SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

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

EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section is arranged as follows: 

I. What action is EPA taking? 

II. What are the effects of this action? 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is making the final determination 

that three Ohio nonattainment areas (the 

Cleveland-Akron, the Columbus, and 

the Dayton-Springfield areas) and one 

Ohio-West Virginia bi-state area (the 

Steubenville-Weirton area) have 

attained the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. 

EPA’s determination is based upon the 

most recent three years of complete, 

quality-assured, quality-controlled, and 

certified ambient air monitoring data for 

the Areas showing that they have 

monitored attainment of the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 

2007–2009 data as well as the 2008– 

2010 data (see Table 1). EPA is also 

making the final determination, in 

accordance with EPA’s PM2.5

Implementation Rule of April 25, 2007 

(72 FR 20664), that the Areas have 

attained the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS 

by their applicable attainment date of 

April 5, 2010. 

EPA published in the Federal 

Register its proposed determination for 

the four nonattainment Areas on May 

17, 2011 (76 FR 28393). A detailed 

discussion of the rationale for the 

determination, and the effect of the 

determination, was included in the 

proposal. EPA received no comments on 

the proposed rule.

II. What are the effects of this action? 

EPA’s determination of attainment, 

based on the most recent three years of 

quality-assured, quality-controlled, and 

certified ambient air monitoring data 

suspends the requirements for the 

Cleveland-Akron, Columbus, DaytonSpringfield, and Steubenville-Weirton 

PM2.5 nonattainment areas from 

submitting attainment demonstrations, 

RACM (including RACT), RFP plans, 

contingency measures, and other 

planning SIP revisions related to 

attainment of the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS for so long as the Areas 

continue to attain the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS. 

Specifically, the determination of 

attainment for the Cleveland-Akron, 

Columbus, Dayton-Springfield, and 

Steubenville-Weirton PM2.5

nonattainment areas (1) Suspend the 

states’ obligation for Ohio and West 

Virginia to submit the requirements 

listed above; (2) continue such 

suspension until such time, if any, that 

EPA subsequently determines that any 

monitor in the area has violated the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS; and (3) be 

separate from any future designation 

determination or requirements for the 

Cleveland-Akron, Columbus, DaytonSpringfield, and Steubenville-Weirton 

PM2.5 nonattainment areas based on the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS or future PM2.5

NAAQ revision. 

Finalizing this action does not 

constitute a redesignation of the Areas 

to attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS under CAA section 107(d)(3). 

Further, finalizing this action does not 

involve approving maintenance plans 

for the Areas, nor does it involve a 

determination that the Cleveland-Akron, 

Columbus, Dayton-Springfield, and 

Steubenville-Weirton PM2.5

nonattainment areas have met all the 

requirements for redesignation under 

the CAA. Therefore, the designation 

status of the portions of the ClevelandAkron, Columbus, Dayton-Springfield, 

and Steubenville-Weirton PM2.5

nonattainment areas will remain 

nonattainment for the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS until such time as EPA 

takes final rulemaking action to 

determine that such portions meet the 

CAA requirements for redesignation to 

attainment. 

In addition, EPA is finalizing a 

separate and independent determination 

that these Areas have attained the 1997 

annual PM2.5 standard by the applicable 

attainment date (April 5, 2010), thereby 

satisfying EPA’s requirement pursuant 

to section 179(c)(1) of the CAA to make 

a determination of whether the Areas 

attained the standard by the applicable 

attainment date. 

This action described above makes 

determinations regarding the ClevelandAkron, Columbus, Dayton-Springfield, 

and Steubenville-Weirton areas’ 

attainment only with respect to the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. Today’s action 

does not address the 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action makes determinations of 

attainment based on air quality, and will 

result in the suspension of certain 

Federal requirements, and will not 

impose additional requirements beyond 


tkelley on DSKG8SOYB1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 178 / Wednesday, September 14, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 56643 

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 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, 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, this 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 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 14, 2011. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action 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).)
