navigation position from 5 a.m. to 7 

p.m. from September 19, 2016, through 

September 30, 2016; with alternate dates 

from October 1, 2016, through October 

16, 2016. During this temporary 

deviation, the bridge will operate per 33 

CFR 117.5 from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. 

The James River is used by a variety 

of vessels including deep draft oceangoing vessels, U. S. government vessels, 

small commercial vessels, recreational 

vessels and tug and barge traffic. The 

Coast Guard has carefully coordinated 

the restrictions with waterway users. 

During closure periods a 55-foot by 

150-foot crane barge will be positioned 

alongside the bridge at various locations 

within the main navigation span of the 

bridge with the centerline of the barge 

perpendicular to the bridge. Vessels able 

to safely pass through the bridge in the 

closed position with the crane barge 

positioned alongside the bridge may do 

so at anytime. Vessels planning to 

transit through the bridge in the closed 

position with the crane barge positioned 

alongside the bridge shall contact the 

bridge tender to request information 

concerning the position of the crane 

barge to ensure safe passage. 

Vessels able to safely pass through the 

bridge in the closed position that 

require the crane barge to clear the main 

navigation span of the bridge, may do so 

at noon, daily, if at least two hours 

advance notice is given to the bridge 

tender. The bridge will open on signal 

for vessels that require an opening of the 

bridge and are unable to transit through 

the bridge during non-closure times due 

to draft and/or daylight restrictions, if 

notice is provided by 5 p.m. the day 

before the required bridge opening. The 

bridge will not be able to open for 

emergencies and there is no immediate 

alternate route for vessels to pass. The 

Coast Guard will also inform the users 

of the waterways through our Local and 

Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the 

change in operating schedule for the 

bridge so that vessel operators can 

arrange their transit to minimize any 

impact caused by the temporary 

deviation. 

In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), 

the drawbridge must return to its regular 

operating schedule immediately at the 

end of the effective period of this 

temporary deviation. This deviation 

from the operating regulations is 

authorized under 33 CFR 117.35.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Tropospheric ozone, commonly 

known as smog, occurs when VOC and 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) react in the 

atmosphere in the presence of sunlight. 

Because of the harmful health effects of 

ozone, EPA and state governments limit 

the amount of VOC and NOX that can 

be released into the atmosphere. VOC 

are those compounds of carbon 

(excluding carbon monoxide, carbon 

dioxide, carbonic acid, metallic carbides 

or carbonates, and ammonium 

carbonate) that form ozone through 

atmospheric photochemical reactions. 

Compounds of carbon (or organic 

compounds) have different levels of 

reactivity; they do not react at the same 

speed or do not form ozone to the same 

extent. 

Section 302(s) of the CAA specifies 

that EPA has the authority to define the 

meaning of ‘‘VOC,’’ and hence what 

compounds shall be treated as VOC for 

regulatory purposes. It has been EPA’s 

policy that compounds of carbon with 

negligible reactivity need not be 

regulated to reduce ozone and should be 

excluded from the regulatory definition 

of VOC. See 42 FR 35314 (July 8, 1977), 

70 FR 54046 (September 13, 2005). EPA 

determines whether a given carbon 

compound has ‘‘negligible’’ reactivity by 

comparing the compound’s reactivity to 

the reactivity of ethane. EPA lists these 

compounds in its regulations at 40 CFR 

51.100(s) and excludes them from the 

definition of VOC. The chemicals on 

this list are often called ‘‘negligibly 

reactive.’’ EPA may periodically revise 

the list of negligibly reactive 

compounds to add or delete 

compounds. 

EPA issued a final rule approving the 

addition of trans-1,3,3,3- 

tetrafluropropene (also known as HFO1234ze) to the list of those compounds 

excluded from the regulatory definition 

of VOC. See 77 FR 37610 (June 22, 

2012). Alabama is updating its SIP to be 

consistent with that change to federal 

regulations. 

II. Analysis of State’s Submittal 

On May 8, 2013, ADEM submitted a 

SIP revision 1 to EPA for review and 

approval. The revision modifies the 

definition of VOC found at Alabama 

Administrative Code section 335–3–1– 

.02(gggg). Specifically, the revision adds 

trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluropropene (also 

known as HFO-1234ze) to the list of 

compounds excluded from the VOC 

definition on the basis that this 

compound makes a negligible 

contribution to tropospheric ozone 

formation. 

This change is consistent with section 

110 of the CAA and meets the regulatory 

requirements pertaining to SIPs. 

Pursuant to CAA section 110(l), the 

Administrator shall not approve a 

revision of a plan if the revision would 

interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and 

reasonable further progress (as defined 

in CAA section 171), or any other 

applicable requirement of the Act. The 

revision to Rule 335–3–1–.02(gggg) is 

approvable under section 110(l) because 

it reflects changes to federal regulations 

based on findings that the 

aforementioned compound is negligibly 

reactive. 

III. 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 Alabama Regulation 

section 335–3–1–.02 ‘‘Definitions,’’ 

effective November 24, 2015, which is 

the most up to date version of the 

definition of VOC.2 Therefore, this 

material has been approved by EPA for 

inclusion in the SIP, has been 

incorporated by reference by EPA into 

that plan, is fully federally enforceable 

under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA 

as of the effective date of the final 

rulemaking of EPA’s approval, and will 

be incorporated by reference by the 

Director of the Federal Register in the 

next update to the SIP compilation.3

EPA has made, and will continue to 

make, these materials generally 

available through www.regulations.gov 

and/or at the EPA Region 4 Office 

(please contact the person identified in 

the ‘‘For Further Information Contact’’ 

section of this preamble for more 

information). 

IV. Final Action 

Pursuant to section 110 of the CAA, 

EPA is approving the revision to the 

Alabama SIP changing the VOC 

definition. EPA has evaluated 

Alabama’s May 8, 2013, submittal and 

has determined that it meets the 

applicable requirements of the CAA and 

EPA regulations and is consistent with 

EPA policy. 

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 November 15, 2016 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives adverse comments by 

October 17, 2016. 

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 November 15, 

2016 and no further action will be taken 

on the proposed rule. 

V. 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. 

See 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); 


Lhorne on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 180 / Friday, September 16, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 63703 

• 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). 

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 as specified by Executive 

Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 

2000), nor will it 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 November 15, 2016. 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 this 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).

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking final action to 

approve portions of the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, 

submitted by the State of South 

Carolina, through the South Carolina 

Department of Health and 

Environmental Control (SC DHEC) on 

April 30, 2014, to demonstrate that the 

State meets certain infrastructure 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or Act) for the 2010 1-hour nitrogen 

dioxide (NO2) national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS). The CAA 

requires that each state adopt and 

submit a SIP for the implementation, 

maintenance and enforcement of each 

NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is 

commonly referred to as an 

‘‘infrastructure’’ SIP. SC DHEC certified 

that the South Carolina SIP contains 

provisions that ensure the 2010 NO2

NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and 

maintained in South Carolina. EPA has 

determined that South Carolina’s SIP 

satisfies certain required infrastructure 

elements for the 2010 NO2 NAAQS. 

DATES: This rule will be effective 

October 17, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background and Overview 

On January 22, 2010, (published at 75 

FR 6474, February 9, 2010), EPA 

promulgated a new 1-hour primary 

NAAQS for NO2 at a level of 100 parts 

per billion, based on a 3-year average of 

the 98th percentile of the yearly 

distribution of 1-hour daily maximum 

concentrations. Pursuant to section 

110(a)(1) of the CAA, states are required 

to submit SIPs meeting the requirements 

of section 110(a)(2) within three years 

after promulgation of a new or revised 

NAAQS or within such shorter period 

as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a)(2) 

requires states to address basic SIP 

elements such as requirements for 

monitoring, basic program requirements 

and legal authority that are designed to 

assure attainment and maintenance of 

the NAAQS. States were required to 

submit such SIPs for the 2010 NO2

NAAQS to EPA no later than January 

22, 2013. 

In a proposed rulemaking published 

on June 27, 2016 (81 FR 41498), EPA 

proposed to approve South Carolina’s 

2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS infrastructure 

SIP submission submitted on April 30, 

2014, with the exception of the PSD 

permitting requirements for major 

sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 

of D(i), and (J) and the interstate 

transport requirements of section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 1, 2, 

and 4), for which EPA did not propose 

any action. On March 18, 2015 (80 FR 

14019), EPA approved South Carolina’s 

April 30, 2014, infrastructure SIP 

submission regarding the PSD 

permitting requirements for major 

sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 

of D(i), and (J) for the 2010 1-hour NO2

NAAQS. Therefore, EPA is not taking 

any action today pertaining to sections 

110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 of D(i) and (J). On 

August 22, 2016 (81 FR 56512) EPA 

conditionally approved South Carolina’s 

April 30, 2014, infrastructure SIP 

submission regarding prong 4 of D(i) for 

the 2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS. 

Therefore, EPA is not taking any action 

today pertaining to prong 4. With 

respect to the interstate transport 

requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) 

(prongs 1 and 2), EPA does not yet have 

a submission before the Agency for 

action. The details of South Carolina’s 

submission and the rationale for EPA’s 

action are explained in the proposed 

rulemaking. Comments on the proposed 

rulemaking were due on or before July 

28, 2016. EPA received no adverse 

comments on the proposed action. 

II. Final Action 

With the exception of the PSD 

permitting requirements for major 

sources of sections 110(a)(2)(C), prong 3 

of D(i), and (J) and the interstate 

transport requirements of section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) and (II) (prongs 1, 2, 

and 4), EPA is taking final action to 

approve South Carolina’s infrastructure 

SIP submission for the 2010 1-hour NO2

NAAQS. EPA is taking final action to 

approve portions of South Carolina’s 

infrastructure SIP submission for the 

2010 1-hour NO2 NAAQS because it is 

consistent with section 110 of the CAA. 

III. 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. 

See 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.);
