SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is planning to submit an
information collection request (ICR), ``EPA's ENERGY STAR Program in
the Commercial and Industrial Sectors'' (EPA ICR No. 1772.08, OMB
Control No. 2060-0347), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act.
Before doing so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects
of the proposed information collection as described below. This is a
proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through
September 30, 2019. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person
is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 11, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2006-0407, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), by
email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or by mail to: EPA Docket Center,
Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania
Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the
public docket without change including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

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.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who are to respond, including
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate.
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: EPA created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help
businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior
energy efficiency. The program focuses on reducing utility-generated
emissions by reducing the demand for energy. In 1991, EPA launched the
Green Lights Program to encourage corporations, State and local
governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to
adopt energy-efficient lighting as a profitable means of preventing
pollution and improving lighting quality. Since then, EPA has rolled
Green Lights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass
organization-wide energy performance improvement, such as building
technology upgrades, product purchasing initiatives, and employee
training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting
requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for
improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR awards program). EPA also makes tools
and other resources available over the Web to help the public overcome
the barriers to evaluating their energy performance and investing in
profitable improvements.
    To join ENERGY STAR, organizations are asked to complete a
Partnership Application that establishes their commitment to energy
efficiency. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as measuring,
tracking, and benchmarking their organization's energy performance by
using tools such as those offered by ENERGY STAR; developing and
implementing a plan to improve energy performance in their facilities
and operations by adopting a strategy provided by ENERGY STAR; and
educating staff and the public about their Partnership with ENERGY
STAR, and highlighting achievements with the ENERGY STAR, where
available.
    Partners also may be asked to periodically submit information to
EPA as needed to assist in program implementation.
    Partnership in ENERGY STAR is voluntary and can be terminated by
Partners or EPA at any time. EPA does not expect organizations to join
the program unless they expect participation to be cost effective and
otherwise beneficial for them.
    In addition, Partners and other interested parties can seek
recognition and help EPA promote energy-efficient technologies by
evaluating the efficiency of their buildings using EPA's on-line tools
(e.g., Portfolio Manager) and applying for recognition. EPA does not
expect any information collected under ENERGY STAR to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WV106-6044; FRL-9983-55-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

West Virginia; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; administrative change.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the

materials that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the West

Virginia state implementation plan (SIP). The regulations affected by

this update have been previously submitted by the West Virginia

Department of Environmental Protection (WV DEP) and approved by EPA.

This update affects the SIP materials that are available for public

inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)

and the EPA Regional Office.

DATES: This action is effective October 18, 2018.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40

CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations:

Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region

III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; and the

National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For information on

the availability of this material at NARA, call<PHONE_NUMBER>, or go to:

http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html. EPA requests that you email the contact listed in

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin Trouba,<PHONE_NUMBER> or by

email at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies

used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards

(NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air

pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring

networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.

    Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies

in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them

and then submit the proposed SIP revisions to EPA. Once these control

measures and strategies are approved by EPA, and after notice and

comment, they are incorporated into the federally-approved SIP and are

identified in part 52 ``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation

Plans,'' title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR part 52).

The full text of the state regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced

in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but is ``incorporated by

reference.'' This means that EPA has approved a given state regulation

with a specific effective date. The public is referred to the location

of the full text version should they want to know which measures are

contained in a given SIP. The information provided allows EPA and the

public to monitor the extent to which a state implements a SIP to

attain and maintain the NAAQS and to take enforcement action if

necessary.

    The SIP is a living document which a state revises as necessary to

address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA, from time to

time, must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised

regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968),

EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference federally-

approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office

of the Federal Register (OFR). The description of the revised SIP

document, IBR procedures and ``Identification of plan'' format are

discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997, Federal Register

document. On February 10, 2005 (70 FR 7024), EPA published a Federal

Register beginning the new IBR procedure for West Virginia. On February

28, 2007 (72 FR 8903), February 10, 2009 (74 FR 6542), December 28,

2010 (75 FR 81474), July 25, 2013 (78 FR 44884), and June 14, 2017 (82

FR 27118) EPA published updates to the IBR material for West Virginia.

Since the publication of the last IBR update, EPA has approved into the

SIP the following regulatory changes to the following West Virginia

regulations:

A. Added Regulations

    None.

B. Revised Regulations

1. 45 CSR 8 (Ambient Air Quality Standards)

2. 45 CSR 14 (Permits for Construction and Major Modification of Major

Stationary Sources of Air Pollution for the Prevention of Significant

Deterioration)

C. Removed Regulations

1. 45 CSR 39 (Control of Annual Nitrogen Oxide Emissions to Mitigate

Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Nitrogen Oxides)

2. 45 CSR 41 (Control of Annual Sulfur Dioxides Emissions)

3. In 52.2520 paragraph (d) Source Specific Requirements for West

Virginia, there was a removal of source-specific SIP requirements for

the following five facilities in West Virginia that had permanently

shutdown: Mountaineer Carbon Company; Standard Lafarge; Follansbee

Steel Corporation; International Mill Service, Inc.; and Columbian

Chemicals Company.

II. EPA Action

    In this action, EPA is announcing the update to the IBR material as

of May 1, 2018 and revising the text within 40 CFR 52.2520(b). In

addition, notice is provided of correcting Federal Register citations

listed in the Table (c) paragraph of 40 CFR 52.2520, as described: A.

Under the ``EPA approval date'' EPA is correcting numerous Federal

Register citation locations to reflect the first page of the preamble

opposed to the regulatory text page for West Virginia regulations 45

CSR Series 8 and 45 CSR Series 14.

III. Good Cause Exemption

    EPA has determined that this rule falls under the ``good cause''

exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act

(APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to

dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows

an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the

30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). This

rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter

of law in federal and approved state programs. Under section 553 of the

APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are ``impractical,

unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Public comment is

``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' since the

codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR

benefits the public by

removing outdated citations and incorrect table entries.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes

incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of previously

EPA approved regulations promulgated by the State of West Virginia and

federally effective prior to May 1, 2018. EPA has made, and will

continue to make, these materials generally available through

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III Office (please contact

the person identified in the For Further Information Contact section of

this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under the Clean Air Act (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 Orders

12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,

2011);

     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,

2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under

Executive Order 12866.

     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 rule 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. This rule is not a

``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of

the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable

to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual

component of the West Virginia SIP compilations had previously afforded

interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial

review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate

circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no

need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such

petitions for judicial review for this ``Identification of plan''

update action for West Virginia.

[Docket No. CP21-113-000]

Alliance Pipeline, L.P.; Notice of Revised Schedule for
Environmental Review of the Proposed Three Rivers Interconnection
Project

    This notice provides the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission
staff's revised schedule for completion of the final environmental
impact statement (EIS) for Alliance Pipeline L.P.'s (Alliance) Three
Rivers Interconnection Project. The first notice of schedule, issued on
February 10, 2022, identified September 16, 2022 as the final EIS
issuance date. The Project would be located in the vicinity of a
facility regulated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission which required
the completion of a safety analysis to determine if the action would
impact safe operation of the facility.\1\ The findings of this
assessment and any subsequent actions or requirements were necessary
for staff to complete the final EIS for the project. On November 16,
2022, Alliance submitted a summary of the findings of the completed
safety analysis and staff has revised the schedule for issuance of the
final EIS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On September 15, 2022 the Commission issued a notice
suspending the environmental review schedule for the Three Rivers
Interconnection Project based upon the required safety analysis
having not been completed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Schedule for Environmental Review

Issuance of the Notice of Availability of the final EIS--January 13,
2023

    \2\ The Commission's deadline applies to the decisions of other
federal agencies, and state agencies acting under federally
delegated authority, that are responsible for federal
authorizations, permits, and other approvals necessary for proposed
projects under the Natural Gas Act. Per 18 CFR 157.22(a), the
Commission's deadline for other agency's decisions applies unless a
schedule is otherwise established by federal law.

    If a schedule change becomes necessary, an additional notice will
be provided so that the relevant agencies are kept informed of the
project's progress.
