I. Background and Purpose
On July 3, 2017, EPA published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (82 FR
30815) and Direct Final Rulemaking
(DFRN) (82 FR 30747) proposing to
approve and approving, respectively, a
RACT approval for a VOC emission
source in Rhode Island, specifically, US
Watercraft, LLC. The RACT approval
was submitted by the Rhode Island

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
Management (RI DEM) to EPA as a SIP
revision on August 8, 2003, which was
amended on February 20, 2004. In the
DFRN, EPA stated that if an adverse
comment were to be submitted to EPA
by August 2, 2017, the action would be
withdrawn and not take effect, and a
final rule would be issued based on the
NPR. EPA received one adverse
comment prior to the close of the
comment period. Therefore, EPA
withdrew the DFRN on September 1,
2017 (82 FR 41526). This action is a
final rule based on the NPR.
A detailed discussion of Rhode
Island’s August 8, 2003 SIP revision and
February 20, 2004 amendment, and
EPA’s rationale for approving the SIP
revision were provided in the DFRN and
will not be restated here, except to the
extent relevant to our response to the
public comment we received.
asabaliauskas on DSKBBXCHB2PROD with RULES
II. Response to Comment
EPA received one adverse comment
on its July 3, 2017 (82 FR 30815) Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking.
Comment: The commenter raised
concerns that the rulemaking identified
TPI Composites, Inc. (TPI) as being
owned and operated by US Watercraft
Inc., and asserted that TPI is an entirely
independent and separate corporate
entity from US Watercraft, LLC with no
common ownership or control of
operations between the two companies.
The commenter also stated that US
Watercraft, LLC purchased and now
owns the fiberglass boat manufacturing
processes covered by the RACT
approval and that TPI is not conducting
fiberglass boat manufacturing operations
at 373 Market Street in Warren, Rhode
Island.
Response: It was not EPA’s intention
to describe TPI as being owned and
operated by US Watercraft, LLC. EPA
agrees that the RACT approval being
approved into the RI SIP only applies to
the fiberglass boat manufacturing
operations located at 373 Market Street
in Warren, Rhode Island, which are
currently known to be owned and
operated by US Watercraft, LLC as
referenced in the US Watercraft, LLC
Operating Permit Number RI–39–09(R1)
issued by the RI DEM on April 24, 2009.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating
into the Rhode Island SIP, a RACT
approval effective July 16, 2003, and a
RACT approval amendment effective
February 11, 2004, for US Watercraft,
LLC. The RACT approval and
amendment were submitted by the RI
DEM to EPA as a SIP revision on August
8, 2003, and February 20, 2004,
respectively. EPA is also removing the
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:39 Sep 20, 2017
Jkt 241001
previously approved consent agreement
File No. 90–1–AP issued to TPI from the
Rhode Island SIP.
It should be noted that subsequent to
RI DEM’s submittal of its SIP revision
and amendment in 2003 and 2004,
respectively, EPA later issued a Control
Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for
Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials
on October 7, 2008 (73 FR 58481). RI
DEM has not yet addressed this CTG.
On February 3, 2017 (82 FR 9158), EPA
issued a Findings of Failure to Submit
State Implementation Plan Submittals
for the 2008 Ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standards for Rhode
Island’s failure to submit a SIP revision
to satisfy the 2008 CTG for Fiberglass
Boat Manufacturing Materials.
At this time, EPA is taking no action
with regard to Rhode Island’s obligation
to address the 2008 CTG for Fiberglass
Boat Manufacturing Materials since
Rhode Island has not yet taken formal
action to address this CTG. With this
action, we are approving the revised
RACT approval for US Watercraft as
meeting CAA section 110(l) because the
SIP revision will not interfere with any
applicable requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable further
progress, or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. Moreover,
approving this RACT approval into the
Rhode Island SIP will strengthen the SIP
as it is designed to control VOC
emissions. However, Rhode Island is
still obligated to submit a formal SIP
revision to EPA detailing how the State
is addressing the Fiberglass Boat
Manufacturing Materials CTG for any
and all sources in the State covered by
that CTG.
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 the RACT
Approval for US Watercraft, LLC
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);
PO 00000
Frm 00050
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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).

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 182 / Thursday, September 21, 2017 / Rules and Regulations
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 November 20,
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

III. Final Action
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On July 3, 2017, EPA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (82
FR 30815) and Direct Final Rulemaking (DFRN) (82 FR 30747) proposing to
approve and approving, respectively, a RACT approval for a VOC emission
source in Rhode Island, specifically, US Watercraft, LLC. The RACT
approval was submitted by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental
[[Page 44102]]
Management (RI DEM) to EPA as a SIP revision on August 8, 2003, which
was amended on February 20, 2004. In the DFRN, EPA stated that if an
adverse comment were to be submitted to EPA by August 2, 2017, the
action would be withdrawn and not take effect, and a final rule would
be issued based on the NPR. EPA received one adverse comment prior to
the close of the comment period. Therefore, EPA withdrew the DFRN on
September 1, 2017 (82 FR 41526). This action is a final rule based on
the NPR.
A detailed discussion of Rhode Island's August 8, 2003 SIP revision
and February 20, 2004 amendment, and EPA's rationale for approving the
SIP revision were provided in the DFRN and will not be restated here,
except to the extent relevant to our response to the public comment we
received.
II. Response to Comment
EPA received one adverse comment on its July 3, 2017 (82 FR 30815)
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
Comment: The commenter raised concerns that the rulemaking
identified TPI Composites, Inc. (TPI) as being owned and operated by US
Watercraft Inc., and asserted that TPI is an entirely independent and
separate corporate entity from US Watercraft, LLC with no common
ownership or control of operations between the two companies. The
commenter also stated that US Watercraft, LLC purchased and now owns
the fiberglass boat manufacturing processes covered by the RACT
approval and that TPI is not conducting fiberglass boat manufacturing
operations at 373 Market Street in Warren, Rhode Island.
Response: It was not EPA's intention to describe TPI as being owned
and operated by US Watercraft, LLC. EPA agrees that the RACT approval
being approved into the RI SIP only applies to the fiberglass boat
manufacturing operations located at 373 Market Street in Warren, Rhode
Island, which are currently known to be owned and operated by US
Watercraft, LLC as referenced in the US Watercraft, LLC Operating
Permit Number RI-39-09(R1) issued by the RI DEM on April 24, 2009.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving, and incorporating into the Rhode Island SIP, a
RACT approval effective July 16, 2003, and a RACT approval amendment
effective February 11, 2004, for US Watercraft, LLC. The RACT approval
and amendment were submitted by the RI DEM to EPA as a SIP revision on
August 8, 2003, and February 20, 2004, respectively. EPA is also
removing the previously approved consent agreement File No. 90-1-AP
issued to TPI from the Rhode Island SIP.
It should be noted that subsequent to RI DEM's submittal of its SIP
revision and amendment in 2003 and 2004, respectively, EPA later issued
a Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing
Materials on October 7, 2008 (73 FR 58481). RI DEM has not yet
addressed this CTG. On February 3, 2017 (82 FR 9158), EPA issued a
Findings of Failure to Submit State Implementation Plan Submittals for
the 2008 Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Rhode
Island's failure to submit a SIP revision to satisfy the 2008 CTG for
Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials.
At this time, EPA is taking no action with regard to Rhode Island's
obligation to address the 2008 CTG for Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing
Materials since Rhode Island has not yet taken formal action to address
this CTG. With this action, we are approving the revised RACT approval
for US Watercraft as meeting CAA section 110(l) because the SIP
revision will not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable further progress, or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. Moreover, approving this RACT approval into the
Rhode Island SIP will strengthen the SIP as it is designed to control
VOC emissions. However, Rhode Island is still obligated to submit a
formal SIP revision to EPA detailing how the State is addressing the
Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials CTG for any and all sources in
the State covered by that CTG.
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 the RACT
Approval for US Watercraft, LLC 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
[[Page 44103]]
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 November 20, 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)).
