-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is revising the format of 40 CFR part 52 for materials 
submitted by the State of North Dakota that are incorporated by 
reference (IBR) into its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
regulations affected by this format change have all been previously 
submitted by North Dakota and approved by EPA.

DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective March 1, 2007.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 52 are available for inspection Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. 
to 4 p.m., excluding Federal holidays, at the Air and Radiation 
Program, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop 
Street, Denver, Colorado 80202-1129. EPA requests that, if at all 
possible, you contact the individual listed in the FOR FURTHER

I. Change in IBR Format

    This format revision will affect the ``Identification of plan'' 
section of 40 CFR part 52, as well as the format of the SIP materials 
that will be available for public inspection at the National Archives 
and Records Administration (NARA); the Air and Radiation Docket and 
Information Center located at EPA

[[Page 9264]]

Headquarters in Washington, DC, and the EPA Region 8 Office.

A. Description of a SIP

    Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies 
used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards 
(NAAQS) and achieve certain other Clean Air Act (Act) requirements 
(e.g., visibility requirements, prevention of significant 
deterioration). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air 
pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring network 
descriptions, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.

B. How EPA Enforces the SIP

    Each SIP revision submitted by North Dakota must be adopted at the 
state level after undergoing reasonable notice and public hearing. SIPs 
submitted to EPA to attain or maintain the NAAQS must include 
enforceable emission limitations and other control measures, schedules 
and timetables for compliance.
    EPA evaluates submitted SIPs to determine if they meet the Act's 
requirements. If a SIP meets the Act's requirements, EPA will approve 
the SIP. EPA's notice of approval is published in the Federal Register 
and the approval is then codified in the Code of Federal Regulations 
(CFR) at 40 CFR part 52. Once EPA approves a SIP, it is enforceable by 
EPA and citizens in Federal district court.
    We do not reproduce in 40 CFR part 52 the full text of the North 
Dakota regulations that we have approved; instead, we incorporate them 
by reference (``IBR''). We approve a given state regulation with a 
specific effective date and then refer the public to the location(s) of 
the full text version of the state regulation(s) should they want to 
know which measures are contained in a given SIP (see ``I.F. Where You 
Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation'').

C. How the State and EPA Update the SIP

    The SIP is a living document which the state can revise as 
necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state. 
Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions 
containing new and/or revised regulations.
    On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA announced revised procedures for 
incorporating by reference federally approved SIPs. The procedures 
announced included: (1) A new process for incorporating by reference 
material submitted by states into compilations and a process for 
updating those compilations on roughly an annual basis; (2) a revised 
mechanism for announcing EPA approval of revisions to an applicable SIP 
and updating both the compilations and the CFR; and (3) a revised 
format for the ``Identification of plan'' sections for each applicable 
subpart to reflect these revised IBR procedures.

D. How EPA Compiles the SIP

    We have organized into a compilation the federally-approved 
regulations, source-specific requirements and nonregulatory provisions 
we have approved into the SIP. We maintain hard copies of the 
compilation in binders and we primarily update these binders on an 
annual basis.

E. How EPA Organizes the SIP Compilation

    Each compilation contains three parts. Part one contains the state 
regulations, part two contains the source-specific requirements that 
have been approved as part of the SIP (if any), and part three contains 
nonregulatory provisions that we have approved. Each compilation 
contains a table of identifying information for each regulation, each 
source-specific requirement, and each nonregulatory provision. The 
state effective dates in the tables indicate the date of the most 
recent revision to a particular regulation. The table of identifying 
information in the compilation corresponds to the table of contents 
published in 40 CFR part 52 for the state. The EPA Regional Offices 
have the primary responsibility for ensuring accuracy and updating the 
compilations.

F. Where You Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation

    EPA Region 8 developed and will maintain a hard copy of the 
compilation for North Dakota. An electronic copy of the North Dakota 
regulations we have approved are available on the following Web site: 
http://www.epa.gov/region8/air/sip.html. A hard copy of the regulatory 
and source-specific portions of the compilation will also be maintained 
at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, EPA West 
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460; 
and National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). If you wish to 
obtain materials from a docket in the EPA Headquarters Library, please 
call the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Docket/Telephone number 
(202) 566-1742. For information on the availability of this material at 
NARA, call (202) 741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

G. The Format of the New Identification of Plan Section

    In order to better serve the public, EPA has revised the 
organization of the ``Identification of plan'' section in 40 CFR part 
52 and included additional information to clarify the elements of the 
SIP.
    The revised Identification of plan section for North Dakota 
contains five subsections:
    1. Purpose and scope (see 40 CFR 52.1820(a));
    2. Incorporation by reference (see 40 CFR 52.1820(b));
    3. EPA-approved regulations (see 40 CFR 52.1820(c));
    4. EPA-approved source-specific requirements (see 40 CFR 
52.1820(d)); and
    5. EPA-approved nonregulatory provisions such as transportation 
control measures, statutory provisions, control strategies, monitoring 
networks, etc. (see 40 CFR 52.1820(e)).

H. When a SIP Revision Becomes Federally Enforceable

    All revisions to the applicable SIP are Federally enforceable as of 
the effective date of EPA's approval of the respective revisions. In 
general, SIP revisions become effective 30 to 60 days after publication 
of EPA's SIP approval action in the Federal Register. In specific 
cases, a SIP revision action may become effective less than 30 days or 
greater than 60 days after the Federal Register publication date. In 
order to determine the effective date of EPA's approval for a specific 
North Dakota SIP provision that is listed in paragraph 40 CFR 52.1820 
(c), (d), or (e), consult the volume and page of the Federal Register 
cited in the ``EPA approval date'' column of 40 CFR 52.1820 for that 
particular provision.

I. The Historical Record of SIP Revision Approvals

    To facilitate enforcement of previously approved SIP provisions and 
to provide a smooth transition to the new SIP processing system, we are 
retaining the original Identification of plan section (see 40 CFR 
52.1837). This section previously appeared at 40 CFR 52.1820. After an 
initial two-year period, we will review our experience with the new 
table format and will decide whether or not to retain the original 
Identification of plan section (40 CFR 52.1837) for some further 
period.

[[Page 9265]]

II. What EPA Is Doing in This Action

    Today's action constitutes a ``housekeeping'' exercise to reformat 
the codification of the EPA-approved North Dakota SIP.

III. Good Cause Exemption

    EPA has determined that today's action falls under the ``good 
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon a finding of ``good cause,'' authorizes 
agencies to dispense with public participation, and section 553(d)(3), 
which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby 
avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in 
the APA). Today's action simply reformats the codification of 
provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law.
    Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where 
procedures are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public 
interest.'' Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the 
public interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law. 
Likewise, there is no purpose served by delaying the effective date of 
this action.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Review

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is 
not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations 
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action 
under Executive Order 12866. Because the agency has made a ``good 
cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment 
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other 
statute as indicated in the Supplementary Information section above, it 
is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the 
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C 601 et seq.), or to sections 202 
and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 
104-4). In addition, this action does not significantly or uniquely 
affect small governments or impose a significant intergovernmental 
mandate, as described in sections 203 and 204 of UMRA. This rule also 
does 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), nor will it 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 rule also 
is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), 
because it is not economically significant. This rule does not involve 
technical standards; 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. The rule also does not involve special 
consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this 
rule, EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors 
and ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal 
standard for affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive 
Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with 
Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the 
takings implications of the rule in accordance with the ``Attorney 
General's Supplemental Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk and 
Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued under the executive order. 
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). EPA's 
compliance with these statutes and Executive Orders for the underlying 
rules is discussed in previous actions taken on the State's rules.

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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. Section 808 allows the issuing agency to 
make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if the 
agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure is 
impracticable, unnecessary or contrary to the public interest. Today's 
action simply reformats the codification of provisions which are 
already in effect as a matter of law. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated 
previously, EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the 
reasons therefore, and established an effective date of March 1, 2007. 
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. These corrections to the 
Identification of plan for South Dakota is not a ``major rule'' as 
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    EPA has also determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of 
the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not 
applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each 
individual component of the North Dakota SIP compilation had previously 
afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for 
judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the 
appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA 
sees no need to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for 
judicial review for this reorganization of the ``Identification of 
plan'' section of 40 CFR 52.1820 for North Dakota.
