1 In areas where certain types of vacuum-assist 

Stage II vapor recovery systems are used, the 

differences in operational design characteristics 

between ORVR and some configurations of these 

Stage II vapor recovery systems result in the 

reduction of overall control system efficiency 

compared to what could have been achieved 

relative to the individual control efficiencies of 

either ORVR or stage II emissions from the vehicle 

fuel tank. 

Organization of this document. The 

following outline is provided to aid in 

locating information in this preamble. 

I. Background and Purpose 

II. Summary of Rhode Island’s SIP Revision 

III. EPA’s Evaluation of Rhode Island’s SIP 

Revision 

IV. Proposed Action 

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On December 13, 2013, the Rhode 

Island Department of Environmental 

Management submitted a revision to its 

State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 

SIP revision consists of Rhode Island’s 

revised Air Pollution Control Regulation 

No. 11, Petroleum Liquids Marketing 

and Storage, which has been revised to 

allow the decommissioning of Stage II 

vapor recovery systems and to 

strengthen Stage I vapor recovery 

requirements. The SIP submittal also 

includes a demonstration that removal 

of Stage II vapor recovery systems in 

Rhode Island is consistent with the 

Clean Air Act and EPA guidance. 

Stage II and onboard refueling vapor 

recovery (ORVR) systems are two types 

of emission control systems that capture 

fuel vapors from vehicle gas tanks 

during refueling. Stage II vapor recovery 

systems are installed at gasoline 

dispensing facilities (GDFs) and capture 

the refueling fuel vapors at the gasoline 

pump. The system carries the vapors 

back to the underground storage tank at 

the GDF to prevent the vapors from 

escaping to the atmosphere. ORVR 

systems are carbon canisters installed 

directly on automobiles to capture the 

fuel vapors evacuated from the gasoline 

tank before they reach the nozzle. The 

fuel vapors captured in the carbon 

canisters are then combusted in the 

engine when the automobile is in 

operation. 

Stage II vapor recovery systems and 

vehicle ORVR systems were initially 

both required by the 1990 Amendments 

to the Clean Air Act (CAA). Section 

182(b)(3) of the CAA requires moderate 

and above ozone nonattainment areas to 

implement Stage II vapor recovery 

programs. Also, under CAA section 

184(b)(2), states in the Ozone Transport 

Region (OTR) are required to implement 

Stage II or comparable measures. CAA 

section 202(a)(6) required EPA to 

promulgate regulations for ORVR for 

light-duty vehicles (passenger cars). 

EPA adopted these requirements in 

1994, at which point moderate ozone 

nonattainment areas were no longer 

subject to the CAA section 182(b)(3) 

Stage II vapor recovery requirements. 

ORVR equipment has been phased in for 

new passenger vehicles beginning with 

model year 1998, and starting with 

model year 2001 for light-duty trucks 

and most heavy-duty gasoline powered 

vehicles. ORVR equipment has been 

installed on nearly all new gasolinepowered light-duty vehicles, light-duty 

trucks, and heavy-duty vehicles since 

2006. 

During the phase-in of ORVR controls, 

Stage II has provided volatile organic 

compound (VOC) reductions in ozone 

nonattainment areas and certain 

attainment areas of the OTR. Congress 

recognized that ORVR systems and 

Stage II vapor recovery systems would 

eventually become largely redundant 

technologies, and provided authority to 

EPA to allow states to remove Stage II 

vapor recovery programs from their SIPs 

after EPA finds that ORVR is in 

‘‘widespread use.’’ Effective May 16, 

2012, the date the final rule was 

published in the Federal Register (see 

77 FR 28772), EPA determined that 

ORVR systems are in widespread use 

nationwide for control of gasoline 

emissions during refueling of vehicles at 

GDFs. Currently, more than 75 percent 

of gasoline refueling nationwide occurs 

with ORVR-equipped vehicles, so Stage 

II vapor recovery programs have become 

largely redundant control systems and 

Stage II vapor recovery systems achieve 

an ever declining emissions benefit as 

more ORVR-equipped vehicles continue 

to enter the on-road motor vehicle fleet.1

In its May 16, 2012 rulemaking, EPA 

also exercised its authority under CAA 

section 202(a)(6) to waive certain federal 

statutory requirements for Stage II vapor 

recovery systems at GDFs. This decision 

exempts all new ozone nonattainment 

areas classified serious or above from 

the requirement to adopt Stage II vapor 

recovery programs. Finally, EPA’s May 

16, 2012 rulemaking also noted that any 

state currently implementing Stage II 

vapor recovery programs may submit 

SIP revisions that would allow for the 

phase-out of Stage II vapor recovery 

systems. 

Stage I vapor recovery systems are 

systems that capture vapors displaced 

from storage tanks at GDFs during 

gasoline tank truck deliveries. When 

gasoline is delivered into an 

aboveground or underground storage 

tank, vapors that were taking up space 

in the storage tank are displaced by the 

gasoline entering the storage tank. The 

Stage I vapor recovery systems route 

these displaced vapors into the delivery 

truck’s tank. Some vapors are vented 

when the storage tank exceeds a 

specified pressure threshold, however 

the Stage I vapor recovery systems 

greatly reduce the possibility of these 

displaced vapors being released into the 

atmosphere. 

Stage I vapor recovery systems have 

been in place since the 1970s. EPA has 

issued the following guidance regarding 

Stage I systems: ‘‘Design Criteria for 

Stage I Vapor Control Systems— 

Gasoline Service Stations’’ (November 

1975, EPA Online Publication 

450R75102), which is regarded as the 

control techniques guideline (CTG) for 

the control of VOC emissions from this 

source category; and the EPA document 

‘‘Model Volatile Organic Compound 

Rules for Reasonably Available Control 

Technology’’ (Staff Working Draft, June 

1992) contains a model Stage I 

regulation. 

In more recent years, the California 

Air Resources Board (CARB) has 

required Stage I vapor recovery systems 

capable of achieving vapor control 

efficiencies higher than those achieved 

by traditional systems. These systems 

are commonly referred to as Enhanced 

Vapor Recovery (EVR) systems. 

II. Summary of Rhode Island’s SIP 

Revision 

Rhode Island adopted its Stage II 

Vapor Recovery Program in 1992 in 

order to satisfy the requirements of 

sections 182(b)(3) and 184(b)(2) of the 

CAA. The Rhode Island Stage II vapor 

recovery program requirements were 

codified in Rhode Island Air Pollution 

Control Regulation No. 11, Petroleum 

Liquids Marketing and Storage, and EPA 

approved the program into the Rhode 

Island SIP on December 17, 1993 (58 FR 

65930). Rhode Island’s rule required 

gasoline dispensing facilities throughout 

the state to install Stage II vapor 

recovery systems. 

On December 13, 2013, Rhode Island 

submitted a SIP revision consisting of 

its revised Air Pollution Control 

Regulation No. 11, Petroleum Liquids 

Marketing and Storage. This SIP 

revision includes regulatory 

amendments that allow GDFs to 

decommission their Stage II vapor 

recovery systems as of December 25, 

2013 and requires that all GDFs 

equipped with Stage II vapor recovery 

systems that are not compatible with 

ORVR, decommission their Stage II 

vapor recovery systems by December 22, 

2017. 

A GDF equipped with a Stage II vapor 

recovery system that is not ORVRcompatible can apply for an exemption 

to the Stage II removal requirement if 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 206 / Friday, October 24, 2014 / Proposed Rules 63593 

such GDF will install, by December 22, 

2017, air pollution control systems to 

control tank excess vent emissions 

resulting from that incompatibility. 

These GDFs are then required to 

continue to operate and maintain their 

Stage II vapor recovery systems in 

accordance with Rhode Island’s 

regulations, until the time when such 

Stage II vapor recovery system is ever 

decommissioned. Also, GDFs with 

ORVR-compatible Stage II vapor 

recovery systems may choose not to 

decommission as long as such systems 

continue to be operated and maintained 

in accordance with Rhode Island’s 

regulations, until the time when such 

Stage II vapor recovery system is ever 

decommissioned. 

In addition, the regulatory 

amendments in the SIP revision also 

include requirements for GDFs to 

upgrade their Stage I vapor recovery 

systems to CARB-certified Stage I EVR 

systems or a Stage I vapor recovery 

system composed of EVR system 

components (Stage I EVR component 

systems). As of December 25, 2013, the 

upgrade to Stage I EVR systems or a 

Stage I system composed of EVR 

components is required upon facility 

start-up for facilities beginning 

operation or installing a fuel storage 

tank. Also as of December 25, 2013, any 

component of a pre-existing Stage I 

vapor recovery system that is replaced, 

is required to be replaced with a CARBcertified Stage I EVR component. The 

Rhode Island regulation further requires 

that all Stage I systems be CARBcertified Stage I EVR systems or Stage I 

EVR component systems by December 

25, 2020. 

The December 13, 2013 SIP revision 

also includes a narrative demonstration 

supporting the discontinuation of the 

Rhode Island Stage II vapor recovery 

program. This demonstration consists of 

an analysis that the Stage II vapor 

recovery controls provide only de 

minimis emission reductions due to the 

prevalence of ORVR-equipped vehicles. 

III. EPA’s Evaluation of Rhode Island’s 

SIP Revision 

EPA has reviewed Rhode Island’s 

revised Air Pollution Control Regulation 

No. 11, Petroleum Liquids Marketing 

and Storage, and accompanying SIP 

narrative and has concluded that Rhode 

Island’s December 13, 2013 SIP revision 

is consistent with EPA’s widespread use 

rule (77 FR 28772, May 16, 2012) and 

EPA’s ‘‘Guidance on Removing Stage II 

Gasoline Vapor Control Programs from 

State Implementation Plans and 

Assessing Comparable Measures’’ (EPA– 

457/B–12–001; August 7, 2012), 

hereafter referred to as EPA’s Guidance 

Document. 

Rhode Island’s December 13, 2013 SIP 

revision includes a CAA section 110(l) 

anti-back sliding demonstration based 

on equations in EPA’s Guidance 

Document. According to these 

calculations, the potential loss of 

refueling emission reductions from 

removing Stage II vapor recovery 

systems in 2013 (the effective date of the 

regulation amendments) is 7.2 percent, 

thus meeting the 10 percent de minimis 

recommendation in EPA’s Guidance 

Document. 

In addition, Rhode Island’s December 

13, 2013 SIP revision also includes 

calculations illustrating that the overall 

emissions effect of removing the Stage II 

vapor recovery program would be an 

increase of 69 tons in 2013. EPA’s 2011 

National Emissions Inventory database, 

Version 1, illustrates that Rhode Island’s 

statewide anthropogenic VOC emissions 

were about 22,248 tons (see 

www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/

2011inventory.html), therefore the 69 

annual tons of VOC emissions increase 

calculated by Rhode Island are only 

about 0.3 percent of the total 

anthropogenic VOC emissions in Rhode 

Island. Also, these foregone emissions 

reductions in the near term continue to 

diminish rapidly over time as ORVR 

phase-in continues. Therefore, EPA 

believes that the resulting temporary 

increases in VOC emissions will not 

interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the ozone NAAQS. 

With respect to Stage I vapor recovery 

requirements, Rhode Island’s revised 

Regulation No. 11 is more stringent than 

the previously approved version of the 

rule, thus meeting the CAA section 

110(l) anti-back sliding requirements. 

As noted above, the revised rule 

requires upgrades to a CARB-certified 

EVR Stage I system or a Stage I system 

made up of EVR components by 

December 25, 2020, with an earlier 

December 25, 2013 compliance date in 

the case of a new facility or when 

system components are being replaced. 

CARB-certified Stage I EVR systems 

have been certified to achieve a 98 

percent reduction in VOC emissions, as 

compared to 95 percent for pre-EVR 

Stage I systems. 

IV. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve Rhode 

Island’s December 13, 2013 SIP revision. 

Specifically, EPA is proposing to 

approve Rhode Island’s revised Air 

Pollution Control Regulation No. 11, 

Petroleum Liquids Marketing and 

Storage, and incorporate it into the 

Rhode Island SIP. EPA is proposing to 

approve this SIP revision because it 

meets all applicable requirements of the 

Clean Air Act and EPA guidance, and it 

will not interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the ozone NAAQS. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this notice or on 

other relevant matters. These comments 

will be considered before taking final 

action. Interested parties may 

participate in the Federal rulemaking 

procedure by submitting written 

comments to the EPA New England 

Regional Office listed in the ADDRESSES

section of this Federal Register. 

V. 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 proposed 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 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 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
63594 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 206 / Friday, October 24, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

• 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.
