ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2012-0955; FRL-9819-6]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and
West Virginia; Removal of Obsolete Regulations and Updates to Citations
to State Regulations Due to Recodification

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to remove over fifty rules
in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) at 40 CFR part 52 for
Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia,
and West Virginia because they are unnecessary or obsolete. EPA is also
taking direct final action to clarify regulations in 40 CFR part 52 to
reflect updated citations of certain Virginia rules due to the
Commonwealth's recodification of its regulations at the state level.
These direct final actions make no substantive changes to these State
Implementation Plans (SIPs) and impose no new requirements. In the
proposed rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is also proposing
to remove and clarify these regulations and is soliciting public
comment. If adverse comments are received on the direct final rule, EPA
will withdraw the portions of the final rule that triggered the
comments. Any portions of the final rule for which no adverse or
critical comment is received will become final after the designated
period.

DATES: This rule is effective on August 5, 2013 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse written comment by July 8, 2013. If EPA
receives such comments, it will publish a timely withdrawal of that
portion of the direct final rule in the Federal Register which is
adversely commented upon, and inform the public that that portion of
the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    This action pertains to six subparts in 40 CFR part 52 for six
states. Those six states are Delaware, the District of Columbia,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia. EPA is removing
rules from these states' subparts of 40 CFR part 52 because they
pertain to state regulations that are outdated or legally obsolete in
whole or in part. This action is being taken pursuant to Executive
Order 13563--Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review. One aspect of
this action involves an effort to reduce the number of pages in the CFR
by identifying those rules in 40 CFR part 52 that are duplicative,
outdated or obsolete. This action removes several rules from 40 CFR
part 52 that no longer have any use or legal effect because they have
been superseded by subsequently approved SIP revisions. This action
also amends certain rules by revising incorrect or outdated state
regulatory citations and state agencies' office addresses.
    One aspect of EPA's action, affecting all six states, removes
historical information found in the ``Original Identification of plan''
sections in 40 CFR part 52. These paragraphs are no longer necessary
because EPA has promulgated administrative rule actions to replace
these paragraphs with summary tables. These summary tables describe the
regulations, source-specific actions, and non-regulatory requirements
which comprise the SIPs for the six states. Another aspect of EPA's
action, affecting Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia, removes rules pertaining to regulations
that cross-reference the California Low Emission Vehicle (LEV) program
in 40 CFR 51.120. These regulations have been replaced with EPA
approvals of SIP revisions implementing a National Low Emission Vehicle
(NLEV) program. Both of these actions are described in greater detail
later in this document.

II. Removal of Obsolete or Unnecessary Rules and Clarifications to
Certain Rules

    The following regulations include rules applicable on a state-
specific basis. EPA has reviewed these rules and found that they should
be removed or clarified for the reasons set forth as follows:

A. Delaware

Section 52.422 Approval status.
    In paragraph 52.422(a), the second sentence describes EPA's
approval of Delaware's ozone SIP under the requirements of the 1977
Clean Air Act (CAA). This sentence is being removed because EPA has
subsequently approved Delaware SIP revisions for the 1-hour and 8-hour
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone under the
requirements of the 1990 CAA. See 40 CFR 52.420(c) and (e).
    Paragraph 52.422(b) refers to a commitment for Delaware to adopt a
Federal clean fuel fleet program or alternative substitute. This
paragraph is being removed because the Federal clean fuel fleet program
is no longer a SIP requirement.
Section 52.432 Significant deterioration of air quality.
    Paragraph 52.432(a) is obsolete because Delaware Regulation 1125
for its Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting
program has been approved into the Delaware SIP at section 52.420(c).
Paragraph 52.432(b) is partially redundant because the reference to 40
CFR 52.21(l)(2) is a duplication of the regulatory requirements of
Delaware Regulation 1125, Section 3.10 which has been approved at
section 52.420(c). The first sentence of paragraph 52.423(c) is
obsolete because Delaware's PSD program is a SIP-approved program under
40 CFR part 51 and not a delegated program of the Federal PSD
regulations found at 40 CFR 52.21. The last sentence of paragraph
52.423(c) is being revised to update the address of the office of the
Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control
(DNREC). Therefore, paragraph 52.432(a) is being removed, while
paragraphs 52.432(b) and (c) are being revised.
Section 52.465 Original identification of plan section.
    Paragraphs 52.465(b) and (c) of this section, originally designated
as 40 CFR 52.420(b) and (c), contains historical information only about
EPA's approval actions for the Delaware SIP which occurred between May
31, 1972 and July 1, 1998. On December 7, 1998 (63 FR 67407), EPA
reorganized the Identification of plan section (section 52.420) for
subpart I by listing and summarizing Delaware's currently approved SIP
requirements in paragraphs 52.420(a) through (e). Paragraphs 52.465(b)
and (c) are being removed because EPA has determined that it is no
longer necessary to codify the information found in these paragraphs.
Paragraph 52.465(a) is being amended to state that this historical
information will continue to be made available in the CFR annual
editions, Title 40 part 52 (years 1999 through 2012). These annual
editions are available on line at the following url address: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.

B. District of Columbia

Section 52.472 Approval status.
    Section 52.472(b) refers to transportation control measures (TCMs)
which EPA had promulgated as part of the District's 1973 SIP revisions
for photochemical oxidants and carbon monoxide. This paragraph is being
removed because it is obsolete. The 1990 CAA revised TCM requirements.
The TCMs that currently are part of the SIP were approved by EPA on
September 20, 2011 (76 FR 58116). See 40 CFR 52.470(e). Section
52.472(f) was added as part of EPA's disapproval of the District's
nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) program on March 24, 1995 (60 FR
15483). This paragraph is being removed because it is obsolete. The
District has a fully approved Nonattainment NSR program (July 31, 1997,
62 FR 40937, as amended on April 16, 2004, 69 FR 77647).
Section 52.473 Conditional approval.
    On April 17, 2003, (68 FR 19106), EPA conditionally approved the
District's ozone nonattainment area SIP for the Metropolitan
Washington, DC area. This section is being removed because on April 15,
2004 (69 FR 19937), 40 CFR 52.473 was stayed indefinitely and is no
longer necessary to be codified in this subpart.
Section 52.479 Source surveillance.
    On December 6, 1973 (38 FR 33701), EPA added paragraph 52.479(b) to
state that the carpool locator measure of the District's TCM SIP was
not approved. This paragraph is obsolete because this TCM is no longer
a control strategy required by the 1990 CAA. The TCMs that currently
are part of the SIP were approved by EPA on September 20, 2011 (76 FR
58116). Because paragraph 52.479(a) is already reserved, and there are
no other paragraphs in Section 52.479, the entire section is being
removed.
Section 52.515 Original identification of plan section.
    Paragraphs 52.515(b) and (c) of this section, originally designated
as 40 CFR 52.470(b) and (c), contains historical information only about
EPA's approval actions for the District of Columbia SIP which occurred
between May 31, 1972 and July 1, 1998. On December 7, 1998 (63 FR
67407), EPA reorganized the Identification of plan section (section
52.470) for subpart J by listing and summarizing the District's
currently approved SIP requirements in

paragraphs 52.470(a) through (e). Paragraphs 52.515 (b) and (c) are
being removed because EPA has determined that it is no longer necessary
to codify the information found in these paragraphs. Paragraph
52.515(a) is being amended to state that this historical information
will continue to be made available in the CFR annual editions, Title 40
part 52 (years 1999 through 2012). These annual editions are available
on line at the following url address: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.

C. Maryland

Section 52.1072 Conditional approval.
    On April 17, 2003, (68 FR 19106), EPA conditionally approved
Maryland's ozone nonattainment area SIP for the Metropolitan Washington
DC area. This section is being removed because on April 15, 2004 (69 FR
19937), 40 CFR 52.1072 was stayed indefinitely and is no longer
necessary to be codified in this subpart.
Section 52.1073 Approval status.
    On August 12, 1980 (45 FR 53460), paragraph 52.1073(b) was added to
describe EPA's approval, with certain exceptions, of Maryland's January
19, 1979 plan for attaining and maintaining the NAAQS under Section 110
and for meeting the requirements of part D, Title 1, of the 1977 CAA.
This paragraph also stated, ``continued satisfaction of the
requirements of part D for the ozone portion of the SIP depends on the
adoption and submittal of reasonably available control technology
(RACT) requirements by July 1, 1980 for the sources covered by control
technique guidelines (CTGs) issued between January 1978 and January
1979 and adoption and submittal by each subsequent January of
additional RACT requirements for sources covered by CTGs issued by the
previous January.'' This paragraph is obsolete. It is being removed
because all RACT and CTG requirements under the 1977 CAA have been met
and the current ozone plan is subject to the requirements of the 1990
CAA. See 40 CFR 52.1070(c).
    Paragraph 52.1073(c) describes EPA's approval of Code of Maryland
Air Regulations (COMAR) <IP_ADDRESS>. This paragraph is obsolete and is
being removed. EPA had added this paragraph as part of a final
rulemaking action published on May 24, 1991 (56 FR 23804) at 40 CFR
52.1070(c)(88). Maryland repealed Regulation <IP_ADDRESS>, effective
October 26, 1992. On November 13, 1992, Maryland submitted a SIP
revision to EPA requesting the removal of Regulation <IP_ADDRESS>. EPA
approved that SIP revision on June 10, 1994 (59 FR 29957).
    Paragraph 52.1073(d) refers to a commitment for Maryland to adopt a
Federal clean fuel fleet program or alternative substitute. This
paragraph is being removed. This paragraph is obsolete because the
Federal clean fuel fleet program is no longer a SIP requirement.
Section 52.1074 Legal authority.
    This section was added to state that Maryland lacked the necessary
legal authority to prohibit the disclosure of emission data to the
public. EPA has deemed this section to be obsolete and it is being
removed. This section should have been removed when EPA approved a
revision to COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> on May 28, 2002 (67 FR 36810).
Section 52.1077 Source surveillance.
    This section was added to state that the Maryland SIP did not
provide specific procedures for stationary sources to be periodically
tested. This section is obsolete and is being removed. This section
should have been removed as a result of EPA's approval of a revision to
COMAR <IP_ADDRESS> on May 28, 2002 (67 FR 36810).
Section 52.1078 Extensions.
    In this section, EPA extended the deadline by which Maryland must
incorporate mandatory testing of second generation On-board Diagnostics
(OBD-II) equipped motor vehicles as part of its inspection and
maintenance (I/M) program until July 1, 2002. This section is obsolete
and is being removed because Maryland is now implementing the OBD II
program as part of its SIP-approved I/M program.
Section 52.1100 Original identification of plan section.
    Paragraphs 52.1100(b) and (c) of this section, originally
designated as 40 CFR 52.1070(b) and (c), contains historical
information only about EPA's approval actions for the Maryland SIP
which occurred between May 31, 1972 and November 31, 2004. On November
29, 2004 (69 FR 69304), EPA reorganized the Identification of plan
section (section 52.1070) for subpart V by listing and summarizing
Maryland's currently approved SIP requirements in paragraphs 52.1070(a)
through (e). Paragraphs 52.1100(b) and (c) are being removed because
EPA has determined that it is no longer necessary to codify the
information found in these paragraphs. Paragraph 52.1100(a) is being
amended to state that this historical information will continue to be
made available in the CFR annual editions, Title 40 part 52 (years 2005
through 2012). These annual editions are available on line at the
following url address: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.
Section 52.1118 Approval of bubbles in nonattainment areas lacking
approved demonstrations: State assurances.
    This section was added in order to secure approval of a bubble (or
plantwide) control strategy for the American Cyanamid facility in Havre
de Grace, Maryland. This section is obsolete and is being removed
because the bubble for the American Cyanamid Facility was removed from
the Maryland SIP, effective November 24, 2006 (October 24, 2006, 71 FR
62210).

D. Pennsylvania

Section 52.2022 Extensions.
    Between May 31, 1972 and February 26, 1985, EPA granted
Pennsylvania a series of extensions to attain and maintain the NAAQS
for SO2, particulate matter (PM), photochemical oxidants,
carbon monoxide, and ozone. This entire section is obsolete and is
being removed. The latest of these extended dates was December 31,
1987. All of these attainment dates have been superseded by the 1990
CAA and by revised attainment dates for ozone, PM, and SO2
in response to the issuance of revised NAAQS.
Section 52.2023 Approval status.
    Paragraph 52.2023(b) describes EPA's approval of Pennsylvania's
plan for the attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS and states that
the plan satisfies all requirements of part D, Title 1, of the 1977
CAA, with certain exceptions. Pennsylvania subsequently remedied all of
the deficiencies which had been codified in paragraphs 52.2033(c)
through (k). See 40 CFR 52.2020(c)(1) and (e)(1). Therefore, EPA is
revising paragraph 52.2033(b) to remove the words ``except as noted
below.''
    Paragraph 52.2023(d) describes EPA's limited approval and limited
disapproval action on Pennsylvania's Stage II vapor recovery
regulation. This paragraph is obsolete and is being removed because EPA
fully approved Pennsylvania's Stage II regulations in subsequent final
actions published on December 13, 1995 (60 FR 63937, 63940).
    Paragraph 52.2023(e) describes EPA's April 30, 1998 disapproval (63
FR 23668) of Pennsylvania's April 19, 1995 RACT determination for
nitrogen oxides

(NOX) at the Pennsylvania Power Company's New Castle plant
located in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania (Source No. 37-023). This
paragraph is obsolete and is being removed. On June 26, 2002 (67 FR
43002), EPA approved Pennsylvania's amended NOX RACT
determination for this source. See 40 CFR 52.2020(d)(1).
    Paragraph 52.2023(j) describes a disapproval action taken by EPA
with regard to Pennsylvania's enhanced I/M program. This paragraph is
obsolete and is being removed. EPA approved Pennsylvania's enhanced I/M
program on June 17, 1999 (64 FR 32411). EPA subsequently approved
revisions to Pennsylvania's enhanced I/M program on October 6, 2005 (70
FR 58313). Pennsylvania is implementing a fully approved enhanced I/M
program.
Section 52.2024 General requirements.
    Section 52.2024(a) describes EPA's determination that Pennsylvania
had inadequate legal authority to provide for the public availability
of emissions data as required by section 110(a)(2)(F) of the CAA and 40
CFR 51.116. In section 52.2024, EPA promulgated a series of measures
designed to ensure public access to emissions data. This entire section
is obsolete and is being removed. It should have been removed on
January 12, 1995 (60 FR 2881) when EPA approved Pennsylvania Regulation
135.21 pertaining to emissions statements.
Section 52.2025 Legal authority.
    This section describes a SIP deficiency in Philadelphia's Home Rule
Charter provision regarding the public right to inspection. On November
28, 1975 (40 FR 55326, 55333), EPA determined that this provision
could, in some circumstances, prohibit the disclosure of emission data
to the public. However, this section is now obsolete and is being
removed. EPA approved Pennsylvania Regulation 135.21 and determined it
would apply to the City of Philadelphia as well. See 40 CFR
52.2020(c)(1) and (e)(1).
Sections 52.2030 Source surveillance and 52.2032 Intergovernmental
cooperation.
    Sections 52.2030 and 52.2032 describe inadequacies which EPA
identified regarding the implementation of Pennsylvania's TCMs required
under the 1977 CAA. These sections are obsolete and are being removed.
EPA has since determined that Pennsylvania has met all of its TCM
requirements prescribed by the 1977 and 1990 CAA.
Section 52.2033 Control strategy: Sulfur oxides.
    Paragraph 52.2033(a) describes EPA's approval action of the
SO2 control strategy for Allegheny County under the
requirements of the 1970 CAA. This paragraph is obsolete and is being
removed. It has been superseded by EPA's approval of the SO2
attainment plan for Allegheny County under the requirements of the 1990
CAA at paragraph 52.2033(c).
Section 52.2034 Attainment dates for national standards.
    This section states that Pennsylvania had not submitted a plan for
Northumberland County, Snyder County, and Allegheny County, as of
December 31, 1979, providing for the attainment and maintenance of the
secondary NAAQS for SO2. This section is obsolete and is
being removed. On November 12, 1985 (50 FR 46649), EPA determined that
the SO2 nonattainment designations for both the primary and
secondary NAAQS in both Northumberland and Snyder Counties were based
on a modeling error, and that all other criteria for redesignating
nonattainment areas to attainment had been met. Therefore, EPA
redesignated both counties to attainment. On July 21, 2004 (69 FR
43522), EPA approved the modeled attainment demonstration and
maintenance plan to attain and maintain the primary and secondary
SO2 NAAQS in the Hazelwood and Monongahela River Valley
areas of Allegheny County.
Section 52.2037 Control strategy plans for attainment and rate-of-
progress: Ozone.
    Paragraph 52.2037(a) describes EPA's conditional approval of
Pennsylvania's 1979 carbon monoxide and ozone plans. The conditional
approval was based upon Pennsylvania's commitment to implement a
commuter rail project or a substitute TCM which would produce
equivalent emission reductions. This paragraph is obsolete and is being
removed. EPA has since determined that Pennsylvania has met all of its
TCM requirements prescribed by the 1990 CAA.
Section 52.2055 Review of new sources and modifications.
    Section 52.2055 is obsolete and is being removed. It was created to
highlight disapproved portions of the PSD and nonattainment NSR
programs. Pennsylvania has a fully approved PSD program and
nonattainment NSR program in accordance with current CAA and 40 CFR
part 51 requirements.
Section 52.2058 Prevention of significant air quality deterioration.
    Paragraph 52.2058(a) is being retained as the SIP status described
in this paragraph is still current. However, the address for the office
of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection found in
this paragraph is obsolete and is being updated.
Section 52.2059 Control strategy: Particulate matter.
    Paragraph 52.2059(a) was added to the CFR on May 20, 1980 (45 FR
33628). It describes a commitment by Pennsylvania to undertake a
comprehensive program to investigate non-traditional sources,
industrial process fugitive PM emissions, alternative control measures,
and to develop and implement an effective control program to attain the
primary and secondary NAAQS for total suspended particulates (TSP).
This paragraph is obsolete and is being removed. On July 1, 1987 (52 FR
24634), EPA revoked the NAAQS for TSP and promulgated a new NAAQS for
PM with a diameter of ten microns or less (PM10) in its
place. Effective October 14, 2003 (68 FR 53515, September 11, 2003),
the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania was designated either
attainment or unclassified for the PM10 NAAQS. See 40 CFR
81.339.
Section 52.2063 Original identification of plan section.
    Paragraphs 52.2063(b) and (c) of this section, originally
designated as 40 CFR 52.2020(b) and (c), contains historical
information only about EPA's approval actions for the Pennsylvania SIP,
including Allegheny County and the City of Philadelphia, which occurred
between May 31, 1972 and February 10, 2005. On February 25, 2005 (70 FR
9450), EPA reorganized the Identification of plan section (section
52.2020) for subpart NN by listing and summarizing Pennsylvania's
(including Allegheny and Philadelphia Counties) currently approved SIP
requirements in paragraphs 52.2020(a) through (e). Paragraphs
52.2063(b) and (c) are being removed because EPA has determined that it
is no longer necessary to codify the information found in these
paragraphs. Paragraph 52.2063(a) is being amended to state that this
historical information will continue to be made available in the CFR
annual editions, Title 40 part 52 (years 2005 through 2012). These
annual editions are available on line at the following url address:
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/

browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.

E. Virginia

Section 52.2423 Approval status.
    The second, third, and fourth sentences of paragraph 52.2423(a)
state that Virginia's open burning regulations have been submitted for
information purposes only and are not to be considered as a control
strategy. These sentences are obsolete and are being removed. Open
burning has been a control strategy in the Virginia SIP since March 12,
1997 (62 FR 11332). See 40 CFR 52.2420(c).
    Paragraph 52.2423(d) states that a January 11, 1979 SIP submittal
pertaining to Smyth County is not approved, pending a possible
redesignation of the area to attainment status. The 1-hour ozone
nonattainment area in Smyth County consisted of the portion of White
Top Mountain above the 4,500 foot elevation. This paragraph is obsolete
and is being removed. On April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23858, 23942), all of
Smyth County was designated attainment of the 8-hour ozone NAAQS. On
August 3, 2005 (70 FR 44470, 44478), the 1-hour ozone NAAQS was revoked
for the White Top Mountain area, effective June 15, 2005. On April 29,
2008 (73 FR 23103), EPA approved the 8-hour ozone maintenance plan for
Smyth County. See 40 CFR 52.2420(e).
    Paragraph 52.5423(e) describes the disapproval of section 4.55(b)
of the Virginia regulations because the regulation was not adequately
enforceable. This paragraph is obsolete, and is being removed. Section
4.55(b) was never approved as part of the Virginia SIP, and no longer
exists as a State regulation.
    Paragraph 52.2423(f) describes a situation where a Virginia opacity
regulation cited as section 9 VAC 5-40-20.A.3 is not considered part of
the applicable plan because it contradicts a previously approved
section of the SIP. EPA's assessment is still current. However, in this
action EPA is revising this paragraph to add a reference to the current
State citation of this opacity regulation (9VAC5-40-20.A.4).
    Paragraph 52.2423(g) describes the exclusion of section 4.31(d)(3),
a Virginia regulation pertaining to collection efficiency from the
Virginia SIP. This paragraph is obsolete and is being removed because
section 4.31(d)(3) of Virginia's regulation was never approved as a SIP
requirement and no longer exists as a State regulation.
    Paragraph 52.2423(j) refers to a commitment for Virginia to adopt a
Federal clean fuel fleet program or alternative substitute. This
paragraph is obsolete and is being removed because the Federal clean
fuel fleet program is no longer a SIP requirement.
    Paragraph 52.2423(k) describes EPA's disapproval of Virginia's
November 12, 1992 redesignation request and maintenance plan for the
Richmond moderate 1-hour ozone nonattainment area. EPA had disapproved
this request and maintenance plan because of monitored ozone violations
during the 1993 ozone season. This paragraph is now obsolete and is
being removed. EPA subsequently approved the redesignation and 1-hour
ozone maintenance plan for the Richmond area on November 17, 1997 (62
FR 61237). See 40 CFR 52.2420(e).
    Paragraphs 52.2423(m) and (n) describe EPA's approval actions of
Virginia regulations citing documents which Virginia has incorporated
by reference. Virginia had submitted these actions in April 12, 1989
and February 12, 1993, respectively. Since that time, Virginia has
recodified its regulations. While EPA's approval actions are still
current, EPA is amending paragraphs (m) and (n) to add references to
the current citations of these approved State regulations.
Sections 52.2427 Source surveillance and 52.2433 Intergovernmental
cooperation.
    Sections 52.2427 and 52.2433 describe inadequacies which EPA
identified regarding the implementation of Virginia's TCMs required
under the 1970 Clean Air Act. These sections are obsolete and are being
removed. EPA has since determined that Virginia has met all of its TCM
requirements prescribed by the 1990 CAA. The TCMs that currently are
part of the SIP were approved by EPA on September 20, 2011 (76 FR
58116). Virginia also has a fully approved enhanced I/M program for the
Northern Virginia Area--9VAC5, Chapter 91, as codified in 40 CFR
52.2420(c), last amended on April 22, 2008 (73 FR 21540).
Section 52.2436 Rules and regulations.
    This section describes the disapproval of section 4.55(b) of a
Virginia regulation because the regulation was not adequately
enforceable. See 40 CFR 52.2423(e). This section is obsolete and is
being removed because section 4.55(b) no longer exists in Virginia's
regulations.
Section 52.2450 Conditional approval.
    On August 30, 1995 (60 FR 45055), EPA conditionally approved a VOC
RACT determination submitted by Virginia for the Philip Morris
Manufacturing Center (No. 50076) located in Richmond, Virginia. This
conditional approval is described in paragraph 52.2450(a). On October
14, 1997 (62 FR 53242), EPA fully approved Virginia's revised VOC RACT
determination for this same facility at 52.2420(c)(120) which is now
codified at 40 CFR 52.2420(d). Therefore, paragraph 52.2450(a) is
obsolete and is being removed.
    On April 17, 2003, (68 FR 19106), EPA conditionally approved and
codified into paragraph 52.2450(b) Virginia's ozone nonattainment area
SIP for the Metropolitan Washington DC area, which included the 1996-
1999 portion of the rate-of-progress plan. However, on April 15, 2004
(69 FR 19937), 40 CFR 52.2450(b) was stayed indefinitely and is no
longer necessary to be codified in this subpart. Therefore, paragraph
52.2450(b) is obsolete and is being removed. Because paragraphs
52.2450(c) through (f) are currently reserved, section 52.2450 is being
removed in its entirety.
Section 52.2465 Original identification of plan section.
    Paragraphs 52.2465(b) and (c) of this section, originally
designated as 40 CFR 52.2420(b) and (c), contains historical
information only about EPA's approval actions for the Virginia SIP
which occurred between May 31, 1972 and March 1, 2000. On April 21,
2000 (65 FR 21315), EPA reorganized the Identification of plan section
(section 52.2420) for subpart VV by listing and summarizing Virginia's
currently approved SIP requirements in paragraphs 52.2420(a) through
(e). Paragraphs 52.2465(b) and (c) are being removed because EPA has
determined that it is no longer necessary to codify the information
found in these paragraphs. Paragraph 52.2465(a) is being amended to
state that this historical information will continue to be made
available in the CFR annual editions, Title 40 part 52 (years 2000
through 2012). These annual editions are available on line at the
following url address: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.

F. West Virginia

Section 52.2522 Approval status.
    In paragraph 52.2522(a), EPA states that deletion of the provisions
found in section 3.03(b) of Regulation X, adopted in 1972 and amended
in 1978, has been approved, except for an SO2 emission
limitation for the Rivesville Power Station. This paragraph is obsolete
and

is being removed because section 3.3.b. of the current Regulation X
(45CSR10) containing that SO2 emission limitation for the
Rivesville Power Station was approved by EPA on June 3, 2003 (68 FR
33002). See 40 CFR 52.2520(c).
    In paragraph 52.2522(b), EPA states that the interim limitation of
5.12 lbs. of SO2 per million BTU for the Harrison power
plant is approved until a permanent emission limitation is approved.
This paragraph is obsolete and is being removed because Section 3.3.a.
of the current Regulation X (45CSR10) includes a permanent
SO2 emission limitation for the Harrison Power Plant which
was approved as a SIP revision on June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33002). See 40
CFR 52.2520(c).
    In paragraph 52.2522(c), EPA states that West Virginia's control
strategy for attainment and maintenance of the secondary NAAQS for
SO2 is not approved as it applies to the Mitchell Power
Station located in Marshall County, and the Harrison Power Station
located in Harrison County. This paragraph is obsolete and is being
removed. Since 1978, when the part 81 attainment designations were
first established under section 107 of the CAA, both Marshall and
Harrison Counties have been designated attainment for the secondary
NAAQS for SO2. EPA has also reviewed the ambient data of the
secondary NAAQS for SO2 recorded since January 1996 for
these counties, and has found no violations in either county.
    Paragraph 52.2522(h) describes a series of deficiencies to West
Virginia minor new source permitting regulation (45CSR13) as submitted
by West Virginia on August 26, 1994. This paragraph is obsolete and is
being removed. On February 8, 2007 (72 FR 5932), EPA fully approved the
provisions of West Virginia Regulation 45CSR13. See 40 CFR 52.2520(c).
As a result, all of the deficiencies mentioned in paragraph 52.2522(h)
have been corrected.
Section 52.2523 Attainment dates for national standards.
    Section 52.2523 states that The New Manchester and Grant
Magisterial Districts in Hancock County are expected to attain and
maintain the secondary NAAQS for SO2 as soon as the Sammis
Power Plant, located in Jefferson County, Ohio, meets the
SO2 emission limitations in the Ohio Implementation Plan.
This section is obsolete and is being removed. EPA has subsequently
determined that the Sammis Plant is currently meeting the Ohio SIP's
emissions limits. In addition, on June 8, 2005 (70 FR 33364), EPA
redesignated the New Manchester-Grant Magisterial District in part 81
as ``Better than National Standards'' for the NAAQS for SO2
and approved the maintenance plan, effective August 8, 2005. See 40 CFR
81.349.
Section 52.2524 Compliance schedules.
    Sections 52.2524(a) and (b) were promulgated on June 20, 1973 (38
FR 16144, 16170) and August 23, 1973 (38 FR 22736), respectively. At
this time there were issues as to whether plants could comply with SIP
approved emission standards for SO2 because of a lack of
available low-sulfur coal and the availability of air pollution control
equipment. These regulations set forth compliance schedules by which
boilers or furnaces of more than 250 million Btu per hour heat input
subject to the emission limitation requirements in West Virginia
Regulation X must come into compliance with the applicable emission
limitations for SO2. This section is obsolete. The dates
listed in this compliance schedule have long since passed, and the SIP
regulatory citation for West Virginia's SO2 control
regulation has changed from Regulation X to Regulation 45CSR10. In
addition, the emission limitations of Sections 3.01 and 3.03 (currently
Section 45-10-3) have been revised. See November 9, 1978, 43 FR 52239
and June 3, 2003, 68 FR 33002. EPA, West Virginia, and several power
companies have also entered into Federal consent decrees that specify
control strategies, including flue gas desulfurization (FGD) and source
shutdowns, which would assist compliance with the requirements of
Regulation 45CSR10. An October 3, 2003 Federal Consent Decree between
EPA and the Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) establishes
compliance schedules for Units 1, 2, and 3 of the Mount Storm Power
Station, and a December 7, 2007 Federal consent decree between EPA and
the American Electric Power Service Corporation (AEP) establish
compliance schedules for installing FGD at the Amos, Kanawha River,
Kammer, Mitchell, Mountaineer, and Sporn Power Stations. Given that the
compliance dates and regulation citations in section 52.2524 have been
updated either in the SIP or by the 2003 and 2007 Federal consent
decrees, section 52.2524 is being removed.
Section 52.2525 Control strategy: Sulfur dioxide.
    Paragraph 52.2525(a) is obsolete and is being removed. As explained
previously in this action, the SO2 emission limit for the
Rivesville Power Station, established in 1972, has since been approved
by EPA on June 3, 2003 (68 FR 33002). See 40 CFR 52.2520(c). Since
1978, when the part 81 attainment designations were first established
under section 107 of the CAA, the area in which this power plant is
located (Marion County) has been designated attainment for the primary
and secondary NAAQS for SO2. EPA has also reviewed the
ambient data of the secondary SO2 NAAQS and has found that
no violations have been recorded since January 1996.
Section 52.2528 Significant deterioration of air quality.
    Paragraph 52.2528(b) describes portions of the Federal PSD
regulation (40CFR 52.21) which are incorporated and made a part of the
West Virginia SIP. This paragraph is redundant and is being removed
because these measures duplicate the regulatory requirements of West
Virginia Regulation 45CSR14, which is incorporated by reference at
Section 52.2520(c).
Section 52.2565 Original identification of plan.
    Paragraphs 52.2565(b) and (c) of this section, originally
designated as 40 CFR 52.2520(b) and (c), contains historical
information only about EPA's approval actions for the West Virginia SIP
which occurred between May 31, 1972 and December 1, 2004. On February
10, 2005 (70 FR 7024), EPA reorganized the Identification of plan
section (section 52.2520) for subpart XX by listing and summarizing
West Virginia's currently approved SIP requirements in paragraphs
52.2520(a) through (e). Paragraphs 52.2565(b) and (c) are being removed
because EPA has determined that it is no longer necessary to codify the
information found in these paragraphs. Paragraph 52.2565(a) is being
amended to state that this historical information will continue to be
made available in the CFR annual editions, Title 40 part 52 (years 2005
through 2012). These annual editions are available on line at the
following url address: http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/browse/collectionCfr.action?collectionCode=CFR.

G. Multistate Removal Actions Affected by the National Low Emission
Vehicle Program

    On January 24, 1995 (60 FR 4712), EPA promulgated 40 CFR 51.120,
which established a ``SIP call'' mandating a LEV program, based on
California's motor vehicle emissions, which would provide air pollutant
emissions reductions for states located on the Ozone Transport Region
(OTR). See,

CAA sections 177 and 184. The following OTR states are located in EPA
region III: Delaware, the District of Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
and the portion of Virginia that was included in the Consolidated
Metropolitan Statistical Area (CMSA) for Washington, DC as of November
15, 1990. For each of these States' part 52 subparts, EPA added CFR
regulations which cross-reference 40 CFR 52.120. The respective
sections are: 52.433, 52.498, 52.1079, 52.2057, and 52.2453. However,
on March 11, 1997, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
vacated the provisions of 40 CFR 51.20. See, Virginia v. EPA, 108 F.3d
1397 (D.C. Cir. Ct. of Appeals, 1997; rehearing denied June 13, 1997.
    Subsequently, the EPA Region III States located in the OTR adopted
a similar program known as the NLEV program, a collaborative effort of
EPA, the OTC States, the automobile manufacturers, and others that
would achieve emissions reductions equal to or greater than would be
accomplished if the OTC States adopted the California LEV program under
the authority of CAA section 177. Under the NLEV program, the States
achieved the reductions the SIP call would have required. Therefore,
EPA approved their respective NLEV SIP revisions on the following
dates: December 28, 1999 (64 FR 72564) for Delaware, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, and Virginia; and July 20, 2000 (65 FR 44981 for the
District of Columbia. See 40 CFR 52.420(c), 52.1070(c), 52.2020(c)(1),
52.2420(c), and 52.470(c) respectively.
    As a result of the Court's vacatur action and of EPA's subsequent
approvals of the OTR States' NLEV programs, EPA has deemed sections
52.433, 52.498, 52.1079, 52.2057, and 52.2453 to be legally obsolete.
In today's action, these five sections are being removed from the CFR.
    It should be noted that since February 10, 2000 (65 FR 6698), the
NLEV program has been superseded by EPA's issuance of a final rule
promulgating Federal Tier 2 vehicle emission and fuel standards. This
Federal Tier 2 program provides for stricter new vehicle emissions
standards than that of the NLEV program, beginning with the phase-in of
that program in model year 2004. Additionally, the Federal Tier 2
program was fully in place and was mandatory for all new subject
vehicles on a national basis in model year 2006. At that time, the NLEV
program ceased to exist for all states, and states' participation in
the National NLEV ceased with the 2006 model year.

III. Final Action

    EPA has determined that the above-referenced rules should be
removed or revised at this time. EPA is publishing this rule without
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial
amendment and anticipates no adverse comment. However, in the
``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal Register, EPA is
publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to
approve the SIP revision if adverse comments are filed. This rule will
be effective on August 5, 2013 without further notice unless EPA
receives adverse comment by July 8, 2013. If EPA receives adverse
comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register
informing the public that the rule will not take effect. EPA will
address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on the
proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on this
action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment,
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. General Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and is therefore not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is
not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations
That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001) because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866. Because the agency has made a ``good
cause'' finding that this action is not subject to notice-and-comment
requirements under the Administrative Procedure Act or any other
statute as indicated in the Supplementary Information section above, it
is not subject to the regulatory flexibility provisions of the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), or to sections 202
and 205 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) (Pub. L.
104-4, 109 Stat. 48 (1995)). In addition, this action does not
significantly or uniquely affect small governments or impose a
significant intergovernmental mandate, as described in sections 203 and
204 of UMRA. This rule also 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, as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), nor
will it 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, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62
FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.
This technical correction action does not involve technical standards;
thus the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.
The rule also does not involve special consideration of environmental
justice related issues as required by Executive Order 12898 (59 FR
7629, February 16, 1994). In issuing this rule, EPA has taken the
necessary steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize
potential litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected
conduct, as required by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,
February 7, 1996). EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR
8859, March 15, 1998) by examining the takings implications of the rule
in accordance with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for
the Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued
under the Executive Order. This rule does not impose an information
collection burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C.
3501 et seq.)

B. Submission to Congress and the Comptroller General

    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).

C. Petitions for 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 5, 2013. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that
    EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in
the proposed rulemaking action. This action which removes or revises
outdated or obsolete part 52 language for Delaware, the District of
Columbia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and West Virginia may not
be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See
section 307(b)(2))
