SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background and Purpose

    Title V of the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (sections 501-507 of 
the Clean Air Act (the Act) and the implementing regulations at 40 Code 
of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 70 require that States develop and 
submit operating permits programs to EPA by November 15, 1993, and that 
EPA act to approve or disapprove each program within one year after 
receiving the submittal. If the State's submission is materially 
changed during the one-year review period, 40 CFR 70.4(e)(2) allows EPA 
to extend the review period for no more than one year following receipt 
of the additional materials. EPA received Florida's title V operating 
permit program submittal on November 16, 1993. The State provided EPA 
with additional materials in supplemental submittals dated July 8, 
1994, November 28, 1994, December 21, 1994, December 22, 1994, and 
January 11, 1995. Because the supplements materially changed the 
State's title V program submittal, EPA extended the one-year review 
period.
    EPA reviews state operating permit programs pursuant to section 502 
of the Act and the part 70 regulations, which together outline criteria 
for approval or disapproval. Where a program substantially, but not 
fully, meets the requirements of part 70, EPA may grant the program 
interim approval for a period of up to two years. If EPA has not fully 
approved a program by November 15, 1995, or by the end of an interim 
program, it must establish and implement a Federal operating permit 
program for that state.
    On June 21, 1995, EPA proposed interim approval of Florida's 
operating permit program. See 60 FR 32292. The June 21, 1995 notice 
also proposed approval of Florida's interim mechanism for implementing 
section 112(g) and for delegation of section 112 standards and programs 
that are unchanged from the Federal rules as promulgated. Public 
comment was solicited on these proposed actions. In this notice, EPA is 
responding to the comments received and taking final action to 
promulgate interim approval of Florida's operating permit program.

II. Final Action and Implications

A. Analysis of State Submission and Response to Public Comments

    On June 21, 1995, EPA proposed interim approval of Florida's title 
V operating permit program. See 60 FR 32292. The program elements 
discussed in the proposal notice are unchanged from the proposal notice 
and continue to substantially meet the requirements of title V and part 
70. For detailed information on EPA's analysis of Florida's program 
submittal, please refer to the Technical Support Document (TSD) 
contained in the docket at the address noted above.
    EPA received three letters during the 30-day public comment period 
held on the proposed interim approval of Florida's program. One 
respondent requested a 90-day extension of the public comment period 
based on the guidance memorandum entitled ``White Paper for Streamlined 
Development of Part 70 Permit Applications'' issued by EPA on July 10, 
1995. The respondent suggested that the White Paper memorandum provides 
more flexibility for insignificant activities than allowed for in part 
70 and in the proposal notice. EPA denied the extension request because 
the policies set forth in the White Paper memorandum are intended 
solely as guidance and do not change the current part 70 requirements.
    EPA received two comment letters on the proposed interim approval 
of Florida's program, one from an industry commenter and the other from 
the State. In response to the comments, several of the conditions for 
full program approval discussed in the proposal notice are being 
revised. The changes are discussed below along with the conditions for 
full approval that remain unchanged.

1. Definition of ``Major Source''

    Florida's definition of ``major source'' in the original program 
submittal (see Rule 62-213.200(19)(a), F.A.C.) implied that emissions 
of criteria pollutants from any oil or gas exploration or production 
well (with its associated equipment) and emissions from any pipeline 
compressor or pump station would not be aggregated with emissions of 
criteria pollutants from other similar units. Since Florida's 
definition of ``major source'' conflicted with the part 70 definition, 
revision of the State's definition was identified in the proposal 
notice as a condition of full program approval.
    In its comment letter, the State indicated that the definition of 
``major source'' in Rule 62-213.200(19)(a), F.A.C., has been amended to 
clarify that 

[[Page 49344]]
the non-aggregation in the described situations applies only to 
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Florida's amended rule became 
effective on April 18, 1995, and was submitted to EPA as a formal 
supplement to the title V operating permit program on August 4, 1995. 
Therefore, Florida has satisfied this condition for full program 
approval.

2. Timely Application for Permit Renewal

    The State's original program, in Rule 62-4.090, F.A.C., required 
renewal applications to be submitted 60 days prior to expiration of 
existing operating permits. This requirement conflicted with the 
requirement of 40 CFR 70.5(a)(1)(iii) and the State's timeframe did not 
ensure that a permit would not expire prior to renewal. Revision of 
Rule 62-4.090, F.A.C., to require submittal of permit renewal 
applications six months prior to expiration of existing title V permits 
was identified in the proposal notice as a condition of full program 
approval.
    In its comment letter, the State indicated that rulemaking has been 
completed to address the requirement in 40 CFR 70.5(a)(1)(iii) for 
submittal of renewal applications six months prior to the expiration of 
existing operating permits. The State's amended Rule 62-4.090, F.A.C., 
became effective on April 18, 1995 and was submitted to EPA as a formal 
supplement to the title V operating permit program on August 4, 1995. 
Therefore, Florida has satisfied this condition for full program 
approval.

3. Insignificant Activities Provisions

(a) Emissions Thresholds for Reporting
    Rule 62-213.420(3)(c), F.A.C., contains reporting requirements for 
the emissions of criteria pollutants at title V sources. The State has 
indicated that the emissions thresholds in Rule 62-213.420(3)(c)2., 
F.A.C., which trigger the reporting requirements are based on the 
presumption that the requirements need to be stringent enough to 
identify applicable requirements and to suffice for inventorying 
emissions to evaluate the impact on ambient air concentrations. 
However, the aggregate threshold of 50 tons per year (tpy) for carbon 
monoxide appears to be inconsistent with the State's objective. Since 
the aggregate threshold of 50 tpy must be met prior to the reporting of 
carbon monoxide in the permit application, the potential exists for 
carbon monoxide to be inappropriately excluded due to miscalculations.
    Therefore, as a condition of full program approval, the State must 
provide EPA with an acceptable justification for establishing an 
aggregate emissions threshold of 50 tpy for the triggering of the 
carbon monoxide reporting requirements. Otherwise, Florida must 
establish carbon monoxide emissions thresholds that are consistent with 
the State's emissions thresholds for particulates (PM-10), sulfur 
dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
    Rule 62-213.420(3)(c)3.b., F.A.C., provides for the reporting of 
HAPs when a title V source emits or has the potential to emit 8 tpy or 
more of any single HAP, or 20 tpy or more of any combination of HAPs. 
Once these thresholds have been met, emissions are identified and 
reported for each emissions unit with the potential to emit 1 tpy of 
any individual HAP. All fugitive emissions not associated with any 
specific emissions units are also reportable when such emissions exceed 
1 tpy of any individual HAP.
    Since insignificant emissions levels are reviewed relative to 
threshold levels for determining major source status, as well as levels 
at which applicable requirements are triggered, EPA requested in the 
proposal notice that Florida revise the reporting thresholds for HAPs 
emissions as a condition of full program approval. EPA suggested HAPs 
emissions thresholds of the lesser of 1000 lbs/year or section 112(g) 
de minimis levels.
    Two commenters responded to EPA's request for revision of the 
State's HAPs reporting thresholds. The industry commenter stated that 
the emissions thresholds requested by EPA contradict the White Paper 
guidance memorandum because the more stringent thresholds would require 
permit applicants to develop detailed tpy estimates when reporting HAP 
emissions or when classifying insignificant activities, even for 
sources identified as major and for emissions units that have no 
applicable requirements. The industry commenter emphasized that 
requiring detailed tpy emission estimates for emissions units that have 
no applicable requirements is contrary to the reporting guidelines 
presented in the White Paper memorandum. The State, in its comment 
letter, also expressed concern that making the HAPs reporting 
thresholds more stringent is contradictory to EPA's goal of 
streamlining and simplifying the permit application process.
    EPA would like to point out that, as a general matter, the 
flexibility explained in the White Paper memorandum is in addition to, 
and does not necessarily depend upon, a State's insignificant 
activities provisions. However, in the case of Florida's program, the 
State has established detailed reporting criteria which complicate this 
interaction and give some validity to industry's comments. On further 
reflection, EPA believes that it may have been overly prescriptive in 
requiring the State to revise its levels for emissions reporting, which 
appear to function separately from its insignificant activities 
provisions, and that an alternative pathway exists in this case for 
full program approval.
    Accordingly, EPA is revising the condition for full approval to 
require Florida to add language to the applicability provisions in Rule 
62-213.400, F.A.C., to ensure that (1) Applications do not omit 
information needed to determine or impose applicable requirements (as 
defined in Rule 62-213.200(6), F.A.C.); (2) insignificant activities or 
emissions units will not be exempted from the determination of whether 
a source is major; and (3) emissions thresholds for individual 
activities or units that are exempted will not exceed 5 tpy for 
regulated air pollutants, and the lesser of 1000 pounds per year or 
section 112(g) de minimis levels for HAPs or different thresholds that 
the State demonstrates are insignificant.
(b) Specific Exemptions
    Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., exempts specific facilities, emissions 
units, or pollutant-emitting activities from the title V permitting 
process. As a condition of full approval, the State must revise Rule 
62-210.300(3), F.A.C., to provide that (1) Applications do not omit 
information needed to determine or impose applicable requirements (as 
defined in Rule 62-213.200(6), F.A.C.); (2) insignificant activities or 
emissions units will not be exempted from the determination of whether 
a source is major; and (3) emissions thresholds for individual 
activities or units that are exempted will not exceed 5 tpy for 
regulated air pollutants, and the lesser of 1000 pounds per year or 
section 112(g) de minimis levels for HAPs or different thresholds that 
the State demonstrates are insignificant.
    In addition, several of the specific exemptions in Rule 62-
210.300(3), F.A.C., must either be removed from the rule or revised as 
a condition of full approval. Specifically, Rule 62-210.300(3)(a), 
F.A.C., exempts ``(s)team and hot water generating units located within 
a single facility and having a total heat input, individually or 
collectively, equaling 50 million BTU/hr or less, and fired exclusively 
by natural gas except for periods of natural gas curtailment during 
which fuel oil 

[[Page 49345]]
containing no more than one percent sulfur is fired * * * '' However, 
during the periods fuel oil is fired, these sources could potentially 
emit sulfur dioxide in excess of major source thresholds. Since the 
potential emissions from these sources would not be ``insignificant,'' 
this exemption must be removed from Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., as a 
condition of full approval.
    Rule 62-210.300(3)(r), F.A.C., exempts ``[p]erchloroethylene dry 
cleaning facilities with a solvent consumption of less than 1,475 
gallons per year.'' However, at the annual consumption rate of 1,475 
gallons of perchloroethylene, these facilities could potentially emit 
over 8 tpy of perchloroethylene. Since the potential HAPs emissions 
from these sources is not ``insignificant,'' this exemption must be 
removed from Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., as a condition of full 
approval.
    Rule 62-210.300(3)(u), F.A.C., exempts ``[e]mergency electrical 
generators, heating units, and general purpose diesel engines operating 
no more than 400 hours per year . . .'' These sources could potentially 
have emissions in excess of major source thresholds, depending on the 
fuel used and the unit's size. Since the potential emissions from these 
sources would not be ``insignificant,'' this exemption must be removed 
from Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., as a condition of full approval.
    Rule 62-210.300(3)(x), F.A.C., exempts ``[p]hosphogypsum disposal 
areas and cooling ponds.'' This exemption potentially includes 
phosphogypsum stacks, which emit radon and are subject to the 
radionuclide National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(NESHAPS) found in 40 CFR part 61, subpart R. Therefore, as a condition 
of full approval, this exemption must be revised to exclude 
phosphogypsum stacks.
(d) Case-by-Case Exemptions
    Rule 62-4.040(1)(b), F.A.C., allows Florida to determine 
insignificant activities on a case-by-case basis during the permitting 
process. As a condition of full approval, the State must revise Rule 
62-4.040(1)(b), F.A.C., to provide that (1) Applications do not omit 
information needed to determine or impose applicable requirements (as 
defined in Rule 62-213.200(6), F.A.C.); (2) insignificant activities or 
emissions units will not be exempted from the determination of whether 
a source is major; and (3) emissions thresholds for individual 
activities or units that are exempted will not exceed 5 tpy for 
regulated air pollutants, and the lesser of 1000 pounds per year or 
section 112(g) de minimis levels for HAPs or different thresholds that 
the State demonstrates are insignificant.

4. Permit Reopenings Provisions

    The regulations in the State's program do not provide for permit 
reopenings for cause consistent with 40 CFR 70.7(f)(1)(i), (iii), and 
(iv). As a condition of full program approval, the State must provide 
in its regulations that: (1) If a permit is reopened and revised 
because additional applicable requirements become applicable to a major 
source with a remaining permit term of 3 or more years, such a 
reopening shall be completed within 18 months after promulgation of the 
applicable requirement; (2) a permit shall be reopened and revised if 
EPA or the State determines that the permit contains a material mistake 
or that inaccurate statements were made in establishing the emissions 
standards or other terms or conditions of the permit; and (3) a permit 
shall be reopened if EPA or the State determine that the permit must be 
revised or revoked to assure compliance with the applicable 
requirements.

B. Final Action

1. Title V Operating Permit Program
    EPA is promulgating interim approval of the operating permit 
program submitted by the State of Florida on November 16, 1993, and 
supplemented on July 8, 1994, November 28, 1994, December 21, 1994, 
December 22, 1994, and January 11, 1995. The State must make the 
following changes to receive full program approval:
    (a) Provide EPA with an acceptable justification for establishing 
an aggregate emissions threshold of 50 tpy for the triggering of the 
carbon monoxide reporting requirements. Otherwise, Florida must 
establish carbon monoxide emissions thresholds that are consistent with 
the State's emissions thresholds for particulates (PM-10), sulfur 
dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.
    (b) Revise Rules 62-4.040(1)(b), 62-210.300(3), and 62-213.400, 
F.A.C., to provide that (1) Applications do not omit information needed 
to determine or impose applicable requirements (as defined in Rule 62-
213.200(6), F.A.C.); (2) insignificant activities or emissions units 
will not be exempted from the determination of whether a source is 
major; and (3) emissions thresholds for individual activities or units 
that are exempted will not exceed 5 tpy for regulated air pollutants, 
and the lesser of 1000 pounds per year or section 112(g) de minimis 
levels for HAPs or different thresholds that the State demonstrates are 
insignificant. In addition, as discussed above, several specific 
exemptions in Rule 62-210.300(3), F.A.C., must either be removed from 
the rule or revised.
    (c) Make regulatory provisions for permit reopenings for cause 
consistent with 40 CFR 70.7(f)(1)(i), (iii), and (iv).
    The scope of the State of Florida's part 70 program approved in 
this notice applies to all part 70 sources (as defined in the approved 
program) within the State, except any sources of air pollution over 
which an Indian Tribe has jurisdiction. See, e.g., 59 FR 55813, 55815-
18 (November 9, 1994). The term ``Indian Tribe'' is defined under the 
Act as ``any Indian tribe, band, nation, or other organized group or 
community, including any Alaska Native village, which is Federally 
recognized as eligible for the special programs and services provided 
by the United States to Indians because of their status as Indians.'' 
See section 302(r) of the CAA; see also 59 FR 43956, 43962 (August 25, 
1994); 58 FR 54364 (October 21, 1993).
    This interim approval, which may not be renewed, extends until 
October 25, 1997. During this interim approval period, the State of 
Florida is protected from sanctions, and EPA is not obligated to 
promulgate, administer, and enforce a Federal operating permits program 
in the State. Permits issued under a program with interim approval have 
full standing with respect to part 70, and the one-year time period for 
submittal of permit applications by subject sources begins upon the 
effective date of this final interim approval, as does the three-year 
time period for processing the initial permit applications.
    If the State of Florida fails to submit a complete corrective 
program for full approval by April 25, 1997, EPA will start an 18-month 
clock for mandatory sanctions. If Florida then fails to submit a 
corrective program that EPA finds complete before the expiration of 
that 18-month period, EPA will be required to apply one of the 
sanctions in section 179(b) of the Act, which will remain in effect 
until EPA determines that Florida has corrected the deficiency by 
submitting a complete corrective program. Moreover, if the 
Administrator finds a lack of good faith on the part of Florida, both 
sanctions under section 179(b) will apply after the expiration of the 
18-month period until the Administrator determines that Florida has 
come into compliance. In any case, if, six months after application of 
the first sanction, Florida still has not submitted a corrective 
program that EPA has found complete, a second sanction will be 
required. 

[[Page 49346]]

    If EPA disapproves Florida's complete corrective program, EPA will 
be required to apply one of the section 179(b) sanctions on the date 18 
months after the effective date of the disapproval, unless prior to 
that date the State has submitted a revised program and EPA has 
determined that it corrected the deficiencies that prompted the 
disapproval. Moreover, if the Administrator finds a lack of good faith 
on the part of the Florida, both sanctions under section 179(b) will 
apply after the expiration of the 18-month period until the 
Administrator determines that the State has come into compliance. In 
all cases, if, six months after EPA applies the first sanction, Florida 
has not submitted a revised program that EPA determines to have 
corrected the deficiencies that prompted disapproval, a second sanction 
will be required.
    In addition, discretionary sanctions may be applied where warranted 
any time after the expiration of an interim approval period if a state 
has not timely submitted a complete corrective program or EPA has 
disapproved a submitted corrective program. Moreover, if EPA has not 
granted full approval to a state program by the expiration of an 
interim approval and that expiration occurs after November 15, 1995, 
EPA must promulgate, administer, and enforce a Federal operating permit 
program for that state upon interim approval expiration.
2. Preconstruction Review Program Implementing Section 112(g)
    EPA issued an interpretive notice on February 14, 1995 (60 FR 
8333), which outlines EPA's revised interpretation of section 112(g) 
applicability. The notice postpones the effective date of section 
112(g) until after EPA has promulgated a rule addressing that 
provision. The notice sets forth in detail the rationale for the 
revised interpretation.
    The section 112(g) interpretative notice explains that EPA is 
considering whether the effective date of section 112(g) should be 
delayed beyond the date of promulgation of the Federal rule so as to 
allow states time to adopt rules implementing the Federal rule, and 
that EPA will provide for any such additional delay in the final 
section 112(g) rulemaking. Unless and until EPA provides for such an 
additional postponement of section 112(g), Florida must have a 
Federally enforceable mechanism for implementing section 112(g) during 
the period between promulgation of the Federal section 112(g) rule and 
adoption of implementing State regulations.
    EPA is aware that Florida lacks a program designed specifically to 
implement section 112(g). However, Florida does have a preconstruction 
review program that can serve as an adequate implementation vehicle 
during the transition period because it would allow the State to select 
control measures that would meet the maximum achievable control 
technology (MACT), as defined in section 112, and incorporate these 
measures into a Federally enforceable preconstruction permit.
    For this reason, EPA is approving the use of Florida's 
preconstruction review program found in Rule 62-212, F.A.C., under the 
authority of title V and part 70, solely for the purpose of 
implementing section 112(g) to the extent necessary during the 
transition period between section 112(g) promulgation and adoption of a 
State rule implementing EPA's section 112(g) regulations. Although 
section 112(l) generally provides authority for approval of state air 
programs to implement section 112(g), title V and section 112(g) 
provide for this limited approval because of the direct linkage between 
the implementation of section 112(g) and title V. The scope of this 
approval is narrowly limited to section 112(g) and does not confer or 
imply approval for purpose of any other provision under the Act (e.g., 
section 110). This approval will be without effect if EPA decides in 
the final section 112(g) rule that sources are not subject to the 
requirements of the rule until State regulations are adopted. The 
duration of this approval is limited to 18 months following 
promulgation by EPA of the section 112(g) rule to provide adequate time 
for the State to adopt regulations consistent with the Federal 
requirements.
3. Program for Delegation of Section 112 Standards as Promulgated
    The requirements for part 70 program approval, specified in 40 CFR 
70.4(b), encompass section 112(l)(5) requirements for approval of a 
state program for delegation of section 112 standards promulgated by 
EPA as they apply to title V sources. Section 112(l)(5) requires that 
the State's program contain adequate authorities, adequate resources 
for implementation, and an expeditious compliance schedule, which are 
also requirements under part 70. Therefore, EPA is also approving, 
under section 112(l)(5) and 40 CFR 63.91, Florida's program for 
receiving delegation of section 112 standards and programs that are 
unchanged from the Federal rules as promulgated. In addition, EPA is 
delegating all existing standards and programs under 40 CFR parts 61 
and 63. This program for delegations applies to part 70 sources and 
non-part 70 sources.1

    \1\ The radionuclide National Emission Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutant (NESHAP) is a section 112 regulation and therefore, 
also an applicable requirement under the State operating permits 
program for part 70 sources. There is not yet a Federal definition 
of ``major'' for radionuclide sources. Therefore, until a major 
source definition for radionuclide is promulgated, no source would 
be a major section 112 source solely due to its radionuclide 
emissions. However, a radionuclide source may, in the interim, be a 
major source under part 70 for another reason, thus requiring a part 
70 permit. EPA will work with the State in the development of its 
radionuclide program to ensure that permits are issued in a timely 
manner.

III. Administrative Requirements

A. Docket

    Copies of the State's submittal and other information relied upon 
for the final interim approval, including the three comment letters 
received and reviewed by EPA on the proposal notice, are contained in 
docket number FL-95-01 maintained at the EPA Region 4 office. The 
docket is an organized and complete file of all the information 
submitted to, or otherwise considered by, EPA in the development of 
this final interim approval. The docket is available for public 
inspection at the location listed under the ADDRESSES section of this 
document.

B. Executive Order 12866

    The Office of Management and Budget has exempted this action from 
Executive Order 12866 review.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    EPA's actions under section 502 of the Act do not create any new 
requirements, but simply address operating permit programs submitted to 
satisfy the requirements of 40 CFR part 70. Because this action does 
not impose any new requirements, it does not have a significant impact 
on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

    Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995, 
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 costs to State, local, or 
tribal governments in the aggregate, or to the 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 


[[Page 49347]]
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 proposed interim approval action 
promulgated today does not include a Federal 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. This Federal 
action approves pre-existing requirements under State or local law, and 
imposes no new Federal requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs 
to State, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, 
result from this action.
