ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve portions the May 14, 2012,
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submission, provided by the Georgia
Department of Natural Resources,
Environmental Protection Division
(hereafter referred to as GA EPD) for
inclusion into the Georgia SIP. This
final action pertains to the Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act) infrastructure
requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone
national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS). The CAA requires that each
state adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each NAAQS
promulgated by EPA, which is
commonly referred to as an
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. GA EPD certified
that the Georgia SIP contains provisions
that ensure the 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and
maintained in Georgia. With the
exception of provisions pertaining to
prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD) permitting and interstate
transport requirements, EPA is taking
final action to approve Georgia’s
infrastructure SIP submission provided
to EPA on May 14, 2012, as satisfying
the required infrastructure elements for
the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DATES:
[FR Doc. 2015–25576 Filed 10–8–15; 8:45 am]
SUMMARY:
EPA approval date
I. Background
Upon promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS, sections 110(a)(1) and
(2) of the CAA require states to address
basic SIP requirements, including
emissions inventories, monitoring, and
modeling to assure attainment and
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
maintenance for that new NAAQS.
Section 110(a) of the CAA generally
requires states to make a SIP submission
to meet applicable requirements in
order to provide for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of a new
or revised NAAQS within three years
following the promulgation of such
NAAQS, or within such shorter period
as EPA may prescribe. For additional
information on the infrastructure SIP
requirements, see the proposed
rulemaking published on July 20, 2015.
See 80 FR 42777.
On July 20, 2015, EPA proposed to
approve portions of Georgia’s May 14,
2012, 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS
infrastructure SIP submission with the
exception of the PSD permitting
requirements for major sources of
sections 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) prong 3
and (J); and the interstate transport
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
and (II) (prongs 1, 2, and 4). See 80 FR
42777. EPA did not receive any
comments, adverse or otherwise, on the
July 20, 2015, proposed rule. On March
18, 2015, EPA took final action to
approve the PSD permitting
requirements listed above (80 FR
14019), and is not taking any action on
the interstate transport requirements
listed above. EPA is taking final action
to approve the portions of Georgia’s
infrastructure SIP submission proposed
on July 20, 2015, as demonstrating that
the State meets the applicable
requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and
(2) of the CAA for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS.
II. Final Action
With the exception of the PSD
permitting provisions in sections
110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) prong 3 and (J);
and the interstate transport
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
and (II) (prongs 1, 2, and 4), EPA is
taking final action to approve Georgia’s
May 14, 2012, infrastructure SIP
submission because it addresses the
section 110(a)(1) and (2) requirements of
the CAA to ensure that the 2008 8-hour
E:\FR\FM\09OCR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 196 / Friday, October 9, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
ozone NAAQS is implemented,
enforced, and maintained in Georgia.
III. 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.
See 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 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 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).
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 December 8, 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. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action
published in the proposed rules section
of today’s Federal Register, rather than
file an immediate petition for judicial
review of this direct final rule, so that
EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section
307(b)(2).

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve in part, and disapprove in part,
the November 4, 2011, State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission,
provided by the Alabama Department of
Environmental Management (ADEM) for
inclusion into the Alabama SIP. This
final action pertains to the Clean Air Act
(CAA or the Act) infrastructure
requirements for the 2008 Lead national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
The CAA requires that each state adopt
and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each NAAQS
promulgated by EPA, which is
commonly referred to as an
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. ADEM certified
that the Alabama SIP contains
provisions that ensure the 2008 Lead
NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and
maintained in Alabama. With the
exception of provisions pertaining to
prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD) permitting, which EPA is taking
no action through this notice, and the
provisions respecting state boards, for
which EPA is taking final action to
disapprove, EPA is taking final action to
approve Alabama’s infrastructure SIP
submission provided to EPA on
November 4, 2011, as satisfying the
required infrastructure elements for the
2008 Lead NAAQS.
DATES: This rule will be effective

(80 FR 42765).
On July 20, 2015, EPA proposed to
approve in part, and disapprove in part,
Alabama’s November 4, 2011, 2008 Lead
NAAQS infrastructure SIP submission.
EPA did not receive any comments,
adverse or otherwise, on the July 20,
2015, proposed rule. EPA is not taking
any action today pertaining to the PSD
permitting requirements for major
sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3
of D(i), and (J) for the 2008 Lead
NAAQS. EPA took final action on these
elements in a separate action on March

element of Alabama’s submissions.
II. Final Action
With the exception of the PSD
permitting requirements for major
sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3
of (D)(i) and (J), and the state board
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii),
EPA is taking final action to approve
that ADEM’s infrastructure SIP
submission, submitted November 4,
2011, for the 2008 Lead NAAQS meets
the above described infrastructure SIP
requirements. EPA is taking final action
to disapprove Alabama’s infrastructure
submission for section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii)
because the State’s implementation plan
does not contain provisions to comply
with section 128 of the Act.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve portions the May 14, 2012, State Implementation Plan
(SIP) submission, provided by the Georgia Department of Natural
Resources, Environmental Protection Division (hereafter referred to as
GA EPD) for inclusion into the Georgia SIP. This final action pertains
to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) infrastructure requirements for
the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated
by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an ``infrastructure'' SIP. GA
EPD certified that the Georgia SIP contains provisions that ensure the
2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in
Georgia. With the exception of provisions pertaining to prevention of
significant deterioration (PSD) permitting and interstate transport
requirements, EPA is taking final action to approve Georgia's
infrastructure SIP submission provided to EPA on May 14, 2012, as
satisfying the required infrastructure elements for the 2008 8-hour
ozone NAAQS.
DATES: This rule will be effective November 9, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Upon promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, sections 110(a)(1) and
(2) of the CAA require states to address basic SIP requirements,
including emissions inventories, monitoring, and modeling to assure
attainment and maintenance for that new NAAQS. Section 110(a) of the
CAA generally requires states to make a SIP submission to meet
applicable requirements in order to provide for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of a new or revised NAAQS within three
years following the promulgation of such NAAQS, or within such shorter
period as EPA may prescribe. For additional information on the
infrastructure SIP requirements, see the proposed rulemaking published
on July 20, 2015. See 80 FR 42777.
On July 20, 2015, EPA proposed to approve portions of Georgia's May
14, 2012, 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS infrastructure SIP submission with
the exception of the PSD permitting requirements for major sources of
sections 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) prong 3 and (J); and the interstate
transport requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs
1, 2, and 4). See 80 FR 42777. EPA did not receive any comments,
adverse or otherwise, on the July 20, 2015, proposed rule. On March 18,
2015, EPA took final action to approve the PSD permitting requirements
listed above (80 FR 14019), and is not taking any action on the
interstate transport requirements listed above. EPA is taking final
action to approve the portions of Georgia's infrastructure SIP
submission proposed on July 20, 2015, as demonstrating that the State
meets the applicable requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the
CAA for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
II. Final Action
With the exception of the PSD permitting provisions in sections
110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II) prong 3 and (J); and the interstate transport
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 1, 2, and
4), EPA is taking final action to approve Georgia's May 14, 2012,
infrastructure SIP submission because it addresses the section
110(a)(1) and (2) requirements of the CAA to ensure that the 2008 8-
hour
[[Page 61110]]
ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Georgia.
III. 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. See 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 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 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).
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 December 8, 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
