SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document, wherever 

‘‘we’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used it means the EPA. 

I. Background 

The SIP is a living document that the 

State revises as necessary to address its 

unique air pollution problems. 

Therefore, EPA, from time to time must 

take action on SIP revisions containing 

new and/or revised regulations to make 

them part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 

(62 FR 27968), EPA revised the 

procedures for incorporating by 

reference Federally-approved SIPs, as a 

result of consultations between EPA and 

the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). 

The description of the revised SIP 

document, IBR procedures and 

‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997 Federal Register. On March 1, 

2007 (72 FR 9263), EPA published a 

document in the Federal Register 

beginning the new IBR procedure for 

North Dakota. Today’s action is an 

update to the March 1, 2007 document. 

II. EPA Action 

In this document, EPA is doing the 

following: (1) Announcing an update to 

the IBR material for North Dakota’s 

revisions to its SIP as of March 1, 2009, 

including revisions that were approved 

by EPA on July 19, 2007 (72 FR 39564) 

and May 27, 2008 (73 FR 30308); and (2) 

Revising the entries in paragraphs 

52.1820(b), (c), (d), and (e) to reflect this 

update. 

III. Good Cause Exemption 

EPA has determined that today’s 

action falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ 

exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) 

which, upon a finding of ‘‘good cause,’’ 

authorizes agencies to dispense with 

public participation, and section 

553(d)(3), which allows an agency to 

make a rule effective immediately 

(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed 

effective date otherwise provided for in 

the APA). Today’s rule simply codifies 

provisions which are already in effect as 

a matter of law. Under section 553 of the 

APA, an agency may find good cause 

where procedures are ‘‘impractical, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Public comment is 

‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the 

public interest’’ since the codification 

only reflects existing law. Likewise, 

there is no purpose served by delaying 

the effective date of this action. 

Immediate notice in the CFR benefits 

the public by removing outdated 

citations and incorrect chart entries. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Review 

A. General Requirements 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

is therefore not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). Because the agency has made 

a ‘‘good cause’’ finding that this action 

is not subject to notice-and-comment 

requirements under the Administrative 

Procedure Act or any other statute as 

indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section above, it is not 

subject to the regulatory flexibility 

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 

202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 

104–4). In addition, this action does not 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments or impose a significant 

intergovernmental mandate, as 

described in sections 203 and 204 of 

UMRA.

18142 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 75 / Tuesday, April 21, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

This rule also does not have tribal 

implications because it will not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This rule also is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045, 

‘‘Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), 

because it is not an economically 

significant regulatory action based on 

health or safety risks. 

This rule does not involve technical 

standards; thus the requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not 

apply. The rule also does not involve 

special consideration of environmental 

justice related issues as required by 

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 

February 16, 1994). This rule does not 

impose an information collection 

burden under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

EPA’s compliance with these statutes 

and Executive Orders for the underlying 

rules is discussed in previous actions 

taken on the State’s rules. 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

The Congressional Review Act (5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq.), as added by the 

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. Section 808 allows 

the issuing agency to make a rule 

effective sooner than otherwise 

provided by the CRA if the agency 

makes a good cause finding that notice 

and public procedure is impracticable, 

unnecessary or contrary to the public 

interest. Today’s action simply 

reformats the codification of provisions 

which are already in effect as a matter 

of law. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated 

previously, EPA has made such a good 

cause finding, including the reasons 

therefore, and established an effective 

date of April 21, 2009. EPA will submit 

a report containing this rule and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. This update to the 

Identification of plan for North Dakota 

is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

EPA has also determined that the 

provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the 

Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for 

judicial review are not applicable to this 

action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for 

each individual component of the North 

Dakota SIP compilation had previously 

afforded interested parties the 

opportunity to file a petition for judicial 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days of such rulemaking 

action. Thus, EPA sees no need to 

reopen the 60-day period for filing such 

petitions for judicial review for this 

reorganization of the ‘‘Identification of 

plan’’ section of 40 CFR 52.1820 for 

North Dakota.
