93.109e. However, because LMP areas are still maintenance areas, certain aspects of transportation conformity determinations still will be required for transportation plans, programs, and projects. Specifically, for such determination, RTPs, TIPs, and transportation projects still will have to demonstrate that they are fiscally constrained 40 CFR 93.108, meet the criteria for consultation 40 CFR 93.105
and 93.112 and transportation control measure implementation in the conformity rule provisions 40 CFR
93.113. Additionally, conformity determinations for RTPs and TIPs must be determined no less frequently than every four years, and conformity of plan and TIP amendments and transportation projects is demonstrated in accordance with the timing requirements specified in 40 CFR 93.104. In addition, for projects to be approved, they must come from a currently conforming RTP and TIP 40 CFR 93.114 and 93.115. The Tioga County Area remains under the obligation to meet the applicable conformity requirements for the 1997
ozone NAAQS.

III. Proposed Action EPAs review of PADEPs March 10, 2020 submittal indicates that it meets all applicable CAA requirements, specifically the requirements of CAA
section 175A. EPA is proposing to approve the second maintenance plan for the Tioga County Area as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document.
These comments will be considered before taking final action.
IV. 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. 7410k; 40 CFR 52.02a.
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPAs 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 proposed 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

action because it is not a significant regulatory action 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. 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, this proposed rulemaking, proposing approval of Pennsylvanias second maintenance plan for the Tioga County Area, does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000, because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

Air Plan Approval; Connecticut;
Regulations To Limit Premises-Wide Actual and Potential Emissions From Major Stationary Sources of Air Pollution Environmental Protection Agency EPA.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection Agency EPA is proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan SIP
revision submitted by the State of Connecticut. This revision proposes to approve into the Connecticut SIP state regulations that apply restrictions on emissions of criteria pollutants for which EPA has established National Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Separately, we are also proposing to approve Connecticut regulations that apply restrictions on emissions of hazardous air pollutants HAPs. The Connecticut regulations impose legally and practicably enforceable emissions limitations restricting eligible sources actual and potential emissions below major stationary source thresholds, if a source chooses to be covered by the regulations. Such restrictions would generally allow eligible sources to avoid having to comply with reasonably available control technology RACT
that would otherwise apply to major stationary sources, title V operating permit requirements, or other requirements that apply only to major stationary sources. This action is being taken under the Clean Air Act.
