As per request by PADEP in a letter to EPA
dated June 27, 2014, the following language
appearing at paragraph b.1; subparagraph
b.3.A; and Subsections e and g, is excluded
from the SIP: ‘‘Additions, revisions, or deletions to such regulations by the Commonwealth are incorporated in this Subsection
and are effective on the date established by
the state regulation, unless otherwise established by regulation under this Article.’’
As per letter from PADEP dated 2/20/2013, the
June 25, 2012 SIP submission inadvertently
deleted language from the end of subsection
(f) of the regulation submitted with SIP submittal. The SIP revision incorporating Article
XXI § 2102.06(f) should read as follows ‘‘f.
Requirements for Modeling. Where air quality
models are used to meet the provisions of
this section, modeling shall be based on the
applicable models and other requirements
specified in 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix W
(Guideline on Air Quality Models). Where an
air quality model is inappropriate, the model
may be modified or another model may be
substituted only on a case-by-case basis at
the Department’s discretion upon written approval by the administrator of EPA. In addition, use of a modified or substituted model
must be subject to notice and opportunity for
public comment under procedures set forth in
40 CFR 51.102.’’

Final rule.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Montana. On
July 13, 2011, the Governor of
Montana’s designee submitted to EPA a
second 10-year maintenance plan for the
Billings area for the carbon monoxide
(CO) National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). This maintenance
plan addresses maintenance of the CO
NAAQS for a second 10-year period
beyond the original redesignation. EPA

second 10-year period.1 This
maintenance plan must demonstrate
continued compliance with the NAAQS
during this second 10-year period. On
July 13, 2011, the Governor of
Montana’s designee submitted to EPA a
second 10-year maintenance plan for the
Billings area for the CO NAAQS.
Along with the revised Billings
Maintenance Plan, the State submitted a
CO maintenance plan for the Great
Falls, Montana maintenance area, and
an alternative strategy for monitoring
continued attainment of the CO NAAQS
in all of the State’s CO maintenance
areas on July 13, 2011.2 The State
submitted the alternative monitoring
strategy in order to conserve resources
by discontinuing the gaseous CO
ambient monitors in both the Billings
and Great Falls CO maintenance areas.
We commented on the State’s
‘‘Alternative Monitoring Strategy,’’ and
the State submitted a revised version of
the strategy, which incorporated our
comments on June 22, 2012.
In a document published on
December 2, 2014, we proposed
approval of the Billings second 10-year
maintenance plan and the associated
‘‘Alternative Monitoring Strategy.’’ (79
FR 71369)
II. Response to Comments
The comment period for our
December 2, 2014 proposed rule was
open for 30 days. We did not receive
any comments on the proposed action.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the revised Billings
Maintenance Plan submitted on July 13,
2011. This maintenance plan meets the
applicable CAA requirements and EPA
has determined it is sufficient to
provide for maintenance of the CO
NAAQS over the course of the second
10-year maintenance period out to 2022.
EPA is also approving the State’s
Alternative Monitoring Strategy,
submitted on June 22, 2012, for the
Billings CO maintenance area. We are
not approving application of the
Alternative Monitoring Strategy in other
areas of Montana with this action, as the
Alternative Monitoring Strategy must be
considered on a case-by-case basis
specific to the circumstances of each
particular CO maintenance area rather
than broadly.
I. Background
Eight years after an area is
redesignated to attainment, Clean Air
Act (CAA) section 175A(b) requires the
state to submit a subsequent
maintenance plan to EPA, covering a

in the July 13, 2011 Alternative Monitoring
Strategy.

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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, 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
E:\FR\FM\30MRR1.SGM
30MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 60 / Monday, March 30, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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 May 29, 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:
Definitions
For the purpose of this document, we are giving meaning to certain
words or initials as follows:
(i) The words or initials Act or CAA mean or refer to the Clean
Air Act, unless the context indicates otherwise.
(ii) The initials CO mean or refer to carbon monoxide.
(iii) The words EPA, we, us or our mean or refer to the United
States Environmental Protection Agency.
(iv) The initials NAAQS mean or refer to the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards.
(v) The initials SIP mean or refer to State Implementation Plan.
(vi) The words Montana and State mean or refer to the State of

I. Background
Eight years after an area is redesignated to attainment, Clean Air
Act (CAA) section 175A(b) requires the state to submit a subsequent
maintenance plan to EPA, covering a second 10-year period.\1\ This
maintenance plan must demonstrate continued compliance with the NAAQS
during this second 10-year period. On July 13, 2011, the Governor of
Montana's designee submitted to EPA a second 10-year maintenance plan
for the Billings area for the CO NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ In this case, the initial maintenance period extended
through 2012. Thus, the second 10-year period extends through 2022.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Along with the revised Billings Maintenance Plan, the State
submitted a CO maintenance plan for the Great Falls, Montana
maintenance area, and an alternative strategy for monitoring continued
attainment of the CO NAAQS in all of the State's CO maintenance areas
on July 13, 2011.\2\ The State submitted the alternative monitoring
strategy in order to conserve resources by discontinuing the gaseous CO
ambient monitors in both the Billings and Great Falls CO maintenance
areas. We commented on the State's ``Alternative Monitoring Strategy,''
and the State submitted a revised version of the strategy, which
incorporated our comments on June 22, 2012.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ In addition to Billings and Great Falls, the Missoula, MT CO
maintenance area was included in the July 13, 2011 Alternative
Monitoring Strategy.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a document published on December 2, 2014, we proposed approval
of the Billings second 10-year maintenance plan and the associated
``Alternative Monitoring Strategy.'' (79 FR 71369)
II. Response to Comments
The comment period for our December 2, 2014 proposed rule was open
for 30 days. We did not receive any comments on the proposed action.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the revised Billings Maintenance Plan submitted on
July 13, 2011. This maintenance plan meets the applicable CAA
requirements and EPA has determined it is sufficient to provide for
maintenance of the CO NAAQS over the course of the second 10-year
maintenance period out to 2022.
EPA is also approving the State's Alternative Monitoring Strategy,
submitted on June 22, 2012, for the Billings CO maintenance area. We
are not approving application of the Alternative Monitoring Strategy in
other areas of Montana with this action, as the Alternative Monitoring
Strategy must be considered on a case-by-case basis specific to the
circumstances of each particular CO maintenance area rather than
broadly.
IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
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, 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
[[Page 16573]]
tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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).
