Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the New Jersey
Department of Environmental
Protection. The SIP revision consists of
the following: 2011 calendar year ozone
precursor emission inventories for
volatile organic compounds, oxides of
nitrogen and carbon monoxide for the
Northern New Jersey-New YorkConnecticut area classified as Moderate
ozone nonattainment for the 2008 8hour ozone standard, and Southern New
Jersey-Philadelphia ozone
nonattainment area classified as
Marginal ozone nonattainment for the
2008 8-hour ozone standard. In
addition, the SIP revision also consists
of the 2011 calendar year statewide
periodic emissions inventory for
particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to 2.5
microns (PM2.5) and the associated
PM2.5 and/or Regional Haze precursors.
The pollutants included in this
inventory include volatile organic
compounds, oxides of nitrogen, PM2.5,
particulate matter with an aerodynamic
diameter less than or equal to 10
microns, ammonia and sulfur dioxide.

I. Background—What is the Periodic
Emissions Inventory?
Section 182(a)(3) and 172(c)(3) of the
Clean Air Act requires the periodic
submission of emissions inventories for
the SIP planning process to address the
pollutants for the ozone, particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter
less than or equal to 2.5 microns (PM2.5)
and carbon monoxide (CO) National
Ambient Air Quality Standards.
Identifying the calendar year gives
certainty to states that require
submission of the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
emission inventories periodically. These
requirements allow the EPA, based on
the states’ progress in reducing
emissions, to periodically reassess its
policies and air quality standards and
revise them as necessary. Most
important, the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
inventories will be used to develop and
assess new control strategies that the
states may use in attainment
demonstration SIPs for the new National
Ambient Air Quality Standards for
ozone and PM2.5. The inventory may
also serve as part of statewide
inventories for purposes of regional
modeling in transport areas. The
inventory plays an important role in
modeling demonstrations for areas
classified as nonattainment and outside
transport regions. In addition, 40 CFR
51.308(d)(4)(v) of EPA’s Regional Haze
Rule (RHR) requires the establishment
of a statewide emissions inventory of
pollutants that are reasonably
anticipated to cause or contribute to
visibility impairment in any mandatory
Class I area.
New Jersey has areas that are
classified as nonattainment for the 2008
8-hour ozone standard. See 77 FR 30088
(May 21, 2012) for the Southern New
Jersey-Philadelphia area classified as
Marginal ozone nonattainment, and 81
FR 26697 (May 4, 2016) for the Northern
New Jersey-New York-Connecticut area
classified as Moderate ozone
nonattainment. Therefore, an ozone
emissions inventory is needed for these
areas for air quality program planning
purposes. For Regional Haze, New
Jersey has a Class I area within its
borders: Brigantine Wilderness Area
(Brigantine). Emissions from New
Jersey’s sources were also found to
impact visibility at several other Class I
areas: Acadia National Park and the
Moosehorn Wilderness Area in Maine,
the Great Gulf Wilderness Area and
Presidential Range/Dry River
Wilderness Area in New Hampshire,
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
17167
and the Lye Brook Wilderness Area in
Vermont. See 76 FR 49711 (August 11,
2011). Therefore, an emissions
inventory is needed for the Regional
Haze air quality planning program
effort.
The pollutants inventoried by New
Jersey include volatile organic
compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) and CO summertime daily and
annual emissions for the ozone areas;
and VOC, NOX, PM2.5, particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than
or equal to 10 microns (PM10), ammonia
(NH3) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) annual
emissions for the PM2.5 and/or Regional
Haze areas. For the reasons stated above,
ideally EPA would therefore emphasize
the importance and benefits of
developing a comprehensive, current,
and accurate ozone and PM2.5/Regional
Haze emissions inventory (similar to the
1990 base year inventory effort). In this
case, the 2011 calendar year has been
selected as the inventory that will be
used for planning purposes for ozone
and PM2.5/Regional Haze areas.
II. What are the criteria for approving
the Periodic Inventory?
On June 11, 2015, New Jersey
submitted the 2011 ozone emissions
inventory for the Northern New JerseyNew York-Connecticut and Southern
New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone
nonattainment areas and the 2011
emissions inventory for the PM2.5/
Regional Haze areas and requested that
EPA approve the emissions inventory
SIP revision. This section describes
EPA’s rationale for proposing to approve
the emissions inventory SIP revision. A
more detailed discussion of the EPA’s
review and proposed action is found in
the technical support document (TSD)
available in the Docket for this action,
and by contacting the individuals in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section.
There are specific components of an
acceptable emission inventory. The
emission inventory must meet certain
minimum requirements for reporting
each source category. Specifically, the
source requirements are detailed below.
The review process, which is
described in the accompanying TSD, is
used to determine that all components
of the base year inventory are present.
This review also evaluates the level of
supporting documentation provided by
the state, assesses whether the
emissions were developed according to
current EPA guidance, and evaluates the
quality of the data.
The review process is outlined here
and consists of eight elements that the
inventory must include. For an
emissions inventory to be acceptable, it
E:\FR\FM\10APP1.SGM
10APP1
17168
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 67 / Monday, April 10, 2017 / Proposed Rules
must pass all of the following
acceptance criteria:
1. Evidence that the inventory was
quality assured by the state and its
implementation documented;
2. The point source inventory was
complete;
3. Point source emissions were
prepared or calculated according to the
current EPA guidance;
4. The area source inventory was
complete;
5. The area source emissions were
prepared or calculated according to the
current EPA guidance;
6. Non-road mobile emissions were
prepared according to the current EPA
guidance for all of the source categories;
7. The method (e.g., Highway
Performance Monitoring System or a
network transportation planning model)
used to develop vehicle miles travelled
(VMT) estimates follows the EPA
guidance; and,
8. On-road mobile emissions were
prepared according to the current EPA
guidance.
Based on the EPA’s review, New
Jersey satisfies all of the EPA’s
requirements for purposes of providing
a comprehensive, accurate, and current
inventory of actual emissions for the
ozone nonattainment and PM2.5/
Regional Haze areas. A summary of the
EPA’s review is given below:
1. The Quality Assurance (QA) plan
was implemented for all portions of the
inventory. The QA plan included a QA/
Quality control (QC) program for
assessing data completeness and
standard range checking. Critical data
elements relative to the inventory
sources were assessed for completeness.
QA checks were performed relative to
data collection and analysis, and double
counting of emissions from point, area
and mobile sources. QA/QC checks
were conducted to ensure accuracy of
units, unit conversions, transposition of
figures, and calculations. The inventory
is well documented. New Jersey
provided documentation detailing the
methods used to develop emissions
estimates for each category. In addition,
New Jersey identified the sources of
data used in developing the inventory;
2. The point source emissions are
complete and in accordance with the
EPA guidance;
3. The point source emissions were
prepared/calculated in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
4. The area source emissions are
complete and in accordance with the
EPA guidance;
5. Area source emissions were
prepared/calculated in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
6. Emission estimates for the non-road
mobile source categories are correctly
based on the latest non-road mobile
model or other appropriate guidance
and prepared in accordance with the
EPA guidance;
7. The method used to develop VMT
estimates is in accordance with the EPA
guidance and was adequately described
and documented in the inventory
report; and,
8. The latest Motor Vehicle Emission
Simulator (MOVES) model was used in
accordance with the EPA’s guidance.
New Jersey’s 2011 ozone and PM2.5/
Regional Haze emission inventories
have been developed in accordance
with EPA guidance. Therefore, EPA is
proposing to approve the emission
inventories. A more detailed discussion
of how the emission inventory was
reviewed and the results of the review
are presented in the TSD. Detailed
emission inventory development
procedures can be found in the
following document: Emission Inventory
Guidance for Implementation of Ozone
and Particulate Matter NAAQS and
Regional Haze Regulation, dated August
2005; Using MOVES to Prepare
Emission Inventories in State
Implementation Plans and

III. What action is the EPA proposing
to take?
The New Jersey emission inventory
SIP revision will ensure that the
requirements for emission inventory
measures and reporting are adequately
met. To comply with the emission
inventory requirements, New Jersey
submitted a complete inventory
containing point, area, on-road, and
non-road mobile source data, and
accompanying documentation. EPA is
proposing to approve the SIP revision
submittal as meeting the essential
reporting requirements for emissions
inventories. EPA has also determined
that the SIP revision meets the
requirements for emission inventories in
accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to
approve a revision to the New Jersey SIP
which pertains to the following: 2011
calendar year summer season daily and
annual ozone precursor emissions
emission inventories for VOC, NOX and
CO for the Northern New Jersey-New
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:41 Apr 07, 2017
Jkt 241001
York-Connecticut and the Southern
New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone
nonattainment areas. In addition, the
EPA is proposing to approve the 2011
calendar year PM2.5/Regional Haze
emissions inventory that was developed
statewide for New Jersey. The pollutants
included in the inventory are annual
emissions for VOC, NOX, PM2.5, PM10,
NH3 and SO2. Interested parties may
participate in the Federal rulemaking
procedure by submitting written
comments to the EPA Region 2 Office by
the method discussed in the ADDRESSES
section of this action.
IV. 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 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
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
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 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);
E:\FR\FM\10APP1.SGM
10APP1
17174
Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 67 / Monday, April 10, 2017 / Proposed Rules
• 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;
and
• Does not provide the 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 the EPA notes
that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175
does not apply to this action.

This proposed action, taken
under the authority of the Clean Air Act,
would correct an error in previously
promulgated rules approving certain
elements of the North Carolina state
implementation plan (SIP). This error
relates to the North Carolina SIP’s Motor
Vehicle Emissions Control Standard
rules and the correction removes a
provision of the State’s otherwise
federally-enforceable regulations that
could result in infringement upon the
sovereign immunity of Federal facilities.
The intended effect is to ensure that the
North Carolina SIP is correctly
identified in the applicable part of the
Code of Federal Regulations and to
eliminate the possibility of such
infringement.

Periodic Emission Inventory SIP for the Ozone Nonattainment and PM2.5/
Regional Haze Areas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the New
Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The SIP revision
consists of the following: 2011 calendar year ozone precursor emission
inventories for volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen and
carbon monoxide for the Northern New Jersey-New York-Connecticut area
classified as Moderate ozone nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard, and Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone nonattainment area
classified as Marginal ozone nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone
standard. In addition, the SIP revision also consists of the 2011
calendar year statewide periodic emissions inventory for particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
(PM2.5) and the associated PM2.5 and/or Regional
Haze precursors. The pollutants included in this inventory include
volatile organic compounds, oxides of nitrogen, PM2.5,
particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to
10 microns, ammonia and sulfur dioxide.
[[Page 17167]]
Emission inventories are needed to develop and assess new control
strategies that the states may use in attainment demonstration SIPs for
the new National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and
PM2.5. The inventory may also serve as part of statewide
inventories for purposes of regional modeling in ozone and Regional
Haze transport areas. The inventory plays an important role in modeling
demonstrations for areas classified as nonattainment for ozone, carbon
monoxide and PM2.5.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background--What is the Periodic Emissions Inventory?
Section 182(a)(3) and 172(c)(3) of the Clean Air Act requires the
periodic submission of emissions inventories for the SIP planning
process to address the pollutants for the ozone, particulate matter
with an aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 2.5 microns
(PM2.5) and carbon monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards. Identifying the calendar year gives certainty to
states that require submission of the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
emission inventories periodically. These requirements allow the EPA,
based on the states' progress in reducing emissions, to periodically
reassess its policies and air quality standards and revise them as
necessary. Most important, the ozone, PM2.5 and CO
inventories will be used to develop and assess new control strategies
that the states may use in attainment demonstration SIPs for the new
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and PM2.5.
The inventory may also serve as part of statewide inventories for
purposes of regional modeling in transport areas. The inventory plays
an important role in modeling demonstrations for areas classified as
nonattainment and outside transport regions. In addition, 40 CFR
51.308(d)(4)(v) of EPA's Regional Haze Rule (RHR) requires the
establishment of a statewide emissions inventory of pollutants that are
reasonably anticipated to cause or contribute to visibility impairment
in any mandatory Class I area.
New Jersey has areas that are classified as nonattainment for the
2008 8-hour ozone standard. See 77 FR 30088 (May 21, 2012) for the
Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia area classified as Marginal ozone
nonattainment, and 81 FR 26697 (May 4, 2016) for the Northern New
Jersey-New York-Connecticut area classified as Moderate ozone
nonattainment. Therefore, an ozone emissions inventory is needed for
these areas for air quality program planning purposes. For Regional
Haze, New Jersey has a Class I area within its borders: Brigantine
Wilderness Area (Brigantine). Emissions from New Jersey's sources were
also found to impact visibility at several other Class I areas: Acadia
National Park and the Moosehorn Wilderness Area in Maine, the Great
Gulf Wilderness Area and Presidential Range/Dry River Wilderness Area
in New Hampshire, and the Lye Brook Wilderness Area in Vermont. See 76
FR 49711 (August 11, 2011). Therefore, an emissions inventory is needed
for the Regional Haze air quality planning program effort.
The pollutants inventoried by New Jersey include volatile organic
compounds (VOC), oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and CO summertime
daily and annual emissions for the ozone areas; and VOC,
NOX, PM2.5, particulate matter with an
aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 microns
(PM10), ammonia (NH3) and sulfur dioxide
(SO2) annual emissions for the PM2.5 and/or
Regional Haze areas. For the reasons stated above, ideally EPA would
therefore emphasize the importance and benefits of developing a
comprehensive, current, and accurate ozone and PM2.5/
Regional Haze emissions inventory (similar to the 1990 base year
inventory effort). In this case, the 2011 calendar year has been
selected as the inventory that will be used for planning purposes for
ozone and PM2.5/Regional Haze areas.
II. What are the criteria for approving the Periodic Inventory?
On June 11, 2015, New Jersey submitted the 2011 ozone emissions
inventory for the Northern New Jersey-New York-Connecticut and Southern
New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone nonattainment areas and the 2011
emissions inventory for the PM2.5/Regional Haze areas and
requested that EPA approve the emissions inventory SIP revision. This
section describes EPA's rationale for proposing to approve the
emissions inventory SIP revision. A more detailed discussion of the
EPA's review and proposed action is found in the technical support
document (TSD) available in the Docket for this action, and by
contacting the individuals in the For Further Information Contact
section.
There are specific components of an acceptable emission inventory.
The emission inventory must meet certain minimum requirements for
reporting each source category. Specifically, the source requirements
are detailed below.
The review process, which is described in the accompanying TSD, is
used to determine that all components of the base year inventory are
present. This review also evaluates the level of supporting
documentation provided by the state, assesses whether the emissions
were developed according to current EPA guidance, and evaluates the
quality of the data.
The review process is outlined here and consists of eight elements
that the inventory must include. For an emissions inventory to be
acceptable, it
[[Page 17168]]
must pass all of the following acceptance criteria:
1. Evidence that the inventory was quality assured by the state and
its implementation documented;
2. The point source inventory was complete;
3. Point source emissions were prepared or calculated according to
the current EPA guidance;
4. The area source inventory was complete;
5. The area source emissions were prepared or calculated according
to the current EPA guidance;
6. Non-road mobile emissions were prepared according to the current
EPA guidance for all of the source categories;
7. The method (e.g., Highway Performance Monitoring System or a
network transportation planning model) used to develop vehicle miles
travelled (VMT) estimates follows the EPA guidance; and,
8. On-road mobile emissions were prepared according to the current
EPA guidance.
Based on the EPA's review, New Jersey satisfies all of the EPA's
requirements for purposes of providing a comprehensive, accurate, and
current inventory of actual emissions for the ozone nonattainment and
PM2.5/Regional Haze areas. A summary of the EPA's review is
given below:
1. The Quality Assurance (QA) plan was implemented for all portions
of the inventory. The QA plan included a QA/Quality control (QC)
program for assessing data completeness and standard range checking.
Critical data elements relative to the inventory sources were assessed
for completeness. QA checks were performed relative to data collection
and analysis, and double counting of emissions from point, area and
mobile sources. QA/QC checks were conducted to ensure accuracy of
units, unit conversions, transposition of figures, and calculations.
The inventory is well documented. New Jersey provided documentation
detailing the methods used to develop emissions estimates for each
category. In addition, New Jersey identified the sources of data used
in developing the inventory;
2. The point source emissions are complete and in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
3. The point source emissions were prepared/calculated in
accordance with the EPA guidance;
4. The area source emissions are complete and in accordance with
the EPA guidance;
5. Area source emissions were prepared/calculated in accordance
with the EPA guidance;
6. Emission estimates for the non-road mobile source categories are
correctly based on the latest non-road mobile model or other
appropriate guidance and prepared in accordance with the EPA guidance;
7. The method used to develop VMT estimates is in accordance with
the EPA guidance and was adequately described and documented in the
inventory report; and,
8. The latest Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator (MOVES) model was
used in accordance with the EPA's guidance.
New Jersey's 2011 ozone and PM2.5/Regional Haze emission
inventories have been developed in accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve the emission inventories. A more
detailed discussion of how the emission inventory was reviewed and the
results of the review are presented in the TSD. Detailed emission
inventory development procedures can be found in the following
document: Emission Inventory Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and
Particulate Matter NAAQS and Regional Haze Regulation, dated August
2005; Using MOVES to Prepare Emission Inventories in State
Implementation Plans and Transportation Conformity: Technical Guidance

Tables A-H below show the 2011 VOC, NOX and CO
summertime daily and annual emission inventories for the ozone
nonattainment areas. Tables F, G and I-L, show the VOC, NOX,
PM2.5, PM10, SO2, and NH3
annual emissions for the PM2.5/Regional Haze areas.

III. What action is the EPA proposing to take?
The New Jersey emission inventory SIP revision will ensure that the
requirements for emission inventory measures and reporting are
adequately met. To comply with the emission inventory requirements, New
Jersey submitted a complete inventory containing point, area, on-road,
and non-road mobile source data, and accompanying documentation. EPA is
proposing to approve the SIP revision submittal as meeting the
essential reporting requirements for emissions inventories. EPA has
also determined that the SIP revision meets the requirements for
emission inventories in accordance with EPA guidance.
Therefore, EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the New Jersey
SIP which pertains to the following: 2011 calendar year summer season
daily and annual ozone precursor emissions emission inventories for
VOC, NOX and CO for the Northern New Jersey-New York-
Connecticut and the Southern New Jersey-Philadelphia ozone
nonattainment areas. In addition, the EPA is proposing to approve the
2011 calendar year PM2.5/Regional Haze emissions inventory
that was developed statewide for New Jersey. The pollutants included in
the inventory are annual emissions for VOC, NOX,
PM2.5, PM10, NH3 and SO2.
Interested parties may participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure
by submitting written comments to the EPA Region 2 Office by the method
discussed in the ADDRESSES section of this action.
IV. 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 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 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);
[[Page 17174]]
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; and
Does not provide the 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 the EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive
Order 13175 does not apply to this action.
