II. Background

    Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed interim decisions for all pesticides listed in
the Table in Unit IV. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each
pesticide's registration is based on current scientific and other
knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment.

III. Authority

    EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

IV. What action is the Agency taking?

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 155.58, this notice announces the availability
of EPA's interim registration review decisions for the pesticides shown
in Table 1. The interim registration review decisions are supported by
rationales included in the docket established for each chemical.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: FERC-539, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Import & Export Related
Applications.
    OMB Control No.: 1902-0062.
    Type of Request: Three-year extension of the FERC-539 information
collection requirements with no changes to the reporting requirements.
    Abstract: Section 3 of the Natural Gas Act (NGA) \1\ provides, in
part, that ``. . . . no person shall export any natural gas from the
United States to a foreign country or import any natural gas from a
foreign country without first having secured an order from the
Commission authorizing it to do so.'' The 1992 amendments to Section 3
of the NGA concern importation or exportation from/to a nation which
has a free trade agreement with the United States and requires that
such importation or exportation: (1) Shall be deemed to be a ``first
sale'' (i.e. not a sale for a resale) and (2) shall be deemed to be
consistent with the public interest. Applications for such importation
or exportation should be granted without modification or delay.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 717-717w.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The regulatory functions of Section 3 are shared by the Commission
and the Secretary of Energy, Department of Energy (DOE). The Commission
has the authority to approve or disapprove the construction and
operation of particular facilities, the site at which such facilities
shall be located, and, with respect to natural gas that involves the
construction of new domestic facilities, the place of entry for imports
or exit for exports. DOE approves the importation or exportation of the
natural gas commodity.\2\ Additionally, pursuant to the DOE Delegation
Order and Executive Order Nos. 10485 and 12038, the Commission has the
authority to issue Presidential Permits for natural gas facilities
which cross an international border of the United States. Persons
seeking Section 3 authorizations or Presidential Permits from the
Commission file applications

for such requests pursuant to Part 153 of the Commission's
Regulations.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Secretary of DOE's current delegation of authority to the
Commission relating to import and export facilities was renewed by
the Secretary's Delegation Order No. 00-004.00A, effective May 16,
2006.
    \3\ Part 153, Subpart B and Subpart C.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Type of Respondents: The respondents include all jurisdictional
natural gas companies seeking authorization from the Commission to
import or export natural gas.
    Estimate of Annual Burden: \4\ The Commission estimates the annual
public reporting burden for the information collection as:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Commission defines burden as 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. For further explanation of what is included in the
information collection burden, reference 5 Code of Federal
Regulations 1320.3.
    \5\ The estimates for cost per response are derived using the
2015 FERC average salary plus benefits of $149,489/year (or $72.00/
hour). Commission staff finds that the work done for this
information collection is typically done by wage categories similar
to those at FERC.

    Comments: Comments are invited on: (1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of
the Commission, including whether the information will have practical

14 CFR Part 39

[Docket No. FAA-2013-1059; Directorate Identifier 2013-NE-36-AD]
RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. Turboprop
Engines

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD) 2014-14-
02, which applies to certain Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. (P&WC) PW120,
PW121, PW121A, PW124B, PW127, PW127E, PW127F, PW127G, and PW127M
turboprop engines. AD 2014-14-02 requires removal of the O-ring seal
from the fuel manifold fitting. Since we issued AD 2014-14-02, we
received reports of fuel seepage past the metal-to-metal sealing
surfaces of the fuel nozzle and fuel manifold flow adapter. This
proposed AD would require replacement of the fuel nozzle and the fuel
manifold flow adapter. We are proposing this AD to prevent in-flight
fuel leakage, engine fire, damage to the engine, and damage to the
airplane.

Discussion

    On June 30, 2014, we issued AD 2014-14-02, Amendment 39-17896 (79
FR 39958, July 11, 2014), (``AD 2014-14-02''), for certain P&WC PW120,
PW121, PW121A, PW124B, PW127, PW127E, PW127F, PW127G, and PW127M
turboprop engines. AD 2014-14-02 requires removal of the O-ring seal
from the fuel manifold fitting. AD 2014-14-02 resulted from reports of
fuel leaks at the interface between the fuel manifold and the fuel
nozzle that resulted in engine fire. We issued AD 2014-14-02 to prevent
in-flight fuel leakage, engine fire, damage to the engine, and damage
to the airplane.

Actions Since AD 2014-14-02 Was Issued

    Since we issued AD 2014-14-02, we have received reports of fuel
seepage past the metal to metal sealing surfaces of the fuel nozzle and
fuel manifold flow adapter. The manufacturer has since redesigned the
fuel manifold flow adapter to prevent in-flight fuel leakage. This
redesign incorporates new internal diameters on the fuel manifold
adapters and the fuel nozzles.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    We reviewed P&WC SB No. PW100-72-21861, dated November 21, 2014,
which identifies the final fuel nozzle configuration. 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 of this NPRM.

Other Related Service Information

    P&WC SB No. PW100-72-21861, dated November 21, 2014, refers to the
following additional SBs that provide the final fuel nozzle
configuration: P&WC SB No. PW100-72-21803, Revision No. 5, dated
November 21, 2014, P&WC SB No. PW100-72-21860, Revision No. 2, dated
November 21, 2014, and P&WC SB No. PW100-72-21841, Revision No. 3,
dated December 22, 2014. This service information is available by the
means identified in the ADDRESSES section of this NPRM.

FAA's Determination

    We are proposing this AD because we evaluated all the relevant
information and determined the unsafe condition described previously is
likely to exist or develop in other products of the same type design.

Proposed AD Requirements

    This proposed AD would require replacement of the fuel nozzle and
the fuel manifold flow adapter.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this proposed AD would affect about 150 engines
installed on airplanes of U.S. registry. We also estimate that it would
take about 2.5 hours per engine to perform the replacement required by
this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per hour. The cost of a
fuel nozzle manifold replacement is $146,594. Based on these figures,
we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to be
$22,020,975.

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.

Regulatory Findings

    We have determined that this proposed AD would not have federalism
implications under Executive Order 13132. This proposed AD would 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 the proposed
regulation:
    (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 to the extent
that it justifies making a regulatory distinction, 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.

List of Subjects in 14 CFR Part 39

    Air transportation, Aircraft, Aviation safety, Incorporation by
reference, Safety.

The Proposed Amendment

    Accordingly, under the authority delegated to me by the
Administrator, the FAA proposes to amend 14 CFR part 39 as follows:

PART 39--AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVES

0
1. The authority citation for part 39 continues to read as follows:

    Authority: 49 U.S.C. 106(g), 40113, 44701.

Sec.  39.13  [Amended]

    Title: Notification of Episodic Releases of Oil and Hazardous
Substances (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1049.11, OMB Control No. 2050-0046.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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: Section 103(a) of CERCLA, as amended, requires the person
in charge of a facility or vessel to immediately notify the National
Response Center (NRC) of a hazardous substance release into the
environment if the amount of the release equals or exceeds the
substance's reportable quantity (RQ) limit. The RQ of every hazardous
substance can be found in Table 302.4 of 40 CFR 302.4.
    Section 311 of the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, requires the
person in charge of a vessel to immediately notify the NRC of an oil
spill into U.S. navigable waters if the spill causes a sheen, violates
applicable water quality standards, or causes a sludge or emulsion to
be deposited beneath the surface of the water or upon adjoining
shorelines.
    The reporting of a hazardous substance release that is above the
substance's RQ allows the Federal government to determine whether a
Federal response action is required to control or mitigate any
potential adverse effects to public health or welfare or the
environment. Likewise, the reporting of oil spills allows the Federal
government to determine whether cleaning up the oil spill is necessary
to mitigate or prevent damage to public health or welfare or the
environment.
    The hazardous substance and oil release information collected under
CERCLA section 103(a) and CWA section 311 also is available to EPA
program offices and other Federal agencies that use the information to
evaluate the potential need for additional regulations, new permitting
requirements for specific substances or sources, or improved emergency
response planning. Release notification information, which is stored in
the national Emergency Response Notification System (ERNS) data base,
is available to State and local government authorities as well as the
general public. State and local government authorities and the
regulated community use release information for purposes of local
emergency response planning. Members of the general public, who have
access to release information through the Freedom of Information Act,
may request release information for purposes of maintaining an
awareness of what types of releases are occurring in different
localities and what actions, if any, are being taken to protect public
health and welfare and the environment. ERNS fact sheets, which provide
summary and statistical information about hazardous substance and oil
release notifications, also are available to the public. 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 40 CFR
are listed in 40 CFR part 9.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 4.1
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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by
this action are facilities or vessels that manufacture, process,
transport, or otherwise use certain specified hazardous substances and
oil.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25,861.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 106,030 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,161,016 includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 7,294 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to EPA's updating of burden
estimates for this collection based upon historical information on the
number of responses made during the previous three year period. Based
upon revised estimates, the number of responses increased from an
estimated three year average of 24,082 to 25,861.

    Dated: October 18, 2007.

NPRM Notice of proposed rulemaking
Sec.  Section
U.S.C. United States Code

II. Background Information and Regulatory History

    The Coast Guard is issuing this temporary rule without prior notice
and opportunity to comment pursuant to authority under section 4(a) of
the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)). This provision
authorizes an agency to issue a rule without prior notice and
opportunity to comment when the agency for good cause finds that those
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B), the Coast Guard finds that
good cause exists for not publishing a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) with respect to this rule because it is impracticable. We must
establish this safety zone by November 19, 2018, and lack sufficient
time to provide a reasonable comment period and then consider those
comments before issuing the rule. On November 1, 2018, Reynolds
Construction, LLC notified Marine Safety Detachment Nashville that
their underwater pipeline construction operations at mile marker 465.2
of the Tennessee River would be ready to commence on November 19,

2018. Reynolds Construction estimates that the work will take 10 weeks,
excluding November 22-25, December 8-9, December 22-25, and December
29-January 1.
    Under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), the Coast Guard finds that good cause
exists for making it effective less than 30 days after publication in
the Federal Register. Delaying the effective date of this rule would be
contrary to the public interest because immediate action is needed to
respond to potential safety hazards associated with the underwater
pipeline construction.

III. Legal Authority and Need for Rule

    The Coast Guard is issuing this rule under authority in 33 U.S.C.
1231. The Captain of the Port Sector Ohio Valley (COTP) has determined
that potential hazards associated with the underwater blasting and
pipeline construction will be a safety concern for anyone on a one-mile
stretch of the Tennessee River. This rule is necessary to protect
persons, vessels, and the marine environment during the construction
operations.

IV. Discussion of the Rule

    This rule establishes a temporary safety zone from mile marker (MM)
465 to MM 466 on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, TN from 6:30 a.m.
on November 19, 2018, through 7:30 p.m. on January 25, 2019. The safety
zone will be enforced from 6:30 a.m. through 7:30 p.m. each day,
excluding November 22-25, December 8-9, December 22-25, and December
29-January 1. A safety vessel will coordinate all vessel traffic during
the enforcement periods. The COTP may terminate enforcement of this
rule if the work is finished earlier. The duration of the safety zone
is intended to protect persons, vessels, and the marine environment
during the construction operations.
    No vessel or person is permitted to enter the safety zone without
obtaining permission from the COTP or a designated representative. A
designated representative is a commissioned, warrant, or petty officer
of the U.S. Coast Guard assigned to units under the operational control
of Sector Ohio Valley, U.S. Coast Guard. They may be contacted on VHF
Channel 13 or 16, or at 1-800-253-7465. All persons and vessels
permitted to enter this safety zone must transit at their slowest safe
speed and comply with all directions issued by the COTP or the
designated representative. The COTP or a designated representative will
inform the public of the enforcement times and dates for this safety
zone through Broadcast Notices to Mariners (BNMs), Local Notices to
Mariners (LNMs), and/or Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIBs), as
appropriate.

V. Regulatory Analyses

    We developed this rule after considering numerous statutes and
Executive orders related to rulemaking. Below we summarize our analyses
based on a number of these statutes and Executive orders, and we
discuss First Amendment rights of protestors.

A. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 direct agencies to assess the
costs and benefits of available regulatory alternatives and, if
regulation is necessary, to select regulatory approaches that maximize
net benefits. Executive Order 13771 directs agencies to control
regulatory costs through a budgeting process. This rule has not been
designated a ``significant regulatory action,'' under Executive Order
12866. Accordingly, it has not been reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget, and pursuant to OMB guidance it is exempt from
the requirements of Executive Order 13771.
    This regulatory action determination is based on the size,
location, duration, and time-of-day of the safety zone. This safety
zone prohibits transit on a one-mile stretch of the Tennessee River for
about 13 hours, on workdays only, during a ten-week period. The rule
also allows vessels to seek permission to enter the zone.

B. Impact on Small Entities

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980, 5 U.S.C. 601-612, as
amended, requires Federal agencies to consider the potential impact of
regulations on small entities during rulemaking. The term ``small
entities'' comprises small businesses, not-for-profit organizations
that are independently owned and operated and are not dominant in their
fields, and governmental jurisdictions with populations of less than
50,000. The Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
    While some owners or operators of vessels intending to transit the
temporary safety zone may be small entities, for the reasons stated in
section V.A above, this rule will not have a significant economic
impact on any vessel owner or operator.
    Under section 213(a) of the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996 (Pub. L. 104-121), we want to assist small
entities in understanding this rule. If the rule would affect your
small business, organization, or governmental jurisdiction and you have
questions concerning its provisions or options for compliance, please
contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
    Small businesses may send comments on the actions of Federal
employees who enforce, or otherwise determine compliance with, Federal
regulations to the Small Business and Agriculture Regulatory
Enforcement Ombudsman and the Regional Small Business Regulatory
Fairness Boards. The Ombudsman evaluates these actions annually and
rates each agency's responsiveness to small business. If you wish to
comment on actions by employees of the Coast Guard, call 1-888-REG-FAIR
(1-888-734-3247). The Coast Guard will not retaliate against small
entities that question or complain about this rule or any policy or
action of the Coast Guard.

C. Collection of Information

    This rule will not call for a new collection of information under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).

D. Federalism and Indian Tribal Governments

    A rule has implications for federalism under Executive Order 13132,
Federalism, if it has 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. We have analyzed this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the fundamental federalism
principles and preemption requirements described in Executive Order
13132.
    Also, this rule does not have tribal implications under Executive
Order 13175, Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments, because it does not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes. If
you believe this rule has implications for federalism or Indian tribes,
please contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section above.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531-1538)
requires Federal agencies to assess the effects of their discretionary
regulatory actions. In

particular, the Act addresses actions that may result in the
expenditure by a State, local, or tribal government, in the aggregate,
or by the private sector of $100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule will not result in such an
expenditure, we do discuss the effects of this rule elsewhere in this
preamble.

F. Environment

    We have analyzed this rule under Department of Homeland Security
Directive 023-01 and Commandant Instruction M16475.1D, which guide the
Coast Guard in complying with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321-4370f), and have determined that this action is
one of a category of actions that do not individually or cumulatively
have a significant effect on the human environment. This rule prohibits
transit on a one-mile stretch of the Tennessee River for about 13 hours
on workdays only during a ten-week period. It is categorically excluded
from further review under paragraph L60(a) of Appendix A, Table 1 of
DHS Instruction Manual 023-01-001-01, Rev. 01. A Record of
Environmental Consideration supporting this determination is available
in the docket where indicated under ADDRESSES.

G. Protest Activities

    The Coast Guard respects the First Amendment rights of protesters.
Protesters are asked to contact the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section to coordinate protest activities so that
your message can be received without jeopardizing the safety or
security of people, places, or vessels.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2005-0549; FRL-8224-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Additional NOX Emission Reductions To Support
the Philadelphia-Trenton-Wilmington One-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area,
and Remaining NOX SIP Call Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions
submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. These revisions pertain
to nitrogen oxides (NOX) reductions that are required for
the Commonwealth to support its approved attainment demonstration for
the Philadelphia-Trenton-Wilmington one-hour ozone nonattainment area
(the Philadelphia Area); NOX reductions from stationary
internal combustion (IC) engines to meet the NOX SIP Call
Phase II (Phase II); and NOX reductions from cement kilns to
meet the NOX SIP Call. The revisions

also include provisions for emission credits for sources that generate
zero-emission renewable energy. The intended effect of this action is
to approve these revisions into the Pennsylvania SIP. This action is
being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act).
    Effective Date: This final rule is effective on October 30, 2006.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
Number EPA-R03-OAR-2005-0549. All documents in the docket are listed in
the http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Although listed in the electronic

docket, some information is not publicly available, i.e., confidential
business information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as copyrighted
material, is not placed on the Internet and will be publicly available
only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket materials are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On July 14, 2006 (71 FR 40048), EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The NPR proposed
approval of SIP revisions submitted by the Commonwealth on March 29,
2005, with a supplemental submittal on February 6, 2006.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The SIP revisions establish ozone season NOX emission
limits for certain existing and new boilers, turbines, and stationary
internal combustion engines that are small sources of NOX
located in the Pennsylvania portion of the Philadelphia Area. This
revision also establishes ozone season NOX emission limits
for large stationary internal combustion engines and Portland cement
kilns throughout the State. Other specific requirements of the SIP
revisions and the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained in
the NPR and will not be restated here. No public comments were received
on the NPR.

III. Final Action

    EPA is approving the SIP revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania on March 29, 2005, with a supplemental submission on
February 6, 2006. The revisions support the State's attainment
demonstration for the Philadelphia Area SIP and satisfy its remaining
obligations under the NOX SIP Call.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4). This rule also does not
have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct
effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes,
as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does
not have substantial direct effects 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999).
This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal
requirement, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule
also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not
impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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 rule 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. This rule is not a
``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

C. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 November 28, 2006. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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 to approve ozone season NOX emission limits
for small sources of NOX in the Philadelphia Area and for
large stationary internal combustion engines and Portland cement kilns
throughout the State may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
