SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

History 

The FAA published a final rule in the 

Federal Register (83 FR 26839, June 11, 

2018) for Doc. No. FAA–2017–0755, 

amending Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet or more above the 

surface at Mid-State Airport, 

Philipsburg, PA. Subsequent to 

publication, the FAA found that in the 

legal description describing the Class E 

airspace area extending upward from 

700 feet above the surface, the word 

‘side’ was omitted from the text 3.1 

miles each side of the Philipsburg 

VORTAC 067° radial. This action 

corrects the error. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in paragraph 6005, of FAA 

Order 7400.11B dated August 3, 2017, 

and effective September 15, 2017, which 

is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

part 71.1. The Class E airspace 

designations listed in this document 

will be published subsequently in the 

Order.

the 2012 Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) 

Standard for Colorado, Montana, North 

Dakota, South Dakota and Wyoming 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving portions of 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submissions from Colorado, Montana, 

North Dakota, South Dakota and 

Wyoming addressing the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act) interstate transport SIP 

requirements for the 2012 annual Fine 

Particulate Matter (PM2.5) National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS). These submissions address 

the requirement that each SIP contain 

adequate provisions prohibiting air 

emissions that will have certain adverse 

air quality effects in other states. The 

EPA is approving portions of these 

infrastructure SIPs for the 

aforementioned states as containing 

adequate provisions to ensure that air 

emissions in the states will not 

significantly contribute to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2012 annual PM2.5

NAAQS in any other state. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

6, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. 

I. Background 

On May 9, 2018, the EPA proposed to 

approve submittals from Colorado, 

Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota 

and Wyoming as meeting the interstate 

transport requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2012 PM2.5

NAAQS (83 FR 21226). An explanation 

of the CAA requirements, a detailed 

analysis of the states’ submittals, and 

the EPA’s rationale for approval of each 

submittal were all provided in the 

notice of proposed rulemaking and 

associated technical support documents, 

and will not be restated here. The public 

comment period for this proposed rule 

ended on June 8, 2018. The EPA 

received four anonymous comments on 

the proposal. 

II. Response to Comments 

After reviewing the comments 

received, the EPA has determined that 

the comments fall outside the scope of 

our proposed action or fail to identify 

any material issue necessitating a 

response. 

III. Final Action 

The EPA is approving the following 

submittals as meeting the interstate 

transport requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) for the 2012 PM2.5

Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 129 / Thursday, July 5, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 31329 

NAAQS: Colorado’s December 1, 2015 

submittal; Montana’s December 17, 2015 

submittal; North Dakota’s August 23, 

2015 submittal; South Dakota’s January 

25, 2016 submittal; and Wyoming’s June 

24, 2016 submittal. This action is being 

taken under section 110 of the CAA. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves state law as meeting 

Federal requirements and do 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); 

• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 

FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory 

action because SIP approvals are 

exempted under Executive Order 12866; 

• 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, 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 CAA; 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, these SIPs are 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 September 4, 

2018. 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).)

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Federal Clean 

Air Act (CAA or the Act), the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

is approving portions of Oklahoma’s 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submittal, that addresses a CAA 

requirement that SIPs account for 

potential interstate transport of air 

pollution that significantly contributes 

to nonattainment or interferes with 

maintenance of the 2012 fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS) in other 

states. EPA finds that emissions from 

Oklahoma sources do not contribute 

significantly to nonattainment in, or 

interfere with maintenance by, any 

other state with regard to the 2012 PM2.5

NAAQS. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. 

I. Background 

The background for this action is 

discussed in detail in our May 18, 2018 

proposal (83 FR 23244). In that 

document we proposed to approve 

portions of Oklahoma’s SIP submittal, 

that addresses a CAA requirement that 

SIPs account for potential interstate 

transport of air pollution that 

significantly contributes to 

nonattainment or interferes with 

maintenance of the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS 

in other states. We proposed to 

determine that emissions from 

Oklahoma sources do not contribute 

significantly to nonattainment in, or 

interfere with maintenance by, any 

other state with regard to the 2012 PM2.5

NAAQS. 

We received three anonymous public 

comments on the proposed rulemaking 

action. The comments are posted to the 

docket (EPA–R06–OAR–2017–0052). In 

the first comment, received on May 19, 

2018, the commenter makes a comment 

regarding the President and his recent 

allegations against the FBI. Such 

comment is irrelevant and is outside the 

scope of this specific rule making 

action. In the second comment, received 

May 20, 2018, the commenter raised 

concerns regarding the validity of the 

UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate 

Change and governments’ reliance on 

the panel’s recommendations. Such 

comment is irrelevant and is outside the 

scope of this specific rule making 

action. In the third and final comment, 

received on June 3, 2018, the 

commenter raised concerns and doubts 

about the effectiveness of environmental 

regulations. Such comment is irrelevant 

and is outside the scope of this specific 

rule making action. 

II. Final Action 

We are approving the portions of the 

December 19, 2016 Oklahoma SIP 

revision pertaining to emissions that 

significantly contribute to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS 

in other states. We find that emissions 

from Oklahoma sources do not 

contribute significantly to 

nonattainment in, or interfere with 

maintenance by, any other state with 

regard to the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, 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

provided that they meet the criteria of
