ACTION: Final rule. EPA is finalizing the update of the Outer Continental Shelf (‘‘OCS’’) Air Regulations proposed in the Federal Register on April 20, 2009.

The portion of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS sources for which the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (Santa Barbara County APCD) is the designated COA. The intended effect of approving the requirements contained in the ‘‘Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District Requirements Applicable to OCS Sources’’ (June 2009) is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements onshore.

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background On April 20, 2009 (74 FR 17934), EPA proposed to approve requirements into the OCS Air Regulations pertaining to Santa Barbara County APCD. These requirements are being promulgated in response to the submittal of rules from this California air pollution control agency. EPA has evaluated the proposed requirements to ensure that they are rationally related to the attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient air quality standards or Part C of title I of the Act, that they are not designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the OCS and that they are applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure that they are not arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded administrative or procedural rules. 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.
