SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

January 31, 2014, the Coast Guard 

published a final rule titled ‘‘Dry Cargo 

Residue Discharges in the Great 

Lakes.’’ 1 In this final rule, the Coast 

Guard implemented new requirements 

related to the operation of U.S. and 

foreign vessels carrying bulk dry cargo 

such as limestone, iron ore, and coal on 

the U.S. waters of the Great Lakes, and 

the operation of U.S. bulk dry cargo 

vessels anywhere on the Great Lakes. 

Our final rule delayed the effective 

date of 33 CFR 151.66(b)(5) because it 

contains collection of information 

provisions that require approval from 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3501–3520. On 

August 5, 2014, OMB approved the 

collection and assigned OMB Control 

Number 1625–0072. Accordingly, we 

announce that section 151.66(b)(5) is 

enforceable from September 15, 2014. 

The approval for this collection of 

information expires on August 31, 2017. 

This action completes the rulemaking 

associated with RIN 1625–AA89 and 

USCG–2004–19621. 

This document is issued under the 

authority of 5 U.S.C. 552(a).

Region 7] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Kansas; Infrastructure SIP 

Requirements for the 2008 Lead 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve elements of a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submission 

from the State of Kansas addressing the 

applicable requirements of Clean Air 

Act (CAA) section 110 for the 2008 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for Lead (Pb), which requires 

that each state adopt and submit a SIP 

to support implementation, 

maintenance, and enforcement of each 

new or revised NAAQS promulgated by 

EPA. These SIPs are commonly referred 

to as ‘‘infrastructure’’ SIPs. The 

infrastructure requirements are designed 

to ensure that the structural components 

of each state’s air quality management 

program are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. 

DATES: This final rule is effective 

October 15, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R07–OAR–2014–0271. All 

documents in the electronic docket are 

listed in the http://www.regulations.gov 

index. Although listed in the index, 

some information is not publicly 

available, i.e., CBI or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either electronically at http://

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, the terms 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This 

section provides additional information 

by addressing the following: 

I. Background 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Review 

I. Background 

On July 16, 2014, (79 FR 41476), EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) for the State of 

Kansas. The NPR proposed approval of 

Kansas’ submission that provides the 

basic elements specified in section 

110(a)(2) of the CAA, or portions 

thereof, necessary to implement, 

maintain, and enforce the 2008 Pb 

NAAQS. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

On January 13, 2012, EPA received a 

SIP submission from the state of Kansas 

that addresses the infrastructure 

elements specified in section 110(a)(2) 

for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. This 

submission addressed the following 

infrastructure elements of section 

110(a)(2): (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), 

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

requirements of section 110(a)(2) of the 

CAA and the rationale for EPA’s 

proposed action to approve the SIP 

submission are explained in the NPR 

and will not be restated here. No public 

comments were received on the NPR. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving Kansas’ submission 

which provides the basic program 

elements specified in section 

110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), 

(H), (J), (K), (L), and (M) of the CAA, or 

portions thereof, necessary to 

implement, maintain, and enforce the 

2008 Pb NAAQS, as a revision to the 

Kansas SIP. This action is being taken 

under section 110 of the CAA. As 

discussed in each applicable section of 

the NPR, EPA is not acting on section 

110(a)(2)(I)—Nonattainment Area Plan 

or Plan Revisions Under Part D and on 

the visibility protection portion of 

section 110(a)(2)(J). 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Review 

Under the CAA, 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, 


rmajette on DSK2TPTVN1PROD with RULES2
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 178 / Monday, September 15, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 54909 

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’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 

2011). 

• 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 CAA; 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 14, 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).)
