PS Form 1583 in the physical or virtual

of the CMRA owner, manager, or 

authorized employee, or acknowledge 

his or her signature on the PS Form 

1583 in the physical or virtual (in realtime audio and video) presence of a 

notary public. 

These proposed clarifications are 

reflected in proposed corresponding 

revisions to the applicable provisions of 

PS Form 1583, including: 

• Revising the notarial statement to read 

‘‘Notary Public in and for the STATE OF 

lll, COUNTY OF lll. On this lll 

day of lll, 20ll, the applicant lll, 

who proved to me on the basis of satisfactory 

evidence to be the person whose name is 

subscribed to this application, appeared 

before me, and acknowledged his or her 

signature.’’; and 

• Adding the following statement to the 

Note on the second page of PS Form 1583: 

‘‘The applicant must sign or acknowledge his 

or her signature in the physical or virtual (in 

real-time audio and video) presence of the 

agent or his or her authorized employee, or 

acknowledge his or her signature in the 

physical or virtual (in real-time audio and 

video) presence of a notary public 

commissioned in a United States state, 

territory, possession, or the District of 

Columbia.’’. 

After consideration of comments, and 

assuming that the Postal Service still 

intends to pursue these revisions as a 

final rule, the Postal Service will aim to 

implement any change effective 

February 1, 2024. 

We believe this proposed revision 

will provide CMRA owners/managers 

with a more efficient process for 

accepting the PS Form 1583 and 

establishing mail delivery for a private 

mailbox (PMB) customer of the CMRA. 

Although exempt from the notice and 

comment requirements of the 

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 

553(b), (c)) regarding proposed

Postal Service invites public comment 

on the proposed revisions to Mailing 

Standards of the United States Postal 

Service, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM),

1The submittal was transmitted to the EPA via a 

letter from CARB dated July 5, 2022. 

2The relevant nonattainment designation and 

classification history for the ozone NAAQS for the 

eastern portion of San Luis Obispo County is 

provided in our Technical Support Document (TSD) 

for this action, which can be found in the docket 

for this rule. Information regarding the District’s 

attainment/nonattainment status for other criteria 

pollutants is also included in our TSD. 

3CAA section 110(a)(2)(A) requires that 

regulations submitted to the EPA for SIP approval 

be clear and legally enforceable, and CAA section 

110(a)(2)(E)(i) requires that states have adequate 

personnel, funding, and authority under state law 

to carry out their proposed SIP revisions. 

4CAA section 110(l) requires SIP revisions to be 

subject to reasonable notice and public hearing 

prior to adoption and submittal by states to the EPA 

and prohibits the EPA from approving any SIP 

revision that would interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and reasonable

proposal with the dates on which it was 

adopted by the local air agency and 

submitted by the California Air 

Resources Board (CARB or ‘‘the State’’). 

TABLE 1—SUBMITTED RULE

Agency Rule # Rule title Adopted Submitted 1

SLOCAPCD ...... 224 Federal Requirements for New and Modified Major Sources in Non-Attainment Areas.01/26/22 07/05/22 

On January 5, 2023, the submittal for 

Rule 224 was deemed by operation of 

law 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? 

There are no previous versions of 

Rule 224 in the SIP. 

C. What is the purpose of the submitted 

rule? 

For areas designated nonattainment 

for one or more National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQS), the 

applicable SIP must include 

preconstruction review and permitting 

requirements for new or modified major 

stationary sources of such 

nonattainment pollutant(s) under part D 

of title I of the Act, commonly referred 

to as Nonattainment New Source 

Review (NNSR). In addition, to 

implement CAA section 169A, 40 CFR 

51.307(b) requires that NNSR programs 

provide for review of any major 

stationary source or major modification 

that may have an impact on visibility in 

any mandatory Class I Federal area. 

Because the eastern portion of San Luis 

Obispo County is designated as a federal 

ozone nonattainment area for the 2008 

and 2015 ozone NAAQS, with a 

Marginal classification, the CAA 

requires the District to have a SIPapproved NNSR program for new and 

modified major sources located in the 

ozone nonattainment area that are under 

its jurisdiction.2

Rule 224 is intended to address the 

CAA’s statutory and regulatory 

requirements for NNSR permit programs 

for major sources emitting 

nonattainment air pollutants and their 

precursors in the areas within the 

District that are designated 

nonattainment for the NAAQS, 

including the implementing regulations 

at 40 CFR 51.160–51.165, and the 

relevant regulatory requirements at 40 

CFR 51.307. 

II. The EPA’s Evaluation and Action 

A. How is the EPA evaluating the rule? 

The EPA reviewed Rule 224 for 

compliance with CAA requirements for: 

(1) stationary source preconstruction 

permitting programs as set forth in CAA 

part D, including CAA sections 172(c)(5) 

and 173; (2) the review and 

modification of major sources in 

accordance with 40 CFR 51.160–51.165 

as applicable in a Marginal ozone 

nonattainment area; (3) the review of 

new major stationary sources or major 

modifications in a designated 

nonattainment area that may have an 

impact on visibility in any mandatory 

Class I Federal area in accordance with 

40 CFR 51.307; (4) SIPs in general as set 

forth in CAA sections 110(a)(2), 

including 110(a)(2)(A) and 

110(a)(2)(E)(i); 3 and (5) SIP revisions as 

set forth in CAA section 110(l) 4 and 

193.5 Our review evaluated the 

submittal for compliance with the 

NNSR requirements applicable to ozone 

nonattainment areas classified as 

Marginal, and ensured that the 

submittal addressed the NNSR 

requirements for the 2008 and 2015 

ozone NAAQS. 

B. Does the rule meet the evaluation 

criteria? 

With respect to procedural 

requirements, CAA sections 110(a)(2) 

and 110(l) require that revisions to a SIP 

be adopted by the state after reasonable 

notice and public hearing. Based on our 

review of the public process 

documentation included in the July 5, 

2022 submittal of Rule 224, we find that 

the District has provided sufficient 

evidence of public notice, opportunity 

for comment and a public hearing prior 

to adoption and submittal of the rule to 

the EPA. 

With respect to the substantive 

requirements found in CAA sections 

172(c)(5) and 173, and 40 CFR 51.160– 

51.165, we have evaluated Rule 224 in 

accordance with the applicable CAA 

and regulatory requirements that apply 

to NNSR permit programs under part D 

of title I of the Act for all relevant ozone 

NAAQS. We find that Rule 224 satisfies 

these requirements as they apply to 

sources subject to NNSR permit program 

requirements for ozone nonattainment 

areas classified as Marginal. We have 

also determined that these rules satisfy 

the related visibility requirements in 40 

CFR 51.307. In addition, we have 

determined that the Rule 224 satisfies 

the requirement in CAA section 

110(a)(2)(A) that regulations submitted 

to the EPA for SIP approval be clear and 

legally enforceable, and have 

determined that the submittal 

demonstrates in accordance with CAA 

section 110(a)(2)(E)(i) that the District 

has adequate personnel, funding, and 

authority under state law to carry out 

this proposed SIP revision. 

Regarding the additional substantive 

requirements of CAA sections 110(l) and 

193, our action will result in a more 

stringent SIP, while not relaxing any 


ddrumheller on DSK120RN23PROD with PROPOSALS1
90140 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 249 / Friday, December 29, 2023 / Proposed Rules 

existing provision contained in the SIP. 

We have concluded that our action 

would comply with section 110(l) 

because our approval of this rule will 

not interfere with any applicable 

requirement concerning attainment and 

reasonable further progress, or any other 

CAA applicable requirement. In 

addition, our approval of this rule will 

not relax any pre-November 15, 1990 

requirement in the SIP, and therefore 

changes to the SIP resulting from this 

action ensure greater or equivalent 

emission reductions of the 

nonattainment pollutants and their 

precursors in the District; accordingly, 

we have concluded that our action is 

consistent with the requirements of 

CAA section 193. 

Our TSD, which can be found in the 

docket for this rule, contains a more 

detailed discussion of our analysis of 

Rule 224. 

C. Proposed Action and Public 

Comment 

As authorized in section 110(k)(3) of 

the Act, the EPA proposes to fully 

approve the submitted rule because it 

fulfills all relevant requirements. 

We have concluded that our approval 

of the submitted rule would comply 

with the relevant provisions of CAA 

sections 110(a)(2), 110(l), 172(c)(5), 173, 

and 193, and 40 CFR 51.160–51.165 and 

40 CFR 51.307. If we finalize this action 

as proposed, our action will be codified 

through revisions to 40 CFR 52.220a 

(Identification of plan-in part). 

In conjunction with the EPA’s SIP 

approval of the District’s visibility 

provisions for sources subject to the 

NNSR program as meeting the relevant 

requirements of 40 CFR 51.307, this 

action would also revise the regulatory 

provision at 40 CFR 52.281(d) 

concerning the applicability of the 

visibility Federal Implementation Plan 

(FIP) at 40 CFR 52.28 as it pertains to 

California, to provide that this FIP does 

not apply to sources subject to review 

under the District’s SIP-approved NNSR 

program. 

We will accept comments from the 

public on this proposal until January 29, 

2024. 

III. Incorporation by Reference 

In this rule, the EPA is proposing to 

include in a final EPA rule regulatory 

text that includes incorporation by 

reference. In accordance with 

requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is 

proposing to incorporate by reference 

Rule 224, ‘‘Federal Requirements for 

New and Modified Major Sources in 

Non-Attainment Areas,’’ adopted on 

January 26, 2022. Rule 224 is intended 

to address the CAA’s statutory and 

regulatory requirements for 

Nonattainment New Source Review 

permit programs for major sources 

emitting nonattainment air pollutants 

and their precursors under part D of title 

I of the CAA. The EPA has made, and 

will continue to make, these materials 

available through https://

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region IX Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

IV. 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, the EPA’s role is to 

approve state choices, provided that 

they meet the criteria of the Clean Air 

Act. Accordingly, this proposed 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 14094 (88 FR 

21879, April 11, 2023); 

• 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 subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) 

because it proposes to approve a state 

program; 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); and 

• 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. 

In addition, the SIP is not approved 

to apply on any Indian reservation land 

or in any other area where the 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 and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

Executive Order 12898 (Federal 

Actions To Address Environmental 

Justice in Minority Populations and 

Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629, 

Feb. 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies 

to identify and address 

‘‘disproportionately high and adverse 

human health or environmental effects’’ 

of their actions on minority populations 

and low-income populations to the 

greatest extent practicable and 

permitted by law. The EPA defines 

environmental justice (EJ) as ‘‘the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of all people regardless of race, color, 

national origin, or income with respect 

to the development, implementation, 

and enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies.’’ The EPA 

further defines the term fair treatment to 

mean that ‘‘no group of people should 

bear a disproportionate burden of 

environmental harms and risks, 

including those resulting from the 

negative environmental consequences of 

industrial, governmental, and 

commercial operations or programs and 

policies.’’ 

The State did not evaluate 

environmental justice considerations as 

part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and 

applicable implementing regulations 

neither prohibit nor require such an 

evaluation. The EPA did not perform an 

EJ analysis and did not consider EJ in 

this action. Due to the nature of the 

action being taken here, this action is 

expected to have a neutral to positive 

impact on the air quality of the affected 

area. Consideration of EJ is not required 

as part of this action, and there is no 

information in the record inconsistent 

with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of 

achieving environmental justice for 

people of color, low-income 

populations, and Indigenous peoples.
