Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 172 / Thursday, September 4, 2008 / Proposed Rules
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 proposed 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);
• 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 CAA; and
• Does not provide 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 EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.

Outer Continental Shelf Air
Regulations Consistency Update for
Florida
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule-consistency
update.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to update a
portion of the Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Air Regulations. 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 (‘‘CAA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’).
The portion of the OCS air regulations
that is being updated pertains to the
requirements for OCS sources for which
the State of Florida will be the
designated COA. The effect of approving
the OCS requirements for the State of
Florida is to regulate emissions from
OCS sources in accordance with the
requirements onshore. The change to
the existing requirements discussed
below is proposed to be incorporated by
reference into the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and is listed in the
appendix to the OCS air regulations.
This proposed action is an annual
update of the Florida’s OCS Air
Regulations. These rules include
revisions to existing rules that already
apply to OCS sources.

I. Background and Purpose
II. EPA’s Evaluation
III. Proposed Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On September 4, 1992, EPA
promulgated 40 CFR part 55,1 which
established requirements to control air
pollution from OCS sources in order to
attain and maintain federal and state
ambient air quality standards and to
comply with the provisions of part C of
title I of the Act. Part 55 applies to all
OCS sources offshore of the states
except those located in the Gulf of
Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude.
Section 328 of the Act requires that for
such sources located within 25 miles of
a state’s seaward boundary, the
requirements shall be the same as would
be applicable if the sources were located
in the COA. Because the OCS
requirements are based on onshore
requirements, and onshore requirements
may change, section 328(a)(1) of the Act
requires that EPA update the OCS
requirements as necessary to maintain
consistency with onshore requirements.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12 of the OCS
rule, ‘‘consistency reviews will occur at
least annually. In addition, in
1 For further information see the Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, December 5, 1991 (56 FR
63774), and the preamble to the final rule
promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792).
VerDate Aug<31>2005
13:46 Sep 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
accordance with paragraphs (c) and (d)
of this section, consistency reviews will
occur upon receipt of an NOI (notice of
intent) and when a State or local agency
submits a rule to EPA to be considered
for incorporation by reference in this
part 55.’’ This proposed action is an
annual update of the Florida’s OCS Air
Regulations, which are incorporated by
reference into 40 CFR part 55, Appendix
A.
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
process is distinct from the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) process and
incorporation of a rule into part 55 as
part of the OCS consistency update
process does not ensure such a rule
would be appropriate for inclusion into
the SIP. EPA’s review of Florida’s rules
for OCS consistency update purposes is
described below.
51611
III. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing an annual update of
the Florida’s OCS Air Regulations.
These rules include revisions to existing
rules that already apply to OCS sources.
The rules that EPA is proposing to
incorporate are applicable provisions of
Chapter 62 of the Florida
Administrative Code, listed in detail at
the end of this document.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
II. EPA’s Evaluation
In updating 40 CFR part 55, Appendix
A, EPA reviewed Florida’s rules for
inclusion into part 55 to ensure that
they are (1) rationally related to the
attainment or maintenance of federal or
state ambient air quality standards and
part C of title I of the Act; (2) not
designed expressly to prevent
exploration and development of the
OCS; and (3) applicable to OCS sources.
40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated the
rules to ensure they are not arbitrary or
capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition,
EPA has excluded administrative or
procedural rules,2 and requirements that
regulate toxics which are not related to
the attainment and maintenance of
federal and state ambient air quality
standards.
EPA is soliciting public comments on
the proposal to update 40 CFR part 55,
Appendix A to include recent changes
to Florida’s onshore rules that affect
OCS sources. Any comments will be
considered before taking final action.
Interested parties may participate in the
Federal rulemaking procedure by
submitting comments to the EPA Region
4 Office listed in the ADDRESSES section
of this Federal Register.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735 (October 4, 1993)), the Agency
must determine whether the regulatory
action is ‘‘significant’’ and therefore
subject to Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) review and the
requirements of the Executive Order.
The Order defines ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ as one that is likely
to result in a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy, a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
state, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or
otherwise interfere with an action taken
or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary
impact of entitlements, grants, user fees,
or loan programs or the rights and
obligations of recipients thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues
arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in the Executive Order.
This action is not a ‘‘significant
regulatory action’’ under the terms of
Executive Order 12866 and is therefore
not subject to OMB Review. These rules
implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. These OCS rules already apply in
the COA, and EPA has no evidence to
suggest that these OCS rules have
created an adverse material effect. As
required by section 328 of the CAA, this
action simply updates the existing OCS
requirements to make them consistent
with rules in the COA.
2 Each COA which has been delegated the
authority to implement and enforce part 55, will
use its administrative and procedural rules as it
does with onshore sources. However, in those
instances where EPA has not delegated authority to
implement and enforce part 55, as in Florida, EPA
will use its own administrative and procedural
requirements to implement the substantive
requirements. See 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The OMB has approved the
information collection requirements
contained in 40 CFR part 55, and by
extension this update to the rules, under
the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.,

and has assigned OMB control number
2060–0249. Notice of OMB’s approval of
EPA Information Collection Request
(ICR) No. 1601.06 was published in the
Federal Register on March 1, 2006 (71
FR 10499). The approval expires
January 31, 2009. As EPA previously
indicated (70 FR 65897 (November 1,
2005)), the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for collection of
information under 40 CFR part 55 is
estimated to average 549 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
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.
These rules will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. These rules
implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. These OCS rules already apply in
the COA, and EPA has no evidence to
suggest that these OCS rules have had
a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. As
required by section 328 of the CAA, this
action simply updates the existing OCS
requirements to make them consistent
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
with rules in the COA. Therefore, this
action will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104–4, establishes requirements for
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their regulatory actions on state, local,
and tribal governments and the private
sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA,
EPA generally must prepare a written
statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules
with ‘‘Federal mandates’’ that may
result in expenditures to state, local,
and tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or to the private sector, of $100 million
or more in any one year.
Before promulgating an EPA rule for
which a written statement is needed,
section 205 of the UMRA generally
requires EPA to identify and consider a
reasonable number of regulatory
alternatives and adopt the least costly,
most cost-effective or least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objectives
of the rule. The provisions of section
205 do not apply when they are
inconsistent with applicable law.
Moreover, section 205 allows EPA to
adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least
burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final
rule an explanation why that alternative
was not adopted.
Before EPA establishes any regulatory
requirements that may significantly or
uniquely affect small governments,
including tribal governments, it must
have developed under section 203 of the
UMRA a small government agency plan.
The plan must provide for notifying
potentially affected small governments,
enabling officials of affected small
governments to have meaningful and
timely input in the development of EPA
regulatory proposals with significant
Federal intergovernmental mandates,
and informing, educating, and advising
small governments on compliance with
the regulatory requirements.
This document contains no Federal
mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for
state, local, or tribal governments or the
private sector that may result in
expenditures of $100 million or more
for state, local, or tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector in
any one year. This action would
implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. The OCS rules already apply in
PO 00000
Frm 00009
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
the COA, and EPA has no evidence to
suggest that applying them in the OCS
would result in expenditures to state,
local, and tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector, of
$100 million or more in any one year.
As required by section 328 of the CAA,
this action simply updates the existing
OCS requirements to make them
consistent with rules in the COA.
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled
‘‘Federalism’’ (64 FR 43255 (August 10,
1999)), 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.’’
This proposed rule does not have
federalism implications. It 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. These rules
implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. As required by section 328 of the
CAA, this rule simply updates the
existing OCS rules to make them
consistent with current COA
requirements. These rules do not amend
the existing provisions within 40 CFR
part 55 enabling delegation of OCS
regulations to a COA, and this rule does
not require the COA to implement the
OCS rules. Thus, Executive Order 13132
does not apply to this rule.
In the spirit of Executive Order 13132,
and consistent with EPA policy to
promote communications between EPA
and state and local governments, EPA
specifically solicits comments on this
proposed rule from state and local
officials.
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
E:\FR\FM\04SEP1.SGM
04SEP1
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 172 / Thursday, September 4, 2008 / Proposed Rules
regulatory policies that have tribal
implications.’’ This rule does 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
and thus does not have ‘‘tribal
implications,’’ within the meaning of
Executive Order 13175. This rule
implements requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. As required by section 328 of the
CAA, this rule simply updates the
existing OCS rules to make them
consistent with current COA
requirements. In addition, this rule does
not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on tribal governments,
nor preempt tribal law. Consultation
with Indian tribes is therefore not
required under Executive Order 13175.
Nonetheless, in the spirit of Executive
Order 13175 and consistent with EPA
policy to promote communications
between EPA and tribes, EPA
specifically solicits comments on this
proposed rule from tribal officials.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045: ‘‘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 proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it is not
economically significant as defined in
Executive Order 12866. In addition, the
Agency does not have reason to believe
the environmental health or safety risks
addressed by this action present a
disproportional risk to children.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use
This proposed rule is not subject to
Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions
Concerning Regulations That
VerDate Aug<31>2005
13:46 Sep 03, 2008
Jkt 214001
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(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104–
113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note)
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in its regulatory activities
unless to do so would be inconsistent
with applicable laws or otherwise
impractical. Voluntary consensus
standards are technical standards (e.g.,
materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted
by voluntary consensus standards
bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to
provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when the Agency decided
not to use available and applicable
voluntary consensus standards.
As discussed above, these rules
implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress
in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by
EPA. As required by section 328 of the
CAA, this rule simply updates the
existing OCS rules to make them
consistent with current COA
requirements. In the absence of a prior
existing requirement for the state to use
voluntary consensus standards and in
light of the fact that EPA is required to
make the OCS rules consistent with
current COA requirements, it would be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in this action. Therefore, EPA
is not considering the use of any
voluntary consensus standards. EPA
welcomes comments on this aspect of
the proposed rulemaking and,
specifically, invites the public to
identify potentially applicable voluntary
consensus standards and to explain why
such standards should be used in this
regulation.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629
(February 16, 1994)) establishes federal
executive policy on environmental
justice. Its main provision directs
federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
51613
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations and low-income
populations in the United States. EPA
lacks the discretionary authority to
address environmental justice in this
proposed action. This rule implements
requirements specifically and explicitly
set forth by the Congress in section 328
of the CAA, without the exercise of any
policy discretion by EPA. As required
by section 328 of the CAA, this rule
simply updates the existing OCS rules
to make them consistent with current
COA requirements.
Although EPA lacks authority to
modify today’s regulatory decision on
the basis of environmental justice
considerations, EPA nevertheless
explored this issue and found the
following. This action, namely,
updating the OCS rules to make them
consistent with current COA
requirements, will not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority or low-income populations
because it increases the level of
environmental protection for all affected
populations without having any
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on any population, including any
minority or low-income population.
Environmental justice considerations
may be appropriate to consider in the
context of a specific OCS permit
application.

ACTION: Notice of 90–day petition
finding; request for information.
AGENCY:
We (NMFS) announce a 90–
day finding on a petition to list three ice
seal species, [ringed (Phoca hispida),
bearded (Erignathus barbatus), and
spotted (Phoca largha)] as threatened or
endangered under the Endangered
Species Act (ESA). Although the
petition identifies ringed seals as Pusa
hispida, at this time we believe that the
ringed seal is more properly identified
as Phoca hispida. We find that the
petition presents substantial scientific
or commercial information indicating
that the petitioned action of listing the
ice seals may be warranted. Therefore,
we have initiated status reviews of the
ice seals to determine if listing under
the ESA is warranted. To ensure these
status reviews are comprehensive, we
are soliciting scientific and commercial
information regarding all of these ice
seal species.
DATES: Information and comments must
be submitted to NMFS by November 3,
2008.
ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Consistency Update for
Florida
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule-consistency update.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to update a portion of the Outer Continental
Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations. 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 (``CAA'' or ``the Act''). The portion of the OCS air
regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS
sources for which the State of Florida will be the designated COA. The
effect of approving the OCS requirements for the State of Florida is to
regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements
onshore. The change to the existing requirements discussed below is
proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) and is listed in the appendix to the OCS air
regulations. This proposed action is an annual update of the Florida's
OCS Air Regulations. These rules include revisions to existing rules
that already apply to OCS sources.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 6, 2008.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R04-

I. Background and Purpose
II. EPA's Evaluation
III. Proposed Action
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which
established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in
order to attain and maintain federal and state ambient air quality
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the
Act. Part 55 applies to all OCS sources offshore of the states except
those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude.
Section 328 of the Act requires that for such sources located within 25
miles of a state's seaward boundary, the requirements shall be the same
as would be applicable if the sources were located in the COA. Because
the OCS requirements are based on onshore requirements, and onshore
requirements may change, section 328(a)(1) of the Act requires that EPA
update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain consistency with
onshore requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ For further information see the Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking, December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63774), and the preamble to the
final rule promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12 of the OCS rule, ``consistency reviews
will occur at least annually. In addition, in accordance with
paragraphs (c) and (d) of this section, consistency reviews will occur
upon receipt of an NOI (notice of intent) and when a State or local
agency submits a rule to EPA to be considered for incorporation by
reference in this part 55.'' This proposed action is an annual update
of the Florida's OCS Air Regulations, which are incorporated by
reference into 40 CFR part 55, Appendix A.
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 process is
distinct from the State Implementation Plan (SIP) process and
incorporation of a rule into part 55 as part of the OCS consistency
update process does not ensure such a rule would be appropriate for
inclusion into the SIP. EPA's review of Florida's rules for OCS
consistency update purposes is described below.
II. EPA's Evaluation
In updating 40 CFR part 55, Appendix A, EPA reviewed Florida's
rules for inclusion into part 55 to ensure that they are (1) rationally
related to the attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient
air quality standards and part C of title I of the Act; (2) not
designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the OCS;
and (3) applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated
the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR
55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded administrative or procedural
rules,\2\ and requirements that regulate toxics which are not related
to the attainment and maintenance of federal and state ambient air
quality standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Each COA which has been delegated the authority to implement
and enforce part 55, will use its administrative and procedural
rules as it does with onshore sources. However, in those instances
where EPA has not delegated authority to implement and enforce part
55, as in Florida, EPA will use its own administrative and
procedural requirements to implement the substantive requirements.
See 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA is soliciting public comments on the proposal to update 40 CFR
part 55, Appendix A to include recent changes to Florida's onshore
rules that affect OCS sources. Any comments will be considered before
taking final action. Interested parties may participate in the Federal
rulemaking procedure by submitting comments to the EPA Region 4 Office
listed in the ADDRESSES section of this Federal Register.
III. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing an annual update of the Florida's OCS Air
Regulations. These rules include revisions to existing rules that
already apply to OCS sources. The rules that EPA is proposing to
incorporate are applicable provisions of Chapter 62 of the Florida
Administrative Code, listed in detail at the end of this document.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)), the
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant''
and therefore subject to Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review
and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a
rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public
health or safety, or state, local, or tribal governments or
communities;
(2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an
action taken or planned by another agency;
(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants,
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or
(4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in
the Executive Order.
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 and is therefore not subject to OMB
Review. These rules implement requirements specifically and explicitly
set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the CAA, without the
exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already apply
in the COA, and EPA has no evidence to suggest that these OCS rules
have created an adverse material effect. As required by section 328 of
the CAA, this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements to
make them consistent with rules in the COA.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
The OMB has approved the information collection requirements
contained in 40 CFR part 55, and by extension this update to the rules,
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et
seq.,
[[Page 51612]]
and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0249. Notice of OMB's approval
of EPA Information Collection Request (ICR) No. 1601.06 was published
in the Federal Register on March 1, 2006 (71 FR 10499). The approval
expires January 31, 2009. As EPA previously indicated (70 FR 65897
(November 1, 2005)), the annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for collection of information under 40 CFR part 55 is estimated
to average 549 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort,
or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain,
retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
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.
These rules will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. These rules implement
requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in
section 328 of the CAA, without the exercise of any policy discretion
by EPA. These OCS rules already apply in the COA, and EPA has no
evidence to suggest that these OCS rules have had a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As required
by section 328 of the CAA, this action simply updates the existing OCS
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA. Therefore,
this action will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), Public
Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to assess the
effects of their regulatory actions on state, local, and tribal
governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the UMRA, EPA
generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-benefit
analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal mandates'' that
may result in expenditures to state, local, and tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any
one year.
Before promulgating an EPA rule for which a written statement is
needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally requires EPA to identify and
consider a reasonable number of regulatory alternatives and adopt the
least costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative that
achieves the objectives of the rule. The provisions of section 205 do
not apply when they are inconsistent with applicable law. Moreover,
section 205 allows EPA to adopt an alternative other than the least
costly, most cost-effective or least burdensome alternative if the
Administrator publishes with the final rule an explanation why that
alternative was not adopted.
Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including tribal
governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a
small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying
potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of affected
small governments to have meaningful and timely input in the
development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements.
This document contains no Federal mandates (under the regulatory
provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for state, local, or tribal
governments or the private sector that may result in expenditures of
$100 million or more for state, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector in any one year. This action would
implement requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the
Congress in section 328 of the CAA without the exercise of any policy
discretion by EPA. The OCS rules already apply in the COA, and EPA has
no evidence to suggest that applying them in the OCS would result in
expenditures to state, local, and tribal governments, in the aggregate,
or to the private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. As
required by section 328 of the CAA, this action simply updates the
existing OCS requirements to make them consistent with rules in the
COA.
E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism
Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255 (August
10, 1999)), 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.''
This proposed rule does not have federalism implications. It 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. These rules implement
requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in
section 328 of the CAA, without the exercise of any policy discretion
by EPA. As required by section 328 of the CAA, this rule simply updates
the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA
requirements. These rules do not amend the existing provisions within
40 CFR part 55 enabling delegation of OCS regulations to a COA, and
this rule does not require the COA to implement the OCS rules. Thus,
Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and consistent with EPA
policy to promote communications between EPA and state and local
governments, EPA specifically solicits comments on this proposed rule
from state and local officials.
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
[[Page 51613]]
regulatory policies that have tribal implications.'' This rule does 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 and thus does not have ``tribal
implications,'' within the meaning of Executive Order 13175. This rule
implements requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the
Congress in section 328 of the CAA, without the exercise of any policy
discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the CAA, this rule
simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with
current COA requirements. In addition, this rule does not impose
substantial direct compliance costs on tribal governments, nor preempt
tribal law. Consultation with Indian tribes is therefore not required
under Executive Order 13175. Nonetheless, in the spirit of Executive
Order 13175 and consistent with EPA policy to promote communications
between EPA and tribes, EPA specifically solicits comments on this
proposed rule from tribal officials.
G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
Executive Order 13045: ``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 proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because
it is not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866.
In addition, the Agency does not have reason to believe the
environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action present a
disproportional risk to children.
H. Executive Order 13211, Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use
This proposed 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(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (NTTAA), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272
note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable laws or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA
to provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decided
not to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
As discussed above, these rules implement requirements specifically
and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the CAA,
without the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. As required by
section 328 of the CAA, this rule simply updates the existing OCS rules
to make them consistent with current COA requirements. In the absence
of a prior existing requirement for the state to use voluntary
consensus standards and in light of the fact that EPA is required to
make the OCS rules consistent with current COA requirements, it would
be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards in this action. Therefore, EPA is not considering the use of
any voluntary consensus standards. EPA welcomes comments on this aspect
of the proposed rulemaking and, specifically, invites the public to
identify potentially applicable voluntary consensus standards and to
explain why such standards should be used in this regulation.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (February 16, 1994)) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the United States. EPA lacks the discretionary authority
to address environmental justice in this proposed action. This rule
implements requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the
Congress in section 328 of the CAA, without the exercise of any policy
discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the CAA, this rule
simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with
current COA requirements.
Although EPA lacks authority to modify today's regulatory decision
on the basis of environmental justice considerations, EPA nevertheless
explored this issue and found the following. This action, namely,
updating the OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA
requirements, will not have disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations
because it increases the level of environmental protection for all
affected populations without having any disproportionately high and
adverse human health or environmental effects on any population,
including any minority or low-income population. Environmental justice
considerations may be appropriate to consider in the context of a
specific OCS permit application.
