V. 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, the EPA’s role is to
approve state choices, provided that
they meet the criteria of the Clean Air
Act. 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);
• is not expected to be an Executive
Order 13771 regulatory action because
this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866;
• 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
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).
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 proposed 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).

Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has
submitted updated regulations for
receiving delegation of EPA authority
for implementation and enforcement of
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for
all sources (both part 70 and non-part 70
sources). These regulations apply to
certain NESHAP promulgated by the

EPA, as amended between April 24,
2013 and August 3, 2016. The
delegation of authority under this action
does not apply to sources located in
Indian Country. The EPA is providing
notice proposing to approve the
delegation of certain NESHAPs to
TCEQ.
Written comments should be
received on or before February 12, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
identified by EPA–R06–OAR–2017–
0061, at https://www.regulations.gov or

instructions in the ADDRESSES section of

section of this issue of the Federal
Register.
DATES:
Mr.
Rick Barrett, (214) 665–7227; email:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
final rules section of this issue of the
Federal Register, the EPA is approving
TCEQ’s request for delegation of
authority to implement and enforce
certain NESHAP for all sources (both
part 70 and non-part 70 sources). TCEQ
has adopted certain NESHAP by
reference into Texas’s state regulations.
In addition, the EPA is waiving its
notification requirements so sources
will only need to send notifications and
reports to TCEQ. The EPA is taking
direct final action without prior
proposal because the EPA views this as
a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no adverse comments. A
detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the direct final rule. If no
relevant adverse comments are received
in response to this action, no further
activity is contemplated. If the EPA
receives relevant adverse comments, the
direct final rule will be withdrawn, and
all public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in
commenting should do so at this time.
For additional information, see the
direct final rule which is located in the
rules section of this issue of the Federal
Register.
