Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 157 / Wednesday, August 18, 2021 / Proposed Rules
423 Low Emission Vehicles with one important caveat. Washington did not submit provisions related to Californias greenhouse gas motor vehicle emission standards.7 A strikeout version of Chapter 173423 WAC with the greenhouse gas provisions excluded from our proposed approval is included in the docket for this action.8 These exclusions are also noted in the table of regulations proposed for approval in section III. of this preamble. Lastly, as discussed in section I.E. of this preamble, Chapter 173423 WAC does
not include Californias zero emission vehicle requirements.9
III. The EPAs Proposed Action As previously noted, under section 177 of the CAA, states with CAA part D attainment or maintenance plans, such as Washington, are authorized to adopt Californias standards in lieu of federal vehicle standards. Washington first adopted the California standards effective December 31, 2005; however, the state did not submit the LEV rules for approval in the SIP at the time. In
2019, Washington submitted the LEV
rules to strengthen the SIP with respect to ozone control statewide, including current maintenance areas.10 We are proposing to approve Washingtons request because it meets the requirements of section 177 of the CAA.
Specifically, the EPA is proposing to approve and incorporate by reference into the Washington SIP at 40 CFR
52.2470c, Table 1Regulations Approved Statewide, the regulations listed in the table below.

SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410k;
40 CFR 52.02a. Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, the EPAs role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed 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;
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;

9 On May 10, 2021, Ecology announced intent to start rulemaking to revise Chapter 173423 WAC to include zero emission vehicles for passenger cars, light duty trucks, and medium duty vehicles; zero emission vehicles for medium and heavy duty
trucks Advanced Clean Trucks; and low emission vehicle requirements for medium duty vehicles.
