Availability and Summary of 

Documents for Incorporation by 

Reference 

This document proposes to amend 

FAA Order JO 7400.11F, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021. FAA Order JO 

7400.11F is publicly available as listed 

in the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. FAA Order JO 7400.11F lists 

Class A, B, C, D, and E airspace areas, 

air traffic service routes, and reporting 

points. 

The Proposal 

The FAA proposes an amendment to 

14 CFR part 71 to amend Class E surface 

airspace and Class E airspace extending 

upward from 700 feet above the surface 

at Edward F. Knapp State Park, 

Montpelier, VT, due to the 

decommissioning of the Mount 

Mansfield NDB and cancellation of 

associated approaches. This action 

would amend the north and south 

extensions, and eliminate the southwest 

extension. This action would also 

remove the city name from the 

descriptions, and update the airport’s 

geographic coordinates to coincide with 

the FAA’s database. In addition, this 

action would remove all navigational 

aids from the Class E5 description, as 

they are not necessary. 

Class E airspace designations are 

published in Paragraphs 6002 and 6005, 

respectively, of FAA Order JO 7400.11F, 

dated August 10, 2021, and effective 

September 15, 2021, which is 

incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 

71.1. The Class E airspace designations 

listed in this document will be 

published subsequently in FAA Order 

JO 7400.11. 

FAA Order JO 7400.11, Airspace 

Designations and Reporting Points, is 

published yearly and effective on 

September 15. 

Regulatory Notices and Analyses 

The FAA has determined that this 

proposed regulation only involves an 

established body of technical 

regulations for which frequent and 

routine amendments are necessary to 

keep them operationally current. It, 

therefore: (1) Is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866; (2) is not a ‘‘significant 

rule’’ under DOT Regulatory Policies 

and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 

26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant 

preparation of a Regulatory Evaluation 

as the anticipated impact is so minimal. 

Since this is a routine matter that will 

only affect air traffic procedures and air 

navigation, it is certified that this 

proposed rule, when promulgated, will 

not have a significant economic impact 

on a substantial number of small entities 

under the criteria of the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act. 

Environmental Review 

This proposal will be subject to an 

environmental analysis in accordance 

with FAA Order 1050.1F, 

‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and 

Procedures’’, prior to any FAA final 

regulatory action.

On June 29, 2021, the submittal of the 

SDAPCD 2020 RACT SIP, with the 

exception of the negative declaration for 

the CTG for the Oil and Natural Gas 

Industry (EPA–453/B–16–001, 2016/10), 

was deemed by operation of law to meet 

the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 

51 Appendix V, which must be met 

before formal EPA review.2

B. Are there other versions of this 

document? 

There are no previous versions of the 

negative declarations listed in Table 1 in 

the SDAPCD portion of the California 

SIP for the 2008 or 2015 ozone NAAQS. 

C. What is the purpose of the negative 

declarations? 

Emissions of volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) contribute to the 

production of ground-level ozone, smog, 

and particulate matter (PM), which 

harm human health and the 

environment. Section 110(a) of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states to 

submit regulations that control VOC and 

NOX emissions. CAA section 182(b)(2) 

requires states to submit SIP revisions to 

implement reasonably available control 

technology (RACT) for, among other 

things, each category of VOC sources in 

the nonattainment areas covered by 

Control Technique Guidelines (CTGs). 

SDAPCD is subject to this requirement 

as it regulates the San Diego County 

2008 and 2015 ozone nonattainment 

areas (NAAs) classified as ‘‘Severe.’’ 3 In 

lieu of adopting local regulations to 

implement a CTG, air agencies must 

adopt a negative declaration if the 

nonattainment area has no sources 

covered by a CTG.4 SDAPCD’s submittal 

of negative declarations is the District’s 

certification that there are no sources 

covered by the CTGs. 

On December 3, 2020 (85 FR 77996), 

the EPA partially approved and partially 

disapproved SDAPCD’s RACT 

demonstrations for the 2008 8-hr ozone 

national ambient air quality standards 

(NAAQS) (also referred to as the ‘‘2016 

RACT SIP’’).5 Specifically, the EPA 

found that certain CTG categories were 

not addressed by either a negative 

declaration or a RACT rule. 

II. The EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is the EPA evaluating the 

negative declarations? 

Generally, CAA section 110(a)(2)(A) 

requires SIPs to ‘‘include enforceable

emission limitations and other control 

measures, means, or techniques . . . as 

may be necessary or appropriate to meet 

the applicable requirements of [the 

CAA],’’ and SIPs must be consistent 

with the requirements of CAA sections 

110(l) and 193. SIPs must also require 

RACT for each category of sources 

covered by a CTG document and each 

major source in ozone nonattainment 

areas classified as Moderate or above 

(see CAA sections 182(b)(2) and (f)). 

States should also submit, for SIP 

approval, negative declarations for those 

source categories for which they have 

not adopted CTG-based regulations 

(because they have no sources above the 

CTG-recommended applicability 

threshold), regardless of whether such 

negative declarations were made for an 

earlier SIP.6 To do so, the submittal 

should provide reasonable assurance 

that no sources subject to the CTG 

requirements currently exist in the 

portion of the ozone nonattainment area 

that is regulated by the SDAPCD. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to evaluate CAA section 182 

RACT requirements include the 

following: 

1. ‘‘State Implementation Plans; 

General Preamble for the 

Implementation of Title I of the Clean 

Air Act Amendments of 1990,’’ 57 FR

B. Do the negative declarations meet the 

evaluation criteria? 

The submittal contains the District’s 

certification that there are no sources 

within the 2008 or 2015 ozone 

nonattainment areas under District 

jurisdiction that are subject to the CTGs 

listed in Table 1. The District based its 

certifications on reviews of permit files 

and emission inventories. We accessed 

CARB databases and performed internet 

searches and did not find indications 

that any sources exist for which the 

CTGs would apply. 

The EPA’s technical support 

document (TSD) for this action has more 

information about the District’s 

submittal and the EPA’s evaluation 

thereof. 

C. Public Comment and Proposed 

Action 

We propose to approve the negative 

declarations listed in Table 1, as 

submitted by CARB on December 29, 

2020. We also propose that these 

negative declarations remedy the 

deficiencies for the following CTGs 

identified in our partial disapproval of 

the 2016 RACT SIP: Control of Volatile 

Organic Emissions from Manufacture of 

Synthesized Pharmaceutical Products 

(EPA–450/2–78–029); Control 

Techniques Guidelines for Fiberglass 

Boat Manufacturing Materials (EPA– 

453/R–08–004); and Control of Volatile 

Organic Emissions from Miscellaneous 

Metal and Plastic Parts Coatings (EPA– 

453/R–08–003); Table 3—Plastic Parts 

and Products, Table 4—Automotive/ 

Transportation and Business Machine 

Plastic Parts, Table 5—Pleasure Craft 

Surface Coating, Table 6—Motor 

Vehicle Materials. We will accept 

comments from the public on the 

proposed approval for the next 30 days. 

III. 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 proposed action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting federal requirements and does 

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 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• Does not provide the EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, 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 the 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).

Determinations of Attainment by the 

Attainment Date, Extension of the 

Attainment Date, and Reclassification 

of Areas Classified as Serious for the 

2008 Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes three actions 

pursuant to section 181(b)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) related to seven 

areas classified as ‘‘Serious’’ for the 

2008 ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS). First, the 

Agency proposes to determine that one 

area attained the 2008 ozone NAAQS by 

the July 20, 2021, attainment date. 

Second, the Agency proposes to deny a 

request for a 1-year attainment date 

extension for one area and to determine 

that the area failed to attain the 2008 

ozone NAAQS by the attainment date, 

while also taking comment on granting 

that request. Third, the Agency proposes 

to determine that five areas failed to 

attain the 2008 ozone NAAQS by the 

attainment date and do not qualify for 

a 1-year attainment date extension.. The 

effect of failing to attain by the 

attainment date is that such areas will 

be reclassified by operation of law to 

‘‘Severe’’ upon the effective date of the 

final reclassification notice. Except for 

one separate tribal area, states will need 

to submit state implementation plan 

(SIP) revisions that meet the statutory 

and regulatory requirements for any 

areas reclassified as Severe for the 2008 

ozone NAAQS. The EPA proposes 

deadlines for submission of those SIP 

revisions and for implementation of the 

related control requirements. 

Additionally, for any areas reclassified 

as Severe, where not already prohibited, 

the CAA would prohibit the sale of 

conventional gasoline and require that 

federal reformulated gasoline instead be 

sold beginning 1 year after the effective 

date of the reclassification. This action, 

when finalized, will fulfill the EPA’s 

statutory obligation to determine 

whether ozone nonattainment areas 

attained the NAAQS by the attainment 

date and to publish a document in the 

Federal Register identifying each area 

that is determined as having failed to 

attain and identifying the 

reclassification. Several areas included 

in this proposed rule are also addressed 

in a separate rulemaking to determine 

whether areas classified as ‘‘Marginal’’ 

for the 2015 ozone NAAQS attained the 

standard by the applicable attainment 

date of August 3, 2021 (see Docket ID 

EPA–HQ–OAR–2021–0742).
