Download as PDF 45404 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 156 / Tuesday, August 14, 2007 / Proposed Rules TIP of the SRMT’s commitment and planning as it applies to regional haze. sroberts on PROD1PC70 with PROPOSALS VI. What EPA action is being taken today? With the exceptions below, the EPA is proposing approval of the proposed SRMT TIP, which contains programs to address: Ambient air quality standards for SO2, PM, NO2, and O3; Emissions Inventory; Permitting; Synthetic Minor Facilities; Source Surveillance; Open Burning; Enforcement; Review of State Permits; and Regional Haze Planning. The EPA is not taking action on the SRMT TIP regarding fluoride and other metal standards because the EPA has not promulgated ambient air quality standards for these metals that can be enforced through a federally-approved SIP or TIP. EPA is not taking action on the SRMT TIP lead standard because it is not equivalent to the EPA air quality standard. The public docket contains SRMT’s proposed TIP, TAS Eligibility determination, and enforcement MOA with EPA. Contact the For Further Information Contact for additional information on the materials contained in the docket. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)), this proposed 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 proposed action merely proposes to approve laws of an eligible Indian tribe as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by Tribal law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this proposed 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 proposes to approve pre-existing requirements under Tribal law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by Tribal 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). 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 VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:12 Aug 13, 2007 Jkt 211001 tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal implications.’’ EPA has concluded that this proposed rule will have tribal implications in that it will have substantial direct effects on the SRMT. However, it will neither impose substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. EPA is proposing to approve the SRMT’s TIP at the request of the Tribe. Tribal law will not be preempted as the SRMT has already incorporated the TIP into Tribal Law on October 3, 2002. The Tribe has applied for, and fully supports, the proposed approval of the TIP. If it is finally approved, the TIP will become federally enforceable. EPA worked and consulted with officials of the SRMT early in the process of developing this proposed regulation to permit them to have meaningful and timely input into its development. In order to administer an approved TIP, tribes must be determined eligible (40 CFR part 49) for TAS for the purpose of administering a TIP. During the TAS eligibility process, the Tribe and EPA worked together to ensure that the appropriate information was submitted to EPA. SRMT and EPA also worked together throughout the process of development and Tribal adoption of the TIP. The Tribe and EPA also entered into an enforcement MOA. 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 proposes to approve a Tribal rule implementing a TIP over areas within the exterior boundaries of the St. Regis Mohawk Reservation, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This proposed 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. The requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not apply to this proposed rule. In reviewing TIP submissions, the EPA’s role is to approve an eligible tribe’s submission, provided that it meets the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the Tribe to use voluntary consensus PO 00000 Frm 00017 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 standards (VCS), the EPA has no authority to disapprove a TIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for the EPA, when it reviews a TIP submission, to use VCS in place of a TIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the NTTAA do not apply. This proposed 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.).

and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 
the State of Texas, through the Texas Commission on Environmental 
Quality (TCEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions
