For a complete discussion of all the administrative requirements applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register. The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act or any other stature unless the agency certifies that the rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small government organizations, and small government jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today’s proposed rule on small entities, small entity is defined as follows: (1) A small business in the regulated industry that has a gross annual revenue less than $6 million (this varies by industry category, ranging up to $10.5 million for North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 562213 (VSMWC)), based on Small Business Administration’s size standards; (2) A small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a population of less than 50,000; or (3) A small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise that is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.

    This table is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a 
guide for readers regarding entities likely to be regulated by the 
proposed rule. To determine whether your facility is regulated by the 
proposed rule, you should examine the applicability criteria in 40 CFR 
60.2885 through 60.2888 of subpart EEEE, and in the emission guidelines 
for existing sources located at 40 CFR 60.2991 through 60.2994 of 
subpart FFFF. If you have any questions regarding the applicability of 
the proposed rule to a particular entity, contact the person listed in 
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.
What Are the Administrative Requirements for This Action?
    For a complete discussion of all the administrative requirements 
applicable to this action, see the direct final rule in the Rules and 
Regulations section of this Federal Register.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative 
Procedures Act or any other stature unless the agency certifies that 
the rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. Small entities include small businesses, small 
government organizations, and small government jurisdictions.
    For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's proposed rule on 
small entities, small entity is defined as follows:
    (1) A small business in the regulated industry that has a gross 
annual revenue less than $6 million (this varies by industry category, 
ranging up to $10.5 million for North American Industrial 
Classification System (NAICS) code 562213 (VSMWC)), based on Small 
Business Administration's size standards;
    (2) A small governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a 
city, county, town, school district or special district with a 
population of less than 50,000; or
    (3) A small organization that is any not-for-profit enterprise that 
is independently owned and operated and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impact of today's proposed rule on 
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action 
does not propose any changes to the final OSWI rule, in which we 
determined that the final rule would not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    For additional information, see the direct final rule published in 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register.
