[EPA-R10-OAR-2019-0599, FRL-10022-46-Region 10]


Air Plan Approval; OR; Smoke Management Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving Oregon 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted on November 3, 
2014, and September 27, 2019. The submitted revisions incorporate by 
reference the most recent updates to Oregon's Smoke Management Plan. 
EPA is acting only on the most recent version of such regulations as 
the previous versions are no longer in effect as a matter of state law. 
EPA is also making technical corrections related to previous approvals 
of components of Oregon's SIP. EPA has determined that the changes are 
consistent with Clean Air Act requirements.

DATES: This final rule is effective June 24, 2021.

I. Background Information

    On February 19, 2021, EPA proposed to approve Oregon's November 3, 
2014, and September 27, 2019, SIP submissions revising the Oregon Smoke 
Management Plan (86 FR 10220). The reasons for our approval are 
included in the proposal and will not be restated here. The public 
comment period for our proposed approval closed on March 22, 2021. EPA 
received multiple comments on the proposal.

II. Response to Comments

    EPA received a total of 19 comments during the public comment 
period. Fourteen comments expressed support for the proposed action, 
five comments were adverse including two comments that raised concerns 
EPA believes are outside the scope of the proposed action. The full 
text of all comments received may be found in the docket for this 
action. We have summarized and responded to the adverse comments.
    Comments: EPA received three comments opposing EPA's proposed 
action. All three comments suggested that non-burning approaches to 
forest management, such as chipping and recycling wood waste, should be 
used instead of prescribed fire to avoid the generation of smoke that 
can impact human health.
    Response: Oregon's SIP submission, which EPA is taking final action 
to approve, includes a provision that encourages the use of 
alternatives to burning to reduce the volume of prescribed burning 
necessary to meet Oregon's management objectives. See Oregon 
Administrative Rule (OAR) 629-048-0200. Due to the fact that prescribed 
fire produces smoke that impacts air quality, Oregon's SIP submission 
deals centrally with the use of prescribed fire and safeguards to 
ensure that such burning does not impermissibly compromise air quality. 
EPA has reviewed the Oregon SIP revisions and we proposed to approve 
the submissions as consistent with Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements.
    As explained in EPA's February 19, 2021, notice of proposed 
rulemaking, Oregon's 2019 SIP submittal includes additional controls 
and contingencies to protect against impacts on air quality from 
prescribed burning. The submittal establishes sub-National Ambient Air 
Quality Standard (NAAQS) intrusion thresholds and a burn approval 
target not to exceed approximately 75% of the 24-hour PM2.5 
NAAQS. The 2019 SIP submittal also establishes a NAAQS protective 
criterion for burn approvals through use of a one-hour threshold even 
though there is no NAAQS one-hour limit. Considered as a whole, the 
revisions contained in the 2019 submittal strengthen the currently SIP-
approved smoke management requirements.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided those choices meet the criteria of the CAA. EPA makes 
a determination regarding whether the state has adequately demonstrated 
that its chosen control measures will not interfere with attainment and 
maintenance of the NAAQS and otherwise satisfy the requirements of the 
CAA. Here, as explained in EPA's notice of proposed rulemaking, EPA 
finds that Oregon has adequately demonstrated that the SIP revision 
related to the forest management tool of prescribed fire will continue 
to protect the NAAQS. Even if non-burning alternatives may accomplish 
the same results as burning, EPA cannot substitute non-burning 
alternatives that were not included in Oregon's lawfully submitted SIP 
revisions.
    Comment: One commenter appears to support the use of prescribed 
fire to ``limit the scope of the wildfires'' but also urges EPA to work 
towards lowering Federal air quality standards.
    Response: This comment appears to relate to the adequacy of the 
NAAQS and is therefore outside the scope of this action, which relates 
only to the approval of amendments to Oregon's SIP. The CAA contains 
provisions that specifically address the review and promulgation of the 
NAAQS. Taking into consideration the information in the Integrated 
Science Assessment (ISA), Risk/Exposure Assessment (REA), Policy 
Assessment (PA), and the advice of Clean Air Scientific Advisory 
Committee (CASAC), EPA develops and publishes a notice of proposed 
rulemaking that communicates the Administrator's proposed decisions 
regarding the review of each NAAQS. A public comment period, during 
which public hearings are generally held, follows publication of the 
notice of proposed rulemaking. Taking into account comments received on 
the proposed rulemaking, EPA issues a final rule promulgating a new or 
revised NAAQS or retaining a NAAQS. EPA encourages the commenter to 
participate in future rulemakings when the NAAQS standards are 
reviewed. EPA does not revisit the adequacy of the NAAQS when taking 
action on a proposed SIP revision related to NAAQS pollutants and the 
comment is outside of the scope of this action. Rather, EPA's role in 
reviewing and approving a SIP revision is to ensure attainment and 
maintenance with the NAAQS as the relevant and applicable standard for 
approvals of SIP revisions under CAA section 110.
    Comment: One commenter appears to support Oregon's use of 
prescribed fire but states ``I still have a problem that is the 
standard of the license to be obtained before burning, how to control 
it more accurately and prevent the masses from abusing it?''
    Response: The commenter's concerns seem to address Oregon's 
permitting requirements and the related implementation and possible 
abuse of the prescribed fire permits. The comment is vague, lacks 
supporting evidence or documentation, and does not identify any 
portions of Oregon's submittals or EPA's proposed approval that are 
inconsistent with CAA requirements. In approving SIPs under section 110 
of the CAA, Congress gave states the lead in developing SIPs. In 
reviewing state plans, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided 
those choices meet the criteria of the CAA. See 42 U.S.C. 7410(k) and 
40 CFR 52.02(a).
    Oregon submitted permitting and general air quality rules for the 
purpose of managing smoke from prescribed fires to EPA and requested 
that EPA approve the rules into the Oregon SIP. Oregon Revised Statute 
(ORS) 477.515 states that it is unlawful to set or cause to be set an 
open fire inside or within one-

[[Page 27978]]

eighth of one mile of a forest protection district without first 
securing a written permit for burning from the forester and complying 
with the conditions of the permit. EPA approved ORS 477.515 into the 
SIP on November 1, 2001, (66 FR 55105) and it is still in effect as a 
matter of state and Federal law.
    OAR 629-047 establishes Oregon's enforcement policy regarding 
burning permits, including civil penalties and injunctive relief. 
Further, ORS 477.515(2) states that any permit obtained through willful 
misrepresentation is void. In the event that burn permits are not 
properly obtained, or are abused in some other way, Oregon's laws, 
rules, and enforcement authorities are sufficient to implement and 
enforce the SIP-approved regulations, consistent with CAA section 
110(a)(2)(C). EPA separately approved Oregon's SIP as meeting the 
enforcement requirements of section 110 on June 6, 2019 (84 FR 26347). 
When we approve the State's revisions into the SIP, the provisions are 
considered federally enforceable.
    For the aforementioned reasons, EPA is finalizing the action as 
proposed.

III. Final Action

    Under CAA section 110(k), EPA is approving and incorporating by 
reference, where appropriate, Oregon's 2014 and 2019 submitted 
revisions into the Oregon SIP at 40 CFR part 52, subpart MM as 
discussed in our February 19, 2021, proposed approval (86 FR 10220).

IV. Technical Correction

    EPA is making technical corrections as discussed in our February 
19, 2021, proposed approval (86 FR 10220). We are correcting the 
identification of the Oregon SIP at 40 CFR 52.1970(c), Table 2 by 
removing OAR 629-043-0043, Smoke Management Plan (state effective 4/13/
1987) to reflect EPA's August 22, 2012, approval (77 FR 50611) of OAR 
629-048; and by adding:
     OAR 629-048-0100, Regulated Areas (state effective 1/1/
2008);
     OAR 629-048-0160, Bear Creek/Rogue River Valley SSRA 
(state effective 1/1/2008);
     OAR 629-048-0300, Registration of Intent to Burn (state 
effective 1/1/2008);
     OAR 629-048-0330, Emission Inventories (state effective 1/
1/2008);
     OAR 629-048-0400, Coordination with Other Regulating 
Jurisdictions and for Other Pollutants (state effective 1/1/2008).
    We are also making technical corrections to the Oregon SIP at 40 
CFR 52.1970(e), Table 5, Section 3, by revising the reference to 
Oregon's Smoke Management Plan Administrative Rule to reflect EPA's 
August 22, 2012, approval (77 FR 50611) of OAR 629-048 and by removing 
the reference to OAR 629-43-043.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, we are finalizing the incorporation by reference of Oregon 
Administrative Rules as discussed in sections III and IV of this 
document and described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 
below. 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 rule of EPA's approval, and will be 
incorporated by reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Also, in this rule, we are removing the incorporation by reference 
of Oregon Administrative Rules as discussed in section IV of this 
document and described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 
below.
    EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials generally 
available through https://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 10 
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

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, EPA's role is to approve state choices, 
provided those choices meet the criteria

[[Page 27979]]

of the CAA. Accordingly, this proposed 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 
proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to 
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 
2011);
     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 the requirements would be inconsistent 
with the CAA; and
     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 (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 CAA, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by July 26, 2021. 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)).
