Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 67 / Monday, April 10, 2017 / Proposed Rules
• 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, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and the EPA notes
that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175
does not apply to this action.

Jkt 241001
This proposed action, taken
under the authority of the Clean Air Act,
would correct an error in previously
promulgated rules approving certain
elements of the North Carolina state
implementation plan (SIP). This 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.

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of
Georgia, through the Georgia
Environmental Protection Division on
August 6, 2014, pertaining to rule
changes for the Georgia Inspection and
Maintenance program. EPA is approving
this SIP revision as modified by GA EPD
through a December 1, 2016, partial
withdrawal letter. EPA is proposing this
action because the State has
demonstrated that these portions of the
SIP revision are consistent with the
Clean Air Act.
DATES: Written comments must be
received on or before May 10, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Rules Section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State’s
August 6, 2014 SIP revision as a direct
final rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a
noncontroversial submittal and
anticipates no adverse comments. As
discussed in the direct final rule, GA
EPD submitted a partial withdrawal
letter to EPA on December 1, 2016,
withdrawing the proposed revision to
Georgia Rule 391–3–20-.06, ‘‘On Road
Testing,’’ from the SIP revision.
Therefore, that rule is no longer part of
the SIP revision that EPA is proposing
to approve. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule and incorporated herein by
reference. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
adverse comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period
on this document. Any parties
interested in commenting on this
document should do so at this time.
