■ 11. In § 265.7, revise the section 

heading and paragraphs (a)(1) and (2) to 

read as follows: 

§ 265.7 Procedure for submitting a FOIA 

request. 

(a) Submission of requests—(1) Form 

and content of request. To permit 

expeditious handling and timely 

response in accordance with the 

provisions of this part, a request to 

inspect or to obtain a copy of an 

identifiable Postal Service record must 

be in writing and bear the caption 

‘‘Freedom of Information Act Request’’ 

or otherwise be clearly and prominently 

identified as a request for records 

pursuant to the Freedom of Information 

Act. A request must be clearly and 

prominently identified as such on the 

envelope or other cover. Requests for 

records, submitted by the public that are 

not labeled as Freedom of Information 

Act requests will be handled as FOIA 

requests when received by the 

appropriate Requester Service Center in 

accordance with paragraph (b) of this 

section, but they may be delayed in 

reaching the appropriate Requester 

Service Center. A Freedom of 

Information Act request must identify 

the record sought as completely as 

possible, by name, description, or 

subject matter, and be sufficient to 

permit the custodian to locate it with a 

reasonable amount of effort. The request 

may state the maximum amount of fees 

for which the requester is willing to 

accept liability without prior notice. See 

paragraph (f)(2) of § 265.8. If no amount 

is stated, the requester will be deemed 

willing to accept liability for fees not to 

exceed $25. 

(2) To whom submitted. A request 

must be submitted to the appropriate 

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 

Requester Service Center (RSC). If the 

FOIA RSC is not known, an inquiry 

should be directed to the FOIA 

Requester Service Center, Privacy and 

Records Office, U.S. Postal Service, 475 

L’Enfant Plaza SW., Washington, DC 

20260, telephone (202) 268–2608. The 

FOIA RSC will either process the 

request or refer the request to the 

appropriate component or records 

custodians. The FOIA RSC will advise 

the requester of any such referral. A 

request that is not initially submitted to 

the appropriate FOIA RSC will be 

deemed to have been received by the 

Postal Service for purposes of 

computing the time for response in 

accordance with paragraph (b) of this 

section at the time that it is actually 

received by the appropriate FOIA RSC 

or at the time the request is referred to 

the appropriate records custodians by a 

FOIA RSC, but in any case a request will 

be deemed to have been received no 

later than 10 days after the request is 

first received by a FOIA RSC. If a 

request seeks records maintained at two 

or more facilities, the custodian shall be 

deemed to be the next senior common 

supervisor of the heads of the facilities, 

e.g., district manager, area vice 

president. The Records Office is deemed 

to be the custodian, for purposes of this 

part, in all instances in which a request 

is for a listing of postal employees. See 

paragraph (a)(6) of § 265.6.

Air Quality Designations for the 2006 

24-hour Fine Particle National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (2006 24-hour 

PM2.5 NAAQS), 1997 Annual PM2.5

NAAQS, and 1987 Annual Coarse 

Particle (PM10) NAAQS; Technical 

Amendments to Inadvertent Errors 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to its authority 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is promulgating this final action to make 

technical amendments to address 

several minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in the regulatory 

text establishing the air quality 

designations for the 2006 24-hour fine 

particle (PM2.5) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS), 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS, and 1987 annual 

coarse particle (PM10) NAAQS. 

Consistent with the EPA’s interpretation 

of the good cause exemption provisions 

outlined in the Administrative 

Procedure Act, this action is being taken 

without notice and comment. The states 

to which these amendments apply are 

New York and West Virginia. 

DATES: The effective date of these 

technical amendments is August 28, 

2015.

I. What is the good cause exemption, 

and why is the EPA using it? 

Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 

553(b)(3)(B), provides that, when an 

agency for good cause finds that public 

notice and comment procedures are 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest, the agency may 

issue a rule without providing notice 

and an opportunity for public comment. 

The EPA has determined that there is 

good cause for making this rule final 

without prior proposal and opportunity 

for comment because such notice and 

opportunity for comment is 

unnecessary. In this action, we are 

amending 40 CFR part 81, which 

contains the tables of area designations 

and boundaries for each NAAQS. Notice 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

45068 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

1This area was originally designated as 

unclassifiable for the annual PM10 NAAQS by 

operation of law. 

and comment is unnecessary because 

the corrections made in this document 

were already the subject of prior notice 

and comment rulemakings; this action 

merely makes corrections to the tables 

in order to correctly align the 

information in the tables with those 

prior rulemakings. 

II. What is the purpose of this action? 

Whenever the EPA establishes a new 

NAAQS, section 107(d) of the CAA 

requires the EPA to designate all areas 

of the country as meeting or not meeting 

the new NAAQS, or as unclassifiable 

where available information does not 

support a determination whether an 

area is meeting the NAAQS. The area 

designations and boundaries for each 

NAAQS are set forth in tables at 40 CFR 

part 81. 

This action makes technical 

amendments to minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in the 40 CFR part 

81 regulatory text concerning the air 

quality designations for certain areas in 

two states for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS, 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS, 

and 1987 annual PM10 NAAQS. The 

states to which these technical 

amendments apply are New York and 

West Virginia. 

Documents related to the affected 

designations are available in the 

following dockets: Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2007–0562 (2006 24-hour 

PM2.5 NAAQS), Docket ID No. EPA– 

HQ–OAR–2003–0061 (1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS), and Public Docket No. 

A–92–22 (1987 annual PM10 NAAQS). 

All documents in the dockets except for 

those for related to designations for the 

1987 PM10 NAAQS, i.e., Public Docket 

No. A–92–22, are listed in the http://

www.regulations.gov index. All 

materials for Public Docket No. A–92– 

22 are located at the EPA Docket Center. 

In addition, the EPA has established a 

Web site for these rulemakings at: 

http://www.epa.gov/pmdesignations/ 

and http://www.epa.gov/airquality/

greenbook/pindex.html. These Web 

sites include the EPA’s final PM2.5 and 

PM10 designations, as well as state and 

tribal initial recommendation letters, the 

EPA’s modification letters, technical 

support documents, responses to 

comments and other related technical 

information. 

A discussion of these inadvertent 

errors and associated corrections 

follows in the next section. The 

revisions to the regulatory text, 

specifically as codified in 40 CFR part 

81, are provided at the end of this 

preamble. 

III. What are the technical amendments 

to inadvertent errors in prior 

designations? 

A. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS 

The EPA published its air quality 

designations for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS on November 13, 2009 (74 FR 

58688). In that action, two areas in West 

Virginia were designated as 

nonattainment for this NAAQS: 

Charleston, West Virginia (consisting of 

Kanawha County and Putnam County) 

and the Steubenville-Weirton, OhioWest Virginia area (consisting of Brooke 

County and Hancock County in West 

Virginia and Jefferson County in Ohio). 

The EPA finalized approval of West 

Virginia’s request to redesignate the 

Charleston, West Virginia area to 

attainment on March 31, 2014 (79 FR 

17884), and finalized approval of West 

Virginia’s request to redesignate the 

state’s portion of the SteubenvilleWeirton area to attainment on March 18, 

2014 (79 FR 15019). Both of these final 

actions correctly revised West Virginia’s 

entries in 40 CFR 81.349 to reflect that 

the areas are in attainment for the 2006 

24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. However, a 

subsequent rulemaking finalized in the 

Federal Register on June 2, 2014, by the 

EPA titled, ‘‘Identification of 

Nonattainment Classifications and 

Deadlines for Submission of State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Provisions 

for the 1997 Fine Particle (PM2.5) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS’’ (79 

FR 31566) inadvertently and 

erroneously recodified the Charleston, 

West Virginia area and the West 

Virginia portion of the SteubenvilleWeirton, Ohio-West Virginia area as 

nonattainment for the 2006 24-hour 

PM2.5 NAAQS. In this rulemaking, the 

EPA is correcting the 40 CFR 81.349 

table for West Virginia with respect to 

the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS to 

reflect that both areas within West 

Virginia have been redesignated to 

attainment, consistent with our previous 

March 18, 2014, and March 31, 2014, 

final rulemakings. 

B. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 1997 Annual PM2.5

NAAQS 

The EPA published its air quality 

designations for the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS on January 5, 2005 (70 FR 944). 

In this action, two areas in West 

Virginia were designated as 

nonattainment for this NAAQS: 

Charleston, West Virginia (consisting of 

Kanawha County and Putnam County) 

and the Steubenville-Weirton, OhioWest Virginia area (consisting of Brooke 

County and Hancock County in West 

Virginia and Jefferson County in Ohio). 

The EPA finalized approval of West 

Virginia’s request to redesignate the 

Charleston, West Virginia area to 

attainment on March 31, 2014 (79 FR 

17884), and finalized approval of West 

Virginia’s request to redesignate the 

state’s portion of the SteubenvilleWeirton area to attainment on March 18, 

2014 (79 FR 15019). Both of these final 

actions correctly revised West Virginia’s 

entries in 40 CFR 81.349 to reflect that 

the areas are in attainment for the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. However, a 

subsequent rulemaking finalized in the 

Federal Register on June 2, 2014, by the 

EPA titled, ‘‘Identification of 

Nonattainment Classifications and 

Deadlines for Submission of State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Provisions 

for the 1997 Fine Particle (PM2.5) 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS’’ (79 

FR 31566) inadvertently and 

erroneously recodified the Charleston, 

West Virginia area and the West 

Virginia portion of the SteubenvilleWeirton, Ohio-West Virginia area as 

nonattainment for the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS. In this rulemaking, the 

EPA is correcting the 40 CFR 81.349 

table for West Virginia with respect to 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS to reflect 

that both areas within West Virginia 

have been redesignated to attainment 

consistent with our previous March 18, 

2014, and March 31, 2014, final 

rulemakings. 

C. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 1987 Annual PM10

NAAQS 

The EPA redesignated New York 

County, New York as nonattainment for 

the 1987 annual PM10 NAAQS on 

January 20, 1994 (58 FR 67334).1

However, the 40 CFR part 81 table for 

the state is unclear as to which 1987 

PM10 NAAQS the nonattainment 

designation applies to, specifically 

because at the time of the January 20, 

1994, designation, there were two forms 

of the NAAQS. The 1987 PM10 NAAQS 

included an annual standard of 50 

micrograms per cubic meter (annual 

arithmetic mean averaged over 3 years) 

and a 24-hour standard of 150 

micrograms per cubic meter (not to be 

exceeded more than once per year on 

average over a 3-year period). The 40 

CFR part 81 table for PM10 does not 

distinguish between the two forms of 

the NAAQS, and therefore New York 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 45069 

County is codified as nonattainment for 

a non-specified, i.e., ambiguous form of 

the standard. 

The EPA has confirmed that the 

Madison Avenue monitor in New York 

County (Air Quality Systems (AQS) Site 

ID 36–061–0077) recorded violations of 

the 1987 annual PM10 NAAQS and was 

the basis for the county’s nonattainment 

designation for this NAAQS. This 

monitor continued to serve as the 

county’s design value monitor until 

1998; at this time the monitor 

underwent modifications that made it 

no longer valid for comparison to the 

NAAQS, i.e., it no longer met the siting 

criteria for a Federal Reference Method 

(FRM) monitor. As a result, decisions 

regarding PM10 air quality since 1998 

have been informed by ambient air 

quality data collected at other FRM 

monitoring sites in New York County, 

including the Post Office site (AQS ID 

36–061–0062). None of the monitors in 

New York County have recorded 

violations of the annual PM10 NAAQS 

since 1998, and no violations of the 24- 

hour PM10 NAAQS have ever been 

recorded in the county. On December 2, 

2013, the EPA finalized a clean data 

determination in the Federal Register 

for New York County (78 FR 72032), 

which determined that even though the 

annual form of the 1987 PM10 NAAQS 

had been revoked on October 17, 2006 

(71 FR 61144), ambient air quality data 

collected in New York County indicated 

that this NAAQS had been attained. To 

clarify, New York County was 

designated as nonattainment for the 

1987 annual PM10 NAAQS only; the 

area received a clean data determination 

from the EPA for the 1987 annual PM10

NAAQS; and the Agency has revoked 

the 1987 annual PM10 NAAQS. 

Therefore, the EPA is revising and 

clarifying the table for the PM10 NAAQS 

for the state to reflect the form of the 

standard, i.e., the annual PM10 NAAQS, 

for which New York County was 

designated as nonattainment, and to 

reflect that that standard has been 

revoked. 

IV. Environmental Justice 

Considerations 

When the EPA establishes a new 

NAAQS, section 107(d) of the CAA 

requires the EPA to designate all areas 

of the country as meeting or not meeting 

the new NAAQS, or as unclassifiable 

where available information does not 

support a determination whether an 

area is meeting the NAAQS. The area 

designations and boundaries for each 

NAAQS are set forth in tables at 40 CFR 

part 81.This action makes technical 

amendments to minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in the 40 CFR part 

81 regulatory text concerning the air 

quality designations for certain areas in 

two states for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS, 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS, 

and 1987 annual PM10 NAAQS. The 

amendments apply to the states of New 

York and West Virginia. This action 

continues to protect all those residing, 

working, attending school or otherwise 

present in those areas regardless of 

minority and economic status. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action makes technical 

amendments to correct minor, 

inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors 

in prior area designations. This type of 

action is exempt from review under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This action does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This action 

corrects minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations and does not require any 

party to perform an information 

collection. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 

rule subject to notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities 

include small businesses, small 

organizations and small governmental 

jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing 

the impacts of this rule on small 

entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A 

small business as defined by the Small 

Business Administration’s regulations at 

13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small 

governmental jurisdiction that is a 

government of a city, county, town, 

school district or special district with a 

population of less than 50,000; and (3) 

a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently 

owned and operated and is not 

dominant in its field. 

Because the EPA 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. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action contains no federal 

mandate under the provisions of Title II 

of the UMRA of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538 for state, local or tribal 

governments or the private sector. The 

action does not impose an enforceable 

duty on any state, local or tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Therefore, this action is not subject to 

the requirements of sections 202 and 

205 of the UMRA. 

This action is also not subject to the 

requirements of section 203 of UMRA 

because it contains no regulatory 

requirements that might significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. This 

action corrects minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It 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. This action 

makes technical amendments to correct 

minor, inadvertent and nonsubstantive 

errors in prior area designations. Thus, 

Executive Order 13132 does not apply 

to this action. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications, as specified in Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000). This action only makes technical 

amendments to correct minor, 

inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors 

in prior area designations or 

redesignations. None of these technical 

amendments has a substantial direct 

effect on any tribal land; thus, Executive 

Order 13175 does not apply to this 

action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as 

applying only to those regulatory 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

45070 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 145 / Wednesday, July 29, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

actions that concern health or safety 

risks, such that the analysis required 

under section 5–501 of the Executive 

Order has the potential to influence the 

regulation. This action is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 because it does 

not establish an environmental standard 

intended to mitigate health or safety 

risks. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 

2001)), because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995, 

Public Law 104–113, section 12(d) (15 

U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use 

voluntary consensus standards (VCS) in 

its regulatory activities unless to do so 

would be inconsistent with applicable 

law or otherwise impracticable. VCS are 

technical standards (e.g., materials 

specifications, test methods, sampling 

procedures and business practices) that 

are developed or adopted by VCS 

bodies. The NTTAA directs the EPA to 

provide Congress, through the Office of 

Management and Budget, explanations 

when the agency decides not to use 

available and applicable VCS. This 

action does not involve technical 

standards. Therefore, the EPA did not 

consider the use of any VCS. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 

(Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the U.S. 

The EPA has determined that this rule 

will not have disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority or 

low-income populations because it does 

not affect the level of protection 

provided to human health or the 

environment. This action makes 

technical amendments to correct minor, 

inadvertent, nonsubstantive errors in 

the designations for certain areas. The 

results are also contained in section IV 

titled, ‘‘Environmental Justice 

Considerations’’ of this preamble. 

K. Congressional Review Act 

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 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. A major rule cannot take effect 

until 60 days after it is published in the 

Federal Register. However, 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. This determination must be 

supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 

808(2). As stated previously, the EPA 

had made such a good cause finding, 

including the reasons therefore, and 

established an effective date of August 

28, 2015. These technical amendments 

to inadvertent errors do not constitute a 

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

L. Judicial Review 

In the final actions designating areas 

for the PM10 NAAQS, the EPA 

determined that the actions were 

‘‘nationally applicable’’ within the 

meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1). 

Likewise, the EPA also determined that 

the final action identifying 

nonattainment classifications and 

deadlines for SIP provisions for the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS and 2006 24- 

hour PM2.5 NAAQS was nationally 

applicable. Because this action is 

making corrections to those nationally 

applicable rules, we are determining 

that this action is also nationally 

applicable within the meaning of 

section 307(b)(1). Thus, petitions for 

review of this final action must be filed 

in the Court of Appeals for the District 

of Columbia Circuit. Section 307(b)(1) 

requires such petitions to be filed 

within 60 days from the date the final 

action is published in the Federal 

Register.
