Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 228 / Tuesday, November 26, 2019 / Rules and Regulations
Connecticut’s progress report notes that
Connecticut has made substantial
progress toward the emissions reduction
expected for the first regional planning
period and that visibility in the Federal
Class I areas affected by emission from
Connecticut is improving and has
already met the applicable reasonable
progress goals for 2018. The EPA is
approving Connecticut’s determination
that the State’s regional haze SIP is
adequate to meet these reasonable
progress goals for the first
implementation period, which extends
through 2018, and requires no
substantive revision at this time.
DATES: This rule is effective on

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On September 25, 2019 (84 FR 50363),
EPA published a notice of proposed
rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of
Connecticut proposing approval of the
Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:52 Nov 25, 2019
Jkt 250001
and a determination of adequacy of the
regional haze plan for the first planning
period. The formal SIP revision was
submitted by Connecticut on June 30,
2015.
The rationale for EPA’s proposed
action is explained in the NPRM and
will not be restated here. No public
comments were received on the NPRM.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Connecticut’s June
30, 2015 Regional Haze 5-Year Progress
Report SIP submittal and determination
of adequacy of the regional haze plan for
the first planning period as meeting the
requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and
(h).
III. 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. 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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);
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
• 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 January 27, 2020.
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).)

The NPRM provides the rationale for
EPA’s proposed approval, which will
not be restated here. EPA received one
comment on the NPRM.
II. Response to Comments
Comment: The anonymous comment
stated ‘‘EPA should review the NOX
RACT evaluation for the five sources’’ to
(1) ‘‘review the most recent stack testing
or CEMS reports to evaluate the
particular emission limits applicable;’’
(2) ‘‘evaluate minor changes to a
source’s operating scenarios such as
evaluating if a source can change fuel
sources from natural gas and Number 6
fuel oil to using only natural gas and
limiting fuel oil;’’ and (3) ‘‘consider
simple cost effective measures that don’t
require installation of new and
innovative technologies.’’
Response: As explained in the
proposal and in Vermont’s SIP, three of
the five major NOX sources in Vermont
are subject to New Source Review (NSR)
most stringent emission rate (MSER).
Joseph C. McNeil Generating Station,
OMYA, Inc. Vermont Marble Power
Division, and Ryegate Power Station, are
each subject to major new source review
permitting under Vermont Air Pollution
Control Regulation 5–502, ‘‘Major
Stationary Sources and Major
Modifications’’ and are subject to
emission rates, which are no less
stringent than RACT. Specifically, the
nitrous oxide emissions from
combustion turbines at OMYA, Inc.
Vermont Marble Power Division are
consistent with EPA’s ‘‘Alternative
Control Techniques Document—NOX
Emissions from Process Heaters’’,
established in September 1993 (EPA–

II. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background and Purpose
On September 25, 2019 (84 FR 50363), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) for the State of Connecticut proposing
approval of the Regional Haze 5-Year Progress Report and a
determination of adequacy of the regional haze plan for the first
planning period. The formal SIP revision was submitted by Connecticut
on June 30, 2015.
The rationale for EPA's proposed action is explained in the NPRM
and will not be restated here. No public comments were received on the
NPRM.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving Connecticut's June 30, 2015 Regional Haze 5-Year
Progress Report SIP submittal and determination of adequacy of the
regional haze plan for the first planning period as meeting the
requirements of 40 CFR 51.308(g) and (h).
III. 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. 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 Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
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 January 27, 2020. 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).)
