I. Background
On May 12, 2015, Alaska submitted
revisions to the Alaska SIP. On March
4, 2016, the EPA proposed to approve
specific revisions in the submission (81
FR 11497). Please see our proposed
rulemaking for further explanation and
the basis for our finding. The public
comment period for the proposal ended
on April 4, 2016. We received one
comment, a letter from the Alaska

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 97 / Thursday, May 19, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
Department of Environmental
Conservation dated May 9, 2016,
acknowledging our work and supporting
the proposal. We received no other
comments.
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving, and
incorporating by reference into the
Alaska SIP, changes to the following
provisions, state effective April 17,
2015:
• 18 AAC 50.010 Ambient Air
Quality Standards, except paragraphs
(7) and (8);
• 18 AAC 50.015 Air Quality
Designations, Classifications, and
Control Regions;
• 18 AAC 50.020 Baseline Dates and
Maximum Allowable Increases;
• 18 AAC 50.035 Documents,
Procedures and Methods Adopted by
Reference, except paragraphs (a)(6) and
(b)(4);
• 18 AAC 50.040 Federal Standards
Adopted by Reference, except (a), (b),
(c), (d), (e), (g), (i), (j), and (k); and
• 18 AAC 50.215 Ambient Air
Quality Analysis Methods, except (a)(4).
We note that we previously approved
the submitted rule revisions related to
transportation conformity at 18 AAC
50.700 through 18 AAC 50.750, and 18
AAC 50.990 on September 8, 2015 (80
FR 53735). This action is being taken
under section 110 and part C of title I
of the CAA.

III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of the Alaska
regulations described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically
through https://www.regulations.gov
and/or in hard copy at the appropriate
EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of
this preamble for more information).
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
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:37 May 18, 2016
Jkt 238001
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
this action does not involve technical
standards; and
• does not provide the 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 the 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).
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. The EPA will
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 July 18, 2016. 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)).

I. Background
On May 12, 2015, Alaska submitted revisions to the Alaska SIP. On
March 4, 2016, the EPA proposed to approve specific revisions in the
submission (81 FR 11497). Please see our proposed rulemaking for
further explanation and the basis for our finding. The public comment
period for the proposal ended on April 4, 2016. We received one
comment, a letter from the Alaska
[[Page 31512]]
Department of Environmental Conservation dated May 9, 2016,
acknowledging our work and supporting the proposal. We received no
other comments.
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving, and incorporating by reference into the
Alaska SIP, changes to the following provisions, state effective April
17, 2015:
18 AAC 50.010 Ambient Air Quality Standards, except
paragraphs (7) and (8);
18 AAC 50.015 Air Quality Designations, Classifications,
and Control Regions;
18 AAC 50.020 Baseline Dates and Maximum Allowable
Increases;
18 AAC 50.035 Documents, Procedures and Methods Adopted by
Reference, except paragraphs (a)(6) and (b)(4);
18 AAC 50.040 Federal Standards Adopted by Reference,
except (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (i), (j), and (k); and
18 AAC 50.215 Ambient Air Quality Analysis Methods, except
(a)(4).
We note that we previously approved the submitted rule revisions
related to transportation conformity at 18 AAC 50.700 through 18 AAC
50.750, and 18 AAC 50.990 on September 8, 2015 (80 FR 53735). This
action is being taken under section 110 and part C of title I of the
CAA.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
Alaska regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available electronically through https://www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office
(see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).
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 CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the 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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
does not provide the 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 the 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).
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. The 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 July 18, 2016. 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)).
