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)).

ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving under the
Clean Air Act (CAA), a November 18,
2015, State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submittal from the Ohio Environmental
Protection Agency consisting of
adjustments and additions to volatile
organic compound (VOC) rules in the
Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The
changes to these rules are based on an
Ohio-initiated five-year periodic review
of its VOC rules and a new rule to
update the VOC reasonably available
control technology (RACT) requirements
for the miscellaneous metal and plastic
parts coatings source category for the
Cleveland-Akron-Lorain area
(‘‘Cleveland area’’) consisting of
Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake,
Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit
counties. Additionally, EPA is
approving into the Ohio SIP an oxides
of nitrogen (NOX) emission limit for
Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland that Ohio is
using as an offset in its anti-backsliding
demonstration for architectural
aluminum coatings.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
October 10, 2017.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever

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

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

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).)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0802; FRL-9967-40-Region 5]
Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Volatile Organic Compound Control Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving under
the Clean Air Act (CAA), a November 18, 2015, State Implementation Plan
(SIP) submittal from the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency
consisting of adjustments and additions to volatile organic compound
(VOC) rules in the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). The changes to these
rules are based on an Ohio-initiated five-year periodic review of its
VOC rules and a new rule to update the VOC reasonably available control
technology (RACT) requirements for the miscellaneous metal and plastic
parts coatings source category for the Cleveland-Akron-Lorain area
(``Cleveland area'') consisting of Ashtabula, Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake,
Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit counties. Additionally, EPA is
approving into the Ohio SIP an oxides of nitrogen (NOX)
emission limit for Arcelor-Mittal Cleveland that Ohio is using as an
offset in its anti-backsliding demonstration for architectural aluminum
coatings.
DATES: This final rule is effective on October 10, 2017.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0802. All documents in the docket are listed on

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
[[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\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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).)
