41744 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 136 / Friday, July 15, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

proposing to approve this SIP revision 

may be found in the Technical Support 

Document (TSD) for this action which is 

available online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov, Docket number 

EPA–R03–OAR–2011–0288. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve the 

Pennsylvania SIP revision that amends 

25 Pa. Code Chapter 121.1 by adding 

new definitions, and adding a new 

regulation, 25 Pa. Code Chapter 123, 

Section 123.14, pertaining to the control 

of PM emissions from the operation of 

OWBs. This SIP revision was submitted 

on October 20, 2010. The emission 

standard established in this SIP revision 

is the Phase 2 emission standard 

described in the EPA voluntary 

program. This SIP revision is also based 

on the NESCAUM model rule that 

assisted PADEP in adopting 

requirements that will reduce air 

pollution from OWBs. This SIP revision 

reduces the problems associated with 

the operation of OWBs, including 

smoke, odors and burning prohibited 

fuels, including garbage, tires, and 

hazardous waste. Reductions in ambient 

levels of PM2.5 would promote improved 

human and animal health and welfare, 

improved visibility, decreased soiling 

and materials damage, and decrease 

damage to plants and trees. EPA is 

soliciting public comments on the 

issues discussed in this document. 

These comments will be considered 

before taking final action. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

CAA 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 CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely proposes to approve state law as 

meeting Federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by state law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 CAA; 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 proposed rule, 

pertaining to Pennsylvania’s control of 

PM emissions from the operation of 

outdoor wood-fired boilers, 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.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the South Coast Air Quality

& multi-purpose solvents and 

metalworking fluids & direct-contact 

lubricants. We are proposing to approve 

local rules to regulate these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by August 15, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the following local 

rules: SCAQMD Rule 1143, ‘‘Consumer 

Paint Thinner & Multi-Purpose 

Solvents’’ and SCAQMD Rule 1144, 

‘‘Metal Working Fluids & Direct-Contact 

Lubricants,’’ In the Rules and 

Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving these local 

rules in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe these 

SIP revisions are not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. Please note that 

if we receive adverse comment on an 

amendment, paragraph, or section of 

this rule and if that provision may be 

severed from the remainder of the rule, 

we may adopt as final those provisions 

of the rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

We do not plan to open a second 

comment period, so anyone interested 

in commenting should do so at this 

time. If we do not receive adverse 

comments, no further activity is 

planned. For further information, please 

see the direct final action.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. The State’s Submittal 

A. What rule did the State submit? 

We are proposing a limited approval 

and limited disapproval of San Joaquin 

Valley Unified Air Pollution Control 

District (SJVUAPCD) Rule 4682, 

Polystyrene, Polyethylene, and 

Polypropylene Products Manufacturing, 

amended on September 20, 2007, and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB) on March 7, 

2008. On April 17, 2008, the submittal 

for SJVUAPCD Rule 4682 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 this rule? 

We approved an earlier version of 

Rule 4682 into the SIP on June 13, 1995 

(60 FR 31086). 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rule? 

VOCs help produce ground-level 

ozone and smog, which harm human 

health and the environment. Section 

110(a) of the CAA requires States to 

submit regulations that control VOC 

emissions. Rule 4682 was designed to 

reduce emissions of VOCs from the 

manufacturing, processing, and storage 

of products composed of polystyrene, 

polyethylene, or polypropylene. EPA’s 

technical support document (TSD) has 

more information about this rule. 

II. EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is EPA evaluating the rule? 

Generally, SIP rules must be 

enforceable (see CAA section 110(a)), 

and must require Reasonably Available 

Control Technology (RACT) for each 

category of sources covered by a Control 

Techniques Guidelines document as 

well as each major source in
