Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plan; State of Colorado; Second Ten-Year PM10, 2850-2851 [2015-00778]

Download as PDF 2850 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 13 / Wednesday, January 21, 2015 / Proposed Rules asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS NOX sources in the HGB area on April 2, 2013 (78 FR 19599). Also, see 40 CFR 52. 2270(e). Taken together, we are proposing to find Texas has RACT-level controls in place for all affected VOC and NOX sources in the HGB and DFW areas under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. III. Proposed Action We are proposing to approve rule revisions to sections 30 TAC chapter 115.422, 115.427, 115.429, 115.430, 115.432, 115.433, 115.435, 115.436, and 115.439 implementing controls on the source categories of Table 1 of this action. We are proposing to approve new sections 30 TAC chapter 115.431, 115.450, 115.451, 115.453–115.455, 115.458–115.461, 115.463–115.465, 115.468–115.471, 115.473–115.475, 115.478, and 115.479 implementing controls on the source categories of Table 1 of this action. We are proposing to approve repeal of section 30 TAC chapter 115.437. We are proposing to find that for VOC CTG categories identified in Table 1 Texas has RACT-level controls in place for the HGB and DFW areas under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. We are proposing to find that Texas has RACT-level controls in place for the Flexographic and Rotogravure Printing operations for the HGB area. We are proposing to approve the negative declarations as explained in section II(C) of this action. We are proposing to approve NOX RACT for the DFW area under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. In consideration of the rule revisions proposed for approval in this action, as well as the rule revisions previously approved, taken together, we are proposing that with its rules in 30 TAC Chapters 115, and 117 Texas is implementing RACT for all affected VOC and NOX sources in the HGB and DFW areas under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. We are proposing to approve these revisions in accordance with sections 110, 182, and 183 of the federal CAA. The EPA had previously approved RACT for all affected NOX sources for the HGB area under the 1997 8-Hour ozone standard. The EPA had previously approved RACT for all affected VOC and NOX sources into Texas’ SIP under the 1Hour ozone standard. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:28 Jan 20, 2015 Jkt 235001 provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. If a portion of the plan revision meets all the applicable requirements of this chapter and Federal regulations, the Administrator may approve the plan revision in part. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices that meet the criteria of the Act, and to disapprove state choices that do not meet the criteria of the Act. Accordingly, this proposed action 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 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 Clean Air Act; • 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); and • is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial PO 00000 Frm 00012 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of Colorado. On May 11, 2012, the designee of the Governor of Colorado submitted to EPA a revised maintenance plan for the Steamboat Springs area for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 microns (PM10). The SIP was adopted by the State on December 15, 2011. As required by Clean Air Act (CAA) section 175A, this revised maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the PM10 standard for a second 10-year period beyond the area’s original redesignation to attainment for the PM10 NAAQS. In addition, EPA is proposing approval of the revised maintenance plan’s 2024 transportation conformity motor vehicle emissions budget for PM10. This action is being taken under sections 110 and 175A of the CAA. DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 20, 2015.

ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve in part and disapprove in part the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted by the State of Alabama, through the Alabama Department of Environmental Management (ADEM), for inclusion into the Alabama SIP. This proposal pertains to the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act) infrastructure requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). The CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an ‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. ADEM certified that the Alabama SIP contains provisions that ensure the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Alabama. With the exception of provisions pertaining to prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting, interstate transport, and visibility protection requirements for which EPA is proposing no action through this notice, and with the exception of the provisions respecting state boards, for which EPA is proposing disapproval, EPA is proposing to approve Alabama’s infrastructure SIP submission provided to EPA on August 20, 2012, as satisfying the required infrastructure elements for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing

this revised maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the 
PM10 standard for a second 10-year period beyond the area's 
original redesignation to attainment for the PM10 NAAQS. In

adverse comment. See the information provided in the direct final
