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. section 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. section 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 November 17, 2014. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) Dated: August 11, 2014. Alexis Strauss, Acting Regional Administrator, Region IX.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information section is arranged as follows: I. What is the background for this action? II. Discussion of State Submittal III. What action is EPA taking today? IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. What is the background for this action? Open burning is generally prohibited in the state of Indiana. Indiana state law exempts certain open burning activities under conditions that minimize the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Sep 16, 2014 Jkt 232001 impact on the air quality and public health. Open burning activities allowed include: maintenance burning, recreational or ceremonial fires, farm burning, waste oil burning, prescribed used to facilitate the growth of desired vegetation, and residential burning. Indiana’s open burning rule at 326 IAC 4–1 [formerly Air Pollution Code– 2, (APC–2)] applies state-wide and was first approved on June 22, 1978 (43 FR 26722), and re-codified on July 16, 1982 (47 FR 30972). On February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3581), EPA approved a ban on residential open burning for Clark, Floyd, Lake and Porter counties to reduce VOC emissions as part of Indiana’s fifteen (15) percent rate of progress plan for the 1-hour O3 standard. This ban on residential open burning remains a permanent and enforceable control measure in the state’s O3 SIP. On November 14, 2011, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a request to EPA to revise 326 IAC 4–1. IDEM published several newspaper notices (March 31, 2011, June 25, 2011) informing the public of the revisions to 326 IAC 4–1–3 and 326 IAC 4–1–4. IDEM held a public hearing on these revisions on August 3, 2011. There were no comments received. IDEM’s November 14, 2011, submittal also included certification that adoption of the revisions at 326 IAC 4–1–0.5, 326 IAC 4–1–1, 326 IAC 4–1–2, 326 IAC 4– 1–3, 326 IAC 4–1–4, 326 IAC 4–1–4.1, 326 IAC 4–1–4.2, and 326 IAC 4–1–4.3, had been preceded by adequate notice and public hearing. II. Discussion of State Submittal Below is a discussion of Indiana’s rule, including an identification of any significant changes from the previously approved SIP. • 4–1–0.5 Definitions This section defines several terms, including a revised definition of ‘‘open burn.’’ IDEM consolidated the definition of the terms from 326 IAC 4–1, ‘‘open burning’’ and ‘‘open’’ into one definition at 326 IAC 4–1–0.5(6), ‘‘open burn.’’ The term ‘‘open burn’’ means, the burning of any materials wherein air contaminants resulting from combustion are emitted directly into the air, without passing through a stack or chimney from an enclosed chamber. This revision provides clarity to the definition of ‘‘open burn’’ and is approvable into the Indiana SIP. • 4–1–1 Scope This section describes the rule’s applicability. The applicability remains PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 consistent with the existing SIP and continues to apply to all open burning state-wide. Because the revisions to this section are administrative and non-substantive, EPA finds 326 IAC 4–1–1 remains consistent with the approved SIP, and therefore, are approvable into Indiana’s SIP. • 4–1–2 Prohibition Against Open Burning This section prohibits open burning of any material not exempt, or authorized, unless approval has been granted by the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designated agent. There were no substantive changes to this section of the rule. The revision reflects a wording change. The language in the SIP reads, ‘‘No person shall open burn any material except as provided in section 3 or 4.’’ Indiana’s revised the language now reads, ‘‘Open burning is prohibited except as allowed in this rule.’’ The revision to this section requires a person or entity subject this rule to comply with the entire rule and not just certain sections. Thus, EPA finds the revision to the rule to be consistent with the approved SIP and is approvable into Indiana’s SIP. • 4–1–3 Exemptions In the approved SIP, section 3 of 326 IAC 4–1 identifies those exemptions for certain open burning activities under conditions that minimize the impact on air quality and public health. In section (3)(a)(1) Indiana identifies exemptions in the rule for open burning for maintenance purposes. This exemption allows open burning of the following: (1) Vegetation from farms, cemeteries, drainage ditches and agricultural land, if the burn occurs in an unincorporated area; (2) wood products from pruning or clearing a roadside by a county highway department and the initial clearing of a public utility right-of-way if in an unincorporated area; (3) undesirable wood structures or remnants; and (4) clean petroleum products for maintaining or for repairing railroad tracks, but not including railroad ties. Section (3)(a)(2) applies certain restrictions to open burning, for maintenance purposes, that is allowed by this rule. These include: Extinguishing the fire if it creates a nuisance or a fire hazard; all fires must be attended at all times during burning until completely extinguished; no burning during unfavorable meteorological conditions; removal of all asbestos-containing material before burning of a structure. The language in E:\FR\FM\17SER1.SGM 17SER1 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 17, 2014 / Rules and Regulations asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES this section (3)(a) remains consistent with the existing SIP. Section (3)(b) specifies certain conditions that apply to any fires allowed by this rule in section (3)(c). The language in this section (3)(b) remains consistent with the existing SIP. Section (3)(c) allows the following types of fires: Recreational and ceremonial fires; private residential burning; and waste oil burning. IDEM added criteria that would allow the burning of two single family, nondemolished dwellings per calendar year by municipal fire departments for the purposes of live fire training subject to certain conditions, including written notification to IDEM and the removal of material that would otherwise result in toxic air emissions; and the ceremonial burning of United States flags. These additional exemptions are subject to both the conditions in section (3)(b) and more specific conditions associated with each exemption to limit open burning emissions. The revisions to section 3 of 326 IAC are not anticipated to increase the amount or frequency of open burning occurring in Indiana, and therefore, are approvable into the Indiana SIP. • 4–1–4 Emergency Burning IDEM revised section 4 renaming it ‘‘Emergency burning’’. The SIP approved language in section 4 of 326 IAC 4–1 identified certain types of open burning not exempt by the rule that would require a person(s) to obtain prior approval before open burning by the Air Pollution Control Board (APCB) or its designated agent. Among the list of open burnings that IDEM would consider granting approval included emergency burnings. The revisions address the administrative function associated with open burning approvals in the event of an emergency. IDEM revised the rule for emergency burning to require written approval by the Commissioner. Emergency burnings may be authorized for spilled petroleum products and clean wood waste, vegetation or deceased animals under certain conditions. This revision serves to help clarify language in the rule regarding the approval process for emergency burning. Thus, EPA finds the revision to the rule to be consistent with the approved SIP when open burning for emergency purposes, and is approvable into the Indiana SIP. • 4–1–4.1 to 4–1–4.3 Open Burning Approval Process The open burning ‘‘approval process’’ is contained in sections 4–1–4.1 thru 4– VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Sep 16, 2014 Jkt 232001 1–4.3. The approval process is designed to simplify the relevant steps for a person(s) or an entity to submit a request to open burn or obtain a variance from the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designated agent, similar to requests for approvals for emergency burning, as noted above in section 4. Below is a discussion of the various parts of Indiana’s open burning approval process. 4–1–4.1 Open Burning Approval; Criteria and Conditions Section 4.1(a)—Burning not exempted by Section 3 or 4 of this rule may be authorized by the issuance of an approval by the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designated agent, after consideration of an approval application, for fire training, burning of natural growth derived from a clearing operation and burning of highly explosive or dangerous materials for which no alternative disposal method exists, burning of clean wood products and natural growth. Section 4.1(b) specifies the criteria that may be considered for approval for open burning, including: A demonstration that alternative methods of disposal are impractical; there are not more than five residences within 500 feet of the proposed burning site; there have been no open burning violations at the site of the proposed burning or the applicant; the burning site is located in a county not designated as a nonattainment area for PM10 (particles that are 10 micrometers in diameter or smaller) or O3 and is not located in Clark or Floyd County. Section 4.1(c) prohibits approval of residential burning in Clark, Floyd, Lake or Porter County. Section 4.1(d) provides the conditions that any approval for open burning may be subject to, including: Only clean wood products shall be burned; no asbestos-containing material shall be burned; no burning shall be conducted during unfavorable meteorological conditions; and burning shall be conducted during daylight hours only. Section 4.1(e) specifies that an approval letter for open burning shall be valid for no longer than one year from the date of issuance. However, an approval letter for open burning may be valid for as long as five years, if the approval application is accompanied by an open burning plan which must contain a description of the open burning proposed. Section 4.1(f) states that the Commissioner may add conditions to an approval letter, as necessary, to prevent a public nuisance or to protect public PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 55643 health. Such conditions may be based on local air quality conditions, including whether the area is a nonattainment county as defined in 326 IAC 1–4–1 or has been redesignated from nonattainment to attainment status. 4–1–4.2 Open Burning; Approval Revocation As a part of the approval process, this section allows the Commissioner to revoke an approval letter for open burning if the applicant violates any requirement of Section 4.1(d) or 4.1(f) or falsifies any information on an application for an approval. 4–1–4.3 Open Burning Approval; Delegation of Authority This section of the rule states that the Commissioner may delegate the authority to issue approval letters for open burning to another agency that has the necessary legal authority to implement an approval program. EPA finds the ‘‘approval process’’ outlined in 326 IAC 4–1–4.1 to 326 IAC 4–1–4.3 to be consistent with the approved SIP. The revisions to the rule does not relax IDEM’s review process, provides clarity, as well as simplifies the administrative procedures necessary to obtain approval or a variance to open burn. EPA finds Indiana’s open burning rule provides a state-wide prohibition of open burning with reasonable exceptions. Open burning not specifically exempt may be authorized by the Commissioner for specific purposes, e.g., fire training or burning of highly explosive materials, and based upon specified criteria, e.g. alternative methods of disposal are not feasible and there are not more than five residences within 500 feet of the proposed burning site. EPA will recognize approvals for burning not specifically exempted by these regulations authorized by the Commissioner or the Commissioner’s designated agent provided that a copy of the approval letter and application be kept on file and made available to EPA upon request. The revisions to 326 IAC 4–1 range from wording changes and additions, improve and expand the applicability of the rule and its impact on air quality statewide. EPA is approving this rule for attainment counties and is taking no action on the rule for Clark, Floyd, Lake and Porter counties which are nonattainment or maintenance areas for O3 or PM. On balance, EPA finds that the rule strengthens the existing SIP in Indiana and as such, deems the submittal approvable. E:\FR\FM\17SER1.SGM 17SER1 55644 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 180 / Wednesday, September 17, 2014 / Rules and Regulations III. What action is EPA taking today? EPA is approving a November 14, 2011, request by Indiana to revise the SIP to update 326 IAC 4–1, Open Burning Rule, because reducing open burning will reduce PM, volatile organic compounds, and other pollutants. EPA is approving this rule for attainment counties and is taking no action on the rule for Clark, Floyd, Lake and Porter counties which are nonattainment or maintenance areas for O3 or PM. We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse written comments are filed. This rule will be effective November 17, 2014 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written comments by October 17, 2014. If we receive such comments, we will withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 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. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective November 17, 2014. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES IV. 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 Clean Air 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: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:27 Sep 16, 2014 Jkt 232001 • 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, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 November 17, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

I. What is the background for this action?

Open burning is generally prohibited in the state of Indiana.
Indiana state law exempts certain open burning activities under
conditions that minimize the impact on the air quality and public
health. Open burning activities allowed include: maintenance burning,
recreational or ceremonial fires, farm burning, waste oil burning,
prescribed used to facilitate the growth of desired vegetation, and
residential burning.
Indiana's open burning rule at 326 IAC 4-1 [formerly Air Pollution
Code-2, (APC-2)] applies state-wide and was first approved on June 22,
1978 (43 FR 26722), and re-codified on July 16, 1982 (47 FR 30972). On
February 1, 1996 (61 FR 3581), EPA approved a ban on residential open
burning for Clark, Floyd, Lake and Porter counties to reduce VOC
emissions as part of Indiana's fifteen (15) percent rate of progress
plan for the 1-hour O3 standard. This ban on residential
open burning remains a permanent and enforceable control measure in the
state's O3 SIP.
On November 14, 2011, the Indiana Department of Environmental
Management (IDEM) submitted a request to EPA to revise 326 IAC 4-1.
IDEM published several newspaper notices (March 31, 2011, June 25,
2011) informing the public of the revisions to 326 IAC 4-1-3 and 326
IAC 4-1-4. IDEM held a public hearing on these revisions on August 3,
2011. There were no comments received. IDEM's November 14, 2011,
submittal also included certification that adoption of the revisions at
326 IAC 4-1-0.5, 326 IAC 4-1-1, 326 IAC 4-1-2, 326 IAC 4-1-3, 326 IAC
4-1-4, 326 IAC 4-1-4.1, 326 IAC 4-1-4.2, and 326 IAC 4-1-4.3, had been
preceded by adequate notice and public hearing.

II. Discussion of State Submittal

Below is a discussion of Indiana's rule, including an
identification of any significant changes from the previously approved
SIP.

4-1-0.5 Definitions

This section defines several terms, including a revised definition
of ``open burn.'' IDEM consolidated the definition of the terms from
326 IAC 4-1, ``open burning'' and ``open'' into one definition at 326
IAC 4-1-0.5(6), ``open burn.'' The term ``open burn'' means, the
burning of any materials wherein air contaminants resulting from
combustion are emitted directly into the air, without passing through a
stack or chimney from an enclosed chamber. This revision provides
clarity to the definition of ``open burn'' and is approvable into the
Indiana SIP.

4-1-1 Scope

This section describes the rule's applicability. The applicability
remains consistent with the existing SIP and continues to apply to all
open burning state-wide.
Because the revisions to this section are administrative and non-
substantive, EPA finds 326 IAC 4-1-1 remains consistent with the
approved SIP, and therefore, are approvable into Indiana's SIP.

4-1-2 Prohibition Against Open Burning

This section prohibits open burning of any material not exempt, or
authorized, unless approval has been granted by the Commissioner or the
Commissioner's designated agent. There were no substantive changes to
this section of the rule. The revision reflects a wording change. The
language in the SIP reads, ``No person shall open burn any material
except as provided in section 3 or 4.'' Indiana's revised the language
now reads, ``Open burning is prohibited except as allowed in this
rule.''
The revision to this section requires a person or entity subject
this rule to comply with the entire rule and not just certain sections.
Thus, EPA finds the revision to the rule to be consistent with the
approved SIP and is approvable into Indiana's SIP.

4-1-3 Exemptions

In the approved SIP, section 3 of 326 IAC 4-1 identifies those
exemptions for certain open burning activities under conditions that
minimize the impact on air quality and public health.
In section (3)(a)(1) Indiana identifies exemptions in the rule for
open burning for maintenance purposes. This exemption allows open
burning of the following: (1) Vegetation from farms, cemeteries,
drainage ditches and agricultural land, if the burn occurs in an
unincorporated area; (2) wood products from pruning or clearing a
roadside by a county highway department and the initial clearing of a
public utility right-of-way if in an unincorporated area; (3)
undesirable wood structures or remnants; and (4) clean petroleum
products for maintaining or for repairing railroad tracks, but not
including railroad ties. Section (3)(a)(2) applies certain restrictions
to open burning, for maintenance purposes, that is allowed by this
rule. These include: Extinguishing the fire if it creates a nuisance or
a fire hazard; all fires must be attended at all times during burning
until completely extinguished; no burning during unfavorable
meteorological conditions; removal of all asbestos-containing material
before burning of a structure. The language in

[[Page 55643]]

this section (3)(a) remains consistent with the existing SIP.
Section (3)(b) specifies certain conditions that apply to any fires
allowed by this rule in section (3)(c). The language in this section
(3)(b) remains consistent with the existing SIP.
Section (3)(c) allows the following types of fires: Recreational
and ceremonial fires; private residential burning; and waste oil
burning. IDEM added criteria that would allow the burning of two single
family, non-demolished dwellings per calendar year by municipal fire
departments for the purposes of live fire training subject to certain
conditions, including written notification to IDEM and the removal of
material that would otherwise result in toxic air emissions; and the
ceremonial burning of United States flags. These additional exemptions
are subject to both the conditions in section (3)(b) and more specific
conditions associated with each exemption to limit open burning
emissions.
The revisions to section 3 of 326 IAC are not anticipated to
increase the amount or frequency of open burning occurring in Indiana,
and therefore, are approvable into the Indiana SIP.

4-1-4 Emergency Burning

IDEM revised section 4 renaming it ``Emergency burning''. The SIP
approved language in section 4 of 326 IAC 4-1 identified certain types
of open burning not exempt by the rule that would require a person(s)
to obtain prior approval before open burning by the Air Pollution
Control Board (APCB) or its designated agent. Among the list of open
burnings that IDEM would consider granting approval included emergency
burnings. The revisions address the administrative function associated
with open burning approvals in the event of an emergency. IDEM revised
the rule for emergency burning to require written approval by the
Commissioner. Emergency burnings may be authorized for spilled
petroleum products and clean wood waste, vegetation or deceased animals
under certain conditions.
This revision serves to help clarify language in the rule regarding
the approval process for emergency burning. Thus, EPA finds the
revision to the rule to be consistent with the approved SIP when open
burning for emergency purposes, and is approvable into the Indiana SIP.

4-1-4.1 to 4-1-4.3 Open Burning Approval Process

The open burning ``approval process'' is contained in sections 4-1-
4.1 thru 4-1-4.3. The approval process is designed to simplify the
relevant steps for a person(s) or an entity to submit a request to open
burn or obtain a variance from the Commissioner or the Commissioner's
designated agent, similar to requests for approvals for emergency
burning, as noted above in section 4.
Below is a discussion of the various parts of Indiana's open
burning approval process.

4-1-4.1 Open Burning Approval; Criteria and Conditions

Section 4.1(a)--Burning not exempted by Section 3 or 4 of this rule
may be authorized by the issuance of an approval by the Commissioner or
the Commissioner's designated agent, after consideration of an approval
application, for fire training, burning of natural growth derived from
a clearing operation and burning of highly explosive or dangerous
materials for which no alternative disposal method exists, burning of
clean wood products and natural growth.
Section 4.1(b) specifies the criteria that may be considered for
approval for open burning, including: A demonstration that alternative
methods of disposal are impractical; there are not more than five
residences within 500 feet of the proposed burning site; there have
been no open burning violations at the site of the proposed burning or
the applicant; the burning site is located in a county not designated
as a nonattainment area for PM10 (particles that are 10
micrometers in diameter or smaller) or O3 and is not located
in Clark or Floyd County.
Section 4.1(c) prohibits approval of residential burning in Clark,
Floyd, Lake or Porter County.
Section 4.1(d) provides the conditions that any approval for open
burning may be subject to, including: Only clean wood products shall be
burned; no asbestos-containing material shall be burned; no burning
shall be conducted during unfavorable meteorological conditions; and
burning shall be conducted during daylight hours only.
Section 4.1(e) specifies that an approval letter for open burning
shall be valid for no longer than one year from the date of issuance.
However, an approval letter for open burning may be valid for as long
as five years, if the approval application is accompanied by an open
burning plan which must contain a description of the open burning
proposed.
Section 4.1(f) states that the Commissioner may add conditions to
an approval letter, as necessary, to prevent a public nuisance or to
protect public health. Such conditions may be based on local air
quality conditions, including whether the area is a nonattainment
county as defined in 326 IAC 1-4-1 or has been redesignated from
nonattainment to attainment status.

4-1-4.2 Open Burning; Approval Revocation

As a part of the approval process, this section allows the
Commissioner to revoke an approval letter for open burning if the
applicant violates any requirement of Section 4.1(d) or 4.1(f) or
falsifies any information on an application for an approval.

4-1-4.3 Open Burning Approval; Delegation of Authority

This section of the rule states that the Commissioner may delegate
the authority to issue approval letters for open burning to another
agency that has the necessary legal authority to implement an approval
program.
EPA finds the ``approval process'' outlined in 326 IAC 4-1-4.1 to
326 IAC 4-1-4.3 to be consistent with the approved SIP. The revisions
to the rule does not relax IDEM's review process, provides clarity, as
well as simplifies the administrative procedures necessary to obtain
approval or a variance to open burn.
EPA finds Indiana's open burning rule provides a state-wide
prohibition of open burning with reasonable exceptions. Open burning
not specifically exempt may be authorized by the Commissioner for
specific purposes, e.g., fire training or burning of highly explosive
materials, and based upon specified criteria, e.g. alternative methods
of disposal are not feasible and there are not more than five
residences within 500 feet of the proposed burning site. EPA will
recognize approvals for burning not specifically exempted by these
regulations authorized by the Commissioner or the Commissioner's
designated agent provided that a copy of the approval letter and
application be kept on file and made available to EPA upon request.
The revisions to 326 IAC 4-1 range from wording changes and
additions, improve and expand the applicability of the rule and its
impact on air quality statewide. EPA is approving this rule for
attainment counties and is taking no action on the rule for Clark,
Floyd, Lake and Porter counties which are nonattainment or maintenance
areas for O3 or PM. On balance, EPA finds that the rule
strengthens the existing SIP in Indiana and as such, deems the
submittal approvable.

[[Page 55644]]

III. What action is EPA taking today?

EPA is approving a November 14, 2011, request by Indiana to revise
the SIP to update 326 IAC 4-1, Open Burning Rule, because reducing open
burning will reduce PM, volatile organic compounds, and other
pollutants. EPA is approving this rule for attainment counties and is
taking no action on the rule for Clark, Floyd, Lake and Porter counties
which are nonattainment or maintenance areas for O3 or PM.
We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we view
this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective November 17,
2014 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written
comments by October 17, 2014. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action
should do so at this time. 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. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be
effective November 17, 2014.

IV. 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 Clean Air 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, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the 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 November 17, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed
rules section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
