Nebraska; Update to Materials
Incorporated by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of
administrative change.
SUMMARY: EPA is updating the materials
submitted by Nebraska that are
incorporated by reference (IBR) into the
State implementation plan (SIP). The
regulations affected by this update have

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is
a living document which the state
revises as necessary to address the
unique air pollution problems in the
state. Therefore, EPA from time to time
must take action on SIP revisions
containing new and/or revised
regulations to make them part of the
SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968),
EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference Federallyapproved SIPs, as a result of
consultations between EPA and the
Office of Federal Register. The
description of the revised SIP
document, IBR procedures and
‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are
discussed in further detail in the May
22, 1997, Federal Register document.
On February 12, 1999, EPA published
a document in the Federal Register (64
FR 7091) beginning the new IBR
procedure for Nebraska. On December 1,
2003 (68 FR 67045), EPA published an
update to the IBR material for Nebraska.
In this document, EPA is doing the
following:
1. Announcing the update to the IBR
material as of July 1, 2009.
2. Correcting the date format in the
‘‘State effective date’’ or ‘‘State
Submittal date’’ and ‘‘EPA approval
date’’ columns in § 52.1420 paragraphs
(c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical
month/day/year without additional
zeros.
3. Modifying the Federal Register
citation in § 52.1420 paragraphs (c), (d)

30JYR1
37940
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 145 / Thursday, July 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations
and (e) to reflect the beginning page of
the preamble as opposed to the page
number of the regulatory text.
EPA has determined that today’s rule
falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ exemption
in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedures Act (APA)
which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’
authorizes agencies to dispense with
public participation and section
553(d)(3), which allows an agency to
make a rule effective immediately
(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed
effective date otherwise provided for in
the APA). Today’s rule simply codifies
provisions which are already in effect as
a matter of law in Federal and approved
State programs. Under section 553 of the
APA, an agency may find good cause
where procedures are ‘‘impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Public comment is
‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the
public interest’’ since the codification
only reflects existing law. Immediate
notice in the CFR benefits the public by
providing notice of the updated
Nebraska SIP compilation.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• 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);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:57 Jul 29, 2009
Jkt 217001
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
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 action 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 action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
EPA has also determined that the
provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the
Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for
judicial review are not applicable to this
action. This action is simply an
announcement of prior rulemakings that
have previously undergone notice and
comment. Prior EPA rulemaking actions
for each individual component of the
Nebraska SIP compilation previously
afforded interested parties the
opportunity to file a petition for judicial
review in the United States Court of
Appeals for the appropriate circuit
within 60 days of such rulemaking
action.

Approval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans—
Alabama: Birmingham 1997 8-Hour
Ozone Contingency Measures
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final
action to approve revisions to the
Alabama State Implementation Plan
(SIP), submitted by the Alabama
Department of Environmental
Management (ADEM), on February 6,
2008, to adopt contingency measures in
the form of permit conditions for two
cement kilns. These contingency
measures are for the maintenance of the
1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in
Jefferson and Shelby Counties
(‘‘Birmingham Area’’). On May 12, 2006,
EPA approved the 8-hour ozone
redesignation of the Birmingham Area
from nonattainment to attainment for
the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see, 71
FR 27631). Additional measures may be
necessary in the future; however, these
revisions qualify as contingency
measures as required under Section
175A(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
When the Birmingham Area was
redesignated to attainment, Alabama
was also required to submit a
maintenance plan which included
provisions for contingency measures
should the Area violate the standard
after being redesignated to attainment.
The May 12, 2006, maintenance plan
was designed to keep the Birmingham
Area in attainment through 2017,
initially, with a later extension of the
maintenance plan to include a time
period of no less than 20 years after the
Area was redesignated originally. After
attaining the 1997 8-hour ozone
standard based on 2003–2005 ambient
air monitoring data, the Birmingham
Area violated the standard with 2004–
2006 ambient air monitoring data. The
February 6, 2008, SIP revision, provided
by Alabama for EPA approval, was
submitted to fulfill ADEM’s
commitment to adopt within 18 months
of a violation of the 1997 8-hour ozone
standard, one or more contingency
measures to help the Area re-attain the
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:57 Jul 29, 2009
Jkt 217001
standard. EPA is approving these
revisions pursuant to section 110 of the
CAA. On March 27, 2008, EPA issued a
revised ozone standard (see, 73 FR
16436). This action, however, is being
taken to address requirements under the
1997 8-hour ozone standard. EPA will
address the Birmingham compliance
with the 2008 8-hour ozone standard in
the future.
DATES: This rule is effective on
September 28, 2009 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse
comment by August 31, 2009. If EPA
receives such comment, EPA will
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public
that this rule will not take effect.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Nebraska; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is updating the materials submitted by Nebraska that are

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Evelyn VanGoethem at (913) 551-7659,
or by e-mail at vangoethem.evelyn@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is a living document which the state
revises as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in
the state. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP
revisions containing new and/or revised regulations to make them part
of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures
for incorporating by reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a result of
consultations between EPA and the Office of Federal Register. The
description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and
``Identification of plan'' format are discussed in further detail in
the May 22, 1997, Federal Register document.
On February 12, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal
Register (64 FR 7091) beginning the new IBR procedure for Nebraska. On
December 1, 2003 (68 FR 67045), EPA published an update to the IBR
material for Nebraska.
In this document, EPA is doing the following:
1. Announcing the update to the IBR material as of July 1, 2009.
2. Correcting the date format in the ``State effective date'' or
``State Submittal date'' and ``EPA approval date'' columns in Sec.
52.1420 paragraphs (c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical month/day/year
without additional zeros.
3. Modifying the Federal Register citation in Sec. 52.1420
paragraphs (c), (d)
[[Page 37940]]
and (e) to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to the
page number of the regulatory text.
EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the ``good cause''
exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act
(APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to
dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3), which allows
an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the
30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA).
Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as
a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. Under section
553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are
``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public
interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate
notice in the CFR benefits the public by providing notice of the
updated Nebraska SIP compilation.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
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);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 action 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 action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of
the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not
applicable to this action. This action is simply an announcement of
prior rulemakings that have previously undergone notice and comment.
Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the
Nebraska SIP compilation previously afforded interested parties the
opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such
rulemaking action.
