AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the State of 

Connecticut addressing source 

monitoring in Connecticut. The 

principal proposed revision is 

replacement of Regulations of

SIP Revision

I. Background and Purpose

RCSA section 22a–174–4, ‘‘Source

monitoring, record keeping, and 

reporting’’ was adopted by the state of 

Connecticut in 1989. This regulation 

defined how certain sources of air 

pollution are required to conduct air 

emissions and opacity monitoring. In 

2003, the Connecticut Department of 

Environmental Protection (CT DEEP) 

proposed revisions to section 22a–174– 

4, and, on July 16, 2014, EPA approved 

22a–174–4 into the Connecticut SIP 

(previously codified as Section 19–508– 

4). See 79 FR 41427. 

In October 2022, to address changes 

in federal regulatory requirements and 

source-monitoring technologies, CT 

DEEP replaced section 22a–174–4 with 

22a–174–4a (also called source 

monitoring, record keeping, and 

reporting). This new regulation became 

effective in Connecticut on October 28, 

2022. 

On November 17, 2022, CT DEEP 

submitted section 22a–174–4a as a SIP 

revision for EPA approval. This 

submission included several citation 

updates to other SIP-approved 

regulations (sections 22a–174– 

3d(f)(1)(B), 22a–174–20(a)(12), 22a–174– 

22e(m)(1), 22a–174–22e(m)(4), 22a–174– 

38(j)(1), and 22a–2a–1(b)(3)). 

On December 19, 2022, CT DEEP 

submitted a supplement to this SIP 

revision that withdrew portions of the 

submitted regulatory text from the 

November 17, 2022 submittal that are 

currently not part of the Connecticut SIP 

(sections 22a–174–3d(f)(1)(B), 22a–174– 

38(j)(1), and 22a–2a–1(b)(3)). 

On February 27, 2023, the state 

submitted a letter withdrawing one 

additional provision (section 22a–174– 

4a (g)(6)) of the submitted regulatory 

text in section 22a–174–4a. This letter 

also provided additional information 

about CT DEEP’s implementation of 

‘‘out-of-control’’ periods. 

As described below, CT DEEP’s SIP 

submittal, as modified by the December 

19, 2022 supplement and the February 

27, 2023 letter, strengthens its source 

monitoring requirements and, thus, the 

state’s ability to detect violations of 

emission limits. Therefore, we are 

proposing to approve section 22a–174– 

4a, except for section 22a–174–4a(g)(6) 

which CT DEEP excluded from 

inclusion in the SIP submission, and the 

citation updates to related EPAapproved regulations into the 

Connecticut SIP. 

II. Summary and Evaluation of

Connecticut’s SIP Revision

EPA-approved RCSA section 22a– 

174–4 requires certain stationary 

sources to install, operate, and maintain 

opacity and gaseous continuous 

emissions monitoring (CEM) equipment. 

Opacity CEMs are also known as 

continuous opacity monitoring systems 

(COMS). These stationary sources, with 

some exemptions, include equipment 

that combusts coal, liquid or solid fuelburning equipment with a maximum 

rated heat input equal to or greater than 

250,000,000 British thermal units per 

hour (Btu/hr), incinerators with a 

maximum rated input greater than 2,000 

pounds per hour (lbs/hr), and process 

sources with particulate matter (PM) 

emissions greater than 25 lbs/hr after 

application of control equipment when 

operated at maximum rated capacity. 

Connecticut’s SIP submittal, as 

modified by the December 2022 

supplement and the February 2023 

letter (described in the background 

section above), proposes to repeal 

section 22a–174–4 from the Connecticut 

SIP and replace it with section 22a– 

174–4a. The new regulation (section 

22a–174–4a) applies to the same group 

of stationary sources as section 22a– 

174–4 but is restructured to include 

provisions that were either missing from 

or not clearly set out in section 22a– 

174–4, such as the applicability of the 

regulation and a distinct separation of 

opacity monitoring from other pollutant 

monitoring. The new regulation also 

provides more detailed and clearer 

provisions regarding performance 

specifications and quality-assurance 

requirements that are consistent with 

current federal and state requirements. 

Specifically, section 22a–174–4a adds 

a separate section on applicability and 

clarifies that the regulation is intended 

to ensure compliance with Connecticut 

General Statute Chapter 446c ‘‘Air 

Pollution Control,’’ and regulations 

thereunder, which include all of Section 

22a–174 (formerly Sec. 19–508). The 

new regulation also clarifies that it 

applies to sources that are required to 

install, operate, and maintain CEMS or 

COMS. 

EPA-approved section 22a–174–4 

requires sources with CEMS or COMS to 

submit a monitoring plan to the state for 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
14794 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules 

approval at least 60 days before 

initiation of required performance 

specification testing. This plan must 

contain a description of the source, 

including type of unit or process, type 

of fuel combusted, type(s) of emission 

control devices, and operation 

parameters, as well as monitoring 

equipment design, proposed monitor 

location and sampling site location. In 

addition, the plan must provide 

performance specification testing 

(conducted by the source) for each 

pollutant, and a quality assurance (QA) 

plan that includes, among other things, 

corrective action for monitoring system 

breakdowns. 

The new regulation section 22a–174– 

4a requires a similar monitoring plan, 

called an ‘‘initial monitoring plan,’’ to 

be submitted electronically to the state 

not less than 90 days before initiation of 

required performance specification 

testing. This initial monitoring plan 

must be approved by the state. Section 

22a–174–4a adds a new provision (i.e., 

not included in 22a–174–4) that if an 

existing CEMS or COMS undergoes a 

significant change that makes a 

previously submitted monitoring plan 

inaccurate, a revised monitoring plan 

must be submitted electronically for 

state approval not more than 14 days 

after completion of the CEMS or COMS 

modification. Also, sources are required 

to maintain hardcopy or electronic 

records of all monitoring plans (initial 

and revised). 

EPA-approved RCSA section 22a– 

174–4 requires any source with CEM 

equipment to conduct QA audits during 

each calendar quarter in which the 

source operates. The new regulation 

(section 22a–174–4a) strengthens this 

requirement by requiring these sources 

to perform annual, quarterly, and daily 

QA audits. In addition, each new CEMS 

must undergo an initial certification for 

each monitored pollutant, including a 

Relative Accuracy Test Audit 

certification, and each modified CEMS 

must be recertified for each pollutant or 

diluent for which the monitor was 

modified. Section 22a–174–4a also 

requires audit reports and COMS or 

CEMS reports to be submitted to CT 

DEEP each calendar quarter. These 

quarterly reports must include a 

summary of excess emissions and the 

CEMS or COMS performance, including 

a list of all periods of malfunctions of 

the CEMS or COMS. 

As described in the background 

section above, CT DEEP’s sourcemonitoring SIP submittal includes the 

original November 17, 2022 submittal 

plus the December 19, 2022 supplement 

and the February 27, 2023 letter. The 

source-monitoring submittal includes 

all of section 22a–174–4a, except 22a– 

174–4a(g)(6)), which would have 

allowed CT DEEP to waive certain 

minimum data availability 

requirements. The submittal also 

includes several citation updates to 

other SIP-approved regulations. These 

citation updates are in RCSA sections 

22a–174–20(a)(12), 22a–174–22e(m)(1), 

and 22a–174–22e(m)(4). In addition, the 

submittal provides additional 

information about CT DEEP’s 

implementation of ‘‘out-of-control’’ 

periods. Specifically, the provisions of 

40 CFR 75, Appendix B and 40 CFR 60, 

Appendix F describe when an out-ofcontrol period begins and ends. 

Therefore, determination of these 

periods would not be a matter of 

discretionary judgment by CT DEEP. 

EPA has determined that CT DEEP’s 

source-monitoring SIP submittal 

strengthens its source monitoring 

requirements and, thus, the state’s 

ability to detect violations of emission 

limits. 

III. Proposed Action 

EPA is proposing to approve RCSA 

Section 22a–174–4a ‘‘Source 

monitoring, record keeping and 

reporting,’’ except for section 22a–174– 

4a(g)(6). We are also proposing to 

approve modifications to sections 22a– 

174–20(a)(12), 22a–174–22e(m)(1), and 

22a–174–22e(m)(4) into the Connecticut 

SIP. In addition, we are proposing to 

replace RCSA section 22a–174–4, which 

is currently in the Connecticut SIP, with 

RCSA section 22a–174–4a. 

As described above, CT DEEP has 

adequately demonstrated that its sourcemonitoring SIP revisions would 

strengthen Connecticut’s monitoring 

requirements and, thus, the state’s 

ability to detect violations of emission 

limits. Moreover, these revisions will 

not interfere with attainment or 

maintenance of air quality standards or 

other applicable CAA requirements as 

required by section 110(l) of the CAA. 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

the issues discussed in this notice or on 

other relevant matters. These comments 

will be considered before taking final 

action. Interested parties may 

participate in the Federal rulemaking 

procedure by submitting written 

comments to this proposed rule by 

following the instructions listed in the 

ADDRESSES section of this Federal 

Register. 

IV. 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 

Connecticut’s regulation section 22a– 

174–4a (source monitoring, record 

keeping and reporting), and 

modifications to sections 22a–174– 

20(a)(12), 22a–174–22e(m)(1), and 22a– 

174–22e(m)(4) as discussed in section II. 

The EPA has made, and will continue 

to make, these documents generally 

available through https://

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 1 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

EPA is also proposing to remove 

Connecticut’s regulation section 22a– 

174–4 (source monitoring, record 

keeping and reporting), which was 

approved July 16, 2014 (79 FR 41427), 

from the Connecticut SIP. 

V. 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. 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 Clean 

Air Act. Accordingly, this proposed 

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 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 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 (Public Law 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); 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 41 / Thursday, February 29, 2024 / Proposed Rules 14795 

• 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 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. 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.’’ 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 Connecticut DEEP 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. 

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.
