18760 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 62 / Thursday, March 31, 2022 / Proposed Rules 

CFR part 51. EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, the State 

Implementation Plan generally available 

at the EPA Region 4 Office (please 

contact the person identified in the ‘‘For 

Further Information Contact’’ section of 

this preamble for more information). 

IV. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve changes 

to the North Carolina SIP. Specifically, 

for the reasons described above, EPA is 

proposing to approve the removal of 15 

NCAC 02D, Rule .0615—Delegation, 

from the North Carolina SIP. 

V. 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 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 proposed 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ section of this 

issue of the Federal Register, the EPA 

is approving updates to the Code of 

Federal Regulations delegation tables to 

reflect the current delegation status of 

New Source Performance Standards and 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants in Arizona 

and California. We are approving these 

updates in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe this 

action is not controversial. A detailed 

rationale for the approval is set forth in 

the direct final rule. If we receive 

adverse comments, however, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. Please note 

that if the EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, the EPA may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is

Proposed Deletion From the National 

Priorities List 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule and withdrawal 

of proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is withdrawing the 

proposed rule published in the Federal 

Register on March 22, 2022 (87 FR 

16135) due to typographical errors. EPA 

is reissuing a Notice of Intent to delete 

four sites and partially delete six sites 

from the National Priorities List (NPL) 

and requests public comments on this 

proposed action. The NPL, promulgated 

pursuant to section 105 of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response, Compensation, and Liability 

Act (CERCLA) of 1980, as amended, is 

an appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). The EPA and 

the state, through its designated state 

agency, have determined that all 

appropriate response actions under 

CERCLA, other than operations and 

maintenance of the remedy, monitoring 

and five-year reviews, where applicable, 

have been completed. However, this 

deletion does not preclude future 

actions under Superfund. 

DATES: The proposed action published 

on March 22, 2022 (87 FR 16135) is 

hereby withdrawn, effective March 31, 

2022. Comments regarding this new 

proposed action must be submitted on 

or before May 2, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under the Docket 

Identification number included in Table 

1 in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section of this document. Submit your 

comments, identified by the appropriate 

Docket ID number, by one of the 

following methods: 

• https://www.regulations.gov. 

Follow on-line instructions for 

submitting comments. Once submitted, 

comments cannot be edited or removed 

from Regulations.gov. The EPA may 

publish any comment received to its 

public docket. Do not submit 

electronically any information you 

consider to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Multimedia submissions (audio, video, 

etc.) must be accompanied by a written 

comment. The written comment is 

considered the official comment and 

should include discussion of all points 

you wish to make. The EPA will 

generally not consider comments or 

comment contents located outside of the 

primary submission (i.e., on the web, 

cloud, or other file sharing system). For 

additional submission methods, the full 

EPA public comment policy, 

information about CBI or multimedia 

submissions, and general guidance on 

making effective comments, please visit 

http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/ 

commenting-epa-dockets. 

• Email: Table 2 in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document provides an email 

address to submit public comments for 

the proposed deletion action. 

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

the Docket Identification number 

included in Table 1 in the 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of 

this document. EPA’s policy is that all 

comments received will be included in 

the public docket without change and 

may be made available online at https:// 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through https://

www.regulations.gov or email. The 

https://www.regulations.gov website is 

an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, which 

means EPA will not know your identity 

or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

If you send an email comment directly 

to EPA without going through https://

www.regulations.gov, your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. Public comments received on 

the proposed rule published March 22, 

2022 (87 FR 16135) will be considered 

in response to this proposed rule and do 

not need to be resubmitted.
