revise the Michigan state
implementation plan (SIP) to
incorporate sulfur dioxide (SO2) limits
found in Michigan’s Air Pollution
Control Rules at Chapter 336, Part 4,
‘‘Emissions Limitations and
Prohibitions—Sulfur Bearing
Compounds.’’ EPA will take no action
on the provisions pertaining to the
Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
SO2 trading program because CAIR is no
longer in effect.

I. What is the background for this
action?
On February 14, 2014, and October
27, 2014, MDEQ submitted a request to
incorporate revisions to the Part 4 rule
in Michigan’s SO2 SIP. Specifically, the
revisions to the Part 4 rule includes the
removal of obsolete rule language,
added definitions, and the consolidation
of certain provisions for sources located
in Wayne County.
MDEQ published a Notice of Public
Information in several newspapers and
provided a 30-day public comment
period on September 30, 2012, October
E:\FR\FM\17APR1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
1, 2012, and December 2, 2013,
respectively. No public comments were
received.
On May 31, 1972 (37 FR 10873), EPA
approved the Part 4 sulfur limits into
the Michigan SIP. The sulfur limits
apply statewide, and reduce emissions
of SO2 from the following sources: (1)
Fuel burning equipment at power
plants, (2) fuel burning equipment at a
stationary source other than power
plants, (3) oil and natural gas producing
or transportation facilities and natural
gas processing facilities, and (4) sulfuric
acid plants. In the same action, EPA
approved the Wayne County Air Quality
Management Division (WCAQMD)
Ordinance—Air Pollution Control (APC)
regulation for SO2, ‘‘Article VI, Section
6.3, Emissions Limitations and
Prohibitions—Sulfur Bearing
Compounds’’ rule, thereby
incorporating additional sulfur limits
for Wayne County sources into the
Michigan SIP. The WCAQMD APC
regulation is more stringent than the
state’s Part 4 rule because it includes
requirements to control sulfur bearing
compound emissions from sulfuric acid
plants, sulfur recovery plants, and
hydrogen sulfide facilities. This rule
became effective in Wayne County on
July 23, 1965.
On May 6, 1980 (45 FR 29790), EPA
approved specific portions of the state
of Michigan’s April 25, 1979, SIP
submittal, to satisfy the requirements of
part D of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for
SO2. In the same action, EPA approved
minor revisions to the SO2 regulations
in the WCAQMD Ordinance (1969) to
adjust sulfur limits for burning fuel oil.
In September 2001, the Wayne County
Department of Public Health closed the
WCAQMD and ended its air pollution
program. As a result of this action,
Wayne County’s air pollution control
ordinance was repealed. Although
WCAQMD no longer operates as the air
pollution control agency for Wayne
County, the SO2 regulations established
for sources located in Wayne County
remained part of the Federally-approved
SIP for Michigan.

II. What did Michigan submit?
MDEQ made revisions to the Part 4
rule with the intent to improve rule
clarity. MDEQ has requested that we act
on the following revisions to Part 4:
R336.1401a (Rule 401a), Definitions
MDEQ determined that adding
definitions for three terms would clarify
the language in Part 4. Rule 401a
includes definitions for the following
terms: (a) Power plant, (b) sulfur
recovery plant, and (c) used oil.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:14 Apr 16, 2015
Jkt 235001
The term ‘‘power plant’’ means a
single structure devoted to steam or
electric generation, or both, and may
contain multiple boilers.
A ‘‘sulfur recovery plant’’ is any plant
that recovers elemental sulfur from any
gas stream.
The term ‘‘used oil’’ means any fuel
that is produced from used oil, as
defined in R 299.9109(p). To allow
incorporation by reference of the
definition contained in R 299.9109(p)
into the new definition of ‘‘used oil,’’
MDEQ requested in an October 27,
2014, supplement to its submission that
EPA approve R 299.9109(p) into the
Michigan SIP. Rule R 299.9109(p), in
the Hazardous Waste Management
regulations of Michigan’s
Administrative Code, states, ‘‘used oil
means any oil which has been refined
from crude oil, or any synthetic oil,
which has been used and which as a
result of the use, is contaminated by
physical or chemical impurities.’’ EPA
finds that inclusion of the definition of
used oil at R 299.9109(p) is consistent
with the Federal used oil regulation in
40 CFR part 279 (subpart A,
Definitions). Rule 299.9109(p) became
effective in Michigan on September 11,
2000.
EPA finds these revisions acceptable
for approval into the Michigan SIP.
R336.1401 (Rule 401); ‘‘Emission Sulfur
Dioxide From Power Plants’’
The existing rule 401 addressed SO2
emissions from power plants. Table 41
and Table 42, respectively, contain
percent sulfur-in-fuel and equivalent
SO2 concentration limits. To streamline
the structure of rule 401, MDEQ
combined the equivalent SO2
concentration limits in Table 42 with
the percent sulfur-in-fuel limits in Table
41, and thus, developed a ‘‘new’’ Table
41—‘‘Fuel and SO2 Emission
Limitations for Power Plants.’’ This
change did not revise the existing
emission limits for SO2.
Subsections (1a) and (2) through (7) of
the existing rule 401 included interim
requirements which allowed existing
sources an extension of time, until
January 1, 1980, for compliance. The
state has requested removal of the
obsolete rule language.
To improve clarity, MDEQ added a
‘‘new’’ Table 42 into rule 401 applicable
to power plants located in Wayne
County. MDEQ did not revise any of the
sulfur limits applicable to sources in
Wayne County in this SIP revision.
Lastly, the revisions to rule 401 add
requirements for power plants in Wayne
County that burn used oil. The
requirements for burning used oil at
power plants provide a percent sulfur-
PO 00000
Frm 00032
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
in-fuel and equivalent SO2
concentration limits. Rule 401 limits the
maximum sulfur content for burning
used oil to one percent, and the
equivalent SO2 concentration limit is
300 parts per million by volume (ppmv).
The SO2 concentration limit of 300
ppmv, by comparison, is more stringent
than the existing SIP limit of 400 ppmv
for power plants in Wayne County
burning crude and heavy fuel oils.
EPA finds the revisions acceptable for
approval into Michigan’s SIP.
R336.1402 (Rule 402), Emissions
Limitation of SO2 From Fuel-burning
Equipment at Stationary Sources Other
Than Power Plants
The existing SIP contains emission
limitations and prohibitions on emitting
SO2 from fuel-burning equipment at
stationary sources other than power
plants. MDEQ’s submission will move
the fuel and SO2 concentration
limitations applicable only to fuelburning equipment at stationary sources
located in Wayne County, other than
power plants, into rule 402. MDEQ also
amended rule 402, adding sub-rules
402(3)—402(5). These sub-rules address
the applicability determination, sulfur–
in-fuel content and equivalent SO2
concentration limitations, and
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for fuel-burning
equipment at Wayne County stationary
sources other than power plants.
MDEQ did not revise any of the
requirements that apply to fuel-burning
equipment at stationary sources located
in Wayne County, other than power
plants, in this SIP revision. EPA finds
these revisions acceptable for approval
into Michigan’s SIP.
R336.1404 (rule 404), Emission
Limitation of SO2 and Sulfuric Acid
Mist From Sulfuric Acid Plants
The existing SIP addresses emission
of sulfur bearing compounds from
sulfuric acid plants.
Similar to rules 401 and 402, MDEQ
amended rule 404 by incorporating the
sulfur limit applicable to sulfuric acid
plants located in Wayne County into
rule 404. Thus, any sulfuric acid plants
located in Wayne County must continue
to comply with the SO2 concentration
emission limitation of 6.5 pounds of
acid produced.
MDEQ did not revise any of the
requirements that apply to sulfuric acid
plants located in Wayne County in this
SIP revision. EPA finds these revisions
acceptable for approval into Michigan’s
SIP.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
R336.1405 (Rule 405), R336.1406 (Rule
406), and R336.1407 (Rule 407)
MDEQ amended Part 4 by adding
rules 405, 406, and 407 to address
emission of sulfur compounds from
certain types of facilities or operations
at a stationary source located within
Wayne County. Rule 405 specifies
various sulfur compound emission
limits applicable sulfur recovery plants.
Rule 406 contains prohibitions on
hydrogen sulfide emissions from
sources located in Wayne County. Rule
407 contains sulfur compound limits
that apply to any process and fuel
burning equipment at Wayne County
stationary sources not otherwise
addressed in Part 4.
MDEQ did not revise any of the sulfur
limits that apply to plants located in
Wayne County. The revisions to Part 4
centrally locates all the sulfur limits
approved in the Michigan SIP in one
place. The revisions also expand the
applicability of the rule to restrict the
emission of SO2 from fuel-burning
equipment.
EPA is approving Michigan’s Part 4
SIP revision as it relates to Rule 401a,
Rule 401, Rule 402, Rule 404, Rule 405,
Rule 406, and Rule 407. However, EPA
is taking no action, at this time, on
MDEQ’s revision to R 336.1420 (Rule
420), pertaining to the Federal CAIR SO2
trading program which is no longer in
effect. The portion of the SIP revision
submission that relates to CAIR is
severable, and does not affect the
stringency of the remainder of the SIP
submission which EPA is approving
into the Michigan SIP.

III. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is approving Michigan’s
February 14, 2014, and October 27,
2014, requests to revise Michigan’s SIP
revision to incorporate SO2 limits found
in Michigan’s Air Pollution Control
Rules at Chapter 336, Part 4, ‘‘Emissions
Limitations and Prohibitions—Sulfur
Bearing Compounds.’’ EPA is approving
this rule for administrative and SIP
strengthening purposes. EPA will take
no action on the provisions pertaining
to the Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) SO2 trading program because
CAIR is no longer in effect. EPA is also
approving Michigan rule 299.9109,
which defines the term ‘‘used oil’’ into
Michigan’s SIP.
The revision provides clarity to the
Part 4 rule by adding definitions,
removing obsolete language, and
streamlining the structure of the rule by
consolidating into Part 4 provisions
relating to sources located in Wayne
County. EPA also is approving MDEQ’s
SIP revision that removes obsolete

language referring to the WCAQMD
Ordinance (1969) from the Michigan
SIP.
It should be noted that EPA is not
taking action in this document to
address compliance with the 2010
national ambient air quality standard for
SO2. SIPs addressing current
nonattainment areas in the state for the
2010 SO2 standard are due April 4,
2015, and will be addressed in a
separate rulemaking.
We are publishing this action without
prior proposal because we view this as
a noncontroversial amendment and
anticipate no adverse comments.
However, in the proposed rules section
of this Federal Register publication, we
are publishing a separate document that
will serve as the proposal to approve the
state plan in part if relevant adverse
written comments are filed. This rule
will be effective June 16, 2015 without
further notice unless we receive relevant
adverse written comments by May 18,
2015. If we receive such comments, we
will withdraw this action before the
effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will
withdraw the final action. We then will
address all public comments in a
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed action. The EPA will not
institute a second comment period. Any
parties interested in commenting on this
action should do so at this time. Please
note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision can be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment. If we do not receive any
comments, this action will be effective
June 16, 2015.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
by reference of the Michigan regulations
described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available
electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or in hard
copy at the appropriate EPA office (see
the ADDRESSES section of this preamble
for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
PO 00000
Frm 00033
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
21185
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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, the SIP 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 74 / Friday, April 17, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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 action 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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by June 16, 2015. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed, and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action
published in the proposed rules section
of this Federal Register, rather than file
an immediate petition for judicial
review of this direct final rule, so that
EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2)).

ACTION: Final rule; Order reestablishing
and amending tolerances.
AGENCY:
EPA is amending its
regulations to reinstate four import
tolerances for carbofuran, in order to
comply with a DC Circuit decision and
order vacating the Agency’s revocation
of those tolerances. EPA is also
removing several carbofuran timelimited tolerances that have already
expired. Because this action is being
taken to conform the regulations to the
court’s order and to accurately reflect
the current legal status of these
tolerances, EPA is issuing this as a final
order that is effective upon publication.
DATES: Effective April 17, 2015.

Circuit in National Corn Growers
Association v. EPA, 613 F.3d 266 (D.C.
Cir. 2010). EPA is also amending 40 CFR
part 180 to delete the listings of other
carbofuran tolerances that have expired,
and thus are no longer valid.
IV. Why is EPA taking this action?
In the Federal Register of July 31,
2008 (73 FR 44864) (FRL–8373–8), EPA
proposed to revoke all carbofuran
tolerances and provided a 60-day public
comment period. The revocations were
based on an Agency determination that
the risk from aggregate exposure from
the use of carbofuran did not meet the
safety standard of FFDCA section
408(b)(2). In the Federal Register of May
15, 2009 (74 FR 23046) (FRL–8413–3),
EPA finalized the revocation of all of the
carbofuran tolerances, effective
December 31, 2009. During the objection
period, the carbofuran registrant, FMC
Corporation, and three grower
associations (National Corn Growers
Association, National Sunflower
Association, and National Potato
Council) submitted objections to EPA’s
tolerance revocations and requested an
administrative hearing. EPA concluded
that the regulatory standard for holding
an evidentiary hearing had not been met
and issued an order in the Federal
Register of November 18, 2009 (74 FR
59608) (FRL–8797–6), which denied the
objections and requests for hearing and
included the Agency’s reasons.
FMC Corporation, in conjunction with
the three grower associations,
challenged EPA’s decision in the Court
of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The
court upheld EPA’s revocation of all
carbofuran domestic tolerances and
denial of the hearing requests, but
vacated EPA’s revocation of the four
import tolerances (bananas, coffee, rice,
and sugarcane). The Court of Appeals
for the D.C. Circuit also denied the
subsequent petition filed by FMC and

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Michigan; SO2 Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a
request by the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality (MDEQ)
submitted on February 14, 2014, and supplemented on October 27, 2014,
to revise the Michigan state implementation plan (SIP) to incorporate
sulfur dioxide (SO2) limits found in Michigan's Air
Pollution Control Rules at Chapter 336, Part 4, ``Emissions Limitations
and Prohibitions--Sulfur Bearing Compounds.'' EPA will take no action
on the provisions pertaining to the Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) SO2 trading program because CAIR is no longer in
effect.
DATES: This direct final rule will be effective June 16, 2015, unless
EPA receives adverse comments by May 18, 2015. If adverse comments are
received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not
take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''

section is arranged as follows:
I. What is the background for this action?
II. What did Michigan submit?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Orders Reviews
I. What is the background for this action?
On February 14, 2014, and October 27, 2014, MDEQ submitted a
request to incorporate revisions to the Part 4 rule in Michigan's
SO2 SIP. Specifically, the revisions to the Part 4 rule
includes the removal of obsolete rule language, added definitions, and
the consolidation of certain provisions for sources located in Wayne
County.
MDEQ published a Notice of Public Information in several newspapers
and provided a 30-day public comment period on September 30, 2012,
October
[[Page 21184]]
1, 2012, and December 2, 2013, respectively. No public comments were
received.
On May 31, 1972 (37 FR 10873), EPA approved the Part 4 sulfur
limits into the Michigan SIP. The sulfur limits apply statewide, and
reduce emissions of SO2 from the following sources: (1) Fuel
burning equipment at power plants, (2) fuel burning equipment at a
stationary source other than power plants, (3) oil and natural gas
producing or transportation facilities and natural gas processing
facilities, and (4) sulfuric acid plants. In the same action, EPA
approved the Wayne County Air Quality Management Division (WCAQMD)
Ordinance--Air Pollution Control (APC) regulation for SO2,
``Article VI, Section 6.3, Emissions Limitations and Prohibitions--
Sulfur Bearing Compounds'' rule, thereby incorporating additional
sulfur limits for Wayne County sources into the Michigan SIP. The
WCAQMD APC regulation is more stringent than the state's Part 4 rule
because it includes requirements to control sulfur bearing compound
emissions from sulfuric acid plants, sulfur recovery plants, and
hydrogen sulfide facilities. This rule became effective in Wayne County
on July 23, 1965.
On May 6, 1980 (45 FR 29790), EPA approved specific portions of the
state of Michigan's April 25, 1979, SIP submittal, to satisfy the
requirements of part D of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for SO2.
In the same action, EPA approved minor revisions to the SO2
regulations in the WCAQMD Ordinance (1969) to adjust sulfur limits for
burning fuel oil.
In September 2001, the Wayne County Department of Public Health
closed the WCAQMD and ended its air pollution program. As a result of
this action, Wayne County's air pollution control ordinance was
repealed. Although WCAQMD no longer operates as the air pollution
control agency for Wayne County, the SO2 regulations
established for sources located in Wayne County remained part of the
Federally-approved SIP for Michigan.
II. What did Michigan submit?
MDEQ made revisions to the Part 4 rule with the intent to improve
rule clarity. MDEQ has requested that we act on the following revisions
to Part 4:
R336.1401a (Rule 401a), Definitions
MDEQ determined that adding definitions for three terms would
clarify the language in Part 4. Rule 401a includes definitions for the
following terms: (a) Power plant, (b) sulfur recovery plant, and (c)
used oil.
The term ``power plant'' means a single structure devoted to steam
or electric generation, or both, and may contain multiple boilers.
A ``sulfur recovery plant'' is any plant that recovers elemental
sulfur from any gas stream.
The term ``used oil'' means any fuel that is produced from used
oil, as defined in R 299.9109(p). To allow incorporation by reference
of the definition contained in R 299.9109(p) into the new definition of
``used oil,'' MDEQ requested in an October 27, 2014, supplement to its
submission that EPA approve R 299.9109(p) into the Michigan SIP. Rule R
299.9109(p), in the Hazardous Waste Management regulations of
Michigan's Administrative Code, states, ``used oil means any oil which
has been refined from crude oil, or any synthetic oil, which has been
used and which as a result of the use, is contaminated by physical or
chemical impurities.'' EPA finds that inclusion of the definition of
used oil at R 299.9109(p) is consistent with the Federal used oil
regulation in 40 CFR part 279 (subpart A, Definitions). Rule
299.9109(p) became effective in Michigan on September 11, 2000.
EPA finds these revisions acceptable for approval into the Michigan
SIP.
R336.1401 (Rule 401); ``Emission Sulfur Dioxide From Power Plants''
The existing rule 401 addressed SO2 emissions from power
plants. Table 41 and Table 42, respectively, contain percent sulfur-in-
fuel and equivalent SO2 concentration limits. To streamline
the structure of rule 401, MDEQ combined the equivalent SO2
concentration limits in Table 42 with the percent sulfur-in-fuel limits
in Table 41, and thus, developed a ``new'' Table 41--``Fuel and
SO2 Emission Limitations for Power Plants.'' This change did
not revise the existing emission limits for SO2.
Subsections (1a) and (2) through (7) of the existing rule 401
included interim requirements which allowed existing sources an
extension of time, until January 1, 1980, for compliance. The state has
requested removal of the obsolete rule language.
To improve clarity, MDEQ added a ``new'' Table 42 into rule 401
applicable to power plants located in Wayne County. MDEQ did not revise
any of the sulfur limits applicable to sources in Wayne County in this
SIP revision. Lastly, the revisions to rule 401 add requirements for
power plants in Wayne County that burn used oil. The requirements for
burning used oil at power plants provide a percent sulfur-in-fuel and
equivalent SO2 concentration limits. Rule 401 limits the
maximum sulfur content for burning used oil to one percent, and the
equivalent SO2 concentration limit is 300 parts per million
by volume (ppmv). The SO2 concentration limit of 300 ppmv,
by comparison, is more stringent than the existing SIP limit of 400
ppmv for power plants in Wayne County burning crude and heavy fuel
oils.
EPA finds the revisions acceptable for approval into Michigan's
SIP.
R336.1402 (Rule 402), Emissions Limitation of SO2 From Fuel-
burning Equipment at Stationary Sources Other Than Power Plants
The existing SIP contains emission limitations and prohibitions on
emitting SO2 from fuel-burning equipment at stationary
sources other than power plants. MDEQ's submission will move the fuel
and SO2 concentration limitations applicable only to fuel-
burning equipment at stationary sources located in Wayne County, other
than power plants, into rule 402. MDEQ also amended rule 402, adding
sub-rules 402(3)--402(5). These sub-rules address the applicability
determination, sulfur-in-fuel content and equivalent SO2
concentration limitations, and recordkeeping and reporting requirements
for fuel-burning equipment at Wayne County stationary sources other
than power plants.
MDEQ did not revise any of the requirements that apply to fuel-
burning equipment at stationary sources located in Wayne County, other
than power plants, in this SIP revision. EPA finds these revisions
acceptable for approval into Michigan's SIP.
R336.1404 (rule 404), Emission Limitation of SO2 and
Sulfuric Acid Mist From Sulfuric Acid Plants
The existing SIP addresses emission of sulfur bearing compounds
from sulfuric acid plants.
Similar to rules 401 and 402, MDEQ amended rule 404 by
incorporating the sulfur limit applicable to sulfuric acid plants
located in Wayne County into rule 404. Thus, any sulfuric acid plants
located in Wayne County must continue to comply with the SO2
concentration emission limitation of 6.5 pounds of acid produced.
MDEQ did not revise any of the requirements that apply to sulfuric
acid plants located in Wayne County in this SIP revision. EPA finds
these revisions acceptable for approval into Michigan's SIP.
[[Page 21185]]
R336.1405 (Rule 405), R336.1406 (Rule 406), and R336.1407 (Rule 407)
MDEQ amended Part 4 by adding rules 405, 406, and 407 to address
emission of sulfur compounds from certain types of facilities or
operations at a stationary source located within Wayne County. Rule 405
specifies various sulfur compound emission limits applicable sulfur
recovery plants. Rule 406 contains prohibitions on hydrogen sulfide
emissions from sources located in Wayne County. Rule 407 contains
sulfur compound limits that apply to any process and fuel burning
equipment at Wayne County stationary sources not otherwise addressed in
Part 4.
MDEQ did not revise any of the sulfur limits that apply to plants
located in Wayne County. The revisions to Part 4 centrally locates all
the sulfur limits approved in the Michigan SIP in one place. The
revisions also expand the applicability of the rule to restrict the
emission of SO2 from fuel-burning equipment.
EPA is approving Michigan's Part 4 SIP revision as it relates to
Rule 401a, Rule 401, Rule 402, Rule 404, Rule 405, Rule 406, and Rule
407. However, EPA is taking no action, at this time, on MDEQ's revision
to R 336.1420 (Rule 420), pertaining to the Federal CAIR SO2
trading program which is no longer in effect. The portion of the SIP
revision submission that relates to CAIR is severable, and does not
affect the stringency of the remainder of the SIP submission which EPA
is approving into the Michigan SIP.
III. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is approving Michigan's February 14, 2014, and October 27,
2014, requests to revise Michigan's SIP revision to incorporate
SO2 limits found in Michigan's Air Pollution Control Rules
at Chapter 336, Part 4, ``Emissions Limitations and Prohibitions--
Sulfur Bearing Compounds.'' EPA is approving this rule for
administrative and SIP strengthening purposes. EPA will take no action
on the provisions pertaining to the Federal Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) SO2 trading program because CAIR is no longer in
effect. EPA is also approving Michigan rule 299.9109, which defines the
term ``used oil'' into Michigan's SIP.
The revision provides clarity to the Part 4 rule by adding
definitions, removing obsolete language, and streamlining the structure
of the rule by consolidating into Part 4 provisions relating to sources
located in Wayne County. EPA also is approving MDEQ's SIP revision that
removes obsolete language referring to the WCAQMD Ordinance (1969) from
the Michigan SIP.
It should be noted that EPA is not taking action in this document
to address compliance with the 2010 national ambient air quality
standard for SO2. SIPs addressing current nonattainment
areas in the state for the 2010 SO2 standard are due April
4, 2015, and will be addressed in a separate rulemaking.
We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan in part if relevant
adverse written comments are filed. This rule will be effective June
16, 2015 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse
written comments by May 18, 2015. If we receive such comments, we will
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. We then will
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at
this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision can
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective June
16, 2015.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Michigan
regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or
in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section
of this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
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, the SIP 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 and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement
[[Page 21186]]
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 action 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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by June 16, 2015. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of this Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
