ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[ARK-6-1-7364; FRL-6176-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Arkansas; Revised Format for Materials Being Incorporated by Reference

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; administrative change.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is revising the format of 40 Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) part 52, Subpart E for materials submitted by 
Arkansas that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the State 
Implementation Plans (SIPs). The regulations affected by this format 
change have all been previously submitted by the respective State 
agency and approved by EPA. This format revision will primarily affect 
the ``Identification of plan'' sections of 40 CFR 52.170, as well as 
the format of the SIP materials that will be available for public 
inspection at the EPA Region 6 office, the Air and Radiation Docket and 
Information Center located in Waterside Mall, Washington, DC., and the 
Office of the Federal Register. The sections of 40 CFR 52.170 
pertaining to provisions promulgated by EPA or State-submitted 
materials not subject to IBR review and 40 CFR 52.171 through 52.183 
remain unchanged. The EPA has determined that good cause exists for 
issuing this rule without public comment.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective October 23, 1998.

ADDRESSES: The SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 
40 CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations:

Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 700, 
Dallas, Texas 75202-2733;
Office of Air and Radiation, Docket and Information Center (Air 
Docket), EPA, 401 M Street, SW, Room M1500, Washington, DC 20460; and
Office of the Federal Register, 800 North Capitol Street, NW, Suite 
700, Washington, DC.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Paul Scoggins, Air Planning 
Section (6PD-L) at the above Region 6 address or at (214) 665-7354.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    Each State is required by section 110(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act 
(ACT), to

[[Page 56825]]

have a SIP that contains the control measures and strategies which will 
be used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality 
standards. The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as emission 
inventories, monitoring network, attainment demonstrations, and 
enforcement mechanisms. The control measures and strategies must be 
formally adopted by each State after the public has had an opportunity 
to comment on them. They are then submitted to EPA as SIP revisions on 
which EPA must formally act.
    Once these control measures are approved by EPA pursuant to 110(k) 
of the Act, after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the 
SIP and are identified in part 52 (Approval and Promulgation of 
Implementation Plans), 40 CFR. The actual State regulations which are 
approved by EPA are not reproduced in their entirety in 40 CFR part 52, 
but are ``incorporated by reference,'' which means that the citation of 
a given State regulation with a specific effective date has been 
approved by EPA. This format allows both EPA and the public to know 
which measures are contained in a given SIP and ensures that the State 
is enforcing the regulations. It also allows EPA to take enforcement 
action or the public to bring citizen suits, should a State not enforce 
its SIP-approved regulations.
    The SIP is an active or changing document which can be revised by 
the State, as necessary, to address the unique air pollution problems 
in the State as long as changes are not contrary to Federal law. 
Therefore, EPA, from time to time, must take action to incorporate into 
the SIP, revisions of the State program which may contain new and/or 
revised regulations. Regulations approved into the SIP are then 
incorporated by reference into part 52. As a result of consultations 
between EPA and the Office of Federal Register, EPA revised the 
procedures on May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), for incorporating by 
reference federally-approved SIPs and began the process of developing, 
pursuant to 110(h)(1) of the Act: 1), a revised SIP document for each 
State that would be incorporated by reference under the provisions of 1 
CFR part 51; 2) a revised mechanism for announcing EPA approval of 
revisions to an applicable SIP and updating both the IBR document and 
the CFR; and 3) a revised format of the ``Identification of plan'' 
sections for each applicable subpart to reflect these revised IBR 
procedures. 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.

Content of Revised IBR Document

    The new SIP compilations contain the federally-approved portion of 
State regulations and source specific permits submitted by each State 
agency. These regulations and source-specific permits have all been 
approved by EPA through previous rulemaking actions in the Federal 
Register. The SIP compilations are stored in 3-ring binders and will be 
updated on an annual basis.
    If no significant changes are made for any State to the SIP during 
the year, an update will not be made during that year. If significant 
changes occur during the year, an update could be done on a more 
frequent basis, as applicable. Typically, only the revised sections of 
the compilation will be updated. Complete resubmittals of a State SIP 
compilation will be done on an as-needed basis.
    Each compilation contains two parts. Part 1 contains the 
regulations and Part 2 contains the source-specific permits that have 
been approved as part of the SIP. Each part has a table of contents 
identifying each regulation or each source specific permit. The table 
of contents in the compilation corresponds to the table of contents 
published in 40 CFR part 52 for these States. The regional EPA offices 
have the primary responsibility for ensuring accuracy and updating the 
compilations. The Region 6 EPA Office developed and will maintain the 
compilations for Arkansas. A copy of the full text of the State's 
current compilation will also be maintained at the Office of Federal 
Register and EPA's Air Docket and Information Center.
    The EPA is beginning the phasing in of SIP compilations for 
individual States, and expects to complete the conversion of the 
revised ``Identification of plan'' format and IBR documentation for all 
states by May 1999. This revised format is consistent with the SIP 
compilation requirements of section 110(h)(1) of the Act.

Revised Format of the ``Identification of Plan'' Sections in Each 
Subpart

    In order to better serve the public, EPA is revising the 
organization of the ``Identification of plan'' section of 40 CFR 
section 52.170. The EPA is including additional information which will 
more clearly identify the provisions that constitute the enforceable 
elements of the SIP.
    The revised ``Identification of plan'' section will contain five 
subsections: (a) Purpose and scope, (b) Incorporation by reference, (c) 
EPA approved regulations, (d) EPA approved source-specific permits, and 
(e) EPA approved nonregulatory provisions, such as transportation 
control measures, statutory provisions, control strategies, monitoring 
networks, etc.

Enforceability and Legal Effect

    This change to the procedures for incorporation by reference 
announced today will not alter in any way the enforceability or legal 
effect of approved SIP materials, including both those approved in the 
past or to be approved in the future. As of the effective date of the 
final rule approving a SIP revision, all provisions identified in the 
Federal Register document announcing the SIP approval will be federally 
enforceable, both by EPA under section 113 of the Act and by citizens 
under section 304 of the Act, where applicable. All revisions to the 
applicable SIP are federally enforceable as of the effective date of 
EPA approval even if they have not yet been incorporated by reference. 
To facilitate enforcement of previously approved SIP provisions and 
provide a smooth transition to the new SIP processing system, EPA is 
retaining the original ``Identification of Plan'' section, previously 
appearing in the CFR as the first or second section of part 52 for each 
State subpart.

Notice of Administrative Change

    Today's action constitutes a ``housekeeping'' exercise to ensure 
that federally approved State plans are accurately reflected in 40 CFR 
part 52. State SIP revisions are controlled by EPA Regulations at 40 
CFR part 51. When EPA receives a formal SIP revision request, the 
Agency must publish the proposed revision in the Federal Register and 
provide for public comment before approval.
    The 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 since the codification only 
reflects existing law. Immediate revision to the CFR benefits the 
public by removing outdated citations.

Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order (E.O.) 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from E.O. 12866, entitled ``Regulatory Planning and 
Review.''

B. Executive Order 12875

    Under E.O. 12875, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
required by statute and that creates a mandate upon a state, local, or 
tribal government, unless the Federal government provides the funds 
necessary to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those 
governments. If the mandate is unfunded, EPA must provide to the Office 
of Management and Budget a description of the extent of EPA's prior 
consultation with representatives of affected state, local, and tribal 
governments, the nature of their concerns, copies of written 
communications from the governments, and a statement supporting the 
need to issue the regulation. In addition, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to 
develop an effective process permitting elected officials and other 
representatives of state, local, and tribal governments ``to provide 
meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory proposals 
containing significant unfunded mandates.'' Today's rule does not 
create a mandate on state, local, or tribal governments. The rule does 
not impose any enforceable duties on these entities. Accordingly, the 
requirements of section 1(a) of E.O. 12875 do not apply to this rule.

C. Executive Order 13045

    Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies to any rule that: (1) is 
determined to be ``economically significant'' as defined under 
Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health or 
safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may have a disproportionate 
effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the 
Agency must evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the 
planned rule on children, and explain why the planned regulation is 
preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible 
alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 because it does not involve 
decisions intended to mitigate environmental health or safety risks.

D. Executive Order 13084

    Under E.O. 13084, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
required by statute, that significantly affects or uniquely affects the 
communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial 
direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal 
government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance 
costs incurred by the tribal governments. If the mandate is unfunded, 
EPA must provide to the Office of Management and Budget, in separately 
identified section of the preamble to the rule, a description of the 
extent of EPA's prior consultation with representatives of affected 
tribal governments, a summary of the nature of their concerns, and a 
statement supporting the need to issue the regulation. In addition, 
E.O. 13084 requires EPA to develop an effective process permitting 
elected officials and other representatives of Indian tribal 
governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in the development 
of regulatory policies on matters that significantly or uniquely affect 
their communities.'' Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely 
affect the communities of Indian tribal governments. This action does 
not involve or impose any requirements that affect Indian tribes. 
Accordingly, the requirements of section 3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not 
apply to this rule.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA 
must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of 
any proposed or final rule on small entities, 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604. 
Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a 
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small 
entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, 
and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than 
50,000.
    The regulations affected by this format change to 40 CFR part 52 
have all been previously submitted by the respective State agency and 
approved by EPA. Therefore, the Regional Administrator certifies that 
there is no significant impact on any small entities affected.

F. Unfunded Mandates

    Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must prepare a budgetary impact 
statement to accompany any proposed or final rule that includes a 
Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs to State, local, or 
tribal governments in the aggregate; or to private sector, of $100 
million or more. Under section 205, EPA must select the most cost-
effective and least burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives 
of the rule and is consistent with statutory requirements. Section 203 
requires EPA to establish a plan for informing and advising any small 
governments that may be significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    The EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does 
not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of 
$100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in 
the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action approves 
preexisting requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new 
requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or 
tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action.

G. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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 Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United 
States. The 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 its published in the Federal Register. 
This rule is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

H. Judicial Review

    The EPA has determined that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of 
the Clean Air Act pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not 
applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions approving each 
individual component of Arkansas SIP compilations had previously 
afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for 
judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the 
appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA 
sees no need in this action to provide an additional opportunity for 
judicial review.
