarterly Progress Reports require
approximately 72 hours per Participant, and cost approximately $8,000
per Participant. The Commission staff estimates Participants spend a
total of approximately 7,200 hours per year (25 x 4 x 72) and $800,000
per year (25 x 4 x $8,000) complying with the rule.
    Written comments are invited on: (a) whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of
the functions of the Commission, including whether the information
shall have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the Commission's
estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents, including through the use of automated
collection techniques or other forms of information technology.
Consideration will be given to comments and suggestions submitted by
July 10, 2023.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information under the PRA unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.
    Please direct your written comments to: David Bottom, Director/
Chief Information Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o John
Pezzullo, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to:

a request from the Drug Enforcement Administration for a scientific and

person and submit a brief statement of the general nature of the

meeting, will need to follow the above instructions to request time to
