Subpart V—Maryland
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
*
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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
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 July 23, 2012. 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 determination that the
Baltimore Area has attained the 1997
p.m.2.5 NAAQS may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
2. Section 52.1081 is amended by
adding paragraph (c) to read as follows:
■
§ 52.1081
matter.
Control strategy: Particulate
*
*
*
*
(c) Determination of Attainment. EPA
has determined, as of May 22, 2012,
based on ambient air quality data of
2008 to 2010 and the preliminary data
of 2011, that the PM2.5 nonattainment
area of Baltimore, Maryland has attained
the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. This
determination, in accordance with 40
CFR 51.1004(c), suspends the
requirements for this area to submit an
attainment demonstration, associated
reasonably available control measures, a
reasonable further progress plan,
contingency measures, and other
planning SIPs related to attainment of
the standard for as long as this area
continues to meet the 1997 annual PM2.5
NAAQS.
■ 3. Section 52.1082 is amended by
adding paragraph (e) to read as follows:
§ 52.1082
Determinations of attainment.
*
*
*
*
*
(e) Based upon EPA’s review of the air
quality data for the 3-year period 2007
to 2009, EPA determined that the PM2.5
nonattainment area of Baltimore,
Maryland attained the 1997 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS by the applicable
attainment date of April 5, 2010.
Therefore, EPA has met the requirement
pursuant to CAA section 179(c) to
determine, based on the area’s air
quality as of the attainment date,
whether the area attained the NAAQS.
EPA has also determined that the PM2.5
nonattainment area of Baltimore,
Maryland is not subject to the
consequences of failing to attain
pursuant to section 179(d).

to aid in locating information in this
preamble.
I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On February 28, 2012, EPA published
a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR)
for the State of Vermont. See 77 FR
11914. The NPR proposed approval of
the Vermont State Implementation Plan
(SIP) that addresses regional haze for the
first planning period from 2008 through
2018. It was submitted by the VT DEC
on August 26, 2009, with a
supplemental submittal on January 3,
2012. Specifically, EPA proposed to
approve Vermont’s August 26, 2009 SIP
revision, and its supplement, as meeting
the applicable implementing regulations
found in 40 CFR 51.308. EPA also
proposed to approve Vermont’s revised
Section 5–221, ‘‘Prohibition of
Potentially Polluting Materials in Fuel,’’
and incorporate this regulation into the
Vermont SIP.
A detailed explanation of the
requirements for regional haze SIPs, as
well as EPA’s analysis of Vermont’s
Regional Haze SIP submittal was
provided in the NPR and is not restated
here.
EPA received one comment on the
NPR. It was from the U.S. Forest Service
in support of the proposed approval of
Vermont’s Regional Haze SIP submittal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Vermont’s August
26, 2009 SIP revision and supplemental
submittal on January 3, 2012, as meeting
the applicable implementing regulations
found in 40 CFR 51.308. In addition,
EPA is approving Vermont’s revised
Section 5–221, ‘‘Prohibition of
Potentially Polluting Materials in Fuel,’’
and incorporating this regulation into
the Vermont SIP.
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
III. 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
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:26 May 21, 2012
Jkt 226001
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
PO 00000

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 Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by July 23, 2012.
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 Clean Air
Act § 307(b)(2), 42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(2).

[[Page 30213]]
to aid in locating information in this preamble.
I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On February 28, 2012, EPA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPR) for the State of Vermont. See 77 FR 11914. The NPR proposed
approval of the Vermont State Implementation Plan (SIP) that addresses
regional haze for the first planning period from 2008 through 2018. It
was submitted by the VT DEC on August 26, 2009, with a supplemental
submittal on January 3, 2012. Specifically, EPA proposed to approve
Vermont's August 26, 2009 SIP revision, and its supplement, as meeting
the applicable implementing regulations found in 40 CFR 51.308. EPA
also proposed to approve Vermont's revised Section 5-221, ``Prohibition
of Potentially Polluting Materials in Fuel,'' and incorporate this
regulation into the Vermont SIP.
A detailed explanation of the requirements for regional haze SIPs,
as well as EPA's analysis of Vermont's Regional Haze SIP submittal was
provided in the NPR and is not restated here.
EPA received one comment on the NPR. It was from the U.S. Forest
Service in support of the proposed approval of Vermont's Regional Haze
SIP submittal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Vermont's August 26, 2009 SIP revision and
supplemental submittal on January 3, 2012, as meeting the applicable
implementing regulations found in 40 CFR 51.308. In addition, EPA is
approving Vermont's revised Section 5-221, ``Prohibition of Potentially
Polluting Materials in Fuel,'' and incorporating this regulation into
the Vermont SIP.
III. 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
