[EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0469; FRL-9912-67-Region 9]


Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan; State 
Stationary Source Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 56656]]


ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking direct 
final action to approve revisions to the Arizona State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). These revisions include two State statutes and certain 
State rules that govern stationary sources under the jurisdiction of 
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality and that establish 
definitions and other general provisions; ambient air quality standards 
and area designations; and emissions limitations and other requirements 
for certain types of stationary sources. Generally, approval of these 
revisions updates and replaces previously approved provisions in the 
Arizona SIP, but the EPA is also approving a few rules that are new to 
the Arizona SIP and a few rescissions that remove certain other rules 
from the Arizona SIP without replacement. The EPA is approving these 
revisions because they meet all applicable requirements of the Clean 
Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on November 24, 2014 without further 
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by October 23, 2014. If we 
receive such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the 
Federal Register to notify the public that this direct final rule will 
not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPA-R09-OAR-
2014-0469, by one of the following methods:
    1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow the on-
line instructions.
    2. Email: steckel.andrew@epa.gov.
    3. Mail or Deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 
94105-3901.
    Instructions: All comments will be included in the public docket 
without change and may be made available online at www.regulations.gov, 
including any personal information provided, unless the comment 
includes Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Information that you 
consider CBI or otherwise protected should be clearly identified as 
such and should not be submitted through www.regulations.gov or email. 
www.regulations.gov is an ``anonymous access'' system, and EPA will not 
know your identity or contact information unless you provide it in the 
body of your comment. If you send email directly to EPA, your email 
address will be automatically captured and included as part of the 
public comment. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical 
difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be 
able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of 
special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects 
or viruses.
    Docket: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are 
available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy at EPA 
Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105-3901. 
While all documents in the docket are listed at www.regulations.gov, 
some information may be publicly available only at the hard copy

I. The State's Submittal

A. What statutes and rules did the State submit?

    On July 15, 1998, July 28, 2011, and October 29, 2012, the Arizona 
Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) submitted revisions to the 
Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). ADEQ supplemented the 1998 and 
2011 submittals on May 16, 2014, and supplemented the 2012 submittal on 
September 6, 2013.
    These revisions include certain statutes and rules regulating 
stationary sources under ADEQ's jurisdiction. Under section 110(k)(3) 
of the Clean Air Act (CAA or ``Act''), EPA is obligated to approve, 
disapprove, or conditionally approve SIPs and SIP revisions. Table 1 
lists the statutes and rules that we are approving in today's action 
with the corresponding effective dates and submittal dates.

B. Are there previous versions of the statutes and rules in the Arizona 
SIP?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The EPA will be taking action on ARS section 49-426(F) in a 
separate rulemaking action that will relate to Arizona's amended New 
Source Review program. ADEQ does not intend the other paragraphs 
that are listed (i.e., D, E.1, I, J, and M) to be part of the 
Arizona SIP.
    \2\ The EPA will be taking action on the following six 
definitions in R18-2-101 in a separate rulemaking action that will 
relate to Arizona's amended New Source Review program: ``actual 
emissions,'' ``begin actual construction,'' ``construction,'' ``net 
emissions increase,'' ``potential to emit,'' and ``regulated NSR 
pollutant.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Most of the submitted statutes and rules will supersede or replace 
previously-approved versions in the Arizona SIP. See table 2 below for 
the statutes or rules that are superseded by approval of the statutes 
and rules covered in this action, and the dates on which the previous 
versions were approved by EPA. Table 2 also lists the existing SIP 
rules that are being deleted from the SIP without replacement along 
with the dates that they were approved by EPA. The following rules are 
new to the SIP: R18-2-102 (``Incorporated Materials''), R18-2-210 
(``Attainment, Nonattainment, and Unclassifiable Area Designations''), 
and Appendix 2 (``Test Methods and Protocols'').

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

C. What is the purpose of the submitted statutes and rules?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ The EPA will be taking action on the following six 
definitions in R18-2-101 in a separate rulemaking action that will 
relate to Arizona's amended New Source Review program: ``actual 
emissions,'' ``begin actual construction,'' ``construction,'' ``net 
emissions increase,'' ``potential to emit,'' and ``regulated NSR 
pollutant.''
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ADEQ submitted the statutes and rules to update the Arizona SIP and 
to delete rules that have been repealed or are otherwise unnecessary to 
retain in the SIP because the sources to which the requirements had 
applied no longer exist. The requirements set forth in the submitted 
statutes and rules include the types of requirements that are needed to 
comply with CAA section 110(a). EPA's technical support document (TSD) 
has more information about these statutes and rules.

II. EPA's Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating the submitted provisions?

    Generally, SIP requirements must be enforceable (see section 110(a) 
of the Act) and must not modify the SIP inconsistent with sections 
110(l) and 193.

B. Do the submitted provisions meet all applicable requirements?

    The statutes and rule revisions approved herein generally renumber 
and otherwise update statutes and rules that we approved previously in 
the Arizona SIP. The updated statutes and rules approved herein do not 
relax any existing emissions limits or standards and meet all 
applicable requirements. Our approval of them is consistent with the 
relevant policy and guidance regarding enforceability and SIP 
relaxations. The TSD has more information on our evaluation.

C. Public Comment and Final Action

    As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is approving 
the submitted statutes and rule revisions listed in table 1 because we 
believe they meet all relevant CAA requirements. We do not think anyone 
will object to this approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing 
it in advance. However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal 
Register, we are simultaneously proposing approval of the same 
submitted revisions. If we receive adverse comments by October 23, 
2014, we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to 
notify the public that the direct final approval will not take effect 
and we will address the comments in a subsequent final action based on 
the proposal. If we do not receive timely adverse comments, the direct 
final approval will be effective without further notice on November 24, 
2014. This will incorporate these statutes and rule revisions into the 
federally enforceable SIP.

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 statutes and rule 
revisions 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 Order 
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 disproportionate human health or environmental effects with 
practical, appropriate, and legally permissible methods under Executive 
Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).

In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified 
by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because the 
SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in the State, 
and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on 
tribal governments or preempt tribal law.

    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 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 November 24, 2014. 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)).
