[EPA–R06–OAR–2014–0821; FRL–9950–18– 

Region 6] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Louisiana; 

Revisions to the New Source Review 

State Implementation Plan; Air Permit 

Procedure Revisions 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving portions of 

revisions to the Louisiana New Source 

Review (NSR) State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) submitted by the Louisiana 

Department of Environmental Quality. 

These revisions to the Louisiana SIP 

provide updates to the minor NSR and 

nonattainment new source review 

(NNSR) permit programs in Louisiana 

contained within the Chapter 5 Permit 

Procedures and Chapter 6 Regulations 

on Control of Emissions through the Use 

of Emission Reduction Credits (ERC) 

Banking rules. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

September 6, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R06–OAR–2014–0821. All 

documents in the docket are listed on 

the http://www.regulations.gov Web

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document wherever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. 

I. Background 

The background for this action is 

discussed in detail in our April 20, 

2016, proposal (81 FR 23232). In that 

document, we proposed to approve 

portions of ten SIP submittals for the 

State of Louisiana. These amendments 

enhance the SIP by (1) defining 

insignificant activities that will not 

require permitting; (2) correcting 

contradictory language in the 

insignificant activities list; (3) providing 

edits to the Permit Procedure Rule as 

requested by the EPA; (4) including 

procedures for incorporating test results; 

(5) unifying and streamlining name and 

ownership changes for all media; and 

(6) revising references to various LDEQ 

divisions. This action is being taken 

under section 110 of the Act. We did not 

receive any comments regarding our 

proposal although the LDEQ did send a 

letter to the EPA on July 14, 2016, to 

update information on sections 525, 

527, and 529. 

II. Final Action 

We are approving the revisions to the 

Louisiana SIP as proposed in our April 

20, 2016, proposal (81 FR 23232), with 

the exception of sections 525, 527, and 

529, as discussed below. This includes 

SIP submittals from the State of 

Louisiana submitted on November 15, 

1993, November 10, 1994, July 25, 1997, 

June 22, 1998, June 27, 2003, May 5, 

2006, November 9, 2007, August 14, 

2009, August 29, 2013, and November 3, 

2014. These revisions provide clarity to 

the rules, correct contradictory 

language, update permit application and 

fee requirements, revise the rules to 

conform to the latest Louisiana laws, 

and add to the ‘‘Insignificant Activities 

List’’. We approve the revisions to the 

SIP that meet CAA requirements. 

Specifically, we are approving revisions 

to the Louisiana SIP pertaining to the 

following sections: 

• LAC 33:III.501 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, November 10, 1994, 

June 22, 1998, June 27, 2003, May 5, 

2006, November 9, 2007, August 14, 

2009; and November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.502 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, and November 3, 

2014; 

• LAC 33:III.503 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, and November 3, 

2014; 

• LAC 33:III.504 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.511 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993; 

• LAC 33:III.513 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, and November 9, 

2007; 

• LAC 33:III.515 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993; 

• LAC 33:III.517 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, November 10, 1994, 

July 25, 1997, June 22, 1998, and May 

5, 2006; 

• LAC 33:III.519 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993; 

• LAC 33:III.521 as submitted on 

November 10, 1994, and May 5, 2006; 

• LAC 33:III.523 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, August 29, 2013, 

and November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.601 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.603 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.605 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.607 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; 

• LAC 33:III.615 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014; and 

• LAC 33:III.619 as submitted on 

November 3, 2014. 

The EPA is not taking final action as 

proposed on the Louisiana SIP at this 

time pertaining to the following sections 

based on LDEQ’s letter of July 14, 2016, 

which withdrew portions of sections 

525, 527, and 529 because they apply 

exclusively to part 70 sources. The letter 

specifically identified citations that are 

already approved into Louisiana’s 

Operating Permits program. EPA will 

take action on the portion of the 

citations in these sections that have not 

been withdrawn in a future action:

51342 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 150 / Thursday, August 4, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

• LAC 33:III.525 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993; 

• LAC 33:III.527 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993, and November 10, 

1994; and 

• LAC 33:III.529 as submitted on 

November 15, 1993. 

This action is being taken under 

section 110 of the Act. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, we are finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with the requirements of 1 

CFR 51.5, we are finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of the 

revisions to the Louisiana regulations as 

described in the Final Action section 

above. We have made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the EPA Region 6 office. 

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, the 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 and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

this action: 

• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, the SIP is not approved to 

apply on any Indian reservation land or 

in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 action 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 October 3, 2016. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this action for 

the purpose 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).)

SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BOARD 

49 CFR Part 1040 

[Docket No. EP 726] 

On-Time Performance Under Section 

213 of the Passenger Rail Investment 

and Improvement Act of 2008 

AGENCY: Surface Transportation Board. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Surface Transportation 

Board (STB or Board) is adopting a final 

rule to define ‘‘on time’’ and specify the 

formula for calculating ‘‘on-time 

performance’’ for purposes of Section 

213 of the Passenger Rail Investment 

and Improvement Act of 2008. The 

Board will use these regulations only for 

the purpose of determining whether the 

‘‘less than 80 percent’’ threshold that 

Congress set for bringing an on-time 

performance complaint has been met. In 

light of comments received on the 

Board’s notice of proposed rulemaking 

issued on December 28, 2015, the 

proposed rule has been modified to 

deem a train’s arrival at, or departure 

from, a given station ‘‘on time’’ if it 

occurs no later than 15 minutes after its 

scheduled time and to adopt an ‘‘allstations’’ calculation of ‘‘on-time 

performance.’’ 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

27, 2016.
