Control strategy: Particulate
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).

(w) Determination of Attainment. EPA
has determined based on 2014 to 2016
ambient air quality monitoring data, that
the Lebanon County, Pennsylvania
moderate nonattainment area has
attained the 2012 annual fine particulate
matter (PM2.5) primary national ambient
air quality standard (NAAQS). This
determination, in accordance with 40
CFR 51.1015, suspends the
requirements for this area to submit an
attainment demonstration, associated
reasonably available control measures, a
reasonable further progress plan,
contingency measures, and other
planning state implementation plan
revisions related to attainment of the
standard for as long as this area
continues to meet the 2012 annual PM2.5
NAAQS.
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
[FR Doc. 2018–04424 Filed 3–5–18; 8:45 am]
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by May 7, 2018. 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 determining that the
Lebanon County Area attained the 2012
annual PM2.5 NAAQS may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section

II. Final Action
III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On December 5, 2017 (83 FR 57415),
EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) for the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
NPRM proposed approval of revisions to
310 Code of Massachusetts Regulations
(CMR) 7.30 Massachusetts Port
Authority (Massport)/Logan Airport
Parking Freeze. The formal SIP revision
was submitted by Massachusetts on July
13, 2017.
The revised 310 CMR 7.30 increases
the total number of commercial spaces
in the Logan Parking Freeze area by
5,000 spaces to a total of 26,088. In the
event that the remaining 702 park-andfly spaces in the East Boston Parking
Freeze cap were converted to
commercial spaces at Logan Airport in
the future, the maximum total number
of spaces permitted would be 26,790.
In addition, the revision requires
Massport to complete the following
studies within 24 months of June 30,
2017: (1) Potential improvements to
high occupancy vehicle access to Logan
Airport; (2) a cost and pricing
assessment for different modes of
transportation to and from Logan
Airport in order to generate revenue for
the promotion of high-occupancy
E:\FR\FM\06MRR1.SGM
06MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
vehicle (HOV) use by airport travelers
and visitors; and (3) the feasibility and
effectiveness of potential operational
measures to reduce non-HOV pick-up/
drop-off modes of transportation to
Logan Airport.
Finally, the revision allows Massport
to satisfy its annual reporting
requirements through its submission of
annual Environmental Data Reports or
similar airport-wide documents under
the Massachusetts Environmental Policy
Act (MEPA).
The rationale for EPA’s proposed
action is explained in the NPR and will
not be restated here. EPA received
comments from the Conservation Law
Foundation (CLF) in support of the
NPRM after the close of the comment
period, and they have been included in
the docket for this action. Initially, CLF
opposed the addition of 5,000
commercial parking spaces. However,
with the development of a binding
agreement between CLF and Massport,
CLF now supports this SIP revision due
to the agreed upon addition of
substantial transportation mitigation
measures and increased HOV targets.
The only comment received during the
public comment period was not
germane or specific to this rulemaking,
and did not state how or why the rule
should be changed. Therefore, no
additional response to the comment will
be provided here.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving revised 310 CMR
7.30 Massport/Logan Airport Parking
Freeze as a revision to the
Massachusetts SIP.
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 310 CMR
7.30 Massport/Logan Airport Parking
Freeze 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:02 Mar 05, 2018
Jkt 244001
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

that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a

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 May 7, 2018.
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

Table of Contents
I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On December 5, 2017 (83 FR 57415), EPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
NPRM proposed approval of revisions to 310 Code of Massachusetts
Regulations (CMR) 7.30 Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport)/Logan
Airport Parking Freeze. The formal SIP revision was submitted by
Massachusetts on July 13, 2017.
The revised 310 CMR 7.30 increases the total number of commercial
spaces in the Logan Parking Freeze area by 5,000 spaces to a total of
26,088. In the event that the remaining 702 park-and-fly spaces in the
East Boston Parking Freeze cap were converted to commercial spaces at
Logan Airport in the future, the maximum total number of spaces
permitted would be 26,790.
In addition, the revision requires Massport to complete the
following studies within 24 months of June 30, 2017: (1) Potential
improvements to high occupancy vehicle access to Logan Airport; (2) a
cost and pricing assessment for different modes of transportation to
and from Logan Airport in order to generate revenue for the promotion
of high-occupancy
[[Page 9439]]
vehicle (HOV) use by airport travelers and visitors; and (3) the
feasibility and effectiveness of potential operational measures to
reduce non-HOV pick-up/drop-off modes of transportation to Logan
Airport.
Finally, the revision allows Massport to satisfy its annual
reporting requirements through its submission of annual Environmental
Data Reports or similar airport-wide documents under the Massachusetts
Environmental Policy Act (MEPA).
The rationale for EPA's proposed action is explained in the NPR and
will not be restated here. EPA received comments from the Conservation
Law Foundation (CLF) in support of the NPRM after the close of the
comment period, and they have been included in the docket for this
action. Initially, CLF opposed the addition of 5,000 commercial parking
spaces. However, with the development of a binding agreement between
CLF and Massport, CLF now supports this SIP revision due to the agreed
upon addition of substantial transportation mitigation measures and
increased HOV targets. The only comment received during the public
comment period was not germane or specific to this rulemaking, and did
not state how or why the rule should be changed. Therefore, no
additional response to the comment will be provided here.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving revised 310 CMR 7.30 Massport/Logan Airport
Parking Freeze as a revision to the Massachusetts SIP.
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 310 CMR
7.30 Massport/Logan Airport Parking Freeze 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.
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 May 7, 2018. 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).)
