40 CFR Part 52

[FRL-8022-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Arkansas 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 the State of 
Arkansas that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The regulations affected by this update have 
been previously submitted by Arkansas and approved by EPA. This update 
affects the SIP materials that are available for public inspection at 
the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Air and 
Radiation Docket and Information Center located at EPA Headquarters in 
Washington, DC, and the EPA Regional Office.

DATES: This rule is effective on March 16, 2006.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials 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; the EPA, Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, 
Air Docket (Mail Code 6102T), 1200 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC 20460, and the National Archives and Records 
Administration (NARA). For information on the availability of this 
material at NARA, call 202-741-6030, or go to: http://www.archives.gov/federal_register/code_of_federal_regulations/ibr_locations.html.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Carl Young, Air Planning Section (6PD-
L), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross Avenue, Suite 
700, Dallas, Texas 75202-2733, telephone 214-665-6645; fax number 214-
665-7263, e-mail address [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each State has an extensive SIP containing 
the control measures and strategies--such as air pollution control 
regulations, emission inventories, monitoring networks, attainment 
demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms--used to attain and maintain 
the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
    Each State must formally adopt the control measures and strategies 
after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them and then 
must submit them to EPA for approval. 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 texts of a 
State's control measures and strategies approved by EPA are not 
reproduced in their entirety in 40 CFR part 52, but are ``incorporated 
by reference.'' This means that EPA has approved the identified State 
control measures and strategies, each with a specific effective date. 
The public is referred to the locations of the full text versions 
should they want to know which measures are contained in a given SIP. 
The information provided in 40 CFR part 52 allows EPA and the public to 
monitor a State's progress in implementing its SIP (and thus in 
attaining and maintaining the NAAQS) and to take enforcement action if 
necessary.
    The SIP is a living document that the State can revise as necessary 
to address the unique air pollution problems in the State. Therefore, 
to incorporate the State's revisions into the federally approved SIP, 
EPA from time to time must take action on SIP revisions containing new 
and/or revised measures. On May 22, 1997. (62 FR 27968), EPA revised 
the procedures for incorporating by reference federally approved SIPs 
into the Code of Federal Regulations. These procedural revisions 
changed the format for the identification of a SIP in 40 CFR part 52, 
revised the mechanisms for announcing EPA approval of revisions to an 
applicable SIP, and revised the mechanisms for EPA's updating of both 
the IBR document (or SIP compilation) and the CFR. The SIP compilations 
contain the full text of the federally approved materials (including 
regulations, source-specific permits, and nonregulatory provisions and 
quasi-regulatory measures) submitted by each State agency, whereas the 
``Identification of plan'' sections in 40 CFR part 52 merely identify 
the submitted materials incorporated by reference into the applicable 
SIP. Under the revised IBR procedures, EPA periodically publishes an 
informational document in the rules section of the Federal Register 
when updates are made to a State's SIP compilation. EPA's 1997 revised 
IBR procedures were formally applied to Arkansas on October 23, 1998 
(63 FR 56824).
    This action notifies the public of an update to the Arkansas SIP 
compilation, available for public inspection at the locations listed in 
the Addresses section of this Federal Register notice, and updates the 
Arkansas ``Identification of plan'' section, appearing in 40 CFR part 
52 (subpart E). The Arkansas SIP compilation, which consists of 
submitted materials incorporated by reference into the Arkansas SIP, is 
being updated to include EPA-approved revisions to Arkansas' SIP that 
have occurred since EPA's revised IBR procedures were applied to 
Arkansas on October 23, 1998 (63 FR 56824); specifically, the SIP 
compilation update includes revisions to Arkansas Regulation 19, 
Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution 
Control, which we approved on October 16, 2000 (65 FR 61103), and 
revisions to Arkansas Regulation 26, Regulations of the Arkansas 
Operating Permit Program, which we approved on October 9, 2001 (66 FR 
51312). These revisions have previously undergone notice and comment 
rulemaking and are, therefore, already in effect as a matter of law; 
thus this SIP compilation update does not affect the substance of those 
rulemaking actions nor does it change the rights or obligations of any 
party.

[[Page 13544]]

    The update to the Arkansas ``Identification of plan'' section (40 
CFR 52.170) is twofold: First, we are making changes in Sec.  52.170(b) 
to update the description of materials incorporated by reference and 
the location where the full text of those materials may be viewed for 
public inspection; and, second, we are making six ministerial 
corrections to the tables in Sec.  52.170(c) and (e). The corrections 
to the tables include the following: (1) All Federal Register citations 
in the tables in Sec.  52.170 are revised to cite the first page of the 
Federal Register action rather than the page of that action on which 
the amendatory language begins because EPA has revised its Federal 
Register citation practice to make electronic document searches easier; 
(2) in the Sec.  52.170(c) table, the Federal Register citation, which 
was inadvertently omitted in the original action, is added after the 
date in the EPA approval date entries for sections 26.501 and 26.602; 
(3) in the Sec.  52.170(c) table, the EPA approval date entries under 
the heading ``Arkansas Regulation No. 9: Permit Fees'', which 
previously provided the incorrect approval date of the Federal Register 
action, are corrected from `` 11/26/86'' to ``11/12/86''; (4) in the 
Sec.  52.170(c) table, the parts entitled ``Prevention of Significant 
Deterioration Supplement to the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air 
Pollution Control'' and ``Regulations for the Control of Volatile 
Organic Compounds'', which were made obsolete by EPA's approval of 
Arkansas SIP revisions on October 16, 2000 (65 FR 61103), but which we 
inadvertently retained in the October 16, 2000, action, are removed; 
(5) in the Sec.  52.170(e) table, under the heading ``EPA Approved 
Control Measures in the Arkansas SIP'', the entries for ``Air Quality 
Surveillance Network'' and ``Air Quality Surveillance Data Reporting'', 
which we neglected to consolidate in our October 23, 1998, action 
revising the format of 40 CFR part 52 (subpart E) (65 FR 61103), are 
now consolidated into a single entry titled ``Air Quality 
Surveillance'' as the first entry under that heading; and (6) in the 
Sec.  52.170(e) table, under the heading ``EPA Approved Control 
Measures in the Arkansas SIP'', the entry for ``Stack Height Negative 
Declaration'' is replaced with an entry for ``Good Engineering Practice 
Stack Height Regulations'' because we incorrectly identified the 
Negative Declaration as Arkansas' EPA-approved control measure 
concerning stack height when we applied the IBR revised procedures to 
Arkansas on October 23, 1998 (63 FR 56824). This CFR update, including 
all six ministerial corrections to the tables in 40 CFR 52.170(c) and 
(e), merely reflects previous EPA rulemaking actions; therefore, this 
update does not affect the substance of those actions nor does it 
change the rights or obligations of any party.
    EPA has determined that today's action falls under sections 
553(b)(3)(B) (the ``good cause'' exemption) and 553(d)(3) of the 
Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The ``good cause'' exemption 
authorizes an agency to dispense with public participation upon finding 
``good cause'' and section 553(d)(3) allows an agency to make an action 
effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective 
date otherwise provided for in the APA). Under section 553(b)(3)(B) of 
the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are 
``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' 
Public comment for today's administrative action, which updates a SIP 
compilation already in effect as a matter of law and updates CFR 
provisions already in effect as a matter of law, is ``unnecessary'' and 
``contrary to the public interest'' because the updates merely reflect 
existing law. Thus we find this constitutes good cause for making the 
updates final without prior proposal and opportunity for comment. 
Further, pursuant to APA section 553(d)(3), making today's action 
immediately effective benefits the public by immediately updating both 
the SIP compilation and the CFR ``Identification of plan'' section 
(which includes updating the description of materials incorporated by 
reference, correcting Federal Register citations, adding inadvertently 
omitted table entries, consolidating table entries, correcting table 
entries, and removing outdated citations).

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
administrative action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is 
therefore not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. 
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use,'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Because the 
agency has made a ``good cause'' finding that this action is not 
subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the Administrative 
Procedure Act or any other statute as indicated in the SUPPLEMENTARY 
INFORMATION section above, it is not subject to the regulatory 
flexibility provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
et seq.), or to sections 202 and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L. 104-4). In addition, this action does not 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a 
significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and 
204 of UMRA. This administrative action also does 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), nor will it 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 
administrative action also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 
FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant. 
This administrative action does not involve technical standards; 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 
administrative action also does not involve special consideration of 
environmental justice related issues as required by Executive Order 
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In this administrative action, 
EPA has taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and 
ambiguity, minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal 
standard for affected conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive 
Order 12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with 
Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the 
takings implications of this administrative action 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 administrative action does not impose an 
information collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). EPA's compliance with these Statutes and 
Executive Orders for the underlying rules is discussed in previous 
actions taken on the State's rules.

[[Page 13545]]

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    The Congressional Review Act (CRA) (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. Section 808(2) allows the issuing agency 
to make a rule effective sooner than otherwise provided by the CRA if 
the agency makes a good cause finding that notice and public procedure 
is impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. 
Today's administrative action simply updates and corrects provisions 
that are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and federally 
approved State programs. These announced actions were effective when 
EPA approved them through previous rulemaking actions. EPA will submit 
a report containing this action 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 this action in the 
Federal Register. Neither this update to Arkansas's SIP compilation nor 
this update to the Arkansas ``Identification of plan'' section in 40 
CFR part 52 is a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    EPA has also 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. This action is simply an announcement of 
prior rulemakings that have already undergone notice and comment 
rulemaking. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component 
of the Arkansas SIP compilation 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.
