ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[NE-193-1193; FRL-7592-1]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Nebraska Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is updating the materials submitted by Nebraska that are 
incorporated by reference (IBR) into the state implementation plan 
(SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously 
submitted by the state agency and approved by EPA. This update affects 
the SIP materials that are available for public inspection at the 
Office of the Federal Register (OFR), Office of Air and Radiation 
Docket and Information Center, and the Regional Office.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective December 1, 2003.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region VII, 901 North 5th Street, 
Kansas City, Kansas 66101; Office of Air and Radiation Docket and 
Information Center, Room B-108, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW (Mail Code 
6102T), Washington, DC 20460, and Office of the Federal Register, 800 
North Capitol Street NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Evelyn VanGoethem at (913) 551-7659, or by e-mail at vangoethem.evelyn@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is a living document which the state 
can revise as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in 
the state. Therefore, EPA from time to time

[[Page 67046]]

must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised 
regulations as being part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), 
EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference Federally-
approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between EPA and the Office 
of Federal Register (OFR). The description of the revised SIP document, 
IBR procedures and ``Identification of plan'' format are discussed in 
further detail in the May 22, 1997, Federal Register document.
    On February 12, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 7091) beginning the new IBR procedure for Nebraska. 
Today EPA is updating the IBR material.
    EPA is also making minor corrections to the table in Sec.  
52.1420(c) as follows:
    On February 14, 1996 (61 FR 5701), EPA approved and incorporated by 
reference revisions to Lincoln-Lancaster County Air Pollution Control 
Program, Article 2, Section 9. We are correcting the state effective 
date for Section 9, Article 2 to reflect that previous approval.
    On February 14, 1996 (61 FR 5701), EPA approved and incorporated by 
reference revisions to City of Omaha, Chapter 41, Article IV, for 41-
61. We are correcting the entries for 41-61 to reflect that previous 
approval.
    EPA has determined that today's rule falls under the ``good cause'' 
exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedures Act 
(APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to 
dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows 
an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 
30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). 
Today's rule simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as 
a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs. Under section 
553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are 
``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' 
Public comment is ``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public 
interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate 
notice in the CFR benefits the public by updating citations.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and 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 approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes 
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this 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 approves 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).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will 
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). This action also does not have Federalism 
implications because it does 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 action merely approves a state rule 
implementing a Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or 
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean 
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045, 
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically 
significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 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 Clean Air Act. 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 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 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 U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by January 30, 2004. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule 
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial 
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial 
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such 
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings 
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
