ACTION: Final rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Georgia through a letter dated March 15, 2019, through the Georgia Department of Natural Resources (GA DNR), Environmental Protection Division (GA EPD). The changes remove obsolete references, clarify the State’s inspection and maintenance (I/M) requirements, and update terminology, including to reflect advances in technology. EPA evaluated the SIP revision and determined the changes will not impact emissions under the Georgia I/M program. EPA has determined that approval of the SIP revision will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) or with any other applicable requirement of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). Therefore, EPA is approving the Georgia’s March 15, 2019, SIP revision because it is consistent with the applicable provisions of the CAA. DATES: This rule is effective September 23, 2020.

This Action EPA is approving changes to the Georgia SIP that were provided to EPA under a cover letter dated March 15, 2019.1 Specifically, GA EPD provided three different changes to Georgia’s Rule 391–3–20—Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance (‘‘Georgia I/M Regulation’’), which were adopted by the GA DNR Board of Directors and became state-effective on November 22, 2016, March 28, 2018, and February 17, 2019.2 The changes are to update the SIP to remove obsolete references, clarify the State’s I/M requirements, and update terminology, including to reflect advances in technology. These changes include adding, removing, and revising definitions applicable to the Georgia I/M Regulation. 1 EPA officially received Georgia’s I/M SIP revision request on March 21, 2019. 2 Changes adopted by the GA DNR Board on October 26, 2016, became state-effective on November 22, 2016; adopted on February 28, 2018, became state-effective on March 28, 2018; and adopted on January 16, 2019, became state-effective on February 17, 2019. PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 52047 II. Background Georgia’s March 19, 2019 SIP revision contains changes to a number of rules within the Georgia I/M Regulation to remove obsolete references, clarify the State’s I/M regulations, and update terminology: Rule 391–3–20–.01, ‘‘Definitions;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.03, ‘‘Covered Vehicles: Exemptions;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.04, ‘‘Emission Inspection Procedures;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.05, ‘‘Emission Standards;’’ Rule 391–3–20– .06, ‘‘On-Road Testing of Exhaust Emissions by Remote Sensing Technology or Other Means;’’ Rule 391– 3–20–.07, ‘‘Inspection Equipment System Specification;’’ 391–3–20-.08, ‘‘Quality Control and Equipment Calibration Procedures;’’ Rule 391–3– 20–.09, ‘‘Inspection Station Requirements;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.10, ‘‘Certificates of Authorization;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.11, ‘‘Inspector Qualifications and Certification;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.13, ‘‘Certificate of Emission Inspection;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.15, ‘‘Repairs and Retests;’’ Rule 391–3–20–.17, ‘‘Waivers;’’ and Rule 391–3–20–.18, ‘‘Sale of Vehicles.’’ In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on May 14, 2020 (85 FR 28919), EPA proposed to approve the above changes into the Georgia SIP. The details of Georgia’s submission and the rationale for EPA’s action are explained in the NPRM. Comments on the NPRM were due on or before June 15, 2020. EPA did not receive any comments on the NPRM. Therefore, EPA is finalizing approval of those changes in this action. In this final action, EPA is correcting an error in the NPRM regarding the term ‘‘Certification of Emission Inspection.’’ In the NPRM (Section III.A.2.b.), EPA stated that ‘‘[t]he term ‘Certificate of Emissions Inspection’ is defined as a certificate issued to stations that have been inspected and approved by GA EPD.’’ Georgia Rule 391–391–3–20-.01, ‘‘Definitions,’’ however, defines a ‘‘Certificate of Emissions Inspection’’ as follows: (f) ‘‘Certificate of Emissions Inspection’’ means an official certificate that exhaust emissions, evaporative emissions, emission control equipment, and on-board diagnostic equipment have been inspected and approved in accordance with the Act and this Chapter. Such certificates will be furnished to official emission inspection stations by EPD to be completed and issued by such stations to the owner or operator of a responsible motor vehicle upon inspection and approval certifying that such responsible motor vehicle has been inspected and complies with the inspection and maintenance required by the Act and this Chapter.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is 
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106 
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII, 
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's 
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described 
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, 
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of 
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient 
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority 
as it amends Class E airspace at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR to 
support IFR operations in the area.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking in the Federal 
Register (85 FR 33590, June 2, 2020) for Docket No. FAA-2020-0365 to 
amend Class E surface airspace, by removing the southern extension, and 
Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above the surface, by 
amending the southern extension and eliminating the northwest 
extension, at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR. In addition, the FAA 
proposed to update the airport's descriptor, and replace the outdated 
term Airport/Facility Directory with the term Chart Supplement.
    Interested parties were invited to participate in this rulemaking 
effort by submitting written comments on the proposal to the FAA. No 
comments were received.
    Class E airspace designations are published in Paragraph 6005, of 
FAA Order 7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 
2019, which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E 
airspace designations listed in this document will be published 
subsequently in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and 
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the 
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A, 
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic routes, and reporting 
points.

The Rule

    This amendment to Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) 
part 71 amends Class E surface airspace, by removing the southern 
extension, and Class E airspace extending upward from 700 feet above 
the surface, by amending the southern extension and eliminating the 
northwest extension, at Boone County Airport, Harrison, AR, due to the 
decommissioning of the (HRO) RWY 36 Outer Marker (OM) and Compass 
Locator. The FAA found that BAKKY NDB has been decommissioned, and the 
Harrison VOR approach no longer exists. This results in airspace 
redesign for Boone County Airport. In addition, the FAA updates the 
airport's descriptor by removing the unnecessary city name. Also, the 
FAA replaces the outdated term Airport/Facility Directory with the term 
Chart Supplement. These changes are necessary for continued safety and 
management of IFR operations in the area.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is 
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an 
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and 
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current. It 
therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT 
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); 
and, (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the 
anticipated impact is minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only 
affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that 
this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of 
the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action qualifies for categorical 
exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance 
with FAA Order 1050.1F, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies and 
Procedures,'' paragraph 5-6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to 
cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no 
extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of an 
environmental assessment.
