Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 24, 2007 / Proposed Rules
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 proposes
to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. Redesignation of an area to
attainment under section 107(d)(3)(e) of
the CAA does not impose any new
requirements on small entities.
Redesignation is an action that affects
the status of a geographical area and
does not impose any new regulatory
requirements on sources. Redesignation
of an area to attainment under section
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA does not impose
any new requirements on small entities.
Redesignation is an action that affects
the status of a geographical area and
does not impose any new regulatory
requirements on sources. 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 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). Because this action
affects the status of a geographical area
or allows the state to avoid adopting or
implementing other requirements and
because this action does not impose any
new requirements on sources, this
proposed rule also does 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), nor
will it 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), because it merely
proposes to approve a state rule
implementing a Federal requirement,
and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the CAA.
This proposed rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:24 Oct 23, 2007
Jkt 214001
April 23, 1997), because it approves a
state rule implementing a Federal
standard.
In reviewing SIP 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 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 CAA. Redesignation is an action that
affects the status of a geographical area
and does not impose any new
requirements on sources. 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. As required by
section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61
FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing
this proposed rule, EPA has taken the
necessary steps to eliminate drafting
errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear
legal standard for affected conduct. EPA
has complied with Executive Order
12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by
examining the takings implications of
the rule in accordance with the
‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental
Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk
and Avoidance of Unanticipated
Takings’’ issued under the executive
order.
This rule, proposing to approve the
redesignation of the York Area to
attainment for the 8-hour ozone
NAAQS, the associated maintenance
plan, the 2002 base-year inventory, and
the MVEBs identified in the
maintenance plan, does not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Comment Period Extension
On August 23, 2007, TSA published
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) on the Secure Flight Program
(see 72 FR 48356, August 23, 2007). The
NPRM had a 60-day comment period
that would end on October 22, 2007. In
a request dated September 28, 2007, the
Air Transport Association of America
(ATA) requested that the deadline for
filing comments on the Secure Flight
NPRM be extended from October 22,
2007 to December 21, 2007. In a request
dated October 4, 2007, the International
Air Transport Association (IATA)
similarly requested that the deadline for
filing comments on the Secure Flight
NPRM be extended until January 21,
2008.
TSA has decided to grant, in part,
ATA and IATA’s requests for an
extension and will extend the comment
period for thirty (30) days. The
comment period will now be a total of
90 days and will end on November 21,
2007. This extension will allow the
aviation industry and other interested
entities and individuals additional time
to complete their comments on the
NPRM.
With this extension, the comment
period for the Secure Flight NPRM will
be the same as the comment period that
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
(CBP) provided for the NPRM on
Passenger Manifests for Commercial
Aircraft Arriving in and Departing From
the United States; Passenger and Crew
Manifests for Commercial Vessels
Departing From the United States (‘‘PreDeparture APIS’’). 71 FR 43681 (Aug.
23, 2006) (extending the original
comment period from 30 days to 90
days). As discussed in the Secure Flight
NPRM, the Pre-Departure APIS
rulemaking is related to the Secure
Flight NPRM in that together, the two
rulemakings explain the Department of
Homeland Security’s (DHS’) proposed
unified approach to watchlist matching
for international and domestic
passenger flights.
