Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Tennessee; 110(a)(1) and (2) Infrastructure Requirements forthe 1997 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient AirQuality Standards

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: EPAis taking final action to approve in part, and conditionally approve in part, the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submission, submitted by the State ofTennessee, through the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC),
to demonstrate that the State meets the requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2)ofthe Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) for the 1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Section 110(a) ofthe CAA requires thateach
state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement ofeach NAAQS promulgated by EPA, which is commonly referred to as an "infrastructure" SIP. TDEC certified that the Tennessee SIP contains provisions that ensure the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS are implemented, enforced, and maintained in Tennessee (hereafter referred to as "infrastructure submission"). With the exception of sub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii), which pertains to therequirements of section 128(a)(1) ofthe CAA, Tennessee's infrastructure submission, provided to EPA on December 14, 2007, addresses all the required infrastructure elements for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. DATES: EffectiveDate:This rule will be effective August 22, 2012. ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket Identification No. EPA-R04-OAR2011-0353.

I.Background I. This Action II. FinalAction IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background

Upon promulgation ofa new or revised NAAQS, sections 110(a)(1) and (2)ofthe CAA require states to address basic SIP requirements, including emissions inventories, monitoring, and modeling to assure attainment and maintenance for thatnew NAAQS.

Section 110(a) ofthe CAA requires
states to submit SIPs to provide for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement ofa new or revised NAAQS within three years following the promulgation of such NAAQS, or within such shorter period as EPA may prescribe. Section 110(a) imposes the obligation upon states to make a SIP submission to EPA for a new orrevised NAAQS, butthe contents ofthat submission mayvary depending upon the facts and circumstances. In particular, the data and analytical tools available at thetime the state develops and submits the SIP for a new or revised NAAQS affects the content ofthe submission. The contents of such SIP submissions may alsovary depending upon what provisions the state's existing SIP already contains. In the

case ofthe 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS,
states typically have met thebasic program elements required in section 110(a)(2) through earlier SIP submissions in connection with previous ozone NAAQS.

More specifically, section 110(a)(1) provides the procedural and timing 

### 42997

### Federal Register/Vol. 77, No. 141/Monday, July 23, 2012/Rules and Regulations

requirements for SIPs. Section 110(a)(2) lists specific elements that states must meet for "infrastructure" SIP requirements related to anewly established or revised NAAQS. As already mentioned, these requirements include SIP infrastructure elements such as modeling, monitoring, and emissions inventories thatare designed
to assure attainment and maintenance of the NAAQS. The requirements that are the subject ofthisfinal rulemaking are listed below Iandin EPA's October 2, 2007, memorandum entitled "Guidance

on SIP Elements Required Under Section 110(a)(1) and (2)for the 1997 8- Hour Ozone and PM2.5National Ambient Air Quality Standards."

* 110(a)(2)(A): Emission limits and other control measures.

* 110(a)(2)(B): Ambient air quality monitoring/data system.

* 110(a)(2)(C): Program for enforcement ofcontrol measures. 2

* 110(a)(2)(D): Interstate transport.3

* 110(a)(2)(E): Adequate resources. * 110(a)(2)(F): Stationary source monitoring system.

* 110(a)(2)(G): Emergency power. * 110(a)(2)(H): Future SIP revisions.

'Two elements identified insection 110(a)(2) are not governed bythe three year submission deadline ofsection 110(a)(1) because SIPs incorporating necessary local nonattainment area controls arenot duewithin three years after promulgation ofa new
or revised NAAQS, butrather are due at the time the nonattainment area plan requirements are due pursuant to section 172. Theserequirements are: (1) submissions required by section 110(a)(2)(C) to the
extent that subsection refers to a permit program as required in partD Title I ofthe CAA, and (2) submissions required by section 110(a)(2)(I) which pertain to the nonattainment planning requirements ofpart D, Title I of the CAA. Today's final rulemaking does not address infrastructure elements related to section 110(a)(2)(I) or (C). In a March 14, 2012, finalrulemaking, EPA addressed the section 110(a)(2)(C) requirements for Tennessee.
See 77 FR 14976.

2 This rulemaking only addresses requirements
for this element asthey relate to attainment areas.

3 Today's finalrule does not address element 110(a)(2)(D)(i) (Interstate Transport) for the 1997 8- hour ozone NAAQS. Interstate transport requirements were formerly addressedby Tennessee consistent with the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). OnDecember 23, 2008, CAIR was remanded by the D.C. Circuit Court ofAppeals,
without vacatur, back to EPA. See North Carolina

v.EPA, 531 F.3d 896 (D.C. Cir. 2008). Prior to this remand, EPA tookfinal action to approve Tennessee's SIP revision, which was submitted to comply with CAIR. See 72 FR 46388 (August 20, 2007). In so doing, Tennessee's CAIR SIP revision addressed the interstate transport provisions in
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. In response to the remand ofCAIR, EPA has promulgated a new rule to address interstate transport. See 76 FR 48208 (August 8, 2011) ("the Transport Rule"). That rule was recently stayed by the D.C. Circuit Court ofAppeals. EPA's action on element 110(a)(2)(D)(i) will be addressed in a separate action. * 110(a)(2)(I): Areas designated nonattainment and meet the applicable requirements ofpart D.4
* 110(a)(2)(J): Consultation with government officials; public notification; andPSD and visibility protection. * 110(a)(2)(K): Air quality modeling/ data. * 110(a)(2)(L): Permitting fees. * 110(a)(2)(M): Consultation/ participation by affected local entities. OnJuly 18, 1997, EPA promulgated a
new NAAQS for ozone based on 8-hour average concentrations, thus states were required toprovide submissions to address sections 110(a)(1) and (2) ofthe CAA for this new NAAQS. Tennessee provided its infrastructure submission for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS on December 14, 2007. On March 27, 2008, Tennessee was among other states that received a finding offailure to submit because its infrastructure submission

was deemed incomplete for elements 110(a)(2)(C) and (J)for the 1997 8-hour

ozone NAAQS by March 1, 2008. See 73 FR 16205. Infrastructure elements 110(a)(2)(C) and (J)relate to a SIP addressing changes toits part C prevention ofsignificant deterioration (PSD)permit program as required by the 1997 8-Hour Ozone NAAQS Implementation Rule New Source Review (NSR)Update-Phase 2Rule (hereafterreferred to as the Ozone Implementation NSR Update) recognizing nitrogen oxides as a precursor for ozone in 40 CFR 51.166 and 40 CFR 52.21, among other requirements. See 70 FR 71612, (November 29, 2005). Tennessee has since met the completeness requirements for 110(a)(2)(C) and (J)and these infrastructure elements were federally approved on March 14, 2012. See 77 FR 14976.

OnApril 16, 2012, EPAproposed to approve Tennessee's December 14, 2007, infrastructure submission and proposed to approve in part, and conditionally approve in part, infrastructure sub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) for the 1997 8-hour

ozone NAAQS. See 77 FR 22533. CAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii), pertaining to section 128 State Board requirements, requires at subsection (a)(1) thateach SIP shall contain requirements that any board or body which approves permits

or enforcement ordersbe subject to the described public interest and income

4Thisrequirement was inadvertently omitted from EPA's October 2, 2007, memorandum entitled "Guidance on SIP Elements Required Under Section 110(a)(1) and (2) for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone and PM2. 5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards," but as mentioned aboveis notrelevant
to today's proposed rulemaking. restrictions. Itfurther requires at subsection (a)(2) that any board orbody,

orthe head ofan executive agency with similar power to approve permits or enforcement orders under the CAA, shall alsobe subject to conflict of interest disclosure requirements. In this action, EPAis taking two actions regarding the section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) requirements. First, EPA is finalizing its conditional approval for part of Tennessee's infrastructure SIP for element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) with respect to the applicable section 128(a)(1) requirements. Second, EPA is approving the remaining part Tennessee's infrastructure SIP for element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) withrespect the applicable section 128(a)(2) requirements.

On March 28, 2012, Tennessee submitted aletter ofcommitment to EPA to adopt specific enforceable

measures related to 128(a)(1) to address
current deficiencies in the Tennessee SIP as outlined in EPA's April 16, 2012, proposed rulemaking. This letter of commitment meets the requirements of section 110(k)(4) ofthe CAA. Failureto adoptthese provisions into the Tennessee SIP within one year (byJuly 23, 2013) will result in today's conditional approval becoming a disapproval. Tennessee's March 28, 2012, letter can be accessed at www.regulations.govusingDocket ID No. EPA-R04-OAR-2011-0353. A summary ofthe background for today's final action isprovided below. See EPA's April 16, 2012, proposed rulemaking at 77 FR 22533 for more detail.

II. ThisAction

EPA istaking final action to approve Tennessee's infrastructure submission

as demonstrating that the State meets the applicable requirements of sections 110(a)(1) and (2)ofthe CAA for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, with the exception ofone portion ofCAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) specifically pertaining to section 128(a)(1) requirements. EPAis taking final action to conditionally approve, sub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) as it pertains to section 128(a)(1). Section 110(a) ofthe CAA requires thateach
state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation, maintenance, and enforcement ofeach NAAQS promulgated by theEPA, which is commonly referred to as an "infrastructure" SIP. Tennessee, through TDEC, certified that the Tennessee SIP contains provisions that

ensure the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS is implemented, enforced, and maintained in Tennessee. EPAreceived

no adverse comments on itsApril 16,

2012, proposed approval ofTennessee's December 14, 2007, infrastructure submission and proposed conditional approval ofone portion of section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii).

Tennessee's infrastructure submission, provided to EPA on December 14, 2007, addresses all the required infrastructure elements for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, with the exception ofCAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii), pertaining to section 128(a)(1) requirements. EPA has determined that Tennessee's December 14, 2007, submission is consistent with section 110 ofthe CAA, with the exception ofthe CAA section 128(a)(1) requirements of section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii).

On March 28, 2012, Tennessee submitted aletter ofcommitment to EPA to adopt specific enforceable

measures related to CAA section 128(a)(1) to address the current deficiencies in the Tennessee SIP related to CAA section 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) as outlined in EPA's April 16, 2012, proposed rulemaking. As a result of Tennessee's March 28, 2012, submission, EPA has determined that conditional approval, specifically pertaining to therequirements of 128(a)(1), is appropriate because the State has explicitly committed to address current deficiencies inthe Tennessee SIP related to sub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) consistent with the requirements ofCAA section 110(k)(4).

EPA isconditionally approving the March 28, 2012, submittal withrespect to the CAA requirement ofsub-element 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) and section 128(a)(1). Tennessee must submitto EPAby July 23, 2013, a SIP revision adopting specific enforceable measures related to CAA section 128(a)(1) as described in the State's letter ofcommitment described above. Ifthe State fails to actually submit these revisionsby July 23, 2013, today's conditional approval will automatically become a disapproval

onthat date andEPA will issue a finding ofdisapproval. EPA is not required to propose the finding of disapproval. Ifthe conditional approval is converted to a disapproval, the final disapproval triggers theFederal Implementation Plan requirement under section 110(c). However, ifthe State
meets its commitment within the applicable timeframe, the conditionally approved submission will remain apart ofthe SIP until EPA takes final action approving or disapproving the new submittal. IfEPA disapproves the new submittal, today's conditionally approved submittal will also be disapproved at that time. IfEPA approves the new submittal, Tennessee's infrastructure SIP willbe fully approved in its entirety and replace the conditionally approved element in the SIP.

III. FinalAction

EPA istaking final actionto approve Tennessee's December 14, 2007, submission for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and conditionally approve in part, Tennessee's March 28, 2012, submission because these submissions

are consistent with section 110 ofthe CAA. With the exception ofsection 110(a)(2)(E)(ii) pertaining tothe section 128(a)(1) requirements, TDEC has addressed the elements ofthe CAA 110(a)(1) and (2)SIP requirements pursuant toEPA's October 2, 2007, guidance to ensure thatthe 1997 8-hour

ozone NAAQS are implemented, enforced, andmaintained in Tennessee.

IV. Statutory andExecutive Order Reviews

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies withthe provisions ofthe Act and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role isto approve state choices, provided that theymeet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposedby state law. Forthat
reason, this action: * Is not a "significant regulatory action" subject toreview by the Office ofManagement and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993); * Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions ofthe Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 etseq.); * 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 etseq.); * 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 actionbased on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);

* Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); * Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) ofthe National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application ofthose 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).

In addition, this rule does nothave 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. 801 etseq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides thatbefore a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rulemust submita rule report, which includes a copy ofthe rule, to each House ofthe Congress and to the Comptroller General oftheUnited States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House ofRepresentatives, and the Comptroller General ofthe United Statesprior to publication ofthe rule in the FederalRegister. A majorrule
cannot take effectuntil 60 days after it is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a "major rule" as defined by 5U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) ofthe CAA, petitions forjudicial review ofthis action must be filed in the United States Court ofAppeals for the appropriate circuitby September 21, 2012. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator ofthis final rule does not affectthe finality ofthis actionfor the
purposes ofjudicial review nor does it extend thetime within which apetition forjudicial review maybe filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of suchrule or action. This actionmay not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On May 14, 2012 (77 FR 28336), EPA published a notice ofproposed rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Maryland. The NPR proposed approval ofamendments to COMAR 26.11.19.11, Lithographic and Letterpress Printing. The amendments adopt EPA's CTG for lithographic andletterpress printing. The formal SIP revision (#11-09)was submitted by the Maryland Department ofthe Environment (MDE) on December 15, 2011. Additional background information behind this SIP revision is discussed in detail in the NPR.

II. Summary ofSIP Revision

This SIP revision consists of amendments to COMAR 26.11.19.11 to adopt anew CTG for offset lithographic printers and letterpress printers, entitled ControlTechniques Guidelines for OffsetLithographic Printing and LetterpressPrinting(seeEPA 453/R-06- 002). A detailed summary ofEPA's review ofand rationale for approving this SIP revision maybe foundin the TSD for this action which is available in the docket. No public comments were received on the NPR.

III. Final Action

EPA is approving the Maryland SIP revision which adopts the CTG standards for offsetlithographic printing and letterpress printinginto the Code of Maryland. IV. Statutory and Executive Order

Reviews

A. GeneralRequirements

Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions ofthe CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role isto approve state choices, provided that theymeet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state lawas meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond 43000
