Proposed Action III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Analysis of Knox County’s Submittals On December 13, 2012, TDEC submitted a SIP revision to EPA for approval into the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP. Specifically, the December 13, 2012, SIP revises the PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 49991 definition of ‘‘Modification’’ in Knox County Regulation, section 13.0— Definitions. The additions of subparagraphs E and F to the definition of ‘‘Modification’’ allows the local permit program authority to provide adequate, streamlined, and reasonable procedures for expeditiously processing permit changes by excluding certain modifications from construction permitting. The addition of subparagraph E provides that certain modifications (physical/method of operation) at major sources that are not considered Title I modifications do not require construction permits. Specifically, modifications at such sources that qualify: (1) As Title V operational flexibility changes (CAA section 502(b)(10)); (2) as minor permit modifications; or (3) for group processing of minor modifications will not require construction permits. See 40 CFR 70.7 for more detailed information on permit modifications. The addition at subparagraph F establishes criteria for which a physical change or change in the method of operation for a minor source does not need a construction permit. These criteria include: (1) The change is not subject to the requirements of the Knox County Title V program (at section 25.70), Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) at Section 45.0 and new source review (NSR) permitting regulations at Section 41.01; (2) the emissions from the modification does not exceed the allowable emissions established in an existing permit; or (3) the change does not result in emissions from a new contaminant or pollutant. II. Proposed Action EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned change to Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP, because it is consistent with EPA policy and the CAA. III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action 1 EPA notes that the language at subparagraph F that states ‘‘The change is not subject to requirements of a Title V Operating Permit (Section 25.70), a New Source Review Permit (Section 41.0), or a Prevention of Significant Deterioration Permit (Section 45.0);’’ refers to the actual Knox County title V, PSD and NSR permitting regulations and not to an actual permit, as clarified in a email from Knox County on June 7, 2013.

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 proposal 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.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Analysis of Knox County's Submittals

    On December 13, 2012, TDEC submitted a SIP revision to EPA for 
approval into the Knox County portion of the Tennessee SIP. 
Specifically, the December 13, 2012, SIP revises the definition of 
``Modification'' in Knox County Regulation, section 13.0--Definitions. 
The additions of subparagraphs E and F to the definition of 
``Modification'' allows the local permit program authority to provide 
adequate, streamlined, and reasonable procedures for expeditiously 
processing permit changes by excluding certain modifications from 
construction permitting. The addition of subparagraph E provides that 
certain modifications (physical/method of operation) at major sources 
that are not considered Title I modifications do not require 
construction permits. Specifically, modifications at such sources that 
qualify: (1) As Title V operational flexibility changes (CAA section 
502(b)(10)); (2) as minor permit modifications; or (3) for group 
processing of minor modifications will not require construction 
permits. See 40 CFR 70.7 for more detailed information on permit 
modifications.
    The addition at subparagraph F establishes criteria for which a 
physical change or change in the method of operation for a minor source 
does not need a construction permit. These criteria include: (1) The 
change is not subject to the requirements of the Knox County Title V 
program (at section 25.70), Prevention of Significant Deterioration 
(PSD) at Section 45.0 and new source review (NSR) permitting 
regulations at Section 41.0\1\; (2) the emissions from the modification 
does not exceed the allowable emissions established in an existing 
permit; or (3) the change does not result in emissions from a new 
contaminant or pollutant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ EPA notes that the language at subparagraph F that states 
``The change is not subject to requirements of a Title V Operating 
Permit (Section 25.70), a New Source Review Permit (Section 41.0), 
or a Prevention of Significant Deterioration Permit (Section 
45.0);'' refers to the actual Knox County title V, PSD and NSR 
permitting regulations and not to an actual permit, as clarified in 
a email from Knox County on June 7, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

II. Proposed Action

    EPA is proposing to approve the aforementioned change to Knox 
County portion of the Tennessee SIP, because it is consistent with EPA 
policy and the CAA.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, 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 CAA. Accordingly, this 
action

[[Page 49992]]

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 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);

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

address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental 
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under

    In addition, this proposal does not have tribal implications as 
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),

costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
