IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
This action makes a determination
based on air quality data. 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).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:48 Apr 14, 2014
Jkt 232001
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because it merely
makes a determination based on air
quality data.
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. 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by June 16, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule 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).)

I. Background
The background for today’s action is
discussed in detail in our January 28,
2014 proposal (79 FR 4436). In that
notice, we proposed to approve a
portion of a Louisiana SIP submittal that
the state submitted on May 16, 2011,
and the technical supplement submitted
on May 21, 2013, that determined the
existing SIP for Louisiana contains
adequate provisions to prohibit air
emissions from contributing
significantly to nonattainment or
interfering with maintenance of the
2006 PM2.5 NAAQS in any other state as
required by CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). We did not receive any
comments regarding our proposal.

II. Final Action
We are approving a portion of a SIP
submittal for the State of Louisiana
submitted on May 16, 2011, and the
technical supplement submitted on May
21, 2013, to address interstate transport
for the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. Based on
our evaluation, we approve the portion
of the SIP submittal and technical
supplement determining the existing
SIP for Louisiana contains adequate
provisions to prohibit air emissions
from contributing significantly to
nonattainment or interfering with
maintenance of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS
in any other state as required by CAA
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). This action is
being taken under section 110 of the
CAA.
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
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,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
14:48 Apr 14, 2014
Jkt 232001
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 (Public Law 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.
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

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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by June 16, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposed 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

be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section

Sfmt 4700
1. The June 13, 2007 Submittal
The June 13, 2007 submittal concerns
revisions to 30 TAC, Chapter 115
Control of Air Pollution from Volatile
Organic Compounds. In addition, the
June 13, 2007 submittal included an
analysis intended to demonstrate RACT
was being implemented in the HGB
Area as required by the CAA (Appendix
D of the submittal). We approved
selected revisions as meeting RACT
under the 8-hour ozone NAAQS for
some, but not all of the submitted
industry source categories in the HGB
Area, on April 2, 2013 at 78 FR 19599.
In our January 9, 2014 (79 FR 1612)
proposal, we addressed additional
source categories covered in this SIP
submittal.
2. The April 6, 2010 Submittal
In conjunction with the June 13, 2007
submittal, we are also finalizing our
proposal to approve a part of the April
6, 2010 revision to the Texas SIP for
VOC RACT purposes. Specifically, we
find that Texas has met certain RACT
requirements under section 182(b). For
more information on RACT evaluation
for the HGB Area see section B of the
January 9, 2014 (79 FR 1612) proposal.
B. When did the public comment period
expire?
The public comment period for the
January 9, 2014 (79 FR 1612) proposal
expired on February 10, 2014.
II. Evaluation
A. What are the public comments and
EPA’s response to them?
Comment: An individual commented
that pollution has to stop at the source,
there should be zero waste, and the
polluter has to pay.
Response: EPA is not aware of a
reasonably available and technologically
feasible method to achieve zero waste
for the source categories identified in
Table 1 of the January 9, 2014 (79 FR
1612) proposal. The commenter did not
provide any information to this effect,
and no contact information was made
available by the commenter in order for

has determined that the existing SIP for Louisiana contains adequate
provisions to prohibit air pollutant emissions from significantly
contributing to nonattainment or interfering with maintenance of the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS (2006 PM2.5 NAAQS) in

II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
The background for today's action is discussed in detail in our
January 28, 2014 proposal (79 FR 4436). In that notice, we proposed to
approve a portion of a Louisiana SIP submittal that the state submitted
on May 16, 2011, and the technical supplement submitted on May 21,
2013, that determined the existing SIP for Louisiana contains adequate
provisions to prohibit air emissions from contributing significantly to
nonattainment or interfering with maintenance of the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS in any other state as required by CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). We did not receive any comments regarding our
proposal.
II. Final Action
We are approving a portion of a SIP submittal for the State of
Louisiana submitted on May 16, 2011, and the technical supplement
submitted on May 21, 2013, to address interstate transport for the 2006
PM2.5 NAAQS. Based on our evaluation, we approve the portion
of the SIP submittal and technical supplement determining the existing
SIP for Louisiana contains adequate provisions to prohibit air
emissions from contributing significantly to nonattainment or
interfering with maintenance of the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS in any
other state as required by CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). This action
is being taken under section 110 of the CAA.
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 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 (Public Law 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.
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 16, 2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposed 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).)
