compliance costs incurred by the tribal 

governments or the agency consults 

with tribal officials early in the process 

of developing the proposed regulation. 

This action will not significantly affect 

any Indian tribe. As indicated above, 

North Dakota is not authorized to 

implement its pretreatment program in 

Indian country. The EPA will continue 

to administer the existing pretreatment 

program in Indian country in North 

Dakota. 

Executive Order 13132—Federalism 

Executive Order 13132, entitled 

‘‘Federalism,’’ dated August 10, 1999 

(64 FR 43255), requires the EPA to 

develop an accountable process to 

ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by 

State and local officials in the 

development of regulatory policies that 

have federalism implications.’’ The 

phrase ‘‘policies that have federalism 

implications’’ is defined in the 

Executive Order to include regulations 

that have ‘‘substantial direct effects on 

States, on the relationship between the 

National Government and States, or on 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government.’’ This action does 

not have federalism implications. It will 

not have any substantial direct effects 

on the states, on the relationship 

between States and the National 

Government, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities among the 

various levels of government, as 

specified in Executive Order 13132. It 

will merely put in place a state 

regulatory program that is identical to 

the existing federal program. 

Executive Order 13211—Energy Effects 

Because it is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under Executive 

Order 12866, this action is not subject 

to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations that 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use,’’ 66 FR 28355 (May 

22, 2001).
