AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to 

the Texas State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) as it applies to the volatile organic 

compound (VOC) sources in the offset 

lithographic printing source category. 

We are approving revisions to the 

regulations for this source category as 

they apply in the Dallas/Fort Worth 

(DFW), El Paso and Houston/Galveston/ 

Brazoria (HGB) areas. These revisions 

are based on the recommendations for 

Reasonably Available Control 

Technology (RACT) in the Control 

Technique Guideline (CTG) issued in 

2006 entitled, ‘‘Lithographic Printing 

Materials and Letterpress Printing 

Materials.’’ We are also approving the 

corresponding RACT analysis for this 

category for both the HGB and DFW 

1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. 

The EPA is approving these revisions 

pursuant the federal Clean Air Act (the 

Act, CAA) and consistent with the 

EPA’s guidance. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

September 3, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. EPA–R06–OAR–2010–0332. All

I. Background 

The background for today’s final rule 

is discussed in our March 12, 2014 

proposal to approve revisions to the 

Texas SIP (79 FR 13963). In that action, 

we proposed to approve one submittal 

in full, and portions of two separate 

submittals: A Texas SIP revision 

submitted by the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) in April, 

2010, which updates the regulations 

that apply to offset lithographic printing 

based on the 2006 CTG for this category, 

and the portions of two other Texas SIP 

revisions submitted by the TCEQ in 

April, 2010, containing a RACT analysis 

for this source category for the DFW and 

the HGB areas. The TCEQ SIP 

submittals we proposed to approve 

March 12, 2014, and which we are 

approving in this final action are: 

(a) VOC CTG Update: CTG Category 

Offset Lithographic Rulemaking, 

adopted on March 10, 2010 and 

submitted April 5, 2010, providing rule 

revisions to 30 TAC, Chapter 115 

Control of Air Pollution from Volatile 

Organic Compounds, Subchapter E, 

Division 4, ‘‘Offset Lithographic 

Printing’’ which apply to offset 

lithographic printing lines located in the 

Dallas-Fort Worth (Collin, Dallas, 

Denton, Ellis, Johnson, Kaufman, 

Parker, Rockwall, and Tarrant counties), 

El Paso, and Houston-GalvestonBrazoria (Brazoria, Chambers, Fort 

Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, 

Montgomery and Waller counties) areas. 

This submittal addresses 

recommendations for Reasonably 

Available Control Technology (RACT) 

in the Control Technique Guideline 

(CTG) issued in 2006 entitled, 

‘‘Lithographic Printing Materials and 

Letterpress Printing Materials’’ for the 

DFW and HGB areas, and also updates 

the rules for this source category for 

DFW, El Paso, and HGB.

Area, the RACT Analysis for the Offset 

Lithographic CTG Category, adopted 

March 10, 2010 and submitted April 6, 

2010. 

Our March 12, 2014 proposal 

provides a detailed description of the 

revisions and the rationale for EPA’s 

proposed actions, together with a 

discussion of the opportunity to 

comment. The public comment period 

for these actions closed on April 11, 

2014. See the Technical Support 

Document in the docket for this 

rulemaking and our proposal at 79 FR 

13963 for more information. We did not 

receive any comments regarding our 

proposal. Therefore, we are finalizing 

our action as proposed. 

II. Final Action 

The EPA is approving Texas’ 2010 SIP 

revisions for the VOC CTG source 

category Offset Lithographic Printing 

rules. We are approving revisions to the 

following sections within 30 TAC 

Chapter 115: 115.440, 115.441, 115.442, 

115.443, 115.445, 115.446, and 115.449. 

In addition, the EPA is finding that for 

this CTG category Texas has RACT-level 

controls in place for the HGB and DFW 

Areas under the 1997 8-hour ozone 

standard. The EPA is approving these 

revisions in accordance with sections 

110, 172(c) and 182 of the federal Clean 

Air Act and consistent with the EPA’s 

guidance. 

III. 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 

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 October 3, 2014. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this final rule does not 

affect the finality of this action for the 

purposed 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).)
