IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On June 15, 2018 (83 FR 25981), EPA
issued a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) for the State of Rhode Island. In
the NPRM, EPA proposed approval of
SIP revisions submitted by the Rhode
Island Department of Environmental
Management (RI DEM) on February 10,
2017. This SIP submittal included six
revised Air Pollution Control
Regulations (APCRs): No. 8, ‘‘Sulfur
Content of Fuels;’’ No. 19, ‘‘Control of
Volatile Organic Compounds from
Surface Coating Operations;’’ No. 27,
‘‘Control of Nitrogen Oxides
Emissions;’’ No. 35, ‘‘Control of Volatile
Organic Compounds and Volatile
Hazardous Air Pollutants from Wood
Products Manufacturing Operations;’’
No. 36, ‘‘Control of Emissions from
Organic Solvent Cleaning;’’ and General
Definitions.
The NPRM provides the rationale for
EPA’s proposed approval, which will
not be restated here.
II. Response to Comments
EPA received two anonymous
comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. The comments
address subjects outside the scope of the
proposed action, did not explain (or
provide a legal basis for) how the
proposed action should differ in any
way, and made no specific mention of
the proposed action. Therefore, the
comments are not germane and EPA
provides no further response.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the February 10,
2017 RI DEM SIP submittal consisting of
the six revised APCRs: No. 8, ‘‘Sulfur
Content of Fuels’’ (with the exception of
sections 8.7 and 8.8.3); No. 19, ‘‘Control
of Volatile Organic Compounds from
Surface Coating Operations’’ (with the
exception of sections 19.2.2 and 19.9.2);
No. 27, ‘‘Control of Nitrogen Oxides
Emissions’’ (with the exception of
section 27.7.3); No. 35, ‘‘Control of
Volatile Organic Compounds and
Volatile Hazardous Air Pollutants from
Wood Products Manufacturing
Operations’’ (with the exception of
sections 35.2.3 and 35.9.3); No. 36,
‘‘Control of Emissions from Organic
Solvent Cleaning’’ (with the exception
of sections 36.2.2 and 36.14.2); and

General Definitions (with the exception
of the provision entitled ‘‘Application’’
under the ‘‘General Provisions’’).
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 Rhode
Island regulations described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 1 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 in the next
update to the SIP compilation.1
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with RULES
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. 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 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 Orders12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• This action is not an Executive
Order 13771 regulatory action because
this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866;
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
1 62
FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

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
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 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 October 12, 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 may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

I. Background and Purpose
On June 15, 2018 (83 FR 25981), EPA issued a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of Rhode Island. In the NPRM, EPA
proposed approval of SIP revisions submitted by the Rhode Island
Department of Environmental Management (RI DEM) on February 10, 2017.
This SIP submittal included six revised Air Pollution Control
Regulations (APCRs): No. 8, ``Sulfur Content of Fuels;'' No. 19,
``Control of Volatile Organic Compounds from Surface Coating
Operations;'' No. 27, ``Control of Nitrogen Oxides Emissions;'' No. 35,
``Control of Volatile Organic Compounds and Volatile Hazardous Air
Pollutants from Wood Products Manufacturing Operations;'' No. 36,
``Control of Emissions from Organic Solvent Cleaning;'' and General
Definitions.
The NPRM provides the rationale for EPA's proposed approval, which
will not be restated here.
II. Response to Comments
EPA received two anonymous comments in response to the notice of
proposed rulemaking. The comments address subjects outside the scope of
the proposed action, did not explain (or provide a legal basis for) how
the proposed action should differ in any way, and made no specific
mention of the proposed action. Therefore, the comments are not germane
and EPA provides no further response.
III. Final Action
EPA is approving the February 10, 2017 RI DEM SIP submittal
consisting of the six revised APCRs: No. 8, ``Sulfur Content of Fuels''
(with the exception of sections 8.7 and 8.8.3); No. 19, ``Control of
Volatile Organic Compounds from Surface Coating Operations'' (with the
exception of sections 19.2.2 and 19.9.2); No. 27, ``Control of Nitrogen
Oxides Emissions'' (with the exception of section 27.7.3); No. 35,
``Control of Volatile Organic Compounds and Volatile Hazardous Air
Pollutants from Wood Products Manufacturing Operations'' (with the
exception of sections 35.2.3 and 35.9.3); No. 36, ``Control of
Emissions from Organic Solvent Cleaning'' (with the exception of
sections 36.2.2 and 36.14.2); and
[[Page 39889]]
General Definitions (with the exception of the provision entitled
``Application'' under the ``General Provisions'').
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 Rhode
Island regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set
forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov and
at the EPA Region 1 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 in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

\1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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 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 Orders12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory
action because this action is not significant 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 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 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 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 October 12, 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 may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
