Delaware. This revision consists of the 

base year inventory for the Delaware 

portion of the Philadelphia-WilmingtonAtlantic City, PA–NJ–MD–DE marginal 

nonattainment area (Philadelphia Area) 

for the 2015 ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS). This action 

is being taken under the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

April 25, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 9, 2020, the Delaware 

Department of Natural Resources and 

Environmental Control (DNREC) on 

behalf of the State of Delaware, 

submitted a revision to the Delaware SIP 

entitled, ‘‘2017 Base Year Emissions 

Inventory State Implementation Plan for 

VOC, NOX, and CO for Areas of 

Marginal Nonattainment of the 2015 

Ozone NAAQS in Delaware.’’ New 

Castle County comprises Delaware’s 

portion of the Philadelphia-WilmingtonAtlantic City, PA–NJ–MD–DE 2015 

ozone NAAQS nonattainment area. This 

SIP revision, referred to in this 

rulemaking action as the ‘‘New Castle 

County base year inventory SIP,’’ 

addresses Delaware’s base year 

inventory requirement for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS. 

I. Background 

The background for this action is 

discussed in detail in the January 21, 

2022 notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) and will not be restated here. 

See 87 FR 3259. The NPRM proposed to 

approve the 2017 New Castle County 

base year inventory SIP for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS for the Philadelphia Area 

because the State prepared the 

inventory in accordance with the 

requirements in sections 172(c)(3) and 

182(a)(1) 1 of the CAA and its 

implementing regulations, including 

those at 40 CFR 51.1315. EPA is 

finalizing its proposed approval of 

Delaware’s 2017 New Castle County 

base year inventory for the 2015 ozone 

NAAQS for the Philadelphia Area. 

II. Response to Comments Received 

EPA held a 30-day public comment 

period on the NPRM for this action, 

beginning on January 21, 2022 and 

ending on February 22, 2022. No 

comments were received. 

III. Final Action 

EPA’s review of this material 

indicates the New Castle County base 

year inventory SIP meets the base year 

inventory requirements for the 2015 

ozone NAAQS for the Philadelphia 

Area. Therefore, EPA is approving the 

New Castle County base year inventory 

SIP, which was submitted on October 9, 

2020. 

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 

CAA 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 CAA. 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 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). 

In addition, this final rule approving 

Delaware’s base year inventory SIP for 

the 2015 ozone NAAQS 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.

Butoxypolypropylene glycol, et al.; 

Exemption From the Requirement of a 

Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes 

exemptions from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of 

butoxypolypropylene glycol (BPG; abutyl-w¬ -hydroxy-poly-oxy(methyl-1,2- 

ethanediyl) (CAS Reg. No. 9003–13–8)), 

oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with 

oxirane, mono-2-propen-1-yl ether (CAS 

Reg. No. 9041–33–2; polyether 1), 

poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), a-acetyl-w¬ -(2- 

propen-1-yloxy)- (CAS Reg. No. 27252– 

87–5; polyether 2) and poly(oxy-1,2- 

ethanediyl), a-methyl-w¬ -(2-propen-1- 

yloxy)- (CAS Reg. No. 27252–80–8; 

polyether 3) when used as an inert 

ingredient in/on growing crops and raw 

agricultural commodities pre- and postharvest and applied to animals. Spring 

Trading Company, on behalf of Evonik 

Corporation, submitted a petition to 

EPA under the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), requesting 

establishment of exemptions from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of BPG and polyethers 1, 2, 

and 3 when used in accordance with 

these exemptions. 

DATES: This regulation is effective 

March 25, 2022. Objections and requests 

for hearings must be received on or 

before May 24, 2022, and must be filed 

in accordance with the instructions 

provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also
