ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[FRL–8933–4] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Nebraska; Update to Materials 

Incorporated by Reference 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; notice of 

administrative change.

agency and approved by EPA. This 

update affects the SIP materials that are 

available for public inspection at the 

National Archives and Records 

Administration (NARA), the Air and 

Radiation Docket and Information 

Center located at EPA Headquarters in 

Washington, DC, and the Regional 

Office. 

DATES: Effective Date: This action is 

effective July 30, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are 

incorporated by reference into 40 CFR 

part 52 are available for inspection at 

the following locations: Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 7, 901 North 

5th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is 

a living document which the state 

revises as necessary to address the 

unique air pollution problems in the 

state. 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 Federallyapproved SIPs, as a result of 

consultations between EPA and the 

Office of Federal Register. 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 12, 1999, EPA published 

a document in the Federal Register (64 

FR 7091) beginning the new IBR 

procedure for Nebraska. On December 1, 

2003 (68 FR 67045), EPA published an 

update to the IBR material for Nebraska. 

In this document, EPA is doing the 

following: 

1. Announcing the update to the IBR 

material as of July 1, 2009. 

2. Correcting the date format in the 

‘‘State effective date’’ or ‘‘State 

Submittal date’’ and ‘‘EPA approval 

date’’ columns in § 52.1420 paragraphs 

(c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical 

month/day/year without additional 

zeros. 

3. Modifying the Federal Register 

citation in § 52.1420 paragraphs (c), (d) 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
37940 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 145 / Thursday, July 30, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

and (e) to reflect the beginning page of 

the preamble as opposed to the page 

number of the regulatory text. 

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 

providing notice of the updated 

Nebraska SIP compilation. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

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 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 

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, 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). 

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. This action is simply an 

announcement of prior rulemakings that 

have previously undergone notice and 

comment. Prior EPA rulemaking actions 

for each individual component of the 

Nebraska SIP compilation 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.

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans— 

Alabama: Birmingham 1997 8-Hour 

Ozone Contingency Measures 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Alabama State Implementation Plan 

(SIP), submitted by the Alabama 

Department of Environmental 

Management (ADEM), on February 6, 

2008, to adopt contingency measures in 

the form of permit conditions for two 

cement kilns. These contingency 

measures are for the maintenance of the 

1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in 

Jefferson and Shelby Counties 

(‘‘Birmingham Area’’). On May 12, 2006, 

EPA approved the 8-hour ozone 

redesignation of the Birmingham Area 

from nonattainment to attainment for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see, 71 

FR 27631). Additional measures may be 

necessary in the future; however, these 

revisions qualify as contingency 

measures as required under Section 

175A(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

When the Birmingham Area was 

redesignated to attainment, Alabama 

was also required to submit a 

maintenance plan which included 

provisions for contingency measures 

should the Area violate the standard 

after being redesignated to attainment. 

The May 12, 2006, maintenance plan 

was designed to keep the Birmingham 

Area in attainment through 2017, 

initially, with a later extension of the 

maintenance plan to include a time 

period of no less than 20 years after the 

Area was redesignated originally. After 

attaining the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard based on 2003–2005 ambient 

air monitoring data, the Birmingham 

Area violated the standard with 2004– 

2006 ambient air monitoring data. The 

February 6, 2008, SIP revision, provided 

by Alabama for EPA approval, was 

submitted to fulfill ADEM’s 

commitment to adopt within 18 months 

of a violation of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard, one or more contingency 

measures to help the Area re-attain the 

standard. EPA is approving these 

revisions pursuant to section 110 of the 

CAA. On March 27, 2008, EPA issued a 

revised ozone standard (see, 73 FR 

16436). This action, however, is being 

taken to address requirements under the 

1997 8-hour ozone standard. EPA will 

address the Birmingham compliance 

with the 2008 8-hour ozone standard in 

the future. 

DATES: This rule is effective on 

September 28, 2009 without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse 

comment by August 31, 2009. If EPA 

receives such comment, EPA will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this rule will not take effect.
