SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Great 

Lakes St. Lawrence Seaway 

Development Corporation (GLS) and the 

St. Lawrence Seaway Management 

Corporation (SLSMC) of Canada, under 

international agreement, jointly publish 

and presently administer the St. 

Lawrence Seaway Regulations and 

Rules (Practices and Procedures in

Under agreement with the SLSMC, the 

GLS is amending the joint regulations 

by updating the Regulations and Rules 

in various categories. The changes 

update the following sections of the

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 44 / Monday, March 7, 2022 / Rules and Regulations 12591 

Regulations and Rules: Condition of 

Vessels; Seaway Navigation; and, 

Dangerous Cargo. These changes are to

Regulatory Notices: Privacy Act: 

Anyone is able to search the electronic 

form of all comments received into any 

of our dockets by the name of the 

individual submitting the comment (or 

signing the comment, if submitted on 

behalf of an association, business, labor 

union, etc.). You may review DOT’s 

complete Privacy Act Statement in the 

Federal Register published on April 11, 

2000 (Volume 65, Number 70; Pages 

19477–78) or you may visit http://

www.Regulations.gov. 

The joint regulations will become 

effective in Canada on March 21, 2022. 

For consistency, because these are joint 

regulations under international 

agreement, and to avoid confusion 

among users of the Seaway, the GLS 

finds that there is good cause to make 

the U.S. version of the amendments 

effective on the same date. 

Regulatory Evaluation 

This regulation involves a foreign 

affairs function of the United States and 

therefore, Executive Order 12866 does 

not apply and evaluation under the 

Department of Transportation’s 

Regulatory Policies and Procedures is 

not required. 

Regulatory Flexibility Act 

Determination 

I certify that this regulation will not 

have a significant economic impact on 

a substantial number of small entities. 

The St. Lawrence Seaway Regulations 

and Rules primarily relate to 

commercial users of the Seaway, the 

vast majority of whom are foreign vessel 

operators. Therefore, any resulting costs 

will be borne mostly by foreign vessels. 

Environmental Impact 

This regulation does not require an 

environmental impact statement under 

the National Environmental Policy Act 

(49 U.S.C. 4321, et seq.) because it is not 

a major federal action significantly 

affecting the quality of the human 

environment. 

Federalism 

The Corporation has analyzed this 

rule under the principles and criteria in 

Executive Order 13132, dated August 4, 

1999, and has determined that this 

proposal does not have sufficient 

federalism implications to warrant a 

Federalism Assessment. 

Unfunded Mandates 

The Corporation has analyzed this 

rule under Title II of the Unfunded 

Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 

104–4, 109 Stat. 48) and determined that 

it does not impose unfunded mandates 

on State, local, and tribal governments 

and the private sector requiring a 

written statement of economic and 

regulatory alternatives. 

Paperwork Reduction Act 

This regulation has been analyzed 

under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995 and does not contain new or 

modified information collection 

requirements subject to the Office of 

Management and Budget review. 

List of Subjects in 33 CFR Part 401

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document wherever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

the EPA. 

I. Background 

On October 15, 2021 (86 FR 57388), 

the EPA published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of 

New Mexico, for the approval of the 

State’s 2017 base year emission 

inventories and emissions statement 

requirements for the Sunland Park 

Sunland Park marginal ozone 

nonattainment area for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS. The background for this action 

and rational for EPA’s proposed action 

are explained in the NPRM and will not 

be restated here. One anonymous 

comment was received during the 

public comment period which ended on 

November 15, 2021. 

II. Response to Comments 

Comment: The commenter believes 

that New Mexico is doing its best in 

implementing regulations promulgated 

by the EPA under the CAA. The 

commenter inquired about EPA’s 

procedure for enforcing the CAA 

regulations, and expressed concern that 

the clean air policy would fail without 

the collective actions of other states. 

Response: We appreciate the 

commenter’s perspective that New 

Mexico is doing its best in 

implementing CAA regulations 

promulgated by the EPA. However, the 

issues raised by the commenter are 

outside the scope of this action. This 

action is limited to the approval of the 

Emissions Inventory and Emissions 

Statement requirements for the 2015 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS submitted by the 

state of New Mexico, for the Sunland 

Parkozone nonattainment area, New 

Mexico, under the CAA. 

The CAA establishes a comprehensive 

program for controlling and improving 

the nation’s air quality through state and 

federal regulation. This comprehensive 

program is based on cooperative 

federalism that divides responsibilities 

between the EPA and the states. Under 

the CAA, the EPA establishes the 

national air quality standards, and the 

states are primarily responsible for 

implementing those standards, with 

oversight from EPA. 

Upon the promulgation or revision of 

a NAAQS by the EPA, each state is 

required to submit a state 

implementation plan (SIP). The SIP 

provides the ‘‘implementation, 

maintenance, and enforcement’’ of the 

NAAQS, and must ‘‘contain adequate 

provisions’’ prohibiting air emissions in 

amounts that contribute significantly to 

nonattainment or that interfere with the 

maintenance of the NAAQS in 

neighboring states. 42 U.S.C. 

7410(a)(2)(D)(i)(I). Where a state fails to 

submit all or a portion of a SIP as 

required by the CAA, or where the EPA 

disapproves a SIP as not meeting the 

CAA requirements, the EPA will assert 

federal oversight authority and develop 

a federal implementation plan (FIP) for 

the state. It may also develop a FIP for 

tribal lands if a tribe elects not to 

develop their own implementation plan, 

as appropriate. 

The applicable state and the EPA both 

have authority to bring enforcement 

actions for violations of federallyapproved SIPs. Members of the public 

can also file citizen suits under the CAA 

to address violations of SIPs. For more 

details on Air Quality Implementation 

Plans please visit https://www.epa.gov/ 

air-quality-implementation-plans. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the New Mexico SIP 

revisions submitted on September 10, 

2020 to address the emissions inventory 

and emissions statement requirements 

for the Sunland Park area for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS. The emissions inventory 

we are approving is listed in Table 1 of 

the NPRM. We are approving the 

emissions inventory because it contains 

a comprehensive, accurate, and current 

inventory of actual emissions for all 

relevant sources in accordance with 

CAA sections 172(c)(3) and 182(a)(1) 

requirements. We are also approving the 

New Mexico emission statement 

because it includes the approved 

provision addressing the emission 

statement requirement in CAA section 

182(a)(3)(B). New Mexico adopted the 

emission inventories consistent with the 

requirement for reasonable public notice 

and opportunity for a public hearing. 

IV. 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, the 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve 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,
