National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to Oklahoma 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The Oklahoma Department of 

Environmental Quality (ODEQ) has 

submitted updated regulations for 

receiving delegation of Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) authority for 

implementation and enforcement of 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) 

for all sources (both part 70 and nonpart 70 sources). The delegation of 

authority under this action does not 

apply to sources located in Indian 

Country. EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve the delegation of 

certain NESHAPs to ODEQ. 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 27, 

2015 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 26, 2015. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the updated 

NESHAPs delegation will not take 

effect.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What does this action do? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve the delegation of certain 

NESHAPs to ODEQ. With this 

delegation, ODEQ has the primary 

responsibility to implement and enforce 

the delegated standards. 

II. What is the authority for delegation? 

Section 112(l) of the CAA, and 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart E, authorize EPA to 

delegate authority to any State or local 

agency which submits adequate 

regulatory procedures for 

implementation and enforcement of 

emission standards for hazardous air 

pollutants. The hazardous air pollutant 

standards are codified at 40 CFR parts 

61 and 63. 

III. What criteria must Oklahoma’s 

program meet to be approved? 

Section 112(l)(5) of the CAA enables 

EPA to approve state air toxics programs 

or rules to operate in place of the 

Federal air toxics program or rules. 40 

CFR part 63, subpart E governs EPA’s 

approval of State rules or programs 

under section 112(l). 

EPA will approve an air toxics 

program if we find that: 

(1) The State program is ‘‘no less 

stringent’’ than the corresponding 

Federal program or rule; 

(2) The State has adequate authority 

and resources to implement the 

program; 

(3) The schedule for implementation 

and compliance is sufficiently 

expeditious; and 

(4) The program otherwise complies 

with Federal guidance. 

In order to obtain approval of its 

program to implement and enforce 

Federal section 112 rules as 

promulgated without changes (straight 

delegation), a state must demonstrate 

that it meets the approval criteria of 40 

CFR 63.91(d). 40 CFR 63.91(d)(3) 

provides that interim or final Title V 

program approval will satisfy the 

criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 

sources (sources required to obtain 

operating permits pursuant to Title V of 

the Clean Air Act). 

IV. How did ODEQ meet the NESHAPs 

program approval criteria? 

As to the NESHAPs standards in 40 

CFR parts 61 and 63, as part of its Title 

V submission ODEQ stated that it 

intended to use the mechanism of 

incorporation by reference to adopt 

unchanged Federal section 112 into its 

regulations. This commitment applied 

to both existing and future standards as 

they applied to part 70 sources. EPA’s 

final interim approval of Oklahoma’s 

Title V operating permits program 

delegated the authority to implement 

certain NESHAPs on February 5, 1996 

(61 FR 4220). On December 5, 2001, 

EPA granted final full approval of the 

State’s operating permits program (66 

FR 63170). These interim and final Title 

V program approvals satisfy the upfront 

approval criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d). 

Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once a State 

has satisfied up-front approval criteria, 

it needs only to reference the previous 

demonstration and reaffirm that it still 

meets the criteria for any subsequent 

submittals of the section 112 standards. 

ODEQ has affirmed that it still meets the 

up-front approval criteria. 

V. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated January 11, 2008, 

ODEQ requested EPA to update its 

existing NESHAP delegation. With 

certain exceptions noted in section VI 

below, Oklahoma’s request included 

NESHAPs in 40 CFR part 61 and 40 CFR 

part 63. ODEQ’s request included newly 

incorporated NESHAPs promulgated by 

EPA and amendments to existing 

standards currently delegated, as 

amended between September 2, 2004 

and September 1, 2006. These NESHAPs 

were adopted by the ODEQ on March 

27, 2007, and became effective on June 

15, 2007. 

VI. What is not being delegated? 

The following part 61 and 63 

authorities listed below are not 

delegated. All of the inquiries and 

requests concerning implementation 

and enforcement of the excluded 

standards in the State of Oklahoma 

should be directed to the EPA Region 6 

Office. 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart B (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Underground Uranium 

Mines); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart H (National 

Emission Standards for Emissions of 

Radionuclides Other Than Radon From 

Department of Energy Facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart I (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Federal Facilities Other 

Than Nuclear Regulatory Commission 

Licensees and Not Covered by Subpart 

H); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart K (National 

Emission Standards for Radionuclide 

Emissions from Elemental Phosphorus 

Plants); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart Q (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Department of Energy 

facilities); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart R (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Phosphogypsum 

Stacks); 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart T (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from the Disposal of Uranium 

Mill Tailings); and 

• 40 CFR part 61, subpart W (National 

Emission Standards for Radon 

Emissions from Operating Mill 

Tailings). 

In addition, EPA cannot delegate to a 

State any of the Category II Subpart A 

authorities set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g) 

(2). These include the following 

provisions: § 63.6(g), Approval of 

Alternative Non-Opacity Standards; 

§ 63.6(h)(9), Approval of Alternative 

Opacity Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and 

(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to 

Test Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of 

Major Alternatives to Monitoring; and 

§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting. In addition, some Part 63 

standards have certain provisions that 

cannot be delegated to the States. 

Therefore, any Part 63 standard that 

provides that certain authorities cannot 

be delegated are retained by EPA and 

not delegated to ODEQ. Furthermore, no 

authorities are delegated that require 

rulemaking in the Federal Register to 

implement, or where Federal overview

9624 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

1The Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient 

Transportation Equity Act of 2005 includes a 

provision relating to Oklahoma and EPA programs, 

providing: 

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if 

the Administrator of the Environmental Protection 

Agency (referred to in this section as the 

‘‘Administrator’’) determines that a regulatory 

program submitted by the State of Oklahoma for 

approval by the Administrator under a law 

administered by the Administrator meets applicable 

requirements of the law, and the Administrator 

approves the State to administer the State program 

under the law with respect to areas in the State that 

are not Indian country, on request of the State, the 

Administrator shall approve the State to administer 

the State program in the areas of the State that are 

in Indian country, without any further 

demonstration of authority by the State. 

H.R. 3, Section 10211(a). Oklahoma has not 

applied to administer the NESHAPS program in 

Indian country in accordance with this statute. 

is the only way to ensure national 

consistency in the application of the 

standards or requirements of CAA 

section 112. Finally, section 112(r), the 

accidental release program authority, is 

not being delegated by this approval. 

In addition, this delegation to ODEQ 

to implement and enforce certain 

NESHAPs does not extend to sources or 

activities located in Indian country, as 

defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Under this 

definition, EPA treats as reservations, 

trust lands validly set aside for the use 

of a Tribe even if the trust lands have 

not been formally designated as a 

reservation. Consistent with previous 

federal program approvals or 

delegations, EPA will continue to 

implement the NESHAPs in Indian 

country because ODEQ has not 

submitted information to demonstrate 

authority over sources and activities 

located within the exterior boundaries 

of Indian reservations and other areas in 

Indian country.1

VII. How will applicability 

determinations under section 112 be 

made? 

In approving this delegation, ODEQ 

will obtain concurrence from EPA on 

any matter involving the interpretation 

of section 112 of the CAA or 40 CFR 

parts 61 and 63 to the extent that 

implementation, administration, or 

enforcement of these sections have not 

been covered by EPA determinations or 

guidance. 

VIII. What authority does EPA have? 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 112. EPA 

also has the authority to make certain 

decisions under the General Provisions 

(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting 

ODEQ some of these authorities, and 

retaining others, as explained in 

sections V and VI above. In addition, 

EPA may review and disapprove of 

State determinations and subsequently 

require corrections. (See 40 CFR 

63.91(g) and 65 FR 55810, 55823, 

September 14, 2000, as amended at 70 

FR 59887, October 13, 2005; 72 FR 

27443, May 16, 2007.) 

Furthermore, we retain any authority 

in an individual emission standard that 

may not be delegated according to 

provisions of the standard. Also, listed 

in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation 

table at the end of this rule are the 

authorities that cannot be delegated to 

any State or local agency which we 

therefore retain. 

IX. What information must ODEQ 

provide to EPA? 

ODEQ must provide any additional 

compliance related information to EPA, 

Region 6, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance within 45 days 

of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). In 

receiving delegation for specific General 

Provisions authorities, ODEQ must 

submit to EPA Region 6 on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations 

issued under these authorities. For parts 

61 and 63 standards, these 

determinations include: Section 63.1, 

Applicability Determinations; Section 

63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and 

Visible Emissions Standards— 

Responsibility for Determining 

Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and 

(d), Approval of Site-Specific Test 

Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of 

Minor Alternatives to Test Methods; 

Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval 

of Intermediate Alternatives to Test 

Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval 

of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes 

When Necessitated by Process Variables 

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension 

of Performance Test Deadline. 

X. What is EPA’s oversight role? 

EPA must oversee ODEQ’s decisions 

to ensure the delegated authorities are 

being adequately implemented and 

enforced. We will integrate oversight of 

the delegated authorities into the 

existing mechanisms and resources for 

oversight currently in place. If, during 

oversight, we determine that ODEQ 

made decisions that decreased the 

stringency of the delegated standards, 

then ODEQ shall be required to take 

corrective actions and the source(s) 

affected by the decisions will be 

notified, as required by 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will initiate 

withdrawal of the program or rule if the 

corrective actions taken are insufficient. 

XI. Should sources submit notices to 

EPA or ODEQ? 

All of the information required 

pursuant to the general provisions and 

the relevant subpart of the Federal 

NESHAPs (40 CFR parts 61 and 63) 

should be submitted by sources located 

outside of Indian country, directly to the 

ODEQ at the following address: 

Oklahoma Department of Environmental 

Quality, 707 North Robinson, P.O. Box 

1677, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73101– 

1677. The ODEQ is the primary point of 

contact with respect to delegated 

NESHAPs. Sources do not need to send 

a copy to EPA. EPA Region 6 waives the 

requirement that notifications and 

reports for delegated standards be 

submitted to EPA in addition to ODEQ 

in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) 

and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For those standards 

that are not delegated, sources must 

continue to submit all appropriate 

information to EPA. 

XII. How will unchanged authorities be 

delegated to ODEQ in the future? 

In the future, ODEQ will only need to 

send a letter of request for approval to 

EPA, Region 6, for NESHAP regulations 

that ODEQ has adopted by reference. 

The letter must reference the previous 

up-front approval demonstration and 

reaffirm that it still meets the up-front 

approval criteria. We will respond in 

writing to the request stating that the 

request for delegation is either granted 

or denied. A Federal Register action 

will be published to inform the public 

and affected sources of the delegation, 

indicate where source notifications and 

reports should be sent, and to amend 

the relevant portions of the Code of 

Federal Regulations showing which 

NESHAPs standards have been 

delegated to ODEQ. 

XIII. Final Action 

The public was provided the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed approval of the program and 

mechanism for delegation of section 112 

standards, as they apply to part 70 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 36 / Tuesday, February 24, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 9625 

sources, on March 10, 1995, for the 

proposed interim approval of ODEQ’s 

operating permits program. (60 FR 

13088). In EPA’s final full approval of 

ODEQ’s operating permits program on 

February 5, 1996 (61 FR 4220), EPA 

discussed that no adverse comments 

were received from the public on the 

proposed final delegation of the 

operating permits program. In today’s 

action, the public is given the 

opportunity to comment on the 

approval of ODEQ’s request for 

delegation of authority to implement 

and enforce certain section 112 

standards for all sources (both part 70 

and non-part 70 sources) which have 

been adopted by reference into 

Oklahoma’s state regulations. However, 

the Agency views the approval of this 

request as a noncontroversial action and 

anticipates no adverse comments. 

Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s 

Federal Register publication, EPA is 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

program and delegation of authority 

described in this action if adverse 

comments are received. This action will 

be effective April 27, 2015 without 

further notice unless the Agency 

receives relevant adverse comments by 

March 26, 2015. 

If EPA receives relevant adverse 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public the rule will not 

take effect. We will address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. The EPA 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. Please note that if we receive 

relevant adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of the 

rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of a 

relevant adverse comment. 

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

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 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 

(Pub. L. 104–4). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the 

delegation is not approved to apply in 

Indian country located in the State, and 

the EPA notes that it will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. 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 request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

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 delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions 

provided that they meet the 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 delegation submission 

for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation 

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.). 

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 rule 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 April 27, 2015. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the 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 may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

Alternative Opacity Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Major Alternatives to Test Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to 

Monitoring; § 63.10(f), Approval of Major Alternatives to Recordkeeping and Reporting; and all authorities identified in the subparts (e.g., under 

‘‘Delegation of Authority’’) that cannot be delegated. 3The ODEQ has adopted this subpart unchanged and applied for delegation of the standard. The subpart was vacated and remanded to EPA 

by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. See, Mossville Environmental Action Network v. EPA, 370 F. 3d 1232 

(D.C. Cir. 2004). Because of the D.C. Court’s holding, this subpart is not delegated to ODEQ at this time.
