40 CFR Part 52
[R08-ND-2006-0001; FRL-8274-6]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Revised Format for Materials Being Incorporated by Reference for North
Dakota
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is revising the format of 40 CFR part 52 for materials
submitted by the State of North Dakota that are incorporated by
reference (IBR) into its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The
regulations affected by this format change have all been previously
submitted by North Dakota and approved by EPA.
DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective March 1, 2007.
ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40
CFR part 52 are available for inspection Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.

I. Change in IBR Format
This format revision will affect the ``Identification of plan''
section of 40 CFR part 52, as well as the format of the SIP materials
that will be available for public inspection at the National Archives
and Records Administration (NARA); the Air and Radiation Docket and
Information Center located at EPA
[[Page 9264]]
Headquarters in Washington, DC, and the EPA Region 8 Office.
A. Description of a SIP
Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies
used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS) and achieve certain other Clean Air Act (Act) requirements
(e.g., visibility requirements, prevention of significant
deterioration). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air
pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring network
descriptions, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.
B. How EPA Enforces the SIP
Each SIP revision submitted by North Dakota must be adopted at the
state level after undergoing reasonable notice and public hearing. SIPs
submitted to EPA to attain or maintain the NAAQS must include
enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, schedules
and timetables for compliance.
EPA evaluates submitted SIPs to determine if they meet the Act's
requirements. If a SIP meets the Act's requirements, EPA will approve
the SIP. EPA's notice of approval is published in the Federal Register
and the approval is then codified in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR) at 40 CFR part 52. Once EPA approves a SIP, it is enforceable by
EPA and citizens in Federal district court.
We do not reproduce in 40 CFR part 52 the full text of the North
Dakota regulations that we have approved; instead, we incorporate them
by reference (``IBR''). We approve a given state regulation with a
specific effective date and then refer the public to the location(s) of
the full text version of the state regulation(s) should they want to
know which measures are contained in a given SIP (see ``I.F. Where You
Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation'').
C. How the State and EPA Update the SIP
The SIP is a living document which the state can revise as
necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state.
Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions
containing new and/or revised regulations.
On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA announced revised procedures for
incorporating by reference federally approved SIPs. The procedures
announced included: (1) A new process for incorporating by reference
material submitted by states into compilations and a process for
updating those compilations on roughly an annual basis; (2) a revised
mechanism for announcing EPA approval of revisions to an applicable SIP
and updating both the compilations and the CFR; and (3) a revised
format for the ``Identification of plan'' sections for each applicable
subpart to reflect these revised IBR procedures.
D. How EPA Compiles the SIP
We have organized into a compilation the federally-approved
regulations, source-specific requirements and nonregulatory provisions
we have approved into the SIP. We maintain hard copies of the
compilation in binders and we primarily update these binders on an
annual basis.
E. How EPA Organizes the SIP Compilation
Each compilation contains three parts. Part one contains the state
regulations, part two contains the source-specific requirements that
have been approved as part of the SIP (if any), and part three contains
nonregulatory provisions that we have approved. Each compilation
contains a table of identifying information for each regulation, each
source-specific requirement, and each nonregulatory provision. The
state effective dates in the tables indicate the date of the most
recent revision to a particular regulation. The table of identifying
information in the compilation corresponds to the table of contents
published in 40 CFR part 52 for the state. The EPA Regional Offices
have the primary responsibility for ensuring accuracy and updating the
compilations.
F. Where You Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation
EPA Region 8 developed and will maintain a hard copy of the
compilation for North Dakota. An electronic copy of the North Dakota
regulations we have approved are available on the following Web site:
http://www.epa.gov/region8/air/sip.html. A hard copy of the regulatory
and source-specific portions of the compilation will also be maintained
at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, EPA West
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460;
and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). If you wish to
obtain materials from a docket in the EPA Headquarters Library, please
call the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Docket/Telephone number
(202) 566-1742. For information on the availability of this material at
NARA, call (202) 741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.
G. The Format of the New Identification of Plan Section
In order to better serve the public, EPA has revised the
organization of the ``Identification of plan'' section in 40 CFR part
52 and included additional information to clarify the elements of the
SIP.
The revised Identification of plan section for North Dakota
contains five subsections:
1. Purpose and scope (see 40 CFR 52.1820(a));
2. Incorporation by reference (see 40 CFR 52.1820(b));
3. EPA-approved regulations (see 40 CFR 52.1820(c));
4. EPA-approved source-specific requirements (see 40 CFR
52.1820(d)); and
5. EPA-approved nonregulatory provisions such as transportation
control measures, statutory provisions, control strategies, monitoring
networks, etc. (see 40 CFR 52.1820(e)).
H. When a SIP Revision Becomes Federally Enforceable
All revisions to the applicable SIP are Federally enforceable as of
the effective date of EPA's approval of the respective revisions. In
general, SIP revisions become effective 30 to 60 days after publication
of EPA's SIP approval action in the Federal Register. In specific
cases, a SIP revision action may become effective less than 30 days or
greater than 60 days after the Federal Register publication date. In
order to determine the effective date of EPA's approval for a specific
North Dakota SIP provision that is listed in paragraph 40 CFR 52.1820
(c), (d), or (e), consult the volume and page of the Federal Register
cited in the ``EPA approval date'' column of 40 CFR 52.1820 for that
particular provision.
I. The Historical Record of SIP Revision Approvals
To facilitate enforcement of previously approved SIP provisions and
to provide a smooth transition to the new SIP processing system, we are
retaining the original Identification of plan section (see 40 CFR
52.1837). This section previously appeared at 40 CFR 52.1820. After an
initial two-year period, we will review our experience with the new
table format and will decide whether or not to retain the original
Identification of plan section (40 CFR 52.1837) for some further
period.
[[Page 9265]]
II. What EPA Is Doing in This Action
Today's action constitutes a ``housekeeping'' exercise to reformat
the codification of the EPA-approved North Dakota SIP.
III. Good Cause Exemption
EPA has determined that today's action falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon a finding of ``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 action simply reformats the codification of
provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law.
Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where
procedures are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the
public interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law.
Likewise, there is no purpose served by delaying the effective date of
this action.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Review
A. General Requirements
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. 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 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 is 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 reformats the codification of provisions which are
already in effect as a matter of law. 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 March 1, 2007.
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. These corrections to the
Identification of plan for South Dakota 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 North Dakota 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 to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for
judicial review for this reorganization of the ``Identification of
plan'' section of 40 CFR 52.1820 for North Dakota.
