Our proposed action contains more information on the rule and our evaluation. dwashington3 on PROD1PC60 with RULES II. Public Comments and EPA Responses EPA’s proposed action provided a 30day public comment period. During this period, we received comments from the following parties. 1. Charles Humphrey, Jr., Sempra Energy Utilities (SEU); letter dated August 29, 2008 and received August 29, 2008. 2. B. Sachau; e-mail message dated July 30, 2008 and received July 30, 2008. 3. U.S. Citizen (anonymous); web comment submitted July 31, 2008. The comments and our responses are summarized below. Comment #1: Rule 1110.2, subsection (f)(1)(G), requires that portable analyzers be operated only by persons appropriately trained and certified by the District. However, as of the date of the letter, the District had not initiated training or certification programs for this purpose. If operators are unable to obtain this required training in a timely manner, they may be prevented, through no fault of their own, from certifying compliance by the end of the reporting year as the rule requires. (SEU) Response #1: This comment more regards how Rule 1110.2 is implemented in the near term rather than the requirements of the rule. The commenter does not dispute those rule requirements. EPA’s proposal to approve Rule 1110.2 into the California SIP is based on the rule’s requirements as written, which fulfill the relevant CAA criteria for SIP approval. EPA contacted SCAQMD regarding this question in early October. The District informed us at that time that some training sessions had already been scheduled. For further questions, EPA recommends contacting SCAQMD directly, or referring to the District’s rule support documents at https:// www.aqmd.gov/rules/support.html. See also response #3. Comment #2: Rule 1110.2, subsection (f)(1)(C), requires that source testing shall be conducted in accordance with a District-approved source test protocol. However, as of the comment letter date the District had yet to issue written approval of the source test protocols that SEU submitted for its engines. Therefore, SEU may not be able to perform the required source tests before the Rule 1110.2 deadline, putting the VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:31 Apr 24, 2009 Jkt 217001 affected engines at risk of violating the rule. (SEU) Response #2: In a conversation in early October, SCAQMD assured us that if for some reason the District is unable to act on the submitted source test protocols in a timely manner, they would extend the relevant deadlines. Also see Response #1 and Response #3. Comment #3: By being constrained from fulfilling certain rule requirements in a timely manner (as in Comments #1 and #2 above), Title V facilities with engines regulated by Rule 1110.2 risk not being able to certify compliance for the period ending December 31, 2008. This problem could have significant repercussions for facilities, including leaving them susceptible to citizen lawsuits alleging violations of their Title V permits. Similarly, affected companies may not be able to provide a New Source Review (NSR) certification for a given Title V facility. We request that EPA consider these Title V compliance issues if amended Rule 1110.2 becomes SIP-approved. (SEU) Response #3: EPA acknowledges this concern and recognizes that sources may depend on District action in order to fully comply with the rule. Although these rule implementation issues do not affect our decision to approve Rule 1110.2, we are willing to work with SCAQMD to reasonably resolve concerns with related Title V permitting requirements. The other comments received did not relate to our proposal to approve Rule 1110.2, and are therefore not addressed here. III. EPA Action No comments were submitted that change our assessment that the submitted rule complies with the relevant CAA requirements. Therefore, as authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully approving this rule into the California SIP. IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this 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 action: PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 • 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 Clean Air Act; 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. 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 action 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 E:\FR\FM\27APR1.SGM 27APR1 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 79 / Monday, April 27, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 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 26, 2009. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.

under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on May 27, 2009.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2008-0502 for 
this action. The index to the docket is available electronically at 
https://www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region IX, 75 
Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents in the 
docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly 
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material),

[[Page 18996]]

    We proposed to approve this rule because we determined that it 
complied with the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action 
contains more information on the rule and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. 
During this period, we received comments from the following parties.
    1. Charles Humphrey, Jr., Sempra Energy Utilities (SEU); letter 
dated August 29, 2008 and received August 29, 2008.
    2. B. Sachau; e-mail message dated July 30, 2008 and received July 
30, 2008.
    3. U.S. Citizen (anonymous); web comment submitted July 31, 2008.
    The comments and our responses are summarized below.
    Comment #1: Rule 1110.2, subsection (f)(1)(G), requires that 
portable analyzers be operated only by persons appropriately trained 
and certified by the District. However, as of the date of the letter, 
the District had not initiated training or certification programs for 
this purpose. If operators are unable to obtain this required training 
in a timely manner, they may be prevented, through no fault of their 
own, from certifying compliance by the end of the reporting year as the 
rule requires. (SEU)
    Response #1: This comment more regards how Rule 1110.2 is 
implemented in the near term rather than the requirements of the rule. 
The commenter does not dispute those rule requirements. EPA's proposal 
to approve Rule 1110.2 into the California SIP is based on the rule's 
requirements as written, which fulfill the relevant CAA criteria for 
SIP approval. EPA contacted SCAQMD regarding this question in early 
October. The District informed us at that time that some training 
sessions had already been scheduled. For further questions, EPA 
recommends contacting SCAQMD directly, or referring to the District's 
rule support documents at https://www.aqmd.gov/rules/support.html. See 
also response 3.
    Comment #2: Rule 1110.2, subsection (f)(1)(C), requires that source 
testing shall be conducted in accordance with a District-approved 
source test protocol. However, as of the comment letter date the 
District had yet to issue written approval of the source test protocols 
that SEU submitted for its engines. Therefore, SEU may not be able to 
perform the required source tests before the Rule 1110.2 deadline, 
putting the affected engines at risk of violating the rule. (SEU)
    Response #2: In a conversation in early October, SCAQMD assured us 
that if for some reason the District is unable to act on the submitted 
source test protocols in a timely manner, they would extend the 
relevant deadlines. Also see Response 1 and Response 
3.
    Comment #3: By being constrained from fulfilling certain rule 
requirements in a timely manner (as in Comments 1 and 
2 above), Title V facilities with engines regulated by Rule 
1110.2 risk not being able to certify compliance for the period ending 
December 31, 2008. This problem could have significant repercussions 
for facilities, including leaving them susceptible to citizen lawsuits 
alleging violations of their Title V permits. Similarly, affected 
companies may not be able to provide a New Source Review (NSR) 
certification for a given Title V facility. We request that EPA 
consider these Title V compliance issues if amended Rule 1110.2 becomes 
SIP-approved. (SEU)
    Response #3: EPA acknowledges this concern and recognizes that 
sources may depend on District action in order to fully comply with the 
rule. Although these rule implementation issues do not affect our 
decision to approve Rule 1110.2, we are willing to work with SCAQMD to 
reasonably resolve concerns with related Title V permitting 
requirements.
    The other comments received did not relate to our proposal to 
approve Rule 1110.2, and are therefore not addressed here.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment that the 
submitted rule complies with the relevant CAA requirements. Therefore, 
as authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully approving 
this rule into the California SIP.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a 
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and 
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 
Accordingly, this 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 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 Clean Air Act; 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.
    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 action 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

[[Page 18997]]

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
