ACTION: Final rule and delegation of authority.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and the local
agencies of Lincoln-Lancaster County, Nebraska, and city of Omaha,
Nebraska, have submitted updated regulations for delegation of the EPA
authority for implementation and enforcement of NSPS and NESHAP. The
submissions cover new EPA standards and, in some instances, revisions
to standards previously delegated. EPA's review of the pertinent
regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures
for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This
action informs the public of delegations to the above-mentioned
agencies.
DATES: This rule is effective on May 18, 2000. The dates of delegation
can be found in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION; section of this
document.

Summary of this action
What Does This Rule Do?
EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for
implementation and enforcement of the Federal standards shown in the
tables below to the state and local air agencies in Region 7. This rule
updates the delegation tables most recently published at 63 FR 1746
(January 12, 1998.)
Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA)
provides that an agency may forgo notice-and-comment rulemaking upon
determination of ``good cause'' published with the rule. EPA considers
these updates to be minor changes which are not subject to notice-and-
comment rulemaking procedures under the APA or any other statute.
What Is the Authority for Delegation?
1. Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes EPA to
delegate authority to any state agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS
program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR Part 60.
[[Page 20755]]
2. Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR Part 63, subpart E,
authorizes EPA to delegate authority to any state or local agency which
submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and
enforcement of emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The
hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR Parts 61 and
63, respectively.
What Does Delegation Accomplish?
Delegation confers primary responsibility for implementation and
enforcement of the listed standards to the respective state and local
air agencies. However, EPA also retains the authority to enforce the
standards if it so desires.
What Is Being Delegated?
Tables I, II, and III below list the delegated standards. The first
date in each block is the reference date to the CFR contained in the
state rule. In general, the state has adopted the applicable standard
through this date as noted in the table. The second date is the most
recent effective date of the state agency rule for which EPA is
providing or updating the delegation.
What Is Not Being Delegated?
1. EPA regulations effective after the first date specified in each
block have not been delegated, and authority for implementation of
these regulations is retained solely by EPA.
2. In some cases, the standards themselves specify that specific
provisions cannot be delegated. You should review the standard for this
information.
3. In some cases, the agency rules do not adopt the Federal
standard in its entirety. Each agency rule (available from the
respective agency) should be consulted for specific information.
4. In some cases, existing delegation agreements between EPA and
the agencies limit the scope of the delegated standards. Copies of
delegation agreements are available from the state agencies, or from
this office.
5. With respect to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A, General Provisions
(see Table III), EPA has determined that sections 63.6(g), 63.6(h)(9),
63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 63.8(f), and 63.10(f) cannot be delegated.
Additional information is contained in an EPA memorandum titled
``Delegation of 40 CFR Part 63 General Provisions Authorities to State
and Local Air Pollution Control Agencies' from John Seitz, Director,
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, dated July 10, 1998.

Summary of This Action
After a review of the submissions, the Regional Administrator
determined that delegation was appropriate for the source categories
with the conditions set forth in the original NSPS and NESHAP
delegation agreements, and the limitations in all applicable
regulations, including 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63.
You should refer to the applicable agreements and regulations
referenced above to determine specific provisions which are not
delegated.
All sources subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and
63 are also subject to the equivalent requirements of the above-
mentioned state or local agencies.
EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they contain
adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and
enforcement of these Federal standards. This rule informs the public of
delegations to the above-mentioned agencies.
I. What Are the Administrative Requirements Associated With This
Document?
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. Because the
agency has made a ``good
[[Page 20760]]
cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the APA or any other statute (see section I. of this
document), 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)
(Public Law 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 significantly or uniquely affect the
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order
13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will not 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 minor action 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. This 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, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in
accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for
the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued
under the Executive Order. This rule does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et 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
rule and other required information to the United States Senate, the
United States House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of
the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
List of Subjects in 40 CFR Parts 460, 461 and 463
Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Intergovernmental
relations.
Authority: This rule is issued under the authority of sections
101, 110, 112, and 301 of the CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410,
7412, and 7601).
Dated: April 3, 2000.
