Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources (NSPS) and 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP); 
Delegation of Authority to the States of Iowa; Kansas; Missouri; 
Nebraska; Lincoln-Lancaster County, NE; and City of Omaha, NE

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule and delegation of authority.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The states of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and the local 
agencies of Lincoln-Lancaster County, Nebraska, and city of Omaha, 
Nebraska, have submitted updated regulations for delegation of the EPA 
authority for implementation and enforcement of NSPS and NESHAP. The 
submissions cover new EPA standards and, in some instances, revisions 
to standards previously delegated. EPA's review of the pertinent 
regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures 
for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This 
action informs the public of delegations to the above-mentioned 
agencies.

DATES: This rule is effective on May 18, 2000. The dates of delegation 
can be found in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION; section of this 
document.

    Summary of this action

What Does This Rule Do?

    EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for 
implementation and enforcement of the Federal standards shown in the 
tables below to the state and local air agencies in Region 7. This rule 
updates the delegation tables most recently published at 63 FR 1746 
(January 12, 1998.)
    Section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) 
provides that an agency may forgo notice-and-comment rulemaking upon 
determination of ``good cause'' published with the rule. EPA considers 
these updates to be minor changes which are not subject to notice-and-
comment rulemaking procedures under the APA or any other statute.

What Is the Authority for Delegation?

    1. Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes EPA to 
delegate authority to any state agency which submits adequate 
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS 
program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR Part 60.

[[Page 20755]]

    2. Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR Part 63, subpart E, 
authorizes EPA to delegate authority to any state or local agency which 
submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and 
enforcement of emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The 
hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR Parts 61 and 
63, respectively.

What Does Delegation Accomplish?

    Delegation confers primary responsibility for implementation and 
enforcement of the listed standards to the respective state and local 
air agencies. However, EPA also retains the authority to enforce the 
standards if it so desires.

What Is Being Delegated?

    Tables I, II, and III below list the delegated standards. The first 
date in each block is the reference date to the CFR contained in the 
state rule. In general, the state has adopted the applicable standard 
through this date as noted in the table. The second date is the most 
recent effective date of the state agency rule for which EPA is 
providing or updating the delegation.

What Is Not Being Delegated?

    1. EPA regulations effective after the first date specified in each 
block have not been delegated, and authority for implementation of 
these regulations is retained solely by EPA.
    2. In some cases, the standards themselves specify that specific 
provisions cannot be delegated. You should review the standard for this 
information.
    3. In some cases, the agency rules do not adopt the Federal 
standard in its entirety. Each agency rule (available from the 
respective agency) should be consulted for specific information.
    4. In some cases, existing delegation agreements between EPA and 
the agencies limit the scope of the delegated standards. Copies of 
delegation agreements are available from the state agencies, or from 
this office.
    5. With respect to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A, General Provisions 
(see Table III), EPA has determined that sections 63.6(g), 63.6(h)(9), 
63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 63.8(f), and 63.10(f) cannot be delegated. 
Additional information is contained in an EPA memorandum titled 
``Delegation of 40 CFR Part 63 General Provisions Authorities to State 
and Local Air Pollution Control Agencies' from John Seitz, Director, 
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, dated July 10, 1998.

Summary of This Action

    After a review of the submissions, the Regional Administrator 
determined that delegation was appropriate for the source categories 
with the conditions set forth in the original NSPS and NESHAP 
delegation agreements, and the limitations in all applicable 
regulations, including 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63.
    You should refer to the applicable agreements and regulations 
referenced above to determine specific provisions which are not 
delegated.
    All sources subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 
63 are also subject to the equivalent requirements of the above-
mentioned state or local agencies.
    EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they contain 
adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and 
enforcement of these Federal standards. This rule informs the public of 
delegations to the above-mentioned agencies.

I. What Are the Administrative Requirements Associated With This 
Document?

    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. Because the 
agency has made a ``good

[[Page 20760]]

cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment 
requirements under the APA or any other statute (see section I. of this 
document), 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) 
(Public Law 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. This rule also does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 
13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will 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 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), 
because it is not economically significant.
    This minor action 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. This rule 
also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice 
related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 
February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary 
steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential 
litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct, as 
required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 
1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 
15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in 
accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for 
the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued 
under the Executive Order. This rule does not impose an information 
collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et 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 
rule and other required information to the United States Senate, the 
United States House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of 
the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).

List of Subjects in 40 CFR Parts 460, 461 and 463

    Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Intergovernmental 
relations.

    Authority: This rule is issued under the authority of sections 
101, 110, 112, and 301 of the CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 7401, 7410, 
7412, and 7601).
