ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving, under the
Clean Air Act (CAA), revisions to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the Michigan Department
of Environment, Great Lakes, and
Energy (EGLE) on June 30, 2021. The
revisions address the emission
inventory requirements for the St. Clair
County nonattainment area under the
2010 sulfur dioxide (SO2) National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS
or standard). The CAA requires states to
develop and submit, as SIP revisions,
emission inventories for all areas
designated as nonattainment for any
NAAQS. EPA proposed to approve this
action on October 26, 2021, and
received no adverse comments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
I. Background Information
On October 26, 2021, EPA proposed
to approve revisions to Michigan’s SIP
addressing the SO2 emissions inventory
requirement of CAA section 172(c)(3)
and certification of a fully approved
Nonattainment New Source Review
(NSR) program for the partial St. Clair
County SO2 nonattainment area for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS (86 FR 59073). An
explanation of the CAA requirements, a
detailed analysis of the revisions, and
EPA’s reasons for proposing approval
were provided in the notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) and will not be
restated here. The public comment
period for this proposed rule ended on
November 26, 2021. EPA received no
comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving EGLE’s SIP revision
submitted to address the SO2-related
emission inventory and NSR
certification requirements for the partial
St. Clair County SO2 nonattainment area
for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. A Clean Data
Determination for the St. Clair County
area was finalized in a separate action
on December 6, 2021 (86 FR 69173). The
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
7387
emission inventory we are approving
into the SIP is specified in Table 1 of the
NPRM (86 FR 59073). We are approving
the emission inventory because it
contains comprehensive, accurate, and
current inventories of actual emissions
for all relevant sources in accordance
with CAA section 172(c)(3), and because
EGLE adopted the emission inventories
after providing reasonable public notice.
EPA is also approving the certification
of Michigan’s fully approved NSR
program, which was approved by the
EPA into the SIP on December 16, 2013
(78 FR 76064) and meets the
requirements of CAA section 172(c)(5).
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
CAA 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 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);
• 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
E:\FR\FM\09FER1.SGM
09FER1
7388
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 9, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
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).
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).
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and EPA will
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. 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 April 11, 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: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

I. Background Information
On October 26, 2021, EPA proposed to approve revisions to
Michigan's SIP addressing the SO2 emissions inventory
requirement of CAA section 172(c)(3) and certification of a fully
approved Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) program for the partial
St. Clair County SO2 nonattainment area for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS (86 FR 59073). An explanation of the CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the revisions, and EPA's reasons
for proposing approval were provided in the notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) and will not be restated here. The public comment
period for this proposed rule ended on November 26, 2021. EPA received
no comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving EGLE's SIP revision submitted to address the
SO2-related emission inventory and NSR certification
requirements for the partial St. Clair County SO2
nonattainment area for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. A Clean Data
Determination for the St. Clair County area was finalized in a separate
action on December 6, 2021 (86 FR 69173). The emission inventory we are
approving into the SIP is specified in Table 1 of the NPRM (86 FR
59073). We are approving the emission inventory because it contains
comprehensive, accurate, and current inventories of actual emissions
for all relevant sources in accordance with CAA section 172(c)(3), and
because EGLE adopted the emission inventories after providing
reasonable public notice. EPA is also approving the certification of
Michigan's fully approved NSR program, which was approved by the EPA
into the SIP on December 16, 2013 (78 FR 76064) and meets the
requirements of CAA section 172(c)(5).
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 CAA 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 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);
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
[[Page 7388]]
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).
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).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. 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 April 11, 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).)
