Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 83 / Monday, May 2, 2005 / Rules and Regulations
December 13, 2002, and ending
September 30, 2003. Since this period
has now expired, the proposed changes
to 38 CFR 36.4312 are no longer
necessary to reflect the increase.
The proposed rule provided for a 60day comment period that ended
November 10, 2003. We received three
comments. The three commenters
generally support the proposal for VA
guaranteed hybrid ARM loans. Two
believe the current ceiling on the annual
adjustment cap of one percent is not in
line with comparable conventional
loans with a fixed-rate period of five or
more years. They believe legislation
should be enacted to remove the one
percent annual adjustment cap
limitation for loans with a fixed-rate
period of five years or more. One
requested that if such legislation is
enacted VA implement the change as
quickly as possible. This suggestion has
been noted and will be considered in
the event of future legislation.
The third commenter requested that
VA clarify language in the proposal
regarding the increase in the fee payable
to VA by a person assuming a VA
guaranteed loan. The increase was
effective for the period beginning
December 13, 2002, and ending
September 30, 2003, and was being
carried out under the authority of the
statute. As the effective period has now
expired, the proposed change to
§ 36.4312(e)(2) has been dropped from
the final rule.
Based on the rationale set forth in the
proposed rule we are affirming as a final
rule the change made to § 36.4311 of
title 38, Code of Federal Regulations.
Unfunded Mandates
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that agencies
prepare an assessment of anticipated
costs and benefits before developing any
rule that may result in expenditure by
State, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100 million or more in any given year.
This rule would have no such effect on
State, local, or tribal governments, or the
private sector.

ACTION: Final rule.
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA or Agency) is taking final
action to approve Washington’s State
Implementation Plan for the Wallula,
Washington serious nonattainment area
for particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal
to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10).
Wallula was initially classified as a
moderate nonattainment area for PM10
pursuant to the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990. In 2001, it was
reclassified as a serious nonattainment
area for PM10. As a result, Washington
was required to submit a serious area
plan for bringing the area into
attainment. Washington submitted a
serious area plan on November 30, 2004.
We are approving this plan for Wallula,
Washington because it meets the Clean
Air Act requirements for PM10 serious
nonattainment areas.
DATES: Effective June 1, 2005.

Rulemaking?
II. What Comments Did We Receive on the
Proposed Action?
III. What Is Our Final Action?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What Is the Background for This
Action?
On November 30, 2004, the State of
Washington, Department of Ecology
(Ecology) submitted a State
Implementation Plan revision entitled
‘‘A Plan for Attaining Particulate Matter
(PM10) Ambient Air Quality Standards
in the Wallula Serious Nonattainment
Area’’ (Wallula serious area plan or
Plan). This plan was submitted to meet
subparts 1 and 4 Clean Air Act (CAA or
Act) planning requirements for the
Wallula PM10 serious nonattainment
area. A detailed description of our
proposed action to approve this plan
was published in a proposed
rulemaking in the Federal Register on
February 1, 2005. (70 FR 5086).
II. What Comments Did We Receive on
the Proposed Action?
EPA provided a 30-day review and
comment period on our proposal
published in the Federal Register on
February 1, 2005. No comments were
received on the proposed rulemaking.
III. What Is Our Final Action?
We are taking final action to approve
the Wallula PM10 serious area plan
because it meets all the requirements for
a serious area plan under the Clean Air
Act. After further consideration,
however, we have decided not to
approve as part of this action to approve
the State’s revised definition of ‘‘major
stationary source’’ in WAC 173–400–
112 (effective September 15, 2001). This
revised definition was submitted by the
State on June 29, 2004 as part of a larger
VerDate jul<14>2003
17:18 Apr 29, 2005
Jkt 205001
rulemaking package, and was proposed
for approval in order to meet the serious
area planning requirements of CAA
section 189(b)(3). Upon further review,
we have determined that it is
unnecessary to take action on this
revision at this time because federallyapproved WAC 173–400–030(40)
(approved at 60 FR 28726, June 2, 1995)
already meets the requirements of CAA
section 189(b)(3). In light of this fact and
our desire to avoid the potential
confusion that could arise by acting on
only a small portion of the June 29, 2004
SIP submittal, we have decided to not
take final action on the revised
definition at this time.
EPA’s decision to not take final action
at this time on the definition of
‘‘stationary source’’ in the June 29, 2004
rulemaking package does not in any way
impact the existing federally-approved
new source review requirements for the
State of Washington. Rather, we believe
it is more efficient and less confusing to
act on this provision at the same time
we are acting on other parts of the June
2004 submittal.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
therefore is not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget. For
this reason, this action is also not
subject to Executive Order 13211,
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This action merely approves
state law as meeting Federal
requirements and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. Accordingly, the
Administrator certifies that this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this
rule approves pre-existing requirements
under state law and does not impose
any additional enforceable duty beyond
that required by state law, it 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).
This rule also does not have tribal
implications because it will not have a
substantial direct effect on one or more
Indian tribes, on the relationship
between the Federal Government and
Indian tribes, or on the distribution of
power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
as specified by Executive Order 13175
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This
action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does 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, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely
approves a state rule implementing a
Federal standard, and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power
and responsibilities established in the
Clean Air Act. This rule also is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
‘‘Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),
because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the
absence of a prior existing requirement
for the State to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission,
to use VCS in place of a SIP submission
that otherwise satisfies the provisions of
the Clean Air Act. Thus, the
requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply. This rule does
not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by July 1, 2005.

shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is taking
final action to approve Washington's State Implementation Plan for the
Wallula, Washington serious nonattainment area for particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10
micrometers (PM10). Wallula was initially classified as a
moderate nonattainment area for PM10 pursuant to the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990. In 2001, it was reclassified as a serious
nonattainment area for PM10. As a result, Washington was
required to submit a serious area plan for bringing the area into
attainment. Washington submitted a serious area plan on November 30,
2004. We are approving this plan for Wallula, Washington because it
meets the Clean Air Act requirements for PM10 serious
nonattainment areas.

I. What Is the Background of This Rulemaking?

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What Is the Background for This Action?
On November 30, 2004, the State of Washington, Department of
Ecology (Ecology) submitted a State Implementation Plan revision
entitled ``A Plan for Attaining Particulate Matter (PM10)
Ambient Air Quality Standards in the Wallula Serious Nonattainment
Area'' (Wallula serious area plan or Plan). This plan was submitted to
meet subparts 1 and 4 Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) planning requirements
for the Wallula PM10 serious nonattainment area. A detailed
description of our proposed action to approve this plan was published
in a proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register on February 1, 2005.
(70 FR 5086).
II. What Comments Did We Receive on the Proposed Action?
EPA provided a 30-day review and comment period on our proposal
published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2005. No comments were
received on the proposed rulemaking.
III. What Is Our Final Action?
We are taking final action to approve the Wallula PM10
serious area plan because it meets all the requirements for a serious
area plan under the Clean Air Act. After further consideration,
however, we have decided not to approve as part of this action to
approve the State's revised definition of ``major stationary source''
in WAC 173-400-112 (effective September 15, 2001). This revised
definition was submitted by the State on June 29, 2004 as part of a
larger rulemaking package, and was proposed for approval in order to
meet the serious area planning requirements of CAA section 189(b)(3).
Upon further review, we have determined that it is unnecessary to take
action on this revision at this time because federally-approved WAC
173-400-030(40) (approved at 60 FR 28726, June 2, 1995) already meets
the requirements of CAA section 189(b)(3). In light of this fact and
our desire to avoid the potential confusion that could arise by acting
on only a small portion of the June 29, 2004 SIP submittal, we have
decided to not take final action on the revised definition at this
time.
EPA's decision to not take final action at this time on the
definition of ``stationary source'' in the June 29, 2004 rulemaking
package does not in any way impact the existing federally-approved new
source review requirements for the State of Washington. Rather, we
believe it is more efficient and less confusing to act on this
provision at the same time we are acting on other parts of the June
2004 submittal.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
state law, it 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).
This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 1, 2005.
[[Page 22599]]
Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this
final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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. (See section
307(b)(2).)
