I. Background
On September 23, 2011 (76 FR 59089),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Delaware. The NPR proposed approval
of a regulation that amends the control
of VOC emissions from offset
lithographic printing and letterpress
printing (7 DE Admin Code 1124,
Section 47.0). The purpose of this SIP
revision is to conform to the new CTG
issued by EPA in September 2006 (EPA–
453/R–06–002) for the offset
lithographic printing industry by adding
control requirements for letterpress
printing operations. The formal SIP
revision that reflects the new
requirements was submitted by the
Delaware Department of Natural
Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC) on May 25, 2011.

Jkt 226001
II. Summary of SIP Revision
DNREC’s SIP revision to Section 47.0
expands the control of VOC emissions
to include letterpress printing presses
and sets up a new and more stringent 95
percent reduction standard for those
control systems installed after April 11,
2011 (effective date of the SIP revision).
Amendments to Section 47.0 also
include specifying a one-year transition
period for facilities to comply with the
new requirements and providing
flexibility for facilities to locate
unspecified temperature monitoring
devices for control systems. Other
specific requirements of Section 47.0
and the rationale for EPA’s proposed
action are explained in the NPR and
will not be restated here. No public
comments were received on the NPR.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the control of VOC
emissions from offset lithographic
printing and letterpress printing (7 DE
Admin Code 1124, Section 47.0) as a
revision to the Delaware SIP. This SIP
revision meets the requirements of a
RACT rule for the offset lithographic
printing and letterpress printing CTG
category.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
PO 00000
Frm 00014
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 CAA; 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.
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On September 23, 2011 (76 FR 59089), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Delaware. The NPR proposed
approval of a regulation that amends the control of VOC emissions from
offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing (7 DE Admin Code
1124, Section 47.0). The purpose of this SIP revision is to conform to
the new CTG issued by EPA in September 2006 (EPA-453/R-06-002) for the
offset lithographic printing industry by adding control requirements
for letterpress printing operations. The formal SIP revision that
reflects the new requirements was submitted by the Delaware Department
of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) on May 25, 2011.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
DNREC's SIP revision to Section 47.0 expands the control of VOC
emissions to include letterpress printing presses and sets up a new and
more stringent 95 percent reduction standard for those control systems
installed after April 11, 2011 (effective date of the SIP revision).
Amendments to Section 47.0 also include specifying a one-year
transition period for facilities to comply with the new requirements
and providing flexibility for facilities to locate unspecified
temperature monitoring devices for control systems. Other specific
requirements of Section 47.0 and the rationale for EPA's proposed
action are explained in the NPR and will not be restated here. No
public comments were received on the NPR.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the control of VOC emissions from offset
lithographic printing and letterpress printing (7 DE Admin Code 1124,
Section 47.0) as a revision to the Delaware SIP. This SIP revision
meets the requirements of a RACT rule for the offset lithographic
printing and letterpress printing CTG category.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 CAA. 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 CAA; 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.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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
[[Page 72627]]
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 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).
C. Petitions for Judicial Review
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by January 24, 2012. 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, pertaining to Delaware's control of VOC emissions
from offset lithographic printing and letterpress printing, may not be
challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2).)
