SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 

25, 2011, the Delaware Department of 

Natural Resources and Environmental 

Control (DNREC) submitted a SIP 

revision that amends the control of VOC 

emissions from offset lithographic 

printing and letterpress printing (7 DE 

Admin Code 1124, Section 47.0). The 

purpose of this SIP revision is to 

conform to the new Control Techniques 

Guidelines (CTG) issued by EPA. 

I. Background 

Section 182(b)(2) of the CAA requires 

all ozone nonattainment areas, 

including Delaware, to update relevant 

regulations for reasonably available 

control technology (RACT) controls for 

emission sources covered by EPA’s CTG 

and to submit the regulations to EPA as 

SIP revisions. Section 47.0 (Offset 

Lithographic Printing) under 7 DE 

Admin Code 1124 (Control of VOC 

Emissions) was originally developed in 

1994 after EPA issued a CTG in 1993 for 

the control of VOC emissions from the 

offset lithographic printing industry. 

(See docket EPA–HQ–OAR–2006–0536 

for the 1993 CTG and 62 FR 26399, May 

14, 1997 for 7 DE Admin Code 1124, 

Section 47.0). In September 2006 (EPA– 

453/R–06–002), EPA updated its CTG 

for the offset lithographic printing 

industry by adding control requirements 

for letterpress printing operations. 

DNREC revised Section 47.0 (Offset 

Lithographic Printing and Letterpress 

Printing) in early 2010 to reflect the new 

requirements in EPA’s 2006 CTG. 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

DNREC’s SIP revision to Section 47.0 

that was submitted on May 25, 2011, 

expands the control of VOC emissions 

to include letterpress printing presses 

and set up a new and more stringent 95 

percent reduction standard for those 

control systems installed after April 11, 

2011 (effective date of the SIP revision). 

Amendments to Section 47.0 also 

include specifying a one-year transition 

period for facilities to comply with the 

new requirements and providing 

flexibility for facilities to locate 

unspecified temperature monitoring 

devices for control systems. A detailed 

summary of EPA’s review and rationale 

for proposing to approve this SIP 

revision may be found in the Technical 

Support Document (TSD) for this action 

which is available on line at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, Docket number 

EPA–R03–OAR–2011–0603. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

Delaware SIP revision for the control of 

VOC emissions from offset lithographic 

printing and letterpress printing (7 DE 

Admin Code 1124, Section 47.0) 

submitted on May 25, 2011. EPA is 

soliciting public comments on the 

issues discussed in this document. 

These comments will be considered 

before taking final action. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 


erowe on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS-1
59090 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 185 / Friday, September 23, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 proposed rule, 

pertaining to Delaware’s offset 

lithographic printing and letterpress 

printing, 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.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a portion of the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 

State of Oregon for the purpose of 

addressing the third element of the 

interstate transport provisions of Clean 

Air Act (CAA or the Act) section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS or standards) and 

the 1997 and 2006 fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5) NAAQS. The third 

element of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) requires that a State 

not interfere with any other State’s 

required measures to prevent significant 

deterioration (PSD) of its air quality. 

EPA is also proposing to approve 

numerous revisions to the Oregon SIP 

that were submitted to EPA by the State 

of Oregon on October 8, 2008; October 

10, 2008; March 17, 2009; June 23, 2010; 

December 22, 2010 and May 5, 2011. 

The revisions include updating 

Oregon’s new source review (NSR) rules 

to be consistent with current Federal 

regulations and streamlining Oregon’s 

air quality rules by clarifying 

requirements, removing duplicative 

rules, and correcting errors. The 

revisions were submitted in accordance 

with the requirements of section 110 

and part D of the Act).
