SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed rule for which the EPA is 

holding the public hearing was 

published in the Federal Register on 

September 8, 2015 (80 FR 54146), and 

is available at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/

emc/proposed.html. The public hearing 

will provide interested parties the 

opportunity to present data, views, or 

arguments concerning the proposed 

rule. The EPA may ask clarifying 

questions during the oral presentations 

but will not respond to the 

presentations at that time. Written 

statements and supporting information 

submitted during the comment period 

will be considered with the same weight 

as any oral comments and supporting 

information presented at the public 

hearing. Written comments must be 

postmarked by the last day of the 

comment period, November 9, 2015, as 

specified in the proposed rule. 

The public hearing will be held in 

Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 

and will begin at 1:00 p.m. (local time) 

and continue until 4:00 p.m. (local 

time). The EPA will make every effort to 

accommodate all speakers that arrive 

and register before 1:00 p.m. Please note 

that the hearing is being held at a U.S. 

government facility, and individuals 

planning to attend the hearing should be 

prepared to show valid picture 

identification to the security staff in

Approval of California Air Plan 

Revisions, San Joaquin Valley Unified 

Air Pollution Control District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

revision to the San Joaquin Valley 

Unified Air Pollution Control District 

(SJVUAPCD) portion of the California 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). This 

revision concerns emissions of volatile 

organic compounds (VOCs), oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX), and particulate matter 

(PM) from wood burning devices. We 

are proposing to approve a local rule to 

regulate these emission sources under 

the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act). We 

are taking comments on this proposal 

and plan to follow with a final action. 

DATES: Any comments must arrive by 

October 30, 2015.

I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What rule did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the rule addressed by this 

proposal with the date that it was 

adopted by the local air agency and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board. 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED RULE

Local agency Rule No. Rule title Amended Submitted 

SJVUAPCD ....... 4901 Wood Burning Fireplaces and Wood Burning Heaters ................................ 09/18/14 11/06/14 

On December 18, 2014, the EPA 

determined that the submittal for 

SJVUAPCD Rule 4901 met the 

completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 51, 

appendix V, which must be met before 

formal EPA review. 

B. Are there other versions of this rule? 

We approved an earlier version of 

Rule 4901 into the SIP on October 11, 

2009 (74 FR 57907). The SJVUAPCD 

adopted revisions to the SIP-approved 

version on September 18, 2014 and 

CARB submitted them to us on 

November 6, 2014. While we can act on 

only the most recently submitted 

version, we have reviewed materials 

provided with previous submittals. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rule revision? 

VOCs help produce ground-level 

ozone, smog and PM, which harm 

human health and the environment. 

NOX helps produce ground-level ozone, 

smog and PM, which harm human 

health and the environment. PM, 

including PM equal to or less than 2.5 

microns in diameter (PM2.5) and PM 

equal to or less than 10 microns in 

diameter (PM10), contributes to effects 

that are harmful to human health and 

the environment, including premature 

mortality, aggravation of respiratory and 

cardiovascular disease, decreased lung 

function, visibility impairment, and 

damage to vegetation and ecosystems. 

Section 110(a) of the CAA requires 

States to submit regulations that control 

VOC, NOX, and PM emissions. 

Rule 4901 is designed to limit 

emissions of these pollutants generated 

by the use of wood burning fireplaces, 

wood burning heaters, and outdoor 

wood burning devices. The rule 

establishes requirements for the sale/

transfer, operation, and installation of 

wood burning devices and on the 

advertising of wood for sale intended for 

burning in a wood burning fireplace, 

wood burning heater, or outdoor wood 

burning device within the San Joaquin 

Valley Air Basin (San Joaquin Valley). 

The SIP-approved rule was modified 

to replace the existing episodic 

curtailment requirement, which 

required declaration of a mandatory 

wood burning curtailment day 

whenever the PM2.5 concentration was 

forecasted to be greater than or equal to 

30 micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3) 

or the PM10 concentration was 

forecasted to be greater than or equal to 

135 mg/m3, with a new two-tiered 

curtailment program. During a Level 

One Episodic Wood Burning 

Curtailment, which is triggered when 

the PM2.5 concentration is forecasted to 

be between 20–65 mg/m3, operation of 

wood burning fireplaces and 

unregistered wood burning heaters is 

prohibited, but properly operated, wood 

burning heaters that meet certification 

requirements and have a current 

registration with the District may be 

used. Specific certification and 

registration requirements are outlined in 

the rule. During a Level Two Episodic 

Wood Burning Curtailment, which is 

triggered when the PM2.5 concentration 

is forecasted to be above 65 mg/m3 or the 

PM10 concentration is forecasted to be 

above 135 mg/m3, operation of any wood 

burning device is prohibited.1

The two-tiered curtailment program 

also replaces a contingency measure 

provision which would have been 

implemented in the event that the EPA 

finalized a rulemaking finding San 

Joaquin Valley had failed to attain the 

1997 PM2.5 National Ambient Air 

Quality Standard (NAAQS) by the 

applicable deadline. The provision 

would have required a ban on the 

operation of all wood burning devices 

when the PM2.5 concentration was 

predicted to be greater than or equal to 

20 mg/m3 or the PM10 concentration was 

predicted to be greater than or equal to 

135 mg/m3. 

Additionally, the revised rule adds 

outdoor wood burning heaters to the 

applicability paragraph, explicitly 

references to the New Source 

Performance Standard (NSPS) for New 

Residential Wood Heaters (40 CFR part 

60, subpart AAA) to assure compliance 

with the latest Federal requirements, 

and includes other editorial revisions to 

improve rule clarity. 

The EPA’s technical support 

document (TSD) has more information 

about this rule. 

II. The EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rule? 

SIP rules must be enforceable (see 

CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not 

interfere with applicable requirements 

concerning attainment and reasonable 

further progress or other CAA 

requirements (see CAA section 110(l)), 

and must not modify certain SIP control 

requirements in nonattainment areas 

without ensuring equivalent or greater

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 189 / Wednesday, September 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules 58639 

2Because RACM/RACT represents a less stringent 

level of control than BACM/BACT, we have not 

separately evaluated the rule with respect to 

RACM/RACT. 

emissions reductions (see CAA section 

193). 

The San Joaquin Valley is currently 

designated and classified as an extreme 

1-hour ozone nonattainment area and an 

extreme 8-hour ozone nonattainment 

area under both the 1997 and 2008 8- 

hour ozone standards (40 CFR 81.305). 

CAA section 172(c)(1) requires ozone 

nonattainment areas to implement all 

reasonably available control measures 

(RACM), including such reductions in 

emissions from existing sources in the 

area as may be obtained through the 

adoption, at a minimum, of reasonably 

available control technology (RACT), as 

expeditiously as practicable. Therefore, 

SJVUAPCD must implement RACM for 

ozone precursors. While our stringency 

discussion below focuses on PM 

emissions, we are not aware of 

reasonably available controls for these 

sources for ozone precursors that are not 

also reasonably available controls for 

PM. In addition, because residential 

wood burning takes place in the winter 

months when ozone concentrations are 

lower and the probability of exceeding 

the ozone NAAQS is low, we do not 

believe it is necessary to assess RACM/ 

RACT for ozone and its precursors 

independently from our assessment of 

RACM/RACT for PM. 

San Joaquin Valley is designated and 

classified as a moderate nonattainment 

area for the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard 

(40 CFR 81.305). CAA sections 172(c)(1) 

and 189(a)(1)(C) require moderate PM2.5

nonattainment areas to implement 

RACM and RACT as expeditiously as 

practicable. Therefore, SJVUAPCD must 

implement RACM, including RACT, for 

PM2.5 and PM2.5 precursors. 

San Joaquin Valley is designated and 

classified as a serious nonattainment 

area for the 1997 annual and 1997 24- 

hour PM2.5 standards (40 CFR 81.305). 

CAA section 189(b)(1)(B) requires 

serious PM2.5 nonattainment areas to 

implement best available control 

measures (BACM), including best 

available control technology (BACT), 

within 4 years after reclassification of 

the area to serious. Therefore, 

SJVUAPCD must implement BACM, 

including BACT, for PM2.5 and PM2.5

precursors. 

San Joaquin Valley is currently 

designated attainment for PM10 (40 CFR 

81.305). Accordingly, SJVUAPCD is not 

required to implement RACM/RACT or 

BACM/BACT for PM10 and PM10

precursors. Therefore, we are not 

evaluating Rule 4901 for compliance 

with RACM or BACM requirements for 

PM10. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to evaluate enforceability, 

revision/relaxation and rule stringency 

requirements for the applicable criteria 

pollutants include the following: 

1. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation 

Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and Deviations,’’ 

EPA, May 25, 1988 (the Bluebook, 

revised January 11, 1990). 

2. ‘‘Guidance Document for Correcting 

Common VOC & Other Rule 

Deficiencies,’’ EPA Region 9, August 21, 

2001 (the Little Bluebook). 

3. ‘‘Restatement to Update of EPA’s SSM 

Policy Applicable to SIPs’’, 80 FR 33839, 

June 12, 2015. 

4. ‘‘Strategies for Reducing Residential Wood 

Smoke’’, EPA–456/B–13–001, March 

2013. 

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

We believe this rule is consistent with 

CAA requirements and relevant 

guidance regarding enforceability, SIP 

revisions, and RACM/RACT and BACM/ 

BACT. 

The rule requirements and 

applicability are clear, and the 

monitoring, recordkeeping, reporting 

and other provisions sufficiently ensure 

that affected sources and regulators can 

evaluate and determine compliance 

with Rule 4901 consistently. 

Additionally, Rule 4901 includes 

several provisions that together provide 

continuous control of PM emissions 

consistent with the CAA and EPA 

guidance on start-up, shut-down, and 

malfunction, including an episodic 

curtailment program, certification and 

registration requirements, restrictions 

concerning materials that can be 

burned, and a limit on visible emissions 

from residential chimneys. 

The District estimates that the new 

tiered curtailment program described in 

Rule 4901, Paragraph 5.6, would reduce 

average winter burning season 

emissions by 3.27 tons per day (tpd) 

PM2.5 and would reduce annual average 

emissions by 1.09 tpd PM2.5, when 

compared to the current SIP-approved 

version of Rule 4901. The District states 

that allowing registered devices to 

operate on additional days (i.e., during 

Level One Curtailment days) and 

subsidizing change-outs for cleaner 

burning devices would provide 

significant incentive for residents to 

transition from higher polluting devices 

and result in additional emission 

reductions beyond 3.27 tpd PM2.5.

We propose to determine that our 

approval of the submittal would comply 

with CAA section 110(l), because the 

proposed SIP revision would not 

interfere with the on-going process for 

ensuring that requirements for RFP and 

attainment are met and the submitted 

SIP revision is at least as stringent as the 

rule previously approved into the SIP. 

CAA section 193 does not apply to this 

action because the submitted SIP 

revision does not weaken any SIP 

control requirement in effect before 

November 15, 1990. 

We assess whether Rule 4901 

implements BACM/BACT for PM2.5,2 by 

using an analysis provided by the 

District and comparing provisions found 

in Rule 4901 with the EPA document 

‘‘Strategies for Reducing Residential 

Wood Smoke’’, EPA–456/B–13–001, 

March 2013 and current State and 

District wood burning rules. This 

evaluation is described in the TSD. 

Based on this evaluation, we believe the 

September 18, 2014 version of Rule 

4901 implements BACM/BACT for 

wood burning devices in the San 

Joaquin Valley considering 

technological and economic feasibility. 

C. EPA Recommendations to Further 

Improve the Rule 

The TSD describes additional rule 

revisions that we recommend for the 

next time the local agency modifies the 

rule but are not currently the basis for 

rule disapproval. 

D. Public Comment and Proposed 

Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, the EPA proposes to fully 

approve the submitted rule because we 

believe it fulfills all relevant 

requirements. We will accept comments 

from the public on this proposal until 

October 30, 2015. Unless we receive 

convincing new information during the 

comment period, we intend to publish 

a final approval action that will 

incorporate this rule into the federally 

enforceable SIP. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

the SJVUAPCD rule described in Table 

1 of this notice. The EPA has made, and 

will continue to make, these documents 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at the appropriate EPA office (see the 

ADDRESSES section of this preamble for 

more information). 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

58640 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 189 / Wednesday, September 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, the EPA’s role is to 

approve State choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. Accordingly, this proposed action 

merely proposes to approve State law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by State law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, and legally permissible 

methods under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed action 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.

PM10 Plans and Redesignation 

Request; Truckee Meadows, Nevada; 

Deletion of TSP Area Designation 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

two revisions to the Nevada state 

implementation plan (SIP). The first 

revision provides a demonstration of 

implementation of best available control 

measures (BACM) for control of 

particulate matter with an aerodynamic 

diameter less than or equal to a nominal 

ten micrometers (PM10) within Truckee 

Meadows. The second revision is a plan 

that provides for the maintenance of the 

national ambient air quality standard for 

PM10 in Truckee Meadows through 

2030, includes an emissions inventory 

consistent with attainment, and 

establishes motor vehicle emissions 

budgets. In connection with these 

proposed approvals, the EPA is 

proposing to determine that major 

stationary sources of PM10 precursors do 

not contribute significantly to elevated 

PM10 levels in the area. Also, based in 

part on the proposed approvals of the 

BACM demonstration and maintenance 

plan and proposed determination 

regarding PM10 precursors, the EPA is 

proposing to approve the State of 

Nevada’s request for redesignation of 

the Truckee Meadows nonattainment 

area to attainment for the PM10

standard. Lastly, the EPA is proposing 

to delete the area designation for 

Truckee Meadows for the revoked 

national ambient air quality standard for 

total suspended particulate (TSP). The 

EPA is proposing these actions because 

the SIP revisions meet the applicable 

statutory and regulatory requirements 

for such plans and related motor vehicle 

emissions budgets and because the area 

meets the Clean Air Act requirements 

for redesignation of nonattainment areas 

to attainment.
