I. Background

A. Description of a SIP

    Each state has a SIP containing, among other things, the control 
measures and strategies used to attain and maintain the national 
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing 
such elements as air pollution control regulations, emission 
inventories, monitoring networks, attainment demonstrations, and 
enforcement mechanisms.

B. How EPA Enforces SIPs

    Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies 
to attain and maintain the NAAQS after the public has had an 
opportunity to comment on them and then the state must submit the 
proposed SIP revisions to EPA. Once these control measures and 
strategies are approved by EPA through notice and comment rulemaking, 
EPA uses the IBR process to make them part of the federally approved 
SIP. IBR is a method of incorporating material into EPA regulations in 
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) by referencing the original 
document(s) without publishing the full text of the material in the 
CFR. In this case, the SIP rules are identified in part 52 (Approval 
and Promulgation of Implementation Plans), title 40 of the CFR (40 CFR 
part 52). These rules are approved by EPA with a specific effective 
date, but are not reproduced in their entirety in 40 CFR part 52. This 
format allows both EPA and the public to identify which regulations are 
contained in a given SIP and to help determine whether the state is 
enforcing those regulations. This format also assists EPA and the 
public in taking enforcement action, should a state not enforce its 
SIP-approved regulations.

C. How the State and EPA Update the SIP

    The SIP is periodically revised as necessary to address the unique 
air pollution problems in the state. Therefore, EPA must periodically 
take action on state SIP submissions containing new and/or revised 
regulations and other materials; if approved by EPA, they become part 
of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the formatting 
procedures of 40 CFR part 52 for incorporating by reference federally-
approved SIP revisions. These procedures include: (1) A revised SIP 
document for each state that would use the IBR process under the 
provisions of 1 CFR part 51; (2) a revised mechanism for announcing EPA 
approval of revisions to an applicable SIP and updating both the 
document that has gone through the IBR process and the CFR; and (3) a 
revised format of the ``Identification of plan'' sections for each 
applicable subpart in 40 CFR part 52 to reflect these revised IBR 
procedures. 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.

D. How EPA Compiles the SIPs

    The federally-approved regulations and statutes and source-specific 
requirements (entirely or portions of) submitted by each state agency 
have been compiled by EPA into a ``SIP compilation,'' which is 
incorporated by reference. The SIP compilation does not contain the 
nonregulatory provisions (entirely or portions of) submitted by each 
state agency approved by EPA through previous rulemaking actions in the 
Federal Register.

E. How EPA Organizes the SIP Compilation

    Each SIP consists of three parts. Part one contains the regulations 
and statutes, part two contains the source-specific requirements, and 
part three contains nonregulatory provisions. Each state's SIP contains 
a table for each of the three parts that identifies each SIP-approved 
regulation and statute, source-specific requirement, and nonregulatory 
provision. In this action, EPA is publishing the SIP tables that 
summarize the applicable SIP requirements for Connecticut and that will 
be codified at 40 CFR 52.370. The effective dates in the table indicate 
the date of the most recent revision to an approved regulation. EPA 
Regional Offices have the primary responsibility for updating the state 
SIPs, and the SIP compilations that are incorporated by reference, and 
ensuring their accuracy.

F. Where You Can Find a Copy of the SIP Compilation

    EPA Region 1 has developed and will maintain the SIP compilation 
for Connecticut.

G. The Format of the New Identification of Plan Section

    In order to better serve the public, EPA revised the organization 
of the section titled ``Identification of plan'' at 40 CFR 52.370 and 
included additional information to clarify the enforceable elements of 
the SIP. The revised format does not affect Federal enforceability of 
the SIP and is consistent with the requirements of section 110(h)(1) of 
the Clean Air Act (CAA) concerning comprehensive SIP publication.
    The revised ``Identification of plan'' section contains five 
subsections:

1. Purpose and scope
2. Incorporation by reference
3. EPA approved regulations
4. EPA approved source specific requirements
5. EPA approved nonregulatory and quasi-regulatory provisions.

H. When a SIP Revision Becomes Part of the SIP and Federally 
Enforceable

    All new requirements and revisions to the applicable SIP become 
federally enforceable as of the effective date of the revisions to 
paragraph (c), (d), or (e) of the applicable ``Identification of plan'' 
section found in each subpart of 40 CFR part 52.

I. The Historical Record of SIP Revision Approvals

    To facilitate enforcement of previously approved SIP provisions and 
provide a smooth transition to the new

[[Page 5677]]

SIP processing system, EPA will retain the original ``Identification of 
plan'' section, previously appearing in the CFR as the first or second 
section of part 52 for each state subpart. For Connecticut, the 
original Identification of plan section will be moved from Sec.  52.370 
to Sec.  52.388.

II. What EPA Is Doing in This Action

    We are revising the format of 40 CFR part 52 ``Identification of 
plan'' section for Connecticut regarding incorporation by reference, by 
adding Sec.  52.370(c), (d), and (e), to be consistent with the format 
described above and in 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). We are adding Sec.  
52.370(b)(1) to further clarify that all SIP revisions listed in Sec.  
52.370(c) and (d), regardless of inclusion in the most recent ``update 
to the SIP compilation,'' are federally enforceable under sections 110 
and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking in 
which EPA approved the SIP revision. We are adding Sec.  52.370(b)(2) 
to certify that the materials provided by EPA at the addresses in 
paragraph (b)(3) are an exact duplicate of the official state rules/
regulations. We are adding Sec.  52.370(b)(3) to update address and 
contact information.
    This action constitutes a recordkeeping and organizational exercise 
to ensure that all revisions to the state programs that have occurred 
are accurately reflected in 40 CFR part 52. SIP revisions are 
controlled by EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 51.
    EPA has determined that this action falls under the ``good cause'' 
exemption in sections 553(b)(4)(B) and 553(d)(3) of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA), which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes 
agencies to dispense with public participation and allows an agency to 
make a rule effective immediately, thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed 
effective date otherwise provided for in the APA. This action simply 
reformats and codifies provisions which are already in effect as a 
matter of law in Federal and approved state programs. Under section 
553(b)(4)(B) of the APA, an agency may find good cause where notice and 
public procedure are ``impractical, unnecessary, or contrary to the 
public interest.'' Public comment is unnecessary for this action 
because EPA is merely reformatting and codifying existing law. 
Immediate notice in the CFR benefits the public by removing outdated 
citations and making the IBR format clearer and more user-friendly.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of regulations 
promulgated by Connecticut, previously approved by EPA and federally 
effective before August 25, 2025, contained in 40 CFR 52.370(c) and 
(d), described in section II. of this preamble. EPA has made, and will 
continue to make, these documents generally available through 
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 1 office (please contact the 
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of 
this preamble for more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP 
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 CAA. Accordingly, this 
action merely addresses administrative requirements related to 
previously approved state law found to meet Federal requirements and 
does not impose additional requirements beyond those previously 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);
     Is not subject to Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065, 
February 6, 2025) because SIP actions are exempt from review 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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 
April 23, 1997) because it is an administrative action related to state 
program approval;
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     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 CAA.
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian 
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian Tribe has 
demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 
country, the rule 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).
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA 
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the 
Comptroller General of the United States. 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 CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable 
to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual 
component of the Connecticut SIP compilation 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 believes judicial review of 
this action under section 307(b)(1) is not available.
