I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What document did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the document addressed 

by this action with the date that it was 

adopted by the local air agency and 

submitted to EPA by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED DOCUMENT

Local 

Agency Document Adopted Submitted 

NSAQMD .................. 2007 Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) for Western Nevada County 8-Hour Ozone Non-Attainment Area (‘‘2007 

RACT SIP’’).

6/25/07 2/7/08 

The 2007 RACT SIP became complete 

by operation of law on August 7, 2008 

pursuant to CAA 110(k)(1)(B). 

B. Are there other versions of this 

document? 

There is no previous submitted 

version of NSAQMD’s 2007 RACT SIP. 

C. What is the purpose of the RACT SIP 

submission? 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) 

and nitrogen oxides (NOX) help produce 

ground-level ozone and smog, which 

harm human health and the 

environment. Section 110(a) of the CAA 

requires States to submit enforceable 

regulations that control VOC and NOX

emissions. Sections 182(b)(2) and (f) 

require that SIPs for ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

moderate or above require 

implementation of RACT for any source 

covered by a CTG document and any 

other major stationary source of VOCs or 

NOX. The NSAQMD is subject to this 

requirement because it regulates 

western Nevada County, which is 

designated and classified as a subpart 2 

moderate ozone nonattainment area for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see 40 

CFR 81.305). Therefore, NSAQMD must, 

at a minimum, adopt RACT-level 

controls for all sources covered by a 

CTG document and for all major nonCTG stationary sources of VOCs or NOX

in western Nevada County. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the RACT SIP 

submission? 

NSAQMD regulates a nonattainment 

area classified as subpart 2 moderate for 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see 40 

CFR 81.305). CAA Section 182(b)(2) and 

(f), as well as 40 CFR 51.912(a)(1) 

require that SIPs for ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

moderate or above require 

implementation of RACT for any source 

covered by a CTG document and any 

other major stationary source of VOCs or 

NOX. Any stationary source that emits 

or has a potential to emit at least 100 

tons per year (tpy) of VOCs or NOX in 

a moderate ozone nonattainment area is 

considered a major stationary source 

(see CAA sections 182(b(2)) and (f) and 

302(j)). Where there are no existing 

sources covered by a particular CTG 

document or no other major stationary 

sources of VOCs or NOX, states may, in 

lieu of adopting RACT requirements, 

adopt negative declarations certifying 

that there are no such sources in the 

relevant nonattainment area (see 

Memorandum from William T. Harnett 

to Regional Air Division Directors, (May 

18, 2006), ‘‘RACT Qs & As—Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) 

Questions and Answers’’ page 7). 

SIP rules must be enforceable (see 

CAA section 110(a)(2)), must not 

interfere with applicable requirements 

concerning attainment and reasonable 

further progress or other CAA 

requirements (see CAA section 110(l)), 

and must not modify certain SIP control 

requirements in nonattainment areas 

without ensuring equivalent or greater 

emissions reductions (see CAA section 

193).

we use to evaluate CAA section 182

B. Does the RACT SIP submission meet the 

evaluation criteria? 

The 2007 RACT SIP includes three 

elements, as described further below: 

1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX rules for 

sources subject to a CTG. 

2. Negative declarations where there are no 

facilities subject to a CTG. 

3. Negative declaration for major non-CTG 

sources of VOC or NOX. 

NSAQMD provided its 2007 RACT 

SIP for public comment prior to the 

public hearing for adoption. No written 

comments were received by the District. 

NSAQMD also supplemented 2007 

RACT with various other submittals as 

described below. 

1. Evaluations of VOC and NOX Rules 

for Sources Subject to a CTG 

NSAQMD’s 2007 RACT SIP 

referenced various VOC rules that apply 

to western Nevada County. Subsequent 

to its adoption of the 2007 RACT SIP on 

June 25, 2007, NSAQMD amended a 

number of these rules and submitted 

them to EPA for approval into the SIP. 

These submittals effectively supersede 

the 2007 RACT SIP with respect to 

Rules 213, 214, 215 and 228. The 

following rules were subsequently 

approved by EPA into the SIP: Rule 214 

(78 FR 897, January 7, 2013), Rule 215 

(76 FR 44493, July 26, 2011), Rule 227 

(74 FR 56120, October 30, 2009), and 

Rule 228 (77 FR 47536, August 9, 2011). 

Rule 213 was rescinded by NSAQMD 

(April 25, 2011), and was incorporated 

into the SIP-approved Rule 214. 

In our recent approvals of these rules, 

we found that the rules fulfilled RACT 

requirements. We are not aware of 

information suggesting that additional 

controls are needed to fulfill RACT 

since our approval of these rules. 

Therefore, we concur that NSAQMD 

implements has adopted RACT-level 

rules requirements for vapor recovery 

systems. 

2. Negative Declarations Where There 

Are No Facilities Subject to a CTG 

Table 2 of NSAQMD’s 2007 RACT SIP 

lists not only CTGs, but also other 

documents relevant to establishing 

RACT at major sources. Negative 

declarations are only required for CTG 

source categories for which the District 

has no sources covered by the CTG. A 

negative declaration is not required for 

non-CTG source categories. Table 2 

below lists the CTG source categories 

that remain after we excluded non-CTG 

documents from NSAQMD’s 2007 RACT 

SIP Table 2. The District indicated it 

does not anticipate sources in these 

categories in the future. We searched 

CARB’s emissions inventory database to 

verify there are no facilities in 

NSAQMD that might be subject to the 

CTGs listed below. We concur with the 

District’s negative declarations. 

On August 14, 2008 and May 17, 

2011, CARB submitted NSAQMD’s 

negative declarations for 10 CTGs issued 

or updated by EPA between 2006 and 

2008. EPA approved these declarations 

on April 18, 2012 (77 FR 23130).

3. Negative Declaration for Major NonCTG Sources of VOC or NOX

The 2007 RACT SIP included a 

negative declaration for major non-CTG 

sources of VOC and NOX. EPA agrees 

that there are no major non-CTG sources 

of NOX or VOCs in the western Nevada 

County nonattainment area. 

4. Conclusion 

We find that NSAQMD’s 2007 RACT 

SIP submission, including the negative 

declarations and the rule revisions that 

were SIP-approved after 2007, 

adequately demonstrate that NSAQMD’s 

rules satisfy RACT for the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS. Our TSD has more 

information on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations To 

Strengthen the RACT SIP 

Our TSD describes additional 

revisions that we recommend for the 

next time NSAQMD modifies the rules. 

D. Public Comment and Final Action 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted SIP revision because we 

believe it fulfills all relevant 

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 SIP revision. If we 

receive adverse comments by May 13, 

2015, 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 

June 12, 2015. This will incorporate 

these rules into the federally enforceable 

SIP. 

Please note that if EPA receives 

adverse comment on a specific 

provision of this SIP revision and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the SIP revision, EPA may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

SIP revision that are not the subject of 

an adverse comment. 

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 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 

practical 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). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. Section 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 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
19548 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 70 / Monday, April 13, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

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 June 12, 2015. 

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,
