Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 133 / Monday, July 13, 2015 / Rules and Regulations
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will 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.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Governments
This action does not have tribal
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13175. This rule responds to the
requirement in the CAA for states to
submit SIPs under section 110(a) to
address CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. No tribe is
subject to the requirement to submit an
implementation plan under section
110(a) within 3 years of promulgation of
a new or revised NAAQS. Thus,
Executive Order 13175 does not apply
to this action.
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern
environmental health or safety risks that
the EPA has reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory
action’’ in section 2–202 of the
Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045
because it does not concern an
environmental health risk or safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211, because it is not a
significant regulatory action under
Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
This rulemaking does not involve
technical standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
The EPA believes the human health or
environmental risk addressed by this
action will not have potential
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority, low-income or indigenous
populations because it does not affect
the level of protection provided to
human health or the environment. The
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
EPA’s evaluation of environmental
justice considerations is contained in
section IV of this document.
K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and
the EPA will submit a rule report to
each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United
States. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’
as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
L. Judicial Review
Section 307(b)(l) of the CAA indicates
which federal Courts of Appeal have
venue for petitions of review of final
agency actions by the EPA under the
CAA. This section provides, in part, that
petitions for review must be filed in the
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit (i) when the agency
action consists of ‘‘nationally applicable
regulations promulgated, or final actions
taken, by the Administrator,’’ or (ii)
when such action is locally or regionally
applicable, if ‘‘such action is based on
a determination of nationwide scope or
effect and if in taking such action the
Administrator finds and publishes that
such action is based on such a
determination.’’
The EPA has determined that this
final rule consisting of findings of
failure to submit certain of the required
good neighbor SIP provisions is
‘‘nationally applicable’’ within the
meaning of section 307(b)(1). This rule
affects 24 states across the country that
are located in seven of the ten EPA
Regions, 10 different federal circuits,
and multiple time zones.
This determination is appropriate
because, in the 1977 CAA Amendments
that revised CAA section 307(b)(l),
Congress noted that the Administrator’s
determination that an action is of
‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ would be
appropriate for any action that has
‘‘scope or effect beyond a single judicial
circuit.’’ H.R. Rep. No. 95–294 at 323–
324, reprinted in 1977 U.S.C.C.A.N.
1402–03. Here, the scope and effect of
this action extends to the 10 judicial
circuits that include the states across the
country affected by this action. In these
circumstances, section 307(b)(1) and its
legislative history authorize the
Administrator to find the rule to be of
‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ and thus to
indicate that venue for challenges lies in
the DC Circuit. Accordingly, the EPA is
determining that this is a rule of
nationwide scope or effect. 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 District of Columbia
within 60 days from the date this final
action is published in the Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00026

Register. Filing a petition for review by
the Administrator of this final action
does not affect the finality of the action
for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review must be
filed, and shall not postpone the
effectiveness of such rule or action.

V. 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:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:02 Jul 10, 2015
Jkt 235001
• 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 Clean Air Act;
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
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 11,
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. This action may not be
challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements (see section
307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On March 25, 2015 (80 FR 15713),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the State of
Maryland. In the NPR, EPA proposed
approval of revisions to Maryland’s
major nonattainment NSR program,
notably preconstruction permitting
requirements for sources of fine
particulate matter (PM2.5). The formal
SIP revision (#13–06) was submitted by
MDE on August 22, 2013.
Generally, the revisions incorporate
provisions related to the 2008
‘‘Implementation of the New Source
Review (NSR) Program for Particulate
Matter Less than 2.5 Micrometers
(PM2.5)’’ (2008 NSR PM2.5 Rule). 73 FR
28321 (May 16, 2008). As discussed in
the NPR, the 2008 NSR PM2.5 Rule (as
well as the 2007 ‘‘Final Clean Air Fine
Particle Implementation Rule’’ (2007
PM2.5 Implementation Rule) 1), was the
subject of litigation before the United
States Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia Circuit (D.C. Circuit) in
Natural Resources Defense Council v.
EPA (hereafter, NRDC v. EPA).2 On
January 4, 2013, the D.C. Circuit
remanded to EPA both the 2007 PM2.5
Implementation Rule and the 2008 NSR
PM2.5 Rule. The court found that in both
rules EPA erred in implementing the
1997 PM2.5 National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS) solely
pursuant to the general implementation

FR 20586 (April 25, 2007).

provisions of subpart 1 of part D of title
I of the CAA (subpart 1), rather than
pursuant to the additional
implementation provisions specific to
particulate matter in subpart 4 of part D
of title I (subpart 4).3 However, as was
also discussed in the NPR, EPA’s final
actions redesignating all of the areas in
Maryland which were nonattainment for
the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS to attainment
obviated the need for MDE to submit a
nonattainment NSR SIP addressing
PM2.5 requirements, including those
under subpart 4. See 80 FR 15714. EPA,
therefore, did not evaluate MDE’s
August 22, 2013 SIP revision submittal
for compliance with subpart 4. To the
extent that any area in Maryland is
designated as nonattainment for PM2.5
in the future, MDE will have to make a
submittal under CAA section 189
addressing how its nonattainment NSR
permitting program satisfies all of the
statutory requirements pertaining to
PM2.5, including subpart 4.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
The 2008 NSR PM2.5 Rule: (1)
Required NSR permits to address
directly emitted PM2.5 and precursor
pollutants; (2) established significant
emission rates for direct PM2.5 and
precursor pollutants (including sulfur
dioxide (SO2) and oxides of nitrogen
(NOX)); (3) established PM2.5 emission
offsets; and (4) required states to
account for gases that condense to form
particles (condensables) in PM2.5
emission limits.
To implement these provisions,
Maryland amended Regulation .01
under COMAR 26.11.01 (General
Administrative Provisions) and
Regulations .01 and .02 under COMAR
26.11.17 (Nonattainment Provisions for
Major New Sources and Major
Modifications). The general definitions
at COMAR 26.11.01.01 were amended to
add definitions of ‘‘PM2.5’’ and ‘‘PM2.5
emissions.’’ COMAR 26.11.17 contains
the preconstruction requirements for
new major stationary sources and major
modifications locating in nonattainment
areas. The definitions of ‘‘regulated NSR
pollutant’’ and ‘‘significant’’ under
COMAR 26.11.17.01 were amended.
The amended definitions require that
sources account for the condensable
fraction of PM10 and PM2.5, require that
NOX and SO2 be regulated as precursors
to PM10 and PM2.5, and establish
3 The court’s opinion did not specifically address
the point that implementation under subpart 4
requirements would still require consideration of
subpart 1 requirements, to the extent that subpart
4 did not override subpart 1. EPA assumes that the
court presumed that EPA would address this issue
of potential overlap between subpart 1 and subpart
4 requirements in subsequent actions.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received no comments.
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted. Therefore, as authorized in section
110(k)(3) of the Act, EPA is fully approving this rule into the
California SIP.
IV. 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, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
SCAQMD rules described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
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).
V. 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 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 Clean Air Act; 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 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 11, 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. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).
