[EPA-R10-OAR-2016-0784; FRL-9960-83-Region 10]
Air Plan Approval; Washington: General Regulations for Air Pollution Sources, Southwest Clean Air Agency Jurisdiction

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were submitted by the Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) in coordination with Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) on December 20, 2016. In the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015, the EPA approved numerous revisions to Ecology's general air quality regulations. However, our approval of the updated Ecology regulations applied only to geographic areas where Ecology, and not a local air agency, had jurisdiction, and statewide, to source categories over which Ecology had sole jurisdiction. Under the Washington Clean Air Act, local clean air agencies may adopt equally stringent or more stringent requirements in lieu of Ecology's general air quality regulations, if they so choose. Therefore, the EPA stated that we would evaluate the general air quality regulations as they applied to local jurisdictions in separate, future actions. This final action approves the submitted SWCAA general air quality regulations to replace or supplement the corresponding Ecology regulations for sources in SWCAA's jurisdiction, including implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new source review permitting programs. This action also approves a limited subset of Ecology regulations, for which there are no corresponding SWCAA corollaries, to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction.

DATES:

This final rule is effective May 10, 2017.

I. Background Information

On January 19, 2017, the EPA proposed to approve revisions to SWCAA's general air quality regulations and a limited subset of Ecology regulations to apply in SWCAA's jurisdiction (82 FR 6413). An explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, a detailed analysis of the revisions, and the EPA's reasons for proposing approval were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking, and will not be restated here. The public comment period for this proposed rule ended on February 21, 2017. The EPA received two, separate anonymous comments on the proposal.

II. Response to Comments

Comment #1:
The commenter asserted that the EPA's proposed action is an example of federal overreach on state and local jurisdictions. The commenter also stated that the EPA's review and proposed approval of the SWCAA regulations violates the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Response:
Under the CAA, as established and amended by Congress, state and local authorities take the lead in developing State Implementation Plans (SIP) that implement, maintain, and enforce the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS), which are standards designed to protect public health and welfare from air pollution. In reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). In this case, EPA has done just that—Washington elected to submit the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision to the EPA, and the EPA has proposed to approve the submission based on our determination that it meets the requirements of the CAA. We are now finalizing our determination.

With respect to the claim that the EPA's action in approving this SIP submittal violates the Tenth Amendment, the Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed the constitutionality of federal statutes, such as Section 110 of the CAA, that allow States to administer federal programs but provide for direct federal administration if a State chooses not to administer it.

Comment #2:
A second commenter wrote in support of the EPA's proposed approval of the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision.

Response:
We are now finalizing our proposed determination that the SWCAA and Ecology SIP revision meets the requirements of the CAA.

B. Approved but Not Incorporated by Reference Regulations

In addition to the regulations approved and incorporated by reference stated previously, the EPA reviews and approves state and local clean air agency submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement authority and other general authority to implement and enforce the SIP. However, regulations describing such agency enforcement and other general authority are generally not incorporated by reference so as to avoid potential conflict with the EPA's independent authorities. The EPA has reviewed and is approving SWCAA 400-220

as providing SWCAA adequate enforcement and other general authorities for purposes of implementing and enforcing its SIP. However, the EPA is not incorporating these sections by reference into the SIP codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead, the EPA is including these sections in 40 CFR 52.2470(e),
EPA Approved Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures,
as approved but not incorporated by reference regulatory provisions.

C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP

The Ecology regulations contained in Washington's SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—
Table 8—Additional Regulations Approved for the Southwest Clean Air Agency (SWCAA) Jurisdiction
were last approved by the EPA on June 2, 1995 (60 FR 28726). As discussed in the proposal for this action, under the Washington Clean Air Act, local air agencies have the option of adopting and implementing equally stringent or more stringent corresponding provisions to apply in lieu of Chapter 173-400 WAC, or parts of Chapter 173-400 WAC. With the exception of updated versions of WAC 173-400-117, 173-400-118, and 173-400-560, SWCAA requested that the submitted SWCAA regulations replace the existing WAC provisions currently in the SIP for its jurisdiction. Also as discussed in the proposal, we are removing from the SIP SWCAA 400-050(3) [formerly 400-050(2)], 400-052, 400-070(6), 400-070(8)(c) [formerly 400-070(7)(c) and (d)], 400-074(2), 400-100, 400-101, and 400-109(4), because removal of these provisions would not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment and reasonable further progress, or any other applicable requirement of the CAA. We also note that the SIP includes a reference to SWCAA 400-090 which was renumbered to SWCAA 400-091 on September 21, 1995. We are removing the reference to SWCAA 400-090 in the SIP which was inadvertently not addressed as part of our February 26, 1997 approval of SWCAA 400-091 (62 FR 8624).

D. Scope of Proposed Action

This revision to the Washington SIP applies specifically to the SWCAA jurisdiction incorporated at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 8. As discussed in our October 3, 2014 approval of revisions to the WAC, local air agency jurisdiction in Washington is generally defined on a geographic basis; however, there are exceptions (79 FR 59653, at page 59654). By statute, SWCAA does not have authority for sources under the jurisdiction of the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC).
See
Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under the applicability provisions of WAC 173-405-012, 173-410-012, and 173-415-012, SWCAA also does not have jurisdiction for kraft pulp mills, sulfite pulping mills, and primary aluminum plants. For these sources, Ecology retains statewide, direct jurisdiction. Ecology also retains statewide, direct jurisdiction for the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permitting program. Therefore, the EPA is not approving into 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 8 the provisions of Chapter 173-400 WAC related to the PSD program. Specifically, the provisions are WAC 173-400-116 and WAC 173-400-700 through 750, already approved by the EPA as applying state-wide.

Jurisdiction to implement the visibility permitting program contained in WAC 173-400-117 varies depending on the situation (see 80 FR 23721, April 29, 2015, at page 80 FR 23726). Ecology retains authority to implement WAC 173-400-117 as it relates to PSD permits. However, for facilities subject to major nonattainment new source review (NSR) under the applicability provisions of SWCAA 400-800, we are approving SWCAA to implementing those parts of WAC 173-400-117 as they relate to major nonattainment NSR permits. We are also modifying the visibility protection Federal Implementation Plan contained in 40 CFR 52.2498 to reflect the approval of WAC 173-400-117 as it applies to

implementation of the major nonattainment NSR program in SWCAA's jurisdiction.

Lastly, this SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in the State, or any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.

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 as described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. These materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State Implementation Plan, 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 by the Director of the Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.

The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available through
http://www.regulations.gov
and/or at the EPA Region 10 Office (please contact the person identified in the
For Further Information Contact
section of this preamble for more information).

62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 CAA. 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 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 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 this action does not involve technical standards; and

• does not provide the EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

This SIP revision is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land in Washington or 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).

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801
et seq.,
as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. The EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the
Federal Register
. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the
Federal Register
. This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 9, 2017. 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)).
