sources does not prevent the

construction of any wastewater

treatment works for which a grant has

been, or will be, awarded in compliance

with the Act. It provides for the

guarantee by the Administrator of full

and timely payment of principal and

interest on any obligation of the State,

municipality, or intermunicipal or

interstate agency issued directly and

exclusively to the Federal Financing

Bank to finance the local share of the

costs of any such project.

Inasmuch as this revocation action

relates to agency management and in

view of the subject matter, notice of

proposed rule making and public

comment were considered unnecessary.

III. Rulemaking Analysis

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Agency has determined that the

rule being issued today is not subject to

the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA), 5

U.S.C. 601, et seq., which generally

requires an agency to conduct a

regulatory flexibility analysis unless it

certifies that the rule will not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities. By

its terms, the RFA applies only to rules

subject to notice-and-comment

rulemaking requirements under the

Administrative Procedure Act (APA) or

any other statute. Today’s rule is not

subject to notice and comment

requirements under the APA or any

other statute. Even if the Agency were

required to perform a regulatory

flexibility analysis, today’s rule would

not have a significant economic impact

on small entities for the reasons stated

in this preamble.

Executive Order 12866

Under Executive Order 12866, [58

Federal Register 51,735 (October 4,

1993)] the Agency must determine

whether the regulatory action is

‘‘significant’’ and therefore subject to

OMB review and the requirements of

the Executive Order. The Order defines

‘‘significant regulatory action’’ as one

that is likely to result in a rule that may:

(1) Have an annual effect on the economy

of $100 million or more or adversely affect

in a material way the economy, a sector of

the economy, productivity, competition, jobs,

the environment, public health or safety, or

State, local, or tribal governments or

communities;

(2) Create a serious inconsistency or

otherwise interfere with an action taken or

planned by another agency;

(3) Materially alter the budgetary impact of

entitlements, grants, user fees, or loan

programs or the rights and obligations of

recipients thereof; or raise novel legal or

policy issues arising out of legal mandates,

the President’s priorities, or the principles set

forth in the Executive Order.

It has been determined that this rule

is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

under the terms of Executive Order

12866 and is therefore not subject to

OMB review.

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

Today’s rule contains no Federal

mandates (under the regulatory

provisions of Title II of the UMRA) for

State, local, or tribal governments or the

private sector.

Submission to Congress and the General

Accounting Office

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added

by the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA

submitted 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 General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This is not a

‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C.

804(2) of the APA as amended.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan for South Coast

Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final

action to approve South Coast Air

Quality Management District (District)

Rules 212, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1306,

1309, 1309.1, 1310, and 1313 for the

purpose of meeting requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990

(CAA or Act) with regard to new source

review (NSR) in areas that have not

attained the national ambient air quality

standards (NAAQS). This approval

action will incorporate these rules into

the federally approved State

Implementation Plan (SIP) for

California. The rules were submitted by

the State to satisfy certain Federal

requirements for an approvable NSR

SIP. Thus, EPA is finalizing the

approval of these rules into the

California SIP under provisions of the

CAA regarding EPA action on SIP

submittals, SIPs for national primary

and secondary ambient air quality

standards and plan requirements for

nonattainment areas.

DATES: This action is effective on

February 3, 1997 unless adverse or

critical comments are received by

January 3, 1997. If the effective date is

delayed, a timely notice will be

published in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the rules and

EPA’s evaluation report of each rule are

available for public inspection at EPA’s

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The air

quality planning requirements for

nonattainment NSR are set out in part

D of title I of the Clean Air Act. EPA has

issued a ‘‘General Preamble’’ describing

EPA’s preliminary views on how EPA

intends to review SIPs and SIP revisions

submitted under part D, including those

State submittals containing

nonattainment NSR SIP requirements

[see 57 FR 13498 (April 16, 1992) and

57 FR 18070 (April 28, 1992)]. Because

EPA is describing its interpretations

here only in broad terms, the reader

should refer to the General Preamble for

a more detailed discussion. EPA has

also proposed regulations to implement
64292 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 4, 1996 / Rules and Regulations

1EPA adopted the completeness criteria on

February 16, 1990 (55 FR 5830) and, pursuant to

section 110(k)(1)(A) of the CAA, revised the criteria

on August 26, 1991 (56 FR 42216).

the changes under the 1990

Amendments in the NSR provisions in

parts C and D of title I of the Act. (See

61 FR 38249 (July 23, 1996)). Upon final

promulgation of those regulations, EPA

will review those NSR SIP submittals on

which it has already taken final action

to determine whether additional SIP

revisions are necessary.

Procedural Background

The Act requires States to observe

certain procedural requirements in

developing implementation plans and

plan revisions for submission to EPA.

Section 110(a)(2) and section 110(l) of

the Act provide that each

implementation plan or revision to an

implementation plan submitted by a

State must be adopted after reasonable

notice and public hearing. Section

172(c)(7) of the Act provides that plan

provisions for nonattainment areas shall

meet the applicable provisions of

Section 110(a)(2).

The District held a public hearing on

December 7, 1995 to accept public

comment on Rules 212, 1301, 1302,

1309, 1309.1, 1310, and 1313. On

December 7, 1995, the Rules were

adopted by the District Board of

Directors. The District also held a public

hearing on May 10, 1996 to accept

public comment on Rule 1303. On May

10, 1996, the rule was adopted by the

District Board of Directors. Finally, on

June 14, 1996 the District held a public

hearing to accept public comment on

Rules 1304 and 1306. On June 14, 1996,

the rules were adopted by the District

Board of Directors. On August 28, 1996,

Rules 212, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304, 1306,

1309, 1309.1, 1310, and 1313 were

submitted to EPA as a proposed revision

to the California SIP.

EPA deemed the submittal complete

on October 10, 1996 pursuant to EPA’s

completeness criteria that are set forth

in 40 CFR part 51 appendix V 1 and is

being finalized for approval into the SIP.

Summary of Rule Contents

The South Coast Air Quality

Management District submitted to EPA

for adoption into the applicable NSR

SIP Rule 212 and Regulation XIII, which

is composed of Rules 1301, 1302, 1303,

1304, 1306, 1309, 1309.1, 1310, and

1313. Regulation XIII and Rule 212

constitute the District’s new source

permitting rules. Rule 212 contains the

District’s administrative requirements

including the public consultation

process for permitting.

Rule 1301 is the general purpose and

applicability rule. Rule 1302 consists of

definitions of all terms relating to new

sources and modifications to existing

sources of air pollution, and the

requirements of Regulation XIII. Rule

1303 contains substantive source

permitting requirements including

Lowest Achievable Emission Rate

requirements, Best Available Control

Technology requirements, offset

requirements, statewide compliance

requirements, Federal Land Manager

Notification and Class I Area Visibility

Protection requirements, and

Alternative Source Siting Analysis

requirements. Rule 1304 establishes the

exemptions from Regulation XIII. Rule

1306 establishes the emission

calculation procedures. Rule 1309

establishes procedures for the creation,

banking, and use of emission reduction

credits. Rule 1309.1 establishes the

Priority Reserve which will provide

credits for specific priority sources. Rule

1310, Analysis and Reporting,

establishes a thirty day review for the

District to issue completeness

determinations for permit applications,

and the requirement for public

notification of proposed Emission

Reduction Credits. Rule 1313, Permits to

Operate, establishes procedures for

issuing permits to operate for sources

not required to obtain a permit to

construct. Regulation XIII and Rule 212,

therefore, contain the permitting

requirements for sources located in

nonattainment areas.

Rules 212, 1301, 1302, 1303, 1304,

1306, 1309, 1309.1, 1310, and 1313

represent comprehensive revisions to

the District’s NSR permitting

regulations. These rules are intended to

replace Rules 212, 1301, 1302, 1303,

1304, 1305, 1306, 1307, 1308, 1310, and

1313, which were approved into the SIP

by EPA on 2/3/89, 1/21/81, 1/21/81, 2/

21/81, 3/12/86, 1/20/85, 1/21/81, 5/18/

81, 1/21/81, 1/21/81, and 1/21/81,

respectively. The District has adopted

the current revisions to Regulation XIII

and Rule 212 in part to meet the CAA

and the November 15, 1992 deadline for

submittal.

The District is composed of Los

Angeles County, Orange County,

Riverside County, and San Bernardino

County. The Air Quality Management

Area of the District is designated as an

extreme ozone nonattainment area,

while the rest of the District is

designated as a severe ozone

nonattainment area. The District is also

designated nonattainment for PM10,

NO2, and CO. For the detailed area

designations that apply to the District,

please refer to 40 CFR 81.305. The CAA

air quality planning requirements for

nonattainment NSR are set out in part

D of Title I of the Act, with

implementing regulations at 40 CFR

51.160 through 51.165. EPA has

determined that the District’s submittal

satisfies these requirements.

District Rule 201, which prohibits

construction of sources or modifications

prior to permit issuance and compliance

with the requirements of these rules, is

integral to Regulation XIII. EPA is

approving Regulation XIII based on the

understanding that the District will

continue to enforce Rule 201 in a

manner consistent with the federal

regulations prohibiting construction

before permit issuance. The District has

interpreted Rule 201 to prohibit such

pre-permit construction in its interim

Rule 201 interpretation dated September

19, 1994.

In addition, this approval is based on

the understanding that the District will

apply a tracking system which will

continuously show in the aggregate that

the District: (1) will provide for the

necessary offsets required to meet the

appropriate statutory offset ratio; and (2)

will mitigate emissions from those

sources exempted from offsets under

Rule 1304 which are not exempt from

federal regulation. However, offsets for

sources exempt from offsets due to their

switch from ozone depleting

compounds (ODCs) to volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) will be provided by

the District through reductions achieved

by the District’s 1994 attainment plan

which EPA has proposed to approve at

FR 10920 [Vol.61, No. 53/Monday,

March 18, 1996] [CA114–1–7280; FRL–

5439–8]. Therefore, the District need not

show in the tracking system mitigation

in the aggregate for those particular

sources. The District, however, has

committed to track such reductions to

avoid double counting reductions used

to meet the offset ratio in the aggregate.

If the District modifies the attainment

plan so that it no longer provides offsets

for sources switching emissions from

ODCs to VOCs, then the District will

have to show that those VOC emissions

increases will be offset by the District

through the tracking system as are all

other emissions sources exempt under

Rule 1304, or modify Rule 1304 to

exclude exemptions for such sources.

EPA’s approval is also based on the

District’s interpretation of Regulation

XIII to require a net emissions increase

calculation consistent with federal

requirements for extreme ozone nonattainment areas in the non-SEDAB

area, for severe ozone non-attainment

areas in the SEDAB area, and for all

other pollutants subject to regulation in

all parts of the District.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 234 / Wednesday, December 4, 1996 / Rules and Regulations 64293

Lastly, as part of this approval,

interpollutant trades proposed within

District will be subject to EPA approval.

For a more detailed description of

how the submitted Regulation XIII and

Rule 212 meet the Act’s applicable

requirements, please refer to EPA’s

technical support document (TSD).

Action

EPA has evaluated Regulation XIII

and Rule 212 and has determined that

they are consistent with the CAA, EPA

regulations and EPA policy. Therefore,

District Rules 212, 1301, 1302, 1303,

1304, 1306, 1309, 1309.1, and 1310 are

being approved under section 110(k)(3)

of the CAA as meeting the requirements

of section 110(a), and part D of Title I

of the Act.

Administrative Review

Nothing in this action should be

construed as permitting or allowing or

establishing a precedent for any future

request for revision to any state

implementation plan. Each request for

revision to the state implementation

plan shall be considered separately in

light of specific technical, economic and

environmental factors and in relation to

relevant statutory and regulatory

requirements.

EPA is publishing this document

without prior proposal in part because

the District has provided public

workshops in the development of the

submitted rules, and provided the

opportunity for public comment prior to

adoption of the submitted rules. At that

time, no significant comments were

received by the District. The Agency

therefore views this as a noncontroversial amendment and

anticipates no adverse comments.

However, in a separate document in this

Federal Register publication, EPA is

proposing to approve the SIP revision

should adverse or critical comments be

filed. This action will be effective

February 3, 1997, unless, unless by

January 3, 1997, adverse or critical

comments are received.

If EPA receives such comments, this

action will be withdrawn before the

effective date by publishing a

subsequent document that will

withdraw the final action. All public

comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this action serving as a

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

If no such comments are received, the

public is advised that this action will be

effective February 3, 1997.

Regulatory Process

Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act,

5 U.S.C. 600 et seq., EPA must prepare

a regulatory flexibility analysis

assessing the impact of any proposed or

final rule on small entities. 5 U.S.C. 603

and 604. Alternatively, EPA may certify

that the rule will not have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities. Small entities

include small businesses, small not-forprofit enterprises, and government

entities with jurisdiction over

populations of less than 50,000.

SIP approvals under section 110 and

subchapter I, part D, of the CAA do not

create any new requirements, but

simply approve requirements that the

State is already imposing. Therefore,

because the Federal SIP-approval does

not impose any new requirements, I

certify that it does not have a significant

impact on affected small entities.

Moreover, due to the nature of the

Federal-state relationship under the

CAA, preparation of a regulatory

flexibility analysis would constitute

Federal inquiry into the economic

reasonableness of state action. The CAA

forbids EPA to base its actions

concerning SIPs on such grounds.

U.S. 246, 256–66 (S.Ct. 1976); 42 U.S.C.

Unfunded Mandates and SBREFA

Under Sections 202, 203, and 205 of

the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of

1995 (‘‘Unfunded Mandates Act’’),

signed into law on March 22, 1995, EPA

must undertake various actions in

association with proposed or final rules

that include a Federal mandate that may

result in estimated costs of $100 million

or more to the private sector or to State,

local, or tribal governments in the

aggregate.

Through submission of this state

implementation plan or plan revision,

the State and any affected local or tribal

governments have elected to adopt the

program provided for under part D of

the Clean Air Act. These rules may bind

State, local, and tribal governments to

perform certain actions and also require

the private sector to perform certain

duties. The rules being approved by this

action will impose no new requirements

because affected sources are already

subject to these regulations under State

law. Therefore, no additional costs to

State, local, or tribal governments or to

the private sector result from this action.

EPA has also determined that this final

action does not include a mandate that

may result in estimated costs of $100

million or more to State, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate or to the

private sector.

Under 5 U.S.C. 801(a)(1)(A) as added

by the Small Business Regulatory

Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, EPA

submitted a report containing these

rules and other required information to

the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives and the Comptroller

General of the General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is

not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5

U.S.C. 804(2).

This action has been classified as a

Table 3 action for signature by the

Regional Administrator under the

procedures published in the Federal

Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR

2214–2225), as revised by a July 10,

1995 memorandum from Mary Nichols,

Assistant Administrator for Air and

Radiation. The Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) has exempted this

regulatory action from Executive Order

12866 review.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: This document takes final

action to correct a previous action

published on November 6, 1991, that

designated portions of Omaha,

Nebraska, as nonattainment for the lead

National Ambient Air Quality Standard

(NAAQS) (see 56 FR 56694).

adverse or critical comments are

received. If the effective date is delayed,

timely notice will be published in the

Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Josh

Tapp at (913) 551–7606.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

January 24, 1991, the state of Nebraska

submitted a letter which contained a

recommendation for the EPA to

designate a portion of Omaha as

nonattainment for the lead NAAQS. In

the letter, the state recommended the

boundaries based on existing

monitoring data. The specific

boundaries listed in Nebraska’s January

1991 letter are: Fourth Street on the

south, Eleventh Street on the west,

Avenue H and the Nebraska-Iowa border

on the north, and the Missouri River on

the east.

On August 27, 1996, the state of

Nebraska submitted a letter which

notified the EPA that its request in 1991

was not fully accurate. The southern

boundary was originally defined based

on the fact that data recorded at the

monitor located at Fourth Street and

Jones Street showed attainment of the

lead standard. However, in its 1991

request, Nebraska incorrectly requested

that the southern boundary be

designated as Fourth Street which

actually runs north and south. The

August 1996 letter requests that the EPA

correct the error by designating the

southern boundary as Jones Street

which runs east and west. The state

supplied a map which clearly delineates

the relationship of Fourth Street and

Jones Street to the nonattainment area to

support its request.

Under section 110(k)(6) of the Clean

Air Act (CAA), the EPA may revise a

previous designation when it

determines that the designation was in

error. The EPA has determined that its

identification of the southern boundary

of the Omaha lead nonattainment area

was in error for the reasons stated

above.

I. Final Action

Pursuant to section 110(k)(6) of the

Clean Air Act, this is a direct final

action which redefines the southern

boundary of the Omaha lead

nonattainment area as Jones Street.

The EPA is publishing this action

without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

amendment and anticipates no adverse

comments. However, in a separate

document in this Federal Register

publication, the EPA is proposing to

approve the SIP revision should adverse

or critical comments be filed. This

action is effective February 3, 1997

unless, by January 3, 1997, adverse or

critical comments are received.

If the EPA receives such comments,

this action will be withdrawn before the

effective date by publishing a

subsequent document that will

withdraw the final action. All public

comments received will then be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this action serving as a

proposed rule. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time. If no such comments are

received, the public is advised that this

action is effective February 3, 1997.

Nothing in this action should be

construed as permitting or allowing or

establishing a precedent for any future

request for revision to any SIP. Each

request for revision to the SIP shall be

considered separately in light of specific

technical, economic, and environmental

factors, and in relation to relevant

statutory and regulatory requirements.

II. Administrative Requirements

A. Executive Order 12866

This action has been classified as a

Table 3 action for signature by the

Regional Administrator under the

procedures published in the Federal

Register on January 19, 1989 (54 FR

2214–2225), as revised by a July 10,

1995, memorandum from Mary Nichols,

Assistant Administrator for Air and

Radiation. The Office of Management

and Budget has exempted this

regulatory action from E.O. 12866

review.

B. Unfunded Mandates

Under section 202 of the Unfunded

Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(‘‘Unfunded Mandates Act’’), signed

into law on March 22, 1995, the EPA

must prepare a budgetary impact

statement to accompany any proposed

or final rule that includes a Federal

mandate that may result in estimated

costs to state, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate; or to

private sector, of $100 million or more.

Under section 205, the EPA must select

the most cost-effective and least

burdensome alternative that achieves

the objectives of the rule and is

consistent with statutory requirements.

Section 203 requires the EPA to

establish a plan for informing and

advising any small governments that

may be significantly or uniquely

impacted by the rule.

The EPA has determined that the

approval action promulgated does not

include a Federal mandate that may

result in estimated costs of $100 million

or more to either state, local, or tribal

governments in the aggregate, or to the

private sector. This Federal action

under state or local law, and imposes no

new Federal requirements. Accordingly,

no additional costs to state, local, or

tribal governments, or to the private

sector, result from this action.

and other required information to the

U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of

Representatives, and the Comptroller

General of the General Accounting

Office prior to publication of the rule in

today’s Federal Register. This rule is
