[EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0813; FRL-9925-30-Region 9]

Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes;
California; San Joaquin Valley; Reclassification as Serious
Nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to reclassify the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) Moderate
nonattainment area, including areas of Indian country within it, as a
Serious nonattainment area for the 1997 PM2.5 national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) based on EPA's determination that
the area cannot practicably attain these NAAQS by the applicable
attainment date of April 5, 2015 and in response to a request from the
SJV Air Pollution Control District that we reclassify the area. As a
consequence of this reclassification, California must submit a Serious
area plan including a demonstration that the plan provides for
attainment of the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5 standards in
the SJV area by the applicable attainment date, which is no later than
December 31, 2015, or by the most expeditious alternative date
practicable, in accordance with the requirements of part D of title I
of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on May 7, 2015.

I. Proposed Action

    On January 12, 2015 (80 FR 1482), EPA proposed to reclassify the
SJV nonattainment area, including areas of Indian country within it,
from Moderate nonattainment to Serious nonattainment for the 1997
annual and 24-hour PM2.5 standards based on EPA's
determination that the area cannot practicably attain these NAAQS by
the applicable attainment date of April 5, 2015.\1\ Under section
188(b)(1) of the CAA, prior to an area's attainment date, EPA has
discretionary authority to reclassify as a Serious nonattainment area
``any area that the Administrator determines cannot practicably
attain'' the PM2.5 NAAQS by the applicable Moderate area
attainment date.\2\ On September 25, 2014, the District requested that
EPA reclassify the SJV nonattainment area as Serious nonattainment for
the 1997 PM2.5 standards. This request included a
demonstration that the SJV area cannot practicably attain the 1997
annual PM2.5 standard by the April 5,

2015 attainment date.\3\ EPA's proposed reclassification of the SJV
area was based upon our evaluation of ambient air quality data for the
2003-2014 period indicating that it is not practicable for certain
monitoring sites within the SJV area to show PM2.5 design
values at or below the level of the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS by
April 5, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See proposed rule at 80 FR 1482 (January 12, 2015) for a
more detailed discussion of the background for this action,
including the history of the PM2.5 NAAQS established in
1997, health effects and sources of PM2.5, designation of
the SJV as nonattainment for the PM2.5 standards, and
EPA's actions on the submittals from the state of California to
address the nonattainment area planning requirements for the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS in the SJV.
    \2\ Section 188(b)(1) of the Act is a general expression of
delegated rulemaking authority. See ``State Implementation Plans;
General Preamble for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990,'' 57 FR 13498 (April 16, 1992) (hereafter
``General Preamble'') at 13537, n. 15. Although subparagraphs (A)
and (B) of section 188(b)(1) mandate that EPA reclassify by
specified timeframes any areas that it determines appropriate for
reclassification by those dates, these subparagraphs do not restrict
the general authority but simply specify that, at a minimum, EPA's
authority must be exercised at certain times. See id.
    \3\ See letter titled ``Sadredin Memo'' in the docket for this
rulemaking at EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0813-0002.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In our proposed rule, EPA identified the additional SIP revisions
that California would, upon reclassification, have to submit to satisfy
the statutory requirements that apply to Serious areas, including the
requirements of subpart 4 of part D, title I of the Act.\4\ EPA
explained that under section 189(b)(2) of the Act, the State must
submit the required provisions to implement best available control
measures (BACM), including best available control technology (BACT), no
later than 18 months after reclassification and must submit the
required attainment demonstration no later than 4 years after
reclassification. Given the December 31, 2015, Serious area attainment
date applicable to this area under CAA section 188(c)(2), however, we
noted that we expect the State to adopt and submit a Serious area plan
for these NAAQS well before the statutory SIP submittal deadlines in
CAA section 189(b)(2).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See 80 FR 1482 at 1488 (January 12, 2015).
    \5\ Id. at 1489.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    With respect to the nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program
revisions to establish appropriate ``major stationary source''
thresholds for direct PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors
in accordance with CAA section 189(b)(3), EPA proposed to require the
State to submit these NNSR SIP revisions no later than 12 months after
the effective date of final reclassification. EPA requested comment on
this proposed 12-month timeframe but also noted that if California
intended to seek an extension of the Serious area attainment date, the
State would need to submit a request that satisfies the requirements of
CAA section 188(e), including the required NNSR SIP revisions, in time
for EPA to approve such an extension prior to the December 31, 2015
Serious area attainment date.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    EPA received one comment letter on our proposed action. The comment
letter was submitted by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control
District (``SJVAPCD'' or ``District'') on February 11, 2015, prior to
the close of the comment period on our proposal.\6\ We summarize the
District's comments and provide our responses below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See letter dated February 11, 2015, from Seyed Sadredin,
Executive Director/Air Pollution Control Officer of the SJVAPCD, to
Anita Lee, EPA Region 9, ``Re: Docket No. EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0813:
Comments on Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes;
California; San Joaquin Valley; Reclassification as Serious
Nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 Standards. Proposed Rule
(80 FR 7, pp. 1482-1491, January 12, 2015).''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comment: The SJVAPCD expresses support for EPA's proposed 12-month
timeframe for California's submission of the required NNSR SIP
revisions but objects to EPA's statement indicating that, to obtain an
extension of the attainment date under CAA section 188(e), the state
must submit these NNSR revisions ``in time for EPA to approve such an
extension prior to the December 31, 2015 Serious area attainment
date.'' The District asserts that EPA ``provides no valid justification
for this requirement'' and that section 188(e) of the Act contains ``no
mention of NSR, either directly or by implication, that would lead one
to believe that the updated NSR rule is required prior to approval of
the attainment deadline extension.'' The District contends that delays
in EPA's regulatory actions related to implementation of the 1997
PM2.5 standards justify a different schedule for this
submission.
    In sum, the District asserts that EPA is asking the District to
begin an expedited process to adopt a serious area NSR rule before the
area is reclassified as a Serious area and without implementation rules
or guidance. The SJVAPCD requests that EPA decide in the final rule to
require the District to submit a revised NNSR rule within 12 months
after EPA's final reclassification action and also to decide that
``such an NSR rule adoption deadline does not interfere with EPA's
ability to approve an attainment deadline extension under 188(e).''
    Response: As a preliminary matter, EPA notes that nothing in the
CAA requires the Agency to promulgate any implementation rules or
guidance with respect to implementation of the 1997 PM2.5
NAAQS. The statutory provisions of the 1990 CAA Amendments addressing
implementation of the PM10 NAAQS and EPA guidance for
implementation of the PM10 NAAQS dating back to 1992 and
1994 are still applicable and relevant to this action.\7\ Thus, the
absence of revised implementation rules or additional guidance is not
itself a basis for setting a particular schedule for a state to make a
statutorily required SIP submission.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ See generally subpart 4 of part D, title I of the CAA
(``Additional Provisions for Particulate Matter Nonattainment
Areas''); the General Preamble, 57 FR 13498 (April 16, 1992); and
the Addendum, 59 FR 41998 (August 16, 1994); see also Natural
Resources Defense Council (NRDC) v. EPA, 706 F.3d 428 (D.C. Cir.
2013) (ruling that the CAA requires implementation of the
PM2.5 standards under subpart 4 because PM2.5
particles fall within the statutory definition of PM10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Upon further consideration of this question, however, EPA has
determined that the specific factual circumstances in this instance
justify the 12 months sought by SJVAPCD for the submission of the NNSR
revisions. Accordingly, we are finalizing our proposal to require that
California adopt and submit NNSR SIP revisions to implement the subpart
4 requirements for Serious PM2.5 nonattainment areas in the
SJV area no later than 12 months after the effective date of this
reclassification. In light of the unique circumstances in the SJV, as
discussed below, we do not intend at this time to treat these NNSR SIP
revisions as a precondition to a request for an extension of the
Serious area attainment date under CAA section 188(e).
    Under section 188(e) of the Act, a state may apply to EPA for a
single extension of the Serious area attainment date by up to 5 years,
which EPA may grant if the State satisfies certain conditions. Before
EPA may extend the attainment date for a Serious area under section
188(e), the state must: (1) Apply for an extension of the attainment
date beyond the statutory attainment date; (2) demonstrate that
attainment by the statutory attainment date is impracticable; (3) have
complied with all requirements and commitments pertaining to the area
in the implementation plan; (4) demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Administrator that the plan for the area includes the most stringent
measures that are included in the implementation plan of any State or
are achieved in practice in any State, and can feasibly be implemented
in the area; and (5) submit a demonstration of attainment by the most
expeditious alternative date practicable.\8\ Section

188(e) does not explicitly require the state to have a fully approved
NNSR program that meets the Act's Serious area requirements before it
may qualify for an extension of the Serious area attainment date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ For a discussion of EPA's interpretation of the requirements
of section 188(e), see ``State Implementation Plans for Serious
PM10 Nonattainment Areas, and Attainment Date Waivers for
PM10 Nonattainment Areas Generally; Addendum to the
General Preamble for the Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air
Act Amendments of 1990,'' 59 FR 41998 (August 16, 1994) (hereafter
``Addendum'') at 42002; 65 FR 19964 (April 13, 2000) (proposed
action on PM10 Plan for Maricopa County, Arizona); 66 FR
50252 (October 2, 2001) (proposed action on PM10 Plan for
Maricopa County, Arizona); 67 FR 48718 (July 25, 2002) (final action
on PM10 Plan for Maricopa County, Arizona); and Vigil v.
EPA, 366 F.3d 1025, amended at 381 F.3d 826 (9th Cir. 2004)
(remanding EPA action on PM10 Plan for Maricopa County,
Arizona, but generally upholding EPA's interpretation of CAA section
188(e)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As a result of today's reclassification of the SJV as Serious
nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, California is
required to submit NNSR SIP revisions consistent with the requirements
of subpart 4, including revisions to establish appropriate ``major
stationary source'' thresholds for direct PM2.5 and
PM2.5 precursors in accordance with CAA section 189(b)(3).
Given the timing of this reclassification, just months before the
latest permissible Serious area attainment date (December 31, 2015),
and the unusually short timeframe for the State's development and
submission of a plan to provide for attainment of the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS by this date,\9\ we find it reasonable to
provide the State a small amount of additional time to adopt and submit
the Serious area NNSR SIP revisions required under subpart 4.
Accordingly, under these particular circumstances, we do not expect the
State to submit the required NNSR SIP revisions simultaneously with the
Serious area attainment plan or with a request for an extension of the
Serious area attainment date under CAA section 188(e). Instead, this
final action requires the state to submit the NNSR SIP revisions
required under subpart 4 no later than 12 months after the effective
date of the reclassification.\10\ The State will need to submit the
Serious area attainment plan and the section 188(e) extension request
before December 31, 2015 to satisfy the statutory requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ As explained in our proposed rule (see 80 FR 1482 at 1483-
1484), on January 4, 2013 the D.C. Circuit remanded EPA's 2007 and
2008 rules to implement the PM2.5 NAAQS and directed EPA
to repromulgate these rules pursuant to subpart 4 of part D, title I
of the Act. On June 2, 2014, EPA promulgated a rule classifying all
PM2.5 nonattainment areas as Moderate under subpart 4 and
establishing a deadline for states to submit SIPs necessary to
satisfy the Moderate area requirements (see 79 FR 31566, June 2,
2014). By this time, just over 18 months remained before the Serious
area attainment date applicable to the SJV area under CAA section
188(c)(2), which is December 31, 2015. See 80 FR 1482 at 1484, 1487
(January 12, 2015).
    \10\ As explained in our proposed rule, a 12-month timeframe
provides the State a reasonable amount of time to make these
relatively straightforward NNSR SIP revisions while assuring that
new or modified major stationary sources of PM2.5 in the
SJV area will be subject to the applicable NNSR requirements as
expeditiously as practicable. See 80 FR 1482 at 1489.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EPA has recently issued a new proposed rulemaking to implement the
PM2.5 NAAQS in accordance with the requirements of subparts
1 and 4 of part D, title I of the Act.\11\ As part of this proposed
rulemaking, the Agency is seeking comment on how to interpret the
criteria in section 188(e) for granting state requests for an extension
of a Serious area attainment date prospectively. Until the Agency
finalizes that proposed rule, EPA encourages the State and District to
review the statutory provisions of the CAA applicable to implementation
of the PM10 NAAQS, and EPA's prior guidance in the General
Preamble and Addendum, as they develop the SIP revisions necessary to
satisfy the Serious area requirements that now apply in the SJV
PM2.5 nonattainment area.\12\ Until EPA finalizes any new
implementation rule for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, the existing
guidance in the General Preamble and Addendum provide the Agency's
recommendations for SIP submissions required for the PM2.5
NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \11\ See http://www.epa.gov/airquality/particlepollution/actions.html.
    \12\ See generally the General Preamble, 57 FR 13498 (April 16,
1992) and Addendum, 59 FR 41998 (August 16, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Final Action

A. Reclassification as Serious Nonattainment and Applicable Attainment
Date

    In accordance with section 188(b)(1) of the Act, EPA is taking
final action to reclassify the SJV area from Moderate to Serious
nonattainment for the 1997 annual and 24-hour PM2.5
standards of 15.0 and 65 [mu]g/m\3\, respectively, based on EPA's
determination that the SJV area cannot practicably attain these
standards by the applicable attainment date of April 5, 2015.
    Under section 188(c)(2) of the Act, the attainment date for a
Serious area ``shall be as expeditiously as practicable but no later
than the end of the tenth calendar year beginning after the area's
designation as nonattainment. . . .'' The SJV area was designated
nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 standards effective April
5, 2005.\13\ Therefore, as a result of our reclassification of the SJV
area as a Serious nonattainment area, the latest permissible attainment
date under section 188(c)(2) of the Act, for purposes of the 1997
PM2.5 standards in this area, is December 31, 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ See 70 FR 944 at 956, 957 (January 5, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Reclassification of Areas of Indian Country 14
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ ``Indian country'' as defined at 18 U.S.C. 1151 refers to:
``(a) all land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the
jurisdiction of the United States Government, notwithstanding the
issuance of any patent, and, including rights-of-way running through
the reservation, (b) all dependent Indian communities within the
borders of the United States whether within the original or
subsequently acquired territory thereof, and whether within or
without the limits of a state, and (c) all Indian allotments, the
Indian titles to which have not been extinguished, including rights-
of-way running through the same.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Eight Indian tribes are located within the boundaries of the San
Joaquin Valley PM2.5 nonattainment area: The Big Sandy
Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, the Cold Springs Rancheria of
Mono Indians of California, the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of
California, the Picayune Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California,
the Santa Rosa Rancheria of the Tachi Yokut Tribe, the Table Mountain
Rancheria of California, the Tejon Indian Tribe, and the Tule River
Indian Tribe of the Tule River Reservation.
    We have considered the relevance of our final action to reclassify
the SJV nonattainment area as Serious for the 1997 PM2.5
standards to each tribe located within the SJV area. As discussed in
more detail in our proposed rule, we believe that the same facts and
circumstances that support the reclassification for the non-Indian
country lands also support reclassification for Indian country located
within the SJV nonattainment area.\15\ In this final action, EPA is
therefore exercising our authority under CAA section 188(b)(1) to
reclassify areas of Indian country geographically located in the SJV
nonattainment area. Section 188(b)(1) broadly authorizes EPA to
reclassify a nonattainment area--including any area of Indian country
located within such area--that EPA determines cannot practicably attain
the relevant standard by the applicable attainment date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \15\ See 80 FR 1482 at 1488 (January 12, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effect of reclassification would be to lower the applicable
``major stationary source'' emissions thresholds for direct
PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors for purposes of the
NNSR program and the Title V operating permit program (CAA sections
189(b)(3) and 501(2)(B)) thus subjecting more new or modified
stationary sources to these requirements. The reclassification may also
lower the de minimis threshold under the CAA's General Conformity
requirements (40 CFR part 93, subpart B) from 100 tpy to 70 tpy. Under
the General Conformity requirements, Federal agencies bear the
responsibility

of determining conformity of actions in nonattainment and maintenance
areas that require Federal permits, approvals, or funding. Such
permits, approvals or funding by Federal agencies for projects in these
areas of Indian country may be more difficult to obtain because of the
lower de minimis thresholds.
    Given the potential implications of the reclassification, EPA
contacted tribal officials to invite government-to-government
consultation on this rulemaking effort.\16\ EPA did not receive
comments on our proposed rule from any tribe. On February 17, 2015,
after the close of the comment period on our proposal, EPA received a
letter dated January 30, 2015, from the Tejon Tribe expressing interest
in developing a better understanding of the reclassification and
implications for air quality.\17\ EPA invited the Tejon Tribe to
participate in a conference call during the week of February 23, 2015,
to discuss the Tribe's questions.\18\ We continue to invite Indian
tribes in the SJV to contact EPA with any questions about the effects
of this reclassification on tribal interests and air quality. We note
that although eligible tribes may opt to seek EPA approval of relevant
tribal programs under the CAA, none of the affected tribes will be
required to submit an implementation plan to address this
reclassification.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ As discussed in more detail in our proposed rule, EPA sent
letters to tribal officials inviting government-to-government
consultation. All eight letters can be found in the docket for this
proposed action.

Morgan, Tribal Chairwoman, Tejon Indian Tribe to Kerry Drake,
Associate Director, EPA Region 9 Air Division.

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

C. PM2.5 Serious Area SIP Requirements

    As a consequence of our reclassification of the SJV area as a
Serious nonattainment area for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS,
California is required to submit additional SIP revisions to satisfy
the statutory requirements that apply to Serious areas, including the
requirements of subpart 4 of part D, title I of the Act.
    The Serious area SIP elements that California must submit are as
follows:
    1. Provisions to assure that the best available control measures
(BACM), including best available control technology (BACT) for
stationary sources, for the control of direct PM2.5 and
PM2.5 precursors shall be implemented no later than 4 years
after the area is reclassified (CAA section 189(b)(1)(B));
    2. A demonstration (including air quality modeling) that the plan
provides for attainment as expeditiously as practicable but no later
than December 31, 2015, or where the State is seeking an extension of
the attainment date under section 188(e), a demonstration that
attainment by December 31, 2015 is impracticable and that the plan
provides for attainment by the most expeditious alternative date
practicable (CAA sections 188(c)(2) and 189(b)(1)(A));
    3. Plan provisions that require reasonable further progress (RFP)
(CAA section 172(c)(2));
    4. Quantitative milestones which are to be achieved every 3 years
until the area is redesignated attainment and which demonstrate RFP
toward attainment by the applicable date (CAA section 189(c));
    5. Provisions to assure that control requirements applicable to
major stationary sources of PM2.5 also apply to major
stationary sources of PM2.5 precursors, except where the
State demonstrates to EPA's satisfaction that such sources do not
contribute significantly to PM2.5 levels that exceed the
standard in the area (CAA section 189(e));
    6. A comprehensive, accurate, current inventory of actual emissions
from all sources of PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors in
the area (CAA section 172(c)(3));
    7. Contingency measures to be implemented if the area fails to meet
RFP or to attain by the applicable attainment date (CAA section
172(c)(9)); and
    8. A revision to the NNSR program to establish appropriate ``major
stationary source'' \19\ thresholds for direct PM2.5 and
PM2.5 precursors (CAA section 189(b)(3)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ For any Serious area, the terms ``major source'' and
``major stationary source'' include any stationary source that emits
or has the potential to emit at least 70 tons per year of
PM10 (CAA section 189(b)(3)).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Section 189(b)(2) states, in relevant part, that the State must
submit the required BACM provisions ``no later than 18 months after
reclassification of the area as a Serious Area'' and must submit the
required attainment demonstration ``no later than 4 years after
reclassification of the area to Serious.'' Thus, the Act provides the
State with up to 18 months after the effective date of this
reclassification (i.e., until late 2016) to submit a BACM demonstration
and up to 4 years after this date (i.e., until early 2019) to submit a
Serious area attainment demonstration. Given the December 31, 2015
Serious area attainment date for the 1997 PM2.5 standards in
this area under CAA section 188(c)(2), however, EPA expects the State
to adopt and submit a Serious area plan for the 1997 PM2.5
standards well before the statutory SIP submittal deadlines in section
189(b)(2).
    Additionally, in light of the available ambient air quality data
and the short amount of time available before the December 31, 2015
attainment date under CAA section 188(c)(2), EPA anticipates that
California may choose to submit a request for an extension of the
Serious area attainment date pursuant to section 188(e) simultaneously
with its submittal of a Serious area plan for the area. If California
fails to submit a request for an extension of the Serious area
attainment date that satisfies the requirements of section 188(e) and
the SJV area fails to attain the 1997 PM2.5 standards by
December 31, 2015, under CAA section 189(d) the State would be required
to submit, within 12 months after December 31, 2015, plan revisions
which provide for attainment of the PM2.5 standards and,
from the date of such submission until attainment, for an annual
reduction in emissions within the SJV area of not less than 5 percent
of the amount of such emissions as reported in the most recent
inventory prepared for the area (hereafter ``section 189(d) plan'').
If, however, California submits and EPA approves a section 188(e)
request for an extension of the Serious area attainment date prior to
the December 31, 2015 attainment date for the SJV area, the requirement
to submit a section 189(d) plan would not apply unless and until the
SJV area fails to attain the 1997 PM2.5 standards by the
extended attainment date approved by EPA under section 188(e).
    Given the short amount of time available for California's
development of these SIP submittals, EPA anticipates that the Serious
area attainment demonstration for the SJV area may rely to some extent
on existing photochemical modeling analyses developed for previous
PM2.5 plan submittals. EPA commits to work with the District
and the State as they develop the necessary technical support for the
Serious area plan and to provide guidance on the requirements that
California must meet to qualify for an extension of the Serious area
attainment date under CAA section 188(e).
    Finally, for the reasons provided in our proposed rule \20\ and in
our responses to comments above, we are finalizing our proposal to
require the State to submit the NNSR SIP revisions required for Serious
areas under subpart

4 no later than 12 months after the effective date of this
reclassification.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www2.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review, and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is exempt from review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) because it relates to a designation of an area for air
quality purposes and will reclassify the SJV from its current air
quality designation of Moderate nonattainment to Serious nonattainment
for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. This action does not contain any information collection
activities.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities. The final
rule requires the state to adopt and submit SIP revisions to satisfy
the statutory requirements that apply to Serious areas, and would not
itself directly regulate any small entities (see section III.C of this
final rule).

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate of $100 million
or more and does not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, as described in UMRA (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538). This action
itself imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local, or tribal
governments, or the private sector. The final action reclassifies the
SJV nonattainment area as Serious nonattainment for the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS, which triggers existing statutory timeframes
for the state to submit SIP revisions. Such a reclassification in and
of itself does not impose any federal intergovernmental mandate. The
final action does not require any tribes to submit implementation
plans.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications.

F. Executive Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action may have tribal implications. However, it will neither
impose substantial direct compliance costs on federally recognized
tribal governments, nor preempt tribal law. Eight Indian tribes are
located within the boundaries of the SJV nonattainment area for the
1997 PM2.5 NAAQS: The Big Sandy Rancheria of Mono Indians of
California, the Cold Springs Rancheria of Mono Indians of California,
the North Fork Rancheria of Mono Indians of California, the Picayune
Rancheria of Chukchansi Indians of California, the Santa Rosa Rancheria
of the Tachi Yokut Tribe, the Table Mountain Rancheria of California,
the Tejon Indian Tribe, and the Tule River Indian Tribe of the Tule
River Reservation. We note that none of the tribes located in the SJV
nonattainment area have requested eligibility to administer programs
under the Clean Air Act. This final action affects EPA's implementation
of the new source review program because of the lower ``major
stationary source'' threshold triggered by reclassification (CAA
189(b)(3)). The final action may also affect new or modified stationary
sources proposed in these areas that require Federal permits,
approvals, or funding. Such projects are subject to the requirements of
EPA's General Conformity rule, and Federal permits, approvals, or
funding for the projects may be more difficult to obtain because of the
lower de minimis thresholds triggered by reclassification.
    Given these potential implications, consistent with the EPA Policy
on Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribes, EPA contacted
tribal officials early in the process of developing this regulation to
permit them to have meaningful and timely input into its development.
EPA invited tribal officials to consult during the development of the
proposed rule and following signature of the proposed rule. As
discussed in more detail in our proposed action, we sent letters to
leaders of the tribes with areas of Indian country in the SJV
nonattainment area inviting government-to-government consultation on
the rulemaking effort. On February 17, 2015, EPA received a letter
dated January 30, 2015 from the Tejon Tribe expressing an interest in
developing a better understanding of, among other things, the effect of
the reclassification on air quality. EPA invited the Tejon Tribe to
participate in a conference call during the week of February 23, 2015,
and EPA staff subsequently had preliminary conversations about this
action with the Tribe but has not yet received confirmation of a
request to schedule a conference call. No other Indian tribe has
expressed an interest in discussing this action with EPA. We continue
to invite Indian tribes in the SJV to contact EPA with any questions
about the effects of this reclassification on tribal interests and air
quality.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per the definition of ``covered
regulatory action'' in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it reclassifies
the SJV nonattainment area as Serious nonattainment for the 1997
PM2.5 NAAQS, which triggers additional Serious area planning
requirements under the CAA. This action does not establish an
environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This final action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because
it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    This action is not subject to the requirements of Section 12(d) of
the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) because it does not involve technical standards.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

    EPA believes the human health or environmental risk addressed by
this action will not have potential disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects on minority, low-income or
indigenous populations. This action reclassifies the SJV nonattainment
area as Serious nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS,
which triggers additional Serious area planning requirements under the
CAA.

K. Congressional Review Act

    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 rule 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). This rule will be effective on May 7, 2015.

L. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 June 8, 2015. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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)).

The Proposal

    This action proposes to amend Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations
(14

CFR), Part 71 by amending Class E airspace extending upward from 700
feet above the surface to accommodate new standard instrument approach
procedures at Chaparrosa Ranch Airport, La Pryor, TX. The existing
segment would be widened to 8 miles west and 4 miles east of the
339[deg] bearing extending from the current radius to 18 miles north of
the airport for the safety and management of IFR operations. The
airport's geographic coordinates also would be updated to coincide with
the FAA's aeronautical database.
    Class E airspace areas are published in Paragraph 6005 of FAA Order
7400.9W, dated August 8, 2012 and effective September 15, 2012, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The Class E airspace
designation listed in this document would be published subsequently 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.
It, therefore, (1) is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under 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 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 U.S. Code. Subtitle 1, 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
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section, the
FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the efficient
use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that authority
as it would amend controlled airspace at Chaparrosa Ranch Airport, La
Pryor, TX.

Environmental Review

    This proposal will be subject to an environmental analysis in
accordance with FAA Order 1050.1E, ``Environmental Impacts: Policies
and Procedures'' prior to any FAA final regulatory action.
