40 CFR Part 52

[FRL-8933-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Nebraska; 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 Nebraska that are 
incorporated by reference (IBR) into the State implementation plan 
(SIP). The regulations affected by this update have been previously 
submitted by the state agency 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 July 30, 2009.

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 52 are available for inspection at the following locations: 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 7, 901 North 5th Street, Kansas 
City, Kansas 66101; or at http://www.epa.gov/region07/programs/artd/air/rules/fedapprv.htm; the Air and Radiation Docket and Information 
Center, EPA Headquarters Library, Room Number 3334, EPA West Building, 
1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460, and the National 
Archives and Records Administration. If you wish to obtain materials 
from a docket in the EPA Headquarters Library, please call the Office 
of Air and Radiation Docket at (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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Evelyn VanGoethem at (913) 551-7659, 
or by e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SIP is a living document which the state 
revises 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 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 Federal Register. 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.
    On February 12, 1999, EPA published a document in the Federal 
Register (64 FR 7091) beginning the new IBR procedure for Nebraska. On 
December 1, 2003 (68 FR 67045), EPA published an update to the IBR 
material for Nebraska.
    In this document, EPA is doing the following:
    1. Announcing the update to the IBR material as of July 1, 2009.
    2. Correcting the date format in the ``State effective date'' or 
``State Submittal date'' and ``EPA approval date'' columns in Sec.  
52.1420 paragraphs (c), (d) and (e). Dates are numerical month/day/year 
without additional zeros.
    3. Modifying the Federal Register citation in Sec.  52.1420 
paragraphs (c), (d)

[[Page 37940]]

and (e) to reflect the beginning page of the preamble as opposed to the 
page number of the regulatory text.
    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'' and ``contrary to the public 
interest'' since the codification only reflects existing law. Immediate 
notice in the CFR benefits the public by providing notice of the 
updated Nebraska SIP compilation.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a 
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and 
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal 
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those 
imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to 
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     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);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based 
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the 
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent 
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to 
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental 
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as 
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in 
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct 
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    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 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 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).
    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 previously undergone notice and comment. 
Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the 
Nebraska 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.
