RIN 2120-AA64

Airworthiness Directives; Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
Airplanes

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

SUMMARY: The FAA proposes to supersede Airworthiness Directive (AD)
2020-23-04, which applies to certain Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation
Model GVII-G500 and GVII-G600 airplanes. AD 2020-23-04 requires
revising the existing airplane flight manual (AFM) and airplane
maintenance manual (AMM) to include information pertaining to the fuel
boost pump. Since the FAA issued AD 2020-23-04, an inspection for a
missing or misplaced impeller shaft key of suspect fuel boost pumps has
been developed that would terminate the actions of AD 2020-23-04. This
proposed AD would retain the requirements of AD 2020-23-04 and require
inspecting affected fuel boost pumps for proper installation of the
impeller shaft key, marking affected fuel boost pumps that pass that
inspection, and replacing fuel boost pumps that fail. This proposed AD
would also limit installation of affected fuel boost pumps. The FAA is
proposing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products.

DATES: The FAA must receive comments on this proposed AD by October 20,
2023.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, using the procedures found in 14 CFR
11.43 and 11.45, by any of the following methods:

agency will also post a report summarizing each substantive verbal
contact received about this proposed AD.

Confidential Business Information

    CBI is commercial or financial information that is both customarily
and actually treated as private by its owner. Under the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. 552), CBI is exempt from public
disclosure. If your comments responsive to this NPRM contain commercial
or financial information that is customarily treated as private, that
you actually treat as private, and that is relevant or responsive to
this NPRM, it is important that you clearly designate the submitted
comments as CBI. Please mark each page of your submission containing
CBI as ``PROPIN.'' The FAA will treat such marked submissions as
confidential under the FOIA, and they will not be placed in the public
docket of this NPRM. Submissions containing CBI should be sent to Jared
Meyer, Aviation Safety Engineer, FAA, 1701 Columbia Avenue, College
Park, GA 30337; phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>; email: [email protected].
Any commentary that the FAA receives that is not specifically

rulemaking.

Background

    The FAA issued AD 2020-23-04, Amendment 39-21320 (85 FR 71232,
November 9, 2020) (AD 2020-23-04), for certain Gulfstream Aerospace
Corporation Model GVII-G500 and GVII-G600 airplanes. AD 2020-23-04 was
prompted by a report of misassembled impellers on the shaft of the fuel
boost pump during production. AD 2020-23-04 requires revising the
existing AFM and AMM to include information pertaining to the fuel
boost pump. The agency issued AD 2020-23-04 to prevent the ignition of
flammable vapors in the fuel tank as a result of frictional heating or
sparks caused by a dislodged impeller shaft key inside the fuel boost
pump, which, if the pump were to run dry, could result in a fuel tank
fire or fuel tank explosion.

Actions Since AD 2020-23-04 Was Issued

    The preamble to AD 2020-23-04 specifies that the FAA considers the
requirements ``interim action'' and that the manufacturer is developing
a modification that will address the unsafe condition. That AD explains
that the FAA might consider further rulemaking if a modification is
developed, approved, and available. The manufacturer now has developed
inspection instructions for fuel boost pumps to determine correct
installation of the impeller shaft key, including replacement or re-
identification, as applicable, that will terminate the requirement to
update the AFM and AMM, and the FAA has determined that further
rulemaking is indeed necessary; this proposed AD follows from that
determination.

FAA's Determination

    The FAA is issuing this NPRM after determining that the unsafe
condition described previously is likely to exist or develop on other
products of the same type design.

Related Service Information Under 1 CFR Part 51

    The FAA reviewed Gulfstream GVII-G500 Customer Bulletin No. 069 and
Gulfstream GVII-G600 Customer Bulletin No. 037, both Revision A, both
dated February 2, 2023, which describe procedures for inspecting
affected fuel boost pumps for proper installation of the impeller shaft
key, marking affected fuel boost pumps that pass that inspection, and
replacing fuel boost pumps that fail. These documents are distinct
since they apply to different airplane models.
    This proposed AD would also require the following Gulfstream
service information, which the Director of the Federal Register
approved for incorporation on November 24, 2020 (85 FR 71232).
     GVII-G500 Maintenance Manual 12-13-01 Defueling Procedure-

    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.

Proposed AD Requirements in This NPRM

    This proposed AD would retain all requirements of AD 2020-23-04.
This proposed AD would also require accomplishing the actions
identified as ``RC'' (required for compliance) in the Accomplishment
Instructions of Gulfstream GVII-G500 Customer Bulletin No. 069 and
Gulfstream GVII-G600 Customer Bulletin No. 037, both Revision A, both
dated February 2, 2023, already described, except as discussed under
``Differences Between the Service Information and this Proposed AD.''
This proposed AD would also limit the installation of affected parts.

Difference Between Service Information and This Proposed AD

    For this AD, step III.D. of Gulfstream GVII-G500 Customer Bulletin
No. 069, Revision A, dated February 2, 2023, and Gulfstream GVII-G600
Customer Bulletin No. 037, Revision A, dated February 2, 2023, as
applicable, is also RC.

Costs of Compliance

    The FAA estimates that this AD, if adopted as proposed, would
affect 89 airplanes of U.S. registry. The FAA estimates the following
costs to comply with this proposed AD:

                                                 Estimated Costs
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Cost per    Cost on U.S.
                  Action                            Labor cost           Parts cost    product       operators
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Incorporate information into AMM and AFM   2 work-hours x $85 per hour           $0         $170         $15,130
 (retained actions from AD 2020-23-04).     = $170.
Impeller shaft key inspection (new         36 work-hours x $85 per                0        3,060         272,340
 proposed action).                          hour = $3,060.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA estimates the following costs to do any necessary part
marking and fuel boost pump replacements that would be required based
on the results of the proposed inspection for proper installation. The
FAA has no way of determining the number of aircraft that might need
these actions:

                           On-Condition Costs
------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Cost per
            Action                Labor cost     Parts cost    product
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part marking.................  0.5 work-hour x          $10       $52.50
                                $85 per hour =
                                $42.50.
Fuel pump replacement (per     10 work-hours x      106,706      107,556
 fuel boost pump).              $85 per hour =
                                $850.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The FAA has included all known costs in its cost estimate.
According to the manufacturer, however, some or all of the costs of
this proposed AD may be covered under warranty, thereby reducing the
cost impact on affected operators.

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.
    The FAA is 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

    The FAA has 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) Would not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska, and
    (3) Would not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-65719; File No. SR-Phlx-2011-148]

 Self-Regulatory Organizations; NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC; Notice of
Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of Proposed Rule Change Relating to
Qualified Contingent Cross Orders

November 9, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\

notice is hereby given that on November 1, 2011, NASDAQ OMX PHLX LLC
(``Phlx'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``SEC'' or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as
described in Items I, II, and III, below, which Items have been
prepared by the Exchange. The Commission is publishing this notice to
solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to amend its Fee Schedule to adopt a rebate
related to electronic Qualified Contingent Cross orders (``eQCC
Orders'').\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ A QCC Order is comprised of an order to buy or sell at least
1000 contracts that is identified as being part of a qualified
contingent trade, as that term is defined in Rule 1080(o)(3),
coupled with a contra-side order to buy or sell an equal number of
contracts. The QCC Order must be executed at a price at or between
the National Best Bid and Offer and be rejected if a Customer order
is resting on the Exchange book at the same price. A QCC Order shall
only be submitted electronically from off the floor to the PHLX XL
II System. See Rule 1080(o). See also Securities Exchange Act
Release No. 64249 (April 7, 2011), 76 FR 20773 (April 13, 2011) (SR-
Phlx-2011-47) (a rule change to establish a QCC Order to facilitate
the execution of stock/option Qualified Contingent Trades (``QCTs'')
that satisfy the requirements of the trade through exemption in
connection with Rule 611(d) of the Regulation NMS).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The text of the proposed rule change is available on the Exchange's
Web site at http://nasdaqtrader.com/micro.aspx?id=PHLXfilings, at the
principal office of the Exchange, on the Commission's Web site at
http://www.sec.gov, and at the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The purpose of the proposed rule change is to amend Section II of
the Exchange's Fee Schedule entitled ``Equity Options Fees'' \4\ to
adopt a $0.05 per contract rebate to encourage members to submit a
greater number of eQCC Orders. The proposed $0.05 per contract rebate
will be paid to members entering electronically executed eQCC
Orders.\5\ The Exchange believes that this rebate will further
incentivize market participants to execute eQCC Orders on the Exchange
in Multiply Listed Securities.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Section II includes options overlying equities, ETFs, ETNs,
indexes and HOLDRS which are Multiply Listed.
    \5\ Members will be required to contact the Exchange and obtain
an ``R'' account in order to identify these eQCC Orders as orders
entered by the member for the purposes of applying the rebate. The
Exchange intends to issue an Options Trader Alert to members
describing the steps that need to be taken to obtain an ``R''
account.
    \6\ Multiply Listed Securities include those symbols which are
subject to rebates and fees in Section I, Rebates and Fees for
Adding and Removing Liquidity in Select Symbols, and Section II,
Equity Options Fees.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The rebate will not apply to Floor Qualified Contingent Cross
Orders (``Floor QCC Orders'').\7\ QCC Transaction Fees for a
Specialist,\8\ Registered Options Trader,\9\ SQT,\10\ RSQT,\11\
Professional,\12\ Firm and Broker-Dealer are $0.20 per contract.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ A Floor QCC Order must: (i) Be for at least 1,000 contracts,
(ii) meet the six requirements of Rule 1080(o)(3) which are modeled
on the QCT Exemption, (iii) be executed at a price at or between the
National Best Bid and Offer (``NBBO''); and (iv) be rejected if a
Customer order is resting on the Exchange book at the same price. In
order to satisfy the 1,000-contract requirement, a Floor QCC Order
must be for 1,000 contracts and could not be, for example, two 500-
contract orders or two 500-contract legs. See Rule 1064(e). See also
Securities Exchange Act Release No. 64688 (June 16, 2011) (SR-Phlx-
2011-56).
    \8\ A Specialist is an Exchange member who is registered as an
options specialist pursuant to Rule 1020(a).
    \9\ A Registered Options Trader (``ROT'') includes a SQT, a RSQT
and a Non-SQT ROT, which by definition is neither a SQT nor a RSQT.
A ROT is defined in Exchange Rule 1014(b) as a regular member or a
foreign currency options participant of the Exchange located on the
trading floor who has received permission from the Exchange to trade
in options for his own account. See Exchange Rule 1014(b)(i) and
(ii).
    \10\ An SQT is defined in Exchange Rule 1014(b)(ii)(A) as an ROT
who has received permission from the Exchange to generate and submit
option quotations electronically in options to which such SQT is
assigned.
    \11\ An RSQT is defined Exchange Rule in 1014(b)(ii)(B) as an
ROT that is a member or member organization with no physical trading
floor presence who has received permission from the Exchange to
generate and submit option quotations electronically in options to
which such RSQT has been assigned. An RSQT may only submit such
quotations electronically from off the floor of the Exchange.
    \12\ The Exchange defines a ``professional'' as any person or
entity that (i) is not a broker or dealer in securities, and (ii)
places more than 390 orders in listed options per day on average
during a calendar month for its own beneficial account(s)
(hereinafter ``Professional'').
    \13\ QCC Transaction Fees apply to QCC Orders, as defined in
Exchange Rule 1080(o), and Floor QCC Orders, as defined in 1064(e).
The QCC Transaction Fees, defined in Section II, are applicable to
Section I entitled ``Rebates and Fees for Adding and Removing
Liquidity in Select Symbols.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange also proposes to amend Section I of the Fee Schedule
entitled ``Rebates and Fees for Adding and Removing Liquidity in Select
Symbols'' to include a reference to the proposed rebate.
2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that its proposal to amend its Fee Schedule
is consistent with Section 6(b) of the Act \14\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4) of the Act \15\ in
particular, in that it is an equitable allocation of reasonable fees
and other charges among Exchange members. The Exchange also believes
that there is an equitable allocation of reasonable rebates among
Exchange members.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \15\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that it is reasonable to incentivize members
to transact eQCC Orders in Multiply Listed securities \16\ by paying a
$0.05 per contract rebate to all members entering such orders. The
Exchange believes that paying a rebate of $0.05 will sufficiently
incentivize its members to send eQCC Orders to the Exchange.
Furthermore, the $0.05 rebate is within the range of rebates paid by
other exchanges and balances the Exchange's desire to incentivize its
members to send order flow to the Exchange while considering the costs
attributable to offering such rebates. The Exchange also believes that
the $0.05 rebate is reasonable because every eQCC Order is entitled to
the rebate and therefore all members are equally eligible to receive
the rebate without limitation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \16\ The rebate does not apply to Singly Listed Securities. For
purposes of this filing, a Singly Listed Option means an option that
is only listed on the Exchange and is not listed by any other
national securities exchange. See Section III of the Exchange's Fee
Schedule entitled Singly Listed Options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange is not proposing to pay this rebate for Floor QCC
Orders. A

member conducting a floor brokerage business has a different business
model as compared to members conducting an electronic business.\17\ The
Exchange believes that it is reasonable to pay a rebate for only eQCC
Orders in an attempt to incentivize members to transact eQCC Orders
that are processed electronically. In addition, floor brokers, who are
the only members that are eligible to enter Floor QCC Orders,\18\ which
are done through the Exchange's Floor Broker Management System
(``FBMS''), are also eligible to receive an Options Floor Broker
Subsidy on Floor QCC volume and other executed volume.\19\ The Exchange
believes that because any floor broker is capable of meeting the volume
criteria for the subsidy offered by the Exchange, it is reasonable to
offer the proposed rebate only to eQCC Orders, which are submitted
electronically from off the floor.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ For example, the types of orders that are handled by a
floor broker may be larger in size or complex as compared to an
order that is processed electronically.
    \18\ See the Exchange's Fee Schedule in Section VII for a list
of eligible contracts.
    \19\ See Section VII of the Exchange's Fee Schedule entitled
``Options Floor Broker Subsidy.'' A per contract subsidy is paid
based on the contract volume on Customer-to-non-Customer as well as
non-Customer-to-non-Customer transactions for that month.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that utilizing a different rebate structure
for eQCC and Floor QCC Orders is reasonable because of the different
business models, described herein, that apply to a floor as compared to
an electronic business. Furthermore, in assessing whether to offer
rebates, the Exchange experiences different competitive pressures from
other exchanges with respect to eQCC Orders. The Exchange does not
experience the same competitive pressure with rebates for Floor QCC
Orders. The Exchange also believes that paying a different rebate for
eQCC and Floor QCC Orders is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory
because other exchanges distinguish between delivery methods for
certain market participants and pay different rebates depending on the
method of delivery. This type of distinction is not novel and has long
existed within the industry.
    The Exchange believes that it is equitable and not unfairly
discriminatory to pay a $0.05 rebate for executed eQCC Orders to the
executing member because all market participants, with the exception of
floor brokers, as described above, that enter orders on an agency basis
are uniformly eligible for the proposed rebate. Additionally, the
proposed rebate is within the range of tiered rebates offered by the
International Securities Exchange, LLC (``ISE'').\20\ The Exchange
believes that it is equitable and not unfairly discriminatory to pay
the $0.05 rebate for Multiply-Listed options as compared to Singly-
Listed options because all market participants are eligible to transact
Multiply-Listed options.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See ISE's Schedule of Fees. ISE pays members using its
qualified contingent cross and/or solicitation order types a rebate
according to a table based on the number of originating contract
sides. Once a member reaches a certain volume threshold in qualified
contingent cross and/or solicitation orders during the month, ISE
pays a rebate to that member entering a qualifying order for all
qualified contingent cross and/or solicitation traded contracts for
that month. For example, for 0-1,999,999 originating contract sides
ISE pays no rebate; for 2,000,000 to 3,499,999 originating contract
sides ISE pays $0.03 per contract; for 3,500,000 to 3,999,999
originating contract sides ISE pays $0.05 per contract; and for
4,000,000 or more originating contract sides ISE pays $0.07 per
contract.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange operates in a highly competitive market comprised of
nine U.S. options exchanges in which sophisticated and knowledgeable
market participants readily can, and do, send order flow to competing
exchanges if they deem fee levels at a particular exchange to be
excessive. The Exchange believes that the proposed rebate for eQCC
Orders must be competitive with rebates offered on other options
exchanges. The Exchange believes that this competitive marketplace
impacts the rebates present on the Exchange today and influences the
proposals set forth above.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were either solicited or received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The foregoing rule change has become effective pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(ii) of the Act.\21\ At any time within 60 days of the
filing of the proposed rule change, the Commission summarily may
temporarily suspend such rule change if it appears to the Commission
that such action is necessary or appropriate in the public interest,
for the protection of investors, or otherwise in furtherance of the
purposes of the Act. If the Commission takes such action, the
Commission shall institute proceedings to determine whether the
proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request

Upon Written Request, Copies Available From: Securities and Exchange
Commission, Office of Investor Education and Advocacy, Washington, DC
20549-0213.

Extension:
    Rule 6h-1, SEC File No. 270-497, OMB Control No. 3235-0555.

    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') has submitted to the Office of Management
and Budget a request for approval of extension of the previously
approved collection of information provided for in Rule 6h-1 (17 CFR
240.6h-1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(``Act'') (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.).
    Section 6(h) of the Act (15 U.S.C. 78f(h)) requires national
securities exchanges and national securities associations that trade
security futures products to establish listing standards that, among
other things, require that: (i) Trading in such products not be readily
susceptible to price manipulation; and (ii) the market on which the
security futures product trades has in place procedures to coordinate
trading halts with the listing market for the security or securities
underlying the security futures product. Rule 6h-1 implements these
statutory requirements and requires that (1) the final settlement price
for each cash-settled security futures product fairly reflect the
opening price of the underlying security or securities, and (2) the
exchanges and associations trading security futures products halt
trading in any security futures product for as long as trading in the
underlying security, or trading in 50% of the underlying securities, is
halted on the listing market.
    It is estimated that approximately 18 respondents, consisting of 14
national securities exchanges and 4 national securities exchanges
notice-registered pursuant to Section 6(g) of the Act (15 U.S.C.
78f(g)), will incur an average burden of 10 hours per year to comply
with this rule, for a total burden of 180 hours. At an average cost per
hour of approximately $316, the resultant total cost of compliance for
the respondents is $56,880 per year (18 respondents x 10 hours/
respondent x $316/hour = $56,880).
    Compliance with Rule 6h-1 is mandatory. Any listing standards
established pursuant to Rule 6h-1

would be filed with the Commission as proposed rule changes pursuant to
Section 19(b) of the Act, and would be published in the Federal
Register.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid control number.
    Comments should be directed to: (i) Desk Officer for the Securities
and Exchange Commission, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs,
Office of Management and Budget, Room 10102, New Executive Office
Building, Washington, DC 20503, or by sending an e-mail to: Shagufta_
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and (ii) Charles Boucher, Director/Chief Information
Officer, Securities and Exchange Commission, c/o Remi Pavlik-Simon,
6432 General Green Way, Alexandria, VA 22312 or send an e-mail to:

notice.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2019-0331; FRL-10001-88-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Illinois; NAAQS Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
revision to the Illinois State implementation plan (SIP). The revision,
submitted on May 30, 2019, incorporates several revisions to the
Illinois air pollution control rules entitled ``Part 243--Ambient Air
Quality Standards'' related to the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS). The revision updates the ``List of Designated
Reference and Equivalent Methods'' in response to EPA rulemakings. In
addition, Illinois addresses EPA's revocation of the 1971 sulfur
dioxide and the 1978 lead NAAQS.

DATES: This final rule is effective on December 5, 2019.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2019-0331. All documents in the docket are listed on
the www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in the index, 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 available either
through www.regulations.gov or at the Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604. This facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. We recommend
that you telephone Charles Hatten, Environmental Engineer, at (312)
886-6031 before visiting the Region 5 office.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Charles Hatten, Environmental
Engineer, Control Strategies Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604,<PHONE_NUMBER><EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

I. What is being addressed in this document?

    This rule acts on the May 30, 2019, request from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency to incorporate revisions to Title 35 of
the Illinois Administrative Code, Part 243--Air Quality Standards (Part
243). The background for today's action is discussed in detail in EPA's
proposal, dated August 15, 2019 (84 FR 41672).

II. What comments did we receive on the proposed action?

    EPA provided a 30-day review and comment period for the August 15,
2019 proposed rule. The comment period ended on September 16, 2019. We
received no adverse comments on the proposed rule.
    EPA did, however, receive one anonymous comment. The commenter was
unable to access the submission materials for the Illinois 2018 NAAQS
Update, R19-6, through the online docket at www.regulations.gov, and

therefore suggested the comment period be extended another 30 days.
According to the document information on www.regulations.gov, the
submission materials were posted on September 11, 2019. The comment was
posted on September 17, 2019. EPA's August 15, 2019 proposed rule
included contact information for the EPA Region 5 office, which could
have assisted the commenter with accessing or receiving the submission
materials, but EPA has no record of the commenter making such contact.
Furthermore, since the commenter did not explain (or provide a legal
basis for) how the final rule should differ in any way from the
proposed action, and made no specific mention of the substantive
aspects of the proposed action, the comment is not germane to this
rulemaking. Therefore, EPA will not extend comment period for another
30 days.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving a revision to Part 243 of the Illinois SIP.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Illinois
regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 below. EPA
has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 5 Office
(please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). Therefore,
these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP,
have been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to
the SIP compilation.\1\

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 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 expected to be an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR
9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory action because this action is not
significant 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, 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, 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 6, 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) of the CAA.)
