Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 24, 2007 / Proposed Rules 60307 

Budget. For this reason, this action is 

also not subject to Executive Order 

13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations 

That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

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

22, 2001)). This action merely proposes 

to approve state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Redesignation of an area to 

attainment under section 107(d)(3)(e) of 

the CAA does not impose any new 

requirements on small entities. 

Redesignation is an action that affects 

the status of a geographical area and 

does not impose any new regulatory 

requirements on sources. Redesignation 

of an area to attainment under section 

107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA does not impose 

any new requirements on small entities. 

Redesignation is an action that affects 

the status of a geographical area and 

does not impose any new regulatory 

requirements on sources. Accordingly, 

the Administrator certifies that this 

proposed rule will not have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities under the 

Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 

et seq.). Because this rule proposes to 

approve pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). Because this action 

affects the status of a geographical area 

or allows the state to avoid adopting or 

implementing other requirements and 

because this action does not impose any 

new requirements on sources, this 

proposed rule also does not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor 

will it 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), because it merely 

proposes to approve a state rule 

implementing a Federal requirement, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the CAA. 

This proposed rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it approves a 

state rule implementing a Federal 

standard. 

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. In this context, in the absence 

of a prior existing requirement for the 

State to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a SIP submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, 

to use VCS in place of a SIP submission 

that otherwise satisfies the provisions of 

the CAA. Redesignation is an action that 

affects the status of a geographical area 

and does not impose any new 

requirements on sources. 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. As required by 

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 

FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing 

this proposed 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. 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, proposing to approve the 

redesignation of the York Area to 

attainment for the 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS, the associated maintenance 

plan, the 2002 base-year inventory, and 

the MVEBs identified in the 

maintenance plan, does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Comment Period Extension 

On August 23, 2007, TSA published 

a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NPRM) on the Secure Flight Program 

(see 72 FR 48356, August 23, 2007). The 

NPRM had a 60-day comment period 

that would end on October 22, 2007. In 

a request dated September 28, 2007, the 

Air Transport Association of America 

(ATA) requested that the deadline for 

filing comments on the Secure Flight 

NPRM be extended from October 22, 

2007 to December 21, 2007. In a request 

dated October 4, 2007, the International 

Air Transport Association (IATA) 

similarly requested that the deadline for 

filing comments on the Secure Flight 

NPRM be extended until January 21, 

2008. 

TSA has decided to grant, in part, 

ATA and IATA’s requests for an 

extension and will extend the comment 

period for thirty (30) days. The 

comment period will now be a total of 

90 days and will end on November 21, 

2007. This extension will allow the 

aviation industry and other interested 

entities and individuals additional time 

to complete their comments on the 

NPRM. 

With this extension, the comment 

period for the Secure Flight NPRM will 

be the same as the comment period that 

U.S. Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) provided for the NPRM on 

Passenger Manifests for Commercial 

Aircraft Arriving in and Departing From 

the United States; Passenger and Crew 

Manifests for Commercial Vessels 

Departing From the United States (‘‘PreDeparture APIS’’). 71 FR 43681 (Aug. 

23, 2006) (extending the original 

comment period from 30 days to 90 

days). As discussed in the Secure Flight 

NPRM, the Pre-Departure APIS 

rulemaking is related to the Secure 

Flight NPRM in that together, the two 

rulemakings explain the Department of 

Homeland Security’s (DHS’) proposed 

unified approach to watchlist matching 

for international and domestic 

passenger flights.
