Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Regulatory Impact Analysis
Under Executive Order 12866, the
Secretary must determine whether this
regulatory action is ‘‘significant’’ and,
therefore, subject to the requirements of
the Executive order and subject to
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Section 3(f) of Executive
Order 12866 defines a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ as an action likely to
result in a rule that may—
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more, or
adversely affect a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities in a material way (also
referred to as an ‘‘economically
significant’’ rule);
(2) Create serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impacts of entitlement grants, user fees,
or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
stated in the Executive order.
This final regulatory action is not a
significant regulatory action subject to
review by OMB under section 3(f) of
Executive Order 12866.
We have also reviewed this final
regulatory action under Executive Order
13563, which supplements and
explicitly reaffirms the principles,
structures, and definitions governing
regulatory review established in
Executive Order 12866. To the extent
permitted by law, Executive Order
13563 requires that an agency—
(1) Propose or adopt regulations only
upon a reasoned determination that
their benefits justify their costs
(recognizing that some benefits and
costs are difficult to quantify);
(2) Tailor its regulations to impose the
least burden on society, consistent with
obtaining regulatory objectives and
taking into account—among other things
and to the extent practicable—the costs
of cumulative regulations;
(3) In choosing among alternative
regulatory approaches, select those
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:02 Jul 22, 2014
Jkt 232001
environmental, public health and safety,
and other advantages; distributive
impacts; and equity);
(4) To the extent feasible, specify
performance objectives, rather than the
behavior or manner of compliance a
regulated entity must adopt; and
(5) Identify and assess available
alternatives to direct regulation,
including economic incentives—such as
user fees or marketable permits—to
encourage the desired behavior, or
provide information that enables the
public to make choices.
Executive Order 13563 also requires
an agency ‘‘to use the best available
techniques to quantify anticipated
present and future benefits and costs as
accurately as possible.’’ The Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs of
OMB has emphasized that these
techniques may include ‘‘identifying
changing future compliance costs that
might result from technological
innovation or anticipated behavioral
changes.’’
We are issuing this final priority only
on a reasoned determination that its
benefits justify its costs. In choosing
among alternative regulatory
approaches, we selected those
approaches that maximize net benefits.
Based on the analysis that follows, the
Department believes that this regulatory
action is consistent with the principles
in Executive Order 13563.
We also have determined that this
regulatory action does not unduly
interfere with State, local, and tribal
governments in the exercise of their
governmental functions.
In accordance with both Executive
orders, the Department has assessed the
potential costs and benefits, both
quantitative and qualitative, of this
regulatory action. The potential costs
are those resulting from statutory
requirements and those we have
determined as necessary for
administering the Department’s
programs and activities. The benefits of
the Rehabilitation Long-Term Training
program have been well established
over the years through the successful
completion of similar projects. Grants to
provide funding for scholars to acquire
master’s degrees and certificates in the
rehabilitation specialty areas listed in
this notice are needed to ensure that
State VR agencies and related agencies
have a supply of qualified rehabilitation
professionals with the skills to help
individuals with disabilities to achieve
employment in today’s economy.
Intergovernmental Review: This
program is subject to Executive Order
12372 and the regulations in 34 CFR

Executive order is to foster an

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 141 / Wednesday, July 23, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
The EPA is partially
approving and partially disapproving
the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submittal from the State of Washington
(Washington or the State) demonstrating
that the SIP meets the infrastructure
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
for the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) promulgated for
lead on October 15, 2008. The CAA
requires that each state, after a new or
revised NAAQS is promulgated, review
their SIP to ensure that it meets the
infrastructure requirements necessary to
implement the new or revised NAAQS.
On April 14, 2014, Washington certified
that the Washington SIP meets the
infrastructure requirements of the CAA
for purposes of the 2008 lead NAAQS,
except for those requirements related to
the Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) permitting program
currently operated under a Federal
Implementation Plan (FIP). The EPA has
determined that Washington’s 2008 lead
SIP is adequate for purposes of the
infrastructure SIP requirements of CAA
section 110, with the exception of the
requirements related to PSD permitting
and portions of the interstate transport
requirements. The EPA finds that the
SIP deficiencies related to PSD
permitting, however, have been
adequately addressed by the existing
EPA FIP and, therefore, no further
action is required by Washington or the
EPA. The EPA will address the
remaining interstate transport
requirements in a separate action.
SUMMARY:
This final rule is effective on
August 22, 2014.
DATES:
The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA–R10–OAR–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, wherever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, it is
intended to refer to the EPA.
EPA, likewise, has no additional FIP
responsibilities as a result of this partial
disapproval for requirements related to
PSD. Remaining interstate transport
requirements under CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 lead
NAAQS will be addressed in a separate
action.
Table of Contents
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501, et seq.);
• is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601, et seq.);
• does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• does not provide the EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
I. Background
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
On April 14, 2014, Washington
submitted a certification that the State
SIP meets the requirements of CAA
sections 110(a)(1) and (2) for the 2008
lead NAAQS, except for the
requirements related to PSD permitting
and portions of the interstate transport
requirements. On May 14, 2014, The
EPA proposed to partially approve and
partially disapprove the submittal (79
FR 27533). An explanation of the CAA
requirements and implementing
regulations that are met by this SIP
submittal, a detailed explanation of the
revision, and the EPA’s reasons for
approving it were provided in the notice
of proposed rulemaking, and will not be
restated here. The public comment
period for this proposed rule ended on
June 13, 2014. We did not receive any
comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA is partially approving the
April 14, 2014, submittal from
Washington to demonstrate that the SIP
meets the requirements of sections
110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA for the lead
NAAQS promulgated on October 15,
2008, except for the requirements
related to PSD permitting and portions
of the interstate transport requirements
as discussed in the proposed
rulemaking for this action. Specifically,
we have determined that the current
EPA-approved Washington SIP meets
the following CAA section 110(a)(2)
infrastructure elements for the 2008 lead
NAAQS: (A), (B), (C)—except for those
elements covered by the PSD FIP,
(D)(i)(II)—except for those elements
covered by the PSD FIP, (D)(ii)—except
for those elements covered by the PSD
FIP, (E), (F), (G), (H), (J)—except for
those elements covered by the PSD FIP,
(K), (L), and (M). As noted in the
proposed rulemaking, the EPA
anticipates that there would be no
adverse consequences to Washington or
to sources in the State resulting from
this partial disapproval of the
infrastructure SIP related to PSD. The

Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by September 22,
2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of
this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time
within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action. This action may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2)).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because it will not
impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. The
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian
country located in the state, except for
non-trust land within the exterior
boundaries of the Puyallup Indian
Reservation, also known as the 1873
Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe
of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25
U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly
provided state and local agencies in
Washington authority over activities on
non-trust lands within the 1873 Survey
Area and the EPA is therefore approving
this SIP on such lands. Consistent with
EPA policy, the EPA nonetheless
provided a consultation opportunity to
the Puyallup Tribe in a letter dated
September 3, 2013. The EPA did not
receive a request for consultation.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a

Table of Contents
I. Background
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
On April 14, 2014, Washington submitted a certification that the
State SIP meets the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) for
the 2008 lead NAAQS, except for the requirements related to PSD
permitting and portions of the interstate transport requirements. On
May 14, 2014, The EPA proposed to partially approve and partially
disapprove the submittal (79 FR 27533). An explanation of the CAA
requirements and implementing regulations that are met by this SIP
submittal, a detailed explanation of the revision, and the EPA's
reasons for approving it were provided in the notice of proposed
rulemaking, and will not be restated here. The public comment period
for this proposed rule ended on June 13, 2014. We did not receive any
comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA is partially approving the April 14, 2014, submittal from
Washington to demonstrate that the SIP meets the requirements of
sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA for the lead NAAQS promulgated on
October 15, 2008, except for the requirements related to PSD permitting
and portions of the interstate transport requirements as discussed in
the proposed rulemaking for this action. Specifically, we have
determined that the current EPA-approved Washington SIP meets the
following CAA section 110(a)(2) infrastructure elements for the 2008
lead NAAQS: (A), (B), (C)--except for those elements covered by the PSD
FIP, (D)(i)(II)--except for those elements covered by the PSD FIP,
(D)(ii)--except for those elements covered by the PSD FIP, (E), (F),
(G), (H), (J)--except for those elements covered by the PSD FIP, (K),
(L), and (M). As noted in the proposed rulemaking, the EPA anticipates
that there would be no adverse consequences to Washington or to sources
in the State resulting from this partial disapproval of the
infrastructure SIP related to PSD. The EPA, likewise, has no additional
FIP responsibilities as a result of this partial disapproval for
requirements related to PSD. Remaining interstate transport
requirements under CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 lead
NAAQS will be addressed in a separate action.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501, et seq.);
is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601, et seq.);
does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
[[Page 42685]]
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. The SIP is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the state, except for non-trust land within
the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known
as the 1873 Survey Area. Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement
Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C. 1773, Congress explicitly provided state and
local agencies in Washington authority over activities on non-trust
lands within the 1873 Survey Area and the EPA is therefore approving
this SIP on such lands. Consistent with EPA policy, the EPA nonetheless
provided a consultation opportunity to the Puyallup Tribe in a letter
dated September 3, 2013. The EPA did not receive a request for
consultation.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by September 22, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
