Revisions to Title 115 of the Nebraska
Administrative Code; Rules of Practice
and Procedure
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
revisions to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of
Nebraska on September 24, 2020. This
proposed action will amend the SIP to
revise title 115 of the Nebraska
Administrative Code ‘‘Nebraska Rules of
Practice and Procedure.’’ Title 115
describes the procedures the Nebraska
Department of Environment and Energy
(NDEE), formerly the Nebraska
Department of Environmental Quality
(NDEQ), will follow for proceedings
under the Administrative Procedure
Act. These proceedings include
contested cases, rulemaking petitions,
and declaratory rulings among others. In
addition, title 115 contains procedures
related to submission and review of
confidentiality claims for trade secrets,
public hearing requirements for permits,
and other fact-finding hearings not
covered in other more program specific
regulatory titles. These proposed
changes consolidate five chapters into a
single chapter by removing duplicative
language and incorporating by reference
model rules of agency procedure
promulgated by the Attorney General for
agency use in accordance with the
Administrative Procedure Act. The
proposed revisions also update
language; renumber chapters; and make
minor wording changes. The proposed
changes do not substantively change
any existing statutory or regulatory
requirement or impact the stringency of
the SIP or air quality, do not revise

II. What is being addressed in this
document?
EPA is proposing to amend
Nebraska’s SIP to include revisions to
title 115 of the Nebraska Administrative
Code. The EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to the Nebraska SIP received
on September 24, 2020. The revisions
are to Title 115—Nebraska Rules of
Practice and Procedure. These revisions
are described in detail in the technical
support document (TSD) included in
the docket for this action.
EPA is proposing approval of these
revisions as they do not substantively
change any existing statutory or
regulatory requirement. These revisions
do not impact the stringency of the SIP
or air quality.
III. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the
public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR
51.102. The submission also satisfied
the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part
51, appendix V. The state provided
public notice of the revisions from
February 28, 2019, to April 2, 2019, and
held a public hearing on April 3, 2019.
The state received no comments. As
explained in more detail in the TSD
which is part of this docket, the SIP
revision submission meets the
substantive requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA), including section 110
and implementing regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is proposing to amend the
Nebraska SIP by approving the State’s
request to revise Title 115—Nebraska
Rules of Practice and Procedure.
Approval of these revisions will ensure
consistency between state and federallyapproved rules. The EPA has
determined that these changes will not
adversely impact air quality.
The EPA is processing this as a
proposed action because we are
E:\FR\FM\19MRP1.SGM
19MRP1
14857
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 52 / Friday, March 19, 2021 / Proposed Rules
soliciting comments on this proposed
action. Final rulemaking will occur after
consideration of any comments.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this action, the EPA is proposing to
include regulatory text in a final rule
that includes incorporation by
reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is
proposing to incorporate by reference
the Nebraska Regulations described in
the proposed amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 7 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
VI. 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.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
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 the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTA) because this
rulemaking does not involve technical
standards; 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 the 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).

OW]
State of Michigan Underground
Injection Control (UIC) Class II
Program; Primacy Approval
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) is
proposing to approve the State of
Michigan’s Underground Injection
Control Class II (UIC) Program for
primacy. EPA determined that the
State’s program is consistent with the
provisions of the Safe Drinking Water
Act (SDWA) at Section 1425 to prevent
underground injection activities that
endanger underground sources of
drinking water. The Agency’s approval
allows Michigan to implement and
enforce its state regulations for UIC
Class II injection wells located within
the State. Michigan’s authority excludes
the regulation of injection well Classes
I, III, IV, V and VI, and all wells in
Indian country, as required by rule
under the SDWA. The Agency requests
public comment on this proposed rule
and supporting documentation. In the
‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this
Federal Register, the Agency published
EPA’s approval of the State’s program as
a direct final rule without a prior
proposed rule. If the Agency receives no
adverse comment on the direct final
rule, EPA will not take further action on
this proposed rule.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by April 19, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OW–2020–0595, through the Federal
eRulemaking Portal at: https://

instructions for submitting comments.
All submissions received must include
the Docket ID No. for this rulemaking.
Comments received may be posted
without change to https://

official comment and should include
discussion of all points you wish to
make. EPA will generally not consider
comments or comment contents located

EPA continues to carefully and
continuously monitor information from
the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), local area health
departments, and our federal partners so
that we can respond rapidly as
conditions change regarding COVID–19.
II. The Proposed Rule
EPA proposes to approve Michigan’s
UIC Program primacy application for
Class II injection wells located within
the State (except all wells in Indian
country), because it meets all
requirements under SDWA for such
programs. The proposed rule would
grant Michigan primary enforcement
authority to prevent Class II (oil and gasrelated) underground injection activities
that endanger underground sources of
drinking water. Accordingly, the
Agency proposes to codify the State’s
program in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR part 147.
EPA will continue to administer the UIC
Program for injection well Classes I, III,
IV, V and VI, and for all wells in Indian
country.
EPA has published a direct final rule
in the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section
of the Federal Register, approving the
State’s program because EPA views this
approval as noncontroversial and
anticipates no adverse comment. For the
Agency’s rationale for approval and
additional supplementary information,
please see the preamble to the direct
final rule. If EPA receives no adverse
comment on the direct final rule, the
Agency will not take further action on
this proposed rule. If EPA receives
adverse comment on the direct final
rule, the Agency will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take
effect. The Agency would then consider
and address all public comments in any
subsequent final rule based on this
proposed rule. The Agency does not
intend to institute a second comment
period. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time.

Air Plan Approval; Nebraska; Revisions to Title 115 of the
Nebraska Administrative Code; Rules of Practice and Procedure
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by
the State of Nebraska on September 24, 2020. This proposed action will
amend the SIP to revise title 115 of the Nebraska Administrative Code
``Nebraska Rules of Practice and Procedure.'' Title 115 describes the
procedures the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy (NDEE),
formerly the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ), will
follow for proceedings under the Administrative Procedure Act. These
proceedings include contested cases, rulemaking petitions, and
declaratory rulings among others. In addition, title 115 contains
procedures related to submission and review of confidentiality claims
for trade secrets, public hearing requirements for permits, and other
fact-finding hearings not covered in other more program specific
regulatory titles. These proposed changes consolidate five chapters
into a single chapter by removing duplicative language and
incorporating by reference model rules of agency procedure promulgated
by the Attorney General for agency use in accordance with the
Administrative Procedure Act. The proposed revisions also update
language; renumber chapters; and make minor wording changes. The
proposed changes do not substantively change any existing statutory or
regulatory requirement or impact the stringency of the SIP or air
quality, do not revise emission limits or procedures, nor do they
impact the State's ability to attain or maintain the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 19, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2021-0171 to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

II. What is being addressed in this document?
EPA is proposing to amend Nebraska's SIP to include revisions to
title 115 of the Nebraska Administrative Code. The EPA is proposing to
approve revisions to the Nebraska SIP received on September 24, 2020.
The revisions are to Title 115--Nebraska Rules of Practice and
Procedure. These revisions are described in detail in the technical
support document (TSD) included in the docket for this action.
EPA is proposing approval of these revisions as they do not
substantively change any existing statutory or regulatory requirement.
These revisions do not impact the stringency of the SIP or air quality.
III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The
state provided public notice of the revisions from February 28, 2019,
to April 2, 2019, and held a public hearing on April 3, 2019. The state
received no comments. As explained in more detail in the TSD which is
part of this docket, the SIP revision submission meets the substantive
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), including section 110 and
implementing regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is proposing to amend the Nebraska SIP by approving the
State's request to revise Title 115--Nebraska Rules of Practice and
Procedure. Approval of these revisions will ensure consistency between
state and federally-approved rules. The EPA has determined that these
changes will not adversely impact air quality.
The EPA is processing this as a proposed action because we are
[[Page 14857]]
soliciting comments on this proposed action. Final rulemaking will
occur after consideration of any comments.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this action, the EPA is proposing to include regulatory text in
a final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the Nebraska Regulations described in the proposed amendments
to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 7 Office (please contact the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).
VI. 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. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the 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 the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; 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 the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
