VI. Statutory and Executive Orders 

Review 

Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 

action merely approves some state law 

as meeting federal requirements; this 

proposed action 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 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). 

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).

Approval and Promulgation of State 

Plans for Designated Facilities and 

Pollutants; Virgin Islands; Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d)/129 

negative declaration for the Government 

of the United States Virgin Islands, for 

existing sewage sludge incinerator (SSI) 

units. This negative declaration certifies 

that existing SSI units subject to 

sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA do 

not exist within the jurisdiction of the 

United States Virgin Islands. The EPA is 

accepting the negative declaration in 

accordance with the requirements of the

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 26, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R02– 

OAR–2016–0088 to http://

www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 

The EPA may publish any comment

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. The EPA will generally not 

consider comments or comment 

contents located outside of the primary 

submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or 

other file sharing system). For 

additional submission methods, the full 

EPA public comment policy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of this Federal 

Register, the EPA is approving the 

Virgin Islands’ negative declaration 

submitted December 1, 2015 as a direct 

final rule without prior proposal 

because the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial revision amendment 

and anticipates no adverse comments to 

this action. 

A detailed rationale for the approval 

is set forth in the direct final rule. If no 

adverse comments are received in 

response to this action, no further 

activity is contemplated in relation to 

this action. If the EPA receives adverse 

comments, the direct final rule will be 

withdrawn and all public comments 

received will be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed action. The EPA will not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.
