Order 7400.11B is publicly available as
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this
document. FAA Order 7400.11B lists
Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas,
air traffic service routes, and reporting
points.
History
The FAA published a final rule in the
Federal Register (83 FR 26839, June 11,
2018) for Doc. No. FAA–2017–0755,
amending Class E airspace extending
upward from 700 feet or more above the
surface at Mid-State Airport,
Philipsburg, PA. Subsequent to
publication, the FAA found that in the
legal description describing the Class E
airspace area extending upward from
700 feet above the surface, the word
‘side’ was omitted from the text 3.1
miles each side of the Philipsburg
VORTAC 067° radial. This action
corrects the error.
Class E airspace designations are
published in paragraph 6005, of FAA
Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017,
and effective September 15, 2017, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR
part 71.1. The Class E airspace
designations listed in this document
will be published subsequently in the
Order.

On May 9, 2018, the EPA proposed to
approve submittals from Colorado,
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota
and Wyoming as meeting the interstate
transport requirements of CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2012 PM2.5
NAAQS (83 FR 21226). An explanation
of the CAA requirements, a detailed
analysis of the states’ submittals, and
the EPA’s rationale for approval of each
submittal were all provided in the
notice of proposed rulemaking and
associated technical support documents,
and will not be restated here. The public
comment period for this proposed rule
ended on June 8, 2018. The EPA
received four anonymous comments on
the proposal.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and do 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, 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 CAA; and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

• 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, these SIPs are 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 September 4,
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).)

The background for this action is

significantly to nonattainment in, or
interfere with maintenance by, any
other state with regard to the 2012 PM2.5
NAAQS.
We received three anonymous public
comments on the proposed rulemaking
action. The comments are posted to the

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
portions of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from Colorado,
Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming addressing the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act) interstate transport SIP requirements for the 2012
annual Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). These submissions address the requirement
that each SIP contain adequate provisions prohibiting air emissions
that will have certain adverse air quality effects in other states. The
EPA is approving portions of these infrastructure SIPs for the
aforementioned states as containing adequate provisions to ensure that
air emissions in the states will not significantly contribute to
nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2012 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS in any other state.
DATES: This rule is effective on August 6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
On May 9, 2018, the EPA proposed to approve submittals from
Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming as meeting
the interstate transport requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
for the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS (83 FR 21226). An explanation of
the CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the states' submittals,
and the EPA's rationale for approval of each submittal were all
provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking and associated technical
support documents, and will not be restated here. The public comment
period for this proposed rule ended on June 8, 2018. The EPA received
four anonymous comments on the proposal.
II. Response to Comments
After reviewing the comments received, the EPA has determined that
the comments fall outside the scope of our proposed action or fail to
identify any material issue necessitating a response.
III. Final Action
The EPA is approving the following submittals as meeting the
interstate transport requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for
the 2012 PM2.5
[[Page 31329]]
NAAQS: Colorado's December 1, 2015 submittal; Montana's December 17,
2015 submittal; North Dakota's August 23, 2015 submittal; South
Dakota's January 25, 2016 submittal; and Wyoming's June 24, 2016
submittal. This action is being taken under section 110 of the CAA.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and do
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, 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 CAA; 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, these SIPs are 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 September 4, 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).)
