Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
direct agencies to assess the costs and
benefits of available regulatory
alternatives and, when regulation is
necessary, to select regulatory
approaches that maximize net benefits
(including potential economic,
environmental, public health and safety
effects, and other advantages;
distributive impacts; and equity).
Executive Order 13563 (Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review)
emphasizes the importance of
quantifying both costs and benefits,
reducing costs, harmonizing rules, and
promoting flexibility. Executive Order
12866 (Regulatory Planning and
Review) defines a ‘‘significant
regulatory action,’’ which requires
review by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), as ‘‘any regulatory action
that is likely to result in a rule that may:
(1) Have an annual effect on the
economy of $100 million or more or
adversely affect in a material way the
economy, a sector of the economy,
productivity, competition, jobs, the
environment, public health or safety, or
State, local, or tribal governments or
communities; (2) Create a serious
inconsistency or otherwise interfere
with an action taken or planned by
another agency; (3) Materially alter the
budgetary impact of entitlements,
grants, user fees, or loan programs or the
rights and obligations of recipients
thereof; or (4) Raise novel legal or policy
issues arising out of legal mandates, the
President’s priorities, or the principles
set forth in this Executive Order.’’
The economic, interagency,
budgetary, legal, and policy
implications of this regulatory action
have been examined and it has been
determined not to be a significant
regulatory action under Executive Order
12866.

Direct final rule.
The EPA is taking direct final
action to approve revisions to the Texas
State Implementation Plan (SIP), 30
TAC, Chapter 117 Control of Air
Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds.
These revisions concern two separate
actions. First, we are approving
revisions to Texas SIP, Chapter 117
emissions specifications for lean burn
engines fired on landfill or other biogas
at minor sources of Nitrogen Oxides
(NOx). Second, we are approving
revisions to Texas SIP, Chapter 117 to
include low temperature drying and
curing ovens used in wet-laid nonwoven fiber mat manufacturing
operations when nitrogen containing
resins or other additives are used. These
two actions affect NOx sources
operating in the Dallas Fort-Worth
(DFW) 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. The EPA is
approving these two actions pursuant to
section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act
(CAA, Act).
DATES: This direct final rule will be
effective July 5, 2013 without further
notice unless EPA receives adverse
comments by June 5, 2013. If adverse
comments are received, EPA will
publish a timely withdrawal of the
direct final rule in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will
not take effect.

revisions?

I. Background
A. What actions are we taking?
1. Lean Burn Engines
We previously approved the revisions
to 30 TAC, Chapter 117 Control of Air
Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds on
December 3, 2008 at 73 FR 73562. We
received a SIP submittal package, with
a letter dated May 18, 2011, from TCEQ
requesting approval of a revision to 30
TAC, Chapter 117, Subchapter D,
Combustion Control at Minor Sources in
Ozone Nonattainment Areas, Division 2,
Dallas Fort-Worth Eight-Hour Ozone
Nonattainment Area Minor Sources.
This revision specifically concerns
section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I). The
adopted revisions expand the emission
specification for lean-burn engines fired
on landfill gas to include lean-burn
engines fired on biogas at minor sources
of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in the DFW
1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment
area. The adopted rule revision will
require owners or operators of stationary
gas-fired, lean-burn internal combustion
engines fired on biogas fuels other than
landfill gas that are installed, modified,
reconstructed, or relocated on or after
June 1, 2007, to comply with a NOx
emission limit of 0.60 grams per
horsepower-hour (g/hp-hr). The State’s
adopted rule was published on May 6,
2011 at 36 Texas Register 2855. By
adopting the emission specification of
0.60 g/hp-hr in section
117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I) for the DFW area,
PO 00000
Frm 00020
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
the rule will become consistent with the
emissions specification for this category
of engines operating in the HoustonGalveston-Brazoria (HGB) 1997 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area. The revision
will provide for consistency and
operational flexibility for this category
of engines operating in the DFW 1997
eight-hour ozone nonattainment area.
We are approving these SIP revisions
pursuant to section 110 of the CAA. For
more information see section 1 of the
Technical Support Document (TSD) we
have prepared in conjunction with this
rulemaking action.
2. Low Temperature Drying and Curing
Ovens
We previously approved the revisions
to 30 TAC, Chapter 117 Control of Air
Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds on
December 3, 2008 at 73 FR 73562. We
received a SIP submittal package, with
a letter dated February 2, 2010, from
TCEQ requesting approval of a revision
to 30 TAC, Chapter 117, Subchapter B,
Combustion Control at Major Industrial,
Commercial, and Institutional Sources
in Ozone Nonattainment Areas; Division
4, Dallas Fort-Worth Eight-Hour Ozone
Nonattainment Area Major Sources.
This revision specifically concerns
section 117.403(a)(12). The state
adopted a rule revision to Chapter 117
to expand the existing exemption from
the current SIP-approved rule to include
low-temperature drying ovens and
curing ovens used in wet-laid, nonwoven fiber mat manufacturing as well
as low-temperature drying ovens used
in mineral wool-type fiberglass
manufacturing. The rule revision will
amend the rule language from
‘‘nitrogen-bound chemical additives’’ to
‘‘nitrogen-containing resins, or other
additives.’’ The State’s adopted rule was
published on January 29, 2010 at 35
Texas Register 649.
This revision to section 117.403(a)(12)
will clarify that nitrogen-containing
resins would qualify for an exemption
because resins might not always be
considered an additive. The revision
will provide for operational flexibility
and clarification to the rule language for
this category of ovens operating in the
DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone
nonattainment area. We are approving
these SIP revisions pursuant to section
110 of the CAA. See section 2 of the
TSD we have prepared in conjunction
with this rulemaking action for more
information.
The EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal because we view
this as a noncontroversial amendment
and anticipate no relevant adverse
comments. However, in the proposed
rules section of this Federal Register
E:\FR\FM\06MYR1.SGM
06MYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 87 / Monday, May 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
publication, we are publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to approve the SIP revision if
relevant adverse comments are received.
This rule will be effective on July 5,
2013 without further notice unless we
receive relevant adverse comments by
June 5, 2013. If we receive relevant
adverse comments, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that the
rule will not take effect. We will then
address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. However, we will not
institute a second comment period on
this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so now. Please
note that if we receive an 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 an adverse comment.

B. What is EPA’s evaluation of these
revisions?
1. Lean Burn Engines
The existing NOx emission
specification in section
117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(II) for gas-fired
lean-burn engines using gaseous fuels
other than landfill gas that are installed,
modified, reconstructed, or relocated on
or after June 1, 2007, is 0.50 g/hp-hr.
Landfill gas and other biogas are
produced from anaerobic digestion or
decomposition of organic matter and
have similar fuel and combustion
characteristics. Both landfill gas and
other biogas, at times, contain
contaminants such as sulfur, chlorine,
and silicon. Therefore, engines fired on
landfill gas and other biogas can have
technological feasibility issues with
regard to the installation or employment
of a NOx control catalyst due to the
presence of such substances which can
contribute to catalyst failure or
deactivation in a matter of hours or
days. The technological feasibility
issues related to the installation and
operation of a NOx control catalyst is
the basis for the 0.60 g/hp-hr emission
standard in the current SIP-approved
rule and the justification for the
proposed expansion of the existing
emission specification to include leanburn engines fired on biogas at minor
sources of NOx in the DFW 1997 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area. It is
anticipated that the change in emission
specification will potentially result in
0.02 tons per day (tpd) in NOx
emissions from these engines firing
biogas. As stated above, by adopting the
emission specification of 0.60 g/hp-hr in
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:01 May 03, 2013
Jkt 229001
section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I) for the
DFW area, the rule will become
consistent with the emissions
specification for this category of engines
operating in the HGB 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. Furthermore, a
larger amount of NOx would have
resulted, if a likely alternative such as
routing the gas to a flare is utilized.
Given that a) the biogas will be used
beneficially, b) there are technical
challenges associated with the use of a
post combustion control device for these
engines, and c) only a small amount of
emissions change (which is to be
replaced with the surplus NOx
reductions from the fleet turnover) will
be at issue; this rule revision is
acceptable. For this reason, we believe
this rule revision is not in conflict with
section 110(l) of the Act, and will not
interfere with the attainment or
maintenance of the NAAQS. We have
evaluated the State’s submittal and have
determined that the rule revision meets
the applicable requirements of the CAA
and EPA air quality regulations. See our
section 1 of the TSD. The originally
approved Chapter 117 NOx emissions
control requirements were part of the
DFW 8-hour ozone NAAQS attainment
demonstration plan; therefore, any NOx
increase, including those resulting from
adoption of this particular revision to
section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(II), should
be accounted for and reflected in
modeling of future DFW attainment
demonstration plan submittals to EPA.
2. Low Temperature Drying and Curing
Ovens
On December 3, 2008 at 73 FR 73562,
we approved a revision to Chapter 117,
Subchapter B, Division 4, Dallas-Fort
Worth Eight-Hour Ozone Nonattainment
Area Major Sources, with new emission
control requirements for major
Industrial, Commercial, or Institutional
(ICI) sources of NOX in the DFW 1997
8-hour ozone nonattainment area. That
revision to Chapter 117, Subchapter B,
Division 4 requires owners or operators
of major ICI sources of NOX in the DFW
1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment
area to reduce NOX emissions from a
wide variety of stationary sources
including curing and drying ovens used
in mineral wool-type fiberglass
manufacturing operations. The
December 3, 2008 rulemaking action
approved into the Texas SIP included
an addition of a new provision under
section 117.403(a)(12) to exempt curing
ovens used in mineral wool-type
fiberglass manufacturing in which
nitrogen-bound chemical additives are
used due to technical feasibility issues
associated with controlling NOX
emissions from curing ovens of this
PO 00000
Frm 00021
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
26253
specific operation. TCEQ was petitioned
by a fiberglass manufacturer stating that
addition of nitrogen-bound chemical
additives in its operation contributes to
the creation of non-combustion-related
thermal NOX that cannot be controlled
using the emissions control techniques
the State has identified as appropriate
for curing ovens utilized in mineral
wool-type fiberglass manufacturing
operations. The amount of NOX emitted
from curing ovens of this type is
estimated to be a small contribution to
the total NOX emissions from this
industry. As a result of granting the
petition, approximately 0.1 tpd of NOX
emission reductions will need to be
replaced in the 2007 DFW 1997 8-hour
ozone attainment demonstration SIP.
TCEQ is of the position that the 0.1 tpd
of NOX reduction can be substituted
with 0.1 tpd of reductions in NOX from
the surplus fleet turnover. See section 2
of the TSD. We have reviewed State’s
submittal and agree with their reasoning
to grant the petition, and thus revising
section 117.403(a)(12). We also believe
that by substituting the 0.1 tpd of NOX
from the surplus fleet turnover
reductions the State has adequately
demonstrated ‘‘non-interference’’ with
the maintenance and attainment of
NAAQS under section 110(l) of the Act.
Therefore, the State’s submittal meets
the applicable requirements of the CAA
and EPA air quality regulations.
II. Final Action
Today we are approving two separate
actions. First, we are approving
revisions to Texas SIP, Chapter 117
emissions specifications for lean burn
engines fired on landfill or other biogas
at minor sources of NOX. Second, we are
approving revisions to Texas SIP,
Chapter 117 to include low temperature
drying and curing ovens used in wetlaid non-woven fiber mat manufacturing
and wet-laid, non-woven operations
when nitrogen containing resins or
other additives are used. Both of these
actions affect NOX sources operating in
the DFW 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. EPA is approving
these two actions pursuant to section
110 of the Act.
III. 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
E:\FR\FM\06MYR1.SGM
06MYR1
26254
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 87 / Monday, May 6, 2013 / Rules and Regulations
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;
• 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);
• 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; and
• Is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by
5 U.S.C. 804(2) under the Congressional
Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., added
by the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. A
major rule cannot take effect until 60
days after it is published in the Federal
Register.
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 July 5, 2013.
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) of the Act.)

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Texas; Revisions to Control of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds
from Stationary Sources
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to
the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP), 30 TAC, Chapter 117 Control
of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds. These revisions concern two
separate actions. First, we are approving revisions to Texas SIP,
Chapter 117 emissions specifications for lean burn engines fired on
landfill or other biogas at minor sources of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx).
Second, we are approving revisions to Texas SIP, Chapter 117 to include
low temperature drying and curing ovens used in wet-laid non-woven
fiber mat manufacturing operations when nitrogen containing resins or
other additives are used. These two actions affect NOx sources
operating in the Dallas Fort-Worth (DFW) 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. The EPA is approving these two actions pursuant to
section 110 of the Federal Clean Air Act (CAA, Act).
DATES: This direct final rule will be effective July 5, 2013 without
further notice unless EPA receives adverse comments by June 5, 2013. If
adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of
the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that
the rule will not take effect.

I. Background
A. What actions are we taking?
1. Lean Burn Engines
We previously approved the revisions to 30 TAC, Chapter 117 Control
of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds on December 3, 2008 at 73 FR
73562. We received a SIP submittal package, with a letter dated May 18,
2011, from TCEQ requesting approval of a revision to 30 TAC, Chapter
117, Subchapter D, Combustion Control at Minor Sources in Ozone
Nonattainment Areas, Division 2, Dallas Fort-Worth Eight-Hour Ozone
Nonattainment Area Minor Sources. This revision specifically concerns
section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I). The adopted revisions expand the
emission specification for lean-burn engines fired on landfill gas to
include lean-burn engines fired on biogas at minor sources of nitrogen
oxides (NOx) in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. The
adopted rule revision will require owners or operators of stationary
gas-fired, lean-burn internal combustion engines fired on biogas fuels
other than landfill gas that are installed, modified, reconstructed, or
relocated on or after June 1, 2007, to comply with a NOx emission limit
of 0.60 grams per horsepower-hour (g/hp-hr). The State's adopted rule
was published on May 6, 2011 at 36 Texas Register 2855. By adopting the
emission specification of 0.60 g/hp-hr in section
117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I) for the DFW area, the rule will become
consistent with the emissions specification for this category of
engines operating in the Houston-Galveston-Brazoria (HGB) 1997 8-hour
ozone nonattainment area. The revision will provide for consistency and
operational flexibility for this category of engines operating in the
DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area. We are approving these
SIP revisions pursuant to section 110 of the CAA. For more information
see section 1 of the Technical Support Document (TSD) we have prepared
in conjunction with this rulemaking action.
2. Low Temperature Drying and Curing Ovens
We previously approved the revisions to 30 TAC, Chapter 117 Control
of Air Pollution from Nitrogen Compounds on December 3, 2008 at 73 FR
73562. We received a SIP submittal package, with a letter dated
February 2, 2010, from TCEQ requesting approval of a revision to 30
TAC, Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Combustion Control at Major Industrial,
Commercial, and Institutional Sources in Ozone Nonattainment Areas;
Division 4, Dallas Fort-Worth Eight-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area Major
Sources. This revision specifically concerns section 117.403(a)(12).
The state adopted a rule revision to Chapter 117 to expand the existing
exemption from the current SIP-approved rule to include low-temperature
drying ovens and curing ovens used in wet-laid, non-woven fiber mat
manufacturing as well as low-temperature drying ovens used in mineral
wool-type fiberglass manufacturing. The rule revision will amend the
rule language from ``nitrogen-bound chemical additives'' to ``nitrogen-
containing resins, or other additives.'' The State's adopted rule was
published on January 29, 2010 at 35 Texas Register 649.
This revision to section 117.403(a)(12) will clarify that nitrogen-
containing resins would qualify for an exemption because resins might
not always be considered an additive. The revision will provide for
operational flexibility and clarification to the rule language for this
category of ovens operating in the DFW 1997 eight-hour ozone
nonattainment area. We are approving these SIP revisions pursuant to
section 110 of the CAA. See section 2 of the TSD we have prepared in
conjunction with this rulemaking action for more information.
The EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no relevant
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register
[[Page 26253]]
publication, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as
the proposal to approve the SIP revision if relevant adverse comments
are received. This rule will be effective on July 5, 2013 without
further notice unless we receive relevant adverse comments by June 5,
2013. If we receive relevant adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule
will not take effect. We will then address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. However, we will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so now. Please note that if we receive
an 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 an adverse comment.
B. What is EPA's evaluation of these revisions?
1. Lean Burn Engines
The existing NOx emission specification in section
117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(II) for gas-fired lean-burn engines using gaseous
fuels other than landfill gas that are installed, modified,
reconstructed, or relocated on or after June 1, 2007, is 0.50 g/hp-hr.
Landfill gas and other biogas are produced from anaerobic digestion or
decomposition of organic matter and have similar fuel and combustion
characteristics. Both landfill gas and other biogas, at times, contain
contaminants such as sulfur, chlorine, and silicon. Therefore, engines
fired on landfill gas and other biogas can have technological
feasibility issues with regard to the installation or employment of a
NOx control catalyst due to the presence of such substances which can
contribute to catalyst failure or deactivation in a matter of hours or
days. The technological feasibility issues related to the installation
and operation of a NOx control catalyst is the basis for the 0.60 g/hp-
hr emission standard in the current SIP-approved rule and the
justification for the proposed expansion of the existing emission
specification to include lean-burn engines fired on biogas at minor
sources of NOx in the DFW 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. It is
anticipated that the change in emission specification will potentially
result in 0.02 tons per day (tpd) in NOx emissions from these engines
firing biogas. As stated above, by adopting the emission specification
of 0.60 g/hp-hr in section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(I) for the DFW area,
the rule will become consistent with the emissions specification for
this category of engines operating in the HGB 1997 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area. Furthermore, a larger amount of NOx would have
resulted, if a likely alternative such as routing the gas to a flare is
utilized. Given that a) the biogas will be used beneficially, b) there
are technical challenges associated with the use of a post combustion
control device for these engines, and c) only a small amount of
emissions change (which is to be replaced with the surplus NOx
reductions from the fleet turnover) will be at issue; this rule
revision is acceptable. For this reason, we believe this rule revision
is not in conflict with section 110(l) of the Act, and will not
interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the NAAQS. We have
evaluated the State's submittal and have determined that the rule
revision meets the applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA air
quality regulations. See our section 1 of the TSD. The originally
approved Chapter 117 NOx emissions control requirements were part of
the DFW 8-hour ozone NAAQS attainment demonstration plan; therefore,
any NOx increase, including those resulting from adoption of this
particular revision to section 117.2110(a)(1)(B)(ii)(II), should be
accounted for and reflected in modeling of future DFW attainment
demonstration plan submittals to EPA.
2. Low Temperature Drying and Curing Ovens
On December 3, 2008 at 73 FR 73562, we approved a revision to
Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Division 4, Dallas-Fort Worth Eight-Hour
Ozone Nonattainment Area Major Sources, with new emission control
requirements for major Industrial, Commercial, or Institutional (ICI)
sources of NOX in the DFW 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment
area. That revision to Chapter 117, Subchapter B, Division 4 requires
owners or operators of major ICI sources of NOX in the DFW
1997 eight-hour ozone nonattainment area to reduce NOX
emissions from a wide variety of stationary sources including curing
and drying ovens used in mineral wool-type fiberglass manufacturing
operations. The December 3, 2008 rulemaking action approved into the
Texas SIP included an addition of a new provision under section
117.403(a)(12) to exempt curing ovens used in mineral wool-type
fiberglass manufacturing in which nitrogen-bound chemical additives are
used due to technical feasibility issues associated with controlling
NOX emissions from curing ovens of this specific operation.
TCEQ was petitioned by a fiberglass manufacturer stating that addition
of nitrogen-bound chemical additives in its operation contributes to
the creation of non-combustion-related thermal NOX that
cannot be controlled using the emissions control techniques the State
has identified as appropriate for curing ovens utilized in mineral
wool-type fiberglass manufacturing operations. The amount of
NOX emitted from curing ovens of this type is estimated to
be a small contribution to the total NOX emissions from this
industry. As a result of granting the petition, approximately 0.1 tpd
of NOX emission reductions will need to be replaced in the
2007 DFW 1997 8-hour ozone attainment demonstration SIP. TCEQ is of the
position that the 0.1 tpd of NOX reduction can be
substituted with 0.1 tpd of reductions in NOX from the
surplus fleet turnover. See section 2 of the TSD. We have reviewed
State's submittal and agree with their reasoning to grant the petition,
and thus revising section 117.403(a)(12). We also believe that by
substituting the 0.1 tpd of NOX from the surplus fleet
turnover reductions the State has adequately demonstrated ``non-
interference'' with the maintenance and attainment of NAAQS under
section 110(l) of the Act. Therefore, the State's submittal meets the
applicable requirements of the CAA and EPA air quality regulations.
II. Final Action
Today we are approving two separate actions. First, we are
approving revisions to Texas SIP, Chapter 117 emissions specifications
for lean burn engines fired on landfill or other biogas at minor
sources of NOX. Second, we are approving revisions to Texas
SIP, Chapter 117 to include low temperature drying and curing ovens
used in wet-laid non-woven fiber mat manufacturing and wet-laid, non-
woven operations when nitrogen containing resins or other additives are
used. Both of these actions affect NOX sources operating in
the DFW 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. EPA is approving these
two actions pursuant to section 110 of the Act.
III. 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
[[Page 26254]]
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;
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);
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; and
Is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2)
under the Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996. A major
rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register.
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 July 5, 2013. 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) of the
Act.)
