Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 19, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
questioned whether it is good public
policy to charge a user fee when the
public benefits from minimum
competency standards for return
preparers. The IRS has determined that
an exception to the full-cost
requirement is not justified, because
subsidizing the cost of the EA–SEE
program requires diverting resources
from other activities that are in the
public interest and that inure to the
public generally, rather than to
identifiable recipients requesting the
specific benefit of taking the EA–SEE.
Drafting Information
The principal author of this regulation
is Jonathan R. Black of the Office of the
Associate Chief Counsel (Procedure and
Administration).

PART 300—USER FEES
Paragraph 1. The authority citation
for part 300 continues to read as
follows:
■
Par. 2. Section 300.4 is amended by
revising paragraphs (b) and (d) to read
as follows:
■
Certain IRS regulations, including this
one, are exempt from the requirements
of Executive Order 12866, as
supplemented and reaffirmed by
Executive Order 13563. Therefore, a
regulatory assessment is not required.
Pursuant to the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. chapter 6), it is hereby
certified that this regulation will not
have a significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities.
The user fee primarily affects
individuals who take the enrolled agent
examination, many of whom may not be
classified as small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act. Therefore, a
substantial number of small entities is
not likely to be affected. Further, the
economic impact on any small entities
affected would be limited to paying the
$70 difference in cost per part between
the $81 user fee and the previous $11
user fee, which is unlikely to present a
significant economic impact. Moreover,
the total economic impact of this
regulation is approximately $1.57
million, which is the product of the
approximately 22,425 parts of the EA–
SEE administered annually and the $70
increase in the fee. Accordingly, the rule
is not expected to have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities, and a
regulatory flexibility analysis is not
required.

I. Background and Purpose
On May 8, 2017 (82 FR 21346), EPA
published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Maine. The NPR proposed approval of
Maine’s revised Chapter 119, Motor
E:\FR\FM\19JYR1.SGM
19JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 137 / Wednesday, July 19, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits, that had
been amended to require retailers to sell
reformulated gasoline (RFG) in the
counties of York, Cumberland,
Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, Kennebec,
Knox, and Lincoln effective June 1,
2015. The formal SIP revision was
submitted by the Maine DEP on August
28, 2015. A detailed discussion of
Maine’s August 28, 2015 SIP revision
and EPA’s rationale for proposing
approval of the SIP revision were
provided in the NPR and will not be
restated in this notice. No public
comments were received on the NPR.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Maine’s August 28,
2015 SIP revision. Specifically, EPA is
approving Maine’s revised Chapter 119,
Motor Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits,
and incorporating it into the Maine SIP.
EPA is approving this SIP revision
because it meets all applicable
requirements of the Clean Air Act and
relevant EPA guidance, and it will not
interfere with attainment or
maintenance of the ozone NAAQS.
III. 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 of the State
of Maine’s revised Chapter 119
described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through
https://www.regulations.gov.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:17 Jul 18, 2017
Jkt 241001
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
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide 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 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. EPA will submit a
PO 00000

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 September 18,
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).)

I. Background and Purpose
Maine’s Chapter 152, ‘‘Control of
Emissions of Volatile Organic
Compounds from Consumer Products’’
(Chapter 152) became effective in the
State of Maine on September 1, 2004
and was approved by EPA into the
Maine SIP on October 24, 2005 (70 FR
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
61382). Maine subsequently amended
this rule. The current amended version
of the rule became effective in the State
of Maine on December 15, 2007 and was
approved by EPA into the Maine SIP on
May 22, 2012 (77 FR 30216). Chapter
152 contains VOC content limits for the
manufacture and sale of various
consumer products in the state of
Maine. Chapter 152 also provides for
state and EPA approval of ACPs by
allowing the responsible party the
option of voluntarily applying for such
agreements.
On March 30, 2012, the Maine DEP
received an ACP application from
Reckitt Benckiser LLC (Reckitt) for
Reckitt’s Air Wick Air Freshener SinglePhase Aerosol Spray pursuant to
Chapter 152. The Maine DEP approved
the Reckitt ACP effective April 23, 2013
and on the same day sent EPA the ACP
for approval into the Maine SIP.
II. Description and Evaluation of the
State’s Submittal
Reckitt manufactures Air Wick Air
Freshener Single-Phase Aerosol Spray
(Product), which is offered for retail sale
and wholesale distribution in the State
of Maine. The Product contains 4.6%
VOCs by weight. The Chapter 152
regulatory content limit for single-phase
aerosol air freshener is 30% VOCs by
weight. Reckitt’s ACP generates VOC
credits, expressed in pounds of VOCs,
based on the difference between the
Product VOC content and regulatory
VOC limit for each unit sold in the State
of Maine. Credits generated are subject
to the conditions in the ACP Approval.
Reckitt shall monitor Maine sales of the
Product and each calendar quarter shall
provide to the Maine DEP accurate
records and documentation as a basis
for compliance reporting. Only sales in
the State of Maine that are substantiated
by accurate documentation shall be
used in the calculation of VOC
emissions and emission reductions
(surplus reductions). The resulting
surplus reduction credits shall be
discounted by 5% prior to the issuance

III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On May 8, 2017 (82 FR 21346), EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maine. The NPR proposed approval of
Maine's revised Chapter 119, Motor
[[Page 33013]]
Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits, that had been amended to require
retailers to sell reformulated gasoline (RFG) in the counties of York,
Cumberland, Sagadahoc, Androscoggin, Kennebec, Knox, and Lincoln
effective June 1, 2015. The formal SIP revision was submitted by the
Maine DEP on August 28, 2015. A detailed discussion of Maine's August
28, 2015 SIP revision and EPA's rationale for proposing approval of the
SIP revision were provided in the NPR and will not be restated in this
notice. No public comments were received on the NPR.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Maine's August 28, 2015 SIP revision.
Specifically, EPA is approving Maine's revised Chapter 119, Motor
Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits, and incorporating it into the Maine
SIP. EPA is approving this SIP revision because it meets all applicable
requirements of the Clean Air Act and relevant EPA guidance, and it
will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of the ozone NAAQS.
III. 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 of the State
of Maine's revised Chapter 119 described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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 application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide 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 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. 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
