Air Quality Designations for the 2008 Lead (Pb) National Ambient
Air Quality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This rule establishes air quality designations for most areas
in the United States for the 2008 lead (Pb) National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS). In a previous action established on November
16, 2010, the EPA designated as ``nonattainment'' 16 areas as violating
the 2008 Pb NAAQS based on data from the pre-2010 monitoring network.
For all other areas, the EPA deferred action so that data from newly
deployed monitors could be considered in making appropriate designation
decisions. In this action, the EPA is designating all remaining areas
of the United States, including Indian country. The Clean Air Act (CAA)
requires areas designated nonattainment by this rule to undertake
certain planning and pollution control activities to attain the
standards as quickly as reasonably possible.

DATES: Effective Date: The effective date of this rule is December 31,
2011.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID NO. EPA-HQ-OAR-2009-0443. All documents in the docket are

II. What is the purpose of this document?

    The purpose of this action is to promulgate and announce
designations and boundaries for areas of the country for the 2008 Pb
NAAQS based on available information, in accordance with the
requirements of the CAA. All area designations for each state, and the
boundaries for each area, appear in the table at the end of this final
rule. The EPA has been working closely with the states involved in
these designations and has taken several steps to announce that this
rule is available. The EPA has posted the notice on the EPA's
designations Web site and provided a copy of the rule to those states
with nonattainment areas.
    This notice identifies the five areas being designated as
nonattainment areas for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. These five areas surround
violating monitors in Arecibo, Puerto Rico; Chicago, Illinois; Belding,
Michigan; Saline, Kansas; and Pottawattamie, Iowa. The basis for
designating these areas as nonattainment areas is monitored air quality
data from calendar years 2008-2010 indicating violations of the NAAQS.
For these areas being designated nonattainment, states must develop a
State Implementation Plan (SIP) that meets the requirements of section
172(c) and subpart 5 of Part D of the CAA, including providing for
attainment of the NAAQS as expeditiously as practicable, but no later
than December 31, 2016. These SIPs must be submitted to the EPA within
18 months of the effective date of these designations, i.e., by June
30, 2013.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In addition, as discussed in the proposed and final Pb NAAQS
rules, all states are required to submit SIPs pursuant to section
110(a)(1) (``infrastructure SIPs'') within 3 years of promulgation
of the new standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This notice also identifies the expansion of the boundary of one
nonattainment area--the Lower Beaver Valley nonattainment area in
Pennsylvania--that was designated nonattainment on November 16, 2010.
The expansion incorporates additional land area that the EPA has
determined does not meet the 2008 Pb NAAQS. This action does not affect
the required attainment date or SIP submission deadline for this
nonattainment area.
    The EPA is designating three areas (Knox County, Tennessee; an area

surrounding Hayden, Arizona; and Orange County, New York) as
unclassifiable on the basis that there are available monitoring data
from recent periods indicating a significant likelihood that the areas
may be violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS, but the available information is
insufficient at this time to make nonattainment designations. In the
2008 Pb NAAQS rule, the EPA required new monitors to be sited near
sources emitting more than one ton per year or more beginning in 2010
and in certain non-source oriented locations by December 27, 2011.\2\
Due to the timing of monitor siting, monitoring data are available for
the first several months of 2011 for some sites with no 2008-2010 data,
two of which have data in AQS that exceed the standard (Knox County,
Tennessee and Hayden, Arizona). A previously established monitor in the
Orange County, New York, area also has data in AQS from early 2011 that
exceed the standard. Because of the form of the 2008 Pb NAAQS, one 3-
month average ambient air concentration over 0.15 micorgrams per cubic
meter ([mu]g/m\3\) is enough to cause a violation of the Pb NAAQS.
However, before the EPA can finalize nonattainment designation for
these areas, the data that were reported to AQS must be quality assured
and certified and appropriate nonattainment area boundaries must be
defined for the areas. Therefore, the EPA is designating these three
areas as unclassifiable until this process can be completed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ EPA subsequently revised these requirements, including by
lowering the emission threshold for source-oriented monitoring to
0.5 tpy. See 75 FR 81127 (Dec. 27, 2010).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The EPA received a recommendation on behalf of the Governor of
Arizona with recommended boundaries for an area surrounding Hayden,
Arizona, and the EPA is designating that area as unclassifiable
consistent with that recommendation. Consistent with the EPA's view
that the perimeter of a county containing a violating monitor is the
initial presumptive boundary for nonattainment areas, the EPA is
designating the entirety of Orange County, New York, and Knox County,
Tennessee, as unclassifiable. However, the EPA recognizes that
experience with other initial designations for the Pb NAAQS has
indicated that where a NAAQS violation is attributable to a single
source, area-specific analyses have served as a basis for designating a
nonattainment area that is smaller than the county. Accordingly, before
redesignating these two areas as nonattainment and consistent with the
CAA, the EPA intends to work with the states to identify specific
boundaries that appropriately encompass violating areas and any areas
contributing to violations in these counties. The boundaries of any
nonattainment area may well be smaller than the county boundaries, and
in such case the EPA anticipates that the remainder of these two
counties would be redesignated unclassifiable/attainment. The EPA notes
that, although it is designating these three areas as
``unclassifiable'' to reflect the recent monitoring data, there are no
additional planning or control requirements that apply as a result of
an unclassifiable designation, as compared to a designation of
``unclassifiable/attainment.''
    All other areas of the country are being designated as
unclassifiable/attainment, meaning the available information does not
indicate that the air quality in these areas exceeds the 2008 Pb NAAQS.
    When the EPA issued the 2008 Pb NAAQS, we provided that the 1978 Pb
NAAQS would be revoked 1 year after the effective date of designations
for the 2008 NAAQS, except in areas designated nonattainment for the
1978 NAAQS where the standard will remain in effect until a SIP is
approved for the new standard. There are two areas designated
nonattainment for the 1978 NAAQS: Herculaneum, Missouri, and East
Helena, Montana. Herculaneum was designated nonattainment for the 2008
standard in 2010, and thus the 1978 standard will remain in effect
until an attainment SIP for the 2008 NAAQS is approved by the EPA. East
Helena is being designated unclassifiable/attainment for the 2008
standard in this action, and the 1978 standard will remain in effect
until a maintenance SIP for the 2008 NAAQS is approved by the EPA. For
all other areas designated in this action, the 1978 standard is revoked
as of December 31, 2012.
    In addition to making designations for the 2008 Pb NAAQS, the EPA
is also revising 40 CFR part 81 to clarify the presentation of
designations for the 1978 standard and the 2008 standard and to correct
certain inadvertent errors concerning the 1978 standard. In making
designations for the 2008 standard last year, the EPA inadvertently
changed certain information in part 81 for the 1978 standard, such as
identifying areas that had been designated ``unclassifiable'' as
``attainment,'' identifying areas that were not designated at all as
``unclassifiable,'' or including the wrong effective date for a
designation.\3\ Although these errors have no practical effect, and the
1978 standard will be revoked for all but two areas by December 31,
2012, the EPA did not intend to alter any designations for the 1978
standard in making designations for the 2008 standard and is thus
correcting the errors to ensure that part 81 reflects the proper
designations for the 1978 standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ No areas were inadvertently identified as ``nonattainment.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. What is lead?

    Lead (Pb) is a metal found naturally in the environment and present
in some manufactured products. The major sources of Pb air emissions
were historically motor vehicles (such as cars and trucks) and
industrial sources. Motor vehicles emissions of Pb have been
dramatically reduced with the phase-out of leaded gasoline, but Pb is
still used as an additive in general aviation gasoline used in piston-
engine aircraft and remains a trace contaminant in other fuels. Large
industrial sources of Pb emissions currently include metals processing,
particularly primary and secondary Pb smelters. Lead is also emitted
from sources such as: Iron and steel foundries; primary and secondary
copper smelters; industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers;
waste incinerators; glass manufacturing; and cement manufacturing.

IV. What are the health and welfare concerns addressed by the Pb
standards?

    Lead is generally emitted in the form of particles, which can end
up being deposited in water, soil, and dust. People may be exposed to
Pb by inhaling it, or by ingesting lead-contaminated food, water, soil,
or dust. Once in the body, Pb is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream
and can result in a broad range of adverse health effects. These may
include damage to the central nervous system, cardiovascular function,
kidneys, immune system, and red blood cells. Children are particularly
vulnerable to Pb exposure, in part because they are more likely to
ingest Pb and in part because their still-developing bodies are more
sensitive to the effects of Pb. The harmful effects to children's
developing nervous systems (including their brains) arising from Pb
exposure may include intelligence quotient (IQ) loss, poor academic
achievement, long-term learning disabilities, and an increased risk of
delinquent behavior.
    Lead is persistent in the environment and accumulates in soils and
sediments through deposition from air sources, direct discharge of
waste streams to water bodies, mining, and erosion. Ecosystems near
some longstanding

point sources of Pb demonstrate a wide range of adverse effects
including losses in biodiversity, changes in community composition,
decreased growth and reproductive rates in plants and animals, and
neurological effects in vertebrates.

V. What are the CAA requirements for air quality designations and what
action has the EPA taken to meet these requirements?

    After the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, the EPA is
required to designate areas as nonattainment, attainment, or
unclassifiable, pursuant to section 107(d)(1) of the CAA. The
Administrator signed a final rule revising the Pb NAAQS on October 15,
2008, which was published in the Federal Register on November 12, 2008,
and became effective January 12, 2009. Based on the Administrator's
review of the scientific evidence, including numerous studies published
since the last review of the Pb NAAQS, and taking into consideration
the comments expressed by the Clean Air Scientific Advisory Committee
and the public, the Administrator revised the standard from a level of
1.5 [mu]g/m\3\ to a level of 0.15 [micro]g/m\3\. In addition, the
Administrator changed the averaging time and form to a maximum rolling
3-month average evaluated over a 3-year period. The rule also
established new requirements for Pb monitoring networks, including the
requirement that new Pb monitors be located in close proximity to the
largest Pb emissions sources by January 1, 2010.
    The process for designating areas following promulgation of a new
or revised NAAQS is contained in section 107(d) of the CAA. The CAA
requires the EPA to complete the initial area designation process
within 2 years of promulgating a new or revised NAAQS. However, if the
Administrator has insufficient information to make these designations
within that time frame, the EPA has the authority to extend the
designation process by up to 1 additional year. By not later than 1
year after the promulgation of a new or revised NAAQS, each state
governor is required to recommend air quality designations, including
the appropriate boundaries for areas, to the EPA. Tribes are not
required to submit recommendations, but the EPA encourages their
participation in the designations process. The EPA reviews those state
recommendations and is authorized to make any modifications the
Administrator deems necessary. The statute does not define the term
``necessary,'' but the EPA interprets this to authorize the
Administrator to modify designations that did not meet the statutory
requirements or were otherwise inconsistent with the facts or analysis
deemed appropriate by the EPA. If the EPA is considering modifications
to a state's initial recommendation, the EPA is required to notify the
state of any such intended modifications to its recommendation not less
than 120 days prior to the EPA's promulgation of the final designation.
If the state does not agree with the EPA's modification, it then has an
opportunity to respond to the EPA and to demonstrate why it believes
the modification proposed by the EPA is inappropriate, as contemplated
by section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii). Even if a state fails to provide any
recommendation for an area, in whole or in part, the EPA still must
promulgate a designation that the Administrator deems appropriate,
pursuant to section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii).
    Section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA defines a nonattainment area as
any area that does not meet an ambient air quality standard or that is
contributing to ambient air quality in a nearby area that does not meet
the standard. If an area meets either prong of this definition, then
the EPA is obligated to designate the area as ``nonattainment.''
Section 107(d)(1)(A)(iii) provides that any area that the EPA cannot
designate on the basis of available information as meeting or not
meeting the standards should be designated as ``unclassifiable.''
    The EPA believes that section 107(d) provides the agency with
discretion to determine how best to interpret the terms in the
definition of a nonattainment area (e.g., ``contributes to'' and
``nearby'') for a new or revised NAAQS, given considerations such as
the nature of a specific pollutant, the types of sources that may
contribute to violations, the form of the standards for the pollutant,
and other relevant information. In particular, the EPA believes that
the statute does not require the agency to establish bright line tests
or thresholds for what constitutes contribution or nearby for purposes
of designations.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ This view was confirmed in Catawba County v. EPA, 571 F.3d
20 (D.C. Cir. 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similarly, the EPA believes that the statute permits the EPA to
evaluate the appropriate application of the term ``area'' to include
geographic areas based upon full or partial county boundaries, and
contiguous or non-contiguous areas, as may be appropriate for a
particular NAAQS. For example, section 107(d)(1)(B)(ii) explicitly
provides that the EPA can make modifications to designation
recommendations for an area ``or portions thereof,'' and, under section
107(d)(1)(B)(iv), a designation remains in effect for an area ``or
portion thereof'' until the EPA redesignates it.
    Designation activities for federally-recognized tribes are covered
under the authority of section 301(d) of the CAA. This provision of the
CAA authorizes the EPA to treat eligible tribes in a similar manner as
states. Pursuant to section 301(d)(2), we promulgated regulations,
known as the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR), on February 12, 1999. 63 FR
7254, codified at 40 CFR part 49 (1999). That rule specifies those
provisions of the CAA for which it is appropriate to treat tribes in a
similar manner as states. Under the TAR, tribes may choose to develop
and implement their own CAA programs, but are not required to do so.
The TAR also establishes procedures and criteria by which tribes may
request from the EPA a determination of eligibility for such treatment.
The designations process contained in section 107(d) of the CAA is
included among those provisions determined to be appropriate by the EPA
for treatment of tribes in the same manner as states. Under the TAR,
tribes generally are not subject to the same submission schedules
imposed by the CAA on states. As authorized by the TAR, tribes may seek
eligibility to submit designation recommendations to the EPA. In
addition, CAA section 301(d)(4) gives the EPA discretionary authority,
in cases where it determines that treatment of tribes as identical to
states is ``inappropriate or administratively infeasible,'' to provide
for direct administration by regulation to achieve the appropriate
purpose.
    To date, one tribe has applied under the TAR for eligibility to
submit its own recommendations under section 107(d). Nonetheless, the
EPA invited all tribes to submit recommendations concerning
designations for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. The EPA worked with the tribes that
requested an opportunity to submit designation recommendations. Tribes
were provided an opportunity to submit their own recommendations and
supporting documentation and could also comment on state
recommendations and the EPA modifications.
    In light of the new Pb monitoring network, the EPA planned to
complete the initial area designations for Pb in two rounds.
Designation recommendations and supporting documentation were
previously submitted by most states and a few tribes to the EPA by
October 15, 2009. In the first round, established on November 16, 2010,
the EPA designated

as ``nonattainment'' 16 areas as violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS based on
2007-2009 air quality data from the pre-2010 monitoring network. For
all other areas, the EPA extended the deadline for designations by up
to 1 year so that data from the newly deployed monitors can be
considered in making appropriate designation decisions.
    For the second round of designations, states and tribes were given
an opportunity to update their recommendation letters, for these
remaining areas, by December 15, 2010. After receiving recommendations
from states and tribes, and after reviewing and evaluating each
recommendation, the EPA provided a response to the states and tribes on
June 15, 2011. In these letter responses, we indicated whether the EPA
intended to make modifications to the initial state or tribal
recommendations and explained the EPA's reasons for making any such
modifications. The EPA requested that states and tribes respond to any
proposed modifications, made by the EPA, by August 15, 2011. The state
and tribal letters, including the initial recommendations, and the
EPA's June 2011 responses to those letters, including any
modifications, and the subsequent state and tribal comment letters are
in the docket for this action.
    Although not required by section 107(d) of the CAA, the EPA also
provided an opportunity for members of the public to comment on the
EPA's June 2011 response letters. In order to gather additional
information for the EPA to consider before making final designations,
the EPA published a notice on June 21, 2011, (76 FR 36042) which
invited the public to comment on the response letters the EPA sent to
states in June 2011. In that notice, the EPA provided the opportunity
to all interested parties other than states and tribes to submit
comments by July 21, 2011. The state and tribal initial recommendations
and the EPA's responses, including modifications, were posted on a
publicly accessible Web site (http://www.epa.gov/leaddesignations/2008standards/index.html). We did not receive any comments questioning
our general approach to these designations. Comments from the public
and the EPA's responses to state-specific comments are in the docket
for this action.
    In this rule, the EPA is designating as ``nonattainment'' five
areas violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS based on 2008-2010 air quality data
from the newly deployed monitoring network, extending a previously
designated nonattainment area to encompass a violating monitor sited
under the newly deployed monitoring network, and designating three
areas as unclassifiable based on data reported to AQS in early 2011
that exceed the 2008 Pb NAAQS but have not been quality assured and
certified. All other areas are designated as unclassifiable/attainment.
The EPA uses this designation in practice for initial designations to
mean that available information does not indicate that the air quality
in these areas exceeds the 2008 Pb NAAQS.

VI. What guidance did the EPA issue and how did the EPA apply the
statutory requirements and applicable guidance to determine area
designations and boundaries?

    In the notice of proposed rulemaking for the revised Pb NAAQS (73
FR 29184), the EPA issued proposed guidance on its approach to
implementing the standard, including its approach to initial area
designations. The EPA solicited comment on that guidance and, in the
notice of final rulemaking (73 FR 66964), adopted guidance concerning
how to determine the boundaries for nonattainment areas for the Pb
NAAQS.\5\ In that guidance, the EPA indicated that it would use
monitoring data from the 3 most recent calendar years to identify a
violation of the Pb NAAQS. This is appropriate because the form of the
Pb NAAQS is calculated over 36 consecutive valid 3-month site means
(specifically for a 3 calendar year period and the 2 previous
months).\6\ The EPA is generally basing these final designations on
monitored Pb concentrations from Federal Reference Method (FRM) and
Federal Equivalent Method (FEM) monitors from calendar years 2008-2010,
which were the most recent quality assured and certified data available
upon which to base designations decisions.\7\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See also, ``Area Designations for the Revised Lead National
Ambient Air Quality Standards,'' memorandum to Regional
Administrators, Regions I-X, from William Harnett, dated August 21,
2009.
    \6\ For convenience, this notice refers to the period of 3
calendar years and the 2 previous months simply as 3 calendar years.
Thus, monitoring for ``calendar years 2008-2010'' includes data from
November 2007 through December 2010.
    \7\ As noted above, the three unclassifiable designations are
based on uncertified 2011 monitoring data, but there are no planning
or control requirements that apply as a result of an unclassifiable
designation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In the guidance, the EPA stated that the perimeter of a county
containing a violating monitor would be the initial presumptive
boundary for nonattainment areas, but also stated that the state,
tribe, and/or the EPA could conduct additional area-specific analyses
that could justify establishing either a larger or smaller area. The
EPA indicated that the following factors should be considered in an
analysis of whether to exclude portions of a county and whether to
include additional nearby areas outside the county as part of the
designated nonattainment area: (1) Emissions in areas potentially
included versus excluded from the nonattainment area; (2) Air quality
in potentially included versus excluded areas; (3) Population density
and degree of urbanization including commercial development in included
versus excluded areas; (4) Expected growth (including extent, pattern,
and rate of growth); (5) Meteorology (weather/transport patterns); (6)
Geography/topography (mountain ranges or other air basin boundaries);
(7) Jurisdictional boundaries (e.g., counties, air districts,
reservations, etc.); and (8) Level of control of emission sources. The
EPA further indicated that we would consider information provided by
the state resulting from one or more of the following techniques: (1)
Qualitative analysis; (2) spatial interpolation of air quality
monitoring data; or (3) air quality simulation by dispersion modeling.
    The EPA received comments on the proposed guidance suggesting that
violations of the Pb NAAQS were likely to occur in close proximity to
stationary sources of Pb. In response, the EPA indicated that it agreed
that Pb emissions do not generally transport over long distances (e.g.,
as compared to fine particulate matter), and that in situations where a
single source, rather than multiple sources, is causing a NAAQS
violation, the EPA believes that a state may well be able to use area-
specific analyses to determine whether a nonattainment area that is
smaller than the county boundary is appropriate.
    The EPA found that states did use the factors and the variety of
techniques identified by the EPA in making recommendations for
nonattainment areas smaller than the county. In recommending
boundaries, the EPA and states began with monitors that recorded a
violation of the 2008 Pb NAAQS. As provided in Appendix R to 40 CFR
part 50, all valid Pb-TSP data and all valid Pb-PM10 data
measured by a FRM or FEM monitor submitted to the EPA's Air Quality
System (AQS), or otherwise available to the EPA, and meeting the
requirements of 40 CFR part 58, including Appendices A, C, and E, are
used in design value calculations.\8\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ A design value is the air quality value that is compared to
the NAAQS to determine compliance. For the Pb NAAQS, the design
value is the highest 3-month site mean of daily Pb concentrations
over 36 consecutive 3-month means for 3 calendar years.

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

    For areas with a violating monitor, the designated nonattainment
area must encompass the entire area that does not meet, and any nearby
area that contributes to ambient air quality in the area that does not
meet, the 2008 Pb NAAQS. Given the sources and characteristics of Pb
emissions, states and the EPA generally found factors such as
emissions, air quality, and meteorology to be particularly relevant in
determining appropriate boundaries, while factors such as population
density and expected growth were not as relevant for the 2008 Pb NAAQS,
and thus did not play a significant role in determining boundaries. In
some cases, states made a judgment that it was important to follow
jurisdictional boundaries, particularly where jurisdictional boundaries
smaller than a county exist. In other cases, states chose to rely
primarily on air dispersion modeling to determine the recommended
boundaries for nonattainment areas. In each case, the EPA reviewed the
state recommendations and, for the most part, the EPA has accepted the
state's recommendations; however, where the EPA felt that changes were
necessary to a state's initial recommendation, we conveyed those issues
to the state and have worked with the state to revise the boundaries.

VII. What air quality data has the EPA used?

    The final Pb designations contained in this action are generally
based upon air quality monitoring data from calendar years 2008-2010.
As discussed previously, the form of the standard requires comparison
of monitoring values from up to 36 3-month rolling averages (i.e., 3
years, plus 2 preceding months). A violation will have occurred if any
of the 36 3-month average concentrations of either Pb-TSP or Pb-
PM10 exceeds the level of the NAAQS, and a finding of
compliance will require that all 36 3-month averages of Pb-TSP be at or
below the level of the NAAQS.\9\ Moreover, pursuant to the CAA, the EPA
is making designations as expeditiously as practicable. Section 107(d)
requires the EPA to designate areas as nonattainment if sufficient data
exist to support such a designation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \9\ For additional details on how to determine when the 2008 Pb
NAAQS have been met, see 40 CFR part 50, Appendix R.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Due to the timing of the siting of monitors under the monitoring
plan established in the 2008 Pb NAAQS rule, data are available for
several sites for early 2011 that did not have data available for 2008-
2010. Two such monitors, one in Hayden, Arizona and one in Knox County,
Tennessee, have data in AQS that exceed the standard for at least one
3-month period in 2011. Additionally, a site in Orange County, New York
also has monitoring data in AQS for early 2011 that exceed the
standard. The EPA anticipates that these data will be sufficient to
support nonattainment designations or other appropriate action once
quality assured and certified. However, the EPA cannot finalize
nonattainment designations for these areas at this time because the
data that were reported to AQS have not yet been quality assured and
certified and appropriate nonattainment area boundaries have not been
defined for two of the areas. Therefore, the EPA is designating these
three areas as unclassifiable until this process can be completed.\10\
As noted above, there are no additional planning or control
requirements that apply as a result of an unclassifiable designation,
as compared to a designation of ``unclassifiable/attainment.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ The monitors that have shown apparent violations are the
following: AQS ID 04-007-1002 in Hayden, AZ; AQS ID 47-093-0023 in
Knox Co., TN; and AQS ID 36-071-3002 in Orange Co., NY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

VIII. How do designations affect Indian country?

    All counties, partial counties, or Air Quality Control Regions
listed in the table at the end of this document are designated as
indicated. For the first round of Pb designations, the EPA only
designated nonattainment areas and deferred all remaining areas to this
second round of Pb designations. All areas in Indian country are being
designated unclassifiable/attainment.

IX. Where can I find information forming the basis for this rule and
exchanges between the EPA, states, and tribes related to this rule?

    Information providing the basis for this action and related
decisions is provided in the technical support documents (TSDs),
response to comments document, and other information in the docket. The
TSDs, applicable EPA guidance memoranda, copies of correspondence
regarding this process between the EPA and the states, tribes, and
other parties, and the EPA's responses to comments, are available for
review at the EPA Docket Center listed above in the addresses section
of this document and on our designation Web site at http://www.epa.gov/leaddesignations/2008standards/index.html. State-specific information
is available from the EPA Regional Offices.

X. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

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

    This action will establish nonattainment designations for certain
areas of the country for the Pb NAAQS. This action is not a
``significant regulatory action'' under the terms of Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011) and is therefore not subject to review under those orders.

B. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This action does not impose an information collection burden under
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). This rule will respond to the
requirement to promulgate air quality designations after promulgation
of a NAAQS. This requirement is prescribed in the CAA section 107 of
title 1.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This final rule is not subject to the Regulatory Flexibility Act
(RFA), which generally requires an agency to prepare a regulatory
flexibility analysis for any rule that will have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. The RFA applies only
to rules subject to notice-and-comment rulemaking requirements under
the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) or any other statute. This rule
is not subject to notice-and-comment requirements under the APA or any
other statute because the rule is not subject to the APA and is subject
to CAA section 107(d)(2)(B), which does not require that the agency
issue a notice of proposed rulemaking before issuing this rule.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This action contains no federal mandate under the provisions of
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA), 2 U.S.C.
1531-1538 for state, local, or tribal governments or the private
sector. The action imposes no enforceable duty on any state, local or
tribal governments or the private sector. Therefore, this action is not
subject to the requirements of sections 202 and 205 of the UMRA.
    This action is also not subject to the requirements of section 203
of UMRA because it contains no regulatory requirements that might
significantly or uniquely affect small governments. It

does not create any additional requirements beyond those of the CAA and
Pb NAAQS (40 CFR 50.16); therefore, no UMRA analysis is needed. This
rule establishes nonattainment designations for certain areas of the
country for the Pb NAAQS. The CAA requires states to develop plans,
including control measures, based on the designations for areas within
the state.
    One mandate that may apply as a consequence of this action to all
designated nonattainment areas is the requirement under CAA section
176(c) and associated regulations to demonstrate general conformity of
federal actions to SIPs. These rules apply to federal agencies making
conformity determinations. The EPA concludes that such conformity
determinations will not cost $100 million or more in the aggregate.
    The EPA believes that any new controls imposed as a result of this
action will not cost in the aggregate $100 million or more annually.
Thus, this federal action will not impose mandates that will require
expenditures of $100 million or more in the aggregate in any 1 year.
    Nonetheless, the EPA communicated with government entities affected
by this rule, including states, tribal governments, and local air
pollution control agencies.

E. Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires the EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure
meaningful and timely input by state and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that have federalism implications.
``Policies that have federalism implications'' is defined in the
Executive Order to include regulations that have ``substantial direct
effects on the states, or the relationship between the national
government and the states, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
    This final rule 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,
as specified in Executive Order 13132. The CAA establishes the process
whereby states take primary responsibility in developing plans to meet
the Pb NAAQS. This rule will not modify the relationship of the states
and the EPA for purposes of developing programs to implement the Pb
NAAQS. Thus, Executive Order 13132 does not apply to this rule.

F. Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian
Tribal Governments

    This action is not designating any tribal areas as nonattainment.
Executive Order 13175, entitled ``Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments'' (65 FR 67249, November 2, 2000), requires
the EPA to develop an accountable process to ensure ``meaningful and
timely input by tribal officials in the development of regulatory
policies that have Tribal implications.'' This action does not have
tribal implications, as specified in Executive Order 13175 (65 FR
67249, November 9, 2000). This rule concerns the designation of areas
for the Pb NAAQS. The CAA provides for states and eligible tribes to
develop plans to regulate emissions of air pollutants within their
areas based on their designations. The TAR provides tribes the
opportunity to apply for eligibility to develop and implement CAA
programs such as programs to attain and maintain the Pb NAAQS, but it
leaves to the discretion of the tribe the decision of whether to
develop and implement which programs, or appropriate elements of a
program, the tribe will seek to adopt. This rule does not have a
substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes. It does not
create any additional requirements beyond those of the Pb NAAQS (40 CFR
50.16). This rule establishes the designation for most areas of the
country for the Pb NAAQS but no areas in Indian country are being
designated as nonattainment under this rule. Additionally, no tribe has
implemented a CAA program to attain the Pb NAAQS at this time.
Furthermore, this rule does not affect the relationship or distribution
of power and responsibilities between the federal government and Indian
tribes. The CAA and the TAR establish the relationship of the federal
government and tribes in developing plans to attain the NAAQS, and this
rule does nothing to modify that relationship. Because this rule does
not have tribal implications, Executive Order 13175 does not apply.
    Although Executive Order 13175 does not apply to this rule, the EPA
communicated with tribal leaders and environmental staff regarding the
designations process. The EPA also sent individualized letters to all
federally recognized tribes to explain the designation process for the
2008 Pb NAAQS, to provide the EPA designations guidance, and to offer
consultation with the EPA. The EPA provided further information to
tribes through presentations at the National Tribal Forum and through
participation in National Tribal Air Association conference calls. The
EPA also sent individualized letters to all federally recognized tribes
that submitted recommendations to the EPA about the EPA's intended
designations for the Pb standards and offered tribal leaders the
opportunity for consultation. These communications provided
opportunities for tribes to voice concerns to the EPA about the general
designations process for the Pb NAAQS, as well as concerns specific to
a tribe, and informed the EPA about key tribal concerns regarding
designations as the rule was under development.

G. Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children from Environmental
Health and Safety Risks

    The action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it is not economically significant as defined
in Executive Order 12866. However, the protection offered by the Pb
NAAQS may be especially important for children because neurological
effects in children are among if not the most sensitive health
endpoints for Pb exposure. Because children are considered a sensitive
population, in setting the Pb NAAQS we carefully evaluated the
environmental health effects of exposure to Pb pollution among
children. These effects and the size of the population affected are
summarized in the EPA's 2006 Air Quality Criteria Document for Pb and
in the proposed and final Pb NAAQS rules. See http://www.epa.gov/airquality/lead/fr/20081112.pdf.

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

    This action is not subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355
(May 22, 2001)), because it is not a significant regulatory action
under Executive Order 12866.

I. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTAA)

    Section 12(d) of the NTTAA of 1995, Public Law 104-113, section
12(d) (15 U.S.C. 272 note) directs the EPA to use voluntary consensus
standards (VCS) in its regulatory activities unless to do so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impracticable. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g., materials
specifications, test methods, sampling procedures, and business
practices) that are developed or adopted by VCS

bodies. The NTTAA directs the EPA to provide Congress, through OMB,
explanations when the agency decides not to use available and
applicable VCS.
    This action does not involve technical standards. Therefore, the
EPA did not consider the use of any VCS.

J. Executive Order 12898: Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations

    Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629 (Feb. 16, 1994)) establishes
federal executive policy on environmental justice. Its main provision
directs federal agencies, to the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law, to make environmental justice part of their mission
by identifying and addressing, as appropriate, disproportionately high
and adverse human health or environmental effects of their programs,
policies, and activities on minority populations and low-income
populations in the U.S.
    The EPA has determined that this final rule will not have
disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects on any population, including minority or low-income
populations.

K. Congressional Review Act

    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
U.S. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the U.S. 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). This rule will be effective December 31, 2011.

L. Judicial Review

    Section 307 (b) (1) of the CAA indicates which Federal Courts of
Appeal have venue for petitions of review of final actions by the EPA.
This section provides, in part, that petitions for review must be filed
in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit: (i) When
the agency action consists of ``nationally applicable regulations
promulgated, or final actions taken, by the Administrator,'' or (ii)
when such action is locally or regionally applicable, if ``such action
is based on a determination of nationwide scope or effect and if in
taking such action the Administrator finds and publishes that such
action is based on such a determination.''
    This rule designating areas for the 2008 Pb NAAQS is ``nationally
applicable'' within the meaning of section 307(b)(1). This rule
establishes designations for areas across the U.S. for the 2008 Pb
NAAQS. At the core of this rulemaking is the EPA's interpretation of
the definition of nonattainment under section 107(d)(1) of the CAA, and
its application of that interpretation to areas across the country.
    For the same reasons, the Administrator also is determining that
the final designations are of nationwide scope and effect for the
purposes of section 307(b)(1). This is particularly appropriate
because, in the report on the 1977 Amendments that revised section
307(b)(1) of the CAA, Congress noted that the Administrator's
determination that an action is of ``nationwide scope or effect'' would
be appropriate for any action that has a scope or effect beyond a
single judicial circuit. H.R. Rep. No. 95-294 at 323, 324, reprinted in
1977 U.S.C.C.A.N. 1402-03. Here, the scope and effect of this
rulemaking extends to numerous judicial circuits since the designations
apply to areas across the country. In these circumstances, section
307(b)(1) and its legislative history calls for the Administrator to
find the rule to be of ``nationwide scope or effect'' and for venue to
be in the D.C. Circuit.
    Thus, any petitions for review of final designations must be filed
in the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit within 60
days from the date final action is published in the Federal Register.
