was proposed in the Federal Register on 

July 23, 2014, and concerns seven Clark 

County permitting related rules 

submitted by Nevada Division of 

Environmental Protection (NDEP). Final 

approval of these rules makes these 

rules federally enforceable and corrects 

program deficiencies identified in 

previous EPA rulemaking. 

DATES: These rules will be effective on 

November 17, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket 

number EPA–R09–OAR–2014–0495 for

I. Proposed Action 

On July 23, 2014 (79 FR 42752), EPA 

proposed to approve the following rules 

into the Clark portion of the Nevada SIP.

3/18/14 4/1/14 

12.7 (Subsection 12.7.5) .......... Emission Reduction Credits .............................................................................. 5/18/10 4/1/14 

We proposed to approve these rules 

because we determined that they 

address deficiencies identified in a 

previous action (77 FR 64039, October 

18, 2012), and complied with the 

relevant CAA requirements. On July 23, 

2014, we simultaneously proposed to 

remove several outdated regulations 

from the SIP as listed below. 

TABLE 2—RULES REQUESTED TO RESCIND

Section No. Section title Repealed Submitted 

1 ................... Definitions ...................................................................................................................................... 3/18/14 4/01/14 

11 ................. Ambient Air Quality Standards ...................................................................................................... 4/05/11 4/01/14 

24 ................. Sampling and Testing—Records and Reports ............................................................................. 3/16/10 4/01/14 

We have reconsidered our proposed 

rescission of all of the remaining 

defined terms in section 1 

(‘‘Definitions’’) and are taking final 

action to rescind all of them with the 

exception of certain defined terms that 

are necessary to retain because they are 

relied upon in certain Clark County 

rules in the existing SIP. The terms in 

section 1 for which we are deferring 

final rescission action at this time, and 

the corresponding Clark County SIP rule 

that relies on the term, are as follows: 

‘‘affected facility’’ (SIP section 23), 

‘‘dust’’ (SIP section 27), ‘‘existing 

gasoline station’’ (SIP section 52), 

‘‘fumes’’ (SIP section 27), ‘‘mist’’ (SIP 

section 1 definition of ‘‘uncombined 

water’’), ‘‘new gasoline station’’ (SIP 

section 52), ‘‘new source’’ (SIP section 

26), ‘‘single source’’ (SIP section 26), 

‘‘standard conditions’’ (SIP section 30), 

and ‘‘uncombined water’’ (SIP section 

26). 

Our proposed action and the 

associated Technical Support Document 

(TSD) contains more information on the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 201 / Friday, October 17, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 62351 

1As noted above, we are deferring final rescission 

action on ‘‘affected facility’’, ‘‘dust’’, ‘‘existing 

gasoline station’’, ‘‘fumes’’, ‘‘mist’’, ‘‘new gasoline station’’, ‘‘new source’’, ‘‘single source’’, ‘‘standard 

conditions’’, and ‘‘uncombined water’’. 

basis for this rulemaking and on our 

evaluation of the submitted rules and 

rule rescissions. 

II. Public Comments and EPA 

Responses 

EPA’s proposed action provided a 30- 

day public comment period. During this 

period, we received no comments. 

III. EPA Action 

No comments were submitted. 

Therefore, as authorized in section 

110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully 

approving these rules and rule 

rescissions 1 as revisions to the Clark 

County portion of the Nevada SIP. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, 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, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this action merely 

approves State law as meeting Federal 

requirements, in part, and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by State law. For that 

reason, this final 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, and legally permissible 

methods under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this final rule 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. 

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 December 16, 

2014. 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)).

Region 5] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

Amendments to Gasoline Vapor 

Recovery Requirements for Illinois 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving a state 

implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the Illinois Environmental 

Protection Agency (IEPA) on January 17, 

2014, concerning the state’s gasoline 

vapor recovery requirements. The 

revision phases out the Stage II vapor 

recovery (Stage II) program 

requirements in the Illinois portion of 

the Chicago ozone nonattainment area 

(NAA) as a component of the Illinois 

ozone SIP. The SIP revision also 

includes amendments to the state’s 

permitting regulations applicable to 

storage tanks and fuel dispensing, 

including repealing the Stage I vapor 

recovery (Stage I) registration provisions 

due to overlapping Federal notification 

requirements and state tracking systems 

for gasoline dispensing operations. 

Finally, the SIP revision includes other 

clarifying and clean-up amendments at 

35 Ill. Adm. Code Parts 201, 218, and 

219. The submittal also includes a 

demonstration under section 110(l) of 

the Clean Air Act (CAA) that shows 

there are no emissions impacts 

associated with the removal of the 

program. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

December 16, 2014, unless EPA receives 

adverse comments by November 17, 

2014. If adverse comments are received, 

EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of 

the direct final rule in the Federal 

Register informing the public that the 

rule will not take effect.
