Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
imminence of the effective date, seeking
prior notice and the opportunity for
public comment on this delay is
impractical. Specifically, if prior notice
and opportunity for public comment are
required to delay the effective date to
February 16, 2025, this final rule will
not be issued prior to February 16, 2024.
As a result, the current final rule will
become effective February 16, 2024, and
ambulance providers without contracts
in place would be subject to those
payment methodologies until contracts
have been implemented. For those
entities engaged in the contracting
process, this is likely to cause confusion
and uncertainty.
VA also finds that prior notice and
opportunity for comment would be
contrary to the public interest because it
could adversely impact veteran care or
result in veterans being billed directly
for services. Under the new regulation,
VA will pay the lesser of actual charge
associated with an air ambulance
service, or the CMS ambulance fee
schedule rate for that service, unless a
separate rate has been established based
on local contracts between air
ambulance providers and local VA
medical centers. As discussed above,
since publication of the final rule, VA
has received feedback that more time is
necessary to accommodate unforeseen
difficulties in air ambulance broker
contracting, which relate to air
ambulance brokers requiring a contract
or subcontract in place with all
potential air ambulance providers that
covers emergency, non-VA initiated
trips. The negotiation and
implementation of these contracts will
not be completed by February 16, 2024.
As a result, absent the delayed effective
date, the current final rule will go into
effect on February 16, 2024, and
ambulance providers would be subject
to those payment methodologies until
contracts have been implemented. This
could be especially concerning for those
entities whose negotiated rates could be
higher than the applicable CMS
ambulance fee schedule rate in the
event VA determines it may be justified
based on local considerations, such as
for rural areas. Air ambulance providers
contend that the Medicare
reimbursement rate that would apply
absent a contract is unsustainable for
their business operations, potentially
leading to reduction in the availability
of air ambulance services for veterans.
While VA is not aware that veterans are
currently receiving preferential
treatment from air ambulance providers
by virtue of VA paying billed charges,
or that such preferential treatment
would stop were VA to pay CMS

ambulance fee schedule rates in the
absence of a contract, VA acknowledges
that there is a risk that veterans could
be billed directly for the difference
between the Medicare rate that VA pays
for emergency, non-VA initiated trips
and the amount billed by the ambulance
provider. For these reasons, VA finds
that good cause exists to dispense with
the prior notice and public comment
procedures for this final rule, as it
concludes that such procedures are
impracticable and contrary to the public
interest pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B).

ADDRESSES:
I. Background
The background for this action is
discussed in detail in our August 22,
2023, proposal (88 FR 57014) and the
accompanying Technical Support
Document (TSD), available in the docket
for this rule. In our August 2023
proposal we proposed to approve
portions of the revisions to the Arkansas
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
including revisions to the Arkansas
Pollution Control and Ecology
Commission’s Regulation No. 19, Rules
of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation
for Air Pollution Control submitted by
the Arkansas Department of Energy and
Environment, Division of
Environmental Quality (ADEQ) via the
Arkansas Governor’s Office on June 22,
2022. The proposal included revisions
to remove certain outdated provisions
and update other provisions that are
incorporated into Regulation 19.
Specific provisions to be partially
repealed are those in Chapter 10 of
APC&EC Regulation 19 regarding the
control of volatile organic compounds
(VOC) from certain source categories in
Pulaski County, and provisions repealed
from the Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) in Chapter 14, and informational
provisions regarding sources eligible or
subject to best available retrofit
technology (BART) requirements for
Regional Haze in Chapter 15. All of the
repealed provisions were either
superseded by other rules or otherwise
no longer necessary. One of the
revisions restructured the regulations
and organized them as ‘‘rules,’’ such
that ‘‘Regulation No. 19’’ became ‘‘Rule
No. 19,’’ Rules of the Arkansas Plan of

Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Rules and Regulations
Implementation for Air Pollution
Control, with corresponding chapters
and appendices. Most of the revisions
are administrative in nature and make
the Arkansas SIP current with
applicable Federal Rules. We did not
receive any comments during the
requisite comment period regarding our
August 2023 proposal.

II. Final Action
We are approving portions of the
revisions submitted by the State of
Arkansas on June 22, 2022. We are
finalizing the action without changes
from our August 2023 proposal.
Specifically, we are approving the
following submitted revisions to
Regulation 19: Revisions to Chapters 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and
Appendices A and B; the partial repeal
of Regulation 19, Chapter 10 and repeal
of Regulation 19, Chapters 14, and 16;
and the new provision of Regulation 19,
Chapter 18. Finally, we are approving
the revision to rename Regulation 19 as
Rule 19. These changes reflect the
current organizational structure of
ADEQ, remove outdated information,
and make non-substantive formatting
edits. This action is being taken under
section 110 of the Act.
III. Environmental Justice
Consideration
The EPA reviewed demographic data
for groups of populations living within
Pulaski County, Arkansas. The EPA
then compared the data to the State of
Arkansas and the national average for
each of the demographic groups. The
result of this analysis is discussed in
detail in our proposal; and is provided
for informational and transparency
purposes.
This final action revises portions of
the Arkansas SIP including revisions to
Regulation 19 of the Arkansas Plan of
Implementation for Air Control. We
expect that this action and resulting
emissions reductions will generally be
neutral or contribute to reduced
environmental and health impacts on all
populations in the State of Arkansas,
including people of color and lowincome populations. The revisions
provide updates to the SIP and improve
clarity in the SIP so that the public can
read and understand what is currently
in the SIP. Further, there is no
information in the record indicating that
this action is expected to have
disproportionately high or adverse
human health or environmental effects
on a particular group of people.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:47 Dec 28, 2023
Jkt 262001
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference the revisions
to the Arkansas regulations as described
in Section II of this preamble, Final
Action. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov (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
SIP, 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 rule of
EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated in the next update to the
SIP compilation.
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 Clean Air 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 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• 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 subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because it approves a state program;
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001); and
• 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.
Executive Order 12898 (Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal
agencies to identify and address
‘‘disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects’’
of their actions on minority populations
and low-income populations to the
greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. EPA defines
environmental justice (EJ) as ‘‘the fair
treatment and meaningful involvement
of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect
to the development, implementation,
and enforcement of environmental laws,
regulations, and policies.’’ 1 EPA further
defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ‘‘no group of people should bear a
disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks,
including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of
industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and
policies.’’ 2
ADEQ did not evaluate environmental
justice considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation.
The EPA performed an environmental
justice analysis, as is described above in
the section titled, ‘‘Environmental
Justice Considerations.’’ The analysis
was done for the purpose of providing
additional context and information
about this rulemaking to the public, not
as a basis of the action. Due to the
nature of the action being taken here,
this action is expected to have a neutral
to positive impact on the air quality of
the affected area. In addition, there is no
information in the record upon which
this decision is based inconsistent with
the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of
achieving environmental justice for
people of color, low-income
populations, and Indigenous peoples.
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 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).
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 February 27, 2024. 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:
I. Background
In the Federal Register published on
November 30, 2020, the Department
issued the 2020 Final Rule establishing
four changes to the regulatory safe
harbors to the Federal anti-kickback
statute (section 1128B(b) of the Social
Security Act).1 Specifically, the 2020
Final Rule: (i) amended 42 CFR
1001.952(h)(5) to remove safe harbor
protection for reductions in price for
prescription pharmaceutical products
provided to plan sponsors under Part D
by making punctuation changes to
subparagraphs (5)(vi) and (vii) and
adding new subparagraph paragraph
1 85
PO 00000
FR 76666 (Nov. 30, 2020).
Frm 00041

(h)(5)(viii), (ii) added new paragraphs
(6)–(9) to 42 CFR 1001.952(h), (iii)
created a new safe harbor at 42 CFR
1001.952(cc) for certain point-of-sale
reductions in price offered by
manufacturers on prescription
pharmaceutical products that are
payable under Medicare Part D or by
Medicaid managed care organizations
that meet certain criteria, and (iv)
created a new safe harbor at 42 CFR
1001.952(dd) for fixed fees that
manufacturers pay to pharmacy benefit
managers for services rendered to the
manufacturers that meet specified
criteria. The 2020 Final Rule was
published with an effective date of
January 29, 2021, except for the
amendments to 42 CFR 1001.952(h)(5),
which were to be effective on January 1,
2022.
On January 12, 2021, a lawsuit
challenging the final rule was filed in
the U.S. District Court for the District of
Columbia.2 Because of orders in this
lawsuit and in response to a
Government memorandum regarding
postponing effective dates of rules that
had not yet taken effect, the effective
dates of various sections of these
amendments to the safe harbors were
extended multiple times between
January and March of 2021, and,
ultimately, the effective date of the
regulatory revisions established by the

[EPA-R06-OAR-2022-0907; FRL-11174-02-R6]
Air Plan Approval; Arkansas; Revisions to Rule 19 of the Arkansas
Plan
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act), the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving portions of the
revisions to the Arkansas State Implementation Plan (SIP) including
revisions to the Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission's
(``Commission'' or APC&EC) Rule No. 19, Rules of the Arkansas Plan of
Implementation for Air Pollution Control submitted by the Arkansas
Department of Energy and Environment, Division of Environmental Quality
(DEQ) via the Arkansas Governor's Office on June 22, 2022. Most of the
revisions are administrative in nature and make the SIP current with
Federal rules.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 29, 2024.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2022-0907. All documents in the docket are
listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information or other information whose disclosure
is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the internet. Publicly available docket
materials are available electronically through https://www.regulations.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clovis Steib, EPA Region 6 Office,
Infrastructure and Ozone Section, 214-665-7566, [email protected].
Please call or email the contact listed above if you need alternative
access to material indexed but not provided in the docket.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.
I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in our August
22, 2023, proposal (88 FR 57014) and the accompanying Technical Support
Document (TSD), available in the docket for this rule. In our August
2023 proposal we proposed to approve portions of the revisions to the
Arkansas State Implementation Plan (SIP) including revisions to the
Arkansas Pollution Control and Ecology Commission's Regulation No. 19,
Rules of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution Control
submitted by the Arkansas Department of Energy and Environment,
Division of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) via the Arkansas Governor's
Office on June 22, 2022. The proposal included revisions to remove
certain outdated provisions and update other provisions that are
incorporated into Regulation 19. Specific provisions to be partially
repealed are those in Chapter 10 of APC&EC Regulation 19 regarding the
control of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from certain source
categories in Pulaski County, and provisions repealed from the Clean
Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) in Chapter 14, and informational provisions
regarding sources eligible or subject to best available retrofit
technology (BART) requirements for Regional Haze in Chapter 15. All of
the repealed provisions were either superseded by other rules or
otherwise no longer necessary. One of the revisions restructured the
regulations and organized them as ``rules,'' such that ``Regulation No.
19'' became ``Rule No. 19,'' Rules of the Arkansas Plan of
[[Page 90122]]
Implementation for Air Pollution Control, with corresponding chapters
and appendices. Most of the revisions are administrative in nature and
make the Arkansas SIP current with applicable Federal Rules. We did not
receive any comments during the requisite comment period regarding our
August 2023 proposal.
II. Final Action
We are approving portions of the revisions submitted by the State
of Arkansas on June 22, 2022. We are finalizing the action without
changes from our August 2023 proposal. Specifically, we are approving
the following submitted revisions to Regulation 19: Revisions to
Chapters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, and Appendices A and B;
the partial repeal of Regulation 19, Chapter 10 and repeal of
Regulation 19, Chapters 14, and 16; and the new provision of Regulation
19, Chapter 18. Finally, we are approving the revision to rename
Regulation 19 as Rule 19. These changes reflect the current
organizational structure of ADEQ, remove outdated information, and make
non-substantive formatting edits. This action is being taken under
section 110 of the Act.
III. Environmental Justice Consideration
The EPA reviewed demographic data for groups of populations living
within Pulaski County, Arkansas. The EPA then compared the data to the
State of Arkansas and the national average for each of the demographic
groups. The result of this analysis is discussed in detail in our
proposal; and is provided for informational and transparency purposes.
This final action revises portions of the Arkansas SIP including
revisions to Regulation 19 of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for
Air Control. We expect that this action and resulting emissions
reductions will generally be neutral or contribute to reduced
environmental and health impacts on all populations in the State of
Arkansas, including people of color and low-income populations. The
revisions provide updates to the SIP and improve clarity in the SIP so
that the public can read and understand what is currently in the SIP.
Further, there is no information in the record indicating that this
action is expected to have disproportionately high or adverse human
health or environmental effects on a particular group of people.
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 the
revisions to the Arkansas regulations as described in Section II of
this preamble, Final Action. The EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov
(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 SIP,
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 rule of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated in the next update to the SIP compilation.
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 Clean Air 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
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.
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' \1\ EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean
that ``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.'' \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See https://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/learn-about-environmental-justice.
\2\ https://www.epa.gov/environmentaljustice/learn-about-environmental-justice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADEQ did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as part
of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations
neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA performed an
environmental justice analysis, as is described above in the section
titled, ``Environmental Justice Considerations.'' The analysis was done
for the purpose of providing additional context and information about
this rulemaking to the public, not as a basis of the action. Due to the
nature of the action being taken here, this action is expected to have
a neutral to positive impact on the air quality of the affected area.
In addition, there is no information in the record upon which this
decision is based inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of
achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-income
populations, and Indigenous peoples.
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
[[Page 90123]]
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 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).
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 February 27, 2024. 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).)
