40 CFR Part 55

[OAR-2004-0091; FRL-8768-8]


Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations; Consistency Update for 
California

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'').

ACTION: Proposed rule--Consistency Update.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to update a portion of the Outer Continental 
Shelf (``OCS'') Air Regulations. Requirements applying to OCS sources 
located within 25 miles of States' seaward boundaries must be updated 
periodically to remain consistent with the requirements of the 
corresponding onshore area (``COA''), as mandated by section 328(a)(1) 
of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (``the Act''). The portions of 
the OCS air regulations that are being updated pertain to the 
requirements for OCS sources by the Ventura County Air Pollution 
Control District (Ventura County APCD). The intended effect of 
approving the OCS requirements for the Ventura County APCD is to 
regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements 
onshore. The change to the existing requirements discussed below is 
proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal 
Regulations and is listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.

DATES: Any comments must arrive by April 16, 2009.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number OAR-2004-0091, 
by one of the following methods:

I. Background Information

Why is EPA taking this action?

    On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which 
established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in 
order to attain and maintain federal and state ambient air quality 
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the 
Act. Part 55 applies to all OCS sources offshore of the States except 
those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. 
Section 328 of the Act requires that for such sources located within 25 
miles of a State's seaward boundary, the requirements shall be the same 
as would be applicable if the sources were located

[[Page 11331]]

in the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on onshore 
requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section 328(a)(1) 
requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain 
consistency with onshore requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The reader may refer to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 
December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63774), and the preamble to the final rule 
promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792) for further background 
and information on the OCS regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to Sec.  55.12 of the OCS rule, consistency reviews will 
occur (1) At least annually; (2) upon receipt of a Notice of Intent 
under Sec.  55.4; or (3) when a state or local agency submits a rule to 
EPA to be considered for incorporation by reference in part 55. This 
proposed action is being taken in response to requirements submitted by 
the Ventura County APCD. Public comments received in writing within 30 
days of publication of this document will be considered by EPA before 
publishing a final rule. Section 328(a) of the Act requires that EPA 
establish requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources 
located within 25 miles of States' seaward boundaries that are the same 
as onshore requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA 
must incorporate applicable onshore rules into part 55 as they exist 
onshore. This limits EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements 
will be incorporated into part 55 and prevents EPA from making 
substantive changes to the requirements it incorporates. As a result, 
EPA may be incorporating rules into part 55 that do not conform to all 
of EPA's state implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain 
requirements of the Act. Consistency updates may result in the 
inclusion of state or local rules or regulations into part 55, even 
though the same rules may ultimately be disapproved for inclusion as 
part of the SIP. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule 
meets the requirements of the Act for SIP approval, nor does it imply 
that the rule will be approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

II. EPA's Evaluation

A. What criteria were used to evaluate rules submitted to update 40 CFR 
part 55?

    In updating 40 CFR part 55, EPA reviewed the rules submitted for 
inclusion in part 55 to ensure that they are rationally related to the 
attainment or maintenance of federal or state ambient air quality 
standards or part C of title I of the Act, that they are not designed 
expressly to prevent exploration and development of the OCS and that 
they are applicable to OCS sources. 40 CFR 55.1. EPA has also evaluated 
the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR 
55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded administrative or procedural 
rules,\2\ and requirements that regulate toxics which are not related 
to the attainment and maintenance of federal and state ambient air 
quality standards.

B. What requirements were submitted to update 40 CFR part 55?

    1. After review of the requirements submitted by the Ventura County 
APCD against the criteria set forth above and in 40 CFR part 55, EPA is 
proposing to make the following District requirements applicable to OCS 
sources:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                            Adoption or
         Rule No.                       Name               amended date
------------------------------------------------------------------------
72.......................  New Source Performance                 9/9/08
                            Standards (NSPS).
73.......................  National Emissions Standards           9/9/08
                            for Hazardous Air Pollutants
                            (NESHAPS).
230......................  Notice to Comply.............          9/9/08
------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735 (October 4, 1993)), the 
Agency must determine whether the regulatory action is ``significant'' 
and therefore subject to Office of Management and Budget (``OMB'') 
review and the requirements of the Executive Order. The Order defines 
``significant regulatory action'' as one that is likely to result in a 
rule that may:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each COA which has been delegated the authority to implement 
and enforce part 55, will use its administrative and procedural 
rules as onshore. However, in those instances where EPA has not 
delegated authority to implement and enforce part 55, EPA will use 
its own administrative and procedural requirements to implement the 
substantive requirements. 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) Have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million or more or 
adversely affect in a material way the economy, a sector of the 
economy, productivity, competition, jobs, the environment, public 
health or safety, or State, local, or tribal governments or 
communities;
    (2) Create a serious inconsistency or otherwise interfere with an 
action taken or planned by another agency;
    (3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of entitlements, grants, 
user fees, or loan programs or the rights and obligations of recipients 
thereof; or
    (4) Raise novel legal or policy issues arising out of legal 
mandates, the President's priorities, or the principles set forth in 
the Executive Order.
    This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the 
terms of Executive Order 12866 and is therefore not subject to OMB 
Review. These rules implement requirements specifically and explicitly 
set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without 
the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already 
apply in the COA, and EPA has no evidence to suggest that these OCS 
rules have created an adverse material effect. As required by section 
328 of the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the existing OCS 
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    The OMB has approved the information collection requirements 
contained in 40 CFR part 55, and by extension this update to the rules, 
under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq. and has assigned OMB control number 2060-0249. Notice of OMB's 
approval of EPA Information Collection Request (``ICR'') No. 1601.06 
was published in the Federal Register on March 1, 2006 (71 FR 10499-
10500). The approval expires January 31, 2009. As EPA previously 
indicated (70 FR 65897-65898 (November 1, 2005)), the annual public 
reporting and recordkeeping burden for collection of information under 
40 CFR part 55 is estimated to average 549 hours per response. Burden 
means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by 
persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 
information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed 
to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize 
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and 
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and 
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to 
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; 
search data sources; complete and review the collection of

[[Page 11332]]

information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on 
the form and/or instrument, if applicable. In addition, EPA is amending 
the table in 40 CFR part 9 of currently approved OMB control numbers 
for various regulations to list the regulatory citations for the 
information requirements contained in this final rule.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency 
to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to 
notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency certifies 
that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small 
businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental 
jurisdictions.
    These rules will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. These rules implement 
requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in 
section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of any policy 
discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already apply in the COA, and EPA 
has no evidence to suggest that these OCS rules have had a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As required 
by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the 
existing OCS requirements to make them consistent with rules in the 
COA. Therefore, I certify that this action will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (``UMRA''), 
Public Law 104-4, establishes requirements for Federal agencies to 
assess the effects of their regulatory actions on State, local, and 
tribal governments and the private sector. Under section 202 of the 
UMRA, EPA generally must prepare a written statement, including a cost-
benefit analysis, for proposed and final rules with ``Federal 
mandates'' that may result in expenditures to State, local, and tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, of $100 
million or more in any one year. Before promulgating an EPA rule for 
which a written statement is needed, section 205 of the UMRA generally 
requires EPA to identify and consider a reasonable number of regulatory 
alternatives and adopt the least costly, most cost-effective or least 
burdensome alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule. The 
provisions of section 205 do not apply when they are inconsistent with 
applicable law. Moreover, section 205 allows EPA to adopt an 
alternative other than the least costly, most cost-effective or least 
burdensome alternative if the Administrator publishes with the final 
rule an explanation why that alternative was not adopted.
    Before EPA establishes any regulatory requirements that may 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, including tribal 
governments, it must have developed under section 203 of the UMRA a 
small government agency plan. The plan must provide for notifying 
potentially affected small governments, enabling officials of affected 
small governments to have meaningful and timely input in the 
development of EPA regulatory proposals with significant Federal 
intergovernmental mandates, and informing, educating, and advising 
small governments on compliance with the regulatory requirements. 
Today's proposed rules contain no Federal mandates (under the 
regulatory provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for State, local, or 
tribal governments or the private sector that may result in 
expenditures of $100 million or more for State, local, or tribal 
governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in any one 
year. These rules implement requirements specifically and explicitly 
set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act without 
the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. These OCS rules already 
apply in the COA, and EPA has no evidence to suggest that these OCS 
rules have created an adverse material effect. As required by section 
328 of the Clean Air Act, this action simply updates the existing OCS 
requirements to make them consistent with rules in the COA.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Orders 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255 
(August 10, 1999)), requires EPA to develop an accountable process to 
ensure ``meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in 
the development of regulatory policies that have federalism 
implications.'' ``Policies that have federalism implications'' is 
defined in the Executive Order to include regulations that 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.''
    This proposed rule does not have federalism implications. It will 
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. These rules implement 
requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in 
section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of any policy 
discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, 
this rule simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them consistent 
with current COA requirements. These rules do not amend the existing 
provisions within 40 CFR part 55 enabling delegation of OCS regulations 
to a COA, and this rule does not require the COA to implement the OCS 
rules. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.
    In the spirit of Executive Order 13132, and consistent with EPA 
policy to promote communications between EPA and state and local 
governments, EPA specifically solicits comments on this proposed rule 
from State and local officials.

F. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination 
with Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), 
requires EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful 
and timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory 
policies that have tribal implications.'' This rule does not have a 
substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the 
relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
government and Indian tribes and thus does not have ``tribal 
implications,'' within the meaning of Executive Order 13175. This rule 
implements requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the 
Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of 
any policy discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the Clean 
Air Act, this rule simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them 
consistent with current COA requirements. In addition, this rule does 
not impose substantial direct compliance costs tribal governments, nor 
preempt tribal law. Consultation with Indian tribes is therefore not 
required under Executive

[[Page 11333]]

Order 13175. Nonetheless, in the spirit of Executive Order 13175 and 
consistent with EPA policy to promote communications between EPA and 
tribes, EPA specifically solicits comments on this proposed rule from 
tribal officials.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    Executive Order 13045: ``Protection of Children From Environmental 
Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 19885 (April 23, 1997)), applies 
to any rule that: (1) Is determined to be ``economically significant'' 
as defined under Executive Order 12866, and (2) concerns an 
environmental health or safety risk that EPA has reason to believe may 
have a disproportionate effect on children. If the regulatory action 
meets both criteria, the Agency must evaluate the environmental health 
or safety effects of the planned rule on children, and explain why the 
planned regulation is preferable to other potentially effective and 
reasonably feasible alternatives considered by the Agency.
    This proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because 
it is not economically significant as defined in Executive Order 12866. 
In addition, the Agency does not have reason to believe the 
environmental health or safety risks addressed by this action present a 
disproportional risk to children.

H. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This proposed rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, 
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy 
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001) because it 
is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, 12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) 
directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its regulatory 
activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with applicable laws 
or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards are technical 
standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods, sampling 
procedures, and business practices) that are developed or adopted by 
voluntary consensus standards bodies. The NTTAA directs EPA to provide 
Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decided not to use 
available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    As discussed above, these rules implement requirements specifically 
and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of the Clean 
Air Act, without the exercise of any policy discretion by EPA. As 
required by section 328 of the Clean Air Act, this rule simply updates 
the existing OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA 
requirements. In the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
state to use voluntary consensus standards and in light of the fact 
that EPA is required to make the OCS rules consistent with current COA 
requirements, it would be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA to 
use voluntary consensus standards in this action. Therefore, EPA is not 
considering the use of any voluntary consensus standards. EPA welcomes 
comments on this aspect of the proposed rulemaking and, specifically, 
invites the public to identify potentially-applicable voluntary 
consensus standards and to explain why such standards should be used in 
this regulation.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental 
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes 
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision 
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and 
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission 
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high 
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs, 
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income 
populations in the United States. EPA lacks the discretionary authority 
to address environmental justice in this proposed action. This rule 
implements requirements specifically and explicitly set forth by the 
Congress in section 328 of the Clean Air Act, without the exercise of 
any policy discretion by EPA. As required by section 328 of the Clean 
Air Act, this rule simply updates the existing OCS rules to make them 
consistent with current COA requirements.
    Although EPA lacks authority to modify today's regulatory decision 
on the basis of environmental justice considerations, EPA nevertheless 
explored this issue and found the following. This action, namely, 
updating the OCS rules to make them consistent with current COA 
requirements, will not have disproportionately high and adverse human 
health or environmental effects on minority or low-income populations 
because it increases the level of environmental protection for all 
affected populations without having any disproportionately high and 
adverse human health or environmental effects on any population, 
including any minority or low-income population. Environmental justice 
considerations may be appropriate to consider in the context of a 
specific OCS permit application.
