XI. 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, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed
action merely approves some state law
as meeting federal requirements and
disapproves other state law because it
does not meet federal requirements; this
proposed action does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
Oct. 4, 1993);
• 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, Aug. 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 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, Feb. 16, 1994).
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 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).

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Abengoa

Order
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
revision to the Indiana State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management (IDEM) on
October 16, 2015. The submittal consists
of an order issued by the Commissioner
of IDEM (Commissioner’s Order No.
2015–01) approving alternative control
technology requirements for Abengoa
Bioenergy of Indiana (Abengoa). These
requirements include the use of a
carbon adsorption/absorption
hydrocarbon vapor recovery system
with a minimum overall control
efficiency of 98% to control volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions
from the ethanol loading racks at
Abengoa. A continuous emissions
monitoring system (CEMS) must be used
to monitor the carbon adsorption/
absorption hydrocarbon vapor recovery
system for breakthrough of VOC
emissions.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before September 12, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
SIP submittal as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt

B. What should I consider as I prepare
my comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this
information to EPA through
regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark
the part or all of the information that
you claim to be CBI. For CBI
information in a disk or CD–ROM that
you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the
disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then
identify electronically within the disk or
CD–ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that
includes information claimed as CBI, a
copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI
must be submitted for inclusion in the
public docket. Information so marked
will not be disclosed except in
accordance with procedures set forth in
40 CFR part 2.
2. Tips for preparing your comments.
When preparing and submitting your
comments, see the commenting tips at
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
comments.html.
3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to
achieve environmental justice, the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of any group, including minority and/or
low-income populations, in the
development, implementation, and
enforcement of environmental laws,
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4702

regulations, and policies. To help
address potential environmental justice
issues, the Agency seeks information on
any groups or segments of the
population who, as a result of their
location, cultural practices, or other
factors, may have atypical or
disproportionately high and adverse
human health impacts or environmental
effects from exposure to the pesticides
discussed in this document, compared
to the general population.
II. What action is the agency taking?
EPA is announcing its receipt of
several pesticide petitions filed under
section 408 of the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C.
346a, requesting the establishment or
modification of regulations in 40 CFR
part 180 for residues of pesticide
chemicals in or on various food
commodities. The Agency is taking
public comment on the requests before
responding to the petitioners. EPA is not
proposing any particular action at this
time. EPA has determined that the
pesticide petitions described in this
document contain the data or
information prescribed in FFDCA
section 408(d)(2), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2);
however, EPA has not fully evaluated
the sufficiency of the submitted data at
this time or whether the data support
granting of the pesticide petitions. After
considering the public comments, EPA
intends to evaluate whether and what
action may be warranted. Additional
data may be needed before EPA can
make a final determination on these
pesticide petitions.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a
summary of each of the petitions that
are the subject of this document,
prepared by the petitioner, is included
in a docket EPA has created for each
rulemaking. The docket for each of the
petitions is available at https://
www.regulations.gov.
As specified in FFDCA section
408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is
publishing notice of the petition so that
the public has an opportunity to
comment on this request for the
establishment or modification of
regulations for residues of pesticides in
or on food commodities. Further
information on the petition may be
obtained through the petition summary
referenced in this unit.
