40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0439; FRL-9870-02-R9]

Air Plan Approval; California; San Diego County Air Pollution
Control District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a revision to the San Diego County Air Pollution
Control District's (SDCAPCD or ``District'') portion of the California
State Implementation Plan (SIP). This revision concerns a negative
declaration for the 2008 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) in the ozone nonattainment area under the
jurisdiction of the SDCAPCD and one volatile organic compound (VOC)
rule covering transfer of organic compounds into mobile transport
trucks. We are approving a local rule to regulate these emission
sources under the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``the Act'') and the negative
declaration. We are also correcting sections in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) to reflect the current status of certain provisions
of the California SIP.

DATES: This rule is effective on February 16, 2023.

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-R09-OAR-2022-0439. All documents in the docket are
listed on the https://www.regulations.gov website. Although listed in
the index, some information is not publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the internet and will be
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket
materials are available through https://www.regulations.gov, or please

I. Proposed Action

    On June 3, 2022 (87 FR 33697), the EPA proposed to approve the
following submittals into the California SIP.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                                Adopted/
                Local agency                            Document title                amended        Submitted
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SDCAPCD....................................  Rule 61.2 Transfer of Organic            02/10/2021      04/20/2021
                                              Compounds into Mobile Transport
                                              Tanks.
SDCAPCD....................................  2020 Reasonably Available Control        10/14/2020      12/29/2020
                                              Technology (RACT) Demonstration
                                              for the National Ambient Air
                                              Quality Standards for Ozone in San
                                              Diego County, October 2020--
                                              Negative Declaration for Non-CTG
                                              Major VOC Sources.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As mentioned in our proposed action, these submittals correct
deficiencies identified in the EPA's December 3, 2020 (85 FR 77996)
partial disapproval of SDCAPCD's 2008 Eight-Hour Ozone Reasonably
Available Control Technology Demonstration for San Diego County (``2008
RACT SIP''). SDCAPCD Rule 61.2 is designed to decrease VOC emissions
during the transfer of liquid compounds into mobile transport tanks.
The submitted negative declaration is a formally adopted declaration
that there are currently no sources of VOC emissions in the portion of
the ozone nonattainment area regulated by SDCAPCD that exceed the 100
tons per year VOC threshold for Moderate ozone nonattainment areas and
are not covered by a Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) document. We
proposed to approve these submittals because we have determined that
they comply with

the relevant CAA requirements. Our proposed action contains more
information on the submittals and our evaluation.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    The EPA's proposed action provided a 30-day public comment period.
During the comment period we received one comment in support of the
EPA's June 3, 2022 proposed action.

III. EPA Action

    No comments were submitted that change our assessment of the
submittals as described in our proposed action. Therefore, as
authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is fully approving
into the California SIP SDCAPCD's negative declaration for non-CTG
major VOC sources for the 2008 RACT SIP Moderate area requirements and
Rule 61.2. The February 10, 2021 version of Rule 61.2 will replace the
previously approved version of this rule (amended July 26, 2000) in the
SIP. The approval of these submittals stops all sanctions and Federal
implementation plan clocks started by our December 3, 2020 (85 FR
77996) partial disapproval action on the SDCAPCD 2008 RACT SIP. We are
also correcting an error in the CFR concerning another deficiency
previously identified in the SDCAPCD 2008 RACT SIP that has since been
addressed by the State of California. In our rulemaking promulgating
that approval, we failed to remove the language in the CFR that
codified the disapproval, which could result in public confusion about
the status of the California SIP.
    On October 22, 2021 (86 FR 58593), the EPA published a final rule
entitled ``Air Plan Approval; California; San Diego Air Pollution
Control District'' that approved revisions to the SDCAPCD portion of
the California SIP. That rule approved the February 10, 2021 versions
of Rule 67.6.1 and Rule 67.6.2 into the California SIP, replacing
previously approved versions of these rules. The revision to Rule
67.6.1 fixed the deficiency identified in our partial disapproval of
SDCAPCD's 2008 RACT SIP with respect to the requirement to establish
RACT-level controls for sources covered by the ``Control Techniques
Guidelines for Industrial Cleaning Solvents'' (85 FR 77996). However,
the EPA's final rule inadvertently failed to include amendatory
instructions to remove the industrial cleaning solvents category from
the regulatory text at 40 CFR 52.237(b)(2)(i)(D), where it is listed as
a disapproved element of SDCAPCD's RACT SIP. This action corrects the
regulatory text to reflect the current status of SDCAPCD's RACT SIP.
    In this rule, the EPA will remove the industrial cleaning solvents
CTG category from the regulatory text at 40 CFR 52.237(b)(2)(i)(D), as
SDCAPCD has met its RACT SIP obligations with respect to this CTG
category (86 FR 58593). The EPA has determined that this action falls
under the ``good cause'' exemption in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA) which, upon finding ``good cause,''
authorizes agencies to dispense with public participation where public
notice and comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or
contrary to public interest. Public notice and comment for this action
is unnecessary because the underlying rules were already subject to a
30-day comment period, and this action is merely updating the
regulatory text accordingly. Further, this action is consistent with
the purpose and rationale of the final rules. Because this action does
not change the EPA's analyses or overall actions, no purpose would be
served by additional public notice and comment. Consequently,
additional public notice and comment are unnecessary.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of SDCAPCD
Rule 61.2, ``Transport of Organic Compounds into Mobile Transport
Tanks,'' revision adopted on February 10, 2021, which regulates VOC
emissions during the transfer of liquid compounds into mobile transport
tanks. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents
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).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Additional information about these statutes and Executive orders
can be found at https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/laws-and-executive-orders.

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. 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.

C. 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.

D. 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.

E. 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.

F. 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.

G. 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.

H. 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.

I. 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.

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

    The State did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal. There is no information in the record
inconsistent with the stated goals of E.O. 12898 of achieving
environmental justice for people of color, low-income populations, and
indigenous peoples.

K. Congressional Review Act (CRA)

    This action is subject to the CRA, and the EPA will submit a rule
report to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of
the United States. 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 Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by March 20, 2023. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule 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)).

to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: EPA created ENERGY STAR as a voluntary program to help
businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior
energy efficiency. The program focuses on reducing utility-generated
emissions by reducing the demand for energy. In 1991, EPA launched the
Green Lights Program to encourage corporations, State and local
governments, colleges and universities, and other organizations to
adopt energy-efficient lighting as a profitable means of preventing
pollution and improving lighting quality. Since then, EPA has rolled
Green Lights into ENERGY STAR and expanded ENERGY STAR to encompass
organization-wide energy performance improvement, such as building
technology upgrades, product purchasing initiatives, and employee
training. At the same time, EPA has streamlined the reporting
requirements of ENERGY STAR and focused on providing incentives for
improvements (e.g., ENERGY STAR Awards Program). EPA also makes tools
and other resources available on the web to help the public overcome
the barriers to evaluating their energy performance and investing in
profitable improvements.
    To join ENERGY STAR, organizations are asked to complete a
Partnership Letter or Agreement that establishes their commitment to
energy efficiency. Partners agree to undertake efforts such as
measuring, tracking, and benchmarking their organization's energy
performance by using tools such as those offered by ENERGY STAR;
developing and implementing a plan to improve energy performance in
their facilities and operations by adopting a strategy provided by
ENERGY STAR; and educating staff and the public about their Partnership
with ENERGY STAR, and highlighting achievements with the ENERGY STAR,
where available.
    Partners also may be asked to periodically submit information to
EPA as needed to assist in program implementation.
    Partnership in ENERGY STAR is voluntary and can be terminated by
Partners or EPA at any time. EPA does not expect organizations to join
the program unless they expect participation to be cost-effective and
otherwise beneficial for them.
    In addition, Partners and any other interested party can seek
recognition and help EPA promote energy-efficient technologies by
evaluating the efficiency of their buildings using EPA's on-line tools
(e.g., Portfolio Manager) and applying for recognition. EPA does not
expect to deem any information collected under ENERGY STAR to be
Confidential Business Information (CBI).
    Form Numbers: 5900-19, 5900-33, 5900-195, 5900-21, 5900-22, 590-
198, 5900-16, 5900-89, 5900-263, 5900-262, 5900-264, and 5900-265.
    Respondents/affected entities: Private sector.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Voluntary.
    Estimated number of respondents: 15,000 (total).
    Frequency of response: One-time, on occasion, monthly, annually,
and/or periodically.
    Total estimated burden: 194,509 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $24,408,276 (per year) includes $10,318,180
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is no change of hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. EPA is currently evaluating and updating these estimates as part
of the ICR renewal process. EPA will discuss its updated estimates, as
well as changes from the last approval, in the next Federal Register
notice to be issued for this renewal.

[Docket No. FAA-2020-0274; Airspace Docket No. 20-ASO-8]
RIN 2120-AA66

Amendment of Area Navigation (RNAV) Route Q-56 in the Vicinity of
Atlanta, GA

AGENCY: Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This action amends area navigation (RNAV) route Q-56 in the
vicinity of Atlanta, GA, by re-establishing the route over the KBLER,
GA, waypoint, which was recently removed from the route. Subsequent to
the recent publication of the rule that removed the KBLER waypoint from
Q-56, the FAA has identified safety related issues resulting from the
removal of the waypoint and the resultant relocation of the affected
route segment. This action amends Q-56 to reflect the route as it was
charted prior to the KBLER waypoint being removed, addresses the safety
issues created by the removal of the waypoint from the route, and
restores the safety and efficiency of the high altitude enroute
structure supporting the flow of air traffic in the vicinity of the
Atlanta, GA, and Charlotte, NC, Metroplex areas.

DATES: Effective date 0901 UTC, May 21, 2020. The Director of the
Federal Register approves this incorporation by reference action under
Title 1 Code of Federal Regulations part 51, subject to the annual
revision of FAA Order 7400.11 and publication of conforming amendments.

ADDRESSES: FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and Reporting
Points, and subsequent amendments can be viewed online at https://www.faa.gov/air_traffic/publications/. For further information, you can

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Authority for This Rulemaking

    The FAA's authority to issue rules regarding aviation safety is
found in Title 49 of the United States Code. Subtitle I, Section 106
describes the authority of the FAA Administrator. Subtitle VII,
Aviation Programs, describes in more detail the scope of the agency's
authority. This rulemaking is promulgated under the authority described
in Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart I, Section 40103. Under that section,
the FAA is charged with prescribing regulations to assign the use of
the airspace necessary to ensure the safety of aircraft and the
efficient use of airspace. This regulation is within the scope of that
authority as it modifies the route structure in the National Airspace
System as necessary to preserve the safe and efficient flow of air
traffic.

History

    In 2014, the FAA established 14 RNAV Q-routes and modified 4 Q-
routes to enhance the efficiency of the National Airspace System (NAS)
by improving the flow of air traffic in the vicinity of the Atlanta,
GA, and Charlotte, NC, Metroplex areas. One of the Q-routes established
at that time was Q-56, which was designed with the KBLER, GA, waypoint
included in the route between the CATLN, AL, fix and the KELLN, SC,
waypoint.
    The FAA recently published a rule in the Federal Register for
Docket No. FAA-2018-0817 (85 FR 3814; January 23, 2020) to amend and
establish multiple Air Traffic Service (ATS) routes due to the planned
decommissioning of the Hobby, TX, VHF Omnidirectional Range/Distance
Measuring Equipment (VOR/DME) navigation aid. One of the routes amended
in that action was Q-56, which included an amendment removing the
KBLER, GA, waypoint.
    The removal of the KBLER, GA, waypoint from Q-56 has inadvertently
created safety issues within the Atlanta Air Route Traffic Control
Center (ARTCC) airspace by effectively moving the affected route
segment 3 miles to the south at a heavily used choke point east of the
Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. By moving the
affected route segment south in that area, controllers are now required
to ensure that point-out coordination of aircraft on Q-56 is
accomplished because the route in that area is less than 2.5 miles from
the adjacent ATC sector boundaries. If air traffic control misses this
additional point-out coordination, the result will be an airspace
violation and possible loss of aircraft separation.
    The unintended airway change also effects how aircraft inbound to
Charlotte/Douglas International Airport are handled via the JONZE
standard terminal arrival route (STAR). The original Q-56 route design,
with the KBLER waypoint included, ensured that Charlotte/Douglas
International Airport arrival aircraft flying the JONZE STAR would
diverge from Q-56 at a point where Atlanta ARTCC controllers were able
to transition the arrival aircraft through overflight traffic in the
area in a manner that would meet descent restrictions established by
the Charlotte Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) controllers
based on current traffic flows. With the affected Q-56 route segment
being relocated closer to the adjacent ATC sector boundaries, it has
created additional safety concerns associated with ATC being able to
descend Charlotte/Douglas International Airport arrival aircraft in a
timely manner to meet descent restrictions and impacting the
efficiencies realized by the Charlotte/Douglas International Airport
Optimized Profile Descent (OPD) procedures. Further, the possibility
that ATC may be unable to meet descent restrictions for Charlotte/
Douglas International Airport arrival aircraft could also result in the
Charlotte TRACON being unable to accept the

arrival aircraft into their airspace; thus creating airspace congestion
and safety issues for ATC to resolve.
    Lastly, the RNAV Q-routes that were established in 2014 within
Atlanta ARTCC's airspace, which included Q-56, were designed to ensure
the required separation between the routes to integrate the departure
flows from two of the top 10 busiest airports, Hartsfield-Jackson
Atlanta International Airport and Charlotte/Douglas International
Airport. To support the integration of departure flows, procedural
separation was leveraged for as long as possible in order to establish
air traffic flow efficiencies supporting both airports. With the
affected Q-56 route segment now relocated 3 miles south of its original
position, another unintended safety issue has been created by changing
the point where conflictions between Q-56 and Q-64 occur. Absent the
procedural separation benefits associated with Q-56 being charted over
the KBLER waypoint, the complexity of separating aircraft operating on
Q-56 and Q-64 is increased significantly; requiring additional
controllers to overcome potential loss of separation safety issues.
    RNAV Q-routes are published in paragraph 2006 of FAA Order
7400.11D, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15, 2019, which
is incorporated by reference in 14 CFR 71.1. The RNAV Q-route listed in
this rule will be subsequently published in the Order.
    FAA Order 7400.11, Airspace Designations and Reporting Points, is
published yearly and effective on September 15.

Availability and Summary of Documents for Incorporation by Reference

    This document amends FAA Order 7400.11D, Airspace Designations and
Reporting Points, dated August 8, 2019, and effective September 15,
2019. FAA Order 7400.11D is publicly available as listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this document. FAA Order 7400.11D lists Class A,
B, C, D, and E airspace areas, air traffic service routes, and
reporting points.

The Rule

    The FAA is amending Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR)
part 71 by modifying RNAV route Q-56. Specifically, this action re-
establishes Q-56 over the KBLER, GA, waypoint to resolve safety issues
resulting from the waypoint having been removed from the route
recently. Unanticipated safety issues identified subsequent to the
publication of the rule that removed the KBLER waypoint from Q-56 have
made this action necessary. The revised Q-56 RNAV route, overlying the
KBLER waypoint, will reduce the unintended safety related issues of
increased ATC sectors workload and complexity, reduce the increased ATC
coordination and pilot-to-controller communications requirements, and
safely restore the high altitude enroute structure supporting previous
air traffic flows and capacity efficiencies in the Atlanta, GA, and
Charlotte, NC, Metroplex areas. Because the issues described above
require prompt resolution, notice and public procedures under 5 U.S.C.
553(b) are unnecessary.
    The RNAV route modification accomplished by this action is outlined
below.
    Q-56: Q-56 extends between the San Antonio, TX, VHF Omnidirectional
Range/Tactical Air Navigation (VORTAC) navigation aid and the KIWII,
VA, waypoint (WP). The KBLER, GA, WP is added between the CATLN, AL,
fix and the KELLN, SC, WP. The unaffected portions of the existing
route remain as charted.

Regulatory Notices and Analyses

    The FAA has determined that this regulation only involves an
established body of technical regulations for which frequent and
routine amendments are necessary to keep them operationally current.
It, therefore: (1) Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under
Executive Order 12866; (2) is not a ``significant rule'' under
Department of Transportation (DOT) Regulatory Policies and Procedures
(44 FR 11034; February 26, 1979); and (3) does not warrant preparation
of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal.
Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures
and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated,
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.

Environmental Review

    The FAA has determined that this action of modifying RNAV route Q-
56 near Atlanta, GA, qualifies for categorical exclusion under the
National Environmental Policy Act and its implementing regulations at
40 CFR part 1500, and in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F,
Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures, Paragraph 5-6.5a, which
categorically excludes from further environmental impact review
rulemaking actions that designate or modify classes of airspace areas,
airways, routes, and reporting points (see 14 CFR part 71, Designation
of Class A, B, C, D, and E Airspace Areas; Air Traffic Service Routes;
and Reporting Points). As such, this action is not expected to result
in any potentially significant environmental impacts. In accordance
with FAA Order 1050.1F, paragraph 5-2 regarding Extraordinary
Circumstances, the FAA has reviewed this action for factors and
circumstances in which a normally categorically excluded action may
have a significant environmental impact requiring further analysis. The
FAA has determined no extraordinary circumstances exist that warrant
preparation of an environmental assessment or environmental impact
study.
