$6.9 million be included in the ERO 

budget for its reliability coordinator 

activities. NERC and WECC will be 

asked to provide details about WECC’s 

funding request and WECC’s reliability 

coordination function. The details they

not limited to: information about 

WECC’s reliability coordinators’

independence from users, owners and 

operators of the Bulk-Power System; 

details of ERO oversight; issues related 

to enforcement and non-compliance;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

(A) Background and Discussion 

Section 209(a) of the Clean Air Act, as 

amended (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7543(a), 

provides: 

No State or any political subdivision 

thereof shall adopt or attempt to enforce any 

standard relating to the control of emissions 

from new motor vehicles or new motor 

vehicle engines subject to this part. No state 

shall require certification, inspection or any 

other approval relating to the control of 

emissions from any new motor vehicle or 

new motor vehicle engine as condition 

precedent to the initial retail sale, titling (if 

any), or registration of such motor vehicle, 

motor vehicle engine, or equipment. 

Section 209(b) of the Act requires the 

Administrator, after notice and 

opportunity for public hearing, to waive 

application of the prohibitions of 

section 209(a) for any state that has 

adopted standards (other than crankcase 

emission standards) for the control of 

emissions from new motor vehicles or 

new motor vehicle engines prior to 

March 30, 1966, if the state determines 

that the state standards will be, in the 

aggregate, at least as protective of public 

health and welfare as applicable federal 

standards. California is the only state 

that is qualified to seek and receive a 

waiver under section 209(b). The 

Administrator must grant a waiver 

unless he finds that (A) the 

determination of the state is arbitrary 

and capricious, (B) the state does not 

need the standards to meet compelling 

and extraordinary conditions, or (C) the 

state standards and accompanying 

enforcement procedures are not 

consistent with section 202(a) of the 

Act. 

CARB’s September 22, 2006, letter to 

the Administrator notified EPA that it 

had formally adopted Malfunction and 

Diagnostic System Requirements for 

2010 and Subsequent Model-Year 

Heavy-Duty Engines (also known as OnVerDate Aug<31>2005 15:22 Feb 26, 2007 Jkt 211001 PO 00000 Frm 00050 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM 27FEN1

Board Diagnostics or OBD) on December 

28, 2005. This regulation can be found 

at title 13, California Code of 

Regulations (CCR), section 1971.1. 

Please provide comment as to 

whether (a) California’s determination 

that its regulations as referenced in its 

September 22, 2006, request letter, are at 

least as protective of public health and 

welfare as applicable federal standards 

is arbitrary and capricious, (b) California 

needs separate standards to meet 

compelling and extraordinary 

conditions, and (c) California’s 

standards and accompanying 

enforcement procedures are consistent 

with section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act. 

Procedures for Public Participation: 

In recognition that public hearings are 

designed to give interested parties an 

opportunity to participate in this 

proceeding, there are no adverse parties 

as such. Statements by participants will 

not be subject to cross-examination by 

other participants without special 

approval by the presiding officer. The 

presiding officer is authorized to strike 

from the record statements that he or 

she deems irrelevant or repetitious and 

to impose reasonable time limits on the 

duration of the statement of any 

participant. 

If a hearing is held, the Agency will 

make a verbatim record of the 

proceedings. Interested parties may 

arrange with the reporter at the 

hearing(s) to obtain a copy of the 

transcript at their own expense. 

Regardless of whether a public hearing 

is held, EPA will keep the record open 

until May 8, 2007. Upon expiration of 

the comment period, the Administrator 

will render a decision on CARB’s 

request based on the record of the 

public hearing(s), if any, relevant 

written submissions, and other 

information that he deems pertinent. All 

information will be available for 

inspection at EPA Air Docket. (EPA–

HQ–OAR–2006–0844) and in the 

edocket as noted above. 

Persons with comments containing 

proprietary information must 

distinguish such information from other 

comments to the greatest possible extent 

and label it as ‘‘Confidential Business 

Information’’ (CBI). If a person making 

comments wants EPA to base its 

decision in part on a submission labeled 

CBI, then a nonconfidential version of 

the document that summarizes the key 

data or information should be submitted 

for the public docket. To ensure that 

proprietary information is not 

inadvertently placed in the docket, 

submissions containing such 

information should be sent directly to 

the contact person listed above and not 

to the public docket. Information 

covered by a claim of confidentiality 

will be disclosed by EPA only to the 

extent allowed and by the procedures 

set forth in 40 CFR Part 2. If no claim 

of confidentiality accompanies the 

submission when EPA receives it, EPA 

will make it available to the public 

without further notice to the person 

making comments. 

Dated: February 21, 2007.

and Radiation.
