SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
The SIP is a living document that a
state revises as necessary to address its
unique air pollution problems.
Therefore, from time to time, the EPA
must take action on SIP revisions
containing new and/or revised
regulations, approving and
incorporating them by reference into the
SIP. On May 22, 1997, the EPA revised
the procedures for incorporating by
reference federally approved SIP
provisions, as a result of consultations
between the EPA and the Office of the
Federal Register (OFR) (62 FR 27968).
The description of the revised SIP
document, IBR procedures and
‘‘Identification of plan’’ format is
discussed in further detail in the May
22, 1997, Federal Register document.
On April 10, 2014, the EPA published
a Federal Register beginning the new
IBR procedure for Alaska (79 FR 19820).
The EPA subsequently published an
update to the IBR materials for Alaska
on December 8, 2017 (82 FR 57836).
Since then, the EPA has approved and
incorporated by reference the following
provisions of Alaska Administrative
Code (18 AAC 50) into the Alaska SIP.
A. Added Regulations

II. EPA Action
In this action, the EPA is announcing
the update to the Alaska materials
approved and incorporated by reference
into the Alaska SIP at 40 CFR 52.70 as
of February 10, 2022. The EPA is also
correcting typographical errors and
rearranging and republishing the
contents of 40 CFR 52.70. Specifically,
in subsection 52.70(c), we are correcting
errors in the entries for 18 AAC 50.077
Standards for Wood-Fired Heating
Devices (regulating the types of heating
devices allowed to be installed and used
in certain areas) and 18 AAC 50.230
Preapproved Emission Limits
(establishing pre-approved nitrogen
oxide emission limits for certain diesel
engines) to accurately reflect the
portions of these rule sections that were
not submitted by the State and were not
approved into the SIP (87 FR 7722,
February 10, 2022). We are also
correcting section 52.70(c) by removing
the entry for the Ordinance of the City
and Borough of Juneau, No. 91–52
(regulating smoke from wood burning in
the Mendenhall Valley) which was
superseded by our approval of the
Ordinance of the City and Borough of
Juneau, Serial No. 2008–28 (regulating
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:04 Dec 09, 2022
Jkt 259001
solid fuel fired burning devices in the
Mendenhall Valley) (May 9, 2013, 78 FR
27071). The EPA is also rearranging and
republishing the contents of sections
52.70(c) and (e) to align the contents
with the outline of the Alaska state plan
volumes and sections.
The EPA has determined that this rule
falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ exemption
in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedures Act (APA)
which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’
authorizes agencies to dispense with
public participation and section
553(d)(3) which allows an agency to
make a rule effective immediately
(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed
effective date otherwise provided for in
the APA). This rule simply codifies
provisions which are already in effect as
a matter of law in Federal and approved
state programs. Under section 553 of the
APA, an agency may find good cause
where procedures are ‘‘impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.’’ Public comment is
‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the
public interest’’ since the codification
only reflects existing law. Immediate
notice in the CFR benefits the public by
removing outdated citations and
incorrect table entries.
III. 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 updating its
compilation of state and local
regulations included in the Alaska SIP
by finalizing the incorporation by
reference of previously EPA-approved
regulations promulgated by Alaska and
federally effective prior to February 10,
2022. These include new and revised
provisions as listed in sections I.A. and
I.B. of this preamble. The EPA is also
removing certain provisions from the
SIP as listed in section I.C. of this
preamble. Lastly, the EPA is also
correcting typographical errors and
rearranging and republishing the
contents of 52.70(c). The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 10 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (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);
PO 00000
Frm 00043
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
75933
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);
• 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
this action does not involve technical
standards; and
• Does not provide the 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 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 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.
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
E:\FR\FM\12DER1.SGM
12DER1
75934
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 237 / Monday, December 12, 2022 / Rules and Regulations
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of the Alaska
regulations described in sections I and
II of this preamble. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these
documents generally available
electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the appropriate EPA office (see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble
for more information).
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and the 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).
The EPA has also determined that the
provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the
CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial
review are not applicable to this action.
Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each
individual component of the Alaska SIP
compilations had previously afforded
interested parties the opportunity to file
a petition for judicial review in the
United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit within 60 days of
such rulemaking action. Thus, the EPA
sees no need in this action to reopen the
60-day period for filing such petitions
for judicial review for this
‘‘Identification of plan’’ update action
for Alaska.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The SIP is a living document that a state revises as necessary to
address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, from time to
time, the EPA must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or
revised regulations, approving and incorporating them by reference into
the SIP. On May 22, 1997, the EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference federally approved SIP provisions, as a
result of consultations between the EPA and the Office of the Federal
Register (OFR) (62 FR 27968). The description of the revised SIP
document, IBR procedures and ``Identification of plan'' format is
discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997, Federal Register
document. On April 10, 2014, the EPA published a Federal Register
beginning the new IBR procedure for Alaska (79 FR 19820). The EPA
subsequently published an update to the IBR materials for Alaska on
December 8, 2017 (82 FR 57836). Since then, the EPA has approved and
incorporated by reference the following provisions of Alaska
Administrative Code (18 AAC 50) into the Alaska SIP.

II. EPA Action
In this action, the EPA is announcing the update to the Alaska
materials approved and incorporated by reference into the Alaska SIP at
40 CFR 52.70 as of February 10, 2022. The EPA is also correcting
typographical errors and rearranging and republishing the contents of
40 CFR 52.70. Specifically, in subsection 52.70(c), we are correcting
errors in the entries for 18 AAC 50.077 Standards for Wood-Fired
Heating Devices (regulating the types of heating devices allowed to be
installed and used in certain areas) and 18 AAC 50.230 Preapproved
Emission Limits (establishing pre-approved nitrogen oxide emission
limits for certain diesel engines) to accurately reflect the portions
of these rule sections that were not submitted by the State and were
not approved into the SIP (87 FR 7722, February 10, 2022). We are also
correcting section 52.70(c) by removing the entry for the Ordinance of
the City and Borough of Juneau, No. 91-52 (regulating smoke from wood
burning in the Mendenhall Valley) which was superseded by our approval
of the Ordinance of the City and Borough of Juneau, Serial No. 2008-28
(regulating solid fuel fired burning devices in the Mendenhall Valley)
(May 9, 2013, 78 FR 27071). The EPA is also rearranging and
republishing the contents of sections 52.70(c) and (e) to align the
contents with the outline of the Alaska state plan volumes and
sections.
The EPA has determined that this rule falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes
agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3)
which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby
avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in
the APA). This rule simply codifies provisions which are already in
effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs. Under
section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures
are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.''
Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public
interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate
notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated citations
and incorrect table entries.
III. 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 updating its compilation of state and local
regulations included in the Alaska SIP by finalizing the incorporation
by reference of previously EPA-approved regulations promulgated by
Alaska and federally effective prior to February 10, 2022. These
include new and revised provisions as listed in sections I.A. and I.B.
of this preamble. The EPA is also removing certain provisions from the
SIP as listed in section I.C. of this preamble. Lastly, the EPA is also
correcting typographical errors and rearranging and republishing the
contents of 52.70(c). The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at
the EPA Region 10 Office (please contact the person identified in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (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, 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);
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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
Does not provide the 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 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 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.
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
[[Page 75934]]
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
Alaska regulations described in sections I and II of this preamble. The
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section of this
preamble for more information).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the 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).
The EPA has also determined that the provisions of section
307(b)(1) of the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are
not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each
individual component of the Alaska SIP compilations had previously
afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for
judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, the
EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing
such petitions for judicial review for this ``Identification of plan''
update action for Alaska.
