Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 13 / Friday, January 20, 2012 / Proposed Rules 2943 

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 rulemaking 

that the Harrisburg-Lebanon-CarlisleYork, Allentown, Johnstown, and 

Lancaster PM2.5 nonattainment areas 

have clean data for the 2006 24-hour 

PM2.5 standard 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.
