50660 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 163 / Wednesday, August 22, 2012 / Proposed Rules 

and consistent with Chapter 1200–03– 

26–.02, Permit-Related Fees, of the 

Tennessee Code. EPA has made the 

preliminary determination that 

Tennessee’s SIP and practices 

adequately provide for permitting fees 

related to the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS when necessary. 

13. 110(a)(2)(M) Consultation/ 

participation by affected local entities: 

Chapter 1200–3–9–.01(4)(k), Public 

Participation, of the Tennessee SIP 

requires that TDEC notify the public of 

an application, preliminary 

determination, the activity or activities 

involved in the permit action, any 

emissions change associated with any 

permit modification, and the 

opportunity for comment prior to 

making a final permitting decision. By 

way of example, TDEC has recently 

worked closely with local political 

subdivisions during the development of 

its Transportation Conformity SIP, 

Regional Haze Implementation Plan, 

and Early Action Compacts. EPA has 

made the preliminary determination 

that Tennessee’s SIP and practices 

adequately demonstrate consultation 

with affected local entities related to the 

2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS when 

necessary. 

V. Proposed Action 

As described above, with the 

exception of sub-element 

110(a)(2)(E)(ii), EPA is proposing to 

determine that Tennessee’s 

infrastructure submission, provided to 

EPA on October 19, 2009, addressed the 

required infrastructure elements for the 

2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is 

proposing to approve in part and 

conditionally approve in part, 

Tennessee’s SIP submission consistent 

with section 110(k)(3) of the CAA. 

As described above, with the 

exception of sub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) 

(as it relates to section 128(a)(1)), TDEC 

has addressed the elements of the CAA 

110(a)(1) and (2) SIP requirements 

pursuant to section 110 of the CAA to 

ensure that the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and 

maintained in Tennessee. With respect 

to 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) (referencing section 

128 of the CAA), EPA is proposing to 

conditionally approve Tennessee’s 

infrastructure SIP based on a March 28, 

2012, commitment that TDEC will adopt 

specific enforceable measures into its 

SIP and submit these revisions to EPA 

July 23, 2013, to address the applicable 

portions of section 128. EPA is also 

proposing to approve Tennessee’s 

infrastructure submission for the 2008 

8-hour ozone NAAQS, with the 

exception of sub-element 

110(a)(2)(E)(ii), because its October 19, 

2009, submission is consistent with 

section 110 of the CAA. 

VI. 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. 

See 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 CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 

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 proposed 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 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, this proposed 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.
