SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On January 7, 2010 (75 FR 953), EPA 

published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) for a SIP revision 

submitted by the State of Maryland. The 

NPR proposed approval of Maryland’s 

2002 base year emissions inventory, 

RFP plan, RFP contingency measures, 

RACM, and MVEBs for the Maryland 

portion of the Philadelphia moderate 

1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. 

EPA is approving the SIP revision 

because it satisfies the emission 

inventory, RFP, RACM, RFP 

contingency measure, and 

transportation conformity requirements 

of the section 110 and part D of the CAA 

and EPA’s regulations. The formal SIP 

revision was submitted by the State of 

Maryland on June 4, 2007. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

The SIP revision addresses emissions 

inventory, RACM, RFP and contingency 

measures requirements for the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS for the Maryland 

portion of the Philadelphia 8-hour 

ozone moderate nonattainment area. 

The SIP revision also establishes MVEBs 

for 2008. Other specific requirements of 

Maryland’s June 4, 2007 SIP revision for 

the Philadelphia 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area and the rationale for 

EPA’s proposed action are explained in 

the NPR and will not be restated here. 

The following public comment was 

received on the NPR. 

Comment: An anonymous commenter 

submitted the comment: ‘‘We do not 

need tighter regulations on ozone. 

Ragweed is more of problem than 

smog.’’ 

Response: The comment, while 

vaguely expressing a general uncertainty 

about the rule, does not identify any 

particular defects in the rule substance 

or adoption. Importantly, the comment 

does not oppose EPA’s proposed full 

approval of the rule. Moreover, while 

the commenter expresses a general 

dislike for regulations addressing ozone 

pollution, the commenter does not 

question the legal obligation for the 

states to adopt and submit SIP revisions 

WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 112 / Friday, June 11, 2010 / Rules and Regulations 33173 

addressing these specific obligations for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. See 

generally CAA section 182(b) and 40 

CFR part 51 subpart X. EPA, therefore, 

believes that the commenter has not 

provided a basis for EPA to not move 

forward and approve the submitted SIP. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the 2002 base year 

emissions inventory; the 2008 ozone 

projected emission inventory; the 2008 

RFP plan; RFP contingency measures; 

RACM analysis; and 2008 transportation 

conformity budgets for the Maryland 

portion of the Philadelphia 8-hour 

ozone nonattainment area, contained in 

Maryland’s June 4, 2007 SIP revision 

submittal for the Maryland portion of 

the Philadelphia 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area. The SIP revision 

satisfies these requirements for 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS nonattainment 

areas classified as moderate and 

demonstrates further progress in 

reducing ozone precursors. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

Under the Clean Air Act, 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 Clean Air Act. 

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 Clean Air Act; 

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 rule 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. 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by August 10, 2010. 

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 Maryland portion of 

the Philadelphia moderate 1997 8-hour 

ozone nonattainment area’s 2002 base 

year emissions inventory, 2008 ozone 

projected emission inventory, 2008 RFP 

plan, RFP contingency measures, RACM 

analysis, and 2008 transportation 

conformity budgets may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving a portion of 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submitted by the State of New Mexico 

for the purpose of addressing the ‘‘good 

neighbor’’ provisions of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 

1997 ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS) and the 

1997 PM2.5 NAAQS. This SIP revision 

satisfies a portion of the State of New 

Mexico’s obligation to submit a SIP that 

demonstrates that adequate provisions 

are in place to prohibit air emissions 

from adversely affecting another state’s 

air quality through interstate transport. 

This rulemaking action is being taken 

under section 110 of the CAA and 

addresses one element of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i), which pertains to 

prohibiting air pollutant emissions from 

within New Mexico from contributing 

significantly to nonattainment of the 

1997 8-hour ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS in 

any other state. 

DATES: This final rule will be effective 

July 12, 2010.
