I. Background

    On November 2, 2018, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality 
(IDEQ) submitted revisions to the SIP that remove Idaho's 1994 version 
of IDAPA 58.01.01.815, .816, and .819 through .826, and add the State's 
current (2012) version of IDAPA 58.01.01.815 and .818 into the SIP.
    On February 13, 2019, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
proposed to approve Idaho's November 2, 2018 submission. Please see the 
proposed approval for further explanation (84 FR 3744). The public 
comment period for our proposed action ended on March 15, 2019. We did 
not receive any comments on this action. Therefore, we are finalizing 
our action as proposed.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving and incorporating by reference into Idaho's SIP, 
all revisions to IDAPA 58.01.01.815 and .818 (state effective March 29, 
2012) as requested by Idaho on November 2, 2018. EPA is also approving, 
as requested by Idaho on November 2, 2018, removal of IDAPA 
58.01.01.816, .817, and .821 through .826 from the Idaho SIP. We have 
determined that the submitted SIP revisions are consistent with section 
110 of Title I of the CAA.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is approving regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, EPA is incorporating by reference the provisions described above 
in Section II. Final Action and set forth below, as amendments to 40 
CFR part 52.
    Also in this rule, EPA is removing regulatory text that includes

by reference of IDAPA 58.01.01.816, .817, and .821 through .826 as 
described in Section II. Final Action and set forth below, as 
amendments to 40 CFR part 52.
    EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally 
available electronically through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 
Region 10 office (please contact the person identified in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more 
information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    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, the 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 Orders 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under 
Executive Order 12866;
     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 it does not involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide the 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).

The SIP does not apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other 
area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has 
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, this action does not 
have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs 
on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive 
Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
