I. Background

    Title V of the CAA Amendments of 1990 required all State permitting 
authorities to develop operating permits programs that met certain 
federal criteria codified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 
70. On November 30, 2001, we promulgated final full approval of 34 
California districts' title V operating permits programs. See 66 FR 
63503 (December 7, 2001). Our final rulemaking was challenged by 
several environmental and community groups alleging that the full 
approval was unlawful based, in part, on an exemption in section 
42310(e) of the California Health and Safety Code of major agricultural 
sources from title V permitting. EPA entered into a settlement of this 
litigation which required, in part, that the Agency propose to 
partially withdraw approval of the 34 fully approved title V programs 
in California.
    Sections 70.10(b) and 70.10(c) provide that EPA may withdraw a 40 
CFR part 70 program approval, in whole or in part, whenever the 
permitting authority's legal authority does not meet the requirements 
of part 70 and the permitting authority fails to take corrective 
action. To commence regulatory action to partially withdraw title V 
program approval, EPA published a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) in the 
Federal Register. See 67 FR 35990 (May 22, 2002). Pursuant to 40 CFR 
70.10(b)(2), publication of the NOD commenced a 90-day period during 
which the State of California had to take significant action to assure 
adequate administration and enforcement of the

[[Page 65638]]

local districts' programs. As described in EPA's NOD, the Agency 
determined that ``significant action'' in this instance meant the 
revision or removal of California Health and Safety Code 42310(e), so 
that the local air pollution control districts could adequately 
administer and enforce the title V permitting program for stationary 
agricultural sources that are major sources of air pollution.
    During the 90-day period provided to the State to take the 
necessary corrective action, EPA proposed to partially withdraw title V 
program approval in each of the 34 California districts with full 
program approval. See 67 FR 48426 (July 24, 2002). Since the State did 
not take the necessary action to assure adequate administration and 
enforcement of the title V program within the specified time frame, EPA 
took final action, pursuant to our authority at 40 CFR 70.10(b)(2)(i), 
to partially withdraw approval of the title V programs for the 34 local 
air districts listed above. See 67 FR 63551 (October 15, 2002).
    On September 22, 2003, the Governor of California signed SB 700, 
which revised State law to remove the agricultural permitting 
exemption. The legislation eliminated the exemption and therefore 
corrected the deficiency we identified in the May 22, 2002 NOD. 
Therefore, on October 8, 2003, EPA proposed to approve a revision to 
the 34 district title V programs because districts now have the 
authority to permit all major stationary sources, including those 
agricultural sources that were formerly exempt from title V under State 
law (68 FR 58055). Based on this change in state law and our receipt of 
a legal opinion from the California Attorney General that confirms that 
the elimination of the agricultural permitting exemption from State law 
provides the 34 districts with authority to issue title V permits to 
major stationary agricultural sources, we are finalizing the program 
revision today.

II. Comments Received by EPA on Our Proposed Rulemaking and EPA's 
Responses

    EPA received one set of comments. Copies of these comments are 
available for inspection during normal business hours at Air Division, 
EPA Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California, 94105.
    A summary of the significant comments, and our response thereto, 
follow.
    Comment: The commenter alleges that the proposed rule requires 
review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and alleges that 
``farmers were not included'' in the OMB review of the proposed part 70 
rule in 1992. In addition, the commenter claims that regulation of 
stationary agricultural sources by California air pollution control 
districts will result in economic hardship for California farmers.
    Response: It is difficult to determine the legal requirement that 
the commenter alleges EPA violated because the comment does not cite to 
any particular statutory, regulatory or executive requirement. To the 
extent the comment asserts that the rule must undergo OMB review, EPA 
disagrees. As we stated in the proposed rule, under Executive Order 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a 
``significant regulatory action'', and therefore not subject to OMB 
review. With regard to OMB review in 1992, it is not clear which 
rulemaking the commenter is referring to. If he is referring to the 
final part 70 rule, his statement is incorrect because the part 70 rule 
did undergo OMB review. The rule was judged to be ``major'' under 
Executive Order 12291, and a Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) was 
prepared and made available for public comment as part of EPA's May 10, 
1991 proposal of part 70 [56 FR 21712]. All interested parties, 
including farmers, had access to the RIA and an opportunity to comment 
on it. If the commenter is referring to EPA's rulemaking actions to 
grant interim approval to individual district title V programs in 
California, he is incorrect because OMB exempted those state-specific 
actions from review. See, for example, EPA's April 24, 1996 final rule 
granting interim approval of the San Joaquin Valley Unified APCD title 
V operating permit program [61 FR 18083].
    EPA also disagrees with the commenter's claim that approval of this 
program revision for 34 title V Operating Permits Programs will result 
in economic hardship for California farmers. Today's action affects 
only major agricultural stationary sources that already are subject to 
EPA's part 71 title V permitting program, and will not result in 
regulation of the majority of farms which are not subject to title V. 
The title V program revision EPA is approving, and EPA's termination of 
its implementation of a part 71 federal operating permit program for 
State-exempt major stationary agricultural sources, merely transfers 
the authority to permit such sources from EPA to the 34 districts. As 
stated in the Administrative Requirements section of this notice, this 
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and 
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator has certified that this final rule will 
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA). In making this 
certification, we note that the Regulatory Flexibility Act requires a 
certification only as to entities directly regulated by a rulemaking 
(e.g., farms that are major stationary sources under the Clean Air 
Act); it does not require us to look at small farms not subject to the 
final rule, or to downstream businesses or consumers that deal with the 
larger farms. See Cement Kiln Recycling Coalition v. EPA, 255 F.3d 855 
(D.C. Cir. 2001).

III. Description of EPA's Final Action

    We are approving the program revision of the 34 Clean Air Act title 
V Operating Permits programs in the State of California. Our action is 
based on a legal opinion from the California Attorney General that 
confirms that the elimination of the agricultural permitting exemption 
from State law provides the 34 districts with authority to issue title 
V permits to major stationary agricultural sources.

IV. Effect of EPA's Rulemaking

    Our final action means that the 34 districts have title V programs 
that require all major stationary sources to obtain title V operating 
permits. It also terminates EPA's implementation of a part 71 federal 
operating permit program for formerly State-exempt major stationary 
agricultural sources within the jurisdiction of the 34 California air 
districts listed at the beginning of this final rule. EPA will not 
issue any permits to these sources, since the 34 districts will have 
the authority to issue title V permits to major agricultural stationary 
sources beginning on January 1, 2004. Therefore, EPA is no longer 
requiring major stationary agricultural sources to submit part 71 
permit applications and suspends any outstanding application deadlines.
    The May 22, 2002 NOD started an 18 month sanctions clock pursuant 
to CAA section 179(b). CAA Sec. 502(i)(1) and (2), 40 CFR 70.4(k) and 
70.10(b)(2)-(4). California has undertaken all of the required 
corrections in response to the NOD. Therefore, the sanctions clock is 
terminated as of November 13, 2003, even though EPA's implementation of 
the Part 71 program will not be terminated until January 1, 2004.

[[Page 65639]]

V. Administrative 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 revisions to state operating permit programs submitted 
pursuant to Title V of the CAA, EPA will approve such revisions 
provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act and EPA's 
regulations codified at 40 CFR part 70. 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 Part 70 
program revision for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent 
with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a Part 70 program 
revision, to use VCS in place of a Part 70 program revision 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. section 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. 
section 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 States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by January 20, 2004. 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).)
