SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently,
the Postal Service has no provision for
providing a refund to customers who
were eligible for Group E (free) P.O.
BoxTM service under DMM 508.4.5.2
and paid for P.O. Box service. Informal
policies were established to refund
customers who paid for P.O. Box service
despite their eligibility for Group E P.O.
Box service on an ad hoc basis but were
inconsistent.
To ensure uniform treatment of
customers who were not provided
Group E P.O. Box service, the Postal
Service is proposing to provide a refund
policy if it has been determined that a
customer paying for P.O. Box service is
entitled to Group E P.O. Box service. A
refund of prorated fees may be issued
for each full consecutive month
preceding the determination, up to a
maximum of 24 months. Interest will
not be paid on the amount refunded.
The Postal Service is also proposing
to make a minor revision to the text in
508.4.5.2c for clarity in the standard.
We believe the proposed revisions
will provide customers with a more
efficient mailing experience.
Although exempt from the notice and
comment requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C.
553(b), (c)) regarding proposed
rulemaking by 39 U.S.C. 410(a), the
Postal Service invites public comment
on the following proposed revisions to
Mailing Standards of the United States
Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual
(DMM), incorporated by reference in the
Code of Federal Regulations. See 39 CFR

YSAQMD ..........
Rule title
2.31
Solvent Cleaning and Degreasing ...............................................................
On September 30, 2022, the submittal
for YSAQMD Rule 2.31 was determined
to meet the completeness criteria in 40
CFR part 51 Appendix V, which must be
met before formal EPA review.
B. Are there other versions of this rule?
There is a previous version of Rule
2.31 in the SIP, revised on April 12,
2017, submitted to us by CARB on
August 9, 2017, and finalized with a
limited approval and limited
disapproval into the SIP on July 30,
2021 (86 FR 40959). If we take final
action to approve the July 18, 2022
version of Rule 2.31, this version will
replace the previously approved version
of this rule in the SIP.
C. What is the purpose of the submitted
rule revision?
VOCs contribute to the production of
ground-level ozone, smog, and
particulate matter, which harm human
health and the environment. Section
110(a) of the CAA requires states to
submit regulations that control
emissions of VOCs. The purpose of Rule
2.31 is to limit the emissions of VOCs
from solvent cleaning operations and
solvent degreasing operations, and from
the storage and disposal of materials
used for such operations. The EPA’s
technical support document (TSD) has
more information about this rule.
II. The EPA’s Evaluation and Action
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
A. How is the EPA evaluating the rule?
Rules in the SIP must be enforceable
(see CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not
interfere with applicable requirements
concerning attainment and reasonable
further progress or other CAA
requirements (see CAA section 110(l)),
and must not modify certain SIP control
requirements in nonattainment areas
without ensuring equivalent or greater
emissions reductions (see CAA section
193).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:31 Dec 12, 2022
Revised
Jkt 259001
Generally, SIP rules must require
reasonably available control technology
(RACT) for each category of sources
covered by a Control Techniques
Guidelines (CTG) document as well as
each major source of VOCs in ozone
nonattainment areas classified as
Moderate or above (see CAA section
182(b)(2)). The YSAQMD regulates an
ozone nonattainment area classified as
Severe nonattainment for the 2008 and
1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS); 1 and
Moderate nonattainment for the 2015 8hour ozone NAAQS.2 Therefore, this
rule must implement RACT.
Guidance and policy documents that
we use to evaluate enforceability,
revision/relaxation and rule stringency
requirements for the applicable criteria
pollutants include the following:
1. ‘‘State Implementation Plans;
General Preamble for the
Implementation of Title I of the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990,’’ 57 FR
13498 (April 16, 1992); 57 FR 18070
(April 28, 1992).
2. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation
Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and
Deviations,’’ EPA, May 25, 1988 (the
Bluebook, revised January 11, 1990).
3. ‘‘Guidance Document for Correcting
Common VOC & Other Rule
Deficiencies,’’ EPA Region 9, August 21,
2001 (the Little Bluebook).
4. ‘‘Control of Volatile Organic

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation
criteria?
Rule 2.31 improves the SIP by
eliminating an exemption that was not
approvable. The rule is largely
consistent with CAA requirements and
with relevant guidance regarding
enforceability and SIP revisions. The
EPA’s TSD has more information
regarding the EPA’s analysis of this rule.
C. Proposed Action and Public
Comment
As authorized in sections 110(k)(3)
and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA is
proposing a full approval of the
submitted rule. We will accept
comments from the public on this
proposal until January 12, 2023. If
finalized, this action would incorporate
the submitted rule into the SIP.
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 YSAQMD Rule 2.31, which
regulates VOC emissions from solvent
cleaning and degreasing operations. 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 CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
Act and applicable Federal regulations.

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 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

Jkt 259001
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 CAA; and
• 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 proposed 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

is proposing a full approval of the submitted rule. We will accept
comments from the public on this proposal until January 12, 2023. If
finalized, this action would incorporate the submitted rule into the
SIP.
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 YSAQMD Rule 2.31, which regulates VOC emissions from
solvent cleaning and degreasing operations. The EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these materials available through www.regulations.gov

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, 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).
[[Page 76173]]
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 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
