Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Oklahoma
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Oklahoma as
proposed on March 22, 2018, and October 5, 2018. The revisions
submitted by Oklahoma were contained in annual SIP updates for 2013,
2014, 2015, and 2016, and incorporate the latest changes to the EPA
regulations. The overall intended outcome of this rulemaking is to make
the approved Oklahoma SIP consistent with current Federal and State
requirements. We are taking this action in accordance with the federal
Clean Air Act (CAA, the Act).
DATES: This rule is effective on September 3, 2019.

I. Background
The background for this action is discussed in detail in the March
22, 2018 (83 FR 12514) Proposal.\1\ After the close of the comment
period, the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ)
submitted additional information by letter dated July 31, 2018
(hereinafter ``ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter''),\2\ concerning the SIP
rule revisions addressed in the March 22, 2018 Proposal. The
information submitted by ODEQ was intended to clarify the rule
revisions and their applicability as well as to further demonstrate how
the revisions improve the Oklahoma SIP. On October 5, 2018, we
published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (SNPR) \3\ at 83
FR 50312. The October 5, 2018 SNPR reopened the comment period based on
the information submitted by Oklahoma and our analysis of it. We also
withdrew the proposed action concerning Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration Units because the State did not submit it for
approval as a SIP revision. The Proposal, the SNPR, the Technical
Support Document (TSD),\4\ and Supplement 3 to the TSD \5\ provide a
detailed description and rationale for EPA's proposal to approve into
the Oklahoma SIP certain revisions to Oklahoma Administrative Code
(OAC) Title 252 Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ), Chapter 100
Air Pollution Control (OAC:252:100) that Oklahoma submitted to the EPA
on February 14, 2017. Specifically, the Proposal and the SNPR concern
revisions to OAC:252:100 Subchapters 13 Open Burning, 17 Incinerators,
25 Visible Emissions and Particulates, 31 Control of Emission of Sulfur
Compounds, Appendix E Primary Ambient Air Quality Standards, and
Appendix F Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards. The criteria used
to evaluate these SIP revisions are found primarily in section 110 of
the Act.

II. Public Comments
We received 19 comments on the March 22, 2018 (83 FR 12514)
Proposal during the comment period that closed on April 23, 2018, and
all comments are available in docket for this action. Eighteen of the
19 comments were submitted anonymously and did not provide information
relevant or specific to the provisions proposed for approval into the
Oklahoma SIP. Upon review, the EPA determined that the 18 anonymous
comments merit no further response or discussion.\6\ The remaining
comment, submitted by the Sierra Club and the Center for Biological
Diversity (commenters), included relevant comments on the March 22,
2018 (83 FR
[[Page 37580]]
12514) Proposal.\7\ Primarily, the commenters assert that sections
110(l) and 193 of the Act have not been satisfied, and that revisions
to OAC:252:100 Subchapters 13, 17, 25, and 31 of the Oklahoma SIP
should not be approved. A summary of those comments and our responses
are found below. We did not receive comments on the October 5, 2018 (83
FR 50312) SNPR during the additional comment period that closed on
November 5, 2018.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment 1: OAC 252:100, Subchapter 13--Open Burning. The commenters
note that the revisions would exempt hydrocarbon waste flaring and the
use of air curtain incinerators from the open burning time limitations
in OAC 252:100:13-9(4) of the existing SIP. Commenters claim that these
revisions allow flaring operations and air curtain incinerators to
operate an average of 18 more hours per day than allowed under the
existing SIP and thus allow dramatically increased emissions of
particulate matter, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and
possibly sulfur compounds, including sulfur dioxide. Commenters
maintain that the revision constitutes a SIP relaxation requiring a CAA
section 110(l) analysis (subject to public notice and opportunity for
public comment) of the impacts of the revision on the NAAQS and PSD
increments, and a determination that the SIP relaxation will not
interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the NAAQS and PSD
increments. Finally, commenters note that the EPA must ensure that the
requirements in CAA section 193 (relating to equivalent emission
reductions) are being met.
Response: The February 14, 2017 submittal included revisions to OAC
252:100-9(4) that exempt open burning allowed under OAC 252:100-13-
7(6)(B) (concerning hydrocarbon waste flaring) and OAC 252:100-13-8
(concerning air curtain incinerators) from the time restrictions
otherwise applicable to open burning. As noted in ODEQ's July 31, 2018
Letter, the rule only requires that initial burning begin in the time
frame of 3 hours after sunrise to 3 hours before sunset. Open burning
is allowed outside of this timeframe so long as no additional fuel is
added.
The revisions to OAC 252:100-9(4) exempt hydrocarbon waste flaring
under OAC 252:100-13-7(6)(B) from the time restrictions associated with
open burning. Pages 1-2 of ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter read:
As discussed in the Air Quality Advisory Council (AQAC)
transcripts included in the SIP submittal, DEQ recognized the need
to correct the omission of the exemption for hydrocarbon flaring,
and a new version of Subchapter 13 with the exemption was taken to
the AQAC in 2003 and 2004, and approved by the Environmental Quality
Board (EQB) in 2004. There are many continuous processes that use
flares as a control device, and for those processes that cannot be
turned off, the flare must be used continuously. If the flare is
turned off, it could cause an air quality issue or a safety hazard.
Many of these flares are also included in facility permits with the
requirement to be operated continuously to reduce emissions. Many of
these same flares are also subject to regulation under federal New
Source Performance Standards (NSPSs) or National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs), which require them to
operate continuously. DEQ never intended hydrocarbon flaring to be
subject to the operational time limitations in Subchapter 13, and
enforcement of such limitations would conflict with the state and
federal requirements discussed above. In addition, the proposed
revision to Subchapter 13 would not result in any increase in
emissions and would not interfere with any NAAQS or PSD increment.
We agree with ODEQ's conclusion that time limits on the operation
of hydrocarbon flares are inappropriate and, if actually implemented,
could cause a life or safety hazard and result in an increase in
emissions of hydrocarbons while the flare is not in use. As such, the
removal of the operating time restriction would reduce emissions of
VOCs, if one assumes the restrictions had been enforced. However, as
ODEQ notes, the restriction on hydrocarbon flaring could not have been
practically enforced without introducing life or safety hazards. As
such, the time limits on the operation of hydrocarbon flares could not
have been implemented and, in fact, have never been implemented because
they are inconsistent with several state and federal requirements, as
noted above. Removing the time restriction is not expected to result in
any actual change in emissions, and, therefore, its removal will not
increase emissions or interfere with attainment or PSD increments.
The other exemption from the open burning time restriction included
in the proposed SIP revision of OAC 252:100-13-9(4) concerns the use of
air curtain incinerators (ACIs) under OAC 252:100-13-8. As noted in
ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter, the use of ACIs under OAC 252:100-13-8 is
limited to ``combustible material or refuse that is allowed to be
burned under this Chapter (emphasis added).'' In addition, ODEQ's July
31, 2018 Letter at page 2 notes:
DEQ exempted open burning using an ACI from the time limitation
because an ACI is a control device that reduces the pollution
created by open burning. ACIs are also a safer means of reducing
waste by lowering the risk of escaped fires and embers. As compared
to open burning without ACIs, an ACI reduces air pollution by about
90%, and specifically particulate matter by 97%, greatly reducing
the probability of creating an air quality hazard or nuisance. One
of the reasons DEQ eliminated the time restriction on the use of an
ACI was to remove a barrier for anyone who could, to use an ACI.
Please note the use of an ACI for any day where an Ozone or PM watch
has been declared in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or county
is prohibited in OAC 252:100-13-9(5). It is also very important to
note that the volume of materials being burned would not change
based on this rule revision. However, the use of an ACI to burn that
same volume, regardless of the time of day, would result in fewer
emissions released to the environment. As such, the proposed
revision to Subchapter 13 promotes a better pollution control
measure which would neither result in any increase in emissions nor
interfere with any NAAQS or PSD increment.
The EPA finds ODEQ's conclusion that the volume of material being
burned would not change based on this rule revision is reasonable. In
considering the allowed open burning activities listed in OAC 252:100-
13-7, there is no reason to believe that removal of barriers to air
curtain incinerators will result in more material being burned. For
example, the EPA sees no reason, and the commenter provided no reason
to expect, that more land would need clearing--an activity for which
open burning is allowed under OAC 252:100-13-7(4)--due to the lifting
of the time restrictions otherwise applicable to open burning for this
activity. Instead, it is expected that if more air curtain incinerators
are used relative to open burning, the air curtains would provide more
efficient combustion and, as a result, less pollution. We also note
that open burning of refuse and other combustible material may occur
only if the burning is conducted so that the contaminants do not
adversely affect the ambient air quality of a city or town. See OAC
252:100-13-9 (3). Open burning of refuse and other combustible material
may occur only if no public nuisance is or will be created, and the
burning is controlled so that a visibility hazard is not created on any
roadway, rail track or air field as a result of the air contaminants
being emitted. See OAC 252:100-13-9(1) and (2), respectively. Also, use
of an ACI is prohibited for any day where an Ozone or PM watch has been
declared by ODEQ in a Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) or county.
See OAC 252:100-13-9(5). Furthermore, persons who conduct open burning
in accordance with the provisions of Subchapter 13 are not exempt or
excused from the
[[Page 37581]]
consequences, damages, or injuries that may result from such conduct,
nor are they exempt or excused from complying with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, and orders. See OAC 252:100-13-11.
Finally, we note that the requirements of CAA section 193 are
inapplicable to the proposed revision to the Oklahoma SIP discussed
above. In confirmation of the statement in ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter
that ``Oklahoma has never relied upon Subchapter 13 as a control
measure for any nonattainment plans adopted before November 15, 1990,''
we searched the EPA's Greenbook site for the Designated Area Design
Values for NAAQS of 1987 PM10, 1971 SO2, 1978 Pb,
1971 CO, and 1971 NO2, and did not find information
concerning any pre-November 15, 1990 nonattainment plan in place for
these criteria pollutants in Oklahoma. See the chart \8\ on page 5 of
Supplement 3 to TSD. We believe that the additional information
provided in ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter and presented above supports
approval of the revisions to OAC 252:100-13-9(4) and that such
revisions would not interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment or any other applicable requirement of the Clean
Air Act.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
With respect to commenters concern regarding the opportunity for
public comment on our analysis, we note that ODEQ's July 31, 2018
Letter was made available to the public as part of the October 5, 2018
SNPR. See document ID Nos. EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0145-0026 and EPA-R06-OAR-
2017-0145-0023, respectively, at www.regulations.gov. The public was
provided an opportunity to comment on the contents of ODEQ's letter and
our analysis of it. Additionally, our Supplement 3 to TSD, prepared in
conjunction with our publication of the supplemental notice, was also
made available in the docket on October 5, 2018. See document ID. No.
EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0145-0024. In the SNPR, the EPA notes that it is
``reopening the comment period based on information submitted by
Oklahoma in a letter dated July 31, 2018, and our analysis of it.'' (83
FR 50312, October 5, 2018). Thus, through the supplemental notice, the
EPA provided a fulsome opportunity for public comment on the additional
information relevant to EPA's CAA section 110(l) analysis. The EPA did
not receive comments on its October 5, 2018 supplemental notice action.
For the reasons explained above, no changes have been made to the
proposed approval of this rule revision as a result of this comment.
Comment 2: OAC 252:100-17--Incinerators. Commenters note that the
revisions would exclude New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) subpart
AAAA \9\ and subpart CCCC \10\ sources from the incinerator
requirements in OAC 252:100-17 (Subchapter 17) of the existing SIP.
Commenters assert that neither the EPA nor Oklahoma provided any
analysis to show that the NSPS requirements are as stringent as the
Oklahoma Subchapter 17 requirements. Commenters note that Subchapter 17
imposes particulate matter limits that do not include any exemptions
for startup and shutdown, while the emission limits in NSPS subpart
AAAA do not apply during startup, shutdown or malfunction (40 CFR
60.1220). Commenters claim this SIP revision requires a CAA section
110(l) analysis to ensure any emission increases resulting from the
revision would not adversely impact compliance with the NAAQS or PSD
increments. The commenter also asserts that the EPA has not compared
the emission limits in NSPS subparts AAAA and CCCC to Subchapter 17 to
ensure that the SIP revision will not result in relaxing emission
limits that apply to these sources under the current SIP, including the
particulate matter requirements for fuel-burning units pursuant to OAC
252:100-17-1.3 and 252:100-19 of the existing SIP that apply to
incinerators that also generate useful heat energy.

\10\ 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC--Standards of Performance for
Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Response: As the commenters correctly note, the February 14, 2017
submittal includes a revision to OAC 252:100-17-2 which adds NSPS
subpart AAAA and NSPS subpart CCCC to the list of sources exempt from
the requirements applicable to general purpose incinerators. As stated
on page 2 of ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter,
It has always been DEQ's intention that Part 3 of Subchapter 17
apply to general purpose incinerators that are not otherwise covered
by a more specific and applicable state or federal regulation. The
addition of NSPS Subpart AAAA and CCCC to the list of exemptions is
intended to ensure that small municipal waste combustion units and
commercial and industrial solid waste incinerators are appropriately
required to follow the NSPS specific to that type of unit, rather
than the generic opacity and particulate matter regulations in OAC
252:100-17-3 and 100-17-4.
As an initial matter, the EPA believes it is reasonable for
Oklahoma make efforts to remove requirements that overlap with Federal
requirements when consistent with the Act. Further, as noted on page 3
of ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter,
Oklahoma currently has no incinerators subject to the small
municipal waste combustion rule of NSPS Subpart AAAA. The facilities
subject to NSPS Subpart CCCC in Oklahoma are subject due to the
presence of an ACI and are required to have a Title V permit.
Emission inventories are required annually per OAC 252:100-5 and
include state rule OAC 252:100-9 emission reporting. There is no
regulatory or emissions reporting gap created by exempting these
units from Subchapter 17.
So, with regard to incinerators subject to NSPS subpart AAAA, there
will be no increase in emissions due to exempting sources subject to
this standard, as there are no known sources currently subject to NSPS
subpart AAAA in Oklahoma. In addition, and as discussed below, any
increase in emissions due to exempting subpart CCCC sources will be de
minimus.
An inquiry for sources subject to NSPS subpart CCCC requirements in
Oklahoma reveals that such sources have an estimated or reported total
annual PM10 emissions of 2.337 tons (based on 2017 emission
inventory data and permitted rate). To the extent that revisions to OAC
252:100-17 might have resulted in any increased emissions from this
source category when compared to the total state-wide national emission
inventory of 10,693.06 tons of PM10, the resulting ratio is
so small (2.337/10,693.06 = 0.000219, or less than three-one hundredth
of one percent) that it is reasonable to conclude that such a de
minimus amount would not interfere with the attainment or maintenance
of the NAAQS, PSD increment, or any other applicable requirement of the
Act relating to SIPs.\11\ The commenter also specifically noted that
emissions during startup and shutdown are exempt under NSPS subpart
AAAA, but since there are no NSPS subpart AAAA sources in Oklahoma,
this is not a concern with respect to CAA section 110(l).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ All air quality control regions in Oklahoma are currently
designated as unclassifiable/attainment for PM2.5. See 40
CFR 81.337.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NSPS subpart AAAA and CCCC sources previously subject to the
General Purpose requirements of OAC 252:100-17, Part 3 would be subject
to the emission requirements in the applicable federal NSPS rather than
the
[[Page 37582]]
particulate matter emission limits provided by OAC 252:100, Appendix
A.\12\ Comparatively, the type of pollutants and the control
requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subparts AAAA and CCCC are more robust
and provide for better air quality protection than the out of date
empirical formula found in Appendix A of the 1972 Oklahoma SIP. We
believe it is reasonable for Oklahoma to remove old and duplicative
requirements. Finally, according to the 2016 State's Air Data Report,
Oklahoma has better ambient air quality than required under the
PM2.5 NAAQS, for both the primary and secondary, and the
PM10 NAAQS. See the charts on page 5 of Supplement 3 to
TSD.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ Appendix A in the Oklahoma SIP is part of an arcane
Regulation 5 which uses a process weight formula to calculate a
corresponding particulate emission rate based on its capacity.
\13\ See http://www.deq.state.ok.us/AQDnew/airreport2016/PM25.html (URL dated May 1, 2018) and http://www.deq.state.ok.us/AQDnew/airreport2016/PM10.html (URL dated May 1, 2018).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We note that under the Oklahoma SIP, should a source become subject
to NSPS subpart AAAA or subpart CCCC in the future, new source review
(NSR) permitting requirements would be triggered which require emission
limitations for all periods of normal operation, including periods of
startup and shutdown. In addition, 40 CFR 60.2145(a)(1) of NSPS subpart
CCCC states that the emission standards and operating requirements set
forth in this subpart apply at all times. Furthermore, affected sources
subject to NSPS subparts AAAA or CCCC in the future would trigger
Oklahoma NSR SIP and Title V requirements that ensure emissions from
such sources do not interfere with attainment or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. Stationary sources subject to NSPS subparts
AAAA or CCCC must obtain an air permit that includes operational
conditions and limitations necessary to assure compliance with all
applicable requirements, including the NAAQS. See OAC 252:100-8-3 and
OAC 252:100-8-6(a) of the Oklahoma SIP. See also OAC 252:100-4 of the
Oklahoma SIP. The federal NSPS requirements in combination with the NSR
SIP requirements will ensure that any emission increases due to
exempting NSPS subpart AAAA and CCCC sources from the requirements of
OAC 252:100-17, Part 3 will be de minimus and will not interfere with
any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any other
applicable requirement of the Act.
In addition, we are only approving into the SIP, the revision to
OAC 252-100-17-2 discussed above. We have not proposed action related
to the provisions of OAC 252:100-17, Part 9 Commercial and Industrial
Solid Waste Incineration Units--specifically OAC 252:100-17-60 thru 17-
76--as discussed in the March 22, 2018 (83 FR 12515) notice and the
SNPR. These provisions were not submitted to the EPA for SIP approval
as part of the February 14, 2017 SIP submittal and include provisions
that pertain to CAA sections 111(d) and 129, instead, which will be
acted upon separately in the future.\14\ Therefore, no changes have
been made to the proposed approval of the rule revision as a result of
this comment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ OAC 252:100-17-60 thru 17-76 are not directly related to
CAA section 110 (State implementation Plans for NAAQS) and pertain
to CAA sections 111(d) (Standards of performance for existing
sources; remaining useful life of source) and 129 (Solid waste
combustion) standards. These Subchapter 17 revisions were submitted
by the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality to EPA, by
letter dated September 15, 2017, as an update to Oklahoma's Air
Quality State Plan for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incinerators (CISWI) units, under CAA sections 111(d) and 129.
Pursuant to those statutory provisions and EPA's implementing
regulations related thereto, EPA will be evaluating and acting upon
the September 15, 2017 Submittal in a separate action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Comment 3: OAC 252:100- 25--Visible Emissions and Particulates. The
commenters state that the EPA is proposing to remove the requirement
for the EPA and ODEQ to jointly approve alternative monitoring
requirements and instead allow only ODEQ to make such determinations on
a case-by-case basis, thereby essentially allowing changes to the
opacity monitoring requirements of the SIP without going through the
SIP revision process. The commenters claim that the provision in the
currently existing SIP, requiring both EPA and ODEQ approval, ensures
that EPA would evaluate the alternative opacity monitoring requirements
to make certain that the alternative monitoring does not represent a
relaxation of the SIP limits. Citing to 40 CFR 51.212(c), the
commenters note that the SIP requirements for source testing provide
that a state may use test methods in Appendix M of 40 CFR part 51 or
Appendix A of 40 CFR part 60; or the state may use an alternative
opacity monitoring method that is not identified in those two
Appendices following review and approval of that method by the EPA.
Commenters conclude that to the extent ODEQ uses an alternative
monitoring method not identified in the above-referenced Appendices, it
must obtain EPA's approval.
Response: OAC 252:100-25-5 imposes continuous opacity monitoring
requirements on sources subject to 40 CFR part 51, appendix P and is,
therefore, governed by the requirements in appendix P. The February 14,
2017 submittal includes a revision to OAC 252:100-25-5(c) which
eliminates the words ``and EPA'' from the rule's requirement concerning
the case-by-case approval of alternative monitoring requirements
different from the provisions of parts 1 through 5 of 40 CFR part 60,
appendix P if continuous monitoring cannot be implemented by a source
due to physical plant limitations or extreme economic reasons. Thus,
OAC 252:100-25-5(c) concerns the installation and operation of emission
monitoring systems as required by 40 CFR 51.214 and not the
requirements related to enforceable test methods or alternative test
methods as provided in 40 CFR 51.212 and cited to by the commenters.
More specifically, 40 CFR 51.214(c) requires that the type of sources
set forth in 40 CFR part 51, appendix P meet the applicable
requirements therein. In turn, appendix P states that SIPs may include
provisions that provide for approval, on a case-by-case basis, of
alternative monitoring requirements if the installation of a continuous
monitoring system cannot be implemented by a source due to physical
limitations or extreme economic reasons. See 40 CFR part 51, appendix
P, part 6.0, Special Consideration. Importantly, there is no
requirement that the state obtain EPA's approval when making such
determinations. The state rulemaking record for the changes to OAC
252:100-25-5(c) support ODEQ's position that the provisions therein are
based on the special consideration language of part 6 of 40 CFR part
51, appendix P, which describes the powers and duties of the state and
alternatives to monitoring for sources with certain conditions. See
pages 16-17 of the Transcript of Proceedings of the Air Quality Council
Meeting, dated November 14, 2014, included in the February 14, 2017
submittal.\15\ Based upon Oklahoma's statements as well as the
discussion above, no changes are made to the proposed approval of this
rule revision as a result of this comment, and we are approving the
submitted revision to OAC 252:100-25 into the Oklahoma SIP.

Comment 4: OAC 252:100-31--Control of Emission of Sulfur Compounds.
The commenter notes that the revisions would eliminate the
SO2 ambient standards (exposure limits) in the existing SIP
at OAC 252:100-31-12 (renumbered OAC 252:100-31-7). The
[[Page 37583]]
commenters claim that, contrary to ODEQ's assertion, the removed
standards can still be considered protective of the current (2010)
SO2 NAAQS. More specifically, the commenters note that the
averaging times and calculation methodologies underlying the existing
SO2 SIP ambient (exposure) standards are significantly
different than the 2010 SO2 NAAQS averaging times and
methodologies. Due to the form of the SO2 standards in the
existing SIP being significantly different (5-minute) than the form of
the 2010 (1-hour) SO2 NAAQS and the its application to
existing equipment, the commenters assert that OAC 252:100-31-12 in the
existing SIP may provide protections in addition to those provided by
the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. The commenters questioned the CAA
section 110(l) noninterference demonstration submitted by ODEQ as well
as the EPA's proposed finding that the CAA section 110(l) requirements
have been met. In addition, the commenters assert that removal of the
SO2 standards from the SIP could lead to increased emissions
and relaxation of limits previously taken by some sources in order to
meet these SIP requirements. The commenters note that such emission
increases would need to be evaluated under CAA section 110(l) and
determined not to adversely impact the NAAQS or PSD increments. In
addition, they assert that the EPA must determine that other
requirements in 40 CFR 51.166(a) and 40 U.S.C. 7410 and 7471 have been
met. Finally, the commenters assert that record should include an
analysis demonstrating that the requirements of CAA section 193 and 40
CFR 51.165(a)(2) have been met.
Response: As the commenters note, the February 14, 2017 submittal
includes a revision to OAC 252:100-31 which removes SO2
ambient standards (exposure limits) in the existing SIP at OAC 252:100-
31-12 (renumbered OAC 252:100-31-7).\16\ Oklahoma's SIP submittal also
includes a CAA section 110(l) Noninterference Demonstration. The
purpose of a CAA section 110(l) demonstration is to ensure that the
proposed SIP revision does not interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment of the NAAQS or any other applicable
requirement of the CAA. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(l). The revision which must
be evaluated under CAA section 110(l) (to determine if it interferes
with attainment or maintenance of the NAAQS or any other CAA
requirement) is the removal of the SO2 state standards in
the existing SIP at OAC 252:100-31-12 (renumbered OAC 252:100-31-7).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ As noted in Supplement 3 to the TSD included in the docket
for this action, the replaced SO2 standards are state
standards (i.e., not required by the EPA SIP regulations) that have
been approved into the Oklahoma SIP. See document ID No. EPA-R06-
OAR-2017-0145-0002 at Regulations.gov.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As noted on pages 3-4 of ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter:
``Because the state standards have been replaced with the
national standards, provisions are in place to prevent Oklahoma
sources' emissions from interfering with the 2010 1-hour NAAQS. . .
. And, if one of the permits, due to the removal of these [state]
standards, had resulted in significant increases in emissions from a
major stationary source, the permit would have required a Prevention
of Significant Deterioration (PSD) review. Additionally, the Data
Requirements Rule (DRR) in 40 CFR part 51 has resulted in additional
SO2 monitors and modeling in Oklahoma. This modeling
shows the areas around the DRR sources to be in attainment of the
2010 SO2 1-hour NAAQS. Ambient air monitoring is ongoing,
but data collected to date indicate that monitored areas are
attaining the SO2 NAAQS. These factors support DEQ's
110(1) demonstration that there has been no deterioration of air
quality in Oklahoma due to the removal of these state standards.''
As stated above, Oklahoma opted to revise its state law to remove
the outmoded SO2 standards in OAC 252:100-31-12 (renumbered
to OAC 252:100-31-7), in light of the EPA's 2010 SO2 NAAQS
and its incorporation into OAC 252:100, Appendix E. It now asks the EPA
to approve this revision into the SIP. Since the removal of OAC
252:100-31-12 from the SIP cannot interfere with the attainment of the
2010 SO2 NAAQS, the Oklahoma SIP contains provisions to
ensure that SO2 sources do not interfere with the current
SO2 NAAQS as discussed below.
In response to commenters concern that existing sources may seek
modifications to remove or change SO2 emission limits
previously taken in air permits in order to meet the replaced state
SO2 standard, ODEQ notes provisions are in place to prevent
Oklahoma sources from interfering with the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
Such provisions are found in Oklahoma's major and minor NSR SIP
programs. For example, under OAC 252:100-7 (permits for minor
facilities), which has been approved into the Oklahoma SIP,
construction and operating permits must contain provisions that
prohibit exceedances of ambient air quality standards contained in OAC
252:100-3, including the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. See OAC 252:100-7-
15(d) and 7-18(f). In addition, as noted in ODEQ's July 13, 2018 Letter
and under OAC 252:100-8 of the EPA-approved Oklahoma SIP, permits for
Part 70 sources (including PSD sources) must include operational
conditions and limitations necessary to assure compliance with all
applicable requirements, including the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and
other SIP requirements. See OAC 252:100-8-6(a) and OAC 252:100-8-2
(definition of applicable requirement). Therefore, should a source
submit a permit application to revise an emissions limitation
previously taken to meet the state SO2 standard, ODEQ would
need to conduct an evaluation of the impacts associated with an
increase of emissions on the NAAQS and PSD increments as well as ensure
that the requirements of 40 CFR 51.166(a) and other applicable
requirements of the CAA have been met, including those cited by the
commenter. See, e.g., OAC 252:100-8, Part 7 of the federally-approved
Oklahoma SIP; see also 40 CFR part 52, subpart LL.
Finally, in confirmation of ODEQ's July 31, 2018 Letter which
states that ``Oklahoma has never relied upon Subchapter 31 as a control
measure for any nonattainment plans adopted before November 15, 1990''
in relation to CAA section 193, we searched EPA's Greenbook site for
the Designated Area Design Values for NAAQS of 1987 PM10,
1971 SO2, 1978 Pb, 1971 CO, and 1971 NO2 and did
not find information concerning any pre-November 15, 1990 nonattainment
plan in place for these criteria pollutants in Oklahoma. See the chart
on page 14 of Supplement 3 to TSD.\17\ As such, the requirements of CAA
section 193 are not applicable to this rulemaking action. Therefore,
based upon Oklahoma's statements as well as the analysis presented in
the record and discussed above, the proposed revision would not
interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment or any
other applicable requirement of the Act. Therefore, no changes have
been made to the proposed approval of this rule revision as a result of
this comment.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, from a historical perspective of SO2 NAAQS
review, we note the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee stated that
the Risk and Exposure Assessment (REA) had presented a ``convincing
rationale'' for a one-hour standard, and that ``a 1-hour standard is
the preferred averaging time'' and has been ``in agreement with having
a short-term standard and finds that the REA supports a one-hour
standard as protective of public health.'' (74 FR 64833, December 8,
2009).\18\ For
[[Page 37584]]
example, the existing OAC 252:100-31-12(a), in part, sets forth an
ambient air concentration of sulfur dioxide at 1300 [mu]g/m3 (0.50 ppm)
in a five (5) minute period. In developing the SO2 NAAQS,
EPA wrote,
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ The Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee is designed to
provide independent advice to the EPA Administrator on the technical
bases for EPA's NAAQS, and the Risk and Exposure Assessment is a
planning document EPA develops when establishing NAAQS for criteria
pollutants.
``When evaluating alternative forms in conjunction with specific
levels, the REA considered the adequacy of the public health
protection provided by the combination of level and form to be the
foremost consideration. In addition, the REA recognized that it is
important that the standard have a form that is reasonably stable.
As just explained in the context of a five-minute averaging time, a
standard set with a high degree of instability could have the effect
of reducing public health protection because shifting in and out of
attainment could disrupt an area's ongoing implementation plans and
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
associated control programs (74 FR 64833, December 8, 2009).''
In addition, as a part of final FR SO2 NAAQS in the 1996
rulemaking \19\ regarding a 5-minute standard CASAC wrote:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1996-05-22/pdf/96-12863.pdf, Page 25579.
``3. It was the consensus of CASAC that any regulatory strategy
to ameliorate such exposures be risk-based-targeted on the most
likely sources of short-term sulfur dioxide spikes rather than
imposing short term standards on all sources. All of the nine CASAC
Panel members recommended that Option 1, the establishment of a new
5-minutes standard, not be adopted. Reasons cited for this
recommendation included: the clinical experiences of many ozone
experts which suggest that the effects are short-term, readily
reversible, and typical of response seen with other stimuli.
Further, the committee viewed such exposures as rare events which
will even become rarer as sulfur dioxide emissions are further
reduced as the 1990 amendments are implemented. In addition, the
committee pointed out that enforcement of a short-term NAAQS would
require substantial technical resources. Furthermore, the committee
did not think that such a standard would be enforceable. 4. CASAC
questioned the enforceability of a 5-minute NAAQS or ``target
level.'' Although the Agency has not proposed an air monitoring
strategy, to ensure that such a standard or ``target level'' would
not be exceeded, we infer that potential sources would have to be
surrounded by concentric circles of monitors. The operation and
maintenance of such monitoring networks would be extremely resource
intensive. Furthermore, current instrumentation used to routinely
monitor sulfur dioxide does not respond quickly enough to accurately
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
characterize 5-minute spikes.''
Upon inquiry we were informed that the State did not collect 5-
minute (short term) SO2 monitoring data and such information
does not exist for us to evaluate or compare the State-only standard
with the 2010 1-Hour SO2 NAAQS for CAA section 110(l)
purposes.
To the extent sources were subject to the 5-minute standard, it
would have arisen during the permitting process if a modeling
demonstration had indicated more stringent permit limits would be
necessary to protect the five minute average. As noted by ODEQ above,
any attempt to remove those limitations would trigger PSD requirements
(e.g., BACT analysis) had there been a significant SO2
emissions increase.
No comments pertaining to February 14, 2017 revisions to OAC
252:100 Appendix E--Primary Ambient Air Quality Standards, and OAC
252:100 Appendix F--Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards were
received. Therefore, approval of these two Appendices as a revision to
the Oklahoma SIP will be finalized as proposed.
This concludes our response to relevant comments received. No
changes to the Proposal and the SNPR have been made as a result of the
comments received; therefore, we are finalizing proposed revisions
noted in the Proposal and the corresponding SNPR into the Oklahoma SIP,
as submitted on February 14, 2017.
III. Final Action
We are approving rule revisions to OAC:252:100 Subchapters 13 Open
Burning, 17 Incinerators, 25 Visible Emissions and Particulates, 31
Control of Emission of Sulfur Compounds, Appendix E Primary Ambient Air
Quality Standards, and Appendix F Secondary Ambient Air Quality
Standards as submitted on February 14, 2017. Our approval will
incorporate these changes into the SIP for Oklahoma.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.4, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
revisions to the Oklahoma regulations as described in the Final Action
section above. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available electronically through
www.regulation.gov, Docket ID. No. EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0145 and at the EPA
Region 6 office (please contact the person identified in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information). Therefore, these materials have been approved by EPA for
inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to
the SIP compilation.
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January
21, 2011);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
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);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act;
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human
[[Page 37585]]
health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally
permissible methods, under Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February
16, 1994);
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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 action 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 September 30, 2019. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposed 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).)
