SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Clean Air Act (CAA or Act)
establishes a process for air quality
management through the establishment
and implementation of the NAAQS.
After the promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS, EPA is required to
designate areas, pursuant to section
107(d)(1) of the CAA, as attainment,
nonattainment, or unclassifiable. On
September 21, 2006, EPA revised the
primary and secondary 24-hour NAAQS
for PM2.5 at a level of 35 micrograms per
cubic meter (mg/m3), based on a 3-year
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:09 May 31, 2018
Jkt 244001
average of the annual 98th percentile of
24-hour PM2.5 concentrations. See 71 FR
61144 (October 17, 2006). EPA
established the standards based on
significant evidence and numerous
health studies demonstrating that
serious health effects are associated
with exposures to particulate matter.
The process for designating areas
following promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS is contained in section
107(d)(1) of the CAA. On October 8,
2009, EPA designated areas across the
country as nonattainment,
unclassifiable, or unclassifiable/
attainment 1 for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS based upon air quality
monitoring data from these monitors for
calendar years 2006–2008. See 74 FR
58688. The monitor in the Etowah
County Area had incomplete data for
the 2006–2008 timeframe. Therefore,
EPA designated Etowah County as
unclassifiable for the 2006 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. Id.
As discussed in section III, below, the
monitor in the Etowah County Area now
has sufficient data to determine that the
Etowah County Area is in attainment of
the 2006 primary and secondary 24hour PM2.5 NAAQS. Therefore, on
March 22, 2018, Alabama submitted a
request for EPA to redesignate Area to
attainment for these NAAQS.2
II. What are the criteria for
redesignating an area from
unclassifiable to unclassifiable/
attainment?
Section 107(d)(3) of the CAA provides
the framework for changing the area
designations for any NAAQS pollutants.
Section 107(d)(3)(A) provides that the
Administrator may notify the Governor
of any state that the designation of an
area should be revised ‘‘on the basis of
air quality data, planning and control
considerations, or any other air quality1 For the initial PM area designations in 2009 (for
the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS), EPA used a
designation category of ‘‘unclassifiable/attainment’’
for areas that had monitors showing attainment of
the standard and were not contributing to nearby
violations and for areas that did not have monitors
but for which EPA had reason to believe were likely
attaining the standard and not contributing to
nearby violations. EPA used the category
‘‘unclassifiable’’ for areas in which EPA could not
determine, based upon available information,
whether or not the NAAQS was being met and/or
EPA had not determined the area to be contributing
to nearby violations. EPA reserves the ‘‘attainment’’
category for when EPA redesignates a
nonattainment area that has attained the relevant
NAAQS and has an approved maintenance plan.
2 Although Alabama requested redesignation of
the Area to ‘‘attainment,’’ EPA is proposing to
redesignate the area to ‘‘unclassifiable/attainment’’
because, as noted above, EPA reserves the
‘‘attainment’’ category for when EPA redesignates a
nonattainment area that has attained the relevant
NAAQS and has an approved maintenance plan.

related considerations the Administrator
deems appropriate.’’ The Act further
provides in section 107(d)(3)(D) that
even if the Administrator has not
notified a state Governor that a
designation should be revised, the
Governor of any state may, on the
Governor’s own motion, submit a
request to revise the designation of any
area, and the Administrator must
approve or deny the request.
When approving or denying a request
to redesignate an area, EPA bases its
decision on the air quality data for the
area as well as the considerations
provided under section 107(d)(3)(A).3 In
keeping with section 107(d)(1)(A), areas
that are redesignated to unclassifiable/
attainment must meet the requirements
for attainment areas and thus must meet
the relevant NAAQS. In addition, the
area must not contribute to ambient air
quality in a nearby area that does not
meet the NAAQS. The relevant
monitoring data must be collected and
quality-assured in accordance with 40
CFR part 58 and recorded in the EPA
Air Quality System (AQS) database. The
designated monitors generally should
have remained at the same location for
the duration of the monitoring period
upon which the redesignation request is
based.4
III. What is EPA’s rationale for
proposing to redesignate the Area?
In order to redesignate the Area from
unclassifiable to unclassifiable/
attainment for the 2006 primary and
secondary 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS, the
3-year average of annual 98th percentile
24-hour concentration values (i.e.,
design value) over the most recent
3-year period must be less than or equal
to 35 mg/m3 at all monitoring sites in the
Area over the full 3-year period, as
determined in accordance with 40 CFR
50.18 and Appendix N of Part 50. EPA
reviewed PM2.5 monitoring data from
the monitoring station in the Etowah
County Area for the 2006 primary and
secondary 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS for the
3-year period from 2014–2016. These
data have been quality-assured,
certified, and recorded in AQS by
Alabama, and the monitoring location
has not changed during the monitoring
period. As summarized in Table 1, the
design value for the monitor in the Area
3 While CAA section 107(d)(3)(E) also lists
specific requirements for redesignations, those
requirements only apply to redesignations of
nonattainment areas to attainment and therefore are
not applicable in the context of a redesignation of
an area from unclassifiable to unclassifiable/
attainment.

EPA Air Quality Management Division, entitled
‘‘Procedures for Processing Requests to Redesignate
Areas to Attainment’’ (September 4, 1992).

Because the 3-year design value,
based on valid, quality-assured data,
demonstrates that the Area meets the
2006 primary and secondary 24-hour
PM2.5 standards, EPA is proposing to
redesignate the Etowah County Area
from unclassifiable to unclassifiable/
attainment for this NAAQS.
IV. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing to approve
Alabama’s March 22, 2018,
redesignation request and to redesignate
the Etowah County Area from
unclassifiable to unclassifiable/
attainment for the 2006 primary and
secondary 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS. If
finalized, approval of the redesignation
request would change the legal
designation, found at 40 CFR part 81, of
Etowah County from unclassifiable to
unclassifiable/attainment for the 2006
primary and secondary 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS.
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews

Under the CAA, redesignation of an
area to unclassifiable/attainment is an
action that affects the status of a
geographical area and does not impose
any additional regulatory requirements
on sources beyond those imposed by
state law. A redesignation to
unclassifiable/attainment does not
create any new requirements.
Accordingly, this proposed action

merely proposes to redesignate an area
to unclassifiable/attainment and does
not impose additional requirements. For
that reason, this proposed 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 redesignations 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
• Will not have disproportionate
human health or environmental effects

This action 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
County, the action 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.

II. What are the criteria for redesignating an area from unclassifiable

remained at the same location for the duration of the monitoring period
upon which the redesignation request is based.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ While CAA section 107(d)(3)(E) also lists specific
requirements for redesignations, those requirements only apply to
redesignations of nonattainment areas to attainment and therefore
are not applicable in the context of a redesignation of an area from
unclassifiable to unclassifiable/attainment.

Management Division, entitled ``Procedures for Processing Requests
to Redesignate Areas to Attainment'' (September 4, 1992).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. What is EPA's rationale for proposing to redesignate the Area?
In order to redesignate the Area from unclassifiable to
unclassifiable/attainment for the 2006 primary and secondary 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS, the 3-year average of annual 98th percentile
24-hour concentration values (i.e., design value) over the most recent
3-year period must be less than or equal to 35 [micro]g/m\3\ at all
monitoring sites in the Area over the full 3-year period, as determined
in accordance with 40 CFR 50.18 and Appendix N of Part 50. EPA reviewed
PM2.5 monitoring data from the monitoring station in the
Etowah County Area for the 2006 primary and secondary 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS for the 3-year period from 2014-2016. These data
have been quality-assured, certified, and recorded in AQS by Alabama,
and the monitoring location has not changed during the monitoring
period. As summarized in Table 1, the design value for the monitor in
the Area
[[Page 25424]]
for the 2014-2016 period is well below the 2006 primary and secondary
24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.
Table 1--2006 24-Hour PM2.5 Design Value for the Monitor in the Etowah
County Area for 2014-2016

2014-2016
Local site name Monitoring site design value
([mu]g/m\3\)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Etowah County, AL.............. 01-055-0010............ 17
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because the 3-year design value, based on valid, quality-assured
data, demonstrates that the Area meets the 2006 primary and secondary
24-hour PM2.5 standards, EPA is proposing to redesignate the
Etowah County Area from unclassifiable to unclassifiable/attainment for
this NAAQS.
IV. Proposed Action
EPA is proposing to approve Alabama's March 22, 2018, redesignation
request and to redesignate the Etowah County Area from unclassifiable
to unclassifiable/attainment for the 2006 primary and secondary 24-hour
PM2.5 NAAQS. If finalized, approval of the redesignation
request would change the legal designation, found at 40 CFR part 81, of
Etowah County from unclassifiable to unclassifiable/attainment for the
2006 primary and secondary 24-hour PM2.5 NAAQS.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, redesignation of an area to unclassifiable/
attainment is an action that affects the status of a geographical area
and does not impose any additional regulatory requirements on sources
beyond those imposed by state law. A redesignation to unclassifiable/
attainment does not create any new requirements. Accordingly, this
proposed action merely proposes to redesignate an area to
unclassifiable/attainment and does not impose additional requirements.
For that reason, this proposed 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 redesignations 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
Will not have disproportionate human health or
environmental effects under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994).
This action 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 County, the action
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.
