ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[KY-200404(c); FRL-7636-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Kentucky Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference; Technical
Correction
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule; technical correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On January 12, 2004, at 69 FR 1677, EPA published a final rule
updating the materials incorporated by reference (IBR) into the
Kentucky State Implementation Plan (SIP). This document corrects two
errors in the amendatory language in the final rule.
DATES: This correction is effective April 9, 2004.
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 4, 61 Forsyth Street, SW.,
Atlanta, GA 30303; Office of Air and Radiation Docket and Information
Center, Room B-108, 1301 Constitution Avenue, (Mail Code 6102T) NW.,
Washington, DC 20460; and Office of the Federal Register, 800 North
Capitol Street, NW., Suite 700, Washington, DC.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michele Notarianni at the above Region
4 address, by phone at (404) 562-9031, or via e-mail at:
notarianni.michele@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA published a document on January 12,
2004, (69 FR 1677) which inadvertently excluded paragraph (e) from the
list of paragraphs amended in 40 CFR 52.920 under Subpart S-Kentucky.
The document also did not clearly state that only ``Table 1-EPA-
Approved Kentucky Regulations'' of paragraph (c) was to be replaced in
its entirety, leaving ``Table 2-EPA-Approved Jefferson County
Regulations for Kentucky'' intact. As a result, Table 2 was
inadvertently removed from paragraph (c).
This document corrects the erroneous amendatory language and
reinstates Table 2 in its entirety. By this action, the amendatory
instructions are replaced in their entirety in the final rule published
on January 12, 2004, at 69 FR 1677, on page 1678 in the third column,
number 2 of Subpart S, Part 52. These amended instructions include
paragraph (e) as one of the paragraphs revised in this IBR update to
the Kentucky SIP and specify that Table 2 is to be reinstated under
paragraph (c). The only change made to Table 2 is a clarification to
the rule publication dates in two instances. Under the column, ``EPA
approval date,'' all rule effective date entries of ``11/23/01'' and
``12/19/02'' are replaced with the rule publication dates of ``10/23/
01'' and ``11/19/02,'' respectively. This change is consistent with
other entries of this type in the table and makes it easier for the
public to reference the respective documents. Also, one correction was
made to the title of Regulation 8.03 to insert the word
``Requirements'' as follows: ``Commuter Vehicle Testing Requirements.''
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,
[[Page 18816]]
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 June 8, 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).)
