Description of a SIP Each State has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies to attain and maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms. B. How EPA Enforces SIPs Before formally adopting required control measures and strategies, each State must provide the public with an opportunity to comment on them. The States then submit these measures and strategies to EPA as requested SIP revisions on which EPA must formally act. When these control measures and strategies are approved by EPA, after notice and comment rulemaking, they are incorporated into the Federally-approved SIP and identified in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, part 52 (Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans) (40 CFR part 52). The actual State regulations approved by EPA are not reproduced in their entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but are ``incorporated by reference,'' which means that EPA has approved a given State regulation with a specific effective date. This format allows both EPA and the public to know which measures are contained in a given SIP and to help determine whether the State is enforcing the regulations. C. How the State and EPA Update the SIP The SIP is periodically revised as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the State. Therefore, EPA from time to time takes action on State SIP submissions containing new and/or revised regulations and other materials; if approved, they become 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 the Federal Register (OFR). As a result, EPA began the process of developing the following: (1) A revised SIP document for each State that would be incorporated by reference under the provisions of title 1 CFR part 51; (2) a revised mechanism for announcing EPA approval of revisions to an applicable SIP and updating both the IBR document and the CFR; and (3) a revised format of the ``Identification of plan'' sections for each applicable subpart to reflect these revised IBR procedures. 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. D. How EPA Compiles the SIP The Federally-approved regulations, source-specific requirements, and nonregulatory provisions (entirely or portions of) submitted by each State agency and approved by EPA have been organized into a ``SIP compilation.'' The SIP compilation contains the updated regulations, source-specific requirements, and nonregulatory provisions approved by EPA through [[Page 3966]] previous rulemaking actions in the Federal Register. E. How EPA Organizes the SIP Compilation Each SIP compilation contains three parts approved by EPA: Part one contains regulations; part two contains source-specific requirements; and part three contains nonregulatory provisions. Each State's SIP compilation contains a table of identifying information for each of these three parts. In this action, EPA is publishing the tables summarizing the applicable SIP requirements for Massachusetts. The effective dates in the tables indicate the date of the most recent revision of each regulation. The EPA Region 1 Office has the primary responsibility for updating the compilation and ensuring its accuracy. F. Where You Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation EPA's Region 1 Office developed and will maintain the compilation for Massachusetts. A copy of the full text of Massachusetts' regulatory and source-specific compilations will also be maintained at NARA. G. The Format of the New Identification of Plan Section To better serve the public, EPA revised the organization of the ``Identification of plan'' section and included additional information to clarify which provisions are the enforceable elements of the SIP. The revised Identification of plan section contains five subsections: (a) Purpose and scope; (b) Incorporation by reference; (c) EPA-approved regulations; (d) EPA-approved source-specific requirements; and (e) EPA-approved nonregulatory provisions such as transportation control measures, statutory provisions, control strategies, and monitoring networks. H. When a State Submission Becomes Part of the SIP and Federally Enforceable All revisions to the applicable SIP become federally enforceable as of the effective date of the revisions to paragraphs (c), (d), or (e) of the applicable Identification of Plan section found in each subpart of 40 CFR part 52. I. The Historical Record of SIP Revision Approvals To facilitate enforcement of previously-approved SIP provisions and provide a smooth transition to the new SIP compilation, EPA has retained the original Identification of plan section, previously appearing in the CFR as the first or second section of part 52 for each State subpart. After an initial two-year period, EPA will review its experience with the new table format and will decide whether or not to retain the Identification of plan appendices for some further period. II. What is EPA doing in this action? Today's rule constitutes a record keeping exercise to ensure that all revisions to the State programs and accompanying SIP that have already occurred are accurately reflected in 40 CFR part 52. State SIP revisions are controlled by EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 51. When EPA receives a formal SIP revision request, the Agency must publish proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register and provide for public comment before approval. 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. Accordingly, we find that public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' under section 553 of the APA, since the codification of the revised format for denoting IBR of the State materials into the SIP only reflects existing law and since immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated citations from the CFR. III. Incorporation by Reference 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 Massachusetts Regulations described in 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). IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011), this action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Because the agency has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other statute as indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section above, it is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of UMRA. This rule also does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between the Federal government and Indian Tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian Tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. This rule does not involve technical standards; thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. The rule also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk [[Page 3967]] and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the executive order. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). EPA's compliance with these statutes and Executive Orders for the underlying rules are discussed in previous actions taken on the State's rules. B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General 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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. Today's action simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated previously, EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the reasons therefore, and established an effective date of January 29, 2018. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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. This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). C. Petitions for Judicial Review EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Massachusetts SIP compilation had 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 these ``Identification of plan'' reorganization actions for Massachusetts.
