20880 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

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 SIP submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, 

to use VCS in place of a SIP 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 

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 July 6, 2009. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule 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. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, South Coast Air 

Quality Management District 

Sacramento Metropolitan Air Quality 

Management District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the South 

Coast Air Quality Management District 

(SCAQMD) and Sacramento 

Metropolitan Air Quality Management 

District (SMAQMD) portion of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern oxides of 

nitrogen (NOx) emissions from boilers, 

process heaters, steam generators and 

residential water heaters. We are 

approving local rules that regulate these 

emission sources under the Clean Air 

Act as amended in 1990 (CAA or the 

Act). 

DATES: This rule is effective on July 6, 

2009 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives adverse comments by June 5, 

2009. If we receive such comments, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register to notify the public 

that this direct final rule will not take 

effect.

I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What rules did the State submit? 

Table 1 lists the rules we are 

approving with the dates that they were 

adopted by the local air agencies and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED RULES

Local agency Rule No. Rule title Adopted Submitted 

SCAQMD .......................................... 1121 Control of Nitrogen Oxides from Residential Type, Natural 

Gas-Fired Water Heaters.

09/03/04 07/18/08 

SMAQMD .......................................... 411 NOx from Boilers, Process Heaters and Steam Generators ... 08/23/07 03/07/08 

On August 22, 2008, the submittal of 

SCAQMD Rule 1121 was found to meet 

the completeness criteria in 40 CFR part 

51, Appendix V, which must be met 

before formal EPA review. On April 17, 

2008, the submittal of SMAQMD Rule 

411 was found to meet the completeness 

criteria in 40 CFR part 51, Appendix V, 

which must be met before formal EPA 

review. 

B. Are there other versions of these 

rules? 

We approved a version of SCAQMD 

Rule 1121 into the SIP on November 16, 

2001. The SCAQMD adopted revisions 

to the SIP-approved version on 

September 3, 2004 and CARB submitted 

them to us on July 18, 2008. We 

approved a version of SMAQMD Rule 

411 into the SIP on August 1, 2007. The 

SMAQMD adopted revisions to the SIPapproved version on August 23, 2005 

and CARB submitted them to us on 

March 7, 2008. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

revisions? 

NOX helps produce ground-level 

ozone, smog and particulate matter, 

which harm human health and the 

environment. Section 110(a) of the CAA 

requires States to submit regulations 

that control NOX emissions. SCAQMD 

Rule 1121 regulates emissions of NOX

from residential natural gas-fired heaters 

with heat input rates less than 75,000 

Btu/hour. The rule includes a mitigation 

fee that can be paid in lieu of meeting 

interim emission limits and has a 

compliance date of January 1, 2008. 

SCAQMD amended the SIP-approved 

rule to delay compliance deadlines and 

simplify the mitigation fee. SMAQMD 

Rule 411 regulates emissions of NOX

from boilers, process heaters and steam 

generators with a rated heat input 

capacity equal to or greater than 1 

million Btu per hour. The amendments 

to the SIP-approved rule serve to 

include those who qualify for the low 

fuel usage exemption included in the 

SIP-approved rule but who missed the 

original deadline to apply for it. EPA’s 

technical support documents (TSD) 

have more information about these 

rules. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the rules? 

Generally, SIP rules must be 

enforceable (see section 110(a) of the 

Act), must require Reasonably Available 

Control Technology (RACT) for each 

category of sources covered by a Control 

Techniques Guidelines (CTG) document 

as well as each major source in 

nonattainment areas (see sections 

182(a)(2) and 182(f)), and must not relax 

existing requirements (see sections 

110(l) and 193). The SCAQMD regulates 

an ozone nonattainment area (see 40 

CFR part 81), so Rule 1121 must fulfill 

RACT. The SMAQMD also regulates an 

ozone nonattainment area (see 40 CFR 

part 81), so Rule 411 must also fulfill 

RACT. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to help evaluate enforceability 

and RACT requirements consistently 

include the following: 

1. ‘‘State Implementation Plans; 

Nitrogen Oxides Supplement to the 

General Preamble; Clean Air Act 

Amendments of 1990 Implementation of 

Title I; Proposed Rule,’’ (the NOX

Supplement), 57 FR 55620, November 

25, 1992. 

2. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation 

Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and 

Deviations,’’ EPA, May 25, 1988 (the 

Bluebook). 

3. ‘‘Guidance Document for Correcting 

Common VOC & Other Rule 

Deficiencies,’’ EPA Region 9, August 21, 

2001 (the Little Bluebook). 

4. ‘‘State Implementation Plans for 

Serious PM–10 Nonattainment Areas, 

and Attainment Date Waivers for PM–10 

Nonattainment Areas Generally; 

Addendum to the General Preamble for 

the Implementation of Title I of the 

Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,’’ 59 

FR 41998 (August 16, 1994). 

5. ‘‘State Implementation Plans; 

General Preamble for the 

Implementation of Title I of the Clean 

Air Act Amendments of 1990,’’ 57 FR 

13498 (April 16, 1992); 57 FR 18070 

(April 28, 1992). 

6. ‘‘PM–10 Guideline Document,’’ 

EPA 452/R–93–008, April 1993. 

7. ‘‘Alternative Control Techniques 

Document—NOX Emissions from 

Industrial/Commercial/Institutional 

(ICI) Boilers,’’ EPA, March 1994. 

8. ‘‘Determination of Reasonably 

Available Control Technology and Best 

Available Retrofit Control for Industrial, 

Institutional, and Commercial Boilers, 


rwilkins on PROD1PC63 with RULES
20882 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 86 / Wednesday, May 6, 2009 / Rules and Regulations 

Steam Generators, and Process Heaters,’’ 

CARB, July 18, 1991. 

B. Do the rules meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

We believe these rules are consistent 

with the relevant policy and guidance 

regarding enforceability, RACT, and SIP 

relaxations. The TSD have more 

information on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations To Further 

Improve the Rule 

The TSD for SMAQMD Rule 411 

describes additional rule revisions that 

do not affect EPA’s current action but 

are recommended for the next time the 

local agency modifies the rule. 

D. Public comment and final action 

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

the Act, EPA is fully approving the 

submitted rules because we believe they 

fulfill 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 

submitted rules. If we receive adverse 

comments by June 5, 2009, 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 July 6, 2009. 

This will incorporate these rules into 

the federally enforceable SIP. 

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. 

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 Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993); 

• 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, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and EPA notes that 

it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law. 

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 July 6, 2009. 

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. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements (see section 

307(b)(2)).

Morpholine 4-C6-12 Acyl Derivatives; 

Exemption from the Requirement of a 

Tolerance 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This regulation establishes an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance for residues of Morpholine 4- 

C6-12 Acyl derivatives (CAS Reg. No. 

887947–29–7), herein referred to in this 

document as morpholine amide when 

used as the inert ingredient in pesticide 

formulations applied in or on growing 

crops. Huntsman Corporation submitted 

a petition to EPA under the Federal 

Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 

requesting an exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance. This 

regulation eliminates the need to 

establish a maximum permissible level 

for residues of morpholine amide. 

DATES: This regulation is effective May 

6, 2009. Objections and requests for 

hearings must be received on or before 

July 6, 2009, and must be filed in 

accordance with the instructions 

provided in 40 CFR part 178 (see also
