ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The EPA is approving a request submitted by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) dated November 28, 2012, to establish motor vehicle emission budgets for the Tacoma-Pierce County fine particulate matter (PM2.5) nonattainment area to meet transportation conformity requirements. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), new transportation plans, programs, and projects, such as the construction of new highways, must ‘‘conform’’ to (i.e., be consistent with) the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The CAA requires federal actions in nonattainment and maintenance areas to ‘‘conform to’’ the goals of the SIP. This means that such actions will not cause or contribute to violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), worsen the severity of an existing violation, or delay timely attainment of any NAAQS or any interim milestone. Under the Transportation Conformity Rule, the EPA can approve motor vehicle emission budgets based on the most recent year of clean data if the EPA approves the request in the rulemaking that determines that the area has attained the NAAQS for which the area is designated nonattainment. In September 2012, the EPA finalized an attainment finding for the TacomaPierce County PM2.5 nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as ‘‘Tacoma-Pierce County Area’’ or ‘‘the area’’). This finding, also called a clean data determination, was based upon qualityassured, quality-controlled, and certified ambient air monitoring data showing that the area had monitored attainment of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 2009–2011 data available in the EPA’s Air Quality System. This action updates the previous finding of attainment with more recent 2010–2012 data and approves motor vehicle emission budgets under the Transportation Conformity Rule. sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:29 Sep 18, 2013 Jkt 229001 This final rule is effective on October 21, 2013.

Background II. Final Action III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background On November 28, 2012, Ecology submitted a request for the EPA to approve motor vehicle emission budgets for the Tacoma-Pierce County area to meet transportation conformity requirements. As described in 40 CFR 93.109(c)(5) of the Transportation Conformity Rule, the EPA can approve motor vehicle emission budgets if the EPA approves the request in a rulemaking that determines that the area has attained the NAAQS for which the area is designated nonattainment. An explanation of the CAA requirements and implementing regulations that are met by this action, a detailed explanation of the revision, and the EPA’s reasons for approving it were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking on July 18, 2013, and will not be restated here. See 78 FR 42905. The public comment period for this proposed rule ended on August 19, PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 57503 2013. The EPA did not receive any comments on the proposal. II. Final Action The EPA has determined, based on the most recent three years of complete, quality-assured data meeting the requirements of 40 CFR part 50, appendix N, that the Tacoma-Pierce County area is currently attaining the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. As explained in the proposal for this action, the EPA has determined that the following attainment-related planning requirements are not applicable for so long as the area continues to attain the PM2.5 standard: The part D, subpart 4 obligations to provide an attainment demonstration pursuant to CAA section 189(a)(1)(B), the reasonably available control measures (RACM) provisions of CAA section 189(a)(1)(C), the reasonable further progress (RFP) provisions of CAA section 189(c), and related attainment demonstration, RACM, RFP and contingency measure provisions requirements of subpart 1 of CAA section 172. This action does not constitute a redesignation to attainment under CAA section 107(d)(3). In conjunction with this finding of attainment, the EPA is approving the motor vehicle emission budgets shown below in Table 1 below. The EPA is approving the motor vehicle emission budgets pursuant to 40 CFR 93.109(c)(5)(iii), as described in the Transportation Conformity Rule and the preamble of the Transportation Conformity Restructuring Amendments (77 FR 14982, March 14, 2012). TABLE 1—2011 MOTOR VEHICLE EMISSION BUDGETS FOR THE TACOMA-PIERCE COUNTY 2006 FINE PARTICULATE MATTER NONATTAINMENT AREA Pollutant PM2.5 ..................................... NOX ...................................... Emissions (pounds per winter day) 3,002 71,598 III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the 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, the 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 E:\FR\FM\19SER1.SGM 19SER1 57504 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 182 / Thursday, September 19, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 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 the 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 it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. The SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, except for non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided state and local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey Area and the EPA is therefore approving this SIP on such lands. Consistent with EPA policy, the EPA nonetheless provided a consultation opportunity to the Puyallup Tribe in a letter dated December 11, 2012. The EPA did not receive a request for consultation. 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 November 18, 2013. 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)).

Revision to the Washington State Implementation Plan; Approval of
Motor Vehicle Emission Budgets and Determination of Attainment for the
2006 24-Hour Fine Particulate Standard; Tacoma-Pierce County
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving a request submitted by the Washington
Department of Ecology (Ecology) dated November 28, 2012, to establish
motor vehicle emission budgets for the Tacoma-Pierce County fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) nonattainment area to meet
transportation conformity requirements. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA),
new transportation plans, programs, and projects, such as the
construction of new highways, must ``conform'' to (i.e., be consistent
with) the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The CAA requires federal
actions in nonattainment and maintenance areas to ``conform to'' the
goals of the SIP. This means that such actions will not cause or
contribute to violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS), worsen the severity of an existing violation, or delay timely
attainment of any NAAQS or any interim milestone.
Under the Transportation Conformity Rule, the EPA can approve motor
vehicle emission budgets based on the most recent year of clean data if
the EPA approves the request in the rulemaking that determines that the
area has attained the NAAQS for which the area is designated
nonattainment. In September 2012, the EPA finalized an attainment
finding for the Tacoma-Pierce County PM2.5 nonattainment
area (hereafter referred to as ``Tacoma-Pierce County Area'' or ``the
area''). This finding, also called a clean data determination, was
based upon quality-assured, quality-controlled, and certified ambient
air monitoring data showing that the area had monitored attainment of
the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 2009-2011 data available
in the EPA's Air Quality System. This action updates the previous
finding of attainment with more recent 2010-2012 data and approves
motor vehicle emission budgets under the Transportation Conformity
Rule.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 21, 2013.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket Identification No. EPA-R10-OAR-2012-0760. All documents in the
docket are listed on the https://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

On November 28, 2012, Ecology submitted a request for the EPA to
approve motor vehicle emission budgets for the Tacoma-Pierce County
area to meet transportation conformity requirements. As described in 40
CFR 93.109(c)(5) of the Transportation Conformity Rule, the EPA can
approve motor vehicle emission budgets if the EPA approves the request
in a rulemaking that determines that the area has attained the NAAQS
for which the area is designated nonattainment. An explanation of the
CAA requirements and implementing regulations that are met by this
action, a detailed explanation of the revision, and the EPA's reasons
for approving it were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking on
July 18, 2013, and will not be restated here. See 78 FR 42905. The
public comment period for this proposed rule ended on August 19, 2013.
The EPA did not receive any comments on the proposal.

II. Final Action

The EPA has determined, based on the most recent three years of
complete, quality-assured data meeting the requirements of 40 CFR part
50, appendix N, that the Tacoma-Pierce County area is currently
attaining the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. As explained in the
proposal for this action, the EPA has determined that the following
attainment-related planning requirements are not applicable for so long
as the area continues to attain the PM2.5 standard: The part
D, subpart 4 obligations to provide an attainment demonstration
pursuant to CAA section 189(a)(1)(B), the reasonably available control
measures (RACM) provisions of CAA section 189(a)(1)(C), the reasonable
further progress (RFP) provisions of CAA section 189(c), and related
attainment demonstration, RACM, RFP and contingency measure provisions
requirements of subpart 1 of CAA section 172. This action does not
constitute a redesignation to attainment under CAA section 107(d)(3).
In conjunction with this finding of attainment, the EPA is approving
the motor vehicle emission budgets shown below in Table 1 below. The
EPA is approving the motor vehicle emission budgets pursuant to 40 CFR
93.109(c)(5)(iii), as described in the Transportation Conformity Rule
and the preamble of the Transportation Conformity Restructuring
Amendments (77 FR 14982, March 14, 2012).

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under the 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, the 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

[[Page 57504]]

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 the 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 it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. The SIP is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the State, except for non-trust land within
the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known
as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement
Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided state and
local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust
lands within the 1873 Survey Area and the EPA is therefore approving
this SIP on such lands. Consistent with EPA policy, the EPA nonetheless
provided a consultation opportunity to the Puyallup Tribe in a letter
dated December 11, 2012. The EPA did not receive a request for
consultation.
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 November 18, 2013. 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)).
