Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 9, 2019 / Proposed Rules
charges in the ANSI ASC X12N 837P
(Professional) format, the electronic
claim version of CMS–1500.
E. VA proposes that claims must
contain the correct member identifier,
which, at this time, is the veteran’s or
beneficiary’s Social Security Number.
F. In 2019, VA will have Electronic
Data Interchange (EDI) ASC X12N/
005010X210 Patient Information (275)
transaction attachment capabilities with
the implementation of an X12 275
solution. However, a recent Council for
Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH)
report, ‘‘A Report of Healthcare Industry
Adoption of Electronic Business
Transactions and Cost Savings’’,
indicated that there is very little
adoption of the 275 electronic
administrative transaction type
throughout the health care industry
(https://www.caqh.org/sites/default/
files/explorations/index/report/2018index-report.pdf). VA is interested in
understanding the barriers to and
timelines for wider 275 transaction
adoption to consider potential
complications to broad implementation
of an EDI claim submission mandate.
2. In addition to information
regarding the specific statements above,
VA also requests any other information
and/or documentation that entities and
providers in the health care industry
recommend VA include on the list.

II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is proposing to approve the
removal of 10 CSR 10–2.390 Kansas City
Area Transportation Conformity
Requirements. Pursuant to 40 CFR
93.102 (b) transportation conformity
must be conducted in all nonattainment and maintenance areas and
States must adopt State Plans to conduct
transportation conformity. The Kansas
City Area, Clay, Jackson, and Platte
Counties, were designated nonattainment for the 1979 one hour ozone
standard (40 CFR 81.326, March 3,
1978). On July 23, 1992 the Kansas City
Area was redesignated as attainment/
maintenance (57 FR 27939, July 23,
1992). Pursuant to CAA Section 175A,
the maintenance status lasted for two
consecutive ten year periods from the
effective date of the EPA’s approval of
the first ten-year maintenance plan and
redesignation of the area to attainment
for the NAAQS. On July 23, 2012, the
second maintenance plan ended as did
the requirement for transportation
conformity in the Kansas City Area.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 51.1118, as the
Kansas City Area is in attainment for all
standards, the Kansas City Area
Transportation Conformity
Requirements are no longer needed. If in
the future, the Kansas City Area was to
be determined to be non-attainment
with a standard requiring conformity,
the State would have to develop new
transportation conformity requirements.
Furthermore, the Kansas City Area
Transportation Conformity
Requirements are not relied on in any
other maintenance or attainment plan.
III. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the
public notice requirements for SIP

32672
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 131 / Tuesday, July 9, 2019 / Proposed Rules
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR
51.102. The submission also satisfied
the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part
51, appendix V. The state provided
public notice from May 15, 2018 to
August 2, 2018, and received no
comments on this rule. In addition, the
revision meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing
regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
We are processing this as a proposed
action because we are soliciting
comments on this proposed action.
Final rulemaking will occur after
consideration of any comments.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, as described in the
proposed amendments to 40 CFR part
52 set forth below, the EPA is proposing
to remove provisions of the EPAApproved Missouri Regulations from
the Missouri State Implementation Plan,
which is incorporated by reference in
accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR part 51.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as
meeting Federal requirements and 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:55 Jul 08, 2019
Jkt 247001
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 the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTA) because this
rulemaking does not involve technical
standards; 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 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).

ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
as a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision the Morgan County-related
elements of an Indiana submission to
EPA dated October 2, 2015, as
supplemented on February 8, 2019. The
October 2015 submission addresses
attainment of the 2010 sulfur dioxide
(SO2) national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS) for four areas. The
February 8, 2019 supplement provides
additional modeling information
regarding the adequacy of the plan for
Morgan County. EPA proposes to
conclude that Indiana has appropriately
demonstrated that the plan provisions
provided for attainment of the 2010 SO2
NAAQS in the Morgan County area by
the applicable attainment date and that
the plan meets the other applicable
requirements under the Clean Air Act.

II. What is being addressed in this document?
The EPA is proposing to approve the removal of 10 CSR 10-2.390
Kansas City Area Transportation Conformity Requirements. Pursuant to 40
CFR 93.102 (b) transportation conformity must be conducted in all non-
attainment and maintenance areas and States must adopt State Plans to
conduct transportation conformity. The Kansas City Area, Clay, Jackson,
and Platte Counties, were designated non-attainment for the 1979 one
hour ozone standard (40 CFR 81.326, March 3, 1978). On July 23, 1992
the Kansas City Area was redesignated as attainment/maintenance (57 FR
27939, July 23, 1992). Pursuant to CAA Section 175A, the maintenance
status lasted for two consecutive ten year periods from the effective
date of the EPA's approval of the first ten-year maintenance plan and
redesignation of the area to attainment for the NAAQS. On July 23,
2012, the second maintenance plan ended as did the requirement for
transportation conformity in the Kansas City Area. Pursuant to 40 CFR
51.1118, as the Kansas City Area is in attainment for all standards,
the Kansas City Area Transportation Conformity Requirements are no

determined to be non-attainment with a standard requiring conformity,
the State would have to develop new transportation conformity
requirements. Furthermore, the Kansas City Area Transportation
Conformity Requirements are not relied on in any other maintenance or
attainment plan.
III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP
[[Page 32672]]
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The
state provided public notice from May 15, 2018 to August 2, 2018, and
received no comments on this rule. In addition, the revision meets the
substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
We are processing this as a proposed action because we are
soliciting comments on this proposed action. Final rulemaking will
occur after consideration of any comments.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, as described in the proposed amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below, the EPA is proposing to remove provisions of
the EPA-Approved Missouri Regulations from the Missouri State
Implementation Plan, which is incorporated by reference in accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR part 51.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements
and 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 the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; 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 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).
