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 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).
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. The 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 August 2, 2021. 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)).

I. Background and Purpose
On March 25, 2021 (86 FR 15844),
EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of
Maine.
The NPRM proposed approval of
Maine’s SIP revision incorporating
Maine’s revisions to C.M.R. ch. 119
Motor Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits that
remove the State’s requirement for the
sale of RFG in the southern Maine

counties, and also proposed approval of
Maine’s statute at 38 M.R.S. § 585–N as
amended by Public Law 2019, c. 55, § 1,
which repealed the State’s requirement
for the sale of RFG in the southern
Maine counties effective November 1,
2020.
The formal SIP revision was
submitted by Maine on August 20, 2020.
Other specific requirements to opt-out
of the federal RFG requirements and the
rationale for EPA’s proposed action are
explained in the NPRM and will not be
restated here. Three public comments
were received on the NPRM.
II. Response to Comments
EPA received three comments during
the comment period. The three
comments support EPA’s proposal to
approve Maine’s SIP revision.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the August 20, 2020
SIP revision and approving, but not
incorporating into the SIP, the State’s
corresponding noninterference
demonstration.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference into Maine’s
SIP Maine’s revisions to C.M.R. ch. 119
Motor Vehicle Fuel Volatility Limits that
remove the State’s requirement for the
sale of RFG in the southern Maine
counties and is also approving into
Maine’s SIP Maine’s statute at 38 M.R.S.
§ 585–N as amended by Public Law
2019, c. 55, § 1, which repealed the
State’s requirement for the sale of RFG
in the southern Maine counties, as
described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through
https://www.regulations.gov and at the
EPA Region 1 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the
State implementation plan, have been
incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA
as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will
be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.1

V. 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,
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 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

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 August 2, 2021.
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).)

same manner as state land, reservation
areas of Indian country and any other
area of Indian country within it where
the EPA or a tribe has demonstrated that
the tribe has jurisdiction located within
the boundaries of the San Diego County
ozone nonattainment area. The new
applicable attainment dates for the San
Diego County ozone nonattainment area
are as expeditious as practicable but no
later than July 20, 2027, for the 2008
ozone NAAQS, and August 3, 2033, for
the 2015 ozone NAAQS. With respect to
Severe state implementation plan (SIP)
element submittal dates that have
passed, the EPA is approving a deadline
of no later than 12 months from the
effective date of this rule for submittal
of revisions to the San Diego County
portion of the California SIP to meet
additional requirements for Severe
ozone nonattainment areas to the extent
that such revisions have not already
been submitted.

I. Background and Purpose
On March 25, 2021 (86 FR 15844), EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of Maine.
The NPRM proposed approval of Maine's SIP revision incorporating
Maine's revisions to C.M.R. ch. 119 Motor Vehicle Fuel Volatility
Limits that remove the State's requirement for the sale of RFG in the
southern Maine counties, and also proposed approval of Maine's statute
at 38 M.R.S. Sec. 585-N as amended by Public Law 2019, c. 55, Sec. 1,
which repealed the State's requirement for the sale of RFG in the
southern Maine counties effective November 1, 2020.
The formal SIP revision was submitted by Maine on August 20, 2020.
Other specific requirements to opt-out of the federal RFG requirements
and the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained in the NPRM
and will not be restated here. Three public comments were received on
the NPRM.
II. Response to Comments
EPA received three comments during the comment period. The three
comments support EPA's proposal to approve Maine's SIP revision.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the August 20, 2020 SIP revision and approving,
but not incorporating into the SIP, the State's corresponding
noninterference demonstration.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR

V. 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

Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal

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

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

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

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
[[Page 29522]]
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

the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,

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

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 August 2, 2021. 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).)
