Technical Correction

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is clarifying and

correcting the tables in the Code of

Federal Regulations that identify the

Agency’s designations and

classifications of nonattainment,

attainment, and unclassifiable areas for

criteria pollutants within the State of

Nevada. Specifically, EPA is clarifying

the tables for Nevada to indicate the

specific geographic areas that comprise

the attainment and unclassifiable areas

in the State and to reflect changes in the

Agency’s regulations implementing the

prevention of significant deterioration

program. EPA is also correcting the table

that shows the classification of the Las

Vegas Valley nonattainment area for the

National Ambient Air Quality Standard

for carbon monoxide.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective

on March 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Copies of documents

relevant to this action are available for

public inspection during normal

business hours at the Permits Office of

the Air Division, Environmental

Protection Agency, Region 9, 75

Hawthorne Street, San Francisco,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Throughout this document, wherever

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

the Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA).

This section contains additional

information about our final rulemaking,

organized as follows:

I. Clarification of the TSP, SO2, and NO2

tables.

II. Clarification of the PM10 table.

Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2002 / Rules and Regulations 12475

1 40 CFR 81.329 does not contain a table for lead.

The entire State of Nevada is in attainment with the

national ambient air quality standard for lead.

2The state also submitted recommendations for

carbon monoxide and oxidant (subsequently

replaced by ozone). Today’s action does not address

area designations in Nevada for either of these two

pollutants, with the exception of a correction in the

classification shown in 40 CFR 81.329 for Las Vegas

Valley as a carbon monoxide nonattainment area.

1Although EPA indicated that we would delete

the TSP designations in 40 CFR part 81 when EPA

approves a State’s revised PSD program containing

the PM10 increments, promulgates the PM10

increments into a State’s SIP where the State

chooses not to adopt the increments on their own,

or approves a State’s request for delegation of PSD

responsibility under 40 CFR 52.21(u) (See 58 FR

31622, 31635 (June 3, 1993)), we are not deleting

any section 81.329 TSP designations in today’s

action, because of the significance of the

designations to the implementation of the PSD

program for PM10. EPA believes this is a reasonable

approach given the confusion that has arisen in the

State of Nevada regarding implementation of the

PSD program for PM10.

III. Correction of the CO table.

IV. EPA’s final action.

V. Effective date of EPA’s final action.

I. Clarification of the TSP, SO2, and

NO2 Tables

EPA’s designations of nonattainment,

attainment, and unclassifiable areas

pursuant to section 107(d) of the Clean

Air Act are contained in part 81 of title

40 of the code of federal regulations (40

CFR part 81). Our designations for such

areas in the State of Nevada are located

in 40 CFR 81.329 and are presented

separately for each of the criteria

pollutants.1 All of the applicable tables

in 40 CFR 81.329 contain the term ‘‘rest

of state’’ or ‘‘entire state’’ to describe the

attainment or unclassifiable areas

within Nevada. We are aware that the

term ‘‘rest of state’’ or ‘‘entire state’’ in

these tables at 40 CFR 81.329 could be

misinterpreted as designating a single

attainment or unclassifiable area.

However, based on the regulatory

history summarized below, dating back

to our initial area designations in 1978,

the terms ‘‘rest of state’’ and ‘‘entire

state’’ in the applicable section 81.329

tables actually refer to more than 250

individual section 107(d) attainment or

unclassifiable areas.

In 1977, pursuant to section 107(d) of

the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977,

the State of Nevada submitted their

recommendations to EPA for

nonattainment, attainment and

unclassifiable areas for TSP (total

suspended particulate), SO2 (sulfur

dioxide), and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

within the State.2 Dated November 25,

1977, the State’s letter containing the

recommendations cites hydrographic

areas (delineated by the Nevada

Division of Water Resources) as the

geographic unit for such areas in

Nevada, specifically noting that, ‘‘the

name and definition of Nevada’s water

basins are now being utilized as the

reference unit for air basins.’’ The letter

with the State’s 1977 submission

indicated that there were 253 such air

basins in the State. A careful review of

the air basins listed in the

documentation provided with the 1977

letter indicates that the State had

identified 254 such areas. These areas

are referred to herein as ‘‘section 107(d)

areas.’’

In 1978, we designated section 107(d)

areas based on the State’s

recommendations (contained in the

November 1977 letter described above)

with certain modifications (that are not

relevant for the purposes of this action)

and codified these areas in 40 CFR part

81.329. See 43 FR 8962, 9012 (March 3,

1978). In our 1978 rule, we noted: ‘‘In

some instances, the descriptions of the

designated areas submitted by the States

were so lengthy as to prohibit their

publication in the limited space

available in the tables presented below.

Exact descriptions of all areas

designated are available at the

appropriate Regional Offices or the State

in question.’’ See 43 FR 8962, 8964

(March 3, 1978). Nevada was one of

those States which submitted a lengthy

description of section 107(d) areas. In

the tables published in the Federal

Register and codified in 40 CFR 81.329,

the short-hand notation ‘‘rest of state’’

and ‘‘entire state’’ were used to refer to

attainment and unclassifiable areas in

the State of Nevada, in lieu of the

lengthy description of 254 hydrographic

areas submitted by the State. Thus, our

1978 rule, despite the use of the shorthand notation in the CFR, approved the

hydrographic areas as the attainment or

unclassifiable areas (for TSP, SO2, and

NO2) in the State of Nevada.

Since our 1978 rule, we have twice

taken action under section 107(d) of the

Clean Air Act to increase the number of

designated section 107(d) areas in the

State of Nevada. In 1980, we approved

a division of hydrographic area 101

(Carson Desert) into two section 107(d)

areas for TSP: 101 (a smaller area

referred to as Carson Desert); and 101A

(referred to as Packard Valley). See 45

FR 46807 (July 11, 1980). In 1982, we

approved a division of hydrographic

area 179 (Steptoe Valley) into three

areas for SO2: central; northern; and

southern. See 47 FR 20772 (May 14,

1982). Upon the effective date of our

1982 rule (June 14, 1982), there have

been a total of 256 section 107(d) areas

in the State of Nevada for SO2, 255

section 107(d) areas for TSP, and 254

section 107(d) areas for NO2.

Therefore, in this action, we are

clarifying 40 CFR 81.329 to indicate

clearly that the term ‘‘rest of state’’ or

‘‘entire state’’ in the Nevada tables for

TSP, SO2, and NO2 refers to the

hydrographic areas designated by EPA

in 1978, revised for TSP in 1980, and

then revised for SO2 in 1982.

II. Clarification of the PM10 Table

In 40 CFR 81.329, there are two tables

that list the nonattainment, attainment,

and unclassifiable areas in the State of

Nevada for particulate matter: one

relates to TSP and the other relates to

PM10. Today’s action clarifies the PM10

table to reflect the relationship between

that table and the TSP area designations

table for the purposes of implementing

the PSD program.3

In 1991, pursuant to the Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990, the State of

Nevada submitted their

recommendations concerning

nonattainment areas for particulate

matter with an aerodynamic diameter

less than or equal to a nominal 10

micrometers (PM10) (PM10 replaced TSP

as the criteria pollutant for particulate

matter.) Dated March 15, 1991, the

State’s letter containing their

recommendations did not refer to PM10

attainment or unclassifiable areas,

instead focussing solely on the

identification of nonattainment areas.

Later in 1991, based on the State’s

recommendations, we revised the

nonattainment areas under section

107(d) for PM10. See 56 FR 56694

(November 6, 1991). Our 1991 rule did

not identify attainment or unclassifiable

areas for PM10.

In 1992, we recognized that we had

neglected to identify attainment or

unclassifiable areas for PM10 in our 1991

rule and thus added the designation

‘‘unclassifiable’’ for the areas not

otherwise designated nonattainment for

PM10, using the term ‘‘rest of state.’’ See

57 FR 56762 (November 30, 1992). In

this context, the use of the term ‘‘rest of

state’’ in the PM10 table in section

81.329 was only identifying the portion

of the State that EPA had not designated

nonattainment for PM10.

Unfortunately, the use of the term

‘‘rest of state’’ in the PM10 table could

lead members of the public to conclude

that there is a single unclassifiable PM10

area in the State for the purposes of the

prevention of significant deterioration

(PSD) program. However, based on the

regulatory history described below, for

PSD baseline purposes, the term ‘‘rest of

state’’ in the PM10 table for the State of

Nevada refers to hydrographic areas,

and in this action, we are clarifying the

PM10 table accordingly to avoid further

confusion.

12476 Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2002 / Rules and Regulations

In 1980, EPA revised the regulations

implementing the PSD program to

define ‘‘baseline areas’’ in terms of the

attainment or unclassifiable areas listed

in 40 CFR part 81, i.e., the section

107(d) areas. 45 FR 52676 (August 7,

1980). In 1987, we revised the National

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)

for particulate matter (52 FR 24634),

replacing TSP as the indicator for

particulate matter with PM10, and in

1993, we revised our PSD regulations to

address the revision in the NAAQS for

particulate matter from TSP to PM10.

Among other changes in our 1993 rule

related to PSD, we decided to retain the

TSP baseline areas as part of the

program for implementing the newlypromulgated PM10 increments. See 58

FR 31622, 31630 (June 3, 1993). The

TSP baseline areas had been defined as

the section 107(d) areas, and in the State

of Nevada, as discussed in the previous

section, the section 107(d) areas for TSP

are comprised of hydrographic areas.

Thus, the effect of our 1993 rule was to

retain the hydrographic areas as PM10

baseline areas for the purposes of

implementing the PM10 increments in

the State of Nevada. Today’s action

clarifies the PM10 table in 40 CFR 81.329

to indicate, in accordance with EPA’s

1993 rule, that for PSD baseline area

purposes, the term ‘‘rest of state’’ refers

to the hydrographic areas that had been

approved by EPA as TSP baseline areas

in the State of Nevada.

III. Correction of CO Table

On October 2, 1997, we published a

final rule that found that the Las Vegas

Valley carbon monoxide (CO)

nonattainment area did not attain the

NAAQS for CO by the applicable

attainment date. Our final rule

reclassified the area from ‘‘moderate’’ to

‘‘serious’’ nonattainment under section

186(b)(2) of the Act. See 62 FR 51604

(October 2, 1997). However, we

inadvertently failed to codify this final

action in the CO table for Nevada in 40

CFR 81.329. The CO table in 40 CFR

81.329 currently lists the prior

classification (‘‘Moderate > 12.7 ppm’’)

for Las Vegas Valley Hydrographic Area

212. In this action, we are therefore

correcting the CO table so that the

classification of Las Vegas Valley

Hydrographic Area 212 is correctly

identified as ‘‘serious,’’ effective

November 3, 1997, reflecting our final

action published on October 2, 1997 in

the Federal Register.

IV. EPA’s Final Action

In this action, we are clarifying and

correcting the tables in 40 CFR 81.329

that identify nonattainment, attainment,

and unclassifiable areas designated by

EPA under the Clean Air Act within the

State of Nevada. Specifically, we are

clarifying the TSP, SO2, and NO2 tables

to identify exactly which geographic

areas comprise the attainment or

unclassifiable areas in the State of

Nevada consistent with our final rules

published in the Federal Register on

March 3, 1978 (43 FR 8962); July 11,

1980 (45 FR 46807); and May 14, 1982

(47 FR 20772). We are also clarifying the

PM10 table consistent with our final rule

related to PSD published in the Federal

Register on June 3, 1993 (58 FR 31622).

Lastly, we are correcting the table

showing the classification of the Las

Vegas Valley nonattainment area for the

NAAQS for CO consistent with our final

rule published in the Federal Register

on October 2, 1997 (62 FR 51604). In so

doing, we are not revising any area

designations or classifications in the

State of Nevada nor are we changing the

underlying method used by the State of

Nevada in implementing the PSD

program in that State. (The State has

been implementing the PSD program on

the basis of hydrographic areas

consistent with our designations of such

areas in 1978.) Rather, we are aligning

the contents of the tables in 40 CFR

81.329 with the effective results of prior

EPA rules that did establish or revise

the area designations or classifications.

V. Effective Date of EPA’s Final Action

Section 553 of the Administrative

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B),

provides that, when an agency for good

cause finds that notice and public

procedure are impracticable,

unnecessary or contrary to the public

interest, the agency may issue a rule

without providing notice and an

opportunity for public comment. EPA

has determined that there is good cause

for making today’s rule final without

prior proposal and opportunity for

comment because EPA is clarifying and

correcting the section of the CFR that

lists designations and classifications

under the Clean Air Act to reflect prior

EPA rules rather than promulgating new

or revised designations or

classifications. These prior rules had

been subject to notice and comment.

Thus, notice and public procedure are

unnecessary. EPA finds that this

constitutes good cause under 5 U.S.C.

553(b)(B). Also, because the contents of

the existing tables of section 107(d)

areas in 40 CFR 81.329 have lead to

confusion, particularly in the context of

implementing the PSD program in

Nevada, we are invoking the good cause

exception to the 30-day notice

requirement of the Administrative

Procedure Act and making today’s final

action immediately effective. See 5

U.S.C. 553(d)(3).

Administrative Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and

is therefore not subject to review by the

Office of Management and Budget. 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). Because the agency has made

a ‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action

is not subject to notice-and-comment

requirements under the Administrative

Procedure Act or any other statute (see

section V., above), it is not subject to the

regulatory flexibility provisions of the

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601

et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(UMRA) (Public Law 104–4). In

addition, this action does not

significantly or uniquely affect small

governments or impose a significant

intergovernmental mandate, as

described in sections 203 and 204 of

UMRA. This rule also does not have

tribal implications because it will not

have a substantial direct effect on one or

more Indian tribes, on the relationship

between the Federal Government and

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of

power and responsibilities between the

Federal Government and Indian tribes,

as specified by Executive Order 13175

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This

rule will 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 rule

also is not subject to Executive Order

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997),

because it is not economically

significant.

This technical correction does not

contain technical standards; 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. The rule also

does not involve special consideration

of environmental justice related issues

as required by Executive Order 12898

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In

issuing this rule, EPA has taken the

necessary steps to eliminate drafting

errors and ambiguity, minimize

potential litigation, and provide a clear

legal standard for affected conduct, as

required by section 3 of Executive Order

12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996).

Federal Register / Vol. 67, No. 53 / Tuesday, March 19, 2002 / Rules and Regulations 12477

EPA has complied with Executive Order

12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1988) by

examining the takings implications of

the rule in accordance with the

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk

and Avoidance of Unanticipated

Takings’’ issued under the executive

order. 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. Section 808 allows

the issuing agency to make a rule

effective sooner than otherwise

provided by the CRA if the agency

makes a good cause finding that notice

and public procedure is impracticable,

unnecessary or contrary to the public

interest. This determination must be

supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C.

808(2). As stated previously, EPA has

made such a good cause finding,

including the reasons therefor, and

established an effective date of March

19, 2002. EPA will submit a report

containing this rule 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. 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 May 20, 2002.

Filing a petition for reconsideration by

the Administrator of this final rule does

not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
