Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
I. Background
On December 6, 2018, EPA issued a
final rule entitled ‘‘Implementation of
the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality
Standards for ozone: State
Implementation Plan Requirements’’
(SIP Requirements Rule), which
establishes the requirements that state,
tribal, and local air quality management
agencies must meet as they develop
implementation plans for areas where
air quality exceeds the 2015 8-hour
ozone NAAQS. See 83 FR 62998; 40
CFR part 51, subpart CC.
Based on the nonattainment
designation for the 2015 8-hour ozone
standard, Georgia was required to
develop a SIP revision addressing the
requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(5)
and 173 for the Atlanta Area. See 42
U.S.C. 7502(c). Section 172(c)(5) of the
CAA requires each state with a
nonattainment area to submit a SIP
revision requiring NNSR permits in the
nonattainment area in accordance with
the permitting requirements of CAA
section 173. The minimum SIP
requirements for NNSR permitting for
the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS are
located in 40 CFR 51.165. See 40 CFR
51.1314. On July 2, 2020, Georgia
submitted a SIP revision addressing,
among other things,1 permit program
requirements (i.e., NNSR) for the 2015
8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Atlanta
Area.
On December 2, 2021, EPA published
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) proposing to approve the July 2,
2020, SIP revision regarding 2015 8hour Ozone Nonattainment New Source
Review Permit Program Requirements
for the Atlanta Area. See 86 FR 68447.
The December 2, 2021, NPRM provides
additional detail regarding the
background and rationale for EPA’s
action. Comments on the December 2,
2021, NPRM were due on or before
January 3, 2022. EPA received no
comments on the December 2, 2021,
NPRM.

II. Final Action
EPA is approving Georgia’s SIP
revision addressing the NNSR
requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone
NAAQS for the Atlanta Area, submitted
on July 2, 2020. EPA has concluded that
Georgia’s submission fulfills the 40 CFR
51.1314 requirement and meets the
requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(5)
and 173 and the minimum SIP
requirements of 40 CFR 51.165.

addressed in separate rulemakings.

III. 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.
See 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 CAA. 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 CAA; 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 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 as specified by Executive
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.
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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by March 28, 2022. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
553(b)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),
provides that, when an agency for good
cause finds that public notice and
comment procedures are impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest, the agency may issue a rule
without providing notice and an
opportunity for public comment. EPA
has determined that there is good cause
for making this rule final without
proposal and opportunity for comment
because such notice and opportunity for
comment is unnecessary for the
following reasons: EPA is making
minor, non-substantive changes to a
final rule, ‘‘Revisions to the Unregulated
Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5)
for Public Water Systems,’’ that
appeared in the Federal Register on
December 27, 2021. These corrections
do not change any final action taken by
EPA on December 27, 2021; rather, they
simply clarify the logistical instructions
to the Office of the Federal Register to
amend 40 CFR part 141. Thus, notice
and comment is unnecessary because
the public has previously had the
opportunity to comment on the
proposed action finalized on December
27, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
[[Page 3678]]
I. Background
On December 6, 2018, EPA issued a final rule entitled
``Implementation of the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality Standards for
ozone: State Implementation Plan Requirements'' (SIP Requirements
Rule), which establishes the requirements that state, tribal, and local
air quality management agencies must meet as they develop
implementation plans for areas where air quality exceeds the 2015 8-
hour ozone NAAQS. See 83 FR 62998; 40 CFR part 51, subpart CC.
Based on the nonattainment designation for the 2015 8-hour ozone
standard, Georgia was required to develop a SIP revision addressing the
requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(5) and 173 for the Atlanta Area.
See 42 U.S.C. 7502(c). Section 172(c)(5) of the CAA requires each state
with a nonattainment area to submit a SIP revision requiring NNSR
permits in the nonattainment area in accordance with the permitting
requirements of CAA section 173. The minimum SIP requirements for NNSR
permitting for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS are located in 40 CFR
51.165. See 40 CFR 51.1314. On July 2, 2020, Georgia submitted a SIP
revision addressing, among other things,\1\ permit program requirements
(i.e., NNSR) for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Atlanta Area.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The other elements of this submittal are being addressed in
separate rulemakings.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 2, 2021, EPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) proposing to approve the July 2, 2020, SIP revision regarding
2015 8-hour Ozone Nonattainment New Source Review Permit Program
Requirements for the Atlanta Area. See 86 FR 68447. The December 2,
2021, NPRM provides additional detail regarding the background and
rationale for EPA's action. Comments on the December 2, 2021, NPRM were
due on or before January 3, 2022. EPA received no comments on the
December 2, 2021, NPRM.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Georgia's SIP revision addressing the NNSR
requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Atlanta Area,
submitted on July 2, 2020. EPA has concluded that Georgia's submission
fulfills the 40 CFR 51.1314 requirement and meets the requirements of
CAA sections 172(c)(5) and 173 and the minimum SIP requirements of 40
CFR 51.165.
III. 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. See 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 CAA. 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 CAA; 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 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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by March 28, 2022. 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).
