VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On March 12, 2008, the EPA 

promulgated a revised 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS of 0.075 parts per million 

(ppm).1 Upon promulgation of a new or 

revised NAAQS, the CAA requires the 

EPA to designate as nonattainment any 

area that is violating the NAAQS based 

on the three most recent years of 

ambient air quality data. The three 

California air Districts that are subject to 

this action were designated 

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS on April 30, 2012, using 

years 2009–2011 ambient air quality 

data.2 At the time of designation, the 

SCAQMD was classified as an Extreme 

ozone nonattainment area for the South 

Coast Air Basin and a Severe ozone 

nonattainment area for the Coachella 

Valley Air Basin. The SJVAPCD was 

classified as an Extreme ozone 

nonattainment area, and the YSAQMD 

was classified as a Severe ozone 

nonattainment area. 

On March 6, 2015, EPA issued a final 

rule entitled, ‘‘Implementation of the 

2008 National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards for Ozone: State 

Implementation Plan Requirements’’ 

(SIP Requirements Rule), which 

establishes the requirements and 

deadlines that state, tribal, and local air 

quality management agencies must meet 

as they develop implementation plans 

for areas where ozone concentrations 

exceed the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS.3

Based on the initial nonattainment 

designations for the 2008 8-hour ozone 

standard, each District was required to 

make a SIP revision addressing 

nonattainment new source review no 

later than July 20, 2015.4 This 

requirement may be met by submitting 

a SIP revision consisting of a new or 

revised NNSR permit program, or an 

analysis demonstrating that the existing 

SIP-approved NNSR permit program 

meets the applicable 2008 ozone 

requirements and a letter certifying the 

analysis. 

On February 3, 2017, EPA issued a 

final rule entitled, ‘‘Findings of Failure 

to Submit State Implementation Plan 

Submittals for the 2008 Ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards 

(NAAQS)’’ (FFS Rule). The rule found 

that certain state and local air agencies, 

including the SCAQMD, SJVAPCD and 

YSAQMD, had failed to submit a SIP 

revision in a timely manner to satisfy 

specific New Source Review 

requirements that apply to 

nonattainment areas. The rule 

established certain deadlines for the 

imposition of sanctions, if a state does 

not submit a timely SIP revision 

addressing the requirements for which 

the finding was made, and for the EPA 

to promulgate a Federal Implementation 

Plan (FIP) to address any outstanding 

SIP requirements. 

II. The State’s Submittal 

A. What did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the dates the submitted 

2008 Ozone Certification letters 

addressed by this proposal were 

adopted by each air District and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB), the agency 

that serves as the governor’s designee 

for California SIP submittals.

Yolo-Solano AQMD ................................................................................................................................................. 3/14/18 6/19/18 

On July 31, 2018, CARB’s November 

16, 2017 submittal of SCAQMD’s 2008 

Certification letter was deemed to meet 

the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V, which must be met 

before formal EPA review. On July 18, 

2018, CARB’s June 19, 2018 submittal of 

SJVAPCD’s and YSAQMD’s 2008 

Certification letters were also deemed to 

meet the completeness criteria in 40 

CFR part 51, appendix V. 

B. What is the purpose of the submitted 

certification letters? 

The submittal from each District is 

intended to satisfy the SIP Requirement 

Rule that requires states to make a SIP 

revision addressing nonattainment new 

source review and the FFS Rule that 

requires each District to make a SIP 

submittal by September 6, 2018. The SIP 

for each District currently contains 

approved NNSR permit programs based 

on their nonattainment classification for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The 

submitted certification letters provide a 

mechanism for each District to satisfy 

the 40 CFR 51.1114 submittal 

requirements based on their 2008 8-hr 

ozone nonattainment designations. 

EPA’s analysis of how these SIP 

revisions address the NNSR 

requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS is provided below. 

III. Analysis of Nonattainment New 

Source Review Requirements 

The minimum SIP requirements for 

NNSR permitting programs for the 2008 

8-hour ozone NAAQS are contained in 

40 CFR 51.165. These NNSR program 

requirements include those promulgated 

in the ‘‘Phase 2 Rule’’ implementing the 

1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS 5 and the 

SIP Requirements Rule implementing 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. Under 

the Phase 2 Rule, the SIP for each ozone 

nonattainment area must contain NNSR 

provisions that: (1) Set major source 

thresholds for nitrogen oxides (NOX) 

and volatile organic compounds (VOC) 

pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(1)(i)–(iv) and (2); (2) 

classify physical changes at a major

source if the change would constitute a 

major source by itself pursuant to 40 

CFR 51.165(a)(1)(iv)(A)(3); (3) consider 

any significant net emissions increase of 

NOX as a significant net emissions 

increase for ozone pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(v)(E); (4) consider any 

increase of VOC emissions in extreme 

ozone nonattainment areas as significant 

net emissions increases and major 

modifications for ozone pursuant to 40 

CFR 51.165(a)(1)(v)(F); (5) set significant 

emissions rates for VOC and NOX as 

ozone precursors pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(1)(x)(A)–(C) and (E); (6) 

contain provisions for emissions 

reductions credits pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(3)(ii)(C)(1)–(2); (7) provide 

that the requirements applicable to VOC 

also apply to NOX pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(8); and (8) set offset ratios for 

VOC and NOX pursuant to 40 CFR 

51.165(a)(9)(ii)–(iv). Under the SIP 

Requirements Rule the SIP for each 

ozone nonattainment area designated 

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS and designated 

nonattainment for the 1997 ozone 

NAAQS as of April 6, 2015, must also 

contain NNSR provisions that include 

the anti-backsliding requirements at 40 

CFR 51.1105. 

A. South Coast Air Quality Management 

District (SCAQMD) 

The SCAQMD’s longstanding SIPapproved NNSR program,6 established 

in Regulation XIII—New Source Review, 

of the SCAQMD’s Rules and 

Regulations, applies to the construction 

and modification of stationary sources, 

including major stationary sources in 

nonattainment areas under its 

jurisdiction. The SCAQMD’s submitted 

SIP revision includes a demonstration, 

consisting of a table listing each of the 

Phase 2 Rule and SIP Requirements 

Rule NNSR program requirements and a 

citation to the specific provision of the 

rule satisfying the requirement. The 

submittal also includes a certification by 

the SCAQMD that the cited rules meet 

the federal NNSR requirements for the 

applicable ozone nonattainment 

designations. These documents are 

available in the docket for this action. 

EPA has reviewed the demonstration 

and cited program elements intended to 

meet the federal NNSR requirements 

and is proposing to approve the 

SCAQMD’s submittal because the 

current SIP-approved NSR program 

contains all the Phase 2 Rule and SIP 

Requirements Rule NNSR program 

requirements applicable to the South 

Coast Air Basin as an Extreme ozone 

nonattainment area, and all the 

requirements applicable to the 

Coachella Valley Air Basin as a Severe 

ozone nonattainment area. 

B. San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution 

Control District (SJVAPCD) 

The SJVAPCD’s longstanding SIPapproved NNSR program,7 established 

in Rule 2201—New and Modified 

Stationary Source Review Rule, applies 

to the construction and modification of 

stationary sources, including major 

stationary sources in nonattainment 

areas under its jurisdiction. The 

SJVAPCD’s submitted SIP revision 

includes a demonstration, consisting of 

a table listing each of the Phase 2 Rule 

and SIP Requirements Rule NNSR 

program requirements and a citation to 

the specific provision of the rule 

satisfying the requirement. The 

submittal also includes a certification by 

the SJVAPCD that the cited rules meet 

the federal NNSR requirements for the 

applicable ozone nonattainment 

designations. These documents are 

available in the docket for this action. 

EPA has reviewed the demonstration 

and cited program elements intended to 

meet the federal NNSR requirements 

and is proposing to approve the 

SJVAPCD’s submittal because the 

current SIP-approved NSR program 

contains all the Phase 2 Rule and SIP 

Requirements Rule NNSR program 

requirements applicable to an Extreme 

ozone nonattainment area. 

C. Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management 

District (YSAQMD) 

The YSAQMD’s longstanding SIPapproved NNSR program,8 established 

in Rule 3.4—New Source Review, 

applies to the construction and 

modification of stationary sources, 

including major stationary sources in 

nonattainment areas under its 

jurisdiction. The YSAQMD’s submitted 

SIP revision includes a demonstration, 

consisting of a table listing each of the 

Phase 2 Rule and SIP Requirements 

Rule NNSR program requirements and a 

citation to the specific provision of the 

rule satisfying the requirement. The 

submittal also includes a certification by 

the YSAQMD that the cited rules meet 

the federal NNSR requirements for the 

applicable ozone nonattainment 

designations. These documents are 

available in the docket for this action. 

EPA has reviewed the demonstration 

and cited program elements intended to 

meet the federal NNSR requirements 

and is proposing to approve the 

YSAQMD’s submittal because the 

current SIP-approved NSR program 

contains all the Phase 2 Rule and SIP 

Requirements Rule NNSR program 

requirements for a Severe ozone 

nonattainment area. 

IV. Proposed Action and Public 

Comment 

EPA is proposing to approve SIP 

revisions addressing the NNSR 

requirements for the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for the SCAQMD, SJVAPCD 

and YSAQMD. In support of this 

proposed action, we have concluded 

that our approval of the submitted 2008 

Ozone certifications for each District 

would comply with section 110(l) of the 

Act because the submittals will not 

interfere with continued attainment of 

the NAAQS in each District. EPA has 

concluded that the State’s submission 

fulfills the 40 CFR 51.1114 revision 

requirement and meets the requirements 

of CAA section 110 and the minimum 

SIP requirements of 40 CFR 51.165. The 

intended effect of our proposed action is 

to approve the submitted certifications 

as meeting the applicable Phase 2 Rule 

requirements. If we finalize this action 

as proposed, our action would 

incorporate these certifications into the 

federally enforceable SIP and be 

codified through revisions to 40 CFR 

52.220 (Identification of plan). 

We will accept comments from the 

public on this proposal until September 

19, 2018. 

In addition, the FFS Rule issued by 

EPA on February 3, 2017 started an 18- 

month sanctions clock and a 24-month 

Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) 

clock. See 82 FR 9158. The 18-month 

sanctions clock was stopped upon 

receipt of California’s SIP revisions and 

our determination that the submittals 

were complete. We determined the 

submittals were complete on July 18, 

2018, for the SJVAPCD and YSAQMD, 

and on July 31, 2018, for the SCAQMD. 

The 24-month FIP clock will stop upon 

the effective date of our final approval. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, the EPA is 

proposing to include in a final EPA rule, 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is proposing to 

incorporate by reference the 

certifications listed in Table 1 of this 

preamble. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these materials 

available electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and in hard copy 

at the EPA Region IX Office (please 

contact the person identified in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of 

this preamble for more information).

VI. 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 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 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 approved 

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 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).

amendments are in response to a 

petition for reconsideration filed by 

industry stakeholders on the final rule 

promulgated on October 26, 2015, as 

well as our review of the 2015 rule with 

respect to other issues raised by 

stakeholders. This action proposes to 

revise the temperature monitoring 

methodology used to demonstrate 

continuous compliance with the dioxin/ 

furan (D/F) emissions limit of the final 

rule. In addition, we are proposing to 

address concerns raised by industry 

stakeholders regarding visible emissions 

(VE) monitoring of tunnel kiln stacks for 

continuous compliance with particulate 

matter (PM) and mercury (Hg) emission 

limitations. This action also proposes to 

amend the requirements for weekly 

visual inspections of system ductwork 

and control device equipment for water 

curtain spray booths. Lastly, this action 

proposes to amend the NESHAP to 

include provisions for emissions 

averaging and make technical 

corrections.
