I. Background On October 23, 2013 (78 FR 63145), EPA proposed to approve elements of the Hawaii State Implementation Plan Revision for 2008 Lead National Ambient Air Quality Standard, Clean Air ActThis document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

3 §110(a)(1) and (2) (February 13, 2013) (“Hawaii Pb Infrastructure SIP”), submitted by the State of Hawaii on February 13, 2013. In our October 23, 2013 proposed rule, we also proposed to approve Hawaii Administrative Rules (HAR) section 11-60.1-90 (“Permit content”) into the Hawaii SIP. Section 110(a) of the CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA. The rationale supporting EPA's action, including the scope of infrastructure SIPs in general, is explained in that Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) and the associated technical support document (TSD) and will not be restated here. The TSD is available online
at http://www.regulations.gov , Docket ID number EPA–R09–OAR– 2013–0681. No public comments were received on the NPR.
II. Final Action EPA is approving HAR 11-60.1-90 (“Permit content”) and elements of the Hawaii Pb Infrastructure SIP. EPA is approving the Hawaii Pb Infrastructure SIP with respect to the following requirements:

· Section 110(a)(2)(A): Emission limits and other control

measures.

· Section 110(a)(2)(B): Ambient air quality monitoring/data system.This document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

EPA Region 9 on March 14, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version.

4 · Section 110(a)(2)(C) (in part): Program for enforcement of control measures and regulation of new stationary sources (minor New Source Review (NSR) program only).

· Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I): Interstate transport (significant contribution and interference with maintenance).

· Section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (in part): Interstate transport (visibility protection only).

· Section 110(a)(2)(E): Adequate resources and authority, conflict of interest, and oversight of local governments and regional agencies.

· Section 110(a)(2)(F): Stationary source monitoring and reporting.

· Section 110(a)(2)(G): Emergency episodes.

· Section 110(a)(2)(H): SIP revisions.

· Section 110(a)(2)(J) (in part): Public notification.

· Section 110(a)(2)(K): Air quality modeling and submission of modeling data.

· Section 110(a)(2)(L): Permitting fees.

· Section 110(a)(2)(M): Consultation/participation by affected local entities. As explained in our October 23, 2013 proposed rule and related TSD, we previously found the Hawaii Pb InfrastructureThis document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

5 SIP incomplete with respect to the PSD-related requirements of section 110(a)(2). Under CAA section 110(k)(1)(C), where EPA determines that a portion of a SIP submission is incomplete, “the State shall be treated as not having made the submission (or, in the Administrator's discretion, part thereof).” Accordingly, we are not acting on the Hawaii Pb Infrastructure SIP with respect to the PSD-related requirements in Sections 110(a)(2)(C), (D)(i)(II), (D)(ii), and (J).
III. 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, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves certain state laws as meeting federal requirements; this action 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);This document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

EPA Region 9 on March 14, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version.

6 · 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 CAA; and,

· Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legallyThis document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

EPA Region 9 on March 14, 2014. We have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this version, but it is not the official version.

7 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. section 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
. 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. section 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 [FEDERALThis document is a prepublication version, signed by Jared Blumenfeld, Regional Administrator,

Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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)). List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52
