I. Background Information On January 26, 2017, the EPA published a document in the Federal Register entitled ‘‘Delay of Effective Date for 30 Final Regulations Published by the Environmental Protection Agency Between October 28, 2016 and January 17, 2017’’ (82 FR 8499). In that document, the EPA delayed the effective date of Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area to March 21, 2017, as requested in the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President and Chief of Staff, entitled ‘‘Regulatory Freeze Pending Review’’ (January 20 Memo). That memo directed the heads of Executive Departments and Agencies to temporarily postpone for 60 days from the date of the January 20 Memo the effective dates of all regulations that had E:\FR\FM\21MRR1.SGM 21MRR1 14464 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations pmangrum on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES been published in the Federal Register but had not yet taken effect. The January 20 Memo also states: ‘‘Where appropriate and as permitted by applicable law, [agencies] should consider proposing for notice and comment a rule to delay the effective date for regulations beyond that 60-day period.’’ On February 24, 2017, the EPA proposed to further delay the effective date for the Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area until April 20, 2017. In this document, the EPA is finalizing action further delaying the effective date for Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/ Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area until April 20, 2017.

If Agency officials decide not to conduct a substantive review of Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area, it will become effective on April 20, 2017. II. Response to Comments The EPA received two comments generally opposing delaying the effective date of the final rule, arguing that it was ‘‘absurd . . . under any circumstances’’ (Commenter 1) and that there were ‘‘no grounds whatsoever’’ for the delay (Commenter 2). Response: Contrary to the position asserted by comments, there are reasonable grounds for this additional short delay of the effective date. As explained in the proposal and above, and consistent with the January 20 Memo, this extension of the effective date is needed to give Agency officials— many of whom have arrived at the Agency in recent weeks—an opportunity to review the action and to decide whether they would like to conduct a substantive review of this rule, including any necessary briefings VerDate Sep<11>2014 13:46 Mar 20, 2017 Jkt 241001 that may be needed to make such a determination.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background Information

    On January 26, 2017, the EPA published a document in the Federal 
Register entitled ``Delay of Effective Date for 30 Final Regulations 
Published by the Environmental Protection Agency Between October 28, 
2016 and January 17, 2017'' (82 FR 8499). In that document, the EPA 
delayed the effective date of Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval 
of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho 
PM2.5 Nonattainment Area to March 21, 2017, as requested in 
the memorandum of January 20, 2017, from the Assistant to the President 
and Chief of Staff, entitled ``Regulatory Freeze Pending Review'' 
(January 20 Memo). That memo directed the heads of Executive 
Departments and Agencies to temporarily postpone for 60 days from the 
date of the January 20 Memo the effective dates of all regulations that 
had

[[Page 14464]]

been published in the Federal Register but had not yet taken effect.
    The January 20 Memo also states: ``Where appropriate and as 
permitted by applicable law, [agencies] should consider proposing for 
notice and comment a rule to delay the effective date for regulations 
beyond that 60-day period.'' On February 24, 2017, the EPA proposed to 
further delay the effective date for the Partial Approval and Partial 
Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, 
Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area until April 20, 2017. In 
this document, the EPA is finalizing action further delaying the 
effective date for Partial Approval and Partial Disapproval of 
Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho 
PM2.5 Nonattainment Area until April 20, 2017. This 
additional delay will give Agency officials the opportunity to decide 
whether they would like to conduct a substantive review of this rule. 
If Agency officials decide to conduct a substantive review of Partial 
Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho 
Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area, 
the EPA will take appropriate actions to conduct such a review, 
including, but not limited to, issuing a document in the Federal 
Register addressing any further delays of the effective date of Partial 
Approval and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho 
Portion of the Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area or 
extensions of compliances dates in the rule. If Agency officials decide 
not to conduct a substantive review of Partial Approval and Partial 
Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the Logan, 
Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area, it will become 
effective on April 20, 2017.

II. Response to Comments

    The EPA received two comments generally opposing delaying the 
effective date of the final rule, arguing that it was ``absurd . . . 
under any circumstances'' (Commenter 1) and that there were ``no 
grounds whatsoever'' for the delay (Commenter 2).
    Response: Contrary to the position asserted by comments, there are 
reasonable grounds for this additional short delay of the effective 
date. As explained in the proposal and above, and consistent with the 
January 20 Memo, this extension of the effective date is needed to give 
Agency officials--many of whom have arrived at the Agency in recent 
weeks--an opportunity to review the action and to decide whether they 
would like to conduct a substantive review of this rule, including any 
necessary briefings that may be needed to make such a determination.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is further delaying the effective date for Partial Approval 
and Partial Disapproval of Attainment Plan for the Idaho Portion of the 
Logan, Utah/Idaho PM2.5 Nonattainment Area until April 20, 
2017.
