SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA. This supplementary information
section is arranged as follows:
I. What did Michigan submit?
II. What action is EPA taking?
III. Incorporation by Reference
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What did Michigan submit?
On December 21, 2015, MDEQ
submitted a request to EPA to make
minor administrative revisions to rules
in Chapter 336, Part 9. The revisions are
described below:
R 336.1906 (rule 906)—This existing
rule requires notice to MDEQ for the
placement of a device that dilutes or
conceals emissions. MDEQ requests the
rule that is currently in effect at the state
level be incorporated into the SIP. The
regulatory text of Michigan’s current
rule, effective May 20, 2015, is identical
to the text of the SIP approved rule,
which became effective March 19, 2002.
The only revision to the text is the
effective date of the rule. Because there
are no substantive changes to language
in the current version of the rule
promulgated at the state, EPA finds the
2015 version of rule 906 approvable into
the SIP.
R 336.1911 (rule 911) and R 336.1912
(rule 912)—The provisions of these
rules do not allow emissions or
specifically limit emissions from a
source, process equipment, or operation.
In the existing rule 911, it requires a
malfunction abatement plan in certain
situations. A person responsible for the
operation of a source of an air
contaminant shall prepare a
malfunction abatement plan to prevent,
detect, and correct malfunctions or
equipment failures resulting in
emissions exceeding any applicable
emission limitation. In this rule the
PO 00000
Frm 00197
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
91839
word ‘‘commission’’ was changed to
‘‘department.’’ Malfunction abatement
plans are to be submitted to the
department because the commission no
longer exists.
The existing rule 912 addresses
notification and reporting requirements
of excess emissions resulting from either
an abnormal condition, start-up,
shutdown, or malfunction of a source,
process equipment, or operation. In
section 912(5b), the word ‘‘which’’ was
changed to ‘‘that.’’
Because there are no substantive
changes to the language in rules 911 and
912, EPA finds the revisions acceptable
for approval into the Michigan SIP.1
Overall, the revisions to Part 9 make
minor corrections to rules 906, 911, and
912. The revisions are solely
administrative, and do not make any
substantive changes to the language in
the rules. The revisions to these rules
will not increase emissions of pollutants
into the atmosphere.
II. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is approving the December 21,
2015, request to revise Michigan’s air
pollution control rules in Part 9. The
revisions will not increase emissions of
pollutants into the atmosphere.
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 if relevant adverse written
comments are filed. This rule will be
effective February 17, 2017 without
further notice unless we receive relevant
adverse written comments by January
18, 2017. 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. All public
comments received will then be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on the proposed action. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
If we do not receive any comments, this
action will be effective February 17,
2017.
1 On June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33840), EPA finalized
a SIP Call to address deficient SIP provisions
regarding emissions during facility start-up,
shutdown, and malfunctions. In this SIP Call,
Michigan was required to revise a rule which
allowed an affirmative defense for excess emissions
during start-up or shutdown. The SIP Call did not
include rule 911 or 912. These two rules address
only planning and reporting requirements. Thus,
they comply with EPA’s policy on start-up,
shutdown, and malfunctions.

III. 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. Therefore, these
materials have been approved by EPA
for inclusion in the State
implementation plan, have been
incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA
as of the effective date of the final
rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will
be incorporated by reference by the
Director of the Federal Register in the
next update to the SIP compilation.2
EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these documents generally
available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA
Region 5 Office (please contact the

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
srobinson on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with RULES
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (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
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 February 17, 2017. 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).)

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is determining that the
Sheboygan, Wisconsin area (Sheboygan
County) has failed to attain the 2008
ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) by the applicable
attainment date of July 20, 2016, and
that this area is not eligible for an
extension of the attainment date. Thus,
EPA is reclassifying this area as
‘‘moderate’’ nonattainment for the 2008
ozone NAAQS. The State of Wisconsin
must submit State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions that meet the statutory
and regulatory requirements that apply
to areas classified as moderate
nonattainment for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS by January 1, 2017.
DATES: This final rule is effective

I. What is being addressed in this
document?
Clean Air Act (CAA) section 181(b)(2)
requires EPA to determine, based on an
area’s ozone design value 1 as of the
area’s attainment deadline, whether the
area has attained the ozone standard by
that date. The statute provides a
1 An area’s ozone design value for the eight-hour
ozone NAAQS is the highest three-year average of
the annual fourth-highest daily maximum eighthour average concentrations of all monitors in the
area. To determine whether an area has attained the
ozone NAAQS prior to the attainment date, EPA
considers the monitor-specific ozone design values
in the area for the most recent three years with
complete, quality-assured monitored ozone data
prior to the attainment deadline.

mechanism by which states that meet
certain criteria may request and be
granted by the EPA Administrator a oneyear extension of an area’s attainment
deadline. The CAA also requires that
areas that have not attained the standard
by their attainment deadlines be
reclassified to either the next ‘‘highest’’
classification (e.g., marginal to
moderate, moderate to serious, etc.) or
to the classifications applicable to the
areas’ design values.
On April 30, 2012, the Sheboygan
area was designated as nonattainment
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS and was
classified as marginal, effective July 20,
2012 (77 FR 30088, May 21, 2012).
Wisconsin submitted a letter to EPA
requesting a one-year extension of the
attainment deadline for the Sheboygan
area under section 181(a)(5) of the CAA.
In that letter, Wisconsin certified that
the State had complied with all
requirements and commitments
pertaining to the Sheboygan area in the
SIP and that all monitors in the area had
a fourth highest daily maximum 8-hour
average of 0.075 parts per million (ppm)
or less for 2014 (i.e., the last full year
of air quality data prior to the July 20,
2015, attainment date). On May 4, 2016
(81 FR 26697), based on EPA’s
evaluation and determination that the
area met the attainment date extension
criteria of CAA section 181(a)(5), EPA
granted the Sheboygan area a one-year
extension of the marginal area
attainment date to July 20, 2016.
Wisconsin did not request a second
one-year extension for the Sheboygan
area, and the area would not have
qualified for one under CAA section
181(a)(5) because, at 0.076 ppm, the
average of the 2014 and 2015 annual

I. What did Michigan submit?
On December 21, 2015, MDEQ submitted a request to EPA to make minor
administrative revisions to rules in Chapter 336, Part 9. The revisions
are described below:
R 336.1906 (rule 906)--This existing rule requires notice to MDEQ
for the placement of a device that dilutes or conceals emissions. MDEQ
requests the rule that is currently in effect at the state level be
incorporated into the SIP. The regulatory text of Michigan's current
rule, effective May 20, 2015, is identical to the text of the SIP
approved rule, which became effective March 19, 2002. The only revision
to the text is the effective date of the rule. Because there are no
substantive changes to language in the current version of the rule
promulgated at the state, EPA finds the 2015 version of rule 906
approvable into the SIP.
R 336.1911 (rule 911) and R 336.1912 (rule 912)--The provisions of
these rules do not allow emissions or specifically limit emissions from
a source, process equipment, or operation. In the existing rule 911, it
requires a malfunction abatement plan in certain situations. A person
responsible for the operation of a source of an air contaminant shall
prepare a malfunction abatement plan to prevent, detect, and correct
malfunctions or equipment failures resulting in emissions exceeding any
applicable emission limitation. In this rule the word ``commission''
was changed to ``department.'' Malfunction abatement plans are to be
submitted to the department because the commission no longer exists.
The existing rule 912 addresses notification and reporting
requirements of excess emissions resulting from either an abnormal
condition, start-up, shutdown, or malfunction of a source, process
equipment, or operation. In section 912(5b), the word ``which'' was
changed to ``that.''
Because there are no substantive changes to the language in rules
911 and 912, EPA finds the revisions acceptable for approval into the
Michigan SIP.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ On June 12, 2015 (80 FR 33840), EPA finalized a SIP Call to
address deficient SIP provisions regarding emissions during facility
start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions. In this SIP Call, Michigan was
required to revise a rule which allowed an affirmative defense for
excess emissions during start-up or shutdown. The SIP Call did not
include rule 911 or 912. These two rules address only planning and
reporting requirements. Thus, they comply with EPA's policy on
start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall, the revisions to Part 9 make minor corrections to rules
906, 911, and 912. The revisions are solely administrative, and do not
make any substantive changes to the language in the rules. The
revisions to these rules will not increase emissions of pollutants into
the atmosphere.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act (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 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 February 17, 2017. 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).)
