Revision 

IV. Final Action 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On January 26, 2015, the State of 

Vermont Department of Environmental 

Conservation submitted a formal 


Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 20, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 23165 

revision to its State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). The SIP revision consists of 

Vermont’s revised Air Pollution Control 

Regulation (APCR) Section 5–101, 

Definitions; APCR Section 5–253.2, Bulk 

Gasoline Terminals; APCR Section 5– 

253.3, Bulk Gasoline Plants; and APCR 

Section 5–253.5, Stage I Vapor Recovery 

Controls at Gasoline Dispensing 

Facilities. 

Stage I vapor recovery systems are 

systems that capture vapors displaced 

from storage tanks at GDFs during 

gasoline tank truck deliveries. When 

gasoline is delivered into an 

aboveground or underground storage 

tank, vapors that were taking up space 

in the storage tank are displaced by the 

gasoline entering the storage tank. The 

Stage I vapor recovery systems route 

these displaced vapors into the delivery 

truck’s tank. Some vapors are vented 

when the storage tank exceeds a 

specified pressure threshold, however 

the Stage I vapor recovery systems 

greatly reduce the possibility of these 

displaced vapors being released into the 

atmosphere. 

Stage I vapor recovery systems have 

been in place since the 1970s. EPA has 

issued the following guidance regarding 

Stage I systems: ‘‘Design Criteria for 

Stage I Vapor Control Systems— 

Gasoline Service Stations’’ (November 

1975, EPA Online Publication 

450R75102), which is regarded as the 

control techniques guideline (CTG) for 

the control of Volatile Organic 

Compound (VOC) emissions from this 

source category; and the EPA document 

‘‘Model Volatile Organic Compound 

Rules for Reasonably Available Control 

Technology’’ (Staff Working Draft, June 

1992) contains a model Stage I 

regulation. EPA has also issued the 

following CTGs, relevant to this SIP 

revision: ‘‘Control of Hydrocarbons from 

Tank Truck Gasoline Loading 

Terminals’’ (December 1977, EPA–450/ 

2–77–026); and ‘‘Control of Volatile 

Organic Emissions from Bulk Gasoline 

Plants’’ (December 1977, EPA–450/2– 

77–035). 

II. Summary of Vermont’s SIP Revision 

The Vermont APCR Section 5–253.2, 

Bulk Gasoline Terminals; Section 5– 

253.3, Bulk Gasoline Plants; and Section 

5–253.5, Stage I Vapor Recovery 

Controls at Gasoline Dispensing 

Facilities, were initially approved into 

the Vermont SIP on April 22, 1998 (63 

FR 19829). Vermont’s APCRs required 

gasoline dispensing facilities throughout 

the state to install Stage I vapor recovery 

systems and satisfied Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) 

for gasoline dispensing facilities, bulk 

gasoline terminals, and bulk gasoline 

plants. The SIP revision approved on 

April 22, 1998 also included definitions 

in Section 5–101, Definitions that were 

associated with the VOC RACT rules. 

On January 26, 2015, Vermont 

submitted a SIP revision consisting of 

its revised APCR Sections 5–101, 5– 

253.2, 5–253.3, and 5–253.5. This SIP 

revision includes regulatory 

amendments that clarify Stage I vapor 

recovery requirements, simplify 

definitions relating to gasoline storage 

and distribution at gasoline terminals 

and bulk gasoline plants, improve the 

consistency of the Vermont APCRs with 

federal requirements for GDFs, and help 

to ensure that VOC emission reductions 

achieved by existing Stage I vapor 

recovery systems are maintained. 

Vermont’s January 26, 2015 SIP 

revision included the amended APCR 

Section 5–253.5, Stage I Vapor Recovery 

Controls at Gasoline Dispensing 

Facilities, which was revised to clarify 

requirements in the existing Stage I 

vapor recovery regulation. Amongst 

other clarifying revisions in Vermont’s 

APCR Section 5–253.5, the Stage I vapor 

recovery regulation was: Revised to 

ensure awareness that GDFs must also 

comply with the federal regulations for 

GDFs, EPA’s National Emissions 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Source Category: Gasoline 

Dispensing Facilities, 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart CCCCCC; revised to include 

definitions for ‘‘dual-point vapor Stage 

I vapor recovery system,’’ ‘‘monthly 

gasoline throughput,’’ and ‘‘startup’’; 

and revised to include a compliance 

schedule for the installation of dualpoint Stage I vapor recovery systems for 

those GDFs not already so equipped. 

In addition, the amended APCRs in 

Vermont’s January 26, 2015 SIP revision 

were revised as follows: The amended 

APCR Section 5–101, Definitions, 

includes revised definitions for ‘‘bulk 

gasoline terminal’’ and ‘‘vapor balance 

system’’; the amended APCR Section 5– 

253.2, Bulk Gasoline Terminals, adds a 

reference to a ‘‘vapor control system’’ in 

addition to the previous wording, which 

only referred to ‘‘vapor collection 

system,’’ thus clarifying that the 

gasoline vapors displaced from gasoline 

tank trucks during loading must be 

collected and controlled, and that the 

emission limits from such vapors apply 

to both the collection and control 

systems; and the amended APCR 

Section 5–253.3, Bulk Gasoline Plants, 

was revised for clarity as a result of the 

revised APCR 5–101 definition of 

‘‘vapor balance system.’’ 

III. EPA’s Evaluation of Vermont’s SIP 

Revision 

EPA has reviewed Vermont’s revised 

APCRs Sections 5–101, 5–253.2, 5– 

253.3, and 5–253.5, and has concluded 

that Vermont’s January 26, 2015 SIP 

revision is approvable. Specifically, 

Vermont’s revised regulations continue 

to be consistent with EPA’s CTGs and 

meet RACT for the relevant emission 

source categories. 

In addition, Vermont’s revised APCRs 

included in the January 26, 2015 SIP 

revision are more stringent than the 

previously approved versions of the 

rules, thus meeting the CAA section 

110(l) anti-backsliding requirements. 

EPA’s most recent approval of APCR 

Sections 5–253.2 and 5–253.5 was on 

April 22, 1998 (see 63 FR 19825), 

Section 5–253.3 was on July 19, 2011 

(see 76 FR 42560), and Section 5–101 

was on October 5, 2012 (see 77 FR 

60907). Vermont’s revised APCRs 

submitted with their January 26, 2015 

SIP revision are more stringent by 

incorporating the requirement for GDFs 

to meet the federal NESHAP and by 

clarifying that Stage I requirements 

apply to vapor control systems as well 

as vapor collection systems. 

Furthermore, the defined terms and 

clarifications added to the Vermont 

APCRs ensure that all entities subject to 

the regulations clearly understand the 

applicable requirements. 

Finally, we note that in certain 

instances the regulations we are 

approving authorize a Vermont ‘‘Air 

Pollution Control Officer’’ to make 

certain determinations or to require 

specific actions. In approving such 

provisions, although EPA’s authority 

regarding such determinations or 

actions is not expressly referenced in 

the regulatory text, EPA does not intend, 

and could not intend as a matter of law, 

to preclude EPA from exercising any 

legal authority EPA may have under the 

Clean Air Act and its implementing 

regulations. The regulatory language at 

Vermont APCR Section 5–253.5(c)(3), 

relating to determinations regarding 

whether a facility is being operated and 

maintained in a manner consistent with 

safety and good engineering practices 

for minimizing emissions, is one 

example of such a provision. Although 

the provision does not reference EPA’s 

legal authority, the provision would not, 

and could not, function as a legal matter 

to preclude EPA from exercising any 

relevant authority it may have under the 

Clean Air Act or its implementing 

regulations. 


Lhorne on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
23166 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 20, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 

IV. Final Action 

EPA is approving, and incorporating 

into the Vermont SIP, Vermont’s revised 

APCRs Section 5–101, Definitions; 

Section 5–253.2, Bulk Gasoline 

Terminals; Section 5–253.3, Bulk 

Gasoline Plants; and Section 5–253.5, 

Stage I Vapor Recovery Controls at 

Gasoline Dispensing Facilities. EPA is 

approving Vermont’s January 26, 2015 

SIP revision because it meets all 

applicable requirements of the CAA and 

EPA guidance. 

The EPA is publishing this action 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

amendment and anticipates no adverse 

comments. However, in the proposed 

rules section of this Federal Register 

publication, EPA is publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposal to approve the SIP revision 

should relevant adverse comments be 

filed. This rule will be effective June 20, 

2016 without further notice unless the 

Agency receives relevant adverse 

comments by May 20, 2016. 

If the EPA receives such comments, 

then EPA will publish a document 

withdrawing the final rule and 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. All public comments 

received will then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. The EPA will not 

institute a second comment period on 

the proposed rule. All parties interested 

in commenting on the proposed rule 

should do so at this time. If no such 

comments are received, the public is 

advised that this rule will be effective 

on June 20, 2016 and no further action 

will be taken on the proposed rule. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

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. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is finalizing the 

incorporation by reference of Vermont’s 

APCRs described in the amendments to 

40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA 

has made, and will continue to make, 

these documents generally available 

electronically through http://

www.regulations.gov. 

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). 

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 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 20, 2016. 

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, 

and shall not postpone the effectiveness 

of such rule or action. Parties with 

objections to this direct final rule are 

encouraged to file a comment in 

response to the parallel notice of 

proposed rulemaking for this action 

published in the proposed rules section 

of this Federal Register, rather than file 

an immediate petition for judicial 

review of this direct final rule, so that 

EPA can withdraw this direct final rule 

and address the comment in the 

proposed rulemaking. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The SIP is a living document which 

a state revises as necessary to address its 

unique air pollution problems. 

Therefore, EPA, from time to time, must 

take action on SIP revisions containing 

new and/or revised regulations as being 

part of the SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 

27968), EPA revised the procedures for 

incorporating by reference Federallyapproved SIPs, as a result of 

consultations between EPA and the 

Office of the Federal Register (OFR). The 

description of the revised SIP 

document, IBR procedures and 

‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997 Federal Register document. On 

July 15, 2011 (76 FR 41705), EPA 

published a document in the Federal 

Register beginning the revised IBR 

procedure for New York. 

This Final Rule continues the revised 

IBR procedure for New York. In this 

document, EPA is publishing an 

updated set of tables listing the 

regulatory (i.e., IBR) materials in the 

New York SIP taking into account the 

additions, corrections and revisions to 

those materials previously submitted by
