ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OW-2018-0618; FRL-9983-27-OW]

Public Meeting on EPA's Study of Oil and Gas Extraction
Wastewater Management

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will host a public
meeting to obtain input on its Study of Oil and Gas Extraction
Wastewater Management. In May 2018, EPA initiated a study to evaluate
approaches to managing both conventional and unconventional oil and gas
extraction wastewaters generated at onshore facilities. EPA's study
will address questions such as how existing federal approaches to
produced water management under the Clean Water Act can interact more
effectively with state and tribal regulations, what requirements or
policy updates are needed, and whether support exists for potential
federal regulations that may allow for broader discharge of treated
produced water to surface waters. A key component of the study is to
engage with stakeholders to solicit information from their individual
perspectives on topics surrounding produced water management. This
spring and summer, EPA met with various stakeholders across the
country. This public meeting is the next step in EPA's outreach. During
this meeting, EPA will report on what it has learned to date and
provide stakeholders the opportunity to provide additional input. For
more information on the meeting and the study, see the SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION section of this notice.

DATES: The public meeting will be held on October 9, 2018, from 10:30
a.m. to 4 p.m., Eastern Time. The meeting will begin with EPA's status
report on the study. This will be followed by a panel discussion on the
work happening across the federal family to coordinate federal
resources and reduce duplication on cross-cutting water issues. The
public input session will begin at 12:30 p.m.

ADDRESSES: The meeting will be held at William J. Clinton Building--
East, Room 1153, 1201 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jan Matuszko, Engineering and Analysis
Division, Office of Water, email [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For more information about the study, see
EPA's website at https://www.epa.gov/eg/study-oil-and-gas-extraction-wastewater-management.
    Participating in the meeting: The public is invited to speak during
the October 9 public meeting. Those wishing to attend and/or speak can
register at [email protected]. Please provide your name,
organization, email address and indicate whether you plan to speak.

through the Kentucky Energy and Environment Cabinet (Cabinet) on June
15, 2022. The changes were submitted by the Cabinet on behalf of the
Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District (District, also
referred to herein as Jefferson County). The District's revision
modifies the permit application timing requirements in the Federally
Enforceable District Origin Operating Permits (FEDOOP) rule in the
Jefferson County portion of the Kentucky SIP (Jefferson County Local
Implementation Plan, or LIP). EPA is finalizing these changes pursuant
to the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Overview

    On June 15, 2022, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted changes to
the Jefferson County LIP for EPA approval.\1\ \2\ EPA is approving
changes to Section 4--Permit Applications of the District's Regulation
2.17--Federally Enforceable District Origin Operating Permits.\3\ Under
Regulation 2.17, Section 1.1, a FEDOOP is an operating permit that
contains a federally enforceable condition, limit, or provision that is
issued to a stationary source that is not, or would not subsequently
be, required to obtain a permit under Regulation 2.16--Title V
Operating Permits.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA received this submission on June 13, 2022, in a letter
dated June 15, 2022. Throughout this final rulemaking, this
submission will be referred to as the June 15, 2022, submission.
    \2\ In 2003, the City of Louisville and Jefferson County
governments merged, and the ``Jefferson County Air Pollution Control
District'' was renamed the ``Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control
District.'' However, to be consistent with the terminology used in
the subheading in Table 2 of 40 CFR 52.920(c), throughout this
notice we refer to regulations contained in the Jefferson County
portion of the Kentucky SIP as the ``Jefferson County'' regulations.
    \3\ The June 15, 2022, submittal contains changes to other
Kentucky SIP-approved rules that are not addressed in this notice.
EPA will act on those rules in separate actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The changes in the June 15, 2022, submission add timing
requirements for sources applying for FEDOOP permits that are similar
to those in Regulation 2.16. Through a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) published on December 27, 2022 (87 FR 79261), EPA proposed to
approve these changes as being consistent with the CAA. Additional
details on Kentucky's June 15, 2022, revision and EPA's analysis of the
changes can be found in the December 27, 2022, NPRM. Comments on the
December 27, 2022, NPRM were due on or before January 26, 2023. EPA
received one anonymous comment on the NPRM. That comment was unrelated
to the specifics of the NPRM.

II. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, and as discussed in Section I of this preamble, EPA is
finalizing the incorporation by reference of Jefferson County
Regulation 2.17--Federally Enforceable District Origin Operating
Permits, version 5, with a local-effective date of March 16, 2022,
which adds timing requirements to the permit application process. EPA
has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). Therefore,
these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the aforementioned changes to Regulation 2.17--
Federally Enforceable District Origin Operating Permits, with a local-
effective date of March 16, 2022, into the Jefferson County LIP. EPA is
approving these changes because they are consistent with the CAA.

IV. 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. See 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. 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);
     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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian

country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
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 May 1, 2023. 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).

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-63685; File No. SR-NASDAQ-2010-074]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC;
Notice of Designation of Longer Period for Commission Action on
Proceedings To Determine Whether To Disapprove Proposed Rule Change, as
Modified by Amendment No. 1, To Adopt Rule 4753(c) as a Six Month Pilot
in 100 NASDAQ-Listed Securities

January 10, 2011.

I. Introduction

    On June 18, 2010, The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (``Nasdaq'' or the
``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``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 implement, on a six-month pilot basis, a
volatility-based trading pause in 100 Nasdaq-listed securities
(``Volatility Guard''). On June 25, 2010, Nasdaq filed Amendment No. 1
to the proposed rule change. The proposed rule change, as amended, was
published for comment in the Federal Register on July 15, 2010.\3\ The
Commission received four comment letters on the proposal.\4\ Nasdaq
responded to these comments on August 12, 2010.\5\ The Commission
subsequently extended the time period in which to either approve the
proposed rule change, or to institute proceedings to determine whether
to disapprove the proposed rule change, to October 13, 2010.\6\ On
October 13, 2010, the Commission issued an order instituting
disapproval proceedings.\7\ The Commission thereafter received one
comment letter, which requested that the proposed rule change be
disapproved.\8\

    Section 19(b)(2) of the Act \9\ provides that, after initiating
dispproval proceedings, the Commission shall issue an order approving
or disapproving the proposed rule change not later than 180 days after
the date of publication of notice of the filing of the proposed rule
change. The Commission may extend the period for issuing an order
approving or disapproving the proposed rule change, however, by not
more than 60 days if the Commission determines that a longer period is
appropriate and publishes the reasons for such determination. The
proposed rule change was published for notice and comment in the
Federal Register on July 15, 2010. January 11, 2011 is 180 days from
that date, and March 12, 2011, is an additional 60 days from that date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Commission finds it appropriate to designate a longer period
within which to issue an order approving or disapproving the proposed
rule change so that it has sufficient time to consider this proposed
rule change and the issues raised in the comment letters that have been
submitted in connection with this filing. Specifically, the Commission
believes the proposal raises issues as to whether the Volatility Guard,
by halting trading on Nasdaq when the price of a security moves quickly
over a short period of time, will exacerbate the volatility of trading
in that security on the other exchanges and over-the-counter trading
centers that remain open. In addition, because the thresholds for
triggering the Volatility

Guard, and the length of the trading halt that results, differ from
those of the recently approved, market-wide single-stock circuit
breakers, the Commission believes the proposal raises issues as to
whether the operation of the Volatility Guard will interfere with, or
