A C TIO N: Direct final rule

.

S U MM A R Y: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking

direct final action to approve revisions to the California Air

Resources Board portion of the California State Implementation

Plan (SIP). These revisions concern volatile organic compound

(VOC) emissions from consumer products. We are approving a local

rule that regulates these emission sources under the Clean Air

Act (CAA o r the Act)

.

D A TE S: This rule is effective on [Insert date 60 days from the

date of publication in the Federal Register] without furthe r

notice, unless EPA receives adverse comments by [Insert date 3 0

met the completeness criteria in 40 CFR Part 51 Appendix V, whic h

must be met before formal EPA review.

B. Are there other versions of this rule ?

We approved an earlier version of CARB’s Consumer Products

Regulation (amended on August 6, 2010 and submitted to EPA on

January 28, 2011), into the SIP on February 13, 2012 (77 FR

7535). CARB’s submittal letter advised EPA that its SIP

submission did not include the second tier 3% VOC limits fo r

Multi-purpose Solvents and Paint Thinners. CARB’s intent was t o

monitor manufacturers’ progress to meet both the technology

forcing lower VOC limit and a less flammable product. In 2013

CARB determined the 3% VOC limit for Multi-purpose Solvents an d

Paint Thinners was technically f e asible and included the limit i n

a May 28, 2014 SIP submittal

.

On September 29, 2011, and M arch 15, 2013 CARB adopted

additional revisions to the SIP-approved version and submitted

them to us along with the 3% VOC limit for Multi-purpose Solvent s

and Paint Thinners on May 28, 2014. Table 2 lists the three

amendments. While we can act on only the most recently amended

version that was submitted to EPA, we have reviewed materialsT h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

(1) The regulations are necessary to attain state and

federal ambient air quality standards

.

(2) The regulations are commercially and

CARB’s May 28, 2014 submittal contains the following three

amendments to its Consumer Products Regulation: 1) the second

tier 3% VOC limits for Multi-purpose Solvents and Paint Thinners

from CARB's August 6, 2010 amendments (September 24, 2009 Boar d

Hearing), but excluded from CARB’s January 28, 2011 SIP

s u bm i tt al 2 ; 2) CARB’s September 29, 2011 amendments (November 18,

2010 Board Hearing), which established new or lower VOC limits

for 11 consumer product categories; and 3) CARB’s March 15, 2013

amendments (October 18, 2012 Board Hearing), which incorporate s

additional areas where higher VOC automobile windshield washer

fluid could be sold to accom m odate mountainous areas tha t

The amendments also: (1) add or modify the definitions for

artist’s solvent/thinner, oven cleaners, spot removers, and the

“Most Restrictive Limit” provision; (2) consolidate existing

requirements into a table listin g the consumer product categorie s

that prohibit the use of the toxic air contaminants methylene

chloride, perchloroethylene, and trichloroethylene. This will

make it easier to find the requirements for all consumer product

categories where use of these compounds is prohibited; (3)

consolidate into a table listing the consumer product categories

that prohibit the use of compounds with a global warming

potential (GWP) of 150 or greater; (4) consolidate into a table

listing the consumer products that prohibit the use of paradichlorobenzene; (5) add additional test methods to be used to

determine the aromatic content of Multi-purpose Solvents and

Paint Thinners and the VOC content of Fabric Softener-Single Use

Drying Product; (6) raise the VOC limit for nonaerosol Oven or

Grill Cleaners products to 4% to accommodate the use of

noncaustic technologies; (7) delay the effective date until

December 31, 2012 for Spot Removers, and until December 31, 2013

Insecticide (aerosol); and (8) prohibit the use of alkylphenol

ethoxylates in certain products t o ensure these compounds are no t

used when reformul a ting the products.

Generally, CARB received support for its amendments fro m

both the consumer products industry and environmental

organizations. Although industry commented about the serious and

costly reformulation challenges p osed by the amendments, industr y

was committed to expending the money to conduct the research and

development necessary to meet th e new requirements. Environmenta l

organizations were also generally supportive of the proactive

approach CARB was taking to prohibit the use of certain toxic

compounds in order to help protect the health of workers an d

consumers, and prohibiting the use of compounds with high global

warming potential in the reformulation of products to meet lower

VOC limits.

CARB estimates that raising the VOC limit for Oven or Gril l

Cleaners to 4% will result in an increase of approximately 0.1

tons per day (tpd) and that increasing the number of areas where

higher VOC automotive windshield washer fluid could be sold will

result in an increase of 0.12 tpd VOC. CARB’s staff reports

indicate these increases would be offset by approximately 11 tpdT h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

technical support document (TSD) has more information about this

.

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action.

A. How is EPA evaluating the rule?

CAA section 110(a)(2)(A) requires that regulations submitte d

to EPA for approval into a SIP must be clear and legally

enforceable. CAA section 110(l) prohibits EPA from approving any

SIP revision that would interfer e with any applicable requiremen t

concerning attainment and reasonable further progress (RFP) or

any other applicable require m ent of the CAA. California' s

consumer products regulation covers VOC area sources and not

stationary sources. In 1998 EPA promulgated a national rule to

regulate VOC emissions from consumer products (63 FR 48831,

September 11, 1998). EPA's national rule largely parallels an

early SIP-approved version o f CARB’s consumer product s

regulation. The amendments from CARB that we are approving today

regulate nearly three times the number of consumer product

categories and has more stringent VOC limits than categories

covered under EPA’s 1998 national rule. CARB points out that

although emissions from individu a l consumer products may not see mT h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

large, collectively, they represent a significant source of

emissions when taking into account 39 million California

residents use these products and that given the severity of ai r

pollution in California, “dramatic emission reductions from al l

sources contributing to ground-level ozone are necessary”. 3 CA R B

estimates that ozone pollution damage to crops is estimated to

cost agriculture over $500 million dollars annually. 4

Guidance and policy documents that we use to evaluat e

enforceability and SIP requirements consistently include th e

f o llo w in g :

1. “Issues Relating to VOC Regulation Cutpoints, Deficiencies,

and Deviations,” EPA, May 25, 1988, revised January 11, 2000

(the Bluebook)

2. “State Implementation Plans; General Preamble for the

Implementation of Title I of the Clean Air Act Amendments of

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation criteria?

We believe this rule is consistent with the relevant policy

and guidance regarding enforceability and SIP relaxations. CARB

estimates that raising the VOC limit for Oven or Grill Cleaners

and increasing the mountainous areas where higher VOC windshield

washer fluid can be sold will increase VOC emissions by

approximately 0.1 and 0.12 tpd respectively, but that these

increases are offset by VOC reductions (approximately 11 tpd)

from other consumer product categories. We have reviewed CARB’s

analysis and agree that the emission increases are offset by

greater VOC reductions achie v ed in other consumer produc t

categories and that it will not interfere with attainment, RFP,

or any other applicable CAA r equirement. Our TSD has mor e

information on our evaluation.

Our action is being taken un d er CAA Title 1 part D and is

limited to the control of criteria pollutants. However, we

support CARB’s actions to limit toxic or potentially toxicT h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

.

C. Public comment and final action.

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

approving the submitted rule because we believe it fulfills al l

relevant requirements. We do not think anyone will object to thi s

approval, so we are finalizi n g it without proposing it i n

advance. However, in the Proposed Rules section of this F e der a l

R e gi s t er

, we are simultaneously pro p osing approval of the same

submitted rule. If we receive ad v erse comments by [Insert date 3 0

days from date of publication in the Federal Register], we wil l

publish a timely w ithdrawal in the Federal R egister to not i fy the

public that the direct final app r oval will not take effect and w e

will address the comments in a subsequent final action based o n

the proposal. If we do not receive timely adverse comments, th e

direct final approval will be ef f ective without further notice o n

[Insert date 60 days from date of publication in the Federa l

Register]. This will incorporate the rule into the federall y

enforcea b le SIP

.

Please note that if EPA rec e ives adverse comment on an

amendment, paragraph, or sec t ion of this rule and if tha tT h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may

adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the

subject of an adverse comment.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

.

Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required t o

approve a SIP submission that co m plies with the provisions of th e

Act and applicable Federal regul a tions. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CF R

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, t his action merely approves Stat e

law 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 Orde r

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 e t

s e q. ) ;T h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

• is certified as not having a significant economic impact o n

• does not contain any unfund e d mandate or significantly or

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Public Law 104-4) ;

• does not have Federalism implications as specified i n

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 Executiv e

Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);

• is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of th e

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

.

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 ap p roved to apply in Indian countr y

located in the State, and EPA notes that it will not impose

substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal

la w

.

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

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 e ach House of the Congress and t o

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 effec t

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).T h i s d o c u m e n t i s a p r e p u b l i c at i o n v e r s i o n , s i g n e d b y J a r e d B l um e n f e ld

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

judicial review of this action m u st be filed in the United State s

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 ma y

be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rul e

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

encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notic e

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 r eview of this direct final rule

,

so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address th e

comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be

challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements (see

section 3 0 7(b)(2))
