 BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


                   Flexibility in the HCFC Allowance System

The EPA established the framework for the HCFC allowance system on January 21, 2003 (68 FR 2820). The rule (referred to as the 2003 Final Rule) established an allowance transfer mechanism to provide flexibility to the regulated community and laid the groundwork for the flexible mechanisms within the HCFC phaseout program today. In preparation for the 2003 Final Rule, EPA issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM) and a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). The preambles to the ANPRM, NPRM and 2003 Final Rule provide detailed insight into the development of the HCFC allowance system. While companies should always refer to the most recent regulations for formal requirements and specific information, this fact sheet highlights the flexibilities incorporated into the HCFC allowance system.

Abbreviations
CAA  -  Clean Air Act
ODS  -  Ozone-depleting substance
ODP  -  Ozone depletion potential

Inter-pollutant Transfers
Any allowance holder may transfer their current year allowances for one HCFC into allowances for another HCFC in that same year (40 CFR 82.23(b)). Every transfer is weighted by the ozone depletion potential (ODP) of the two chemicals involved in the transfer. As stated in the preamble to the 2003 Final Rule, "inter-pollutant transfers allow companies to respond to market forces and achieve economies of scale in production and import."An offset of 0.1 percent is required for any inter-pollutant transfer as a way to meet requirements in section 607 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), which says that transfers must result in less production or consumption than would occur in the absence of such a transfer.

Example of an inter-pollutant transfer: A company has 10,000 kilograms of HCFC-142b allowances, and it wishes to transfer those allowances into HCFC-22 for a specific year. The result of the transfer would be 11,806 kilograms of HCFC-22, based on the ODPs of the two chemicals (0.065 and 0.055, respectively), and the 0.1 percent offset.

Step 1: Convert based on ODP

10,000 kg HCFC - 142b x 0.065 0.055 =11,818 kg HCFC - 22

Step 2: Subtract the 0.1 percent offset

11,818 kg-0.00111,818 kg=11,806 kg HCFC - 22

EPA intends to approve inter-pollutant transfers, including those between companies, only on a year-by-year basis. The EPA will process inter-pollutant transfers within three working days after receiving the complete request. EPA will send a reply showing the new balance of unexpended allowances. EPA's decision to provide such a fast processing time was intended to ensure that transfers are easy and EPA's role is not disruptive to market transactions.

Inter-company Transfers
Inter-company transfers are transfers of allowances from one company to another company (40 CFR 82.23(a)). For example, Company A would transfer its allowances to Company B who wished to have more allowances. Production, consumption and Article 5 allowances all may be transferred on a calendar-year basis. Additionally, one company may permanently transfer its baseline allocation to another company. EPA processes all transfer requests, with the requisite 0.1 percent offset, within three working days of receiving the complete request.

Inter-company and Inter-pollutant Transfers
Companies can conduct both an inter-company and inter-pollutant transfer simultaneously (40 CFR 82.23(c)). For example, Company A, who holds HCFC-123 allowances, can transfer its HCFC-123 allowances to Company B, who then transfers the allowances to HCFC-22 based on the relative ODPs. In this instance, if Company B wanted HCFC-22 (ODP=0.055), Company A would have to transfer 2.75 kg of HCFC-123 (ODP=0.02) for each kg of HCFC-22, plus a 0.1 percent offset. If Company B wanted 100,000 kg of HCFC-22, the resultant transfer would be:

      Company A transfers 275,000 kg of HCFC-123, plus the 0.1 percent offset of 275 kg

      Company B receives 100,000 kg of HCFC-22

EPA intends to approve inter-pollutant transfers, including those between companies, only on a year-by-year basis. EPA processes all transfer requests, with the requisite 0.1 percent offset, within three working days of receiving the complete request.

Refund of Consumption Allowances for Exported HCFCs
The EPA requires a company to expend both consumption and production allowances to be able to domestically produce HCFCs (40 CFR 82.15(a)(2)). To be able to import, the EPA requires a company to expend consumption allowances (40 CFR 82.15(b)). A company may submit the proper documentation to the agency to verify the export of an HCFC for which consumption allowances were expended, and in turn receive a refund of the consumption allowances associated with the quantity of HCFC exported. The exporter indicates to whom the consumption allowances should be granted, whether it is the producer, importer or exporter. The exact information that must be submitted to the agency is described in 40 CFR 82.20. In the case of HCFC blends, allowances would be refunded for each HCFC in the blend, weighted by the percentage of that chemical within the blend. All refunds of consumption allowances for exported HCFCs are only valid for the year in which the HCFCs were exported.

Additional Flexibilities
   * EPA decided in the 2003 Final Rule not to group Class II HCFCs in order to allow for maximum transfer flexibility within Class II substances. In contrast, Class I substances were grouped and transfers were only permitted between substances in the same group.
   * The offset required in accordance with section 607 of the CAA is only 0.1 percent for HCFCs, in contrast to one percent for Class I substances. Commenters to the proposed 2003 rule said that an offset ratio no higher than the proposed 0.1 percent would contribute to flexibility in the system.
   * International transfers of production and consumption allowances are allowed, with certain specifications as laid out in 40 CFR 82.18(c) and 82.20(b).

Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements
In addition to requesting permission for inter-pollutant and/or inter-company transfers, companies must report to EPA on a quarterly basis. Quarterly and annual reports document the quantity (in kilograms) of HCFCs produced, imported, exported, transformed and/or destroyed. EPA encourages electronic reporting, which is utilized by many companies as a means of reducing reporting and recordkeeping costs. The full recordkeeping and reporting requirements appear at 40 CFR 82.24. All relevant reporting forms, along with instructions for electronic reporting, can be found at http://www.epa.gov/ozone/record/classtwo.html.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-64005; File No. SR-FINRA-2011-007]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority, Inc.; Notice of Filing and Immediate Effectiveness of
Proposed Rule Change Relating to Correct Cross-References in the
Customer Code

March 2, 2011.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on February 16, 2011, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
(``FINRA'') filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``SEC''
or ``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in Items I and
II below, which Items have been substantially prepared by FINRA. FINRA
has designated the proposed rule change as concerned solely with the
administration of the self-regulatory organization under

Section 19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \3\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(3)
thereunder,\4\ which renders the proposal effective upon receipt of
this filing by the Commission. The Commission is publishing this notice
to solicit comments on the proposed rule change from interested
persons.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \4\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    FINRA is proposing to amend various rules of the Code of
Arbitration Procedure for Customer Disputes (Customer Code) to correct
cross-references to rules that were changed by the approval of another
rule filing.
    The text of the proposed rule change is available on FINRA's Web
site at http://www.finra.org, at the principal office of FINRA and at
the Commission's Public Reference Room.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, FINRA included statements
concerning the purpose of and basis for the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. FINRA has prepared summaries, set forth in sections A,
B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    On January 31, 2011, the SEC approved a proposal to amend the panel
composition rule, and related rules, of the Customer Code to provide
customers with the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in
all cases (Optional All Public Panel Proposal).\5\ The proposal changed
substantively most of the rules in Part IV of the Customer Code to
reflect the option to choose an all public arbitration panel in all
cases. Further, many of the Part IV rules of the Customer Code were
also re-numbered when some of the old rules were eliminated or combined
with other rules. As a result of the changes by the proposal, several
cross-references to old Part IV rules in other rules of the Customer
Code became inaccurate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 63799 (Jan. 31,
2011), 76 FR 6500 (Feb. 4, 2011) (Order Approving File No. SR-FINRA-
2010-053).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    FINRA is, therefore, proposing to amend the Customer Code to
correct the cross-references that were changed as a result of the
Optional All Public Panel Proposal.\6\ The new proposal would amend
Rules 12213(a), 12309(c), 12314, 12503(c), 12800(e), and 12903(a).
FINRA has filed the proposed rule change for immediate effectiveness.
The effective date and the implementation date will be the date of
filing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    FINRA believes that the proposed rule change is consistent with the
provisions of Section 15A(b)(6) of the Act,\7\ which requires, among
other things, that FINRA rules must be designed to prevent fraudulent
and manipulative acts and practices, to promote just and equitable
principles of trade, and, in general, to protect investors and the
public interest. FINRA believes that the proposed rule change will
assist in the efficient administration of arbitrations by correcting
inaccurate cross-references in the Customer Code. FINRA believes these
technical, non-substantive amendments will enhance the Code by making
it easier to understand and apply.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \7\ 15 U.S.C. 78o-3(b)(6).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    FINRA does not believe that the proposed rule change will result in
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants, or Others

    Written comments were neither solicited nor received.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Because the foregoing proposed rule change is concerned solely with
the administration of the self-regulatory organization, it has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act \8\ and paragraph
(f)(3) of Rule 19b-4 thereunder.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \9\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings to
determine whether the proposed rule should be approved or disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

BILLING CODE 6717-01-P


Comments on PMcoarse monitoring requirements and Appendix O   Federal Reference Method The first comment goes back to the proposed standard and its subjective nature. EPA consistently defines what they want to regulate as a subset of particles, not only in terms of size ( 2.5 to 10 microns in size) but also in terms of kind alternatively defined in three ways: 1. This: focus on coarse particles associated with sources typically found in urban areas is derived from the available epidemiological studies, which examined exposure to unenriched natural crustal materials, as well as dosimetric evidence and toxicological studies. 2. Not this: These studies did not support the association of health effects with PM10 2.5 concentrations resulting from the suspension by wind of uncontaminated natural crustal materials of geologic origin. 3. Not this: available evidence does not support either the existence or the lack of causative associations for community exposures to coarse particles from agricultural or mining sources.

4. This: PM10 2.5, qualified so as to include any ambient mix of PM10 2.5 that is dominated by sources typically found in urban environments, such as resuspended dust from high density traffic on paved roads, industrial sources, and construction activities, 5. Not this: exclude any ambient mix of particles that is dominated by rural windblown dust and soils and agricultural and mining sources.

( Bold terminology is repeated many places) in monitoring and the preamble, etc. It doesn't sound like fire ( silvicultural) is in either part   not particularly included, not excluded. Agricultural burning might get a " by", but the emphasis of the exclusion is more on crustal material. But the map of the monitor locations ( p 15) seems to show the effect of the PM10 values from wind borne dust/ soil in addition to just population. EPA mentions perhaps using the source codes to better characterize the sources of interest. We recommend that approach rather than singling out fire for example as " in", " out", or " unclear".

Second Comment: The question to me is whether the monitoring requirements are set up to really focus on urban areas and if they are going to avoid less populated areas that might include farms and/ or forested areas that might need to have fire as a treatment. The proposal is a complicated proposal based on three types of monitors: one close to sources, one close to concentrations of people, and one in more suburban areas. That also has some principles in addition that relate to US Census block groups and population density. The proposal is for clusters of block groups with a similar density of greater than 500 persons per square mile in communities greater than 50,000 persons in size. The monitor locations are more likely to be located with a population basis like the PM2.5 monitors which have median density of 2,306 persons per square mile ( p33). The wildland urban interface ( WUI) burning that the Forest Service is doing in conjunction with other agencies based on the emphasis in the Healthy Forest Restoration Act is on the edge of some of these communities. The Smoke Management programs that are in place would apply and not the Natural and Exceptional Events Policy. Some mitigations; States have to get their monitoring plans approved; one of the principles is that monitoring " on the fence line" would not be used for regulatory purposes for PMcoarse. EPA is clear about the urban emphasis, but should clarify how if at all small farm and WUI might be inadvertently included.

Third Comment: There is some rural monitoring allowed, but EPA wants to tie it to two other monitoring networks: CASTNET ( PM2.5 speciated) and IMPROVE ( Forest Service Operates many of these) ( visibility, PM10 and 2.5 speciated). EPA should specify if there would be changes in the protocols to be closer to the PM coarse monitors.

Fourth: Speciation monitors are proposed in addition. It is not clear what species will be monitored for or if it is basically like the CASTNET sites. EPA should specify if there are different filter requirements and what chemicals they will be looking for.

Finally: The EPA's proposed Federal Reference Method is the subtraction method taking simultaneous PM10 ( specially adapted and improved), and PM2.5, weighing the filters and subtracting the weights to get the weight of PMcoarse. SAFE TEA specifically requires EPA to develop a separate device to monitor PMcoarse and not use the difference. EPA makes a case on why they have to propose this while they develop such a monitor. EPA should include two things, an analysis of how much the improved PM10c monitor will be over the PM10 existing monitors, and more information on other methodologies considered.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2018-0598; FRL-9999-55--Region 4]

Air Plan Approval; NC: Revision to I/M Program & Update to
Charlotte Maintenance Plan for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted
by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality, Division of
Air Quality (DAQ), on July 25, 2018, which revises the model year
coverage for vehicles in the 22 counties subject to North Carolina's
expanded inspection and maintenance (I/M) program. The SIP revision
also includes a demonstration that the requested revision to the
vehicle model year coverage will not interfere with attainment or
maintenance of any national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) or
with any other applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA or
Act). In addition, North Carolina's July 25, 2018, SIP revision updates
the State's maintenance plan and associated motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEBs) used in transportation conformity for the North
Carolina portion of the Charlotte-Rock Hill, NC-SC 2008 8-hour ozone
nonattainment area (hereafter also referred to as the ``Area'' or the
``Charlotte Area'') to reflect the change in vehicle model year
coverage for the I/M program. EPA has determined that North Carolina's
July 25, 2018, SIP revision will not interfere with and is consistent
with the applicable provisions of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act).

DATES: This rule will be effective October 11, 2019.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket
Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR-2018-0598. All documents in the docket

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    In response to a North Carolina legislative act signed by the
Governor on May 4, 2017, which changed the State's I/M requirements for
the 22 counties subject to the State's expanded I/M program,\1\ DAQ
provided a SIP revision through a letter dated July 25, 2018,\2\
seeking to have several of these changes incorporated into the North
Carolina SIP. Primarily, North Carolina's July 25, 2018, SIP revision
makes substantive changes to the applicability section of North
Carolina's SIP-approved expanded I/M program found within 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02D .1000 Motor Vehicle Emission
Control Standard.\3\ Specifically, the July 25, 2018, SIP revision
modifies Section .1002 Applicability, by changing, for applicability
purposes, the vehicle model year coverage for the 22 counties subject
to the expanded I/M program from a specific year-based timeframe for
coverage (i.e., beginning in 1996) to a rolling 20-year timeframe for
coverage.\4\ More precisely, the revision being approved changes the
applicability of the expanded I/M program to: (i) A vehicle with a
model year within 20 years of the current year and older than the three
most recent model years; or (ii) a vehicle with a model year within 20
years of the current year and has 70,000 miles or more on its odometer.
Previously, the program applied to: (i) A 1996 or later model year
vehicle and older than the three most recent model years; or (ii) a
1996 or later model year vehicle and has 70,000 miles or more on its
odometer. It is estimated that this change will result in a small
increase (less than one percent) in nitrogen oxides (NOx) and volatile
organic compound (VOC) emissions. Additionally, the July 25, 2018, SIP
revision makes formatting or other minor clarifying changes to several
related SIP-approved I/M sections: .1001 Purpose, .1003 Definitions,
and .1005 On-Board Diagnostic Standards.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Under provisions of the State legislation, Session Law 2017-
10, Senate Bill 131, the changes to North Carolina's I/M
requirements for the 22 counties is not effective until the later of
the following dates: October 1, 2017, or the first day of a month
that is 60 days after the Secretary of the Department of
Environmental Quality certifies that EPA has approved the SIP
revision. The 22 counties are: Alamance, Buncombe, Cabarrus,
Cumberland, Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Guilford,
Iredell, Johnston, Lee, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Onslow,
Randolph, Rockingham, Rowan, Union and Wake. See clarification
letter dated August 31, 2018, from North Carolina in the docket for
the proposed rulemaking.
    \2\ EPA received North Carolina's SIP submittal on July 31,
2018.
    \3\ In the table of North Carolina regulations federally-
approved into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.1770(c), 15A NCAC 02D is referred
to as ``Subchapter 2D Air Pollution Control Requirements.''
    \4\ By its terms, Section .1002(d) makes the 22 counties
identified in North Carolina General Statute 143-215.107A subject to
the I/M program's emission control standards. These same 22 counites
are the counties currently subject to North Carolina's SIP-approved
I/M program which was expanded from 9 counties to 48 counties in
2002 (and is referred to as the ``expanded'' I/M program). See 83 FR
48383 (September 25, 2018) (removing 26 of the 48 counties from
North Carolina's SIP-approved expanded I/M program and leaving the
22 counties identified in footnote 1 above as remaining). In
addition, changes to Section .1002 also include language making the
effective date of the change to the vehicle model year coverage
correspond to the effective date set out in North Carolina Session
Law 2017-10 referred to in footnote 1 above (i.e., on the first day
of the month that is 60 days after EPA approves the change into the
SIP).
    \5\ As noted in the notice of proposed rulemaking, North
Carolina did not request EPA to act--and EPA is not acting--on
sections .1006 and .1008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, North Carolina's SIP revision evaluates the impact
that the change to the vehicle model year coverage for the 22 counties
would have on the State's ability to attain and maintain the NAAQS. The
SIP revision contains a technical demonstration with revised emissions
calculations showing that the change to Section .1002 for vehicle model
year coverage for the expanded I/M program in the 22 counties will not
interfere with North Carolina's attainment or maintenance of any NAAQS
or with any other applicable requirement of the CAA. Based on this
demonstration, EPA is taking final action to find that North Carolina's
revised emissions calculations demonstrate that the change to the
expanded I/M program for the 22 counties meets the requirements of CAA
section 110(l) and will not interfere with State's ability to attain or
maintain any NAAQS. In addition, EPA is taking final action to find
that North Carolina's July 25, 2018, SIP revision to change the vehicle
model year coverage for the 22 counties subject to the expanded I/M
program contained in its SIP (which results in a small increase in NOx
emissions and consequentially a small decrease in the amount of
emissions reduction credits generated and available for use in the
State's NOX emissions budget) will not interfere with the
State's obligations under the NOx SIP Call to meet its Statewide
NOX emissions budget. With regard to the related expanded I/
M program provisions at Sections .1001, .1002, and .1003, EPA is taking
final action to approve the changes to those Sections, which are
formatting or clarifying in nature, do not alter the meaning of the
Sections, and are thus approvable.
    Finally, for 7 of the 22 counties in North Carolina's expanded I/M
program, I/M emissions from those counties have been relied on by North
Carolina for maintenance of the ozone NAAQS for the Charlotte Area, and
the MVEBs with respect to the Area for transportation conformity
purposes. Through the July 25, 2018, SIP revision (the subject of this
rulemaking), North Carolina provided a maintenance demonstration for
the Area that takes into account the small increase in NOX
and VOC emissions estimated to result from the change to the vehicle
model year coverage for the expanded I/M program for these counties.
EPA is taking final action to approve the updated emissions for the
2008 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for the North Carolina portion of
the Charlotte Area because it demonstrates that the projected emissions
inventories for 2026 (the final year of the maintenance plan), 10 years
beyond the re-designation year, as well as the interim years, are all
less than the base year emissions inventory. Further, EPA is approving
the updated sub-area MVEBs for the Charlotte Area because EPA has
determined that the Area maintains the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS with the
emissions at the levels of the budgets, and that the budgets meet the
adequacy criteria (see 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4)) because they are consistent
with maintenance of the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS through 2026.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Once the sub-area MVEBs for the North Carolina portion of
the Charlotte Area are approved or found adequate (whichever is
completed first), they must be used for future conformity
determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published on May 20, 2019
(84 FR 22774), EPA proposed approval of the North Carolina July 25,
2018, SIP revision to amend the I/M program for North Carolina, in
addition to other associated changes as described above and in the
NPRM. The details of North Carolina's submission and the rationale for
EPA's actions are explained in the NPRM. EPA received one significant,
adverse comment on the proposed

action during the comment period for this action and offers a response
below.

II. Response to Comments

    Comment: The Commenter claims EPA must disapprove the changes to
North Carolina I/M SIP because the Commenter explains that North
Carolina failed to do performance standard modeling as the Commenter
asserts is required by EPA's February 2014 guidance document titled
``Performance Standard Modeling for New and Existing Vehicle Inspection
and Maintenance (I/M) Programs Using the MOVES Mobile Source Emissions
Model'' (hereafter referred to as the February 2014 Guidance Document),
available in the docket for this action. In the Commenter's opinion EPA
must require states to do performance standard modeling when states
revise their I/M programs to ensure the programs meet EPA's baseline
requirements contained in 40 CFR part 51.
    Response: The February 2014 Guidance Document provides
clarification of 40 CFR part 51, subpart S, regarding how to quantify
I/M emission reductions for planning purposes using the MOVES
generation of mobile source emission factor models. The February 2014
Guidance Document clarifies that maintenance areas do not need to
include I/M performance standard modeling as part of an I/M SIP
revision. Specifically, the February 2014 Guidance Document includes
the following question and response: ``4.0 Can an I/M Program be
Changed Without Doing Performance Standard Modeling? States can change
their I/M programs without doing performance standard modeling if the
I/M program area in question has been redesignated to attainment for
the pollutant(s) that originally triggered the I/M requirement and the
I/M program is being continued as part of the area's maintenance plan.
In this case, the state must simply demonstrate that the revisions to
the I/M program will not interfere with the area's ability to attain or
maintain any NAAQS, or with any other applicable CAA requirement.'' As
discussed in the May 20, 2019 (84 FR 22774) NPRM, North Carolina's I/M
program for nine counties was required due to nonattainment areas for
the 1979 1-hour ozone NAAQS,\7\ and North Carolina is currently in
attainment statewide for all the ozone NAAQS.\8\ As further discussed
in the NPRM, the program was expanded to additional counties related to
the NOX SIP Call, however the State was not required to
adopt the I/M requirements for the NOX SIP Call. Therefore,
the option to change the I/M program without performance standard
modeling under 40 CFR part 51, subpart S, was available to North
Carolina if the State could demonstrate continued attainment. North
Carolina provided a non-interference section 110(l) demonstration, as
well as an update for modeling for the Charlotte Area maintenance plan
including MVEBs that demonstrate the Area will continue to maintain the
standard for the duration of the plan. In addition, EPA analyzed the
effects on the NOX SIP call and found that the change will
not interfere with the State's obligations under the NOX SIP
Call. A detailed analysis of this modeling and demonstration of
continued attainment is provided in the May 20, 2019 (84 FR 22774)
NPRM.

    \8\ The Charlotte Area was redesignated to attainment for the 1-
hour ozone standard on July 5, 1995 (60 FR 34859); redesignated to
attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard on December 2, 2013
(78 FR 72036); and was designated to attainment for the 2008 8-hour
ozone standard on July 28, 2015 (80 FR 44873). In addition, on
December 26, 2007, EPA approved the Redesignation to attainment of
the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area (comprised of a portion of
Chatham County, and the entire counties of Durham, Franklin,
Granville, Johnston, Orange, Person, and Wake) for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard. See 72 FR 72948. This approval included approval of
a 10-year maintenance plan which demonstrated that the Area would
maintain the standard through the year 2017. The Raleigh-Durham-
Chapel Hill Area has continued to maintain the 1997 8-hour ozone
standard and subsequently was designated as unclassifiable/
attainment for the 2008 8-hour ozone standard on May 21, 2012 (77 FR
30088. Further, counties in the Raleigh Area and Greensboro Area
were redesignated to attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard on
April 18, 1994 (59 FR 18300) and on September 9, 1993 (58 FR 47391),
respectively. With regard to the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, the

Recently, on November 6, 2017 (82 FR 54232), EPA designated the
entire state of North Carolina attainment/unclassifiable for the
2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS.

III. 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 the
following air quality rules in Subchapter 2D Air Pollution Control
Requirements, Section .1001 Purpose, Section .1002 Applicability,
Section .1003 Definitions, and Section .1005 On-Board Diagnostic
Standards, effective July 1, 2018, which makes changes that are
formatting or clarifying in nature and modify the vehicle model year
coverage requirements for the 22 counties in North Carolina's expanded
I/M program. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials
generally available through www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA
Region 4 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 CAA 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.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ See 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

IV. Final Action

    EPA is taking final action to approve North Carolina's July 25,
2018, SIP revision. Specifically, EPA is approving the formatting and
clarifying changes to Subchapter 2D, Sections .1001, .1003 and .1005.
EPA is also finalizing approval of changes to Section .1002 relating to
the vehicle model year coverage for the 22 counties in North Carolina's
expanded I/M program (Alamance, Buncombe, Cabarrus, Cumberland,
Davidson, Durham, Forsyth, Franklin, Gaston, Guilford, Iredell,
Johnston, Lee, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, New Hanover, Onslow, Randolph,
Rockingham, Rowan, Union and Wake). Additionally, EPA finds that the
changes to the vehicle model year coverage for the 22 counties in North
Carolina's expanded I/M program will not interfere with the State's
obligations under the NOx SIP Call to meet its Statewide NOx emissions
budget and will not interfere with continued attainment or maintenance
of any applicable NAAQS or with any other applicable requirement of the
CAA, and that North Carolina has satisfied the requirements of section
110(l) of the CAA. Finally, EPA is approving the updated emissions for
the 2008 8-hour ozone maintenance plan, including the updated MVEBs,
for the Charlotte Area.

V. 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, if
they meet the criteria of the CAA. These actions merely approve state
law as meeting Federal requirements and do

not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
For that reason, these actions:
     Are not significant regulatory actions 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);
     Are not Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory actions because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Do not impose information collection burdens under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Are certified as not having significant economic impacts
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Do not contain any unfunded mandates or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Do not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Are not economically significant regulatory actions based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Are not significant regulatory actions subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Are 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
     Do 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, these rules
do not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175
(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor will they 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 these actions 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. These actions are not ``major rules'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of these actions must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals
for the appropriate circuit by November 12, 2019. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of these final rules does not
affect the finality of these actions 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. These actions may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce their requirements. See section 307(b)(2).
