CFT regime, FinCEN remains concerned 

that Burma has not yet implemented its 

new reforms and has not displayed 

adequate effectiveness in mitigating the 

risks and threats of money laundering 

and terrorist financing. FinCEN also 

notes that a significant portion of 

financial activity in Burma relies upon 

informal money transfer systems, which 

remain largely unregulated and 

unsupervised. 

FinCEN is also concerned that Burma 

has not sufficiently addressed the 

corruption issues identified in the 2003 

finding. Burma’s ranking on 

Transparency International’s 

International Corruption Perceptions 

Index remains high. The U.S. State 

Department’s 2016 International 

Narcotics Control Strategy Report on 

Burma notes that ‘‘corruption is 

endemic in both business and 

government. . . The rule of law remains 

weak, and Burma continues to face a 

significant risk of narcotics proceeds 

being laundered through commercial 

ventures.’’ 10

The United States also continues to 

recognize Burma as a haven for 

international drug trafficking. In 

September 2016, under the Foreign 

Relations Authorization Act, the 

President determined Burma to be a 

major illicit drug producing country or 

major drug-transit country.11 Further, 

Burma’s cooperation with U.S. law 

enforcement, while improved since 

2003, nonetheless remains nascent and 

largely untested. 

Considerations for Exceptive Relief 

As noted in the final rule, the Section 

311 action was designed to encourage 

Burma to make necessary changes to its 

AML/CFT regime in order to address 

FinCEN’s concerns. Burma has begun to 

address those concerns, but significant 

work remains. FinCEN welcomes 

Burma’s recent commitment to work 

with FinCEN and other components of 

the U.S. Department of the Treasury, as 

well as with the U.S. government more 

broadly, in advancing its AML/CFT 

efforts. FinCEN has considered Burma’s 

progress, its remaining deficiencies, and 

its commitment to address those 

deficiencies in deciding to issue this 

exceptive relief. 

This exceptive relief also takes into 

account the effect of FinCEN’s action on 

U.S. national security and foreign 

policy, as did the final rule.12 FinCEN’s 

final rule contained an exemption at 31 

CFR 1010.651(b)(3) that allowed U.S. 

financial institutions to maintain 

correspondent accounts for Burmese 

banks if such activity was licensed 

under authorities administered by the 

U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office 

of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Since 

2012, OFAC has, via general licenses, 

authorized a broad range of financial 

activity with respect to Burma that 

would otherwise have been prohibited 

under the Section 311 rule. On October 

7, 2016, the President terminated the 

national emergency with respect to 

Burma and revoked all Burma sanctions 

Executive orders, lifting the economic 

and financial sanctions on Burma 

administered by OFAC. As a result of 

the termination of the Burma sanctions 

program, the OFAC general licenses 

referenced above are no longer in effect. 

Therefore, the exemption incorporated 

into FinCEN’s final rule at 31 CFR 

1010.651(b)(3), which effectively 

permitted U.S. correspondent account 

activity with Burmese banks, no longer 

has any operational effect. FinCEN has 

taken this into consideration in deciding 

to issue this exceptive relief.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is finalizing approval and 

finalizing the conditional approval of 

portions of the fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5) State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

and other general rule revisions 

submitted by the State of Utah. The 

revisions affect the Utah Division of 

Administrative Rules (DAR), R307–300 

Series; Requirements for Specific 

Locations. The revisions had 

submission dates of May 9, 2013, May 

20, 2014, September 8, 2015, and March 

8, 2016. The March 8, 2016 submittal 

contains rule revisions to address our 

February 25, 2016 conditional approval 

of several Utah DAR R307–300 Series 

rules submitted on February 2, 2012, 

May 9, 2013, and May 20, 2014. These 

area source rules control emissions of 

direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors, 

which are sulfur dioxides (SO2), 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile 

organic compounds (VOC). 

Additionally, the EPA is finalizing to 

approve the State’s reasonably available 

control measure (RACM) determinations 

for the rule revisions that pertain to the 

PM2.5 SIP. This action is being taken 

under section 110 of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

November 18, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On October 17, 2006 (71 FR 61144), 

the EPA strengthened the level of the 

24-hour PM2.5 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS), lowering 

the primary and secondary standards 

from 65 micrograms per cubic meter 

(mg/m3), the 1997 standard, to 35 mg/m3. 

On November 13, 2009 (74 FR 58688), 

the EPA designated three nonattainment 

areas in Utah for the 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS of 35 mg/m3. These are the Salt 

Lake City, Utah; Provo, Utah; and 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 19, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 71989 

1 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

Logan, Utah-Idaho nonattainment areas. 

The State of Utah has made a number 

of SIP submittals intended to address 

the requirements under part D of title I 

of the CAA for these PM2.5

nonattainment areas. Among those 

requirements are those in sections 

172(c)(1) and 189(a)(1)(C) regarding 

RACM and reasonably available control 

technology (RACT). 

On August 18, 2016 (81 FR 55156), 

the EPA proposed to approve and 

conditionally approve a number of 

RACM components in the PM2.5

Moderate area SIP submitted by the 

State. Our proposed notice provides 

details on the EPA’s interpretation of 

the RACM requirements under part D 

and our evaluation of the State’s 

submittals. The submittals dated May 9, 

2013, May 20, 2014, September 8, 2015, 

and March 8, 2016, contained various 

revisions to the Utah DAR, Title R307— 

Environmental Quality, set of rules, 

most of which are applicable to the Utah 

SIP for PM2.5 nonattainment areas. The 

rules we are addressing in this final rule 

were provided by Utah in the four 

different submissions listed above, and 

these rules are R307–101–2, General 

Requirements: Definitions; R307–302, 

Solid Fuel Burning Devices in Box 

Elder, Cache, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, 

Utah, and Weber Counties; R307–312, 

Aggregate Processing Operations for 

PM2.5 Nonattainment Areas; and R307– 

328, Gasoline Transfer and Storage. 

II. Response to Comments 

The EPA did not receive any 

comments on the proposed action. 

III. Final Action 

For the reasons stated in our proposed 

notice, the EPA is finalizing approval of 

revisions to Administrative Rule R307– 

101–2, along with revisions in R307– 

300 Series; Requirements for Specific 

Locations (Within Nonattainment and 

Maintenance Areas), R307–312 and 

R307–328 for incorporation into the 

Utah SIP as submitted by the State of 

Utah on March 8, 2016. This final rule 

completes the February 25, 2016 (81 FR 

9343) conditional approval for R307– 

101–2, R307–312, and R307–328 that 

had submission dates of February 2, 

2012, May 9, 2013, and May 20, 2014. 

Additionally, we are finalizing approval 

of Utah’s determination that R307–312 

constitutes RACM for the Utah PM2.5

SIP that was conditionally approved on 

February 25, 2016 (81 FR 9343); 

however, we are not acting at this time 

to determine that Utah’s PM2.5

attainment plan has met all 

requirements regarding RACM under 

subparts 1 and 4 of part D, title I of the 

Act. We intend to act separately on the 

remainder of Utah’s PM2.5 attainment 

plan. 

The EPA is finalizing the conditional 

approval of revisions for R307–302 

found in the May 9, 2013, May 20, 2014, 

and September 8, 2015 submittals. 

Additionally, the EPA is finalizing the 

conditional approval of Utah’s 

determination that R307–302 constitutes 

RACM for the Utah PM2.5 SIP for solid 

fuel burning devices. As stated earlier, 

we are not determining that Utah’s 

PM2.5 attainment plan has met all 

requirements regarding RACM under 

subparts 1 and 4 of part D, title I of the 

Act. Under section 110(k)(4) of the Act, 

the EPA may approve a SIP revision 

based on a commitment by the state to 

adopt specific enforceable measures by 

a date certain, but not later than one 

year after the date of approval of the 

plan revision. On May 19, 2016, Utah 

submitted a commitment letter to adopt 

and submit specific revisions within 

one year of our final action on these 

submittals; specifically to add 

continuous controls that extend to 

startup, shutdown, and malfunction, by 

establishing a prohibition on fuel types 

that can’t be burned in a solid fuel 

burning device at any time. Since we are 

finalizing our conditional approval, 

Utah must adopt and submit the specific 

revisions it has committed to within one 

year of our finalization. If Utah does not 

submit these revisions within one year, 

or if we find Utah’s revisions to be 

incomplete, or we disapprove Utah’s 

revisions, this conditional approval will 

convert to a disapproval. If any of these 

convert to a disapproval, that will 

constitute a disapproval of a required 

plan element under part D of title I of 

the Act, which starts an 18-month clock 

for sanctions, see CAA section 179(a)(2), 

and the two-year clock for a federal 

implementation plan (FIP) to address 

the disapproved plan element, see CAA 

section 110(c)(1)(B). 

IV. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of Utah 

Division of Administrative Rules 

described in the amendments set forth 

to 40 CFR part 52 below. Therefore, 

these materials have been approved by 

the EPA for inclusion in the state 

implementation plan, have been 

incorporated by reference by the EPA 

into that plan, are fully federally 

enforceable under sections 110 and 113 

of the CAA as of the effective date of the 

final rulemaking of the EPA’s approval, 

and will be incorporated by reference by 

the Director of the Federal Register in 

the next update to the SIP compilation.1

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these materials generally 

available through www.regulations.gov 

and/or at the EPA Region 8 Office 

(please contact the person identified in 

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this preamble for more 

information). 

V. 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, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. Accordingly, this action merely 

approves of state law as meeting federal 

requirements and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

this final action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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 


jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES
71990 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 19, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

• does not provide the 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the EPA or 

an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 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 December 19, 

2016. 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 may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action on 

portions of six submissions from the 

State of Utah that are intended to 

demonstrate that the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) meets certain 

interstate transport requirements of the 

Clean Air Act (Act or CAA). These 

submissions address the 2006 and 2012 

fine particulate matter (PM2.5) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS), 2008 ozone NAAQS, 2008 

lead (Pb) NAAQS, 2010 sulfur dioxide 

(SO2) NAAQS and 2010 nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2) NAAQS. The interstate 

transport requirements under the CAA 

consist of four elements: Significant 

contribution to nonattainment (prong 1) 

and interference with maintenance 

(prong 2) of the NAAQS in other states; 

and interference with measures required 

to be included in the plan for other 

states to prevent significant 

deterioration of air quality (prong 3) or 

to protect visibility (prong 4). 

Specifically, the EPA is approving 

interstate transport prongs 1, 2 and 4 for 

the 2008 Pb NAAQS, approving prong 4 

for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, disapproving 

prong 4 for the 2006 PM2.5, 2008 ozone, 

2010 NO2 and 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, and 

disapproving prong 2 for the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS.

I. Background 

On May 10, 2016, the EPA proposed 

action on two submittals from Utah for 

the interstate transport requirements of 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 

2008 Pb and 2008 ozone NAAQS. 81 FR 

28807. An explanation of the CAA 

requirements, a detailed analysis of the 

state’s submittals, and the EPA’s 

rationale for approval of a portion of the 

2008 Pb submittal and disapproval of a 

portion of the 2008 ozone submittal 

were all provided in the notice of 

proposed rulemaking, and will not be 

restated here. The public comment 

period for this proposed rule ended on 

June 9, 2016. The EPA received four 

comments on the proposal, which will 

be addressed in the ‘‘Response to 

Comments’’ section, below. 

In the May 10, 2016 proposed action, 

the EPA proposed to disapprove the 

Utah SIP for prongs 1 and 2 of CAA 

section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2008 

ozone NAAQS. In that document, the 

EPA cited to air quality modeling 

conducted to support the promulgation 

of an update to the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule to address interstate 

transport with respect to the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS (CSAPR Update). The air 

quality modeling (1) identified locations 

in the U.S. where the EPA anticipates 

nonattainment or maintenance issues in 

2017 for the 2008 ozone NAAQS (these 

are identified as nonattainment and 

maintenance receptors), and (2) 

quantified the projected contributions 

from emissions from upwind states to 

downwind ozone concentrations at the 

nonattainment and maintenance 

receptors in 2017. The document also
