designation, must attest that:
(i) The information provided to the
Office is true, accurate, and complete to
the best of his or her knowledge; and
(ii) He or she has been given authority
to make the designation, amendment, or
resubmission on behalf of the service
provider.
(3) Amendment. All service providers
must ensure the currency and accuracy
of the information contained in
designations submitted to the Office by
timely updating information when it has
changed. A service provider may amend
a designation previously registered with
the Office at any time to correct or
update information.
(4) Periodic renewal. A service
provider’s designation will expire and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
or ‘‘our’’ refer to the EPA. This section
provides additional information by
addressing the following:
I. Background
II. Analysis of State Submittal
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:21 Oct 31, 2016
Jkt 241001
I. Background
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that
state 1 regulatory agencies implement
the emission guidelines and compliance
times using a state plan developed
under sections 111(d) and 129 of the
CAA.
The general provisions for the
submittal and approval of state plans are
codified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B
and 40 CFR part 62, subpart A. section
111(d) establishes general requirements
and procedures on state plan submittals
for the control of designated pollutants.
Section 129 requires emission
guidelines to be promulgated for all
categories of solid waste incineration
units, including OSWI units. Section
129 mandates that all plan requirements
be at least as protective and restrictive
as the promulgated emission guidelines.
This includes fixed final compliance
dates, fixed compliance schedules, and
Title V permitting requirements for all
affected sources. Section 129 also
requires that state plans be submitted to
EPA within one year after EPA’s
promulgation of the emission guidelines
and compliance times.
States have options other than
submitting a state plan in order to fulfill
their obligations under CAA sections
111(d) and 129. If a State does not have
any existing OSWI units for the relevant
emission guidelines, a letter can be
submitted certifying that no such units
exist within the State (i.e., negative
declaration) in lieu of a state plan.
The negative declaration exempts the
State from the requirements of subpart
B that would otherwise require the
submittal of a CAA section 111(d)/129
plan.
On March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15372), the
EPA established emission guidelines
and compliance times for existing OSWI
units. The emission guidelines and
compliance times are codified at 40 CFR
60, subpart FFFF.
In order to fulfill obligations under
CAA sections 111(d) and 129, the State
of New York submitted a negative
declaration letter to the EPA on
November 13, 2006, the State of New
Jersey submitted a negative declaration
letter to the EPA on April 5, 2006 and
the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
submitted a negative declaration letter
to the EPA on September 25, 2006.
The submittal of these declarations
exempts the State of New York, State of
New Jersey and Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico from the requirement to
submit a state plan for existing OSWI
units.
1 Section 302(d) of the CAA includes the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico in the definition of
the term ‘‘State.’’

II. Analysis of State Submittal
In this Direct Final action, the EPA is
amending part 62 to reflect receipt of
the negative declaration letters from the
State of New York, State of New Jersey
and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
certifying that there are no existing
OSWI units subject to 40 CFR part 60,
subpart FFFF, in accordance with
section 111(d) of the CAA.
The EPA is publishing this direct final
rule without a prior proposed rule
because we view this as a
noncontroversial action and anticipate
no adverse comment.
However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’
section of this Federal Register, we are
publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposed rule to
approve the negative declaration if
adverse comments are received on this
direct final rule. We will not institute a
second comment period on this action.
Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further
information about commenting on this
rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this
document. If the EPA receives adverse
comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that this direct
final rule will not take effect. We will
address all public comments in any
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a section 111(d)/129
plan submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 40 CFR 62.04.
Thus, in reviewing section 111(d)/129
plan 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 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
E:\FR\FM\01NOR1.SGM
01NOR1
jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
75710
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 211 / Tuesday, November 1, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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 this action does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 because the
section 111(d)/129 plan is not approved
to apply in Indian country located in the
state, and EPA notes will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this section.
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 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 January 3, 2017.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:21 Oct 31, 2016
Jkt 241001
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)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' or
``our'' refer to the EPA. This section provides additional information
by addressing the following:
I. Background
II. Analysis of State Submittal
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that state \1\ regulatory agencies
implement the emission guidelines and compliance times using a state
plan developed under sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Section 302(d) of the CAA includes the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico in the definition of the term ``State.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The general provisions for the submittal and approval of state
plans are codified in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B and 40 CFR part 62,
subpart A. section 111(d) establishes general requirements and
procedures on state plan submittals for the control of designated
pollutants.
Section 129 requires emission guidelines to be promulgated for all
categories of solid waste incineration units, including OSWI units.
Section 129 mandates that all plan requirements be at least as
protective and restrictive as the promulgated emission guidelines. This
includes fixed final compliance dates, fixed compliance schedules, and
Title V permitting requirements for all affected sources. Section 129
also requires that state plans be submitted to EPA within one year
after EPA's promulgation of the emission guidelines and compliance
times.
States have options other than submitting a state plan in order to
fulfill their obligations under CAA sections 111(d) and 129. If a State
does not have any existing OSWI units for the relevant emission
guidelines, a letter can be submitted certifying that no such units
exist within the State (i.e., negative declaration) in lieu of a state
plan.
The negative declaration exempts the State from the requirements of
subpart B that would otherwise require the submittal of a CAA section
111(d)/129 plan.
On March 21, 2011 (76 FR 15372), the EPA established emission
guidelines and compliance times for existing OSWI units. The emission
guidelines and compliance times are codified at 40 CFR 60, subpart
FFFF.
In order to fulfill obligations under CAA sections 111(d) and 129,
the State of New York submitted a negative declaration letter to the
EPA on November 13, 2006, the State of New Jersey submitted a negative
declaration letter to the EPA on April 5, 2006 and the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico submitted a negative declaration letter to the EPA on
September 25, 2006.
The submittal of these declarations exempts the State of New York,
State of New Jersey and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico from the
requirement to submit a state plan for existing OSWI units.
II. Analysis of State Submittal
In this Direct Final action, the EPA is amending part 62 to reflect
receipt of the negative declaration letters from the State of New York,
State of New Jersey and Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, certifying that
there are no existing OSWI units subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart
FFFF, in accordance with section 111(d) of the CAA.
The EPA is publishing this direct final rule without a prior
proposed rule because we view this as a noncontroversial action and
anticipate no adverse comment.
However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this Federal
Register, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the
proposed rule to approve the negative declaration if adverse comments
are received on this direct final rule. We will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting
must do so at this time. For further information about commenting on
this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this document. If the EPA
receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register informing the public that this direct final rule will
not take effect. We will address all public comments in any subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a section
111(d)/129 plan submission that complies with the provisions of the Act
and applicable Federal regulations. 40 CFR 62.04.
Thus, in reviewing section 111(d)/129 plan 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 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
[[Page 75710]]
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 this action does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 because the section 111(d)/129 plan
is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and
EPA notes will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this section.
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 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 January 3, 2017.
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)).
