SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. What Information is EPA Particularly Interested In?

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
    1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
    3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
    4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic
submission of responses. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from
very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of
specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork
burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.

II. What Should I Consider When I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
    1. Explain your views as clearly as possible and provide specific
examples.
    2. Describe any assumptions that you used.
    3. Provide copies of any technical information and/or data you used
that support your views.
    4. If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at the estimate that you provide.
    5. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
    6. Offer alternative ways to improve the collection activity.
    7. Make sure to submit your comments by the deadline identified
under DATES.
    8. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket
ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page
of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal
Register citation.

III. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Action Apply
To?

    Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
pesticide and other agricultural chemical manufacturers (North American
Industrial Classification System (NAICS) code 325320).
    Title: Application for Experimental Use Permit to Ship and Use a
Pesticide for Experimental Purposes Only.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0276.13, OMB Control No. 2070-0040.
    ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on May 31,
2007. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This information collection provides EPA with the data
necessary to determine whether to issue an experimental use permit
(EUP) under section 5 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. FIFRA requires that before a
pesticide product may be distributed or sold in the United States it
must be registered by EPA. However, section 5 authorizes EPA to issue
EUPs which allow pesticide companies to temporarily ship pesticide
products for experimental use for the purpose of gathering data
necessary to support the application for registration of a pesticide
product. In general, EUPs are issued either for a pesticide not
registered with the Agency or for a registered pesticide for a use not
registered with the Agency.
    Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 10.10
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is
only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 75.
    Frequency of response: As needed.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 757.50 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $48,327.45. There are no capital
expenditures or operation and maintenance costs associated with this
information collection activity.

IV. Are There Changes In the Estimates From the Last Approval?

    There is no change in the number of hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB.

V. What is the Next Step In the Process for This ICR?

    EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another
Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce
the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or
the approval process, please contact the person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
II. Analysis of State's Submittal
III. Final Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background

    On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 36852), EPA established an annual
PM2.5 NAAQS at 15.0 micrograms per cubic meter based on a 3-
year average of annual mean PM2.5 concentrations. On January
5, 2005 (70 FR 944), EPA published its air quality designations and
classifications for the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS based upon
air quality monitoring data for calendar years 2001-2003. These
designations became effective on April 5, 2005. The Macon Area (which
is comprised of Bibb County in its entirety and a portion of Monroe
County) was designated nonattainment for the 1997 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS. See title 40 CFR 81.311.
    Designation of an area as nonattainment starts the process for a
state to develop and submit to EPA a SIP under title I, part D of the
CAA. This SIP must include, among other elements, a demonstration of
how the NAAQS will be attained in the nonattainment area as
expeditiously as practicable but no later than the date required by the
CAA. Under CAA section 172(b), a state has up to three years after an
area's designation as nonattainment to submit its SIP to EPA. For the
1997 PM2.5 NAAQS, these SIPs were due April 5, 2008. See 40
CFR 51.1002(a).
    On August 17, 2009, Georgia submitted an attainment demonstration
and associated reasonably available control measures (RACM), a
reasonable further progress (RFP) plan, contingency measures, a 2002
base year emissions inventory and other planning SIP revisions related
to attainment of the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS in the Macon
Area. Subsequently, on June 2, 2011 (76 FR 13858), EPA determined that
the Macon Area attained the 1997 annual average PM2.5 NAAQS.
The determination of attainment was based upon complete, quality-
assured and certified ambient air monitoring data for the 2007-2009
period, showing that the Area had monitored attainment of the 1997
annual PM2.5 NAAQS. The requirements for the Area to submit
an attainment demonstration and associated RACM, RFP plan, contingency
measures, and other planning SIP revisions related to attainment of the
standard were suspended as a result of the determination of attainment,
so long as the Area continues to attain the 1997 annual
PM2.5 NAAQS. See 40 CFR 51.1004(c).
    On June 29, 2011, Georgia withdrew \1\ the Macon Area's attainment
demonstration (except the emissions inventory) as allowed by 40 CFR
51.1004(c); however, such withdrawal does not suspend the emissions
inventory requirement found in CAA section 172(c)(3). Section 172(c)(3)
of the CAA requires submission and approval of a comprehensive,
accurate, and current inventory of actual emissions. EPA is now
approving the emissions inventory portion of the SIP revision submitted
by the State of Georgia on August 17, 2009, as required by section
172(c)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Per phone conversation between Lynorae Benjamin (EPA Region
4) and Jimmy Johnson (Georgia Department of Natural Resources) on
October 17, 2011 the withdrawal notice did not include the emissions
inventory portion of the submittal.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Analysis of State's Submittal

    As discussed above, section 172(c)(3) of the CAA requires areas to
submit a comprehensive, accurate and current inventory of actual
emissions from all sources of the relevant pollutant or pollutants in
such area. Georgia selected 2002 as base year for the emissions
inventory per 40 CFR 51.1008(b). Emissions contained in the Macon
attainment plan cover the general source categories of point sources,
non-road mobile sources, area sources, on-road mobile sources, and
biogenic sources. A detailed discussion of the emissions inventory
development can be found in Appendix H of the Georgia submittal; a
summary is provided below.
    The table below provides a summary of the annual 2002 emissions of
nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and
PM2.5.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Emissions are for the partial county.

    The 172(c)(3) emissions inventory is developed by the incorporation
of data from multiple States were required to develop and submit to EPA
a triennial emissions inventory according to the Consolidated Emissions
Reporting Rule for all source categories (i.e., point, area, nonroad
mobile and on-road mobile). This inventory often forms the basis of
data that are updated with more recent information and data that also
is used in their attainment demonstration modeling inventory. Such was
the case

in the development of the 2002 emissions inventory that was submitted
in the state's attainment SIP for this Area. The 2002 emissions
inventory was based on data developed with the Visibility Improvement
State and Tribal Association of the Southeast (VISTAS) contractors and
submitted by the States to the 2002 National Emissions Inventory.
Several iterations of the 2002 inventories were developed for the
different emissions source categories resulting from revisions and
updates to the data. This resulted in the use of version G2 of the
updated data to represent the point sources' emissions. Data from many
databases, studies and models (e.g., Vehicle Miles Traveled, fuel
programs, the NONROAD 2002 model data for commercial marine vessels,
locomotives and Clean Air Market Division, etc.) resulted in the
inventory submitted in this SIP. The data were developed according to
current EPA emissions inventory guidance ``Emissions Inventory Guidance
for Implementation of Ozone and Particulate Matter National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze Regulations'' (August 2005)
and a quality assurance project plan that was developed through VISTAS
and approved by EPA. EPA agrees that the process used to develop this
inventory was adequate to meet the requirements of CAA section
172(c)(3) and the implementing regulations.
    EPA has reviewed Georgia's emissions inventory and finds that it is
adequate for the purposes of meeting section 172(c)(3) emissions
inventory requirement. The emissions inventory is approvable because
the emissions were developed consistent with the CAA, implementing
regulations and EPA guidance for emission inventories.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the 2002 base year emissions inventory portion of
the SIP revision submitted by the State of Georgia on August 17, 2009.
This action is being taken pursuant to section 110 of the CAA. EPA is
publishing this rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should adverse
comments be filed. This rule will be effective May 1, 2012 without
further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by April 2,
2012.
    If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a document
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Parties interested in commenting
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public
is advised that this rule will be effective on May 1, 2012 and no
further action will be taken on the proposed rule.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State,
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    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 May 1, 2012. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
