frequency for testing beyond the initial compliance test, and do not specify what criteria must be met for certified manufacturer emission rates to be evidence of compliance.
II. Public Comments and EPA
Responses The EPAs proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. During this period, we received one comment from the MDAQMD expressing concern regarding the EPAs communication with the District in advance of the proposed action, indicating that these issues could have been raised sooner to give the District an opportunity to address them in the local rulemaking process. Although the comment expressed concern about the EPAs communications with the District during the rule development process, the comment did not criticize the substance of the deficiencies identified by the EPA in the proposed rulemaking and described the EPAs concerns as legitimate. The District also stated they would be initiating a local rulemaking process in the near future to resolve these issues. Accordingly, we acknowledge the concerns raised by the District, but do not consider the comment to be suggesting that the EPA
take a different course of action in the current rulemaking.

III. EPA Action No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rule as described in our proposed action.
Therefore, as authorized by the grant of authority to approve and disapprove SIP
submissions contained in sections 110k3 and 301a of the Act, the EPA
is finalizing a limited approval and limited disapproval of the submitted rule. Our limited approval incorporates the submitted rule into the California SIP, including those provisions identified as deficient.
As a result of the limited disapproval, the EPA must promulgate a Federal implementation plan FIP under section 110c unless we approve subsequent SIP revisions that correct the rule deficiencies within 24 months.
In addition, the offset sanction in CAA section 179b2 will be imposed 18 months after the effective date of this action, and the highway funding sanction in CAA section 179b1 six months after the offset sanction is imposed. A sanction will not be imposed if the EPA determines that a subsequent SIP submission corrects the identified deficiencies before the applicable deadline.

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the MDAQMD rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders can be found at http www.epa.gov/lawsregulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review This action is not a significant regulatory action and was therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget OMB for review.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act PRA
This action does not impose an information collection burden under the PRA because this action does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act RFA
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This action will not impose any requirements on small entities beyond those imposed by state law.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act UMRA
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 15311538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect small governments. This action does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, will result from this action.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism This action does not have federalism implications. It will 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.
F. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175, because the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction, and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect children, per the definition of covered regulatory action in section 2202 of the Executive order. This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act NTTAA
Section 12d of the NTTAA directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. The EPA believes that this action is not subject to the requirements of section 12d of the NTTAA because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations The EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental justice in this rulemaking.
K. Congressional Review Act CRA
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
