40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R01-OAR-2016-0648; A-1-FRL-9958-37-Region 1]


Air Plan Approval; CT; Approval of Single Source Orders

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the State of 
Connecticut. The revisions establish reasonably available control 
technology (RACT) for two facilities that emit volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) in the state. Additionally, we are also approving 
Connecticut's request to withdraw seven previously-approved single 
source orders from the SIP. This action is being taken in accordance 
with the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective June 30, 2017, unless 
EPA receives adverse comments by May 31, 2017. If adverse comments are 
received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule 
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not 
take effect.

I. Background and Purpose

    The Clean Air Act (CAA) requires states in the Ozone Transport 
Region (OTR), as well as moderate and above ozone nonattainment areas, 
to implement RACT for major sources of volatile organic compounds. 
Connecticut is in the OTR and the state is currently designated 
nonattainment and classified as moderate for the 2008 ozone standard. 
See 40 CFR 81.307.
    The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection 
(CT DEEP) submitted to EPA two single source orders establishing RACT 
for sources of VOCs for incorporation into the Connecticut State 
Implementation Plan (SIP), and also submitted requests to withdraw from 
the SIP seven previously-approved orders. The two orders submitted for 
approval are Consent Order 8001, issued to Mallace Industries, located 
in Clinton, Connecticut, submitted to EPA on January 13, 2006, and 
Consent Order 8029, issued to Hamilton Sundstrand, located in Windsor 
Locks, Connecticut, submitted to EPA on November 15, 2011. The seven 
withdrawal requests are for the following previously-approved Consent 
Orders: Order 8021 issued to Pfizer Global Manufacturing; Order 8032 
issued to Heminway and Bartlett Company (which was subsequently renamed 
Coats North America); Order 8009 issued to Uniroyal Chemical Company; 
Order 8200 issued to Watson Laboratories; Order 8014 issued to Pratt & 
Whitney Aircraft; Order 8011 issued to the Dow Chemical Company; and 
Order 8010 issued to Sikorsky Aircraft.
    A description of these submittals and our evaluation of them 
appears below in Section II of this document.

II. Description and Evaluation of VOC RACT Order Submittals

1. Order for Mallace Industries

    Consent Order 8001 was issued to Frismar, Incorporated, located in 
Clinton, Connecticut, on October 19, 1987, pursuant to section 22a-174-
20(cc) of the Regulations of Connecticut

[[Page 20263]]

State Agencies (RCSA),\1\ which at the time was the state's alternative 
emission reduction mechanism for sources that could not otherwise meet 
prescribed RACT measures. Connecticut submitted the order to EPA as a 
SIP revision request, and EPA approved the order on November 28, 1989. 
See 54 FR 48885. Subsequently, ownership of the facility changed to 
Mallace Industries, and on September 13, 2005, Connecticut issued 
Consent Order 8258 to Mallace to maintain the appropriate, enforceable 
operating conditions contained within Order 8001, and to reflect the 
new ownership and current operating conditions. Consent Order 8258 
contains a lower annual cap for one of the two paper coating machines 
at the facility, lowering its annual emissions cap from 34.0 tons to 
15.9 tons. With this restriction, the source's total emissions will be 
below the 50 tons per year major source RACT applicability threshold. 
The order contains daily, monthly, and annual recordkeeping 
requirements, and the facility is required to submit a report to the 
state annually that includes a summary of the monthly VOC emissions for 
the facility. Connecticut held a public hearing on Consent Order 8258 
on January 6, 2006, and by letter dated January 13, 2006, submitted the 
order to EPA as a SIP revision request. Since Consent Order 8258 has a 
lower cap on emissions than the previously SIP-approved order for this 
facility, the anti-back sliding requirements of Section 110(l) of the 
CAA have been met. Therefore, we are approving the order into the 
Connecticut SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ This regulation has been approved into the Connecticut SIP. 
See 47 FR 24452; June 7, 1982.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Order for Hamilton Sundstrand

    Consent Order 8029 was issued to Hamilton Standard, located in 
Windsor Locks, Connecticut, on December 22, 1989, pursuant to RCSA 
section 22a-174-20(ee).\2\ Connecticut submitted the order to EPA as a 
SIP revision request, which EPA approved on March 12, 1990. See 55 FR 
9121. Subsequently, the facility determined that potential VOC 
emissions from test rigs were also subject to VOC RACT. Since the 
original order did not cover this equipment, Connecticut issued an 
amended order, Consent Order 8029A, to supersede the original order. 
Consent Order 8029A maintains the appropriate, enforceable operating 
conditions contained within Order 8029, and contains additional VOC 
limits for calibration fluids used in the facility's test rigs. 
Connecticut held a public hearing on Consent Order 8029A on August 24, 
2011, and by letter dated November 15, 2011, submitted the order to EPA 
as a SIP revision request. Since the order contains additional emission 
reduction requirements beyond the previously SIP-approved order for 
this facility, the anti-back sliding requirements of Section 110(l) of 
the CAA have been met. Therefore, we are approving the order into the 
Connecticut SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ This regulation has been approved into the Connecticut SIP. 
See 49 FR 41026; October 19, 1984.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, the CAA section 193 General Savings Clause applies to 
the above two orders since they were approved into the Connecticut SIP 
prior to the CAA amendments of 1990. Section 193 of the CAA prohibits 
any control measure in effect in a nonattainment area prior to the 
enactment of the CAA Amendments of 1990 to be modified after enactment, 
unless such modification yields equivalent or greater emission 
reductions. Our review of the updated orders issued to Mallace 
Industries and Hamilton Sundstrand indicates that they meet this 
requirement.

III. Description and Evaluation of VOC RACT Order Withdrawal Requests

1. Withdrawal Request for Pfizer Global Manufacturing

    In 1988, Connecticut issued Consent Order 8021 to Pfizer 
Incorporated, located in Groton, Connecticut, to establish VOC RACT 
requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-174-20(ee). The state 
submitted this order to EPA as a SIP revision request, and EPA approved 
it into the Connecticut SIP on November 30, 1989. See 54 FR 49284. 
During an inspection conducted on September 3, 2002, Connecticut 
confirmed that the manufacturing operations covered by Order 8021 had 
been permanently discontinued. Furthermore, within an April 23, 2003 
letter to Connecticut, Pfizer notified the agency that it no longer 
intended to manufacture any of the products subject to Order 8021, 
making the order obsolete. By letter dated July 1, 2004, Connecticut 
requested that Order 8021 be withdrawn from the SIP. The state held a 
public hearing on this SIP withdrawal request on January 15, 2004, and 
we are approving the request and removing the order from the 
Connecticut SIP. For facilities such as this, as well as those 
described in sections III.2, III.3, and III.4 below, where operations 
have been permanently discontinued (i.e., equipment has been removed) 
and this fact has been confirmed by inspection, the CAA section 110(l) 
anti-back sliding requirements and the CAA section 193 General Savings 
Clause requirements have been met as there are no longer any emissions 
from these operations.

2. Withdrawal Request for Coats North America

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8032 to the Heminway and Bartlett 
Company, located in Watertown, Connecticut, in 1989. The order was 
issued to establish VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-
174-20(ee), and an amended order was issued to update the ownership and 
operating conditions at the facility in 2004. Subsequent to the 
issuance of the amended order, the facility shut down, which 
Connecticut confirmed by an inspection conducted on May 13, 2005. 
Accordingly, Connecticut submitted a SIP revision request on January 
13, 2006, asking that the order, which EPA approved into the 
Connecticut SIP on March 12, 1990 (see 55 FR 9442), be removed from the 
Connecticut SIP. The state held a public hearing on this SIP withdrawal 
request on January 6, 2006, and we are approving the request and 
removing the order from the Connecticut SIP.

3. Withdrawal Request for Uniroyal Chemical Company

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8009 to the Uniroyal Chemical 
Company, located in Naugatuck, Connecticut, in 1989. The order was 
issued to establish VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-
174-20(ee). Connecticut submitted Order 8009 to EPA as a SIP revision 
request, which EPA approved on December 22, 1989. See 54 FR 52798. 
Subsequent to the issuance of the order, the facility shut down, which 
Connecticut confirmed by an inspection conducted on August 26, 2004. 
Accordingly, Connecticut submitted a SIP revision request on January 
13, 2006, asking that the order be removed from the Connecticut SIP. 
The state held a public hearing on this SIP withdrawal request on 
January 6, 2006, and we are approving the request and removing the 
order from the Connecticut SIP.

4. Withdrawal Request for Watson Laboratories

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8200 to Watson Laboratories, 
located in Danbury, Connecticut, in 2002. The order was issued to 
establish VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-174-
32(e)(6).\3\ Connecticut

[[Page 20264]]

submitted Order 8200 to EPA as a SIP revision request, and EPA approved 
the Order on October 24, 2005. See 70 FR 61384. Subsequent to the 
issuance of the order, the facility shut down, which Connecticut 
confirmed by an inspection conducted on September 13, 2005. 
Accordingly, Connecticut submitted a SIP revision request on January 
13, 2006, asking that the order be removed from the Connecticut SIP. 
The state held a public hearing on this SIP withdrawal request on 
January 6, 2006, and we are approving the request and removing the 
order from the Connecticut SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This regulation has been approved into the Connecticut SIP. 
See 65 FR 62620; October 19, 2000.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. Withdrawal Request for Pratt & Whitney Aircraft

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8014 to Pratt & Whitney Aircraft 
located in East Hartford, Connecticut, in 1989. The order was issued to 
establish VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-174-
20(ee). Connecticut submitted the order to EPA as a SIP revision 
request, and EPA approved the Order on May 30, 1989. See 54 FR 22890. 
Subsequent to the issuance of the order, Connecticut adopted 
regulations limiting VOC emissions from the equipment and activity 
covered by Order 8014, and the facility ceased operation of most 
activity covered by the order. Specifically, the degreasers covered by 
Order 8014 have all been removed from the facility. Additionally, in 
2010, Connecticut adopted section 22a-174-20(ii) defining RACT for hand 
wiping operations. These requirements were approved by EPA on June 9, 
2014 (see 79 FR 32873) and are at least as stringent as those within 
Order 8014. Accordingly, Connecticut submitted a SIP revision request 
on July 15, 2016, asking that Order 8014 be removed from the 
Connecticut SIP. The state offered a notice of opportunity for public 
hearing on this SIP withdrawal request on March 18, 2016. Since the 
newer SIP-approved regulatory requirements are at least as stringent as 
the previously SIP-approved order, the CAA section 110(l) anti-back 
sliding requirements and the CAA section 193 General Savings Clause 
requirements have been met. Therefore, we are approving the state's 
request and removing the Order 8014 from the Connecticut SIP.

6. Withdrawal Request for Dow Chemical

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8011 to the Dow Chemical Company 
located in Gales Ferry, Connecticut, in 1988. The order was issued to 
establish VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-174-
20(ee). Connecticut submitted Order 8011 to EPA as a SIP revision 
request, and EPA approved the Order on March 8, 1989. See 54 FR 9781. 
Subsequent to the issuance of the order, Dow shut down portions of its 
manufacturing operation, and transferred other portions of its 
manufacturing operations to Trinseo, LLC, and Americas Styrenics, LLC. 
Connecticut confirmed by an inspection conducted on August 1, 2011, 
that portions of the manufacturing operations covered by Order 8011 had 
been dismantled. Additionally, a Connecticut ``Order Closure'' dated 
May 4, 2016, indicates that Dow no longer owns or operates equipment 
covered by Order 8011, and that the VOC emitting equipment remaining at 
the facility operated by the entities mentioned above are subject to 
similar regulatory limits which, in most cases, were transferred to the 
new owners. Accordingly, Connecticut submitted a SIP revision request 
on July 15, 2016, asking that the Order 8011 be removed from the 
Connecticut SIP. The state provided public notice and an opportunity to 
comment on its intent to revise the SIP. Since the VOC emitting 
equipment subject to the Order 8011 has either been removed from the 
facility or is covered by other regulatory requirements that are at 
least as stringent as that required by Order 8011, the CAA Section 
110(l) anti-back sliding requirements and the CAA section 193 General 
Savings Clause requirements have been met. Therefore, we are approving 
Connecticut's request, and removing the order from the Connecticut SIP.

7. Withdrawal Request for Sikorsky Aircraft

    Connecticut issued Consent Order 8010 to Sikorsky Aircraft located 
in Stratford, Connecticut, in 1988. The order was issued to establish 
VOC RACT requirements pursuant to RCSA section 22a-174-20(ee). 
Subsequently, in 1995, Connecticut added Addendum A to the order to set 
coating limits for the facility. Addendum B was also added to the 
order, providing emission reduction credits as a result of degreaser 
shutdowns. Connecticut submitted Order 8010 and both addenda to EPA as 
a SIP revision request, which EPA approved on February 9, 1998. See 63 
FR 6484.
    Subsequent to the issuance of the order and addenda, Connecticut 
issued Order 8246 to Sikorsky on October 31, 2003, to reflect updated 
operating conditions and regulations applicable to the facility. Order 
8246 required Sikorsky to limit VOC emissions to the emission limits 
specified within 22a-174-20(s), with the exception of the limits for 
the coating of the exterior surface of assembled aircraft, as the 
facility could not meet that limit. Therefore, Order 8246 provided a 
method of compliance for the facility's use of exterior aircraft 
coatings through the generation and use of VOC emission reduction 
credits to offset excess emissions.
    Subsequent to the issuance of Order 8246, Connecticut adopted 
amendments to 22a-174-20(s). EPA approved the amendments to RCSA 22a-
174-20(s) into the Connecticut SIP on June 9, 2014. See 79 FR 32873. 
The amendments incorporated VOC content limits for coatings from EPA's 
aerospace National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(NESHAP) (see 40 CFR part 63, subpart GG), and EPA's aerospace control 
techniques guideline (see EPA-453/R-97-004, December 1997). By letter 
dated January 30, 2014, Sikorsky documented that all coatings used at 
the facility meet the requirements of the amended version of 22a-174-
20(s). Since the facility demonstrated that it can meet the limits 
within 22a-174-20(s), compliance via the generation and use of VOC 
emission reduction credits is no longer necessary.
    On May 4, 2016, Connecticut closed out the order because it had 
become obsolete, primarily due to the state's adoption of amendments to 
RCSA 22a-174-20(s). Connecticut submitted a withdrawal request to EPA 
for Order 8010 on July 15, 2016, asking that it be removed from the 
Connecticut SIP. The state offered a notice of opportunity for public 
hearing on this SIP withdrawal request on March 18, 2016. Since the 
current SIP requirements are at least as stringent as those in Order 
8010, the CAA Section 110(l) anti-back sliding requirements and the CAA 
section 193 General Savings Clause requirements have been met. 
Therefore, we are approving Connecticut's request, and removing the 
order from the Connecticut SIP.
    In addition, although Connecticut had previously submitted Order 
8246 for Sikorsky to EPA as a SIP revision request, this request was 
later withdrawn by letter dated July 21, 2016, prior to EPA taking 
action on it.

IV. Final Action

    EPA is approving, and incorporating into the Connecticut SIP, 
single source orders that establish VOC RACT requirements for Mallace 
Industries and Hamilton Sundstrand. EPA is also removing from the 
Connecticut SIP previously approved orders for Pfizer Global 
Manufacturing, Coats North America, Uniroyal Chemical Company, Watson 
Laboratories, Pratt and Whitney

[[Page 20265]]

Aircraft, Dow Chemical, and Sikorsky Aircraft.
    The EPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates 
no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this 
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document 
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should 
relevant adverse comments be filed. This rule will be effective June 
30, 2017 without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant 
adverse comments by May 31, 2017.
    If the EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a notice 
withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the rule will 
not take effect. All public comments received will then be addressed in 
a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on the proposed rule. All parties 
interested in commenting on the proposed rule should do so at this 
time. If no such comments are received, the public is advised that this 
rule will be effective on June 30, 2017 and no further action will be 
taken on the proposed rule. Please note that if EPA receives adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 
as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rulemaking, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes 
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 
51.5, EPA is incorporating by reference VOC RACT orders for Mallace 
Industries and Hamilton Sunstrand, as previously discussed in section 
II in this rulemaking. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these 
materials generally available through http://www.regulations.gov and/or 
at the EPA Region 1 Office (please contact the person identified in the 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more 
information).

VI. 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. Section 804, however, exempts from section 801 the 
following types of rules: Rules of particular applicability; rules 
relating to agency management or personnel; and rules of agency 
organization, procedure, or practice that do not substantially affect 
the rights or obligations of non-agency parties. 5 U.S.C. 804(3). 
Because this is a rule of particular applicability, EPA is not required 
to submit a rule report regarding this action under section 801.
    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 June 30, 2017. 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. Parties with objections to this direct final 
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel 
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed 
rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an 
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so 
that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in 
the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in 
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
