Air Plan Approval; Washington:
General Regulations for Air Pollution
Sources, Southwest Clean Air Agency
Jurisdiction
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to
the Washington State Implementation
Plan (SIP) that were submitted by the
Washington Department of Ecology
(Ecology) in coordination with
Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA)
on December 20, 2016. In the fall of
2014 and spring of 2015, the EPA
approved numerous revisions to
Ecology’s general air quality regulations.
However, our approval of the updated
Ecology regulations applied only to
geographic areas where Ecology, and not
a local air agency, had jurisdiction, and
statewide, to source categories over
which Ecology had sole jurisdiction.
Under the Washington Clean Air Act,
local clean air agencies may adopt
equally stringent or more stringent
requirements in lieu of Ecology’s
general air quality regulations, if they so
choose. Therefore, the EPA stated that
we would evaluate the general air
quality regulations as they applied to
local jurisdictions in separate, future
actions. This final action approves the
submitted SWCAA general air quality
regulations to replace or supplement the
corresponding Ecology regulations for
sources in SWCAA’s jurisdiction,
including implementation of the minor
new source review and nonattainment
new source review permitting programs.

This action also approves a limited
subset of Ecology regulations, for which
there are no corresponding SWCAA
corollaries, to apply in SWCAA’s
jurisdiction.

I. Background Information
On January 19, 2017, the EPA
proposed to approve revisions to
SWCAA’s general air quality regulations
and a limited subset of Ecology
regulations to apply in SWCAA’s
jurisdiction (82 FR 6413). An
explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
requirements, a detailed analysis of the
revisions, and the EPA’s reasons for
proposing approval were provided in
the notice of proposed rulemaking, and
will not be restated here. The public
comment period for this proposed rule
ended on February 21, 2017. The EPA
received two, separate anonymous
comments on the proposal.

II. Response to Comments
Comment #1: The commenter asserted
that the EPA’s proposed action is an
example of federal overreach on state
and local jurisdictions. The commenter
also stated that the EPA’s review and
proposed approval of the SWCAA
regulations violates the Tenth
Amendment to the United States
Constitution.
Response: Under the CAA, as
established and amended by Congress,
state and local authorities take the lead
in developing State Implementation
Plans (SIP) that implement, maintain,
and enforce the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS), which are
standards designed to protect public
health and welfare from air pollution. In
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA’s
role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR
52.02(a). In this case, EPA has done just
that—Washington elected to submit the
SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision to the
EPA, and the EPA has proposed to
approve the submission based on our
determination that it meets the
requirements of the CAA. We are now
finalizing our determination.
With respect to the claim that the
EPA’s action in approving this SIP
submittal violates the Tenth
Amendment, the Supreme Court has
repeatedly affirmed the constitutionality
of federal statutes, such as Section 110
of the CAA, that allow States to
administer federal programs but provide
for direct federal administration if a
State chooses not to administer it. See
Texas v. EPA, 726 F.3d 180, 196–7 (D.C.
Cir. 2013) (citing New York v. United
States, 505 U.S. 144, 167–8, 173–4
(1992); Hodel v. Va. Surface Mining &
Reclamation Ass’n, Inc., 452 U.S. 264m
288 (1981)).
Comment #2: A second commenter
wrote in support of the EPA’s proposed
approval of the SWCAA and Ecology
SIP revision.
Response: We are now finalizing our
proposed determination that the
SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision meets
the requirements of the CAA.
III. Final Action

B. Approved but Not Incorporated by
Reference Regulations
In addition to the regulations
approved and incorporated by reference
stated previously, the EPA reviews and
approves state and local clean air
agency submissions to ensure they
provide adequate enforcement authority
and other general authority to
implement and enforce the SIP.
However, regulations describing such
agency enforcement and other general
authority are generally not incorporated
by reference so as to avoid potential
conflict with the EPA’s independent
authorities. The EPA has reviewed and
is approving SWCAA 400–220
Requirements for Board Members,
SWCAA 400–230 Regulatory Actions
and Civil Penalties, SWCAA 400–240
Criminal Penalties, SWCAA 400–250
Appeals, SWCAA 400–260 Conflict of
Interest; SWCAA 400–270
Confidentiality of Records and
Information, and SWCAA 400–280
Powers of Agency as providing SWCAA
adequate enforcement and other general
authorities for purposes of
implementing and enforcing its SIP.
However, the EPA is not incorporating
these sections by reference into the SIP
codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead,
the EPA is including these sections in
40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA Approved
Nonregulatory Provisions and QuasiRegulatory Measures, as approved but
not incorporated by reference regulatory
provisions.
C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP
The Ecology regulations contained in
Washington’s SIP at 40 CFR
52.2470(c)—Table 8—Additional
Regulations Approved for the Southwest
Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Jurisdiction

were last approved by the EPA on June
2, 1995 (60 FR 28726). As discussed in
the proposal for this action, under the
Washington Clean Air Act, local air
agencies have the option of adopting
and implementing equally stringent or
more stringent corresponding provisions
to apply in lieu of Chapter 173–400
WAC, or parts of Chapter 173–400
WAC. With the exception of updated
versions of WAC 173–400–117, 173–
400–118, and 173–400–560, SWCAA
requested that the submitted SWCAA
regulations replace the existing WAC
provisions currently in the SIP for its
jurisdiction. Also as discussed in the
proposal, we are removing from the SIP
SWCAA 400–050(3) [formerly 400–
050(2)], 400–052, 400–070(6), 400–
070(8)(c) [formerly 400–070(7)(c) and
(d)], 400–074(2), 400–100, 400–101, and
400–109(4), because removal of these
provisions would not interfere with any
applicable requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable further
progress, or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. We also note
that the SIP includes a reference to
SWCAA 400–090 which was
renumbered to SWCAA 400–091 on
September 21, 1995. We are removing
the reference to SWCAA 400–090 in the
SIP which was inadvertently not
addressed as part of our February 26,
1997 approval of SWCAA 400–091 (62
FR 8624).
D. Scope of Proposed Action
This revision to the Washington SIP
applies specifically to the SWCAA
jurisdiction incorporated at 40 CFR
52.2470(c)—Table 8. As discussed in
our October 3, 2014 approval of
revisions to the WAC, local air agency
jurisdiction in Washington is generally

defined on a geographic basis; however,
there are exceptions (79 FR 59653, at
page 59654). By statute, SWCAA does
not have authority for sources under the
jurisdiction of the Energy Facility Site
Evaluation Council (EFSEC). See
Revised Code of Washington Chapter
80.50. Under the applicability
provisions of WAC 173–405–012, 173–
410–012, and 173–415–012, SWCAA
also does not have jurisdiction for kraft
pulp mills, sulfite pulping mills, and
primary aluminum plants. For these
sources, Ecology retains statewide,
direct jurisdiction. Ecology also retains
statewide, direct jurisdiction for the
prevention of significant deterioration
(PSD) permitting program. Therefore,
the EPA is not approving into 40 CFR
52.2470(c)—Table 8 the provisions of
Chapter 173–400 WAC related to the
PSD program. Specifically, the
provisions are WAC 173–400–116 and
WAC 173–400–700 through 750, already
approved by the EPA as applying statewide.
Jurisdiction to implement the
visibility permitting program contained
in WAC 173–400–117 varies depending
on the situation (see 80 FR 23721, April
29, 2015, at page 80 FR 23726). Ecology
retains authority to implement WAC
173–400–117 as it relates to PSD
permits. However, for facilities subject
to major nonattainment new source
review (NSR) under the applicability
provisions of SWCAA 400–800, we are
approving SWCAA to implementing
those parts of WAC 173–400–117 as
they relate to major nonattainment NSR
permits. We are also modifying the
visibility protection Federal
Implementation Plan contained in 40
CFR 52.2498 to reflect the approval of
WAC 173–400–117 as it applies to
E:\FR\FM\10APR1.SGM
10APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 67 / Monday, April 10, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
implementation of the major
nonattainment NSR program in
SWCAA’s jurisdiction.
Lastly, this SIP revision is not
approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land in the State, or any
other area where the EPA or an Indian
tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction.
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 as described
in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. These materials have been
approved by the EPA for inclusion in
the State Implementation Plan, have
been incorporated by reference by the
EPA into that plan, are fully federallyenforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of the EPA’s approval,
and will be incorporated by reference by
the Director of the Federal Register in
the next update to the SIP compilation.1
The EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these materials generally
available through https://
www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA
Region 10 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).

required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA 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

• 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
this action does not involve technical
standards; 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).
This SIP revision is not approved to
apply on any Indian reservation land in
Washington or 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).
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

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 June 9, 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

ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
This direct final action, taken
under the authority of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act), corrects an error in
previously promulgated rules approving
certain elements of the North Carolina
state implementation plan (SIP). The
error relates to the North Carolina SIP’s
Motor Vehicle Emissions Control
Standard rules and the correction
removes a provision of the State’s
otherwise federally-enforceable
regulations that could result in
infringement upon the sovereign
immunity of Federal facilities. The
intended effect is to ensure that the
North Carolina SIP is correctly
identified in the applicable part of the
Code of Federal Regulations and to
eliminate the possibility of such
infringement.
SUMMARY:
This direct final rule is effective
June 9, 2017 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse comment
by May 10, 2017. If EPA receives such
comments, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the
Federal Register and inform the public
that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 182(b)(4) of the CAA requires
areas that are designated as moderate,
serious, or severe ozone nonattainment
to establish a motor vehicle inspection
and maintenance (I/M) program to
ensure that specified gasoline-fueled
motor vehicles do not exceed prescribed
emissions thresholds by requiring that
vehicles undergo periodic emissions
testing, including mandatory repairs for
vehicles found to exceed these
thresholds. This emissions testing
ensures that vehicles are well
maintained and operating as designed.
The North Carolina I/M program
began in 1982 in Mecklenburg County
utilizing a ‘‘tail-pipe’’ emissions test.
From 1986 through 1991 the program
expanded to include eight additional
counties (Wake, Forsyth, Guilford,
Durham, Gaston, Cabarrus, Orange and
Union County). In 1999, the North
Carolina General Assembly passed
legislation to expand the coverage area
for the I/M program in order to gain
additional emission reductions to
achieve the 1997 8-hour ozone national
ambient air quality standards in the
State. This legislation expanded the I/M
program from nine counties to 48
counties by adding several counties
approximately every six months from
July 1, 2003, to July 1, 2006. The I/M
program in the expanded coverage area
used on-board diagnostic (OBD) rather
than tail-pipe testing. On August 7,
2002, North Carolina submitted a SIP
revision to amend the I/M regulations
included in the SIP at that time to,
among other things, expand the counties
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
subject to the I/M program as discussed
above, require OBD in the subject
counties for all model year (MY) 1996
and newer light duty gasoline vehicles,
and terminate the tail-pipe testing
program on January 1, 2006, for the nine
counties subject to continued tail-pipe
testing of MY 1995 and older vehicles.
EPA approved these changes to North
Carolina’s I/M program into the SIP on
October 30, 2002. See 67 FR 66056.
North Carolina submitted additional SIP
revisions related to the State’s I/M
program on January 31, 2008, May 24,
2010, October 11, 2013, and February
11, 2014. EPA approved North
Carolina’s January 31, 2008, May 24,
2010, October 11, 2013, and February
11, 2014, SIP revisions pertaining to
state rule changes to the State’s I/M
program on February 5, 2015. See 80 FR
6455.
II. Error Correction
The CAA sets forth requirements for
Federal facilities which are located in I/
M program areas. These requirements in
section 118(c) and (d) apply to both
Federal fleet and Federal employee
vehicles. Congress intended in that
section that Federal facilities located in
I/M program areas demonstrate
compliance with certain local and State
I/M requirements. When EPA published
the I/M rule in 1992, see 57 FR 52950,
the Agency interpreted CAA section
118(c) and (d) as a partial waiver of the
Federal government’s sovereign
immunity, thereby allowing States to
regulate Federal facilities in their I/M
programs.1 Accordingly, EPA
established certain SIP requirements for
Federal facilities in the I/M rule. Since
that time, the Department of Justice
(DOJ) has found that sections 118(c) and
(d) do not waive sovereign immunity for
the Federal government and thus states
are without authority to enforce the
section 118(c) and (d) requirements for
Federal facilities.2 Further, DOJ found
that the express waiver of sovereign
immunity in section 118(a) extends only
to nondiscriminatory requirements (i.e.,
each agency and employee of the
Federal government ‘‘shall be subject to,
and comply with, all Federal, State,
interstate, and local requirements,
administrative authority, and process
and sanctions respecting the control and
abatement of air pollution in the same

Air Plan Approval; Washington: General Regulations for Air
Pollution Sources, Southwest Clean Air Agency Jurisdiction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were
submitted by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) in
coordination with Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) on December 20,
2016. In the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015, the EPA approved numerous
revisions to Ecology's general air quality regulations. However, our
approval of the updated Ecology regulations applied only to geographic
areas where Ecology, and not a local air agency, had jurisdiction, and
statewide, to source categories over which Ecology had sole
jurisdiction. Under the Washington Clean Air Act, local clean air
agencies may adopt equally stringent or more stringent requirements in
lieu of Ecology's general air quality regulations, if they so choose.
Therefore, the EPA stated that we would evaluate the general air
quality regulations as they applied to local jurisdictions in separate,
future actions. This final action approves the submitted SWCAA general
air quality regulations to replace or supplement the corresponding
Ecology regulations for sources in SWCAA's jurisdiction, including
implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new
source review permitting programs. This action also approves a limited
subset of Ecology regulations, for which there are no corresponding
SWCAA corollaries, to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction.
DATES: This final rule is effective May 10, 2017.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R10-OAR-2016-0784. All documents in the docket are
listed on the https://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in

V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
I. Background Information
On January 19, 2017, the EPA proposed to approve revisions to
SWCAA's general air quality regulations and a limited subset of Ecology
regulations to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction (82 FR 6413). An
explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, a detailed
analysis of the revisions, and the EPA's reasons for proposing approval
were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking, and will not be
restated here. The public comment period for this proposed rule ended
on February 21, 2017. The EPA received two, separate anonymous comments
on the proposal.
II. Response to Comments
Comment #1: The commenter asserted that the EPA's proposed action
is an example of federal overreach on state and local jurisdictions.
The commenter also stated that the EPA's review and proposed approval
of the SWCAA regulations violates the Tenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution.
Response: Under the CAA, as established and amended by Congress,
state and local authorities take the lead in developing State
Implementation Plans (SIP) that implement, maintain, and enforce the
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), which are standards
designed to protect public health and welfare from air pollution. In
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40
CFR 52.02(a). In this case, EPA has done just that--Washington elected
to submit the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision to the EPA, and the EPA
has proposed to approve the submission based on our determination that
it meets the requirements of the CAA. We are now finalizing our
determination.
With respect to the claim that the EPA's action in approving this
SIP submittal violates the Tenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has
repeatedly affirmed the constitutionality of federal statutes, such as
Section 110 of the CAA, that allow States to administer federal
programs but provide for direct federal administration if a State
chooses not to administer it. See Texas v. EPA, 726 F.3d 180, 196-7
(D.C. Cir. 2013) (citing New York v. United States, 505 U.S. 144, 167-
8, 173-4 (1992); Hodel v. Va. Surface Mining & Reclamation Ass'n, Inc.,
452 U.S. 264m 288 (1981)).
Comment #2: A second commenter wrote in support of the EPA's
proposed approval of the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision.
Response: We are now finalizing our proposed determination that the
SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision meets the requirements of the CAA.
III. Final Action
A. Regulations Approved and Incorporated by Reference Into the SIP
The EPA is approving, and incorporating by reference, into the
Washington SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 8--Additional Regulations

B. Approved but Not Incorporated by Reference Regulations
In addition to the regulations approved and incorporated by
reference stated previously, the EPA reviews and approves state and
local clean air agency submissions to ensure they provide adequate
enforcement authority and other general authority to implement and
enforce the SIP. However, regulations describing such agency
enforcement and other general authority are generally not incorporated
by reference so as to avoid potential conflict with the EPA's
independent authorities. The EPA has reviewed and is approving SWCAA
400-220 Requirements for Board Members, SWCAA 400-230 Regulatory
Actions and Civil Penalties, SWCAA 400-240 Criminal Penalties, SWCAA
400-250 Appeals, SWCAA 400-260 Conflict of Interest; SWCAA 400-270
Confidentiality of Records and Information, and SWCAA 400-280 Powers of
Agency as providing SWCAA adequate enforcement and other general
authorities for purposes of implementing and enforcing its SIP.
However, the EPA is not incorporating these sections by reference into
the SIP codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead, the EPA is including
these sections in 40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA Approved Nonregulatory
Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures, as approved but not
incorporated by reference regulatory provisions.
C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP
The Ecology regulations contained in Washington's SIP at 40 CFR
52.2470(c)--Table 8--Additional Regulations Approved for the Southwest
Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Jurisdiction were last approved by the EPA on
June 2, 1995 (60 FR 28726). As discussed in the proposal for this
action, under the Washington Clean Air Act, local air agencies have the
option of adopting and implementing equally stringent or more stringent
corresponding provisions to apply in lieu of Chapter 173-400 WAC, or
parts of Chapter 173-400 WAC. With the exception of updated versions of
WAC 173-400-117, 173-400-118, and 173-400-560, SWCAA requested that the
submitted SWCAA regulations replace the existing WAC provisions
currently in the SIP for its jurisdiction. Also as discussed in the
proposal, we are removing from the SIP SWCAA 400-050(3) [formerly 400-
050(2)], 400-052, 400-070(6), 400-070(8)(c) [formerly 400-070(7)(c) and
(d)], 400-074(2), 400-100, 400-101, and 400-109(4), because removal of
these provisions would not interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress, or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA. We also note that the SIP includes a
reference to SWCAA 400-090 which was renumbered to SWCAA 400-091 on
September 21, 1995. We are removing the reference to SWCAA 400-090 in
the SIP which was inadvertently not addressed as part of our February
26, 1997 approval of SWCAA 400-091 (62 FR 8624).
D. Scope of Proposed Action
This revision to the Washington SIP applies specifically to the
SWCAA jurisdiction incorporated at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)--Table 8. As
discussed in our October 3, 2014 approval of revisions to the WAC,
local air agency jurisdiction in Washington is generally defined on a
geographic basis; however, there are exceptions (79 FR 59653, at page
59654). By statute, SWCAA does not have authority for sources under the
jurisdiction of the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC).
See Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under the applicability
provisions of WAC 173-405-012, 173-410-012, and 173-415-012, SWCAA also
does not have jurisdiction for kraft pulp mills, sulfite pulping mills,
and primary aluminum plants. For these sources, Ecology retains
statewide, direct jurisdiction. Ecology also retains statewide, direct
jurisdiction for the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD)
permitting program. Therefore, the EPA is not approving into 40 CFR
52.2470(c)--Table 8 the provisions of Chapter 173-400 WAC related to
the PSD program. Specifically, the provisions are WAC 173-400-116 and
WAC 173-400-700 through 750, already approved by the EPA as applying
state-wide.
Jurisdiction to implement the visibility permitting program
contained in WAC 173-400-117 varies depending on the situation (see 80
FR 23721, April 29, 2015, at page 80 FR 23726). Ecology retains
authority to implement WAC 173-400-117 as it relates to PSD permits.
However, for facilities subject to major nonattainment new source
review (NSR) under the applicability provisions of SWCAA 400-800, we
are approving SWCAA to implementing those parts of WAC 173-400-117 as
they relate to major nonattainment NSR permits. We are also modifying
the visibility protection Federal Implementation Plan contained in 40
CFR 52.2498 to reflect the approval of WAC 173-400-117 as it applies to
[[Page 17139]]
implementation of the major nonattainment NSR program in SWCAA's
jurisdiction.
Lastly, this SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land in the State, or any other area where the EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.
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 as described
in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. These materials
have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State Implementation
Plan, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that plan,
are fully federally-enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA
as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's approval,
and will be incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal
Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\ The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available
through https://www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 10 Office
(please contact the person identified in the For Further Information
Contact section of this preamble for more information).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 this action does not involve technical standards; 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).
This SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land in Washington or 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).
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 9, 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)).
