AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action on revisions to the

California State Implementation Plan. The revisions concern rules from

the following Districts: Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District

(YSAQMD), Monterey Bay Unified Air Pollution Control District

(MBUAPCD), South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD), Santa

Barbara County Air Pollution Control District (SBCAPCD), Sacramento

Metropolitan Air Quality Management District (SMAQMD), and Kern County

Air Pollution Control District (KNCAPCD). This approval action will

incorporate these rules into the federally approved SIP. The intended

effect of approving these rules is to regulate emissions of volatile

organic compounds (VOCs) in accordance with the requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). The revised rules

control VOC emissions from organic solvent cleaning, and surface

preparation and cleanup. Thus, EPA is finalizing the approval of these

revisions into the California SIP under provisions of the CAA regarding

EPA action on SIP submittals, SIPs for national primary and secondary

ambient air quality standards and plan requirements for nonattainment

areas.

DATES: This rule is effective on June 1, 1999 without further notice,

unless EPA receives adverse comments by May 3, 1999. If EPA receives

such comment, it will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal

Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Comments must be submitted to Andrew Steckel at the Region

IX office listed below. Copies of the rule revisions and EPA's

evaluation report for each rule are available for public inspection at

EPA's Region IX office during normal business hours. Copies of the

submitted rule revisions are available for inspection at the following

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Applicability

The part of this Federal Register action which applies to the South

Coast Air Quality Management District excludes the Los Angeles County

portion of the Southeast Desert AQMA, otherwise known as the Antelope

Valley Region in Los Angeles County, which is now under the

jurisdiction of the Antelope Valley Air Pollution Control District as

of July 1, 1997.

The rules being approved into the California SIP include: YSAQMD

Rule 2.31--Surface Preparation and Cleanup, MBUAPCD Rule 433--Organic

Solvent Cleaning, SCAQMD Rule 1122--Solvent Degreasers, SBCAPCD Rule

321--Solvent Cleaning Operations, SMAQMD Rule 454--Degreasing

Operations, and KNCAPCD Rule 410.3--Organic Solvent Cleaning

Operations. These rules were submitted by the California Air Resources

Board (CARB) to EPA on November 30, 1994, June 3, 1997, September 8,

1997, March 10, 1998, May 18, 1998, and June 23, 1998 respectively.

II. Background

On March 3, 1978, EPA promulgated a list of ozone nonattainment

areas under the provisions of the Clean Air Act, as amended in l977

(1977 Act or pre-amended Act), that included the Sacramento Metro Area,

which includes Yolo County and part of Solano County, the Monterey Bay

Area, the South Coast Air Basin, the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-Lompoc

Area, and the Southeast Desert Modified Air Quality Management Area. 43

FR 8964, 40 CFR 81.305. On May 26, 1988, EPA notified the Governor of

California, pursuant to section 110(a)(2)(H) of the 1977 Act, that the

above districts' portions of the California SIP were inadequate to

attain and maintain the ozone standard and requested that deficiencies

in the existing SIP be corrected (EPA's SIP--Call). On November 15,

1990, the Clean

[[Page 15923]]

Air Act Amendments of 1990 were enacted. Pub. L. 101-549, 104 Stat.

2399, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q. In amended section 182(a)(2)(A)

of the CAA, Congress statutorily adopted the requirement that

nonattainment areas fix their deficient reasonably available control

technology (RACT) rules for ozone and established a deadline of May 15,

1991 for states to submit corrections of those deficiencies.

Section 182(a)(2)(A) applies to areas designated as nonattainment

prior to enactment of the amendments and classified as marginal or

above as of the date of enactment. It requires such areas to adopt and

correct RACT rules pursuant to pre-amended section 172 (b) as

interpreted in pre-amendment guidance.1 EPA's SIP-Call used

that guidance to indicate the necessary corrections for specific

nonattainment areas. The Sacramento Metro Area is classified as severe,

the Monterey Bay Area as serious, the South Coast Air Basin as extreme,

the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-Lompoc Area as serious, therefore, these

areas were subject to the RACT fix-up requirement and the May 15, 1991

deadline. However, the Southeast Desert Air Basin portion of Kern

County was not a pre-amendment nonattainment area and, therefore, was

not designated and classified upon enactment of the amended ACT. For

this reason KNCAPCD is not subject to section 182(a)(2)(A) RACT fix-up

requirement. The KNCAPCD is, however, still subject to the requirements

of EPA's SIP-Call, because the SIP-Call included all of Kern

County.2

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

\1\ Among other things, the pre-amendment guidance consists of

those portions of the proposed Post-1987 ozone and carbon monoxide

policy that concern RACT, 52 FR 45044 (November 24, 1987); ``Issues

Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations,

Clarification to Appendix D of November 24, 1987 Federal Register

Notice'' (Blue Book) (notice of availability was published in the

Federal Register on May 25, 1988); and the existing control

technique guidelines (CTGs).

\2\ The Sacramento Metro Area, the Monterey Bay Area, the South

Coast Air Basin, the Monterey Bay Area, and the Santa Barbara-Santa

Maria-Lompoc Area retained their designation and were classified by

operation of law pursuant to sections 107(d) and 181(a) upon the

date of enactment of the CAA. The Southeast Desert Air Basin Portion

of Kern County was designated nonattainment on November 6, 1991 (56

FR 56649). On April 25, 1995, EPA published a final rule granting

the State's request to reclassify the Sacramento Metro Area to

severe from serious (60 FR 20237). This reclassification became

effective on June 1, 1995. On December 10, 1997, EPA published a

final rule reclassifying the Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-Lompoc Area

to serious from moderate. This reclassification became effective on

January 9, 1998.

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

The State of California submitted many revised RACT rules for

incorporation into its SIP on November 30, 1994, June 3, 1997,

September 8, 1997, March 10, 1998, May 18, 1998, and June 23, 1998,

including the rules being acted on in this document. This document

addresses EPA's direct-final action for YSAQMD Rule 2.31--Surface

Preparation and Cleanup, MBUAPCD Rule 433--Organic Solvent Cleaning,

SCAQMD Rule 1122--Solvent Degreasers, SBCAPCD Rule 321--Solvent

Cleaning Operations, SMAQMD Rule 454--Degreasing Operations, and

KNCAPCD Rule 410.3--Organic Solvent Cleaning Operations. YSAQMD adopted

Rule 2.31 on April 27, 1994, MBUAPCD adopted Rule 433 on March 26,

1997, SCAQMD adopted Rule 1122 on July 11, 1997, SBCAPCD adopted Rule

321 on September 18, 1997, SMAQMD adopted Rule 454 on April 3, 1997,

and KNCAPCD adopted Rule 410.3 on May 7, 1998. These submitted rules

were found to be complete on January 30, 1995 (2.31), September 5, 1997

(433), October 20, 1997 (1122), July 17, 1998 (454) and August 25, 1998

(410.3) pursuant to EPA's completeness criteria that are set forth in

40 CFR part 51 Appendix V 3 and is being finalized for

approval into the SIP.

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

\3\ EPA adopted the completeness criteria on February 16, 1990

(55 FR 5830) and, pursuant to section 110(k)(1)(A) of the CAA,

revised the criteria on August 26, 1991 (56 FR 42216).

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

These rules regulate VOC emissions from organic solvent cleaning

operations, and surface preparation and clean-up activities. VOCs

contribute to the production of ground level ozone and smog. This rules

were originally adopted as part of these Districts' effort to achieve

the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and in

response to EPA's SIP-Call and the section 182(a)(2)(A) CAA

requirement. The following is EPA's evaluation and final action for

this rule.

III. EPA Evaluation and Action

In determining the approvability of a VOC rule, EPA must evaluate

the rule for consistency with the requirements of the CAA and EPA

regulations, as found in section 110 and part D of the CAA and 40 CFR

part 51 (Requirements for Preparation, Adoption, and Submittal of

Implementation Plans). The EPA interpretation of these requirements,

which forms the basis for today's action, appears in the various EPA

policy guidance documents listed in footnote 1. Among those provisions

is the requirement that a VOC rule must, at a minimum, provide for the

implementation of RACT for stationary sources of VOC emissions. This

requirement was carried forth from the pre-amended Act.

For the purpose of assisting state and local agencies in developing

RACT rules, EPA prepared a series of Control Technique Guideline (CTG)

documents. The CTGs are based on the underlying requirements of the Act

and specify the presumptive norms for what is RACT for specific source

categories. Under the CAA, Congress ratified EPA's use of these

documents, as well as other Agency policy, for requiring States to

``fix-up'' their RACT rules. See section 182(a)(2)(A). The CTG

applicable to MBUAPCD Rule 433, SCAQMD Rule 1122, SBCAPCD Rule 321,

SMAQMD Rule 454, and KNCAPCD Rule 410.3 is entitled, Control of

Volatile Organic Emissions from Solvent Metal Cleaning, EPA-450/2-77-

022, November 1977. YSAQMD Rule 2.31 controls emissions from a source

category for which EPA has not issued a CTG. Accordingly this rule was

evaluated against the general RACT requirements of the Clean Air Act

(CAA section 110 and part D). The rule was also compared with other

district rules covering the same source category to ensure consistency.

Further interpretation of EPA policy are found in the Blue Book,

referred to in footnote 1. In general, these guidance documents have

been set forth to ensure that VOC rules are fully enforceable and

strengthen or maintain the SIP.

There is currently no version of YSAQMD Rule 2.31, Surface

Preparation and Cleanup SIP. The submitted rule includes the following

provisions:

Applicability section defining who is subject to the rule,

Exemptions for dry cleaning and solvent cleaning

operations, which are subject to other district rules. Wipe cleaning,

automated spray systems, aerosol products and cleaning of high

precision optics are exempted from specific provisions of this rule.

Standard VOC limits for solvents to perform cleaning

activities,'

Monitoring and record keeping section containing the

description of records that must be kept and a listing of test methods

to be used in determining compliance.

On February 26, 1996, EPA approved into the SIP a version of Rule

433--Organic Solvent Cleaning that had been adopted by MBUAPCD on June

15, 1994. MBUAPCD submitted Rule 433--Organic Solvent Cleaning includes

the following significant changes from the current SIP:

A revised applicability section with an added reference to

the National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP),

[[Page 15924]]

A revised rule effectiveness date which coincides with the

rule adoption date,

A reference to MBUAPCD Rule 101--Definitions, in lieu of a

detailed listing of exempt compounds, and

an added reference to EPA's Guidelines for Determining

Capture Efficiency, dated January 9, 1995.

On November 4, 1996, EPA approved into the SIP a version of Rule

1122--Solvent Degreasers that had been adopted by SCAQMD on April 5,

1991. SCAQMD submitted Rule 1122--Solvent Degreasers includes the

following significant changes from the current SIP:

The rule language was modified to eliminate ambiguities

between Rule 1122--Solvent Degreasers, and 1171--Solvent Cleaning

Operations,

The requirements covering remote reservoir cold cleaners

were removed from this rule to be regulated under Rule 1171,

Limits the VOC content of cleaning material for batch

loaded cold cleaners to 50 grams per liter, or less,

Augmented methods of controlling emissions from open top

vapor degreasers by adding the requirements of a superheated vapor

zone, and an automated parts handling system,

Added design requirements and control standards for Air-

tight and air-less cleaning systems,

Added and defined ``clean air solvent'' and describes how

to obtain clean air solvent certification, which, when displayed,

qualifies for an exemption from the requirements of this rule,

Exempts degreasing operations using halogenated solvents,

which are regulated under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart T (NESHAP), and

Requires monthly records to be kept in the format shown in

appendix A to this rule.

There is currently no version of SBCAPCD Rule 321--Solvent Cleaning

Operations in the SIP. The submitted Rule includes the following

provisions:

An applicability section,

Exempts cleaning operations employing solvents with 2% or

less VOC content, and cleaning operations using halogenated solvents

regulated under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart T (NESHAP).

Definitions of pertinent terms,

General and specific design and operating requirements

covering all types of solvent cleaning operation.

Test methods to be used to determine compliance with the

requirements of this rule, and

Record keeping requirements.

On August 4, 1994, EPA approved into the SIP a version of Rule

454--Degreasing Operations that had been adopted by SMAQMD on February

23, 1993. SMAQMD submitted Rule 454--Degreasing Operations includes the

following significant changes from the current SIP:

Added an exemption for cleaning solvents with VOC content

of 5% or less, by weight,

Exempts solvent cleaning operations using halogenated

solvents which fall under the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart T

(NESHAP), and

Referenced SMAQMD Rule 101--General Provisions and

Definitions in lieu of the detailed listing of exempt components.

On October 7, 1996, EPA approved into the SIP a version of Rule

410.3--Organic Solvent Degreasing Operations that had been adopted by

KNCAPCD on March 7, 1996. KNCAPCD submitted Rule 410.3--Organic Solvent

Degreasing Operations includes the following significant changes from

the current SIP:

Added the definition of ``low volatility solvents'' and

provided an exemption from the free-board height requirement, when

using this type of solvents, and

Added an exemption for degreasers using halogenated

solvents which must comply with the requirements of 40 CFR Part 63,

Subpart T (NESHAP).

EPA has evaluated the submitted rules and has determined that they

are consistent with the CAA, EPA regulations, and EPA policy.

Therefore, YSAQMD Rule 2.31--Surface Preparation and Cleanup, MBUAPCD

Rule 433--Organic Solvent Cleaning, SCAQMD Rule 1122--Solvent

Degreasers, SBCAPCD Rule 321--Solvent Cleaning Operations, SMAQMD Rule

454--Degreasing Operations, and KNCAPCD Rule 410.3--Organic Solvent

Cleaning Operations are being approved under section 110(k)(3) of the

CAA as meeting the requirements of section 110(a) and part D.

Nothing in this action should be construed as permitting or

allowing or establishing a precedent for any future implementation

plan. Each request for revision to the state implementation plan shall

be considered separately in light of specific technical, economic, and

environmental factors and in relation to relevant statutory and

regulatory requirements.

EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no

adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this

Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document

that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should

adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective June 1, 1999

without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by

May 3, 1999.

If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a timely

withdrawal of the direct final rule informing the public that the rule

will not take effect. All public comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The

EPA will not institute a second comment period on this rule. Any

parties interested in commenting on this rule should do so at this

time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this

rule will be effective on June 1, 1999 and no further action will be

taken on the proposed rule.

IV. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this

regulatory action from Executive Order (E.O.) 12866, entitled

``Regulatory Planning and Review.''

B. Executive Order 12875

Under Executive Order 12875, Enhancing the Intergovernmental

Partnership, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not required by

statute and that creates a mandate upon a state, local, or tribal

government, unless the Federal government provides the funds necessary

to pay the direct compliance costs incurred by those governments, or

EPA consults with those governments. If EPA complies by consulting,

Executive Order 12875 requires EPA to provide to the Office of

Management and Budget a description of the extent of EPA's prior

consultation with representatives of affected state, local, and tribal

governments, the nature of their concerns, copies of any written

communications from the governments, and a statement supporting the

need to issue the regulation. In addition, E.O. 12875 requires EPA to

develop an effective process permitting elected officials and other

representatives of state, local, and tribal governments ``to provide

meaningful and timely input in the development of regulatory proposals

containing significant unfunded mandates.''

Today's rule does not create a mandate on state, local or tribal

governments. The rule does not impose any enforceable duties on these

entities. Accordingly, the requirements of section 1(a) of E.O. 12875

do not apply to this rule.

[[Page 15925]]

C. Executive Order 13045

Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety

Risks (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), applies to any rule that: (1) is

determined to be ``economically significant'' as defined under E.O.

12866, and (2) concerns an environmental health or safety risk that EPA

has reason to believe may have a disproportionate effect on children.

If the regulatory action meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate

the environmental health or safety effects of the planned rule on

children, and explain why the planned regulation is preferable to other

potentially effective and reasonably feasible alternatives considered

by the Agency.

This rule is not subject to E.O. 13045 because it does not involve

decisions intended to mitigate environmental health or safety risks.

D. Executive Order 13084

Under Executive Order 13084, Consultation and Coordination with

Indian Tribal Governments, EPA may not issue a regulation that is not

required by statute, that significantly or uniquely affects the

communities of Indian tribal governments, and that imposes substantial

direct compliance costs on those communities, unless the Federal

government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct compliance

costs incurred by the tribal governments, or EPA consults with those

governments. If EPA complies by consulting, Executive Order 13084

requires EPA to provide to the Office of Management and Budget, in a

separately identified section of the preamble to the rule, a

description of the extent of EPA's prior consultation with

representatives of affected tribal governments, a summary of the nature

of their concerns, and a statement supporting the need to issue the

regulation. In addition, Executive Order 13084 requires EPA to develop

an effective process permitting elected and other representatives of

Indian tribal governments ``to provide meaningful and timely input in

the development of regulatory policies on matters that significantly or

uniquely affect their communities.''

Today's rule does not significantly or uniquely affect the

communities of Indian tribal governments. Accordingly, the requirements

of section 3(b) of E.O. 13084 do not apply to this rule.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency

to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to

notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency certifies

that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small

businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental

jurisdictions. This final rule will not have a significant impact on a

substantial number of small entities because SIP approvals under

section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the Clean Air Act do not create

any new requirements but simply approve requirements that the State is

already imposing. Therefore, because the Federal SIP approval does not

create any new requirements, I certify that this action will not have a

significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-State relationship under the

Clean Air Act, preparation of flexibility analysis would constitute

Federal inquiry into the economic reasonableness of state action. The

Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base its actions concerning SIPs on such

grounds. Union Electric Co., v. U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976);

42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

F. Unfunded Mandates

Under Section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

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

must prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or

final rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated

annual costs to State, local, or tribal governments in the aggregate;

or to private sector, of $100 million or more. Under Section 205, EPA

must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome alternative

that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent with

statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a plan

for informing and advising any small governments that may be

significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.

EPA has determined that the approval action promulgated does not

include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated annual costs of

$100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in

the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal action approves

pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new

requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or

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

G. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

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. EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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. This rule is not a

``major'' rule as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

H. Petitions for Judicial Review

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 June 1, 1999. Filing a

petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule

does not affect the finality of this rule 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).)
