Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 62 / Friday, March 29, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
response to the submittal of an NOI for
a potential upcoming OCS project.
EPA reviewed the North Carolina
Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) rules for inclusion in 40 CFR
part 55 in this action to ensure that they
are rationally related to the attainment
or maintenance of Federal or State
ambient air quality standards and
compliance with part C of title I of the
CAA, that they are not designed
expressly to prevent exploration and
development of the OCS, and that they
are potentially applicable to OCS
sources. See 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also
evaluated the rules to ensure they are
not arbitrary or capricious. See 40 CFR
55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded
administrative or procedural rules 2 and
requirements that regulate toxics which
are not related to the attainment and
maintenance of Federal and State
ambient air quality standards.
Section 328(a) of the CAA requires
that EPA establish requirements to
control air pollution from OCS sources
located within 25 miles of States’
seaward boundaries that are the same as
onshore requirements. To comply with
this statutory mandate, EPA must
incorporate applicable onshore rules
into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist
onshore. This limits EPA’s flexibility in
deciding which requirements will be
incorporated into 40 CFR part 55 and
prevents EPA from making substantive
changes to the requirements it
incorporates. As a result, EPA may be
incorporating rules into 40 CFR part 55
that do not conform to all of EPA’s State
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or
certain requirements of the CAA.
Consistency updates may result in the
inclusion of State or local rules or
regulations into 40 CFR part 55, even
though the same rules may ultimately be
disapproved for inclusion as part of the
SIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not
imply that a rule meets the requirements
of the CAA for SIP approval, nor does
it imply that the rule will be approved
by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

North Carolina Administrative Code
(NCAC) into EPA’s OCS regulations at
40 CFR part 55. The North Carolina
rules that EPA is taking final action to
incorporate are applicable provisions of
15A NCAC Subchapter 02D—Air
Pollution Control Requirements and
Subchapter 02Q—Air Quality Permits
Procedures, as amended through
November 8, 2023. The rules that EPA
is incorporating are set out more fully
below.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, and as discussed in Sections
I and III of this preamble, EPA is
finalizing the incorporation by reference
of ‘‘State of North Carolina Air Pollution
Control Requirements Applicable to
OCS Sources,’’ dated November 8, 2023,
which provides the text of the NCDEQ
air rules in effect as of November 8,
2023, that would apply to OCS sources.
EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 4 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 establish
requirements to control air pollution
from OCS sources located within 25
miles of States’ seaward boundaries that
are the same as onshore air pollution
control requirements. To comply with
this statutory mandate, EPA must
incorporate applicable onshore rules
into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist
onshore. See 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40
CFR 55.12. Thus, in promulgating OCS
consistency updates, EPA’s role is to
maintain consistency between OCS
regulations and the regulations of
onshore areas, provided that they meet
the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action simply updates the existing
OCS requirements to make them
consistent with requirements onshore,
without the exercise of any policy
direction by EPA. 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 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
PO 00000
Frm 00048
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
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 CAA.
Additionally, Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs
Federal agencies, to the greatest extent
practicable and permitted by law, to
make environmental justice part of their
mission by identifying and addressing,
as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or
environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority
populations (people of color and/or
Indigenous peoples) and low-income
populations.
EPA believes that this specific action
does not concern human health or
environmental conditions and therefore
cannot be evaluated with respect to
potentially disproportionate and
adverse effects on people of color, lowincome populations and/or Indigenous
peoples. This action simply fulfills
EPA’s statutory mandate to ensure
regulatory consistency between the COA
and inner OCS consistent with the
Stated objectives of CAA section
328(a)(1). Specifically, section 328(a)(1)
requires EPA to establish requirements
to control air pollution from OCS
sources ‘‘to attain and maintain Federal
and State ambient air quality standards
and to comply with the provisions of
part C of [title I of the CAA]’’ and, for
inner OCS sources (located within 25
miles of the seaward boundary of such
States), to establish requirements that
are ‘‘the same as would be applicable if
the source were located in the COA.’’
This section of the Act also States that
‘‘the Administrator shall update such
requirements as necessary to maintain
consistency with onshore regulations
and this chapter.’’ As noted in the
preamble, compliance with this
requirement limits EPA’s discretion in

Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 62 / Friday, March 29, 2024 / Rules and Regulations
deciding what will be incorporated into
40 CFR part 55.
The State regulations relevant to the
OCS that are incorporated into the CFR
went through North Carolina’s public
rulemaking process, including public
notice and comment. This action
incorporates into the CFR those State
regulations, which are already effective
onshore, to ensure regulatory
consistency with the COA as mandated
by CAA section 328(a)(1). This is a
routine and ministerial consistency
update that does not directly affect any
human health or environmental
conditions. In addition, EPA provided
meaningful public involvement on this
rule through the notice and comment
process.
This rule to incorporate by reference
sections of the NCAC into the CFR does
not apply on any Indian reservation
land as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151 or in
any other area where EPA or an Indian
tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, this rule incorporating by
reference sections of the NCAC 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 EPA will
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. 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 May 28, 2024.
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).).
This action does not impose any new
information collection burden under the
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). See 44
U.S.C. 3501. The Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) has previously
approved the information collection
activities contained in the existing
regulations at 40 CFR part 55 and, by
extension, this update to part 55, and
has assigned OMB control number

mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion of the OCS air
regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements for OCS
sources for which North Carolina is the designated COA. North
Carolina's requirements discussed in this document will be incorporated
by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) and listed in
the appendix to the Federal OCS air regulations.
DATES: This final rule is effective on April 29, 2024. The
incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in this rule
is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of April 29,
2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background and Purpose
On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which
established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in
order to attain and maintain Federal and State ambient air quality
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the
CAA. The regulations at 40 CFR part 55 apply to all OCS sources
offshore of the States except those located in the Gulf of Mexico west
of 87.5 degrees longitude. Section 328 of the CAA requires that for
such sources located within 25 miles of a State's seaward boundary, the
requirements shall be the same as would be applicable if the sources
were located in the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on
onshore requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section
328(a)(1) requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to
maintain consistency with onshore requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The reader may refer to the notice of proposed rulemaking,
December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63774), and the preamble to the final rule
promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792), for further background
and information on the OCS regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 12, 2023 (88 FR 86094), EPA published a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) proposing to incorporate various North
Carolina air pollution control requirements into 40 CFR part 55.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12, consistency reviews will occur: (1) At least
annually where an OCS activity is occurring within 25 miles of a State
seaward boundary; (2) upon receipt of a Notice of Intent (NOI) under 40
CFR 55.4; or (3) when a State or local agency submits a rule to EPA to
be considered for incorporation by reference in 40 CFR part 55. EPA's
NPRM was initiated in
[[Page 22088]]
response to the submittal of an NOI for a potential upcoming OCS
project.
EPA reviewed the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality
(NCDEQ) rules for inclusion in 40 CFR part 55 in this action to ensure
that they are rationally related to the attainment or maintenance of
Federal or State ambient air quality standards and compliance with part
C of title I of the CAA, that they are not designed expressly to
prevent exploration and development of the OCS, and that they are
potentially applicable to OCS sources. See 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also
evaluated the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary or capricious. See
40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded administrative or
procedural rules \2\ and requirements that regulate toxics which are
not related to the attainment and maintenance of Federal and State
ambient air quality standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Each COA which has been delegated the authority to implement
and enforce part 55 will use its administrative and procedural rules
as onshore. However, in those instances where EPA has not delegated
authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part 55, EPA will use its
own administrative and procedural requirements to implement the
substantive requirements. See 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that EPA establish requirements
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of
States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements.
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable
onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits
EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated
into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to
the requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating
rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's State
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the CAA.
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of State or local rules
or regulations into 40 CFR part 55, even though the same rules may
ultimately be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion
in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of
the CAA for SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be
approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
EPA did not receive any comments on the December 12, 2023, NPRM.
III. Final Action
EPA is taking final action to incorporate applicable provisions of
the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) into EPA's OCS
regulations at 40 CFR part 55. The North Carolina rules that EPA is
taking final action to incorporate are applicable provisions of 15A
NCAC Subchapter 02D--Air Pollution Control Requirements and Subchapter
02Q--Air Quality Permits Procedures, as amended through November 8,
2023. The rules that EPA is incorporating are set out more fully below.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, and as discussed in Sections I and III of this preamble, EPA
is finalizing the incorporation by reference of ``State of North
Carolina Air Pollution Control Requirements Applicable to OCS
Sources,'' dated November 8, 2023, which provides the text of the NCDEQ
air rules in effect as of November 8, 2023, that would apply to OCS
sources. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 4 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 establish
requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within
25 miles of States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore air
pollution control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate,
EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as
they exist onshore. See 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in
promulgating OCS consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain
consistency between OCS regulations and the regulations of onshore
areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly,
this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements to make them
consistent with requirements onshore, without the exercise of any
policy direction by EPA. 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
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 CAA.
Additionally, Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994)
directs Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations (people of color and/
or Indigenous peoples) and low-income populations.
EPA believes that this specific action does not concern human
health or environmental conditions and therefore cannot be evaluated
with respect to potentially disproportionate and adverse effects on
people of color, low-income populations and/or Indigenous peoples. This
action simply fulfills EPA's statutory mandate to ensure regulatory
consistency between the COA and inner OCS consistent with the Stated
objectives of CAA section 328(a)(1). Specifically, section 328(a)(1)
requires EPA to establish requirements to control air pollution from
OCS sources ``to attain and maintain Federal and State ambient air
quality standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of [title
I of the CAA]'' and, for inner OCS sources (located within 25 miles of
the seaward boundary of such States), to establish requirements that
are ``the same as would be applicable if the source were located in the
COA.'' This section of the Act also States that ``the Administrator
shall update such requirements as necessary to maintain consistency
with onshore regulations and this chapter.'' As noted in the preamble,
compliance with this requirement limits EPA's discretion in
[[Page 22089]]
deciding what will be incorporated into 40 CFR part 55.
The State regulations relevant to the OCS that are incorporated
into the CFR went through North Carolina's public rulemaking process,
including public notice and comment. This action incorporates into the
CFR those State regulations, which are already effective onshore, to
ensure regulatory consistency with the COA as mandated by CAA section
328(a)(1). This is a routine and ministerial consistency update that
does not directly affect any human health or environmental conditions.
In addition, EPA provided meaningful public involvement on this rule
through the notice and comment process.
This rule to incorporate by reference sections of the NCAC into the
CFR does not apply on any Indian reservation land as defined in 18
U.S.C. 1151 or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, this rule incorporating by reference sections of the NCAC 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 EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. 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 May 28, 2024. 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).).
This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). See 44 U.S.C. 3501. The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information
collection activities contained in the existing regulations at 40 CFR
part 55 and, by extension, this update to part 55, and has assigned OMB
control number 2060-0249.\3\ This action does not impose a new
information burden under PRA because this action only updates the State
rules that are incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55, Appendix
A.
