A. Delegation of NESHAP 

B. NDEP Delegations 

II. EPA Action 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

A. Delegation of NESHAP 

Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act, as 

amended in 1990 (CAA), authorizes 

EPA to delegate to State or local air 

pollution control agencies the authority 

to implement and enforce the standards 

set out in the Code of Federal 

Regulations, Title 40 (40 CFR), part 63, 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source 

Categories. On November 26, 1993, EPA 

promulgated regulations, codified at 40 

CFR part 63, Subpart E (hereinafter 

referred to as ‘‘Subpart E’’), establishing 

procedures for EPA’s approval of State 

rules or programs under section 112(l) 

(see 58 FR 62262). Subpart E was later 

amended on September 14, 2000 (see 65 

FR 55810). 

Any request for approval under CAA 

section 112(l) must meet the approval 

criteria in 112(l)(5) and Subpart E. To 

streamline the approval process for 

future applications, a State or local 

agency may submit a one-time 

demonstration that it has adequate 

authorities and resources to implement 

and enforce any CAA section 112 

standards. If such demonstration is 

approved, then the State or local agency 

would no longer need to resubmit a 

demonstration of these same authorities 

and resources for every subsequent 

request for delegation of CAA section 

112 standards. However, EPA maintains 

the authority to withdraw its approval if 

the State does not adequately 

implement or enforce an approved rule 

or program. 

B. NDEP Delegations 

On May 27, 1998, EPA published a 

direct final action delegating to the 

NDEP several NESHAP and approving 

NDEP’s delegation mechanism for future 

standards (see 63 FR 28906). That action 

explained the procedure for EPA to 

grant future delegations to NDEP by 

letter, with periodic Federal Register 

listings of standards that have been 

delegated. On August 19, 2011, NDEP 

requested delegation of the following 

NESHAP contained in 40 CFR part 63: 

• The amendments to Subpart LLL— 

NESHAP from the Portland Cement 

Manufacturing Industry, as set forth in 

75 FR 54970 (September 9, 2010). 

• The amendments to Subpart 

ZZZZ—NESHAP for Stationary 

Reciprocating Internal Combustion 

Engines, as set forth in 75 FR 51570 

(August 20, 2010) and 76 FR 12863 

(March 9, 2011). 

• Subpart DDDDD—NESHAP for 

Industrial, Commercial, and 

Institutional Boilers and Process 

Heaters. 

• Subpart BBBBBB—NESHAP for 

Source Category: Gasoline Distribution 

Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants, and 

Pipeline Facilities. 

• Subpart CCCCCC—NESHAP for 

Source Category: Gasoline Dispensing 

Facilities. 

• Subpart HHHHHH—NESHAP: 

Paint Stripping and Miscellaneous 

Surface Coating Operations at Area 

Sources. 

• Subpart JJJJJJ—NESHAP for 

Industrial, Commercial, and 

Institutional Boilers Area Sources. 

• Subpart VVVVVV—NESHAP for 

Chemical Manufacturing Area Sources. 

• Subpart WWWWWW—NESHAP: 

Area Source Standards for Plating and 

Polishing Operations. 

• Subpart XXXXXX—NESHAP Area 

Source Standards for Nine Metal 

Fabrication and Finishing Source 

Categories. 

• Subpart ZZZZZZ—NESHAP: Area 

Source Standards for Aluminum, 

Copper, and Other Nonferrous 

Foundries.

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 38 / Monday, February 27, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 11391 

• Subpart AAAAAAA—NESHAP for 

Area Sources: Asphalt Processing and 

Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing. 

• Subpart BBBBBBB—NESHAP for 

Area Sources: Chemical Preparations 

Industry. 

• Subpart CCCCCCC—NESHAP for 

Area Sources: Paints and Allied 

Products Manufacturing. 

• Subpart EEEEEEE—NESHAP: Gold 

Mine Ore Processing and Production 

Area Source Category. 

On October 6, 2011, EPA granted 

delegation to NDEP for these NESHAP, 

along with any amendments made to 

previously-delegated NESHAP as of July 

1, 2010. Today’s action is serving to 

notify the public of the October 6, 2011, 

delegation and to codify these 

delegations into the Code of Federal 

Regulations. 

II. EPA Action 

Today’s document serves to notify the 

public of the delegation of NESHAP to 

NDEP on October 6, 2011. Today’s 

action will codify these delegations into 

the CFR. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve delegation requests 

that comply with the provisions of the 

CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7412(l); 40 CFR 63.91(b). 

Thus, in reviewing delegation 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, 

this action merely approves State law 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 CAA; 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 

delegations are 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by April 27, 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. 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)). 

Authority: This action is issued under the 

authority of Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, 

as amended, 42 U.S.C. Section 7412.

[EPA–HQ–OAR–2011–0393; FRL–9636–5] 

RIN 2060–AR03 

Transportation Conformity Rule: 

MOVES Regional Grace Period 

Extension 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to 

extend the grace period before the 

MOtor Vehicle Emission Simulator 

(MOVES) model is required for regional 

emissions analyses for transportation 

conformity determinations (‘‘regional 

conformity analyses’’). This final rule 

provides an additional year to the 

previously established two-year 

conformity grace period. As a result, 

EPA is announcing in this Federal 

Register that MOVES must be used for 

new regional conformity analyses that 

begin after March 2, 2013. This action 

does not affect EPA’s previous approval 

of the use of MOVES in state air quality 

implementation plan (SIP) submissions 

or the existing grace period before 

MOVES is required for carbon 

monoxide and particulate matter hotspot analyses for project-level 

conformity determinations (75 FR 

79370). 

DATES: This rule is effective on February 

27, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2011–0393. All 

documents in the docket are listed in 

the www.regulations.gov index. 

Although listed in the index, some
