40 CFR Part 52

[R08-ND-2008-0001; FRL-8892-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
North Dakota; 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 North Dakota that 
are incorporated by reference (IBR) into the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously 
submitted by the Governor of North Dakota 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 Regional Office.

DATES: Effective Date: This action is effective April 21, 2009.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 52 are available for inspection Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. 
to 4 p.m., excluding federal holidays, at the Air Program, 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, 
Denver, Colorado 80202-1129. EPA requests that, if at all possible, you 
contact the individual listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT 
section to arrange a time to view the hard copy of the North Dakota SIP 
compilation. An electronic copy of the North Dakota regulations we have 
approved for incorporation into the SIP are also available by accessing 
http://www.epa.gov/region8/air/sip.html. A hard copy of the regulatory 
and source-specific portions of the compilation will also be maintained 
at the Air and Radiation Docket and Information Center, EPA West 
Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460 
and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). If you 
wish to obtain materials from a docket in the EPA Headquarters Library, 
please call the Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) Docket/Telephone 
number (202) 566-1742. 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.

6449, or [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, wherever ``we'' or 
``our'' is used it means the EPA.

I. Background

    The SIP is a living document that the State revises as necessary to 
address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, EPA, from time to 
time must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or revised 
regulations to make them 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 
the Office of the Federal Register (OFR). 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. On March 1, 2007 (72 FR 9263), EPA published a document in 
the Federal Register beginning the new IBR procedure for North Dakota. 
Today's action is an update to the March 1, 2007 document.

II. EPA Action

    In this document, EPA is doing the following: (1) Announcing an 
update to the IBR material for North Dakota's revisions to its SIP as 
of March 1, 2009, including revisions that were approved by EPA on July 
19, 2007 (72 FR 39564) and May 27, 2008 (73 FR 30308); and (2) Revising 
the entries in paragraphs 52.1820(b), (c), (d), and (e) to reflect this 
update.

III. Good Cause Exemption

    EPA has determined that today's action falls under the ``good 
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) which, upon a finding of ``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. 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. Likewise, there is no purpose served by delaying 
the effective date of this action. Immediate notice in the CFR benefits 
the public by removing outdated citations and incorrect chart entries.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Review

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore 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). 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.

[[Page 18142]]

    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 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 an 
economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety 
risks.
    This rule 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. The rule 
also does not involve special consideration of environmental justice 
related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, 
February 16, 1994). This rule 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.

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. Section 808 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 
action simply reformats the codification of provisions which are 
already in effect as a matter of law. 5 U.S.C. 808(2). As stated 
previously, EPA has made such a good cause finding, including the 
reasons therefore, and established an effective date of April 21, 2009. 
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. This update to the Identification of 
plan for North Dakota is not 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. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each 
individual component of the North Dakota 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 to reopen the 60-day period for filing such petitions for 
judicial review for this reorganization of the ``Identification of 
plan'' section of 40 CFR 52.1820 for North Dakota.
