responsibilities among the various levels ofgovernment, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).

This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045, "Protection ofChildren from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks" (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it isnot economically significant.

The requirements ofsection 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272) do not apply to this rule because it imposes no standards.

This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions ofthe Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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 arule report to Congress and the Comptroller General. However, section 808 provides that any rule for which the issuing agency for good cause finds that notice and public procedure thereon are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest, shall take effect at such time as the agency promulgating the rule determines. 5U.S.C. 808(2). EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the reasons therefor, and established an effective date of November 16, 2004. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House ofRepresentatives, and the Comptroller General ofthe United States prior to publication ofthe rule in the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This rule is not a "major rule" as defined by 5U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) ofthe CAA, petitions forjudicial review ofthis action must be filed in the United States Court ofAppeals for the appropriate circuitby January 18, 2005. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator ofthis final rule does not affect the finality ofthis rule for the
purpose ofjudicial review nor does it extend the time within which petition forjudicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of suchrule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

40 CFR Part 52 [CA120-REC; FRL-7837-9]

Correctionsto the California State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Finalrule.

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the deletion ofvarious local rules from the California State Implementation Plan (SIP) that

were incorporated into the SIP in error. These primarily include rules concerning procedures before the local hearing board, local fees, enforcement authorities, posting ofpermits, administrative permit requirements, and appeals. EPAhas determined that the continued presence ofthese rules in the SIP ispotentially confusing and thus harmful to affected sources, local agencies and to EPA. The intended effect ofthis final action is to delete these rules andmake the SIP consistent with the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA orthe Act). DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on December 16, 2004. ADDRESSES: You may inspect copies of the administrative record for this action
atEPA's Region IX office during normal business hours. You may also see copies ofthe rules atthe locations listed in
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION under "Public Inspection."

Table ofContents I.Proposed Action II.Public Comments and EPAResponses III.EPA Action IV.Administrative Requirements

I. Proposed Action

OnJanuary 22, 2004 (69FR 3045), EPA proposed to delete various rules from the California SIP, after determining that they had been approved into the SIP in error. Most of these rules fall into one ofthe following categories:

A. Rules that govern local hearing board procedures and other administrative requirements such asthe frequency ofmeetings, salaries paidto board members, andpetitioning for a local hearing.

B. Administrative permit rules such

as those that describe procedures for action, denial, appeal,reinstatement, andposting ofpermits to operate. Substantive localrequirements to fulfill CAA new source review and operating permit provisions are Federally approved ordelegated elsewhere.

C. Variance provisions that provide formodification ofthe requirements of the applicable SIP. The variance procedures included in today's action

arebased in State law. SeeCalifornia Health &Safety Code §§42350-64. State

or district-issued variances provide an * applicant with amechanism to obtain relief from state enforcement ofa State

or local ruleunder certain conditions. Pursuant to Federal law, specifically section 110(i) ofthe CleanAir Act, 42 U.S.C. 7410(i), neither EPA nor a State
may revise a State Implementation Plan (SIP) by issuing an "order, suspension, plan revision or other action modifying
any requirement ofan applicable implementation plan" without a plan promulgation or-revision.EPA and California have longrecognized that a state-issued variance, though binding as

amatter ofState law, does not prevent EPA from enforcing the underlying SIP provisions unless and until EPA approves that variance as a SIPrevision. The variance provisions included in today's action are deficient for various
reasons, including their failure to address the fact that a stateor districtissued variance has no effect on Federal enforceability unless the variance is submitted to and approved by EPA as a SIP revision. Therefore, their inclusion inthe SIP is inconsistent with the Act and may be confusing to regulated industry and the general public. Moreover, because state-issued variances require independent EPA approval in orderto modify the substantive requirements ofa SIP, removal ofthese variance provisions from the SIP will have no effect on regulated entities. SeeIndustrial Environmental Associationv. Browner, No. 97-71117 (9th Cir., May 26, 2000).

D. Various provisions describing local
agency investigative or enforcement authority including the authority to inspect, make arrests, issue violation notices, and issue orders for abatement. Statesmay need to adopt such rules to demonstrate adequate enforcement authority under section 110(a)(2) ofthe Act, but they should notbe approved into the applicable SIPto avoid potential conflict with EPA's independent authorities provided in §113, § 114 and elsewhere.

E. Local fee provisions that are not economic incentive programs and are notdesigned toreplace orrelax a SIP emission limit.While itis appropriate forlocal agencies to implement fee provisions, for example, torecover costs forissuing permits, it isgenerally not appropriate to make local fee collection federally enforceable.

II.Public Comments and EPA Responses

EPA's proposed action provided a 30- day public comment period. During this period, we did not receive any public
comments.
Im. EPA Action

Based on further review, we have decided notto finalize'our proposed removal ofRule 230, Action on Applications from the Mendocino County Air PollutionControl District (MCAPCD) portion ofthe California SIP. These provisions appear appropriate for inclusion in the SIP.

As authorized in section 110(k)(6) of the Act,EPA is deleting allthe rules listedin the proposal from the California SIP, with the exception of MCAPCD Rule 230 as noted above.

In this action,EPA is also reinserting

aparagraph,listing EPA-approved rules ofthe California SIPthat were inadvertently deleted from Title 40 of the Code ofFederal Regulations, part 52, § 52.220, paragraph (c)(31)(i)(A). On December 8, 1976, at41 FR53661, EPA published a finalrulemaking action approving Rules 200to 216 ofthe Great Basin Unified Air PollutionControl District submitted bythe California Air Resources Board as revisions to the California SIP. The listing ofthese rules

was inadvertently deleted from the Code ofFederal Regulations. Two ofthese provisions, Rules 211 and 214, are being removed from the SIPin the new paragraph 52.220(c)(31)(i)(H). With these changes, the CFR description of the SIP will be up to date.

IV. Administrative Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a "significant regulatory action" and therefore is not subject to reviewby the OfficeofManagement and Budget. For thisreason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 32111, "Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly AffectEnergy Supply, Distribution, or Use" (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will nothave asignificant economic impact on a substantial number ofsmall entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 etseq.). Because this rule does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by State law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described inthe Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of1995 (PublicLaw 104-4).

This rule also doesnot have tribal implications because itwillnot have a substantial direct effect on one ormore Indian tribes, on the relationship between theFederal Government and Indian tribes, oron the distribution.of
power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes,

as specified byExecutive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Nor willithave substantial direct effects on the States, onthe relationship between the National Government and the States,

or onthe distribution ofpower and responsibilities among the various levels ofgovernment, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it does not alterthe relationship orthe distribution ofpower andresponsibilities established inthe Clean AirAct. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045, "Protection ofChildren from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks" (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

### 67063 *67064 Federal Register/Vol. 69, No. 220/Tuesday, November 16, 2004/Rules and Regulations

* 1997), because itis not economically

significant.

In this action, EPA is not developing

oradopting a technical standard. Thus, the requirements ofsection 12(d) ofthe NationalTechnology Transfer and Advancement Act of1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does
not impose an information collection burden under the provisions ofthe Paperwork Reduction Act of1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 etseq.).

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 etseq., as added bythe Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule maytake effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit arule report, which includes a copy ofthe rule, to eachHouse ofthe Congress and to the Comptroller General ofthe 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 ofthe United States prior topublication ofthe rule in the Federal Register.A majorrule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a "major rule" as defined by5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) ofthe Clean AirAct, petitions forjudicial review of this action mustbe filed inthe United States Court ofAppeals forthe appropriate circuit byJanuary 18, 2005. Filing a petition forreconsideration by the Administrator ofthis final rule does
not affect the finality ofthisrule forthe purposes ofjudicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition forjudicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule oraction. This action may not be challenged laterin proceedings to enforce its requirements. (Seesection 307(b)(2).)

Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Seating Systems

AGENCY: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), DOT.

ACTION: Termination ofrulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice terminates a rulemaking proceeding to amend Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS)No. 207, "Seating systems." NHTSA is seeking to improve motor vehicle seat performance in rear impacts. The agency has conducted extensive physical testing ofseatbacks, computer modeling of seated occupants in rear impacts and dynamic testing of instrumented test dummies invehicle
seats. However, additional research and data analyses are needed to allow an informed decision on a rulemaking action in this area. Since the SemiAnnual Regulatory Agenda (Unified Agenda) is intended to provide the public with information on rulemaking actions tobe taken in the next year or so, and since we do not anticipate being able to take rulemaking action inthis

area in that timeframe, we are terminating rulemaking proceedings on this issue. Research into this area will continue as time andresources allow, particularly as itrelates to the goal of unifying FMVSS No. 202, "Head restraints," and FMVSS No. 207 into a single comprehensive rear impact protection standard.
