SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Through letters dated April 4, 2017,
August 22, 2017, and September 28,
2018, the State of North Carolina,
through NCDEQ, submitted three SIP
revisions for EPA approval.1 These SIP
revisions include structural

respectively.

amendments to 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 02D
Section .0501—Compliance with
Emission Control Standards, and
typographical amendments to 15A
NCAC 02D Section .0536—Particulate
Emissions from Electric Utility Boilers.2
Additionally, the SIP revisions
incorporate, for primarily structural and
organizational reasons, four new rules:
15A NCAC 02D Sections .2609—
Particulate Testing Methods, .2610—
Opacity, .2611—Sulfur Dioxide Testing
Methods, and .2617—Total Reduced
Sulfur. EPA has determined that a
number of these changes to the North
Carolina SIP are either structural or
minor and ministerial and do not alter
the meaning of any SIP provisions. EPA
has also determined that all other
changes are SIP-strengthening, and that
all are consistent with federal
regulations regarding source testing and
are approvable pursuant to section 110
of the CAA.
The changes to the North Carolina SIP
that are the subject of this final
rulemaking, as well as EPA’s analysis of
the changes and rationale for approving
them, are described in further detail in
a notice of proposed rulemaking
(NPRM) published on February 12, 2019
(84 FR 3381). Comments on the NPRM
were due on or before March 14, 2019.
EPA received no relevant comments on
the proposed action. EPA is now taking
final action to approve these revisions.
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, 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 under Subchapter 2D, of
North Carolina’s SIP, Sections .0501—
Compliance with Emission Control
Standards, .0536—Particulate
Emissions from Electric Utility Boilers,
.2609—Particulate Testing Methods,
.2610—Opacity, .2611—Sulfur Dioxide
Testing Methods, and .2617—Total
Reduced Sulfur, all state effective June
1, 2008. EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and 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
SIP, have been incorporated by

federally-approved into the SIP at 40 CFR
52.1770(c), 15A NCAC 02D is referred to as

Requirements.’’

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.3
III. Final Action
EPA is approving North Carolina’s
April 4, 2017, August 22, 2017, and
September 28, 2018, SIP revisions.
Specifically, EPA is approving, under
Subchapter 2D of the North Carolina
SIP, the addition of new Sections .2609,
.2610, .2611, and .2617, as well as
amendments to existing Sections .0501
and .0536. EPA is approving these SIP
revisions because the Agency has
determined that they are consistent with
the CAA and will not interfere with
attainment or maintenance of any
NAAQS, reasonable further progress, or
any other applicable requirement.
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 CAA. 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

62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

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).
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
PO 00000

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 June 10, 2019. 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Through letters dated April 4, 2017, August 22, 2017, and September
28, 2018, the State of North Carolina, through NCDEQ, submitted three
SIP revisions for EPA approval.\1\ These SIP revisions include
structural amendments to 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC)
02D Section .0501--Compliance with Emission Control Standards, and
typographical amendments to 15A NCAC 02D Section .0536--Particulate
Emissions from Electric Utility Boilers.\2\ Additionally, the SIP
revisions incorporate, for primarily structural and organizational
reasons, four new rules: 15A NCAC 02D Sections .2609--Particulate
Testing Methods, .2610--Opacity, .2611--Sulfur Dioxide Testing Methods,
and .2617--Total Reduced Sulfur. EPA has determined that a number of
these changes to the North Carolina SIP are either structural or minor
and ministerial and do not alter the meaning of any SIP provisions. EPA
has also determined that all other changes are SIP-strengthening, and
that all are consistent with federal regulations regarding source
testing and are approvable pursuant to section 110 of the CAA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA received the SIP revisions on April 28, 2017, September
6, 2017, and October 10, 2018, respectively.
\2\ In the table of North Carolina regulations federally-
approved into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.1770(c), 15A NCAC 02D is referred
to as ``Subchapter 2D Air Pollution Control Requirements.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes to the North Carolina SIP that are the subject of this
final rulemaking, as well as EPA's analysis of the changes and
rationale for approving them, are described in further detail in a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on February 12, 2019 (84
FR 3381). Comments on the NPRM were due on or before March 14, 2019.
EPA received no relevant comments on the proposed action. EPA is now
taking final action to approve these revisions.
II. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, 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 under Subchapter
2D, of North Carolina's SIP, Sections .0501--Compliance with Emission
Control Standards, .0536--Particulate Emissions from Electric Utility
Boilers, .2609--Particulate Testing Methods, .2610--Opacity, .2611--
Sulfur Dioxide Testing Methods, and .2617--Total Reduced Sulfur, all
state effective June 1, 2008. EPA has made, and will continue to make,
these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and 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 SIP, have been incorporated by
[[Page 14020]]
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.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
III. Final Action
EPA is approving North Carolina's April 4, 2017, August 22, 2017,
and September 28, 2018, SIP revisions. Specifically, EPA is approving,
under Subchapter 2D of the North Carolina SIP, the addition of new
Sections .2609, .2610, .2611, and .2617, as well as amendments to
existing Sections .0501 and .0536. EPA is approving these SIP revisions
because the Agency has determined that they are consistent with the CAA
and will not interfere with attainment or maintenance of any NAAQS,
reasonable further progress, or any other applicable requirement.
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 CAA. 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).
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 June 10, 2019. 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).
