Region 6] 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to Texas 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has 

submitted updated regulations for 

receiving delegation of EPA authority 

for implementation and enforcement of 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPs) 

for all sources (both part 70 and nonpart 70 sources). These regulations 

apply to certain NESHAPs promulgated 

by the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) at 40 CFR part 63, as amended 

between April 13, 2004 and April 24, 

2013. The delegation of authority under 

this action does not apply to sources 

located in Indian Country. EPA is taking 

direct final action to approve the 

delegation of certain NESHAPs to 

TCEQ. 

DATES: This rule is effective on January 

26, 2015 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives relevant adverse comment 

by December 26, 2014. If EPA receives 

such comment, EPA will publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register informing the public that this 

rule will not take effect.

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What does this action do? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve the delegation of certain 

NESHAPs to TCEQ. With this 

delegation, TCEQ has the primary 

responsibility to implement and enforce 

the delegated standards. See sections V 

and VI, below, for a discussion of which 

standards are being delegated and 

which are not being delegated. 

II. What is the authority for delegation? 

Section 112(l) of the CAA, and 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart E, authorizes EPA to 

delegate authority to any State or local 

agency which submits adequate 

regulatory procedures for 

implementation and enforcement of 

emission standards for hazardous air 

pollutants. The hazardous air pollutant 

standards are codified at 40 CFR part 63. 

III. What criteria must Texas’ program 

meet to be approved? 

Section 112(l) of the CAA enables 

EPA to approve State air toxics 

programs or rules to operate in place of 

the Federal air toxics program or rules. 

40 CFR part 63, subpart E (subpart E) 

governs EPA’s approval of State rules or 

programs under section 112(l). 

EPA will approve an air toxics 

program if we find that: 

(1) The State program is ‘‘no less 

stringent’’ than the corresponding 

Federal program or rule; 

(2) The State has adequate authority 

and resources to implement the 

program; 

(3) The schedule for implementation 

and compliance is sufficiently 

expeditious; and 

(4) The program otherwise complies 

with Federal guidance. 

In order to obtain approval of its 

program to implement and enforce 

Federal section 112 rules as 

promulgated without changes (straight 

delegation), only the criteria of 40 CFR 

63.91(d) must be met. 40 CFR 

63.91(d)(3) provides that interim or final 

Title V program approval will satisfy the 

criteria of 40 CFR 63.91(d) for part 70 

sources. 

IV. How did TCEQ meet the Subpart E 

approval criteria? 

As part of its Title V submission, 

TCEQ stated that it intended to use the 

mechanism of incorporation by 

reference to adopt unchanged Federal 

section 112 into its regulations. This 

applied to both existing and future 

standards as they applied to part 70 

sources ((60 FR 30444 (June 7, 1995) 

and 61 FR 32699 (June 25, 1996)). On 

December 6, 2001, EPA promulgated 

final full approval of the State’s 

operating permits program effective 

November 30, 2001 (66 FR 63318). The 

TCEQ was originally delegated the 

authority to implement certain 

NESHAPs effective May 17, 2005 (70 FR 

13108). Under 40 CFR 63.91(d)(2), once 

a State has satisfied up-front approval 

criteria, it needs only to reference the 

previous demonstration and reaffirm 

that it still meets the criteria for any 

subsequent submittals. TCEQ has 

affirmed that it still meets the up-front 

approval criteria. 

V. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated January 16, 2008, 

TCEQ requested EPA to update its 

existing NESHAP delegation. The TCEQ 

requests delegation of certain Part 63 

NESHAPs for all sources (both part 70 

and non-part 70 sources). TCEQ’s 

request included newly incorporated 

NESHAPs promulgated by EPA and 

amendments to existing standards 

currently delegated, as amended 

between April 13, 2004 and October 29, 

2007. These NESHAP were adopted by 

the TCEQ on December 5, 2007. 

By letter dated August 28, 2013, EPA 

received a second request from TCEQ to 

update its existing NESHAP delegation. 

The TCEQ requests delegation of certain 

Part 63 NESHAPs for all sources (both 

part 70 and non-part 70 sources). 

TCEQ’s request included newly 

incorporated NESHAPs promulgated by 

EPA and amendments to existing 

standards that are currently delegated, 

as amended between October 30, 2007 

and April 24, 2013. These NESHAP 


wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
70104 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

were adopted by the TCEQ on July 26, 

2013. 

VI. What is not being delegated? 

EPA cannot delegate to a State any of 

the Category II Subpart A authorities set 

forth in 40 CFR 63.91(g) (2). These 

include the following provisions: 

§ 63.6(g), Approval of Alternative NonOpacity Standards; § 63.6(h)(9), 

Approval of Alternative Opacity 

Standards; § 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), 

Approval of Major Alternatives to Test 

Methods; § 63.8(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Monitoring; and 

§ 63.10(f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting. In addition, some Part 63 

standards have certain provisions that 

cannot be delegated to the States. 

Therefore, any Part 63 standard that 

EPA is delegating to TCEQ that provides 

that certain authorities cannot be 

delegated are retained by EPA and not 

delegated. Furthermore, no authorities 

are delegated that require rulemaking in 

the Federal Register to implement, or 

where Federal overview is the only way 

to ensure national consistency in the 

application of the standards or 

requirements of CAA section 112. 

Finally, section 112(r), the accidental 

release program authority, is not being 

delegated by this approval. 

All of the inquiries and requests 

concerning implementation and 

enforcement of the excluded standards 

in the State of Texas should be directed 

to the EPA Region 6 Office. 

In addition, this delegation to TCEQ 

to implement and enforce certain 

NESHAPs does not extend to sources or 

activities located in Indian country, as 

defined in 18 U.S.C. 1151. Under this 

definition, EPA treats as reservations, 

trust lands validly set aside for the use 

of a Tribe even if the trust lands have 

not been formally designated as a 

reservation. Consistent with previous 

federal program approvals or 

delegations, EPA will continue to 

implement the NESHAPs in Indian 

country because TCEQ has not 

submitted information to demonstrate 

authority over sources and activities 

located within the exterior boundaries 

of Indian reservations and other areas in 

Indian country. 

VII. How will applicability 

determinations under Section 112 be 

made? 

In approving this delegation, TCEQ 

will obtain concurrence from EPA on 

any matter involving the interpretation 

of section 112 of the CAA or 40 CFR 

part 63 to the extent that 

implementation, administration, or 

enforcement of these sections have not 

been covered by EPA determinations or 

guidance. 

VIII. What authority does EPA have? 

We retain the right, as provided by 

CAA section 112(l)(7), to enforce any 

applicable emission standard or 

requirement under section 112. EPA 

also has the authority to make certain 

decisions under the General Provisions 

(subpart A) of part 63. We are granting 

TCEQ some of these authorities, and 

retaining others, as explained in 

sections V and VI above. In addition, 

EPA may review and disapprove of 

State determinations and subsequently 

require corrections. (See 40 CFR 

63.91(g) and 65 FR 55810, 55823, 

September 14, 2000, as amended at 70 

FR 59887, October 13, 2005; 72 FR 

27443, May 16, 2007.) 

Furthermore, we retain any authority 

in an individual emission standard that 

may not be delegated according to 

provisions of the standard. Also, listed 

in the footnotes of the part 63 delegation 

table at the end of this rule are the 

authorities that cannot be delegated to 

any State or local agency which we 

therefore retain. 

IX. What information must TCEQ 

provide to EPA? 

TCEQ must provide any additional 

compliance related information to EPA, 

Region 6, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance within 45 days 

of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). 

In receiving delegation for specific 

General Provisions authorities, TCEQ 

must submit to EPA Region 6 on a semiannual basis, copies of determinations 

issued under these authorities. For part 

63 standards, these determinations 

include: Section 63.1, Applicability 

Determinations; Section 63.6(e), 

Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and 

Visible Emissions Standards— 

Responsibility for Determining 

Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and 

(d), Approval of Site-Specific Test 

Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of 

Minor Alternatives to Test Methods; 

Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval 

of Intermediate Alternatives to Test 

Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval 

of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes 

When Necessitated by Process Variables 

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension 

of Performance Test Deadline. 

X. What is EPA’s oversight of this 

delegation to TCEQ? 

EPA must oversee TCEQ’s decisions 

to ensure the delegated authorities are 

being adequately implemented and 

enforced. We will integrate oversight of 

the delegated authorities into the 

existing mechanisms and resources for 

oversight currently in place. If, during 

oversight, we determine that TCEQ 

made decisions that decreased the 

stringency of the delegated standards, 

then TCEQ shall be required to take 

corrective actions and the source(s) 

affected by the decisions will be 

notified, as required by 40 CFR 

63.91(g)(1)(ii). We will initiate 

withdrawal of the program or rule if the 

corrective actions taken are insufficient. 

XI. Should sources submit notices to 

EPA or TCEQ? 

For the NESHAPs being delegated and 

included in the table below, all of the 

information required pursuant to the 

general provisions and the relevant 

subpart of the Federal NESHAP (40 CFR 

part 63) should be submitted by sources 

located outside of Indian country, 

directly to the TCEQ at the following 

address: Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality, Office of 

Permitting, Remediation and 

Registration, Air Permits Division (MC 

163), P.O. Box 13087, Austin, Texas 

78711–3087. The TCEQ is the primary 

point of contact with respect to 

delegated NESHAPs. Sources do not 

need to send a copy to EPA. EPA Region 

6 waives the requirement that 

notifications and reports for delegated 

standards be submitted to EPA in 

addition to TCEQ in accordance with 40 

CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For 

those standards that are not delegated, 

sources must continue to submit all 

appropriate information to EPA. 

XII. How will unchanged authorities be 

delegated to TCEQ in the future? 

In the future, TCEQ will only need to 

send a letter of request to EPA, Region 

6, for NESHAP regulations that TCEQ 

has adopted by reference. The letter 

must reference the previous up-front 

approval demonstration and reaffirm 

that it still meets the up-front approval 

criteria. We will respond in writing to 


wreier-aviles on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 227 / Tuesday, November 25, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 70105 

the request stating that the request for 

delegation is either granted or denied. A 

Federal Register action will be 

published to inform the public and 

affected sources of the delegation, 

indicate where source notifications and 

reports should be sent, and to amend 

the relevant portions of the Code of 

Federal Regulations showing which 

NESHAP standards have been delegated 

to TCEQ. 

XIII. Final Action 

The public was provided the 

opportunity to comment on the 

proposed approval of the program and 

mechanism for delegation of section 112 

standards, as they apply to part 70 

sources, on June 7, 1995, for the 

proposed interim approval of TCEQ’s 

Title V operating permits program; and 

on October 11, 2001, for the proposed 

final approval of TCEQ’s Title V 

operating permits program. In EPA’s 

final full approval of Texas’ Operating 

Permits Program on December 6, 2001 

(66 FR 63318), the EPA discussed the 

public comments on the proposed final 

delegation of the Title V operating 

permits program. In today’s action, the 

public is given the opportunity to 

comment on the approval of TCEQ’s 

request for delegation of authority to 

implement and enforce certain section 

112 standards for all sources (both part 

70 and non-part 70 sources) which have 

been adopted by reference into Texas’ 

state regulations. However, the Agency 

views the approval of these requests as 

a noncontroversial action and 

anticipates no adverse comments. 

Therefore, EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of today’s 

Federal Register publication, EPA is 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposal to approve the 

program and delegation of authority 

described in this action if adverse 

comments are received. This action will 

be effective January 26, 2015 without 

further notice unless the Agency 

receives relevant adverse comments by 

December 26, 2014. 

If EPA receives relevant adverse 

comments, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public the rule will not 

take effect. We will address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. The EPA 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. Please note that if we receive 

relevant adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of a 

relevant adverse comment. 

XIV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). 

The delegation 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 as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), nor will it impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law. This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the Clean 

Air Act. This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

In reviewing delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the State to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a delegation submission 

for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA to use VCS in place of a delegation 

submission that otherwise satisfies the 

provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, 

the requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This rule does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

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 and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and

Hazardous Waste Management 

System; Identification and Listing of 

Hazardous Waste; Final Exclusion 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is granting the petition 

submitted by John Deere Des Moines 

Works (John Deere) of Deere & 

Company, in Ankeny, Iowa to exclude 

or ‘‘delist’’ up to 600 tons per calendar 

year of F006/F019 wastewater treatment 

sludge filter cake generated by John 

Deere’s wastewater treatment system 

from the list of hazardous wastes. This 

final rule responds to a petition 

submitted by John Deere to delist up to 

600 tons per calendar year of F006/F019 

wastewater treatment sludge filter cake 

generated by John Deere’s wastewater 

treatment system from the list of 

hazardous wastes. 

After careful analysis and use of the 

Delisting Risk Assessment Software 

(DRAS), EPA has concluded the 

petitioned waste is not hazardous waste. 

The F006/F019 exclusion is a 

conditional exclusion for 600 cubic 

yards per year of the F006/F019 

wastewater treatment sludge. 

Accordingly, this final rule excludes 

the petitioned waste from the 

requirements of hazardous waste 

regulations under the Resource 

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

November 25, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R07–RCRA–2014–0452. All 

documents in the docket are listed on 

the www.regulations.gov Web site. 

Although listed in the index, some 

information is not publicly available, 

e.g., CBI or other information whose 

disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Certain other material, such as 

copyrighted material, is not placed on 

the Internet and will be publicly
