1The criteria pollutants are ozone (O3), nitrogen 

oxides (represented by nitrogen dioxide (NO2)), 

sulfur oxides (represented by sulfur dioxide (SO2)), 

carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter 

(represented by total suspended particulates (TSP), 

particulates (PM10), and fine particulates (PM2.5)), 

and lead (Pb). Note that Illinois also has air quality 

standard and monitoring rules for ‘‘coarse 

particulate matter’’ (PM2.5–10), although this is not 

a criteria pollutant and is generally considered to 

be included in PM10. 

security zones are no longer needed, the 

COTP or designated representative will 

cease enforcement of the security zones. 

Upon suspension of enforcement, all 

persons and vessels are granted general 

permissions to enter, move within, and 

exit the security zones, but should 

remain cognizant of the applicable 

restricted area designated in 33 CFR 

334.1110.

Updates 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving revised rules 

submitted by the State of Illinois as 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revisions. The submitted rules update 

Illinois’ ambient air quality standards to 

include the 2012 primary National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) 

for fine particulate matter (PM2.5), add 

EPA-promulgated monitoring methods, 

and address the ‘‘sunset provisions’’ in 

our regulations. In addition, the revised 

rules contain the timing requirements 

for the ‘‘flagging of exceptional events’’ 

and the submitting of documentation 

supporting the determination of 

exceptional events for the 2012 primary 

annual PM2.5 standard. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective August 9, 2016, unless EPA 

receives adverse comments by July 11, 

2016. If adverse comments are received 

by EPA, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that the rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section is arranged as follows: 

I. When and why did the State make these 

submittals? 

II. What are the State rule revisions? 

A. April 23, 2015, Submittal—Rule Revision 

Group R14–06 

B. December 18, 2014, Submittal—Rule 

Revision Group R14–17 

III. Did the State hold public hearings for 

these submittals? 

IV. What is EPA’s analysis of the State’s 

submittals? 

V. What action is EPA taking? 

VI. Incorporation by Reference 

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. When and why did the State make 

these submittals? 

Section 109 of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) requires EPA to establish 

national primary (protective of human 

health) and secondary (protective of 

human welfare) air quality standards for 

pollutants for which air quality criteria 

have been issued under Section 108 of 

the CAA (the criteria pollutants 1). 

Individually and collectively these 

standards are referred to as NAAQS. 

Section 109(d)(1) of the CAA requires 

EPA to review, and if necessary, based 

on accumulated health and welfare data, 

to revise each NAAQS every five years. 

If a NAAQS is revised, states whose 

rules include state air quality standards 

may revise their rules to address the 

revised NAAQS and associated 

monitoring requirements, and submit 

them to EPA as SIP revision requests. 

See, e.g., 415 ILCS 5/10(H). 

On December 18, 2014, the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(IEPA) submitted to EPA for approval as 

SIP revisions updates to the methods 

used by Illinois to monitor air quality 

for several NAAQS. These updates 

correspond to EPA’s revised monitoring 

methods promulgated during the period 

of July 1, 2013, through December 31, 

2013. The Illinois Pollution Control 

Board (IPCB) adopted these rule 

revisions on June 5, 2014, as rule 

revision group R14–17. 

On April 23, 2015, IEPA submitted to 

EPA for approval as SIP revisions an 

additional update to include the 2012 

primary annual and 24-hour PM2.5

NAAQS and a provision incorporating 

by reference EPA-promulgated 

monitoring methods. These rule updates 

correspond to the NAAQS and 

monitoring methods promulgated by 

EPA during the period of January 1, 

2013, through June 30, 2013, and on 

July 3, 2013, and August 5, 2013. This 

state submittal also addressed the 

‘‘sunset provisions’’ of 40 CFR 50.4(e), 

finding that the 1971 NAAQS for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) no longer applies to the 

Lemont and Pekin areas in Illinois. 

Finally, the revised rules contain the 

timing requirements for the ‘‘flagging of 

exceptional events’’ and the submitting 

of documentation supporting the 

determination of exceptional events for 

the 2012 primary annual PM2.5 standard. 

The IPCB adopted these rule revisions 

on September 5, 2013, as rule revision 

group R14–6. 

II. What are the State rule revisions? 

A. April 23, 2015, Submittal—Rule 

Revision Group R14–06 

The rule revisions contained in the 

April 23, 2015 submittal are 

summarized below. 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
37518 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

2The ‘‘List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods’’ is an EPA Web page that lists 

all FRMs and FEMs by pollutant and documents the 

Federal rulemakings that promulgated the 

monitoring methods. Other than the Federal 

Register notices for these rulemakings, it is the only 

comprehensive source of FEMS designated by EPA. 

35 IAC 243.107. Reference Conditions 

Illinois amended this section to apply 

applicable monitoring requirements to 

the 2012 primary annual and 24-hour 

PM2.5 NAAQS, which Illinois codified at 

35 IAC 243.120(d). Volume 35 of the 

Illinois Administrative Code section 

243.107 (35 IAC 243.107) sets forth the 

reference air temperature and reference 

pressure measurements to determine air 

quality concentrations of monitored air 

pollutants, and mirrors the requirements 

of title 40 of the Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) 50.3. Among other 

things, this section requires that 

measurements of PM2.5 must be reported 

based on actual ambient air volume 

measured at actual temperature and 

pressure at the monitoring site. See also 

the discussion of 35 IAC 243.120(d), 

below. 

35 IAC 243.108. Incorporations by 

Reference 

Illinois updated 35 IAC 243.108 to 

incorporate by reference the 2013 

versions of appendices A–1, A–2, B, C, 

D, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, N, O, P, Q, R, S, 

and T of 40 CFR part 50. These 

appendices contain the reference 

monitoring methods for and the 

‘‘interpretation’’ of (i.e., data handling 

conventions and computations) the 

ambient standards for the criteria air 

pollutants. 

EPA made two changes in the 2013 

versions of these appendices relative to 

the 2012 versions. First, EPA revised the 

appendix G reference method for the 

determination of lead in suspended 

particulate matter (78 FR 40000, July 3, 

2013). Second, EPA revised appendix N 

for the data handling conventions and 

computations necessary for determining 

when the primary and secondary 

NAAQS for PM2.5 are met. 78 FR 3086, 

3277–3281 (January 15, 2013). Illinois’ 

rule revisions incorporate by reference 

these amended CFR appendices. 

Additionally, Illinois references an 

August 5, 2013, (78 FR 47191) EPA 

Federal Register document as revising 

appendix N of 40 CFR part 50. However, 

EPA’s August 5, 2013 Federal Register 

document establishes area designations 

for the 2010 SO2 primary NAAQS, and 

does not address or relate to appendix 

N. Therefore, this rule revision contains 

an incorrect reference to EPA 

rulemaking, and is further discussed in 

Section IV, below. 

35 IAC 243.120. PM10 and PM2.5

Illinois added Subsection (d) to 

incorporate EPA’s 2012 primary annual 

and 24-hour NAAQS for PM2.5. These 

revised PM2.5 standards include an 

annual average level of 12 micrograms 

per cubic meter and a 24-hour average 

level of 35 micrograms per cubic meter. 

See 78 FR 3086 (January 15, 2013). 

Consistent with 40 CFR 50.13, this 

section also requires that the revised 

PM2.5 standards be measured by either 

a Federal Reference Method (FRM) 

based on appendix L of 40 CFR part 50, 

incorporated by reference in 35 IAC 

243.108, or a Federal Equivalent Method 

(FEM) designated by EPA in accordance 

with 40 CFR part 53 and listed in EPA’s 

‘‘List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods,’’ which is also 

incorporated by reference in 35 IAC 

243.108.2 See http://www3.epa.gov/

ttnamti1/files/ambient/criteria/

reference-equivalent-methods-list.pdf. 

35 IAC 243.122. Sulfur Oxides (Sulfur 

Dioxide) 

Illinois amended the IPCB Board Note 

in subsection (a)(5) to address the 

‘‘sunset provisions’’ in 40 CFR 50.4(e). 

Under 40 CFR 50.4(e), the 1971 primary 

annual and 24-hour NAAQS for SO2 no 

longer apply to the Lemont and Pekin 

areas, effective October 4, 2014, 

because: (1) One year has passed since 

EPA designated these areas as 

nonattainment for the 2010 primary 1- 

hour SO2 NAAQS, effective October 3, 

2013; (2) these areas were not 

designated as nonattainment for the 

1971 SO2 NAAQS as of June 22, 2010; 

and (3) there has not been a SIP call for 

the 1971 SO2 NAAQS for these areas. 

See 75 FR 47191 (August 5, 2013). The 

1971 SO2 NAAQS continues to apply for 

other areas in Illinois until these areas 

meet the sunset provisions specified in 

40 CFR 50.4(e). 

35 IAC 243. Table A. Schedule of 

Exceptional Event Flagging and 

Documentation Submission for New or 

Revised NAAQS 

Illinois has amended Table A to add 

the flagging deadlines by year for the 

2012 annual PM2.5 standard adopted in 

2012 and promulgated on January 15, 

2013 (78 FR 3086). For PM2.5 data 

collected in 2010 and 2011, the 

exceptional events were required to be 

flagged and described by July 1, 2013, 

and supported by complete 

documentation by December 12, 2013. 

For PM2.5 data collected in 2012, the 

exceptional events were required to be 

flagged and described by July 1, 2013, 

and supported by complete 

documentation by December 12, 2013. 

For PM2.5 data collected in 2013, the 

exceptional events were required to be 

flagged and described by July 1, 2014, 

and supported by complete 

documentation by August 1, 2014. The 

flagging and demonstration submittal 

deadlines are the same as the deadlines 

provided in Table 1 in 40 CFR 50.14. 

Table A lists the deadlines for 

exceptional event flagging and 

documentation of such flagging by 

pollutant standard. Under 40 CFR 50.14, 

a state may request that EPA exclude 

data showing violations or exceedances 

of the NAAQS from air quality 

determinations if the state can 

demonstrate to EPA’s satisfaction that 

these violations or exceedances were 

due to exceptional events unlikely to 

reoccur and cause additional violations 

of the NAAQS at any monitoring site. 

Where such an event has occurred, the 

state may flag air quality data affected 

by the event and request that EPA 

approve the exclusion of these data from 

further air quality determinations, 

including designation of nonattainment 

areas and assessment of air quality data 

used for purposes of redesignation to 

attainment. The criteria for approval of 

exceptional event exclusion are given in 

40 CFR 50.14(b) and the schedule and 

procedures for data flagging by the state 

are discussed in 40 CFR 50.14(c). 

B. December 18, 2014, Submittal—Rule 

Revision Group R14–17 

The rule revisions contained in the 

December 18, 2014, submittal are 

summarized below. 

35 IAC 243.108. Incorporations by 

Reference 

Illinois revised this section to 

incorporate by reference EPA’s updated 

‘‘List of Designated Reference and 

Equivalent Methods’’ from June 27, 

2013, to December 17, 2013. On 

December 17, 2013, EPA issued an 

updated version of the ‘‘List of 

Designated Reference and Equivalent 

Methods’’ that includes five new FEMs 

for monitoring of PM10, PM2.5–10, PM2.5, 

and oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 

promulgated by EPA. See 78 FR 67360 

(November 12, 2013). More specifically, 

EPA promulgated the following FEMs: 

(1) For PM2.5–10, Automated Equivalent 

Method EQPM–1013–207 (‘‘Thermo 

Scientific TEOM® 1405-Dichotomous 

Ambient Particulate Monitor with 

FDMS’’); (2) for PM10, Automated 

Equivalent Method EQPM–1013–208 

(‘‘Thermo Scientific TEOM® 1405- 

Dichotomous Ambient Particulate 

Monitor with FDMS’’); (3) for PM2.5, 

Automated Equivalent Method EQPM– 

1013–209 (‘‘Met One BAM–1022 Real 

Time Beta Attenuation Mass MonitorVerDate Sep<11>2014 16:32 Jun 09, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\10JNR1.SGM 10JNR1

Automated Equivalent Method EQNA– 

1013–210 (‘‘Environment S.A. Model 

MP101M PM2.5 Beta Attenuation 

Monitor’’); and (4) for NOx, Automated 

Equivalent Method EQNA–1013–210 

(‘‘Environment S.A. Model AS32M 

cavity attenuated phase shift 

spectroscopy Nitrogen Dioxide 

Analyzer’’). Illinois also added a 

statement to 35 IAC 243.108 that the 

incorporation by reference of EPA’s 

promulgated monitoring methods ‘‘does 

not include USEPA methods approvals 

that occurred after December 17, 2013.’’ 

III. Did the State hold public hearings 

for these submittals? 

Illinois held a public hearing for the 

rule changes discussed in the December 

18, 2014, submittal (R14–17) on May 7, 

2014. Illinois held a public hearing for 

the rule revisions discussed in the April 

23, 2015, submittal (R14–6) on October 

31, 2013. The state received one 

comment for the R14–6 rule revisions in 

support of adoption of the proposed rule 

revisions. 

IV. What is EPA’s analysis of the State’s 

submittals? 

EPA finds the state’s requested SIP 

revisions to be acceptable because the 

state’s rule revisions make the state’s air 

quality standards and associated 

monitoring requirements identical-insubstance to EPA’s promulgated 

NAAQS and monitoring methods, as 

revised through December 17, 2013. 

Additionally, EPA finds that the 

specified exceptional event flagging and 

demonstration submittal deadlines are 

acceptable because they are consistent 

with the deadlines in 40 CFR 50.14. 

EPA also agrees with Illinois’ 

application of the ‘‘sunset provisions’’ 

in 40 CFR 50.4(e) to the Lemont and 

Pekin areas. EPA has designated the 

Lemont and Pekin areas as 

nonattainment for the 2010 SO2

NAAQS, which means that Illinois must 

submit a regulation for SIP approval that 

meets Federal requirements and that 

provides for attainment of the 2010 SO2

NAAQS in these areas no later than 

October 4, 2018. The 1971 SO2 NAAQS 

no longer applies to the Lemont and 

Pekin areas because EPA designated the 

Lemont and Pekin areas as 

nonattainment for the 2010 SO2

NAAQS, these areas were not 

designated as nonattainment for the 

1971 SO2 NAAQS as of June 22, 2010, 

and there has not been a SIP call for the 

1971 SO2 NAAQS. See 78 FR 47192. 

Finally, as discussed above, the state’s 

rule revisions to 35 IAC 243.108 

incorrectly cite an August 5, 2013 EPA 

rulemaking at 78 FR 47191 as amending 

appendix N to 40 CFR part 50. 

Appendix N sets forth the data handling 

and computational requirements needed 

to demonstrate compliance with the 

2012 PM2.5 NAAQS. The August 5, 

2013, EPA rulemaking establishes area 

designations for the 2010 SO2 NAAQS, 

but does not amend appendix N to 40 

CFR part 50. Although this citation is 

incorrect, we are still approving the 

submission because Illinois has also 

incorporated by reference the 2013 

version of appendix N to 40 CFR part 50 

at 35 IAC 243.108. Appendix N, as 

codified in the CFR, contains the 

reference monitoring methods for SO2

under the 2010 NAAQS and does not 

contain a citation to the August 5, 2013, 

EPA rulemaking. Therefore, it is 

unlikely that the public would be 

confused when determining the 

applicable data handling and 

computational requirements to 

demonstrate compliance with the 2012 

PM2.5 NAAQS. Illinois should correct 

this incorrect citation in a subsequent 

rule revision, but it does not appear to 

present any implementation or 

enforcement issues for the state or EPA. 

V. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving the submitted rule 

revisions as revisions of the Illinois SIP. 

Specifically, we are approving 35 IAC 

sections 243.107, 243.108, 243.120, 

243.122, and 243.Table A revised as 

discussed above, and we are 

incorporating by reference these revised 

rules into the Illinois SIP. 

We are publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a noncontroversial amendment and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register publication, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

state plan if relevant adverse written 

comments are filed. This rule will be 

effective August 9, 2016 without further 

notice unless we receive relevant 

adverse written comments by July 11, 

2016. If we receive such comments, we 

will withdraw this action before the 

effective date by publishing a 

subsequent document that will 

withdraw the final action. All public 

comments received will then be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should 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. If we do not receive any 

comments, this action will be effective 

August 9, 2016. 

VI. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, 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 Illinois Regulations 

described in the amendments to 40 CFR 

part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, 

and will continue to make, these 

documents generally available 

electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

VII. 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 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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); 


asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
37520 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 112 / Friday, June 10, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

• 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, the SIP is 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 

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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by August 9, 2016. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not

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
