[FRL-9995-50-Region 1]


Change of Address for Region 1 Reports; Technical Amendments

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule; technical amendments.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is amending its 
regulations to reflect a change in address for submitting certain 
reports to EPA's Region 1 office and to correct the addresses for 
submitting certain air program reports to the EPA Region 1 states of 
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and 
Vermont once the state is delegated. This action is editorial in nature 
and is intended to provide accuracy and clarity to the agency's 
regulations.

DATES: Effective August 16, 2019.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Susan Lancey, Air Permits, Toxics, and 
Indoor Programs Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA 
Region 1 Office, 5 Post Office Square--Suite 100, (Mail code 05-2), 
Boston, MA 02109-3912, telephone number 617-918-1656,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Purpose

    The EPA is amending its regulations in 40 CFR parts 59, 60, 61, 62, 
63, 65, 82 and 763 to reflect a change in the mailing address for EPA's 
Region 1 office. The EPA is also amending its regulations in 40 CFR 
parts 60, 61, and 65 to reflect a change in the mailing addresses for 
the Region 1 states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New 
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. This technical amendment merely 
updates and corrects the addresses for mailing certain reports and 
other information to EPA Region 1's office and to the states of 
Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and 
Vermont once delegated a particular standard in 40 CFR parts 60, 61, 
and 65. Consequently, EPA has determined that this 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. 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 mailing address has changed for Region 1 reports 
submitted under 40 CFR parts 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 82 and 763 and 
since the Region 1 state mailing addresses have changed for reports 
submitted once the state is delegated under 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 
65. Notice in the CFR benefits the public by updating citations.

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    This final rule implements technical amendments to 40 CFR parts 59, 
60, 61, 62, 63, 65, 82, and 763 to reflect a change in address for 
reports submitted to EPA's Region 1 office and implements technical 
amendments to 40 CFR parts 60, 61, and 65 to reflect a change in 
addresses for the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New 
Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont upon delegation of authority. It 
does not otherwise impose or amend any requirements. 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 regulatory action because 
this action is not significant 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);
    In addition, it does not involve any technical standards that 
require the Agency' consideration of voluntary consensus standards 
pursuant to Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and 
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note). It also 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). And it does not have Tribal 
implications because it would not have a substantial direct effect on 
one or more Indian Tribes, on the relationship between 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).

    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.
