Download as PDF
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 133 / Thursday, July 13, 2017 / Proposed Rules
sections 111(d)/129 Federal plans to
state environmental agencies. The
requirements and limitations of a
delegation agreement are defined in
item 7–139. The Regional Administrator
may consider delegating authority to
implement and enforce Federal plans to
a state provided the following
conditions are met: (1) The state does
not already have an EPA approved State
plan; and (2) items (1) and (4) as
described above from section 62.15865
of the SSI Federal plan.
NJDEP has met all of the EPA’s
delegation requirements as described
above. The reader may view the NJDEP’s
letter to the EPA requesting delegation
and the MOA signed by both parties at
www.regulations.gov, identified by
Docket ID Number EPA–R02–OAR–
2017–0132.
VI. What is the EPA’s conclusion?
The EPA has evaluated the NJDEP’s
submittal for consistency with the CAA,
EPA regulations, and EPA policy. The
NJDEP has met all the requirements of
the EPA’s guidance for obtaining
delegation of authority to implement
and enforce the SSI Federal plan. The
NJDEP entered into a MOA with the
EPA and it became effective on January
24, 2017. Accordingly, the EPA
proposes to approve the NJDEP’s request
dated October 12, 2016 for delegation of
authority of the Federal plan for existing
SSI units. The EPA will continue to
retain certain specific authorities
reserved to the EPA in the SSI Federal
plan and as indicated in the MOA (e.g.,
authority to approve major alternatives
to test methods or monitoring, etc.).

VII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a State plan
submission that complies with the
provisions of CAA sections 111(d) and
129(b)(2) and applicable Federal
regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7411(d) and
7429(b)(2); 40 CFR 62.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing State plan submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting Federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:37 Jul 12, 2017
Jkt 241001
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
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; 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 proposed rulemaking
action, pertaining to the NJDEP’s section
111(d)/(129) request for delegation of
authority to implement and enforce the
Federal plan for existing SSI units, does
not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the NJDEP’s
section 111(d)/129 delegation request 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.
