40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0141; FRL-9728-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Revisions to 
the Nevada State Implementation Plan; Stationary Source Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing a limited approval and limited disapproval 
of revisions to the applicable state implementation plan for the State 
of Nevada. The revisions include new or amended State rules governing 
applications for, and issuance of, permits for stationary sources, but 
not including review and permitting of major sources and major 
modifications under parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act. EPA 
is taking this action under the Clean Air Act obligation to take action 
on State submittals of revisions to state implementation plans. The 
intended effect of the limited approval and limited disapproval action 
is to update the applicable state implementation plan with current 
State rules with respect to permitting, and to set the stage for 
remedying deficiencies in the permitting rules with respect to certain 
new or revised national ambient air quality standards. This limited 
disapproval action would not trigger sanctions under section 179 of the 
Clean Air Act but does trigger an obligation on EPA to promulgate a 
Federal Implementation Plan unless the State of Nevada corrects the 
deficiencies, and EPA approves the related plan revisions, within two 
years of the final action.

DATES: Effective Date: This rule is effective on October 29, 2012.
    Docket: EPA has established docket number EPA-R09-OAR-2012-0141 for 
this action. The index to the docket for this action is available 
electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA Region 
IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California. While all documents 
in the docket are listed in the index, some information may be publicly 
available only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material), 
and some may not be publicly available at either location (e.g., CBI).

I. Proposed Action

A. Summary of Proposed Action and Description of SIP Submittals

    On June 28, 2012 (77 FR 38557), under section 110(k) of the Clean 
Air Act (CAA or ``Act''), EPA proposed a limited approval and limited 
disapproval of revisions to the Nevada State Implementation Plan (SIP). 
The revisions, which were submitted by the Nevada Division of 
Environmental Protection (NDEP) on January 24, 2011, include certain 
new or amended State rules [i.e., certain sections of Nevada 
Administrative Code (NAC)] that govern applications for, and issuance 
of, permits for stationary sources [a process referred to herein as 
``New Source Review'' (NSR) and rules referred to herein as ``NSR 
rules''].\1\ NDEP's January 24, 2011 submittal also includes a 
rescission of one definition from the existing SIP (the definition of 
``special mobile equipment'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We note that the stationary source permitting rules that are 
the subject of today's final rule are not intended to satisfy the 
requirements for pre-construction review and permitting of major 
sources or major modifications under part C (``Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration of air quality'') or part D (``Plan 
requirements for nonattainment areas'') of title I of the Clean Air 
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As described in our June 28, 2012 proposed rule (77 FR at 38557), 
on November 9, 2011, NDEP amended the January 24, 2011 submittal by 
replacing an NSR rule (NAC 445B.3457) that had been submitted on 
January 24, 2011 as a temporary regulation with the version of the rule 
that had been adopted by the State Environmental Commission (SEC) as a 
permanent regulation. On May 21, 2012, NDEP further amended the January 
24, 2011 submittal by submitting a small set of additional NSR-related 
rules (and one statutory definition), certain clarifications concerning 
the previously-submitted NSR rules, and documentation supporting the 
selection of emissions-based thresholds for triggering the public 
notice requirements for draft permits for certain source modifications.
    Table 1 below lists the rules (and one statutory definition) that 
were submitted by NDEP on January 24, 2011, November 9, 2011, and May 
21, 2012 and on which EPA is taking final limited approval and limited 
disapproval action in this document.

    In our proposed rule (77 FR 38557, at 38559), we discussed the 
regulatory history of the Nevada SIP and identified the existing Nevada

\2\ NDEP's NSR SIP retains certain nonattainment NSR provisions including the definition of the term, ``lowest
  achievable emission rate'' (LAER), and NAQR article 13.1.3(2) in the SIP. NAQR article 13.1.1 establishes an
  environmental evaluation (EE) requirement, and NAQR article 13.1.3(2) establishes the LAER requirement. LAER
  is defined to apply to applicants who are required to submit EEs, and such applicants are identified by
  emissions-based threshold values in article 13.2, 13.2.1, and 13.2.2, submitted on July 24, 1979 and approved
  on June 23, 1982 (47 FR 27070). Thus, the existing SIP definition for LAER, NAQR articles 13.1.1, 13.2,
  13.2.1, and 13.2.2 must be retained in the SIP to properly interpret and apply the major source nonattainment
  requirements in NAQR article 13.1.3(2).


[[Page 59324]]

    We also described the previous version of the State's NSR rules 
that we disapproved. See 73 FR 20536; (April 16, 2008). Our 2008 final 
disapproval of the previous version of the NSR rules provides the 
context for this rulemaking in that our evaluation of the re-submitted 
NSR rules focused on changes the State had made in response to the 
findings in our 2008 final rule.
    As discussed further below, in our proposed rule, we found that the 
State had adequately addressed all of the previously-identified 
deficiencies in the NSR rules but new deficiencies related to the new 
or revised PM2.5 and Pb national ambient air quality 
standards (NAAQS) prevent us from proposing a full approval of the 
rules. Therefore, we proposed a limited approval and limited 
disapproval of the submitted NSR rules. We did so based also on our 
finding that, while the rules did not meet all of the applicable 
requirements, the rules would represent an overall strengthening of SIP 
by clarifying and enhancing the NSR permitting requirements.

B. Resolution of Prior Deficiencies

    In our June 28, 2012 proposed rule, we found that State had adopted 
rule revisions or provided sufficient explanation and documentation to 
fully address the 10 specific deficiencies that we found in the rules 
as set forth in our April 2008 final rule.
    First, we concluded that new or amended rules submitted for 
approval, including NAC 445B.0423 (``Commence'' defined), NAC 445B.069 
(``Federally enforceable'' defined), NAC 445B.287, subsection (2) 
(Provision addressing the operating permit requirements for certain 
types of Class I sources), NRS 485.050 (``Motor vehicle'' defined), and 
NAC 445B.083 (``Good engineering practice stack height'' defined) 
adequately addressed the deficiencies related to the use of undefined 
terms or incorrect citations, the reliance on rules or statutory 
provisions that had not been submitted for approval as part of the SIP, 
or the confusion caused by submittal of multiple versions of the same 
rule.
    Second, we concluded that NAC 445B.138 (``Potential to emit'' 
defined), as amended, adequately addressed the deficiency in this 
definition related to the limits that qualify for treatment as part of 
a stationary source's design for the purposes of determining its 
potential to emit.
    Third, by amending NAC 445B.187 (``Stationary source'' defined) to 
delete the exclusion for ``special mobile equipment,'' the State 
Environmental Commission (SEC) adequately addressed the deficiency 
related to the necessary breadth of the definition of ``stationary 
source'' for NSR purposes.
    Fourth, we concluded that amendments to NAC 445B.313 (Method for 
determining heat input: Class I sources\3\) adequately addressed the 
deficiency related to the use of maximum heat input for applicability 
determination purposes with respect to combustion sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ EPA generally refers to stationary sources with potentials 
to emit 100 tons per year or more of criteria pollutants (those for 
which national ambient air quality standards have been promulgated, 
such as, e.g., ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter) as 
``major sources'' and such sources with potentials to emit less than 
100 tons per year as ``minor sources.'' Generally, speaking, the NSR 
program adopted by the Nevada SEC relies on the term ``class I'' 
sources to refer to ``major sources'' and ``class II'' and ``class 
III'' sources to refer to ``minor sources.'' In Nevada's NSR 
program, generally speaking, ``class III'' sources are non-exempt 
sources with potentials to emit of less than 5 tons per year of 
criteria pollutants, while ``class II'' sources are those sources 
that are covered under the NSR rules but that are neither ``class 
I'' or ``class III'' sources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Fifth, we concluded, based on NDEP's explanation, that NAC 445B.331 
(``Request for change of location of emission unit'') need not be 
amended to address the deficiency that we had identified previously.
    Sixth, we concluded that amendments to NAC 445B.3477 (``Class II 
general permit'') were adequate to resolve the deficiency related to 
public participation requirements for issuing such permits, and that, 
based on NDEP's explanation, no further amendments in the rule were 
necessary.
    Seventh, we concluded that amendments to NAC 445B.311 
(``Environmental evaluation: Required information'') adequately 
addressed the deficiency related to EPA approval for the use of a 
modification of, or substitution for, an EPA-approved model specified 
in appendix W of 40 CFR part 51.
    Eighth, we concluded that amendments to NAC 445B.3457 (``Action by 
Director on application; notice; public comment and hearing; expiration 
of permit'') adequately addressed the deficiencies related to public 
review of new or modified class II sources, notification to the air 
pollution control agencies for Washoe County or Clark County for class 
II sources proposed to be constructed or modified in Washoe County or 
Clark County, respectively, and public participation for new or 
modified sources of lead with potentials to emit 5 tons per year or 
more. In so concluding, we found that the emission-based thresholds 
that the SEC has established in NAC 445B.3457 to identify class II 
permit revisions that are subject to the public participation 
requirement were acceptable under 40 CFR 51.161 (``Public availability 
of information'') because we believed that the emissions-based 
thresholds represented well-defined objective criteria and because we 
found that the thresholds established in NAC 445B.3457 were reasonably 
calculated to exclude from mandatory public participation only less 
environmentally significant sources and modifications.
    In addition, with respect to public participation associated with 
permits for new class II sources and for class II modifications, we 
noted that the SEC also revised NAC 445B.3457 to provide for 
notification to the public through means (a state Web site and mailing 
list) other than through the traditional newspaper notice. We concluded 
that the requirement to provide the required notice by ``prominent 
advertisement'' in 40 CFR 51.161(b)(3) for new or modified minor 
sources (other than synthetic minor sources) is media neutral and can 
be met by means other than, or in combination with, the traditional 
newspaper notice.\4\ See Memorandum dated April 17, 2012 from Janet 
McCabe, Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator, EPA Office of Air and 
Radiation, to Regional Administrators, Regions 1-10, titled ``Minor New 
Source Review Program Public Notice Requirements under 40 CFR 
51.161(b)(3).'' With respect to NAC 445B.3457, we concluded that NDEP's 
provision for notification through an Internet Web site designed to 
give general public notice and through a mailing list developed to 
include individuals that have requested to be included on such a list, 
with one exception, satisfied the requirement to provide the public 
with notice through ``prominent advertisement'' in the area affected.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ As noted in footnote 3, above, ``minor sources'' are sources 
that have the potential to emit regulated NSR pollutants in amounts 
that are less than the applicable major source thresholds. Synthetic 
minor sources are those sources that have the potential to emit 
regulated NSR pollutants at or above the major source thresholds, 
but that have taken enforceable limitations to restrict their 
potential to emit below such thresholds.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We believed that notification of proposed permit actions for one 
category of sources, synthetic minor sources, i.e., sources that have 
taken enforceable limitations to restrict their potential to emit below 
major source thresholds, must be made through traditional means of 
notification (i.e., newspaper notice) and preferably, should be made 
through traditional and electronic means on the grounds that

[[Page 59325]]

such sources should be treated for public participation purposes as 
major sources for which such notice is required. See 40 CFR 
51.166(q)(2)(iii).
    While NAC 445B.3457 does not provide for traditional newspaper 
notice of class II sources that constitute synthetic minor sources, we 
concluded that the deficiency in Nevada's public notice requirements 
with respect to synthetic minor sources was not significant due to the 
limited potential number of synthetic minor sources that might not be 
subject to traditional (newspaper) notice under the State's NSR rules. 
Nonetheless, we recommended that the SEC amend the public notice 
regulations to ensure that the general public is notified of new 
synthetic minor sources by traditional (newspaper) means, at a minimum, 
or, preferably, in combination with electronic means.
    Ninth, we concluded that the deficiencies in the affirmative 
defense provision in NAC 445B.326 (``Operating permits: Assertion of 
emergency as affirmative defense to action for noncompliance'') were 
moot for the purposes of this rulemaking because NDEP did not include 
NAC 445B.326 in the revise sets of NSR rules submitted to EPA for 
action as a SIP revision.
    Lastly, we concluded that the amendments to NAC 445B.308 
(``Prerequisites and conditions for issuance of certain operating 
permits; compliance with applicable state implementation plan'') 
adequately addressed the deficiencies by appropriately limiting the 
Director's discretion to approve any permit for any source where the 
degree of emission limitation required is affected by that amount of 
the stack height as exceeds good engineering practice stack height or 
any other dispersion technique.
    In conclusion, based on our point-by-point evaluation of the 
previous deficiencies in the previously-submitted NSR rules, we found 
that Nevada had adequately addressed all of the previously-identified 
deficiencies by submittal of appropriately amended rules and supporting 
documentation. Please see our June 28, 2012 proposed rule at pages 
38560 to 38563 for additional discussion of our evaluation and 
conclusions concerning the resolution of the previously-identified 
deficiencies in the NSR rules.

C. New Deficiencies

    While we believed that Nevada had adequately addressed the 
previously-identified deficiencies in the NSR rules, we found in our 
June 28, 2012 proposed rule that the State's NSR rules fail to address 
certain new requirements that were not in effect in 2008 when EPA last 
took action on them.
    Under 40 CFR 51.160, in connection with NSR, each SIP must set 
forth legally enforceable procedures that enable the State or local 
agency to determine whether the construction or modification of a 
facility, building, structure or installation or combination of these 
will result in, among other impacts, interference with attainment or 
maintenance of a national standard in the state in which the proposed 
source (or modification) is located or in a neighboring State. In our 
June 28, 2012 proposed rule, we concluded that the NSR rules did not 
meet the requirements of 40 CFR 51.160 with respect to the 
PM2.5 NAAQS and the lead (Pb) NAAQS.
    With respect to PM2.5, we recognized that NDEP had 
submitted ``infrastructure'' SIPs \5\ to address the PM2.5 
NAAQS and that, in those SIPs, NDEP indicated that NSR requirements for 
the PM2.5 NAAQS were to be met by evaluating new and 
modified sources for compliance with the PM10 standard. At 
the time these infrastructure SIPs were submitted, EPA's policy allowed 
States to permit new or modified PM2.5 sources using the 
PM10 NSR program requirements as a surrogate for 
PM2.5.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ ``Infrastructure'' SIPs refer to SIPs submitted in response 
to EPA's promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS and include 
provisions necessary to comply with the SIP content requirements set 
forth in CAA section 110(a)(2), other than those arising from 
designation of any area within a state as ``nonattainment'' for the 
new or amended NAAQS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We also recognized that we did not take timely action on the 
PM2.5 ``infrastructure'' SIP submittals, and, as a result of 
the passage of time, the ``surrogate'' policy has lapsed (since May 16, 
2011). As a result, States must now evaluate PM2.5 emissions 
from new or modified sources directly to determine whether such sources 
would violate the 24-hour (35 [micro]g/m\3\) or annual (15 [micro]g/
m\3\) PM2.5 standards. See 40 CFR 51.166(a)(6)(i) and 73 FR 
28321, at 28344; (May 16, 2008). The submitted NSR rules evaluated 
herein do not yet address PM2.5, and given the now current 
requirements for PM2.5 and the lapse of the surrogate 
policy, we concluded in our proposed rule that we cannot now fully 
approve the submitted NSR rules.
    With respect to lead (Pb), we recognized that NDEP submitted an 
infrastructure SIP on October 12, 2011 to address the 2008 Pb NAAQS and 
that we have not yet taken action on it. Furthermore, we recognize 
that, at the time NDEP submitted the Pb ``infrastructure'' SIP, the 
deadline for States to submit the necessary NSR-related changes to 
address the 2008 Pb NAAQS had not yet passed. Now, however, with the 
passage of time, the deadline for such NSR-related changes has passed, 
and we must evaluate the submitted NSR requirements against the now-
current NSR requirements. Thus, similar to the approach we are taking 
for PM2.5, we find that the submitted NSR rules do not 
address the new rolling 3-month average Pb NAAQS (0.15 [micro]g/m\3\) 
and thus we concluded that we cannot now fully approve the submitted 
NSR rules. See 73 FR 66964, 67034-67041; (November 12, 2008).
    Lastly, we concluded in our proposed rule that the State 
Environmental Commission must revise the NSR rules to ensure protection 
of the PM2.5 and Pb NAAQS in the issuance of permits for new 
or modified sources or EPA must promulgate a FIP within two years of 
final action.
    For more information about our evaluation concerning the new 
deficiencies, please see the June 28, 2012 proposed rule at pages 
38563-38564.

II. Public Comment on Proposed Action

    EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period. 
During this period, we received one comment letter, a letter from the 
Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP), dated July 27, 
2012. In the July 27, 2012 letter, NDEP expresses general support for 
EPA's limited approval of the updated NSR rules noting that it results 
in a significant update of the permitting provisions in Nevada 
applicable SIP. EPA appreciates NDEP's significant efforts to fully 
address the deficiencies EPA identified in the previous submittals.

III. Final Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the rules 
as described in our proposed action. Therefore, pursuant to sections 
110(k) and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act, and for the reasons provided 
above and in our proposed rule, EPA is finalizing a limited approval 
and limited disapproval of revisions to the Nevada SIP that govern 
applications for, and issuance of, permits for stationary sources under 
the jurisdiction of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, 
excluding review and permitting of major sources and major 
modifications under parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act. 
Specifically, EPA is finalizing limited approval and limited 
disapproval of the new or amended sections of the Nevada Administrative 
Code (and one section of the Nevada Revised Statutes) listed in

[[Page 59326]]

table 1 above as a revision to the Nevada SIP.
    EPA is taking this action because, although we find that the new or 
amended rules meet most of the applicable requirements for such NSR 
programs and that the SIP revisions improve the existing SIP, we have 
also found certain deficiencies that prevent full approval. Namely, the 
submitted NSR rules do not address the new or revised national ambient 
air quality standards for PM2.5 and lead (Pb) and must be 
revised accordingly.
    The intended effect of this limited approval and limited 
disapproval action is to update the applicable state implementation 
plan with current State rules with respect to permitting,\6\ and to set 
the stage for remedying deficiencies in the permitting rules with 
respect to new or revised national ambient air quality standards for 
PM2.5 and Pb. This limited disapproval action does not 
trigger mandatory sanctions under section 179 of the Clean Air Act 
because sanctions apply to nonattainment areas and no areas within the 
State of Nevada have been designated as nonattainment for the national 
PM2.5 or Pb standards. However, this limited disapproval 
action does trigger an obligation on EPA to promulgate a Federal 
Implementation Plan unless the State of Nevada corrects the 
deficiencies, and EPA approves the related plan revisions within two 
years of this final action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Final approval of the rules (and statutory provision) in 
table 1 supersedes the rules listed in table 2, above, in the 
existing Nevada SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12988, Regulatory Planning and Review

    The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has exempted this 
regulatory action from Executive Order 128665, entitled ``Regulatory 
Planning and Review.''

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. 
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

C. Regulatory Reduction 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 impact on a substantial 
number of small entities because SIP approvals or disapprovals under 
section 110 of the Clean Air Act do not create any new requirements but 
simply approve or disapprove requirements that the State is already 
imposing. Therefore, because this limited approval/limited disapproval 
action does not create any new requirements, I certify that this action 
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. Moreover, due to the nature of the Federal-State 
relationship under the Clean Air Act, preparation of flexibility 
analysis would constitute Federal inquiry into the economic 
reasonableness of State action. The Clean Air Act forbids EPA to base 
its actions concerning SIPs on such grounds. Union Electric Co., v. 
U.S. EPA, 427 U.S. 246, 255-66 (1976); 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2).

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, or tribal governments in the aggregate; or to 
the private sector, of $100 million or more. 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 this limited approval/limited disapproval 
action does not include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated 
costs of $100 million or more to either State, local, or tribal 
governments in the aggregate, or to the private sector. This Federal 
action takes a limited approval/limited disapproval action on 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 takes a limited approval/limited disapproval action on State 
rules 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.

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 
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

[[Page 59327]]

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

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or 
safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of 
the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This 
rule is not subject to Executive Order 13045, because it takes a 
limited approval/limited disapproval action on State rules implementing 
a Federal standard.

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

    This 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 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 law or otherwise 
impractical.
    EPA believes that VCS are inapplicable to this action. Today's 
action does not require the public to perform activities conducive to 
the use of VCS.

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

    Executive Order (EO) 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 rulemaking. In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is 
to approve or disapprove state choices, based on the criteria of the 
Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action merely takes a limited 
approval/limited disapproval action on certain State requirements for 
inclusion into the SIP under section 110 of the Clean Air Act and will 
not in-and-of itself create any new requirements. Accordingly, it does 
not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as 
appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, 
using practicable and legally permissible methods, under Executive 
Order 12898.

K. 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 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).

L. Petitions 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 November 26, 2012. 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)).
