ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of Montana on
March 25, 2020, addressing regional haze. Specifically, EPA is
approving a SIP revision for the first implementation period of the
Clean Air Act's (CAA) regional haze program that addresses the nitrogen
oxides (NOX) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) Best
Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for two electric
generating unit (EGU) facilities, as well as replaces portions of the
Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) promulgated by EPA in 2012 (2012
[[Page 41321]]
regional haze FIP) addressing the NOX, SO2, and
particulate matter (PM) BART requirements for two cement kilns and the
PM BART requirements for the same two EGU facilities. Consistent with
our approval of Montana's regional haze SIP revision, EPA is
withdrawing, the portions of the FIP promulgated by EPA in the 2012
regional haze FIP addressing the NOX, SO2, and PM
BART requirements for the two cement kilns and the PM BART requirements
for the two EGU facilities. This action also addresses the United
States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's June 9, 2015 vacatur
and remand of portions of the FIP. EPA is finalizing this action
pursuant to the CAA.
DATES: This rule is effective on July 26, 2023.

I. Background
In our notice of proposed rulemaking published on September 9, 2022
(87 FR 55331), EPA proposed to approve revisions to Montana's regional
haze SIP submitted by the State of Montana on March 25, 2020. In this
rulemaking, we are taking final action to approve two Montana Board of
Environment Review Orders pertaining to regional haze requirements for
four facilities \1\ into the state's SIP. Specifically, EPA is
approving: (1) NOX, SO2, and PM BART emission
limits along with associated requirements for the Ash Grove Cement
Company's Montana City Plant (Montana City) and GCC Three Forks, LLC's
Trident Plant (Trident); (2) the PM BART emission limits along with
associated requirements for Talen Montana, LLC's Colstrip Steam
Electric Station, Units 1 and 2 (Colstrip Units 1 and 2); (3) the
determination that Colstrip Units 1 and 2's enforceable shutdown date
of July 1, 2022, satisfies the outstanding NOX and
SO2 BART requirements for that facility; and (4) the
determination that the outstanding NOX and SO2
BART requirements for Corette (as well as the remaining PM BART
requirements for Corette in EPA's FIP) are satisfied because the source
is no longer in operation and has been demolished.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Ash Grove Cement Company's Montana City Plant; GCC Three
Forks, LLC's Trident Plant; JE Corette Steam Electric Station; and
Talen Montana, LLC's Colstrip Steam Electric Station, Units 1 and 2.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consistent with our approval of Montana's regional haze SIP for the
PM BART emission limits and other requirements for Colstrip Units 1 and
2 and Corette along with the NOX, SO2, and PM
BART emission limits and other requirements for Montana City and
Trident, we are also withdrawing those corresponding portions of the
2012 regional haze FIP found at 40 CFR 52.1396.
In addition, through our approval of the NOX and
SO2 BART determinations for Corette and Colstrip Units 1 and
2, we are addressing the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit's
June 9, 2015 remand of portions of the 2012 regional haze FIP in this
action, including EPA's response to a public comment regarding the use
of the CALPUFF visibility model in determining BART at Colstrip Units 1
and 2.
The technical rationale for our approval and our response to the
remand of portions of the 2012 FIP for Montana are provided in detail
in the proposed rule.
II. Public Comments and EPA Responses
We received two comments that were both submitted anonymously
during the public comment period. EPA determined that the first
comment, which asks where money collected in the form of fees, auctions
of emissions rights, and permits will go, does not pertain to and is
outside the scope of our proposed action and fails to identify a
material issue related to this action that necessitates a response.
Below is a summary of the second comment and EPA's response.
Comment: The commenter asserts that NOX, SO2,
and PM are dangerous chemicals that lead to adverse health effects,
including respiratory infections, asthma, lung disease and cancer.
Likewise, the commenter claims that these emissions could also cause
environmental damage, including acid rain, contributions to the
greenhouse effect, and changes to weather patterns associated with
climate change. In summary, the commenter argues that these emissions
are harmful to people living nearby these facilities and reductions in
emissions will protect both human health and the environment.
Response: EPA appreciates the commenter's concerns regarding the
negative health impacts of NOX, SO2, and PM.
While the legal requirements against which we have evaluated Montana's
SIP submission for purposes of this action concern remedying visibility
impairment,\2\ we note this action may also have potential co-benefits
through the reductions of NOX, SO2, and PM
emissions associated with meeting the BART requirements. Therefore,
while we appreciate the commenter's concern and support for this
action, we take no positions as to these specific statements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See generally CAA section 169A.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
[[Page 41322]]
III. EPA's Final Action
We are approving the following elements of Montana's regional haze
SIP revision as satisfying the applicable requirements for the first
regional haze planning period:
In the Matter of an Order Setting Air Pollutant Emission
Limits that the State of Montana may Submit to the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency for Revision of the State
Implementation Plan Concerning Protection of Visibility, Affecting the
Following Facilities: Ash Grove Cement Company's Montana City Plant,
and GCC Three Forks, LLC's Trident Plant. Board Order Findings of Fact,
Conclusions of Law, and Order. October 18, 2019, Appendix A.
In the Matter of an Order Setting Air Pollutant Emission
Limits that the State of Montana may Submit to the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency for Revision of the State
Implementation Plan Concerning Protection of Visibility, Affecting the
Following Facilities: Talen Montana, LLC's Colstrip Steam Electric
Station, Units 1 and 2, and JE Corette Steam Electric Station. Board
Order Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. October 18,
2019, Appendix A.
Because we are finding that Montana's SIP revision satisfies the
applicable requirements related to the obligation for states' regional
haze plans to include BART for the first regional haze planning period,
we are also withdrawing the corresponding portions of the 2012 regional
haze FIP addressing the NOX, SO2, and PM BART
emission limits and associated requirements for two cement kilns and
the PM BART emission limits and associated requirements for the two EGU
facilities contained within our 2012 regional haze FIP at 40 CFR
52.1396. While EPA is approving the emission limits, compliance
determination requirements, and other monitoring, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements associated with BART into Montana's SIP as
detailed in the proposed rule, other regional haze requirements for the
first implementation period, including requirements related to
reasonable progress and analytical requirements related to BART remain
satisfied by EPA's FIP (with no enforceable FIP requirements left in
the CFR).
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with the requirements of 1
CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the SIP
amendments described in section III of this preamble. The EPA has made,
and will continue to make, these materials generally available through
https://www.regulations.gov (refer to docket EPA-R08-OAR-2021-0001) and
at the EPA Region 8 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 by the Director of the
Federal Register in the next update to the SIP compilation.\3\

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Additional information about these statutes and Executive Orders
can be found at http://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.
A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 14094: Modernizing Regulatory Review
This action is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866, as
amended by Executive Order 14094, because it applies to only 4
facilities in the State of Montana.
B. Paperwork Reduction Act
This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) because it revises
the reporting requirements for 4 facilities.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (RFA). This action will not impose any requirements on
small entities as no small entities are subject to the requirements of
this rule.
D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)
This action does not contain an unfunded mandate of $100 million or
more as described in UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. The action merely
transfers the regional haze requirements found in the 2012 regional
haze FIP to a SIP and approves the State's permanent closure of two
facilities, thus this action is not subject to the requirements of
sections 202 or 205 of UMRA. This action is also not subject to the
requirements of section 203 of UMRA because it contains no regulatory
requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small
governments.
E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism
This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the States, on the relationship between
the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.
F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments'', requires EPA to develop an
accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and timely input by tribal
officials in the development of regulatory policies that have tribal
implications.'' \4\ This action does not have tribal implications, as
specified in Executive Order 13175. It will not have substantial direct
effects on tribal governments. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action. However, EPA did send letters to each of the
Montana tribes explaining our regional haze action and offering
consultation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ 65 FR 67249, 67250 (November 9, 2000).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997). EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only
to those regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety
risks that EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not concern an environmental
health risk or safety risk.
H. Executive Order 13211: Actions Concerning Regulations That
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use
This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant
[[Page 41323]]
regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement (NTTAA)
This rulemaking does not involve technical standards.
J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994) directs
Federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by
law, to make environmental justice part of their mission by identifying
and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high, and adverse
human health or environmental effects of their programs, policies, and
activities on minority populations (people of color and/or Indigenous
peoples) and low-income populations.
The EPA believes that the human health and environmental conditions
that exist prior to this action do not result in disproportionate and
adverse effects on people of color, low-income populations, and/or
Indigenous peoples. In 2012, we determined that our final action would
``not have disproportionately high and adverse human health or
environmental effects on minority or low-income populations because it
increased the level of environmental protection for all affected
populations without having any disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects on any population, including any
minority or low-income population.'' \5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ 77 FR 57914 (September 18, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The EPA believes that this action is not likely to result in new
disproportionate and adverse effects on people of color, low-income
populations and/or Indigenous peoples. Because this final rule alters
the existing requirements for regional haze in the State of Montana by
including the enforceable shutdown of two sources and otherwise only
transfers existing requirements from a FIP to the SIP, our
determination is unchanged from that in 2012. The EPA additionally
identified and addressed environmental justice concerns by performing a
screening analysis using the EJScreen tool \6\ to evaluate
environmental and demographic indicators for the areas impacted by this
action. These results indicate that areas impacted by this final action
are not potential areas of EJ concern and are not candidates for
further EJ review. EPA is providing this information for public
information purposes, and not as a basis of our final action. The
information supporting this Executive Order review is contained in the
docket for this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ EJSCREEN is an environmental justice mapping and screening
tool that provides EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and
approach for combining environmental and demographic indicators;
available at https://www.epa.gov/ejscreen/what-ejscreen.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
K. Determination Under Clean Air Act Section 307(d)
The partial withdrawal of EPA's FIP in this action is subject to
the provisions of CAA section 307(d) pursuant to section 307(d)(1)(B),
which provides that section 307(d) applies to, among other things,
``the promulgation or revision of an implementation plan by the
Administrator under [CAA section 110(c)].'' \7\ The agency has complied
with the procedural requirements of CAA section 307(d) during the
course of this rulemaking with regard to the entirety of this action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ 42 U.S.C. 7607(d)(1)(B).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
L. Congressional Review Act
This rule is exempt from the Congressional Review Act (CRA) because
it is a rule of particular applicability that only applies to 4
facilities.
M. Judicial Review
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 August 25, 2023. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for 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 CAA section 307(b)(2).
