SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document, the terms ``we,''
``us,'' and ``our'' refer to EPA.
I. EPA's Action
On August 9, 2012 (77 FR 47530), EPA took final action to approve
in part and disapprove in part a SIP revision submitted by Hawaii
Department of Health (HDOH) on December 14, 2011 to address the
infrastructure requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2) for the 1997
national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for ozone and the 1997
and 2006 NAAQS for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) (``2011
Hawaii Infrastructure SIP'').
In this document, we are making certain corrections to the entries
in the table in paragraph (3) of 40 CFR 52.620, clarifying the contents
of the applicable plan as approved on August 9, 2012, and specifying
the extent to which EPA disapproved the December 14, 2011 SIP
submittal. Specifically, we are:
Correcting the title of the approved plan and the
submittal date (the submittal date was December 14, 2011, not December
14, 2012);
Clarifying that the plan, as approved on August 9, 2012,
does not include the public process documentation included in the
December 14, 2011 SIP submittal;
Clarifying the specific statutory provisions approved on
August 9, 2012, and the extent to which the approved existing SIP
statutory provisions were thereby superseded, by listing all approved
statutory provisions (including a few previously approved and not
superseded) separately as nonregulatory provisions in the Hawaii SIP;
and
Specifying the extent of our disapproval for the Hawaii
Infrastructure SIP for the various elements under CAA section
110(a)(2).
EPA has determined that today's 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 where public notice and
comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the
public interest. Public notice and comment for this action are
unnecessary because today's clarification of EPA's August 9, 2012 final
rule approving in part and disapproving in part the 2011 Hawaii
Infrastructure SIP has no substantive impact on that approval and the
clarification makes no substantive difference to EPA's analysis as set
out in that rule. In addition, EPA can identify no particular reason
why the public would be interested in being notified of this
clarification since the opportunity to comment on the action to approve
in part and disapprove in part the 2011 Hawaii Infrastructure SIP was
previously provided and no comments were received.
EPA also finds that there is good cause under APA section 553(d)(3)
for this clarification to become effective on the date of publication
of this action. Section 553(d)(3) of the APA allows an effective date
less than 30 days after publication ``as otherwise provided by the
agency for good cause found and published with the rule.'' (5 U.S.C.
553(d)(3)). The purpose of the 30-day waiting period prescribed in APA
section 553(d)(3), is to give affected parties a reasonable time to
adjust their behavior and prepare before the final
[[Page 17870]]
rule takes effect. Today's rule, however, does not create any new
regulatory requirements such that affected parties would need time to
prepare before the rule takes effect. Rather, today's rule simply
clarifies the contents of the applicable plan as approved on August 9,
2012, and specifies the extent to which EPA disapproved the December
14, 2011 SIP submittal. For these reasons, EPA finds good cause under
APA section 553(d)(3) for this clarification to become effective on the
date of publication of this action.
II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
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 clarifies the contents of the applicable Hawaii SIP as approved
on August 9, 2012, and specifies the extent to which EPA disapproved
the 2011 Hawaii Infrastructure SIP in the August 9, 2012 final rule.
This clarification has no substantive impact on EPA's August 9, 2012,
approval and it imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed
by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this action
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 clarification 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
(Pub. L. 104-4).
This clarification 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 clarifies the contents of a state plan implementing a Federal
standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established in the CAA. This action 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 CAA. 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 CAA. 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 action does not impose an
information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. section 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. 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.
section 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 May 30, 2014. 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 may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

3. Section 52.623 is revised to read as follows:
Sec. 52.623 Approval status.
(a) With the exceptions set forth in this subpart, the
Administrator approves Hawaii's plan for attainment and maintenance of
the national standards. The State included various provisions in its
plan to provide for the attainment of the State ambient air quality
standards. As described in the Governor's letters of January 28, May 8,
and May 22, 1972, these provisions were included for information
purposes only and were not to be considered a part of the plan to
implement national standards. Accordingly, these additional provisions
are not considered a part of the applicable plan.
