New Source Performance Standards
and National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation
of Authority to Louisiana
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of
authority.
AGENCY:
The Louisiana Department of
Environmental Quality (LDEQ) has
submitted updated regulations for
receiving delegation of Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) authority for
implementation and enforcement of
New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) and National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPs) for all sources (both part 70
and non-part 70 sources). The
delegation of authority under this action
does not apply to sources located in
Indian Country. EPA is providing notice
that it is updating the delegation of
certain NSPS to LDEQ, and taking direct
final action to approve the delegation of
certain NESHAPs to LDEQ.
DATES: This rule is effective on April 27,
2015 without further notice, unless EPA
receives relevant adverse comment by
March 26, 2015. If EPA receives such
comment, EPA will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that the updated
NESHAPs delegation will not take
effect; however, the NSPS delegation
will not be affected by such action.

I. What does this action do?
EPA is providing notice that it is
delegating authority for implementation
and enforcement of certain NSPS to
LDEQ. EPA is also taking direct final
action to approve the delegation of
certain NESHAPs to LDEQ. With this
delegation, LDEQ has the primary
responsibility to implement and enforce
the delegated standards.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) authorizes EPA to delegate
authority to any state agency which
submits adequate regulatory procedures
for implementation and enforcement of
the NSPS program. The NSPS standards
are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
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 an adequate
regulatory program for implementation
and enforcement of emission standards
for hazardous air pollutants. The
hazardous air pollutant standards are
codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and 63.
III. What criteria must Louisiana’s
programs meet to be approved?
In order to receive delegation of
NSPS, a state must develop and submit
to the EPA a procedure for
implementing and enforcing the NSPS
in the state, and their regulations and
resources must be adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the
NSPS. EPA initially approved
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:15 Feb 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
Louisiana’s program for the delegation
of NSPS on February 22, 1982 (47 FR
07665). EPA reviewed the laws of the
State and the rules and regulations of
the Louisiana Department of Natural
Resources (now the LDEQ) and
determined the State’s procedures,
regulations and resources adequate for
the implementation and enforcement of
the NSPS program. This action notifies
the public that EPA is updating LDEQ’s
delegation to implement and enforce
certain additional NSPS.
As to the NESHAP standards in 40
CFR parts 61 and 63, section 112(l)(5) 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 governs EPA’s approval of
State programs or rules under section
112(l).
EPA will approve the State’s
submittal of a program for
implementation and enforcement of the
NESHAPs 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), a State must demonstrate
that it meets the approval criteria of 40
CFR 63.91(d). 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 (sources required to obtain
operating permits pursuant to Title V of
the Clean Air Act).
IV. How did LDEQ meet the approval
criteria?
As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR
part 60, LDEQ adopted the Federal
standards via incorporation by
reference. The LDEQ regulations are,
therefore, at least as stringent as EPA’s
rules. See 40 CFR 60.10(a). Also, in the
EPA initial approval of NSPS
delegation, we determined that the State
developed procedures for implementing
and enforcing the NSPS in the State,
and that the State’s regulations and
resources are adequate for the
implementation and enforcement of the
NSPS program. See 47 FR 07665
(February 22, 1982).

Frm 00024
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
As to the NESHAP standards in 40
CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title
V submission LDEQ stated that it
intended to use the mechanism of
incorporation by reference to adopt
unchanged Federal section 112
standards into its regulations. This
commitment applied to both existing
and future standards as they applied to
part 70 sources. EPA’s final interim
approval of Louisiana’s Title V
operating permits program delegated the
authority to implement certain
NESHAPs to the State. See 60 FR 17750
(April 7, 1995). EPA promulgated final
full approval of the State’s operating
permits program on September 12, 1995.
See 60 FR 42296. These interim and
final title V program approvals satisfy
the upfront approval criteria of 40 CFR
63.91(d). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2),
once a state has satisfied the up-front
approval criteria, it needs only to
reference the previous demonstration
and reaffirm that it still meets the
criteria for any subsequent submittals
for delegation of the section 112
standards. LDEQ has affirmed that it
still meets the up-front approval criteria.
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated November 30, 2010,
EPA received a request from Louisiana
to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and
NESHAPs delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below,
LDEQ’s request included NSPS in 40
CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 CFR
part 61 and 63, as amended between
July 2, 2008 and July 1, 2009.
By letter dated May 28, 2013, EPA
received a second request from
Louisiana to update LDEQ’s NSPS
delegation. Louisiana’s request only
included NSPS in 40 CFR part 60,
subpart OOOO, Standards of
Performance for Crude Oil and Natural
Gas Production, Transmission and
Distribution, as promulgated by EPA on
August 16, 2012 (77 FR 49490).
By letter dated June 21, 2013, EPA
received a third request from Louisiana
to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and
NESHAPs delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below,
Louisiana’s request included NSPS in
40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40
CFR parts 61 and 63, as amended
between July 2, 2009 and July 1, 2012.
By letter dated August 28, 2014, EPA
received a fourth request from Louisiana
to update LDEQ’s NSPS delegation and
NESHAPs delegation. With certain
exceptions noted in section VI below,
Louisiana’s request included NSPS in
40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40
CFR part 61 and 63, as amended
between July 2, 2012 and July 1, 2013.

VI. What is not being delegated?
The following part 60, 61 and 63
authorities listed below are not
delegated. All of the inquiries and
requests concerning implementation
and enforcement of the excluded
standards in the State of Louisiana
should be directed to the EPA Region 6
Office.
• 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA
(Standards of Performance for New
Residential Wood Heaters);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Underground Uranium
Mines);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National
Emission Standards for Emissions of
Radionuclides Other Than Radon From
Department of Energy Facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Federal Facilities Other
Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart
H);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National
Emission Standards for Radionuclide
Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus
Plants);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Department of Energy
facilities);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Phosphogypsum
Stacks);
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium
Mill Tailings); and
• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National
Emission Standards for Radon
Emissions from Operating Mill
Tailings).
In addition, 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 Non-Opacity 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. Also, some Part 63 standards
have certain provisions that cannot be
delegated to the States. Therefore, any
Part 63 standard that EPA is delegating
to LDEQ 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
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.
In addition, this delegation to LDEQ
to implement and enforce certain NSPS
and 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 NSPS and
NESHAPs in Indian country because
LDEQ 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 be made?
In approving the NSPS delegation,
LDEQ will obtain concurrence from EPA
on any matter involving the
interpretation of section 111 of the CAA
or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that
application, implementation,
administration, or enforcement of these
provisions have not been covered by
prior EPA determinations or guidance.
See 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 1982).
In approving the NESHAPs
delegation, LDEQ will obtain
concurrence from EPA on any matter
involving the interpretation of section
112 of the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and
63 to the extent that application,
implementation, administration, or
enforcement of these provisions have
not been covered by prior EPA
determinations or guidance.
VIII. What authority does EPA have?
We retain the right, as provided by
CAA section 111(c)(2), to enforce any
applicable emission standard or
requirement under section 111.
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
LDEQ some of these authorities, and
retaining others, as explained in
sections V and VI above. In addition,
EPA may review and disapprove State
determinations and subsequently
require corrections. (See 40 CFR

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.
Finally, we retain the authorities
stated in the original delegation
agreement. See 47 FR 07665 (February
22, 1982).
IX. What information must LDEQ
provide to EPA?
Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all
notifications under NSPS must be sent
to both EPA and to LDEQ. Please send
notifications and reports to Chief, Air/
Toxics Inspection and Coordination
Branch at the EPA Region 6 office.
LDEQ 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, LDEQ must
submit to EPA Region 6, on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations
issued under these authorities. For 40
CFR parts 61 and 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

X. What is EPA’s oversight role?
EPA must oversee LDEQ’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 LDEQ
made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards,
then LDEQ 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.
Also see 47 FR 07665 (February 22,
1982).

XI. Should sources submit notices to
EPA or LDEQ?
All of the information required
pursuant to the Federal NSPS and
NESHAPs (40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63)
should be submitted by sources located
outside of Indian country directly to the
LDEQ at the following address:
Louisiana Department of Environmental
Quality, PO Box 4301, Baton Rouge,
Louisiana 70821–4301. The LDEQ is the
primary point of contact with respect to
delegated NSPS and 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 LDEQ, in accordance with
40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii).
Also, see 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986).
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 LDEQ in the future?
In the future, LDEQ will only need to
send a letter of request to update their
delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those
NSPS which they have adopted by
reference. EPA will amend the relevant
portions of the Code of Federal
Regulations showing which NSPS
standards have been delegated to LDEQ.
Also, in the future, LDEQ will only need
to send a letter of request for approval
to EPA, Region 6, for those NESHAPs
regulations that LDEQ 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 the request
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:15 Feb 23, 2015
Jkt 235001
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 LDEQ.
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 August 24, 1994, for the
proposed interim approval of LDEQ’s
Title V operating permits program; and
on April 7, 1995, for the proposed final
approval of LDEQ’s Title V operating
permits program. In EPA’s final full
approval of Louisiana’s Operating
Permits Program (60 FR 47296), 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 LDEQ’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
Louisiana’s 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 NESHAPs delegation of
authority described in this action if
adverse comments are received. This
action will be effective April 27, 2015
without further notice unless the
Agency receives relevant adverse
comments by March 26, 2015.
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 with respect to the updated
NESHAPs delegation. 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,
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4700

we may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of a
relevant adverse comment.

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
(Pub. L. 104–4).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the
delegation is not approved to apply in
Indian country located in the State, and
the EPA notes that it will not 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
E:\FR\FM\24FER1.SGM
24FER1
9617
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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 April 27, 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)).

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What does this action do?
EPA is providing notice that it is delegating authority for
implementation and enforcement of certain NSPS to LDEQ. EPA is also
taking direct final action to approve the delegation of certain NESHAPs
to LDEQ. With this delegation, LDEQ has the primary responsibility to
implement and enforce the delegated standards.
II. What is the authority for delegation?
Section 111(c)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) authorizes EPA to
delegate authority to any state agency which submits adequate
regulatory procedures for implementation and enforcement of the NSPS
program. The NSPS standards are codified at 40 CFR part 60.
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 an
adequate regulatory program for implementation and enforcement of
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants. The hazardous air
pollutant standards are codified at 40 CFR parts 61 and 63.
III. What criteria must Louisiana's programs meet to be approved?
In order to receive delegation of NSPS, a state must develop and
submit to the EPA a procedure for implementing and enforcing the NSPS
in the state, and their regulations and resources must be adequate for
the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS. EPA initially approved
Louisiana's program for the delegation of NSPS on February 22, 1982 (47
FR 07665). EPA reviewed the laws of the State and the rules and
regulations of the Louisiana Department of Natural Resources (now the
LDEQ) and determined the State's procedures, regulations and resources
adequate for the implementation and enforcement of the NSPS program.
This action notifies the public that EPA is updating LDEQ's delegation
to implement and enforce certain additional NSPS.
As to the NESHAP standards in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, section
112(l)(5) 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 governs EPA's approval of State
programs or rules under section 112(l).
EPA will approve the State's submittal of a program for
implementation and enforcement of the NESHAPs 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), a State must demonstrate that it meets the approval
criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d). 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 (sources required to obtain operating
permits pursuant to Title V of the Clean Air Act).
IV. How did LDEQ meet the approval criteria?
As to the NSPS standards in 40 CFR part 60, LDEQ adopted the
Federal standards via incorporation by reference. The LDEQ regulations
are, therefore, at least as stringent as EPA's rules. See 40 CFR
60.10(a). Also, in the EPA initial approval of NSPS delegation, we
determined that the State developed procedures for implementing and
enforcing the NSPS in the State, and that the State's regulations and
resources are adequate for the implementation and enforcement of the
NSPS program. See 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 1982).
As to the NESHAP standards in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of
its Title V submission LDEQ stated that it intended to use the
mechanism of incorporation by reference to adopt unchanged Federal
section 112 standards into its regulations. This commitment applied to
both existing and future standards as they applied to part 70 sources.
EPA's final interim approval of Louisiana's Title V operating permits
program delegated the authority to implement certain NESHAPs to the
State. See 60 FR 17750 (April 7, 1995). EPA promulgated final full
approval of the State's operating permits program on September 12,
1995. See 60 FR 42296. These interim and final title V program
approvals satisfy the upfront approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d).
Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a state has satisfied the up-front
approval criteria, it needs only to reference the previous
demonstration and reaffirm that it still meets the criteria for any
subsequent submittals for delegation of the section 112 standards. LDEQ
has affirmed that it still meets the up-front approval criteria.
V. What is being delegated?
By letter dated November 30, 2010, EPA received a request from
Louisiana to update LDEQ's NSPS delegation and NESHAPs delegation. With
certain exceptions noted in section VI below, LDEQ's request included
NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 CFR part 61 and 63, as
amended between July 2, 2008 and July 1, 2009.
By letter dated May 28, 2013, EPA received a second request from
Louisiana to update LDEQ's NSPS delegation. Louisiana's request only
included NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOOO, Standards of Performance
for Crude Oil and Natural Gas Production, Transmission and
Distribution, as promulgated by EPA on August 16, 2012 (77 FR 49490).
By letter dated June 21, 2013, EPA received a third request from
Louisiana to update LDEQ's NSPS delegation and NESHAPs delegation. With
certain exceptions noted in section VI below, Louisiana's request
included NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 CFR parts 61 and 63,
as amended between July 2, 2009 and July 1, 2012.
By letter dated August 28, 2014, EPA received a fourth request from
Louisiana to update LDEQ's NSPS delegation and NESHAPs delegation. With
certain exceptions noted in section VI below, Louisiana's request
included NSPS in 40 CFR part 60, and NESHAPs in 40 CFR part 61 and 63,
as amended between July 2, 2012 and July 1, 2013.
[[Page 9615]]
VI. What is not being delegated?
The following part 60, 61 and 63 authorities listed below are not
delegated. All of the inquiries and requests concerning implementation
and enforcement of the excluded standards in the State of Louisiana
should be directed to the EPA Region 6 Office.
40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA (Standards of Performance for
New Residential Wood Heaters);
40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Underground Uranium Mines);
40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National Emission Standards for
Emissions of Radionuclides Other Than Radon From Department of Energy
Facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Federal Facilities Other Than Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart H);
40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National Emission Standards for
Radionuclide Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus Plants);
40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Department of Energy facilities);
40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Phosphogypsum Stacks);
40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium Mill Tailings); and
40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National Emission Standards for
Radon Emissions from Operating Mill Tailings).
In addition, 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. Also, some Part 63 standards have certain
provisions that cannot be delegated to the States. Therefore, any Part
63 standard that EPA is delegating to LDEQ 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.
In addition, this delegation to LDEQ to implement and enforce
certain NSPS and 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 NSPS and
NESHAPs in Indian country because LDEQ 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 be made?
In approving the NSPS delegation, LDEQ will obtain concurrence from
EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 111 of the
CAA or 40 CFR part 60 to the extent that application, implementation,
administration, or enforcement of these provisions have not been
covered by prior EPA determinations or guidance. See 47 FR 07665
(February 22, 1982).
In approving the NESHAPs delegation, LDEQ will obtain concurrence
from EPA on any matter involving the interpretation of section 112 of
the CAA or 40 CFR parts 61 and 63 to the extent that application,
implementation, administration, or enforcement of these provisions have
not been covered by prior EPA determinations or guidance.
VIII. What authority does EPA have?
We retain the right, as provided by CAA section 111(c)(2), to
enforce any applicable emission standard or requirement under section
111.
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 LDEQ some of
these authorities, and retaining others, as explained in sections V and
VI above. In addition, EPA may review and disapprove 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.
Finally, we retain the authorities stated in the original
delegation agreement. See 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 1982).
IX. What information must LDEQ provide to EPA?
Under 40 CFR 60.4(b), all notifications under NSPS must be sent to
both EPA and to LDEQ. Please send notifications and reports to Chief,
Air/Toxics Inspection and Coordination Branch at the EPA Region 6
office.
LDEQ 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, LDEQ must submit to EPA Region
6, on a semi-annual basis, copies of determinations issued under these
authorities. For 40 CFR parts 61 and 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
[[Page 9616]]
Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4),
Extension of Performance Test Deadline.
X. What is EPA's oversight role?
EPA must oversee LDEQ'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 LDEQ made decisions that decreased the
stringency of the delegated standards, then LDEQ 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. Also see 47 FR 07665 (February 22, 1982).
XI. Should sources submit notices to EPA or LDEQ?
All of the information required pursuant to the Federal NSPS and
NESHAPs (40 CFR parts 60, 61 and 63) should be submitted by sources
located outside of Indian country directly to the LDEQ at the following
address: Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality, PO Box 4301,
Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70821-4301. The LDEQ is the primary point of
contact with respect to delegated NSPS and 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 LDEQ, in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and
63.10(a)(4)(ii). Also, see 51 FR 20648 (June 6, 1986). 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 LDEQ in the future?
In the future, LDEQ will only need to send a letter of request to
update their delegation to EPA, Region 6, for those NSPS which they
have adopted by reference. EPA will amend the relevant portions of the
Code of Federal Regulations showing which NSPS standards have been
delegated to LDEQ. Also, in the future, LDEQ will only need to send a
letter of request for approval to EPA, Region 6, for those NESHAPs
regulations that LDEQ 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 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 LDEQ.
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 August 24, 1994, for
the proposed interim approval of LDEQ's Title V operating permits
program; and on April 7, 1995, for the proposed final approval of
LDEQ's Title V operating permits program. In EPA's final full approval
of Louisiana's Operating Permits Program (60 FR 47296), 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 LDEQ'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 Louisiana's 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 NESHAPs delegation of authority described in
this action if adverse comments are received. This action will be
effective April 27, 2015 without further notice unless the Agency
receives relevant adverse comments by March 26, 2015.
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 with respect to the updated NESHAPs delegation. 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 (Pub. L. 104-4).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the delegation is not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the State, and the EPA notes that it will not 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
[[Page 9617]]
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 April 27, 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)).
