SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
3678 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 25, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 

1The other elements of this submittal are being 

addressed in separate rulemakings. 

I. Background 

On December 6, 2018, EPA issued a 

final rule entitled ‘‘Implementation of 

the 2015 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for ozone: State 

Implementation Plan Requirements’’ 

(SIP Requirements Rule), which 

establishes the requirements that state, 

tribal, and local air quality management 

agencies must meet as they develop 

implementation plans for areas where 

air quality exceeds the 2015 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS. See 83 FR 62998; 40 

CFR part 51, subpart CC. 

Based on the nonattainment 

designation for the 2015 8-hour ozone 

standard, Georgia was required to 

develop a SIP revision addressing the 

requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(5) 

and 173 for the Atlanta Area. See 42 

U.S.C. 7502(c). Section 172(c)(5) of the 

CAA requires each state with a 

nonattainment area to submit a SIP 

revision requiring NNSR permits in the 

nonattainment area in accordance with 

the permitting requirements of CAA 

section 173. The minimum SIP 

requirements for NNSR permitting for 

the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS are 

located in 40 CFR 51.165. See 40 CFR 

51.1314. On July 2, 2020, Georgia 

submitted a SIP revision addressing, 

among other things,1 permit program 

requirements (i.e., NNSR) for the 2015 

8-hour ozone NAAQS for the Atlanta 

Area. 

On December 2, 2021, EPA published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) proposing to approve the July 2, 

2020, SIP revision regarding 2015 8- 

hour Ozone Nonattainment New Source 

Review Permit Program Requirements 

for the Atlanta Area. See 86 FR 68447. 

The December 2, 2021, NPRM provides 

additional detail regarding the 

background and rationale for EPA’s 

action. Comments on the December 2, 

2021, NPRM were due on or before 

January 3, 2022. EPA received no 

comments on the December 2, 2021, 

NPRM. 

II. Final Action 

EPA is approving Georgia’s SIP 

revision addressing the NNSR 

requirements for the 2015 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for the Atlanta Area, submitted 

on July 2, 2020. EPA has concluded that 

Georgia’s submission fulfills the 40 CFR 

51.1314 requirement and meets the 

requirements of CAA sections 172(c)(5) 

and 173 and the minimum SIP 

requirements of 40 CFR 51.165. 

III. 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. 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 as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it 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 March 28, 2022. 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 may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. See section 

307(b)(2).

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule and notice of public

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is making 

minor, non-substantive changes to a 

final rule, ‘‘Revisions to the Unregulated 

Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) 

for Public Water Systems and 

Announcement of Public Meetings,’’ 

that appeared in the Federal Register on 

December 27, 2021. These corrections 

do not change any final action taken by 

EPA on December 27, 2021; rather, they 

simply clarify the amendatory 

instructions. 

DATES: Effective January 26, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

553(b)(B) of the Administrative 

Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B), 

provides that, when an agency for good 

cause finds that public notice and 

comment procedures are impracticable, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest, the agency may issue a rule 

without providing notice and an 

opportunity for public comment. EPA 

has determined that there is good cause 

for making this rule final without 

proposal and opportunity for comment 

because such notice and opportunity for 

comment is unnecessary for the 

following reasons: EPA is making 

minor, non-substantive changes to a 

final rule, ‘‘Revisions to the Unregulated 

Contaminant Monitoring Rule (UCMR 5) 

for Public Water Systems,’’ that 

appeared in the Federal Register on 

December 27, 2021. These corrections 

do not change any final action taken by 

EPA on December 27, 2021; rather, they 

simply clarify the logistical instructions 

to the Office of the Federal Register to 

amend 40 CFR part 141. Thus, notice 

and comment is unnecessary because 

the public has previously had the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed action finalized on December 

27, 2021.
