South Dakota’s June 29, 2013, submittal covers the following rule changes: (1) Removal of obsolete language regarding variance provisions and clean units, and renumbering to reflect the deletions; and (2) Revisions to the date of federal regulations referenced throughout ARSD Article 74:36 to July 1, 2012. A cross-walk table, which identifies the proposed rule revisions in Article 74:36 specifically, and the action EPA is proposing to take on those revisions, is included in the docket for this rulemaking.

South Dakota’s June 29, 2013 submittal also requests EPA approval of rule revisions for provisions that are not required to be included in SIPs under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), most notably additions to the State’s New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs). These revisions, which EPA is not proposing action on, are outlined in the cross-walk table located in the docket for this rulemaking. III. What action is EPA taking?

EPA is proposing to approve most revisions of South Dakota’s July 29, 2013 submittal as outlined in Section II. of this rulemaking that were not acted on previously. An overview of EPA’s proposed approval of each section is described below. The excepted revisions, on which EPA will not take action, are also described below. 74:36:01:01 (Definitions)

EPA is proposing to approve all changes in this section as outlined in the crosswalk table (see docket). These changes specifically remove the term ‘‘variance’’ previously included in the definitions of ‘‘existing source’’ and ‘‘new source,’’ and removes the definition of ‘‘variance.’’ The removal of the variance will strengthen the environmental protection provided by the SIP, and therefore EPA proposes to approve these changes. EPA is also proposing to approve all remaining changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. 74:36:02 (Ambient Air Quality) EPA is proposing to approve all changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. 74:36:04 (Operating Permits for Minor Sources)

EPA is proposing to approve all changes in this section, which remove citations to repealed provisions of South Dakota’s legal code regarding variances from the General Authorities and Implemented Laws provided. It also updates the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. 74:36:05 (Operating Permits for Part 70 Sources)

EPA is proposing to approve the changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012 and remove citations to repealed provisions of South Dakota’s legal code regarding variances from the General Authorities and Implemented Laws provided. 74:36:07 (New Source Performance Standards)

EPA is not taking action on this section because NSPS are not required to be included in a SIP per section 110 of the CAA.
74:36:08 (National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants)

EPA is not taking action on this section because NESHAPs are not required to be included in a SIP per section 110 of the CAA. 74:36:09 (Prevention of Significant Deterioration)

EPA is not taking action on this section of South Dakota’s July 29, 2013 submittal because it was acted upon by EPA in a final rulemaking dated January 29, 2015. (80 FR 4799)
74:36:10 (New Source Review)

EPA is proposing to approve all changes in this section that were not acted upon in an EPA final rule issued on June 27, 2014, with one exception. The provisions that EPA is proposing to act upon in this rulemaking are 74:36:10:09 and 74:36:10:10. These provisions remove obsolete language regarding clean units. EPA is not taking action on 74:36:10:06, which proposes to add PM 2.5 to the ‘‘Pollutant and Significant Levels’’ table and to renumber other pollutants in the table. On January 22, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia vacated and remanded portions of EPA’s 2010 PM 2.5 Increment Rule (75 FR 64864) addressing the Significant Impact Levels (SILs) for PM 2.5 . On December 9, 2013, EPA amended its regulations to remove the PM 2.5 SILs (78 FR 73698). Therefore, South Dakota’s incorporation of the PM 2.5 SILs into its SIP no longer reflects the current regulations. 74:36:11 (Performance Testing)

EPA is proposing to approve changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. 74:36:12 (Control of Visible Emissions)

EPA is proposing to approve the changes to 74:36:12:01 and 74:36:12:03 in the submittal, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012 and update the General Authorities and Laws Implemented. EPA is not taking action on the language change in 74:36:12:02(3). On February 22, 2013, EPA (among other things) made a finding of substantial inadequacy and issued a SIP call for certain provisions related to start-up, shutdown, and malfunction in current SIPs for specific states. For South Dakota the affected provision is 74:36:12:02(3). EPA is not taking action on this provision, because it will be addressed in the proposed SIP call.
74:36:13 (Continuous Emissions Monitoring)

EPA is proposing to approve changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. 74:36:16 (Acid Rain Program)

EPA is not taking action on this section because the Acid Rain Program is not required to be included in a SIP per section 110 of the CAA. 74:36:18 (Regulations for State Facilities in the Rapid City Area)

EPA is proposing to approve changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations for the visible emission test method to EPA Method 9 in 40 CFR part 60, Appendix A to July 1, 2012 and delete references to repealed provisions of the South Dakota Legal Code regarding variances. 74:36:20 (Construction Permits for New Sources or Modifications)

EPA is proposing to approve the changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012 and delete references to repealed


### 40954 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 134 / Tuesday, July 14, 2015 / Proposed Rules

provisions of the South Dakota Legal Code regarding variances. It also includes a change to 74:36:20:05 to ensure air pollution dispersion modeling used to determine compliance with that requirement is performed in accordance with 40 CFR part 51, Appendix W to July 1, 2012. 74:36:21 (Regional Haze Program)

EPA is proposing to approve changes in this section, which update the date of incorporation by reference of the federal regulations to July 1, 2012. IV. Proposed Clarification of January 29, 2015 Final Action

Under CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2), states are required to submit infrastructure SIPs to ensure their SIPs provide for implementation, maintenance, and enforcement of the NAAQS. As noted, on January 29, 2015, EPA took final action on the infrastructure submittals which addressed several different NAAQS from the State of South Dakota. (80 FR 4799). As part of the January 29, 2015 action, EPA approved South Dakota’s 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQS interstate transport infrastructure sub-element (CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II)). However, EPA had already approved this sub-element in a final rulemaking on May 8, 2008. (73 FR 26019, effective July 7, 2008). Therefore, in this action EPA is proposing to clarifythat no action was required on this subelement for this NAAQS in the January 29, 2015 approval of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS and the effective date of approval remains July 7, 2008. V. Summary of Proposed Action

In this proposed rulemaking, we are proposing approval of most remaining portions of South Dakota’s July 29, 2013 submittal as outlined in section III. above and in the crosswalk table located in the docket. We are proposing not to take action on certain portions of this submittal as described in section III. Finally, we are proposing to clarify our January 29, 2015 final action (80 FR 4799) regarding the effective date of approval for South Dakota’s SIP regarding CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(II) for the 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQS. VI. 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 the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by reference the rules in ARSD 74:36 submitted by South Dakota for action which are identified within this notice of proposed rulemaking. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the **ADDRESSES** section of this rule’s preamble for more information). VII. 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 actions, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed action merely approves state law provisions as meeting federal requirements and does not propose 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);

• 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, 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 proposed 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 country, the proposed 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).
