What comments were received in response to the EPA’s proposed action? III. What action is the EPA taking? IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. What is the background for this action? On August 25, 2023 (88 FR 58202), the EPA proposed to approve a SIP revision submitted by the State of New York on January 29, 2021, for purposes of meeting the requirement for Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) 1 for the 2008 8hour Ozone NAAQS in New York’s portion of the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island (NJ-NJ-CT) nonattainment area (also referred to as the New York Metro Area or NYMA) for the Serious classification. The EPA also proposed to approve that same submittal for meeting New York’s RACT requirements for the 2015 8-hour Ozone NAAQS in the NYMA and for meeting the State’s requirements for statewide RACT for the 2015 8-hour Ozone NAAQS within the Ozone Transport Region (OTR). The State’s January 2021 SIP submittal consists of a RACT certification demonstration that New York continues to meet the RACT requirements for the two precursors for ground-level ozone, i.e., oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), set forth by the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) with respect to the 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone standard. Therefore, the EPA proposed to approve New York’s January 2021 1 The EPA has defined RACT as the lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable of meeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably available considering technological and economic feasibility (44 FR 53762, September 17, 1979). PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 RACT SIP submittal as it applies to noncontrol technique guideline (non-CTG) major sources of VOCs, CTG sources of VOCs and to major sources of NOX. In the August 25, 2023, notice of proposed rulemaking, the EPA also proposed to approve portions of a comprehensive SIP revision submitted by the State of New York on November 29, 2021, certifying that the State has satisfied the requirements for: (1) An Ozone nonattainment new source review (NNSR) program which applies to NOX and VOC emissions from stationary sources; (2) a nonattainment emission inventory; and (3) clean fuels for fleets. The EPA also proposed to approve New York’s reasonable further progress plans and motor vehicle emission budgets (transportation conformity budgets or Budgets) for the Serious classifications of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS in the NYMA. In the August 25, 2023, notice of proposed rulemaking, the EPA also proposed to approve New York’s reasonable further progress and transportation conformity budgets for the Moderate classification of the 2008 Ozone NAAQS in the NYMA, which was submitted by the State on November 13, 2017. In New York’s January 29, 2021, RACT submittal for the Serious classification of the 2008 Ozone standard, Moderate classification for the 2015 Ozone Standard, and OTR requirements related to the 2015 ozone NAAQS, New York recertified that its previously approved negative declaration for various CTGs remain valid. New York certified that there are no sources located in the State for the following six CTGs: Manufacture of Vegetable Oils; Manufacture of HighDensity Polyethylene, Polypropylene and Polystyrene Resins; Natural Gas/ Gasoline Processing Plants; Air Oxidation Processes in Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry; Fiberglass Boat Manufacturing Materials; Agricultural Pesticides. In the August 25, 2023, notice of proposed rulemaking, the EPA proposed that the State’s negative declaration for the six CTGs listed above remain valid and satisfies the requirements for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS Serious classification, the 2015 Ozone Standard Moderate classification and requirements associated with the OTR for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS. Therefore, within this action the EPA is certifying that the previously approved State’s negative declaration remains valid for these six CTGs for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS Serious classification, the 2015 Ozone Standard Moderate classification and the requirements associated with the OTR for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS.
