Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Rules and Regulations I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA) This rulemaking does not involve technical standards. This action merely approves a state request for an attainment date extension. J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population The EPA believes that this action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects on minority populations, lowincome populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). This action approves a state request for an attainment date extension based on the state’s compliance with requirements and commitments in its plan and recent air quality monitoring data that meets requirements for an extension. sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES K. Congressional Review Act (CRA) 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. 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. 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). L. Petitions for Judicial Review 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 November 7, 2017. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule 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: Throughout this document whenever ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information section is arranged as follows: I. What is the purpose of this action? II. What is EPA’s analysis of Ohio’s submitted VOC rules? III. What action is EPA taking? IV. Incorporation by Reference V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. What is the purpose of this action? EPA is approving a November 18, 2015, Ohio SIP submittal consisting of adjustments and additions to OAC Chapter 3745–21. Specifically, this includes amended OAC rules 3745–21– 01, 3745–21–03, 3745–21–04, 3745–21– 08, 3745–21–09, 3745–21–10, 3745–21– 12, 3745–21–13, 3745–21–14, 3745–21– 15, 3745–21–16, 3745–21–17, 3745–21– 18, 3745–21–19, 3745–21–20, 3745–21– 21, 3745–21–22, 3745–21–23, 3745–21– 25, 3745–21–27, 3745–21–28, 3745–21– 29; rescission of existing OAC rule 3745–21–24, and adoption of new OAC rules 3745–21–24 and 3745–21–26. Except for OAC rule 3745–21–26, the changes to the Chapter 3745–21 rules are based on an Ohio-initiated five-year periodic review of its VOC rules. When Ohio reviews a rule and amends greater than fifty percent of that rule, Ohio issues the entire rule as a new replacement rule. This is the case with OAC 3745–21–24. OAC rule 3745–21– 26 is an entirely new rule, the purpose of which is to update the VOC RACT requirements for the Cleveland area for the miscellaneous metal and plastic parts coatings source category. Additionally, EPA is approving into the Ohio SIP the NOX emission limit on E:\FR\FM\08SER1.SGM 08SER1 42452 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Rules and Regulations sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES unit P046 at the Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland facility, which is contained in OAC 3745–110–03(N). Ohio is using this emission limit as an offset in its CAA section 110(l) anti-backsliding demonstration for architectural coatings, which was discussed in detail in the May 11, 2017, proposed rulemaking (82 FR 21960). EPA solicited public comment on this proposal and did not receive any comments during the comment period. Finally, EPA is approving OAC 3745–110–05(A) into the Ohio SIP, which provides that compliance with the NOX emission limit on unit P046 at Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland shall be demonstrated by performing emission tests in accordance with EPA Method 7, 7a, 7c, 7d, or 7e, and any additional approved EPA methods as applicable. II. What is EPA’s analysis of Ohio’s submitted VOC rules? Many of Ohio’s amendments to the rules in Chapter 3745–21 are not significant. These amendments include: Updates to items incorporated by reference; minor typographical changes to conform to new state preferences on style and formatting; updates to correct typographical and format errors; updates to reflect source name and/or address changes; the removal of references to sources which have been permanently shut down; updates to replace deadlines associated with previous rule effective dates with actual dates (e.g. ‘‘sixty days from the effective date of this rule’’ replaced with an actual date); and language updates to provide clarification and to avoid confusion. EPA reviewed these and other non-significant and/or nonsubstantive amendments and is approving them since they do not constitute significant and/or substantive changes to Ohio’s rules. More significant amendments, those amendments requiring more explanation, and the addition of OAC rule 3745–21–26 were discussed in detail in the May 11, 2017, proposed rulemaking (82 FR 21960). These amendments pertain to catalytic incinerator requirements, references to operating permits, VOC recordkeeping requirements, solvent cleaning operations requirements, the addition of OAC rule 3745–21–26 surface coating of miscellaneous metal and plastic parts, and updates to the following rules: OAC rule 3745–21–24 flat wood paneling coatings and OAC rule 3745–21–28 miscellaneous industrial adhesives and sealants. EPA reviewed these amendments and is approving them for the reasons explained in detail in the May 11, 2017, proposed rulemaking (82 VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Sep 07, 2017 Jkt 241001 FR 21960) which can be found in the docket to this final rule. III. What action is EPA taking? EPA is approving into the Ohio SIP adjustments and additions to VOC RACT rules in OAC Chapter 3745–21. Additionally, EPA is incorporating into the Ohio SIP the NOX emission limit on unit P046 at the Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland facility, which is contained in OAC 3745–110–03(N); Ohio is using this emission limit as an offset in its CAA section 110(l) anti-backsliding demonstration for the OAC rule 3745– 21–26 VOC content limit for architectural coatings. Finally, EPA is approving OAC 3745–110–05(A) into the Ohio SIP, which provides that compliance with the NOX emission limit on unit P046 at Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland shall be demonstrated by performing emission tests in accordance with EPA Method 7, 7a, 7c, 7d, or 7e, and any additional approved EPA methods as applicable. IV. 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 Ohio Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov, and/or at the EPA Region 5 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, 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.1 V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the 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 1 62 PO 00000 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997). Frm 00012 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 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 E:\FR\FM\08SER1.SGM 08SER1 42453 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 173 / Friday, September 8, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 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 November 7, 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. This action may not Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) 2.

includes amended OAC rules 3745-21-01, 3745-21-03, 3745-21-04, 3745-21-

21-15, 3745-21-16, 3745-21-17, 3745-21-18, 3745-21-19, 3745-21-20, 
3745-21-21, 3745-21-22, 3745-21-23, 3745-21-25, 3745-21-27, 3745-21-28, 
3745-21-29; rescission of existing OAC rule 3745-21-24, and adoption of 
new OAC rules 3745-21-24 and 3745-21-26.
    Except for OAC rule 3745-21-26, the changes to the Chapter 3745-21 
rules are based on an Ohio-initiated five-year periodic review of its 
VOC rules. When Ohio reviews a rule and amends greater than fifty 
percent of that rule, Ohio issues the entire rule as a new replacement 
rule. This is the case with OAC 3745-21-24. OAC rule 3745-21-26 is an 
entirely new rule, the purpose of which is to update the VOC RACT 
requirements for the Cleveland area for the miscellaneous metal and 
plastic parts coatings source category. Additionally, EPA is approving 
into the Ohio SIP the NOX emission limit on

[[Page 42452]]

unit P046 at the Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland facility, which is contained 
in OAC 3745-110-03(N). Ohio is using this emission limit as an offset 
in its CAA section 110(l) anti-backsliding demonstration for 
architectural coatings, which was discussed in detail in the May 11, 
2017, proposed rulemaking (82 FR 21960). EPA solicited public comment 
on this proposal and did not receive any comments during the comment 
period. Finally, EPA is approving OAC 3745-110-05(A) into the Ohio SIP, 
which provides that compliance with the NOX emission limit 
on unit P046 at Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland shall be demonstrated by 
performing emission tests in accordance with EPA Method 7, 7a, 7c, 7d, 
or 7e, and any additional approved EPA methods as applicable.

II. What is EPA's analysis of Ohio's submitted VOC rules?

    Many of Ohio's amendments to the rules in Chapter 3745-21 are not 
significant. These amendments include: Updates to items incorporated by 
reference; minor typographical changes to conform to new state 
preferences on style and formatting; updates to correct typographical 
and format errors; updates to reflect source name and/or address 
changes; the removal of references to sources which have been 
permanently shut down; updates to replace deadlines associated with 
previous rule effective dates with actual dates (e.g. ``sixty days from 
the effective date of this rule'' replaced with an actual date); and 
language updates to provide clarification and to avoid confusion. EPA 
reviewed these and other non-significant and/or non-substantive 
amendments and is approving them since they do not constitute 
significant and/or substantive changes to Ohio's rules.
    More significant amendments, those amendments requiring more 
explanation, and the addition of OAC rule 3745-21-26 were discussed in 
detail in the May 11, 2017, proposed rulemaking (82 FR 21960). These 
amendments pertain to catalytic incinerator requirements, references to 
operating permits, VOC recordkeeping requirements, solvent cleaning 
operations requirements, the addition of OAC rule 3745-21-26 surface 
coating of miscellaneous metal and plastic parts, and updates to the 
following rules: OAC rule 3745-21-24 flat wood paneling coatings and 
OAC rule 3745-21-28 miscellaneous industrial adhesives and sealants. 
EPA reviewed these amendments and is approving them for the reasons 
explained in detail in the May 11, 2017, proposed rulemaking (82 FR 
21960) which can be found in the docket to this final rule.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is approving into the Ohio SIP adjustments and additions to VOC 
RACT rules in OAC Chapter 3745-21. Additionally, EPA is incorporating 
into the Ohio SIP the NOX emission limit on unit P046 at the 
Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland facility, which is contained in OAC 3745-110-
03(N); Ohio is using this emission limit as an offset in its CAA 
section 110(l) anti-backsliding demonstration for the OAC rule 3745-21-
26 VOC content limit for architectural coatings. Finally, EPA is 
approving OAC 3745-110-05(A) into the Ohio SIP, which provides that 
compliance with the NOX emission limit on unit P046 at 
Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland shall be demonstrated by performing emission 
tests in accordance with EPA Method 7, 7a, 7c, 7d, or 7e, and any 
additional approved EPA methods as applicable.

IV. 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 Ohio 
Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 
below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents 
generally available through https://www.regulations.gov, and/or at the 
EPA Region 5 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR 
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more 
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for 
inclusion in the SIP, 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.\1\

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the 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

[[Page 42453]]

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 November 7, 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
