40 CFR Part 55

[EPA-R03-OAR-2021-0767; FRL-9366-01-R3]


Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations; Consistency Update for 
Virginia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; consistency update.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
update a portion of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Air Regulations. 
Requirements applying to OCS sources located within 25 miles of states' 
seaward boundaries must be updated periodically to remain consistent 
with the requirements of the corresponding onshore area (COA), as 
mandated by section 328(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). The portion 
of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to the 
requirements for OCS sources for which Virginia is the designated COA. 
The Commonwealth of Virginia's requirements discussed in this document 
are proposed to be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal 
Regulations and listed in the appendix to the OCS air regulations.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before March 14, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2021-0767 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On September 4, 1992, EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which

[[Page 7791]]

established requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources in 
order to attain and maintain federal and state ambient air quality 
standards and to comply with the provisions of part C of title I of the 
CAA. The regulations at 40 CFR part 55 apply to all OCS sources except 
those located in the Gulf of Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. See 
40 CFR 55.3(a). Section 328 of the CAA requires that for such sources 
located within 25 miles of a state's seaward boundary, the requirements 
shall be the same as would be applicable if the sources were located in 
the COA. Because the OCS requirements are based on onshore 
requirements, and onshore requirements may change, section 328(a)(1) 
requires that EPA update the OCS requirements as necessary to maintain 
consistency with onshore requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The reader may refer to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, 
December 5, 1991 (56 FR 63774), and the preamble to the final rule 
promulgated September 4, 1992 (57 FR 40792) for further background 
and information on the OCS regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 55.12, consistency reviews will occur: (1) At 
least annually where an OCS activity is occurring within 25 miles of a 
State seaward boundary; (2) upon receipt of a Notice of Intent (NOI) 
under 40 CFR 55.4; or (3) when a state or local agency submits a rule 
to EPA to be considered for incorporation by reference in 40 CFR part 
55. This proposed action is being done as part of an annual review 
because of OCS activity occurring within 25 miles of Virginia's seaward 
boundary--in particular the Dominion Energy Virginia 12-megawatt 
offshore wind technology testing facility located approximately 24 
nautical miles east of the City of Virginia Beach, Virginia. Public 
comments received in writing within 30 days of publication of this 
document will be considered by EPA before publishing a final rule.
    Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that EPA establish requirements 
to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 25 miles of 
States' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore requirements. 
To comply with this statutory mandate, EPA must incorporate applicable 
onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist onshore. This limits 
EPA's flexibility in deciding which requirements will be incorporated 
into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents EPA from making substantive changes to 
the requirements it incorporates. As a result, EPA may be incorporating 
rules into 40 CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of EPA's state 
implementation plan (SIP) guidance or certain requirements of the CAA. 
Consistency updates may result in the inclusion of state or local rules 
or regulations into 40 CFR part 55, even though the same rules may 
ultimately be disapproved for inclusion as part of the SIP. Inclusion 
in the OCS rule does not imply that a rule meets the requirements of 
the CAA for SIP approval, nor does it imply that the rule will be 
approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

II. EPA Analysis

    EPA reviewed Virginia's rules for inclusion in 40 CFR part 55 to 
ensure that they are rationally related to the attainment or 
maintenance of federal or state ambient air quality standards and 
compliance with part C of title I of the CAA, that they are not 
designed expressly to prevent exploration and development of the OCS, 
and that they are potentially applicable to OCS sources. See 40 CFR 
55.1. EPA has also evaluated the rules to ensure they are not arbitrary 
or capricious. See 40 CFR 55.12(e). In addition, EPA has excluded 
administrative or procedural rules, and requirements that regulate 
toxics which are not related to the attainment and maintenance of 
federal and state ambient air quality standards.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ Each COA which has been delegated the authority to implement 
and enforce 40 CFR part 55 will use its administrative and 
procedural rules as onshore. However, in those instances where EPA 
has not delegated authority to implement and enforce 40 CFR part 55, 
EPA will use its own administrative and procedural requirements to 
implement the substantive requirements. See 40 CFR 55.14(c)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Proposed Action

    EPA last did a consistency update for Virginia on October 21, 2019 
(84 FR 56121). In that action, EPA incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 55 all Virginia regulations that EPA believed were relevant to 
the OCS requirements. For this action, EPA has reviewed changes that 
Virginia has made to its underlying regulatory programs. This action 
will have no effect on any provisions that were not subject to changes 
by Virginia and were also previously incorporated by reference into 40 
CFR part 55 through EPA's October 21, 2019 rulemaking. The rules that 
EPA proposes to incorporate are applicable provisions of the Virginia 
Administrative Code (VAC). The intended effect of proposing approval of 
the OCS requirements for the Virginia Department of Environmental 
Quality (VADEQ) is to regulate emissions from OCS sources in accordance 
with the requirements for onshore sources. The Virginia regulatory 
changes EPA proposes to incorporate are:
    (1) Chapter 20, General Provisions--9VAC5-20-21, Documents 
incorporated by reference;
    (2) Chapter 50, New and Modified Stationary Sources--9VAC5-50-400. 
General;
    (3) Chapter 60, Hazardous Air Pollutant Sources--9VAC5-60-60. 
General;
    (4) Chapter 60, Hazardous Air Pollutant Sources--9VAC5-60-90. 
General.
    EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this 
document. These comments will be considered before taking final action.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule 
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance 
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference the applicable provisions of the Virginia Administrative Code 
set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these 
materials available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 
III Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER 
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to establish 
requirements to control air pollution from OCS sources located within 
25 miles of states' seaward boundaries that are the same as onshore air 
pollution control requirements. To comply with this statutory mandate, 
the EPA must incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 
as they exist onshore. See 42 U.S.C. 7627(a)(1); 40 CFR 55.12. Thus, in 
promulgating OCS consistency updates, EPA's role is to maintain 
consistency between OCS regulations and the regulations of onshore 
areas, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, 
this action simply updates the existing OCS requirements that have been 
revised since the last consistency review to make them consistent with 
requirements onshore, without the exercise of any policy direction by 
EPA. 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 (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et 
seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact 
on a

[[Page 7792]]

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 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).
    This proposed rulemaking incorporating by reference sections of the 
Virginia Administrative Code, does not apply on any Indian reservation 
land as defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151 or in any other area where EPA or an 
Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those 
areas of Indian country, this rule incorporating by reference sections 
of the Virginia Administrative Code 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).
    This action does not impose any new information collection burden 
under the PRA. OMB has previously approved the information collection 
activities contained in the existing regulations at 40 CFR part 55 and, 
by extension, this update to part 55, and has assigned OMB control 
number 2060-0249. This action does not impose a new information burden 
under PRA because this action only updates the state rules that are 
incorporated by reference into 40 CFR part 55, appendix A.\3\

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

    EPA is proposing to incorporate the rules potentially applicable to 
sources for which the Commonwealth of Virginia will be the COA that 
have been revised since the last consistency review. The rules that EPA 
proposes to incorporate are applicable provisions of the Virginia 
Administrative Code.
