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 by reference into
the SIP. On May 22, 1997, the EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference federally approved SIP provisions, 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). The EPA
subsequently published an update to the IBR materials for Alaska on
December 8, 2017 (82 FR 57836). Since then, the EPA has approved and
incorporated by reference the following provisions of Alaska
Administrative Code (18 AAC 50) into the Alaska SIP.

(regulating smoke from wood burning in the Mendenhall Valley)

II. EPA Action

    In this action, the EPA is announcing the update to the Alaska
materials approved and incorporated by reference into the Alaska SIP at
40 CFR 52.70 as of February 10, 2022. The EPA is also correcting
typographical errors and rearranging and republishing the contents of
40 CFR 52.70. Specifically, in subsection 52.70(c), we are correcting
errors in the entries for 18 AAC 50.077 Standards for Wood-Fired
Heating Devices (regulating the types of heating devices allowed to be
installed and used in certain areas) and 18 AAC 50.230 Preapproved
Emission Limits (establishing pre-approved nitrogen oxide emission
limits for certain diesel engines) to accurately reflect the portions
of these rule sections that were not submitted by the State and were
not approved into the SIP (87 FR 7722, February 10, 2022). We are also
correcting section 52.70(c) by removing the entry for the Ordinance of
the City and Borough of Juneau, No. 91-52 (regulating smoke from wood
burning in the Mendenhall Valley) which was superseded by our approval
of the Ordinance of the City and Borough of Juneau, Serial No. 2008-28
(regulating solid fuel fired burning devices in the Mendenhall Valley)
(May 9, 2013, 78 FR 27071). The EPA is also rearranging and
republishing the contents of sections 52.70(c) and (e) to align the
contents with the outline of the Alaska state plan volumes and
sections.
    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 updating its compilation of state and local
regulations included in the Alaska SIP by finalizing the incorporation
by reference of previously EPA-approved regulations promulgated by
Alaska and federally effective prior to February 10, 2022. These
include new and revised provisions as listed in sections I.A. and I.B.
of this preamble. The EPA is also removing certain provisions from the
SIP as listed in section I.C. of this preamble. Lastly, the EPA is also
correcting typographical errors and rearranging and republishing the
contents of 52.70(c). The EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and 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 Order Reviews

    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 (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 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 sections I and II of this preamble. 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).
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    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.

person on the official service list for the project. Further, if an
intervenor files comments or documents with the Commission relating to
the merits of an issue that may affect the responsibilities of a
particular resource agency, they must also serve a copy of the document
on that resource agency.
    k. This application has been accepted for filing and is now ready
for environmental analysis.
    l. Project Description: Vermont Tissue Mill Project would consist
of two existing dams separated by a 500-foot-wide island and include:
(1) An existing 15-foot-high, 85-foot-long primary dam with a spillway
crest elevation of 555.0 feet above mean sea level (msl) topped with
reinstalled 4-inch-high flashboards; (2) a refurbished 6-foot-high, 8-
foot-wide flood gate located on the primary dam south abutment; (3) an
existing 6-foot-high, 80-foot-long secondary dam with a spillway crest
elevation of 555.33 feet above msl with a new 2.5-foot-high, 2.5-foot-
wide minimum flow weir equipped with stop logs; (4) an existing 2,400-
foot-long, 6.4-acre impoundment with a normal water surface elevation
of 555.41 feet above msl; (5) an existing intake structure equipped
with two 12-foot-high, 16-foot-wide flume openings equipped with stop
log slots and new trashracks connected to two water conveyance
channels, one 12-foot-high, 35-foot-long and one 12-foot-high, 85-foot-
long; (6) an existing powerhouse with two new Kaplan turbine generating
units, a 215 kilowatt (kW) unit and a 145 kW unit, with a total
installed capacity of 360 kW; (7) a refurbished tailrace discharging
water from the powerhouse into the main channel downstream of the
primary dam; (8) a new 1.5-foot-diameter minimum flow valve in the
powerhouse discharging water into an existing 35-foot-wide, 50-foot-
long tailrace; (9) a reconstructed, breached 8-foot-high, 2-foot-wide,
45-foot-long retaining wall; and (10) a new buried 480-volt, 125-foot-
long transmission line connecting the powerhouse to the regional grid.
The project would be operated in a run-of-river mode and would have an
annual generation of 1,447.5 megawatt-hours.
    m. Due to the project works already existing and the limited scope
of proposed rehabilitation of the project site described above, the
applicant's close coordination with federal and state agencies during
the preparation of the application, and agency recommended preliminary
terms and conditions, we intend to waive scoping and expedite the
licensing process. Based on a review of the application, resource
agency consultation letters including the preliminary terms and
conditions, and comments filed to date, Commission staff intends to
prepare a single environmental assessment (EA). Commission staff
determined that the issues that need to be addressed in its EA have
been adequately identified during the pre-filing period, and no new
issues are likely to be identified through additional scoping. The EA
will consider assessing the potential effects of project construction
and operation on geology and soils, aquatic, terrestrial, threatened
and endangered species, and cultural and historic resources.
    n. A copy of the application is available for review at the
Commission in the Public Reference Room or may be viewed on the
Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary''
link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three digits in the
docket number field to access the document. For assistance, contact
FERC Online Support. A copy is also available for inspection and
reproduction at the address in item h above.

must submit to the Commission, on or before the specified intervention
deadline date, a competing development application, or a notice of
intent to file such an application. Submission of a timely notice of
intent allows an interested person to file the competing development
application no later than 120 days after the specified intervention

accordance with the requirements of Rules of Practice and Procedure, 18
CFR 385.210, .211, and .214. In determining the appropriate action to
take, the Commission will consider all protests or other comments
filed, but only those who file a motion to intervene in accordance with
the Commission's Rules may become a party to the proceeding. Any
comments, protests, or motions to intervene must be received on or
