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 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). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by July 7, 2014. Filing a petition 

for reconsideration by the Administrator 

of this final rule does not affect the 

finality of this action 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 to approve Delaware’s 

regional haze five-year progress report 

SIP revision may not be challenged later 

in proceedings to enforce its 

requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

I. Why is the EPA using a direct final 

rule? 

The EPA is publishing this direct final 

rule without a prior proposed rule 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no adverse comment. This action makes 

technical amendments to address 

several minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in the regulatory 

text that established the air quality 

designations for certain areas for several 

NAAQS. However, in the ‘‘Proposed 

Rules’’ section of this Federal Register, 

we are publishing a separate document 

that will serve as the proposed rule to 

make the technical amendments if 

adverse comments are received on this 

direct final rule. We will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

must do so at this time. For further 

information about commenting on this 

rule, see the ADDRESSES section and 

section II of this document. 

If the EPA receives adverse comment, 

we will publish a timely withdrawal in 

the Federal Register informing the 

public that this direct final rule will not 

take effect. We would address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. If we 

receive adverse comment on a distinct 

provision of this rulemaking, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register indicating which 

provisions we are withdrawing. The 

provisions that are not withdrawn will 

become effective on the date set out 

above, notwithstanding adverse 

comment on any other provision. 

II. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

A. Submitting CBI 

Do not submit this information to the 

EPA through www.regulations.gov or 

email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information in a disk or CD– 

ROM that you mail to the EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD–ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

Send or deliver information identified 

as CBI only to the following address:

B. Tips for Preparing Your Comments 

When submitting comments, 

remember to: 

• Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

• Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Register (CFR) part or 

section number. 

• Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

• Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

III. What is the purpose of this action? 

Whenever the EPA establishes a new 

NAAQS, section 107(d) of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) requires the EPA to designate 

all areas of the country as meeting or not 

meeting the new NAAQS, or as 

unclassifiable where available 

information does not support a 

determination whether an area is 

meeting the NAAQS. The area 

designations and boundaries for each 

NAAQS are set forth in tables in the 

CFR at 40 CFR part 81. 

This action makes technical 

amendments to minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in the 40 CFR part 

81 regulatory text concerning the air 

quality designations for certain areas in 

fourteen states for the 1997 PM2.5

NAAQS, the 2008 Ozone NAAQS, the 

2008 Lead NAAQS, the 2010 NO2

NAAQS and the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. 

These states are: Alabama, Florida, 

Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, 

Minnesota, Missouri, North Carolina, 

Ohio, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington 

and Wisconsin. The affected areas and 

the inadvertent errors to be corrected are 

discussed in section IV and the 

revisions to the regulatory text are 

provided at the end of this preamble. 

This action does not change the 

designation for any area. 

IV. What are the technical amendments 

to inadvertent errors in prior 

designations? 

A. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 1997 PM2.5 Annual 

NAAQS 

In an action signed on December 17, 

2004, the EPA promulgated air quality 

designations for the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS (70 FR 944; January 5, 2005). 

The EPA designated Chattanooga as a 

multi-state nonattainment area that 

includes parts of Tennessee, Georgia 

and Alabama. As the naming 

convention for identifying multi-state 

nonattainment areas, the EPA uses the 

initials for all states that are partially or 

wholly included in the area. For the 

Chattanooga nonattainment area, the 

EPA inadvertently omitted the state 

initials for Alabama and identified the 

area as Chattanooga, TN-GA in the 40 

CFR part 81 tables designation tables. 

Therefore, it is not evident when 

looking at the area name in the 40 CFR 

part 81 tables for Tennessee and Georgia 

that the area includes a portion of 

Alabama. The EPA is correcting the area 

name to be Chattanooga, TN-GA-AL. 

B. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 2008 Ozone 

NAAQS 

In an action signed on April 30, 2012, 

the EPA promulgated air quality 

designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS 

(77 FR 30088; May 21, 2012). By letter 

dated January 28, 2014, the North 

Carolina Department of Environment 

and Natural Resources notified the EPA 

that there were errors in the 40 CFR part 

81 designation table for North Carolina. 

Specifically, North Carolina pointed out 

that Concord Township in Cabarrus 

County and Gold Hill Township in 

Rowan County were not listed as part of 

the Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC 

nonattainment area. 

In March 2009, and again in October 

2011, North Carolina recommended that 

the counties of Cabarrus, Gaston, 

Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union, 

in their entirety and a portion of Iredell 

County be designated as 

‘‘nonattainment.’’ After evaluating 

North Carolina’s recommendation, in 

December 2011, the EPA notified North 

Carolina that it intended to designate 

those areas as part of the Charlotte-Rock 

Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area. On 

February 29, 2012, North Carolina 

submitted an updated recommendation 

requesting that for Cabarrus, Gaston, 

Lincoln, Rowan and Union Counties, 

the EPA only include certain townships 

in the nonattainment area. North 

Carolina provided a multi-factor 

technical analysis for each county to 

support the partial county boundaries 

and provided maps identifying the 

townships the state recommended as 

nonattainment. The EPA evaluated the 

new technical information and 

concluded it was appropriate to include 

the partial counties, as recommended by 

North Carolina, as part of the designated 

nonattainment area. The technical 

analyses for Cabarrus and Rowan 

Counties and the nonattainment area 

maps are clear that Concord Township 

in Cabarrus County and Gold Hill 

Township in Rowan County were 

intended to be included as part of the 

nonattainment area. However, the two 

counties were not listed in Table 1 of 

their recommendation. In preparing the 

40 CFR part 81 designation table, the 

EPA relied on Table 1 for its list of 

counties included as part of the 

nonattainment area, and thus 

inadvertently did not include Concord 

and Gold Hill Townships. Therefore, the 

EPA is correcting the errors by listing 

Concord Township in Cabarrus County 

and Gold Hill Township in Rowan 

County as part of that Charlotte-Rock 

Hill, NC-SC nonattainment area, 

consistent with the state’s 

recommendation and the analysis in the 

record. 

In an action signed on May 31, 2012, 

the EPA promulgated the air quality 

designation for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS 

for several counties in Illinois, Indiana 

and Wisconsin (77 FR 34221; June 11, 

2012). The EPA designated all or parts 

of 11 counties as the ChicagoNaperville, IL-IN-WI nonattainment 

area, including part of Kenosha County, 

WI. In the 40 CFR part 81 table for 

Wisconsin, the EPA described the 

included part of Kenosha County in 

terms of townships, based on historical 

maps that the EPA has since learned are 

no longer in general use. Therefore, the 

EPA is replacing the description of the 

boundary for the included part of the 

county with an alternative description 

that is easily recognizable and well 

defined in existing maps and documents 

in current use. The alternative partial 

county description is ‘‘The portion of 

Kenosha County bounded by the Lake 

Michigan shoreline on the East, the 

Kenosha County boundary on the North, 

the Kenosha County boundary on the 

South and the I–94 corridor (including 

the entire corridor) on the West.’’ 

C. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 2008 Lead NAAQS 

The EPA completed the designations 

for the 2008 Lead NAAQS in two final 

rules. The EPA promulgated the first 

rule designating certain areas for the 

2008 Lead NAAQS in an action signed 

on November 16, 2010 (75 FR 71033; 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 25511 

November 22, 2010) and the second rule 

designating all remaining areas on 

November 8, 2011 (76 FR 72097; 

November 22, 2011). 

The EPA is correcting inadvertent 

errors in the entries for two areas in the 

40 CFR part 81 tables for the lead 

designations. In the second rule, the 

EPA inadvertently omitted the word 

‘‘County’’ in the name of the lead 

nonattainment area in Iowa and 

identified it as ‘‘Pottawattamie, IA’’ 

rather than ‘‘Pottawattamie County, IA.’’ 

The EPA is adding ‘‘County’’ to the area 

name. The area is correctly identified as 

‘‘Pottawattamie County, IA’’ in the 

Technical Support Document (TSD) for 

the area, which is available in the 

docket (EPA–HQ–OAR–2009–0443– 

0491). 

In the second rule designating areas 

for the 2008 Lead NAAQS, the EPA also 

reformatted the existing lead 

designation tables in 40 CFR part 81. 

For the ‘‘Iron, Dent, and Reynolds 

Counties, MO’’ nonattainment area, 

which was designated in the first rule, 

a typographical error occurred when the 

tables were reformatted, which resulted 

in the designation effective date for the 

included portion of Dent County being 

listed in the 40 CFR part 81 table as 

2/31/10 rather than 12/31/10. The 

effective date was correct in the original 

table included in the first rule. The EPA 

is correcting the typographical error. 

The effective date for the other portions 

of the nonattainment area is correctly 

identified as 12/31/10, consistent with 

the effective date for all other areas 

designated in the first designation rule. 

D. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS 

In an action signed on January 20, 

2012, the EPA promulgated air quality 

designations for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS 

(77 FR 9532; February 17, 2012). The 

EPA designated all areas as 

unclassifiable/attainment. In letters sent 

in June 2011, from the EPA Regional 

Administrators to the states, the EPA 

indicated it intended to designate all 

areas of the country as unclassifiable/

attainment using the boundaries each 

state had recommended to the EPA or 

using revised boundaries each state 

might provide in response to the letter. 

The EPA recommended that the states 

consider the implications for the 

prevention of significant deterioration 

permitting program if the entire state 

were designated as a single area rather 

than as several smaller areas. 

For the states of Indiana, Minnesota 

and Washington, the EPA inadvertently 

designated areas according to the state’s 

original recommendations rather than 

the revised boundary recommendations 

submitted by these states. For Idaho and 

Oregon, the EPA designated areas 

according to the EPA’s interpretation of 

each state’s original recommendation. 

Subsequently, the states informed the 

EPA that the agency had interpreted 

their recommendations incorrectly. The 

EPA is correcting the listings of the 

unclassifiable/attainment areas for each 

of these five states in accordance with 

their recommendations as discussed 

below. 

For Indiana, the EPA designated four 

counties separately and designated the 

remaining counties in the states 

collectively as ‘‘Rest of State.’’ By letter 

dated July 29, 2011, from Thomas W. 

Easterly, Commissioner of the State of 

Indiana, to Susan Hedman, EPA 

Regional Administrator, Indiana 

responded to the EPA’s June 2011 letter 

concerning designations for the NO2

NAAQS. Indiana said it ‘‘wishes to 

make it clear that each county within 

the state should be classified under the 

standard separately.’’ The EPA is 

correcting the listing of the of 

unclassifiable/attainment areas in 

Indiana to list those remaining counties 

as separate areas. 

For Minnesota, the EPA designated all 

areas in the state unclassifiable/

attainment collectively as ‘‘State of 

Minnesota.’’ By letter dated August 9, 

2011, from Paul W. Assen, 

Commissioner of Minnesota, to Susan 

Hedman, EPA Regional Administrator, 

Minnesota provided revised 

recommendations in response to the 

EPA’s June 2011 letter concerning 

designations for the NO2 NAAQS. 

Minnesota recommended that the EPA 

‘‘make a designation for each county 

within Minnesota.’’ The EPA is 

correcting the listing of the 

unclassifiable/attainment areas in 

Minnesota to list each county as a 

separate area. 

For Washington, the EPA designated 

all areas in the state unclassifiable/

attainment collectively as ‘‘State of 

Washington.’’ By letter dated August 19, 

2011, from Ted Sturdevant, Director of 

the State of Washington Department of 

Ecology, to Dennis J. McLerran, EPA 

Regional Administrator, Washington 

clarified the state’s recommendations in 

response to the EPA’s June 2011 letter 

concerning designations for the NO2

NAAQS. Washington recommended that 

all six of the state’s Air Quality Control 

Regions (AQCRs) be designated 

unclassifiable/attainment. The EPA is 

correcting the listing of the 

unclassifiable/attainment areas in 

Washington to list the areas by AQCRs. 

For Idaho, the EPA designated the 

unclassifiable/attainment areas by 

AQCRs, according to the EPA’s 

interpretation of the state’s December 

17, 2010, recommendation from Toni 

Hardesty, Director of the Idaho 

Department of Environmental Quality to 

Dennis J. McLerran, EPA Regional 

Administrator. Subsequently, in 

conversation with the EPA, Idaho 

clarified that the state had wanted a 

statewide area designation for the NO2

NAAQS rather than listing each AQCR 

as a separate area. The EPA is correcting 

the listings of the unclassifiable/

attainment areas for Idaho to specify one 

statewide unclassifiable/attainment area 

in accordance with the state’s original 

recommendation, as clarified. 

For Oregon, the EPA designated each 

county separately as an unclassifiable/

attainment area according to the EPA’s 

interpretation of the state’s January 21, 

2011, recommendation from Governor 

John Kitzhaber, MD to Dennis J. 

McLerran, EPA Regional Administrator. 

Subsequently, in conversation with the 

EPA, Oregon clarified that the state had 

wanted all areas in the state to be 

designated collectively as one statewide 

area for the NO2 NAAQS rather than by 

separate counties. The EPA is correcting 

the listings of the unclassifiable/

attainment areas for Oregon to specify 

one statewide unclassifiable/attainment 

area in accordance with the state’s 

original recommendation, as clarified. 

E. Technical Amendments Concerning 

Designations for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS 

In an action signed on July 25, 2013, 

the EPA promulgated the initial 

designations for certain areas for the 

2010 SO2 NAAQS (78 FR 47191; August 

5, 2013). The EPA is correcting 

inadvertent errors in descriptions for 

two of the areas. 

The EPA designated part of 

Hillsborough County, Florida as 

nonattainment. In the 40 CFR part 81 

table for Florida, the EPA described the 

boundary of the nonattainment portion 

of the county as: ‘‘That portion of 

Hillsborough County encompassed by 

the polygon with the vertices using 

Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) 

coordinates in UTM zone 17 with datum 

NAD83 as follows: (1) Vertices—UTM 

Easting (m) 35881, UTM Northing 

3076066; (2) vertices—UTM Easting (m) 

355673, UTM Northing 3079275; (3) 

vertices—UTM Easting (m) 360300, 

UTM Northing 3086380; (4) vertices— 

UTM Easting (m) 366850, UTM 

Northing 3086692; (5) vertices—UTM 

Easting (m) 368364, UTM Northing 

3083760; and (6) vertices—UTM Easting 

(m) 365708, UTM Northing 3079121.’’ 

Under (1) of the boundary description, 

the EPA made a typographical error that 

omitted a digit in identifying the UTM 

Easting (m) vertice. The EPA is 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
25512 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

correcting the error so that the number 

reads as ‘‘358581’’ rather than ‘‘35881.’’ 

This correction is consistent with the 

TSD for the nonattainment area, which 

is available in the docket (EPA–HQ– 

OAR–2012–0233–0307) and on the SO2

designations Web site. 

For the Campbell-Clermont Counties, 

KY-OH SO2 nonattainment area, the 

entry for the area in the 40 CFR part 81 

table for Ohio indicates that only part of 

Clermont County is included in the 

nonattainment area, but the boundary 

description for the included part was 

inadvertently omitted. Therefore, the 

EPA is adding the partial county 

description to read ‘‘Pierce Township’’ 

as provided in the TSD (EPA–HQ–OAR– 

2012–0233–0313) for the nonattainment 

area, which is available in the docket 

and on the SO2 designations Web site. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action makes technical 

amendments to minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations. This type of action is 

exempt from review under Executive 

Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 

21, 2011). 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act 

This action does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Burden is 

defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This action 

corrects minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations and does not require any 

party to perform an information 

collection. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

generally requires an agency to prepare 

a regulatory flexibility analysis of any 

rule subject to notice and comment 

rulemaking requirements under the 

Administrative Procedure Act or any 

other statute unless the agency certifies 

that the rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities. Small entities 

include small businesses, small 

organizations and small governmental 

jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing 

the impacts of today’s rule on small 

entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A 

small business as defined by the Small 

Business Administration’s regulations at 

13 CFR 121.201; (2) a small 

governmental jurisdiction that is a 

government of a city, county, town, 

school district or special district with a 

population of less than 50,000; and (3) 

a small organization that is any not-forprofit enterprise which is independently 

owned and operated and is not 

dominant in its field. 

After considering the economic 

impacts of today’s final rule on small 

entities, I certify that this action will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

This action makes technical 

amendments to address several minor, 

inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors 

in the regulatory text concerning the air 

quality designations for certain areas in 

prior designation actions and does not 

impose any requirements on small 

entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action contains no federal 

mandate under the provisions of Title II 

of the UMRA of 1995, 2 U.S.C. 1531– 

1538 for state, local or tribal 

governments or the private sector. The 

action does not impose an enforceable 

duty on any state, local or tribal 

governments or the private sector. 

Therefore, this action is not subject to 

the requirements of sections 202 and 

205 of the UMRA. 

This action is also not subject to the 

requirements of section 203 of UMRA 

because it contains no regulatory 

requirements that might significantly or 

uniquely affect small governments. This 

action corrects minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It will not have substantial 

direct effects on the states, on the 

relationship between the national 

government and the states, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132. This action 

make technical amendments to minor, 

inadvertent and nonsubstantive errors 

in prior area designations. Thus, 

Executive Order 13132 does not apply 

to this action. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications, as specified in Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000). This action only makes technical 

amendments to minor, inadvertent and 

nonsubstantive errors in prior area 

designations. Thus, Executive Order 

13175 does not apply to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) as 

applying only to those regulatory 

actions that concern health or safety 

risks, such that the analysis required 

under section 5–501 of the Executive 

Order has the potential to influence the 

regulation. This action is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 because it does 

not establish an environmental standard 

intended to mitigate health or safety 

risks. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355 (May 22, 

2001)), because it is not a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995, 

Public Law No. 104–113, section 12(d) 

(15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to 

use voluntary consensus standards 

(VCS) in its regulatory activities unless 

to do so would be inconsistent with 

applicable law or otherwise 

impracticable. VCS are technical 

standards (e.g., materials specifications, 

test methods, sampling procedures and 

business practices) that are developed or 

adopted by VCS bodies. The NTTAA 

directs the EPA to provide Congress, 

through the Office of Management and 

Budget, explanations when the agency 

decides not to use available and 

applicable VCS. This action does not 

involve technical standards. Therefore, 

the EPA did not consider the use of any 

VCS. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 

(Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes federal 

executive policy on environmental 

justice. Its main provision directs 

federal agencies, to the greatest extent 

practicable and permitted by law, to 

make environmental justice part of their 

mission by identifying and addressing, 

as appropriate, disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects of their programs, 

policies and activities on minority 

populations and low-income 

populations in the U.S. 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 86 / Monday, May 5, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 25513 

The EPA has determined that this rule 

will not have disproportionately high 

and adverse human health or 

environmental effects on minority or 

low-income populations because it does 

not affect the level of protection 

provided to human health or the 

environment. This action makes 

technical amendments to minor, 

inadvertent, nonsubstantive errors in 

the designations for certain areas. 

K. Congressional Review Act 

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. The 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. 

804(2). This rule will be effective on 

August 4, 2014. 

L. Judicial Review 

In the final actions designating areas 

for the PM2.5 NAAQS, ozone NAAQS, 

lead NAAQS, NO2 NAAQS, and SO2

NAAQS, the EPA determined that the 

actions were ‘‘nationally applicable’’ 

within the meaning of CAA section 

307(b)(1). Because this action is making 

corrections to those nationally 

applicable rules, we are determining 

that this action is also nationally 

applicable within the meaning of 

section 307(b)(1). Thus, petitions for 

review of this final action must be filed 

in the Court of Appeals for the District 

of Columbia Circuit. Section 307(b)(1) 

requires such petitions to be filed 

within 60 days from the date final 

action is published in the Federal 

Register.

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND 

SECURITY 

Federal Emergency Management 

Agency 

44 CFR Part 64 

[Docket ID FEMA–2014–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–8331] 

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http://

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact David Stearrett, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR Part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not 

participating in the NFIP and identified 

for more than a year on FEMA’s initial 

FIRM for the community as having 

flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This 

prohibition against certain types of 

Federal assistance becomes effective for 

the communities listed on the date 

shown in the last column. The 

Administrator finds that notice and 

public comment procedures under 5 

U.S.C. 553(b), are impracticable and 

unnecessary because communities listed 

in this final rule have been adequately 

notified. 

Each community receives 6-month, 

90-day, and 30-day notification letters 

addressed to the Chief Executive Officer 

stating that the community will be 

suspended unless the required 

floodplain management measures are 

met prior to the effective suspension 

date. Since these notifications were 

made, this final rule may take effect 

within less than 30 days. 

National Environmental Policy Act. 

This rule is categorically excluded from 

the requirements of 44 CFR Part 10, 

Environmental Considerations. No 

environmental impact assessment has 

been prepared. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The 

Administrator has determined that this 

rule is exempt from the requirements of 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act because 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, Section 1315, 42 

U.S.C. 4022, prohibits flood insurance 

coverage unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed no longer comply 

with the statutory requirements, and 

after the effective date, flood insurance 

will no longer be available in the 

communities unless remedial action 

takes place. 

Regulatory Classification. This final 

rule is not a significant regulatory action 

under the criteria of section 3(f) of 

Executive Order 12866 of September 30, 

1993, Regulatory Planning and Review, 

58 FR 51735. 

Executive Order 13132, Federalism. 

This rule involves no policies that have 

federalism implications under Executive 

Order 13132. 

Executive Order 12988, Civil Justice 

Reform. This rule meets the applicable 

standards of Executive Order 12988. 

Paperwork Reduction Act. This rule 

does not involve any collection of 

information for purposes of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.
