The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a revision to the Alaska regional haze State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by the State of Alaska on March 10, 2016. Alaska submitted its Regional Haze Progress Report (``progress report'' or ``report'') and a negative declaration stating that further revision of the existing regional haze SIP is not needed at this time. Alaska submitted both the progress report and the negative declaration in the form of implementation plan revisions as required by federal regulations. The progress report addresses the federal Regional Haze Rule requirements under the Clean Air Act to submit a report describing progress in achieving reasonable progress goals established for regional haze and a determination of the adequacy of the state's existing plan addressing regional haze. We are also approving minor updates to the Enhanced Smoke Management Plan, Long-Term Strategy, and Commitment to Future 308 Plan Revision sections of the regional haze SIP, submitted concurrently with the progress report.

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; Alaska: 
Regional Haze Progress Report

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a 
revision to the Alaska regional haze State Implementation Plan (SIP), 
submitted by the State of Alaska on March 10, 2016. Alaska submitted 
its Regional Haze Progress Report (``progress report'' or ``report'') 
and a negative declaration stating that further revision of the 
existing regional haze SIP is not needed at this time. Alaska submitted 
both the progress report and the negative declaration in the form of 
implementation plan revisions as required by federal regulations. The 
progress report addresses the federal Regional Haze Rule requirements 
under the Clean Air Act to submit a report describing progress in 
achieving reasonable progress goals established for regional haze and a 
determination of the adequacy of the state's existing plan addressing 
regional haze. We are also approving minor updates to the Enhanced 
Smoke Management Plan, Long-Term Strategy, and Commitment to Future 308 
Plan Revision sections of the regional haze SIP, submitted concurrently 
with the progress report.

DATES: This final rule is effective May 14, 2018.

I. Background Information

    On February 16, 2018, the EPA proposed to approve Alaska's Regional 
Haze Progress Report, as well as minor updates to the Enhanced Smoke 
Management Plan, Long-Term Strategy, and Commitment to Future 308 Plan 
Revision sections of the regional haze SIP, submitted concurrently with 
the progress report (83 FR 7002). An explanation of the Clean Air Act 
requirements, a detailed analysis of the submittal, and the EPA's 
reasons for proposing approval were provided in the notice of proposed 
rulemaking, and will not be restated here. The public comment period 
for the proposal ended March 19, 2018. We received no adverse 
comments.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We received two comments in support of the proposed 
approval. We also received five comments that were not germane to 
the regional haze program or the Alaska submission. See ``AK RH 5 
year progress_Memo to File reComment'' included in the docket for 
this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Final Action

    The EPA is approving the Alaska Regional Haze Progress Report 
submitted on March 10, 2016, as meeting the applicable requirements of 
the Clean Air Act and the federal Regional Haze Rule, as set forth in 
40 CFR 51.308(g). The EPA has determined that the existing regional 
haze SIP is adequate to meet the state's visibility goals and requires 
no substantive revision at this time, as set forth in 40 CFR 51.308(h). 
We have also determined that Alaska fulfilled the requirements in 40 
CFR 51.308(i) regarding state coordination with Federal Land Managers. 
Lastly, we are approving updates to the Enhanced Smoke Management Plan, 
Long-Term Strategy, and Commitment to Future 308 Plan Revision sections 
of the regional haze SIP, submitted concurrently with the Alaska 
Regional Haze Progress Report.

III. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    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, the 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'' subject to 
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 
2011);
     is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 
2017) regulatory action because actions such as SIP approvals are 
exempted under Executive Order 12866;
     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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
     does not provide the 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 and 
is also not approved to apply in any other area where the 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 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. The 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 June 11, 2018. 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)).
