Download as PDF rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 62 / Wednesday, April 1, 2015 / Rules and Regulations IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations.21 Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state decisions, 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 this action does not involve technical standards; 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 on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has 21 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:06 Mar 31, 2015 Jkt 235001 17331 jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175. 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 June 1, 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)).

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.

Final Action EPA is approving the revised Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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.

On July 13, 2011, the Governor of Montana's designee submitted to EPA a 
second 10-year maintenance plan for the Great Falls 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

    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

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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls Maintenance Plan, the State 
submitted a CO maintenance plan for the Billings, 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 1, 2014, we proposed approval 
of the Great Falls second 10-year maintenance plan and the associated 
``Alternative Monitoring Strategy.'' (79 FR 71057)

II. Response to Comments

    The comment period for our December 1, 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 Great Falls 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 Great Falls 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 17333]]

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 June 1, 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).)
