Standard
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Vermont that
addresses the infrastructure
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA
or Act)—including the interstate
transport provisions—for the 2015
ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). The infrastructure
requirements are designed to ensure that
the structural components of each
state’s air-quality management program,
including provisions prohibiting
emissions that will have certain adverse
air-quality effects in other states, are
adequate to meet the state’s
responsibilities under the CAA. EPA is
also approving the State of Vermont
Executive Order (E.O.) 19–17, Executive
Code of Ethics, which Vermont
submitted with its infrastructure
submission for the 2015 ozone NAAQS
to be added to the SIP. Because E.O. 19–
17 supersedes and replaces E.O. 09–11,
EPA is also removing E.O. 09–11 from
the Vermont SIP. This action is being
taken in accordance with the Clean Air
Act.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 6,
2020.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On April 1, 2020 (85 FR 18160), EPA
published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of
Vermont.
The NPRM proposed approval of a
Vermont SIP revision that addresses the
infrastructure requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA or Act)—including the
interstate transport provisions—for the
2015 ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). The NPRM
also proposed approval of State of
Vermont Executive Order (E.O.) 19–17,
Executive Code of Ethics, which the
State submitted with its infrastructure
submission. The formal SIP revision
was submitted by Vermont on
November 19, 2019. The rationale for
EPA’s proposed action is given in the
NPRM and will not be restated here.
EPA received no public comments on
the NPRM.

II. Final Action
EPA is approving Vermont’s
November 19, 2019, infrastructure SIP
submission for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS)—including the ‘‘Good
Neighbor’’ or ‘‘transport’’ provisions—as
a revision to the Vermont SIP. In
addition, EPA is approving, and
incorporating into the Vermont SIP, the
following executive order:
State of Vermont Executive Order No.
19–17, Executive Code of Ethics,
effective December 4, 2017.
EPA is also removing State of
Vermont Executive Order No. 09–11,
Executive Code of Ethics, from the
Vermont SIP because this has been
superseded and replaced by Executive
Order No. 19–17.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, 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
Vermont executive order described in
the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 1 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
State implementation plan, 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.1
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
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, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely

FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
04JNR1
34358
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 108 / Thursday, June 4, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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
regulatory action because this action is
not significant 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 Clean Air Act;
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).
In addition, 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).
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 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 August 3, 2020.
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).)

Air Plan Approval; Vermont; Infrastructure State Implementation
Plan Requirements for the 2015 Ozone Standard
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Vermont
that addresses the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act)--including the interstate transport provisions--for the
2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The
infrastructure requirements are designed to ensure that the structural
components of each state's air-quality management program, including
provisions prohibiting emissions that will have certain adverse air-
quality effects in other states, are adequate to meet the state's
responsibilities under the CAA. EPA is also approving the State of
Vermont Executive Order (E.O.) 19-17, Executive Code of Ethics, which
Vermont submitted with its infrastructure submission for the 2015 ozone
NAAQS to be added to the SIP. Because E.O. 19-17 supersedes and
replaces E.O. 09-11, EPA is also removing E.O. 09-11 from the Vermont
SIP. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 2020.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket

III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On April 1, 2020 (85 FR 18160), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of Vermont.
The NPRM proposed approval of a Vermont SIP revision that addresses
the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act)--
including the interstate transport provisions--for the 2015 ozone
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The NPRM also proposed
approval of State of Vermont Executive Order (E.O.) 19-17, Executive
Code of Ethics, which the State submitted with its infrastructure
submission. The formal SIP revision was submitted by Vermont on
November 19, 2019. The rationale for EPA's proposed action is given in
the NPRM and will not be restated here. EPA received no public comments
on the NPRM.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Vermont's November 19, 2019, infrastructure SIP
submission for the 2015 ozone NAAQS)--including the ``Good Neighbor''
or ``transport'' provisions--as a revision to the Vermont SIP. In
addition, EPA is approving, and incorporating into the Vermont SIP, the
following executive order:
State of Vermont Executive Order No. 19-17, Executive Code of
Ethics, effective December 4, 2017.
EPA is also removing State of Vermont Executive Order No. 09-11,
Executive Code of Ethics, from the Vermont SIP because this has been
superseded and replaced by Executive Order No. 19-17.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, 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
Vermont executive order described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52
set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and
at the EPA Region 1 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 State implementation plan, 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.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
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, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
[[Page 34358]]
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 regulatory action because
this action is not significant 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 Clean Air Act; 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).
In addition, 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).
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 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 August 3, 2020. 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).)
