2990 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 30, 1996 / Proposed Rules alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule. EPA has determined that the proposed approval action promulgated today does not include a federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This federal action approves pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new federal requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 70 Environmental protection, Administrative practice and procedure, Air pollution control, Intergovernmental relations, Operating permits, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q. Dated: December 18, 1996. Jeanne M. Fox, Regional Administrator. [FR Doc. 96–1712 Filed 1–29–96; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P 40 CFR Part 81 [Region II Docket No.147; NJ24–1–7249b, FRL–5404–9] Air Quality Designations: Deletion of TSP Designations From New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to delete from the State-by-State lists contained in 40 CFR part 81 the attainment status designations, including designations of attainment, unclassifiable and nonattainment, affected by the original national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter measured as total suspended particulate (TSP). In accordance with section 107(d)(3)(B) of the Clean Air Act, the Administrator has determined that the selected area designations for TSP are no longer necessary for implementing the requirements for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality for particulate matter since EPA has adopted equivalent PSD increments for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10 microns (PM10), which became effective on June 3, 1994. In the Final Rules Section of this Federal Register, the EPA is deleting the TSP area designations for New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands, as identified therein, as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this action is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct final rule no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time. DATES: Comments must be received on or before February 29, 1996. ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: William S. Baker, Chief, Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007– 1866 Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for inspection during normal business hours at the following address: Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, Air Programs Branch, 290 Broadway, 20th Floor, New York, New York 10007–1866 FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kirk J.
