The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). V. 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.

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 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).

Public Comments and EPA Responses The EPA’s proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. During this period, we received one comment that was submitted anonymously. Comment: The comment begins, ‘‘I don’t see why this would not be approved right away,’’ and generally supports the EPA’s proposal to approve Rule 433. The comment also includes general statements and questions such as ‘‘the fact that ‘Indian’ is still the term being used in this proposed rule is troublesome,’’ ‘‘it would be nice to see them go above and beyond the EPA’s suggested guidelines,’’ ‘‘what does this mean for the Indigenous land,’’ ‘‘who is in charge of regulation,’’ ‘‘how will this alter the particle [sic] matters given off by this lakebed,’’ ‘‘what happened to cause this lakebed to behave in such a way . . . shouldn’t that be looked into instead of altering the way nature is now,’’ and ‘‘instead of being a reactive society we should be more proactive and investigate into ‘unintended consequences’ more so than we do now.’’ Response: The comment generally supports EPA’s proposed approval of Rule 433. The comment does not provide specific information related to the basis for EPA’s proposed approval and does not request any changes to our proposed action. In addition, most of the statements and questions in the comment are not relevant to EPA’s action approving Rule 433 or are outside of the scope of this action.

ACTION: Direct final rule. AGENCY: Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a state submission as a revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revision amends the Illinois Administrative Code (IAC) by updating the definition of volatile organic material (VOM), otherwise known as volatile organic compounds (VOC), to exclude 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP). This revision is in response to an EPA rulemaking in 2014 which exempted this compound from the Federal definition of VOC on the basis that the compound makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation.

I. Proposed Action

On September 13, 2016 (81 FR 62849), the EPA proposed to approve
the following rule into the California SIP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local agency Rule No. Rule title Adopted Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GBUAPCD............................... 433 Control of Particulate 04/13/16 06/09/16
Emissions at Owens Lake.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We proposed to approve this rule because we determined that it
complied with the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action
contains more information on the rule and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received one comment that was submitted
anonymously.
Comment: The comment begins, ``I don't see why this would not be
approved right away,'' and generally supports the EPA's proposal to
approve Rule 433. The comment also includes general statements and
questions such as ``the fact that `Indian' is still the term being used
in this proposed rule is troublesome,'' ``it would be nice to see them
go above and beyond the EPA's suggested guidelines,'' ``what does this
mean for the Indigenous land,'' ``who is in charge of regulation,''
``how will this alter the particle [sic] matters given off by this
lakebed,'' ``what happened to cause this lakebed to behave in such a
way . . . shouldn't that be looked into instead of altering the way
nature is now,'' and ``instead of being a reactive society we should be
more proactive and investigate into `unintended consequences' more so
than we do now.''
Response: The comment generally supports EPA's proposed approval of
Rule 433. The comment does not provide specific information related to
the basis for EPA's proposed approval and does not request any changes
to our proposed action. In addition, most of the statements and
questions in the comment are not relevant to EPA's action approving
Rule 433 or are outside of the scope of this action. For those reasons,
the EPA is finalizing its proposed approval of Rule 433 without change
based on the comment.

III. EPA Action

No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving this rule into
the California SIP.

IV. 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
GBUAPCD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. 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 (Public Law 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 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

[[Page 95475]]

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. 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 February 27, 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)).
