40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R01-OAR-2015-0198; FRL-9940-14-Region 1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Connecticut; 
Infrastructure Requirements for Lead, Ozone, Nitrogen Dioxide, Sulfur 
Dioxide, and Fine Particulate Matter

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving 
elements of State Implementation Plan (SIP) submissions from 
Connecticut regarding the infrastructure requirements of the Clean Air 
Act (CAA or Act) for the 2008 lead, 2008 ozone, 2010 nitrogen dioxide, 
and 2010 sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). 
EPA is also converting conditional approvals for several infrastructure 
requirements for the 1997 ozone NAAQS and for the 1997 and 2006 fine 
particle (PM2.5) NAAQS to full approval under the CAA. 
Furthermore, we are conditionally approving elements of Connecticut's 
infrastructure requirements of the CAA regarding prevention of 
significant deterioration requirements to treat nitrogen oxides as a 
precursor to ozone and to establish a minor source baseline date for 
PM2.5 emissions. Lastly, EPA is approving three statutes 
submitted by Connecticut in support of its demonstration that the 
infrastructure requirements of the CAA have been met. The 
infrastructure requirements are designed to ensure that the structural 
components of each state's air quality management program are adequate 
to meet the state's responsibilities under the CAA.

DATES: This rule is effective on July 5, 2016.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket 
Identification No. EPA-R01-OAR-2015-0198. All documents in the docket

I. Background and Purpose
II. Final Action
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. Background and Purpose

    This rulemaking addresses submissions from the Connecticut 
Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (CT DEEP). The state 
submitted its infrastructure SIP for each NAAQS on the following dates: 
2008 Pb--October 13, 2011; 2008 ozone--December 28, 2012; 2010 
NO2--January 2, 2013; and 2010 SO2--May 30, 2013. 
This rulemaking also addresses certain infrastructure SIP elements for 
the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS for which EPA previously 
issued a conditional approval. See 77 FR 63228 (October 16, 2012). The 
state submitted these infrastructure SIPs on September 4, 2008, and 
September 18, 2009, respectively. Lastly, this rulemaking addresses one 
infrastructure SIP element for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for which 
EPA previously issued a conditional approval. See 76 FR 40248 (July 8, 
2011). The state submitted this infrastructure SIP on December 28, 
2007.
    EPA did not receive any comments, adverse or otherwise, in response 
to the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR). See 80 FR 54471 (September 
10, 2015).

II. Final Action

    EPA is approving SIP submissions from Connecticut certifying that 
the state's current SIP is sufficient to meet the required 
infrastructure elements under sections 110(a)(1) and 110(a)(2) for the 
2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, 2010 NO2, and 2010 SO2 
NAAQS, with the exception of certain aspects relating to PSD which we 
are conditionally approving. A summary of EPA's actions regarding these 
infrastructure SIP requirements is contained in Table 1 below.

[[Page 35638]]

    With respect to the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA is 
approving Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittal requirements 
pertaining to Elements 110(a)(2)A, D(ii) (interstate pollution 
abatement), and E(ii) (state boards) for which a conditional approval 
was previously issued. See 77 FR 63228, October 16, 2012. Also with 
respect to the 1997 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, EPA is newly 
conditionally approving Connecticut's submittals pertaining to Elements 
110(a)(2)C(ii), D(i)(II), and J(iii) for the requirements to treat 
NOX as a precursor to ozone and to establish a minor source 
baseline date for PM2.5 in the PSD program.
    With respect to the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, EPA is approving 
Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittal requirements pertaining to 
Element 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) (interstate pollution abatement) for which a 
conditional approval was previously issued. See 77 FR 63228, October 
16, 2012.
    In addition, we are incorporating into the Connecticut SIP the 
following Connecticut statutes which were included for approval in 
Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittals:

Connecticut General Statutes (CGS) Section 1-85 (Formerly Sec. 1-68) 
``Interest in conflict with discharge of duties,'' as published in the 
General Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2015; amended in 
Public Act 89-97 in January 1989, effective October 1, 1989;
CGS Section 22a-171 (Formerly Sec. 19-507) ``Duties of Commissioner of 
Energy and Environmental Protection,'' as published in the General 
Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2013; amended in Public 
Act 84-546 in 1984, effective October 1, 1984;
CGS Section 16a-21a ``Sulfur content of home heating oil and off-road 
diesel fuel. Suspension of requirements for emergency,'' as published 
in the General Statutes of Connecticut revised to January 1, 2013, 
effective July 1, 2011.

    As noted in Table 1, EPA is conditionally approving Connecticut's 
commitment for sub-element sections 110(a)(2)(C)(ii), (D)(i)(II) and 
(J)(iii) with respect to the 2008 Pb, 2008 ozone, 2010 NO2, 
and 2010 SO2 NAAQS, as well as newly conditionally approving 
the state's submittals for these sub-elements with respect to the 1997 
and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS. In a letter dated August 5, 2015, 
Connecticut committed to adopt and submit to EPA, one year from the 
publication of this conditional approval, regulatory revisions to 
Connecticut's prevention of significant deterioration and new source 
review permitting requirements that meet the requirements to treat 
NOX as a precursor pollutant to ozone and to establish a 
minor source baseline date for PM2.5.
    Under section 110(k)(4) of the Act, EPA may conditionally approve a 
plan based on a commitment from the State to adopt specific enforceable 
measures by a date certain, but not later than one year from the date 
of approval. By this date, the State must meet its commitment made in 
its August 5, 2015 letter to submit revisions to its PSD program that 
fully meet the requirements above. If the State fails to do so, this 
action will become a disapproval one year from the date of publication 
of final approval. EPA will notify the State by letter that this action 
has occurred. At that time, this commitment will no longer be a part of 
the approved Connecticut SIP. EPA subsequently will publish a document 
in the Federal Register notifying the public that the conditional 
approval is converted to a disapproval. If the State meets its 
commitment within the applicable time frame, the conditionally approved 
submission will remain a part of the SIP until EPA takes final action 
approving or disapproving the new submittal. If EPA disapproves the new 
submittal, the conditionally approved portions of Connecticut's 
Infrastructure SIP submittals will also be disapproved at that time. If 
EPA approves the revised PSD program submittal, then the portions of 
Connecticut's infrastructure SIP submittals that were conditionally 
approved will be fully approved in their entirety. In addition, final 
disapproval of an infrastructure SIP submittal triggers the Federal 
implementation plan (FIP) requirement under section 110(c).
    Other specific requirements of infrastructure SIPs and the 
rationale for EPA's final action on Connecticut's submittals are 
explained in the NPR and will not be restated here.

III. 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 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based 
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the 
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent 
with the Clean Air Act; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to 
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental 
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian 
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has 
demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 
country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose 
substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as 
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
    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

[[Page 35639]]

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).
    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 August 2, 2016. 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).)

     Note 2 to paragraph (h): EPA has replaced the original 
structure of the CT statute with the structure of the CFR and uses 
``paragraph'' instead of the original statutory language of 
``subsection'' and ``subdivision.'' EPA has also replaced the (a)-
level of the original statute with the (1)-level in the CFR and the 
(1)-level in the original statute with the (i)-level in the CFR.
