Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 76855

This technical correction action does 

not involve technical standards; 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. The rule also 

does not involve special consideration 

of environmental justice related issues 

as required by Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In 

issuing this rule, EPA has taken the 

necessary steps to eliminate drafting 

errors and ambiguity, minimize 

potential litigation, and provide a clear 

legal standard for affected conduct, as 

required by section 3 of Executive Order 

12988 (61 FR 4729, February 7, 1996). 

EPA has complied with Executive Order 

12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 1998) by 

examining the takings implications of 

the rule in accordance with the 

‘‘Attorney General’s Supplemental 

Guidelines for the Evaluation of Risk 

and Avoidance of Unanticipated 

Takings’’ issued under the executive 

order. This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under 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. Section 808 allows 

the issuing agency to make a rule 

effective sooner than otherwise 

provided by the CRA if the agency 

makes a good cause finding that notice 

and public procedure is impracticable, 

unnecessary or contrary to the public 

interest. This determination must be 

supported by a brief statement. 5 U.S.C. 

808(2). As stated previously, EPA had 

made such a good cause finding, 

including the reasons therefore, and 

established an effective date of 

December 27, 2004. 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. This correction to 

40 CFR 52.52.1070(c) for Maryland is 

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On April 

16, 2004, the District of Columbia (the 

District) submitted several revisions to 

its SIP. The SIP revisions include both 

new regulations and amendments to 

Title 20 of the District of Columbia 

Municipal Regulations (20 DCMR). The 

new regulations in Title 20 DCMR 

(Environment), Subtitle A: Air Quality, 

Chapter 7, Volatile Organic Compounds 

are: 

(1) New Section 718—‘‘Mobile 

Equipment Repair and Refinishing’’. 

(2) New Sections 719 through 734—

‘‘Consumer Products’’. 

(3) New Sections 735 through 741—

‘‘Portable Fuel Containers and Spouts’’. 

(4) New Sections 742 through 748—

‘‘Solvent Cleaning’’. 

(5) New Sections 749 through 754—

‘‘Architectural and Industrial 

Maintenance Coating’’. 

The April 16, 2004 submittal also 

includes new definitions that were 

added in section 799, a new section 307 

to Chapter 3—to provide for a fee 

penalty pursuant to section 185 of the 

Act, and amendments to Chapters 1, 2, 

6, 7, and 8 to satisfy the Act’s 

requirements for severe ozone 

nonattainment areas pursuant to the 

Metropolitan Washington DC 1-hour 

ozone nonattainment area’s 

reclassification on January 24, 2003, 

from serious to severe nonattainment. 

On September 20, 2004, the District 

supplemented its April 16, 2004 

submittal. This supplemental submittal 

provides copies of standards that are 

incorporated by reference in the 

District’s new and amended regulations 

and a copy of the District’s responses to 

comments it received during its rule 

adoption process. On November 26, 

2004, the District submitted another 

supplemental revision to its April 16, 

2004 submittal. This supplemental 

submittal consists of revised versions of 

the new VOC regulations. These are 

minor revisions to the regulations which 

clarify the standards that are 

incorporated by reference and correct 

cross-referencing and typographical 

errors.

This action pertains only to the 

addition of section 718, Mobile 

Equipment Repair and Refinishing, and 

revised section 799, containing the 

associated definitions for the Mobile 

Equipment Repair and Refinishing 

regulation. The remaining portions of 

the April 16, 2004 submittal and the 

supplemental submittals of September 

20, 2004 and November 26, 2004, are 

the subject of separate rulemaking 

actions. 

I. Background 

As stated previously, this approval 

pertains only to the District’s 

regulations for mobile equipment repair 

and refinishing. The standards and 

requirements contained in the District’s 

regulations for mobile equipment repair 

and refinishing are based on the Ozone 

Transport Commission (OTC). The OTC 

developed control measures into model 

rules for a number of source categories. 

The OTC mobile equipment repair and 

refinishing model rule is based on the 

existing rules developed by the 

California Air Resources Board, which 

were analyzed and modified by the OTC 

workgroup to address VOC reduction 

needs in the Ozone Transport Region 

(OTR). 

II. Summary of SIP Revision 

On April 16, 2004, the District of 

Columbia Department of Health 

submitted a formal revision to its SIP. 

The SIP revision consists of VOC 

emission standards for mobile 

equipment repair and refinishing 

operations in the District of Columbia. 

The District of Columbia mobile 

equipment repair and refinishing rule 

(section 718) applies to each person 

who sells, supplies, offers for sale, 

manufactures or applies repair and 

refinishing or color-matched coatings 

for or to mobile equipment or mobile 

equipment components on or after 

January 1, 2005 in the District of 

Columbia. The rule does not apply to 

the following: (a) where the surface 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 76857

coating process is subject to other 

federal requirements including, but not 

limited to, miscellaneous metal parts 

finishing requirements relating to 

surface coating processes; (b) where the 

surface coating process is at an 

automobile assembly plant; or (c) where 

the person applying the coatings is in a 

non-commercial facility and does not 

receive compensation for the 

application of the coatings. The rule 

mandates that repair and refinishing 

coatings that contain volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) in excess of the 

limits specified below in Table 1, 

including any VOC containing materials 

added to the original coating supplied 

by the manufacturer, shall not be 

applied to mobile equipment or mobile 

equipment components.

Automotive specialty coating ........................................................................................................................... 7.0 840 

* Weight of VOC per Volume of Coating (minus water and non-VOC solvents) 

The regulation also requires that any 

person who sells, supplies, offers for 

sale, or manufactures mobile equipment 

repair and refinishing coatings subject 

to this section, to provide 

documentation with the product 

concerning the VOC content of the 

coatings, in pounds per gallon, 

calculated in accordance with the 

equations provided in this regulation. 

A person at a facility subject to the 

provisions of this regulation must use 

one or more of the following application 

techniques to apply any repair and 

refinishing coatings listed in Table 1: (a) 

Flow/curtain coating, (b) dip coating, (c) 

roller coating, (d) brush coating, (e) 

cotton-tipped swab application, (f) 

electrodeposition coating, (g) high 

volume low pressure (HVLP) spraying, 

(h) electrostatic spray, (i) airless spray, 

or ((j) other coating application methods 

that demonstrate emission reductions 

equivalent to HVLP or electrostatic 

spray application methods. 

The regulation also provides 

exemptions from the application 

equipment requirements for spray guns, 

and housekeeping and pollution 

prevention and training measures. The 

District of Columbia’s regulation to 

control emissions from mobile 

equipment repair and refinishing 

operations includes requirements 

sufficient to determine compliance. The 

test methods used to test coatings must 

be the most current approved method at 

the time testing is performed. 

Compliance with the rule will be 

required by January 1, 2005.

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving a revision to the 

District of Columbia SIP which 

establishes VOC emission standards 

from mobile equipment repair and 

refinishing operations. The 

implementation of this rule strengthens 

the District of Columbia SIP, and will 

result in the reduction of VOC 

emissions from mobile equipment repair 

and refinishing operations in the 

District of Columbia. EPA is publishing 

this rule without prior proposal because 

the Agency views this as a 

noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipates no adverse comment. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’

section of today’s Federal Register, EPA 

is publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

SIP revision if adverse comments are 

filed. This rule will be effective on 

February 22, 2005. If EPA receives 

adverse comment, EPA will publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register informing the public that the 

rule will not take effect. EPA will 

address all public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. 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 EPA receives adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

EPA may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

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 proposes 

to approve 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). This rule also does not 

have tribal implications because it will 

not have a substantial direct effect on 

one or more Indian tribes, on the 

relationship between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities between the Federal 

Government and Indian tribes, as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 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 

76858 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Rules and Regulations 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

Federal standard, 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 SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, 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 

SIP submission for failure to use VCS. 

It would thus be inconsistent with 

applicable law for EPA, when it reviews 

a SIP submission, to use VCS in place 

of a SIP 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 

proposed 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.). 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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. This rule is not a 

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

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 February 22, 

2005. 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, pertaining to the 

District of Columbia’s Mobile 

Equipment Repair and Refinishing rule, 

may not be challenged later in 

proceedings to enforce its requirements.
