Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 26 / Thursday, February 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
cprice-sewell on PROD1PC72 with RULES
rules section of this Federal Register
publication, EPA is publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to approve the State Plan
should adverse comments be filed. This
rule will be effective April 9, 2007
without further notice unless the
Agency receives adverse comments by
March 12, 2007.
If EPA receives such comments, then
EPA will publish a document
withdrawing the final rule and
informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments
received will then be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a
second comment period. Parties
interested in commenting should do so
at this time. If no such comments are
received, the public is advised that this
rule will be effective on April 9, 2007
and no further action will be taken on
the proposed rule. Please note that if we
receive adverse comment on any
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.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this rule 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,
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This
rule 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 rule 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
CAA. 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 111(d)/129 plan
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the CAA. 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
111(d)/129 plan submission for failure
to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA, when it reviews a 111(d)/129 plan
submission, to use VCS in place of a
111(d)/129 plan submission that
otherwise satisfies the provisions of the
CAA. 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 rule is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
circuit by April 9, 2007. 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 rule may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 26 / Thursday, February 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations
amended final rule that was published
in the Federal Register at 71 FR 52498,
September 6, 2006. The original final
rule, which was published initially in
the Federal Register at 70 FR 67786,
November 8, 2005, broadly applied
GSA’s accessibility standards to the
design, construction and alteration of
buildings subject to the Architectural
Barriers Act (other than residential
structures subject to the Architectural
Barriers Act and facilities of the
Department of Defense and the Postal
Service), as provided by statute. When
the implementation dates for the
accessibility standards were amended
on September 6, 2006, the amendment
inadvertently deleted reference to
facilities other than those that were
Federally-owned or leased. Accordingly,
this final rule corrects this oversight.
Except as expressly modified by this
final rule, all other terms and conditions
of the Architectural Barriers Act
standards remain in full force and effect.
