state of Maine, except any sources of air

pollution over which an Indian Tribe

has jurisdiction. See, e.g., 59 FR 55813,

55815–18 (Nov. 9, 1994). The term

‘‘Indian Tribe’’ is defined under the Act

as ‘‘any Indian tribe, band, nation, or

other organized group or community,

including any Alaska Native village,

which is Federally recognized as

eligible for the special programs and

services provided by the United States

to Indians because of their status as

Indians.’’ See section 302(r) of the CAA;

see also 59 FR 43956, 43962 (Aug. 25,

1994); 58 FR 54364 (Oct. 21, 1993). EPA

is not taking any position in this action

on whether any Federally recognized

tribe in Maine has jurisdiction over

sources of air pollution.

The EPA is proposing to add a sixth

condition to Maine’s source categorylimited interim approval of the

operating permits program submitted by

Maine on October 24, 1995. If

promulgated, the State must make, in

addition to the five conditions stated in

the final rules section of today’s Federal

Register, the following change in its rule

to receive full approval:

1. Maine must remove the following

activities from Appendix B of Chapter

140 of the State’s rules: (1) Paper

forming; (2) vacuum system exhaust; (3)

liquor clarifier and storage tanks and

associated pumping, piping, and

handling; (4) stock cleaning and

pressurized pulp washing; (5) broke

beaters, repulpers, pulp and repulping

tanks, stock chests and bulk pulp

handling; and (6) sewer manholes,

junction boxes, sumps and lift stations

associated with wastewater treatment

systems.

III. Administrative Requirements

A. Request for Public Comments

The EPA is requesting comments on

this additional proposed interim

approval condition. Copies of the State’s

submittal and other information relied

upon for the proposed interim approval

are contained in a docket maintained at

the EPA Regional Office. The docket is

an organized and complete file of all the

information submitted to, or otherwise

considered by, EPA in the development

of this proposed interim approval. The

principal purposes of the docket are:

(1) To allow interested parties a

means to identify and locate documents

so that they can effectively participate

in the approval process, and

(2) To serve as the administrative

record in the event of judicial review.

The EPA will consider any comments

received by March 24, 1997.

B. Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this action from Executive

Order 12866 review.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The EPA’s actions under section 502

of the Act do not create any new

requirements, but simply address

operating permits programs submitted

to satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR

part 70. Because this action does not

impose any new requirements, it does

not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

D. 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 the private sector, of

$100 million or more. Under section

205, EPA must select the most costeffective 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 action

promulgated today 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 preexisting 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. Additionally, it will not cost

$100 million to operate or comply with

this program.
