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 October 19, 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

Final rule.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to
the Illinois State Implementation Plan
(SIP) to meet the base year emissions
inventory and motor vehicle inspection
and maintenance (I/M) requirements of
the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the Illinois
portion of the Chicago-Naperville,
Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin area
(Chicago area) for the 2008 ozone
national ambient air quality standard
(NAAQS or standard). EPA is approving
the State’s submission as a SIP revision
pursuant to section 110 and part D of
the CAA and EPA’s regulations because
it satisfies the emissions inventory and
I/M requirements for areas classified as
moderate nonattainment for the 2008
ozone NAAQS. Final approval of the
Illinois SIP as meeting the I/M
requirements of the CAA for the 2008
ozone NAAQS permanently stops the
Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) clock
for that element, which was triggered by
EPA’s December 11, 2017 finding that
Illinois failed to submit certain required
SIP elements for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. EPA proposed to approve this
action on April 23, 2020 and received
no adverse comments on the emissions
inventory and I/M SIP elements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with RULES
I. Background Information
On April 23, 2020 (85 FR 22693), EPA
proposed to approve revisions to the
Illinois SIP to meet the base year
emissions inventory, motor vehicle I/M,
reasonable further progress (RFP), and
RFP contingency measures requirements
of the CAA for the Illinois portion of the
Chicago area for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. EPA also proposed to approve
the 2017 transportation conformity
motor vehicle emissions budgets
(MVEBs) for the Illinois portion of the
Chicago area for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. An explanation of the CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the
revisions, and EPA’s reasons for
proposing approval were provided in
the notice of proposed rulemaking and
will not be restated here. The public
comment period for this proposed rule
ended on May 26, 2020. EPA received
no comments on the emissions
inventory and I/M portions of the
proposal. Therefore, we are finalizing
our action on those plan elements as
proposed. EPA received adverse
comments on the portions of the
proposal relating to the RFP plan, RFP
contingency measures, and the related
MVEBs. EPA will be addressing these
plan elements and the associated
comments in a separate action.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving revisions to the
Illinois SIP pursuant to section 110 and
part D of the CAA and EPA’s regulations
because the Illinois Environmental
Protection Agency’s (IEPA’s) January 10,
2019, SIP plan submission satisfies the
emissions inventory and I/M
requirements of the CAA for the Illinois
portion of the Chicago area for the 2008
ozone NAAQS. Final approval of these
portions of IEPA’s January 10, 2019 SIP
revision permanently stops the FIP
clock triggered by the December 11,
2017 finding with respect to a basic I/
M program. Final approval of these
portions of IEPA’s submittal will not
affect the FIP clocks triggered by the
December 11, 2017 finding for the
following SIP elements: RFP,
contingency measures for volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOX), an attainment
demonstration, Reasonably Available
Control Technology (RACT) non-control
techniques guidelines for major

Jkt 250001
stationary sources of VOC, and RACT
for major stationary sources of NOX.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA 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
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).
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by October 19, 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).)

II. Authority for This Rulemaking
Title 40 of the United States Code
(U.S.C.) Section 121 authorizes GSA to
issue regulations, including the GSAR,
to control the relationship between GSA
and contractors.
III. Discussion and Analysis
Within Part 501, the GSA is amending
GSAR 501.106, which includes a chart
for any references within the GSAR that
have a corresponding OMB Control
Number required for information
collection. GSA Forms 72A and 618D
are currently listed within the chart,
however both are now obsolete and
have no reference within the GSAR.
This case removes the references to
these forms and their corresponding
OMB Control Number. Also, this chart
does not include GSA Form 1217,
which is currently used and referenced
within the GSAR. This case will add
GSA Form 1217 and its corresponding
OMB Control Number into the chart
found at 501.106.
The amendment to Part 570 occurs at
570.802, which includes the use of GSA
Forms during the lease process. The
amendment is removing the paragraph
which references GSA Form 276, which
is no longer used by Public Buildings
Service Leasing.
IV. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders (E.O.s) 12866 and

Air Plan Approval; Illinois; Plan Elements for the Chicago
Nonattainment Area for the 2008 Ozone Standard
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) to meet the
base year emissions inventory and motor vehicle inspection and
maintenance (I/M) requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the
Illinois portion of the Chicago-Naperville, Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin
area (Chicago area) for the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS or standard). EPA is approving the State's submission
as a SIP revision pursuant to section 110 and part D of the CAA and
EPA's regulations because it satisfies the emissions inventory and I/M
requirements for areas classified as moderate nonattainment for the
2008 ozone NAAQS. Final approval of the Illinois SIP as meeting the I/M
requirements of the CAA for the 2008 ozone NAAQS permanently stops the
Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) clock for that element, which was
triggered by EPA's December 11, 2017 finding that Illinois failed to
submit certain required SIP elements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. EPA
proposed to approve this action on April 23, 2020 and received no
adverse comments on the emissions inventory and I/M SIP elements.
DATES: This final rule is effective on September 18, 2020.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2019-0031. All documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.
I. Background Information
On April 23, 2020 (85 FR 22693), EPA proposed to approve revisions
to the Illinois SIP to meet the base year emissions inventory, motor
vehicle I/M, reasonable further progress (RFP), and RFP contingency
measures requirements of the CAA for the Illinois portion of the
Chicago area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. EPA also proposed to approve the
2017 transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs)
for the Illinois portion of the Chicago area for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
An explanation of the CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the
revisions, and EPA's reasons for proposing approval were provided in
the notice of proposed rulemaking and will not be restated here. The
public comment period for this proposed rule ended on May 26, 2020. EPA
received no comments on the emissions inventory and I/M portions of the
proposal. Therefore, we are finalizing our action on those plan
elements as proposed. EPA received adverse comments on the portions of
the proposal relating to the RFP plan, RFP contingency measures, and
the related MVEBs. EPA will be addressing these plan elements and the
associated comments in a separate action.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving revisions to the Illinois SIP pursuant to section
110 and part D of the CAA and EPA's regulations because the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency's (IEPA's) January 10, 2019, SIP plan
submission satisfies the emissions inventory and I/M requirements of
the CAA for the Illinois portion of the Chicago area for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. Final approval of these portions of IEPA's January 10, 2019 SIP
revision permanently stops the FIP clock triggered by the December 11,
2017 finding with respect to a basic I/M program. Final approval of
these portions of IEPA's submittal will not affect the FIP clocks
triggered by the December 11, 2017 finding for the following SIP
elements: RFP, contingency measures for volatile organic compounds
(VOC) and oxides of nitrogen (NOX), an attainment
demonstration, Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) non-
control techniques guidelines for major stationary sources of VOC, and
RACT for major stationary sources of NOX.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 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).
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by October 19, 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).)
