V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
The New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Services (NH DES)
submitted to EPA the following three
single source orders establishing
reasonably available control technology
(RACT) for sources of volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) for incorporation
into the New Hampshire SIP: RACT
Order ARD–03–001A, issued to ParkerHannifin Corporation, Chomerics
Division, located in Hudson, New
Hampshire, submitted to EPA on
October 31, 2014; RACT Order ARD–
96–001, issued to Textile Tapes
Corporation located in Gonic, New
Hampshire, submitted to EPA on July
30, 2015; and RACT Order ARD–07–
001, issued to Watts Regulator Company
located in Franklin, New Hampshire,
submitted to EPA on September 9, 2015.
A description of these submittals and
our evaluation of them appears below in
Section II of this document.
II. Description and Evaluation of the
State’s Submittals
1. Order for Parker-Hannifin
Corporation
The Parker-Hannifin Corporation,
Chomerics Division, located in Hudson,
New Hampshire, produces coated
fabrics, films, and other substrates for
use in the electronics industry. The NH
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4700

DES previously issued VOC RACT
Order ARD 03–001 to the facility on July
18, 2002, and EPA approved that order
into the NH SIP on November 5, 2012.
See 77 FR 66388. NH DES re-issued the
order for this facility as ARD 03–001A
to allow for modifications to monitoring
requirements, testing frequency, and
determination of destruction and
removal efficiency for a catalytic
oxidizer operated by the facility to
control air pollution. New Hampshire
DES determined that these changes were
appropriate after reviewing the
performance history of the oxidizer.
VOC RACT Order ARD 03–001A was
issued by the NH DES on October 22,
2014, and establishes enforceable
requirements the facility must follow in
order to control VOC emissions at the
facility. The Order includes
requirements for periodic monitoring of
the catalytic oxidizer’s performance,
recordkeeping requirements, work
practice standards, and allows the
facility to generate and use discrete
emission reduction credits.
2. Order for Textile Tapes Corporation
The Textile Tapes Corporation
operates a fabric coating and hot melt
coating facility located in Gonic, New
Hampshire. The NH DES previously
issued VOC RACT Order ARD–96–001
to the facility, with a state effective date
of August 10, 2007, which EPA
approved into the New Hampshire SIP
on November 5, 2012. See 77 FR 66388.
Subsequently, the facility installed a
new regenerative thermal oxidizer
(RTO) to replace an existing unit at the
facility. The updated VOC RACT order
for the facility, ARD–96–001, as
amended on July 30, 2015, contains an
updated operating temperature for the
new RTO. Additionally, the updated
VOC RACT order provides a facility
wide VOC emissions limit of 24.9 tons
on a 12 month rolling basis, which is a
decrease from the previous limit of 63.8
tons. The updated order makes a
number of editorial changes to reflect
the current citations for New
Hampshire’s air pollution control
regulations, includes requirements for
monitoring and testing for the RTO,
includes recordkeeping requirements,
and allows the facility to generate and
use discrete emission reduction credits.
3. Order for Watts Regulator Company
The Watts Regulator Company
manufactures equipment for the
plumbing, heating, and water quality
industries at a facility located in
Franklin, New Hampshire. The NH DES
previously issued VOC RACT Order
ARD–07–001 to the facility, which was
then operated under the name Webster

Valve Company, with a state effective
date of March 21, 2007. EPA approved
this order into the NH SIP on November
5, 2012. See 77 FR 66388. NH DES
amended the order for this facility in
2015 to reflect the pending applicability
of a newly adopted state VOC
regulation, Env-A 1212, Miscellaneous
Metal and Plastic Parts and Products
Coating, to coatings used by the facility,
and to include work practice standards
to the order. The order includes
recordkeeping requirements, and allows
the facility to generate and use discrete
emission reduction credits.
EPA agrees with New Hampshire’s
updated RACT determinations for the
three sources mentioned above, and is
therefore removing the existing orders
for these facilities from the New
Hampshire SIP and replacing them with
the updated orders described above. The
updated orders we are approving are at
least as stringent as the orders being
replaced, and therefore meet the antibacksliding requirements of section
110(l) of the CAA.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating
into the New Hampshire SIP, three
single source orders that establish
reasonably available control technology
for the Parker-Hannifin Corporation, the
Textile Tapes Corporation, and the
Watts Regulator Company, and is
removing previously approved orders
for these three facilities from the New
Hampshire SIP.
The EPA is publishing this action
without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial
amendment and anticipates no adverse
comments. However, in the proposed
rules section of this Federal Register
publication, EPA is publishing a
separate document that will serve as the
proposal to approve the SIP revision
should relevant adverse comments be
filed. This rule will be effective October
28, 2016 without further notice unless
the Agency receives relevant adverse
comments by September 28, 2016.
If the EPA receives such comments,
then EPA will publish a notice
withdrawing the final rule and
informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments
received will then be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. The EPA will not
institute a second comment period on
the proposed rule. All parties interested
in commenting on the proposed rule
should do so at this time. If no such
comments are received, the public is
advised that this rule will be effective
on October 28, 2016 and no further
action will be taken on the proposed

rule. Please note that if EPA receives
adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if
that provision may 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.
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 single
source orders for the Parker Hannifin
Corporation, Textile Tapes Corporation,
and Watts Regulator Company, as
described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov, and/or at the EPA
Region 1 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT 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
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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. Section 804,
however, exempts from section 801 the
following types of rules: Rules of
particular applicability; rules relating to
agency management or personnel; and
rules of agency organization, procedure,
or practice that do not substantially
affect the rights or obligations of nonagency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3). Because
this is a rule of particular applicability,
EPA is not required to submit a rule
report regarding this action under
section 801.
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 October 28, 2016.
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
E:\FR\FM\29AUR1.SGM
29AUR1
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 167 / Monday, August 29, 2016 / Rules and Regulations
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).)

Appropriation Act of 1952 (IOAA), 31
U.S.C. 9701, authorizes agencies to
establish charges (user fees) for services
and benefits that it provides to specific
recipients. Under the IOAA, charges
must be fair and based on the costs to
the Government, the value of the service
or thing to the recipient, the public
policy or interest served, and other
relevant facts. The IOAA also provides
that regulations implementing user fees
are subject to policies prescribed by the
President, which are currently set forth
in OMB Circular A–25, User Charges
(revised July 8, 1993).
OMB Circular A–25 requires agencies
to conduct a periodic reassessment of
costs and, if necessary, adjust or

I. Background and Purpose
The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES)
submitted to EPA the following three single source orders establishing
reasonably available control technology (RACT) for sources of volatile
organic compounds (VOCs) for incorporation into the New Hampshire SIP:
RACT Order ARD-03-001A, issued to Parker-Hannifin Corporation,
Chomerics Division, located in Hudson, New Hampshire, submitted to EPA
on October 31, 2014; RACT Order ARD-96-001, issued to Textile Tapes
Corporation located in Gonic, New Hampshire, submitted to EPA on July
30, 2015; and RACT Order ARD-07-001, issued to Watts Regulator Company
located in Franklin, New Hampshire, submitted to EPA on September 9,
2015. A description of these submittals and our evaluation of them
appears below in Section II of this document.

the facility to generate and use discrete emission reduction credits.
EPA agrees with New Hampshire's updated RACT determinations for the
three sources mentioned above, and is therefore removing the existing
orders for these facilities from the New Hampshire SIP and replacing
them with the updated orders described above. The updated orders we are
approving are at least as stringent as the orders being replaced, and
therefore meet the anti-backsliding requirements of section 110(l) of
the CAA.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating into the New Hampshire SIP,
three single source orders that establish reasonably available control
technology for the Parker-Hannifin Corporation, the Textile Tapes
Corporation, and the Watts Regulator Company, and is removing
previously approved orders for these three facilities from the New
Hampshire SIP.
The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates
no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should
relevant adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective October
28, 2016 without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant
adverse comments by September 28, 2016.
If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a notice
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not
institute a second comment period on the proposed rule. All parties
interested in commenting on the proposed rule should do so at this
time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this
rule will be effective on October 28, 2016 and no further action will
be taken on the proposed rule. Please note that if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that
provision may 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.
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 single
source orders for the Parker Hannifin Corporation, Textile Tapes
Corporation, and Watts Regulator Company, as described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these materials generally available through
www.regulations.gov, and/or at the EPA Region 1 Office (please contact
the person identified in the For Further Information Contact 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. Section 804, however, exempts from section 801 the
following types of rules: Rules of particular applicability; rules
relating to agency management or personnel; and rules of agency
organization, procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect
the rights or obligations of non-agency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3).
Because this is a rule of particular applicability, EPA is not required
to submit a rule report regarding this action under section 801.
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 October 28, 2016. 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
[[Page 59141]]
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).)
