I. Proposed Action
On May 12, 2022, the EPA proposed
to approve the following rules listed in
Table 1 into the California SIP and
simultaneously made an interim final
determination that deferred sanctions
triggered by the September 16, 2020
limited disapproval of Rule 20.1.1 2
These rules constitute part of the
District’s current program for
preconstruction review and permitting
of new or modified stationary sources
under its jurisdiction. The rule revisions
that are the subject of this action
represent an update to the District’s
preconstruction review and permitting
program and are intended to satisfy the
requirements under part D of title I of
the Act (‘‘Nonattainment NSR’’ or
‘‘NNSR’’) as well as the general
preconstruction review requirements
under section 110(a)(2)(C) of the Act
(‘‘Minor NSR’’). We are approving these
rules because we determined that they
comply with the relevant CAA
requirements. Our proposed action
contains more information on the rules
and our evaluation.3

IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, 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 rules
described in Section I of this preamble
and set forth below in the amendments
to 40 CFR part 52. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these
documents available through https://
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).
V. 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
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
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:07 Sep 27, 2022
Jkt 256001
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); and
• 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.
The state did not evaluate
environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal. There is no
information in the record inconsistent
with the stated goals of E.O 12898 of
achieving environmental justice for
people of color, low-income
populations, and indigenous peoples.
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).
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. The EPA will
submit a report containing this action
and other required information to the
U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller
General of the United States prior to
publication of the rule in the Federal
Register. A major rule cannot take effect
until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register. This action is not a
‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by November 28,
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).)

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve four permitting rules submitted as a revision to the
San Diego County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD or
``District'') portion of the California State Implementation Plan
(SIP). These revisions concern the District's New Source Review (NSR)
permitting program for new and modified sources of air pollution under
section 110(a)(2)(C) and part D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or
``Act''). This action will update the District's applicable SIP with

action. On May 12, 2022, we made an interim final determination that
deferred the imposition of CAA sanctions associated with our September
16, 2020 limited disapproval action. This final approval stops all
sanction and federal implementation plan clocks started by our
September 16, 2020 limited approval and limited disapproval. This
action also finalizes regulatory text to clarify that San Diego County
is not subject to the Federal Implementation Plan related to protection
of visibility from sources in nonattainment areas.

I. Proposed Action
On May 12, 2022, the EPA proposed to approve the following rules
listed in Table 1 into the California SIP and simultaneously made an
interim final determination that deferred sanctions triggered by the
September 16, 2020 limited disapproval of Rule 20.1.1 2
These rules constitute part of the District's current program for
preconstruction review and permitting of new or modified stationary
sources under its jurisdiction. The rule revisions that are the subject
of this action represent an update to the District's preconstruction
review and permitting program and are intended to satisfy the
requirements under part D of title I of the Act (``Nonattainment NSR''
or ``NNSR'') as well as the general preconstruction review requirements
under section 110(a)(2)(C) of the Act (``Minor NSR''). We are approving
these rules because we determined that they comply with the relevant
CAA requirements. Our proposed action contains more information on the
rules and our evaluation.\3\

The rules listed in Table 2 are being replaced in the SIP by the
submitted set of rules listed in Table 1. Additionally, as described in
our proposal, the EPA's final approval of Rule 20.1 addresses our
September 16, 2020 limited disapproval.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, no comments were submitted on our proposal.
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted on our proposal. Therefore, as
authorized in sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA is
approving the submitted rules. This action incorporates the
[[Page 58731]]
submitted rules in the California SIP and replaces the previously
submitted rules listed in Table 2. This approval stops all sanction and
federal implementation plan clocks started by our September 16, 2020
limited approval and limited disapproval.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, 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 rules
described in Section I of this preamble and set forth below in the
amendments to 40 CFR part 52. The EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these documents available through https://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).
V. 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 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); and
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.
The state did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal. There is no information in the record
inconsistent with the stated goals of E.O 12898 of achieving
environmental justice for people of color, low-income populations, and
indigenous peoples.
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).
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. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by November 28, 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).)
