are approving a local rule that requires submission of emission
statements from stationary sources that emit volatile organic compounds
and oxides of nitrogen.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 5, 2008 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse comments by July 7, 2008. If we receive
such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register to notify the public that this direct final rule will not take
effect.

I. The State's Submittal

A. What rule did the State submit?

    SMAQMD Rule 105, Emission Statement, was adopted by the SMAQMD on
September 5, 1996, and submitted by the California Air Resources Board
(CARB) on May 18, 1998.
    On July 17, 1998, the rule submittal was found to meet the
completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51, Appendix V, which must be met
before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of this rule?

    The previous version of Rule 105 was adopted on May 20, 1993, and
CARB submitted it to us on November 18, 1993. We approved this version
of Rule 105 into the SIP on May 26, 2004 (69 FR 29880).

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rule?

    Section 110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit regulations
that control volatile organic compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen
(NOX), particulate matter, and other air pollutants which
harm human health and the environment. SMAQMD Rule 105 was developed as
part of the local agency's program to control these pollutants. It was
also developed to establish the requirement for stationary sources of
VOC and NOX to submit emission statements, as required by
the CAA. EPA's technical support document (TSD) has more information
about this rule.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating the rule?

    This rule contains administrative requirements that support
SMAQMD's program to implement the CAA and control emissions of VOC and
NOX. In combination with the other requirements, this rule
must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the Act) and must not relax
existing requirements (see sections 110(l) and 193). EPA policy that we
use to help evaluate enforceability requirements consistently includes
the Bluebook (``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints,
Deficiencies, and Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988) and the Little
Bluebook (``Guidance

Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule Deficiencies,'' EPA
Region 9, August 21, 2001).

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation criteria?

    We believe this rule is consistent with the relevant policy and
guidance regarding enforceability and SIP relaxations. The TSD has more
information on our evaluation.

C. EPA Recommendations To Further Improve the Rule

    The TSD describes additional rule revisions that do not affect
EPA's current action but are recommended for the next time the local
agency modifies the rule.

D. Public Comment and Final Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully
approving the submitted rule because we believe it fulfills all
relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in advance.
However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, we are
simultaneously proposing approval of the same submitted rule. If we
receive adverse comments by July 7, 2008, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the direct
final approval will not take effect and we will address the comments in
a subsequent final action based on the proposal. If we do not receive
timely adverse comments, the direct final approval will be effective
without further notice on August 5, 2008. This will incorporate the
rule into the federally enforceable SIP.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, 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 Clean Air Act.
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 Clean Air Act; 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 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 August 5, 2008. 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)).

Extensions:
    Form T-6; OMB Control No. 3235-0391; SEC File No. 270-344.
    Form 11-K; OMB Control No. 3235-0082; SEC File No. 270-101.
    Form 144; OMB Control No. 3235-0101; SEC File No. 270-112.

    Notice is hereby given that pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) the Securities and Exchange Commission
(``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget
these requests for extension of the previously approved collections of
information discussed below.
    Form T-6 (17 CFR 269.9) is a statement of eligibility and
qualification for a foreign corporate trustee under the Trust Indenture
Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. 77aaa et seq.). Form T-6 provides the basis for
determining if a trustee is qualified. Form T-6 is filed on occasion.
The information collected must be filed with the Commission and is
publicly available. Form T-6 takes approximately 17 burden hours per
response and is filed by 1 respondent. We estimate that 25% of the 17
total burden hours (4 hours) is prepared by the filer. The remaining
75% of burden hours is prepared by outside counsel.
    Form 11-K (17 CFR 249.311) is the annual report designed for use by
employee stock purchase, savings and similar plans. Form 11-K provides
employees with financial information so that they can assess the
performance of the investment vehicle in which their money is invested.
Form 11-K is filed on occasion. The information collected must be filed
with the Commission and is publicly available. Form 11-K takes
approximately 30 burden hours per response and is filed by 2,000
respondents for total of 60,000 burden hours.
    Form 144 (17 CFR 239.144) is used to report the sale of securities
during any three-month period that exceeds 500 shares or other units or
has an aggregate sales price in excess of $10,000. Form 144 operates in
conjunction with Rule 144. If the information collection was not
required, the objectives of the rule could not be met. The information
collected must be filed with the Commission and is publicly available.
Form 144 takes approximately 2 burden hours per response and is filed
by 60,500 respondents for a total of 121,000 total burden hours.
    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 control number.
    Written comments regarding the above information should be directed
to the following persons: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities and
Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503 or send an e-mail to

information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The authority for the emergency planning and emergency
release notification requirements is sections 302, 303, and 304 of the
Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 1986 (42
U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004). EPCRA established broad emergency
planning and facility reporting requirements. Section 302 requires
facilities to notify their state emergency response commission (SERC)
and the local emergency planning committee (LEPC) that the facility is
subject to emergency planning. This activity was completed soon after
the law was passed. Only new facilities that may become subject to
these requirements must notify the SERC and the LEPC. Currently covered
facilities are required to notify the LEPC of any changes that occur at
the facility which would be relevant to emergency planning. Section 303
requires the LEPC to prepare local emergency response plans for their
planning district using the information provided by facilities under
section 302. The LEPC may request any information from facilities
necessary to develop emergency response plans. Emergency response plans
were developed within a few months after the law was passed. LEPCs are
required to review and update the plan at least annually or more
frequently as changes occur in the community. Section 304 requires
facilities to report to SERCs and LEPCs releases exceeding the
reportable quantities listed for each extremely hazardous substance
(EHS) and for each hazardous substance defined under section 101(14) of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability
Act. This ICR also covers the notification and the written follow-up
required under section 304. The implementing regulations are codified
in 40 CFR part 355.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities that have a threshold
planning quantity of an extremely hazardous substance (EHS) listed in
40 CFR part 355, Appendix A and those that have a release of any of the
EHSs or CERCLA hazardous substances above a reportable quantity.
Entities more likely to be affected by this action may include chemical
manufacturers, retailers, petroleum refineries, utilities, etc.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory under EPCRA sections
302, 303 and 304.
    Estimated number of respondents: 108,556.
    Frequency of response: EPCRA section 302 reporting is a one-time
notification unless there are changes to the reported information;
EPCRA section 304 notification is only when a release of an EHS or
CERCLA hazardous substance occurs from a facility.
    Total estimated burden: 259,456 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $10,784,934 (per year), including $68,867
annual operations and maintenance costs. There are no capital costs
associated with this ICR.
    Changes in estimates: The number of facilities subject to section
302 is 95,000, which is the same as in the previous ICR. There is an
increase of 4,500 hours in the total estimated respondent burden
compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due
to an adjustment to the estimate, which corrected for a math error in
the previous ICR renewal.

Subject:	Additional Interagency Comment

Scott,

Please see below for one more small comment from the interagency review. Thanks.

We have one comment on page 81.  EPA’s revised language indicated that they “attempted” to partially
revoked the standard  for transportation conformity purposes.  We disagree with the word “attempted”
as it implied the partial revocation was not a final decision.  In fact, on May 21, 2012, EPA published the
final Classifications Rule for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, effective July 20, 2012, which partially revoked the
1997 ozone NAAQS for conformity purposes.  DOT has implemented the transportation conformity
requirements based on this 2012 final.

We proposed to change the following sentences (on p.81) to read:

“The D.C. Circuit ruled that the EPA violated the CAA when it attempted to partially revoked the 1997
ozone NAAQS for transportation conformity purposes only in the Classifications Rule for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. The attempted partial revocation would have become had been in effect effective on since July
20, 2013, 1 year after the effective date of designations for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. (77 FR 30160)”
