Determination of Attaining Data for the 

1997 Annual Fine Particulate Matter 

National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA has determined that the 

Atlanta, Georgia, fine particulate (PM2.5) 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Atlanta Area’’ or ‘‘Area’’) has 

attained the 1997 annual average PM2.5

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) and, additionally, that the 

Area has attained the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS by its applicable attainment 

date of April 5, 2010. The Atlanta Area 

is comprised of Barrow, Bartow, Carroll, 

Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, Coweta, 

DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, Forsyth, 

Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, Newton, 

Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding and 

Walton Counties in their entireties, and 

portions of Heard and Putnam Counties. 

First, the determination that the Atlanta 

Area has attained the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS is based on upon qualityassured and certified ambient air 

monitoring data for the 2008–2010 

period showing that the Area has 

monitored attainment of the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The requirements 

for the Area to submit an attainment 

demonstration and associated 

reasonably available control measures 

(RACM), a reasonable further progress 

(RFP) plan, contingency measures, and 

other planning State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) revisions related to 

attainment of the standard shall be 

suspended so long as the Area continues 

to attain the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. 

Second, the determination that the 

Atlanta Area has attained the 1997 PM2.5

NAAQS by its applicable attainment 

date of April 5, 2010, is based upon 


wreier-aviles on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 76621

period showing that the Area has 

monitored attainment of the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS during that 

period. Additionally, in this action EPA 

is addressing a typographical error 

found in the proposed approval for 

these actions. 

DATES: Effective Date: This final rule is 

effective on January 9, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

Number EPA–R04–OAR–2010–0604. All

I. What action is EPA taking? 

II. What is the effect of this action? 

III. What is EPA’s final action? 

IV. What are the statutory and executive 

order reviews? 

I. What actions is EPA taking? 

EPA is determining that the Atlanta 

Area (comprised of Barrow, Bartow, 

Carroll, Cherokee, Clayton, Cobb, 

Coweta, DeKalb, Douglas, Fayette, 

Forsyth, Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Henry, 

Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Spalding 

and Walton Counties in their entireties 

and portions of Heard and Putnam 

Counties) has attained the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS. This determination is 

based upon quality-assured, qualitycontrolled and certified ambient air 

monitoring data that shows the Area has 

monitored attainment of the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS based on the 

2008–2010 data. Preliminary monitoring 

data for the 2009–2011 period indicates 

that this area is continuing to attain the 

1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA is also 

determining, in accordance with EPA’s 

PM2.5 Implementation Rule of April 25, 

2007 (72 FR 20664), that the Atlanta 

Area has attained the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS by its applicable attainment 

date of April 5, 2010. 

Other specific requirements of the 

determinations and the rationale for 

EPA’s action are explained in the notice 

of proposed rulemaking (NPR) 

published on September 14, 2011 (76 FR 

56701) and will not be restated here. 

The comment period closed on October 

14, 2011. No comments, adverse or 

otherwise, were received in response to 

the NPR. 

Finally, EPA also found a 

typographical error in the NPR. On page 

56702 of the NPR, EPA stated ‘‘On 

November 13, 2009, EPA designated the 

Atlanta Area as nonattainment for the 

2006 24-hour NAAQS (74 FR 58688). In 

that action, EPA also clarified the 

designations for the NAAQS 

promulgated in 1997, stating that the 

Atlanta Area was designated as 

nonattainment for the annual NAAQS 

but attainment for the 24-hour 

NAAQS.’’ In EPA’s November 13, 2009, 

action to designate areas for the 2006 

24-hour NAAQS, EPA actually 

designated the Atlanta Area as 

attainment/unclassifiable for the 2006 

24-hour NAAQS. See 74 FR 58688. 

Additionally, EPA is taking the 

opportunity through this action to 

clarify that that only a portion of Heard 

and Putnam Counties are included in 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 nonattainment 

area for Atlanta. 

II. What are the effects of these actions? 

The determination of attaining data 

action, in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.1004(c), suspends the requirements 

for this Area to submit attainment 

demonstrations, associated RACM, RFP 

plans, contingency measures, and other 

planning SIPs related to attainment of 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS as long 

as this Area continues to meet the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. Finalizing this 

action does not constitute a 

redesignation of the Atlanta Area to 

attainment for the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS under section 107(d)(3) of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). Further, finalizing 

this action does not involve approving 

maintenance plans for the Area as 

required under section 175A of the 

CAA, nor does it involve a 

determination that the Area has met all 

requirements for a redesignation. 

In addition, EPA is making a separate 

and independent determination that the 

Area has attained the 1997 annual PM2.5

standard by its applicable attainment 

date (April 5, 2010), thereby satisfying 

EPA’s requirement pursuant to section 

179(c)(1) of the CAA to make such 

determination based on the Area’s air 

quality data as of the attainment date. 

III. What are EPA’s final actions? 

EPA is determining that the Atlanta 

Area has data indicating it has attained 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS and, 

additionally, that the Area has attained 

the standard by its applicable 

attainment date (April 5, 2010). These 

determinations are based upon qualityassured, quality-controlled, and 

certified ambient air monitoring data 

showing that this Area has monitored 

attainment of the 1997 annual PM2.5

NAAQS during the periods of 2008– 

2010, and 2007–2009. This final action, 

in accordance with 40 CFR 51.1004(c), 

will suspend the requirements for this 

Area to submit attainment 

demonstrations, associated RACM, RFP 

plans, contingency measures, and other 

planning SIPs related to attainment of 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS as long 

as the Area continues to meet the 1997 

annual PM2.5 NAAQS. These actions are 

being taken pursuant to section 

179(c)(1) of the CAA and are consistent 

with the CAA and its implementing 

regulations. 

Further, EPA is correcting a 

typographical error in EPA’s proposed 

approval for these actions where EPA 

stated that the Atlanta Area was 

previously designated nonattainment for 

the 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. EPA has 

determined that the correction in 

today’s action falls under the ‘‘good 

cause’’ exemption in section 

553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act which, upon finding 

‘‘good cause,’’ authorizes agencies to 

dispense with public participation 

where public notice and comment 

procedures are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest. Public notice and comment for 

this correction is unnecessary because it 

is merely to correct a typographical 

error where EPA stated that in a 

previous action that the Atlanta Area 

was designated nonattainment for the 

2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, whereas the Area 

was actually designated as attainment/ 

unclassifiable for the 2006 PM2.5

NAAQS. This correction has no 

substantive impact on EPA’s September 

14, 2011, proposed action. In addition, 

EPA can identify no particular reason 

why the public would be interested in 

being notified of the correction, or in 

having the opportunity to comment on 


wreier-aviles on DSK3TPTVN1PROD with RULES
76622 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 236 / Thursday, December 8, 2011 / Rules and Regulations 

the correction prior to this action being 

finalized, since this correction action 

does not change the determinations of 

attainment for the Atlanta Area. 

IV. What are statutory and executive 

order reviews? 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission or 

state request that complies with the 

provisions of the CAA and applicable 

federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions or state request, EPA’s role 

is to approve state choices, provided 

that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 

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 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 action does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

impacted area is not 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). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by February 6, 2012. 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, 

pertaining to the determination of 

attaining data for the 2006 24-hour fine 

particulate matter standard for the 

Atlanta Area, may not be challenged 

later in proceedings to enforce its 

requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

measures, a reasonable further progress 

plan, contingency measures, and other

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The General Services 

Administration is amending the Federal 

Management Regulation (FMR) by 

revising current policy on the 

definitions relating to the rental versus 

the lease of motor vehicles. The rule 

increases the less than 60 continuous 

day rental timeframe to less than 120 

continuous days and adjust the 

definition of the term ‘‘commercial lease 

or lease commercially’’ accordingly to 

allow for the instances when agencies 

have a valid temporary mission 

requirement for a motor vehicle of 60 

continuous days or more in duration but 

of significantly fewer days in duration 

than is typically available under 

commercial leases, which commonly 

require a minimum lease period of one 

year.
