C. Docket Copying Costs This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism You may be charged a reasonable fee for photocopying docket materials, as provided in 40 CFR part 2. VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review This action is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. B. Paperwork Reduction Act This action does not impose an information collection burden under the PRA. The changes made to the regulations as a result of this action impose no new or different reporting requirements on regulated parties. asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS C. Regulatory Flexibility Act I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. In making this determination, the impact of concern is any significant adverse economic impact on small entities. An agency may certify that a rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities if the rule relieves regulatory burden, has no net burden or otherwise has a positive economic effect on the small entities subject to the rule. This action clarifies the data sources and methodology used by EPA to establish the CWC price, establishes these prices for 2014 and 2015, and reinserts inadvertently overwritten regulatory language. The impacts of the RFS2 program on small entities were already addressed in the RFS2 final rule promulgated on March 26, 2010 (75 FR 14670), and this rule will not impose any additional requirements on small entities beyond those already analyzed. We have therefore concluded that this action will have no net regulatory burden for all directly regulated small entities. D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action implements mandate(s) specifically and explicitly set forth in Clean Air Act section 211(o) VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:20 Apr 02, 2015 Jkt 235001 F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. This rule will be implemented at the Federal level and potentially impacts gasoline, diesel, and renewable fuel producers, importers, distributors, and marketers. Tribal governments would be affected only to the extent they purchase and use regulated fuels. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action. G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks The EPA interprets EO 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory action’’ in section 2–202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks and because it implements specific standards established by Congress in statutes (section 211(o) of the Clean Air Act). H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations This proposed rule is a technical correction and does not concern an PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 environmental health or safety risk. Therefore, Executive Order 12898 does not apply. VII. Statutory Authority Statutory authority for this proposed action comes from section 211 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7545.

Reclassification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Withdrawal of proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is withdrawing a 
proposed action to reclassify the Indian country pertaining to the 
Pechanga Band of Luise[ntilde]o Mission Indians (Pechanga Reservation) 
from ``Severe-17'' to ``Extreme'' for the 1997 8-hour ozone national 
ambient air quality standard.

DATES: The proposed rule published on August 27, 2009 (74 FR 43654) is 
withdrawn with respect to the Pechanga Reservation on April 3, 2015.

Integration Office (AIR-8), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region IX, (415) 947-4102, israels.ken@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 27, 2009 (74 FR 43654), the EPA 
published a proposed rule to grant requests by the State of California 
to reclassify four nonattainment areas for the 1997 8-hour ozone 
national ambient air quality standard (``standard'') and to reclassify 
Indian country in keeping with the classifications of nonattainment 
areas within which they

[[Page 18185]]

are located. On May 5, 2010 (75 FR 24409), the EPA finalized the action 
as proposed except that EPA deferred reclassification of Indian country 
pertaining to the Morongo Band of Mission Indians (Morongo Reservation) 
and the Pechanga Band of Luise[ntilde]o Mission Indians (Pechanga 
Reservation) in keeping with the state's request for the South Coast 
Air Basin. On January 6, 2015 (80 FR 436), the EPA proposed to revise 
the boundaries of South Coast and San Diego ozone planning areas to 
designate the Pechanga Reservation as a separate air quality planning 
area for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard. In the January 6, 2015 
proposed rule, the EPA indicated that, if the Agency finalizes the 
January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as proposed, the EPA would withdraw the 
August 27, 2009 proposed rule to the extent that the 2009 proposed rule 
relates to the Pechanga Reservation. See 80 FR 436, at 438 (January 6, 
2015). In the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register, 
the EPA is finalizing its January 6, 2015 proposed rule, as proposed. 
In light of final Agency action on the January 6, 2015 proposal, the 
EPA is withdrawing the August 27, 2009 proposed reclassification of the 
Pechanga Reservation for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
