Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 120 / Friday, June 23, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
• 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 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
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 August 22, 2017.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by

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)).

ACTION: Final rule; technical
amendment.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking action to correct
paragraph numbering in the
Incorporations by Reference (IBR)
section of our regulations that
specifically lists material that can be
purchased from the American Society
for Testing and Materials (ASTM). This
action assigns the appropriate IBR
paragraph numbers by correcting
paragraph ordering errors.
DATES: Effective: June 23, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This
action corrects paragraph ordering
errors in 40 CFR 60.17(h) as highlighted
in the editorial note at the end of
§ 60.17. The editorial note mentions that
amendments could not be incorporated
into § 60.17(h) as requested in a final
rule published August 30, 2016
(Revisions to Test Methods,
Performance Specifications, and Testing
Regulations for Air Emission Sources
(81 FR 59799)), because paragraph
(h)(207) already existed as of the
effective date. This issue occurred when
two rules that both added incorporation
by reference paragraphs in § 60.17(h)
published out of order.
Section 553 of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C.
553(b)(3)(B), provides that, when an
agency for good cause finds that notice
and public procedure are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. We
have determined that there is good
cause for making this technical
amendment final without prior proposal
and opportunity for public amendment
because only simple publication errors
are being corrected that do not

National Emission Standards for

Industry: Alternative Monitoring
Method
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
AGENCY:
The EPA is taking direct final
action to amend the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
From the Portland Cement
Manufacturing Industry. This direct
final rule provides a compliance
alternative for sources that would
otherwise be required to use a hydrogen
chloride (HCl) continuous emissions
monitoring system (CEMS) to
demonstrate compliance with the HCl
emissions limit. This compliance
alternative is needed due to the current
unavailability of the HCl calibration
gases used for CEMS quality assurance
purposes.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 5,
2017 without further notice, unless the
EPA receives significant adverse
comment by July 3, 2017. If the EPA
receives significant adverse comment,
we will publish a timely withdrawal in
the Federal Register informing the
public that the rule will not take effect.

Once submitted, comments cannot be
