Approval of Source-Specific Air Quality Implementation Plans; New
Jersey
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving the
source-specific revisions to the New Jersey State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for 8-hour ozone for Paulsboro Refining, Buckeye Port Reading
Terminal, Buckeye Pennsauken Terminal, and Phillips 66 Company's Linden
facility. The current source-specific SIP revision addresses the
Reasonably Available Control Technology for volatile organic compounds
(VOC) for external floating roof tanks. The intended effect of this
revision is to address the Federal and state regulatory obligations for
external floating roof tanks that store VOC with vapor pressure three
(3) or more pounds per square inch absolute to be equipped with a domed
roof.
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 12, 2019.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under

I. Background
The EPA is approving the revision to the New Jersey SIP for
attainment and maintenance of the 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) for the following major VOC facilities:
Paulsboro Refining, Buckeye Port Reading Terminal, Buckeye Pennsauken
Terminal, and Phillips 66 Company's Linden facility. Specifically,
under New Jersey Administrative Code (NJAC), Title 7, Chapter 27,
Subchapter 16 (``Control and Prohibition of Air Pollution by Volatile
Organic Compounds''), Section 2 (``VOC Stationary Storage Tanks''), all
external floating roof tanks (EFRT) in Range III with vapor pressure
three (3) or more pounds per square inch absolute (psia) and that were
in existence on May 18, 2009 must be equipped with a domed roof the
first time the tank is degassed after May 19, 2009, and by no later
than May 1, 2020. See NJAC 7:27-16.2(l)(4). However, NJAC 7:27-16.17(a-
q) sets forth procedures and standards for establishing alternative and
facility-specific VOC control requirements for situations in which,
among other things, a facility can demonstrate that the control
requirements pursuant to NJAC 7:27-16.2 are not economically or
technologically feasible as applied to its operations. The EPA approved
NJAC 7:27-16.17(a-q) into the New Jersey SIP in 2010 (See 75 FR 45483
(August 3, 2010)) and is utilizing its functions in this current
action.
As was discussed in EPA's October 29, 2018 (83 FR 54300) proposal,
the EPA reviewed the four facilities' alternative VOC control plans and
Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) analyses submitted with
New Jersey's SIP revision. The New Jersey Department of Environmental
Protection (NJDEP) concluded and the RACT analyses concluded that: (1)
Installing domes on 25 out of the 51 EFRT currently lacking them in
accordance with the proposed schedule which identifies the doming dates
for some tanks beyond the 2020 compliance date as authorized under NJAC
7:27-16.17, is economically and technologically feasible and therefore
RACT and (2) doming the remaining 26 EFRT currently without domes is
not
[[Page 54786]]
economically and technologically feasible and therefore not RACT. A
full summary, including RACT requirements, is included in the technical
support document (TSD) that is contained in the EPA's docket assigned
to this Federal Register document.
II. The EPA's Evaluation of New Jersey's Submittals
The four facilities' source-specific SIP revisions found that the
doming of the total inventory of EFRT was not RACT, but the doming of
25 out of 51 EFRT on a delayed proposed schedule was technologically
and economically feasible pursuant to the New Jersey SIP and found that
doming the remaining 26 was not economically feasible. The EPA has
determined that the economic analyses regarding doming identified in
the source-specific SIP revisions are consistent with the NJDEP's VOC
RACT regulation and the EPA's rules and guidance. A detailed discussion
of the doming requirements, schedules and EPA's evaluation can be found
in the October 29, 2018 proposal and will not be restated here. See 83
FR 54300 (October 29, 2018).
III. Comments Received in Response to EPA's Proposed Action
In response to EPA's October 29, 2018 proposed approval of the
source-specific revisions to the New Jersey State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for 8-hour ozone for Paulsboro Refining, Buckeye Port Reading
Terminal, Buckeye Pennsauken Terminal, and Phillips 66 Company's Linden
facility, the EPA received public comments from five Commenters during
the 30-day public comment period. After reviewing the comments, the EPA
has determined that two Commenters provided feedback that is outside
the scope of our proposed action or fails to identify any material
issue necessitating a response. The comments do not raise issues
relevant to the EPA's proposed action, therefore, the EPA will not
provide a specific response to these comments. The EPA did, however,
receive comments from three Commenters that are relevant and
significant to the EPA's proposed action, warranting a response from
the EPA. The relevant comments are summarized below and followed by an
EPA response. All comments submitted may be viewed under Docket ID
Number EPA-R02-OAR-2018-0621 on the http://www.regulations.gov website.
Comment: According to the Paulsboro RACT analysis the cost estimate
to dome all 21 of the facility's ERFTs is in the range of $19,000-
149,000 per ton VOC reduced. The lower limit of $19,000 is within the
State's definition of what is economically feasible. The EPA should
reverse the NJDEP's decision to allow this facility not to dome eleven
of its 21 EFRT, furthermore, the EFRT should be domed six months ahead
of what is expected under the source-specific SIP revision.
Response: The EPA disagrees that the cost of doming Paulsboro's
total inventory of 21 ERFT is economically feasible and that the
timeline for completing the doming requirement should be six months
sooner than in the source-specific SIP revision. EPA disagrees $19,000
is within New Jersey's range of economically feasible RACT control. The
commenter did not provide any documentation to support the statement
that the lower limit of $19,000 is within the State's definition of
what is economically feasible. On the contrary, New Jersey's SIP
revision specifically states the Paulsboro RACT analysis estimates the
cost to dome all 21 of the facility's ERFTs is in the range of $19,000-
149,000 per ton VOC reduced, and that this is not cost-effective for
meeting RACT. Therefore, as authorized in the New Jersey SIP, the
facility developed a cost-effective alternative plan to reduce VOC
emissions (i.e., the alternative VOC control plan).
As for doming considered to be RACT, the EPA recognizes the doming
provision in NJAC 7:27-16.2 is intended to cover situations in which
doming an EFRT is RACT (that is, when implementation of the action is
both economically and technologically feasible) and that facilities are
allowed, under NJAC 7:27-16.17 to submit an alternative VOC control
plan where implementation of the prescribed RACT is demonstrated by the
facilities to be economically or technologically infeasible as applied
to their specific operations. This alternative VOC control plan
provision is intended to cover case-by-case circumstances for
facilities to explore cost effective options for VOC emission reduction
techniques. The EPA also takes notice of the fact that the facilities'
calculated lower limit of $19,000 per ton VOC emission reduced, is well
above what EPA has historically defined as economically feasible (i.e.,
$160-1300).\1\ Furthermore, contrary to the statement by the comment,
the 2007 New Jersey RACT Plan (i.e., State RACT rules) approved by the
EPA and discussed in the EPA's October 29, 2018 (83 FR 54300) proposal,
do not include a specific dollar amount. Thus, the four facilities
submitted an alternative VOC control plan and NJDEP has approved,
pursuant to the New Jersey ozone SIP, which is the subject of this
rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ EPA guidance in 1994 indicated States should consider in
their RACT determinations technologies that achieve 30-50 percent
reduction within a cost range of $160-1300 per ton of NOX
emissions reduced. See 70 FR 71652.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Paulsboro, and the other facilities under this rulemaking,
considered the Federal and state RACT requirements, determining that
the cost of doming the total inventory of EFRT by the compliance
deadline is beyond the range of what traditionally EPA and the State
would consider RACT. The intent of the alternative VOC control plan, as
authorized under NJAC 7:27-16.17, is to create an alternative to the
requirement to dome the facility's total inventory of EFRT that are
subject to the doming requirement under NJAC 7:27-16.2 (``doming
requirement''), because the facility has demonstrated that doming the
tanks by the compliance date is not economically feasible under the
State's RACT Plan. Under the alternative VOC control plan, the facility
will follow an alternative implementation schedule (``Alternative
Implementation Schedule'') in complying with the doming requirement on
the identified tanks, as authorized under NJAC 7:27-16.17(d)(2)(x).
Under NJAC 7:27-16.2(p)(2)(ii), the facility can submit a facility-wide
VOC control plan with an implementation schedule that, among other
requirements, ``shall be consistent with the facility's schedule for
tank removal from service for normal inspection and maintenance.'' The
facility's Alternative Implementation Schedule, as set forth in its
alternative VOC control plan, is based on the facility's 15-20-year
maintenance schedule for removing tanks from service for inspection and
maintenance; the Alternative Implementation Schedule will allow the
facility to achieve compliance in a cost reasonable manner. See
www.regulations.gov EPA-R02-OAR-2018-0621, Final TSD Paulsboro Buckeye
Phillips. According to the facility's RACT analysis cost table, (see
www.regulations.gov EPA-R02-OAR-2018-0621, Paulsboro SIP revision EFRT
domes 12 10 2015, Enclosure 7, Attachment 1), doming the set of tanks
that are designated for compliance by the 2020 compliance date is
economically feasible for those tanks because the annualized costs of
installation and maintenance of the domes are within the State's RACT
Plan considering the facility's business model. By contrast, the
annualized costs of installation and maintenance of the domes for tanks
that are following the Alternative Implementation Schedule to comply
after the default 2020 compliance date are beyond RACT
[[Page 54787]]
because it is not economically feasible to dome them by compliance
date. Doming these tanks would be too costly and unreasonable to dome
tanks that are not out-of-service. According to the facility's RACT
analysis cost table, generally, the group of tanks following the
Alternative Implementation Schedule has higher total costs (i.e.,
maintenance, administrative, and annualized) than the tanks being domed
by the default compliance date, a difference of approximately $119,000
more. The facility's costs for doming are based on the EPA Control Cost
Manual (see https://www.epa.gov/economic-and-cost-analysis-air-pollution-regulations/cost-reports-and-guidance-air-pollution) using a
7% interest over a 20-year useful life for each dome. The proposed
Alternative Implementation Schedule in the alternative VOC control plan
allows for the facility to spread the cost of installing and
maintaining the domes over a more reasonable timeline; this phased
approach allows the facility to minimize interference with normal
operation while achieving sufficient VOC emission reductions to support
the State's Ozone NAAQS attainment goals.
With respect to the comment to require doming on the EFRT to be
completed six months ahead of the proposed dates, EPA believes this is
unwarranted. Installing the domes on a schedule earlier than what the
facilities provided in their analyses is not economically feasible and
therefore not RACT. Ideally, domes should be installed after the tank
is completely empty and out of service with ideal environmental weather
conditions, which makes timing important. The schedules outlined in the
facilities' alternative VOC control plans allow them flexibility to
schedule installation of the domes during ideal conditions and allow
for continuation of normal operating procedures. New Jersey has
exercised its authority under NJAC 7:27-16.17(d) and has considered the
facilities' proposed schedule for completion as a criterion in
determining that the alternative control plans are sufficient.
Comment: The EPA cannot approve the EFRT dome deadline extensions
as they exceed the regulatory and statutory mandate that RACT must be
implemented ``as expeditiously as practicable but no later than 3
years.'' Title 40 CFR 51.1112(a)(3) requires ``The state shall provide
for implementation of RACT as expeditiously as practicable but no later
than January 1 of the 5th year after the effective date of designation
for the 2008 ozone NAAQS.''
Response: The current action is approval of a source-specific SIP,
not the overall State RACT SIP. Given that, the overall State 2008 RACT
effective date is March 12, 2008, and the EPA approved the overall
State's RACT SIP revision to address the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS on May
15, 2009, within the statutory 24-month deadline for implementing RACT
40 CFR 51.1112(a)(3) applies to the overall implementation of the
State's RACT SIP. RACT compliance for a source-specific RACT
determination submitted as a SIP revision, as we have in this rule
making, is largely based on when the State submits and EPA acts on the
SIP revision.
As stated in the previous response, installing the domes on a
schedule earlier than what the facilities provided in their analyses is
not economically feasible and therefore not RACT. Therefore,
installation of the domes by 2017 for the 2008 Ozone NAAQS and earlier
for the 1997 Ozone NAAQS, as the commenter suggests, would not be RACT
because it is not economically feasible.
Comment: The EPA cannot approve this source-specific SIP revision
because New Jersey failed to provide an anti-backsliding analysis as
required under sections 110 and 172 of the CAA. As the Subchapter 16 is
approved into the ozone SIP and requires all EFRT in Range III to be
domed by no later than 2020, any exemption to this rule must consider
anti-backsliding. Furthermore, New Jersey is part of both the New York
non-attainment area and the ozone transport area where VOCs from tanks
like these can impede area's ability to attain the ozone standard.
Response: The EPA recognizes the applicability of section 110(l) of
the CAA for source-specific SIP revisions, but in this instance, EPA
disagrees there is a cause for disapproval. Section 110(l) of the CAA
prohibits the EPA from approving revisions to a SIP if the revision
would interfere with any applicable requirement concerning attainment
and reasonable further progress, or any other requirement of the CAA.
In a circumstance such as that presented here, where approval of the
RACT alternative (i.e., the source-specific determination) would impact
air quality in a nonattainment area that is required to have an
attainment demonstration, any attainment demonstration for the area
must account for the source-specific RACT, and may do so: (1) By
showing that the attainment demonstration, in fact, accounts for the
source-specific RACT alternative; or (2) where the attainment
demonstration has not yet been approved, by showing (e.g., by
presenting information to be included in a forthcoming attainment
demonstration) that the attainment demonstration will be able to
properly account for emissions attributable to the proposed RACT
alternative. For example, the information could show that the
forthcoming attainment demonstration will not rely on emission
reductions for the source category as a whole, or that it will reduce
the emissions decreases credited to the source category by the
estimated amount of increases associated with source-specific RACT
determinations.
The EPA has determined that this SIP revision does not interfere
with any applicable New Jersey ozone plan concerning attainment and
reasonable further progress of the NAAQS, or any applicable requirement
of the CAA. The ``applicable New Jersey ozone plan concerning
attainment and reasonable further progress'' for purposes of this SIP
revision is New Jersey's attainment demonstration SIP for the 2008
ozone standard. Two of the four facilities addressed in this SIP
revision are located in the northern portion of the State as part of
the New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-CT (also referred
to as the New York Metropolitan Area or NYMA) moderate nonattainment
area. The comment is correct that Subchapter 16 (NJAC 7:27-16.2) is
approved into the New Jersey ozone SIP and the requirement for all EFRT
in Range III to be domed by 2020 is part of the SIP. While projected
emission controls in the New Jersey 2008 ozone attainment modeling \2\
included ozone projections to 2017 for bulk petroleum storage
degassing, cleaning, landing, and slotted guide poles, the emission
controls for placing domes on EFRT were not part of the modeling and no
VOC emission reduction credits (neither for all of the EFRT being domed
nor a percentage of them being domed) were relied upon for attainment
nor reasonable further progress of the ozone NAAQS. The ozone
attainment date for 1997 and 2008 ozone NAAQS for the NYMA are June 15,
2010 and June 20, 2018, respectively, but the doming requirement under
NJAC 7:27-16 has a future compliance date that is beyond this current
action, and beyond the attainment date for both the 1997 and 2008 ozone
NAAQS. New Jersey
[[Page 54788]]
recognized that (1) requiring doming of EFRT is an aggressive VOC
emission reduction requirement, and (2) when promulgating these
aggressive VOC emission reduction requirements to require doming of
EFRT, individual facilities may demonstrate, consistent with the SIP
approved provisions of NJAC 7:27-16.2 and 16.17, that these
requirements are not technologically and economically feasible or RACT
as applied to their operations, and therefore, New Jersey did not rely
on the maximum benefit of all, nor a percentage of the EFRT being domed
in the applicable New Jersey ozone attainment plan. There can be no
threat of backsliding of the NAAQS for these two source-specific SIP
revisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ NJDEP State Implementation Plan Revision for Attainment and
Maintenance of the 75 ppb and 85 ppb Ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standards, Ozone Attainment Demonstrations for the Northern
New Jersey-New York-Connecticut Nonattainment Area, https://www.state.nj.us/dep/baqp/ozoneppb.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The other two facilities addressed in this revision are located in
the southern area of the State, Paulsboro and Pennsauken, and part of
the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City (PA-NJ-MD-DE) ozone
nonattainment area that is classified as marginal nonattainment for
both the 2008 and 2015 ozone NAAQS so the State has no requirement to
conduct attainment modeling nor to submit an attainment or reasonable
further progress plan. Therefore, a comparison of the VOC emissions
from the combined 12 EFRT (11 EFRT in Paulsboro and 1 EFRT in
Pennsauken) not being domed to the EPA approved 2011 VOC emissions
(See, 82 FR 44099 (September 21, 2017)) for the New Jersey portion of
Philadelphia-Wilmington-Atlantic City ozone nonattainment area to show
that the difference in emissions between the presumptive RACT and
source-specific RACT is so small that it should not interfere with
attainment or maintenance of the NAAQS or any other applicable
requirement. The combined VOC emissions by not doming the 12 EFRT is
approximately 14.98 tons per year (see the TSD for this action) or
0.041 tons per day compared to the total VOC emissions for the PA-NJ-
MD-DE area of 199.09 tons per day which correlates to approximately
0.021 percentage change in VOC emissions. Based on this minimal VOC
emissions change, EPA has determined there to be no threat of
backsliding of the NAAQS for these two source-specific SIP revisions.
EPA also notes that New Jersey will have to account for the air
quality benefits achieved from the doming of any EFRT in any future
applicable ozone attainment or reasonable further progress plans where
the planning milestones (i.e., attainment date or projection year
emissions inventory) are beyond the applicable compliance date for
doming the EFRT. Specifically, New Jersey will have to account for the
doming of any EFRT in the ozone attainment plan for the 2008 serious
nonattainment NYMA area which is due August 3, 2020 and must show
attainment by July 20, 2021. See 84 FR 44238, August 23, 2019.
Lastly, section 172(e) of the CAA provides that when the
Administrator relaxes a NAAQS, the EPA must ensure that all areas which
have not attained that NAAQS maintain ``controls which are no less
stringent than the controls applicable to areas designated
nonattainment before such relaxation.'' Although section 172(e) has
never applied directly to EPA's ozone standards, because those ozone
standards have only increased in stringency over time, the EPA has
applied the principles of section 172(e) to develop anti-backsliding
regulations following revocation of the 1-hour and 1997 ozone
standards. For this action, the procedure for approving alternatives
pursuant to NJAC 7:27-16.2 and 16.17 has already been approved by the
EPA (See, 75 FR 45483 (August 3, 2010)) and is in the New Jersey SIP,
so for the purposes of 172(e) the EPA is not altering the RACT
provision and is executing it as approved.
IV. Summary of EPA's Final Action
The NJDEP determined that the four facilities discussed above could
avoid doming 26 EFRT, because requiring the four facilities' total
inventory of 51 EFRT to be domed by the default compliance date under
NJAC 7:27-16 would be economically infeasible and not RACT.
Specifically, the EPA is approving the NJDEP SIP revisions for 8-hour
ozone to allow the Paulsboro facility not to dome eleven EFRT; the
Buckeye facilities not to dome five EFRT; and the Phillips 66 Company
facility not to dome ten EFRT. The EPA is also approving the
requirement to dome the remaining 25 EFRT in accordance with the
schedule set out in the facilities' alternative control plan. This SIP
revision would require the facilities to dome eight of the 25 EFRT on a
delayed timeline due to the economic infeasibility of doming the tanks
by 2020 (and convert one EFRT to an internal floating roof tank).
As stated in EPA's October 29, 2018 proposal, NJAC 7:27-16.17
establishes procedures and standards for alternative, facility-specific
VOC control requirements. Under NJAC 7:27-16.17(l)(2), a source seeking
approval for facility-specific controls must modify its Title V
operating permit to incorporate the approved alternative control plan
and comply with the plan's requirements in order to comply with NJAC
7:27-16.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
provisions described above in Section IV. Final Action. EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these materials generally available through
http://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 2 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 State
Implementation Plan, have been incorporated by reference by EPA into
that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113
of the Clean Air Act 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. See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA 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 they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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
[[Page 54789]]
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 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 CAA; and
does not provide the 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 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175, because the SIP is not approved to
apply in Indian country located in the state, and the EPA notes that it
will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or
preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this
action.
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 December 10, 2019. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
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).)
