authority for implementation and enforcement of NSPS and NESHAP. The 
submissions cover new EPA standards and, in some instances, revisions 
to standards previously delegated. The EPA's review of the pertinent 
regulations shows that they contain adequate and effective procedures 
for the implementation and enforcement of these Federal standards. This 
notice informs the public of delegations to the above-mentioned 
agencies.

Summary of this Action

     What does this document do?
    The EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for 
implementation and enforcement of the Federal standards shown in the 
tables below to the state and local air agencies in Region VII. This 
delegation notice updates the delegation tables most recently published 
at 40 FR 32033, June 12, 1997.
     What is the authority for delegation?
    1. Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes the EPA 
to delegate authority to any state agency which submits adequate 
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS 
program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR Part 60.
    2. Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR Part 63, subpart E, 
authorizes the EPA to delegate authority to any state or local agency 
which submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and 
enforcement of emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The 
hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR Parts 61 and 
63, respectively.
     What does delegation accomplish?
    Delegation confers primary responsibility for implementation and 
enforcement of the listed standards to the respective state and local 
air agencies. However, the EPA also retains the authority to enforce 
the standards if it so desires.
     What is being delegated?
    Tables I, II, and III below list the delegated standards. The first 
date in each block is the publication date of the CFR which contains 
the standard. The second date is the most recent effective date of the 
state agency rule for which the EPA is providing or updating the 
delegation.
     What is not being delegated?
    1. The EPA regulations effective after the first date specified in 
each block

[[Page 70676]]

have not been delegated, and authority for implementation of these 
regulations is retained solely by the EPA.
    2. In some cases, the standards themselves specify that specific 
provisions are not delegable. You should review the standard for this 
information.
    3. In some cases, the agency rules do not adopt the Federal 
standard in its entirety. Each agency rule (available from the 
respective agency) should be consulted for specific information.
    4. In some cases, existing delegation agreements between the EPA 
and the agencies limit the scope of the delegated standards. Copies of 
delegation agreements are available from the state agencies, or from 
this office.
    5. With respect to 40 CFR Part 63, subpart A, General Provisions 
(see Table III), the EPA has determined that Secs. 63.6(g), 63.6(h)(9), 
63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 63.8(f), and 63.10(f) cannot be delegated. 
Additional information is contained in an EPA memorandum titled 
``Delegation of 40 CFR Part 63 General Provisions Authorities to State 
and Local Air Pollution Control Agencies'' from John Seitz, Director, 
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, dated July 10, 1998.

     Summary of this action:
    After a review of the submissions, the Regional Administrator 
determined that delegation was appropriate for the source categories 
with the conditions set forth in the original NSPS and NESHAP 
delegation agreements, and the limitations in all applicable 
regulations, including 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 63.
    You should refer to the applicable agreements and regulations 
referenced above to determine specific provisions which are not 
delegated.
    All sources subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Parts 60, 61, and 
63 are also subject to the equivalent requirements of the above-
mentioned state or local agencies.
    The EPA's review of the pertinent regulations shows that they 
contain adequate and effective procedures for the implementation and 
enforcement of these Federal standards. This notice informs the public 
of delegations to the above mentioned agencies.
    Administrative statement:

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. E.O. 12875: Enhancing the Intergovernmental Partnership

    Under E.O. 12875, the 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, or the EPA consults with those governments. If the EPA 
complies by consulting, E.O. 12875 requires the EPA to provide to OMB a 
description of the extent of the EPA's prior consultation with 
representatives of affected state, local, and tribal governments, the 
nature of their concerns, copies of any written communications from the 
governments, and a statement supporting the need to issue the 
regulation. In addition, E.O. 12875 requires the 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. E.O. 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 E.O. 
12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health or safety risk that the 
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 
which may have a disproportionate effect on children.

D. E.O. 13084: Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal 
Governments

    Under E.O. 13084, the EPA may not issue a regulation that is not 
required by statute, that significantly 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, or the EPA consults with 
those governments. If the EPA complies by consulting, E.O. 13084 
requires the EPA to provide to OMB, in a separately identified section 
of the preamble to the rule, a description of the extent of the 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 the 
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. Accordingly, the requirements of section 
3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not apply to this rule.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act generally requires an agency to 
conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to notice 
and comment rulemaking requirements, unless the agency certifies that 
the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities. Small entities include small businesses, 
small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental jurisdictions. 
This final rule will not have a significant impact on a substantial 
number of small entities because State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the CAA do not 
create any new requirements but simply approve requirements that the 
state is already imposing. Therefore, because the Federal SIP approval 
does not create any new requirements, I certify that this action will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities. Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-state relationship 
under the CAA, preparation of flexibility analysis would constitute 
Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The 
CAA forbids the EPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such 
grounds. Union Electric Co., v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 
42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

F. Unfunded Mandates

    Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, the EPA

[[Page 70681]]

must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or 
final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated 
annual costs to state, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; 
or to private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, the 
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 the 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 annual 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 the 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 U.S. Comptroller General 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 rule 
is not a ``major'' rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

H. Petitions for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by February 22, 1999. 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).)

    Authority: This document is issued under the authority of 
sections 101, 110, 112, and 301 of the CAA, as amended (42 U.S.C. 
7401, 7410, 7412, and 7601).

    Dated: December 2, 1998.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region VII.
