RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace LP (Type
Certificate Previously Held by Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd.) Model
Astra SPX, 1125 Westwind Astra, and Gulfstream 100 Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: We propose to adopt a new airworthiness directive (AD) for the
products listed above. This proposed AD results from mandatory
continuing airworthiness information (MCAI) originated by an aviation
authority of another country to identify and correct an unsafe
condition on an aviation product. The MCAI describes the unsafe
condition as:

    Sponge rubber padding used to provide separation between wheel
well fuel lines and electrical harnesses was discovered during fleet
maintenance. Use of this type of padding for this purpose is not
approved as it is liable to cause corrosion of the fuel lines.
Unless steps are taken to remove this padding and install approved
separation means, fuel lines may be damaged by corrosion and/or
chafing resulting in an unsafe condition due to fuel leakage[, which
could result in a fire] in the wheel well area.

    The proposed AD would require actions that are intended to address
the unsafe condition described in the MCAI.

DATES: We must receive comments on this proposed AD by January 24,
2011.

Discussion

    The Civil Aviation Authority of Israel (CAAI), which is the
aviation authority for Israel, has issued Israeli Airworthiness
Directive 28-10-02-01, dated February 22, 2010 (referred to after this
as ``the MCAI''), to correct an unsafe condition for the specified
products. The MCAI states:

    Sponge rubber padding used to provide separation between wheel
well fuel lines and electrical harnesses was discovered during fleet
maintenance. Use of this type of padding for this purpose is not
approved as it is liable to cause corrosion of the fuel lines.
Unless steps are taken to remove this padding and install approved
separation means, fuel lines may be damaged by corrosion and/or
chafing resulting in an unsafe condition due to fuel leakage[, which
could result in a fire] in the wheel well area.

    Corrective actions include installing loop clamps to correct
improper separation and removing sponge rubber padding, and repair or
replacement of any corroded or chafed fuel lines found after sponge
rubber padding removal. You may obtain further information by examining
the MCAI in the AD docket.

Relevant Service Information

    Gulfstream Aerospace LP has issued Service Bulletin 100-28-297,
dated January 21, 2010. The actions described in this service
information are intended to correct the unsafe condition identified in
the MCAI.

FAA's Determination and Requirements of This Proposed AD

    This product has been approved by the aviation authority of another
country, and is approved for operation in the United States. Pursuant
to our bilateral agreement with the State of Design Authority, we have
been notified of the unsafe condition described in the MCAI and service
information referenced above. We are proposing this

AD because we evaluated all pertinent information and determined an
unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Differences Between This AD and the MCAI or Service Information

    We have reviewed the MCAI and related service information and, in
general, agree with their substance. But we might have found it
necessary to use different words from those in the MCAI to ensure the
AD is clear for U.S. operators and is enforceable. In making these
changes, we do not intend to differ substantively from the information
provided in the MCAI and related service information.
    We might also have proposed different actions in this AD from those
in the MCAI in order to follow FAA policies. Any such differences are
highlighted in a NOTE within the proposed AD.

Costs of Compliance

    Based on the service information, we estimate that this proposed AD
would affect about 130 products of U.S. registry. We also estimate that
it would take about 25 work-hours per product to comply with the basic
requirements of this proposed AD. The average labor rate is $85 per
work-hour. Required parts would cost about $100 per product. Where the
service information lists required parts costs that are covered under
warranty, we have assumed that there will be no charge for these costs.
As we do not control warranty coverage for affected parties, some
parties may incur costs higher than estimated here. Based on these
figures, we estimate the cost of the proposed AD on U.S. operators to
be $289,250, or $2,225 per product.\

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 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 this 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); and
    3. 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.
    We prepared a regulatory evaluation of the estimated costs to
comply with this proposed AD and placed it in the AD docket.

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

    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]

    2. The FAA amends Sec.  39.13 by adding the following new AD:

Gulfstream Aerospace LP (Type Certificate Previously Held by Israel
Aircraft Industries, Ltd.): Docket No. FAA-2010-1164; Directorate
Identifier 2010-NM-057-AD.

Comments Due Date

    (a) We must receive comments by January 24, 2011.

Affected ADs

    (b) None.

Applicability

    (c) This AD applies to Gulfstream Aerospace LP (Type Certificate
previously held by Israel Aircraft Industries, Ltd.) Model Astra
SPX, 1125 Westwind Astra, and Gulfstream 100 airplanes, serial
numbers 002 through 158 inclusive; certificated in any category.

Subject

    (d) Air Transport Association (ATA) of America Code 28: Fuel.

Reason

    (e) The mandatory continuing airworthiness information (MCAI)
states:

    Sponge rubber padding used to provide separation between wheel
well fuel lines and electrical harnesses was discovered during fleet
maintenance. Use of this type of padding for this purpose is not
approved as it is liable to cause corrosion of the fuel lines.
Unless steps are taken to remove this padding and install approved
separation means, fuel lines may be damaged by corrosion and/or
chafing resulting in an unsafe condition due to fuel leakage[, which
could result in a fire] in the wheel well area.

Corrective actions include installing loop clamps to correct
improper separation, removing sponge rubber padding, and repair or
replacement of any corroded or chafed fuel lines found after sponge
rubber padding removal.

Compliance

    (f) You are responsible for having the actions required by this
AD performed within the compliance times specified, unless the
actions have already been done.

Actions

    (g) Within 24 months after the effective date of this AD,
inspect for the presence of sponge rubber padding on the fuel lines
in the wheel well area and inspect the fuel lines and electrical
harnesses in the wheel well area for proper separation, in
accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Gulfstream
Service Bulletin 100-28-297, dated January 21, 2010.
    (1) If any sponge rubber padding is found, before further
flight, remove all sponge rubber padding from the fuel lines,
inspect the fuel lines that were covered with the rubber padding for
any corrosion and repair or replace as applicable any corroded or
chafed fuel lines, in accordance with the Accomplishment
Instructions of Gulfstream Service Bulletin 100-28-297, dated
January 21, 2010.
    (2) If any fuel lines and electrical harnesses are found to not
have proper separation, before further flight, install loop clamps
in accordance with the Accomplishment Instructions of Gulfstream
Service Bulletin 100-28-297, dated January 21, 2010.
    (3) If proper separation is found, and no sponge rubber padding
is found, no further action is required by this paragraph.

FAA AD Differences

    Note 1: This AD differs from the MCAI and/or service information
as follows:
    (1) Where Gulfstream Service Bulletin 100-28-297, dated January
21, 2010, specifies to submit a photo of any sponge rubber padding
that is found to the manufacturer, this AD does not require that
action.
    (2) Gulfstream Service Bulletin 100-28-297, dated January 21,
2010, instructs

operators to contact Gulfstream if technical assistance is required.
However, any deviation from the instructions provided in that
service bulletin must be approved as an alternative method of
compliance (AMOC) under the provisions of paragraph (h) of this AD.

Other FAA AD Provisions

    (h) The following provisions also apply to this AD:
    (1) Alternative Methods of Compliance (AMOCs): The Manager,
International Branch, ANM-116, Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA,
has the authority to approve AMOCs for this AD, if requested using
the procedures found in 14 CFR 39.19. Send information to ATTN: Mike
Borfitz, Aerospace Engineer, International Branch, ANM-116,
Transport Airplane Directorate, FAA, 1601 Lind Avenue, SW., Renton,
Washington 98057-3356; telephone<PHONE_NUMBER>; fax<PHONE_NUMBER>.
Before using any approved AMOC on any airplane to which the AMOC
applies, notify your principal maintenance inspector (PMI) or
principal avionics inspector (PAI), as appropriate, or lacking a
principal inspector, your local Flight Standards District Office.
The AMOC approval letter must specifically reference this AD.
    (2) Airworthy Product: For any requirement in this AD to obtain
corrective actions from a manufacturer or other source, use these
actions if they are FAA-approved. Corrective actions are considered
FAA-approved if they are approved by the State of Design Authority
(or their delegated agent). You are required to assure the product
is airworthy before it is returned to service.
    (3) Reporting Requirements: For any reporting requirement in
this AD, under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has
approved the information collection requirements and has assigned
OMB Control Number 2120-0056.

Related Information

    (i) Refer to MCAI Israeli Airworthiness Directive 28-10-02-01,
dated February 22, 2010; and Gulfstream Service Bulletin 100-28-297,
dated January 21, 2010; for related information.

Comment Info: =================

General Comment:I feel that that every individual who has smoked for years can have a motivation to quit their years of hardship. The lung disease will decrease and lives will be saved. It has made a large impact on the tobacco industry and with their fear this act is being amended.

A 75 day comment period is insufficient time for the vaping industry and the wider vaping community to comment on the proposed deeming regulations. I would respectfully request that the period for comment be extended to 180 days.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R08-OAR-2019-0623; FRL-10010-53-Region 8]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wyoming;
Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
regional haze progress report State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
submitted by the State of Wyoming on November 28, 2017. The revision
addresses the requirements for states to submit periodic reports
describing progress toward reasonable progress goals established for
regional haze and a determination of adequacy of the State's existing
regional haze SIP and federal implementation plan (FIP). The EPA is
taking this action pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: This rule is effective on July 27, 2020.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R08-OAR-2019-0623. All documents in the docket are
listed on the http://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g., 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 available through http://www.regulations.gov, or please call or email the person identified in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section for additional availability
information.

Division, EPA, Region 8, Mailcode 8ARD-IO, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver,
Colorado 80202-1129,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' means the EPA.

I. Background

    Under the Regional Haze Rule, states are required to submit
progress reports that evaluate progress towards the reasonable progress
goals for each mandatory Federal Class I area within the state and in
each Class I area outside the state that may be affected by emissions
from within the state.\1\ In addition, the provisions also require
states to submit, at the same time as the progress report, a
determination of the adequacy of the state's existing regional haze
plan. The first progress report must be in the form of a SIP revision
and is due 5 years after submittal of the initial regional haze SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 28, 2017, Wyoming submitted a Progress Report SIP
revision which: (1) Detailed the progress made toward achieving
progress for improving visibility at Class I areas,\2\ and (2) declared
a determination of adequacy of the State's regional haze plan to meet
reasonable progress goals.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ 42 U.S.C. 7491(a). Areas designated as mandatory Class I
Federal areas consist of national parks exceeding 6,000 acres,
wilderness areas and national memorial parks exceeding 5,000 acres,
and all international parks that were in existence on August 7,
1977. 42 U.S.C. 7472(a). In accordance with section 169A of the CAA,
EPA, in consultation with the Department of Interior, promulgated a
list of 156 areas where visibility is identified as an important
value. 44 FR 69122 (November 30, 1979). The extent of a mandatory
Class I area includes subsequent changes in boundaries, such as park
expansions. 42 U.S.C. 7472(a). Although states and tribes may
designate as Class I additional areas whose visibility they consider
to be an important value, the requirements of the visibility program
set forth in section 169A of the CAA apply only to ``mandatory Class
I Federal areas.'' Each mandatory Class I Federal area is the
responsibility of a ``Federal Land Manager.'' 42 U.S.C. 7602(i).
When we use the term ``Class I area'' in this section, we mean a
``mandatory Class I Federal area.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On April 17, 2020, the EPA published a proposed rulemaking titled
``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wyoming; Regional
Haze 5-Year Progress Report State Implementation Plan'' proposing to
approve Wyoming's Progress Report SIP revision.\3\ The rationale for
the EPA's proposed action is explained in the proposed rulemaking and
will not be restated here. The EPA is finalizing its proposed approval
of the Progress Report as meeting the applicable regional haze
requirements set forth in 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 85 FR 21341 (April 17, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Response to Comments

    We did not receive any comments on our proposed rulemaking during
the public comment period.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is finalizing approval of Wyoming's November 28, 2017,
Regional Haze Progress Report as meeting the applicable regional haze
requirements set forth in 40 CFR 51.309(d)(10).

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, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     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, described in the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the 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 25, 2020. 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)).

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R10-OAR-2015-0329; FRL-9930-69-Region 10]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Washington:
Interstate Transport Requirements for the 2008 Lead and 2010 Nitrogen
Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
submittal by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology)
demonstrating that the State Implementation Plan (SIP) meets certain
interstate transport requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) promulgated for lead
(Pb) on October 15, 2008 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) on
January 22, 2010. Specifically, Ecology conducted an emissions
inventory analysis and reviewed monitoring data to show that sources in
Washington do not significantly contribute to nonattainment or
interfere with maintenance of the 2008 Pb and 2010 NO2 NAAQS
in any other state.

DATES: This final rule is effective August 17, 2015.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R10-OAR-2015-0329. All documents in the docket are

III. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

I. Background Information

    On October 15, 2008 (73 FR 66964) and January 22, 2010 (75 FR
6474), the EPA revised the Pb and NO2 NAAQS, respectively.
Within three years after promulgation of a new or revised standard,
states must submit SIPs meeting the requirements of CAA sections
110(a)(1) and (2), often referred to as ``infrastructure''
requirements. On May 11, 2015, Ecology submitted a SIP revision to
address the CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements demonstrating
that sources in Washington do not significantly contribute to
nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2008 Pb and 2010
NO2 NAAQS in any other state. On May 27, 2015, the EPA
proposed to find that the Washington SIP meets the CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) interstate transport requirements for the 2008 Pb
and 2010 NO2 NAAQS (80 FR 30200). An explanation of the CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the submittal, and the EPA's
reasons for approval were provided in the notice of proposed
rulemaking, and will not be restated here. The public comment period
for this proposed rule ended on June 26, 2015. The EPA received no
comments on the proposal.

II. Final Action

    The EPA reviewed the May 11, 2015 submittal from Ecology
demonstrating that sources in Washington do not significantly
contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2008
Pb and 2010 NO2 NAAQS in any other state. The EPA has
determined that the Washington SIP meets the CAA section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) interstate transport requirements for the 2008 Pb
and 2010 NO2 NAAQS. This action is being taken under section
110 of the CAA.

III. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    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, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State
law. For that reason, this action:

     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because this action does not involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide the 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).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in
Washington except as specifically noted below and is also not approved
to apply in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Washington's SIP
is approved to apply on non-trust land within the exterior boundaries
of the Puyallup Indian Reservation, also known as the 1873 Survey Area.
Under the Puyallup Tribe of Indians Settlement Act of 1989, 25 U.S.C.
1773, Congress explicitly provided state and local agencies in
Washington authority over activities on non-trust lands within the 1873
Survey Area. Consistent with EPA policy, the EPA provided a
consultation opportunity to the Puyallup Tribe in a letter dated
September 3, 2013. The EPA did not receive a request for consultation.
    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. The 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 September 14, 2015. 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).
