VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
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, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed
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 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
it does not involve technical standards;
and
• Does not provide the EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or 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,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:58 Jul 19, 2016
Jkt 238001
November 9, 2000), nor will it impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law.

with a supplementary submittal on
December 30, 2015, as a revision to its
State Implementation Plan (SIP). In
accordance with the requirements of the
Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For
further information, please see the
direct final action, of the same title,
which is located in the Rules and
Regulations 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
the 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.
