Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, 2001-2002 [2025-00363]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 90, No. 6 / Friday, January 10, 2025 / Notices khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES nonroad engines (including ‘‘non-new’’ engines), states generally are preempted from adopting and enforcing standards and other requirements relating to the control of emissions, except that section 209(e)(2)(A) of the Act requires EPA, after notice and opportunity for public hearing, to authorize California to adopt and enforce such regulations unless EPA makes one of three enumerated findings. Specifically, EPA must deny authorization if the Administrator finds that (1) California’s protectiveness determination (i.e., that California standards will be, in the aggregate, as protective of public health and welfare as applicable federal standards) is arbitrary and capricious, (2) California does not need such standards to meet compelling and extraordinary conditions, or (3) the California standards and accompanying enforcement procedures are not consistent with section 209 of the Act. On July 20, 1994, EPA promulgated a rule (the 1994 rule) interpreting the three criteria set forth in CAA section 209(e)(2)(A) that EPA must consider before granting any California authorization request for nonroad engine or vehicle emission standards.5 EPA revised these regulations in 1997.6 As stated in the preamble to the 1994 rule, EPA has interpreted the consistency inquiry under the third criterion, outlined above and set forth in section 209(e)(2)(A)(iii), to require, at minimum, that California standards and enforcement procedures be consistent with section 209(a), section 209(e)(1), and section 209(b)(1)(C) of the Act.7 In order to be consistent with section 209(a), California’s nonroad standards and enforcement procedures must not apply to new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines. To be consistent with section 209(e)(1), California’s nonroad standards and enforcement procedures must not attempt to regulate engine categories that are permanently preempted from state regulation. To requirement relating to the control of emissions from new nonroad engines which are used in construction equipment or vehicles or used in farm equipment or vehicles and which are smaller than 175 horsepower. Such express preemption under section 209(e)(1) of the Act also applies to new locomotives or new engines used in locomotives. 5 See ‘‘Air Pollution Control; Preemption of State Regulation for Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Standards,’’ 59 FR 36969 (July 20, 1994). 6 See ‘‘Control of Air Pollution: Emission Standards for New Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines at or Above 37 Kilowatts; Preemption of State Regulation for Nonroad Engine and Vehicle Standards; Amendments to Rules,’’ 62 FR 67733 (December 30, 1997). The applicable regulations are now found in 40 CFR part 1074, subpart B, Part 1074. 7 EPA has interpreted section 209(b)(1)(C) in the context of section 209(b) motor vehicle waivers. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:28 Jan 08, 2025 Jkt 265001 determine consistency with section 209(b)(1)(C), EPA typically reviews nonroad authorization requests under the same ‘‘consistency’’ criteria that are applied to motor vehicle waiver requests under section 209(b)(1)(C). That section provides that the Administrator shall not grant California a motor vehicle waiver if the Administrator finds that California ‘‘standards and accompanying enforcement procedures are not consistent with section 202(a)’’ of the Act. CARB determined that the 2022 TRU Amendments and accompanying enforcement procedures do not cause California’s standards, in the aggregate, to be less protective to public health and welfare than the applicable Federal standards. The administrative record, including information presented to me by parties opposing California’s authorization request, did not demonstrate that California arbitrarily or capriciously reached this protectiveness determination. Therefore, based on the record, I cannot find California’s determination to be arbitrary and capricious under section 209(e)(2)(A)(i). CARB has demonstrated the existence of compelling and extraordinary conditions justifying the need for such State standards. The administrative record, including information presented to me by parties opposing California’s authorization request, did not demonstrate that California does not need such State standards to meet compelling and extraordinary conditions. Thus, based on the record, I cannot deny the authorization based on section 209(e)(2)(A)(ii). CARB has submitted information that the 2022 TRU Amendments and test procedures are consistent with section 209(a), section 209(e)(1), and section 209(b)(1)(C) of the Act. The administrative record, including information presented to me by parties opposing California’s authorization request, did not satisfy the burden of persuading EPA that the standards that EPA is authorizing are not consistent with section 209. Thus, based on the record, I cannot deny the authorization based on section 209(e)(2)(A)(iii). EPA is not acting at this time on CARB’s ZETRU requirements for the turnover of at least 15 percent of their diesel-fueled truck TRU fleet to ZETRU by December 31, 2023, (and each year thereafter.) Accordingly, I hereby granted the authorization requested by California, with the exception noted above. Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA governs judicial review of final actions by the PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 2001 EPA. Petitions for review must be filed by March 11, 2025. As with past authorization decisions, this action is not a rule as defined by Executive Order 12866. Therefore, it is exempt from review by the Office of Management and Budget as required for rules and regulations by Executive Order 12866. In addition, this action is not a rule as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 601(2). Therefore, EPA has not prepared a supporting regulatory flexibility analysis addressing the impact of this action on small business entities. The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, does not apply because this action is not a rule, for purposes of 5 U.S.C. 804(3).
