Rules 130, 220, and 230 contain the
requirements for review and permitting
of individual stationary sources in the
NSCAPCD. We proposed to approve
these rules because we determined that
they comply with the relevant CAA
requirements. The changes the District
made to the rules listed above resolve
the limited disapproval issues identified
in a previous action. 81 FR 69390
(October 6, 2016). The EPA listed four
items that need addressing for the three
rules with limited approval to become
fully approved—listing lead as a
pollutant and indicating a significant
emission rate, requiring provisions for
air quality modeling based on
applicable models, databases, and other
requirements as specified in Part 51

IV. 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
NSCAPCD rules described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region IX Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the EPA
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 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 3, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:57 Jul 23, 2018
Jkt 244001
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, these rules do 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 these rules 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by September 24, 2018. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of these final rules does
not affect the finality of these rules 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 rules or action. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to

ACTION: Temporary rule; closure.
AGENCY:
NMFS implements
accountability measures (AMs) for
commercial snowy grouper in the
exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of the
South Atlantic. NMFS projects
commercial landings for snowy grouper
will reach the commercial annual catch
limit (ACL) by July 24, 2018. Therefore,
NMFS closes the commercial sector for
snowy grouper in the South Atlantic
EEZ on July 24, 2018, and it will remain
closed until the start of the next
commercial fishing season on January 1,
2019. This closure is necessary to
protect the snowy grouper resource.
DATES: This rule is effective 12:01 a.m.,
local time, July 24, 2018, until 12:01
a.m., local time, January 1, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
snapper-grouper fishery of the South
Atlantic includes snowy grouper and is
managed under the Fishery
Management Plan for the SnapperGrouper Fishery of the South Atlantic
Region (FMP). The FMP was prepared
by the South Atlantic Fishery
Management Council and is
implemented by NMFS under the
authority of the Magnuson-Stevens
Fishery Conservation and Management
Act (Magnuson-Stevens Act) by
regulations at 50 CFR part 622.

quota) for snowy grouper in the South

Atlantic is 144,315 lb (65,460 kg), gutted
weight, 170,291 lb (77,243 kg), round
weight, for the current fishing year,
January 1 through December 31, 2018,
as specified in 50 CFR 622.190(a)(1)(iv).
Under 50 CFR 622.193(b)(1), NMFS is
required to close the commercial sector
for snowy grouper when the commercial
quota is reached or projected to be
reached, by filing a notification to that
effect with the Office of the Federal
Register. NMFS projects that
commercial landings of South Atlantic
snowy grouper, as estimated by the
Science and Research Director, will
reach the commercial quota by July 24,
2018. Accordingly, the commercial
sector for South Atlantic snowy grouper
is closed effective 12:01 a.m., local time,
July 24, 2018, until 12:01 a.m., local
time, January 1, 2019.
The operator of a vessel with a valid
commercial vessel permit for South
Atlantic snapper-grouper having snowy
grouper on board must have landed and
bartered, traded, or sold such snowy
grouper prior to 12:01 a.m., local time,
July 24, 2018. During the commercial
closure, harvest and possession of
snowy grouper in or from the South
Atlantic EEZ is limited to the bag and
possession limits, as specified in
§ 622.187(b)(2)(ii) and (c)(1). Also
during the commercial closure, the sale
or purchase of snowy grouper taken
from the EEZ is prohibited. The
prohibition on sale or purchase does not
apply to the sale or purchase of snowy
grouper that were harvested, landed
ashore, and sold prior to 12:01 a.m.,
local time, July 24, 2018, and were held
in cold storage by a dealer or processor.
For a person on board a vessel for
which a Federal commercial or charter
vessel/headboat permit for the South
Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery has
been issued, the bag and possession
limits and the sale and purchase
provisions of the commercial closure for
snowy grouper would apply regardless
of whether the fish are harvested in state
or Federal waters, as specified in 50
CFR 622.190(c)(1)(ii).
Classification
The Regional Administrator,
Southeast Region, NMFS, has
determined this temporary rule is
necessary for the conservation and
management of snowy grouper and the
South Atlantic snapper-grouper fishery
and is consistent with the MagnusonStevens Act and other applicable laws.
This action is taken under 50 CFR
622.193(b)(1) and is exempt from review
under Executive Order 12866.
These measures are exempt from the
procedures of the Regulatory Flexibility
Act, because the temporary rule is

issued without opportunity for prior
notice and comment.
This action responds to the best
scientific information available. The
Assistant Administrator for NOAA
Fisheries (AA), finds that the need to
immediately implement this action to
close the commercial sector for snowy
grouper constitutes good cause to waive
the requirements to provide prior notice
and opportunity for public comment
pursuant to the authority set forth in 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(B), as such procedures
would be unnecessary and contrary to
the public interest. Such procedures are
unnecessary because the implementing
final rule for these AMs has already
been subject to notice and comment,
and all that remains is to notify the
public of the closure. Such procedures
are contrary to the public interest
because of the need to immediately
implement this action to protect snowy
grouper since the capacity of the fishing
fleet allows for rapid harvest of the
commercial quota. Prior notice and
opportunity for public comment would
require time and would potentially
result in a harvest well in excess of the
established commercial quota.
For the aforementioned reasons, the
AA also finds good cause to waive the
30-day delay in the effectiveness of this
action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

I. Proposed Action
On April 4, 2018, the EPA proposed an approval of Rules 130--
Definitions, 220--New Source Review, and 230--Action on Applications,
as noted in Table 1, submitted by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) for incorporation into the NSCAPCD portion of the California
SIP. 81 FR 69390. Table 1 also lists the dates the rules were adopted
by the NSCAPCD and submitted by CARB, which is the governor's designee
for California SIP submittals.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rules 130, 220, and 230 contain the requirements for review and
permitting of individual stationary sources in the NSCAPCD. We proposed
to approve these rules because we determined that they comply with the
relevant CAA requirements. The changes the District made to the rules
listed above resolve the limited disapproval issues identified in a
previous action. 81 FR 69390 (October 6, 2016). The EPA listed four
items that need addressing for the three rules with limited approval to
become fully approved--listing lead as a pollutant and indicating a
significant emission rate, requiring provisions for air quality
modeling based on applicable models, databases, and other requirements
as specified in Part 51 Appendix W, correcting a typographic error, and
including specific language regarding source obligations. The revisions
to the three submitted rules address these four deficiencies.
We are now finalizing approval of Rules 130, 220, and 230 because
we have determined these rules satisfy all of the statutory and
regulatory requirements for an NSR permit program (including the PSD
program) as set forth in the applicable provisions of part C of title I
of the Act and in 40 CFR 51.165 and 40 CFR 51.307.
Our proposed action contains more information on the rule and our
evaluation.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received six comments. Only one comment
pertained to the action. This comment was submitted by the NSCAPCD
expressing support for the EPA's proposed action. The NSCAPCD states
that this action will help the District maintain its portion of the
California SIP in good standing. The EPA thanks the NSCAPCD for its
support of our proposed action.
The comments have been added to the docket for this action and are
accessible at www.regulations.gov.
[[Page 34950]]
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as authorized in
section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving this rule into
the California SIP.
IV. 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
NSCAPCD rules described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the EPA 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 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 3,
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, these rules do 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 these rules 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 24, 2018. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of these final rules does not
affect the finality of these rules 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 rules or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See CAA section 307(b)(2).)
