SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Sections 108 and 109 of the CAA
govern the establishment, review, and
revision, as appropriate, of the NAAQS
to protect public health and welfare.
The CAA requires periodic review of the
air quality criteria—the science upon
which the standards are based—and the
standards themselves. EPA’s regulatory
provisions that govern the NAAQS are
found at 40 CFR part 50—National
Primary and Secondary Ambient Air
Quality Standards.
In a proposed rulemaking published
on May 21, 2018 (83 FR 23407), EPA
proposed to approve into the Tennessee
SIP a portion of a revision to
Chattanooga/Hamilton County’s air
quality rules in Chapter 4 of Part II,
Section 4–41, submitted by TDEC on
behalf of the Chattanooga/Hamilton
County Air Pollution Control Bureau on
June 25, 2008. Specifically, EPA
proposed to approve a new version of
Chapter 4 of Part II, Section 4–41, Rule
21 of the Chattanooga City Code
E:\FR\FM\04OCR1.SGM
04OCR1
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 193 / Thursday, October 4, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
‘‘Ambient Air Quality Standards,’’ 1
which was updated to be consistent
with the Federal NAAQS in effect at the
time of the SIP submittal in 2008. The
details of Tennessee’s submission and
the rationale for EPA’s action are
explained in the proposed rulemaking.
Comments on the proposed rulemaking
were due on or before June 20, 2018.
EPA did not receive any adverse
comments on the proposed action. EPA
is now taking final action to approve the
above-referenced revision.
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
by reference of Chattanooga/Hamilton
Regulation Chapter 4 of Part II, Section
4–41, Rule 21, ‘‘Ambient Air Quality
Standards,’’ State effective on June 11,
2008. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these materials generally
available through www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please
contact the person identified in the ‘‘For
Further Information Contact’’ section of
this preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the
SIP, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking
of EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.2
III. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to approve
a change to the Chattanooga/Hamilton
County portion of the Tennessee SIP for
Chapter 4 of Part II, Section 4–41, Rule
21. EPA has evaluated the relevant
portion of Tennessee’s June 25, 2008,
SIP revision and has determined that it
meets the applicable requirements of the
CAA and EPA regulations.

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.
See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve State choices,

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 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).
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 as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
2 See
PO 00000
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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by December 3, 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).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What action is being addressed in this
document?
EPA is granting final approval of
Iowa’s request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the
2008 Pb NAAQS. On September 18,
2017, the State submitted a request for
redesignation that demonstrates NAAQS
attainment and an associated
maintenance plan to ensure that the area
continues to attain the standard. The
basis for EPA’s final approval is that the
area met the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) for approval as discussed
below.
II. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP submission been met?
On October 15, 2008, EPA
promulgated a revision to the Pb

NAAQS, lowering the standard from 1.5
micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3) to
0.15 mg/m3 (73 FR 66963). The State
conducted ambient air monitoring for
Pb in the Council Bluffs area near Pb
emitting facilities. The 2010 through
2012 design value for Pb at the monitor
was 0.26 mg/m3, violating the 2008 Pb
NAAQS.
Effective December 31, 2011, EPA
designated a portion of Pottawattamie
County, Council Bluffs, Iowa, as
nonattainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS
(76 FR 72097). EPA approved the State’s
SIP revision for the plan to bring the
area into attainment of the Pb NAAQS
in a Federal Register action dated
February 26, 2016 (81 FR 9770). The
area attained the 2008 Pb NAAQS by the
statutory deadline of December 31,
2016. The 2014 through 2016 design
value for the area is 0.10 mg/m3.
EPA’s proposed approval document
dated August 16, 2018, (83 FR 40728)
presents a detailed analysis of the CAA
requirements for redesignating a
nonattainment area to attainment.
Specifically, section 107(d)(3)(E) of the
CAA allows for redesignation provided
the following criteria are met: (1) The
Administrator determines that the area
has attained the applicable NAAQS; (2)
the Administrator has fully approved
the applicable implementation plan for
the area under section 110(k); (3) the
improvement in air quality is due to
permanent and enforceable reductions
in emissions resulting from
implementation of the applicable SIP
and applicable Federal air pollutant
control regulations and other permanent
and enforceable reductions; (4) the
Administrator has fully approved a
maintenance plan for the area as
meeting the requirements of section
175A; and (5) the State containing such
area has met all requirements applicable
to the area under section 110 and part
D of title I of the CAA. EPA believes the
area has met these criteria and that the

June 25, 2008. The changes to the SIP that EPA is taking final action
to approve include changes to Chattanooga/Hamilton County's air quality
standards for carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, particulate
matter, ozone, and sulfur dioxide to reflect the current National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The portions of the SIP revision
that EPA is approving are consistent with the requirements of the Clean

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Sections 108 and 109 of the CAA govern the establishment, review,
and revision, as appropriate, of the NAAQS to protect public health and
welfare. The CAA requires periodic review of the air quality criteria--
the science upon which the standards are based--and the standards
themselves. EPA's regulatory provisions that govern the NAAQS are found
at 40 CFR part 50--National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality
Standards.
In a proposed rulemaking published on May 21, 2018 (83 FR 23407),
EPA proposed to approve into the Tennessee SIP a portion of a revision
to Chattanooga/Hamilton County's air quality rules in Chapter 4 of Part
II, Section 4-41, submitted by TDEC on behalf of the Chattanooga/
Hamilton County Air Pollution Control Bureau on June 25, 2008.
Specifically, EPA proposed to approve a new version of Chapter 4 of
Part II, Section 4-41, Rule 21 of the Chattanooga City Code
[[Page 50023]]
``Ambient Air Quality Standards,'' \1\ which was updated to be
consistent with the Federal NAAQS in effect at the time of the SIP
submittal in 2008. The details of Tennessee's submission and the
rationale for EPA's action are explained in the proposed rulemaking.
Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due on or before June 20,
2018. EPA did not receive any adverse comments on the proposed action.
EPA is now taking final action to approve the above-referenced
revision.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA will consider the other changes included in Tennessee's
June 25, 2008, SIP revision in a future rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of Chattanooga/
Hamilton Regulation Chapter 4 of Part II, Section 4-41, Rule 21,
``Ambient Air Quality Standards,'' State effective on June 11, 2008.
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office
(please contact the person identified in the ``For Further Information
Contact'' section of this preamble for more information). Therefore,
these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to approve a change to the Chattanooga/
Hamilton County portion of the Tennessee SIP for Chapter 4 of Part II,
Section 4-41, Rule 21. EPA has evaluated the relevant portion of
Tennessee's June 25, 2008, SIP revision and has determined that it
meets the applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations.
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. See 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 CAA. 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 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).
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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by December 3, 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).
