ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R06-OAR-2006-0600; FRL-990-30-Region 6]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas;
Revisions to New Source Review (NSR) State Implementation Plan (SIP);
Emergency Orders

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to disapprove revisions to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Texas that relate to
Emergency Orders. This includes portions of SIP revisions that relate
to Emergency Orders that were submitted by Texas on August 31, 1993;
December 10, 1998; February 1, 2006; and July 17, 2006. EPA is
disapproving these revisions because these regulations do not meet the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (the ``Act'' or ``CAA''), EPA
regulations, and applicable policy and guidance. EPA is taking this
action under section 110 and parts C and D of Title I of the Act.

DATES: This final rule is effective on October 28, 2013.

No. EPA-R06-OAR-2006-0600. All documents in the docket are listed on

I. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is taking final action to disapprove the Texas Emergency Orders
Program as submitted by Texas on August 31, 1993, as revised by the
December 10, 1998, February 1, 2006, and July 17, 2006 SIP revision
submittals. These submittals include the initial adoption of 30 TAC
116.410

through 116.418, the initial adoption of 30 TAC Chapter 35, and
subsequent revisions to sections within these regulations. EPA has
concluded that the Emergency Orders Program contained in these
regulations does not meet the requirements of the Act and the EPA's New
Source Review (NSR) regulations.
    EPA proposed disapproval of the above SIP revision submittals on
February 5, 2013 (78 FR 8076). We accepted comments from the public on
this proposal from February 5, 2013 until March 7, 2013. A summary of
the comments received and our evaluation and response thereof is
discussed in section III below. In the proposal and in the Technical
Support Document (TSD), we described our basis for the actions
identified above. The reader should refer to the proposal, the TSD,
section IV of this notice, and the Response to Comments in section III
of this notice for additional information relating to our final action.
    EPA is disapproving the submitted Texas Emergency Orders Program as
not meeting all the requirements applicable to New Source Review (NSR).
Specifically, the issuance of Emergency Orders to projects that are
subject to Major NSR fail to meet the requirements of the CAA and the
implementing regulations as follows:
     The Emergency Orders Program does not satisfy the public
participation required for NSR at the time the Emergency Order is
issued; and
     The Emergency Orders Program does not meet the requirement
that a NSR permit be issued prior to the commencement of construction
of a Major Source.
    The provisions in these submittals relating to the Texas Emergency
Orders Program that include the 30 TAC Chapter 116.410 through 116.418
and Chapter 35 regulatory provisions were not submitted to meet a
mandatory requirement of the Act. Therefore, this final action to
disapprove the submitted Texas Emergency Orders Program does not
trigger a sanctions or Federal Implementation Plan clock. See CAA
section l79(a).

II. What is the background?

A. Summary of Our Proposed Action

    On February 5, 2013, EPA proposed to disapprove revisions to the
SIP submitted by the State of Texas that relate to the Emergency Orders
Program. Texas submitted these SIP revisions on August 31, 1993;
December 10, 1998; February 1, 2006; and July 17, 2006. Table 1
summarizes these SIP revision submittals and their associated affected
provisions that we proposed to disapprove in our February 5, 2013
action.
    Our February 5, 2013 proposal provides a detailed description of
the submittals and the rationale for EPA's proposed action, together
with a discussion of the opportunity to comment. The public comment
period for this action closed on March 7, 2013.

B. Summary of the Submittals Addressed in This Final Action

    Tables 1 and 2 below summarize the changes that are in the SIP
revision submittals. A summary of EPA's evaluation of each section and
the basis for this final action is discussed in sections III through V
of this notice. The TSD (which is located in the docket) includes a
detailed evaluation of the submittals.

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

    In general, the regulations governing Emergency Orders are found in
30 TAC Chapter 35--Emergency and Temporary Orders and Permits;
Temporary Suspension or Amendment of Permit Conditions. These
regulations provide the process by which the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) may issue a Temporary Order, Emergency
Order, Mandatory Order, Permissive Order, and Prohibitory Order and
include provisions that apply to both air orders and non-air orders. As
part of this action, we are disapproving only those portions that are
applicable to the issuance of air Emergency Orders. As noted in our
proposed action on February 5, 2013, EPA returned the non-air portions
of the aforementioned submittals to the State. Under the CAA, SIPs can
only include provisions addressing air quality, so the portions of the
Texas submittals related to non-air orders cannot be included in the
SIP.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On August 18, 1993, sections 116.411 through 116.418 were
adopted under Chapter 116, Subchapter E--Emergency Orders. On
November 18, 1998, these regulations were replaced with sections
35.802 through 35.809 and placed in Chapter 35, Subchapter K.
    \2\ As part of this final rulemaking, we would like to provide
clarification that a SIP is not limited only to provisions that
address criteria pollutants and their precursors. Our intent in
mentioning the scope of the SIP in our proposal (78 FR 8076,
February 5, 2013) was only to differentiate between the air and non-
air related provisions contained in the August 31, 1993, December
10, 1998, February 1, 2006, and July 17, 2006 SIP revision
submittals. With this rulemaking, we are providing clarification
that the SIP is limited to provisions that address air quality;
therefore, the non-air portions of the SIP submittals received from
Texas were returned to the state.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Today, EPA is disapproving the regulations identified in Table 2
above, except for provisions that do not relate to the air quality
requirements of the Act. EPA returned the following non-air portions of
the submitted rules to the State: 30 TAC 35.13; 35.24(b) and (e)(6)-
(7); and 35.25(e)(1)-(8) and (11)-(15). Other state and local agencies
operate programs similar to the Emergency Orders Program. In these
cases, the regulations containing the provisions related to those
programs are located within the states' air quality permitting
regulations, not in the SIP. EPA may exercise its enforcement
discretion on a case-by-case basis to evaluate the owner or operator's
proposed action in response to a catastrophe and utilize enforcement
discretion to allow for appropriate immediate actions to minimize
impacts and restore the sources to full operation.

III. Responses to Comments

    The Federal Register proposing disapproval of these SIP revisions
was published on February 5, 2013 at 78 FR 8076, and the public comment
period closed on March 7, 2013. In response to our proposal, we
received comments from the following: Baker Botts, L.L.P. on behalf of
Business Coalition for Clean Air Appeal Group (BCCA); Baker Botts,
L.L.P. on behalf of Texas Industry Project (TIP); and the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). EPA has summarized the
comments below; the complete comment letters received are available for
review in the docket for this rulemaking.
    Comment 1: TCEQ comments that the Emergency Orders rules are not
intended to substitute for the SIP-approved NSR permitting processes,
and the rules require that the regulated entities that are issued an
Emergency Order are required to undergo the NSR permitting processing
on a specific timeframe to obtain necessary NSR authorizations.
    Response: EPA agrees that the Emergency Orders rules are not
submitted as a substitute for the current SIP-approved NSR permitting
process. However, the issuance of an Emergency Order under the
submitted program precedes the NSR permitting process and authorizes
construction prior to the SIP-approved NSR permitting process
occurring. The CAA does not provide an option to authorize construction
prior to the completion of the NSR permitting process. While the
submitted rules require that a source obtain the necessary NSR
authorization(s) within a specified timeframe, the initial
authorization via the Emergency Order allows a source to commence
construction prior to the source undergoing the required NSR permitting
process. Because the issued Emergency Order is the initial
preconstruction authorization, the program must be evaluated to
determine if it meets the applicable requirements for NSR.
    Comment 2: TCEQ comments that the review of Emergency Orders
applications and the orders themselves ensure or require compliance
with the requirement that any construction or modification will not
interfere with the attainment or maintenance of the NAAQS or violate
applicable portions of the control strategy. TCEQ further comments that
case-by-case enforcement discretion does not have the same protective
outcome for the environment as the Emergency Orders Program and does
not satisfy the public participation required for either major or minor
NSR in the Clean Air Act.
    Response: EPA is not disputing the merits of the technical review
process that TCEQ facilitates as part of the Emergency Orders Program.
However, Texas submitted the Emergency Orders Program as a revision to
the State's SIP. Therefore, as part of this action we are evaluating
the Emergency Orders Program to determine if it is consistent with the
applicable CAA requirements, EPA regulations, and applicable policy and
guidance.
    EPA does not agree that the case-by-case enforcement discretion
approach described in our proposed action does not have the same
protective outcome for the environment as the Texas Emergency Orders
Program. On page 78 FR 8081 of our proposed action, we described a
real-world approach of applying the state-only Emergency Orders
Program, including the review process outlined in the program rules,
with case-by-case EPA enforcement discretion. This described approach
would maintain the elements of the Texas Emergency Orders Program
technical review and couple it with the EPA's case-by-case evaluation
of the owner or operator's proposed action in response to a
catastrophe. Therefore, the approach discussed by EPA in our proposal
would not be any less protective than a stand-alone Emergency Orders
Program and can still allow for facilities to take appropriate
immediate actions to bring a source back up to full operation and
minimize additional impacts resulting from the catastrophe.
    In response to TCEQ's statement regarding public participation
requirements and enforcement discretion, the public participation
requirements cited by EPA in our proposed action as the basis of our
disapproval are applicable to SIP revisions that are submitted to EPA
for review and approval into the SIP, and would not apply to our
proposed utilization of EPA's enforcement discretion. As stated
previously, on a case-by-case basis EPA would evaluate proposed actions
in response to a catastrophe and would utilize its enforcement
discretion to allow for appropriate immediate actions to minimize
impacts and restore the sources to full operation.
    Comment 3: TCEQ comments that the case-by-case approach described
by EPA in the proposed action does not provide legal certainty of
approved rules and forces companies to evaluate the costs of the risks
of violating the CAA provisions at times when quick action is
necessary. TCEQ states that the Emergency Orders rules allow regulated
entities to obtain needed authorizations for immediate actions in
response to natural disasters and other defined catastrophes while
mitigating the economic risks regulated entities have to calculate and
consider from fines and penalties associated with unauthorized

air emissions that could hinder necessary immediate actions.
    Response: The practice described in our proposal notice is simply a
description of state-EPA interaction utilized by sources located in
other states. Companies in those states are not required to utilize
this practice, and can use available SIP-approved permitting mechanisms
to address their needs. Similarly, companies in Texas can address their
needs using permitting mechanisms available in the Texas SIP.
    Texas submitted the Emergency Orders Program as a revision to the
State's SIP. Therefore, EPA is evaluating the SIP revision submittal to
determine if the program meets the requirements of the CAA, EPA
regulations, and applicable policy and guidance. In the case where a
submitted SIP revision, like the Texas Emergency Orders Program, does
not meet the applicable CAA requirements or is inconsistent with EPA
regulations, policy, or guidance, we cannot approve that revision into
a SIP.
    Comment 4: TCEQ indicates that they had previously provided various
documents to EPA during informal discussions to illustrate how the
Emergency Orders rules are compliant with the CAA, and that they can
provide this information again, if necessary.
    Response: EPA did receive from Texas three orders signed by the
TCEQ Commissioners affirming Emergency Orders previously issued by the
Executive Director of the TCEQ. These documents were not persuasive in
demonstrating that the Emergency Orders Program met the requirements of
the CAA, as described in Section IV of this notice.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Rather, the orders showed that companies were allowed to
construct and operate without prior public notice, and prior to the
issuance of a SIP-approved permit. For example, one order (94-0722-
AIR) allowed a facility to construct, operate, shut down, and
dismantle two temporary boilers at a polypropylene unit at a
chemical plant. The public was provided notice of the Emergency
Order four days after the boilers were dismantled. The three orders
submitted by Texas are available for review in the docket of this
rulemaking.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Comment 5: TCEQ notes that EPA has approved similar rules for other
states to address emergency conditions, including the rules for New
Mexico.
    Response: EPA is currently evaluating the rules currently approved
into the New Mexico SIP to determine what action, if any, is needed to
ensure that the State's SIP is consistent with the applicable CAA
requirements, EPA regulations, and applicable policy and guidance. If
it is determined that some action is needed regarding the New Mexico
SIP, EPA will address that in a separate action and rulemaking. This
final action addresses only those aforementioned SIP revision
submittals submitted by Texas related to the State's Emergency Orders
Program.
    Comment 6: BCCA and TIP comment that the Emergency Orders Program
satisfies all statutory requirements for SIP approval, including
compliance with the NAAQS, and will often result in a facility that is
issued an Emergency Order being subject to more stringent requirements
than those that might otherwise be required.
    Response: We do not agree that the Emergency Orders Program
satisfies statutory requirements for SIP approval. As detailed in our
proposed action, the proposed SIP revisions related to Emergency Orders
do not meet all of the requirements applicable to NSR. Specifically,
the issuance of Emergency Orders to projects that are subject to Major
NSR fails to satisfy the public participation required for NSR at the
time the order is issued and does not meet the requirement that a NSR
permit be issued prior to the commencement of construction of a Major
Source. The basis of our disapproval, as outlined in our proposed
action, is that the Emergency Orders Program fails to meet these NSR
requirements.
    Comment 7: BCCA and TIP comment that many, if not most, projects
eligible for an Emergency Order may not reflect a new major stationary
source or a major modification, and that they are unaware of a
situation in which an Emergency Order has been used to circumvent major
NSR requirements. The commenters also state that Emergency Orders
Program has been an appropriate complement to the minor NSR permitting
requirements where prompt actions are necessary in response to a
catastrophe. BCCA and TIP further comment that if EPA disapproves the
Emergency Orders Program on the basis of Major NSR concerns, that EPA
would be making the minor NSR program subject to the same requirements
for SIP approval as Major NSR programs. The commenters state that if
EPA were to identify a proper basis to disapprove the program, EPA
should do so to the most limited extent possible. BCCA and TIP
reference a recent court decision that indicated that in cases where
EPA had concerns that a state program would enable circumvention of
Major NSR requirements, ``EPA might have made use of its conditional
approval authority'' rather than disapproving the entire program.
    Response: Under the submitted provisions found in 30 TAC Chapter
35, the TCEQ may issue an order under its Emergency Orders Program that
authorizes immediate action for the addition, replacement, or repair of
facilities, control equipment, or the repair or replacement of roads,
bridges, and other infrastructure whenever a catastrophe necessitates
such construction and emissions otherwise precluded under the Texas
Clean Air Act. See 30 TAC 35.801. The Emergency Orders Program SIP
revisions submitted by Texas for review by EPA do not limit the program
solely to Minor NSR actions. The submitted SIP revisions and the
proposed regulations contained in the submittals do not provide any
indication that the program is limited only to Minor NSR.\4\ Therefore,
EPA's evaluation of the SIP revisions includes a comparison with Major
NSR requirements. As noted in our proposed action, the Emergency Orders
Program does not meet all applicable requirements for Major NSR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ In the December 10, 1998 SIP revision submittal, the record
indicates that while it is not anticipated for most situations it is
possible that construction at a facility in response to a
catastrophe could trigger Major NSR. The record also indicates that
the issuance of an Emergency Order to authorize Major NSR actions in
response to a catastrophe under the proposed program is possible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We do not agree that the disapproval of the Emergency Orders
Program on the basis of our Major NSR concerns would be making the
State's Minor NSR program subject to the same standards for SIP
approval for Major NSR. The Emergency Orders Program as submitted by
Texas applies to both Major and Minor NSR and, consequently, must be
evaluated against all applicable federal requirements, including those
for both Major and Minor NSR. Further, as we noted in our proposed
action, the Minor NSR program requires public participation as part of
the construction permitting process, see 40 CFR 51.161, which the
Emergency Orders Program does not.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Minor NSR requirements for public participation are
found at 40 CFR 51.161, and require prior to construction or
modification the availability for public inspection of information
regarding the construction (including the State's analysis of the
effect on air quality), a 30-day period for submittal of public
comment, and a notice by prominent advertisement in the area
affected. EPA recognizes a state's ability to tailor the scope of
its Minor NSR program as necessary to achieve and maintain the
NAAQS. See 77 FR 74140.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Regarding conditional approvals, the CAA does provide that EPA may
conditionally approve a SIP submittal ``based on a commitment of the
state to adopt specific enforceable measures by a date certain, but not
later than 1 year after the date of approval of the plan revision.''
See CAA 110(k)(4). However, in order to conditionally approve the SIP
revisions related to the Emergency Orders Program, we would need a
commitment from Texas to make

revisions to the submitted rules, as necessary, to address our concerns
(including the concerns outlined in our proposed disapproval notice)
and meet all applicable requirements. To date, EPA has not received any
such commitment from Texas that would allow for EPA to use its
conditional approval authority.
    Comment 8: BCCA and TIP comment that they believe that the
Emergency Orders Program is more stringent than the enforcement
discretion approach recommended by EPA. The commenters state that an
enforcement discretion approach provides no standards for an agency to
allow construction or modification in response to a catastrophe;
whereas, the Emergency Orders Program has specific requirements that
must be met by an issued Emergency Order.
    Response: The EPA's enforcement discretion approach and the TCEQ's
Emergency Orders Program both provide a process for the agencies to
follow when evaluating actions proposed by emission sources in response
to catastrophes, including natural disasters. Both approaches achieve
the overall goal of coordinating a review process in order to allow the
source to take appropriate actions in response to a catastrophe. The
use of the different processes is not an issue of stringency. It is an
issue of the most effective means available to the agencies to quickly
achieve the overall goal.

IV. What are the grounds for this disapproval action of the Texas
Emergency Orders Program?

    EPA is disapproving the revisions to the SIP submitted by the State
of Texas that relate to the Emergency Orders Program, identified in
Tables 1 and 2. EPA proposed disapproval of the Emergency Orders
Program and solicited public comments. EPA has reviewed and responded
to the comments (including adverse comments), and EPA is taking this
final action to disapprove the Emergency Orders Program based on the
reasons discussed below.
    Based on our evaluation, EPA has found that the proposed Emergency
Orders Program does not meet all applicable requirements of the CAA,
EPA regulations, and applicable policy and guidance. Specifically, the
issuance of Emergency Orders to projects that are subject to Major NSR
fail to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act and the implementing
regulations as described below:

A. The Emergency Orders Program Does Not Satisfy the Public
Participation Required for NSR at the Time the Emergency Order Is
Issued

    As stated in our proposed action, the Emergency Orders Program
fails to satisfy the public participation requirements for Major NSR at
the time the Emergency Order is issued. Instead, the applicable public
participation for Major NSR projects will take place after the issuance
of the Emergency Order when the applicant submits their application for
a Major NSR permit. Meanwhile, the applicant is authorized by the
Emergency Order to begin construction of the Major NSR project prior to
permit application submission and permit issuance. Consequently, the
public is not afforded an opportunity to review and comment on the
proposed project (as required under the CAA and implementing
regulations) until after construction has begun; thus the public has
not been provided meaningful opportunity to participate prior to
commencement of construction of the Major NSR project. See 40 CFR
51.161 and 51.166(q).

B. The Emergency Orders Program Does Not Meet the Requirement That a
NSR Permit Be Issued Prior to the Commencement of Construction of a
Major Source

    While EPA agrees with commenters that the Emergency Orders Program
will not replace the current SIP approved NSR permitting processes,
including Major NSR, the program does provide an interim authorization
for immediate action, including construction, following a catastrophe
via the issuance of an Emergency Order. The issued order is not a final
issued Major NSR permit. If the proposed action authorized under an
Emergency Order is subject to Major NSR, the Emergency Orders Program
requires that the source apply for a Major NSR permit within 60 days
following the issuance of the order. These permits are required to be
applied for and issued in accordance with the applicable NSR
requirements. However, the NSR permitting would occur following the
commencement of construction at the source, which is not consistent
with the CAA requirements. For PSD see CAA at Sec.  165(a)(1) and 40
CFR 51.166(a)(7)(iii). For NNSR see CAA Sec.  172(c)(5) and 40 CFR
51.165(a)(2)(i)-(iii).
    In summary, for the reasons stated above, the submitted Emergency
Orders Program is not approvable in the Texas SIP because it does not
meet all of the applicable requirements of the CAA, EPA regulations,
and applicable policy and guidance. Some commenters state that EPA
could limit its disapproval of the Emergency Orders Program by
exercising its conditional approval authority. As discussed in our
response to comments, a conditional approval requires a commitment from
the State to make revisions to the submitted rules, as necessary, to
address our concerns and meet all applicable requirements. See CAA
110(k)(4). To date, EPA has not received any commitment from Texas that
would allow for EPA to use its conditional approval authority.
    Therefore, for the reasons discussed above, we are taking final
action to disapprove the SIP revision submittals relating to the Texas
Emergency Orders Program as submitted by Texas on the August 31, 1993,
December 10, 1998, February 1, 2006, and July 17, 2006.

V. Final Action

    EPA is disapproving the Texas Emergency Orders Program submitted in
a series of SIP revisions, indentified in the Tables in section II of
this preamble. These affected provisions are addressed in the August
31, 1993, as revised by the December 10, 1998, February 1, 2006, and
July 17, 2006 SIP revision submittals submitted by Texas.
    EPA is disapproving the aforementioned SIP revisions submittals
because these regulations do not meet the requirements of the CAA, EPA
regulations, and applicable policy and guidance. EPA is taking this
action under section 110 and parts C and D of Title I of the Act. We
are not taking on action the non-air portions of the referenced SIP
revision submittals, which are beyond the scope of the SIP and were
returned to the State.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

A. Executive Order 12866, Regulatory Planning and Review

    This final action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
the terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and
is therefore not subject to review under the Executive Order.

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,
because this SIP disapproval under section 110 and subchapter I, part D
of the Clean Air Act will not in-and-of itself create any new
information collection burdens but simply disapproves certain State
requirements for inclusion into the SIP. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) generally requires an agency
to conduct a regulatory flexibility analysis of any rule subject to
notice and comment rulemaking requirements unless the agency certifies
that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. Small entities include small
businesses, small not-for-profit enterprises, and small governmental
jurisdictions. For purposes of assessing the impacts of today's rule on
small entities, small entity is defined as: (1) A small business as
defined by the Small Business Administration's (SBA) regulations at 13
CFR 121.201; (2) a small governmental jurisdiction that is a government
of a city, county, town, school district or special district with a
population of less than 50,000; and (3) a small organization that is
any not-for-profit enterprise which is independently owned and operated
and is not dominant in its field.
    After considering the economic impacts of today's rule on small
entities, I certify that this action will not have a significant impact
on a substantial number of small entities. This rule does not impose
any requirements or create impacts on small entities. This SIP
disapproval under section 110 and subchapter I, part D of the Clean Air
Act will not in-and-of itself create any new requirements but simply
disapproves certain State requirements for inclusion into the SIP.
Accordingly, it affords no opportunity for EPA to fashion for small
entities less burdensome compliance or reporting requirements or
timetables or exemptions from all or part of the rule. The fact that
the Clean Air Act prescribes that various consequences (e.g., higher
offset requirements) may or will flow from this disapproval does not
mean that EPA either can or must conduct a regulatory flexibility
analysis for this action. Therefore, this action will not have a
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.
    We continue to be interested in the potential impacts of this rule
on small entities and welcome comments on issues related to such
impacts.

D. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This action contains no Federal mandates 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.'' EPA has determined that the disapproval action does not
include a Federal mandate that may result in estimated costs of $100
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments in the
aggregate, or to the private sector. This action disapproves pre-
existing requirements under State or local law, and imposes no new
requirements. Accordingly, no additional costs to State, local, or
tribal governments, or to the private sector, result from this action.

E. Executive Order 13132, Federalism

    Executive Order 13132, entitled ``Federalism'' (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999), requires 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, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.''
    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, as
specified in Executive Order 13132, because it merely disapproves
certain State requirements for inclusion into the SIP and does not
alter the relationship or the distribution of power and
responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. Thus, Executive
Order 13132 does not apply to this action.

F. Executive Order 13175, Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments

    This action does not have tribal implications, as specified in
Executive Order 13175 (59 FR 22951, November 9, 2000), because the SIP
EPA is disapproving would not apply in Indian country located in the
State, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs
on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order
13175 does not apply to this action.

G. Executive Order 13045, Protection of Children From Environmental
Health Risks and Safety Risks

    EPA interprets Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
as applying only to those regulatory actions that concern health or
safety risks, such that the analysis required under section 5-501 of
the Executive Order has the potential to influence the regulation. This
action is not subject to Executive Order 13045 because it because it is
not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997). This SIP disapproval under section 110 and subchapter I, part D
of the Clean Air Act will not in-and-of itself create any new
regulations but simply disapproves certain State requirements for
inclusion into the SIP.

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

    This rule 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

    Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (``NTTAA''), Public Law 104-113, section 12(d) (15 U.S.C.
272 note) directs EPA to use voluntary consensus standards in its
regulatory activities unless to do so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., materials specifications, test methods,
sampling procedures, and business practices) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus standards bodies. NTTAA directs EPA to
provide Congress, through OMB, explanations when the Agency decides not
to use available and applicable voluntary consensus standards.
    The EPA believes that this action is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of NTTAA because application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act.

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 United States.
    EPA lacks the discretionary authority to address environmental
justice in this

action. In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve or
disapprove state choices, based on the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely disapproves certain State requirements
for inclusion into the SIP under section 110 and subchapter I, part D
of the Clean Air Act and will not in-and-of itself create any new
requirements. Accordingly, it 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.

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
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).

L. 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 November 25, 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
