IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal 

regulations.21 Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state decisions, 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 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 on any Indian 

reservation land or in any other area 

where EPA or an Indian tribe has 

demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175. 

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 June 1, 2015. 

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)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Definitions 

For the purpose of this document, we 

are giving meaning to certain words or 

initials as follows: 

(i) The words or initials Act or CAA mean or 

refer to the Clean Air Act, unless the 

context indicates otherwise. 

(ii) The initials CO mean or refer to carbon 

monoxide. 

(iii) The words EPA, we, us or our mean or 

refer to the United States Environmental 

Protection Agency. 

(iv) The initials NAAQS mean or refer to the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards. 

(v) The initials SIP mean or refer to State

(vi) The words Montana and State mean or 

refer to the State of Montana. 

I. Background 

Eight years after an area is 

redesignated to attainment, Clean Air 

Act (CAA) section 175A(b) requires the 

state to submit a subsequent 

maintenance plan to EPA, covering a 

second 10-year period.1 This 

maintenance plan must demonstrate 

continued compliance with the NAAQS 

during this second 10-year period. On 

July 13, 2011, the Governor of 

Montana’s designee submitted to EPA a 

second 10-year maintenance plan for the 

Great Falls area for the CO NAAQS. 

Along with the revised Great Falls 

Maintenance Plan, the State submitted a 

CO maintenance plan for the Billings, 

Montana maintenance area, and an 

alternative strategy for monitoring 

continued attainment of the CO NAAQS 

in all of the State’s CO maintenance 

areas on July 13, 2011.2 The State 

submitted the alternative monitoring 

strategy in order to conserve resources 

by discontinuing the gaseous CO 

ambient monitors in both the Billings 

and Great Falls CO maintenance areas. 

We commented on the State’s 

‘‘Alternative Monitoring Strategy,’’ and 

the State submitted a revised version of 

the strategy, which incorporated our 

comments on June 22, 2012. 

In a document published on 

December 1, 2014, we proposed 

approval of the Great Falls second 10- 

year maintenance plan and the 

associated ‘‘Alternative Monitoring 

Strategy.’’ (79 FR 71057) 

II. Response to Comments 

The comment period for our 

December 1, 2014 proposed rule was 

open for 30 days. We did not receive 

any comments on the proposed action. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the revised Great 

Falls Maintenance Plan submitted on 

July 13, 2011. This maintenance plan 

meets the applicable CAA requirements 

and EPA has determined it is sufficient 

to provide for maintenance of the CO 

NAAQS over the course of the second 

10-year maintenance period out to 2022. 

EPA is also approving the State’s 

Alternative Monitoring Strategy, 

submitted on June 22, 2012, for the 

Great Falls CO maintenance area. We 

are not approving application of the 

Alternative Monitoring Strategy in other 

areas of Montana with this action, as the 

Alternative Monitoring Strategy must be 

considered on a case-by-case basis 

specific to the circumstances of each 

particular CO maintenance area rather 

than broadly. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders 

Review 

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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) 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 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The SIP is a living document which 

a state revises as necessary to address its 

unique air pollution problems. 

Therefore, the EPA, from time to time, 

must take action on SIP revisions 

containing new and/or revised 

regulations as being part of the SIP. On 

May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), the EPA 

revised the procedures for incorporating 

by reference Federally-approved SIPs, as 

a result of consultations between the 

EPA and the Office of the Federal 

Register (OFR). The description of the 

revised SIP document, IBR procedures 

and ‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997, Federal Register document. 

On January 25, 2005 (70 FR 9450), the 

EPA published a Federal Register 

document beginning the new IBR 

procedure for Idaho. On December 28, 

2012 (77 FR 76417), the EPA published 

an update to the IBR material for Idaho. 

Since the publication of the last IBR 

update, the EPA approved into the 

Idaho SIP the following regulatory 

changes: 1
