C. What is the purpose of the submitted
rules?
The primary purpose of these rules is
to improve the current monitoring
schemes so that sources, districts, states
and EPA can determine a source’s
compliance with underlying emission
limitations or standards on a regular
basis.
II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action
A. How is EPA evaluating the rules?
As part of the 1990 amendments to
the CAA, Congress amended Sections
113 and 114. Among the revisions are
provisions which require an enhanced
monitoring and compliance certification
program for major stationary sources of
air pollution. EPA Region IX provided
recommended language necessary to be
incorporated into SIPs. A summary of
our evaluation finds that the credible
evidence language used in Rules 910
and 3:8 is identical to the language
required in the CAA for the
implementation of regulations. In
addition, we have evaluated whether
the rules are adequately enforceable and
whether they would interfere with the
on-going process for ensuring that
requirements for Reasonable Further
Progress (RFP) and attainment of
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) are met.
Guidance and policy documents that
we use to evaluate enforceability and
other CAA requirements include a letter
dated May 16, 1994, from EPA Region
IX, Felicia Marcus, entitled ‘‘Call for SIP
Revision Concerning Enhanced
Monitoring’’.
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES
B. Do the rules meet the evaluation
criteria?
We believe these rules are consistent
with the relevant policy and guidance
regarding enforceability and SIP
relaxations. Our Technical Support
Document (TSD) has more information
on our evaluation.
C. EPA Recommendations To Further
Improve the Rules
When these rules are next revised, we
recommend that section D.2.b(1) of
ICAPCD Rule 910, and section c.2.d of
SHAQMD Rule 3:8 be modified to
include test methods as outlined in 40
CFR part 63. This is not an
approvability issue because the rules do
not limit credible evidence to those
methods specifically listed, but it would
be clearer to also specify part 63 in this
list.
D. Public Comment and Final Action
As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of
the Act, EPA is fully approving the
VerDate Mar<15>2010
17:31 Aug 27, 2014
Jkt 232001
submitted rules because we believe they
fulfill all relevant requirements. We do
not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without
proposing it in advance. However, in
the Proposed Rules section of this
Federal Register, we are simultaneously
proposing approval of the same
submitted rules. If we receive adverse
comments by September 29, 2014, we
will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register to notify the public
that the direct final approval will not
take effect and we will address the
comments in a subsequent final action
based on the proposal. If we do not
receive timely adverse comments, the
direct final approval will be effective
without further notice on October 27,
2014. This will incorporate these rules
into the federally enforceable SIP.
Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if
that provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
State choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects with practical,
appropriate, 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).

Synopsis of the Order
By this Order, we amend § 25.119(f) of
the Commission’s rules to extend the
time by which parties must consummate
an approved satellite space station or
earth station license assignment or
transfer of control from 60 to 180 days.
This amendment is part of the
Commission’s process reform initiative
and will provide parties greater
flexibility to set closing dates, decrease
the need to file extension of time
requests, and harmonize this
consummation deadline with that in
other wireless services. Because this
amendment involves a rule of agency
procedure, general notice and an
opportunity to comment are not
required. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A).
Section 25.119(f) of the Commission’s
rules requires space station and earth
station licensees to consummate an
assignment or transfer of control within
60 days from the date of authorization.
47 CFR 25.119(f). This period is shorter
than the 180-day consummation period
for wireless licenses, which are often
involved in the same transaction with
satellite licenses. See 47 CFR 1.948(d).
Moreover, many space station and earth
station licensees seek Commission
approval well in advance of closing a
transaction, and may need more than 60
days to consummate after Commission
authorization. This can result in the
filing of requests to extend the
consummation deadline, and these
requests have been granted.
To address this issue, a staff working
group recommended, under
Recommendation 5.30 of its Process
Reform Report, extending the 60-day
consummation period to 180 days. We
find that it is in the public interest to
adopt this recommendation. The
amendment will remove unnecessary
administrative burdens by eliminating
the filing of such extension of time
requests. A 180-day deadline may also
facilitate transactions involving a
company holding licenses in multiple
services.

We hereby modify § 25.119(f) of our
rules consistent with Recommendation
5.30. Accordingly, parties to an
approved license transfer or assignment
will be required to consummate the
transaction within 180 days from the
date of authorization, instead of within
60 days.
Accordingly, it is ordered that,
pursuant to sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the
Communications Act, as amended, 47
U.S.C. 154(i), (j), and section 553(b)(A)
of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), § 25.119(f) of
the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR
25.119(f), is amended as described
above.
It is further ordered that this Order is
effective upon publication in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section
553(d)(1) of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1).
As a result, the new rule will apply to
all transfers and assignments that are
pending or have been approved, but not
consummated, at the time of, and after,
Federal Register publication.
Procedural Matters
This action does not require notice
and comment, and therefore is not
subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act
of 1980, as amended. See 5 U.S.C.
601(2), 603(a).
This document does not contain new
or modified information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. In addition, therefore, it does not
contain any new or modified
information collection burden for small
business concerns with fewer than 25
employees, pursuant to the Small
Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002,
Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C.
3506(c)(4).
The Commission will not send a copy
of this Order pursuant to the
Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C.
801(a)(1)(A), because the amended rule
is a rule of agency organization,
procedure, or practice that does not
‘‘substantially affect the rights or
obligations of non-agency parties.’’

Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.
B. Are there other versions of these rules?
There are no previous versions of Rule 910 in the ICAPCD portion of
the SIP, nor Rule 3:8 in the SHAQMD portion of the SIP.
[[Page 51262]]
C. What is the purpose of the submitted rules?
The primary purpose of these rules is to improve the current

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action
A. How is EPA evaluating the rules?
As part of the 1990 amendments to the CAA, Congress amended
Sections 113 and 114. Among the revisions are provisions which require
an enhanced monitoring and compliance certification program for major
stationary sources of air pollution. EPA Region IX provided recommended
language necessary to be incorporated into SIPs. A summary of our
evaluation finds that the credible evidence language used in Rules 910
and 3:8 is identical to the language required in the CAA for the
implementation of regulations. In addition, we have evaluated whether
the rules are adequately enforceable and whether they would interfere
with the on-going process for ensuring that requirements for Reasonable
Further Progress (RFP) and attainment of National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) are met.
Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability and other CAA requirements include a letter dated May
16, 1994, from EPA Region IX, Felicia Marcus, entitled ``Call for SIP
Revision Concerning Enhanced Monitoring''.
B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?
We believe these rules are consistent with the relevant policy and
guidance regarding enforceability and SIP relaxations. Our Technical
Support Document (TSD) has more information on our evaluation.
C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rules
When these rules are next revised, we recommend that section
D.2.b(1) of ICAPCD Rule 910, and section c.2.d of SHAQMD Rule 3:8 be
modified to include test methods as outlined in 40 CFR part 63. This is
not an approvability issue because the rules do not limit credible
evidence to those methods specifically listed, but it would be clearer
to also specify part 63 in this list.
D. Public Comment and Final Action
As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully
approving the submitted rules because we believe they fulfill all
relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in advance.
However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, we are
simultaneously proposing approval of the same submitted rules. If we
receive adverse comments by September 29, 2014, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the
direct final approval will not take effect and we will address the
comments in a subsequent final action based on the proposal. If we do
not receive timely adverse comments, the direct final approval will be
effective without further notice on October 27, 2014. This will
incorporate these rules into the federally enforceable SIP.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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 Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, 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).
