58468 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 185 / Tuesday, September 24, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

I. Background and Purpose 

On June 22, 2012, the Connecticut 

Department of Energy and 

Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) 

submitted a request for EPA to 

redesignate the Connecticut portion of 

the New York-N. New Jersey-Long 

Island, NY-NJ-CT Area (i.e., the 

Southwestern CT Area) from 

nonattainment to attainment for the 

1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS, and to approve a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

containing an emissions inventory and 

a maintenance plan for the area. As part 

of its redesignation request, CT DEEP 

asked EPA to withdraw the SIPapproved 2009 motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEBs) prepared using the 

MOBILE6.2 emissions model and to 

approve the 2017 and 2025 MVEBs 

prepared using the MOVES2010 

emissions model. 

On July 19, 2013 (78 FR 43096), EPA 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of 

Connecticut proposing to approve the 

state’s redesignation request and to 

approve the associated PM2.5

maintenance plan, as well as the 2007 

base-year emissions inventory and new 

MVEBs for the years 2017 and 2025. 

EPA also proposed to withdraw the SIPapproved 2009 MVEBs prepared using 

MOBILE6.2. 

Specific details of Connecticut’s 

redesignation request, 2007 emissions 

inventory, Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 

175A maintenance plan, and 2017 and 

2025 MVEBs, and the rationale for 

EPA’s proposed approvals are explained 

in the NPR and will not be restated here. 

No public comments were received on 

the NPR. 

II. Final Action 

EPA is approving Connecticut’s June 

22, 2012 redesignation request and 

maintenance plan for the Southwestern 

CT Area because the requirements for 

approval have been satisfied. EPA has 

evaluated Connecticut’s redesignation 

request, and determined that it meets 

the redesignation criteria set forth in 

section 107(d)(3)(E) of the Clean Air 

Act. EPA believes that the redesignation 

request and monitoring data 

demonstrate that the area has attained 

the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour PM2.5

standards. The final approval of this 

redesignation request will change the 

designation of the Southwestern CT 

Area from nonattainment to attainment 

for the 1997 annual and 2006 24-hour 

PM2.5 standards. 

EPA is also approving the associated 

PM2.5 maintenance plan for this area 

submitted on June 22, 2012 as a revision 

to the Connecticut SIP. EPA has 

determined that the PM2.5 maintenance 

plan meets the requirements of section 

175A of the CAA. In addition, EPA is 

also withdrawing the previously SIPapproved 2009 MVEBs prepared using 

MOBILE6.2 and is approving the 2017 

and 2025 MVEBs prepared using the 

MOVES model. Finally, EPA is 

approving the 2007 comprehensive 

emission inventory for the 

Southwestern CT Area under CAA 

section 182(a)(1). 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

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 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide 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 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. 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 Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by November 25, 

2013. 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).)

attainment for the 1997 annual and 2006 

24-hour PM2.5 standards. Connecticut 

submitted this request on June 22, 2012. 

As part of the redesignation request, the 

State submitted a maintenance plan as 

required by section 175A of the Clean 

Air Act. Elements of the section 175A 

maintenance plan include a contingency 

plan and an obligation to submit a 

subsequent maintenance plan revision 

as required by the Clean Air Act. The 

PM2.5 maintenance plan also establishes 

2017 and 2025 Motor Vehicle Emission 

Budgets (MVEBs) for the Area. 

Connecticut is establishing 2017 MVEBs 

of 575.8 tons per year (tpy) for direct 

PM2.5 and 12,791.8 tpy for NOX, and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Legal Basis for the Rulemaking 

Congress delegated certain powers to 

regulate interstate commerce to the 

United States Department of 

Transportation (DOT or Department) in 

numerous pieces of legislation, most 

notably in section 6 of the Department 

of Transportation Act (DOT Act) (Pub. 

L. 85–670, 80 Stat. 931 (1966)). Section 

55 of the DOT Act transferred to the 

Department the authority of the former 

Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) 

to regulate the qualifications and 

maximum hours of service of 

employees, the safety of operations, and 

the equipment of motor carriers in 

interstate commerce. See 49 U.S.C. 104. 

This authority, first granted to the ICC 

in the Motor Carrier Act of 1935 (Pub. 

L. 74–255, 49 Stat. 543, Aug. 9, 1935), 

now appears in chapter 315 of title 49 

of the U.S. Code. The regulations issued 

under this authority became known as 

the Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Regulations, appearing generally at 49 

CFR parts 350–399. The administrative 

powers to enforce chapter 315 were also 

transferred from the ICC to the DOT in 

1966 and appear in chapter 5 of title 49 

of the U.S. Code. The Secretary of the 

U.S. Department of Transportation 

(Secretary) delegated oversight of these 

provisions to the Federal Highway 

Administration (FHWA), a predecessor 

agency of the FMCSA. The FMCSA 

Administrator has been delegated
