ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Maine on
August 18, 2015. This SIP revision
includes Maine’s revised regulation for
new motor vehicle emission standards.
Maine has updated its rule to be
consistent with various updates made to
California’s low emission vehicle (LEV)
program. Maine has adopted these
revisions to reduce emissions of volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen
oxides (NOX) in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), as well as to reduce greenhouse
gases. The intended effect of this action
is to approve Maine’s August 15, 2015
SIP revision. This action is being taken
in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
DATES: This rule is effective on October
10, 2017.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On June 23, 2017 (82 FR 28611), EPA
published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Maine. The NPR proposed approval of
Maine’s Chapter 127, ‘‘New Motor
Vehicle Emission Standards.’’ The
regulation establishes motor vehicle
emission standards for new gasoline
powered passenger cars, light-duty
trucks, medium-duty vehicles, as well
as for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The
regulation also requires that vehicles
display an environmental performance
label, and that aftermarket catalytic
converters be certified to the California
Air Resources Board (CARB) standards.
Maine has worked to ensure that their
program is identical to California’s, as
required by the CAA. The formal SIP
revision was submitted by Maine on
August 18, 2015.
A detailed discussion of Maine’s
August 18, 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.
EPA received several comments in
support of approving Maine’s SIP
revision in response to the NPR. No
adverse comments were received.

II. Final Action
EPA is approving Maine’s August 18,
2015 SIP revision. Specifically, EPA is
approving Maine’s revised Chapter 127,
‘‘New Motor Vehicle Emission
Standards,’’ 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 127
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
PO 00000
Frm 00002
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• 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 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 November 6,
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).)

III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On June 23, 2017 (82 FR 28611), EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maine. The NPR proposed approval of
Maine's Chapter 127, ``New Motor Vehicle Emission Standards.'' The
regulation establishes motor vehicle emission standards for new
gasoline powered passenger cars, light-duty trucks, medium-duty
vehicles, as well as for heavy-duty diesel vehicles. The regulation
also requires that vehicles display an environmental performance label,
and that aftermarket catalytic converters be certified to the
California Air Resources Board (CARB) standards. Maine has worked to
ensure that their program is identical to California's, as required by
the CAA. The formal SIP revision was submitted by Maine on August 18,
2015.
A detailed discussion of Maine's August 18, 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. EPA
received several comments in support of approving Maine's SIP revision
in response to the NPR. No adverse comments were received.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Maine's August 18, 2015 SIP revision.
Specifically, EPA is approving Maine's revised Chapter 127, ``New Motor
Vehicle Emission Standards,'' 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 127 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
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.
