purposes of certain Clean Air Act

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

December 17, 2008, as supplemented on 

December 23, 2008, the Tribes 

submitted their TAS application as 

authorized by Clean Air Act section 

301(d) (42 U.S.C. 7601(d)) and EPA’s 

regulations at 40 CFR part 49. In their 

application, the Tribes requested TAS 

eligibility for purposes of Clean Air Act 

provisions that generally relate to grant 

funding (e.g., for air quality planning 

purposes) (section 105 (42 U.S.C. 7405)); 

involvement in EPA national ambient 

air quality redesignations for the 

Reservation (section 107(d)(3) (42 U.S.C. 

7407(d)(3)); receiving notices of, 

reviewing, and/or commenting on 

certain nearby permitting and sources 

(sections 505(a)(2) (42 U.S.C. 

7661d(a)(2)) and 126 (42 U.S.C. 7426); 

receiving risk management plans of 

certain stationary sources (section 

§ 112(r)(7)(B)(iii) (42 U.S.C. 

7412(r)(7)(B)(iii)); and participation in 

certain interstate and regional air 

quality bodies (sections 169B (42 U.S.C. 

7492), 176A (42 U.S.C. 7506a) and 184 

(42 U.S.C. 7511c). None of the 

provisions for which the Tribes 

requested eligibility entails the exercise 

of Tribal regulatory authority under the 

Clean Air Act. The Tribes’ TAS 

application thus does not request, and 

EPA’s decision to approve the 

application does not approve, Tribal 

authority to implement any Clean Air 

Act regulatory programs or to otherwise 

implement Tribal regulatory authority 

under the Clean Air Act. 

In accordance with EPA’s regulations, 

as part of its review process, EPA 

notified all appropriate governmental 

entities and the public of the Tribes’ 

TAS application and in that notice 

specified the geographic boundaries of 

the Wind River Indian Reservation as 

identified in the Tribes’ application. 

EPA afforded the appropriate 

governmental entities and the public a 

period totaling 60 days to provide 

written comments regarding any dispute 

concerning the boundary of the 

Reservation. Several commenters 

disagreed with the Tribes’ Reservation 

boundary description, asserting that a 

1905 Congressional Act, 33 Stat. 1016 

(1905) (1905 Act), altered and 

diminished the Reservation boundary. 

Consistent with established TAS 

procedures, EPA afforded the Tribes an 

opportunity to respond to comments 

received by EPA on the Tribes’ 

application and has previously made all 

comments received and the Tribes’ 

responses thereto available to the 

public. In addition, because EPA was 

aware of existing disagreements 

regarding the Reservation boundary, 

EPA exercised its discretion to consult 

with the U.S. Department of the Interior 

(DOI), which has expertise on Indian 

country issues. On October 26, 2011, 

EPA received an opinion from the DOI 

Solicitor addressing the Reservation 

boundary. 

On December 4, 2013, the Tribes sent 

EPA a letter requesting that EPA not 

address at this time the lands subject to 

Section 1 of the 1953 Act, 67 Stat. 592 

(1953), and stating that the Tribes would 

notify EPA in writing if and when they 

decide to request an EPA decision with 

respect to those lands. 

EPA has carefully considered the 

application materials, the comments 

received from appropriate governmental 

entities and the public and the Tribes’ 

responses to those comments, the 

opinion of the DOI Solicitor, as well as 

other materials, relevant case law, 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

provisions, and relevant EPA guidance. 

EPA has determined that the Northern 

Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes 

have met the requirements of CAA 

§ 301(d)(2) and 40 CFR 49.6 and are 

therefore approved to be treated in a 

similar manner as a state for purposes 

of CAA §§ 105, 505(a)(2), 107(d)(3), 

112(r)(7)(B)(iii), 126, 169B, 176A, and 

184. EPA’s decision also concludes that 

the boundaries of the Reservation 

encompass and include, subject to the 

proviso below concerning the 1953 Act, 

the area set forth in the 1868 Treaty of 

Fort Bridger, 15 Stat. 673 (1868), less 

those areas conveyed by the Tribes 

under the 1874 Lander Purchase Act, 18 

Stat. 291 (1874), and the 1897 

Thermopolis Purchase Act, 30 Stat. 93 

(1897), and including certain lands 

located outside the original boundaries 

that were added to the Reservation 

under subsequent legislation in 1940, 54 

Stat. 628 (1940). With regard to the 

lands subject to Section 1 of the 1953 

Act, 67 Stat. 592 (1953), consistent with 

the Tribes’ request that EPA’s TAS 

decision not address the lands described 

in the 1953 Act at this time, the lands 

are not included in the geographic scope 

of approval for this decision. EPA’s TAS 

decision therefore does not address the 

1953 Act area. Thus, EPA approved the 

Tribes’ Application for Treatment in a 

Manner Similar to a State Under the 

Clean Air Act for Purposes of Section 

105 Grant Program, Affected State 

Status and Other Provisions for Which 

No Separate Tribal Program is Required. 

A detailed explanation of EPA’s 

approval of the Tribes’ TAS application 

is contained within the Decision 

Document and accompanying 

attachments referred to in the 

ADDRESSES section of this notice and at 

http://www2.epa.gov/region8/tribalassistance-program. 

Judicial Review: Pursuant to section 

307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 

7607(b)(1)), Petitioners may seek 

judicial review of this approval in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

Tenth Circuit. Any petition for judicial 

review shall be filed within 60 days 

from the date this notice appears in the 

Federal Register, i.e., not later than 

February 18, 2014. 

Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. 

Dated: December 11, 2013.
