I. Does this action apply to me? No entities will be affected by this final action. The EPA is amending its PSD regulations to correct the fourth-level paragraph designations from the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) to conform with the OFR requirements. The EPA is responsible for making the required paragraph codification corrections in the EPA PSD regulations and communicating those corrections to stakeholders, including state, local, and Tribal (SLT) permitting authorities and regulated entities. SLT permitting authorities are not required to make corresponding corrections to any of their regulations implementing the PSD program including those approved by the EPA into a State Implementation Plan (SIP). II. Background and Rationale for This Action Part C of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA), 42 U.S.C. 7470 et seq., contains the requirements for a component of the major New Source Review (NSR) program known as the PSD program. This program sets forth procedures for the preconstruction review and permitting of new and modified stationary sources of air pollution located in areas meeting the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) (“attainment” areas) and areas for which there is insufficient information to classify an area as either attainment or nonattainment (“unclassifiable” areas). The EPA's PSD regulations are contained in 40 CFR Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484287 51.166 (applicable to air agencies that issue permits under EPA-approved SIPs) and 40 CFR 52.21 (applicable to permits issued by the EPA or air agencies that have received delegation to implement the federal PSD program). In 2019, the OFR identified that the paragraph codification scheme of these PSD regulations was inconsistent with OFR requirements, and the EPA committed to correcting this inconsistency. However, recently as part of OFR's review of the proposed rule: “Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR): Regulations Related to Project Emissions Accounting” (RIN 2060-AV62), the OFR determined that the EPA had not yet made the corrections. To resolve the OFR's concerns, the EPA is revising the PSD regulations to conform with the OFR requirements 1 through this ministerial final rule action to correct the fourth-level paragraph designations. Specifically, this rule will correct the fourth-level paragraph codification in 40 CFR 51.166 and 40 CFR 52.21 from ( a ), et seq., to (A), et seq. In other words, the fourth-level paragraph designations will be changed from lowercase italicized letters to uppercase non-italicized letters. 1 Document Drafting Handbook, August 2018 Edition (Revised 2.1, dated October 2023), Office of the Federal Register, National Archives and Records Administration. The error in the fourth-level paragraph codification in the EPA's PSD regulations can be traced back to their inception in the 1970s. On December 5, 1974, the EPA published the first set of PSD regulations under the CAA Amendments of 1970. 2 These regulations were codified at 40 CFR 52.21 and established a program for protecting areas with air quality either in attainment with the NAAQS or unclassifiable. A comprehensive set of new PSD requirements were later adopted by Congress as part of the CAA Amendments of 1977. 3 The EPA amended the PSD regulations to incorporate those new statutory requirements on June 19, 1978 (43 FR 26380 and 43 FR 26388). These regulations were codified at 40 CFR 51.24 (minimum requirements for state plans, later codified at 40 CFR 51.166 4 ) and 40 CFR 52.21 (federal PSD regulations). The PSD regulations were subsequently revised numerous times, but the fourth-level paragraph designations have remained inconsistent with the OFR requirements. 5 This ministerial final rule will correct the paragraph designation inconsistencies that were established decades ago in the EPA's PSD regulations to conform with the OFR requirements. 2 CAA Amendments of 1970, Public Law 91-604, 84 Stat. 1676 (1970); 39 FR 42510. 3 CAA Amendments of 1977, Public Law 95-95, 91 Stat. 685 (1977). 4 51 FR 40656 (November 7, 1986). 5 See 40 CFR 51.166 and 40 CFR 52.21 (July 1, 2023). III. Final Action The EPA is promulgating this rule as a final rule without prior notice or opportunity for public comment pursuant to the good cause exemption under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) section 553(b)(B). 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). Generally, the APA requires that general notice of proposed rulemaking be published in the Federal Register and such notice must provide an opportunity for public participation in the rulemaking process. However, the APA also allows an agency to directly promulgate a final rulemaking when an agency for good cause finds (and incorporates the finding and a brief statement of reasons in the rule issued) that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B). The EPA has determined that this final action meets the “unnecessary” basis for using the good cause exemption since amendments promulgated in this action are very minor and do not substantively alter the regulation in any way that would be of interest to the regulated community or the public. This final action involves purely ministerial revisions to the PSD regulations in 40 CFR 51.166 and 40 CFR 52.21 involving minor structural corrections to conform with the OFR paragraph designation requirements. Specifically, the fourth-level paragraph designations will be corrected from lowercase italicized letters to uppercase non-italicized letters. The OFR paragraph designation requirements are established by the OFR; therefore, EPA has no discretion but to correct the affected paragraph designations in the EPA PSD regulations. Notice and comment requirements are unnecessary because seeking public comment on this issue would neither inform the public of agency action that may be of interest nor provide the agency with information that would be helpful in developing a final rule. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders can be found at https://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders. A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review This action is not a significant regulatory action as defined in Executive Order 12866, as amended by Executive Order 14094, and was, therefore, not subject to Executive Order 12866 review. B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) This action involves very minor technical corrections and does not impose any new information collection burden under the PRA. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information collection activities contained in the existing regulations and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0003. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) This action is not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to rules subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. This rule is not subject to notice and comment requirements because the Agency has invoked the APA “good cause” exemption under 5 U.S.C. 553(b). D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) This action does not contain an unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action implements mandate(s) specifically and explicitly set forth in 44 U.S.C. 15 and 1 CFR chapter I without the exercise of any policy discretion by the EPA. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. This action only makes very minor technical amendments to correct non-substantive errors in existing regulations. None of these very minor technical amendments has a substantial direct effect on any tribal Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484288 land. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of “covered regulatory action” in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. Therefore, this action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental health risk or safety risk. Since this action does not concern human health, EPA's Policy on Children's Health also does not apply. H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations and Executive Order 14096: Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to Environmental Justice for All The EPA finds that this action does not concern human health or environmental conditions and therefore cannot be evaluated with respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on communities with environmental justice concerns. This action changes the fourth-level paragraph designation of the EPA's PSD regulations contained in 40 CFR 51.166 and 40 CFR 52.21 to conform with OFR requirements. This action makes very minor technical amendments to correct non-substantive errors in existing rules. K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The CRA allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and comment rulemaking procedures are impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). The EPA has made a good cause finding for this rule as discussed in the Final Action section of this rulemaking, including the basis for that finding. V. Statutory Authority Statutory authority to issue the amendments finalized in this action is provided by the same CAA provisions that provided authority to issue the regulations being amended: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Statutory authority for the rulemaking procedures followed in this action is provided by APA section 553, 5 U.S.C. 553. VI. 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 D.C. Circuit within 60 days from October 22, 2024. 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 (section 307(b)(2) of the CAA).

II. Background, Purpose, and Legal Basis Empire Offshore Wind LLC, an offshore wind farm developer, notified the Coast Guard that they plan to begin construction of the Empire Wind 1 (EW1) facilities in the EW1 Wind Farm project area within federal waters on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). Specifically, construction will begin in a portion of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0512, approximately 12 nautical miles (NM) offshore south of Long Island, New York (NY), and 17 NM offshore east of Long Branch, New Jersey (NJ), possibly as early as March 2025. The extremely complex offshore construction of these OCS facilities presents many unusually hazardous conditions including hydraulic pile driving hammer operations, heavy lift operations, overhead cutting operations, potential falling debris, increased vessel traffic, and stationary vessels and barges in close proximity to the facilities and each other. Based on these circumstances, the First Coast Guard District Commander has determined that establishment of 55 temporary safety zones through rulemaking is warranted to ensure the safety of life, property, and the environment within a 500-meter radius of each of the 55 facilities during their construction. The Coast Guard is proposing this rule under the authorities provided in 14 U.S.C. 544, 43 U.S.C. 1333, and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Delegation No. 00170.1, Revision No. 01.3. As an implementing regulation of this authority, 33 CFR part 147 permits the establishment of safety zones for non-mineral energy resource permanent or temporary structures located on the OCS for the purpose of protecting life and property on the facilities, appurtenances and attending vessels, and on the adjacent waters within the safety zone (see 33 CFR 147.10). Accordingly, a safety zone established under 33 CFR part 147 may also include provisions to restrict, prevent, or control certain activities, including access by vessels or persons to maintain safety of life, property, and the environment. III. Discussion of Proposed Rule The District Commander is proposing to establish 55 temporary 500-meter safety zones around the construction of 54 wind turbine generators (WTGs) and one offshore substation (OSS) on the OCS from March 1, 2025, through 11:59 p.m. on February 29, 2028. The construction of these facilities is expected to repeatedly include the installation of the foundations followed by the installation of the upper structures for all 55 facilities. Major construction activity could take place for a period lasting approximately 96 hours or more at several locations, sometimes simultaneously, in the lease area for these 55 facilities. The Coast Guard will make notice of each enforcement period via the Local Notice to Mariners and issue a Broadcast Notice to Mariners via marine channel 16 (VHF-FM) as soon as practicable in response to an emergency or hazardous condition. The Coast Guard is publishing this rulemaking to be effective, and enforceable, through February 29, 2028, to encompass any construction delays due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. If, as currently scheduled, the project is completed before February 29, 2028, enforcement of the safety zones would be suspended, and notice given via Local Notice to Mariners. Additional information about the construction process of the EW1 can be found at https://www.boem.gov/renewable-energy/state-activities/empire-wind. The 55 temporary 500-meter safety zones around the construction of 54 WTGs and one OSS are in the EW1 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484317 project area, specifically in a portion of the BOEM Renewable Energy Lease Area OCS-A 0512, approximately 12 NM offshore south of Long Island, NY, and 17 NM offshore east of Long Branch, NJ.

I. Background On June 12, 2015, pursuant to CAA section 110(k)(5), the EPA finalized “State Implementation Plans: Response to Petition for Rulemaking; Restatement and Update of EPA's SSM Policy Applicable to SIPs; Findings of Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls to Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction,” (80 FR 33840, June 12, 2015), hereinafter referred to as the “2015 SSM SIP Action.” The 2015 SSM SIP Action clarified, restated, and updated EPA's interpretation that SSM exemption and affirmative defense SIP provisions are inconsistent with CAA requirements. The 2015 SSM SIP Action found that certain SIP provisions in 36 states (including Washington State) were substantially inadequate to meet CAA requirements and issued a SIP call to those states to submit SIP revisions to address the inadequacies. EPA established an 18-month deadline by which the affected states had to submit such SIP revisions. States were required to submit corrective revisions to their SIPs in response to the SIP calls by November 22, 2016. With regard to the Washington SIP, EPA determined that, to the extent that Wash. Admin. Code (WAC) 173-400-107 was intended to be an affirmative defense, it was not consistent with the requirements of the CAA. Therefore, EPA issued a SIP call with respect to this provision. The detailed rationale for issuing the SIP call to Washington can be found in the 2015 SSM SIP Action and preceding proposed actions. 1 2 1 See State Implementation Plans: Response to Petition for Rulemaking; Findings of Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls To Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction, 78 FR 12460 (February 22, 2013). 2 See SNPR (“State Implementation Plans: Response to Petition for Rulemaking; Findings of Substantial Inadequacy; and SIP Calls To Amend Provisions Applying to Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown and Malfunction; Supplemental Proposal To Address Affirmative Defense Provisions in States Included in the Petition for Rulemaking and in Additional States; Supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking,” 79 FR 55919, September 17, 2014). On January 12, 2022, the EPA issued Findings of Failure to Submit (FFS) to 12 air agencies, including EFSEC, that had not submitted SIPs responding to the 2015 SSM SIP call by the November 22, 2016, deadline per the requirements of section 110(k)(5) of the Act. 3 3 Findings of Failure To Submit State Implementation Plan Revisions in Response to the 2015 Findings of Substantial Inadequacy and SIP Calls To Amend Provisions Applying To Excess Emissions During Periods of Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction, 87 FR 1680 (January 12, 2022), available at Regulations.gov, Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0863. On March 1, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) issued a decision in Environ. Comm. Fl. Elec. Power v. EPA, No. 15-1239 (“D.C. Circuit decision”). 4 The case was a consolidated set of petitions for review of the 2015 SSM SIP Action. The Court granted the petitions in part, vacating the SIP call with respect to SIP provisions that EPA identified as automatic exemptions, director's discretion provisions, and affirmative defenses that are functionally exemptions; and denied the petitions as to other provisions that EPA identified as overbroad enforcement discretion provisions, or affirmative defense provisions that would preclude or limit a court from imposing relief in the case of violations, which the Court also refers to as “specific relief.” 4 See Environ. Comm. Fl. Elec. Power v. EPA, 94 F.4th 77, 115 (D.C. Cir. 2024). With respect to affirmative defense provisions against specific relief, the Court reaffirmed that states cannot limit courts' discretion to determine and apply appropriate civil penalties for violations of SIPs and denied the petitions for review as to affirmative defenses against monetary damages. 5 This is in keeping with the EPA's interpretation of the CAA in our 2015 SSM SIP Action that states do not have authority to create, and thus the EPA does not have authority to approve, SIP provisions that include an affirmative defense that would operate to alter the jurisdiction of Federal courts to assess penalties or other forms of relief authorized in sections 113 and 304. 6 As explained in the 2015 SSM SIP Action, WAC 173-400-107 provides affirmative defenses that operate to limit the jurisdiction of the Federal court in an enforcement action to assess monetary penalties or impose injunctive relief under certain circumstances as contemplated in CAA sections 113 and 304. 7 5 Id. at 114-15. 6 As stated in our supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking 79 FR 55920 at 55929. See also 80 FR 33840 at 33853, 33870. 7 See 79 FR 55920 at 55952. See also 80 FR 33974. By statute, EFSEC has jurisdiction for managing the air program with respect to major energy facilities in the State of Washington. See Chapter 80.50 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). EFSEC air quality regulations primarily adopt by reference Ecology's general air quality regulations, including WAC 173-400-107. Thus, in our 2015 SSM SIP Action, the EPA also issued a SIP call with respect to EFSEC's adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107 in WAC 463-39-005. 8 8 See 80 FR 33840, June 12, 2015. In response to the EPA's 2015 SSM SIP call, Ecology removed WAC 173-400-107 from the SIP. The EPA approved this SIP revision, along with Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484324 others, on December 28, 2023 (88 FR 89582). In its June 15, 2023 SIP submittal, Washington is, among other revisions, removing adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107 in EFSEC's regulations. II. Analysis of SIP Submission A. The Provision Subject to the 2015 SSM SIP Call In the 2015 SSM SIP Action, the EPA identified WAC 463-39-005 as inconsistent with CAA requirements because it contained adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107. The EPA last approved EFSEC's adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107 on May 23, 1996 (61 FR 25791). In 2015, EFSEC recodified 463-39 as 463-78 but otherwise retained the adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107. The EPA approved this ministerial change, among other revisions, on May 30, 2017, (82 FR 24531) and January 24, 2020, (85 FR 4233). Accordingly, the June 15, 2023, SIP submittal references EFSEC's adoptions by reference in WAC 463-78 rather than the WAC 463-39 referenced in the 2015 SSM SIP call. Subsequent to the EPA's January 2022 FFS, Washington submitted a SIP revision on June 15, 2023, that removed the EFSEC's adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107 in its entirety and included additional revisions to the SIP for EFSEC's jurisdiction. We reviewed Washington's June 15, 2023 SIP submittal and found the submission technically and administratively complete. We subsequently issued a completeness determination letter to Washington on August 8, 2023. 9 This completeness determination stopped the 18-month sanctions clock for EFSEC's jurisdiction that was started by the 2022 FFS. This completeness determination did not address the other SIP revisions included in the June 15, 2023 SIP submittal. 9 See 301_EFSEC SSM SIP Call FFS Completeness Letter.pdf, included in the docket for this action. The EPA has assessed the impact of the D.C. Circuit decision with respect to the removal of the specific affirmative defense provision at issue in WAC 173-400-107. We have concluded that the previously stated reasons for the proposed removal of these provisions, as articulated in the 2015 SSM SIP Action, are consistent with the recent D.C. Circuit decision. The Court upheld the EPA's 2015 SSM SIP Action with regard to affirmative defenses against specific relief, finding that because CAA 304(a) and 113(b) authorize citizens and the EPA to seek injunctive relief and monetary penalties against sources that violate a SIP's emission rules, such an affirmative defense would “block that aspect of the Act's enforcement regime.” 10 10 See 94 F.4th at 114-15. We are proposing to find that the removal of EFSEC's adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-107 in WAC 463-78-005 from the Washington SIP will satisfy the 2015 SSM SIP call as it will no longer provide an affirmative defense that may operate to limit the jurisdiction of the Federal court in an enforcement action. B. Additional SIP Revisions Submitted But Not Specified in the 2015 SSM SIP Call Washington also included SIP revisions in the June 15, 2023 SIP submittal that are not subject to the 2015 SSM SIP call. On July 26, 2024, Washington submitted a letter dated July 24, 2024, to the EPA withdrawing certain other SIP revisions not subject to the 2015 SSM SIP call. 11 Therefore, the EPA is not proposing action on the withdrawn provisions and will not cover them in this analysis. The remaining SIP revisions for which we are proposing action: correct a typographical error; establish the process for defining facility-specific alternate emission standards; remove excess emission provisions not consistent with the EPA's 2015 SSM policy; revise cross-references as necessary to align with updates to the analogous Federal laws or the EPA's 2015 SSM policy; and remove some provisions in deference to equally or more stringent relevant Federal laws. Many of the revisions are conditioned to only take effect upon the effective date of the EPA's removal of WAC 173-400-107 from the Washington SIP. The EPA approved identical revisions to WAC 173-400 applicable to Ecology's jurisdiction on December 28, 2023 (88 FR 89582). See the preamble to the EPA's June 15, 2023, proposed rule for a full explanation of these rule revisions. Washington also requested the EPA correct a typographical error in the SIP regarding a state effective date. 11 See 201_state submittal supplement_EFSEC Partial Withdrawal Request Letter - Ecology.pdf and 202_state submittal supplement_EFSEC Partial Withdrawal Request Letter - EFSEC.pdf included in the docket for this action. The additional revisions included in the June 15, 2023 SIP submittal that were not specified in the 2015 SSM SIP call or 2022 FFS were adopted in two different state rulemaking actions in 2018 for provisions in WAC 173-400, General Air Regulations for Air Pollution Sources. WAC 173-400, General Air Regulations for Air Pollution Sources. In its June 15, 2023, SIP submittal, Washington requested approval of revisions to WAC 173-030, Definitions; WAC 173-400-070, Emission standards for certain source categories; WAC 173-400-081, Startup and Shutdown; WAC 173-400-082, Alternative emission limit that exceeds an emission standard in the SIP; WAC 173-400-107, Excess emissions; WAC 173-400-136, Use of Emission Reduction Credits (ERC); and WAC 173-400-171, Public involvement. Many of the revisions are non-substantive changes. WAC 173-400-030, Definitions. As described in our most recent approval of WAC 173-400-030 (88 FR 89582, December 28, 2023) which EFSEC adopts by reference: Washington revised this section to aid in implementation of provisions such as those addressing transient (short-term) modes of operation, including startup and shutdown, and to clarify commonly used `terms of art' (such as “hog fuel”). 12 Most definitions in WAC 173-400-030 remain unchanged since our last approval; 13 however, the addition of new definitions resulted in changes to the numbering sequence. Even though the text of those definitions remains as approved, the state effective date changed to reflect the numbering sequence changes. Therefore, Washington requested the EPA approve all of WAC 173-400-030 as submitted on June 15, 2023, except definition (96) related to toxic air pollutants or odors, because it is outside the scope of CAA section 110 requirements for SIPs. 14 A complete redline/strikeout analysis of the updated definitions in WAC 173-400-030 is included in the docket for this action. 15 Updating the state effective date for those definitions in WAC 173-400-030 previously approved into Washington's SIP that remain unchanged will have no effect on emissions. 12 For more details, see Chapter 2 of Washington's November 12, 2019, submission, included in the docket for this action as 102_state submittal_SIP_SSM_400_405_410_415.pdf. 13 EPA reviewed those definitions and approved them in a previous action (85 FR 4233, January 20, 2020). 14 Definition (96) was excluded for the same reasons in our January 20, 2020 approval (88 FR 4233). 15 See Appendix C in 104_state submittal_Publication 19-02-030.pdf, included in the docket for this action. Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484325 The two revisions to existing definitions in WAC 173-400-030 were to: (32) 16 “Excess emissions”: to clarify that the term also includes emissions above limits established in permits or orders, including alternative emission limits. This definition comports with our 2015 SSM SIP Action; 17 and 16 “Excess Emissions” was previously codified as WAC 173-400-030(30), state effective December 29, 2012. EPA approved the December 29, 2012 versions of Washington's definitions of “excess emissions” and “federally enforceable” in a May 30, 2017 action (82 FR 24533). Since that action, EPA has approved more recent versions of Washington's definitions rule, but explicitly excluded the definitions for “excess emissions” and federally enforceable” from those actions. This means the 2012 versions of these definitions are currently effective for purposes of EFSEC's jurisdiction in the Washington SIP, and it is those versions that EPA is proposing to revise in this action—the same as we did for Ecology's and Benton Clean Air Agency's jurisdiction in our December 28, 2023 approval (88 FR 89582). 17 See 80 FR 33840, June 12, 2015, specifically page 33842. (38) 18 “Federally enforceable”: to include emission limitations during startup and shutdown. 18 “Federally enforceable” was previously codified as WAC 173-400-030(36), state effective December 29, 2012. Washington also adopted several new definitions which are discussed below: (6) “ `Alternative emission limit' or `limitation' ”: to clarify implementation of the provisions for transient (short-term) modes of operation such as startup and shutdown provisions in WAC 173-400-040(2), 081 and 082, 107, 108 and 109. This definition is defined substantively the same as in our 2015 SSM SIP Action; 19 19 See 80 FR 33840, June 12, 2015, especially page 33912. (45) “Hog fuel”: to define what has been used as a 1term of art' for wood waste, especially hogged wood waste, utilized for burning and to clarify implementation of emissions standards for boilers in WAC 173-400-040(2) and WAC 173-400-070(2). This definition, while narrower in scope, is generally in keeping with the Federal defintion for biomass or bio-based solid fuel for boilers and process heaters in the EPA's National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Major Sources: Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters, codified at 40 CFR part 63, “Subpart DDDDD”); 20 20 See specifically 40 CFR 63.7575. (83) “Shutdown” and (89) “Startup”: to clarify the general meanings of the terms 21 for purposes of implementation of WAC 173-400. 21 40 CFR 63.7575. (97) “Transient code of operation”: to include short-term operating periods, including periods of startup and shutdown. This term is used for facilitating development of alternative emission limitations (AELs) for startup and shutdown periods, as well as other short-term modes of operation such as soot blowing (also known as boiler lancing), grate cleaning, and refractory curing, during which a source is unable to meet otherwise applicable emissions limits; (100) “Useful thermal energy”: to clarify the general meanings of the terms for purposes of implementation of WAC 173-400. The definition is nearly verbatim from, and is substantively the same as, the EPA's Boiler NESHAP. 22 22 See specifically 40 CFR 63.7575 and 63.11237. (103) “Wigwam” or “silo burner”: This definition clarifies the types of units that are now prohibited under WAC 173-400-070(1). 23 23 Adding these definitions to WAC 173-400-030 does not constitute a prohibition, rather it is for clarification purposes as the terms were not defined elsewhere in WAC 173-400. However, the terms are used in WAC 173-400-070(1) which previously allowed the use of these units for disposal burning of waste wood. Revisions in the June 15, 2023 SIP submittal prohibit their use as of January 1, 2020. (104) “Wood-fired boiler”: to clarify implementation of regulations tailored specifically for this unique subset of boilers. This definition is similar to, but more narrowly defined than, “boiler” in 40 CFR 63.7575 and in as much as it is used to regulate boilers, comports with the Federal CAA. For the reasons stated above, the EPA is proposing to approve the above changes to Washington's definitions under WAC 173-400-030 for EFSEC's jurisdiction. We approved identical revisions to WAC 173-400 applicable to Ecology's jurisdiction on December 28, 2023 (88 FR 89582). WAC 173-400-070, Emission standards for certain source categories. Most subsections apply to source categories not regulated by EFSEC, the EPA previously only approved subsection (5) Catalytic Cracking Units into the SIP for EFSEC's jurisdiction (82 FR 24533, May 30, 2017). EFSEC is now requesting removal of their adoption by reference of WAC 173-400-070 in the SIP because subsection (5) is obsolete and to reduce unnecessary duplication of Federal requirements as corresponding Federal regulations, which the State adopts by reference, have more stringent requirements. 24 For these reasons, the EPA is proposing to approve the removal of WAC 173-400-070 for EFSEC's jurisdiction. 24 EPA approved removal of WAC 173-400-070(5) Catalytic Cracking Units on December 28, 2023, (88 FR 89582) because the Federal rule (40 CFR 60.102a) Washingtons adopts by reference in WAC 173-400-115 has more stringent requirements for catalytic cracking units than the requirements in the deleted rule. This Federal rule (40 CFR 60.102a) sets a particulate matter emission standard of 0.040 grains/dscf standard, which is significantly more stringent than the deleted rule that sets it at 0.20 grains/dscf. Similarly, 40 CFR 60.102a (d) provides a formula for setting site-specific opacity limits based on the PM emission rate measured during a source test. We expect this to be lower because of the more stringent PM standard. We deleted this subsection to simplify compliance by reducing duplication of the Federal requirements in our rule. WAC 173-400-081, Emission limits during startup and shutdown. As described in our most recent approval of WAC 173-400-081 (88 FR 89582, December 28, 2023) which EFSEC adopts by reference: this section establishes a case-by-case technology-based permitting pathway for establishing startup and shutdown AELs. Numerous non-substantive changes were made to clarify applicability and requirements associated with establishing AELs. The most substantive change is the addition of (4)(b) which requires the permitting authority comply with the applicable requirements in WAC 173-400-082. Under WAC 173-400-081(4)(a), if an emission limitation or other parameter created increases allowable emissions over levels already authorized in Washington's SIP, it will not take effect unless it is approved by the EPA as a SIP amendment. For these reasons, EPA is proposing to approve the submitted revisions to WAC 173-400-081 for EFSEC's jurisdiction. WAC 173-400-082 Alternative emission limit that exceeds an emission standard in the SIP. As described in our most recent approval of WAC 173-400-082 (88 FR 89582, December 28, 2023) which EFSEC adopts by reference: this is an entirely new section establishing a process for an owner or operator to request—and the State to approve via a regulatory order—an alternative emission limit that would apply during a specified transient mode of operation. This process was designed to establish AELs that meet the seven criteria discussed above. Any AEL established under this section only applies to the specified emissions units at the facility requesting the regulatory order. Moreover, any such AEL only goes into effect if the EPA approves the new limit into the SIP. For these reasons, the EPA is proposing to approve the submitted revisions to WAC 173-400-082 for EFSEC's jurisdiction. WAC 173-400-136 Use of Emission Reduction Credits (ERC). The EPA's May 30, 2017 (82 FR 24531) approval of EFSEC's adoption by reference errantly listed April 1, 2011, as the state effective date. The EPA is proposing to correct the state effective date to read December Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484326 29, 2012, consistent with our November 7, 2014 (79 FR 66291) approval for Ecology's direct jurisdiction. WAC 173-400-171 Public notice and opportunity for public comment. As described in our most recent approval of WAC 173-400-171 (88 FR 89582, December 28, 2023) which EFSEC adopts by reference: while many changes were made to this section, the only substantive change is the addition of (3)(o) which requires mandatory public comment periods for orders (permits) establishing AELs under WAC 173-400-081 or -082 that exceed otherwise SIP applicable limits. For these reasons, the EPA is proposing to approve the submitted revisions to WAC 173-400-171 for EFSEC's jurisdiction. III. Proposed Action The EPA is proposing to approve and incorporate by reference into the Washington SIP the revisions Washington submitted on June 15, 2023, except for those withdrawn by Washington. 25 This action includes removal of WAC 173-400-107—the provision identified as inconsistent with CAA requirements in our 2015 SSM SIP call—from the Washington SIP for EFSEC's jurisdiction, as well as incorporate by reference at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)— Table 3—Additional Regulations Approved for the Energy Facilities Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC) Jurisdiction, the following revised regulations: 25 See 201_state submittal supplement_EFSEC Partial Withdrawal Request Letter - Ecology.pdf and 202_state submittal supplement_EFSEC Partial Withdrawal Request Letter - EFSEC.pdf included in the docket for this action. • WAC 173-400-030, Definitions, (state effective September 16, 2018); • WAC 173-400-070, Emission standards for certain source categories, (state effective September 16, 2018); • WAC 173-400-081 Emission limits during startup and shutdown, (state effective September 16, 2018); • WAC 173-400-082 Alternative emission limit that exceeds an emission standard in the SIP, (state effective September 16, 2018); • WAC 173-400-136 Use of Emission Reduction Credits (ERC), (state effective December 29, 2012); and • WAC 173-400-171 Public Notice and Opportunity for Public Comment, (state effective September 16, 2018). The proposed revisions, upon finalization, will apply specifically to the jurisdiction of the Washington State Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council. IV. Incorporation by Reference In this document, EPA proposes to include in a final rule, regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA proposes to incorporate by reference the provisions described in sections II and III of this document. EPA is also proposing to remove regulatory text as described in sections II and III of this document that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA proposes to remove WAC 173-400-107 from the incorporation by reference at 40 CFR 52.2470. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 10 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review 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 proposed 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023); • 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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program; • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and • 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. Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address “disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects” of their actions on communities with environmental justice (EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. EPA defines EJ as “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that “no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and commercial operations or programs and policies.” The air agency did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Due to the nature of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have a neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for communities with EJ concerns. The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in Washington except as specifically noted below and is also not approved to apply in any other area where the 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. Washington's SIP is approved to apply on non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484327 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided state and local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey Area.

Individuals outside the United States should use the relay services offered within their country to make international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq., requires Federal agencies to consider the environmental effects of their proposed actions in their decision-making processes and to inform and engage the public in that process. Section 101(a) of NEPA sets forth a national policy to use all practicable means and measures, including financial and technical assistance, in a manner calculated to foster and promote the general welfare, to create and maintain conditions under which humans and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations of Americans. 42 U.S.C. 4331(a). Section 102 of NEPA directs agencies to interpret and administer Federal policies, regulations, and laws consistent with NEPA's policies. 42 U.S.C. 4332. To comply with NEPA, agencies determine the appropriate level of review for a proposed action: an environmental impact statement (EIS), an environmental assessment (EA), or a categorical exclusion (CX). 40 CFR 1501.3(c). If a proposed action is likely to have significant environmental effects, the agency will prepare an EIS and document its decision in a record of decision. 40 CFR part 1502, 1505.2. If the proposed action is not likely to have significant environmental effects or the level of significance is unknown, the agency will prepare an EA, which involves a more concise analysis and process than an EIS. 40 CFR 1501.5. Following preparation of an EA, the agency may reach a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) if the analysis shows that the action will have no significant effects. 40 CFR 1501.6. If, following preparation of an EA, the agency finds that the proposed action will have significant effects, it will prepare an EIS before authorizing the action. 40 CFR 1501.6(a)(3). Under NEPA and the Council on Environmental Quality's (CEQ's) implementing regulations, a Federal Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484381 agency must establish CXs—categories of actions that the agency has determined normally do not significantly affect the quality of the human environment, individually or in the aggregate—in its agency NEPA procedures. 42 U.S.C. 4336(e)(1); 40 CFR 1501.4, 1507.3(c)(8), 1508.1(e). If an agency determines that a CX covers a proposed action, the agency then evaluates the proposed action for any extraordinary circumstances in which a normally excluded action may have a significant effect. 40 CFR 1501.4(b), 1508.1(o). Responsible Officials in the Department's bureaus evaluate proposed actions for the existence of extraordinary circumstances in accordance with the Department's NEPA implementing regulations at 43 CFR 46.205 and 46.215; see also 40 CFR 1501.4(b), (b)(1)-(2). Under NEPA, a CX is defined as “a category of actions that a Federal agency has determined normally does not significantly affect the quality of the human environment.” 42 U.S.C. 4336e. CEQ recognizes that CXs increase efficiency by reducing the resources spent analyzing proposals that normally do not have potentially significant environmental effects, thereby allowing those resources to be focused on proposals that are more likely to have significant environmental effects. 1 The appropriate use of CXs allows NEPA compliance, in the absence of extraordinary circumstances that merit further consideration, to be concluded without preparing either an EA or an EIS. 1 Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), Establishing, Applying, and Revising Categorical Exclusions under the Environmental Policy Act, at 2-3. November 23, 2010. https://ceq.doe.gov/docs/ceq-regulations-and-guidance/NEPA_CE_Guidance_Nov232010.pdf. The Department's revised NEPA procedures were published in the Federal Register on October 15, 2008 (73 FR 61292), and are codified at 43 CFR part 46. Additional Department-wide NEPA policy may be found in the DM, in chapters 1 through 4 of part 516. The NEPA procedures for the Department's bureaus are published as additional chapters of DM part 516. Chapter 11 of 516 DM covers the BLM's procedures. The BLM's current procedures can be found at: https://www.doi.gov/sites/doi.gov/files/elips/documents/516-dm-11_0.pdf. These procedures address policy as well as procedure to assure compliance with the spirit and intent of NEPA. Rationale for the Proposed New CX The Department proposes to establish this new Geothermal Resource Confirmation (GRC) CX to facilitate the permitting of operations plans (OPs) for lessees to drill and test resource wells and expedite renewable energy development on public lands. Geothermal resource confirmation drilling usually includes at least three wells drilled into the resource to evaluate commercial viability of the resource, and to determine the extent of the resource by demonstrating communication between wells. Authorizing any OPs for post-leasing drilling operations (to directly test for and confirm the existence of a geothermal resource) currently requires the BLM to prepare an EA to comply with NEPA. The BLM's goal is to shift its analytical resources away from preparing EAs for actions that have been demonstrated to result in no significant impacts towards those that may. BLM has long experience with approval of OPs for geothermal resource confirmation operations and is familiar with the environmental effects of these activities, none of which normally result in significant or unanticipated effects to other resource values or uses. To substantiate its determination that the proposed new GRC CX describes a category of actions that does not normally have a significant effect on the environment, individually or in the aggregate, BLM assessed the environmental effects of previously implemented geothermal resource confirmation projects by evaluating 26 BLM EAs that concluded with FONSIs and validating these environmental reviews by conducting post-implementation evaluations that confirmed the findings. A record of the BLM's review can be found in the Substantiation Report for the proposed new CX (GRC CX Substantiation Report), which is available at https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/2034686/510, incorporated by reference here, and summarized in the Justification for Change section below. Based upon this information, the BLM has found that the establishment of a CX is appropriate because no significant effects normally result from GRC operations conducted within the proposed parameters. Establishing the proposed new CX would ensure a timely process for review and processing of operations plan applications for geothermal resource confirmation drilling and testing projects that normally do not have significant effects. Description of Change The Department proposes to add one CX to 516 DM 11.9 at Section B. Oil, Gas and Geothermal Energy. The language of the proposed new CX at 516 DM 11.9 B (7) is: Approval of an operations plan for geothermal resource confirmation wells ( e.g., core drilling, temperature gradient wells, and/or resource wells), including, but not limited to, construction of temporary routes for access, reclamation of all surface disturbance, and direct testing ( e.g., flow tests) to confirm the existence of a geothermal resource, to improve injection support, or to demonstrate communication between wells that: • Does not include resource utilization; • Does not exceed 20 acres of total (contiguous or noncontiguous) surface disturbance; • Includes reclamation of temporary routes when their intended purpose(s) has been fulfilled, unless through a separate review and decision-making process the BLM incorporates and appropriately designates a route as part of its transportation system. Unless a temporary route is specifically intended to accommodate public use, use of the temporary route is limited to project specific geothermal resource confirmation purposes; • Requires temporary routes to be constructed and used to allow for the reclamation, by artificial or natural means, of the temporary route and areas where the vegetative cover was disturbed by the construction or use of the route, and requires such treatment to be designed to reestablish vegetative cover as soon as possible, but at least within 10 years after approved reclamation commences; and • Includes design elements to protect resources and resource uses consistent with the applicable Resource Management Plan, laws, regulations, and lease terms. The BLM's intent in establishing this CX is to improve the efficiency of routine environmental review processes for geothermal resource confirmation. When applying this CX, Responsible Officials at the BLM will evaluate the proposed actions to determine whether there are any extraordinary circumstances. The Department's extraordinary circumstances are listed at 43 CFR 46.215 and include, in part, consideration of impacts on public health and safety; natural resources and unique geographic characteristics as historic or cultural resources; park, recreation, or refuge lands; wilderness areas; wild or scenic rivers; national natural landmarks, sole or principal drinking water aquifers; prime farmlands; wetlands; floodplains; national monuments; migratory birds; and other ecologically significant or critical areas; unresolved conflicts concerning alternative uses of available resources; unique or unknown environmental risks; precedent for future decision-making; historic properties; listed species or critical habitat; low income or minority populations; access by Indian religious Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484382 practitioners to, and for ceremonial use of, Indian sacred sites and the physical integrity of those sites; and contribution to the introduction, continued existence, or spread of invasive weeds or non-native invasive species. Responsible Officials in the BLM are required to review any proposed action for which they intend to rely on a CX, as provided at 43 CFR 46.205, by comparing it with the list at 43 CFR 46.215, and to document that review in accordance with any applicable BLM NEPA or program guidance. The Responsible Official will assess whether an extraordinary circumstance exists. If the Responsible Official cannot rely on a CX to support a decision on a particular proposed action due to extraordinary circumstances, the Responsible Official will prepare an EA or EIS, consistent with 40 CFR 1501.4(b)(2) and 43 CFR 46.205(c). The public is asked to review and comment on the proposed new CX. To be considered, any comments on this proposed addition to the list of CXs in the DM must be received by the date listed in the DATES section of this notice at the location listed in the ADDRESSES section. Comments received after that date will be considered only to the extent practicable. Comments, including names and addresses of respondents, will be part of the public record and available for public review at the BLM address shown in the ADDRESSES section, during business hours, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays. Before including your address, telephone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personally identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. Justification for Change The BLM proposes this GRC CX after reviewing existing BLM NEPA analyses and available scientific research on the effects of routine actions that would be included in the proposed new CX over time and over different geographic areas. The BLM has documented in detail the justification for establishing this new CX in the Substantiation Report, which is incorporated by reference here and available to review in full at the websites shown in ADDRESSES . Pursuant to the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970, the BLM is responsible for issuing leases for geothermal resource development and managing resource development, in part by processing permit applications for drilling, production, and utilization (electrical generation) on the Federal mineral estate. This authority encompasses approximately 700 million acres of Federal minerals, including BLM-managed public lands, National Forest System lands, other Federal lands, as well as split estate ( e.g., non-Federal surface) lands where the Federal Government has retained the mineral estate. Geothermal energy offers the Nation a clean, domestic, and abundant renewable resource. Conventional (hydrothermal) geothermal power plants use heat energy found in rock formations containing hot water or steam below the Earth's surface to turn a turbine and generate electrical power. Geothermal energy is a baseload source of electricity, generating energy 24 hours a day, regardless of changing weather patterns; as such, geothermal energy can help bridge the gap created by the intermittent generation of power from other renewable energy sources like solar and wind. Among renewable energy sources, geothermal power plants also have the smallest amount of surface disturbance relative to electricity produced, with a generation-weighted average of 0.34 acre/Gigawatt hour. Currently, approximately seventy (~70) percent (%) of geothermal installed capacity in the United States includes Federal resources. For these reasons, the BLM's Geothermal Energy Program is a critical component of efforts to advance and diversify the Nation's energy portfolio. The proposed new CX would support streamlined project authorization at the resource confirmation drilling phase and simplify the NEPA process. Establishment of the CX could support more efficient authorization of resource confirmation and testing, which could remove unnecessary barriers to the development of geothermal energy. To support the development of the CX, the BLM examined 26 geothermal projects analyzed in EAs that all supported FONSIs, and that were completed between 2005-2019, to identify potential impacts resulting from the kinds of activities normally included in GRC operations plans, as outlined in the 43 CFR Subpart 3260 regulations. The NEPA documents were reviewed to determine the scope of environmental consequences anticipated to result from the proposed actions. The size and scale of GRC projects reviewed in those documents were the basis of the surface disturbance limitations chosen for the proposed CX; specifically, the BLM determined that a limit of 20 acres will exclude the largest GRC operations, which are likeliest to result in significant effects. The BLM was careful to develop the scope of the proposed GRC CX so as to include only projects that involve drilling and direct testing of a resource. Therefore, the BLM, in its analysis, excluded projects that included actual production of geothermal resources, which requires construction and operation of utilization facilities ( e.g., power plants and transmission facilities). Such activities would be included and analyzed in the next phase of geothermal resource development, Utilization Operations, as outlined in the 43 CFR Subpart 3270 regulations, and are therefore beyond the scope of the intended category of activities BLM intends to exclude from further NEPA analysis with this GRC CX. BLM also reviewed 20 representative oil and gas drilling projects on Federal lands, because the activities, equipment, and surface impacts between these two types of fluid minerals are largely similar at the drilling stage. As discussed in the Methods section of the Substantiation Report, the BLM currently relies on EAs to review GRC projects. In the EAs reviewed, no significant individual or cumulative impacts were predicted to result from the kinds of activities included in the proposed GRC CX, nor were any unanticipated impacts observed after projects were implemented. Actual impacts were the same as predicted impacts in all cases. In all instances, project design elements required by BLM regulations, resource management plans, and leases were adequate to minimize or avoid adverse impacts. None of the evaluated projects would have resulted in a need to complete an EIS for the actions proposed in this CX, had these measures not been applied as a feature of the proposed action or alternatives. As described in the Substantiation Report, the BLM has experience analyzing and implementing GRC projects in an environmentally sustainable manner and considers the activities described in this proposal to be routine and the environmental effects of those activities to be non-significant. Expediting consideration of GRC projects is essential to improve management of geothermal resources on BLM-administered lands. Establishment of this proposed new CX would facilitate implementation of BLM priorities for identifying steps to establish and implement a program to improve Federal permit coordination Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484383 with respect to eligible renewable energy projects on covered land, with the goal of accelerating responsible development of renewable energy ( i.e., geothermal) on public lands.

The Gunnison Sage-Grouse Approved RMP Amendment modifies management decisions and actions to promote Gunnison sage-grouse recovery and maintain and enhance habitat, as identified in the 2020 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Recovery Plan, across the eight currently recognized populations in southwest Colorado and southeast Utah. Gunnison sage-grouse is federally listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C. 1531-1544). The planning area spans portions of 19 Colorado Counties: Alamosa, Archuleta, Conejos, Costilla, Delta, Dolores, Garfield, Gunnison, Hinsdale, La Plata, Mesa, Mineral, Montezuma, Montrose, Ouray, Rio Grande, Saguache, San Juan, and San Miguel; and two Utah Counties: Grand and San Juan, and encompasses approximately 25 million acres of public land. The Approved RMP Amendment makes decisions for approximately 2,182,660 acres of BLM-managed surface lands (1,951,440 acres in Colorado and 231,220 acres in Utah) and 2,852,390 acres of Federal subsurface mineral estate (2,563,220 acres in Colorado and 289,170 acres in Utah). The alternative selected as the Approved RMP Amendment is a clarified version of Alternative F, as described in the Proposed RMP Amendment. The Approved RMP Amendment focuses conservation measures on occupied and unoccupied habitat. For all populations, the Approved RMP Amendment would apply buffers to protect all lek statuses (active, inactive, historic, unknown, occupied, and unoccupied). The Approved RMP Amendment includes a 1-mile adjacent non-habitat buffer around occupied and unoccupied habitat areas, where minimization measures could apply. For Recreation and Lands and Realty program areas, the Approved RMP Amendment applies management designed for the Gunnison Basin population and different management designed for the seven satellite populations (those outside of the Gunnison Basin). For all populations, the Approved RMP Amendment manages resource uses with an objective for no increase in net surface disturbance in habitat. Also, the Approved RMP Amendment closes all areas with no and low potential for fluid mineral leasing in both occupied and unoccupied habitat management areas. The Approved RMP Amendment designates three new Areas of Critical Environmental Concern: Dry Creek Basin (San Miguel population; 10,920 acres), Sapinero Mesa (Gunnison Basin population; 17,240 acres), and Chance Gulch (Gunnison Basin population; 13,150 acres), specifically for the protection and enhancement of Gunnison sage-grouse habitat. One new Backcountry Conservation Area (referred to as Sugar Creek Backcountry Conservation Area in the Gunnison Basin population; 17,210 acres) is designated to preserve intact, public lands and priority habitat for wildlife, while offering primitive recreation opportunities. These landscape level management decisions provide habitat conservation and reduction of threats to Gunnison sage-grouse populations. They reflect a long-term commitment by the BLM and cooperating agencies for conservation of the species by continuing protection, restoration, and enhancement of Gunnison sage-grouse habitat. The BLM published a notice of intent in the Federal Register to initiate the public scoping period for this planning effort on July 6, 2022 (87 FR 40262). Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484384 After preparing the Draft RMP Amendment/EIS in coordination with 30 cooperating agencies and working with Tribes, the BLM announced the 90-day comment period through publication of its Notice of Availability in the Federal Register on November 9, 2023 (88 FR 77353). Based on public comments received on the Draft RMP Amendment/Draft EIS, the BLM updated the Proposed RMP Amendment/Final EIS (Alternative F) by incorporating management actions and allowable uses from Alternatives A, B, C, D and E, including corrections and rewording for clarification of purpose and intent. The BLM provided the Proposed RMP Amendment on July 5, 2024, for a 30-day protest period. The BLM received five unique protest letter submissions. Three letters contained valid protest issues. After careful review of the responses to the valid protest issues in the protest resolution report, the BLM Director concluded that the BLM Colorado and Utah State Directors followed the applicable laws, regulations, and policies, and considered all relevant resource information and public input. The BLM Director dismissed the protests, and that decision is the final decision of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Responses to protest issues are compiled and documented in a Protest Resolution Report (see ADDRESSES ). The BLM provided the Proposed RMP Amendment to the Governors of Colorado and Utah for a 60-day Governor's consistency review. The State of Utah identified potential inconsistencies with State policy and the State Resource Management Plan. In response, the BLM modified a travel management action and followed up with a response letter to address additional topics of concern. The State of Colorado did not identify any inconsistencies with State or local plans, policies or programs identified during the Governor's consistency review of the Proposed RMP Amendment.(Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6; 43 CFR 1610.5-1)

The planning area includes all counties in Colorado and encompasses approximately 8.3 million acres of public land and approximately 27 million acres of Federal mineral estate. The decision area includes all 8.3 million acres of BLM-administered surface land (except where Federal minerals have been withdrawn from mineral leasing) plus approximately 4.7 million acres of Federal mineral split estate where the surface is owned by private owners, local government, or the State. The Approved RMP Amendment describes the actions and management guidance for the conservation of big game High Priority Habitat (HPH) and oil and gas management. The RMP Amendment aligns BLM management of oil and gas in big game HPH with the Colorado Energy and Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) rules for oil and gas development in elk, mule deer, pronghorn, and bighorn sheep HPH (Rule 1202.c, d; Rule 1203). Where lands are open to oil and gas leasing under existing RMPs, the plan prescribes measures consistent with the ECMC rules to conserve seasonal habitats and connectivity within big game HPH in support of Colorado Parks and Wildlife's (CPW) big game population objectives. The approved RMP Amendment calls for the BLM to consider alternative locations for oil and gas operations that either avoid big game HPH altogether, or, where avoidance is not feasible, minimize adverse impacts to the maximum extent possible. The plan includes a controlled surface use stipulation that limits facility density to no more than one active oil and gas location per square mile in big game HPH. A consideration of CPW recommendations for route density is included as an objective and as a lease notice to further guide implementation. Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484385 This surface density limitation would require the operator to address adverse direct and unavoidable indirect impacts through mitigation. This includes avoidance, minimization, and compensatory mitigation strategies in subsequent implementation-level National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analyses for proposed actions that may result in big game HPH loss and degradation. Subsequent implementation-level mitigation could limit the duration and extent of development activities in big game HPH through all phases of development by avoiding activities in HPH, applying surface density and timing limitations, and mitigating residual impacts. The BLM may also require compensatory mitigation to offset disturbance or density limitation exceedances and adverse direct and unavoidable indirect impacts that result in the functional loss of habitat from oil and gas development in big game HPH. The BLM, after coordination with CPW, will determine whether compensatory mitigation proposed by the operator is sufficient to protect big game HPH from adverse direct and unavoidable indirect impacts. The BLM has the discretion to require an operator to modify surface operations to change or add specific mitigation measures when supported by scientific analysis and consistent with existing rights. Potential mitigation or conservation measures not already required as stipulations would be analyzed in a site-specific NEPA document and incorporated, as appropriate, as conditions of approval of the permit, plan of development, or other use authorization. The plan would require operators to develop and implement mitigation plans to minimize and offset direct, indirect, and cumulative adverse impacts. The RMP Amendment includes management guidance for enhanced coordination and use of best available science and information during implementation. The BLM provided the Proposed RMP/Final EIS on July 19, 2024, for a 30-day protest period and did not receive any valid protests. No changes to the Proposed RMP Amendment/EIS were necessary. The BLM provided the Proposed RMP Amendment to the Governor of Colorado for a 60-day Governor's consistency review. No inconsistencies with State or local plans, policies, or programs were identified during the Governor's consistency review of the Proposed RMP Amendment. No changes to the RMP Amendment or EIS were necessary as a result of the Governor's consistency review.(Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR 1506.10, 43 CFR 1610.2)

For the Commission, by the Division of Trading and Markets, pursuant to delegated authority. 100 100 17 CFR 200.30-3(a)(12), (59). Sherry R. Haywood, Assistant Secretary. [FR Doc. 2024-24363 Filed 10-21-24; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 8011-01-PUpon 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 Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h), (17 CFR 240.17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h)), 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. Rule 17Ad-2(c),(d), and (h) enumerates the requirements with which transfer agents must comply to inform the Commission or the appropriate regulator of a transfer agent's failure to meet the minimum performance standards set by the Commission rule by filing a notice. While it is estimated that there are 740 transfer agents, only approximately three notices pursuant to Rule 17Ad-2(c), (d), and (h) are filed annually. In view of (a) the readily available nature of most of the information required to be included in the notice (since that information must be compiled and retained pursuant to other Commission rules); (b) the summary fashion in which such information must be presented in the notice (most notices are one page or less in length); and (c) the experience of the staff regarding the notices, the Commission staff estimates that, on the average, most notices require approximately one-half hour to prepare. The Commission staff thus estimates that transfer agents spend an average of a total of one and a half hours per year complying with the rule (3 × .5 hours = 1.5 hours). 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 December 23, 2024. 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: Austin Gerig, Director/Chief Data Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Tanya Ruttenberg, 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549, or send an email to: PRA_Mailbox@sec.gov.

For example, if the index is at 400, the 396 call = 1 - 396/400 = 0.01 = 1% ITM, whereas the 396 put = 396/400 −1 = - 0.01 = 1% OTM. |

Background: The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides income assistance to more than 13 million working-age adults and children with disabilities through the Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) programs. To evaluate these respondents as they navigate SSA's application process, we are implementing the New Applicant Survey (NAS). The objective of the New Applicant Survey (NAS) is to provide SSA's Office of Research, Demonstration, and Employment Support (ORDES) with information about recent applicants' experience at different stages or touchpoints in the disability application process. SSA will use findings from the survey to inform testable policy interventions to improve the application experience for applicant. NAS Description: The primary goal of NAS is to help SSA improve our current application process through the use of feedback from the public who use it. The research questions and survey will allow SSA to evaluate current practices and improve upon them. Ultimately, we expect the purpose of this survey will help SSA to implement a better overall application experience for respondents, as they use SSA's systems. Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 204 / Tuesday, October 22, 202484432 To provide information to SSA regarding applicants' experiences at the different touchpoints in the disability application process, SSA's evaluation will include the following analysis components: • Comparison of Characteristics: Comparing characteristics of non-respondents (or the total sample) to those of respondents using information available for both non-respondents and respondents. • Modeling: Modeling response propensity using multivariate analyses, including observation and analysis of several outcome variables. • Evaluation of Differences: Evaluating differences found in comparisons between unadjusted ( i.e., base-) weighted estimates of selected sampling frame characteristics based on the survey respondents and the corresponding population (frame) parameter. • Comparison of Estimates: Comparing weighted survey estimates ( e.g., selected error rates by type) using unadjusted (base) weights versus nonresponse-adjusted weights. We expect the NAS will help SSA answer the following research questions: • What are the pre- and post-application employment experiences of awarded and denied SSDI and SSI applicants? • What employment-, vocational-, medical-, or income-related services and supports did applicants use leading up to and since application? • What sources of information about SSDI or SSI did the applicant use or have access to? • What were the applicants' experiences with representation during the application or post-application periods? SSA will conduct this survey with 10,000 respondents nationally. SSA will provide a list of recent adult applicants who have applied for Social Security disability benefits to the contractor to use for sample selection. To ensure that sampled applicants have recent experiences with the application process, we will restrict the target population to those who have applied, appealed, or received a determination in the six months prior to sampling. The sample will include individuals to whom SSA awarded benefits (beneficiaries), those to whom SSA denied benefits, as well as applicants who remain at different stages of the application process. For this survey, we will use the following methods for recruitment:• SSA Announcement
• Email to Appointed Representative from Appointed Representative Associations
• Email to Appointed Representative (Directly)
• First USPS Mailing to All Applicants, which will include a small cash incentive of $2, a letter, and an information sheet
• Second USPS Mailing to All Applicants
• Third USPS Mailing to Nonrespondents
• Fourth USPS Mailing to Nonrespondents
• Fifth contact introducing the telephone modality.
As part of recruitment, we will also conduct experiments regarding more cash incentives, invitations to complete the survey using multiple modalities (internet, paper, telephone), as well as an early-bird incentive. The Survey Instrument: The survey asks questions that focus on the applicant's experience with different aspects of the application process. We will use it to collect data from 10,000 new applicants at different touchpoints in the application process to understand applicant experiences at each stage and obtain the information needed to address the research questions. To accommodate respondent preferences, we will create three modalities of the survey instrument: internet-based, automated-telephone, and paper. The internet and telephone versions will have essentially the same design as these modalities, by using dynamic pathing. This will facilitate the automatic skipping of questions based on the respondents' earlier responses. We will include instructions and formatting on the paper instrument which will also allow the respondents to skip questions based on previous responses; however, they will be able to see all of the questions (which is not the case on the internet and telephone versions). The survey questions will focus on the following applicant experiences: • Touchpoints in the application process completed and applicants' experience with the most recent touchpoints; • Use of appointed representatives; • Actions taken when applicants receive an unfavorable SSA decision; • Use of and experience with SSA services; • Recommendations for improvements to the application process; • Personal financial environment including use of assistance programs; • Personal support system; and • Demographic information. SSA will use the information we collect from this survey to understand applicants' experiences at different stages in the application process, as well as the types of SSA services applicants accessed, and to evaluate changes to the application process that could potentially improve applicants' experience. We will encourage respondents to complete the survey via the internet modality, but will not restrict them, or penalize respondents who choose a different method (paper or telephone). We will require informed consent for all participants. Ultimately, we expect the survey will help SSA to implement a better overall application experience for respondents, as they use SSA's systems. The respondents are current SSA beneficiaries who have undergone the application process; individuals to whom SSA denied benefits; applicants for Social Security services in various stages of the application process, and their representatives (as applicable).

Statutory Benefit Continuation Election Statement—20 CFR 404.1597a, and 416.996—0960-NEW. Sections 223(g) and 1631(a)(7) of the Social Security Act (Act) provide that, when a disability Title II beneficiary or Title XVI recipient requests an appeal of a Social Security Administration's (SSA) determination stating that their physical or mental impairment(s) ceased or is no longer disabling during a continuing disability review (CDR), the individual has the right to request disability benefits continue during their appeal. This process, known as Statutory Benefit Continuation (SBC), follows regulations set forth in 20 CFR 404.1597a(f) and 416.996(c-d) of the Code of Federal Regulations (Code). Currently, when SSA determines an individual's disability ceased or is no longer disabling, SSA sends the individual a notice of benefit termination informing them within 10 days after receipt of the notice their disability benefits will end, and they must submit in writing, or use Form SSA-795, Statement of Claimant or Other Person (OMB No. 0960-0045), to complete a statement to elect or decline continuation of benefits. However, Form SSA-795 does not specifically address SBC elections, which often leads to incomplete submissions for those cases. For SBC cases, SSA's field office staff frequently need to follow-up with individuals to clarify their election or explain the available options. The SBC election is effective until SSA makes the determination or decision at the applicable appeal level. SSA requires the individual to make a separate election at each level of appeal, through the hearing level before an administrative law judge (ALJ). SBC is not available at the appeals council (AC) or federal court levels; however, if the AC remands a case back to the ALJ hearing level, and the individual did not previously elect SBC, SSA grants the individual another opportunity to make an SBC election at that time. If the individual elected SBC at a prior ALJ hearing level, the field office (FO) automatically reinstates SBC after the AC sends the case to the hearing office. The FO reinstates benefits retroactive to the first month of non-payment resulting from the now vacated prior ALJ decision. A claimant has two opportunities to elect SBC during the appeal process: (1) the claimant can request SBC when appealing at the reconsideration level and then again at the hearing level, and (2) the claimant can request SBC at the hearing level only. The following individuals are eligible for SCB: SSI recipients whose benefits are based on disability or blindness; primary disability insurance beneficiaries; auxiliaries receiving benefits on the record of a primary disability beneficiary, disabled widow or widowers, disabled adult children; mothers or fathers receiving benefits based on having a disabled adult child in their care, and mothers or fathers receiving benefits based on having in their care a child under age 18 but over age 15 who is disabled and receiving child's benefits. SSA is requesting OMB approval of Form SSA-792, Statutory Benefit Continuation Election Statement to standardize our collection of an individual's benefit continuation election choice. Form SSA-792 will allow the individual to elect from a variety of options available to them for continued disability benefits and Medicare coverage. The respondents are Title II and Title XVI disability beneficiaries and recipients and Title II auxiliaries. Type of Request: Request for a new information collection.
