date from July 1, 2013, to July 1, 2014 

(78 FR 29652). The Department provides 

this further extension for institutions in 

order to provide States with additional 

time to finalize processes for those 

institutions to be able to comply with 

the State authorization provisions in 

§ 600.9(a) and (b). Those provisions 

apply to an institution separately with 

respect to each State in which the 

institution has a main or additional 

location offering at least 50 percent of 

an eligible educational program. 

In order for an institution that cannot 

meet the State authorization 

requirements to receive an extension 

until July 1, 2015, to implement 

§ 600.9(a) and (b), the institution must 

obtain from the State an explanation, 

such as information on timeline and 

action steps to ensure compliance, of 

how an additional one-year extension 

will permit the State to finalize its 

procedures so that the institution is in 

compliance with amended § 600.9. The 

explanation must be provided to 

Department staff upon request.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Oregon: 

Infrastructure Requirements for the 

2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving the portion 

of the December 27, 2013, State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal 

from Oregon relating to the 

infrastructure requirements of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) for the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) 

promulgated for lead (Pb) on October 

15, 2008. The CAA requires that each 

state, after a new or revised NAAQS is 

promulgated, review their SIP to ensure 

that it meets the infrastructure 

requirements necessary to implement 

the new or revised NAAQS. The EPA 

finds that the Oregon SIP meets the 

CAA infrastructure requirements for the 

2008 Pb NAAQS. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on July 

24, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–R10–OAR– 

2014–0018. All documents in the docket 

are listed on the http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document wherever

Information is organized as follows: 

Table of Contents 

I. Background 

II. Final Action 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

Section 110 of the CAA specifies the 

general requirements for states to submit 

SIPs to implement, maintain, and 

enforce the NAAQS and the EPA’s 

actions regarding approval of those SIPs. 

On December 27, 2013, Oregon 

submitted a SIP revision to the EPA 

demonstrating that the SIP meets the 

infrastructure requirements of the CAA 

for the 2008 Pb NAAQS, 2010 nitrogen 

dioxide NAAQS, and 2010 sulfur 

dioxide NAAQS. On April 17, 2014, we 

proposed approval of the portion of 

Oregon’s December 27, 2013, submittal 

relating to the 2008 Pb NAAQS (79 FR 

21679). An explanation of the CAA 

requirements and implementing 

regulations that are met by this SIP 

revision, a detailed explanation of the 

revision, and the EPA’s reasons for the 

proposed action were provided in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking on April 

17, 2014, and will not be restated here. 

We note that we intend to address the 

remainder of the December 27, 2013, 

submittal, relating to the infrastructure 

requirements of the 2010 nitrogen 

dioxide NAAQS and 2010 sulfur 

dioxide NAAQS, in a separate action (79 

FR 21679). The public comment period 

for our proposed action ended on May 

19, 2014, and we received no comments. 

II. Final Action 

The EPA is approving the portion of 

the December 27, 2013, submittal from 

Oregon relating to the infrastructure 

requirements of the 2008 Pb NAAQS. 

Specifically, we are approving the 

submitted revision to OAR 340–202– 

0130 ‘‘Ambient Air Quality Standard for 

Lead’’ and the addition of OAR 340– 

202–0020 ‘‘Applicability.’’ We find that 

the Oregon SIP meets the following 

CAA section 110(a)(2) infrastructure 

elements for the 2008 Pb NAAQS: (A), 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
35694 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 121 / Tuesday, June 24, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

(B), (C), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), (E), (F), (G), (H), 

(J), (K), (L), and (M). 

As described in detail in our proposal 

on April 17, 2014 (79 FR 21679), we are 

not approving the submitted revision to 

OAR 340–200–0040 ‘‘State of Oregon 

Clean Air Act Implementation Plan.’’ In 

addition, we are taking no action on the 

submitted revisions to OAR 340–200– 

0020 ‘‘General Air Quality Definitions, 

Table 1—Significant Air Quality 

Impact,’’ OAR 340–202–0070 ‘‘Sulfur 

Dioxide,’’ and OAR 340–202–0100 

‘‘Nitrogen Dioxide’’ because these 

revisions are outside the scope of the 

2008 Pb infrastructure SIP. We intend to 

address these revisions in a separate 

action. This action is being taken under 

section 110 of the CAA. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves state law as meeting 

Federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

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

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

this action does not involve technical 

standards; and does not provide the 

EPA with the discretionary authority to 

address, as appropriate, 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects, using practicable 

and legally permissible methods, under 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the State, and the EPA notes 

that it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

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 action 

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. This action is not a 

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

804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by August 25, 2014. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of 

such rule or action. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2)).
