ACTION: Final rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing its proposal to approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Louisiana. These rule revisions are the 2007 General Revisions, and 2008-2010 Miscellaneous Rule Revisions to the SIP that were submitted by the State of Louisiana. The overall intended outcome is to make the approved Louisiana SIP consistent with current Federal and State requirements. This action is in accordance with the federal Clean Air Act (the Act). DATES: This rule is effective on February 29, 2016. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA-R06-OAR-2012-0434. All documents in the docket are listed on the www.regulations.gov Web site. 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 and will be publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are available either electronically through www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the Air Planning Section (6MM-AA), Environmental Protection Agency, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733. The file will be made available by appointment for public inspection in the Region 6 FOIA Review Room between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays except for legal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to EPA. I. Background On November 5, 2015 (80 FR 68481) we proposed to approve revision to the Louisiana SIP that the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) submitted to EPA on August 14, 2009, and August 29, 2013. The Louisiana rule revisions submittals, corresponding Chapters, and type of action that we proposed are in Table 1 below. Table 1--Submittals, Their Corresponding Chapters, and Action Type ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Revisions to LAC 33:III Submittals Calendar year chapters being acted upon Action ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Miscellaneous rules..................... 2008-2010 7, 13..................... Proposed Approval. General revisions....................... 2007 1, 9, 11, 13, 14, 21, 22, Proposed Approval. 23, and 25. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On October 2, 2015 LDEQ submitted a letter withdrawing its revisions to Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC) 33:III, Chapter 15. The revisions to rules adopt the most recent Particulate Matter standards and make numerous other administrative and ministerial changes. As discussed in our proposal, there is no increase in the amount of emissions or number of sources affected as a result of these ministerial or administrative rules revisions; therefore, section 110(l) of the Act has been complied with. Details of these submittals, their evaluation, and individual chapter-specific conclusions were explained in our proposal, and its corresponding Technical Supporting Document. Certain provisions of the Louisiana SIP (Sec. Sec. 1107(A), 1507(A)(1), 1507(B)(1), 2153(B)(1)(i), 2201(C)(8), 2307(C)(1), and 2307(C)(2)) are affected by EPA's June 12, 2015 National SIP Call (80 FR 33967). Approval of amendments to LAC 33:III, Chapters 11, 21, 22, and 23 here should not, in any way, be construed as explicitly or implicitly voiding or minimizing any concerns or inadequacies identified in EPA's National SIP Call with respect to the above referenced provisions. We continue to expect that issues raised within the context of the EPA's National SIP Call to be addressed in a timely fashion. See section 110(k)(5) of the Act. II. Public Comments The public comment period for the November 5, 2015 (80 FR 68481) proposal expired on December 7, 2015, and we did not receive any comments on the proposed actions during this period. Therefore, we are finalizing the November 5, 2015 (80 FR 68481) proposal without any changes into the Louisiana SIP. III. Final Actions We are approving rule revisions to LAC 33:III, Chapter 1, section 111; Chapter 7, sections 701, 703, and 711; Chapter 9, sections 918, and 919; Chapter 11, sections 1105, and 1107; Chapter 13, sections 1323, 1325, 1327, [[Page 4892]] 1329, 1331, and 1333; Chapter 14, sections 1410, and 1434; Chapter 21, sections 2103, 2108, 2113, 2116, 2121, 2122, 2123, 2132, 2153, and 2159; Chapter 22, section 2201; Chapter 23, sections 2301, 2302, and 2307; and Chapter 25, sections 2511, 2521, and 2531. Our approval will incorporate these changes into the SIP for Louisiana. IV. Incorporation by Reference In this rule, we are finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.4, we are finalizing the incorporation by reference of the revisions to the Louisiana regulations as described in the Final Action section above. We have made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available electronically through www.regulation.gov, Docket ID. No. EPA-R06-OAR-2012-0434. 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 Act and applicable Federal regulations. If a portion of the plan revision meets all the applicable requirements of this chapter and Federal regulations, the Administrator may approve the plan revision in part. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices that meet the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove state choices that do not meet the criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this final action approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this final 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 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 Clean Air Act; 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); and Does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. 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 March 28, 2016. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposed 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).)
