Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 179 / Wednesday, September 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 55545 

reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and 

promoting flexibility. Executive Order 

12866 (Regulatory Planning and 

Review) defines a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action,’’ requiring review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB), unless OMB waives such 

review, as ‘‘any regulatory action that is 

likely to result in a rule that may: (1) 

Have an annual effect on the economy 

of $100 million or more or adversely 

affect in a material way the economy, a 

sector of the economy, productivity, 

competition, jobs, the environment, 

public health or safety, or State, local, 

or tribal governments or communities; 

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or 

otherwise interfere with an action taken 

or planned by another agency; (3) 

Materially alter the budgetary impact of 

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan 

programs or the rights and obligations of 

recipients thereof; or (4) Raise novel 

legal or policy issues arising out of legal 

mandates, the President’s priorities, or 

the principles set forth in this Executive 

Order.’’ 

The economic, interagency, 

budgetary, legal, and policy 

implications of this regulatory action 

have been examined, and it has been 

determined that it is a significant 

regulatory action under Executive Order 

12866 because it is likely to result in a 

regulatory action that may have an 

annual effect on the economy of $100 

million or more. VA’s impact analysis 

can be found as a supporting document 

at http://www.regulations.gov, usually 

within 48 hours after the rulemaking 

document is published. Additionally, a 

copy of the rulemaking and its impact 

analysis are available on VA’s Web site 

at http://www.va.gov/orpm/, by 

following the link for VA Regulations 

Published from FY 2004 through fiscal 

year to date. 

Congressional Review Act 

VA has determined that this 

regulatory action is considered a major 

rule under the Congressional Review 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 801–08, because it may 

result in an annual effect on the 

economy of $100 million or more. In the 

preamble to the interim final rule (79 FR 

63819, 63821), we stated that although 

this regulatory action may constitute a 

major rule within the meaning of the 

Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 

804(2), it was not subject to the 60-day 

delay in effective date applicable to 

major rules under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(3) 

because the Secretary found that good 

cause existed under 5 U.S.C. 808(2) and 

made this regulatory action effective on 

January 1, 2015, consistent with the 

reasons given for the publication of this 

regulatory action as an interim final 

rule. Increasing the copayment amount 

on January 1, 2015, might have caused 

a significant financial hardship for some 

veterans and may have decreased 

patient adherence to medical plans, and 

could have had other unpredictable 

negative health effects. VA anticipates 

the same risk for financial hardship and 

decreased patient adherence if 

copayments were increased in calendar 

year 2016, and has therefore extended 

the freeze through December 31, 2016. 

Accordingly, the Secretary found that 

additional advance notice and public 

procedure thereon were impractical, 

unnecessary, and contrary to the public 

interest. In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 

801(a)(1), VA submitted to the 

Comptroller General and to Congress a 

copy of this regulatory action and VA’s 

Regulatory Impact Analysis. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 requires, at 2 U.S.C. 1532, that 

agencies prepare an assessment of 

anticipated costs and benefits before 

issuing any rule that may result in the 

expenditure by State, local, and tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or by the 

private sector, of $100 million or more 

(adjusted annually for inflation) in any 

one year. This final rule will have no 

such effect on State, local, and tribal 

governments, or on the private sector.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve SIP revisions submitted by the 

state of Missouri for 10 CSR 10–6.390, 

‘‘Control of NOX Emissions from Large 

Stationary Internal Combustion 

Engines,’’ on October 17, 2013. Section 

(2) of the rule is being amended to move 

several definitions from this rule to the 

state’s general definitions rule 10 C.S.R. 

10–6.020. The definitions being moved 

to that state’s general definitions rule 

include: Diesel engine, Dual fuel engine, 

Emergency standby engine, Engine 

rating, Higher heating value (HHV), 

Lean-burn engine, Maintenance 

operation, Output, Peak load, Permitted 

capacity factor, Rich-burn engine, 

Stationary internal combustion engine, 

Stoichiometric air/fuel ration, Unit, and 

Utilization rate. However, in a 

subsequent SIP revision amendment to 

10 C.S.R 10–6.020 submitted by 

Missouri on March 27, 2014, approved 

by EPA and subsequently published in 

the Federal Register on March 4, 2015 

(80 FR 11577), the state amended the 

rule to remove the following definitions: 

Engine rating, Peak load, Permitted 

capacity factor and Stoichiometric air/

fuel ratio, because they are obsolete and 

no longer used in Missouri rules. In 

paragraph (3)(E)(1), Missouri is making 

a minor administrative correction. In 

subsection (3)(F), Missouri is removing 

the term ‘‘kiln’’ and replacing it with the 

term ‘‘engine’’ to clarify the rule, EPA is 

not taking action on any provision of 

thie rule related to Startup, Shutdown 

and Malfunction (SSM). Any changes to 

these portions of the rule must meet the 

requirements of the final SIP Call 

related to SSM (June 12, 2015, 80 FR 

33840). 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. In addition, as 

explained above, the revision meets the 

substantive SIP requirements of the 

CAA, including section 110 and 

implementing regulations. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

We are publishing this rule without a 

prior proposed rule because we view 

this as a noncontroversial action and 

anticipate no adverse comment. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of the Federal Register, we are 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposed rule to the 

SIP revision if adverse comments are 

received on this direct final rule. We 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. For further information about 

commenting on this rule, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. If 

EPA receives adverse comment, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this direct final rule will not take 

effect. We will address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule.

Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of Missouri’s rule 10 C.S.R. 

10–6.390 described in the direct final 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

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. 

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 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 November 16, 2015. 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. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of the Federal Register, rather than file 

an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. Background 

II. Analysis of State Submittal 

III. What Action is EPA taking? 

I. Background 

The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires that 

state regulatory agencies implement the 

emission guidelines and compliance 

times using a state plan developed 

under sections 111(d) and 129 of the 

CAA. Section 111(d) establishes general 

requirements and procedures on state 

plan submittals for the control of 

designated pollutants. Section 129 

requires emission guidelines to be 

promulgated for all categories of sewage 

sludge incineration units, including
