ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 036-REC; FRL-7056-5]


Corrections to the California State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to delete various local rules from the 
California State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were incorporated into 
the SIP in error. These primarily include rules concerning local fees, 
enforcement authorities, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). EPA 
has determined that the continued presence of these rules in the SIP is 
potentially confusing and thus harmful to affected sources, local 
agencies and to EPA. The intended effect of this proposal is to delete 
these rules and make the SIP consistent with the Clean Air Act as 
amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act).

DATES: Any comments must arrive by October 15, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Mail comments to Andy Steckel, Rulemaking Office Chief (AIR-
4), Air Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region IX, 75

office during normal business hours. You may also see copies at the 
locations listed in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION under ``Public 
Inspection.''

I. Why Is EPA Proposing To Correct the SIP?

    The Clean Air Act was first enacted in 1970. In the 1970s and early 
1980s, thousands of state and local agency regulations were submitted 
to EPA for incorporation into the SIP in order to fulfill the new 
federal requirements. In many cases, states submitted entire regulatory 
air pollution programs, including many elements not required by the 
Act. Due to time and resource constraints, EPA's review of these 
submittals focussed primarily on the new substantive requirements and 
we approved many other elements into the SIP with minimal review.
    We now recognize that many of these elements were not appropriate 
for approval into the SIP. In general, these elements are appropriate 
for state and local agencies to adopt and implement, but it is not 
necessary or appropriate to make them federally enforceable by 
incorporating them into the applicable SIP. These include:
    A. Various local fee provisions that are not economic incentive 
programs and are not designed to replace or relax a SIP emission limit. 
While it is appropriate for local agencies to implement fee provisions, 
for example, to recover costs for issuing permits, it is generally not 
appropriate to make local fee collection federally enforceable.
    B. Various provisions describing local agency investigative or 
enforcement

[[Page 47605]]

authority such as some rules titled enforcement, authority to inspect, 
authority to arrest, violation notices, and orders for abatement. 
States may need to adopt such rules to demonstrate adequate enforcement 
authority under section 110(a)(2) of the Act, but they should not be 
approved into the applicable SIP to avoid potential conflict with EPA's 
independent authorities provided in sections 113, 114 and elsewhere.
    C. Local adoption of federal NSPS requirements either by reference 
or by adopting text identical or modified from the requirements found 
in 40 CFR part 60. Since EPA has independent authority to implement 40 
CFR part 60, it is not appropriate to make parallel local authorities 
federally enforceable by approving them into the applicable SIP.
    D. Local adoption of NESHAP requirements found in 40 CFR part 61 as 
similarly discussed regarding NSPS.

II. What Rules Are Proposed for Deletion?

    EPA has determined that the California rules listed in the tables 
below are inappropriate for inclusion in the SIP, but were previously 
approved into the SIP in error. Dates that these rules were submitted 
by the State and approved by EPA are provided. We are proposing 
deletion of these rules and any earlier versions of these rules from 
the individual air pollution control district portions of the 
California SIP under section section 110(k)(6) as inconsistent with the 
requirements of CAA section 110 and part D.

III. Proposed action, public comment and final action

    EPA has reviewed the rules listed in the tables above and 
determined that they were previously approved into the applicable 
California SIP in error. Deletion of these rules will not relax the 
applicable SIP and is consistent with the Act. Therefore, EPA is 
proposing to delete these rules under section 110(k)(6) of the Act, 
which provides EPA authority to remove these rules without additional 
State submission. We will accept comments from the public on this 
proposal for the next 30 days. Unless we receive convincing new 
information during the comment period, we intend to publish a final 
action that will delete these rules from the federally enforceable SIP.

IV. Administrative Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
proposed action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and 
therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and 
Budget. For this reason, this proposed action is also not subject to 
Executive Order 32111, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 
28355, May 22, 2001). This proposed action imposes no additional 
requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the 
Administrator certifies that this proposed rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because 
this proposed rule does not impose any additional enforceable duty 
beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded 
mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as 
described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-
4). This rule also does not have a substantial direct effect on one or 
more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government 
and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities 
between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it have 
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between 
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as 
specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), 
because it does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power 
and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This proposed 
rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 
23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
    In this proposed rule, EPA is not developing or adopting a 
technical standard. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the 
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) do not apply. As required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 
(61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996), in issuing this proposed rule, EPA has 
taken the necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, 
minimize potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for 
affected conduct. EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 
8859, March 15, 1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule 
in accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for 
the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued 
under the executive order. This proposed rule does not impose an 
information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
