7. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
8. Taking of Private Property
This rule will not cause a taking of
private property or otherwise have
taking implications under Executive
Order 12630, Governmental Actions and
Interference with Constitutionally
Protected Property Rights.
9. Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
10. Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
11. Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it does not have a substantial
direct effect on one or more Indian
tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes.

13. Technical Standards
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.

I. This Action
EPA determined that rule 62–296.413,
Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.)
entitled ‘‘Synthetic Organic Fiber
Production’’ was inadvertently
incorporated into the Florida SIP on
June 16, 1999 (64 FR 32346). Therefore,
EPA is taking final action to remove rule

Jkt 232001
62–296.413, F.A.C. from the federallyapproved Florida SIP pursuant to
section 110(k)(6) 1 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act) and to codify this deletion
by revising the appropriate paragraph
under 40 CFR part 52, subpart K, section
52.520(c). EPA proposed approval of
this correction on June 13, 2013. See 78
FR 35599. Comments on the proposed
rulemaking were due on or before July
15, 2013. No comments, adverse or
otherwise, were received on EPA’s June
13, 2013, proposed rulemaking. A
summary of the background for today’s
final action is provided below. For
additional information concerning the
rationale for today’s final action refer to
EPA’s June 13, 2013, proposed
rulemaking. See 78 FR 35599.
II. Background
On December 21, 1994, and April 15,
1996, the State of Florida through the
Florida Department of Environmental
Protection provided to EPA SIP
submissions which included
miscellaneous revisions and the
recodification of F.A.C. Rule 62–
296.413, F.A.C.,2 was part of Florida’s
recodification and was included in
these State submittals among other
changes; however, it was never officially
submitted for incorporation into the
SIP.3 When EPA took action on June 16,
1999 (64 FR 32346) to approve the
recodification and miscellaneous
changes and also to revise the format of
40 CFR part 52 for materials submitted
by Florida that are incorporated by
reference into the SIP, EPA
inadvertently incorporated rule 62–
296.413, F.A.C., into the regulatory text
at 40 CFR part 52, subpart K, section
52.520. EPA has determined that
approval of rule 62–296.413, F.A.C.,
1 Section 110(k)(6) of the Act provides that,
whenever the Administrator determines that the
Administrator’s action approving, disapproving, or
promulgating any plan or plan revision was in
error, the Administrator may in the same manner
as the approval, disapproval or promulgation revise
such action as appropriate without requiring further
submission from the State. Such determination and
the basis thereof must be provided to the state and
public.
2 This state rule was originally numbered
subsection 17–2.600(13), and was adopted with a
state effective date of July 9, 1989, for the sole
purpose of controlling acrylonitrile emissions from
synthetic organic fiber production facilities in
northwest Florida. The rule was only concerned
with emissions of toxic air pollutants and not
attainment or maintenance of any NAAQS. The rule
was in an April 15, 1996, SIP submission along
with all other rules that had been simultaneously
amended. However, it was not submitted for EPA’s
approval and incorporation into the SIP.
3 EPA’s records indicate that a November 23,
1992, SIP revision from Florida was approved on
October 20, 1994 (59 FR 52916). However, the
November 23, 1992, SIP did not include a revision
to incorporate the rule entitled ‘‘Synthetic Organic
Fiber Production,’’ 62–296.413, F.A.C., into the SIP.
PO 00000
Frm 00018
Fmt 4700

into the Florida SIP was an error, and
is, therefore, taking final action to
remove this rule from the federallyapproved Florida SIP (pursuant to
section 110(k)(6) of the CAA) because
the rule is not related to the attainment
and maintenance of the NAAQS.
III. Final Action
For the reasons stated above, EPA is
taking final action to remove rule 62–
296.413, F.A.C., from the federallyapproved Florida SIP pursuant to
section 110(k)(6) of the CAA and to
codify this deletion by revising the
appropriate paragraph under 40 CFR
part 52, subpart K, section 52.520(c).
IV. 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,
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
E:\FR\FM\18NOR1.SGM
18NOR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 222 / Monday, November 18, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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.
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).

Suspension of Community Eligibility

Management Agency, DHS.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This rule identifies
communities where the sale of flood
insurance has been authorized under
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) that are scheduled for
suspension on the effective dates listed
within this rule because of
noncompliance with the floodplain
management requirements of the
program. If the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) receives
documentation that the community has
adopted the required floodplain
management measures prior to the
effective suspension date given in this
rule, the suspension will not occur and
a notice of this will be provided by
publication in the Federal Register on a
subsequent date. Also, information
identifying the current participation
status of a community can be obtained
from FEMA’s Community Status Book
(CSB). The CSB is available at https://
www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm.
DATES: The effective date of each
community’s scheduled suspension is
the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) listed in the
third column of the following tables.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If
you want to determine whether a
particular community was suspended
on the suspension date or for further
information, contact David Stearrett,
Federal Insurance and Mitigation
Administration, Federal Emergency
Management Agency, 500 C Street SW.,
Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP
enables property owners to purchase
Federal flood insurance that is not
otherwise generally available from
private insurers. In return, communities
agree to adopt and administer local
floodplain management measures aimed
at protecting lives and new construction
from future flooding. Section 1315 of
SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
68999
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022,
prohibits the sale of NFIP flood
insurance unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed in this document no
longer meet that statutory requirement
for compliance with program
regulations, 44 CFR Part 59.
Accordingly, the communities will be
suspended on the effective date in the
third column. As of that date, flood
insurance will no longer be available in
the community. We recognize that some
of these communities may adopt and
submit the required documentation of
legally enforceable floodplain
management measures after this rule is
published but prior to the actual
suspension date. These communities
will not be suspended and will continue
to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood
insurance. A notice withdrawing the
suspension of such communities will be
published in the Federal Register.
In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood
Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that
identifies the Special Flood Hazard
Areas (SFHAs) in these communities.
The date of the FIRM, if one has been
published, is indicated in the fourth
column of the table. No direct Federal
financial assistance (except assistance
pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act not in connection with a
flood) may be provided for construction
or acquisition of buildings in identified
SFHAs for communities not
participating in the NFIP and identified
for more than a year on FEMA’s initial
FIRM for the community as having
flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the
Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This
prohibition against certain types of
Federal assistance becomes effective for
the communities listed on the date
shown in the last column. The
Administrator finds that notice and
public comment procedures under 5
U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and
unnecessary because communities listed
in this final rule have been adequately
notified.
Each community receives 6-month,
90-day, and 30-day notification letters
addressed to the Chief Executive Officer
stating that the community will be
suspended unless the required
floodplain management measures are
met prior to the effective suspension
date. Since these notifications were
made, this final rule may take effect
within less than 30 days.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Background
On December 21, 1994, and April 15, 1996, the State of Florida
through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection provided to
EPA SIP submissions which included miscellaneous revisions and the
recodification of F.A.C. Rule 62-296.413, F.A.C.,\2\ was part of
Florida's recodification and was included in these State submittals
among other changes; however, it was never officially submitted for
incorporation into the SIP.\3\ When EPA took action on June 16, 1999
(64 FR 32346) to approve the recodification and miscellaneous changes
and also to revise the format of 40 CFR part 52 for materials submitted
by Florida that are incorporated by reference into the SIP, EPA
inadvertently incorporated rule 62-296.413, F.A.C., into the regulatory
text at 40 CFR part 52, subpart K, section 52.520. EPA has determined
that approval of rule 62-296.413, F.A.C., into the Florida SIP was an
error, and is, therefore, taking final action to remove this rule from
the federally-approved Florida SIP (pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of
the CAA) because the rule is not related to the attainment and
maintenance of the NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ This state rule was originally numbered subsection 17-
2.600(13), and was adopted with a state effective date of July 9,
1989, for the sole purpose of controlling acrylonitrile emissions
from synthetic organic fiber production facilities in northwest
Florida. The rule was only concerned with emissions of toxic air
pollutants and not attainment or maintenance of any NAAQS. The rule
was in an April 15, 1996, SIP submission along with all other rules
that had been simultaneously amended. However, it was not submitted
for EPA's approval and incorporation into the SIP.
\3\ EPA's records indicate that a November 23, 1992, SIP
revision from Florida was approved on October 20, 1994 (59 FR
52916). However, the November 23, 1992, SIP did not include a
revision to incorporate the rule entitled ``Synthetic Organic Fiber
Production,'' 62-296.413, F.A.C., into the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Final Action
For the reasons stated above, EPA is taking final action to remove
rule 62-296.413, F.A.C., from the federally-approved Florida SIP
pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of the CAA and to codify this deletion by
revising the appropriate paragraph under 40 CFR part 52, subpart K,
section 52.520(c).
IV. 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, 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
[[Page 68999]]
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.
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).
