40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R04–OAR–2012–0762; FRL–9782–1] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Tennessee: 

Knox County Supplement Motor 

Vehicle Emissions Budget Update 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve a revision to the 

Tennessee State Implementation Plan 

(SIP), submitted to EPA on December 

13, 2012, by the State of Tennessee, 

through the Tennessee Department of 

Environment and Conservation (TDEC). 

Tennessee’s December 13, 2012, SIP 

revision includes changes to the 

maintenance plan for the Knox County 

1-hour ozone area submitted on August 

26, 1992, and approved by EPA on 

September 27, 1993, and a subsequent 

SIP revision approved by EPA on 

August 5, 1997. The Knox County 1- 

hour ozone area was comprised of Knox 

County in its entirety. The December 13, 

2012 SIP revision proposes to increase 

the safety margin allocated to motor 

vehicle emissions budgets (MVEB) for 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile 

organic compounds (VOC) for Knox 

County to account for changes in the 

emissions model and vehicle miles 

traveled (VMT) projection model. EPA 

is approving this SIP revision because 

the State has demonstrated that it is 

consistent with the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or Act). 

DATES: This rule is effective on April 22, 

2013 without further notice, unless EPA 

receives relevant adverse comment by 

March 22, 2013. If EPA receives such 

comment, EPA will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that this rule will 

not take effect.

1Subsequent to designating Knox County 

nonattainment for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS, EPA 

has since designated Knox County as part of the 

larger Knoxville nonattainment area for the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS (see 69 FR 23857, April 30, 

2004) and the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS (see 77 

FR 30160, May 21, 2012). This proposed action 

relates primarily to the MVEB established for Knox 

County for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS, and does not 

relate to the MVEB approved for 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS for the Knoxville Area, nor does it relate 

to any pending MVEB that may be contemplated for 

the Knoxville Area for the 2008 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS.

Revision

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background 

The Knox County, Tennessee, 1-hour 

ozone attainment and maintenance area 

is comprised of only Knox County in its 

entirety in Tennessee (hereafter referred 

to as the ‘‘Knox County’’ or ‘‘Area’’). 

Knox County was originally designated 

as marginal nonattainment for the 1- 

hour ozone national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS) on November 6, 

1991 (56 FR 56694).1 Knox County was 

redesignated as attainment for the 1- 

hour ozone NAAQS on September 27, 

1993 (58 FR 50271). In this approval, 

was a 10-year air quality maintenance 

plan covering the years 1994–2004. A 

subsequent revision to the Knox County 

Area maintenance plan was approved 

by EPA on August 5, 1997, that 

established MVEB for transportation 

conformity purposes. That plan satisfied 

the CAA requirement for a 10-year 

update of the Knox County 1-hour 

ozone maintenance plan. 

On October 12, 2012, TDEC submitted 

a draft SIP revision which included 

changes to the emissions inventory for 

both on-road and off-road mobile 

sources using the latest EPA-approved 

mobile emissions and NONROAD 

models. New emissions data for both the 

new base year (attainment year) and the 

projected years (2004 and 2014) were 

calculated. The plan updated the 2004 

MVEB and provided for a new MVEB 

for the year 2014. 

On December 18, 2012, (77 FR 74820), 

EPA proposed to approve through 

parallel processing Tennessee’s October 

12, 2012, draft SIP revision with 

changes to the maintenance plan for the 

Knox County 1-hour ozone area. EPA 

did not receive any comments, adverse 

or otherwise, for the December 18, 2012, 

proposed rulemaking. The MVEB for the 

Knox County 1-hour ozone area that 

were published in EPA’s proposed 

rulemaking on December 18, 2012, were 

not the same as the MVEB provided in 

Tennessee’s December 13, 2012, final 

SIP revision related to the Knox County 

1-hour ozone area. Consequently, EPA is 

not finalizing its December 13, 2012, 

proposal but is instead replacing that 

proposal with today’s direct final 

rulemaking and accompanying 

proposed rulemaking. EPA is approving 

the State’s implementation plan revision 

as a direct final action with a parallel 

proposal because the Agency views this 

as a noncontroversial submittal and 

anticipates no adverse comments. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is 

discussed below. 

II. EPA’s Analysis of Tennessee’s SIP 

Revision 

As discussed above, on December 13, 

2012, the State of Tennessee, through 

TDEC, submitted a SIP revision to revise 

the MVEB for the Knox County 1-hour 

ozone maintenance plan to increase the 

safety margin as a result of new 

emissions model, VMT projection 

models, and other emission model input 

data. The MVEB (expressed in tons per 

day (tpd)) that are being updated 

through today’s action were originally 

approved by EPA on September 27, 

1993, updated on August 5, 1997, and 

February 4, 2004, and are outlined in 

the table below.

TDEC is currently allocating portions 

of the available safety margin 2 to the

11756 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 

categories (i.e., point, area, and mobile) and the 

projected level of emissions from all source 

categories. The State may choose to allocate some 

of the safety margin to the MVEB, for transportation 

conformity purposes, so long as the total level of 

emissions from all source categories remains equal 

to or less than the attainment level of emissions. 

3EPA previously extended the grace period to use 

MOVES for regional emissions analysis in 

conformity determinations to March 2, 2013 (77 FR 

11394). 

MVEB to account for new emissions 

models, VMT projections models, as 

well as changes to future vehicle mix 

assumptions, that influence the 

emission estimations. TDEC has now 

decided to allocate a majority of the 

safety margin available to the MVEB. 

Specifically, 7.97 tpd of the available 

VOC safety margin (15.94) is allocated 

to the 2004 MVEB, and 11.61 tpd for the 

available 2014 MVEB (23.22). 

Additionally, 2.79 tpd of the available 

NOX safety margin are allocated to the 

2004 MVEB and 18.43 tpd for the 2014 

MVEB. The remaining safety margin for 

VOC for 2004 is 7.97 tpd and for 2014 

is 11.61 tpd. As a result, there will be 

no safety margin remaining for NOX for 

2004 and 2014. 

The following tables provide the 

adjusted VOC and NOX emissions data, 

for the 2004 base attainment year 

inventories, as well as the projected 

VOC and NOX emissions inventory 

2014.

Taking into consideration the portion 

of the safety margin applied to the 

MVEB, the resulting difference between 

the attainment level of emissions from 

all sources and the projected level of 

emissions from all sources in the 

maintenance area, the area still attains 

the NAAQS and meets the maintenance 

requirements. The new safety margins, 

are listed below in Table 6. 

TABLE 6—NEW SAFETY MARGINS FOR

THE KNOX COUNTY

Year VOC tpd NOX tpd 

2004 .......................... 7.97 0 

2014 .......................... 11.61 0 

As shown in Tables 2 and 3 above, 

VOC and NOX total emissions in Knox 

County are projected to steadily 

decrease from 2004 to the maintenance 

year of 2014. This VOC and NOX

emission decrease demonstrates 

continued attainment/maintenance of 

the 1-hour ozone NAAQS for ten years 

from 2004 (the year the Area was 

effectively designated attainment for the 

1-hour ozone NAAQS) as required by 

the CAA. 

The revised MVEB that Tennessee 

submitted for the Knox County Area 

were developed with projected mobile 

source emissions derived using the 

MOBILE6 motor vehicle emissions 

model. This model was the most current 

model available at the time Tennessee 

was performing its analysis. However, 

EPA has now issued an updated motor 

vehicle emissions model known as 

Motor Vehicle Emission Simulator or 

MOVES. In its announcement of this 

model, EPA established a two-year grace 

period for continued use of MOBILE6.2 

in regional emissions analyses for 

transportation plan and transportation 

improvement programs (TIPs) 

conformity determinations (extending to 

March 2, 2013),3 after which states 

(other than California) must use MOVES 

in conformity determinations for TIPs. 

As stated above, MOBILE6.2 was the 

applicable mobile source emissions 

model that was available when the 

original SIP was submitted. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve Tennessee’s December 13, 

2012, SIP revision to allocate a portion 

of the available safety margin to the 

MVEB for the Knox County 1-hour 

ozone maintenance Area. This action, 

will result in higher NOX and VOC 

MVEB for transportation conformity 

purposes for Knox County, and would 

still be consistent with attainment for 

the 1-hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is 

proposing this action because it is 

consistent with the CAA and the 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 34 / Wednesday, February 20, 2013 / Rules and Regulations 11757 

transportation conformity requirements 

at 40 CFR part 93. 

On March 12, 2008, EPA issued 

revised ozone NAAQS. The current 

action, however, is being taken to 

address requirements under the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. EPA is publishing 

this rule without prior proposal because 

the Agency views this as a noncontroversial amendment 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 an 

adverse comment be filed. This rule will 

be effective on March 22, 2013 without 

further notice unless the Agency 

receives adverse comment by March 22, 

2013. 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 public comments 

received will then be addressed in a 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

must do so at this time. If no such 

comments are received, the public is 

advised this rule will be effective on 

April 22, 2013 and no further action 

will be taken on the proposed rule. 

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 

• 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, 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 April 22, 2013. 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).

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Missouri State Implementation Plan

revision will amend the rule restricting 

emissions of particulate matter from 

industrial sources by providing an 

alternative compliance method for wet 

corn milling drying operations. The 

revisions to Missouri’s rule do not have 

an adverse affect on air quality. EPA’s 

approval of this SIP revision is being 

done in accordance with the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective April 22, 2013, without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse 

comment by March 22, 2013. If EPA 

receives adverse comment, we will 

publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect.
