SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
requests to redesignate to attainment the
Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York
nonattainment areas (hereafter ‘‘the
Areas’’) for the 1997 annual and 2006
24-hour fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS). EPA is also determining that
the Areas continue to attain the 1997
annual and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. EPA is also approving as
revisions to the Pennsylvania State
Implementation Plan (SIP) the
associated maintenance plans to show
maintenance of the 1997 annual and
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS through
2025 for the Areas. The maintenance
plans include the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5
and nitrogen oxides (NOX) mobile
vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for
the Areas for the 1997 annual and the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is
finding the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs adequate for transportation
conformity purposes and is finalizing
the approval of the budgets.
Furthermore, EPA is approving as
revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP the
2007 base year emissions inventory for
the Areas for the 1997 annual and the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
December 8, 2014.

I. Background
On October 17, 2014 (79 FR 62389),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that
included proposals for several
rulemaking actions. First, EPA proposed
to find that the Areas met the
requirements for redesignations from
nonattainment to attainment for the
1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS under section 107(d)(3)(E) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA). Second, EPA
proposed approval of the associated
maintenance plans for the Areas
submitted on April 22, 2014, as
revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP
because they meet the requirements of
section 175A of the CAA. Third, EPA
proposed approval of the 2007 base year
emissions inventory as meeting the
requirements of section 172(a)(3) of the
CAA. Fourth, EPA proposed approval of
the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and NOX
MVEBs submitted by Pennsylvania for
Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, and
York Counties for transportation
conformity purposes. Details of
Pennsylvania’s submittal and the
rationale for EPA’s proposed actions are
explained in the NPR and will not be
restated here. No public comments were
received on the NPR.
As stated in the NPR, EPA’s proposed
approvals were contingent upon the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia (D.C. Circuit Court) granting
EPA’s June 26, 2014 motion to lift the
stay of the Cross State Air Pollution
Rule (CSAPR). Following a favorable
decision from the Supreme Court on
April 29, 2014, EPA v. EME Homer City
Generation, L.P., 134 S. Ct. 1584 (2014),
EPA filed a motion asking the D.C.
Circuit Court to lift the stay and toll all
deadlines in CSAPR by three years, and
on October 23, 2014, the D.C. Circuit
Court granted EPA’s motion. EME

Sfmt 4700
11–1302 (D.C. Cir. Oct. 23, 2014), ECF
No. 1518738 at 3.
EPA plans to take administrative
action to amend the regulatory text of
CSAPR to reflect the D.C. Circuit Court’s
October 23, 2014 order tolling all
deadlines in CSAPR by three years,
including provisions governing the
sunsetting of the Clean Air Interstate
Rule (CAIR). CAIR will therefore sunset
at the end of 2014 and be replaced by
CSAPR beginning January 1, 2015.
Relative to CAIR, CSAPR requires
similar or greater emission reductions
from relevant upwind areas starting in
2015 and beyond. The emission
reductions associated with CAIR that
helped the Areas achieve attainment of
the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS can therefore be considered
permanent and enforceable for purposes
of redesignation under section
107(d)(3)(E)(iii) of the CAA.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving the redesignation of
the Areas from nonattainment to
attainment for the 1997 annual and the
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA has
evaluated Pennsylvania’s redesignation
requests and determines that the Areas
meet the redesignation criteria set forth
in section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. EPA
finds that the monitoring data
demonstrate that the Areas have
attained the 1997 annual and the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA also finds
that the attainment of the Areas is in
part due to the emissions reductions
resulting from the implementation of
CAIR in Pennsylvania and in the states
upwind of Pennsylvania. As stated
previously, EPA intends to commence
implementation of CSPAR beginning on
January 1, 2015 and those emission
reductions originally required under
CAIR will be permanent and enforceable
through the implementation of CSAPR.
EPA is determining that the Areas
continue to attain the 1997 annual and
the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Final
approval of these redesignation requests
would change the designation of: (a)
Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and York
Areas from nonattainment to attainment
for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and
(b) Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York
Area from nonattainment to attainment
for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.
EPA is also approving the associated
maintenance plans for the Areas
submitted on April 22, 2014, as
revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP
because they meet the requirements of
section 175A of the CAA. In addition,
E:\FR\FM\08DER1.SGM
08DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 235 / Monday, December 8, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
EPA is approving the 2007 base year
emissions inventory as meeting the
requirement of section 172(a)(3) of the
CAA. Furthermore, in this rulemaking
action, EPA finds adequate and is
approving the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs submitted by Pennsylvania
for Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, and
York Counties for transportation
conformity purposes. Within 24 months
from the effective date of EPA’s
adequacy determination, the
transportation partners will need to
demonstrate conformity to the 2017 and
2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs pursuant to
40 CFR 93.104(e).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
EPA finds there is good cause for this
action to become effective immediately
upon publication. A delayed effective
date is unnecessary due to the nature of
a redesignation to attainment, which
eliminates CAA obligations that would
otherwise apply. The immediate
effective date for this action is
authorized under both 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(1), which provides that
rulemaking actions may become
effective less than 30 days after
publication if the rule ‘‘grants or
recognizes an exemption or relieves a
restriction,’’ and section 553(d)(3),
which allows an effective date less than
30 days after publication ‘‘as otherwise
provided by the agency for good cause
found and published with the rule.’’
The purpose of the 30-day waiting
period prescribed in section 553(d) is to
give affected parties a reasonable time to
adjust their behavior and prepare before
the final rule takes effect. Today’s rule,
however, does not create any new
regulatory requirements such that
affected parties would need time to
prepare before the rule takes effect.
Rather, today’s rule relieves the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of the
obligation to comply with
nonattainment-related planning
requirements for the Areas pursuant to
Part D of the CAA and approves certain
emissions inventories and MVEBs for
the Areas. For these reasons, EPA finds
good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d) for
this action to become effective on the
date of publication of this notice.

III. Statutory and Executive Order
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, redesignation of an
area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of the
maintenance plan under CAA section
107(d)(3)(E) are actions that affect the
status of geographical area and do not
impose any additional regulatory
requirements on sources beyond those
required by state law. A redesignation to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:55 Dec 05, 2014
Jkt 235001
attainment does not in and of itself
impose any new requirements, but
rather results in the application of
requirements contained in the CAA for
areas that have been redesignated to
attainment. Moreover, 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 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 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.
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by February 6, 2015. 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 approving Pennsylvania’s
redesignation requests, maintenance
plans, 2007 base year emissions
inventory, and MVEBs for
transportation conformity purposes for
the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and
York Areas for the 1997 annual PM2.5
NAAQS and the Harrisburg-LebanonCarlisle-York Area for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, may not be challenged
later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

species complexes in the Gulf. This rule
clarifies that the established commercial
quotas are equal to the commercial
ACTs and adds commercial ACLs to the
regulations for three IFQ species
complexes: Other shallow-water grouper
(Other SWG), deep-water grouper
(DWG), and tilefishes. The purpose of
this rule is to optimize allowable
harvest of IFQ species in the Gulf, while
preventing overfishing, in accordance
with National Standard 1 of the
Magnuson-Stevens Fishery
Conservation and Management Act
(Magnuson-Stevens Act).
DATES: This rule is effective January 7,

DWG, and tilefishes, under the Reef
Fish FMP. Other SWG includes black
grouper, scamp, yellowmouth grouper,
yellowfin grouper; DWG includes
warsaw grouper, snowy grouper,
speckled hind, yellowedge grouper; and
tilefishes include golden tilefish,
blueline tilefish, and goldface tilefish.
The Reef Fish FMP is implemented
under the authority of the MagnusonStevens Act by regulations at 50 CFR
part 622. All weights specified in this
rule are in gutted weight.
On October 1, 2014, NMFS published
a proposed rule for this framework
action and requested public comment
(79 FR 59204). The proposed rule and
framework action outline the rationale
for the actions contained in this final
rule. This final rule clarifies that the
commercial quotas for the Other SWG,
DWG, and tilefishes complexes are
equal to the commercial ACTs specified
in the Generic Annual Catch Limit/
Accountability Measures Amendment
(Generic ACL Amendment) and adds
commercial ACLs to the regulations for
these same three complexes. This final
rule also removes outdated quotas for
these species complexes.
Comments and Responses
NMFS received one comment letter
on the proposed rule from a commercial
fishing organization. The comment and
NMFS’ response is summarized below.
Comment: The commercial quotas
should be set equivalent to the ACL, not
the ACT, because they are managed
under a highly functioning and certain
IFQ program. The present commercial
IFQ program for SWG, DWG, and
tilefish demonstrates that management
uncertainty is effectively zero and
therefore setting the commercial quota
for these species complexes at their
ACLs rather than their ACTs is justified.
Response: NMFS disagrees that the
commercial quotas for IFQ species
complexes should be set equal to the
ACLs and not the ACTs. At the June
Council meeting, the Council voted to
use the ACL/ACT control rule adopted
in the Generic ACL Amendment and
retain the 4 percent buffer between the
ACL and ACT for species in the IFQ
program. Using the ACL/ACT control
rule results in a recommended 4 percent
buffer because of the uncertainty in
managing stock complexes. While the
aggregate quota is unlikely to be
exceeded in an IFQ program, there is
less control over the individual stocks
within the aggregate. The Other SWG
complex and DWG complex each
consist of four stocks, and the tilefish
complex consists of three stocks. If the
proportion of each stock that makes up
the landings changes, it may be possible
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
to overfish a single stock within the
complex even when the aggregate quota
is not exceeded.
Classification
The Regional Administrator,
Southeast Region, NMFS, has
determined that this final rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of Gulf reef fish and is
consistent with the framework action,
the FMP, the Magnuson-Stevens Act
and other applicable law.
This final rule has been determined to
be not significant for purposes of
Executive Order 12866.
The Chief Counsel for Regulation of
the Department of Commerce certified
to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the
Small Business Administration during
the proposed rule stage that this action
would not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities. The factual basis for this
certification was published in the
proposed rule and is not repeated here.
NMFS received one comment on the
proposed rule concerning the decision
to keep the commercial quota at the
commercial ACT level, which does not
affect the current level of landings.
Therefore, the basis for the certification
that this final rule would not have any
impact on small entities has not
changed. Accordingly, a regulatory
flexibility analysis was not required and
none was prepared.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Redesignation of the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York
Nonattainment Areas to Attainment for the 1997 Annual and the 2006 24-
Hour Fine Particulate Matter Standard
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's requests to redesignate to attainment
the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York nonattainment areas (hereafter
``the Areas'') for the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour fine particulate
matter (PM2.5) national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS). EPA is also determining that the Areas continue to attain the
1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is also
approving as revisions to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan
(SIP) the associated maintenance plans to show maintenance of the 1997
annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS through 2025 for the
Areas. The maintenance plans include the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5
and nitrogen oxides (NOX) mobile vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) for the Areas for the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is finding the 2017 and 2025
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs adequate for transportation
conformity purposes and is finalizing the approval of the budgets.
Furthermore, EPA is approving as revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP the
2007 base year emissions inventory for the Areas for the 1997 annual
and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.
DATES: This final rule is effective on December 8, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On October 17, 2014 (79 FR 62389), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that
included proposals for several rulemaking actions. First, EPA proposed
to find that the Areas met the requirements for redesignations from
nonattainment to attainment for the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS under section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA). Second, EPA proposed approval of the associated maintenance
plans for the Areas submitted on April 22, 2014, as revisions to the
Pennsylvania SIP because they meet the requirements of section 175A of
the CAA. Third, EPA proposed approval of the 2007 base year emissions
inventory as meeting the requirements of section 172(a)(3) of the CAA.
Fourth, EPA proposed approval of the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs submitted by Pennsylvania for Cumberland, Dauphin,
Lebanon, and York Counties for transportation conformity purposes.
Details of Pennsylvania's submittal and the rationale for EPA's
proposed actions are explained in the NPR and will not be restated
here. No public comments were received on the NPR.
As stated in the NPR, EPA's proposed approvals were contingent upon
the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (D.C. Circuit
Court) granting EPA's June 26, 2014 motion to lift the stay of the
Cross State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR). Following a favorable decision
from the Supreme Court on April 29, 2014, EPA v. EME Homer City
Generation, L.P., 134 S. Ct. 1584 (2014), EPA filed a motion asking the
D.C. Circuit Court to lift the stay and toll all deadlines in CSAPR by
three years, and on October 23, 2014, the D.C. Circuit Court granted
EPA's motion. EME Homer City Generation, L.P. v. EPA, No. 11-1302 (D.C.
Cir. Oct. 23, 2014), ECF No. 1518738 at 3.
EPA plans to take administrative action to amend the regulatory
text of CSAPR to reflect the D.C. Circuit Court's October 23, 2014
order tolling all deadlines in CSAPR by three years, including
provisions governing the sunsetting of the Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR). CAIR will therefore sunset at the end of 2014 and be replaced
by CSAPR beginning January 1, 2015. Relative to CAIR, CSAPR requires
similar or greater emission reductions from relevant upwind areas
starting in 2015 and beyond. The emission reductions associated with
CAIR that helped the Areas achieve attainment of the 1997 annual and
2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS can therefore be considered
permanent and enforceable for purposes of redesignation under section
107(d)(3)(E)(iii) of the CAA.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving the redesignation of the Areas from nonattainment
to attainment for the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. EPA has evaluated Pennsylvania's redesignation requests and
determines that the Areas meet the redesignation criteria set forth in
section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. EPA finds that the monitoring data
demonstrate that the Areas have attained the 1997 annual and the 2006
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA also finds that the attainment of
the Areas is in part due to the emissions reductions resulting from the
implementation of CAIR in Pennsylvania and in the states upwind of
Pennsylvania. As stated previously, EPA intends to commence
implementation of CSPAR beginning on January 1, 2015 and those emission
reductions originally required under CAIR will be permanent and
enforceable through the implementation of CSAPR. EPA is determining
that the Areas continue to attain the 1997 annual and the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. Final approval of these redesignation requests
would change the designation of: (a) Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle and
York Areas from nonattainment to attainment for the 1997 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS, and (b) Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York Area
from nonattainment to attainment for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. EPA is also approving the associated maintenance plans for the
Areas submitted on April 22, 2014, as revisions to the Pennsylvania SIP
because they meet the requirements of section 175A of the CAA. In
addition,
[[Page 72553]]
EPA is approving the 2007 base year emissions inventory as meeting the
requirement of section 172(a)(3) of the CAA. Furthermore, in this
rulemaking action, EPA finds adequate and is approving the 2017 and
2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs submitted by
Pennsylvania for Cumberland, Dauphin, Lebanon, and York Counties for
transportation conformity purposes. Within 24 months from the effective
date of EPA's adequacy determination, the transportation partners will
need to demonstrate conformity to the 2017 and 2025 PM2.5
and NOX MVEBs pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), EPA finds there is good cause
for this action to become effective immediately upon publication. A
delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the nature of a
redesignation to attainment, which eliminates CAA obligations that
would otherwise apply. The immediate effective date for this action is
authorized under both 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1), which provides that
rulemaking actions may become effective less than 30 days after
publication if the rule ``grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves
a restriction,'' and section 553(d)(3), which allows an effective date
less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise provided by the
agency for good cause found and published with the rule.'' The purpose
of the 30-day waiting period prescribed in section 553(d) is to give
affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare
before the final rule takes effect. Today's rule, however, does not
create any new regulatory requirements such that affected parties would
need time to prepare before the rule takes effect. Rather, today's rule
relieves the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of the obligation to comply
with nonattainment-related planning requirements for the Areas pursuant
to Part D of the CAA and approves certain emissions inventories and
MVEBs for the Areas. For these reasons, EPA finds good cause under 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for this action to become effective on the date of
publication of this notice.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to attainment and the
accompanying approval of the maintenance plan under CAA section
107(d)(3)(E) are actions that affect the status of geographical area
and do not impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources
beyond those required by state law. A redesignation to attainment does
not in and of itself impose any new requirements, but rather results in
the application of requirements contained in the CAA for areas that
have been redesignated to attainment. Moreover, 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 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 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.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 6, 2015. 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 approving Pennsylvania's redesignation requests,
maintenance plans, 2007 base year emissions inventory, and MVEBs for
transportation conformity purposes for the Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle
and York Areas for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS and the
Harrisburg-Lebanon-Carlisle-York Area for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
