Program. These revisions include renumbering, revisions to the date of 
incorporation by reference of the federal regulations referenced

regarding variance provisions and clean units. EPA is also clarifying a 
final rule issued on January 29, 2015 pertaining to South Dakota's 
infrastructure SIP. This action is being taken in accordance with 
section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on November 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    South Dakota's July 29, 2013 submittal covers the following rule 
changes: (1) Removal of obsolete language regarding variance provisions 
and clean units, and renumbering to reflect the deletions; and (2) 
Revisions to the date of federal regulations referenced throughout ARSD 
Article 74:36 to July 1, 2012. A cross-walk table that identifies EPA's 
action on South Dakota's revisions is included in the docket for this 
rulemaking.
    South Dakota's July 29, 2013 submittal also requests EPA approval 
of rule revisions for provisions that are not required to be included 
in SIPs under section 110 of the CAA, most notably additions to the 
State's New Source Performance Standards, National Emissions Standards 
for Hazardous Air Pollutants and Title V permitting. These revisions, 
on which EPA is not taking action, are outlined in the cross-walk table 
located in the docket for this rulemaking.

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is finalizing action on South Dakota's July 29, 2013 submittal 
as outlined in Section III. of the proposal published on July 14, 2015, 
with one exception; EPA's proposed approval of South Dakota's updates 
to 74:36:05, ``Operating Permits for Part 70 Sources,'' as part of its 
July 14, 2015 action (80 FR 40953). EPA published a notice of 
correction of the proposal on August 24, 2015 (80 FR 51152), because 
CAA Title V requirements are not subject to Section 110 of the Clean 
Air Act and are thus not required to be incorporated into a SIP. 
Therefore, EPA is not taking any action on South Dakota's updates to 
74:36:05.

III. Clarification of January 29, 2015 Final Action

    Under CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2), states are required to submit 
infrastructure SIPs to ensure their SIPs provide for implementation, 
maintenance, and enforcement of the National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS). On January 29, 2015, EPA took final action on the 
infrastructure submittals which addressed several different NAAQS from 
the State of South Dakota (80 FR 4799). As part of the January 29, 2015 
action, EPA approved South Dakota's 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS 
interstate transport infrastructure sub-element (CAA section 
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)). However, EPA had already approved this sub-
element in a final rulemaking on May 8, 2008 (73 FR 26019, effective 
July 7, 2008). Therefore, in this action EPA is clarifying that no 
action was required on this sub-element for this NAAQS in the January 
29, 2015 approval of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for the 1997 
PM2.5

[[Page 59621]]

NAAQS and the effective date of approval remains July 7, 2008.

IV. Response to Comments

    EPA received one comment on the July 14, 2015 proposal with respect 
to air quality measurements. EPA acknowledges this comment but does not 
consider the comment to be relevant to the proposed action.

V. Summary of Action

    In this rulemaking, EPA is approving most remaining portions of 
South Dakota's July 29, 2013 submittal as outlined in the crosswalk 
table located in the docket for this action. EPA is not taking action 
on certain portions of this submittal as described in the proposed 
rulemaking and the notice of correction to the proposal. Finally, EPA 
is also clarifying no action was required in the January 29, 2015 final 
action (80 FR 4799) regarding the effective date of approval for South 
Dakota's SIP regarding CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for the 1997 
PM2.5 NAAQS as EPA had already approved this sub-element in 
a prior rulemaking.

VI. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rulemaking, EPA is including final EPA rule regulatory text 
that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the 
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is incorporating by reference the rules 
in ARSD Article 74:36 submitted by South Dakota for action which are 
identified within this notice of rulemaking. 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 rule's preamble for more 
information).

VII. 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 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 Order 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 
in 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 Clean Air Act; 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).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 1, 2015. 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 CAA section 307(b)(2)).
