B. Are there other versions of these
documents and the rule?
There are no previous submitted
versions of FRAQMD’s 2006, 2009, and
2014 RACT SIPs. For Rule 3.8, we
approved an early version: The Sutter
County Rule 3.08(3.8), ‘‘Storage and
Transfer of Gasoline’’, on May 3, 1982
(47 FR 18856). With the formation of
FRAQMD in 1991, this rule was adopted
with identical language in June 1991 to
apply beyond just Sutter County to the
entire larger FRAQMD area.
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
C. What is the purpose of the RACT SIP
submissions and the submitted rule
revision?
VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NOX) help
produce ground-level ozone and smog,
which harm human health and the
environment. Section 110(a) of the CAA
requires states to submit enforceable
regulations that control VOC and NOX
emissions. Sections 182(b)(2) and (f)
require that SIPs for ozone
nonattainment areas classified as
moderate or above require
implementation of RACT for any source
covered by an EPA Control Techniques
Guidance (CTG) document and any
other major stationary source of VOCs or
NOX. FRAQMD is subject to this
requirement as the southern part of
Sutter County in FRAQMD is designated
and classified as a severe ozone
nonattainment area for the 1997 and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Jul 07, 2015
Jkt 235001
2008 8-hour NAAQS for ozone (see 40
CFR 81.305). Therefore, FRAQMD must,
at a minimum, adopt RACT-level
controls for all sources covered by a
CTG document and for all major nonCTG stationary sources of VOCs or NOX
in south Sutter County. The District
adopted its 2006 RACT SIP, with
negative declarations, on December 4,
2006. FRAQMD adopted its 2009 RACT
SIP revision, which included negative
declarations for 11 new or updated
CTGs issued from 2006 to 2008, on June
1, 2009. FRAQMD adopted its 2014
RACT SIP, with negative declarations,
on August 2014. No comments were
received on any of the three RACT SIP
demonstrations. Along with the 2014
RACT SIP adoption, FRAQMD adopted
Rule 3.8 which is designed to limit VOC
emissions from displaced gasoline
vapors while transferring gasoline into
storage tanks and transport vessels. This
rule is intended to fully satisfy the CTG
design criteria for Stage I vapor control
systems.
II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action
A. How is EPA evaluating the RACT SIP
submissions and the submitted rule
revision?
FRAQMD regulates the Yuba County
and Sutter County portions of the
Sacramento Valley Air Basin. The
southern part of Sutter County is
designated and classified as a severe
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
ozone nonattainment area for the 1997
and 2008 8-hour national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone
(40 CFR 81.305). CAA Section 182(b)(2)
and (f), as well as 40 CFR 51.912(a)(1)
require that SIPs for ozone
nonattainment areas classified as
moderate or above require
implementation of RACT for any source
covered by a CTG document and any
other major stationary source of VOCs or
NOX. Any stationary source that emits
or has a potential to emit at least 25 tons
per year (tpy) of VOCs or NOX in a
severe ozone nonattainment area is
considered a major stationary source
(see CAA sections 182(b(2)) and (f) and
302(j)). Where there are no existing
sources covered by a particular CTG
document or no other major stationary
sources of VOCs or NOX, states may, in
lieu of adopting RACT requirements,
adopt negative declarations certifying
that there are no such sources in the
relevant nonattainment area (see
Memorandum from William T. Harnett
to Regional Air Division Directors, (May
18, 2006), ‘‘RACT Qs & As—Reasonably
Available Control Technology (RACT)
Questions and Answers’’ page 7).
SIP rules must be enforceable (see
CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not
interfere with applicable requirements
concerning attainment and reasonable
further progress or other CAA
requirements (see CAA section 110(l)),
E:\FR\FM\08JYR1.SGM
08JYR1
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 130 / Wednesday, July 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
and must not modify certain SIP control
requirements in nonattainment areas
without ensuring equivalent or greater
emissions reductions (see CAA section
193).
Guidance and policy documents that
we used to evaluate CAA section 182
RACT SIPs for FRAQMD include the
following:
1. ‘‘Final Rule to Implement the 8Hour Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard—Phase 2’’ (70 FR

B. Does the RACT SIP submission meet
the evaluation criteria?
The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs
each includes three elements, as
described further below:
38961
1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX rules
for sources subject to a CTG.
2. Negative declarations where there
are no facilities subject to a CTG.
3. Negative declaration for major nonCTG sources of VOC or NOX.
A summary of our evaluation of each
element is provided below. For
additional information concerning our
evaluation, please refer to the Technical
Support Documents (TSDs) concerning
the 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs and
FRAQMD Rule 3.8, which are available
in the docket for this action.
1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX Rules
for Sources Subject to a CTG
We believe that Rule 3.8 is consistent
with the relevant requirements, as well
as policy and guidance regarding
enforceability, RACT, and SIP
relaxations. We are not aware of
information suggesting that additional
controls are needed to fulfill RACT.
2. Negative Declarations Where There
are no Facilities Subject to a CTG
Negative declarations are only
required for CTG source categories for
which the District has no sources
covered by the CTG. A negative
declaration is not required for non-CTG
source categories. Table 3 below lists
the CTG source categories for the 2006,
2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs. The District
indicated it does not currently have, nor
does it anticipate sources subject to the
CTGs in these categories in the future.
We searched CARB’s emissions
inventory database to verify there are no
facilities in FRAQMD that might be
subject to the CTGs listed below. We
concur with the District’s negative
declarations.

(codified at 40 CFR 51.100(s)(1)).
3. Negative Declaration for Major NonCTG Sources of VOC or NOX
The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs
each included a negative declaration for
major non-CTG sources of VOC and
NOX. EPA agrees that there are no major
non-CTG sources of NOX or VOCs in the
south Sutter County nonattainment area.
4. Conclusion
We find that FRAQMD’s 2006, 2009,
and 2014 RACT SIPs including the
negative declarations and the Rule 3.8
revisions, adequately demonstrate that
they satisfy RACT for the 1997 and 2008
8-hour ozone NAAQS. Our TSDs have
more information on our evaluation of
the three RACT SIP submissions and
Rule 3.8.

C. EPA Recommendations To
Strengthen the RACT SIPs and the Rule
Our TSD for Rule 3.8 describes
additional revisions that we recommend
for the next time FRAQMD modifies the
rule.
D. Public Comment and Final Action
As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of
the Act, EPA is fully approving the
submitted SIP revisions because we
believe they fulfill all relevant
requirements. We do not think anyone
will object to this approval, so we are
finalizing it without proposing it in
advance. However, in the Proposed
Rules section of this Federal Register,
we are simultaneously proposing
approval of the same SIP revisions. If we
receive adverse comments by August 7,
2015, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register to
notify the public that the direct final
approval will not take effect and we will
address the comments in a subsequent
final action based on the proposal. If we
do not receive timely adverse
comments, the direct final approval will
be effective without further notice on
September 8, 2015. This will
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
incorporate these documents and rule
into the federally enforceable SIP.
Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on a specific
provision of this SIP revision and if that
provision may be severed from the
remainder of the SIP revision, EPA may
adopt as final those provisions of the
SIP revision that are not the subject of
an adverse comment.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the 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 FRAQMD rule
described in the amendments to 40 CFR
52 set forth below. EPA has made, and
will continue to make, this document
available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy
at the appropriate EPA office (see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble for
more information).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects with practical,
appropriate, and legally permissible
methods under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIPs and the rule are 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

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 130 / Wednesday, July 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
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
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 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 September 8,
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 today’s 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)).

Revisions to the California State Implementation Plan, Feather
River Air Quality Management District
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct
final action to approve revisions to the Feather River Air Quality
Management District (FRAQMD or the District) portion of the California
State Implementation Plan (SIP). Included in this approval are the
following three SIP demonstrations from FRAQMD: 2006 Reasonably
Available Control Technology (RACT) Analysis for State Implementation
Plan (SIP), November 2006; Reasonably Available Control Technology
State Implementation Plan Revision Negative Declaration for Control
Techniques Guidelines Issued 2006-2008, June 1, 2009 and; Reasonably
Available Control Technology Analysis and Negative Declarations, July
3, 2014. The first two demonstrations address the 1997 8-hour National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone, and the third
demonstration addresses the 2008 8-hour NAAQS for ozone. These
submitted SIP revisions contain FRAQMD's negative declarations for
volatile organic compound (VOC) source categories. We are approving the
submitted SIP revisions under the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA
or the Act). We are also approving a local rule to regulate VOC
emissions from gasoline dispensing facilities.
DATES: This rule is effective on September 8, 2015 without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by August 7, 2015. If we
receive such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the
Federal Register to notify the public that this direct final rule will
not take effect.
ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2015-0164, by one of the following methods:
1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-

The FRAQMD 2006 RACT SIP submittal became complete by operation of
law on January 11, 2008, and the FRAQMD 2009 RACT SIP submittal became
complete by operation of law on April 27, 2010, each pursuant to CAA
section 110(k)(1)(B). On January 23, 2015, EPA determined that the
submittal for the FRAQMD 2014 RACT SIP met the completeness criteria in
40 CFR part 51 Appendix V, which must be met before formal EPA review.
For the rule submitted by the state, Table 2 lists the rule we are
approving with the dates it was adopted by the local air agency and
submitted to EPA by CARB.

B. Are there other versions of these documents and the rule?
There are no previous submitted versions of FRAQMD's 2006, 2009,
and 2014 RACT SIPs. For Rule 3.8, we approved an early version: The
Sutter County Rule 3.08(3.8), ``Storage and Transfer of Gasoline'', on
May 3, 1982 (47 FR 18856). With the formation of FRAQMD in 1991, this
rule was adopted with identical language in June 1991 to apply beyond
just Sutter County to the entire larger FRAQMD area.
C. What is the purpose of the RACT SIP submissions and the submitted
rule revision?
VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NOX) help produce ground-level
ozone and smog, which harm human health and the environment. Section
110(a) of the CAA requires states to submit enforceable regulations
that control VOC and NOX emissions. Sections 182(b)(2) and
(f) require that SIPs for ozone nonattainment areas classified as
moderate or above require implementation of RACT for any source covered
by an EPA Control Techniques Guidance (CTG) document and any other
major stationary source of VOCs or NOX. FRAQMD is subject to
this requirement as the southern part of Sutter County in FRAQMD is
designated and classified as a severe ozone nonattainment area for the
1997 and 2008 8-hour NAAQS for ozone (see 40 CFR 81.305). Therefore,
FRAQMD must, at a minimum, adopt RACT-level controls for all sources
covered by a CTG document and for all major non-CTG stationary sources
of VOCs or NOX in south Sutter County. The District adopted
its 2006 RACT SIP, with negative declarations, on December 4, 2006.
FRAQMD adopted its 2009 RACT SIP revision, which included negative
declarations for 11 new or updated CTGs issued from 2006 to 2008, on
June 1, 2009. FRAQMD adopted its 2014 RACT SIP, with negative
declarations, on August 2014. No comments were received on any of the
three RACT SIP demonstrations. Along with the 2014 RACT SIP adoption,
FRAQMD adopted Rule 3.8 which is designed to limit VOC emissions from
displaced gasoline vapors while transferring gasoline into storage
tanks and transport vessels. This rule is intended to fully satisfy the
CTG design criteria for Stage I vapor control systems.
II. EPA's Evaluation and Action
A. How is EPA evaluating the RACT SIP submissions and the submitted
rule revision?
FRAQMD regulates the Yuba County and Sutter County portions of the
Sacramento Valley Air Basin. The southern part of Sutter County is
designated and classified as a severe ozone nonattainment area for the
1997 and 2008 8-hour national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for
ozone (40 CFR 81.305). CAA Section 182(b)(2) and (f), as well as 40 CFR
51.912(a)(1) require that SIPs for ozone nonattainment areas classified
as moderate or above require implementation of RACT for any source
covered by a CTG document and any other major stationary source of VOCs
or NOX. Any stationary source that emits or has a potential
to emit at least 25 tons per year (tpy) of VOCs or NOX in a
severe ozone nonattainment area is considered a major stationary source
(see CAA sections 182(b(2)) and (f) and 302(j)). Where there are no
existing sources covered by a particular CTG document or no other major
stationary sources of VOCs or NOX, states may, in lieu of
adopting RACT requirements, adopt negative declarations certifying that
there are no such sources in the relevant nonattainment area (see
Memorandum from William T. Harnett to Regional Air Division Directors,
(May 18, 2006), ``RACT Qs & As--Reasonably Available Control Technology
(RACT) Questions and Answers'' page 7).
SIP rules must be enforceable (see CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not
interfere with applicable requirements concerning attainment and
reasonable further progress or other CAA requirements (see CAA section
110(l)),
[[Page 38961]]
and must not modify certain SIP control requirements in nonattainment
areas without ensuring equivalent or greater emissions reductions (see
CAA section 193).
Guidance and policy documents that we used to evaluate CAA section
182 RACT SIPs for FRAQMD include the following:
1. ``Final Rule to Implement the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard--Phase 2'' (70 FR 71612; November 29, 2005).
2. ``Air Quality Designations and Classifications for the 8-Hour

B. Does the RACT SIP submission meet the evaluation criteria?
The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs each includes three elements, as
described further below:
1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX rules for sources subject
to a CTG.
2. Negative declarations where there are no facilities subject to a
CTG.
3. Negative declaration for major non-CTG sources of VOC or
NOX.
A summary of our evaluation of each element is provided below. For
additional information concerning our evaluation, please refer to the
Technical Support Documents (TSDs) concerning the 2006, 2009 and 2014
RACT SIPs and FRAQMD Rule 3.8, which are available in the docket for
this action.
1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX Rules for Sources Subject to a
CTG
We believe that Rule 3.8 is consistent with the relevant
requirements, as well as policy and guidance regarding enforceability,
RACT, and SIP relaxations. We are not aware of information suggesting
that additional controls are needed to fulfill RACT.
2. Negative Declarations Where There are no Facilities Subject to a CTG
Negative declarations are only required for CTG source categories
for which the District has no sources covered by the CTG. A negative
declaration is not required for non-CTG source categories. Table 3
below lists the CTG source categories for the 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT
SIPs. The District indicated it does not currently have, nor does it
anticipate sources subject to the CTGs in these categories in the
future. We searched CARB's emissions inventory database to verify there
are no facilities in FRAQMD that might be subject to the CTGs listed
below. We concur with the District's negative declarations.

\1\ This item is not a CTG because EPA exempted perchloroethylene as a VOC for purposes of ozone SIPs. 61 FR
4588 (February 7, 1996) (codified at 40 CFR 51.100(s)(1)).
3. Negative Declaration for Major Non-CTG Sources of VOC or
NOX
The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs each included a negative
declaration for major non-CTG sources of VOC and NOX. EPA
agrees that there are no major non-CTG sources of NOX or
VOCs in the south Sutter County nonattainment area.
4. Conclusion
We find that FRAQMD's 2006, 2009, and 2014 RACT SIPs including the
negative declarations and the Rule 3.8 revisions, adequately
demonstrate that they satisfy RACT for the 1997 and 2008 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. Our TSDs have more information on our evaluation of the three
RACT SIP submissions and Rule 3.8.
C. EPA Recommendations To Strengthen the RACT SIPs and the Rule
Our TSD for Rule 3.8 describes additional revisions that we
recommend for the next time FRAQMD modifies the rule.
D. Public Comment and Final Action
As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully
approving the submitted SIP revisions because we believe they fulfill
all relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this
approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in advance.
However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal Register, we are
simultaneously proposing approval of the same SIP revisions. If we
receive adverse comments by August 7, 2015, we will publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register to notify the public that the direct
final approval will not take effect and we will address the comments in
a subsequent final action based on the proposal. If we do not receive
timely adverse comments, the direct final approval will be effective
without further notice on September 8, 2015. This will incorporate
these documents and rule into the federally enforceable SIP.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on a specific
provision of this SIP revision and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the SIP revision, EPA may adopt as final those
provisions of the SIP revision that are not the subject of an adverse
comment.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the 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 FRAQMD
rule described in the amendments to 40 CFR 52 set forth below. EPA has
made, and will continue to make, this document available electronically
through www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at the appropriate EPA
office (see the ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more
information).
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
is certified as not having a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address disproportionate human health or environmental effects with
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, the SIPs and the rule are 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
[[Page 38964]]
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 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 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 September 8, 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 today's 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)).
