Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving the Limited
Maintenance Plan (LMP), submitted by
the State of Montana to the EPA on
August 3, 2016, for the Missoula
moderate particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal
to a nominal 10 micrometers (PM10)
nonattainment area (Missoula NAA) and
concurrently redesignating the Missoula
NAA to attainment of the 24-hour PM10
National Ambient Air Quality Standard
(NAAQS). In order to approve the LMP
and redesignation, the EPA is
determining that the Missoula NAA has
attained the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS
of 150 mg/m3. This determination is
based upon monitored air quality data
for the PM10 NAAQS during the years
2015–2017. The EPA is also approving
the Missoula LMP as meeting the
appropriate transportation conformity
requirements. Lastly, the EPA is
approving certain rule revisions the
Missoula City-County Air Pollution
Control Program submitted on August 3,
2016, and August 22, 2018.
DATES: Effective June 24, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA–R08–OAR–2018–0235. All

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA.
I. Background
The Missoula NAA encompasses the
City of Missoula and was designated
nonattainment for the 1987 24-hour
PM10 NAAQS and classified as
moderate under section 107(d)(4)(B),
following enactment of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) Amendments of 1990. See 56
FR 56694 (November 6, 1991). On
August 30, 1995, the EPA fully
approved the Missoula NAA PM10 plan
including reasonably available control
measures (RACM), an attainment
demonstration, emissions inventory,
quantitative milestones, and control and
contingency requirements.
The factual and legal background for
this action is discussed in detail in our
March 5, 2019 (84 FR 7846) proposed
approval of certain rule revisions to the
Missoula City-County Air Pollution
Control Program, the Missoula Limited
Maintenance Plan, the Missoula LMP as
meeting the appropriate transportation
conformity requirements, and
concurrent redesignation of the
Missoula NAA to attainment of the
NAAQS for PM10.
II. Response to Comments
The public comment period on the
EPA’s proposed rule opened on March
5, 2019, the date of its publicaction in
the Federal Register, (84 FR 7846), and
closed on April 4, 2019. During this
time, the EPA received no comments.
III. Final Action
The EPA is making the determination
that the Missoula NAA has attained the
1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS of 150 mg/
m3. This determination is based upon
monitored air quality data for the PM10
NAAQS during the years 2015–2017.
Additionally, the EPA is approving the
Missoula NAA LMP submitted on
August 3, 2016, as meeting the
applicable CAA requirements, and we
have determined the LMP to be
sufficient to provide for maintenance of
the PM10 NAAQS over the course of the
10-year maintenance period out to 2029.
The EPA is also approving the Missoula
LMP as meeting the appropriate
transportation conformity requirements
found in 40 CFR 93, subpart A. The EPA
is approving most of the revisions
submitted on August 3, 2016 and
August 22, 2018 (Chapter 4 revisions).
Specifically, the EPA is approving
revisions to the eight chapters on
PO 00000
Frm 00047
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
24037
Definitions, Failure to Attain Standards,
Emergency Episode Avoidance Plan,
Industrial Sources, Fugitive Particulate,
Solid Fuel Burning Devices,
Administrative Procedures, and
Penalties. As identified in Section IV of
the March 5, 2019 proposed approval,
the EPA is not acting on Chapter 9, rule
9.204 in the August 3, 2016 submittal or
the IBR revisions in the August 22, 2018
submittal. Lastly, this rule redesignates
the Missoula NAA from nonattainment
to attainment of the PM10 NAAQS. A list
of the revisions to the Missoula CityCounty Air Pollution Control Program
that the EPA is approving is outlined in
Table 1 below.

IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, 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
Regulations described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 8 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 the EPA for inclusion in
the State implementation plan (SIP),
have been incorporated by reference by
the EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective

approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP
compilation.

V. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
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, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:08 May 23, 2019
Jkt 247001
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; 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 July 23, 2019.
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).)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81
[EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0235; FRL-9993-66-Region 8]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
State of Montana; Missoula PM10 Nonattainment Area Limited Maintenance
Plan and Redesignation Request
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
Limited Maintenance Plan (LMP), submitted by the State of Montana to
the EPA on August 3, 2016, for the Missoula moderate particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to a nominal 10
micrometers (PM10) nonattainment area (Missoula NAA) and
concurrently redesignating the Missoula NAA to attainment of the 24-
hour PM10 National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). In
order to approve the LMP and redesignation, the EPA is determining that
the Missoula NAA has attained the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS of
150 [micro]g/m\3\. This determination is based upon monitored air
quality data for the PM10 NAAQS during the years 2015-2017.
The EPA is also approving the Missoula LMP as meeting the appropriate
transportation conformity requirements. Lastly, the EPA is approving
certain rule revisions the Missoula City-County Air Pollution Control
Program submitted on August 3, 2016, and August 22, 2018.
DATES: Effective June 24, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID Number EPA-R08-OAR-2018-0235. All documents in the docket are
listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
confidential business information (CBI) 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 through , or please contact the person
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for
additional availability information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: James Hou, Air Program, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 8, Mail Code 8ARD-QP,

[email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The Missoula NAA encompasses the City of Missoula and was
designated nonattainment for the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS and
classified as moderate under section 107(d)(4)(B), following enactment
of the Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 1990. See 56 FR 56694
(November 6, 1991). On August 30, 1995, the EPA fully approved the
Missoula NAA PM10 plan including reasonably available
control measures (RACM), an attainment demonstration, emissions
inventory, quantitative milestones, and control and contingency
requirements.
The factual and legal background for this action is discussed in
detail in our March 5, 2019 (84 FR 7846) proposed approval of certain
rule revisions to the Missoula City-County Air Pollution Control
Program, the Missoula Limited Maintenance Plan, the Missoula LMP as
meeting the appropriate transportation conformity requirements, and
concurrent redesignation of the Missoula NAA to attainment of the NAAQS
for PM10.
II. Response to Comments
The public comment period on the EPA's proposed rule opened on
March 5, 2019, the date of its publicaction in the Federal Register,
(84 FR 7846), and closed on April 4, 2019. During this time, the EPA
received no comments.
III. Final Action
The EPA is making the determination that the Missoula NAA has
attained the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS of 150 [micro]g/m\3\.
This determination is based upon monitored air quality data for the
PM10 NAAQS during the years 2015-2017. Additionally, the EPA
is approving the Missoula NAA LMP submitted on August 3, 2016, as
meeting the applicable CAA requirements, and we have determined the LMP
to be sufficient to provide for maintenance of the PM10
NAAQS over the course of the 10-year maintenance period out to 2029.
The EPA is also approving the Missoula LMP as meeting the appropriate
transportation conformity requirements found in 40 CFR 93, subpart A.
The EPA is approving most of the revisions submitted on August 3, 2016
and August 22, 2018 (Chapter 4 revisions). Specifically, the EPA is
approving revisions to the eight chapters on Definitions, Failure to
Attain Standards, Emergency Episode Avoidance Plan, Industrial Sources,
Fugitive Particulate, Solid Fuel Burning Devices, Administrative
Procedures, and Penalties. As identified in Section IV of the March 5,
2019 proposed approval, the EPA is not acting on Chapter 9, rule 9.204
in the August 3, 2016 submittal or the IBR revisions in the August 22,
2018 submittal. Lastly, this rule redesignates the Missoula NAA from
nonattainment to attainment of the PM10 NAAQS. A list of the
revisions to the Missoula City-County Air Pollution Control Program
that the EPA is approving is outlined in Table 1 below.

IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, 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
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 8
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 the EPA for inclusion
in the State implementation plan (SIP), have been incorporated by
reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective
[[Page 24038]]
date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.
V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
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, 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 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 July 23, 2019. 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).)
