I. Rule Recodification

A. Description of Submittal

    On November 5, 1999, ODEQ submitted a complete rule renumbering to 
EPA for approval into the SIP. The rules are renumbered and re-labeled 
to more accurately describe their content, and non-applicable and 
duplicative rules are repealed to eliminate conflicts and purge 
outdated requirements. These rule changes are non-substantive. The 
following Divisions were submitted as part of the rule renumbering, 
with an effective date under State law of October 14, 1999: 200 
(General Air Pollution Procedures and Definitions), 202 (Ambient Air 
Quality Standards and PSD Increments), 204 (Designation of Air Quality 
Areas), 206 (Air Pollution Emergencies), 208 (Visible Emissions and 
Nuisance Requirements), 210 (Stationary Source Notification 
Requirements), 212 (Stationary Source Testing and Monitoring), 214

[[Page 2892]]

(Stationary Source Reporting Requirements), 216 (Air Contaminant 
Discharge Permits), 218 (Oregon Title V Operating Permits), 222 
(Stationary Source Plant Site Emission Limits), 224 (Major New Source 
Review), 225 (Air Quality Analysis Requirements), 226 (General Emission 
Standards), 228 (Requirements for Fuel Burning Equipment and Fuel 
Sulfur Content), 232 (Emission Standards for VOC Point Sources), 234 
(Emission Standards for Wood Products Industries), 236 (Emission 
Standards for Specific Industries), 240 (Rules for Areas with Unique 
Air Quality Needs), 242 (Rules Applicable to the Portland Area), 250 
(General Conformity), 252 (Transportation Conformity), 256 (Motor 
Vehicles), 258 (Motor Vehicle Fuel Specifications), 262 (Residential 
Woodheating), 264 (Rules for Open Burning), 266 (Field Burning Rules 
(Willamette Valley)), and 268 (Emission Reduction Credits). Cross-
reference tables for the old and new division numbers are available in 
the docket for this action.

B. Summary of Action

    We are approving the recodified version of Oregon's rules to 
replace the old divisions in the current SIP. ODEQ submitted revised 
versions of Divisions 200, 202, 204, 210, 212, 214, 216, 222, 224, 226, 
240, and 268 on June 26, 2001. The approval of these sections is 
discussed in section III below. In addition, in the process of 
reviewing the recodification submittal against the current SIP, some 
past errors were discovered. We are correcting these errors in this 
action, and they are described below, along with the exceptions to our 
approval of the recodification submittal.
Division 208, Visible Emissions and Nuisance Requirements; Division 
256, Motor Vehicles; and Division 264, Rules for Open Burning (New 
Division Numbers)
    We are not acting on Division 208 (Visible Emissions and Nuisance 
Requirements), Division 256 (Motor Vehicles), and Division 264 (Rules 
for Open Burning) in this action. These divisions have been 
subsequently revised by ODEQ and were submitted to EPA for approval on 
March 13, 2001 (Division 208), September 21, 2000 (Division 256), 
December 1, 2000 (Division 256), and June 26, 2000 (Division 264). We 
will be acting on Divisions 208, 256, and 264 in a separate rulemaking.
Division 218, Oregon Title V Operating Permits
    We are taking no action on Division 218, Oregon title V Operating 
Permits, because Federal Operating Permit (title V) programs and rules 
are reviewed and approved by EPA through the title V approval process, 
which is independent of the SIP approval process.
Division 21, General Emission Standards for Particulate Matter (Old 
Division Number)
    On May 13, 1998 (63 FR 26460), EPA approved the removal of section 
21-025, Refuse Burning Equipment Limitations, which had been repealed 
by ODEQ in 1996. In 1999, this section was mistakenly re-approved back 
into the SIP. We are removing section 21-025 from the SIP in this 
action. Sections 21-015, 21-050, 21-055, and 21-060, Visible Air 
Contaminant Limitations and Fugitive Emissions, will not be removed 
from the SIP. These sections were renumbered to Division 208, which, as 
discussed above, will be acted on in a separate rulemaking. Sections 
21-200 through 21-245, Industrial Contingency Requirements for PM-10 
Nonattainment Areas, will also remain in the SIP at this time. These 
sections were repealed by ODEQ in 1998 and ODEQ submitted a PM-10 
revocation package requesting the removal of these sections from the 
SIP. These sections will be acted on in a separate rulemaking.
Division 22, General Gaseous Emissions (Old Division Number)
    In 1997, EPA approved section 22-108, Applicability of Alternative 
Control Systems, into the SIP. This approval was done in error as ODEQ 
repealed this rule in 1983. Therefore, we are removing section 22-108 
from the SIP in this action.
Division 31, Ambient Air Quality Standards (Old Division Number)
    We are removing section 31-035, Hydrocarbons, from the SIP. ODEQ 
repealed this outdated section in 1998. In 1978, EPA revoked the 
hydrocarbons standard from 40 CFR 50 and changed the precursor for 
ozone from hydrocarbons to volatile organic compounds (VOC). Therefore, 
a hydrocarbons standard is no longer necessary.
Division 232, Emission Standards for VOC Point Sources
    40 CFR 52.1985 describes the conditions of our past approvals of 
ODEQ's VOC regulations. We are removing 40 CFR 52.1985 because the 
version of Division 232 that we are approving in this action satisfies 
these conditions.
Division 234, Emission Standards for Wood Products Industries (New 
Division Number)
    We are not acting on references to total reduced sulfur (TRS) in 
this division because control of TRS is not appropriate for inclusion 
in the SIP because it is not a criteria pollutant.
Division 236, Emission Standards for Specific Industries (New Division 
Number)
    We are approving this division, with the exception of references to 
Fluorides because control of Fluorides is not appropriate for inclusion 
in the SIP because it is not a criteria pollutant.
Division 250, General Conformity (New Division Number)
    On September 27, 1995, ODEQ submitted a complete package of General 
Conformity rules (Division 20) to EPA for approval into the SIP. On 
October 8, 1998, ODEQ submitted further revisions to their General 
Conformity rules. This 1998 submittal only contained the sections that 
were revised. The 1998 submittal was approved in a Federal Register 
document on March 22, 2000 (65 FR 15244). The sections that were not 
revised in 1998 (20-1500, 20-1540, 20-1550, and 20-1560), however, were 
never approved as part of the SIP. The entire package of General 
Conformity rules was submitted in the recodification package in 1999, 
where Division 20 was renumbered to Division 250. The previously 
unapproved sections comply with the Federal rules under 40 CFR part 51, 
subpart W, so therefore we are now approving all sections of ODEQ's 
General Conformity rules, under the new Division 250. However, we are 
taking no action on section 250-0110, Savings Provision, which 
describes how the Federal and State rules work together, because it is 
not needed in the SIP.
Division 252, Transportation Conformity (New Division Number)
    On March 22, 2000 (65 FR 15244), EPA approved ODEQ's Transportation 
Conformity rules into the SIP. We are approving the new rule numbers 
for the Transportation Conformity rules with the same exceptions as the 
original approval in 2000. In the March 22, 2000, Federal Register 
document there was a typographical error regarding an exception in the 
Incorporation by Reference (IBR). The exception should refer to section 
750(5)(b) rather than

[[Page 2893]]

750(4)(b). We are correcting this error in this action.

II. Emission Standards for VOC Point Sources--Marine Vapor Loading

A. Description of Submittal

    EPA redesignated the Portland area as attainment for ozone and 
approved a maintenance plan for the area on May 19, 1997 (62 FR 27204). 
The plan relied on reductions from a cross-Cascades pipeline that would 
have provided a cost effective alternative to barging gasoline to fuel 
terminals east of the mountains. In July 1999, planning for the 
pipeline was halted following an explosion from a pipeline rupture in 
Bellingham. The maintenance plan states that if the pipeline is not 
constructed, ODEQ will propose alternate control measures. In 
fulfilment of that commitment, ODEQ submitted a revision to the SIP on 
March 13, 2000, which included a Marine Vapor Loading rule, OAR 340-
232-0110, and changes to definitions in OAR 340-232-0030. These 
revisions were adopted by Oregon's Environmental Quality Commission 
(EQC) on February 11, 2000, and became effective as a matter of State 
law on June 1, 2001.
    OAR 340-232-0110 requires all bulk gas terminals in the Portland 
ozone air quality maintenance area to use pollution control equipment 
when loading gasoline onto river barges. If the previous load in the 
barge was gasoline, then vapor control is required when loading any 
subsequent petroleum product. Ship-to-ship transfers, known as 
``lightering,'' are now required to be conducted with vapor control if 
either vessel is berthed at a terminal dock. Mid-river lightering 
transfers do not require vapor control but are prohibited on ``Clean 
Air Action Days''. The ``Clean Air Action Days'' program is outlined 
and described within ODEQ's Air Quality Public Education and Incentive 
Program that was reviewed previously by EPA as part of Oregon's SIP. 
The revisions to OAR 340-232-0030 include adding definitions for gas 
freed, lightering, loading event, marine tank vessel, marine terminal, 
marine vessel, and vapor tight.

B. Summary of Action

    ODEQ submitted information showing that the emission reductions 
that will be achieved by its newly adopted marine vapor loading 
provisions are equivalent to those that would have resulted from the 
cross-Cascades pipeline. Section 183(f) of the 1990 Clean Air Act 
Amendments authorizes States to adopt standards that regulate emissions 
from marine vessels. Accordingly, we are approving this submittal (OAR 
340-232-0030 and OAR 340-232-0110).

III. Permitting Rules

A. Description of Submittals

    On June 26, 2001, the Director of the ODEQ submitted 17 Divisions 
of the Oregon Administrative Rules as revisions to the Oregon SIP. The 
submittal includes amendments to the following Divisions, effective 
July 1, 2001: 12 (Enforcement Procedure and Civil Penalties), 200 
(General Air Pollution Procedures and Definitions), 202 (Ambient Air 
Quality Standards and PSD Increments), 204 (Designation of Air Quality 
Areas), 210 (Stationary Source Notification Requirements), 212 
(Stationary Source Testing and Monitoring), 214 (Stationary Source 
Reporting Requirements), 216 (Air Contaminant Discharge Permits), 222 
(Stationary Source Plant Site Emission Limits), 224 (Major New Source 
Review), 226 (General Emission Standards), 240 (Rules for Areas with 
Unique Air Quality Needs), and 268 (Emission Reduction Credits); new 
Divisions 209 (Public Participation) and 225 (Air Quality Analysis 
Requirements); and the revocation of Division 14 (Procedures for 
Issuance, Denial, Modification, and Revocation of Permits). A 
comprehensive summary of the rule changes, including rule-by-rule 
descriptions, is included in the SIP submittal (Attachment 3.3).
    On November 4, 2002, the Director of the ODEQ submitted the PM-10 
maintenance plans for the Grants Pass and Klamath Falls nonattainment 
areas. This submittal included revisions to Divisions 204-0030 
(Designation of Nonattainment Areas), 204-0040 (Designation of 
Maintenance Areas), 222-041 (Source Specific Annual PSEL), 224-0060 
(Requirements for Sources in Maintenance Areas), 224-0070 (Prevention 
of Significant Deterioration Requirements for Sources in Attainment or 
Unclassified Areas), 225-0020 (Definitions), 225-0050 (Requirements for 
Analysis in PSD Class II and Class III Areas), 225-0060 (Requirements 
for Demonstrating Compliance with Standards and Increments in PSD Class 
I Areas), and 225-0090 (Requirements for Demonstrating a Net Air 
Quality Benefit) and a new section 225-0045 (Requirements for Analysis 
in Maintenance Areas), effective October 8, 2002. These Divisions were 
revised as part of the maintenance plan efforts, and sections 225-
0020(10) and 225-0090 (1)(c) were further revised as part of a 
temporary rulemaking to change the applicability date for the new ozone 
precursor significant impact distance from January 1, 2003, to January 
1, 2004. This temporary rulemaking is effective from October 8, 2002, 
through April 6, 2003. EPA will be acting on the maintenance plans and 
redesignation requests (including sections 204-0030 and 204-0040) in a 
separate rulemaking.

B. Background

    The current ODEQ new source review (NSR) program and Federally-
enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) program were developed in 
1981 and approved by EPA on August 13, 1982 (47 FR 35191). Although 
there have been a number of minor revisions to Oregon's permitting 
rules over the years, there had been no comprehensive review or 
revision of the rules. Over the years, ODEQ, EPA, industry, and others 
identified a number of concerns with the rules that were usually 
addressed through ODEQ internal implementation guidance rather than 
through rulemaking. However in 1998, ODEQ decided to undertake a 
comprehensive review of its existing permitting rules.
    A workgroup of representatives from ODEQ and the Lane Regional Air 
Pollution Authority, with input from EPA, identified permitting rule 
problems and recommended solutions, building on recommendations of the 
Oregon Industrial Source Advisory Committee in 1994-1995 and an air 
quality process improvement team in 1998. An extensive list of rule 
changes was suggested by the workgroup and then reviewed and critiqued 
by ODEQ permit writers, inspectors, and management to develop final 
recommendations.ODEQ's final recommendations were discussed in detail 
with industrial source and environmental representatives during a 
variety of workgroup and roundtable meetings. In addition, the 
recommendations were presented and discussed with permitted sources, 
source representatives, and the public at several locations in Oregon 
prior to publication of the proposed rules for public comment.
    The rulemaking package finally adopted by ODEQ and submitted to EPA 
as a SIP revision includes numerous changes to several different 
permitting programs--minor NSR, PSD, part D (nonattainment area) NSR, 
visibility permitting, state operating permits, emissions trading, and 
other permit-related rules. The changes were intended to clarify and 
update Oregon's existing permitting rules and to provide additional 
tools to streamline the permitting and planning process, while 
obtaining the same air quality benefits

[[Page 2894]]

as the existing rules. The changes include:
    (1) Simpler permitting procedures;
    (2) Greater use of general permits;
    (3) Less need for permit revisions;
    (4) Simpler emission trading options;
    (5) Improved construction approval procedures;
    (6) Better targeted public involvement;
    (7) Simpler fees and billing; and
    (8) Clearer applications and other requirements.
    EPA has reviewed the amendments to the ODEQ rules and has 
determined that they meet EPA's requirements under sections 110, part C 
and part D of title 1 of the Clean Air Act. EPA is therefore approving 
them as revisions to the Oregon SIP.

C. Key Changes to Oregon's SIP

    The docket includes a technical support document which describes in 
more detail the substantive changes to the Oregon rules that have been 
submitted by Oregon as revisions to the SIP, EPA's evaluation of the 
changes, and the basis for EPA's action. A summary of the key changes 
to Oregon's rules and EPA's proposed action follows:
1. Division 200 General Air Pollution Procedures and Definitions
    This Division contains ODEQ's general air quality definitions 
(section 0020), a list of abbreviations and acronyms (section 0025), 
general exceptions (section 0030), provisions for adopting and 
submitting the Oregon SIP (section 0040), provisions for compliance 
schedules (section 0050), and rules for conflicts of interest and 
makeup of boards (sections 0100 to 0120).
    EPA is taking no action on section 0040 State of Oregon Clean Air 
Act Implementation Plan because this section describes the State's 
procedures for adopting its SIP and incorporates by reference all of 
the revisions adopted by the EQC for approval into the Oregon SIP (as a 
matter of state law). This is not what is actually approved by EPA as 
the Federally-enforceable SIP for Oregon, so we are therefore taking no 
action on it. Previously, section 0040 had been approved by EPA into 
the SIP in error, and we are correcting that error in this action. EPA 
is taking no action on section 0050 Compliance Schedules because any 
compliance schedule established by Oregon under this provision must be 
submitted to, and approved by, EPA before it will be Federally 
enforceable or change the requirements of the EPA-approved SIP (see 40 
CFR 51.260 and 40 CFR 51.102(a)(2) and (c)). We reviewed sections 200-
0100, 200-0110, and 200-0120 which cover conflicts of interest and 
found them to meet the requirements of section 128 of the CAA. These 
provisions will not be incorporated by reference, however.
    A few new or revised definitions merit discussion:
    Adjacent--This definition was added to clarify that facilities that 
are located near each other and which are interdependent will be 
considered to be adjacent for purposes of the definition of the term 
``source.''
    Federal major source--This new definition defines the size of major 
stationary sources (as that term is defined in the ODEQ rules) that 
will be subject to certain provisions of the ODEQ permit rules. The 
size thresholds used to define this term are the same as those in EPA's 
PSD rules (40 CFR 51.166(a)(1), specifically, the 100 ton per year and 
250 ton per year thresholds.
    Generic PSEL--This new definition establishes the annual (12-month 
rolling average) emission limits that will be included in general 
ACDP's and other permits for pollutants that are emitted in less than 
significant emission rates. Generic PSEL's will limit the potential to 
emit of any pollutant to less than the Oregon major source thresholds.
    Major modification--This definition was revised to better implement 
the ODEQ accumulation approach to determining when a major modification 
will occur. It also clarifies when increases in emissions that do not 
result from physical or operational changes are not considered to be 
modifications and are regulated under the PSEL rule.
    Modification--This new definition was added to define the term 
modification for the minor source construction permitting program. The 
definition is essentially the same as EPA's definition of the term 
``modification'' in 40 CFR part 60 (i.e., the NSPS definition).
    Netting basis--This new definition was added to better implement 
the ODEQ definition of ``major modification.'' It defines both the 
baseline emissions from which increases are measured to determine if 
changes are subject to review, as well as the process for re-
establishing the baseline after changes have been through the major 
source permitting process.
    Significant emission rate--This definition was revised to delete 
the hazardous air pollutants from table 2; to clarify that for 
pollutants not listed in table 2, the significant emission rate is zero 
unless ODEQ has established a rate for that pollutant; and to revise 
table 3 so that the lower significant emission rates apply only to the 
Medford-Ashland AirQuality Maintenance Area and not to the Klamath 
Falls Urban Growth Area and the Lakeview PM-10 Nonattainment Area.
    Unassigned emissions--This new definition defines how the quantity 
of unassigned emissions is to be determined for purposes of the Plant 
Site Emission Limit rule.
2. Division 204 Designation of Air Quality Areas
    This Division identifies the carbon monoxide, particulate matter 
(PM-10) and ozone nonattainment areas in the State of Oregon. The 
Division was amended to reinstate the nonattainment designation for the 
Salem Nonattainment Area for Ozone as a result of the reinstatement of 
EPA's one-hour ozone standard.
3. Division 209 Public Participation
    This is a new Division that contains all of the public 
participation procedures and requirements for issuing permits that used 
to be contained in Divisions 14, 216, 218, and 224. It establishes 
public participation procedures for four categories of permit actions. 
The permitting program rules assign permit actions to the appropriate 
public participation procedures established in this Division. The four 
categories of permit actions and associated procedures are:
    Category I--changes that are not environmentally significant and do 
not involve choices made by ODEQ (e.g., facility name change). These 
actions require no prior public notice, but a list of permit actions 
will periodically be made available for public review after the changes 
have been made.
    Category II--changes that have the potential for low to medium 
environmental and public health significance (e.g., renewing a simple 
permit). These actions will require a 30-day public notice period, but 
not a public hearing.
    Category III--changes that have the potential for medium to high 
environmental and public health significance (e.g., increasing the 
plant site emission limit). These actions will require a 35-day public 
notice period and a hearing if requested. A hearing can also be pre-
scheduled by ODEQ.
    Category IV--changes that have the potential for high environmental 
and public health significance (e.g., siting a new major facility). 
These actions will require a public notice when the application is 
submitted and an informational meeting prior to drafting

[[Page 2895]]

a proposed permit. Once the proposed permit is drafted, a 40-day public 
notice period and a public hearing will be required.
    If a permitting action is not specifically assigned to a category, 
then it will be processed under Category III.
    EPA has reviewed these public participation procedures, and the 
assignment of permit actions in each of the separate permitting rules, 
and finds them to be consistent with the EPA requirements for public 
participation set forth in 40 CFR 51.161 for minor source permits to 
construct and nonattainment area (part D) NSR, 40 CFR 51.166(q) for PSD 
permits, the June 28, 1989, Federal Register (54 FR 27274) for 
Federally-enforceable State operating permits, and the December 4, 
1986, Federal Register (51 FR 43814) for generic bubble rules.
4. Division 210 Stationary Source Notification Requirements
    This Division contains a registration program for sources not 
subject to one of the Oregon operating permit programs (air contaminant 
discharge permit or title V operating permit programs) and also 
contains ODEQ's ``minor source'' preconstruction permitting program, 
titled ``Notice of Construction and Approval of Plans.'' The existing 
notice of construction and approval of plans provisions have been 
repealed and replaced with provisions intended to improve the 
effectiveness of the program. The new provisions also include the 
``Notice of Approval'' provisions originally located within Oregon's 
title V operating permit rules.
    The notice of construction requirements apply to all stationary 
sources and air pollution control equipment except those that are 
specifically exempted in the rules. These exemptions include:
    (1) Equipment used in agricultural operations and the growing or 
harvesting of crops or the raising of fowls and animals;
    (2) Agricultural land clearing operations or land grading;
    (3) Residential heating for dwellings for four families or less;
    (4) Other residential activities at dwellings for four families or 
less; and
    (5) Categorically insignificant activities.
    The rules require that no person can construct a new stationary 
source, modify an existing stationary source, or construct or modify 
air pollution control equipment without first notifying the ODEQ. It is 
important to note that the definitions of ``stationary source'' and 
``modification'' that apply in this program are essentially the same as 
EPA's definitions of these terms in 40 CFR part 60 (New Source 
Performance Standards).
    The rules classify construction and modification into four types--
Type 1 which are changes that are truly de minimis; Type 2 which are 
changes that are more than de minimis, but less than significant; Type 
3 which are changes that are significant, but not new major sources or 
major modifications; and Type 4 which are changes that are significant 
and may be new major sources or major modifications.
    The rules require Type 1 and 2 changes to provide a notice to ODEQ 
before constructing or modifying a stationary source or air pollution 
control equipment. Type 3 or 4 changes must submit an application for 
either a construction ACDP, new ACDP, or modified ACDP as appropriate. 
It is important to note that the rules include a provision that waives 
the notice and application requirements for changes that are pre-
approved (i.e., changes that have already been approved in accordance 
with the provisions of this Division and/or Division 224 New Source 
Review) in an ACDP or title V operating permit.
    Type 1 changes may begin construction or modification 10 days after 
the ODEQ receives the notice unless the ODEQ notifies the owner or 
operator that the change is not a Type 1 change. Type 2 changes may 
begin construction or modification 60 days after the ODEQ receives the 
notice or the date that ODEQ approves the change in writing, whichever 
is sooner. Type 3 changes must obtain either a construction ACDP or a 
new or modified standard ACDP before proceeding with construction or 
modification. Type 4 changes must obtain a new or modified standard 
ACDP before proceeding with construction or modification. Type 4 
changes may also be subject to the major source ``New Source Review'' 
rules (OAR 340 Division 224).
    The rules include a requirement for the owner or operator to notify 
ODEQ that construction or modification has been completed within 30 
days and on a form furnished by ODEQ. This requirement can be changed, 
however, in the construction permit or approval to allow for a 
different time period or reporting format. ODEQ can also issue an order 
prohibiting the construction or modification if it finds that it is not 
in accordance with applicable requirements.
    Finally, the rules state that the approval to construct does not 
provide approval to operate unless otherwise allowed by either the ACDP 
or title V operating permit rules. Depending upon the type of change 
and the permit status of the source, a new or modified ACDP or a 
modified title V permit may be needed before the change can be 
operated. Changes at title V operating permit sources are governed by 
Oregon's title V operating permit program rules (OAR 340-218-0190(2)).
    Although this new rule is structured quite differently from 
Oregon's previous program, with one exception, it requires approval 
prior to construction or modification for the same universe of 
stationary sources as does the current SIP-approved program. The new 
rule now exempts categorically insignificant activities from the minor 
source construction program. Oregon's list of categorically 
insignificant activities was adopted initially as part of its title V 
operating permits program and was approved by EPA as meeting the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 70. Oregon's list of categorically 
insignificant activities is limited to activities that have only 
trivial emissions or activities that are not appropriate for regulating 
under a construction permit program (e.g., accidental fires, motor 
vehicles). EPA has determined that the Oregon rules for ``Notice of 
Construction and Approval of Plans'' comply with EPA's requirements for 
minor new source review programs at 40 CFR 51.160 through 51.164.
5. Division 212, Stationary Source Testing and Monitoring
    This Division contains ODEQ's provisions for emission testing and 
monitoring, including Oregon's rules for ``Compliance Assurance 
Monitoring.'' The division also contains ODEQ's provisions regulating 
the use of stack heights and dispersion techniques to comply with 
ambient standards. The Division was amended by relocating section 0160 
Records; Maintaining and Reporting to Division 214. Numerous editorial 
changes and corrections to citations were made throughout. Oregon has 
adopted it's own rules for implementing EPA's Compliance Assurance 
Monitoring regulations and has submitted them for inclusion in the SIP. 
Because EPA's regulations are nationally applicable, both Oregon's 
rules (OAR 340-212-0200 through 0280) and EPA's rules (40 CFR part 64) 
apply to title V sources in Oregon. As such, EPA is approving the 
Oregon Compliance Assurance Monitoring rules as SIP strengthening 
provisions.
    EPA is approving ODEQ's rules for emission testing. As provided in 
40 CFR 51.212(c) and consistent with EPA guidance for alternative test 
methods for New Source Performance Standards and

[[Page 2896]]

National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, however, 
major changes to test methods for SIP-approved emission limits must be 
approved by EPA. See also ``How To Review and Issue Clean Air Act 
Applicability Determinations and Alternative Monitoring: New Source 
Performance Standards and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants,'' February 1999.
6. Division 214, Stationary Source Reporting Requirements
    This Division contains ODEQ's provisions for reporting and 
recordkeeping, information requests (CAA section 114 authority), 
credible evidence, business confidentiality, emission statements, and 
excess emissions. Numerous editorial changes were made throughout. The 
provisions for Records; Maintaining and Reporting were amended and 
relocated to section 0114 from Division 212.
    On October 17, 2002, Oregon withdrew the provisions for excess 
emissions (OAR 340-214-0300 through 0360) because ODEQ was beginning 
the process of revising those rules. As a result, the current excess 
emissions provisions in OAR 340 Division 28 will remain the SIP-
approved version of these provisions.
7. Division 216, Air Contaminant Discharge Permits
    This Division is the ODEQ Federally-enforceable State operating 
permit (FESOP) program, and is also the administrative permit mechanism 
used to implement the notice of construction and major new source 
review programs. This Division has been revised to clarify the 
different types of ACDP's, the requirements for applying for ACDP's and 
the processes for issuing and modifying ACDP's. The rule has also been 
revised to clarify when the ODEQ or the Lane Regional Air Pollution 
Authority has permitting responsibility for portable sources.
    The rules now establish 6 types of ACDP's:
    (1) Construction ACDP, which is used for approving Type 3 changes;
    (2) General ACDP, which is for categories of sources for which 
individual permits are unnecessary to protect the environment;
    (3) Short Term Activity ACDP, which is a letter permit for 
unexpected or emergency activities, operations or emissions;
    (4) Basic ACDP, which is a letter permit for sources and activities 
listed in Table 1 part A;
    (5) Simple ACDP, which is a permit that contains all relevant 
applicable requirements, generic PSEL's, and appropriate testing, 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
    (6) Standard ACDP, which is a permit that contains all applicable 
requirements, source-specific PSEL's or generic PSEL's as appropriate, 
and appropriate testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting 
requirements. Sources listed in table 1 part C must obtain a Standard 
ACDP.
    Basic ACDP's are available only for sources whose emissions are 
less than de minimis. Sources and activities listed in table 1 part B 
which do not qualify for a General or Simple ACDP must obtain a 
Standard ACDP. Any source not required to obtain a Standard ACDP may 
choose to obtain a Standard ACDP. The primary difference between a 
Simple ACDP and a Standard ACDP is that Simple ACDP's can only include 
generic PSEL's (the significant emission rate less one ton per year), 
not source-specific PSEL's, and have a netting basis of zero (see 
discussion in section III.C.9 below).
    The rules have been revised to clarify the general application 
requirements for new permits, permit renewals, and permit 
modifications, along with the process for determining the completeness 
of applications and for obtaining additional information during permit 
application review. The rules also include specific provisions for the 
application, content, and issuance of each type of ACDP, including the 
public comment process that will be followed for permit issuance and 
permit modifications. The provisions for General ACDP's include both 
the process for ODEQ issuance of a General ACDP as well as the 
procedures for sources to be assigned to the General ACDP.
    The rules were also revised to clarify the requirements for 
permitting multiple sources at a single adjacent or contiguous site, 
delete obsolete provisions for sources to obtain limits on potential to 
emit prior to the date for initial title V permit applications, add 
provisions for terminating or revoking an ACDP, add provisions for ODEQ 
initiated permit modifications, simplify fee requirements, clarify how 
fees may be reduced for sources that are temporarily suspending 
activities, and deleting obsolete provisions regarding ACDP's issued by 
the Lane Regional Air Pollution Authority.
    Finally, table 1, which previously contained the list of source 
types required to have ACDP's along with the associated fees, has been 
revised and restructured into two tables--table 1 which lists the 
source types required to have ACDP's and table 2 which establishes 
initial permitting application fees, annual fees, specific activity 
fees, and late fees. While the fee structure has been substantially 
revised, the ODEQ has striven to make sure the revisions are revenue 
neutral.
    Although the Oregon ACDP program has been significantly revised to 
clarify applicability, establish several different types of permits, 
and to streamline the permitting process, it continues to comply with 
EPA's requirements for FESOP programs as set forth in the June 28, 
1989, Federal Register (54 FR 27274).
8. Division 222, Stationary Source Plant Site Emission Limits
    This Division contains the ODEQ program for managing airshed 
capacity by regulating increases and decreases in air emissions of 
permitted sources through a Plant Site Emission Limit (PSEL). PSEL's 
are used to protect ambient air quality standards, prevent significant 
deterioration of air quality, and to ensure protection of visibility. 
It is important to note that PSEL's are not plantwide applicability 
limits (PAL's) for purposes of major new source review (see discussion 
in section III.C.9. below).
    The Division has been extensively revised to clarify that PSEL's 
are not required for pollutants that are emitted at less than de 
minimis levels, for Short Term Activity and Basic ACDP's, or for 
hazardous air pollutants, establish the concept of a generic PSEL and 
the criteria for establishing such, clarify the process for 
establishing and revising PSEL's, change the requirements for short-
term PSEL's, add provisions for addressing ``unassigned'' emissions 
(the difference between a source's netting basis and it's current 
potential to emit (PTE) when the netting basis exceeds the current 
PTE), and add provisions for addressing how PSEL's are treated when 
sources combine or split.
    Generic PSEL's are used for sources with a capacity less than the 
Significant Emission Rate (SER) unless the source has a netting basis 
and requests a source specific PSEL. Generic PSEL's may be used for any 
category of ACDP or title V permit. Generic PSEL's are set by rule at 1 
ton less than the SER (except for lead, municipal waste combustor 
organics, and PM-10 in Medford which are set slightly below the SER). 
Importantly, a source with a generic PSEL for a pollutant will have a 
netting basis of zero and will not have any emissions that can be used 
for netting (see discussion of netting basis in section III.C.9 below). 
Accumulated emission increases from physical or

[[Page 2897]]

operational changes that exceed the SER will be subject to NSR.
    Short-term PSEL's were previously required to be included in all 
permits for pollutants with short-term ambient air quality standards. 
The rules have been revised to require short-term PSEL's only for 
pollutants for which a short-term SER has been established (ODEQ 
establishes short-term SER's on an area specific basis as needed to 
ensure attainment and maintenance of a short-term NAAQS). The rules 
also have been revised to include procedures and criteria to be used 
when revising a short-term PSEL (previously, the rules only included 
criteria applicable to the annual PSEL's). Although this change will 
allow most ACDP's and title V operating permits to be issued in the 
future without including short-term PSEL's, ACDP's and title V 
operating permits will still need to include short-term PSEL's for 
areas where ODEQ has previously relied upon them to demonstrate 
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS.
    The general requirements for all PSEL's have been revised to 
clarify that annual PSEL's will be established on a rolling 12-month 
basis and to require sources to maintain either a Standard ACDP or a 
title V operating permit in order to have a netting basis (and a 
source-specific PSEL). It is ODEQ's intention that the PSEL function as 
a limit on a source's PTE.
    EPA has reviewed the provisions of the PSEL rule and finds that it 
establishes limits on a source's PTE that are Federally enforceable and 
enforceable as a practical matter (with adequate requirements for 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting in section 0080) in accordance 
with EPA's guidance for limiting PTE. Therefore, EPA is approving this 
rule such that PSEL's in ACDP's and title V operating permits that 
comply with the requirements of this rule will be considered to be 
limits on a source's PTE.
    New provisions for addressing unassigned emissions have been added. 
The purpose of this section is to track and manage the difference 
between the netting basis and what a source could emit based on its 
current physical and operational design. This section essentially 
limits unassigned emissions to no more than the SER, and establishes 
the process for reducing unassigned emissions and the netting basis 
when permits are renewed, modified, or reopened. Unassigned emissions 
may only be used for netting purposes, and cannot be sold or banked. 
Emissions that are removed from the netting basis cannot be used in 
future netting actions. The provision for temporary PSD increment 
allocation has been repealed. The effect of this repeal is that all 
requested increases in PSEL's will be evaluated for compliance with 
applicable PSD increments using the same criteria.
    The provisions for voluntary PSEL's for hazardous air pollutants 
(OAR 340-222-0060) has been revised to reflect the change to a rolling 
12-month average and to accommodate generic PSEL's. Because this 
provision does not directly relate to the SIP, EPA is taking no action 
on this portion of the PSEL rule. The effect of this is that HAP PSEL's 
established in ACDP's will not be Federally-enforceable limits on a 
source's PTE. However, for purposes of the Federal hazardous air 
pollutant program under section 112 of the CAA and for purposes of 
title V of the CAA, limits on PTE need not be Federally enforceable at 
this time.
    It is important to note that the rule explains how insignificant 
activities are addressed in plant-site emission limits. Categorically 
insignificant activities are generally not considered when establishing 
PSEL's and demonstrating compliance with PSEL's. However, emissions 
from aggregate insignificant activities are considered. Importantly, 
the rules state that all emissions from insignificant activities must 
be included when determining whether a source or modification is major 
for purposes of NSR or PSD. This means that a source which requests a 
PSEL below the major source thresholds to avoid NSR or PSD must include 
emissions from all insignificant activities in the PSEL.
    The rule includes a new section with specific requirements for 
ensuring compliance with PSEL's. It requires sources to monitor 
emissions or other parameters on a frequency and with averaging periods 
sufficient to demonstrate compliance with the annual PSEL on a monthly 
basis and with short-term PSEL's. Sources are required to maintain 
adequate records and to submit annual reports as required in ACDP's or 
title V operating permits. Specific requirements for monitoring, 
recordkeeping, and reporting will be included in all permits with 
PSEL's.
    Finally, the rule includes a new section which specifies how PSEL's 
and netting bases will be treated when two or more sources combine into 
one (e.g., when one source buys a neighboring plant), or when one 
source splits into two or more sources (e.g., when one source sells a 
portion of its plant to another company).
    Overall, the revisions to ODEQ's rules for Plant Site Emission 
Limits have clarified and strengthened the rules. Although the new 
provisions for generic PSEL's may allow insignificant increases at some 
existing non-major sources, the Oregon PSEL's still establish a more 
rigorous mechanism for regulating non-construction emissions increases 
at existing sources than do most other State programs. Furthermore, the 
new provisions for unassigned emissions will reduce PSEL's for major 
sources now and into the future. EPA is therefore approving the 
revisions to the PSEL rules.
9. Division 224, Major New Source Review
    This Division contains the ODEQ major source permit to construct 
programs as required by title I, parts C and D of the CAA. It requires 
an ACDP prior to beginning construction on a new major source or major 
modification. This Division applies to new major sources and major 
modifications and requires that no owner or operator begin actual 
construction without first having received an ACDP and having satisfied 
the requirements of this Division.
    Revisions to this Division must be evaluated in the context of the 
currently-approved ODEQ NSR rule. ODEQ's NSR rule differs from EPA's 
regulations in a number of fundamental ways. EPA evaluated and 
initially approved the ODEQ NSR program on August 13, 1982 (47 FR 
35191), as being equivalent or more stringent than EPA's regulations on 
a program basis. The ODEQ NSR program, which is closely linked to the 
ODEQ PSEL program, does not subject the same sources and modifications 
to major NSR as would EPA's rules. The ODEQ program has lower major 
source thresholds, so smaller new sources and changes to smaller 
existing sources are subject to review. However, the ODEQ program 
utilizes a plant-wide cap approach to defining major modification 
rather than a contemporaneous net emissions increase approach as does 
EPA's rules. The effect of this plant-wide cap approach is that some 
changes which would be subject to review under EPA's rules are not 
subject under ODEQ's rules. However, some changes which would not be 
subject to review under EPA's rules are subject under ODEQ's rules. In 
addition, changes which would result in increased emissions, but would 
not be considered modifications under EPA's rules, are reviewed for 
compliance with standards and increments under ODEQ's PSEL program. 
Overall, EPA when it initially approved Oregon's program in 1982 
determined that the Oregon program would review and control emissions 
from new and modified sources equal to

[[Page 2898]]

or better than EPA's program regardless of the fact that some specific 
changes might not be subject to NSR in Oregon that would be under EPA's 
program.
    EPA has evaluated the changes to the ODEQ program and determined 
they would improve the implementation and enforcement of the current 
ODEQ approach and that they would not result in any relaxation that 
could impair the ability of the program to protect NAAQS, PSD 
increments, and visibility in Class I areas. EPA is therefore approving 
the changes. Note that, with respect to Oregon's rules relating to new 
source review, EPA is taking no position on whether Oregon will need to 
make changes to its new source review rules to meet requirements that 
EPA promulgates as part of new source review reform.
a. Nonattainment Area (Part D) NSR
    Under ODEQ's rules, all new major sources or major modifications in 
nonattainment areas must comply with the Lowest Achievable Emission 
Rate (LAER). Because the ODEQ definition of major modification 
accumulates emission increases and decreases since the baseline date or 
last NSR permit, emission units that were constructed or modified in 
the past as minor changes are subject to major NSR when the accumulated 
increases exceed the SER. As such, the ODEQ rule includes special 
provisions for applying LAER retroactively to these new or modified 
emission units, including the consideration of whether the retrofit 
controls are technically feasible. Because EPA's regulations would not 
require LAER to be required retroactively for minor changes that were 
not part of the current permitting action, the additional ODEQ criteria 
for applying LAER to these changes does not conflict with the CAA or 
EPA's requirements.
    Under ODEQ's rules, all new major sources and major modifications 
in nonattainment areas must also provide emissions offsets and 
demonstrate that a net air quality benefit will be achieved. Under 
ODEQ's rules, however, only Federal major sources in nonattainment 
areas must evaluate alternative sites, sizes, production process and 
environmental control techniques and demonstrate that the benefits of 
the proposed source or modification will significantly outweigh the 
environmental and social costs (see section 173(a)(5) of the Act). 
Similarly, only Federal major sources must demonstrate that all major 
sources owned or operated with Oregon are in compliance or on a 
compliance schedule (see section 173(a)(3) of the Act). Finally, only 
Federal major sources must comply with the requirements for visibility 
protection (see 40 CFR 51.307(b)(2) and (c)).
    The rule also includes a special exemption for the Salem ozone 
nonattainment area which exempts new major sources and major 
modifications from the offset requirement. The Salem ozone 
nonattainment area is considered to be a rural ozone nonattainment area 
under EPA's policy in effect in 1978 when the area was designated 
nonattainment.
    Finally, the revisions to the definition of significant emission 
rate changed the size threshold for major sources in the Klamath Falls 
Urban Growth Area and the Lakeview PM-10 Nonattainment Area. EPA is 
approving these revisions because they only affect future permitting 
and the revised major source size thresholds are still lower than the 
Federal major source size thresholds.
b. Maintenance Area NSR
    The ODEQ rules also include provisions for new major sources and 
major modifications in maintenance areas (areas that were designated 
nonattainment for particulate matter, carbon monoxide, or ozone, but 
have been redesignated to attainment). This provision essentially 
merges several of the concepts of PSD and nonattainment area NSR for 
use in maintenance areas. All new major sources and major modifications 
must apply the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) for the 
maintenance pollutant. The scheme for the application of BACT is 
similar to the scheme for the application of LAER in nonattainment 
areas with respect to retroactive application of BACT to emission units 
that have already been constructed or modified.
    All new major sources and major modifications must either obtain 
emission offsets and provide for a net air quality benefit, or must 
obtain an allocation of the growth allowance (for carbon monoxide or 
ozone areas only) established in the approved maintenance plan (if one 
was established). However, a carbon monoxide major source which 
demonstrates that it would have an insignificant impact at all 
locations is exempt from the requirement to obtain offsets or a growth 
allowance allocation. Similarly, a PM-10 major source is exempt from 
the requirement to obtain offsets if it demonstrates that it would not 
cause or contribute to a cumulative air quality impact greater than 
certain ambient ceilings specified in the rules. Importantly, the rules 
require all Federal major sources to comply with the PSD requirements 
in addition to the maintenance area provisions.
    The maintenance area provisions also include a contingency plan 
component. If the contingency plan in an applicable maintenance plan is 
implemented due to a violation of an ambient air quality standard, the 
requirements of the maintenance area NSR program become more stringent 
until a revised maintenance plan is approved by EPA. Instead of BACT, 
new major sources and major modifications are required to apply LAER; 
growth allowances may no longer be used to meet the offset requirement; 
and the exemption for carbon monoxide sources would no longer apply. 
Finally, the rule clarifies that the nonattainment area provisions 
continue to apply in areas with pending redesignation requests until 
the area is formally redesignated to attainment by EPA.
c. Attainment Area PSD/NSR
    The ODEQ rules include provisions for new major sources and major 
modifications in attainment and unclassifiable areas. However, these 
provisions are applicable only to ``Federal major sources'' as that 
term is defined in the ODEQ rules. The definition of ``Federal major 
sources'' is essentially the same as the EPA definition of major 
stationary source in 40 CFR 51.166(a)(1) (the PSD definition) with one 
significant difference. Because the ODEQ rules specifically require 
that fugitive emissions be counted in determining major source status 
for all sources, the ODEQ PSD rules will potentially require more 
sources to be subject to PSD than required by EPA's rules.
    Note that the provisions applicable to new major sources and major 
modifications that are not Federal major sources are found in the 
provisions for standard ACDP's and PSEL's. All new major stationary 
sources and major modifications need to obtain an ACDP and comply with 
the applicable requirements of those Divisions. For ODEQ major sources 
located in attainment or unclassifiable areas, the ACDP and PSEL rules 
require that the owner or operator demonstrate that the new source or 
modification would not cause or contribute to a violation of the 
ambient standards and applicable PSD increments.
    New major sources and major modifications must apply BACT for each 
pollutant emitted in significant amounts. The scheme for the 
application of BACT is similar to the scheme for the application of 
LAER in nonattainment areas with respect to retroactive application of 
BACT to

[[Page 2899]]

emission units that have already been constructed or modified. New 
major sources and major modifications must also provide an analysis of 
air quality impacts, including ambient air quality monitoring, in 
accordance with the requirements of Division 225 (see section III.C.10 
below). New major sources and major modifications that significantly 
impact a PM-10 maintenance area must also meet the requirements of OAR 
340-224-0060(2) Air Quality Protection. Finally, the rules include 
provisions for temporary and portable major sources, and for temporary 
construction related emissions. The rules also clarify how fugitive 
emissions and secondary emissions are counted for applicability 
purposes and for inclusion in ambient impact analyses.
    The current SIP-approved rules exempt new major sources and major 
modifications that are not Federal major sources from the requirements 
of BACT, pre-application and post-construction air quality monitoring, 
and the additional impacts analysis. This exemption was only available 
if the source demonstrated that it did not cause or contribute to any 
violation of a NAAQS or PSD increment. The current SIP-approved rules 
did not exempt any new major source or major modification from the 
Class I area provisions of the rules. The revised rules exempt new 
major sources and major modifications that are not Federal major 
sources from all of the PSD requirements, including the Class I area 
provisions. Furthermore, the revised rules do not include the 
eligibility criteria regarding violations of the NAAQS and PSD 
increments. Although these changes will have the effect of relaxing the 
ODEQ major source NSR rule, EPA believes that they are approvable. 
First, a State is not required to apply PSD requirements to sources 
which are not Federal major sources. Second, ODEQ's permit to construct 
program for non-Federal major sources still complies with EPA's 
requirements in 40 CFR 51.160 through 51.164 and ensures that new and 
modified major sources will not cause or contribute to violations of 
any NAAQS.
d. State-Federal Relationship in New Source Review
    In approving the Oregon new source review rules, EPA recognizes 
that it has a responsibility to insure that all States properly 
implement their preconstruction permitting programs. EPA's approval of 
the Oregon new source review rules does not divest EPA of the duty to 
continue appropriate oversight to insure that permits issued by Oregon 
are consistent with the requirements of the Act, EPA regulations, and 
the SIP. EPA's authority to oversee permit program implementation is 
set forth in sections 113, 167, and 505(b) of the Act. For example, 
section 167 provides that EPA shall issue administrative orders, 
initiate civil actions, or take whatever other enforcement action may 
be necessary to prevent construction of a major stationary source that 
does not ``conform to the requirements of'' the PSD program. Similarly, 
section 113(a)(5) of the CAA provides for administrative orders and 
civil actions whenever EPA finds that a State ``is not acting in 
compliance with'' any requirement or prohibition of the CAA regarding 
construction of new or modified sources. Likewise, section 113(a)(1) 
provides for a range of enforcement remedies whenever EPA finds that a 
person is in violation of an applicable implementation plan.
    Enactment of title V of the CAA and the EPA objection opportunity 
provided therein has added new tools for addressing deficient new 
source review decisions by States. Section 505(b) requires EPA to 
object to the issuance of a permit issued pursuant to title V whenever 
the Administrator finds during the applicable review period, either on 
her own initiative or in response to a citizen petition, that the 
permit is ``not in compliance with the requirements of an applicable 
requirement of this Act, including the requirements of an applicable 
implementation plan.''
    Regardless of whether EPA addresses deficient permits using 
objection authorities or enforcement authorities or both, EPA cannot 
intervene unless the State decision fails to comply with applicable 
requirements. In determining whether a title V permit incorporating PSD 
or part D NSR provisions calls for EPA objection under section 505(b) 
or use of enforcement authorities under sections 113 and 167, EPA will 
consider whether the applicable substantive and procedural requirements 
for public review and development of supporting documentation were 
followed. In particular, EPA will review the process followed by the 
permitting authority in determining BACT or LAER, assessing air quality 
impacts, meeting Class I area requirements, and other PSD or Part D 
requirements, to ensure that the required SIP procedures (including 
public participation and Federal Land Manager consultation 
opportunities) were met. EPA will also review whether any determination 
by the permitting authority was made on reasonable grounds properly 
supported on the record, described in enforceable terms, and consistent 
with all applicable requirements. Finally, EPA will review whether the 
terms of the PSD or Part D NSR permit were properly incorporated into 
the title V operating permit.
10. Division 225, Air Quality Analysis Requirements
    This new Division contains all of the modeling, monitoring, impact 
analysis, and net air quality benefit requirements that are necessary 
to ensure ambient air quality requirements are met in the permitting 
process. These requirements were previously located in Division 224. 
The Division also includes new provisions which specify the technical 
information and processes to be used in air quality impact analyses.
    The Division includes sections that: (1) Specify the information 
required to be submitted in permit applications; (2) require compliance 
with EPA's Guidelines on Air Quality Models (40 CFR part 51, appendix 
W); (3) establish requirements for demonstrating compliance with the 
ambient air quality ceilings, standards and increments in maintenance 
areas; (4) establish the requirements for demonstrating compliance with 
standards and increments in Class II and Class III areas, including the 
requirements for pre-application and post-construction monitoring; (5) 
establish requirements for demonstrating compliance with standards and 
increments in Class I areas; (6) establish requirements for 
demonstration compliance with air quality related values (including 
visibility) protection; and (7) establish the requirements for 
demonstrating that offsets provide for a net air quality benefit.
    The provisions for air quality impact analyses for Class I, Class 
II, and Class III areas comply with EPA's requirements for SIP PSD 
programs (40 CFR 51.166) for air quality impact analyses and with EPA's 
requirements for visibility protection (40 CFR 51.307). The provisions 
for Class I areas and the provisions for protection of air quality 
related values (including visibility) also conform to the Federal Land 
Manager recommendations in the FLAG Report. Importantly, the provisions 
for Class I areas include PSD Class I Significant Impact levels that 
are the same as those EPA has proposed for 40 CFR 51.166 and 52.21 (61 
FR 38250, July 23, 1996). EPA is therefore approving these provisions, 
including the Class I area significant impact levels, as a revision to 
the Oregon permitting program.
    The provisions for demonstrating net air quality benefit comply 
with the CAA and EPA's requirements for emission

[[Page 2900]]

offsets (section 173 of the Act, 40 CFR 51.165(a) and 40 CFR part 51, 
appendix S (Emission Offset Interpretative Ruling)). EPA is therefore 
approving these provisions as complying with part D of title 1 of the 
Act.
    Note that EPA is approving both the permanent versions of sections 
225-0020(10) and 225-0090(1)(c) and the temporary versions of these 
provisions for the time period they are in effect.
11. Division 226, General Emission Standards
    This Division contains emission standards and requirements of 
general applicability, including requirements for highest and best 
practicable treatment and control (section 0100), pollution prevention 
(section 0110), operating and maintenance (section 0120), and typically 
achievable control technology (section 0130). This Division also 
includes authority for ODEQ to impose additional requirements on a 
permit-by-permit basis (section 0140) and to approve alternative 
emission controls (bubbles) (section 0400). Finally, this Division 
includes the statewide particulate emission limits for process 
equipment and other sources (except for fuel or refuse burning 
equipment).
    The Division was amended by revising the provisions for alternative 
emission controls (bubbles) to comply with EPA's Final Emissions 
Trading Policy Statement for generic bubble rules (51 FR 43814, 
December 4, 1986). Oregon's previous rules had been approved as meeting 
EPA's requirements for generic bubble rules under the April 7, 1982, 
Emission Trading Policy Statement (47 FR 15076). In order to address 
the requirement for replicable procedures, the rule has been revised to 
exclude trades involving pollutants other than ozone precursors from 
the generic bubble approach. As such, bubbles involving ozone 
precursors (VOC and NOX) can still be done without case-by-
case SIP revisions, but bubbles for all other pollutants will need to 
be submitted to, and approved by, EPA before they become the applicable 
requirements of the Oregon SIP.
    Note that EPA is approving section 0140 (authority to impose 
additional requirements on a permit-by-permit basis) because any 
requirement established under this provision would be in addition to 
existing requirements and could not change any existing requirement. 
However, ODEQ would still need to submit requirements established under 
this provision for inclusion in the SIP if such requirements are 
necessary to comply with any specific provision of the CAA or EPA 
regulations.
12. Division 268, Emission Reduction Credits
    This Division contains ODEQ's procedures for generating, banking, 
and using emission reduction credits (ERC's). The Division was revised 
to simplify the program, make it consistent with changes to ODEQ's 
Plant Site Emission Limit rule (specifically the treatment of 
unassigned emissions), and to ensure emission reduction credits conform 
to the requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations. The authority to 
issue an ERC permit to sources which are not otherwise required to have 
an Air Contaminant Discharge Permit or title V operating permit was 
also established. Finally, the provisions for ``Baseline for 
Determining Credit for Offsets'' (section 0040) were repealed and 
replaced by provisions in section 0030.
    The provisions for creating emission reduction credits are also 
used for establishing creditable emission reductions in netting and 
offset transactions. As such, these rules must conform with the 
requirements of the CAA and EPA regulations for part D NSR and PSD for 
creditable emission reductions (including 40 CFR 51.165(a)(1)(vi), 
51.165(a)(3), 51.166(b)(3) of EPA's regulations and sections 173(a)(1) 
and 173(c) of the Act). The rules require that any emission reduction 
credit be created through permanent reductions in current actual 
emissions, be enforceable by ODEQ, and be surplus. Emission reductions 
necessary to comply with any applicable emission limits are not 
creditable. Note that the requirement for offsets to be Federally 
enforceable at the time of permit issuance is included in Division 225.
    The rules establish the process for banking emission reduction 
credits and using banked emission reduction credits. The rules also 
establish the requirements for unused banked credits, returning them to 
the source as unassigned PSEL and then reducing them through the 
process set forth in the PSEL rules. These banking provisions comply 
with EPA's requirements for SIP emission reduction credit banking 
programs as set forth in the Final Emissions Trading Policy Statement 
(51 FR 43814, December 4, 1986).

IV. Letter Notice Approval--Repeal of Rule for Parking Offsets in the 
Portland Central Business District

    Pursuant to procedures described in the January 19, 1989, Federal 
Register that describes changes being implemented in the way State 
implementation plans are processed at EPA, we approved a minor SIP 
revision submitted by ODEQ on December 15, 1998, in a letter approval 
dated October 21, 1999. The SIP submittal repealed provisions relating 
to parking offsets in the Portland Central Business District, 
specifically, OAR 340-020-0400, 340-020-0405, 340-020-0410, 340-020-
0420, and 340-020-0430. Due to the minor nature of this revision, we 
concluded that conducting notice-and-comment rulemaking prior to 
approving this revision would have been ``unnecessary and contrary to 
the public interest'', and therefore, was not required by the 
Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b). In accordance with EPA 
guidance on letter approvals, EPA is publishing notice of the letter 
approval in this action. A copy of the letter approval is in the 
docket. Approval of this SIP action became final and effective on 
October 21, 1999, the date of the EPA letter approval.

V. Statutory Authority

    Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 468 and 468A provide ODEQ the basic 
legal authority to carry out the provisions of the State Implementation 
Plan. EPA has reviewed the 2001 edition of the Oregon statutes and 
believes the Oregon statutes continue to provide ODEQ with adequate 
legal authority to carry out the Oregon SIP as set forth in sections 
110 and 114 of the CAA and its implementing regulations, in particular 
40 CFR 51.230. EPA is not incorporating ORS 468 and 468A by reference 
as part of the Oregon SIP, however, to avoid potential conflict with 
EPA's independent authorities.
    Several provisions of these Oregon statutes merit further 
discussion. First, during the 2001 Legislative Session, the Oregon 
Legislature passed House Bill 3536, which amended Oregon's Audit 
Privilege Act, ORS 468.963, to ensure that the Audit Privilege Law does 
not apply to criminal investigations or proceedings. This change 
resolved concerns previously identified by EPA. Second, during the 1997 
Legislative Session, the Oregon Legislature enacted a ``Green Permits'' 
program. The program is designed to use regulatory incentives to 
achieve better environmental results than otherwise required by law. 
Although the law states that any requirement under environmental laws 
that is contrary to the provisions of a Green Permit shall not apply to 
a facility operating under a Green Permit, this provision does not 
apply in the case of Federal environmental requirements. EPA, ODEQ and 
Lane Regional Air Pollution

[[Page 2901]]

Authority entered into a memorandum of Agreement dated June 1, 2000, to 
guide the implementation of Oregon's Green Permits program. The MOA 
states that implementation of the MOA will be conducted in a manner 
consistent with ODEQ's responsibilities under its approved, authorized 
or delegated programs. Therefore, Green Permits cannot be used to 
change SIP requirements unless the change is submitted as a SIP 
revision.
    Third, ORS 468.126, which remains unchanged since EPA last approved 
Oregon's SIP, prohibits ODEQ from imposing a penalty for violation of 
an air, water or solid waste permit unless the source has been provided 
five days' advanced written notice of the violation and has not come 
into compliance or submitted a compliance schedule within that five-day 
period. By its terms, the statute does not apply to Oregon's title V 
program or to any program if application of the notice provision would 
disqualify the program from Federal delegation. Oregon has previously 
confirmed that, because application of the notice provision would 
preclude EPA approval of the Oregon SIP, no advance notice is required 
for violation of SIP requirements.
    Fourth, ORS 468A.330, which also is unchanged since EPA last 
approved the Oregon SIP, sets up a technical assistance program for 
compliance with air regulations and states that technical assistance 
visits cannot result in inspections or enforcement actions. EPA has 
previously determined that this statute did not pose a bar to approval 
of Oregon's air programs based on EPA's August 12, 1994, guidance 
document entitled ``Enforcement Response Policy for Treatment of 
Information Obtained Through the Clean Air Act Section 507 Small 
Business Assistance Program'' because Oregon operates its air technical 
assistance program completely separate from its air enforcement 
program. See 60 FR 50106, 50107 (September 28, 1995).
    Finally, ORS 468A.075, which is also unchanged since EPA last 
approved Oregon's SIP, authorizes the Oregon Environmental Quality 
Commission to grant variances from air contamination rules and 
standards. Section 110(i) of the CAA specifically precludes States from 
changing the requirements of the SIP except through SIP revisions 
approved by EPA. SIP revisions will be approved by EPA only if they 
meet all requirements of section 110 of the CAA and the implementing 
regulations at 40 CFR part 51. See CAA section 110(l); 40 CFR 51.104. 
Moreover, 40 CFR 51.104(d) specifically states that in order for a 
variance to be considered for approval as a SIP revision, the State 
must submit it in accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 51.104. 
Therefore, if Oregon grants a source-specific variance to a State air 
regulation, which regulation has been approved as part of the Oregon 
SIP, EPA is not precluded from enforcing the Federally-approved SIP 
limit against the source. The granting of a variance by Oregon to a SIP 
requirement does not change the Federally-enforceable SIP requirement 
for that source unless and until the variance has been approved by EPA 
as a source-specific SIP revision.

VI. Scope of EPA Approval

    Oregon has not demonstrated authority to implement and enforce the 
Oregon Administrative Rules within ``Indian Country'' as defined in 18 
U.S.C. 1151.\1\ Therefore, this SIP approval does not extend to 
``Indian Country'' in Oregon. See CAA sections 110(a)(2)(A) (SIP shall 
include enforceable emission limits), 110(a)(2)(E)(i) (State must have 
adequate authority under State law to carry out SIP), and 172(c)(6) 
(nonattainment SIPs shall include enforceable emission limits). This is 
consistent with EPA's previous approval of Oregon's PSD program, in 
which EPA specifically disapproved the program for sources within 
Indian Reservations in Oregon because the State had not shown it had 
authority to regulate such sources. See 40 CFR 52.1987(c). It is also 
consistent with EPA's approval of Oregon's title V operating permits 
program. See 59 FR 61820, 61827 (December 2, 1994) (interim approval 
does not extend to Indian Country); 60 FR 50106, 50106 (September 28, 
1995) (full approval does not extend to Indian Country).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ ``Indian country'' is defined under 18 U.S.C. 1151 as: (1) 
All land within the limits of any Indian reservation under the 
jurisdiction of the United States Government, notwithstanding the 
issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way running through 
the reservation, (2) all dependent Indian communities within the 
borders of the United States, whether within the original or 
subsequently acquired territory thereof, and whether within or 
without the limits of a State, and (3) all Indian allotments, the 
Indian titles to which have not been extinguished, including rights-
of-way running through the same. Under this definition, EPA treats 
as reservations trust lands validly set aside for the use of a Tribe 
even if the trust lands have not been formally designated as a 
reservation.

of Permits)
20 (Air Pollution Control)

30 (Specific Air Pollution Control Rules for the Medford-Ashland Air 
Quality Maintenance Area)

    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency believes this is a noncontroversial submittal 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 March 24, 2003, 
without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comments by 
February 21, 2003.
    If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a notice 
withdrawing the final rule and 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. There will not be a 
second comment period; therefore, any party interested in commenting 
should do so at this time. If no such comments are received, this rule 
will be effective on March 24, 2003, and no further action will be 
taken on the proposed rule. 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.

VIII. Regulatory Assessment 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), 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.).
    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. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United

[[Page 2903]]

States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 24, 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 may not be challenged 
later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 
307(b)(2).)
