70694 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 220 / Monday, November 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 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 the 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 the EPA or 

an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, this 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. The 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 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. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements (see section 

307(b)(2)).

Air Plan Approval; Michigan; Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators State Plan and 

Small Municipal Waste Combustors 

Negative Declaration for Designated 

Facilities and Pollutants 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving Michigan’s 

State Plan to control air pollutants from 

‘‘Sewage Sludge Incinerators’’ (SSI). The 

Michigan Department of Environmental 

Quality (MDEQ) submitted the State 

Plan on September 21, 2015. The State 

Plan is consistent with the Emission 

Guidelines (EGs) promulgated by EPA 

on March 21, 2011. This approval 

means that EPA finds that the State Plan 

meets applicable Clean Air Act (Act) 

requirements for subject SSI units. Once 

effective, this approval also makes the 

State Plan Federally enforceable. EPA is 

also notifying the public that we have 

received from Michigan a negative 

declaration for Small Municipal Waste 

Combustors (SMWC). The MDEQ 

submitted its negative declaration on 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 220 / Monday, November 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 70695 

July 27, 2015. MDEQ notified EPA in its 

negative declaration letter that there are 

no SMWC units subject to the 

requirements of the Act currently 

operating in Michigan. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective January 15, 2016, unless EPA 

receives adverse comments by 

December 16, 2015. If adverse 

comments are received, 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, and will respond to all 

comments in a final action based upon 

the associated proposal.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

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

EPA. This SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section is arranged as follows: 

I. Background 

II. What does the State Plan contain? 

III. Does the state plan meet the EPA 

requirements? 

IV. What action is EPA taking? 

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

Section 111(d) of the Act requires that 

EPA develop regulations providing that 

states must submit to EPA plans 

establishing standards of performance 

for certain existing sources of pollutants 

when a standard of performance would 

apply to the existing source if it were a 

new source, and if the pollutants are 

noncriteria pollutants (i.e., pollutants 

for which there is no national ambient 

air quality standard) and are not on a 

list published under section 108 of the 

Act or emitted from a source category 

regulated under section 112 of the Act. 

Section 129 of the Act and 40 CFR part 

60, subpart B apply the section 111(d) 

requirements to existing solid waste 

combustors, including SSIs and 

SMWCs, and provide that EPA should 

include, as part of the performance 

standards, emissions guidelines (EGs) 

that include the plan elements required 

by section 129. 

EPA promulgated new source 

performance standards and EGs for 

SMWCs on December 6, 2000, (64 FR 

76349, 65 FR 76377). The standards and 

EGs are codified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subparts AAAA and BBBB, respectively. 

Thus, states were required to develop 

plans for existing SMWCs, pursuant to 

sections 111(d) and 129 of the Act and 

40 CFR part 60, subpart B. 

EPA promulgated new source 

performance standards and EGs for SSIs 

on March 21, 2011, (76 FR 15372). The 

standards and EGs are codified at 40 

CFR part 60, subparts LLLL and 

MMMM, respectively. Thus, states were 

required to develop plans for existing 

SSIs, pursuant to sections 111(d) and 

129 of the Act and 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart B. 

A SMWC unit is defined in 40 CFR 

60.1550, as any device that has the 

capacity to combust at least 35 tons per 

day of municipal solid waste but no 

more than 250 tons per day of 

municipal solid waste or refuse derived 

fuel. The designated facilities to which 

the EGs apply are existing SMWC units 

that commenced construction on or 

before August 30, 1999. 

A SSI unit is defined in 40 CFR 

60.5250 as any device that combusts 

sewage sludge for the purpose of 

reducing the volume of the sewage 

sludge by removing combustible matter. 

The designated facilities to which the 

EGs apply are existing SSI units that 

commenced construction on or before 

October 14, 2010. 40 CFR 60.5060. 

Under section 129(b)(2) of the Act and 

the EGs at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

MMMM, States with SSIs must submit 

to EPA plans that implement the EGs. 

The plans, which must be at least as 

protective as the EGs, become Federally 

enforceable when EPA approves them. 

42 U.S.C. 7411(d)(2). If the state fails to 

submit a satisfactory plan, the 

Administrator must promulgate a 

Federal plan for implementation and 

enforcement. Id. 

40 CFR part 60, subpart B contains 

general provisions applicable to the 

adoption and submittal of state plans for 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
70696 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 220 / Monday, November 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

subject facilities under sections 111(d) 

and 129 (111(d)/129 plan). 40 CFR part 

62, subpart A provides the procedural 

framework for the submission of the 

plans. However, 40 CFR 60.23(b) and 

62.06 provide that, if there are no 

existing sources of the designated 

pollutant in a state, the state may submit 

a letter of certification to that effect (i.e., 

a negative declaration) in lieu of a plan. 

The negative declaration exempts the 

state from the provisions of 40 CFR part 

60, subpart B that require the submittal 

of a 111(d)/129 plan. 

On September 21, 2015, MDEQ 

submitted its SSI State Plan. The State’s 

final rule became effective on May 20, 

2015. The public hearing for the State 

Plan was on August 19, 2015. The plan 

includes State rule R 336.1972, 

‘‘Emission standards for existing sewage 

sludge incineration units,’’ and R 

336.1902 ‘‘Adoption of standards by 

reference,’’ which contain emission 

standards for existing SSI. 

On July 27, 2015, MDEQ submitted its 

SMWC negative declaration, in which it 

certifies that there are no SMWC units 

currently operating in Michigan. 

II. What does the state plan contain? 

The State SSI plan submittal is based 

on the Federal SSI EGs. As set forth in 

section 129 of the Act and in 40 CFR 

part 60, subparts B and MMMM, the 

State Plan addresses the nine minimum 

required elements, as follows: 

1. An inventory of affected SSI units, 

including those that have ceased 

operation but have not been dismantled. 

Michigan has provided this along with 

the shutdown notices for four facilities 

and the operating permits for the 

remaining three affected facilities in 

Michigan. 

2. An inventory of the emissions from 

affected SSI units. Michigan has 

provided this. 

3. Compliance schedules for each 

affected SSI unit. Michigan has 

provided a compliance schedule with a 

compliance date of March 21, 2016. 

4. Emission limits, emission 

standards, operator training and 

qualification requirements and 

operating limits for affected SSI units 

that are at least as protective as the EGs. 

Michigan has provided this. 

5. Performance testing, recordkeeping 

and reporting and requirements. 

Michigan has provided this. 

6. Certification that the hearing on the 

state plan was held, a list of witnesses 

and their organizational affiliations, if 

any, appearing at the hearing, and a 

brief written summary of each 

presentation or written submission. 

Michigan has provided the required 

certification and other information, 

including a summary of the one 

comment it received. 

7. A provision for State progress 

reports to EPA. Michigan has stated that 

it will submit an annual report that will 

include updates to the inventory, 

removing sources that have shut down, 

adding any new sources, and identifying 

any sources that have met increments of 

progress. The annual report will also 

include any enforcement activities 

initiated against designated facilities 

and submission of technical reports on 

all performance testing on designated 

facilities, including updated emissions 

inventories. 

8. Identification of enforceable state 

mechanisms that the State selected for 

implementing the EGs. Michigan has 

provided a detailed list which identified 

the enforceable mechanisms. 

9. A demonstration of the State’s legal 

authority to carry out the SSI State Plan. 

Michigan has provided a detailed list 

which demonstrated that it has such 

legal authority. This includes the legal 

authority to incorporate by reference 

federal emission guidelines provisions, 

as confirmed by a Michigan Attorney 

General’s Opinion letter dated May 27, 

2015. 

III. Does the State Plan meet the EPA 

requirements? 

EPA evaluated the SSI State Plan and 

related information submitted by 

Michigan for consistency with the Act, 

EPA regulations and policy. For the 

reasons discussed above, EPA has 

determined that the State Plan meets all 

applicable requirements and, therefore, 

is approvable. 

IV. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is approving the State Plan 

which Michigan submitted on 

September 21, 2015, for the control of 

emissions from existing SSI sources in 

the State. EPA is also providing the 

public with notice of, and amending 40 

CFR part 62 to reflect, EPA’s receipt of 

Michigan’s negative declaration for 

SMWC facilities. 

The EPA Administrator continues to 

retain authority for several tasks, as 

provided in 40 CFR 60.5050 and as 

stated in the cover letter of the State 

Plan. 

EPA is publishing this approval 

action without prior proposal because 

the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action 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 State Plan 

in the event adverse written comments 

are filed. This rule will be effective 

January 15, 2016 without further notice 

unless we receive relevant adverse 

written comments by December 16, 

2015. 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. We will then 

address all public comments received 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 can 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 January 15, 2016. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

A. General Requirements 

This action is not a ‘‘significant 

regulatory action’’ under the terms of 

Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and therefore is not 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 (76 

FR 3821, January 21, 2011). For this 

reason, this action is also not subject to 

Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 

Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and merely notifies the 

public of EPA receipt of a negative 

declaration from an air pollution control 

agency without any existing SMWC 

units in its state. This action imposes no 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

the state. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). This rule 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 220 / Monday, November 16, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 70697 

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). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

Federal requirement, and does not alter 

the relationship or the distribution of 

power and responsibilities established 

in the Act. This rule also is not subject 

to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it approves a 

state rule implementing a Federal 

standard. 

In reviewing section 111(d)/129 plan 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

State choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Act. With regard to 

negative declarations for designated 

facilities received by EPA from states, 

EPA’s role is to notify the public of the 

receipt of such negative declarations 

and revise 40 CFR part 62 accordingly. 

In this context, in the absence of a prior 

existing requirement for the State to use 

voluntary consensus standards (VCS), 

EPA has no authority to disapprove a 

section 111(d)/129 plan submission or 

negative declaration for failure to use 

VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with 

applicable law for EPA, when it reviews 

a section 111(d)/129 plan or negative 

declaration submission, to use VCS in 

place of a section 111(d)/129 plan or 

negative declaration submission that 

otherwise satisfies the provisions of the 

Act. Thus, the requirements of section 

12(d) of the National Technology 

Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 

(15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This 

rule does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

B. Submission to Congress and the 

Comptroller General 

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 rule 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. This rule is not a 

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 

804(2). 

C. Petitions for Judicial Review 

Under Section 307(b)(1) of the Act, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by January 15, 2016. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this rule 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 

approving Michigan’s section 111(d)/

129 plan for SSI sources or negative 

declaration for SMWC units may not be 

challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2)).

Control of Air Emissions From Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators 

§ 62.5620 Identification of plan. 

On September 21, 2015, Michigan 

submitted a State Plan for implementing 

the emission guidelines for Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators (SSI). The 

enforceable mechanism for this State 

Plan is a State rule codified in R 

336.1972, ‘‘Emission standards for 

existing sewage sludge incineration 

units,’’ and R 336.1902 ‘‘Adoption of 

standards by reference.’’ The State’s 

final rule became effective on May 20, 

2015. 

§ 62.5621 Identification of sources. 

The Michigan State Plan for existing 

Sewage Sludge Incinerators (SSI) 

applies to all SSIs for which 

construction commenced on or before 

October 14, 2010 or for which a 

modification was commenced on or 

before September 21, 2011 primarily to 

comply with this rule. 

§ 62.5622 Effective date. 

The Federal effective date of the 

Michigan State Plan for existing Sewage 

Sludge Incinerators is January 15, 2016. 

Control of Air Emissions From Small 

Municipal Waste Combustors 

§ 62.5630 Identification of plan—negative 

declaration. 

On July 27,2015, the Michigan 

Department of Environmental Quality 

submitted a negative declaration letter 

to EPA certifying that there are no 

existing Small Municipal Waste 

Combustors (SMWC) units in the State 

of Michigan subject to the emissions 

guidelines at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 

BBBB.

40 CFR Part 180 

[EPA–HQ–OPP–2015–0421; FRL–9936–25] 

Tamarind Seed Gum, 2-Hydroxypropyl 

Ether Polymer; Tolerance Exemption 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of tamarind seed 

gum, 2-hydroxypropyl ether polymer 

(CAS Reg. No. 68551–04–2) when used 

as an inert ingredient in a pesticide 

chemical formulation. Lamberti USA, 

Incorporated 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 residues of 

tamarind seed gum, 2-hydroxypropyl 

ether polymer on food or feed 

commodities.
