I. What action is EPA taking? 

A. Summary of Final Action 

EPA is taking final action to approve 

the Montana State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) and rules submitted to EPA on 

September 23, 2011. This submission 

contained revisions to ARM 17.8.744, 

and new rules I–VI, codified as ARM 

17.8.1601, 17.8.1602, 17.8.1603, 

17.8.1604, 17.8.1605, and 17.8.1606, 

pertaining to the regulation of oil and 

gas well facilities. The Montana Board 

of Environmental Review (Board) 

adopted these revisions to existing SIP 

revisions and new rules on December 2, 

2005 and they became effective on 

January 1, 2006. This submission also 

contains new rules I–IX, codified as 

ARM 17.8.1701, 17.8.1702, 17.8.1703, 

17.8.1704, 17.8.1705, 17.8.1710, 

17.8.1711, 17.8.1712 and 17.8.1713 

pertaining to the regulation of oil and 

gas well facilities. The Board adopted 

these revisions to existing SIP revisions 

and new rules on March 23, 2006 and 

they became effective on April 7, 2006. 

The new rules and revisions meet the 

requirements of the Act and EPA’s 

minor NSR regulations. 

EPA proposed action for the above 

SIP revision submittals on November 

13, 2012 (77 FR 67596). We accepted 

comments from the public on this 

proposal from November 14, 2012, until 

December 13, 2012. A summary of the 

comments received and our evaluation 

thereof is discussed in section III below. 

In the proposed rule, we described our 

basis for the actions identified above. 

The reader should refer to the proposed 

rule, and sections IV and V of this 

preamble, for additional information 

regarding this final action. 

EPA reviews a SIP revision 

submission for its compliance with the 

Act and EPA regulations. CAA 

110(k)(3). We evaluated the submitted 

new and revised rules based upon the 

regulations and associated record that 

have been submitted and are currently 

before EPA. In order for EPA to ensure 

that Montana has a program that meets 

the requirements of the CAA, the State 

must demonstrate the program is as 

stringent as the Act and the 

implementing regulations discussed in 

this notice. For example, EPA must have 

sufficient information to make a finding 

that the new program will ensure 

protection of the NAAQS, and 

noninterference with the Montana SIP 

control strategies, as required by section 

110(l) of the Act. The provisions in 

these submittals were not submitted to 

meet a mandatory requirement of the 

Act. 

II. What is the background? 

A. Brief Discussion of Statutory and 

Regulatory Requirements 

The CAA (section 110(a)(2)(C)) and 40 

CFR 51.160 require states to have legally 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 19, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 69297 

enforceable procedures to prevent 

construction or modification of a source 

if it would violate any SIP control 

strategies or interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Such 

minor NSR programs are for pollutants 

from stationary sources that do not 

require Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration (PSD) or nonattainment 

NSR permits. States may customize the 

requirements of the minor NSR program 

as long as their program meets 

minimum requirements. 

Section 110(l) of the CAA states: 

‘‘[e]ach revision to an implementation 

plan submitted by a State under this Act 

shall be adopted by such State after 

reasonable notice and public hearing. 

The Administrator shall not approve a 

revision to a plan if the revision would 

interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and 

reasonable further progress (as defined 

in section 171), or any other applicable 

requirement of this chapter.’’ 

The States’ obligation to comply with 

each of the NAAQS is considered as 

‘‘any applicable requirement(s) 

concerning attainment.’’ A 

demonstration is necessary to show that 

this SIP revision will not interfere with 

attainment or maintenance of the 

NAAQS, including those for ozone, 

particulate matter, carbon monoxide 

(CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2), lead, 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) or any other 

requirement of the Act. Montana’s 

demonstration of noninterference (see 

docket), as submitted to EPA on 

September 23, 2011, provides sufficient 

basis that the inclusion of the new rules 

and revisions, as described in section I 

of this preamble, will not interfere with 

attainment, reasonable further progress 

(RFP), or any other applicable 

requirement of the CAA. Further details 

are provided in sections IV and V of this 

action. 

B. Summary of the Submittal Addressed 

in This Final Action 

The final action to approve the new 

and revised rules as described in section 

I of this preamble, hereafter referred to 

as ‘‘the program’’, would establish a 

registration system for certain facilities 

that presently require a minor NSR air 

quality permit under the SIP 

regulations. The new and revised rules 

would establish a general registration 

system for oil and gas well facilities and 

would allow the owner or operator of an 

oil or gas well facility to register with 

the Montana Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ) in lieu 

of submitting a permit application and 

obtaining a permit to construct or 

modify the source. Currently, with 

specific exemptions, the administrative 

rules adopted under the Clean Air Act 

of Montana and approved by the EPA 

into the SIP, require the owner or 

operator of sources of air pollution to 

obtain a permit prior to construction or 

modification. 

Montana originally submitted these 

rules on October 16, 2006, and 

November 1, 2006 to EPA for inclusion 

into the SIP. EPA proposed action on 

these submittals on January 6, 2011 (76 

FR 758). EPA had several concerns with 

the Program, as was explained in 76 FR 

758. Montana withdrew the October 16, 

2006, and November 1, 2006, submittals 

in March of 2011 and resubmitted the 

Program on September 23, 2011. The 

September 23, 2011, submittal 

contained a 110(l) demonstration, as 

well as other supplemental data, which 

addressed EPA’s concerns that were 

raised in 76 FR 758. 

III. Response to Comments 

In response to our November 13, 2012 

proposal, we received comments from 

the following: Montana Petroleum 

Association, Inc. (MPA); True Oil LLC; 

and the Montana Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ). 

A. MPA 

Comment: Commenter states MPA has 

reviewed the proposed approval found 

at 77 FR 67596 and agrees with EPA’s 

proposal to approve the program as 

submitted on September 23, 2011. MPA 

encourages EPA to promptly incorporate 

the new and revised rules, as outlined 

in 77 FR 67596, into the Montana SIP. 

MPA notes that the new and revised 

rules provide a workable alternative to 

the Montana air quality permitting 

program and that the program meets the 

requirements of CAA section 110(l) of 

the Federal Clean Air Act and other 

applicable requirements. MPA outlined 

specific federal requirements and 

demonstrations from 77 FR 67596 in 

which they agree with EPA’s proposed 

conclusions. For those reasons, MPA 

concurs with EPA’s proposed action. 

MPA further notes they had 

previously submitted comments to EPA 

in regard to the incorporation of 

Subchapters 16 and 17 into the 

Montana SIP. Those comments and 

analysis are contained in the Docket ID: 

EPA–R08–OAR–2007–0662, which were 

in response to our January 6, 2011, 

proposed action. MPA notes that their 

analysis is similar to that submitted by 

MDEQ; MPA’s analysis also reviewed 

ambient air quality data around the 

state and compared this data to data 

collected near oil and gas sites. MPA 

wishes to incorporate by reference their 

previous comments and analysis as 

contained in EPA–R08–OAR–2007–0662 

into their comments for this rulemaking. 

Response: We acknowledge receipt of 

these comments and the support for our 

proposal for approval. We also 

acknowledge receipt of the comments 

submitted by MPA which are contained 

in EPA–R08–OAR–2007–0662 and 

hereby incorporate those comments by 

reference into MPA’s comments for this 

rulemaking. 

B. True Oil, LLC 

Comment: Commenter states that they 

support EPA’s proposed rule found in 

77 FR 67596 to approve the inclusion of 

Montana’s Subchapters 16 and 17 into 

the Montana SIP. The commenter states 

they fully concur with EPA’s review of 

those rules and that they meet all 

obligations under the Federal Clean Air 

Act for incorporation into a state SIP. 

Response: We acknowledge receipt of 

these comments and the support for our 

proposal for approval. 

C. MDEQ 

Comment: Commenter states that they 

support EPA’s proposed rule found in 

77 FR 67596 to approve the inclusion of 

Montana’s Subchapters 16 and 17 into 

the Montana SIP. The commenter states 

that Montana’s Oil and Gas Registration 

program represents advanced regulatory 

ideas for stewardship and sustainability 

and that the program is an innovative, 

efficient method for ensuring sources 

install and operate emission control 

equipment that protects and improves 

air quality. The commenter also states 

they appreciate the time EPA invested 

in reviewing and studying the issues 

around Montana’s Oil and Gas 

Registration program. 

Response: We acknowledge receipt of 

these comments and the support for our 

proposal for approval. EPA recognizes 

that approval of an oil and gas 

registration program is a priority for the 

State; EPA also indicates its support for 

registration/permit-by-rule programs as 

they provide efficiencies and 

environmental benefits. EPA commends 

MDEQ for periodically revising their SIP 

in order to adapt to environmental, 

economic and social changes, and 

recognizing the need for a more 

collaborative, flexible, and performance 

based regulatory strategy to meet the 

regulatory challenge posed by 

Montana’s oil and gas industry. EPA 

also commends Montana’s work in 

developing an approvable program that 

is consistent with CAA and regulatory 

requirements. 


TKELLEY on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
69298 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 223 / Tuesday, November 19, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

IV. What are the grounds for this 

approval action? 

EPA evaluated the new rules and 

revisions, as described in section I of 

this preamble, using the following: 

(1) The statutory requirements under 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(c), which 

requires states to include a minor NSR 

program in their SIP to regulate 

modifications and new construction of 

stationary sources within the area as 

necessary to assure the NAAQS are 

achieved; 

(2) The regulatory requirements under 

40 CFR 51.160, including section 

51.160(a), which require that the SIP 

include legally enforceable procedures 

that enable a state or local agency to 

determine whether construction or 

modification of a facility, building, 

structure or installation, or combination 

of these will result in a violation of 

applicable portions of the control 

strategy; or interference with attainment 

or maintenance of a national standard in 

the state in which the proposed source 

(or modification) is located or in a 

neighboring state; section 51.160(b), 

which requires states to have legally 

enforceable procedures to prevent 

construction or modification of a source 

if it would violate any SIP control 

strategies or interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the NAAQS; and 

(3) The statutory requirements under 

CAA section 110(l), which provides that 

EPA cannot approve a SIP revision if the 

revision would interfere with any 

applicable requirement concerning 

attainment and RFP, or any other 

applicable requirement of the CAA. 

Therefore, EPA will approve a SIP 

revision only after a state has 

demonstrated that such a revision will 

not interfere (‘‘noninterference’’) with 

attainment of the NAAQS, RFP or any 

other applicable requirement of the 

CAA. In this instance, EPA asked the 

State to submit an analysis showing that 

the new rules and revisions, as 

described in section I of this preamble, 

would not violate section 110(l) of the 

CAA (see docket); this is also referred to 

as a ‘‘demonstration of noninterference’’ 

with attainment and maintenance under 

CAA section 110(l). The scope and rigor 

of the demonstration of noninterference 

conducted in support of this notice is 

appropriate given the air quality status 

of the State, and the potential impact of 

the revision on air quality and the 

pollutants affected. 

As EPA described in this preamble 

and in the proposed notice (77 FR 

67596), the new rules and revisions we 

are taking final action to approve meet 

the requirements of CAA section 

110(a)(2)(c) and 40 CFR 51.160. In 

addition, the State’s September 23, 

2011, demonstration of noninterference 

indicates that incorporating the new 

rules and revisions, as described in 

section I of this preamble, will not 

interfere with attainment of the NAAQS, 

RFP, or any other applicable 

requirement of the CAA. 

V. Final Action 

EPA is taking final action to approve 

the new and revised rules as submitted 

by Montana on September 23, 2011, 

based upon three criteria. First, the State 

provided sufficient information to 

determine that the requested revision to 

add the new oil and gas registration 

program to the Montana Minor NSR SIP 

will not interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and 

RFP as required by CAA section 110(l), 

or any other requirement of the Act; 

Second, the new rules comply with 

CAA section 110(a)(2)(C), which 

requires states to include a minor NSR 

program in their SIP to regulate 

modifications and new construction of 

stationary sources within the area as 

necessary to assure the NAAQS are 

achieved; Third, the new rules comply 

with 40 CFR 51.160. 

VI. 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 final 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, 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 rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

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 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 January 21, 2014. 

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. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to

SUMMARY: On June 24, 2011, Ohio 

Environmental Protection Agency (Ohio 

EPA) submitted for Clean Air Act (CAA) 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

approval, revisions to Ohio 

Administrative Code (OAC) rules: 3745– 

18–01, 3745–18–03 to 3745–18–52, 

3745–18–54 to 3745–18–77, 3745–18– 

79, 3745–18–81 to 3745–18–89, and 

3745–18–91 to 3745–18–94. The rule 

revisions primarily update facility 

information and remove SO2

requirements for shutdown facilities 

throughout the SIP. EPA believes that 

the revisions improve the clarity of the 

rule without affecting the stringency 

and therefore is approving all of the 

submitted revisions except for specific 

paragraphs in OAC 3745–18–04. 

DATES: This rule is effective January 21,

Instructions: Direct your comments to 

Docket ID No. EPA–R05–OAR–2011– 

0672. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the docket 

are listed in the www.regulations.gov 

index. Although listed in the index, 

some information is not publicly 

available, e.g., CBI or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, will be publicly 

available only in hard copy. Publicly 

available docket materials are available 

either electronically in 

www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at

Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 

West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 

Illinois 60604. This facility is open from 

8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through 

Friday, excluding Federal holidays. We 

recommend that you telephone Sarah 

Arra, Environmental Scientist, at (312)
