Public Comment and Proposed Action As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA proposes to fully approve the submitted rule because it fulfills all relevant requirements. In addition, we propose to convert the partial conditional approval of the District’s 2008 RACT SIP, as found in 40 CFR 52.248 (i), to a full approval.

If we take final action to approve the submitted rule, our final action will incorporate this rule into the federally enforceable SIP. III. Incorporation by Reference In this rule, the EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the ICAPCD rule described in Table 1 of this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available through https:// www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please contact the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 May 07, 2021 Jkt 253001 person identified in the FOR FURTHER section of this preamble for more information). INFORMATION CONTACT 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, the EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this proposed 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); • 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 the EPA with the discretionary authority to address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with practical, appropriate, 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 the EPA or PO 00000 Frm 00088 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 24837 an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.

certain propagation characteristics which may cause reception issues 
for some viewers. Petitioner further states that KTVM-TV has received 
numerous complaints from viewers unable to receive that Station's over-
the-air signal, despite being able to receive signals from other 
stations, and that its channel substitution proposal will result in 
more effective building penetration for indoor antenna reception. In 
addition, the Petitioner states that while the proposed channel 20 
facility's noise limited contour does not completely encompass the 
relevant channel 6 noise limited contour, KTVM-TV is an NBC affiliate 
and there are two other NBC affiliated stations that serve some of the 
portions of the loss area. The Petitioner also submitted an analysis,

that after taking into account service provided by the other NBC 
stations, all of the population located within KTVM-TV's original post-
transition channel 6 noise limited contour will continue to receive NBC 
service, except for 66 people. The Bureau used the technical parameters 
of KTVM-TV's original post-transition digital channel 6 facility (File 
Nos. BPCDT-20080314ADF and BLCDT-20090622ADT) in determining any 
predicted loss which may occur from the proposed channel substitution.
