III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is proposing to
include in a final EPA rule regulatory
text that includes incorporation by
reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is
proposing to incorporate by reference
the California air district rules described
in Table 1 of this preamble. The EPA
has made, and will continue to make,
these materials available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region IX Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
IV. 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, the EPA’s role is to
approve state choices, provided that
they meet the criteria of the Clean Air
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:35 Apr 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
Act. Accordingly, this proposed action
merely proposes to approve state law as
meeting federal requirements and does
not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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 the EPA with the
discretionary authority to address
disproportionate human health or
environmental effects with practical,
appropriate, 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 the 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).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
A. State Implementation Plan
Each state has a State Implementation
Plan (SIP) containing the control
measures and strategies used to attain
and maintain the national ambient air
quality standards (NAAQS) established
by the EPA for the criteria pollutants
(carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen
dioxide, ozone, particulate matter,
sulfur dioxide). The SIP must meet the
requirements of CAA section 110 and
revisions to the SIP must be submitted
to and approved by the EPA.
The SIP is extensive, containing such
elements as air pollution control
regulations, emission inventories,
attainment demonstrations, and
enforcement mechanisms. The SIP is a
living compilation of these elements
and is revised and updated by the State
over time—to keep pace with Federal
requirements and to address changing
air quality issues in the State. The
Oregon SIP is codified in the Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR
part 52, subpart MM. Oregon routinely
revises the SIP and submits the changes
to the EPA for approval.
jbell on DSKJLSW7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
II. Evaluation of Submission
On January 29, 2021, the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality
submitted a SIP revision to the EPA for
approval. The revision, State effective
January 21, 2021, updates the adoption
by reference of Federal requirements
used throughout the Oregon air quality
rules. Oregon’s air quality rules are
codified in Divisions 200 through 268 of
Chapter 340 of the Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR).
Specifically, Oregon revised OAR
340–200–0035 and OAR 340–244–0030
to state that all references to the CFR are
updated from July 1, 2018 to July 1,
2020. We propose to approve the
submitted change to OAR 340–200–
0035 because it serves to bring the
Oregon SIP up-to-date and is consistent
with CAA section 110 requirements. For
the same reasons, we propose to
approve the change to OAR 340–244–
0030, except that, consistent with our
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:35 Apr 02, 2021
Jkt 253001
prior action on October 27, 2015, we
propose to approve it only to the extent
needed to implement the requirements
for gasoline dispensing facilities in
Division 244 that are approved into the
SIP for the purposes of regulating VOC
emissions (80 FR 65655). Similarly, we
propose to clarify our approval of
Division 244 into the Oregon SIP,
codified at 40 CFR 52.1970(c), by
revising footnote 3 in Table 2 to read,
‘‘The EPA approves Division 244 only to
the extent needed to implement the
requirements for gasoline dispensing
facilities that are approved into the SIP
for the purpose of regulating VOC
emissions.’’ This language is consistent
with our October 27, 2015 action (80 FR
65655).
III. Proposed Action
The EPA is proposing to approve, and
incorporate by reference, revisions to
the Oregon SIP submitted on January 29,
2021. Upon final approval, the Oregon
SIP will include the following
regulations, State effective January 21,
2021:
• OAR 340–200–0035, Reference
Materials; and
• OAR 340–244–0030, General
Provisions for Stationary Sources:
Definitions, only to the extent needed to
implement the requirements for gasoline
dispensing facilities in Division 244 that
are approved into the SIP for the
purposes of regulating VOC emissions.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is
proposing to include in a final rule,
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference the provisions
described in Section III of this
document. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 10 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the
EPA’s role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed
action merely approves State law as
meeting Federal requirements and does
PO 00000

not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by State law. For
that reason, this proposed action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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 the requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA; and
• Does not provide the 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, this proposed action does
not apply on any Indian reservation
land or in any other area in Oregon
where the 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).

I. Background
A. State Implementation Plan
Each state has a State Implementation Plan (SIP) containing the
control measures and strategies used to attain and maintain the
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) established by the EPA
for the criteria pollutants (carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide,
ozone, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide). The SIP must meet the
requirements of CAA section 110 and revisions to the SIP must be
submitted to and approved by the EPA.
The SIP is extensive, containing such elements as air pollution
control regulations, emission inventories, attainment demonstrations,
and enforcement mechanisms. The SIP is a living compilation of these
elements and is revised and updated by the State over time--to keep
pace with Federal requirements and to address changing air quality
issues in the State. The Oregon SIP is codified in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR part 52, subpart MM. Oregon routinely
revises the SIP and submits the changes to the EPA for approval.
II. Evaluation of Submission
On January 29, 2021, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality
submitted a SIP revision to the EPA for approval. The revision, State
effective January 21, 2021, updates the adoption by reference of
Federal requirements used throughout the Oregon air quality rules.
Oregon's air quality rules are codified in Divisions 200 through 268 of
Chapter 340 of the Oregon Administrative Rules (OAR).
Specifically, Oregon revised OAR 340-200-0035 and OAR 340-244-0030
to state that all references to the CFR are updated from July 1, 2018
to July 1, 2020. We propose to approve the submitted change to OAR 340-
200-0035 because it serves to bring the Oregon SIP up-to-date and is
consistent with CAA section 110 requirements. For the same reasons, we
propose to approve the change to OAR 340-244-0030, except that,
consistent with our prior action on October 27, 2015, we propose to
approve it only to the extent needed to implement the requirements for
gasoline dispensing facilities in Division 244 that are approved into
the SIP for the purposes of regulating VOC emissions (80 FR 65655).
Similarly, we propose to clarify our approval of Division 244 into the
Oregon SIP, codified at 40 CFR 52.1970(c), by revising footnote 3 in
Table 2 to read, ``The EPA approves Division 244 only to the extent
needed to implement the requirements for gasoline dispensing facilities
that are approved into the SIP for the purpose of regulating VOC
emissions.'' This language is consistent with our October 27, 2015
action (80 FR 65655).
III. Proposed Action
The EPA is proposing to approve, and incorporate by reference,
revisions to the Oregon SIP submitted on January 29, 2021. Upon final
approval, the Oregon SIP will include the following regulations, State
effective January 21, 2021:
OAR 340-200-0035, Reference Materials; and
OAR 340-244-0030, General Provisions for Stationary
Sources: Definitions, only to the extent needed to implement the
requirements for gasoline dispensing facilities in Division 244 that
are approved into the SIP for the purposes of regulating VOC emissions.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is proposing to include in a final rule,
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the provisions described in Section III of this document. The
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 10
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
proposed 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 proposed action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
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 the requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
Does not provide the 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, this proposed action does not apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area in Oregon where the 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).
