Revised Format for Materials Being Incorporated by Reference for 
Vermont

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; notice of administrative change.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is revising the format of 40 CFR part 52 for materials 
submitted by the State of Vermont that are incorporated by reference 
(IBR) into its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The regulations 
affected by this format change have all been previously submitted by 
the state agency and approved by EPA.

EFFECTIVE DATE: This action is effective September 8, 2000.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: 
Environmental Protection Agency, EPA-New England, One Congress Street, 
Boston, MA 02203; Office of Air and Radiation, Docket and Information 
Center (Air Docket), Environmental Protection Agency, 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. Donald O. Cooke, Environmental 
Scientist, at the above EPA-New England address or at (617) 918-1668.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This format revision will affect the 
``Identification of Plan'' section of 40 CFR part 52, as well as the 
format of the SIP materials that will be available for public 
inspection at the Office of the Federal Register (OFR); the Air and 
Radiation Docket and Information Center located in Waterside Mall, 
Washington, DC; and the EPA--New England Office. The sections of 40 CFR 
part 52 pertaining to provisions promulgated by EPA or state-submitted 
materials not subject to IBR review remain unchanged.

Description of a SIP

    Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies 
used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards 
(NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air 
pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring 
network, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.

How EPA Enforces SIPs

    Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies 
in the SIP 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 and strategies are approved by EPA, 
after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the Federally 
approved SIP and are identified in part 52 (Approval and Promulgation 
of Implementation Plans), Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(40 CFR part 52). The full text of the state regulation approved by EPA 
is not

[[Page 54414]]

reproduced in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but is ``IBR.'' This 
means that EPA has approved a given state regulation with a specific 
effective date. The public is referred to the location of the full text 
version should they want to know which measures are contained in a 
given SIP. (Where you can find a copy of the SIP compilation.) The 
information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to 
which a state implements the SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and 
to take enforcement action if necessary.

How the State and EPA Updates the SIP

    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 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 OFR.
    EPA began the process of developing: (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.

How EPA Compiles the SIPs

    The Federally approved regulations and source-specific permits 
submitted by Vermont have been organized by EPA into a SIP compilation 
that contains the updated regulations and source-specific permits 
approved by EPA through previous rulemaking actions in the Federal 
Register. The compilations are contained in three-ring binders and will 
be updated, primarily on an annual basis. The nonregulatory provisions 
are available by contacting Donald Cooke at EPA--New England.

How EPA Organizes the SIP Compilation

    Each compilation contains three parts. Part one contains the state 
regulations, part two contains the source-specific requirements that 
have been approved as part of the SIP, and part three contains 
nonregulatory provisions that have been EPA-approved. Each part 
consists of a table of identifying information for each regulation, 
each source-specific permit, and each nonregulatory provision. The 
effective dates in the tables indicate the date of the most recent 
revision of the regulation. The table of identifying information in the 
compilation corresponds to the table of contents published in 40 CFR 
part 52 for the state. The regional EPA Offices have the primary 
responsibility for ensuring accuracy and updating the compilations.

Where You Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation

    EPA--New England developed and will maintain the compilation for 
Vermont. A copy of the full text of the state's current compilation 
will also be maintained at the OFR and EPA's Air Docket and Information 
Center.

The Format of the New Identification of Plan Section

    In order to better serve the public, EPA revised the organization 
of the ``Identification of Plan'' section and included additional 
information to clarify the enforceable elements of the SIP.
    The revised Identification of Plan section contains five 
subsections:
    1. Purpose and scope
    2. Incorporation by reference
    3. EPA-approved regulations
    4. EPA-approved source-specific permits
    5. EPA-approved nonregulatory provisions such as transportation 
control measures, statutory provisions, control strategies, monitoring 
networks, etc.

When a SIP Revision Becomes Federally Enforceable

    All revisions to the applicable SIP become Federally enforceable as 
of the effective date of the revisions to paragraphs (c) or (d) of the 
applicable Identification of Plan section found in each subpart of 40 
CFR part 52.

The Historical Record of SIP Revision Approvals

    To facilitate enforcement of previously approved SIP provisions and 
provide a smooth transition to the new SIP processing system, EPA 
retains the original Identification of Plan section, previously 
appearing in the CFR as the first or second section of part 52 for each 
state subpart. After an initial two-year period, EPA will review its 
experience with the new system and its ability to enforce previously 
approved SIP measures, and will decide whether or not to retain the 
Identification of Plan appendices for some further period.

What EPA Is Doing in This Action

    Today's action constitutes a ``housekeeping'' exercise to ensure 
that all revisions to the state programs that have occurred 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.
    EPA has determined that today's action 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 action 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 removing outdated 
citations.

How This Document Complies With the Federal Administrative 
Requirements for Rulemaking

A. General Requirements

    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. 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). For

[[Page 54415]]

the same reason, this rule also does not significantly or uniquely 
affect the communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive 
Order 13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will 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), 
because it 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 (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. As required by section 3 
of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing 
this 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 does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.).

B. 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. 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).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 for each 
individual component of the Vermont SIP compilation 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 reopen the 60-day period for filing such 
petitions for judicial review for this ``Identification of plan'' 
reorganization action.
