SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' or
``our'' refer to EPA.

I. Background

    Section 110 of the Act requires states to develop air pollution
regulations and control strategies to ensure that air quality meets the
EPA's National Ambient Air Quality Standards. These ambient standards
are established under section 109 of the Act and they currently address
six criteria pollutants: Carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone,
lead, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide. The state's air
regulations are contained in its SIP, which is basically a clean air
plan. Each state is responsible for developing SIPs to demonstrate how
the NAAQS will be achieved, maintained, and enforced. The SIP must be
submitted to EPA for approval and any changes a state makes to the
approved SIP also must be submitted to the EPA for approval.
    The Oklahoma Secretary of Energy and Environment submitted
revisions for approval by EPA on February 14, 2017. The submittal
addresses air pollution regulations and control strategies adopted and
codified in the Oklahoma Administrative Code (OAC) under Title 252
(DEQ), Chapter 100 (Air Pollution Control), Subchapter 2 and Appendix
Q--Incorporation by Reference; Subchapter 5--Registration, Emission
Inventory and Annual Operating Fees; Subchapter 13--Open Burning;
Subchapter 17--Incinerators; Subchapter 25--Visible Emissions and
Particulates; Subchapter 31--Control of Emission of Sulfur Compounds;
Appendix E--Primary Ambient Air Quality Standards; and Appendix F--
Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards. The EPA has proposed separate
action to address the February 14, 2017, submission of revisions to OAC
252:100, Subchapters 13, 17, 25, 31, and Appendices E and F. See the
rulemaking docket EPA-R06-OAR-2017-0145. In this action we are only
addressing the February 14, 2017, submitted revisions to OAC 252:100,
Subchapters 2, 5, and Appendix Q.

II. The EPA's Evaluation

    The accompanying Technical Support Document for this action
includes a detailed analysis of the submitted revisions to the Oklahoma
SIP. With the exception of Subchapter 5 discussed below, the revisions
are minor or non-substantive in nature and do not change the intent of
the originally approved SIP requirements. Our analysis indicates that
the SIP revision package submitted on February 14, 2017, has been
developed in accordance with the CAA and the State provided reasonable
notice and public hearing. The revisions to OAC 252:100, Subchapter 2
and Appendix Q update the incorporation by reference dates so that the
Oklahoma SIP maintains consistency with federal requirements. The
revisions to OAC 252:100, Subchapter 5 substantively revise the
emission inventory reporting requirements. The ODEQ is revising the
reporting schedule for sources with permits by rule to align with the
Three-Year Cycle Inventory of the National Emission Inventory specified
in 40 CFR 51.30(b). ODEQ is clarifying that permit exempt and de
minimis facilities as defined in OAC 252:100, Subchapter 7 are not
subject to emission inventory reporting requirements unless annual
emissions from the facility exceed the federal emission thresholds
listed in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix A. The ODEQ is also providing the
ability for the Director to require emission inventory reporting from
any facility with the potential to emit any regulated air pollutant if
the data is needed for program planning or compliance with State or
Federal rules, regulations, standards or requirements. The EPA has
determined it is appropriate to approve revisions to the Oklahoma SIP
because these revisions maintain consistency with federal requirements
and will not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning
attainment and reasonable further progress or any other applicable CAA
requirements.

III. Proposed Action

    We are proposing to approve revisions to the Oklahoma SIP that
revise the incorporation by reference dates for federal requirements
and update the emission inventory reporting requirements. We have
determined that the revisions submitted on February 14, 2017, were
developed in accordance with the CAA and EPA's regulations. Therefore,
under section 110 of the Act, the EPA proposes approval of the
following revisions to the Oklahoma SIP:
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-2-3 and Appendix Q adopted on
April 25, 2013; effective July 1, 2013;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-2-3 and Appendix Q adopted on
June 19, 2014; effective September 12, 2014;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-2-3 and Appendix Q adopted on
June 8, 2015; effective September 15, 2015;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-2-3 and Appendix Q adopted on
June 9, 2016; effective September 15, 2016;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-5-2 adopted on June 19, 2014;
effective September 12, 2014;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-5-2.1 adopted on June 19, 2014;
effective September 12, 2014;
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-5-2.1 adopted June 9, 2016;
effective September 15, 2016; and
     Revisions to OAC 252:100-5-3 adopted on June 19, 2014;
effective September 12, 2014.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this action, we are proposing to include in a final rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, we are proposing to incorporate by
reference revisions to the Oklahoma regulations as described in the
Proposed Action section above. We have made, and will continue to make,
these documents generally available electronically through
www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at the EPA Region 6 office (please
contact Adina Wiley for more information).

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. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely proposes to approve state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866;
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);

     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the proposed rule does not have tribal implications and will
not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November
9, 2000).

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission

[Docket No. PF17-1-000]

DTE Midstream Appalachia, LLC; Notice of Intent To Prepare an
Environmental Assessment for the Planned Birdsboro Pipeline Project,
and Request for Comments on Environmental Issues, and Notice of Public
Scoping Session

    The staff of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or
Commission) will prepare an environmental assessment (EA) that will
discuss the environmental impacts of the Birdsboro Pipeline Project
involving construction and operation of facilities by DTE Midstream
Appalachia, LLC (DTE) in Berks County, Pennsylvania. The Commission
will use this EA in its decision-making process to determine whether
the project is in the public convenience and necessity.
    This notice announces the opening of the scoping process the
Commission will use to gather input from the public and interested
agencies on the project. You can make a difference by providing us with
your specific comments or concerns about the project. Your comments
should focus on the potential environmental effects, reasonable
alternatives, and measures to avoid or lessen environmental impacts.
Your input will help the Commission staff determine what issues they
need to evaluate in the EA. To ensure that your comments are timely and
properly recorded, please send your comments so that the Commission
receives them in Washington, DC on or before February 17, 2017.
    If you sent comments on this project to the Commission before the
opening of this docket on October 14, 2016, you will need to file those
comments in Docket No. PF17-1-000 to ensure they are considered as part
of this proceeding.
    This notice is being sent to the Commission's current environmental
mailing list for this project. State and local government
representatives should notify their constituents of this planned
project and encourage them to comment on their areas of concern.
    If you are a landowner receiving this notice, a pipeline company
representative may contact you about the acquisition of an easement to
construct, operate, and maintain the planned facilities. The company
would seek to negotiate a mutually acceptable agreement. However, if
the Commission approves the project, that approval

conveys with it the right of eminent domain. Therefore, if easement
negotiations fail to produce an agreement, the pipeline company could
initiate condemnation proceedings where compensation would be
determined in accordance with state law.
    A fact sheet prepared by the FERC entitled ``An Interstate Natural
Gas Facility On My Land? What Do I Need To Know?'' is available for
viewing on the FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov). This fact sheet addresses
a number of typically asked questions, including the use of eminent
domain and how to participate in the Commission's proceedings.

Public Participation

    For your convenience, there are four methods you can use to submit
your comments to the Commission. The Commission will provide equal
consideration to all comments received, whether filed in written form
or provided verbally. The Commission encourages electronic filing of

<PHONE_NUMBER>.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The primary goal of these scoping sessions is to have you identify
the specific environmental issues and concerns that should be
considered in the EA to be prepared for this project. Individual verbal
comments will be taken on a one-on-one basis with a court reporter.
This format is designed to receive the maximum amount of verbal
comments, in a convenient way during the timeframe allotted.
    The scoping session is scheduled from 5:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Eastern Standard Time. You may arrive at any time after 5:30 p.m. There
will not be a formal presentation by Commission staff when the session
opens. If you wish to speak, the Commission staff will hand out numbers
in the order of your arrival; distribution of numbers will be
discontinued at 8:00 p.m. Please see appendix 1 for additional
information on the session format and conduct.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The appendices referenced in this notice will not appear in
the Federal Register. Copies of the appendices were sent to all
those receiving this notice in the mail and are available at
www.ferc.gov using the link called ``eLibrary'' or from the
Commission's Public Reference Room, 888 First Street NE.,
Washington, DC 20426, or call<PHONE_NUMBER>. For instructions on
connecting to eLibrary, refer to the last page of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Your scoping comments will be recorded by the court reporter (with
FERC staff or representative present) and become part of the public
record for this proceeding. Transcripts will be publicly available on
FERC's eLibrary system (see below for instructions on using eLibrary).
If a significant number of people are interested in providing verbal
comments in the one-on-one settings, a time limit of 5 minutes may be
implemented for each commentor.
    It is important to note that verbal comments hold the same weight
as written or electronically submitted comments. Although there will
not be a formal presentation, Commission staff will be available
throughout the comment session to answer your questions about the
environmental review process. Representatives from DTE will also be
present to answer project-specific questions.

Summary of the Planned Project

    DTE plans to construct and operate about 14 miles of up to 16-inch-
diameter pipeline and appurtenant facilities. The purpose of the
planned Birdsboro Pipeline Project is to provide about 79,000
dekatherms of natural gas per day to the Birdsboro Power Plant in Berks
County, Pennsylvania. The Birdsboro Power Plant is not under the
jurisdiction of FERC and will not be part of the proposed action
evaluated in the EA. The power plant is/will be obtaining multiple
federal, state, and local permits and approvals for construction and
operation of the facility.
    The Birdsboro Pipeline Project would consist of the following
facilities:
     About 14 miles of up to 16-inch-diameter pipeline;
     a pig launcher and receiver; \2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ A ``pig'' is a tool that the pipeline company inserts into
and pushes through the pipeline for cleaning the pipeline,
conducting internal inspections, or other purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     a new meter station and associated facilities at the Texas
Eastern Transmission Company Pipeline right-of-way; and
     6 new mainline valves.
    The general location of the project facilities is shown in appendix
2.

Land Requirements for Construction

    Construction of the planned facilities would disturb about 147.8
acres of land for the aboveground facilities and the pipeline.
Following construction, DTE would maintain about 82.7 acres for
permanent operation of the project's facilities; the remaining acreage
would be restored and revert to former uses.

The EA Process

    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires the
Commission to take into account the environmental impacts that could
result from an action whenever it considers the issuance of a
Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity. NEPA also requires us
\3\ to discover and address concerns the public may have about
proposals. This process is referred to as scoping. The main goal of the
scoping process is to focus the analysis in the EA on the important
environmental issues. By this notice, the Commission requests public
comments on the scope of the issues to address in the EA. We will
consider all filed comments during the preparation of the EA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ ``We,'' ``us,'' and ``our'' refer to the environmental staff
of the Commission's Office of Energy Projects.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the EA we will discuss impacts that could occur as a result of
the construction and operation of the planned project under these
general headings:
     Geology and soils;
     land use;
     water resources, fisheries, and wetlands;
     cultural resources;

     vegetation and wildlife;
     air quality and noise;
     endangered and threatened species;
     public safety; and
     cumulative impacts.
    We will also evaluate possible alternatives to the planned project
or portions of the project, and make recommendations on how to lessen
or avoid impacts on the various resource areas.
    Although no formal application has been filed, we have already
initiated our NEPA review under the Commission's pre-filing process.
The purpose of the pre-filing process is to encourage early involvement
of interested stakeholders and to identify and resolve issues before
the FERC receives an application. As part of our pre-filing review, we
have begun to contact some federal and state agencies to discuss their
involvement in the scoping process and the preparation of the EA.
    The EA will present our independent analysis of the issues. The EA
will be available in the public record through eLibrary. We will also
publish and distribute the EA to the public for an allotted comment
period. We will consider all comments on the EA before we make our
recommendations to the Commission. To ensure we have the opportunity to
consider and address your comments, please carefully follow the
instructions in the Public Participation section, beginning on page 2.
    With this notice, we are asking agencies with jurisdiction by law
and/or special expertise with respect to the environmental issues
related to this project to formally cooperate with us in the
preparation of the EA.\4\ Agencies that would like to request
cooperating agency status should follow the instructions for filing
comments provided under the Public Participation section of this
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The Council on Environmental Quality regulations addressing
cooperating agency responsibilities are at Title 40, Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 1501.6.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consultations Under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation
Act

    In accordance with the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation's
implementing regulations for section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act, we are using this notice to initiate consultation
with the applicable State Historic Preservation Office(s), and to
solicit their views and those of other government agencies, interested
Indian tribes, and the public on the project's potential effects on
historic properties.\5\ We will define the project-specific Area of
Potential Effects (APE) in consultation with the SHPO(s) as the project
develops. On natural gas facility projects, the APE at a minimum
encompasses all areas subject to ground disturbance (examples include
construction right-of-way, contractor/pipe storage yards, compressor
stations, and access roads). Our EA for this project will document our
findings on the impacts on historic properties and summarize the status
of consultations under section 106.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Advisory Council on Historic Preservation regulations
are at Title 36, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 800. Those
regulations define historic properties as any prehistoric or
historic district, site, building, structure, or object included in
or eligible for inclusion in the National Register of Historic
Places.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Environmental Mailing List

    The environmental mailing list includes federal, state, and local
government representatives and agencies; elected officials;
environmental and public interest groups; Native American Tribes; other
interested parties; and local libraries and newspapers. This list also
includes all affected landowners (as defined in the Commission's
regulations) who are potential right-of-way grantors, whose property
may be used temporarily for project purposes, or who own homes within
certain distances of aboveground facilities, and anyone who submits
comments on the project. We will update the environmental mailing list
as the analysis proceeds to ensure that we send the information related
to this environmental review to all individuals, organizations, and
government entities interested in and/or potentially affected by the
planned project.
    Copies of the EA will be sent to the environmental mailing list for
public review and comment. If you would prefer to receive a paper copy
of the document instead of the CD version or would like to remove your
name from the mailing list, please return the attached Information
Request (appendix 3).

Becoming an Intervenor

    Once DTE files its application with the Commission, you may want to
become an ``intervenor'' which is an official party to the Commission's
proceeding. Intervenors play a more formal role in the process and are
able to file briefs, appear at hearings, and be heard by the courts if
they choose to appeal the Commission's final ruling. An intervenor
formally participates in the proceeding by filing a request to
intervene. Motions to intervene are more fully described at http://www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/intervene.asp. Instructions for
becoming an intervenor are in the ``Document-less Intervention Guide''
under the ``e-filing'' link on the Commission's Web site. Please note
that the Commission will not accept requests for intervenor status at
this time. You must wait until the Commission receives a formal
application for the project.

Additional Information

    Additional information about the project is available from the
Commission's Office of External Affairs, at (866) 208-FERC, or on the
FERC Web site (www.ferc.gov) using the eLibrary link. Click on the
eLibrary link, click on ``General Search'' and enter the docket number,

texts of formal documents issued by the Commission, such as orders,
notices, and rulemakings.
    In addition, the Commission offers a free service called
eSubscription which allows you to keep track of all formal issuances
and submittals in specific dockets. This can reduce the amount of time
you spend researching proceedings by automatically providing you with
notification of these filings, document summaries, and direct links to
the documents. Go to www.ferc.gov/docs-filing/esubscription.asp.
    Finally, public sessions or site visits will be posted on the
Commission's calendar located at www.ferc.gov/EventCalendar/EventsList.aspx along with other related information.

[EPA-R09-OAR-2019-0449; FRL-10008-59-Region 9]

Approval and Limited Approval and Limited Disapproval of
California Air Plan Revisions; San Diego County Air Pollution Control
District; Stationary Source Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing action
on four permitting rules submitted as a revision to the San Diego
County Air Pollution Control District (SDAPCD or ``District'') portion
of the California State Implementation Plan (SIP). We are proposing a
limited approval and limited disapproval of one rule and proposing
approval of the remaining three rules. These revisions concern the
District's New Source Review (NSR) permitting program for new and
modified sources of air pollution under section 110(a)(2)(C) and part D
of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This action updates the SDAPCD's
applicable SIP with revised rules that the District has amended to
address deficiencies identified in a previous conditional approval
action. We are taking comments on this proposal and plan to follow with
a final action.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 15, 2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R09-
OAR-2019-0449 at http://www.regulations.gov. For comments submitted at
Regulations.gov, follow the online instructions for submitting
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from

I. The State's Submittal

A. What rules did the State submit?

    Table 1 lists the rules addressed by this proposal with the dates
when they were adopted by the SDAPCD and submitted by the California
Air Resources Board (CARB), which is the governor's designee for
California SIP submittals. These rules constitute part of the SDAPCD's
current program for preconstruction review and permitting of new or
modified stationary sources under its jurisdiction. The rule revisions
that are the subject of this action represent an update to the SDAPCD's
preconstruction review and permitting program and are intended to
satisfy the requirements under part D of title I of the Act
(``nonattainment NSR'' or ``NNSR'') as well as the general
preconstruction review requirements under section 110(a)(2)(C) of the
Act (``minor NSR'').

* The following paragraphs of the Rules 20.2-20.4 were not submitted to the EPA for inclusion in the San Diego
  SIP: Rule 20.2 paragraphs (d)(2)(i)(B), (d)(2)(v), (d)(2)(vi)(B) and (d)(3); Rule 20.3 paragraphs (d)(1)(vi),
  (d)(2)(i)(B), (d)(2)(v), (d)(2)(vi)(B) and (d)(3); and Rule 20.4 paragraphs (b)(2), (b)(3), (d)(1)(iii),
  (d)(2)(i)(B), (d)(2)(iv), (d)(2)(v)(B), (d)(3) and (d)(5).

    On August 6, 2019, the EPA determined that the submittal of the
revised Rules 20.1, 20.2, 20.3, and 20.4 meets the completeness
criteria in 40 CFR part 51 appendix V, which must be met before formal
EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of these rules?

    The EPA conditionally approved Rules 20.1-20.4 into the SDAPCD
portion of the California SIP in 2018, based on the District's
commitment to adopt and submit revisions to address identified
deficiencies within one year, consistent with the requirements at CAA
section 110(k)(4) for conditional approval. 83 FR 50007 (October 4,
2018). That action also included a conditional approval of Rule 20.6,
and a full approval of Rules 11, 20, and 24. The conditionally approved
versions of Rules 20.1-20.4 are identified below in Table 2.

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

    If the EPA finalizes the action proposed herein, these rules will
be replaced in the SIP by the submitted set of rules listed in Table 1.
Additionally, as described below, the EPA's final approval of Rules
20.1-20.4 will resolve our conditional approval of Rule 20.6.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted rule revisions?

    As noted above and described in further detail below, the submitted
rules are intended to satisfy aspects of the minor NSR and NNSR
requirements of section 110(a)(2)(C) and part D of title I of the Act,
and related EPA regulations. Minor NSR requirements are generally
applicable for SIPs in all areas, while NNSR requirements apply only
for areas designated as nonattainment for one or more National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). San Diego County is classified as a
serious nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone standard and a moderate
nonattainment area for the 2015 8-hour ozone standard. San Diego County
is designated attainment or unclassifiable for all other NAAQS. See 40
CFR 81.305. Therefore, in addition to

being subject to the requirements for minor NSR at section 110(a)(2)(C)
of the Act, California is required to adopt and implement a SIP-
approved NNSR permitting program that applies to new or modified major
stationary sources of ozone and ozone precursors within the San Diego
County nonattainment area, under part D of title I of the Act.
    These rules were submitted to address deficiencies identified in
the EPA's 2018 action to approve and conditionally approve updates to
the SDAPCD's SIP-approved NSR permitting program. See 83 FR 50007
(October 4, 2018). Additionally, the rules have been revised to include
NOX and VOC applicability thresholds and offset ratios
applicable to severe and extreme ozone nonattainment areas, and to
incorporate federal requirements for interprecursor offsetting that
were added in the EPA's Implementation Rule for the 2015 Ozone NAAQS.
See 83 FR 62998 (December 6, 2018).

II. The EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rules?

    The EPA evaluated the submitted rules to determine whether they
address the deficiencies identified in our 2018 conditional approval,
and for compliance with applicable requirements of section 110(a)(2)(C)
and part D of title I of the CAA and associated regulations at 40 CFR
51.160-165, consistent with the District's current classification as a
serious nonattainment area for the 2008 ozone standard and a moderate
nonattainment area for the 2015 8-hour ozone standard. We have also
reviewed the rules for consistency with other CAA general requirements
for SIP submittals, including requirements at section 110(a)(2)
regarding rule enforceability, and requirements at sections 110(l) and
193 for SIP revisions.
    Section 110(a)(2)(C) of the Act requires each SIP to include a
program to regulate the modification and construction of any stationary
source within the areas covered by the SIP as necessary to assure
attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. The EPA's regulations at 40
CFR 51.160-51.164 provide general programmatic requirements to
implement this statutory mandate. These requirements, commonly referred
to as the ``minor NSR'' or ``general NSR'' program, apply to both major
and non-major stationary sources and modifications and in both
attainment and nonattainment areas, in contrast to the specific
statutory and regulatory requirements for the prevention of significant
deterioration (PSD) \1\ and NNSR permitting programs under parts C and
D of title I of the Act that apply to major sources in attainment and
nonattainment areas, respectively.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The SDAPCD has elected not to submit rules to satisfy
requirements of the PSD program under part C of title I of the Act
for major stationary sources in attainment areas at this time.
Accordingly, the EPA is not evaluating whether this SIP submittal
satisfies PSD program requirements at 40 CFR 51.166, and some
portions of Rules 20.2-20.4 addressing major sources in attainment
areas are excluded from the submittal. See Table 1. The EPA remains
the PSD permitting authority in San Diego County.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Part D of title I of the Act, and the implementing regulations at
40 CFR 51.165, contain the NNSR program requirements for major
stationary sources and major modifications (as those terms are defined
at 40 CFR 51.165) at facilities that are located in a nonattainment
area and are major sources for the pollutants for which the area has
been designated nonattainment.
    Section 110(a)(2)(A) of the Act requires that regulations submitted
to the EPA for SIP approval must be clear and legally enforceable.
Section 110(l) of the Act prohibits the EPA from approving any SIP
revisions that would interfere with any applicable requirement
concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (RFP) or any
other applicable requirement of the CAA. Section 193 of the Act
prohibits the modification of a SIP-approved control requirement in
effect before November 15, 1990 in a nonattainment area, unless the
modification ensures equivalent or greater emission reductions of the
relevant pollutant(s). With respect to procedures, CAA sections 110(a)
and 110(l) require that a state conduct reasonable notice and hearing
before adopting a SIP revision.

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation criteria?

    With the exception noted below, the EPA finds that the submitted
rules generally satisfy the applicable CAA and regulatory requirements.
Accordingly, we are proposing a full approval of Rules 20.2-20.4 and a
limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 20.1 under CAA section
110(k)(3) and 301(a). Below, we discuss generally our evaluation of the
submitted rules. The technical support document (TSD) included in the
docket for this proposed rulemaking contains a more detailed analysis.
    We find that the submitted rules generally satisfy the NNSR and
minor NSR requirements. The rules clearly identify the kinds of
projects subject to review under the District's program, include
legally enforceable procedures to ensure that construction will not
violate the state's control strategy or interfere with attainment or
maintenance of the NAAQS, provide for public availability of relevant
information, and meet other requirements of the minor NSR regulations
at 40 CFR 51.160-164. In addition, the rules include the definitions,
applicability procedures, and requirements for sources in nonattainment
areas to obtain emission reduction offsets and comply with the lowest
achievable emissions rate, as required by the NNSR regulations at 40
CFR 51.165. Rule 20.1 incorporates general regulatory requirements of
the minor NSR program and definitions, applicability procedures, and
requirements of the minor NSR and NNSR programs, while Rules 20.2,
20.3, and 20.4 apply applicable elements of the program to minor
stationary sources, major stationary sources, and portable emission
units, respectively. For more information about how the rules satisfy
these requirements, see our 2018 conditional approval of the District's
minor NSR and NNSR program at 83 FR 50007 (October 4, 2018).
    The EPA has identified one deficiency in Rule 20.1(a) related to 40
CFR 51.160(a) and (b) and CAA section 173(a). The District revised Rule
20.1(a) to specify that the rule applies to a permit application based
on the requirements in the rule as in effect on the date that the
application is determined to be complete. By specifying the rule's
applicability based on the date of application completeness, this
language may limit the APCO's ability to ensure a source will comply
with applicable NSR programs requirements at the time the permit is
issued. Because of this deficiency, and our determination that other
revisions to the rule conform to federal requirements, we are proposing
a limited approval and limited disapproval of Rule 20.1. In order to
correct this deficiency, we recommend that SDAPCD remove or revise the
language added in the revised Rule 20.1(a). The TSD for this action
contains additional detail regarding our determination and
recommendation.
    The submitted rules comply with the substantive and procedural
requirements of CAA section 110(l). With respect to the procedural
requirements, based on our review of the public process documentation
included with the submitted rules, we find that the SDAPCD has provided
sufficient evidence of public notice and opportunity for comment and
public hearings prior to submittal of this SIP revision and has
satisfied these

procedural requirements under CAA section 110(l).
    With respect to the substantive requirements of CAA section 110(l),
we have determined that our approval of the submitted rules would
strengthen the applicable SIP. The addition of public noticing
requirement revisions, updates to the interpollutant offset procedures,
and other changes to Rules 20.1-20.4 will not interfere with any
applicable requirements of the CAA. Overall, the changes to Rules 20.1-
20.4 better conform to the federal requirements. These changes will not
interfere with the area's ability to attain or maintain the NAAQS and
will better align SDAPCD's NSR program to the federal requirements.
Accordingly, we are proposing to find that the revisions to Rules 20.1-
20.4 are approvable under section 110(l).
    Similarly, we find that the submitted rules are approvable under
section 193 of the Act because they do not modify any control
requirement in effect before November 15, 1990 without ensuring
equivalent or greater emission reductions.
    The submitted rules are otherwise consistent with criteria for the
EPA's approval of regulations submitted for inclusion in the SIP,
including the requirement at CAA section 110(c)(2)(A) that submitted
regulations be clear and legally enforceable.
    For the reasons stated above and explained further in our TSD, we
find that the submitted NSR rules generally satisfy the applicable CAA
and regulatory requirements for minor NSR and NNSR permit programs
under CAA section 110(a)(2)(C) and part D of title I of the Act and
other applicable requirements, subject to the one exception noted above
where the EPA has identified a deficiency. This submittal also corrects
the deficiencies described in our 2018 conditional approval of Rules
20.1-20.4 and Rule 20.6. If we finalize this action as proposed, our
action will resolve the conditional approval of these rules, and will
be codified through revisions to 40 CFR 52.220 (Identification of
plan--in part) and 40 CFR 52.248 (Identification of plan--conditional
approval). As described below, a final limited disapproval would also
trigger a timeline for the State to submit a revised SIP, or else face
sanctions under the CAA.

C. Proposed Action and Public Comment

    As authorized in sections 110(k)(3) and 301(a) of the Act, the EPA
is proposing full approval of Rules 20.2-20.4, and a limited approval
and limited disapproval of Rule 20.1. We will accept comments from the
public on this proposal until June 15, 2020. If finalized, this action
would incorporate the submitted rules into the SIP, including those
provisions identified as deficient. This approval is limited because
EPA is simultaneously proposing a limited disapproval of the rule under
section 110(k)(3).
    If finalized as proposed, our limited disapproval action would
trigger an obligation on the EPA to promulgate a Federal Implementation
Plan (FIP) unless the State corrects the deficiencies, and the EPA
approves the related plan revisions, within two years of the final
action. Additionally, because the deficiency relates to NNSR
requirements under part D of title I of the Act, the offset sanction in
CAA section 179(b)(2) would apply in San Diego County 18 months after
the effective date of a final limited disapproval, and the highway
funding sanctions in CAA section 179(b)(1) would apply in the area six
months after the offset sanction is imposed. Neither sanction will be
imposed under the CAA if the State submits and we approve, prior to the
implementation of the sanctions, a SIP revision that corrects the
deficiency that we identify in our final action. The EPA intends to
work with the SDAPCD to correct the deficiency in a timely manner.
    Note that the submitted rule has been adopted by the SDAPCD, and
the EPA's final limited disapproval would not prevent the local agency
from enforcing it. The limited disapproval would also not prevent any
portion of the rule from being incorporated by reference into the
federally enforceable SIP as discussed in a July 9, 1992 EPA memo found
at: https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-07/documents/procsip.pdf.

III. 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 requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the SDAPCD rules described in Table 1 of this preamble. The
EPA has made, and will continue to make, these materials available
through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region IX Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866: Regulatory Planning and Review and Executive
Order 13563: Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review

    This action is not a significant regulatory action and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
for review.

B. Executive Order 13771: Reducing Regulations and Controlling
Regulatory Costs

    This action is not expected to be an Executive Order 13771
regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866.

C. Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the PRA because this action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law.

D. Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA)

    I certify that this action will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities under the RFA. This
action will not impose any requirements on small entities beyond those
imposed by state law.

E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA)

    This action does not contain any unfunded mandate as described in
UMRA, 2 U.S.C. 1531-1538, and does not significantly or uniquely affect
small governments. This action does not impose additional requirements
beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, no additional costs to
state, local, or tribal governments, or to the private sector, will
result from this action.

F. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action does not have federalism implications. It will not have
substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between
the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power
and responsibilities among the various levels of government.

G. Executive Order 13175: Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175, because the SIP is not approved to apply on any
Indian reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian
tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has

jurisdiction, and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.

H. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    The EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 as applying only to those
regulatory actions that concern environmental health or safety risks
that the EPA has reason to believe may disproportionately affect
children, per the definition of ``covered regulatory action'' in
section 2-202 of the Executive Order. This action is not subject to
Executive Order 13045 because it does not impose additional
requirements beyond those imposed by state law.

I. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211, because it is
not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.

J. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) of the NTTAA directs the EPA to use voluntary
consensus standards in its regulatory activities unless to do so would
be inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. The EPA
believes that this action is not subject to the requirements of section
12(d) of the NTTAA because application of those requirements would be
inconsistent with the CAA.

K. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Population

    The EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental
justice in this rulemaking.
