Delegation of Authority to the States of 

Iowa; Kansas; Missouri; Nebraska; 

Lincoln-Lancaster County, NE; and 

City of Omaha, NE, for New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS), 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

Including Maximum Achievable 

Control Technology (MACT) Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Delegation of authority. 

SUMMARY: The States of Iowa, Kansas, 

Missouri, and Nebraska and the local 

agencies of Lincoln-Lancaster County, 

Nebraska, and the city of Omaha, 

Nebraska, have submitted updated 

regulations for delegation of EPA 

authority for implementation and 

enforcement of NSPS, NESHAP, and 

MACT standards. 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 delegation of authority is 

effective on February 28, 2011. The 

dates of delegation can be found in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of documents 

relative to this action are available for 

public inspection during normal 

business hours at the Environmental 

Protection Agency, Air Planning and 

Development Branch, 901 North 5th 

Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. The 

interested persons wanting to examine 

these documents should make an 

appointment with the office at least 24 

hours in advance. 

Effective immediately, all 

notifications, applications, reports, and 

other correspondence required pursuant 

to the newly delegated standards and 

revisions identified in this document

in the following order: 

What does this action do? 

What is the authority for delegation? 

What does delegation accomplish? 

What has been delegated? 

What has not been delegated? 

List of Delegation Tables 

Table I—NSPS, 40 CFR part 60 

Table II—NESHAP, 40 CFR part 61 

Table III—NESHAP, 40 CFR part 63 

What does this action do? 

The EPA is providing notice of an 

update to its delegable authority for 

implementation and enforcement of the 

Federal standards shown in the tables 

below to the States of Iowa, Kansas, 

Missouri, and Nebraska. This action 

updates the delegation tables previously 

published at 72 FR 60561 (October 25, 

2007). The EPA has established 

procedures by which these agencies are 

automatically delegated the authority to 

implement the standards when they 

adopt regulations which are identical to 

the Federal standards. We then 

periodically provide notice of the new 

and revised standards for which 

delegation has been given. This notice 

does not affect or alter the status of the 

listed standards under State or Federal 

law. 

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 are 

codified at 40 CFR part 60. 

2. Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 

CFR part 63, subpart E, authorizes the 

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 

concurrent authority to enforce the 

standards. 

What has been delegated? 

Tables I, II, and III below list the 

delegated standards. Each item listed in 

the Subpart column has two relevant 

dates listed in each column for each 

State. The first date in each block is the 

reference date to the CFR contained in 

the State rule. In general, the State or 

local agency has adopted the applicable 

standard through the date as noted in 

the table. The second date is the most 

recent effective date of the State agency 

rule for which the EPA has granted the 

delegation. This notice specifically 

addresses revisions to the columns for 

Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska 

and the local agencies of LincolnLancaster County, Nebraska, and the 

city of Omaha, Nebraska. 

What has not been delegated? 

1. The EPA regulations effective after 

the first date specified in each block 

have not been delegated, and authority 


jdjones on DSKHWCL6B1PROD with RULES
10762 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 39 / Monday, February 28, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

for implementation of these regulations 

is retained solely by EPA. 

2. In some cases, the standards 

themselves specify that specific 

provisions cannot be delegated. In such 

cases, a specific section of the standard 

details what authorities can and cannot 

be delegated. You should review the 

applicable standard in the CFR for this 

information. 

3. In some cases, the State rules do 

not adopt the Federal standard in its 

entirety. Each State rule (available from 

the respective agency) should be 

consulted for specific information. 

4. In some cases, existing delegation 

agreements between the 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), the 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.

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA) is prohibiting texting on 

electronic devices by drivers during the 

operation of a motor vehicle containing 

a quantity of hazardous materials 

requiring placarding or any quantity of 

a select agent or toxin listed in the 

Department of Health and Human 

Services ‘‘Select Agents and Toxins’’ 

regulations. Additionally, in accordance 

with requirements adopted on 

September 27, 2010 by the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration 

(FMCSA), motor carriers are prohibited 

from requiring or allowing drivers of 

covered motor vehicles to engage in 

texting while driving. This rulemaking 

improves the health and safety on the 

Nation’s highways by reducing the 

prevalence of distracted driving-related 

crashes, fatalities, and injuries involving 

drivers of commercial motor vehicles.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. US DOT Strategy 

The United States Department of 

Transportation (US DOT) is leading the 

effort to end the dangerous practice of 

distracted driving on our nation’s 

roadways and in other modes of 

transportation. Driver distraction can be 

defined as the voluntary or involuntary 

diversion of attention from the primary 

driving tasks due to an object, event, or 

person that shifts the attention away 

from the fundamental driving task. The 

US DOT has identified three main types 

of distraction that occur while operating 

a motor vehicle: 

1. Visual—taking your eyes off of the 

road; 

2. Manual—taking your hands off of 

the wheel; and 

3. Cognitive—taking your mind off of 

driving. 

The US DOT is working across the 

spectrum with private and public 

entities to address distracted driving, 

and will lead by example. The 

individual agencies of the US DOT are 

working together to share knowledge, 

promote a greater understanding of the 

issue, and identify additional strategies 

to end distracted driving. Additionally, 

the majority of the 50 States have 

forbidden texting while driving any 

motor vehicle. See US DOT Distracted 

Driving Web site, http:// 

www.distraction.gov; see also Insurance 

Institute for Highway Safety Web site, 

http://www.iihs.org/. 

B. NPRM 

On September 27, 2010, PHMSA 

proposed to limit the dangerous practice 

of texting on electronic devices by 

drivers during the operation of a motor 

vehicle containing a quantity of 

hazardous materials requiring 

placarding under part 172 of the 49 CFR 

or any quantity of a select agent or toxin 

listed in 42 CFR part 73. PHMSA 

received one comment in response to 

the NPRM. Generally, the commenter 

expresses support for PHMSA’s efforts, 

but requests expansion of the proposed 

texting limitation to include any person 

being paid to drive any type of vehicle. 

Additionally, the commenter suggests 

that PHMSA prohibit the use of any 

type of electronic device while driving. 

The comment is discussed in more 

detail in the Section-by-Section and 

Discussion of Comments sections of this 

final rule. 

C. FMCSA Rules and Definitions 

1. Final Rule 

On September 27, 2010 the Federal 

Motor Carrier Safety Administration 

published a final rule to codify 

requirements to limit the use of wireless 

communication devices by commercial 

motor vehicle (CMV) drivers. FMCSA’s 

final rule adopts a prohibition 

consistent with requirements originally 

proposed and considers comments 

submitted in response to the original 

NPRM issued on April 1, 2010 under 

Docket FMCSA–2009–0370 (75 FR 

16391). The final rule prohibits texting 

by CMV drivers operating in interstate 

commerce and imposes sanctions for 

drivers that fail to comply. Most directly 

applicable to this final rule, the FMCSA 

final rule adopts requirements 

prohibiting texting on electronic devices 

by drivers transporting a quantity of 

hazardous materials requiring 

placarding under part 172 of the 49 CFR 

or any quantity of a select agent or toxin 

listed in 42 CFR part 73. In the rule 

FMCSA clearly indicates that its 

authority to regulate hazardous 

materials is limited to CMV drivers 

operating in interstate commerce. 

Additionally, the FMCSA final rule cites 

numerous studies evaluating the 

dangers of various forms of distracted 

driving. 

2. Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

On April 1, 2010, FMCSA published 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in the 

Federal Register (75 FR 16391). FMCSA 

reviewed the over 400 public comments 

submitted in response to the proposed 

rule. Changes resulting from FMCSA’s 

comment evaluation are fully described 

in the preamble of the FMCSA final rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 27, 2010 (75 FR 59118; 

59125).
