SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, it is
intended to refer to EPA.
I. Background
On June 2, 2020, Idaho submitted a
request for EPA to redesignate the West
Silver Valley area to attainment for the
2012 annual PM
2.5
NAAQS under
section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA. On
September 15, 2021, EPA proposed to
approve Idaho’s SIP revision (86 FR
51318). An explanation of the CAA
requirements, a detailed analysis of the
submittal, and the EPA’s reasons for
approval were provided in the notice of
proposed rulemaking. The public
comment period for this proposed
rulemaking closed on October 15, 2021.
EPA received no comments during the
public comment period.
II. Final Action
EPA is redesignating the West Silver
Valley 2012 annual PM
2.5
nonattainment area and is approving the
associated maintenance plan and motor
vehicle emission budgets for the area.
The designation status of the West
Silver Valley under 40 CFR part 81 will
be revised to attainment upon the
effective date of this final action.
III. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Clean Air Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42
U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus,
in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s
role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. 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.);
