I. Proposed Action
On August 19, 2024 (89 FR 67014),
the EPA proposed to approve the
following rules into the Arizona SIP.
Rule title
Revised
Storage and Transfer of Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD) Facility.
Storage and Loading of Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at Bulk Gasoline Terminals.
We proposed to approve these rules
because we determined that they
comply with the relevant CAA
requirements. We also proposed to
approve the MCAQD’s RACT
demonstration associated with these
rules for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.
Additionally, we proposed that the
revised rules corrected the deficiencies
identified in our previous conditional
approval (85 FR 10986, February 26,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
(d) Enforcement period. This section
will be enforced from 6 p.m. through

more information on the rules and our
evaluation.
II. Public Comments and EPA

approving MCAQD Rule 350 and Rule
351 into the Arizona SIP. The November
18, 2020 version of Rule 350 and Rule
351 will replace the conditionally
approved version of these rules in the

these rules, and the EPA is now
removing the conditional approval text
associated with these rules and CTG
categories from 40 CFR 52.119(c)(1). The
EPA is also approving MCAQD’s RACT

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 MCAQD
Rule 350, ‘‘Storage and Transfer of
Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an
Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD)
Facility,’’ revised on November 18,
2020, which regulates VOC emissions
from organic liquid storage and transfer
operations at organic liquid distribution
facilities. The EPA is also finalizing the
incorporation by reference of MCAQD
Rule 351, ‘‘Storage and Loading of
Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at
Bulk Gasoline Terminals,’’ revised on
November 18, 2020, which regulates
VOC emissions from gasoline storage
and loading activities at bulk gasoline
plants and terminals. Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the
EPA for inclusion in the SIP, 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
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
1 62
FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
VerDate Sep<11>2014
15:13 Dec 06, 2024
Jkt 265001
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 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• 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 subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because it approves a state program;
• 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.
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).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal
agencies to identify and address
‘‘disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects’’
of their actions on communities with
environmental justice (EJ) concerns to
the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. Executive Order
14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation’s
Commitment to Environmental Justice
for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023)
builds on and supplements Executive
Order 12898 and defines EJ as, among
other things, ‘‘the just treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people,
PO 00000
Frm 00086
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
regardless of income, race, color,
national origin, Tribal affiliation, or
disability, in agency decision-making
and other Federal activities that affect
human health and the environment.’’
The State did not evaluate EJ
considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation.
The EPA did not perform an EJ analysis
and did not consider EJ in this action.
Consideration of EJ is not required as
part of this action, and there is no
information in the record inconsistent
with the stated goal of Executive Orders
12898 and 14096 of achieving EJ for
communities with EJ concerns.
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and the 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 February 7, 2025.
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).)

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Proposed Action
On August 19, 2024 (89 FR 67014), the EPA proposed to approve the
following rules into the Arizona SIP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Local agency Rule No. Rule title Revised Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MCAQD................................ 350 Storage and Transfer of Organic 11/18/2020 12/03/2020
Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at an
Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD)
Facility.
MCAQD................................ 351 Storage and Loading of Gasoline at 11/18/2020 12/03/2020
Bulk Gasoline Plants and at Bulk
Gasoline Terminals.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We proposed to approve these rules because we determined that they
comply with the relevant CAA requirements. We also proposed to approve
the MCAQD's RACT demonstration associated with these rules for the 2008
8-hour ozone NAAQS. Additionally, we proposed that the revised rules
corrected the deficiencies identified in our previous conditional
approval (85 FR 10986, February 26, 2020). Our proposed action contains
more information on the rules and our evaluation.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During this period, we received no comments.
III. EPA Action
No comments were submitted. Therefore, as authorized in section
110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is approving MCAQD Rule 350 and Rule 351
into the Arizona SIP. The November 18, 2020 version of Rule 350 and
Rule 351 will replace the conditionally approved version of these rules
in the SIP. This action signifies that the State of Arizona has
fulfilled its commitment
[[Page 97544]]
under the terms of the February 26, 2020 conditional approval (85 FR
10986) to submit revised versions of these rules, and the EPA is now
removing the conditional approval text associated with these rules and
CTG categories from 40 CFR 52.119(c)(1). The EPA is also approving
MCAQD's RACT demonstration associated with these rules for the 2008 8-
hour ozone NAAQS in the Phoenix-Mesa ozone nonattainment area.
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 MCAQD
Rule 350, ``Storage and Transfer of Organic Liquids (Non-Gasoline) at
an Organic Liquid Distribution (OLD) Facility,'' revised on November
18, 2020, which regulates VOC emissions from organic liquid storage and
transfer operations at organic liquid distribution facilities. The EPA
is also finalizing the incorporation by reference of MCAQD Rule 351,
``Storage and Loading of Gasoline at Bulk Gasoline Plants and at Bulk
Gasoline Terminals,'' revised on November 18, 2020, which regulates VOC
emissions from gasoline storage and loading activities at bulk gasoline
plants and terminals. Therefore, these materials have been approved by
the EPA for inclusion in the SIP, 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\ 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 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
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 subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
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.
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).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on communities with environmental justice
(EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
Executive Order 14096 (Revitalizing Our Nation's Commitment to
Environmental Justice for All, 88 FR 25251, April 26, 2023) builds on
and supplements Executive Order 12898 and defines EJ as, among other
things, ``the just treatment and meaningful involvement of all people,
regardless of income, race, color, national origin, Tribal affiliation,
or disability, in agency decision-making and other Federal activities
that affect human health and the environment.''
The State did not evaluate EJ considerations as part of its SIP
submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA did not perform an EJ
analysis and did not consider EJ in this action. Consideration of EJ is
not required as part of this action, and there is no information in the
record inconsistent with the stated goal of Executive Orders 12898 and
14096 of achieving EJ for communities with EJ concerns.
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the 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 February 7, 2025. 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).)
