FRL–8960–1]
Approval and Promulgation of
Implementation Plans; Revisions to the
Alabama State Implementation Plan;
Birmingham and Jackson County;
Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; correcting
amendment.
SUMMARY: On March 26, 2009 (71 FR
13118), EPA published a document
approving a revision to the Birmingham
and Jackson County portions of the
Alabama State Implementation Plan
(SIP). This action adds Table (c), which
was inadvertently omitted, to Alabama’s
Identification of Plan section of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
DATES: This action is effective
September 23, 2009.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the
documentation used in the action being
corrected are available for inspection
during normal business hours at the
following location: U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 4, 61 Forsyth
Street, SW., Atlanta, Georgia 30303–

Toxics Management Division, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency,

Somerville’s telephone number is 404–
562–9025. She can also be reached via
electronic mail at
Somerville.amanetta@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action adds Table (c) for a regulation
that appears in Alabama’s Identification
of Plan section at 40 CFR 52.50(c). The
regulation, Alabama Chapter 335–3–17–
.01 ‘‘Transportation Conformity,’’ was
approved by EPA on March 26, 2009 (71
FR 13170). However, EPA inadvertently
omitted Table (c) in the regulatory text
of the Direct Final Rule. EPA is
correcting this inadvertent error by
inserting Table (c) into Alabama’s
Identification of Plan section of the
Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR
52.50(c).
EPA has determined that today’s
action falls under the ‘‘good cause’’
exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA)
which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’
authorizes agencies to dispense with
public participation where public notice
and comment procedures are
impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary
to the public interest. Public notice and
comment for this action are unnecessary
because today’s action to identify, in the
CFR, the state effective date of
Alabama’s regulation has no substantive
impact on EPA’s March 26, 2009,
approval of this regulation. The
omission of Table (c) in the regulatory
text of EPA’s final rule published on
March 26, 2009, makes no substantive
difference to EPA’s analysis as set out in
that rule because EPA was aware at the
time of our approval that the state
regulation at issue was effective on May
26, 2009. In addition, EPA can identify
no particular reason why the public
would be interested in being notified of
the correction of this omission, or in
having the opportunity to comment on
the correction prior to this action being
finalized, since this correction action
does not change the meaning of the
regulation at issue or otherwise change
EPA’s analysis of Alabama’s submittal
(71 FR 13118). EPA also finds that there
is good cause under APA section
553(d)(3) for this correction to become
effective on the date of publication of
this action. Section 553(d)(3) of the APA
allows an effective date less than 30
days after publication ‘‘as otherwise
provided by the agency for good cause
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:39 Sep 22, 2009
Jkt 217001
found and published with the rule.’’ 5
U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The purpose of the 30day waiting period prescribed in APA
section 553(d)(3) is to give affected
parties a reasonable time to adjust their
behavior and prepare before the final
rule takes effect. Today’s rule, however,
does not create any new regulatory
requirements such that affected parties
would need time to prepare before the
rule takes effect. Rather, today’s rule
merely corrects an inadvertent error of
omission in the regulatory text of a prior
rule by adding Table (c) for the Alabama
regulation which EPA approved on
March 26, 2009. For these reasons, EPA
finds good cause under APA section
553(d)(3) for this correction to become
effective on the date of publication of
this action.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 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 CAA. 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
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
48385
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; 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).
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
circuit by November 23, 2009. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action 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 action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

SUMMARY: On March 26, 2009 (71 FR 13118), EPA published a document
approving a revision to the Birmingham and Jackson County portions of
the Alabama State Implementation Plan (SIP). This action adds Table
(c), which was inadvertently omitted, to Alabama's Identification of

DATES: This action is effective September 23, 2009.

30303-8960. Ms. Somerville's telephone number is 404-562-9025. She can
also be reached via electronic mail at Somerville.amanetta@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action adds Table (c) for a regulation
that appears in Alabama's Identification of Plan section at 40 CFR
52.50(c). The regulation, Alabama Chapter 335-3-17-.01 ``Transportation
Conformity,'' was approved by EPA on March 26, 2009 (71 FR 13170).
However, EPA inadvertently omitted Table (c) in the regulatory text of
the Direct Final Rule. EPA is correcting this inadvertent error by
inserting Table (c) into Alabama's Identification of Plan section of
the Code of Federal Regulations at 40 CFR 52.50(c).
EPA has determined that today's action falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes
agencies to dispense with public participation where public notice and
comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest. Public notice and comment for this action are
unnecessary because today's action to identify, in the CFR, the state
effective date of Alabama's regulation has no substantive impact on
EPA's March 26, 2009, approval of this regulation. The omission of
Table (c) in the regulatory text of EPA's final rule published on March
26, 2009, makes no substantive difference to EPA's analysis as set out
in that rule because EPA was aware at the time of our approval that the
state regulation at issue was effective on May 26, 2009. In addition,
EPA can identify no particular reason why the public would be
interested in being notified of the correction of this omission, or in
having the opportunity to comment on the correction prior to this
action being finalized, since this correction action does not change
the meaning of the regulation at issue or otherwise change EPA's
analysis of Alabama's submittal (71 FR 13118). EPA also finds that
there is good cause under APA section 553(d)(3) for this correction to
become effective on the date of publication of this action. Section
553(d)(3) of the APA allows an effective date less than 30 days after
publication ``as otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found
and published with the rule.'' 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). The purpose of the
30-day waiting period prescribed in APA section 553(d)(3) is to give
affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare
before the final rule takes effect. Today's rule, however, does not
create any new regulatory requirements such that affected parties would
need time to prepare before the rule takes effect. Rather, today's rule
merely corrects an inadvertent error of omission in the regulatory text
of a prior rule by adding Table (c) for the Alabama regulation which
EPA approved on March 26, 2009. For these reasons, EPA finds good cause
under APA section 553(d)(3) for this correction to become effective on
the date of publication of this action.
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 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 CAA. 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

Is certified as not having a significant economic impact

Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded

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

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 CAA; 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).
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 circuit by November 23, 2009. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action 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 action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
