Region 9] 

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Butte County Air 

Quality Management District, Feather 

River Air Quality Management District, 

and San Luis Obispo County Air 

Pollution Control District; Correcting 

Amendment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correcting 

amendment. 

SUMMARY: On June 11, 2015, the 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register approving a revision to the 

Butte County Air Quality Management 

District (BCAQMD) portion of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). In that rulemaking, the EPA 

indicated that final approval of the 

revision would supersede certain older 

rules in the California SIP but failed to 

include regulatory text to that effect. 

This document adds appropriate 

regulatory text to correct that omission, 

clarifying the specific regulations that 

were superseded and that are no longer 

part of the applicable California SIP, 

and adds a line of text identifying the 

affected air quality district that was 

missing in the original action. 

DATES: This action is effective on 

October 2, 2015. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kevin Gong, EPA Region IX, (415) 972– 

3073, gong.kevin@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action corrects inadvertent errors in a 

rulemaking related to BCAQMD’s SIPapproved definitions. On June 11, 2015 

(80 FR 33195), the EPA published a 

direct final rulemaking action approving 

revisions to various sections of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). This action contained regulatory 

text amendments to 40 CFR part 52, 

subpart F. The amendments, which 

incorporated material by reference into 

section 52.220, Identification of plan, 

paragraph (c)(457), omitted regulatory 

language that addressed the replacement 

of Butte County Air Pollution Control 

District (BCAPCD) Rule 101—‘‘Title’’ 

and parts of BCAPCD Rule 102— 

‘‘Definitions’’ with BCAQMD Rule 

101—‘‘Definitions’’ as described in 

Footnote 1 of 80 FR 33195. This action 

adds regulatory text to clarify the rules 

or portions of rules that were 

superseded in the Butte County AQMD 

portion of the California SIP by our June 

11, 2015 direct final action. 

The EPA has determined that this 

action falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ 

exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedures Act (APA) 

which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’ 

authorizes agencies to dispense with 

public participation where public notice 

and comment procedures are 

impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary 

to the public interest. Public notice and 

comment for this action is unnecessary 

because this action correcting 

inadvertent regulatory text errors 

included in the EPA’s June 11, 2015 

final rule is consistent with the 

substantive revision to the California 

SIP as described in the preamble of said 

action concerning definitions for the 

BCAQMD portion of the California SIP. 

In addition, the EPA can identify no 

particular reason why the public would 

be interested in having the opportunity 

to comment on the correction prior to 

this action being finalized, since this 

correction action does not change the 

EPA’s analysis or overall action related 

to the approval of BCAQMD’s revisions 

to their definitions into the California 

SIP. 

The EPA also finds that there is good 

cause under APA section 553(d)(3) for 

this correction to become effective on 

the date of publication of this action. 

Section 553(d)(3) of the APA allows an 

effective date of less than 30 days after 

publication ‘‘as otherwise provided by 

the agency for good cause found and 

published with the rule.’’ 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(3). The purpose of the 30-day 

waiting period prescribed in APA 

section 553(d)(3) is to give affected 

parties a reasonable time to adjust their 

behaviour and prepare before the final 

rule takes effect. This rule, however, 

does not create any new regulatory 

requirements such that affected parties 

would need time to prepare before the 

rule takes effect. Rather, this action 

merely corrects inadvertent errors for 

the regulatory text of the EPA’s prior 

rulemaking for the California SIP. For 

these reasons, the EPA finds good cause 

under APA section 553(d)(3) for this 

correction to become effective on the 

date of publication of this action. 

Need for Correction 

As published, the final regulations 

omitted amendatory language that 

addressed the replacement of BCAQMD 

Rule 101. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 191 / Friday, October 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 59611 

is therefore not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. In 

addition, this action does not impose 

any enforceable duty or contain any 

unfunded mandate as described in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–4), or require prior 

consultation with State officials as 

specified by Executive Order 12875 (58 

FR 58093, October 28, 1993), or involve 

special consideration of environmental 

justice related issues as required by 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). 

Because this action is not subject to 

notice-and-comment requirements 

under the Administrative Procedure Act 

or any other statute, it is not subject to 

the provisions of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) 

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added 

by the Small Business Regulatory 

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, the 

EPA will submit a report containing this 

rule and other required information to 

the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 

Representatives and the Comptroller 

General of the General Accounting 

Office prior to publication of this rule in 

the Federal Register. This rule is not a 

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2).

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Missouri, Limited Maintenance Plan for 

the St. Louis Nonclassifiable 

Maintenance Area for the 8-Hour 

Carbon Monoxide National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 

the State of Missouri relating to the 

Limited Maintenance Plan for the St. 

Louis area for the 8-Hour Carbon 

Monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS). On April 8, 

2014, the Missouri Department of 

Natural Resources (MDNR) submitted to 

EPA a second 10-year maintenance plan 

for the St. Louis area for the CO 

NAAQS. This maintenance plan 

addresses maintenance of the CO 

NAAQS for a second 10-year period 

beyond the original redesignation. In 

accordance with the requirements of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is approving 

the revision because the State 

adequately demonstrates that the St. 

Louis Maintenance area will maintain 

air quality standards for CO through the 

year 2022. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective December 1, 2015, without 

further notice, unless EPA receives 

adverse comment by November 2, 2015. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect.

going through www.regulations.gov, 

your email address will be 

automatically captured and included as
