ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
Under the Federal Clean Air
Act (CAA), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submissions from the State of Oklahoma
regarding the 2008 Lead (Pb), 2008
Ozone, 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2),
and 2010 Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National
Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS or standards). The four
submittals address how the existing SIP
provides for implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of these
four NAAQS (infrastructure SIP or iSIP). These i-SIPs ensure that the
Oklahoma SIP is adequate to meet the
State’s responsibilities under the CAA,
including the CAA requirements for
interstate transport of Pb and NO2
emissions.
DATES: This rule is effective on January
9, 2017.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our September 20,
2016, proposal (81 FR 64377). In that
document we proposed to approve the
Oklahoma i-SIP submittals dated
October 5, 2012; February 28, 2014; and
January 28, 2015, which addressed the
2008 Pb NAAQS; the 2010 NO2 NAAQS;
and the 2008 ozone and 2010 SO2
NAAQS as meeting the requirements of
an i-SIP. Two of the submittals did not
address Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), prongs
1 and 2, regarding the contribution to
nonattainment and interfere with
maintenance of the 2008 ozone and
2010 SO2 NAAQS in other states, so we
did not propose to take action on such
elements for these two NAAQS. In
addition, we did not propose to take
action on section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)—the
prong that specifically addresses
visibility protection for the 2010 SO2
NAAQS. We will take separate action on
these three prongs for the 2008 ozone
and 2010 SO2 NAAQS. We did not
receive any comments regarding our
proposal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving in part the October
5, 2012, February 28, 2014, and January
28, 2015, infrastructure SIP submissions
from Oklahoma, which address the
requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1)
and (2) as applicable to the 2008 Pb,
2010 NO2, 2008 ozone, and 2010 SO2
NAAQS. Table 1 outlines the specific
actions we are approving.

Key to Table 1:
NG—Element is not germane to infrastructure SIPs.
A—Approving in this action.
SA—Acting on this infrastructure requirement in a separate rulemaking.
Based upon review of these
infrastructure SIP submissions and
relevant statutory and regulatory
authorities and provisions referenced in
these submissions and referenced in the
Oklahoma SIP, we find Oklahoma has
the infrastructure in place to address all
applicable required elements of sections
110(a)(1) and (2), except as noted in
Table 1, to ensure that the 2008 Pb, 2008
Ozone, 2010 NO2, and 2010 SO2
NAAQS are implemented in the State.
This action is being taken pursuant to
section 110 of the Act.
mstockstill on DSK3G9T082PROD with RULES
III. 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 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 CAA; 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by February 7, 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).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Regulations governing the summer
flounder fishery are found in 50 CFR
648.100 through 648.110. These
regulations require annual specification
of a commercial quota that is
apportioned among the coastal states
from Maine through North Carolina. The
process to set the annual commercial
quota and the percent allocated to each
state are described in § 648.102, and the
initial 2016 allocations were published
on December 28, 2015 (80 FR 80689).
The final rule implementing
Amendment 5 to the Summer Flounder
Fishery Management Plan, as published
in the Federal Register on December 17,
1993 (58 FR 65936), provided a
mechanism for transferring summer
flounder commercial quota from one
state to another. Two or more states,
under mutual agreement and with the
concurrence of the NMFS Greater
Atlantic Regional Administrator, can
transfer or combine summer flounder
commercial quota under § 648.102(c)(2).

SUMMARY: Under the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA), the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submissions from the State of Oklahoma regarding the 2008 Lead (Pb),
2008 Ozone, 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), and 2010 Sulfur
Dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS
or standards). The four submittals address how the existing SIP
provides for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of these four
NAAQS (infrastructure SIP or i-SIP). These i-SIPs ensure that the
Oklahoma SIP is adequate to meet the State's responsibilities under the
CAA, including the CAA requirements for interstate transport of Pb and
NO2 emissions.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 9, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our
September 20, 2016, proposal (81 FR 64377). In that document we
proposed to approve the Oklahoma i-SIP submittals dated October 5,
2012; February 28, 2014; and January 28, 2015, which addressed the 2008
Pb NAAQS; the 2010 NO2 NAAQS; and the 2008 ozone and 2010
SO2 NAAQS as meeting the requirements of an i-SIP. Two of
the submittals did not address Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I), prongs 1 and
2, regarding the contribution to nonattainment and interfere with
maintenance of the 2008 ozone and 2010 SO2 NAAQS in other
states, so we did not propose to take action on such elements for these
two NAAQS. In addition, we did not propose to take action on section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)--the prong that specifically addresses visibility
protection for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. We will take separate
action on these three prongs for the 2008 ozone and 2010 SO2
NAAQS. We did not receive any comments regarding our proposal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving in part the October 5, 2012, February 28, 2014,
and January 28, 2015, infrastructure SIP submissions from Oklahoma,
which address the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as
applicable to the 2008 Pb, 2010 NO2, 2008 ozone, and 2010
SO2 NAAQS. Table 1 outlines the specific actions we are
approving.

Key to Table 1:
NG--Element is not germane to infrastructure SIPs.
A--Approving in this action.
SA--Acting on this infrastructure requirement in a separate rulemaking.
Based upon review of these infrastructure SIP submissions and
relevant statutory and regulatory authorities and provisions referenced
in these submissions and referenced in the Oklahoma SIP, we find
Oklahoma has the infrastructure in place to address all applicable
required elements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2), except as noted in
Table 1, to ensure that the 2008 Pb, 2008 Ozone, 2010 NO2,
and 2010 SO2 NAAQS are implemented in the State. This action
is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the Act.
III. 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
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 CAA; 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by February 7, 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).)
