Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
Accordingly, the Board is adopting
the June 2014 proposed rule as final
without change.
III. Regulatory Procedures
A. Regulatory Flexibility Act
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 4
requires NCUA to prepare an analysis to
describe any significant economic
impact a rule may have on a substantial
number of small entities (defined for
purposes of the RFA to include credit
unions with assets less than $50
million).5 The amendments to parts 701
and 722 will only reduce regulatory
impacts on credit unions by exempting
them from certain regulatory
requirements. Accordingly, the Board
certifies the final rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small credit
unions.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) applies to rulemakings in which
an agency by rule creates a new
paperwork burden on regulated entities
or increases an existing burden.6 For
purposes of the PRA, a paperwork
burden may take the form of a reporting
or recordkeeping requirement, both
referred to as information collections.
This final rule would not impose or
expand upon any existing reporting or
recordkeeping requirements.
Accordingly, this final rule would not
create new paperwork burdens or
increase any existing paperwork
burdens.

C. Executive Order 13132
Executive Order 13132 encourages
independent regulatory agencies to
consider the impact of their actions on
state and local interests. NCUA, an
independent regulatory agency, as
defined in 44 U.S.C. 3502(5), voluntarily
complies with the executive order to
adhere to fundamental federalism
principles. The final rule would not
have substantial direct effects on the
states, on the relationship between the
national government and the states, or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. NCUA has,
therefore, determined that this final rule
does not constitute a policy that has
federalism implications for purposes of
the executive order.

5 78 FR 4032 (Jan. 18, 2013).
6 44 U.S.C. 3507(d); 5 CFR part 1320.
D. Assessment of Federal Regulations
and Policies on Families
NCUA has determined that this final
rule will not affect family well-being
within the meaning of § 654 of the
Treasury and General Government
Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law
105–277, 112 Stat. 2681 (1998).
E. Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act
The Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 7
(SBREFA) provides generally for
congressional review of agency rules. A
reporting requirement is triggered in
instances where NCUA issues a final
rule as defined by Section 551 of the
Administrative Procedure Act.8 NCUA
does not believe this final rule is a
‘‘major rule’’ within the meaning of the
relevant sections of SBREFA because it
will only reduce regulatory burden on
credit unions by exempting them from
certain regulatory requirements. NCUA
has submitted the rule to the Office of
Management and Budget for its
determination in that regard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What is the background for the
actions?
On September 14, 2012, the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources,
through GA EPD, submitted a request to
EPA for redesignation of the Georgia
portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area
to attainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS, and for approval of a Georgia
SIP revision containing a maintenance
plan for the Area.1 On November 12,
2014, EPA proposed to redesignate the
Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GAAL Area to attainment for the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and to approve,
as a revision to the Georgia SIP, the
State’s 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
maintenance plan, including the MVEBs
for direct PM2.5 and NOx, for the Georgia
portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area.2 See 79 FR 67120. EPA also
proposed to determine that the
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area is
continuing to attain the 1997 Annual
PM2.5 NAAQS and that attainment can
be maintained through 2025. EPA
received no adverse comments on the
November 12, 2014, proposed
rulemaking. EPA notes that it
inadvertently referred to the Area as the
‘‘Chattanooga, TN-GA Area’’ in the
November 12, 2014, proposed
rulemaking. In today’s final rulemaking,
EPA is clarifying this Area should have
been referred to as the ‘‘Chattanooga,
TN-GA-AL Area’’ to account for a
correction for the name of this Area that
was published in the Federal Register
on May 5, 2014, at 79 FR 25508.
In its November 12, 2014, proposed
action, EPA stated that the adequacy
public comment period on the 2025
NOX and PM2.5 MVEBs for the Georgia
portion of the Area (as contained in
Georgia’s September 14, 2012,
submittal) began on March 4, 2013, and
1 EPA designated the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area as nonattainment for the annual 1997 PM2.5
NAAQS on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 944) as
supplemented on April 14, 2005 (70 FR 19844).
2 On February 8, 2012, EPA approved, under
section 172(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act),
Georgia’s 2002 base-year emissions inventory for
the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area as part of the SIP
revision submitted by GA EPD to provide for
attainment of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS in the Area.
See 77 FR 6467.

closed on April 3, 2013. No comments
were received during this public
comment period, and therefore, EPA
deems the 2025 NOX and PM2.5 MVEBs
adequate for the Georgia portion of the
Area for the purposes of transportation
conformity.
As stated in EPA’s November 12,
2014, proposal notice, the 3-year design
value of 12.9 micrograms per cubic
meter (mg/m3) for the Area for 2007–
2009 meets the PM2.5 Annual NAAQS of
15.0 mg/m3. EPA has reviewed the most
recent ambient monitoring data, which
confirms that the Area continues to
attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
beyond the 3-year attainment period of
2007–2009.
II. What are the actions EPA is taking?
In today’s rulemaking, EPA is also
approving Georgia’s redesignation
request to change the legal designation
of Catoosa and Walker Counties in
Georgia from nonattainment to
attainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS, and as a revision to the Georgia
SIP, the State’s 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS maintenance plan and the
MVEBs for direct PM2.5 and NOX for the
Georgia portion of the Area included in
that maintenance plan. The
maintenance plan is designed to
demonstrate that the Chattanooga TNGA-AL Area will continue to attain the
1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS through
2025. EPA’s approval of the
redesignation request is based on EPA’s
determination that the Georgia portion
of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area meets
the criteria for redesignation set forth in
the CAA, including EPA’s
determination that the Chattanooga TNGA-AL Area has attained and continues
to attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
and that attainment can be maintained
through 2025. EPA’s analyses of
Georgia’s redesignation request and
maintenance plan are described in
detail in the November 12, 2014,
proposed rule. See 79 67120. Through
this final action, EPA is finding the 2025
NOX and PM2.5 MVEBs adequate for the
Georgia portion of the Area for
transportation conformity purposes.
EPA is now taking final action as
described above. Additional background
for today’s action is set forth in EPA’s
November 12, 2014, proposal and is
summarized below.
EPA has reviewed the most recent
ambient monitoring data for the Area,
which indicate that the Chattanooga TNGA-AL Area continues to attain the
1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS beyond the
submitted 3-year attainment period of
2007–2009. As stated in EPA’s
November 12, 2014, proposal notice, the
3-year design value of 12.9 mg/m3 for the
E:\FR\FM\19DER1.SGM
19DER1
75750
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
Area for 2007–2009 meets the NAAQS
of 15.0 mg/m3. Quality assured and
certified data in EPA’s Air Quality
System (AQS) for 2013 provide a 3-year
design value of 10.5 mg/m3 for the Area
for 2011–2013. Furthermore,
preliminary monitoring data for 2014
indicate that the Area is continuing to
attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
The 2014 preliminary data are available
in AQS although the data are not yet
quality assured and certified.
III. Why is EPA taking these actions?
EPA has determined that the
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has
attained the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
and has also determined that all other
criteria for the redesignation of the
Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GAAL Area from nonattainment to
attainment of the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS have been met. See CAA
section 107(d)(3)(E). One of those
requirements is that the Georgia portion
of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has an
approved plan demonstrating
maintenance of the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS over the ten-year period
following redesignation. EPA has
determined that attainment can be
maintained through 2025 and is taking
final action to approve the maintenance
plan for the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area as meeting
the requirements of sections 175A and
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. The detailed
rationale for EPA’s findings and actions
is set forth in the November 12, 2014,
proposed rulemaking. See 79 FR 67120.

IV. What are the effects of these
actions?
Approval of the redesignation request
changes the legal designation of Catoosa
and Walker Counties from
nonattainment to attainment for the
1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is
modifying the regulatory table in 40
CFR 81.311 to reflect a designation of
attainment for these counties. EPA is
also approving, as a revision to the
Georgia SIP, the State’s plan for
maintaining the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS in the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area. The maintenance plan includes
contingency measures to remedy
possible future violations of the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS and establishes
2025 MVEBs for direct PM2.5 and NOX
for the Georgia portion of Chattanooga
TN-GA-AL Area. Within 24 months of
the effective date of EPA’s approval of
the maintenance plan, the
transportation partners will need to
demonstrate conformity to the new
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs pursuant to 40
CFR 93.104(e).

V. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to approve
the redesignation and change the legal
designation of Catoosa and Walker
Counties in Georgia from nonattainment
to attainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5
NAAQS. Through this action, EPA is
also approving into the Georgia SIP the
1997 Annual PM2.5 maintenance plan
for the Georgia portion of the
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area, which
includes the new 2025 PM2.5 and NOX
MVEBs of 44.2 tons per year (tpy) and
1,386.5 tpy, respectively, for this Area.
EPA’s approval of the redesignation
request is based on the Agency’s
determination that the Georgia portion
of the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area
meets the criteria for redesignation set
forth in CAA, including EPA’s
determination that the Chattanooga TNGA-AL Area has attained and continues
to attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
and that attainment can be maintained
through 2025. Finally, EPA is finding
the 2025 PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs
contained in Georgia’s September 14,
2012, SIP revision adequate for the
purposes of transportation conformity.
Within 24 months from this final rule,
the transportation partners will need to
demonstrate conformity to the new NOX
and VOC MVEBs pursuant to 40 CFR
93.104(e).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d),
EPA finds that there is good cause for
this action to become effective
immediately upon publication. This is
because a delayed effective date is
unnecessary due to the nature of a
redesignation to attainment, which
relieves the Area from certain CAA
requirements that would otherwise
apply to it. 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 State of
various requirements for the Georgia
portion of the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area. For these reasons, EPA finds good
PO 00000
Frm 00016
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for this
action to become effective on the date of
publication of this action.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
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 these
reasons, these actions:
• Are not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• Do not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Are 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.);
• Do 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);
• Do not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Are not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Are not significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Are 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
E:\FR\FM\19DER1.SGM
19DER1
75751
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 244 / Friday, December 19, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and,
• Do 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, the SIP is not approved to
apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by February 17, 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 may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Executive Summary
container that is intended solely for
export. According to stakeholders, the
inability to use the labeling method
allowed before the regulations were
amended in 2013 could significantly
increase their costs and create trade
barriers.
40 CFR Part 168
A. Does this action affect me?
II. Background
You may be potentially affected by
this action if you export a pesticide
product, a pesticide device, or an active
ingredient used in producing a
pesticide. The following list of North
American Industrial Classification
System (NAICS) codes is not intended
to be exhaustive, but rather provides a
guide to help readers determine whether
this document applies to them.
Potentially affected entities may
include, but are not limited to: Pesticide
and other agricultural chemical
manufacturing (NAICS code 325320),
e.g., Pesticides manufacturing,
Insecticides manufacturing, Herbicides
manufacturing, Fungicides
manufacturing, etc.
In the Federal Register of January 18,
2013 (78 FR 4073) (FRL–9360–8), EPA
published a final rule to revise its export
label regulations, in 40 CFR part 168,
subpart D, concerning the labeling of
pesticide products and devices intended
solely for export. The revisions were
effective on March 19, 2013, with a
compliance date of January 21, 2014.
Industry stakeholders subsequently
expressed concern to EPA that certain
labeling provisions allowing the use of
‘‘supplemental labeling’’ had been
removed from this subpart, and that the
inability of registrants to use the
labeling method allowed in the previous
regulations could create trade barriers
and increase costs. EPA agreed and in
the Federal Register of April 30, 2014
(79 FR 24347) (FRL–9909–82),
published a direct final rule to replace
the provision that was inadvertently
removed. Since EPA received written
adverse comment on the direct final
rule, EPA withdrew that direct final rule
in the Federal Register of July 11, 2014
(79 FR 39975) (FRL–9913–18) and in the
same Federal Register issue published a
proposed rule (79 FR 40040) (FRL–
9913–19) seeking to make the same
changes.
In the proposed rule entitled
‘‘Labeling of Pesticide Products and
Devices for Export; Clarification of
Requirements,’’ EPA proposed to restore
the inadvertently eliminated provisions
that allowed exporters to use such
‘‘collateral labeling’’ attached to, or
accompanying, the product shipping
container of the export pesticide at all
times when shipped or held for
shipment in the United States. (As EPA
explained in the direct final rule, the
term ‘‘collateral labeling’’ is more
appropriate than ‘‘supplemental
labeling’’ to describe the materials other
than labels that are acceptable for
meeting these requirements.)
Additionally, the document proposed to
restructure 40 CFR part 168, subpart D,
by moving the text in § 168.68 and some
of the text in § 168.66 to new § 168.65.
The public comment period closed on
August 11, 2014. EPA received four
comments. Three commenters stated
their support for finalizing the proposal.
Another commenter stated that

ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 14, 2012, the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources, through the Georgia Environmental Protection Division (GA
[[Page 75749]]
EPD), submitted a request to redesignate the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga, TN-GA-AL fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
nonattainment area (hereafter referred to as the ``Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area'' or ``Area'') to attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and to approve a state
implementation plan (SIP) revision containing a maintenance plan for
the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. The Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-
GA-AL Area is comprised of two Counties: Catoosa and Walker Counties in
Georgia. EPA is approving the redesignation request and the related SIP
revision for the Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area,
including GA EPD's plan for maintaining attainment of the 1997 Annual
PM2.5 standard in the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. EPA is also
approving, into the Georgia SIP, the motor vehicle emission budgets
(MVEBs) for nitrogen oxides (NOx) and PM2.5 for
the year 2025 for the Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. On
April 23, 2013, and November 13, 2014, Alabama and Tennessee
(respectively) submitted requests to redesignate the Alabama and
Tennessee portions of the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. EPA will be taking
separate action on the requests from Alabama and Tennessee.
DATES: This rule will be effective December 19, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What is the background for the actions?
On September 14, 2012, the Georgia Department of Natural Resources,
through GA EPD, submitted a request to EPA for redesignation of the
Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area to attainment for the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and for approval of a Georgia SIP
revision containing a maintenance plan for the Area.\1\ On November 12,
2014, EPA proposed to redesignate the Georgia portion of Chattanooga
TN-GA-AL Area to attainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS,
and to approve, as a revision to the Georgia SIP, the State's 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS maintenance plan, including the MVEBs for
direct PM2.5 and NOx, for the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area.\2\ See 79 FR 67120. EPA also proposed to
determine that the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area is continuing to attain
the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS and that attainment can be
maintained through 2025. EPA received no adverse comments on the
November 12, 2014, proposed rulemaking. EPA notes that it inadvertently
referred to the Area as the ``Chattanooga, TN-GA Area'' in the November
12, 2014, proposed rulemaking. In today's final rulemaking, EPA is
clarifying this Area should have been referred to as the ``Chattanooga,
TN-GA-AL Area'' to account for a correction for the name of this Area
that was published in the Federal Register on May 5, 2014, at 79 FR
25508.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA designated the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area as
nonattainment for the annual 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS on January
5, 2005 (70 FR 944) as supplemented on April 14, 2005 (70 FR 19844).
\2\ On February 8, 2012, EPA approved, under section 172(c)(3)
of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), Georgia's 2002 base-year
emissions inventory for the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area as part of the
SIP revision submitted by GA EPD to provide for attainment of the
1997 PM2.5 NAAQS in the Area. See 77 FR 6467.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In its November 12, 2014, proposed action, EPA stated that the
adequacy public comment period on the 2025 NOX and
PM2.5 MVEBs for the Georgia portion of the Area (as
contained in Georgia's September 14, 2012, submittal) began on March 4,
2013, and closed on April 3, 2013. No comments were received during
this public comment period, and therefore, EPA deems the 2025
NOX and PM2.5 MVEBs adequate for the Georgia
portion of the Area for the purposes of transportation conformity.
As stated in EPA's November 12, 2014, proposal notice, the 3-year
design value of 12.9 micrograms per cubic meter ([mu]g/m\3\) for the
Area for 2007-2009 meets the PM2.5 Annual NAAQS of 15.0
[mu]g/m\3\. EPA has reviewed the most recent ambient monitoring data,
which confirms that the Area continues to attain the 1997 Annual
PM2.5 NAAQS beyond the 3-year attainment period of 2007-
2009.
II. What are the actions EPA is taking?
In today's rulemaking, EPA is also approving Georgia's
redesignation request to change the legal designation of Catoosa and
Walker Counties in Georgia from nonattainment to attainment for the
1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and as a revision to the Georgia
SIP, the State's 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS maintenance plan
and the MVEBs for direct PM2.5 and NOX for the
Georgia portion of the Area included in that maintenance plan. The
maintenance plan is designed to demonstrate that the Chattanooga TN-GA-
AL Area will continue to attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
through 2025. EPA's approval of the redesignation request is based on
EPA's determination that the Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL
Area meets the criteria for redesignation set forth in the CAA,
including EPA's determination that the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has
attained and continues to attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS
and that attainment can be maintained through 2025. EPA's analyses of
Georgia's redesignation request and maintenance plan are described in
detail in the November 12, 2014, proposed rule. See 79 67120. Through
this final action, EPA is finding the 2025 NOX and
PM2.5 MVEBs adequate for the Georgia portion of the Area for
transportation conformity purposes.
EPA is now taking final action as described above. Additional
background for today's action is set forth in EPA's November 12, 2014,
proposal and is summarized below.
EPA has reviewed the most recent ambient monitoring data for the
Area, which indicate that the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area continues to
attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS beyond the submitted 3-
year attainment period of 2007-2009. As stated in EPA's November 12,
2014, proposal notice, the 3-year design value of 12.9 [mu]g/m\3\ for
the
[[Page 75750]]
Area for 2007-2009 meets the NAAQS of 15.0 [mu]g/m\3\. Quality assured
and certified data in EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) for 2013 provide a
3-year design value of 10.5 [mu]g/m\3\ for the Area for 2011-2013.
Furthermore, preliminary monitoring data for 2014 indicate that the
Area is continuing to attain the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
The 2014 preliminary data are available in AQS although the data are
not yet quality assured and certified.
III. Why is EPA taking these actions?
EPA has determined that the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has attained
the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS and has also determined that all
other criteria for the redesignation of the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area from nonattainment to attainment of the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS have been met. See CAA section
107(d)(3)(E). One of those requirements is that the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has an approved plan demonstrating
maintenance of the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS over the ten-year
period following redesignation. EPA has determined that attainment can
be maintained through 2025 and is taking final action to approve the
maintenance plan for the Georgia portion of Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area
as meeting the requirements of sections 175A and 107(d)(3)(E) of the
CAA. The detailed rationale for EPA's findings and actions is set forth
in the November 12, 2014, proposed rulemaking. See 79 FR 67120.
IV. What are the effects of these actions?
Approval of the redesignation request changes the legal designation
of Catoosa and Walker Counties from nonattainment to attainment for the
1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is modifying the regulatory
table in 40 CFR 81.311 to reflect a designation of attainment for these
counties. EPA is also approving, as a revision to the Georgia SIP, the
State's plan for maintaining the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS in
the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. The maintenance plan includes
contingency measures to remedy possible future violations of the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS and establishes 2025 MVEBs for direct
PM2.5 and NOX for the Georgia portion of
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area. Within 24 months of the effective date of
EPA's approval of the maintenance plan, the transportation partners
will need to demonstrate conformity to the new PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).
V. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to approve the redesignation and change
the legal designation of Catoosa and Walker Counties in Georgia from
nonattainment to attainment for the 1997 Annual PM2.5 NAAQS.
Through this action, EPA is also approving into the Georgia SIP the
1997 Annual PM2.5 maintenance plan for the Georgia portion
of the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area, which includes the new 2025
PM2.5 and NOX MVEBs of 44.2 tons per year (tpy)
and 1,386.5 tpy, respectively, for this Area. EPA's approval of the
redesignation request is based on the Agency's determination that the
Georgia portion of the Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area meets the criteria for
redesignation set forth in CAA, including EPA's determination that the
Chattanooga TN-GA-AL Area has attained and continues to attain the 1997
Annual PM2.5 NAAQS and that attainment can be maintained
through 2025. Finally, EPA is finding the 2025 PM2.5 and
NOX MVEBs contained in Georgia's September 14, 2012, SIP
revision adequate for the purposes of transportation conformity. Within
24 months from this final rule, the transportation partners will need
to demonstrate conformity to the new NOX and VOC MVEBs
pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).
In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), EPA finds that there is good
cause for this action to become effective immediately upon publication.
This is because a delayed effective date is unnecessary due to the
nature of a redesignation to attainment, which relieves the Area from
certain CAA requirements that would otherwise apply to it. 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 State
of various requirements for the Georgia portion of the Chattanooga TN-
GA-AL Area. For these reasons, EPA finds good cause under 5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3) for this action to become effective on the date of
publication of this action.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
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 these reasons, these actions:
Are not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
Do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Are 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.);
Do 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);
Do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Are not an economically significant regulatory action
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Are not significant regulatory action subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Are 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
[[Page 75751]]
application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA;
and,
Do 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, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the
rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 17, 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
