SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document wherever “we,” “us,” or “our” is used, we mean the EPA. I. Background On January 3, 2020 the State of South Dakota submitted proposed revisions and additions to the ARSD. In this action, we are proposing to approve the additions to the ARSD pertaining to the definitions section. II. EPA's Evaluation On January 3, 2020 the EPA received revisions for the ARSD for the State of South Dakota. The submittal was signed by the Governor and received a 30-day State public comment period starting on November 26, 2019 (no requests were made for a public hearing). The EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to the ARSD, specifically the additions to the definitions section, for the State of South Dakota submitted by the State on January 3, 2020 in this action.
                    ( print page 11212) III. Proposed Action In this action, the EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to the ARSD submitted by the State of South Dakota on January 3, 2020, specifically the additions of 74:36:01(74) and 74:36:01(75) in the definitions section of the ARSD.[1]
                    
                     The subsections of the ARSD definitions section we are proposing to approve, 74:36:01(74) and 74:36:01(75), contain the definitions of `closed landfill' and `closed landfill subcategory' respectively. In this action, we are proposing to approve the addition of the abovementioned subsections to the definitions section of the ARSD. Additional revisions and additions to the ARSD, related to content including `closed landfill' and `closed landfill subcategory' have been proposed for approval in a separate document [(85 FR 68538) Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants; South Dakota; Control of Emissions From Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills].

 IV. Incorporation by Reference In this document, the EPA is proposing to include regulatory text in an EPA final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference South Dakota's January 3, 2020 submission of the ARSD of the State of South Dakota as described in the Proposed Action section of this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through 
                    *www.regulations.gov*
                     and at the EPA Region 8 Office (please contact the persons identified in the 
                    **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**
                     section of this preamble for more information). V. 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. 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 proposes to approve 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);
                Is not anExecutive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under Executive Order 12866;
                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 inExecutive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
                Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject toExecutive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
                Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive 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, underExecutive 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 proposed 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 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
