Inventory for the 2008 8-Hour Ozone 

Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve the portion of the state 

implementation plan (SIP) revision 

submitted by the State of Mississippi, 

through the Mississippi Department of 

Environmental Quality (MDEQ) on 

January 14, 2015, that addresses the 

base year emissions inventory 

requirements for the State’s portion of 

the Memphis, Tennessee-MississippiArkansas (Memphis, TN–MS–AR) 2008 

8-hour ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Memphis, TN–MS–AR Area’’ or 

‘‘Area’’). A base year emissions 

inventory is required for all ozone 

nonattainment areas. The Area is 

comprised of Shelby County in 

Tennessee, Crittenden County in 

Arkansas, and a portion of DeSoto 

County in Mississippi. EPA will take 

action on the emissions inventories for 

the Tennessee and Arkansas portions of 

the Area in separate actions. 

DATES: This direct final rule is effective 

August 31, 2015 without further notice, 

unless EPA receives adverse comment 

by August 3, 2015. If EPA receives such 

comments, it will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this rule will not take effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On March 12, 2008, EPA promulgated 

a revised 8-hour ozone NAAQS of 0.075 

parts per million (ppm). See 73 FR 

16436. Under EPA’s regulations at 40 

CFR part 50, the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS is attained when the 3-year 

average of the annual fourth-highest 

daily maximum 8-hour average ambient 

air quality ozone concentrations is less 

than or equal to 0.075 ppm. See 40 CFR 

50.15. Ambient air quality monitoring 

data for the 3-year period must meet a 

data completeness requirement. The 

ambient air quality monitoring data 

completeness requirement is met when 

the average percent of days with valid 

ambient monitoring data is greater than 

90 percent, and no single year has less 

than 75 percent data completeness as 

determined in appendix I of part 50. 

Upon promulgation of a new or 

revised NAAQS, the Clean Air Act 

(CAA or Act) requires EPA to designate 

as nonattainment any area that is 

violating the NAAQS, based on the 

three most recent years of ambient air 

quality data at the conclusion of the 

designation process. The Memphis, TN– 

MS–AR Area was designated 

nonattainment for the 2008 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS on May 21, 2012 

(effective July 20, 2012), using 2008– 

2010 ambient air quality data. See 77 FR 

30088. At the time of designation, the 

Memphis, TN–MS–AR Area was 

classified as a marginal nonattainment

37986 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 127 / Thursday, July 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

1The SIP Requirements Rule addresses a range of 

nonattainment area SIP requirements for the 2008 

ozone NAAQS, including requirements pertaining 

to attainment demonstrations, reasonable further 

progress (RFP), reasonably available control 

technology, reasonably available control measures, 

major new source review, emission inventories, and 

the timing of SIP submissions and of compliance 

with emission control measures in the SIP. The rule 

also revokes the 1997 ozone NAAQS and 

establishes anti-backsliding requirements. 

2 40 CFR 51.1110(b) states that at the time of 

designation for the 2008 ozone NAAQS the baseline 

emissions inventory shall be the emissions 

inventory for the most recent calendar year for 

which a complete triennial inventory is required to 

be submitted to EPA under the provisions of 

subpart A of the part. States may use an alternative 

baseline emissions inventory provided the state 

demonstrates why it is appropriate to use the 

alternative baseline year, and provided that the year 

selected is between the years 2008 to 2012. 3 ‘‘Ozone season day emissions’’ is defined as an 

average day’s emissions for a typical ozone season 

work weekday. The state shall select, subject to EPA 

approval, the particular month(s) in the ozone 

season and the day(s) in the work week to be 

represented, considering the conditions assumed in 

the development of RFP plans and/or emissions 

budgets for transportation conformity. See 40 CFR 

51.1100(cc). 

4 Data downloaded from the EPA EIS from the 

2011 NEI was subjected to quality assurance 

procedures described under quality assurance 

details under 2011 NEI Version 1 Documentation 

located at http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/

2011inventory.html#inventorydoc. The quality 

assurance and quality control procedures and 

measures associated with this data are outlined in 

the State’s EPA-approved Emission Inventory 

Quality Assurance Project Plan. 

area for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

On March 6, 2015, EPA finalized a rule 

entitled ‘‘Implementation of the 2008 

National Ambient Air Quality Standards 

for Ozone: State Implementation Plan 

Requirements’’ (SIP Requirements Rule) 

that establishes the requirements that 

state, tribal, and local air quality 

management agencies must meet as they 

develop implementation plans for areas 

where air quality exceeds the 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS.1 See 80 FR 12264. 

This rule establishes nonattainment area 

attainment dates based on Table 1 of 

section 181(a) of the CAA, including an 

attainment date three years after the July 

20, 2012, effective date, for areas 

classified as marginal for the 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. Therefore, the 

attainment date for the Memphis, TN– 

MS–AR Area is July 20, 2015. 

Based on the nonattainment 

designation, Mississippi was required to 

develop a nonattainment SIP revision 

addressing certain CAA requirements. 

Specifically, pursuant to CAA section 

182(a)(1), Mississippi was required to 

submit a SIP revision addressing 

emissions inventory requirements. 

Ground level ozone is not emitted 

directly into the air, but is created by 

chemical reactions between oxides of 

nitrogen (NOX) and volatile organic 

compounds (VOC) in the presence of 

sunlight. Emissions from industrial 

facilities and electric utilities, motor 

vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, and 

chemical solvents are some of the major 

sources of NOX and VOC. Section 

182(a)(1) of the CAA requires states with 

areas designated nonattainment for the 

ozone NAAQS to submit a SIP revision 

providing a comprehensive, accurate, 

and current inventory of actual 

emissions from all sources of the 

relevant pollutant or pollutants in such 

area. NOX and VOCs are the relevant 

pollutants because they are the 

precursors of ozone. 

On January 14, 2015, Mississippi 

submitted a SIP revision containing a 

base year emissions inventory for its 

portion of the Memphis, TN–MS–AR 

Area. EPA is now taking action to 

approve the portion of the SIP revision 

addressing the emissions inventory as 

meeting the requirements of sections 

110 and 182(a)(1) of the CAA. More 

information on EPA’s analysis of 

Mississippi’s emissions inventory is 

provided below. 

II. Analysis of the State’s Base Year 

Emissions Inventory 

As discussed above, section 182(a)(1) 

of the CAA requires states to submit a 

comprehensive, accurate, and current 

inventory of actual emissions from all 

sources of the relevant pollutant or 

pollutants in each ozone non-attainment 

area. The section 182(a)(1) base year 

inventory is defined in the SIP 

Requirements Rule as ‘‘a 

comprehensive, accurate, current 

inventory of actual emissions from 

sources of VOC and NOX emitted within 

the boundaries of the nonattainment 

area as required by CAA section 

182(a)(1).’’ See 40 CFR 51.1100(bb). The 

inventory year must be selected 

consistent with the baseline year for the 

RFP plan as required by 40 CFR 

51.1110(b),2 and the inventory must 

include actual ozone season day 

emissions as defined in 40 CFR 

51.1100(cc) 3 and contain data elements 

consistent with the detail required by 40 

CFR part 51, subpart A. See 40 CFR 

51.1115(a), (c), (e). In addition, the point 

source emissions included in the 

inventory must be reported according to 

the point source emissions thresholds of 

the Air Emissions Reporting 

Requirements (AERR) in 40 CFR part 51, 

subpart A. 40 CFR 51.1115(d). 

Mississippi selected 2011 as the base 

year for the emissions inventory which 

is the year corresponding with the first 

triennial inventory under 40 CFR part 

51, subpart A. This base year is one of 

the three years of ambient data used to 

designate the Area as a nonattainment 

area and therefore represents emissions 

associated with nonattainment 

conditions. The emissions inventory is 

based on data developed and submitted 

by MDEQ to EPA’s 2011 National 

Emissions Inventory (NEI), and it 

contains data elements consistent with 

the detail required by 40 CFR part 51, 

subpart A.4

Mississippi’s emissions inventory for 

its portion of the Area provides 2011 

emissions data for NOX and VOCs for 

the following general source categories: 

point, nonpoint (excluding biogenic 

sources), nonroad mobile, and onroad 

mobile. A detailed discussion of the 

inventory development is located in 

Appendix V to Mississippi’s January 14, 

2015, submittal which is provided in 

the docket for this action. The table 

below provides a summary of the 

emissions inventory.

5Mississippi used EPA’s Motor Vehicle 

Emissions Simulator (MOVES) version 2010b. 

According to the Emissions Inventory Guidance for 

Ozone [& PM] NAAQS Implementation and 

Regional Haze Regulations, all states but California, 

for on-road mobile emissions should be estimated 

with the latest EPA on-road mobile model, MOVES, 

following the latest guidance available at http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/models/moves/index.htm#sip. 

6This guidance includes: Emissions Inventory 

Guidance for Implementation of Ozone and 

Particulate Matter National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) and Regional Haze 

Regulations, EPA–454/R–05–001 (August 2005, 

updated November 2005); Policy Guidance on the 

Use of MOVES2010 for State Implementation Plan 

Development, Transportation Conformity, and 

Other Purposes, EPA–420–B–09–046 (December 

2009); and Technical Guidance on the Use of 

MOVES2010 for Emission Inventory Preparation in 

State Implementation Plans and Transportation 

Conformity, EPA–420–B–10–023 (April 2010). 

7This guidance includes: Procedures for Emission 

Inventory Preparation, Volume IV: Mobile Sources, 

EPA–450/4–81–026d (July 1991). 

The emissions reported for DeSoto 

County reflect the emissions for only the 

nonattainment portion of the county. 

The inventory contains point source 

emissions data for facilities located 

within the Mississippi portion of the 

Area based on Geographic Information 

Systems (GIS) mapping. For the 

remaining emissions categories, 

emissions for the Mississippi portion of 

the Area were determined based on the 

population of the nonattainment portion 

of DeSoto County. More details on the 

emissions inventory for individual 

source categories is provided below and 

in Appendix V to Mississippi’s SIP 

submittal. 

Point sources are large, stationary, 

identifiable sources of emissions that 

release pollutants into the atmosphere. 

The point source emissions inventory 

for Mississippi’s portion of the 

Memphis, TN–MS–AR Area was 

reported from the 2011 NEI data. These 

sources are required to submit inventory 

data according to the AERR. The point 

source emissions data meets the point 

source emissions thresholds of 40 CFR 

part 51, subpart A. 

Nonpoint sources are small emission 

stationary sources which, due to their 

large number, collectively have 

significant emissions (e.g., dry cleaners, 

service stations). Emissions for these 

sources were calculated using 

established factors provided by EPA. 

These emissions were estimated at the 

county-level. Mississippi calculated 

average summer day nonpoint source 

emissions by summing the nonpoint 

emissions during the total five summer 

months (May, June, July, August and 

September) in 2011 and dividing by the 

total by the number of 2011 summer 

days. 

On-road mobile sources include 

vehicles used on roads for 

transportation of passengers or freight. 

For on-road mobile sources, Mississippi 

used the 2011 emissions inventory 

developed by the Memphis Urban Area 

Metropolitan Planning Organization 

with input from MDEQ and others as 

part of the 2040 DeSoto County 

Nonattainment Area Moves Air Quality 

Conformity Demonstration. The 

inventory was created using EPA’s 

Motor Vehicle Emissions Simulator 

(MOVES)-2010(b) mobile model to 

estimate emissions.5 County level onroad modeling was conducted using 

county-specific vehicle population, and 

other local data. Mississippi developed 

its on-road emissions inventory using 

the State’s MOVES2010b modeling 

results for each ozone nonattainment 

county. Mississippi developed its 

inventory according to the current EPA 

emissions inventory guidance for onroad mobile sources.6

Non-road mobile sources include 

vehicles, engines, and equipment used 

for construction, agriculture, recreation, 

and other purposes that do not use 

roadways (e.g., lawn mowers, 

construction equipment, railroad 

locomotives, and aircraft). The 

emissions from non-road mobile sources 

other than rail yards and airports were 

derived from 2011 NEI. EPA estimated 

non-road emissions for the 2011 NEI 

using the NONROAD model. 

Mississippi developed its inventory 

according to the current EPA emissions 

inventory guidance for non-road mobile 

sources.7 For the reasons discussed 

above, EPA has determined that 

Mississippi’s emissions inventory meets 

the requirements under CAA section 

182(a)(1) and the SIP Requirements Rule 

for the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving the portion of the 

SIP revision submitted by Mississippi 

on January 14, 2015, that addresses the 

base year emissions inventory for the 

Memphis, TN–MS–AR Area. EPA has 

concluded that this portion of the 

State’s submission meets the 

requirements of sections 110 and 182 of 

the CAA. EPA is publishing this rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. However, in the proposed 

rules section of this Federal Register 

publication, EPA is publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposal to approve the SIP revision 

should adverse comments be filed. This 

rule will be effective August 31, 2015 

without further notice unless the 

Agency receives adverse comments by 

August 3, 2015. 

If EPA receives such comments, then 

EPA will publish a document 

withdrawing the final rule and 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. All adverse comments 

received will then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period. Parties 

interested in commenting should do so 

at this time. If no such comments are 

received, the public is advised that this 

rule will be effective on August 31, 2015 

and no further action will be taken on 

the proposed rule. 

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, the Agency may 

adopt as final those provisions of the 

rule that are not the subject of an 

adverse comment. 

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 

Act and applicable federal regulations. 

See 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 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• 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); 


asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with FRONTMATTER
37988 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 127 / Thursday, July 2, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

• 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, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where EPA or an 

Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 

tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of 

Indian country, the rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), nor will it 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by August 31, 2015. 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 this 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).

Technical Amendments to the 

Hazardous and Solid Waste 

Management System; Disposal of Coal 

Combustion Residuals From Electric 

Utilities—Correction of the Effective 

Date 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA or the Agency) is taking 

action to amend the final rule regulating 

the disposal of coal combustion 

residuals (CCR) as solid waste under 

subtitle D of the Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act (RCRA). After 

publication in the Federal Register, 

inconsistencies resulting from 

typographical errors established two 

different effective dates in the regulatory 

text for the final CCR rule. This action 

corrects these inconsistencies and 

revises the Code of Federal Regulations 

(CFR) so that it accurately reflects the 

statutory effective date of six months
