53100 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 155 / Thursday, August 11, 2016 / Proposed Rules 

statutory and regulatory permitting 

requirements for PM2.5. Therefore, 

under section 110 and part C of the 

CAA, and for the reasons presented 

above, the EPA is proposing to 

disapprove the following revisions: 

• Substantive revisions to the 

Oklahoma SIP at OAC 252:100–8– 

33(c)(1)(C) establishing the PM2.5 SMC 

as submitted on February 6, 2012; and 

• Substantive revisions to the 

Oklahoma PSD program in OAC 

252:100–8–35(a)(2) establishing the 

PM2.5 PSD SILs provision as submitted 

on February 6, 2012. 

The EPA is proposing to disapprove 

the revisions listed because the 

submitted provisions are inconsistent 

with the federal statutory and regulatory 

permitting requirements for PM2.5. Upon 

finalization of this disapproval owners 

or operators of a proposed source or 

modification will continue to satisfy the 

source impact analysis provisions for 

PM2.5 as required under the Oklahoma 

SIP at OAC 252:100–8–35(a)(1). 

Additionally, the State of Oklahoma 

would continue to have the necessary 

authority to require monitoring of PM2.5

under the Oklahoma SIP at OAC 

252:100–8–35.1(b)(3) consistent with 

the provisions of 40 CFR 52.21(m). 

Finalization of this proposed 

disapproval will not require the EPA to 

promulgate a Federal Implementation 

Plan, because the Oklahoma PSD 

program will continue to satisfy the 

Federal PSD SIP requirements for PM2.5

monitoring and source impact analysis. 

We are proposing this disapproval 

under section 110 and part C of the Act; 

as such, the EPA will not impose 

sanctions as a result of a final 

disapproval. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory 

Planning and Review and Executive 

Order 13563: Improving Regulation and 

Regulatory Review 

This action is not a significant 

regulatory action and was therefore not 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review. 

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) 

This action does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

PRA. There is no burden imposed under 

the PRA because this action proposes to 

disapprove submitted revisions that are 

no longer consistent with federal laws 

and regulations for the regulation and 

permitting of PM2.5. 

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) 

I certify that this action will not have 

a significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the RFA. This action will not 

impose any requirements on small 

entities. This action proposes to 

disapprove submitted revisions that are 

no longer consistent with federal laws 

and regulations for the regulation and 

permitting of PM2.5, and therefore will 

have no impact on small entities. 

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

(UMRA) 

This action does not contain any 

unfunded mandate as described in 

UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538, and does 

not significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments. The action imposes no 

enforceable duty on any state, local or 

tribal governments or the private sector. 

This action proposes to disapprove 

submitted revisions that are no longer 

consistent with federal laws and 

regulations for the regulation and 

permitting of PM2.5, and therefore will 

have no impact on small governments. 

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism 

This action does not have federalism 

implications. It 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. 

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation 

and Coordination With Indian Tribal 

Governments 

This action does not have tribal 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13175. This action proposes to 

disapprove provisions of state law that 

are no longer consistent with federal 

law for the regulation and permitting of 

PM2.5; there are no requirements or 

responsibilities added or removed from 

Indian Tribal Governments. Thus, 

Executive Order 13175 does not apply 

to this action. 

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of 

Children From Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks 

The EPA interprets Executive Order 

13045 as applying only to those 

regulatory actions that concern 

environmental health or safety risks that 

the EPA has reason to believe may 

disproportionately affect children, per 

the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory 

action’’ in section 2–202 of the 

Executive Order. This action is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

because it disapproves state permitting 

provisions that are inconsistent with 

federal laws and regulations for the 

regulation and permitting of PM2.5. 

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution or Use 

This action is not subject to Executive 

Order 13211, because it is not a 

significant regulatory action under 

Executive Order 12866. 

I. National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTAA) 

This rulemaking does not involve 

technical standards. 

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations 

The EPA believes the human health or 

environmental risk addressed by this 

action will not have potential 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects 

on minority, low-income or indigenous 

populations. This action is not subject 

to Executive Order 12898 because it 

disapproves state permitting provisions 

that are inconsistent with federal laws 

and regulations for the regulation and 

permitting of PM2.5.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 155 / Thursday, August 11, 2016 / Proposed Rules 53101 

of this Federal Register, EPA is 

authorizing the changes by direct final 

rule. EPA did not make a proposal prior 

to the direct final rule because we 

believe this action is not controversial 

and do not expect comments that 

oppose it. We have explained the 

reasons for this authorization in the 

preamble to the direct final rule. Unless 

we get written comments which oppose 

this authorization during the comment 

period, the direct final rule will become 

effective 60 days after publication and 

we will not take further action on this 

proposal. If we receive comments that 

oppose this action, we will withdraw 

the direct final rule and it will not take 

effect. We will then respond to public 

comments in a later final rule based on 

this proposal. You may not have another 

opportunity for comment. If you want to 

comment on this action, you must do so 

at this time.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

DoD is proposing to amend the 

DFARS to implement the requirements 

of sections 851 through 853 and 855 

through 857 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2016 (Pub. L. 114–92, enacted 

November 25, 2015), as well as the 

requirements of section 831 of the 

NDAA for FY 2013 (Pub. L. 112–239, 

enacted January 2, 2013). This rule also 

provides guidance to contracting 

officers to promote consistency and 

uniformity in the acquisition process. 

On August 3, 2015, DoD published 

proposed DFARS rule 2013–D034 to 

implement the requirements of section 

831 (80 FR 45918). Based on the 

comments received in response to that 

proposed rule, and in order to 

implement the requirements in sections 

851 through 853 and 855 through 857 of 

the NDAA for FY 2016, DFARS rule
