ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to the Clean Air Act
(CAA), the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a state
implementation plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Maine. On
February 18, 2020, the State submitted
its 1997 ozone national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) Limited
Maintenance Plans (LMPs) for the
Portland and Midcoast areas. EPA is
approving the Portland and Midcoast
LMPs because they provide for the
maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS
through the end of the second 10-year
portion of the maintenance period. The
effect of this action will be to make
certain commitments related to
maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS
in the Portland and Midcoast
maintenance areas part of the Maine SIP
and therefore federally enforceable.
DATES: This rule is effective on
November 13, 2020.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a

I. Background and Purpose
Under the CAA, EPA is approving
Limited Maintenance Plans (LMPs) for
the Portland and Midcoast maintenance
areas for the 1997 ozone NAAQS
submitted as a revision to the Maine
State Implementation Plan (SIP) on
February 18, 2020. The Portland area
under the 1997 ozone NAAQS is
comprised of 57 cities and towns in
York, Cumberland and Sagadahoc
Counties along with Durham, Maine in
Androscoggin County. The Midcoast
area is made up of 55 coastal towns and
islands in Hancock, Knox, Lincoln and
Waldo counties. On June 15, 2004, the
Portland and Midcoast areas were
designated as nonattainment areas
under the 1997 ozone NAAQS. On
January 10, 2007, the areas were
redesignated to attainment under that
standard.

*
*
The Portland and Midcoast areas’
LMPs for the 1997 ozone NAAQS
submitted by Maine are designed to
maintain the 1997 ozone NAAQS within
these areas through the end of the
second ten-year period of the
maintenance period. We are approving
the plans because they meet all
applicable requirements under CAA
sections 110 and 175A.
Other specific requirements of the
LMPs and the rationale for EPA’s
proposed action are explained in the
notice of proposed rulemaking and will
not be restated here. EPA received two
public comments during the comment
period for the notice of proposed
rulemaking. One comment supported
the action. The second comment was
not germane to the rulemaking notice,
did not indicate any technical or legal
reason why EPA should not approve the
SIP revision, and did not propose any
changes to the SIP revision.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating
into the Maine SIP, the 1997 ozone
national ambient air quality standards
LMPs for the Portland and Midcoast
areas. EPA is approving the LMPs
because the plans are consistent with
the requirements of the CAA.
III. 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
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,
E:\FR\FM\14OCR1.SGM
14OCR1
64970
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 199 / Wednesday, October 14, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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 December 14,
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).)

SUMMARY:
Congressional Review Act
The Commission sent a copy of
document FCC 20–132 to Congress and
the Government Accountability Office
pursuant to the Congressional Review
Act, 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:58 Oct 13, 2020
Jkt 253001
Document FCC 20–132 does not
contain proposed information collection
requirements subject to the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104–
13. In addition, therefore, it does not
contain any proposed information
collection burden for small business
concerns with fewer than 25 employees,
pursuant to the Small Business
Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, Public
Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(4).
1. Under section 225 of the
Communications Act of 1934, as
amended, 47 U.S.C. 225, the
Commission must ensure that
telecommunications telay services (TRS)
are ‘‘functionally equivalent’’ to voice
service and are made available to
eligible users to the extent possible and
in the most efficient manner. One form
of TRS, internet Protocol Captioned
Telephone Service (IP CTS), delivers
captions for ongoing telephone
conversations to individuals with
hearing loss, so that they can use the
captions and their residual hearing to
understand what the other party is
saying. Like other forms of TRS, IP CTS
is paid for by telecommunications and
voice over internet Protocol (VoIP)
service providers’ contributions to the
Commission-administered TRS Fund.
2. In its June 2018 Report and Order
(2018 Order), document 18–79, 83 FR
30082, June 27, 2018, the Commission
determined that TRS Fund payments to
the companies providing IP CTS were
greatly in excess of actual costs and that
the gap between TRS Fund payments
and provider costs was becoming wider.
The Commission terminated use of the
Multistate Average Rate Structure
(MARS) methodology, which set the
TRS Fund IP CTS per minute
compensation rate based on noninternet captioned telephone service
provided through state TRS programs.
The Commission also set interim
compensation rates for IP CTS providers
for the 2018–19 and 2019–20 TRS Fund
Years, pending adoption of a
replacement compensation
methodology. In the 2018 Further
Notice, the Commission sought
comment on establishing a new TRS
Fund compensation methodology for IP
CTS and setting provider compensation
for the period after June 30, 2020. On
May 29, 2020, after the onset of the
COVID–19 pandemic, the Consumer and
Governmental Affairs Bureau (Bureau)
granted a sua sponte waiver of the June
30, 2020, expiration of the 2019–20 TRS
Fund Year $1.58 per minute rate,
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

extending its application through
September 30, 2020.
3. In document FCC 20–132, the
Commission sets IP CTS compensation
through June 30, 2022, completing the
adjustment of IP CTS compensation to
the level of current reasonable costs.
Continuing the approximately 10%
annual rate reductions initiated in 2018,
the Commission reduces the rate from
$1.58 to $1.42 per minute for the
remainder of the 2020–21 Fund Year
and reaches the average cost plus
operating margin, $1.30 per minute, in
the 2021–22 Fund Year.
4. The Commission applies these
compensation rates on a technologically
neutral basis to all forms of IP CTS and
all IP CTS providers. The Commission
concludes that a tiered rate structure is
unsuited to the current IP CTS
environment, and the Commission
defers consideration of whether and
how to set a separate compensation rate
for fully automatic IP CTS. The
Commission also defers consideration of
alternatives to cost-based compensation
rates, such as a reverse-auction
approach, until it becomes clearer how
the introduction of fully automatic
captioning methods will affect provider
cost structures. For similar reasons, the
Commission defers consideration of
whether to apply price-cap-like
adjustments to the compensation rate
(other than for reimbursement of
exogenous costs).
5. Average Cost Methodology. The
Commission has broad discretion in
choosing compensation methodologies
and setting compensation rates within
the parameters established by section
225 of the Communications Act. To
determine a cost-based level of IP CTS
compensation for the next rate period,
the Commission employs the same
methodology used in 2018 to set interim
IP CTS rates—setting a rate based on the
weighted average of all providers’
projected and historical costs, as
reported for the current and
immediately preceding calendar years,
respectively. Continued use of this costbased methodology in the near term will
advance the efficiency mandate of
section 225 and permit service quality
improvements in functionally
equivalent service to users without
unduly burdening providers.
6. First, through more than 25 years of
experience using an average-cost
methodology to set TRS compensation,
the Commission has developed a
consistent approach to determining the
reasonable costs for TRS, which can be
applied without imposing undue
administrative burdens on either
providers or the Commission. Although
any ratemaking method is subject to

revision submitted by the State of Maine. On February 18, 2020, the
State submitted its 1997 ozone national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) Limited Maintenance Plans (LMPs) for the Portland and Midcoast

provide for the maintenance of the 1997 ozone NAAQS through the end of
the second 10-year portion of the maintenance period. The effect of
this action will be to make certain commitments related to maintenance

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
Under the CAA, EPA is approving Limited Maintenance Plans (LMPs)
for the Portland and Midcoast maintenance areas for the 1997 ozone
NAAQS submitted as a revision to the Maine State Implementation Plan
(SIP) on February 18, 2020. The Portland area under the 1997 ozone
NAAQS is comprised of 57 cities and towns in York, Cumberland and
Sagadahoc Counties along with Durham, Maine in Androscoggin County. The
Midcoast area is made up of 55 coastal towns and islands in Hancock,
Knox, Lincoln and Waldo counties. On June 15, 2004, the Portland and
Midcoast areas were designated as nonattainment areas under the 1997
ozone NAAQS. On January 10, 2007, the areas were redesignated to
attainment under that standard.
The Portland and Midcoast areas' LMPs for the 1997 ozone NAAQS
submitted by Maine are designed to maintain the 1997 ozone NAAQS within
these areas through the end of the second ten-year period of the
maintenance period. We are approving the plans because they meet all
applicable requirements under CAA sections 110 and 175A.
Other specific requirements of the LMPs and the rationale for EPA's
proposed action are explained in the notice of proposed rulemaking and
will not be restated here. EPA received two public comments during the
comment period for the notice of proposed rulemaking. One comment
supported the action. The second comment was not germane to the
rulemaking notice, did not indicate any technical or legal reason why
EPA should not approve the SIP revision, and did not propose any
changes to the SIP revision.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating into the Maine SIP, the 1997
ozone national ambient air quality standards LMPs for the Portland and
Midcoast areas. EPA is approving the LMPs because the plans are
consistent with the requirements of the CAA.
III. 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 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,
[[Page 64970]]
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
