SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The SIP is a living document that a state revises as necessary to
address its unique air pollution problems. Therefore, from time to
time, the EPA must take action on SIP revisions containing new and/or
revised regulations, approving and incorporating them into the SIP. On
May 22, 1997, the EPA revised the procedures for incorporating by
reference federally-approved SIPs, as a result of consultations between
the EPA and the Office of the Federal Register (OFR) (62 FR 27968). The
description of the revised SIP document, IBR procedures and
``Identification of plan'' format is discussed in further detail in the
May 22, 1997, Federal Register document. On April 10, 2014, the EPA
published a Federal Register beginning the new IBR procedure for Alaska
(79 FR 19820). Since then, the EPA has approved and incorporated by
reference the following provisions of Alaska Administrative Code (18
AAC 50), Alaska Statutes (AS), and Fairbanks North Star Borough (FNSB)
Code into the Alaska SIP.

II. EPA Action

    In this action, the EPA is announcing the update to the IBR
material as of September 8, 2017. The EPA is correcting minor
typographical errors and rearranging and republishing the contents of
subsection 52.70(c). The EPA is also rearranging and republishing the
contents of subsection 52.70(e) to align the contents with the outline
of the Alaska state plan volumes and sections. We note we are
correcting entries 18 AAC 50.075 and 18 AAC 50.077 in subsection
52.70(c) to accurately reflect the portions of these rule sections that
were withdrawn by the State and not approved into the SIP (September 8,
2017, 82 FR 42457). We are also correcting the table in subsection
52.70(e) to reflect our approval of the appendices to the Regional Haze
Plan at entry III.III.K. (February 14, 2013, 78 FR 10546) and our most
recent approval of the State Air Statutes at entry III.II.A. (September
19, 2014, 79 FR 56268).
    The EPA has determined that this rule falls under the ``good
cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes
agencies to dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3)
which allows an agency to make a rule effective immediately (thereby
avoiding the 30-day delayed

effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). This rule simply
codifies provisions which are already in effect as a matter of law in
federal and approved state programs. Under section 553 of the APA, an
agency may find good cause where procedures are ``impractical,
unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest.'' Public comment is
``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' since the
codification only reflects existing law. Immediate notice in the CFR
benefits the public by removing outdated citations and incorrect table
entries.

III. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of
previously EPA-approved regulations promulgated by Alaska and
federally-effective prior to September 8, 2017. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA Region 10 Office (please contact
the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

A. General Requirements

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), 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, the 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 Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 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 this action does not involve technical standards; and
     does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority
to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or
environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it
impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal
law.
    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
Alaska regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office
(see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).

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. The 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

    The EPA has also determined that the provisions of section
307(b)(1) of the CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are
not applicable to this action. Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each
individual component of the Alaska SIP compilations had previously
afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for
judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, the
EPA sees no need in this action to reopen the 60-day period for filing
such petitions for judicial review for this ``Identification of plan''
update action for Alaska.

MEMORANDUM
TO:		Docket EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0790
FROM:	Mary Johnson, EPA/OAR/OAQPS/SPPD
DATE:	November 2012
SUBJECT:	National Renderers Association July 15, 2011 Letter
            Area Source Industrial/Commercial/Institutional Boilers

The National Renderers Association (NRA) submitted to the EPA Air and Radiation Docket a letter dated July 15, 2011 that requested changes to the Area Source Boiler Rule. The NRA asserted that their requested changes must be considered because the EPA changed the definition for liquid fuels in the final rule from the proposed rule without an opportunity for comment. The NRA stated their belief that the EPA should determine that processed fats are a separate non-petroleum liquid fuel and that processed fats are not subject to regulation under subpart JJJJJJ. Specifically, the NRA requested a new processed fats-fired boiler unit definition in subpart JJJJJJ, analogous to gas-fired boilers.
The definition of liquid fuel in the March 21, 2011 final rule (76 FR 15554) included another example of liquid fuel (i.e., liquid biofuels) and clarified that the definition was not limited to only those examples of liquid fuels cited (i.e., means, but not limited to). We note that the submittal of comments by the NRA on the 2010 proposed rule (EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0790-0937) indicate that the NRA was on notice that processed fats-fired boilers may have been subject to the provisions of the Area Source Boiler Rule.
In the June 10, 2010 proposed rule notice (75 FR 31896), the EPA explained the basis for defining gas-fired boilers as not being part of the source category. Comparisons of processed fats-fired boilers to gas-fired boilers could have been raised during the public comment period for the initial rulemaking. In its comments on the proposed rule (EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0790-0937), the NRA recognized that processed fats-fired boilers were covered by the Area Source Boiler Rule but did not suggest that those boilers should have been treated in a way that is analogous to gas-fired boilers.
Upon consideration of the issues raised by the NRA in the July 15, 2011, letter, the content of the notices described above, and the NRA's timely comments on the June 2010 proposed rule, we deem its letter to be a request for reconsideration and deny its request. We conclude that the NRA has not demonstrated that its objections to the rule could not have been raised in the comment period nor has it established that the issue arose after the comment period but within 60 days of publication of the final rule.
