SUMMARY:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001

On June 21, 2021, EPA proposed to approve revisions to several sections of Title 35 of the Illinois Administrative Code, Part 243 35 IAC 243, Subparts A
General Provisions and B
Standards and Measurement Methods requested by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency on October 20, 2020 and February 16, 2021.
See 86 FR 32366. An explanation of the applicable Clean Air Act CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the revisions, and EPAs reasons for proposing approval were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking and will not be restated here. The public comment period for this proposed rulemaking ended on July 21, 2021. EPA
did not receive any comments on the proposal. Therefore, we are finalizing our action as proposed.
II. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is approving the revisions to 35
IAC 243 as outlined in Illinois October 20, 2020 submittal, except for 35 IAC
243.108. EPA is also approving the revisions to 35 IAC 243 as outlined in Illinois February 16, 2021 submittal.

incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.1
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 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 Public Law 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.
