authority delegated by the Executive 

Director, Aircraft Certification Service, 

as authorized by FAA Order 8000.51C. 

In accordance with that order, issuance 

of ADs is normally a function of the 

Compliance and Airworthiness 

Division, but during this transition 

period, the Executive Director has 

delegated the authority to issue ADs 

applicable to engines, propellers, and 

associated appliances to the Manager, 

Engine and Propeller Standards Branch, 

Policy and Innovation Division. 

Regulatory Findings 

This AD will not have federalism 

implications under Executive Order 

13132. This AD will not have a 

substantial direct effect 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. 

For the reasons discussed above, I 

certify that this AD: 

(1) Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory 

action’’ under Executive Order 12866, 

(2) Is not a ‘‘significant rule’’ under 

DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures 

(44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979), 

(3) Will not affect intrastate aviation 

in Alaska, and 

(4) Will not have a significant 

economic impact, positive or negative, 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act.

Withdrawal for Designated Facilities 

and Pollutants 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving Ohio’s 

request for withdrawal of the previously 

approved Hospital/Medical/Infectious 

Waste Incinerator (HMIWI) State Plan. 

The Ohio Environmental Protection 

Agency (OEPA) submitted its HMIWI 

withdrawal on January 24, 2018, 

certifying that there is only one HMIWI 

unit currently operating in the state of 

Ohio and requesting that the Federal 

Plan apply to the single source in the 

State. The Federal HMIWI Plan will 

therefore apply in Ohio. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

August 27, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R05–OAR–2018–0113. All

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

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

EPA. This supplementary information 

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Background 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On January 24, 2018, OEPA submitted 

its HMIWI withdrawal, in which it 

certifies that there is only one HMIWI 

unit currently operating in Ohio. On 

January 18, 2013, OEPA confirmed that 

two of the four HMIWI units had shut 

down. Since that time an additional 

HMIWI unit has shut down. The only 

remaining HMIWI unit is at Stericycle, 

Inc, located in Warren, OH. Because 

there is only one source remaining in 

the State, OEPA is requesting that the 

previously approved State Plan be 

withdrawn and that the Federal Plan 

apply to the source. 

On April 3, 2018, EPA published a 

notice of proposed rulemaking (NPR) 

proposing approval of Ohio’s HMIWI 

withdrawal. The specific details of 

Ohio’s request and the rationale for 

EPA’s approval are discussed in the 

NPR and will not be restated here. EPA 

did not receive any comments on the 

proposed action. 

II. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving Ohio’s request for 

withdrawal of a previously approved 

State Plan and amending 40 CFR part 62 

to reflect OEPA’s withdrawal. OEPA 

submitted its HMIWI withdrawal on 

January 24, 2018 certifying that there is 

only one HMIWI unit, as defined under 

40 CFR 60.31e, currently operating in 

the state of Ohio and requested that the 

Federal Plan 40 CFR part 62, subpart 

HHH apply to the single source in the 

State. EPA understands that the 

extensive amendments that would be 

required by OEPA to revise Ohio’s 

previously approved State Plan to make 

it consistent with the revisions would 

be disproportionate to the single 

affected source in Ohio, and is 

proposing to approve the withdrawal 

and have the Federal Plan apply to the 

known affected source. In this action, 

EPA is finalizing its approval. EPA is 

also revising 40 CFR 62.8880 to reflect 

this withdrawal. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under the terms of 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and therefore is not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 

FR 3821, January 21, 2011). For this 

reason, this action is also not subject to 

Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action is not an 

Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, 

February 2, 2017) regulatory action 

because this action is not significant 

under E.O. 12866. This action merely 

approves state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and merely notifies the 

public of EPA approval for a withdrawal 

of a previously approved HMIWI State 

Plan. This action imposes no 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

the state. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). This rule 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). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not 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 action merely 

approves a withdrawal, and does not 

alter the relationship or the distribution 

of power and responsibilities 

established in the Clean Air Act. This 

rule also is not subject to Executive 

Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 

1997), because it approves a 

withdrawal. 

In reviewing section 111(d)/129 plan 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. With 

regard to withdrawals for designated 

facilities received by EPA from states, 

EPA’s role is to notify the public of the 

approval of the State’s withdrawal and 

revise 40 CFR part 62 accordingly. In 

this context, in the absence of a prior 

existing requirement for the State to use 

voluntary consensus standards (VCS), 

EPA has no authority to disapprove a 

section 111(d)/129 withdrawal for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a section 

111(d)/129 withdrawal, to use VCS in 

place of a section 111(d)/129 

withdrawal submission that otherwise 

satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air 

Act. 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. This 

rule does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

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 


sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
35424 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 144 / Thursday, July 26, 2018 / Rules and Regulations 

appropriate circuit by September 24, 

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).)

1,1-Difluoroethane; Exemption From 

the Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation amends an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance to allow for residues of 1,1- 

difluoroethane (CAS Reg. No. 75–37–6) 

when used as an inert ingredient 

(aerosol propellant) in bird repellent 

pesticide products applied to growing 

crops and raw agricultural commodities 

after harvest and to animals. Pyxis 

Regulatory Consulting, on behalf of 

Avian Enterprises Limited LLC, 

submitted a petition to EPA under the 

Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act 

(FFDCA), requesting an amendment to 

an existing requirement of a tolerance. 

This regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of 1,1-difluoroethane when 

used in accordance with the terms of the 

exemption. 

DATES: This regulation is effective July 

26, 2018. Objections and requests for 

hearings must be received on or before 

September 24, 2018, and must be filed 

in accordance with the instructions 

provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also
