IV. Statutory and Executive Orders
Review
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, the 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

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 the 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. The 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 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 December 5,
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 CAA
Section 307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDEP submitted to EPA for adoption
into the Florida SIP five revisions, three
of which were submitted on June 23,
1999, July 1, 2011, and February 27,
2013, as part of the State’s efforts to
clarify and streamline Florida’s non-title
V air permitting and compliance
assurance program and to address EPA’s
minor source preconstruction
requirements under 40 CFR 51.160–
51.164. In addition, on December 12,
2011, FDEP submitted a SIP revision to
add a definition of ‘‘North American
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:21 Oct 05, 2017
Jkt 244001
46683
Industry Classification System,’’ or
‘‘NAICS,’’ to the Florida SIP. On
February 1, 2017, FDEP submitted a SIP
revision to address requirements for
emissions monitoring at stationary
sources. The 1999 SIP submission
includes amendments to 16 rule
sections in the Florida Administrative
Code (F.A.C.) that were adopted by the
State between 1997 and 1999 to clarify
and streamline FDEP’s permitting
process. The 2011 SIP submission
includes clarifying and corrective
amendments to 11 F.A.C. rule sections
affecting FDEP’s permitting regulations
that were adopted by the State between
1997 and 2010. In its 2013 SIP
submission, FDEP updates the 1999 and
2011 SIP submissions by either
resubmitting or withdrawing 12 of the
16 F.A.C. rule sections originally
included in those submittals, and
providing updated versions of the
remaining four rule sections for
incorporation into the Florida SIP.
In a proposed rulemaking published
on August 10, 2017 (82 FR 37379), EPA
proposed to approve specified portions
of the five Florida SIP revisions on June
23, 1999, July 1, 2011, December 12,
2011, February 27, 2013, and February
1, 2017. The details of Florida’s
submissions and the rationale for EPA’s
actions are explained in the proposed
rulemaking. Comments on the proposed
rulemaking were due on or before
September 11, 2017. EPA received no
adverse comments on the proposed
action. Accordingly, in this action, EPA
is finalizing action regarding the
relevant regulations (or portions thereof)
from these five SIP submissions.
‘‘Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT)—Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) and Nitrogen Oxides
(NOX) Emitting Facilities,’’ state
effective 3/11/10; 62–296.508
‘‘Petroleum Liquid Storage,’’ state
effective 10/6/08; 62–297.310 ‘‘General
Emissions Test Requirements,’’ state
effective 3/9/15; and 62–297.450 ‘‘EPA
VOC Capture Efficiency Test
Procedures,’’ state effective 3/2/99. EPA
has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available
through www.regulations.gov and/or at
the EPA Region 4 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
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.1
II. 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 Florida Chapters 62–
210.200 ‘‘Definitions,’’ which was state
effective 3/28/12; 62–210.310 ‘‘Air
General Permits,’’ state effective 6/29/
11; 62–210.350 ‘‘Public Notice and
Comment,’’ state effective 10/12/08; 62–
296.100 ‘‘Purpose and Scope,’’ state
effective 10/6/08; 62–296.405 ‘‘Fossil
Fuel Steam Generators with More Than
250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat Input,’’
state effective 3/2/99; 62–296.406
‘‘Fossil Fuel Steam Generators with Less
Than 250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat
Input, New and Existing Emissions
Units,’’ state effective 3/2/99; 62–
296.412 ‘‘Dry Cleaning Facilities,’’ state
effective 3/11/10; 62–296.414 ‘‘Concrete
Batching Plants,’’ state effective 1/10/07;
62–296.418 ‘‘Bulk Gasoline Plants,’’
state effective 3/11/10; 62–296.500
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable federal regulations.
See 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 Act. 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,
these actions:
• Are 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);
• do not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);

of the five Florida SIP revisions
submitted to EPA on June 23, 1999, July
1, 2011, December 12, 2011, February
27, 2013, and February 1, 2017, on the
basis that they are consistent with the
CAA and EPA’s requirements for
permitting air emission sources.

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

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000), nor will it impose substantial
direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law.

the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
FDEP submitted to EPA for adoption into the Florida SIP five
revisions, three of which were submitted on June 23, 1999, July 1,
2011, and February 27, 2013, as part of the State's efforts to clarify
and streamline Florida's non-title V air permitting and compliance
assurance program and to address EPA's minor source preconstruction
requirements under 40 CFR 51.160-51.164. In addition, on December 12,
2011, FDEP submitted a SIP revision to add a definition of ``North
American Industry Classification System,'' or ``NAICS,'' to the Florida
SIP. On February 1, 2017, FDEP submitted a SIP revision to address
requirements for emissions monitoring at stationary sources. The 1999
SIP submission includes amendments to 16 rule sections in the Florida
Administrative Code (F.A.C.) that were adopted by the State between
1997 and 1999 to clarify and streamline FDEP's permitting process. The
2011 SIP submission includes clarifying and corrective amendments to 11
F.A.C. rule sections affecting FDEP's permitting regulations that were
adopted by the State between 1997 and 2010. In its 2013 SIP submission,
FDEP updates the 1999 and 2011 SIP submissions by either resubmitting
or withdrawing 12 of the 16 F.A.C. rule sections originally included in
those submittals, and providing updated versions of the remaining four
rule sections for incorporation into the Florida SIP.
In a proposed rulemaking published on August 10, 2017 (82 FR
37379), EPA proposed to approve specified portions of the five Florida
SIP revisions on June 23, 1999, July 1, 2011, December 12, 2011,
February 27, 2013, and February 1, 2017. The details of Florida's
submissions and the rationale for EPA's actions are explained in the
proposed rulemaking. Comments on the proposed rulemaking were due on or
before September 11, 2017. EPA received no adverse comments on the
proposed action. Accordingly, in this action, EPA is finalizing action
regarding the relevant regulations (or portions thereof) from these
five SIP submissions.
II. 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 Florida
Chapters 62-210.200 ``Definitions,'' which was state effective 3/28/12;
62-210.310 ``Air General Permits,'' state effective 6/29/11; 62-210.350
``Public Notice and Comment,'' state effective 10/12/08; 62-296.100
``Purpose and Scope,'' state effective 10/6/08; 62-296.405 ``Fossil
Fuel Steam Generators with More Than 250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat
Input,'' state effective 3/2/99; 62-296.406 ``Fossil Fuel Steam
Generators with Less Than 250 Million Btu Per Hour Heat Input, New and
Existing Emissions Units,'' state effective 3/2/99; 62-296.412 ``Dry
Cleaning Facilities,'' state effective 3/11/10; 62-296.414 ``Concrete
Batching Plants,'' state effective 1/10/07; 62-296.418 ``Bulk Gasoline
Plants,'' state effective 3/11/10; 62-296.500 ``Reasonably Available
Control Technology (RACT)--Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) and
Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) Emitting Facilities,'' state effective
3/11/10; 62-296.508 ``Petroleum Liquid Storage,'' state effective 10/6/
08; 62-297.310 ``General Emissions Test Requirements,'' state effective
3/9/15; and 62-297.450 ``EPA VOC Capture Efficiency Test Procedures,''
state effective 3/2/99. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the
EPA Region 4 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 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.\1\

III. Final Action
EPA is finalizing approval of portions of the five Florida SIP
revisions submitted to EPA on June 23, 1999, July 1, 2011, December 12,
2011, February 27, 2013, and February 1, 2017, on the basis that they
are consistent with the CAA and EPA's requirements for permitting air
emission sources.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
federal regulations. See 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 Act. 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, these actions:
Are 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);
do not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
[[Page 46684]]
are 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.);
do 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);
do not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
are not an economically significant regulatory action
based on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
are not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
are 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
do 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).
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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
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 December 5, 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)).
