21 CFR Part 2

[Docket No. FDA-2015-N-1355]

Use of Ozone-Depleting Substances; Request for Comment Concerning
Essential-Use Designations

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice and request for public comment.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is seeking
public comment on whether the uses of ozone-depleting substances
(ODSs), including chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), in certain FDA-regulated
products currently designated essential are no longer essential under
the Clean Air Act due to the availability of alternatives that do not
use CFCs or because the products are no longer being marketed.
Essential-use products are exempt from FDA's ban on the use of CFC
propellants in FDA-regulated products and the Environmental Protection
Agency's (EPA's) ban on the use of CFCs in pressurized dispensers. FDA
is seeking public comment because it is responsible for determining
which FDA-regulated products that release CFCs or other ODSs are
essential uses under the Clean Air Act. FDA is soliciting comments to
assist the Agency in striking an appropriate balance that will best
protect the public health, both by ensuring the availability of an
adequate number of alternatives and by curtailing the release of ODSs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Any drug, device, cosmetic, or food contained in an aerosol product
or other pressurized dispenser that releases a CFC or other ODS
propellant is not an essential use of the ODS under the Clean Air Act
except as provided in 21 CFR 2.125(c) and (e). This prohibition is
based on scientific research indicating that CFCs reduce the amount of
ozone in the stratosphere and thereby increase the amount of
ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth. An increase in ultraviolet
radiation will increase the incidence of skin cancer, and produce other
adverse effects of unknown magnitude on humans, animals, and plants.
Sections 2.125(c) and (e) provide exemptions for essential uses of ODSs
for certain products containing ODS propellants that FDA determines
provide unique health benefits that would not be available without the
use of a CFC.
    EPA regulations implementing the provisions of section 610 of the
Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7671i) contain a general ban on the use of
CFCs in pressurized dispensers, such as metered-dose inhalers (MDIs)
(40 CFR 82.64(c) and 82.66(d)). These EPA regulations exempt from the
general ban ``medical devices'' that FDA considers essential and that
are listed in 21 CFR 2.125(e). Section 601(8) of the Clean Air Act (42
U.S.C. 7671(8)) defines ``medical device'' as any device (as defined in
the FD&C Act), diagnostic product, drug (as defined in the FD&C Act),
and drug delivery system, if such device, diagnostic product, drug, or
drug delivery system uses a class I or class II ODS for which no safe
and effective alternative has been developed (and, where necessary,
approved by the Commissioner of Food and Drugs (the Commissioner)); and
if such device, diagnostic product, drug, or drug delivery system has,
after notice and opportunity for public comment, been approved and
determined to be essential by the Commissioner in consultation with the
Administrator of EPA (the Administrator). Class I substances include
CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform, methyl bromide,
and other chemicals not relevant to this document (see 40 CFR part 82,
appendix A to subpart A). Class II substances include
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (see 40 CFR part 82, appendix B to subpart A).
    Production of ODSs is being phased out worldwide under the terms of
the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer
(Montreal Protocol), Sept. 16, 1987, S. Treaty Doc. No. 10, 100th
Cong., 1st sess., 26 I.L.M. 1541 (1987). In accordance with the
provisions of the Montreal Protocol, under authority of Title VI of the
Clean Air Act (section 601 et seq.), manufacture of ODSs, including
CFCs, in the United States was banned generally as of January 1, 1996.
To receive permission to manufacture CFCs in the United States after
the phase-out date, manufacturers must obtain an exemption from the
phase-out requirements from the Parties to the Montreal Protocol.
Procedures for securing an essential-use exemption under the Montreal
Protocol are described in the most recent request by EPA for
applications for exemptions (60 FR 54349, October 23, 1995). Firms that
wish to use CFCs manufactured after the phase-out date in medical
devices (as defined in section 601(8) of the Clean Air Act) covered
under section 610 of the Clean Air Act must receive exemptions for
essential uses under the Montreal Protocol.
    Faced with the statutorily mandated phase-out of the production of
CFCs, drug manufacturers have developed alternatives to MDIs and other
self-pressurized drug dosage forms that do not contain ODSs. Examples
of these alternative dosage forms are MDIs that use non-ODSs as
propellants and dry-powder inhalers. The current and future
availability of technically feasible alternatives to the use of a CFC
may mean that the existing listing of an essential use in 21 CFR
2.125(e) no longer reflects current conditions. It is with this
situation in mind that FDA is seeking public comment regarding the
Agency's consideration of whether certain uses of ODSs are no longer
essential.
    FDA is soliciting comments to assist the Agency in striking an
appropriate balance that will best protect the public health by
ensuring the availability of an adequate number of treatment
alternatives and by curtailing the release of ODSs.

II. Listed Uses That May No Longer Be Considered Essential

    There are certain uses of CFCs currently listed in 21 CFR 2.125(e)
as essential that may no longer be considered as essential. Section
2.125(g) sets forth standards for determining whether the use of an ODS
in a medical product is no longer essential. FDA is seeking public
comment concerning whether the following uses should still be
considered essential:

A. Sterile Aerosol Talc Administered Intrapleurally by Thoracoscopy for
Human Use (21 CFR 2.125(e)(4)(ix))

    There is currently one sterile aerosol talc product containing ODSs
which is approved for administration intrapleurally by thoracoscopy for
human use for the treatment of recurrent malignant pleural effusion
(MPE) in symptomatic patients. Under 21 CFR 2.125(g)(3), an essential-
use designation for individual active moieties marketed as ODS products
and represented by one new drug application may no longer be essential
if:
     At least one non-ODS product with the same active moiety
is marketed with the same route of administration, for the same
indication, and with approximately the same level of convenience of use
as the ODS product containing that active moiety;
     Supplies and production capacity for the non-ODS
product(s) exist or will exist at levels sufficient to meet patient
need;

     Adequate U.S. postmarketing-use data are available for the
non-ODS product(s); and
     Patients who medically require the ODS product are
adequately served by the non-ODS product(s) containing that active
moiety and other available products (21 CFR 2.125(g)(3)).
    Sterile aerosol talc is currently marketed for intrapleural
administration in two non-ODS formulations--powder and aerosol. Sterile
aerosol talc is a powder formulation of talc available for intrapleural
administration via chest tube. Sclerosol Intrapleural Aerosol (sterile
talc powder) is an aerosol formulation which contains the propellant,
hydrofluoroalkane (HFA) 134a and is approved for intrapleural
administration. Sclerosol Intrapleural Alcohol, a form of aerosol
sterile talc, is indicated for the treatment of recurrent MPE in
symptomatic patients.
    The route of administration, indications, and level of convenience
appear to be the same for the ODS and non-ODS formulations of sterile
aerosol talc. Moreover, because production of non-ODS formulations are
not limited by restrictions on the use of ODSs, the Agency believes
that non-ODS formulations can be produced at greater quantities and
have the potential to be more widely available than prior formulations
that contained ODSs. In addition, there is adequate U.S. postmarketing-
use data indicating that the non-ODS products are available in
sufficient quantities to serve the current patient population. For
these reasons, we believe that patients may be adequately served by the
non-ODS products containing sterile aerosol talc. Thus, FDA is seeking
public comment concerning whether sterile aerosol talc administered
intrapleurally by thoracoscopy for human use is no longer an essential
use of ODSs described in 21 CFR 2.125(e).

B. Drug Products That Are No Longer Being Marketed

    Under 21 CFR 2.125(g)(1), an active moiety may no longer be an
essential-use (21 CFR 2.125(e)) if it is no longer marketed in an
approved ODS formulation. FDA believes failure to market indicates non-
essentiality because the absence of a demand sufficient for even one
company to market the product is highly indicative that the use is not
essential.
    FDA is seeking public comment as to whether metered-dose atropine
sulfate aerosol human drugs administered by oral inhalation (21 CFR
2.125(e)(4)(vi)) and anesthetic drugs for topical use on accessible
mucous membranes of humans where a cannula is used for application (21
CFR 2.125(e)(4)(iii)) are no longer essential uses as described at 21
CFR 2.125(e). FDA has information that these products are not currently
being marketed in an approved form that releases ODSs, and, under 21
CFR 2.125(g)(1), they may no longer constitute an essential-use.
Because these products are no longer being marketed, FDA does not
believe that loss of essential use status would not result in any drugs
being made unavailable to patients.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    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 Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the 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 modify the Air Traffic Route structure in the
northeastern United States to maintain the efficient flow of air
traffic.

History

    The FAA published a notice of proposed rulemaking for Docket No.
FAA-2020-1146 in the Federal Register (86 FR 5046; January 19, 2021),
modifying 11 VOR Federal airways; removing 10 VOR Federal airways;
modifying four low altitude RNAV routes (T-routes); establishing seven
T-routes; modifying two high altitude RNAV routes (Q-route); and
establishing one Q-route. This action supports the Northeast Corridor
Atlantic Coast Route Project, and the VOR Minimum Operational Network
(VOR MON) Program to improve the efficiency of the NAS and reduce
dependency on ground-based navigational systems. Interested parties
were invited to participate in this rulemaking effort by submitting
written comments on the proposal. No comments were received.
    Domestic VOR Federal airways are published in paragraph 6010(a);
United States area navigation routes are published in paragraph 6011;
and Canadian area navigation routes are published in paragraphs 2007,
and 6013; respectively, of FAA Order 7400.11E, dated July 21, 2020, and
effective September 15, 2020, which is incorporated by reference in 14
CFR 71.1. The VOR Federal airways and area navigation routes listed in
this document will be subsequently published in the Order.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This action amends FAA Order 7400.11E, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated July 21, 2020 and effective September 15, 2020.
FAA Order 7400.11E is publicly available as listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this rule. FAA Order 7400.11E lists Class A, B, C, D, and E
airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and reporting points.

Differences From the Proposal

    The following editorial corrections are included in this rule:
    Subsequent to the publication of the NPRM, the FAA determined that
the proposed amendments to VOR Federal airways V-39 and V-93 would be
delayed to a later date. This is due to a delay in the planned
decommissioning date for the Keene, NH (EEN), VORTAC. Therefore, the
amendments to V-39 and V-93 are removed from this rule.
    Q-844: A correction to route Q-844 is added to this rule to update
the description of the VIBRU waypoint (WP) to reflect its new position.
The NPRM included the VIBRU update in the description of route T-634,
but the same change in Q-844 was unintentionally omitted from the NPRM.
    T-662: In the NPRM preamble description, the spelling of the DEPIR
WP is corrected to read DEPRI WP.
    T-705: The spelling of the SRACK WP is corrected to read SRNAK WP.
    The above changes do not affect the alignment of the routes.

The Rule

    This action amends 14 CFR part 71 by modifying nine VOR Federal
airways; removing 10 VOR Federal airways; modifying four low altitude
RNAV routes (T-routes); establishing seven T-routes; amending two high
altitude RNAV routes (Q-route); and establishing one Q-route.

from the Syracuse, NY, VORTAC, to the Hancock, NY, VOR/DME. As amended,
the route extends between Hancock, NY, and SSENA, NY.
    The following section describes changes to Canadian low altitude
RNAV routes.
    T-608: T-608 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into
U.S. airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758; September 26, 2014). It currently
extends from the HOCKE, MI, WP, through Canadian airspace, and ends at
the WOZEE, NY, WP. This action extends the route from the WOZEE WP
eastward into U.S. airspace to the YANTC, CT, WP. The amended T-608
replaces VOR Federal airway V-2 between the WOZEE, NY, WP and the
Gardner, MA (GDM), VORTAC; and replaces V-14 between the Albany, NY
(ALB), VORTAC and the YANTC, CT, WP. The YANTC, CT, WP replaces the
Norwich, CT (ORW), VOR/DME. The LAMMS, NY, WP replaces the Utica, NY
(UCA), VORTAC. As amended, T-608 extends from the HOCKE, MI, WP,
through Canadian airspace, to the WOZEE, NY, WP, and from the WOZEE WP,
to the YANCT WP. The order of points listed in the route description is
changed to read from ``west to east'' to comply with formatting
requirements.
    T-634: T-634 is an existing Canadian route that is being extended
into U.S. airspace. The route currently ends at the VIBRU, Canada, WP
(adjacent to the U.S./Canadian border). The VIBRU WP is moved 0.55
nautical miles (NM) to the south of its current position to align it
with the U.S./Canada border. It is re-labeled as ``VIBRU, NY.'' The FAA
is extending T-634 into U.S. airspace between the Syracuse, NY, VORTAC,
and the VIBRU, NY, WP. The extended portion of the route replaces VOR
Federal airway V-145 as described above.
    T-662: T-662 is a Canadian route that is extended into U.S.
airspace between the DEPRI, ME, WP, and the HULTN, ME, WP. The HULTN WP
replaces the Houlton, ME, (HUL) VOR/DME. The HULTN WP is located 60
feet east of the Houlton VOR/DME. T-662 extends across Maine from the
DEPRI, ME, WP to the KATAH, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP. T-662
replaces VOR Federal airway V-352 as described above.
    T-698: T-698 is a Canadian route that is extended across the State
of Maine from the EBGIX, ME, WP, to the HULTN, ME, WP, to the ACTON,
ME, WP. The EBGIX WP is moved 1.16NM east of its current position to
coincide with the U.S./Canada border in western Maine. The ACTON WP is
a new point added on the U.S./Canada border to the southeast of the
Houlton, ME (HUL), VOR/DME.
    T-705: T-705 is an existing Canadian route that was extended into
U.S. airspace, between the U.S./Canadian border, and the Utica, NY,
VORTAC, in 2018 (83 FR 31855; July 10, 2018). This action extends T-705
further southward to the DANZI, NY, WP (near the Delancey, NY, VOR/
DME). The Utica, NY, VORTAC, and the Saranac Lake, NY, VOR/DME are
removed from the route. The new LAMMS, NY, WP replaces the Utica
VORTAC, and the new SRNAC, NY, WP replaces the Saranac Lake VOR/DME in
the route description. The MUTNA, Canada, WP is moved 0.79NM southward
to align with the U.S./Canada border. It is re-labeled as ``MUTNA,
NY.'' As amended, the U.S. portion of T-705 extends between the DANZI,
NY, WP and MUTNA, NY, WP at the U.S./Canadian border.
    T-781: T-781 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S.
airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758; September 26, 2014). Currently, the U.S.
portion of the route extends from the Flint, MI, VORTAC, eastward to
the AXOBU, Canada, WP (in the vicinity of the U.S./Canadian border near
Port Huron, MI). T-781 then continues eastward across Canada and
terminates at the PINTE, Canada Fix (on the U.S./Canadian border). The
PINTE Fix is moved 0.07 NM east to align with the U.S./Canada border
and is converted to a WP. This action extends T-781 eastward from the
PINTE, ME, WP to terminate at the HULTN, ME, WP. As amended, the U.S.
portion of T-781 extends between the Flint, MI, VORTAC, and the AXOBU,
Canada, Fix; and between the PINTE, ME, WP, and the HULTN, ME, WP.
    The following section describes the changes to Canadian high
altitude RNAV routes.
    Q-844: Q-844 is a Canadian route that extends between the Syracuse,
NY, VORTAC (SYR) and the VIBRU, Canada, WP. The VIBRU, Canada, WP is
moved 0.55 NM south of its current position to coincide with the U.S./
Canada border. The WP is renamed ``VIBRU, NY,'' and the geographic
latitude/longitude is updated to reflect the new position.
    Q-806: Q-806 is a Canadian route that was extended into U.S.
airspace in 2014 (79 FR 57758; September 26, 2014). The U.S. portion
currently extends from the MEKSO, Canada, WP, eastward through the
Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the CANME, ME, WP, and the VOGET, Canada,
WP. Canada is realigning Q-806 by shifting the route segment from the
MEKSO, Canada, WP, southward to the VINDI, Canada, WP. The VINDI WP is
moved 0.13NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canada border and listed
as ``VINDI, ME.'' Consequently, this action removes the route segment
between the MEKSO WP and the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, and adds the
segment

between the VINDI, ME, WP, and the Millinocket VOR/DME. The VIGDU,
Canada, WP is moved 0.50 NM westward to align with the U.S./Canada
border and listed as ``VIGDU, ME.'' The VIGDU, ME, WP is added east of
the CANME, ME, WP. As amended, the U.S. portion of Q-806 extends from
the VINDI, ME, WP, eastward to the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the
CANME, ME, WP, to the VIGDU, ME, WP.
    Q-864: Q-864 is an existing Canadian route that is extended into
U.S. airspace across northern Maine. The route currently ends at the
EBGIX, Canada, WP (at the U.S./Canadian border in western Maine). This
action extends the route eastward from the EBGIX WP, across the State
of Maine, running north of the Millinocket, ME, VOR/DME, to the TUGUB,
Canada, WP (located southeast of the Houlton, ME, VOR/DME) where it
rejoins the remainder of Q-864 into Canada. The EBGIX WP is moved
1.16NM eastward to align with the U.S./Canadian border, and the TUGUB
WP is moved 1.23NM westward to align with the U.S./Canada border. The
amended Q-864 extends between the EBGIX, ME, WP, and the TUGUB, ME, WP.
    The full descriptions of the above route changes are found in ``The
Amendment'' section of this rule.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this action 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
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 only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of modifying nine VOR
Federal airways; removing 10 VOR Federal airways; amending four T-
routes; establishing 7 T-routes; amending two Q-routes; and
establishing one Q-route, in the northeast United States, qualifies for
categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act (42
U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and its implementing regulations at 40 CFR part
1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, Environmental Impacts:
Policies and Procedures, paragraph 5-6.5a, which categorically excludes
from further environmental impact review rulemaking actions that
designate or modify classes of airspace areas, airways, routes, and
reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation of Class A, B, C, D,
and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes; and Reporting
Points). As such, this action is not expected to cause any potentially
significant environmental impacts. In accordance with FAA Order
1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary Circumstances, the FAA
has reviewed this action for factors and circumstances in which a
normally categorically excluded action may have a significant
environmental impact requiring further analysis. The FAA has determined
that no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant preparation of
an environmental assessment or environmental impact study.

in the Federal Register]  without further notice, unless EPA receives
adverse written comment by [Insert date 30 days after publication in the
Federal Register].  If EPA receives such comments, it will publish a
timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and
inform the public that the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES:  Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID Number
R03-OAR-2007-1157 by one of the following methods:

	A. www.regulations.gov.  Follow the on-line instructions for submitting
comments.

information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you
submit.  If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to
consider your comment.  Electronic files should avoid the use of special
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or
viruses.

Docket:  All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute.  Certain other material, such
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form.  Publicly available docket
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or
in hard copy during normal business hours at the Air Protection
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I.  Summary of SIP Revisions

On October 24, 2007, the State of Maryland submitted a formal revision
(#07-11) to its SIP.  The SIP revision consists of a revised reference
to the Federal definition of “Volatile organic compounds (VOC)” at
40 CFR 51.100(s) which is found at COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(53), Maryland(s
definition for (Volatile organic compound (VOC)(. These regulatory
revisions became effective on October 8, 2007.

II. Description of the SIP Revision

Maryland has revised COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(53) to incorporate by reference
the EPA definition of VOC found at 40 CFR § 51.100(s), as amended.
Maryland’s current SIP definition of VOC specifically references the
2004 edition of 40 CFR § 51.100(s). This wording change allows Maryland
to incorporate by reference the current and all future revisions of 40
CFR § 51.100(s) into COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(53) without requiring a
regulatory change to the Maryland rule.  Maryland states that it can
incorporate this Federal rule prospectively as a result of a change to

§ 7-207(a)(3)(iii)2, State Government Article, Annotated Code of
Maryland, which the State enacted in 2005.

III. Final Action

EPA is approving the amendment to COMAR <IP_ADDRESS>B(53) as a revision
to the Maryland SIP.  EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal
because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and
anticipates no adverse comment since the revisions are administrative
changes to the state regulations.  However, in the (Proposed Rules(
section of today(s Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate
document that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if
adverse comments are filed. This rule will be effective on [Insert date
60 days from date of publication in the Federal Register] without
further notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by [Insert date 30
days from date of publication in the Federal Register].  If EPA receives
adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect.  EPA
will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule.  EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
action.  Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.

IV.    Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A.   General Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action
is not a “significant regulatory action” and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and

 Budget.  For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive
Order 13211, "Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use" (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).  This
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).  Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state
law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4).   This rule also does not have
tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect
on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does
not have substantial direct effects 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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).  This
action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, and
does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act.  This rule also is
not subject to Executive Order 13045 “Protection of Children from
Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks” (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997), because it is not economically significant.  In reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA(s role is to approve state choices, provided that they
meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.  In this context, in the absence
of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for
failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law
for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP
submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act.
 Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.
This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.).

B.   Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

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.  This rule is not a
“major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C.  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 [insert date 60 days from date of
publication of this document in the Federal Register].  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 to approve Maryland(s revised definition of
“Volatile organic compound (VOC)” may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements.  (See section 307(b)(2).)
