[EPA-R05-OAR-2009-0695; FRL-9689-8]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin; 
Volatile Organic Compound Emission Control Measures for Milwaukee and 
Sheboygan Ozone Nonattainment Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is approving, under the Clean Air Act (the Act), revisions 
to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on September 
1, 2009, November 16, 2011, and January 26, 2012. The purpose of these 
revisions is to satisfy the Act's requirement that states revise their 
SIPs to include Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for 
sources of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions in moderate ozone 
nonattainment areas. Wisconsin's VOC rules provide RACT requirements 
for the Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment 
areas. These rules are approvable because they are consistent with the 
Control Technique Guideline (CTG) documents issued by EPA in 2006 and 
2007 and satisfy the RACT requirements of the Act. EPA proposed this 
rule for

[[Page 46962]]

approval on February 22, 2012, and received no comments.

DATES: This final rule is effective on September 6, 2012.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID 
EPA-R05-OAR-2009-0695. All documents in the docket are listed on the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,'' 
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information 
section is arranged as follows:

I. What public comments were received on the proposed approval?
II. What action is EPA taking today and what is the basis of this 
action?
III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What public comments were received on the proposed approval?

    EPA proposed this rule for approval on February 22, 2012, and 
received no comments.

 II. What action is EPA taking today and what is the basis of this 
action?

    EPA is taking final action to approve into Wisconsin's SIP VOC RACT 
rules for the Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan 1997 8-hour ozone 
nonattainment areas that were submitted on September 1, 2009, November 
16, 2011, and January 26, 2012. The purpose of these rules is to 
satisfy the Act's requirement that states revise their SIPs to include 
RACT for sources of VOC emissions in moderate ozone nonattainment 
areas. Wisconsin's VOC rules provide RACT requirements for the 
Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. 
These rules are approvable because they are consistent with the CTG 
documents issued by EPA in 2006 and 2007 and satisfy the RACT 
requirements of the Act.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the 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 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 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 Act, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by October 9, 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to 
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

    (123) On September 1, 2009, November 16, 2011, and January 26, 
2012, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources submitted new and 
revised rules to be incorporated into its SIP. Wisconsin revised it 
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) rules to satisfy the Clean Air Act's 
(Act) requirement that states revise their SIPs to include Reasonably 
Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources of VOC emissions in 
moderate ozone nonattainment areas. Wisconsin's VOC rules provide RACT 
requirements for the Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan 1997 8-hour ozone 
nonattainment areas.
