ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R02-OAR-2023-0175; FRL-11053-02-R2]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York;
Emission Statement Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the New York State Department of
Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) for purposes of enhancing an
existing emission statement program for stationary sources in New York
State. The SIP revision consists of amendments to regulations in New
York's Codes, Rules and Regulations (NYCRR) applicable to the emission
statements. These provisions establish electronic reporting
requirements for annual emission statements filed by facilities subject
to Title V operating permits of the Act beginning in 2022 (for calendar
year 2021 emission reporting). The Emission Statement rule also
improves the EPA's and the public access to facility-specific emission
related data. This action is being taken in accordance with the
requirements of the Clean Air Act (Act or CAA).

DATES: This final rule is effective on January 29, 2024.

I. Background

    On October 4, 2023 (88 FR 68529), the EPA published a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking that proposed to approve a State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the NYSDEC on March 21, 2022, for
purposes of enhancing an existing Emission Statement program for
stationary sources in New York, with a state effective date of December
18, 2020.
    The SIP revision was submitted by NYSDEC to satisfy the ozone
nonattainment provision of the Act and allows NYSDEC to more
effectively plan for and attain the national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS). The purpose of 6 NYCRR Subpart 202-2, ``Emission
Statements,'' is to establish the requirements for annual emission
statements filed by facilities subject to Title V operating permits
under the Act. These requirements are set forth in EPA's Air Emission
Report Requirements rule (AERR). See 40 CFR 51 Subpart A. The SIP
revision establishes electronic reporting requirements for annual
emission statements filed by facilities subject to Title V operating
permits of the Act beginning in 2022 (for calendar year 2021 emission
reporting).
    The specific details of NYSDEC's SIP submittal and the rationale
for the EPA's approval action are explained in the EPA's proposed
rulemaking and are not restated in this final action. For this detailed
information, the reader is referred to the EPA's October 4, 2023,
proposed rulemaking. See 88 FR 68529.

II. Public Comments and EPA Responses

    In response to the EPA's October 4, 2023, proposed rulemaking on
NYSDEC's SIP revision, the EPA received three supportive comments
during the 30-day public comment period. The specific comments may be
viewed under Docket ID Number EPA-R02-OAR-2023-0175 on the https://regulations.gov website.

Comment 1

    One commenter indicated that by enacting policies such as this, the
NYSDEC can better regulate the major sources of air pollution and
therefore move us toward achieving the NAAQS. Implementing an
electronic submission system for major polluters will impose more
responsibility on them to meet these emission requirements, especially
if these companies are fined for not doing so. Additionally, the
commenter suggested that this annual record be made available to the
public.

Response 1

    The EPA acknowledges the commenter's support of the EPA's proposed
rule. Title 6 NYCRR, Chapter III, Part 202, Subpart 202-2.4(j)
indicates that the facilities may be subject to enforcement actions,
including monetary fines for incomplete and inaccurate emission
statements. The commenter can review it at the EPA Docket ID number
EPA-R02-OAR-2023-0175. The EPA also recognizes the commenter's request
for the EPA to make the records publicly available. The public can
access the annual emission records on NYSDEC's website www.dec.ny.gov/chemical/125566.html#point.

Comment 2 & 3

    Two additional public comments were received, which were supportive
of the EPA's proposed approval of NYSDEC's SIP revisions. The
commenters indicated that the revisions to the SIP improve air quality.

Response 2 & 3

    The EPA acknowledges the commenters' support of the EPA's proposed
rule.

III. Final Action

    The EPA is approving a SIP revision submitted by NYSDEC on March
21, 2022, for purposes of enhancing an existing Emission Statement
program for stationary sources in New York. The SIP revision consists
of amendments to Title 6 NYCRR, Chapter III, part 202, subpart 202-2,
``Emission Statements,'' with a state effective date of December 18,
2020.
    Based on the EPA's review, the Emission Statement rule contains the
necessary applicability, compliance, enforcement, and reporting
requirements for an approvable emission statement program.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, 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 the
6 NYCRR Part 202, Subpart 202-2,

``Emission Statements,'' regulation described in the amendments to 40
CFR part 52 as discussed in Section I. of this preamble. The EPA has
made, and will continue to make, these materials generally available
through www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region 2 Office (please
contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this preamble for more information). Therefore, these
materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion in the State
Implementation Plan, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA
into that plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and
113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the
EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.\1\

    \1\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act.
    In addition, 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. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have Tribal implications and it will
not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt
Tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November
9, 2000).
    Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions to Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on minority populations and low-income
populations to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines environmental justice (EJ) as ``the fair treatment and
meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color,
national origin, or income with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.'' EPA further defines the term fair treatment to mean that
``no group of people should bear a disproportionate burden of
environmental harms and risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and policies.''
    The NYSDEC did not evaluate environmental justice considerations as
part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable implementing
regulations neither prohibit nor require such an evaluation. The EPA
did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in this action.
Consideration of EJ is not required as part of this action, and there
is no information in the record inconsistent with the Stated goal of
E.O. 12898 of achieving environmental justice for people of color, low-
income populations, and Indigenous peoples.
    This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and the EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
    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 February 26, 2024. 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)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Executive Summary

A. What action is the Agency taking?

    This document provides the receipt and status reports for the
period from 11/01/2022 to 11/30/2022. The Agency is providing notice of
receipt of PMNs, SNUNs, and MCANs (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (Biotech
exemption); TMEs, both pending and/or concluded; NOCs to manufacture a
new chemical substance; and a periodic status report on new chemical
substances that are currently under EPA review or have recently
concluded review.
    EPA is also providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

B. What is the Agency's authority for taking this action?

    Under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), 15 U.S.C. 2601 et
seq., a chemical substance may be either an ``existing'' chemical
substance or a ``new'' chemical substance. Any chemical substance that
is not on EPA's TSCA Inventory of Chemical Substances (TSCA Inventory)
is classified as a ``new chemical substance,'' while a chemical
substance that is listed on the TSCA Inventory is classified as an
``existing chemical substance.'' (See TSCA section 3(11).) For more
information about the TSCA Inventory please go to: https://www.epa.gov/tsca-inventory.
    Any person who intends to manufacture (including import) a new
chemical substance for a non-exempt commercial purpose, or to
manufacture or process a chemical substance in a non-exempt manner for
a use that EPA has determined is a significant new use, is required by
TSCA section 5 to provide EPA with a PMN, MCAN, or SNUN, as
appropriate, before initiating the activity. EPA will review the
notice, make a risk determination on the chemical substance or
significant new use, and take appropriate action as described in TSCA
section 5(a)(3).
    TSCA section 5(h)(1) authorizes EPA to allow persons, upon
application and under appropriate restrictions, to manufacture or
process a new chemical substance, or a chemical substance subject to a
significant new use rule (SNUR) issued under TSCA section 5(a)(2), for
``test marketing'' purposes, upon a showing that the manufacture,
processing, distribution in commerce, use, and disposal of the chemical
will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the
environment. This is referred to as a test marketing exemption, or TME.
For more information about the requirements applicable to a new
chemical go to: https://www.epa.gov/chemicals-under-tsca.
    Under TSCA sections 5 and 8 and EPA regulations, EPA is required to
publish in the Federal Register certain information, including notice
of receipt of a PMN/SNUN/MCAN (including amended notices and test
information); an exemption application under 40 CFR part 725 (biotech
exemption); an application for a TME, both pending and concluded; NOCs
to manufacture a new chemical substance; and a periodic status report
on the new chemical substances that are currently under EPA review or
have recently concluded review.

C. Does this action apply to me?

    This action provides information that is directed to the public in
general.

D. Does this action have any incremental economic impacts or paperwork
burdens?

    No.

E. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting confidential business information (CBI). Do not
submit this information to EPA through regulations.gov or email.
Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be
CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark
the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as CBI and then identify
electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the specific information that
is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment
that includes information claimed as CBI, a

copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as
CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information
so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures
set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for preparing your comments. When preparing and submitting
your comments, see the commenting tips at https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. Status Reports

    In the past, EPA has published individual notices reflecting the
status of TSCA section 5 filings received, pending or concluded. In
1995, the Agency modified its approach and streamlined the information
published in the Federal Register after providing notice of such
changes to the public and an opportunity to comment (see the Federal
Register of May 12, 1995 (60 FR 25798) (FRL-4942-7). Since the passage
of the Lautenberg amendments to TSCA in 2016, public interest in
information on the status of section 5 cases under EPA review and, in
particular, the final determination of such cases, has increased. In an
effort to be responsive to the regulated community, the users of this
information, and the general public, to comply with the requirements of
TSCA, to conserve EPA resources and to streamline the process and make
it more timely, EPA is providing information on its website about cases
reviewed under the amended TSCA, including the section 5 PMN/SNUN/MCAN
and exemption notices received, the date of receipt, the final EPA
determination on the notice, and the effective date of EPA's
determination for PMN/SNUN/MCAN notices on its website at: https://www.epa.gov/reviewing-new-chemicals-under-toxic-substances-control-act-tsca/status-pre-manufacture-notices. This information is updated on a
weekly basis.

III. Receipt Reports

    For the PMN/SNUN/MCANs that have passed an initial screening by EPA
during this period, Table I provides the following information (to the
extent that such information is not subject to a CBI claim) on the
notices screened by EPA during this period: The EPA case number
assigned to the notice that indicates whether the submission is an
initial submission, or an amendment, a notation of which version was
received, the date the notice was received by EPA, the submitting
manufacturer (i.e., domestic producer or importer), the potential uses
identified by the manufacturer in the notice, and the chemical
substance identity.
    As used in each of the tables in this unit, (S) indicates that the
information in the table is the specific information provided by the
submitter, and (G) indicates that this information in the table is
generic information because the specific information provided by the
submitter was claimed as CBI. Submissions which are initial submissions
will not have a letter following the case number. Submissions which are
amendments to previous submissions will have a case number followed by
the letter ``A'' (e.g. P-18-1234A). The version column designates
submissions in sequence as ``1'', ``2'', ``3'', etc. Note that in some
cases, an initial submission is not numbered as version 1; this is
because earlier version(s) were rejected as incomplete or invalid
submissions. Note also that future version of the following tables may
adjust slightly as the Agency works to automate population of the data
in the tables.

    Note 2:  OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Moreover, OSHA already
includes the proposed replacement test standard in the NRTL's scope
of recognition. Therefore, no further demonstration of capability is
necessary at this time.

    Note 3:  OSHA believes the proposed replacement test standard is
comparable to the withdrawn test standard. Therefore, OSHA proposes
to incorporate the replacement test standard into the NRTLs' scopes
of recognition without requiring the NRTL to further demonstrate
capability, as specified by 29 CFR 1910.7(b)(1).
