SUPPLEMENTARY
INFORMATION:

I.
Background
On
October
26,
2005
(
70
FR
61750),
EPA
published
a
notice
of
proposed
rulemaking
(
NPR)
for
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania.
The
NPR
proposed
approval
of
formal
SIP
revisions
submitted
by
Pennsylvania
on
August
15,
2003.
These
SIP
revisions
consist
of
source­
specific
operating
permits
and/
or
plan
approvals
issued
by
PADEP
to
establish
and
require
RACT
pursuant
to
the
Commonwealth's
SIP­
approved
generic
RACT
regulations.
The
following
table
identifies
the
sources
and
the
individual
plan
approvals
(
PAs)
and
operating
permits
(
OPs)
which
are
the
subject
of
this
rulemaking.

An
explanation
of
the
CAA's
RACT
requirements
as
they
apply
to
the
Commonwealth
and
EPA's
rationale
for
approving
these
SIP
revisions
were
provided
in
the
NPR
and
will
not
be
restated
here.

No
public
comments
were
received
on
the
NPR.

III.
Final
Action
EPA
is
approving
the
revisions
to
the
Pennsylvania
SIP
submitted
by
PADEP
on
August
15,
2003
to
establish
and
require
VOC
and
NOx
RACT
for
two
sources
pursuant
to
the
Commonwealth's
SIPapproved
generic
RACT
regulations.

IV.
Statutory
and
Executive
Order
Reviews
A.
General
Requirements
Under
Executive
Order
12866
(
58
FR
51735,
October
4,
1993),
this
action
is
not
a
"
significant
regulatory
action"
and
therefore
is
not
subject
to
review
by
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget.

For
this
reason,
this
action
is
also
not
subject
to
Executive
Order
13211,
"
Actions
Concerning
4
Regulations
That
Significantly
Affect
Energy
Supply,
Distribution,
or
Use"
(
66
FR
28355,
May
22,

2001).
This
action
merely
approves
state
law
as
meeting
Federal
requirements
and
imposes
no
additional
requirements
beyond
those
imposed
by
state
law.
Accordingly,
the
Administrator
certifies
that
this
rule
will
not
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities
under
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act
(
5
U.
S.
C.
601
et
seq.).
Because
this
rule
approves
pre­
existing
requirements
under
state
law
and
does
not
impose
any
additional
enforceable
duty
beyond
that
required
by
state
law,
it
does
not
contain
any
unfunded
mandate
or
significantly
or
uniquely
affect
small
governments,
as
described
in
the
Unfunded
Mandates
Reform
Act
of
1995
(
Public
Law
104­
4).

This
rule
also
does
not
have
tribal
implications
because
it
will
not
have
a
substantial
direct
effect
on
one
or
more
Indian
tribes,
on
the
relationship
between
the
Federal
Government
and
Indian
tribes,
or
on
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
between
the
Federal
Government
and
Indian
tribes,

as
specified
by
Executive
Order
13175
(
65
FR
67249,
November
9,
2000).
This
action
also
does
not
have
Federalism
implications
because
it
does
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
(
64
FR
43255,
August
10,
1999).
This
action
merely
approves
a
state
rule
implementing
a
Federal
standard,
and
does
not
alter
the
relationship
or
the
distribution
of
power
and
responsibilities
established
in
the
Clean
Air
Act.
This
rule
also
is
not
subject
to
Executive
Order
13045
"
Protection
of
Children
from
Environmental
Health
Risks
and
Safety
Risks"
(
62
FR
19885,
April
23,
1997),

because
it
is
not
economically
significant.

In
reviewing
SIP
submissions,
EPA's
role
is
to
approve
state
choices,
provided
that
they
meet
the
5
criteria
of
the
Clean
Air
Act.
In
this
context,
in
the
absence
of
a
prior
existing
requirement
for
the
State
to
use
voluntary
consensus
standards
(
VCS),
EPA
has
no
authority
to
disapprove
a
SIP
submission
for
failure
to
use
VCS.
It
would
thus
be
inconsistent
with
applicable
law
for
EPA,
when
it
reviews
a
SIP
submission,
to
use
VCS
in
place
of
a
SIP
submission
that
otherwise
satisfies
the
provisions
of
the
Clean
Air
Act.
Thus,
the
requirements
of
section
12(
d)
of
the
National
Technology
Transfer
and
Advancement
Act
of
1995
(
15
U.
S.
C.
272
note)
do
not
apply.
This
rule
does
not
impose
an
information
collection
burden
under
the
provisions
of
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
of
1995
(
44
U.
S.
C.
3501
et
seq.).

B.
Submission
to
Congress
and
the
Comptroller
General
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
exempts
from
section
801
the
following
types
of
rules:
(
1)
rules
of
particular
applicability;
(
2)
rules
relating
to
agency
management
or
personnel;
and
(
3)
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).
EPA
is
not
required
to
submit
a
rule
report
regarding
today's
action
under
section
801
because
this
is
a
rule
of
particular
applicability
establishing
source­
specific
requirements
for
two
named
sources.

C.
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
[
insert
date
60
days
from
date
of
publication
of
this
document
in
the
Federal
Register].
Filing
a
petition
for
reconsideration
by
the
6
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
approving
source­
specific
RACT
requirements
for
two
sources
in
the
Commonwealth
of
Pennsylvania
may
not
be
challenged
later
in
proceedings
to
enforce
its
requirements.

307(
