or transports regulated waste or who owns or operates a facility for the
treatment, storage, or disposal of regulated waste to notify EPA of
their activities, including the location and general description of
activities and the regulated wastes handled.  EPA uses the information
provided on the notification form to identify facilities undertaking
waste management activities, and to ensure that such activities are
conducted in a manner protective of human health and the environment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    EPA is approving changes to the Florida SIP that were provided to
EPA through FDEP via a letter dated February 27, 2013.\1\ EPA has
previously approved portions of the February 27, 2013 submittal,\2\ and
FDEP has withdrawn other portions from EPA consideration.\3\ EPA is
approving the remaining portions of this SIP revision. These remaining
portions make changes to Rule 62-210.350, Florida Administrative Code
(F.A.C.), Public Notice and Comment, by revising the length of the
public notice period required for federally enforceable state operating
permits (FESOPs) from 30 days to 14 days and making several minor non-
substantive edits to the Rule. FESOPs are federally enforceable permits
issued by a state under a minor source operating permit program that
EPA has approved into the SIP as meeting criteria published by the
Agency on June 28, 1989. See 54 FR 27274 (June 28, 1989) (hereinafter
FESOP Guidance). See EPA's May 5, 2020, notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) (85 FR 26641) for further details on these changes and EPA's
rationale for approving them.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA received the submittal on March 6, 2013.
    \2\ EPA approved portions of the February 27, 2013, SIP revision
making changes to Rule 62-210.200, Definitions, 62-210.310, Air
General Permits, and portions of 62-210.350, Public Notice and
Comment, specifically portions of 62-210.350(1) and (4), on October
6, 2017 (82 FR 46682).
    \3\ FDEP withdrew portions of the February 27, 2013, SIP
revision as follows: FDEP withdrew certain changes to Rule 62-
210.200, Definitions, Rule 62-210.350, Public Notice and Comment,
and Rule 62-296.401, Incinerators, on June 28, 2017; and FDEP
withdrew the changes to 62-210.300, Permits Required, on December 5,
2019. These letters are located in the docket for this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comments on the NPRM were due on or before June 4, 2020, and EPA
received one comment. EPA has summarized this comment and is providing
a response in the following section. The complete comment is available
in the docket for this rulemaking.

II. Response to Comment

    Comment: The Commenter requests that EPA confirm that the 14-day
comment period at Rule 62-210.350 for FESOP minor source permits will
not be followed if the minor source permit is going to be used for SIP
purposes. The Commenter further states that should such a FESOP minor
source permit need to be approved into the SIP, EPA must clarify that a
30-day public comment period is required.
    Response: The 14-day comment period in Rule 62-210.350 applies to
the issuance of all FESOPs regardless of whether the State will
ultimately submit them to EPA for incorporation into the SIP. As
discussed in the NPRM, there are no specific public notice requirements
for the issuance of minor source operating permits in the Clean Air Act
(CAA) or implementing regulations, and Florida's rule complies with
EPA's FESOP Guidance. The Commenter does not challenge this rationale
for approving the SIP revision or explain why FESOPs submitted for SIP
purposes must undergo a 30-day comment period prior to issuance.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As discussed in the NPRM, even with the revision to Rule
62.210.350, the State may provide for a longer comment period on
FESOPs when a commenter requests an extension.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Nonetheless, all SIP submittals, including those that contain
permit conditions for incorporation into the SIP, must undergo a 30-day
public comment period at the state level pursuant to CAA Section
110(a), 40 CFR 51.102, and Appendix V to 40 CFR part 51, Criteria for
Determining the Completeness of Plan Submissions. This comment period
is separate from and in addition to the comment period on any permits
included in that submittal. Furthermore, EPA must provide for public
comment when proposing to approve a SIP submittal unless, for good
cause, it finds that a public comment period is impracticable,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. See 5 U.S.C. 553. The
public therefore has ample opportunity to submit comments on a SIP
submittal. If the submittal seeks to incorporate permit conditions into
the SIP, the public can comment during the state and federal public
comment periods regarding the sufficiency of those conditions for SIP
purposes.

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 Rule 62-
210.350, F.A.C., Public Notice and Comment, state effective October 12,
2008, consisting of changes to the public comment period regarding
FESOPs as well as non-

substantive edits.\5\ 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). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the State implementation plan, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Except for 62-210.350(1)(c) which was withdrawn from EPA
consideration on June 28, 2017.
    \6\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving changes to the Florida SIP included in a February
27, 2013, submittal. Specifically, EPA is approving changes to the
public comment period regarding FESOPs, as well as non-substantive
edits, in Rule 62-210.350, F.A.C., Public Notice and Comment, state
effective October 12, 2008. EPA is approving these changes because they
are not inconsistent with the FESOP Guidance or the CAA, and because
the changes will not interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress or any other
requirements in the Act.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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. 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 application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; 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).
    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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it 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).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 28, 2020. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
