Lastly, the revision to Rule 391–3–1–.01(mmm), ‘‘Small business stationary source technical and environmental office,’’ changes the title to ‘‘Small business stationary source technical and environmental compliance assistance program,’’ and removes Air Protection Branch from the definition. 1 EPA received the submittal on August 2, 2018.

Lastly, a typographical edit is made to Rule 391–3–1–.03(11)(b)(11), ‘‘Peanut/Nut Shelling Operations’’ at Subparagraph (i)(II). EPA is proposing to approve these changes because they are minor and clarifying changes that do not relax or alter the meaning of the rules. III. Incorporation by Reference In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the GA EPD Rule 391–3–1–.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ Rule 391–3–.02(2)(c), ‘‘Incinerators,’’ and Rule 391–3–1– .03(11) ‘‘Permit by Rule,’’ which clarifies the rule by updating rule titles and making typographical corrections, state effective June 18, 2018.

Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes to Georgia August 2, 2018, SIP submittal that make changes to Rule 391–3–1–.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ Rule 391–3–.02(2)(c), ‘‘Incinerators,’’ and Rule 391–3–1– .03(11) ‘‘Permit by Rule.’’ EPA views these changes as being consistent with the CAA. V. 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 proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed action: • Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:40 Jul 09, 2019 Jkt 247001 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    GA EPD submitted a SIP revision through a letter dated July 31, 
2018, to EPA for review and approval into the Georgia SIP that contains 
changes to a number of Georgia's air quality rules in Rule 391-3-1.\1\ 
The changes that EPA is proposing to approve into the SIP through this 
rulemaking revises Rule 391-3-1-.01, ``Definitions,'' Rule 391-
3-.02(2)(c), ``Incinerators,'' and Rule 391-3-1-.03 ``Permits.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA received the submittal on August 2, 2018. The cover 
letter includes other rule changes that have been or will be 
addressed in separate EPA actions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Analysis of State's Submittal

    Georgia's submittal makes several administrative and clarifying 
edits to Rule 391-3-1-.01, ``Definitions.'' Specifically, the change to 
Rule 391-3-1-.01(oo), ``Manager'' removes ``office'' and replaces with 
``compliance assistance program.'' The change to Rule 391-3-1-.01(kkk), 
``Small Business Advisory Panel'' adds ``Compliance'' to the title of 
this rule and the change to Rule 391-3-1-.01(lll), ``Small business 
stationary source or facility'' at subparagraph (5) removes the major 
stationary source description for sources and facilities emitting less 
than 75 tons of regulated pollutants. Lastly, the revision to Rule 391-
3-1-.01(mmm), ``Small business stationary source technical and 
environmental office,'' changes the title to ``Small business 
stationary source technical and environmental compliance assistance 
program,'' and removes Air Protection Branch from the definition.

[[Page 32852]]

    Additionally, Georgia's July 31, 2018, SIP revision makes changes 
to Rule 391-3-1-.02(2)(c), ``Incinerators.'' The change updates rule 
titles for Hospital/Medical/Infectious Waste Incinerators, Commercial 
and Industrial Solid Waste, and Sewage Sludge Incinerators in 
Subparagraphs (6)(iv), (v), (vi), (vii), and (xiii). Lastly, a 
typographical edit is made to Rule 391-3-1-.03(11)(b)(11), ``Peanut/Nut 
Shelling Operations'' at Subparagraph (i)(II). EPA is proposing to 
approve these changes because they are minor and clarifying changes 
that do not relax or alter the meaning of the rules.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule 
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance 
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference the GA EPD Rule 391-3-1-.01, ``Definitions,'' Rule 391-
3-.02(2)(c), ``Incinerators,'' and Rule 391-3-1-.03(11) ``Permit by 
Rule,'' which clarifies the rule by updating rule titles and making 
typographical corrections, state effective June 18, 2018. 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).

IV. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned changes to Georgia 
August 2, 2018, SIP submittal that make changes to Rule 391-3-1-.01, 
``Definitions,'' Rule 391-3-.02(2)(c), ``Incinerators,'' and Rule 391-
3-1-.03(11) ``Permit by Rule.'' EPA views these changes as being 
consistent with the CAA.

V. 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 
proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and does 
not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
For that reason, this proposed 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.
