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. section 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

(121) On August 8, 2006, the State of 

Colorado submitted revisions to 

Colorado’s 5 CCR 1001–3, Regulation 1, 

that allows for the use of obscurants 

during military exercises at the Fort 

Carson Military Base and Pino ́n Canyon 

Maneuver Site in Colorado while 

precautionary steps are taken during the 

exercise to maintain air quality. The 

State modified the equipment 

requirements and work practices 

(abatement and control measures) in 

Regulation 1 intended to control the 

emissions of particulates, smokes and 

SO2 from new and existing stationary 

sources. Consistent with its use of the 

term elsewhere, the State added the 

attainment/maintenance nomenclature. 

The revision also provides a new 

numbering scheme for each section of 

the regulation. 

The State adopted EPA test method 9 

(part 60 of this title, Appendix A–4) as 

it is applied to Standards of 

Performance for Steel Plants (§ 60.275a 

of this title). The State revised 

manufacturing process emission rates, 

to clarify that the applicability of the 

section is to process equipment with a 

design rate of 30 tons per hour or less. 

The averaging time for emission 

standards of all existing sources of SO2

shall be a three hour rolling average. 

New sources of SO2 not specifically 

regulated within Regulation 1 are 

limited to two tons per day and are 

subject to BACT.

Revisions to the California State 

Implementation Plan, Antelope Valley 

Air Quality Management District and 

Imperial County Air Pollution Control 

District 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Antelope Valley Air Quality 

Management District (AVAQMD) and 

Imperial County Air Pollution Control 

District (ICAPCD) portions of the 

California State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). These revisions concern oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) emissions from 

stationary gas turbines. 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 March 

19, 2012 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives adverse comments by 

February 17, 2012. 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 or amended 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 or 

amended Submitted 

AVAQMD .......... 1134 Stationary Gas Turbines .............................................................................. 01/19/10 07/20/10 

ICAPCD ............ 400.1 Stationary Gas Turbine(s)—Reasonably Available Control Technology 

(RACT).

02/23/10 07/20/10 

On August 25, 2010, EPA determined 

that the submittals for AVAQMD Rule 

1134 and ICAPCD Rule 400.1 met 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? 

There are no previous versions of 

ICAPCD Rule 400.1 in the SIP. We 

approved an earlier version of 

AVAQMD Rule 1134 into the SIP on 

November 1, 1996 (61 FR 56470). The 

AVAQMD adopted an earlier a revision 

to the SIP approved version of Rule 

1134 on April 11, 1997 but it was not 

submitted to EPA. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rules? 

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. AVAQMD 

Rule 1134 regulates emissions of NOX

and carbon monoxide (CO) from 

stationary gas turbine systems with 

ratings equal to or greater than 0.3 MW. 

ICAPCD Rule 400.1 regulates emissions 

of NOX from stationary gas turbine 

systems with ratings equal to or greater 

than 1 MW. EPA’s technical support 

documents (TSDs) 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 NOX or VOC major 

source in nonattainment areas classified 

as moderate or above (see sections 

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

existing requirements (see sections 

110(l) and 193). The AVAQMD regulates 

an ozone nonattainment area classified 

as moderate for the 8-hour NAAQS and 

severe-17 for the 1-hour NAAQS (see 40 

CFR part 81), thus Rule 1143 must fulfill 

RACT requirements for NOX. The 

ICAPCD regulates an ozone 

nonattainment area classified as 

moderate (see 40 CFR part 81). Because 

Rule 400.1 regulates major stationary 

sources of NOX, it must fulfill NOX

RACT requirements. On December 3 

2009, EPA determined that ICAPCD 

attained the 1997 8-hour NAAQS for 

ozone based upon ambient air 

monitoring data showing the area had 

monitored attainment during the 2006– 

2008 monitoring period. (74 FR 63309) 

This determination suspended some of 

the planning requirements related to 

attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS but not the Section 182(b)(2) 

and 182(f) RACT requirements for major 

NOX emission sources. The ICAPCD 

also regulates a serious PM–10 

nonattainment area, and is therefore 

subject to the requirement under 

sections 189(b)(1)(B) and 189(e) of the 

Act to implement Best Available Control 

Measures (BACM, which includes Best 

Available Control Technology or BACT) 

for control of PM–10 and PM–10 

precursor emissions. 

Guidance and policy documents that 

we use to evaluate enforceability and 

RACT requirements consistently 

include the following: 

1. ‘‘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). 

2. ‘‘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. 

3. ‘‘Issues Relating to VOC Regulation 

Cutpoints, Deficiencies, and 

Deviations,’’ EPA, May 25, 1988 (the

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 TSDs have more 

information on our evaluation. 

C. EPA Recommendations to Further 

Improve the Rules 

The TSDs describe additional rule 

revisions that we recommend for the 

next time the local agencies modify the 

rules. 

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 February 17, 2012, 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 March 19, 

2012. 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 

disproportionate human health or 

environmental effects with practical, 

appropriate, 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 March 19, 2012. 

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 today’s 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)).

Great Lakes Steamship Repower 

Incentive Program 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to simplify an existing provision 

in our marine diesel engine program 

that is intended to encourage owners of 

Great Lakes steamships to repower those 

steamships with cleaner marine diesel 

engines. The simplified program will 

automatically permit the use of residual 

fuel, through December 31, 2025, in a 

steamship if it has been repowered with 

a certified Tier 2 or later marine diesel 

engine, provided the steamship was 

operated exclusively on the Great Lakes 

and was in service on October 30, 2009. 

Steamships are powered by old, 

inefficient steam boilers. Voluntary 

replacement of these boilers with 

modern fuel-efficient marine diesel 

engines will result in reductions of 

particulate matter and sulfur oxides, 

even while the replacement diesel 

engines are operated on higher sulfur 

residual fuel, and will provide human 

health and welfare benefits for the 

people who live in the Great Lakes 

region. Conversion to new diesel 

engines will also result in considerable 

carbon dioxide reductions and fuel 

savings. 

DATES: This rule is effective on March 

19, 2012 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives adverse comment by 

February 17, 2012. If EPA receives 

adverse comment, we will publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register informing the public that the 

rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Why is EPA using a direct final rule? 

EPA is publishing this rule without a 

prior proposed rule because we view 

this as a noncontroversial action and 

anticipate no adverse comment. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of today’s Federal Register, we 

are publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposed rule to adopt 

the provisions in this Direct Final Rule 

if adverse comments are received on 

this direct final rule. We will not 

institute a second comment period on 

this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. For 

further information about commenting 

on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section 

of this document. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public
