YSAQMD’s public draft version of negative
declarations for four Control Techniques Guidelines
(CTG) documents along with a request for parallel
processing. Under the EPA’s parallel processing
procedure, the EPA proposes rulemaking action
concurrently with the state’s proposed rulemaking.

EPA for incorporation into the SIP. See 40 CFR part

adopted the four negative declarations on January

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 67 / Friday, April 6, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
We had previously proposed to
disapprove YSAQMD’s 2006 RACT
SIP,2 but withdrew that proposal 3
because we found that the District has
addressed the identified deficiencies by
adopting approvable rules that
implement RACT and by adopting
negative declarations where the District
concluded it had no sources subject to
RACT recommendations in certain
Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG)
categories.
Our proposed rule also stated that we
would not take final action until CARB
submitted the four adopted negative
declarations to the EPA as a SIP
revision. On January 10, 2018, the
YSAQMD held a public hearing and
approved the four negative declarations
and transmitted the approval package to
CARB for adoption and submittal to the
EPA. On February 22, 2018, the CARB
Executive Officer adopted and
submitted to the EPA for approval
YSAQMD’s negative declarations as a
revision to the California SIP, thereby
satisfying the prerequisite 4 for final
EPA action.
On March 7, 2018, we found the
negative declaration submittal met the
completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 52,
appendix V. Today, we take final action
to approve the 2006 RACT SIP
submitted on January 31, 2007, and the
four negative declarations submitted on
February 22, 2018.
For more background information on
the 2006 RACT SIP, four negative
declarations and our evaluation of them
for compliance with CAA requirements,
please see our proposed rule and related
technical support documents (TSDs).
II. Public Comments
The EPA’s proposed action provided
a 30-day public comment period. During
this period, we received two anonymous
comments.5 The commenters raised
issues that are outside of the scope of
this rulemaking, including wildfire
suppression, high-hazard potential
dams, maintenance of dams to reduce

73 FR 48166 (August 18, 2008).
83 FR 764 (January 8, 2018).
4 As explained in our January 8, 2018 proposed
rulemaking, the EPA is following established
procedures for parallel processing that allows us to
approve a state provision so long as it was adopted
as proposed with no significant changes. YSAQMD
adopted the four negative declarations, as proposed
in its parallel processing request to the EPA, with
no changes.
5 Between 2008–2009, YSAQMD submitted three
supplemental documents to partially address issues
raised in the EPA’s August 18, 2008 proposed
action (73 FR 48166). These supplemental
documents are filed under ‘‘comments’’ in the
docket at https://www.regulations.gov/
docket?D=EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0612. Only two
comments were received during the JanuaryFebruary 2018 public comment period.

chances of dam failure, and climate
change. The EPA is required to approve
a state submittal if the submittal meets
all applicable requirements. 42 U.S.C.
7410(k)(3). The commenters did not
raise any specific issues germane to the
approvability of the YSAQMD’s RACT
SIP and negative declarations.
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted that
change our assessment of the SIP
submittals as described in our January 8,
2018 proposed action. Therefore, as
authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the
Act, the EPA is fully approving
YSAQMD’s 2006 RACT SIP submitted
on January 31, 2007, and four negative
declarations submitted on February 22,
2018.
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, 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);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted 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
PO 00000
Frm 00023
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
14755
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
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 June 5, 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).)

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Proposed Action
On January 8, 2018 (83 FR 764), the EPA proposed to approve the
following documents submitted by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) into the California SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On December 22, 2017, CARB transmitted YSAQMD's public draft
version of negative declarations for four Control Techniques
Guidelines (CTG) documents along with a request for parallel
processing. Under the EPA's parallel processing procedure, the EPA
proposes rulemaking action concurrently with the state's proposed
rulemaking. If the state's proposed rule is changed, the EPA will
evaluate that subsequent change and may publish another notice of
proposed rulemaking. If no significant change is made, the EPA will
publish a final rulemaking on the rule after responding to any
submitted comments. Final rulemaking action by the EPA will occur
only after the rule has been fully adopted by California and
submitted formally to the EPA for incorporation into the SIP. See 40
CFR part 51, appendix V. The YSAQMD's Governing Board adopted the
four negative declarations on January 10, 2018.

[[Page 14755]]
We had previously proposed to disapprove YSAQMD's 2006 RACT SIP,\2\
but withdrew that proposal \3\ because we found that the District has
addressed the identified deficiencies by adopting approvable rules that
implement RACT and by adopting negative declarations where the District
concluded it had no sources subject to RACT recommendations in certain
Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) categories.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 73 FR 48166 (August 18, 2008).
\3\ See 83 FR 764 (January 8, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our proposed rule also stated that we would not take final action
until CARB submitted the four adopted negative declarations to the EPA
as a SIP revision. On January 10, 2018, the YSAQMD held a public
hearing and approved the four negative declarations and transmitted the
approval package to CARB for adoption and submittal to the EPA. On
February 22, 2018, the CARB Executive Officer adopted and submitted to
the EPA for approval YSAQMD's negative declarations as a revision to
the California SIP, thereby satisfying the prerequisite \4\ for final
EPA action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ As explained in our January 8, 2018 proposed rulemaking, the
EPA is following established procedures for parallel processing that
allows us to approve a state provision so long as it was adopted as
proposed with no significant changes. YSAQMD adopted the four
negative declarations, as proposed in its parallel processing
request to the EPA, with no changes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 7, 2018, we found the negative declaration submittal met
the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 52, appendix V. Today, we take
final action to approve the 2006 RACT SIP submitted on January 31,
2007, and the four negative declarations submitted on February 22,
2018.
For more background information on the 2006 RACT SIP, four negative
declarations and our evaluation of them for compliance with CAA
requirements, please see our proposed rule and related technical
support documents (TSDs).
II. Public Comments
The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received two anonymous comments.\5\ The
commenters raised issues that are outside of the scope of this
rulemaking, including wildfire suppression, high-hazard potential dams,
maintenance of dams to reduce chances of dam failure, and climate
change. The EPA is required to approve a state submittal if the
submittal meets all applicable requirements. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k)(3). The
commenters did not raise any specific issues germane to the
approvability of the YSAQMD's RACT SIP and negative declarations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Between 2008-2009, YSAQMD submitted three supplemental
documents to partially address issues raised in the EPA's August 18,
2008 proposed action (73 FR 48166). These supplemental documents are
filed under ``comments'' in the docket at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0612. Only two
comments were received during the January-February 2018 public
comment period.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the SIP
submittals as described in our January 8, 2018 proposed action.
Therefore, as authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is
fully approving YSAQMD's 2006 RACT SIP submitted on January 31, 2007,
and four negative declarations submitted on February 22, 2018.
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, 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);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted 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 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
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 June 5, 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).)
