AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Feather River Air Quality Management 

District (FRAQMD or the District) 

portion of the California State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). Included in 

this approval are the following three SIP 

demonstrations from FRAQMD: 2006

Technology (RACT) Analysis for State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), November 

2006; Reasonably Available Control 

Technology State Implementation Plan 

Revision Negative Declaration for 

Control Techniques Guidelines Issued 

2006–2008, June 1, 2009 and; 

Reasonably Available Control 

Technology Analysis and Negative 

Declarations, July 3, 2014. The first two 

demonstrations address the 1997 8-hour 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) for ozone, and the third 

demonstration addresses the 2008 8- 

hour NAAQS for ozone. These 

submitted SIP revisions contain 

FRAQMD’s negative declarations for 

volatile organic compound (VOC) 

source categories. We are approving the 

submitted SIP revisions under the Clean 

Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 

Act). We are also approving a local rule 

to regulate VOC emissions from gasoline 

dispensing facilities.

I. The State’s Submittal. 

A. What documents and what rule did 

the state submit? 

Table 1 lists the RACT SIP documents 

addressed by this action with the date 

that each one was adopted by the local 

air agency and submitted to EPA by the 

California Air Resources Board (CARB). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED DOCUMENTS

The FRAQMD 2006 RACT SIP 

submittal became complete by operation 

of law on January 11, 2008, and the 

FRAQMD 2009 RACT SIP submittal 

became complete by operation of law on 

April 27, 2010, each pursuant to CAA 

section 110(k)(1)(B). On January 23, 

2015, EPA determined that the 

submittal for the FRAQMD 2014 RACT 

SIP met the completeness criteria in 40 

CFR part 51 Appendix V, which must be 

met before formal EPA review. 

For the rule submitted by the state, 

Table 2 lists the rule we are approving 

with the dates it was adopted by the 

local air agency and submitted to EPA 

by CARB. 

TABLE 2—SUBMITTED RULE

Local agency Rule No. Document Amended Submitted 

FRAQMD ........ 3.8 Gasoline Dispensing Facilities ............................................................................ 6/2/14 11/6/14 

B. Are there other versions of these 

documents and the rule? 

There are no previous submitted 

versions of FRAQMD’s 2006, 2009, and 

2014 RACT SIPs. For Rule 3.8, we 

approved an early version: The Sutter 

County Rule 3.08(3.8), ‘‘Storage and 

Transfer of Gasoline’’, on May 3, 1982 

(47 FR 18856). With the formation of 

FRAQMD in 1991, this rule was adopted 

with identical language in June 1991 to 

apply beyond just Sutter County to the 

entire larger FRAQMD area. 

C. What is the purpose of the RACT SIP 

submissions and the submitted rule 

revision? 

VOCs and nitrogen oxides (NOX) help 

produce ground-level ozone and smog, 

which harm human health and the 

environment. Section 110(a) of the CAA 

requires states to submit enforceable 

regulations that control VOC and NOX

emissions. Sections 182(b)(2) and (f) 

require that SIPs for ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

moderate or above require 

implementation of RACT for any source 

covered by an EPA Control Techniques 

Guidance (CTG) document and any 

other major stationary source of VOCs or 

NOX. FRAQMD is subject to this 

requirement as the southern part of 

Sutter County in FRAQMD is designated 

and classified as a severe ozone 

nonattainment area for the 1997 and 

2008 8-hour NAAQS for ozone (see 40 

CFR 81.305). Therefore, FRAQMD must, 

at a minimum, adopt RACT-level 

controls for all sources covered by a 

CTG document and for all major nonCTG stationary sources of VOCs or NOX

in south Sutter County. The District 

adopted its 2006 RACT SIP, with 

negative declarations, on December 4, 

2006. FRAQMD adopted its 2009 RACT 

SIP revision, which included negative 

declarations for 11 new or updated 

CTGs issued from 2006 to 2008, on June 

1, 2009. FRAQMD adopted its 2014 

RACT SIP, with negative declarations, 

on August 2014. No comments were 

received on any of the three RACT SIP 

demonstrations. Along with the 2014 

RACT SIP adoption, FRAQMD adopted 

Rule 3.8 which is designed to limit VOC 

emissions from displaced gasoline 

vapors while transferring gasoline into 

storage tanks and transport vessels. This 

rule is intended to fully satisfy the CTG 

design criteria for Stage I vapor control 

systems. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the RACT SIP 

submissions and the submitted rule 

revision? 

FRAQMD regulates the Yuba County 

and Sutter County portions of the 

Sacramento Valley Air Basin. The 

southern part of Sutter County is 

designated and classified as a severe 

ozone nonattainment area for the 1997 

and 2008 8-hour national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) for ozone 

(40 CFR 81.305). CAA Section 182(b)(2) 

and (f), as well as 40 CFR 51.912(a)(1) 

require that SIPs for ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

moderate or above require 

implementation of RACT for any source 

covered by a CTG document and any 

other major stationary source of VOCs or 

NOX. Any stationary source that emits 

or has a potential to emit at least 25 tons 

per year (tpy) of VOCs or NOX in a 

severe ozone nonattainment area is 

considered a major stationary source 

(see CAA sections 182(b(2)) and (f) and 

302(j)). Where there are no existing 

sources covered by a particular CTG 

document or no other major stationary 

sources of VOCs or NOX, states may, in 

lieu of adopting RACT requirements, 

adopt negative declarations certifying 

that there are no such sources in the 

relevant nonattainment area (see 

Memorandum from William T. Harnett 

to Regional Air Division Directors, (May 

18, 2006), ‘‘RACT Qs & As—Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) 

Questions and Answers’’ page 7). 

SIP rules must be enforceable (see 

CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not 

interfere with applicable requirements 

concerning attainment and reasonable 

further progress or other CAA 

requirements (see CAA section 110(l)), 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 130 / Wednesday, July 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 38961 

and must not modify certain SIP control 

requirements in nonattainment areas 

without ensuring equivalent or greater 

emissions reductions (see CAA section 

193). 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we used to evaluate CAA section 182 

RACT SIPs for FRAQMD include the 

following: 

1. ‘‘Final Rule to Implement the 8- 

Hour Ozone National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard—Phase 2’’ (70 FR

B. Does the RACT SIP submission meet 

the evaluation criteria? 

The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs 

each includes three elements, as 

described further below: 

1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX rules 

for sources subject to a CTG. 

2. Negative declarations where there 

are no facilities subject to a CTG. 

3. Negative declaration for major nonCTG sources of VOC or NOX. 

A summary of our evaluation of each 

element is provided below. For 

additional information concerning our 

evaluation, please refer to the Technical 

Support Documents (TSDs) concerning 

the 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs and 

FRAQMD Rule 3.8, which are available 

in the docket for this action. 

1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX Rules 

for Sources Subject to a CTG 

We believe that Rule 3.8 is consistent 

with the relevant requirements, as well 

as policy and guidance regarding 

enforceability, RACT, and SIP 

relaxations. We are not aware of 

information suggesting that additional 

controls are needed to fulfill RACT. 

2. Negative Declarations Where There 

are no Facilities Subject to a CTG 

Negative declarations are only 

required for CTG source categories for 

which the District has no sources 

covered by the CTG. A negative 

declaration is not required for non-CTG 

source categories. Table 3 below lists 

the CTG source categories for the 2006, 

2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs. The District 

indicated it does not currently have, nor 

does it anticipate sources subject to the 

CTGs in these categories in the future. 

We searched CARB’s emissions 

inventory database to verify there are no 

facilities in FRAQMD that might be 

subject to the CTGs listed below. We 

concur with the District’s negative 

declarations.

(codified at 40 CFR 51.100(s)(1)). 

3. Negative Declaration for Major NonCTG Sources of VOC or NOX

The 2006, 2009 and 2014 RACT SIPs 

each included a negative declaration for 

major non-CTG sources of VOC and 

NOX. EPA agrees that there are no major 

non-CTG sources of NOX or VOCs in the 

south Sutter County nonattainment area. 

4. Conclusion 

We find that FRAQMD’s 2006, 2009, 

and 2014 RACT SIPs including the 

negative declarations and the Rule 3.8 

revisions, adequately demonstrate that 

they satisfy RACT for the 1997 and 2008 

8-hour ozone NAAQS. Our TSDs have 

more information on our evaluation of 

the three RACT SIP submissions and 

Rule 3.8. 

C. EPA Recommendations To 

Strengthen the RACT SIPs and the Rule 

Our TSD for Rule 3.8 describes 

additional revisions that we recommend 

for the next time FRAQMD modifies the 

rule. 

D. Public Comment and Final Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted SIP revisions because we 

believe they fulfill all relevant 

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 SIP revisions. If we 

receive adverse comments by August 7, 

2015, 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 

September 8, 2015. This will 

incorporate these documents and rule 

into the federally enforceable SIP. 

Please note that if EPA receives 

adverse comment on a specific 

provision of this SIP revision and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the SIP revision, EPA may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

SIP revision that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of the FRAQMD rule 

described in the amendments to 40 CFR 

52 set forth below. EPA has made, and 

will continue to make, this document 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at the appropriate EPA office (see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble for 

more information). 

IV. 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 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 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, the SIPs and the rule are not 

approved to apply on any Indian 

reservation land or in any other area 

where EPA or an Indian tribe has 

demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as

38964 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 130 / Wednesday, July 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

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 September 8, 

2015. 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)).

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Butte County Air 

Quality Management District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is finalizing a limited 

approval and limited disapproval of 

revisions to the Butte County Air 

Quality Management District 

(BCAQMD) portion of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). These 

revisions concern volatile organic 

compound (VOC), oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX) and particulate matter (PM) 

emissions from open burning. Under 

authority of the Clean Air Act (CAA or 

the Act), this action simultaneously 

approves a local rule that regulates these 

emission sources and directs BCAQMD 

to correct rule deficiencies. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

7, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established 

docket number EPA–R09–OAR–2015– 

0037 for this action. Generally, 

documents in the docket for this action 

are available electronically at http://

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at 

EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, 

San Francisco, California 94105–3901. 

While all documents in the docket are 

listed at http://www.regulations.gov, 

some information may be publicly 

available only at the hard copy location 

(e.g., copyrighted material, large maps, 

multi-volume reports), and some may 

not be available in either location (e.g., 

confidential business information 

(CBI)). To inspect the hard copy 

materials, please schedule an 

appointment during normal business 

hours with the contact listed in the FOR
