B. NDEP delegations
II. EPA Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
A. Delegation of NESHAP
Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act, as
amended in 1990 (CAA), authorizes
EPA to delegate to state or local air
pollution control agencies the authority
to implement and enforce the standards
set out in the Code of Federal
Regulations, Title 40 (40 CFR), part 63,
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories. On November 26, 1993, EPA
promulgated regulations, codified at 40
CFR part 63, Subpart E (hereinafter
referred to as ‘‘Subpart E’’), establishing
procedures for EPA’s approval of state
rules or programs under section 112(l)
(see 58 FR 62262). Subpart E was later
amended on September 14, 2000 (see 65
FR 55810).
Any request for approval under CAA
section 112(l) must meet the approval
criteria in 112(l)(5) and Subpart E. To
streamline the approval process for
future applications, a state or local
agency may submit a one-time
demonstration that it has adequate
authorities and resources to implement
and enforce any CAA section 112
standards. If such demonstration is
approved, then the state or local agency
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700

would no longer need to resubmit a
demonstration of these same authorities
and resources for every subsequent
request for delegation of CAA section
112 standards. However, EPA maintains
the authority to withdraw its approval if
the State does not adequately
implement or enforce an approved rule
or program.
B. NDEP Delegations
On May 27, 1998, EPA published a
direct final action delegating to the
Nevada Division of Environmental
Protection (NDEP) several NESHAP and
approving NDEP’s delegation
mechanism for future standards (see 63
FR 28906). That action explained the
procedure for EPA to grant delegations
to NDEP by letter, with periodic Federal
Register listings of standards that have
been delegated. On November 1, 2007,
NDEP requested delegation of the
following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR
part 63:
• Subpart IIII—NESHAP: Surface
Coating of Automobiles and Light-Duty
Trucks
• Subpart PPPP—NESHAP for
Surface Coating of Plastic Parts and
Products
• Subpart GGGGG—NESHAP: Site
Remediation
• Subpart HHHHH—NESHAP:
Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
• Subpart DDDDDD—NESHAP for
Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers
Production Area Sources
• Subpart EEEEEE—NESHAP for
Primary Copper Smelting Area Sources
• Subpart FFFFFF—NESHAP for
Secondary Copper Smelting Area
Sources
• Subpart GGGGGG—NESHAP for
Primary Nonferrous Metals Area
Sources—Zinc, Cadmium, and
Beryllium
On December 4, 2007, EPA granted
delegation to NDEP for these NESHAP,
along with any amendments to
previously-delegated NESHAP, as of
July 1, 2007. Today’s action is serving
to notify the public of the December 4,
2007, delegations and to codify these
delegations into the Code of Federal
Regulations.
II. EPA Action
Today’s document serves to notify the
public of the delegation of NESHAP to
NDEP on December 4, 2007. Today’s
action will codify these delegations into
the Code of Federal Regulations.
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
E:\FR\FM\03APR1.SGM
03APR1
18170
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 65 / Thursday, April 3, 2008 / Rules and Regulations
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 updates
the list of approved delegations in the
Code of Federal Regulations and
imposes no additional requirements.
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 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).
This 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). 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
updates the list of already-approved
delegations, and does not alter the
relationship or the distribution of power
and responsibilities established in the
CAA. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it approves a
state rule implementing a federal
standard.
In reviewing state delegation
submissions, our role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the
criteria of the CAA. In this context, in
the absence of a prior existing
requirement for the State to use
voluntary consensus standards (VCS),
EPA has no authority to disapprove
state submissions for failure to use VCS.
It would thus be inconsistent with
applicable law for EPA, when it reviews
a state submission, to use VCS in place
of a state submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the CAA.
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 2, 2008.
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)).

Virginia: Final Authorization of State
Hazardous Waste Management
Program Revision
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Immediate final rule.
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with RULES
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Virginia has applied to EPA
for Final authorization of the revisions
of its hazardous waste program under
the Resource Conservation and
Recovery Act (RCRA). EPA has
determined that these revisions satisfy
all requirements needed to qualify for
Final authorization, and is authorizing
the State’s revisions through this
immediate final action. EPA is
publishing this rule to authorize the
revisions without a prior proposal
because we believe this action is not
controversial and do not expect
comments that oppose it. Unless we
receive written comments that oppose
this authorization during the comment
period, the decision to authorize
Virginia’s changes to its hazardous
VerDate Aug<31>2005

waste program will take effect. If we
receive comments that oppose this
action, we will publish a document in
the Federal Register withdrawing this
rule before it takes effect and a separate
document in the proposed rules section
of this Federal Register will serve as a
proposal to authorize the changes.
DATES: This Final authorization will
become effective on June 2, 2008, unless
EPA receives adverse written comment
by May 5, 2008. If EPA receives such
comment, it will publish a timely
withdrawal of this immediate final rule
in the Federal Register and inform the
public that this authorization will not
take effect.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
A. Delegation of NESHAP
Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA),
authorizes EPA to delegate to state or local air pollution control
agencies the authority to implement and enforce the standards set out
in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 (40 CFR), part 63,
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories. On November 26, 1993, EPA promulgated regulations, codified
at 40 CFR part 63, Subpart E (hereinafter referred to as ``Subpart
E''), establishing procedures for EPA's approval of state rules or
programs under section 112(l) (see 58 FR 62262). Subpart E was later
amended on September 14, 2000 (see 65 FR 55810).
Any request for approval under CAA section 112(l) must meet the
approval criteria in 112(l)(5) and Subpart E. To streamline the
approval process for future applications, a state or local agency may
submit a one-time demonstration that it has adequate authorities and
resources to implement and enforce any CAA section 112 standards. If
such demonstration is approved, then the state or local agency would no
longer need to resubmit a demonstration of these same authorities and
resources for every subsequent request for delegation of CAA section
112 standards. However, EPA maintains the authority to withdraw its
approval if the State does not adequately implement or enforce an
approved rule or program.
B. NDEP Delegations
On May 27, 1998, EPA published a direct final action delegating to
the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) several NESHAP
and approving NDEP's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 63
FR 28906). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant
delegations to NDEP by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings
of standards that have been delegated. On November 1, 2007, NDEP
requested delegation of the following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR part
63:
Subpart IIII--NESHAP: Surface Coating of Automobiles and
Light-Duty Trucks
Subpart PPPP--NESHAP for Surface Coating of Plastic Parts
and Products
Subpart GGGGG--NESHAP: Site Remediation
Subpart HHHHH--NESHAP: Miscellaneous Coating Manufacturing
Subpart DDDDDD--NESHAP for Polyvinyl Chloride and
Copolymers Production Area Sources
Subpart EEEEEE--NESHAP for Primary Copper Smelting Area
Sources
Subpart FFFFFF--NESHAP for Secondary Copper Smelting Area
Sources
Subpart GGGGGG--NESHAP for Primary Nonferrous Metals Area
Sources--Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium
On December 4, 2007, EPA granted delegation to NDEP for these
NESHAP, along with any amendments to previously-delegated NESHAP, as of
July 1, 2007. Today's action is serving to notify the public of the
December 4, 2007, delegations and to codify these delegations into the
Code of Federal Regulations.
II. EPA Action
Today's document serves to notify the public of the delegation of
NESHAP to NDEP on December 4, 2007. Today's action will codify these
delegations into the Code of Federal Regulations.
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
[[Page 18170]]
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 updates the list of approved delegations in the Code of
Federal Regulations and imposes no additional requirements.
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 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).
This 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). 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 updates the list of
already-approved delegations, and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the CAA.
This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of
Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997), because it approves a state rule implementing a
federal standard.
In reviewing state delegation submissions, our role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. In this
context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State
to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to
disapprove state submissions for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a state
submission, to use VCS in place of a state submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the CAA. 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 2, 2008. 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)).

relations, Reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Authority: This action is issued under the authority of Section
