SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY: EPA is updating the materials
submitted by Idaho that are
incorporated by reference (IBR) into the
Idaho State Implementation Plan (SIP).
The regulations affected by this update
have been previously submitted by the
Idaho Department of Environmental
Quality (IDEQ) and approved by EPA.
This update affects the SIP materials
that are available for public inspection
at the National Archives and Records
Administration (NARA), the Air and
Radiation Docket and Information
Center located at EPA Headquarters in
Washington, DC, and the EPA Regional
Office.
DATES: Effective Date: This action is
effective December 28, 2012.
ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are
incorporated by reference into 40 CFR
part 52 are available for inspection at
the following locations: EPA Region 10,
Office of Air, Waste, and Toxics (AWT–
107), 1200 Sixth Avenue, Suite 900,
Seattle, Washington 98101; the Air and
I. Background
The SIP is a living document which
the State revises as necessary to address
its unique air pollution problems.
Therefore, EPA from time to time must
take action on SIP revisions containing
new and/or revised regulations as being
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 the Federal Register (OFR). 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 January 25, 2005, EPA published a
document in the Federal Register
beginning the new IBR procedure for
Idaho. 70 FR 9450. Since the
publication of the January 25, 2005,
Federal Register document, EPA has
approved regulatory changes to the

(July 17, 2012).
II. EPA Action
In this action, EPA is doing the
following:
A. In paragraph 52.670(b),
announcing the update to the IBR
material as of August 16, 2012.
B. In paragraph 52.670(c):
1. Removing the section heading
‘‘EPA–APPROVED IDAHO
REGULATIONS’’ and adding in its place
‘‘EPA–APPROVED IDAHO
REGULATIONS AND STATUTES’’;
2. Correcting the entry for IDAPA
58.01.01.470 by removing ‘‘Permit
Application Fees for Tier II Permits’’
and replacing it with ‘‘Reserved’’
consistent with our proposed action on
March 18, 2010 (75 FR 13058) and our
final action on November 26, 2010 (75
FR 72719); and
3. Removing the entries for IDAPA
58.01.01.726 through 729, consistent
with our proposed action on March 18,
2010 (75 FR 13058) and our final action
on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72719).
C. In paragraph 52.683, revising the
language to reflect the approvals made
on July 17, 2012 (77 FR 41916), that
were erroneously not reflected in
paragraph 52.683.
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)

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 249 / Friday, December 28, 2012 / Rules and Regulations
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
removing outdated citations and
incorrect table entries.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the CAA 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);
VerDate Mar<15>2010
18:32 Dec 27, 2012
Jkt 229001
• 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.
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 rule 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. This rule is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
EPA has also determined that the
provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the
CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial
review are not applicable to this action.
Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each
individual component of the Idaho SIP
compilations had 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. Thus, EPA sees
no need in this action to reopen the 60day period for filing such petitions for
judicial review for this ‘‘Identification of
plan’’ update action for Idaho.

I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?
You may be affected by this
withdrawal if you are a manufacturer
(including importer) of cadmium or
cadmium compounds, including as part
of an article, that have been, or are
reasonably likely to be, incorporated
into consumer products.
B. What action is the agency taking?
In the Federal Register issue of
December 3, 2012 (77 FR 71561) (FRL–
9355–9), EPA issued a health and safety
data reporting rule that would have
required manufacturers (including
importers) of cadmium or cadmium
compounds, including as part of an
article, that have been, or are reasonably
likely to be, incorporated into consumer
products to report certain unpublished
health and safety studies to EPA. EPA
has good cause to withdraw the final
rule.
In this document, EPA is withdrawing
the final health and safety data reporting
rule that it issued pursuant to TSCA
section 8(d) on December 3, 2012. Since
the final rule’s issuance, EPA has
received a number of letters, including
requests for withdrawal under
§ 716.105(c)–(d), asking questions and
raising concerns about the scope and
extent of the immediate final rule that
indicate that there is significant
confusion and uncertainty about the
final rule in certain industrial sectors
subject to the final rule. For example,
EPA received comments that the
regulatory text did not clearly specify
which additional industrial sectors
beyond those subject to reporting in
§ 716.5(a) must report unpublished
health and safety studies, as required by
§ 716.5(b). EPA believes that some of the
points raised in the letters warrant
additional consideration by the Agency.
Comments received by EPA are
available in the docket under docket ID
number EPA–HQ–OPPT–2011–0363.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The SIP is a living document which the State revises as necessary
to address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA from time
to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised
regulations as being 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 the Federal Register (OFR). 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 January 25, 2005, EPA published a document in the Federal
Register beginning the new IBR procedure for Idaho. 70 FR 9450. Since
the publication of the January 25, 2005, Federal Register document, EPA
has approved regulatory changes to the Idaho Administrative Procedures
Act (IDAPA) 58.01.01. These approved changes are identified in the
following Federal Register notices: 70 FR 58311(October 6, 2005), 71 FR
39574 (July 13, 2006), 73 FR 44915 (August 1, 2008), 75 FR 72705
(November 26, 2010), 75 FR 72719 (November 26, 2010), 76 FR 33651 (June
9, 2011), 76 FR 36329 (June 22, 2011), and 77 FR 41916 (July 17, 2012).
II. EPA Action
In this action, EPA is doing the following:
A. In paragraph 52.670(b), announcing the update to the IBR
material as of August 16, 2012.
B. In paragraph 52.670(c):
1. Removing the section heading ``EPA-APPROVED IDAHO REGULATIONS''
and adding in its place ``EPA-APPROVED IDAHO REGULATIONS AND
STATUTES'';
2. Correcting the entry for IDAPA 58.01.01.470 by removing ``Permit
Application Fees for Tier II Permits'' and replacing it with
``Reserved'' consistent with our proposed action on March 18, 2010 (75
FR 13058) and our final action on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72719); and
3. Removing the entries for IDAPA 58.01.01.726 through 729,
consistent with our proposed action on March 18, 2010 (75 FR 13058) and
our final action on November 26, 2010 (75 FR 72719).
C. In paragraph 52.683, revising the language to reflect the
approvals made on July 17, 2012 (77 FR 41916), that were erroneously
not reflected in paragraph 52.683.
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)
[[Page 76418]]
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 removing outdated citations and incorrect table
entries.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA
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 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.
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 rule 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. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of
the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable
to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual
component of the Idaho SIP compilations had 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. Thus, EPA sees no
need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such
petitions for judicial review for this ``Identification of plan''
update action for Idaho.
