| 02-31669 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana | Rule | On April 3, 2000, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a site-specific State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request concerning volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available control technology (RACT) requirements for the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (NSWC Crane) in Crane, Indiana. The SIP submission allows the Department of the Navy to use military specification coatings containing a VOC content of up to 5.45 pounds per gallon for the painting operations in Building 2728 at NSWC Crane. This rulemaking action approves, using the direct final process, the Indiana SIP revision request. | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-31669/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-indiana | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-31669.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | On April 3, 2000, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a site-specific State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request concerning volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available control technology (RACT)... |
| 02-31899 | Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Baseline Emissions Determination, Actual-to-Future-Actual Methodology, Plantwide Applicability Limitations, Clean Units, Pollution Control Projects | Rule | The EPA is revising regulations governing the New Source Review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). These revisions include changes in NSR applicability requirements for modifications to allow sources more flexibility to respond to rapidly changing markets and to plan for future investments in pollution control and prevention technologies. Today's changes reflect EPA's consideration of discussions and recommendations of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee's (CAAAC) Subcommittee on NSR, Permits and Toxics, comments filed by the public, and meetings and discussions with interested stakeholders. The changes are intended to provide greater regulatory certainty, administrative flexibility, and permit streamlining, while ensuring the current level of environmental protection and benefit derived from the program and, in certain respects, resulting in greater environmental protection. | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-31899/prevention-of-significant-deterioration-psd-and-nonattainment-new-source-review-nsr-baseline | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-31899.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is revising regulations governing the New Source Review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

| 02-32384 | National Ambient Air Quality Standard: Particulate Matter | Rule | The EPA is taking direct final action to amend the national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter. The revision reduces to 15 percent the requirement that reporting organizations collocate 25 percent of State and local air monitoring station (SLAMS) sites with a second sampler in order to estimate precision at a reporting organization level. The regulations describe the number of collocated sites required within a reporting organization. With today's action, EPA is making a simple change in the regulations by changing the requirement to collocate 25 percent of reporting organizations sites to 15 percent of the reporting organizations sites. The effect of this change will be to reduce the number of monitors which must be collocated. This in turn will reduce the cost of implementing and maintaining monitoring networks but without significantly affecting our confidence in the precision at the reporting organization level or in providing acceptable estimates of achievement of the precision Data Quality Objectives (DQOs). Since reporting organizations are of unequal size in the number of monitors they implement, 15 percent was considered an acceptable limit of providing enough precision information for smaller reporting organizations while not unduly burdening larger reporting organizations. | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-32384/national-ambient-air-quality-standard-particulate-matter | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-32384.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is taking direct final action to amend the national ambient air quality standards for particulate matter.

| 02-32386 | Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Additional Reconsideration of Petition Criteria and Incorporation of Montreal Protocol Decisions | Rule | With this action, EPA is making minor revisions to the accelerated phaseout regulations that govern the production, import, export, transformation and destruction of substances that deplete the ozone layer under the authority of Sections 604, 605, 606, and 614 of Title VI of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAA or the Act). As part of this action, EPA is clarifying the petition process for imports of used class I controlled substances. Today's amendments also reflect changes in U.S. reporting obligations under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol) due to a recent decision by countries that are Parties to this international agreement. Additionally, in response to a petition submitted to EPA, the Agency is removing the requirement in the petition process for imports of used class I controlled substances that a person must certify knowledge of tax liability. | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-32386/protection-of-stratospheric-ozone-additional-reconsideration-of-petition-criteria-and-incorporation | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-32386.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | With this action, EPA is making minor revisions to the accelerated phaseout regulations that govern the production, import, export, transformation and destruction of substances that deplete the ozone layer under the authority of Sections 604, 605, 606,... |
| 02-32503 | Medicare Program; Revisions to Payment Policies Under the Physician Fee Schedule for Calendar Year 2003 and Inclusion of Registered Nurses in the Personnel Provision of the Critical Access Hospital Emergency Services Requirement for Frontier Areas and Remote Locations | Rule | This final rule with comment period refines the resource-based practice expense relative value units (RVUs) and makes other changes to Medicare Part B payment policy. In addition, as required by statute, we are announcing the physician fee schedule update for CY 2003. The update to the physician fee schedule occurs as a result of a calculation methodology specified by law. That law required the Department to set annual updates based in part on estimates of several factors. Although subsequent after-the-fact data indicate that actual increases were different to some degree from earlier estimates, the law does not permit those estimates to be revised. A subsequent law required estimates to be revised for FY 2000 and beyond. Although we have exhaustively examined opportunities for a different interpretation of law that would allow us to correct the flaw in the formula administratively, current law does not permit such an interpretation. Accordingly, without Congressional action to address the current legal framework, the Department is compelled to announce herein a physician fee schedule update for CY 2003 of -4.4 percent. Because the Department would adopt a change in the formula that determines the physician update if the law permitted it, we have examined how proper adjustments to past data could result in a positive update. The Department believes that revisions of estimates used to establish the sustainable growth rates (SGR) for fiscal years (FY) 1998 and 1999 and Medicare volume performance standards (MVPS) for 1990-1996 would, under present calculations, result in a positive update. The Department intends to work closely with Congress to develop legislation that could permit a positive update, and hopes that such legislation can be passed before the negative update takes effect. Because the Department wishes to change the update promptly in the event that Congress provides the Department legal authority to do so, we are requesting comments regarding how physician fee schedule rates could and should be recalc… | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-32503/medicare-program-revisions-to-payment-policies-under-the-physician-fee-schedule-for-calendar-year | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-32503.pdf | Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services | 221,45 | This final rule with comment period refines the resource-based practice expense relative value units (RVUs) and makes other changes to Medicare Part B payment policy.

| 02-33032 | Aviation Security: Private Charter Security Rules | Rule | In response to comments received, TSA is amending the aviation security requirements concerning private charter passenger operations. TSA issued the existing standard in June 2002, as an emergency final rule and requested comments on it. The rule requires private charter operators using aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight of 95,000 pounds or more, to ensure that passengers and their carry-on baggage are screened prior to boarding. In response to the comments and after further analysis, TSA has determined that the existing threshold does not adequately capture the appropriate group of aircraft. TSA is now adopting an international security standard, in which private charter operations in aircraft with a maximum certificated takeoff weight greater than 45,500 kg (100,309.3 pounds), or with a passenger seating configuration of 61 or more will be subject to the screening requirement. As a result of this amendment, additional aircraft are now covered by the rule that were not previously subject to it. TSA is establishing a new compliance date for operators of these aircraft, in order to provide them sufficient time to develop procedures required by this rule and the security program. Also, in response to comments received, TSA is permitting the use of non-TSA screeners in certain circumstances. | 2002-12-31 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/31/02-33032/aviation-security-private-charter-security-rules | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-31/pdf/02-33032.pdf | Transportation Department; Transportation Security Administration | 492,494 | In response to comments received, TSA is amending the aviation security requirements concerning private charter passenger operations.

These four amendments incorporate the provisions of the AFA into the fishery management plans (FMPs) and their implementing regulations. The management measures include: measures that allocate the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Management Area (BSAI) pollock among the sectors of the pollock processing industry and restrict who may fish for and process pollock within each industry sector; measures that govern the formation and operation of fishery cooperatives in the BSAI pollock fishery; harvesting and processing limits known as sideboards to protect the participants in other fisheries from spillover effects resulting from the rationalization of the BSAI pollock fishery; measures that establish catch weighing and monitoring requirements for vessels and processors that participate in the BSAI pollock fishery; and extension of the inshore/offshore regime for pollock and Pacific cod in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA) through December 31, 2004. These amendments and management measures are necessary to implement the AFA and are intended to do so in a manner consistent with the environmental and socioeconomic objectives of AFA, the Magnuson- Stevens Fishery Management and Conservation Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act), and other applicable laws. | 2002-12-30 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/30/02-31700/fisheries-of-the-exclusive-economic-zone-off-alaska-amendments-6161138-to-implement-major-provisions | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-30/pdf/02-31700.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS issues final regulations to implement the following American Fisheries Act (AFA)-related amendments: Amendment 61 to the Fishery Management Plan for the Groundfish Fishery of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands Area, Amendment 61 to the Fishery... |
| 02-32766 | Retention of Current Monetary Threshold for Reporting Rail Equipment Accident/Incidents During Calendar Year 2003 and Until Further Amended | Rule | This Interim Final Rule establishes at $6,700 the monetary threshold for reporting certain railroad accidents/incidents involving railroad property damage that occur during calendar year 2003 and, until further notice, during subsequent calendar years. The 2003 threshold remains the same as the threshold for calendar year 2002 due to the unavailability of Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data that were previously used to calculate the threshold. FRA is not calculating a new threshold; rather, the old one is being retained as it is not possible to calculate a new threshold with the current formula due to the lack of BLS data. FRA will be providing notice and seeking comment at a future date to establish a new formula for calculating the monetary threshold for reporting rail equipment accidents/incidents. This action is needed to ensure and maintain comparability between different years of accident data by having the threshold keep pace with any increases or decreases in equipment and labor costs so that each year accidents involving the same minimum amount of railroad property damage are included in the reportable accident counts. | 2002-12-30 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/30/02-32766/retention-of-current-monetary-threshold-for-reporting-rail-equipment-accidentincidents-during | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-30/pdf/02-32766.pdf | Transportation Department; Federal Railroad Administration | 492,185 | This Interim Final Rule establishes at $6,700 the monetary threshold for reporting certain railroad accidents/incidents involving railroad property damage that occur during calendar year 2003 and, until further notice, during subsequent calendar years.... |

| 02-32549 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans North Carolina: Approval of Revisions to North Carolina State Implementation Plan: Transportation Conformity Rule and Interagency Memorandum of Agreements | Rule | The EPA is approving a revision to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) with the exception of one state regulation pertaining to triggers. The revision contains the transportation conformity rule pursuant to the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (Act) and seven memoranda of agreements that establish procedures for consultation as part of the transportation conformity provisions. The transportation conformity rule assures that projected emissions from transportation plans, improvement programs and projects in air quality nonattainment or maintenance areas stay within the motor vehicle emissions ceiling contained in the SIP. The transportation conformity SIP revision enables the State to implement and enforce the Federal transportation conformity requirements at the state level per regulations for conformity to State or Federal Implementation Plans of Transportation Plans, Programs, and Projects Developed, funded or Approved Under Title 23 U.S.C. of the Federal Transit Laws. This EPA approval action streamlines the conformity process to allow direct consultation among agencies at the local level. This final approval action is limited to requirements for Transportation Conformity. Rationale for approving this SIP revision is provided in the Supplemental Information section of this action. | 2002-12-27 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/27/02-32549/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-north-carolina-approval-of-revisions-to-north | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-27/pdf/02-32549.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is approving a revision to the North Carolina State Implementation Plan (SIP) with the exception of one state regulation pertaining to triggers.

| 02-32562 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans: North Carolina: Nitrogen Oxides Budget and Allowance Trading Program | Rule | EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), on September 18, 2001. This revision was submitted in response to the EPA's regulation entitled, "Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone," otherwise known as the NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call. This revision establishes and requires a nitrogen oxides (NO<INF>X</INF>) allowance trading program for large electric generating and industrial units; and reductions from internal combustion engines beginning in 2004. On December 26, 2000, EPA determined that North Carolina had failed to submit a SIP in response to the NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call, thus starting a 18 month clock for the mandatory imposition of sanctions and the obligation for EPA to promulgate a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) within 24 months. On September 18, 2001, North Carolina submitted a NO<INF>X</INF> SIP that was automatically deemed complete on March 18, 2002, stopping the sanctions clock. Through this Federal Register notice, both the sanctions clock and EPA's FIP obligation are terminated. Separately, a vehicle inspection and maintenance program (I/M) achieving NO<INF>X</INF> reductions has been approved. The NC NO<INF>X</INF> SIP includes a budget demonstration and initial source allocations that demonstrate that North Carolina will achieve the required NO<INF>X</INF> emission reductions in accordance with the timelines set forth in EPA's NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call. The intended effect of this SIP revision is to reduce emissions of NO<INF>X</INF> in order to help areas in the Eastern United States attain the national ambient air quality standard for ozone. EPA proposed approval of this rule on June 24, 2002, (67 FR 42519) and received no adverse comments. Therefore, EPA is approving North Carolina's NO<INF>X</INF> reduction and trading progra… | 2002-12-27 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/27/02-32562/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-north-carolina-nitrogen-oxides-budget-and | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-27/pdf/02-32562.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of North Carolina, through the North Carolina Department of Environmental and Natural Resources (NCDENR), on September 18, 2001.

| 02-32547 | Regulatory Innovations: Pilot-Specific Rule for Electronic Materials in the EPA Region III Mid-Atlantic States; Hazardous Waste Management System; Modification of the Hazardous Waste Program; Cathode Ray Tubes | Rule | Many used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are currently classified as characteristic hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Such CRTs are therefore subject to the hazardous waste regulations of RCRA Subtitle C unless they come from a household or a conditionally exempt small quantity generator. Today EPA is taking direct final action on a revision to its hazardous waste program under RCRA to exclude used CRTs and glass removed from CRTs from the definition of "solid waste" in the EPA Region III Mid-Atlantic States (which include the States of Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia, the Commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Virginia, and the District of Columbia). Additionally, the preamble to this rule clarifies when used CRTs and other used electronic equipment become a "solid waste." This rule will support an ongoing e-Cycling Pilot Project of EPA Region III's Mid-Atlantic States, which is promoting reuse and recycling of electronics. EPA believes that today's direct final rule will encourage increased recycling and better management of these materials in Region III states. EPA has proposed a similar, albeit broader, conditional exclusion for CRTs and certain other electronic materials that would be effective nationwide (June 12, 2002, 67 FR 40508-40528). EPA is promulgating this regional rule now because it believes that implementing the rule in the Region III states will produce information about the CRT conditional exclusion that will be useful to EPA as it assesses the appropriateness of adopting the RCRA exclusion nationally. EPA expects to withdraw the regional rule if and when a final national rule becomes effective. | 2002-12-26 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/26/02-32547/regulatory-innovations-pilot-specific-rule-for-electronic-materials-in-the-epa-region-iii | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-26/pdf/02-32547.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Many used cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are currently classified as characteristic hazardous wastes under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

The Department of the Treasury's Financial Management Service has established the Treasury Offset Program (TOP) in order to centralize the process by which Federal payments are withheld or reduced (in other words, offset) to collect delinquent debts. This interim rule specifically applies to the centralized offset of all types of Federal payments by Federal disbursing officials to collect delinquent, nontax debts owed to the United States. Therefore, this interim rule affects persons who owe delinquent, nontax debts to the United States and who receive Federal payments. It also affects Federal agencies that are owed delinquent debts and that disburse and certify Federal payments.

| 02-31631 | Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Designation of Critical Habitat for Five Carbonate Plants From the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California | Rule | Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are designating critical habitat for five plants endemic (restricted) primarily to carbonate-derived soils in the San Bernardino Mountains of southern California. Four of the plants, Astragalus albens (Cushenbury milk-vetch), Eriogonum ovalifolium var. vineum (Cushenbury buckwheat), Lesquerella kingii ssp. bernardina (San Bernardino Mountains bladderpod), and Oxytheca parishii var. goodmaniana (Cushenbury oxytheca) are federally listed as endangered and one plant, Erigeron parishii (Parish's daisy), is federally listed as threatened. The following total area is designated as critical habitat for each of the following plants in San Bernardino County, California: A. albens, approximately 1,765 hectares (ha) (4,365 acres (ac)); Erigeron parishii, approximately 1,790 ha (4,420 ac); Eriogonum ovalifolium var. vineum, approximately 2,815 ha (6,955 ac); L. kingii ssp. bernardina, approximately 415 ha (1,025 ac); and O. parishii var. goodmaniana, approximately 1,275 ha (3,150 ac). Because of the considerable overlap of the areas designated as critical habitat for each of the five carbonate plants, the total area being designated as critical habitat is approximately 5,335 ha (13,180 ac). Federal agencies proposing, authorizing, or funding actions that may affect the areas designated as critical habitat must consult with us on the effects of the proposed actions pursuant to section 7(a)(2) of the Act. | 2002-12-24 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/24/02-31631/endangered-and-threatened-wildlife-and-plants-designation-of-critical-habitat-for-five-carbonate | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-24/pdf/02-31631.pdf | Interior Department; Fish and Wildlife Service | 253,197 | Pursuant to the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are designating critical habitat for five plants endemic (restricted) primarily to carbonate-derived soils in the San Bernardino... |

| 02-32302 | Taking of Threatened or Endangered Species Incidental to Commercial Fishing Operations | Rule | NMFS is issuing an interim final rule to prohibit fishing with drift gillnets in the California/Oregon (CA/OR) thresher shark/ swordfish drift gillnet fishery in U.S. waters off southern California, south of Point Conception (34[deg]27' N.) and west to the 120[deg]W., from August 15 through August 31, and January 1 through January 31, when the Assistant Administrator for Fisheries publishes a notice that El Nino conditions are present. NMFS has determined that the incidental take of loggerhead sea turtles by this fishery correlates to the area and season being fished during these oceanographic conditions. Time and area closures will result in a reduction in the take of loggerhead turtles by the fishery and are necessary to avoid the likelihood of the CA/OR drift gillnet fishery jeopardizing the continued existence of the loggerhead population. | 2002-12-24 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/24/02-32302/taking-of-threatened-or-endangered-species-incidental-to-commercial-fishing-operations | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-24/pdf/02-32302.pdf | Commerce Department; National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration | 54,361 | NMFS is issuing an interim final rule to prohibit fishing with drift gillnets in the California/Oregon (CA/OR) thresher shark/ swordfish drift gillnet fishery in U.S. waters off southern California, south of Point Conception (34[deg]27' N.) and west to... |
