SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What are the errors being corrected?
This rule corrects errors in the
regulatory text designating certain areas
for the 2015 ozone NAAQS as provided
in the designation rules signed by the
EPA Administrator on November 6,
2017 (November 16, 2017; 82 FR 54232),
and on April 30, 2018 (June 4, 2018; 83
FR 25776). The EPA is correcting the
errors consistent with the rulemaking
record. The affected areas are located in
California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Virginia. The corrections for each
state are discussed below and the
corrected regulatory text is provided at
the end of this action.
California
The EPA is correcting two errors in
the regulatory table for California for
designations promulgated in the April
30, 2018, ozone designations rule. The
EPA is moving the entry for the ‘‘Butte
County, CA’’ nonattainment area so that
the area will be listed in alphabetical
order and, thus, will be listed before the
entry for the ‘‘Calaveras County, CA’’
nonattainment area. The EPA is also
correcting a typographical error in the
entry for the ‘‘Pechanga Band of Luisen˜o
Mission Indians of the Pechanga
Reservation’’ nonattainment area by
revising ‘‘Pu’eskaMountain’’ to read
‘‘Pu’eska Mountain.’’
Illinois
The EPA is correcting the regulatory
table for Illinois to include McHenry

County and Monroe County as
attainment/unclassifiable areas. The
EPA is adding those counties to the
regulatory table, consistent with the
rulemaking record for the April 30,
2018, ozone designations rule. The EPA
is also moving the entry for ‘‘Bond
County’’ so that it will be listed in
alphabetical order and, thus, will be
listed before the entry for ‘‘Boone
County.’’
McHenry County, Illinois, is part of
the Chicago-Naperville, Illinois-IndianaWisconsin (IL-IN-WI), Combined
Statistical Area (CSA).1 The EPA’s final
Technical Support Document (TSD) for
the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI
nonattainment area states that, ‘‘EPA’s
area of analysis is the ChicagoNaperville, IL-IN-WI CSA, which
includes the following 19 counties:
Bureau, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage, Grundy,
Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle,
McHenry, Putnam, and Will in Illinois,
Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, and
Porter in Indiana, and Kenosha in
Wisconsin. The EPA applied the five
factors recommended in its guidance to
the area of analysis to determine the
nonattainment boundary.’’ In the TSD
section, ‘‘Conclusion for the Chicago, ILIN-WI Area,’’ the EPA identified the
portions of Illinois that were being
designated as part of the nonattainment
area and stated, ‘‘All remaining Illinois
portions of the Chicago-Naperville, ILIN-WI CSA are designated consistent
with the Illinois’ recommendations as
attainment/unclassifiable for the 2015
ozone NAAQS: Bureau, DeKalb,
Kankakee, LaSalle, McHenry, and
Putnam Counties.* * *’’ The EPA’s
final TSD for the Chicago-Naperville, ILIN-WI nonattainment area is located in
the docket for the April 30, 2018,
designations rule (document number
EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548-0418) and is
the key document setting forth the
designations for the Chicago-Naperville,
IL-IN-WI CSA.
Monroe County, Illinois, is part of the
St. Louis, Missouri-Illinois (MO-IL) Core
Based Statistical Area (CBSA). The
EPA’s final TSD for the St. Louis, MOIL nonattainment area states, ‘‘The EPA

OMB. The EPA used the July 2015 update (OMB
Bulletin No. 15–01), which is based on application
of the 2010 OMB standards to the 2010 Census,

appropriate starting point for the
contribution analysis for the St. Louis
area to ensure that the nearby areas most
likely to contribute to a violating area
are evaluated. The area-specific analyses
may support nonattainment boundaries
that are smaller or larger than the CBSA.
The St. Louis CBSA includes the
counties of Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln,
St. Charles, and St. Louis, Warren, and
the City of St. Louis, in Missouri as well
as the counties of Bond, Calhoun,
Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison,
Monroe, and St. Clair in Illinois.’’ In the
TSD section, ‘‘Conclusion for the St.
Louis MO-IL Area,’’ the EPA identified
the portions of Illinois that were being
designated as part of the nonattainment
area and stated, ‘‘The EPA is designating
the remaining Franklin County,
excluding Boles Township, Jefferson,
Lincoln and Warren Counties in
Missouri and Bond, Calhoun, Clinton,
Jersey, Macoupin and Monroe Counties
in Illinois as attainment/unclassifiable
for the 2015 ozone NAAQS.’’ The EPA’s

Indiana
The EPA is correcting the regulatory
table for Indiana to include Scott
County, Union County, and Washington
County as attainment/unclassifiable
areas. The EPA is adding those counties
to the regulatory table, consistent with
the rulemaking record for the April 30,
2018, ozone designation rule.
Scott County, Indiana, and
Washington County, Indiana, are part of
the Louisville/Jefferson County—
Elizabethtown—Madison, KentuckyIndiana (KY-IN) CSA. The EPA’s final
TSD for the Louisville, KY-IN
nonattainment area states that, ‘‘The
area of analysis for the Louisville, KYIN area included the Louisville/Jefferson
County—Elizabethtown—Madison, KYIN CSA. The Louisville/Jefferson
County—Elizabethtown—Madison, KYIN CSA is comprised of the following
counties: Bullitt County (KY); Hardin

the area of analysis to determine the
nonattainment area boundary.’’ In the
TSD section, ‘‘Conclusion for Louisville,
KY-IN Area,’’ the EPA identified the
portions of Indiana that were being
designated as part of the nonattainment
area and stated, ‘‘The EPA is not
including the remaining analyzed
counties within the nonattainment
boundary of the Louisville, KY-IN
nonattainment area.’’ The EPA’s final
TSD for the Louisville, KY-IN
nonattainment area is located in the

the key document setting forth the
designations for the Indiana counties in
the Louisville/Jefferson County—
Elizabethtown—Madison, KY-IN CSA.
Union County, Indiana is part of the
Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville, OhioKentucky-Indiana (OH-KY-IN) CSA. The
EPA’s final TSD for Cincinnati, OH-KYIN area states that, ‘‘For the Cincinnati
area, the starting point for the analysis
(the area of analysis), is the CincinnatiWilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-IN
CSA. . . . The Cincinnati-WilmingtonMaysville, OH-KY-IN CSA includes the

and Warren County (OH). The EPA
applied the five factors recommended in
its guidance to the area of analysis to
determine the nonattainment
boundary.’’ In the TSD section,
‘‘Conclusion for the Cincinnati Area,’’
the EPA stated, ‘‘The EPA is not
modifying the states’ recommendations
for nonattainment boundaries. Based on
the assessment of factors described
previously, the EPA has concluded that
the following counties or portions of
counties meet the CAA criteria for

the docket for the April 30, 2018,
designations rule (document number
EPA–HQ–OAR–2017–0548–0397) and is
the key document setting forth the
designations for the Indiana counties in
the Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville,
OH-KY-IN CSA.
In a letter from the EPA Administrator
to the governor of Indiana, sent at the
same time the April 30, 2018, rule was
signed, the EPA identified the counties
the EPA was designating as
nonattainment as part of the Chicago,
IL-IN-WI and Louisville, KY-IN
nonattainment areas and stated that the
remaining portions of Indiana, which
includes Scott County, Union County
and Washington County, were being
designated as attainment/unclassifiable.
Kentucky
The EPA is correcting two errors in
the regulatory table for Kentucky
designations promulgated in the April
30, 2018, ozone designations rule. The
EPA is moving the entry for ‘‘Mason
County’’ so that it will be listed in
alphabetical order and, thus, will be
listed before the entry for ‘‘Meade
County.’’ The EPA is also correcting a
typographical error by revising ‘‘Larue
County’’ to read ‘‘LaRue County.’’
Michigan
The EPA is correcting three errors in
the regulatory table for Michigan for
designations promulgated in the April
30, 2018, ozone designations rule. In the
regulatory table for Michigan, the EPA
is correcting a typographical error in the
boundary description for the partial
Allegan County, Michigan,
nonattainment area by revising ‘‘Manlus
Township’’ to read ‘‘Manlius
Township.’’ The EPA is moving the
entry for ‘‘Alger County’’ so that it will
be listed in alphabetical order and, thus,
will be listed before the entry for
‘‘Allegan County (part) remainder.’’ The
EPA is moving the entry for ‘‘Sanilac
County’’ so that it will be listed in
alphabetical order and, thus, will be
listed before the entry for ‘‘Schoolcraft
County.’’
Montana
In the November 6, 2017, designations
rule, the EPA regulatory table identified
all the counties in Montana as a single
statewide attainment/unclassifiable
area. The state of Montana subsequently
notified the EPA that on September 21,
2016, it had recommended the
E:\FR\FM\16OCR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 16, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
designations to be on a county-bycounty basis rather than as a statewide
area. In the preamble for the November
6, 2017, designations rule, the EPA
stated, ‘‘The EPA is promulgating these
designations for 2,649 counties
including Indian Country located in
those counties, two separate areas of
Indian Country, and five territories
without notice-and-comment, because
we believe that the designations
pursuant to this final action are
noncontroversial and the designations
are consistent with the
recommendations of the states and
tribes in which these counties and tribal
lands are located.’’ The EPA is
correcting the regulatory table for
Montana to list each county separately
with a designation of attainment/
unclassifiable, consistent with
Montana’s September 21, 2016,
recommendation.

Ohio
The EPA is correcting the regulatory
table for Ohio to include Carroll County
as an attainment/unclassifiable area.
The EPA is adding the county to the
regulatory table, consistent with the
rulemaking record for the April 30,
2018, ozone designation rule.
Carroll County, Ohio, is part of the
Cleveland-Akron-Canton, Ohio CSA.
The EPA’s final TSD for Ohio states
that, ‘‘For the Cleveland area, the
starting point for the area of analysis is
the Cleveland-Akron-Canton, Ohio CSA
which includes the following counties:
Erie, Huron, Lorain, Medina, Summit,
Stark, Carroll, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga,
Portage, Ashtabula, and Tuscarawas.’’ In
the TSD section, ‘‘Conclusion for the
Cleveland Area,’’ the EPA stated, ‘‘After
evaluating the five factors, the EPA is
not modifying the State’s
recommendation and is designating
Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain,
Medina, Portage, and Summit Counties
as the Cleveland nonattainment area for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS.’’ The EPA’s
final TSD for Ohio is located in the
docket for the April 30, 2018,
designations rule (document number
EPA–HQ–OAR–2017–0548–0381) and is
the key document setting forth the
designations for the counties in Ohio.
In a letter from the EPA Administrator
to the governor of Ohio, sent at the same
time the April 30, 2018, rule was signed,
the EPA identified the counties the EPA
was designating as nonattainment as
part of the Cincinnati, OH–KY,
Cleveland, Ohio, and Columbus, Ohio
nonattainment areas and provided that
the remaining portions of Ohio, which
includes Carroll County, were being
designated as attainment/unclassifiable.

Pennsylvania
In the April 30, 2018, designations
rule, the EPA did not include Carbon,
Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Pike
Counties in the designation regulatory
table for Pennsylvania. The EPA is
adding those counties to the table
consistent with the rulemaking record.
These five counties are part of the New
York-Newark, New York-New JerseyConnecticut-Pennsylvania (NY-NJ-CTPA) CSA. The EPA’s final TSD for the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long
Island, NY-NJ-CT nonattainment area
states that the area of analysis is the
CSA, with the additional county of
Middlesex in Connecticut. The
nonattainment area is also referred to as
the New York Metro Nonattainment
Area. In the final TSD section
‘‘Conclusion for The New York Metro
Area,’’ the EPA states, ‘‘The counties of
Dutchess, Orange, Putnam and Ulster in
New York; Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe,
Northampton and Pike in Pennsylvania
are being excluded from the New York
Metro nonattainment area. . . . .’’ The
EPA’s final TSD for New York-Northern
New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT
nonattainment area is located in the
docket for April 30, 2018, designation
rule (document number EPA–HQ–OAR–
0548–0411).
In a letter from the EPA Administrator
to the governor of Pennsylvania, sent at
the same time the April 30, 2018, rule
was signed, the EPA summarized the
portions of Pennsylvania that the agency
was designating. The EPA identified the
counties in Pennsylvania that were
being designated as nonattainment as
part of the Philadelphia-WilmingtonAtlantic City, PA-NJ-MD-DE
nonattainment area and provided that
the remaining portions of the state,
which includes Carbon, Lehigh,
Monroe, Northampton and Pike
Counties, were being designated as
attainment/unclassifiable.
Virginia
In the April 30, 2018, designation
rule, the EPA listed two areas out of
order in the designation regulatory table
for Virginia. To correct the formatting
error, the EPA is moving the entries for
the ‘‘Fredericksburg City’’ and
‘‘Winchester City’’ attainment/
unclassifiable areas to list them
alphabetically with the other
independent cities that are designated
as attainment/unclassifiable. Thus, the
‘‘Fredericksburg City’’ attainment/
unclassifiable area will be listed after
the entry for ‘‘Franklin City’’
attainment/unclassifiable area and the
‘‘Winchester City’’ attainment/

II. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action is exempt from review by
the OMB because it responds to the
CAA requirement to promulgate air
quality designations after promulgation
of a new or revised NAAQS.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory
Costs
This action is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because actions
such as air quality designations
associated with a new or revised
NAAQS are exempt from review under
Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
PRA. In this action, the EPA is
correcting errors in the regulatory text
regarding the designation of certain
areas for the 2015 ozone NAAQS
consistent with the rulemaking record.
This action does not contain any
information collection activities.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This designation action under Clean
Air Act (CAA) section 107(d) is not
subject to the RFA. The RFA applies
only to rules subject to notice-andcomment rulemaking requirements
under the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other
statute. Section 107(d)(2)(B) of the CAA
explicitly provides that designations are
exempt from the notice-and-comment
provisions of the APA. In addition,
designations under CAA section 107(d)
are not among the list of actions that are
subject to the notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirements of CAA
section 307(d).
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)
This action does not contain any
unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538 and does
not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. The action imposes no
enforceable duty on any state, local or
tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
E:\FR\FM\16OCR1.SGM
16OCR1
52160
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 200 / Tuesday, October 16, 2018 / Rules and Regulations
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. The division of
responsibility between the federal
government and the states for purposes
of implementing the NAAQS is
established under the CAA.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have tribal
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13175. This action corrects errors
in the regulatory tables in the ozone
designation rules signed by the EPA
Administrator on November 6, 2017,
and April 30, 2018. The corrections are
consistent with the rulemaking record.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 as applying to those regulatory
actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that the EPA has
reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory
action’’ in section 2–202 of the
Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not establish an
environmental standard intended to
mitigate health or safety risks.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
This action does not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority populations, low-income
populations and/or indigenous peoples,
as specified in Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This
action corrects errors in the regulatory
text regarding the designation of certain
areas in for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The
corrections are consistent with the
rulemaking record for the designation
rules signed by the EPA Administrator
on November 6, 2017, and April 30,
2018.
L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and
the EPA will submit a rule report to

Air Quality Designations for the 2015 Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards; Corrections
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Correcting amendments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is correcting errors
in the regulatory text regarding the designation of certain areas in
nine states for the 2015 ozone national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS). The designation rules were signed by the EPA Administrator on
November 6, 2017, and April 30, 2018. The errors include typographical
and formatting errors and the omission from the regulatory tables of
several counties designated as attainment/unclassifiable. The EPA is
correcting the errors consistent with the rulemaking record. The
affected areas are located in California, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is November 15, 2018.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for the designation actions
for the 2015 ozone NAAQS under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548. All
documents in the docket are listed in the index at https://www.regulations.gov. Although listed in the index, some information is
not publicly available, i.e., Confidential Business Information or
other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain
other material, such as copyrighted material, is not placed on the
internet and will be publicly available only in hard copy form.
Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically
in the docket or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, EPA WJC West
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, DC. The
Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. What are the errors being corrected?
This rule corrects errors in the regulatory text designating
certain areas for the 2015 ozone NAAQS as provided in the designation
rules signed by the EPA Administrator on November 6, 2017 (November 16,
2017; 82 FR 54232), and on April 30, 2018 (June 4, 2018; 83 FR 25776).
The EPA is correcting the errors consistent with the rulemaking record.
The affected areas are located in California, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. The
corrections for each state are discussed below and the corrected
regulatory text is provided at the end of this action.
California
The EPA is correcting two errors in the regulatory table for
California for designations promulgated in the April 30, 2018, ozone
designations rule. The EPA is moving the entry for the ``Butte County,
CA'' nonattainment area so that the area will be listed in alphabetical
order and, thus, will be listed before the entry for the ``Calaveras
County, CA'' nonattainment area. The EPA is also correcting a
typographical error in the entry for the ``Pechanga Band of
Luise[ntilde]o Mission Indians of the Pechanga Reservation''
nonattainment area by revising ``Pu'eskaMountain'' to read ``Pu'eska
Mountain.''
Illinois
The EPA is correcting the regulatory table for Illinois to include
McHenry County and Monroe County as attainment/unclassifiable areas.
The EPA is adding those counties to the regulatory table, consistent
with the rulemaking record for the April 30, 2018, ozone designations
rule. The EPA is also moving the entry for ``Bond County'' so that it
will be listed in alphabetical order and, thus, will be listed before
the entry for ``Boone County.''
McHenry County, Illinois, is part of the Chicago-Naperville,
Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin (IL-IN-WI), Combined Statistical Area
(CSA).\1\ The EPA's final Technical Support Document (TSD) for the
Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI nonattainment area states that, ``EPA's
area of analysis is the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI CSA, which
includes the following 19 counties: Bureau, Cook, DeKalb, DuPage,
Grundy, Kane, Kankakee, Kendall, Lake, LaSalle, McHenry, Putnam, and
Will in Illinois, Jasper, Lake, LaPorte, Newton, and Porter in Indiana,
and Kenosha in Wisconsin. The EPA applied the five factors recommended
in its guidance to the area of analysis to determine the nonattainment
boundary.'' In the TSD section, ``Conclusion for the Chicago, IL-IN-WI
Area,'' the EPA identified the portions of Illinois that were being
designated as part of the nonattainment area and stated, ``All
remaining Illinois portions of the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI CSA are
designated consistent with the Illinois' recommendations as attainment/
unclassifiable for the 2015 ozone NAAQS: Bureau, DeKalb, Kankakee,
LaSalle, McHenry, and Putnam Counties.* * *'' The EPA's final TSD for
the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI nonattainment area is located in the
docket for the April 30, 2018, designations rule (document number EPA-
HQ-OAR-2017-0548-0418) and is the key document setting forth the
designations for the Chicago-Naperville, IL-IN-WI CSA.

standards for defining statistical areas. The statistical areas are
delineated based on United States Census Bureau data. The lists are
periodically updated by the OMB. The EPA used the July 2015 update
(OMB Bulletin No. 15-01), which is based on application of the 2010
OMB standards to the 2010 Census, 2006-2010 American Community
Survey, as well as 2013 Population Estimates Program data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monroe County, Illinois, is part of the St. Louis, Missouri-
Illinois (MO-IL) Core Based Statistical Area (CBSA). The EPA's final
TSD for the St. Louis, MO-IL nonattainment area states, ``The EPA
[[Page 52158]]
believes that using the CBSA \2\ is an appropriate starting point for
the contribution analysis for the St. Louis area to ensure that the
nearby areas most likely to contribute to a violating area are
evaluated. The area-specific analyses may support nonattainment
boundaries that are smaller or larger than the CBSA. The St. Louis CBSA
includes the counties of Franklin, Jefferson, Lincoln, St. Charles, and
St. Louis, Warren, and the City of St. Louis, in Missouri as well as
the counties of Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin, Madison,
Monroe, and St. Clair in Illinois.'' In the TSD section, ``Conclusion
for the St. Louis MO-IL Area,'' the EPA identified the portions of
Illinois that were being designated as part of the nonattainment area
and stated, ``The EPA is designating the remaining Franklin County,
excluding Boles Township, Jefferson, Lincoln and Warren Counties in
Missouri and Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey, Macoupin and Monroe
Counties in Illinois as attainment/unclassifiable for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS.'' The EPA's final TSD for the St. Louis MO-IL Area nonattainment
area is located in the docket for the April 30, 2018, designations rule
(document number EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0548-0416) and is the key document
setting forth the designations for the St. Louis CBSA.

which is based on application of the 2010 OMB standards to the 2010
Census, 2006-2010 American Community Survey, as well as 2013
Population Estimates Program data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Indiana
The EPA is correcting the regulatory table for Indiana to include
Scott County, Union County, and Washington County as attainment/
unclassifiable areas. The EPA is adding those counties to the
regulatory table, consistent with the rulemaking record for the April
30, 2018, ozone designation rule.
Scott County, Indiana, and Washington County, Indiana, are part of
the Louisville/Jefferson County--Elizabethtown--Madison, Kentucky-
Indiana (KY-IN) CSA. The EPA's final TSD for the Louisville, KY-IN
nonattainment area states that, ``The area of analysis for the
Louisville, KY-IN area included the Louisville/Jefferson County--
Elizabethtown--Madison, KY-IN CSA. The Louisville/Jefferson County--
Elizabethtown--Madison, KY-IN CSA is comprised of the following
counties: Bullitt County (KY); Hardin County (KY); Henry County (KY);
Jefferson County (KY); Larue County (KY); Meade County (KY); Nelson
County (KY); Oldham County (KY); Shelby County (KY); Spencer County
(KY); Trimble County (KY); Clark County (IN); Floyd County (IN);
Harrison County (IN); Jefferson County (IN); Scott County (IN); and
Washington County (IN). The EPA applied the five factors recommended in
its guidance to the area of analysis to determine the nonattainment
area boundary.'' In the TSD section, ``Conclusion for Louisville, KY-IN
Area,'' the EPA identified the portions of Indiana that were being
designated as part of the nonattainment area and stated, ``The EPA is
not including the remaining analyzed counties within the nonattainment
boundary of the Louisville, KY-IN nonattainment area.'' The EPA's final
TSD for the Louisville, KY-IN nonattainment area is located in the
docket for the April 30, 2018, designations rule (document number EPA-
HQ-OAR-2017-0548-0396) and is the key document setting forth the
designations for the Indiana counties in the Louisville/Jefferson
County--Elizabethtown--Madison, KY-IN CSA.
Union County, Indiana is part of the Cincinnati-Wilmington-
Maysville, Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana (OH-KY-IN) CSA. The EPA's final TSD
for Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN area states that, ``For the Cincinnati area,
the starting point for the analysis (the area of analysis), is the
Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-IN CSA. . . . The Cincinnati-
Wilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-IN CSA includes the following counties:
Dearborn County (IN), Ohio County (IN), Union County (IN), Boone County
(KY), Bracken County (KY), Campbell County (KY), Gallatin County (KY),
Grant County (KY), Kenton County (KY), Mason County (KY), Pendleton
County (KY), Brown County (OH), Butler County (OH), Clermont County
(OH), Clinton County (OH), Hamilton County (OH), and Warren County
(OH). The EPA applied the five factors recommended in its guidance to
the area of analysis to determine the nonattainment boundary.'' In the
TSD section, ``Conclusion for the Cincinnati Area,'' the EPA stated,
``The EPA is not modifying the states' recommendations for
nonattainment boundaries. Based on the assessment of factors described
previously, the EPA has concluded that the following counties or
portions of counties meet the CAA criteria for inclusion in the
Cincinnati nonattainment area: Butler, Clermont, Hamilton and Warren in
Ohio and the parts of Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties in Kentucky
identified in Kentucky's recommendation.'' No Indiana counties were
included in the Cincinnati nonattainment area. The EPA's final TSD for
the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN nonattainment area is located in the docket
for the April 30, 2018, designations rule (document number EPA-HQ-OAR-
2017-0548-0397) and is the key document setting forth the designations
for the Indiana counties in the Cincinnati-Wilmington-Maysville, OH-KY-
IN CSA.
In a letter from the EPA Administrator to the governor of Indiana,
sent at the same time the April 30, 2018, rule was signed, the EPA
identified the counties the EPA was designating as nonattainment as
part of the Chicago, IL-IN-WI and Louisville, KY-IN nonattainment areas
and stated that the remaining portions of Indiana, which includes Scott
County, Union County and Washington County, were being designated as
attainment/unclassifiable.
Kentucky
The EPA is correcting two errors in the regulatory table for
Kentucky designations promulgated in the April 30, 2018, ozone
designations rule. The EPA is moving the entry for ``Mason County'' so
that it will be listed in alphabetical order and, thus, will be listed
before the entry for ``Meade County.'' The EPA is also correcting a
typographical error by revising ``Larue County'' to read ``LaRue
County.''
Michigan
The EPA is correcting three errors in the regulatory table for
Michigan for designations promulgated in the April 30, 2018, ozone
designations rule. In the regulatory table for Michigan, the EPA is
correcting a typographical error in the boundary description for the
partial Allegan County, Michigan, nonattainment area by revising
``Manlus Township'' to read ``Manlius Township.'' The EPA is moving the
entry for ``Alger County'' so that it will be listed in alphabetical
order and, thus, will be listed before the entry for ``Allegan County
(part) remainder.'' The EPA is moving the entry for ``Sanilac County''
so that it will be listed in alphabetical order and, thus, will be
listed before the entry for ``Schoolcraft County.''
Montana
In the November 6, 2017, designations rule, the EPA regulatory
table identified all the counties in Montana as a single statewide
attainment/unclassifiable area. The state of Montana subsequently
notified the EPA that on September 21, 2016, it had recommended the
[[Page 52159]]
designations to be on a county-by-county basis rather than as a
statewide area. In the preamble for the November 6, 2017, designations
rule, the EPA stated, ``The EPA is promulgating these designations for
2,649 counties including Indian Country located in those counties, two
separate areas of Indian Country, and five territories without notice-
and-comment, because we believe that the designations pursuant to this
final action are noncontroversial and the designations are consistent
with the recommendations of the states and tribes in which these
counties and tribal lands are located.'' The EPA is correcting the
regulatory table for Montana to list each county separately with a
designation of attainment/unclassifiable, consistent with Montana's
September 21, 2016, recommendation.
Ohio
The EPA is correcting the regulatory table for Ohio to include
Carroll County as an attainment/unclassifiable area. The EPA is adding
the county to the regulatory table, consistent with the rulemaking
record for the April 30, 2018, ozone designation rule.
Carroll County, Ohio, is part of the Cleveland-Akron-Canton, Ohio
CSA. The EPA's final TSD for Ohio states that, ``For the Cleveland
area, the starting point for the area of analysis is the Cleveland-
Akron-Canton, Ohio CSA which includes the following counties: Erie,
Huron, Lorain, Medina, Summit, Stark, Carroll, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga,
Portage, Ashtabula, and Tuscarawas.'' In the TSD section, ``Conclusion
for the Cleveland Area,'' the EPA stated, ``After evaluating the five
factors, the EPA is not modifying the State's recommendation and is
designating Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit
Counties as the Cleveland nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS.'' The EPA's final TSD for Ohio is located in the docket for the
April 30, 2018, designations rule (document number EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-
0548-0381) and is the key document setting forth the designations for
the counties in Ohio.
In a letter from the EPA Administrator to the governor of Ohio,
sent at the same time the April 30, 2018, rule was signed, the EPA
identified the counties the EPA was designating as nonattainment as
part of the Cincinnati, OH-KY, Cleveland, Ohio, and Columbus, Ohio
nonattainment areas and provided that the remaining portions of Ohio,
which includes Carroll County, were being designated as attainment/
unclassifiable.
Pennsylvania
In the April 30, 2018, designations rule, the EPA did not include
Carbon, Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Pike Counties in the
designation regulatory table for Pennsylvania. The EPA is adding those
counties to the table consistent with the rulemaking record. These five
counties are part of the New York-Newark, New York-New Jersey-
Connecticut-Pennsylvania (NY-NJ-CT-PA) CSA. The EPA's final TSD for the
New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT nonattainment area
states that the area of analysis is the CSA, with the additional county
of Middlesex in Connecticut. The nonattainment area is also referred to
as the New York Metro Nonattainment Area. In the final TSD section
``Conclusion for The New York Metro Area,'' the EPA states, ``The
counties of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam and Ulster in New York; Carbon,
Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Pike in Pennsylvania are being excluded
from the New York Metro nonattainment area. . . . .'' The EPA's final
TSD for New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT
nonattainment area is located in the docket for April 30, 2018,
designation rule (document number EPA-HQ-OAR-0548-0411).
In a letter from the EPA Administrator to the governor of
Pennsylvania, sent at the same time the April 30, 2018, rule was
signed, the EPA summarized the portions of Pennsylvania that the agency
was designating. The EPA identified the counties in Pennsylvania that
were being designated as nonattainment as part of the Philadelphia-
Wilmington-Atlantic City, PA-NJ-MD-DE nonattainment area and provided
that the remaining portions of the state, which includes Carbon,
Lehigh, Monroe, Northampton and Pike Counties, were being designated as
attainment/unclassifiable.
Virginia
In the April 30, 2018, designation rule, the EPA listed two areas
out of order in the designation regulatory table for Virginia. To
correct the formatting error, the EPA is moving the entries for the
``Fredericksburg City'' and ``Winchester City'' attainment/
unclassifiable areas to list them alphabetically with the other
independent cities that are designated as attainment/unclassifiable.
Thus, the ``Fredericksburg City'' attainment/unclassifiable area will
be listed after the entry for ``Franklin City'' attainment/
unclassifiable area and the ``Winchester City'' attainment/
unclassifiable area will be listed after the entry for ``Williamsburg
City'' attainment/unclassifiable area.
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is exempt from review by the OMB because it responds to
the CAA requirement to promulgate air quality designations after
promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action
because actions such as air quality designations associated with a new
or revised NAAQS are exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. In this action, the EPA is correcting errors in the regulatory
text regarding the designation of certain areas for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS consistent with the rulemaking record. This action does not
contain any information collection activities.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This designation action under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 107(d) is
not subject to the RFA. The RFA applies only to rules subject to
notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements under the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. Section
107(d)(2)(B) of the CAA explicitly provides that designations are
exempt from the notice-and-comment provisions of the APA. In addition,
designations under CAA section 107(d) are not among the list of actions
that are subject to the notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements of
CAA section 307(d).
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national
[[Page 52160]]
government and the states, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government. The division
of responsibility between the federal government and the states for
purposes of implementing the NAAQS is established under the CAA.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
This action does not have tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action corrects errors in the regulatory
tables in the ozone designation rules signed by the EPA Administrator
on November 6, 2017, and April 30, 2018. The corrections are consistent
with the rulemaking record. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an environmental
standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income
populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action corrects errors in
the regulatory text regarding the designation of certain areas in for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS. The corrections are consistent with the
rulemaking record for the designation rules signed by the EPA
Administrator on November 6, 2017, and April 30, 2018.
L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the U.S. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
