[Federal Register Volume 80, Number 157 (Friday, August 14, 2015)] [Rules and Regulations] [Pages 48718-48730] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2015-19588] ======================================================================= ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [EPA-R07-OAR-2015-0103 FRL-9926-85-Region 7] Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Iowa; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is updating the materials submitted by Iowa that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the state implementation plan (SIP). EPA is also notifying the public of the correction of certain typographical errors within the IBR table. The regulations affected by this update have been previously submitted by the state agency and approved by EPA. This update affects the SIP materials that are available for public inspection at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), and the Regional Office. DATES: This rule is effective on August 14, 2015. ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, 11201 Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 66219; or at http://www.epa.gov/region07/air/rules/fedapprv.htm; For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call (202) 741-6030, or go to: www.archives.gov/federal-register/cfr/ibr-locations.html. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jan Simpson at (913) 551-7089, or by email at simpson.jan@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The SIP is a living document which the state revises as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations to make them part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office of Federal Register. The description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and ``Identification of plan'' format are discussed in further detail in the May 22, 1997, Federal Register document. On February 12, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal Register (64 FR 7091) beginning the new IBR procedure for Iowa. On September 23, 2004 (69 FR 56942), and on July 29, 2009, (74 FR 37556) EPA published an update to the IBR material for Iowa. In this document, EPA is publishing an updated set of tables listing the regulatory (i.e., IBR) materials in the Iowa SIP taking into account the additions, deletions, and revisions to those materials previously submitted by the state agency and approved by EPA. We are removing the EPA Headquarters Library from paragraph (b)(3), as IBR materials are no longer available at this location. In addition, EPA has found errors in certain entries listed in 40 CFR 52.820(c), as amended in the published IBR update actions listed above, and is correcting them in this document. Table (c) revisions include:Adding the inadvertent omission of the following explanation to the explanation column for 567.22.1 (Permits Required for New or Existing Stationary Sources): In 22.1(3) the following sentence regarding electronic submission is not SIP approved. The sentence is ``Alternatively, the owner or operator may apply for a construction permit for a new or modified stationary source through the electronic submittal format specified by the department''. Adding the inadvertent omission of the following explanation to the explanation column for 567-22.3 (Issuing Permits): Subrule 22.3(6) has not been approved as part of the SIP. Subrule 22.3(6), Limits on Hazardous Air Pollutants, has been approved under Title V and section 112(l). The remainder of the rule has not been approved pursuant to Title V and section 112(l). 567.22.105 (Title V Permit Applications): Correcting the state effective date, correcting the EPA approval date column to the correct date and Federal Register citation, and adding the inadvertent omission of the following explanation to the explanation column: In 22.105(1) Duty to apply the last sentence ``Alternatively, an owner or operator may submit a complete and timely application through the electronic submittal format specified by the department.'' is not approved. In 22.105(1) ``a'' new subparagraph (9) is not approved. Adding the inadvertent omission of the following explanation to the explanation column for 567-23.1 (Emission Standards): Sections 23.1(2)-(5) are not approved in the SIP. Section 23.1(5) is approved as part of the 111(d) plan. Table (e) revisions include: Adding text in the explanation column for (4)-(39). II. EPA Action In this action, EPA is doing the following: A. Announcing the update to the IBR material as of December 31, 2014; B. Revising the entry in paragraph 52.820(b) to reflect the update and corrections; C. Revising certain entries in paragraph 52.820 (c) as described above; D. Correcting the date format in the ``State effective date'' or ``State submittal date'' and ``EPA approval date'' columns in paragraphs 52.820 (c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical month/day/year without additional zeros; E. Modifying the Federal Register citation in paragraphs 52.820 (c), (d) and (e) to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to the page number of the regulatory text. EPA has determined that today's 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). Today's 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 [[Page 48719]] providing notice of the updated Iowa SIP compilation. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Iowa regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. 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). Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the 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 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'' under the terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 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 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). 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). 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 Iowa SIP compilations 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, 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'' reorganization update action for the State of Iowa.
