emissions located in ozone
nonattainment areas classified as
moderate and above (and sources
located in the Ozone Transport Region
(OTR), of which the entire state of
Maryland is a part) are subject to RACT
requirements. See sections 182(b)(2) and
184(b)(2) of the CAA. Section 182(f) of
the CAA specifically requires RACT for
major stationary sources of NOX. The
cement kilns in Maryland are major
stationary sources of NOX and are
therefore required to be evaluated for
NOX RACT under the 2008 ozone
NAAQS.
The NOX Budget Trading Program
was established under the NOX SIP Call
to allow electric generating units (EGUs)
greater than 25 megawatts and
industrial non-electric generating units
(or non-EGUs) with a rated heat input
greater than 250 million British thermal
units per hour (MMBtu/hr) (referred to
as large non-EGUs) to participate in a
regional NOX cap and trade program.
The NOX SIP call also established NOX
reduction requirements for other nonEGUs that were not a part of the NOX
Budget Trading Program, including
cement kilns and stationary IC engines.
Maryland regulations COMAR
26.11.29—NOX Reduction Requirements
and Trading Program and COMAR
26.11.30—Policies and Procedures
Relating to Maryland’s NOX Reduction
and Trading Program, were previously
approved into the Maryland SIP to
implement the NOX Budget Trading
Program and allowed EGUs and large
non-EGUs in the state to participate in
the regional NOX cap and trade program
established under EPA’s NOX SIP Call.
COMAR 26.11.29 also included NOX
reductions, monitoring, and
recordkeeping requirements for cement
kilns and IC engines.
EPA discontinued administration of
the NOX Budget Trading Program in
2009 upon the start of the Clean Air
Interstate Rule (CAIR) trading
programs.3 The NOX SIP Call
requirements continued to apply, and
EGUs that were previously trading
under the NOX Budget Trading Program
continued to meet NOX SIP Call
requirements under the more stringent
requirements of the CAIR ozone season
trading program. Large non-EGUs were
not addressed in CAIR. Therefore, states
needed to assess their state
ozone transport region, is a source that emits or has
the potential to emit 100 tons of NOX.
3 CAIR was subsequently vacated and remanded.
See North Carolina v. EPA, 531 F.3d 896 (D.C. Cir.
2008), modified by 550 F.3d 1176 (remanding
CAIR). CAIR was replaced with the Cross-State Air
Pollution Rule (CSAPR) (76 FR 48208, August 8,
2011), which, after legal challenges, was
implemented starting in January 2015.

requirements and take regulatory action
as necessary to ensure that all their nonEGU obligations continued to be met.
After EPA discontinued the NOX Budget
Trading Program, Maryland’s EGU
obligations under the NOX SIP Call
continued to be addressed in Maryland
regulation COMAR 26.11.28—Clean Air
Interstate Rule and later in CSAPR.
Maryland’s large non-EGU reduction
requirements are largely addressed in
separate rulemaking actions under other
COMAR regulations and discussed in
more detail in the NPR for this
rulemaking.
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA
Analysis
Revised COMAR 26.11.30 establishes
a limit of 3.4 pounds (lbs) of NOX per
ton of clinker (lbs NOX/ton of clinker)
for long, dry kilns, and 2.4 lbs NOX/ton
of clinker for pre-calciner kilns.
Maryland’s November 13, 2015
submittal explained that NOX RACT for
cement kilns, which are major
stationary sources of NOX subject to
RACT requirements, was established
consistent with the Ozone Transport
Commission (OTC) recommended RACT
requirements for the 2008 ozone
NAAQS. The 2007 OTC Technical
Support Document on Identification
and Evaluation of Candidate Control
Measures 4 (OTC TSD) recommended
NOX emission rates for cement kilns
based on applying a 60 percent
reduction to uncontrolled emissions.
Maryland’s February 17, 2017
supplemental submission provided
additional clarification on the
justification for the NOX RACT limits
for the cement kilns. MDE also provided
an estimate of costs to comply with the
revised NOX rates for cement kilns,
including the costs to install selective
non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) controls
to meet the more stringent NOX rate
limits established by its May 21, 2010
regulatory action and the additional
costs to increase the amount of reagent
used in the SNCR to meet the
requirements in its July 10, 2015 action
further lowering the NOX emission rate.
EPA agrees with Maryland’s
determination of NOX RACT for cement
kilns for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, based
on our analysis of the cost effectiveness
associated with installation of SNCR,
the cost effectiveness for additional
operating costs for the increase in
ammonia use, as well as the
technological considerations involved

with further increasing the amount of
ammonia used.
The November 24, 2015 SIP revision
submittal also included several state
regulatory actions for inclusion into the
Maryland SIP. On May 21, 2010,
Maryland repealed COMAR 26.11.29
and COMAR 26.11.30, with a State
effective date of May 31, 2010. The
requirements for certain large nonelectric generating units (EGUs), cement
kilns, and IC engines pursuant to the
NOX SIP Call continue to apply, as
explained in the NPR and noted
previously. Therefore, Maryland
recodified certain portions of the
Portland cement plant and natural gas
compression station provisions
(formerly found at COMAR 26.11.29.15)
into new COMAR 26.11.29 (with a State
effective date of July 20, 2015), retitled
NOX Reduction Requirements for NonElectric Generating Units. The cement
kiln provisions necessary to address the
NOX SIP Call requirements were revised
to add a compliance date of April 1,
2017 for the existing NOX emission rate
limits in the regulation and to remove
an alternative control method.
COMAR 26.11.30 formerly included
large non-EGUs as participants in the
NOX Reduction and Trading Program
and established an ozone season
allocation of 947 tons of NOX for the
large non-EGUs at the only kraft pulp
mill located in Maryland. With repeal of
the NOX Reduction and Trading
Program, Maryland modified its kraft
pulp mill regulation in COMAR
26.11.14.07 to limit NOX emissions from
fuel burning equipment at kraft pulp
mills to 947 tons per year (matching the
ozone season allocation formerly in
COMAR 26.11.30). Maryland is
currently in the process of developing
regulations for inclusion in the SIP
amending the State’s provisions for kraft
pulp mills for addressing NOX SIP Call
obligations and also addressing the
State’s ongoing NOX SIP Call obligations
with respect to other large non-EGUs.
Other specific requirements of the
revised Maryland COMAR regulations
and the rationale for EPA’s proposed
action are explained in the NPR and the
technical support document (TSD) for
the NPR (available in the docket for this
rulemaking at www.regulations.gov) and
will not be restated here.
III. Public Comments and EPA’s
Response
EPA received two public comments
on our November 13, 2017 action
proposing to approve Maryland’s SIP
submittal of November 24, 2015, as
supplemented on February 17, 2017.

Comment 1—The commenter
provided statements relating to
greenhouse gases and climate change.
EPA Response to Comment 1—This
comment is not relevant to this
rulemaking action. This action pertains
to RACT for cement kilns, recodification
of provisions for Portland cement plants
and IC engines at natural gas
compression stations, and removal of
obsolete trading programs that have
been replaced or addressed in other
regulations.
Comment 2—The commenter
expressed concern over unnecessary
and burdensome regulations, the
regulatory process, and the associated
costs of regulations, particularly those
issued by EPA.
EPA Response to Comment 2—As the
comment is neither supportive of,
critical of, nor specific to this action, no
response is provided. This action
pertains to RACT for cement kilns,
recodification of provisions for Portland
cement plants and IC engines at natural
gas compression stations, and removal
of obsolete trading programs that have
been replaced or addressed in other
regulations.

IV. Final Action
EPA has reviewed the Maryland SIP
revision submittal of November 24,
2015, as supplemented on February 17,
2017, seeking approval of revisions to
Maryland regulations that establish
RACT for cement kilns for the 2008
ozone NAAQS in accordance with
requirements in CAA sections 172, 182
and 184, recodifies provisions for
Portland cement plants and IC engines
at natural gas compression stations, and
removes the NOX Budget Trading
Program that has been replaced by other
trading programs or addressed in other
regulations. EPA is approving the
submittal as a revision to the Maryland
SIP in accordance with CAA section
110.
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 revisions to
Maryland regulations COMAR
26.11.01.10, COMAR 26.11.09.08,
COMAR 26.11.29, and COMAR 26.11.30
as discussed in section I of this final
action. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region III Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:22 Mar 27, 2018
Jkt 244001
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.5
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. General Requirements
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);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted under Executive Order 12866.
• 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
5 62
PO 00000
FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the
Comptroller General
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).
C. 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 May 29, 2018. 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 approving Maryland
RACT for cement kilns, removal of
Maryland regulations for obsolete
trading programs, and recodification of
provisions related to cement plants and
IC engines at natural gas compression
stations may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements.
(See section 307(b)(2)).

I. Background
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve State Implementation Plan
(SIP) revisions submitted by the state of
Montana on September 11, 2013. The
submittal revises the portions of the
State Implementation Plan (SIP) that
pertain to the East Helena Lead SIP.
This action is being taken under section
110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) (Act).
DATES: This final rule is effective on
April 27, 2018.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket
Identification Number EPA–R08–OAR–
2017–0634. All documents in the docket
are listed on the https://
www.regulations.gov index. Although

SUMMARY:
The EPA is taking final action
pertaining to SIP revisions that stem
from a June 10, 2013, Montana Board of
Environmental Review Order (Board
Order) which removes a stipulated
condition in an August 4, 1995 Board
Order. The condition limited the
allowable concentration of lead in raw
feed material at the American Chemet
Corporation’s East Helena facility.
Specifically, American Chemet
requested a change to the 1995 Board
Order which would eliminate Exhibit A,
Section 3, Subsection B. This subsection
reads:
‘‘Feed Material into the plant shall have a
quarterly average lead content of less than
0.15%, and an average annual lead content
of less than 0.10%.’’
All other East Helena Lead SIP
provisions, including direct numerical
limits on lead emissions from American
Chemet Corporation’s East Helena
facility, would remain unchanged.
On January 12, 2018, the EPA
published a proposed rulemaking for
this action (83 FR 1602). The proposed
rulemaking discussed the history of the
East Helena lead SIP, including the lead
in feed limits that were created in the

1995 Board Order in order to address
the area’s nonattainment status for the
1978 lead National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). The principal target
for curtailing lead emissions was the
American Smelting and Refining
Company (ASARCO) facility, which was
a lead smelter located adjacent to
American Chemet’s East Helena facility.
In addition to shutting down its
operations in 2001, ASARCO
demolished its stacks in 2009. The EPA
subsequently promulgated a new, more
stringent, lead NAAQS standard (0.15
ug/m3). The final lead NAAQS
rulemaking was published on November
12, 2008 (73 FR 66964) and effective
December 31, 2011. The entire state of
Montana, including the East Helena
area, was designated as ‘‘Unclassifiable/
Attainment’’ for the 2008 lead NAAQS.
In response to the DEQ’s request for
the EPA’s guidance concerning
modifying the 1995 Board order to
eliminate Exhibit A, Section 3,
Subsection B, the EPA sent a letter
dated December 18, 2009 (see docket)
which outlined conditions which the
state of Montana must meet in order for
Exhibit A, Section 3, Subsection B to be
removed from the East Helena lead SIP
and, as outlined in 83 FR 1602, those
conditions have been met. For details,
please see the January 12, 2018 notice
proposing approval of the revision.
II. Response to Comments
The EPA received two public
comments on our proposed action to
approve Montana’s September 11, 2013
SIP submittal. One comment was
submitted by Neal Blossom, Director of
Global Environmental and Regulatory
Affairs for American Chemet
Corporation. The other comment was
submitted anonymously. Below is a
summary of the comments and the
EPA’s responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On November 13, 2017, (82 FR 52259), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maryland. In the NPR, EPA
proposed approval of revisions to Maryland regulations pertaining to
RACT for cement kilns, revisions to and recodification of certain
provisions for Portland cement plants and IC engines at natural gas
compression stations, and removal of the obsolete NOX
Reduction and Trading Program that has been replaced by other trading
programs or addressed in other regulations. The formal SIP revision
(Maryland SIP #15-04) was submitted on November 24, 2015 by the State
of Maryland, through the Maryland Department of the Environment (MDE),
for approval into the Maryland SIP.
The submission is comprised of three State actions pertaining to
amendments to the Code of Maryland Regulations (COMAR) 26.11.01.10,
COMAR 26.11.09.08, COMAR 26.11.29, and COMAR 26.11.30. The amendments
address the requirement for NOX RACT for cement kilns for
the 2008 ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), the
removal of COMAR provisions related to the obsolete NOX
Budget Trading Program under the NOX SIP Call \1\ (that has
been replaced by other trading programs), the consolidation of all
existing and new requirements for cement kilns into one COMAR
regulation, the consolidation of all existing and new requirements for
IC engines into one COMAR regulation, the addition of new particulate
matter (PM) monitoring requirements, and the addition of an alternate
monitoring option for visible emissions at cement kilns. On February
17, 2017, MDE provided a letter to EPA clarifying the NOX
RACT limits and withdrawing from EPA's consideration a provision of its
regulation for natural gas compression stations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for
Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for
Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone, 63 FR 57371
(October 27, 1998).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As explained in the NPR, three areas or portions of areas in
Maryland were designated as nonattainment under the 2008 ozone NAAQS
(77 FR 30088, May 21, 2012). Under section 182 of the CAA, states must
review and revise the RACT requirements in their SIP to ensure that
these requirements would still be considered RACT under the new, more
stringent NAAQS. Major stationary sources \2\ of ozone precursor
[[Page 13193]]
emissions located in ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate
and above (and sources located in the Ozone Transport Region (OTR), of
which the entire state of Maryland is a part) are subject to RACT
requirements. See sections 182(b)(2) and 184(b)(2) of the CAA. Section
182(f) of the CAA specifically requires RACT for major stationary
sources of NOX. The cement kilns in Maryland are major
stationary sources of NOX and are therefore required to be
evaluated for NOX RACT under the 2008 ozone NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ A major stationary source of NOX in a marginal or
moderate ozone nonattainment area, or in an ozone transport region,
is a source that emits or has the potential to emit 100 tons of
NOX.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NOX Budget Trading Program was established under the
NOX SIP Call to allow electric generating units (EGUs)
greater than 25 megawatts and industrial non-electric generating units
(or non-EGUs) with a rated heat input greater than 250 million British
thermal units per hour (MMBtu/hr) (referred to as large non-EGUs) to
participate in a regional NOX cap and trade program. The
NOX SIP call also established NOX reduction
requirements for other non-EGUs that were not a part of the
NOX Budget Trading Program, including cement kilns and
stationary IC engines. Maryland regulations COMAR 26.11.29--
NOX Reduction Requirements and Trading Program and COMAR
26.11.30--Policies and Procedures Relating to Maryland's NOX
Reduction and Trading Program, were previously approved into the
Maryland SIP to implement the NOX Budget Trading Program and
allowed EGUs and large non-EGUs in the state to participate in the
regional NOX cap and trade program established under EPA's
NOX SIP Call. COMAR 26.11.29 also included NOX
reductions, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements for cement kilns
and IC engines.
EPA discontinued administration of the NOX Budget
Trading Program in 2009 upon the start of the Clean Air Interstate Rule
(CAIR) trading programs.\3\ The NOX SIP Call requirements
continued to apply, and EGUs that were previously trading under the
NOX Budget Trading Program continued to meet NOX
SIP Call requirements under the more stringent requirements of the CAIR
ozone season trading program. Large non-EGUs were not addressed in
CAIR. Therefore, states needed to assess their state requirements and
take regulatory action as necessary to ensure that all their non-EGU
obligations continued to be met. After EPA discontinued the
NOX Budget Trading Program, Maryland's EGU obligations under
the NOX SIP Call continued to be addressed in Maryland
regulation COMAR 26.11.28--Clean Air Interstate Rule and later in
CSAPR. Maryland's large non-EGU reduction requirements are largely
addressed in separate rulemaking actions under other COMAR regulations
and discussed in more detail in the NPR for this rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ CAIR was subsequently vacated and remanded. See North
Carolina v. EPA, 531 F.3d 896 (D.C. Cir. 2008), modified by 550 F.3d
1176 (remanding CAIR). CAIR was replaced with the Cross-State Air
Pollution Rule (CSAPR) (76 FR 48208, August 8, 2011), which, after
legal challenges, was implemented starting in January 2015.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis
Revised COMAR 26.11.30 establishes a limit of 3.4 pounds (lbs) of
NOX per ton of clinker (lbs NOX/ton of clinker)
for long, dry kilns, and 2.4 lbs NOX/ton of clinker for pre-
calciner kilns. Maryland's November 13, 2015 submittal explained that
NOX RACT for cement kilns, which are major stationary
sources of NOX subject to RACT requirements, was established
consistent with the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) recommended RACT
requirements for the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The 2007 OTC Technical Support
Document on Identification and Evaluation of Candidate Control Measures
\4\ (OTC TSD) recommended NOX emission rates for cement
kilns based on applying a 60 percent reduction to uncontrolled
emissions. Maryland's February 17, 2017 supplemental submission
provided additional clarification on the justification for the
NOX RACT limits for the cement kilns. MDE also provided an
estimate of costs to comply with the revised NOX rates for
cement kilns, including the costs to install selective non-catalytic
reduction (SNCR) controls to meet the more stringent NOX
rate limits established by its May 21, 2010 regulatory action and the
additional costs to increase the amount of reagent used in the SNCR to
meet the requirements in its July 10, 2015 action further lowering the
NOX emission rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Finding of Significant Contribution and Rulemaking for
Certain States in the Ozone Transport Assessment Group Region for
Purposes of Reducing Regional Transport of Ozone, 63 FR 57371
(October 27, 1998).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA agrees with Maryland's determination of NOX RACT for
cement kilns for the 2008 ozone NAAQS, based on our analysis of the
cost effectiveness associated with installation of SNCR, the cost
effectiveness for additional operating costs for the increase in
ammonia use, as well as the technological considerations involved with
further increasing the amount of ammonia used.
The November 24, 2015 SIP revision submittal also included several
state regulatory actions for inclusion into the Maryland SIP. On May
21, 2010, Maryland repealed COMAR 26.11.29 and COMAR 26.11.30, with a
State effective date of May 31, 2010. The requirements for certain
large non-electric generating units (EGUs), cement kilns, and IC
engines pursuant to the NOX SIP Call continue to apply, as
explained in the NPR and noted previously. Therefore, Maryland
recodified certain portions of the Portland cement plant and natural
gas compression station provisions (formerly found at COMAR
26.11.29.15) into new COMAR 26.11.29 (with a State effective date of
July 20, 2015), retitled NOX Reduction Requirements for Non-
Electric Generating Units. The cement kiln provisions necessary to
address the NOX SIP Call requirements were revised to add a
compliance date of April 1, 2017 for the existing NOX
emission rate limits in the regulation and to remove an alternative
control method.
COMAR 26.11.30 formerly included large non-EGUs as participants in
the NOX Reduction and Trading Program and established an
ozone season allocation of 947 tons of NOX for the large
non-EGUs at the only kraft pulp mill located in Maryland. With repeal
of the NOX Reduction and Trading Program, Maryland modified
its kraft pulp mill regulation in COMAR 26.11.14.07 to limit
NOX emissions from fuel burning equipment at kraft pulp
mills to 947 tons per year (matching the ozone season allocation
formerly in COMAR 26.11.30). Maryland is currently in the process of
developing regulations for inclusion in the SIP amending the State's
provisions for kraft pulp mills for addressing NOX SIP Call
obligations and also addressing the State's ongoing NOX SIP
Call obligations with respect to other large non-EGUs.
Other specific requirements of the revised Maryland COMAR
regulations and the rationale for EPA's proposed action are explained
in the NPR and the technical support document (TSD) for the NPR
(available in the docket for this rulemaking at www.regulations.gov)
and will not be restated here.
III. Public Comments and EPA's Response
EPA received two public comments on our November 13, 2017 action
proposing to approve Maryland's SIP submittal of November 24, 2015, as
supplemented on February 17, 2017.
[[Page 13194]]
Comment 1--The commenter provided statements relating to greenhouse
gases and climate change.
EPA Response to Comment 1--This comment is not relevant to this
rulemaking action. This action pertains to RACT for cement kilns,
recodification of provisions for Portland cement plants and IC engines
at natural gas compression stations, and removal of obsolete trading
programs that have been replaced or addressed in other regulations.
Comment 2--The commenter expressed concern over unnecessary and
burdensome regulations, the regulatory process, and the associated
costs of regulations, particularly those issued by EPA.
EPA Response to Comment 2--As the comment is neither supportive of,
critical of, nor specific to this action, no response is provided. This
action pertains to RACT for cement kilns, recodification of provisions
for Portland cement plants and IC engines at natural gas compression
stations, and removal of obsolete trading programs that have been
replaced or addressed in other regulations.
IV. Final Action
EPA has reviewed the Maryland SIP revision submittal of November
24, 2015, as supplemented on February 17, 2017, seeking approval of
revisions to Maryland regulations that establish RACT for cement kilns
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS in accordance with requirements in CAA
sections 172, 182 and 184, recodifies provisions for Portland cement
plants and IC engines at natural gas compression stations, and removes
the NOX Budget Trading Program that has been replaced by
other trading programs or addressed in other regulations. EPA is
approving the submittal as a revision to the Maryland SIP in accordance
with CAA section 110.
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 revisions
to Maryland regulations COMAR 26.11.01.10, COMAR 26.11.09.08, COMAR
26.11.29, and COMAR 26.11.30 as discussed in section I of this final
action. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region III 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.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. General Requirements
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);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
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, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General
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).
C. 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 May 29, 2018. 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 approving Maryland RACT for cement kilns, removal of
Maryland regulations for obsolete trading programs, and recodification
of provisions related to cement plants and IC engines at natural gas
compression stations may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
