SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Each State has a SIP containing 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.
Each State must formally adopt the control measures and strategies in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them and then submit the proposed SIP revisions to EPA. Once these control measures and strategies are approved by EPA, and after notice and comment, they are incorporated into the federally-approved SIP and are identified in part 52, "Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans," title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR part 52). The full text of the State regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52 but is "incorporated by reference." This means that EPA has approved a given State regulation or specified changes to the given regulation with a specific effective date. The public is referred to the location of the full text version should they want to know which measures are contained in a given SIP. The information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to which a State implements a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and to take enforcement action for violations of the SIP.
The SIP is a living document which the State can revise as necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the State. Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on proposed revisions containing new or revised State regulations. A submission from a State can revise one or more rules in their entirety or portions of rules. The State indicates the changes in the submission (such as by using redline/strikethrough text) and EPA then takes action on the requested changes. EPA establishes a docket for its actions using a unique Docket Identification Number, which is listed in each action. These dockets and the complete submission are available for viewing on www.regulations.gov.
On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by reference, into the Code of Federal Regulations, materials approved by EPA into each SIP. These changes revised the format for the identification of the SIP in 40 CFR part 52, streamlined the mechanisms for announcing EPA approval of revisions to a SIP, and streamlined the mechanisms for EPA's updating of the IBR information contained for each SIP in 40 CFR part 52. The revised procedures also called for EPA to maintain "SIP Compilations" that contain the federally approved regulations and source-specific permits submitted by each State agency.
EPA generally updates these SIP Compilations on an annual basis. Under the revised procedures, EPA must periodically publish an informational document in the rules section of the Federal Register notifying the public that updates have been made to a SIP Compilation for a particular State. EPA began applying the 1997 revised procedures to Georgia on May 21, 1999, see 64 FR 27699, and is providing this notification in accordance with such procedures.
II. EPA Action
In this action, EPA is providing notice of an update to the materials incorporated by reference into the Georgia SIP as of September 1, 2024, and identified in 40 CFR 52.570(c). This update includes SIP materials submitted by Georgia and approved by EPA since the last IBR update. See 88 FR 16564 (March 20, 2023). In addition, EPA is providing notice of the following corrections to 40 CFR 52.570(c):
Changes Applicable to Paragraph (c), Table (1), EPA-Approved Georgia Regulations
A. Under 391-3-1-.02(7), "Prevention of Significant Deterioration of Air Quality (PSD)," the explanation column is reformatted to combine the two existing paragraphs into one cell.
[top] B. Under 391-3-1-.01, "Definitions," the explanation column is revised to add the text "which were" before the text "approved on 12/4/2018" and before the text "approved on 2/2/1996,"
C. Under 391-3-1-.02(4), "Ambient Air Standards," the explanation column is revised to add the text "which were" before the text "approved on 12/4/2018."
D. Under 391-3-1-.02(6), "Source Monitoring," the explanation column is revised to add the text "which was" before the text "approved on 3/9/2022."
E. Under 391-3-1-.03(6), "Exemptions," the explanation column is revised to replace the text "With the exception of" with the text "Except" and to add the text ", which is not approved into the SIP" after the current explanation.
F. Under 391-3-1-.03(11), "Permit by Rule," the explanation column is revised to add the text "which were" before the text "approved on 2/9/2010" and the text "which was" before the text "approved on 3/13/2000."
III. Good Cause Exemption
EPA has determined that this action falls under the "good cause" exemption in section 553(b)(B) of the Administrative Procedure 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 an action effective immediately (thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). This administrative action simply codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved State programs and makes typographical/ministerial revisions to the tables in the CFR. Under section 553(b)(B) of the APA, an agency may find good cause where procedures are "impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest." Public comment for this administrative action is "unnecessary" and "contrary to the public interest" since the codification (and corrections) only reflect existing law, combine two cells of a table, and revise explanations in the table for consistency. Immediate notice of this action in the Federal Register benefits the public by providing the public notice of the updated Georgia SIP Compilation and notice of corrections to the Georgia "Identification of Plan" portion of the CFR. Further, pursuant to section 553(d)(3), making this action immediately effective benefits the public by immediately updating both the SIP Compilation and the CFR "Identification of plan" section (which includes table entry corrections).
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference of regulations promulgated by Georgia, previously approved by EPA and federally effective before September 1, 2024, contained in "Georgia, Volume 1, 40 CFR 52.570(c), State Implementation Plan Compilation, EPA-Approved Georgia Regulations" and "Georgia, Volume 2, 40 CFR 52.570(d), State Implementation Plan Compilation, EPA-Approved Georgia Source-Specific Requirements." EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. See 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 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
• 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 approves a State program;
• 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.
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).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address "disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects" of their actions on communities with environmental justice (EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law. Executive Order 14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to Environmental Justice for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) builds on and supplements E.O. 12898 and defines EJ as, among other things, "the just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people, regardless of income, race, color, national origin, or Tribal affiliation, or disability in agency decision-making and other Federal activities that affect human health and the environment."
EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there is no information in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898/14096 of achieving EJ for communities with EJ concerns.
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).
[top] EPA also believes that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to this action. This is because prior EPA rulemaking actions for each individual component of the Georgia SIP compilation previously afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for judicial review in the United States
