III. Incorporation by Reference In accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are finalizing regulatory text that includes the incorporation by reference of subparts Cf and DDDD of chapter 33.11512, section 2 of the North Dakota Administrative Code NDAC as effective on July 1, 2020. Subparts Cf and DDDD are part of the North Dakota CAA section 111d state plan applicable to existing MSW landfills and the section 111d/129 state plan for existing CISWI units, respectively. The regulatory provisions of these sections of the NDAC incorporate the required 111d and 111d/129 state plan elements required by the emission guidelines EG for existing MSW
landfills and CISWI units promulgated at 40 CFR part 60, subparts Cf and DDDD. The incorporations establish emission standards and compliance times for the control of air pollutants from certain MSW landfills that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction on or before July 17, 2014 and designated CISWI and ACI
units that commenced construction on or before June 4, 2010 or commenced modification or reconstruction no later than August 7, 2013. The emissions standards and compliance times established within these NDAC sections and the North Dakota state plans are at least as stringent as those required by the EG for existing MSW landfills and CISWI units. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, NDAC section 33.1151202 as well as the North Dakota state plan documents for existing MSW landfills and CISWI units generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov, Docket No. EPAR08OAR20210187 and in hard copy at the EPA Region 8 office please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information. This incorporation by reference has been approved by the Office of the Federal Register and the Plans are federally enforceable under

the CAA as of the effective date of this final rulemaking.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve section 111d state plan submissions that comply with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7411d; 40 CFR part 60, subparts B, Cf and DDDD; and 40 CFR
part 62, subpart A. Thus, in reviewing CAA section 111d state plan submissions, the EPAs role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Act and implementing regulations. 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 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, described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 Pub. L. 1044;
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 12d 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 CAA section 111d Plans are not approved to apply in Indian country, as defined at 18 U.S.C.
1151, located in the state. As such, this rule does not have tribal implications, as specified by Executive Order 13175
65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000, and it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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. 8042.
Under section 307b1 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 September 7, 2021. 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 307b2.
