NAAQS 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving elements of 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

submission from Ohio regarding the 

infrastructure requirements of section 

110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 

2015 Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS). The 

infrastructure requirements are designed 

to ensure that the structural components 

of each state’s air quality management 

program are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. EPA 

proposed to approve this action on 

March 9, 2021, and received no adverse 

comments. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

September 10, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

I. Background Information 

On March 9, 2021, EPA proposed to 

approve elements of a SIP submission 

from Ohio regarding the infrastructure 

requirements of CAA section 110 for the 

2015 ozone NAAQS. The infrastructure 

requirements are designed to ensure that 

the structural components of each 

state’s air quality management program 

are adequate to meet the state’s 

responsibilities under the CAA. An 

explanation of the CAA requirements, a 

detailed analysis of the revisions, and 

EPA’s reasons for proposing approval 

were provided in the notice of proposed 

rulemaking and will not be restated 

here. 

The public comment period for this 

proposed rule ended on April 9, 2021. 

During the comment period, EPA 

received 3 comments that covered a 

variety of topics including: Support of 

the proposed action and questions 

regarding how EPA ensures that states 

are complying with the approved SIP; 

what other measures beyond the SIP 

states must follow; how EPA determines 

if emissions from one state impact air 

quality in another state; and how EPA 

informs the public of adverse air quality 

conditions. All of the comments 

received are included in the docket for 

this action. 

We do not consider these comments 

to be germane or relevant to the 

specifics of this action and therefore not 

adverse to this action. The comments 

lack the required specificity to the 

proposed SIP revision and the relevant 

requirements of CAA section 110. 

Moreover, none of the comments 

address a specific regulation or 

provision in question, or recommend a 

different action on the SIP submission 

from what EPA proposed. Therefore, we 

are finalizing our action as proposed. 

II. Final Action 

EPA is approving most elements of a 

submission from Ohio certifying that its 

current SIP is sufficient to meet the 

infrastructure requirements in CAA 

sections 110(a)(1) and (2) with respect to 

the 2015 Ozone NAAQS. EPA’s final 

actions for the state’s satisfaction of 

infrastructure SIP requirements, by 

element of section 110(a)(2) are 

contained in the table below.

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. 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, 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, 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by October 12, 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).)
