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.

I. Why is the EPA using a direct final
rule?
The EPA is publishing this direct final
rule without a prior proposed rule
because we view this as a
noncontroversial action and anticipate
no adverse comment. This action makes
technical amendments to address
several minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in the regulatory
text that established the air quality
designations for certain areas for several
NAAQS. However, in the ‘‘Proposed
Rules’’ section of this Federal Register,
we are publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposed rule to
make the technical amendments if
adverse comments are received on this
direct final rule. We will not institute a
second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further
information about commenting on this
rule, see the ADDRESSES section and
section II of this document.
If the EPA receives adverse comment,
we will publish a timely withdrawal in
the Federal Register informing the
public that this direct final rule will not
take effect. We would address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. If we
receive adverse comment on a distinct
provision of this rulemaking, we will
publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register indicating which
provisions we are withdrawing. The
provisions that are not withdrawn will
become effective on the date set out
above, notwithstanding adverse
comment on any other provision.
II. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
A. Submitting CBI
Do not submit this information to the
EPA through www.regulations.gov or
email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI.
For CBI information in a disk or CD–
ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the
outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI
and then identify electronically within
the disk or CD–ROM the specific
information that is claimed as CBI. In
addition to one complete version of the
comment that includes information
claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment
that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for
inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be
disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
Send or deliver information identified
as CBI only to the following address:

to inadvertent errors in prior
designations?
B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments
A. Technical Amendments Concerning
Designations for the 1997 PM2.5 Annual
NAAQS
In an action signed on December 17,
2004, the EPA promulgated air quality
designations for the 1997 annual PM2.5
NAAQS (70 FR 944; January 5, 2005).
The EPA designated Chattanooga as a
multi-state nonattainment area that
includes parts of Tennessee, Georgia
and Alabama. As the naming
convention for identifying multi-state
nonattainment areas, the EPA uses the
initials for all states that are partially or
wholly included in the area. For the
Chattanooga nonattainment area, the
EPA inadvertently omitted the state
initials for Alabama and identified the
area as Chattanooga, TN-GA in the 40
CFR part 81 tables designation tables.
Therefore, it is not evident when
looking at the area name in the 40 CFR
part 81 tables for Tennessee and Georgia
that the area includes a portion of
Alabama. The EPA is correcting the area
name to be Chattanooga, TN-GA-AL.
When submitting comments,
remember to:
• Identify the rulemaking by docket
number and other identifying
information (subject heading, Federal
Register date and page number).
• Follow directions—The agency may
ask you to respond to specific questions
or organize comments by referencing a
Code of Federal Register (CFR) part or
section number.
• Explain why you agree or disagree;
suggest alternatives and substitute
language for your requested changes.
• Describe any assumptions and
provide any technical information and/
or data that you used.
• Provide specific examples to
illustrate your concerns and suggest
alternatives.
• Explain your views as clearly as
possible.
• Make sure to submit your
comments by the comment period
deadline identified.

III. What is the purpose of this action?
Whenever the EPA establishes a new
NAAQS, section 107(d) of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) requires the EPA to designate
all areas of the country as meeting or not
meeting the new NAAQS, or as
unclassifiable where available
information does not support a
determination whether an area is
meeting the NAAQS. The area
designations and boundaries for each
NAAQS are set forth in tables in the
CFR at 40 CFR part 81.
This action makes technical
amendments to minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in the 40 CFR part
81 regulatory text concerning the air
quality designations for certain areas in
fourteen states for the 1997 PM2.5
NAAQS, the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, the
2008 Lead NAAQS, the 2010 NO2
NAAQS and the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
These states are: Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina,
Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington
and Wisconsin. The affected areas and
the inadvertent errors to be corrected are
discussed in section IV and the
revisions to the regulatory text are
provided at the end of this preamble.
This action does not change the
designation for any area.

B. Technical Amendments Concerning
Designations for the 2008 Ozone
NAAQS
In an action signed on April 30, 2012,
the EPA promulgated air quality
designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS
(77 FR 30088; May 21, 2012). By letter
dated January 28, 2014, the North
Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources notified the EPA
that there were errors in the 40 CFR part
81 designation table for North Carolina.
Specifically, North Carolina pointed out
that Concord Township in Cabarrus
County and Gold Hill Township in
Rowan County were not listed as part of
the Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC
nonattainment area.
In March 2009, and again in October
2011, North Carolina recommended that
the counties of Cabarrus, Gaston,
Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union,
in their entirety and a portion of Iredell
County be designated as
‘‘nonattainment.’’ After evaluating
North Carolina’s recommendation, in
December 2011, the EPA notified North
Carolina that it intended to designate
those areas as part of the Charlotte-Rock
Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area. On
February 29, 2012, North Carolina
submitted an updated recommendation
requesting that for Cabarrus, Gaston,
Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties,
the EPA only include certain townships
in the nonattainment area. North
Carolina provided a multi-factor
technical analysis for each county to
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
support the partial county boundaries
and provided maps identifying the
townships the state recommended as
nonattainment. The EPA evaluated the
new technical information and
concluded it was appropriate to include
the partial counties, as recommended by
North Carolina, as part of the designated
nonattainment area. The technical
analyses for Cabarrus and Rowan
Counties and the nonattainment area
maps are clear that Concord Township
in Cabarrus County and Gold Hill
Township in Rowan County were
intended to be included as part of the
nonattainment area. However, the two
counties were not listed in Table 1 of
their recommendation. In preparing the
40 CFR part 81 designation table, the
EPA relied on Table 1 for its list of
counties included as part of the
nonattainment area, and thus
inadvertently did not include Concord
and Gold Hill Townships. Therefore, the
EPA is correcting the errors by listing
Concord Township in Cabarrus County
and Gold Hill Township in Rowan
County as part of that Charlotte-Rock
Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area,
consistent with the state’s
recommendation and the analysis in the
record.
In an action signed on May 31, 2012,
the EPA promulgated the air quality
designation for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS
for several counties in Illinois, Indiana
and Wisconsin (77 FR 34221; June 11,
2012). The EPA designated all or parts
of 11 counties as the ChicagoNaperville, IL-IN-WI nonattainment
area, including part of Kenosha County,
WI. In the 40 CFR part 81 table for
Wisconsin, the EPA described the
included part of Kenosha County in
terms of townships, based on historical
maps that the EPA has since learned are
no longer in general use. Therefore, the
EPA is replacing the description of the
boundary for the included part of the
county with an alternative description
that is easily recognizable and well
defined in existing maps and documents
in current use. The alternative partial
county description is ‘‘The portion of
Kenosha County bounded by the Lake
Michigan shoreline on the East, the
Kenosha County boundary on the North,
the Kenosha County boundary on the
South and the I–94 corridor (including
the entire corridor) on the West.’’
C. Technical Amendments Concerning
Designations for the 2008 Lead NAAQS
The EPA completed the designations
for the 2008 Lead NAAQS in two final
rules. The EPA promulgated the first
rule designating certain areas for the
2008 Lead NAAQS in an action signed
on November 16, 2010 (75 FR 71033;
E:\FR\FM\05MYR1.SGM
05MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
November 22, 2010) and the second rule
designating all remaining areas on
November 8, 2011 (76 FR 72097;
November 22, 2011).
The EPA is correcting inadvertent
errors in the entries for two areas in the
40 CFR part 81 tables for the lead
designations. In the second rule, the
EPA inadvertently omitted the word
‘‘County’’ in the name of the lead
nonattainment area in Iowa and
identified it as ‘‘Pottawattamie, IA’’
rather than ‘‘Pottawattamie County, IA.’’
The EPA is adding ‘‘County’’ to the area
name. The area is correctly identified as
‘‘Pottawattamie County, IA’’ in the
Technical Support Document (TSD) for
the area, which is available in the
docket (EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0443–
0491).
In the second rule designating areas
for the 2008 Lead NAAQS, the EPA also
reformatted the existing lead
designation tables in 40 CFR part 81.
For the ‘‘Iron, Dent, and Reynolds
Counties, MO’’ nonattainment area,
which was designated in the first rule,
a typographical error occurred when the
tables were reformatted, which resulted
in the designation effective date for the
included portion of Dent County being
listed in the 40 CFR part 81 table as
2/31/10 rather than 12/31/10. The
effective date was correct in the original
table included in the first rule. The EPA
is correcting the typographical error.
The effective date for the other portions
of the nonattainment area is correctly
identified as 12/31/10, consistent with
the effective date for all other areas
designated in the first designation rule.
D. Technical Amendments Concerning
Designations for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS
In an action signed on January 20,
2012, the EPA promulgated air quality
designations for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS
(77 FR 9532; February 17, 2012). The
EPA designated all areas as
unclassifiable/attainment. In letters sent
in June 2011, from the EPA Regional
Administrators to the states, the EPA
indicated it intended to designate all
areas of the country as unclassifiable/
attainment using the boundaries each
state had recommended to the EPA or
using revised boundaries each state
might provide in response to the letter.
The EPA recommended that the states
consider the implications for the
prevention of significant deterioration
permitting program if the entire state
were designated as a single area rather
than as several smaller areas.
For the states of Indiana, Minnesota
and Washington, the EPA inadvertently
designated areas according to the state’s
original recommendations rather than
the revised boundary recommendations
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:36 May 02, 2014
Jkt 232001
submitted by these states. For Idaho and
Oregon, the EPA designated areas
according to the EPA’s interpretation of
each state’s original recommendation.
Subsequently, the states informed the
EPA that the agency had interpreted
their recommendations incorrectly. The
EPA is correcting the listings of the
unclassifiable/attainment areas for each
of these five states in accordance with
their recommendations as discussed
below.
For Indiana, the EPA designated four
counties separately and designated the
remaining counties in the states
collectively as ‘‘Rest of State.’’ By letter
dated July 29, 2011, from Thomas W.
Easterly, Commissioner of the State of
Indiana, to Susan Hedman, EPA
Regional Administrator, Indiana
responded to the EPA’s June 2011 letter
concerning designations for the NO2
NAAQS. Indiana said it ‘‘wishes to
make it clear that each county within
the state should be classified under the
standard separately.’’ The EPA is
correcting the listing of the of
unclassifiable/attainment areas in
Indiana to list those remaining counties
as separate areas.
For Minnesota, the EPA designated all
areas in the state unclassifiable/
attainment collectively as ‘‘State of
Minnesota.’’ By letter dated August 9,
2011, from Paul W. Assen,
Commissioner of Minnesota, to Susan
Hedman, EPA Regional Administrator,
Minnesota provided revised
recommendations in response to the
EPA’s June 2011 letter concerning
designations for the NO2 NAAQS.
Minnesota recommended that the EPA
‘‘make a designation for each county
within Minnesota.’’ The EPA is
correcting the listing of the
unclassifiable/attainment areas in
Minnesota to list each county as a
separate area.
For Washington, the EPA designated
all areas in the state unclassifiable/
attainment collectively as ‘‘State of
Washington.’’ By letter dated August 19,
2011, from Ted Sturdevant, Director of
the State of Washington Department of
Ecology, to Dennis J. McLerran, EPA
Regional Administrator, Washington
clarified the state’s recommendations in
response to the EPA’s June 2011 letter
concerning designations for the NO2
NAAQS. Washington recommended that
all six of the state’s Air Quality Control
Regions (AQCRs) be designated
unclassifiable/attainment. The EPA is
correcting the listing of the
unclassifiable/attainment areas in
Washington to list the areas by AQCRs.
For Idaho, the EPA designated the
unclassifiable/attainment areas by
AQCRs, according to the EPA’s
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
25511
interpretation of the state’s December
17, 2010, recommendation from Toni
Hardesty, Director of the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality to
Dennis J. McLerran, EPA Regional
Administrator. Subsequently, in
conversation with the EPA, Idaho
clarified that the state had wanted a
statewide area designation for the NO2
NAAQS rather than listing each AQCR
as a separate area. The EPA is correcting
the listings of the unclassifiable/
attainment areas for Idaho to specify one
statewide unclassifiable/attainment area
in accordance with the state’s original
recommendation, as clarified.
For Oregon, the EPA designated each
county separately as an unclassifiable/
attainment area according to the EPA’s
interpretation of the state’s January 21,
2011, recommendation from Governor
John Kitzhaber, MD to Dennis J.
McLerran, EPA Regional Administrator.
Subsequently, in conversation with the
EPA, Oregon clarified that the state had
wanted all areas in the state to be
designated collectively as one statewide
area for the NO2 NAAQS rather than by
separate counties. The EPA is correcting
the listings of the unclassifiable/
attainment areas for Oregon to specify
one statewide unclassifiable/attainment
area in accordance with the state’s
original recommendation, as clarified.
E. Technical Amendments Concerning
Designations for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
In an action signed on July 25, 2013,
the EPA promulgated the initial
designations for certain areas for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS (78 FR 47191; August
5, 2013). The EPA is correcting
inadvertent errors in descriptions for
two of the areas.
The EPA designated part of
Hillsborough County, Florida as
nonattainment. In the 40 CFR part 81
table for Florida, the EPA described the
boundary of the nonattainment portion
of the county as: ‘‘That portion of
Hillsborough County encompassed by
the polygon with the vertices using
Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM)
coordinates in UTM zone 17 with datum
NAD83 as follows: (1) Vertices—UTM
Easting (m) 35881, UTM Northing
3076066; (2) vertices—UTM Easting (m)
355673, UTM Northing 3079275; (3)
vertices—UTM Easting (m) 360300,
UTM Northing 3086380; (4) vertices—
UTM Easting (m) 366850, UTM
Northing 3086692; (5) vertices—UTM
Easting (m) 368364, UTM Northing
3083760; and (6) vertices—UTM Easting
(m) 365708, UTM Northing 3079121.’’
Under (1) of the boundary description,
the EPA made a typographical error that
omitted a digit in identifying the UTM
Easting (m) vertice. The EPA is
E:\FR\FM\05MYR1.SGM
05MYR1

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
correcting the error so that the number
reads as ‘‘358581’’ rather than ‘‘35881.’’
This correction is consistent with the
TSD for the nonattainment area, which
is available in the docket (EPA–HQ–
OAR–2012–0233–0307) and on the SO2
designations Web site.
For the Campbell-Clermont Counties,
KY-OH SO2 nonattainment area, the
entry for the area in the 40 CFR part 81
table for Ohio indicates that only part of
Clermont County is included in the
nonattainment area, but the boundary
description for the included part was
inadvertently omitted. Therefore, the
EPA is adding the partial county
description to read ‘‘Pierce Township’’
as provided in the TSD (EPA–HQ–OAR–
2012–0233–0313) for the nonattainment
area, which is available in the docket
and on the SO2 designations Web site.
governmental jurisdiction that is a
government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3)
a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently
owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic
impacts of today’s final rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
This action makes technical
amendments to address several minor,
inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors
in the regulatory text concerning the air
quality designations for certain areas in
prior designation actions and does not
impose any requirements on small
entities.
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)
This action contains no federal
mandate under the provisions of Title II
of the UMRA of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531–
1538 for state, local or tribal
governments or the private sector. The
action does not impose an enforceable
duty on any state, local or tribal
governments or the private sector.
Therefore, this action is not subject to
the requirements of sections 202 and
205 of the UMRA.
This action is also not subject to the
requirements of section 203 of UMRA
because it contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or
uniquely affect small governments. This
action corrects minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in prior area
designations.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action makes technical
amendments to minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in prior area
designations. This type of action is
exempt from review under Executive
Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4,
1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction
Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This action
corrects minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in prior area
designations and does not require any
party to perform an information
collection.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
generally requires an agency to prepare
a regulatory flexibility analysis of any
rule subject to notice and comment
rulemaking requirements under the
Administrative Procedure Act or any
other statute unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities
include small businesses, small
organizations and small governmental
jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing
the impacts of today’s rule on small
entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A
small business as defined by the Small
Business Administration’s regulations at
13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132. This action
make technical amendments to minor,
inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors
in prior area designations. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply
to this action.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000). This action only makes technical
amendments to minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in prior area

designations. Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as
applying only to those regulatory
actions that concern health or safety
risks, such that the analysis required
under section 5–501 of the Executive
Order has the potential to influence the
regulation. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does
not establish an environmental standard
intended to mitigate health or safety
risks.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22,
2001)), because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA)
Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995,
Public Law No. 104–113, section 12(d)
(15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to
use voluntary consensus standards
(VCS) in its regulatory activities unless
to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise
impracticable. VCS are technical
standards (e.g., materials specifications,
test methods, sampling procedures and
business practices) that are developed or
adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA
directs the EPA to provide Congress,
through the Office of Management and
Budget, explanations when the agency
decides not to use available and
applicable VCS. This action does not
involve technical standards. Therefore,
the EPA did not consider the use of any
VCS.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629
(Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the U.S.
E:\FR\FM\05MYR1.SGM
05MYR1
25513
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
The EPA has determined that this rule
will not have disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects on minority or
low-income populations because it does
not affect the level of protection
provided to human health or the
environment. This action makes
technical amendments to minor,
inadvertent, nonsubstantive errors in
the designations for certain areas.
K. Congressional Review Act
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. The 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). This rule will be effective on
August 4, 2014.
L. Judicial Review
In the final actions designating areas
for the PM2.5 NAAQS, ozone NAAQS,
lead NAAQS, NO2 NAAQS, and SO2
NAAQS, the EPA determined that the
actions were ‘‘nationally applicable’’
within the meaning of CAA section
307(b)(1). Because this action is making
corrections to those nationally
applicable rules, we are determining
that this action is also nationally
applicable within the meaning of
section 307(b)(1). Thus, petitions for
review of this final action must be filed
in the Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit. Section 307(b)(1)
requires such petitions to be filed
within 60 days from the date final
action is published in the Federal
Register.

Federal Emergency Management
Agency
44 CFR Part 64
[Docket ID FEMA–2014–0002; Internal
Agency Docket No. FEMA–8331]
Suspension of Community Eligibility
Federal Emergency
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: Effective 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
wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:36 May 02, 2014
Jkt 232001
floodplain management measures aimed
at protecting lives and new construction
from future flooding. Section 1315 of
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
PO 00000
Frm 00037

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.
National Environmental Policy Act.
This rule is categorically excluded from
the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10,
Environmental Considerations. No
environmental impact assessment has
been prepared.
Regulatory Flexibility Act. The
Administrator has determined that this
rule is exempt from the requirements of
the Regulatory Flexibility Act because
the National Flood Insurance Act of
1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42
U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance
coverage unless an appropriate public
body adopts adequate floodplain
management measures with effective
enforcement measures. The
communities listed no longer comply
with the statutory requirements, and
after the effective date, flood insurance
will no longer be available in the
communities unless remedial action
takes place.
Regulatory Classification. This final
rule is not a significant regulatory action
under the criteria of section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866 of September 30,
1993, Regulatory Planning and Review,
58 FR 51735.
Executive Order 13132, Federalism.
This rule involves no policies that have
federalism implications under Executive
Order 13132.
Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice
Reform. This rule meets the applicable
standards of Executive Order 12988.
Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule
does not involve any collection of
information for purposes of the
Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.
List of Subjects in 44 CFR Part 64

RIN 2060-AS15
Technical Amendments to Inadvertent Errors in Air Quality
Designations for Fine Particles, Ozone, Lead, Nitrogen Dioxide and
Sulfur Dioxide
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to make technical amendments to address several minor,
inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors in the regulatory text
establishing the air quality designations for certain areas in fourteen
states for the 1997 Fine Particles (PM2.5) National Ambient
Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, the 2008 Lead
NAAQS, the 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) NAAQS and the 2010
Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) NAAQS. The states are: Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin. This
action does not change the designation for any area.
DATES: This rule is effective on August 4, 2014 without further notice,
unless the EPA receives adverse comment by June 4, 2014. If the EPA
receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that this rule, or the relevant
provisions of this rule, will not take effect.

recommends that you include your name and other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If the
EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot
contact you for clarification, the EPA may not be able to consider your
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters,
any form of encryption and be free of any defects or viruses. For
additional information about commenting on this rule, see section II of
this document. For additional information about the EPA's public
docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at https://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.
Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the index at

I. Why is the EPA using a direct final rule?
The EPA is publishing this direct final rule without a prior
proposed rule because we view this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment. This action makes technical amendments
to address several minor, inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors in the
regulatory text that established the air quality designations for
certain areas for several NAAQS. However, in the ``Proposed Rules''
section of this Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposed rule to make the technical amendments
if adverse comments are received on this direct final rule. We will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For further
information about commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section
and section II of this document.
If the EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this
direct final rule will not take effect. We would address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. If we
receive adverse comment on a distinct provision of this rulemaking, we
will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register indicating
which provisions we are withdrawing. The provisions that are not
withdrawn will become effective on the date set out above,
notwithstanding adverse comment on any other provision.
II. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?
A. Submitting CBI
Do not submit this information to the EPA through
www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or
CD-ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. Send or deliver information
identified as CBI only to the following address: Roberto Morales, OAQPS
Document Control Officer (C404-02), U.S. EPA,
[[Page 25510]]
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, Attention Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-
2013-0802.
B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments
When submitting comments, remember to:
Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other
identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and
page number).
Follow directions--The agency may ask you to respond to
specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of
Federal Register (CFR) part or section number.
Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives
and substitute language for your requested changes.
Describe any assumptions and provide any technical
information and/or data that you used.
Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and
suggest alternatives.
Explain your views as clearly as possible.
Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
III. What is the purpose of this action?
Whenever the EPA establishes a new NAAQS, section 107(d) of the
Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA to designate all areas of the
country as meeting or not meeting the new NAAQS, or as unclassifiable
where available information does not support a determination whether an
area is meeting the NAAQS. The area designations and boundaries for
each NAAQS are set forth in tables in the CFR at 40 CFR part 81.
This action makes technical amendments to minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in the 40 CFR part 81 regulatory text concerning
the air quality designations for certain areas in fourteen states for
the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, the 2008 Lead
NAAQS, the 2010 NO2 NAAQS and the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
These states are: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa,
Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee,
Washington and Wisconsin. The affected areas and the inadvertent errors
to be corrected are discussed in section IV and the revisions to the
regulatory text are provided at the end of this preamble. This action
does not change the designation for any area.
IV. What are the technical amendments to inadvertent errors in prior
designations?
A. Technical Amendments Concerning Designations for the 1997
PM2.5 Annual NAAQS
In an action signed on December 17, 2004, the EPA promulgated air
quality designations for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS (70 FR
944; January 5, 2005). The EPA designated Chattanooga as a multi-state
nonattainment area that includes parts of Tennessee, Georgia and
Alabama. As the naming convention for identifying multi-state
nonattainment areas, the EPA uses the initials for all states that are
partially or wholly included in the area. For the Chattanooga
nonattainment area, the EPA inadvertently omitted the state initials
for Alabama and identified the area as Chattanooga, TN-GA in the 40 CFR
part 81 tables designation tables. Therefore, it is not evident when
looking at the area name in the 40 CFR part 81 tables for Tennessee and
Georgia that the area includes a portion of Alabama. The EPA is
correcting the area name to be Chattanooga, TN-GA-AL.
B. Technical Amendments Concerning Designations for the 2008 Ozone
NAAQS
In an action signed on April 30, 2012, the EPA promulgated air
quality designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS (77 FR 30088; May 21,
2012). By letter dated January 28, 2014, the North Carolina Department
of Environment and Natural Resources notified the EPA that there were
errors in the 40 CFR part 81 designation table for North Carolina.
Specifically, North Carolina pointed out that Concord Township in
Cabarrus County and Gold Hill Township in Rowan County were not listed
as part of the Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area.
In March 2009, and again in October 2011, North Carolina
recommended that the counties of Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln,
Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, in their entirety and a portion of Iredell
County be designated as ``nonattainment.'' After evaluating North
Carolina's recommendation, in December 2011, the EPA notified North
Carolina that it intended to designate those areas as part of the
Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area. On February 29, 2012,
North Carolina submitted an updated recommendation requesting that for
Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties, the EPA only
include certain townships in the nonattainment area. North Carolina
provided a multi-factor technical analysis for each county to support
the partial county boundaries and provided maps identifying the
townships the state recommended as nonattainment. The EPA evaluated the
new technical information and concluded it was appropriate to include
the partial counties, as recommended by North Carolina, as part of the
designated nonattainment area. The technical analyses for Cabarrus and
Rowan Counties and the nonattainment area maps are clear that Concord
Township in Cabarrus County and Gold Hill Township in Rowan County were
intended to be included as part of the nonattainment area. However, the
two counties were not listed in Table 1 of their recommendation. In
preparing the 40 CFR part 81 designation table, the EPA relied on Table
1 for its list of counties included as part of the nonattainment area,
and thus inadvertently did not include Concord and Gold Hill Townships.
Therefore, the EPA is correcting the errors by listing Concord Township
in Cabarrus County and Gold Hill Township in Rowan County as part of
that Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area, consistent with the
state's recommendation and the analysis in the record.
In an action signed on May 31, 2012, the EPA promulgated the air
quality designation for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS for several counties in
Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin (77 FR 34221; June 11, 2012). The EPA
designated all or parts of 11 counties as the Chicago-Naperville, IL-
IN-WI nonattainment area, including part of Kenosha County, WI. In the
40 CFR part 81 table for Wisconsin, the EPA described the included part
of Kenosha County in terms of townships, based on historical maps that
the EPA has since learned are no longer in general use. Therefore, the
EPA is replacing the description of the boundary for the included part
of the county with an alternative description that is easily
recognizable and well defined in existing maps and documents in current
use. The alternative partial county description is ``The portion of
Kenosha County bounded by the Lake Michigan shoreline on the East, the
Kenosha County boundary on the North, the Kenosha County boundary on
the South and the I-94 corridor (including the entire corridor) on the
West.''
C. Technical Amendments Concerning Designations for the 2008 Lead NAAQS
The EPA completed the designations for the 2008 Lead NAAQS in two
final rules. The EPA promulgated the first rule designating certain
areas for the 2008 Lead NAAQS in an action signed on November 16, 2010
(75 FR 71033;
[[Page 25511]]
November 22, 2010) and the second rule designating all remaining areas
on November 8, 2011 (76 FR 72097; November 22, 2011).
The EPA is correcting inadvertent errors in the entries for two
areas in the 40 CFR part 81 tables for the lead designations. In the
second rule, the EPA inadvertently omitted the word ``County'' in the
name of the lead nonattainment area in Iowa and identified it as
``Pottawattamie, IA'' rather than ``Pottawattamie County, IA.'' The EPA
is adding ``County'' to the area name. The area is correctly identified
as ``Pottawattamie County, IA'' in the Technical Support Document (TSD)
for the area, which is available in the docket (EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0443-
0491).
In the second rule designating areas for the 2008 Lead NAAQS, the
EPA also reformatted the existing lead designation tables in 40 CFR
part 81. For the ``Iron, Dent, and Reynolds Counties, MO''
nonattainment area, which was designated in the first rule, a
typographical error occurred when the tables were reformatted, which
resulted in the designation effective date for the included portion of
Dent County being listed in the 40 CFR part 81 table as 2/31/10 rather
than 12/31/10. The effective date was correct in the original table
included in the first rule. The EPA is correcting the typographical
error. The effective date for the other portions of the nonattainment
area is correctly identified as 12/31/10, consistent with the effective
date for all other areas designated in the first designation rule.
D. Technical Amendments Concerning Designations for the 2010
NO2 NAAQS
In an action signed on January 20, 2012, the EPA promulgated air
quality designations for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS (77 FR 9532;
February 17, 2012). The EPA designated all areas as unclassifiable/
attainment. In letters sent in June 2011, from the EPA Regional
Administrators to the states, the EPA indicated it intended to
designate all areas of the country as unclassifiable/attainment using
the boundaries each state had recommended to the EPA or using revised
boundaries each state might provide in response to the letter. The EPA
recommended that the states consider the implications for the
prevention of significant deterioration permitting program if the
entire state were designated as a single area rather than as several
smaller areas.
For the states of Indiana, Minnesota and Washington, the EPA
inadvertently designated areas according to the state's original
recommendations rather than the revised boundary recommendations
submitted by these states. For Idaho and Oregon, the EPA designated
areas according to the EPA's interpretation of each state's original
recommendation. Subsequently, the states informed the EPA that the
agency had interpreted their recommendations incorrectly. The EPA is
correcting the listings of the unclassifiable/attainment areas for each
of these five states in accordance with their recommendations as
discussed below.
For Indiana, the EPA designated four counties separately and
designated the remaining counties in the states collectively as ``Rest
of State.'' By letter dated July 29, 2011, from Thomas W. Easterly,
Commissioner of the State of Indiana, to Susan Hedman, EPA Regional
Administrator, Indiana responded to the EPA's June 2011 letter
concerning designations for the NO2 NAAQS. Indiana said it
``wishes to make it clear that each county within the state should be
classified under the standard separately.'' The EPA is correcting the
listing of the of unclassifiable/attainment areas in Indiana to list
those remaining counties as separate areas.
For Minnesota, the EPA designated all areas in the state
unclassifiable/attainment collectively as ``State of Minnesota.'' By
letter dated August 9, 2011, from Paul W. Assen, Commissioner of
Minnesota, to Susan Hedman, EPA Regional Administrator, Minnesota
provided revised recommendations in response to the EPA's June 2011
letter concerning designations for the NO2 NAAQS. Minnesota
recommended that the EPA ``make a designation for each county within
Minnesota.'' The EPA is correcting the listing of the unclassifiable/
attainment areas in Minnesota to list each county as a separate area.
For Washington, the EPA designated all areas in the state
unclassifiable/attainment collectively as ``State of Washington.'' By
letter dated August 19, 2011, from Ted Sturdevant, Director of the
State of Washington Department of Ecology, to Dennis J. McLerran, EPA
Regional Administrator, Washington clarified the state's
recommendations in response to the EPA's June 2011 letter concerning
designations for the NO2 NAAQS. Washington recommended that
all six of the state's Air Quality Control Regions (AQCRs) be
designated unclassifiable/attainment. The EPA is correcting the listing
of the unclassifiable/attainment areas in Washington to list the areas
by AQCRs.
For Idaho, the EPA designated the unclassifiable/attainment areas
by AQCRs, according to the EPA's interpretation of the state's December
17, 2010, recommendation from Toni Hardesty, Director of the Idaho
Department of Environmental Quality to Dennis J. McLerran, EPA Regional
Administrator. Subsequently, in conversation with the EPA, Idaho
clarified that the state had wanted a statewide area designation for
the NO2 NAAQS rather than listing each AQCR as a separate
area. The EPA is correcting the listings of the unclassifiable/
attainment areas for Idaho to specify one statewide unclassifiable/
attainment area in accordance with the state's original recommendation,
as clarified.
For Oregon, the EPA designated each county separately as an
unclassifiable/attainment area according to the EPA's interpretation of
the state's January 21, 2011, recommendation from Governor John
Kitzhaber, MD to Dennis J. McLerran, EPA Regional Administrator.
Subsequently, in conversation with the EPA, Oregon clarified that the
state had wanted all areas in the state to be designated collectively
as one statewide area for the NO2 NAAQS rather than by
separate counties. The EPA is correcting the listings of the
unclassifiable/attainment areas for Oregon to specify one statewide
unclassifiable/attainment area in accordance with the state's original
recommendation, as clarified.
E. Technical Amendments Concerning Designations for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS
In an action signed on July 25, 2013, the EPA promulgated the
initial designations for certain areas for the 2010 SO2
NAAQS (78 FR 47191; August 5, 2013). The EPA is correcting inadvertent
errors in descriptions for two of the areas.
The EPA designated part of Hillsborough County, Florida as
nonattainment. In the 40 CFR part 81 table for Florida, the EPA
described the boundary of the nonattainment portion of the county as:
``That portion of Hillsborough County encompassed by the polygon with
the vertices using Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates in UTM
zone 17 with datum NAD83 as follows: (1) Vertices--UTM Easting (m)
35881, UTM Northing 3076066; (2) vertices--UTM Easting (m) 355673, UTM
Northing 3079275; (3) vertices--UTM Easting (m) 360300, UTM Northing
3086380; (4) vertices--UTM Easting (m) 366850, UTM Northing 3086692;
(5) vertices--UTM Easting (m) 368364, UTM Northing 3083760; and (6)
vertices--UTM Easting (m) 365708, UTM Northing 3079121.'' Under (1) of
the boundary description, the EPA made a typographical error that
omitted a digit in identifying the UTM Easting (m) vertice. The EPA is
[[Page 25512]]
correcting the error so that the number reads as ``358581'' rather than
``35881.'' This correction is consistent with the TSD for the
nonattainment area, which is available in the docket (EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-
0233-0307) and on the SO2 designations Web site.
For the Campbell-Clermont Counties, KY-OH SO2
nonattainment area, the entry for the area in the 40 CFR part 81 table
for Ohio indicates that only part of Clermont County is included in the
nonattainment area, but the boundary description for the included part
was inadvertently omitted. Therefore, the EPA is adding the partial
county description to read ``Pierce Township'' as provided in the TSD
(EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0233-0313) for the nonattainment area, which is
available in the docket and on the SO2 designations Web
site.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action makes technical amendments to minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in prior area designations. This type of action
is exempt from review under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This action corrects minor,
inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors in prior area designations and
does not require any party to perform an information collection.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act or any other statute unless the agency certifies that the
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses,
small organizations and small governmental jurisdictions. For purposes
of assessing the impacts of today's rule on small entities, small
entity is defined as: (1) A small business as defined by the Small
Business Administration's regulations at 13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small
governmental jurisdiction that is a government of a city, county, town,
school district or special district with a population of less than
50,000; and (3) a small organization that is any not-for-profit
enterprise which is independently owned and operated and is not
dominant in its field.
After considering the economic impacts of today's final rule on
small entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This action
makes technical amendments to address several minor, inadvertent and
nonsubstantive errors in the regulatory text concerning the air quality
designations for certain areas in prior designation actions and does
not impose any requirements on small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action contains no federal mandate under the provisions of
Title II of the UMRA of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 for state, local or
tribal governments or the private sector. The action does not impose an
enforceable duty on any state, local or tribal governments or the
private sector. Therefore, this action is not subject to the
requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203
of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action
corrects minor, inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors in prior area
designations.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132. This action make technical
amendments to minor, inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors in prior
area designations. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this
action.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action only
makes technical amendments to minor, inadvertent and nonsubstantive
errors in prior area designations. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997) as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health
or safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of
the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not
establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or
safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995, Public Law No. 104-113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS) in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. VCS are
technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA directs the EPA to provide Congress,
through the Office of Management and Budget, explanations when the
agency decides not to use available and applicable VCS. This action
does not involve technical standards. Therefore, the EPA did not
consider the use of any VCS.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the U.S.
[[Page 25513]]
The EPA has determined that this rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on minority or low-income populations because it does not
affect the level of protection provided to human health or the
environment. This action makes technical amendments to minor,
inadvertent, nonsubstantive errors in the designations for certain
areas.
K. Congressional Review Act
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. The 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). This rule will be effective on August 4, 2014.
L. Judicial Review
In the final actions designating areas for the PM2.5
NAAQS, ozone NAAQS, lead NAAQS, NO2 NAAQS, and
SO2 NAAQS, the EPA determined that the actions were
``nationally applicable'' within the meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1).
Because this action is making corrections to those nationally
applicable rules, we are determining that this action is also
nationally applicable within the meaning of section 307(b)(1). Thus,
petitions for review of this final action must be filed in the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Section 307(b)(1)
requires such petitions to be filed within 60 days from the date final
action is published in the Federal Register.
