State Operating Permit Programs; Delaware; Amendments to the Definition of “a major source”, 70702-70703 [E6-20642]

Download as PDF 70702 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 6, 2006 / Proposed Rules Regulatory Flexibility Act This proposed action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this proposed rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Because this rule proposes to approve pre-existing requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it 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). Executive Order 13132 Federalism This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does 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 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely proposes to approve a state rule implementing a federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments PWALKER on PRODPC60 with PROPOSALS This proposed rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, 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, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). Executive Order 13045 Protection of Children From Environmental Health and Safety Risks 16:05 Dec 05, 2006 Jkt 211001 Because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 or a ‘‘significant regulatory action,’’ this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). National Technology Transfer Advancement Act Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (NTTAA), 15 U.S.C. 272, requires Federal agencies to use technical standards that are developed or adopted by voluntary consensus to carry out policy objectives, so long as such standards are not inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Absent a prior existing requirement for the state to use voluntary consensus standards, EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use such standards, and it would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in place of a program submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Therefore, the requirements of section 12(d) of the NTTA do not apply.

VerDate Aug<31>2005 Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use State Operating Permit Programs; Delaware; Amendments to the Definition of ‘‘a major source’’ Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). AGENCY: PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve an amendment to the State of Delaware’s operating permit program to correct the definition of ‘‘a major source.’’ This amendment would change the definition of ‘‘a major source’’ by removing the phrase ‘‘but only with respect to those air pollutants that have been regulated for that category’’ from the Regulation No. 30 (Title V) definition of a major source, as it applies to these Federal standards. This would require all fugitive emissions to be included in major source determination for sources subject to Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) or the National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants standards (NESHAPs), not just the pollutants regulated by the particular NSPS or NESHAP. This amendment is necessary to make the current definition as stringent as the corresponding provision of the Title V regulations, which went into effect on November 27, 2001. This change will make this aspect of Regulation No. 30 consistent with Federal rule. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State’s amendment to its operating permit program as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. DATES: Comments must be received in writing by January 5, 2007.

State Operating Permit Programs; Delaware; Amendments to the

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve an amendment to the State of 
Delaware's operating permit program to correct the definition of ``a 
major source.'' This amendment would change the definition of ``a major 
source'' by removing the phrase ``but only with respect to those air 
pollutants that have been regulated for that category'' from the 
Regulation No. 30 (Title V) definition of a major source, as it applies 
to these Federal standards. This would require all fugitive emissions 
to be included in major source determination for sources subject to 
Federal New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) or the National 
Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants standards (NESHAPs), 
not just the pollutants regulated by the particular NSPS or NESHAP.
