Implementation Plan (FIP) to reflect thisapproval and inclusion of the statedetermined allocations. EPA is proposing to approve Nebraska’s SIP revision because it meets the requirements of the CAA and the CSAPR requirements to replace EPA’s allowance allocations for the 2016 control periods. This action is being proposed pursuant to the CAA and its implementing regulations. EPA’s allocations of CSAPR trading program allowances for Nebraska for control periods in 2017 and beyond remain in place until the State submits and EPA approves state-determined allocations for those control periods through another SIP. The CSAPR FIPs for Nebraska remain in place until such time as the State decides to replace the FIPs with a SIP revision.

**AGENCY :**  Environmental Protection Agency.

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule.

**SUMMARY :**  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Washington State Implementation Plan (SIP) that were submitted by the Department of Ecology (Ecology) in coordination with Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) on August 25, 2015. In the fall of 2014 and spring of 2015, the EPA approved numerous revisions to Ecology’s general air quality regulations. However, our approval of the updated Ecology regulations applied only to geographic areas where Ecology, and not a local air authority, has jurisdiction, and statewide to source categories over which Ecology has sole jurisdiction. Under the Washington Clean Air Act local clean air agencies, such as BCAA, have the option of adopting equally stringent or more stringent standards or requirements in lieu of Ecology’s general air quality regulations, if they so choose. Therefore, the EPA stated that we would evaluate the general air quality regulations as they apply to local jurisdictions in separate, future actions. If finalized, this proposed action would allow BCAA to rely primarily on Ecology’s general air quality regulations for sources within BCAA’s jurisdiction, including implementation of the minor new source review and nonattainment new source review permitting programs. This action also proposes approval of a small set of BCAA regulatory provisions that replace or supplement parts of Ecology’s general air quality regulations.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before October 15, 2015.

A. Regulations To Approve and

Incorporate by Reference Into the SIP B. Regulations To Approve But Not

Incorporate by Reference C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP D. Scope of Proposed Action IV. Incorporation by Reference V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews I. Background for Proposed Action

On January 27, 2014, Ecology submitted revisions to update the general air quality regulations contained in Chapter 173–400 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) that apply to sources under Ecology’s direct jurisdiction. On October 3, 2014 (79 FR 59653), November 7, 2014 (79 FR 66291), and April 29, 2015 (80 FR 23721), the EPA approved updates to Chapter 173–400 WAC as they apply to geographic areas and source categories under Ecology’s direct jurisdiction. Under the EPA-approved provisions of WAC 173–400–020, local clean air agencies have the authority to adopt equally stringent or more stringent standards or requirements in lieu of the provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC. Local clean air agencies also have the option to rely on parts of Chapter 173– 400 WAC, but substitute local standards or requirements for other corresponding provisions. For this reason, the EPA stated that we would address the applicability of Chapter 173–400 WAC in local clean air agency jurisdictions on a case-by-case basis in separate, future actions. II. Washington SIP Revisions

On August 25, 2015, the Director of the Washington Department of Ecology, as the Governor’s designee for SIP revisions, submitted a request to update the general air quality regulations as they apply to the jurisdiction of BCAA. See 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4. As shown in Attachment 1 of the SIP revision, included in the docket for this action, BCAA relies primarily on the recently updated provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC for sources within their jurisdiction in Benton County, including minor new source review permitting and major source nonattainment new source review (if necessary at some point in the future). Attachment 2 of the SIP revision contains a small set of BCAA regulations that either supplement or substitute for provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC that address regulatory authority, definitions of specific terms, and fugitive emissions. These provisions fall in two categories. The first category includes BCAA Regulation 1, sections: 1.01, Name of Agency; 2.01, Powers and Duties of the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA); 2.03, Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors; 2.05, Severability; and 2.06, Confidentiality. These provisions are generally administrative in nature, are adopted nearly verbatim from the Washington Clean Air Act (Revised Code of Washington 70.94), and have no direct corollaries in Chapter 173–400 WAC. The second category includes BCAA Regulation 1, sections: 1.02, Policy and Purpose; 1.03, Applicability; 2.02, Requirements for Board of Directors Members; 4.01(A), Definitions—Fugitive Dust; 4.02(B), Particulate Matter Emissions—Fugitive Emissions; 4.02(C)(1), Particulate Matter Emissions—Fugitive Dust; and 4.02(C)(3), Particulate Matter Emissions—Fugitive Dust. This second category of BCAA regulations adopt parts of Chapter 173–400 WAC nearly verbatim with minor changes for readability and clarity. The EPA is proposing to determine that these changes are consistent with our prior approvals of Chapter 173–400 WAC and meet Clean Air Act requirements.
III. The EPA’s Proposed Action
A. Regulations To Approve and Incorporate by Reference Into the SIP

The EPA proposes to approve and incorporate by reference into the Washington SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)— Table 4, Additional Regulations Approved for the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) Jurisdiction, the BCAA and Ecology regulations listed in the tables below for sources within BCAA’s jurisdiction.

B. Regulations To Approve But Not Incorporate by Reference

In addition to the regulations proposed for approval and incorporation by reference above, the EPA reviews and approves state and local clean air agency submissions to ensure they provide adequate enforcement authority and other general authority to implement and enforce the SIP. However, regulations describing such agency enforcement and other general authority are generally not incorporated by reference so as to avoid potential conflict with the EPA’s independent authorities. The EPA has reviewed and is proposing to approve BCAA, Regulation 1, Article 2, General Provisions, as having adequate enforcement and other general authority for purposes of implementing and enforcing its SIP, but is not incorporating this section by reference into the SIP codified in 40 CFR 52.2470(c). Instead, the EPA is proposing to include sections 2.01, Powers and Duties of the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA); 2.02, Requirements for Board of Directors Members (replaces WAC 173–400–220); 2.03, Powers and Duties of the Board of Directors; 2.04, Powers and Duties of the Control Officer; 2.05, Severability; and 2.06, Confidentiality of Records and Information, in 40 CFR 52.2470(e), EPA Approved Nonregulatory Provisions and Quasi-Regulatory Measures, as approved but not incorporated by reference regulatory provisions. Finally, for the reasons discussed above, the EPA is proposing to move WAC 173– 400–230, Regulatory Actions; WAC 173– 400–240, Criminal Penalties; WAC 173– 400–250, Appeals; and WAC 173–400– 260, Conflict of Interest, currently incorporated by reference in 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4, to the list of provisions in 40 CFR 52.2470(e) that are approved but not incorporated by reference. C. Regulations To Remove From the SIP

The regulations contained in Washington’s SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4 were last approved by the EPA on June 2, 1995 (60 FR 28726). The EPA is proposing to remove from this table WAC 173–400–010 and 173–400–020 because these provisions will be replaced by the BCAA corollaries 1.02, Policy and Purpose and 1.03, Applicability, as shown in Attachment 2 of the SIP revision. We are also proposing to remove WAC 173– 400–100, because this outdatedprovision is no longer part of the EPAapproved SIP for Ecology’s direct jurisdiction under CFR 52.2470(c)— Table 2 and BCAA has requested that it be removed from the BCAA’s jurisdiction under CFR 52.2470(c)— Table 4. For more information please see the EPA’s proposed (79 FR 39351, July 10, 2014) and final (79 FR 59653, October 3, 2014) actions on the general provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC. D. Scope of Proposed Action

This proposed revision to the SIP applies specifically to the BCAA jurisdiction incorporated into the SIP at 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4. As discussed in the EPA’s proposed (79 FR 39351, July 10, 2014) and final (79 FR 59653, October 3, 2014) actions on the general provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC, jurisdiction is generally defined on a geographic basis (Benton County); however there are exceptions. By statute, BCAA does not have authority for sources under the jurisdiction of the Energy Facilities Site Evaluation Council (EFSEC). See Revised Code of Washington Chapter 80.50. Under the applicability provisions of WAC 173– 405–012, WAC 173–410–012, and WAC 173–415–012, BCAA also does not have jurisdiction for kraft pulp mills, sulfite pulping mills, and primary aluminum plants. For these sources, Ecology retains statewide, direct jurisdiction. Ecology also retains statewide, direct jurisdiction for the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting program. Therefore, the EPA is not approving into 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4 those provisions of Chapter 173–400 WAC related to the PSD program. Specifically, these provisions are WAC 173–400–116 and WAC 173–400–700 through 750.

As described in the EPA’s April 29, 2015 final action, jurisdiction to implement the visibility permitting program contained in WAC 173–400– 117 varies depending on the situation. Ecology retains authority to implement WAC 173–400–117 as it relates to PSD permits (80 FR 23721). However for facilities subject to nonattainment new source review (NNSR) under the applicability provisions of WAC 173– 400–800, we are proposing that BCAA would be responsible for implementing those parts of WAC 173–400–117 as they relate to NNSR permits. See 80 FR
23726.

Lastly, the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian reservations in the State, except for non-trust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation (also known as the 1873 Survey Area), or any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. IV. Incorporation by Reference

In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to revise


### 55284 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 178 / Tuesday, September 15, 2015 / Proposed Rules

our incorporation by reference of 40 CFR 52.2470(c)—Table 4 ‘‘Additional Regulations Approved for the Benton Clean Air Agency (BCAA) Jurisdiction’’ to reflect the regulations shown in the tables in section III.A. Regulations to Approve and Incorporate by Reference into the SIP and the rules proposed for removal from the SIP in section III.C. Regulations to Remove from the SIP. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the **ADDRESSES** section of this preamble for more information). V. 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, the 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 the requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because this action does not involve technical standards; and

• does not provide the 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, this rule does not have tribal implications as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law. As discussed above, the SIP is not approved to apply in Indianreservations in the state, except for nontrust land within the exterior boundaries of the Puyallup Indian Reservation (also known as the 1873 Survey Area), or any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction.
