I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What rules did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the rules we are 

approving, with the dates that they were 

adopted by ICAPCD and SHAQMD, and 

submitted by the California State Air 

Resource Board (CARB). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED RULES

Local agency Rule # Rule title Adopted Submitted 

ICAPCD ......................... 910 Enhanced Monitoring ................................................................................... 03/21/95 06/16/95 

SHAQMD ....................... 3:8 Enhanced Monitoring and Compliance Certification for Major Sources as 

Defined by Title V.

01/03/95 2/24/95 

On December 16, 1995, the submittal 

for ICAPCD Rule 910 was deemed by 

operation of law to meet the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51, 

Appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

On August 24, 1995, the submittal for 

SHAQMD Rule 3:8 was deemed by 

operation of law to meet the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51, 

Appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

B. Are there other versions of these 

rules? 

There are no previous versions of 

Rule 910 in the ICAPCD portion of the 

SIP, nor Rule 3:8 in the SHAQMD 

portion of the SIP.

51262 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 167 / Thursday, August 28, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rules? 

The primary purpose of these rules is 

to improve the current monitoring 

schemes so that sources, districts, states 

and EPA can determine a source’s 

compliance with underlying emission 

limitations or standards on a regular 

basis. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the rules? 

As part of the 1990 amendments to 

the CAA, Congress amended Sections 

113 and 114. Among the revisions are 

provisions which require an enhanced 

monitoring and compliance certification 

program for major stationary sources of 

air pollution. EPA Region IX provided 

recommended language necessary to be 

incorporated into SIPs. A summary of 

our evaluation finds that the credible 

evidence language used in Rules 910 

and 3:8 is identical to the language 

required in the CAA for the 

implementation of regulations. In 

addition, we have evaluated whether 

the rules are adequately enforceable and 

whether they would interfere with the 

on-going process for ensuring that 

requirements for Reasonable Further 

Progress (RFP) and attainment of 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) are met. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to evaluate enforceability and 

other CAA requirements include a letter 

dated May 16, 1994, from EPA Region 

IX, Felicia Marcus, entitled ‘‘Call for SIP 

Revision Concerning Enhanced 

Monitoring’’. 

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

We believe these rules are consistent 

with the relevant policy and guidance 

regarding enforceability and SIP 

relaxations. Our Technical Support 

Document (TSD) has more information 

on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations To Further 

Improve the Rules 

When these rules are next revised, we 

recommend that section D.2.b(1) of 

ICAPCD Rule 910, and section c.2.d of 

SHAQMD Rule 3:8 be modified to 

include test methods as outlined in 40 

CFR part 63. This is not an 

approvability issue because the rules do 

not limit credible evidence to those 

methods specifically listed, but it would 

be clearer to also specify part 63 in this 

list. 

D. Public Comment and Final Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted rules because we believe they 

fulfill all relevant requirements. We do 

not think anyone will object to this 

approval, so we are finalizing it without 

proposing it in advance. However, in 

the Proposed Rules section of this 

Federal Register, we are simultaneously 

proposing approval of the same 

submitted rules. If we receive adverse 

comments by September 29, 2014, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register to notify the public 

that the direct final approval will not 

take effect and we will address the 

comments in a subsequent final action 

based on the proposal. If we do not 

receive timely adverse comments, the 

direct final approval will be effective 

without further notice on October 27, 

2014. This will incorporate these rules 

into the federally enforceable SIP. 

Please note that if EPA receives 

adverse comment on an amendment, 

paragraph, or section of this rule and if 

that provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, 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, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

Accordingly, this action merely 

approves State law as meeting Federal 

requirements and does 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 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 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, 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).

47 CFR Part 25 

[FCC 14–109] 

Extension of the Consummation 

Deadline for Space and Earth Station 

License Transfers and Assignments 

AGENCY: Federal Communications 

Commission. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This document amends the 

Commission’s rules to extend the time 

by which parties must consummate an 

approved satellite space station or earth 

station license assignment or transfer of 

control from 60 to 180 days. This will 

provide parties greater flexibility to set 

closing dates, decrease the need to file 

extension of time requests, and 

harmonize this consummation deadline 

with that in other wireless services. 

DATES: Effective August 28, 2014. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Clay 

DeCell, 202–418–0803. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a 

summary of the Commission’s Order, 

FCC 14–109, adopted July 31, 2014, and 

released August 1, 2014. The full text of 

the Order is available for download at 

https://apps.fcc.gov/edocs_public/. It is 

also available for inspection and 

copying during business hours in the 

FCC Reference Information Center, 

Portals II, 445 12th Street SW., Room 

CY–A257, Washington, DC 20554. To

Synopsis of the Order 

By this Order, we amend § 25.119(f) of 

the Commission’s rules to extend the 

time by which parties must consummate 

an approved satellite space station or 

earth station license assignment or 

transfer of control from 60 to 180 days. 

This amendment is part of the 

Commission’s process reform initiative 

and will provide parties greater 

flexibility to set closing dates, decrease 

the need to file extension of time 

requests, and harmonize this 

consummation deadline with that in 

other wireless services. Because this 

amendment involves a rule of agency 

procedure, general notice and an 

opportunity to comment are not 

required. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A). 

Section 25.119(f) of the Commission’s 

rules requires space station and earth 

station licensees to consummate an 

assignment or transfer of control within 

60 days from the date of authorization. 

47 CFR 25.119(f). This period is shorter 

than the 180-day consummation period 

for wireless licenses, which are often 

involved in the same transaction with 

satellite licenses. See 47 CFR 1.948(d). 

Moreover, many space station and earth 

station licensees seek Commission 

approval well in advance of closing a 

transaction, and may need more than 60 

days to consummate after Commission 

authorization. This can result in the 

filing of requests to extend the 

consummation deadline, and these 

requests have been granted. 

To address this issue, a staff working 

group recommended, under 

Recommendation 5.30 of its Process 

Reform Report, extending the 60-day 

consummation period to 180 days. We 

find that it is in the public interest to 

adopt this recommendation. The 

amendment will remove unnecessary 

administrative burdens by eliminating 

the filing of such extension of time 

requests. A 180-day deadline may also 

facilitate transactions involving a 

company holding licenses in multiple 

services. 

We hereby modify § 25.119(f) of our 

rules consistent with Recommendation 

5.30. Accordingly, parties to an 

approved license transfer or assignment 

will be required to consummate the 

transaction within 180 days from the 

date of authorization, instead of within 

60 days. 

Accordingly, it is ordered that, 

pursuant to sections 4(i) and 4(j) of the 

Communications Act, as amended, 47 

U.S.C. 154(i), (j), and section 553(b)(A) 

of the Administrative Procedure Act 

(APA), 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(A), § 25.119(f) of 

the Commission’s rules, 47 CFR 

25.119(f), is amended as described 

above. 

It is further ordered that this Order is 

effective upon publication in the 

Federal Register, pursuant to section 

553(d)(1) of the APA, 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(1). 

As a result, the new rule will apply to 

all transfers and assignments that are 

pending or have been approved, but not 

consummated, at the time of, and after, 

Federal Register publication. 

Procedural Matters 

This action does not require notice 

and comment, and therefore is not 

subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act 

of 1980, as amended. See 5 U.S.C. 

601(2), 603(a). 

This document does not contain new 

or modified information collection 

requirements subject to the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, Public Law 104– 

13. In addition, therefore, it does not 

contain any new or modified 

information collection burden for small 

business concerns with fewer than 25 

employees, pursuant to the Small 

Business Paperwork Relief Act of 2002, 

Public Law 107–198, see 44 U.S.C. 

3506(c)(4). 

The Commission will not send a copy 

of this Order pursuant to the 

Congressional Review Act, see 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1)(A), because the amended rule 

is a rule of agency organization, 

procedure, or practice that does not 

‘‘substantially affect the rights or 

obligations of non-agency parties.’’
