ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve the ozone 2002 base 

year emissions inventory portion of the 

state implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the South Carolina 

Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on 

April 29, 2010. The emissions inventory 

is included in the ozone attainment 

demonstration that was submitted for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient 

air quality standards (NAAQS) for the 

portion of York County, South Carolina 

that is within the bi-state CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area. The CharlotteGastonia-Rock Hill, North CarolinaSouth Carolina 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘bi-state Charlotte Area’’) is 

comprised of Cabarrus, Gaston, Lincoln, 

Mecklenburg, Rowan, Union and a 

portion of Iredell (Davidson and Coddle 

Creek Townships) Counties in North 

Carolina; and a portion of York County 

in South Carolina. This action is being 

taken pursuant to section 110 of the

1South Carolina withdrew an August 31, 2007, 

attainment demonstration SIP for its portion of the 

Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill 1997 8-hour ozone 

area on December 22, 2008. On April 29, 2010, 

South Carolina resubmitted the attainment 

demonstration SIP for the South Carolina portion of 

the Charlotte-Gastonia-Rock Hill 1997 8-hour ozone 

area. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

II. Analysis of State’s Submittal 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

On July 18, 1997, EPA promulgated a 

revised 8-hour ozone NAAQS of 0.08 

parts per million (ppm). Under EPA’s 

regulations at 40 CFR part 50, the 1997 

8-hour ozone NAAQS is attained when 

the 3-year average of the annual fourth 

highest daily maximum 8-hour average 

ambient air quality ozone 

concentrations is less than or equal to 

0.08 ppm (i.e., 0.084 ppm when 

rounding is considered) (69 FR 23857, 

April 30, 2004). Ambient air quality 

monitoring data for the 3-year period 

must meet a data completeness 

requirement. The ambient air quality 

monitoring data completeness 

requirement is met when the average 

percent of days with valid ambient 

monitoring data is greater than 90 

percent, and no single year has less than 

75 percent data completeness as 

determined in 40 CFR part 50, 

appendix I. 

Upon promulgation of a new or 

revised NAAQS, the CAA requires EPA 

to designate as nonattainment any area 

that is violating the NAAQS, based on 

the three most recent years of ambient 

air quality data at the conclusion of the 

designation process. The bi-state 

Charlotte Area was designated 

nonattainment for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS on April 30, 2004 

(effective June 15, 2004) using 2001– 

2003 ambient air quality data (69 FR 

23857, April 30, 2004). At the time of 

designation the bi-state Charlotte Area 

was classified as a moderate 

nonattainment area for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS. In the April 30, 2004, 

Phase I Ozone Implementation Rule, 

EPA established ozone nonattainment 

area attainment dates based on Table 1 

of section 181(a) of the CAA. This 

established an attainment date six years 

after the June 15, 2004, effective date for 

areas classified as moderate areas for the 

1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment 

designations. Section 181 of the CAA 

explains that the attainment date for 

moderate nonattainment areas shall be 

as expeditiously as practicable, but no 

later than six years after designation, or 

June 15, 2010. Therefore, the bi-state 

Charlotte Area’s original attainment date 

was June 15, 2010. See 69 FR 23951, 

April 30, 2004. 

On April 29, 2010,1 South Carolina 

submitted an attainment demonstration 

and associated reasonably available 

control measures (RACM), a reasonable 

further progress (RFP) plan, contingency 

measures, emissions statement, a 2002 

base year emissions inventory and other 

planning SIP revisions related to 

attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS in the bi-state Charlotte Area 

(hereafter referred to as the ‘‘South 

Carolina’s nonattainment submissions 

for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for 

the bi-state Charlotte Area’’). 

The bi-state Charlotte Area did not 

attain the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS by 

June 15, 2010 (the applicable attainment 

date for moderate nonattainment areas); 

however, the Area qualified for an 

extension of the attainment date. Under 

certain circumstances, the CAA allows 

for extensions of the attainment dates 

prescribed at the time of the original 

nonattainment designation. In 

accordance with CAA section 181(a)(5), 

EPA may grant up to 2 one-year 

extensions of the attainment date under 

specified conditions. On May 31, 2011, 

EPA determined that South Carolina 

met the CAA requirements to obtain a 

one-year extension of the attainment 

date for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS 

for the bi-state Charlotte Area. See 76 FR 

31245. As a result, EPA extended the bistate Charlotte Area’s attainment date 

from June 15, 2010, to June 15, 2011, for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

On November 15, 2011 (76 FR 70656), 

EPA determined the bi-state Charlotte 

Area attained the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS; and subsequently, on March 7, 

2012 (77 FR 13493), EPA determined 

that the bi-state Charlotte Area attained 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS by the 

applicable attainment date. The 

determination of attaining data was 

based upon complete, quality-assured 

and certified ambient air monitoring 

data for the 2008–2010 period, showing 

that the Area had monitored attainment 

of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The 

requirements for the Area to submit an 

attainment demonstration and 

associated RACM, RFP plan, 

contingency measures, and other 

planning SIP revisions related to 

attainment of the standard were 

suspended as a result of the 

determination of attainment, so long as 

the Area continues to attain the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. See 40 CFR 

52.2125(a). 

On January 12, 2012, South Carolina 

withdrew the South Carolina portion of 

the bi-state Charlotte Area’s attainment 

demonstration (except RFP, emissions 

statement, and the emissions inventory) 

as allowed by 40 CFR 51.918 for its 

portion of this Area; however, the 

emissions inventory requirement found 

in CAA section 182(a)(1), which 

requires submission and approval of a 

comprehensive, accurate, and current 

inventory of actual emissions, is not 

suspended by a determination of 

attainment. Accordingly, South Carolina 

has not withdrawn its emission 

inventory for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS, and EPA is now taking direct 

final action to approve this portion of 

the SIP revision submitted by the State 

of South Carolina on April 29, 2010, as 

required by section 182(a)(1). 

II. Analysis of State’s Submittal 

As discussed above, section 182(a)(1) 

of the CAA requires areas to submit a 

comprehensive, accurate and current 

inventory of actual emissions from all 

sources of the relevant pollutant or 

pollutants in such area. South Carolina 

selected 2002 as base year for the 

emissions inventory pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.915. Emissions contained in South 

Carolina’s portion of the bi-state 

Charlotte attainment plan cover the 

general source categories of stationary 

point and area sources, non-road and 

on-road mobile sources. A detailed 

discussion of the emissions inventory 

development and point source 

emissions can be found in Appendix E 

of the South Carolina submittal; which 

can be found in the docket for today’s 

action using Docket ID No. EPA–R04– 

OAR–2008–0177. The 2002 nitrogen 

oxides (NOX) baseline emissions 

inventory, for the partial county 

emissions for York can be found in 

Appendix P of the submittal. The 2002 

volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

baseline emissions inventory for the 

partial county emissions for York can be 

found in Appendix O of the submittal. 

The table below provides a summary of 

the annual 2002 emissions of NOX and 

VOCs.

* Only part of York County is in the nonattainment area. 

The 182(a)(1) emissions inventory is 

developed by the incorporation of data 

from multiple sources. States were 

required to develop and submit to EPA 

a triennial emissions inventory 

according to the Consolidated Emissions 

Reporting Rule for all source categories 

(i.e., point, area, non-road mobile and 

on-road mobile). This inventory often 

forms the basis of data that are updated 

with more recent information and data 

that also is used in their attainment 

demonstration modeling inventory. 

Such was the case in the development 

of the 2002 emissions inventory that 

was submitted in the State’s attainment 

demonstration SIP for this Area. The 

2002 emissions inventory was based on 

data developed with the Visibility 

Improvement State and Tribal 

Association of the Southeast (VISTAS) 

contractors and submitted by the States 

to the 2002 National Emissions 

Inventory. Several iterations of the 2002 

inventories were developed for the 

different emissions source categories 

resulting from revisions and updates to 

the data. Data from many databases, 

studies and models (e.g., vehicle miles 

traveled, fuel programs, the NONROAD 

2002 model data for commercial marine 

vessels, locomotives and Clean Air 

Market Division, etc.) resulted in the 

inventory submitted in this SIP. The 

data were developed according to 

current EPA emissions inventory 

guidance ‘‘Emissions Inventory 

Guidance for Implementation of Ozone 

and Particulate Matter National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS) and Regional Haze 

Regulations’’ (August 2005) and a 

quality assurance project plan that was 

developed through VISTAS and 

approved by EPA. EPA agrees that the 

process used to develop this inventory 

was adequate to meet the requirements 

of CAA section 182(a)(1) and the 

implementing regulations. 

EPA has reviewed South Carolina’s 

emissions inventory for its portion of 

the bi-state Charlotte Area for the 1997 

8-hour ozone NAAQS and finds that it 

is adequate for the purposes of meeting 

section 182(a)(1) emissions inventory 

requirement. The emissions inventory is 

approvable because the emissions were 

developed consistent with the CAA, 

implementing regulations and EPA 

guidance for emission inventories. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the 2002 base year 

emissions inventory portion of South 

Carolina’s 1997 8-hour ozone attainment 

demonstration SIP revision for the bistate Charlotte Area submitted by the 

State of South Carolina on April 29, 

2010. This action is being taken 

pursuant to section 110 of the CAA. On 

March 12, 2008, EPA issued a revised 

ozone NAAQS. See 73 FR 16436. The 

current action, however, is being taken 

to address requirements under the 1997 

8-hour ozone NAAQS. Requirements for 

the South Carolina portion of the 

Charlotte Area under the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS will be addressed in the future. 

EPA is publishing this rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. However, in the proposed 

rules section of this Federal Register 

publication, EPA is publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposal to approve the SIP revision 

should adverse comments be filed. This 

rule will be effective July 17, 2012 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives adverse comments by 

June 18, 2012. 

If EPA receives such comments, then 

EPA will publish a document 

withdrawing the final rule and 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. All public comments 

received will then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Parties 

interested in commenting should do so 

at this time. If no such comments are 

received, the public is advised that this 

rule will be effective on July 17, 2012 

and no further action will be taken on 

the proposed rule. 

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 

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 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, 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 emissions inventory 

for the bi-state Charlotte Area does not 

have Tribal implications as specified by 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 97 / Friday, May 18, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 29543 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because it does not 

have substantial direct effects on an 

Indian Tribe. The Catawba Indian 

Nation Reservation is located within the 

South Carolina portion of the bi-state 

Charlotte Area. Pursuant to the Catawba 

Indian Claims Settlement Act, S.C. Code 

Ann. 27–16–120, ‘‘all state and local 

environmental laws and regulations 

apply to the [Catawba Indian Nation] 

and Reservation and are fully 

enforceable by all relevant state and 

local agencies and authorities.’’ EPA 

notes today’s action 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 July 17, 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).

Natamycin; Exemption From the 

Requirement of a Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of the 

biochemical, natamycin, in or on 

mushrooms when applied as a fungistat 

to prevent the germination of fungal 

spores on mushrooms produced in 

mushroom production facilities. DSM 

Food Specialties B.V. (DSM) submitted 

a petition to EPA under the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for such residues of natamycin. 

DATES: This regulation is effective May 

18, 2012. Objections and requests for 

hearings must be received on or before
