ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 55

[EPA-R01-OAR-2021-0790; FRL-9265-01-R1]

Outer Continental Shelf Air Regulations; Consistency Update for
Massachusetts

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). The
portion of the OCS air regulations that is being updated pertains to
the requirements for OCS sources for which Massachusetts is the
designated COA. The intended effect of approving requirements of the
Massachusetts

Department of Environmental Protection is to regulate emissions from
OCS sources in accordance with the requirements for onshore sources.
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts' 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 December 23,
2021.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R01-
OAR-2021-0790 at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

I. Background and Purpose

    On September 4, 1992, the EPA promulgated 40 CFR part 55,\1\ which
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
Clean Air Act (CAA). The regulations at 40 CFR part 55 apply to all OCS
sources offshore of the states except those located in the Gulf of
Mexico west of 87.5 degrees longitude. 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 the 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; (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 the EPA
to be considered for incorporation by reference in 40 CFR part 55. This
proposed action is being taken in response to the submittal of a NOI on
September 9, 2021 by Sunrise Wind, LLC. Public comments received in
writing within 30 days of publication of this document will be
considered by the EPA before publishing a final rule.
    Section 328(a) of the CAA requires that the 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, the EPA must
incorporate applicable onshore rules into 40 CFR part 55 as they exist
onshore. This limits the EPA's flexibility in deciding which
requirements will be incorporated into 40 CFR part 55 and prevents the
EPA from making substantive changes to the requirements it
incorporates. As a result, the EPA may be incorporating rules into 40
CFR part 55 that do not conform to all of the 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 the EPA for inclusion in the SIP.

II. EPA's Evaluation

    In updating 40 CFR part 55, the EPA reviewed the 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. The EPA has also evaluated the rules to
ensure they are not arbitrary or capricious. See 40 CFR 55.12(e). In
addition, the EPA has excluded administrative or procedural rules,\2\
and requirements that regulate toxics which are not related to the
attainment and maintenance of federal and state ambient air quality
standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

    The EPA is soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in
this document or on other relevant matters. These comments will be
considered before taking final action. Interested parties may
participate in the Federal rulemaking procedure by submitting written
comments to the EPA New England Region Office listed in the ADDRESSES
section of this Federal Register.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA last completed a consistency update for Massachusetts on
November 13, 2018 (83 FR 56259). In that action, EPA incorporated by
reference into 40 CFR 55 all Massachusetts regulations that EPA
believed were relevant to the

OCS requirements. For this action, EPA has reviewed changes that
Massachusetts has made to its underlying regulatory programs since the
last consistency update for Massachusetts. This action will have no
effect on the provisions of 310 CMR 8.00 that were not subject to
changes by Massachusetts and were also previously incorporated by
reference into part 55 through EPA's November 13, 2018 rulemaking.
    The EPA is proposing to incorporate the rules potentially
applicable to sources for which the Commonwealth of Massachusetts will
be the COA. The rules that the EPA proposes to incorporate are
applicable provisions of (1) 310 Code of Massachusetts Regulations
(CMR) 4.00: Timely Action Schedule and Fee Provisions; (2) 310 CMR
6.00: Ambient Air Quality Standards for the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts; and (3) 310 CMR 7.00: Air Pollution Control as amended
through March 5, 2021. The rules that EPA proposes to incorporate in
this action will replace the provisions of 310 CMR 4.00, 310 CMR 6.00,
and 310 CMR 7.00 that were previously incorporated into 40 CFR part 55
for Massachusetts. See 83 FR 56259; November 13, 2018.
    With respect to the Air Pollution Control regulations at 310 CMR
7.00, Massachusetts is divided into six regions known as air pollution
control districts, three of which (Merrimack Valley, Metropolitan
Boston, and Southeastern Massachusetts) are coastal.\3\ Many of the
specific provisions of the Air Pollution Control regulations are
limited to certain air pollution control districts, or apply
differently in different air pollution control districts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ These districts are not associated with separate air
pollution control agencies; they are purely conceptual.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In interpreting such provisions as they are incorporated into 40
CFR part 55, the EPA proposes to treat any existing or proposed OCS
source as if it were located in the specific air pollution control
district that is geographically closest to the source. The EPA is
relying on this interpretation for purposes of this action. If the EPA
does not receive comments to the contrary from any party during the
public comment period, the interpretation stated above will represent
the EPA's formal interpretations of the provisions incorporated into 40
CFR part 55 for the purposes of federal law.
    The interpretation discussed above is consistent with the
interpretation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts regulations in
prior Agency actions for the purpose of consistency updates under 40
CFR part 55. See 83 FR 5971 (February 12, 2018) and 73 FR 10406
(February 27, 2008).

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the 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, the EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference the Code of Massachusetts Regulations rules
set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials available through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 1
Regional 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, the 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 to make them
consistent with requirements onshore, without the exercise of any
policy direction by the EPA. 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 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 Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide the 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, this rule does have tribal implications as specified
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it
does not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes,
on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes,
or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the
Federal Government and Indian tribes, nor does it impose substantial
direct compliance costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    This action does not impose any new information collection burden
under the Paperwork Reduction Act. See 44 U.S.C 3501. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) has previously approved the information
collection activities contained in the existing regulation at 40 CFR
part 55 and, by extension, this update to part 55, and has assigned OMB
control number 2060-0249.\4\ This action does not impose a new
information burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act because this
action only updates the state rules that are incorporated by reference
into 40 CFR part 55, Appendix A.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Includes transaction volume from the OTP Holder's or OTP Firm's affiliates.
** For the month of May 2012, calculation of average electronic executions per day shall begin on May 8, 2012.

    The Exchange proposes to amend the Fee Schedule as follows. First,
the Exchange proposes to eliminate the transitional tiers for
electronic executions of posted Customer liquidity in Penny Pilot
issues that were applicable through May 7, 2012 because they will no
longer apply as of June 1, 2012.
    Second, for the Customer monthly posting tier qualifications, the
Exchange proposes that each qualification calculation also include an
OTP Holder's or OTP Firm's executions of Electronic Complex Orders,
including those from the OTP Holder's or OTP Firm's affiliates, for all
issues and regardless of account type.\4\ For example, to qualify for
Tier 2, an OTP Holder or OTP Firm would be required to either execute
electronically (1) an average daily volume (``ADV'') of 25,000
contracts from the combination of (i) posted Customer orders in Penny
Pilot issues and (ii) Electronic Complex Orders from all OTP Holders
and Firms and their affiliates, in all issues and regardless of account
type, or (2) an ADV of 75,000 contracts from the combination of (i)
posted contracts in Penny Pilot issues, regardless of account type, and
(ii) Electronic Complex Orders from all OTP Holders and Firms and their
affiliates, in all issues and regardless of account type. There would
be no change to the credit rates that correspond to the tiers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ Although the Exchange will include these Electronic Complex
Orders in the calculation of the Customer monthly posting tier
qualifications, executions of Electronic Complex Orders will not
receive a credit under this section of the Fee Schedule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Finally, the Exchange proposes to amend the rates for Electronic
Complex Order executions. Under NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.91, an
Electronic Complex Order means any Complex Order \5\ or any Stock/
Option Order \6\ or Stock/Complex Order \7\ that is entered into the
NYSE Arca System. As proposed, all Complex to Complex Order executions
would be 0.06 per contract side, rather than the current 0.10 per
contract side. Additionally, a Complex to Complex Order for which the
same OTP Holder or OTP Firm represents both sides will no longer be
free, but would instead be charged the 0.06 rate per contract side
proposed herein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Under NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.62(e), a Complex Order is any
order involving the simultaneous purchase and/or sale of two or more
different option series in the same underlying security, for the
same account, in a ratio that is equal to or greater than one-to-
three (.333) and less than or equal to three-to-one (3.00) and for
the purpose of executing a particular investment strategy.
    \6\ Under NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.62(h), a Stock/Option Order
is an order to buy or sell a stated number of units of an underlying
stock or a security convertible into the underlying stock
(``convertible security'') coupled with the purchase or sale of
option contract(s) on the opposite side of the market representing
either (A) the same number of units of the underlying stock or
convertible security, or (B) the number of units of the underlying
stock necessary to create a delta neutral position, but in no case
in a ratio greater than eight option contracts per unit of trading
of the underlying stock or convertible security established for that
series by the Options Clearing Corporation.
    \7\ Under NYSE Arca Options Rule 6.62(h), a Stock/Complex Order
is the purchase or sale of a Complex Order coupled with an order to
buy or sell a stated number of units of an underlying stock or a
security convertible into the underlying stock (``convertible
security'') representing either: (A) The same number of units of the
underlying stock or convertible security as are represented by the
options leg of the Complex Order with the least number of Options
contracts, or (B) the number of units of the underlying stock
necessary to create a delta neutral position, but in no case in a
ratio greater than 8 options contracts per unit of trading of the
underlying stock or convertible security established for that series
by the Clearing Corporation, as represented by the options leg of
the Complex Order with the least number of options contracts.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change is consistent
with Section 6(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the
``Act''),\8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(4)
of the Act,\9\ in particular, because it provides for the equitable
allocation of reasonable dues, fees, and other charges among its
members, issuers and other persons using its facilities and does not
unfairly discriminate between customers, issuers, brokers or dealers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(4).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that deleting outdated text adds clarity to
the Fee Schedule and makes it easier to use.
    The Exchange believes that charging all Complex to Complex Order
executions $0.06 per contract side, rather than the current $0.10 per
contract side, and eliminating the special rate (i.e., no charge) for
Complex to Complex Orders when the same firm represents both sides is
reasonable, equitable, and non-discriminatory because the Exchange has
determined that the special rate has not led to increased trading
volumes and therefore it would be more equitable to charge all
participants the same rate.
    The Exchange further believes that including Electronic Complex
Orders in the eligibility for Customer posting credits in Penny Pilot
issues is reasonable, equitable, and not unfairly discriminatory
because it would incent OTP Holders and OTP Firms to increase the level
of order flow sent to, and liquidity added on, the Exchange, thereby
potentially improving the quality and efficiency of order interaction
and executions on the Exchange. The inclusion of Complex trades will
also encourage more complex orders to be sent to the Exchange, thereby
increasing trade opportunities for all participants. The Exchange
further believes that the tiers, as amended, are reasonable, equitable
and not unfairly discriminatory because they are set at levels that
would be more achievable for OTP Holders and OTP Firms. Overall, the
Exchange believes that this will result in more OTP Holders and OTP
Firms qualifying for the tiers, receiving the credits, and therefore
reducing their overall transaction costs on the Exchange. The Exchange
further believes that the proposed change is reasonable, equitable and
not unfairly discriminatory because the tiers, and the corresponding
credits, will apply uniformly to all OTP Holders and OTP Firms.
    Finally, the Exchange notes that it operates in a highly
competitive market in which market participants can readily favor
competing venues. In such an environment, the Exchange must continually
review, and consider adjusting, its fees and credits to remain
competitive with other exchanges. The Exchange believes that the
proposed rule change reflects this competitive environment because it
would broaden the conditions under which OTP Holders and OTP Firms may
qualify for the tiers and because it would result in an increase in the
corresponding credit rates.

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

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose 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

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

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

    The foregoing rule change is effective upon filing pursuant to
Section 19(b)(3)(A) \10\ of the Act and

subparagraph (f)(2) of Rule 19b-4 \11\ thereunder, because it
establishes a due, fee, or other charge imposed by the NYSE Arca.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such 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.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
