Correction of Implementation Plans;

American Samoa, Arizona, California,

Hawaii, and Nevada State

Implementation Plans

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the

promulgation of corrections to the

American Samoa State Implementation

Plan (SIP), the Arizona SIP, the

California SIP, the Hawaii SIP, and the

Nevada SIP. The proposed rule was

published in the Federal Register on

July 25, 1996. These corrections concern

the deletion from the SIPs of a variety

of administrative provisions concerning

variances, hearing board procedures,

and fees. The intended effect of

promulgating these corrections to the

SIPs is to delete the above referenced

rules and make the SIPs consistent with

the requirements of the Clean Air Act,

as amended in 1990 (CAA or ‘‘the Act’’),

regarding EPA action on SIP submittals

and SIPs for national primary and

secondary ambient air quality standards.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on

July 28, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the rules being

deleted are available for public

inspection at EPA’s Region IX office

during normal business hours. Copies of

the rules are also available for

inspection at the locations listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION under

‘‘Public inspection’’.

II. Applicability

The rules being deleted from the

American Samoa, Arizona, California,

Hawaii, and Nevada SIPs include

administrative provisions concerning

variances, hearing board procedures,

and fees. These rules were submitted by

the respective state agencies to EPA

prior to the Clean Air Act amendments

of 1990. The rules and statutes being

deleted from each SIP were listed in the

proposed rule published in the Federal

Register on July 25, 1996 (61 FR 38664).

III. Background

On July 25, 1996 in 61 FR 38664, EPA

proposed to delete various rules from

the American Samoa, Arizona,

California, Hawaii, and Nevada SIPs.

EPA has determined that the rules to be

deleted from the above-referenced SIPs

were erroneously incorporated into the

SIPs by EPA. In addition, the variance

provisions were rendered without legal

effect by amendments to the Clean Air

Act enacted by Congress in 1977. In

addition, the presence of these

provisions in the SIPs is potentially

confusing, and thus, harmful to the

regulated community, the states and

EPA.

IV. Response to Public Comments

A 30-day public comment period was

provided in 61 FR 38664. EPA received

three comments, one from the Arizona

Department of Environmental Quality

(ADEQ), the second from the Pinal

County Air Quality Control District

(PCAQCD) in Arizona, and the third

from the Mojave Desert Air Quality

Management District (MDAQMD) in

California.

Comment: The ADEQ commented that

they agreed that improvements must be

made to Arizona’s SIP, but they opposed

the proposed action because EPA failed

to coordinate with the State or the local

air pollution control agencies in

Arizona. The ADEQ also objected to the

piecemeal repeal of portions of the SIP.

Response: EPA has evaluated the

comment and agrees that it was an

oversight not to communicate this

action to each State and local agency

prior to its being published in the

Federal Register. While EPA has no

legal obligation to do so, such

communication is appropriate to

maintain good working relationships

between the State and Federal agencies.

EPA has since contacted the ADEQ and

apologized for not communicating its

intention to update the SIP and

explained that EPA is in the process of

evaluating other types of updates as

well. As a result, EPA is proceeding

with the deletion of these provisions

from the Arizona SIP.

Comment: The PCAQCD commented

that they endorse EPA’s proposed repeal

of parts of the Arizona SIP. In a previous

letter to EPA, the PCAQCD expressly

asked that the subject provisions be

deleted as SIP elements.

Response: EPA agrees with this

comment and is proceeding with the

deletion of these provisions from the

Arizona SIP.

Comment: The MDAQMD commented

that they support EPA’s action to delete

rules relating to variances from the SIP.

They noted some errors in the titles and

numbers of the rules proposed to be

deleted. The MDAQMD requested that

additional rules be deleted that were

originally submitted for the South Coast

Air Quality Management District

(SCAQMD). At one time the SCAQMD

included the Palo Verde/Blythe area of

Riverside County. Since the approval of

these rules into the SIP, the Palo Verde

Valley/Blythe area has been added to

the jurisdiction of the MDAQMD.

Response: While this comment was

received after the close of the comment

period, EPA believes it includes

important information that should be

considered in this rulemaking. EPA

agrees with the MDAQMD comment

that certain rules listed in the proposal

were numbered incorrectly and will

delete the rules as correctly numbered

by the MDAQMD. The SCAQMD rules

that pertain to the Palo Verde/Blythe

area of Riverside County cannot be

deleted in this final action because they

were not proposed for deletion in the

proposed rule published on July 25,

1996. EPA will evaluate these rules and

determine if they can be deleted in a

future action.

V. EPA Action

EPA has reviewed the rules

previously incorporated into the

American Samoa, Arizona, California,

Hawaii, and Nevada SIPs and has

determined that the rules were

approved in error. These rules include

administrative provisions regarding

variances, hearing board procedures,

and fee provisions. These rules were

listed in Table 1 in the proposed rule.

Therefore, EPA is deleting the rules

from these SIPs under section 110(k)(6)

of the Act, which gives EPA the

authority to revise existing SIPs by

removing rules without additional State

submission to correct an error.

Nothing in this action should be

construed as permitting or allowing or

establishing a precedent for any future

request for revision to any state

implementation plan. Each request for

revision to the state implementation

plan shall be considered separately in

light of specific technical, economic,

and environmental factors and in

relation to relevant statutory and

regulatory requirements.

VI. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

This action has been classified as a

Table 3 action for signature by the

Regional Administrator under the

procedures published in the Federal

Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR

2214–2225), as revised by a July 10,

1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols,

Assistant Administrator for Air and

Radiation. The Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this

regulatory action from E.O. 12866

review.

B. Regulatory Flexibility Act

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA must prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis

assessing the impact of any proposed or

final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603

and 604. Alternatively, EPA may certify
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 124 / Friday, June 27, 1997 / Rules and Regulations 34643

that the rule will not have a significant

impact on a substantial number of small

entities. Small entities include small

businesses, small not-for-profit

enterprises, and government entities

with jurisdiction over populations of

less than 50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and

subchapter I, part D of the Clean Air Act

do not create any new requirements but

simply approve requirements that the

State is already imposing. Therefore,

because the Federal SIP approval does

not impose any new requirements, the

Administrator certifies that it does not

have a significant impact on any small

entities affected. Moreover, due to the

nature of the Federal-State relationship

under the CAA, preparation of a

flexibility analysis would constitute

Federal inquiry into the economic

reasonableness of state action. The

Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base its

actions concerning SIPs on such

grounds. Union Electric Co. v. U.S. EPA,

427 U.S. 246, 255–66 (1976); 42 U.S.C.

7410(a)(2).

C. Unfunded Mandates

Under Section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(‘‘Unfunded Mandates Act’’), signed

into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must

prepare a budgetary impact statement to

accompany any proposed or final rule

that includes a Federal mandate that

may result in estimated costs to State,

local, or tribal governments in the

aggregate; or to private sector, of $100

million or more. Under section 205,

EPA must select the most cost-effective

and least burdensome alternative that

achieves the objectives of the rule and

is consistent with statutory

requirements. Section 203 requires EPA

to establish a plan for informing and

advising any small governments that

may be significantly or uniquely

impacted by the rule.

EPA has determined that the approval

action promulgated does not include a

Federal mandate that may result in

estimated costs of $100 million or more

to either State, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate, or to the

private sector. This Federal action

approves pre-existing requirements

under State or local law, and imposes

no new Federal requirements.

Accordingly, no additional costs to

State, local, or tribal governments, or to

the private sector, result from this

action.

D. Submission to Congress and the

General Accounting Office

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) of the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) as

amended by the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of

1996, EPA submitted 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 General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major’’ as defined by 804(2) of

the APA as amended.

E. Petitions for Judicial Review

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 August 26, 1997.

Filing a petition for reconsideration by

the Administrator of this final rule does

not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
