[TX-121-1-7450a; FRL-6913-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Texas; Control 
of Emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds from Batch Processes, 
Industrial Wastewater and Service Stations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA is taking direct final action to approve revisions to 
the Texas State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions incorporate 
regulations to control Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from 
batch processes, industrial wastewater, and during the filling of 
underground storage tanks at gasoline service stations. The intended 
effect is to approve the regulations into the Texas SIP. This action is 
being taken in accordance with the Federal Clean Air Act (Act).

DATES: This rule is effective on February 20, 2001 without further 
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by January 19, 2001. If EPA 
receives such adverse comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in 
the Federal Register informing the public the rule will not take 
effect.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to Mr. 
Thomas Diggs, Chief, Air Planning Section (6PD-L), at the EPA Region 6 
Office listed below.

Please note that if we receive adverse comment(s) on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision is independent 
of the remainder of the rule, we may adopt as final those provisions of 
the rule that are not the subject of adverse comment.

1. What Action Is EPA Taking?

    We are approving three provisions as part of the Texas State 
Implementation Plan. We believe these revisions will help Texas meet 
certain requirements of the Clean Air Act and they will contribute to 
attainment of the one-hour ozone standard in the Houston/Galveston, 
Beaumont/Port Arthur and Dallas/Fort Worth nonattainment areas. The 
three provisions are:
    <bullet> We are approving rules to control emissions from 
industrial wastewater sources in the Synthetic Organic Chemical 
Industry (SOCMI) in the Houston/Galveston and Beaumont/Port Arthur 
ozone nonattainment areas (30 Texas Administrative Code(TAC)115.140-
149) as meeting the section 182(b)(2) and section 183 Reasonably 
Available Control Technology (RACT) requirements. These rules were 
initially submitted for the Houston/Galveston, Dallas/Fort Worth, and 
El Paso areas in a letter from the Governor of Texas dated May 9, 1994 
and given limited approval. See 64 FR 3841 (January 26, 1999) and 62 FR 
27964 (May 22, 1997). The rules were revised as they relate to the 
Beaumont/Port Arthur and Houston/Galveston areas and submitted in a 
letter from the Governor of Texas dated November 12, 1999. We are 
approving the 1999 regulations as revised for the Beaumont/Port Arthur 
and Houston/Galveston areas as meeting RACT. Furthermore, we are 
converting the limited approval to a full approval because we now 
believe that RACT is being implemented for major sources in this source 
category in all four 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas in Texas. (We 
previously approved negative declarations for this source category in 
the El Paso and Dallas/Fort Worth areas. See 61 FR 55897 (October 30, 
1996).)
    <bullet> We are approving as RACT, rules to control emissions from 
batch processes in the Beaumont/Port Arthur ozone nonattainment area 
(30 TAC 115.160-115.169). The rules to control Batch Processes were 
submitted in a letter dated November 12, 1999.
    <bullet> We are approving rules to require recovery of vapors 
displaced when tanker trucks unload gasoline at service stations in the 
eastern half of Texas (30 TAC 115.213-115.229 and 115.234-115.239). 
These rules were submitted in a letter dated August 9, 1999. We are 
approving these rules under part D of the Act because the State of 
Texas is relying upon these VOC reductions to demonstrate attainment of 
the 1-hour ozone standard in the Beaumont/Port Arthur, Dallas/Fort 
Worth, and Houston/Galveston areas. We are also approving these rules 
under sections 110 and 116 because the State is relying upon these 
rules for the continued maintenance of the standard in the eastern half 
of the State of Texas and as a strengthening of the existing Texas SIP.
    In addition, when we approved the Texas VOC rules for the capture 
and control of the vapors at bulk gasoline

[[Page 79746]]

plants and terminals on September 5, 2000 (65 FR 53595), the sections 
115.213-115.217 that we approved were inadvertently not codified. 
Today, we are codifying those sections.

2. What Is a Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT)?

    Section 172(c)(1) of the Act contains general requirements for 
States to implement RACT in areas that do not meet the NAAQS. Section 
182(b)(2) of the Act contains more specific requirements for moderate 
and above ozone nonattainment areas. The EPA has defined RACT as the 
lowest emission limitation that a particular source is capable of 
meeting by the application of control technology that is reasonably 
available, considering technological and economic feasibility. See 44 
FR 53761 (September 17, 1979). RACT is required for major sources in 
ozone nonattainment areas and for minor sources where EPA has issued a 
Control Technique Guideline.

3. Why Do We Regulate Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)?

    Oxygen in the atmosphere reacts with VOCs and Oxides of Nitrogen to 
form ozone, a key component of urban smog. Inhaling even low levels of 
ozone can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pains, 
coughing, nausea, throat irritation, and congestion. It also can worsen 
bronchitis and asthma. Exposure to ozone can also reduce lung capacity 
in healthy adults.

4. What Is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)?

    Volatile Organic Compound is a term used to describe a class of 
chemicals that react in the atmosphere in the presence of sunlight to 
form ozone. Sources include vehicle exhaust, gasoline vapors, oil-based 
paints and industrial operations. A regulatory definition of Volatile 
Organic Compounds can be found at 40 CFR 51.100(s). The definition in 
Texas can be found in 30 TAC 115.10.

5. What Do the Industrial Wastewater Rules Require?

    The wastewater from SOCMI facilities can contain significant 
quantities of VOC. These VOCs can enter the air when wastewater comes 
in contact with the atmosphere in junction boxes, holding ponds or open 
tanks. The Texas rules for the Houston/Galveston and Beaumont/Port 
Arthur areas require that 90 percent of the VOCs be removed from a 
wastewater stream before the wastewater is exposed to the air. Streams 
that contain more than 1000 ppm VOC are subject to the 90% removal 
requirement. The wastewater rules apply in Hardin, Jefferson and Orange 
counties in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area; Harris, Brazoria, Galveston, 
Liberty, Chambers, Waller, Montgomery, and Fort Bend Counties in the 
Houston/Galveston area.
    In Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties in the Dallas/Fort 
Worth area and El Paso County in the El Paso area, less stringent 
requirements that we had previously given limited approval continue in 
place. The EPA is converting the limited approval of the rules for 
Dallas/Fort Worth and El Paso to full approval because there are no 
major sources of VOCs from wastewater in those areas. Therefore, RACT 
is not required for this source category in those areas. We approved 
the determination by Texas that there are no major sources of VOCs from 
wastewater in the Dallas/Fort Worth and El Paso areas (a negative 
declaration) on October 30, 1996 (61 FR 55897). The negative 
declaration is still acceptable for the Dallas/Fort Worth area although 
the definition of a ``major source'' changed from 100 tons per year to 
50 tons per year when we reclassified the area from moderate to 
serious. For a complete description of our review of the industrial 
wastewater rules see the TSD for this document.

6. What Do the Batch Processing Rules Require?

    Batch Processes are those processes characterized by non-steady 
state conditions. Products are used to make pharmaceuticals and 
specialty chemicals. The products are made in batches rather than 
continuously. They generate emissions from vents from reactors and 
process vessels.
    The rules require that the emissions from the vents be reduced by 
90%. Vents can be exempted from control based on the volumetric flow 
rate of the gas stream and the mass flow rate of the VOCs. The rules 
include equations that allow vent streams to be considered separately 
and in combination to determine whether it is cost effective to control 
the vents. The rule envisions that several vent streams could be routed 
together to a common control device if in combination the streams are 
cost effective to control. If based on the equations, control of a 
stream is not found to be cost effective, either individually or 
combined with other streams in the batch process the stream is exempted 
from control.
    The rules apply in the Hardin, Jefferson and Orange Counties in the 
Beaumont/Port Arthur nonattainment area. For a complete description of 
our review of the batch processing rules see the Technical Support 
Document for this action.

7. What Is Required by the Revisions to the Vapor Recovery Rules 
for Gasoline Service Stations?

    The rules would require capturing the vapors from the gasoline 
station storage tanks as tank-trucks fill these tanks, returning the 
vapors to the tank-truck. This is commonly known as Stage I vapor 
recovery. The tank-truck then carries the vapors back to the bulk 
gasoline plant or terminal. To insure the vapors are not lost in 
transit, the Texas rules also include requirements that the gasoline 
tank-trucks be tested for vapor tightness. We are approving the vapor 
recovery requirements and the vapor tightness requirements.
    Separate rules call for the capture and control of the vapors at 
bulk gasoline plants and terminals. We have reviewed the requirements 
for bulk gasoline plants and terminals and approved them in a separate 
Federal Register (see 65 FR 53595). In the previous approval action, 
however, we inadvertently omitted several sections from the 
codification table identifying the approved rules. We are codifying 
these sections to clarify which sections are approved. These sections 
are 30 TAC 115.213-115.217.
    The Stage I rules have been in place for many years in the Dallas/
Fort Worth, El Paso, Houston/Galveston and Beaumont/Port Arthur areas. 
The Texas rules expand the requirement to the larger gas stations in 95 
additional counties in the eastern half of the State. The rules apply 
to service stations with a throughput greater than 125,000 gallons/
month.
    These counties are: Anderson, Angelina, Aransas, Atascosa, Austin, 
Bastrop, Bee, Bell, Bexar, Bosque, Bowie, Brazos, Burleson, Caldwell, 
Calhoun, Camp, Cass, Cherokee, Colorado, Comal, Cooke, Coryell, De 
Witt, Delta, Ellis, Falls, Fannin, Fayette, Franklin, Freestone, 
Goliad, Gonzales, Grayson, Gregg, Grimes, Guadalupe, Harrison, Hays, 
Henderson, Hill, Hood, Hopkins, Houston, Hunt, Jackson, Jasper, 
Johnson, Karnes, Kaufman, Lamar, Lavaca, Lee, Leon, Limestone, Live 
Oak, Madison, Marion, Matagorda, McLennan, Milam, Morris, Nacogdoches, 
Navarro, Newton, Nueces, Panola, Parker, Polk, Rains, Red River, 
Refugio, Robertson, Rockwall, Rusk, Sabine, San Jacinto, San Patricio, 
San Augustine, Shelby, Smith, Somervell, Titus, Travis, Trinity, Tyler, 
Upshur, Van Zandt, Victoria, Walker, Washington, Wharton, Williamson, 
Wilson, Wise, and Wood.
    These rules are designed to reduce overall background levels of 
ozone in

[[Page 79747]]

the eastern portion of Texas. TNRCC has included these reductions in 
its attainment plans for Houston/Galveston, Beaumont/Port Arthur and 
Dallas/Fort Worth. In addition, the rules will help other areas such as 
Austin and San Antonio maintain attainment of the one-hour ozone 
standard.
    Our Regional office developed a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) 
(40 CFR 52.2285) for Bexar County, and certain counties in central and 
east Texas, in the mid-1970s. The FIP applied to service stations with 
a storage capacity greater than or equal to 1000 gallons. The Texas 
rules that we are approving as a revision to the Texas SIP set 
exemption levels based on throughput, not storage capacity. Upon the 
effective date of our approval of sections 115.222-115.229, affected 
sources will only need to comply with the State's SIP-approved VOC 
rules and not our FIP VOC rule. The affected sources are service 
stations with a throughput greater than 125,000 gallons per month.
    The FIP requirements will remain in place for service stations with 
a storage capacity greater than or equal to 1000 gallons and a 
throughput less than 125,000 gallons per month. The affected counties 
are: Bexar, Comal, Ellis, Guadalupe, Hood, Johnson, Kaufman, Matagorda, 
Parker, Rockwall, and Wise.

8. What Is a State Implementation Plan (SIP)?

    Section 110 of the Act requires States to develop air pollution 
regulations and control strategies to ensure that State air quality 
meets the NAAQS that EPA has established. Under section 109 of the Act, 
EPA established the NAAQS to protect public health. The NAAQS address 
six criteria pollutants. These criteria pollutants are: carbon 
monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, lead, particulate matter, and sulfur 
dioxide.
    Each State must submit these regulations and control strategies to 
us for approval and incorporation into the federally enforceable SIP. 
Each State has a SIP designed to protect air quality. These SIPs can be 
extensive, containing State regulations or other enforceable documents 
and supporting information such as emission inventories, monitoring 
networks, and modeling demonstrations.

9. What Is the Federal Approval Process for a SIP?

    When a State wants to incorporate its regulations into the 
federally enforceable SIP, the State must formally adopt the 
regulations and control strategies consistent with State and Federal 
requirements. This process includes a public notice, a public hearing, 
a public comment period, and a formal adoption by a state-authorized 
rulemaking body.
    Once a State adopts a rule, regulation, or control strategy, the 
State may submit the adopted provisions to us and request that we 
include these provisions in the federally enforceable SIP. We must then 
decide on an appropriate Federal action, provide public notice on this 
action, and seek additional public comment regarding this action. If we 
receive adverse comments, we must address them prior to a final action.
    Under section 110 of the Act, when we approve a State's 
regulation(s) and supporting information, those State regulation(s) and 
supporting information become a part of the federally approved SIP. You 
can find records of these SIP actions in the Code of Federal 
Regulations at title 40, part 52, entitled ``Approval and Promulgation 
of Implementation Plans.'' The actual State regulations that we 
approved are not reproduced in their entirety in the CFR but are 
``incorporated by reference,'' which means that we have approved a 
given State regulation with a specific effective date.

10. What Does Federal Approval of a SIP Mean to Me?

    A State may enforce State regulations before and after we 
incorporate those regulations into a federally approved SIP. After we 
incorporate those regulations into a federally approved SIP, both EPA 
and the public may also take enforcement action against violators of 
these regulations.
    The EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because we 
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse 
comments. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of today's Federal 
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will 
serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision if adverse comments 
are received. This rule will be effective on February 20, 2001 without 
further notice unless we receive adverse comment by January 19, 2001. 
If EPA receives adverse comments, we will publish a timely withdrawal 
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not 
take effect. We will address all public comments in a subsequent final 
rule based on the proposed rule. We will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time.

Administrative Requirements

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This action 
merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes 
no additional requirements beyond those imposed by State law. 
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a 
significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities 
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because 
this rule approves pre-existing requirements under State law and does 
not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by 
State law, it 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). For the same reason, 
this rule also does not significantly or uniquely affect the 
communities of tribal governments, as specified by Executive Order 
13084 (63 FR 27655, May 10, 1998). This rule will not have substantial 
direct effects on the States, on the relationship between the national 
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and 
responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified 
in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999), because it 
merely approves a State rule implementing a Federal standard, and does 
not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and 
responsibilities established in the Act. This rule also is not subject 
to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is 
not economically significant.
    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve State 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Act. In this 
context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State 
to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to 
disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP 
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise 
satisfies the provisions of the Act. Thus, the requirements of section 
12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 
(15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. The rule does not involve special 
consideration of environmental justice related issues as required by 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16,1994). As required by 
section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (61 FR 4729,

[[Page 79748]]

February 7, 1996), in issuing this rule, EPA has taken the necessary 
steps to eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity, minimize potential 
litigation, and provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct. 
The EPA has complied with Executive Order 12630 (53 FR 8859, March 15, 
1988) by examining the takings implications of the rule in accordance 
with the ``Attorney General's Supplemental Guidelines for the 
Evaluation of Risk and Avoidance of Unanticipated Takings'' issued 
under the executive order. This rule does not impose an information 
collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act 
of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    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. The EPA will submit a report containing this rule 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). This rule will be effective February 20, 2001 unless EPA 
receives adverse written comments by January 19, 2001.
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Act, petitions for judicial review 
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for 
the appropriate circuit by February 20, 2001. Filing a petition for 
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect 
the finality of this rule 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) of the Act.
