I. Background
On February 10, 2014, WDEQ
submitted to EPA a SIP revision to
WAQSR Chapter 3, section 2(d), as well
as updates to the State’s incorporation
by reference (IBR) of federal regulations.
In a document published on July 16,
2014, we proposed approval of the
State’s revision to WAQSR Chapter 3,
section 2(d); we did not propose to take
any action on the remaining updates in
the State’s February 10, 2014 submittal
(79 FR 41509).
In our proposed rule, we explained
that, in accordance with the
requirements of CAA section
110(a)(2)(A), SIPs must contain
enforceable emission limitations and, in
accordance with the definition of
‘‘emission limitations’’ in CAA section
302(k), such emission limitations must
be continuous. In addition, under CAA
section 304(a), any person may bring a
civil action against any person alleged
to have violated (if there is evidence
that the alleged violation has been
repeated) or to be in violation of an
‘‘emission standard or limitation’’ under
the CAA. For the purposes of section
304, ‘‘emission standard or limitation’’
is defined in section 304(f) and includes
SIP emission limitations. Thus, SIP
emission limitations can be enforced in
a section 304 action and so must be
capable of enforcement. SIP provisions
that create exemptions such that excess
emissions during startup, shutdown,
malfunctions (SSM) and other
conditions are not violations of the
applicable emission limitations are
inconsistent with these fundamental
requirements of the CAA with respect to
emission limitations in SIPs.
For these reasons, we proposed
approval of Wyoming’s revision of
WAQSR Chapter 3, section 2(d).
Previously, certain language in WAQSR
Chapter 3, section 2(d) created an
exemption for particulate matter
emissions in excess of a 30 percent
opacity standard from diesel engines
during startup, malfunction, and
maintenance. Because this provision
allowed exemptions from the otherwise
applicable SIP emission limitation, it
was inconsistent with CAA
requirements. The State’s revision to
section 2(d) addresses this deficiency by
removing the problematic language.
This revision is sufficient to correct
the inadequacies contained within
section 2(d) and is consistent with the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:03 Oct 20, 2014
Jkt 235001
requirements of the CAA. As a result of
the revision, the improper exemptions
from emissions limitations contained
within section 2(d) will no longer be
available to sources. Therefore, the
emissions limitation in section 2(d) will
become continuous and more
enforceable.
II. Response to Comments
The comment period for our July 16,
2014 document was open for 30 days.
EPA received supportive comments on
this proposed action from both WDEQ
and the Sierra Club. WDEQ also
requested that EPA act on the remainder
of the February 10, 2014 submittal as
expeditiously as possible. EPA
acknowledges these comments.
III. EPA’s Final Action
We are approving the State’s revision
to WAQSR Chapter 3, section 2(d) of the
Wyoming SIP, as reflected in the State’s
February 10, 2014 submission. This
approval effectively corrects the
deficiency with this provision of the
Wyoming SIP, as discussed above, in
our proposed rule, and in EPA’s
February 22, 2013 proposed national
SSM SIP Call (78 FR 12533). Based on
this final approval, EPA notes that the
deficiency in the Wyoming SIP
identified in the proposed SSM SIP call
has now been correctly resolved. Thus,
EPA’s final action on the SSM SIP call
should not need to address this
deficiency. We are not taking action
today on the remainder of the February
10, 2014 submission.
IV. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
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 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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• 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
PO 00000
Frm 00064
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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. 104–4);
• 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 12(d) 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 rule 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.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by December 22,
2014. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of
this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving changes to Wyoming's State Implementation
Plan (SIP). On February 10, 2014, the Wyoming Department of
Environmental Quality (WDEQ) submitted to EPA revisions to the Wyoming
SIP. These revisions included the removal of an exemption from Wyoming
Air Quality Standards and Regulations (WAQSR) Chapter 3, section 2(d).
In this action, EPA is approving the revision of this provision into
the SIP because the revision is consistent with Clean Air Act (CAA)
requirements. The revision will correct certain deficiencies related to
the treatment of excess emissions from sources. EPA will address the
remaining revisions from Wyoming's February 10, 2014 submission in a
separate action.
DATES: This final rule is effective November 20, 2014.

I. Background
On February 10, 2014, WDEQ submitted to EPA a SIP revision to WAQSR
Chapter 3, section 2(d), as well as updates to the State's
incorporation by reference (IBR) of federal regulations. In a document
published on July 16, 2014, we proposed approval of the State's
revision to WAQSR Chapter 3, section 2(d); we did not propose to take
any action on the remaining updates in the State's February 10, 2014
submittal (79 FR 41509).
In our proposed rule, we explained that, in accordance with the
requirements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(A), SIPs must contain enforceable
emission limitations and, in accordance with the definition of
``emission limitations'' in CAA section 302(k), such emission
limitations must be continuous. In addition, under CAA section 304(a),
any person may bring a civil action against any person alleged to have
violated (if there is evidence that the alleged violation has been
repeated) or to be in violation of an ``emission standard or
limitation'' under the CAA. For the purposes of section 304, ``emission
standard or limitation'' is defined in section 304(f) and includes SIP
emission limitations. Thus, SIP emission limitations can be enforced in
a section 304 action and so must be capable of enforcement. SIP
provisions that create exemptions such that excess emissions during
startup, shutdown, malfunctions (SSM) and other conditions are not
violations of the applicable emission limitations are inconsistent with
these fundamental requirements of the CAA with respect to emission
limitations in SIPs.
For these reasons, we proposed approval of Wyoming's revision of
WAQSR Chapter 3, section 2(d). Previously, certain language in WAQSR
Chapter 3, section 2(d) created an exemption for particulate matter
emissions in excess of a 30 percent opacity standard from diesel
engines during startup, malfunction, and maintenance. Because this
provision allowed exemptions from the otherwise applicable SIP emission
limitation, it was inconsistent with CAA requirements. The State's
revision to section 2(d) addresses this deficiency by removing the
problematic language.
This revision is sufficient to correct the inadequacies contained
within section 2(d) and is consistent with the requirements of the CAA.
As a result of the revision, the improper exemptions from emissions
limitations contained within section 2(d) will no longer be available
to sources. Therefore, the emissions limitation in section 2(d) will
become continuous and more enforceable.
II. Response to Comments
The comment period for our July 16, 2014 document was open for 30
days. EPA received supportive comments on this proposed action from
both WDEQ and the Sierra Club. WDEQ also requested that EPA act on the
remainder of the February 10, 2014 submittal as expeditiously as
possible. EPA acknowledges these comments.
III. EPA's Final Action
We are approving the State's revision to WAQSR Chapter 3, section
2(d) of the Wyoming SIP, as reflected in the State's February 10, 2014
submission. This approval effectively corrects the deficiency with this
provision of the Wyoming SIP, as discussed above, in our proposed rule,
and in EPA's February 22, 2013 proposed national SSM SIP Call (78 FR
12533). Based on this final approval, EPA notes that the deficiency in
the Wyoming SIP identified in the proposed SSM SIP call has now been
correctly resolved. Thus, EPA's final action on the SSM SIP call should
not need to address this deficiency. We are not taking action today on
the remainder of the February 10, 2014 submission.
IV. Statutory and Executive Orders Review
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the 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 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
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. 104-4);
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 12(d) 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 rule 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.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by December 22, 2014. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time
[[Page 62861]]
within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
