ACTION: Final rule. rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Arkansas State Implementation Plan (SIP) that include changes made to Arkansas regulations entitled, ‘‘Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution Control’’ and ‘‘Nonattainment New Source Review Requirements.’’ The revisions amend the State’s permitting rules in order to address revisions to the Federal New Source Review (NSR) regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on December 31, 2002 and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7, 2003 (collectively, these two final actions are called the ‘‘2002 NSR Reform Rules’’). Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment NSR (NNSR) programs, together with the minor preconstruction permit program required by the Federal Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’), are commonly referred to as the ‘‘NSR programs.’’ Arkansas revised its preconstruction permitting rules that affect major sources and major modifications to include provisions for baseline emissions calculations, an actual-toprojected-actual methodology for calculating emissions changes, options for plantwide applicability limits VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:18 Apr 11, 2007 Jkt 211001 (PALs), and recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The revisions also include non-substantive revisions to previously SIP-approved regulations and new regulations for implementing the permitting provisions for the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard-Phase 2, Economic Development Zone in Crittenden County, and Stage I Vapor Recovery. Finally, EPA is taking no action on provisions that relate to designated facilities. We are approving the revisions because we find the changes consistent with EPA’s implementing regulations, guidance, and policy and with section 110(l) of the Act. DATES: This final rule is effective on May 14, 2007. ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA–R06–OAR–2005–AR–0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document any reference to ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ shall mean the EPA. Outline I. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? II. What Is the Background for This Action? III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. What Action Is EPA Taking? EPA is taking final action to approve revisions to the Arkansas SIP that were submitted on February 3, 2005, and July 3, 2006, by the Governor of Arkansas. The 2005 submittal consists of revisions to ‘‘Regulation No. 19—Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution Control.’’ The 2006 submittal consists of further revisions to ‘‘Regulation No. 19—Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation for Air Pollution Control’’ and a new ‘‘Regulation No. 31—Nonattainment New Source Review Requirements.’’ The revisions were made to update the Arkansas NSR programs to make them consistent with changes to the Federal NSR regulations published on December 31, 2002 (67 FR 80186) and November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63021). These two EPA rulemakings are commonly referred to as the ‘‘2002 NSR Reform Rules.’’ These SIP revisions also add provisions for implementing the air permitting requirements for the 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standard-phase 2 (promulgated November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71611)), Economic Development Zone rules that implement section 173(a)(1)(B) of the Act, and provisions for Stage I Vapor Recovery. In addition, Arkansas revised Regulation No. 19 to make the following non-substantive changes (which do not change the regulatory requirements): redesignated the subdivisions from ‘‘Section’’ to ‘‘Reg.’’; changed references to ‘‘Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology’’ to ‘‘Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality’’; corrected typographical errors and grammar; and improved readability and clarity. EPA is taking no action on Chapter 8 of Regulation No. 19 ‘‘111(d) Designated Facilities.’’ On December 1, 2006 (71 FR 69519), EPA published a proposed rulemaking in which we proposed to approve these SIP revisions. The December 1, 2006, proposal provides detailed information about the Arkansas SIP revisions that are being approved today. The proposal also provides a detailed analysis of EPA’s rationale for approving the E:\FR\FM\12APR1.SGM 12APR1 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations rmajette on PROD1PC67 with RULES Arkansas SIP revisions. In the proposal, we provided opportunity for public comment on the proposed action. The public comment period for this proposed rulemaking ended January 2, 2007. We received no comments, adverse or otherwise, on the proposed rulemaking. We are therefore finalizing our proposed approval without changes. For more details on these submittals, please refer to the proposed rulemaking described above and the Technical Support Document (TSD), which is in the docket for this action. In summary, EPA is approving revisions to the Arkansas SIP (revisions to Regulation No. 19 and new Regulation No. 31) submitted by the State of Arkansas on February 3, 2005 and July 3, 2006. We are taking no action on Chapter 8 of Regulation No. 19. II. What Is the Background for This Action? On December 31, 2002, EPA published final rule changes to 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 51 and 52, regarding the Act’s PSD and NNSR programs. See 67 FR 80186. On November 7, 2003, EPA published a final action on the reconsideration of the December 31, 2002 final rule changes. See 68 FR 63021. In the November 7th final action, EPA added the definition of ‘‘replacement unit,’’ and clarified an issue regarding PALs. The December 31, 2002, and the November 7, 2003, final actions are collectively referred to as the ‘‘2002 NSR Reform Rules.’’ The purpose of today’s action is to approve the SIP submittals from the State of Arkansas, which adopts EPA’s 2002 NSR Reform Rules. For additional information on the 2002 NSR Reform Rules, see 67 FR 80186 (December 31, 2002), and https:// www.epa.gov/nsr. After the 2002 NSR Reform Rules were finalized and effective (March 3, 2003), various petitioners challenged numerous aspects of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules, along with portions of EPA’s 1980 NSR Rules (45 FR 5276, August 7, 1980). On June 24, 2005, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a decision on the challenges to the 2002 NSR Reform Rules. See New York v. United States, 413 F.3d 3 (D.C. Cir. June 24, 2005), rehearing en banc denied (Dec 09, 2005). In summary, the Court vacated portions of the rules pertaining to Clean Units and Pollution Control Projects, remanded a portion of the rules regarding recordkeeping, e.g., 40 CFR 51.165(a)(6) and 40 CFR 51.166(r)(6), and either upheld or did not comment on the other provisions included as part of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules. The EPA VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:18 Apr 11, 2007 Jkt 211001 has not yet responded to the Court’s remand regarding the recordkeeping provisions. Today’s action is consistent with the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals because Arkansas’ submittal does not include any portions of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules that were vacated as part of the June 2005 decision. The 2002 NSR Reform Rules require that state agencies adopt and submit revisions to their SIP permitting programs implementing the minimum program elements of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules no later than January 2, 2006. See 40 CFR 51.166(a)(6)(i) (requiring state agencies to adopt and submit PSD SIP revisions within three years after new amendments are published in the Federal Register). State agencies may meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 51 and the 2002 NSR Reform Rules, with regulations that are different than, but equivalent to, Federal regulations. If, however, a state decides not to implement any of the new applicability provisions, that state must demonstrate that its existing program is at least as stringent as the Federal program. In adopting changes to Federal law, a state may write the Federal requirements into the state SIP or the state may incorporate the Federal rule into the SIP by referencing the citation of the Federal rule. As discussed in further detail in the proposed approval notice and in the TSD in the docket for this action, EPA determined the revisions contained in the Arkansas submittal are approvable for inclusion into the Arkansas SIP. The TSD includes a detailed evaluation of the Arkansas NSR SIP revisions, permitting provisions for implementing the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQs and the Crittenden County Economic Development Zone, Stage I Vapor Recovery rules, and nonsubstantive revisions to previously SIPapproved regulations. The TSD discusses how these regulations meet the applicable Federal requirements. We are approving the revisions because we find the changes consistent with EPA’s implementing regulations, guidance, and policy and with section 110(l) of the Act. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this reason, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 18395 22, 2001). This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this 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.). Because this rule approves 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 (Public Law 104–4). This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on: one or more Indian tribes, the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or 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). This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the States, the relationship between the national government and the States, or 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 approves 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. The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045, ‘‘Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or safety risks such that the analysis required under section 5–501 of the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it would approve a state program. Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (February 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy on environmental justice. Because this rule merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal standard, EPA lacks the discretionary authority to modify today’s regulatory decision on the basis of environmental justice considerations. In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the E:\FR\FM\12APR1.SGM 12APR1 18396 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Rules and Regulations absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. 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.). 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). 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 June 11, 2007. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2005-AR-0001; FRL-8297-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Arkansas; Prevention of Significant Deterioration and New Source 
Review; Economic Development Zone for Crittenden County, AR; and Stage 
I Vapor Recovery

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Arkansas State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) that include changes made to Arkansas 
regulations entitled, ``Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of 
Implementation for Air Pollution Control'' and ``Nonattainment New 
Source Review Requirements.'' The revisions amend the State's 
permitting rules in order to address revisions to the Federal New 
Source Review (NSR) regulations, which were promulgated by EPA on 
December 31, 2002 and reconsidered with minor changes on November 7, 
2003 (collectively, these two final actions are called the ``2002 NSR 
Reform Rules''). Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and 
Nonattainment NSR (NNSR) programs, together with the minor 
preconstruction permit program required by the Federal Clean Air Act 
(``Act''), are commonly referred to as the ``NSR programs.'' Arkansas 
revised its preconstruction permitting rules that affect major sources 
and major modifications to include provisions for baseline emissions 
calculations, an actual-to-projected-actual methodology for calculating 
emissions changes, options for plantwide applicability limits (PALs), 
and recordkeeping and reporting requirements. The revisions also 
include non-substantive revisions to previously SIP-approved 
regulations and new regulations for implementing the permitting 
provisions for the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard-
Phase 2, Economic Development Zone in Crittenden County, and Stage I 
Vapor Recovery. Finally, EPA is taking no action on provisions that 
relate to designated facilities. We are approving the revisions because 
we find the changes consistent with EPA's implementing regulations, 
guidance, and policy and with section 110(l) of the Act.

DATES: This final rule is effective on May 14, 2007.

I. What Action Is EPA Taking?

    EPA is taking final action to approve revisions to the Arkansas SIP 
that were submitted on February 3, 2005, and July 3, 2006, by the 
Governor of Arkansas. The 2005 submittal consists of revisions to 
``Regulation No. 19--Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of Implementation 
for Air Pollution Control.'' The 2006 submittal consists of further 
revisions to ``Regulation No. 19--Regulations of the Arkansas Plan of 
Implementation for Air Pollution Control'' and a new ``Regulation No. 
31--Nonattainment New Source Review Requirements.'' The revisions were 
made to update the Arkansas NSR programs to make them consistent with 
changes to the Federal NSR regulations published on December 31, 2002 
(67 FR 80186) and November 7, 2003 (68 FR 63021). These two EPA 
rulemakings are commonly referred to as the ``2002 NSR Reform Rules.''
    These SIP revisions also add provisions for implementing the air 
permitting requirements for the 8-hour ozone national ambient air 
quality standard-phase 2 (promulgated November 29, 2005 (70 FR 71611)), 
Economic Development Zone rules that implement section 173(a)(1)(B) of 
the Act, and provisions for Stage I Vapor Recovery. In addition, 
Arkansas revised Regulation No. 19 to make the following non-
substantive changes (which do not change the regulatory requirements): 
redesignated the subdivisions from ``Section'' to ``Reg.''; changed 
references to ``Arkansas Department of Pollution Control and Ecology'' 
to ``Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality''; corrected 
typographical errors and grammar; and improved readability and clarity. 
EPA is taking no action on Chapter 8 of Regulation No. 19 ``111(d) 
Designated Facilities.''
    On December 1, 2006 (71 FR 69519), EPA published a proposed 
rulemaking in which we proposed to approve these SIP revisions. The 
December 1, 2006, proposal provides detailed information about the 
Arkansas SIP revisions that are being approved today. The proposal also 
provides a detailed analysis of EPA's rationale for approving the

[[Page 18395]]

Arkansas SIP revisions. In the proposal, we provided opportunity for 
public comment on the proposed action. The public comment period for 
this proposed rulemaking ended January 2, 2007. We received no 
comments, adverse or otherwise, on the proposed rulemaking. We are 
therefore finalizing our proposed approval without changes. For more 
details on these submittals, please refer to the proposed rulemaking 
described above and the Technical Support Document (TSD), which is in 
the docket for this action.
    In summary, EPA is approving revisions to the Arkansas SIP 
(revisions to Regulation No. 19 and new Regulation No. 31) submitted by 
the State of Arkansas on February 3, 2005 and July 3, 2006. We are 
taking no action on Chapter 8 of Regulation No. 19.

II. What Is the Background for This Action?

    On December 31, 2002, EPA published final rule changes to 40 Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) parts 51 and 52, regarding the Act's PSD 
and NNSR programs. See 67 FR 80186. On November 7, 2003, EPA published 
a final action on the reconsideration of the December 31, 2002 final 
rule changes. See 68 FR 63021. In the November 7th final action, EPA 
added the definition of ``replacement unit,'' and clarified an issue 
regarding PALs. The December 31, 2002, and the November 7, 2003, final 
actions are collectively referred to as the ``2002 NSR Reform Rules.'' 
The purpose of today's action is to approve the SIP submittals from the 
State of Arkansas, which adopts EPA's 2002 NSR Reform Rules. For 
additional information on the 2002 NSR Reform Rules, see 67 FR 80186 
(December 31, 2002), and https://www.epa.gov/nsr.
    After the 2002 NSR Reform Rules were finalized and effective (March 
3, 2003), various petitioners challenged numerous aspects of the 2002 
NSR Reform Rules, along with portions of EPA's 1980 NSR Rules (45 FR 
5276, August 7, 1980). On June 24, 2005, the D.C. Circuit Court of 
Appeals issued a decision on the challenges to the 2002 NSR Reform 
Rules. See New York v. United States, 413 F.3d 3 (D.C. Cir. June 24, 
2005), rehearing en banc denied (Dec 09, 2005). In summary, the Court 
vacated portions of the rules pertaining to Clean Units and Pollution 
Control Projects, remanded a portion of the rules regarding 
recordkeeping, e.g., 40 CFR 51.165(a)(6) and 40 CFR 51.166(r)(6), and 
either upheld or did not comment on the other provisions included as 
part of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules. The EPA has not yet responded to the 
Court's remand regarding the recordkeeping provisions. Today's action 
is consistent with the decision of the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals 
because Arkansas' submittal does not include any portions of the 2002 
NSR Reform Rules that were vacated as part of the June 2005 decision.
    The 2002 NSR Reform Rules require that state agencies adopt and 
submit revisions to their SIP permitting programs implementing the 
minimum program elements of the 2002 NSR Reform Rules no later than 
January 2, 2006. See 40 CFR 51.166(a)(6)(i) (requiring state agencies 
to adopt and submit PSD SIP revisions within three years after new 
amendments are published in the Federal Register). State agencies may 
meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 51 and the 2002 NSR Reform Rules, 
with regulations that are different than, but equivalent to, Federal 
regulations. If, however, a state decides not to implement any of the 
new applicability provisions, that state must demonstrate that its 
existing program is at least as stringent as the Federal program. In 
adopting changes to Federal law, a state may write the Federal 
requirements into the state SIP or the state may incorporate the 
Federal rule into the SIP by referencing the citation of the Federal 
rule. As discussed in further detail in the proposed approval notice 
and in the TSD in the docket for this action, EPA determined the 
revisions contained in the Arkansas submittal are approvable for 
inclusion into the Arkansas SIP. The TSD includes a detailed evaluation 
of the Arkansas NSR SIP revisions, permitting provisions for 
implementing the 8-Hour Ozone NAAQs and the Crittenden County Economic 
Development Zone, Stage I Vapor Recovery rules, and non-substantive 
revisions to previously SIP-approved regulations. The TSD discusses how 
these regulations meet the applicable Federal requirements. We are 
approving the revisions because we find the changes consistent with 
EPA's implementing regulations, guidance, and policy and with section 
110(l) of the Act.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this 
reason, 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). This action 
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes 
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this 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.). Because 
this rule approves 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 (Public Law 104-4).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will 
not have a substantial direct effect on: one or more Indian tribes, the 
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or 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). This action also does not have Federalism 
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or 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 approves 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. The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045, ``Protection of 
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997), as applying only to those regulatory actions 
that concern health or safety risks such that the analysis required 
under section 5-501 of the Executive Order has the potential to 
influence the regulation. This rule is not subject to Executive Order 
13045 because it would approve a state program. Executive Order 12898 
(59 FR 7629 (February 16, 1994)) establishes federal executive policy 
on environmental justice. Because this rule merely approves a state 
rule implementing a Federal standard, EPA lacks the discretionary 
authority to modify today's regulatory decision on the basis of 
environmental justice considerations.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In 
this context, in the

[[Page 18396]]

absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use voluntary 
consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP 
submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with 
applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in 
place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of 
the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the 
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) do not apply. 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.).
    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).
    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 June 11, 2007. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule 
does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
