SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. 

Organization of this document: The 

following outline is provided to aid in 

locating information in this preamble. 

I. Background and Purpose 

II. Connecticut’s Reasonably Available 

Control Technology Updates 

III. Final Action 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On May 24, 2013 (78 FR 31459), EPA 

published a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (NPR) for the State of 

Connecticut. In that action, EPA 

proposed approval of Connecticut’s 

revisions to Section 22a–174–20 

‘‘Control of Organic Compound 

Emissions’’ and Connecticut’s newly 

adopted Section 22a–174–40 

‘‘Consumer Products’’ and Section 22a– 

174–44 ‘‘Adhesives and Sealants.’’ 

These regulations address RACT for the 

VOC source categories covered by 

Control Technique Guidelines (CTGs) 

issued by EPA in 2006, 2007, and 2008 1

and include requirements to reduce 

VOC emissions from consumer products 

based on the 2006 Ozone Transport 

Commission (OTC) model rule. EPA 

also proposed approval of the negative 

declarations for the CTGs for which 

Connecticut determined no applicable 

sources exist in the State of Connecticut. 

II. Connecticut’s Reasonably Available 

Control Technology Updates 

On February 1, 2008, Connecticut 

submitted its consumer products 

regulation to EPA as part of its 8-hour 

Ozone Attainment Demonstration SIP 

revision. Then, on November 18, 2008, 

Connecticut submitted its adhesives and 

sealants regulation as part of its Annual 

Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) 

Attainment Demonstration SIP revision. 

On April 29, 2010, Connecticut 

submitted a SIP revision that addressed 

eight CTGs: Flexible package printing; 

industrial cleaning solvents; large 

appliance coatings; metal furniture 

coatings; miscellaneous industrial 

adhesives; offset lithographic printing 

and letterpress printing; and paper, film 

and foil coatings. At that time, 

Connecticut also submitted negative 

declarations for three CTGs: Automobile 

and light-duty truck assembly coating; 

fiberglass boat manufacturing; and flat 

wood paneling coating. On November 

21, 2012, Connecticut submitted a SIP 

revision that addressed the CTG for 

miscellaneous metal and plastic parts 

coatings. Lastly, in letters dated March 

13, 2013 and April 3, 2013, Connecticut 

withdrew a number of provisions from 


ehiers on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
32874 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 110 / Monday, June 9, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

the April 29, 2010 and February 1, 2008 

SIP submittals, respectively. 

EPA has reviewed Connecticut’s new 

and revised VOC regulations and found 

that they are consistent with the 

relevant CTGs and OTC 

recommendations. In addition, 

Connecticut’s process for determining 

the categories for which the state should 

make negative declarations was 

reasonable. Therefore, EPA concludes 

that Connecticut has met the CAA 

requirement to adopt RACT for all the 

2006, 2007, and 2008 CTGs. 

III. Final Action 

EPA is approving, and incorporating 

into the SIP, the following changes to 

Connecticut’s Section 22a–174–20 

‘‘Control of organic compound 

emissions’’ as meeting RACT for the 

relevant CTG categories: Revised 

subsection (p) Metal furniture coatings; 

revised subsection (q) Paper, film, and 

foil coatings; revised subsection (s) 

Miscellaneous metal and plastic parts 

coatings; new subsection (ff) Flexible 

package printing; new subsection (gg) 

Offset lithographic printing and 

letterpress printing; new subsection (hh) 

Large appliance coatings; new 

subsection (ii) Industrial solvent 

cleaning; new subsection (jj) Spray 

application equipment cleaning; and 

new subsection (kk) Pleasure craft 

coatings. 

Additionally, EPA is approving, and 

incorporating into the SIP, 

Connecticut’s new Section 22a–174–40 

‘‘Consumer Products,’’ consistent with 

the OTC’s recommendations, and 

Connecticut’s new Section 22a–174–44 

‘‘Adhesives and Sealants’’ as meeting 

RACT. 

EPA is taking no action on the 

portions of sections 22a–174– 

20(ff)(1)(K), (ff)(5)(B)(vi), (gg)(1)(O), 

(gg)(7)(B)(Vi), (hh)(1)(CC), (hh)(7)(B)(vi), 

(ii)(1)(I), (ii)(6)(B)(vi), (jj)(1)(H), (jj)(3)(D), 

and (jj)(6)(B)(vii) which Connecticut 

withdrew from its April 29, 2010 SIP 

submittal. Likewise, EPA is taking no 

action on the portions of Sections 22a– 

174–40(c)(4) through (7) and 22a–174– 

40(f)(2)(C) through (D), which 

Connecticut withdrew from its February 

1, 2008 SIP submittal. 

EPA is also approving, and 

incorporating into the SIP, minor 

revisions to the following subsections of 

Connecticut’s Section 22a–174–20: 

(f)(9); (l)(1) and (2); (aa)(1); (cc)(2) and 

(3); and subsection (ee) Reasonably 

available control technology for large 

sources. EPA is also approving 

Connecticut’s request to withdraw 

subsection (g) Architectural coatings of 

Section 22a–174–20 from the SIP. 

Lastly, EPA is approving Connecticut’s 

negative declarations for three source 

categories: Flat wood paneling coating; 

fiberglass and boat manufacturing; and 

automobile and light-duty truck 

assembly coating. Connecticut has, 

therefore, met the CAA requirement to 

adopt RACT for all of the 2006, 2007, 

and 2008 CTGs. 

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, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

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 Clean Air Act; 

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 Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by August 8, 2014. 

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. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

[Docket ID FEMA–2014–0002; Internal 

Agency Docket No. FEMA–8333] 

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http:// 

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: Effective Dates: The effective 

date of each community’s scheduled 

suspension is the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) 

listed in the third column of the 

following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact David Stearrett, 

Federal Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–2953. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction
