SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document wherever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our April 20,
2016, proposal (81 FR 23232). In that
document, we proposed to approve
portions of ten SIP submittals for the
State of Louisiana. These amendments
enhance the SIP by (1) defining
insignificant activities that will not
require permitting; (2) correcting
contradictory language in the
insignificant activities list; (3) providing
edits to the Permit Procedure Rule as
requested by the EPA; (4) including
procedures for incorporating test results;
(5) unifying and streamlining name and
ownership changes for all media; and
(6) revising references to various LDEQ
divisions. This action is being taken
under section 110 of the Act. We did not
receive any comments regarding our
proposal although the LDEQ did send a
letter to the EPA on July 14, 2016, to
update information on sections 525,
527, and 529.
II. Final Action
We are approving the revisions to the
Louisiana SIP as proposed in our April
20, 2016, proposal (81 FR 23232), with
the exception of sections 525, 527, and
529, as discussed below. This includes
SIP submittals from the State of
Louisiana submitted on November 15,
1993, November 10, 1994, July 25, 1997,

2006, November 9, 2007, August 14,
2009, August 29, 2013, and November 3,
2014. These revisions provide clarity to
the rules, correct contradictory
language, update permit application and
fee requirements, revise the rules to
conform to the latest Louisiana laws,
and add to the ‘‘Insignificant Activities
List’’. We approve the revisions to the
SIP that meet CAA requirements.
Specifically, we are approving revisions
to the Louisiana SIP pertaining to the
following sections:
• LAC 33:III.501 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, November 10, 1994,
June 22, 1998, June 27, 2003, May 5,
2006, November 9, 2007, August 14,

• LAC 33:III.502 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, and November 3,
2014;
• LAC 33:III.503 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, and November 3,
2014;
• LAC 33:III.504 as submitted on
November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.511 as submitted on
November 15, 1993;
• LAC 33:III.513 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, and November 9,
2007;
• LAC 33:III.515 as submitted on
November 15, 1993;
• LAC 33:III.517 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, November 10, 1994,
July 25, 1997, June 22, 1998, and May
5, 2006;
• LAC 33:III.519 as submitted on
November 15, 1993;
• LAC 33:III.521 as submitted on
November 10, 1994, and May 5, 2006;
• LAC 33:III.523 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, August 29, 2013,
and November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.601 as submitted on
November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.603 as submitted on
November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.605 as submitted on
November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.607 as submitted on
November 3, 2014;
• LAC 33:III.615 as submitted on
November 3, 2014; and
• LAC 33:III.619 as submitted on
November 3, 2014.
The EPA is not taking final action as
proposed on the Louisiana SIP at this
time pertaining to the following sections
based on LDEQ’s letter of July 14, 2016,
which withdrew portions of sections
525, 527, and 529 because they apply
exclusively to part 70 sources. The letter
specifically identified citations that are
already approved into Louisiana’s
Operating Permits program. EPA will
take action on the portion of the
citations in these sections that have not
been withdrawn in a future action:

• LAC 33:III.527 as submitted on
November 15, 1993, and November 10,
1994; and
• LAC 33:III.529 as submitted on
November 15, 1993.
This action is being taken under
section 110 of the Act.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, we are finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the
incorporation by reference of the
revisions to the Louisiana regulations as
described in the Final Action section
above. We have made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally
available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the EPA Region 6 office.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
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, the 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
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 October 3, 2016.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purpose 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).)

light of comments received on the

deem a train’s arrival at, or departure

I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our April

These amendments enhance the SIP by (1) defining insignificant

contradictory language in the insignificant activities list; (3)
providing edits to the Permit Procedure Rule as requested by the EPA;
(4) including procedures for incorporating test results; (5) unifying
and streamlining name and ownership changes for all media; and (6)
revising references to various LDEQ divisions. This action is being
taken under section 110 of the Act. We did not receive any comments
regarding our proposal although the LDEQ did send a letter to the EPA
on July 14, 2016, to update information on sections 525, 527, and 529.
II. Final Action
We are approving the revisions to the Louisiana SIP as proposed in
our April 20, 2016, proposal (81 FR 23232), with the exception of
sections 525, 527, and 529, as discussed below. This includes SIP

The EPA is not taking final action as proposed on the Louisiana SIP
at this time pertaining to the following sections based on LDEQ's
letter of July 14, 2016, which withdrew portions of sections 525, 527,
and 529 because they apply exclusively to part 70 sources. The letter
specifically identified citations that are already approved into
Louisiana's Operating Permits program. EPA will take action on the
portion of the citations in these sections that have not been withdrawn
in a future action:
[[Page 51342]]
LAC 33:III.525 as submitted on November 15, 1993;
LAC 33:III.527 as submitted on November 15, 1993, and
November 10, 1994; and
LAC 33:III.529 as submitted on November 15, 1993.
This action is being taken under section 110 of the Act.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, we are finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
revisions to the Louisiana regulations as described in the Final Action
section above. We have made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the EPA Region 6 office.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
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, the 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 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 October 3, 2016. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purpose 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).)
