Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 79 / Monday, April 25, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. We have analyzed
this rule under that Order and have
determined that it is consistent with the
fundamental federalism principles and
preemption requirements described in
E.O. 13132.
Also, this rule does not have tribal
implications under E.O. 13175,
Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments, because it
does not have a substantial direct effect
on one or more Indian tribes, on the
relationship between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes. If you
believe this rule has implications for
federalism or Indian tribes, please
contact the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section
above.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (2 U.S.C. 1531–1538) requires
Federal agencies to assess the effects of
their discretionary regulatory actions. In
particular, the Act addresses actions
that may result in the expenditure by a
State, local, or tribal government, in the
aggregate, or by the private sector of
$100,000,000 (adjusted for inflation) or
more in any one year. Though this rule
will not result in such an expenditure,
we do discuss the effects of this rule
elsewhere in this preamble.

F. Environment
We have analyzed this rule under
Department of Homeland Security
Management Directive 023–01 and
Commandant Instruction M16475.lD,
which guide the Coast Guard in
complying with the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42
U.S.C. 4321–4370f), and have
determined that this action is one of a
category of actions that do not
individually or cumulatively have a
significant effect on the human
environment. This rule is categorically
excluded from further review under
paragraph 34(g) of Figure 2–1 of the
Commandant Instruction. An
environmental analysis checklist
supporting this determination and a
Categorical Exclusion Determination are
available in the docket where indicated
under ADDRESSES. We seek any
comments or information that may lead
to the discovery of a significant
environmental impact from this rule.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On January 20, 2016 (81 FR 3078),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPR) for the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In the
NPR, EPA proposed approval of a
revision to Pennsylvania’s SIP for the
purpose of demonstrating attainment of
the 2008 lead NAAQS in the Lower
Beaver Valley Area. The formal SIP
revision was submitted by Pennsylvania
on January 15, 2015.
On November 12, 2008 (73 FR 66964),
EPA revised the lead NAAQS, lowering
the level from 1.5 micrograms per cubic
meter (mg/m3) to 0.15 mg/m3 calculated
over a three-month rolling average.
Following promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS, EPA is required by the
CAA to designate areas throughout the
United States as attaining or not
attaining the NAAQS; this designation
process is described in section 107(d)(1)
of the CAA.
On November 22, 2010 (75 FR 71033),
EPA designated Vanport and Potter
Townships in Beaver County,
Pennsylvania as the Lower Beaver
Valley Area for its nonattainment status
with respect to the 2008 lead NAAQS.

24027
On November 22, 2011 (76 FR 72097),
EPA revised the Lower Beaver Valley
Area boundary to include Center
Township. The designation of the Lower
Beaver Valley Area as nonattainment for
the 2008 lead NAAQS triggered
requirements under section 191(a) of the
CAA, requiring Pennsylvania to submit
a SIP revision with a plan for how the
Area will attain the 2008 lead NAAQS,
as expeditiously as practicable, but no
later than December 31, 2015.1
Section 179(a)(1) of the CAA
establishes specific consequences if EPA
finds that a state has failed to submit a
SIP or, with regard to a submitted SIP,
if EPA determines it is incomplete or if
EPA disapproves it. Additionally, any of
these findings also triggers an obligation
for EPA to promulgate a federal
implementation plan (FIP) if the state
has not submitted, and EPA has not
approved, the required SIP within 2
years of the finding pursuant to section
110(c) of the CAA. On February 25,
2014, the EPA issued a finding that
Pennsylvania failed to make the
required nonattainment SIP submission
for the Lower Beaver Valley Area. 79 FR
10391. With this final approval of
Pennsylvania’s Lower Beaver Valley
attainment plan SIP in accordance with
section 172(c) of the CAA, EPA no
longer has any obligation to issue a FIP
for the Lower Beaver Valley Area in
accordance with section 110(c) of the
CAA.
II. Summary of SIP Revision
On January 15, 2015, Pennsylvania
through the Department of
Environmental Protection (PADEP)
submitted an attainment plan for the
Lower Beaver Valley Area as a SIP
revision which includes a base year
emissions inventory, an attainment
demonstration, an analysis of RACM
and RACT, provisions for RFP, and
contingency measures. The SIP revision
also includes as attainment control
measures certain provisions of a
November 21, 2012 consent order and
agreement (COA) (specifically including
paragraphs 3, 5, and 6) between PADEP
and Horsehead Corporation
(Horsehead), the largest source of lead
in the Area at the time of designations.
Pennsylvania’s attainment
demonstration relied primarily on the
emissions reductions achieved by the
shutdown of the smelter equipment at
Horsehead, as required by the COA.
EPA’s analysis of the submitted
attainment plan includes a review of
1 EPA determined that extension of the Lower
Beaver Valley nonattainment area did not affect the
required attainment date or SIP submission
deadline for the Area. See 76 FR 72097 (November
22, 2011).
