States were required to develop and submit to EPA a triennial emissions inventory according to the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR) for all source categories (i.e., point, area, nonroad mobile and on-road mobile). The review and evaluation of the methods used for the emissions inventory submitted by Pennsylvania are found in the Technical Support Document dated August 12, 2010 available online at www.regulations.gov, Docket No. EPA–R03–OAR–2010–0601. EPA finds that the process used to develop this emissions inventory for the Area is adequate to meet the requirements of CAA section 172(c)(3), the implementing regulations, and EPA guidance for emission inventories. III. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the 2002 base year emissions inventory portion of the SIP revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on November 10, 2009 for the PittsburghBeaver Valley Area. We have made the determination that this action is consistent with section 110 of the CAA. EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document. These comments will be considered before taking final action. erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 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 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: VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:54 Oct 02, 2012 Jkt 229001 • 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 proposed rule, pertaining to the PM2.5 2002 base year emissions inventory portion of the Pennsylvania SIP for the PittsburghBeaver Valley Area, 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 PO 00000 Frm 00019 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 7, 2012, the EPA published in the Federal Register the proposed rule, ‘‘National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines; New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal Combustion Engines’’ (77 FR 33812). The June 7, 2012, action proposed to make specific amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for stationary reciprocating internal combustion engines (RICE), as well as other regulations. The EPA received comments during the public comment period recommending that the RICE NESHAP be amended such that for any existing compression ignition (CI) RICE on offshore drilling vessels on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) that become subject to the RICE NESHAP as a result of the operation of the OCS regulations (40 CFR part 55), such engines may meet the NESHAP through management practices rather than numeric emission limits.1 This amendment was not 1 See document numbers EPA–HQ–OAR–2008– 0708–0965 (comment from BHP Billiton Petroleum), EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0708–1004 at p. 3 (comment from Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association), EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0708–1020 (comment from Anadarko Petroleum Corporation), EPA–HQ–OAR–2008–0708–1071 (comment from Offshore Operators Committee), EPA–HQ–OAR– 2008–0708–1105 at p. 6 (comment from American Petroleum Institute), and EPA–HQ–OAR–2008– 0708–1145 at p. 2 (comment from Alaska Oil and Gas Association). PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 contained or contemplated in the proposal that was published on June 7, 2012. However, the comments indicate several significant issues related to application of the NESHAP to regulation of existing marine vessel engines located in the OCS as a result of the OCS regulations; in particular, whether the numerical standards applicable to other CI engines located at area sources (marine vessels located in the OCS are generally located at area sources) are technologically feasible for existing marine engines located in the OCS. Some commenters note specific technological issues relevant to engines on marine vessels in the OCS. Commenters suggest that, to the extent marine vessel engines become subject to the NESHAP as a result of the OCS regulations, they should be subject to generally available control technology (GACT) requirements that they believe are more appropriate for these types of engines. Given the significance of these issues, the EPA believes it is appropriate to request comment on these issues in the context of this rulemaking. The RICE NESHAP does not on its face apply to mobile sources, including marine vessels. However, OCS Air Regulations, codified at 40 CFR part 55, specify that vessels are OCS sources when they are (1) permanently or temporarily attached to the seabed and erected thereon and used for the purpose of exploring, developing or producing resources therefrom, within the meaning of section 4(a)(1) of the OCS Lands Act (43 U.S.C. § 1331, et seq.); or (2) physically attached to an OCS facility, in which case only the stationary sources aspects of the vessels will be regulated. 40 CFR 55.2. In addition, the OCS regulations provide that NESHAP requirements apply to a marine vessel that is an OCS source where the provisions are ‘‘rationally related to the attainment and maintenance of the Federal or State ambient air quality standards or the requirements of part C of title I of the Act.’’ 40 CFR 55.13(e). As a result, the commenters have requested that any marine vessel that becomes subject to the requirements of the RICE NESHAP as a result of the operation of 40 CFR part 55, be subject to maintenance-based management practices similar to those proposed for remote spark ignition (SI) engines, rather than the numerical emission limits otherwise applicable. The commenters indicated that these management practices are more appropriate as GACT for existing stationary CI RICE on vessels operating on the OCS. The management practices proposed for remote SI engines and E:\FR\FM\03OCP1.SGM 03OCP1 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 192 / Wednesday, October 3, 2012 / Proposed Rules currently required in the rule for smaller CI engines include changing the oil and filter, inspecting the air cleaner or spark plugs and inspecting all hoses and belts within specified intervals.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 7, 2012, the EPA published in the 
Federal Register the proposed rule, ``National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines; 
New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Internal Combustion 
Engines'' (77 FR 33812). The June 7, 2012, action proposed to make 
specific amendments to the national emission standards for hazardous 
air pollutants (NESHAP) for stationary reciprocating internal 
combustion engines (RICE), as well as other regulations. The EPA 
received comments during the public comment period recommending that 
the RICE NESHAP be amended such that for any existing compression 
ignition (CI) RICE on offshore drilling vessels on the Outer 
Continental Shelf (OCS) that become subject to the RICE NESHAP as a 
result of the operation of the OCS regulations (40 CFR part 55), such 
engines may meet the NESHAP through management practices rather than 
numeric emission limits.\1\ This amendment was not contained or 
contemplated in the proposal that was published on June 7, 2012. 
However, the comments indicate several significant issues related to 
application of the NESHAP to regulation of existing marine vessel 
engines located in the OCS as a result of the OCS regulations; in 
particular, whether the numerical standards applicable to other CI 
engines located at area sources (marine vessels located in the OCS are 
generally located at area sources) are technologically feasible for 
existing marine engines located in the OCS. Some commenters note 
specific technological issues relevant to engines on marine vessels in 
the OCS. Commenters suggest that, to the extent marine vessel engines 
become subject to the NESHAP as a result of the OCS regulations, they 
should be subject to generally available control technology (GACT) 
requirements that they believe are more appropriate for these types of 
engines. Given the significance of these issues, the EPA believes it is 
appropriate to request comment on these issues in the context of this 
rulemaking.

    The RICE NESHAP does not on its face apply to mobile sources, 
including marine vessels. However, OCS Air Regulations, codified at 40 
CFR part 55, specify that vessels are OCS sources when they are (1) 
permanently or temporarily attached to the seabed and erected thereon 
and used for the purpose of exploring, developing or producing 
resources therefrom, within the meaning of section 4(a)(1) of the OCS 
Lands Act (43 U.S.C. Sec.  1331, et seq.); or (2) physically attached 
to an OCS facility, in which case only the stationary sources aspects 
of the vessels will be regulated. 40 CFR 55.2. In addition, the OCS 
regulations provide that NESHAP requirements apply to a marine vessel 
that is an OCS source where the provisions are ``rationally related to 
the attainment and maintenance of the Federal or State ambient air 
quality standards or the requirements of part C of title I of the 
Act.'' 40 CFR 55.13(e). As a result, the commenters have requested that 
any marine vessel that becomes subject to the requirements of the RICE 
NESHAP as a result of the operation of 40 CFR part 55, be subject to 
maintenance-based management practices similar to those proposed for 
remote spark ignition (SI) engines, rather than the numerical emission 
limits otherwise applicable. The commenters indicated that these 
management practices are more appropriate as GACT for existing 
stationary CI RICE on vessels operating on the OCS. The management 
practices proposed for remote SI engines and

currently required in the rule for smaller CI engines include changing 
the oil and filter, inspecting the air cleaner or spark plugs and 
inspecting all hoses and belts within specified intervals. Facilities 
have the option of using an oil analysis program to extend the oil 
change requirement. The EPA requests comment on the information 
provided in the public comments regarding compliance by existing 
stationary CI RICE on vessels operating on the OCS with the current 
RICE NESHAP emission limits, in particular, the comments related to 
technological feasibility.
