Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 14, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Civil Justice Reform
This rule meets applicable standards
in sections 3(a) and 3(b)(2) of Executive
Order 12988, Civil Justice Reform, to
minimize litigation, eliminate
ambiguity, and reduce burden.
Protection of Children
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13045, Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks. This rule is not
an economically significant rule and
does not create an environmental risk to
health or risk to safety that may
disproportionately affect children.
Indian Tribal Governments
This rule does not have tribal
implications under Executive Order
13175, Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,
because it 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.
Energy Effects
We have analyzed this rule under
Executive Order 13211, Actions
Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use. We have
determined that it is not a ‘‘significant
energy action’’ under that order because
it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’
under Executive Order 12866 and is not
likely to have a significant adverse effect
on the supply, distribution, or use of
energy. The Administrator of the Office
of Information and Regulatory Affairs
has not designated it as a significant
energy action. Therefore, it does not
require a Statement of Energy Effects
under Executive Order 13211.

Technical Standards
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act (NTTAA) (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs agencies to use
voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless the agency
provides Congress, through the Office of
Management and Budget, with an
explanation of why using these
standards would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g., specifications
of materials, performance, design, or
operation; test methods; sampling
procedures; and related management
systems practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standards bodies.

Jkt 220001
This rule does not use technical
standards. Therefore, we did not
consider the use of voluntary consensus
standards.
Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 5100.1 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) (42 U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and
have concluded this action is one of a
category of actions which do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded, under figure 2–1, paragraph
(34)(g), of the Instruction. This rule
involves the establishment of a safety
zone.
An environmental analysis checklist
and a categorical exclusion
determination are available in the
docket where indicated under

XIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What Does This Action Do?
EPA is providing notice that it is
delegating authority for implementation
and enforcement of certain NSPS to
LDEQ. EPA is also taking direct final
action to approve the delegation of
certain NESHAPs to LDEQ. With these
delegations, LDEQ will have the
primary responsibility to implement
and enforce the delegated standards
under NSPS and NESHAPs.
II. What Is the Authority for
Delegation?
Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) authorizes EPA to delegate
authority to any State agency which
submits adequate regulatory procedures
for implementation and enforcement of
the NSPS program. The NSPS standards
are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR
part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to
delegate authority to any State or local
agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for
implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants. The hazardous air pollutant
standards are codified at 40 CFR parts
61 and 63.
III. What Criteria Must Louisiana’s
Program Meet To Be Approved?
EPA previously approved LDEQ’s
program for the delegation of NSPS
February 22, 1982 (47 FR 07665). The
delegation was most recently updated
on March 26, 2004 (59 FR 15687). This
action notifies the public that EPA is
updating LDEQ’s delegation to
implement and enforce certain
additional NSPS. The CAA, as
amended, requires under section 111
that performance standards be set for
source categories which in the judgment
of the Administrator cause or contribute
significantly to air pollution. The CAA
precisely states that the States should
have primary authority for
implementing the NSPS program.
EPA will approve an air toxics
program if we find that:

jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with RULES
(1) The State program is ‘‘no less
stringent’’ than the corresponding
Federal program or rule;
(2) the State has adequate authority
and resources to implement the
program;
(3) the schedule for implementation
and compliance is sufficiently
expeditious; and
(4) the program otherwise complies
with Federal guidance.
In order to obtain approval of its
program to implement and enforce
Federal section 112 rules as
promulgated without changes (straight
delegation), only the criteria of 40 CFR
63.91(d) must be met. 40 CFR
63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final
Title V program approval will satisfy the
criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70
sources. Louisiana received its Title V
approval on September 12, 1995 (60 FR
47296), effective October 12, 1995.
IV. What Is Being Delegated?
On August 14, 2009, EPA received a
delegation request update for NSPS and
NESHAP rules added to the CFR as of
July 1, 2008, and certain rules issued
after July 2008. The most recent update
to NESHAP Delegation to be approved
was approved and covered NESHAP
regulations issued through July 1, 2004.
The last update to the NSPS delegation
to be approved was approved on March
26, 2004 and covered NSPS regulations
that had been issued through July 1,
2002. With the exceptions noted below,
the LDEQ’s rules incorporate by
reference (IBR) the corresponding
Federal regulations in 40 CFR parts 60,
61 and 63, into the Air Quality
regulations, which are applicable in
Louisiana that have been adopted
through July 1, 2008. The Louisiana
rules also incorporate by reference
certain amendments to NSPS rules that
were adopted after July 1, 2008. These
are 40 CFR part 60, Stay of effective date
of subpart Ja (73 FR 43626),
amendments to subpart JJJJ (73 FR
59175), and amendments to subparts D,
Da, Db, and Dc (74 FR 5072). The
Louisiana rules also IBR certain
amendments to part 63 that were
promulgated after July 1, 2008. These
are 40 CFR part 63 withdrawal of and
revision to subpart M (73 FR 39871),
partial withdrawal of direct final rule
and amendments to subpart EEEE (73
FR 40977), amendments to subpart
BBBBB (73 FR 42529), subpart XXXXXX
(73 FR 43000), and subpart YYYYYY
(73 FR 78637).
40 CFR part 61 delegations remain
unchanged from the previous delegation
update which was effective May 25,
2004. LDEQ’s request for delegation of
certain NSPS and NESHAP is for all
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:13 Apr 13, 2010
Jkt 220001
sources (both part 70 and non-part 70
sources). The request includes revisions
of the NESHAP standards adopted
unchanged into Louisiana
Administrative Code (LAC) Title 33:III,
Chapter 30, Subchapter A, Section
3003—Incorporation by Reference 40
CFR part 60; Chapter 51, Subchapter B,
Section 5116—Incorporation by
Reference of 40 CFR part 61; Chapter 51,
Subchapter C, Section 5122—
Incorporation by Reference of 40 CFR
part 63 as it Applies to Major Sources,
except for the compliance date
established in Subpart S—Pulp and
Paper Industry at 40 CFR 63.440(d)(1);
and Chapter 53, Subchapter B, Section
5311—Incorporation by Reference of 40
CFR part 63 as it Applies to Area
Sources. For NSPS, this revision
incorporated all NSPS promulgated by
EPA (except Subpart AAA—Standards
of Performance for New Residential
Wood Heaters) as amended in the
Federal Register through July 1, 2002.
For the part 61 NESHAPs, this revision
included all NESHAPs promulgated by
EPA as amended in the Federal Register
through July 1, 2002, excluding subparts
B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W. For the part
63 NESHAPs, this includes the
NESHAPs set forth in the table at end
of this Federal Register action titled
‘‘CAA Program Delegation Status for
Louisiana.’’ The effective date of the
Federal delegation for parts 61 and 63
standards is the effective date of this
rule.
Also the delegation of, subpart EEEE,
Standards of Performance for Other
Solid Waste Incineration Units (OSWI)
that Commenced Construction on or
before December 9, 2004, promulgated
on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74870),
remains unchanged as does the LDEQ’s
plan for emission guidelines and
compliance times for OSWI units that
commenced construction on or before
December 9, 2004, subpart FFFF, 40
CFR 60.2980–60.3078 and tables 1–5, 70
FR 74870 (December 16, 2005). Until the
LDEQ has a mechanism to approve
training programs in compliance with
40 CFR 60.3014, the LDEQ shall except
accreditation approved by other States
complying with 40 CFR 60.3014. The
IBR emission guidelines of 40 CFR part
60, and amendments to 40 CFR part 60,
are applied to applicable units in the
State.
V. What Is Not Being Delegated?
The following part 60, 61 and 63
authorities listed below are not
delegated. All of the inquiries and
requests concerning implementation
and enforcement of the excluded
standards in the State of Louisiana
PO 00000
Frm 00070

should be directed to the EPA Region 6
Office.
• 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA
(Standards of Performance for New
Residential Wood Heaters);
• 40 CFR part 60, subpart B,
Adoption and Submittal of State Plans
for Designated Facilities and 40 CFR
part 60, subpart C, Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times, are not
included;
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Underground Uranium
Mines);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National
Emission Standards for Emissions of
Radionuclides Other Than Radon From
Department of Energy Facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Federal Facilities Other
Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart
H);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus
Plants);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Department of Energy
facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Phosphogypsum
Stacks);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium
Mill Tailings); and
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Operating Mill
Tailings).
In addition, EPA cannot delegate to a
State any of the Category II Subpart A
authorities set forth in 40 CFR
63.91(g)(2). These include the following
provisions: § 63.6(g), Approval of
Alternative Non-Opacity Standards;
§ 63.6(h)(9), Approval of Alternative
Opacity Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and
(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to
Test Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of
Major Alternatives to Monitoring; and
§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and
Reporting. In addition, some MACT
standards have certain provisions that
cannot be delegated to the States (e.g. 40
CFR 63.106(b)). Therefore, any MACT
standard that EPA is delegating to
LDEQ, that provides that certain
authorities cannot be delegated, are
retained by EPA and not delegated.
Furthermore, no authorities are
delegated that require rulemaking in the
Federal Register to implement, or where
E:\FR\FM\14APR1.SGM
14APR1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 71 / Wednesday, April 14, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
Federal overview is the only way to
ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or
requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, section 112(r), the accidental
release program authority, is not being
delegated by this approval.
40 CFR 63, subpart D, Compliance
Extensions for Early Reductions of
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs),
Subpart E, Approval of State Programs
and Delegation of Federal Authorities
and Subpart J, National Emission
Standards for HAPs for Polyvinyl
Chloride and Copolymers Production,
are not included.
In addition, this delegation to LDEQ
to implement and enforce certain NSPS
and NESHAPs does not extend to
sources or activities located in Indian
country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151.
Under this definition, EPA treats as
reservations, trust lands validly set
aside for the use of a Tribe even if the
trust lands have not been formally
designated as a reservation. Consistent
with previous federal program
approvals or delegations, EPA will
continue to implement the NSPS and
NESHAPs in Indian country because
LDEQ has not adequately demonstrated
its authority over sources and activities
located within the exterior boundaries
of Indian reservations and other areas in
Indian country.
VI. How Will Applicability
Determinations Under Section 112 Be
Made?
In approving this delegation, LDEQ
will obtain concurrence from EPA on
any matter involving the interpretation
of section 112 of the CAA or 40 CFR
part 63 to the extent that
implementation, administration or
enforcement of these sections have not
been covered by EPA determinations or
guidance.

VII. What Authority Does EPA Have?
We retain the right, as provided by
CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any
applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 112. EPA
also has the authority to make certain
decisions under the General Provisions
(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting
LDEQ some of these authorities, and
retaining others, as explained in
sections IV and V above. In addition,
EPA may review and disapprove of
State determinations and subsequently
require revisions. (See 40 CFR 63.91 and
65 FR 55837, September 14, 2000, as
amended at 70 FR 59887, October 13,
2005; 72 FR 27443, May 16, 2007.)
Furthermore, we retain any authority
in an individual emission standard that
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:13 Apr 13, 2010
Jkt 220001
may not be delegated according to
provisions of the standard.
VIII. What Information Must LDEQ
Provide to EPA?
Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all
notifications under NSPS must be sent
to both EPA and to LDEQ. Please send
notifications and reports to Chief, Air
Enforcement Surveillance Branch at the
EPA Region 6 office.
In delegating the authority to
implement and enforce these rules and
in granting a waiver of EPA notification
requirements, we require LDEQ to input
all source information into the
Aerometric Information Retrieval
System (AIRS) for both point and area
sources. LDEQ must enter this
information into the AIRS system and
update the information by September 30
of every year. LDEQ must provide any
additional compliance related
information to the EPA Region 6 Office
of Enforcement and Compliance
Assurance within 45 days of a request
under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In receiving
delegation for specific General
Provisions authorities, LDEQ must
submit to EPA Region 6 on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations
issued under these authorities. For part
63 standards, these determinations
include: applicability determinations
(§ 63.1); approval/disapprovals of
construction and reconstruction
(§ 63.5(e) and (f)); notifications
regarding the use of a continuous
opacity monitoring system
(§ 63.6(h)(7)(ii)); finding of compliance
(§ 63.6(h)(8)); approval/disapprovals of
compliance extensions (§ 63.6(i));
approvals/disapprovals of minor
(§ 63.7(e)(2)(i)) or intermediate
(§ 63.7(e)(2)(ii)) alternative (§ 63.7(f))
test methods; approval of shorter
sampling times and volumes
(§ 63.7(e)(2)(iii)); waiver of performance
testing (§ 63.7(e)(2)(iv) and (h)(2), (3));
approvals/disapprovals of minor or
intermediate alternative monitoring
methods (§ 63.8(f)); approval of
adjustments to time periods for
submitting reports (§ 63.9 and 63.10);
and approvals/disapprovals of minor
alternatives to recordkeeping and
reporting (§ 63.10(f)).
Additionally, EPA’s Emissions,
Monitoring, and Analysis Division must
receive copies of any approved
intermediate changes to test methods or
monitoring. (Please note that
intermediate changes to test methods
must be demonstrated as equivalent
through the procedures set out in EPA
method 301.) This information on
approved intermediate changes to test
methods and monitoring will be used to

be accessible to State and local agencies
and EPA Regions for reference in
making future decisions. (For
definitions of major, intermediate and
minor alternative test methods or
monitoring methods, see 40 CFR 63.90).
The LDEQ should forward these
intermediate test methods or monitoring
changes via mail or facsimile to: Chief,
Air Measurements and Quality Group,
Emissions Monitoring and Analysis
Division, Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards, Mail Code D205–02,
Research Triangle Park, NC 27711,
Facsimile telephone number: (919) 541–
0516.
IX. What Is EPA’s Oversight of This
Delegation to LDEQ?
EPA must oversee LDEQ’s decisions
to ensure the delegated authorities are
being adequately implemented and
enforced. We will integrate oversight of
the delegated authorities into the
existing mechanisms and resources for
oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that LDEQ
made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards,
then LDEQ shall be required to take
corrective actions and the source(s)
affected by the decisions will be
notified, as required by 40 CFR
63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will initiate
withdrawal of the program or rule if the
corrective actions taken are insufficient.
X. Should Sources Submit Notices to
EPA or LDEQ?
For the NESHAPS being delegated, all
of the information required pursuant to
the general provisions and the relevant
subpart of the Federal NESHAP (40 CFR
part 63) should be submitted by sources
located outside of Indian country,
directly to the LDEQ at the following
address: Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality, 602 N. Fifth
Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802.
The LDEQ is the primary point of
contact with respect to delegated
NESHAPs. Sources do not need to send
a copy to EPA. EPA Region 6 waives the
requirement that notifications and
reports for delegated standards be
submitted to EPA in addition to LDEQ
in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii)
and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For those standards
that are not delegated, sources must
continue to submit all appropriate
information to EPA.
XI. How Will Unchanged Authorities Be
Delegated to LDEQ in the Future?
In the future, LDEQ will only need to
send a letter of request to EPA, Region
6, for NESHAP regulations that LDEQ
has adopted by reference. The letter
must reference the previous up-front

approval demonstration and reaffirm
that it still meets the up-front approval
criteria. We will respond in writing to
the request stating that the request for
delegation is either granted or denied. A
Federal Register action will be
published to inform the public and
affected sources of the delegation,
indicate where source notifications and
reports should be sent, and to amend
the relevant portions of the Code of
Federal Regulations showing which
NESHAP standards have been delegated
to LDEQ.
XII. Final Action
The public was provided the
opportunity to comment on the
proposed approval of the program and
mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70
sources, August 24, 1994, for the
proposed interim approval of LDEQ’s
Title V operating permits program; and
on April 7, 1995, for the proposed final
approval of LDEQ’s Title V operating
permits program. In EPA’s final full
approval of Louisiana’s Operating
Permits Program (60 FR 47296), the EPA
discussed the public comments on the
proposed final delegation of the Title V
operating permits program. In today’s
action, the public is given the
opportunity to comment on the
approval of LDEQ’s request for
delegation of authority to implement
and enforce certain section 112
standards for all sources (both part 70
and non-part 70 sources) which have
been adopted by reference Louisiana’s
state regulations. However, the Agency
views the approval of these requests as
a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no adverse comments.
Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal. However, in the
‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s
Federal Register publication, EPA is
publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposal to approve the
program and delegation of authority
described in this action if adverse
comments are received. This action will
be effective June 14, 2010 without
further notice unless the Agency
receives relevant adverse comments by
May 14, 2010.
If EPA receives relevant adverse
comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public the rule will not
take effect. We will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if we receive
relevant adverse comment on an
VerDate Nov<24>2008
16:13 Apr 13, 2010
Jkt 220001
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of a
relevant adverse comment.
XIII. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
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 approves
State law as meeting Federal
requirements and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
State law. 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 approves pre-existing requirements
under State law and 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
(59 FR 22951, 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
approves a State request to receive
delegation of certain Federal standards,
and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. 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 is not
economically significant.

In reviewing delegation submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve submissions
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. 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 a delegation submission
for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation
submission that otherwise satisfies the
provisions of the Clean Air Act. 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 14, 2010.
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. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

I. What Does This Action Do?
EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for
implementation and enforcement of certain NSPS to LDEQ. EPA is also
taking direct final action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAPs
to LDEQ. With these delegations, LDEQ will have the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce the delegated standards under
NSPS and NESHAPs.
II. What Is the Authority for Delegation?
Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes EPA to
delegate authority to any State agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS
program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
Section 112(l) of the CAA and 40 CFR part 63, subpart E, authorizes
EPA to delegate authority to any State or local agency which submits
adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The hazardous air
pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and 63.
III. What Criteria Must Louisiana's Program Meet To Be Approved?
EPA previously approved LDEQ's program for the delegation of NSPS
February 22, 1982 (47 FR 07665). The delegation was most recently
updated on March 26, 2004 (59 FR 15687). This action notifies the
public that EPA is updating LDEQ's delegation to implement and enforce
certain additional NSPS. The CAA, as amended, requires under section
111 that performance standards be set for source categories which in
the judgment of the Administrator cause or contribute significantly to
air pollution. The CAA precisely states that the States should have
primary authority for implementing the NSPS program.
EPA will approve an air toxics program if we find that:
[[Page 19254]]
(1) The State program is ``no less stringent'' than the
corresponding Federal program or rule;
(2) the State has adequate authority and resources to implement the
program;
(3) the schedule for implementation and compliance is sufficiently
expeditious; and
(4) the program otherwise complies with Federal guidance.
In order to obtain approval of its program to implement and enforce
Federal section 112 rules as promulgated without changes (straight
delegation), only the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) must be met. 40 CFR
63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final Title V program approval
will satisfy the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 sources.
Louisiana received its Title V approval on September 12, 1995 (60 FR
47296), effective October 12, 1995.
IV. What Is Being Delegated?
On August 14, 2009, EPA received a delegation request update for
NSPS and NESHAP rules added to the CFR as of July 1, 2008, and certain
rules issued after July 2008. The most recent update to NESHAP
Delegation to be approved was approved and covered NESHAP regulations
issued through July 1, 2004. The last update to the NSPS delegation to
be approved was approved on March 26, 2004 and covered NSPS regulations
that had been issued through July 1, 2002. With the exceptions noted
below, the LDEQ's rules incorporate by reference (IBR) the
corresponding Federal regulations in 40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63, into
the Air Quality regulations, which are applicable in Louisiana that
have been adopted through July 1, 2008. The Louisiana rules also
incorporate by reference certain amendments to NSPS rules that were
adopted after July 1, 2008. These are 40 CFR part 60, Stay of effective
date of subpart Ja (73 FR 43626), amendments to subpart JJJJ (73 FR
59175), and amendments to subparts D, Da, Db, and Dc (74 FR 5072). The
Louisiana rules also IBR certain amendments to part 63 that were
promulgated after July 1, 2008. These are 40 CFR part 63 withdrawal of
and revision to subpart M (73 FR 39871), partial withdrawal of direct
final rule and amendments to subpart EEEE (73 FR 40977), amendments to
subpart BBBBB (73 FR 42529), subpart XXXXXX (73 FR 43000), and subpart
YYYYYY (73 FR 78637).
40 CFR part 61 delegations remain unchanged from the previous
delegation update which was effective May 25, 2004. LDEQ's request for
delegation of certain NSPS and NESHAP is for all sources (both part 70
and non-part 70 sources). The request includes revisions of the NESHAP
standards adopted unchanged into Louisiana Administrative Code (LAC)
Title 33:III, Chapter 30, Subchapter A, Section 3003--Incorporation by
Reference 40 CFR part 60; Chapter 51, Subchapter B, Section 5116--
Incorporation by Reference of 40 CFR part 61; Chapter 51, Subchapter C,
Section 5122--Incorporation by Reference of 40 CFR part 63 as it
Applies to Major Sources, except for the compliance date established in
Subpart S--Pulp and Paper Industry at 40 CFR 63.440(d)(1); and Chapter
53, Subchapter B, Section 5311--Incorporation by Reference of 40 CFR
part 63 as it Applies to Area Sources. For NSPS, this revision
incorporated all NSPS promulgated by EPA (except Subpart AAA--Standards
of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters) as amended in the
Federal Register through July 1, 2002. For the part 61 NESHAPs, this
revision included all NESHAPs promulgated by EPA as amended in the
Federal Register through July 1, 2002, excluding subparts B, H, I, K,
Q, R, T, and W. For the part 63 NESHAPs, this includes the NESHAPs set
forth in the table at end of this Federal Register action titled ``CAA
Program Delegation Status for Louisiana.'' The effective date of the
Federal delegation for parts 61 and 63 standards is the effective date
of this rule.
Also the delegation of, subpart EEEE, Standards of Performance for
Other Solid Waste Incineration Units (OSWI) that Commenced Construction
on or before December 9, 2004, promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR
74870), remains unchanged as does the LDEQ's plan for emission
guidelines and compliance times for OSWI units that commenced
construction on or before December 9, 2004, subpart FFFF, 40 CFR
60.2980-60.3078 and tables 1-5, 70 FR 74870 (December 16, 2005). Until
the LDEQ has a mechanism to approve training programs in compliance
with 40 CFR 60.3014, the LDEQ shall except accreditation approved by
other States complying with 40 CFR 60.3014. The IBR emission guidelines
of 40 CFR part 60, and amendments to 40 CFR part 60, are applied to
applicable units in the State.
V. What Is Not Being Delegated?
The following part 60, 61 and 63 authorities listed below are not
delegated. All of the inquiries and requests concerning implementation
and enforcement of the excluded standards in the State of Louisiana
should be directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Wood Heaters);
40 CFR part 60, subpart B, Adoption and Submittal of State
Plans for Designated Facilities and 40 CFR part 60, subpart C, Emission
Guidelines and Compliance Times, are not included;
40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Underground Uranium Mines);
40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National Emission Standards for
Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From Department of Energy
Facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Federal Facilities Other Than Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart H);
40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus Plants);
40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Department of Energy facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Phosphogypsum Stacks);
40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium Mill Tailings); and
40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings).
In addition, EPA cannot delegate to a State any of the Category II
Subpart A authorities set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g)(2). These include
the following provisions: Sec. 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative Non-
Opacity Standards; Sec. 63.6(h)(9), Approval of Alternative Opacity
Standards; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Major Alternatives
to Test Methods; Sec. 63.8(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to
Monitoring; and Sec. 63.10(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to
Recordkeeping and Reporting. In addition, some MACT standards have
certain provisions that cannot be delegated to the States (e.g. 40 CFR
63.106(b)). Therefore, any MACT standard that EPA is delegating to
LDEQ, that provides that certain authorities cannot be delegated, are
retained by EPA and not delegated. Furthermore, no authorities are
delegated that require rulemaking in the Federal Register to implement,
or where
[[Page 19255]]
Federal overview is the only way to ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, section 112(r), the accidental release program authority, is
not being delegated by this approval.
40 CFR 63, subpart D, Compliance Extensions for Early Reductions of
Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs), Subpart E, Approval of State Programs
and Delegation of Federal Authorities and Subpart J, National Emission
Standards for HAPs for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production,
are not included.
In addition, this delegation to LDEQ to implement and enforce
certain NSPS and NESHAPs does not extend to sources or activities
located in Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Under this
definition, EPA treats as reservations, trust lands validly set aside
for the use of a Tribe even if the trust lands have not been formally
designated as a reservation. Consistent with previous federal program
approvals or delegations, EPA will continue to implement the NSPS and
NESHAPs in Indian country because LDEQ has not adequately demonstrated
its authority over sources and activities located within the exterior
boundaries of Indian reservations and other areas in Indian country.
VI. How Will Applicability Determinations Under Section 112 Be Made?
In approving this delegation, LDEQ will obtain concurrence from EPA
on any matter involving the interpretation of section 112 of the CAA or
40 CFR part 63 to the extent that implementation, administration or
enforcement of these sections have not been covered by EPA
determinations or guidance.
VII. What Authority Does EPA Have?
We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 112(l)(7), to
enforce any applicable emission standard or requirement under section
112. EPA also has the authority to make certain decisions under the
General Provisions (subpart A) of part 63. We are granting LDEQ some of
these authorities, and retaining others, as explained in sections IV
and V above. In addition, EPA may review and disapprove of State
determinations and subsequently require revisions. (See 40 CFR 63.91
and 65 FR 55837, September 14, 2000, as amended at 70 FR 59887, October
13, 2005; 72 FR 27443, May 16, 2007.)
Furthermore, we retain any authority in an individual emission
standard that may not be delegated according to provisions of the
standard.
VIII. What Information Must LDEQ Provide to EPA?
Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all notifications under NSPS must be sent to
both EPA and to LDEQ. Please send notifications and reports to Chief,
Air Enforcement Surveillance Branch at the EPA Region 6 office.
In delegating the authority to implement and enforce these rules
and in granting a waiver of EPA notification requirements, we require
LDEQ to input all source information into the Aerometric Information
Retrieval System (AIRS) for both point and area sources. LDEQ must
enter this information into the AIRS system and update the information
by September 30 of every year. LDEQ must provide any additional
compliance related information to the EPA Region 6 Office of
Enforcement and Compliance Assurance within 45 days of a request under
40 CFR 63.96(a). In receiving delegation for specific General
Provisions authorities, LDEQ must submit to EPA Region 6 on a semi-
annual basis, copies of determinations issued under these authorities.
For part 63 standards, these determinations include: applicability
determinations (Sec. 63.1); approval/disapprovals of construction and
reconstruction (Sec. 63.5(e) and (f)); notifications regarding the use
of a continuous opacity monitoring system (Sec. 63.6(h)(7)(ii));
finding of compliance (Sec. 63.6(h)(8)); approval/disapprovals of
compliance extensions (Sec. 63.6(i)); approvals/disapprovals of minor
(Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(i)) or intermediate (Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(ii))
alternative (Sec. 63.7(f)) test methods; approval of shorter sampling
times and volumes (Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iii)); waiver of performance
testing (Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(iv) and (h)(2), (3)); approvals/disapprovals
of minor or intermediate alternative monitoring methods (Sec.
63.8(f)); approval of adjustments to time periods for submitting
reports (Sec. 63.9 and 63.10); and approvals/disapprovals of minor
alternatives to recordkeeping and reporting (Sec. 63.10(f)).
Additionally, EPA's Emissions, Monitoring, and Analysis Division
must receive copies of any approved intermediate changes to test
methods or monitoring. (Please note that intermediate changes to test
methods must be demonstrated as equivalent through the procedures set
out in EPA method 301.) This information on approved intermediate
changes to test methods and monitoring will be used to compile a
database of decisions that will be accessible to State and local
agencies and EPA Regions for reference in making future decisions. (For
definitions of major, intermediate and minor alternative test methods
or monitoring methods, see 40 CFR 63.90). The LDEQ should forward these
intermediate test methods or monitoring changes via mail or facsimile
to: Chief, Air Measurements and Quality Group, Emissions Monitoring and
Analysis Division, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Mail
Code D205-02, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711, Facsimile telephone
number: (919) 541-0516.
IX. What Is EPA's Oversight of This Delegation to LDEQ?
EPA must oversee LDEQ's decisions to ensure the delegated
authorities are being adequately implemented and enforced. We will
integrate oversight of the delegated authorities into the existing
mechanisms and resources for oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that LDEQ made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards, then LDEQ shall be required to
take corrective actions and the source(s) affected by the decisions
will be notified, as required by 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will
initiate withdrawal of the program or rule if the corrective actions
taken are insufficient.
X. Should Sources Submit Notices to EPA or LDEQ?
For the NESHAPS being delegated, all of the information required
pursuant to the general provisions and the relevant subpart of the
Federal NESHAP (40 CFR part 63) should be submitted by sources located
outside of Indian country, directly to the LDEQ at the following
address: Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, 602 N. Fifth
Street, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802. The LDEQ is the primary point of
contact with respect to delegated NESHAPs. Sources do not need to send
a copy to EPA. EPA Region 6 waives the requirement that notifications
and reports for delegated standards be submitted to EPA in addition to
LDEQ in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For
those standards that are not delegated, sources must continue to submit
all appropriate information to EPA.
XI. How Will Unchanged Authorities Be Delegated to LDEQ in the Future?
In the future, LDEQ will only need to send a letter of request to
EPA, Region 6, for NESHAP regulations that LDEQ has adopted by
reference. The letter must reference the previous up-front
[[Page 19256]]
approval demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the up-front
approval criteria. We will respond in writing to the request stating
that the request for delegation is either granted or denied. A Federal
Register action will be published to inform the public and affected
sources of the delegation, indicate where source notifications and
reports should be sent, and to amend the relevant portions of the Code
of Federal Regulations showing which NESHAP standards have been
delegated to LDEQ.
XII. Final Action
The public was provided the opportunity to comment on the proposed
approval of the program and mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70 sources, August 24, 1994, for the
proposed interim approval of LDEQ's Title V operating permits program;
and on April 7, 1995, for the proposed final approval of LDEQ's Title V
operating permits program. In EPA's final full approval of Louisiana's
Operating Permits Program (60 FR 47296), the EPA discussed the public
comments on the proposed final delegation of the Title V operating
permits program. In today's action, the public is given the opportunity
to comment on the approval of LDEQ's request for delegation of
authority to implement and enforce certain section 112 standards for
all sources (both part 70 and non-part 70 sources) which have been
adopted by reference Louisiana's state regulations. However, the Agency
views the approval of these requests as a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no adverse comments. Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of
today's Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate
document that will serve as the proposal to approve the program and
delegation of authority described in this action if adverse comments
are received. This action will be effective June 14, 2010 without
further notice unless the Agency receives relevant adverse comments by
May 14, 2010.
If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public the rule will
not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if we receive
relevant adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this
rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the
rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not
the subject of a relevant adverse comment.
XIII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and 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 approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law.
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 approves pre-existing requirements under State law and 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 (59
FR 22951, 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 approves a State request
to receive delegation of certain Federal standards, and does not alter
the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities
established in the Clean Air Act. 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 is not economically significant.
In reviewing delegation submissions, EPA's role is to approve
submissions provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
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 a delegation submission for failure to use VCS. It would
thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to use VCS in place of
a delegation submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the
Clean Air Act. 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 14, 2010. 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. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
