 1 PART A OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT 1.0 Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

" Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the Primary Copper Smelter NESHAP." This is a revision of EPA ICR 1850.2 incorporating changes to the burden estimates that have been made to address OMB comments and public comments on the ICR for the proposed rule and subsequent supplemental proposal.

( b) Short Characterization.

Respondent who will be required to perform this information collection are the owners or operators of facilities that are subject to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants ( NESHAP) for primary copper smelters that the EPA is promulgating under authority of Clean Air Act section 112.

Up to six existing primary copper smelters in the United States could be subject to the final rule, but the actual number of smelters subject to the rule likely will be less because of changes in the copper industry during the last several years.

Corporate mergers have consolidated ownership of the six smelters to three international copper companies. Four of the six smelters have suspended operations and currently are not producing copper. At this time, it is unknown when and even if these three smelters will resume production.

Affected smelter owners and operators subject to the rule will be required to install and operate air emission controls and meet certain work practice standards. To demonstrate initial and continuous compliance with the rule requirements, affected owners and operator will need to collect information to meet specific monitoring, inspection, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the final rule.

The information collection requirements for the primary 2 copper smelter NESHAP are summarized in Attachment 1. Each respondent will be required to submit to the EPA a one time notification of applicability of the respondent's smelter to the proposed NESHAP. The respondents will be required to perform an annual performance test for each control device used to comply with the standards and submit to the EPA a report following the test. Between performance tests, the respondents will be required to monitor selected operating parameters indicative of the control device performance and to maintain records of the monitoring results. Semiannually, the respondent will be required to prepare and submit to the EPA a summary report describing any periods of control device operation during which the monitored values of the control device operating parameters exceed the boundaries established during the initial performance test.

Respondents subject to the final rule also will be required to prepare two site specific written operating plans for the air pollution control equipment used to comply with the rule; ( 1) a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and ( 2) a fugitive dust control plan. These plans will not require approval by the EPA but will be required to be maintained at the smelter site.

Records and reports will be required to be retained for a total of 5 years ( 2 years at the site; the remaining 3 years of records may be retained at an off site location). The files can be maintained on microfilm, on computer or floppy disks, on magnetic tape disks, or on microfiche.

2. Need For and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection.

The EPA is required under section 112 of the Clean Air Act to establish NESHAP for control of HAP emissions from both new and existing sources determined to be major sources of HAP emissions. Primary copper smelters have been identified by EPA as 3 potentially significant emitters of metal HAP. Overall, the metal HAP constituents emitted in the largest quantities from primary copper smelters are arsenic compounds and lead compounds.

Chronic exposure to arsenic is associated with human cancers of the skin, bladder, liver and lungs and can cause other developmental and reproductive effects. Exposure to lead compounds results in adverse effects on the blood, central nervous system, and kidneys.

To implement and enforce this NESHAP, certain types of information are needed by the EPA to: ( 1) confirm the compliance status of major sources, identify any non major sources not subject to the standards, and identify new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards; and ( 2) ensure that the standards are being achieved. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the Act ( 42 U. S. C. 7414) and are codified in the NESHAP General Provisions ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A).

( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data.

The information will be used by Agency personnel to:

( 1) identify major sources and new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards, ( 2) ensure that MACT is being properly applied;( 3) ensure that the emission control devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis; ( 4)

identify those facilities that should be inspected; ( 5) identify those facilities that may benefit from compliance assistance activities; and ( 6) to ensure that the emission control devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis to reduce HAP emissions.

To minimize the burden, much of the information the EPA needs to determine compliance will be recorded and retained onsite at the facility. Such information will be reviewed by the enforcement personnel during an inspection and will not need to 4 be routinely reported to the EPA. Except for cases in which a violation has occurred, information required in reports has been limited to the extent practical.

3. The Respondents and the Information Requested ( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes.

Potential respondents are owners or operators of primary copper smelters that produce anode copper using flash smelting furnaces integrated with batch copper converters. A total of six existing primary copper smelters in three States ( Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) use this copper production technology. The final NESHAP requires that the primary copper smelter be a major source of HAP emissions, as defined in 40 CFR 63.2. The final rule does not apply to a primary copper smelter that is not a major source. Based on current information available to the EPA,

it is anticipated that at least two of the existing smelters may not be major HAP sources and thus not subject to this final rule because these smelters process copper ores with naturally occurring low concentrations of the metal impurities listed as HAP. Furthermore, three of the six smelters have suspended operations and currently are not producing copper because of a combination of factors including corporate mergers and economic considerations. At this time, it is unknown when and even if these three smelters will resume production. Thus, it is likely fewer than the six primary copper smelters will be subject to the primary copper smelter NESHAP. However, to prepare these burden and cost estimates it is assumed that all six primary copper smelters will be subject to the rule and will need to comply with the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the rule. The North American Industry Classification System Code for the respondents to the rule is code 331411  " Primary Smelting and Refining of Copper." 5 ( b) Information Requested.

( i) Data items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements.

Attachment 1 summarizes the proposed information collection requirements.

( ii) Respondent activities. The respondent activities required by the standards are identified in Tables 1 through 3 and introduced in Section 6( a).

4. The Information Collected Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities.

A list of Agency activities is provided in Tables 4 through 6 and introduced in Section 6( c).

( b) Collection Methodology and Management.

Information contained in the one time only reports will be entered into the Compliance Data System operated and maintained by the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance.

Data obtained from records maintained by the respondents during site inspection visits by Agency personnel will be tabulated and published for internal EPA use in enforcement and compliance programs.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility.

None of the companies operating primary copper smelters in the United States are small entities. Thus, no small businesses will be subject to the proposed NESHAP or incur adverse economic impacts.

( d) Collection Schedule.

A schedule for collection of information and publication of data is not applicable because reports and recordkeeping are triggered by action of the respondents.

5. Nonduplication, Consultation, and Other Collection Criteria 6 ( a) Nonduplication.

No similar information requests are being carried out by the Federal government. A search of the EPA's ongoing ICR's revealed no duplication of information gathering efforts. Certain control device performance test reports that will be required by the proposed primary copper smelter NESHAP may duplicate information also required from a respondent by a State air regulatory agency.

In such cases, a copy of the test report submitted by a respondent to the State agency could be provided to the EPA.

( b) Consultations.

Participants outside the EPA involved in the development of the primary copper smelter NESHAP included representatives of the three State air regulatory agencies in which the six primary copper smelters potentially subject to the rule are located ( States of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) and representatives of the companies operating these primary copper smelters ( ASARCO Incorporated a subsidiary of Groupo Mexico, S. A. de C. V., BHP Copper Corporation, and Phelps Dodge Corporation). The EPA consulted with these parties regarding the monitoring, reporting,

and recordkeeping requirements during meetings and telephone conversations. No major problems regarding the monitoring,

recordkeeping, or reporting procedures were encountered.

( c) Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

If the relevant information were collected at less frequent intervals, the EPA will not be reasonably assured that a smelter is in compliance with the standards.

( d) General Guidelines.

None of the general information collection guidelines, with one exception, in 5 CFR 1230.5( d)( 2) of the OMB regulations implementing the Paperwork Reduction Act is being exceeded. The one exception is the rule requires the respondent maintain inspection and monitoring records for a minimum of 5 years. In 7 addition, the Agency has taken all practical steps to develop easy to understand requirements for all respondents.

( e) Confidentiality and Sensitive Questions.

( i) Confidentiality. All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976;

amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR 42251,

September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

( ii) Sensitive Questions. This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden.

The annual burden estimates for reporting and recordkeeping are presented in Tables 1, 2 and 3. These numbers were derived from estimates based on the EPA's experience with implementing NESHAP for similar types of sources.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs.

The information collection activities for sources subject to the standards are presented in Tables 1, 2, and 3. The capital costs and the operating and maintenance ( O& M) costs were estimated by identifying the capital equipment each smelter will be expected to purchase and install the changes in the operating,

maintenance, monitoring, and recordkeeping operations that will be expected to be implemented to comply with the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of rule. Capital costs are estimated for the purchase and installation of equipment to monitor and record control device operating parameters. For estimating the respondent burden and costs, the initial control device performance tests are assumed to be conducted during the first 8 year following promulgation of the rule since, with one exception, the air emission control equipment required under the rule is already installed at the six smelters potentially subject to the rule. Labor rates and associated costs are based on the Comprehensive Assessment and Information Rule ( CAIR) economic analysis and estimated hourly rates are as follows: legal at $ 86,

technical at $ 43, management at $ 49, and clerical at $ 15.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of the development of the rule,

no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements. Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the respondents are required under the General Provisions for the MACT standards, no operational costs will be incurred by the Federal Government. Publication and distribution of the information are part of the Compliance Data System, so that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR.

Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of the EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR. The only costs that the Federal government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported information and for labor and travel for site visits to observe performance tests and conduct compliance inspections, estimates for these costs are presented in Tables 4, 5, and 6.

For the estimating the agency burden and costs, the initial performance tests are assumed to be conducted during the first year following promulgation of the rule since, with one exception, the air emission control equipment required under the rule is already installed at the six smelters. The assumed hourly rates are as follows: management at $ 54.53, technical at 9 $ 32.99, and clerical at $ 16.74. Total travel costs for the smelter site visits are estimated assuming travel costs on average are $ 200 per person per 8 hour day spent at the smelter site.

( d) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs/ Master Tables.

( i) The simple collection. The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs for the first 3 years following promulgation are presented in Tables 1, 2, and 3. The total burden hours are calculated by adding the total labor hours per year estimated for legal, technical, managerial, and clerical staff. The total annual costs are calculated by adding the total labor costs, annualized capital costs, and operating and maintenance ( O& M) costs. The bottom line respondent burden hour and cost estimates for each of first 3 years following promulgation are summarized below.

Respondent Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs Total Annual Burden Hours Total Annual Cost 1st year 24,314 hours $ 1,170,000 2nd year 18,602 hours $ 880,600 3rd year 18,602 hours $ 880,600 Average 20,506 hours $ 923,800 Based on a total of six respondents nationwide, the 3 year average burden to the individual respondent is 3,420 hours per year at a cost of $ 154,000 per year.

( ii) The Agency tally. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs for the first 3 years following promulgation are presented in Tables 4, 5, and 6. The total burden hours are calculated by adding the total labor hours per year estimated for legal, technical, managerial, and clerical staff. The total 10 annual costs are calculated by adding the total labor costs,

annualized capital costs, and operating and maintenance ( O& M)

costs. The bottom line Agency burden hour and cost estimates for each of first 3 years following promulgation are summarized below.

Agency Bottom Line Burden Hours and Costs Total Annual Person Hours Total Annual Cost 1st year 1,470 hours $ 71,200 2nd year 300 hours $ 17,600 3rd year 300 hours $ 17,600 Average 690 hours $ 35,500 ( iii) The complex collection. This section does not apply since this is a simple collection.

( iv) Variations in the annual bottom line. This section does not apply since no significant variation is anticipated.

( e) Reasons for Change in Burden.

The reporting and recordkeeping estimates presented in the third version of the ICR ( EPA ICR No. 1850.03) have been revised to address the changes made to the final rule affecting the smelter owner or operator's recordkeeping and reporting requirements. For example, the estimates for the appropriate information collection activities related to performance testing have been adjusted to reflect the change to the final rule requiring annual performance testing of affected sources. In addition, we have reviewed all of the public comments we received on ICR No. 1850.01 and ICR No. 1850.02 and adjusted the estimates using the labor hour requirements recommended by the commenters.

We revised our estimates of the amount of time needed to prepare plans required by the final rule based on information supplied by 11 the affected companies on the number of hour actually spent by staff in preparing similar type plans. Also, additional costs were added to the estimates for equipment and supplies to prepare and store the required records and reports.

Specific revisions to the estimates in EPA ICR No. 1850.03 include the following changes. Labor hours and costs for annual performance testing of affected sources as required by the final rule were included in the burden estimates for Years 1,2 and 3.

Based on the information provided by the copper companies, we increased our estimate for Year 1 of the amount of time needed to prepare a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan from 40 to 80 hours and to prepare a fugitive dust control plan from 40 to 100 hours. 12 PART B OF THE SUPPORTING STATEMENT This section is not applicable the " Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the Primary Copper Smelter"

The Proposal

    The FAA is proposing an amendment to Title 14, Code of Federal
Regulations (14 CFR) part 71 to establish 14 RNAV Q-routes and modify 4
Q-routes in support of the OAPM project. OAPM is intended to improve
air traffic flows within an entire region resulting in increased
capacity and fuel efficiency and reduced track distances. The proposed
changes are described below.
    Q-22: Q-22 now extends between the GUSTI, LA, fix and the CATLN,
AL, fix. This action would modify Q-22 by extending the route
approximately 582 nautical miles (NM) to the northeast of its current
termination point, to the BEARI, VA, waypoint (WP). The modification
would be used to segregate aircraft landing at various airports in the
northeast U.S.
    Q-39: Q-39 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
CLAWD, NC, WP and the TARCI, WV, fix. The route would be used by
aircraft landing at Port Columbus, OH, Cleveland, OH and Detroit, MI
airports.
    Q-40: Q-40 now extends between the Alexandria, LA, VORTAC (AEX) and
the MISLE, AL, WP. The route would be modified by extending it
approximately 548 NM to the northeast terminating at the FANPO, VA, WP.
Q-22 would provide an RNAV alternative for southwest-bound traffic that
normally files via jet route J-22. The amended Q-40 would be a shorter
route and would also reduce conflictions with departures from the
Atlanta, GA, area.
    Q-50: Q-50 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
Louisville, KY, VORTAC (IIU) and the CUBIM, KY, WP. The route is
intended to help segregate Charlotte, NC, departures from conflicting
high altitude flows headed towards the Louisville, KY area.
    Q-52: Q-52 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
CHOPZ, GA, WP and the COLZI, NC, fix. This route would provide an RNAV
alternative to jet route J-37 for southwest-bound overflights joining
traffic departing from the CLT area and overflying ATL. The route would
parallel J-37 between COLZI and CHOPZ thereby segregating the
southwest-bound flights from ATL departure flows that are in opposite
direction proceeding northeast-bound.
    Q-54: Q-54 would be a new route extending between the Greenwood,
SC, VORTAC (GRD) and the NUTZE, NC, WP. The route would serve ATL
departures destined to the Norfolk, VA, area.
    Q-56: Q-56 would be a new route that would extend between the
CATLN, AL, Fix and the KIWII, VA, WP. The route would diverge
northeasterly from the proposed Q-22 (see above) to serve aircraft
landing at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Joint
Base Andrews (ADW).
    Q-58: Q-58 would be a new route that would extend between the
KELLN, SC, WP and the PEETT, NC, WP. It would be used by ATL departures
headed to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport
(BWI).
    Q-60: The proposed Q-60 would extend between the Spartanburg, SC,
VORTAC (SPA) and the JAXSN, VA, fix. The route would serve aircraft
landing at Washington Dulles International (IAD), Richmond
International (RIC) and LaGuardia (LGA) airports.
    Q-63: Q-63 is a proposed new route that would extend between the
DOOGE, VA, WP and the HEVAN, IN, WP. The route would facilitate CLT
departures traveling northwest-bound and overflying the Cincinnati, OH,
area.
    Q-64: Q-64 is proposed to extend between the CATLN, AL, fix and the
Tar River, NC, VORTAC (TYI). Q-64 would provide routing for aircraft
destined to airports in the New York City area.
    Q-65: Q-65 would be a new route extending between the JEFOI, GA, WP
and Rosewood, OH, VORTAC (ROD). The route would serve northbound
traffic from Florida and to the east of ATL.
    Q-66: Q-66 would extend between the Little Rock, AR, VORTAC (LIT)
and the ALEAN, VA, WP. The route would transfer RNAV aircraft off
conventional jet routes and away from the Volunteer, TN (VXV) and
Pulaski, VA (PSK) VORTACs, which are high traffic volume crossing
fixes. Shifting aircraft to Q-66 would facilitate climbs for northbound
aircraft departing ATL and provide a more direct route to Little Rock.
    Q-67: Q-67 would extend between the SMITH, TN, WP and Henderson,
WV, VORTAC (HNN). It would provide RNAV routing for ATL departures. Q-
67, along with the proposed Q-71 (see below), would enable two
segregated north departure flows from ATL.
    Q-69: Q-69 would extend between the BLAAN, SC, WP and Elkins, WV,
VORTAC (EKN). The route would provide better opportunity for
unrestricted climbs for CLT departures headed toward Pittsburg
International (PIT), Buffalo Niagara International (BUF) and Toronto
Pearson International (TOR) airports. Additionally, Q-69 could be used
as an RNAV alternative to jet route J-53.
    Q-71: Q-71 would extend between the BOBBD, TN, WP and the GEFFS,
WV, fix. This route, in conjunction with Q-67 (above), would facilitate
the segregation of ATL departures prior to the aircraft entering the
adjacent Air Route Traffic Control Center's (ARTCC) airspace.
    Q-110: Q-110 now extends between the THNDR, FL, fix and the FEONA,
GA, WP. This action would modify Q-110 by extending the route an
additional 404 NM to the northwest, terminating at the BLANS, IL, WP.
The amended route would serve traffic overflying Atlanta

ARTCC airspace from Florida airports en route to the Minneapolis-St.
Paul International/World-Chamberlain Airport (MSP).
    Q-118: Q-118 now extends between the KPASA, FL, WP and the LENIE,
GA, WP. This proposed amendment would eliminate the LENIE WP from the
Q-118 description and instead, realign Q-118 to the west of LENIE
through the JOHNN, GA, Fix. From JOHNN, GA, Fix, Q-118 would be
extended approximately 544 NM to the north to terminate at the Marion,
IN, VOR/DME (MZZ). This route extension would support a preferred
arrival route into Chicago O'Hare International Airport (ORD).
    High altitude RNAV routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA
Order 7400.9X dated August 7, 2013, and effective September 15, 2013,
which is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV routes
listed in this document would be subsequently published in the Order.
    The FAA has determined that this proposed regulation only involves
an established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
Therefore, this proposed regulation: (1) is not a ``significant
regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a
``significant rule'' under Department of Transportation (DOT)
Regulatory Policies and Procedures (44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979);
and (3) does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the
anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that
will only affect air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is
certified that this proposed rule, when promulgated, will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority.
    This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described in

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    On March 15, 2021 (86 FR 14299), EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of Connecticut.
    The NPRM proposed approval of Connecticut's SIP revision, which
replaced two definitions within the previously approved Regulations of
Connecticut State Agencies (RCSA) Section 22a-174-22e, Control of NOx
Emissions from Fuel-burning Equipment at Major Stationary Sources of
NOX. The revision proposed to add to the State's SIP a
recent amendment to 22a-174-22e concerning the definitions of
``emergency'' and ``emergency engine,'' which became effective as a
state requirement on October 8, 2019. Additionally, two compliance
options were removed from RCSA section 22a-174-22e(g) in light of the
revised definitions for emergency and emergency engine.
    The formal SIP revision was submitted by Connecticut on December
20, 2019. The rationale for EPA's proposed action is explained in the
NPRM and will not be restated here. There were no public comments
received on the NPRM.

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving Connecticut's December 20, 2019 SIP revision
request pertaining to its definitions for emergency and emergency
engine and the removal of compliance options affected by the revised
definitions.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
definitions for emergency and emergency engines and the removal of
compliance options affected by the revised definitions described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these documents generally available through 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).https://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 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, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this proposed 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 proposed action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     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 Clean Air Act; 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).
    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).
