SUMMARY: The EPA is issuing

amendments to the State-by-State

designations and classifications for the

status of ozone, carbon monoxide (CO),

lead, and particulate matter nominally

10 microns and less in diameter (PM-10)

areas. These are changes based on

information identified by EPA after

publication of the original rule which

established the current designations and

classifications or information that was

brought to EPA's attention by comments

on the rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: December 30, 1992.

ADDRESSES: Materials relevant to this

rulemaking are included in Air Docket

A-90-42, located in Rm. M-1500, First

Floor, Waterside Mall, 401 M St., SW.,

Washington, DC, and may be inspected

at thig location during the hours from

8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1:30 p.m.

to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday,

except for legal holidays. A duplicate

copy of the docket for each affected

area is located in the EPA Regional

Office of the Region in which the area is

located.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability: This document is

available as an electronic file on The

Federal Bulletin Board at 9 a.m. the day

of publication in the Federal Register.

For the convenience of the reader, EPA

has prepared an updated version of the

individual State air designation listings

that were amended in the Federal

Register of November 6, 1991 (56 FR

56694), merged into the 1992 Code of

Federal Regulations and further

amended by this document. The updated

files are also available at 9 a.m. the day

of publication. By modem dial 202-512-

3187 or call 202-512-1530 for disks or

paper copies. This file is available in

Postscript, Wordperfect 5.1, and ASCII.

In the Federal Register of November 6,

1991 (56 FR 56694), EPA issued a final

rule promulgating or announcing the

designations, boundaries, and

classifications of virtually all ozone and

CO areas, all PM-l0 areas, and some

lead areas. Under sections 107(d)(2)(B)

and (d)(5), 172(a)(1)(B), 181(a)(3),

186(a)(2), and 188(a) of the amended

Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA was not

required to solicit public comment prior

to these promulgations, and in view of

the tight time frames imposed under the

amended CAA for designations,

classifications, and State

implementation plan (SIP) submittals,

EPA determined that a formal public

comment period prior to the

promulgations would not be appropriate.

However, in the November 6 rule, EPA

entertained public comments addressing

the technical correctness of its

determinations and significant new

policy issues. The EPA indicated that

the rule would take effect 60 days after

the date of publication.

The designations and boundaries

promulgated by the rule took effect on

January 6,1992. During the comment

period, EPA received comments

addressing typographical errors, 40 CFR

part 81 table presentations, and

technical errors. Independent of the

comments, EPA identified errors in the

40 CFR part 81 tables. With this

issuance, EPA is making corrections to

some of the designations, boundaries,

and classifications that were

promulgated or announced in the rule.

These corrections are made under

section 110(k)(6) of the CAA which

provides as follows:

Whenever the Administrator determines

that the Administrator's action approving,

disapproving, or promulgating any plan or

HeinOnline -- 57 Fed. Reg. 56762 1992
Federal Register / Vol. 57, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 1992 / Rules and Regulations

plan revision (or part thereof), area designation, redesignation, classification, or

reclassification was in error, the

Administrator may in the same manner as the

approval, disapproval, or promulgation revise

such action as appropriate without requiring

any further submission from the State. Such

determination and the basis thereof shall be

provided to the State and public.

The EPA interprets this provision to

authorize the Agency to make

corrections to a promulgated regulation

when it is shown to EPA's satisfaction

that (1) EPA clearly erred in failing to

consider or inappropriately considered

information made available to EPA at

the time of the promulgation, or the

information made available at the time

of promulgation is subsequently

demonstrated to have been clearly

inadequate;, and (2) other information

persuasively supports a change in the

regulation.

Following is a discussion of the

corrections made to the November 6,

1991 final rule. All other comments

submitted with respect to the ruledrediscussed in a Technical Support

Document contained in Air Docket A-90-

42.

Comments Relating to Typographical

Errors and 40 CFR part 81 Table

Presentation

Carbon Monoxide

California

.The Air Pollution Control District of

San Diego County commented that the

boundary description for the San Diego

CO nonattainment area Is incorrect in.

the November 6,1991 document. The

Area's preenactment boundary and the

boundary described by the State in a

December 28, 1990 letter to EPA are

identical. However, EPA incorrectly

expanded the nonattainment area in the

November 6.1991 document. The EPA

acknowledges this error. The correct

boundary description for the San Diego

area CO nonattainment area now

appears in the tabular entry of this

document.

Virginia

The Commonwealth of Virginia

questioned why the following areas that

are part of the Air Quality Control

Regions (AQCR) and are in attainment

are separated out from their respective

AQCR's in the November 6,1991 rule:

AQCR 047 (National Capital Interstate),

AQCR 223 (Hampton Roads Intrastate),

and AQCR 225 (State Capital Intrastate).

The explanation is that in the rule,

EPA followed the same listing format as

formerly described in 40 CFR 81.348.

However, EPA will combine the areas

under their respective AQCR's in a

tabular entry of this document since the

Commonwealth has requested this. The

Commonwealth should be aware that

doing so may affect the prevention of

significant deterioration (PSD) baseline

study area.

AQCR 223 Hampton Roads was

incorrectly listed as "AQCR 223

Hampton Roads." The area is now listed

correctly as "AQCR 223 Hampton Roads

Intrastate"'in the tabular entry of this

document.

Ozone

Illinois

The townships "Goose Lake" and

"Aux Sable".were incorrectly listed as

"Gooselake" and "Auxsable" in the

November 6,1991 document. This error

is corrected in this document.

North Carolina The word "Bumcombe" was

incorrectly listed as "uncombe" in the

Designated Area column of the

November 6,1991 document. This error

is corrected in this document.

Virginia

The Commonwealth of Virginia

commented that "Hampton Roads Area"

is the preferred description for the area

that EPA describes as the "NorfolkVirginia Beach-Newport News Area."

Although EPA's original description is

consistent with how other areas are ,

named, I.e., by using the Metropolitan

Statistical Area (MSA) name, EPA

concurs with the Commonwealth's

request and has revised the description

to read "Norfolk-Virginia BeachNewport News (Hampton Roads) Area."

The Richmond nonattainment area

was listed incorrectly as the "RichmondPetersburg Area." Since Petersburg is in

attainment," the area is now described as

the "Richmond Area" in the tabular

entry of this document.

The Commonwealth also commented

that the title for AQCR 207 is incorrect.

The ozone table Is corrected by ...

changing this title to "AQCR 207 Eastern

Tennessee - SW Virginia Interstate."

Ozone and Carbon Monoxide

Oregon

The Oregon Department of

Environmental Quality commented that

the Salem area was listed in the

November 6, 1991 notice as the "City of

Salem" for both ozone and CO.

However, in an earlier letter to EPA

(March 15,1991), Governor Roberts

recommended that these ozone and CO

nonattainment boundaries be reaffirmed

as the "Salem Area Transportation

Study (SATS)."

Accordingly, the subheading "City of

Salem" is replaced with "Salem Area

Transportation Study (SATS)" as

requested.

Also, in her March 15, 1991 letter to

EPA, the Governor recommended that

the carbon monoxide nonattainment

boundary for Medford be established as

the "Medford Urban Growth Boundary."

The rule incorrectly designated the

"Medford-Ashland Urban Growth

Boundary." There is no such

geographical entity; therefore, the

description is corrected in the tabular

entry of this document to read "Medford

Urban Growth Boundary."

Virginia

Since Nansemond County is no longer

a governmental entity, the County Is

removed from the tabular entries of this

document. Nansemond County has been

annexed by Suffolk City.

EPA-Discovered Errors in 40 CFR part 81

Tables

PM-10

The EPA inadvertently erred in

crafting the PM-10 tables included in the

November 6,1991 final rule. The PM-I0

-tables appropriately identified those

_,areas. currently designated as

nonattainment for PM-l0 pursuant to

section 107(d)(4)(B) of the CAA.

However, all of the areas in a State not

designated nonattainment for PM-l0

were designated unclassifiable under

section 107(d)(4)(B)(iii) of the CAA (see

56 FR 56705). The PM-10 tables

published in the November 6, 1991

document omitted the "Unclassifiable"

designation for the "Rest of State" areas

not otherwise designated

nonattainment. (If the State currently

has no PM-10 nonattainment areas, then

it follows that the entire State is

designated unclassifiable for PM-iO.)

[See section 107(d)(4)1B)(iii).l For

administrative efficiency reasons, EPA

is not codifying in 40 CFR part 81 these

State-wide unclassifiable designations.)

The 40 CFR part 81 tables appearing in

this document correct the oversight. The

PM-10 table headings are also modified

by removing the word "initiaL"

It is Important to reiterate that total

suspended particulates (TSP) national

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS)

designations will remain in effect for the

purpose of implementing the maximum

allowable increases (increments) in

concentrations of particulate matter,

measured in terms of TSP, pursuant to

section 163(b) of the CAA, until EPA

determines that the TSP designations

are no longer necessary for that purpose

(see section 107(d)(4) and 56 FR 56706

and 5670W, November 6,1991).

Carbon Monoxide

Connecticut

A typographical error involving the

New Haven-Meriden-Waterbury entry is

corrected. The tabular listing incorrectly

HeinOnline -- 57 Fed. Reg. 56763 1992
56764 Federal Register / Vol. 57, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 1992 / Rules and Regulations

included the classification description in

the designation column. The error is

corrected in this document.

Michigan

The tabular listing for AQCR 082

incorrectly omitted "South Bend" in its

title. The correct entry "AQCR 082 South

Bend-Elkhart-Benton Harbor Interstate"

is included in this document.

Minnesota

In the November 6, 1991 rule, portions

of three Minnesota Counties (Benton,

Sherburne, and Stearns) that make up

the City of St. Cloud were listed as

"Unclassifiable/Attainment." However,

the table should have included a

footnote explaining that the area is in

the process of being redesignated to

attainment for CO, and until such time

as the redesignation approval is

finalized the listing will have no force or

effect (see the footnote added to the

Minnesota - Carbon Monoxide table

for clarification).

West Virginia A footnote explaining the attainment

status of Brooke and Hancock Counties

was accidentally left out of the

November 6, 1991 final rule. The

footnote is included in the tabular

section of this document.

Comments Relating to Technical Errors

Lead

Georgia

The Georgia Environmental Protection

Division (on behalf of the State of

Georgia) submitted comments

requesting a revision to the lead

nonattainment boundary for Muscogee

County. The State proposed to change

the boundary of the lead nonattainment

area from the entire County to a circle

with a radius of 2.3 kilometers, with the

GNB, Inc., lead smelting and battery

production facility in the center. Georgia

submitted dispersion modeling

demonstrating that this boundary. is

more appropriate than the entire county.

In the preamble to the November 6,

1991 rule, EPA described its policy for

determining the boundary of a lead

nonattainment area. The EPA indicated

that the definition of nonattainment area

in section 107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA is

the controlling legal standard. The EPA

noted that generally it had

recommended that the lead

nonattainment boundary be defined by

the county perimeter for the county in

;vhich the ambient lead monitor(s)

recording the violation of the lead

NAAQS and/or lead source is located.

The EPA also noted that there may be

situations when a boundary other than

the county perimeter may be

appropriate:

States may seek to alternatively define the

lead nonattainment or unclassifiable

boundary by using one, or a combination, of

the following techniques: (1) Qualitative

analysis, (2) spatial interpolation of air

monitoring data, or (3) air quality simulation

by dispersion modeling. The techniques are

described in more detail in "Procedures for

Estimating Probability of Nonattainment of a

PM-10 NAAQS Using Total Suspended

Particulate or PM-10 Data," EPA-450/4-86-

017, December 1986. If a State seeks to

alternatively define a lead nonattainment

area, EPA recommends that it submit a

reasoned and documented justification for

the boundary identified (56 FR 56707).

Also in the preamble to the November

6, 1991 rulemaking, EPA indicated that it

would entertain comments on the

technical corrections of its

determinations and significant new

policy issues (56 FR 56694). The

dispersion modeling and associated

documents submitted by Georgia reflect

a reasoned and documented justification

for defining the nonattainment boundary

to include only the area within a 2.3-

kilometer radius of the GNB facility. The

State has demonstrated that the 2.3-

kilometer boundary includes both the

portion of the county that does not meet

the lead NAAQS and the source of the

nonattainment problem [see section

107(d)(1)(A)(i) of the CAA]. Further,

Georgia's submittal called into question

the technical correctness of -the earlier

boundary determination for this area.,

For these reasons, relying on its

authority under section 110(k)(6) of the

CAA, EPA is modifying the lead

nonattainment boundary for Muscogee

County, Georgia, from the entire county

to that part of the county which includes

a circle with a radius of 2.3-kilometers

with the GNB lead smelting and battery

production facility in the center. As provided in section 191(a), the Part

D SIP for that portion of the County

remaining nonattainment for lead will

be due 18 months from the effective date

of the'nonattainment designation for

that area (i.e., 18 months from January 6,

1992, the effective date of the November

6, 1991 rule).

Ozone

Michigan

As described in the November 6, 1991

final rule, EPA generally relied on the

years 1987-1989 for ozone designations

and classifications. However, in some

cases, EPA used complete 1988-1990

data if they were quality assured and

publicly available in the Aerometric "

Information Retrieval System (AIRS) by

February 13, 1991, and the State

requested a lower classification for the

nonattainment area. In the November 6,

1991 final rule, EPA announced the

classification of Muskegon County,

Michigan, as serious based on 1987-1989

data. Based on correspondence with the

State and upon reviewing the record,

EPA has determined that the 1988-1990

ozone concentrations data for Muskegon

County, Michigan, were submitted

before February 13, 1991, and justify a

moderate classification based on the

design value. In addition, the State of

Michigan requested that EPA classify

the area as moderate. Thus, Muskegon

meets EPA's criteria for classification as

a moderate area.

Washington

In a letter from Governor Booth

Gardner to the Administrator, dated

December 18, 1991. Washington State

presented a case that the Puget Sound

Region "experiences unique geographic

and urbanization patterns and

climatological conditions" and that a

rigorous evaluation to establish more

appropriate boundaries than those

proposed is warranted. The State

submitted a specific boundary

recommendation on January 17,1992, in

a letter from the Assistant Director of

the Washington Department of Ecology

to the Regional Administrator of Region

X. This letter contains the technical

details and justification for the State's

boundary recommendation.

In light of this information, EPA is

correcting the Seattle ozone

nonattainment area boundary under

section 110(k)(6) of the CAA as

amended. In amending the

nonattainment boundary, the State

relied on a variety of information,

including air quality data, point source

information, land use patterns and

projections, climatic and meteorological

data, ozone generation and transport

dynamics, and population density data.

The State obtained population density

information from the Puget Sound

Regional Council and compiled it into

zones which are nearly identical to U.S.

Census tracts. The population in each

tract was ranked by density and then

accumulated and mapped by

percentages of total population. The

population data were mapped into a

band which represents 95 percent of the

population in the three-county area. This

information was compiled for 1990 as

well as projection years of 2010 and

2020. The map encompassing 95 percent

of the three-county population for each

was the preliminary step in establishing

the boundary. The State then compared

the map with the other criteria. Land

uses such as major industrial sites,

cities, and transportation corridors were

reviewed, and boundaries were

expanded as necessary to assure

inclusion. Finally, the boundary was

expanded further to account for ozone

HeinOnline -- 57 Fed. Reg. 56764 1992
Federal Register / Vol. 57, No. 230 / Monday, November 30, 1992 / Rules and Regulations 56765

transport. Meteorological conditions and

a limited amount of special study ozone

data were considered in this final

adjustment. The final boundary

recommendation by the State covers all

the urbanized area as defined by the

U.S. Census Bureau. The boundary

covers all of Pierce County, nearly all of

King County, and the urbanized portion

of Snohomish County. The boundary

contains greater than 95 percent of the

current and projected population,

virtually all of the sources of oxides of

nitrogen and volatile organic compounds

in the three-county region, the

monitoring sites, and areas that are

likely to receive transported ozone. In

this document, EPA is correcting the

boundaries to conform to the State's

recommendation.

Wisconsin

As described in the November 6, 1991

final rule, EPA generally relied on the

years 1987-1989 for ozone designations

and classifications. However, in some

cases, EPA used complete 1988-1990

data if they were quality assured and

publicly available in AIRS by February 13, 1991 and the State requested a lower

classification for the nonattainment

area. In the November 6, 1991 final rule,

EPA announced the classification of

Sheboygan County as serious based on

1987-1989 data. Based on

correspondence with the State, and

upon reviewing the record, EPA has

determined that the 1988-1990 ozone

concentration data for Sheboygan

County were submitted before February

13, 1991 and justify a moderate

classification based on the design value.

In addition, the State of Wisconsin

requested that EPA classify the area as

moderate. Therefore, Sheboygan County

meets EPA's criteria for classification as

a moderate area. In this document, EPA

is correcting the classification to

moderate.

Carbon Monoxide

Massachusetts

Several commenters questioned the

use of 1986 data to classify the Boston

nonattainment area as Moderate, and

argued that the area should be treated

as attainment on the basis of 1988-1989

data. EPA is continuing to review these

comments. As a result, EPA is not, in

this notice, revising the designation or

classification of the Boston area, and

EPA intends to respond to the

commenters in a future action.

Other Actions

Ozone

New York

Upon enactment of the CAA

Amendments of 1990, the existing

nonattainment areas, including the New

York-New Jersey-Long Island

Consolidated Metropolitan Statistical

Area (NYC CMSA), were reaffirmed as

nonattainment for ozone by operation of

law. In addition, on November 15, 1990,

the NYC CMSA was classified as a

severe ozone area with 17 years to

attain the standard based on its

calculated ozone design value of 0.201

part per million. Section 107(d)(4)(A)(iv)-

(v) of the CAA requires that the

boundary for a serious, severe, or

extreme area become the entire CMSA

unless the Governor of the respective

State notifies EPA that more time is

needed to study the boundaries. A

finding concluding that a smaller

boundary is more appropriate had to be

completed and EPA had to concur in the

finding by January 15, 1992, or the New

York City nonattainment area would

automatically become the entire CMSA.

On December 28, 1990, New York State

formally requested additional time to

study the appropriate boundary for the

NYC CMSA as it relates to the air

quality designations for the Counties of

Orange and Putnam. In a March 21, 1991

letter and in a June 4, 1991 letter, New

York State again requested additional

time to evaluate the boundaries of

Orange and Putnam Counties. On

January 15, 1992, New York State's

Department of Environmental

Conservation (NYSDEC) formally

submitted a study (NYSDEC had

previously submitted drafts of the study)

to the EPA Region 11 Administrator

discussing the designations and

classifications of Orange and Putnam

Counties. New York State made the

following boundary recommendations in

the study based on-population densities,

population growth, and air quality in the

area:

Orange County-Towns of Blooming

Grove, Chester, Highlands, Monroe,

Tuxedo, Warwick, and Woodbury

remain with the New York City

nonattainment area and are classified as

severe-17.

Orange County-Other 16 towns and

cities are designated as attainment.

Putnam County- Entire County is

designated as nonattainment and

classified as marginal. The primary reason for excluding

portions of Orange County and all of

Putnam County from the NYC CMSA

was that the excluded areas do not

contribute significantly to ozone

violations in the NYC CMSA. The State

reviewed population growth in Orange and Putnam Counties for the last 10

years and found that the seven Orange

County towns listed above experienced

high population growth rates of nearly

30 percent. These seven towns are

located in the southeastern portion of

the County immediately north of

Rockland County along the Hudson

Valley, and they are closest to the rest

of the CMSA. By way of contrast,

population grew much slower in the

remaining portions of Orange County

and in all of Putnam County. The towns

in Putnam County experienced only a 3-

percent population growth.

The study also examined the

attainment status of these and

surrounding areas. Although there is no

permanent ozone monitoring station in

either Orange or Putnam County, a

properly sited, temporary EPA

monitoring station in West Point,

Orange County, measured ozone

concentrations in the severe

classification. These violations are

believed to be the result of transported

ozone from the NYC CMSA. Based on

the high population growth rate in the

southern part of Orange County, its

proximity to the rest of the NYC CMSA

severe nonattainment area, and the

measured violations at the West Point

monitor, New York State recommended

that the southern seven towns of Orange

County be designated nonattainment

and classified as severe, thus being part

of the NYC CMSA nonattainment area.

Similarly, based on the small

population growth in the northern

portion of Orange County, New York

State recommended that the northern

portion of Orange County be excluded

from the NYC CMSA and designated

attainment. The State recommended

that Putnam County be grouped with

Dutchess County and classified as a

marginal nonattainment area. The State

concluded that the Putnam County

classification should be marginal, based

on the fact that the County will be

surrounded by nonattainment areas,

most of which are classified severe, and

that the population density of Putnam

County (362 people per square mile) is

comparable to Dutchess County (321

people per square mile), a county

immediately to the north of Putnam

County which is classified as a marginal

nonattainment area.

It should be noted that New York is

located entirely within the Northeast

Ozone Transport Region, and all areas

of the State are subject to certain

controls regardless of their attainment

status. On January 15,1992, the

Administrator agreed with the State's

finding that northern Orange County

and Putnam County do not significantly

contribute to ozone violations in the

NYC CMSA nonattainment area. In a

January 15,1992, letter to the NYSDEC

Commissioner, the Administrator

HeinOnline -- 57 Fed. Reg. 56765 1992
5S76~ Federal Register I Vol. 57, No. 230 1 Monday, November 30, 199~ I Rules end Regulations

approved the State's request to exclude,

portions of the NYC CMS;A.

By letter to the U.S. EPA

Administrator dated May 21. 1992, a

commenter objected to the exclusion

from the NYC CSMA nonattainment

area of the northeastern portion of

Orange County on grounds that the totsa

population, population density, prior

population growth, commuting patterns,

and growth projectio n indicate that

sources in this area do contribute to the

nonattaimnent problem. By letter to the

U.S. EPA General Counsel dated July 23.

1992, this commenter extended its

objection to the exclusion from the NYC

CSMA nonattainment aea of all of

Orange County as well as Putnam

County.

Due to the facs that these comments

were submitted recently, and that EPA

must coordinate its analysis with the

State. EPA has not, to date, been able to

complete its evaluation of these

comments. Accordingly, EPA plans to

proceed with the. designation and

classification of Orange sad Putnam

Counties as. described above; however.

EPA will contiue: to review the

comnts received to date, and will

estertain any additional comments on

this action that are received. by

December 30.1992. for the purpose of

correcting errors in the determination

that the northern portion of Orange

County and all of Putam County should

be excluded from the NYC CMSA

nonattainment area. Following this

period, EPA. in consultation with the

State. will come to closure on the

boundaries issue, and will provided the

appropriate notification.

Florida and Ohio

As olNovember 0, 19M. the EPA and

the States of Florida and Ohio were still

discussing expanding the ozoe

boundaries of the Tampa. Florida. MSA

and the Parkersburg, West Virginia -

Marietta. Oho. MSA to. include,

respectively. Pasco County. Florida and

Washington County, Ohio (see 56 FR

56701). At enactment of the CAA.

Amendments of 1990, both counties

were designated unctassiflablel

attainment by operation of law. The

EPA and these States were reviewing

these designations under the process set

out in sectfon -Ond)(4 KAl of the CAA to

determine whether these designations

should be confirmed or reversed. The

EPA has completed its review and

concurs with the States of Florida and

Ohio that Pasco County and

Washington Count respectively,

remain attainment.

Carbon Monoxide

Utah

The November 6, 1991 noticereaffirmed the designation of the City of

Prove as nonattainment for CO (56 FR

568461. However, the listed designation

of UnelassifiablefAttainment for the

remainder of Utah County did not reflect

EPA actioh under section 107(d](4fA).

At that time, the State and EPA were

reviewing whether to confirm or revise

that designation, and EPA committed to

publish a subsequent Federal Register

document to that effect. During the

designation process, EPA received

numerous comments both in support of

expanding the existing boundary and In

opposition to expansion. The nature of

this Issue, coupled with the many

comments received from the public.

made it apparent to EPA that more

information was needed hr order to

adequately define the boundaries. With

receipt of the Governor's commitments

to carry out a comprehensive analysis- I

developing the SIP (due in November

19921, EPA agrees with the State that the

SIP development process is the

appropriate vehicle in which to obtain

this additional information.

Therefore, EPA reaffirms the existing

designation of Unclassifiablet

Attainment for the portion of Utah

County outside of the Provo City limits

fulfilling EPA's responsibility under

section 107(d'(41(AJ
