13512 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 50 / Monday, March 16, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

affect only state enforcement and cannot 

have any impact on Federal 

enforcement authorities, EPA may at 

any time invoke its authority under the 

CAA, including, for example, sections 

113, 167, 205, 211 or 213, to enforce the 

requirements or prohibitions of the state 

plan, independently of any state 

enforcement effort. In addition, citizen 

enforcement under section 304 of the 

CAA is likewise unaffected by this, or 

any, state audit privilege or immunity 

law. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this proposed action, the EPA is 

proposing to include in a final EPA rule 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is proposing to 

incorporate by reference the VADEQ 

Regulations described in the proposed 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52. The 

EPA has made, and will continue to 

make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA 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 state law as meeting 

Federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this proposed 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 proposed rule, 

pertaining to Virginia’s control of VOC 

emissions from commercial and 

consumer products and existing 

stationary sources, 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.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District (SCAQMD) and 

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 

Management District (SMAQMD) 

portions of the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern particulate matter 

(PM) emissions from particulate matter 

air pollution control devices and 

residential wood burning. We are 

proposing to approve these local rules 

that regulate these emission sources 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the 

Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by April 15, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number EPA–09–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: SCAQMD Rule 1155, Particulate 

Matter (PM) Control Devices and 

SMAQMD Rule 421 Mandatory Episodic 

Curtailment of Wood and Other Solid 

Fuel Burning (except section 402). In 

the Rules and Regulations section of this 

Federal Register, we are approving 

these local rules in a direct final action 

without prior proposal because we 

believe these SIP revisions are not 

controversial. If we receive adverse 

comments, however, we will publish a 

timely withdrawal of the direct final 

rule and address the comments in 

subsequent action based on this 

proposed rule. Please note that if we 

receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

these rules and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rules, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rules that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

Long-Chain Perfluoroalkyl Carboxylate 

and Perfluoroalkyl Sulfonate Chemical 

Substances; Significant New Use Rule; 

Extension of Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of 

comment period. 

SUMMARY: EPA issued a proposed rule in 

the Federal Register January 21, 2015, 

concerning long-chain perfluoroalkyl 

carboxylate (LCPFAC) chemical 

substances and perfluoroalkyl sulfonate 

(PFAS) chemical substances. This 

document extends the comment period 

for 90 days, from March 23, 2015, to 

June 26, 2015. The comment period is 

being extended because EPA received 

several comments asserting that there 

may be significant implications for the 

supply chain and it is critical that 

interested stakeholders have sufficient 

time to respond to the proposed 

rulemaking. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

proposed rule published on January 21, 

2015 (80 FR 2885) is extended. 

Comments, identified by docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPPT–2013–0225, must be received on 

or before June 26, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: Follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document extends the public comment 

period established in the Federal 

Register proposed rule of January 21, 

2015. This proposed rule for LCPFAC 

chemical substances is proposing to 

designate as a significant new use 

manufacturing (including importing) or 

processing of an identified subset of 

LCPFAC chemical substances for any 

use that will not be ongoing after 

December 31, 2015, and all other 

LCPFAC chemicals substances for 

which there are currently no ongoing 

uses. For this SNUR, EPA is also 

proposing to make inapplicable the 

exemption for persons who import 

LCPFAC chemical substances as part of 

articles. In addition, EPA is also 

proposing to amend a SNUR for PFAS 

chemical substances that would make 

inapplicable the exemption for persons 

who import PFAS chemical substances 

as part of carpets. EPA is hereby 

extending the comment period, which 

was set to end on March 23, 2015, to 

June 26, 2015. 

To submit comments, or access the 

docket, please follow the detailed 

instructions provided under ADDRESSES
