Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 244 / Tuesday, December 20, 2011 / Proposed Rules 78871 

of the St. Louis area will remain 

nonattainment for the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 NAAQS until such time as EPA 

determines that the CAA requirements 

for redesignation to attainment are met, 

and takes action to finalize that 

determination through a redesignation. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This action proposes to make a 

determination of attainment based on 

air quality, and would 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• 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 proposed 

determination that the St. Louis area 

attained the 1997 annual average PM2.5

NAAQS by its applicable attainment 

date does not have tribal implications as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because 

the SIPs are not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the states, and 

EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law.

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, South Coast Air 

Quality Management District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the South Coast Air Quality 

Management District (SCAQMD) portion 

of the California State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). This revision concerns 

oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and oxides of 

sulfur (SOX) emissions from facilities 

emitting 4 tons or more per year of NOX

or SOX in the year 1990 or any 

subsequent year under the SCAQMD’s 

Regional Clean Air Incentives Market 

(RECLAIM) program. We are approving 

a local rule that regulates these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by January 19, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, 

identified by docket number EPA–R09–

change and may be made available

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rule: SCAQMD Rule 2005, New Source 

Review for RECLAIM. In the Rules and 

Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving this local 

rule in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe these 

SIP revisions are not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we 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

Public hearing: The proposal for 

which the EPA is holding the public 

hearing was published in the Federal 

Register on November 25, 2011, and is 

available at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/ 

atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html and also in the 

docket identified below. The public 

hearing will provide interested parties 

the opportunity to present oral 

comments regarding the EPA’s proposed 

standards, including data, views or 

arguments concerning the proposal. The 

EPA may ask clarifying questions during 

the oral presentations, but will not 

respond to the presentations at that 

time. Written statements and supporting 

information submitted during the 

comment period will be considered 

with the same weight as any oral 

comments and supporting information 

presented at the public hearing. 

Commenters should notify Ms. Garrett 

if they will need specific equipment or 

if there are other special needs related 

to providing comments at the public 

hearing. The EPA will provide 

equipment for commenters to make 

computerized slide presentations if we 

receive special requests in advance. Oral 

testimony will be limited to 5 minutes 

for each commenter. The EPA 

encourages commenters to bring a copy 

of their oral testimony along with any 

other information supporting their 

statements in electronic (via email or 

CD) or in hard copy form. A recorder 

will be present during the public 

hearing to record oral statements. All 

information submitted to the EPA 

during the public hearing and a 

transcribed copy of the oral statements 

will be entered into the docket. 

The public hearing schedule, 

including lists of speakers, will be 

posted on the EPA’s Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/rrisk/rtrpg.html. 

Verbatim transcripts of the hearing and 

written statements will be included in 

the docket for the rulemaking. The EPA 

will make every effort to follow the 

schedule as closely as possible on the 

day of the hearing; however, please plan 

for the hearing to run either ahead of 

schedule or behind schedule. 

How can I get copies of this document 

and other related information?

the proposed rule, ‘‘National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants:
