Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 25363 

III. Final Actions 

EPA is determining that the Western 

Massachusetts one-hour ozone 

nonattainment area did not meet its 

applicable one-hour ozone attainment 

date of December 31, 2003, based on 

2001–2003 complete, quality-assured 

ozone monitoring data. Separate from 

and independent of this determination, 

EPA is also determining that the 

Western Massachusetts one-hour ozone 

nonattainment area is currently 

attaining the one-hour ozone standard, 

based on the most recent three years 

(2009–2011) of complete, qualityassured ozone monitoring data at all 

monitoring sites in the area. EPA’s 

review of the data shows that the area 

began attaining the one-hour ozone 

standard in the 2007–2009 period, and 

has continued to attain this standard 

through the 2008–2010 and 2009–2011 

monitoring periods. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

These actions make determinations of 

attainment based on air quality, result in 

the suspension of certain Federal 

requirements, and/or would not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. For that reason, 

these actions: 

• Are not ‘‘significant regulatory 

actions’’ subject to review by the Office 

of Management and Budget under 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• Do not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Are 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.); 

• Do 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); 

• Do not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Are not economically significant 

regulatory actions based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Are not significant regulatory 

actions subject to Executive Order 

13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Are 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 

• Do 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, these actions do 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 these actions 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 June 29, 2012. 

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).)

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to 

determine, pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA), that the bi-state St. Louis 

(MO-IL) ozone nonattainment area (‘‘St. 

Louis area’’) attained the 1997 8-hour 

ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) by the applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010. This 

determination is based upon complete, 

quality-assured, and certified ambient 

air quality data from the 2007–2009 

monitoring period which show that the 

St. Louis area has monitored attainment 

of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS as of 

the applicable date.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What final action is EPA taking in 

this final rule? 

Pursuant to section 181(b)(2) of the 

CAA, EPA is taking final action to 

determine that the St. Louis area 

attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

by its applicable attainment date of June 

15, 2010. The St. Louis area is 

composed of Jefferson County, Franklin 

County, St. Louis County, St. Louis City, 

and St. Charles County in Missouri, and 

Madison, Monroe, Jersey, and St. Clair 

Counties in Illinois. This determination 

is based upon complete, quality-assured 

and certified ambient air monitoring 

data from 2007–2009 which show that 

the St. Louis area monitored attainment 

of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS as of 

its applicable attainment date. 

On February 2, 2012, EPA published 

in the Federal Register a proposed 

rulemaking to determine that the St. 

Louis area attained the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS by its applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010 (see 77 

FR 5210). EPA did not receive any 

public comments on this proposal. 

II. What is the background for this 

action? 

On July 18, 1997 (62 FR 38856), EPA 

promulgated an 8-hour ozone standard 

of 0.08 parts per million (ppm). On 

April 30, 2004 (69 FR 23858), EPA 

published a final rule designating and 

classifying areas under the 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS. These designations and 

classifications became effective June 15, 

2004. EPA designated as nonattainment 

any area that was violating the 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS based on the three most 

recent years of air quality data, 2001– 

2003. Under EPA’s implementation rule 

for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard (69 

FR 23951, April 30, 2004), an area was 

classified under subpart 2 of the CAA 

based on its 8-hour ozone design value 

(i.e. the three-year average annual 

fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour 

average ozone concentration), if it had a 

1-hour design value at the time of 

designation at or above 0.121 ppm. See 

40 CFR 51.902(a). All other 

nonattainment areas were covered 

under subpart 1, based upon their 8- 

hour design values (69 FR 23958). The 

St. Louis area was classified as a subpart 

2, 8-hour ozone moderate 

nonattainment area by EPA on April 30, 

2004 (69 FR 23858, 23898 and 23915), 

based on the three most recent years of 

monitoring data (2001–2003), consistent 

with 40 CFR 51.903(a). 

As a moderate nonattainment area for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, the St. 

Louis (MO-IL) area had an applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010, as 

required by 40 CFR 51.903(a) Table 1. 

Pursuant to section 181(b)(2) of the 

CAA, EPA is required to make a 

determination as to whether the St. 

Louis area attained the standard as of its 

applicable attainment date. This final 

action is based on the area’s design 

value as of the attainment date, which 

in turn is based on the three most recent 

years of air quality data (2007–2009) 

prior to the attainment date. 

III. What was the air quality in the St. 

Louis area for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for the 2007–2009 monitoring 

period? 

Today’s rulemaking assesses whether 

the St. Louis area attained the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS by its applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010. Under 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR 50.15, the 

1997 8-hour primary and secondary 

ozone ambient air quality standards are 

met at an ambient air quality monitoring 

site when the 3-year average of the 

annual fourth-highest daily maximum 8- 

hour average ozone concentration is less 

than or equal to 0.08 ppm, as 

determined in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 50, Appendix I. Based on the 

rounding convention set forth in section 

2.3 of Appendix I, the smallest value 

that is greater than 0.08 ppm is 0.085 

ppm. 

EPA has reviewed the ambient air 

monitoring data for the St. Louis area for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, 

consistent with requirements contained 

at 40 CFR Part 50. EPA’s review focused 

primarily on data recorded in the EPA 

Air Quality System (AQS) database for 

the St. Louis area for 2007–2009. 

More detailed discussion of EPA’s 

evaluation of the available monitoring 

data for the St. Louis area during the 

2007–2009 monitoring period can be 

found in the proposal for this 

rulemaking (see 77 FR at 5211). Based 

on its evaluation of complete quality 

assured and certified data from the 

relevant monitoring sites for the 2007– 

2009 monitoring period, EPA has 

determined that the St. Louis area 

attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

by the June 15, 2010 attainment date. 

EPA did not receive any comments on 

the proposed determination during the 

public comment period on the proposal. 

Table 1 shows the 2007–2009 and 

2008–2010 ozone design values for the 

St. Louis area monitors with complete, 

quality-assured and certified data for 

that period. All data values are 

expressed in ppm. As shown in Table 1, 

all of these monitors recorded ozone 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 83 / Monday, April 30, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 25365 

design values less than 0.085 ppm for 

2007–2009 and 2008–2010, with the 

highest value at any monitor in the area, 

0.078 ppm, recorded at the West Alton 

monitor.

* Although the determination here is whether the area attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS based on 2007–2009 data, the 2010 data 

shows that all monitors in the St. Louis area continued to attain the NAAQS in 2008–2010. 

Based on its evaluation of complete 

quality assured and certified data from 

the relevant monitoring sites for the 

2007–2009 monitoring period, EPA has 

determined that the St. Louis area 

attained the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

by the June 15, 2010 attainment date. 

IV. EPA’s Final Action 

In today’s rulemaking, pursuant to 

CAA section 181(b)(2), EPA is taking 

final action to determine that the St. 

Louis area has attained the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS by its applicable 

attainment date of June 15, 2010. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

This final action merely makes a 

determination of the St. Louis area’s 

attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS based upon complete, qualityassured, and certified ambient air 

quality data, pursuant to statutory 

mandate, and does not impose 

additional requirements beyond those 

imposed by state law. This final action 

makes a non-discretionary 

determination of the St. Louis area’s 

attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS based solely upon complete, 

quality-assured, and certified ambient 

air quality data, as mandated by CAA 

section 181(b)(2)(A). For that reason, 

this final 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 CAA; 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, this final action does not 

have tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

determination only affects the St. Louis 

area—which does not include Indian 

country—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
