SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Each state has a SIP containing the control measures and strategies
used to attain and maintain the national ambient air quality standards
(NAAQS). The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air
pollution control regulations, emission inventories, monitoring
networks, attainment demonstrations, and enforcement mechanisms.
Each state must formally adopt the control measures and strategies
in the SIP after the public has had an opportunity to comment on them
and then submit the proposed SIP revisions to EPA. Once these control
measures and strategies are approved by EPA, and after notice and
comment, they are incorporated into the federally-approved SIP and are
identified in part 52--``Approval and Promulgation of Implementation
Plans,'' Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (40 CFR part 52).
The full text of the state regulation approved by EPA is not reproduced
in its entirety in 40 CFR part 52 but is ``incorporated by reference.''
This means that EPA has approved a given state regulation or specified
changes to the given regulation with a specific effective date. The
public is referred to the location of the full text version should they
want to know which measures are contained in a given SIP. The
information provided allows EPA and the public to monitor the extent to
which a state implements a SIP to attain and maintain the NAAQS and to
take enforcement action for violations of the SIP.
The SIP is a living document which the state can revise as
necessary to address the unique air pollution problems in the state.
Therefore, EPA from time to time must take action on proposed revisions
containing new or revised state regulations. A submission from a state
can revise one or more rules in their entirety or portions of rules.
The state indicates the changes in the submission (such as by using
redline/strikethrough text) and EPA then takes action on the requested
changes. EPA establishes a docket for its actions using a unique Docket
Identification Number, which is listed in each action. These dockets
and the complete submission are available for viewing on
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a>.
On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), EPA revised the procedures for
incorporating by reference, into the Code of Federal Regulations,
materials approved by EPA into each SIP. These changes revised the
format for the identification of the SIP in 40 CFR part 52, streamlined
the mechanisms for announcing EPA approval of revisions to a SIP, and
streamlined the mechanisms for EPA's updating of the IBR information
contained for each SIP in 40 CFR part 52. The revised procedures also
called for EPA to maintain ``SIP Compilations'' that contain the
federally approved regulations and source-specific permits submitted by
each state agency.
EPA generally updates these SIP Compilations on an annual basis.
Under the revised procedures, EPA must periodically publish an
informational document in the rules section of the Federal Register
notifying the public that updates have been made to a SIP Compilation
for a particular state. EPA began applying the 1997 revised procedures
to North Carolina on May 20, 1999 (64 FR 27465), Forsyth County on
August 9, 2002 (67 FR 51763), Mecklenburg County on October 22, 2002
(67 FR 64999), Western North Carolina on October 26, 2018 (83 FR
54032), and EPA-Approved North Carolina Source-Specific Requirements on
November 24, 2020 (85 FR 74884), and is providing this notification in
accordance with such procedures.
II. EPA Action
In this action, EPA is providing notification of an update to the
materials incorporated by reference into the North Carolina SIP as of
April 29, 2023, and identified in 40 CFR 52.1770(c) and (d). This
update includes SIP materials submitted by North Carolina and approved
by EPA since the last IBR update. See 83 FR 54032 (October 26, 2018).

[[Page 50777]]
III. Good Cause Exemption
EPA has determined that this action falls under the ``good cause''
exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the Administrative Procedure Act
(APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,'' authorizes agencies to
dispense with public participation and section 553(d)(3) which allows
an agency to make an action effective immediately (thereby avoiding the
30-day delayed effective date otherwise provided for in the APA). This
administrative action simply codifies provisions which are already in
effect as a matter of law in Federal and approved state programs, makes
corrections and clarifying changes to the tables in the CFR, and makes
ministerial changes to the prefatory heading to the tables in the CFR.
Under section 553 of the APA, an agency may find good cause where
procedures are ``impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public
interest.'' Public comment for this administrative action is
``unnecessary'' and ``contrary to the public interest'' since the
codification (and corrections) only reflect existing law. Immediate
notice of this action in the Federal Register benefits the public by
providing the public notification of the updated North Carolina SIP
Compilation and notification of corrections to the North Carolina
``Identification of Plan'' portion of the CFR. Further, pursuant to
section 553(d)(3), making this action immediately effective benefits
the public by immediately updating both the SIP Compilation and the CFR
``Identification of plan'' section (which includes table entry
corrections).
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 regulations
promulgated by North Carolina, previously approved by EPA and federally
effective before April 29, 2023, contained in ``North Carolina, Volume
1, 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(1), EPA-Approved North Carolina Regulations'',
``North Carolina, Volume 2, 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(2), EPA-Approved Forsyth
County Regulations'', ``North Carolina, Volume 3, 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(3),
EPA-Approved Mecklenburg County Regulations'', ``North Carolina, Volume
4, 40 CFR 52.1770(c)(4), EPA-Approved Western North Carolina
Regulations,'' and ``North Carolina, Volume 5, 40 CFR 52.1770(d), EPA-
Approved Source-Specific Regulations''. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these materials generally available through
<a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> and at the EPA Region 4 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 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
final rule and notification of administrative change does not impose
additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
<bullet> 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.);
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
<bullet> Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
<bullet> 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.
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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.'' EPA did not perform
an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Consideration of
EJ is not required as part of this action, and there is no information
in the record inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of
achieving EJ for people of color, low-income populations, and
Indigenous peoples.
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).
EPA also believes that the provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the
CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial review are not applicable to
this action. This is because prior EPA rulemaking actions for each
individual component of the North Carolina SIP Compilation previously
afforded interested parties the opportunity to file a petition for
judicial review in the United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate
[[Page 50778]]
circuit within 60 days of such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA believes
judicial review of this action under section 307(b)(1) is not
available.
