Download as PDF 12168 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 49 / Monday, March 15, 2010 / Proposed Rules standard promulgated under subsection (b) [of section 104].’’ Section 104(c)(2)(D) of the CPSIA provides, in relevant part, that section 104(c) of the CPSIA applies to any person who ‘‘owns or operates a public accommodation affecting commerce (as defined in section 4 of the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 (FFPCA) (15 U.S.C. 2203)’’ (emphasis added). Section 4 of the FFPCA defines a place of public accommodation as ‘‘any inn, hotel, or other establishment not owned by the Federal Government that provides lodging to transient guests, except that such term does not include an establishment treated as an apartment building for purposes of any State or local law or regulation or an establishment located within a building that contains not more than 5 rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied as a residence by the proprietor of such establishment’’ (emphases added). 15 U.S.C. 2203(7). The FFPCA contains the same exclusion from public accommodation as do the ADA and CRA; in other words, all three statutes exclude an establishment located within a building that contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and that is actually occupied as a residence by the proprietor of such establishment. The FFPCA, like the VGB Act, is a statute intended to promote public safety. Further, the FFPCA’s definition is used in the CPSIA, a statute which is administered by the CPSC. Parties familiar with the CPSC may already be familiar with the definition of ‘‘public accommodation’’ as used in the CPSIA. Thus, the Commission believes it is appropriate to enforce the same interpretation of the phrase ‘‘public accommodation’’ in the VGB Act as used in the CPSIA, especially given the similar public safety goals of the statutes.

Conclusion emcdonald on DSK2BSOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS For the reasons stated above, the Commission proposes to amend chapter II of title 16 of the Code of Federal Regulations by adding a new part 1450 to read as follows: PART 1450—VIRGINIA GRAEME BAKER POOL AND SPA SAFETY ACT REGULATIONS Sec. 1450.1 1450.2 Scope.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    On November 17, 2009, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources 
and Environmental Control (DNREC) submitted a revision to its SIP for 
an amendment to Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific 
Emission Control Requirements. This SIP revision added a new section, 
Section 2--Control of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions from Industrial Boilers 
and Process Heaters at Petroleum Refineries. The regulation was adopted 
in order to require new and/or additional controls on industrial 
boilers and process heaters with heat input capacities of equal to or 
greater than 200 million British thermal units per hour (mmBTU/hr) at 
petroleum refining facilities and to help Delaware attain and maintain 
the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for the 1997 8-hour 
ozone standard by 2010.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    Regulation No.1142/SIP Regulation No. 42 establishes applicability 
and compliance dates to any industrial boiler or process heater with a 
maximum heat input capacity of equal to or greater than 200 mmBTU/hr, 
which is operated or permitted to operate within a petroleum refinery 
facility (except for any Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit carbon monoxide 
(CO) boiler). Regulation No.1142/SIP Regulation No. 42 establishes 
NOX emission limitations for any industrial boiler or 
process heater with a maximum heat input capacity of equal to or 
greater than 200 mmBTU/hr, which is operated or permitted to operate 
within a petroleum refinery facility. The regulation also requires 
compliance with monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the amendment to Delaware's SIP 
revision Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific Emission 
Control Requirements submitted on November 17, 2009. This regulation 
will help to reduce NOX emissions from Delaware's large 
industrial boilers and process heaters that are located at petroleum 
refineries and help Delaware attain and maintain the NAAQS for the 1997 
8-hour ozone standard by 2010. EPA is soliciting public comments on the 
issues discussed in this document. These comments will be considered 
before taking final action.

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 proposes to approve 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 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 proposed rule, pertaining to Delaware's amendment 
to add a new section, Section 2--Control of Nitrogen Oxide Emissions 
from Industrial Boilers and Process Heaters at Petroleum Refineries to 
Regulation No. 1142/SIP Regulation No. 42--Specific Emission Control 
Requirements, 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.
