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

### 34643 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 124 / Friday, June 27, 1997 / Rules and Regulations

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).)

[General Docket No 96–113; FCC 97–164]

Section 257 Proceeding To Identify and Eliminate Market Entry Barriers for Small Businesses

AGENCY : Federal Communications
Commission.

ACTION : Policy statement.

SUMMARY : The attached Report
summarizes the Commission’s implementation of Section 257 of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (1996 Act), which requires the Commission to identify and eliminate market entry barriers for entrepreneurs and small businesses in the provision and ownership of telecommunications
services and information services or in the provision of parts or services to providers of telecommunications
services or information services. The Report addresses issues raised by the
more than 80 entities that filed comments, describes the Commission’s policies to foster small business opportunities in the telecommunications industry, and explains agency-wide small business
initiatives that the Commission has
undertaken since enactment of the 1996 Act, as well as steps that the
Commission intends to take in the future. The Report also describes the Commission’s comprehensive study of the participation of small businesses and businesses owned by women or
minorities in the telecommunications market. Through this Report the
