before formal EPA review.

There are no previous versions of

C. What is the purpose of the submitted
rule?
VOCs help produce ground-level
ozone and smog, which harm human
health and the environment. Section
110(a) of the CAA requires States to
submit regulations that control VOC
emissions. Rule 4695 limits VOC
emissions from large brandy aging and
wine aging operations. EPA’s technical
support document (TSD) has more
information about this rule.
II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action

as well as each major source in
nonattainment areas (see sections
182(a)(2) and (b)(2)), and must not relax
existing requirements (see sections
110(l) and 193). The SJVUAPCD
regulates an extreme ozone
nonattainment area (see 40 CFR part 81),
so Rule 4695 must fulfill RACT.
Guidance and policy documents that
we use to evaluate enforceability and
RACT requirements consistently
include the following:
1. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation
Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations,’’ EPA, May 25, 1988 (the
Bluebook).
2. ‘‘Guidance Document for Correcting
Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,’’ EPA Region 9, August 21,
2001 (the Little Bluebook).
3. ‘‘Reasonably Available Control

Ozone State Implementation Plans

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation
criteria?

requires all brandy aging operations be
conducted in a warehouse that is
initially certified and maintained as a
Permanent Total Enclosure (PTE) using
the requirements of EPA Method 204.

evaluation.
C. EPA Recommendations to Further
Improve the Rule
The TSD describes additional rule
revisions that we recommend for the
next time the local agency modifies Rule
4695 but are not currently the basis for
rule disapproval.
D. Public Comment and Final Action
Because EPA believes the submitted
rule fulfills all relevant requirements,
we are proposing to fully approve it as
described in section 110(k)(3) of the Act.
We will accept comments from the
public on this proposal for the next 30
days. Unless we receive convincing new
information during the comment period,
we intend to publish a final approval
action that will incorporate this rule
into the federally enforceable SIP.

costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
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
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects with practical,
appropriate, 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

emissions from large brandy aging and wine aging operations. EPA's

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action
A. How is EPA evaluating the rule?
Generally, SIP rules must be enforceable (see section 110(a) of the
Act), must require Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for
each category of sources covered by a Control Techniques Guidelines
(CTG) document as well as each major source in nonattainment areas (see
sections 182(a)(2) and (b)(2)), and must not relax existing
requirements (see sections 110(l) and 193). The SJVUAPCD regulates an
extreme ozone nonattainment area (see 40 CFR part 81), so Rule 4695
must fulfill RACT.
Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluate
enforceability and RACT requirements consistently include the
following:
1. ``Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations,'' EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook).
2. ``Guidance Document for Correcting Common VOC & Other Rule

3. ``Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) Demonstration
for Ozone State Implementation Plans (SIP)'' SJVAPCD, April 16, 2009.
B. Does the rule meet the evaluation criteria?
We believe this rule is consistent with the relevant policy and
guidance regarding enforceability, RACT, and SIP relaxations. Rule 4695
Section 5.5 requires all brandy aging operations be conducted in a
warehouse that is initially certified and maintained as a Permanent
Total Enclosure (PTE) using the requirements of EPA Method 204. The TSD
has more information on our evaluation.

The TSD describes additional rule revisions that we recommend for

Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State

Accordingly, this action merely approves State law as meeting Federal

imposed by State law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to

Does not impose an information collection burden under the

Is certified as not having a significant economic impact

Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
