Air Plan Approval: AK; Permitting Fees Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
state implementation plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of 
Alaska (state) Department of Environmental Conservation on February 1, 
2016. The revisions implement changes to permit administration and 
compliance fees based on the state's fee study results. Changes 
include: The addition of definitions, restructuring of fee categories, 
rearranging and renumbering of certain fee rules, and updating cross 
references to align with the restructured fee rules.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before December 27, 
2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R10-
OAR-2016-0591 at http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located 
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other 
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,'' 
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, it is intended to refer to the EPA. For 
further information, please see the direct final action, of the same 
title, which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register. 
The EPA is approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the EPA views this as a noncontroversial 
SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale 
for the approval is set forth in the preamble to the direct final rule. 
If the EPA receives no adverse comments, the EPA will not take further 
action on this proposed rule.
    If the EPA receives adverse comments, the EPA will withdraw the 
direct final rule and it will not take effect. The EPA will address all 
public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. 
The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time. Please note that if we receive adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, the EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
