ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R09-OAR-2014-0469; FRL-9912-67-Region-9]

Revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan; State 

Stationary Source Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking 

direct final action to approve revisions to the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions include two State 

statutes and certain State rules that govern stationary sources 

under the jurisdiction of the Arizona Department of 

Environmental Quality and that establish definitions and other 

general provisions; ambient air quality standards and area 

designations; and emissions limitations and other requirements 

for certain types of stationary sources. Generally, approval of 

these revisions updates and replaces previously approved 

provisions in the Arizona SIP, but the EPA is also approving a 

few rules that are new to the Arizona SIP and a few rescissions 

that remove certain other rules from the Arizona SIP without 

replacement. The EPA is approving these revisions because they 

meet all applicable requirements of the Clean Air Act.

DATES: This rule is effective on [Insert date 60 days from the 
2

date of publication in the Federal Register] without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by [Insert date 30 

days from the date of publication in the Federal Register]. If 

we receive such comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal in 

the Federal Register to notify the public that this direct final 

rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by docket number EPAR09-OAR-2014-0469, by one of the following methods:

1. Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov. Follow 

the on-line instructions.

2. E-mail: steckel.andrew@epa.gov.

3. Mail or deliver: Andrew Steckel (Air-4), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San

Francisco, CA 94105-3901. 

Instructions: All comments will be included in the public 

docket without change and may be made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any personal information 

provided, unless the comment includes Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information that you consider CBI or 

otherwise protected should be clearly identified as such and 

should not be submitted through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 

www.regulations.gov is an “anonymous access” system, and EPA 
3

will not know your identity or contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. If you send e-mail 

directly to EPA, your e-mail address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the public comment. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and 

cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to 

consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any 

defects or viruses.

Docket: Generally, documents in the docket for this action are

available electronically at www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at EPA Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California

94105-3901. While all documents in the docket are listed at 

www.regulations.gov, some information may be publicly available 

only at the hard copy location (e.g., copyrighted material, 

large maps), and some may not be publicly available in either 

location (e.g., CBI). To inspect the hard copy materials, please 

schedule an appointment during normal business hours with the 

contact listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section.

I. The State’s Submittal

A. What statutes and rules did the State submit?

On July 15, 1998, July 28, 2011, and October 29, 2012, the 

Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) submitted 

revisions to the Arizona State Implementation Plan (SIP). ADEQ 

supplemented the 1998 and 2011 submittals on May 16, 2014, and 

supplemented the 2012 submittal on September 6, 2013. 

These revisions include certain statutes and rules 

regulating stationary sources under ADEQ’s jurisdiction. Under 

section 110(k)(3) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or “Act”), EPA is 
5

obligated to approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve SIPs 

and SIP revisions. Table 1 lists the statutes and rules that we 

are approving in today’s action with the corresponding effective 

dates and submittal dates.

C. What is the purpose of the submitted statutes and rules? 

ADEQ submitted the statutes and rules to update the Arizona 
15

SIP and to delete rules that have been repealed or are otherwise 

unnecessary to retain in the SIP because the sources to which 

the requirements had applied no longer exist. The requirements 

set forth in the submitted statutes and rules include the types 

of requirements that are needed to comply with CAA section 

110(a). EPA’s technical support document (TSD) has more 

information about these statutes and rules.

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action

A. How is EPA evaluating the submitted provisions?

Generally, SIP requirements must be enforceable (see

section 110(a) of the Act) and must not modify the SIP

inconsistent with sections 110(l) and 193. 

B. Do the submitted provisions meet all applicable

requirements?

The statutes and rule revisions approved herein generally 

renumber and otherwise update statutes and rules that we 

approved previously in the Arizona SIP. The updated statutes and 

rules approved herein do not relax any existing emissions limits 

or standards and meet all applicable requirements. Our approval 

of them is consistent with the relevant policy and guidance 

regarding enforceability and SIP relaxations. The TSD has more 

information on our evaluation.

C. Public comment and final action.
16

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of the Act, the EPA is 

approving the submitted statutes and rule revisions listed in 

table 1 because we believe they meet all relevant CAA 

requirements. We do not think anyone will object to this 

approval, so we are finalizing it without proposing it in 

advance. However, in the Proposed Rules section of this Federal

Register, we are simultaneously proposing approval of the same

submitted revisions. If we receive adverse comments by [Insert 

date 30 days from date of publication in the Federal Register], 

we will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal Register to 

notify the public that the direct final approval will not take 

effect and we will address the comments in a subsequent final 

action based on the proposal. If we do not receive timely 

adverse comments, the direct final approval will be effective 

without further notice on [Insert date 60 days from date of 

publication in the Federal Register]. This will incorporate 

these statutes and rule revisions into the federally enforceable 

SIP.

III. 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 
17

is to approve State choices, provided that they meet the 

criteria of the Clean Air Act. Accordingly, this action merely 

approves State statutes and rule revisions as meeting Federal 

requirements and does not impose 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 

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 (Public Law 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);
18

• 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 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.

The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as 

added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act 

of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, 

the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, 

which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress 
19

and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will 

submit a report containing this action and other required 

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

Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. 

A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is 

published in the Federal Register. This action is not a “major 

rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 

judicial review of this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by [Insert 

date 60 days from date of publication of this document in the 

Federal Register]. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of 

this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may 

be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule 

or action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice 

of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the Proposed 

Rules section of today’s Federal Register, rather than file an 

immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final 

rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and 
20

address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its 

requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).
