SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    The EASA, which is the Technical Agent for the Member States of the
European Union, has issued EASA AD 2020-0130, dated June 8, 2020
(``EASA AD 2020-0130'') (also referred to as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for all Airbus SAS Model A318-111, -112, -121, and -122
airplanes; A319-111, -112, -113, -114, -115, -131, -132, -133, -151N, -
153N, and -171N airplanes; A320-211, -212, -214, -215, -216, -231, -
232, -233, -251N, -252N, -253N, -271N, -272N, and -273N airplanes; and
A321-111, -112, -131, -211, -212, -213, -231, -232, -251N, -251NX, -
252N, -252NX, -253N, -253NX, -271N, -271NX, -272N and -272NX airplanes.
Model A320-215 airplanes are not certificated by the FAA and are not
included on the U.S. type certificate data sheet; this AD therefore
does not include those airplanes in the applicability.
    This AD was prompted by reports of MLG torque link apex pin rupture
in service. The FAA is issuing this AD to address MLG torque link apex
pin rupture, which could lead to disconnection of MLG torque links,
possibly resulting in reduced braking efficiency and/or increased risk
of tire burst during take-off or landing. See the MCAI for additional
background information.

Related IBR Material Under 1 CFR Part 51

    EASA AD 2020-0130 describes procedures for replacement of certain
MLG torque link apex pins with serviceable parts and, for certain other
pins, a one-time MPI for cracking and, depending on the findings,
replacement with a serviceable part. This material is reasonably
available because the interested parties have access to it through
their normal course of business or by the means identified in the
ADDRESSES section.

FAA's Determination

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, the FAA
has been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI
referenced above. The FAA is issuing this AD because the FAA evaluated
all pertinent information and determined the unsafe condition exists
and is likely to exist or develop on other products of the same type
design.

Requirements of This AD

    This AD requires accomplishing the actions specified in EASA AD
2020-0130 described previously, as incorporated by reference, except
for any differences identified as exceptions in the regulatory text of
this AD.

Explanation of Required Compliance Information

    In the FAA's ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency of the AD
process, the FAA initially worked with Airbus and EASA to develop a
process to use certain EASA ADs as the primary source of information
for compliance with requirements for corresponding FAA ADs. The FAA has
since coordinated with other manufacturers and civil aviation
authorities (CAAs) to use this process. As a result, EASA AD 2020-0130
is incorporated by reference in this final rule. This AD, therefore,
requires compliance with EASA AD 2020-0130 in its entirety, through
that incorporation, except for any differences identified as exceptions
in the regulatory text of this AD. Using common terms that are the same
as the heading of a particular section in the EASA AD does not mean
that operators need comply only with that section. For example, where
the AD requirement refers to ``all required actions and compliance
times,'' compliance with this AD requirement is not limited to the
section titled ``Required Action(s) and Compliance Time(s)'' in the
EASA AD. Service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0130 that is
required for compliance with EASA AD 2020-0130 is available on the
internet at https://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating
Docket No. FAA-2020-0578.

Clarification of Parts Installation Limitation

    The intent of the ``Parts Installation Limitation'' specified in
paragraph (j) of this AD is that operators replace parts with good
parts rather than bad parts. Although the word ``install'' is generally
considered to be broader than the word ``replace,'' for purposes of
this AD it should be interpreted as meaning ``replace'' while remaining
within the spirit and intent of the AD. Therefore, simply reinstalling
the same part during maintenance activities is acceptable for
compliance with the requirements specified in paragraph (j) of this AD
for that reinstallation.

Justification For Immediate Adoption and Determination of the Effective
Date

    Section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) (5
U.S.C. 551 et seq.) authorizes agencies to dispense with notice and
comment procedures for rules when the agency, for ``good cause,'' finds
that those procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to
the public interest.'' Under this section, an agency, upon finding good
cause, may issue a final rule without providing notice and seeking
comment prior to issuance. Further, section 553(d) of the APA
authorizes agencies to make rules effective in less than thirty days,
upon a finding of good cause.
    An unsafe condition exists that requires the immediate adoption of
this AD without providing an opportunity for public comments prior to
adoption. The FAA has found that the risk to the flying public
justifies waiving notice and comment prior to adoption of this rule
because the MLG torque link apex pin rupture could lead to
disconnection of MLG torque links, possibly resulting in reduced
braking efficiency and/or increased risk of tire burst during take-off
or landing. In addition, the compliance time for the required action is
shorter than the time necessary for the public to comment and for
publication of the final rule. Therefore this rule must be issued
immediately, to ensure the safety of the flightcrews conducting such
flights. Accordingly, notice and opportunity for prior public comment
are impracticable and contrary to the public interest pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
    In addition, the FAA finds that good cause exists pursuant to 5
U.S.C. 553(d) for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days,
for the same reasons the FAA found good cause.

Comments Invited

    The FAA invites you to send any written relevant data, views, or
arguments about this AD. Send your comments to an address listed under
the ADDRESSES section. Include ``Docket No. FAA-2020-0578; Project
Identifier MCAI-2020-00889-T'' at the beginning of your comments. The
most helpful comments reference a specific portion of

the proposal, explain the reason for any recommended change, and
include supporting data. The FAA will consider all comments received by
the closing date and may amend this AD based on those comments.
    Except for Confidential Business Information (CBI) as described in
the following paragraph, and other information as described in 14 CFR
11.35, the FAA will post all comments the FAA receives, without change,
to https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information you
provide. The FAA will also post a report summarizing each substantive
verbal contact the FAA receives about this AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this AD contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this AD, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this AD. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Sanjay
Ralhan, Aerospace Engineer, Large Aircraft Section, International
Validation Branch, FAA, 2200 South 216th St., Des Moines, WA 98198;
telephone and fax<PHONE_NUMBER>; email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Any
commentary that the FAA receives which is not specifically designated
as CBI will be placed in the public docket for this rulemaking.

Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    The requirements of the RFA do not apply when an agency finds good
cause pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553 to adopt a rule without prior notice and
comment. Because the FAA has determined that it has good cause to adopt
this rule without notice and comment, RFA analysis is not required.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD affects 1,630 airplanes of U.S.
registry. The FAA estimates the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                              Cost per
               Labor cost                   Parts cost        product             Cost on U.S.  operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 work-hours x $85 per hour = $1,020..              $0           $1,020   Up to $1,662,600.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has received no definitive data that would enable us to
provide cost estimates for the inspection and repair specified in
paragraph (h)(5) of this AD.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. 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.
    The FAA is issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    The FAA determined that this AD will not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a
substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive
Order 12866, and
    (2) Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska.

to this AD.
    (3) Where paragraph (3) of EASA AD 2020-0130 specifies a parts
installation limitation, for this AD, comply with paragraph (j) of
this AD.
    (4) Where EASA AD 2020-0130 specifies to comply with ``the
instructions of the AOT,'' this AD requires compliance with the
procedures marked as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in the Alert
Operators Transmission (AOT).
    (5) Where step 3.B.(3) of the service information specified in
EASA AD 2020-0130 states to do an inspection of the component
interfaces and the adjacent area, if any damage (not in the correct
condition) is found by the inspection, this AD requires repair using
a method approved in accordance with the procedures specified in
paragraph (k)(2) of this AD.
    (6) The table header on the first page of Appendix 4 of the
service information specified in EASA AD 2020-0130 is not aligned

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES

Food and Drug Administration

[Docket No. FDA-2016-N-4232]

Battery Safety Concerns in Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems;
Public Workshop; Establishment of a Public Docket; Request for Comments

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Public workshop; establishment of public docket; request for
data, information, and comments.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Center for Tobacco
Products (CTP) is announcing several actions concerning issues related
to batteries used in electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS),
including electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes). These actions are
intended to give CTP staff an opportunity to hear from the public,
including tobacco product manufacturers, importers, researchers, and
academic investigators, about ENDS battery safety concerns (e.g.,
overheating, fire, explosion), risk mitigation, and design parameters.
Additionally, FDA is interested in information related to communication
to consumers and the general public related to ENDS battery safety
concerns. FDA is announcing a public workshop on ENDS batteries and
safety hazards. The 2-day public workshop will include presentations
and panel discussions about ENDS battery safety concerns as well as how
potential safety hazards and risks are communicated to consumers and
the general public. In conjunction with the public workshop, FDA is
establishing a public docket to gather data and information on hazards
and risks associated with the use of batteries in ENDS. Regardless of
attendance at the public workshop, interested parties are invited to
submit comments, including data and research.

DATES: The public workshop will be held on April 19 and 20, 2017, from
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Individuals who wish to attend the public
workshop must register by March 17, 2017. Electronic or written
comments to the docket will be accepted until May 22, 2017.

ADDRESSES: The public workshop will be held at the FDA White Oak

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On June 22, 2009, the President signed the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Pub. L. 111-31) (Tobacco Control
Act), amending the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act)
and giving FDA authority to regulate tobacco product manufacturing,
distribution, and marketing. The FD&C Act also gives FDA the ability,
through rulemaking, to regulate additional products that meet the legal
definition of a tobacco product. On May 10, 2016, FDA published a final
rule entitled ``Deeming Tobacco Products to be Subject to the Federal
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as Amended by the Family Smoking
Prevention and Tobacco Control Act; Restrictions on the Sale and
Distribution of Tobacco Products and Required Warning Statements for
Tobacco Products'' (81 FR 28974) that became effective on August 8,
2016. Under this rule, newly deemed tobacco products, such as ENDS, are
now subject to the provisions of the Tobacco Control Act that apply
automatically to all products that meet the statutory definition of a
tobacco product in section 201(rr) of the FD&C Act.
    FDA has become aware of recent reports of battery-related safety
events such as exploding batteries in ENDS, which include e-cigarettes.
As a result, FDA is interested in gaining knowledge about ENDS battery
safety hazards and controls, including internal and external battery-
related factors, specifications, safety, and design parameters of the
ENDS apparatus. In addition, FDA is interested in understanding how
these risks currently are communicated to consumers, as well as how
they may be communicated in the future, in an effort to determine the
most effective method to address these problems. FDA is announcing a
public workshop and establishing a public docket to gather data and
information on hazards and risks associated with the use of batteries
in ENDS. Regardless of attendance at the public workshop, interested
parties are invited to submit comments, supported by research and data,
regarding the topics for discussion at the public workshop (see section
II). Information related to workshop presentations and discussion
topics, including specific questions to be addressed at the workshop,
can be found at http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/NewsEvents/ucm238308.htm. The information gathered through this public docket may
be used by FDA in considering future actions.

II. Public Workshop on Battery Safety Concerns in ENDS

    FDA is announcing a 2-day public workshop to gather scientific
information and stimulate discussion about hazards and risks associated
with

the use of batteries in ENDS, including e-cigarettes. In particular,
the workshop seeks to gather information, including research and data,
on: (1) ENDS battery safety concerns (e.g., overheating, fire,
explosion, other modes of failure); (2) factors that contribute to ENDS
battery failures; and (3) information on ENDS design features and other
parameters that may impact the occurrence of these failures. The
workshop is intended to better inform FDA about the hazards and risks
associated with the use of batteries in ENDS. FDA is seeking input from
a broad group of stakeholders, including, but not limited to:
Scientific and medical experts; ENDS manufacturers, importers,
distributors, wholesalers, and retailers; manufacturers of batteries
for ENDS and other consumer products; state, and local government
agencies; and other interested stakeholders, such as academic
researchers and public health organizations.
    Topics for Discussion: The public workshop will include
presentations and panel discussions regarding substantive scientific
information, specifically relating to hazards and risks associated with
the use of batteries in ENDS, including e-cigarettes. Topics to be
addressed include, for example: (1) Factors that contribute to failure
of rechargeable and non-rechargeable ENDS batteries resulting in
overheating, fire, explosion, or other modes of failure (this may
include factors relating to batteries, charging equipment, components
and parts such as voltage and temperature controllers or other
circuitry, other ENDS design features, user modification of ENDS, and
e-liquids), and what influence these factors have on the mode of
failure (e.g., battery overheating versus explosion); (2) safety
features (e.g., circuit protection, charging safety features) and
battery standards that may be applied to ENDS batteries to limit their
potential for overheating, fire, explosion, or other mode of failure;
(3) changes, improvements, and innovations to battery and ENDS design
that would limit the potential for overheating, fire, explosion, or
other mode of failure; (4) other public health risks associated with
ENDS batteries (e.g., leakage); (5) ENDS design changes that could
mitigate public health risks upon battery failure; (6) battery safety
information that is communicated to ENDS consumers and the general
public; and (7) best practices to effectively communicate potential
risks associated with ENDS batteries to consumers and the general
public (e.g., via labeling, instructions for use, warnings). Additional
information related to workshop presentations and discussions topics,
including specific questions, can be found at http://www.fda.gov/TobaccoProducts/NewsEvents/ucm238308.htm.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This section provides
additional information by addressing the following questions:

What is a SIP?
What is the Federal approval process for a SIP?
What does Federal approval of a state regulation mean to me?
What is being addressed in this document?
Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
What action is EPA taking?

What is a SIP?

    Section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states to develop
air pollution regulations and control strategies to ensure that state
air quality meets the national ambient air quality standards
established by EPA. These ambient standards are established under
section 109 of the CAA, and they currently address six criteria
pollutants. These pollutants are: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide,
ozone, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide.
    Each state must submit these regulations and control strategies to
us for approval and incorporation into the federally-enforceable SIP.
    Each federally-approved SIP protects air quality primarily by
addressing air pollution at its point of origin. These SIPs can be
extensive, containing state regulations or other enforceable documents
and supporting information such as emission inventories, monitoring
networks, and modeling demonstrations.

What is the Federal approval process for a SIP?

    In order for state regulations to be incorporated into the
federally-enforceable SIP, states must formally adopt the regulations
and control strategies consistent with state and Federal requirements.
This process generally includes a public notice, public hearing, public
comment period, and a formal adoption by a state-authorized rulemaking
body.
    Once a state rule, regulation, or control strategy is adopted, the
state submits it to us for inclusion into the SIP. We must provide
public notice and seek additional public comment regarding the proposed
Federal action on the state submission. If adverse comments are
received, they must be addressed prior to any final Federal action by
us.
    All state regulations and supporting information approved by EPA
under section 110 of the CAA are incorporated into the Federally-
approved SIP. Records of such SIP actions are maintained in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at Title 40, Part 52, entitled ``Approval and
Promulgation of Implementation Plans.'' The actual state regulations
which are approved are not reproduced in their entirety in the CFR
outright but are ``incorporated by reference,'' which means that we
have approved a given state regulation with a specific effective date.

What does Federal approval of a state regulation mean to me?

    Enforcement of the state regulation before and after it is
incorporated into the Federally-approved SIP is primarily a state
responsibility. However, after the regulation is Federally approved, we
are authorized to take enforcement action against violators. Citizens
are also offered legal recourse to address violations as described in
section 304 of the CAA.

What is being addressed in this document?

    On March 21, 2008, Missouri requested that EPA approve a revision
to the SIP to include changes to Missouri rule 10 CSR 10-2.210, Control
of Emissions From Solvent Metal Cleaning. This rule specifies
equipment, operating procedures, and training requirements for the
reduction of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from solvent
metal cleaning operations in the Kansas City, Missouri, metropolitan
area. Generally, the revisions to this rule include: (1) Consolidating
exemptions in the applicability section, (2) adding new exemptions, (3)
adding definitions of new and previously undefined terms, and (4)
clarifying rule language regarding operating procedure requirements for
spray gun cleaners and air-tight and airless cleaning systems.
    This rule was included in the reasonably available control
technology (RACT) measures for the Kansas City area approved by EPA in
the Federal Register on April 9, 1980, and effective the same date. The
RACT rules were put into place to meet the nonattainment area (Part D)
requirements of the CAA, and to help attain the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards for ozone in the Kansas City area.
    The revisions to the applicability section include revisions to
subsection (1)(C), which describes the processes which use nonaqueous
solvents to clean and remove soils from metal parts which are subject
to this rule, and subsection (1)(D), which lists the solvents which are
exempt from this rule. Subsection (1)(D) consolidates existing
exemptions into one section and adds three new exemptions. The first
new exemption is the exemption of solvent metal cleaning operations
which are regulated under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart T, the National
Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Halogenated
Solvent Cleaning which Missouri has incorporated by reference in 10 CSR
10-2.210. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources' Air Pollution
Control Program (MDNR/APCP) states that the solvents used in this
practice are required to comply with the NESHAP for Halogenated Solvent
Cleaning and states that in general the NESHAP for Halogenated Solvent
Cleaning work practices, solvent loss limits, equipment specifications,
and solvent recordkeeping/reporting requirements exceed the
requirements in the existing Missouri solvent metal cleaning rule.
Based on review of Missouri's analysis, we believe Missouri can exempt
this source category from the RACT rule because the NESHAP incorporated
into 10 CSR 10-2.210 is at least as stringent, and sources must comply
with this NESHAP in order to qualify for exemption from the Missouri
RACT rule.
    The second and third new exemptions added were for flush cleaning
operations and hand cleaning/wiping operations. These exemptions were
also added because industry conducting these activities are already
regulated by Federal standards in 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GG, the
NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities and by
Missouri Rule 10 CSR 10-2.215, Control of Emissions From Solvent
Cleanup Operations. Based on the review of the analyses provided by the
state to justify the rule, we believe that revision of this rule to
exempt these source categories because the NESHAP which has also been
adopted by

Missouri in 10 CSR 10-6.075 and existing state rule, 10 CSR 10-2.215,
are at least as stringent and sources must comply with both state rules
in order to be exempt from the RACT rule.
    The MDNR/APCP also added several new definitions. These definitions
include: (2)(E) Flush cleaning, (2)(I) hand cleaning/wiping operation,
(2)(J) institutional cleaning, (2)(K) janitorial cleaning, (2)(M)
nonaqueous solvent, (2)(N) optical device, (2)(O) soils, and (2)(P)
spray gun cleaner. These definitions were added to provide clarity to
the rule, and Missouri has provided an analysis showing that this
revision will not cause an increase in emissions.
    The MDNR/APCP also reorganized the General Provisions section.
Specifically subsection (3)(A) of the rule was reorganized into
subparagraphs for cold cleaners, open-top vapor degreasers,
conveyorized degreasers, and air-tight or airless cleaning systems.
Subsection (3)(B) outlines operating procedures for the four operations
mentioned above. The spray gun cleaner, subparagraph (3)(B)4., and the
air-tight and airless cleaning systems, subparagraph (3)(B)5., were
added to provide more clarity to the rule's application for these two
operations. Subsection (3)(C) was revised to add clarifying language to
the operator and supervisor training portion of this rule, and
subsection (4)(A), reporting and record keeping language, was revised
to require the records to be kept current and made available for review
on a monthly basis.
    Missouri has prepared documentation which demonstrates that these
rule revisions will not negatively impact air quality in the Kansas
City area. The demonstration consists of (1) an explanation of the
rationale for the revisions to the rule's format, and (2) an evaluation
of the revisions to the applicability section, definitions section,
general provisions section, the reporting and record keeping section,
and test methods section. The reformatting of the rule makes this rule
consistent with the general format of Missouri air rules.
    The rule reformatting does not change any requirements and,
therefore, does not impact emissions. As explained above, the
additional exemptions in the rule do not significantly change the
emissions limits to which the affected sources are subject. In
addition, these rules, as revised, continue to require emissions
reductions previously determined by EPA to represent RACT.

Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The submittal satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR Part
51, Appendix V. In addition, the state submittal has met the public
notice requirements for SIP submission in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102
and met the substantive SIP requirements of the CAA including section
110.

What action is EPA taking?

    We are approving the request to amend the Missouri SIP to include
revisions to the Kansas City solvent metal cleaning rule, 10 CSR 10-
2.210, Control of Emissions From Solvent Metal Cleaning.
    We are processing this action as a direct final action because the
revisions make routine changes to the existing rules which are
noncontroversial and make regulatory revisions, required by state
statute. Therefore, we do not anticipate any adverse comments. Please
note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule and if
that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse
comment.

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 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 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 19, 2008. 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).)
