Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations; Consistency Update for 
California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'').

ACTION: Final rule--consistency update.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the updates of the Outer Continental Shelf 
(``OCS'') Air Regulations proposed in the Federal Register on December 
1, 2005 and July 6, 2005. Requirements applying to OCS sources located 
within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries must be updated 
periodically to remain consistent with the requirements of the 
corresponding onshore area (``COA''), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) 
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (``the Act''). The portions of 
the OCS air regulations that are being updated pertain to the 
requirements for OCS sources for which the Santa Barbara County Air 
Pollution Control District, South Coast Air Quality Management 
District, State of California and Ventura County Air Pollution Control 
District are the designated COAs. The intended effect of approving the 
requirements contained in ``Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control 
District Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources'' (February, 2006), 
``South Coast Air Quality Management District Requirements Applicable 
to OCS Sources'' (Parts I, II and III) (February, 2006), ``State of 
California Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources'' (February, 2006), 
and ``Ventura County Air Pollution Control District Requirements 
Applicable to OCS Sources'' (February, 2006) is to regulate emissions 
from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements onshore.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on July 24, 2006.
    The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 
July 24, 2006.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number OAR-2006-0091 for this 
action. The index to the docket is available electronically at https://
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne 
Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the docket 
are listed in the index, some information may be publicly available 
only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), and some 
may not be publicly available in either location (e.g., CBI). To

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

[[Page 35805]]

I. Background

    Throughout this document, the terms ``we,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' 
refer to U.S. EPA.
    On July 6, 2005 (70 FR 38840), EPA proposed to approve requirements 
into the OCS Air Regulations pertaining to Santa Barbara County APCD 
and Ventura County APCD. On December 1, 2005 (70 FR 72094), EPA 
proposed to approve requirements into the OCS Air Regulations 
pertaining to South Coast AQMD and the State of California. These 
requirements are being promulgated in response to the submittal of 
rules from these California air pollution control agencies. EPA has 
evaluated the proposed requirements to ensure that they are rationally 
related to the attainment or maintenance of Federal or state ambient 
air quality standards or Part C of title I of the Act, that they are 
not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the 
OCS and that they are applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has 
also evaluated the rules to ensure that they are not arbitrary or 
capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded 
administrative or procedural rules.
    Section 328(a) of the Act requires that EPA establish requirements 
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of 
states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements. 
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable 
onshore rules into part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits EPA's 
flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated into 
part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to the 
requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating 
rules into part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state 
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the Act. 
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules 
or regulations into part 55, even though the same rules may ultimately 
be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS 
rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of the Act for 
SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be approved by EPA 
for inclusion in the SIP.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    EPA's proposed actions provided 30-day public comment periods. 
During these periods, we received no comments on the proposed actions. 
We received late comments to our December proposal from one party, the 
Western States Petroleum Association (WSPA), which submitted comments 
by letter dated January 31, 2006, over three weeks after the deadline. 
While EPA is not obligated to consider late comments, EPA has elected 
to do so in this instance. WSPA objects to the proposed promulgation of 
California's Airborne Toxic Control Measure for Stationary Compression 
Ignition Engines (``ATCM'') under 40 CFR part 55. Our responses to 
WSPA's specific comments are provided below.
    Comment: WSPA had the understanding that the California Air 
Resources Board (CARB) did not intend to submit the ATCM to EPA for 
promulgation under the OCS regulations at 40 CFR part 55.
    Response: We checked with CARB representatives who confirmed their 
intention to include the ATCM in the package of rules submitted to EPA 
for promulgation under 40 CFR part 55.
    Comment: WSPA contends that promulgation of the ATCM under 40 CFR 
part 55 is unnecessary because the ATCM was developed to protect public 
health of receptors near the vicinity of stationary diesel engines and 
no such receptors are located in the vicinities of the platforms in the 
OCS.
    Response: We recognize that the primary purpose of the ATCM is to 
reduce the general public's exposure to diesel particulate matter (PM) 
from stationary diesel-fueled engines and that exposure of the general 
public to emissions from engines located on OCS platforms is minimal. 
However, we understand that CARB accounted for this relative lack of 
impact on nearby receptor locations by providing an exemption from 
operating requirements and emission standards for stationary diesel-
fueled engines used solely on OCS platforms. See section 93115(c)(10) 
of title 17, California Code of Regulations. Also, we recognize, based 
on CARB's Staff Report: Initial Statement of Reasons for Proposed 
Rulemaking (September 2003), that the ATCM serves other regulatory and 
planning purposes as well, such as establishing a record of where 
stationary compression-ignition (CI) engines are located, what fuel 
they use, and how they are operated and requiring new and in-use 
stationary CI engines to meet specified fuel requirements. Thus, the 
relative lack of impact on nearby receptor locations does not make 
promulgation of the ATCM under 40 CFR part 55 unnecessary or 
inappropriate.
    Comment: WSPA contends that promulgation of the ATCM under 40 CFR 
part 55 is unnecessary because diesel engines operated on OCS platforms 
are exempt from the emissions control requirements of the ATCM.
    Response: WSPA is correct that the ATCM exempts stationary diesel-
fueled engines used solely on OCS platforms from operating requirements 
and emission standards (see section 93115(c)(10) of title 17, 
California Code of Regulations). However, such engines are not exempt 
from the fuels requirements of the ATCM nor are they exempt from the 
recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring requirements of the rule. Such 
requirements further legitimate air quality regulatory and planning 
purposes and thus the exemption for OCS sources from operating 
requirements and emission standards does not make promulgation of the 
ATCM under 40 CFR part 55 unnecessary or inappropriate.
    Comment: WSPA contends that promulgation of the ATCM under 40 CFR 
part 55 is unnecessary because the ATCM would establish requirements 
related to fuel specifications and usage, engine operations, and 
administrative recordkeeping and monitoring that have already been 
addressed in local air district rules or under federally enforceable 
permit conditions.
    Response: We may reasonably presume based on the fact that CARB 
submitted the ATCM to EPA for promulgation under 40 CFR part 55 that 
the ATCM is not entirely duplicative of local air district rules or 
federally-enforceable permit conditions. Even if all OCS sources 
currently voluntarily comply with the ATCM fuel and recordkeeping 
requirements (which WSPA has not demonstrated), it would still be 
reasonable to assure compliance continues by incorporating the 
requirements into part 55.
    Comment: WSPA contends that, depending upon how Santa Barbara 
County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD) implements the ATCM, 
promulgation of the ATCM under 40 CFR part 55 could preclude the 
ability of companies to conduct normal business projects by imposing 
permit and offset requirements on engines that are used for drilling 
operations in the OCS and that are currently exempt from such 
requirements.
    Response: Today's action, i.e., promulgation of the ATCM under 40 
CFR part 55, does not result in any changes to permit exemptions or 
offset requirements as they relate to OCS sources. If SBCAPCD decides 
to modify the local rules and regulations so as to extend permitting 
and offset applicability to engines used in off-shore drilling 
operations that are currently exempt, the modifications in the rules 
will not apply to OCS sources

[[Page 35806]]

until the rules are submitted and approved by EPA in a future part 55 
rulemaking. The mere hypothetical possibility of purported adverse 
consequences for future off-shore drilling operations in the OCS in the 
wake of one possible regulatory response by SBCAPCD provides us with no 
basis upon which to decline to promulgate the ATCM under 40 CFR part 
55.

III. EPA Action

    In this document, EPA takes final action to incorporate the 
proposed changes into 40 CFR part 55. No changes were made to the 
proposed actions. EPA is approving the proposed actions under section 
328(a)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7627. Section 328(a) of the Act 
requires that EPA establish requirements to control air pollution from 
OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that 
are the same as onshore requirements. To comply with this statutory 
mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into part 55 as 
they exist onshore.

IV. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review.''

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.).

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency certifies 
that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small 
businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental 
jurisdictions.
    As was stated in the final OCS regulation, the OCS rule does not 
apply to any small entities, and the structure of the rule averts 
direct impacts and mitigates indirect impacts on small entities. This 
consistency update merely incorporates onshore requirements into the 
OCS rule to maintain consistency with onshore regulations as required 
by section 328 of the Act and does not alter the structure of the rule.
    The EPA certifies that this notice of final rulemaking will not 
have a significant impact on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Under sections 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA 
must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or 
final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated 
costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to 
the private sector, of $100 million or more. Under section 205, EPA 
must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative 
that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with 
statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan 
for informing and advising any small governments that may be 
significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does not 
include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the 
aggregate, or to the private sector. Accordingly, no additional costs 
to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, 
result from this action.

E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) revokes and replaces 
Executive Orders 12612 (Federalism) and 12875 (Enhancing the 
Intergovernmental Partnership). Executive Order 13132 requires EPA to 
develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input 
by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies 
that have federalism implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism 
implications'' is defined in the Executive Order to include regulations 
that have ``substantial direct effects on the States, on the 
relationship between the national government and the States, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government.'' Under Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a 
regulation that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial 
direct compliance costs, and that is not required by statute, unless 
the Federal government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct 
compliance costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA 
consults with State and local officials early in the process of 
developing the proposed regulation. EPA also may not issue a regulation 
that has federalism implications and that preempts State law unless the 
Agency consults with State and local officials early in the process of 
developing the proposed regulation.
    This rule will not have substantial direct effects on the States, 
on the relationship between the national government and the States, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various 
levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132, because it 
merely approves a state rule implementing a state or federal standard, 
and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and 
responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. Thus, the 
requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do not apply to this 
rule.

F. Executive Order 13175, Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination 
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful 
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory 
policies that have tribal implications.'' This final rule does not have 
tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. It will not 
have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, on the 
relationship between the Federal government and Indian tribes, or on 
the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
government and Indian tribes. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 
apply to this rule.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    Protection of Children From Environmental Health Risks and Safety 
Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies to any rule that: (1) Is 
determined to be ``economically significant'' as defined under 
Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health or 
safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may have a disproportionate 
effect on children. If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the 
Agency must evaluate the environmental health or safety effects of the 
planned rule on children, and explain why the planned regulation is 
preferable to other potentially effective and reasonably feasible 
alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does 
not involve

[[Page 35807]]

decisions intended to mitigate environmental health or safety risks.

H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions 
Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a 
significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12 of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act 
(NTTAA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to evaluate existing 
technical standards when developing a new regulation. To comply with 
NTTAA, EPA must consider and use ``voluntary consensus standards'' 
(VCS) if available and applicable when developing programs and policies 
unless doing so would be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise 
impractical.
    The EPA believes that VCS are inapplicable to this action. Today's 
action does not require the public to perform activities conducive to 
the use of VCS.

J. Congressional Review Act

    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 rule 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). This action will be effective July 24, 2006.

K. Petitions for Judicial Review

    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 August 21, 2006. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final action 
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of 
judicial review nor does it extend the time 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).)
