A. On January 16, 2009 the State of Montana submitted formal revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) (hereafter, the ‘‘ 2008 SIP revisions ’’ ). The 2008 SIP revisions contain amendments to the following sections of the Administrative Rules of Montana (ARM): 17.8.102, 17.8.301, 17.8.901, and
17.8.1007.

B. On May 4, 2009 the State of Montana submitted formal revisions to its State Implementation Plan (SIP) (hereafter, the ‘‘ 2009 SIP revisions ’’ ). The 2009 SIP revisions contain amendments to the following sections of the ARM: 17.8.308 and 17.8.744.

III. EPA’s Review of the State of Montana’s January 16, 2009 and May 4, 2009 Submittals

A. 2008 SIP Revisions

The 2008 SIP revisions are strictly administrative; they make minor editorial and grammatical changes, and update the citations and references to Federal laws and regulations. All of the revisions are approvable. Therefore, in this action we are approving ARM sections 17.8.102, 17.8.301, 17.8.901, and 17.8.1007.

B. 2009 SIP Revisions

Revision to ARM section 17.8.308 clarifies the agricultural sources of airborne particulate matter which are exempt from control measure provisions. The purpose of the revision is to align the ARM with language of the legislation upon which the regulation is based. The ARM as revised meets the requirement of the CAA section 110(l) and does not interfere with any applicable requirements concerning attainment. The revision adds definition to and as a result reduces the number of sources of airborne particulate matter which are exempt from emissions controls under provisions of the ARM. This provision is approvable.

The revision to ARM section 17.8.744 references the State’s air quality permitting program. The State has several provisions pending relative to the State’s air quality permitting program and these will be processed as one action at a later date.

IV. Final Action

The EPA is approving the 2008 revisions to ARM sections 17.8.102, 17.8.301, 17.8.901, and 17.8.1007 that the State submitted on January 16, 2009. The Montana Board of Environmental Review adopted these revisions on October 3, 2008 and they became effective on October 24, 2008.

The EPA is approving the 2009 revision to ARM section 17.8.308. The EPA is not taking action on the 2009 revision to ARM sections 17.8.744 and will take action at a later date. The Montana Board of Environmental Review adopted these revisions on January 23, 2009 and they became effective on February 13, 2009.

EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no adverse comments; we are merely approving administrative and other minor changes to Montana’s air rules. However, in the

‘‘Proposed Rules ’’ section of today’s Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revisions if adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective March 30, 2010 without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by March 1, 2010. If the EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the


### 4700 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 19 / Friday, January 29, 2010 / Rules and Regulations

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse
comment. V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘ significant regulatory action’’ and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq. ). Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under State law and 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 in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4).

This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a State rule implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045

‘‘Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks ’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it approves a State rule implementing a Federal standard.

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve State choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the 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 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 rule 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 March 30, 2010. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules section of today’s Federal Register, rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52
