ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is making a final
determination that the St. Clair, MI
sulfur dioxide (SO2) nonattainment area
attained the 2010 SO2 national ambient
air quality standard (NAAQS) by the
date of September 12, 2021, addressing
EPA’s obligation under the Clean Air
Act (CAA) to determine whether the
area attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
attainment date. EPA proposed this
action on September 26, 2024, and
received no comments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
January 27, 2025.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID

I. Background
On September 26, 2024 (89 FR 78837),
EPA proposed to determine that the St.
Clair, MI SO2 nonattainment area
attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the
attainment date of September 12, 2021.
This determination is based on annual
SO2 emissions data, modeled data, and
certified ambient air quality data from
EPA’s December 7, 2021, Clean Data
Determination for St. Clair, based on
2017 to 2019 data, as well as publicly
available additional supporting 2020
data. A detailed explanation of the CAA
requirements 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 October 28,
2024. EPA received no comments on the
proposal.
II. Final Determination
EPA is making a determination that
the St. Clair nonattainment area attained
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the relevant
attainment date of September 12, 2021.
The determination of attainment by the
attainment date does not constitute a
redesignation of the St. Clair, MI
nonattainment area to attainment of the
2010 SO2 NAAQS under section
107(d)(3) of the CAA. The St. Clair area
will remain designated nonattainment
for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS until such
time as EPA approves a redesignation
request and accompanying 10-year
E:\FR\FM\26DER1.SGM
26DER1
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 247 / Thursday, December 26, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
maintenance plan, and EPA determines
that the area meets the requirements of
CAA section 107(d)(3) and provides for
maintenance as required by CAA
section 175A.
This final action will address EPA’s
obligation under CAA section 179(c) to
determine if the St. Clair Area attained
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the attainment
date of September 12, 2021.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review, and Executive
Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory
Review
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and is therefore not
subject to review under Executive Order
14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the
provisions of the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.). This action does not
contain any information collection
activities and serves only to make a final
determination that the St. Clair,
Michigan nonattainment area attained
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the September
12, 2021, attainment date.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the RFA (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
The determination of attainment by
attainment date action of attaining the
2010 SO2 NAAQS will not impose any
requirements on small entities or will
not create any new requirements beyond
what is mandated by the CAA.
ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with RULES1
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)
This action does not contain any
unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does
not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. The action imposes no
enforceable duty on any state, local or
tribal governments or the private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. The division of
responsibility between the Federal
government and the states for purposes
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:29 Dec 23, 2024
Jkt 265001
of implementing the NAAQS is
established under the CAA.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), requires EPA to
develop an accountable process to
ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by
Tribal officials in the development of
regulatory policies that have Tribal
implications.’’ This action does not have
Tribal implications as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action does
not apply on any Indian reservation
land, any other area where EPA or an
Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a
Tribe has jurisdiction, or nonreservation areas of Indian country.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045
(62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as
applying to those regulatory actions that
concern environmental health or safety
risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory
action’’ in section 2–202 of the
Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not establish an
environmental standard intended to
mitigate health or safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22,
2001) because it is not a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve
technical standards. Therefore, EPA is
not considering the use of any voluntary
consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
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 communities with
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
104885
environmental justice (EJ) concerns to
the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. Executive Order
14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s
Commitment to Environmental Justice
for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023)
builds on and supplements E.O. 12898
and defines EJ as, among other things,
the just treatment and meaningful
involvement of all people, regardless of
income, race, color, national origin, or
Tribal affiliation, or disability in agency
decision-making and other Federal
activities that affect human health and
the environment.’’
EPA did not perform an EJ analysis
and did not consider EJ in this 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.
Consideration of EJ is not required as
part of this action, and there is no
information in the record inconsistent
with the stated goal of E.O. 12898/14096
of achieving EJ for communities with EJ
concerns.
K. Congressional Review Act
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).
L. Judicial Review
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 24, 2025. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this rule 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).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is making a final
determination that the St. Clair, MI sulfur dioxide (SO2)
nonattainment area attained the 2010 SO2 national ambient
air quality standard (NAAQS) by the date of September 12, 2021,
addressing EPA's obligation under the Clean Air Act (CAA) to determine
whether the area attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS attainment
date. EPA proposed this action on September 26, 2024, and received no
comments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on January 27, 2025.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.
I. Background
On September 26, 2024 (89 FR 78837), EPA proposed to determine that
the St. Clair, MI SO2 nonattainment area attained the 2010
SO2 NAAQS by the attainment date of September 12, 2021. This
determination is based on annual SO2 emissions data, modeled
data, and certified ambient air quality data from EPA's December 7,
2021, Clean Data Determination for St. Clair, based on 2017 to 2019
data, as well as publicly available additional supporting 2020 data. A
detailed explanation of the CAA requirements 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 October 28, 2024. EPA received no comments
on the proposal.
II. Final Determination
EPA is making a determination that the St. Clair nonattainment area
attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the relevant attainment date
of September 12, 2021. The determination of attainment by the
attainment date does not constitute a redesignation of the St. Clair,
MI nonattainment area to attainment of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
under section 107(d)(3) of the CAA. The St. Clair area will remain
designated nonattainment for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS until such
time as EPA approves a redesignation request and accompanying 10-year
[[Page 104885]]
maintenance plan, and EPA determines that the area meets the
requirements of CAA section 107(d)(3) and provides for maintenance as
required by CAA section 175A.
This final action will address EPA's obligation under CAA section
179(c) to determine if the St. Clair Area attained the 2010
SO2 NAAQS by the attainment date of September 12, 2021.
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review, and Executive
Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Order 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This action
does not contain any information collection activities and serves only
to make a final determination that the St. Clair, Michigan
nonattainment area attained the 2010 SO2 NAAQS by the
September 12, 2021, attainment date.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The determination of attainment by attainment date
action of attaining the 2010 SO2 NAAQS will not impose any
requirements on small entities or will not create any new requirements
beyond what is mandated by the CAA.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local or tribal governments or the private sector.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government. The
division of responsibility between the Federal government and the
states for purposes of implementing the NAAQS is established under the
CAA.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), requires EPA
to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely
input by Tribal officials in the development of regulatory policies
that have Tribal implications.'' This action does not have Tribal
implications as specified in Executive Order 13175. This action does
not apply on any Indian reservation land, any other area where EPA or
an Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction, or non-
reservation areas of Indian country. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does
not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
as applying to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not
establish an environmental standard intended to mitigate health or
safety risks.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355,
May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. Therefore,
EPA is not considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
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 communities with environmental justice
(EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
Executive Order 14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to
Environmental Justice for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) builds on
and supplements E.O. 12898 and defines EJ as, among other things, the
just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of
income, race, color, national origin, or Tribal affiliation, or
disability in agency decision-making and other Federal activities that
affect human health and the environment.''
EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this
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. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this
action, and there is no information in the record inconsistent with the
stated goal of E.O. 12898/14096 of achieving EJ for communities with EJ
concerns.
K. Congressional Review Act
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).
L. Judicial Review
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 24, 2025. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this rule 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).
