Federal Register / Vol. 63, No. 73 /Thursday, April 16, 1998 /Rules and Regulations 18837

The Commission is exempt from

Executive Order 12866 and its

provisions do not apply to this rule.

Even if the Order were applicable, the

rule would not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities under the

Regulatory Flexibility Act. The

implementation of the rule will have no

adverse effect on competition,

employment, investment, productivity,

innovation, or on the ability of United

States-based enterprises to compete

with foreign-based enterprises in

domestic or export markets.

Finally, the Secretary of the Panama

Canal Commission certifies these

changes meet the applicable standards

set out in sections 2(a) and 2(b)(2) of

Executive Order 12778.

Acid Rain Program: Revisions to

Sulfur Dioxide Opt-Ins

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: Title IV of the Clean Air Act,

as amended by Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990, (‘‘Act’’)

authorizes the Environmental Protection

Agency (‘‘EPA’’ or ‘‘Agency’’) to

establish the Acid Rain Program. The

purpose of the Acid Rain Program is to

significantly reduce emissions of sulfur

dioxide and nitrogen oxides from

electric generating plants in order to

reduce the adverse health and ecological

impacts of acidic deposition (or acid

rain) resulting from such emissions.

This final rule is intended to promote

participation in the title IV opt-in

program by clarifying existing

regulations, allowing a limited

exception to the general rule of one

designated representative for all affected

units at a source, revising the conditions

under which the Agency may cancel

current-year allowance allocations, and

allowing thermal energy plans to be

effective on a quarterly basis.

DATES: This rule is effective May 18,

1998.

307(b)(1) of the Act, judicial review of

this rule is available only by filing a

petition for review in the U.S. Court of

Circuit within 60 days of today’s

publication of these final rule revisions.

Under section 307(b)(2) of the Act, the

requirements that are the subject of

today’s document may not be

challenged in civil or criminal

proceedings brought by the EPA to

enforce these requirements.

ADDRESSES: Docket. Docket No. A–97–
