SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-62521; File No. SR-FINRA-2010-006]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing of Amendment No. 1 to a Proposed Rule
Change and Order Granting Accelerated Approval to a Proposed Rule
Change, as Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Amend the Codes of
Arbitration Procedure To Provide for Attorney Representation of Non-
Party Witnesses in Arbitration

July 16, 2010.

I. Introduction

    On January 22, 2010, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,
Inc. (``FINRA'') (f/k/a National Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. (``NASD'')) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``SEC'' or ``Commission''), pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 19b-4
thereunder, \2\ a proposed rule change to amend Rule 12602 of the Code
of Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes (``Customer Code'') and
Rule 13602 of the Code of Arbitration Procedure for Industry Disputes
(``Industry Code'') (collectively, the ``Codes'') to provide that a
non-party witness may be represented by an attorney at an arbitration
hearing while the witness is testifying. The proposed rule change was
published for comment in the Federal Register on February 23, 2010.\3\
The Commission received three comments in response to the proposed rule
change.\4\ FINRA responded to the comments and on June 14, 2010 filed
Amendment No. 1 to the proposed rule change.\5\ The Commission is
publishing this notice and order to solicit comments on Amendment No. 1
and to approve the proposed rule change, as modified by Amendment No.
1, on an accelerated basis.

Shewan, President, Public Investors Arbitration Bar Association,
dated April 28, 2010 (``PIABA Letter''). The Ryder Letter and the
PIABA Letter were submitted several weeks after the expiration of
the comment period.
    \5\ See Amendment No. 1 dated June 14, 2010 (``Amendment No.
1''). The text of Amendment No. 1 is available on FINRA's Web site
at http:www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA, and on the
Commission's Internet Web site ( http://www.sec.gov.rules.sro.html).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Description of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA proposed to amend Rules 12602 and 13602 of the Codes to
provide that a non-party witness has the right to be represented by an
attorney at an arbitration proceeding held in a United States hearing
location while the witness is testifying. The attorney would have to be
in good standing and admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of
the United States or the highest court of any state of the United
States, the District of Columbia, or any commonwealth, territory, or
possession of the United States, unless state law prohibits such
representation. Under the proposal, the panel would have the authority
to determine the extent to which the attorney could participate at the
hearing.
    While the Codes expressly allow a party in an arbitration
proceeding to be represented by an attorney at any stage in the
proceeding,\6\ they do not address attorney representation of a non-
party witness. As stated in the notice, FINRA

believes that a non-party witness should be entitled to representation
by an attorney while he or she is testifying. Currently, under the
Codes, the arbitration panel determines whether a non-party witness'
attorney may attend a hearing.\7\ A non-party witness may testify at a
hearing: (1) Voluntarily; (2) pursuant to a subpoena; \8\ or (3) in
compliance with an arbitrator's order for an associated person to
appear and give testimony.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Rules 12208 and 13208 of the Codes (Representation of
Parties) provide that parties have the right to be represented by an
attorney at any stage in an arbitration proceeding. They also allow
parties to be represented by a person who is not an attorney subject
to certain limitations.
    \7\ Rules 12602 and 13602 of the Codes (Attendance at Hearings)
provide that parties and their representatives are entitled to
attend all hearings and that, absent persuasive reasons to the
contrary, expert witnesses should also be permitted to attend all
hearings. The panel determines who else may attend any or all
hearings.
    \8\ Rules 12512 and 13512 of the Codes (Subpoenas) provide that
arbitrators have the authority to issue subpoenas for the production
of documents or the appearance of witnesses. The rules permit a
party to make a written motion requesting that an arbitrator issue a
subpoena to a party or a non-party.
    \9\ Rules 12513 and 13513 of the Codes (Authority of Panel to
Direct Appearances of Associated Person Witnesses and Production of
Documents Without Subpoenas) provide that the panel may order the
appearance of any employee or associated person of a FINRA member.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the current Codes, arbitrators determine whether non-party
witnesses can bring an attorney to a hearing. As indicated in the
Notice, FINRA does not believe that arbitrators have been denying
requests by non-party witnesses, including non-party associated
persons,\10\ to be represented by attorneys while testifying;
nevertheless, to assure due process in its dispute resolution forum,
FINRA believes that the Codes should expressly provide that a non-party
witness is entitled to be represented by an attorney while testifying.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The proposed rule change would apply to all non-party
witnesses testifying at a FINRA arbitration hearing, including an
associated person who handled the customer claimant's account but
was not named as a respondent in the case.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Summary of Comment Letters and FINRA's Response

    The Commission received three comments on the proposed rule
change.\11\ Two commenters suggested revisions to the proposed rule
change.\12\ The other commenter generally opposed the proposal and
urged FINRA to withdraw it.\13\ The Commission also received FINRA's
response to comments, which is discussed below.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See note 4, supra.
    \12\ Cornell Letter; PIABA Letter. The Cornell Letter expressed
support for the proposed rule change subject to modification. The
PIABA Letter indicated that it did not support the proposed rule in
its current form.
    \13\ Ryder Letter.
    \14\ Letter from Margo A. Hassan, FINRA, dated April 1, 2010
(addressing the Cornell Letter) (``FINRA Letter I''). Because the
Ryder and PIABA Letters were submitted after the expiration of the
comment period, FINRA responded to these comments in a separate
letter. See letter from Margo Hassan, FINRA, dated June 14, 2010
(``FINRA Letter II'') (collectively with FINRA Letter I, ``FINRA's
Response'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    One commenter supported FINRA's efforts to consider due process
protections for non-party witnesses.\15\ However, the commenter also
expressed concern that unless FINRA adopts guidelines for arbitrators,
the arbitration process could be impeded by attorneys for non-party
witnesses using scheduling conflicts to delay an arbitration or
``overstepping'' their role with inappropriate objections not
necessarily tied to their clients' testimony. This commenter suggested
amending the proposal to limit the role of a non-party witness'
attorney, absent extraordinary circumstances, to matters concerning
privilege and conflicts arising under Fifth Amendment protections
against self-incrimination.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ Cornell Letter.
    \16\ Id. The commenter also indicated that attorneys for non-
party witnesses should not be able to participate generally in the
proceedings or cross-examine witnesses.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Another commenter did not support the proposal and suggested an
amending it to limit the role of a non-party witness' attorney.\17\
Specifically, this commenter suggested that attorneys for non-party
witnesses should not be permitted to participate in an arbitration
hearing or advocate on behalf of any particular party (e.g.,
interjecting argument in the case or offering input or assistance to
counsel for any other party) other than to raise an objection on behalf
of a non-party witnesses based on privileges that have been well-
accepted at the federal and state court level.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ PIABA Letter
    \18\ The commenter listed the following non-exclusive privileges
from state and federal courts: attorney-client privilege, work
product doctrine, spousal privilege, clergy privilege and
accountant-client privilege. See PIABA Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The third commenter did not support the proposal stating that: (1)
The proposal is unnecessary because arbitrators have apparently not
been denying requests for representation from non-party witnesses; (2)
FINRA's references to ``due process'' are inappropriate because
arbitration proceedings are not designed to be structured as judicial
proceedings; (3) the proposal would reduce control by arbitrators, add
confusion and protract the process (e.g., by adding time for developing
bar qualifications for eligibility of counsel to participate in each
respective arbitration forum); and (4) FINRA has not adequately
justified its basis for the proposal.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ Ryder Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA submitted Amendment No. 1 in response to comments.\20\
Amendment No. 1 generally provides that unless otherwise authorized by
the arbitration panel, the role of the attorney for a non-party witness
would be limited to asserting recognized privileges such as the
attorney-client and work product privileges and the privilege against
self-incrimination.\21\ FINRA indicated that Amendment No. 1 would
provide additional guidance to parties and arbitrators about the role
of a non-party witnesses' attorney while maintaining an arbitrator's
authority and ability to determine the appropriate level of attorney
representation at a hearing.\22\ FINRA reiterated that it continually
reviews the Codes to enhance its case administration processes and
ensure that its forum is fair to all participants.\23\ In addition,
FINRA indicated that it strives to improve the Codes before problems
arise and to this end the proposal would close a gap in the Codes
relating to non-party witness representation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ FINRA Letter II.
    \21\ Id.
    \22\ FINRA's Response.
    \23\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Discussion and Commission Findings

    After carefully considering the proposal, as amended by Amendment
No. 1, the comments, and FINRA's Response, the Commission finds that
the proposed rule change is consistent with the requirements of the
Act, and the rules and regulations thereunder that are applicable to a
national securities association.\24\ In particular, the Commission
believes the proposed rule change is consistent with the provisions of
Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\25\ which requires, among other things,
that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent and
manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. The proposed rule change is consistent with FINRA's
statutory obligations under the Act to protect investors and the public
interest because it would enhance the fairness in the arbitration
process by clarifying that a non-party witness may be represented by
counsel during his or her testimony.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \24\ In approving this proposal, the Commission has considered
the proposed rule's impact on efficiency, competition, and capital
formation. See 15 U.S.C. 17c(f).
    \25\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission believes that FINRA has adequately addressed the
concerns raised by the commenters. With respect

to the concern that the proposal is unnecessary because abuses have not
been witnessed, the Commission notes that its oversight of the
securities arbitration process is directed at ensuring that it is fair
and efficient. The Commission believes that FINRA's proactive approach
in proposing this rule change is consistent with ensuring a fair and
efficient arbitration process for all persons involved in arbitration,
including non-party witnesses.
    Moreover, the Commission believes the concern that the proposal
would reduce control by arbitrators, add confusion and protract the
process will be mitigated by Amendment No. 1. Under the proposal, as
modified by Amendment No. 1, the role of attorneys for non-party
witnesses will generally be limited to asserting recognized privileges
on behalf of the non-party witness; however, the arbitration panel will
maintain overall control over the proceeding, including the ability to
determine the appropriate level of attorney representation at a
hearing. Further, FINRA has committed to alerting arbitrators to
concerns regarding delayed or protracted proceedings.
    Finally, the Commission does not agree that FINRA has not
adequately justified its basis for the proposal. The Commission
believes that FINRA's justification of enhancing fairness in the
arbitration process by ensuring that a non-party witness may be
represented by counsel during his or her testimony is consistent with
the requirements of the Act.

V. Accelerated Approval

    The Commission finds goods cause, pursuant to Section 19(b)(2) of
the Act,\26\ for approving the proposed rule change, as modified by
Amendment No. 1 thereto, prior to the 30th day after publication of
Amendment No.1 in the Federal Register. The changes proposed in
Amendment No.1 respond to specific concerns raised by commenters. In
particular, Amendment No. 1 proposes to limit the role of a non-party
witness attorney, unless otherwise authorized by the arbitration panel,
to the assertion of recognized privileges such as the attorney-client
and work product privilege and the privilege against self-
incrimination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \26\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Accordingly, the Commission finds that good cause exists to approve
the proposal, as modified by Amendment No. 1, on an accelerated basis.

VI. Solicitation of Comments

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Project No. 12713-002]

Reedsport OPT Wave Park, LLC; Oregon; Notice of Availability of
Environmental Assessment

December 3, 2010.
    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and

the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC's)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380 (Order No. 486, 52 FR 47897), the Office
of Energy Projects has reviewed Reedsport OPT Wave Park, LLC's
application for license for the Reedsport OPT Wave Park Project (FERC
Project No. 12713-002), which would be located in Oregon State
territorial waters about 2.5 nautical miles off the coast near
Reedsport, in Douglas County, Oregon.
    Staff prepared an environmental assessment (EA), which analyzes the
potential environmental effects of licensing the project and concludes
that licensing the project, with appropriate environmental protective
measures, would not constitute a major federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA is available for review at the Commission in the
Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket

Dear Mr. Hunt,

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has reviewed the above referenced operating permit significant modification application (Conemaugh Generating Station TV-32-00059) and has identified the following technical deficiencies.  This information is required pursuant to 25 Pa. Code §127.541.

 The following data should be supplied for all hours during the years 2017 to 2020 in an electronic format, preferably in an excel spreadsheet. This data should be given in hourly increments in a form that it can easily be added to the publicly available CAMD data (sample attached).
          The hourly exhaust temperature at the inlet to the SCR for each unit

          The hourly ammonia injection rate

 Please provide SCR operations and maintenance manual. If you wish to keep certain information confidential, please see the Confidential Business Information (CBI) Procedure, below.

      Confidential Business Information (CBI) Procedure

      Any CBI claims must be addressed at the time of submittal.  Please be aware that DEP has a specific procedure for deciding confidentiality requests from source owners made under Section 13.2 of the Air Pollution Control Act (APCA), 35 P.S. Section 4013.2.  This procedure requires that source owners submit their request in writing to DEP.  The request must specifically designate which items of information the source owner wishes DEP to treat confidentially, along with a reason why those items should be treated in this manner.  The word "confidential" on a page or plan sheet submitted to DEP has no validity by itself.  Each item must be identified, and justification presented per Section 13.2 of the APCA for why it warrants confidential treatment.

             Pursuant to Section 13.2 of the APCA, information can generally qualify for confidential treatment if it is not emission data and if disclosure of the information would divulge production or sales figures or methods, or would divulge a unique process or production, or would otherwise adversely affect competitive position by revealing trade secrets.

             In order to request confidential treatment for information in any document, you must submit a redacted version of the relevant document with the confidential information blacked out (and thus suitable for public disclosure), along with a letter of request containing a table identifying the page and line number of each redaction, along with a justification for each redacted item as to why it should be deemed confidential under the specific criteria allowed under Section 13.2 of the APCA.  Please see the Example Confidential Information Log to use as a guide when submitting your confidentiality justifications.

             DEP's final decision on any CBI request will be sent to you in writing, along with a notice of appeal rights in the event the request is denied.  Please be aware that if you do not provide adequate justification for each redacted item such that it meets one of the specific criteria for confidential treatment under Section 13.2 of the APCA, your request may be denied.

Example Confidential Information Log

Description
Basis for Confidential Treatment as Identified in the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act,
35 P.S. § 4013.2

You must submit a response fully addressing the significant technical deficiencies set forth above within 15 business days of receipt of this letter or the Department may deny the application.

If you believe that any of the stated deficiencies is not significant, instead of submitting a response to that deficiency, you have the option of asking the Department to make a decision based on the information with regard to the subject matter of that deficiency that you have already made available.  If you choose this option with regard to any deficiency, you should explain and justify how your current submission satisfies that deficiency.  Please keep in mind that if you fail to respond, your application may be denied.

Should you have any questions regarding the identified deficiencies, please contact me at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or David Balog at<PHONE_NUMBER> or<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and refer to TV-32-00059 to discuss your concerns or to schedule a meeting.  The meeting must be scheduled within the 15-day period allotted for your reply, unless otherwise extended by the Department.  You may also follow your application through the review process via eFACTS on the Web at:  http//www.ahs2.dep.state.pa.us/eFactsWeb/default.aspx.

[EPA-R03-OAR-2012-0982; FRL-9777-2]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Maryland; Amendments to Maryland's Ambient Air Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the
State of Maryland State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions
pertain to adoption through incorporation by reference of the national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) by the State of Maryland. EPA is
approving these revisions that adopt the NAAQS for ozone
(O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide
(NO2), lead (Pb), particulate matter (PM) and carbon
monoxide (CO) as well as the relevant reference and equivalent
monitoring methods through incorporation by reference into the Code of
Maryland regulations (COMAR) on an ``as amended'' basis which will
prospectively incorporate all future revisions and additions to the
NAAQS in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on April 12, 2013 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse written comment by March 13, 2013. If EPA
receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public that
the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number EPA-
R03-OAR-2012-0982 by one of the following methods:
    A. www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-line instructions for
submitting comments.

directly to EPA without going through www.regulations.gov, your email
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the
comment that is placed in the public docket and made available on the
Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you
include your name and other contact information in the body of your
comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On November 15, 2012, the State of Maryland submitted a formal
revision (SIP Revision 12-07) to its SIP. The SIP revision
consists of the adoption of the revisions since 2006 of the following
NAAQS along with the associated definitions, reference conditions, and
methods of measurement associated with these NAAQS: PM, SO2,
NO2, Pb and O3.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    This SIP revision updates Maryland's SIP to incorporate the
following revisions to the NAAQS which were promulgated since 2006:
    (1) The revised NAAQS for PM (71 FR 61224, Oct. 17, 2006) and the
applicable definitions, reference conditions, and methods of
measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 53, and 58;
    (2) the NAAQS for Pb (73 FR 67052, Nov. 12, 2008) and the
applicable definitions, reference conditions, and methods of
measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 51, 53 and 58;
    (3) the revised NAAQS for O3 (73 FR 16511, Mar. 27,
2008) and the applicable definitions, reference conditions, and methods
of measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50 and 58;
    (4) the revised NAAQS for NO2 (75 FR 6531, Feb. 9, 2010)
and the applicable definitions, reference conditions, and methods of
measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50 and 58; and
    (5) the revised NAAQS for SO2 (75 FR 35592, June 22,
2010) and the definitions, reference conditions, and methods of
measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 53 and 58;
    In addition, Maryland's SIP revision submittal seeks to incorporate
by reference the NAAQS of 40 CFR part 50 prospectively in order for
Maryland's ambient air quality standards to be identical at all times
to the NAAQS as well as the pertinent definitions, ambient air
monitoring reference and equivalent methods in 40 CFR parts 51, 53 and
58. Therefore, whenever EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS in 40
CFR part 50 or revisions to the applicable definitions, ambient air
monitoring reference and equivalent methods in 40 CFR parts 51, 53 and
58, the Maryland SIP will automatically reflect such additions and
revisions without further action by the State of Maryland or EPA.
    Specifically, this revision includes the following changes to Title
26--Department of The Environment, Subtitle 11--Air Quality, Chapter 04
Ambient Air Quality Standards (COMAR 26.11.04):
    (1) The deletion of Regulation .04 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for PM;
    (2) the deletion of Regulation .05 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for SO2;
    (3) the deletion of Regulation .06 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for CO;
    (4) the deletion of Regulation .07 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for O3;
    (5) the deletion of Regulation .08 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for NO2;
    (6) the deletion of Regulation .09 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
ambient air quality standards for Pb;
    (7) the deletion of Regulation .02 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) relating to
definitions, reference conditions, and methods of measurement as those
specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 53, and 58 of the 2003 edition;
    (8) the deletion of Regulation 02 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) which stated
that ``Regulations .03-.09 [COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>-.09] of this chapter
contain State-adopted National Ambient Air Quality Standards'' which no
longer has any substantive value because the regulations it cites have
been repealed; and
    (9) the addition of a new Regulation .02 (COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>) which
specifies that the ambient air quality standards, definitions,
reference conditions, and methods of measurement are those specified in
40 CFR parts 50, 51, 53, and 58, ``as amended.'' Maryland uses the
phrase ``as amended'' in COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> so that future versions of
these regulations are adopted prospectively. See Maryland's
``Incorporation By Reference (IBR) Manual,'' (Revised 7/2009)
(available at http://www.dsd.state.md.us/mdregister/IBRManual.pdf).
    EPA finds that Maryland has adequately incorporated by reference
the NAAQS and related definitions, reference conditions, and methods of
measurement as specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 51, 53, and 58, and,
through the use of the phrase ``as amended'' in the COMAR regulatory
text, is incorporating by reference future amendments to the NAAQS and
related definitions, reference conditions, and methods of measurement
specified in 40 CFR parts 50, 51, 53, and 58.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the November 15, 2012 SIP revision which includes
amendments to COMAR 26.11.04 into the State of Maryland SIP. EPA is
publishing this rule without prior proposal because EPA views this as a
noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However,
in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register, EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will
be effective on April 12, 2013 without further notice unless EPA
receives adverse comment by March 13, 2013. If EPA receives adverse
comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

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 April 12, 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 to approve amendments to COMAR 26.11.04 Ambient
Air Quality Standards may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
