PM10 Nonattainment Areas, Arizona;
Withdrawal of Direct Final Rule
Disapproval and Promulgation of Air
Quality Implementation Plans; Indiana;
Addition of Incentive for Regulatory

AGENCY:
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Withdrawal of direct final rule.
AGENCY:
Due to the receipt of an
adverse comment, EPA is withdrawing
the November 2, 2010 (75 FR 67220),
direct final rule determining that the
Hayden, Nogales, and Paul Spur/
Douglas areas in Arizona had attained
the national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) for particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter of less
than or equal to ten microns by the
applicable attainment date. On the basis
of this determination, EPA concluded
that these three ‘‘moderate’’
nonattainment areas were not subject to
reclassification. In the direct final rule,
EPA stated that if adverse comments
were submitted by December 2, 2010,
the rule would be withdrawn and not
take effect. On November 3, 2010, EPA
received a comment. EPA believes this
comment is adverse and, therefore, EPA
is withdrawing the direct final rule. EPA
will address the comment in a
subsequent final action based upon the
proposed action also published on
November 2, 2010 (75 FR 67303). EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action.
DATES: The direct final rule published at
75 FR 67220 on November 2, 2010, is
withdrawn as of November 29, 2010.

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
On July 6, 2007, the Indiana
Department of Environmental
Management (IDEM) submitted a
request to EPA to amend its State
Implementation Plan (SIP) to add
incentives for regulatory flexibility for
participants in its Environmental
Stewardship Program (ESP) and
Comprehensive Local Environmental
Action Network (CLEAN) Community
Challenge Program. Indiana requested
that EPA approve the following for ESP
and CLEAN members: The
incorporation by reference of certain
incentives under the National
Environmental Performance Track
(NEPT) Program, monthly averaging of
volatile organic compound (VOC)
coating limits, and the processing of
pollution prevention projects as minor
permit revisions. EPA proposed to
disapprove these three incentives on
August 19, 2010, and received no
comments.
This final rule is effective on
December 29, 2010.

docket for this action under Docket ID

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
section is arranged as follows:
I. What public comments were received on
the proposed approval and what is EPA’s
response?
II. What action is EPA taking today and what
is the reason for this action?
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What public comments were received
on the proposed approval and what is
EPA’s response?
EPA’s August 19, 2010, proposed
action at 75 FR 51188 provided a 30-day
public comment period. We did not
receive any comments on the proposed
action.
II. What action is EPA taking today and
what is the reason for this action?
EPA is disapproving IDEM’s request
for an amendment to the Indiana SIP for
incentives for regulatory flexibility for
its ESP and CLEAN Community
Challenge Program. EPA is disapproving
the incorporation by reference of
Federal incentives for NEPT members
because EPA has discontinued its NEPT
program. EPA is disapproving monthly
averaging of VOC coating limits because
this would constitute a relaxation that
could exacerbate high ozone levels and
contribute to violations of the ozone
standard. EPA is disapproving the third
incentive, which affects public notice
requirements for pollution prevention
projects, because it relaxes the existing
SIP-approved public notice
requirements and is inconsistent with
EPA minor new source rule
requirements.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and,
therefore, is not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget.
