40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2019-0217; FRL-10009-27-Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; Kentucky; Infrastructure Requirements for the
2015 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
portions of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, provided by
the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Energy and Environment Cabinet,
Department for Environmental Protection, through the Kentucky Division
for Air Quality (KDAQ), on January 9, 2019, to demonstrate that the
Commonwealth meets the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air Act
(CAA or Act) for the 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality
standard (NAAQS). Whenever EPA promulgates a new or revised NAAQS, the
CAA requires that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the
implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of each such NAAQS. KDAQ
certified that the Kentucky SIP contains provisions that ensure the
2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in
Kentucky. EPA has in this action determined that the Kentucky
infrastructure SIP submissions satisfy certain required infrastructure
elements for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

DATES: This rule is effective July 1, 2020.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2019-0217. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On October 1, 2015, EPA promulgated a revised primary and secondary
NAAQS for ozone revising the 8-hour ozone NAAQS from 0.075 parts per
million (ppm) to a new more protective level of 0.070 ppm. See 80 FR
65292 (October 26, 2015). Pursuant to section 110(a)(1) of the CAA,
states are required to submit SIP submission meeting the applicable
requirements of section 110(a)(2) within three years after promulgation
of a new or revised NAAQS or within such shorter period as EPA may
prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) requires states to address basic SIP
elements such as requirements for monitoring, basic program
requirements and legal authority that are designed to assure attainment
and maintenance of the NAAQS. This particular type of SIP is commonly
referred to as an ``infrastructure SIP.'' States were required to
submit such SIPs for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS to EPA no later than
October 1, 2018.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In these infrastructure SIP submissions States generally
certify evidence of compliance with sections 110(a)(1) and (2) of
the CAA through a combination of state regulations and statutes,
some of which have been incorporated into the federally approved
SIP. In addition, certain federally approved, non-SIP regulations
may also be appropriate for demonstrating compliance with sections
110(a)(1) and (2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This action approves portions of Kentucky's January 9, 2019, SIP
submission for the applicable requirements of the 2015 8-hour ozone
NAAQS. In this action, EPA is not acting upon portions of the
submission pertaining to the interstate transport provisions of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 1 and 2) pertaining to contribution
to nonattainment or interference with maintenance in other states; the
prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) provisions related to
major sources under sections 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prong
3), and 110(a)(2)(J); and air quality modeling and submission of
modeling data under section 110(a)(2)(K). EPA will address these
provisions in separate rulemaking actions.
    In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on March 12,
2020 (85 FR 14442), EPA proposed to approve Kentucky SIP submission
provided on January 9, 2019, for the applicable infrastructure SIP
requirements of the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The March 12, 2020, NPRM
provides additional detail regarding the background and rationale for
EPA's action. Comments were due to EPA on or before April 13, 2020. No
adverse comments were received.

II. Final Action

    With the exception of interstate transport provisions of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prongs 1 and 2), PSD provisions related to major
sources under section 110(a)(2)(C), 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) (prong 3) and
110(a)(2)(J), and air quality models of section 110(a)(2)(K), EPA is
approving Kentucky's January 9, 2019, infrastructure SIP submission for
the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the above described infrastructure SIP
requirements. EPA is approving portions of Kentucky's infrastructure
SIP submission for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS because these aspects of
the submission are consistent with section 110 of the CAA.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. See 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 that they meet the criteria of the CAA. 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 Orders 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 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).
    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 as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will it impose substantial

direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    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 31, 2020. 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).

LaundryESP ®  Laundry Environment and Stewardship Program PROGRAM SUMMARY LaundryESP is designed to enhance environmental excellence and leadership. It is the textile supply and service industry's commitment to environmental stewardship through beneficial practices to conserve natural resources and prevent pollution.

LaundryESP sets the following industry wide resource conservation and pollutant reduction goals, to be measured using data from 1997 through 2002.

  A 10 25% reduction in the gallons of water used per pound of textiles.

  A 10 25% reduction in energy consumption per pound of textiles laundered.

  A 10 25% substitution of environmentally beneficial washroom chemical formulations.

  A significant reduction in pollutants ( 20,000 lb. pollutant equivalent/ yr) discharged to sewers.

To fulfill this commitment, LaundryESP participants have adopted the following guiding principles. Participants will:

1. Develop and integrate environmental programs into corporate policies and procedures.

2. Promote pollution prevention and waste minimization, the legitimate recycling and reuse of materials in processes and those of our customers, and the conservation of natural resources.

3. Forge relationships with customers to reduce the environmental impact of pollutants found on soiled textiles.

4. Encourage the research and development of improved textile cleaning processes and materials used in these processes ( e. g., detergents).

5. Encourage industry vendors to develop energy and water efficient equipment and supplies.

6. Foster employee awareness of their environmental responsibilities within corporate policies.

7. Consider environmental impacts when evaluating new projects, technologies, and production processes. 8. Encourage the use of long lasting, environmentally friendly recyclable textiles.

Participants are pursuing the LaundryESP goals through voluntary initiatives such as:

  Establishment of recycling, reuse and recovery programs within each plant;

  Implementation of best management practices to conserve resources and prevent pollution;

  Self assessments of operations and environmental compliance;

  Use of environmentally beneficial chemicals;

  Installation of more efficient equipment; and   Education of and partnerships with customers to reduce pollutants on incoming soiled textiles.

LaundryESP was created by the Uniform & Textile Service Association ( UTSA) and the Textile Rental Service Association ( TRSA), the two national trade associations that together represent more than 90% of the textile supply and service industry. The program includes large and small companies that have joined together to undertake voluntarily initiatives towards the industry wide achievement of specific environmental goals.

LaundryESP is the most comprehensive examination of the textile supply and service industry and TRSA and UTSA believe it to be one of the most exhaustive analyses of an industry's environmental performance ever attempted. LaundryESP has 135 participating companies ( over 760 processing facilities) representing approximately 70% of the textile supply and service industry's revenues. In addition, twelve wash chemical suppliers have worked with the program to facilitate data collection. To date, over 2200 surveys have been collected resulting in a database containing more than 295,000 data fields. A preliminary analysis of data from the 1997 to 1999 survey years indicates that the program is progressing towards its goals. Collection of the remaining data has been completed and TRSA and UTSA are currently conducting extensive quality assurance checks on the program database. Results with respect the LaundryESP goals are scheduled for release in March 2004.

For additional information please contact David Dunlap, UTSA's Director of Environmental Affairs at 703 247 2608 or George Ferencz, TRSA's Vice President of Operations at 703 519 0029.

Canned Pacific Salmon Deviating From Identity Standard; Amendment
of Temporary Marketing Permit

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending Bumble Bee
Seafoods Inc.'s temporary permit to market test canned skinless and
boneless chunk salmon packed in water that contains sodium
tripolyphosphate to inhibit protein curd formation during retorting.
The temporary permit is amended to allow for the canned skinless and
boneless chunk salmon packed in water with or without sodium
tripolyphosphate and to update the manufacturing location. This
amendment will allow the applicant to continue to test market the test
product and collect data on consumer acceptance of the test product.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Loretta A. Carey, Center for Food
Safety and Applied Nutrition (HFS-820), Food and Drug Administration,
5001 Campus Dr., College Park, MD 20740,<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of July 13, 1987 (52
FR 26186), we issued a notice announcing that we had issued a temporary
permit to Bumble Bee Seafoods, Inc., San Diego, CA 92123, to market
test products identified as canned skinless and boneless chunk salmon
packed in water and containing added sodium tripolyphosphate to inhibit
protein curd formation during retorting. The permit allowed for the
test product to be manufactured at a plant located in Petersburg, AK.
We issued the permit to facilitate market testing of products that
deviate from the requirements of the standard of identity for canned
Pacific salmon in 21 CFR 161.170, which were issued under section 401
of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 341).
    In the Federal Register of April 8, 1988 (53 FR 11710), we issued a
notice announcing that we had amended the temporary permit to permit
the test product be manufactured at one additional plant, Chugach
Alaska Fisheries, Inc., Ocean Dock Rd., Cordova, AK 99574. In the
Federal Register of September 6, 1988 (53 FR 34354), we issued another
notice announcing that we were extending the expiration date of the
permit to either the effective date of a final rule for any proposal to
amend the standard of identity for canned Pacific salmon that may
result from the National Food Processors Association's petition,
submitted on behalf of Bumble Bee Seafoods, Inc., and other salmon
packers holding temporary permits, or 30 days after termination of such
proposal.
    Under our regulations at 21 CFR 130.17(f), we are amending the
temporary permit issued to Bumble Bee Seafoods, Inc., to allow for the
canned skinless and boneless chunk salmon packed in water with or
without sodium tripolyphosphate and to allow the test product to be
manufactured only at one

plant, Pataya Food Industries Ltd., located at 90/6 Moo 7, Settakit
Road, Tambol Tarsai, Amphur Maung, Samutsakorn 74000 Thailand. All
other conditions and terms of this permit remain the same.
