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 Clean Air Act;

• does not provide the EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the 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 and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

period for a proposed Clean Air Act rule 

published August 15, 2017. An 

appendix to one of the documents EPA 

proposed to approve was not available

therefore, EPA is reopening the 

comment period for 15 days. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before January 24, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R05–

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. 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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever

the EPA. 

On August 15, 2017, EPA proposed to 

approve certain changes to Michigan’s 

minor new source review program 

which is contained in Part 2 of the 

Michigan Administrative Code. EPA 

had previously reopened the comment 

period due to an incomplete docket 

from November 2, 2017 to December 4, 

2017. The file containing the state’s 

September 2, 2003 submittal made 

available on Regulations.gov on 

September 12, 2017, was missing 

Attachment H which contained the 

state’s technical analysis of the rule 

changes. The missing attachment was 

made available on regulations.gov on 

December 6, 2017, and EPA is reopening 

the comment period for an additional 15 

days. The comment period now closes 

on January 24, 2018.

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA

codify EPA’s approval of Oklahoma’s 

state program and to incorporate by 

reference those provisions of the State 

regulations that we have determined 

meet the requirements for approval. The 

provisions will be subject to EPA’s 

inspection and enforcement authorities 

under sections 9005 and 9006 of RCRA 

subtitle I and other applicable statutory 

and regulatory provisions.

ACTION: Request for information. 

SUMMARY: This request for information

Improvement Amendments of 1988 

(CLIA) personnel requirements and 

histocompatibility requirements, which, 

with minor exception, have not been 

updated since 1992. We are also seeking 

public comment regarding the flexibility 

to impose alternative sanctions for 

laboratories issued a Certificate of 

Waiver (CoW) determined to have 

participated in proficiency testing (PT) 

referral. In addition, we are seeking 

public comment related to appropriate 

sanctions in situations where we 

determine that a laboratory has referred 

its PT samples to another laboratory and 

has reported the other laboratory’s result 

as their own. 

This request for information also 

seeks public comment regarding the 

updating of fees for determination of 

program compliance and additional fees 

for laboratories established under the 

CLIA regulations. We are also seeking 

public comment regarding the collection 

of other fees we are authorized to collect 

such as fees for revised certificates, post 

survey follow-up visits, complaint 

investigations, and activities related to 

imposition of sanctions. 

We intend to consider public 

comments (including information such 

as evidence, research, and trends) 

received in response to this request for 

information when we draft proposals, in 

consultation, as appropriate, with the 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC), to update the existing 

CLIA regulations through future 

rulemaking. We are also soliciting 

public comment on other areas of CLIA 

which should be reviewed and 

potentially updated. 

DATES: To be assured consideration, 

comments must be received at one of 

the addresses provided below, no later 

than 5 p.m. on March 12, 2018.
