I. Background

    On June 6, 2005, WDOH submitted a request for delegation of 
authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part 61, subparts A, B, H, I, 
K, Q, R, T, and W (Radionuclide NESHAPs). WDOH's request showed that it 
had adopted without change or modification all of the provisions of the 
Radionuclide NESHAPs, as in effect on July 1, 2004. On February 22, 
2006, EPA proposed a partial approval of WDOH's delegation request. The 
reason for EPA's decision to grant partial rather than full approval 
was that WDOH does not currently have express authority to recover 
criminal fines for knowingly making a false material statement, 
representation, or certificate in any form, notice or report, or 
knowingly rendering inadequate any required monitoring device or 
method, as required by 40 CFR 70.11(a)(3)(iii) and 40 CFR 
63.91(d)(3)(i). Please refer to 71 FR 9059 (February 22, 2006) for a 
detailed description of our proposed partial approval and delegation.

II. Response to Comments

    EPA provided a 30-day period for public comment on our February 22, 
2006 proposal, which ended on March 24, 2006. No comments were received

[[Page 32277]]

during the public comment period. EPA did receive a comment letter, 
however, on March 27, 2006, after the close of the public comment 
period. Although EPA is not legally obligated to respond, a summary of 
the commenter's concerns and EPA's response to the comments follows. A 
copy of the comment letter is in the docket.
    The commenter states that WDOH's radionuclide regulations are not 
consistent with and are more stringent than the Radionuclide NESHAPs. 
The commenter cites a 1983 EPA guidance document regarding delegation 
of NSPS and NESHAP standards which states that ``state regulations 
dealing with NSPS and NESHAPS must be consistent with the Federal 
regulations as outlined in 40 CFR Part 60 and 61.'' Good Practices 
Manual for Delegation of NSPS and NESHAPs, February 1983. The commenter 
continues that, although a state regulation is allowed to be more 
stringent than the corresponding federal regulation, the state 
regulation should be consistent.
    The commenter notes several ways in which it believes WDOH's 
radionuclide regulations are not consistent with the Radionuclide 
NESHAPs. First, the commenter states that the WDOH regulations have no 
de minimis exemption from the requirement to obtain a construction 
permit and that there is no scientific basis for permitting sources 
below EPA's standard of 0.1 mrem per year. EPA assumes this is a 
reference to the exemption in 40 CFR 61.96(b) for new construction and 
modifications with emissions less than 1% of the standard in 40 CFR 
61.92 (referred to here as the ``de minimis exemption'' or ``de minimis 
level''). The commenter is also concerned that WDOH has allegedly 
stated that it does not review or assess the economic impact of 
regulating sources below this de minimis level. Second, the commenter 
states that some of WDOH's exemptions are narrower than those provided 
in the Radionuclide NESHAPs. As an example, the commenter states that 
WDOH's exemption to the definition of ``modification'' for routine 
maintenance, repair and replacement applies only to abatement 
technology, whereas EPA's definition of modification has no such 
limitation. Third, the commenter states that WDOH requires notice of 
construction applications for accidental releases, whereas the 
Radionuclide NESHAPs do not. Fourth, the commenter states that WDOH has 
expressed concern, and even reluctance, to permit some individual 
sources, even though their effective doses were below the de minimis 
level individually and actual facility-wide emissions are approximately 
0.3% of the Radionuclide NESHAPs facility-wide standard of 10 mrem per 
year because the unabated (uncontrolled) emissions of the Department of 
Energy's Hanford facility (DOE Hanford) are approaching the facility-
wide standard of 10 mrem per year. The commenter concludes that EPA 
should not delegate the Radionuclide NESHAPs to WDOH unless WDOH 
promulgates regulations consistent with the regulations and the intent 
of the Radionuclide NESHAPs or documents substantial evidence other 
than that compiled by the EPA to reinforce their regulations.
    As the commenter notes and as discussed in the proposal, WDOH has, 
in addition, adopted other provisions as a matter of state law that 
regulated radionuclide emissions and that apply to sources subject to 
the Radionuclide NESHAPs. These requirements are additional to and more 
stringent than the Radionuclide NESHAPs, by, for example, eliminating 
exemptions that may be available under the Radionuclide NESHAPs. 
Section 116 of the CAA makes clear, however, that with some exceptions 
not relevant here, nothing in title I of the CAA precludes or denies 
the right of any State to adopt or enforce any standard or limitation 
respecting emissions of air pollutants or any requirement respecting 
control or abatement of air pollutant so long as it is not less 
stringent than a standard or limitation in effect under an applicable 
implementation plan or under section 111 or 112 of the CAA. EPA made 
clear in proposing to approve WDOH's delegation request that EPA's 
partial approval and delegation of the Radionuclide NESHAPs to WDOH 
does not extend to any additional state standards regulating 
radionuclide emissions. See 71 FR 9062 and 9063. These additional State 
standards are enforceable as a matter of State law, but are not 
enforceable under the CAA or in any way part of this delegation.

III. Final Action

    EPA is granting partial approval to WDOH's request for partial 
approval and delegation of authority to implement and enforce the 
Radionuclide NESHAPs. Pursuant to the authority of section 112(l) of 
the CAA, this partial approval is based on EPA's finding that State 
law, regulations and agency resources meet the requirements for partial 
program approval and delegation of authority specified in 40 CFR 63.91 
and applicable EPA guidance. Except as provided in Section III.B., EPA 
is delegating to WDOH authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part 
61, subparts A, B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W, as in effect on July 1, 
2004. NESHAPs that are promulgated or revised substantively after July 
1, 2004 are not delegated to WDOH. These remain the responsibility of 
EPA. Included as part of the delegation is the authority to approve:
    1. ``Minor changes to monitoring,'' including the use of the 
specified monitoring requirements and procedures with minor changes in 
methodology as described in 40 CFR 61.14(g)(1)(i);
    2. ``Intermediate changes to monitoring;''
    3. ``Minor changes to recordkeeping/reporting;'';
    4. ``Minor changes in test methods,'' including the use of a 
reference method with minor changes in methodology as described in 40 
CFR 61.13(h)(1)(i);
    5. Waiver of the requirement for emission testing because the owner 
or operator of a source has demonstrated by other means to WDOH's 
satisfaction that the source is in compliance with the standard as 
described in 40 CFR 61.13(h)(1)(iii).
    For purposes of this paragraph, the terms in quotations have the 
meaning assigned to them in 40 CFR 63.90.
    EPA is also updating the table published at 40 CFR 61.04(c)(10) 
showing the most recent delegation status of specific part 61 subparts 
that have been delegated to State and local air pollution control 
authorities in Region 10.

A. What Authorities Are Excluded From This Partial Approval and 
Delegation?

    EPA is not delegating authorities under 40 CFR part 61 that 
specifically indicate they can not be delegated, that require 
rulemaking to implement, that affect the stringency of the standard, or 
where national oversight is the only way to ensure national 
consistency. Table 1 below identifies the specific authorities within 
40 CFR part 61, subparts A, B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, and W that EPA is 
specifically excluding from this delegation.

                                     and Radiation).
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, because WDOH does not currently have express authority 
to recover criminal fines for knowingly making a false material 
statement, representation, or certificate in any form, notice or report 
or knowingly rendering inadequate any required monitoring device or 
method, as required by 40 CFR 70.11(a)(3)(iii) and 40 CFR 
63.91(d)(3)(i), EPA will continue to retain primary authority to 
implement and enforce these authorities. This is the basis for partial 
rather than full approval.

B. How Will This Partial Approval and Delegation Affect Regulated 
Community?

    Generally speaking, the transfer of authority from EPA to WDOH in 
this delegation changes EPA's role from primary implementer and 
enforcer to overseer. As a result, sources in Washington subject to the 
delegated Radionuclide NESHAPs should direct questions and compliance 
issues to WDOH. For authorities that are NOT delegated (those noted in 
Section III.A. above), affected sources should continue to work with 
EPA as their primary contact and submit materials directly to EPA. In 
such cases, affected sources should copy WDOH on all submittals, 
questions, and requests. EPA will continue to have primary 
responsibility to implement and enforce Federal regulations that do not 
have current state or local agency delegations.

C. Where Will the Regulated Community Send Notifications and Reports?

    Sources subject to the delegated NESHAPs will be required to send 
required notifications, reports and requests to WDOH for WDOH's action 
and to provide copies to EPA. For authorities that are excluded from 
this delegation, sources should continue to send required 
notifications, reports, and requests to EPA and to provide copies to 
WDOH.

D. What Are WDOH's Reporting Obligations?

    WDOH must maintain a record of all approved alternatives to all 
monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements and 
provide this list of alternatives to EPA at least semi-annually, or at 
a more frequent basis if requested by EPA. EPA may audit the WDOH-
approved alternatives and disapprove any that it determines are 
inappropriate, after discussion with WDOH. If changes are disapproved, 
WDOH must notify the source that it must revert to the original 
applicable monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, and/or reporting 
requirements (either those requirements of the original section 112 
requirements, the alternative requirements approved under 40 CFR part 
63, subpart A, or the previously approved site-specific alternative 
requirements). Also, in cases where the source does not maintain the 
conditions which prompted the approval of the alternatives to the 
monitoring testing, recordkeeping, and/or reporting requirements, WDOH 
must require the source to revert to the original monitoring, testing, 
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements, or more stringent 
requirements, if justified.

E. What Is the Effect of Other State Laws Regulating Radionuclide Air 
Emissions?

    This partial approval and delegation delegates to WDOH authority to 
implement and enforce 40 CFR part 61, subparts A, B, H, I, K, Q, R, T, 
and W, as in effect on July 1, 2004. The partial approval and 
delegation does not extend to any additional state standards, including 
other state standards regulating radionuclide air emissions. However, 
if both a State or local regulation and a Federal regulation apply to 
the same source, both must be complied with, regardless of whether the 
one is more stringent than the other, pursuant to the requirements of 
section 116 of the Clean Air Act.

F. Delegation of Newly Promulgated and Revised Radionuclide NESHAPs

    WDOH may receive partial approval and delegation of newly 
promulgated or revised Radionuclide NEHAPS by the following streamlined 
process: (1) WDOH will send a letter to EPA requesting delegation for 
such new or revised NESHAPs which WDOH has adopted by reference into 
Washington regulations; (2) EPA will send a letter of response back to 
WDOH granting partial approval of the delegation request (or explaining 
why EPA cannot grant the request), and publish only EPA's approval in 
the Federal Register; (3) WDOH does not need to send a response back to 
EPA.

G. How Will WDOH Receive Partial Approval and Delegation of Newly 
Promulgated and Revised Radionuclide NESHAPs?

    WDOH is not obligated to request or receive future delegations. 
However, EPA encourages WDOH, on an annual basis, to revise its rules 
to incorporate by reference newly promulgated or revised Radionuclide 
NESHAPs and request updated delegation. Preferably, WDOH should adopt 
Federal regulations effective July 1, of each year; this corresponds 
with the publication date of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).

H. How Will This Partial Approval and Delegation Affect Indian Country?

    This partial approval and delegation to WDOH to implement and 
enforce the

[[Page 32279]]

Radionuclide NESHAPs does not extend to sources or activities located 
in Indian country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. ``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. 
Consistent with previous Federal program approvals or delegations, EPA 
will continue to implement the NESHAPs in Indian country, because WDOH 
has not adequately demonstrated its authority over sources and 
activities located within the exterior boundaries of Indian 
reservations and other areas in Indian country.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    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).
    The 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). Consistent with EPA policy, however, EPA 
nonetheless initiated consultation with representatives of tribal 
governments in the process of developing this proposal to permit them 
to have meaningful and timely input into its development.
    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 request to receive 
delegation of certain Federal standards, 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 program approval and delegation submissions, EPA's 
role is to approve submissions 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 delegation submission for failure 
to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA 
to use VCS in place of a delegation 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 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 States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by August 4, 2006. 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)).
