Framework for Advancing Transatlantic Economic Integration Between the
United States of America and the European Union

    HYPERLINK "http://www.whitehouse.gov/infocus/eusummit/2007/"  2007
U.S.-EU Summit

We, leaders of the United States of America and the European Union (EU):

Believing that deeper transatlantic economic integration and growth will
benefit our citizens and the competitiveness of our economies, will have
global benefits, will facilitate market access for third countries and
will encourage other countries to adopt the transatlantic economic model
of respect for property rights, openness to investment, transparency and
predictability in regulation, and the value of free markets;

Affirming our shared commitment to increase the transparency and
efficiency of our economic cooperation and to accelerate the reduction
of barriers to international trade and investment;

Desiring to improve the effectiveness of existing economic cooperation
and to elevate and accelerate existing work to achieve tangible
progress;

Recognizing that the transatlantic economy remains at the forefront of
globalization, and that the United States and the European Union are
each other's most important economic partners, reflecting historical
ties as well as a wide range of common fundamental values, such as the
importance of free enterprise, rule of law, property rights, free trade,
and competition, and the protection of health, safety and the
environment for our citizens and workers;

Reaffirming our commitment to the 2005 U.S.-EU Summit Declaration on
Enhancing Transatlantic Economic Integration and Growth, in which we
resolved to pursue a forward-looking agenda to enhance transatlantic
economic integration and growth, and our commitments from the June 2006
Summit to redouble our efforts to reduce barriers to transatlantic trade
and investment and our pledge to keep our investment regimes open and to
build on existing investment flows to boost growth and create jobs in
the transatlantic economy;

Recognizing further that we have established a wide range of joint work
in the areas of regulatory cooperation, financial markets, trade and
transport security, innovation and technological development,
intellectual property rights, energy, investment, competition, services,
and government procurement;

Welcoming the launch of a study funded by the European Commission to
identify existing barriers to trade and investment and estimate the
benefits of removing such barriers.

Have reached the following shared understandings:

Section I Purposes

We seek to strengthen transatlantic economic integration, with the goal
of improving competitiveness and the lives of our people. To that end,
this Framework reaffirms a multi-year program of cooperation that
emphasizes results and provides accountability.

Section II

Fostering Cooperation and Reducing Regulatory Burdens

In light of our shared commitment to removing barriers to transatlantic
commerce; to rationalizing, reforming, and, where appropriate, reducing
regulations to empower the private sector; to achieving more effective,
systematic and transparent regulatory cooperation to reduce costs
associated with regulation to consumers and producers; to removing
unnecessary differences between our regulations to foster economic
integration; to reinforce the existing transatlantic dialogue structures
in regulatory cooperation both by intensifying our sector-by-sector
EU-U.S. regulatory cooperation and our dialogue between the U.S. Office
of Management and Budget and European Commission services on
methodological issues: we resolve to achieve the goals set out in Annex
1 in a timely manner.

Section III

Lighthouse Priority Projects

We have identified in Annex 2 priority growth projects, selected from
the existing work program and other programs within the existing
transatlantic dialogue, that will significantly enhance transatlantic
economic integration, and we resolve to achieve progress on these
projects within six to eight months of the effective date of this
Framework, and at latest by the time of the 2008 EU-U.S. Summit. We
resolve that future priorities are to be reflected by updating the
Lighthouse Priority Projects identified in Annex 2.

Section IV

Transatlantic Economic Council

The Transatlantic Economic Council is hereby established, to be
co-chaired, on the U.S. side, by a U.S. Cabinet-level official in the
Executive Office of the President (currently Allan Hubbard) and on the
EU side by a Member of the European Commission (currently Vice President
Guenter Verheugen), collaborating closely with the EU Presidency. The
Council is to:

Oversee the efforts outlined in this Framework, with the goal of
accelerating progress;

Guide work between U.S.-EU Summits with a focus on achieving results,
including setting goals for achieving the purposes of this Framework,
developing metrics, setting deadlines and targets, and monitoring
progress;

Adopt a work program, drawn initially from the existing work program
under the 2005 U.S.-EC Economic Initiative, with the goal of achieving
the objectives of this Framework, and shall adapt this work program and
otherwise organize its activities in the manner best suited to achieving
those objectives;

Review at least semi-annually its progress in achieving the objectives
of this Framework;

Facilitate joint action under this Framework to advance its purposes;

Review ongoing U.S.-EU economic engagement in order to maximize progress
in existing transatlantic dialogues with a view to consider phasing out
technical dialogues that have completed their work or are otherwise no
longer necessary;

Meet at least once a year at such time as the co-chairs decide;

Oversee preparation of annual reports to the U.S.-EU Summit leaders on
goals, metrics for meeting those goals, deadlines, achievements, and
areas where more progress is needed;

Facilitate closer cooperation between the United States and European
Union and our legislators and stakeholders;

Convene a group comprised of individuals experienced in transatlantic
issues drawing in particular from the heads of existing transatlantic
dialogues to provide input and guidance to the U.S.-EU Summit on
priorities for pursuing transatlantic economic integration; and

11. Include representatives of other governmental entities as the
Council determines to be appropriate.

Section V

Work Program of Cooperation

We resolve to work to promote transatlantic economic integration in the
following areas: intellectual property rights, investment, secure trade,
financial markets, and innovation as set forth in the attached Annexes
2-7.

Signed at Washington, D.C., on this thirtieth day of April, 2007, in
three originals.

FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

George W. Bush

President

FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION:

Angela Merkel

President of the European Council

José Manuel Barroso

President of the European Commission

Annex 1

Fostering Cooperation and Reducing Regulatory Burdens

Take the following steps to reduce barriers to transatlantic economic
integration posed by new regulations by reinforcing the existing
transatlantic dialogue structures:

Pursue development of a methodological framework to help ensure the
comparability of impact assessments, particularly risk assessment and
cost-benefit analysis;

Appoint heads of regulatory authorities as permanent members of the U.S.
- EU High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum to report on any risks or
benefits from significant differences in regulatory approaches
identified in the sectoral dialogues or the European Commission
Secretariat General (EC)-U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
dialogue called for under the 2005 U.S.-EU Economic Initiative,
recognizing that the Financial Markets Regulatory Dialogue will continue
its own, separate, work program described in Annex 6, and updating the
Council on its progress as appropriate.

Reinforce the existing transatlantic dialogue on regulatory cooperation
by cooperating to improve regulation, specifically through cooperation
between OMB and the EC to:

Taking into account, among other things, the impact assessment
considerations in place, evaluate progress regarding this cooperation,
and consider a more formal basis to enhance this cooperation;

Intensify their dialogue focusing on issues of methodology;

Hold regular and active exchanges on the overall framework of our
regulatory co-operation and on methodological issues which may arise in
individual cases;

Review the application of their respective regulatory impact analysis
guidelines so that the regulatory impacts on trade and investment are
considered, as appropriate; and

Share forward planning schedules.

Take the following steps to reduce barriers to transatlantic economic
integration posed by regulations in specific sectors by intensifying
sector-by-sector regulatory cooperation, including through enhanced
EC-OMB cooperation, including the following:

Encourage further cooperation in the areas of agriculture, sanitary and
phyto-sanitary measures, and food safety;

Promote the application of the 2002 U.S.-EU Guidelines for Regulatory
Cooperation and Transparency for specific sectoral pilot projects to be
determined in consultation with stakeholders. We agree to discuss
additional pilot projects on a case-by-case basis for exploring improved
US-EU regulatory cooperation.

Pursue implementation of the Roadmap for Regulatory Cooperation,
including the following priority projects to be pursued in 2007 and
2008:

Collaborating on cosmetics regulations, in particular with a view to
reducing the need for animal tests by cooperating on alternative testing
methods;

Seeking final agreement between U.S. and EU regulators on shifting
resources away from implementation of the Medical Device Annex of the
Mutual Recognition Agreement between the United States and the European
Community to a more productive bilateral collaboration on medical
devices;

Promoting administrative simplification in the application of regulation
of medicinal products;

Addressing common concerns in the automotive sector in the area of road
safety and fuel economy in order to avoid or reduce barriers to
transatlantic trade;

Expanding cooperation on OECD activities relating to risk assessment,
Good Laboratory Practices and the Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, study templates, information
technology for data submissions, as well as on alternative test methods
(QSAR), test methods and risks of manufactured nanomaterials; and

Initiating an exchange on conformity assessment procedures for the
safety of electrical equipment.

Annex 2 Lighthouse Priority Projects

Intellectual Property Rights. Develop procedures for the exchange of
information relating to goods suspected of infringing intellectual
property rights, the exchange of customs officials, and the organisation
of joint technical assistance and/or enforcement missions and seek
progress in the harmonisation of the different patent regimes.

Secure trade. Develop common and accepted standards to maximize
security, safety and facilitation of international trade supply chain
that could lead to mutual recognition of programs for economic
operators. Begin to exchange information on validation results
associated with the Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism and
Authorized Economic Operator programs in order to avoid the duplication
of controls and to reduce business costs by avoiding divergent control
requirements, as appropriate.

Financial Markets. Promote and seek to ensure conditions for the U.S.
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial
Reporting Standards to be recognized in both jurisdictions without the
need for reconciliation by 2009 or possibly sooner.

Innovation and Technology.

Conduct a high-level conference on innovation in health-related
industries and a workshop on best practices in innovation policies;

Develop a joint framework for cooperation on identification and
development of best practices for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
technologies and develop a work plan to promote the interoperability of
electronic health record systems;

Develop a science-based work plan for EU-U.S. collaboration on
innovative and eco-efficient biobased products;

Establish a joint research infrastructure for mouse functional genomics
(following a joint meeting in 2007 in Belgium);

Sponsor joint workshops or conferences to foster the exchange of
information on nanotechnology in areas of mutual interest.

Investment. Establish a regular dialogue to address obstacles to
investment

Annex 3

Intellectual Property Rights

In order to enhance recognition and enforcement of intellectual property
rights, we resolve to:

Cooperate on improving the efficiency and the effectiveness of the
patent system at the global level to promote innovation, employment, and
competitiveness, and seek progress in the harmonisation of the different
patent regimes;

Implement the EU-U.S. Action Strategy on Intellectual Property Rights
Enforcement, including stepping up joint efforts in all areas, in
particular:

Continue to advance a constructive discussion of enforcement at the WTO
TRIPS Council and to explore other possible vehicles for advancing
international cooperation on IPR enforcement among countries sharing
common interests in this area;

Strengthen customs cooperation, including exchange of information
relating to goods suspected of infringing intellectual property rights
and statistics on the seizures of such goods, as well as programs to
exchange officials and best practices;

Work jointly to improve the IPR protection and enforcement in China and
Russia, increase cooperation in Asia, Latin America and the Middle East,
including the extension of the IPR networks to these regions;

Expand joint technical assistance initiatives in Asia and Latin America,
including the organization of work shops, seminars and on-site training;
and

Improve public-private coordination and cooperation on
anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy education, public awareness and
business practices.

Annex 4

Investment

In order to reduce barriers to transatlantic trade and investment, keep
investment regimes open, and build on existing investment flows to boost
growth and create jobs, we resolve to:

Continue close co-operation in the OECD with regard to studying and
fostering policy reforms that are conducive to attracting investment;

Engage in regular discussions of laws, policies and practices that could
impact investments in the EU and the United States;

Develop work to prevent, eliminate or reduce the impact from investment
barriers, with special attention being given to small and medium-sized
enterprises.

Annex 5

Secure Trade

As common standards and mutual recognition of standards where possible
in trade partnership programs can strengthen security of the supply
chain against terrorist exploitation or commercial fraud, such as
counterfeiting while improving efficiency by eliminating redundant
reviews, we resolve to:

Work together to improve international enforcement in the fight against
fraud and illegal spam and spyware in view of the enactment of the
Undertaking Spam, Spyware and Fraud Enforcement With Enforcers Beyond
Borders Act of 2006 (US SAFE WEB Act) in the United States and adoption
of the EU Consumer Protection Regulation.

Establish a pilot project to study the similarities and differences in
requirements for the U.S. and EU's respective trade partnership programs
with the goal of developing a roadmap to facilitate mutual recognition
of those operators that are authorized as secure on the basis of
mutually acceptable security standards and requirements; and

Strive to ensure that any mutually recognized trade partnership programs
provide comparable benefits to the other Party's recognized operators.

Annex 6

Financial Markets

In light of the considerable differences that exist between financial
market structure and regulation on both sides of the Atlantic, and given
the consolidation underway globally and transatlantically in this
sector, we resolve to take steps, towards the convergence, equivalence
or mutual recognition, where appropriate, of regulatory standards based
on high quality principles. In particular, we resolve to maintain the
existing informal Financial Markets Regulatory Dialogue and focus on the
following areas:

Strengthen cooperation to promote smooth implementation of the Basel II
framework for banks, notably to address transitional issues and minimize
differences of implementation between the EU and United States;

Promote conditions for the U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
and International Financial Reporting Standards to be recognized in both
jurisdictions without the need for reconciliation by 2009 or possibly
sooner;

Fully support roadmap discussions between the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board and the European Commission in the area of auditor
oversight;

Advance convergence in the area of reinsurance regulation;

Work on greater regulatory convergence towards highest quality and most
effective regulation and, where appropriate, mutual recognition in the
fields of securities regulation; and

Increase cooperation between EU and U.S. financial regulators.

Annex 7

Innovation and Technology

Acknowledging the importance of research and innovation to promoting
competitiveness and improving qualify of life, we resolve to:

Conduct an exchange of innovation experts to discuss best practices;

B. Exchange views on policy options for emerging technologies, or new
technological applications, in particular in the field of
nanotechnology, cloning or biotechnologies;

Explore possibility to launch common research actions paving the way to
a level playing field for nanotechnology-based products in the
globalised market, namely co- and pre-normative research;

Reinforce cooperation on eAccessibility, including continued EC
participation in the U.S. Access Board process of standards revision,
ensuring U.S. participation in the European standards-making process on
public procurements on eAccessibility, and considering wider cooperation
to improve the accessibility and mobility in the built environment;

Work together on interoperability of electronic health record systems;

Exchange best practices on all dimensions related to RFID;

What is the Agency's Authority for Taking this Action?

Section 6( f)( 1) of FIFRA provides that a registrant of a pesticide product may at any time request that any of its pesticide registrations be canceled. FIFRA further provides that, before acting on the request, EPA must publish a notice of receipt of any such request in the Federal Register. Thereafter, the Administrator may approve such a request.

IV. Procedures for Withdrawal of Request Registrants who choose to withdraw a request for cancellation must submit such withdrawal in writing to the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT, postmarked before August 4, 2003, or March 7, 2003 for EPA Registration Numbers: 001812   00420; 001812   00424; 006218   00069. This written withdrawal of the request for cancellation will apply only to the applicable FIFRA section 6( f)( 1) request listed in this notice. If the product( s) have been subject of a previous cancellation action, the effective date of cancellation and all other provisions of any earlier cancellation action are controlling. The withdrawal request must also include a commitment to pay any reregistration fees due, and to fulfill any applicable unsatisfied data requirements.

V. Provisions for Disposition of Existing Stocks The effective date of cancellation will be the date of the cancellation order. The orders effecting these requested cancellations will generally permit a registrant to sell or distribute existing stocks for 1   year after the date the cancellation request was received. This policy is in accordance with the Agency's statement of policy as prescribed in the Federal Register of June 26, 1991 ( 56 FR 29362) ( FRL   3846   4). Exceptions to this general rule will be made if a product poses a risk concern, or is in noncompliance with reregistration requirements, or is subject to a data call in. In all cases, productspecific disposition dates will be given in the cancellation orders. Existing stocks are those stocks of registered pesticide products which are currently in the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of the cancellation action. Unless the provisions of an earlier order apply, existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users can be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted, provided that such further sale and use comply with the EPA approved label and labeling of the affected product. Exception to these general rules will be made in specific cases when more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products or their ingredients have already been imposed, as in a Special Review action, or where the Agency has identified significant potential risk concerns associated with a particular chemical.

Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Infrastructure SIP Requirements for the
2012 PM2.5 NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
elements of the state implementation plan (SIP) submission from Ohio
regarding the infrastructure requirements of section 110 of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) for the 2012 fine particulate matter (PM2.5)
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The infrastructure
requirements are designed to ensure that the structural components of
each state's air quality management program are adequate to meet the
state's responsibilities under the CAA. The proposed rule associated
with this final action was published on June 23, 2016, and we received
no comments.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 19, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0824. All documents in the docket are listed on
the www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the index, some
information is not publicly available, i.e., Confidential Business
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:

I. What did Ohio submit, and what is the scope of EPA's action?
II. What action is EPA taking?
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What did Ohio submit, and what is the scope of EPA's action?

A. What state SIP submission does this rulemaking address?

    This rulemaking addresses a submission from the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency (OEPA), describing its infrastructure SIP for the
2012 PM2.5 NAAQS, dated December 4, 2015.

B. Why did the state make this SIP submission?

    Under sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of the CAA, states are required to
submit infrastructure SIPs to ensure that their SIPs provide for
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS, including
the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. These submissions must contain any
revisions needed for meeting the applicable SIP requirements of section
110(a)(2), or certifications that their existing SIPs for the NAAQS
already meet those requirements.
    EPA highlighted this statutory requirement in an October 2, 2007,
guidance document entitled ``Guidance on SIP Elements Required Under
Sections 110(a)(1) and (2) for the 1997 8-hour Ozone and
PM2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards'' (2007 Memo)
and has issued additional guidance documents, the most recent on
September 13, 2013, ``Guidance on Infrastructure State Implementation
Plan (SIP) Elements under CAA Sections 110(a)(1) and (2)'' (2013 Memo).
The SIP submission referenced in this rulemaking pertains to the
applicable requirements of section 110(a)(1) and (2), and addresses the
2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. To the extent that the prevention of
significant deterioration (PSD) program is non-NAAQS specific, a narrow
evaluation of other aspects of Ohio's submittal pertinent to the NAAQS
will be included in the appropriate sections.

C. What is the scope of this rulemaking?

    EPA is acting upon the SIP submission from OEPA that addresses the
infrastructure requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) for
the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. The requirement for states to make a
SIP submission of this type is in CAA section 110(a)(1). Pursuant to
section 110(a)(1), states must make SIP submissions ``within 3 years
(or such shorter period as the Administrator may prescribe) after the
promulgation of a national primary ambient air quality standard (or any
revision thereof),'' and these SIP submissions are to provide for the
``implementation, maintenance, and enforcement'' of such NAAQS. The
statute directly imposes on states the duty to make these SIP
submissions, and the requirement to make the submissions is not
conditioned upon EPA's taking any action other than promulgating a new
or revised NAAQS. Section 110(a)(2) includes a list of specific
elements that ``[e]ach such plan'' submission must address.
    EPA has historically referred to these SIP submissions made for the
purpose of satisfying the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and
110(a)(2) as ``infrastructure SIP'' submissions. Although the term
``infrastructure SIP'' does not appear in the CAA, EPA uses the term to
distinguish this particular type of SIP submission from submissions
that are intended to satisfy other SIP requirements under the CAA, such
as ``nonattainment SIP'' or ``attainment plan SIP'' submissions to
address the nonattainment planning requirements of part D of title I of
the CAA, ``regional haze SIP'' submissions required by EPA rule to
address the visibility protection requirements of CAA section 169A, and
nonattainment new source review (NNSR) permit program submissions to
address the permit requirements of CAA, title I, part D.
    This rulemaking will not cover four substantive areas that are not
integral to acting on a state's infrastructure SIP submission: (i)
Existing provisions related to excess emissions during periods of
start-up, shutdown, or malfunction at sources, that may be contrary to
the CAA and EPA's policies addressing such excess emissions (``SSM'');
(ii) existing provisions related to ``director's variance'' or
``director's discretion'' that purport to permit revisions to SIP-
approved emissions limits with limited public process or without
requiring further approval by EPA, that may be contrary to the CAA
(``director's discretion''); (iii) existing provisions for PSD programs
that may be inconsistent with current requirements of EPA's ``Final New
Source Review (NSR) Improvement Rule,'' 67 FR 80186 (December 31,
2002), as amended by 72 FR 32526 (June 13, 2007) (``NSR Reform''); and
(iv) transport provisions under section 110(a)(2)(D). Instead, EPA has
the authority to, and plans to, address each one of these substantive
areas in separate rulemakings. A detailed history and interpretation of
infrastructure SIP requirements can be found in EPA's May 13, 2014,
proposed rule entitled, ``Infrastructure SIP Requirements for the 2008
Lead NAAQS'' in the section, ``What is the scope of this rulemaking?''
(see 79 FR 27241 at 27242--27245).

II. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving most elements of the submission from OEPA
certifying that its current SIP is sufficient to meet the required
infrastructure elements under sections 110(a)(1) and (2) for the 2012
PM2.5 NAAQS. The proposed rulemaking associated with this
final action was published on June 23, 2016 (81 FR 40827), and EPA
received no comments during the comment period, which ended on July 25,
2016. For the reasons discussed in the proposed rulemaking, EPA is
therefore taking final action to approve most elements, as proposed, of
Ohio's submissions. EPA's final actions for the state's satisfaction of
infrastructure SIP requirements, by element of section 110(a)(2) are
contained in the table below.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the 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, 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 application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 18, 2016. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
