ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving the 

following required State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submittals 

from the State of Texas for the HoustonGalveston-Brazoria 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area (HGB area): the 

attainment demonstration for the 1997 

ozone National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS), the reasonably 

available control measures (RACM) 

demonstration for the NAAQS, the 

contingency measures plan in the event 

of failure to attain the NAAQS by the 

applicable attainment date, and a Motor 

Vehicle Emissions Budget (MVEB) for 

2018, which is the attainment year for 

the area. EPA is also approving 

revisions to the air pollution control 

measures and General Air Quality 

Definitions in the Texas SIP. The 

revisions to the air pollution control 

measures include revisions to the Mass 

Emissions Cap and Trade (MECT) 

program for nitrogen oxides (NOX), 

revisions to the highly reactive volatile 

organic compound (HRVOC) emissions 

cap and trade (HECT) program, 

Voluntary Mobile Emissions Program 

(VMEP) measures, and Transportation 

Control Measures (TCMs). EPA is taking 

these actions in accordance with section 

110 and part D of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA).

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

The background for today’s action is 

discussed in detail in our September 9, 

2013 proposal (78 FR 55037). In that 

notice, we proposed to approve the 

following Texas SIP submittals for the 

HGB area: 

• Attainment demonstration for the 

1997 ozone NAAQS 

• Revisions to the MECT air pollution 

control program 

• Revisions to the HECT air pollution 

control program 

• VMEP measures and TCMs 

• A 2018 year MVEB 

• Demonstration of RACM 

• Contingency measures plan 

addressing a failure to attain the 

NAAQS by the applicable attainment 

date 

• Revisions to the General Air Quality 

Definitions submitted by the State on 

June 10, 2005, August 16, 2007, April 6, 

2010 and March 11, 2011. 

In our proposal we noted that in order 

to approve the attainment 

demonstration for the area we must also 

approve the reasonable further progress 

(RFP) plan and the RFP contingency 

measures (78 FR 55037, 55038). In a 

separate action we are approving the 

RFP plan and the RFP contingency 

measures.1

Five commenters provided comments 

on our September 9, 2013 proposal. The 

comments we received can be accessed 

from the www.regulations.gov Web site 

(Docket No. EPA–R06–OAR–2013– 

0387). The discussion below addresses 

the comments we received on our 

proposed action. 

II. Response to Comments 

Comment: We received four 

comments supportive of our proposal to 

approve the SIP revisions. 

Response: We appreciate the 

supportive comments. 

Comment: We received a comment 

that the relevance of the attainment 

demonstration must be evaluated 

against the 2008 ozone NAAQS of 75 

ppb, not the 1997 ozone NAAQS of 84 

ppb. 

Response: We disagree that the 

relevance of the attainment 

demonstration must be evaluated 

against the 2008 ozone NAAQS. Clean 

Air Act section 182(b)(1) and 40 CFR 

51.908 require an attainment 

demonstration for the 1997 ozone 

NAAQS. The attainment demonstration 

being approved specifically addresses 

this CAA requirement. Areas were 

designated for the 2008 ozone NAAQS 

in 2012 and the attainment 

demonstration and other planning 

provisions to address the area’s 

nonattainment status for that standard 

are not yet due. We expect future SIP 

revisions for the HGB area, including 

the attainment demonstration, will be 

submitted to address the 2008 ozone 

NAAQS. 

Comment: We received a comment 

from the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) 

requesting that we not act on the 

revisions submitted for the HECT 

program in 30 TAC 101.396(b) and 

instead retain the current SIP-approved 

rule language. TCEQ noted that the 

revision to 30 TAC 101.396(b) conflicts 

with 30 TAC 115.722(c) and 30 TAC 

115.761(c) and that they intend to 

consider technical corrections to 30 

TAC 101.396(b) in future rulemaking. 

Response: Given the TCEQ request we 

are not taking action on the revision to 

30 TAC 101.396(b) at this time. The 

current SIP-approved language for 30 

TAC 101.396(b) will therefore remain in 

effect and remove any concerns about 

conflicts with existing SIP-approved 

requirements at 30 TAC 115.722(c) and 

115.761(c) as cited by the TCEQ. 

Further, the retention of the SIPapproved language at 30 TAC 101.396(b) 

will ensure the continued integrity of 

the HECT program and the HGB 

attainment demonstration. Table 1 

below shows the current SIP-approved 

language that will be retained and the 

revision we are not taking action on for 

30 TAC 101.396(b).

The amount of HRVOC emissions from covered facilities shall be calculated for each hour of the year and summed to determine the annual emissions for compliance. For emissions from emissions events 

subject to the requirements of § 101.201 of this title (relating to Emissions Event Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements) or emissions from scheduled maintenance, startup, or shutdown activities 

subject to the requirements of § 101.211 of this title (relating to 

Scheduled Maintenance, Startup, and Shutdown Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements); the hourly emissions to be included in the 

summation shall not exceed the short-term limit of § 115.722(c) and 

§ 115.761(c) of this title (relating to Site-wide Cap and Control Requirements; and Site-wide Cap).

(b) The amount of HRVOC emissions from applicable facilities will be 

calculated for each hour of the year and summed to determine the 

annual emissions for compliance. For emissions from scheduled 

maintenance, startup, or shutdown activities subject to the requirements of § 101.211 of this title (relating to Scheduled Maintenance, 

Startup, and Shutdown Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements), the hourly emissions to be included in the summation shall 

not exceed the short-term limit of § 115.722(c) and § 115.761(c) of 

this title (relating to Site-wide Cap and Control Requirements; and 

Site-wide Cap.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 1 / Thursday, January 2, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 59 

Comment: One commenter who 

supported the proposal also urged us to 

work proactively with states to develop 

guidance on how to best account for 

exceptional events, particularly 

wildfires, and transport of emissions 

from Asia in future SIPs. The 

commenter further urged us to 

thoughtfully consider exceptional event 

and CAA 179B petitions from states 

affected by emissions that are beyond 

their control. 

Response: While these matters are not 

relevant to the current action before us 

which is approving the HGB area SIP, 

we note that we will continue to 

actively work with states to address the 

general SIP related issues of exceptional 

events and international transport. In 

May 2013, we issued interim guidance 

on exceptional events and announced 

our intention to propose and finalize 

revisions to the 2007 Exceptional Events 

Rule (72 FR 13560, March 22, 2007). 

More information can be found on our 

exceptional events Web site located at 

http://www.epa.gov/ttn/analysis/

exevents.htm. 

CAA section 179B (International 

Border Areas), applies to nonattainment 

areas that are affected by emissions from 

outside the United States. For more 

discussion on section 179B, please see 

78 FR 34178, 34204 (June 6, 2013 

Federal Register) and 70 FR 71612, 

71624 (November 29, 2005 Federal 

Register). 

III. Final Action 

We are approving SIP submittals from 

the State of Texas for the HGB ozone 

nonattainment area submitted on April 

6, 2010, and May 6, 2013. Specifically, 

we are approving the following Texas 

SIP submittals for the HGB area: 

• Attainment demonstration for the 

1997 ozone NAAQS 

• Revisions to the MECT air pollution 

control program 

• Revisions to the HECT air pollution 

control program 

• VMEP measures and TCMs 

• A 2018 year MVEB 

• Demonstration of RACM 

• Contingency measures plan 

addressing a failure to attain the 

NAAQS by the applicable attainment 

date 

We are also approving the following 

SIP revisions to the General Air Quality 

Definitions submitted by the State on 

June 10, 2005, August 16, 2007, April 6, 

2010 and March 11, 2011. Additionally, 

we are approving the revisions to the 

MECT and HECT program submitted on 

April 6, 2010, with the exception of the 

revision to 30 TAC 101.396(b). We are 

taking no action on revisions to 30 TAC 

101.396(b). 

We are approving these SIP revisions 

in accordance with section 110 and part 

D of the CAA. 

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 

Clean Air 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 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. section 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 March 3, 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 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)
