are not designated as unlisted
procedures. For CPT/HCPCS codes that
are not assigned RVUs in paragraphs
(i)(2)(i) or (iii) of this section, total RVUs
are developed based on various charge
data sources. For these CPT/HCPCS
codes, the nationwide 80th percentile
billed charges are obtained, where
statistically credible, from the FAIR
Health database. For any remaining
CPT/HCPCS codes, the nationwide 80th
percentile billed charges are obtained,
where statistically credible, from the
Part B component of the Medicare
Standard Analytical File 5 Percent
Sample. For any remaining CPT/HCPCS
codes that have not been assigned RVUs
using the preceding data sources, the
nationwide total RVUs are calculated by
summing the work expense and nonfacility practice expense RVUs found in
Medicare ASP Pricing RBRVS. The
resulting nationwide total RVUs
obtained using these data sources are
multiplied by the geographic area
adjustment factors determined pursuant
to paragraph (i)(2)(iv) of this section to
obtain the area-specific total RVUs.

Representative CPT/HCPCS codes are
statistically selected and weighted so as
to give a weighted average RVU
comparable to the weighted average
RVU of the entire pathology/laboratory
CPT/HCPCS code group (the selected
CPT/HCPCS codes are set forth in the
Milliman, Inc., Health Cost Guidelines
fee survey). The 80th percentile charge
for each selected CPT/HCPCS code is
obtained from the FAIR Health database.
A nationwide conversion factor (a
monetary amount) is calculated as set
forth in paragraph (i)(3)(i) of this
section. The nationwide conversion
factor is trended forward to the effective
time period for the charges, as set forth
in paragraph (i)(3)(ii) of this section.
The resulting amount is multiplied by a
geographic area adjustment factor
determined pursuant to paragraph
(i)(3)(iv) of this section, resulting in the
geographically-adjusted 80th percentile
conversion factor for the effective charge
period.

Charges from each database are then
trended forward to the effective time
period for the charges, as set forth in
paragraph (l)(3)(i) of this section.
Charges for each HCPCS code from each
data source are combined into an
average 80th percentile charge by means
of the methodology set forth in

outliers are identified and removed. In
cases where none of the charges are
removed, the average charge is
calculated as a mean of all reported
charges.

Air Quality Designations for the 2010
Primary Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) National
Ambient Air Quality Standard—Round
4
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
This final rule establishes the
initial air quality designations for
certain areas in the United States (U.S.)
for the 2010 primary sulfur dioxide
(SO2) National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) is designating
the areas as either nonattainment,
attainment/unclassifiable, or
unclassifiable. The designations are
based on application of the EPA’s
nationwide analytical approach and
technical analysis, including evaluation
of monitoring data and air quality
modeling, to determine the appropriate
designation and area boundary based on
the weight of evidence for each area.
The Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) directs
areas designated as nonattainment to
undertake certain planning and
pollution control activities to attain the
SO2 NAAQS as expeditiously as
practicable. This is the fourth and final
set of actions to designate areas of the
U.S. for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS; there are
no remaining undesignated areas in the
U.S. for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
DATES: The final rule is effective on
April 30, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
public docket for these SO2 designations
at https://www.regulations.gov under
Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–

II. What is the purpose of this action?
The purpose of this final action is to
announce and promulgate initial air
quality designations for certain areas in
the U.S. for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, in
accordance with the requirements of the
CAA. The EPA is designating areas as
either nonattainment, attainment/

unclassifiable, or unclassifiable, as
defined in Section IV of this action, and
based on evaluating any available
information that was timely received,
including (but not limited to)
appropriate monitoring data and
modeling analyses.
On June 2, 2010, the EPA
Administrator signed a final rule that
revised the primary SO2 NAAQS (75 FR
35520; June 22, 2010) after review of the
existing primary SO2 standards
promulgated on April 30, 1971 (36 FR
8187). The EPA established the revised
primary SO2 NAAQS at 75 parts per
billion (ppb) which is attained when the
3-year average of the annual 99th
percentile of daily maximum 1-hour
average concentrations of SO2 does not
exceed 75 ppb.
The process for designating areas
following promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS is contained in the CAA
section 107(d) (42 U.S.C. 7407(d)). After
promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS, each governor shall
recommend air quality designations,
including the appropriate boundaries
for nonattainment areas, to the EPA.2
The EPA considers these
recommendations as part of its duty to
promulgate the formal area designations
and boundaries for the new or revised
NAAQS. By no later than 120 days prior
to promulgating designations, the EPA
is required to notify states, territories,
and tribes, as appropriate, of any
intended modifications to an area
designation or boundary
recommendation that the EPA deems
necessary.
After invoking a 1-year extension of
the deadlines to designate areas, as
provided for in section 107 of the Act,
the EPA completed an initial round of
SO2 designations for certain areas of the
country on July 25, 2013 (referred to as
‘‘Round 1’’).3 Following the initial
designations, three lawsuits were filed
against the EPA in different U.S. District
Courts, alleging the agency had failed to
perform a nondiscretionary duty under
the CAA by not designating all portions
of the country by the June 2, 2013,
deadline. In one of those cases, on
March 2, 2015, the U.S. District Court
for the Northern District of California
entered an enforceable order for the EPA
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with RULES
2 Tribes
are invited to submit recommendations
following promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS
but are not required to do so.
3 A total of 29 areas throughout the U.S. were
designated in this action published on August 5,
2013 (78 FR 47191). The EPA designated all 29
areas nonattainment based on violating monitored
SO2 concentrations from Federal Reference Method
and Federal Equivalent Method monitors that are
sited and operated in accordance with 40 CFR parts
50 and 58 and did not at that time designate any
other areas.

to complete the area designations by
three specific deadlines according to the
court-ordered schedule.4
To meet the first court-ordered
deadline, the Administrator signed final
actions on June 30, 2016, and November
29, 2016, (collectively referred to as
‘‘Round 2’’) designating additional
areas.5 To meet the second deadline of
the court-ordered schedule, the
Administrator signed final actions on
December 21, 2017, and March 28, 2018,
(collectively referred to as ‘‘Round 3’’)
designating most of the remaining areas
of the country.6 Finally, the EPA is
under a December 31, 2020, courtordered deadline, the final of the three
deadlines established by the court, to
designate all remaining undesignated
areas (collectively referred to as ‘‘Round
4’’ or the ‘‘final round’’). These
remaining undesignated areas are: (1)
Those areas which, under the court
order, did not meet the criteria that
required designation in Round 2 and
also were not required to be designated
in Round 3 due to installation and
operation of a new SO2 monitoring
network by January 2017 in the area
meeting EPA’s specifications referenced
in EPA’s SO2 Data Requirements Rule
(DRR); 7 and (2) those areas which EPA
has not otherwise previously designated
for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. With the
completion of Round 4, there are no
remaining undesignated areas for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS.
On or about August 13, 2020,
consistent with section 107(d)(1)(b)(ii)
of the CAA, the EPA notified affected
states of its intended designation of
certain specific areas as either
nonattainment, attainment/
unclassifiable, or unclassifiable for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS. These states then
had the opportunity to demonstrate why
they believed an intended modification
of their original (or updated)
recommendations by the EPA may be
inappropriate. Although not required
under the CAA, the EPA also chose to
provide an opportunity for members of
the public to comment on the EPA’s
August 2020 intended designations, as
the EPA had done for the first, second,
and third rounds of SO2 designations.
The EPA published a notice of
4 Sierra Club v. McCarthy, No. 3–13–cv–3953 (SI)
(N.D. Cal. March 2, 2015).
5 A total of 65 areas throughout the U.S. were
designated in these actions published on July 12,
2016 (81 FR 45039), and December 13, 2016 (81 FR
89870). Of these 65 areas, seven were designated
nonattainment.
6 Most remaining areas of the U.S. were
designated in actions published on January 9, 2018
(83 FR 1098) and April 5, 2018 (83 FR 14597). Of
these areas, six were designated nonattainment.

The final Round 4 2010 SO2 NAAQS
designations and the boundaries of each
area appear in the tables for each state

this document. State recommendations,
EPA’s August 2020 designation

described in Section VI of this action,
the EPA may consider early certified
2018–2020 monitoring data that may be
submitted to the appropriate EPA
Regional office by February 15, 2021.
For the areas being designated
nonattainment, the CAA directs states to
develop and submit State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) to the EPA
within 18 months of the effective date
of this final rule, that meet the
requirements of sections 172(c) and
191–192 of the CAA and provide for
attainment of the NAAQS as
expeditiously as practicable, but not
later than 5 years from the effective date
of final designation.
III. What is the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and
what are the health concerns that it
addresses?
The EPA revised the primary SO2
NAAQS in a final rule published in the
Federal Register on June 22, 2010 (75
FR 35520), which became effective on
August 23, 2010.8 Based on review of
the air quality criteria for oxides of
sulfur and the primary NAAQS for
oxides of sulfur as measured by SO2, the
EPA revised the primary SO2 NAAQS to
provide requisite protection of public
health with an adequate margin of
safety. Specifically, the EPA established
a new 1-hour SO2 standard at a level of
75 ppb, which is met at an ambient air
quality monitoring site when the 3-year
average of the annual 99th percentile of
daily maximum 1-hour average
concentrations is less than or equal to
75 ppb, as determined in accordance
with Appendix T of 40 CFR part 50, 40
CFR 50.17(a) and (b). The EPA also
established provisions to revoke both
the existing 24-hour and annual primary
8 Based on the EPA’s review of the air quality
criteria addressing human health effects and the
primary NAAQS for SO2, the agency took final
action to retain the current standard without
revision in a final action published in the Federal
Register on March 18, 2019 (52 FR 9866).

SO2 standards, subject to certain
conditions, 40 CFR 50.4(e).
Current scientific evidence links
short-term exposures to SO2, ranging
from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with an
array of adverse respiratory effects
including bronchoconstriction and
increased asthma symptoms. These
effects are particularly important for
asthmatics at elevated ventilation rates
(e.g., while exercising or playing).
Studies also show a connection between
short-term exposure and increased visits
to emergency departments and hospital
admissions for respiratory illnesses,
particularly in at-risk populations
including children, the elderly and
asthmatics.

IV. What are the CAA requirements for
air quality designations and what
action has the EPA taken to meet these
requirements?
After the EPA promulgates a new or
revised NAAQS, the EPA is required to
designate all areas of the country as
either nonattainment, attainment, or
unclassifiable, for that NAAQS pursuant
to section 107(d)(1)–(2) of the CAA. As
part of these Round 4 designations, the
EPA is implementing its interpretation
of statutory terms under CAA section
107(d) nationwide and is basing these
designations on the EPA’s nationwide
analytical approach and technical
analysis, including evaluation of
monitoring data and air quality
modeling, applied to the available
evidence that was timely received for
each area.
Regarding statutory definitions and
the EPA’s interpretations of such,
section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA
defines a nonattainment area as an area
that does not meet the NAAQS or that
contributes to a nearby area that does
not meet the NAAQS. An attainment
area is defined by the CAA as any area
that meets the NAAQS and does not
contribute to a nearby area that does not
meet the NAAQS. Unclassifiable areas
are defined by the CAA as those that
cannot be classified on the basis of
available information as meeting or not
meeting the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
For the purpose of this action for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS, the EPA has
interpreted and applied the statutory
definitions as follows. The EPA defines
a nonattainment area as an area that,
based on available information
including (but not limited to)
monitoring data and/or appropriate
modeling analyses, EPA has determined
either: (1) Does not meet the 2010 SO2
NAAQS, or (2) contributes to ambient
air quality in a nearby area that does not
meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:24 Mar 25, 2021
Jkt 253001
In this action, an attainment/
unclassifiable area is defined by the
EPA as an area that, based on available
information including (but not limited
to) appropriate monitoring data and/or
appropriate modeling analyses, EPA has
determined meets the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
and does not likely contribute to
ambient air quality in a nearby area that
does not meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
In this action, an unclassifiable area
is defined by the EPA as an area for
which the available information does
not allow the EPA to determine whether
the area meets the definition of a
nonattainment area or the definition of
an attainment/unclassifiable area.
This nationwide analytical approach
also includes but is not limited to: (1)
EPA’s interpretations of other terms in
the context of Round 4 of the 2010 SO2
NAAQS; (2) the appropriate basis for
characterizing the air quality of an area;
(3) the five-factor analysis (described in
Section V of this action) to determine
the boundaries for each air quality area
under the NAAQS; and (4) the
methodology for appropriately
characterizing SO2 air quality through
monitoring or modeling.
The EPA notes that CAA section
107(d) provides the agency with
discretion to determine how best to
interpret the terms in the definition of
a nonattainment area (e.g., ‘‘contributes
to’’ and ‘‘nearby’’) for a new or revised
NAAQS, given considerations such as
the nature of a specific pollutant, the
types of sources that may contribute to
violations, the form of the standards for
the pollutant, and other relevant
information. In particular, the EPA’s
position is that the statute does not
require the agency to establish bright
line tests or thresholds for what
constitutes ‘‘contribution’’ or ‘‘nearby’’
for purposes of designations.9
Similarly, the EPA’s position is that
the statute permits the EPA to evaluate
the appropriate application of the term
‘‘area’’ to include geographic areas
based upon full or partial county
boundaries, as may be appropriate for a
particular NAAQS. For example, CAA
section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii) explicitly
provides that the EPA can make
modifications to designation
recommendations for an area ‘‘or
portions thereof,’’ and under CAA
section 107(d)(1)(B)(iv) a designation
remains in effect for an area ‘‘or portion

recommend air quality designations,
including the appropriate boundaries
for areas, to the EPA. The EPA reviews
those recommendations and is
authorized to make any modifications
the Administrator deems necessary. The
statute does not define the term
‘‘necessary,’’ but the EPA interprets this
to authorize the Administrator to
modify designations that did not meet
the statutory requirements or were
otherwise inconsistent with the facts or
analysis deemed appropriate by the
Administrator. If the EPA is considering
modifications to a recommendation, we
are required by CAA section
107(d)(1)(B)(ii) to notify the state of any
such intended modifications not less
than 120 days prior to our promulgation
of the final designation. These
notifications are commonly known as
the ‘‘120-day letters.’’ During this
period, if the state or territory does not
agree with the EPA’s proposed
modification, it has an opportunity to
respond to the EPA and to demonstrate
why it believes the modification
proposed by the EPA is inappropriate. If
a state or territory fails to provide any
recommendation for an area, in whole
or in part, the EPA still must promulgate
a designation that the Administrator
deems appropriate, pursuant to CAA
section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii). While CAA
section 107(d) specifically addresses the
designations process between the EPA
and states and territories, the EPA
intends to follow the same process to
the extent practicable for tribes that
submitted designation
recommendations.
V. What guidance did the EPA issue
and how did the EPA apply the
statutory requirements to determine
area designations and boundaries?
In the notice of proposed rulemaking
for the revised SO2 NAAQS (74 FR
64810; December 8, 2009), the EPA
issued proposed guidance on our
approach to implementing the standard,
including our approach to initial area
designations. The EPA solicited
comment on that guidance and, in the
notice of final rulemaking (75 FR 35520;
June 22, 2010), provided further
guidance concerning implementation of
the standard and how to identify
nonattainment areas and boundaries for
the SO2 NAAQS. Subsequently, on
March 24, 2011, the EPA provided
additional designations guidance to
assist states with making their
recommendations for area designations
and boundaries.10 The EPA also issued
10 See, ‘‘Area Designations for the 2010 Revised
Primary Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air
Quality Standards,’’ memorandum to Regional Air
E:\FR\FM\26MRR1.SGM
26MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 57 / Friday, March 26, 2021 / Rules and Regulations
two additional designations guidance
documents on March 20, 2015, and July
22, 2016, specific to Round 2 and Round
3 processes and schedules,
respectively.11
An updated designations guidance
document was issued by the EPA on
September 5, 2019, to better reflect the
Round 4 2010 SO2 NAAQS designations
process and to supplement, where
necessary, prior designations guidance
documents.12 This memorandum
identifies factors that the EPA intended
to evaluate in determining whether
areas are in violation of the 2010 SO2
NAAQS. The document also contains
the factors that the EPA intended to
evaluate in determining the boundaries
for all remaining undesignated areas in
the country. These factors include: (1)
Air quality characterization via ambient
monitoring and/or dispersion modeling
results; (2) emissions-related data; (3)
meteorology; (4) geography and
topography; and (5) jurisdictional
boundaries.13

VI. What air quality information has
the EPA used for these designations?
These designations are based on the
EPA’s application of the nationwide
analytical approach to, and technical
assessment of, the weight of evidence
for each area, including but not limited
to available air quality monitoring data
and related air quality modeling results.
With respect to air quality monitoring
data, the EPA has considered data from
Division Directors, Regions I–X, from Stephen D.
Page, dated March 24, 2011, available at https://

documents first made available to states and other
interested parties in 2013 and updated in 2016. See

at least the most recent three full
calendar years, i.e., 2017–2019. The 1hour primary SO2 standard is violated at
an ambient air quality monitoring site
when the 3-year average of the annual
99th percentile of the daily maximum 1hour average concentrations of SO2
exceeds 75 ppb, as determined in
accordance with Appendix T of 40 CFR
part 50.
In the EPA’s September 2019
memorandum, we noted that Round 4
area designations are based primarily on
ambient monitoring data, including data
from existing and new EPA-approved
monitors that have collected data at
least from January 2017 forward,
pursuant to the DRR. In addition, the
EPA may evaluate related air dispersion
modeling submitted by state air agencies
for two specific circumstances. First,
states may submit air dispersion
modeling of actual or allowable
emissions to support the geographic
extent of a nonattainment boundary.
Second, states may submit air
dispersion modeling of allowable
emissions to demonstrate that new
permanent and federally-enforceable
SO2 emissions limits that subject
sources are meeting provide for
attainment of the NAAQS and represent
a more accurate characterization of
current air quality at the time of
designation than does monitoring data
reflecting past air quality that does not
account for compliance with new limits
and associated enforceable emissions
reductions.
The deadline for Round 4
designations and the practical
difficulties of obtaining complete,
quality-assured, certified SO2
monitoring data for the entirety of
calendar year 2020 in December 2020,
make the EPA’s use of final 2020
monitoring data for this action generally
impracticable. Under normal
circumstances, under the applicable
regulations, the deadline for states to
certify monitoring data for calendar year
2020 is May 1, 2021. However, because
these designations are being
promulgated at the end of calendar year
2020, and because states can make
complete, quality-assured, certified
2020 data available for some areas
quickly in 2021, to address the
impracticability problem, the EPA is
providing a process by which statecertified 2020 monitoring data that
become available early in 2021 could be
used in the Round 4 designations
process.
Provided that this document is
published in the Federal Register no
later than March 31, 2021, the final
Round 4 SO2 designations announced in
this action will be effective on April 30,

2021. If any state submits complete,
quality-assured, certified 2020 data (i.e.,
monitoring data from EPA’s Air Quality
System) to the appropriate EPA
Regional office by February 15, 2021,
supporting a change of the designation
status for any Round 4 area within that
state, and the EPA agrees that a change
of designation status is appropriate, we
will withdraw the designation
announced in this action for such area
and issue another designation that
reflects the inclusion and analysis of
such information. Any designation
modification will occur in a separate
Federal Register action prior to the
April 30, 2021, effective date. We
emphasize that EPA will conduct this
process only for those states that submit
the necessary information by the
deadline of February 15, 2021, and in
those instances where we can complete
our analysis of the information and
effect the change of designation status
before the original effective date
established by this final action.
VII. How do the Round 4 designations
affect areas of Indian country?
There are no violating monitors for
areas of Indian country, so no areas of
Indian country are being designated as
nonattainment or unclassifiable in
Round 4. Any other parts of Indian
country being designated as attainment/
unclassifiable are being designated
along with the surrounding state area.
VIII. Where can I find information
forming the basis for this rule and
exchanges between the EPA, states, and
tribes related to this rule?
Information and data providing the
basis for this action are provided in a
final designations technical support
document (TSD) 14 included in the
docket. The final designations TSD,
intended designations TSD, modeling
files, technical assistance documents,
applicable EPA memoranda, public
comments, and copies of
correspondence regarding this process
between the EPA and the states,
territories, tribes, and other parties, are
available for review at the public docket
for these SO2 designations at https://
www.regulations.gov under Docket ID
No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2020–0037.
The EPA has also established a
website for the initial SO2 designations
14 The single final TSD for this action consists of
a few sections with information that applies to all
affected areas or to certain groups of areas with
some common features, and many sections that are
specific to individual state areas. For convenience,
the term ‘‘TSD’’ is also used generically to refer to
these state-specific sections. For informational
purposes, these individual state-specific sections/
TSDs are available for separate downloading from
the indicated EPA website.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This designation action under CAA
section 107(d) is not subject to the RFA.
The RFA applies only to rules subject to
notice-and-comment rulemaking
requirements under the Administrative
Procedures Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. 553, or
any other statute. Section 107(d)(2)(B) of
the CAA explicitly provides that
designations are exempt from the
notice-and-comment provisions of the
APA. In addition, designations under
CAA section 107(d) are not among the
list of actions that are subject to the
notice-and-comment rulemaking
requirements of CAA section 307(d).
IX. Environmental Justice Concerns
When the EPA establishes a new or
revised NAAQS, the CAA requires the
EPA to designate all areas of the U.S. as
either nonattainment, attainment, or
unclassifiable. This action addresses
designation determinations for certain
areas for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. Area
designations address environmental
justice concerns by ensuring that the
public is properly informed about the
air quality in an area. In locations where
air quality does not meet the NAAQS,
the CAA requires relevant state
authorities to initiate appropriate air
quality management actions to ensure
that all those residing, working,
attending school, or otherwise present
in those areas are protected, regardless
of minority and economic status.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
(UMRA)
This action does not contain any
unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531–1538 and does
not significantly or uniquely affect small
governments. The action imposes no
enforceable duty on any state, local, or
tribal governments or the private sector.
X. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory
Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review
This action is exempt from review by
the Office of Management and Budget
because it responds to the CAA
requirement to promulgate air quality
designations after promulgation of a
new or revised NAAQS.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing
Regulations and Controlling Regulatory
Costs
This action is not an Executive Order
13771 regulatory action because air
quality designations after promulgating
a new revised NAAQS are exempt under
Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an
information collection burden under the
PRA. This action fulfills the nondiscretionary duty for the EPA to
promulgate air quality designations after
promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS and does not contain any
information collection activities.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism
implications. It will not have substantial
direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. The division of
responsibility between the federal
government and the states for purposes
of implementing the NAAQS is
established under the CAA.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation
and Coordination With Indian Tribal
Government
This action does not have tribal
implications, as specified in Executive
Order 13175. This action concerns the
designation of certain areas in the U.S.
for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. The CAA
provides for states, territories, and
eligible tribes to develop plans to
regulate emissions of air pollutants
within their areas, as necessary, based
on the designations. The Tribal
Authority Rule (TAR) provides tribes
the opportunity to apply for eligibility
to develop and implement CAA
programs, such as programs to attain
and maintain the SO2 NAAQS, but it
leaves to the discretion of the tribe the
decision of whether to apply to develop
these programs and which programs, or
appropriate elements of a program, the
tribe will seek to adopt. This rule does
not have a substantial direct effect on
one or more Indian tribes. It would not
create any additional requirements
beyond those of the SO2 NAAQS. This
rule establishes the designations for
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
certain areas of the country for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS, but no areas of Indian
country are being designated as
nonattainment by this action.
Furthermore, this rule does not affect
the relationship or distribution of power
and responsibilities between the federal
government and Indian tribes. The CAA
and the TAR establish the relationship
of the federal government and tribes in
developing plans to attain the NAAQS,
and this rule does nothing to modify
that relationship. Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply.
Although Executive Order 13175 does
not apply to this rule, after the EPA
promulgated the 2010 primary SO2
NAAQS, the EPA communicated with
tribal leaders and environmental staff
regarding the designations process. In
2011, the EPA also sent individualized
letters to all federally recognized tribes
to explain the designation process for
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, to provide the
EPA designations guidance, and to offer
consultation with the EPA. The EPA
provided further information to tribes
through presentations at the National
Tribal Forum and through participation
in National Tribal Air Association
conference calls. The EPA also sent
individualized letters to all federally
recognized tribes that submitted
recommendations to the EPA about the
EPA’s intended Round 1 designations
for the SO2 standard and offered tribal
leaders the opportunity for
consultation.15 These communications
provided opportunities for tribes to
voice concerns to the EPA about the
general designations process for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS, as well as concerns
specific to a tribe, and informed the EPA
about key tribal concerns regarding
designations as the designations process
was under development and through its
implementation up to that point. For the
second, third, and fourth rounds of SO2
designations, the EPA sent additional
letters to tribes that could potentially be
affected and offered additional
opportunities for participation in the
designations process.
H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of
Children From Environmental Health
and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order
13045 as applying to those regulatory
actions that concern environmental
health or safety risks that the EPA has
reason to believe may
disproportionately affect children, per
the definition of ‘‘covered regulatory

because it does not establish an
environmental standard intended to
mitigate health or safety risks.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply,
Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive
Order 13211 because it is not a

Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations
This action does not have
disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects
on minority populations, low-income
populations and/or indigenous peoples,
as specified in Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The
documentation for this determination is
contained in Section IX of this action,
‘‘Environmental Justice Concerns.’’
L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and
the EPA will submit a rule report to
each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the U.S. This
action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined
by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
M. Judicial Review
Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates
which Federal Courts of Appeal have
venue for petitions of review of final
actions by the EPA. This section
provides, in part, that petitions for
review must be filed in the Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit: (i) When the agency action
consists of ‘‘nationally applicable
regulations promulgated, or final actions
taken, by the Administrator,’’ or (ii)
when such action is locally or regionally
applicable, if ‘‘such action is based on
a determination of nationwide scope or
effect and if in taking such action the
Administrator finds and publishes that
such action is based on such a
determination.’’
This final action is nationally
applicable. To the extent a court finds
this final action to be locally or
regionally applicable, the EPA finds that
this action is based on a determination
of ‘‘nationwide scope or effect’’ within
the meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1).
This final action establishes
designations for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
for certain areas across the U.S., located
in 21 states, nine EPA Regions, and 10
federal judicial circuits. This final
action is also based on a common core
of determinations applied to areas
across the country, including the EPA’s
nationwide analytical approach to and
technical analysis of evaluating
monitoring data and air quality
modeling within the EPA’s
interpretation of statutory terms in the
CAA such as the definitions of
nonattainment, attainment, and
unclassifiable under section 107(d)(1) of
the CAA. For these reasons, this final
action is nationally applicable or,
alternatively, to the extent a court finds
this action to be locally or regionally
applicable, the Administrator has
determined that this final action is
based on a determination of nationwide
scope or effect for purposes of CAA
section 307(b)(1) and is hereby
publishing that finding in the Federal
Register.
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 District of
Columbia Circuit within 60 days from
the date this final action is published in
the Federal Register. Filing a petition
for reconsideration by the Administrator
of this final action does not affect the
finality of the action for the purposes of
judicial review, nor does it extend the
time within which a petition for judicial
review must be filed, and shall not
postpone the effectiveness of such rule
or action.

Hazardous Waste; Final Rule
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The EPA is removing an
exclusion granting Watervliet Arsenal to
delist the electroplating wastewater
treatment sludges (EPA Hazardous
Waste No. F006) generated by the
Watervliet, New York facility from the
lists of hazardous wastes. This action
revises the final rule published on
January 10, 1986. The EPA has received
information from the facility indicating
the present treatment process at the
facility and waste currently generated at
the facility differ from those for which
the Arsenal’s original petition was
submitted. In light of this, the Arsenal
has requested that EPA withdraw the
prior delisting rule. Based on its
understanding of the changes at the
facility, EPA is granting that request and
removing the previously published
delisting. Removal of the prior delisting
rule does not preclude Watervliet
Arsenal from submitting a new delisting
petition.
DATES: This rule is effective on March
26, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
January 10, 1986, at 57 FR 1253, the
EPA finalized an exclusion from the list
of hazardous wastes for Watervliet
Arsenal in Watervliet, New York. EPA
has received information from the
facility indicating a change to its
wastewater treatment process. The
sulfur dioxide (SO2) treatment process is
being discontinued and converted to a
sodium bisulfite treatment process as
the primary industrial wastewater
treatment plant (IWTP) system. The
process and nature of sludge generated
from the converted IWTP differs from

No. F006). Watervliet Arsenal has
submitted a request to EPA on July 29,
2020 to formally withdraw the existing
1986 wastewater treatment sludge RCRA
delisting rule previously issued for its
facility. EPA acknowledges receipt of
the information about these changes at
the facility and the Arsenal’s request.
The Watervliet Arsenal, Watervliet, New
York exclusion found in 40 CFR part
261, appendix IX, Table 1 will be
removed from the Code of Federal
Regulations. The text being removed
currently reads: ‘‘Wastewater treatment

Management Plan (FMP), its
amendments, and implementing
regulations (50 CFR part 635) issued
under authority of the MagnusonStevens Fishery Conservation and
Management Act (16 U.S.C. 1801 et

The Atlantic shark fishery has
separate regional (Gulf of Mexico and
Atlantic) quotas for all management
groups except those for blue shark,
porbeagle shark, pelagic sharks (other
than porbeagle or blue sharks), and the
shark research fishery. The boundary
between the Gulf of Mexico region and
the Atlantic region is defined at
§ 635.27(b)(1) as a line beginning on the
East Coast of Florida at the mainland at
25°20.4′ N lat., proceeding due east.
Any water and land to the north and
east of that boundary is considered, for
the purposes of setting and monitoring
quotas, to be within the Atlantic region.
This inseason action only affects the
aggregated LCS and hammerhead shark
management groups in the Atlantic
region.

Air Quality Designations for the 2010 Primary Sulfur Dioxide
(SO2) National Ambient Air Quality Standard--Round 4
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule establishes the initial air quality
designations for certain areas in the United States (U.S.) for the 2010
primary sulfur dioxide (SO2) National Ambient Air Quality
Standard (NAAQS). The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is
designating the areas as either nonattainment, attainment/
unclassifiable, or unclassifiable. The designations are based on
application of the EPA's nationwide analytical approach and technical
analysis, including evaluation of monitoring data and air quality
modeling, to determine the appropriate designation and area boundary
based on the weight of evidence for each area. The Clean Air Act (CAA
or Act) directs areas designated as nonattainment to undertake certain
planning and pollution control activities to attain the SO2
NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable. This is the fourth and final set
of actions to designate areas of the U.S. for the 2010 SO2
NAAQS; there are no remaining undesignated areas in the U.S. for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS.
DATES: The final rule is effective on April 30, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a public docket for these
SO2 designations at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0037.\1\ Although listed in the docket index,
some information is not publicly available, e.g., Confidential Business

II. What is the purpose of this action?
The purpose of this final action is to announce and promulgate
initial air quality designations for certain areas in the U.S. for the
2010 SO2 NAAQS, in accordance with the requirements of the
CAA. The EPA is designating areas as either nonattainment, attainment/
[[Page 16057]]
unclassifiable, or unclassifiable, as defined in Section IV of this
action, and based on evaluating any available information that was
timely received, including (but not limited to) appropriate monitoring
data and modeling analyses.
On June 2, 2010, the EPA Administrator signed a final rule that
revised the primary SO2 NAAQS (75 FR 35520; June 22, 2010)
after review of the existing primary SO2 standards
promulgated on April 30, 1971 (36 FR 8187). The EPA established the
revised primary SO2 NAAQS at 75 parts per billion (ppb)
which is attained when the 3-year average of the annual 99th percentile
of daily maximum 1-hour average concentrations of SO2 does
not exceed 75 ppb.
The process for designating areas following promulgation of a new
or revised NAAQS is contained in the CAA section 107(d) (42 U.S.C.
7407(d)). After promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, each governor
shall recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate
boundaries for nonattainment areas, to the EPA.\2\ The EPA considers
these recommendations as part of its duty to promulgate the formal area
designations and boundaries for the new or revised NAAQS. By no later
than 120 days prior to promulgating designations, the EPA is required
to notify states, territories, and tribes, as appropriate, of any
intended modifications to an area designation or boundary
recommendation that the EPA deems necessary.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Tribes are invited to submit recommendations following
promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS but are not required to do
so.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After invoking a 1-year extension of the deadlines to designate
areas, as provided for in section 107 of the Act, the EPA completed an
initial round of SO2 designations for certain areas of the
country on July 25, 2013 (referred to as ``Round 1'').\3\ Following the
initial designations, three lawsuits were filed against the EPA in
different U.S. District Courts, alleging the agency had failed to
perform a nondiscretionary duty under the CAA by not designating all
portions of the country by the June 2, 2013, deadline. In one of those
cases, on March 2, 2015, the U.S. District Court for the Northern
District of California entered an enforceable order for the EPA to
complete the area designations by three specific deadlines according to
the court-ordered schedule.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ A total of 29 areas throughout the U.S. were designated in
this action published on August 5, 2013 (78 FR 47191). The EPA
designated all 29 areas nonattainment based on violating monitored
SO2 concentrations from Federal Reference Method and
Federal Equivalent Method monitors that are sited and operated in
accordance with 40 CFR parts 50 and 58 and did not at that time
designate any other areas.
\4\ Sierra Club v. McCarthy, No. 3-13-cv-3953 (SI) (N.D. Cal.
March 2, 2015).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To meet the first court-ordered deadline, the Administrator signed
final actions on June 30, 2016, and November 29, 2016, (collectively
referred to as ``Round 2'') designating additional areas.\5\ To meet
the second deadline of the court-ordered schedule, the Administrator
signed final actions on December 21, 2017, and March 28, 2018,
(collectively referred to as ``Round 3'') designating most of the
remaining areas of the country.\6\ Finally, the EPA is under a December
31, 2020, court-ordered deadline, the final of the three deadlines
established by the court, to designate all remaining undesignated areas
(collectively referred to as ``Round 4'' or the ``final round''). These
remaining undesignated areas are: (1) Those areas which, under the
court order, did not meet the criteria that required designation in
Round 2 and also were not required to be designated in Round 3 due to
installation and operation of a new SO2 monitoring network
by January 2017 in the area meeting EPA's specifications referenced in
EPA's SO2 Data Requirements Rule (DRR); \7\ and (2) those
areas which EPA has not otherwise previously designated for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS. With the completion of Round 4, there are no
remaining undesignated areas for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ A total of 65 areas throughout the U.S. were designated in
these actions published on July 12, 2016 (81 FR 45039), and December
13, 2016 (81 FR 89870). Of these 65 areas, seven were designated
nonattainment.
\6\ Most remaining areas of the U.S. were designated in actions
published on January 9, 2018 (83 FR 1098) and April 5, 2018 (83 FR
14597). Of these areas, six were designated nonattainment.
\7\ See 80 FR 51052 (August 21, 2015), codified at 40 CFR part
51, subpart BB.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On or about August 13, 2020, consistent with section
107(d)(1)(b)(ii) of the CAA, the EPA notified affected states of its
intended designation of certain specific areas as either nonattainment,
attainment/unclassifiable, or unclassifiable for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS. These states then had the opportunity to
demonstrate why they believed an intended modification of their
original (or updated) recommendations by the EPA may be inappropriate.
Although not required under the CAA, the EPA also chose to provide an
opportunity for members of the public to comment on the EPA's August
2020 intended designations, as the EPA had done for the first, second,
and third rounds of SO2 designations. The EPA published a
notice of availability and public comment period for the Round 4
intended designations on August 21, 2020 (85 FR 51694), and the public
comment period closed on September 21, 2020.
The final Round 4 2010 SO2 NAAQS designations and the
boundaries of each area appear in the tables for each state within the
regulatory text at the end of this document. State recommendations,
EPA's August 2020 designation notification letters, and the subsequent
state and public comments, are available in the public docket for these
SO2 designations at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket
ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0037. As described in Section VI of this action,
the EPA may consider early certified 2018-2020 monitoring data that may
be submitted to the appropriate EPA Regional office by February 15,
2021.
For the areas being designated nonattainment, the CAA directs
states to develop and submit State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to the
EPA within 18 months of the effective date of this final rule, that
meet the requirements of sections 172(c) and 191-192 of the CAA and
provide for attainment of the NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable,
but not later than 5 years from the effective date of final
designation.
III. What is the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and what are the health concerns that
it addresses?
The EPA revised the primary SO2 NAAQS in a final rule
published in the Federal Register on June 22, 2010 (75 FR 35520), which
became effective on August 23, 2010.\8\ Based on review of the air
quality criteria for oxides of sulfur and the primary NAAQS for oxides
of sulfur as measured by SO2, the EPA revised the primary
SO2 NAAQS to provide requisite protection of public health
with an adequate margin of safety. Specifically, the EPA established a
new 1-hour SO2 standard at a level of 75 ppb, which is met
at an ambient air quality monitoring site when the 3-year average of
the annual 99th percentile of daily maximum 1-hour average
concentrations is less than or equal to 75 ppb, as determined in
accordance with Appendix T of 40 CFR part 50, 40 CFR 50.17(a) and (b).
The EPA also established provisions to revoke both the existing 24-hour
and annual primary
[[Page 16058]]
SO2 standards, subject to certain conditions, 40 CFR
50.4(e).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Based on the EPA's review of the air quality criteria
addressing human health effects and the primary NAAQS for
SO2, the agency took final action to retain the current
standard without revision in a final action published in the Federal
Register on March 18, 2019 (52 FR 9866).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Current scientific evidence links short-term exposures to
SO2, ranging from 5 minutes to 24 hours, with an array of
adverse respiratory effects including bronchoconstriction and increased
asthma symptoms. These effects are particularly important for
asthmatics at elevated ventilation rates (e.g., while exercising or
playing). Studies also show a connection between short-term exposure
and increased visits to emergency departments and hospital admissions
for respiratory illnesses, particularly in at-risk populations
including children, the elderly and asthmatics.
IV. What are the CAA requirements for air quality designations and what
action has the EPA taken to meet these requirements?
After the EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA is
required to designate all areas of the country as either nonattainment,
attainment, or unclassifiable, for that NAAQS pursuant to section
107(d)(1)-(2) of the CAA. As part of these Round 4 designations, the
EPA is implementing its interpretation of statutory terms under CAA
section 107(d) nationwide and is basing these designations on the EPA's
nationwide analytical approach and technical analysis, including
evaluation of monitoring data and air quality modeling, applied to the
available evidence that was timely received for each area.
Regarding statutory definitions and the EPA's interpretations of
such, section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA defines a nonattainment area
as an area that does not meet the NAAQS or that contributes to a nearby
area that does not meet the NAAQS. An attainment area is defined by the
CAA as any area that meets the NAAQS and does not contribute to a
nearby area that does not meet the NAAQS. Unclassifiable areas are
defined by the CAA as those that cannot be classified on the basis of
available information as meeting or not meeting the 2010 SO2
NAAQS.
For the purpose of this action for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS,
the EPA has interpreted and applied the statutory definitions as
follows. The EPA defines a nonattainment area as an area that, based on
available information including (but not limited to) monitoring data
and/or appropriate modeling analyses, EPA has determined either: (1)
Does not meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, or (2) contributes to
ambient air quality in a nearby area that does not meet the 2010
SO2 NAAQS.
In this action, an attainment/unclassifiable area is defined by the
EPA as an area that, based on available information including (but not
limited to) appropriate monitoring data and/or appropriate modeling
analyses, EPA has determined meets the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and
does not likely contribute to ambient air quality in a nearby area that
does not meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
In this action, an unclassifiable area is defined by the EPA as an
area for which the available information does not allow the EPA to
determine whether the area meets the definition of a nonattainment area
or the definition of an attainment/unclassifiable area.
This nationwide analytical approach also includes but is not
limited to: (1) EPA's interpretations of other terms in the context of
Round 4 of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS; (2) the appropriate basis for
characterizing the air quality of an area; (3) the five-factor analysis
(described in Section V of this action) to determine the boundaries for
each air quality area under the NAAQS; and (4) the methodology for
appropriately characterizing SO2 air quality through
monitoring or modeling.
The EPA notes that CAA section 107(d) provides the agency with
discretion to determine how best to interpret the terms in the
definition of a nonattainment area (e.g., ``contributes to'' and
``nearby'') for a new or revised NAAQS, given considerations such as
the nature of a specific pollutant, the types of sources that may
contribute to violations, the form of the standards for the pollutant,
and other relevant information. In particular, the EPA's position is
that the statute does not require the agency to establish bright line
tests or thresholds for what constitutes ``contribution'' or ``nearby''
for purposes of designations.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ This view was confirmed in Catawba County v. EPA, 571 F.3d
20 (D.C. Cir. 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Similarly, the EPA's position is that the statute permits the EPA
to evaluate the appropriate application of the term ``area'' to include
geographic areas based upon full or partial county boundaries, as may
be appropriate for a particular NAAQS. For example, CAA section
107(d)(1)(B)(ii) explicitly provides that the EPA can make
modifications to designation recommendations for an area ``or portions
thereof,'' and under CAA section 107(d)(1)(B)(iv) a designation remains
in effect for an area ``or portion thereof'' until the EPA redesignates
it.
By no later than 1 year after the promulgation of a new or revised
NAAQS, CAA section 107(d)(1)(A) provides that each state governor shall
recommend air quality designations, including the appropriate
boundaries for areas, to the EPA. The EPA reviews those recommendations
and is authorized to make any modifications the Administrator deems
necessary. The statute does not define the term ``necessary,'' but the
EPA interprets this to authorize the Administrator to modify
designations that did not meet the statutory requirements or were
otherwise inconsistent with the facts or analysis deemed appropriate by
the Administrator. If the EPA is considering modifications to a
recommendation, we are required by CAA section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii) to
notify the state of any such intended modifications not less than 120
days prior to our promulgation of the final designation. These
notifications are commonly known as the ``120-day letters.'' During
this period, if the state or territory does not agree with the EPA's
proposed modification, it has an opportunity to respond to the EPA and
to demonstrate why it believes the modification proposed by the EPA is
inappropriate. If a state or territory fails to provide any
recommendation for an area, in whole or in part, the EPA still must
promulgate a designation that the Administrator deems appropriate,
pursuant to CAA section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii). While CAA section 107(d)
specifically addresses the designations process between the EPA and
states and territories, the EPA intends to follow the same process to
the extent practicable for tribes that submitted designation
recommendations.
V. What guidance did the EPA issue and how did the EPA apply the
statutory requirements to determine area designations and boundaries?
In the notice of proposed rulemaking for the revised SO2
NAAQS (74 FR 64810; December 8, 2009), the EPA issued proposed guidance
on our approach to implementing the standard, including our approach to
initial area designations. The EPA solicited comment on that guidance
and, in the notice of final rulemaking (75 FR 35520; June 22, 2010),
provided further guidance concerning implementation of the standard and
how to identify nonattainment areas and boundaries for the
SO2 NAAQS. Subsequently, on March 24, 2011, the EPA provided
additional designations guidance to assist states with making their
recommendations for area designations and boundaries.\10\ The EPA also
issued
[[Page 16059]]
two additional designations guidance documents on March 20, 2015, and
July 22, 2016, specific to Round 2 and Round 3 processes and schedules,
respectively.\11\

An updated designations guidance document was issued by the EPA on
September 5, 2019, to better reflect the Round 4 2010 SO2
NAAQS designations process and to supplement, where necessary, prior
designations guidance documents.\12\ This memorandum identifies factors
that the EPA intended to evaluate in determining whether areas are in
violation of the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. The document also contains
the factors that the EPA intended to evaluate in determining the
boundaries for all remaining undesignated areas in the country. These
factors include: (1) Air quality characterization via ambient
monitoring and/or dispersion modeling results; (2) emissions-related
data; (3) meteorology; (4) geography and topography; and (5)
jurisdictional boundaries.\13\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
VI. What air quality information has the EPA used for these
designations?
These designations are based on the EPA's application of the
nationwide analytical approach to, and technical assessment of, the
weight of evidence for each area, including but not limited to
available air quality monitoring data and related air quality modeling
results. With respect to air quality monitoring data, the EPA has
considered data from at least the most recent three full calendar
years, i.e., 2017-2019. The 1-hour primary SO2 standard is
violated at an ambient air quality monitoring site when the 3-year
average of the annual 99th percentile of the daily maximum 1-hour
average concentrations of SO2 exceeds 75 ppb, as determined
in accordance with Appendix T of 40 CFR part 50.
In the EPA's September 2019 memorandum, we noted that Round 4 area
designations are based primarily on ambient monitoring data, including
data from existing and new EPA-approved monitors that have collected
data at least from January 2017 forward, pursuant to the DRR. In
addition, the EPA may evaluate related air dispersion modeling
submitted by state air agencies for two specific circumstances. First,
states may submit air dispersion modeling of actual or allowable
emissions to support the geographic extent of a nonattainment boundary.
Second, states may submit air dispersion modeling of allowable
emissions to demonstrate that new permanent and federally-enforceable
SO2 emissions limits that subject sources are meeting
provide for attainment of the NAAQS and represent a more accurate
characterization of current air quality at the time of designation than
does monitoring data reflecting past air quality that does not account
for compliance with new limits and associated enforceable emissions
reductions.
The deadline for Round 4 designations and the practical
difficulties of obtaining complete, quality-assured, certified
SO2 monitoring data for the entirety of calendar year 2020
in December 2020, make the EPA's use of final 2020 monitoring data for
this action generally impracticable. Under normal circumstances, under
the applicable regulations, the deadline for states to certify
monitoring data for calendar year 2020 is May 1, 2021. However, because
these designations are being promulgated at the end of calendar year
2020, and because states can make complete, quality-assured, certified
2020 data available for some areas quickly in 2021, to address the
impracticability problem, the EPA is providing a process by which
state-certified 2020 monitoring data that become available early in
2021 could be used in the Round 4 designations process.
Provided that this document is published in the Federal Register no
later than March 31, 2021, the final Round 4 SO2
designations announced in this action will be effective on April 30,
2021. If any state submits complete, quality-assured, certified 2020
data (i.e., monitoring data from EPA's Air Quality System) to the
appropriate EPA Regional office by February 15, 2021, supporting a
change of the designation status for any Round 4 area within that
state, and the EPA agrees that a change of designation status is
appropriate, we will withdraw the designation announced in this action
for such area and issue another designation that reflects the inclusion
and analysis of such information. Any designation modification will
occur in a separate Federal Register action prior to the April 30,
2021, effective date. We emphasize that EPA will conduct this process
only for those states that submit the necessary information by the
deadline of February 15, 2021, and in those instances where we can
complete our analysis of the information and effect the change of
designation status before the original effective date established by
this final action.
VII. How do the Round 4 designations affect areas of Indian country?
There are no violating monitors for areas of Indian country, so no
areas of Indian country are being designated as nonattainment or
unclassifiable in Round 4. Any other parts of Indian country being
designated as attainment/unclassifiable are being designated along with
the surrounding state area.
VIII. Where can I find information forming the basis for this rule and
exchanges between the EPA, states, and tribes related to this rule?
Information and data providing the basis for this action are
provided in a final designations technical support document (TSD) \14\
included in the docket. The final designations TSD, intended
designations TSD, modeling files, technical assistance documents,
applicable EPA memoranda, public comments, and copies of correspondence
regarding this process between the EPA and the states, territories,
tribes, and other parties, are available for review at the public
docket for these SO2 designations at https://www.regulations.gov under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2020-0037.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ The single final TSD for this action consists of a few
sections with information that applies to all affected areas or to
certain groups of areas with some common features, and many sections
that are specific to individual state areas. For convenience, the
term ``TSD'' is also used generically to refer to these state-
specific sections. For informational purposes, these individual
state-specific sections/TSDs are available for separate downloading
from the indicated EPA website.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA has also established a website for the initial
SO2 designations
[[Page 16060]]
rulemakings at: https://www.epa.gov/sulfur-dioxide-designations. The
website includes the EPA's final SO2 designations, as well
as state recommendation letters, the EPA's 120-day intended
designations notification letters, technical support documents,
responses to comments, and other related technical information. Air
dispersion modeling input and output files are too large to post in the
docket or on the website and must be requested from the EPA Docket
Office or the Regional office contacts listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this action.
IX. Environmental Justice Concerns
When the EPA establishes a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires
the EPA to designate all areas of the U.S. as either nonattainment,
attainment, or unclassifiable. This action addresses designation
determinations for certain areas for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
Area designations address environmental justice concerns by ensuring
that the public is properly informed about the air quality in an area.
In locations where air quality does not meet the NAAQS, the CAA
requires relevant state authorities to initiate appropriate air quality
management actions to ensure that all those residing, working,
attending school, or otherwise present in those areas are protected,
regardless of minority and economic status.
X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review
This action is exempt from review by the Office of Management and
Budget because it responds to the CAA requirement to promulgate air
quality designations after promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS.
B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs
This action is not an Executive Order 13771 regulatory action
because air quality designations after promulgating a new revised NAAQS
are exempt under Executive Order 12866.
C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA. This action fulfills the non-discretionary duty for the EPA to
promulgate air quality designations after promulgation of a new or
revised NAAQS and does not contain any information collection
activities.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)
This designation action under CAA section 107(d) is not subject to
the RFA. The RFA applies only to rules subject to notice-and-comment
rulemaking requirements under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA),
5 U.S.C. 553, or any other statute. Section 107(d)(2)(B) of the CAA
explicitly provides that designations are exempt from the notice-and-
comment provisions of the APA. In addition, designations under CAA
section 107(d) are not among the list of actions that are subject to
the notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements of CAA section 307(d).
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538 and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state,
local, or tribal governments or the private sector.
F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government. The
division of responsibility between the federal government and the
states for purposes of implementing the NAAQS is established under the
CAA.
G. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Government
This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175. This action concerns the designation of certain
areas in the U.S. for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. The CAA provides
for states, territories, and eligible tribes to develop plans to
regulate emissions of air pollutants within their areas, as necessary,
based on the designations. The Tribal Authority Rule (TAR) provides
tribes the opportunity to apply for eligibility to develop and
implement CAA programs, such as programs to attain and maintain the
SO2 NAAQS, but it leaves to the discretion of the tribe the
decision of whether to apply to develop these programs and which
programs, or appropriate elements of a program, the tribe will seek to
adopt. This rule does not have a substantial direct effect on one or
more Indian tribes. It would not create any additional requirements
beyond those of the SO2 NAAQS. This rule establishes the
designations for certain areas of the country for the 2010
SO2 NAAQS, but no areas of Indian country are being
designated as nonattainment by this action. Furthermore, this rule does
not affect the relationship or distribution of power and
responsibilities between the federal government and Indian tribes. The
CAA and the TAR establish the relationship of the federal government
and tribes in developing plans to attain the NAAQS, and this rule does
nothing to modify that relationship. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does
not apply.
Although Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule, after
the EPA promulgated the 2010 primary SO2 NAAQS, the EPA
communicated with tribal leaders and environmental staff regarding the
designations process. In 2011, the EPA also sent individualized letters
to all federally recognized tribes to explain the designation process
for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, to provide the EPA designations
guidance, and to offer consultation with the EPA. The EPA provided
further information to tribes through presentations at the National
Tribal Forum and through participation in National Tribal Air
Association conference calls. The EPA also sent individualized letters
to all federally recognized tribes that submitted recommendations to
the EPA about the EPA's intended Round 1 designations for the
SO2 standard and offered tribal leaders the opportunity for
consultation.\15\ These communications provided opportunities for
tribes to voice concerns to the EPA about the general designations
process for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, as well as concerns specific
to a tribe, and informed the EPA about key tribal concerns regarding
designations as the designations process was under development and
through its implementation up to that point. For the second, third, and
fourth rounds of SO2 designations, the EPA sent additional
letters to tribes that could potentially be affected and offered
additional opportunities for participation in the designations process.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ These communication letters to the tribes are provided in
the dockets for Round 1 (Docket ID NO. EPA-HQ-OAR-2012-0233), Round
2 (Docket ID NO. EPA-HQ-OAR-2014-0464), and Round 3 (Docket ID NO.
EPA-HQ-OAR-2017-0003).

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health and Safety Risks
The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect

[[Page 16061]]
action'' in section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not
subject to Executive Order 13045 because it does not establish an
environmental standard intended to mitigate health or safety risks.
I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.
K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
This action does not have disproportionately high and adverse human
health or environmental effects on minority populations, low-income
populations and/or indigenous peoples, as specified in Executive Order
12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). The documentation for this
determination is contained in Section IX of this action,
``Environmental Justice Concerns.''
L. Congressional Review Act (CRA)
This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the U.S. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
M. Judicial Review
Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA indicates which Federal Courts of
Appeal have venue for petitions of review of final actions by the EPA.
This section provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed
in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: (i) When
the agency action consists of ``nationally applicable regulations
promulgated, or final actions taken, by the Administrator,'' or (ii)
when such action is locally or regionally applicable, if ``such action
is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in
taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such
action is based on such a determination.''
This final action is nationally applicable. To the extent a court
finds this final action to be locally or regionally applicable, the EPA
finds that this action is based on a determination of ``nationwide
scope or effect'' within the meaning of CAA section 307(b)(1). This
final action establishes designations for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS
for certain areas across the U.S., located in 21 states, nine EPA
Regions, and 10 federal judicial circuits. This final action is also
based on a common core of determinations applied to areas across the
country, including the EPA's nationwide analytical approach to and
technical analysis of evaluating monitoring data and air quality
modeling within the EPA's interpretation of statutory terms in the CAA
such as the definitions of nonattainment, attainment, and
unclassifiable under section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. For these reasons,
this final action is nationally applicable or, alternatively, to the
extent a court finds this action to be locally or regionally
applicable, the Administrator has determined that this final action is
based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect for purposes of
CAA section 307(b)(1) and is hereby publishing that finding in the
Federal Register.
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 District of Columbia Circuit within 60 days from the date this
final action is published in the Federal Register. Filing a petition
for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final action does not
affect the finality of the action for the purposes of judicial review,
nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review
must be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action.
