 Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 52
[WV103-6041; FRL-9240-1]
 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
 ACTION: Final rule; administrative change.
 SUMMARY: EPA is updating the materials submitted by West Virginia that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the State Implementation Plan (SIP).

 DATES: *Effective Date:*
                         This action is effective December 28, 2010.
 ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, EPA Headquarters Library, Room Number 3334, EPA West Building, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, and NARA. If you wish to obtain materials from a docket in the EPA Headquarters Library, please call the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Docket/Telephone number: (202) 566-1742; or NARA. For information on the availability of this material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The SIP is a living document which the State revises as necessary to address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised regulations to make them part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference Federally-approved SIPs as a result of consultations between 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 February 10, 2005 (70 FR 7024), EPA published a 
                    **Federal Register**
                     beginning the new IBR procedure for West Virginia. On February 28, 2007 (72 FR 8903) and February 10, 2009 (74 FR 6542), EPA published updates to the IBR material in West Virginia. Since the publication of the last IBR update, EPA has approved the following regulatory changes to the IBR materials in paragraph 52.2520(c): 1. Addition of Regulation 45 CSR 39. 2. Revisions to the following regulations: 45 CSR 6, 45 CSR 8, 45 CSR 40, and 45 CSR 41. 3. Removal of the following regulations: 45 CSR 1, 45 CSR 9, 45 CSR 12, and 45 CSR 26. II. EPA Action In this document, EPA is doing the following: 1. Announcing the update to the IBR material as of November 1, 2010. 2. Making corrections to the following entries listed in the paragraph 52.2520(c) chart, as described below: a. 45 CSR 6—removing text from the “Additional explanation/citation at 40 CFR § 52.2565” column. b. 45 CSR 7—revising the dates in the State effective date column so that the date format is consistent with that found throughout the paragraph. c. 45 CSR 21—reinstating section 45 CSR 45-21-36, which had been inadvertently removed from this paragraph. On February 1, 1995, (60 FR 6022), EPA approved 45 CSR 21, Section 36 as part of the West Virginia SIP. d. 45 CSR 39—Correcting the regulation title of section 45-39-15 in the “Title/subject” column. e. 45 CSR 41—correcting the regulation title to read “Control of Annual Sulfur Dioxides Emissions.” 3. In paragraph 52.2420(e), correcting the date format in the “EPA approval date column” for the entry entitled “State of West Virginia Transportation Conformity Requirements.” EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the “good cause” exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding “good cause,” authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation, and section 553(d)(3) which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are “impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.” Public comment is “unnecessary” and “contrary to the public interest” since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated citations and correcting non-substantive errors in the table entries. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews A. General Requirements 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 underExecutive 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( print page 81475)
                    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 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, underExecutive 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. B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General 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 rule 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**
                    . This rule is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). C. Petitions for Judicial Review EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the West Virginia SIP compilations had previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for judicial review for this “Identification of plan” reorganization update action for West Virginia.
