Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations Update To Include New 
Jersey State Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing the update of the Outer Continental Shelf 
(OCS) Air Regulations proposed in the Federal Register on October 2, 
2009. Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of 
States' seaward boundaries must be promulgated and updated periodically 
to remain consistent with the requirements of the corresponding onshore 
area (COA), as mandated by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion of the 
OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the requirements 
for OCS sources in the State of New Jersey. The intended effect of 
approving the OCS requirements for the State of New Jersey is to 
regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance with the requirements 
onshore. The requirements discussed below are incorporated by reference 
into the Code of Federal Regulations and are listed in the appendix to 
the OCS air regulations.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on February 22, 2010.
    This incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in 
this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 
February 22, 2010.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID 
Number EPA-R02-OAR-2009-0680. All documents in the docket are listed on 
the http://www.regulations.gov Web site. Publicly available docket 
materials are available either electronically through http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 2, 290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007.

I. Background Information

    Throughout this document, the terms ``we,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' 
refer to the EPA.
    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 (AAQS) and to comply with the provisions of Part C of title I 
of the CAA. 40 CFR 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The reader may refer to the 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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On October 2, 2009 (74 FR 50939), EPA proposed to approve 
requirements into the OCS Air Regulations pertaining to the State of 
New Jersey. EPA has evaluated the proposed regulations 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 that they are not 
arbitrary or capricious. 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded 
administrative or procedural rules.
    Section 328(a) of the CAA 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 
rules in effect for onshore sources into 40 CFR part 55. This limits 
EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated 
into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive

[[Page 3618]]

changes to the requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be 
incorporating rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of 
EPA's state implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements 
of the CAA. Inclusion in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule meets 
the requirements of the CAA for SIP approval, nor does it imply that 
the rule will be approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.
    In preparing the Final rule, the following corrections were made to 
the list of requirements published on October 2, 2009, and are 
incorporated into this final publication:
    1. A section titled ``N.J.A.C. 7:27-21.6. Methods to be used for 
quantifying actual emissions'' is inserted at Subchapter 21of Chapter 
27. This insertion rectifies the unintended omission from that proposed 
rule. Subsequently, Subchapters 21.6, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, and 21.10 now 
read 21.7, 21.8, 21.9, 21.10, and 21.11, respectively.
    2. The title to Subchapter 31.6 has been edited to now read ``Use 
of allowances by former users of DER credits''.
    3. The word ``reserve'' has been removed from the title of N.J.A.C. 
7:27-31.8 which should read ``Claims for incentive allowances''.
    4. A section titled ``N.J.A.C. 7:27B-2.3. Observation principle'' 
is inserted at Subchapter 2 of Chapter 27B. This insertion rectifies 
the unintended omission from the proposed rule. Subsequently, 
Subchapters 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 now read 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6, respectively.

II. Public Comment and EPA Response

    EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period which 
closed on November 2, 2009. During this period EPA received no comments 
on the proposed action.

III. EPA Action

    In this document, EPA takes final action to incorporate the 
proposed changes into 40 CFR part 55. EPA is approving the proposed 
actions under section 328(a)(1) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7627. 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 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore.

IV. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from Executive Order 12866, entitled ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review.''

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    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.)

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.
    This rule will not have a significant economic impact on a 
substantial number of small entities. This rule implements requirements 
specifically and explicitly set forth by the Congress in section 328 of 
the CAA, 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 
CAA, this action simply incorporates the existing rules in the COA. 
Therefore, EPA certifies that this action will not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Under section 202 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
(Unfunded Mandates Act), signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA must 
prepare a budgetary impact statement to accompany any proposed or final 
rule that includes a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs 
to State, local, and tribal governments in the aggregate; or to the 
private sector, of $100 million or more in any one year. Under section 
205, EPA must select the most cost-effective and least burdensome 
alternative that achieves the objectives of the rule and is consistent 
with statutory requirements. Section 203 requires EPA to establish a 
plan for informing and advising any small governments that may be 
significantly or uniquely impacted by the rule.
    EPA has determined that today's final rule contains no Federal 
mandates 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. This action approves pre-existing 
requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new requirements. 
Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local or tribal governments, 
or to the private sector, result from this action.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Federalism (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999) revokes and replaces 
Executive Orders 12612 (Federalism) and 12875 (Enhancing the 
Intergovernmental Partnership). Executive Order 13132 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.'' Under Executive Order 13132, EPA may not issue a 
regulation that has federalism implications, that imposes substantial 
direct compliance costs, and that is not required by statute, unless 
the Federal Government provides the funds necessary to pay the direct 
compliance costs incurred by State and local governments, or EPA 
consults with State and local officials early in the process of 
developing the proposed regulation. EPA also may not issue a regulation 
that has federalism implications and that preempts State law unless the 
Agency consults with State and local officials early in the process of 
developing the proposed regulation.
    This rule 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, because it 
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. Thus, the 
requirements of section 6 of the Executive Order do not apply to this 
rule.

[[Page 3619]]

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 final rule does not have 
tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175. It will not 
have substantial direct effects on tribal governments, 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. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not 
apply to this rule.

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

    Executive Order 13045, entitled ``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 final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it 
does not involve decisions intended to mitigate environmental health or 
safety risks.

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

    This final rule is not subject to Executive Order 13211, entitled 
``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 (NTTAA) of 1995 requires Federal agencies to evaluate existing 
technical standards when developing a new regulation. To comply with 
NTTAA, EPA must consider and use voluntary consensus standards (VCS) if 
available and applicable when developing programs and policies unless 
doing so would be inconsistent with applicable laws or otherwise 
impractical.
    The EPA believes that VCS are inapplicable to this section. Today's 
action does not require the public to perform activities conducive to 
the use of VCS.

J. Congressional Review Act

    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 this 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). This action will be effective February 22, 2010.

K. Petition for Judicial Review

    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 23, 2010. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final action 
does not affect the finality of this action 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)).
