Request 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving the Limited 

Maintenance Plan (LMP) submitted by 

the State of Montana to EPA on March 

23, 2020, for the Butte Moderate 

nonattainment area (NAA) for 

particulate matter with an aerodynamic 

diameter less than or equal to a nominal 

10 micrometers (PM10) and concurrently 

redesignate the NAA to attainment for 

the 24-hour PM10 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS). In order to 

approve the LMP and redesignation, 

EPA determined that the Butte, MT 

NAA has attained the 1987 24-hour 

PM10 NAAQS of 150 mg/m3. This 

determination is based upon monitored 

air quality data for the PM10 NAAQS 

during the years 2014 through 2018. The 

EPA is taking this action pursuant to the 

Clean Air Act (CAA). 

DATES: This rule is effective on July 26, 

2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ means the EPA. 

I. Background 

The background for this action is 

discussed in detail in our April 19, 2021 

proposal (86 FR 20353). In that 

document, we proposed to approve the 

LMP for the Butte NAA and the State’s 

request to redesignate the Butte NAA 

from nonattainment to attainment for 

the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS. 

Additionally, we proposed to determine 

that the Butte NAA has attained the 

NAAQS for PM10. That determination 

was based upon monitored air quality 

data for the PM10 NAAQS during the 

years 2014 through 2018. Finally, in our 

April 19, 2021 proposal, EPA proposed 

to approve the Butte LMP as meeting the 

appropriate transportation conformity 

requirements found in 40 CFR part 93, 

subpart A. 

The public comment period on the 

EPA’s proposed rule opened on April 

19, 2021, the date of its publication in 

the Federal Register (86 FR 20353) and 

closed on May 19, 2021. During this 

time, the EPA received two comments, 

both in support of this action and 

neither require response to comment. 

II. Final Action 

For the reasons explained in our 

proposed action, we are approving the 

LMP for the Butte NAA and the State’s 

request to redesignate the Butte NAA 

from nonattainment to attainment for 

the 1987 24-hour PM10 NAAQS. 

Additionally, the EPA is determining 

that the Butte NAA has attained the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
33548 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 120 / Friday, June 25, 2021 / Rules and Regulations 

1 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). 

NAAQS for PM10. This determination is 

based upon monitored air quality data 

for the PM10 NAAQS during the years 

2014 through 2018. The EPA is 

approving that the Butte LMP as 

meeting the appropriate transportation 

conformity requirements found in 40 

CFR part 93, subpart A. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, the EPA is 

finalizing regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of the EPA is 

finalizing the incorporation by reference 

of maintenance plans for the Butte PM10

NAA and the Governor of Montana’s 

redesignation requests for the Butte 

PM10 NAAs to attainment. The EPA has 

made, and will continue to make, these 

materials generally available through 

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 8 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

Therefore, these materials have been 

approved by the EPA for inclusion in 

the State implementation plan, have 

been incorporated by reference by the 

EPA into that plan, are fully federally 

enforceable under sections 110 and 113 

of the CAA as of the effective date of the 

final rulemaking of the EPA’s approval, 

and will be incorporated by reference in 

the next update to the SIP compilation.1

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. 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, 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where 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). 

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. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action 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. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by August 24, 2021. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this action for 

the purposes of judicial review nor does 

it extend the time within which a 

petition for judicial review may be filed, 

and shall not postpone the effectiveness 

of such rule or action. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements (see section 

307(b)(2)).
