Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 119 / Wednesday, June 22, 2022 / Proposed Rules 37287 

made in Tables 3, 4, 5, and 6 above for 

CO demonstrates that the removal of the 

I/M program from all three counties will 

not interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the CO NAAQS. In 

North Carolina’s December 14, 2020, SIP 

revision, the State concluded that the 

removal of Lee, Onslow, and 

Rockingham counties from the 

expanded I/M program would not 

interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the CO NAAQS. 

MOVES2014(b) mobile emissions 

modeling results show a slight increase 

in CO emissions for each of the three 

counties of 1.4 tpd (Lee County), 2.74 

tpd (Onslow County), and 1.64 tpd 

(Rockingham County)—5.78 tpd total for 

all three counties when comparing 

emissions with and without the I/M 

program in 2022. This increase is not 

expected to interfere with continued 

attainment of the CO NAAQS in any of 

the three counties or adjacent counties, 

particularly because the three-county 

total CO emissions in 2022 without I/M 

is 18.66 tpd less than the total CO 

emissions in 2017. Furthermore, 

statewide, the current ambient air 

quality levels for CO are less than 20 

percent of the CO NAAQS. For these 

reasons, EPA proposes to find that 

removal of Lee, Onslow, and 

Rockingham counties from the SIPapproved I/M program would not 

interfere with maintenance of the CO 

NAAQS in the State. 

IV. Proposed Action 

For the reasons explained above, EPA 

is proposing to approve North Carolina’s 

December 14, 2020, SIP revision. 

Specifically, EPA is proposing to 

approve the removal of Lee, Onslow, 

and Rockingham counties from the SIPapproved expanded I/M program. 

Additionally, EPA is proposing to find 

that North Carolina’s removal of Lee, 

Onslow, and Rockingham counties from 

the SIP-approved expanded I/M 

program (and the removal of reliance on 

the additional I/M emissions reductions 

generated for the NOX Budget and 

Allowance Trading Program) will not 

interfere with the State’s obligations 

under the NOX SIP Call to meet its 

Statewide NOX emissions budget. In 

addition, EPA is also proposing to find 

that the removal of Lee, Onslow, and 

Rockingham counties from the SIPapproved—I/M program will not 

interfere with continued attainment or 

maintenance of any applicable NAAQS 

or with any other applicable 

requirement of the CAA, and that North 

Carolina has satisfied the requirements 

of section 110(l) of the CAA. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

See 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 they meet the criteria of the 

CAA. This 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 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). 

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 as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it impose substantial 

direct costs on tribal governments or 

preempt tribal law.

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/ 

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing receipt of 

pesticide petitions filed under section 

408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 174 or part 180 for residues of 

pesticide chemicals in or on various 

food commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the requests before 

responding to the petitioners. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petitions described in this 

document contain data or information 

prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 

21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however, EPA has 

not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether 

the data supports granting of the 

pesticide petitions. After considering 

the public comments, EPA intends to 

evaluate whether and what action may 

be warranted. Additional data may be 

needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on these pesticide 

petitions. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), 

summaries of the petitions that are the 

subject of this document, prepared by 

the petitioners, are included in dockets 

EPA has created for these rulemakings. 

The dockets for these petitions are 

available at https://

www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petitions so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on these requests for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petitions may be 

obtained through the petition 

summaries referenced in this unit.
