Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 124 / Wednesday, June 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled
‘‘Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000), requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
Tribal officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have Tribal
implications.’’ ‘‘Policies that have Tribal
implications’’ is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations
that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on
relationship between the Federal
Government and the Indian tribes, or on
the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.’’
This notice of reconsideration does
not have Tribal implications, as
specified in Executive Order 13175. It
will not have substantial direct effects
on Tribal governments, 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 in Executive Order 13175.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this notice of reconsideration.
mstockstill on PROD1PC68 with PROPOSALS
preempt State law. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to today’s
notice of reconsideration.
This notice of reconsideration is not
subject to Executive Order 13211,
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, and Use’’ (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), applies to any rule that:
(1) Is determined to be ‘‘economically
significant’’ as defined under Executive
Order 12866, and (2) concerns an
environmental health or safety risk that
EPA has reason to believe may have a
disproportionate effect on children. If
the regulatory action meets both criteria,
EPA must evaluate the environmental
health or safety effects of the planned
rule on children, and explain why the
planned regulation is preferable to other
potentially effective and reasonably
feasible alternatives EPA considered.
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045
as applying only to those regulatory
actions that are based on health or safety
risks, such that the analysis required
under section 5–501 of the Executive
Order has the potential to influence the
regulation. This notice of
reconsideration is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant, and the
original OSWI rules were based on
technology performance and not on
health and safety risks.

I. National Technology Transfer
Advancement Act
CAA section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act (NTTAA) of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–113;
15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs EPA to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless to do so
would be inconsistent with applicable
law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications,
test methods, sampling procedures,
business practices) developed or
adopted by one or more voluntary
consensus bodies. The NTTAA directs
EPA to provide Congress, through
annual reports to OMB, with
explanations when an agency does not
use available and applicable voluntary
consensus standards.
This notice of reconsideration does
not involve technical standards. EPA’s
compliance with section 12(d) of the
NTTAA has been addressed in the
preamble of the underlying final OSWI
rule. (70 FR 74891, December 16, 2005)

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
This
document concerns the delegation of
unchanged NESHAPs to the Maricopa
County Air Quality Department, the San
Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution
Control District, and the Nevada
Division of Environmental Protection. In
the Rules and Regulations section of this
Federal Register, EPA is amending
regulations to reflect the current
delegation status of NESHAPs in
Arizona, California, and Nevada. EPA is
taking direct final action without prior
proposal because the Agency believes
these actions are not controversial. If we
receive adverse comments, however, we
will publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule and address the
comments in subsequent action based
on this proposed rule. 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,
we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment.
We do not plan to open a second
comment period, so anyone interested
in commenting should do so at this
time. If we do not receive adverse
comments, no further activity is
planned. For further information, please
see the direct final action.
