SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Infrastructure requirements for SIPs
are set forth in section 110(a)(1) and (2)
of the CAA. Section 110(a)(2) lists the
specific infrastructure elements that a
SIP must contain or satisfy. The
elements that are the subject of this
action are described in detail in our
notice of proposed rulemaking
published on June 6, 2017 (82 FR
26007).
In our proposed rule, the EPA
proposed to approve and take no action
on some infrastructure elements for the
2010 SO2 and 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS from
the State’s certifications.1 In this
rulemaking, we are taking final action to
approve infrastructure elements from
the State’s certifications.
II. Response to Comments
No comments were received on our
June 6, 2017 notice of proposed
rulemaking.
1 ‘‘Where an air agency determines that the
provisions in or referred to by its existing EPA
approved SIP are adequate with respect to a given
infrastructure SIP element (or subelement) even in
light of the promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS, the air agency may make a SIP submission
in the form of a certification.’’ EPA’s ‘‘Guidance on
Infrastructure State Implementation Plan (SIP)
Elements under Clean Air Act Sections 110(a)(1)
and (2),’’ September 13, 2013, at 7.

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
pmangrum on DSK3GDR082PROD with RULES
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, the 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);
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:11 Aug 15, 2017
Jkt 241001
• 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 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
PO 00000

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 October 16, 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 CAA
Section 307(b)(2)).

state which may be affected by
emissions from within the state. See 40
CFR 51.308(g). States are also required
to submit, at the same time as the
progress report, a determination of the
adequacy of the State’s existing SIP. See
40 CFR 51.308(h). The first progress
report is due five years after submittal
of the initial regional haze SIP. On
August 26, 2009, the Vermont
Department of Environmental
Conservation (VT DEC) submitted the
State’s first regional haze SIP in
accordance with the requirements of 40
CFR 51.308.2
On February 29, 2016, VT DEC
submitted a revision to the Vermont SIP
detailing the progress made in the first
planning period toward implementation
of the Long Term Strategy (LTS)
outlined in the Vermont’s 2009 regional
haze SIP submittal, the visibility
improvement measured at the State’s
one Class I area, and a determination of
the adequacy of the State’s existing
regional haze SIP. EPA is approving
Vermont’s February 29, 2016 SIP
revision on the basis that it satisfies the
requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and
(h).
II. EPA’s Evaluation of Vermont’s SIP
Revision
On February 29, 2016, Vermont
submitted its ‘‘Regional Haze Five-Year
Progress Report’’ (Progress Report) to
EPA as a SIP revision.
Vermont is home to one Class I area,
the Lye Brook Wilderness Area (Lye
Brook). During the regional haze
planning process, an area-of-influence
modeling analysis based on back
trajectories was used to assess
Vermont’s contribution to visibility
impairment at Lye Brook and other
Class I areas in other states.3 Based on
that were in existence on August 7, 1977 (42 U.S.C.
7472(a)). Listed at 40 CFR part 81, subpart D.

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
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, the 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);

National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272

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 October 16, 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 CAA Section 307(b)(2)).
