AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to the 
Allegheny County portion of the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). EPA is approving a recodification of Allegheny County's air 
pollution control regulations, from Article XX to Article XXI. EPA is 
also approving revisions of Allegheny County's Article XXI regulations 
pertaining to general administrative provisions, emissions standards, 
emergency episode plans, test methods, and the permitting provisions 
for new and modified sources. At the same time, EPA is approving 
definitions associated with the Article XXI provisions. In addition, 
EPA is removing from the SIP outdated and outmoded Article XX 
provisions which are no longer codified in Article XXI. EPA is 
approving these revisions in accordance with the requirements of the 
Clean Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on January 13, 2003 without further 
notice, unless EPA receives adverse written comment by December 16,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 30, 1998, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania submitted a 
formal revision to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The SIP 
revision consists of the following:
    1. A recodification of the air pollution control regulations for 
the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD) from Article XX to 
Article XXI. These regulations pertain to general administrative 
provisions, emissions standards, emergency episode plans, test methods, 
and the permitting provisions for new and modified sources.
    2. New and revised general or administrative Provisions.
    3. Revised provisions governing reporting, testing, and monitoring.
    4. New and revised Permit provisions for new and modified sources.
    5. Revised provisions governing control of particulate matter (PM).
    6. Revised provisions governing control of sulfur dioxides 
(SO2).
    7. New and revised provisions governing control of Volatile Organic 
Compounds (VOC).
    8. New and revised provisions governing enforcement of the Article 
XXI requirements.
    The recodification consists of moving the SIP-approved air 
pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. Article 
XXI rules initially became effective on January 1, 1994. On June 12, 
1996 (61 FR 29664), EPA initially approved the structure of Article XXI 
as well as some definitions and regulations as part of the Allegheny 
County portion of the Pennsylvania SIP, and incorporated this article 
by the reference into the SIP at Sec.  52.2020(c)(92).

[[Page 68936]]

    The comprehensive restructuring of ACHD's air pollution control 
regulations from Article XX to Article XXI became effective October 20, 
1995. Pennsylvania provided documentation showing that ACHD held public 
hearings on all of the above-described revisions on September 6, 1995, 
in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102.

II. Summary of SIP Revision

    The Article XXI provisions which Pennsylvania submitted on behalf 
of Allegheny County in this action are summarized below. Many of these 
revisions consist of renumbering changes, or administrative changes, 
associated with the reorganization of Allegheny County's air pollution 
control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI. This Article also 
contains air pollution control regulations which historically have not 
been included in the Allegheny County SIP because they pertain to 
provisions not related to the control of the criteria pollutants 
regulated under the SIP. The Article XXI provisions being reviewed in 
this SIP revision action and the current SIP citations found in Article 
XX are summarized as follows:

    In addition, Pennsylvania has requested EPA to remove from the 
Allegheny County SIP certain Article XX provisions which are not being 
incorporated into Article XXI. Allegheny County has removed these 
provisions because they are outdated, outmoded, and remove references 
to sources which are permanently shut down. These provisions are:

III. Evaluation of SIP Revision

    In addition to the recodification of Allegheny County's air 
pollution control regulations from Article XX to Article XXI, and the 
removal of outdated and outmoded Article XX regualtions, Pennsylvania's 
October 30, 1998 SIP revision also contains several substantive changes 
to the new Article XXI regulations:
    1. They adopt regulations governing source categories of VOC 
emissions which are consistent with the emission limits and the scope 
of sources subject to the requirements of the SIP-approved Pennsylvania 
Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) rules (Air Resources, 
Chapter 129).
    2. They update the applicable new source review and permitting 
provisions.
    3. They add new provisions governing general Federal conformity 
procedures.
    4. They update the applicable test methods and air pollution 
episode provisions.
    5. They update the applicable general enforcement provisions, and 
remove compliance schedules whose final compliance dates have passed.
    EPA has evaluated the revisions to Article XXI submitted by 
Pennsylvania on behalf of ACHD, and has concluded that they are 
consistent with the current Pennsylvania SIP requirements. EPA has also 
determined that the Article XXI provisions conform with the applicable 
Federal statutory and regulatory requirements, strengthen Allegheny 
County's enforcement procedures, and will not adversely impact ambient 
air quality levels. Furthermore, EPA has determined that the removal of 
the Article XX provisions described in this action will not adversely 
impact ambient air quality levels or Federal enforceability. EPA's 
evaluation is summarized as follows:

Ozone

    Allegheny County has added several Article XXI regulations 
governing source categories which are currently controlled under the 
comparable SIP-approved VOC regulations found in Chapter 129 of the 
PADEP air pollution control regulations. These categories are wood 
cabinet and furniture coating, gasoline dispensing facilities (Stage II 
vapor recovery), petroleum refineries, pharmaceutical products, and 
manufacture of pneumatic rubber tires. EPA has reviewed the Article XXI 
VOC regulations, and has concluded that they are consistent with the 
requirements in terms of emissions limits and scope of sources subject 
to the comparable Chapter 129 rules. Allegheny County has also amended 
the regulation applicable to synthetic organic chemical and polymer 
manufacturing--fugitive sources which provides that any alternative 
control plan must first be approved by EPA before it becomes County-
enforceable. Allegheny County has also removed the ambient air quality 
standard for hydrocarbons, which EPA determines to be consistent with 
the removal of the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) for 
hydrocarbons from 40 CFR part 50.

Particulate Matter

    The PM control measures included in this action update the 
emergency episode plans, and make negligible

[[Page 68939]]

changes to the overall control strategy by adding open land to the list 
of premises subject to 2105.40. These revisions also remove references 
to Shenango, Incorporated--Neville Island's Blast Furnaces A and B. 
Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that these 
sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current emissions 
inventory.

Sulfur Dioxide

    The SO2 control measures included in this action update 
the emergency episode plans. The revisions also remove references to 
sources which have permanently shut down, such as the open hearth 
furnaces and Carrie Furnace Boilers 3 and 4 at the 
United States Steel Corporation's Homestead Works. This revision also 
removes the coke oven gas requirement which had applied to the 
Shenango, Incorporated--Neville Island's Coke Oven Battery 4 
Facility. Allegheny County states in this SIP revision submittal that 
these sources no longer exist, and are not carried by the current 
emissions inventory.

Lead

    EPA is approving the addition of Allegheny County's ambient air 
quality standard for lead (1.5 micrograms per cubic meter, averaged 
over a 3-month period) to the chart found in Section 2101.09. EPA has 
determined that this standard is consistent with the NAAQS for lead 
found in 40 CFR 50.12.

General Administration and Enforcement

    With regard to Allegheny County's general administration and 
enforcement provisions, this SIP revision consists of removing outdated 
and outmoded provisions, recodifying the existing SIP-approved 
provisions from Article XX to Article XXI, reorganizing these 
provisions within the structure of Article XXI, and updating the test 
methods and compliance determination provisions. In addition, Allegheny 
County's Article XXI rules strengthen the provisions related to 
confidentiality of emissions data, notification of breakdowns, and 
permit appeals.

New Source Review and Permitting

    Allegheny County has recodified its permitting requirements from 
Article XX, Chapter VIII to the following Parts in Article XXI: Part B 
(Permits Generally), Part C (Operating Permits), and Part A, Section 
2101.20 (Definitions). In addition, Allegheny County has submitted many 
new and revised permitting and new source review provisions to the 
aforementioned Article XXI provisions when compared to the SIP-approved 
Article XX, Chapter VIII provisions. EPA has determined that Allegheny 
County has adopted these revisions in order to both conform with the 
revised new source review and permitting requirements of the 1990 Clean 
Air Act, as amended and conform with similar revised requirements 
adopted by the PADEP and approved by EPA as revisions to the 
Pennsylvania SIP.

General Conformity

    Allegheny County has added Regulation 2109.20 (General Federal 
Conformity) to Article XXI. This new regulation, which applies to 
departments, agencies or instrumentalities of the Federal government, 
as well as related activities supported, financially assisted, 
licensed, permitted, or approved by the Federal government, 
incorporates by reference both the regulations promulgated by EPA in 40 
CFR part 51, subpart W and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's 
regulations set forth at 25 Pa. Code Chapter 127.

IV. Final Action

    Based on EPA's evaluation, EPA is approving the October 30, 1998 
revisions to Allegheny County Articles XX and XXI described in this 
action as a revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. The incorporation of 
Article XXI into the SIP allow the citations of Federally enforceable 
SIP regulations to be consistent with the current Allegheny County 
regulations. At the same time, EPA is approving the removal from the 
Allegheny County SIP of Article XX, Regulations 304, 306.B., 512, 902, 
903, and the definitions of Regulation 101 listed earlier in this 
document.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates no 
adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's 
Federal Register, EPA is publishing a separate document that will serve 
as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are 
filed. This rule will be effective on January 13, 2003 without further 
notice unless EPA receives adverse comment by December 16, 2002. If EPA 
receives adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take 
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an 
amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may 
be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those 
provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

V. Administrative Requirements

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
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 action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, 
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action 
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes 
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this 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 rule approves pre-existing requirements under state law and 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 (Pub. L. 104-4). This rule also does not 
have tribal implications because it will 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). 
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does 
not 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). 
This action merely approves a state rule implementing a Federal 
standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of 
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. This rule 
also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection of Children 
from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 
23, 1997),

[[Page 68940]]

because it is not economically significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In 
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
State to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP 
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise 
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. 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. This 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.).

B. 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).

C. 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 January 13, 2003. 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 regarding revisions to Allegheny County 
Articles XX and XXI may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
