• 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

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

this final rule does not affect the finality
of this action for the purposes of judicial

I. What is the background for this
action?
On June 3, 2022 (87 FR 33699), the
EPA published a Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking that proposed to approve a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of New
York on March 2, 2021, for purposes of
revising Title 6 NYCRR part 235,
‘‘Consumer Products.’’ The SIP revision
applies to a group of household and
commonly used products, referred to as
‘‘consumer products,’’ with the goal of
limiting and reducing Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) emissions statewide.
The EPA’s June 3, 2022, evaluation
recognizes that the SIP revision is
consistent with the Ozone Transport
Commission Model Rule for consumer
products and will help the State attain
the NAAQS by improving air quality
through reduced VOC emissions and
promoting regional consumer product
consistency. The revisions to 6 NYCRR
part 235 are expected to reduce VOC
released to the air by 5.3 tons per day
statewide. Since the use of consumer
products is highest in population
centers, the VOC reductions in the New
York City metro area alone, where the
2008 ozone standard is exceeded, is
expected to be 3.4 tons per day. To
achieve these emission reductions, new
product categories were added with new
VOC limits and existing product
categories were revised to reduce their
VOC limits. In addition, revisions were
made in the definitions section at 6
NYCRR section 235–2.1 to provide
transitional language and to cite which
emission standards apply before or after
the January 1, 2022, compliance date.
The specific details of New York’s SIP
revision submittal and the rationale for
the EPA’s approval action are explained
in the EPA’s proposed rulemaking and
are not restated in this final action. For
this detailed information, the reader is
referred to the EPA’s June 3, 2022,
proposed rulemaking (87 FR 33699).
II. What comments were received in
response to the EPA’s proposed action?
In response to the EPA’s June 3, 2022,
proposed rulemaking on New York’s SIP
revision submittal, the EPA received
one comment during the 30-day public
comment period. After reviewing the
comment, the EPA has determined that
the comment is outside the scope of our
proposed action or fails to identify any
material issue necessitating a response.
The comment does not raise issues
germane to the EPA’s proposed action.
For this reason, the EPA will not
provide a specific response to the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 256001
comment. The specific comment may be
viewed under Docket ID Number EPA–
R02–OAR–2021–0553 on the https://
www.regulations.gov website.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is approving New York’s
revisions to the New York SIP and
amendment to 6 NYCRR part 235,
‘‘Consumer Products’’ with a State
effective date of February 11, 2021.
Specifically, this rulemaking will add
nine new product categories and two
new subcategories with new VOC
emission limits and reduced VOC
emission limits in ten existing product
categories. The revisions will help the
State to comply with federal
requirements pertaining to attainment
and maintenance of the ozone NAAQS.
The attendant revisions to 6 NYCRR
section 200, ‘‘General Provisions,’’
section 200.9, Table 1, ‘‘Referenced
material’’, for 6 NYCRR part 235 has
been addressed under a separate
rulemaking at 87 FR 52337, effective
September 26, 2022.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is
finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the
incorporation by reference of the 6
NYCRR part 235, ‘‘Consumer Products,’’
regulations described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 as
discussed in sections I. and III. of this
preamble. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 2 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by the EPA for inclusion in
the State Implementation Plan, have
been incorporated by reference by the
EPA into that plan, are fully federally
enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of the EPA’s approval,
and will be incorporated by reference in
the next update to the SIP compilation.1
VI. 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

PO 00000
FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
Frm 00030

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);
• 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).
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House
of the Congress and the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action

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 November 15,
2022. Filing a petition for

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

I. What is the background for this action?
On June 3, 2022 (87 FR 33699), the EPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking that proposed to approve a State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of New York on March 2,
2021, for purposes of revising Title 6 NYCRR part 235, ``Consumer
Products.'' The SIP revision applies to a group of household and
commonly used products, referred to as ``consumer products,'' with the
goal of limiting and reducing Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
emissions statewide.
The EPA's June 3, 2022, evaluation recognizes that the SIP revision
is consistent with the Ozone Transport Commission Model Rule for
consumer products and will help the State attain the NAAQS by improving
air quality through reduced VOC emissions and promoting regional
consumer product consistency. The revisions to 6 NYCRR part 235 are
expected to reduce VOC released to the air by 5.3 tons per day
statewide. Since the use of consumer products is highest in population
centers, the VOC reductions in the New York City metro area alone,
where the 2008 ozone standard is exceeded, is expected to be 3.4 tons
per day. To achieve these emission reductions, new product categories
were added with new VOC limits and existing product categories were
revised to reduce their VOC limits. In addition, revisions were made in
the definitions section at 6 NYCRR section 235-2.1 to provide
transitional language and to cite which emission standards apply before
or after the January 1, 2022, compliance date.
The specific details of New York's SIP revision submittal and the
rationale for the EPA's approval action are explained in the EPA's
proposed rulemaking and are not restated in this final action. For this
detailed information, the reader is referred to the EPA's June 3, 2022,
proposed rulemaking (87 FR 33699).
II. What comments were received in response to the EPA's proposed
action?
In response to the EPA's June 3, 2022, proposed rulemaking on New
York's SIP revision submittal, the EPA received one comment during the
30-day public comment period. After reviewing the comment, the EPA has
determined that the comment is outside the scope of our proposed action
or fails to identify any material issue necessitating a response. The
comment does not raise issues germane to the EPA's proposed action. For
this reason, the EPA will not provide a specific response to the
comment. The specific comment may be viewed under Docket ID Number EPA-
R02-OAR-2021-0553 on the https://www.regulations.gov website.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is approving New York's revisions to the New York SIP and
amendment to 6 NYCRR part 235, ``Consumer Products'' with a State
effective date of February 11, 2021. Specifically, this rulemaking will
add nine new product categories and two new subcategories with new VOC
emission limits and reduced VOC emission limits in ten existing product
categories. The revisions will help the State to comply with federal
requirements pertaining to attainment and maintenance of the ozone
NAAQS. The attendant revisions to 6 NYCRR section 200, ``General
Provisions,'' section 200.9, Table 1, ``Referenced material'', for 6
NYCRR part 235 has been addressed under a separate rulemaking at 87 FR
52337, effective September 26, 2022.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that
includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of
1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
6 NYCRR part 235, ``Consumer Products,'' regulations described in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 as discussed in sections I. and III. of
this preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the
EPA Region 2 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA
for inclusion in the State Implementation Plan, have been incorporated
by reference by the EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of the EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

VI. 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:

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

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).
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action
[[Page 56895]]
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 November 15, 2022. 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)).
