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 is the background for this action?
A. When did the State submit the
requested SIP revision to EPA?
B. Did Indiana hold public hearings on this
SIP revision?
II. What Revision did the State request be
incorporated into the SIP?
III. What action is EPA taking today?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What is the background for this
action?
A. When did the State submit the
requested SIP revision to EPA?
IDEM submitted the requested SIP
revision, consisting primarily of an
updated reference to the 2011 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), on May 14,
2012.
sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
B. Did Indiana hold public hearings on
this SIP revision?
IDEM held public hearings on
February 1, 2012. IDEM did not receive
any public comments concerning the
SIP revision.
II. What revision did the State request
be incorporated into the SIP?
The State has requested that the SIP
revision include:
Rule 326 IAC 1–1–3, definition of
‘‘References to Code of Federal
Regulations.’’ IDEM updated the
reference to the CFR in 326 IAC 1–1–3
from the 2009 edition to the 2011
edition. This is solely an administrative
change that allows Indiana to reference
a more current version of the CFR. By
amending 326 IAC 1–1–3 to reference
the most current version of the CFR, the
provision in Title 326 of the IAC will be
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:47 Jul 16, 2012
Jkt 226001
consistent and current with federal
regulations.
III. What action is EPA taking today?
We are approving a revisions to the
Indiana SIP to update the definition at
326 IAC 1–1–3, ‘‘References to the
CFR,’’ to refer to the 2011 edition.
We are publishing this action without
prior proposal because we view this as
a noncontroversial amendment and
anticipate no adverse comments.
However, in the Proposed Rules section
of this Federal Register publication, we
are publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposal to approve the
state plan if relevant adverse written
comments are filed. This rule will be
effective September 17, 2012 without
further notice unless we receive relevant
adverse written comments by August
16, 2012. If we receive such comments,
we will withdraw this action before the
effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will
withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in
commenting on this action should do so
at this time. If we do not receive any
comments, this action will be effective
September 17, 2012.
IV. 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 Clean Air 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).
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 September 17,
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

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 137 / Tuesday, July 17, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. Parties with objections to this
direct final rule are encouraged to file a
comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this
action published in the Proposed Rules
section of today’s Federal Register,
rather than file an immediate petition
for judicial review of this direct final
rule and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

also approving a SIP revision that
applies Idaho’s Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) Program to
greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sources
above certain thresholds, updates
Idaho’s SIP to incorporate by reference
revised versions of specific federal
regulations, and removes unnecessary
language from the SIP due to the
incorporation by reference of the federal
NAAQS and PSD regulations. In

B. Did Indiana hold public hearings on this SIP revision?
II. What Revision did the State request be incorporated into the
SIP?
III. What action is EPA taking today?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What is the background for this action?
A. When did the State submit the requested SIP revision to EPA?
IDEM submitted the requested SIP revision, consisting primarily of
an updated reference to the 2011 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), on
May 14, 2012.
B. Did Indiana hold public hearings on this SIP revision?
IDEM held public hearings on February 1, 2012. IDEM did not receive
any public comments concerning the SIP revision.
II. What revision did the State request be incorporated into the SIP?
The State has requested that the SIP revision include:
Rule 326 IAC 1-1-3, definition of ``References to Code of Federal
Regulations.'' IDEM updated the reference to the CFR in 326 IAC 1-1-3
from the 2009 edition to the 2011 edition. This is solely an
administrative change that allows Indiana to reference a more current
version of the CFR. By amending 326 IAC 1-1-3 to reference the most
current version of the CFR, the provision in Title 326 of the IAC will
be consistent and current with federal regulations.
III. What action is EPA taking today?
We are approving a revisions to the Indiana SIP to update the
definition at 326 IAC 1-1-3, ``References to the CFR,'' to refer to the
2011 edition.
We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective September 17,
2012 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by August 16, 2012. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. If we do not receive any comments, this
action will be effective September 17, 2012.
IV. 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 Clean Air 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).
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 September 17, 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
[[Page 41916]]
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the Proposed Rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule and address the
comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)
