XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What does this action do?
EPA is taking direct final action to
approve the delegation of certain
NESHAPs to TCEQ. With this
delegation, TCEQ has the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce
the delegated standards. See sections V
and VI, below, for a discussion of which
standards are being delegated and
which are not being delegated.
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Section 112(l) of the CAA, and 40 CFR
part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to
delegate authority to any State or local
agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for
implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants. The hazardous air pollutant
standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63.
III. What criteria must Texas’ program
meet to be approved?
Section 112(l) of the CAA enables
EPA to approve State air toxics
programs or rules to operate in place of
the Federal air toxics program or rules.
40 CFR part 63, subpart E (subpart E)
governs EPA’s approval of State rules or
programs under section 112(l).
EPA will approve an air toxics
program if we find that:
(1) The State program is ‘‘no less
stringent’’ than the corresponding
Federal program or rule;
(2) The State has adequate authority
and resources to implement the
program;
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
70103
(3) The schedule for implementation
and compliance is sufficiently
expeditious; and
(4) The program otherwise complies
with Federal guidance.
In order to obtain approval of its
program to implement and enforce
Federal section 112 rules as
promulgated without changes (straight
delegation), only the criteria of 40 CFR
63.91(d) must be met. 40 CFR
63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final
Title V program approval will satisfy the
criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70
sources.
IV. How did TCEQ meet the Subpart E
approval criteria?
As part of its Title V submission,
TCEQ stated that it intended to use the
mechanism of incorporation by
reference to adopt unchanged Federal
section 112 into its regulations. This
applied to both existing and future
standards as they applied to part 70
sources ((60 FR 30444 (June 7, 1995)
and 61 FR 32699 (June 25, 1996)). On
December 6, 2001, EPA promulgated
final full approval of the State’s
operating permits program effective
November 30, 2001 (66 FR 63318). The
TCEQ was originally delegated the
authority to implement certain
NESHAPs effective May 17, 2005 (70 FR
13108). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once
a State has satisfied up-front approval
criteria, it needs only to reference the
previous demonstration and reaffirm
that it still meets the criteria for any
subsequent submittals. TCEQ has
affirmed that it still meets the up-front
approval criteria.
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated January 16, 2008,
TCEQ requested EPA to update its
existing NESHAP delegation. The TCEQ
requests delegation of certain Part 63
NESHAPs for all sources (both part 70
and non-part 70 sources). TCEQ’s
request included newly incorporated
NESHAPs promulgated by EPA and
amendments to existing standards
currently delegated, as amended
between April 13, 2004 and October 29,
2007. These NESHAP were adopted by
the TCEQ on December 5, 2007.
By letter dated August 28, 2013, EPA
received a second request from TCEQ to
update its existing NESHAP delegation.
The TCEQ requests delegation of certain
Part 63 NESHAPs for all sources (both
part 70 and non-part 70 sources).
TCEQ’s request included newly
incorporated NESHAPs promulgated by
EPA and amendments to existing
standards that are currently delegated,
as amended between October 30, 2007
and April 24, 2013. These NESHAP

25NOR1
70104
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
been covered by EPA determinations or
guidance.
VI. What is not being delegated?
EPA cannot delegate to a State any of
the Category II Subpart A authorities set
forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g) (2). These
include the following provisions:
§ 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative NonOpacity Standards; § 63.6(h)(9),
Approval of Alternative Opacity
Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f),
Approval of Major Alternatives to Test
Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major
Alternatives to Monitoring; and
§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and
Reporting. In addition, some Part 63
standards have certain provisions that
cannot be delegated to the States.
Therefore, any Part 63 standard that
EPA is delegating to TCEQ that provides
that certain authorities cannot be
delegated are retained by EPA and not
delegated. Furthermore, no authorities
are delegated that require rulemaking in
the Federal Register to implement, or
where Federal overview is the only way
to ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or
requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, section 112(r), the accidental
release program authority, is not being
delegated by this approval.
All of the inquiries and requests
concerning implementation and
enforcement of the excluded standards
in the State of Texas should be directed
to the EPA Region 6 Office.
In addition, this delegation to TCEQ
to implement and enforce certain
NESHAPs does not extend to sources or
activities located in Indian country, as
defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Under this
definition, EPA treats as reservations,
trust lands validly set aside for the use
of a Tribe even if the trust lands have
not been formally designated as a
reservation. Consistent with previous
federal program approvals or
delegations, EPA will continue to
implement the NESHAPs in Indian
country because TCEQ has not
submitted information to demonstrate
authority over sources and activities
located within the exterior boundaries
of Indian reservations and other areas in
Indian country.
wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
were adopted by the TCEQ on July 26,
2013.
VIII. What authority does EPA have?
We retain the right, as provided by
CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any
applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 112. EPA
also has the authority to make certain
decisions under the General Provisions
(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting
TCEQ some of these authorities, and
retaining others, as explained in
sections V and VI above. In addition,
EPA may review and disapprove of
State determinations and subsequently
require corrections. (See 40 CFR
63.91(g) and 65 FR 55810, 55823,
September 14, 2000, as amended at 70
FR 59887, October 13, 2005; 72 FR
27443, May 16, 2007.)
Furthermore, we retain any authority
in an individual emission standard that
may not be delegated according to
provisions of the standard. Also, listed
in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation
table at the end of this rule are the
authorities that cannot be delegated to
any State or local agency which we
therefore retain.
VII. How will applicability
determinations under Section 112 be
made?
In approving this delegation, TCEQ
will obtain concurrence from EPA on
any matter involving the interpretation
of section 112 of the CAA or 40 CFR
part 63 to the extent that
implementation, administration, or
enforcement of these sections have not

IX. What information must TCEQ
provide to EPA?
TCEQ must provide any additional
compliance related information to EPA,
Region 6, Office of Enforcement and
Compliance Assurance within 45 days
of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a).
In receiving delegation for specific
General Provisions authorities, TCEQ
must submit to EPA Region 6 on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations
issued under these authorities. For part
63 standards, these determinations
include: Section 63.1, Applicability
Determinations; Section 63.6(e),
Operation and Maintenance
Requirements—Responsibility for
Determining Compliance; Section
63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity
Standards—Responsibility for

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and
Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension
of Performance Test Deadline.
X. What is EPA’s oversight of this
delegation to TCEQ?
EPA must oversee TCEQ’s decisions
to ensure the delegated authorities are
being adequately implemented and
enforced. We will integrate oversight of
the delegated authorities into the
existing mechanisms and resources for
oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that TCEQ
made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards,
then TCEQ shall be required to take
corrective actions and the source(s)
affected by the decisions will be
notified, as required by 40 CFR
63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will initiate
withdrawal of the program or rule if the
corrective actions taken are insufficient.
XI. Should sources submit notices to
EPA or TCEQ?
For the NESHAPs being delegated and
included in the table below, all of the
information required pursuant to the
general provisions and the relevant
subpart of the Federal NESHAP (40 CFR
part 63) should be submitted by sources
located outside of Indian country,
directly to the TCEQ at the following
address: Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality, Office of
Permitting, Remediation and
Registration, Air Permits Division (MC
163), P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas
78711–3087. The TCEQ is the primary
point of contact with respect to
delegated NESHAPs. Sources do not
need to send a copy to EPA. EPA Region
6 waives the requirement that
notifications and reports for delegated
standards be submitted to EPA in
addition to TCEQ in accordance with 40
CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For
those standards that are not delegated,
sources must continue to submit all
appropriate information to EPA.
XII. How will unchanged authorities be
delegated to TCEQ in the future?
In the future, TCEQ will only need to
send a letter of request to EPA, Region
6, for NESHAP regulations that TCEQ
has adopted by reference. The letter
must reference the previous up-front
approval demonstration and reaffirm
that it still meets the up-front approval
criteria. We will respond in writing to

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations
wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
the request stating that the request for
delegation is either granted or denied. A
Federal Register action will be
published to inform the public and
affected sources of the delegation,
indicate where source notifications and
reports should be sent, and to amend
the relevant portions of the Code of
Federal Regulations showing which
NESHAP standards have been delegated
to TCEQ.
XIII. Final Action
The public was provided the
opportunity to comment on the
proposed approval of the program and
mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70
sources, on June 7, 1995, for the
proposed interim approval of TCEQ’s
Title V operating permits program; and
on October 11, 2001, for the proposed
final approval of TCEQ’s Title V
operating permits program. In EPA’s
final full approval of Texas’ Operating
Permits Program on December 6, 2001
(66 FR 63318), the EPA discussed the
public comments on the proposed final
delegation of the Title V operating
permits program. In today’s action, the
public is given the opportunity to
comment on the approval of TCEQ’s
request for delegation of authority to
implement and enforce certain section
112 standards for all sources (both part
70 and non-part 70 sources) which have
been adopted by reference into Texas’
state regulations. However, the Agency
views the approval of these requests as
a noncontroversial action and
anticipates no adverse comments.
Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule
without prior proposal. However, in the
‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s
Federal Register publication, EPA is
publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposal to approve the
program and delegation of authority
described in this action if adverse
comments are received. This action will
be effective January 26, 2015 without
further notice unless the Agency
receives relevant adverse comments by
December 26, 2014.
If EPA receives relevant adverse
comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public the rule will not
take effect. We will address all public
comments in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed rule. The EPA
will not institute a second comment
period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at
this time. Please note that if we receive
relevant adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of
this rule and if that provision may be
severed from the remainder of the rule,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
14:24 Nov 24, 2014
Jkt 235001
we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of a
relevant adverse comment.
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR
51735, October 4, 1993), this action is
not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and
therefore is not subject to review by the
Office of Management and Budget. For
this reason, this action is also not
subject to Executive Order 13211,
‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May
22, 2001). This action merely approves
state law as meeting Federal
requirements and imposes no additional
requirements beyond those imposed by
state law. Accordingly, the
Administrator certifies that this rule
will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this
rule approves pre-existing requirements
under state law and does not impose
any additional enforceable duty beyond
that required by state law, it does not
contain any unfunded mandate or
significantly or uniquely affect small
governments, as described in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
(Public Law 104–4).
The delegation is not approved to
apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), nor will it impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. This
action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government, as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255,
August 10, 1999). This action merely
approves a state request to receive
delegation of certain Federal standards,
and does not alter the relationship or
the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean
Air Act. This rule also is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of
Children from Environmental Health
Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997), because it is not
economically significant.
In reviewing delegation submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve submissions
PO 00000
Frm 00053
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
70105
provided that they meet the criteria of
the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the
absence of a prior existing requirement
for the State to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a delegation submission
for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for
EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation
submission that otherwise satisfies the
provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus,
the requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C.
272 note) do not apply. This rule does
not impose an information collection
burden under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
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
report containing this rule 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).
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

submitted by John Deere Des Moines
Works (John Deere) of Deere &
Company, in Ankeny, Iowa to exclude
or ‘‘delist’’ up to 600 tons per calendar
year of F006/F019 wastewater treatment
sludge filter cake generated by John
Deere’s wastewater treatment system
from the list of hazardous wastes. This
final rule responds to a petition
submitted by John Deere to delist up to
600 tons per calendar year of F006/F019

generated by John Deere’s wastewater
treatment system from the list of
hazardous wastes.
After careful analysis and use of the
Delisting Risk Assessment Software
(DRAS), EPA has concluded the
petitioned waste is not hazardous waste.
The F006/F019 exclusion is a
conditional exclusion for 600 cubic

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants;
Delegation of Authority to Texas
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of authority.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has
submitted updated regulations for receiving delegation of EPA authority
for implementation and enforcement of National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) for all sources (both part 70 and
non-part 70 sources). These regulations apply to certain NESHAPs
promulgated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) at 40 CFR part
63, as amended between April 13, 2004 and April 24, 2013. The
delegation of authority under this action does not apply to sources
located in Indian Country. EPA is taking direct final action to approve
the delegation of certain NESHAPs to TCEQ.
DATES: This rule is effective on January 26, 2015 without further
notice, unless EPA receives relevant adverse comment by December 26,
2014. If EPA receives such comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that this rule
will not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R06-
OAR-2008-0074, by one of the following methods:

Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket No. EPA-R06-OAR-2008-
0074. EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in
the public docket without change and may be made available online at
https://www.regulations.gov, including any personal information
provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information through
https://www.regulations.gov or email, if you believe that it is CBI or
otherwise protected from disclosure. The https://www.regulations.gov Web
site is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know
your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body
of your comment. If you send an email comment directly to EPA without
going through https://www.regulations.gov, your email address will be
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name
and other contact information in the body of your comment along with
any disk or CD-ROM submitted. If EPA cannot read your comment due to
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid
the use of special characters and any form of encryption and be free of
any defects or viruses. For additional information about EPA's public
docket, visit the EPA Docket Center homepage at https://www.epa.gov/epahome/dockets.htm.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What does this action do?
EPA is taking direct final action to approve the delegation of
certain NESHAPs to TCEQ. With this delegation, TCEQ has the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce the delegated standards. See
sections V and VI, below, for a discussion of which standards are being
delegated and which are not being delegated.
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Section 112(l) of the CAA, and 40 CFR part 63, subpart E,
authorizes EPA to delegate authority to any State or local agency which
submits adequate regulatory procedures for implementation and
enforcement of emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The
hazardous air pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63.
III. What criteria must Texas' program meet to be approved?
Section 112(l) of the CAA enables EPA to approve State air toxics
programs or rules to operate in place of the Federal air toxics program
or rules. 40 CFR part 63, subpart E (subpart E) governs EPA's approval
of State rules or programs under section 112(l).
EPA will approve an air toxics program if we find that:
(1) The State program is ``no less stringent'' than the
corresponding Federal program or rule;
(2) The State has adequate authority and resources to implement the
program;
(3) The schedule for implementation and compliance is sufficiently
expeditious; and
(4) The program otherwise complies with Federal guidance.
In order to obtain approval of its program to implement and enforce
Federal section 112 rules as promulgated without changes (straight
delegation), only the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) must be met. 40 CFR
63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final Title V program approval
will satisfy the criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 sources.
IV. How did TCEQ meet the Subpart E approval criteria?
As part of its Title V submission, TCEQ stated that it intended to
use the mechanism of incorporation by reference to adopt unchanged
Federal section 112 into its regulations. This applied to both existing
and future standards as they applied to part 70 sources ((60 FR 30444
(June 7, 1995) and 61 FR 32699 (June 25, 1996)). On December 6, 2001,
EPA promulgated final full approval of the State's operating permits
program effective November 30, 2001 (66 FR 63318). The TCEQ was
originally delegated the authority to implement certain NESHAPs
effective May 17, 2005 (70 FR 13108). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a
State has satisfied up-front approval criteria, it needs only to
reference the previous demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets
the criteria for any subsequent submittals. TCEQ has affirmed that it
still meets the up-front approval criteria.
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated January 16, 2008, TCEQ requested EPA to update its
existing NESHAP delegation. The TCEQ requests delegation of certain
Part 63 NESHAPs for all sources (both part 70 and non-part 70 sources).
TCEQ's request included newly incorporated NESHAPs promulgated by EPA
and amendments to existing standards currently delegated, as amended
between April 13, 2004 and October 29, 2007. These NESHAP were adopted
by the TCEQ on December 5, 2007.
By letter dated August 28, 2013, EPA received a second request from
TCEQ to update its existing NESHAP delegation. The TCEQ requests
delegation of certain Part 63 NESHAPs for all sources (both part 70 and
non-part 70 sources). TCEQ's request included newly incorporated
NESHAPs promulgated by EPA and amendments to existing standards that
are currently delegated, as amended between October 30, 2007 and April
24, 2013. These NESHAP
[[Page 70104]]
were adopted by the TCEQ on July 26, 2013.
VI. What is not being delegated?
EPA cannot delegate to a State any of the Category II Subpart A
authorities set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g) (2). These include the
following provisions: Sec. 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative Non-
Opacity Standards; Sec. 63.6(h)(9), Approval of Alternative Opacity
Standards; Sec. 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Major Alternatives
to Test Methods; Sec. 63.8(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to
Monitoring; and Sec. 63.10(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to
Recordkeeping and Reporting. In addition, some Part 63 standards have
certain provisions that cannot be delegated to the States. Therefore,
any Part 63 standard that EPA is delegating to TCEQ that provides that
certain authorities cannot be delegated are retained by EPA and not
delegated. Furthermore, no authorities are delegated that require
rulemaking in the Federal Register to implement, or where Federal
overview is the only way to ensure national consistency in the
application of the standards or requirements of CAA section 112.
Finally, section 112(r), the accidental release program authority, is
not being delegated by this approval.
All of the inquiries and requests concerning implementation and
enforcement of the excluded standards in the State of Texas should be
directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
In addition, this delegation to TCEQ to implement and enforce
certain NESHAPs does not extend to sources or activities located in
Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Under this definition,
EPA treats as reservations, trust lands validly set aside for the use
of a Tribe even if the trust lands have not been formally designated as
a reservation. Consistent with previous federal program approvals or
delegations, EPA will continue to implement the NESHAPs in Indian
country because TCEQ has not submitted information to demonstrate
authority over sources and activities located within the exterior
boundaries of Indian reservations and other areas in Indian country.
VII. How will applicability determinations under Section 112 be made?
In approving this delegation, TCEQ will obtain concurrence from EPA
on any matter involving the interpretation of section 112 of the CAA or
40 CFR part 63 to the extent that implementation, administration, or
enforcement of these sections have not been covered by EPA
determinations or guidance.
VIII. What authority does EPA have?
We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 112(l)(7), to
enforce any applicable emission standard or requirement under section
112. EPA also has the authority to make certain decisions under the
General Provisions (subpart A) of part 63. We are granting TCEQ some of
these authorities, and retaining others, as explained in sections V and
VI above. In addition, EPA may review and disapprove of State
determinations and subsequently require corrections. (See 40 CFR
63.91(g) and 65 FR 55810, 55823, September 14, 2000, as amended at 70
FR 59887, October 13, 2005; 72 FR 27443, May 16, 2007.)
Furthermore, we retain any authority in an individual emission
standard that may not be delegated according to provisions of the
standard. Also, listed in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation table
at the end of this rule are the authorities that cannot be delegated to
any State or local agency which we therefore retain.
IX. What information must TCEQ provide to EPA?
TCEQ must provide any additional compliance related information to
EPA, Region 6, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance within 45
days of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a).
In receiving delegation for specific General Provisions
authorities, TCEQ must submit to EPA Region 6 on a semi-annual basis,
copies of determinations issued under these authorities. For part 63
standards, these determinations include: Section 63.1, Applicability
Determinations; Section 63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance
Requirements--Responsibility for Determining Compliance; Section
63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity Standards--Responsibility for
Determining Compliance; Section 63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and
Visible Emissions Standards--Responsibility for Determining Compliance;
Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and (d), Approval of Site-Specific Test Plans;
Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Test Methods;
Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Intermediate Alternatives
to Test Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval of Shorter Sampling
Times and Volumes When Necessitated by Process Variables or Other
Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), (h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of
Performance Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), Approval of Site-
Specific Performance Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; Section
63.8(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.8(f),
Approval of Intermediate Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 and
63.10, Approval of Adjustments to Time Periods for Submitting Reports;
Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor Alternatives to Recordkeeping and
Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension of Performance Test Deadline.
X. What is EPA's oversight of this delegation to TCEQ?
EPA must oversee TCEQ's decisions to ensure the delegated
authorities are being adequately implemented and enforced. We will
integrate oversight of the delegated authorities into the existing
mechanisms and resources for oversight currently in place. If, during
oversight, we determine that TCEQ made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards, then TCEQ shall be required to
take corrective actions and the source(s) affected by the decisions
will be notified, as required by 40 CFR 63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will
initiate withdrawal of the program or rule if the corrective actions
taken are insufficient.
XI. Should sources submit notices to EPA or TCEQ?
For the NESHAPs being delegated and included in the table below,
all of the information required pursuant to the general provisions and
the relevant subpart of the Federal NESHAP (40 CFR part 63) should be
submitted by sources located outside of Indian country, directly to the
TCEQ at the following address: Texas Commission on Environmental
Quality, Office of Permitting, Remediation and Registration, Air
Permits Division (MC 163), P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 78711-3087.
The TCEQ is the primary point of contact with respect to delegated
NESHAPs. Sources do not need to send a copy to EPA. EPA Region 6 waives
the requirement that notifications and reports for delegated standards
be submitted to EPA in addition to TCEQ in accordance with 40 CFR
63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For those standards that are not
delegated, sources must continue to submit all appropriate information
to EPA.
XII. How will unchanged authorities be delegated to TCEQ in the future?
In the future, TCEQ will only need to send a letter of request to
EPA, Region 6, for NESHAP regulations that TCEQ has adopted by
reference. The letter must reference the previous up-front approval
demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the up-front approval
criteria. We will respond in writing to
[[Page 70105]]
the request stating that the request for delegation is either granted
or denied. A Federal Register action will be published to inform the
public and affected sources of the delegation, indicate where source
notifications and reports should be sent, and to amend the relevant
portions of the Code of Federal Regulations showing which NESHAP
standards have been delegated to TCEQ.
XIII. Final Action
The public was provided the opportunity to comment on the proposed
approval of the program and mechanism for delegation of section 112
standards, as they apply to part 70 sources, on June 7, 1995, for the
proposed interim approval of TCEQ's Title V operating permits program;
and on October 11, 2001, for the proposed final approval of TCEQ's
Title V operating permits program. In EPA's final full approval of
Texas' Operating Permits Program on December 6, 2001 (66 FR 63318), the
EPA discussed the public comments on the proposed final delegation of
the Title V operating permits program. In today's action, the public is
given the opportunity to comment on the approval of TCEQ's request for
delegation of authority to implement and enforce certain section 112
standards for all sources (both part 70 and non-part 70 sources) which
have been adopted by reference into Texas' state regulations. However,
the Agency views the approval of these requests as a noncontroversial
action and anticipates no adverse comments. Therefore, EPA is
publishing this rule without prior proposal. However, in the ``Proposed
Rules'' section of today's Federal Register publication, EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the program and delegation of authority described in this
action if adverse comments are received. This action will be effective
January 26, 2015 without further notice unless the Agency receives
relevant adverse comments by December 26, 2014.
If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public the rule will
not take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent
final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in
commenting must do so at this time. Please note that if we receive
relevant 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 a relevant adverse comment.
XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and does
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4).
The delegation is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated
that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the
rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order
13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. This action
also does not have Federalism implications because it does not have
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as
specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This
action merely approves a state request to receive delegation of certain
Federal standards, and does not alter the relationship or the
distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air
Act. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically
significant.
In reviewing delegation submissions, EPA's role is to approve
submissions provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority
to disapprove a delegation submission for failure to use VCS. It would
thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to use VCS in place of
a delegation submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the
Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do
not apply. This rule does not impose an information collection burden
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.).
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 report containing this rule 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).
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 January 26, 2015. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
