E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.
F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule involves a safety
zone lasting 6 hours that will prohibit
entry within 700 yards on the surface
and 1400 underwater of vessels and
machinery being used by Navy
personnel. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph
34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the Commandant
Instruction. An environmental analysis
checklist supporting this determination
and a Categorical Exclusion
Determination are available in the
docket where indicated under
ADDRESSES. We seek any comments or
information that may lead to the
discovery of a significant environmental
impact from this rule.

addresses how the existing SIP provides
for implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
(infrastructure SIP or i-SIP). This i-SIP
ensures that the State’s SIP for
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County is
adequate to meet the state’s
responsibilities under the Federal Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act), including the four
CAA requirements for interstate
transport of SO2 emissions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’

I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our November 12,
2015 Proposal (80 FR 69925). In that
notice, we proposed that the
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County New
Mexico i-SIP submittal for the 2010 SO2
NAAQS met the requirements for an iSIP, including the requirements for
interstate transport of SO2 emissions.
Our Proposal and the technical support
documents (TSDs) that accompanied the
proposed rule provide detailed
descriptions of the revisions and the
rationale for our proposed decisions.
Please see the docket for these and other
documents regarding our Proposal. The
public comment period for our Proposal
closed on December 14, 2015.
II. Comment Received
We received one comment, which is
posted in the docket, but is not relevant
to the subject of this rulemaking.
III. Final Action
We are approving the June 11, 2015 iSIP submission from AlbuquerqueBernalillo County New Mexico, which
address the requirements of CAA
sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as applicable
to the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. Specifically,
we are approving the following
infrastructure elements: 110(a)(2)(A),
(B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L),
and (M). We are also approving the New
Mexico-Albuquerque-Bernalillo County
demonstration as it meets the four
statutory requirements for interstate
transport of SO2 emissions.

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.
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:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:42 Feb 16, 2016
Jkt 238001
• 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, 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
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

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 April 18, 2016. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposed 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).)

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission from the Governor of New Mexico
for the City of Albuquerque-Bernalillo County for the 2010 Sulfur
Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). The submittal addresses how the existing SIP provides for

I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our
November 12, 2015 Proposal (80 FR 69925). In that notice, we proposed
that the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County New Mexico i-SIP submittal for
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS met the requirements for an i-SIP,
including the requirements for interstate transport of SO2
emissions. Our Proposal and the technical support documents (TSDs) that
accompanied the proposed rule provide detailed descriptions of the
revisions and the rationale for our proposed decisions. Please see the
docket for these and other documents regarding our Proposal. The public
comment period for our Proposal closed on December 14, 2015.
II. Comment Received
We received one comment, which is posted in the docket, but is not
relevant to the subject of this rulemaking.
III. Final Action
We are approving the June 11, 2015 i-SIP submission from
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County New Mexico, which address the
requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as applicable to the
2010 SO2 NAAQS. Specifically, we are approving the following
infrastructure elements: 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G),
(H), (J), (K), (L), and (M). We are also approving the New Mexico-
Albuquerque-Bernalillo County demonstration as it meets the four
statutory requirements for interstate transport of SO2
emissions.
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. 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, 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 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).
