registering, have unreadable registers, 

inaccurately reflect their current status, 

show any evidence of possible 

tampering or abuse, and those for which 

there is any indication that the postage 

meter has some mechanical or electrical 

malfunction of any critical security 

component, such as any component the 

improper operation of which could 

adversely affect Postal Service revenues, 

or of any memory component, or that 

affects the accuracy of the registers or 

the accuracy of the value printed. 

(7) Lost or stolen postage meter 

procedures—the provider must 

promptly report to the Postal Service the 

loss or theft of any postage meter or the 

recovery of any lost or stolen postage 

meter. Such notification to the Postal 

Service will be made by completing and 

filing a standardized lost and stolen 

meter incident report within 10 

calendar days of the provider’s 

determination of a meter loss, theft, or 

recovery. 

(8) Postage meter destruction—when 

required, the postage meter must be 

rendered completely inoperable by the 

destruction process and associated 

postage; printing dies and components 

must be destroyed. Manufacturers or 

distributors of meters must submit the 

proposed destruction method; a 

schedule listing the postage meters to be 

destroyed, by serial number and model; 

and the proposed time and place of 

destruction to Payment Technology for 

approval prior to any meter destruction. 

Providers must record and retain the 

serial numbers of the meters to be 

destroyed and provide a list of such 

serial numbers in electronic form in 

accordance with Postal Service 

requirements for meter accounting and 

tracking systems. Providers must give 

sufficient advance notice of the 

destruction to allow Payment 

Technology to schedule observation by 

its designated representative who shall 

verify that the destruction is performed 

in accordance with a Postal Serviceapproved method or process. To the 

extent that the Postal Service elects not 

to observe a particular destruction, the 

provider must submit a certification of 

destruction, including the serial 

number(s), to the Postal Service within 

5 calendar days of destruction. These 

requirements for meter destruction 

apply to all postage meters, Postage 

Evidencing Systems, and postal security 

devices included as a component of a 

Postage Evidencing System. 

(d) If the provider uses a third party 

to perform functions that may have an 

impact upon a Postage Evidencing 

System (especially its security), 

including, but not limited to, business 

relationships, repair, maintenance, and 

disposal of Postage Evidencing Systems, 

Payment Technology must be advised in 

advance of all aspects of the 

relationship, as they relate to the 

custody and control of Postage 

Evidencing Systems and must 

specifically authorize in writing the 

proposed arrangement between the 

parties. 

(1) Postal Service authorization of a 

third-party relationship to perform 

specific functions applies only to the 

functions stated in the written 

authorization but may be amended to 

embrace additional functions. 

(2) No third-party relationship shall 

compromise the Postage Evidencing 

System, or its components, including, 

but not limited to, the hardware, 

software, communications, and security 

components, or of any security-related 

system with which it interfaces, 

including, but not limited to, the 

resetting system, reporting systems, and 

Postal Service support systems. The 

functions of the third party with respect 

to a Postage Evidencing System, its 

components, and the systems with 

which it interfaces are subject to the 

same scrutiny as the equivalent 

functions of the provider. 

(3) Any authorized third party must 

keep adequate facilities for and records 

of Postage Evidencing Systems and their 

components in accordance with 

paragraph (b) of this section. All such 

facilities and records are subject to 

inspection by Postal Service 

representatives, insofar as they are used 

to distribute, control, store, maintain, 

repair, replace, destroy, or dispose of 

Postage Evidencing Systems. 

(4) The provider must ensure that any 

party acting on its behalf in any of the 

functions described in paragraph (b) of 

this section maintains adequate 

facilities, records, and procedures for 

the security of the Postage Evidencing 

Systems. Deficiencies in the operations 

of a third party relating to the custody 

and control of Postage Evidencing 

Systems, unless corrected in a timely 

manner, can place at risk a provider’s 

approval to manufacture and/or 

distribute Postage Evidencing Systems. 

(5) The Postal Service reserves the 

right to review all aspects of any 

relationship if it appears that the 

relationship poses a threat to Postage 

Evidencing System security and may 

require the provider to take appropriate 

corrective action. By entering into any 

relationship under this section, the 

provider is not relieved of any 

responsibility to the Postal Service, and 

such must be stated in any 

memorialization of the relationship.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Alabama: 

Removal of State Low-Reid Vapor 

Pressure Requirement for the 

Birmingham Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to 

approve a revision to the Alabama State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted 

by the Alabama Department of 

Environmental Management (ADEM), 

on January 10, 2012, for parallel 

processing. ADEM submitted the final 

version of the SIP revision on March 2, 

2012. The revision modifies Alabama’s 

SIP to move Chapter 335–3–20 ‘‘Control 

of Fuels,’’ which includes the regulation 

that governs the State’s 7.0 pounds per 

square inch (psi) requirement for the 

low-Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) fuel 

program in Jefferson and Shelby 

Counties (hereafter referred to as the 

‘‘Birmingham Area’’) from the active 

measures portion of the Alabama SIP to 

the contingency measures portions of 

the maintenance plans for the 

Birmingham Area for the ozone national 

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS 

or standards), and of the proposed 

maintenance plans for the 1997 annual 

fine particulate matter (PM2.5) standards, 

and the 2006 24-hour PM2.5 standards, 

when those actions are finalized. The 

change to the SIP will result in the 

federal RVP requirement of 7.8 psi 

applying for the Birmingham Area. EPA 

is approving this SIP revision because 

the State has demonstrated that it is 

consistent with section 110 of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA or Act). 

DATES: This final rule is effective April 

20, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

Number EPA–R04–OAR–2012–0118. All

23620 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

1On March 12, 2008, EPA promulgated a revised 

8-hour ozone NAAQS—also known as the 2008 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. Currently, the Agency is 

reviewing individual area’s compliance with the 

revised 8-hour ozone NAAQS and anticipates 

completing a designation process in the Spring of 

2012. Today’s rulemaking is not related to the 2008 

8-hour ozone NAAQS, however, EPA notes that 

2008–2010 and preliminary 2009–2011 monitoring 

data suggests that the Birmingham Area is attaining 

the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS. 

2The Birmingham Area was also designated 

nonattainment for the 1997 PM2.5 and the 2006 

PM2.5 NAAQS. In association with these 

redesignation requests, EPA proposed to approve 

maintenance plans which assume a high ozone 

season RVP requirement of 7.8 psi as opposed to 

the State requirement of 7.0 psi. Throughout this 

rulemaking, EPA’s reference to the maintenance 

plans for the 1997 PM2.5 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS 

is in reference to the proposed maintenance plans 

because these plans have been proposed for 

approval by EPA but have not yet been finalized.

I. What is the background for this final 

action? 

On March 2, 2012, ADEM submitted 

a revision to the Alabama SIP to move 

the state-level RVP requirement of 7.0 

psi from the active measures portions of 

the SIP to the contingency measures 

portions of the SIP. The applicable RVP 

requirement would then be the federal 

7.8 psi requirement and the 7.0 psi 

state-level requirement would be a part 

of the maintenance plans as contingency 

measures for the NAAQS discussed 

above. The State is not seeking a change 

to the federal RVP requirements of 7.8 

psi that are applicable to the 

Birmingham Area. 

Section 211(h) of the CAA requires 

EPA to set a maximum RVP standard of 

9.0 psi during the high ozone season, 

which is defined as June 1st through 

September 15th of each year. See also 40 

CFR 80.27. The CAA provides for more 

stringent requirements to be established 

for ozone nonattainment areas. In 

accordance with CAA section 211(h), 

EPA established a two-phase reduction 

in high ozone season commercial 

gasoline volatility. These rules focus on 

reducing gasoline emissions of volatile 

organic compounds (VOC). Phase I was 

applicable to calendar years 1989 

through 1991. Depending on the state 

and month, gasoline RVP was not to 

exceed 10.5 psi, 9.5 psi, or 9.0 psi. See 

54 FR 11868 (March 22, 1989). Phase II 

was applicable to calendar years 1992 

and later. Depending on the state and 

month, gasoline RVP may not exceed 

9.0 psi or 7.8 psi. See 55 FR 23658 (June 

11, 1990). A current listing of the RVP 

requirements for states can be found on 

EPA’s Web site at: http://www.epa.gov/ 

otaq/fuels/gasolinefuels/volatility/ 

standards.htm. 

The Birmingham Area was originally 

classified as a 1-hour ozone 

nonattainment area by EPA on March 3, 

1978 (43 FR 8962). The Birmingham 

nonattainment Area at that time was 

geographically defined as Jefferson 

County, Alabama. On November 6, 

1991, by operation of law under section 

181(a) of the CAA, EPA classified the 

Birmingham nonattainment area as a 

marginal nonattainment area for the 

1-hour ozone NAAQS and added Shelby 

County to the nonattainment area (56 FR 

56693). The nonattainment 

classification for the Birmingham 

marginal ozone area was based on 

ambient air sampling measurements for 

ozone made during 1987–1989. As an 

ozone nonattainment area, the 

Birmingham Area was subject to the 

federal RVP requirements of 7.8 psi for 

both Jefferson and Shelby Counties. 

Section 211(c)(4)(C) of the CAA 

allows states to seek a waiver from EPA 

to adopt into the federally-approved 

SIP, a state fuel program that is more 

stringent than federal requirements. 

Subsequently, in 2001, EPA approved a 

state fuel program that imposed a 7.0 psi 

requirement for this area, under section 

211(c)(4)(C) of the CAA. The low-RVP 

fuel program required that all gasoline 

sold during the control period (June 1st 

through September 15th) in the 

Birmingham Area contain a maximum 

RVP of 7.0 psi. 

The Birmingham Area subsequently 

attained the 1-hour ozone NAAQS and 

was redesignated for that NAAQS on 

March 12, 2004. See 69 FR 11798. At 

that time, ADEM included the 7.0 psi 

RVP requirement in its maintenance 

plan. Thereafter, the Birmingham Area 

was designated as a nonattainment for 

the more stringent 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS, effective June 15, 2004 (69 FR 

23858). On May 12, 2006 (71 FR 27631), 

the Birmingham Area was redesignated 

to attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS.1 As part of the requirement to 

be redesignated to attainment, ADEM 

developed a maintenance plan pursuant 

to CAA section 175A(a) that 

demonstrated the Area would maintain 

the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for at 

least 10 years after redesignation. In that 

maintenance demonstration, ADEM, in 

its emissions projections, adopted a 

conservative approach to the fuel 

requirement in the Area by assuming a 

high ozone season RVP requirement of 

9.0 psi as opposed to 7.0 psi.2 The State 

demonstrated that the Area could 

continue to maintain the ozone NAAQS 

with the 9.0 psi requirement. 

EPA’s primary consideration for 

determining the approvability of 

Alabama’s SIP revision is whether this 

requested action complies with section 

110(l) of the CAA. Section 110(l) of the 

CAA states: 

Plan Revision—Each revision to an 

implementation plan submitted by a State 

under this chapter shall be adopted by such 

State after reasonable notice and public 

hearing. The Administrator shall not approve 

a revision of a plan if the revision would 

interfere with any applicable requirement 

concerning attainment and reasonable further 

progress (as defined in section 7501 of this 

title), or any other applicable requirement of 

this chapter. 42 U.S.C. 7410(l). 

Alabama’s March 2, 2012, SIP 

revision requested only that the statelevel requirement of 7.0 psi be moved 

from the active measures portions of the 

Alabama SIP to the contingency 

measures portions of the maintenance 

plans for the ozone NAAQS, the annual 

1997 PM2.5 standards and the 2006 

24-hour PM2.5 standards. Because the 

RVP requirements currently are a part of 

the SIP, the revision must meet the 

requirements of CAA section 110(l). 

Therefore, as part of Alabama’s SIP 

revision request to change its RVP 

requirement, Alabama must 

demonstrate that the revision will not 

interfere with the attainment or 

maintenance of any of the NAAQS or 

any other applicable requirement of the 

CAA. 

Developing what is necessary for a 

SIP revision to comply with section 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 23621 

3The six NAAQS that EPA establishes health and 

welfare based standards are CO, lead, NO2, ozone, 

particulate matter, and SO2. 

110(l) is a case-by-case determination 

based upon the circumstances of each 

revision. EPA interprets 110(l) as 

applying to all NAAQS that are in effect, 

including those that have been 

promulgated but for which the EPA has 

not yet made designations. The specific 

elements of the SIP revision depend on 

the circumstances and emissions 

analyses. The State’s request does not 

involve a modification of the 7.8 psi 

federal RVP requirement, which is 

separately applicable by federal 

regulation (40 CFR 80.27) to both 

Jefferson and Shelby Counties. On 

March 5, 2012, EPA published a 

proposed rulemaking to approve the 

January 10, 2012, SIP revision under 

parallel processing. See 77 FR 13055. 

The proposed rulemaking considered 

the potential impacts with regard to a 

difference in RVP requirements for the 

Birmingham Area between the statelevel requirement of 7.0 psi and the 

federal-level requirement of 7.8 psi. 

Alabama’s March 2, 2012, SIP 

revision included an evaluation of the 

impact that the removal of the 7.0 psi 

state-level RVP requirement would have 

on the applicable NAAQS. For the 

purposes of this change, EPA made the 

preliminary determination that the 

applicable NAAQS 3 of interest for the 

noninterference demonstration required 

by section 110(l) of the CAA are the 

ozone, particulate matter and nitrogen 

oxides (NO2) standards because the RVP 

requirements result primarily in 

emissions benefits for VOCs and 

nitrogen oxides (NOX). VOCs and NOX

emissions are precursors for ozone and 

particulate matter, and NO2 is a 

component of NOX. Information 

regarding the State’s analysis is 

provided in the EPA’s March 5, 2012, 

proposed rulemaking. There are no 

emissions reductions attributable to the 

emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), 

lead and sulfur dioxide (SO2) from RVP 

requirements. As a result, there is no 

information indicating the revision 

would have any impact on those 

NAAQS. Additionally, the Birmingham 

Area is currently designated attainment 

for the CO, lead and SO2 NAAQS, and 

is continuing to attain these standards. 

Therefore, the analysis in the March 5, 

2012, rulemaking focused on the impact 

of Alabama’s changes to the RVP 

requirements on the ozone, particulate 

matter and NO2 NAAQS. See 77 FR 

13055. 

EPA’s March 5, 2012 (77 FR 13055), 

proposed approval was contingent upon 

Alabama providing EPA with a final SIP 

revision that was not changed 

significantly from the January 10, 2012, 

revision. Alabama provided its final SIP 

revision on March 2, 2012. There were 

no significant changes made to the final 

submittal. There are minor differences 

between the draft and final SIP 

submittals due to changes made by 

ADEM in response to comments made 

by EPA during the public comment 

period. EPA received no adverse 

comments on the March 5, 2012, 

proposed rulemaking. 

II. What is the effect of this action? 

The action being finalized today will 

remove the 7.0 psi requirement from the 

active portion of the Alabama SIP to the 

contingency measures portion of the 

maintenance plans for the ozone, and 

the proposed maintenance plans for the 

1997 PM2.5 and 2006 PM2.5 NAAQS, if 

finalized. This change will result in the 

federal RVP requirement of 7.8 psi 

applying for the Birmingham Area. 

III. What is EPA’s final action? 

EPA is taking final action to approve 

Alabama’s March 2, 2012, SIP revision 

regarding the State’s regulation at 

Chapter 335–3–20 ‘‘Control of Fuels’’ 

which identifies Alabama’s 7.0 psi 

requirement for the low-RVP fuel 

program in the Birmingham Area 

(i.e., Jefferson and Shelby Counties). 

Specifically, Alabama’s March 2, 2012, 

SIP revision moves the State’s 7.0 psi 

requirement for low-RVP fuel program 

in the Birmingham Area from the active 

measures portion to the contingency 

measures portions of the maintenance 

plans for ozone standards, and the 

proposed maintenance plans for the 

annual 1997 PM2.5 standard and the 

2006 24-hour PM2.5 standard, if 

finalized. This final will result in 

applicability of the federal RVP 

requirement of 7.8 psi for the 

Birmingham Area. 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(d), 

EPA finds there is good cause for this 

action to become effective immediately 

upon publication. This is because a 

delayed effective date is unnecessary 

and will eliminate any uncertainty as to 

which fuel requirement refiners that 

supply fuel to the Area must adhere to 

for the summer of 2012. The immediate 

effective date for this action is 

authorized under both 5 U.S.C. 

553(d)(1), which provides that 

rulemaking actions may become 

effective less than 30 days after 

publication if the rule grants or 

recognizes an exemption or relieves a 

restriction, and section 553(d)(3), which 

allows an effective date less than 30 

days after publication as otherwise 

provided by the agency for good cause 

found and published with the rule. The 

purpose of the 30-day waiting period 

prescribed in section 553(d) is to give 

affected parties a reasonable time to 

adjust their behavior and prepare before 

the final rule takes effect. Today’s rule, 

however, does not create any new 

regulatory requirements such that 

affected parties would need time to 

prepare before the rule takes effect. 

Rather, today’s rule will provide refiners 

time to plan for and supply fuel to the 

area. For these reasons, EPA finds good 

cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) for this 

action to become effective on the date of 

publication of this 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 

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 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 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 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
23622 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 77 / Friday, April 20, 2012 / Rules and Regulations 

• 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 CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by June 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. This action may not 

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2011–0944; FRL–9648–6] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

Leisure Properties LLC/D/B/A 

Crownline Boats; Adjusted Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is approving into the 

Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

an adjusted standard for Leisure 

Properties LLC/D/B/A Crownline Boats 

(Crownline) at its West Frankfort, 

Illinois facility. On June 10, 2011, the 

Illinois Environmental Protection 

Agency (IEPA) submitted to EPA for 

approval an adjustment to the general 

rule, Use of Organic Material Rule, 

commonly known as the eight pound 

per hour (8 lb/hr) rule, as it applies to 

emissions of volatile organic matter 

(VOM) from Crownline’s manufacturing 

facility. The adjusted standard relieves 

Crownline from being subject to the 

general rule for VOM emissions from its 

West Frankfort facility. EPA is 

approving this SIP revision because it 

will not interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of the ozone National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS). 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective June 19, 2012, unless EPA 

receives adverse comments by May 21, 

2012. If adverse comments are received, 

EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of 

the direct final rule in the Federal 

Register informing the public that the 

rule will not take effect.
