Public Hearing for Revised 2023 and Later Model Year Light-Duty
Vehicle Greenhouse Gas Emissions Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notification of public hearing.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing a
virtual public hearing to be held August 25, 2021, on its proposal for
the ``Revised 2023 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Standards,'' which was signed on July 29, 2021. An
additional session will be held on August 26th if necessary, to
accommodate the number of testifiers that sign-up to testify. EPA is
proposing to revise the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for
light-duty vehicles for 2023 and later model years to make the
standards more stringent.

DATES: EPA will hold a virtual public hearing on August 25, 2021. An
additional session will be held on August 26th if necessary to
accommodate the number of testifiers that sign-up to testify. Please
refer to the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for additional
information on the public hearing.

ADDRESSES: The virtual public hearing will be held on August 25, 2021.
An additional session will be held on August 26th if necessary to
accommodate the number of testifiers that sign-up to testify. The
hearing will convene at 9:30 a.m. Eastern and will conclude when the
last pre-registered speaker has testified but no later than 8:00 p.m.
Eastern. All hearing attendees (including those who do not intend to
provide testimony) should notify the contact person listed under FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by August 18, 2021, preferably by email to
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>Additional information regarding the hearing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
proposing to revise the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions standards for
light-duty vehicles for 2023 and later model years to make the
standards more stringent. On January 20, 2021, President Biden issued
Executive Order 13990 ``Protecting Public Health and the Environment
and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis'' directing EPA to
consider whether to propose suspending, revising, or rescinding the
standards previously revised under the ``The Safer Affordable Fuel-
Efficient (SAFE) Vehicles Rule for Model Years 2021-2026 Passenger Cars
and Light Trucks,'' promulgated in April 2020. The SAFE rule
significantly weakened the standards established in 2012 for this time
period. Based on our updated assessment, EPA is proposing under the
Clean Air Act to revise the GHG standards to be more stringent than the
SAFE rule standards in each model year from 2023 through 2026. EPA is
also proposing to include several flexibilities to ease the auto
manufacturers' transition to the more stringent standards, including
incentives for the production of vehicles with zero or near-zero
emissions technology. In addition, EPA is proposing some technical
amendments to clarify and streamline our regulations. The proposed
revised standards would result in significant net benefits. The
``Revised 2023 and Later Model Year Light-Duty Vehicle Greenhouse Gas
Emissions Standards'' proposal was signed on July 29th and will be
published separately in the Federal Register. The pre-publication
version is available at https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engines/proposed-rule-revise-existing-national-ghg-emissions.

Participation in Virtual Public Hearing

    Please note that EPA is deviating from its typical approach for
public hearings. Because of current CDC recommendations, as well as
state and local orders for social distancing to limit the spread of
COVID-19, EPA is not holding in-person public meetings at this time.
    EPA will begin pre-registering speakers for the hearing upon
publication of this document in the Federal Register. To register to
speak at the virtual hearing, please contact the person listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section, preferably by email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>The last day to pre-register to speak at the
hearing will be August 18, 2021.
    Each commenter will have 3 minutes to provide oral testimony. EPA
may ask clarifying questions during the oral presentations but will not
respond to the presentations at that time. EPA recommends submitting
the text of your oral comments as written comments to the rulemaking
docket. Written statements and supporting information submitted during
the comment period will be considered with the same weight as oral
comments and supporting information presented at the public hearing.
    Please note that any updates made to any aspect of the hearing
logistics, including any change to the date of the hearing or a
potential additional session on August 26, 2021, will be posted online
at the light-duty vehicle GHG rule website https://www.epa.gov/regulations-emissions-vehicles-and-engines/proposed-rule-revise-existing-national-ghg-emissions. While EPA expects the hearing to go

Airworthiness Directives; Bombardier, Inc., Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Department of
Transportation (DOT).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are superseding Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2012-22-10,
which applied to certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional
Jet Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet
Series 705) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900)
airplanes, and Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes.
AD 2012-22-10 required repetitive inspections to determine that cotter
pins are installed at affected wing-to-fuselage attachment joints and
replacement if necessary. This AD retains the initial inspection of the
wing-to-fuselage attachment joints, and removes the repetitive
inspections of all but the forward keel beam attachment joint. This AD
also changes the repetitive inspection interval for the forward keel
beam attachment joint. This AD was prompted by a determination that
additional nuts of the forward keel beam attachment joint should be
inspected, and that repetitive inspections of certain wing-to-fuselage
attachment joints are not necessary. We are issuing this AD to address
the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: This AD is effective November 20, 2018.
    The Director of the Federal Register approved the incorporation by
reference of a certain publication listed in this AD as of November 20,
2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Discussion

    We issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend 14 CFR
part 39 to supersede AD 2012-22-10, Amendment 39-17246 (77 FR 67267,
November 9, 2012) (``AD 2012-22-10''). AD 2012-22-10 applied to certain
Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet Series 700, 701, &
702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet Series 705) airplanes,
Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900) airplanes, and Model CL-
600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes. The NPRM published in
the Federal Register on July 9, 2018 (83 FR 31705). The NPRM was
prompted by a determination that additional nuts of the forward keel
beam attachment joint should be inspected, and that repetitive
inspections of certain wing-to-fuselage attachment joints are not
necessary. The NPRM proposed to retain the initial inspection of the
wing-to-fuselage attachment joints, and remove the repetitive
inspections of all but the forward keel beam attachment joint. The NPRM
also proposed to change the repetitive inspection interval for the
forward keel beam attachment joint. We are issuing this AD to address
loss of the wing-to-fuselage attachment joints, which could result in
loss of the wing, and consequent reduced, or complete loss of,
controllability of the airplane.
    Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), which is the aviation
authority for Canada, has issued Canadian AD CF-2012-10R1, dated
January 22, 2018 (referred to after this as the Mandatory Continuing
Airworthiness Information, or ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe
condition for certain Bombardier, Inc., Model CL-600-2C10 (Regional Jet
Series 700, 701, & 702) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D15 (Regional Jet
Series 705) airplanes, Model CL-600-2D24 (Regional Jet Series 900)
airplanes, and Model CL-600-2E25 (Regional Jet Series 1000) airplanes.
The MCAI states:

    The manufacturer has determined that wing-to-fuselage attachment
nuts, part number (P/N) SH670-35635-1, SH670-35440-951, SH670-35440-
3, SH670-35635-1, and 95136D-2412, installed at six attachment joint
locations, do not conform to the certification design requirements
for dual locking features. The nuts are not of the self-locking type
as required and do not provide the frictional thread interference
required to prevent the nut from backing off the bolt. As a result,
only a single locking device, the cotter pin, is provided at these
critical joints. In the case where a nut becomes loose, in
combination with a missing or broken cotter pin, the attachment bolt
at the wing-to-fuselage joint could migrate and fall out. Loss of
two attachment joints could potentially result in the loss of the
wing.
    The original version of this [Canadian] AD [which corresponds to
FAA AD 2012-22-10] mandated initial and repeat detailed visual
inspections (DVIs) of each affected wing-to-fuselage attachment
joint to ensure that a cotter pin was installed.
    Design review and analysis of the inspection findings since the
original issue of this [Canadian] AD have led us to determine that
additional nuts at the forward keel beam joint should also be
included in the inspection and that the repetitive inspection of
some wing-to-fuselage attachment joints is not required. This
[Canadian] AD maintains the initial inspection requirements [for
missing or failed (. . .) cotter pins] for six attachment joint
locations, and removes the repetitive inspection requirements for
all but the forward keel beam attachment joint. This [Canadian] AD
also requires a different repetitive inspection interval, and the
[Canadian] AD applicability has been changed for the initial
inspection to account for changes made in production.

    You may examine the MCAI in the AD docket on the internet at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and locating Docket No. FAA-2018-
0587.

Comments

    We gave the public the opportunity to participate in developing
this final rule. We have considered the comment received. The Air Line
Pilots Association, International (ALPA) reviewed and expressed support
for the NPRM.

Clarification of Credit Paragraph

    We have removed paragraph (j)(2) of the proposed AD and
redesignated paragraph (j)(1) of the proposed AD as paragraph (j) of
this AD because the airplanes identified in paragraph (j)(2) of the
proposed AD are included in paragraph (j)(1) of the proposed AD. We
have also clarified in paragraph (j) of this AD that any previous
inspection done using earlier revisions of the service information is
acceptable.

Conclusion

    We reviewed the relevant data, considered the comment received, and
determined that air safety and the public interest require adopting
this final rule with the changes described previously and minor
editorial changes. We have determined that these minor changes:
     Are consistent with the intent that was proposed in the
NPRM for addressing the unsafe condition; and
     Do not add any additional burden upon the public than was
already proposed in the NPRM.
    We also determined that these changes will not increase the
economic burden on any operator or increase the scope of this final
rule.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    Bombardier, Inc. has issued Service Bulletin 670BA-53-042, Revision
B, dated October 20, 2017. This service information describes
procedures for detailed inspections of the wing-to-fuselage attachment
joints, and of the attachment nuts at the forward keel beam attachment
joint for missing or failed cotter pins. This service information is
reasonably available because the interested parties have access to it
through their normal course of business or by the means identified in
the ADDRESSES section.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD affects 274 airplanes of U.S. registry. We
estimate the following costs to comply with this AD:

                                      Estimated Costs for Required Actions
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per       Cost on U.S.
                          Labor cost                              Parts cost        product         operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11 work-hours x $85 per hour = $935..........................            $100           $1,035         $283,590
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We have received no definitive data that would enable us to provide
cost estimates for the on-condition actions specified in this AD. We
have no way of determining the number of aircraft that may need these
actions.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII: Aviation Programs,
describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: ``General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.
    This AD is issued in accordance with authority delegated by the
Executive Director, Aircraft Certification Service, as authorized by
FAA Order 8000.51C. In accordance with that order, issuance of ADs is
normally a function of the Compliance and Airworthiness Division, but
during this transition period, the Executive Director has delegated the
authority to issue ADs applicable to transport category airplanes and
associated appliances to the Director of the System Oversight Division.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.
    For the reasons discussed above, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under the DOT Regulatory Policies
and Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Summary of the Planned Project

    SPLNG plans to construct and operate an expansion of the existing
Sabine Pass LNG facility (SPLNG Terminal), located in Cameron Parish,
Louisiana on the Sabine Pass Channel. The planned expansion of the
SPLNG Terminal consists of the addition of a third marine berth and
supporting facilities. The third marine berth would be used to load LNG
vessels for export and would be sized to accommodate vessels with
capacities up to 180,000 cubic meters. The supporting facilities would
include tie-ins to the existing SPLNG Terminal loading lines and boil
off gas lines associated with the five existing LNG storage tanks. The
project would also include the addition of the following facilities:

 LNG loading system;
 marine facilities;
 sewage collection and treatment system;
 LNG spill control system;
 utilities system;
 fire protection and fire and gas detection systems; and
 stormwater drainage system.

    The general location of the planned project is shown in appendix 1.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned facilities would disturb about 381
acres of land. About 45.8 acres in water would be affected by dredging
within the Sabine Pass Channel for the creation of the third marine
berth. Following construction, SPLNG would maintain about 100.1 acres
for permanent operation of the third marine berth and associated
facilities. Temporary construction areas would be restored and revert
to former uses.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the authorization of LNG
facilities under section 3 of the Natural Gas Act. NEPA also requires
us \1\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We, us, and our refer to the environmental staff of the
Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:

 Geology and soils;
 land use;
 water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
 cultural resources;
 vegetation and wildlife;
 air quality and noise;
 endangered and threatened species;
 public safety; and
 cumulative impacts.

    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EA.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. We will
publish and distribute the EA for public comment. We will consider all
comments on the EA before we make our recommendations to the
Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to consider and address
your comments, please carefully follow the instructions in the Public
Participation section, beginning on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to this project to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EA.\2\ Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice. Currently, the U.S. Department of Transportation has expressed
its intention to participate as a cooperating agency in the preparation
of the EA to satisfy its NEPA responsibilities related to this project.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\3\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO(s) as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance. Our EA for this
project will document our findings on the impacts on historic
properties and summarize the status of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Currently Identified Environmental Issues

    We have already identified several issues that we think deserve
attention based on a preliminary review of the planned facilities and
the environmental information provided by SPLNG. This preliminary list
of issues may change based on your comments and our analysis.
     Evaluation of temporary and permanent impacts on wetlands
and the development of appropriate mitigation;
     potential impacts on essential fish habitat;
     evaluation of the environmental impacts from increased LNG
vessel traffic;
     potential impacts of the construction workforce on local
housing, infrastructure, public services, transportation, and economy;
and
     public safety and hazards associated with LNG facilities.

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of project facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned project.
    Copies of the completed EA will be sent to the environmental
mailing list for public review and comment. If you would prefer to
receive a paper copy of the document instead of the CD version or would
like to remove your name from the mailing list, please return the
attached Information Request (appendix 2).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once SPLNG files its application with the Commission, you may want
to become an intervenor which is an official party to the Commission's
proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are
able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Motions to intervene are more fully described at http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. Instructions for
becoming an intervenor are in the ``Document-less Intervention Guide''
under the e-filing link on the Commission's website. Please note that
the Commission will not accept requests for intervenor status at this
time. You must wait until the Commission receives a formal application
for the project.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    Section 172(c)(1) of the CAA provides that SIPs for nonattainment
areas must include reasonably available control measures (RACM),
including RACT, for sources of emissions. Section 182(b)(2)(A) provides
that for certain nonattainment areas, states must revise their SIP to
include RACT for sources of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
covered by a CTG document issued after November 15, 1990 and prior to
the area's date of attainment. EPA defines RACT as ``the lowest
emission limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting by
the application of control technology that is reasonably available
considering technological and economic feasibility.'' 44 FR 53761
(September 17, 1979).
    CTGs are documents issued by EPA intended to provide state and
local air pollution control authorities information that should assist
them in determining RACT for VOC emissions from various sources.
Section 183(e)(3)(c) provides that EPA may issue a CTG in lieu of a
national regulation as RACT for a product category where EPA determines
that the CTG will be substantially as effective as regulations in
reducing emissions of VOC in ozone nonattainment areas. The
recommendations in the CTG are based upon available data and
information and may not apply to a particular situation based upon the
circumstances. States can follow the CTG and adopt state regulations to
implement the recommendations contained therein, or they can adopt
alternative approaches. In either case, states must submit their RACT
rules to EPA for review and approval as part of the SIP process.
    In 1993, EPA published a draft CTG for offset lithographic
printing. 58 FR 59261 (November 8, 1993). After reviewing comments on
the draft CTG and soliciting additional information to help clarify
those comments, EPA published an alternative control techniques (ACT)
document in June 1994 that provided supplemental information for states
to use in developing rules based on RACT for offset lithographic
printing. In December 1978, EPA published a CTG for graphic arts
(rotogravure printing and flexographic printing) that included flexible
package printing (Publication No. EPA-450/2-78-033; December 1978). In
1994, EPA developed an ACT document for industrial cleaning solvents
(Publication No. EPA-453/R-94-015; February 1994). After reviewing the
1978/1993/1994 CTGs and ACTs for these industries, conducting a review
of currently existing state and local VOC emission reduction approaches
for these industries, and taking into account any information that has
become available since then, EPA developed new CTGs entitled Control
Techniques Guidelines for Offset Lithographic and Letterpress Printing
(Publication No. EPA 453/R-06-002; September 2006); Control Techniques
Guidelines for Flexible Package Printing (Publication No. EPA 453/R-06-
003; September 2006); Control Techniques Guidelines for Industrial
Cleaning Solvents (Publication No. EPA 453/R-06-001; September 2006).
The CTG recommendations may not apply to a particular situation based
upon the circumstances of a specific source. Regardless of whether a
state chooses to implement the recommendations contained within the
CTGs through state rules, or to issue state rules that adopt different
approaches for RACT for VOCs, states must submit their RACT rules to
EPA for review and approval as part of the SIP process.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    On August 27, 2014, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) submitted a
SIP revision to EPA in order to add regulations to the Pennsylvania SIP
which essentially adopt EPA CTGs for offset lithographic and
letterpress printing, flexible package printing, and adhesives,
sealants, primers, and solvents. These regulations are contained in
Title 25 of the Pennsylvania Code (Pa Code) Chapters 129 and 130. The
pertinent regulations

establish: (1) The applicability of the regulations to facilities for
offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing, flexible package
printing, and adhesives, sealants, primers, and solvents; (2) certain
exemptions; (3) recordkeeping and work practice requirements; and (4)
emission limitations.
    EPA's review of the new and revised regulations submitted by PADEP
indicates that the submitted revisions of 25 Pa Code 121.1, 129.51,
129.67, 129.67a, and 129.67b meet the requirements to adopt RACT for
sources located in Pennsylvania covered by EPA's CTG recommendations
for control of VOC emissions for the following categories: Offset
lithographic printing, letterpress printing, and flexible package
printing. In addition, the submitted revisions to 25 Pa Code 129.77 and
130.703 continue to meet the requirements to adopt RACT for adhesives
and solvents as approved on September 26, 2012. See 77 FR 59090. EPA
finds the Pennsylvania regulations which adopt the equivalent of the
specific EPA CTG recommendations meet CAA requirements for RACT in
sections 172 and 182 of the CAA. More detailed information on these
provisions as well as a detailed summary of EPA's review and rationale
for proposing to approve this SIP revision can be found in the
Technical Support Document (TSD) for this action which is available on
line at www.regulations.gov, Docket number EPA-R03-OAR-2015-0166. EPA
is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document.
These comments will be considered before taking final action.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the August 27, 2014 Pennsylvania SIP
revision adding new regulations 25 Pa Code 129.67a and 129.67b and
revising regulations 25 Pa Code 121.1, 129.51, 129.67, 129.77, and
130.703 as the SIP revision meets CAA requirements for SIPs in sections
110, 172 and 182.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule the EPA is proposing to include, in a final EPA rule,
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the PADEP rules regarding control of VOC emissions from
offset lithographic printing, letterpress printing, flexible package
printing, and adhesives, sealants, primers, and solvents as described
in section II of this proposed action. 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).

V. 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 proposed 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 proposed rule pertaining to Pennsylvania's
adoption of CTG recommendations for offset lithographic printing and
letterpress printing, flexible package printing, and adhesives,
sealants, primers, and solvents, 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.
