Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Texas;

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to 

the Texas State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). The revisions to the Texas 

Administrative Code (TAC) were 

submitted in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2008, 

2010, 2011 and 2012. These revisions 

are related to the implementation of the 

state’s motor vehicle emissions 

Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) 

program and the Locally Enforced Motor 

Vehicle Idling Limitations. The EPA is 

approving these revisions pursuant to 

the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

August 25, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R06–OAR–2010–0890. All

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

The background for today’s action is 

discussed in detail in our April 15, 2014 

proposal (79 FR 21179) and the 

accompanying Technical Support 

Document. In that notice we proposed 

to approve submittals that revise the 

Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

related to the implementation of the 

state’s motor vehicle emissions 

Inspection and Maintenance (I/M) 

program and the Locally Enforced Motor 

Vehicle Idling Limitations. We received 

no comments on our proposed approval. 

Therefore, we are finalizing our 

approval as proposed, with the 

exception of the clerical errors noted 

below. Specifically, we are approving 

submittals dated August 16, 2002, 

December 30, 2002, November 14, 2005, 

May 15, 2006, February 28, 2008, 

December 22, 2010, August 30, 2011 

and August 31, 2012. These submittals 

include revised narratives, rules, and 

supporting documentation. We are 

approving these revisions to Title 30 of 

the Texas Administrative Code (30 

TAC). The revisions address testing 

requirements, updating equipment 

analyzer specifications, repealing 

duplicative I/M waiver rules, 

withdrawing OBD as a contingency 

measure, repealing an early 

participation incentive program, 

revising vehicles idling waivers and 

numerous other administrative, nonsubstantive rule changes that add clarity 

and improve readability of the rules. 

EPA is approving these revisions 

pursuant to sections 110 and 182 of the 

CAA. 

The Proposed Action section of our 

April 15, 2014 proposal contained 

clerical errors. Specifically, that section 

inadvertently lists revisions to Chapter 

114 of 30 TAC 114.211, 144.212, 

144.213, 114.214, 114.215, 144.216, 

144.217 and 114.219. See 79 FR at 

21186. However, those sections are not 

in the SIP; and we are not acting on any 

submittal of those sections at this time. 

Additionally, we incorrectly listed 

Chapter 114.1 and 114.4 in the Proposed 

Action section of the April 15, 2014 

proposal, but we are not taking any 

action on revisions to Section 114.1 or

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 143 / Friday, July 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 43265 

114.4 at this time. This action finalizes 

approval of revisions to only 30 TAC 

§§ 114.2, 114.50, 114.51, 114.52, 114.53, 

114.512, and 114.517. 

II. Final Action 

The EPA is approving revisions to 

regulations, and updates to the I/M 

portion of the mobile source strategies 

that control emissions from motor 

vehicles in Texas. We are approving 

revisions to the following sections 

within Chapter 114 of 30 TAC: 114.2, 

114.50, 114.51, 114.52 (repealed), 

114.53, 114.512, and 114.517. We are 

also approving revisions to 37 TAC 

23.93. We are approving the following 

SIP revisions, including narratives, that 

revise the I/M and vehicle idling 

programs: August, 16, 2002, December 

30, 2002, November 14, 2005, May 15, 

2006, February 28, 2008, December 22, 

2010, August 30, 2011 and August 31, 

2012. We are approving these SIP 

revisions except for the revisions to 

114.50(b)(2) as explained in the 

discussion of the November 14, 2005 

submittal in the proposal. The EPA is 

approving these revisions in accordance 

with sections 110 and 182 of the Act 

and EPA’s regulations and consistent 

with EPA guidance. 

III. 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 CAA. Accordingly, 

this action 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 CAA; 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). 

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 September 23, 

2014. Filing a petition for 

reconsideration by the Administrator of 

this final rule does not affect the finality 

of this action for the purpose 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).)
