Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation

of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of North Carolina

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On August 9, 1991, the North Carolina Department of

Environmental Management (NCDEM), submitted a maintenance plan and a

request to redesignate the Charlotte area from nonattainment to

attainment for carbon monoxide (CO). The Charlotte CO nonattainment

area consists only of Mecklenburg County. Subsequently, NCDEM submitted

supplemental material to the Charlotte submittal on October 7, 1994.

Included with this package was a request to redesignate the Raleigh/

Durham area from nonattainment to attainment for CO. The Raleigh/Durham

CO nonattainment area consists of Durham and Wake Counties. Under the

Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA), designations can be revised if

sufficient data is available to warrant such revisions. In this action,

EPA is approving the North Carolina request because it meets the

maintenance plan and redesignation requirements set forth in the CAA.

DATES: This action will be effective September 18, 1995, unless

critical or adverse comments are received by September 1, 1995. If the

effective date is delayed, timely notice will be published in the

Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to Ben Franco, at the EPA

Regional office listed below. Copies of the redesignation request and

the State of North Carolina's submittal are available for public review

during normal business hours at the addresses listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In a March 15, 1991, letter to the EPA

Region 4 Administrator, the Governor of North Carolina recommended the

areas of Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte be designated as nonattainment

for CO, as required by section 107(d)(1)(A) of the 1990 CAA (Pub. L.

101-549, 104 Stat. 2399, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401-767lql). The cities

were designated nonattainment and classified as ``moderate,'' except

for Charlotte which was classified as ``not classified,'' under the

provisions outlined in sections 186 and 187 of the CAA (See 56 FR 56694

(Nov. 6, 1991) and 57 FR 56762 (Nov. 30, 1992), codified at 40 CFR part

81, Sec. 81.334). The National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for

CO is 9.5 ppm. CO nonattainment areas can be classified as moderate or

serious, based on their design values. Since Raleigh/Durham had a

design value of 10.9 ppm (based on 1988 and 1989 data), the area was

classified as moderate. The Charlotte area was a pre-1990 nonattainment

area and was designated by operation of law. However, the Charlotte

area was classified as ``not classified'' because it had a design value

of 8.4 ppm (based on 1988 and 1989 data), which is below the 9.5 ppm.

The CAA established an attainment date of December 31, 1995, for all

moderate CO areas. ``Not Classified'' areas, such as Charlotte, must

attain by November 15, 1995.

The Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas have ambient air quality

monitoring data showing attainment of the CO NAAQS from 1990 through

1993. The areas continued to monitor attainment in 1994 and 1995.

Therefore, in an effort to comply with the CAA and to ensure continued

attainment of the NAAQS, on August 9, 1991, and October 7, 1994, the

State of North Carolina submitted CO redesignation requests and

maintenance plans for the Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham areas,

respectively. The October 7, 1994, submittal included a revision of the

1991 Charlotte redesignation request. The request for redesignation

submittal and maintenance plan was approved by NCEMC on September 8,

1994. North Carolina submitted evidence that a public hearing was held

on March 28 and March 30, 1994.

The 1990 CAA Amendments revised section 107(d)(3)(E) to provide

five specific requirements that an area must meet in order to be

redesignated from nonattainment to attainment.

1. The area must have attained the applicable NAAQS;

2. The area must meet all applicable requirements under section 110

and Part D of the CAA;

3. The area must have a fully approved state implementation plan

under section 110(k) of CAA;

4. The air quality improvement must be permanent and enforceable;

and,

5. The area must have a fully approved maintenance plan pursuant to

section 175A of the CAA.

On November 12, 1991, and December 8, 1994, Region 4 determined the

Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham submittal, respectively, constituted a

complete redesignation request under the general completeness criteria

of 40 CFR 51, appendix V, sections 2.1 and 2.2.

The North Carolina redesignation request for the Raleigh/Durham and

Charlotte areas meet the five requirements of section 107(d)(3)(E),

noted above. The following is a brief description of how the State has

fulfilled each of these requirements. Because the maintenance plan is a

critical element of the redesignation request, EPA will discuss its

evaluation of the maintenance plan under its analysis of the

redesignation request.

1. Attainment of the CO NAAQS

The North Carolina requests are based on an analysis of quality

assured CO air monitoring data which is relevant to the maintenance

plan and to the redesignation requests. The ambient air CO monitoring

data for calendar year 1991 through calendar year 1993 shows no

violations of the CO NAAQS in the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas.

The most recent ambient CO data for the calendar year 1994 continue to

show no violations in the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas. Because

the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas have complete quality assured

data showing no more than one exceedance of the standard per year over

at least two consecutive years, the area has met the first statutory

criterion of attainment of the CO NAAQS (40 CFR 50.9 and Appendix C1).

North Carolina has committed to continue monitoring in this area in

accordance with 40 CFR Part 58.

2. Meeting Applicable Requirements of Section 110 and Part D

The 1990 CAA Amendments, modified section 110(a)(2) and, under Part

D, revised section 172 and added new requirements for all nonattainment

areas. Therefore, for purposes of redesignation, to meet the

requirement that the SIP contain all applicable requirements under the

CAA, EPA has reviewed the SIP to ensure that it contains all measures

that were due under the 1990 Amendments prior to or at the time the

State submitted its redesignation request.

A. Section 110 Requirements

Section 110 was amended by the 1990 Amendments. The North Carolina

SIP meets the requirements of amended section 110(a)(2). The State

implemented an Oxygenated Fuel program in the area of Raleigh/Durham

during the 1992 and 1993 winter seasons. The Charlotte area was not

required to implement an Oxygenated Fuels program. EPA has reviewed the

SIP and determined that it is consistent with the requirements of

amended section 110(a)(2).

B. Part D Requirements

Before Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte may be redesignated to

attainment, the applicable requirements of Part D must be fulfilled.

Subpart I of Part D sets forth the basic nonattainment requirements

applicable to all nonattainment areas, classified as well as

nonclassifiable. Subpart 3 of Part D establishes additional

requirements for nonattainment areas classified under section 186(a).

The Raleigh/Durham area was classified as moderate (See 40 CFR 81.334).

Therefore, in order to be redesignated to attainment, the State must

meet the applicable requirements of Subpart 1 of Part D, specifically

sections 172(c) and 176, and the requirements of Subpart 3 of Part D,

which became due on or before August 9, 1991, and October 7, 1994, the

dates the State submitted complete redesignation requests for Charlotte

and Raleigh/Durham, respectively. EPA interprets, according to section

107(d)(3)(E)(v) to mean that, for a redesignation request to be

approved, the State must have met all requirements that become

applicable to the subject area prior to or at time of the submission of

the redesignation request. Requirements of the CAA due subsequent to

the submission of the redesignation request will continue to be

applicable to the area (See section 175A(c)) until the redesignation

request is approved. If the redesignation is

[[Page 39260]]

disapproved, the State remains obligated to fulfill those requirements.

B1. Subpart 1 of Part D

Section 172(c) of Subpart 1 sets forth general requirements

applicable to all nonattainment areas. Under section 172(b), the

section 172(c) requirements are applicable as determined by the

Administrator but no later than three years after an area is designated

as nonattainment. Because the Raleigh/Durham area was designated as a

new CO nonattainment area on June 6, 1992, the section 172(c)

requirements are due by June 6, 1995. Therefore, the submission by

North Carolina of New Source Review and contingency measures required

under 172(c) are not yet due. To the extent the moderate CO

nonattainment area requirements of section 187(a) supersede the section

172(c) requirements, as is the case with emission inventories, North

Carolina has complied with those requirements.

B2. Subpart 1 of Part D

Section 176(c) of the CAA requires States to revise their SIPs to

establish criteria and procedures to ensure that Federal actions,

before they are taken, conform to the air quality planning goals in the

applicable SIP. The requirement to determine conformity applies to

general and transportation plans, programs and projects developed,

funded or approved under Title 23 U.S.C. or the Federal Transit Act

(``transportation conformity''). Section 176 further provides that the

conformity revisions to be submitted by States be consistent with

Federal conformity regulations that the CAA required EPA to promulgate.

Congress provided for the State revisions to be submitted one year

after the date for promulgation of final EPA conformity regulations.

When that date passed without such promulgation, EPA's General Preamble

for the Implementation of Title I informed States that the EPA

conformity regulations would establish a submittal date (see 57 FR

13498, 13557 (April 16, 1992)).

EPA promulgated final conformity regulations on November 24, 1993

(58 FR 62188)) and November 30, 1993 (58 FR 63214). These conformity

rules require that the States adopt both transportation and general

conformity provisions in the SIP for areas designated nonattainment or

subject to a maintenance plan approved under CAA section 175A. Pursuant

to section 51.396 of the transportation conformity rule and section

51.851 of the general conformity rule, the State of North Carolina is

required to submit a SIP revision containing transportation conformity

criteria and procedures consistent with those established in the

Federal rule by November 25, 1994. Similarly, North Carolina is

required to submit a SIP revision containing general conformity

criteria and procedures consistent with those established in the

Federal rule by December 1, 1994. On March 3, 1995, NCDEM submitted

general and transportation conformity regulations.

B3. Subpart 3 of Part D

Under section 187(a) areas designated nonattainment for CO under

the amended CAA and classified as moderate were required to meet

several requirements by November 15, 1992. Consequently, these

requirements are pertinent only for the Raleigh/Durham area. These

requirements included a 1990 Emission Inventory, an Inspection and

Maintenance Program (I/M), and an Oxygenated Fuel Program. EPA has

reviewed and is approving in this notice, North Carolina's 1990 Base

Year Emission Inventory. Section 211(m) further required North Carolina

to submit an oxygenated fuels regulation for the Raleigh/Durham area.

NCDEM submitted a complete Oxygenated Fuel SIP on November 20, 1992,

which was approved by EPA on June 30, 1994. On August 5, 1994, NCDEM

submitted a complete I/M SIP, which was approved by EPA on June 2,

1995. Therefore, all Subpart 3 requirements that were applicable at the

time the State submitted its redesignation request have been met.

3. Fully Approved SIP Under Section 110(k) of the CAA

Based on the approval of provisions under the preamended CAA and

EPA's approval of SIP revisions under the 1990 Amendments, EPA has

determined that the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas have a fully

approved SIP under section 110(k), which also meets the applicable

requirements of section 110 and Part D as discussed above.

4. Improvement in Air Quality Due to Permanent and Enforceable

Measures

Under the pre-amended CAA, EPA approved the North Carolina SIP

control strategy for the Charlotte nonattainment area, satisfied that

the rules and the emission reductions achieved as a result of those

rules were enforceable. The control measures due to an I/M program

generates annual CO reductions of about 12 percent. The fleet turnover

under the Federal Motor Vehicle Emission Control Program produced

annual CO emission reductions of 6 percent. There were additional

emission reductions of 19 to 21 percent in the Raleigh/Durham area due

to the implementation of an Oxygenated Fuels program during the winter

seasons of 1992 and 1993.

In association with its emission inventory discussed below, the

State of North Carolina has demonstrated that actual enforceable

emission reductions are responsible for the air quality improvement and

that the CO emissions in the base year are not artificially low due to

local economic downturn. EPA finds that the combination of existing EPA

approved SIP and federal measures contribute to the permanence and

enforceability of reduction in ambient CO levels that have allowed the

area to attain the NAAQS.

5. Fully Approved Maintenance Plan Under Section 175A

Section 175A of the CAA sets forth the elements of a maintenance

plan for areas seeking redesignation from nonattainment to attainment.

The plan must demonstrate continued attainment of the applicable NAAQS

for at least ten years after the Administrator approves a redesignation

to attainment. Eight years after the redesignation, the state must

submit a revised maintenance plan which demonstrates attainment for the

ten years following the initial ten-year period. To provide for the

possibility of future NAAQS violations, the maintenance plan must

contain contingency measures, with a schedule for implementation

adequate to assure prompt correction of any air quality problems. In

this notice, EPA is approving the State of North Carolina's maintenance

plan for the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas because EPA finds that

North Carolina's submittals meet the requirements of section 175A.

A. Emissions Inventory--Base Year Inventory

On November 16, 1992, the State of North Carolina submitted a

comprehensive inventory of CO emissions of the Raleigh/Durham and

Charlotte areas. The inventory includes emissions from area,

stationary, and mobile sources using 1990 as the base year for

calculations.

The State submittal contains the detailed inventory data and

summaries by county and source category. The comprehensive base year

emissions inventory was submitted in the National Emission Data System

format. The inventory was prepared in accordance with EPA guidance. It

also contains summary tables of the 1990 and 1991 base years and

projections to the year 2005 for the Charlotte and Raleigh/Durham

areas, respectively.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Demonstration of Maintenance--Projected Inventories

Total CO emissions were projected from 1990 base year out to 2005

for the Charlotte area, and from 1991 out to 2005 for the Raleigh/

Durham area. These projected inventories were prepared in accordance

with EPA guidance. The difference between Raleigh/Durham's 1990 Base

Year Inventory area sources and 1991 Base Year were due to different

methodologies. For 1991, additional data was included in the

calculation of the emissions. North Carolina will reduce the minimum

oxygen content for the Oxygenated Fuel program in Raleigh/Durham. The

projections show that calculated CO emissions, assuming a less

stringent oxygenated fuels program, are not expected to exceed the

level of the base year inventory during this time period. Therefore,

based on the results of Mobile5A modeling, it is anticipated that

Raleigh/Durham will maintain the CO standard with this program. It is

also anticipated that the Charlotte area will maintain the CO NAAQS

over the projected years. In case of an air quality problem, an

Oxygenated Fuel program will be implemented in Charlotte, as a

contingency measure.

C. Verification of Continued Attainment

Continued attainment of the CO NAAQS in the Raleigh/Durham and

Charlotte areas depend, in part, on the State's efforts toward tracking

indicators of continued attainment during the maintenance period. The

State has committed to submit periodic inventories of CO emissions

every three years.

D. Contingency Plan

The level of CO emissions in the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte areas

will largely determine their ability to stay in compliance with the

NAAQS in the future. Section 175A(d) of the CAA requires that the

contingency provisions include a requirement that the State implement

all measures contained in the SIP prior to redesignation. Therefore,

North Carolina has provided contingency measures with a schedule for

implementation in the event of a future CO air quality problem. The

plan contains triggering mechanisms to determine when contingency

measures are needed. The Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte contingency

plans, primary trigger will be a violation of the CO NAAQS. A secondary

trigger will be activated within 30 days of the State finding either:

(1) The periodic emissions inventory exceeds the base inventory by 10

percent or more, or (2) a monitored air quality exceedance pattern

indicates that an actual CO NAAQS violation may be imminent. A pattern

will be deemed to indicate an imminent violation if (a) one exceedance

of the standard per year has been monitored at a single monitor for two

successive years and those exceedances are at least greater than 20

percent above the standard (i.e., 10.8 ppm or above) or (b) the

monitored air quality exceedance pattern otherwise suggests that a CO

NAAQS violation is likely. Within 45 days of the trigger, the State

will activate the pre-adopted regulations discussed below to become

effective at the beginning of the next CO season. When other measures

are needed to ensure that a future violation of the CO NAAQS does not

occur, the State will complete the adoption process within one year of

the secondary trigger. In case of a primary or secondary trigger, NCDEM

will implement one or a combination of the following contingency

measures: implementing either a 2.7 or 3.1 percent Oxygenated Fuel

program, expanding the I/M program coverage, enhanced I/M,

transportation control measures, or employee commute options program.

EPA finds that the contingency measures provided in the State submittal

meet the requirements of section 175A(d) of the CAA.

[[Page 39262]]

E. Subsequent Maintenance Plan Revisions

In accordance with section 175A(b) of the CAA, the State has agreed

to submit a revised maintenance SIP eight years after the area is

redesignated to attainment. Such revised SIP will provide for

maintenance for an additional ten years.

Final Action

EPA is approving the Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte CO maintenance

plans because they meet the requirements set forth in section 175A of

the CAA. EPA is also approving the 1990 emissions inventory as

complying with the requirements of section 172(c)(3) and 187(a)(1). In

addition, the Agency is approving the requests and redesignating the

Raleigh/Durham and Charlotte CO areas to attainment, because the State

has demonstrated compliance with the requirements of section

107(d)(3)(E) for redesignation.

The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because

the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates

no adverse comments. However, in a separate document in this Federal

Register publication, the EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision

should adverse or critical comments be filed. This action will be

effective September 18, 1995, unless, by September 1, 1995, adverse or

critical comments are received.

If the EPA receives such comments, this action will be withdrawn

before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will

withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this action serving as a

proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should

do so at this time. If no such comments are received, the public is

advised that this action will be effective September 18, 1995.

Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or

allowing or establishing a precedent for any future request for

revision to any SIP. Each request for revision to the SIP shall be

considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and

environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and

regulatory requirements.

The CO SIP is designed to satisfy the requirements of Part D of the

CAA and to provide for attainment and maintenance of the CO NAAQS. This

final redesignation should not be interpreted as authorizing the State

to delete, alter, or rescind any of the CO emission limitations and

restrictions contained in the approved CO SIP. Changes to CO SIP

regulations rendering them less stringent than those contained in the

EPA approved plan cannot be made unless a revised plan for attainment

and maintenance is submitted to and approved by EPA. Unauthorized

relaxations, deletions, and changes could result in both a finding of

non-implementation (section 179(a) of the CAA) and in a SIP deficiency

call made pursuant to sections 110(a)(2)(H) and 110(k)(2) of the CAA.

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA

must prepare a regulatory flexibility analysis assessing the impact of

any proposed or final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603 and 604.

Alternatively, EPA may certify that the rule will not have a

significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. Small

entities include small businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises,

and government entities with jurisdiction over populations of less than

50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and subchapter I, Part D of the CAA

do not create any new requirements, but simply approve requirements

that the State is already imposing. Therefore, because the federal SIP

approval does not impose any new requirements, it does not have any

economic impact on any small entities. Redesignation of an area to

attainment under section 107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA does not impose any

new requirements on small entities. Redesignation is an action that

affects the status of a geographical area and does not impose any

regulatory requirements on sources. Accordingly, I certify that the

approval of the redesignation request will not have an impact on any

small entities.

Unfunded Mandates

Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform

Act of 1995 (``Unfunded Mandates Act''), signed into law on March 22,

1995, EPA must undertake various actions in association with proposed

or final rules that include a Federal mandate that may result in

estimated costs of $100 million or more to the private sector, or to

State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate.

Through submission of this state implementation plan or plan

revision, the State and any affected local or tribal governments have

elected to adopt the program provided for under section 175A and

section 187(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act. The rules and commitments

approved in this action may bind State, local and tribal governments to

perform certain actions and also may ultimately lead to the private

sector being required to certain duties. To the extent that the rules

and commitments being approved by this action will impose or lead to

the imposition of any mandate upon the State, local or tribal

governments either as the owner or operator of a source or as a mandate

upon the private sector, EPA's action will impose no new requirements

under State law; such sources are already subject to these requirements

under State law. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or

tribal governments, or to the private sector, results from this action.

EPA has also determined that this final action does not include a

mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100 million or more to

State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate or to the private

sector.
